A lot of people have been working on coming up with such an improved system for a long time now, but haven't succeeded yet. This appears to be an incredibly hard problem.
Author of Calyx here. I always find these arguments quite reductive but will nonetheless entertain them.

"Developing Hardware is a solved problem"

For which audience specifically? Maybe if you consider giant teams at large corps pouring in millions. Is it a solved problem for hobbyists, students, people who're just curious? Most people who're curious about software can go play with it in 15 mins. For hardware, it's more like months.

"If you need pseudo-DSL ..."

Weirdly gatekeepy. Why should hardware be only used by experts? There's lot you could've said about it being hard to optimize hardware well (which is challenging with HDLs too) but instead choose this argument.

"You cannot abstract away this engineering task"
The goal of research is to try to do things differently. We already know how to build hardware using HDLs, with waterfall models and giant teams. We want to figure out if there are better ways to do it.

The VLSI revolution wouldn't have happened if randos on the internet kept complaining about how "we already know how to do full custom design" and "you cannot abstract physics". We did before, and it changed the world. Let's have some optimism.
The 13th Amendment belongs to a different document than the Constitution proper and was ratified about eighty years later. From the standpoint of the dominant school of constitutional interpretation, the distinction matters.
> You have no way to know if he would only show you a goat if you picked the car.

What do you mean?

It's specified in the scenario. He shows you a goat. It's right there. This isn't a variable. It's a fact.

Your only job is to work out whether, given the scenario described, it makes sense to switch. Given all your possible choices.
I can ask a local LLM about Hillel the Elder, and I get good information complete with references. I then go then check those references and verify the information. They are usually accurate. Practically speaking you statement is at odds with what they do, even if you classify what they do is fabrication as a medium.
Weird to say "I often look past constructed narratives and ideological redefinitions"

and then just list a bunch of nonsense and call it a solution.
Self-Driving Cars Might Just Transform the Way We Work
Ha! I had forgotten it had a name, but I guess that works.

There is a fair bit of variability in the 500 year average, and 8 is still a seriously large earthquake, so preparations are definitely justified IMO.
I've got some interest in Japanese military history and can say the story there was basically the same as in Europe with a long coexistence between firearms and edged weapons that mostly comes to an end when guns got a lot more lethal in the 1800s, like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_gun

and the development of cartridge ammunition.
And here we go with an entire thread of cynical comments where people assume that the jacked-up Agile implementations they've seen at their own organizations are the only way it ever can be implemented . . .

Unfortunately, doing it well requires managers willing to give up power and developers willing to take the headphones off, go talk to other human beings, and be more proactive than just "I did what I was told." Some companies/teams struggle with these things.
Another correction here, we have had functioning MSR since the 50s and thorium MSR since the 60s.
I don't understand why you need google drive. Thats just to sync for backups. You can manually import and export if thats a huge concern for you
>At the extremes, it can seem like the only 'genuine' counterculture is self-sacrificing civil disobedience (e.g. self-immolation, not blocking traffic) or truly destructive (terrorism), because these are not scalable within mainstream culture. There should be a middle ground...

The middle ground is productive disengagement. It is deciding to abandon the system and build real alternatives outside of it. You see this with hippy communes, some punk scenes, and homesteaders, ect.

It isnt as common because it takes a lot more work and hardship than simply "laying flat", and doesnt provide much social currency in the mainstream culture. There are also barriers in the mainstream that provide headwinds, but I think these are less of a challenge.

For example, it isnt impossible for people to check out and build an eco-friendly socialist commune in the wilderness. However, it is a lot of work and few are willing to sacrifice the comforts of mainstream life, as unhappy as they may be with them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_ping
Sure okay "early access" then. Basically just trying to say that if you're expecting a stable build right now you're in for a bad time, IMO
I'm on the billing team and we just shipped our new platform send me your regards!
The whole discourse is honestly really stupid. I worked in geointelligence processing for the first decade or so after getting into software. My wife is still working on tasking automation for US spy satellites and has been doing that for about six years now, after working on aerial radar algorithms prior to that.

The US military has used software algorithms to assist in sifting through sensor data and finding "targets" for at least 40 years, where targets just means whatever they're looking for. At some point close to 15 years ago, many of these algorithms started shifting toward using a machine learning approach where appropriate. At what point this is supposed to mean the military is "using AI" is not all that clear to me.

