Vanilla options are hundreds of years old, but Myron Scholes (of the ubiquitous Black-Scholes pricing model) went on to be principal at LTCM.
> Are you arguing that voters should continue supporting "establishment stooges" because hoping for change is pointless?

No, if I was saying that I ... would have said that.
Hypothetically, you could setup (maybe with crypto) a rewards system for people who contribute content, add storage to the network, do transcoding, etc, and then allow other people who don't want to do any of that to simply pay for accessing the mesh network. That would open up a flow of funds that the development organization could take a percentage of.

That being said, it's likely just a lawsuit honeypot at that point, so mostly a daydream :)
It’s a bit of an open question as to how much of that data is: high quality, unique, and available. It could be that OpenAI used most of what satisfies those constraints. Training on low quality data won’t help improve its accuracy on queries, nor will duplicative data.
Sheepish
The article doesn’t mention what level of difficulty the blind lady had to deal with.

Do you think that maybe, there’s a middle ground where poor disabled people don’t get hassled, but people who do impact the quality of life do get punished appropriately. My guess is that the spitter was a known problem resident, and this was used as an excuse or the final straw to get him out. As bad as spitting is, I wouldn’t want someone to lose their housing for a single incident like this.

What wasn’t mentioned, was how much this ai costs in comparison to how much it might cost to just review the footage when an actual problem is caused.

It isn’t a case of ai surveillance or nothing. The whole issue comes down to under resourced, or plain incompetent management. This is just an expensive bandaid.
Stay away from the eels. They keep their secrets.
On a related note, I had a OCZ SSD back in the days which bricked itself all of a sudden. I was running nightly full-disk cloning of my disk via TrueImage, in addition to "realtime" backup of my user directory via Crashplan (back when they were good), so I was back up and running in less than 30 minutes with no important data loss.

I know there are tools like Restic that can do what Crashplan did, but what's the TrueImage equivalent for Linux? Ie something I can use to clone my primary disk nightly in the background, including boot partition, incrementally with periodic full clones, and that supports resizing partitions (both up and down) in case the replacement disk isn't of equal size?

I know of Clonezilla but from their front page it can't do incremental which is a showstopper. With TrueImage each incremental image takes only about 2-3GB per day on average, full is 500GB. It also seems to only support resizing up partitions which isn't great as it means I can't easily use old disks as emergency restore targets like I did when my OCZ died.

I know ZFS root + send/receive is an option but as much as I like ZFS, I'm not comfortable running it on root yet.
I've worked with the various LLMS quite a lot at this point (for someone who doesn't do it professionally ... well, I guess I sort of do ... but not for any of the companies who make them.) Anyway, it's amazing how close these are to what our old (i.e., GOFAI) Spreading Activation models form the 1970s would do. You can wikipedia it FMI, but in practice the SA models would be loaded up with a context, and then the SA would keep it one track for a while, but as you got farther from the priming context it was very very hard to get it not to eventually spin off into some quasi-relevant confabulation. I think that the embeddings is just a modern way of creating a non-discrete semantic net, and the GPT is just implementing the moral equivalent of spreading activation.
"He told me that in 1886 he had invented an original system of numbering and that in a very few days he had gone beyond the twenty-four-thousand mark. He had not written it down, since anything he thought of once would never be lost to him. His first stimulus was, I think, his discomfort at the fact that the famous thirty-three gauchos of Uruguayan history should require two signs and two words, in place of a single word and a single sign. He then applied this absurd principle to the other numbers. In place of seven thousand thirteen, he would say (for example) Maximo Perez; in place of seven thousand fourteen, The Railroad; other numbers were Luis Melian Lafinur, Olimar, sulphur, the reins, the whale, the gas, the caldron, Napoleon, Agustin de Vedia. In place
of five hundred, he would say nine. Each word had a particular sign, a kind of mark; the last in the series were very complicated ... I tried to explain to him that this rhapsody of incoherent terms was precisely the opposite of a system of numbers."

