History? George Washington was always Black, Genghis Khan was always white, and Julius Caesar was always an albino Japanese woman. Also, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, war is peace and freedom is slavery.

> The Ministry of Truth in Orwell’s 1984 would have loved this sort of thing. Why go to the work of manually rewriting history when you can just generate a new one on demand? … Generative AI should strive to be actually unbiased. That means it should not skew numbers in either direction, for anyone.
You'll need some analog circuitry. Not much, but phone service has some kinks electrically speaking.

A phone on-the-hook appears like an open circuit to direct current. Off-the-hook the circuit is closed, and current starts flowing. (Pulse dialing and "flash" signals open/close the circuit, telegraph style.) And ringing on POTS is done by applying about 20 Hz AC to the line at around 100 volts -- enough to make an electric motor ring a bell, or unpleasantly surprise someone playing with the "low voltage" phone line.

So you need to block the AC ringing (and other spikes), block the DC bias voltage (while presenting a phone-like impedance to the line), and then join both the DAC and ADC to the same two-wire line with matched impedance. It could be anywhere from a couple transformers and a few resistors and caps, to a very complicated arrangement with amplifiers, active noise cancelling and gain control circuits, etc. (There used to be dedicated ICs for those things.)

POTS, by its analog nature, is extremely flexible in practice. A couple 9V batteries are often enough to make two old phones work as intercoms. But the faster you want to go the more important it will be to match the expectations of a POTS line exactly.

When I read “I feel like I'm fundamentally missing something about iterative development in Common Lisp” in the GP, I thought of exactly what’s in these replies. I’ve only recently started learning CL via Practical Common Lisp, and while I liked Emacs+SLIME, I’m a vim guy (I know) and switched to vim+VLIME instead, and so far I’m loving it. This to me has actually been the “secret sauce” of Lisp in my early experience, because now when I go to write code or use the REPL for languages like Python and Ruby, I find myself missing the SLIME/VLIME experience. I find it to be a very intuitive and efficient way to write code interactively.
> I would expect there are still refusals for queries like "how do I build a bomb"

I remember asking my grandpa how to build a bomb, and he stopped; didn't even ask why. He just asked me: "what do you think a bomb is?" He turned it into a teaching moment that _anything_ can be a bomb. All you need is pressure inside a container that the container cannot hold. That's it. You can make non-deadly bombs with some random off-the-shelf components (soap and tinfoil IIRC) that were a ton of fun...

eventually, we were building explosives near the level of TNT in my neighbor's cow pasture, but that was years later. I suspect that things would have evolved differently in an urban environment, but these AIs and the people who make them think nobody needs a bomb to clear out a stupid rock formation.

More importantly, you can answer the question in a way that nobody gets hurt and people can learn and do things.

I thought that was the point of activitypub.
Why is it important they agree with you about the import of AI?

A good sales pitch might be based on shared benefits. How is AI going to make their life easier like it does yours? where can you share an improved experience? where can they see the benefits to them and how can you demonstrate that?

Salt was not that good (backpedaling from trash -- it wasn't that bad), but the lead was for a man, if that contributes to the conversation...

Lucy was trash, and I wont relent from that without hard evidence.

Not because of the cast or other movie related things, but because it would have been better as a sentence.
There's a certain one-liner that that rhymes, which comes to mind but you're not allowed to say here.
GPU memory is all about bandwidth, not latency. DDR5 can do 4-8 GT/s x 64-bit bus per DIMM, so maxing 128 GB/s with a dual memory controller, 512 GB/s with 8x memory controllers on server chips, but GDDR6 can run at twice the frequency and has a memory bus ~5x as wide in the 4090, so you get an order of magnitude bump in throughput, so nearly 1 TB/s on a consumer product. Datacenter GPUs (e.g. A100) with HBM2e doubles that to 2 TB/s
They said it worked with modifications (the code got them 90% of the way)
Just in practical terms, global bridges will see extremely high traffic if they become popular. I've watched people struggle to maintain operational bridges for single high-traffic channels. Not to mention the hosting cost of being a single point of failure for inter-network translation.

I think the future of decentralized social media is bright. I'm critically supportive of all the work being done and I'll be happy as long as we don't repeat the mistakes of email and xmpp.
Yep, this is exactly correct! For our SaaS version, we do have an agreement which allows us to look at data if needed to debug issues and/or improve search performance.

For self-hosted deployments, usually a select few admins who have setup the plumbing on AWS do have access (but as nl has mentioned, these people usually have access to superuser access on the tools we connect to anyways so this is a noop).

I think your counter-example swings too far in the other direction. Nobody expects a git-diff of the fix, but a solid explanation of the whys and wherefore’s isn’t unreasonable. Cloudflare does, fly.io does, etc etc.

