I thought about working with 4-H to create a permaculture track.

I live in the city. I have been applying permaculture design principles to my back and front yard. I am exposing my kids to all of this, and it is not too late for you if that is what you want to do.

You have to do things a bit differently in the city, but you absolutely can apply the 12 design principles and 3 ethical principles.
I pass a sightseeing spot on my usual run. It's on a hill, overseeing a lake bellow as well as forest surrounding the lake. I take the same picture whenever I got phone on me. Looking back at the pictures, there're no 2 identical pictures. Lush greenery, snow, ice on a lake, brownness of the fall.... Maybe a tree has fallen or a younger tree got big enough to cover older ones since the year before.

There're tons and tons of details that are hard to notice if you ain't coming back for a hundredth time.
>It's clearer to compare a radius to a radius, is all.

The OP wasn't comparing a diameter to a radius, he was comparing one line to another line: the diameter of the outer ring (line going from one end to the other passing through the middle) and the distance between Pluto and the Sun (line between two points). The fact that Pluto orbits the Sun is just a coincidence for the purposes of this comparison.

> or one bit per GB every two hours

How is that possible? Wouldn't such an error frequency lead to user-observable problems all the time? For example, in the average statically compiled codebase, flipping a single bit in source code being edited (with the code then being saved to disk) will make it fail to compile with high probability, which would be noticed immediately. Yet I've never encountered this situation in practice, nor heard of anyone else encountering it, and like most people I don't even use ECC RAM. That seems incongruent with the figure quoted above.
How noble to fight litter with the same technology that is used to hunt down terrorists. I don’t suppose the AI would ever be used for anything else?

Not really, no. There are plenty of intangible abstractions that don't describe material systems. Take imaginary numbers, for example. Or the concept of infinity or even zero, neither of which exists in the physical world.

The reason why "naming things" is the other hard problem in computer science, after cache invalidation, is that the process of identifying, creating, and describing ideal abstractions is itself inherently difficult.

Yep. For decades. Plus frequently _before_ planting, Glyphosate is used to clear weeds and volunteer cereals from the fields.

Go to a good shoe store that caters to runners, and try on a bunch of different pairs of shoes to find something that will fit your needs and physiology.

And then throw them away after 500 miles and get a new pair.

I have a suspicion that a big part of the reason that people are feeling better running in Hokas is that they waited too long to replace their last pair of shoes, and literally anything would have been an improvement by the time they switched.

And I say this as someone who recently switched to Hokas. They’re fine.

Honest question: Why did they build an exploit that uses the bug? I always assumed that use-after-free is equivalent to "game over" (i.e. I assumed that local privilege escalation is a given) and it is clear that such a bug must be fixed.

By that I mean, it might be easy or hard to exploit a bug to achieve LPE, but it seems to be redundant to prove that it is possible.

Have you walked through the TL?

Comparing California and Texas can be interesting because the states are both dominated by a single party, so you see how both ideologies can go wrong. With Texas being like a developing country, I'm reminded of the winter power outage. They love free markets. It's not worth it to harden the electric grid for an event that rare that only lasts a few days. Picking on California, its K-12 education is in the bottom quartile.
Yeah same, if I just had to walk 5 or 6 blocks to get to work, I’d probably go for it. Walk home for lunch. Sounds pretty alright.
This makes sense. They are different entities and you have to have a way to acknowledge that they are. Breaking strict equality seems a fitting way to do so.

In Geometry for Programmers, I reference a case when an automated test system caught a "zero-not-zero" bug, and I couldn't reproduce it with a unit test until I finally realized that the test system was comparing XMLs not numbers. In print, "-0." and "0." are, of course, different, although in runtime they pretend to be the same.
Good question. Sometimes. In the US (but not the UK) I’ve seen images of women being jostled on the way into the clinic.
Fine-tuning requires you to train the model with a set of prompts and desired completions. Building a suitable dataset is not trivial and it's not clear what it would mean to use a book for fine-tuning anyway – masking sentences and paragraphs and training the model to complete them in the book's style?
> EU citizens have no freedom of speech

First, technically there are no EU citizens, only citizens of EU member states. Speech is handled at member state level (e.g. hate speech, as in inciting violence against an ethnic or religious group, or displaying Nazi affiliation will be handled very differently in Portugal that never had direct Nazi rule, Germany that is doing it's best to make sure there are never Nazis again, and Poland that suffered centuries of massacres from violent oppressors, including the Nazis) so it's even less correct of a saying in this case.

