You'd have to apply an adverse stimulus in under a ~5ms threshold to actions that were 'wrong'. It would depend on the exact task you're trying to do though. That would then cause other areas to potentiate that specific movement/firing as incorrect.

Its a active area of research in sports and DoD. As you'd theoretically be able to train marksmen and athletes at a much faster and better rate. However, even really really fast computers aren't quite fast enough to apply the adverse stimulus to 'wrong' movements/firing.

Also, your computer better be really accurate and never mess up, or that person is going to have a hell of a time retraining their brain. Also, their brain may view that the clouds/temperature/itchy grass/breakfast are the reasons for the adverse stimulus, as this is all happening at in subconscious time frame. So, good luck there.

The British did not invent the US Customary System. The US adopted the metric system decades before the British. The US already uses the metric system everywhere it matters so there’s no economic benefit to be gained.

I have been clear here. If you don’t get it that’s your choice. I encourage to you look into the history and reality of metrication globally and the difference between the imperial and US customary systems.

“Lol inches” is a cliche and ignorant take.
100%, anything outside of reducing IP rights is going to make this WORSE for artists, creatives and culture. Artists will campaign for the very expansions of IP rights that will make things so much worse. A world where styles can be owned and sold is not one I want to live in.
There’s zero evidence that there’s anything more quantum mechanical about the brain than a brick. IE: Physical and chemical interactions that emerge from quantum behavior, but can be modeled just fine without QM.

Wow, this is incredibly insightful! I'm completely on board, for whatever that's worth (which is pretty much nothing).

That would really be a great way to structure things.
In just the past two years it's gone from obvious horrors like hands attached directly at the elbow to much more subtle errors like chair legs that cross over each other like an Escher drawing or doorknobs adjacent to the hinges.

Human artists might have to become used to tracking provenance. If you work with traditional media, that's easy: Here's the painting. For digital artists, software can publish encrypted, timestamped brushstroke-level histories of the work if we need that level of proof.
It was never a standard to begin with.

Countries were refusing to use MS office because it didn't support open document standards. MS basically showed up to the spec committee with a bunch of MS Word documentation and said it was a new spec. It was flatly rejected, but then at the last second, a whole bunch of the committee changed their minds for no logical reason (I suspect they were simply paid off) and the "standard" was adopted.

Of course, it's impossible to write something compliant with their garbage and Office didn't comply with the "spec" in the slightest.

At the same time, MS refused to keep up with ODF standards in a massive case of malicious compliance.

In the end, it worked out for MS. They faked being open just enough for European governments to continue giving them huge piles of money for systems that are as locked down and proprietary as ever and consumers (like always) were the big losers.
Gitex is fantastic. I'm still using the 2x mono version on Linux.
Magit's failure mode is downstream of it (I believe) pulling in diff information on the status page. When I've had this problem, doing `git status` on the command line has always been more or less instant.

There is something inevitable about needing time to display a lot of information. But I think magit is eager in some places that lead to extremely costly magit workflows when the raw git workflow would be much faster.
Furthermore, what is the threshold for something to still legally be considered AI art once an artist's hand has modified it? What if they change the brightness? Fix a hand? completely replace a character in a scene? Illustrate most of the scene themselves but add an AI figure or background? Use AI to sharpen a hand drawn image?
No, boeing.gov, but rhetorically.

I don't see how they reached the conclusion that this list is "the training foundation" of Midjourney. I feel like this headline is misleading, perhaps even outright false.
Do you have one you'd recommend? Last I looked the Apple Watch was the only one people were reliably satisfied with, but I'm far enough outside the Apple ecosystem that I'd be missing a lot of the value people get out of them.

I am constantly on the look out for models/data sources that would give AIMD an advantage. I am sure others are too.
This seems like a really strange objection. It's one thing if this was directly harmful to any real human beings, but the alleged harm here is purely symbolic. There are probably religions in this world for which the mere fact of going to space or the Moon is sacrosanct - why don't we listen to them too? I probably feel more strongly about it than most, but superstitions shouldn't influence space exploration.
I see a lot of comments here criticising the post. May be my point of view is different on this, but I liked the post. It's raw and seems honest, like an un-edited version of a stream of thoughts (the author mentions he used speech to text).

