>Imagine buying (purchasing) an apartment at full price, and after a year or two living there, someone comes and "we made a whoopsie with our licences, we need your apartment back".

2008 housing crash in a nutshell. Your metaphor would work if you were rich enough to not require a mortgage and can truly buy it outright, but the vast majority of people don't "buy a house", unfortunately. They seek a mortgage (fancy term for "loan"), the seller gives the home to the bank, and the buyer gains the deed when they pay off the loan, likely for an amount greater than the cost of the home.

This is just a huge tangent, but your example was a sad reality for some unlucky "homeowners" when the system failed.
GPT-3.5 is similar to Pro
Can't speak for this model, but I know from personal experience with GPT3.5-16k and GPT4, that if you get outdated code being generated, you can just include up-to-date documentation for relevant libraries and it gives you great current code. Alternatives examples include telling it that python now supports match case, and showing it the syntax expected for match case. It can then use this perfectly (though the current GPT line models know about match case, so no longer an issue)

I wouldn't call this learning, anymore than me knowing how to use a + screwdriver allows me to use a - screwdriver as well, but others might.

I'm not an expert in linguistics but I do know how my mouth and tongue works! I apologise that I can't give examples in Cyrillic.

This word is roughly pronounced "ick", "thee", "oh", "fuh", "thirius". The surprising thing in English is the ph-th bit - we only see that in Greek words and perhaps some Russian or other Cyrillic based borrow words.

When I look at it, we English use two letters for each of these phonemes: ph (fuh) and th (thuh). In Cyrillic I think you have a single letter: phi and theta (Greek) - I don't know the actual Russian names but it will be similar.

We can say fuh/thuh in a word as consecutive phonemes but it is rare.

> But what if each of the brothers have a different mother or father than the the rest of the group does?

Then the prompt would have said "half-brothers" or "half-sisters" instead of just "brothers" and "sisters".
Right. We were a third party to all of that, so I meant full text messages for Microsoft's customers. Even Facebook didn't do that.
Are the Linux package manager binary updates (meaning the file updates themselves) transactional somehow? What happens to running processes? Presumably they need to be restarted.

Just overwriting files does not seem sufficient, given my limited understanding…
This person makes some interesting points. We should hear them out.
I realize it's all just embeddings and probability blah blah blah... But this kind of meta prompting is really interesting to me. Can you ask a model about its weights?

I found the article I was referencing[0]

>> In summary, it is clear ancient people could predict timings for lunar eclipses and partial solar eclipses, but there is no convincing evidence of people predicting the times and locations of total solar eclipses.

>> Today, we don’t rely on calculating the orbits of the whole Solar System to predict eclipses. For example, NASA uses a highly advanced form of an ancient technique – pattern recognition. Using some 38,000 repeating mathematical terms, NASA can predict both solar and lunar eclipses for 1,000 years into the future. Beyond that, the Moon’s wobble and Earth’s changing rotation make eclipse prediction less accurate.

Wait. Are you saying that even if I disable notifications on my phone, the app backends will continue to send notifications to Apple and Google only to be ignored? If this is the way it is intended to work, I find that hard to believe.
The Graphics Module on Framework Laptop 16 has a USB-C display output on the back of it. The Expansion Bay Shell doesn’t, but it would be possible to create a card with ports on it (and we have seen some community members start on it already).
Same here. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to the Framework laptops.
Nothing is forever. PirateBay died how many times now? Less than Limewire, that's for sure.

The comment I'm replying to (your comment) says this:

> He's saying if you can't handle freedom of expression on the platform then don't use the platform.

Sounds like we are in agreement he is not saying that. He wants advertisers to use the platform regardless of if they can "handle it". And is indeed upset they are not.
You can render a video file as a volume. I've looked at using that to make a video compression algorithm that operated on the volume rather than on the 2D frame stream. My hunch was that shapes in the 3D volume changed more predictably than surfaces from frame to frame because the frames describe the movement of objects in space. But they're projected onto a two dimensional surface. So you get these interesting 3D shapes that have fairly predictable qualities across larger spans of time than your average 2D encoder sees while encoding a video. But I never could get it to work more efficiently than existing algorithms.

