The benefit of the LLMs is that the checkpoint already "understands" a lot by default. Finetuning is relatively cheap and makes many tasks such as this one perform decently well simply by shoving some data into it.

The base checkpoint takes a lot of compute to make, but that's what holds most of it's "knowledge" so to speak.

Making a NN from scratch means you'll have to somehow map the cards into inputs. I have limited knowledge of how MTG works, but most TGG have text descriptions and complex effects. Mapping text to logic is what LLMs are really good at, otherwise you're starting from scratch and will also need a relatively large amount of compute before it starts displaying any type of decent behaviour.

It's also easy for most software devs to do this - finetuning mostly consists of collecting text and feeding it into a finetuning script. You don't need to know linear algebra, what a "convolution" is, etc. to do finetuning.

Nope, much more primitive than that. I played it on paper terminal in the late 70s/early 80s.
What's brilliant is they get press either way this goes down.
That would be my personal preference, laser focus on their browser, but Perhaps they didn't because it's already good and the reason they're falling is combating monopolies. Safari/Edge are defaults in their space and have OS's that can nudge.

Google owns huge swaths of the internet and can nudge people as well and break other OS's on whim.

Mozilla probably felt the need to have other offerings and leadership to winback something when "being a great browser" wasn't enough in the past 14 years.
I use Firefox. I started using it because I liked the Multi-Account Containers and I've just stuck with it. I am absolutely shocked that FF's market share is ~2%. I had no idea it was that low, wow!
For normal tech companies with low marginal costs sure. Spotify pays 70% of revenue straight to labels though, they need far more revenue per employee than normal tech companies to make the math work.
> higher taxes on the wealthy will tax some people out of their 2nd and 3rd homes, bringing those units onto the market

To fund UBI would impact a lot more than just super rich people with multiple homes. You'd have to tax into the upper middle class most likely to pay for it.

Do you not see the logical inconsistency in your argument? That adding all this purchasing power at the bottom of the market would have a massive impact on prices, but removing the exact same amount from the top has a only a narrow, insignificant impact.

> "Statistical significance," like UBI, is a very specific idea. It's not shorthand for "does it convince me." It is literally not true the study had zero statistical significance.

It's just a cherry-picked correlation in a massively noisy dataset, and a very weak one at that. Calling that study "empirical evidence" is a joke. You might as well cite astrological charts.
I mean by this definition I’d say it happened when they introduced Siri or Hey Google. The creation of these tools and their massive/universal adoption a la web-crawlers is still a large gap though. Getting to point where you consider them as a dark “guardian angel” or “ancestral spirit” goes even a step farther I think
Support? Now replaced by a LLM? It seems the trend…
Instead of government leaving it up to "market share", in an industry with decades of documented history of underhanded anti-competitive behavior, how about:

1. All government Web frontends must be compliant with one of the government-defined profiles of browser features, which are defined in terms of W3C (not WHAT, not Chrome) open standards. With sufficient penalties to motivate compliance.

2. As a practical matter, developers of government Web-based systems -- in addition to developing to documented open standards, and using open standards-based libraries/frameworks -- will be motivated to test with multiple browsers, including Firefox, because that's the most likely way that end users will discover and report noncompliance with the standards and profiles.

3. Government "apps" for non-Web platforms, such as Apple iOS and Google Android, are strongly discouraged. Furthermore, such non-Web apps by default are not compliant unless complete comparable functionality is available via compliant government Web frontends/apps. (To get permission for exceptions in extraordinary circumstances, there will be an onerous and uncertain process, and thus the motivation is to invest in the open standard Web platform for any "extraordinary" platform facilities that might be needed.)

(Also there would be regulations about backend implementations; that's just about browsers.)
Do you remember back when Pidgin, Trillian, and others created clients that worked across AOL, MSN, and other messengers. They worked for a while, they'd stop working, they'd update and start working, and that went over and over again. I'm not really looking forward to having that experience again.
Disagree. I know nothing about Zoos, animal keeping or what have you but... chimps gotta eat, couldn't they just have approached them with treats laced with sedative?

+ in general, in case of situations like this, Zoos should be required to employ people with enough fortitude and good enough relationship with the animals to approach them to dish out said treats, or throw a net on them or whatever, maybe wearing riot gear and other protective equipment or what have you but yeah there should be a requirement that someone takes some degree of risk before jumping straight to shooting the animals, especially if they haven't even yet displayed any aggression or anything. It seems to me Zoos jump straight to shooting them because it's the safest (for them), quickest and cheapest way of ending the situation, which isn't good enough.

