Those bases are a great source of income for the local economy.

There's a reason despite the US military routinely asking congress to close down local bases and consolidate buildings to decrease costs that congress never lets them. That's money their district no longer gets!
- Price wise it's still competitive if looking at the cost per year

- I don't want to spend time and energy having to figure out which phone I should replace it with when the shitty phone dies after 12 months

- I care about the working conditions for the people actually assembling my phone

- I care about the impact my consumption has on the environment
They claimed that. I wonder why India might want to make up ridiculous claims about Canada recently, hmm...
I'm a big fan of Peter's videos. If you're not familiar with his YouTube channel, he travels around the world and does man-on-the-street style interviews and vlogging. Here's the one mentioned above where he visits the US/MX border: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdYAYgbf5Uc
You're probably gonna like what were working on right now.
It basically covers what you described. We've been wondering if it's actually a valid use case, and seeing that there are readers who'd want to do that is reassuring.
Would you want those notes public? And if they're public, how would you feel about people replying to them?
I should clarify, I believe language models will have an enormous technological impact. But the media and companies with a stake in it are blowing it way out of proportion. Like nvidia saying that they will create AI games. And it has caused people to extremely overestimate what a language model can do.

There is no reason to believe OpenAI will magically change the phone industry by making "OpenAI phones" whatever that is supposed to mean.

AI assistants in phones were a flop, and though their quality could change much with the use of language models this doesn't mean that people are going to use them this time. Currently it's not even possible to use language models in that sense, they are useful for generating text but it's near impossible to have them communicate to some external interface.

I've once talked to someone who gave a talk on an absolutely enormous call support framework for a bank, and he told me that they had no plans to ever integrate actual AI with their chatbot. Because those models can't be controlled/consored strictly enough.

What I am saying is that the actual technological advancement of language models has completely disassociated with the buzzword "AI" that is being thrown around a lot right now. And it's not dissimilar to how Meta or Web3 were discussed.
I'm in a holding patter at my current job that I was lucky to get right after the layoffs. Just wondering if people are having luck out there getting interviews / offers etc.

Hope everyones hangin in there <3
Like gas prices crime is out of control in all major American cities. Vote Republican to solve both problems or vote Democrat to make them worse. The choice is yours, but if you want to see who is responsible, simply look in the mirror.

Transform feudal countries into space powers in a few decades, eradicate illiteracy and homelessness appears good things for me.
If you know you want to open source a project eventually, it's easier if you start it in the open source part of the internal repo with all the licensing and headers in place. Open sourcing existing code is harder because you need to review that it hasn't used something that can't be opened.

So probably they just started the project two years ago, had aspiration to open source, and finally just did now. Some teams might publish earlier, some like to wait until it's had enough internal usage to prove it out.
I'd argue -- for my pedestrian use cases -- that Apple Maps is superior to Google Maps. UI is one reason.
I crossed into Mexico via Eagle Pass. I was hitchhiking throughout the US and then throughout Mexico with my wife. Nothing seemed so dramatic then, but maybe it's blown up in recent years. When I got to the bottom of Mexico I stayed a night in Tapachula, which was totally nuts. Flooded with French speaking black immigrants en route to the US.

Really interesting place. Lots of cool food and people to talk to with interesting stories. Painful stories, too. Such an overwhelming, disorienting place. Maybe it's changed too, though. The above-ground world we see on the news is stable because it's a mask for the entropic chaos of the underworld, where portals to the unknown pop in and out of existence all around you, and it's easy to get lost and everything disappears all the time, and you'll never be able to know how or why.

The real world is like a tornado made of spaghetti. And the fake world (like in Baudrillard's The Gulf War Did Not Take Place kind of way) feels so much realer and more familiar because it doesn't need to deal with the eccentricities and contradictions of reality, but can safely play with its symbols. Like the difference between making a Yoda out of Legos vs making a real Yoda. Blood and guts and bricks in boxes, flooding over wet dirt.

What a cheesy stunt, which of course makes it so fitting for someone like Mr 𝕏 dot com
If only we had statistical tools to compensate for this...
I hate how wet streets cause rain.
Can you describe in more detail what this actually means? I can't imagine what I would spend an hour doing to my resume that would somehow make it more attractive to a specific employer without outright lying.
Yeah, I think I saw in a video or something where you used to be able to be hanged for forgery, which basically led to no one ever being convicted of forgery because people didn't feel like the punishment really fit the crime.
It's not expensive enough to be worth leaving out in basically any car.