Still, it was a fun project.
It's on a site that's a social media site in that everyone there has an account, but it's more like a blog site. Those are the people she sees specifically, though it lets her know if non-logged in visitors visit as well.

As far as subscribing, it's like following, or an RSS feed. They just get notified when she posts. It doesn't show up on their homepage or anything, just gives them a notification that she wrote a new page.

The specific website is www.ameba.co.jp if you want to take a look.
When Apple did release period tracking it was way more feature rich than alcohol tracking. It was backed by research into the human body. It uses multiple data points to estimate a complex process that occurs in the human body, and present actionable information to the user. It’s not just a record book.

Alcohol tracking is a pretty view over a logbook. Date time quantity and that’s it.

Oh and since I know someone from the team that did this, I can guarantee you there’s at least one non “American male” that implemented it.
Just install ESPHome on it :)
Driving around the US I'd sometimes find restaurants attached to gas stations, and they kind of creeped me out, but unlike the one in the article they were always chain restaurants and seemed like tiny inferior versions of already inferior food only now in cramped/dirtier locations.

I'm also not brave enough to try the rotating hotdogs sold at gas stations and convenience stores. When I'm on the road, expected to be somewhere, and with occasionally long stretches of time between exits I really don't want to risk digestive issues.

My wife has a bunch of yet unconfirmed food intolerances, but her journey to work out what it is exactly has really opened my eyes to how complicated this is. To the point that I struggle to think a system as simple as you point out is feasible. Things like the ripeness of an avocado or banana can be trigger, or if a protein is seared vs boiled/braised. It's also not binary, a trigger won't always immediately cause a reaction. It's like the body has a threshold of a given thing it can process, and a half-life on how quickly it metabolises and can take on more. But that half-life itself is variable based on other things you're ingesting. So are you intolerant of bananas? Or is it actually amines and the reason you had a reaction is because you also had dark chocolate 4 days ago, and a charred T-bone the day before that? Or maybe it actually is the banana, or more specifically the chitinase in it. Let's test it by seeing if you react to a higher intake of green beans too.

Each time there's a reaction if you want to try an actually isolate the cause it's back to nothing but plain rice and boiled chicken breast for literally weeks. Then from a neutral state you can introduce the new hypothesis, but given the whole half-life aspect you need to work out whether it's a certain amount of that food over a certain amount of time. If you get a reaction, there's still probably two or more reasons why (e.g., amines vs chitinase vs potassium vs whatever) so now you start again to isolate that. And/or you still need to work out the interaction with other foods. Over and over it repeats. It sucks.

At some point you also want to actually enjoy your life and not spend years being a walking diet experiment.

You can try, but in general, this is less reliable. Prompt-based instructions to start or end a response with certain strings or templates are not, for any models, 100% successful in producing the requested behavior.
Quick question: What is a "gradient" in this context? Is it a file? Is it some state that is stored somewhere?

My understanding of ML is, I made what is basically a "Hot Dog or Not Hot Dog" image classifier and know what a neural net is.

The gradient for that simple neural net, was just found by running Adam an optimizer on the current batch, and then updating the model weights. So by "gradient" do you mean model weights?
From the other thread where this was discussed:

In the "Emergent Magnetic Charge" section, second paragraph:
"Finally, we emphasize that the observation of emergent monopoles is fully consistent with the modelling of AFM topological textures in Fig. 2 and does not violate Maxwell’s equation as they are, in fact, sinks and sources of the H^ field."

So this is a collective effect of a bunch of magnetic dipoles, and they go on to describe how div B is indeed zero in the material.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38549099

So this is not a Maxwell's Equations violation or anything, it's just some 'trick' to make a field that somehow locally looks divergent.
In that vein I agree, nation states are about control, and giving any control to people comes with risk. Personally, I would argue that if they can't trust their own people with basic computing power, it says a lot about the administration's character and capabilities to defend itself. Maybe don't piss off people who outnumber you and are responsible for the prosperity of the state? Royal "you", of course.

