Addendum: My first attempt would drift over time, if the receiver was slow.

Hurt my head a little, but it's fixed now, and I'm at least moderately confident it's correct - unit tested the behavior step by step using `ts-chan`, actually. Will probably use that test as another example use case.
I'm unsure as to how that disagrees with what I said.
At a park nearby, there's a sign that lists some benefits of different activities. One of them refers to the jungle gym part as "brachiating," a word I hadn't heard before but in my opinion is perfectly cromulent.
No, because of physics you lose more power the longer distance it travels. It is also very expensive and difficult to build a network that can move power great distances to where it's needed given how dense the areas that need it are (major cities).
Because some of the best math libraries are written in Fortran. Seriously lots of heavy duty scientific code was written in Fortran in the 1970s and is still underpinning applications today. In many cases there is no equivalent alternative.
summary is that GPT4 struggles similarly to other large context models, stuff in the middle gets lost, so it doesn't seem like OpenAI has any secret sauce to fix this problem at the moment.

other main points:

- Performance starts dropping significantly after 73K tokens

- performance was worst at 7-50% of document depth

- Information at the beginning of the prompt was recalled regardless of context length

(A) what is it actually asking though. Paraphrasing doesn't help here. Is it asking about changing the default? Is it asking if you want to run it?

(B) google has a notorious history of pushing people to install chrome from their other properties, and it seems
plausible that chrome is in fact the latest iteration of user-installed malware that a reasonable number of people install without really knowing why.
Sorry to disappoint you but you're thinking like a Hillary fanboy, not an anthropologist. Democrats had better options available that'd have beaten Trump but people like you decided that Hillary was supposed to be the next president. Not many opponents would be so good at electing Trump.
OneDrive has appeared in W10 under Settings > Apps & Features in the general list of installed programs for quite some time now.

For W11 the list is at Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.

Up until fairly recently in this list, OneDrive was one of the ones (like Edge) where the Uninstall button was greyed out even for administrative users.

To get rid of it required more extensive hacking than casual users would be expected to do.

In the latest Windows versions the Uninstall button for OneDrive is finally functional, but when you do uninstall it takes quite some time before there is any visible response to confirm your action. Unlike other items on the list which uninstall quite rapidly.

For W10 you click the entire banner of an App to get the Uninstall submenu, but for W11 the whole banner is no longer active and you click the 3-dot ellipsis "trail of poop" icon instead.

Regardless whether an app on the list is that directly uninstallable or not, you might still benefit from hitting the submenu on every single app to access its Advancd Options selection where you can then disable the app's ability to run in the background. Especially for apps which are absolutely no use to you at all, if you can't directly uninstall, at least inhibit the uselessness to the extent within reach.

> From the business perspective his veto makes absolute sense. But it’s was to point fingers at him as if he is the boogeyman.

I guess that's one of your jobs as the CEO. The buck stops here and all that.
When judges do their job, you the accused have due process and legal representation.

I specified my issue (aspergers) for a reason. I would need legal and competent representation if I were accused of something.

We know from people that have actually consented to be in the public sphere (politicians, performers, etc) that even denying an accusation against you still leaves you a pariah with the scarlet letter, to be ostracized in some cases.

Smearing and destroying a person extra-judicially with no "burden of proof" to convict isn't something I'm okay with.

If there is legitimate wrongdoing of some kind, an investigation, carried out by the designated representatives (police, detectives, prosecutors) who are paid by our tax dollars and not by advertisers or the wealthy is what's preferable and actually representative.

> all first-world countries stopped producing so many things to consume and returned to simpler lifestyles, then there would be much less "development" in developing nations.

When you say simpler lifestyles you mean higher infant mortality, poor sanitation, dirt roads, and all those other ills from poverty. Yes people living in the tropics also want AC, so do we.

This isn’t about people in Bangladesh/US wanting an iPhone or designer clothing. Electronics barely move the CO2 needle, it’s things we take for granted like clean drinking water that takes massive infrastructure and tons of concrete.

But if you're a third world country trying to improve your quality of life fossil fuel is the most accessible. Until rich countries make other options cheaper and readily available.

Solar has made incredible strides but not sufficiently enough to replace fossil fuels. Civilian nuclear has been demonized and is not easily accessible.

I fail to see how we can reduce fossil fuel increase throughout the world without viable alternatives.
Real estate sales is an industry rife with anti-competitive and corrupt practices. Appraisals, home inspections, lending, and sales are all in it together on this. I absolutely loathe them.
It's supposed to work perfectly. That was easy. Next?

