> Also Prusas software are forks too so weird thing to call out bambu for.

They've been developing and supporting those forks in house for years, giving back to the community. I don't know about Bambu, but typically other Chinese companies don't really do that.
I don't understand the negativity in here. I would never expect Little Snitch (my opinion) to completely block all network traffic on all levels and this seems reasonable to me. Does it leak my ip? Yes. Do I think it compromises my security? No, there's so much noise on internet facing services that just initiating connection would easily get lost in the noise of all the botnets, port scans and legitimate users.

There's huge amount of other ways how data can be exfiltrated if one wishes to do so, from domain fronting, DNS level (you can easily tunnel data via DNS), forcing OS and/or whitelisted application to do it on your behalf (haven't tried but I think the files where rules are stored is readable by current user/process?). Such techniques can bypass even insanely expensive network IDS taps if there is enough incentive on the attacker side. I would never expect Little Snitch to be on the same level as those expensive network taps.

I think the use case people now forget is preventing applications to send meaningful data to analytic services like google ad-sense and similar or sending full data payloads (like http body). For this it's good enough. If your worry is about advanced techniques that would exfiltrate the data via DNS tunneling, partial TCP handshakes or forcing to do the connection/beacon on OS level for you then Little Snitch isn't going to help you and your problem is somewhere else. The last Electron wrapped application you downloaded that is packed with 5+ ad services isn't going to do that so it can get your IP.

On the other hand the wording may have been changed slightly and their use of "data" word so it doesn't give user the wrong impression but there is also a balance between explaining in 1-2 sentences what it does and writing 20 page document just to explain that and be technically correct in every word.
"Openai Whisper Keyboard" is good. It doesn't use whisper.cpp but rather a pytorch implementation that runs on Android.

I also use whisper.el on emacs. It's amazing. Much more powerful but computer based of course.
The tokens can be variable length too. If "911" appears often enough in the data used to make the BPE encoding, it may get assigned its own token. If it does, the model has no way to "pick it apart" and learn that it actually constructed of a 9, a 1 and a 1. That information has been thrown away, and must be laboriously re-learned from context during training, for those contexts where it's relevant (For instance, if it's part of a math task, or you need a word to rhyme with "been shot down" in a song in the style of Wyclef Jean).

It's quite possible that this trade-off is worth it, that making math and poetry harder to learn isn't a big deal because of the savings elsewhere (models can still learn it eventually, as we have seen).

But BPE isn't exactly elegant. It's itself a learned encoding, trained on a different objective from the rest of the system. In the rest of the training, we let the GPT model decide how to assemble lower-level concepts into higher-level ones, and which information to ignore. On the lowest level we've hardcoded it for the model, and we know the model sometimes have to work hard to undo our encoding.
AI is not a weapon. It's ultimately a synthetic brain running inside a machine. It can be used for good, or it can be mounted on a killer drone with deadly lasers. If you use it for evil, you go to jail. It should be as simple as that.

Don't Use AI for Evil. Make that into law.
As example I prefer Trio Mandili's Apareka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbsQJBxICN0 and the "heavy version" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iybYK53pzYw :)

Another one that has missed on OS/2.
But it's not really about the size, it's about the resolution and image quality. You are rendering a monitor inside another monitor, and you simply can't "display" an IPS 4K 144hz monitor through a LCD FHD 50hz one.
Killed by whom? Killing is not the highest form of intellectual expression, which is what we want to achieve.
within some constraints it is possible to "beat" stockfish.

Ie, on chess.com I think stockfish times out on bullet games.

Some versions of stockfish can lose vs specific gambits, ie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5ul6b695Pw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtJeE0Th7rk

of course it is probably much less likely with more cpu times on current version of stockfish.
I can't even recall the last I worked on a JS/TS codebase where type coercion wouldn't trigger a linting/compilation error
Seems Chat-GPT3 (free edition) is already feeling the heat:

"Currently we are receiving more requests than we are are comfortable with! To try your request again, come back in a short while and reload this page."
Just FYI the person giving the talk in my YouTube link is Chinese. Nor is the grit and intelligence of the knowledge workers that is being questioned.
I offer as many condolences to you as my internet connection can carry. Reading that you lost someone who was merely trying to take care of themselves really, really hurts.

I graduated high school in the mid 00's. When I last ran the numbers in 2018, my graduating class of ~250 had lost roughly 4% of its people over the years due to OD.

I deeply want this set of problems to get better, but I cannot convince myself that it will during my lifetime.
Enabling low-latency, syntax-aware editing using Tree-sitter
Whenever I stumble on the DIYs for "automatic" Espresso machines, I always wonder if the manual machines (think La Pavoni or Olympia) are not just simpler to use for controlling pressure.

