I think we can in minor ways. Adjusting expectations, becoming more resilient, simplifying one's life, consuming less, learning to make and do things yourself. I think those things will pay off even if they won't change anything substantial.
For me, the repetition is a feature, not a bug. It's similar to Buddhist meditation practices, which also involve a lot of repetition. It really helps my brain to fully absorb the message and walk away feeling more calm and in control. But as with any philosophical text, your mileage may vary.
This paper is about genetic “distance,” not literal geographic distance.
My question is at what point do government fail?

I know it seems like a nut job question but, if we assume global warming is nothing we've seen before event then wouldn't at least some governments fail?

Is there some way to predict it? Let's also assume some radical change in some governments like to a fascist or communist type regime is possible as well

Yes! This was it exactly. Running Puppy in RAM on my old netbook was amazing:-)
It's called "a posture of shallow cynicism" that adds nothing to the discussion.
The real question, he said, is whether we overshoot 1.5 C by a little bit and come back down, “Or whether we go blasting through one and a half degrees, go through even two degrees and keep on going.”

That's not even a question. Of course we're going to go blasting through 1.5C. And we're going to keep accelerating. We haven't even come close to pretending to try to make a difference.

I have absolutely no idea what messaging is most appropriate to convey that. We're still stuck on trying to convince people that anything is happening at all. A minority of people, to be sure, but a minority controlling a significant fraction of the world's wealth (and, not coincidentally, a wildly disproportionate fraction of the world's energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions).

To my mind, the fact that we're looking at 4-5C by the end of the century isn't even the worst part. I'll be dead by then. But right now, today, we're having battles over really obvious and simple scientific facts, where the overwhelming evidence is on one side and we still can't make progress. That goes well beyond climate change. It shows up in every aspect of American culture. That's making a lot of lives much worse, today, right now.
it has no reason (or will) to choose malevolence, it will only use the morality we tell it to have, and thus will be a perfect reflection of what we want to be, in a way that even our very own kids cannot fulfill

> don't know if it's competitive today

very, it's outcompeting most vector databases on features and maturity when it comes to vector search while having very powerful and flexible and proven text search too

The tricky part is, it's more a platform to build complex search systems with then "just" a vector database. So if a found a company today which focus is to create clever multi phase search pipelines and train (e.g. domain adopt) LLMs for calculating embeddings etc. then it's probably _the_ best solution by far, you probably can get away with having only AI engines devops and a single programmer (who might also most times just do devops). But if you need to deeply integrate it into a different existing search system things are less grate.

And I would love to see some modernization, like having a format for structured queries which is more widely supported then YQL... (eying graphql here)

Okta plans to weave AI across its entire identity platform using multiple models
Naomi Klein has a 2014 book called "this changes everything", and she makes the following argument.

(1) if we don't act, everything will change (via climate catastrophe)

(2) if we do act, everything will change (via our actions)

(3) in the former case it's basically just bad things are happening to us, in the latter we have some choice how we change it.

(4) as everything will change in any case, conservatism (as in "everything should be conserved as it is") is no longer an alternative

This is, of course, radically compressed, she is more subtle and writes better than I do.

I think a massive problem is that this argument hasn't spread wider. A lot of people seem to think/wish/hope/imagine/copium/lie/phantasise/extrapolate a future basically like our world, just a bit more futuristic, is a possibility. It isn't. And telling your children the coral reefs will be okay creates more of such people.

I'm using nom to parse a simple access control DSL in https://github.com/wbbaddons/Tims-PackageServer/blob/master/.... You can see how it looks in the tests of the linked file.

The DSL supports comparison operators, '&&', '||' and nested expressions, while preventing mixing of '&&' and '||' without making precedence clear using parentheses. This DSL should fit 'non-trivial', but it still should be simple enough to easily understand it.

Socialists who socialize the costs and privatize the profits.

Now that they've atracted professionals and entrepreneurs from other places with less fortunate weather at the cost of alienating their younger generation, they can safely stop the tax breaks.

> crispness of a true pen plot was never really matched by modern printers

I don't know about that. Pen plots can, at a push, achieve the equivalent of about 250dpi.

