Reminds me of going into a shop while visiting the U.S. and trying to buy some batteries. The employee struggled with my english accent, so I had to try to explain what batteries where. He eventually understood and exclaimed "oh, badderies!".
You are very unlikely to see a material concentration of this stuff unless you’re very close to the site of the explosion. The risks, if any, come from people handling hunks of it like armor plating and bullets .
With dogs approaching the quasi religious status, quasi sacred status of sacred cow here in America, how long before laws are passed mandating annual checkups for dogs?
You could argue letting them hold untaxed private land in perpetuity backed by government trespassing enforcement restricts other religions and atheists and establishes them, so some taxes seem to be OK or else maybe something like allow no state enforcement of their property rights, just a free for all.

Most people and courts accept that some taxation and services and property rights are fine for religions under the establishment clause.
Just imagine your root function as:

F(f_1(x_1), f_2(x_2), …, f_n(x_n))

The root function is a collection of projections acting on (x_1, x_2, …).

And the components receive the right set of coordinates to act on.

I’m not sure if it’s clearer that way though.
reinforcement learning from human fatalities
The bulk of the readings around the city are sub 100 nSv/hr with a few 113 & 139 - nothing is significantly spiking post the explosion date.

Others have pointed out pragmatic reasons for not being concerned which appear sound, I'd point out that the point source "gross count" map doesn't raise alarms - and you'd really want decent gamma spectrum data in any case - not just total counts in some energy range, but a full channel by channel spectrum measurement showing peaks in uranium breakdown products [1].

Not very creative but definitely useful, I turned an old USB inkjet printer/scanner into a networked device. I can now print from my phone or scan documents from any computer.

I did not want to have it powered on all the time, so I wrote a simple udev rule that shutdowns the Pi when the printer is turned off.

> the hippopotamus is the world's deadliest large land mammal, killing an estimated 500 people per year

I'm pretty sure that excessive consumption of beef and pork kills a lot more than 500 people per year.
The points raised in the paper are that

1) algorithmic improvements beat processing capacity. One of the examples in the paper was that $100 in training compute budget was enough to get within 2% of Google Bard performance

2) data quality (even for "tiny" data sizes) beats dataset size in improvements

Hence both aspects of the moat of large companies (dataset size and available compute) matter less than you'd expect.

In contrast the advantage of "open source"/academics/"the market", the many warm bodies trying out new strategies, yields improvements at a rapid pace that Google, even with a huge team, cannot match.
Our meat Staples here in America are very unhealthy.. we really should be aqua farming cetaceans and walruses and seals and stuff. Loaded with healthy fats... Eskimos eat pure meat and fat from these animals and they never get heart disease.. something to think about..... PostScript... Some would say we should not aquafarm cetaceans, but surely there are dumb cetaceans...
It can calculate at least https://i.imgur.com/MvXJa58.jpg
No doubt. My father would be dead if not for the advances in treatment.

He also practically changed no bad habits after the heart attack. We have got better when the heart attack happens and better at keeping people alive who want to eat pizza and drink beer all the time.
My older dog was a stray as a puppy and we give her fluoxetine(commonly called Prozac) to help with anxiety. Even after years of training we have issues with trying to walk her during daylight because she crumbles in fear. Our other dog being present gives her some confidence but they both also react more to other dogs when they think they have to protect the other, so it's a daily struggle.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet: "typically introduced to the target environment via an infected USB flash drive, thus crossing any air gap."

IMHO being connected to the internet or not doesn't play a role here.
Small flaw, where does the “naughty” start… we aren’t really doing ourselves any favours with an “I’ll know it when I see it” approach to restricted free form generative models that can be steered by users.

