Completely false straw man post.

1. Most of the data cited stops around 2010, ignoring the huge progress that checkpoint inhibitors and cell therapies have made in many cancers.

2. Mixed up issues of treatment progress and treatment access. Treatment progress is a fact, but can be missed if patients don’t have access.

Access in the US is essentially a political issue - states with Medicaid expansion, for example, have better overall access than those that don’t. Also, in general, changing Medical practice is slow, even once a therapy is approved.

The narrative that we have only poor treatment options that don’t advance misses the true progress that has been made, and let’s those responsible, ie insurance companies and politicians off the hook.

German magazine fires editor over AI 'interview' with Michael Schumacher

By the way, this was the thesis of the unfairly* maligned Solyndra: their collectors were extremely light and encased in tubes. The idea was that they were light and could be anchored without through holes to joists (every through hole in a roof is a leak opportunity for a leak, especially when it’s a retrofit; with the weight of panels on a flat industrial roof you often have to anchor them to a structural member). Also the tube structure permitted airflow so there wasn’t a heat build up nor risk of a “wing” phenomenon.

* one political party chose to use Solyndra as a cudgel against a reasonable industrial program. I was always dubious that their thin film approach would pan out, and indeed it didn’t which was what killed the company. But admired their basic thesis, which I still think was sound.
This article uses terms that de-legitimize certain types of discourse, such as "radicalization", "extremist figures," "hate speech" and "misinformation."

Who decides whether the theory that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese lab is a scientific hypothesis to be tested, or "misinformation" to be suppressed? Who decides that Jordan Peterson is an "extremist figure" but RuPaul is not?

Why are (generally left-leaning) people trying so hard to keep certain concepts out of the marketplace of ideas?

If those ideas are so obviously wrong and bad, why should they be censored and suppressed, rather than discussed and refuted?

The article should be re-written from a more neutral point of view. As it is, it implicitly endorses a certain framing of the issues it discusses. Usually Wikipedia has better standards.
Harry begs to differ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezmeX8c672U - it's 2.3 tonnes for the M50, which compromises all the dynamics quite considerably. He absolutely slates it in that regard. Regarding range "A range of under 200 miles is simply not good enough, especially at eighty thousands pounds. I would just buy the Tesla instead of this. The first real disappointment of 2022."

https://evcompare.io claims a real-world winter range in miles of:

192 for the BMW i4 M50

241 for the BMW i4 eDrive40

252 for the Tesla Model 3 Performance

282 for the Tesla Model 3 Long Range

So yes, the much slower i4 with the 18" wheels gets a similar range to the much faster Model 3 Performance with the 20" wheels. That's not really apples-for-apples though is it?

If you don't want the M50 / M3 Performance speed, then save the £6k and get a Model 3 Long Range. You'd have more performance and more range than the i4 eDrive40, and a car that weighs nearly half a tonne less.

(That's before options - it's about £9k to get all the things that are standard on the Tesla, like keyless entry, a heated steering wheel, electric seats, lumbar support adjustment, auto-dipping headlights, wireless phone charging, drive recorder, active cruise + lane keeping (autopilot), a glass roof, etc.)
As someone who had an alcoholic stepfather growing up, me and my mother would both ultimately have preferred a lotus eater. Alcohol is already legal (and always will be, as prohibition showed us), so there's no point in criminalizing any drug that's less destructive than alcohol is.
I don’t need to be mistaken for a native but at least I’ll be a tourist who’s _trying_.

The hate comes from the fact that Duolingo positions itself as something that can do much more for you than that -- "The world's #1 way to learn a language" in fact, from its marketing materials.

When in reality it just doesn't do all that much. And there are infinitely better (albeit less passive) ways to learn a language.
It's entirely possible to challenge the consensus. But his alternative was rejected for many reasons, none of which were "groupthink". It's an ad hominem argument because he can't defend it on scientific grounds, and he knows asserting a conspiracy will attract supporters among those who don't understand the domain.

