Death spirals are fine if you can make sure you're not personally impacted by them. In fact it makes it much cheaper to buy out large swathes of the dying/dead economy, privatize failing public services and drive down labor costs. You don't even have to both reviving the economy afterwards if you can get a quick exit by selling to a greater fool.
And yet it seems most people choose to pay twice as much to not use Fitbit.

While this is unfortunate, false positives do happen.
What you can find on amazon that you can't find elsewhere (at least here):

- All your regular non-food needs in one cart.

- No-hassle refunds if there is a problem with the order.

The first one is just convenience and I could do without. The second one is where most other stores fail. Or at least enough of them that I don't want to risk having to phone their hotline or pay for shipping back because they or their delivery contractor fucked up - or is fraudulently claiming they tried to deliver when they made no such attempt at the specified address and instead want you to waste your time picking up the package at a random location accross town.
I believe there is a recent (optional) strict mode that will enforce types. I haven't used it so I don't know how full-featured it is. Your other points are of course correct

> I have higher-than-average vision persistence

First time heard about this. Do you think that you have more "buffer space" for past visual input than average, or do the older and newer visual input "merge together" in the same "buffer space"? What I'm trying to get at is that does this come at cost of blurring vision or reaction speed, or do you have no problems related to those?
Yes, annual is overkill more likely than not, but there are countries that do periodic CT scans above a certain age.

Knowing a number of people in their 30s-50s who passed or had close calls with slow moving but symptomless cancer caught early only because of an unrelated accident.. I'd think CT scans every 5 years or something past say 40ish probably has a good ROI for the individual. That said, it doesn't have a great ROI for insurance companies, which is why it doesn't happen.

There are numerous types of internal organ cancers that are incredibly slow moving (10-20+ years) but by the time they give you symptoms you are in stage 4. And many of these have essentially no alternative screenings for early warning - thyroid / liver / pancreas / kidney / etc.
As usual, people will try to use workarounds. For missing ports on my Mac Book Pro, I use a hub. For connecting my AKG headset to my iPhone, I use a dongle. I guess sooner or later Apple will make available a kind of API for device makers to make it possible to interact with the content in ways different that eyeballs tracking.
The original comment was about the human brain, not a single specialized task.
I actually have that kind of experiences (mostly on a subtle level, but sometimes more intense, to the point that tears might well up) regularly as a result of my meditation/spiritual practice. For me it is more "seeing the divine expressing itself through the person" or feeling a particular kind of universal personhood in a tree, as if that particular tree stood outside of time, representing all of life. It can also happen with my own emotions: sometimes I will feel sad or angry, and the feeling will transform from "my anger" to "an expression of cosmic anger" or "the Divine expressing itself through me as Anger".

It might be a bit different from the experience described in the citation, but to me that description definitely sounds familiar (in particular the simultaneity of the particular and the universal). The effect of my practice on my daily life and the way I relate to it also sound pretty similar to the way some use psychedelics for spiritual or therapeutical practice. I actually lost quite a lot of my appetite to experiment with psychedelics since I started this kind of practice.

I mostly practice following the teachings of Rob Burbea, but I am also fond of reading texts from mystics of the Abrahamic religions, and this kind of experience is also reported regularly in that context. Mother Theresa for instance, when asked how she could stand being at the contact of so much suffering, said something along the lines of "I look into the eyes of my patient, and what I see is the glaze of my beloved Christ".
>>> Well, the entire idea is to run locally, right? Now you have to worry about getting the runtime to work on 3 different OSs,

>llama.cpp

I'm well aware of llama.cpp, and run it myself. I'm also aware of the recent breaking change to the quantization format because 'everyone can just rebuild from the ggml'. And its difficulties with base level AVX or AVX512 (in fairness it focuses on M2 and has support for AVX2). And how you need to work to add additional non-Llama models to it (necessary due to the commercial clause). It's not quite ready yet. Even when it's ready, there's the work for actual deployment, and the mess of diverse user systems beyond what devs tend to run.

I'm not saying the challenge is impossible - but it's an extra hurdle for OSS.

>> I expect LLMs to be a ubiquitous UI paradigm.

