Does the shape of the grid matter? If not, I think you'd benefit from constraining the width such that the data for three rows fits within L1, so that iterating over one row leaves the data from the start of the next row in L1 by the time you get to it.
I’m not the person you replied to, but this is the feature I was describing above when I said long press on the keyboard. I was borking my memory: it used to be a deep press (when that was a thing) anywhere on the keyboard.

Now, as you say, it’sa long press on the space bar. The problem with that solution is that it’s incredibly slow (perceptually).

This is a large part of why I say no one at apple is working day to day on an iPad. If someone there were forced to, this would be fixed. — or declared to be impossible to fix, I suppose.

From about 2015 to 2021 I was waiting to be able to only take my iPad with me on trips. That was never pleasant, not really possible.

Now I have an M1 MacBook Air, and my iPad is the device collecting dust at home.

Mesa advertises support for OpenCL[1], so the idea of using it as an ML backend isn't ridiculous. But I can't speak to whether or not anybody has actually tried to make that work, or where it stands.

That's just it. The way politicians solved it is by making theft under a certain dollar amount a lesser offense so nobody bothers reporting it anymore.

Apparently one way of reducing crime is by making certain types of theft not illegal.

> pay someone to stand at the door and check receipts
... And if the person refuses to have their receipt checked? Is the store going to risk liability of their employee or being sued by the customer if they're injured? Very real risks and not worth letting a person just walk out. My local grocery stores have receipt checkers and I still see people walk out with full carts. Security will stand in front of them but the thieves just walk around them because even security isn't allowed to touch shoplifters

Less than that if you care about security patches. Debian's Security team stop after ~18-24 months, at which point it transitions off to, quote, "Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian Security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success.".
Red Hat's Mike McGrath explains [1]:

The CentOS Stream gitlab source is where we build RHEL releases, in the open for all to see. To call RHEL “closed source” is categorically untrue and inaccurate. CentOS Stream moves faster than RHEL, so it might not be on HEAD, but the code is there. If you can’t find it, it’s a bug – please let us know.

Users Are Impatient. Tips to Speed Up Your Website
I'm reading an interesting book about our potential future - The Future of Almost Everything (Patrick Dixon). I paid attention to one interesting statistical fact that the Internet made us very impatient. Most users press the "Back" button in their browser for less than four seconds if the webpage is loading slowly. It means losing up to 90% of clients for four seconds.

In 2025, 90% of young users of the Internet probably will press the "Back" button after less than 1.5 seconds.

I suppose it's crucially important to have your website working fast. So, let's consider some techniques I use personally.
Kagan* explicitly references the court "[refusing] to respect the full scope of the delegations that Congress makes to the Executive Branch", which is simply not what happened. Congress did not delegate that power to the executive.

It's odd to get something so fundamentally incorrect and go "trust me bro" when it comes to the issue of standing. Apart from anything else, has she never heard the maxim "stick to one lie at a time"?

That's interesting, and a bit surprising. Peak tick activity in the US coincides with outdoor activity in times and places where you're doing a lot of sweating, and are more or less at equipotential with the ground. I suppose they could be attracted first to dry clothing, then to skin nearby, though.

And dog ticks obviously wouldn't face the same problem, since they produce minimal sweat through their fur.
> More affluent people would be charged more for the exact same box of crackers.

Or less, because they buy more stuff, and luring them into your store, especially for repeat visits, is worth it.

This is how it works today, just not to this level of granularity. Poor people can't buy the value size because they don't have the cash flow. Costco customers save a lot of money -- but they have big enough houses to store the large sizes.

It's really expensive to be poor.
> Medicine is getting better, technology is getting better.

I think standing as a whole is a useful rule, but it needs to be disambiguated and more consistently enforced. The Court has always used standing as a convenient excuse to weasle out of difficult subjects.
Normally I would agree with that statement. I'm not sure if you say "people" to mean "proclaimed experts" or "people citing 'experts'", so I'll discuss both.

