It really depends on the dynamics of the intersection. In a downtown with pedestrians active at all times of the day, they're not really needed, pedestrians can be assumed.

Suburban intersections really need them and I wouldn't consider them 'the most remote' ... the intersections are large enough that most people can't or won't cross on a minimum length green, so the button lengthens the green time. Additionally, traffic patterns vary, and waiting for a car to trigger the occupancy signal might be a longer wait, and anyway to encourage pedestrianism (false positives from people jumping out of cars isn't that big of a deal in the scheme of things either), the beg button often reduces cycle times to minimums until the pedestrian can cross. The alternative of including pedestrians in all cycles by default is a waste of everyone's time, including pedestrians, given the low pedestrian usage.

Maybe if there was a good way to measure pedestrians on approach and intersection entrance, you could do the same thing you do for cars, and cycle in advance of their arrival and confirm they cleared the intersection before cycling further, but that's asking for a lot.

In remote intersections, you only really need a button if there's significant traffic. Otherwise, crossing whenever there's a clearing is probably better, IMHO. But a button for slow crossers isn't a bad idea.
"Link tax" is clearly chosen in bad faith, like in other cases where that wording had been used. What's really happening is that Google Search shows previews of large parts of articles such that visitors don't go to origin sites to generate page impressions/ad playouts. Which is especially problematic since Google/Alphabet is either an ad provider on the skipped news site or its competitor.
Like most useful things, it provides abstraction, simplicity, and organization.

It has a webui with a bunch of features.

If you don't like or want those things, that's fine. This question feels like a "no true power user would...".
I switched to i3 years ago for the workspace management. I can spread different workspaces across my monitors with easy commands and full control. Every OS and linux distro I've tried has inferior workspace management compared to i3. Tiling is secondary for me.
> How many years are you going to have to save up to retire at $240k/year vs $80k/year, do you think? Would you rather grind 10 months a year until you're too old to do anything but sit around and watch TV, or would you rather grind 12 months a year for 5-10 years and then do whatever you want for the rest of your life?

This is the mindset difference I'm telling you about. The rest of us don't want to "grind" at all, never. Not now, not later.

We want a work/life balance that allows us to do whatever we want to do when we retire, but now. Spend time with family, enjoy hobbies or whatever, but not wait until retirement to do so.

This is how many of my friends already live, as they've chosen jobs that allow them a balance in life, without any "grind" or "hacking" or whatever you want to call it.
This is, I believe, an accessibility feature.

I prefer the version of it I encountered in Hong Kong; there is a rapid clip of clicks at green, followed by a slower click when flashing red, and then a slow click at red. It's more universal and language-agnostic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnWRQ9yVFYg&t=13s

The sounds are highly directed so you can't hear, say, the crosswalk perpendicular to you, let alone hear it from surrounding buildings.

No it doesn't have to be, and it wasn't. That was the whole problem. They were both unsigned integer types with 8 bit widths but they were distinct and, in particular, uint8_t didn't have the aliasing exception that unsigned char does.

Imagine how irritating it is for every pedestrian to have to wait for every light to change, for their momentary privilege to walk across a 5ft-wide space that often has cars poking their hoods into it.
The animal brain equivalent isn't summarize a context window to account for limited working memory. It's to never leave training mode to go into inference-only mode. The learned models in animal brains never stop learning.

There is nothing stopping someone from keeping an LLM in online-training mode forever. We don't do that because it's economically infeasible, not because it wouldn't work.

I use lemon juice. It works, inasmuch as anything works.

I mainly use avocados to make guacamole, and my recipe includes lemon juice. If there's half an avocado left over, I splash lemon juice on, then wrap it in plastic film and refrigerate it.
Referrer is exactly how you would do it.

The idiocy here is that most of these publishers are likely customers of Google's ad networks anyways, and the clicks through to the articles are yielding ad revenue to them, and they likely are getting analytics and tracking that identifies exactly where the inbound traffic is coming from.

It feels like a shakedown by people who are in other parts of the business totally disconnected from the web content / publishing arms, who likely know better?
Not sure if it's everywhere - but where I am it is actually illegal to cross when it says don't cross and you can get a ticket for it. (not saying it's actually enforced).

Why "People" has no dedicated tab? Is that standard in UI?

About the drawings:

People and animals are very nice.

Activities, Objects and Travel are interesting. Most are fine, but some have weird details.

Food (in particular Fruits) are horrible.

The difference between categories is very intersting for me. In particular, what kind of training set did you use that makes good Animals but bad Fruits?
I’m glad to see people in the open source community taking the initiative to implement these tools for the general public. It’s one thing to understand the high-level concepts in a paper, but another entirely to implement them efficiently. Some people just really have a knack for reading academic papers and implementing those ideas in software.
That makes me wonder of the little adaptions they need, that we Minute-Zero-ians ;) don't notice... do many Indian desktops have world clocks, for example?
I suppose a better example of what I meant to talk about are lichen. Which are single species but technically a partnership between types of fungi and an algae.

