Here you need to start considering the goal of the text and different tools work for different kinds of work. With Diataxis[1] in mind:

In a non-fiction reference style document, neither repetition nor wordy descriptions have a place. Repetition in such a document always risks inconsistency, redundancy and breeds confusion for the reader. That's very much not good.

In a guide or educational material, repetition gains a function. If the document is supposed to teach, repetition from different point of view increases retention and anchors the new knowledge better, by placing it in more contexts. In a guide, repetition can act as beneficial redundancy - re-checks of work for example.

In a fictional work, it's a style of writing. Some modern authors for example vary the wordiness or terseness to signify the overall sense of alarm and pressure on the character. Like, if nothing is going on, they spend words on just showing how everything is good for the character at the moment - smells of the coffee, the sun with a light breeze, how you either smell the flower shop to the left or the spice shop to the right, how there's a dog running after a bee. It's a lot of words with very little progress, but that's how a peaceful sunday morning in a cafe is.

And once the dramatic action starts, they switch to a much terser style. Suddenly, only a few things matter. The weight of a weapon on arms, the recoil in a shoulder, cover, screams, the path to regroup.

This ends up being a matter of writing style and reading taste. For example, it was too much for me in some parts of Tolkiens works.

They seem to have built a decent community, so I can see it continuing, provided the core/all code for Fig is open source. In the last 6 weeks, 57 new contributors took the time to create 62 issues and 111 new contributors took the time to comment. These are very heathy community metrics, but there hasn't been a lot of code activity, which would make sense if they were focused on the sale to AWS.

Full Disclosure: This is my tool
My hazy recollection was that this didn’t seem all too crazy back then since chemistry and scientific standards were either non-existent or in their infancy
Very fair, we have demo videos, guides etc planned for the next week or so. As it's a tool that can do many things it's hard to describe. Still a lot to do :)

In terms of what makes the report different from Bing: this could be any source of data: scraped from the web, search, API upload, file upload etc, so there's a lot more power there. Also, it's not just one off reports, there's automation there which would allow for example a weekly report on the latest papers on GPT4 (or whatever you're interested in).
If I recall correctly, you can set your firebase rules such that a user can only read/write/delete certain collections based on conditions such as if
user.email == collection.email.
Pretty unlikely. Generally you don't use fine-tuning for bare documents. You use retrieval augmented generation, which usually involves vector similarity search.

Fine-tuning isn't great at learning knowledge. It's good at adopting tone or format. For example, a chirpy helper bot, or a bot that outputs specifically formatted JSON.

I also doubt they're going to have a great system for fine-tuning. Successful fine-tuning requires some thought into what the data looks like (bare docs won't work), at which point you have technical people working on the project anyway.

Their future connection system will probably be in the format of API prompts to request data from an enterprise system using their existing function fine-tuning feature. They tried this already with plugins, and they didn't work very well. Maybe they'll come up with a better system. Generally this works better if you write your own simple API for it to interface with which does a lot of the heavy lifting to interface with the actual enterprise systems, so the AI doesn't output garbled API requests so much.
It didn’t pop the cloud bubble that you have to do constant maintenance. In the end, a new class of experts arises to handle these challenges, paid for by the layoffs of these made redundant by AI

Democratizing AI: The Hugging Face Ethos of Accessible Machine Learning
In August 2023, Hugging Face secured $235 million in a Series D round, boasting a valuation of $4.5 billion. It surged ahead, not just of Cohere but surpassing Inflection, with its ~$4.0 billion valuation.

According to our own Twitter sentiment analysis, Hugging Face is a widely admired player in both ML and AI. Everybody seems to love them.

How did they achieve it?

What makes this light-looking company such a heavyweight?

Who are the people behind it, and what is their vision? What did they build?

Are they responsible for the AI they work on? Are they reliable?

How do they plan to make money? etc

We'll answer these questions and more in our exploration of Hugging Face. Tune in https://www.turingpost.com/p/huggingfacechronicle

Oh nice, thank you (and also solumos) for the links! It looks like oteps/pull/171 (merged June 2023) expanded and superseded the opentelemetry-proto/pull/346 PR (closed Jul 2022) [0]. The former resulted in merging OpenTelemetry Enhancement Proposal 156 [1], with some interesting results especially for 'Phase 2' where they implemented columnar storage end-to-end (see the Validation section [2]):

* For univariate time series, OTel Arrow is 2 to 2.5 better in terms of bandwidth reduction ... and the end-to-end speed is 3.1 to 11.2 times faster

* For multivariate time series, OTel Arrow is 3 to 7 times better in terms of bandwidth reduction ... Phase 2 has [not yet] been .. estimated but similar results are expected.

* For logs, OTel Arrow is 1.6 to 2 times better in terms of bandwidth reduction ... and the end-to-end speed is 2.3 to 4.86 times faster

* For traces, OTel Arrow is 1.7 to 2.8 times better in terms of bandwidth reduction ... and the end-to-end speed is 3.37 to 6.16 times faster

Pretty exciting results! The OTEL-Arrow adapter has subsequently been donated to the otel community; here's a comment that does a good job of summarizing the results and the recommendations that came out of the test [3].