For "proclaimed experts", there are often arguments on very uncertain topics such as this AI thread. When there isn't actually much in the way of concrete evidence, the kind that science is based on, the reputation of an "expert" may be a reasonable filter to avoid low quality discussion. Would that people don't take so much stock in these "experts" because the discussions themselves are full of glorified speculation, though.

For "people citing 'experts'", someone who is citing "experts" that are of dubious background may not be arguing in good faith. At that juncture, it may be best to abandon the argument.

I suppose that I don't think much of the discussions of AI here are productive because of the lack of concrete evidence and the slinging of personal beliefs as fact. They mostly come out as noise to me.
ChatGPT is useful in a way that block chain never was. There may be inflated expectations, but we are already on “the plateau of productivity.” I don’t think LLMs are overhyped relative to the normal background levels of tech hype.
Your theory is that because I have seen abusive content, my sense of humor is now so broken that the things I find funny are objectively bad? That makes no sense at all.

Sure, bub. Your personal preferences just happen to be objectively correct, and mine are due to my ignorance and brokenness. Whatever you say.

Same reason many people in sales are heavy drinkers - they wine and dine and entertain people to convince them to give them money, usually to their detriment, which is easier to stomach by all if they're drunk.
The seller is paying the buyer's agent so I'm not sure why they'd have a fiduciary duty to the buyer. Agents aren't about representation at all. That's what your lawyer and lender are for (the lender acts in your best interest in their own self interest). The purpose of the agents are to make the transaction happen. The seller's agent handles this on the seller side, e.g. showing the house, making it available for inspections, etc. The buyer's agent makes this happen on the buyer's side, e.g. makes sure the buyer schedules the inspections, has their lender lined up, etc. The agents are there to make the deal happen. That's their only purpose.

Supreme Court rules for web designer wanting to discriminate against gay clients
Yes agreed. It seems to me that the more rigid the culture (Britain, Scandinavia, Japan etc) the more they binge drink.
So often it seems that people are upset about SCOTUS decisions, especially when it's to strike down an existing law, because they feel that what that struck law was doing was a good thing.

It's not the Court's job to decide what is good policy and bad policy. The Court's job is to decide what's legal within the framework of the Constitution, the country's treaties, and other laws. It's quite possible that SCOTUS is striking down a law that was a really good law, and would have been really good policy. But the Court isn't supposed to be looking at that. They're supposed to be looking at our system of laws, and deciding based on that.

To the extent that good policy is being struck down, you need to look to the Legislators (or in this case, the Executive) who are doing a bad job of fitting the policy into our system of laws. Or if that system of laws is the problem, then work on changing that system.

Don't blame the Court when they're doing their job properly, noting that the rest of the government is violating our laws. These kinds of controls are important in the big picture.

> So is the "engineering" part of this finessing the input and massaging the output?

I don't know if I'll ever use the phrase "AI Engineer" myself, but there's plenty of meaningful engineering work in that space that strays pretty far from just calling some provider's APIs. A few that come to mind just for LLMs:

- Custom fine-tuning of foundational models both in the classic sense and with more modern strategies like PEFT/QLoRA

- Data preprocessing pipelines to help automate fine-tuning, vectorization, etc

- Continuous integration suites to evaluate models on standard benchmarks as they change over time

- Vector db / semantic search engineering to help decorate context windows effectively

- Architecting ensemble models infrastructure to accommodate more complex task processing

I think many of those probably going into what folks are calling the "MLOps" bucket, but I think its a more broadly a combination of research, application engineering, and operations engineering.

Edit: for clarity, my position is that the line in the article between AI Engineer and ML Engineer need not be that bright. Just like software engineers today that write/operate their own devops tooling to deploy and manage the apps they build.
The TSA DGAF about GDPR
It's different because the relevant law yesterday was about colleges that are funded by the government. If the website designer was funded by the government they could also have imposed significantly more restrictions.

