Something that stood out to me in the Discussion:

> Yet notably, speeding as a behavior surprisingly did not show any effect on fault outcomes in our models. The only effects related to driver behavior to decrease the likelihood of a pedestrian being found at fault were driver distraction and vehicle turning.

In other words: speeding by drivers is normalized to the extent that it doesn't appear to factor into the likelihood of being found at fault for an accident.

This is a distressing finding, but not a surprising one given the urban environment surveyed (pictures in Figure 2): wide, straight streets with ample spacing between lights mean that drivers drive at an "intuitive safe" speed, not the speed that is actually marked (much less the speed that is actually safe for pedestrians moving through crosswalks).
A lot of innovation is common sense because oddly enough, common sense is not widely distributed.
The article says doctors at the local hospital making offers on million dollar places are getting outgunned by out-of-towners making cash offers. It seems optimistic to think that anyone is going to pay e.g. someone working at the deli counter in the grocery store enough to afford the cost of living in the area.
If you have a culture in a highly regulated industry where workers can violate those regulations and you dont notice by intention or by inaction, then yes you can be held responsible.
>A kind of repeat of the Apple-Samsung litigation where everyone has a "it's just business" attitude

Very different. Steve was taking Samsung to court partly ( or largely ) taking Android with it. But Tim wasn't a supporter of that, or at least behind the scene he was dealing with Samsung ( or Samsung Display, Samsung Foundry and Samsung Memory divisions directly ). So yes it was all it's just business in large because Tim was there to smooth things out. Or partly because Tim knew they cant do it without Samsung. Zero Chance at the time and they wasn't a trillion dollar company then.

I dont see any similarities here with Apple and Epic.
Hard not to act as they do when its consumers happily reward them with their money.
Yes, that’s what I meant - all the languages that had already been mentioned are Indo-European, with the exception of Japanese.
It allows the NTSB to know who to interview. That gives them a much better picture and helps validate if what Boeing says is actually true.
Captchas are there to defeat spam. You don't need to identify someone as human for that; you just need to make it expensive to post, e.g. through proof-of-work.
I have an air popper, and it works amazingly well. I have had the same one for over a decade too. No oil is required, which is nice, since my preference for butter is hardcoded in my Southern DNA.
I'm not sure if the continued existence of Haniyeh and his band at Qatar is of any consequence. IDF are clearly keeping the Al Qassam brigades and Yahya Sinwar in their sites, for now. Maybe when they're done with them they'll turn to Haniyeh, but he'll probably won't matter at all by then.
This is no joke.

I've owned a quite popular open source Chrome extension for years. The amount of total donations wouldn't pay for a month of coffee.

But oh boy, the number of times and insane numbers I was offered to sell the extension for obviously nefarious purposes (some of them outright explicit).

I rejected them all but nobody in their sane mind would really expect the moral virtue of the original developer to be the only security and privacy framework for this scenario.
Ha! We’re also committing great sins of computation against T4s at our company. Hopefully, as I learn, things get less janky.
how is having low blood sugar a sign of pre-diabetes? I get frequent bouts of hypoglycemia.
It is unrealistic because as long as just enough victims pay to make it worthwhile, the bad guys will keep doing it.

My assumption is that the cost to find victims and make the request is low enough and that number folks that will still pay regardless of the law is high enough to make it it worthwhile for the bad guys.

Best case, it lowers the profit margin for the bad guys. Meanwhile, the victims face being punished even worse.
I just use a pot. I put in a tablespoon or so of coconut oil, melt it over medium heat with a few kernels and when they pop add a bunch more to almost cover the bottom of the pot. Then I put a lid on it, canted so it lets the moisture leave but not the popcorn and remove from heat when the popping slows. Then I add salt and shake and done. It takes just a few minutes.
Enders Game had this technology and it was so much worse than an SAT.
Levine's /Linkers and Loaders/ is a great book, but it's still in print, and this is an unauthorized copy.

The author's home page (https://www.iecc.com/linker/) used to host a PostScript version for download, but it no longer does, now saying: "Chapters were available in an excessive variety of formats, but are not any longer due to chronic piracy."

These days there is lots of information about linkers and loaders to be had without violating Levine's copyright; see https://www.toolchains.net/ for many links.
Caching can make sense in more situations than "too many users running the same query at once". For basically anything slow that you'd like to make faster, you can weigh the downsides of caching against the downsides of optimizing its performance in other ways. In a startup context, often some (judicious) caching is preferable to spending a bunch of time carefully optimizing some code that's going to change or be thrown out in a month anyway.
The other 10% is just literally asking for their password
A really good blog post might do it. The bar is quite high there as of course lots of people are blogging to establish themselves as the expert in X. So nothing that gives me positioning vibes. Those curiousity driven posts are better.

