Looking for guidance here.

There are a lot of courses out there on AI from esteemed institutions at that. What do people recommend as a curriculum for someone with a formal univ education in CS albeit from a while ago and who has programmed extensively though not in Python.

The goal at the end is to have a deep understanding of the LLM space and its adjacencies.
Individual motorized transport is a dead end, especially in cities, no matter if it has a driver or not.

It's just inherently energy- and space efficient to haul around a two ton piece of junk per 80kg person. Cities don't have the space, the planet doesn't have the energy to support it. We need to ban cars from cities in the longer term, both human- and AI-driven. For now, we need to take steps to get there. Reduce car lanes, increase bike lanes. Build out public transit.
Other experimental groups have failed to reproduce his results. There's good reason to be skeptical of this until we get multiple groups confirming it's real.
How is this any worse than what Saudi Arabia does, that we overtly consider a US ally?
Instead of judging Elon by quotes from people who might have something to gain by praising a narcissist, how about we judge Elon by the insanely dumb things he says and does on a near daily basis?

And you're right he has a degree, although he repeatedly lied about when he received it, and even lied about where he received it, so please forgive people for their confusion.
If you publish your idea before filing a patent, you will not be able to patent it, because your own publication will be held as prior art.
Pretty much. Try to get anything but the default OS working on a smartphone and you're in for a world of pain. Or even on most non-Pi SBCs for that matter. There is no kernel, no drivers for any of the onboard chipsets, there's just a big go fuck yourself from the manufacturer.
Yes, it's human nature. The fact Reddit didn't allow bad moderators to be removed played into it, too, which resulted in some oddities of the website: /r/Marijuana was run by assholes, so /r/Trees became the marijuana subreddit. /r/WorldPolitics was run by moderators who didn't actually moderate the content (other than for the absolute "Sitewide Rules" the admins will remove a subreddit for violating) so it wound up with an absurd amount of cartoon porn, which lead to /r/Anime_Titties becoming the subreddit to discuss world politics.

It's funny lore and it lead to the site having culture of a sort, but it points to a failure in upper-level administration. Reddit simply doesn't care about the product it's putting out, beyond some very basic rules aimed at trying to prevent the site itself from being sued, and it shows.
Both! I see a lot of real estate listings where I'm sure the average browser is unaware that a large construction project is about to begin on an adjacent property and ruin their views. For rental listings, prospective tenants might not know about excessive noise from a nearby road.

Really though super cool to hear a perspective from someone with inside knowledge!
Reverse psychology, that's a neat trick.
What is actually the task here? Parsing is clear and it looks like one has to sum all parsed timestamps, but what does the additional comment about the shortest time mean?
> In the presence of gravity, systems tend to go towards lower entropy, just see how a planetary system can form out of a gas cloud.

This isn't correct: the entropy (and energy) of the gas cloud goes decreases as it collapses, but the entropy of its surroundings increases faster as it radiates.
Minor correction, this is not a listener pattern, but React’s hook-based reactivity DSL.

It’s actually exactly the type of problem declarative UI libraries like react were supposed to prevent, yet here we are 8 years later.
FWIW, the last time I measured the string handling part was far slower than the timezone conversion when loading timestamptz data in postgres.
Having multiple job offers is probably the most achievable way to negotiate for the average SWE. Its a clear signal that you can walk away to the recruiters.

It also gives you the psychological safety to be more aggressive in your negotiation.
They did drop maoism. China practices state run capitalism now.
I agree. Order is a better term to describe it. Predictability. More entropy = more total possible states the system can be in.

I tend to use "information" to refer to a statistically-significant signal or data that the application/business can practically utilize. This is definitely not the same as the strict information theoretical definition.
Food is easier to transport than people and a warmer planet might be able to produce more food.
Some of the features are there, but not all:

It looks like each thread in scoped threads must be "manually started" (not launched automatically at the beginning of the scope).

No defined mechanisms for synchronization or data passing between scoped threads. There are probably ways it can be done, but I am not sure what approach would work best without some experimentation.