Chromecast with Google TV 4K review (2023)
I got invited. They are inviting people in stages, starting today.

The invite-only pre registration has two kinds of criteia: moderation actions or user karma.

There are four groups. I don't know why group 2 has two groups inside of it.

1: 5,000+ mod actions or 200k+ karma (the group I fall into)

2: 2,500+ mod actions or 100k+ karma

2.5: 1,000+ mod actions or 50k+ karma

3: 500+ mod actions or 25k+ karma
An important difference between Oneplus and Librem 5 is that the latter works with all free drivers, which enables running mainline Linux with lifetime updates.

> Another variation on the problem is the over-allocation of resources to preventing problems which actually happened once, versus those that are more severe but haven't happened yet.

I've heard this called "institutional scarring" in a blog post somewhere. The idea is a small wound can be replaced with tough inflexible tissue. The jist of the blog post was that just because something happened, doesn't mean you have to change things to ensure it never happens again because that can be an over-reaction that really burdens your future. Accept that loss and that it just might happen again, but that may be better than onerously preventing it with certainty.
I'm still maintaining Delphi software that my dad wrote in the 90s and is actively used today. Delphi (and Windows, which can still run it!) is pretty amazing, even if writing Pascal is less pleasant than most modern languages due to things like having to pre-define all the variables at the top of a block.
Don't people quantize SD down to 8 bits? I understand plenty of people don't have 8GB of VRAM (and I suppose you need some extra for supplemental data, so maybe 10GB?). But that's still well within the realm of consumer hardware capabilities.
Yes to both errors!
Again, I want the tool through which I can see other people's messages, or at least a video of some hacker doing that. e.g. I can observe plaintext message over ethernet by using some splitter and wireshark.
The Radcliffe Wave Is Waving
If you renoise the output of the first diffusion stage to halfway and then denoise forward again, you can eliminate the bad output. This approach is called “replay” or “iterative mixing” and there are a few open source nodes for ComfyUI you can refer to.
Well, they are now going to have a hard time proving they are Halal certified.
There was the Mother's Day outage of 1990. That was caused by someone swapping a break statement for a continue statement in some C code that handled the routing, and there was a cascading effect.

They would do terribly. They're completely and utterly different skill sets.

It makes as much sense as taking an oboe player and asking them to conduct an orchestra, without any conducting experience.

Do you know how to handle investor relations and different factions on the board? Managing sales and marketing strategies? Assessing the regulatory environment in Europe and the legal risks of expansion in China? Can you speak confidently and charmingly at conferences with billionaires? Do you understand how to manage different interest rate environments? Is it obvious to you which law firms to hire for different needs?

This isn't just stuff you can learn on the fly. It takes many years of experience, and often a business degree in the middle, to become even moderately competent in this stuff.

This was one thing we had tried on Twitter before Elon, and had found that it is detrimental to the platform and engagement. So, had to roll it back. But now it is a thing again. This drives down the popularity and overall usage of the platform, but some people will still claim it works the same (or even better).

The question is fermentation vs cooking, not fermentation vs meat. Still a little unusual, but not as ridiculous as you're making it out to be.
If that’s what it was, they’ve done a fabulously bad job of conveying that, and then made no attempt to dig into why _that_ happened. Which, again, is like going “well it broke because it broke”, not even so much as a “this can happen because some bit of hardware had a cosmic bit flip and freaked out, generally happens with a probability of 1:x”.
This sounds completely impossible. First off, swiping a finger on a greasy glass screen doesn't make any sound, at least nothing that a phone microphone could pick up. Secondly, how on earth could you possibly reconstruct a fingerprint from a sound of it moving on a surface?!

TXR Lisp has a form of unhinged let in the "opip syntax" that underlies all of its threading macros.

https://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#S-F2CAF1CB

For instance

(flow 1
(+ 2)
(let x) ;; x is 3 now
(+ 3)
(let y) ;; y is 6
(+ 4) ;; pipeline value is 10 now
(+ x y)) ;; 19 returned: (+ 3 6 10)

There is a (let (var1 init1) (var2 init2) ...) syntax supported also. Both these variants act as pass-through pipe elements: they bind variables that are in scope of the rest of the pipe.

However, if you use the normal (let ((var init) ...) ...) syntax, then that is not special any more; it is just the regular let being threaded, like any other operator. It does not bind variables visible to the rest of the pipe.

Outside of this, there are only let and let* which resemble the Common Lisp ones.

