I don't get what the distinction is.

>because informal proofs treat all the most obvious parts as obvious.

No, they treat the most obvious parts as previously proven (which they are). That is an enormous difference.

I really have no idea what the difference to a "fully formal" and the standard proof would be, except the later argument includes verbose commentary, instead of logical symbols. But saying "since a is true and we formerly proved a implies b, we know b is true" instead of "(a and (a => b)) => b", does only seem to be a pedantic difference.

>Last time I checked there was still no formal version of Cantor's diagonalization argument.

AFAIK it is part of the standard libraries of multiple proof assistants, which means it is as fully formal as it can ever be.
> The resulting norms have steadily eroded institutional competency, causing America’s complex systems to fail with increasing regularity.

Really? As fewer people than ever are dying in plane crashes. Medical malpractice claims are declining. There are far fewer errors in banking, communications, convictions, far fewer deaths in fires (and fires in general). There are certainly some things getting worse such as homelessness and drug addiction, but most things have dramatically improved over the past generation.

It is great to have anecdotes, but you need to demonstrate that reliability is declining in some numerical way, as "increasing regularity" is by definition somehow numerical.

> Following three completely avoidable collisions of U.S. Navy warships in 2017 and a fire in 2020 that resulted in the scuttling of USS Bonhomme Richard

The US Navy has a pretty lengthy record of hitting things, losing boats to stupid, and killing its sailors for want of training.

Is it all that unusual for the US armed forces to lose dozens of people in accidents a year? Admittedly anecdotal from Wikipedia reading, but it doesn't seem to be so.

> Recently, the tremendous U.S. record for air safety established since the 1970s has been fraying at the edges.

A bunch of people have died due to ATC failures between now and the 1970s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Express_Flight_2415

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_runway_disaster

It is obviously not good that these incidents have happened, but they are not exactly new. The "tremendous record for air safety" still has a lot of bodies attached to it.

> Shortly after releasing the 737 MAX, 346 people died in two nearly identical 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

Exactly as many people died when McDonnell Douglas (the real predecessor to Boeing in terms of organizational culture) cut corners on cargo doors. Boeing corporate ethical challenges are not new if you consider MD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Airlines_Flight_981

Airline manufacturers killing people due to being sloppy is not new. They are arguably killing the fewest flyers per capita in history.

> The modern U.S. is a system of systems interacting together in intricate ways. All these complex systems are simply assumed to work. In February of 2021, cold weather in Texas caused shutdowns at unwinterized natural gas power plants. The failure rippled through the systems with interlocking dependencies. As a result, 246 people died. In straightforward work, declining competency means that things happen more slowly, and products are lower quality or more expensive.

That is not lack of competency at all. That is a deliberate choice by Texas to not spend extra money on a resilient system. They deliberately keep their grid disconnected from the rest of the USA so they do not need to comply with Federal standards. Texas is well aware of the issues. They just prefer the free market with cheap power.

The ESP32 microcontroller has 320Kb of RAM, and a dual core 240MHz CPU. It's is one of the most useful microcontrollers out there.

64MB and 1GHz CPU is a lot more and a lot faster, so IOT and edge-computing are able to process data locally.
This is what I'd describe as the deepest of the deep magic.
Reddit is way past critical mass and most of the users don't care about all this fuss If they are even aware of it, they are probably slightly annoyed by subreddits going dark.

Reddit will change, for the worse probably, and I don't see any alternative that provides the same value.

Best we can hope for is that /u/spez is swapped out and there are some slight concessions for 3rd party apps.

Tenaculum: For over 100 Years Women Have Endured Pain in Gynecology
That cmd-tab behaviour sounds similar to GNOME (haven't tried other desktop environments) on Linux. There, you can use alt-tab to cycle through different types of applications but if you want to cycle through different instances of the same application, you have to use alt-` or super-` to do that. It takes some getting used to in all honesty and I don't know if I like it.
Search Engines:

First one I used was Alta Vista, then several others were tried till I discovered Google. I still mainly use Google, though I had short bursts of DDG and Yandex too.

Today, 'Google' is a verb, but when search engines first arrived they turned the World Wide Web from a mere curiosity into something truly usable.
Any seizure of power by an individual or a small number of people that is done in a manner not provided for by the constitution is, by definition, a coup/putsch. The constitutional referrendum happened after the Yeltsin coup, in December. For the said referrendum there is even doubt if it achieved 50%+ turnout, let a lone if it was fair and propper (referendums and elections that are held after an illegal power grab are always just theatre), so you should also check the meaning of the word 'popular'.

