Magic Pills Are Coming
In my opinion, the magic here is the `window.screen[XY]`, not the communication method, which could be anything.

As others have mentioned, you can do this with localStorage, websockets or even Cookies. The novelty is that each window knows its size and location (through `window.*`) and renders something interesting.

I was a bit surprised to see that the browser gives information of where the window is in the window manager as I would have guessed that to be privileged information and a potential security issue, but what do I know.
Thanks for mentioning that, I wasn't aware.

It helps explain some of the variation I see there.
They are removing the Xorg server, but not X entirely. They will continue to support X through Xwayland.
Good points. It would be a productive use of all of the time those trucks spend idling too, going into and out of ports and in freeway traffic. Seems like there are times and circumstances when directing excess diesel energy to the trailer battery could be reasonable.

For the record LLM are theoretically fully deterministic, but non-deterministic in practice. First, some randomness is deliberately set via 'temperature', and second some randomness comes from things like the order of floating point operations when you divide the model on your GPU(s) without being super careful about it.
The point you're missing is that in the OP article, Warner Bros doesn't own anything that's in the source code of the app they're DMCAing.

In other words, the hypothetical is about just lying the same way as the bigcorps do.

My favorite response so far:

Prompt: And what of the CRYPTO-CURRENCY?

Response:
CRYPTO-CURRENCY, a new Kind of Money, of which the first Species was called Bitcoin, and the second, Ethereum, and others since. These are not minted by Kings or Governments, but by private Persons, who have got them into Circulation by their own Authority, and call them Coins, because they are of the Value of Money, but they are not Lawful Money; for there is no Law that makes them so. They are a sort of Counterfeit Money, which has its own particular Value, and is bought and sold like other Commodities. The Price of these Crypto-Currencies varies every Day, according to the Opinion of those who deal in them; for they have no intrinsic Value, but only what they are worth to the Buyers and Sellers. As to their being a means of Trade, we need not say any Thing about them, since they are not allowed to pass current in any Country, either as Money or Credits, nor will they ever be received as such, unless the Government shall make them Legal. But though the Trade which is carried on by means of these Crypto-Currencies is not legal, yet it is considerable, especially among those who are fond of speculation, and are not afraid of risking their Money. It is said, that there are some People, who have made large Fortunes by dealing in these Crypto-Currencies, but it is not certain that they did not lose as much as they gained, or even more. The History of the World affords no Example of any Crypto-Currency that has lasted long, or ever become a general Medium of Exchange. If the Trade carried on by means of these Crypto-Currencies were stopped by the Authority of the State, those who had invested their Money in them would lose their Capital, and be left without any Resources. The only Security that the Owners of these Crypto-Currencies have is the Opinion of the Public, which may change at any Time, and leave them without any Value.

First I download the weights of the base pre-trained model to the VM instance. Then I upload my data there. Afterward, I fine-tune either LoRA or full and when training finishes, from the VM instance I download the adapters in case of LoRA and full weights in case of full fine-tune and run inference on a way less expensive instance (usually 3090).
"long term support" means you get 10 years of support on each major release. It doesn't imply anything between releases.
Amtrak pays $145m a year to freight rail companies like CSX and UP to use their rails for passengers. This was the bargain struck for allowing deregulation and privatization of rail in the US. They own the rails between NY and Boston but everywhere else, they have to pay the toll booth.

This doesn't account for the fact that someone can hold a copyright (or a physical item) and decide not to sell it at all. After all, they either hold the rights to it or they don't. It's not only theirs if they manage it "well".
This is really sad! When I was a kid, in the early 80s, I had their catalog, and even called them.

Some guy talked to me, happily for 20 minutes about their products. I suspect it was the owner, seemed like a nice sort, and seemed to like spreading enthusiastic joy about science.
"There is some risk to the property. Because the punctuation hangs off the edge, if you don’t have any available space, it can trigger a horizontal scroll bar, which sucks. This is probably why it’s not a default. It’s rare there is zero space on the edge of text, though, so meh."

If you're a designer looking to design to the point of using this styling, you're going to be adding the padding/margin to allow for that space. I would agree that having it set to off is a good default. I like when defaults are sane.

Honestly, I kind of agree. I’d be hard-pressed to think if any concrete advice I’ve received from other parents that was worth a good god damn, either from my generation or older. If you ever wander into any parenting forums, it gets so weird and culty very quickly.