But also any developer who has clearly done X and we need X at work right now.
> And we are using the older Tesla T4.

That's an undemanding and well-debugged chip by this point (6 years ago!). So you aren't experiencing any of the pain people using A100s or H100s (never mind people who have to stand up clusters with B100s soon) are going through now.

The exceptionalist neocon 'news' outlet that's filled with those who pushed the Iraq War hardest is accusing other countries of being exceptionalist. It also calls other publications 'mouthpieces', stans for privatization etc.

There are ghouls in the US who are remnants from an era that was more than 50 years ago in the past. Those people are still alive and their yes men are still pushing their 50 years old world view. Foreign Policy is one of those yes men.
It would be trash like their EGS. No one would use it.
All you need is to send your password, and a quick session to set up 2FA with the buyer's methods, update recovery settings, etc.

As long as you don't use that account for anything else, it's seamless.

Legalese isn't going to stop that.
> When we went for SOX compliance our auditors were pretty firm that having developers being the ones pushing to prod and not a separate team was a security issue.

That's surprising to hear. That's a very out of date take on SOX, in my experience. I've worked in thoroughly audited FedRAMP environments where the it's devs pushing and reviewing that triggers pipelines for prod release.
I'm asking out of curiosity here: I've always heard that fat doesn't spike your glucose at all and protein only if you a considerable amount of it. So from what you said if you ate a fatty cheeseburger (plated like a steak and without the bread) that your blood sugar will spike? I'm currently doing a Mediterranean style diet during the week and slacking off a bit on the weekends friday evening through Sunday morning. I have done keto in the past though with the readings I've done on it saying that lots of fat, some protein, and just a little bit of carbs should basically keep any glucose spikes very low. I could only handle the keto for a couple months though.
Probably you want to avoid signing an agreement that could necessitate actively lying to someone else.

If already under such an agreement, find a way not to lie.

Being proactive can help. The first example that comes to mind was when a highly-placed colleague (who I trusted, and with whom I had a good rapport) asked me directly whether I knew whether of anyone in the department who was job-hunting. I didn't know of any, but I told them I generally couldn't answer that question, as a matter of policy. Because that's the kind of question for which we can anticipate a hard conflict someday, between betraying a trust, and lying to someone else. And that's an easy conflict to avoid.

"If I knew, I probably couldn't tell you." is a useful phrase.
What are some current exponential growth trends
Moore's Law is well known, but there must be other exponential growth patterns happening now!
It also allows the NTSB to find out whether Boeing did track it's production line as vigorously as it should. They try to figure out where everything went wrong. If there is no paper trail, that indicates that there is a systematic security issue at hand at Boeing, where people can go in and do what they want without documenting it.
your product is really cool and i think you made a good decision by going OSS - it reduces the risks your customers take by migrating to the product.
I do agree with you that a different phase would have been better and also the author might have been mixing metaphors like you alluded to ("get in on the ground floor/level" or "build it from the ground up").

I didn't read the complete article so I missed the phrase originally, it might have given me a slight pause but I would understand the meaning.

My apologies too for the nitpicking, I enjoy language and yes, interesting were on an LLM thread discussing this.
Just add salted butter. If in doubt add a lot more. No way can the bags compete with a massive amount of good quality salted butter.

I'm repeating the claim that the parent comment made; the assertion that compilers lock you into a level of abstraction is theirs, not mine.
Their situation feels analogous to my memories of the initial offshoring boom in tech, when you could pitch plans that didn't factor time zone or QA into the budget and nobody cared.

And if somehow there is a push to increase minimum wage in the town to help with that, I guarantee I can tell you what will happen next: landlords will increase rents to slurp that into their accounts, leaving them with the same problem.

My repository is yf-dev/mahjong-hand-guessing-game, and it's a variant of the Wordle game with Japanese Rich Mahjong rules.
I don't think it's the same game as Wordle, because it's not a word-guessing game, and it has a 14x6 grid.
The name of the game is also inspired by Wordle, hence Mahjong Handle, but handle is a common noun that already exists, so I don't think there's a problem.
> Not necessarily?

Well then, I expect we'll see a bunch of small projects that beat the big players any day now. I won't hold my breath.
Oddly similar to summoning demons.
You’re right, the point I was trying to make but should have said more explicitly is that they raised at an inflated valuation that would make any subsequent “up” round more difficult to raise in the future, even if the growth trajectory improved.
I'm not familiar with this notation: "f.ex. n-2"?
Yes, it absolutely can. However, these decisions are more the rule than the exception in an acquisition or change of management, whereas people who set out to make things that get the good reviews in the first place will often value the effort they've put into the thing they've made, the reputation they've earned with it, their relationship with their customers, or even just take pride in making something well

Of course, perhaps it would be even rarer in a world whose incentives resisted "optimization" of this kind rather than actively encouraging it

How much would a month or two cost me if it was out of pocket? I wouldn't mind doing it for science.
That’s a guideline and not a rule, and frankly it’s a rather poor one given that people pretty routinely don’t read the article and then miss important points.
Did we read the same article? The article I read said the NTSB was seeking the singular person who failed to reinstall the door plug correctly and Boeing was not giving that person up.