Useful? It would be a veritable revolution if we had access to room temperature, ambient pressure superconductors. Applications would be everywhere, even new ones would arise from people tinkering with it.
Please write more science articles/summaries. This is really well done—great combination of info-heavy while being interesting and readable.
You seem to be confused. The Bronze Age Collapse refers to events mostly centered in the Eastern Mediterranean, even though there were impacts elsewhere. The Dark Ages refers to events mostly centered in the Western Mediterranean as well as Western Europe, even though there were impacts elsewhere.
To be fair, the customer is both writing the tickets and doing the scoring here.
There's already driverless cabs with no one behind the wheel running. Just not 24/7.

If some accident or bug occurs, they currently just stop completely until a person comes out
I think this is just complacency and a bias towards how things are; imagine a world in which biking is safe, pedestrians are safe, and huge amounts of the city don't have to be devoted to parking. That's what 24/7 driverless cars can enable.
I honestly think it makes sense. In a high intensity conflict, the a10 just isn't survivable. That doesn't mean we should replace it with an f35 though. Dropping a JDAM 10 miles away isn't the same. You're still going to have a need for something flying low and slow over the battlefield, even if just providing forward air control for the fast jet dropping the heavy ordnance. And that mission is just so risky (I believe CAS is by far the most dangerous mission to undertake). I think this is where UAVs are going to shine. We should replace the a10 with some additional UAVs capable of providing the CAS and FAC missions. Ideally this should be done with a relatively attritable airframe, something cheap and easy to maintain, and being able to take off from improvised or degraded airfields would be a nice plus. Make them networked so that the grunts on the ground can see what the operator is seeing, and can point them in the right direction.

Ultimately if he had a peer reviewed paper, a patent disclosure could have been filed concurrently. Investors would much prefer to back the team that did X vs the inevitable folks who think X is easy.

The lack of peer review or replication makes this almost a guaranteed fraud.

Hopefully they had the foresight to test this.
We do this at my job. Do you have any good articles that describe clearly why this is bad?

On the surface I assume it’s because you need to load all the js, create the dom, and then apply css in that order instead of just having a separate file for css loaded quickly at the beginning and letting the dom load in after.

But is there a benefit to css in js where only the css used in the components your rendering is loaded? Like an automatic code splitting for css?
That's why I mentioned parental responsibility. It's the parent's house and they choose where they take their children outside it.
Not a physicist or engineer but I can speak to it as a layman.

Superconductors enable some deep magnetic magic which is used in all kinds of things from fusion reactors to MRI machines.

Current superconductors require cryogenic temperatures to operate though, which limits their applications, makes them extremely expensive to operate, and too complicated for large scale manufacturing.

An ambient temperature superconductor, even if the material itself was hideously expensive, would make these extraordinarily powerful technologies much easier to develop and deploy.
No, but it's 2/3. Then you divide by 2 because the area of the triangle is half the area of the rectangle.
> UNIX time ignores leap seconds.

Side note but I always found this phrasing to be incredibly confusing (hence the need for the "i.e."...); it's the exact opposite of what I would think it means to "ignore" leap seconds. Ignoring something means you don't change your behavior when that something happens. But when leap seconds happen, the epoch timestamp halts its counting. That's not ignoring leap seconds -- that's actively countering the leap seconds!

Is it..? All the replies to this thread just mention how he has abhorrent politics but there's no specifics. I'm not sure anyone really knows why they dislike him, and thought critically about it. A lot of it seems assumption-based, fed mostly by the media who is Twitter's biggest competitor. And on Hacker News, of all places. I'd think it the most likely place to find people who understand the rift between tech and trad media, and that character assassination is the biggest tool used by one particular side in this war. Instead the middling tech armchair specialists who partake in and promote the culture that birthed Elon and his multitude of companies have bought the other side's narrative to hate on their own.
No one is behind the wheel. Right now there is no mechanism for a third party such as law enforcement to reliably stop or redirect the vehicle.* Yes, it is possible that an issue could occur and the vehicle will keep driving.*

Theres actually a whole thing in the law about who to sue and how damages are dealt with, specifically that one goes for the Big offender for the full amount and then that party can pursue the smaller offenders to repay thier share of the costs.
As a minor musician, I have to say I find the entire legal model around music to be effing ridiculous and more harmful to the art and society than the benefit justifies

It all disproportionately benefits big names and corporations while small time creators and performers get screwed.

The moment recordings came into play it all got screwed up.

Before recordings every musician made their living exclusively from performances and every musician copied each other constantly.

