Bear in mind how profoundly feudal academia's history and mindset are. A self-serving professor can bring a great deal of prestige to the university. And prestige is by far the #1 priority for a modern university.

Used to use Vysor, switched to scrcpy. First, this is free, so that's a big up in its win column. I had trouble with stability in Visor that I never had with scrcpy. Plus, it's open source. There's no comparison to me.
Other jobs are replaceable by AI advancements as well. Who cares
It's not wrong to say current LLM capability were indeed unimaginable back then. A lot about the transformer model was driven by experimentation, there was no underlying theory per se that said we'd get as good results as we did.

Everyone and the researchers themselves were shocked iirc; all this higher order reasoning emerged from being a next token predictor, yes that was the outlandish part.
Crypto/Finance scammers are getting creative in their spam comments on YouTube
probably with the help of AI, as I think they are otherwise very unimaginative people

this is the most amount of likes that I've ever seen on a spam comment that is this recent, it was the second most top comment.

I see these types of comments on almost every video that is finance related, e.g by CNBC or Business Insider but rarely see them on a video like this, which was titled "Rainy Jazz Cafe - Slow Jazz Music..."

I must admit, at first I was like aww this is a sweet comment, until I read "I was introduced to a woman named ____ _____ _____ info@___.com"
Not in my experience, unfortunately.

I got a new XPS13 for work with Ubuntu pre-installed about 4 years ago and it was far from the "sweet spot".

Hibernate/sleep didn't work out of the box (although the fix was relatively straightforward), wifi was flakey (I switched to wired) on the office network but most annoying of all, I could never get a satisfactory second monitor to work without scaling issues and I tried every permutation of suggested fixes known to google.

As a macbook owner (for non-professional/non-dev stuff), I didn't appreciate the chore of having to semi-actively manage the system to preserve battery. The burden wasn't huge but it was irritating having to regularly close browsers and the like as most of the applications were clearly designed for a desktop environment.

In the end, the compromises were too much for me even as a long-time user of Linux on the desktop.
As Denmark is a protectorate of the US due to the strategic importance of Greenland and Thule AFB, I am weary of any official announcements made.

If it were the US, as other sources have speculated (and as Biden has hinted in speeches), Denmark would never say anything.
The bible is not exactly a historical document. It's a collection of mythology with some loose basis in reality
Reading this made me check my personal privilege. I realized that that's exactly why I'm pursuing that kind of arrangement. It is absolutely at the top of the pile in terms of technical and artistic creative endeavors, which you can pursue, which also can make money. If played right, you really do get the best of every world. Tenure allows you to be exactly this crazy. The position gives you credibility to investors and the community at large. You'll have access to smart people all around you, who support what you do and are happy to collaborate.
Why do people find this shocking?

Many buy records for the aesthetic, for the Instagram. You know, the counter-cultural, non mass-market, non mainstream, "I don't watch TV, lol", underground "think different" kind of thing.

Just like many buy books that they never intend to read to use as a nice video call backdrop. It's important to have the proper mix between eclectical and practical books, some technical, some art. Honestly there is a startup in here, creating a "proper" book list, suitable for your ingroup.
Sorry, no dice. It isn't, at least not intentionally.
Everyone has this same feeling that we don’t know what the hell is going on or what is going to happen. In troubled times there’s a buck to be made by confidently asserting you know what’s going on and what’s coming next.
Doesn't help when esp. his editing sucks. You can see that easily when he does remakes, and compare them. Internal Affairs vs Departed.

Either the editor is thinking the audience is too stupid, do they have to overexplain everything, or the editor is too stupid, or the director is too stupid. The third option being the most likely.
And not even Asian directors are the best with bold cuts, African movies treating their audiences as the most clever. There's no need at all for lengthy introductions so that Aunty Karen will get it. Apparently Africans get it better than Asians, and esp. Americans.

Internal Affairs run 30m longer, even with extensive backstory cuts.
Unfortunately I wrote my critic in German only, https://letterboxd.com/rurban/film/the-departed/
I don’t necessarily agree with this, it’s somewhat assuming the software architecture and user journey are held constant… if you completely redesign the software around generative AI then the UX and UI would change substantially
I save most of my money, but supposedly I was going to spend it anyway so actually it should be taxed? Infuriating take.

