>Sometimes, quitting is just setting the stage for the next unscrupulous individual to come in and really muck things up where at least if you are still there, there's a brake, and a voice in the room

Then don't quit and do your job. Simply not doing the job you are paid to do isn't an option. There are parts of my job that I do that I don't agree with. Its called life.

>Those dead set on abusing power would prefer that all those principled people would just get out of the way to let them steamroll the populace or enact their designs.

This is rich. The NYPD is abusing their power. This isn't some valient cops sticking up for us. It's criminals who want to continue to act in a criminal manner.

>It isn't a right wing thing.

Yes it is

>Lets say every cop isn't fine with law X. You say you'll dismiss every cop who won't enforce it. You start doing it. You fire cops in droves. You'll very quickly start running out of candidates for the job, or you'll find yourself having to make concessions elsewhere. In fact, if it's a lot of cops you get rid of, you may find yourself short of any degree of law enforcement.

I mean yes, you are just describing how police hold the public hostage to avoid accountability. That doesn't make it okay for them to do it.
That's likely already the way most cases are "solved"

The two parties are essentially coalitions.

Anecdotally, a recurring theme in conversations I've had while living abroad is the desire to prune or consolidate some parties.

While both sides in the US have big tents, they are effective in whipping votes when things need to get done.

It also helps that detracting coalition partners can't torpedo their leadership. Historically, factions within a party, like Blue dog dems or Tea partiers, had to wait for an election to litigate their grievances.
Money did.

Why waste developer hours (meaning effort) if you can just scale the infra for a little cash? Do it in small enough increments and the increases only outweigh FTEs if you consider all scaling events and look at a long enough time scale.

Suddenly it takes way too much for way too little, but it cost half as many overpaid developers who can’t be arsed to performance.

Edit: in case that sounds like the opposite of intended, ggerganov and jart are the outliers, the exception.

First page I clicked was the Computer Science...Sudoku page. Really?: At each step of the recursion, you try out all of the available options, and as soon as one of them leads to the correct solution, you backtrack to the previous step to explore any remaining options there or to try a different option there.

There's arguably three kids of superintelligence: quality, speed, and collective. We definitely have #3 and some instances of #2.

You can outthink a human by thinking 1000x faster, or by having 1000 minds think on the same problem. There's a reason everything explodes when communication technology gets better. Imagine how long it would take to coordinate the fundamental pieces of a laptop computer by pigeon mail or horseback.
If you don't have any background in a topic, then how do you know it is getting it right? You don't know enough to know if you can trust any given response. Either you have to independently verify what it says with trusted sources, or you just throw your hands up and accept that you're getting taught by the digital equivalent of a once-brilliant professor who did too many hits of LSD.
Yeah that might be the ideal way to do it, but technically you could just append the new entries and new central directory without even removing the old one.

I'm not entirely sure what storage system that would make sense on, but presumably there was one back in the day.
Yes, but the point was about a "Linux distribution". Linux is a kernel, and a "Linux distribution" is generally understood as Linux + some fairly specific userland (generally GNU).

Of course it is a gradient, but Android goes pretty far away from the common understanding of "Linux distribution".
The largest LLaMA model at ~60 billion parameters is not quite as large as ChatGPT 3 in size, and probably not quite as well trained, but it's basically in the same class. Even the complete, not quantitized model, can be run with llama.cpp on ARM64 and x86_64 CPUs already, assuming you have enough RAM (128 GB?).
If you don't already have central AC, you likely use window units. Mini-splits can be good in these situations. They can be mounted on the exterior wall and the heat pump can be mounted in many different places.

I think it would be interesting if you periodically re-ask the same question maybe even to different AIs and keep all versions of answers accessible so its possible to see the evolution & comparison.
This was actually my thought process to postpone job searching among many other things after my physics PhD graduation last year. I had managed to make substantial savings during the Covid period. I didn’t find ethical to invest them in stocks and the interest rates for government bonds were not close to match the inflation. So I took a time off to allocate time for spending/investing, learning new skills and working on an open source project full time.

So far managed to install 5kW solar panel arrays at two family properties connecting that to the grid and figuring out a way to get reimbursed by government and so lowering final costs around 2500 euro for each installation. Now I have an excess electricity so I invested in a sawmill and hopefully soon will slice a timber for a joy of doing so. Being able to build my own sauna and get some wood for roofing could potentially break it even.

Also investing time and attention into my open source project gives me the basic fulfilment for purpose and creativity urgently needed after experiencing academia. Learning a lot of new stuff - HTTP, onion architecture, QML, public key cryptography and zero knowledge proofs - among many other things. While also being able to express myself creatively in software development than I ever could be in academia. Does not matter much if the developed idea fails, I just really want to know how.
That’s a steal!
I take the view that the European balance of power probably broke out into open conflict often because of hidden alliances that made it hard for states to correctly gauge the costs of engaging in such conflict.

