Of course its horrible. Non-round steering wheels have been tried in concept cars since the 60s, and in more than a few production cars. They were all flops. Its up there will gullwing doors and automatic seatbelts: everyone knows they are possible, but clearly not wanted by the market. Despite this, every few years some designer tries again, most likely just after the last designer to pitch the idea retires.

It's so weird that Nintendo can be forward thinking enough to do something like the Disk System and its successors but fail so hard when it comes to the internet and online distribution.

Maybe they accept the bs snake oil sponsorships because they need the money and assume their audience is smart enough to not get tricked.
Yeah, sounds like that company's wifi on their chargers has this SSID. I hope they're not relying on a 'secret' SSID as the sole security mechanism, assuming it to be safe because nobody can enter it manually since it's not ASCII characters.
How is this project compared to supervisord feature wise?
A prompt engineering technique. It increases accuracy along many domains.
It’s a chain of thought prompt. You literally just tell the LLM to model solve a problem or answer a question by breaking it down into smaller, manageable steps (“think step by step”).

How is that even remotely in the same league?
I have five kids and I am not in the slightest worried about the planet. It will be here and we will adapt if needed. I am much more worried about the elites stamping out our God given freedom and subjugating us to be told what to do by "experts" because we are just ignorant and don't know what's best for ourselves. No thank you.
Musk was sharing some comments on twitter, praising its sarcasm. But isn't this type of trickery what AI protections should guard against?
Can someone far more involved in the research than me comment on the validity of this research and how this compares to other viruses and infections? As far as I understand, basically all infections cause a degree of impairment to energy production. Oxidative stress, which is induced directly and indirectly during infection, has a downregulating effect on energy production as to not result in the body potentiating the negative consequences of runaway stress to the cells. This is due to energy production directly producing reactive oxygen species as a natural waste product.

I thought this was a fantastic accomplishment of both 3d modeling & “explainer” production.

I'm a big fan of both, but using a Robert Heinlein word to name something you say is based on a Douglas Adams idea is weird.

My email is old, pre 2000, I got my own email server, and got about 50000 spam emails daily. About 500 goes beyond retry¹, IP ban and reverse DNS check, and rspamd let about 10 through daily.

I am not saying obfuscation is useless, just that email filtering works quite well.

¹: retry is to refuse emails from unknown servers by default and force them to retry later with 451 error.
In general, the goal of labor is to enrich the society you live in. Whether it’s capitalism or socialism, the theory is the same: the richer your society, the happier you’ll be, even if you’re poor. Objectively, the poorest in America live far better than the poorest in poor countries.

Then there is the harm argument. What is the harm to authors of letting AI models do this? Models aren’t replacing authors any time soon. And even if they were, you won’t be able to stop it; precisely zero times in history have people stood against a wave of new technology. Technology wins 10 out of 10 times in the long run.

I am skeptical that authors deserve anything for merely having a transformative use of their work. But I’m also sympathetic. The key is for authors to get a slice of the actual market value. Right now authors are shutting everyone down merely for using their work at all, with no consideration of whether anyone is even profiting.

Yet even when authors deserve a cent, how do you decide which authors get how many cents? Do all profits go to copyright holders, as with YouTube? Then there’s no room to run a service. Is half fair? Before or after company expenses? And whatever is allocated, is it distributed evenly among all 100,000 authors, whether they’re Stephen King or just an enthusiastic contributor to AO3? $1M in profits distributed to 100,000 authors is a whopping $10 per author. That’ll buy them a Happy Meal and fries. It’s far more lucrative to make up imaginary damages and sue them in court.

It’s immensely complicated, and it’s not at all clear that it’s evil or even exploitative to train AI models on other people’s work.
Turns out the bowl is relatively easy to replace via the Zojirushi website as well. I've done it twice and even contacted them once to ask if they had any in stock. They responded in a day and then updated their web store inventory.
We have to do both, and also something about phone usage since a lot of drivers are roughly in DUI territory now.

The problem is that driving instead of walking/cycling/transit and especially big vehicles have been a status symbol for many decades and so most of the political class and DOT leaders identify as drivers, and are loathe to make changes which might personally slow themselves down.
No paper and not open source (yet?). I wonder how this is compatible with the lofty goals of furthering research and 'maximally benefit all of humanity'.
Lol, I figured but given that it was like $800 I figured maybe it had to be doing something, even though I knew I'm falling for some marketing gimmick I had hope!
haven’t seen this take in a while

over summer I met a woman that had just come out of her prepper bunker

all she could talk about was her discontent with big pharma and guided plans from billionaires, although not a fan of vaccines she was a fan of the personal responsibility approach of staying away from all of us enlightened and possibly infected (or vaccinated) rubes, that’s always a choice! too bad she was running out of money 3 years later and had to get a job. I met her at her job and asked her out successfully, our date was the same day where I learned this is all she reads about on the internet

it was so funny, didnt expect to see that in 2023
Even in the continuous case, there are nowhere-differentiable continuous functions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass_function where attempting to use back-propagation is unlikely to go well.