This is why I continue to support them despite all their issues. Not because I trust them to do the right thing out of principles at all, but just because their financial interests are more aligned with the open web than the other big tech companies.
RYM is an absolute gem. I’ve used it nearly every day since first hearing about it a year ago or so.

Yes, the decline of the US industry is also correlated with the decline of engineering. There are fewer and fewer people interested in becoming engineers, and when it happens it is software engineering and financial engineering as you said (which is great, but not the engineering you need for industrial production).
A nerd? (From a fellow nerd)
But the numbering doesn’t really follow the usual positional aspects of binary. You would expect that the hexagram in the second position, given the first hexagram would be either 夬 (43) or 姤 (44) depending on whether you’re big-endian or little-endian. For that matter, the first hexagram should be number 0 for it to be a binary system. Just because you have an 2^n symbols doesn’t automatically make you binary.
Start asking maintainers for SBOMs (this is rhetorical; please don't) and you'll find out how disinterested they are in doing even more work for others. They understand that there's a problem, but don't have the will to deal with extra work when they're already short on time.

Open source projects tend to be maintained by a tiny number of people who are scratching their own itch, not signing up for more barriers.
Do you mean convex?

Also, light in fiber moves significantly slower than light in a vacuum (or even air). HFT has been utilizing that fact for a while now.

The distance in altitude does increase the length, but not by enough to negate the effect of the faster speed.
Page 7: How easy or difficult is it for the following people to use their free speech rights without consequence in America today? [0: very difficult, 10: very easy]

According to Democrats, it's very easy for white supremacists (5.6), but much harder for LGBTQ people (3.9) and BLM activists (3.1).

How many open white supremacists are in high positions of government? Or received donations and statements of support to their cause by multinational corporations? Are there official months honoring white supremacy?

Bard also seems like a reasonable competitor to chat gpt.

As someone with kids YouTube is king.

Google search and ad network could be declining, Facebook did certainly enter their market and take some share. But the revenue per employee is high , and unlike say ibm of the past I don’t think google yet is in a decline like them - and ibms decline started in the 90s and they are still around.

I’m not the biggest google fan but even if they shrunk by half with their cash pile it will only take buying a growing company, or one more good investment to keep going.
To take down an entrenched competitor, aiming at the center of their core competency doesn't work. You have to offer something better, something they can't duplicate because it doesn't fit well with their core competency.
Sort of. It would be more like firing up Netflix, but it has every piece of content ever in it. No choosing to download anything, no real notion of a personal library of content (maybe favoriting or something for UX I guess)...just a infinite mesh of content, powered by a distributed network, with economics involved to incentivize everyone to either consume the content or help host the network.
100% agree - the magic comes when you constrain, inform, and integrate them in a feedback cycle with various multimodal inputs and classical optimization, solvers, agents, inference engines, etc. The criticism seems to be that this solution to a problem space doesn’t solve all problem spaces we’ve already done a good job solving and ignoring the fact it solves the spaces we have done a crap job solving. The fact it’s so powerful by itself is amazing. As we integrate it tightly with all the other techniques of the last 80 years of computing the emergent abilities will be mind-blowing. What baffles me is how few people seem to see it clearly.
Japan has a nearly 99% conviction rate, which tells you a lot about their justice process. It is not good to be arrested in Japan, even when you are innocent. You can be held for long periods without trial as well, essentially serving time with no certainty that you were actually in the wrong.
Best demo would be to take some famous photo, find its position in gan-space then move it around.
> The problem is apparently that studies only use change in weight instead of body composition

Misinformation. Many of the studies track total fat, lean body mass, visceral fat, and literally dozens of other secondary outcomes/endpoints. See an example of such results here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/results/NCT03548935

This has already been covered yesterday in sibling comments about the NCT03548935 study and Peter Attia being in general a source of misinformation.

Here are some other semaglutide studies which track lean body mass specifically: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=Semaglutide&term...

Yep, that sounds pretty illiberal. Again, I'm all for it, but it seems pretty tough to justify it in the modern US where personal liberty is considered quite sacrosanct. I imagine we're sooner to allow them access to guns than provide long-term healthcare for able-bodied adults.
Wonder how does it compare to DynamoDB
Watching the video is entirely different than playing the game, in my own experience as a gamer. If you’re not in control then you’re not playing. It’s not the same thing. Watching someone else play is always different from playing for yourself.

