It restricts the liberties of a driver, sure (though speeding is not permitted, so it doesn't actually restrict any rights) but enforces other drivers' and pedestrians' right to safety.

That said, I agree with current technology levels, I'd be more worried about how that goes wrong more than anything.
There are good indicators yes.

E.g. PSA (a blood value, easy to measure), if increasing very slowly over a long timeframe, is a good indicator that you may have cancer but that it is growing really slow, aka unlikely to be aggressive and to be an immediate problem. While a quick increase tells you the opposite.

Then there is DNA sequencing of cancer samples from a Biopsy. Which is evolving rapidly and should be soon cheap enough to be available at scale.
It's the curvature of the earth that changes local radius - greater at the equator, less at the poles. Hence the arc distance of a fixed angle changes also.

I believe you're thinking of distance between lines of longitude which converge at the poles and are at maximal seperation at the equator.

I was referring to the arc distance (surface distance) between lines of latitude which don't converge to zero but do get a little smaller closer to the poles (due to the lesser minor radius of the ellipsoid shape to the earth - oblate sphereoid, squashed sphere, not a perfect ball, etc.)

The article addresses this. There's some risk of misclassification, but the answer is the same either way: you monitor the condition carefully to see how it behaves.

The problem then is, if you rename the "grade 1" condition "prostate dysplasia", some fraction of patients don't do the follow-ups, and then those misclassifications are a big deal. But if you don't rename it, some fraction of patients get unnecessary treatment that lowers their quality of life.

So it's an interesting dilemma.
One of three things has to be true. Either:

a) this is false

b) perfect recall is false (ie. as the internal state is overwritten, you lose information about previous entries in the context)

c) the inference time scales by the context length.

It’s not possible to have perfect recall over an arbitrary length in fixed time.

Not hard. Totally not possible at all

That would mean you can scan an infinite amount of data perfectly in fixed time.

So… Hrm… this kind of claim rings some kind of alarm bells, when it’s combined with this kind of sweeping announcement.

It seems to good to true; either it’s not that good, or the laws of the universe no longer hold true.
Residential solar has one huge advantage over utility solar - RS lets people virtue-signal.

In other words, part of the payback/value is letting people say/think "I'm a good person."

We can argue about whether the additional solar demand due to virtue-signaling had good effects but it did produce additional demand.
We got Sunrun within the past year on a house we bought 1.5 years ago (so we're NEM 2.0 which is important).

I'm in San Diego, we were paying about 500/month for SDGE (fluctuating anywhere from 300-800 throughout the year, 800 because of gas prices last January).

We're paying Sunrun a fixed $300/month, with a 4% increase annually for inflation (presumably electricity prices will also go up during the same time).

Sunrun 100% paid for a main panel relocation required by our county to be to code, so we literally haven't paid for anything other than the 300/month bill.

So far I've only had a good experience.
Only tangentially related, but I highly recommend watching Veritasium's YouTube video on electricity if you're curious as to how Maxwell's fields create the current / amp abstractions in EE [1].

It's a common misconception that electrons or current transfer energy. In reality it's the electric field that exists between the wires that is doing the heavy lifting, the electrons in the wires are just controlling the field.

This has always confused me and I was very irritated when I first learned electromagnetics about how rote all the initial learnings are. I wish more work was put earlier into making everything relate back to Maxwell's equations to make it make sense.

This is like writing in general. It's easy to edit crappy text you've written into something better.

It's completely impossible to do it to a text you didn't write at all.

LLM models are pretty good in doing the crappy first version. It might use abandoned packages or old APIs but the skeleton is there. It's not that hard to add some meat on the bones when the structure exists.

Recently I had to parse a pretty crappy XML format (planned by committee) with Go. I just fed the XML to GPT4 and asked it to parse specific values from it. It got like 95% there. I just had to do a few fixes and polish it a bit. Saved me a lot of headache and poking around in documentation.

This is sadly some of the best advice you can ever give to someone in tech: never, *ever*, disclose the place you are going to. After the fact, when you arrive, sure, consider it. Eventually. But never before, and especially not before everything is signed and the ink is dry.

There was a definite shift in User Interfaces that we can associate with the huge influx of people from the advertising and media space in the ad-supported web.
Early web sites were mostly programmer affairs, with the ocasional designer to build a few assets here and there. UX people were mostly psychologists or even computer scientists that were more interested in arcane issues like accessibility and semantics, they didn't even call themselves UX, they were usability specialists.