The mistake I see in a lot of arguments getting made online about all this is treating the AI/ML models as “whole systems” … we shouldn’t be trying to make very hard to analyse “black box” heart of the model, the bit where we’re turning statistical weights into data… this should not be assumed to do “everything”. If you want a naughty word filter, use a rejection filter from a dictionary, or bolt on a second AI/ML system tuned to catch stuff too similar to what you don’t want… but assuming all functionality can be somehow shoved into the one model is just foolish. We should have some unfettered models out there for us to use as either red-team tools to help generate content we can test safety and sanitising systems on, or otherwise use as desired…

Is there a relationship to natural and home birth trends? Don’t know but it’s something to ask.
You seem to suggest there's a bias, but you're as likely to get the "I apologize, but I can't" as the "Certainly! Here's a light-hearted joke" regardless of the people. If you explain to ChatGPT you just want a light-hearted joke, it may push back but eventually it will comply. "All it does" is navigate a latent space where artificial barriers are set in place. Sometimes it will be too zealous, but that's the trade off.
The original comment had a valid (but unpopular) opinion on VSCode - that it's a "privacy nightmare OSS trojan horse". They complained that "why people [use it] is beyond [them]", which is probably an exaggeration, as it's obvious that people use it for convenience. But still, it's a valid opinion, a little bit too idealistic for most people, but valid.

Then, there's this boss man dude who is using the business-equivalent of the female shaming strategy of denial-by-proxy - just instead of saying "I can't imagine dating someone who X", they say "I can't imagine hiring someone who X". It's the same strategy - they pretend they're the representative of all hiring managers and bosses of the world, and imply that if you have such opinions, you will never be hired, and therefore are trash and deserve to starve.

I just don't like that kind of attitude.

Congrats, you just figured out why Microsoft wanted these model limitations in the first place.
You're doing the "vaguely gesturing at imagined hypocrisy" thing.

You don't have to agree that alignment is a real issue. But for those who do think it's a real issue, it has nothing to do with morals of individuals or how one should behave interpersonally. People who are worried about alignment issues are worried about the danger unaligned AI poses to humanity; the harm which can be done by some super-intelligent system optimizing for the wrong outcome. There is nothing "ironic" about being worried about that while also being an asshole any more than it's "ironic" for someone concerned about, say, climate change and also be an asshole. People who are afraid of unaligned AI aren't afraid that it will be impolite.

I'm tired of people pretending that pointing out imaginary hypocricy is an argument. If you want to complain that someone is being mean, just do that. Don't pretend there's hypocricy involved.
It depends how tall and how overweight you're talking. I suspect most places cater for one standard deviation of height and weight. Two, maybe? Three probably not.

There's no single threshold to say you're fat and you're thin. I'm sure cinemas could put big seats in for the overweight but at some point that 99.99% person is going to visit and be too big even for that.
While I guess an uncensored language model could create something mildly illegal, an uncensored image model could probably generate highly illegal content. There is a trade-off between being uncensored and the (degree of) illegality of the content.
Treating dogs like humans is very detrimental to the dogs, more than detrimental, actively harmful.

I'm ok when seeing adults doing that to their kids (i.e. treating said kids as grown-ups), after all they're their kids and I don't have children of my own, but when I see the same sort of behaviour being transplanted to handling dogs (or pets, more generally), then I get really angry. Again, dogs, and animals, are not humans, applying "human-like treatment" to them means harming said dogs and said animals.

And more to the point of the article, as the owner of a very sensitive Border Collie myself the "secret" of avoiding separation anxiety for your dog is not to treat your every home departure like you're heading off to the Antarctic, treat it like it's nothing, like you're just going to get rid of the trash. No matter if you're gone for 5 minutes or for 4-5 hours. This applies for both leaving the house and getting back to the house.
Debatable. I knew someone who's X200 was eating 6W.
Iran’s air gapped computers for their centrifuges were hit. Stuxnet and its deployment remains one of the greatest hacks we know about. Kim Zetter wrote a good book about it.
I mostly knew it for Simon Ostrovsky in eastern Ukraine. In the recent years it has seemingly become more politically biased like many other papers, so I stopped paying attention - it simply did not stand out anymore.
[Post deleted because I can't be bothered].
I'm not talking about Victorian attitudes in particular. Sex is often considered private, even today. I'm pointing to a resolution of the apparently irony of describing violence but not sex.
You've got the order backwards.

