Different disciplines began regularly posting their papers to the arXiv at different times. The order was (very) roughly

High-energy theory ~1992

Other physics theory ~1994

Physics experiment ~1996

Math ~2000

CS ~2008

Some disciplines flipped nearly overnight, while others took several years of slow growth before posting to the arXiv become the default.
> Sure, but "working code" written in C is declining

Perhaps it’s just not increasing much since the value is in percentage and overall code size has increased dramatically.

I doubt they will rewrite Mach/XNU, for example, in the foreseeable future.
AI is a pretty recent and small part of the fields that use arxiv as a preprint server.
Right, but that ignores the key piece, which is whether such systems can infer the equivalence relation denoted by "is". A is A. A is B implies B is A. A is B and B is C implies A is C. When a system sees that A is B, yet cannot infer that B is A, it exhibits an asymmetry, which is interesting. Whether this asymmetry exists in the underlying language is unclear.
We bought a DVD player and a couple high quality DVDs. Seemed rather silly to pay for a year of nothing just to watch reruns. Kids are happy, and now we get to show them higher quality shows.
Today, with modern search and computerized tools, one of the primary heuristics I use for determining which preprints to read is "do I know any of the authors". If I don't know you, your ideas are most likely not worth reading, even if they appear to be about a topic I'm interested in. There are so many papers published every year and so little time to read them properly, and the search tools that exist are not that good. If you don't have an established reputation, your best bet is submitting your work to a relevant journal or conference, where the peer reviewers will usually give you a fair chance.

Google Scholar is a good example of how bad the tools are. Its recommendations are apparently based on things like the papers you publish, the papers you cite, and the papers that cite your work, which sounds superficially reasonable. That worked well enough when I was doing my PhD within the boundaries of an established academic field. But when I started doing more interdisciplinary work, the recommendations quickly turned into garbage. A better recommendation system would understand that there is a field I work in, an upstream field I take ideas from, a downstream field I contribute to, and several fields further downstream that use the work I contributed to.
That's a tautological statement.

Excess of anything is harmful by definition (otherwise it is not in excess).

The only question is how much is too much.
Thanks, thats awesome. Would you say vLLM on one GPU is as fast or faster than llama.cpp? have you tried mlc-llm?
To buy the home my grandparents bought in 1968 for $30k ($265k in 2023) in San Jose, CA would require an income of about $12k then ($90k in 2023). Today, with a value of $2.2m, that would require an income of about $800k.

Primarily, the only buyers in this hyperlocal market are rich people who move money from overseas because locals cannot afford it. Occasionally, there are the lucky few who survived and exited a startup or inherited wealth dot the landscape.
Yea of course it's false if you ignore the "Palestinians say"... That's why it's there
They should probably focus on rebranding next.
To be fair, the M72 was originally built as a light anti-armor weapon but many other versions of it have since been developed. Particularly anti-structure rockets with fragmentation warheads.
Yes, but it causes cancer and chronic disease on a massive scale. I am a farmer who provides most of my family's food and has been for a looong time. I am shocked that you literally just claimed that roundup allows for better soil health. Roundup literally kills the soil over the long term.
No it does 82k median family of four. What is so difficult for

They might even be aware due to billboards and stuff, but not bothered enough to find the settings.

This might even be the year of DDG on the Desktop! Well, the next year, or whenever the lawsuit and appeals conclude.
>wannabe right-wing dictator's

Don't kid yourself that ideology is a protection. Who turns the key of the turnkey facist state is still an open question. Probably less resistance if you /claim/ to be fighting the extreme right at the moment. May well flip and be done by the /claim/ of fighting commnunism.

Stand on principle. Always. Especially in favour of those you loathe. Ignore the politics surrounding the principle if you really don't want a dictatorship. Sadly you can fully expect to be accused of being a supporter of Saddam, Assad, Gaddafi, Putin, Hamas, paedophile rings, organised crime and in general everything evil when you do the principled right thing.

There are some really profound misunderstandings of how bankruptcy and credit work in this thread.