In the field International Relations, there's lots of discussion around the stability (or instability) of a bipolar distribution of power. Your stance is closer to neorealists, mine is maybe closer to classical realists. Have fun reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(international_relati... and related links

But from a game theory perspective, having only two powers turns everything into a zero-sum game. I argue that leads to less cooperation and increased divisiveness. Not agreeing with Republicans means you must be a Democrat in their eyes. This "us versus them" mentality is somewhat tribal and leaves little room for nuance.

If I had a magic want, the US would have a 4 party system. Like a cartesian plane with civil liberalism <-> conservatism on one axis and economic liberalism <-> conservatism on the other axis
In some ways it might be worse. Here we had a party that promised to vote with one faction and partly thanks to it survived the election. A few months later they did a 180 and voted the other faction into government. Opinions aside, imagine voting for Sanders only for him to elect Trump or the other way around. With that said, two party version also comes with major flaws.
They wouldn't, but there is a way to figure some stuff out. A person with no experience in the subject, could hire someone else, who has some knowledge and knows how to find his way into the laws, a lot cheaper than a lawyer.

Then this person will generate a legal document, which is eighty to ninety percent already there. The next step is to correct that remaining 10% of the document and you are good to go. Instead of paying 1000$ to a lawyer for legal fees, you paid 50 or a 100 bucks and the quality is the same, if not better. Specialized tools for that purpose are created as well, ai-lawyer or something like that.
There are still ways to go wrong. Try writing a query which explores a graph from a starting node, building up a path from the start to each node as a string. Even using UNION you will get an infinite loop, because every visit to a node in the loop has a different path, so it makes a unique row.
beautiful UI!
Your example is so decoupled from reality that it's misleading. Most catastrophic problems in large systems aren't "I made a thing and it's buggy," or "I made a thing that steals SSNs." Most of them are some variation of "It used to work this way, but this upstream dependency changed in a way that we are ok with, and now it works a different way, and we have no visibility into what that may change for downstream dependencies, so hopefully they are aware of the same things we are and act accordingly." Bugs can come from many different people signing off on changes that are often, in isolation, fine.

Imagine if all buildings had to constantly be retrofitted to support a new structures on, below, inside of, around, and next to them, and every retrofit had a different engineer/architect/etc. No civil engineer would ever sign off on anything.
Imitation is not the same as reasoning, imagination, or abstraction. You're arguing that Einstein babbled his way to general relativity. There is a fundamental difference in what Einstein did as a baby and what he did when he was doing science, it's not just 20 years of more of the same but with a bigger data set. You're going to say that that what you mean is that we are at the beginning of AI development, but that is not an argument unless you can put forward a plausible theory of how you get from babbling to reason and abstraction.

In a certain sense we don't even know why humans haven't solved the Reimann hypothesis. There is a creative leap somewhere that we are missing. And we don't how to make it, or how to make it occur to us. But if reasoning is just the idiocy of mimicry then GPT should have solved it already.

ChatGPT is just a user interface over an underlying set of ai products that OpenAI has and that third parties use through an API to offer AI enhanced products. e.g. ChatGPT is banned but Bing and every other Microsoft product that integrates openai gpt model works perfectly. That move was just dumb and I suspect also political
The demo for this is great. It's the best non-corporation assistant I've used so far. I suspect most of the gains here relative to the Alpaca model might have to do with the fact that the ShareGPT data are full conversations. They allow for the assistant to respond to the earlier messages in a cohesive way. As opposed to Alpaca, the data was a single question and answer, so the model seems to lose context of earlier information. Also, the coding abilities of Vicuna are significantly improved relative to Alpaca, to the point that I began to suspect they might be calling out to OpenAI in the backed. Please, release model weights and finetuning training data.
Yeah it is a shame that it is has come to this but I do the same.
It’s interesting because I’ve been to many countries all over the world and of very different cultures and they all had police and prisons. Crazy that that are all just remnants of slave patrols I guess.
This further confirms a theory i have, which is that the size of one's platform/brand or media recognition is inversely correlated with quality of the investment advice that is being espoused. Big brand =worse advice.
Still, I'm not sure OP's train of thought holds. Mass matters because you need to spend energy to accelerate it and move it uphill. Regenerative breaking does not have 100% efficiency. Therefore, energy losses are proportional to weight. Also, isn't tire drag proportional to weight? That's a energy sink that can't be recovered by breaking.
Everything you said is correct however my arguement is it doesn't matter since we aren't a direct democracy.

Who you vote for is all that matters if blame or responsibility is being assigned. There may be a wide spectrum of views from Republican voters but they all vote Republican and who they vote for makes the decisions (noting that most vote with the party). Decisions on things like Abortion, drag shows, guns, and etc. This isn't just rhetoric, it's real changes that affect people.

So why should I care what a persons goals, intent, or actual views are over who they vote for?

"They call themselves republicans but they would vote for anyone that supports lowering taxes"

This goes along with what I just said. If someone votes for candidate because they want lower taxes (I was going to say greed but that's another debate) they are saying "I value lower taxes over whatever else that candidate said they support" right?