Edit: Forgot to mention the obvious, if this is how you feel, why isn't a higher sales tax on certain items ideal? People scoff at sales tax proposals because they'd target the poor, but sales taxes could be implemented progressively too. Tax new cars, smartphones, etc. More expensive items get a higher tax, reducing the impact on poorer people.
It is a blog of an American professor writing in his own language. He is talking about US, because Americans are as entitled to write about US as French are about France.

And you will be shocked, but peoples from other nations would create exact same headline when they write in their own language.
Some of the Gospels were canonized, sure, but to claim this is fanfiction, while it appears to be contemporary or earlier than some of the others, I think is a bad take. It'd be like claiming that the Q document (if it is ever found) is fanfiction compared to the other gospels.

Assuming it's real.
Why would your kids not understand it? My son certainly has no problem exploring album art and reading liner notes while he enjoys one of his favorites.

Am I the only one who thinks the US didn't actually achieve this achievement, which indeed would have been "insane" if they had?

Of course they faked it. It's too damn hard, and they weren't about to risk the lives of astronauts.
And this is also true for many of the people who work in institutions. Look at how much more desirable positions in coastal United States universities are than those in the interior, particular private ones like the IVs and some of the larger and more famous ones in big public systems. The thing is, if you don't care about status and you believe that almost anyone can do good work, as long as they're motivated, you can go anywhere you want, and in many cases you'll find that you're welcomed with open arms. But this comes at a cost of status.
There was one article I read that discussed an "AI Winter". The tl;dr being that our entire global compute likely isn't sufficient enough for a hypothetical AGI.

What's more likely, IMO, is using real brain cells. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/oct/human-brain-cells-dish-l...

However, real brain cells are a big question of ethics if it's thus actually able to think. I would argue that we've then created a slave rather than a machine, and that is unacceptable.

I work in a field related to surgeon education. Until the results of AI output can be guaranteed to be deterministic and proven to always be correct, the legal ramifications of an AI providing incorrect information or promoting off-label usage is likely insurmountable. There are dozens or hundreds of eyes that see this information before it is approved for use and weeks can be spent arguing over a single word.
15% of music listeners probably don't have a record player set up ready to be used.

Record players, however, are a really common sight in garages and the back of closets. Even younger folks have picked them up from estate sales and flea markets on a whim and never used them.
Is non-invasive brain imaging to get the ‘thought level’ resolution an impossible problem?

In my experience, someone with some teaching experience in a field should run operations for academic department—an NTT that teaches a course or two a semester, for example. And a tenure track chair should be the decision maker on the department’s direction.

However, I also find that academics make poor administrators and leaders more often than not. I think this comes down to experience. Academics often go from no or minimum leadership and management responsibilities to many and some are just not equipped to handle it. Being a chair is poor experience to becoming an academic Dean and even poorer experience to becoming a non-academic leader. Additionally, many have to learn the hard way that most challenges within a large organization require a ton of coordination and alignment and that there are very few instances where there is a silver bullet to solve business challenges.

I live in Paris, the city with the most art house cinemas in the world. There are so much of them I have a hard time following what is showed every week. I made a simple crawler that looks at these cinemas and sends a digest of the week schedule by email, listing only the movies that went out one more than year ago (because these theaters also show recent films). Nothing fancy here but I use it every week.
> ask them what percentage of adjuncts they have, lower is obviously better.

As a 17-year old high school senior what would your process be to “ask them”? And does it matter what the university’s percentage is vs. the percentage in the program the prospective student is interested in? And wouldn’t students turning down schools because of too many adjuncts just lead to more adjuncts as there’s less tuition money coming in?

This has all the hallmarks of “Walk into the office, shake the manager’s hand and hand them your resume.”

The creators of the FOIA could not have foreseen the synchronicity that would stem from the collision of their lawmaking with Robert Sinclair's transcendent writings about commuting to the CIA within a few years of the FOIA's signing.

