Sounds like you can theoretically do the old Xbox game pass trick of loading up Gold and then upgrading.

£25 for an annual standard plan, and then upgrade to Ultra. First 2 months free, so potentially 14 months for £25 (then £18.99 a month after). No idea if this works in practice!

"If you upgrade, your plan will be active immediately, and the remaining time on your current plan will be credited towards your new plan."

Oh that sucks... John was instrumental in the success of ww.com, thanks to him we had speakfreely as the audio layer using the GSM encoder.

His 'digital imprimatur' was as prophetic as much as it is still relevant today, well worth reading:

iTunes is sticking around on Windows but will just be for audio books and podcasts? That’s absolutely bizarre.
404 too, and if you add /u/xxxx then you get: Gemini is currently unavailable. Try again in a few minutes.
That appears to be the VirtualBox OSE license, copied from the original Oracle package, not the license for this specific release. It’s unclear how this new derivative or work is licensed.
The out-of-the-box performance of Windows in VirtualBox is very good and usually better than virt-manager (Qemu). You can tune Qemu to great performance as well, but it takes some fiddling. VirtualBox is in general very user friendly.

Guest integration (drag'n'drop, clipboard), USB passhthrough and audio support is also top-notch in VBox.

Clearly Gemini Ultra isn't webscale. They should have used NodeJS to serve their 1TB.

> Or maybe it’s part of the “Stalin wasn’t so bad” nationalist revisionism that has been building in Putin’s 21st-century Russian Federation.

Putin himself seems to deplore Stalin; I think partly because it was Stalin that made Ukraine a soviet republic distinct from Russia. It's quite odd; Putin seems to be the most Stalin-like leader Russia has had since - well, Stalin. I have no way of knowing what ordinary Russians think of Stalin; I've not seen a Levada Centre poll on the question.
There was a RUSI [1] paper near the start of the war in Ukraine that pointed out that there wasn't nearly enough ordnance production in NATO countries. The one area that was in good shape was 5.56mm production, helped by the civilian "assault rifle" culture in the US using it.

So can this run/import existing vbox VMs?
a bit off topic, but the global cultural impact of Frozen on kindergarten girls is absolutely insane. we all have memories of whatever the trend was when were a specific age, but nearly every 3-6 year old girl on the planet knows everything there is to know about the Frozen universe and had managed to get hold of some piece of merchandise (even if it's only a hair clip). And it's been like that for the past 8 years!
I was able to sign up for the trial, but the page on which I would actually use gemini is a 404.
What do you mean you are returning it? It has been used already.
Unreal have much more reasonable revenue model. And it is not going anywhere. Unity on other hand shot their own foot off with model they presented.
This has the same pattern as the Vivendi deal with Blizzard back in 2007.

In both instances, the game end of the deal had peaked already, and there was nowhere to go but down. Nothing a few billion dollars can’t fix, maybe some “new content,” says the business guys.

Meanwhile their product becomes worse by the month. The magic is fading. All the people who made it great move on, not wanting to deal with the business parasites who showed up to squeeze a buck. Repeat.
On the https://one.google.com/about/plans page they named the subscription AI Premium. It's the same as Premium, but you get access to Gemini Advanced too. However I'm not sure where you can use it at the moment. Maybe just Bard?
Don't forget eForth, which I believe is a better, and more "Forthy" implementation than JonesForth is, though not as easy to understand for a newcomer.

Even if ukraine had kept their nuclear weapons and processed them into something useable, would that really have deterred russia? And who knows, I wouldn't be surprised if they have nukes again, or are working on a bomb. They certainly have the know-how and access to fissile material. Not that that would help much...
In an off-grid situation you run the panels through a fairly straightforward battery charger, and you never let the battery be depleted all the way so a blackstart situation would normally not occur. That's an indication that something went terribly wrong in managing your battery, it likely would damage the battery beyond recovery.
Seems to be a lot of dead-ends (I only have a GSuite account via work, and cannot view the page without a Google account, and it doesn't seem to work with a GSuite account).

Considering that each time you are driving your it costs money to you and the society and reduce your health and life expectancy unless you exercise separately, that cycling and walking improve your life expectancy while saving money to both you and the society, and that a 12 minutes drive can't be much more than a 40 minutes bicycle ride, my bet is that riding to work would be a better option for both you and the society as it would save everyone money[1] and time while improving everyone general health and life expectancy.

