An interesting thought. Though it’s not a binary property. I’m also not sure how many people care how the sausage is made. I don’t.
As a generalisation, get fit in the gym, lose weight in the kitchen.

Whilst it is possible to lose weight by eating a similar diet and increasing exercise you just end up someone who is fitter but still eating what will almost certainly be a poor diet.

Most people are overweight because they have a poor or terrible diet, not because they don't do enough exercise. (Although to be fit or healthy you need to tackle both.)

(Again this is a generalisation. There are many reasons why people are overweight. I am, and I'm changing my diet and the amount of exercise I do to sort this out.)
The business model revolves around ads, and requires 'capturing' as many users as possible on the platform to be able to target effectively.

And then the next evolution of this model hinges on unproven, still in development, cutting edge technology that has huge upfront monetary costs for anyone who wants to participate in it.

I'm no business expert, but this looks like the perfect way of doing the exact opposite of what the ads business model requires.

> Some of the characters in the novel may be downright evil and do evil things, including rape, torture, and murder. One popular example is Game of Thrones in which many unethical acts are performed. But many aligned models will refuse to help with writing such content. Consider roleplay and particularly, erotic roleplay. This is a legitimate, fair, and legal use for a model…

This was an interesting technical read, but you are doing yourself zero favours if you frame your endeavour, what ever it is, in these terms.

If you want to write that kind of stuff you can; do you really need a model to generate an endless stream of it?

Seems a bit meh frankly.

I do agree open models enable things, but… I dunno, this feels like generating 100s of images of girls with gigantic breasts using stable diffusion.

I'm Making Thousands Using AI to Write Books
They already do this. The core has 4 or 5 decoders that work in parallel to decode up to 16 instruction bytes, and only the first one can handle more complex instructions. If there is a complex instruction after the first slot in the byte chunk, it realigns the instruction stream (how's that for technobabble?) so the first decoder gets the complex instruction in the next cycle.

This means to exploit your processor's full decode performance you have to reorder your instructions so the complex ones are the first in each 16-byte group, or something like that.

Can you tell us more about using a Steam Deck this way?

Do you often use the terminal (or something like VS Code Remote extension) to do builds on a beefier machine, or do you do all your development literally on the SteamDeck hardware using tools like Distrobox? And what kind of development do you do?

I ask because I need to get a new laptop, but only for the once or twice per month I go physically to the office, and was thinking a Steam Deck might make more sense than a traditional laptop that would be idle ~340 days of the year. (I can almost always get a monitor and external keyboard at the office, so it would be a rare day that I was actually stuck with the 1280×800 screen.)

Sure, I agree, but not by ignoring laws. The ends do not justify the means.

It's just ridiculous, being able to completely ignore software license terms because "you" did not read the code, "you" got the code from a statistic model from those sources with licenses. It's license laundering.

It is fine, even if all the energy is created by fossil fuel plants:

1) Large power plants + transmission + charging your electric car + driving your wheels is usually more efficient than small ICE engines.

2) Even if the grid is dirty, if many cars are electric, once we make the grid cleaner, those cars automatically become cleaner. Otherwise, we would have to replace grid power generation & cars both.

3) Power plants are (usually) far from population centers, ICE cars spew exhaust everywhere, all the time.

Electrification of cars is a net good. All the time.
Don't really see why people with solar that are connected to the grid actually want to install batteries at all. There's the cost, fire risk, and just the simple alternative of selling excess production for free/discounted grid usage at other times. You're still saving the planet to the same degree, and doing it more cheaply too, with fewer things to go wrong.

Yes, you can use the same convention in React (or rather use React with the same convention), this is mentioned in the description actually.

As far as "prop drilling" goes, I never understood what is the problem that some people have with it.

If you just put your state in one object its just one more param that you have to pass to components. Do we really need a big-ass framework just because of one extra param.

Also, by passing state explicitly, you get a clear visibility over which component needs what. And it also allows you to restrict which component uses which parts of the state.
This.

I have written a number of documents recently that are AI assisted but definitely my own work. I use the LLM to help me cross reference topics, clean up some of the language, improve the flow and prepare for the potential follow-up discussions but the arguments and recommendations are still mine. Is this AI or not?

Side note: I just prepared a recommendation for an org change and had the AI argue against it, as well as provide responses. Some were good and some were weak but it was extremely useful and quite fun.

Not necessarily. Jewish prayer requires a quorum of ten, and requires communal institutions for ritual baths.

