I think it's true that it can adjust, somewhat. I expect that it could handle slight variations such as moving any of the items on the table around by a few inches, or adding or removing a couple of plates from the rack. However, I do not expect that it could handle larger variations like replacing the apple with a pineapple, picking trash out of the dish rack or the cup instead of the plate, replacing the cup with a coffee mug, or sliding the dish rack over to the other side of the robot.

I'd love to be wrong but I expect that if they had that much flexibility in their controllers they would have demonstrated it.
And even mundane details are so difficult... thermal expansion, the sheer number of pins that have to line up. This thing is a marvel.
Letter-by-letter tokenization increases inference and training costs and latency (as you need more tokens)
Plenty of people (dare I say a majority?) commute to cities without living in them, and that often has nothing to do with the cost of housing and more personal preference.

I, for one, don't want to be forced to move every time I change jobs. I would much rather have the opportunity to take jobs in near by communities as well (assuming I didn't work from home of course).

Firebolt is a full stack React framework that lets you focus on shipping. It has built-in support for CSS-in-JS, simple and flexible file based routing, and a powerful way to fetch data or interact with databases directly inside your components.

New ML Interpretability Library

Pre-2017 tech would have been up to the task. You'd create a bunch of generic animations and characters (all rigged up to the same skeletal system so all the animations work on all the characters), and design composable elements for a scene. Then use ML categorization techniques to label both popular YouTube videos and your pieces. From there it would be mostly automated: the ML agent strings together scenes to create a bunch of videos, then use reinforcement learning to adjust and mutate content based on some metric of view counts.
University football and basketball coaches are also government employees. They have no problem receiving millions of dollars in compensation.

I would say (from my own experience) it is a factor, but not the only one.

There are also enormous social pressures to stay in abusive relationships: people feel free to tell you you should stay in a relationship, that it can be fixed, etc. Very few people are willing to tell someone they should leave a relationship. So, what you hear is everyone thinks it should be fixed rather than ended.

There are many practical difficulties in ending a relationship too: financial, legal.

There are also many things in pop culture and media that can encourage it: normalisation of what are actually controlling behaviours, for example. The even "when you are right you are wrong" trope is just one common version of this.
The Drunken Sailor Aftermath – Founder Fraud
Supply chain attack aimed at crypto wallets
Please, I beg for your sensibility and brief attention here. This issue continues to tear fissures in what seem like otherwise reasonable and literate communities.

The sentence in question is:

"Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza-like illness (ILI)/COVID-19 like illness compared to not wearing masks (risk ratio (RR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84 to 1.09; 9 trials, 276,917 participants;"

This is very typical wording, and a very typical application of limited data, for a Cochrane review. There's nothing here that jumps out, on first read or after ingestion of all of the primaries, which I'm guessing we've all done multiple times.

I think we all agree with you (and thus, with Soares-Weiser) about the frustration (heck, downright confounding) resulting from the lack of evidence. Top experts from every one of the big 5 have repeatedly called for and proposed RCTs to solve this problem.

...but there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking at these data and concluding that, in each statistically-significant case, masking "probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of" ILI.

Is it possible that a larger, properly-powered RCT will find that some form of N95 application will have some effect on community transmission? Sure. We'd all love to know about that.

It it possible that a larger, properly-powered RCT will find a similar outcome from cloth masks? No. Not unless all of the current data on the matter is completely flawed.

Is it possible that even a small, properly-powered RCT will find statistically significant reductions in individual transmission from source control measures? Yes! That's possible! And that's the topic of this entire thread - we're talking about an individual patient largely confined to an iron lung.

Has that RCT been performed? No.

Can we all agree on at least these limited, well-defined assessments of the available data?
Thanks! And you're right about performance. The "just in time" approach as an alternative to the monolithic minified CSS file has proven to be quite interesting on this subject.
>we had no problem building houses for people in the 50s and 60s. Why all the sudden we can't do it in the last 20 years?

