Isn't that what people mean when they say that cars are the problem? With a personal vehicle, all you need is a road and you can start from any point on the road and stop at any point. That means people and shops can be as spread out as they want. This leads to sprawl which perpetuates the problem as cars (or other motor vehicles) become necessary for any meaningful distance.

Edit: when people advocate to remove cars, I take it as removing cars as a viable option of transport and then designing the roads, public transport, facility placement, etc to make that a reality.
imho. why would a company - its focus is: make money - sell an "easy" product, if it can sell you a more complex - and more expensive one!?

i call it the SUV-effect:

make a simple product more complex, add features, which are more or less wanted by its customer but used as an argument to drive the price upwards.

its visible everywhere ... from cars over bikes to weapon-systems ;)

especially for products, where you just buy a certain number. for example as a person: one car, one bike or in case of the military: <n> airplanes/ships/tanks/...

higher unit price => more money for the company :)

It should work on Linux and also with WSL. You could also try running it in Docker.
I like the argument that observes "if you subtract 0.99(9) from 1, you get a number in which every decimal place is zero".

The geometric series proof is less fun but more straightforward.

As a fun side note, the geometric series proof will also tell you that the sum of every nonnegative power of 2 works out to -1, and this is in fact how we represent -1 in computers.
A problem I have with the open source models is that they are all not remotely good in many languages other than English compared to the OpenAI models. I specifically need Dutch and the outputs are unusable for us.

Of course, this is one in a million chance but it highlights very nicely IMO a much bigger issue: what is reality?

Some would say only the classical optical camera would capture faithfully our reality. But does it? The reality of the sunlight is a broad spectrum of radio emissions: UV, infrared and more. Does the optical camera capture these? No. Thus, which reality does it capture? Our perceived reality? Other would argue: at least the optical system would capture events in time faithfully. But does it? What would we see in a femto second? Certainly not the pictures we normally see. So the results of an optical system are also super imposed realities, not very much different than the results of a computational photography.

There is simply no single one reality, only our perceived realities. But if so, can we still call it reality or it’s merely a product of our sense, our perception and hallucination?
If the 'camera' is guessing as to intent, it's no longer a camera, sorry.

Another intuition:

All the decimals that recur are fractions with a denominator of 9.

E.g. 0.1111.... is 1/9

0.7777.... is 7/9

It therefore stands to reason that 0.99999.... is 9/9, which is 1

Impressive design.

I've watched more than a few videos of jet-powered RC aircraft, and they are scary fast. So it shouldn't be a surprise for the performance of a craft like this.
Yes. Also, it seems inevitable that at some points photos that you can't publish on Facebook won't be possible to make. Is a nipple present in the scene? Then too bad, you can't press the shutter.
It works in that on my two tests, most of the artists that came up are known to me and very often present in my music library.

I was kind of hoping to find stylistically similar music, but on second thought that would probably exponentially harder.

Sounds plausible - this is in line with the modern trend to posture by sanctioninig innocent people.

Of course, the only demographic these restrictions can affect are casuals. Even I know how to cirumvent this; thinking that this could hinder a government agent - who surely have access to all the necessary infrastructure by default - is simply mental.
Yes, it's in use and well alive. The latest release, 4.3, is from July 26, 2023.

Although I think that p5.js is growing faster, as it's more accessible (browser IDE, not typed) and the artworks are easier to distribute online.
The first thing they teach you at any photography course worth its money is that framing the picture itself is a distortion of reality. It's you deciding what's worth being recorded and what should be discarded.

There's no "objective photography", no matter how hard we try distinguishing between old and new tech.

Haha, same. I used to work in a music equipment rental warehouse that was staffed by musicians and all day we would be curating and training our favorite Pandora stations. If a bad song came on the person closest to the computer would scan the warehouse to see how many of us were giving that song a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down and train the algorithm according to our votes.

The trouble was, despite our diligent training and curation of many Pandora stations, any station remotely related to rock would eventually converge on Morrissey. It got so bad that whenever a Morrissey song would play you could hear shouts of protest from across the warehouse and it would be immediately downvoted with extreme prejudice.

Nevertheless it would keep feeding us Morrissey so the joke among us became “All stations lead to Morrissey”.

Assuming a non-shit business, you could think of "biz" as "customers integrated over the long term". Therefore putting "users" and "biz" as incomparable could be interpreted as prioritising users, sustainably.

they also block a lot of data center IP addresses, so if you're trying to access chatgpt from a VPN running on blacklisted datacenter IP range (a lot of VPN services or common cloud providers that people use to set up their own private VPNs are blacklisted), then it tells you it can't access the site and "If you are using a VPN, try turning it off."

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, Sachin Dev Duggal's journey over the past 15 years stands as a testament to visionary entrepreneurship. His expedition began in the early 2000s with the inception of his first cloud computing company, marking the initial steps of what would become a transformative career.

