It is not possible for a group of particles to have a divergent field when none of the individual particles have a divergent field.

This is not less interesting because it's "just a quasi-particle".

U.K. does a shoddy job of nearly everything - from wireless connectivity to infrastructure to healthcare dispensation - compared to even similar sized advanced economies.

Just take broadband / wireless connectivity.

Outside of London / S.E. England, the rest of the country has shoddier coverage than places like Thailand! Twitch streamers who have tried to livestream their exploits outside of London were met with spotty coverage at best. You can go watch the VODs yourself. Its unbearably bad even with the aid of cellular-bonding equipment ( multi-SIM multi-data plan fused to provide better signal ).

Whereas in similarly sized places like South Korea the same live-streamers have been able to stream the length and breadth of the country with a single SIM data plan, right from their phones without so much as a bitrate drop-off!

Large swathes of U.K. are still serviced by those one-lane-each-way thoroughfares you saw over a 50 years ago in films such as Straw Dogs and A Clockwork Orange.

My personal gripe - air conditioning is nearly non-existent outside of big box commercial establishments & good non-bed & breakfast hotel chains. ( This is the case across much of Europe - scores of people died in a heat wave in France not so long ago )

Absolutely said a lot about the technical and economic justifications, but don't really address the political aspect at all. Remember the that decision was made by the AEC, which at the time was heavily influenced by the Military Liaison Committee. Also forgive me if I don't agree that the people who oversaw unethical human experimentation for 30 years and released radiation over my home town might not have made their decision based on the same sound reasoning you lay out.

(From the Node.js GitHub issue.) Sounds like this guy is mixing up his Java knowledge with C++ knowledge.

C++ streams are frankly insane: Loads of implicit state, needing to set about a half dozen flags to do any nontrivial formatting, running the risk of accidentally "poisoning" all downstream operations if you forget to reset any of that state, the useless callbacks API [1], obfuscated function names (xsgetn, epptr, egptr), a ridiculously convoluted inheritance hierarchy that includes virtual/diamond inheritance [2], and use of virtual functions for simple buffer manipulation. These were all bad decisions even at the time.

When people criticize small arms in terms of resisting government, its usually because the government has better toys, and assume they would simply roll over the problem with tanks and planes. Thus you work your way back around to an occupation scenario.

The issue is that those toys have workarounds, especially for locals. The soviets ran into these problems several times. Sending tanks piloted by locals to put down locals often ended in a stalemate or worse (The locals cant tell whose piloting the tank, the tankers can identify their neighbors however)

If you want to narrow things down to guns keeping local politics straight, there was that recent business with the hardware store shotgun vs Shinzo Abe. The shotgun gentleman seems to have gotten every single demand met.
Looks very ahead. Seems like OpenAI days are numbered.
Congratulations on the launch! I’d love to see something like this succeed. However, there are some challenges that you might have to overcome. Here are some random thoughts:

Ingest Client Data - You will have to find customers who ingest dynamic data schemas. The example in the video shows more of a standard schema, which can be mapped once (using Lume or otherwise). No need to add an overhead or extra cost to run that data pipeline.

Normalize Data - One of the challenges will be to establish quality metrics for these mappings. Based on the demo, the quality score is supposed to be 100% all the time, but that’s far from the truth. Real data is messy. Validations will catch a lot of issues, but there will still be cases where incorrect mappings slip through. Ability to provide metrics around this will be very helpful in adoption.

Response Time - I’m not sure if you’re using OAI or your own models in the background. Even small latency in the pipeline for 100s of millions of records adds up to hours/days delay.

All the best!
Folks should be incredibly skeptical of videos like this. The major players working to capitalize on this technology have demonstrated time and again a complete willingness to lie to us about the capabilities of their models. It's become almost a requirement to appear competitive.
The grey market exists because people with means have ways to solve problems that are not meant to be solved. I don't know if owning a high end Tesla puts you into that crowd, but you're certainly in the right order of magnitude.

I'm good at drawing. You're exactly right. Making drawings that you care enough to put a sincere effort into, but won't mind throwing away after, is key.

When a pianist practices, they don't record every time. The nature of drawing is such that practice is intrinsically recorded, but it is better to treat it the way the pianist does. The only ones you keep are the important ones, the hundreds rest are throwaways just for the practice.

