You could use it as a unit of accounting for investing losses. A gigaflop would be a loss of 1 billion, etc.
Exactly. I don't see the situation improving until either the owner or, preferably, the manufacturer of a device that participates in a DoS attack is held partially accountable for said attack.
My partner got a grant to find this out.[1]

It turns out that by building networks of producers who share their experiments as they try to find best practices for their specific place, time, and crops for regenrative ag actually helps them improve it for their context and make a little money.

The problem with ag scientists is that they stay in universities, grow a few test crops in their own fields, then try to replicate that at scale a hundred miles away. Then they throw their hands up when the producers tell them they're full of it.

On the other hand when you build real social networks of producers they can find more common ground and share stories about practices that work.

It helps too because it's actually _their_ next door neighbors who don't use sustainable or regenerative practices who are coming over and telling them they're doing it wrong. IOW the isolation that comes with the decentralized ag that you're talking about is also a social isolation that makes it really hard to even experiment.

Yes I agree with that, I think the over-reliance of tracking and ads has put us in a bad place, and has reduced the incentive and space to innovate.

If all the time and money spent on figuring out tracking and ads had been put into micro-payments or distributed infrastructure, we'd be better off.

But people want stuff "for free" and big companies don't want to give up control, so here we are.

I don't like the quoted wording. I would like it to be clearer that the RF part isn't part of the transducer, but part of the network interface.
I use a hybrid approach. My main database and app is still centralized. It doesn't need hyper optimized performance. But it does push certain data to Cloudflare KV that I serve up with Cloudflare Workers. That is data which is read only and needs to be optimized for fast global loads.

Really depends what you're building.

Hi @seanwilson, standards work is nothing BUT compromises it seems.

The reason for the public beta is to find concerns like these.

One of the aspects of APCA that is unique are the many use-case levels that improve design flexibility by focusing contrast values where they are actually needed.

The draft use cases for text are:
https://readtech.org/ARC/tests/visual-readability-contrast/?...
> MIPS was perhaps the integer equivalent to FLOP, still used in modern microcontrollers because the 8051 at 12MHZ would only execute 1MIPS (12 clocks per instruction)

Actually the origin of this term was VAX MIPS (VAX 780 specifically) because that was a ubiquitous, pretty fast for its time minicomputer. There were faster machines, and slower mainframes still being built, but that was what the late 70s were like.

When the 8051 was released in 1980 it surely didn’t run at 12 MHz! Back then the Z80 sold because it could run 8080 code at a blistering 2 MHz.

BTW the benchmark for FLOPS in those days was Whetstone, hence the otherwise weird name “Dhrystone”
> A mechanism requiring disclosure of how long security updates are available seems like a great step.

So, as I work in this space, there needs to be realistic guidelines on this, does a security flaw need to have a CVE ? Do they need to fix every CVE ? What is the timeframe requirement ?

This kind of thing keeps me up at night.
Which basically means that unless a new word is invented to differentiate between the two types of vegetarian options, then this will lead to more confusion (is this dish on the menu a meat simulation, or a traditional vegetable dish that has its own characteristic and does not try to emulate meat?)
>In order to have a "certified" device you need to remove user control.

No, you don't.

>For example users by default aren't even allowed to access app's "private" data.

Which is already what Android's security model specifies. It means that other apps or other people using your phone won't be able to steal data like your 2FA app's private key.

>Those apps want to make sure that the user isn't in control of their devices, they want to make sure Google or a "trusted party" is.

Their app may benefit, or even rely on the android security model. Unverified devices have the possibility of having that security model broken.

>If Google really wanted to prove security with SafetyNet they would stop attesting devices that haven't been updated

I agree, but there is a trade off where you will cut out old devices. This is why at first Google lets app developers choose if they want to avoid devices that can just be spoofed.

> The risk of spending $20MM on training a large model that doesn't produce the desired outcome is going to blow back far worse than engineering failing to deliver features on time. How are teams/orgs approaching model training risk management, as in managing the risk that a model fails to deliver after spending 20 Million on training?

This. Most startups claiming to be AI companies (90%) won't dare to bother train or fine tune AI models due to the massive costs involved in doing so and will just take an off the self model from HuggingFace anyway.

But what the AI bros won't tell you is that there is the incredible amount of risk when it all goes wrong after training as you pointed out. That is $20M down the drain if the results are sub-optimal and it is even worse when the 'researchers' cannot explain the reasoning behind the 'AI' underperforming other than it is just 'hallucinating' or just flat out buggy.

This training route is only available to those who can afford to foot the cost, but it is still a giant waste of electricity and effort in the end thanks to the decade-log inefficiencies and no better alternatives to these operations (training, fine-tuning, inference, etc) in deep learning.
Unfortunately that is how the industry works though. There are small niches for providing high quality meat and dairy, but the market is tiny in comparison and can't come close to competing on price.