During the nascent years of cloud computing, Duggal's innovative spirit drove him to establish a company that would harness the potential of this emerging technology. This venture laid the groundwork for his later endeavors, providing insights and experiences that would prove invaluable in the years to come.

I tried Gerald Finzi. It shows Vaughn Williams with and without Ralph, mixes composers with performers, and adds rather unrelated composers. It also adds "Clocks and Clouds". This is either an instrumental trio that creates "epic" music, or a composition by Ligeti, neither of which is in the same category nor has any relation musically to Finzi. And it adds "Yak Bondy", which is inexplicable.

I guess it just does things when there's not much data, but that makes it practically useless for discovery.
> But given that 90% of the population lives in urban areas comms are much more efficiently done using 5g cell towers and the good old cable fiber.

Don’t be daft, 10% of the population doesn’t by your own numbers. People in rural areas all over (Alaskan native schools, schools on the Amazon River, etc) are getting online for the first time because of starlink.

Your post comes across as “I don’t care about projects to eliminate hunger worldwide because most people have access to food”.
I think quality animation will still require a lot of skill.
I do think that AI will be the end of animators who do nothing but inbetweens though. Considering the huge amount of skilled work involved and the low pay maybe that's a good thing, but it could also make it harder to develop and discover amazing animators.
Probably something closest to what your eye sees is ideal for most photos. But dumb optical cameras have all kinds of artefacts that eyes don’t. When I slightly bump the camera, the whole image comes out blurry, my eyes don’t do that.

Things like lens flares don’t exist either.
No. Roads with turn lanes are _flexible_, they allow fast arterial flow, with easy turns. This allows far more variation in design than just high-speed roads and slow local roads.

Moreover, removing "stroads" does NOT reduce fatalities! Boston's accident rate went up from 16 vehicular deaths in 2016 (before they drank the KoolAid) to 26 this year.

The attacks on surface roads by groups with an agenda (push people into dense cities) is predictable. They want traffic to become untenable, so they just lie and insinuate.
I think the corollary to the title (to turn it around on the author) is not 'Code is read more than written' but 'code that can't be read won't run for long'. Disclaimer: Experienced sysadmin trying to make a lateral move to development and as such a complete noob.
Typo: "Even though the 8086 has four clock signals" 8086 should be 386.

What if you looked at the 186, comparing it with the 8086? It should be interesting considering there is more efficient digital logic (including microcode) and possibly some interesting analog circuits for the embedded I/O...
Fun fact: one of Niklaus Wirth (the author of Pascal) students was Martin Odersky, who went on to create Scala.
I’m pretty sure you can’t (ever) disclaim liability for wilful actions. ie if you deliberately add nefarious code you are liable no matter what your disclaimer says. $2m would be eaten up by the legal bill and the remainder would seem scant compensation when the person was “retiring” in prison.

Secondly, by bribing the person even if they were covered by the disclaimer I’m pretty sure you would be liable for civil damages and probably violate one of many sweeping computer misuse laws.
It is false - real numbers fulfill the trichotomy property, which is precisely the lack of such a relationship: every two real number is either less than, equal or greater than.

But the numerical context can still be correct: (edit: ~~imaginary~~) complex numbers for example don’t have such a property.
What evidence of that do you have?
I'll join the chorus here and say that Turbo Pascal was my stepping stone from beginner tinkering (BASIC on Apple II and DOS) to professional development with C. The dev environment was the perfect mix of "serious and you can make real stuff including compiled executables for distribution" with approachability for a relative beginner.
Hey we are exactly dealing now with all that is related to the performance of running models from HF.
Yesterday we ran vicuna-13b-q8-gguf using llamacpp on a vast.ai A40 45GB VRAM
It gave us 4 tokens/s generation rate.
This seems a bit slow for that GPU and a 13b model.
Does anyone know where the problem could be in llamacpp, gpu, the model, something else?

Also… where are all the people like us that work on applications on top of HF models congregate?
Still have the Turbo Pascal 1.0 manual on my shelf. It was the first language I picked up after Basic and QuickBasic as a child.

The problem is that there are two different ways to write the same number in infinite decimals notation. (0.999... and 1.000...).

Thats what's counter intuitive to people, it's not an issue with 1/3. That has just one way to write it as decimals, 0.333...
We have these hidden push-buttons in Norway as well. I believe they enable an audible cue when the pedestrian light turns green so that visually impaired know when to cross. AFAIK they don't actually affect the cycle of the intersection, it's just for accessibility.
I just tried that with three classical composers, and got ... jazz bands?
In London we have those but cars frequently stop over them either because the drivers are ignorant of the rules, they don’t care or they were too ambitious about making a green and ended up being forced to stop at the last minute. So as a cyclist I frequently have to push up to the pedestrian crossing for my own safety from cars behind.
What's wrong with sprawl? It allows people to live in spacious houses. The overwhelming majority of people want that (more than 80%).