Actually, Zoos should be banned period lol but yeah.
Former US Navy submarine nuclear reactor operator here.

Adjusting the steam output was kind of strange. On a submarine, the steam used to propel the submarine dwarfs all the other steam loads. As a result, there's a throttleman who controls that.

Even though this simulation is simplified, it's not too bad. It does hide some of the really interesting aspects of a water cooled/moderated nuclear reactor. The most interesting thing is that water makes the reactor self-regulating because of its negative temperature coefficient of reactivity. I'll explain.

When a uranium-235 atom absorbs a stray neutron, it becomes unstable and splits. This releases more neutrons. Very few of these neutrons will be absorbed by surrounding uranium-235 atoms. This is a good thing. Most will escape the fuel, and some will bounce around in the surrounding water. This slows the neutrons down, and some of them will bounce back into the fuel to be absorbed for more fission reactions.

Let's say 1,000 fission reactions occur. If the result is that 800 neutrons from those fission reactions are absorbed by other uranium-235 atoms, you'll have 800 more fission reactions. The reactor is sub-critical as the reaction will not be self-sustaining.

If 1,000 fissions cause 1,200 neutrons to be absorbed and react, you'll have 1,200 resulting fission reactions. The reactor is super-critical as the number of fissions will increase.

If 1,000 fissions occur and the result is that 1,000 neutrons are absorbed and cause 1,000 more fission reactions, the reactor is critical. "The reactor is critical" means the number of fission reactions is self-sustaining and neither increasing nor decreasing.

How can we affect how many neutrons bounce back into the fuel? We can change the density of the water. It makes sense if you thing about it. The denser the water, the more likely neutrons will hit a water molecule and head back into the fuel.

How can we change the density of the water? We change the temperature of the water. If the water is colder, it is denser and the more likely neutrons will bounce back into the fuel.

How do we change the temperature of the water? We pull more/less heat of out it by using more/less steam.

Putting this all together, as steam demand goes up, more heat is pulled out of the water. This causes colder water to enter the reactor. Colder water will reflect more neutrons. More neutrons means more fission. More fission means more heat. More heat means warmer water and this will attenuate the increase in fission until an equilibrium is reached.

If you're creating too much power, the coolant temperature will increase and the power output will lower.
If you're creating too little power, the coolant temperature will decrease and the power output will rise.
That's why water is a great coolant/moderator: its negative temperature coefficient of reactivity.
Yeees, bring on the simulation tools.
> I'm selecting players with a 62% lifetime win rate so mostly players who have been good over a larger number of drafts!

Hmm, but there are a lot of players with greater than a 62% lifetime win rate with very few drafts, but there may be many of those players... do you see? The win rate isn't a good filter. You chose it, you are trying to justify it, and I'm not convinced, not without the hard numbers.

I'm not confused about what filter you chose. I just think it's a bad filter, and you haven't thought very deeply about how it affects the data, which includes presumably your test and validation data - however you're choosing to test and validate, apparently by hand, by some eyeballed examples.

Anyway I think you have to compare with a non-LLM, non-random baseline to have any sense if this stuff is working at all. I could be dead wrong. I would maybe compare with a community draft picker.
> Machine learning algorithms are learning to identify people just by their walk -- no face recognition required.

About a decade ago I knew people researching computer vision algorithms doing non-facial recognition (stuff like ear shape/gait/etc) because companies like Fortinet were
trying to build "automated doormans" to apartment/condo complexes where they would scan and analyze any humans walking by the cameras placed at the door.

Not a lick of ethics from anyone involved.

What we need is rabid legislation that encodes a right to be forgotten, because clearly an expectation of privacy isn't enough. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with automating identification, but I do think there's a lot wrong with companies trying to do it for every human being that they can possibly find without any consent.

I am one of the programmers that worked on this port back in 2013, I can assure you that we (the programmers) also wanted to make a scenario where the plant would explode, however given it was designed to promote nuclear technology to school children (generally speaking), the people funding the project were not so keen to have nuclear technology shown off in that way!
I think it’s basically impossible to safely live-patch part of a compilation unit in most programming languages: you’d have to account for inlining and other optimizations to do this correctly. You _can_ patch at linkage seams and other places, but this is a fraction of the sorts of redefinitions that you get easily in systems designed for it. (And I’ve spent a lot of time trying to make various programming languages more Lispy so I can get stuff done: you always discover there are static presumptions that make it impossible to get the full experience)
The inventor of brain fuck also gave us the Sauerbraten engine with its octree geometry storage as maps.
Combined with IP source address spoofing, it would probably help greatly with DDoS amplification attacks while only saving up <50% packets for good users.