We lost so much with the advent of recording and the associated development of copyrights etc.

The proof is in the numbers: management and corps take the lion's share of revenues within the industry, with the actual musicians and creatives getting a paltry pittance.

In the extremely unlikely event this happens and the AV doesn’t pull over the footage is saved for a time so the other driver/pedestrian/etc can simply contact the company/police for insurance claims.
Pretty similar to the US. We don’t really have true representism. We just have two parties instead of one, but I’d wager the wills and wants of the ruling elite are just as far removed from the true wills and wants of the populace as they are in china.
Your comment reminds me of the chapter 6 of the book "Only the Paranoid Survive" about Signal or Noise. One story is about the X-ray technology from Japan to produce better chips. IBM decided to invest in that technology while Intel didn't. The rest is business history.
It seems unlikely that omnipotent 3 letter agencies have been the cause of African strife for the last 30 years.

Economics does.

Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa have decent economies, and they've followed the same path as many other developed countries.

Moving away from agriculture and raw resource extraction, building industry, and then identifying, incubating, scaling, and exporting services.

The fact that other countries in the region haven't done the same, specifically the largest Ethiopia and DRC, has more to do with internal civil wars.

Hopefully recent stability in Ethiopia and engaging additional generation capacity at the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will kickstart the Ethiopian economy.

(And no, civil wars aren't all started by 3 letter agencies)
There are multiple failsafes to prevent a “keeps on driving from a software bug”.

There are overseers who are remotely monitoring vehicle telemetry. If there is an accident, the company will know before anyone else and will respond accordingly.
I guess my point is that what you really dislike are niche pedantic gotcha questions, not 'very specific questions you can Google an answer to in 3s'. I fully agree with that btw.
Thanks for linking me to that post! Its much better at expressing what I'm trying to say. I'll have a careful read of it now.

I think I'm still at a step before the overfit. It doesn't converge to a solution on its training data (fit or overfit). And all my data is artificially generated so no cleaning is needed (though choosing a representation still matters). I don't know if that's what you mean by getting the data right or something else. Example problems that "don't work": fizzbuzz, reverse all characters in a sentence.
Bronze Age Collapse includes the Near East all the way to the Caucasus.
Reminds me of the 3D visualization that you could get for Dwarf Fortress. Some “painted” and others tried real-time updates.
Best solutions are the simplest ones, and this is the right one! It's an electrical coupling issue so I think it should be fixed electrically.
My apologies, I must have been mixed up.
I am sure there’s a great deal we can learn about how the brain actually functions from such simulations.

However GNNs don’t really capture the underlying mechanisms very well. Our brains use different kinds of Neurons which also use many different neural transmitters, their location in 3D space matters, as do stuff like blood alcohol content, O2 levels, adrenaline, signal propagation delays, etc it’s a stupidly complicated system even above and beyond the number of neurons.
In this world, we'll still have giant hunks of steel zooming around our cities, creating noise, taking up space and wasting energy to move themselves around (the payload to weight ratio of cars is abysmal).

We need to get rid of cars altogether, with exceptions for emergency services etc.
Like everything worth anything in life. Hard work
agreed... I know a lot more folks that SSRIs have messed up in a variety ways than psychedelics... we should offer folks MORE options when fighting depression/anxiety and encourage experimentation
If it works, I would wonder how sensitive the result is to temperature and pressure shocks. If it is very sensitive, this may be a significant limitation on practical applications.

For example virtually all portable devices wind up going through much faster temperature shifts than that. And raising it above the temperature that it was designed to work at, even for a short time, might result in no superconductivity.

That isn't to say that it wouldn't be a very useful substance to have. But again, we need to wait and see.
The obvious explanation is that German ISP's blocked 711chan, so the onion service is the only way for them to access the site.

I would start with a fastai course such as practical deep learning for coders.

After doing one of the fastai courses you will have some applied Python project experience and you can hone in deeper on a particular part of the project you are more interested in intellectually.
Last I heard the output of an AI was uncopyrightable. Didn't some court case determine that?
Google or YouTube could probably give you a good nutshell answer to that.
Define “deep understanding” here? You certainly have to lean python, at least because you are gonna need it for data manipulation and cleaning no matter what you do in this field.
Although I myself am not related to the industry or academia pertaining to AI, I have heard many people speak highly of the zero to hero course by Andrej Karpathy: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAqhIrjkxbuWI23v9cThsA9Gv...