One of the issues arbitrageurs have is that as they get good and bigger they can run out of things to arbitrage.
I've been trying to understand the rationale of the court in simpler terms. Is this an adequate understanding of the reasoning:

1. Congress delegates some of its authority to issue/handle student loans to the executive branch via the US dept of education and some legislation passed in the past.

2. As President and leader of the executive branch, Biden wants to utilize the authority granted to him to modify the terms of the loans due to the impact of the COVID 19 national emergency. [0].

3. As part of his loan modifications, he wants to forgive a certain portion of the loans altogether, for which he was sued.

4. The Supreme Court ruled that the modifications of the loan forgiveness were ultimately unconstitutional due to the major questions doctrine, implying that while Congress may have delegated some authority to the executive branch for managing loans, outright forgiveness on such a scale would be considered economically significant, and therefore would be presumed not to be delegated. [1].

Am I missing something?

> If it was so certain that they had no intention of going through with it, why not call their bluff and turn the responsibility for killing it back on them?

That's the wrong question. It was never if they had "intention of going through with it," it was about if they would be able to actually pull it off. The GGP stated "This was doomed to fail from the beginning and I bet they knew it," and I have to agree. Their plan to push this through purely via executive action was very likely to fail (and did), and the lawyers and politicians who formulated almost certainly knew the odds.

Modern joysticks feel more fragile in some ways. In the N64's case, game design evolved to not have us abuse them as much anymore. Palm blisters from playing Mario Party's rotate-the-stick-as-fast-as-you-can minigames were pretty common... But the controllers lasted a while, even the third party ones, even if eventually they started showing problems. I wanted some nostalgia years ago on an emulator and tried that with an xbone controller, one match of tug-of-war was all it took and I found myself having to solder in a new sensor. Since then if I get the urge again, or some other game needs me to rotate fast to win, I just lose.
>So you know many Austrians your age that live in inherited homes?

Not directly, but in various forms yes, the young can only afford to buy property if helped out with funds from their wealthy parents . It's not directly inheriting, but it's still generational wealth transfer. My ex, her parents bought her an apartment in the city center when she moved to study (not Viena, another big city). When I went to a house visit to see who can afford to pay 700k on a run down old house, it was moistly Zoomers with wealthy parents there to purchase a nest egg for their kids.

And the whole new vs old contract situation is again a generational wealth transfer. Those long ion the market sitting on cheap old contracts are swinging the balance the other direction for those new on the market who must pay exorbitant prices if they enter the market now.

Renting and being dependent on a landlord your whole life is also not ideal, especially if you didn't luck out to get locked into an older rent controlled contract at a good price, which is putting pressure on people wanting to move to a bigger palce and start families. Move to Vienna now and check out the rent prices.

>The same is true in Berlin, those that can live in an inherited home are a tiny minority.

Because Berlin demographics are mostly foreigners, but Germany is a lot bigger than Belrin, and housing there, like in Austria revolves around getting funded by the mom and dad to get intot he market.
> They want to train their LLM with some inventory facts like...

So are they actually intending to retrain their LLM every time the inventory changes? Because, otherwise, how is it going to "know" the current state of the inventory? This is useless after a single sale or a single new delivery without retraining. (And it's likely useless before that anyways.)

And if they already have a database of inventory data with all this then they could just generate a report the "old fashioned" way that's worked for decades.

I have a poke stop next to my house. I see random cars pulled up there all hours of the night. I'm not worried about any robbers at this point. It's always someone looking at their phone for about 5-10 minutes and driving off. Last week there was a dude there in the dark. I just yelled out from my driveway (100 feet away) "you catch em all"... response was a sigh and "not yet". Guy was gone 3 minutes later.

It's like the video game equivalent of a smoke break at this point. Just a little thing to do.

There's a QA guy at the bar by my house who has 5 phones with him when he's drinking. 3 are pokemon, 2 are for work... 50% tho on if he works for niantic, hope he's still got a job. I live real close to their seattle office.