> I don't expect that to be the case. LLMs are useful in text wrangling tasks, for which we have specialized software

Look at the recent photoshop generative fill feature for what could be done.

>what I do expect from an UI: a) that it is fully functional even when the machine is offline, and b) that it's responsiveness is independent from the load on someones datacenter.

Good ideas. I think for now BigCorp can avoid it by pushing LLMs as an addon UI and keeping the base UI functional. It's possible they'd ship smaller models on device too.

>Legislation is another good argument for open source LLMs taking over.

That I can buy. The legal details are however a bit beyond me right now, and I don't know what the current status is. It could push OSS or stop it.
> if the master password get compromised.

... and if a copy of the password wallet has been obtained.
I may be wrong here, but since the yubikey and similar don't actually store anything site-specific, it means they just respond to a challenge, right? What they prove is that they own a specific private key.

So if the website bundles its domain in the challenge, it can make sure that the client signed the challenge for itself, and the client can verify that it signs the challenge for the current domain.

So now, if the service's domain were to change, it would presumably be aware of it and incorporate it in the new challenge, which the client would sign, since it's browsing the correct domain, with the same private key used before.

Is this not how it works?
Different market, I think. The PSVR2 is aimed at gaming where resolution matters less but the demands on graphics hardware to push that resolution are much higher because they're rendering complex scenes with fancy visual effects and fast motion, all on a console that's limited in graphics power compared to higher-end gaming PCs. Projecting mostly flat windows with little overdraw is much less graphically demanding; the SimulaVR folks and others experimenting with spatial computing have even managed it using the integrated graphics on low-power Intel CPUs, though admittedly with not quite as high a resolution as Apple.
Do you administer servers or host it somewhere that manages all that?
I care about it, but I also understand that hell will freeze over before Apple stand up on the stage in front of their worldwide developer community and tell them that the Apple Store fees and the Apple Developer subscription cost aren't necessary after all. If they do allow side-loading for legal compliance, it's practically guaranteed that the option to switch it on will be slid into a minor-point release in a difficult-to-find menu with no fanfare whatsoever. It makes no sense for them to advertise the capability and I would be surprised if it even makes it into the release notes.
Sometimes they don't know what WOULD make them happy, but most of the time they are pretty certain about what DID make them happy or unhappy. So, adjust as required.
Your goal is not to eliminate all the potential for suffering and frustration in their lives, this is a lame, and impossible goal.
Your goal is to enable them to deal with that in a positive and constructive way.
So now go and actually consult the POSIX standard, as I just said. You clearly haven't.
It's actually better in some of these simple logic tasks than ChatGPT. Try this:

Prompt: When I was born, my biological mother was in Paris, and my father was in the United States. Where was I born?

GPT-4: Based on the information you've provided, I can't definitively say where you were born. Your location of birth depends on various factors, such as where your mother was living around the time of your birth, or if she was traveling. If you were born when your mother was in Paris, then you were likely born in Paris. However, if she traveled to the United States or another location for your birth, you would have been born there. Additional information would be needed to determine your birth location more accurately.

Falcon40B: You were born in Paris. Your biological mother was in Paris when she gave birth to you.

This kind of evaluation is meaningless, it would be necessary to test the models on a bunch of different prompts to get some meaningful metrics.
It sounds like you are hang up on the fact that everyone "might have cancer", thus technically everyone "might have cancer"?

It depends on the context of the sentence. It is unlikely that they just sent out a one line email saying "you might have cancer" and nothing more.

If the context of the letter makes it clear that they are raising awareness about the possibility of people having cancer (such as for example listing symptoms to look out for, or general population statistics) that cannot be done "wrongly". (It might be still unduly alarming, distasteful, factually incorrect or unethical for a host of other reasons.)

If the context is that they are telling you that they have run tests on your recent lab samples, and those tests are positive for the presence of cancer. That is an entirely different animal. That can be done "wrongly" if for example they have not done lab tests or the lab tests do not indicate that you have a higher probability of having cancer.
> People can use those open source tools on the free level that doesn't require the higher level of use.

Fair enough.

> You're mad they're trying to make money.

I'm not mad they're trying to make money, I absolutely understand that. But again, why do they want $2.50/user from a 3rd party client, while keeping the revenue from their first party app unchanged?