I myself loved it and learned a lot, but YMMV
I just realized that programmers of production loads can quickly switch to ESM. Just perform a global replace of 'require' using 'import'.

What's actually preventing this from happening is the fact that not all official packages are ESM ready.

So the solution might be actually very easy. Set a deadline for the implementation of ESM and send frequent notifications to developers.

After the deadline all those running production loads will have to switch to ESM syntax when updating. This seems facile and organized.
Neil Postman was only slightly wrong. Optimizing Ourselves to Death indeed.
It's entirely possible that this tech isn't yet ready for an expansion, but this article does a shit job of demonstrating that. The alternative is not perfect drivers. The alternative is real human drivers who make all kinds of mistakes every day. I completely believe that these incidents are real, but without comparison to the actual alternative, it's useless information.
Extremely useful!

For one, it would allow current-based forms of memory storage. Right now, non-volatile memory is always stored as a voltage*, because static charges can be held without decay. Superconductors allow that for current. This also is great for sensors. For example whereas a copper ring will have a brief current when exposed to a changing magnetic field, a superconductor will have a current that perfectly tracks and cancels any magnetic flux it is exposed to. It can bring AC effects down to DC. And due to zero losses (and zero Nyquist noise), it could be used to, for example, make more sensitive antennas.

Secondly, even if you don't care about the losses in terms of power consumption, you almost always care about losses in terms of heat. Superconductive motor windings, for example, would allow motors to not only be more efficient, they could also be much more power-dense because of less heat generation.

And then there are the really fun applications, like levitation.

That's a very weird phenomenon that I'm not quite sure what to make of it. It's certainly a disorienting user experience.
>As a person who has taken marketing classes, yes, I make sure my toddlers have close to 0 Disney and Nintendo exposure.

Good for you. I didn't take that level of a position, we had a Wii in the house and watched some Disney movies. We've never been a big TV watching family though, we'd only watch stuff we chose to watch, like specific TV shows and movies but never just had the TV on. Of course I ensured my girls were educated in the classics. Sailor Moon, Buffy, Xena, MLP:FIM and such.
Web Annotations spec is a great starting place & I hope we can some day see some real breakout wins from it. I'd love to see some cross integration with ActivityPub, as a syndication/transport!

What I really want is no site to win; true success doesn't come from centralized solutions. Each user should have their own annotation feed!

What I'd love to see is something like the return of blogrolls, an annotater's list of people they follow. Users promoting users. A good extension could let us do a N-degrees exploration, let us see comments of people we follow, people they follow, people those people follow... Expanding the network & implicitly suggesting to us other people we might want to follow.

I personally really really loved the social aspect of del.icio.us. Finding other people who were searching deep for interesting content was something I spent time on & it rewarded me handsomely, back in the day. I hope for similar thing here we're not just using this to have annotations, we're also using it as a content discovery tool, seeing what content there is from people we follow.

I'd try to suggest sites should have something like pingbacks, to make it so the site can keep track of annotations. But that would let them filter anotations which I don't like, and more problematically, it's an opt in mechanism. Having centralized search systems seems obvious. Ideally maybe some kind of kademlia hash might offer a P2p alternative. It's quite possible maybe bittorrent pex's P2p layer could be used/abused for this.
Yes, I thought that was a bizarre lacuna in the narrative. This guy has two Kids tablets and all of a sudden it's in the hands of an adversary. Well, of course if someone absconds with one of your personal devices and gets full access, you'll be pwned. They left out the most intriguing part of the story.
Unless you take all human driven cars off the road, you’re not going to get nearly the efficiency and safety you describe.

I, for one, don’t want to live in a world where my ability to go anywhere is decided by Google and Uber.

Big Tech has way, way too much power already. Please don’t give them any more of it.
If Jack is the majority shareholder (I don't know if he is, just using this as an example), they have to do what he says.

Twitter has a CEO now, but the majority shareholder is Musk. She cannot do anything without his permission. Were I CEO I would remove that childish poop emoji auto-responder but I don't think she has that kind of authority. Facebook has a board of directors, but Zuck is the majority shareholder, so they have to do whatever he wants, so they spent time and money on the metaverse when a normal corporation might have said let's not.