Now UX is mostly a territory of designers forged intellectually in the media and advertising space. And this has spread even outside the web.

Yeah, UIs now look gorgeous, but a lot of times, the beauty comes at the expense of functionality and usability.

In any culture that is dominated by advertisers, form dominates function. Appearance trumps content.
I can't help but to see a parallel to the 90's crypto wars and end to end encryption debate. The technology and models to make these fakes is already out there and are freely downloadable by anybody, and unlike asbestos brakes or incandescent light bulbs it isn't going to naturally expire at any point.

Even if the most crippling legislation was passed to ban such technology from law abiding citizens, criminals would still have their E2E messaging and the deepfakers would have AI at their disposal. Hate to be a doomer, but the smoke is already out of the box, what can you do?
Is cervical dysplasia a deceptive term? CIN 3 dysplasia seems pretty close conceptually to grade 1 prostate cancer. There are doctors on HN, maybe one of them will set the record straight.

This doesn't seem like one of those things where public health officials are trying to mind control the public with terminology. There are precancerous neoplastic illnesses, and cancer is defined by the threat of metastasis, which is sort of exactly what you don't have with grade 1 prostate "cancer".
Huh? Where did I say I would have figured it out?

Albert Einstein was smart, and he definitely was smarter than me. But his achievements weren't beyond all the other smart people. Especially individually and with more time.

It is trivial to fine tune any model (whether a base model or an aligned model) to your preferred output preferences as long as you have access to the model weights.
>How do you know the intent of congress?

Have you read a bill before? Usually they state this upfront. They often name the bill after the thing they intend to address.

>Are you going to ask them about every ambiguity in a law?

Me personally, no. But people who are affected buy it? Yes. And that is a good thing.

>Why shouldn't experts in the relevant areas make their best determination?

Because, in this country, laws are not made by bureaucrats. Bureaucrats who get appointed by the executive branch, which is elected only once very 4 years. You see where I am going with this.

>Do you have examples you're concerned about where Chevron doctrine is a problem?

The two examples in the linked article are good enough. That you are asking this suggests you haven't read the briefs or listened to oral argument.

>Seems strange for these fisherman to sue for relief and suddenly agencies no longer have the ability to interpret the laws that apply to them.

Literally not what's going on here. If Chevron is torpedoed the agency discretion, that people like for reasons I don't understand, is now at the behest of Congress. If these fishermen win, it means that when congress writes laws they have to actually tell the executive what to do. Which is how it was supposed to be when this country started.

Some people like the idea of unnamed and unaccountable "experts" making their rules for them, but personally I much like the idea of those people not getting too big for their britches.
In my PPL training you either use the latitude-axis (X) on the equator only, which you will not have in your maps when flying in US or Europe. The alternative is to use the longitude axis (Y) which will always be 1° = 1 NM which can then be readily used in a "what is my groundspeed in knots per hour and what is my ETA" - so to the best of my knowledge you are correct. Then again I am no native speaker.

But it really helps you as in you are able to pick any distance you want to fly on the map and by moving your fingers to the Y axis roughly guess the distance within a few seconds. Even in a very small cockpit and with turbulence. So i absolutely see the need for this with relation to navigation.
Downvoted, because it's a very trolly way to ask this. Especially given the foundation doesn't have an AI safety policy from what I've seen. Let's be better than this...

One line of thought here is that maybe there do exist larger, more complex symmetry groups that can broken to create more complex "charge" particles (e.g. electric charge < color < something else < ...), but that the masses of particles involved are so large, their lifetimes so short, etc, such that we'd never actually observe them (or at least, we can't yet observe them) and that the more complex the group, the less relevant the physics actually becomes.

(Obviously I can't say whether that is true or not, but it might be a possible explanation of current observations).
It can come across as a superficial complaint about the article. But I'm not sniping at you; I'm saying: if you're not interested in reading this article, the summary probably isn't that much more interesting to you. "There was a big Mafia presence in MKE" is pretty much the whole takeaway, to the extent you don't enjoy reading true crime stuff.

It's more a reading-for-enjoyment kind of story than a trying-to-educate-you kind of story. The only thing you really missed was some potential enjoyment.
I use one from f-droid as well. But hundreds of millions of people are not going to even know that's possible. There will be no yes/no choice offered, e.g., yes to the security patches, no to the "AI". They will just get the "AI" nonsense in the update and it will probably be enabled by default.