But in all seriousness, age verification will soon be a legal reality. It's only "hard" because it's optional. When the government makes it required, they'll also have to make it possible - or those laws won't stand up in court. It'll probably require government issued digital IDs and MFA hardware.
Can't say I didn't see this coming... Omegle today is very different than historically. I remember when I was much younger I would find a bot or a person just looking for sexting maybe once in 5. Now it seems that the genuine "wanna make a friend" people are 1-100. It is wild how it turned into just a horny site, and it makes me sad that it never had the opportunity for a resurgence.

Precisely. Yugoslavia had plenty of commercial places planned. So much so that even today many of these commercial spaces remain empty. A good example of what I mean is 'New Belgrade' in Belgrade and 'Split 3' in Split.
TikTok is extremely commercialized; even a lot of the "good" content is extremely carefully crafted part of the acquisition funnel for commercial activities.

I'm not knocking people liking it -- its like people liking SuperBowl ads; just because something is the very much marketing content doesn't mean its not fun and entertaining. But, the idea that becoming "quite commercialized" is a potential way it might go downhill in the future seems to miss that it is very much already there.

Eh, everyone has a price. The question is just how much.

You pretend that your price is zero or an epsilon away from that. I don't believe that. I don't think you would pick a job offer from a more 'evil' company, if they offered a hundred bucks more.

(I can believe that your price is pretty low compared to other people. But I don't think it's zero.)
The reporter, Joe Tidy, isn't virtue signaling. He is an honest zealot full of righteous fury. He is 100% confident he's right, just like those who killed heretics during crusades a couple thousand years ago, burned witches a few hundred years ago, or exterminated capitalists as part of Cambodian Khmer Rouge a few decades ago.
The journey of those episodes is really inspiring. Practising in that environment he pushes the boundaries of so many areas of human achievement in one, and once he's better than anyone else in the world (maybe half way through the series) he then starts surpassing himself faster and faster.

> people who are very good at making money make stupid investments?

Just because someone makes a lot of money doesn't mean they are intelligent or did so upon their own virtue. And it doesn't necessarily mean they're good at investments and capital allocation.

>> it is not improved by allowing private investment

> wow. Maybe we shouldn't allow things like inventing semiconductors, jet engines, television, etc.

An incredibly sizable portion of technological development in the U.S. in the past 100 years is due to government (i.e., public) funding, not private funding.
You can't have 100% test coverage with these kinds of bugs, because these bugs create unreachable expressions.

You can either find out you have these bugs from lint errors or you can find out by finding them in code coverage reports while chasing 100% code coverage. Most people would obviously prefer the former.
At one point I was doing support calls for a small regional ISP, and a customer called in about some alt.binaries. group with bestiality in the name.

Am I correct in understanding that LoRA is basically a way to cheaply create “delta” LLMs that apply onto the main large one to create a specialization? In other words, this would obviate all the vector DB stuff that people are doing right?
Julia, for example promises that seeded random numbers will only be the same within the minor version and there's a 3rd party package if you need reproducible random numbers. Guaranteeing cross version random number compatibility comes at a pretty major cost for performance (as new better algorithms are discovered) and removes your ability to bugfix the random number generator.
I also would like things that I personally do not use, to be shut down.
The article asks a fair question. The comments here raise fair points. At the end though, all of this activity is nothing else than doing philosophy.

Because what else would it be?

The article is a critique of some aspects of contemporary philosophy. Like many others did before (greeks). It can't be a dismissal of doing philosophy itself. Because asking about the worth of philosophy is a philosophical question.

That doesn't need to happen for the Charlatan Group to struggle. Most current hardware companies are dependent on the customer to renew their hardware every 5 years.
On the contrary: I think you actually make a good argument for why we SHOULD have a Department of Butt Wiping with tenured professors who have spent their whole life time studying techniques of butt wiping.

If everyone does it (and often multiple times a day to boot) then there's actual material improvements to the human condition that could be identified and implemented. That improvement requires study, rigor, and people who stand to materially benefit for conducting that study. You'd generally end up in a university-like framework for that study (even private research is structured similar to university research, with some key differences).
I had it pegged as the NSA trying to convince a planetful of monkeys to build an index into sha256 hash space so that it could better spy on those monkeys, but I like your version much more.

Climate change: rockets pollute less than planes with less harmful impurities (rocket propellant is heavily refined) while also allowing us to launch satellites that can help us study climate change, also helping farmers be more aware of their land through satellite monitoring. Also, some rockets use Hydrogen and Oxygen - waste is H2O. Modern rockets are starting to use Methane and Oxygen - while still polluting, it is still much less than the impure kerosene used by planes.

Species decimation: Satellite imagery has been used to expose illegal farming, mining, etc. operations that would have been otherwise undetected for a long time. Yay biodiversity!

