The phrase in the original homeric greek is "οίνωψ πόντος". "οίνωψ" is a combination of "οίνος" = wine, and ωψ = "view/look" (related to the modern όψη). So it's not wine-"colored", per se, but it is specified to be "wine-like", specifically in a visual sense. to be fair, this could be other qualities than color, e.g. as others mentioned, perhaps opaqueness.

Years ago, back when I participated on CF health lists, someone said "My child with CF turns 18 today. When he was born, life expectancy for CF was 18. It is now 36."

Since then, several CFTR modulators have become available, which are game changing for many people.

Time, money, and attention are finite, yet output keeps growing. Hence the need for a lot of filtering. I wish there was an alternative, but I don't see any. Do journals reject quality work? Are geniuses passed up for promotion? Sure, but just giving some examples like Peter Higgs is hindsight bias.

e’ve got loads more scientists, and they publish way more papers. And yet science is less disruptive than ever, scientific productivity has been falling for decades, and scientists rate the discoveries of decades ago as worthier than the discoveries of today. (Reminder, if you want to blame this on ideas getting harder to find, I will fight you.

For a fact is check here, I recommend that people do a quick web search. "Solar panel hurricane" or "wind turbine hurricane" will set the record straight here, that they survive hurricanes just fine.

And for people or small communities with battery storage on their solar, they are back online before everyone else. Solar panels also work absolutely great in freezes, without requiring due supply.

And since a grid built on renewables has far more battery storage on it, and is used to shifting power sources frequently due to the intermittency of renewables, a renewable grid will have fewer single points of failure and be more resilient when there are large weather events that take out large generators.

For those who are Delphi curious you can use the wonderful skia4delphi [1] with firemonkey which gives you high quality graphics for all fire monkey components. So you can use all the existing components and commercial components and they'll render perfectly. Once you start using it you'll realise how awful and painful web development is. Fire monkey is the component library that works across windows (32 and 64 bit)/Mac/iOS/Android, replaces the old VCL windows only library.

Freud emerged at a time in history when there was an extraordinary demand for a particular service that had been lost over the course of 300 years: auricular confession to a priest.

Since most Protestant sects since 1517 had been consistently rejecting and deprecating the practice of auricular confession, men around the world, especially in Europe, were bursting with secrets. There is a basic human need to disclose our secrets to God, and to feel cleansed and regenerated and relieved of the burdens they've become.

So Freud and his colleagues designed psychoanalysis as a comfortable, secular, drop-in replacement for auricular confession, and established a new priestly class among the Protestant laity. Now it's great to fill a void, but of course Catholics and Orthodox had never ceased the original practice, and so it was clear that psychoanalysis was explicitly designed to usurp and work at crossed-purposes to the religiously-branded type.

In the past two centuries, the new priesthood has succeeded in establishing a secular church, even in disestablishmentarian jurisdictions such as these United States. By medicalizing defects of mind, and applying a "disease model" of diagnosis and treatment (but never cures) even to vices such as substance addiction, the new priesthood has established religious control over the populace in unprecedented ways (okay, maybe they are definitely precedented). The most recent expansion of this religion is from "mental" to "behavioral" health; i.e. not only your internal thoughts, but also your outward actions, are under scrutiny and subject to control.

It is interesting that recent developments have seen Roman Catholicism take an approach of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and wholly embrace psychoanalysis, psychology and psychiatry as their own, even going so far as to accept theories of homosexuality and "orientation" as givens and psychological facts. There are now explicitly branded Catholic practitioners of mental health, where you can go for drugs, psychoanalysis, and support groups, because two churches are better than one, I suppose.

He can spin stories and build worlds very well indeed, but he can't write dialog or direct actors worth a damn. He needs someone else to handle this stuff. His best work was when he came up with the grand vision for something, but someone else handled dialog, scriptwriting, and directing. Basically, the guy was a technical genius but had no eye for the human element.
Who would require a personal web site? How many personal web sites do you look at? A good personal web site may count for something, but not having one doesn't really send a negative message. I have my own site but I don't have time or inclination to maintain it, and that doesn't seem to matter to my customers.

Certainly whatever "tech stack" you choose for a personal site makes no difference at all unless you can use the site to show off some exceptional skills. It's all plain HTML and JS in the browser, what you use on the back-end makes no difference to anyone but you.

You might not want to put an essay about "I'm too tired to do anything" alongside your professional resume.

I wonder about the mechanics of how this would be enforced, and on what basis. What if John Deere just doesn't do that? Will they not be able to sell tractors in CO? Or what if they just decide not to anymore on their own? And then what if I buy a tractor from them out of state and bring it into CO. Does John Deere have to provide repair parts/manuals to me? What if they have slightly different models for CO and everywhere else?

Does this also put upward pressure on tractor prices as any other manufacturer would also have to comply with this? (Meaning competition won't prevent passing the cost along to the farmer)

The same as back then: You can get pretty damn close with a used PlayStation Eye webcam (I have 5 lying around for that reason). Unless something changed very recently, the next steps up cost more than a whole Alexa device (e.g. ReSpeaker Core).
Hasn't everyone learned that "store all the history of changes" is an anti-feature? The Legal departments generally do not care for this (its just more data to make sure you deleted). And it makes schema migrations more painful as not only do you have to migrate the data you have now, but all of your historical data too! If you add a new property do you backfill it in your old data (to keep your code working)? Or start special casing old version in your code? Neither is pretty.

