I honestly don't know, but as more money would flow into the state and new jobs would be created then it certainly will affect the social dynamics in some form, possibly affecting also the issue you point out.

PS. If you can (e.g. you are an American) then please explain it to a non-American. I looked at the available statistics (deaths by police) and while the overall statics of Utah looks bad, there is also very small black population in Utah, meaning that even small level of serious criminal activity would easily skew the statics and indeed the number of killings by police is usually 1 in a year or even 0 as happened in 2016 and 2023 or 2013 and some extra bad year like 2018 will considerably affect the statistics.

So why is Utah notorious but for example Vermont or Oregon is not?

Of course to an European the number of people killed by police in US is simply mind blowing. But what is even more mind blowing is number of homicides, especially among young people, but (really) notoriously among black people. Close to 50% of homicide victims are black people but they only form 10% of the population.

It is even worse, much worse, when the statics is age and sex adjusted https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7226a9.htm

My sincere question is - why to focus on these 12 deaths over 10 years and not on all these close to 100,000 deaths?

Steam has a track record of continuing to provide games even if the publisher and developer both cease to exist.

On the other hand, I own Age of Empires 3 and Fallout 3 on Games For Windows Live. How do I play them now? (real answer: I've re-bought Fallout 3 on a Steam sale. But I shouldn't have to.).
Translations is a skill that no all bi-lingual people have. Most can hold a conversation, but that doesn't mean they can do a good translations.

A friend of mine was asked to translate in Church once, after wards he was told that polite people do not speak like that. (he really got fluent working as manager in a factory in a foreign country so you can imagine the language he learned from his peers).
Coming from AppKit/UIKit I tried to learn Qt and it was just awful. I hated how tightly coupled with C++ it was. Everything was based around subclassing and overriding methods, there was no way to just have a dumb UIView and set its frame and add a bunch of subviews to it. There was also no clean way to expose a C ABI to use a scripting language (with an FFI) to configure the UI easily

All of the Qt apps I know about (Ripcord, Dolphin) are fast but the aesthetics of the UI was just terrible. So I gave up on learning Qt. But this thing you made, Plume, actually looks good. If there isn't a monstrosity of hacks and boilerplate underneath this UI I might give Qt another shot. Otherwise I think I might just build my own thing from scratch on top of OpenGL or something....

I the Labour party were more like they were in 1983 I would vote for them! Not to the extent of abolishing the secret services, maybe, but definitely more control.

I there has also been a change of mindset. Politicians (correctly) recognize that these people are the experts, but they seem to forget that their job is to weight up these opinions, ask questions, consult other experts, and apply the subjective judgements required to make trade offs (in this case security against privacy).

No machine could have been invented without taking from the human work that came before it. Those people provided the inventor with a task to be done.

As they tell inventors, you can't patent an aim, only a method, and only for a time. Indeed, the aim is everything they mean to promote by patents... better, faster, cheaper ways of operating in the world.

I thank the artists for their aim. That some don't want what they were aiming at to fall into lesser hands tells me they never did art for the right reasons. The accolades becoming diluted is no tragedy.
Back in the mid 90s, I spent a full year migrating my company and ~800 users across six sites from Exchange to Notes. I had no experience with Notes, and absolutely hated it when I started the project.

After a year of hacking, learning from mistakes, and countless hours of RTFM, we got it done. Email, calendar, file shares all migrated, cross-site replication, and some really great new features added in with workflows. I was really proud of it.

As soon as the last migration wave was complete, I called my manager to let him know that the long-awaited day had arrived. Exchange was dead, long live Lotus Notes! Literally, during that phone call he said "Ummm. Yeah. We are going to migrate back to Exchange because of some M&A coming up."

I was not pleased.
> That's why I said Moore's law limping along.. it has slowed significantly, and the original transistor doubling every 18~24 months is definitely dead, but transistor processes are still improving, slowly.

What they're really doing is getting more power efficient. The "feature size" (number of nm) is fiction at this point. And the tricks they're using to eek out improvements at this point are, uh, interesting. Like they can't make it better without causing errors to occur so they just do that anyway and cover it up by using more error correction. It's really not obvious how much more of this there is to be found.

> The trade off is always there, but more people are using their phones over their desktop computer these days.

That isn't exactly true. The growth in the number of people with a desktop computer has leveled off, but it hasn't really gone down, and the things people use them for are still the same things. If you're going to write a long document, you're going to want a full-sized keyboard. The GPU needed for modern AAA games isn't going to fit in a phone. Professional activity that requires a lot of computation, like compiling code or editing video (or, going forward, a lot of this AI stuff), is a lot faster on a high-power device with more CPU or GPU cores.

What actually happened is that at least the same number of people still use a desktop computer, but now everybody has a phone, including the people who traditionally had a desktop (and still do). So more people have a phone than have a desktop, but not because fewer people have a desktop.

