> Reagan de-regulated and Trucks can be any size, plus they can clog the roads on Sunday. The last item I do not know when it was enabled, but it happened after Reagan.

If you want federal highway money, then your highways need to conform to federal standards. These standards allow for trailers up to 53' in length and up to 80,000lbs to operate without any prior authorization as long as they otherwise conform to vehicle standards.

States are always free to turn down the money and enact whatever standards they like; however, the standards seem incredibly reasonable to me and not at all something you can simply blame on a single President passing laws sent to him by Congress. States also have the task of enforcing laws on the highway and can operate commercial vehicle checkpoints.

> I now heard of trucks with 3 trailers but never saw one. [...] time to go back to freight trains.

You're still limited by overall length. FedEx will often operate two short trailers in an articulated tandem. They do this for what I hope are obvious reasons that cannot be fulfilled by rail transport.
Langchain added support for `function_call` args yesterday:

IMHO, this should make Langchain much easier and less chaotic to use.
Scrollback on Linux TTY
Hi all, every time I use linux tty it is immense pain since they removed scrollback support in 5.9.
I was wondering is there some brave soul who could bring us back this amazing feature that used to put linux upon any other system.

p.s. tmux or screen is not a solution.
I don't think this is an issue of engineer competency. If you gave it to a French company, even they would be bogged down by the US regulatory agency and simply fail.
The WiFi debacle is a symptom of the underlying problem of the US dumping its homeless population into an astronomically high CoL, 7x7 mile waterlocked city where regular folk with regular jobs already cannot afford to live, and expecting miracles. And miracles aren't happening despite the $700M/year budget for it obtained from the local polity. I'm not sure where you see "ignoring".

SF is incapable of digging itself out of that hole. Clearly it's not a problem of insufficient spend, and the local politics will not allow for the necessary level of action, so this will continue in perpetuity until there is outside intervention.

"We need to humane harder" is clearly not working. It feels good in the short term, but 10 years later things only get worse and we're scratching our heads wondering why nothing is improving.
This is the narrative, sure, but Reddit isn’t what it was in 2015. Most of the users have joined since the reskin and these power users are the last vestige of old Reddit. I imagine these power users think they are the important ones, but really it’s the people upvoting memes who click on the occasional ad. Those are the people Reddit care about and they aren’t being alienated because they don’t care.
Hm, I see what you mean. Afaict, only the decision to call or not call a function is up to the model (fuzzy). Once it decides to call the function, it generates mostly correct JSON based on your schema and returns that to you as is (not very fuzzy).

It’ll be interesting to test APIs which accept user inputs. Depending on how ChatGPT populates the JSON, the API could be required to understand/interpret/respond to lots of variability in inputs.

Folks misunderstand why Vim is so popular.

Do you prefer navigating files like a startled hamster, jabbing "alt-left" incessantly? Or like a ninja, swift and accurate?

Fancy playing Whack-a-Mole, relentlessly pounding a single key? Or Tekken, delivering insane combos with a precise 9 character sequence?

Vim is about gaining mastery rather than actual efficiency. And it's great.

I don't like being lied or condescended to, just because most people can't handle the information. Also, it often backfires.

Like, in early 2020, when the CDC said masks were unnecessary, then that N95s were unnecessary, it was glaringly obvious that this was propaganda to keep the public from panic-buying PPE and causing shortages.

Some people believed them, took inadequate protections, got sick or died. It led to ineffective safety policies. It torched the CDC's credibility right out of the gate. They got called out later for flip-flopping. It led to "trust the science" being so ridiculed. Mostly, I got mad that it was such an obvious lie.
That sounds like an error you get when the top level module you're importing depends on another module that's not part of the bundle. Try using https://esm.sh - that works for me in Observable notebooks, at least.
This assumes there's an army of competent mods in waiting that the admins can tap into, who could take over (without many of the tools the previous mods used) and effectively run some of the largest communities on the internet.

This strikes me as unlikely.
So, Hasan was a plagiarist as he fluffed powers-that-be for partisan credibility – including an example Fang cites from Hasan's 2012 book).

The other Fang allegations – including that Hasan now condemns & slurs people for the same sorts of socially-conservative views Hasan once espoused (& maybe still holds in his heart?) also seem well-sourced.

Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity have also "wiped the floor" against remote guests, on their shouty home-field cable TV shows. It's a medium for idiocy: slick & shameless verbal bullies win there, and anyone who adopts their news/views from such interactions remains stuck in a partisanship-addled haze.
Exactly. The people generating revenue for Reddit would probably have their mind blown knowing their are other apps and wonder why Reddit ever allowed such a thing.
Appreciate the feedback. There is definitely a bit of a learning curve to our platform coming from a place like reddit. It's intentionally not a 1-to-1 copy. We're kind of building a Discord/Reddit/Patreon hybrid that combines the best parts of each platform to try and bring a bit of innovation into the community platform space. A focus of ours is to help the community owners monetize.
Yep. I aw that. But then I rely on the trustworthiness of the authors, and when I know for a fact at least one of them has been caught literally making up lies that, when uncovered, literally disprove the narrative they were pushing, it really destroys all credibility.

He wasn't really forced to buy it. There was a $1 billion buyout option of the contract apparently. I believe he paid 44 billion it, when it was clearly worth half that after the stock lost value, so he chose to waste 20 billion instead of 1 billion to save his ego. But instead he's destroyed whatever part of his reputation was left.

Problem is half of the publications or even more is pure garbage that cannot be reproduced so there is that.
Their proof depends on arbitrary precision and they explicitly state that the finite case is not TC.

But if you are talking about arbitrary precision floats, or the computable set of the reals it is equivalent.