Those were the spearheads, I would say. Trump represented more the "nationalism-but-profiting-from-globalizationism" type to me. There was certainly more protectionism in his policies than neoliberalism (originally) intended.
Formality used to be very important in language in less egalitarian societies, so it's really an artefact. I have seen it argued that (in German at least) gender can help native speakers with word recognition - i.e. it's easier to differentiate die Brücke and der Bruder with the articles than without.

But it's interesting to speculate on what English does which could be considered pointless:
* Gendered pronouns (he/she/it) - some languages e.g. Persian/Farsi do with a single pronoun for both.
* Number agreement for 3rd person verbs - i.e. he goes but they go.
* The continuous aspect. In many languages the expressions 'I run' and 'I am running' are identical.
* Articles. 'A cat sat on the mat.' Many languages do without these words and rely on context.
* Required tense marking. 'I speak', 'I will speak', 'I have spoken'. Some languages make the distinction optional - i.e. 'I speak' can mean 'Today I speak', 'Tomorrow I speak', 'Yesterday I speak'.

Or things which could be useful to introduce to English:
* Animate/Inanimate pronouns - i.e. a formal distinction between 'it' (used for objects) and singular-'they' (used for humans and similar).
* An actual second-person plural - like y'all, yous, etc. rather than 'You' functioning as both singular and plural.
* A distinction between we (including the person to whom you are speaking) and we (excluding that person). 'We are going to the zoo tomorrow' - does that mean me and you, or me and my family?
* A grammatically distinct future form - 'I walk' -> 'I have walked' in the past tense, changing walk to walked, but 'I will walk' in the future using the same form as the present.

Nuclear secrecy is a fascinating blog about this sort of thing. The designation “top secret” was first used for the Manhattan project, which of course the military developed in secret, and then unleashed upon an unsuspecting world by announcing it had destroyed the two Japanese cities.

But still to this day, all the nuclear weapons stuff is shrouded in mystery and secrecy. How they dispose of the waste … classified, how the bombs work, people have ideas, but all classified. The nuclear policy is also opaque and non-democratic.

In my humble opinion, it is not enough. I think we are a few steps away from exponential growth in software development speed, but it will be powered by software agents. No linear growth, exponential one. They generate specs, read specs, do PRs, do architecture planning, test code, and search for new libraries and technologies. It won't be linear growth, with no man in the loop (maybe initially), this could lead to the read Extreme programming vision, but autonomous.

> Separation of church and state doesn't mean churches can't voice their opinion or run political campaigns...

You are mixing up three things as if they are the same. Opinions are fine.

But no, churches cannot run political campaigns. They are exempt as a religious organization, and in the U.S., religious organizations, like charitable organizations, exempt from income tax cannot participate in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to a candidate for public office.

Martin Luther King, Jr., was an American citizen capable of supporting any candidate he liked. His church was not. His church was, however, as all churches are today, able to lobby. Lobbying is not campaigning. Also, they were and are able to speak out for or against executive actions of the government. Doing so is neither lobbying nor campaigning; office holders are neither legislators nor campaigners; they are actually in office.

I think it's also important to address "the right to own agents" and similar notions that would be inherently coherent with FSF-esque sense of freedom; i.e. to be truly free, one has to be able to train, fine-tune, perform inference, and ultimately customise the models that they would own on hardware that they would own.

Wouldn't this help google on second order effects tho? I guess having an AI summarizing the web would lead to less incentive to create the type of SEO junk that made searching in Google so awful in the past years.

I don't see a point to fighting against the current, it begs the question: what could possibly be achieved?
Languages drift, true. That's why you need spelling to follow, or else it only gets worse until all benefits of using an alphabet are lost.

Just do the occasional orthography cleanup every couple of decades and keep the old spelling around as deprecated until it's gone. If shifts in regional accents aren't perfectly consistent it's no big loss, their evolution will still be less inconsistent running on top of a of a non-fossilized standard orthography than without those cleanup efforts.

Really? To me, Google's image is much closer to that of Microsoft : You may hear of them in a few innovative projects, but most of what you know and use from them is boring office stuff, or personal stuff that you take for granted and don't think twice about. Having an Android or using Chrome isn't a personal statement like having an iphone or a macbook is.

And in terms of ethics, the perception of them being a force for good eroded a lot. When thinking about the typical googler, people around here will sooner think about an exec trying to skip some tax than about a techie doing innovative stuff, because that's what their media coverage is about these days in Europe.

I'll give you that Microsoft is very unlikely to go away either, unless the US govt finally remembers they have antitrust laws.
