> There are toy examples of fine tuning in facts that are not of use outside of academic considerations at this point, and I sense it's contributing to the widespread confusion about fine-tuning's value proposition

The answer for someone asking that question is a strict no. Many people asking this stuff only have access to SFT, so it's a super no for them.

Honestly I don't get this weird obsession right now with LLMs and throwing random roadblocks in any sort of common knowledge of the subject. If someone in CS 101 asked if they could write a game engine in CSS you wouldn't get people lining up to tell them the answer isn't "No." despite it technically being possible (https://github.com/brookjordan/css-game-engine) because we understand that sometimes to enable understanding of a subject you need to setup some solid ground for new entrants to stand on.

Fine-tuning is not for knowledge. If you get comfortable enough to start experimenting with that application, you'll understand that there's some nuance to that statement either way and get to research/tinker/push boundaries armed with enough knowledge to not accept the simple no.

There are non-evidenced beliefs on both sides. The reason you think you are correct is because you assume that your beliefs are facts.

Indeed, your comments imply that you are fully immersed in this illusion and are unlikely to accept any suggestion to the contrary.
That's not an example of a distributed system, so it doesn't really clear up whatever the GP was trying to say about time in distributed systems at small scales.

But even if it was this is nonsensical. The visual content of a photo is generally not what is used to determine the moment in time when it was captured. There's metadata in the image format that specifies when the photo was taken.

There are pictures taken at almost the same moment in time all the time around the world, and there are many pictures taken of the same place, what's special about the situation here is that both of those things happened, and the subject isn't hyper famous, and it isn't a static object, so the chances of it happening were very low.
> India is accused of killing one person.

By the entire international community. Including Americans (though the US officially is trying to stay out of it): https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/09/ca...

By India and only India.

You can keep saying that the Khalistan movement is a terrorist movement but that seems to be only one facet of the equation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalistan_movement

> False equivalence.

I wasn't drawing an equivalence. You were trying to trap me with Whataboutism, and I was saying I agree with your criticisms. It's not a gotcha.

> The Khalistanis in your country are your citizens fighting for a secession in another country. Foreign terrorists at best. The so-called Khalistani movement is not as popular in India as it is in Canada.

I can't find a clear confirmation for this but my understanding is Nijjar had to give up his Indian citizenship when he got Canadian. So that he's "foreign" to India is a diplomatic technicality.

> It's basically an overseas separatist movement supported by Canada. Let's see how Canada reacts if another country - say China- wants to annex its territories.

Even if Canada, as a matter of international policy, was "supporting" this movement (which it isn't), how would this be a valid equivalence? Canada is not trying to annex any territories for itself...

Allowing human beings to express an opinion is not a tacit endorsement of them.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Canada

You could've just said Afghanistan and laid the responsibility of the re-conquering of that nation by the Taliban under Canada's responsibility rather than gish-galloping with a list of every single conflict since 1002 AD.

But keep in mind your point was that Canada has no credibility as a free and democratic institution because of it. I don't know what is the actual example but Afghanistan was controlled by the terrorist Taliban before the invasion, and it still is.
you mean, spending so little right? if they were wrong, the most likely outcome is they would have ended up roughly even.
The distributed part is the clocks on the cameras across the world. The article discusses the timestamp is included in the exif data embedded in the jpeg file.

The clocks are most likely synchronized based on gps assuming they’re already pulling location data from the satellites, the time is “free”. However, the precision of the clocks is not specified and like any process is subject to error. So at the small timeframes here (sub millisecond), you are potentially within the margin of error. When the error bars of several measurements from distributed parts of your system overlap, how do you determine an ordering between them?
Seems like you both agree that it's difficult for new competitors to emerge. It's great that a very small number of extremely rich people managed to to gain some kind of entry into the industry, but that's not exactly compelling evidence that the barriers to entry don't disadvantage competition. Especially considering that I really only see Tesla's cars on the road and they are few and far between compared to the cars I see made by the entrenched "big three". Even with the efforts of billionaires, it's a massive uphill battle.
There would be two copyright holders, one for each image.

The 386SL adds a cache controller, memory controller, AT bus controller, and EMS 4.0 hardware, which is why it has more than three times the transistors. I checked multiple independent sources before posting, and they all said 855,000 transistors for the 386SL. (Sources from 1990s, so they're not parroting Wikipedia.) The cache controller has a (relatively) huge amount of tag RAM, which accounts for a lot of the additional transistors.

Every couple years there are scams like this all over the World.

They usual go the "spiritual" route and end like pretty much every cult ends, ie. it becomes an harem, someone gets raped and/or killed and police gets called.

The other way is the "political" route, they usually get a small group and try to create their own "perfect system" isolated from external influences ( of course.. ). When police comes down and tells them they can't simply take some land and make their own "laws", of course its the police being "oppressive/fascist/[insert your one "ism"] and they are the victims.

I've seen this playbook and least since the 60's but I'm sure it existed before that.
You're right, I do.

But I also think you underestimate the West's perception of India. By and large, people do see the country as a democratic, powerful, diverse, proud empire.

I'm not speaking for the racists, but those are the same everywhere.

What people DON'T care for is Modi's Hindutva, his populist movement that makes people so angry online, or the extra-judicial policies that they've followed to just name certain people (like Nijjar) as terrorists, and then make no other effort to prove their guilt.
I'm not sure this is really an issue with transactionality as a single request can obviously be split up into multiple transactions, but rather that even if you correctly flag the email as pending/errored, you either need to process these manually, or have some other kind of background task that looks for them, at which point why not just process them asynchronously.

It always has been for the FBI. They have long treated any outspoken anti-establishment or anti-authority with suspicion and - especially when combined with a minority race - hostility.

