Thats the point, the power will be abused. Free markets subvert toxic heirarchies and inefficient industries, thats how america was designed to work, private capital formation and the ability to compete freely. When you need to resort to political means to achieve your ends you violate peoples rights, those rights are considered above the authority of the government.

> And government should only have as much power as you think the worst possible people in charge should have.

That doesn't make real sense to me, because that means that government is impossible. I prefer the idea that "desire for office should be disqualification for office."
Decimation was a punishment usually reserved for open rebellion and similar capital crimes. So if soldiers took up arms against Rome they’re not really their own soldiers anymore.

Not an excuse but decimation wasn’t a light punishment.

EDIT: the cases subcomments mention fall under the banner of "desertion" and/or refusal to follow orders (essentially rebellion), which, even in modern armies, carries a stiff penalty. Not quite decimation but its a serious crime.
There are supposed to be huge updates to siri this year. So lets hope they don't mess up this function.
You do, actually: feed it to GPT-4 several times in different sessions. When it hallucinates, translations come out obviously different. When it actually knows what it's talking about, they'll match except for minor things like word order and synonyms.
Because it's done. It would have been lovely is Keir had been the leader instead of Corbyn before it happened, then taking a principled stance could have made a difference. Unfortunately the past is what it is, and now Brexit is a political third rail for a party that's looking to cruise into a historic victory over the Tories.

The Tories have been so incompetent, unloveable and at times criminal that they've alienated a shocking number of British voters; the polls are predicting a slaughter. So all Labour has to do is... not screw up.

That’s why I find the big tech pivot to AI so frustrating. There’s more to AI than LLM and Google and others had all the time in the world to make that. It took someone like OpenAI to show them the error of their ways.

Many differences between the US and EU, not just workers benefits.

IMO, more likely to affect startup company success in becoming big:

- One common language, one culture, one currency across the US (sure, differences between states in culture but not as diverse as in Europe). This is gradually converging via the EU, but the US has a couple of centuries headstart...

- VC funding concentration in California (think about how many of those "US" companies are from California); VC investors in US are global names if you work in the industry, in EU they are regional names.

- Generalising a bit here, but from my experience, I find work/life balance generally considered more important in EU compared to US. In the US, work is given a higher priority and if your boss asks you to stay late/work on a weekend, many colleagues in the US would do it, European colleagues would put e.g. family first instead.

- Side note; work/life balance point can be reflected in terms of national culture, e.g. "The American Dream"

I know countries are different, but there are many people who are pro severely minimal government in the USA.

And it does not seem so unlike the initial intentions for the country either.

If you frame it as anarchy it sounds like screaming chaos. But consider for a moment that the vast majority of laws that exist that are enforcable now only recently came to be.

Humans can also be held accountable for fuck ups, which makes them less desirable therefore less likely. A bot doesn't care about this.

There isn't much point. I don't know an application where other approaches wouldn't be superior.
The screenshots shown in my post were from an older version. The current version should work correctly.

The purple tint was coming from naïvely multiplying the red and blue channels by 2 to try and compensate for the fact that you have half as many subpixels of R/B to work with as compared to the green channel. My new approach cuts the maximum green brightness (after converting to linear gamma) instead.

> soulless portfolio managers

Only soulless people hire soulless portfolio managers.

A portfolio manager, like a lawyer or attorney, is really specific and takes a lot of selection. People choose intentionally.

Madoff didn’t work with 401ks. No one had their 401k funds with Madoff. It was all rich people using private hedge funds. Also, Madoff was a fraud, not an asshole.

It’s very different to harm people with adware infected, terrible apps than to run a Ponzi scheme. Madoff deceived his investors. Bendingspoons says exactly what they’re going to do and then does it. They aren’t deceiving anyone.

The jerk stockbrokers are all demand side. If people weren’t jerks they wouldn’t hire jerk stockbrokers. It’s a thing because people want it.
LLMUnity: Bringing Advanced AI Conversations to Your Favorite Games
Eh. Nah, probably not. Proof-of-work energy waste with cryptocurrencies is a problem specifically because of its scale, and the relative worthlessness of the activity.

Human basal metabolic rate is around 100W. Actual energy use per capita averages up to 10,000W, depending on how wealthy and boreal you are. If you want to count "energy waste", a successful DDOS costs each blocked user multiple hours, at multiple kilowatts.

It's no more a waste of energy than using advanced video encodings, or running `bcrypt` on passwords. The energy cost is comparatively miniscule, and it solves or mitigates other problems.

50% of my retirement funding is in Australian mining. Is it sustainable? Is it good for the environment? Is it an industry known for ethics?

No, no, and no.

Will they stop mining if no-one holds their public shares? Lol, no, lots of privately held mining companies exist who tend to perform even less ethically.