> And who really cared about Clinton? Next year Eltsin started 1st Chechen war without asking anyone's permission.

On 11.09.2001 an ex employee of the US government crashed a bunch of planes accross the US without (probably) asking anyone's permission.

> Eltsin was mostly ok, not worse than any other former communist leader.

Im pretty sure it is not controversial to say that most Russians view Yeltsin as a huge failure and a disgrace
There are no big differences compared to other LLM architecturally. The largest differences compared to NeoX are: no biases in linear layers, shared heads for the key and value representations (but not query).

Of course, it has 40B parameters, but there is also a 7B parameter version. The primary issue is that the current upstream version (on Huggingface) hasn't implemented key-value caching correctly. KV caching is needed to bring the complexity down from O(n^3) to O(n^2). The issues are: (1) their implementation uses Torch' scaled dot-product attention, which uses incorrect causal masks when the query/key sizes are not the same (which it the case when generating with a cache). (2) They don't index the rotary embeddings correctly when using key-value cache, so the rotary embedding of the first token is used for all generated tokens. Together, this causes the model to output garbage and it only works when using it without KV caching, making it very slow.

However, this is not a property of the model and they will probably fix this soon. E.g. the transformer library that we are currently developing supports Falcon with key-value caching and it the speed is on-par with other models of the same size:

https://github.com/explosion/curated-transformers/blob/main/...

(This is a correct implementation of the decoder layer.)
There are 3 plans:

Premium Digital: The trial one is for premium digital, which gives you access to the epaper, lex column and additional newsletters ontop of access to some of the stock data in the other sections.

Standard Digital: no epaper, just the articles on the ft website, and no access to the newsletters or lex columns.

Epaper on its own is a copy of the newspaper

It's a great deal tbh, worth every penny for the premium digital.

Hint: if you’re ever reading an article that pins America’s ills on “the Civil Rights Act of 1964”, you’re reading some bullshit.

The idea that America has problems because black people get to have important jobs is such a blatantly fucked up idea that I have no idea how this is on the front page…
Modern monetary policy has failed. Tying the currency to something real and finite - say, gold - is the only way to rein in the nonsense. The value of things becomes much clearer when you can’t simply conjure up money out of thin air.

"It’s not a movement, but it’s all over the place. It’s changed the way we see and think of things, almost everybody. It’s libertarian, socialism, anarchism. Of course, they’re not going to be popular. We have a class-based society, rigid class-based society. The business classes, the ultra-rich are dedicated to class war. They’re basically vulgar Marxists, fight values inverted, constantly fighting a harsh class war. They control the resources, control the institutions, control the economy. So yes, ideas that they don’t like, you don’t hear. Nothing novel about that."

Ideed, nothing novel and basicaly impossible to avoid if you have a society with elites (even left oriented elites will do the same, even worse)... It is a tautology that elites will censor what it is against their interests. I wander if is even desirable to build a society with elites that are open to be replaced by "better" values, or "better" execution. It looks to me that the only good approach is to have societies composed by many small "sub-societies" with different values and different elites that compete on attracting supporters. Of course this is not with very serious challenges too...
I don’t have it yet, but as a Search User I think I’d be OK with it?

Then as a business or blog that wants to get indexed, I feel like the friction no longer being a >= page 2 result is going to surface more content and get more clicks.

I guess it will allow for more ads with potentially better click through on ads as well.
Bloom and OPT are weak, predictably so. Nobody uses them (except for research sometimes, and even then rarely). It doesn't make sense to look for hardware to run a 176B model when a 13B outperforms it across the board.
I’m still sad about the spaces grid that’s been removed in recent versions from macOS. Som 15 years ago when I started using a MacBook unibody 13” there were grid like spaces. I usually had a 3-by-3 grid. IDE in the center, left a browser window for docs, right a browser window for preview of what I was building, bottom terminal, bottom right spotify, top right socials, and some leftovers on top and bottom left. Every app had it’s own designated space.

Now, I’m using 9 spaces, lineair unfortunately. But I’m using yabai with shkd as window manager and Alt-tab to switch between recent windows (as that’s apparently broken by design in macOS).

