Thank you for your interest in our work. The schema linking approach employed in our agent significantly differs from the one described in my paper. In the paper, we utilized a method that involved breaking down questions and matching entities with the table schema. However, when dealing with large datasets, the approach outlined in the DIN-SQL paper is no longer feasible, as we cannot feasibly provide all table names and columns within the prompt. As a result, we opted for an alternative method, leveraging table embeddings along with the NL question embedding to facilitate the schema linking process.

Regarding the context store you mentioned, it plays a vital role in our system. We use the context store to retrieve previously verified questions from earlier interactions. This functionality assists the agent in locating the correct tables and columns based on the knowledge gained from past interactions with our system.
That paper is quite difficult to interpret for a non-expert, and isn't focused on just sea ice extent. I'm not sure what they mean by "extent", is it a maximum or an average? Here's a link with some graphs that are easier to understand: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/....

The annual maximum follows the trend you describe, while the annual minimum has been more static and decreased substantially in the last few years.

It is very likely that some kind of life that doesn't require cells must be possible, because it must have existed before the appearance of cells.

Cells are much too complex to appear spontaneously, without evolving from an acellular form of life. Cell membranes can form spontaneously from fatty substances, but no cell can live without complex molecular pumps that are embedded in the cell membrane and which bring in some substances from outside and which expel some other substances from inside. Such pumps must be the result of a long evolution that preceded the first cells.

Nevertheless, any form of life that is not made of cells cannot live free in a fluid like water, but it must be attached to the surface of some suitable rocks, where a flow of nutrients must exist.

The most plausible hypotheses about the appearance of life on Earth suppose that before the appearance of cells, life was restricted to pores inside rocks from hydrothermal vents, where a flow of dihydrogen and of alkaline ions could provide the energy, and metallic sulfide minerals could provide the catalysts for organic syntheses.

While there are lots of cloud providers also trying to be edge providers, I would argue that "The Far Edge" is a great opportunity to improve and develop infrastructure that is easier to run on your own hardware.

What worked for cloud won't work for edge in most cases. Having to do processing locally means processing on your own hardware.

We've seen this as the reason a lot of companies are adopting tools like NATS.io to be more cloud agnostic and/or be able to practically run at the Edge.
Windows supports multiple accounts, hence an account password doesn’t apply to Bitlocker, which encrypts the main Windows partition as a whole. You need a separate Bitlocker password that the boot loader requests from the user before Windows proper is loaded, and before any accounts come into play.

You can replace this with "container" and "docker", and it turned out exactly or similar to how you predict. However, there is nothing with a big moat that Huggingface is offering. If they overeshittify, competitors will rise up.
You are right, but this was also solved by "dedicated server" folks years before cloud was a thing.
Imagine what it would be like by now if all software had kept up the early ratio of what could be accomplished per kilobyte of memory and per megahertz of processor performance. Especially per kilobyte of code itself.

Now it takes GB and GHz to accomplish the same office work as 30 years ago, and the UI responsiveness is slower by comparison. This should have only improved as more advanced hardware was deployed, so the root cause has got to be a defective software approach(s) over the long run.

Not the promising brave new world that seemed like it would make interactions with PC's orders of magnitude better by the time the 21st century came along.

This just reinforces my point. The germs that killed the native Americans grew up in an environment where humans were living in close proximity to a variety of animals (cows, chickens, rats) for thousands of years. (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns,_Germs,_and_Steel)
I recall hearing this explicitly stated by a member of the current rover team. They said that we need to begin imagining completely different forms of life from our own - like completely outside the box thinking.
Wife and I had our first at a hospital with a trained Nurse-Practitioner Midwife group.

We only had to see the OB on call once, and otherwise got to let baby’s and mom’s timetable and needs lead the way, with minimal medical intervention.
She was induced because there was a small chance of a kidney issue with baby (a common result on ultrasounds) and we were a few days past due date.

Ultimately, labor lasted 30+ hours and she needed to get an epidural so she could get some sleep through the night to make sure she had enough strength - but she had a vaginal birth and got to do skin-to-skin, and baby only had to leave her side for a hearing check on the following day.

I guess I share all of that to say that a balance can be found. This place was very respectful of our wishes and the NPMW group was incredibly well trained - and we had the peace of mind knowing if anything went south, we were seconds from pediatric surgery, etc…

But to everyone saying “JUST TRUST THE DOCTORS BRO” - use some critical thinking. The medical profession can be dogmatic, arrogant, and hasty. It took a nurse to point out that MDs coming straight from necropsy should wash their hands before delivering a baby to avoid killing mother and child from infection. Doctors are not infallible machines of perfect medical skill, and we know that every medical intervention comes with risk; but humans have been giving birth for eons. Obviously medicine has improved that process in many ways, but medicine is best applied only when needed, so always ask questions and think for yourself.
An AI can create as many illegal images as it wants within itself, as that would be akin to imagination.

A person interacting with an AI is now a transaction and no longer imagination.

The key point here is that a lot of legal issues pop up when you trade goods that do not exist when you do things alone and privately.

Although the experience with an AI model might be private, my opinion is that long term the things it generates will be seen more as traded commodities than personal items you built with your tools

What do people think separated GitHub from docker?

Docker also had DockerHub, but it wasn’t as necessary as GitHub and didn’t catch on as well.

I think HF is more like docker than GitHub. GitHub had the wide scope to be huge. Docker was too niche (in comparison) and didn’t catch on so much to be necessary for every single project like Git did.

