Have you checked on the state of AI in China lately? It might be enlightening if you think there's some sort of arms race going on, or anything even close to that.

Also, if you follow through your logic you are arguing for abolishing all laws in the US that constrain US companies if some other countries can ignore these laws and get the upper hand. Keep in mind that these laws (like intellectual property, copyright, patents) is the reason US has innovated so much in the first place

I use Docker Compose and spin up multiple containerized microservices locally. How slow can it be? It would be sad to buy quite an expensive laptop and downgrade development experience although in just one aspect :)
My smartphone does not have an ethernet port. :)

My house came wired for cat5 (the original cat5!) but modern wifi is a lot faster than 100mbps, so I just use wifi for everything.

Latency is higher, but so is the speed.

Also I only own 1 desktop that has an ethernet port, and I haven't plugged the desktop in for 2 years.

I would actually like to have the TV hooked up to ethernet, since its wifi chip crashes every few days and I have to power cycle wifi in settings, but whoever wired the house for cat5 didn't install ports anywhere, although they did install a large patch panel in the basement, but I have better things to do than crimp a bunch of wires to fix one flaky connection.
Circumstances: I have long COVID and can't exercise much without a PEMS crash; I also need whatever extra sleep I can get. I used to always get up well before work and go for a long walk in my neighborhood, sometimes up to 4 miles.

After a bad night's sleep where my 7 kids keep me awake until about somewhere between 1:30 and 2:15am, having spent the last part of my night's sleep with a pillow over my head which keeps out some of the light but makes my tinnitus more noticeable, and having been overheated all night since our ceiling fan blew out in recent power surge/outage along with most of our other appliances, wake up about 9:15, 15 minutes before alarm at 9:30. (I recently stupidly set the alarm to birdsong, which means I wound up training my brain to wake me up prematurely at 6:15 which is when the birds in my backyard starting making noise.)

Sync my low-end fitness tracker with the app on my phone and see what it shows me about my night's sleep. Look sadly at the "5 hr 51 min" and sleep score of 70 (that's today, it's usually better than that, but I rarely break 80), and resolve yet again to try getting everyone to bed earlier. (Toddlers generally can't be reasoned with about this).

Bathe for 10-25 minutes depending on necessity and whether I need to wash my hair; during the winter I skip this on some days. Half-fill my big steel mug with brewed coffee from our extremely basic coffee maker and top it off with water. Sit at the kitchen table and drink the whole mug, taking seven enzyme pills (serrapeptase and nattokinase), which seems to help with my COVID fingers and toes - pain, numbness, burning. Get to my desk at 9:55 and boot up my work computer which probably underwent a forced reboot against my will during the night to apply Windows updates.

I work fully-remote, and my laptop is managed by my employer's I.T. dept. Most of my team is in Mountain or Pacific time, so my 10am is their 7 or 8am. At 10am Eastern time we have our morning standup meeting. We're supposed to turn on our cameras so I wind up distracted by my appearance in part because I have a fair amount of body dysmorphia. Feel somewhat comforted by the fact that the people who got up at 7am their time are also not overjoyed to be on camera. Get through the first meeting and breathe a sigh of relief when the mercifully short meeting is over.

The article is not about populism at all.
I have used google analytics, clarity, and fathom for work, and self-hosted matomo for personal projects. Clarity was the worst in terms of traffic analytics. It's more of a poor hotjar alternative than anything.
The issue is of course a lot more complex than I can summarise in a brief comment. It's a 500 page book (though well worth reading). But he describes a couple of experiments, including some with babies: show a baby two puppets, one who is mean and one who is nice, and they'll prefer the nice one. But show them two puppets, one who share the same taste in food but is mean, and another who is nice but doesn't share the same taste, and they'll prefer the mean one.

He includes observations that groups of terrorists of various kinds are often very close to each other, soldiers fight harder and more effectively against an enemy if they have a strong sense of camaraderie. Empathy makes us closer to some, but more distant from the rest.

The book quotes a professor Bloom who is against empathy for that reason. A colleague of his showed that when people are encouraged to empathise with one mortally ill patient, they're more likely to support preferential treatment for that one patient even if it comes at the cost of other patients who are just as ill and in need of treatment.

I wonder if the same is true with Trump supporters: they oppose his indictment because they empathise with him, but they want Hillary Clinton locked up because they don't empathise with her. They believe Trump understands them and cares about them, even in the face of evidence to the contrary. It's not that they're heartless people who have chosen evil, it's that they've been blinded by the limited focus of their empathy. But this is my own speculation, not Bregman's. And I certainly don't pretend to understand it.
I read each line like a lisp expression: from the end to the beginning. Recursion tickles my brain!
Most meals include at least one alcoholic drink as well as soft drinks. Anything not included can be purchased a la carte and paid directly to the restaurant. A couple of dinners have been BYOB if the venue doesn't have a license and there's no fees for that.