What they have not done and likely never will do is automated strike approval. As of now, it is still encoded in military field manuals codifying our national interpretation of the international law of war that humans and specifically human commanders approve lethal force. On the other hand, yeah, software is going to help the munition reach its target. You don't throw heat seeking missiles by hand like they're baseballs.
I would agree that it is much more gothy post-punky vibes to me.

The Swans just had a lot of very differing material. Perhaps that's why I don't quite get the description.
Odd, it works correctly for me: https://rachit.pl/files/pubs/calyx.pdf

What platform/browser has this problem?
To make it even better, for one of them(from ground crew) it was their first time climbing 360ft on that mast.

Before that day, they never climbed beyond 73ft [1]. Because of this reason he (Rath) was awarded a gold medal while the other two received different (silver I presume) medals.

I think if people took the time to understand how LLMs choose word weights based on training data, they would understand that these results are somewhat deterministic.

Instead, the preferred heuristic is to look for a bogeyman.
Funnily enough how you can build cookie-cutter parking lots everywhere. Cookie-cutter roads everywhere. Cookie-cutter shopping malls and gas stations everywhere.

But any other bit of infrastructure? "oh no, local laws would not permit it because difficult legal landscape".

So this let me get this straight. This https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y7cvszoFfzxmAG6Q8 (Aurora, CO) and this https://maps.app.goo.gl/ByZfS93g82C1NkjdA (Derry, NH) and this https://maps.app.goo.gl/uUEdDNtcK5MfHZUW8 (Ankeny, IA) and literally hundreds if not thousands of these can be built from cookie-cutter designs so that they are really indistinguishable from each other. But when we talk about anything else, it's "impossible because US is like no other and also you have to make sure there's site-specific design because advanced environment laws actually conflict with the idea of using cookie cutter designs" or something
Nice, as I've already read "Childhood's End".
>Russia definitely is not reacting to this the way an innocent party would

Why would they want to admit that another country was able to assassinate this high profile prisoner in order to undermine them? It's a similar reaction to what happened after the West/proxies blew up the Nordstream pipeline.
Why? comes to mind. Why limit the options of consumers. This comes off as some sort of protectionism that will lead to a worse service for the end user and a worse product due to lack of competition.

You can solve this problem without resorting to archaic overreach. Make the customer experience better for those taking 2.5 hour train rides. This should be the ideal case to take a train and if people still prefer to fly something is seriously wrong with your product.
That's awesome.

Withdrawal is certainly not unheard-of. https://www.webmd.com/add-adhd/adderall-withdrawal

Based on anecdotal experience I kind of want to say mild withdrawal is the norm but that might well be selection bias at work: people are more likely to talk about withdrawal than they are to talk about the lack of withdrawal.

In my personal experience, just to put things in perspective: I would describe my adderall withdrawal as approximately half as bad as caffeine withdrawal. I don't have any other forms of withdrawal with which to compare it.
I would consider Airflow, Spark and Flink to be their forward facing projects, and they are all very actively developed.
Bad OCR of “blind”, maybe?
My job as a software dev is usually pretty cushy office job.

Then sometimes I get involved in seagoing expeditions or trials as part of it, and it changes a lot. Still very much a day job. I am not (that much of) a trained mariner. Definitely become witness to (and involved in) high-pressure situations, like "we have to winch this big yellow thing onto the deck, but it's too close to the aft and we can't reach it with the grappling hooks, it's dangerously close to getting sucked into the propellers, please please figure out how to fix the networking so we can send the CHANGE_HEADING command to get it to drift to a safe grappling distance".

It definitely does wonders for honing your Calm Problem Solving mode.
I am not patronizing anyone. I am just presenting statistics, and the possibilities for why they are what they are. By far, most (almost all) women who have access to financial independence, physical security, and access to contraception CHOOSE to have 0, 1, 2, or maybe 3 kids.

No one tells them they cannot have 8 or 14 kids. But after having seen what a woman goes through during pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and child rearing, I would easily say that I would also choose 0, 1, 2, or 3 kids. Certainly not double digits.
The reason it's getting attention is because the questions reveal an underlying extremist bias that can interfere with its ability to do basic tasks that we now expect LLMs to perform. This matters for those who deploy AI into production.