It's a cheeky-powerful feeling when I go out with newsprint and charcoal and draw in public at a museum or downtown then crumple it and toss it in a bin. People who notice are aghast because my work is pretty good. But I can just do it again.

The main problem with cobalt is that it is mined in a country that has little regard for human or child rights, and is also very poor (so people starve if they don't work). By moving away from cobalt, those kids will just starve instead, it also doesn't seem like the right solution. We could always just ask Belgium to solve the mess they made.

Very interesting. The 386 patents (e.g. 4972338) don't have any useful details. I wonder if that's related to Intel's decision not to second-source the 386; maybe they decided to keep as much secret as possible.

From page two of the paper:
"Low-period oscillators in Life, roughly p ≤ 15, can be found by playing with patterns by hand or
using brute force computer searches. In 1996, David Buckingham demonstrated [6] using his “Herschel
conduits” that one can construct oscillators with p ≥ 61 by sending signals around a closed track; the
cutoff for systematically constructing oscillators was later improved to p ≥ 43, by Mike Playle’s discovery
of the Snark [43]."
Really? How much less? I'm far from convinced that if you sum up the sheer volume of noises heard, as well the other neurological inputs that goes into learning to speak (ex proprioception) you'd come out with a lesser number than what LLMs are trained on, but I'm open to any real data on this.

The decision to shut down the Molten Salt Program within the AEC was driven by Milton Shaw, who also and at the same shut down numerous other programs: sodium graphite program (Hallam), organic program (Piqua), superheat BWR (Bonus, Pathfinder), high temperature gas, etc. He shut these down because he wanted all focus to be on the Fast Breeder Reactor (Clinch River). This was all in 1968.

Uranium-fueled commercial reactors never had anything to do with making plutonium for weapons. Plutonium was made by graphite and heavy water moderated reactors at Hanford and Savannah River.

Well, in times past, kings have been known to do this.

But more generally, you raise an interesting point. I think your reasoning succeeds at dispelling the often-touted strong form of the claim ("AI can do my job better than I can therefore I will lose my job to AI") but doesn't go all the way to guaranteeing its opposite ("No possible developments in AI could result in my job being threatened"). Job threat level will just continue to depend on a complicated way on everyone's aptitude at every job.
I sometimes feel sad about one particular branch of study, which could be applied to speed up computers, which was active right when the USSR was collapsing. Konstantin Likharev, among others, from Moscow State University worked on Josephson junction logical gates which demonstrated - then, 30 years ago - switching frequencies which are still out of reach for at least the mainstream CPUs (in some hundreds of gigahertz). A bit hard to find good articles about that research today - this one, https://www.beilstein-journals.org/bjnano/articles/8/269 , is an example. I've heard it failed to produce a commercial product because it was really hard to miniaturize.

However, I entirely agree with your last statement. I would like to call upon anyone who appreciates privacy to get behind a neural bill of rights. While it sounds a bit "tin foil hat" at the moment, non-invasive brain–computer interfaces are coming very soon. Especially using infrared techniques.

Today, TSA scans your face, soon enough it will be your brain. This is not a joke.

If the USA misses the boat on regulating neural interfaces, we will sail through the final frontier of personal privacy, and even agency.

One very exciting thing is the vram. 192GB!!!

That seems like a minor bump compared to the new H100, but sometimes the quality of your training, or the speed of your inference, is hugely effected by small thresholds of VRAM capacity per card. The MI300X can do things the H100 cannot, and judging by the sheer size of the silicon, do them reasonably quickly.

I asked Bard, verbatim. Its first response was that there were many sites that fit that description, and it asked me to narrow it down.

I dunno, I think passing a handful of 'easy' leetcode problems seems fair. I'm someone who programmed garbage-that-got-the-job-done with python for years, now trying to break into a real job and making an effort to actually grasp data structures beyond dynamic arrays. It has really notched-up how I think about the problems.

I've managed before and what I found aas that I didn't need to be as good as my best reports at their functions, but I did need a solid working grasp of their fundamentals.

That said, requiring mastery of 'hard'-level problems is silly.