[1] combining exercising + commuting will make you gain time over commuting faster + exercising separately in that kind of distances.
Presumably your systems integrator can arrange that for you, no?
Correct me if I'm misunderstanding, you're putting forward the notion that the human mind is reducible to matrix-multiplications and gradient descent.

This seems like such a strong claim, that I shouldn't be the one arguing for it. Rather you should bring strong evidence.

Tbh,I agree with on the manager anecdote (maybe more on the cynical side)

I prefer joint damage from running or back pain rather than expose those around me to the effects of brain damage.

Also, there are ways to run and weight lift (mostly just doing overdo it) that result in zero or near zero damage, whereas there are no ways to have your brain impact your skull with zero damage.

One of the less intuitive results found in RAND wargaming is that no ship needs more than 4 anti-ship missiles when fighting against a foe that's roughly matched in quality. Either you have sufficient advantage that by the time you've spent 4 everything on the other side is sunk, or the enemy has sufficient advantage that you don't get to spend 4 before being sunk. The Navy took a look at these results, and doubled it to set the allocation of missiles per ship to 8.

Similarly, ships carry more defensive missiles than they can expect to be able to fire. No defensive system anyone uses has a 100% effectiveness; Burkes have sufficient stock of ESSM and Standard that you can expect there to be leakage and the ship to be taken out before they run out.

But all this assumes a fairly mirrored matchup, with both sides using weapons of similar quality. If one side uses a lot of cheap, attritable munitions, it might not work out the same.
> With the article about Europe, I'll note the average house here uses half the electricity of your very efficient Canadian house (probably more gas for heating though).

No, we were way ahead of our efficient house here in Europe because we were able to design that efficiency right into the structure. That house sipped power and the heater ran off the damaged trees on the property that we cleaned out annually.

I kept pretty careful logs of consumption before pulling the trigger on going off-grid and it's interesting to see how the reduction in consumption factored as much into that as the increase in renewable energy. Once the windmill was added the generator basically never ran again.

I think fine tuning makes sense when you need some domain specific knowledge to properly read, analyze, and interpret the information you're passing to it. But its not an information store itself.

The most valuable skill an LLM can have is good reasoning skills and a broad enough knowledge base to understand. From there you can pass it the important bits it needs.

Wow, two announcements by Google on HN on the same day both look like a scam. localllm just being a downloader and wrapper for llama.cpp, and this one giving many users a 404 after subscription. I think Google is officially dead.
I'd love to switch to a situation like that, tomorrow, please. But the reality is that unless such lack of comfort is shared people will simply not agree to it. It would be symbolic at best.
Woah.. does this mean OVA/OVF support for kvm?
Works the other way too. Higher ups have an incentive to provide a rosy outlook, explain away problems, and over promise to those under them to stay there. So really everyone in a hierarchy is incentivized to blow smoke.
Imagine if you can produce 3D compute substrate as 1 liter modules that can be built as Lego's. With holes to run water-cooling pipes through.

If you have, say, 100l of such substrate for less than $10,000, with a density similar today's tech, just in 3 dimensions, you can probably afford to run most of it at very low frequencies to conserve energy, with only non-parallelizable operations running at GHz-level frequencies.

Such a machine could still probably provide as much compute as a small datacenter can today.

Now I don't know if it will take 20 years or 200 to be able to do something like that, but I'm certain that we have a looong way to go before we reach the physical limit to how much compute we can stuff into a rack.
People talk a lot about tencent buying a stake in epic but they basically are hands free and let epic go down the rabit hole of fighting apple in court and getting into financial troubles because of it.

Same thing with tencent letting Grinding gear games basically make poe 2 which is huge financial risk when they already had a succesful game that could have kept going, just for the sake of making it better for their players over time.

Disney however? yeah, now people will actually see what unrestricted capitalism does to a company, I really hope this is mostly just aimed at the fact that Disney probably uses unreal engine and doesn't want it going down, but the cynic in me thinks that disney as a corporation will try to squeeze as much as they can out of their money.

I'll be interested to see some independent comparisons against OpenAI's models, but like everything AI-related Google has done recently, it feels like it's all a bit too little too late - and this is the latest bungled product launch..