Basic security shouldn't be a premium feature.
"STARLAND VOCAL BAND? THEY SUCK!"
> How is this different from running pirated software for example? Big business doesn‘t do it.

All the current LLMs are trained on data scraped from random websites, with no regard for the website's copyright, aren't they?

Presumably because these big businesses have a theory training an LLM is 'fair use'.

Why wouldn't they treat books the same way they treat web pages?
Huh, I never gave that sentence much thought, and I guess I never realized it conveniently covered the whole alphabet. It makes so much more sense now!
(As someone who has spent quite a lot of my time, recently, going through this with a family member) the screening process is sometimes very demanding, but also often very opaque to those going through it. Our experience has been that, since the "checklists" are proprietary information, we have no idea what our chances of success are until we either get in or we don't.

This part definitely feels very broken to me. People going for clinical trials are often somewhat desperate, giving them that extra uncertainty to play with doesn't help.
> 1. Of course hotels will get more expensive. This is basic supply and demand at work.

Not if the hotels are sitting on off-market inventory. I'm not a hotel general manager, so I assume whatever analysis I would do would be overly simplistic. I just know that hotel rooms often go empty, so AirBnB rooms leaving the market might not affect supply and demand in simple ways.

Right. But then would you say that the way it is done in Slovenia is a problem? It doesn't really strike me as "intensive beekeeping".

However there are places where there is intensive beekeeping (like for almond production in California, I remember having seen a documentary) and that seems to be a completely different level.

And then there are places in China where they pollinate manually because all the insects die due to the pesticides, and that would be another extreme.

Not trying to make a point, just trying to understand if there is a point where "artisanal beekeeping" is fine or if it is always bad.
I've read this and it gives a pretty good overview of the history as well as current events surrounding the semiconductor industry. I think it gives a good high-level overview so you'll have the foundation to dig deeper.
I don't think that this book by itself would be enough to understand the semiconductor business, but it's a great place to start to get acclimated.
While I fully support this if user hostile then hostile user idea, I remembering hearing stories about people putting Biden stickers on pumps getting charged with crimes. Apparently any sticker or even magnet could be argued to be an attempt at changing its pumping mechanism. So maybe just be discrete.
Which makes the overall experience worse for hiring managers and qualified applicants.
Workday is awful from every angle.
More third party repairable as well.

>to imply that it wins out over the iPhone trade-in-and-get-it-recycled flow is just bonkers.

I made this point in another comment already, but for many people, it isn’t easy to access an Apple Store, and Apple is notoriously stingy with third party authorized repair
>Where management is helped more by having resources than it is by understanding it.

There are many examples of lottery winners, athletes, and celebrities who came across considerable resources yet still went broke because they didn't understand how to manage it or the concept of exponential growth.

A fool and his money are easily parted, as the saying goes. People who don't have financial literacy will lose their money over and over again regardless of how much you give them.
But it's not only about the sustainability of the existing phone, Fairphone also tries to be as sustainable as possible with the sourced materials.
Given the right away privileges ice road trucks are given (vs. normal cars...since they can't stop easily!), it seems like this would be a better first application of self driving than more chaotic environments.
Most projects try not to open something that's not going to be maintained. If they do it's usually rather loudly called out in the readme.
Being a PCP isn’t very profitable and pcps don’t really generate large profits for the hospital system so they don’t staff those positions well. The hospital system would prefer that you went to urgent care because they can charge 3-5x as much for the service if it’s urgent. That’s why urgent care clinics are popping up everywhere.
The broad public support is why your definition of censorship and the article's are incompatible, why it behooves you to explain the difference, and why it's lazy to invoke Orwell and complain about definitions without explanation.

I agree the FCC is all about censorship, but word games and snark is such a lazy and ineffective way to debate.
> Cloud Functions

I think I read somewhere that Cloud Functions are just Cloud Run under the hood anyways, so just use Cloud Run lol.
No. I don't think they're going to buy a niche phone. I'm advocating for repair-ability in general. All of my comments have been in response to the original comment I replied to, which was about AppleCare and iPhones.

Also, as for poor folks. Many of them buy iPhones. They do this because appearing poor with a cheap phone from Walmart hampers your career trajectory. These folks are essentially "faking it til you make it". This isn't even wrong, it's just a fact of the way society perceives people. Unfortunately, folks look down on you if you don't own a Samsung or iPhone and wonder why you have a budget flip phone.