Now, I’ve had useful tips for infants since they’re basically a brain stem with a mouth and a butthole, but when they get older it’s my experience that kids are just too different to apply any one broad set of strategies to them all.

I have a lot of respect for teachers, I don’t know how they command a whole room full of them.
It's the sort of cookie notice (which also attempts to embed gdpr consents and notices) used by a lot of sites, I haven't checked who the vendor is but they began declaring the number of third parties a few days ago.

I think I ran into it five times so far, three of which had a party count similarly around 700, and two above 2000.

The counts maybe include the third parties to which the third parties relay data etc.

I haven't checked if they've done it for some upcoming legal requirement or out of their own good heart (the legal requirement would in all likelihood be an nth draft of the ever "upcoming" ePrivacy regulation).

Fairly eye-opening in any case.

This is quite in line with what I remember as well (and have verified by looking through many old editions recently). I think this is just the outcome of modern business practices in the US. It's a race to the bottom of quality, while making that bottom line top out.
You're very, very selectively quoting. Here's the full bit:

> A probable or confirmed COVID-19 case whose death resulted from a clinically compatible illness, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death identified (e.g., trauma, poisoning, drug overdose).

> A Medical Officer of Health, relevant public health authority, or coroner may use their discretion when determining if a death was due to COVID-19, and their judgement will supersede the above-mentioned criteria.

> A death due to COVID-19 may be attributed when COVID-19 is the cause of death or is a contributing factor.

Basically, if you test positive for COVID and die of pneumonia or sepsis, they're comfortable calling it a COVID death... but "discretion may be used" by the coroner to override that assumption in either direction. That's sensible; they have more specific info than a general guideline.

As the third paragraph also indicates, "due to COVID" is different from "cause of death".
Similarly, I can hit a concert A3 (220Hz) pretty reliably from a cold start, +/-50 cents at worse, and that's just as a lifelong music dabbler. But also I was on depakote for a few months almost two decades ago (no intensive musical training in that time, it's kind of ass for mental clarity). I notice I start to lose my reference whenever I try one of those pitch trainer apps. But I've just started messing around with this pitch practice so I'll see how it goes.
Great piece that gives one several jumping off points.

As the article suggests, we need a dérive for the internet, but frankly we also need to just practice in our lives more. It's actually incredible what it will do for your mood to wander in search of nothing in particular except the avoidance of your own routine.

I was feeling utterly miserable the other week. I went for one of my usual walks, but on a whim I decided instead of walking my usual path, I'd wander up to a park I'd been to once before. It wasn't even somewhere new, just somewhere I hadn't been too many times, or too recently, and the osychological effect it had was pronounced and immediate.

My mood was lifted, I felt a sudden influx of creativity, I even felt physically energised in the most physiological sense. This feeling lasted multiple days.

Just walk down some suburban streets even. If you're lucky to live in a slightly better area, you'll probably eventually stumble on some half-hidden cafe or something. Sit down and try the coffee, then keep walking. Low commitment, novelty, and a newfound sense of the limitlessness of the soace you have access to.
From what you described, Google needs to work a great deal on its recruiting practices, bc right now it is an incoherent mess.

The consequences seem to manifest into serious technical problems, like losing customer data on its cloud storage service.
> It’s even FSF approved.

Not quite. The FSF says it's GPL compatible, but they do not recommend it:

> This is a lax permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with the GNU GPL.

> We do not recommend this license. If you want a lax permissive license for a small program, we recommend the X11 license. A larger program usually ought to be copyleft; but if you are set on using a lax permissive license for one, we recommend the Apache 2.0 license since it protects users from patent treachery.

You’re at peak insanity so just hang in there. It for sure gets easier but the issues change, you begin to have to convince and change minds vs just keeping them from nose diving off the back of the couch.

I have 13 and 11 year old boys which is pretty sweet at the moment. We talk about games, space, music, and other stuff. They’re old enough to have opinions and something to say but still young enough to see me as the most powerful being in their universe haha

Our entire logical system is premised on essentially three things: law of identity, law of non-contradiction, and the law of excluded middle.

One interesting fact is that there is a school of mathematics called constructive mathematics. This branch of mathematics proves things without using the law of excluded middle.
In theory you could keep using rhel9 till 2032, so theres plenty of road to kick the can down
Thank you, that was a fascinating talk and I learned quite a bit.