The author may have been from a privileged background, but seems to have had his own struggles. I especially liked the following pieces:

>>>>>

1. I believe many young people struggle with the insecurity of being intelligent. They often feel the need to prove their intelligence by overthinking, excessively planning, and acquiring knowledge before taking action. However, this approach is a waste of time. The more you research, the more you realize how little you actually know. Instead, you just have to do it, even if you're scared.

2. Mike Tyson once said, "If you're favored by God, you're also favored by the devil." It's alright to strive for greatness, but it's equally important to choose goodness. Don't neglect your loved ones for work; time is fleeting. Appreciate people and sincerely express your love for them. Grief is the result of unexpressed love, and the key to avoiding grief is to love abundantly.

3. It is crucial to start practicing self-love. While successful people may attribute their success to their struggles, I believe a significant part of it is simply coming to terms with those struggles. Each person's pain is maximum to them. You have already endured hardships. Seek success because you deserve it and learn to love yourself, rather than punishing yourself for not being good enough.

Author here. Thanks a lot for the links!

I was actually collecting the relevant resources in another post I published yesterday: https://blog.kenanb.com/code/low-level/2024/01/07/x86-insn-e...

Intel XED was missing, so I just added that one as an update at the end, quoting your description.

I had a look at Intel XED earlier. I found it interesting but had difficulty navigating the sources. I will give it another try. Thanks!

Re SmithForth: I was just watching through the "Handmade Linux x86 Executables"[0] videos from the same person. Definitely super interesting series of work.

Same are these devices function, but Apple is paying for those who share their stories.
The worse the advice the more generic.

Generic advice sounds like: “to get good at golf … you really just need to hit the ball more. With the club.”

Nothing was said. Nothing objectionable. Mass audience can understand it.

That is roughly the quality of most advice.

The really good advice in my experience is never popular or even said out loud.

The really good advice would make you dislike the person saying it, usually.

Example: “if someone is doing something valuable but they are really bad at marketing, if you can get away with it, steal their idea and remarket it and go to market before they find out what you did.”

I have seen many people get rich doing that approach.

I have never seen anyone getting rich off of Naval threads.

Another piece of actual advice:

“If you want to get rich, form a private group chat with your friends and coordinate to fool the general public and trade insider information.”

Because that is what the rich people actually do.

Would you say that out loud? No, everyone would hate you if you did.

Or maybe …

“If you want to create a popular fitness channel, do a little steroids (you can take smaller amounts) and pretend you just exercise and eat the supplements you are selling a lot. And rent a lambo for $2K and stand in front of it for Instagram photos.”

Or

“Go on shady websites and pay an engagement farm from India to like all your posts so you seem popular.”

All the shit that actually works and people actually do no one ever says out loud.
With Magit I've found that you can just be faster. Nicer autocomplete functionality, quick access to flags when doing operations, being able to point your cursor at a commit and say "cherry pick _this_ please".

Less futzing around with copying around IDs and the such. I still need to know how to do most everything with git itself, but because I know that, I can rely on magit to just make it quicker for me to "do the thing".
I just checked and MLC Chat is running the 3-bit quantized version of Mistral-7B. It works fine on the 14 Pro Max (6GB RAM) without crashing, and is able to stay resident in memory on the 15 Pro Max (8GB RAM) when switching with another not-too-heavy app. 2-bit quantization just feels like a step too far, but I’ll give it a try.

Regarding credit, I definitely don’t need any. Just happy to see someone working on a better LLM app!
I have options on Carta from a prior employer that are going to expire in a few months because there's no buyer for them. If Carta is looking for some shares to trade without the owner's consent I wholeheartedly volunteer.

The priorities in that listing are just bizarre. What was the author thinking?
This is what happens when you have UI implementors who reject the last 20 years of UI progress.
I don't think it's the same this time. A mechanical knitting machine can be invented in isolation. Midjourney could not have existed without an extensive database of stolen art. Isn't that something worth fighting against, for artists?
At least with magit, I can look at the entire diff, then highlight specific lines, and stage those fairly easily. `git commit --patch` gives youhunks, but if you need to break those hunks up it's a couple extra steps.