Obviously, then you're still missing temp control. I guess I just like more simple stuff
"Unauthorized" border crossing (and otherwise innocent) immigrants are a key piece of the cartel smuggling apparatus. They are used as bait to overwhelm CBP resources (and asylum seekers often want to be caught, theyll be given a court date to make their asylum case and in many cases released), once the resources are overloaded the drug smugglers go through the rugged terrain to drop-off points.
Yeah, I mean, being fun/exciting to be around is kind of a valuable asset.. sucks if ya don't have it..
You can! They are focussing on their publishing platform, but it's open source https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost, see the self hosting guide https://ghost.org/docs/install/

Edit: I see you mentioned no self hosting in an other comment, then it might not make sense for you as the hosted version is indeed paid.
It might actually have been spelled "megablox"; it's been too long.
They would have gotten the same performance in python with numpy if they did it like this instead of calling norm for every polygon

centers = np.array([p.center for p in ps]) norm(centers - point, axis=1)

They were just using numpy wrong. You can be slow in any language if you use the tools wrong
Can Apple do better with Grouped Messages?
I'm not sure I agree about the conspiratorial nature of challenges. Challenges have been an artifact of popular social media since challenges started on YouTube, then Vine, and now TikTok. To say that TikTok challenges: (1) occur at a higher/worrying frequency (2) are designed to cause injury and destruction via an army of minors and (3) are "heated" up by TikTok, is a bold claim which at least anecdotally seems ridiculous.
My experience with espresso - the machine is less important than the grinder.
I think you should be looking at the stable and predictable location, where the legal system works and is independent. In EU, Netherlands is a popular location to domicile a business, but if you already established your startup in the US, I guess you made a good choice.
The ESA/NASA bureaucratic type brochure of 21 pages for this kind of thing likely doesn't cover the urgency of steps in an action plan by page 7.
Great video, amazing science. This is the sort of project where you wish humanity could put aside its differences and collaborate to get it done, given its potential to fundamentally change the course of civilisation.

Maybe we can put ChatGPT in charge...? :P
Doesn't get much smaller than "being able to read all Outlook emails from every Bing.com visitor", right?

Managers' fear of being micromanagers can result in them not supervising their teams.
So where is the subjective perspective of looking into the world coming from?

„It emerges“ is doing a lot work and explains nothing.
We already have several instances where social media was used to feed fake information and agitate people into rioting or acts of violence.

Imagine what would happen if we have these LLM tools, that aid in improving the story telling experience and generate and act as different personas. Having tools that can pretend to be a human even in limited capacity is quite dangerous.
You know what would be cool? The "Cancelling a large file copy doesn't freeze my explorer for 10 minutes" update. I've been waiting since Windows XP.
No. I own a car and I live in the apartment. Car is parked on the underground parking or can be parked around the building on the street spots. None of those are wired for charging and it would be incredibly expensive to do it now (I've also seen several new building in process of being build, just this winter, and there were no charging stations in the parkings too).

So my closest charging option is a station 25 minutes away from me (on bus). And that station has 10 posts, while in the surrounding area live maybe 50000 people, or so. Not very time friendly. Also because of the charging time it means that there is even no point to leave car at the station and take a bus home, because by the time I will get there I would need to go back immediately (25+25 minutes=50 min, and charging is about an hour or two).

Also price. People charging at home use a cheap electricity, while station charges really high prices. In the EU city I'm right now, the difference is x4.5 times. So while me and a rich guy in a private house are paying the same price for the petrol now, tomorrow when we both have EVs I will be literally subsidizing him indirectly, by forced to use much more expensive public charging.

I really want to own EV since early Tesla years, and often check news about the progress in this industry, but really don't see how can I do it.
Yes, penicilin is probably a better example.
This is exactly part of this Google USM approach, although these pretrained models are significantly smaller than ChatGPT. They reference this paper [1] which contains more details on the pretrained text-only alignment with the speech model.

