The worst part of it for me is how I can't really trust anything. Cheap, expensive, brand, generic, it doesn't matter, I can't trust it. I feel like I can only trust stuff I've made myself. If only I had infinite time to learn how to make everything.
Poorly written papers could be an opportunity for automated laboratories, similar to supercomputer resources. Researchers could replicate with a click.

This would require more modular lab setups, where centrifuge, pipettes, and other equipment is "instantiated" into a space, and workflows are largely administered by robots.

The pursuit of cost savings for reagents and hardware could enable nano-scale "labs on a plate."
I'm confused - has there been any implication that (if this was a murder) it was "state-sanctioned"?

For now it is holding up and "feels" sturdy after a couple years, but I have no doubt it will fail at least 5 years before I would otherwise expect it to (I would want 10 years, but now expect 5). My fault for trusting Ikea + higher end = good without further verification.

> According to a 2021 RfC discussion, there is unanimous consensus among editors that Rolling Stone is generally unreliable for politically and societally sensitive issues reported since 2011 (inclusive), though it must be borne in mind that this date is an estimate and not a definitive cutoff, as the deterioration of journalistic practices happened gradually.

I have actually, alongside my work of compressing moves. My compression scheme averages about 150 bits per position, or about 35% of the standard text notation in EPD format.

The thing I optimized for is that there’s very often repeated blank spaces or repeated pawns on the same rank.

Also instead of storing castling status separately, it’s stored as a separate piece on the appropriate rook.

These take advantage of the fact that there’s 6 pieces, so 3 bits to encode them leaves two options remaining. One is PawnRepeating and the other is RookCastleAvailable, in my scheme.

There’s probably improvements to be made. I’ll write a post on it when it’s finalized.
- "And something like zobrist hashing for looking up a given position"

Which gets particularly good if you combine it with some hack like a Bloom filter. There's a trick, I don't remember if it has a name, where you can effect a time/space tradeoff by partitioning a search set and building a separate Bloom filter for each partition. A lookup is a constant-time query of each Bloom filter, plus a linear scan of each partition that signaled a match.

(This is a reasonable thing to do, because (0) the size of chess databases can get extremely large and (1) the queries are human UX interactions that need to be responsive).

I disagree. The language was probably more inspired by C#, which is itself inspired by Java. Type erasure is just part of transpiling to JS.
Can anyone (maybe ollama contributors) explain to me the relationship between llama.cpp and ollama?

I always thought that ollama basically just was a wrapper (i.e. not much changes to inference code, and only built on top) around llama.cpp, but this makes it seem like it is more than that?

If you're interested in creative writing or reading critically, I highly recommend the Writing Excuses podcast [0]. The podcast was started by Brandon Sanderson (he wrote the Mistborn series as well as The Stormlight Archive), Howard Tayler (he made the webcomic Schlock Mercenary), and Dan Wells (he wrote I Am Not a Serial Killer). The episodes are on the short side (15 minutes), but I find that it strikes a nice balance between feeding you information and giving you something to ruminate over.

There are 5 hosts in the current season (I am admittedly a bit bummed that Sanderson isn't participating right now as a main host), with a comprehensive range of perspectives across media. For example, DongWon Song[1] is a literary agent and former editor, while Mary Robinette [2] is a puppeteer, short story writer, and a voice actress.

As a little bonus (with longer-form content), Brandon Sanderson has a series of recorded lectures from his 2020 college creative writing course [3]. He does a nice deep-dive into the minutiae of constructing a story from start to finish, with additional considerations for publishing near the end. I have to admit I'm a little biased as I'm trying to write more in my free time, but the lectures offer a lot even for those who don't write or plan to write. Just getting a closer look inside the mind of an author has greatly impacted the way I read and scrutinize books.

It's true that copyright violations are a concern for photographers, however some online photographer communities really need to take a chill pill regarding copyright.