My repo is relatively old, gcc 9.2.0. Not that there's anything much wrong with gcc from August 2019! I've been using gcc since 2002.

But it doesn't really matter. There is no support in the C language for RVV 0.7.1, you just have to write either plain assembly language or inline asm for your RVV code. Which means you need a binutils that supports RVV 0.7.1 to assemble your vector code, but you can compile the rest of your program with the latest upstream gcc. Then you can link the .o files.

Note that even though there is support for RVV 1.0 "intrinsic functions" in C compilers, SiFive just submitted RVV 1.0 support for FFmpeg and it's written in pure assembly language.

How are you defining “drug”? Or, I guess maybe I should be asking “how is ‘drug’ defined in the field which is the context that your statement that it doesn’t make sense to classify alcohol as a ‘drug’?” if you are using a standard definition like that?

I think I’ve heard that the word pharmakon can be translated as any of [poison, medicine, drug, paint]? That’s I guess not really relevant, but I wanted to mention it because all 4 of those translations seem relevant to your comment, and this amused me.

Shooting yourself in the foot with immigration policy is the default, not the exception.

Roughly speaking, developed countries want to welcome the immigrants who would contribute to the economy and reject the ones who would be a burden. But it's difficult to achieve that with a single set of policies and a single immigration authority. Usually you end up either encouraging or discouraging immigration categorically. Either the culture in the immigration authority leans towards accepting anyone who could plausibly meet the criteria, or it's constantly looking for excuses to reject any application. Most countries tend to choose the latter.
HFT is frustrating since it creates dubious value and eats up a lot of technical talent in the process

I don't think there's a reasonable way to stamp it out, though.. I guess if IEX's anti-HFT strategies were more ubiquitous it'd transform the HFT industry and maybe calm it down a little?
Watching a full play through of a visual novel recreates most of the experience of playing the visual novel. Watching someone play Madden 2023, less so.

Congrats to the Chinese, that's how we maintain a healthy competition. People in USA should take this as a sign they need to step up their game and invest more in science.
Light travels at ~0.8C through fiber optics, whereas it travels at very close to C through the atmosphere and C in space.

You need to make up for the extra ~200 miles going up and down, as well as the extra curvature of the satellites orbital shell vs the ground. But, it is doable, assuming you can relay the signal fast enough from satellite to satellite. Fiber optics needs to also be boosted on long routes, I'm not sure how that affects latency. But at the very least, speed of light up/over/down is faster than .8C for 7000 miles around the earth
Nobody is going to start the next rentec after reading this article, but for people new to the subject I think it is quite an approachable intro to some of the practicalities of market microstructure and how they affect trading strategies.
*Arr is automation. Add a TV show, connect some pieces together and your favorite TV show gets downloaded, catagorized and added to your own private Netflix server (Plex).

Sonarr? TV shows. Radarr? Movies. Books. Music. Etc.

"missing something obvious" the UX might be horrible... but once you set it up? you don't have to look at it.

"And I see people host yet another tiles UI (Plex/Jellyfin)" if all you think Plex is a "tiles UI" then there's no wonder you don't understand it... I have hundreds of movies, dozens of shows, audio books, music, etc in Plex and all the metadata gets automatically added and I can automatically play anything on my phone, tv, etc.

Oh... my friends/family has access to my Plex library as well so they can request and watch when they want.

Plex does transcoding and all that fun stuff.

You're missing all the details that go miles beyond a "tiles UI".
How old do you think he is supposed to be?
It's been on preorder in China for a month.

$1600 with 32 GB RAM

$1900 with 128 GB RAM

Yeah, it's not $100, but it's not $10k either.

On highly parallel tasks such as being a web server or cmake/ninja-based software compilation it should give a 12-16 core x86 such as Ryzen 9 7900, 7900x, 7950x a run for its money. Complete machines with one of those tend to cost $2k+.