Back in the early 90s, I wrote software for the first inkjet “plotter” (a wide format printer that used HP inkjet cartridges, and rasterized HP-GL commands on the fly). Even back then, we could get 600dpi resolution, and today's printers can do up to 2400 dpi.
Super funny comments, loved this!
Mathematics programs in Europe still use oral examinations, though they are increasingly rare in the United States. I'm not European, but I have always preferred oral examinations over written examinations because I can actually communicate my understanding of the problem to the professor and outline my thought process towards a solution, something that is much harder to do in writing, especially since you cannot get any hints or feedback on your attempts during a written examination -- you're on your own.
I imagine those would be highly correlated too.

Is not having to build a dockers image worth $100 a month? I do find server setup to be a pain but I think if I will use a model for a year, I can take the time(3-4 hours) to set it up. Only with constant switching of models would I use a service like this.

I never set up bigger models like LLAMA on servers. Other hacker news people can chime in.

> “Up until this point, the mechanism we’ve used to identify who is the owner of the Hue system and can do this [control your bridge], is by physical access to the device — and pressing the button on the bridge,” says Yianni. “This approach is inadequate going forward, and we need a more robust way to identify the owner of the system and enable them to manage their system — the Hue account is how we will do this.”

So instead of needing physical access to compromise the device, now anyone with an internet connection across the world is a potential attacker? This improves security, how? Come on, who are you kidding? You're duping users into setting up accounts so you can suck up all that sweet, juicy data they have.

LLMs aren't world models. They're linguistic models. However, with the right training database, it turns out that a good parsimonious linguistic model will have a (multiple, probably) world model as a subset, as it is so much better at compressing/predicting the textual stream.

When I was a student at a uk university, essays were, I think, written in examinations where one can’t easily use AI, as were most of the other things one would need for a degree. There was a small coursework component of my course and I think others. But I’m still a bit surprised — surely if you are getting a coursework essay from a history or English student or similar, the AI will be a worse writer and won’t have sufficiently detailed knowledge to write about the topic, so either the essay won’t really make any sense if you think about it (which you’d hope examiners would be able to tell) or the student will have done their own research and gotten the AI to form the students opinions into the essay, but they will then likely synthesise a much worse essay than the one the student could have written.

Doing practicals seems good, and I think proctored examinations can add objectivity too.
Because it's specifically the combination that's toxic to Meta. "Mickey Mouse stickers" gets you a standard C&D. "Disney Characters doing things that Disney perceives as damaging to their family friendly™ brand" gets you a rabid lawyer personally handing you the C&D and instructing you to fix it now.

I.E. not only is it offensive, it's offensive in a legally actionable way. Which I suppose is the opposite of my earlier emphasis, but different context.
Unfortunately, it tries to also be a replacement for forums, with the worst of both worlds (the lack of real time, AND the lack of discoverability).

yep, the older you are the better you see through this nonsense. first it was global cooling - fail, then global warming - fail, now climate change which is a mighty convenient catch-all term to be used to justify whatever fake solution is being proposed.
I agree with you but I think you've ignored the economic part of the argument. These aren't choices between equal options, we're strongly pushed to the technological option because last-year's default is now significantly more expensive. The technological option is required to tread water because the world is no longer designed for having children young, or living with your parents, or isolationism.

We are, according to the argument, not seeing a just portion of the gains technology brings.
Darn. Mine’s more than one page. :/
208VAC Is a Weird Voltage. Where Did It Come From?
Actually I was not complaining. I was trying to help: both you and anyone else reading that might believe your assertion that "sopping to" has the meaning you believe.
To get a very broad idea: if you had perfectly efficient but isotropic antennas (you don't) this would be about the power level you'd get receiving a typical 3W hand-held radio signal at 140MHz from 1,000 kilometers away. This is why you can talk to the International Space Station easily enough with vanilla ham radio equipment.

Or, taking a notoriously powerful FM radio station like KRUZ 103.3, it would be like hearing that station from perhaps 300,000 kilometers away.

Most loss is not free-space loss though - it's due to reflections from man made objects and absorption into the earth that results in line-of-sight effects at these frequencies.

The 5A's have some kind of mass motherboard defect and the warranty was quietly increased to 2 years.

And how does one not imply the other, or are you suggesting that one parent born in County Cork of its native stock, and the other born in Hokkaido are going to have just as likely a chance at the same genetic distance as both parents born in the same geographic region?

Sandboxing code generated by LLMs is another of my use-cases for this, that's a fantastic link, thanks!
Neat! I hope you can learn more from Koh.