Similarly, HF is also niche in the sense that docker is. There’s no need to host your model on HF, it’s just a convenience for some projects. It’s effectively a package manager for ML models.

It seems that if there’s a way to make models more easily runnable, HF would not be necessary at all. They have a community there, but it’s not something that can be monetized well.
Discipline gets a lot of attention around here.

My suggestion is to find something that piques your interest for a long enough time. Thought around the "Flow" concept [1] suggests to pick something that is just within reach of your capabilities.

And perhaps try meditation to exercise building up discipline.

It also helps to ask yourself several times per day: "What would be the smartest thing to do now?", until it becomes a habit. You will then accidentally think that phrase, which gives some freedom to override other (possibly) bad habits.

I think that's reversing the cause and effect a bit? I'm not saying immigrants go to cities for Democratic policies, but that cities tend to lean Democrat partially because they are full of diverse immigrants from different places and backgrounds. The Republicans over the last few decades took a measured approach to both focus on rural voters and also project a USA-first image that can at times be seen as anti-immigration. The Democrats took advantage of that to solidify their grasp on urban areas.

Regarding your carpal tunnel comment. I started having carpal problems very young (in university). Then I looked into and went all in with an ergonomic keyboard, ergonomic mouse and ergonomic chair.

I've had younger coworkers complain and I always recommend getting a good setup because it pays off in health easily.

I agree that WWIII is a concern but I don't think it will be brought about by boredom.

"Global prosperity" might be true in a very long-term historical sense, but it's misleading to apply it to the immediate situation.

Taiwan is not just a talking point. Control over Taiwan is critical for maintaining hegemony. When that is no longer assured, there will likely be a bloody battle before China is given the free reign that it desires.

WWIII is likely to fully break out within the next 3-30 years. We don't really have the facilities to imagine what 300 years from now will look like, but it will likely be posthuman.
You are right. There are several reasons for why you want to fuse (different) sensors:
- reduce uncertainty
- estimate biases and systematic errors.
As you said, different sensors are affected by environmental conditions differently, so it's only reasonable to use all the information instead of only rely on one measurement method
It’s not a requirement as such, it’s just that many of the major players have chosen to implement the constituent services via Kubernetes.
It’s not citizenship (otherwise asylees, refugees, and even permanent resident aliens would be excluded.)

A “foreign person” is defined in ITAR (22 CFR Sec. 120.63), by reference to two sections of immigration law in Title 8 of the US Code, as someone who is none of the following: a US citizen, a lawful permanent resident, an asylee or refugee, a person lawfully admitted for permanent residency (I haven’t done the analysis to see if this is distinct from “lawful permanent resident” or if its overlap with different language between the categories referenced from different parts of Title 8 of the US Code), a person lawfully admitted for certain classes of temporary residency.
I'm on board with your point here
I strongly disagree. There is a huge difference between "photos can theoretically be faked, we need to consult an expert" and "everyone I know is using meme generators to post pictures of themselves in historical events, nothing is believable" in terms of societal trust.
This is a good philosophy but not universally applicable. For example, it's a lot of work to test small incremental changes to a circuit design, because (unless the change is just substituting a drop-in replacement component), each small change requires me to fab and populate a new board, adding weeks of work and lead time. As much as it would be nice to test every change in isolation, I instead need to identify all possible improvements from testing prototype A, and compile as many as possible into the next revision for prototype B, in one big change. I would only work in smaller steps when there are identifiable critical uncertainties that can't be addressed in other ways, or when the changes are small enough to not affect the layout. But even then, I might have to make several variants in parallel just because of the efficiencies from not doing it sequentially.

Effort is the core of SOME problems - like you describe - and not the core of others. There is an audience for personality porn. It's probably a medium audience for "real photos and videos" smuggled or hacked out. It's probably a small audience for fan fic style. I doubt it will keep many artists fed, with generative AI or not. There is a tiny market for revenge porn - and it's already highly illegal. Does it change things that anyone can now create revenge porn out of the blue? Yes, a little - you still need someone to want to use revenge porn. Does it shake the foundation of our civilization? No.

This is a problem that was raised at the beginning of anonymous remailers. Some people were very upset to be receiving death threats "enabled by that remailer" and seemed totally unconcerned that someone close to them was mad enough to send death threats. Talk about misplaced concern.

There is a big market for high-bandwidth porn: videos and streams. And for now it seems to crave volume and freshness. Even then, for now that market seems to crave humanness, real actual performers - all the better if you can message them. So even there, not much threat - for now.

Agreed, but then you'd expect a behemoth like MS to respond that they're aware, working on finding cause for the issue and releasing a fix. What they did here is throw out a 'maybe it'll fix itself'.

Can you explain this? The link you provided does not state this conclusion.
Late in the "enshittification cycle", competitors do rise, but they're usually under-resourced. So you get a overly-monetized primary product and a bunch of "never quite there" competitors. That's overall worse than at the primary product's "free beer" phase.
> We aren't falling into a black hole.

I'm going to nitpick here a bit but… we actually don't know. For all we know we could already be inside a gigantic black hole (one that encompasses our entire observable universe). Or our (Earth's) worldline might cross some black hole's event horizon at some point in the far future.

The thing is, the event horizon is not a place in space but a three-dimensional hypersurface that also extends across time. In order to recognize an event horizon you would need to now the entire future evolution of spacetime[0].