The author did talk about it on reddit, but explained that for the purpose of the blog post they wanted to focus on the big stuff and profiling-guided optimisation of the process: https://reddit.com/r/rust/comments/125pbq0/blog_post_making_...
Fellow baker here - what exactly are your pain points? Because I can't see how it can be improved - modern steam ovens from AEG or Bosch bake kick ass. The sunmix and famag do amazing kneading. And shaping is very hard to make it non manual.
I live in a neighbourhood as the one described by the GP. In Europe. I experience none of the issues that you mention.
Runtime; there are things you can do, but generally Python takes more time and memory to do things than other languages/platforms. It got better in 3.11 but AFAIK it's still the slowest.
Its just means that if you change the code of SŌZU you'll have to have your fork public on GitHub.. Not a big deal.
Agreed it was well written, but kinda pointless though since they could have “solved” the problem using the existing tools in a couple lines of code without any new deps. All that content annd profiling and they missed the fact that they were using numpy wrong.
Programming has been going for a while, and there's a very wide variety of programming languages. I think one of the reason people have gone for things like Logo, Python, Lua when teaching kids is that there's a wide range of capabilities so you need to make sure they all can learn the basics without leaving others behind. If you try to teach anything too complicated the geek kids that are into computers and videogames will love it, but a third of the kids will just hate it. Maybe since Verse is a language expressly for Fornite, kids will self-select and it won't be as much of an issue, but if the question is whether it's a good language for kids to learn, it doesn't look very promising at first glance.
One thing I noticed when I was in college was that the basics of FP is not hard, in fact it seems way easier (from my data annecdote).

In my university CS course, we start with FP (using Haskell), and in a course with one of the biggest number of dropouts un the first year, FP wasn’t really a reason for it, in fact, from the ten 1st year classes FP was in the top half in success.

BUT what I actually took from that experience was that the students having more trouble with FP (excluding dropouts that failed everything) were actually people that had programing experience before college. For the rest of the world pure functions are easy and “x = x + 1” is confusing as hell.

To note that even though we used haskell, monads were just a light touch at the end mostly to use IO. Haskell has an intrepeter, so you could have a language that mimics how you wrote functions before. It also helped that we learned recursion paralel with induction on a math class, so we where recursing over a Natural Int type on FP while difining naturals through induction on a math intro class (and proofs over inductive definitions are usually do e with recursion).

FP suffers from
* unfamiliarity from the general programing community
* bad tooling due to smaller community
* people very vocal about a language like haskell which has research and teaching before production in its goals
* no decent bridge from the academia ivory to industry.

Some languages like elm most issues but suffer from smaller community and weird dictator.
Erlang was industry first but had a very small community (thus tooling), until elixir came aling decades later. And its focus get “solved” at a different layer/abstraction level by k8s.
Ocaml has shit tooling
F# is Microsoft ocaml, but suffers from most things you want to use with it are tailored for C#.
Lisp derivatives seem to live in a world of their own. Closure seems popular, and i guess emacs will never be irrelevant. And in lisps you have to learn all the vocabulary as each project is almost its own language.

So we need an FP language doing what GoLang did to C++.
Few features, very good tooling and libraries (as in golang has a formatter, builder, dependency manager, etc all on its “compiler”, and strong std lib), easy to read. Basically focusing on Developer productivity from hour 1. An “ML for the masses”, just like go was intended for devs straight out of college to be productive on day one.
I know :( People remark on it though exactly because it seems like a sudden and recent decline in standards.
Thanks, I've joined the business students association at uni and have started looking for potential co-founders. I'm not a hacker myself but I do have a little experience in code and understand the basics. So if I was to meet a cofounder at uni it would have to be someone based on the more engineer side of things.
I was born in the 70s, raised in Oregon, and we called them chalkboards. "Blackboard" sounded old-timey to me, like something you'd hear on Little House on the Prairie. A Google search result points out that green became a common color for chalkboards, and in retrospect I think most of mine in school were green.

More googling says that the original blackboards were slate. The green ones were porcelain.
I prefer dark-mode and light-mode.
Not even close to accurate. Not at all. Wikimedia has been trying to get China to allow a stripped down version of wikipedia in china for close to a decade now. It would be hosted in china and stripped of all political content deemed inappropriate by the CCP, still no.
You made this assertion multiple times, but so far it’s been entirely unsupported in fact, despite TFA having made the entire code set available for you to test your hypothesis on.
> bill criminalizes access to censured foreign media

That wasn’t my reading. It criminalises helping people circumvent the investment limits.

Anything that requires a high degree of explainability.

A few years ago I was going to local AI meetups and one of the smaller banks used as a test arm for one of the major banks was saying they had hit on some pretty amazing AI results for some banking functions.

But the regulator would not even go near them because they couldn't explain exactly how the results were achieved, or not achieved.

I believe at the time about the best they could get regulator engagement on was random forests.
I tried it, but I can't find the right model for llama+lora 30B . Google, nor Bing ;) is not helpful.
The bill doesn't criminalize anything, because it is not a law for god sake.

It's a proposal for a law that a small group of lawmakers drafted.

That draft is then reviewed, if it has any merit it goes to the House where needs to be debated, changed and voted, then goes to the Senate to repeat the process, before it can be sent to the president to turn into law.

Some bills are ridiculously bold, that's why very few become law and ZERO of them without lots of amendments.

Bold bills like this one get picked up by the media for obvious reasons, and some people read it like it's an imminent law to be enacted and enforced.