I know a bit about Henriette Avram and her work at LoC developing MARC, but it of course makes sense that other libraries were thinking along similar lines at the time.
But now you're stuck with no more security updates, but Samsung has gotten much better at that as well recently.
I think a lot of the basic tasks with LLMs can be done without ML but what I find interesting is learning how to use LLMs to do interesting things and the ceiling being a lot higher than with traditional methods.

Learning how to use a new tool with older type of work can be useful and enlightening.
I cannot vouch for what is going on in their heads. But they tell pollsters it's a hoax. They vote for politicians who say explicitly that it's a hoax. They tell each other, and everybody else, that it's a hoax on social media.

Maybe deep in their hearts somewhere they don't believe it, but it's so deep that it's impossible to locate.
You know, I'm more on the side of the worker than capital a lot of the time and I despise much of modern hiring processes, but a cover letter doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I would think you could template it significantly and still avoid making it too boilerplate.

Like start with some bio - as a young child, I took everything apart to see how it worked (much to my parents' chagrin). From that I learned to see the beauty of a mechanical watch ticking away, and I see a similar beauty in a RabbitMQ server ticking away messages, directing them where to go and seeing the inside of the system at work - it's been a lifelong interest of mine.

That part can pretty much stay the same. Then write a paragraph or two about the job. You might not know much but try and find a connection. Like if it's a bank, talk about how you'd like to know more about how money moves over the modern global infrastructure, or if it's some service you've used, talk about how it was helpful. If it's hard to find a connection, then you can say I've got some relevant skills, but I don't know much about your industry and I'd like to learn more.
Live in a rich country. Be wealthy. Don’t live too near the equator or too close to the sea. Live in an area with plentiful water and know how to purify it. Diversify your investments.

https://algora.io/bounties/new creating bounties on other people's repositories is super neat indeed! however it's also tricky and we didn't get it right the first time.

these 'community bounties' are now by default shared privately with the maintainers only, and maintainers can decide to complete the bounties themselves, share them with the contributors, or discard them. That way community bounties are never intrusive to maintainers' time, roadmap & governance while also acting as a sponsorship if accepted

I like how bounties added by different people get pooled on the same issue!
It’s not very bad. Detectable signals is not at all equivalent to interference.

The unreasonable effectiveness of transformer attention outweighs a lot of the downsides of limited context length for many applications.
That doesn’t mean they have chargers that meet the wattage and port needs of newer phones. I still use an iPhone XS Max, which uses a 5 watt usb a charger. If I upgrade to an iPhone 15 I will need to get an usb a to c cable and the phone will take forever to charge. I don’t even know if that wattage is enough to charge the phone while it’s on, especially with the pro models.

Or they could just include a 20 watt usb c charger with my $800-1200+tax and activation fees phone and not force me to spend another $60 on their power adapter. though to be fair a third party option would certainly be less expensive.
You could buy a USB enclosure for an M.2 NVMe SSD - a bit bulkier but still portable and addresses your concerns.
> Think about where your food comes from, and how it is fertilised.

I would add: start growing your own food. You don't have to grow all your own food; you can start small. It's easy, anyone can do it, and you don't need much space to get started - you can even grow some things indoors if you don't have a garden.

I only grow a fairly small amount of my own food but it's been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done, and it's completely changed my relationship with food and the way I see nature. The post-carbon future can only be a future in which far more people take a closer interest in food production.
It's frustrating that I can't know for certain who's going to win the 2024 election, but that doesn't mean I'd be justified in making a prediction based on a magic 8 ball.

AI detectors don't work.

If there aren't any other tools and methods that do detect AI, that genuinely stinks, it's a difficult problem. I definitely sympathize. But all the sympathizing in the world won't change the fact that AI detectors don't work. There are lots of unsolved problems in the world, and they don't justify putting weight behind non-solutions.

I don't know how to cure Alzheimer's disease, but I know that a TV healer can't cure it, and if doctors started prescribing TV healers it would be medical malpractice. Similarly, I don't know how to tell if an essay was AI written... but neither do the AI detectors, and it is unethical for professors to rely on them to make decisions about plagiarism.

When you have an unsolved problem and someone proposes a bad solution with bad consequences, what you end up with is the same unsolved problem, still unsolved, plus a newly created additional problem on top of it from your bad solution. You started with the problem of rampant plagiarism and cheating, now you have both a problem with rampant plagiarism and cheating, and a new problem with making baseless accusations of cheating against potentially honest students with no real evidence.
And get up and go types are obviously taller since they have a tendency to get up.
