Eventually, it'll become almost universally true that platforms will require you to allow them to use/sell your data for AI. Anti-AI training tech doesn't work because it either affects the quality of the data to humans, or it can be easily removed before it goes into the training dataset. I think we'll eventually have models that aren't affected by data poisoning, making the efforts doubly pointless.

Yeah high frequency sound is a good analogy. Starlink is in the 11&40GHz region with wavelengths measured in cm which is about the equivalent to 20kHz.

The other really annoying thing about radio waves is that even relatively long wavelengths can leak through really narrow cracks (<1mm) if they are long enough (eg a wavelength) in the right polarization.

I need to do some research on this, and I'd love to hear thoughts. I just bought a house. House is 9 years younger than my current one, and 3 miles over.

Since climate doesn't change in 3 miles (at least not here) I put in the same $ of monthly payments.

Solar: $10 / month more expensive. Yes I know electricity is going up, but on the other hand, this was like the bare minimum amount of panels to wipe out my bill and it didn't include any batteries.

Putting on solar means that the cost of putting in new tarp paper (which we need every 10-15 years) here in Phoenix goes up a lot. And since we have the Nuclear Palo Verde Generating Station nearby, which keeps the cost relatively low, I wonder if it's all worth it.

There are things about human language that are fundamentally at odds with effective communication with a computer (or engineering in general).

One example is ambiguity. Every human language has faculties for ambiguity, which is crucial in many human interactions and relationships. The ability to make implicit requests or suggestions while maintaining plausible deniability is valuable, even in situations that are non-adversarial.

In contrast, when communicating with an OS or engineering a mechanical device, ambiguity is a negative and it's crucial to use language that is deterministic.

There is a very real degree to which people are only capable of thinking clearly about complex systems to the degree they are comfortable with tools such as mathematics and programming that can be used to unambiguously describe them.

Voron build instructions sort of have an implied "Step 0" which is "Have a working 3d printer."

I first jumped into 3d printing by doing something equally insane -- I scratch built a delta printer (not from a kit or plans). TBH I would not recommend this type of approach whatsoever. It would have been much wiser and more productive to have started with a basic working machine first. Given the cost and performance of entry level machines today, there's really not any good rationale to do otherwise unless you are a self-loathing masochist.

Strength of signal isn't used because strength is an unreliable measure of distance.

You're exactly right and to me that's part of finding the 'right' solution for the organization. Sometimes you compromise for 'alignment', and heck sometimes you discover that those compromises were a better solution all along.

I'm currently messing around with a u-blox timing chip, the LEA-6T. It (and many other slightly-above-consumer grade u-blox chip) has a "survey-in" mode, where you tell it "yes, you are stationary" and it essentially averages into a fixed location. This was a $30 chip from China and it gets to 4cm accuracy in 10 min with a $10 antenna. Do that once and you have a location. If the chip reboots, you can either survey-in again, or just tell it where it is.

Highly likely the GPS module inside the Starlink device has this ability. Whether or not that functionality is exposed is up to the Starlink engineers I suppose.

Triweb users are able to do that, but they don't necessarily know that they need to do that. For example, the Cloudflare DNS dashboard displays "auto" as a TTL by default, and one has no idea how many seconds "auto" is for a TXT record.
Which is why one might create a mechanism, say a non-profit, that has an established, codified mission to combat such obviously foreseeable efforts.

I would say that in practice 80% of the values go on the stack, 18% in Box and 2% in an Arc/Rc. That's why Rust code tends to be fast: the common cases are really easy to represent with the borrow checker, so a hypothetical GC doesn't have to perform escape analysis to see if it is ok to specialise those allocations, while the more uncommon cases can still be represented, albeit more verbosely than a GCd language would need.
I'm not sure how many codebases started after 2010 I've seen that have "pcmpeqd" as a method name. This is something I think makes sense only in highly optimized code, but in business logic it's a pain to read.

This happens in smaller models because you reach parameter saturation very quickly.

> They just use that language to make it more popular.

I agree that sometimes issues are framed that way to get sympathy for a program’s beneficiaries, but I think it’s probably a bad tactic (from a marketing perspective) and an even worse move (from a policy design perspective) when programs are specifically designed to benefit the poor only.

The problem is that there are a lot of people who don’t like to think of themselves as “moochers”, or as in need; they have a reflexive negative attitude toward “welfare recipients”. Better to just make the programs universal, and to advertise them as universal; when everybody benefits, so do the poor, but it’s no longer a wedge issue, it’s just something we’re proud of that our society does. People who go to public school are just normal people. Yes, public school happens to benefit the poor. The fact that rich people can also send their kids to public school is not a problem, though, and it would hurt public school to frame it as something for the poor.

Certain controls -- like valves or vent dampers -- are not binary. Even if normal operation is either fully-closed or fully-open, it can technically be anywhere in between.

Having an absolute position sensor would tell you this, but is complex and expensive compared to having two binary state switches (fully-open vs fully-closed) which is also more expensive than a single state switch.

Probably in many cases it just isn't worth it to instrument beyond the single state, especially if the affect of the control is being monitored (eg: flow, temperature, power). However, communicating the state as accurately as possible is important to avoid confusion ("This valve says ON, so that's not the problem" vs "I can see this valve is NOT OFF, but let's double check it's fully-on?").

It's a bit more complicated than that. Your argument is essentially the universal approximation theorem applied to perceptrons with one hidden layer. Yes, such a model can approximate any algorithm to arbitrary precision (which by extension includes the human mind), but it is not computationally efficient. That's why people came up with things like convolution or the transformer. For these architectures it is much harder to say where the limits are, because the mathematical analysis of their basic properties is infinitely more complex.
