This is quite the slipper slope fallacy.

We can absolutely have surtaxes on personal wealth that effectively limit people to a billion dollars.

We could for example have a 100% surtax on building a superyacht or buying an island in Hawaii or any political donations above $50,000.

These taxes could then just offset payroll and income taxes for lower wage citizens. Pure redistribution, tied to work.

Taxing superyachts isn't Cambodia.
Yeah, this strikes me as a typical high carb diet recommended by the government. If you eat small portions on a diet like that, you'll be constantly hungry.

Not to be a doomer here, but have you considered what it will take in mining to achieve your goal? Not the least of which is the energy required to accomplish the task.

It is worth a moment of your time to understand.

At 82kgs of copper per vehicle

1.5 billion vehicles, doubling every 20 years

80 million cars produced annually.

Even if we only made EVs starting today. It would take almost 20 years to replace the cars on the road, by which point, the number of cars being utilized would have doubled. With all the copper produced on earth.

So that doesnt take into account large trucks or the windings for the transformers to charge the vehicles, nor does it take into account increases in output. Nevertheless, it is no small feat. Our lives will not be happier, richer or healthier as a result any time soon.
You'd think so, but they're not acting like it.

Usually when I see this, it symptomatic of major organizational dysfunction of some type. One time, I was in a firm where 100% of the energy was spent on quarterly objectives for some executive bonus pay structure. No one cared if the organization lived or died, since there were always other jobs.

The ideas on the paper can be computer-generated while the prose can be the student’s own. No human or machine can read a paper like this and find the mark of artificial intelligence.
I wrote part of a Markdown editor in Rust, with the intention of bringing it to Windows 95. I have a lot of newer work I need to bring in, but the old version can be found here: https://github.com/julian-goldsmith/rustpad

It should build fine as-is for plain i586-mingw, but W95 requires a custom toolchain with a modified core crate.

I can't stand the npm ecosystem because every project can't just sit there. When I return to it, something is broken and I can only find out by debugging it via runtime.

As someone from Europe, I strongly disagree. There's a HUGE fucking difference between China having our (western) data compared to the USA. Unsure why you'd even make such a silly argument.
Not the person you are responding, but I also used Spivak for single variable. For multivariable calculus I used Marsden and Tromba.
The other Spivak is a great book, but maybe too much for a first approach to the subject.
If we ever want customers to have a fighting chance at protecting their rights against the interests of corporations, we must drastically narrow what rights can be 'waived' in an EULA. It's absurd that today you can buy a physical good and somehow some non-negotiated piece of legalese that you don't even get to read until you open the box can somehow 'authorize' them to choose what kind of ink you are allowed to put in it. This notion must die and any castles built upon it must fall.
It was indeed! I was afraid the joke would be too obscure :(
> Quite honestly, that makes me less likely to believe your solution will work. Are you training an LLM to only obey instructions within a given context, or are you training it to recognize prompt injection and avoid it?

The former. During instruction tuning, the model learns to "predict" text as if the document describes a dialogue. We then just add examples where special quotes are present, including examples where the quotes contain instructions which are ignored.

Of course there is no proof of 100% reliability. It's like a browser. You can't prove that Firefox has no security flaws. In fact, it probably has a lot of hitherto undiscovered ones. But they usually get fixed in time. And it gets increasingly difficult to find new exploits.
I’ll second this. Using RubyMine on an M2 Pro, feels faster than Vim… y’know… the vanilla non-bloated one. :P

Okay, but what if instead a library was designed to be more reasonable and intuitive, such that you didn't need to dig through its source to understand what you needed? This is the problem with "magic".

The UK equivalent of college 'GPA' is degree 'class'. The class of my undergraduate degree was determined entirely by the scores I achieved on eight 3-hour exams taken in the final few weeks of my final year.