RE RrR - but you have the right to call in any certified technician to fix your stove. This fulfills what RtR is about - not that everyone does their own repairs themselves, but that they can either do or outsource it to someone in their local community, without being beholden to some outside commercial interests. This enables local repair businesses to thrive and develop expertise. Etc.

As for electronics, if batteries are becoming such a problem that we end up comparing things to gas stoves, I'd vote for regulations mandating standardized, interchangeable, interoperable battery packs. That is, isolate the directly dangerous bit - batteries and charging circuits - and make those work like propane tanks or gas stoves, while everything else in the device should be end-user tinkerable.
To be honest I do think it's time we move on from emulating teletypes, but I also believe that whatever comes next has to be an open standard, with competing implementations.

There's a whole graveyard out there of "next-gen" terminal projects, and none of those still alive seems to be gaining dominance. I don't think writing down a spec would help this, but it would be great if whatever emerged victorious had one.

Did I miss something? 2018-2021 were losses due to massive lawsuits from burning down large portions of the state, but 2022 was their highest net in the last decade. Besides, PG&E has some of the highest rates in the country. If they aren't profitable, lack of revenue probably isn't the issue.
We just left ours running for months in a Docker container. The volume is external, we just replace container image with new one, it takes 5 seconds to update, and spans are treated ephemeral. We store only 7d of data. We could use S3 but we have no use for that data in the long run.

To be fair, we wanted to get experience on ClickHouse and it's a special database need special attention to details on both ops and schema design.
Move her to a better location now. I don't know where she lives, but that is a factor. Get her someplace where she can depend on public transit for everything and not miss the car. Many downtowns have great transit, but there is no convient grocery store, or if there is it is the high priced luxury store. Many transit systems don't run on Sunday, so she won't be able to get to chruch. (What other activities doea she do that are not 9-5 that transit does well?)

If you have to move her far, look for blind support in the area. People and friends in her new location are important to making it feel like home. Make sure you can visit, and also other family.

Other have addressed reading better than I could so i'm giving a different food for thought.
In the 16-Aug-2022 game, Niemann played at his normal strength, but Carlsen played weakly. He was really mad at Niemann for his online cheating and it affected his game. During the pandemic Nieman got a massive amount of online practice and became a stronger player but his otb rating did not change, so now he appears to be playing above his official skill level.

It "could" happen. On the other hand, it could also not happen. This is pure speculation on your part. Whatever happened to looking at evidence? This isn't the first time China has had economic trouble.

Zip codes don't need to identify buildings, they need to identify post offices (and with +4, mail carrier routes).

How do you get the underpaid junior programming job, though? My experience trying to get hired without a degree is that recruiters aren't interested in amateurs without formal CS degrees or professional experience and companies ignore anyone who isn't a recent college grad. I've never even gotten the chance to do a leetcode test, much less an interview where I can convince people that I'm capable and willing to work for peanuts if I don't have to do braindead manual labor.
Weird, I use 3M earplugs when I'm in our data center and I think they are great. That's certainly not the level of noise as combat though. But they are much better than the squishy orange foam ones that the data center provides.
Is it that simple? Ears come in all sizes and shapes, its possible you could make an earplug that worked great for you but not for some other people.

Peeping at news articles though, there may have been an internal memo where they admitted to knowing there was a mistake - but they continued to sell them. Very likely THAT is where the huge fine came. see https://www.greenmatters.com/business/3m-ear-plug-lawsuit
Not sure about the Mac Classic, but I've found that 75hz or higher refresh rates reduces eye strain on CRTs. I was able to achieve that with the Powermac 7200 all-in-one recently (though albeit at a lower resolution)

Two problems with OpenTelemetry:

1. It doesn't know what the hell it is. Is it a semantic standard? Is a protocol? It is a facade? It is a library? What layer of abstraction does it provide? Answer: All of the above! All the things! All the layers!

2. No one from OpenTelemetry has actually tried instrumenting a library. And if they have, they haven't the first suggestion on how instrumenters should actually use metrics, traces, and logs. Do you write to all three? To one? I asked this question two years ago, zero answers :( [1]

I've used slack on ubuntu for years, it occasionally eats CPU, but I've never seen it crash.
True.. so far.

All that's needed is an intersection of high-humidity heat wave + densely populated area + extended power outage.

And/or too few buildings that have A/C or other places to escape the heat like swimming pools, metro tunnels or whatever.

Probably more likely to occur in less-developed areas like India or Africa. But regardless, could happen in many places. Just a few degrees might be the difference between 1000s or 100k+ deaths.
I'm going to see if the word "Enterprise" convinces my organization to allow us to use ChatGPT with our actual codebase, which is currently against our rules.
I don't believe Avi found
aliens, and I don't even think finding aliens in our neighborhood is likely or will ever happen.

