At least with the states imposing regulations it's limited to that state. I don't see how Colorado effects neighboring states that presumably are doing what they are supposed to do. If Wyoming is running controlled burns but Colorado is not, then (admittedly in this very simple thought) the fires will be more easily contained because they have done their diligence.

The citizens of that state should step in and make the changes, not the federal government.

The so-called "real" explanation of the $600 hammer doesn't make the story any better.

The hammer did indeed cost $435. If the government wanted to buy another one, the contractor would have charged them an extra $435. Just because the extra $420 was "R&D expense" for something else, doesn't make the hammer any cheaper.

Even in the most charitable explanation, this makes it impossible to know the real cost of anything. If the contractor can lump all sorts of charges into the cost of the hammer (for unrelated projects), it's a way of hiding the true cost of anything.

I've worked for companies where they took money meant for one thing, and used it for something else. "Can you record your hours on this project under this different expense code?" This stops them from going over budget and having to explain to the client, but takes the money from another project of that client instead.

The $435 hammer sounds like that. They didn't have R&D budget, but they had a hammer budget. Let's spend the $100,000 hammer budget.

About 20 years ago, a friend of mine worked on a contract for the Department of Defense in IT. He told me that he was making $1500 per day, and for the first few weeks, the government didn't have a computer for him. So he sat at a desk, reading "printed manuals" waiting for a computer to arrive. For weeks. Making $1500 per day.

The truth is worse than a $600 hammer.

Not all cmdlets implement -WhatIf. Even cmdlets with documentation stating what the -WhatIf parameter does, indicating it would work, may not support the parameter (SharePoint Server Search cmdlets are/have been very guilty of this).
I just mentioned this in another response but will say this again, generating junit test cases is what we started doing in the first place.

We have still have that in the plugin. If you are interested I can share a custom build with that enabled for you to try it out. Just send me an email or ping us on the discord group.

We also have a boilerplate test case generator which uses dummy values, and this one you can use even without using the java agent. Its the first tab you will see in the plugin window after installing.
I could be wrong but the only app that can send and receive messages through RCS on Android is Googles own messages app. Since Google runs their own RCS instance, they're the only ones interfacing with it. There's currently no API to allow for third party apps to make use of RCS.

That being said, RCS is designed to be an open standard. It's just that only Google is really pushing for it right now and running an instance of it. If I'm not mistaken, AT&T ran their own instance for a while but it was shut down in favor of Googles instance.
This is an impressive product, and I apologize, but I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant about the PR language.

I hate the phrase "Our system has over twelve 9s of durability." Amazon was the first motherfucker to claim this, but the other cloud storage folks are also culpable, but at least they mostly had the modesty to add some weasel words like "designed for" and didn't just straight up claim there was less than a 1 in a trillion chance of a durability failure.

You don't have twelve 9s of durability. Your collection of copies of data on the hard drives do, assuming they exist in a vacuum and nothing bad happens to them except the normal sorts of things that cause hard drive failures that are nice and completely independent. But it completely ignores all other sources of problem, and those are so many orders of magnitude more common that you might as well claim "God-given, perfect durability" because it'd be just as accurate.
There is the chemical imbalance and then there is the diagnosis. Complete guess, but wouldn’t be surprised if the rate of people with the imbalance has climbed less dramatically over the last several years than the rate of people being positively diagnosed.
Also that the order of columns matters in multi-column indices (although some index types can technically use any column), so the first column in the list should be something like a partition key or something that will slice down the data a lot.
They don't? All the tech companies I hear about having unions are American. (They are also big I suppose, but when I worked at Arm in the UK there were frequently outsiders sort of 'protesting' for employees to join. I was never aware of anyone caring who worked there.)

It seems weird to me to have professional unions, doctors are an outlier there, where it's common, and (partly I suppose because) there isn't a professional institution (which overlap slightly) - it's split between unions and the GMC (licencing body, and as a doctor you'd whistle-blow to them for example).

I'd like to see more software engineers be professionally registered, and it be more worthwhile to. (Yes, quite chicken-and-egg I'm sure.) I'm a member of the IET, but to be honest their light on software-relevance. The chartership requirements for example seemed like they would require quite a bit of bullshitting (not lying exactly, just sort of business-speak style forcing something to fit the very specific irrelevant questions) to satisfy; I abandoned it, so far at least.
Correct, although :not() had a massive upgrade only a couple of years ago with complex selectors support.

Prior to the change you could only pass a "simple selector" that only matched against the one node, such as :not(.something).