In the UK, it states:

Which is about 20% more than I currently pay to OpenAI. Is Google's model 20% better?

Is the Cobra effect story true or is it a racist British/Western trope “Look how devious and greedy the Indians/natives are, even when we are trying to make their lives better?”

Can you really breed Indian cobras in a home in captivity? Cobras are very good hunters and trying to keep them confined (remember how they are freed at the end of the story) and feed a growing population yourself is likely to take some time and effort, perhaps money that might not be worth the bounty?
Tucker Carlson is not, under any definition of the word, a journalist. This was stated under oath by Fox News lawyers themselves. Also, the Kremlin has refused all interviews by journalists (contrary to the lie spouted by Tucker Carlson himself) and is putting in prisons actual journalists.

There is no real connection to UML here. Hardware virtualization (Intel VT, AMD-V) are much faster in practice and also don't require the guest operating system to be heavily modified. So besides as curiosity or test vehicle, approaches like UML are pretty dead.

> It's actually kind of appalling from a security perspective to expose users' IP addresses. I'm genuinely surprised that the major IRC networks still don't hide them. Sure, it'd break things like DCC, but would prevent DDoS attacks against fellow users.

Hostname cloaking is a pretty standard feature these days, you just generally have to ask for it to be turned on which is a bit odd. Doesn't break DCC either because DCC negotiates what your IP is directly with your client afaik. NAT is generally the thing that breaks DCC.
This really depends on the user's display and the viewing conditions. Someone with a TN LCD or even an OLED in bright light would likely prefer the "high contrast" #FFF on #000.

Brooks described the Surgical Team methodology, where one senior tackled the most complex tasks including design, the next senior people were helping with complex tasks and essentially "apprenticing" - with expectation that they will move on to become most senior person on a new team - plus a group of junior programmers took care of the simple "toil", while a group of supports (technical writers for documentation, tool makers, etc) together provided necessary cross-cutting skills.

This was modeled in the essay after "surgical team", with the most senior programmer being the "head surgeon" leading the operation, his direct assistants who could have major tasks delegated, and the juniors who could take on simple but still important tasks. (anaesthesiologist would probably be example of the cross-cutting support task)
The tl;dr seems to be: Tell a LLM to create pairs of questions and answers based off of a document, and fine-tune on that data. Does the model answer questions from the article that weren't generated in advance?

This is about PRC willingness to eat nukes for security interests independant of TW willingness to survive.

Shoot down with what, preempt air campaign would have destroyed most of TW anti air. Fantasy is thinking TW has any chance to deny the air game. Planner for porcupine model US advocates doesn't assume TW has any chance to deny PRC air superiority, only hope they sink enough amphib to deny mass invasion, and barring that, make the ground/urban fighting long enough until US comes to assist.

If scenario is actually about denying TW nuke run, then US won't be assisting. Only other actor with intelligence on ROCA comparble to PRC is probably US. Given stakes, things will get stupid real fast. PLA airlift will be dropping in zones secured by persistent CAS and a buffer soaked in chemical warfare on a one way mission to destroy TW nuclear infra in the mountains if they have to. Maybe TW resists fine alone, and nukes a few mainland targets (assuming no duds, and no intercepts). Then what, PRC nukes living resistance off surface of island and then waltz in bunny suits to breech production sites.

TW trying to nuclearize is automatic invasion redline for a reason. It's not like PRC has an exact contingency plan, only they'll throw everything and the kitchen sink to make sure it doesn't happen.

E: Dang is going to badger me for engaging this thread too long. We'll just have to agree to disagree on whether PRC will be deterred by TW nukes.

Usually in european countries when there are stop signs, they only apply to smaller streets/roads that connect to larger prioritary roads/streets. If we want equal level of priority for all directions we either use, traffic lights, roundabouts were usually the one already engaged in the roundabout has priority over people connecting to it or use priority from your right (default priority in France for example unless specified).

Who gets priority in a 4 directions stop sign?

How about wood working? I love that, it’s so different but uses your brain to design whatever your building and then physically build it.

How about learning to play guitar? I’d love to do that but don’t have the time. Very different use of brain.

How about join a sporting team like soccer? Again uses different types of thinking but can be quite strategic e.g. to know what space to occupy to either stop the other team or setup your team for a goal.
