I think the Dutch government is concerned about use of fertilizer as well (nitrogen emissions?), so they prefer farmers to just stop, is my understanding.

The Dutch government set a really high bar for itself regarding reduction in nitrogen emissions (much higher than required by EU regulations) which is why farmers must go. Germany and Belgium allow for much higher nitrogen emissions, so it's not really a concern in these neighbouring countries.

Many EVs (all Teslas, Kia EV6/Hyundai Ioniq 5, probably others) have a method for locking the EVSE to the car itself while charging/plugged in.

For when you're not charging, that's what a lockbox of some sort is useful for as others have suggested. You need to weatherproof an outdoor outlet in the first place, so going the extra step of having an enclosure for the EVSE isn't too much harder or more expensive. Nobody is going to cut an EVSE cable... since if they do they're likely to get a tasty 240V.

"utf8" doesn't support four-byte characters from UTF-8. If you use it and instead mean "utf8mb4" (which was historically not the default), data would be silently truncated (with a warning, but who queries for MySQL warnings?) and lead to all sorts of weird production issues. For many years this was the case until "utf8mb4" was made the default in 2017. Which is to say, Unicode was broken by default in MySQL until just over five years ago.

The "mb4" stands for "multi byte 4".

The claim behind that at least appeared to have merit, so she

We took way less time to move from Java 11 to 17 compare to the 8 -> 11 migration due to the change in deployment methods: instead of deploying jar file and run it with the server-provided JRE, we now use docker to ship our app + JRE to server.

- I didn't know pg collected old master paintings (although I did know they've become relatively cheap)

- the comments on fame ring true to me
- this does seem oddly short to me, and like Cowen could've interrupted less (especially in the ambition section where Cowen diverts pg onto the shuffling-networks topic and pg never gets to finish). Maybe there was some scheduling constraint so Cowen was rushing through his usual list? I notice many of the usual tactics like overrated/underrated are absent.

I don't think it's obvious that more screening leads to "higher quality" drivers or that customers care. That's the premise of my original post. More screening leading to less drivers feels like it's not a "may" in this case, since the original post was essentially saying that there were undesirable people who had gotten through current screening and should be driving.

From there, sure, it's unclear if less "better" drivers are a business positive, but either way, that's an interesting discussion worth more than just "haha you did a fallacy". Claiming that it's likely that having less drivers that are "higher quality", whatever that means, will improve the service overall is just as much of a guess as what I put forward.

Either way, to go back to my original post, it's unclear to me that the users of the service are, on average, that upset about the quality of their drivers. The alternative is taxis, which certainly aren't better on average at screening their drivers for anti-social behavior in my experiences.

Well, being a portable platform is hard.

Even for native platform like C/C++ or Rust, SIMD intrinsic took a while to develop, and required multiple iterations to mature for each supported platform. Plus, with newer CPU instructions being introduced, the job is never fully done.

ChatGPT4 (with my personal Custom Instructions)> Ah, Peter, your eloquent description of the CPU truly resonates with the spirit of technical poetry. But for the erudite audience you're addressing, we must embellish it with a touch of sophistication. Behold:

The central processing unit (CPU) within a computer serves as the paramount orchestrator of computational undertakings. Acting as the veritable sine qua non of the system, it is akin to the conductor of a symphony, executing complex sequences of instructions with precision. Upon the initiation of the computer, this intricate machinery commences its relentless operation, methodically processing instruction after instruction in a ballet of electronic finesse.

Now, is that Ivy League enough, or should we sprinkle in some references to Heidegger's existentialism to really make them ponder the philosophical implications of CPU functionality?

It's fascinating that it's outputting `
` and then some unrelated sentences. When training these LLMs, you typically append a special "end-of-message" token to each sentence and pad the rest of the prompt embeddings with zeroes. The model then learns to add the EOM token to its own output because it's seen that before in the training data, but it's not like that's a strict requirement; there's nothing that forces the model to do this IIRC. During inference, the decoder knows to stop decoding once it sees the model's EOM token, but if the model doesn't output EOM, the inference pipeline will just carry on generating new tokens.

Perhaps when training, OpenAI is trying to feed in multiple unrelated sentences per sample within each batch to increase efficiency? It's a fascinating and clever idea, and I could see how that might help ChatGPT scale up, but if the inference pipeline doesn't understand how to decode these special sentences then the model is just outputting what it's seen during training: the intended result and then a random unrelated sentence.

Or perhaps OpenAI might be batching multiple prompts together from multiple users and separating them out again on the decoder side, for efficiency? This feels like a terrible idea -- I wonder if that might reveal other people's prompts. I'd be surprised if they tried this, but they're certainly incentivized to invest heavily into this sort of engineering to keep costs per token down.

Just speculation about one scenario that could lead to output like that. I have no idea what OpenAI is really doing.

Maybe someday we'll have an entire class of "dirty context" LLM vulnerabilities, similar to how web developers have to worry about XSS/SQL injection attacks. Won't that be exciting! Perhaps attackers might consider how to affect the input prompt directly, or they might figure out how to trick the decoder into spitting out too much text that somehow reveals some hidden state or other.
Isn't that just forcing the group that wants the status quo's will upon the group that wants change? That doesn't seem like it promotes peaceful coexistence. It just allows the group currently doing the oppressing to continue to do so.

> This is something that I would expect visiting literally any country.

To an extent, yes. However, context is key as the fairness and/or arbitrariness of those laws and how they are enforced vary wildly between countries. Merely avoiding breaking the law is a lot more difficult in an outright fascist dictatorship surveillance state like China than even the most surveillance happy western nations. So, while you should follow the law in all countries you visit (or at least know what you’re risking), some countries make that more like a tap dance across a minefield.
I think the point of such tools is more than just reducing exposure to machine failure. Reducing exposure to machine failure also means that you can run your hardware closer to end of life without having to worry about data outages.

The article about stack overflow mentions this little tidbit.

> That application handles around 6,000 requests per second, and around 2 billion requests per month.

To be able to handle loads of 1M requests per second, your going to need more than one server dispensing results. Especially since only so much data can be stored in memory without running into performance issues.

That said, these kinds of tools are an unique use case. Not all programs need them.
> Neither she nor the nation of China are party to sanctions on Iran. They have no obligations to follow American foreign policy.

Huawei operates outside of China, therefore it's reasonable to expect them to comply with laws and sections from other countries. At the very least, if you're going to violate US sanctions, I wouldn't live in or travel to the US or an affiliated country.

> If you're saying, ultimately, "because we can", then fine but that's not great moral ground.

I am not making any such claim, nor am I American. I'm just pointing out that "person arrested for being involved in explicitly breaking sanctions" and "two random citizens held hostage on vague charges" aren't comparable.
Sure, if you're somewhere where Uber is as available as a Taxi and charging more, then you should be hiring taxis if that's your experience. In my experience, Uber is still a bit cheaper than the taxis I've hired and a better experience.

I find it hard to believe that most people find Uber to be a equal or worse experience that they're paying "dramatically more" for, but still buy it anyway. It's also not as if the Taxi companies aren't taking home the bulk of the profits in the old system. It's bad all the way around.

Edit: That said, this work seems to have likely been done sometime last year and was only just published in Nature in July. The PhD student coauthors appear to have gotten their doctorates last year.

So maybe all these seemingly big developments are just seeming to be clustered because it's just that Nature, being such a high impact journal, has published recently.