In siphonophores, each specimen is actually a colony of minute asexually reproducing organisms called zooids that have to work together for survival. They are not "independent" in the sense that they would die without each other, but given the fact that they can reproduce independently, there's definitely some sort of independence there. It's like if all your organs were able to independently reproduce themselves.
It's not arbitrary. Any organization which meets fairly transparent requirements must be on the list.
The law explicitly requires a power differential and $1B in revenue, so almost any other site won’t be affected.

I do wish there was more distinction between a link and content display. I think there’s a very real concern that summaries lower click-through rates, which Google has been pushing for years and will be turbo-charged with LLMs summarizing content in the future. It would be interesting to see if there might be some future nuance around that.
According to this law, "just linking to something" is not fine.
The acceptable way you're hoping for is exactly how it's worded. The headline here is fearmongering.
Don't think it is workable. Changing clocks is annoying, but probably a good idea when you live in high latitudes.
>when all it's doing is linking to the publisher's own site

That's not true, however. It is also often including a summary and an image, which is certainly republishing or reposting the content. In no way is it "web-illiterate/ignorant" to refer to it as such, because it is more than just a link.
Rust already encountered lots of bugs when they tried to add all the aliasing info they had to the IR output.
Indeed, and the funny thing is that FB itself became a more pleasant place after people stopped being able to post rage-links to news articles anymore. Though I've since de-activated my account, so I can't say if that's still the case.
Same, my family probably goes through 10 to 15 avocados per week, so we buy them every few days at Costco to have a rotating stock. They take about 5 days to ripen, and then once it feels a little soft, we put it in the fridge, and then they last for a while in the fridge (at least a week).

The one rule at Costco, however, is to not buy avocados from Peru. For whatever reason, the loss ratio is way too high for those specifically.
As a Canadian this is disappointing to me. I disagree with the law. Actually, disagree is too soft. I think it is absolutely ridiculous. By Google agreeing to pay even one penny, it removes a large incentive for our politicans and regulations to realize that this was ill-conceived and to come to their senses and repeal.
I find your argument strange. Any windowing system can put two windows next to each other.

I think this is really important point. Somehow lot of folks are missing it. As if each engineer is responsible for launching a new Amazon service every year. I have heard and met many current Amazon software engineer. Most of their job description sound rather crappy routine work even for me earning 1/3rd salary of Amazon.

I surmise large number of engineers there are just collecting bounty on Amazon monopoly on cloud infra. Their skill and work is not more challenging or interesting than hundreds of thousand engineers at 20-30% income of Amazon in boring enterprise IT shop.
Same. Slowing down traffic is an inherent good, whether or not you have any intention of crossing.
How do they know there's no market for their outdated in-house silicon? It's a shame that all this compute is being manufactured only to go to the shredder.

I'm surprised they didn't mention storing the avocado with a piece of onion. I just stored one for almost a week with no visible browning thanks to the onion. Just store the 2 cut pieces in a container and store in the fridge.
If you live, vaguely, in the north (of the 45th parallel) you get that change either way thanks to the tilt of the earth.

I'd rather have the sunset start at 8PM and go over the horizon at 9PM (without DST) in the summer, than the current ends at 10PM in the summer. https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/seattle

Now somewhere like Miami, FL https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/miami with DST has a longest day of about 6AM to 8:40PM (civil twilight start / end), which without DST goes to 5AM and 7:40PM.
There's a light in a village by me that won't give the walk signal unless someone hits the button, but instead will let cars turn. Last weekend when I went up to this light (as a pedestrian), there were two other pedestrians waiting. I had (wrongly) assumed that they had hit the button. But we waited two light rotations and I heard them complain about it not letting them cross. Then I hit the button myself and the next rotation it let us cross.
It comes down to culture and what kind of onus society expects to put onto worker to create and police de facto legislation, which is prefered in some places to allowing the state to enact the same de jure.

They could have done this but now they don't have to.

> When a stranger murdered Kitty Genovese outside of her Brooklyn apartment while thirty seven bystanders watched without so much as calling the police, the Volunteer's Dilemma went mainstream

This article cites the murder of Kitty Genovese as an example of the bystander effect / volunteer's dilemma. More recent research, including a documentary by Kitty's brother who interviews witnesses (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3568002/), has shown that the police report and subsequent newspaper reporting of 37 witnesses doing nothing is completely wrong. See https://www.npr.org/2014/03/03/284002294/what-really-happene... and https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/03/10/a-call-for-hel... .

The New York Times has updated their original article acknowledging it's incorrect (https://web.archive.org/web/20181108183955/https://www.nytim...)
Your first link is a set of experts that the EU Commission consulted while developing their regulations. It does not mean those folks were necessarily "behind" the regulations, so I would not call out anyone on that list.

Some of the folks on that list are certainly pro-scanning: it's an absurdly biased list. But to me that's reflective of the EU Commission having a desired policy from the start, then mainly seeking out experts who could help them achieve their goal.
It's a bit of a mixed bag. NeuronSDK is implemented with Torch XLA so there's not real lock-in there. Your code will usually just work on CUDA if it works in Trainium. However for larger models (ZeRO, Sharding, etc...) they have their own libraries that are more coupled to the actual accelerator topology because using something like DeepSpeed was not possible.