Yea, it's actually pretty easy. Just get in a time machine and go back to 1956 when the Federal Highway Act made all that development possible, and just tell them to build sixteen-lane highways through every major city instead of two-lane highways. Explain that in 70 years, those highways will be operating overcapacity, so that a commute in and out of the city will not be able to operate at optimal speed of a vehicle, so that traveling 30 miles will not take 30 minutes, rather it will often take 60 minutes or longer, thus making central real estate more valuable. Which, in turn, creates a feedback loop that makes the viable transportation range of the urban center smaller and smaller. And, thus, makes the real estate in that smaller area more and more valuable. However, if you can get those highways doubled or tripled in size it should stop that feedback loop for now.

Once you convince them to do that, feel free to come back to 2024, and all our development concerns will go away for another 70 years, at which point, someone will have to get in the time machine to make it 38 lane highways.

Look up Micro studio apartments. They often are just small private rooms with a shared kitchen.

Completely agree.

Indeed, I think my ideal target for the first beta users would probably be either small frameworks, or medium size plugins, etc. Frameworks are ideal because they normally have a large amount of contributors (so a lot of potential "helpers") and a lot of people that need support. They also may not have as much documentation as more mature frameworks and therefore possible more people that need help. Of course the end goal would be to work for all types of projects but instead of trying to build the "kitchen sink, I definitely want to concentrate on certain types of users first and get some feedback before moving on further.

As for donations, yes I was thinking the same. I was working on subscriptions (recurring donations) and one-time donations but I shelved this for now until I get some more testing done. I firmly believe (and feedback so far supports this) that people would prefer to use one platform and have one setup for things like that. Doesn't mean they HAVE to, but for people first setting up revenue generating tools, this could be a good plus for them. I also agree, I think a "tip" function could be a great idea and pretty easy to implement.

RE: funds - I shall have to look into this as another feature also, as I can definitely see the usefulness in this but requires some thought of how to implement, great idea!

Thanks again for your detailed feedback, it's much appreciated and hard to come by. It sounds like your project is doing very well, I'm very happy to hear! Massive congrats on building such a huge, useful and widely used software!

I just watched your video / presentation, very insightful and sounds like we're very much aligned in terms of ethos / reasons for getting into things. As for having worked with investors, I couldn't agree more about losing control and having misaligned goals, I am trying to avoid this, for now at least for those very reasons.

Perhaps this dates me.. but for me and my industry, there was a standing expectation that you would stay late and work as hard as necessary to get the job done. Thankfully, labor laws in California have changed since then, but during that time, it was an exceptionally draining experience trying to "climb the ladder," and not being able to come home and experience any sort of solace was soul crushing to me. It literally became my only motivation for a year and half was to get out of that environment to somewhere I could have space and peace and quiet with zero expectations of intrusions or interruptions.
a search engine that indexes only the highest quality

Any for-profit search engine eventually loses quality as it succumbs to ad spend.

It'd require subsidies to remain profit-neutral (skew towards quality). Think ycombinator and HN.

Even a subscription model will eventually skew towards placating the masses with "dumbed down" content.
Actually, yes, we would allow such a thing. Plenty of our news organizations are foreign – owned, and many of them are very elegant to your hypothetical printing press. The US simply doesn’t have the constitutional or legal framework to regulate content reproduction for ideological reasons.
Hm, let's wait and see what the gemm/W perf is, and how many programmer hours it takes to implement say an mlp. Wafer scale data flow may not be a solved problem?
Is it? When you're saying that, I think you're imagining your neighbor, not your oligarch.

When one country tries to cause chaos in another, they use a two pronged approach. (1) they offer a country's aristocracy the ability to enrich themselves at the cost of their people. This could be things like cheap labor, gas pipelines, or being the guarantor of loans. (2) They tell a countries peasantry that the worlds problems are simple and that their government is their enemy and failing them. This is only empowered by having compromised their aristocracy, so their government is failing them.

Then they put their fingers on the scale by providing resources (weapons, funding, press, intelligence, etc.) to an aligned entity capable of promoting their interests.

It's worth considering that the great firewall of china exists explicitly because the Chinese government (rationally) thinks it's risky to subject people who were subsistence farming a generation ago to foreign influence.