If you care about time rather than packet count, you can send packets with all reasonable TTL values at once.
Speaking as a library developer, Firefox is expensive for us to support in https://replicache.dev and https://reflect.net due to lots of long-open bugs, particularly in the storage system. Firefox also generally has the slowest performance which affects us.

I'm not bagging on the team, it's frankly amazing they've been able to mostly keep up, it's just a fact that maintaining a competitive web browser is a gargantuan task that requires a large team and investment.
Apple maintains iMessage compatibility with devices that are long out of support, if Beeper Mini is sufficiently similar to the client in for example iOS 12 then it makes an Apple decision to break Beeper fairly expensive. Even if they do the work to publish iMessage updates for the old iOS versions it just buys a little time before the new version gets reverse engineered, and that at the cost of poor user experience for the people with those devices in a form they will directly blame on Apple. Given all that I suspect he's right.

I have never see even a one Tor/I2p user without Firefox and these numbers will never appear in the statistics. Probably not a big share of market but these usecases are just incompatible with Chrome and what else you consider as browser, Safari?
Mobile browsers aren't sufficiently differentiated enough for a significant amount of people to bother changing the default. Does anyone really think Samsung Browser would get close to 1.6% if it were a free and unbiased choice?

Apple sets the rules, gets special access (new releases, features, platform changes, countless other things), and relentlessly captures their users into the Apple ecosystem/moat. You seem to think swapping the rendering engine is a trivial task but you're asking them to practically create a new browser. And for all that effort, you're still competing with an opponent that's basically cheating. I'm not sure why Firefox/iOS even exists, frankly.

For modals I usually use Vue+Primevue and for cron jobs I use celery+redis. Login is a pain, but it's mostly a solved problem on my end.

So long as those algorithmic challenges are actually in-use. Warranted. If it's just to flex that last little bit of grey matter, not warranted. The issue is software complexity is such a spectrum that so too must the interview process. No standard "developer 101" interview exists because each company has different software needs. An entry-level exam at Google will look different than an entry-level exam at Dunder-Mifflin. I think better expectations and better communication are the way to have successful (and meaningful) interviews. Yes, code test and all that but you should formulate the interview so that it gives you a good understanding of what they would be like to work along-side. I agree though with what you said.

Perhaps. They didn't start including the SE with Macs until the first TouchBar Mac in 2016. So there are many millions of non-SE devices in use right now. Of course, Apple could still decide to unilaterally drop support for iMessage on older devices, but doing that risks pissing off and probably losing for life tens of millions of users to prevent, let's be realistic, several hundred thousand users (this is a paid app, this isn't free) from using iMessage on Android using this method.

I wouldn't put it past Apple and other reverse-engineering routes might have to be taken but I don't think this is as easy of a "Apple will instantly shut this down" scenario as many others seem to.

For a long time it was absolutely awful on Android as well. Not sure about Android, but at least on macOS Firefox has about identical performance as of this year now. They did a lot of work, some macOS specific, in recent times.

That said your average person isn't trying out every browser multiple times per year to see how fast it is today.

Some of the most interesting papers published this year ("Automatic Multi-Step Reasoning and Tool-Use") compare prompt strategies across a variety of tasks. The results are fascinating, findings are applicable and invite further research in the area of "prompt selection" or "tool selection."
> But the generation of politicians that are being rebuked by the voters who gave Trump power were outdone by literal communists when it comes to creating wealth.

The US has created more wealth over the past 10 or 20 years than China has.

US households have added roughly $72 trillion in net wealth over just ten years (and that's just counting households; excluding non-profits and corporations). It's the greatest net wealth creation in human history for one nation, surpassing anything China has done in a ten year span.

Read that one more time. $72 trillion. Ten years.

US household wealth is at an extraordinary level at present and holding despite very high interest rates. Meanwhile China's housing market is a disaster and their stock market hasn't net moved in 16 years (it's still stuck where it was in eg 2007 and 2009).

Yeah but the US middle class is doing horribly and isn't getting a share of that $72 trillion. The US median individual wealth figure is now over $100,000. It's higher than either Germany or Sweden. That's the median, in a nation of 335 million people.

China will continue to wilt under Xi and the US and its allies will continue to redirect their capital investment.
