We need a fundamental rehaul of the system which sadly won't happen without major effort and maybe bloodshed because in the least (assuming we still want to keep Capitalism) somehow we will have to 1) Remove the political power groups that benefit from past 40 years' global development, and 2) Remove similar groups in any other sphere that support the people in 1).

Maybe WW3 can bring it and keep it for a couple of decades, if we don't all die in the mushrooms.
It would probably be f**g awesome, but should be spread out over a few years.
It is common for all doomsayers that their timing sucks and is on timescale from next week to 50 years in future. Most of them have nothing more than gut feeling, so having actual model, verifying predictions and adjusting it to actual results is so rare it is worth informing about.
It probably also means ecology is more of a science than economy ever was. And that is despite having same issues - very complex systems, where everything impacts something else and no real way to perform any experiments.

I have 2 phones that are practically useless for daily use: iPhone XS and iPhone X - my iPhone XS face id stopped working after bigger moisture in SE Asia, my sister iPhone X screen was broken and after screen replacement also face id stopped working.

Authorised apple repair shops quoted ~300 euro for face id replacement - with a caveat that if they detect any moisture they won't fix it at all. For that price I can buy any of those phones second hand.

Unauthorised shops told me they have no way to replace face id.

With android phones at least you can unlock your phone not with pin code but with gesture or unlock with cheap smart mi band. I knew apple watch can be used to unlock your phone but it WONT work if you face id or touch id IS broken.

So all those phones are just sitting on a shelf and I use one just for app testing.

With apple serialising parts I think things are just getting worse, not better - what's the point when you are forced to buy genuine parts from apple (instead of genuine but from donor devices) and still have to go through authorised repair shop and this is economically just not worth it?

What's the point of your 'right to repair' but you have to pay 50-100% of you (second-hand) device price?
What I find most impressive is improving performance while other developers continue to land new features in the same code base.
That's mostly the fault of the Republicans. After the crisis of 2008 we could have bounced back using either fiscal policy or monetary policy. Congress could have spent a few trillion in stimulus to get the economy back on track. By 2010 it was clear that the initial stimulus of $800 billion was not enough, so further stimulus spending should have been a high priority, but the Republicans blocked further fiscal action. That meant that the Fed had to do all the work, using monetary policy. We didn't get the kind of big stimulus spending we needed till 2020, when President Trump finally pushed through several trillion in stimulus spending in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. But for years after 2008, the Fed had to do too much work, with monetary policy, because Congress was doing too little with fiscal policy. It would have been healthier for the economy if we'd had fiscal stimulus in the real economy rather than monetary stimulus in the financial economy. Wages would have gone up much more with fiscal stimulus.

I have never heard of such a thing and honestly it would be pretty impractical in case of, say, a macbook which has quite limited view of its surroundings (e.g. you close it).

What apple (and samsung, etc) does is not let the thief actually power off the device without a password, so until the battery lasts it can share its location via some way to the owner.

You are jumping over a key step in the development from blues to rock. There wasn’t just black blues followed by white rock. There was nascent rock that was still a black art form, but a very sexually expressive one (whence the very name of the genre) – the folk art wasn’t just about expressing Black hardships, but also getting down and getting nasty. Once you consider that interim stage where some rebelliousness was already present, it isn’t hard to see a smooth evolution from one genre to another, albeit early white rock intentionally purged the sexual element.

Single-use anything can be a climate change problem (besides being an obvious pollution problem). Single-use means new onrs being constantly manufactured and used ones being constantly destroyed/recycled.

Rough calculation: typical quantization is 4 bit, so 7b weights fit in in 3.6GB, then my rule of thumb would be 2GB for the activations and attention cache (not usually quantized). So 6 or 8 GB VRAM would probably do it. llama.cpp will let you offload your choice of layers to GPU, so you could probably get quite a way with 4GB.

JSON isn’t ambiguous when it comes to this. Numbers are arbitrary precision decimal numbers[1].

I’m guessing your issue is with how Javascript interprets JSON numbers as 32 bit floats. But that is a (mis-)feature of JavaScript and switching your serialization format to XML would not help, because JavaScript represents all numbers as 32-bit floats.

