We used them in the Army when transferring classified docs around base. They had a handcuff hook on them. I asked a Warrant officer I worked with why we didn’t use the handcuffs. He asked me if I’d seen Mad Max.
Hackernews is viewing this too much from an American - "Oh they want to get rid of privacy" lens. The reality is that this move is to hurt the opposition party more than the BJP, but nobody in India really wants a completely surveilled currency because most of parliament is involved with dirty money (Inevitable when you get paid nothing but have insane amounts of political power).
It has already been confirmed that with the right dataset we can scale it effectively from 2k to 4K, and 4K to 8k via fine tuning (you dun even need to train a new foundation model)

We believe this can be done for 16k to way beyond 100k

Research in how RWKV handle the hidden state shows that it is barely used (imo: <5%??) meaning lots of headroom for scaling context size

(This is actively being experimented on - we dun really know the limit yet)

Sometimes that is included in the journal LaTeX template, but otherwise authors (in my field at least) typically won’t say where a paper is submitted before it’s accepted for publication there, or at the very least if it’s made it past the editorial rejection hurdle and been sent out for review

I wanted to not like Chromebooks as someone who either uses a Linux or Mac laptop, but honestly it’s great.

If you’re looking for a cheap notebook to be able to do most dev on go for it. I just developed and deployed a Rails website this evening on my 100$ Chromebook. Everything just worked.

That being said, if you want to spend as much as an Air. You might as well get the Air.

I think Google gives you a choice to get a Chromebook as your main dev laptop, so it is capable, but anything you can do on a Chromebook you will be able to do on a Mac. If I had a choice between a Chromebook or a Windows computer I would choose chrome, unless it was a gaming pc, then I would then choose Linux.
With return to office it's nowhere near enough on the west coast. Unless you hold a top position at a large corporation on the west coast you don't even have enough money to buy a house. Considering you're helping generate billions in revenue yeah, I'd say you should be being paid more.

thanks, I understand now that the company that owns/controls domain registrations (identity.digital, formerly Donuts and Afilias, allows brands to place pre-holds on any domains that fit a trademark that they own according to some trademark ownership rules.

In other words if you own CoolToy trademark, you can use IdentityDigital to prevent anyone from ever registering a domain with cooltoy in the name.

I remember talking to Blink DL about this, I think the plan is just to build an ecosystem, provide more diversity in the DL space. There are plans to make a RWKV5, they are in the open in the RWKV5 channel. From an engineering standpoint I don't really see the "reap" the value of random contributors to the project.

A while back there was a post about a randomness bug in Asheron's Call, the "Wi flag" [0]. I posted a comment there and was offered helpful answers about doing weighted randomness [1].

Completely the opposite.

- it is NOT backed directly or owned by any VC funded company

- it is 100% OSS driven by the community (Apache 2 license)

- it’s currently the top OSS chat model that can be used commercially on the chatbot arena score board

- IMO it is undertrained, so expanding the training data alone will make it much better (however for the sake of this paper, we wanted to focus on architecture not training data, so we compared similarly trained models)

And yes we do have multiple experiments and plans to make it better. It’s a list, and we will not know which is final until we try. Individual members can go to great lengths on what they are working on

For better or worse, being truly OSS means our initiatives are more disorganized then a centrally planned org
I've also been using Opnsense in some networks recently, I like it so far.

Some of the networks I work with have some older Mikrotik gear (which the Opnsense appliances are going to replace), I've just never really quite liked it - it has every feature under the sun but the interface always just seemed a bit janky to me. I might be judging a book by its cover but the software has just never felt solid...
Better to think in terms of percentages. Wages vs GDP has decreased while profits vs GDP has increased. Maybe tech is an outlier compared to the broader economy. Would be interesting to see the numbers.
I tried once, but I had to gnaw my own legs off to survive.
openstax is working on that too, for general college and AP subjects.

They're getting assigned in some courses, but I think most professors are happy assigning commercial textbooks, often knowing that they can be pirated and that most students will pirate them.

What's the justification for a professor to assign openstax Calculus instead of Stewart, for instance, other than to make a political statement?

It won't matter in another few years once teaching AIs, a hybrid of LLMs and knowledgebases and logical inference engines, can take the place of textbooks and teachers for non-specialized fields. That'll be able to handle almost all K-12 and lower level college subjects, and teach better than most human teachers. Traditional education may not matter by then, though, depending on what AI does to society.

> I follow what you're saying. What overt response could they offer?.

There’s lots they could do but they won’t because they can’t.

* Declare it war instead of a SMO although I think in reality this doesn’t change anything

* Try and take Kyiv again although I don’t think they will because I don’t think they can

* Test a nuclear weapon Russian territory as a warning. No idea why this hasn’t happen but my guess is it just bolsters support for Ukraine.

My point is the exact one you’re making despite multiple hits on Russia proper there’s no response because they are doing everything they can realistically.

That's a good point about the defined goal. I'd personally like to know if Amazon treats its white-collar workers as shitty as it treats its blue-collar ones. If so, why are they working there when tech has been so hot for the past years, but if not, does that make this a case of "voting for leopards eating people's faces off party"?