The computable reals are just the concatenation of the natural numbers/ints

So it is the countable infinity and thus the cardinality of Aleph-nought.

That adds to the time complexity, while the unbounded memory requirement comes from the definition of a Turing machine which is roughly a finite state machine+ an infinite tape.

As the reals are uncomputable almost everyplace, you would need an activation function that only produced computable reals, as they are equivalent rational activation functions are simpler for the proof.
If people want to insist it really is a google issue ... sadly no matter how much they would like to think there's getting a prize for being right ... they are simply wrong. This could be a bookmarks issue, or a duckduckgo issue if they were so to be believed.

Crushed it... and many people in the process.
An average coal plant produces ~1twh power per year for 40 years of its lifespan. Death directly attributable to emissions from coal plants average around 25 per 1 twh of power. So coal plants just in their operation kill at least 1000 people each, conservatively. So far there has been 1 confirmed radiation death from Fukushima Daiichi, and it operated for almost exactly 40 years. Even Chernobyl killed fewer than 50 people, though it was SUPER expensive to clean up.

You are confusing reservoirs and aquifers.

Reservoirs can replenish within a single year, since they collect surface water. Aquifers require groundwater to filter down through sedimentary layers to eventually fill up, which takes a significantly longer amount of time.

Same with tow trucks. Trying to find a tow truck on your own is a HUGE mess. Finding a tow company in the area invariably leads to some sort of "virtual tow truck call center" that takes a bunch of money and subcontracts out to actual tow truck drivers.

My solution was to pay for the roadside assistance via my car insurance and call them to sort things out.

Now emergency plumbers - same mess, but I haven't figured out a solution for that.

Yep. I even gave it a JSON schema file to use. It just wouldn't stop added extra verbage.
The way openai implemented this is really clever, beyond how neat the plugin architecture is, as it lets them peek one layer inside your internal API surface and can infer what you intend to do with the LLM output. Collecting some good data here.
The solar claim is dubious (due to assuming installation of solar on residential roofs, when large scale solar would involve installation at ground level, a safer process.) But in any case, the cost of putative lives saved for the excess $ spent vs. solar would far exceed the $9 M statistical value of a human life used by the NRC to judge if regulations are cost effective. So, the argument you are making would imply a much higher value per human life, which would imply the NRC is dramatically underregulating nuclear power plants.
I recently went to a dessert shop in Palo Alto that seemed to be rate-limiting their orders so they could get a crowd formed. Once there were 2-3 people waiting, the line would invariably blossom to 5-10, and then stay high for a while. I can't be sure it was on purpose, but the thought definitely crossed my mind...
The case I bought from Frys for my last desktop build a few years ago has a power LED that lights up half the room. I taped a penny over it.
AMD's valuation is 1/5th of Nvidia now. They've done amazing in the last 5 years in the CPU market but have absolutely missed the boat on a _trillion_ dollar valuation because they didn't put enough effort into the GPGPU market. This is all the while being 1 of 2 companies in the world that was best positioned to capitalise.

I like Dr. Su, she's an amazing CEO and has stuck it to Intel. But Intel wasn't the one they should've been spending all their effort on.

Hopefully they realise this because Nvidia selling GPUs for 40k can only go on for so long.

> then people would have already been unmistakably dying.

Yeah, but the actual number of COVID dead has been a widely disputed topic and it's well established that excess deaths significantly increased during the pandemic, which indicates that a lot more people died overall that didn't go down as formal COVID cases[0]. It's very likely that early COVID deaths were not properly counted because we weren't in formal pandemic protocols yet.

Also anecdotally, I knew people in the Midwest that contracted severe flu in December 2019 and January 2020 who later tested positive once the ability to test became available. I don't think it's a stretch at all to think that it had widespread reach early in 2020 when the research indicates that the actual number of COVID dead in 2020 is more than double what was officially reported.

From the piece I've linked below:

> On 30 January 2020 COVID-19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) with an official death toll of 171. By 31 December 2020, this figure stood at 1 813 188. Yet preliminary estimates suggest the total number of global deaths attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 is at least 3 million, representing 1.2 million more deaths than officially reported.

It's weird how many smart people still haven't realized they are being lied to by the legacy media and establishment figures. Even after repeatedly discrediting themselves.

Most review sites have a profit incentive that doesn't care about the quality of review. But I'll call out a couple that put in effort to be trusted.

Consumer Reports does independent testing with their established criteria. But it's a paid service and doesn't do user submitted reviews.

Steam gets gamed with review bombs but provides plenty of transparency and data for people to make informed decisions. They identify recent review biases and show spikes in volume. Importantly Steam has a generous refund policy with little friction, so they have a profit incentive to match you to a game you want to keep.
Yeah, that's what TFA is about. People thought about it, but it turns out it doesn't matter, because regulatory requirements were a moving target and were applied retroactively to any project not yet finished.

The accidents you described didn't come from nuclear power plants. The Western Australian incident was mining equipment. The Goiânia accident happened in Brazil and was medical equipment. The Kramatorsk radiological accident was also mining equipment.

It's because he makes constant clearly incorrect scientific claims, says conspiratorial things about vaccines that are obviously wrong. We haven't hidden the deaths of millions of people who got the COVID vaccine. We just haven't. And for all the billions of people who got the vaccine, I'm sure there were a handful of people that had serious reactions. But contrast that with the millions of people who literally died just in the US. He is trying to reverse that equation and claiming that it's all a big secret with no evidence, that's the problem with people like him.

The "confirmed" death bit is a dog whistle. The cancers from population radiation exposures are largely statistically undetectable (and would not all have happened yet), but regulators cannot just act as if they do not happen. Radiation is not a defendant that must be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