It is important to read them of course and to know who's behind them, because in America we have the opportunity to call our representatives to raise our concerns and complain.

It is not the first bold bill to be drafted and won't be the last one, that's why 96% bills don't go anywhere.

This is how our system works since 1789.

My wife is Russian by the way and grew up in the Soviet Union, so don't be ridiculous saying stuff like this.
In their report (https://msrc.microsoft.com/blog/2023/03/guidance-on-potentia...) Microsoft doesn't even say whether end users were impacted. This seems to be a MASSIVE issue.
Slowest in runtime performance I'd guess as the CPython runtime isn't really known for its performance. Other projects such as PyPy implement a much faster interpreter/JIT compiler but there are some compatibility quirks to use them.
All of them in the comment. I forgot to do double-newlines, so the formatting is broken, and I can't edit the post any more.
What is the relation? Polars replaces pandas, not numpy.
Do you really think china and other hostile countries will halt anything because Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and some other guys signed a letter? Also what about Musks tesla itself they are using AI for FSD and no one bats an eye
Welcome to the post-API world, where your code can break just because... well, we're not sure, but it's related to AI, so everything is fine :)
> Upscaling is the most obvious one

I don't want any upscaling at all in my photos. One pixel on the sensor must correspond to one pixel in the output.
`time` is absolutely awful, with the minor exception of bsd’s time maybe.

If you’re going to benchmark scripts or executables, use hyperfine.
If it has access to the internet (it more or less has) and its able to convincingly engage in conversation sounding like anyone in text or voice or video (it more or less can), it’s as able to contact people and convince them to do things as a human would be. From what I see of ChatGPT I would be surprised if the tech could do all that successfully enough at this stage, but in principle I don’t see why it wouldn’t be able to do quite a lot of scary things if for some reason it decided that was the right thing to do.
I would not use anything made by oracle if I have the choice. My team sees it similarly.
No pricing on enterprise. I am hoping this will be custom priced for everyone and not at a minimum of $42,000, otherwise one of my ventures is basically bust.

Also pretty funny how the justification for all this by Musk was “it’s to protect from bots” yet every tier basically allows auto posting.
Wehn driving, you don't want to move your sight away from the road. Thus, muscle memory is super important. But touch screen simply rendered all that useless.

Even with the CBS "slant" for migrant support, they do say this:

"According to the DEA, most of the fentanyl is smuggled over land across the U.S.-Mexico border. Smaller amounts are smuggled by air from China."
Holy Macaroni! Google is not looking good, they are in panick mode and fumbling the ball. It doesn't look like they'll be able to recover in time for this challenge.
Have you heard about rubber hose cryptoanalysis? The state can literally put a gun to your head and pull the trigger. Crypto is not "unconfiscateable", it's just digital. BTC also isn't "censorship resistant" as the censorious regime can still tie a wallet (and thus its transaction history) to your identity. Used a tumbler service to hide your tracks? Congratulations, now you're guilty of violating anti-money laundering laws, too.
Are you seriously suggesting TikTok is responsible for fentanyl overdose?

(TikTok is also available in France btw)
This is a quote from the article,

"I’m really excited that there will be 12-year-olds being introduced to programming by making Fortnite islands, using Verse and functional programming."

to which GP's comment is a valid response:

"It doesn't really look like the kind of thing I'd design for 12-year-olds to use?"

While one can agree or disagree, your response in that context is not correct:

"This reduces fortnite’s audience to 12 year olds."

Not at all. The discussion was about 12 year old players, not all players.
Controlling for income makes more sense.
Well, it's certainly not the lowest level token - to the degree we can talk about tokens in our brains in the first place.

We can talk and think about such things as the shape of the letters, which it would take a Herculean effort for GPT-like models to learn, since it gets letters in a form where that information has been stripped away.
And rightly so. The best car for the environment and for you and for the economy is the one you don't buy.

Subsidizing buying new cars is an incredibly misguided policy no matter what the new car is. The emissions an costs of production are nothing to scoff at unless you're an extremely heavy driver.
They suppose to publish a more performant crossplateform solution.

But yeah I won't blame them not to use xamarin/maui.
This also resonated strongly with me. It's sometimes very hard, but often the best solution is to bite your tongue and shut up.

When others do not do it and "overshout" in meetings, I often cringe. So I am trying to be extremely conscious of when that person is me.
Asking for a 6 months pause "to protect x" is just the excuse to further the interests of certain individuals.
No weights - then I don't care.

How? Apps will be created by US developers. Banning them would be infringing on their first amendment right. In addition no more excuses of TikTok doing something funny on user phones without their knowledge if the access is through third party apps.