That's why I think we have to go the legal route, as little as I trust society and its policies, others do. We need to consider the personal use of property as an extension of the 1st amendment, at least in the States. If I purchase a computer, I should be able to do whatever I want with it, especially if I'm not hurting anyone or violating rights. Ownership needs to mean something, or capitalism's core tenet is lost and the veil begins to slip.

Building spying nanny chips and other "safeguards" are really just obstacles to ownership. It should be considered anti-consumer and a form of military-grade espionage. The John Deere escapades are a prime example of what will happen to general computing if we don't make some sort of effort to protect and enshrine computing freedom.

Maybe it won't be an issue and we'll be 3D-printing PCBs from open or patent-expired schematics so it won't matter. Maybe e-waste will be enough of a problem that there will be enough to hobble along until something bigger coalesces.

I'd rather not go on maybes though, and would rather vote for legislation that ensures the government will punish any business that sells me something and then tries to prevent me from exerting control over it as the owner. That is such obvious fraudulent behavior, there's no good defense for it. Business already enjoys the protection of copyright, trademark, and patent. An important aspect of business is actually parting with what you are selling, and giving up control.

The control is what is being bought!
Both can be, and are, true.

The Visual Editor works better now for its designed purpose than it did before, and rewriting Parsoid in PHP made it easier to deploy and maintain across projects (and in general Mediawiki). For editing text and non-templated content, which is the bulk of the work and the entry point for new contributors, it's matured into a useful tool.

The Visual Editor was also designed around English and European Wikipedia usage, and it still causes problems for other Wikipedia languages and for Wikimedia projects outside of Wikipedia. It has strong built-in opinions about the usage and design of skins and templates that other Wikimedia projects disagreed with.

And it's still frustrating as tech, both in bugs and by design, and especially when used in situations where wikitext editing is still common or required. It has caching and session bugs that either don't affect or aren't as destructive to other editing tools, or even pre-PHP Parsoid versions of VE. It still makes unnecessary wikitext changes — and arbitrary, if you weren't in the discussions where they were implemented or closed out as Won't Fix — to formatting and templates based on its own strong opinions. It breaks completely on interwiki redirects, a bigger problem for projects outside of Wikipedia than inside of it.

It's a useful, arguably invaluable, tool for new contributors that was badly designed at launch, has improved since, but is still fundamentally incompatible with many use cases into which it's been forced.
> I'd say it would make more sense to compare it with a fairly small ICE part, not with the much larger engine.

Why would size matter? Without a motor/engine a car goes nowhere. It makes sense to compare engine to motor in that context.

> But even that doesn't make much sense, because what happened is that he got a series of duds until they found the problem and fixed it.

14 duds in a row?

> Taking the average lifetime of a dud and a good engine, as you do, isn't going to tell you much about either of the two kinds.

You're right. But taking the 14 duds vs the usual 0/1 for a production ICE car going the same distance certainly tells us a lot.
There's no reason why English words couldn't be translated any better than Z11410, but now editors will have an extra layer of indirection.
The barrier to entry has never been lower. Last night I prototyped some code in Python on my Mac to talk to a Bluetooth peripheral, and then had ChatGPT translate it to Arduino C++ code for a $5 ESP32, and it mostly worked on the first go.

You can even run Python on microcontrollers these days. See Adafruit's https://circuitpython.org for which they publish modules for many (almost all?) of the sensors they sell. The modern microcontroller frameworks hide much of the complexity of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, filesystems, etc. so you can do complicated things with minimal effort. You can really cobble something together in an afternoon.

The "hello world" of microcontrollers is making an LED blink. Then figuring out how to print a message out over serial (print debugging is invaluable). Then maybe figure out how to make a Wi-Fi connection and an HTTP request. Then go on a shopping spree on Adafruit or SparkFun for $9 sensors that spark your imagination and figure out how to talk to them; Adafruit publishes zillions of tutorials you can copy from: https://learn.adafruit.com
Yes MXM has been abandoned by the companies that were originally driving it, though there is still some industrial usage.