With that being said, it takes balls to come up with such claims, and you need people arguing passionately against the mainstream opinion in any subject to properly judge what is the truth.

A cautious position that is afraid to lay out the entire arguments and claims just won't do. And I don't even believe what he says - but I do believe that it is important for devil's advocates to fully embrace their position instead of chickening and trying to be cautious with evidence. (up to the point where the evidence really does contradict their position).

And I fully believe him when he says he's bullied, and the other subtext I see in her question is that she envies him of his courage. Of having the balls to stand up for the subject that despite 40 years, she still has self doubts about.

He doesn't seem nice or polite. But honestly, I can totally get why he's pissed off. She did not have the balls or courage to fight for her position with all that it takes, and instead of being glad someone else has the courage she was lacking, she attacks him.

And even tho I don't believe him, I think having people with courage to stand up and argue against the consensus is incredibly important. Just like you need lawyers on both sides in litigation, it's not enough to just collect evidence. She did not advocate for her position for 40 years. She did collect evidence but that's not enough.

Perhaps they shouldn't. If we lived in a world where lawyers were more cautions about what they attached there name to out of concern for losing their license we would probably be better off. Less bullying by corporations with lots of money etc. No problems with demand letters for legitimate issues that are well supported by evidence though.
One interesting thing about the statute of limitations is “the discovery rule.”

For example, say the statute of limitations for 18 USC 1030 is two years. If a person hypothetically stole a scooter by hacking, two years later, they would be in the clear, right?

No. The discovery rule says that if a damaged party, for good reason, does not immediately discover their loss, the statutes of limitations is paused until they do.

Accordingly, if the scooter company read a post today about a hack that happened “a long time ago” and therein discovered their loss, the statute of limitations would begin to tick today and the hacker could be in legal jeopardy for two more years.

>I would much rather get punched in the face than serve 20 years in prison, but it is illegal to threaten the former, but perfectly fine to threaten the latter.

How about you don't do the action that makes you punishable with 20 years in prison?

On a more practical level, if someone is breaking into your house, should it be illegal to tell them to stop, on pain of you calling the police which presumably would cause them to be incarcerated?
I used to teach orienteering and scout skills when I was a teenager. One of the first things we did was measure how long each kid's natural pace was so they could know how to pace out a distance. If the course said 600ft and the kid knows their pace was 3 feet then they would take 200 paces or 400 steps. Typically, unless you were a runt like me it almost always came out to 5 feet. Just kind of the way people work. 2.5 feet a step. Roughly 5 feet or 1.5 meters per pace.

It always got complicated with obstacles though. Especially since most of them didn't know how to do trigonometry yet. We usually just had them estimate which they got pretty good at after a few hours of counting paces.

Because of the job. I took this job thinking the news probably overblow the issues in SF for political reasons, just like how they overblew the issues in Texas from what I experienced there. Turn out there is more truth to it than I expected.

I will move out of CA eventually when an opportunity arrives. Doesn't have to be Houston either. I have been to different places and countries and I am fine with exploring new cultures and new places. Most of the time I found I can tolerate quite a bit unless things go to the extreme. I guess CA is too far on the extreme left for my taste.
The person sending the letter also doesn't have a prison nor the power to put anyone in it. It is a persuasive legal letter stating someone's opinion about what someone else could potentially do.

Near or totally blind persons can still get excellent coaching, but the most effective method involves physical contact. Some coaches aren’t willing to do that though.

That’s true for sighted persons too. There is a pretty easy coaching technique to stop “butt winking” by providing pressure feedback, but that means the coach is has to have permission and be willing to push on the trainee barely above the buttocks. Needless to say most coaches in the USA don’t want to risk it.
This is the correct answer. They almost entirely compile to the same machine code for the computationally intensive parts. (Even Julia does that these days.) But the limitations of Fortran prevent a lot of difficult-to-debug C bugs, while not affecting typical scientific and numerical capability.

The Crexi market overview for San Jose appears to extend far beyond San Jose and well into the Peninsula:

Mountain View and Palo Alto are both seeing a lot of demand for office space from Google and Facebook, respectively, and I suspect that's driving up the average. San Jose itself isn't seeing so much of that.
A few years ago I found that HelloTalk (a language learning pen-pal app) stored the actual GPS coordinates of users in a SQLite that you can find in your iOS backup. The maps in-app showed only a general location (pin disappeared at a certain zoom).

You could also bypass the filter preventing searching for over 18 if you are under/under if you are over, and paid-only filters like location, gender, etc. by rewriting the requests with a mitmproxy (paid status is not checked server-side).

I'm arguing that school's difficult level is set up for children to manage on their own just fine. Also, managing on their own means learning grit, figuring out what to do when you're stuck, learning how to find information etc. If a parent is hand-holding their child through their school experience, they may be taking away a chance to develop these skills in their kid.