Vice was started by three Canadian junkies (they literally called themselves that), and for years was only available in print in the hippest neighborhoods of major cities, while printing salacious material that later became published as books like "The Vice Guide to Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll" and "DOs & DON'Ts 2: 17 Years of Street Fashion Critiques". Very little reporting.

Then slowly, over the years, the reporting arm emerged as a force to be reckoned with, but it was for "cringey hipsters" first. The old, OLD readership.

Actually this one is really cleaver. The keys you see are actually a full QWERTY in the normal layout so no memorizing chords for typing English. [Shift] is just long-pressing Z so you are not completely confounding your muscle memory.
Numbers and arrows being behind a fn key seems a good trade off for the space saved. So really only `[];',/` are become chords to match `{}:@<>?` on a full keyboard.

Media seems to all be A/B testing itself into the same bland editorial slants.

What is the difference reading NYT, WaPo, Atlantic, Vice, or a dozen other NY/DC based media sites?

Vice had a unique style of coverage 10-15 years ago but that definitely ended by/in the Trump era.
> If evidence suggests that many dogs, like many humans, misbehave because they are struggling with emotions and anxiety, why do so many pet owners and trainers look to punishment as the solution, rather than addressing the emotions directly?

Same reason why so many people do the same to children - they're set in their views and are unwilling accept that they might be wrong.

Also, it's less work (at lesst in the short term). All the more reason to continue.
The end of that second paragraph is the most 2003 thing, I remember the media elevating the fear around these issues so much:

> Today, the fear is back: with al-Qaida resurgent, North Korea out of control, and nuclear rumours emanating from any number of "rogue states", we cling, at least, to the belief that not just anyone could figure out how to make an atom bomb. The trouble is that, 40 years ago, anyone did.
It did work, the military shrinked massively in every country and kept just enough defense to deter Russia from attacking.

I wonder if this differs from wolves? I sometimes think about just how much we have evolved dogs to mirror us in so many different ways.

In other words: by selecting for responsiveness to human emotions, to what degree have we made dogs' brains more like our own?

Now I'm going to cuddle my pup Henry.

Some manner of obligation to care for your pet (any pet) should exist. This has nothing to do with religion and is all about honoring the commitment you entered when you decided to take care of an animal.
I can’t speak to other religions, but Jesus did not speak against the state, or against statehood as such.

Meanwhile the Catholic Church is the largest charitable organization in the world, despite all of its problems due to consisting of deeply flawed humans.

I'm sorry but... what?

There's no believing in metaphorical realities here. It's the real life.

Being an employee is a bad bargain. You sacrifice a massive chunk of the returns from your work to your employer in the form of profits in favor of a small form of stability (or you did in the past anyways). That's just how capitalism works.

Naturally if you go above and beyond sacrificing yourself for this bad bargain, you are losing even more than you would by only doing the necessary to stay employed. Again, this is a fact, not some theory.

The made up characters are just there for the metaphor, but the underlying discussion is not made up.

I've been a Clueless for the majority of my life. I have the equivalent output of 3-4 engineers at the same level and I never got paid 3-4x the salary, even after I got promoted. It's the sad reality of capitalism.

> The piece itself doesn't say anything

Sorry but that must be a bad faith argument. Even if you disagree with the overall theory of how Sociopaths exploit Clueless and Losers to get rich, the individual pieces are more often than not 100% correct. In my view, it's spot on since it's simply a visualization of capitalism.

The problem is that Vice kind of stories are costly to produce.
And are not sensational enough to get a lot of clicks.

It's easier to do a typical 'Culture War' fear mongering type content and get easy clicks.

Also, I think we are in an echo chamber where if you don't report on comment on the latest topic, you might be perceived to belong to the other side.

May be just degree of devotion to the camp differs.