I've seen some photographers wanting to sue clients because they cropped or modified their wedding pictures when posting them online. "It doesn't reflect my style" is the argument I've seen excusing this behaviour. I understand that there's a creative aspect to photography, but in my opinion it's mostly linked to subject choice and overall aesthetic. In wedding pictures, the subject is pretty obvious and non-novel, the artistic choices around background / decoration are not made by the photographer, and (this is IMO the crucial point) the photographer is paid for their time while they create the pictures. This makes it pretty clearly a "work made for hire" in terms of copyright, which should be pretty familiar to everyone here.

Now, a photographer that goes out on their own, sees something that nobody else saw, captures it in an interesting way, makes a beautiful edit of said capture, and finally sells that picture on their website; that absolutely is creative work and wholly deserves copyright protection.

I feel like when there is financial malfeasance, we find enough cases of it in the wild to document that it has really happened. Whether it's Enron, or stories of lobbyists and politicians acting in self interest in ways that break the law, or even just municipal officials embezzling, we have known cases of that. So if you ever have the feeling that big financial transactions might be ethically questionable, you can at least know that such things have happened in the wild.

I think the same is true of war crimes in wars - enough of the worst type of things have really happened, and been documented, so there's nothing on the face of it that is outlandish if you heard a new report of such a thing.

But how about deaths in suspicious circumstances like this one? Is there a historical record of these kinds of things being carried out, especially in the western world, in circumstances where the motive is corporate self-interest? What's the most clear cut case we have of something falling in that falls into (for lack of a better term) the Michael Clayton category?
Transparency in the Rental Ecosystem
Yeah this article is kind of annoying. I've started foraging for mushrooms in the past few months and I've never found a morel but I know they're poisonous when raw. It even says so on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morchella#Toxicity

There are plenty of gaps in knowledge about mushrooms, and there's a lot of unknowns about the ecology of morels but plenty of people eat these all the time.
I think about the alternate timeline where Aaron Swartz is still around more than any other.
I have a hunch that the not everything you do as a researcher is novel. A part of it is, like you mention, new by definition.

But there's also the old and established parts, like statistics, parts of the experimental setup, methodology, reporting data accurately (or at all). This is plenty enough to have objective standards for.

A lot of fraud is not in making up experimental results, but instead misreporting the data and drawing unsupported conclusions.
At the moment, x86 is mainly hanging on in legacy spaces because of backward compatibility. Everything new is RISC including Apple's newer Macs. Windows computers still run on x86 because people buy Windows to run legacy code. Playstation and Xbox run on x86 because that makes porting games from Windows more convenient.

My view, even when I was studying RISC V in grad school around 6 years ago, was that RISC is clearly superior technically and this would only become more obvious with Moore's Law dying. I think subsequent events are only confirming this view. The strongest evidence for it is that nobody would even think about making a new CISC architecture that isn't x86.

What grants speed to Julia code is type assertions, at least in the case where the assertions lead to type stability. The compiler balances speed (of compilation) and accuracy, when inferring types and deciding what methods to specialize. If and when it can't figure that out, adding a type assert give it more ability to assume the assertion is accurate.

Concrete types in a function signature also work as assertions, so it's one way to force the compiler's hand this way. In many cases it's better to assert the arguments, rather than the parameters, to keep the method itself generic. The main reason to add types to a method is to allow multiple dispatch to pick that method of the function for values of the specified type.

Completely personal anecdote.

I lived in China for a couple of years and worked really hard to learn Mandarin. The turning point for me was in the shape of my mouth. When speaking Mandarin, I had to close/tighten my mouth more than if I was speaking English. I think a lot of the tonal languages require you to close your mouth down, whereas English is spoken more with an open mouth. That can be tough and weird for people to do.

So my advice honestly is to try talking like a Texan. Talk with a big voice, amplify your voice, and open your mouth up.

>He was not testifying against Boeing for anything to do with their planes. He already did that and has been public about it since 2019. This deposition was for the appeal for his own civil defamation case against Boeing, which he orginially lost. So Boeing was not threatened by his testimony in anyway. Even if they lost the case or settled, it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the harm he has already caused them and other legal issues they are already having...

Here is what I am saying:

- Apple is making a multi-modal LLM.

- There are a lot of pre-existing multi-modal LLMs that perform well.

- Their interface is essentially standardized. You could call it an API to AI models.

- Apple will utilize a standardized interface when developing and deploying their multi-modal LLM.