How many people know to use different contacts app from the default one, so that neither the system nor apps can access their contacts.

How many know how to use an application firewall.

It should not be necessary to have do all this fiddling around. The defaults are all wrong. That's intentional.

Thank you for the comment. Everyone else is talking around the issue but you cut right to it, and did so very cleanly.
My problem is that the software industry has turned into a job-creation scam. The goal of developers and managers is to create as much complexity as possible in order to create as much work for themselves as possible.

If you got into this industry because of passion, this industry is going to be a real brainf**** and there's nothing you can do about it.

Just do it as a hobby and maybe work in marketing or sales where you just bullshit all day and don't have to pretend otherwise.

Or you can do what I did and just teach people how to code. I enjoy teaching young people how to code because they're always looking for the simplest way to get maximum results and this is precisely the mindset that is required to be a good software engineer.

I don't know why people lose this mindset over time, it's absolutely essential.
This take is completely wrong. Every quote of the SCOTUS justices is done to make a particular point. I would recommend that you go read Chevron, the amicus briefs, the oral argument, and then do the same for the current cases (there are two) for this round.

Currently the main policy is only around copyright - and nothing about AI safety: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/generative-ai

Also in the full power of opensource, if LF really force something the group disagree with, we will just fork

So I would not worry so much about that - the group already has a plan in event we need to leave the Linux Foundation - for example: If USA regulates AI training (since LF is registered under USA)
Yeah, admittedly I've used chatgpt for such things. That and resignation letters. Funny enough one of the team leads sent me a message over chat when I was leaving my old jobs, saying that he'd like to stay in touch with me cause we have similar interests and he really values me as a developer. He also used chatgpt for that message. How do I know? His English was insanely limited and couldn't have come up with such sophisticated words. Also grammar was 10/10. I laughed it off and moved on though.

But yeah, I abhor bureaucracy and trivial bs like the one you mentioned so I'm more than happy to outsource this issue to someone/something else.
Not trivial for the general public at all, and furthermore, you need much more memory for finetuning than for inference, often making it infeasible for many machine/model combinations.
With the training of AIs like copilot, it seems the copyright on software is inexistent.
It's not AS efficient, true, especially in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky, but it's not like it'll do nothing - and in the summer you get a longer generation period. You'll likely need more panels, but panels (should) be cheap, although in the US you seem to have high prices due to tariffs.

Do you mean, say, one device that's on Ethernet and one that's on WiFi? Most people have their Ethernet and WiFi setups bridged so they count as the same link.

If you actually mean two separate networks, where traffic has to be routed via the router... obviously there's a lot of ways of setting up firewall rules, and it depends on exactly what you want to do, but the simplest approach is to say "deny new connections coming in via the WAN interface". This will allow new connections going out the WAN interface, and also allow all connections between the two local networks in both directions, with no need to specify any IP ranges in the firewall at all.
Has anybody else noticed the map indicating that there are barely any fluent English speakers outside of the "English-speaking" countries? Or is the threshold for fluency so high that no place even in Europe except the Ireland and the UK qualify at all?
This is a good explanation for e.g. electric charge (which is scalar, just like presure), but color in QCD really is a bit more multidimensional in behavior where you can get things like red + green = -blue and so-on.
Most people making outrageous claims turn out to be hypocrites, so this fits the bill.
A pity that shady companies are ruining the solar industry with predatory loans when actually the solar panels are cheaper than ever and it's a great idea to install solar to help accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

Here in Germany we waste about 2.4 million hectares on „energy crops“. That’s enough to cover a large fraction of Germany’s primary energy consumption if it were used for solar instead.
Really not buying it. Especially when it is already tough to measure impact.

Launched a front page redesign. How do you measure this as positive? Amount of time customers spend on it? Could be a negative. Number of folks who convert from trial to paying subscriber? Objective, but not necessarily because of you. How about latency? Not bad, but what does X ms convert into Y dollars made more? Amount of time people spend "chilling"?

Now, start imagining the backend team out there responsible for closed captions. Not on a critical path for conversions, subscription upgrades, etc. How do you measure their impact? Surveys for customer satisfaction? Amount of text you can put onscreen? Accolades from an accessibility advocacy group? Amount of bytes needed to transmit text in the stream?