However you can now do :not(ul > li p.something)

ocornut's own bulletpoints are incoherent. He can call it whatever he wants, it doesn't mean it's meaningful.

The fact that he's designed a retained mode library with an immediate mode API doesn't mean that it doesn't have literally the same limitations, because he doesn't expose the abstractions to you to actually do meaningful retained work.

I don't care what made up paradigm someone else has invented.

Anyone who was doing immediate mode graphics programming before shader based pipelines knows exactly what it is, because you would have used the APIs by standards organizations themselves.
See I tried that, still issues. Wondering if it is just a problem with internal firewalls and routing rules
I think it applies because lookups can be done by multiplying one-hot vectors (or masks) with matrices; this is roughly analogous to what happens when we multiply Q with K^T in a self-attention head.

Read this: https://e2eml.school/transformers.html#table_lookup

And then read: https://e2eml.school/transformers.html#attention

Matrix multiplication is differentiable as it is continuous. Therefore you can calculate partial derivatives of these operations. The ability to do that is what allows gradient descent optimization via the chain rule.

> Differentiable relative to what?
> What is (x) in the d(hashtable)/d(x) equation?

I think the derivative we actually care about is `∂L/∂(hashtable-lookup)` but here the `hashtable-lookup` is actually the matrix multiplication mentioned above. We want to know how much the "loss" (or error) changes with respect to each of our "lookups". Knowing how each of our "lookups" causes our model to err from the output we expect, allows us to optimise it.

Note: it's not really a "lookup" in the normal sense of the word. Hashtable lookups are discontinuous since we either have a value for a particular key or we do not. Our matrix multiplication is sort of like a fuzzy, probabilistic, continuous form of lookup in which nearby keys get partially activated based on their similarity to the query, and in which a small change in this query causes continous changes to the keys produced.

As far as my understanding of the self-attention equation (e.g. `softmax(QK^T / sqrt(d_k))V`) goes, its actually quite important that we get this fuzzy output in which lots of keys get partially activated for a particular query. If it only picked the maximum similarity and ignored the rest, there would be less information propagating through the network and it'd be harder for the network to learn relationships/interactions between inputs. This is why we scale `QK^T` by `sqrt(d_k)` in order to pass a tighter range of values into the `softmax()` function (which importantly generates probabilities that sum to 1, but contains exponentials which give it a tendency to over-emphasize the maximum value and ignore other values if they are too far apart).

> It is clear you just anti-gun and likely anti-self defense in general and instead believes only the state should have that power

Bad guess. I'm a gun owner who believes in the natural right of self defense. But guns are not a strong hobby, and taking a basic gun class is actually what made me realize I am not the type of person who wants to carry. It's just not how I'm wired. (I will, of course, do so if I have to because society devolves to that point).

> soo much disinformation spread

Walker was sleeping on a couch. Police executed a 2nd-amendment-incompatible "no knock" warrant, got pissy when Walker defended himself, and so rather than retreating they retaliated by using the place as a shooting gallery. What do I have wrong here?

The relevance to the situation is that Walker's self defense was exactly what the law indicates he should have done to preserve his rights, in light of rulings that have found the police have no duty to defend and as such that responsibility falls entirely on the individual.

> That would imply [the police] have a warrant which most likely means they have already busted down the door negating my policy in the first place.

The police can have an arrest warrant, and not just immediately bust down your door. This might be one of the reasons you'd want to preemptively answer your door, rather than getting your home unnecessarily damaged. Or maybe they're coming to notify you about a family member who was hurt. Or maybe someone is looking for a lost dog and you want to be a good neighbor. Or maybe you were about to go out and do some errands or yard work and don't want to wait 10 minutes for the Jehovah’s Witnesses to give up. Or maybe girl scout cookies.

> There is no indication that the persons were armed

I took a guess at the likely equipment of private security that would be part of their imposing image, to make an example of something that would be pretty clear cut and relatively easy to enforce.

> Nor am I clear how your proposes law would even be enforced

You make a police report, give them video evidence of someone coming to your house uninvited and armed, and they get a $500 fine or whatever. It doesn't turn into a high stakes criminal trial extravaganza because it's a misdemeanor that applies before escalation, rather than a capital crime xor completely innocent based on minute details after an escalation.

But yes one could certainly write a better tailored law to criminalize extortion by private "security" forces than the simplistic bit I threw out as an example. My point wasn't a fully fledged legal proposal, but to point out the difference between technically having rights that you can protect if you do everything exactly right, and proactive enforcement against attempts to strip you of your rights through implied coercion.

