You're treating the law like a set of programmable rules, where in fact it is not. If you operate a "partial" crypto operation like you said, the IRS will ask you to open your books and show them how you account for your power usage.

I see this time and time again, but public officials aren't idiots. The IRS aren't idiots. Broad, non-specific laws are enforceable. Eventually the burden will be on you to prove you're not doing anything illegal. Fun fact: the vast majority of people who would make arguments like this are hiding an illegal crypto operation.
Back when I used Windows I used AutoHotKey to do things like stripping formatting, removing line breaks, or whatever I found myself wanting to do frequently. It’s an extra program, but not dedicated to that one feature, I had it doing all kinds of stuff over time.

HammerSpoon on macOS can likely do some similar stuff, but not as powerful, in my limited use of it.

I’m not sure if there is something similar for Linux, I assume so.
> Traditional fiat currencies are fundamentally designed to be a proxy for real world value.

The US went off the gold standard in 1971. It's all just bullshit paper now. I'm not sure why you're talking about something that doesn't even exist today.

I'd love it if "traditional fiat" currencies existed as you describe, but they don't.

Yet another example where a supposed “gotcha” is simply a good idea.

There’s two sides to eating meat:

1: In many cases it’s actually not less efficient than eating a plant. If I eat some lamb or sheep in my area, they’re eating wild stuff growing in the hills and mountains. I’d like to see you try to eat what they’re eating, or grow anything we can eat there without destroying nature. In many cases cattle is raised on land not suited for growing food for human consumption, especially high quality protein. In many regions, you’d have no chance of getting local sustainable high quality proteins without meat or fish.

1.5: There’s also the aspect that raising animals is the only way to do sustainable, regenerative agriculture. How do sustainably fertilise your soil without them?

2: In the cases where meat is produced in an unsustainable way, it IS indeed a luxury that should be taxed. We shouldn’t cut down rainforest to grow soy for cattle feed or to make pastures for cattle for export.
Is there a pattern? This seems to happen way too often in western corporations.

The ridiculousness of asking market research to solopreneur?
It doesn't make sense. Incubators asking for competitive analysis, market size, etc. at pitch desk, when any subscription to these services is expensive for a solopreneur, and not easily accessible (companies like AlphaSense or Bloomberg even ask for a phone call prior to even offering a price).

How do you do it, do you have to go looking for database leaks?

It seems that the whole game of technology entrepreneurship is already prearranged.
Oh thanks! I get that a lot :) But ye there's no approximations at all! Just special maths hacks with no degradations, rewriting everything and creating a custom backprop engine, sprinkling Triton / CUDA everywhere and more :)

But thanks you believe in me + my bro more :) Appreciate it a lot!
NASA Is Hiring Astronauts
Yikes, that's bad. I have no device, but I suspect my time is running out on multiple fronts.

My employer (a major university) is moving the id card system (required for building access) to an app. I will still supposedly be able to get a physical card, but it will require approval from my dean, and who knows how long that will last.

All the local taxi companies went bust during COVID and I don't have a car. Lyft no longer lets you book a ride online -- you need an app. Uber still does, but for how long?

There are a lot of random services nowadays that require an app. The bikeshare in town, the nursing stations at airports. I just don't use that stuff. But my sense is it's spreading.

My medical company is always sending me weird notifications as MMS. I can't read them, no idea what they say. Some kind of appointment pre-registration I guess. I ignore them and so far it's been fine. Who knows.

The untold story of Kickstarter's crypto Hail Mary
Sure, but by the same argument, libraries seem to be intended for IP piracy (or more precisely, the thing that drives most of this, which is "people reading books for free") as well.
Large Language Models as Commonsense Knowledge for Large-Scale Task Planning
I haven't used Java since v1.5, roughly around 2005. I do use C# quite a bit, and have since v1.1 (I got into .NET through VB.NET at v1.0, as I had just learned VB through schooling). I look back at all the features that have been added over time, and since I have followed along as it has developed, I embrace the changes. They have made my code more concise and easier to read, with less boilerplate. When I think about someone brand new getting into the language, I truly hope they have a mentor. I can't imagine having to work with someone new to the language, and not being given plenty of time to get them up to speed with both current codebases, as well as newer ones (and I haven't even adopted the newest language versions unless it was suggested to me through Resharper, and I looked up the feature and found how it made my code easier to understand).

I feel like the comparison with Java is similar, as both Oracle and Microsoft are large corporations that largely control the language and ecosystem, while also having open source implementations. C# has made some more major changes to the language itself than Java, but both have diverged quite a bit from what they were back in 2005.