And it would be hard for some new technology to do the same thing to phones because nearly everybody has a phone. A new device can't have 20% more users than phones do when 97% of people have a phone.

>Compensation is a vector.

This misses the point. To go along with your terminology, the problem is that the norm of the vector isn't large enough.

But calling it a vector in the first place is pretentious and unnecessary.

I think that hardware will adapt to serve the need. Might not look like AI accelerator cards like 3D accelerator cards in the 90s but I think compute will be carved out just to do on device llms. 7B param models are already really fast on CPU and memory on a pretty normal system, you could probably come up with a technique to do good character dialog with a 7B model.
> I think the jury is still out whether it'll actually lead to significant energy savings.

In Finland you can get an electricity contract that follows the hourly spot prices. Usually the hourly prices varies in the range from 5c to 20c/kWh, but sometimes it jumps up to 40c, even 80c/kWh. The record was 2€/kWh for a couple hours in one day.

Current hourly prices for today and tomorrow:

https://oomi.fi/en/electricity/electricity-contracts/active/...

People who have chosen this kind of contract, usually reduce their consumption during the ridiculously expensive hours, which usually occur when there happens both low wind energy production, and simultaneously some power plant being offline for maintenance.

You can also get a contract with a fixed price, if you want.
> "Independent Polling" of people living under a repressive regime appears to be 100% impossible to me.

In Russia, it seems to be promoted a culture of ratting those who are against the government, which is also very common in these regimes - and that has a very deep scarring in societies that go over it.

I'm from Portugal and to this day there's still a cultural undertone of not ratting anyone to authorities, even if it is something that's hurting you or everyone, all because of the disgust and hate towards those who ratted people to the government police.

During our dictatorships, there were also the same theatrical displays of polling, voting, having opposing candidates approved by the state, etc. Salazar was always the man of course.

It's impressive that Russia still hasn't had its societal reform away from dictatorships in the XXI century. Sadly we're now paying the consequences of it, but it might be closer than we think!

Are we at or approaching the point where people can self host an useful LLM for personal use on affordable hardware?
I think that there are two cases of practical importance, which have incompatible requirements.

The first case is where you have a N-dimensional vector space where all dimensions have the same units. The standard example would be the Newtonian 3D space. Depending on what you are trying to do, you can view it as a collection of coordinate-free abstract vectors, as a triple (x, y, z) of real numbers, or as an array X[i] of three coordinates in a given basis. In this case I would agree that X[0], X[1], X[2] is better than (x, y, z), the order matters, and you can define the Jacobian is a 2D array that represents a certain abstract derivative in a given coordinate system. I would argue that the formalism of Sussman and Wisdom (which they got from Spivak) is totally adequate to this case, and perhaps even the best possible.

The second case is the one of the Lagrangian that parent mentioned, where L is a function of the triple (t, x, v). You could pretend that (t, x, v) form a vector space, but this definition won't get you far. I would regard (t, x, v) = t * (1, 0, 0) + x * (0, 1, 0) + v * (0, 0, 1) as meaningless because it is adding time, space, and velocity. You cannot really do rotations or general linear transformations in this space. You can define a Jacobian matrix if you want, but now all entries in the matrix have different physical units. In this case I would say the fact that v is the third element of the tuple is irrelevant, and that the tuple is better regarded as a map from symbolic names "t", "x", and "v" to real numbers. I would argue that the Spivak formalism is inadequate in this case, and it seems that many physicists on this thread think the same for essentially the same reason.

This difference is kind of analogous to double X[3]; vs struct { double t; double x; double v; }; From one point of view they are the same, but in practice they have totally different meanings.
Look at the history of posts of that person. They seem to be excited by triggering people.
That is the theory - only in my experience the reality is quite different. Employees do not bother to classify incoming emails as confidential or internal. So everything gets sent to the cloud.

Also, having servers in the EU helps to fulfill some regulations, it certainly cannot prevent that your customer data gets exposed.
Three Questions with Teenage Engineering Founder Jesper Kouthoofd
To be fair, the author does link to that study in the first paragraph of this piece, and then adds some context about languages near the end:

“But while the English-language web is experiencing a steady — if palpable — AI creep, this new study suggests that the issue is far more pressing for many non-English speakers.

What's worse, the prevalence of AI-spun gibberish might make effectively training AI models in lower-resource languages nearly impossible in the long run. To train an advanced LLM, AI scientists need large amounts of high-quality data, which they generally get by scraping the web. If a given area of the internet is already overrun by nonsensical AI translations, the possibility of training advanced models in rarer languages could be stunted before it even starts.”
Natural joins also automatically break your queries when two columns happen to share a name but not the same meaning.

I don't know if that kind of syntax used for function captures exists in other languages but I really like it, it's really intuitive.

What are you saying?

