If you have one that corresponds to each of the network devices that show up in ip, that is unusual in my ~15y of Linux experience. The other half of the argument above is that even when such devices exist there is a lot of configuration for the device that uses ioctl to put it in the correct mode. Very little of the code treats that device as something to read from or write to.

What does this refer to: cartpoll demo famously tripped up derivative based reinforcement learning

The phrase "cartpole demo famously tripped up derivative-based reinforcement learning" is likely referring to a classic problem in the field of reinforcement learning, which involves balancing a pole on a cart. The pole is attached to the cart via a hinge, and the goal is to keep the pole upright by moving the cart left or right in response to its angle. This problem is often used as a benchmark for testing reinforcement learning algorithms.

The phrase suggests that derivative-based reinforcement learning algorithms, which rely on computing gradients of a function with respect to its parameters, were not successful at solving this problem. This could be due to the fact that the problem is highly non-linear and requires precise control, which may be difficult to achieve with gradient-based methods.

No, worries there will be one LLM that is forced to cohere to your political bias sooner or later.
Jesus christ. Can you corroborate that or add any... checkable details to that in any way? I was at that burn and that was really fucked up.
Indeed, & an artificial uniformity of LLMs, and thought, if everyone is cribbing each others' outputs could be a concern.

But before its concern about a monoculture, the article 1st points out that mere prediction-training (on another model's outputs or fresh data) can't truly match RLHF in instilling some much-desired behaviors.

And that presents a bit of a tension with the article's 2nd concern: if mere output-mimicking *can't* match more-sophisticated training, then it can't really create the concerning uniformity, either.

And maybe: the dose makes the poison. A little cribbing might be a beneficial partial accelerator for smaller teams & newer projects, even if a lot is ineffective (at ever fully replicating OpenAI model behaviors), or deleterious (if effective and also overdone).

So the article isn't really a strong case for not trying this at all – just for keeping the potential limits & downsides in mind, in any experiments with this technique.
A non-profit lowering the amount of capital, labor and time it needs to meet users' needs during an emergency is an example of better benefits users can reap from being able to run PWAs versus being artificially limited from doing so by their phones' manufacturer.
By the way, the way farmers destroyed McDonalds in France in the 2000's created a wake up call for the company to adapt its offers to the local markets. Afterwards France was the fastest growing market and the "recipe" was then exported all over the world. This really interesting to read about it.
Certain things, like using a database instead of a flat file when search is needed, or going with a linear algorithm instead of quadratic, are hard to do wrong.

So you filter out the blood cells (45% of volume), toss the plasma (55% of volume) and return blood cells + clean plasma. Any substances the plasma are gone. So this is useful to the extent that the substances you care about are free in plasma. At least in the case of PFAS ("forever chemicals") that seems to be the case, see "Effect of Plasma and Blood Donations on Levels of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Firefighters in Australia", which found that 52 weeks of plasma donation reduced PFAS blood levels by ~30%. This was more effective than blood donation, which reduced levels by 10% and 0% depending on the specific substances you look at.

Google maps shows 29 min by car and 46 min by transit from HND to Skytree (these are few things I know in Tokyo, 5 hours by foot, btw) so I would not trust something you read on Reddit, much less in a community called literally "fuckcars", seems that it might be exaggerating to support its bias.

Same with Siena (I picked just random points "Hotel Athena" and "Farmacia Ravacciano" as they were highlighted on the maps) 17 mins by car, 26 mins by transit (though walking is faster than transit and biking is faster than car, apparently you cannot drive through the city, very progressive).
I also use Kagi and I can confirm that it’s great. I am using Google now maybe still several times a week and most of the time the results are not even better.

They are mistaken. In Synology DSM you create a "pool" which is LVM-based under the hood, then inside the pool you can add btrfs & ext4 "volumes" that coexist inside the pool. They would need to let you create a btrfs pool instead if they were doing btrfs on bare drives.

45 USD per month is more than what most people in advanced countries pay for their mobile phone service or broadband connection. Frankly, it's crazy to me.

But two disparate people interested in the plastique fantastique eschewed conjecture in favor of hard data, and found that LEGO prices scale linearly with piece count, and that on average, prices of sets have actually remained constant over the last couple of decades.

Not saying you're wrong, but they grandfathered me on the $10/mo plan with the new pricing changes, and that would cover your usage. I think on the new plans 30 searches a day would come out to $13/month.

I know it may sound like a lot (and definitely is a lot for some folks), but when I think about it as literally being the window to a huge amount of knowledge I take in, the fact that it's way less than Adobe products, and similar to things like GitHub, Figma, Notion, Airtable, etc. feels pretty reasonable.
Not the OP but I just checked my 3 months history and I'm at 800, 469, and 682 searches on DuckDuckGo and 466, 535, and 482 on Google. I feel like I'm a heavy search engine user and I'd have guessed more than this.

I'm considering paying for Kagi but the price seems a bit high, especially considering that I replaced some of my searches with ChatGPT and I pay much less for using the API of OpenAI. But maybe their API price is not sustainable.