We have sequenced the genome using different sampling and statistical models for a long time.
My thinking is that companies are using AI LLMs for selection now. Maybe the goal is to eliminate bias but I suspect the opposite actually happens. The goal used to be compatibility more than capability and if AI now provides the filtering you get hyper compatibility selection. In order to achieve compatibility you need to develop in the dominant language, style, and platform of the employer which may not be stated in the job requirements and occur as near as possible in the center of a bell curve.

What that means practically is that bias is amplified. It used to be that having a blog and large portfolio demonstrated your experience, but that experience may be a weapon used to deselect you.

That imposes a challenge. If you cannot be selected for an interview then everything is irrelevant. Once you are selected for an interview these open proofs of experience are the tie breakers between candidates.

Where I have seen success lately has only occurred in these constraints:

* A given project has technical constraints, like a security clearance, that eliminates selection based upon culture compatibility. When this occurs then be awesome, not average.

In that above scenario I am getting offer letters two thirds of the time I get to the interview. Otherwise my failure rate is about 100% resulting in being dropped from consideration the moment they get your resume. If it felt like a game before job hunting is exclusively a game now.
Ignore that response, theyre just being a jerk.

There are other mammals who live much longer than humans. Evolution optimized for continuation of the species, not longevity of the individual. So there is absolutely optimization room for increasing human lifespan.
When I was studying Mathematics I initially thought TDA was magic. I remember seeing MATLAB correctly compute the Homology groups of a Torus from a randomly sampled point cloud. As I veer farther into the CS/ML world I've come to appreciate that most of the advertised practical applications of higher Mathematics are quite niche. Having said that, Algebraic Topology is still one of my favorite areas of Mathematics from a purely mathematical viewpoint.
> We could encourage Zelensky to abide by 2016 Minsk agreement to allow Donbas to vote on it's own future direction. Democracy good, right? Let them vote, as was
agreed.

Why don't we encourage Russia to abide by the 1994 agreement where they gave assurances to Ukraine they would never invade and never threaten sovereignty?.

I am interested in why everyone is so keen and insistent that Ukraine abide by the 2016 Minsk agreement, but Russia is free to violate any or all agreements they have with Ukraine.

I think what Russias flagrant breaking of the multiple treaties and agreements they have with Ukraine has shown us is that Russia is not interested in abiding by international agreements when it doesn't interest them.

So my question is then, why would Minsk be any different?, the answer its not, Russia will break it the moment it benefits them, they have in fact already broken the Minsk agreements multiple times.

The only thing that will stop Russia is military force, they need to be physically stopped before they will start caring.
I hadn’t been to the USA in quite a few years and assumed that transpeople in America were largely limited to loud voices on social media. Then I went and spent three weeks in the USA last year and repeatedly met transpeople, whether the cashiers at a CVS or fast food, or other cyclists I met on a popular bikepacking route I followed. Regardless of what controversy still exists, I concluded that this had already evolved from a counterculture into the general culture.

I really liked Kotlin in the beginning, but it's error handling story is non-existent. They removed the ONLY decent (not great, very flawed) complier validated method for error handling, checked exceptions, and gave us nothing in return.

It'd be so easy to simply do exactly what Rust does. Kotlin already has the ADT stuff necessary, all we need is some kind of "bubbling" operator, like the ? in Rust. Because right now, it's all just super horrible manual checks everywhere.

This doesn't necessarily indicate malice. Apple has little obligation to test every software change on non standard hardware so it's reasonably possible some innocent change had a breaking effect on a modified device.
What really resonated with me is the following observation from a fellow HNer (I forgot who):

In many cases, we humans have structured our language such that it encapsulates reality very closely. For these cases, when an LLM learns the language it will by construction appear to have a model of the world. Because we humans already spent thousands of years and billions of actually intelligent minds building the language to be the world model.

> The large botnet is a serious operation with many thousands of computers organized to do this attack. Assuming 100k medium-range computers, we are talking about an attacker with total access to 200 THz of CPU and 200 TB of RAM. The upfront cost for this attacker is about $36k.

They appear to define it by compute capacity, so I'd expect the attacker can solve harder puzzles than legitimate users would attempt.
Besides all of the apps for web browsing, spreadsheets, word processing, email, etc., I use Blink shell on my iPad all the time to ssh to remote servers. I do most of my programming and system admin work over ssh.