i don't think there really is such a relative equivalency. the universe according to best current understanding doesn't have anything which resembles human death to demarcate a lifetime. you could say 'heat death' but i dont think thats a strong comparison because, very much unlike human death, its a state which is approached asymptotically; the universe at heat death will look very much like the universe half way to, or even a millionth of the way to
As I've said elsewhere, I don't think any of them was a big deal. Normal people don't send each other .com files, and users of .pl/.sh/.rs files are likely sophisticated enough to spot the difference. But tons of webmail users may click Photos.zip and open whatever it downloads. They already do in whatever phish mail they get, but thanks to autolinking now the boobytrapped links will be everywhere, including trusted sources.
You’d have to have extremely narrow taste for that to be true. It was not uncommon at all for people to be into blues and jazz which goes back further and then of course you can go all the way back to Bach. We had jazz band in high school and punk and metal bands at the local all ages places on the weekends.
Yes, because you live in the west. Again, that's not true for the rest of the world. I for sure would rather prefer China reading my stuff than the US if I was still living in the middle east, for example.
Dark Avenger came in a kit to mutate and encrypt it. Pirate BBSes had copies of it. Apple BBS in the college I attended used a flaw in ZIP to infect the IBM PC BBS abd steal passwords. I remember handing out McAffee anti-virus scanner disks for DOS to the students as I worked in the PC lab.
Using a paper written by the AI to the point of using a hallucinated reference is cheating.

What if a student writes their own outline, then asks ChatGPT to write an outline and pulls a few ideas from the AI's outline?

One answer here is that with dated rates products (I.e. all futures and options, not to mention spot ficc) is

* pricing is well understood

* shares similar risks across all products

If you add an ES perp, that might be a fine instrument in isolation, but it behaves totally differently than most other rates instruments so might be hard to fit into a portfolio than dated futures that you roll.

I ran a trading desk in the past that did both dated and perpetual products and this was a major point of focus.
> That’s better for your hard drive and torrent software than a gazillion smaller files.

Oh, that's for sure. Is there an easy way to mount .tar on Windows?

I have some library data which would benefit from serving as a single/a couple of large files, but most of the folks would be on Windows. VHDX is out of question (would be modified as soon as mounted)... maybe .iso ?
The Platinum theme used by MacOS 8-9 was probably the closest-looking to that Windows 95 look and feel. And since Windows 2000 was a combination of that old look and feel on top of a modern kernel (NT), one might argue that the Mac OS X Developer Preview was the nearest Apple equivalent.

The first two Developer Preview versions of Mac OS X used the Platinum theme, not the Aqua theme that ultimately shipped with 10.0.

Any important, linkable sources that I can read instead?
Hadn't seen The Cauchy-Schwartz Masterclass, but after a quick glance around, it seems to be very different from 99 Variations on a Proof.

The book I'm recommending is pretty far from a textbook. Rather it is an Exercises in Style type book that explores many different ways to express a mathematical proof of the same simple fact. Some of the proofs are whimsical, and others offer genuine insight. Many cover the ways that such mathematical discussions would have taken place in earlier historical periods.

In other words, 99 Variations is more like a jaunt through mathematics culture rather than a book that focuses on actual mathematical content.

I'll take a look at this book, though, because it looks quite good!

Why even erase accounts at all? Just rename them to randomized names with a prefix.
> Does school NOT consist largely of memorising facts?

Is there a single standard for "school?" I was using it as a device to separate out the difference between the two styles. I do recognize that the majority of American schools are simply memorization factories but to focus on that is to miss the argument entirely..

> If anything I see LLMs as presenting an existential threat towards models of measuring merit through memorisation

As you've essentially just repeated that same argument with this point. The types of "learning" LLMs are good at are not the types of "learning" people would _expect from a good school_.

I do believe that this will occur, but it simultaneously undercuts your previous arguments in favor of GPTs utility, as they only make sense in a world where education is _purely_ about memorization.

And sorry to reorder this, but...

> which can easily crush any test based on fact memorisation,

Well, there's also the multiple researchers who claimed success using a combination of HCQ and Azithromycin. And also the Spanish Nursing Home study.

We've been told for the past three years to Shut Up And Do What The Experts Say, but if it goes against the Specially Annointed Covid Experts suddenly Northwestern University is no good?

BTW, finally... do you know who wrote the study that said all the people in the Spanish Flu died of secondary infections? Look it up, you won't believe me.
30% of emissions are from China.

Oil companies real motivation was to manufacture scarcity, not produce as much oil as they can.

Oil companies only have good margins when there's artificial scarcity, from geopolitical turmoil, from climate change dumb policies.

It is taken for granted that oil companies lose from the climate change agenda - but when you look at the actions, they don't lose, they win.

