I don't think there is even a single "battleship" deployed today, the last ones were decommissioned about 30 years ago.[0]

By size, our largest naval combat ships are, of course, aircraft carriers (100,000t). Followed by amphibious assault ships (45,000t) and dock landing ships (16,000t). Then the fucking Zumwalt (16,000t), missile cruisers (9,600t), missile destroyers (8-10,000t), missile frigates (7,300t), and littoral combat ships (3-4,000t).

For now they're all capable of defending small drone swarms (proven up to 14 drones) just fine using their CIWS.[1] But they may need some weapon-systems upgrades to defend against thousands of drones. The CIWS currently has a minimum burst size of 60 rounds, so if just 60 rounds is enough to reliably take out a drone, then each CIWS has enough ammo to shoot down 25 drones. Typically there are 2 Phalanx on each ship, so they could shoot down up to 50 drones each, except the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship which has 3 Phalanx (max 75 drones) and the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers which have 3-4 phalanx (max 100 drones).

The expeditionary mobile bases (90-100,000t) do not have CIWS but generally aren't supposed to operate in heavily contested areas, and aren't considered "combat ships".

You've got to multiply that with the probabilities in various somewhat complicated ways, but a simple approximation is to multiply the probability of death by a certain kind of cancer by the expected loss of dying of that cancer at the expected age to die from that cancer. Yes, it's subjective. No, that's not fixable, and in my opinion it's not a problem.

Latin accents could perhaps be represented as digraphs for such a tiny font.

I've run LLMs and some of the various image models on my M1 Studio 32GB without issue. Not as fast as my old 3080 card, but considering the Mac all in has about a 5th the power draw, it's a lot closer than I expected.

There's a thing somewhat conspicuous in its absence - why isn't llama.cpp more directly credited and thanked for providing the base technology powering this tool?

All the other cool "run local" software seems to have the appropriate level of credit. You can find llama.cpp references in the code, being set up in a kind of "as is" fashion such that it might be OK as far as MIT licensing goes, but it seems kind of petty to have no shout out or thank you anywhere in the repository or blog or ollama website.

Until you mentioned this, I thought it was about Arnold Schwarzenegger
I often think about that for 2 main reasons: most of the scenarios published in the media are the 'low end' of impacts because people involved are concerned about being considered doomerists, and a lot of the predictions and whatever preparations are done are based on extrapolation on known factors.

I'm in a coastal area and I'm really concerned that in 10-15 years time a combination of factors like a strong El Niño, a freak storm with a unlucky mix of wind and tide creating a mega surge and not foreseen changes in ice loss at the poles could make something happen that we'd thought would only be a risk towards end of the century.

LLMs don't necessarily need to think to be useful.
Having a simple minimal working example from an API you're trying to grok is helpful, as long as it's error-free and not redundant.

However, given the availability of LLMs, how would you justify the expense of hiring junior developers fresh out of school?

Check Microsoft.com or Google.com's career pages as an example (you will also see something similar going on within mid-sized companies), do you find any jobs for entry level applicants? Are those entry level jobs offered mostly in India or Eastern Europe?

So tell me, how is the ability to think helpful for an entry level applicant, when HR departments won't hire you because you lack “2+ years of non-internship C++ experience” for an entry-level position?

My point: being able to think is of course fine, but HR departments require you to do back and front flips, speak perfect reverse Mandarin Chinese and have 2+ years of non-internship experience in C++ on top of that.
Being able to think won't justify the expense of hiring a junior dev fresh out of school in a high-income country. (At least this is my impression of the current job market.)

PS: So, I just finished school last year, and I'm still on the hunt for a job. It seems like a lot of companies in wealthy countries are holding off on hiring newbies like me. I get why they're doing it (e.g., inflation, interest rates), but it's really frustrating when you're the one affected.

I mean, how are we supposed to get experience if no one's willing to give us a shot, right? It's a tough spot to be in.
Then the LLMs (even if they cannot think), they still bring value and accelerate development (with a potentially lower headcount). Seniors will be fine without us juniors given the prevalence of LLMs and high inflation environment (which makes companies risk-averse and very picky).
> this is going to have as big of an impact on humanity as the computer or the internet did

I see statements like this about AI too. How can something be bigger than the technology it is built on? The AVP is a computer. AI is a computer accessed through the internet... any computing device that accesses another computing device is further extending the "impact of computers and the internet." I don't get it. Maybe I'm too caught up on the semantics.
This is amazing, I love it!

I've always wanted to delve into things like this as a web developer. Would you mind sharing the tools you used to build this and experience you had? Or even better, the repo?!

Good stuff!

We quit repairing washers when we bought a 20yo Whirlpool. Same story for dryer except it's a 1988 Maytag.
Another small piece of feedback: Even though they're both "hung", the correct term for it is the "past tense" or "past simple". It'd be past participle if it was "I've hung it on the wall".