The fundamentalist "just do everything right" approach doesn't scale. It's like C and manual memory management. Sure, it's fine if you write bug free code (ie you're DJB). But moving most of the drudgery to a compiler frees you up to do more worthwhile higher level things.
I don't presume to know what they meant, but as an example of something I think fits the bill, I downloaded "Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home" and the lyrics are full of a certain type of phonetic transliteration from vernacular Afro-American English (as if it's a foreign language or something) the likes of which you would probably never see today (e.g. lots of "dat" and "dey" and "throw'd" and "de whole day" and so on).
Same here, unfortunately.
Suppose this was true, an extremely small language model would outperform small language models. Sounds like inventing a compression which compresses any input by at least one byte.

I commented about this above since this type of thinking is what I see most commonly in my anxious/depressed friends.

Really think on it deeply for a bit and you'll realize this belief can't possibly be justified rationally. Who are you to say that resources and power shouldn't be concentrated in the 1%? You say they overstep morality? That's your morality and you can't defend it rationally (no one can). Plus you can't change these things anyway, so you have no moral responsibility to do so (my morality).

Media, politicians, advertisers, etc. all instill FUD to make you feel this way so the default option is pessimism. Try optimism. It may be wrong, but pessimism may be wrong as well and no one will ever find out so why even care who is right?
Here is the update from the student as of yesterday:

"Situation is (mostly) resolved

In a meeting with the Prof, and several administrative officials we learned several key points.

It was initially thought the entire class’s diplomas were on hold but it was actually a little over half of the class

The diplomas are in “hold” status until an “investigation into each individual is completed”

The school stated they weren’t barring anyone from graduating/ leaving school because the diplomas are in hold and not yet formally denied.

I have spoken to several students so far and as of the writing of this comment, 1 student has been exonerated through the use of timestamps in google docs and while their diploma is not released yet it should be.

Admin staff also stated that at least 2 students came forward and admitted to using chat gpt during the semester. This no doubt greatly complicates the situation for those who did not.

In other news, the university is well aware of this reddit post, and I believe this is the reason the university has started actively trying to exonerate people. That said, thanks to all who offered feedback and great thanks to the media companies who reached out to them with questions, this no doubt, forced their hands.

Allegedly several people have sent the professor threatening emails, and I have to be the first to say, that is not cool. I greatly thank people for the support but that is not what this is about.

Also heard from professor that his job may or may not exist after today due to his foul language and unprofessional communications with students but not due to the AI accusations.

Finally, the prof issued an apology to the 1 student exonerated so far and it appears the school is well aware they are not yet equipping to deal with AI in an academic setting, and this will be a HUGE learning day for not just A&M commerce but the system as a whole. My goal for today is to ensure all the other students receive exoneration if they so deserve."
I'm not being sarcastic. They've had 3 "waves" where they either threw away a whole bunch of stuff or outright started from scratch. Not to mention the ever changing libraries (there is no stability). I'm obviously not talking about this one feature, but with a history like that, why expend the effort, there's basically no guarantee how long your contribution is going to last.
There are controlled burns around UCSC and towards Big Basin every year. Also, not all of the 1500 structures that burned were housing that needed rebuilt (think old sheds, etc)... and there are few to no houses in Big Basin anyway. Those owners that arent rebuilding from CZU fire have many reasons not to but rarely is it because they arent allowed a permit.

There is truth to the uniqueness of certain requirements driving up expenses.

When you want a specific toilet seat component https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/the-... made to very some specific specs with a unit quantity of 1-3 with no inhouse production capability, and you need to reverse-engineer the existing one to make the new one, create a model, test it, research the initial design specs upon which it was based, etc., you're going to pay through the nose for it.

Now, if you can 3d print it but have already done all the upfront work and have a great 3d design that has been tested, then you may be able to print it cheaply, but legacy military & aerospace designs may not even exist in CAD designs.

It has to do with the way text is tokenized into discrete groups and not individual characters. One way to try overcoming this problem is to ask the model to break each word into individual spaced characters as an intermediary step.

Like to view what browser versions your users are using, in UA you just go to the browser page and click the browser and it lists the versions and number of users. In GA4... good fucking luck, you need to make some weird custom report where you need to select the right parts of your data and tell it whether they are "metrics" or "dimensions" or "rows" or "columns" or "values" or "filters" or "segment comparisons". It's a nightmare. And it's like that for basically everything other than the premade UIs, which feel like they are oversimplified and targeted more towards apps than websites.