In parliamentary styles, practicing opening speeches is definitely at the top of the list in terms of effective drills. So much hinges on getting off on the correct foot.

In other formats the first 2-4 speeches are verbatim pre-written, either entirely or as composable blocks. so you want to make sure those blocks can be chosen correctly and delivered efficiently but practicing beyond that point is not a huge help.

But you can instead drill specific skills. I have a large pile of “10 minute round” templates that I specialize to each topic for the students. Each focuses on only a specific skill and usually in the second constructive or rebutttal phase (eg, answering a link turn). Typically students who complete those drills a few times each and participate in a few scrimmages will make it to out rounds at their first novice tournament.
Is there any evidence of mass compliance with these regulations? It seems basically impossible to enforce in a humane and fair way. Such laws will be used to prosecute political minorities if they are enforced at all.
That is obviously going to happen in mainland China specially when it may affect the CCP's plans in some way (i.e. even "morally" in the case of Xi Jinping deepfakes).

Are they going to enforce it for products/services sold overseas? I'm not so sure, not until I see watermarks in Tiktok's content.
Just an internet stranger here, but my (real) wife probably wouldn't be too happy if it was me doing this. This is emotional porn, which could be just as damaging as (real) porn for a marriage. I'd personally tread lightly in this area, or better yet get out of the water altogether.
So if I create a movie about cyber pangolin, a gory half human half pangolin cyborg fighting for Justice in a post bio-punk world where people are swapping their organs out on a daily basis due to immuno suppressant immunity; and I used a model that saw Aladdin, you think Disney could successfully sue Cyber Pangolin for violating the copyright of Aladdin?

Against Explanations
> Until the day we stop requiring humans to pre-sort garbage, we cannot actually get serious about recycling.

I wonder if if would be more economical to have robots to pre-sort locally, before it enters the stream? Because if I had a big bucket o' refuse that a local robot would then check the /5\ codes or whatever and sort locally, it would have up to 6 days to do that and thus wouldn't have any hard realtime requirements

Failure scenarios are always present, as is keeping the poor thing clean, but it could still end up being more economical IF the streams really are a source of value, and not -- as I am increasingly starting to believe -- just a sham by the plastics industry to make one think recycling exists
The whole website is playful as fuck.

i'm not saying LLM are modeling linguistics in any way lol. i only meant that there's some kind of phenomena related to scaling+attention that produces good enough result for most "human language stuff", which is kind of unexpected (i mean everyine knows that if you build a large enough model you can teach it any function, but cmon it is architecture+scaling that made it possibile not scaling alone). Moreover, the architectures used, from attention layer, even LSTM for that matter are not completely understood, are being used because "they works" just as in the old days of electromagnetism the empiral laws "just worked" for their usage.

btw, in other languages i guess it is decent although it depends on which language, at least gpt4.
Nice article, and this is obviously a very specific nitpick from a single point in the article, but ...

> ls --full-time | cut -d' ' -f6,7 # WRONG

> If two “fields” have different lengths, ls will add spaces to the name of the smaller one to make the two line up, which will break cut -d' '. And in fact you can’t solve this at all with ls, you have to write stat -c %w. Text streams don’t compose.

I mean, ok, I get the point how he's saying Powershell has 'objects', but the example is super-contrived. All it takes to fix the offending 'padding spaces' is to remove them.

ls --full-time | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f6-7

Moreover, that's not even "bash" you're comparing against, but 'coreutils'. If you really wanted to grab the output of 'ls' with pure bash then you'd probably go with something like this instead:

ls --full-time | while read -r FIELD{1..8}; do echo "$FIELD6 $FIELD7"; done

which isn't exactly complicated either.

Otherwise, if the gripe is about the command you're using not being field based, then go ahead and use one that is, on data that supports it. This isn't exactly a language issue.

Case in point, if 'stat' is the right command to get that "field" for that "object type", then there you go. Nagging that if you don't use the right tool for the job will leave you with having to work around things, is not exactly the environment's fault.

Also, text streams absolutely do compose. It's just that the underlying type will always be a text stream. But composability is 100% the reason behind this in the first place.
> Impressive! What do you think it is that you do that allows you to compete with VirusTotal, and even free tools like Jotti?

Thanks and good question. We don't really compete with virus total since it's more of a research tool and, for a while, their terms explicitly prohibited commercial use (but I think that has changed). Jotti is a similar thing, more of a research tool than a high performance API you can use to build commercial products on.