Creditors are ranked by seniority and get paid out in order by seniority. Equity is below every creditor and has been completely wiped out. Companies are not allowed to take cash or sell the furniture to pay out employees. That money is legally owed to creditors and attempting to stiff them is theft. I'm sorry to those affected at Convoy, but that is the reality of working at a startup that goes through a hasty liquidation. Convoy is not being "cheap" about this, as some are suggesting. Any "retention bonuses" are to keep executives around for long enough to unwind the company in an orderly fashion. Nobody is getting rich off failure; if everyone were to walk away there'd be nothing left and therefore nothing to recover and distribute. It's bad for everyone, but the alternative is worse.

As for the larger situation: Convoy were a digital freight brokerage. They acted as intermediaries between shippers and carriers and make money on the spread between the two. They got into trouble because the entire freight sector has been suffering a double whammy of cost increases due to inflation (ie. diesel costs) and a slowdown in demand. This has caused a number of carriers and brokerages to go bust. Freight brokerage has some other properties that make Convoy's situation particularly serious. In particular, carriers typically securitize their accounts receivable. In freight, this is known as "factoring." Convoy got stuck holding the bag after their partner carriers went under, having already paid them for their service, but still waiting for payment from the shipper.

Worst of all, Convoy had no exits because their only potential acquirers are in the same industry and are also getting completely crushed.
Were there any improvements in distancing generated images from the training set? I'd like to use AI images commercially, but I'm always afraid of some person claiming that the image looks just like their work.

Edit: I see they tried to make sure the image doesn't look like the "style of living artists", and added the option of people to opt-out their images from the training set. Progress, but is this enough? I don't think so.
Go developer here. I'm pretty content with the state of error handling.
This was announced back in June 2023 - https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/06/apple-previews-new-fe...
I'd say around 10 also. For the past year, my 3 year old wanted to watch the same episode over and over and my 10 year old tried to talk her into whatever the new episode was.
My favorite start up, with regard to cashflow, was where the CEO would tell us at every company meeting how many months of cash we had in the bank at our current burn. They pissed me off in other ways, though, and I never heard how they treated people when they finally shut their doors.

Yes, this happened a while back. I already archived the whole set. It is about 1.25 TB.
You are not “owed” X amount of pay after you lose your job. Maybe you will get it. Maybe you can negotiate it in your employment agreement. But getting paid your agreed rate for hours work isn’t “shafted”
I love Signal, but somehow they seem to have stopped developing the product. The last useful feature was being able to change number.
But other than that, things like MobileCoin or Stories show that there is no product vision.

There are many useful non-social network features that they can implement and test that would greatly improve its usefulness as secure p2p communication platform.
They just keep their maiden name for science and it seems to work fine?
This is not desirable to anyone who cares about the soil microbiota, and in turn their and their family's microbiome, gut health, long-term health. As always, there is an unbelievably high price to pay for human convenience.
Having a common idiom for common operations like error propagation is not "absurd and eyebrow-raising".

What sounds absurd to me is obscuring the actually interesting control flow significantly in favor of either showing the trivial control flow or alleviating the need to learn the one (1) single operator that represents said trivial control flow.
It is exactly "...a drag on Tesla both in terms of capital investment and a drain on the engineers time to iron out all the problems."

Tesla has effectively one product: Model Y, which is a variant of an existing model, the Model 3, introduced in 2017.

Cybertruck is the only new thing that had prospects of mass sales. The Semi is handmade in small quantities. No new Roadster, apparently. If anything were as far along as Cybertruck was a year ago, we would be awash in hype for it.

Tesla has a product pipeline issue. The reason that is important is that Tesla took EVs seriously when other car makers did not, which gave tesla a multi-year head start. But now some competitors like Hyundai/Kia have broad product lines and are bringing out second-generation prodcuts.

The book that much of this is based on, On The Clock, is very good and I'd recommend it.
Fast charging is relatively expensive. Cost per mile is close to filling up with gas.
Where I live, they charge 4x what I pay to charge at home.
Love these threads. I'm mid 30s, coding since young, full stack dev now. Lucky to do something I enjoy. That said, burnt out a couple of years ago, hopped a couple of jobs, but yet to find one that lets me love programming again. Too much BS. Trying to just treat it as a job and save my enthusiasm for personal projects to keep that fire alive, but I'd be lying if I said I don't routinely think about getting out. Always good to read accounts from the side of the fence where the grass is greener.

That's Toyota/Lexus and BMW now, right?