Take a look at your assumptions.

There are some problems with cars: gasoline use and general unsafety due to human drivers. EVs are solving the first one, and self-driving will solve the second one.
Regardless of the merit or practicality of the idea, I really loved the video and the animations. I'd happily watch a series of cars and other complex machines explained in the same style.

What part of their comment is harassment?
I am like this also. It's tricky though because I think people hear 'quality' in different ways. Some people focus on lyrics, some like cultural identity, some people are probably responding at a more 'primal' level, i.e. just to the pure energy / emotion. But I do think it is different for everybody and does bear some relation to the individual's level of musical awareness and how much time and effort they invest in cultivating their own taste. I once worked with someone who when asked "What kind of music are you into?" answered "I don't really listen to music". Shocking!

The best way I have found to find new stuff is just to listen to lots and lots of music, and follow different leads. It's hardy a chore doing so!
I guess it depends on the exact definitions, but reals usually doesn’t include the infinities. At my uni we introduced infinities precisely as an extension of the reals with two values defined by `lim`.
Try downtown Johannesburg, turning cars are supposed to wait for pedestrians when it’s a green pedestrian light, but the minibus taxis will intentionally drive through the crossings forcing gaps between pedestrians. You almost have to hold your nerve because if you don’t use the green, you’ll never be able to cross.

And of course being South Africa you also have to watch out for the “stopped” cars, which are never quite stopped and actually edge forward while the driver is checking their phone and not watching if they’ll bump into a pedestrian crossing. When I used to run there I had to tap the bonnet/hood of cars multiple times to catch the attention of the driver because they were edging forward over the crossing while checking their phone.
\1 is a good question that deserves an answer.

\2 is "not always" ..

Consider SumOf 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 ...

an infinite sequence of continuously decreasing numbers, the more you add the smaller the quantity added becomes.

It appears to approach but never reach some finite limit.

Unless, of course, by "Number" you mean "whole integer" | counting number, etc.

It's important to nail down those definitions.

I am not spokesperson for BLM, and not from US.

But UK had similar riots when the Government made a pledge not to raise univeristy fees, and in the first 3 months they raised them, and then killed a student at a protest. So protests turned into riots.

Some people need killing. But that’s not really the goal of building better weapons systems. Wars only get started by people who think they have a chance to win. Having a large, well-equipped military with the best weapons and then pledging to deploy that military to the defense of half the world deters a lot of wars from even starting in the first place.

A lot of people will argue that defense companies want wars to break out to increase their business, but I don’t think that’s necessarily true. In wartime, the military mostly needs cheap commodities—ammunition, supplies, food, fuel—nothing you can really differentiate on. And especially the most recent wars have mostly been against poorly armed terrorists, when the defense industry makes a lot more money selling weapons that would be total overkill against the Taliban but potentially useful against Russia or China.

> There is simply no single one reality, only our perceived realities.

This does not follow at all from your earlier paragraph.

The reality we're talking about here, which regular photography reflects while computational one doesn't, is the correlation of recorded data with the state of the world. The pixels of a regular photo are highly correlated with reality - they may have been subject to some analog and digital transformation, and of course quantization, but there's a straightforward and reversible (with some loss of fidelity) function mapping pixels to the photographed event. Computational photography, in contrast, decorrelates pixels from reality, and discards source measurements, leaving you with a recording of something that never happened, but is sort of similar to the thing that did.

I elaborated on this elsewhere in the thread, so let me instead point at another way of noticing the difference. Photogrammetry is the science and technology of recovering the information about reality from photos, and it works because pixels of regular photos are highly correlated with reality. Apply the same techniques to images made via computational photography, and the degree of uncertainty and fidelity loss will reflect the degree to which the computational photos are AI interpretations/bullshit.

You still have to know a bit about your buddy, though. You can probably assume he'll be awake at his midday, but what about 7:00? Is he an early riser? Or does he have other commitments at that time? In reality you'll just learn you can call around 16:00 your time. At that point it's just a number and doesn't matter what it is.

If things really were more complicated and you always needed to ask the question of "when can I call today", would it really be that difficult to incorporate schedules into contact records so your phone can tell you "available after 23 today".
Why does it matter if chatgpt wrote it, if the result is sensible?
Just because this doesn’t happen instantaneously doesn’t mean it’s a fantasy. Large changes in an ecosystem always take time. It may be years before the incumbents are truly displaced, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be. MySpace and RIM also seemed like they’d be there forever.
> in which utopian US city are you loving life?

I loved Houston, TX. Its road system and zoning are freakishly well-designed, and it allows people to have commutes that are far more comfortable (and shorter!) than in dense cities.

In fact, Houston ("Greater Houston Area") had shorter commute time than ANY European city of a comparable size!

I moved out of there because I couldn't tolerate the climate. My second-favorite city is Salt Lake City.
