Is there an LTO-6 tape drive that is, say, less than a thousand dollars? All tape drives I've seen are between 2-4k USD.
I work in this space and think that it's far more rational to accept the axiom that LLM progress will not be significant than to bank product work on assuming it will increase drastically.

I do think we still have yet to squeeze the most value out of current LLMs, but most people's radical AI dreams are completely out-of-touch with reality for anyone working closely on these problems.

My biggest fear in this space is that disappointment in the inability of these tools to live up to the hype will cause people to irrationally abandon exploring the spaces where they do work.

So, you've never heard of a Developer Certificate of Origin? If it's good enough for Linux, it's good enough for me.
My first account was probably 10 years ago. This was back when r/bodybuilding and WSB were still good.

I had pretty much stopped using Reddit a few months before the news broke just because the overall quality was so low outside of a few niche fintech subs. When the announcement popped up on Apollo I sent the dev a nice tip as a thank you for his work on top of the Apollo premium (?) I had already purchased a few years back, then I uninstalled it and never looked back.

Doesn’t help that trying to use Reddit in mobile safari is such a painful experience. I still haven’t figured out how to do a subreddit search, and at this point I don’t really care to.

If you want to optimize parameters to maximize a function, calculus is a natural process for that. If you want to treat data as having richer structure than just a point cloud in a metric space, topology is a natural process for that. Network characterization (eg community/bottleneck/robustness measurement) is not that niche imo, but I guess data science defaults to meaning calculus because calculus is fast and cheap to compute compared to topological methods.

There are classes of answers that I don’t see how you could find them without resorting to something like TDA. Stuff like characterizing the Betti numbers of neuronal circuits to profile signal routing redundancy. The economics of applying TDA at scale (at least at one that does not require eg nation-state level compute) don’t work well atm I think: small problems will quickly kill the beefiest cpu/ram combo you can find if you try to do basic persistent homology on them, so either you scale your compute like crazy for results that probably won’t give you jackpot margins wrt competitors, or just do whatever is cheap and quick and good enough.

A remark: I think tda is in an era not too unlike deep learning after the proliferation of backprop and little deep nets, but before backprop-on-gpus. People said all kinds of things about how deep learning was a gimmick, was too impractical to apply to real world problems, etc. I remain curious either way.
The statistic folks are citing for the 90% or 10x is based on a study of how much attitude information is conveyed non-verbally during a negotiation.

Engineering should be more about meaning content than attitude content, and engineering workshopping should not be a poker game.

The stat is not about conversation content, but conveying attitude. The study found attitude was conveyed 55% nonverbal, 38% vocal, and 7% words only.

By that study, using the telephone would be 55% info loss about attitude (tone and words convey 45%), and using video chat adds facial expression (majority of non-verbal attitude). Attitude info, not meaning info.

So no, it's not 10x more info in person, even for the narrow case of conveying negotiation attitude blind over telephone, plus most non-verbal attitude is conveyed by facial expression which comes through on video chat.

Yes. It's not a terribly interesting article but I would describe it from an external perspective as,

"People bid based on a sort of mean value: they don't know how much this thing is worth to them, so they make an uncertain guess, that guess has a mean.

"But, that guess also has a standard deviation. And if you have 100 identical people doing a one-time closed bid on the thing, they all have identical mean valuations but the bid that will win will probably be 2-3 standard deviations over the mean. In these situations, the more wrong you are, the more likely you are to win, and the less you will like what you win. This is the winner's curse.

"You can avoid this by being cognizant of your status as one of the pool of 'identical people', how many people are similar to you, and tempering your bids downward in relation to that. A jar full of money has a similar value to everyone who is in the audience -- this creates the dangerous condition! A unique statement piece from an otherwise unremarkable artist, is going to attract some interested parties and some revulsion: so if you dig it, you are probably in the minority and don't need to worry so much about the winner's curse."

Interesting. May be regional I guess. Most of the homes I have been into the bones of in my area that were built in the 1970s were pretty crap.

