The point their making is that they're both equally irrelevant to the consideration of using wind turbines to generate electricity.

Why are we even having a discussion about bird death from wind turbines? That's the important question.

It isn't because people and companies suddenly started caring more about animal deaths from electricity production. It's straight up FUD about renewable energy.

Articles like this, and discussion about bird deaths from turbines in general, frame the issues as something that must be talked about and discussed before installing wind turbines. As if the status quo is 0 environmental impact.

But it's not. The status quo is oil, fossil gas, and coal. All of which have a significantly higher environmental impact, by orders of magnitude, than however many birds do or do not get killed by wind turbines.

But we do apply special relativity to subatomic particles, using a framework called relativistic quantum field theory. It is important to consider relativistic effects when the subatomic particles move close to the speed of light, which they do in particle accelerators. So the outcome of accelerator experiments is described extremely well by relativistic quantum field theory.

The hard part is combining the principles of relativistic quantum field theory with general relativity, or gravity, which describes how matter propagates in a space curved by its very presence. The effects of gravity are indeed completely negligible in particle accelerator experiments, which is why we can describe their outcome in a theory that does not include gravity. But these same effects dominate in other scenarios, for example in early universe cosmology and black hole physics.

Understanding the physics of these other scenarios is one motivation, but on top of that physicists just find it really irksome to not have a single theory that (at least in principle) describes all physics at once, because it indicates that they are missing something fundamental. That is why they are working so hard on topics like string theory.

All of this is is no way related to the article, by the way. First, everything related to the measurement 'paradox' is a big deal in popular science but firmly in the rear view mirror for almost all practicing physicists. Second, the experiments discussed in the article are described perfectly with ordinary quantum mechanics, which in the above context is just a limiting case of relativistic quantum field theory. (In particular, of course doing a measurement means interfering with the system, but that is all understood perfectly well and does not mean that we cannot observe quantum effects.)

> not going for the most mysterious things you can do on advanced AI

Like what? In my experience, there are very few things that GPT-4 is definitively better at. It's good at explaining stuff, but not so good that I would deliberately avoid ChatGPT to use it. It's alright at coding, but code-optimized models regularly beat it in benchmarks. Plus, it's got the same lame filter and even an arbitrary request limit for paying customers.

I struggle to really imagine the "mysterious things you can do on advanced AI" that is impossible or impractical on local models. In my time using GPT-4, I was not really left wanting for more so much as I wanted it to stop saying "As an AI model..."

> [Tor is] designed to protect the most vulnerable internet users out there -- people facing state censorship on the level of corporal punishment being used, for example

While this is the reason Tor was created, I don't believe it's good to segregate usage based on whether we actually need that level of privacy or not. If anything, using tor when no one else uses it may decrease privacy, because you're more easily targetable. If everyone uses it all the time, it's not clear anymore whether you're using it because you actively try to protect yourself or it's just there. Just like SSL was created at a time when businesses started to get interested in the web, now TLS is used for everything and can't be used to target specific uses.

Tor is like vaccines and masks: it works better if everyone uses them
Disclaimer: I have an EE/CS degree from a "top 50" public university where there was no grade inflation, it was fairly expensive ($20k net debt), and a sink-or-swim treatment of students.

In industry, I've experienced much unprofessionalism and ignorance emanating mostly from coders (they're definitely not engineers) who lack knowledge and experience. Most don't understand big-O notation, never had vector calculus, don't understand cryptographic primitives, couldn't design an algorithm or data structure from scratchm and don't have familiarity with fundamentals. The fundamental they're missing are programming language implementations (lexers vs. parsers), NFA->DFAs, operating systems, and network protocols. This is a problem because such coders also tend to lack curiosity because they're just there for the paycheck, don't understand how to profile their code, and tend to put up barriers about things above and below their niche in the stack. In summary, they tend to not adopt the pride of craftsmen with understanding, mastery, and excellence, and this makes them difficult to tolerate because shit ensues.
>Although I have my own domain for some mail, I've been using pobox.com for this and other reasons since 2009. It's quite cheap and safe redirect since it now belongs to fastmail.