Thanks for the context. It’s great that vi bindings help you. Is it fair to think of it as a assistive technology in your case? Do you know others in your situation who use vi bindings?

I was definitely on team vi in the Great Emacs Wars, but it’s not my preferred way of editing any more. Nevertheless it’s something that I know quite well, and this conversation has really opened my eyes to the idea that this sort of thing can help people.
The speed of light in vacuum is faster than in fiber optic cable, although presumably there are already microwave signaling networks like someone else mentioned
This sounds similar to what RealPage does in the U.S. with apartment rents: https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-r.... After the Propublica story came out, the U.S. Department of Justice started investigating it as essentially collusion-via-3rd-party.
home page could use some improvements. Again, all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

A real world example: You are a dev at a real estate software company. You want to allow your users to send an email, send a text, and perform a webhook when a lead signs up. We have created developer tools (API, SDK, UI components) so you can accomplish this in your app with ease.

Hope that helps... questions welcome!

This is super cool, I would love to implement something like this. Are you willing to post the node red yaml for it?
In a nutshell, you trade in the various guarantees relational databases provide, like transactions, relational integrity, and high levels of queryability for higher performance on what a key/value store can do, simplicity of API, and some things that can be easier for the system to provide precisely because it is offering fewer guarantees. Particularly distribution... SQL is hard to distribute precisely because of the guarantees it offers.

When to use it? You must be sure you have a case where the additional guarantees relationship databases provide are not necessary, and you either need the simplicity of usage or deployment. Or in rare cases, speed, but whereas most people seem to act as if this the main reason, I consider it a relatively poor reason. A relational DB with its guarantees turned off (i.e., no relations, no transactions, tables with just a key and a value) perform fairly closely to a key/value store for a wide range of scaling needs. There is a top end where this matters, but fewer programmers need this than think they need this. Still, it is a valid concern, and if you don't need relational guarantees it may let you scale down the instance size.

Most of the cases I see where key/value stores are a good choice relate more to the simplicity than performance. I love me my Postgres, but nothing compares to the simplicity of just tossing up a Memcache somewhere and solving my problem, if that's what my problem calls for. No schema, no migrations, an API so simple my local programming language may well simply integrate it with my native associative array syntax... if you are careful to use it only where you aren't going to need relational functionality the bang for the buck can be very nice.
Another simple way to test your blind spot:

1. Close your left eye.

2. Extend your right arm in front of you, perpendicular to your body.

3. Stick your thumb up, parallel to your body. It should be aligned with your right eye.

4. Keep looking straight ahead and slowly increase the angle on your arm, moving it to the right.

Your thumb will disappear from view, though you can still see your arm. Invert the left/right positions in the instructions for the other side.

Wikipedia also has a quick test: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_(vision)#Blind_spot...

Yes, that might happen.
Sounds weird, because the path is longer, but light is 50% slower in glass fibers than in vacuum.
I've been thinking about this lately and it seems to me that what these models are very good at is generating text that has the right structure, but of all the permutations with the right structure only a few actually contain useful and correct information and it only hits on those by chance.

And, since the real value in communication is the information contained, that puts a fairly low ceiling on the value of their output. If it can't be trusted without careful review by someone that really understands the subject and can flag mistakes then it can never truly replace people in any role where correctness matters and that's most of the roles with a lot of economic value.
A concrete example would be a users shopping cart, as they build it. You don’t need the niceties of a fully ACID compliant DB, you need write performance, and extremely high availability.

That was at least a chief use case spotlighted in the original Dynamo paper by Amazon that what the precursor to AWS’ DynamoDB paper.

Not to say that couldn’t be done with Postgres but of course they were dealing with insane scale on Amazon Day.
Curiously, I came across this today, about the same project in LA: https://walkingtheworld.substack.com/p/why-the-us-cant-have-...
They were really expensive. Many of their customers were first wave AI shop, so when they shut down that was alot of revenue. I think sgi took the graphics market from them
The reality is decent work conditions should be built in and any "cost" spread across all customers (and heaven forbid reduce Amazon's margins a tiny amount).