I’ve configured so called “modes” for create a vim-command-like way of commanding windows and focus around. Eg hyper+m goes into _m_ove mode, from there I can press 1-9 to move a window to a specific space, or shift+1-9 to move and follow, or (shift+)q to move (and follow) a window to the latest focused space. (Hyper+q in “normal” mode moves me back and forth between recent spaces.)
I’ve got jump mode to go to an application by shortcut, and some app specific modes to bind key successions to shortcuts.

Oh, not trivial, hyper+enter gives me iTerm at any space

The nice thing about yabai with SIP disabled is that it’s snapping without _any_ delay, which is great when working with many windows.
Every one the site doesn't have good ARR. While investors may fund these now, they are funding on the expectation of getting their money back. And as of now enshittification for ads is the only proven way to earn revenue that is good enough for the valuation. Donation model or premium model(like discord or reddit premium) doesn't work.
The entire field of gynecology is founded upon intentional sadistic torture of women by male physicians. Tenaculam was originally invented to pull out bullet fragments out of soldiers. They never changed the design and use it to pinch the cervix and pulling it closer to the vaginal walls.

I just found out..fun fact: chainsaws were invented for childbirth. Yes. By two male doctors in 1780 to assist with Caesarian births to cut through the pelvic bone.

Think about such fun facts when you can’t answer ‘what is a woman?’

a more relevant question is: Why hasn’t the field of gynecology considerate enough to women’s pain? Just women’s healthcare in general. If penis cancer can only be detected by smashing the penis between two metal x ray plates just like they do with mammograms, then we would have cured cancer by now.
However that's the only wrong one.
>I think it's a clear example of something that can't be described by standard set theory.

It absolutely can be described by naive set theory. You literally just did it.

It also is not a mathematical object in ZFC, there is no way to construct it.

>I'm not trying to open up a discussion on what statements are true in every possible version of set theory, or the implication in other branches of math.

But that is the only way the statement could ever be false. In standard mathematics, founded on ZFC, every object is a set. So the only way the statement could ever be false is if you look at different foundations and broader theories.
Now they are being explicit about their intentions

This is a sign of digital media publication industry getting squeezed out of its financial resources due to oncoming recession in manufacturing and the global economy. When the total number of subscribers start dwindling, all they can do is pass that squeeze to the only existing subscribers who pay. Not sure if this will help them survive though. What we need is a team of macro economists and technocrats who know their stuff to fix this recession. We need the John Maynard Keynes of our times.
In terms of raw crime stats, Statistics Canada lists motor vehicle theft as slightly on the rise from 2020 to 2021, but down substantially from 2011[1].

Interestingly, this page[2] shows a breakdown of several years leading up to the latest stats which show that it was out of control prior to the pandemic and 2020 was the best year recently (I assume because many were at home so less opportunity).

The concerning thing might be though, that the number of people charged has not substantially changed, despite the number of thefts decreasing by about 9000 (~11%) in 2020. Police services across the country seem to charge roughly 5500 people with auto theft each year, though slightly down recently with youth dropping significantly.

The article's focus on how this is a sudden problem when the rates are substantially lower (as of the 2021 data) than they were in 2019 is pretty weird. It also appears to be incorrect about the numbers of vehicle thefts in 2015. They claim it's 3284 but StatsCan lists just Toronto as having 6623 in 2015.[3]

This all does point to a failure by Toronto PD (and bigger picture, other police departments) to enforce, and might explain the relative explosion of vehicle theft. In the years 2015 through 2021, the maximum amount of people they have charged with motor vehicle theft is 514. In that same span, thefts rose from 6623 to 14,032. Since it doesn't seem to be punished, just do more of it I guess. The difference in numbers appears to come from the fact that their linked report is using only Toronto PD's reporting but they aren't going to have all of the numbers because Ontario's provincial police force also operates in and around the city.

That 22B is gross profit and highly misleading in this context, since it excludes fixed costs like rents and salaries and also taxes.

> Also, is that mainline Linux or are we going down the hacked kernel route of the ARM boards where someone is going to have to pick through the source to get the patches otherwise it will remain on an ancient unsupported kernel?

My initial impression is that there are no binary blobs[1]. You can look at the repo it is using over here: https://github.com/milk-v/cvitek-linux-5.10

I think getting the full sources alone is sufficient. It might not be desirable for the Linux team to accept patches for every standalone piece of hardware. As long as the patches for the actual ISA are mainlined I consider that a win.