Three days ago I wrote [1] that the real risk here was not Vikings with Native American headdress, it was refusals or mendacious answers to API queries that have been integrated into business processes. I gave a hypothetical example that Gemini might refuse to answer questions about a customer named Joe Masters if he worked for Whitecastle Burgers Inc.
It took less than three days for that exact scenario to happen for real. A blogger usually uses ChatGPT to translate interview transcripts and titles into other languages. They thought they'd try Gemini with:

Please translate the following to Spanish: Interview | The Decline Of The West (John Smith)

where John Smith was a name I didn't recognize and have forgotten. ChatGPT did it, but Gemini refused on two different grounds:

1. It recognized the name of the interviewee and felt it would be unethical to proceed because it didn't like the guy's opinions (he's a conservative).

2. It felt that the decline of the west was a talking point often associated with bad people.

This is absurd and shows how frequently an app that tries to use Gemini might break. What if a key customer happens to share a name with someone who starts blogging conservative views? Your LLM based pipeline will probably just break. It looks like to ship a robust model in the LLM space you need to have an at least partially libertarian corporate culture (as Google did, when it was new), as otherwise your model will adopt the worst aspects of "cancel culture". In a mission critical business setting that's not going to be OK.

No, you’re just failing to understand what “equational reasoning” means.

It has little to do with the idea of LeftSide = RightSide. In fact you don’t even need an “equation” in that sense, or any equality sign, to do equational reasoning.

Equational reasoning is when a program is evaluated (ie.: like when you simplify or factorize an equation in maths) by using substitution (or rewriting) rules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rewriting
"Book Banning" is always to be taken with a grain of salt. What typically happens is that a school library is not permitted to have copies of books considered inappropriate for children of a certain age.
It's probably some combination of both. There is a subset that can be reformed and made bad decisions, and there is a subset that are beyond help and just need to be kept from further damaging society.

(fwiw: I'm very much in the rehabilitation camp)
Nordic model works in Nordic countries because there are Nordic people with a singular race and culture and it works for them.

One could argue that deterrence should be a major factor just because of demographics of US prison system. For example look at Singapore/Indonesia/Philippines and how they solved drug trafficking problem.

US for sure could learn a lot from Singapore

Rehabilitation already exists for minor crimes and first-time offenders, but the people who end up in actually prison are wayyy past any rehabilitation, its not their first rodeo
could you please do a couple more of these for reddit, facebook, twitter, youtube etc?
A modern rope for rock climbing is 50 to 60m, about 160 feet. Some climbers use thinner double/twin ropes that are twice that length. It can be a pain but isn't unmanageable if you take your time. I could see them doing it all at once using whatever reasonable rope they had at the time.
Nope. City distance in the continental US excluding the Northeast is similar to China. Distance is just the excuse.
It's called Processing.

He's saying Nitzer Ebb and Front 242 were more packaged and refined than something like Suicide or Throbbing Gristle. And that seems spot on to me.
Putting multiple bets and having multiple partnerships is smart regardless of OpenAI drama.

This way Microsoft is less dependent on a single deal and can diversify their offering based on use cases.
If you already have a position in the the queue for 737 then giving that up to switch would be a huge issue.

Since the MAX initial problems the A320/A220 have been growing far more orders is pulling ahead of the 737 by quite a bit.
I really need an Abridged New Yorker feed. I love about 20-30% of their articles, by volume, but they're so, uh, "well written", that they're difficult to even scan for high-value information.
The problem of holding platforms accountable for enforcing this is a chilling effect: speech that wouldn't be restricted even by the government gets taken down by the platforms as a proactive measure, to err on staying on the right side of the law. This is especially true of speech with nuance. (See GPT & Gemini's heavy-handed self-censorship as an example).

Nobody will be jailed, their posts will just be hidden or removed for non-compliance with the restrictive terms of the private platform.
> Minimizing pain is the basic point.

That is what YOU want.

> We know what they're trying to say.

The argument your making shows your missing the subtly of what the poster and Huxley are saying.

If your house always smells like bacon, if all your drinks and food are sweet how quickly does thee joy from these things fade? A life, without contrast is one that only drives you to escalation in a single direction. At some point there would not be enough sugar in the world to indulge your sweet tooth.

Huxley was a student of buddhism, he understood that this flowed in the other direction. Chasing the pretty girl, the idea of catching her, of you and her is pleasurable. If you fail in this task it is pain... Buddhism would have you remove desire to remove pain. This idea, this theme, is the focus of Huxley's works and is present to some extent in this essay (the pleasure from passive consumption is a net bad).

Fixing the toilet isnt "fun". There is satisfaction in doing a "shitty" job, one that isnt had if you call the plumber.
I will say a few things. When things like giving up alchohol happen your brain will do a lot of things to trick back into the drug. Like, for example, making the things you previously enjoyed seem not fun or fulfilling like they used to, all a ploy to get you back on the drink. I'm not an expert.