I understand the distinction between the past tense and the past participle is fading away in informal American English ("I got my hair did" anyone?), but it's still quite odd to see them confused in writing.
..or hjkl if we are at it. Asking for my friend (primeagen)
Many years ago, I did that when I had a large paper reviewing load during my phd. My solution was simply to purchase an app called SayIt for like a dollar that read the pdf to me, worked really well.

Nowadays I often pass the pdf through LLMs to get personalize (expand on jargon or contract the verbiage) and then read them. That gives me a better return on time spent.

There is something would make you want to have sex with another person.

i have never felt anything like that.

Given what you already said, this isn't a question an asexual person is likely to ask. They would already know the answer. :)

i wasn't actually asking a question but making a statement.

i think my understanding and my feelings about this are much closer to yours than i am comfortable describing in detail in a public post here. (but i am open to continue this conversation in private, as i am very interested in getting a better understanding about this question.)

I don't understand why sex is important.

i understand it about as well as i understand why people want to have a car. (i don't have a car, and i don't drive). more specifically, i see sex as just one of the many ways that one can show affection to someone else. the trouble is that it has been overloaded with taboos and expectations unlike most other forms of showing affection. and i agree it is overhyped.
I think they’d just make it with Pepsi and call it a “rum and coke” anyway. “Coke” is the generic word for all soda/pop, including Pepsi, in much of the US and world, and I think “rum and coke” also qualifies as a name in its own right.
(IANAL) Fraud can often be prosecuted as a civil crime, in which case there needs to be an aggrieved party with credible evidence of damages, no inhibitions about making a splash, and the time and money resources to sue.

I suspect educational institutions don't want to be seen as organizations that sue their own researchers. Same with paper publishers. And same for grant issuers.

Downstream researchers? Do they have the time, the money? ability to show direct damages whose recompense would be worth all the effort?

Students affected perhaps could, but only if the effect was very direct and they had the resources. And desire to be known as someone who sues their professor.

The damage is usually so diffuse. There is no one party with all the reasons to sue.

I have no idea what the process would be for criminal prosecution, but the diffuse impact may be an inhibitory factor there too.
By this logic, a computer is just a bunch of transistors. And transistors are just fancy electric circuits.

> By scaling the numbers first by taking the log, multiplication becomes addition and addition becomes x + log1p(exp(y - x)).

Addition/subtraction in a logarithmic number system is way more expensive than what you would spend on multiplication, especially if you care about correctly rounded results, as the (hardware) LUTs required are rather big.

Do they? Pepsi has been making a big push into "rich people places" (air ports, ski resorts, conference venues, that sort of thing) and the usual result is not that I ask for a Diet Coke and one appears, it's that I ask and one fails to appear, and continues to fail to appear at every place I visit on the entire trip/vacation and I simply must go without. Which is fine, it's just a flavor, but this is noticeable and repeatable and annoying and almost exactly the opposite of the situation where a bar has a strategic reserve of the good stuff.
Gitlab has great remote work guides. I took a Coursera course about remote work from them. Generally it was good, but one of the things that bothered me about their justification for remote work—which I notably do not see listed here—is that they argue it's great because you can pay people less when they work in different geographic areas. Yes, this is fairly common, but I still don't think it's ethical. I don't think it's even desirable in the long run, as it will filter out sought-after candidates who happen to live elsewhere, which should be one of the big advantages of being fully remote.

It's not surprising that that article thinks that people are getting twice their daily requirements, if it claims that men need 56g/day. Really? A 50kg man and a 120kg man have the same protein requirements?

Aside from that, there is plenty of evidence that the RDA is woefully insufficient, e.g.:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9963165/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26960445/

That second article says in its summary: "Current evidence indicates intakes in the range of at least 1.2 to 1.6 g/(kg·day) of high-quality protein is a more ideal target for achieving optimal health outcomes in adults". That's slightly lower than Examine's figure of 1.2 to 1.6, but whatever. Even assuming the lower figure of 1.2, 56g would be sufficient for a 46.7kg man. I don't know many of them.

That's just after a 30 second search. I can't find the study right now, but if you lock people in a metabolic ward and only give them the RDA of protein, they lose muscle mass. It's not even sufficient for maintenance.

I'm not a bodybuilder, and I'm not "cutting", I'm just losing some weight and want to make sure that what I lose is fat, not muscle. Again, maintaining muscle is about much more than bodybuilding, maintaining basic strength is essential to living a pain- and restriction-free life. I'm more systematic than most because I know that makes it more effective, but wanting to lose weight is not a niche use case. I'm also trying to get my parents to eat more protein because they're older and there's plenty of evidence that their needs are higher, and it's very difficult for them as vegetarians (partly because they resist lifestyle change, admittedly).
Even crazier:

“Could of”.

Like “You could of said so”.
