> You're probably right because we've left

"We"? I certainly didn't and I'm not alone.

> I only recently switched over to Brave in the past year or two. I'm doing my part to switch friends and family over too

You don't say why. Why leave Firefox for Brave, and more importantly, why encourage people to do so?

Despite all Mozilla's flaws, Firefox is still great and contrary to Brave, it doesn't contribute to Google's browser monopoly.

Integrated adblocking, which is often mentioned, is not a good reason: it's faster and easier to install uBlock Origin on an existing Firefox install than to install a brand new browser and make your relatives change their habits.

What do you say to your relatives to justify this switch?

I'm trying to understand what I can take from your comment here.
Take other people's advice based on their own experience with copious amounts of salt. Babies are small humans, and as such could be very different. How they sleep, how they eat, and how they do anything at all will be as varied as how varied adults are.

I'm not saying all twins are identical. But they are all of the same species. What I want in an assistant is that it is very different from me. It has perfect memory and knows lots of things that I don't know.

It's so trivially easy to create your own web server in your language of choice that calls directly into llama.cpp functions with the bindings for your language of choice it doesn't really matter all that much. If you want more control you can get with just a little more work. You don't really need these plug and play things.
I think you're on the right track here. I usually try to reason down a similar line. I wouldn't say that the claim is that the equations and laws combined can be conscious. Instead, I would say that none of the equations or laws that we come up with involve mental attributes (such as consciousness or qualia) as either inputs or outputs.

You look at all the proposed laws of the universe, and they involve things like energy, mass, time, position, work, etc, as inputs or outputs. No equations have inputs of these sorts of natural quantities and outputs that entail consciousness or that first-person experience.

We can see from these equations how things like tree leaves blowing in the wind, or mountains, might arise. These things involve motions and mass and things interacting with each other. While we might not be able to paint the full picture, we can see that the inputs and outputs of those equations are the right kinds of things that might plausibly lead to mountains and leaves blowing in the wind, at the right scale.

We can't see from these equations anything that might plausibly lead to the first-person experience, the what-it's-like to be something.

Note that the naturalist cannot then just inject these mental/consciousness related parameters into their equations. That would amount to a form of dualism, and destroy their project. What I think the naturalist needs to do is somehow explain away consciousness, because I don't see any path they could take to explain it in purely natural terms. They need to deny that there's anything here that needs explaining at all.

The special council, Robert Hur, is a Republican. That party has been pushing the meme that Biden is "senile" with "crippling dementia" for years. I would assume that a part of the optics of this entire affair, as was the case with the Benghazi hearings (admitted by Kevin McCarthy to be entirely about damaging Hillary Clinton in the polls) and James Comey reopening the Clinton email investigation, is intended to damage the Democratic candidate's election chances in the public eye.

This question is confusing to me.

Functionary is a series of function calling llama architecture finetuned models, not a new base model, if thats what you mean.

Hence, it can be turned into a gguf like any other llama finetune.

It just has a very esoteric prompting format, but llama-cpp-python is specifically set up to leverage it.
You should never ask an LLM to answer questions about itself. The answer is guaranteed to be hallucinated unless Google specifically finetuned it on an answer of that question. The answer it gave you is meaningless. (But also, coincidentally, correct.)
Yeah, you're definitely right that a lot of C and C++ code is written assuming signed overflow won't be optimized away. I think it was a mistake of GCC to do this optimization without some explicit flag like "-fremove-signed-overflow". I wish they didn't do that, but it's not up to me what they do. It's necessary for optimizations like loop unrolling, auto-vectorization, and compiling "for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)" as if it were written "for (size_t i = 0; i < N; i++)" when it's more efficient to do so, but again, I think this should be opt-in, and either -fwrapv or -ftrapv should be default on the generic -O1, -O2, -O3 levels.

It is not glib. Here is how I would put it.

> I wouldn't want that job. However, with the right team I AM sure I could do it.

Remember as a tech lead, if you are heroically writing a lot of code burning the midnight oil, banging out tickets and completing sprints by yourself, you are failing. As a CEO, the more you are doing the more you are failing. This is probably why it is so hard for people like us to he leaders. It is very difficult to delegate and not meddle with things. It is easy to say let go but very hard to actually do so.