I have no love for Boeing, but it sounded like they were trying to _prevent_ some poor line worker taking the fall.
Also: the really nefarious ones wouldn't be detected by the tool from the post, as they demand that the developer account is also transferred with the purchase, not just extension ownership (including the user base) and the code.

There are, but none are as desirable as Samsung. If Apple wanted it to, it could fall under refusal to deal, Apple are very good at twisting courts to their advantage.

Remember when I think it was iPhone 11 or something, they had to use LG and Samsung screens to meet demand, but the consumer reaction was for people desperately trying to hunt down units with a Samsung screen because the quality was noticeably better.

Samsung is probably Apple's biggest competitor, you can bet that they would most certainly rather pay LG, or literally anybody other than Samsung if they could, right?
I have to wager that the Iraqi people probably prefer the current order of things. I would guess that they would keep things the way they are rather than bring back Saddam.

Snaps are such a disaster, they break in such unexpected ways. AppImage and flatpak are a bit better, but still involve permissions annoyances.

Ubuntu doesn't offer upgrades to older versions for sufficiently long enough. I have to reinstall over old ubuntus a fair amount because the repos for non-LTS disappeared under them. Yes it's part of fine print, but when you want to go to "consumer OS" that won't fly.

Balkanization is still a huge problem between the Debian, Redhat, and I guess pacman is in third on desktop because of SteamOS.

ChromeOS did not help. Far too google-binding.

But Wine is approaching holy-shit-magic good. Linux is arguably a better games platform than windows for compatibility now.

Video driver support still sucks. Multimonitor is better, but still a bit wonky.

The whiz-bang compiz fusion days also fell to the wayside, probably related to video driver issues.

All the tools are there, but desktop linux just can't get its act together.

I honestly think Intel or AMD should be the ones to push this. Because Windows is threatening the ARM move, Windows has always dragged its feet on supporting processor features. Linux allows a model where Intel/AMD can push capabilities to OS end users rapidly. It's rounding error on their total revenue to do this. They should have done it 20 years ago to keep Microsoft from walking over them.

Intel and AMD are pushing these huge processor count CPUs. Windows will drag its feet on supporting that, but with Linux, Intel and AMD can push code to maximize massively parallel cores. Intel and AMD can push seamless virtualization, multi-OS, with good graphics passthrough. Intel and AMD can push video driver support and maximum utilization of their video chips.

I mean, they won't. They just want to stamp chips and not deal with software.
Can I say - For RAG based system using LLM, will it be more effective to structure the source documents in this way?
Hopefully changing laws will cure companies from this delusional take. Most reasonable people don't think this way.
The other way round. You stick a search engine in front of your LLM to selectively feed it facts relevant to your query, which the LLM synthesizes in its own words.
Presumably all the structure and section headings that they recommend don't have to be rendered by a browser as visible to humans. The LLMs should be smart enough to understand HTML directives that don't add a lot of unnecessary visual structure.
Of course it could be better, so why doesn't Apple show us all what really streamlined and well implemented third party app store support looks like?

People here upset about refusals seem to not understand the market for AI, who the customers are, or where the money is.

The target market is large companies who will pay significant sums of money to save hundreds of millions, or billions, of dollars in labor costs by automating various business tasks.

What do these companies need? Reliable models that will provide accurate information with good guardrails.

They will not use a model that poses any risk of embarrassing them. Under no circumstances does a large multinational insurance company want the possibility that their support chatbot could write erotica for some customer with a car policy who thinks it might be funny to trick the AI.

It doesn't matter if you're "offended." You can use it, but you're not the user. Think about the people these are designed to replace: the customer service agents, the people who perform lots of emotional labor. You think their employers don't want a tightly controlled, cheerful, guardrailed human replacement?
I went through an acqui-hire with the same structure - ironically, it was to be part of Ben's group at a different company.

In our case, they genuinely wanted the whole engineering team, so the interviews were pretty friendly, and our offers were fair. I'm not sure that was the case here, and I'm sure that came through in the tone of the conversation.
Because it’s better to let the criminal lie to investigators before you go nuclear on them, it strengthens the case if you can document intent to mislead and lie, and removes the opportunity for lawyerly “this is all a big misunderstanding that could have been avoided if they just asked, your honor!” defenses.
That sounds terrible; I often look away to the side when I am thinking..
If this is true, this is pretty bad. An audit paper trail, at the very least, should be necessary.

It could likely also be injected via malicious websites, force-shared google docs etc.