The cost of freedom is responsibility, and if you have an irresponsible (read: poorly educated/non critical thinking) populace, then people will unwittingly surrender their freedom. Freedom means the freedom to do the wrong thing, but that can result in bending or breaking.
Putin would tell you that Comrade Wolf turned tail
The reason "AI used to be an academic term indicating research into having machines mimicking human intelligence," and it's not anymore, is because the machines have successfully imitated human intelligence according to Alan Turing's definition and are the physical embodiment of what he wrote about.

Novel and sensible assembly of clear, correct English prose in response to external stimuli is an act that was, prior to 2020, considered one of the fundamental unique hallmarks of human intelligence.

We do not have a shared understanding of what "intelligence" means. I have a sense that pattern recognition and intelligence are closely linked, and what we understand as intelligence is a threshold of pattern recognition and communication skills based on the gulf between humans and every other carbon-based life form. Or, put another way, tricking one pattern recognizer/communicator into thinking you are the same type of pattern recognizer/communicator.

In the SwiftUI framework, lazy layout containers such as List and LazyVStack provide a method for efficiently displaying large datasets. These containers are ingeniously designed to dynamically build and load views only when necessary, thereby significantly optimizing the app’s performance and memory efficiency. This article will explore some practical tips and important considerations aimed at enhancing developers’ ability to leverage SwiftUI’s lazy containers for improved app responsiveness and resource management.

Yes, less predictability is a part of the problems from the unconstrained search space. I think technically there is a room for improvement, but this usually needs ML expertise, which most of game designers and engineers do not have at this moment.

There's very clear jurisprudence on when free speech can be abridged, and it's not "vague suspicions of being nefarious".

In the 2000s it was the arabs, in the 90s it was the Japanese, in the 80s it was the Russians. What would it look like if we had accumulated laws inhibiting speech from each group? We'd practically have a great firewall by now.
In principle, yes, in practice, no; real-world mutations are (more often than not) non-random and their frequencies can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, the location of the mutated gene or region within the bundled chromatin structure inside the cell nucleus (this structure is highly conserved into what are known as topologically associated domains, or TADs), or the interaction between a region of DNA and cellular machinery that increases the likelihood of some mutation. There are tons of examples.

In practice, we've now molecularly characterized most well-studied cancers and know that they tend to have the same mutations. For example, certain DNMT3A mutations are very common in AML and the BCR-ABL fusion protein in CML (and results from an interaction between chromosomes 9 and 22 that produces the mutant 'Philadelphia chromosome'). There are even a wide range of cancers that share similar patterns of mutations and fall under the umbrella of 'RAS-opathies', which all exhibit some kind of mutation in a subset of genes on a specific pathway related to cell differentiation and growth. Examples include certain subtypes of colon cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, among many others.

More generally, when a cancer is subtyped, that subtyping is always done with respect to some quantifiable biological trait or clinical endpoint and – as you've hinted – that subtyping is commonly a statistical assessment. Each cancer is unique and, even within an individual cancer, we have clonal subpopulations – groups of cells with differing mutations, characteristics, and behaviors. That's one of the reasons treating cancer can be so challenging; even if we eliminate one clonal population entirely, another resistant group may take its place. The implication is that cancers that emerge with post-treatment relapse are often 1. more or completely resistant to the original therapy, and 2. exhibit different behaviors and resistance, often to the detriment of the patient's outcome.

> I strongly support CCP's policies in Xinjiang, it is anti-terrorism for sure. That being said, I wouldn't call those angry & brainwashed Tibetans "terrorists".

The weird thing is that the CCP is much more worried about Tibet than Xinjiang. As a foreigner, I can buy a plane ticket to Urumqi today, no restrictions on needing a guide to tour in most places. But Tibet...ugh...so much paper work just to visit Lhasa, and I need a minder if I ever leave Lhasa.

The biggest problem with the party is that they always put hardliners in charge of Tibet and Xinjiang (let's be clear, the party chair controls the autonomous regions, not the ceremonial local governer). They unnecessarily stir the pot to create tension, that then explodes every 10 or so years.

I don't think it is even Bill, he has been hands off for a decade or two, but there are people in Microsoft's chinese leadership who are well connected.
