That's also an interesting one, but I think I found it, but it's a little different from what I remembered because it's not just the scientific notation that helps but more so the addition of positional tokens:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.13019

The essence of it from the abstract:

". In particular, the model fails to learn addition of five-digit numbers when
using subwords (e.g., “32”), and it struggles to learn with character-level representations (e.g., “3 2”). By introducing position tokens (e.g., “3 10e1 2”), the model learns to accurately add and subtract numbers up to 60 digits. We conclude
that modern pretrained language models can easily learn arithmetic from very
few examples, as long as we use the proper surface representation."

Portobello mushroom is certainly wrong, I also would have included color for salmon but that one is more up for debate I think. I think some humans would probably write the same categorizations though.

You seem to underestimate the amount of modding that vanilla Minecraft servers have, such as Wynncraft or Hypixel Skyblock. They turn Minecraft into a completely different game and most of the changes are server side.

Also, Fabric and Forge are not modding APIs. They sometimes provide extra APIs on top of the base game to make mod compatibility easier, but you are very much supposed to just mess around with the Minecraft codebase directly and directly reference Mojang classes in your code. If all you want to do is add a new block in Fabric you don't touch any Fabric API.

Pretty much vanilla, but it depends on the component.

For components that need reactivity and have frequent renders, I use lit-html for rendering on a property setter change.

I mix and match components from different frameworks, I use vaadin-router, but sometimes include lightweight components from other systems too (ionic, shoelace, mwc, etc...).

Mostly though, it's just light-dom vanilla Web components with bootstrap (or similar) for base styles.

I am really enjoying tailscale (even though I have a long standing issue with their log level!)

I even pay for their service as a business!

However their limits on the number of people named in ACLs seems far too low, if anyone from tailscale is reading, it would be great if ACL limits scaled somewhat with seats, because as it stands we get significantly less secure as we grow.

Theres also a feature for autogroups which would be cool, but seems not fully explored.

I know the big features are shiny and fun and drive a lot of attention to the product, but I hope it doesnt get in the way of being, fundamentally, a solid VPN solution.
The wrong way to think about bribery is as a calculated payoff. Instead it's a spur of the moment thing.

You are headed home, tickets already paid for, and then someone asks if you want to make a quick $200 real easy.

This isn't always how it goes down, but you can imagine how an impulsive person may over react to a monetary reward and thus accept very little compensation. If you run the risk assessment, you aren't going to take the deal!
I assume you're talking about monthly churn. But I thought an industry average was higher churn than that.

You can find some comparisons and evaluation datasets/tasks here: https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html

For higher quality ones, just take the bigger/slower models in the SentenceTransformers library

> I can see the value of APIs for a growing company that is trying to establish itself, but there must be a line somewhere. I suspect a large amount of API support over the last decade has been driven by brand development and recruiting.

It brought INSANE value to Twitter in it's early days.

The API allowed a client to be written for every platform around by domain experts way before the Twitter team could get to them. They got Apple to integrate it natively on iOS 5. That's right, the OS had built-in support for Twitter. You didn't need to install an app.

It's one of the things that cemented Twitter's presence in the social media's landscape.
I'd love to live in an AI powered utopia. Where everybody just does what they find valuable, regardless of whether there's someone willing to pay money for it, or whether an AI could do it more effectively or efficiently. By following our passions we could continue to make truly beneficial advancements, and all live enjoyable lifes.

But I'm pessimistic about it. If we preserve the status quo where everyone needs to do something somebody else is willing to pay for - which I assume - we're setting up a dystopian tragedy of the commons where only those doing things nobody else wants to do - be it for moral concerns, dangers or tediousness - make a decent living.

I don't see how we can change that trajectory with our current economic systems, and I don't see us changing those any time soon. But maybe it just has to get worse before it gets better.

I _do_ think swift coordinated global efforts in lawmaking could contain this problem long enough for us to be able to change our systems slowly. It might feel idiotic to not be able to use technology available to us. But I also can't kick my neighbour's door down and take his TV, even though I want it and it'd be technically easy to do.
At a coarse level, both are affected by information theory, so some parts may look vaguely similar. Sure, it’s plausible you’d find related solutions, especially if you really squint.