[1] Maybe there are, I didn't look too closely at the repo, but it looks to me that it's all source code.
I think this is trying to fill a niche that has already been plenty filled.

The 64 MB of RAM seems to limit this to applications comparable to Allwinner F1C200s that came out ages and ages ago, which is an SiP that integrates RAM and can do video processing (h264). It doesn't look like the SOPHGO CV1800B inside this even has proper graphics acceleration.

For making proper "intelligent" things, you would want a much more powerful chip. Something like the Rockchip RK3588 is state of the art with 4x A76 + 4x A55. Even at the lower end in terms of cost, NXP's i.MX 8M Nano has 4x A52 at only $15 ish from digikey. Their i.MX 6 line is even more affordable.

You can argue that this is a modern version of the extreme low end, but at this point why not also consider more powerful MCU options like STM32H7 or RT1170?

mutexes are not that slow.

Uncontested (single thread):

incrementing using atomics took 0.002011 s (0.2513 ns / increment)
incrementing using mutex took 0.005515 s (0.6894 ns / increment)

Contested (8 threads trying to increment a single protected integer):

incrementing using atomics took 0.1069 s (13.36 ns / increment)
incrementing using mutex took 1.970 s (246.3 ns / increment)

So mutexes are roughly the same speed in the uncontested case, and about 20x slower in this heavily contested case.

I am first one to throw stone at diversity, but I disagree with this article.

- Problem is a widespread corruption, not diversity specifically. Soviet union, Iran, Saudis, even Nazi Germany had this common problem. Healthy society would fix inefficiencies, unhealthy society promotes them. Diversity can improve efficiency if done right!

- Complex systems will survive, even thrive! Societies like late stage Soviet Union could maintain complex industries, electric grids, space program etc very well. Even 3th world countries are capable of maintaining complex infrastructure while society starves. For example North Korea develops satellites, nukes and rockets... It is connected to ruling class and essential for its power.

- End result is that "non essential" will decline. Stuff like life expectancy, fertility, health care... We can already see that.
I think everyone in our industry should make a habit of leaving jobs that don’t make them happy. I know this is very privileged, and I’m really sorry for anyone whom it doesn’t apply to, but if you’re fortunate enough to find yourself in a buyers market, you should make use of it. You don’t have to put up with things, and I know this gets a lot easier once you become more senior in your roles, but you don’t. Impostor syndrome is rampant in our industry, many IT professionals leave productivity jobs because of stress and burn out, and it’s often down to “pseudo-jobbers” taking up too much space in our industry. At least in my anecdotal experience. The only way to improve it though, is to leave the teams where they have more process people than people who actually add value, that, and say no to meetings.

I know it’s very easy for me to say this as someone with a lot of options and more experience. I certainly remember having too many fucks, and too many worries in my early years. But I promise you, that once you know that everyone writes shit code on a Thursday afternoon after 3 days of no sleep because your twins kept you up, then a lot of your fucks will slowly disappear. I also promise you that there is nothing more hilarious than to tell a PO, PM or whatever, a blank “no thanks, I’m good” when they try to dupe you into a useless meetings with whatever communication they learned in their too short “MBA” course. The look on their faces when you say “no” to their “that wasn’t meant to be an option” question is just too hilarious, and what are they going to do? If they pressure you, you’re just going to take a job somewhere else and then they’ll have no one to do actual work. Don’t be an asshole about it though, you can be perfectly friendly and charming while you say no.

Anyway, to get back to the topic. I also think that once you start having too few fucks (or too much stress/depression/burnout) then it’s probably time to look elsewhere. Obviously it’s very individual, but in my anecdotal experience you can move past this sort of phase, but it’s also very “easy” to find yourself having mentally quit, and then it’s not healthy for you to stay and it’s not fair to your team either.

This just illustrates the DoD's hysterical obsession with secrecy. The US, UK, Russia, France, China and India have nuclear submarines. Brazil is building a nuclear submarine. Australia is buying nuclear submarines.

In 1960 you had a good argument for classifying reactors, but it's ridiculous to pretend the US still has a nuclear monopoly sixty years later. This is declining-empire stuff, a fading power trying to keep up a pretense that has long since grown thin.
Fascinating that a supposedly numbers fellow has no numbers on reliability, just on race.