These very people are those who would benefit from affordable phone repair. They can easily replace a battery or a screen without paying another $1000+ for an iPhone. This helps them keep up appearances while saving money. I know many, many folks like this. It's important we fight for these repair options to help all of us out.
Canonical sent me a 30 question "written interview" which asked all sorts of personal and irrelevant questions as the first step in their interview process. I ghosted them.
My ports are fine, something funky is up with yours. All 1st Gen hinges are bad, but the 2nd Gen hinge is almost perfect. All speakers are bad, battery life is bad, the fan is just a jet engine some times. The promise of an upgradable laptop is great, but it's less great if it's an excuse to ship sub-par default parts. If I have to replace most parts to end up with a laptop that makes me happy, it feels ... like I was cheated of the actual initial promise.

That said, I am happy with it. And still, I'm in for the experiment. If I can get one truly great inter-generational mainboard update while retaining most parts, then the "build" will have paid for itself. I'm on a 12th gen mainboard, hoping my next update will be some time around 2026 or 2027.
Here in Germany at least, I see less plastic packaging than there was when I came 10 years ago. For example, locally, you can take your container to the supermarket deli counter and they will fill it with cheese or meat. This is a big national chain (Edeka). I assume awareness is better in most countries than it was, and companies follow demand.
Is Bluesky Billionaire-Proof?
Why does this one needs pretrained models? Can't we use any of the thousands of already available ones?
I agree, but first we’d need vanilla Linux working very well on laptops. If we can’t fix that, I don’t see how phones will fare better, what with their crazy amount of components and non-OSS compatible vendors.
Indeed, the death knell could be tolling not for regulation of ai but for general purposes computers. In AI we have four horsemen: copyright infringement, illegal pornography, fake news generation, and democratization of capabilities that large companies would rather monetize.
It's not that there is an obligation to serve you for free. But the only alternative to personalized ads can't be a subscription.

What do you do if a user refuses the use of their data for ad targeting? In the worst car you show them untargeted ads. Ideally you target ads on ways that don't require that user's personal data, such as being based solely on the page content.

The newspapers are blatantly violating the GDPR, and it is kind of disgusting that the DPAs are choosing to selectively not enforce the law due to political reasons (governments can't afford to be seen as being against the local media).
Okay, I think this partly answers my previous question. Looks great!
We're looking to also let you add where you actually are in the book (page/minute) so the result can be close to an async book club. You'll also be able to set privacy, so they can be private notes or only shared with your network.
Ill write it up once it's done and post here, if it gains traction you might see it haha.

In all seriousness I can give a brief overview:

- I'll probably offload the image generation to the 5 year old intel nuc I already have as a home automation server, comfyUI in CPU mode takes 20-30 mins for a generation. Ideally it's all self contained on the Pi but that might be beyond me, skill wise.

- prompts are composed by taking time of day, season, special occasions (birthdays, xmas etc); adding random subjects from a long manually curated list; then asking gpt4 to creatively remix the prompt for variety

- i have an inky impression 7.3 inch 7 color eink display and a raspberry zero stuck onto it. Right now it'll simply download new images from the NUC every once in a while

- i like wood and i dislike the jagged 3d printer aesthetic so I'll create a frame from laser cut plywood by designing some stackable svg shapes in inkscape and sending those to a laser cutter

It works right now, functionally.

Considering that I'm painstakingly writing this on a phone with a sleeping 3 week old baby on my chest it'll be while before i have the energy to make it look like something you'd hang on your wall
Weather apparently is one. Not that the relation is clear cut, but temperature and precipitation are said to have a mild effect.
> Sheriffs

A well-known group with no horse in this race /s.

Meanwhile, the op mentions, “Musk didn’t speak with any migrants or residents of Eagle Pass. Nor did he interview migration experts or even the Border Patrol.” Which sure makes this seem like an appropriate “hit piece” in context.
Shooting from the hip, approx the circumference of the earth.
Copyright infringement is quite cheap as well. Ease and illegality are tangential. You'd still stop commercial acts even if it's impossible to fully stop something.

That said, I don't think blanket regulation is all that likely anyhow.
Yes, and that your relationship with the host is fundamentally adversarial regardless of whether the interaction was benign or not.
Yeah, the Miata is amazing.