But it’s like trying to explain how atoms work using a solar system analogy. It might help with the really easy stuff, maybe? (orbitals) But sticking with it makes going any deeper pretty confusing.
Well when you put it like that, it truly does sound like an absolutely delicious problem to tackle.
My whole point is that losing control (the Terminator scenario) isn't what we should realistically fear. AI completely under control but following the orders of a ruthless authoritarian regime is really, really bad. We don't need to have faith in some hypothetical godlike paperclip maximizer AI to see that.
Why would the DoJ share that someone had a medical problem? People could become sympathetic. Better to focus the public interest on the greed and abuse of office aspects.
I haven't seen the thread of the owner that successfuly diagnosed the dog using GPT-4. That's incredible! Unfortunately the author is too much of a pessimist and had to come up with the "what if it was wrong?". Well, if it was wrong then the test would have said so. Duh.
Faiss is a wonderful vector search library - in particular, the ability to do hybrid indexes e.g. IVF-PQ, IVF-SQ is great. We (https://milvus.io) use it as one of the indexing options (along with Annoy, Nmslib, and DiskANN) to power our vector database.
But the human visual system is insensitive to high resolution yb and red/green information so you can essentially down sample those layers to almost nothing before you even start. That's a fundamental trick which is also used in another way by jpeg but presumably not by this RGB algorithm.

It means that MFN will likely convert very fast, and these 375k will cost you more dilution than you might want otherwise. Or you have to play very fancy sheningans convincing other investors who wanted to be early to wait, just to postpone it and decrease its dilution.
They're right to call it out as an insidious olive branch, but the alternative is damning for them. Journalists and news orgs aren't taken seriously on Mastodon and many instances outright ignore them. Moving to another for-profit social media just puts your chips on a different bet. Twitter may be the last place where they can find meaningful traction, and now it's just as money-grubbing as they are. Game, set and match.
Hats off to the guy who set up that site. So effective, so simple.
fundamentally, something has to be punching NAT somehow, so they're probably taking the traffic on their own servers and relaying it to your machine via the tailnet.

> But there's no reason that we should prefer C's syntactic decisions for assignment and equality operators in a non-C language.

Yes there is - because almost every language uses the same convention, and it's a totally reasonable one. You have to have a really good reason to go against that and I don't see one.

> Go itself deviated from them

Go didn't deviate from the C convention. It just added an extra shorthand operator to simultaneously declare and initialise variables. The meanings of `=` and `==` are the same in Go as in C.

> or "clearly insane" to you

I wasn't saying the use of `=` for equality is clearly insane. `[` is clearly insane for other reasons.

and while the refinements in movement finess and control are obviously a needed thing, out of ignorance, what other abilities will this allow?

I assume that it will allow for a much more finessed touch control of hands/digits, and, coupled with sensors, as they evolve, be able for much more fine crafts - such as embroidery?

You are describing a moat, and it is indeed important. I’ll step up on the soapbox for a moment…

A moat can be unique technology, an exclusive licensing agreement, an exclusive IP (patent or otherwise), very unique experience or insight, an exclusive geographic location, a very unique business model, a very unique skill and/or reputation, etc.

Follow the leader seems like a plan, but it’s probably not a good plan unless you have tons of money to spend on marketing and sales.

In my previous home city, someone opened a bake shop with coffee that was targeted at the growing Korean population. It was unique: Korean pastries, Korean friendly faces, great coffee, etc. They probably invested $100k in opening this shop. It became very popular. Then, in about nine months, five more copycat shops opened up within a mile or two of this store. Result: business went way down for all of them. They all lost revenue, and they all invested a lot of money.

Software is prone to this kind of copycat behavior. The thinking goes like one of these two sequences:

1. People like software—>I write software—->People like [note apps, for example]—>I can write a note app in a week—->I’ll start a SaaS business

2. I write software—->I think [fill in the blank] is cool—>I will write an app for [that] in a week—->I’ll start a SaaS business

Writing software is not a differentiator. It’s not a shortcut to big bucks. It’s not a solution in itself. It’s just a tool. Anything you can write in a week (or 3 months) can be done by 100,000 other people—-in a week (or 3 months).