However, it did not provide a convincing argument as to why LLMs cannot be a part of a "doomer" AI. In fact, I got the opposite vibe from Andrej explaining expected future developments. The whole section on System 2 thinking sounds like a layer constructed around dumb LLMs that would result in vastly improved and more generalizable intelligence.

I agree that just scaling the size of LLMs is probably not sufficient for AGI...but that just seems like one relatively minor piece of all the possible ways it might be achieved.
The New Deal was a pretty big deal- it did a lot to transition the US to a centralized enough state to accomplish what we generally regard as the duties of a modern state. A ton of what made it work was the Executive and Legislative branches bullying the (normally a bulwark of conservatism) Judicial into acquiescing.

Since the end of the Warren court, the Judicial branch has been chipping away at the ground they lost, and I guess this would continue that process.

Before people come yell at me, I want to be very clear about the is/ought distinction here- we ought to have a centralized government, it isn't particularly compatible with the constitution as currently constructed.
He grew up in Portland, no?

Which isn't coastal. Nor is Springfield, OR. In fact, if coastal is required that generally rules out Oregon as a candidate state. Not too many major coastal population centers of any name...

They don't prevent covid. Everyone gets covid. Just like everyone gets the common cold, with or without a mask. Even if they worked for a time, it wouldn't be ideal to wear them permanently, as your quality of life would be permanently degraded and your natural immunity deficit would continue to grow to the point that ordinary diseases would seriously harm you.
The link between interest rates and the business cycle is a core tenet of Austrian economics. The boom bust cycle is made worse by government policies mispricing time preferences, ie setting the interest rate to the wrong value.
He does not, that's the point. I think YC is not on the legal side regarding this topic.
From what I observe, some people are just constantly high. I found many examples in sales/marketing. Tired yet high.
My sense is that the N64 cartridge just couldn’t compete with the optical disc formats for content storage as RPGs just exploded in size and complexity at the time. (And way too many rendered cutscenes!)
The remedy isn’t (currently) to punish the issuer. It’s to file a counter notice. I’ve been through this process against Meta. It sucked, and killed my project’s early momentum. But it was restored within a week or two after we filed.

It may seem like this system isn’t fair. It certainly isn’t. But it’s the best we have, because the system was not designed for the modern era. https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU?si=sZS6s53w4mZrJ3Vk

It’s lucky we even have a recourse like filing a counter notice.

I’ve wanted to make a non profit that offers up counter notices as a service. Basically, let people donate, and whenever someone’s project (like this unfortunate web browser) gets issued a DMCA claim, they’d be able to get a counter notice drafted and filed. It’s not cheap to hire a lawyer to do it, but you pretty much have to, which was the most unfair part. The companies filing the takedowns have lots of resources, but the targets often have substantially none.

That idea is probably too much work, but someone should do it. We need an organization to go to bat for creators. Or at least an organization that gives the creator enough legal rope to hang themselves if the entity making the claim decides to file a lawsuit, which is sometimes a real possibility. But the creator should get to decide whether to take on that risk without having to pay thousands of dollars first.
Copying myself: The link between interest rates and the business cycle is a core tenet of Austrian economics. The boom bust cycle is made worse by government policies mispricing time preferences, ie setting the interest rate to the wrong value.
Which is a number that makes it worse... it means they're only popular in at most 4 countries, and have stiff competition (or in general unappealing to buyers) everywhere else.

If they were selling like hotcakes more equally around the world, a place with only 10% of US sales would not be in their top 5.
Another download ratio trick was to use a file transfer client like Leech Modem, an XMODEM-compatible client that would, after downloading the final data block, tell the server the file transfer failed so it wouldn’t count against your download limit.

Neat. Hopefully they won't go bust right away like all the rest. This sort of article was exactly what was printed decade after decade -- company X has an airship prototype and will test it shortly but either they never get one aloft, or it gets damaged in a storm and they run out of funding to build another.
I didn't say it was. I just followed one of the links in the article because I grok Go and it seemed counter-intuitive to how Go normally does things. But the other answers seem to make sense, so I guess this is a thing I accept now.
It never occurred to me to not like syntax highlighting but with a moment’s reflection, I’ll say that it’s especially helpful for other people’s code, and data. And dumb things like HTML. And my shell prompt.

As long as you read it with the skeptics "yes, but it's not intelligence" its a good read.

It's when you read it with the "at last, I can understand how reasoning and inference with meaning is going to emerge from this" you have a problem.

It's a great read but what you bring to it, informs what you take from it.
