I’m wondering if the software world has something to learn from digital design here (for once), where there’s a huge emphasis on code coverage collection.

You really shouldn’t care how a function is tested. That there exists a test for that particular function isn’t particularly useful measure of how well the function is tested. So you need a methodology that tells you which of your functions have been covered by your tests. If it’s not covered you should make a judgement about how to get that coverage.

Getting your private methods covered by the public interface is good because it encourages you to write thorough tests for those public methods that covers all the ways the method might be used.
You can generate sentences of the form "This sentence begins with: " followed by seven comma-separated english words denoting hex digits. Then search that space of digits, until you get a hit.

For each digit combination, you can try it with multiple variations of the sentence like "The SHA256 of this sentence begins with", "The SHA256 hash of this text starts with" and many more. That increases the search space without increasing the number of digits that have to match, making it more likely that a hit is found.

Some of it might be apathy. I think a lot is also ignorance. On top of that, there aren't any great solutions being proposed.

I'm trying to question the core assertion you made, that the US federal relationship is not comparable to the EU's relationship to it's member "states" (which is what they are in fact called). Yes one is a federation and one is a confederacy, but what about that relationship makes it relevant to taxation?

Apparently employees of NATO don't have to pay taxes in any member state except the US. (https://www.taxesforexpats.com/articles/expat-tax-rules/nato...)

So even in the case where the US is a member of these special organizations, the employees are not tax exempt.

The only rationale you provided was:

> I think the aim is just to avoid having countries that happen to host lots of EU institutions receiving lots of national tax revenue as a result.

Why is it unreasonable for a country that hosts lots of EU institution to receive any tax income from that activity? Hosting an international organization's business must cost the host country money, it's not a free lunch.
As is often the case with these things - declaring high level rights is easy - practical enforcement is the hard part.

Regardless of what the answer to your question is, X is not a newspaper.
Franky, it's because python is only barely tolerable vs actual array-centered languages like Fortran or Matlab or Julia. It's bad enough having to sprinkle "np." and extra parentheses of various flavors and dangling commas everywhere along with whitespace eating up columns. The comparison should be with Matlab or Julia. Most people writing numpy-based code are trying to replace Matlab and Fortran.

Maybe you could be pedantically happy if "numpy" itself were renamed "np"? Then we can just "import np" and spare you from a DSL nightmare and ourselves from a few keystrokes while you can move on to complaining about obtuse, ungoogleable and inscrutable package names instead.
Modern technology has allowed us to reduce the scarcity of a lot of our daily needs to the point where they're dumped in landfills in order to manufacture scarcity.

X's moderation job is immensely larger than Musk's ego. And yes, I know it's tempting to make the obvious snarky variations on "nuh-uh, his ego is just that large, hurr hurr hurr", but, no, I'm serious, it's plural orders of magnitude larger. Social media networks have entire content moderation regimes in countries Musk does not care about or speak the language of. It's huge. It's arguably the defining moat for these companies. This employs an army of people both directly doing the content management and writing the intent analysis bots and all sorts of people and I'd guestimate, let's see, try to get the orders of magnitude approximately correct here so this is not just a random number of zeros, 0.0000000001% of moderation decisions made somewhere in X are a direct reflection of Musk's ego.

This war was lost a long time ago. Capitalism isn’t the answer, capitalism is the reason both the tech industry and legal industry paved the way for data, privacy, traffic and owned by big tech for them to solely monetize. People and their data are being farmed to work and create value for others and most are paid less than enough to keep food on their table and a roof over their head, once they no longer produce value they are shipped to the glue factory. It’s not a bug of capitalism, it’s a feature and big tech has optimized for it with data.
How did author just assumed that CPU are competetive for inference. Maybe yes if you just want to run 7 billion parameters model with batch size of 1, but with batching(including continuos batching of vllm), GPU have 2 order higher throughput. And even assuming moore's law is well alive, it will take decade to reach current GPU throughput. There is no way companies will shift to CPU for inference.

I'm sure there are plenty of ways to improve how Android does it, I was just using it as an example that I've had personal experience with. I'm not sure if the ability to make fake data is an essential part of owning one's data, but would be interested to hear arguments for it.
My estimate is 70% is peripheral and the eye can move across the screen in 105ms or so. (60° FOV 18° excluding peripheral and 400°/sec speed)

That makes things really hard when your absolute minimum input latency (that nobody gets in practice) is already 24ms at 60Hz.

Maybe once we start talking about higher frequencies it can make sense. VR is trying hard for higher refresh rates since we are more sensitive to input latency for things we are experiencing and is hoping that tech helps get there.

As a non-US, I sometimes get the feeling that for everything that a citizen / company does not like, he / it can just cite the first ammendment. It feels like half of a "get out of jail card" in monopoly. I do not know all the content of the first ammendment, but there must be a lot of text in.