But then again in my area the 1970s was a big boom time, with a ton of new construction. Mostly 2x4 and 2x6 construction, with cheap sheathing and a bad subfloor.

Anything built here in the 2000s will be 2x10 or 2x12 walls, double insulated sheathing, with triple pane windows and high r value doors, and with a floor you can confidently lay tile on.
Yeah, it's a three-pronged threat, isn't it?

I think this article adequately outlines those threats. You've got the question of content added to the project, the question of the projects' text being used to train LLMs, and you've got sources now that are using LLM content to write news articles and other stuff. And the article also mentions all the great uses of ML already incorporated into bots and the MediaWiki software, and the cloud platform.

I've already witnessed one fairly widespread case of an editor who began adding big swaths of LLM content to articles. They were caught, blocked, and reverted. Now we already deal with similar problems in the copyright field. There are often editors who violate copyright "under the radar" for years, and make many, many edits, and then they are caught, blocked, and a cleanup process is initiated. There's a whole process for that, and it's perpetually understaffed and backlogged. But the catching of violators tends to happen at a fairly good clip.

I think that if we can accurately catch copyright violators, then we should also be able to find LLM-only editors. Even though you can't simply diff with an existing source, there are hallmarks, and eventually, they reveal themselves.

I'm not sure if keeping LLM content off Wikipedia will improve it, per se. A lot of editors are bad writers already, and also write outlandish stuff that's unsourced. So it may be a wash. But we have to try.

> Because you've now anchored the negotiation at 210 as the max, and he's going to try to get you for less because this is business. He's not going to just take your first number any more than you would just accept his first offer.

But if you're currently making 150, then 210 is a huge jump up!

Sure, you could have asked for 250, and I would've recommended that the candidate ask for 250 (because you would've likely gotten 225 or something like that), but asking for 210 and getting it is extremely ideal IMO.

This is better than "I'm not going to tell them my salary or target so that I can wow the shit out of them during the interviews, and then negotiate up once at the offer stage in hopes that they'll instantly approve it since they're over the moon to have me."

It's not that that doesn't work (it does, sometimes); it's just incredibly risky (what if you get a stump-the-chump interviewer that NO HIRES basically everyone they interview?) and very likely to result in "sorry, but that's not in the range for this role, but you can interview for the Staff role..." and then potentially have to do the already-excruciating interview loop _again_.
It is curious how the process of entrenchment and even ennoblement tends to lead to claiming others prosecuting the behaviour that got you into that position is the greatest possible evil.

Arguable examples include piracy, slavery, intellectual property protections and nuclear proliferation. The ascendancy to the moral high ground does not require abandoning any of the benefits of past behaviour.
I’ve found that in many applications, the difference between a frequentist analysis and a Bayesian one is unlikely to make a difference in the decision making (even with UQ). I’m sure there are fields where such statistical rigor is called for (where the quality of the data is so high and accurate that the variation is in the analysis — often the case with machine data).

For everything else there’s so much error. Being to quantify uncertainty is great — it’s a signal we need to collect more and better data. But so often we have to move ahead with uncertain data.

Interestingly, in business, taking action (even if wrong) produces outcomes that are much better signals to learn from than having statistically rigorous analyses, so many times there’s a bias for action rather than obsession over analysis.

But of course in some fields being wrong is costly (like clinical trials) so I can see UQ being more useful and prominent there.
That sounds just outright miserable. Hellish is how I would describe a week long drive, not a few hour flight. There's surely a lot to improve on flights but it seriously isn't that bad compared to driving and having to exert mental and physical effort on it for so long.

Anyone know why this was done in this order? Why not apply for CNCF right from the get-go?
yes, but it's not always malicious. one example is to dual license the code. for example, Qt is available under GPL (LGPL?) and has a CLA that allows them to commercially license your contributions to businesses.

a good CLA in this instance would guarantee you that your code cannot be relicensed exclusively away from GPL. the software is still free as in freedom, but the organization can fund itself by courting businesses that would not touch GPL software.