Of course it's subjective, e.g. 3 million years ago there were no 'different implications' whatsoever, of any kind, because there were no humans around to have thoughts like that.
Public services will eat millions and barely do anything with the money except line people's pockets. For some reason it's just more expensive when the government does it.
Actually, lots of people were talking about it, and lots of people at big companies like Facebook were excited when Google added it behind a flag. Shopify even rolled out JXL to their storefronts not long after JXL was added to Chrome.

> Note how noone is asking Mozilla why Firefox won't support it or actually building websites using it.

People do ask why Firefox isn't supporting it, but the answer is obvious: because Chrome dropped it, and Firefox has what, 5% market share?

And people do use it on websites, you just didn't notice because companies like Nike don't tend to write up blog articles about how they're using a cool new image format.
I've been wishing I had better documentation of earlier experiences and have started building a personal store for this. Sort of like an external memory palace since I can't seem to make my meat brain comply. Sometimes I just need a pointer to that memory to retrieve them and these pictures and documents help. Need? No. Will it make me happy? Maybe not. Interesting? I think so.
Notes and Domino peaked in 2000. It somehow managed to balance the many needs of a business, including the email stack, workflow, database, and configuration, into a distributed platform that was comprehensive and at the time, clearly superior to Exchange/Sharepoint. The architecture was elegant but required a major improvement in 2000 due to performance woes and a web server that had been grafted on. Unfortunately IBM attempted to migrate all Lotus and Domino users onto their Websphere platform, which, despite engendering a worthy IDE (Eclipse), was in no way a true replacement to Lotus Notes/Domino. Microsoft also mustered all their uncompetitive practices of the day to destroy this rising threat that at the time had more business email accounts than Exchange. A real shame, because Sharepoint was an absolute dumpster fire in comparison.
> If a hiring organization doesn't bother to assess that now, why would the above-proposed change make a difference?

I think the answer is in the question, and boils down to: the proposal is to change the status quo. Changing the status quo here means that organizations not doing these assessments are responsible for doing so going forward.

It’s reasonable to think that an organization in the current environment is not focused on such assessments because the system is supposed to be handling this (I’m not saying this should be considered sufficient). A change that involves shifting the burden necessarily means a change in the status quo of hiring organizations regardless of their past practices around assessing candidates.

To your point, setting the expectation that the hiring organization is responsible for assessing incoming candidates is part and parcel to the broader idea. The operating environment would no longer look like the current one, and would necessitate additional steps by hiring organizations. Not taking those steps would result in poorer and poorer quality hires.

Bringing this full circle, I think it’s worth pointing out that the place this started from is: teachers who did not complete a specific training requirement are as effective as those who did. At the very least, this seems to indicate that completing the specific training requirement is not a sufficient assessment criteria, and is presumably not helping organizations bring in better people. At the same time, the requirement does reduce the pool of available candidates, with seemingly no positive effect.

At least for this particular school example, in a worst case scenario, organizations that change nothing are no worse off than they already are. The training requirement isn’t acting as a differentiating criteria, which means that the organization is already the most impactful decision maker. The proposed change just formalizes the idea that completing a specific curriculum is not by itself a good indicator of future success. Organizations relying on this signal are not worse off if it’s taken away because it never indicated much to begin with, if the data are to be believed.
If it were just about entertainment I'd agree with you. What I'm trying to protect is dissent.

> Where I struggle is coming up with an affirmative argument that an artist should benefit from automation of medicine or farming, but that an alienated lab tech or food factory worker should not benefit from automated art.

> Another way to look at this is: the less you pay for art-as-entertainment, the more resources you have to buy free time to produce your soul-work (whatever that may mean to you).

Ah, yes. The alienated workers of the world will warm their weary souls at the hearth of derivative algorithmic creativity units. The reduced price and efficient delivery of each drone's creativity units will obviously give them more free time.

Perhaps we can even come up with a pill that'll let the drones feel entertained without any content at all. If the side effects are well-tolerated, they can take it before work.

Of course, for someone so well-known, it's easy just to look it up; I was just using that name as an example. But in general, particles in names like "van", "von", "de", etc. might be properly capitalized one way or the other, and it can be impossible to tell which without a close understanding of the author's nationality (which in turn can very difficult to determine).

I absolutely love this take! My personal quirk is to be "phone free": I don't carry a cellphone. I have one, but it stays at home, plugged in. I only take it with me if I have to take a flight. On most days I only carry a Moaan ebook reader (the size of a phone) or a Bigme (the size of a tablet).

No phone is nice for concentration (reading a book), but the lack of distraction goes both ways: no notifications/email or apps to waste my time, and also no possibility to take a picture to waste my consciousness of what's happening!

I think the lack of pictures make me experience the moment more, with my eyes: I can always check the pictures other people will have taken on their feeds, later. For something like a new year countdown, there'll be multiple versions available.