See how they treated anybody who believe socialism was good back in the cold war days. How they kept detailed files on people who spoke against the powers held by the authorities.

By all means, if you have studies showing that broad screening programs are beneficial in terms of overall (not cancer-case only) QALY then please share them. I'm guessing you don't.

> As you're choosing to limit the discussion to overall survival, do you have any data to support the claim that screening has more than a negligible negative effect?

Do you have any data to support the claim that screening has more than a negligible positive effect on overall survival? (No).

Stop trying to put the burden of proving a negative on me. If you want to advocate for spending ten of billions of dollars annually (not to mention time and stress) on broad screening programs you bear the burden of demonstrating that's useful.

If we can afford to spend the money on screening everyone certainly we can afford to spend less money to run a large randomized trial screening only some people, but advocates of the screening programs won't stand for it because they are convinced of their own righteousness and refuse to admit uncertainty about whether the screening programs are actually doing more good than harm.

if they post images and such providing evidence that they're plotting and have real weapons, if they're plotting the assassination of Lincoln using fake civil war weapons not so much, one clear distinction is members of a larp would only ever talk about police and govt if a real legit LARPer were having some criminal issue valid or not.

Terrorists will seem wary or apprehensive or even combative in regards to police and govt, and have real weapons involved. They might even mention on social media derogatory remarks towards actual living people, LARPers may trash talk at Lord Farquad of The kingdom of Shrek but that's not the same as plotting to kidnap a govt official.

Thirty years ago when I was doing amateur packet radio, the digipeaters would often get crowded and collisions were frequent. If everyone played nice, the exponential backoff timers would work as expected, but it did not take long for people to learn that they could disable the Nagle algorithm, and/or increase the length of their (AX25) preamble so they would own the channel. Increasing the preamble meant that even if there was a collision, the longer preamble would use up enough time so that the "enemy" packet would be finished before the "evil" packet began to send the important bits, so it would be received properly. Disabling the Nagle algorithm (by hard-coding the backoff timer length to zero) would ensure that the "evil" transmitter would be the first one to key up after a collision.

CSMA/CD works pretty well on a shared wire, but not very well on a single radio frequency where you cannot "hear" other people trying to reach the same mountain-top receiver. I'm glad that aspect of congestion is now a thing of the past. (Now that everything (wired) is switched, it's all point-to-point, so the only congestion we get is from insufficient bandwidth on the trunk, and we have ECN for that.)

> The market can de-competitiveize itself through non-compete agreements, intellectual property laws, and other barriers to entry. The competitiveness occurs around the "ruleset", which shifts around according to the regulatory environment.

What you're getting at is that market competition can be destroyed through regulatory capture. But now you're making the case for regulatory form and anti-trust rather than some kind of labor laws, which was kind of what I was getting at to begin with.

Trying to regulate an artificial monopoly is a fool's errand, not least because if they have the political influence to capture regulators and retain their monopoly then they can also interfere with the passage or enforcement of anything that benefits workers at their expense. So all efforts should be directed to breaking them into tiny, tiny pieces none of which have enough power to capture the government.

That's a good point. Likely, rates have mostly peaked. There will potentially be downward pressure soon.

On top of that, many cars are hard to get. Low production, backlogged demand. This means fewer deals on finance and lease rates.

I remember 0% lease and finance rates, 15 years ago when the interest rate was this high, because car companies wanted to move product. But now they have no need, not with them unable to supply demand.

So my point is, I decided to keep my current car longer. Rates matter.

The article had many good points. But many claims about LARP were not universal or not clear. Some performances are private. Some LARP is solo. The article acknowledged small groups but the table did not. People in many hobbies discuss law enforcement concerns, guidance to each other if confronted by an officer, and criminal cases where the hobby is mentioned. Role players have confirmation bias like other people. Some theatrical presentations have real antagonists.

I really wish I could bring myself to get into sxmo more. It seems like something I'd like, but I mostly find myself confused when I try to use it. Even if it's not perfectly suckless, maybe it's a bit more in the "suckless" dimension than I can bear--I did like dwm for a while, but I switched to i3wm and later Sway and never really looked back.

There's obviously a lot of small little projects that implement cool ideas, but one thing that is a little bit of a bummer is that there's really no obvious solution that you can flash onto a Pinephone and call it daily-driver ready. It would really be nice if standard-ish Linux desktop environments could be adapted to work well on phones; I mean, at this point, the proof-of-concepts are enticing enough for me to believe that it'd be worth the effort. That having been said, I've been wondering if maybe to get the Pinephone to a working state, if it'd be better to actually go for a very minimal base system and try to build a more or less non-standard usermode. Something like, musl, pipewire, eg25-manager, a custom wlroots compositor that implements most of the actual phone features directly, and some simple system software to go under it (file browser, terminal, etc.) The main thing I really want is to get the absolute best possible battery efficiency, something that can manage rtcwake to occasionally check for notifications and handle some basic alarm clock functionality, and intelligent enough system software to e.g. restart the EG25 when it seems to be stuck. (Usually on Phosh + Debian, restarting the eg25-manager systemd unit is enough, so apparently it'd be good enough to just find a way to detect when it's stuck and restart eg25-manager.) It's a lot of work, and I admit that it feels like you'd be going a tad in the direction of Android by ditching most of the standard userland. But on the other hand, there's so many damn projects involved with most functionality in the device that it is a bit difficult to even know where to start when it comes to troubleshooting, and in my opinion it'd still be nicer than Android if the userland was "standard" enough to still run typical desktop apps and run more-or-less stock kernels.

Then again, for now, I feel my frustration would be better spent trying to debug what's already there. I'm wondering if maybe it would be possible to improve the wake times, for example... I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the resume time is taken before the Linux kernel gains control, but maybe it'd be worth trying to get something like pmgraph running to see if there's any room for improvement.