GUI stuff is not necessarily about enabling new workflows so much as making workflows _very fast_ and less error prone. In theory at least.

> It is for the sake of copyright, if you want society to protect your work, provide evidence for your creative work.

I'm not sure if it's that simple - for one, this requirement is a complete departure from how copyright systems work now. Providing complete history logs isn't normal practice, and expanding law to necessitate it isn't common sense.

> Keep in mind that in the not so far future, producing art will be as cheap as consuming it, this means that the original benefits society got in return for copyright no longer applies, so why should they protect it?

I'll make a prediction that this future is further from now than you may think it is. Sure, things like static imagery may become completely indistinguishable from human-made art in the near(ish?) future, but the production of all art is still an unsolved problem. How long will it take until some advanced multimodal algorithm can make a full game that can measure up to ones that are released today? I'm guessing that it'll take a while.

And yeah - once we do reach this scenario of hypothetical "art post-scarcity", we may as well just delete the whole copyright system from existence - it'd be a logical thing to do. But how does any of it contradict what I said in my other comments?
This is fascinating to me. The list of things the author suggests the cerebellum handles is a tailor-made list of things I'm oddly bad at:

1. I'm very uncoordinated, with a noticeable intentional tremor

2. I'm particularly bad at sequencing dependencies for projects/errands/household tasks. I have to write down even fairly simple sequences of subtasks or get lost in yak-shaving loops

3. When flustered, I make very distinctive disfluencies in speech around conjugations (swapping "but"/"and"/"although") and sequencing (ie, placing objects before subjects/verbs) in sentences as well swapping relationships (referring to someone's parent as their child or vice versa, swapping "you" and "I/me", etc)

4. I tend to have a "ground up" approach to writing (building clauses first and then moving them around to construct sentences), which doesn't resemble the approach of other people I've shoulder-surfed.

All of these are fairly mild in terms of life impact, to be clear (or perhaps I'm just able to satisfactorily compensate for them in various ways) but I wonder if they all share some underlying minor cerebellar dysfunction.
Absolutely correct. This is a far more obvious problem in text models, because you end up with internally flawless arguments as to why your next scuba diving vacation should be in Ulan Bator.

With art, it's more subtle, because there there's no single reference point that lets us determine if an artwork is "true". There are the glaring errors that everyone can agree on - notoriously, human hands - but those cases are improving rapidly.
> The gap of being distinguishable from manually drawn images is still closing

People have been trumpeting this since day one of Stable Diffusion releasing, but I'm seeing the same output quality as that day and I've been keeping up.
(Just to clarify, I like the article, but it's a very weird myth.)

> It is widely accepted that academic papers are rarely cited or even read.

I never heard that. The article gives a good explanation of why the answer is "no", but for me it's quite clear. Most research groups continue a line of research and cite the previous papers, so they get at least one or two self cites. Also, many groups cite each other, to show that other people care about a similar topic, an perhaps it can be clasified as an unoficial tit-for-tat, so I guess one or two additional cites are common.

As the article explain (IIUC) the problemis that they are counting very recent papers that still have no cites. If a paper is published today, other research group may read it and take like 3 month to extend it and another 3 month to publish the new paper. So unsurprisingly papers in the last 6 months have no citations. In a 5 years window, it's like 1/10.

If you need to do the experiments in mice or humans, the time increase, so it may explain why biology and medicine have worse numbers.

And there are horror stories in math about reviews that lasted more than a year. So I'm surprise that math doesn't have the worse results.
They've asked the public in the area where it fell to keep an eye out for the door.

I wonder if there are any previously-known downsides to that particular window seat and if SeatGuru possibly saved someone's life.
You must be thinking of something else. Maybe the Mini? iPhone 13 Mini was discontinued last September.