One of the major issues with MXM is that it assumes the add-in cards stack on the mainboard, resulting in a thick system. We developed a custom module solution where the card and mainboard can be co-planar.
Thanks for the quick reply - very helpful answers!
Not a technical one. But are there any plans to make it available for the rest of us?
>That's why I'm always wary of people who hardly ever seem to stay anywhere more than a couple of years

Do have some empathy for when job markets or life make people move on. I'd like to stay at an employer for more than 1-2 years, but between the layoffs (avoiding them or getting laid off) or the need for a higher salary that often only comes from switching jobs, its not always possible to build tenure.

Frankly its a big issue in the industry at large. I hate interviewing etc. but I'm not going to get paid 20% less because of it. I had to ride the job hopping treadmill for awhile, and I'd like to get off it just as much as you'd like to see people have more tenure.

When I first started out though, I worked for 5 years at the same place until it was very clear I was going to cap out on being able to advance and merit increases of 3-5% a year aren't going to cut it.
> Splitting your operations into containers then breaks the monolith into microservice pieces and introduces all the downsides

A pattern here is to not split the monolith and use the same container for your main app and hot operations. The hot operations just need some different configuration eg. container args or env vars

Yelp is the gold standard in this regard, blithely pretending that they can't show you any photos (or is it more than a few photos? I avoid yelp on mobile so much I can't recall). It's probably the right move for them, because the photos are 99% of the reason I ever want to use Yelp. Reviews can be outright lies or simply written by people ~~with no taste~~ whose tastes are not simpatico with mine, but photos don't lie*.

The rules don't say explicitly that a reaction time of <100ms to the signaled start of the race results in disqualification but in practice that's been the case (see the DQ of Devon Allen in the world championship 110m hurdles in 2022 for one example). So add 100ms to that table of times/distances for a theoretical minimum achievable time.

(The rules do say that runners will be stopped and recalled if the reaction time limit is breached, which means that no race will actually happen in that case:

> 16.6 When a World Athletics certified Start Information System is in use, the Starter and/or an assigned
Recaller shall wear headphones in order to clearly hear the acoustic signal emitted when the
System indicates a possible false start (i.e. when the reaction time is less than 0.100 second). As
soon as the Starter and/or assigned Recaller hears the acoustic signal, and if the gun was fired,
there shall be a recall and the Starter shall immediately examine the reaction times and other
available information from the Start Information System in order to confirm which, if any, athlete(s)
is/are responsible for the recall.

Dual core RISC-V? Presenting ESP32-C6:

It consists of a high-performance (HP) 32-bit RISC-V processor, which can be clocked up to 160 MHz, and a low-power (LP) 32-bit RISC-V processor, which can be clocked up to 20 MHz. It has a 320KB ROM, a 512KB SRAM, and works with external flash. It comes with 30 (QFN40) or 22 (QFN32) programmable GPIOs, with support for SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, RMT, TWAI, PWM, SDIO, Motor Control PWM. It also packs a 12-bit ADC and a temperature sensor.

https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-c6

[The High Performance] CPU . . . has 4-stage, in-order, scalar pipeline optimized for area, power and performance. CPU core complex has a debug module (DM), interrupt-controller (INTC), core local interrupts (CLINT) and system bus (SYS BUS) interfaces for memory and peripheral access.

The ESP32-C6 Low-Power CPU (LP CPU) . . . features ultra-low power consumption and has a 2 stage, in-order, and scalar pipeline. [It has same features but lacks core local interrupts (CLINT)].

No, I would say 6.

By definition, there is exactly 1 (one) day. That's what tomorrow means :)

Your math would say zero.
>and there is no exemption to the DMCA for bypassing drm for personal or archival (unless you’re a museum) use

Sure, there technically isn't. But in reality, there's no practical way to enforce this without breaking much bigger laws. So very few companies care about some single person breaking DRM, if they are made aware at all.

The main exception would come from online games. But the "worst" retaliation you'd get is your account being banned. THey may not even bother sending a C&D despite companies technically being able to detect it unless you were cheating (which breaks the EULA, different from DMCA).
Don't underestimate the dynamic range of a modern wifi transceiver. It is transmitting at ~20dBm and will receive down to at least -80dBm. You need to achieve >100dB attenuation, well beyond what a microwave oven provides.

Even a solid metal box with a few small holes will struggle.