The paper only gives an existence result for the general case, and may require an arbitrarily complex activation function to represent arbitrarily complex multivariate functions, so it's unlikely to be useful for machine-learning applications.
Been using FreeTube daily for the last few years. They stay on top of it.
In my experience, ChatGPT struggles with accuracy when handling binary operations (maybe due to the way it processes tokens?) so maybe I should change my e-mail on the about page to some long form binary multiplication encoding ascii
More like, you get in your car for work. Facial recognition has mistaken you for someone shop lifting at a cashless, humanness convenient store (where you walk out and are charged).

So your car locks you in and drives you to the nearest police station. You pull up and a robot comes to the window, doors unlock, it tells you to step out with your hands up.

A drone then pops out and circles you three times, scanning for weapons using x-rays if some kind.

After that the robot tells you to follow and you walk into the police station.

In the police station, the robot brings you to a room. You sit. Robot leaves and door locks behind. Then a screen pops up out of the table and you see a remote meeting with a corrections officer…
I'm always skeptical of these types of things without a few decades of review. "It's safe" just means the cancer it causes take 30 years to be realized.
That has happened already in some cases. The cops just have to know the right number to call.
Look into a Mazda for your next car. I find that they tune their steering more on the heavy/connected side. I’m not sure if that’s still the case but they’re definitely still a brand with attention to detail to the driver experience.

They even disable the touch screen while the car is moving. They seem to “get it” if you ask me. They’re not blindly following trends like throwing climate controls into the screen.
Unfortunately not in your position, but know some people who are. They have found it rewarding to do angle investing. There are some really interesting start ups out there and you can pick choose to find the ones that have PMF and are about to start to scale up - which is where you can probably add the most value from your own experience.

Be aware that you will have to kiss a lot of frogs.
A number of people have replied to me arguing that by some measure the author's claim that they're the last "pre-internet" generation is true. Some magical cutoff of saturation, whether YouTube was popular yet, smartphones, etc. The sort of qualifications that mean that every year is the new "real Internet" and everything before was just a fun and games toy and didn't really count.

One of my children, born well into the 2000s, claimed exactly the same thing: They remember when you couldn't do classes online and the pre-TikTok era, etc. They remember back when people would rail about vertical videos. It goes on and on. "Kids these days". Etc.
That one should be a configuration option. Most British publishers (I think) use -ise, but some use -ize, and no publisher would be happy with a paragraph in which both spellings are used (unless they are in quotations in an academic text).
The billionaire class will own all the self-driving EVs and sell rides to the diminishing remnants of the middle class.

The growing masses of 'the poor' (formerly 'the working class') will have no transport, no jobs, and no hope. What wasn't taken from them by automation and AI will be taken by mostly-futile attempts to fix the climate.

> how does libgen monetize

The original LibGen, under anonymous and altruistic founder bookwarrior, did not aim to monetize but was built purely on volunteer effort. Some of the LibGen domains, however, are forks that put up advertisements.
Very useful for identifying files that may need to get deduplicate or that can be removed entirely. Unfortunately, I don't think this will also find identical directories.

If deleting files isn't what you want, I'd suggest looking into deduplicating tools.

ZFS has its own de duplicator built in, which is nice. It should just deduplicate files and individual extents of files by itself once you enable it. Probably not a good idea on very write-heavy disks, but it's an option.

Other file systems with extent level deduplication can use https://github.com/markfasheh/duperemove to not only deduplicaye files, but also deduplicate individual extents. This can be very useful for file systems that store a lot of duplicate content, like different WINE prefixes. For filesystems without extent deduplication, duperemove should try hard linking files to make them take up practically no disks space.

I haven't experienced any file write delays, have you filed a ticket against the project?

My guess is you're talking about an in-container write with a host system read.

My CI pipelines do this many times a day for code coverage and test results outputs. Those files are tiny though, so I wonder if it has to do with larger file sizes, or perhaps something external to your configuration like samba mounts that isn't playing well with qemus virtual network interface.

We even have words for the halfway phases between new moon and full moon: first quarter and last quarter. The 7 day week is not directly derived from natural cycles (unlike the month and year lengths), but the moon phases are convenient synchronization points for (approximately) 7 day cycles.
I don't buy this. LLMs are basically just fancy text completion based on training data. "Binary data from a proprietary industrial machine" sounds like the furthest possible thing that could have been in the training data. How can you possibly trust its output if it's not something it's ever seen before?
Linux 6.7 Introduces "Make Hardening.config" to Help Build a Hardened Kernel
I suspect the reason that Tesla has retained a 12v system is because the automotive grade parts largely dont exist at anything other than 12v. Even when the big three were making stuff for the military with a 24v system, it was a hybrid 24v/12v system.