Destruction of communities: Idk man I feel like Starlink is helping communities a lot by providing cheap and fast shared internet to communities that wouldn't otherwise have the technology.

It's not just my comforts that I'm thinking about. Rockets while individually may be seen as useless, just like AI, are a platform where a lot of overwhelmingly positive projects could stem from.

The critiques you mentioned could be applied to mobile phones. I doubt you would actually agree phones have no place in society - it's not just comforts that are a positive.
Honestly, 1994-1996ish web was in some ways worse -- yes, there was horrible stuff on Usenet, but you could avoid the worst of the text stuff pretty easily, and to be assaulted by any media other than text you had to expend at least a little effort.

In the early web, you were just a poorly chosen search term and click away from some truly awful media.
That seems nuts to me. It's just a generic venue for people meeting people, like a cafe that happens to be online.

To me that makes as much sense as suing a cafe because you met somebody there who talked you into illegal activities.
PoE is awesome, I've been using it for years but it still feels like the future when I plug in a device and it boots up with power+data.

> Where you looked at what people did with The Web 2.0 and only marveled at the possibilities of what could come. Truly feels like the death of one of the old guard, a Usenet-of-the-2010s.

This is funny to me, because I am old enough to remember when web 2.0 was new, and people were nostalgic for 'web 1.0'. (And, of course, it's turtles all the way down with nostalgia.)
> If all first-world countries stopped producing so many things to consume and returned to simpler lifestyles, then there would be much less "development" in developing nations.

And there would be much more poverty, disease, and death. Not to mention that we wouldn't be able to have this conversation since the medium in which we are having it requires an industrial, technological society, which "simpler lifestyles" can't support.
The OP article cites "funious" math.

How much of that economy actually matters? Who benefits from the transfer of products/services here? It's not the end users for the most part. Some people are able to benefit from it, but is that a large segment of any population? And is that something that we really feel is a necessary market?

I think we need to be able to take a look at ourselves and evaluate what's chaff as tech evolves.
> I can't imagine it cost all that much to build.

The government builds these bridges, do you still think that means they can't cost all that much?

The point is, excess and overkill isn't an investment. It's an expense. It's a waste.

The money could be spent elsewhere. I can't imagine why that's a bad thing to do.

The sync protocol does indeed calculate the delta between peers and efficiently catches both sides up.

The backends you see are the ones I use, but the API is a binary blob key value store with range queries: supporting other stores should be straightforward.

Authentication isn’t exactly left as an exercise to the reader but is an area of active work. I would say securing access to a URL via whatever mechanism you’re used to should be fine for client server applications and peer to peer folk seem to mostly have their own ideas.
>Grandmasters do not make an illegal move every 300 moves.

Sure. Point is that even the best players will make an illegal move (even if rarely) so a computer that makes an illegal move is not grounds for "does not understand chess" just because it doesn't always make a legal move.

He says, "The fact that it’s making illegal moves at all should tell you something." He is literally making the assertion that a single instance of an illegal move means you don't understanding how to play the game. This is trivially proven false.

>If an 1800 elo human did that, we would find the behavior to be odd and we would question how they learned to play and what their decision-making process was when making moves.

Yes because humans usually learn the rules first then play. If a human learnt chess from watching games, i would not find this behavior odd at all. In fact, i would expect it. Just because you've never seen a move played before does not mean the move is illegal.

Moreover, odd as it may be, I still wouldn't call it "struggling to make a legal move".

>"Thing happening commonly in scenario X can also rarely happen in scenario Y, therefore both scenarios are exactly the same" is one of the more annoyingly reductive arguments to have come out of recent AI discussions.

That wasn't the argument i was making.

Is this a serious question? Not everyone with an internet connection ever got on Omeagle, even once.

Of the people that went to Omeagle, the odds of this kind of thing happening are clearly astronomically low - it’s been there for over a decade, internationally known, and my guess is only a handful of these types of things have likely happened.

Old school AOL chat rooms were clearly more dangerous. And were consistently implicated in all sorts of nefarious child trafficking operations.
Deserts don't tend to have much water, so where do you expect to get the hydrogen from? Getting water to the desert takes a pile of energy as it is, and typically once it gets there people want to turn it into plants.
Good point. People often forget that the quality of life we have today comes from energy consumption and technological innovation. It all started with fire...
The main difference now is there is an actual standard rather than a de facto tool that becomes the standard.

The idea is that different tools may rise and fall in popularity but they should all be following the standard so the compatability breaks should be minimal.

Will it work? No idea, but it's the best attempt to make things work well for everyone yet.

Python 3.12 might be the biggest churn moment, but there are probably a few more down the road, such as dropping legacy version specifiers.