Because they have to accept responsibility whatever that politican says they would do. This is especially true if they are voting to reelect them

I'd expect what the CI/CD typically does is split into different parts of your process ?

I also had jobs where CI/CD were completely accessory, but in exchange we were doing a lot more work on our local machines and deploy pipelines.

In comparison I currently see repos where remote editing files straight from gitlab and merging the changes is enough to get everything shipped.

I see it as a difference in philosophy more than what's best or "professional".

Good, because equity is evil, unlike equality.
Well, yes, this was where I was going. The coalition is just formed before the election takes place. I live in a city with "nonpartisan" elections and I feel like it mostly just makes it difficult to understand what candidates in local elections even stand for.
That's the size on disk, my man. When you quantize it to a smaller float size you lose precision on the weights and so the model is smaller. Then here they `mmap` the file and it only needs 6 GiB of RAM!

It is kinda weird that Meta hasnt just copied Twitter while it is down on the mat. They could, they would…
Depends on the question. If you want to answer a question like “does change X increase engagement?” then a straight A/B test works. But if you want to answer one like “does change X increase engagement while (favoring/not favoring) group 1 over group 2?”, then an A/B test plus measuring groups 1 and 2 will not work without a control group, because without controls you don’t know if any changes to engagement for your measured groups are significant. There is some threshold of change to the engagement for the measured groups which is too small to be significant, and you should ignore results that only measure that noise.

I'm sure it wasn't you who did it, but cropping the example to remove some of the salient information is misleading, and it seems you were taken in. From the DOJ press release (duplicating the criminal complaint):

[...] The ad stated: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,” “Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925,” and “Vote for Hillary and be a part of history.” The fine print at the bottom of the deceptive image stated: “Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by Hillary For President 2016.” The tweet included the typed hashtag “#ImWithHer,” a slogan frequently used by Hillary Clinton. On or about and before Election Day 2016, at least 4,900 unique telephone numbers texted “Hillary” or some derivative to the 59925 text number, which had been used in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by Mackey and his co-conspirators.

Certainly, this was amusing to those involved in it, and the basic idea is defensible as a joke. But if you keep adding layer upon layer of detail to make your joke more plausible, while also demonstrating intent by making an electronic record of your conversations where you say that your goal is to get fewer people to vote, the excuse starts to wear thin.

Admittedly, the people who fell for this and were deceived into 'voting' by text or thinking that they were signing up for campaign messages may have been a bit stupid. But the whole point of putting advisories and disclaimers in the fine print is to provide people with a credible channel of information that's independent of the exhortation in an advertisement. It's like the difference between teasing someone for being naive and actively exploiting them.
Ahhh, yes, you have your preference, so you support regulations limiting the freedom of those like me who have a different one, rather than allowing the market to serve both segments.

Large parts of the country can be consistently below 0C for weeks at a time. Resistive heating cannot beat gas in that scenario.
Are we talking window unit plus radiator or just no cooling? For window + radiator heat pumps make less sense, but window unit heat pumps work well and are worth considering as a radiator replacement when the window unit is replaced.
Actually, my first thought was the previous owner, or perhaps Twitter itself. But I left the question open, since it doesn’t matter who.
I keep reading that, at least for air source heat pumps, it cuts into a lot of the efficiency advantages if it’s cycling a lot. Better to run at a low stage for a long time as opposed to a higher stage on and off.

Maybe I should just try and see what how it works for me though.
To be fair, this is how I often feel reading the news.

Why do you think they are not the same thing?

Waste is more than spent nuclear fuel, that is true. But the long-lived waste that people worry about is either spent nuclear fuel, or processed spent nuclear fuel.

Nuclear weapons are made with Plutonium-239, which is created by running a regular reactor that burns U-235 and U-238. U-238 can capture one neutron and become Pu-239, but that can capture one more neutron and become Pu-240, which is not good for weapons. So, to produce weapons-grade Pu-239 you need to run a reactor for very little (in technical terms the burnup is ultra low), take the Uranium rods out of the reactor and dissolve the in some chemicals and extract Pu-239 out of that liquid. The remaining liquid is the one that's being disposed at the WIPP facility.

Now having read about what went down rather then trying to put it together from comments, to me the best guess is the company / CEO was just going though the motions / churning and had one or two other people actually in mind from the onset.

I'd probably not use the term lie though, bullshitted, and blowing smoke in someone's face is more to the point in regard to what was more probable in that interview charade. The only other half reasonable assumption is there's a lot of politicking going on between various department levels, and the CEO knew fairly quickly George was a threat to whatever machinations where in the wind ... or was just too clever by half.

I believe the poster is talking more specifically, about the history and development of policing in the United States.

> but implying police and prisons were invented after 1865 surely takes the cake

I don't think they, nor anyone, is making this assertion.

There is a direct lineage from modern day police departments to slave patrols. If it helps to understand it, think about Jim Crow laws of the 19th and 20th centuries. This set of laws criminalized being Black and were enforced by police.