Note that this construct makes sense even in pure code; it was not introduced for the sake of inserting side effects between variable definitions, but for capturing the output at specific points of the pipe, binding it to a name.
There were various lo-fi business music systems. Muzak, like United Biscuits, distributed over telephone lines. There were self-contained systems. Seeburg, the jukebox maker, made one, the Seeburg 1000. It wasn't random access like a jukebox. It just played a stack of records over and over with a relatively simple mechanism.

Seeburg's had their own orchestra, in Chicago, and recorded their own records. They just had to buy a "mechanical license" from the songwriters, which in the US costs a fixed rate set by law. So they owned rights to the content. To protect it, they recorded it on a nonstandard sized disk (9 inches), a nonstandard hole size (2 inches) with a nonstandard speed (16 2/3 RPM, rather lo-fi) and a nonstandard stylus size (5 mils). They didn't copyright the content; that cost money back then.

Someone collects these obsolete machines, restored a Seeburg player, and modified a modern turntable to play them. They stream it out, legally.[1]

Global bridges like this are single points of failure that defeat the purpose of decentralization. I'm saying that individual nodes should be full participants on all of the networks they want to communicate with.

An LLM can probably explain and translate it reliably. A model trained on the Internet has seen quite a lot of code and documentation about APL and its relatives.
The EV revolution does not look like this. There's likely nickel cobalt scaling issues in this battery.

The true EV revolution is cell to pack high density LFP and sodium ion which will beat ice in cost and have little to no material scaling issues.

There appears to be no substantial metrics about groundbreaking cost per kwhr. The density is decent at the pack level.

It is a big pack.

I suspect Stable Cascade may incorporate a DiT at some point. The UNet is easily swapped out. SC’s main innovation is the training of a semantic compressor model and a VQGAN that translates the latent output from the diffusion model back to image space - rather than relying on a VAE.

It’s a really smart architecture and I think is fertile ground for stacking on new things like DiT.
Reducing indentation is mostly a non-goal in Lisp. Can't work with nested lists? Don't use Lisp. Lisp processes nested lists. Lisp means List Processor.

You may want to do it in a text oriented language, but not so much in an expression oriented language, where programmers edit an expression tree, by tree manipulation commands.

In Lisp the "tree" is "nested lists".

Btw., what does

(block
(when (foo)
(var first-thing 'EXAMPLE))
(do-something)
(var foo 'EXAMPLE)
(do-something-else))

mean? Is it legal? Your macro would need to traverse the expression tree, knowing the whole Lisp syntax, including expanding macros, possibly in a source interpreter. WHEN is a macro. BLOCK would need to find the VAR expression inside the WHEN macro, which is not easy for the general case. This would be very very strange. Macros are usually expanded outside to inside. Your BLOCK macro would need to expand macros in enclosed code, to find VAR expressions.

In JavaScript something like above is legal in a function.

Communities are built on shared values and expectations of what is or isn't acceptable conduct. If a guest to your club house starts pooping on the carpet, you throw them out not only because you don't want that to happen in your club house but also because throwing them out demonstrates to the other people in your club house that they can expect there to be actual consequences to that kind of behavior, allowing them to feel safe knowing that they won't have to worry about it. Bluesky's solution apparently boils down to just telling everyone to ignore the poop guy and giving them the option to not be able to see him.

The problem with censorship isn't the enforcement of rules. The problem with censorship is the enforcement of rules the individual that has to enforce them doesn't agree with. Free speech absolutism on social media is often argued for with appeals to "the town square" but the difference between social media and an actual town square is that if you make a complete ass out of yourself in an actual town square, eventually someone will punch you.

When I first learned that AI companies are vacuuming up all internet content without any regard for permission, attribution or compensation for the content creator, I found that deeply immoral.

I figured they should pay for it. But now that they do (in this instance), I'm realizing this might be even worse. They can just buy the entire market in the same way they buy Google search users by paying Apple billions a year.

And still the actual content creator, a Reddit user in this case, is not compensated.

It's truly wild how lax regulation is. This is probably the most important technology ever created and we just let 2 companies have it all: the data and the compute.

Moral outrage is highly addictive: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/domestic-intelligenc...

>Outrage is one of those emotions (such as anger) that feed and get fat on themselves. Yet it is different from anger, which is more personal, corrosive and painful. In the grip of outrage, we shiver with disapproval and revulsion—but at the same time outrage produces a narcissistic frisson. “How morally strong I am to embrace this heated disapproval.” The heat and heft add certainty to our judgment. “I feel so strongly about this, I must be right!”

>Outrage assures us of our moral superiority: “My disapproval proves how distant I am from what I condemn.” Whether it is a mother who neglects her child or a dictator who murders opponents, or a celebrity who is revealed as a sexual predator, that person and that behavior have no similarity to anything I am or do. My outrage cleans me from association.”

Seem to fit this particular case pretty well.