With a bit of work you can use VS Code on an iPad to work with code on a remote server, a GitHub repo, a containerized repo.

I sometimes take my iPad traveling or to coffee shops to work, leaving my Macbook behind. With the Magic Keyboard it works great for what I do.

Unless there's a mismatch in the schema/messages, function calling is very reliable at providing JSON.
The entire selling point of free markets is that it keeps prices in check due to competition. Every experiment in human history of nationalization of production has failed miserably.

Instead, let’s cut the red tape and remove the barriers in the parts of the economy that are not following the rules of the market. Do that and prices will decrease.
I'm sure why it's a "recipe for disaster"? The old API is very crufty and now that the problem is stable and well understood, the kernel developers would prefer to start with a cleaner API. Not least because adding (eg) NUMA support to the existing API would be piling hacks on hacks. Take a look at the old API and wonder where you would pass the NUMA struct pointer:

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/futex.2.html

Another special feature of futexes is that no one ever used them directly (not least because they are subtle to use correctly). Instead a few libraries used them and implemented standard APIs on top (pthread etc). Libraries like glibc and other libcs, and probably a few languages that have an aversion to using glibc. So the specific use cases of the old API are well known and scoped.
Whereas in the US, this cost was just ignored and handed down as a precious gift to future generations.

Other energy systems have their clean up costs too, but they don't need to consider a 100,000 year time scale, so are much, much cheaper.

When you go shopping for the cheapest sushi, you should expect worms. Same with repair. That's the market solution. Fuck around and find out. If you check the review history beforehand and maybe talk to different shops, you'll get a repair that's most likely still much cheaper than oem and that you are satisfied with.

>Will the screen be as bright and sharp?

When I had mine replaced with aftermarket one, I asked about that and they showed me a phone with a screen of supposedly comparable quality and even offered an option to come in later and check the phone mid-repair for a 15€ fee. (That was a fee to let you back up data off of the phone if you didn't want to go trough with the repair)

>What am I going to get with an off-brand battery?

Many shops will offer warranty so that if the capacity degrades quickly they will replace it for you.
Was about to say that sounds very german yet with a sprinkling of dutch.
it's bit like- if i have source code of Linux (think DNA), can I build a machine running Linux? (think cell). no- you cant, you need to have machine that can run the code.

The sexual element was there in the blues from the beginning, it wasn't something that developed later and became rock. It was there even in pre-1900 century black song, as they were less constrained from the white's puritanism.

In any case, it wasn't the crucial difference between the social function (and the aesthetic development) of blues and rock.
Maybe it’s more accurate to say that LLMs lack (self-)awareness. Because when you point out things that make no sense, they do have some limited ability to produce reasoning about that. But I agree that this lack of awareness is a serious and maybe fundamental deficit.
I wonder if travisporter is still watching, and still assuming good faith.
> It's really a tricky balance. Over-allocating collections "just in case" can quite often be very expensive as well

It is sometimes really tricky. When I worked with streaming XML documents that were gigabytes in size, there is a really fine margin you have to work with.

However some general knowledge can be pretty useful. I saw colleagues just do "= new ArrayList<?>(1000);" without considering the collection type or possible size. And besides being a bit ignorant, it can also be really confusing for other developers that take first look at such code.
I'm not surprised about the video capabilities. We've already had U2 spy plane decades ago, taking detailed photos from near-space altitude.

> The horizontal-vertical illusion is a phenomenon in which the vertical line appears longer when a horizontal line and a vertical line of the same length are drawn. For example, it has been shown that when a building that is in fact 10 meters both along its frontage and in height is viewed, it seems to the viewer that the height is 1.4 times the width, making the building look 14 meters tall.

The first sentence is manifestly false. If you take the example image in the article and rotate it 90 degrees, so that the red line is horizontal and the black line is vertical, then it's still the red line that looks longer (admittedly I find the effect is a bit weaker). What's really going on is that the impact of black line's length is reduced by having something halfway along it, while the red line is unbroken.

Either the image represents a different illusion or (and I guess this is really it) it's not that vertical lines necessarily look longer, it's just that, in practice, they're more likely to be unbroken (like the red line) while horizontal lines are more likely to have other things visually impacting their apparent length.