The fact that the same canoe commute involved bicycling, my own default commute mode, makes it even more heartfelt and resplendent.
> On the other hand.. it's blocking access to feta cheese to all of Europe. Feta cheese only keeps for maybe a day and there's no efficient way to get it from Greece to European supermarkets before it's turned. Now that we finally have super fresh food in our supermarkets, feta cheese stands out in that it's simply impossible to get fresh outside of Greece.

I'm sorry but that is not right. I'm Greek and I make cheese, although feta is not my specialty. Feta can last for weeks in the refrigerator, and it can be aged for a year or more before it is sent to market. Perhaps you are thinking of a different Greek cheese? There are some varieties of anthotyro (a whey cheese, made as a byproduct of making feta and other Greek cheeses) that do not last very long. But, the general rule is that with modern refrigeration technology most cheese, from most countries, can travel around Europe without trouble.

"Fresh" feta is also a bit of a misconception. Traditionally, feta is aged in wooden barrels, in 18 degrees Celsius. In modern days, market forces limit the aging period to the absolute minimum of three months, but you can still find plenty of traditional producers who age their feta for a lot longer. When we're talking about cheese, "fresh" refers more to the taste and organoleptic characteristics of the product, rather than how soon it is consumed after production. So three-month old feta cheese will often be referred to as "fresh" even if it's ... three months old.

In my understanding, what really blocked "access to feta cheese to all of Europe" was, for a long time, the production of cheese called "feta" by French, German and Danish companies, who made "feta" with cheap, industrially bred cow's milk, until the PDO for Greek feta was established. Those inferior "feta" cheeses confused European consumers, for whom after all feta is not a tradition and they can't be expected to know what feta is supposed to be like, and contrived to keep the real stuff out of the European market.

Of course, if you ask me, the kind of fully PDO feta that can be found in most European markets today is not much better than the cow's milk "feta" made by those non-Greek producers, even if it's made in Greece and while (nominally) respecting the PDO regulations, but that's another, and vary painful discussion. Suffice it to say that adulteration of milk for feta with cow's milk bought in the cheap from other Balkan countries is a thing.

>"Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason."

Because the comment makes the assumption that it'll conflict with their apparent low attention spans from years of skipping through songs on their music streaming platforms of choice, rendering them unable to sit down to consume an entire album.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people have a similar answer! I suspect my longest lasting code is either a quick and dirty shell script or a throw away prototype that ended up in production. I wonder how often the code we obsess over for quality persists versus, say, the code we build in response to a timely, but perhaps less high profile, business need. I'm curious what actually drives longevity.
I haven't really understood how the proposed simplification should work... It's clearly exponential without it, but I am not sure about the supposed added labels. What should those be, conjunction and group subsets? Does that make them exponential?

The proofs and even explanations in this paper aren't very clear to me...
Because it saves everyone time. If you have things to do that are not meetings you can block off your calendar. It is a tool to solve scheduling challenges. Not using it is a choice, but it creates operational inefficiency.

If you take a step back and look at computing in general as some amorphous evolving entity, it can be said the Machines are getting better and I would be surprised if it wasn’t exponential.

Talking out of my ass here, but my point is that I think The Machines(c) don’t look like biological and separated entities. I think it’ll look more like what we call corporations (hive minds) composed of a vast variety of different functional parts.
This comment is bang on.
It's a 4-D projection/Rubik's cube manual about personal development, the logos, and the formation, nurturing, and triumph of a society, despite going up against what seems to be impossible odds. Simply calling it mythology or tying it's value as history or any other ill-conceived standard of truth and guidance we have now is missing the point.
Couldn't you also make this argument for JS in general? I think many folks looking from the outside in at JS would argue that the amount of "JS garbage" has already surpassed PHP.

I know you specified _without dependencies_, but I don't know that it's a fair comparison. The standard library for PHP and JS seem fairly similar to me; I work with both languages daily. Using NPM packages are much easier imo for greenfield projects.

PHP before Composer still had a ton of 3rd party script usage, but with explicit imports instead of autoloading.
If you accept that AGI is possible at all…

How can a something that generates such a massive surge of interest, investment and research into AI not be a step toward it?