1st generation SE had been discontinued long before the 2nd was released, but the 2nd was directly superseded by the 3rd, and you can still get the 3rd new, directly from Apple.
The end result of this will be end to end cryptographically authenticated pipelines. I'm sure Adobe will be very happy about having yet another way to extract money from artists.
It happens. Often incompetence is specific to one specialty - neurosurgery is competitive, so you can assume that anyone who gets it has at least adequate grades/test scores. But that doesn't mean that they're clinically worth a damn.

I'm an anesthesiologist. There are people who wash out because they just don't have the temperament for it. They're not dumb, they're not even bad doctors, they just aren't mentally equipped to sit back and relax while running a code.
I'm not really sure how you even describe those as choices, or why you think people are destined to eat junk food.

There are absolutely situations where economics or geographic limitations leave some with little choice beyond junk food. Beyond that, eating junk food is a choice. The beauty of choice is that we are offered the freedom to make it. Maybe you never want to eat junk food, or only occasionally, or maybe you really enjoy it and prefer to live on a junk food diet. Its a choice, and one that can be made today and changed tomorrow.

Viewing things like exercise and diet as a non choice is insanely dis-empowering. I want to know that I can choose to change if its important to me, I don't want to feel powerless to genetics or the society in which I was born.
> Creating a MAD SLBM force is still so expensive that nobody does it.

Not even the US? I was under the impression that the US had enough SLBM to implement MAD, so that the land and bomber-based forces were pretty much redundant.
Not disagreeing with this premise, but if Carta were implemented the same way with open source, nothing about Carta being open would have stopped the events from unfolding. It was a cultural and behavioral decision to abuse the platform's trust that way, not a technology one.
You raised an issue that I plan to fix soon. Currently certain fields (i.e. time range) only show on specific modules (i.e. calendar) but I'm planning to allow them everywhere.

Could you share your use case on embedding a single record? I disabled that for now because I imagined people would usually embed all records together in a certain view.

Hm I'll think about searching for blocks in autocomplete, or perhaps some way to use advanced search inline.

Your experience in offline mode was actually expected. I assume you never opened the other pages on your phone, so they weren't saved on your device. Nino's not syncing all pages all the time, but only the ones you open, for performance reasons. Do you think having some sort of mechanism to pre-sync certain pages is necessary?
The main source I've found for the December WotC layoffs is Christian Hoffer's Twitter[1] and only 3 of the ~20 people listed seem to be art staff.

Some of the lists, such as on Reddit, appear to (erroneously?) list a few artists who advertise themselves as still employed by WotC. [2]

Sounds like fun with a lot of bookshelves. I have a crazy long "to read" note file. It's not possible that I'm going to ever read all that. And that file grows of course. So that a better procedure is for me to poke around the list when I have incoming time availability and get one or two that interest me NOW. After that, public and university libraries around me are very good - instead of a pre-filled bookshelf.

For reference books, I have started keeping around textbooks. When I want a discussion of X, between the web and the textbooks, it usually works out. (And my public libraries mostly don't stock textbooks - never understood that - so I keep some paper there.)
Weird because all my metric tools were made in America. As you are already aware the US already uses the metric system. I don’t see the problem.
> drawn must have a full notary log of how exactly it was produced

I love when non-artists talk about art.
No. Source: bought the app.
Well in Europe, you pay about £23 per flight just for a carry-on bag and £30 per flight for a check-in bag so I'm not sure things are any different here.
You probably know this, but commonly you can exercise options and keep the underlying shares past the original option expiry date. (Of course, you need the cash—and confidence in the business—to do this!)
Most of the points here don't pass the sniff test to me.

The way the claims are worded makes it seem like they're comparing two extremes: completely separated (as in literally separate VMs/K8s clusters/whatever) infra for each customer vs completely shared everything. IMO a much simpler approach is 1 DB (and 1x blob storage space if required) per customer, with N application servers using the appropriate database required (i.e. using subdomain to differentiate the customers).

This massively simplifies security concerns compared to a shared-DB, and despite what they claim, it's easier to scale too, because you aren't trying to host a single giant database in one place - it can be scaled horizontally (effectively sharding by customer) both at the application layer and at the database layer, and outlier customers can be handled with even further dedicated resources if required, without needing some custom setup because it expects to be using one DB for all customers.