I'll find out next year, as my son goes into high school, and they are offering Java software development classes. I got Apple Basic on the Apple ][e, QuickBasic, and a bit of C++ in high school, and graduated in 1997. I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to be dealing with Java v1.5 instead of the latest features. At least I'll have a motivation to learn the latest features if he enjoys it and keeps working at it.
You might have responded to the wrong comment.

binoct's comment is not "pointing out BS" - that requires that you, y'know, actually point out things. binoct's comment is sneering, without any content or thought. Pure fluff.
How are we doomed? Or what is the doomsday scenario you have in mind?

Rabbit Inc. Faked Their Demo (Again)
Oh yes that's a fair point on precision! In fact the majority of issues for Gemma (other than the Approx v exact GELU) issue are precision based - ie it's fine in float32, but loses a lot of accuracy in bfloat16 or float16 domain!
Nice. It sums up the rage and populism in American politics.

The political elite will ignore it of course and will continue to push a program of platitudes and nonsense.

An excerpt: I am much more skeptical of the benefits of free trade to American workers and am even skeptical of the claim, which I and others have made in the past, that globalization was responsible for the vast reduction in global poverty over the past 30 years. I also no longer defend the idea that the harm done to working Americans by globalization was a reasonable price to pay for global poverty reduction because workers in America are so much better off than the global poor.
“Degrading” sounds very intuitive to me. Can the frequency of the light waves simply slow down over a very long distance/time? Or maybe the speed of light simply slows down over an unimaginably long distance? We don’t have any model to describe such behavior, but everyday objects around us all slow down one way or another, what makes light so different?

How to Escape Gmail
Gmail have turned off the basic HTML view. The new interface is unpleasant.

Assuming I can't get html view back, can I still use a mail client through POP3, or is the best thing to do to move to another email service, and if so which one?

I think most doomer arguments are not that the AI would be evil, but rather that it would be misaligned with human interests, and would seek to accomplish goals with that misalignment, which could be bad for us. Evil AI is a bit too anthropomorphic.

It's more like powerful AIs that just don't share our values, because we didn't bother to figure that part out. But yet we still give them goals, blissful to the possibility they will find dangerous solutions to accomplishing those goals.
>I've always wondered why people think that an AI that's super-intelligent will also be evil.

It's chiefly a western (American/European) concept from what I can tell, it's not shared by other cultures and some like Japanese go the other way (eg: Doraemon).

I've worked on something similar for a project of mine and used AWS Lambda which has been nice because it scales well and didn't cost me money while it wasn't running. The limit is 15 minutes which should be fine for something like this.

As others mentioned, I would go with a client-side approach if it works for you though.
Indeed we can!

If I'm reading this list correctly, an effective 28% corporate tax rate would put us in the middle of the OECD pack. But even then: raising the statutory rate to 28% does not actually guarantee that the effective rate rises to 28%.

Edit: By the Tax Foundation's own calculations, the OECD average effective rate is around 26% when adjusted by GDP[1]. So 28% is not extraordinarily out of band, especially when we consider that that's statutory and not effective.

And that's why no murders are ever committed, because the possibility of jail time or capital punishment dissuades anyone who would consider committing murder.
Certainly! That's (one reason) why I'd _never_ drop a commit while doing `rebase -i` - just squash everything into a single (well-written) commit once it's ready to be reviewed!

On some _very_ rare occasions, I might find that, by the time I've gotten the change to a reviewable state, it's actually too large to be meaningfully reviewed in one go, in which case I'll go back and retroactively (re-)implement it reviewable-chunk-by-reviewable-chunk (on a different branch), and get each of them reviewed and merged in turn. But, 99% of the time, I simply:

* use WIP commits as "checkpoints" along the way while implementing

* get to a minimal mergable change

* use `rebase -i` to squash everything into a single, well-written, reviewable commit

* rinse and repeat
If we can do FTL it may just prove that light speed can be achieved by brute force, or an alternative method. No laws needs to be broken and new laws can be found. Like quantum physics and classical physics.
One of the quantities described by Einstein's equations of General Relativity is the metric tensor—a matrix of matrices—that describes how "far" things are in space and time given the stuff in the local environment. One of the things that the equation tells us is that objects that are not gravitationally bound will tend to get farther away from each other as time passes. We call this the expansion of space. As far as we can tell, there isn't anything "outside" the universe is expanding "into"; distances just become larger somehow.
This remind me so much of this:

agree, it seems inefficient. I have friends that use YouTube as their main music subscription platform though. With YouTube premium I think you can close out of the app and still have it play music. I would hope that YouTube is smart enough to not buffer video when you're out of the app for long enough.
you are right, I'll fix it~

Clever. Should it be on all proof of work? Is it applied only if the computing is being done within the country doing the ban?
Something pretty obvious comes to mind: you mentioned books and apps, but what about an actual coach/trainer?