Had been trained on Twitter Data.

Ok. I still have 160k sms from the old decade. It would make a perfect trainingset that will outperform xAi with decent lol, no and OMG answers. If well trained, of course.

(Funny-mode off)

Let's see. Twitter has a few things that may be very very good for training. A short message for training may be even better. Because, the shorter it is, the less information to understand will be given, the more of an abstraction needs to be done.
Let's see what happens.
I'm surprised there's no way to say 'I really mean it, inline this function' for the stuff that didn't inline because it was too big.

The baseline whitespace count/search operation seems like it would be MUCH faster if you vectorized it with SIMD, but I can understand that being out of scope for the author.
I suppose Volvo SUVs are maybe not at the sharp end of this complaint. They aren't obnoxiously oversized. I realized that when I saw an obnoxiously oversized American urban pick up truck.

XC90 ain't small but ferries 7 people, there are plenty of larger SUVs that carry less inside.
There are negative impacts other than death - especially in the United States where medical care is triple the cost of the rest of the world and we have very limited provisions for long term care or disability support. Drivers routinely make a right turn on red at 20+mph in most American cities and while trauma care is efficient enough that you probably won’t die, there’s a good chance it’ll have life-altering consequences.
Yeah that makes sense of course. Should have specified "special function", was aiming at "algebraic" or "polynomial" I guess.

Then the answer seems to be no, right?

There’s no details here about training, evaluation, reproducibility or even architecture.

OpenAI’s GPT4 tech report was a marketing press release in disguise; I felt it represented a huge step down for the field in terms of academic rigour. But this model card epitomizes the end conclusion of LLM commoditization: no attempt to quantify limitations or weaknesses, portraying model biases and hateful/hallucinatory output as a feature rather than a bug, all wrapped up in breathless language of wanting to “maximally benefit humanity” while hiding the model behind a secretive waitlist or a $16 Twitter premium subscription plan.

What a boring release, to be honest.

Sunset isn't arbitrary, Its defined as the time the sun transitions below the horizon of your location. Its time varies based on where you are on earth and where the earth is in relation to the sun, but its not arbitrary.
You prefer death to the chaos of life?
I believe people who are working professionals and have busy lives are particularly susceptible since they often graze news and prefer things that confirm and entrench their worldview because it's ego affirming.

They have the critical thinking skills but lack the desire to use them in some circumstances.

There are other people who lack education who also lack critical thinking motivation and all variations of this matrix. I'm just saying it's a huge mistake to assume intelligent, educated people are somehow immune from propaganda.
GrapheneOS did not meet my needs for sovereign control of my own device, and iOS is worse in this regard, so I gave up cell phones entirely 2 years ago. Turns out they are not as necessary as we convince ourselves they are.
It's very naive to think that "debunking" propaganda, or anything really, disarms its effectiveness.
Mostly it's the sliding doors. My idiot children love to fling car doors open. I'm sure there's a European minivan equivalent that's teensy weensy but is considered too posh
Exactly, it's not too hard to implement in C. The one I made never copied data, instead saved the pointer/length to the data.
The user only had to Memory Map the file (or equivalent), pass that data into the parse.
Only memory allocation was for the Jason nodes.

This way they only paid the parsing tax (decoding doubles, etc..) if the user used that data.

You hit the nail on the head
The article mentions supervision once and “blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization” about half a dozen times. Is the idea to just have some bearucracy around ISPs, then? It really isn't clear what the point is.
Hallucinating what questions to ask is far easier than answering correctly and definitively in my opinion.
There are also safety concerns. Any emergency responder cutting into a crashed car isnt going to be killed by 12v, nor are sparks from shorts likely to start fires before a fuse blows.
This is pretty huge considering what it will have behind it. Namely a lot of Tesla's proprietary AI hardware and software.

Consider how good Elon is at pulling in talent and reducing complexity. Very exciting stuff.
When the virus is made by the previous cell, as the virus is assembled, it is assembled into what is called a "metastable" state. This is a low, but not lowest energy state, or energy well. Typically the lowest possible energy state requires some additional input of energy to reach (it has to get over a small hump to find the deepest well). That energy often comes from an interaction with a new host.
I hope somebody told them that Russians (having a life) do not watch or read propaganda all day long so the window of interaction is actually quite narrow...

That can invalidate a lot of assumptions.
Where Do Unicorns Come From?
At this point, there are very, very few new toxic products like this that are actually necessary. TBT was only in use for 40 years, ending in about 1980. I'm sure whatever paint naval vessels used during the run-up to WWII is still good enough for most use cases today.

Similarly, I can't figure out why today's paper straws are soaked in PFAS instead of being coated in food-grade wax, as they were during the ~ 80 years before plastic straws were invented. Wax coated paper straws suck, but then, so do pfas coated paper straws, so that's not the reason.