The excuse for API changes was fairness (3rd party client using the API for free while making a profit isn't fair), but charging this much just shows that they don't want 3rd party clients to compete in the first place. Which is also fine, if only they admitted it.
In the examples, the queries are returning ‘component’ and ‘contents.’ Presumably, that’s rendered into something like:

<component>content</component>

Neat idea, but putting all the app’s logic into SQL queries is not how I would choose to design a production app.

Still, not really. Even going with that picture, this is still a better description "medium to high density, mixed use areas that have business friendly regulations and/or wealthy residents/tourists.", as one could get rid of the parking lots, but that wouldn't make it necessarily better unless it's also mixed zoning (eg if those are all office buildings, you still have to drive to get to a restaurant, grocery, etc).

Fun fact: the US is a 1st world country by definition because the terms "1st world", "2nd world" and "3rd world" originate in the Cold War with "1st world" being US-aligned countries, "2nd world" Soviet-aligned countries and "3rd world" being "unaligned" countries, typically because they were too unimportant/weak/poor in the world economy to be relevant. The term "3rd world" stuck around to simply mean "underdeveloped".

That said, as far as I followed the story, the (actual) winning candidate insisted on a thorough investigation and full recount. The (actual) losing candidate immediately accepted his defeat and did not object to the new outcome. As transfers of power go, this one was fairly smooth.
There is a huge difference between "[potentially] can kill innocents" and "deliberately kill civilians every day".

There is a lot of conflicts have been in the last 70 years indeed, but author (and your cite) says: "does not take similar measures against other countries who wage wars which have caused way more deaths and displacement of individuals" and I'm pointing that this is a false statement, because not author nor you can't name any one
It been matter of time. Talks of blowing-up the dam been going around for months. Russia waited till the Ukrainian counteroffensive would begin. It shows that Russians are so desperate to come to some sort of negotiation as to cause massive ecological disaster, cause irreparable damages (billions of dollars to build a new dam), possibly even disrupting water supply to Crimea and possibly damaging the nuclear plant that is downstream.
My question here is about underlying fab capacity. This chip is made on TSMC 4N, along with the H100 and 40xx series consumer GPUs. I assume Nvidia has purchased their entire production capacity. I also assume that Nvidia is using that capacity to produce the products with the highest margins, which probably means the H100 and this new GH200. So when they release this new chip, does it mean effectively fewer H100s and 4090s? Or is that not how fabrication capacity works?

I'm asking because whenever I look at ML training in the cloud, I never see any availability - either for this architecture or the A100s. AWS and GCP have quotas set to 0, lambda labs is usually sold out, paperspace has no capacity, etc. What we need isn't faster or bigger GPUs, it's _more_ GPUs.
Yes, I understand and agree. I was correcting the OP of this thread, and got downvoted. I'm a patent attorney, what do I know. LOL. So many strong opinions about patents flying about.

> Safe from server leaks. Because servers only keep public keys, servers are less valuable targets for hackers.

It's still an attack scenario to keep in mind. If a server can be tricked into storing the wrong public key, authentication is defeated.
How? I run it on an old i5 16gb ram think-pad among few other things without any issues.
Not to mention that they pause constantly for in-flight announcements about duty free shopping, donating unused international currency, tray tables, dimming cabin lights, etc. That alone makes it worth bringing your own content on tablet or phone with your own headphones. If a host approaches about a meal choice, you'd see them through the headset. If there was an emergency, someone would tap you on the shoulder.
pains me to say it but I think it must be over for Stack Overflow. Not only are they directly losing users to ChatGPT, but are now finding AI generated answers flooding the site as karma farmers go ham. Stack Overflow need to bring back the job board / database search - they still have millions of developer profiles, maybe the only thing that has AI resistant value
Spot on. A reason to be very careful with React and Next.js going forward. We are in the VC monetization phase and it could get ugly.
I can't really grasp how enormous this project is.

5000 patents filed from Apple is crazy, and looking at the thing with all of these new both pieces of hardware and concepts, wow.

How many people have been working on this, and for how long? The other threads here seems to have missed just how "huge" a projects this is.

Is this also the lead up to the Apple car, or some other ecosystem?