Remember that even Steve Jobs delegated all operations and supply chain stuff to tim cook. And that's Steve Jobs! We are not Steve Jobs.

There is no reason why my manager should make more money than me.
The best advice I ever got was to internalize this: “the days are long but the years are short”.

As a father of a now 17 and 19 year old I can definitely say looking back that the years were indeed short. Enjoy the days.
> First of all I want to take a moment to state how hilarious it is you used DVDShrink: a tool developed for copyright infringement of content.

Yeah, the irony wasn't lost on any of us :].

> What you described is the standard authoring process that even I did back when it was fun to make home DVDs.

One year after I left I heard from a coworker that they were going to close shop. Director had visited a freelance guy who was doing authoring with a single consumer PC box and he saw the writing on the wall. He wouldn't have been able to keep his team in-house with all the costs associated if distributors started authoring in-house or spread the orders among freelancers and drive prices down. So that studio left the market and went back to digital picture/movie effects. At that time, being a student, I also tried out adobe encore (I think it was the name) as an alternative the much expensive authoring tool (I think it was sonic but I am pretty sure there was another, both didn't look like a toy interface and the other one had a different name) and thought "wtf, it's way easier to author with that that almost doing assembler with the professional tool" but I found out it didn't produce 100% compliant DVD. Anyway.

> But regarding unskippable content, it is difficult to prove if the code you described will be respected by all brands of players. I recall that JVC players would always go back to the main menu as soon you press STOP and it would then start the playback over when Play was presented. Pause is what would halt playback temporary. Its been a while since I used JVC players though.

Ooooh. I think I understand your point now. Yeah, if the hardware indeed decide to ignore anything happening during an UOP block then nothing would work. My memory fails me, assuming the software can register keys during an UOP block even though the UOP logo blinks maybe what we did was register keys during the UOP block and disable the flag on the fly to give back user control (but then hw players that ignore anything while a UOP block is being played would result in non skipable content obviously) or maybe the combination had to be entered before so it sets a flag that is read before the next block to check if it should disables UOP on the next block (or skip it entirely and drop the user to the main menu ?). I am sorry to say I am unable to remember more details and I didn't keep in touch with anybody there :/.

I think what may have slowed you down is the female TSA agent, not Precheck in general. That’s unfortunate.

Also business traveler tip for future:

all heavy and light tops (light jackets, suit jacket, winter coats, sweatshirts, hoodies, etc) go into the bin. Pockets empty, no wallet, watches, phones, etc. — put them in your jacket or hoodie.

Basically walk through that metal detector with only your basic layers and you will be through in 15 seconds.
I would take an imperfect standard over no standard any day!
In the literature I spend the most time with (archaeology/anthropology), the abstract is often focused on the broad applicability of the research to the field, which I either don't care about or already know (often both). The last line/paragraph of the introduction contains the specific contributions/findings of the paper. If and only if that's reasonable might it be worth investing the time to read further. I only rarely touch the data tables (assuming they even exist), because I don't want to spend an hour trying to understand whatever software nightmare the probably-not-computer-literate author(s) used and miss the details hidden outside the data in the explanatory text (e.g. samples were processed by throwing away all bits we couldn't identify!) that make the time spent useless.
Or maybe we should have realistic expectations.

Craftsman owes me a torque wrench; they promised a lifetime warranty.

Except Craftsman is now dead. The lifetime of the company has expired.

Expecting otherwise is delusional. Who can I sue for breach of contract? Their ghost?

While it would be nice for companies to honor such promises through mergers, it would make many toxic when the obligations of their generosity is what led to their insolvency.

It's the stuff of horror stories when your ex takes "but you said you'd never leave me and you'd always love me forever" to its most literal extreme. The expectation is irrational and unreasonable.
You're using an overly strict definition of the word and over-interpreting it to boot. Consider this definition:

He negotiated the $0, that sounds like his problem.

If any regular person negotiated an underpaid salary at their job the past 5 years, and then demanded to be paid extra, that would get laughed out of the room.
You need to understand why you are "lacking" in marketing or sales.