If the climate change agenda didn't stop their competition, if geological turmoil in the middle east and Venezuela didn't reduce the oil supply, oil would be pretty cheap. The U.S. got oil independence under Trump, but then the climate change agenda under Biden rolled it back and the oil prices soared. If oil prices are higher when climate agenda and policies are implemented, it seems like we've got it backwards.

We also have it backwards regarding our control of climate change. China has 30% of global emissions. The same China that stopped it's economy for COVID. If they believed climate change is a risk to them, they would do something.

But China hardly cares. Maybe, China doesn't see it as a risk. If China isn't going to be serious about it, the only rational decisions are either that it's inevitable and out of our control or that it's not that bad. There's no future where the west miraculously turns the ship around by itself out of a disaster that's 30% out of its control. That's the real lie.

Have you ever been asked what printer to buy ?

I have family members ask to _fix_ their printers, never had one actually taking advice before buying one nor follow advice.

And the reason is simple:

- Google has a tremendous positive brand image in most people's mind, Brother means nothing outside of the elderly generation.

- Printers are seen as a commodity and get thrown at people for 30 bucks at the supermarket. They also work well for the first 30~40 prints, and while we'll bitch about printer ink price, regular people will see it as a cost of doing business and pay.

- Brother printers are reliable but actually not that good from a "what features do you have ?" customer standpoint. I ended up having a secundary HP printer for that very reason: it fits in a niche that no other sane printer maker will touch. And come to think of it, my parents bought the same HP printer after seeing use it in vacation, and they never asked about our Xerox in the living room. And yes, they buy HP cartridges (they also didn't ask me before buying...)

Large corporate purchases: nobody "buys" printer or ink. They comes with a lease and a maintenance contract, and are paid by the page. If the technician comes within 3h to fix the printer and it works ok for another 40 days, no office manager will care about what exact printers are set in the buildings.

At least it’s a fair game here. It could have been unfair if, for example, the audience cannot verify the truthfulness of the article, which would promote cheap fake but interesting articles.
Yes, and it strongly implies the fake studies where they administered one dose of Azithromycin and evaluated the patient twenty four days later in the course of Covid treatment were bs.
This I get, and have seen before (cool Mexican tv shows), but I'm more intersted in a detailed history of "USian"'s initial use and spread. So far I've only seen it on hn, but definitely more than I'd expect since it's such an odd to read word.
Some other toy-scale self-driving car projects which come with simulators in case someone cannot get the hardware:

1. Duckietown: https://www.duckietown.org/ from ETH Zurich, comes with a MOOC with all material.

3. F1TENTH: https://f1tenth.org/ probably the most popular, regularly heads physical competitions, sometimes at popular robotics conferences.

There’s Amazon DeepRacer too (https://aws.amazon.com/deepracer/) but haven’t heard anyone talk about it recently - imo it feels like a ‘AWS can handle RL for robotics’ project.

As any other robotics research areas, there’s too many projects trying to do the same thing. There are many reasons for this, although thankfully the community is converging to common hardware when cheap, high quality option is available to buy commercially.
IIRC they did that because the crypto miners were buying them all up and they wanted normal folks to be able to buy them too.

Not that big of a deal these days and I doubt they’d make it so someone couldn’t take an off the shelf GPU and play around with llamas.
I discovered it back when they were still doing screencasts (and when I was using vim) and learned some pretty cool stuff, like the m and t movements, and through it I learned about the then new kid in the neighbourhood, neovim. The author knew how to approach things and give useful examples and make everything easy to learn.

It's a bit sad to learn they haven't uploaded new content ever since.

Check out this model trained using the Open-Llama project at http://home.ustc.edu.cn/~sl9292 . This model is trained primarily on English and Chinese, but also has capabilities in other languages like Japanese and Korean.
Now, let's dive into Open-Llama. It's a truly open-source project for pre-training and instruct-tuning AI models. One of the key features of this project is its support for a wide range of model sizes, from 7B to 65B parameters.
What sets Open-Llama apart is the incorporation of performance acceleration via xformers from Llama, enabling 95% of the original Llama speed on the 65B models. In fact, for the 7B models, Open-Llama's performance surpasses the original Llama.
By providing full access to the codebase, we believe that Open-Llama will contribute greatly to the advancement of open-source AI technologies. We invite developers and researchers to join us on this exciting journey!