But a free market cannot exist in the absence of regulation, and regulation is a form of government.

No evidence is provided in the article that the putative "content-moderation crisis" it names is anything other than wishful thinking on the author's part.
I've only seen it used for static environments/objects but no animation/dynamic objects

I could imagine a hybrid approach of doing the environment with this but other things rasterized as normal and comp'd on top

The big problem though is that the workflow/format is completely different from how current 3D games work so you'd need a lot of custom engine work

I don't really get it it. Making it quiet relies on making the fuselage thinner. Thus making it even less appareling for commercial aviation. Supersonics already have a small cabin and high fuel use.

For military jets this doesn't matter that much. And I don't really see what it changes for commercial.

Seems like cool tech, but I don't get why this plane has received so much attention and funding and the research on electric airplanes has been mostly dropped.

Maybe they realize that blocking ads punishes content creators and they are against that?

The reason we can have content that is not AI-generated junk is that someone somewhere pays for it. If everyone runs uBlock then ad revenue will go to near zero and the only content worth posting will also have to cost nearly nothing. We'll be swimming in nothing but AI-generated spam.
Ah, good to know, I can see the gamma compensation in the green division. fwiw you should probably also convert to linear before doing the bilerp, and back afterwards, but that matters comparatively less.

I think it's a sign of what's to come. A world where many things are done so shoddily and with such little regard that it becomes nearly impossible to navigate. You sift through a pile of crap trying to get basic shopping done, descriptions that are wrong and nonsensical, fictional product photos that are useless to judge scale or fitness for purpose, etc. When you finally find what you need, you end up receiving the wrong item because no one in the supply chain gave a shit. You try to get this resolved, and are bounced around a series of half-broken customer service bots. It's difficult and expensive to find alternatives who do give a shit, because the automated companies have driven prices (and quality) into the ground, and it ends up being cheaper and easier to let it go and try your luck again.

I don't know if that will come to pass or not, I sure hope not, but I think it's a real possibility and that things like this are the early warnings.
> it's a feature

It seems awfully dysfunctional for a country which would like to portray itself as subject to the rule of law (although dysfunction may count as a feature, depending upon one's politics?).

Luckily, legal emigration is still possible (or at least was, back when I did).

I'm surprised at the concept of re-reading non-fiction, but it sounds like a good idea.
There is also powerlessness in front of change (that hit every other EU country, save maybe the nordic ones) and the feeling of declassment, that you're not middle class anymore.

The UK might feel it more the last one than other EU countries though. I only went to Leeds and London, but the build quality of non-bourgeois houses is not good, almost US-grade imho (not a dig: you don't need good windows/insulation/coating when you're living in California, you do when you're in the UK). Which is a problem when the house wasn't refitted in 50 years.

It's not ultimately the EU fault, but it failed to uphold the promise of citizen protection and growing together at the same pace. Also, Brexit made EU a lot more resilient and refocused on citizen/consumer protection (despite the "but think of the children" crowd trying its utmost to pass the dumbest laws in the world).

1. We don't have a public plugin API yet, but we will in the future. Our (internal) plugins are represented as custom elements: Python writes the HTML (e.g., `<marimo-vega ...>` and the frontend instantiates it. In the meantime, maybe we can help you port your table widget and make it a marimo plugin. You can reach us in our Discord (https://discord.gg/JE7nhX6mD8) or at Github.

2. marimo was built from scratch, it doesn't depend on Jupyter or IPython at all.

3. marimo doesn't interact with the Jupyter ecosystem. We have brainstormed the possibility of a compatibility layer that allows Jupyter widgets to be used as marimo plugins, but right now that's just an idea.

And of course, like when China banned mining, they would simply pick up shop and move to another country. One with fewer regulatory risks.
For suppliers, it's a valid question, and it gets more valid every year as the cost of doing business with big B spirals. Thing is, it's just so much damn money up front, that the guys up in Mahogany Row don't really care about follow-on costs, like having to support Boeing staff who don't know what a scroll wheel on a mouse does. Now, though, with (another!) active investigation, possibly one where Boeing loses their in-house DERs . . whew, who knows.

From the DoD perspective? It's not really possible for DoD to offload Boeing. The old airframes - F-15, F-18, 7X7 derivatives of all flavors - are the workhorses of US jet aviation . . or they are perceived to be the workhorses, in any case.

Ah, "perceived" . . there's a huge, ginormous other subject here, and that is the subject of a peacetime military. Specifically, whether the metrics we optimize for in peacetime have any bearing whatsoever when it comes to a hot war with a peer. History says, "nope!". Tech and metrics optimized in peacetime buildups almost never have decisive roles in major conflicts, for somewhat obvious reasons: the enemy sees it coming. Everyone's got countermeasures ready to go before shooting starts.