Dare I say it, it would be better than the RX8/RX9 if they just put a big wankel in it.
I own a Framework, have been using it daily for 2+ years, and it's been a rock-solid workhorse for me - haven't dealt with any of the issues that you describe. Sorry to hear! Have you contacted support?
Same. I didn't realize it was other people until I came here. Then... I went back to the page and had fun trying to follow other people's cursors.
It’s 699€ in Europe; not sure about the price in India. But that feels prohibitive for my budget, so I imagine it’s expensive for the average Indian consumer?
This can be educated/advertised. A label saying "finger prints on our dvds prove they are safer for you(r children) and the environment" would be enough I suppose.

Models affected by this extend well into the 30k range. This is not just affecting the cheapest possible vehicle someone can buy and we're running into people not setting expectations accordingly. Equally cheap vehicles from other manufacturers are not nearly this easy to steal, particularly by completely inexperienced thieves.

Seems to me you are conflating fault and guilt.

Second degree murder implies at minimum extreme indifference to human life if not intent to harm whereas he took her to the doctor then the hospital and gave her medicine then deemed medically appropriate and only now known to be harmful.

Where are you seeing the extreme indifference to human life?
You have a very-colorful impression of the Civil War.
It's the thought that counts...
Creatives will have their hopes and dreams stripped away so that artless and tasteless software engineers can type words into a box and instantly get exactly what they want, with no surprises, no feelings, and no economic upsides for anyone else. A beautiful future indeed.
At my job we do database migrations 1 week and then deploy code the next. That way if any problems happen in either, it’s easier to roll back.
Local privilege escalation in glibc’s ld.so
Yes, the leaders of those nations depend on US influence (and sometimes hard power) to remain in power.

I don’t want to oversimplify things, and yet: how did that come about?
It's - technically - a problem with TLS, not HTTPS. TLS requires the server to pick a key way before user sends first encrypted bytes (like a HTTP host header). It's not a problem when every HTTPS server has another IP, but that internet is gone. So if there are two domains with different TLS certificated hosted on a single IP:port, the webserver has to guess which key to use (usually one is the default).

To fix this, SNI extension to TLS was introduced. Now TLS client will optionally send a plaintext domain name it tries to connect to, and the webserver picks a key for that domain. Which is nice but... now the client is leaking their domain name. Encrypted hello in TLS finally fixes this problem.
Why isn't the solution for the offender to pay the cost of cleanup, and for the cleanup to happen?
Allowing DML operations in highly compressed time-series data in PostgreSQL
This reminds me of the gandalf challenge.
Early on I had beaten the final challenge by role playing a 10yo gatekeeping his treehouse and got the AI to spell out the password by putting the answer as the first letter of each word in its response.

Later on, this was fixed, but it shows how role playing can have surprisingly degrees of depth and confusion on the AI's part. Reminds me of many of the anecdotes in GEB.
You can’t insure repeated ordinary course of business losses that you have almost total control over and are a core part of your business function.

You didn’t answer my question because it’s impossible to come up with a reasonable answer.

In insurance the cost of losses is borne by people who did not suffer loss.

So the cost of your car crash is borne by someone who didn’t have a crash. But they’re OK with it because they don’t know if and when it’ll happen to them. And an accident is a major loss, so they’d rather pay a little every month to avoid the uncertainty.

But shoplifting is a week in and week out thing. If you have a shoplifting policy that’s reliably more expensive than the shoplifting why would you keep it?

You wouldn’t because it’s not a thing.

You can insure for major losses, robberies and burglaries and so on. But no retail stores can’t and don’t insure for things like someone driving off with a tank of gas, or pocketing an iPad, or a steak, or something. It’s not an insurable risk.
From my (albeit naive) reading, it doesn't appear that that they've reduced the amount of memory bandwidth required, simply the size of the working set required.

Since inference is generally memory bandwidth bound once you reach the level of 'does this model even fit in the given system', I'd imagine that this technique wouldn't help much for greater throughpit via larger batch sizes. Just one instance is probably already saturating the memory controller.

Maybe it'd help on the training side though?
Flyway and Liquibase are typical migration tools.

Best practice is to have your new code backwards-compatible with the old schema so you can do blue-green deployments.
> then wouldn't that also apply to the prizes at the top?

It does, but the politics and favoritism is happening within a heavily selected group of very, very competent people. Plenty of people get snubbed for petty reasons, but they get snubbed in favor of others who are also doing Nobel-worthy work.