I know a lot of engineers who internally just despise ads, promoting, outreaching, pitching, etc, but they will say they "suck" at marketing. Most of the time it's not a skill issue, it's the personality and mindset.
The gist I linked is shared by Andrew Kelley, creator of the language. My best guess is that he rolled something similar to 'zig' and was reminded of the Zero Wing reference before deciding to take off with Zig (for great justice).

As someone who attended a couple of churches for many years, it's not necessarily "the hub of social life." Plenty of people show up, sit through the sermon/mass/whatever, and then leave afterwards. If you're really social, you might stick around for a coffee afterwards, but you're probably sitting at a table with the same few people every week.

It's similar to a school. You might have a social group of a dozen peers you're familiar with, and you might or might not ever do anything outside of school with those people. There are also hundreds of other students in different sets or levels of classes who you might not ever learn the name of.

Of course, it will vary between large churches and small churches, and probably between areas with lots of churches and areas with only a few. But I wanted to explain that since it sounds like you had at least an exaggerated idea of how religious people socialize via their places of worship.
I think robocall means an unsolicited call someone makes to you. Answering services aren’t affected here.

> How does this make sense? There is some divine being that only sometimes looks at the actual synapses to decide if it should feel nauseous or happy?

One possibility: the experiences that God gives me at any moment are what they are because of the state of my brain. This isn't a sometimes thing, but an always thing. I see or experience what I do because of the state of my brain, but not only because of the state of my brain.

The problem is that the physical states alone don't entail anything about the experiential -- nothing about the phenomenology. The physical explanation leaves out things that are real and need explaining.

The users would need an incentive to relay others' traffic and run down their batteries faster. Mesh is also extremely slow. Just try using Tor as an example.

> sustainable harvesting (hunting)

I think I almost could be if the biomass of harvestable prey hadn't reduced so dramatically while the number of potential hunters has increased proportionately, if not more. Spearfishing is actually what lead me to give up the pursuit of sustainable hunting. No matter how ethically and fairly I try to harvest, I will only be contributing to the toll which is already countless orders of magnitude beyond something sustainable. In a sense, I was viewing my contribution to the problem too much as my own contribution rather than as part of a whole which is already far too excessive.

It's a tragedy of the commons. Wild land is too disrupted, oceans polluted and over-fished, and yet farming is too disgusting to contemplate supporting either. The best contribution I can make is to relieve pressure on the system and encourage others to consider doing the same (if they appear interested in listening, that is).

Even so, I'm grateful there are people out there who are willing to consider hunting as an alternative to farming. There are opportunities to hunt over-populated species which are harming ecosystems, for example, which at least has something of a positive impact on the places where the hunting occurs. Wild pigs and deer are common examples in North America. I can't bring myself to do it though, as I'm an invasive species not much unlike the pigs or deer.

> this has put me more at ease with eating meat as we are omnivorous predators in the food chain

I contemplate this at times too. It's not irrational at all. We are omnivores and we are part of the food chain, and there's nothing special about us in that regard.

However, since we're so dramatically over-populated compared to the species we eat (outside of farming, at least), it seems wise not to eat animals so often given that we don't need to and our impact on the food chain is significantly outsized compared to other species. It could be argued that we have something like a practical, moral, and ethical impetus to preserve the food chain such that we can now and in the future continue to sustain the food web we have such immense impacts on. Not only for the lives of the animals we eat and share the world with, but for the future humans of the earth as well.

I wouldn't rule it out entirely - a good news article can add context (e.g. via interviews with authors) that is otherwise not generally part of the paper itself
Without citizens united, a newspaper couldn't run an advertisement or an editorial about an biography of an active politician without running afoul of campaign finance laws- promoting a book that describes someone in positive light is clearly a contribution in kind, when column space in the paper costs money.

There's way more nuance that went into the decision than the "corporations are people" meme.
Pretty sure they can’t “rule” anything. There’s a few cases at the Supreme Court that should issue by April(?) regarding these agencies “legislating”.

I’m pretty confident this will not stand, for one, it violates the first amendment. You can’t tell anyone what messages, voices, thoughts, expressions, they cannot transmit. That’s been actually ruled in repeatedly