Same here— SimCity 3000’s the one that really hit the right spot gameplay-wise for me. Prettier and deeper and more polished than 2000 without departing too far from 2000’s core mechanics or simulation approach.
Granted, but that only works for a subset of all cases. Remember that FDs can also refer to sockets and other things that aren't "files". A careful programmer will ensure that all FDs get cleaned up, but even careful programmers can fall victim to corner cases.

If detecting industry consolidation was easy, we would be able to easily prevent it and have the free market do its thing. Alas, this is not the case, as definitions of markets, market share, competitors, etc., can be pretty vague.

As for the most recent spike in price of eggs a quick search showed

https://farmaction.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Farm-Action...

which yes, is prepared by the smaller competitors of the larger conglomerates, but it does present some factual information. Including very small decrease in egg production, high degree of industry consolidation, with one company controlling about 20% of the entire market (and the company saw 600% increase in profits).

Here

https://www.forbes.com/sites/daniellenierenberg/2023/01/27/c...

you can see more analysis and other examples of industries that are even more consolidated, e.g., 4 companies control 70% of the pork producing market, other 4 companies control about 80% of beef producing market.

Look at finance. Look at IT. Consolidation is everywhere. It is natural direction of free markets and, if left unchecked, causes massive disruptions of free market mechanisms.

This makes zero sense. The 2000 rupee notes remain legal tender. And given the long time lines, nobody is going to have any trouble converting their unaccounted cash. And why wait until after the Karnataka elections if the intention was to hit the opposition?
This is a stretch. 4 was alright, but it also marked the death of the series. 3 was great, 2 was legendary. There's a great reason Cities: Skylines became the spiritual successor.

there used to be some hard and fast rules about scaling vertically in sysadmin circles.

You can see where they come from when you consider some pretty static numbers in systems: like that page sizes are 4k, block sizes are usually pretty standard (512b or 4k) and network interfaces (at least the throughput) haven't increased for a decade or more.

Some of those rules need to be challenged as the technologies or systems change over time. 20M rows in a highly updated table should be an old "rule" though, at the latest from 2010, when mech drives were popular, because having your entire table index fitting on a few sectors on physical disk made a pretty substantial performance difference. Indexes need to flush to disk on update. (or they used to)
It applies because the article exclusively discusses a 2 degree temperature rise.

A 2 degree temperature rise is not enough to cause widespread crop failures, significantly increased natural disasters, nor the other things you mention.

Everything in life has pros and cons, here a 2 degree temperature rise will result in 5 million humans saved, it's pretty disingenuous to not to at least mention that.

I even generally agree that a large temp increase 10-20+ degrees super risky and not something we should experiment with, but this fear mongering about 2 degrees is ridiculous and not based in science.
Absolutely. Every political party has cash that they use in election. So by doing the demonetisation, ruling party can virtually disable their opponent parties while their own party members enjoy the insider knowledge and makes tons of money by doing deals. They use the same money to feed to mainstream news channels who then promotes the ruling party as a fighter against corruption.

Did some BJP leaders go on a land purchasing spree before the demonetisation policy was announced as per news? [1]

Nothing seems thought through with some of these policies. A lot of these types of governments see nothing wrong in making normal citizens run through hoops. Increasing amounts of vague rules are being brought in India like the credit card tax launched recently which requires you to go through a claims process at the year end. Last year there was the subscription related disruption on credit cards, etc etc. The list goes on.

Using the original source language can certainly help. But even then most of the blog recipes you find are going to have the same problem with being very simplified.

A problem with Google Translate specifically is that it’s often not great at translating ingredients. For instance it will translate daun salam as bay leaf, but there’s something like 6 different types of bay leaf, and they’re not at all similar. If a recipe calls for daun salam it probably wants you to use Indonesian bay leaf, but if you didn’t already know that distinction you’d end up with something weird. Another example would be bawang putih, which translates literally to white onion, but means garlic. Google translate has learnt this meaning sometime recently, but it used to give the literal incorrect translation.
what kind of machine are you running this on?
You are correct that I did not define critical reasoning. However, here is an sample case - I set a context and ask the answer from the computer. If the computer rightly understands the context and answers the question, then that is critical reasoning for me. Now that I type it out, it sounds like a version of a Turing test and I do not know if we can do better.

So, in your hypothetical case, I would argue that using the terminology and providing the answers assume some level of intelligence. We get caught up in the training process and automatically assume what computer can infer because it is what we can infer. But the computer is not human and its world model is not the same as our world model. Your fear is reasonable, but religion has gotten away with it for so long :)

The private, for-profit results are already bad. The formatting is uniformally terrible, the writing is hit and miss. I like some of the open stuff as it is web formatted as opposed to paper formatting, which is the same motif that digitized textbooks use, which is both absurd and frustrating, not to mention DRM readers with shit functionality and bad or absent in-text linking and zero interactivity. It just paints "RENT SEEKING" all over the industry as a whole. However there are some publishers that make nice barebones texts and offer them in unlocked pdfs at economical rates, a real godsend.

The original demonetization resulted in 99.3% of old notes being returned. This time the notes in question aren't even demonetised but merely being pulled out of circulation.

The idea that this will somehow eliminate corruption is moronic.

Adding some details. It's been revised to apply only to foreign transactions above 700k INR a year, which exempts the vast majority of people. I agree it's not great for those who spend above 700k INR abroad; but then again you get it back at the end of the year.