If you want historical audit trails, make them intentional and subject to the same rules and patterns as your regular data.
This is a great first step. It's a joke that Open AI thinks they can get away with saying they use "both publicly available data (such as internet data) and data licensed from third-party providers" in their Technical Report.

There isn't anything left at that point! With that information they could actually have used anything.

If you're going to pretend to be doing science you should at least be held to some of the standards we typically associate with doing science.

Yes, one of the memory options in Langchain is to use a vector store:

https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/modules/memory/types/...

It also has a more basic version that just keeps a log of past messages.

I don't know whether there's a way (or even a need) to combine these approaches. In a long conversation, it might be useful to trust more recent information more than earlier messages, but Langchain's vector memory doesn't care about sequence.

How would you determine what tags to filter by? Would you also need to rely on the LLM to say "which tags from the collection match this question"?

How many of the 45 million users have ever touched xcode?
Sure, but it's also not a loss.
From reading the AI act, which is being referred to, it seems to be more than just that. In particular Article 29, which discusses the ability of the user to test for conformity, which the act defines as compliance with the rules set in the act, which include accuracy and robustness transparently communicated to users.

What could that possibly mean other than proveance in the context of a LLM?

The only other way to comply would be if OpenAI simply released the entire training set and steps to derive output from it. In this case that would mean the weights and underlying training algorithm. No chance that happens.
Yes. Politics. Stuff that's irrelevant to the development of Firefox. Which is the only thing Mozilla should be focusing on given how far behind they are.
I think the point is that if your markets are defined by a toggle switch in xcode, it's probably arbitrary.

I own a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle so I keep a close eye on hydrogen tech and prices and it is expensive and not a easy chemical to work it.

Even the commercial hydrogen that comes from natural gas at the pump costs $26/ KG in California - up from only $13 this time last time.

As much as I would like to see a robust hydrogen economy we are long way from using hydrogen for proper energy storage .

From my experience, density and leaks are major problems that is going to be hard to solve at scale cheaply, commercial hydrogen i. buy is already at 10,000 psi and 5kg tank(carbon fiber no less) my car has is massive .

The pumps usually have dedicated buildings just to store <1000 kg .

We used field phones all the time when I was in light infantry (82nd Airborne). Pretty much any time we were in a fixed position out would come the commo wire so as to not give our position away.

They even went as far as having us string wire out to our ambush sites when we were on the Iraqi border during the first gulf war and reel it back up when we came in. Zero radio signals out there because they didn’t want them to know that a whole division plus French armor was there.

Modern tech is good and all unless you have some dumb Joe that keeps erasing the codes out of the radio by turning on the truck without putting it on standby or something…never quite figured that one out.

Sure, but nobody is explaining why. I assume people simply don’t understand it properly.
I wish more people realized that $11 billion dollars isn’t a lot of money for the federal government.

That’s $35 per capita.

The government goes net positive on a lot of projects indirectly. All they have to do is generate $11 billion or more in new tax income sometime in the future for a project like this to be worth it. Alternatively, it has to protect $11 billion worth of national interests.

Maintaining and expanding this type of national technology lead is worth way more than $11 billion.

I see two things currently happening in ML:

1. The era of ML benchmarks is ending. New models have to be and will be evaluated the same way human experts are evaluated.

2. Foundational models are becoming multi modal. There will be no separation of text and image generation. Sure, different methods will be used for each, but the learned representations of visual and textual objects in models like Stable Diffusion already live in the same conceptual space.

I don’t think there will be specialized generative models for chemistry two years from now. There will be GPT-5 (and similar competitors) which will be used to perform all kinds of research, including chemistry.

You would be reported to CPS for doing some of the things that parents used to let their kids do in the 1950s. The standard for raising children has changed quite a bit.

National statistics indicate that 1 in 3 children will have CPS called on them during their childhood.
That’s true, but if you shipped code that caused ecological damage due to a failure to follow correct procedures, there would be corrective measures. For example:

- You might not be allowed to ship code without oversight

- You might have to complete a post mortem and analysis of what went wrong

- If you were negligent (e.g., you skipped protocol to ship on a 4/20 joke), you might be fired

The FAA is basically saying “Something went way outside parameters here and you caused a lot of damage. Take a pause and figure that out”, and the parent poster is mad about that
Do MIME types in HTTP headers affect how browsers render content? As far as I know most static web servers simply have a mapping between file extensions and MIME types that they send for response headers and that it's up to the DOCTYPE and quirks of the browser to determine how the page itself is rendered. Since this page's DOCTYPE is...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

...I'd say it absolutely is XHTML (assuming that it reasonably validates as such, i.e. closes all tags and so forth). Have things changed recently in this regard?

Debris creation and cleanup is fairly well defined in the Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) done by Spacex and signed off by the FAA and relevant agencies for the Boca site to be used for starship launches.

They probably thought it was more likely to be rocket pieces, rather than concrete pieces, but managing incidents affecting the surrounding area was not some unpredicted, program ending scenario.

Clearly Spacex will have to provide fixes and mitigations to the FAA for the mishap investigation to be closed and obtain the next launch license, but that process is pretty normal for any launch failure. (Not so much the throwing slabs of concrete around, that's not normal!)

It's dependent on expectations. You could raise kids in the past with much less money + time because they would be expected to entertain themselves (and probably would spend a bunch of time outdoors getting into trouble). Today you would get CPS called on you for that.

Given current expectations for raising kids, yes, it's a time+money sink. Then again, I think America over-parents on the whole, so altering expectations can also help.