Regulation is also a big blocker. It's not even legal to sell raw milk for human consumption in the US, and for red meat it all must be processed by a facility regulated by either the state or federal government (depending on if the cuts of meat will cross state lines). If you've ever seen how USDA processing facilities operate, its far from what anyone would consider humane and if you would rather not eat meat that was sprayed with bleach you have to look somewhere else entirely.

I just re-read your comment and realised I didn't answer it first time around.

The best way to handle this is in the render function you pass to Puck, which can continue to support the old prop (`description`) and map into the new prop (`subtitle`), even if it's not provided by the author.

We don't have a system for migrating props in the actual data yet, but it's something we could look into.

Thank so much for posting this here first of all! I agree with other comments that rather than, or in addition to, some direct required period for security updates I'd really like to see a dynamic setup along the lines of "Power Means Responsibility": manufacturers can stop supporting devices when they wish, but must at that time release all keys and IP licensing needed for hardware owners to take over. If a company wants to keep supporting something, and in turn keep their power over deciding how it works, for 10 years that's fine. If they want to drop it after 6 months and make the firmware fully source available and allow owners to add their own root keys to devices that'd be fine too. Or someone could offer something fully open source with no strings attached but also no responsibility attached. The market can fill with a range of decent options.

But manufacturers shouldn't be allowed to have it both ways, with control post-sale over their customers' hardware AND no responsibility to support it. It should be directly linked by law.
Thanks for it, I am a long time user of https://publish.obsidian.md/kanban/, and was searching for a dedicated alternative since I was using Obsidian just for it, and it looks great.
Voluntary certification, please. Law is slower than technology. This is a good thing! EnergyStar is a great example of a voluntary program doing more good than DoE or FTC mandates. HIPAA is a good example of what happens when mandates can’t keep up with technology. When it comes to security, we can’t afford another HIPAA.

Yes, all of this stuff will end up in LLM - either in core or as a plugin for it.

LLM works as a library already, but there's definitely room for improvement there:

Not sure what the issue would be here. I don't think it would be accurate to transliterate ปู as "buu" but instead "bpuu". Same with /d/t/th, as these can be written just fine like ใด - dai and ไต - dtai for instance. It can't capture everything, but it's impossible to anyhow because English doesn't have consonant classes like Thai does.
While that is fine, it seems like we should also continue to decarbonize right?

I'm personally all for geoengineering solutions, but even that is just a bandaid. We do need to address the core problem here. We are having record high heat almost every day it seems like. Eventually it will get so hot the problems will become extreme, possibly beyond our ability to continue to mass produce food.

There's an entire superstructure of people that exist in jobs that might not be necessary or valuable (the jobs, not the people.) The reports, the meetings, the evaluations, etc, are all constructed to fulfill the wants and needs of those jobs, and the jobs above them and so on. Does it meaningfully inform the work that is being done, or the product that's being made?

I think what this tends to reveal is just how much of a house of cards the modern business world is.
Where does the mail truck park for deliveries. Other delivery persons can just do that. If the building has no lanes at all, then that's nobody's fault but the building owner. You can wait behind the delivery vehicle a couple minutes.
React and RN let users define views with JSX that are natively implemented. Not sure if that counts as a DSL, but it's JS extended to allow embedded HTML with custom tags, so it's not really a new thing to learn. Part of what made React popular was how vanilla it felt compared to other things that defined whole new languages or heavy-handed frameworks. And now that it exists, it doesn't need to be reinvented.

At work, we had two painful DSLs for monitoring queries. Our team changed monitoring systems entirely just to use SQL instead.
Many of these devices are made in China, even if designed and sold by American companies. Nearly all contain Chinese made parts. These are network devices with sensors and various behaviors.

> in that it can work with ideas and change it's behavior.

Dogs also work on ideas and change their behaviour, and their behaviour is much down to their training. But unlike ai they posses intelligence and can indeed, occasionally, go rogue. But AI is an object, it doesn't think, it doesn't create stuff, it is just a piece of software that does what it's told - well with plenty of errors, since it's not deterministic - therefore it's up to whoever controls it to determine how it behaves. Shifting the blame away with all sorts of looney stories meant to impress non technical people is amusing to a point, but after that point is dangerous.
This is great news, thanks!
At least gear wise, a large format is even more affordable than Hasselblad/Mamiya 7 kit, especially if you are willing to 3D print one.
Soon all this can be replaced with a single platform spawning an AI which will pretend to have a human meeting with other iterations of itself, ultimately provide the most probable reaction given the input data and finish with meeting notes sent to all.

While other humans attend this will still be very compute-intensive, but as soon as all the attendees are AI's it will only take a split-second to generate meeting-notes straight from the Agenda! ;)
There’s some great recommendations in this thread but I just want to thank you for engaging with this community to solicit opinions from the trenches.