If so – and Musk is controversial and all – but wasn't this the original 'hump', vis-a-vis Tesla that we needed to get over in order to attain widespread EV adoption?
An M72 is single use, so if the robot falls over after firing it that isn't the end of the world. It can probably right itself and get back on its feet, then return to base for another rocket.

Still, I share your skepticism of these robot dogs. They seem like a solution looking for a problem.
If the company is actually shutting down (is it?) then no, the legal entity will not exist for much longer.

Clawback is one year for insiders, 90 days for all others [1]. We're describing something closer to simultaneity, where "the debtor enters into a severance agreement simultaneously with an employee’s termination" [2]. This is precedented for clawback, and would almost certainly be litigated given the number of employees involved.

TL; DR The moment you find the business insolvent, it belongs to your creditors. Many commenters are treating Convoy like a run-of-the-mill equity-funded start-up.

> No mention is made of creditors issuing lawsuits against rank and file employees

Most likely, the creditors would file an injunction and put the company into bankruptcy on the basis of management having essentially said that it’s insolvent.

> even for severance payments that were never in employment contracts, courts place them at/near the front of the line in bankruptcy proceedings

Closer to the middle [3]. With Toys ‘R’ Us, the creditors voluntarily provided the severance [4]. No court forced it. And it wasn’t provided by management or shareholders.

Some people are angry that arXiv which is probably the most important repository of science are getting public funding because big tech companies are using it to publish their work, and they should fund that from their deep buckets. Are you aware of the consequences of what you are suggesting?

If you are funding something, you have some authority over what you are funding. Directly or even indirectly (If you don't follow our suggestions, we might revisit our financial contribution). So you want to put the place that should be open and independent under the thump of corporations that does not always have the same goals as the benefit of the science and public interest?
That's interesting. Maybe this is the point, but observe that they are already leveraging the 'University of Pennsylvania' selection magic. Just because those students chose Penn State, for financial reasons or because they like the Nittany Lions, doesn't matter, the fact that they got into U of Penn means they are going to be more successful. If I were running admissions at a selective but middle tier College, I think I would immediately start training an ML model on the publicly available dataset but also historical datasets. Pretty soon I would be able to predict student future success with all kinds of interesting outliers that go beyond grades and SAT scores. I might find, for example, that inner city kids that create websites when they are 12 are extremely successful, or that kids who win the spelling bee when they are 9 go on to win at life. Who knows?
> It's the consequence of the food industry becoming hyperindustrialized in which uncommon ingredients and "off-cuts" no longer fit with the goal of pursuing economy of scale. Ultraprocessed food is efficient to produce and distribute and formulated to specifically target innate human cravings (high sugar/sodium/carb/fat) in ways that were not possible before.

Hyperindustrialization has done the exact opposite! The middle class can only afford prime rib and tenderloin because more than half the weight of the cow gets processed into gelatin, burgers, pet food, and stew meat (A friend and I split a whole cow from a local butcher but my stats are based on grass fed). The price of off cuts is entirely demand driven: i.e. flank cuts that are popular in Latin American cuisine are dirt cheap in New England but really expensive in California. Stuff like offal absolutely dominates pet food inputs.
SZ's local champion is BYD. It is clear that SZ has a lot of interest in BYD's success, and I bet those buses and I know that taxi fleet are all BYD. The same isn't true for other Chinese cities (who have their own local champions to support, seems like every tier 1 and tier 2 city in China makes cars: internal trade in China is weird).

EVs are definitely the future. But SZ's adoption is a bit biased, I wouldn't read too much into it.

It's a dangerous game producers are playing. Hollywood could burn to the ground right now and I'd be set for years with the content that's already on my hard drive, let alone what's out there on the internet. Keep not producing new content long enough and people are going to start noticing they don't need you to.
I'm sure a similar transition to "we" will happen when it turns out Starship is a space Spruce Goose.
I just want a complete list of what's available, alphabetically, and divided by broad genre.

But apparently these services assume everyone is too dumb to scroll through a long list and find things on their own.

So there's a landing page where the same titles appear in four different places on the same page, you have no idea what's available, items disappear without warning because of licensing issues, and the UI looks like something an intern designed.

Which is why I've been watching random niche user-made content on YouTube instead, and it's fresher, more relaxing, and usually more interesting.