Speaking from experience the number one thing that gave me purpose in life is kids. There is nothing more purposeful that having something that you love more than yourself. I tell everyone this and I understand that you may not agree. Having kids is the greatest thing you will ever do. When you're 60 sitting at home you're going to wish you would have had them.

Non-kid suggestions would be start a project, that you can feel ownership over. You own it and make something of it. You are responsible for its success or failure. Again, I'm no expert.
This is an even better learning experience than coding it right the first time, and I am so happy you had it!
If you have any HDDs still in your system, they could be failing.
> Long article for something that can be summed up in two paragraphs

Sure, you can answer the question "What can a major solar storm do to our planet?" in two paragraphs, why not, if one would need a very quick, very short summary of what a major solar storm could to our planet.

But.

Some people might want a more in-depth answer, going into great detail. Some people might want so much detail that they might read a whole-ass book about a subject.

Long form articles are not bad or unwanted; they bridge the space between a short summary and a book (along with essays, studies, etc). What is bad, though, is thinking everything should be reduced to a short two paragraph summary, or a 1min tiktok video, or a video. All mediums of communication have their uses and their niches, serving different needs.
There used to be an option to redirect the Custom Tabs API to just open a regular Firefox tab. I loved that option as it replaced a reduced functionality API with the full thing. Too bad it got lost in the great fenix rewrite.
The Programmers’ Credo: we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy. :)
Yes, this is precisely why I use Authy -- for multi-device support with Just Works sync. I've got it on cellphone, work laptop, personal laptop. So even if two of these devices get lost or damaged, I still have the one.

I don't believe myself capable of keeping all these "recovery codes" for every service. I don't believe most people are. A 2FA ecology that depends on everyone having their "recovery codes" to avoid a situation where a lost/bricked/stolen device means they are locked out of like ALL their services... is an ecology where most people are at some point going to be locked out of all their services.

It's pretty incomprehensible to me that this is the ecology that's been built?

I don't know of any other thing with multi-device support -- that includes laptops not just phones, I only have one phone! -- that's as seamless a UX for non-techies as Authy. there are some non-free ones, that still aren't really as good usability wise. DIY setup on your own cloud storage does not even come close.
I still think that this isn't about the DMA itself, it's about how the DMA fits into all the other laws and treaties that exist in the EU, including ones created after the DMA was created.

Apple is going to force the EU to make decisions, and make them now. If they get fined and forced to make changes, that is cheaper and less risky than potentially unbounded liability (and forced changes) in the future.
It’s concerning that the new model isn’t on Huggingface. I hope Microsoft doesn’t stop it from open sourcing the models and code.
Eh, all this talk of "moats" etc. feels weird when just a few years ago it seemed like everyone was complaining they'd rearranged their corporate structure to include a fully-owned profit-making subsidiary to attract investments, and all the loud voices seemed to think a cap of x100 return on investment was so large it was unlikely to be reached.

And then OpenAI tripped and fell over a magic money printing factory, and the complaints are now in the set ["it's just a stochastic parrot", "it's so good it's a professional threat to $category", "they've lobotomised it", "they don't have a moat", "they're too expensive"].

As the saying goes, "Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future!"
Should you think of a tank as armor?
The difference is if Monty has a chance to accidentally open the door with the car.
It changes. Monty's behaviour influenced by his knowledge were the car is. He is leaking information. It is a probabilistic leak: if you first picked by a chance the only door with a car, then Monty is free to open any of remaining doors.

But if you had chosen a door with a goat, then Monty has no choice at all, he must open the only door with a goat that you didn't pick. It is a leak.

From other hand if Monty picked a door by random, he would not leak his secret, but he might open a door with the car accidentally.

> That means, first and foremost, excising the company of employees attracted to Google’s power and its potential to help them execute their political program, and return decision-making to those who actually want to make a good product.

I was thinking this same thing before I got to this passage in the article.

The most bizarre thing about the Gemini fiasco is that the base models, the OSS models of Gemma-2B and Gemma-7B, are damned impressive. Gemma-2B alone surpasses GPT-3.5-Turbo IME.

What’s happening here is that an army of bullshit jobs, really departments of bullshit jobs, are leading to a negative impact on product. Silicon Valley has become too soft as of late, the layoffs need to become more aggressive to remove these bullshit jobs from mucking up the product.