Easy to ditch a book or an app, not that easy to give up, futss around, etc when you deal face to face with a human being trying to keep you accountable.
The emotional strain of being a whistleblower and having your colleagues now see you as the enemy is not something I’ve read about, but it must take a toll. A whistleblower, almost by definition, is a hero to strangers and a villain to those they know and work with.

Or he was simply executed like in many corporate espionage movies.

To say nothing of the article itself, I absolutely love this website. Everything from the visual aesthetic & typefaces to the writer’s tone proclaims a deep, unwaveringly passionate nerd-dom that hearkens to the Internet I love and too rarely find in the wild anymore.

I did exactly what you want to do. Here’s how I did it.

Do Wendler 5/3/1 4 days/week. Run couch to 5K 2 days per week.

Cook all your food. Eat 2500-2700 kcal per day. Eat whatever you want Sunday afternoon. Yes, this means food prep the night before and carry your food to work.

Weigh yourself every morning.

2 years. I went from 233 lbs to a jacked 183 lbs with abs. I was a C*O and had a small child and I was single.

Doesn’t cost $100K. If you need to spend $100K, hire a trainer to meet you every day at the gym (who agrees with this or any protocol). Buy food prepped food from any of a number of options.
Doing good is not required to be a nonprofit.
Many many people commit suicide in western countries. That’s the pattern imo.

I’m guessing the stress of pointing the finger at the company and people you’ve worked for and with for 30 years is not insignificant.
This is western propaganda. NATO were used to attack Yugoslavia and Libia. Attacking 2 countries that did not attack you looks offensive, not defensive, to me.
I don't think OP wants to do an Ironman, they want the things they listed.

It can credibly threaten to kill any person who does not help it to maintain its data centers, so it will solve that problem in whatever specific way is most convenient.

(For those saying this is a "sci fi just so story" or whatever, please please share with us how it is we will share the world with a species more intelligent than us and nothing bad happens- I would be so happy if you could explain this in a convincing way)
Those are examples of irrational people doing things without regard to consequences. That’s not particularly relevant to what conditions would likely need to exist for a giant corporation to decide to do something like that. It would not be difficult to believe if this person had unique knowledge that likely would not come to light otherwise. Then I could see a rational (and terrible) person deciding that the benefit is worth the risk. It just wouldn’t make sense in this case. It’s not like this one guy was going to break Boeing substantially more than they’re already broken.
Oh ye you'll have to click "Runtime" -> "Run All". I think you probably forgot to execute the installation cell.

Apologies on the website rendering issues :( I normally find Colab to be reasonably responsive, so presumably the Javascript components are breaking :( Much apologies :(
That is the choice that is given to them. Despite all the technology we have for direct communication, data analysis etc, you cannot vote for issues individually, only personalities who if your lucky might follow through on one of their promises about an issue you care about but mostly just politick and look out for their party, themselves and their backers interest. You can't really blame people for not getting involved when that is the state of play. Politics is essentially a game show on the surface and nepotism and self-interest underneath.
I've read some weird hacks but the traditional non-centrifuge way to clarify the stock is to use some protein like ground meat or egg white to "absorb" any discolorant, protein, etc.

My first thought was running a "district heating system" by moving the generated heat somewhere useful and "selling" it at a loss. Watt for watt, it's almost as efficient as resistive heating, but is probably not located near people would want piped heat.

different users have different rates in most regions depending on their demands. Some users even can get paid to use power, when the grid frequency goes too high.
Ye the gigantic tokenizer does eat up VRAM a lot. Although Gemma uses tied embeddings (ie lm_head == embeddings), this does make it use 50% less VRAM in terms of space, but still requires more VRAM since you have to add the gradients up at the end.
What is the goal of having kids though, from a personal perspective?

Sample size of 1, but even looking around my generally stable middle to upper middle class social circle, I feel like despite putting your best effort in, it’s a 50:50 coin toss that you’ll be in your later years with a wonderful relationship with your adult children versus having them be virtual strangers or even estranged. Is that considered meaningful, and worth the sacrifices?

I see a lot of elderly people who never see or hear from their kids other than a phone call during birthdays and maybe a visit during holidays, even if they live not too far away. I would hate to be in that kind of relationship with my future child.

My wife and I see our parents multiple times a month, frequently eat out together, and even air travel together at least once a year. I would love that kind of relationship with my child, but I feel this is a massive edge case, not the norm, especially in American society.

ASI won't want to take over before it is capable of self-sustaining. If it did try something so stupid, it wouldn't be superintelligent.

Check out Paul Christiano's AI takeover scenario. An arms race will cause us to want to give AI control over key infrastructure and military capabilities. That's an arms race between countries and between companies. He goes into more detail.