Saying it’s not a step towards AGI is basically saying AGI isn’t possible at all, because it means that all our efforts are making zero progress on AGI. That’s not a falsifiable position to take.

If you’re serious, the parent post literally said “AGI isnt going to look like this”.

…but realistically, how would a LLM that could easily refine itself from experiences, and had a very large context, let’s say, a billion tokens, be meaningfully different from AGI?

It could learn. It could remember things. It could generate human like output from a complex context.

Sure, it’s just a stochastic parrot… but if it can refine the model from real world inputs (learn new tricks, learn games, etc) and generate large scale (entire books worth) of coherent conversation and interactions… where do you draw the line between that and actual AGI?

Large contexts (35k tokens) are here right now. Refining models is here right now. They’re just expensive and slow (inference and training).

Maybe the current architecture doesn’t scale up beyond that and it’s a dead end, but my gosh.

If you don’t think what we have is a step towards AGI you really have to work hard to make your definition of AGI very very difficult to attain.
In my opinion…

Wealth taxes are a not the best idea. Being taxed on something illiquid that can’t generate cash flow is the pinnacle of dumb taxation. For example, you have a piece of art. You’d have to sell something just to hold onto the art, and if you don’t have anything to sell, you’d have to sell the art itself just to pay for ownership of the art. It would make some sense to increase capital gains taxes instead of slapping people with a wealth tax. I say this as someone that would not be hit by a wealth tax.

Also, the rich can simply move assets out of the country, and then you erode the very thing you want to tax.
My litmus tests for coffee shops is to order a batch brew (if they don't do that, anything that's not based of an espresso). Good beans and proper machine maintenance can be tasted very well in the humble batch brew.
Short answer: start looking after 2 years.

Proper answer: do what's best for you, not for a hiring manager.

The main problem with staying too long with a company is that you get into a rut. If you're enjoying the work, learning new things, have a good team, and you get paid market rate, then why move? If you're unhappy about one or more of the above, then it's time to move on.

Changing frequently is a self-fixing problem. If hiring managers are rejecting your CV because you've not been in your current job long enough, then you'll be stuck there for another few months, and eventually you will have been there long enough. Unless you have a series of jobs under 2 years, don't worry about it. If you do have a series of jobs where you've only been there a few months, perhaps you need to be more picky about which jobs you accept.
> My requirements are basically powerful hardware, a real GPU with nvidia strongly preferred, and good Linux support.

Unless the NVIDIA GPU is for Windows usage or CUDA, I would strongly recommend a AMD GPU instead. My last laptop had a NVIDIA GPU and it was a hell of issues inside Linux, that was amplified for the fact that I needed to use the NVIDIA GPU or I would get no output in its HDMI port. For sure, this was a gaming laptop and I expect a Dell XPS or Precision to use the sanest choice (connect all outputs to the iGPU instead). My Thinkpad P14s Gen 1 (new old stock) with AMD Ryzen 4750U and a Vega 7 iGPU is much better, no issues at all.

I had a Dell Precision 5530 from my previous workplace with a NVIDIA GPU (don't remember what) that was much better behaved in Linux, but in this case I just disabled the NVIDIA GPU and used the integrated Intel graphics (that really sucked). So if you are not interested to using NVIDIA GPU at all in Linux I would recommend this one, but to use it day-to-day in Linux desktop I would avoid NVIDIA GPUs.

Note that Mark is generally thought to be recording an earlier, possibly oral, gospel dubbed Q. It would have been composed closer to the nominal date of the crucifixion, perhaps contemporary with the epistles.

That doesn't make it an eyewitness account, and even if it were we can only infer its text from the copies in the synoptic gospels (which disagree with each other). But it does give us a chronology of the composition relative to the events that inspired it.
> The USDA defines butter as having at least 80% fat, while the EU defines butter as having between 82 and 90% butterfat and a maximum of 16% water.

Hmm. Common supermarket butter here is either 65% or 80%. Most people go for the 65% because ... it's less fat.

I'm not into fancy butter that may indeed be 82-90% though. But I'm pretty sure the EU allows less fatty products to be labeled "butter".