Second, just because it doesn't fit your ideal of free speech, it doesn't make it non-free. Free is directional (from or to), on a spectrum and a matter of perception.

There are no public places on Earth with absolute free speech, and the vast majority of people prefer it that way.

The 3060 was only readily available quite recently, so it's about 6 years from ready availability of the 1080 at $600 to 3060.

Taking 6 years to double the perf/$ implies that it would take ~42 years for a $40000 H100 to reach mid-range levels. Assuming scaling, particularly VRAM, holds.

And plus it would be getting really close to the Landauer limit by that point.
>This is a comment that originates in privilege.

This sounds like a comment about privilege that originates in privilege.

The person just expressed his or her opinion, and bandying words like "privilege" shuts down communication by route of shaming someone.

Not everyone is LGBT+, ethnic minority.

If someone was to offer someone $20 million per year to do a job in Kansas, I guess many people would turn it down to make a point, but no reason to crap over someone who wants to make that $20 million.

The fact of the matter is that in most red states, there are blue cities.

Texas - Austin (Travis County) - 72.8% voted for Joe Biden
Georgia - Atlanta (Fulton County) - 72.6% voted for Joe Biden
Arizona - Phoenix (Maricopa County) - 50.3% voted for Joe Biden
North Carolina - Charlotte (Mecklenburg County) - 67.5% voted for Joe Biden
Tennessee - Nashville (Davidson County) - 61.7% voted for Joe Biden
Florida - Miami (Miami-Dade County) - 53.3% voted for Joe Biden
Ohio - Cleveland (Cuyahoga County) - 68.1% voted for Joe Biden
Indiana - Indianapolis (Marion County) - 60.2% voted for Joe Biden
Missouri - Kansas City (Jackson County) - 60.7% voted for Joe Biden
Utah - Salt Lake City (Salt Lake County) - 62.9% voted for Joe Biden

And remember, geographically, California is MAJORLY red. Look at the last election map. What happens if someone moves there. Sure, you get abortion in California, but your neighbors are going to still be hard-core MAGA Republicans.

I must say, it is extremely disheartening when people throw around words like "privilege" just as an easy way to shut down communication by shame. I know you'll most likely deny it, what else can you do, but it is what it is. So I'd appreciate it if people would argue their case without these types of coded words. Just my opinion, don't tell me I'm privileged or misogynist or transphobic or fat-shaming or the million other words designed to immediately shut down a conversation by name-calling. I mean, I know that's the game these days - continual virtue signalling, de-platforming, gotchas for showing the world how virtuous one is and tallying up one's "I'm good" checkmarks. And if you say you aren't or that isn't the purpose...right, ok, sure. If you say so. Whatever you say. I believe you. Right.
Your last idea, that these models’ neurons are all connected in some way, makes me somewhat sceptical of this research by OpenAI. And that their technique of analysis may need to be more fractal or expansive to include groups of neurons, moving all the way up to the entire model.

Great technology demos. Looks like this is the first step to a WebGPU based Shadertoy [1] alternative. I will definitely compare the demos with my experiments [2].

I have a good feeling about WebGPU. Not only inside the browser, but also outside. A modern standardised interface for all platforms. And it is relatively easy to use, considering the complexity that the interface has to represent.

I think you're off by a couple orders of magnitude there. 25e3 errors/(1e9 h * 1e6 b) = 25e-12 errors/hour/bit, ~~or 4 errors/hour/terabyte.~~

"There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope.

Toys or not, they are incredibly powerful devices that are very much locked down for some arbitrary reasons.