Does anyone have a running list of cited reasons for why this is happening? The few people I've asked in executive decisionmaking circles have all chalked it up to judgment calls, but I'm inclined to believe that there's a more coordinated effort going on to backstop CRE.

Even the article blames emotions, and while I know people can be fickle, I find it hard to believe that there isn't some kind of data informing the move, whether it's data describing something that should be obvious (productivity) or something opaque or irrelevant to most employees (coordinated effort to prop up investments)

To clarify, I meant secondary economic/trade effects, not that the US directly depends on foreign food. If Asia experienced widespread famine and had its capability to export dry up suddenly, that would impact western standards of living quite a lot.
And price. In the middle east 2 dollars can get you a filling but very unhealthy meal. In North America 2 dollars might get you a packet of chips
$30K also sounds pretty low. House taxes/insurance/utilities/etc. aren't free and you need to budget at least something for maintenance. For most people in the US, automobile. Food even if you don't eat out a lot. Certainly there will be healthcare costs--even with Medicare.

That JSON isn't something you'd type, it's something that you can programmatically generate if you have a Home Assistant setup.

With super primitive wake word detection and transcription, the most you get is:

- What the user said

- How loudly each microphone in the house heard it.

If you take a look at the mock object in that transcript, that's what it maps to...

```json
{
"request": "I'm finding it hard to read"
"observedRequestVolume": [
3eQEg: 30,
iA0TN: 60,
h1T3y: 59,

]
}
```

The invented challenge was to see if using a suboptimal set of inputs (we didn't tell it where we are) it can figure out how to action.

It's zero-shot capability that makes LLMs suitable for assistants: traditional assistants can barely handle being told to do something they're capable of in the wrong word order, while this can go from hastily invented representation of a house and ambiguous commands to rational actions with no prior training on that specific task

From the byline: Competition enforcement by nations has had little impact. This doesn't "take on" big tech in terms of antitrust.

SHA256 is a one-way hashing function. Which means that feeding that sentence into SHA-256 and it starting with the characters in that sentence is very unlikely chance.

They probably wrote a script that tacked on a bunch of random letters and numbers to a sentence, then hashed it via brute force until it returned a hash that started with the exact same thing that the sentence said.

Otherwise we can quibble over how treating everyone as an average can and has cost lives [1]. People are different, and very small differences can have unexpectedly outsized impacts on usability.

That’s why they are fighting it. They don’t want to put that Musk is the moderation policy.
Does it need to be any more complicated than “we’re spending a TON of money on office space…”.
Training can take hours, days, weeks, or months.

Doesn’t the inference part only require seconds? Since it requires a fraction of the computation , can’t CPU’s be optimized for that? A few matrix multiplications
No? All they're requiring is clarification on what moderation (if any) is happening. This is almost the opposite of what you're describing, that more moderation you do the harder such clarifications become - if you do none then there's nothing to disclose.

Of course, arguably most people _want_ some minimum level of content moderation, so whether it's beneficial to do more or less content moderation is up to the company, they just have to disclose it.

I gotta be honest, that's pretty oppressive. Mom might have a right to not be homeless but IMHO has no right to enroll herself in a home in Italy and saddle her child with debt. Mom should have been repatriated back to the states if possible, and if not, the nursing home should have taken it out of her estate. Otherwise what's to stop someone from enrolling in a luxurious assisted living and sacking an estranged child with debt. Seems wrong to me.

While it's highly likely that in the future Nvidia's market share will be lower than it is now since there's basically only one direction share can go when it is currently ~99% (WAG). However it seems to me that the market will be larger in the future than it is now.

IOW a smaller share of a larger pie. Not necessarily bad for Nvidia.

That's impossible, if you change your movement it will mispredict and thus cause more lag, while exactly when you change is when it should feel the best. Consistency feels better.

There was insufficient context.
Imagine I tell you "turn on that light, where I'm pointing". You'd do no better. No one here is under the conviction magical prescience is involved. This tooling provides the mechanism for an initial API call to be tied to the event described, in natural language, as "look where I'm pointing".
The first response (to ask for clarification) is precisely what a human agent would do to get context to clarify the coarse-grained request. The second guess, assuming you disabled the (explicit) allowance for clarifying questions, is also a magnificent recognition of implicit, common-sense context. Seems it's even more effective than you at following the true context for this tools appropriate placement.
I don't think the article fully applies to large language models (LLMs).

> Inference will Dominate, not Training

This rings true. While LLMs will be fine-tuned by many, fewer companies will train their own independent foundation models from scratch (which doesn't require a "few GPUs", but hundreds with tight interconnect). The inference cost of running these in applications will dominate in these companies.

> CPUs are Competitive for Inference

I disagree for LLMs. Running the inference still takes a lot of the type of compute that GPUs are optimized for. If you want to respond to your customers' requests with acceptable latency (and achieve some throughput), you will want to use GPUs. For "medium-sized" LLMs you won't need NVLink-level interconnect speeds between your GPUs, though.