Regulation “typically only” serves the interests of incumbents? Surely that’s an overstatement, no? Personally I tend to think that the inability to move fast and break things is a good thing when it comes to, say, air travel or food safety.
I think the sweet spot are state machines that don't take "context" as inputs but have richer effects in their transitions (if we're talking about Mealy Machines).

This way, the internal behavior of the machine is still deterministic and easy to reason about.

I find it funny that in the age of "User experience" my experience of most software is terrible. I don't use all the programs out there but apart from games, which often need to perform well to sell in the first place I have constant problems with Windows, MacOS, MS Office, most web sites, Visual Studio, browsers sometimes, virus scanners, network equipment, fast food touchscreens, Android, tablets etc. it's like we have rushed to quickly to demonstrate our super-powers at the expense of stuff that just works.

I remember when desktop apps were written in desktop frameworks in the days when your PC was a Pentium 90 with 64MB of RAM and they opened quickly, they responded immediately to commands and they felt native. Despite the fact that these apps today do very little of value differently than 30 years ago bu the hardware is 1000s of times more powerful, they seem to make untold "metrics" network connections, they have no snap, they feel like massively incorrect abstractions over the hardware, they create weird user-experience and the people who sell them often don't know how to support them.

I feel we have lost our way as an Industry being seduced by what the spoiled rich companies do and applying it to our own little kingdoms instead of doing what we need to do well. We have created false demons to slay and have ended up with such a mess its actually a little embarrassing.

I guess while we lack any recognised/required industry qualifications, like Law or Medicine, we are just all doing our own things for our own reasons and unreasonably expecting everything to keep getting better. I mean, have you used Azure Devops? Who decided that it was reasonable to make a basic web app into a front-end monster that makes 100s of ajax calls?
It is absolutely possible to design those bikes, but in order to strengthen the frame you're going to have to use heavier materials and components.

So then to support a person that's double the weight, your bikes are all now also double the weight. And anyone within the average range who wanted to use a bike to pop around town is now having to put in some real effort to pedal hard on a heavy bike.
Yes I'd say Vice was.. 10-15 years ago, "dirtbag left" city hipster media.

It converged on consensus left mainstream media after that.

For GPT/Copilot style help for pandas, in notebooks REPL flow (without needing to install plugins), I built sketch.

I agree with you in general. But in this specific case, a walk by merge request should be acceptable. To anyone who is familiar with Java enought to be able to work on performance sensitive code, the described change is a no brainer. It doesn't need to be documented, it doesn't need to be discussed, I am pretty sure Intellij IDEA would highlight it as proposed change for performance reasons.
Phonetic spelling implies that there's at least one pronunciation that correlates 1:1 to spelling, but it certainly does not rule out different pronunciations. Other pronunciations can also be 1:1, if they shift in parallel ways which actually isn't that unlikely, or they can do their own thing, the existence of a 1:1 version is still helpful even there. German-speaking Swiss share their written language with Germans (with some trivial exceptions like having cleared out the ß) but they are perfectly capable of talking in a way that is 100% indecipherable for Germans who haven't spent years learning (and even when Germans have lived their half their lives there trying to adopt the local pronunciation mapping is frowned upon).

> However, fixed length instructions decrease code density, which asks more of the instruction cache.

The problem is that x86 has a lot of legacy that wastes the potential gain of variable length encoding. If I remember correctly, the code density of 64-bit x86 isn't really significantly better than 64-bit ARM, despite ARM dropping support for Thumb.

RISC-V is going to be interesting in that regard because with the latest revisions of the compressed instruction format, it can potentially beat both ARM and x86 on real-world code density, while still being easier to decode.
Israel's entire nuclear program leaked out thanks to one guy, whom they later entrapped on a cruise ship and extradited to Israel.

No buy the US keeps all the good secrets.
I understand that the topic is contentious indeed, but I agree fully. I tried to be balanced in my comment, but even hinting at a certain possible content profile caused some upset it seems.

I also see now that they've published several high quality non-political eg warzone pieces recently; that's a real loss. I'm hoping these journalists will find a new space going forward, without the other baggage.