> Presumably you're now using commercial AV tools, rather than Clam? Did you have to get some kind of special license from them to use it like this?

Yeah the product has expended a bunch over the years and we use multiple detection engines [2] to catch all kinds of unsafe content. But you are right, we do license a commercial AV engine to act as a backup to our own to ensure best possible detection rates. The licensing process warrants a blog post of its own since it's not what I would call easy.

Maybe someday, but not at this point.

I'd love to support other languages too, but at this point it isn't very feasible. I'm just a single man, and this is just a side project, so I simply don't have the resources to even do everything that I want to do with Japanese (and there's still so much more I want to add/improve!), never mind branching out into other languages.

> Khosrowshahi, the leader of a $63 billion company, admitted in the article he’d never used Uber as a driver until recently. And that, once he did, he found significant flaws. Fixing these issues was admirable, but waiting until nearly six years into his tenure to tackle them was unmissable.

This is really baffling. I really don't understand how these CEOs can lose contact with their main product when it's so easy to do otherwise.

Uber has always been a ticking time bomb of fake innovation. Disrupt a market by artificially making a product or service cheaper, then raise prices. It's about time the bubble bursts.
Assuming a race to the bottom, eventually the content won't sell because people will just generate it for themselves.
It's definitely vendor lockin. Sometimes the straightforward answer really is the right one.

As you said, Ryboi and Mikwaukee have the same owner, along with Ridgid [0]. They could have easily made batteries work across brands, and even added caveats to their marketing that your Milwaukee tools won't have full performance with Ryobi batteries (etc). But they didn't - because once someone buys into an ecosystem they get a strong affinity to continue buying in, rather than saving money and buying a less expensive tool that they need less. Market decommodification generally increases margins.

The main draw for the lockin, at least in my experience, is wanting a good supply of batteries to not run out in the middle of something. Whereas if I had many different color tools and one or two batteries for each color, then I'd have to be much more attentive to keeping them charged.

Personally I bought into Dewalt - the trigger on their driver felt smoother. Then Dewalt 60V - the tool I wanted had good reviews and I can use the batteries in 20V tools for longer yard work, etc. My one deviation has been the Ryobi powered PEX cincher, for which Dewalt or anybody else didn't seem to have a comparable one. I bought it as a bare tool and added a Dewalt->Ryobi battery adapter. Occasionally I'll see more Ryobi stuff at great prices and be tempted, but I ask myself if I really need it, given that it's probably "less powerful" (half marketing, half truth) and the balance would be off (due to the adapter). Meanwhile a sale on a Dewalt tool that will make my life easier feels like a no brainer, due to already having the "proper" batteries.

The main churn-gimmick I've managed to resist is buying cordless tools when corded ones suffice for the type of job. Like if I'm needing a palm sander, I'm probably working on a longer term project and it makes sense to run an extension cord, rather than needing to occasionally do a few minutes of sanding at a time. Although I admit that calculus might be different if I didn't literally have more corded power tools than I know what to do with.

Correct, the lunar soil is itself radioactive because it's subjected to neutron radiation. What's more, the radioactivity of lunar soil increases with depth; the Apollo 17 Lunar Neutron Probe Experiment found that the radioactivity peaks at about 1 meter under the surface. I believe this is because the lunar soil moderates the incoming high energy neutrons (thermal neutrons are more likely to be absorbed.) This effect means that careful planning would be required when shielding a Moon colony. If you just haphazardly bulldoze lunar soil onto your habitat, you could easily make your problem worse.

Thank you this helps! Being guided to the “right” answer through questions just feels really inefficient to me. Tell me your answer and let me ask the questions if I don’t understand feels more direct. Better yet, give me the answer and tell me to research why in my own.
That insight was the motivation for my question: If creativity by human beings requires them "to ignore conceptual barriers (esp. social barriers)," as you write, won't creativity by AI require it to do so as well?

What I did not expect to see is that there's already evidence that LLMs get less creative when you try to make them safer!

I'm not sure if it's intentional, but your example about a 6 Ah battery being worse than a 5 Ah battery seems to apply to Ryobi's 40 volt line, due to using cells from inferior brands[1]*. In this case however the inferior 6 amp hour (10s3p) battery is physically larger than the 5 amp hour (10s2p) and conveniently does not fit into some of the higher drain tools in this line, such as their chainsaw.

A potential solution to this problem is that companies be required to make the datasheet for the cells in their battery packs available to consumers. Presently I am not sure if there's a way to find out what cells a pack is made from except by taking it apart, which both voids the warranty and can be dangerous if you aren't careful.