- The end user will not be able to "choose" "which" multi-modal LLM their end-user software on iOS devices will interact with.

- This is really bad, because Apple is not likely to make the best multi-modal LLM, or to have the best multi-modal LLM at all times, so it harms the end-user.
You're missing an important detail of Huffman codes: they need to be prefix-free so you can actually tell when one value ends and another begins.

A simplified example: suppose you have four letters in your alphabet that you want to represent in binary. You can't just represent these as A=0, B=1, C=10, and D=01, since it's impossible to tell whether "01011" is meant to represent ABABB or DDA or ACBB.

(Hamming codes on the other hand are intended for error correction, where you want maximally distant code words to minimize the chance that bitflips cause decoding errors.)
Based on that nova definition, handmade extruded pasta colored with beet juice is an ultra processed food.
My rule of thumb is more information is better and gatekeepers are bad.

What is the other option. Welfare exists as is and is just part of the social services offered by the government. For a lot of poor people there isn't a job that will offer them a living wage because they don't have skills yet to demand that. Bad jobs are ways to show that you have the skills to be on time come in everyday ect. Bad jobs allow people to build skills at low risk to the employer so they can demand higher wages over time.

Not everyone can work a full time job and the government shouldn't get in peoples way of earning money however they see fit.

In my experience not everyone with schizophrenia / a schizoaffective disorder is able to communicate their experience very well, but some of them have published content about it and it can be quite a fascinating research subject.

I'm not aware of any articles myself, only videos, but if you're open to that I have a few recommendations that you could start with.

My favorite example would probably be this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU8VmJsX6-s

It may also be worth checking this one out, which is a review of various "schizophrenia simulations" (in other words, depictions): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60n7ZP3Cj-4

There are also videos that aren't necessarily credible sources, but that I find thought-provoking regardless. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHuFSnhKG9I

I don't have schizophrenia myself, but I have DID and a few other mental illnesses, so the topic of mental illness in general is particularly interesting to me. Learning about others' experiences can teach me things about myself, too.
Urbanized area should have 5G competitors. They suck, but they exist.

Urbanized should have had municipal wifi and even fiber, but regulatory capture in broadband is a bitch.

Maybe what is needed is a "local wifi collective" that can serve an apartment building from a single fiber or a fiber-to-directed wifi link to the building and then general wifi/wiring inside the building itself.

The fact there is zero innovation on this front shows the power of the regulatory capture by the big two. Nobody even bothers trying anymore, and any politicians that would support competitors have been effectively eliminated from the system.
On second thought I think duration of persistence of vision (or afterimages) doesn't matter, but more the velocity of the object which your eye is following and the amount of angular "resolution" your eye can perceive. If your focus moves X amount while the object is lit, if that distance is more than the angular "resolution" your eye can perceive, it will appear as some blur behind the object.

You made me think about an interesting point I long avoided going into.
> And the cameras just happened to be out of order when he chose to kill himself of course.

I know you think this is really brilliant invective, but it just reveals that you don't know what you're talking about.

Epstein was being monitored by guards and cameras in part because he had already tried to kill himself once. (I suppose you don't dispute that?)

The cameras you're referring to are the specific cameras with his cell door in their FOV. MCC New York had a history of such lapses, and the cameras were seized and analysed by the FBI. No evidence was found of anything other than the US prison system being shitty.

But more importantly there were functioning cameras showing the entrance to Epstein's block from the accessible communal area an assassin would have used for entrance/egress. From the DOJ report:

> Thus, anyone entering or attempting to enter Epstein’s SHU tier from the SHU common area would have been picked up by that video camera.

No such person was seen.
I'd say 2005 to 2010 is probably more probably more appropriate for not really. By 2015, neural networks were already a really hot research topic. Just off the top of my head, the seq2seq paper was published in 2014 and U-Net and ResNet were published in 2015.

I suspect FAANGs got infected by these idea by hiring from more conservative institutions driven by their financial bottom-line. I've never worked at FAANGs but I've seen that arc at other companies as they scale. Practices that foster speed and innovation are supplanted by ones that favor predictability and safety.