Any sort of basic interaction outside of their own ecosystem even through established standards and protocols is made difficult or impossible.

Case in point, I wanted to transfer a pic from an Android phone to an IPhone and was surprised to find that ios doesn't allow bluetooth file transfer!

It is completely ridiculous to think that you need to involve a third-party app/service or device to transfer small amounts of data between two very expensive communication devices sitting next to each other.
That’s interesting - we have them in place at several occasions here in Germany (as the article mentioned Europe). They work the other way round here, though: They are green, and will turn red if you speed. And yes, most of the time, people will match the speed so that it will stay green.

However, depending on the implementation, sometimes you can get away with speeding, and the cars after you will be stopped.

We need an update of Parkinson's law:

Software expands to occupy all hardware available. If you throw more hardware at the problem, you get bloated software.

It happens everywhere. Powerful clients led to bloated web apps. Huge data centers led to "micro service and devops" bloat. How many layers of software do I need to run code that actually handles business logic? 'Everything-as-code' sounds great when your tool box is knowing how to write code.

95% of the actual, real world problems could be solved by spreadsheets and email. But when you pump productivity gains into capital returns and keep people working the same hours as a century before, busywork goes through the roof.

Bloat everywhere.
Comment by the author (from the last time this happened) seemed helpful:

"OP here. Unless you work for a certificate authority or a web browser, this event will have zero impact on you. While this particular CT log has failed, there are many other CT logs, and certificates are required to be logged to 2-3 different logs (depending on certificate lifetime) so that if a log fails web browsers can rely on one of the other logs to ensure the certificate is publicly logged.

This is the 8th log to fail (although the first caused by a bit flip), and log failure has never caused a user-facing certificate error. The overall CT ecosystem has proven very resilient, even if a bit flip can take out an individual log.

(P.S. No one knows if it was really a cosmic ray or not. But it's almost certainly a random hardware error rather than a software bug, and cosmic ray is just the informal term people like to use for unexplained hardware bit flips.)"

That kind of fear is not what I want to impart my children. Life becomes so small and dark when living life like that. But I get that I’m not the average parent. We already have chickens in the backyard.

Hen pecking don’t really hurt. They are more likely to run away from you. If you don’t pet them on their head, they won’t take it as establishing pecking order. Their claws only come out when they are raising chicks — as any mother caring for her young will do.

It’s the roosters you have to watch for, and you don’t need them in a flock. Dealing with roosters is trainable — using a mop is unreasonably effective with communicating with roosters because they think it is a giant rooster.

Disease is something you take care of by keeping the coop clean, and letting the chickens forage — pasture raising them.

But for my children, I think it is very important for them to know where food really comes from, and it’s not the grocery store.

> The likelihood of a server just randomly disappearing is incredibly low.

Everything else aside, this is completely untrue.

I self-hosted my first fediverse account on Mastodon and got fed up with the complexity of it for a single person instance and shut it off one day (2018 or so?).

On another account at some point 50% of my followed people vanished because 2 servers where everyone in that bubble were on just went offline. Took a while to recreate the list manually.

This may be anecdotal but I've seen it happen very often. Also people on small instances blocking mastodon.social for its mod policies comes close to this experience.

When you notice that X person is "dumping sizable amounts of stock", and use that as your foundation for a wave of further speculation, the first thing you should consider doing is looking at the actual filing[0].

Which of course contains the pertinent information: "This transaction was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on 11/23/2022."

So did this person "dump" stock? Sure. Did they choose to do it at this particular point in time? No, a predetermined trading plan did.

Why is this comment necessary on every Julia-related post? I don't even use Julia outside tutorials but this adds no value beyond things that have already been said N number of times.

Every programming language doesn't need to become _the_ language to do something. They are experiments in how to best express what you want to compute. Even if Julia never takes off, they explore multiple directions other languages might want to implement - multiple dispatch for polymorphism, nested parallelism, macros so you can create DSLs from regular Julia code, and so much more. Asserting that Julia is only successful if everyone is using it is just super reductive.