For $5 or $10 per month I'd prefer to self-host a search engine and a language model on a server I own.
Ok yes. I've done that actually. Pretty sure I used that pdf (or similar, although I think the one I used was marked confidential). But a pdf from 2002 tha is hosted from a university, not the vendor, isn't really up to the standard of public documentation. It wouldn't be so bad if their vendor drivers had comments or even sensible names for values when they frob the hardware, but it's just hex values with no explanations.

Spam is already easily generated so AI won't change that.

Misinformation and manipulation is based on a small number of posts being shared and upvoted en masse, so AI won't help there.

However, social hacking and fraud involving actual dialogues with people is currently labour intensive and low yield. AI will definitely enable more of those attacks to happen automatically; and conversely, also help anti-fraud companies create puppet accounts to waste the fraudster's time, and thus the game of cat and mouse continues.

Except that fossil fuels aren't limited to capitalist countries. Even then accounting future potential deaths to an economic system is a bit meaningless compared to prior concrete and repeated history.

Much less there's no way we can accurately predict the death toll of something a century out -- in the 1960-70's it was "obvious" there would be billions dying of starvation. We could crack fusion power in a decade and use direct CO2 capture to reverse CO2 levels to pre-1850's level.
Code review is typically based on a premise that the person submitting the change is acting in good faith. This is the only reason it works, because otherwise it’s difficult to review them sufficiently. App review must consider developers to be potentially hostile.
My guess: the cart pole is an inverted pendulum, and requires multiple left-right-swing-up movements to bring it from the “hanging” position to the “standing” position.
Finding this action sequence using gradients of “where is the tip” vs “where should it be” is very hard, as swinging the pendulum to the left and right goes against the gradient.

Instead, using stochastic gradient approximations (policy gradient method such as proximal policy optimization) might be better suited to solving these kinds of problems. Effectively, they do not compute the exact gradient locally, but rather kind of a global approximation by trying out random sequences of actions and determining which of them are closest to the desired outcome.

Hence, stochastic gradient approximations might be considered some kind of hybrid between greedy local optimization (such as following the exact gradient) and global optimization.
I had that experience with the Robert Sapolsky lectures on Human Behavioral Biology.

My take away is that everyone is probably interested in everything, only we let the messenger kill the message. By let, we seem to have a messed up pathology where we think they are the same, so much so that it is a huge cognitive flaw, easily used for sabotage.
Do the paid search results also include paid adverts? If not, I can understand why MSFT raised the prices so much. The initial costs were probably way too low, but they wanted to gauge market interest. After finding firm interest, raise the prices to ensure that no one will use the API to build their own search engine without adverts! The people who work on Bing must be very expensive. Not to mention hardware/network costs.
$25 per month for a service you use every day. Sounds fair.

If you save 1-2 hours per month not having to use a search engine that tries to trip you, that's a net win.

However, personally I use Google with a browser plugin that lets me hide unwanted results, and I find it works quite well.

Although I don't do much elaborate searching using operators etc.

> Loading more pages count as new search?

I have not ever loaded a new page with Kagi.

I generally need fewer searches than with other search engines, between their general features, and customized ranking, they are just that much better.

That said, I’m also in the early adopter plan ($10 for 1000 searches) which is enough for me (unlike the non-early one, as I sometimes go over 700 searches).
Presumably you're talking about the claw grip? Didn't realize that was the new default. Orthopedic specialists, take note.
I'm approximately in the 900-1100/month range.

Based on their existing pricing at the $10 plan, that's 700 searches plus up to 400 searches at 15c / search.

Total is ~$16 / month depending on how many searches I make. The unlimited plan is appealing, but I'm convinced paying something in the range of $16-$25 a month ($192 - $300 / year, or $163 - $255 / year with their 15% annual discount) is still a steep price.

Sure - search is valuable, and ~$160 / year could work for me, but the variable nature of the cost is off-putting. Part of the issue is the per-search unit pricing: why can't I pay up-front like in the unlimited plan for a whole year, at the benefit of a slight discount? As someone who does pay for SaaS plans and is willing, I'm not excited about surprise monthly bills as an individual user.

My advice to Kagi would be to find a way to do annual billing without resorting to such fine-grained unit pricing. Charge per every 100 searches instead of 15c/search (e.g. charge $1.25 for 100 /extra/ searches on top of whatever plan I'm on), and have a rollover period (e.g. two months) if I purchase an extra 100 searches but only use e.g. 20 of them.

This kind of billing (annual discount for all plans + broader unit pricing) would reduce the price shock and anxiety of worrying about how much a single search costs.

I think Kagi can be an interesting product, and even one I probably will pay for, but the amount of thought into their current pricing seems naive from my view...
> His $80k Tesla was $2M cheaper than a Bugatti Veyron. Clearly Tesla's are way cheaper than gas cars.

Silly comparisons are fun I suppose, but for someone who is poor ultimately the only comparison that matters is how much will it cost this year.

The cheapest non-salvage Tesla I see on craigslist right now is 30K. I also see tons of 2K-4K Honda/Toyota/Mazda cars that will give someone plenty of low-cost miles for years to come. It is not realistic to think a poor person will buy a 30K car on the hope that in a few decades the operating costs will break even and eventually save them money.