Overall the challenge is often more with making your code work on their accelerator, not porting it away from their accelerators so I wouldn't be too concerned about lock-in.

I live in Italy and I also want a permanent summer time: for the way we live it's far more valuable to have light in the evening than in the morning. Actually, I'd get double summer time March to October or at least April to September.

I know that we could just change our culture and habits and move everything we use to do one hour back, but that has an inertia that will make it impossible.
Google News is ridiculously spartan. It's very old school Google. A headline, a classification, and sometimes a thumbnail. No description or summary or text of any kind

Facebook, yeah, that's something else. One thing that is legitimately bad about that is the way the content can be posted on whatever wall and then a pile of unmoderated public comments put on it, that the publisher has no control over.

Even then it is more about showing off your wealth than comfort. You can afford several slaves just to carry you around. Probably more comfortable than walking (unlike a wagon), but not by much.
While driving around Africa I was always buying avos from the side of the road and working on a system to always have one or two ripe.

To make them ripen as fast as possible - stick them in a plastic bag and put it in the full sun. You want them to sweat. They'll ripen in a single day if you get enough sun on them.

To slow them down, throw them in the fridge.
What if we just train it to respect facts in general, then couldn't we just supply it a list of facts?

True, and makes sense that the logic is closing in but the breadth of the data is too narrow in 7GB's to ask questions about niche topics.

Mistral hasn't released their own official 13B/30B's yet, but i'm really looking forward to what they can do.

What is crazy is that Ultrafastbert, Speculative, Jacobi, or lookahead decoding could potentially speed up by up to 80x depending on size which could make GPT-4 like models feasible on entry level macs / Phones if similar wizardry is done memory wise.

..Yes im very optimistic after the insane progress over the last months with models like Mistral, Deepseek etc.
Devil’s advocate: “You can choose what to give us and we’ll display it… but if what you give us isn’t good enough, who knows what might happen to your links’ prominence on our site?” isn’t quite some fully-voluntary thing when Google’s the one saying that.

It's less that I have fond memories and more that I know little about M-B other than general sentiment of other car enthusiasts. I'm a big BMW fan myself, and I'm perfectly fine with seeing BMW taking M-B's place as the "reliable" German brand, I just didn't know that was happening to this extent.
Well we can't, and that's having tried! The replies do a great job of illustrating why really: there's no consensus. Some want permanent standard time. Some want permanent DST. Some are fine the way it is. In a big country spanning a lot of latitude as well as longitude and tens of millions on wildly different work and sleep schedules, messy compromise making no one entirely happy is what success looks like.

Basically time stuff is arguably one of the big Chesterton's Fences that comes up on HN a lot. We didn't end up where we are for no reason or because people in the past were stupid.
That is true in most places I have ever been.
Oh those are widespread. In my experience, even where those laws don't exist, they are believed to exist by the brainwashed, car-obsessed population.

As it's Serious Eats, I'm disappointed that they didn't test things like submerging the cut or mashed avocado in CO2 (e.g., from SodaStream, etc.) or nitrogen.

See my other post in this discussion. Higher latitudes are dominated by the tilt of the earth https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/seattle DST only harms them by making the latest summer sunset around 10PM.
I'm Canadian. It's obviously extortion. Unless you take the position that linking to someone on the internet harms them.

In the regular world, people pay for links. Google had to ban the practice of paying for links because links are so valuable. And people still do it.

It is nonsensical to argue that links are a cost. So, this law was an attempt at a shakedown.

And it didn't work very well. Meta walked, and this deal with google exempts it from the law if it pays $100 million. All existing deals with the media were cancelled too.
I'm pretty sure I've seen multiple critiques that this specific law is in fact a link tax, and doesn't care if there are previews or not.

Is that wrong?

Sure, google currently has previews, and a law could be written to target previews, but I don't think this law targets previews.
In my current area (Denver) and my former place of living (Baltimore), they yell "WAIT!" at you :D
How many characters of preview would be reasonable? 50? 100?
> criminality is lower when there's longer light

Correlation is not causation
I believe those goalposts have always been way farther out than many people think. If you look at the discussion around Turing's original Imitation Game paper, you'll find people wanting the machine to be able to do things that most humans cannot. And its perfectly valid to do so.

If you regard "an especially stupid person" as someone with significant cognitive or communication limits, then Parry and Eliza's Doctor are pretty fair simulations of paranoid schizophrenia (as it was understood at the time) and Rogerian therapy. Likewise, chess and go AIs are pretty damn smart, except they can't do anything else.

The point is that, if you accept limits on what the machine needs to do, then "intelligence" as defined by behavior you can recognize becomes trivially and meaninglessly easy.

(It's sort of like evaluating a person's competence: a minority person has to be more competent than their cohort because non-minority people get the benefit of the doubt.)