Haiku! I run it in a VM and spend all my time porting SolveSpace to it. https://twitter.com/realTaraHarris/status/164989272422757990...

X512 (a prolific contributor) got accelerated Vulkan graphics going on it recently (on one old Radeon card), and it has an active community of people constantly working to improve it.

Sore spots:

- driver support is good if you've got old hardware, but I have to run it in a VM on my machine (a Surface Pro 8)

- the available web browsers are old. I use a newer WebKit built for it, but you have to build it from source. The snapshot I downloaded is 1.5 GB of code + an hour of compilation

- alt-tab only works if you put the keymapper in Windows mode (which forces ctrl for cut, copy and paste)

I run Debian 11 to host the VM, run FireFox and watch YouTube. Once I get to a certain point with SolveSpace for Haiku, I might try my hand at writing a device driver or two to make it possible to dump Linux.

Haiku has a very bright future in my opinion. This is due to its simplicity, excellent architecture and user friendliness. It is the true successor to the original Macintosh, built on the kind of solid foundation the Mac never had. In terms of adoption, it feels like where Linux was in 1995.

DDR5 is something like 10x slower (or 10% of the bandwidth) of GDDR6 or HBM that's used on GPUs.

There's no point going much wider on iGPUs, because they're all throttled by DDR4/DDR5 anyway. The exception: PS5 and XBox both have GDDR (graphics RAM) which is 10x more bandwidth than your typical DDR4/DDR5. Since they are no longer memory-bandwidth constrained, they can go much bigger and remain practical.
Dedicated GPUs are a chip about the same size as a CPU + a big board with power delivery, memory modules, cooling etc. CPUs would be the same size if they had all that stuff on their own discrete board too.

Pairing a 4090 + a CPU on the same chip/side by side would be a stretch, but it has nothing to do with physical size - more the motherboard needing to handle power delivery, and the separate memory not being fast enough. Something like a 3060 is probably more reasonable.

This already exists too - the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S both use APUs with much more powerful GPUs than are available as standalone purchases.

So the reward for signing into YouTube is being able to "reset" by signing out? Because (on desktop) I do all of my youtubing with browsers that have never been logged into any Alphabet service and yet the algorithm has a very clear idea about what to show me. The idea that signing out would somehow give you a pristine neutral state seems quite naive from this perspective.

No. Youtube is not a replacement for rigorous training and that in and of itself isn't the actual purpose of higher education, which primarily functions to create life-long lasting networks.

Gen Z'ers who think they can replace an education with Youtube and college networks with Discord will, and already have, ended up as permanent gig workers with no social capital at some NFT firm. It's worth noting the complete decline in highly valued tech ventures started by very young people from 2010+ onwards. There is no Gen Z Zuckerberg or Facebook, and they're already into their mid-twenties. Gen Z is caught up in influencer and hustle culture.

Including a copyright notice? I'm most familiar with post-1960s films which had both, but left "small print" things like that to the very end.

Wikipedia suggests opening credits were always incomplete credit-wise - "Films generally had opening credits only, which consisted of just major cast and crew, although sometimes the names of the cast and the characters they played would be shown at the end.

That's right but your claim that this

completely ignores my (admittedly back-of-the-envelope) calculation. Please do point out if there's an error somewhere but until then I will stand by my point: Emissions from meat production – even with meat consumption as high as it is these days – are negligible in the grand scheme of things. We better focus our efforts elsewhere.

Besides, what kind of food would we replace the meat with? That food would also need to be grown, harvested, transported, and so on. In the end, we might not gain much in terms of greenhouse gases.
In the future could we see a models fine-tuned for specializing in every language? Or would a general model outperform?

I'm not iglio but I also have issues with memorization in general, despite effort. Probably due to a head injury I got as a child, but hard to really be sure.