I said Dunning-Kruger because you seem to be advocating doing Internet Research and following "reputable" pop suggestions of security solutions. This is the equivalent to rolling your own crypto - anyone can create a system that they themselves are satisfied is secure, and that's effectively what you're doing by mashing up random security apps with a proprietary Android distribution.

These "decent sandboxing solutions" are all just front ends to Android Work Profiles. Trusting Work Profiles on a proprietary distribution is similar to just trusting the proprietary distribution as is - especially when most distributions have blobbed "Play Services" with backdoors into the OS. So in my opinion this isn't a particularly good path to go down to achieve trustable security, just as adding a bunch of band-aids to Microsoft Windows won't get you something trustable.

And really, my overarching point is that the current state of secure user-representing Android is nowhere advanced enough in capabilities, auditing, or adoption to say that anyone can "just" do some things to be protected from the surveillance industry.

I think you give doctors too much credit here.

I will say that from direct family and friends experience, a lot of family doctors are not aware of everything that's out there, particularly older doctors who may not be keeping up with new developments, and even more specifically women's health advancements..

Do your own research and find products or drugs that might work for you and then bring that to your doctor for a conversation about whether or not it could work for you.

That's where the marketing comes in for the public. Yes it works for the drug companies too, but if there was some law that meant no one could advertise or talk about these, we would be counting on our doctors to be always aware of all the newest things, and that's just not the reality.

If you sit around waiting for your doctor (who has hundreds, maybe thousands of patients) to bring all the right solutions to you, you're not going to get the best care you can.

So yeah, I agree there's challenges with marketing these products, but it's not a clear cut situation.

I would really recommend SE above SeaBlock, IMO SeaBlock feels like it throws away almost all of the recipies you know & doesn't give you much new to reward you, I felt like it was more like some random fanfic. Where as SE felt like it was a poorly edited directors cut of the original movie. There's way too much & it's audience is really the people that wanted a 4h movie with 6 different subplots. Also lacking the polish of the original, but still very much in the spirit.
Right? I also find this journalism style infuriating. Very egocentric.

A friend was abusing prescription drugs, and 100% of facebook and google ads he got were for exactly those drugs, biased towards time of day when he would relapse.

Also, oxycodone is still legal, and probably kills more than the illegal stuff mentioned in the article.

So, while the “this is obviously illegal behavior” is a nice smoking gun, it’s nothing compared to the legal stuff they do that should be illegal.
It doesn't matter which CA one is using as long as there is a CA that's freely available to anyone. The article makes very questionable suggestions such as this:

It's trivial to implement, is completely free, involves no third parties, and lasts forever. To the surprise of absolutely no one, web browsers don't support it.

I would interpret this as the author arguing against the entire CA system.

The general public knows what a “magazine” is.

Even if we didn’t, it’s a journalist’s job to inform. Using “clip” isn’t just a colloquialism — it refers to a different thing entirely, and is incorrect.

If they genuinely believe the public is not familiar with “magazine”, they can and should explain the terminology.

However, I sincerely doubt these individuals — especially given their Vice/Motherboard background — knew the correct terminology in the first place.
I’ve been watching a youtube psychiatrist who seems to be abreast of the latest research on some of this stuff. He had an interesting insight around learning and journaling. His take seems to be that journaling is something you do to help process big things, mostly emotional. Or to write things down so you can clear your working memory. But there seems to be evidence that you don’t want to write down certain things you want to recall. Or at least, you don’t want to write them down prior to sleep. Seems there’s some research that suggest sleep brain activity will proritise emotional problem solving, then non emotional problem solving, then recall. So to get better recall of facts, writing down things to clear the brain of everything but what you want to remember is a good strategy.

Making human lives better means that you have to do dirty, destructive work like mining, drilling, and manufacturing. To some degree, we're trading pristineness of nature for increased living standards for people. As technology improves, there is potential for our footprint to get smaller, but that's almost always balanced out (or more) by an increase in population.

It's easy to make the whole country a nature preserve. You then either import things that were produced in a dirty manner overseas, or your living standards drop to that of our Aboriginal ancestors.