This is really meaningful to most of us who see the regulations in our lives as something far away that we can’t influence.

Another reminder for everyone that while you likely can’t influence something like a presidential election on your own, you can influence many other spheres with your knowledge and time that are closer to home and probably affect you more immediately.
Maybe that figure would change if the firmware could indeed be updated.

When they started including maps with GPS tracking in delivery apps I was so happy because I could actually run down and meet them. I totally understand that some people are just lazy and disrespectful but to me it's a given that you at least go down to your gate. Not only because there is no way for the delivery people to get in, but also because it saves time and I'm not disabled.

Where I deliver with Uber Eats, the vast majority of deliveries are simple things where I basically drop it off curbside. Only occasionally must I climb five flights of stairs. Am I compensated extra for your stairs? No. Do I thumbs down those deliveries? Only if the apartments are poorly marked and I end up having to climb three separate flights of stairs looking for your apartment.

I just want to reaffirm the importance of this point. I've used an open source solution named Home Assistant[0] to manage my own network of IoT devices that I don't expose to the internet. I want to stay local because of the risks involved with the internet and with trusting companies to protect such private data.

As such, I look to purchase relativity open devices. But, companies want to keep trying to inject themselves as a middleman, sometimes after the fact. In that case I'm let with a device that becomes e-waste. I don't know what other actions are being taken in regards to subscriptions, but it's a problem here.

Thx for the response!

(To your very last sentence, I'd venture that kind of fees like the Socratic method :-)

But to the rest of the post, can you elaborate? Are you suggesting relaxing the skepticism / logic muscle and reaction for a while, and reading to see where it goes? I'd be willing to discuss that approach, though I'm also aware that's exactly what my cousin pishing deepak chopra keeps saying :-P.

In the finite time we have on this earth, how does one choose where and when to relax the filters, as opposed to saying "this is not bringing value, there are better materials to ingest?".

And the other context, which I feel we still haven't addressed is - lateral to whether there is any advanced and isolated value in reading Plato, do we really feel it's a good suggestion to get somebody introduced to concepts? I still feel there are way better ways to get somebody introduced to core ideas, and then advanced readers who want to zero-in, experience the original material and immerse themselves into context of the times (and the good / bad / ugly / archaic thay goes with it), can certainly choose to do so.

Thx again!

> But profit should not be the goal.

I'm not sure it is a goal. It certainly hasn't been the goal of most farmers since I started farming, and I am not sure it ever was. The goal of most farmers is to build wealth. Much like tech startups, they are willing to forego profit in the name of growth. Asset rich, cash poor is the name of farming.

> It's necessary

It's more or less necessary for a farmer to find profit somewhere, but that doesn't have to come from the farm. Most farmers also have off-farm jobs.
I grew up similarly and am also well off financially now too at 33. Yet, I can’t find a woman who would want to have kids with me.

The market has changed. Looks is paramount - I worked so hard to be financially stable and didn’t realize that it wasn’t my parents financial situation that had fucked me over so badly in life - it was their dogshit genetics that made me ugly.
Isn't that just admitting to exactly the sort of tying that antitrust is supposed to protect the public from? If you want to distribute your app (the thing they restrict anyone else from doing), you have to pay for their store hosting and tools etc. etc.

Meanwhile you have Epic offering to do the whole shebang for 10%, F-Droid doing it on Android for free apps for nothing, PayPal doing payment processing for a fraction of a percent over the credit card fees whereas Apple still wants 30% from in-app purchases that don't even use their hosting or tools. Makes it pretty clear that 30% is the monopolist lock-in price and not the free market price.
I don't think "answering math questions" is a good or interesting test of LLMs, especially prime number checks. Whether it ends up with the correct answer for any given question is largely down to luck. It simply cannot do basic arithmetic reliably, even with chain of thought. It's also, even if its performance at that task improves, a terrible waste of computational resources. Nobody would ever use it in a real world application -- at best you'd ask it to write a program that can determine it for you, something which it is reliably good at.
Your point about buyers at scale is really important. The current effort is focused on sellers, but we think that if sellers have to define their security commitments, buyers will pay attention and their risk management people will insist on high standards.

I fear it is practically unenforceable, particularly for consumer-grade devices manufactured overseas

Also a good point. The way we handle this for RF interference is to look at distributors and importers, not just manufacturers, but there will probably always be an untrustworthy product tier out there.

>Climate change may be making these problems more extreme

It most certainly is. The periods of drought are lasting longer and are more intense, and the colder periods aren't as cold and aren't nearly as "wet"

Climate may still be cycling as it did historically, however its happening with more intensity for hotter months and colder months aren't getting as cold. If models are even semi-accurate, the western Sierras may not even get snow packs in the winter at all but the highest elevations