I work around it the same way in practice; having access to google so I can look things up is really helpful. I can do the actual work on paper if I have access to formulas or reference materials, but I've forgotten things like long division as many times as I've learned them, and I was never able to memorize times tables successfully. Naturally this is a hindrance to classwork - I had one great math teacher who recognized that memorization was a problem and he allowed me to have a reference book of formulas during my finals so I was able to pass with no issues since I was able to do the math, but most other uni courses were a huge challenge. Courses where you're allowed to use a calculator were great in comparison.

Honeybees are actually not very good at pollinating plants; they take most of the pollen back to their hive instead of spreading it between plants. Furthermore, they often outcompete (non-honey producing) indigenous bees that are actually good at pollinating plants.
What I’m waiting for is the 3 row SUV that I already have to be available in an EV. I don’t want dorky “futuristic” styles and model names distinguishing it as an EV just basically what I have already. Then I could use the EV for my day to day and the ICE for emergencies or road-trips.
Honeybees are domesticated, and as usual humans tend to select for animals that produce more. Even so they'd need to produce enough to hold the hive over winter.

I'm confused about what this is supposed to mean - the FT article is vacuous too.

Without more specific language, I assume this is just reiterating the Intel Foundry Services[^1] thing. From the Intel newsroom:

> IFS and Arm will undertake design technology co-optimization (DTCO), in which chip design and process technologies are optimized together to improve power, performance, area and cost (PPAC) for Arm cores targeting Intel 18A process technology [...] IFS and Arm will develop a mobile reference design, allowing demonstration of the software and system knowledge for foundry customers. With the industry’s evolution from DTCO to system technology co-optimization (STCO), Arm and IFS will work together to optimize the platforms from applications and software through package and silicon, leveraging Intel’s unique open system foundry model.

Unless "making your own semiconductor" is supposed to mean "semiconductor process design," but it seems more likely this is about taping out some prototype (like they did with Morello[^2] on TSMC 7FF).

I think we were talking about furnace efficiency. This is measured without respect to the heating distribution elements. You don't need to have a distribution system connected to measure furnace efficiency.

So when I said that 100% of the air involved in a forced hot water system is used for combustion and exhausted, I mean the air at the furnace, not the air that is indirectly heated in the living space.

Agreed that the goal is to heat the living space though, including the air. A forced hot air system does that directly (pushing heated air into living space), and forced hot water does so indirectly (pushing hot water into radiators in living space, which heat the air by convection).

Radiant floor heat is another example where there's no air at the heat source.

The performance report doesn't describe the loss approached by each of these fine tunings, but I wonder if the number of tokens in the instruction dataset was just not nearly long enough to produce high quality output.

I can't think of any other reason the 13B parameter model would perform worse than the 7B model. Would love to see a deep dive into the fine tuning and more details - by epoch if possible - on the output.

If we own the platform, yes, we should (and do) have the right to do just that. We can also kick people out of our house we don't agree with, and businesses can refuse service to people they don't agree with. The news doesn't have to print everything it's given. TV stations don't have to broadcast every tape that comes in the mail.

The alternative is to be forced to platform people you don't agree with, and who may even seek to do you harm, which would be a violation of freedom of speech, freedom of association as well as personal liberty.
Stanley Parable was pretty awesome in it's simplicity. Right there with you when it comes to high tech fancy graphics and animations and over the top storytelling instead of adding the equivalent manhours to gameplay.
Your definition excludes language models, as they are in and of them selves just a model which interpolates from data (i.e. makes predictions). But your definition also includes lots of other systems, most mammalian brains construct some kind of models of reality in order to make predictions. And we have no idea whether other systems (such as fungal networks or ant colonies) do that.

I’m not saying these language models—or my hypothetical perfume—aren’t an amazing feat of technology, however neither has any deep philosophical implications about shared properties other than the ones constructed to do so. Meaning, even if LLMs and humans are the only two things in the universe that can reason abstractly in the same way humans do, that doesn’t mean the latter has any more properties shared with the former.