Same, both in owning my own domain name and using pobox.com. Customer since 1996 and primary email address since 1999 because my college address closed at graduation. Since then my email has been hosted at ISPs, at various other providers, and at a Google Apps site, but it doesn't matter because the pobox address never changes. My college address works again, but I've long since used the pobox address in too many places to mass migrate away.

Right now they have a god awful synthesis of three types of GUI wrappers for their webpages, so as you navigate across the site nothing stays consistent. Sometimes the language will randomly change to Spanish. It's website gore.

I don't think that's true. We have been using ASP .NET Core + SignalR for everything in Notesnook[0]. It has great performance, libraries for everything out there, very good ergonomics, and a mature ecosystem.

I know you can probably get more performance out of Rust or Go but I don't think rq/s benchmarks really hold up in reality. If you are running a startup, you'd probably see 1 to 2 rq/s unless you become viral. .NET Core can easily handle that and more.

I can't tell if this is serious that you're a startup using 3 languages with plans to use 2 more.

The reason is pretty simple. It's because those 1st party frameworks are awesome. There is very little reason to build something else when you can contribute to them instead. ASP.NET is crushing other web frameworks in performance on techempower benchmarks, it's up there with Rust frameworks. And EF is probably the best full fledged ORM in existence (when compared to something like Java Hibernate).

Abstract
While recently Multimodal Large Language Models (MM-LLMs) have made exciting strides, they mostly fall prey to the limitation of only input-side multimodal understanding, without the ability to produce content in multiple modalities. As we humans always perceive the world and communicate with people through various modalities, developing any-to-any MM-LLMs capable of accepting and delivering content in any modality becomes essential to human-level AI. To fill the gap, we present an end-to-end general-purpose any-to-any MM-LLM system, NExT-GPT. We connect an LLM with multimodal adaptors and different diffusion decoders, enabling NExT-GPT to perceive inputs and generate outputs in arbitrary combinations of text, images, videos, and audio. By leveraging the existing well-trained highly-performing encoders and decoders, NExT-GPT is tuned with only a small amount of parameter (1%) of certain projection layers, which not only benefits low-cost training and also facilitates convenient expansion to more potential modalities. Moreover, we introduce a modality-switching instruction tuning (MosIT) and manually curate a high-quality dataset for MosIT, based on which NExT-GPT is empowered with complex cross-modal semantic understanding and content generation. Overall, our research showcases the promising possibility of building an AI agent capable of modeling universal modalities, paving the way for more human-like AI research in the community.

I wish he built a "Edit a form in a slideover". Modals are already part of the core_components and the Phoenix team has done a good job of covering edge cases around CSS transitions. But slideovers have one aspect that's not well covered in modal flow: in/out transitions. Slideovers have a slide-in effect when they are invoked and at the end of transition load the form component which is a live_component. When you cancel/close they slide-out along with the form component. At the end of the transition is when you want to remove the live_component from live_view. Handling these transitions with live_components is very tricky.

Yes, and most successful companies who started in the last ~20 years started ( and many continue ) with a monolith and a MySQL database.

Only the mega-cap ones started to pursue other options mostly due to their type of business and bucket-loads of "free" VC money with explicit orders to burn it and get "unicorn" status - which involves hiring thousands of developers in record time and the whole thing turns into a zoo. Which is an organizational problem, mostly not a tech one.

Other than the ones we pretend are the whole Universe, there are thousands and thousands of medium to big companies with billions of revenue who started their product with a monolith and a MySQL database and many still do just that.

I remember spotting a person with green shoes from very far away, like I grew a superpower. I always had it, but in my sober life it's filtered otherwise it would be overwhelming. Many people go through their life without having had the chance to see the unrefined, raw signal of reality.