Reddit’s plan to kill third-party apps sparks widespread protests
Async/await, at least in JS, is here to make asynchronous code look like synchronous code, as in you can say "let toto = await asynchronousFunction(); doSomething(toto)".

Without it when you want to do asynchronous stuff you either block on it (not good since JS is single-threaded), eg "let toto = asynchronousFunction(); doSomething(toto)" and nothing can be done during the time asynchronousFunction is waiting on IO or something (in a browser environment that means part of your website stops responding to user input); or pass as an argument to the asynchronous function a function that will be executed by the asynchronous function once it "wakes up" (usually called a "callback"), and while it's waiting, the JS runtime can execute other stuff, eg "asynchronousFunction((toto => doSomething(toto)))".

Callbacks were I think from the start in JS. After a while promises were introduced, which compared to callbacks avoids nesting, and probably have some other advantages that I don't know about. Still, they are method chaining and not "regular code". For example regular try/catch won't work as usual, you have to use .catch(). Even later async/await got introduced, which allow you to write asynchronous code as if it was regular code, with a few exceptions (for example you can only use await in an async function, top-level await took a while to land on Node, stuff like that).

I don't think using real world human actions helps with understanding any of that. Async functions make sense in JS because again, JS is single threaded and if you do a blocking call (like asking the kernel to read a file, or making an HTTP request and waiting for the response), the event loop is blocked. From Node.js documentation's on the synchronous function in the fs module:

> The synchronous APIs perform all operations synchronously, blocking the event loop until the operation completes or fails.
VR headsets in general are a faff.

I have previously owned a PS VR (the first iteration) and sold it after a couple months because it had only seen any action in the first couple weeks.

I now own a PS VR2. It's a lot less of a faff, but still far from ideal. I've had it for a couple months though, and my usage is actually increasing. I look forward to having some time to play, which due to work and other interests, happens only a few times a week. It takes some time and work to be fully set up and ready to play, and time to get off it, clean everything up, put it in charge, etc (there are 3 devices that need charging: 2 controllers and headphones.

What Apple seem to have done (or at least claim to) is to solve all or most of the issues with current VR tech, such as:

* Motion sickness due to low refresh rates and lag

* Resolution and front-door or mura effects

* Complete disconnection from the outside world unless you take the whole setup off (which takes some time to put in)

* Awkwardness of using your hands since they're attached to controllers and you can't see them (mostly)

* The choice between being tethered or having a heavy thing attached to your skull

* The need for yet another thing in order to get decent sound - I use a pair of over-ear headphones.

So, they combined: VR/AR/MR headset, GPU, CPU, controllers, headphones/sound system into one neat package. On top of that, as much as the breakout battery might not be ideal, it solves the weight vs tether vs operating time issue relatively neatly.

The price is really the main problem but given the amount of tech in this product it's understandable.

If it could fully replace a Macbook (run full blown macOS on it, connect to external display for off-headset work), there would be a lot more people jumping on it.
This comment seems to be unrelated to the subject. Is there a specific reason you mention it (along with the down vote I take is also from you, given your passive aggressive tone)?

The latent point is that most applications don't need specific APIs for their value propositions, why it would not make sense to write them in a native framework that enables these APIs.
Why do this rather than use a Dockerfile?
In short term yeah, it will probably be too muddy. But it will dry over time and in the long term this unlocked a completely new axis of attack for Ukrainians. Similarly in the downstream regions. The water will go away eventually and it will be much easier for Ukrainians to attack in the future, when the Russians will not have the capability to flood the downstream regions with this dam.
Reading is something you learn but many behaviors are done instinctively or intuitively.
Every time I stumble upon a thread like this one, multiple posters react with "but everybody will stop working!". I always find this reaction to be curious.

Why are we working now if, only by not being afraid of starvation and homelessness, we shall stop doing so? It seems to me only two conclusions follow:

1. It means that the actual labor market isn't free since we are essentially coerced into exchanging by fear of being destitute.

2. It means that the free market does not operate properly since if it was, the price of labor would adjust to find a new equilibrium where employers and employees satisfied by the exchange.

UBI would not induce mass idleness. It would rebalance labor relations.