Corporate streaming feels like so much effort for so little reward.
What would make this maximally useful is if an LLM with a ruleset would be available to parse and act on dynamic situations on pages.

For example, add to cart, if the LLM detect it's out of stock (a rule), then do some other action.

What's the possibility of LLM-reinforced, rules based branching logic like this being possible with your software in the future?
Once you see a detective show, you basically seen 80% of all detective shows. That's why it seems that there can be nothing to watch, because 80% is basically a rehash, just with different characters and slightly different plots.
Nuts. 5W of cooling might as well use a standard heat sink.
One such example:

In macOS 13, the system settings was rewritten to use SwiftUI instead of UIKit. I had a 2019 Intel MBP. Before the rewrite, it was super swift (sorry). After the rewrite it took almost a second to go from section to section.

Now I'm on an M2 machine so it's fast again. Congrats Apple.
Honestly, streaming easily wins when you consider the entire family can stream on any screen in the house and Disney DVDs are actually pretty expensive.
No; the fiduciary duty of the CEO/board is to the shareholders. If there is a chance to salvage continuity of operations and preserve the value of equity, that is what they will do, even if it means operating until cash runs out. It is a matter of basic incentives. As much as we'd love to do the "right thing" and pay weeks/months of severance for no work (I am a founder myself and would love to, in a perfect world), startup employees should know the risks of working at a high-risk venture and plan accordingly. The middle road here is to do a significant layoff with severance, but this isn't possible in every case. Additionally, a company-saving customer contract or funding round can fall apart at any moment. This is, unfortunately, just the nature of the business.

> Am I reading that correctly? For $50 you get ~1,000 transistors worth of die space, and it comes in a package?

That's correct, although it's $100: $50 for the space on the group-run chip and $50 for the physical stuff: the chip and the dev kit.

> Are there any other limitations?

Yes. Although, fewer and fewer with each next iteration.

> Full-custom analog design if you wanted?

For analog design, you would need to deal with https://efabless.com/ directly, pay $10k and get 100 QFN chips back with your design some time later.

You seem to not understand the vast amount of government funding that Tesla has benefited from. It is indeed "government intervention" -- just a different kind.
I've always heard that it is famous because it was stolen, and had lots of drama and global news cycles surrounding its eventual return and display. This is the first time I've heard of Sfumato let alone seen someone suggest a niche technique is the reason people are aware of the painting.

The only argument I can think of against this would be that it would maybe slightly discourage adding the verbose details and would generally decrease the quality of error messages slightly. That said, even so it's probably worth the trade.
The only thing I didn't like about the show is that if there was someone on it with an alternative viewpoint, Stewart would interrupt them and not let them tell their side. Instead of letting them finish and then explaining why he thinks they're wrong.
Tesla was coming under pressure from the government and may have wanted to get ahead of potential regulation. Opening up their network also allows access to federal funding.

Amazon does use non-bipedal robots in some FCs. Not sure what the current state of rollout is, but they are small robots that lift and carry entire shelves to where pickers work to pack boxes. The act of taking items and putting them in the packages still requires humans, and I would imagine they’re keen to automate that aspect. No idea if these bipedal robots are able to do that work though.
The Apple News subscription is basically what you are asking for.

The main problem is that it pays publishers by article view, so it still incentivizes clickbait.

I’d love an alternative where you choose N publications that each run their own feed. Payment would still be done by articles read, but the financial incentive would change to having a good feed instead of having good clickbait headlines.
The standard convention in citation is to follow the format:

FI, MI, Last. For instance, if an individual changes their last name from Davidson to Mitchell, the change would manifest as follows:

Suppose an author named Susan Thomas Davidson (S.T. Davidson) decides to change her last name, becoming Susan Thomas Mitchell. The citation would then be updated to (S.T. Mitchell).

This alteration retains the consistent impact as the last name, serving as the clear identifier, undergoes the change."
And it's going to be much harder to get the dust back out than with a traditional fan due to the tight tolerances and enclosed design.

Java is significantly better than Go.

You have the option to explicitly handle every error, not handle errors for certain methods, or bubble up errors to a single error handler or any combination thereof.
Rust is definitely a near-contemporary of Go that made the sum-type-and-pattern-matching choice, yes, though outside of that difference the focus of the languages is very different, so it might always be the right choice if Go was but for error handling ergonomics.