The victor - the technological victor, which doesn't necessarily correlate with the winner - is the one that adjusts fastest to combat experience. That industrial agility is really the thing that needs to be optimized. Trade offs of course are aplenty here; if you adjust hardware too fast, you damage your production capacity and your logistics. Case in point: the US in WW2 were probably one of the slowest-adjusting of the Powers, technologically speaking, but none of that mattered a good god damn when US industrial capacity was greater than the rest of the planet combined. Combining capacity/readiness with agility is the magic bullet. When historians say the T-34 was the most effective armored fighting vehicle of WW2, that's what they're talking about. It obviously wasn't the best, or even a good fighting platform, but it matched Soviet industrial capability to a T while effectively countering the enemy. It was the best design for the system it was part of. Internet people get in terrible screaming matches about this, not realizing that mil historians evaluate systems, not hunks of iron.

Anyway, I'm rambling now. Short answer, yes. Tons.
I have the opposite experience with Google Now, it is useless and showing me mostly irrelevant information.

Also, I posted this regarding national security status for cloud provider's infra: [0]

In the increasingly interconnected global economy, the reliance on Cloud Services raises questions about the national security implications of data centers. As these critical economic infrastructure sites, often strategically located underground, underwater, or in remote-cold locales, play a pivotal role, considerations arise regarding the role of military forces in safeguarding their security.

While physical security measures and location obscurity provide some protection, the integration of AI into various aspects of daily life and the pervasive influence of cloud-based technologies on devices, as evident in CES GPT-enabled products, further accentuates the importance of these infrastructure sites.

Notably, instances such as the seizure of a college thesis mapping communication lines in the U.S. underscore the sensitivity of disclosing key communications infrastructure.

Companies like AWS, running data centers for the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC), demonstrate close collaboration between private entities and defense agencies. The question remains: are major cloud service providers actively involved in a national security strategy to protect the private internet infrastructure that underpins the global economy, or does the responsibility solely rest with individual companies?

Taking an argument to it's logical conclusion isn't "falling apart". The best scenario for governance is anarchy; ideally we could all just do what we want. It is a tautology that anything we're forced to do by the police is something we don't think is a good idea/in our interests.

The problem with anarchy is that it will get toppled by a group - probably internally to the society - that is organised and forms a standing military. Organised factions tend to grow. The US is creeping in the same direction as a group like the USSR or China - an overdeveloped and too-powerful central bureaucracy - but much more slowly because it started from a well designed system with lots of checks and balances. But just because centralised power tends to be stable doesn't mean it is good, decentralised power is much more pleasant to live under.

So the ideal government is anarchy, the practically ideal government is as close to anarchy as we can get without being destabilised by a military, and the reality of the situation is militarys form and tend to move away from anarchy towards tyranny. But that doesn't make them good.
Sounds to me like a silver bullet idea. "LLMs will make it good".

I don't think voice is a good interface. "It chats like a human" is the lowest possible hanging fruit in terms of product design, and bets everything on the smarts of the tech that's behind it.

We are so used to tooling faster than voice. Keyboards and taps are very, very fast. I want digital assistants as smart AND as fast as that, not something smart but incredibly slow to interact with because it needs to dumb itself down to human speech I/O.

To me, this is also not about modality or making it more generic. I just don't want an anthropomorphized smart-ass assistant. I want smart tools that actually assist me directly, no chat.
You are encouraged to read deeper about the end of WWII. If anyone sacrificed the people of Hiroshima, it was the Japanese Imperialist Government that refused to surrender despite the obvious obliteration of their conventional forces.

To make it brief, every single landmass occupied by Japanese forces and civilians offered fierce resistance/guerilla warfare to invading/liberating forces. Additionally, as another commenter has noted, the Japanese military had significantly increased their numbers to a staggering 6 million troops towards the end. The death toll projections, based on the above, for a mass land invasion of Japan were many factors greater than the life cost of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined - many, many factors greater.

The Japanese government did not just refuse to surrender, but continued to wage war. This meant either a land invasion, or some alternative were necessary to compel the government into surrender.

Dropping the second nuclear bomb accomplished this goal - particularly when accompanied by the (empty) threat of dropping many more until surrender.

It also should be noted both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were central to the Japanese war economy/machine and were not simply civilian population centers. Regardless, the loss of life directly from the bombings and indirectly from the aftermath is still calculated to have been significantly less than the loss of life had a ground invasion been waged.

Most modern technology is derived from military research.

Do you feel bad every time you use a microwave? It was originally a military radar. Without military funding, it would not exist in its modern form. Nor would basically all radio communication technologies, satellites, spaceflight. You get the idea.
Like everything, it's a trade-off. You get money; you lose control. You get to decide whether you feel like that trade-off is worth it.