You have to start with a problem, defined by a large group of people, that you have the experience and expertise to solve in a unique and valuable way. Software may be part of that solution, but it’s just a fraction of the whole pie. You need to think about the whole solution—-and the moat. It may take 5 to 10 years to develop your moat. Be patient and be observant.

Good luck.

Even if 90% of the people caught are Americans, if the number of Americans actually doing the smuggling outnumber non-Americans 20x, then that means they're lower-risk.

In-Ear, Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring
I'm very happy to share my latest publication with Prof. Danilo Mandic, "An In-Ear PPG-Based Blood Glucose Monitor: A Proof-of-Concept Study"!

This research explores, for the first time, the ear canal as a potential site for non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. The in-ear sensor uses photoplethysmography (PPG) in combination with machine learning to estimate blood glucose levels without the need for painful fingersticks or invasive devices.

My aim is to make diabetes management easier, more convenient, and less expensive for millions of people around the world, paving the way for earlier diagnosis and enhanced treatment of diabetes.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this new approach to blood glucose monitoring. Let's discuss!

Unless you've been living under a rock, I don't really understand how. ChatGPT has literally dominated tech headlines, HN posts, and Twitter chatter for at least a month now.
> You have the misconception that an AI system has to achieve anthropomorphic qualities to become dangerous.

More than that. It has to achieve super-human abilities.[1] And it might also need to become self-improving, because how else could it spiral out of control, as the hysterics often complain about? (Remember: human intelligence is not self-improving.) It also needs to gain an embodiment that reaches further than server rooms. How does it do that? I guess it social-engineers the humans and then… Some extra steps? And then it gets more and more spooky.

This is more science fiction than technology.

[1] Or else it is no more dangerous than a human, and thus irrational to worry about (relative to what humans do to each other on a daily basis).

> ML algorithms are goal-oriented, they are optimized to maximize a specific goal.

The Paper Clip Machine. I’m more worried about the Profit Making Machine, Capitalism, since it is doing real harm today and not potentially next month/next year/next decade. (Oh yeah, those Paper Clip Machine philosophers kind of missed the last two hundred years of the real-life Paper Clip Machine… but what would the handmaidens of such a monstrosity have against that, to be fair.)

Ah, that's fair, I knew lots of datapacks used custom entities but didn't realize that custom blocks were entirely impossible. I agree it seems like a strange limitation. I guess the biggest issue is that while custom blocks are easy to make, custom block behaviors are much more complicated to implement outside of code compared to custom entity behaviors, which are much more customizable as a tradeoff for being much less performant.
Yes. This is exactly the problem. Nice phrasing.

I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation basic course a very long time ago. One of the instructors brought his Honda Goldwing to the course just to help us get over the fear of falling over by showing that even a massive heavy motorcycle could go through all the tight turns without any problem.

It's made by few enough people that it is possible none of them have ever accepted the OpenAI terms of service, in which case there is no problem.

Cam Cole is my favorite in the "one man band" niche. He doesn't use that many instruments, and maybe isn't the most talented of the lot technically. But he's one of the few where I liked the songs just for the song itself, without caring it was a one-man-band setup. https://youtu.be/XnHT1nGJt78
interesting -- an old man that built Casinos and lived in .. Sparks.. had a son who was a good-enough skier and definitely local to Tahoe in the 80s. The son had an "ad agency" which turned out to be a front for this activity. "You have to make a thousand a day" he was rumored to say.. that means a thousand in your pocket each day in good times, or just cash moving when things are slow. What you say about Escobar and local flights, that fits. Miami Vice was a TV show at that time, not entirely fictional!
This is exactly what concerns me...that, and that others will have the non-crippled version.
Great research. Obviously I was not being 100% literal when I said we don't have green blackboards (heh) in the UK. I'm sure somewhere someone has one, but I've literally never seen a single one so they must be exceedingly rare.

Drinking in public should probably be legal though. Well, maybe not on the bus.

It's just so much more noisy and garbage filled. Maybe I was in the minority, but I used it mostly to follow some bands/artists/game designers and keep up with their projects - I rarely engaged with the twitter userbase in general and it feels like that's what is being amplified and it's a lot of noise, toxic speculation, and useless opinions.

I don’t live in Oregon but complaints here about drug use on transit—and antisocial activity in general—have also increased sharply since the beginning of the pandemic.
