It wasn't clear to me, unless I'm missing something, if arbitrand uses hardware external to the FPGA or not, if it does, what type of RNG does it use?

If it's purely FPGA based, is it ring oscillator based?
SCons is listed as a meta build system here, but it is clearly an end-to-end build system. It seems to me SCons even fits all the requirements listed by the author. Plus, you program your SCons build using Python.

He also describes the dynamic discovery of header dependencies of Ninja as a hack. It is true that it is a special case to handle a specific type of dynamic dependencies. But the basic idea behind it (using the compiler's diagnostic as the source of truth) is sane and efficient. The alternative is to scan the sources using a custom parser, which is slower and more fragile.
Saying a proprietary database works well with a proprietary operating system is not a feature in the age of IaC and the cloud.

I understand there are still loads of enterprises stuck in the windows zone, but ... It's not ideal.

As for query performance, I doubt it id that significant... Well, unless you are constrained by a proprietary db license and approved CPU count / machine size and need to squeeze more from less.

Because if you are on postgres and are bumping into hardware limits, a slightly better query planner is a very short term bandaid.

At that point, you are likely a year past the point where you should take your biggest queries and refactor/architect scale them to dynamo or Cassandra or something like that.

I mean, bragging about active directory integration in 2024. It should be a dumb LDAP / identity provider,not some chain bonding you to Microsoft software in perpetuity.
Reality is that we likely incentivize that behavior amongst scientists. If tenure comittee just cares about paper count, and the average 2-4 citation paper is never replicated. Then there is a viable strategy for publishing crap work faster than others can publish good work.

If you do this in a way that you can be forgiven for being wrong… then the risk is even lower.

We should be surprised that more leading scientists are not in fact frauds.
I prefer to call it my "farm team." Meaning they are still in training but will get promoted soon or wash out.
The latest approved Alzheimer’s drug, Lecanemab, shows a cognitive benefit. It’s modest, but there are already successors in the pipeline that have shown promise (e.g. donanemab). They’re baby steps, not at all cures, and have significant side effects, but “everything we try doesn’t work at all” isn’t really true the way it was even a few years ago.
I don't think software in general faces enough product liability standards.
Why target a regulated industry like nursing, I wonder? Wouldn't it be easier to use AI in, say, a drive through window at a fast-food joint? No liability could be a big upside, and the universe of conversations at the drive through would be much smaller.

IIRC, some of the more liberal states pay > $15/hr. to take fast-food orders, and this solution could be super valuable to a fast-food business with smaller margins than health-care.
Agreed, I wish more people thought like us! Hopefully as advertising fades, more people will start trying to differentiate on privacy.
Quite some time ago I signed up for twitter and then 10 minutes later they blocked my account and asked for a phone number. Said no and never signed up again.

Then just a few months later the first big leaks of information including phone numbers started coming out.

"Real" information like this is way to expensive for companies like this to have. Having your name get leaked is enough to get you blacklisted in many industries.

I believe it will not happen until we have a firm definition and understanding of what intelligence is.

Basic intuition and experience --- you can't build/create that which you do not understand.

That being said, I see no reason to believe it is possible to achieve AGI using digital binary silicon gate logic.

The only working examples we have of intelligence are analog and organic.
So happy this game keeps growing.
As far as I understand it the people trying to push insect protein as a meat substitute are US entrepreneurs, the same kind of people trying to sell fake meat burgers with beetroot heme and the like. I think you got your sights on the wrong target. The people who are trying to sell you trendy liberal causes to take your money and the people who are worried about the environment are completely different groups of people with entirely disjoint priorities.
If you have multiple machines with their own IPs, v4 or v6 makes no difference. If you have a single machine (vhosting), the number of IPs and their type makes no difference.
Don't think that's applicable in this case. This "FeatUp" technique does not feed its output back into the model in any way.

Rather, it's just producing a higher resolution output by taking multiple passes of the input image (subtly shifting the input image before each pass) producing a slightly different low-resolution feature map.

Each of these low-resolution feature maps represent contributions from differing areas of the input image. "FeatUp" can then create a higher-resolution feature map, "simply" by taking the color from the pass with the most appropriate input shift.

A very rough sketch:

Input Image: abcdefgh

Create multiple low resolution feature maps using your model,
shifting the input image, a few pixels each pass:

Pass 1: abcdefgh --> ACEG
Pass 2: bcdefgh --> BDFH

Now take all the low resolution feature passes
and combine into a single higher resolution version:

FeatUp: ACEG,BDFH --> ABCDEFGH

>Hawkes admitted at an earlier hearing that he sent a photograph or film of genitals with intent to cause alarm, distress or humiliation.

Does this extend to sending any image with intent to cause alarm, distress, or humiliation? Or does it stop with images of genitals?
Yes! Well. Once I knew what the issue was, I ran FEA thermal simulations and was able to move the heat away from the FPGA efficiently while keeping weight down. It was beefy in the sense that it moved heat well while remaining as light as possible.

There were already "user-mode" implementations of asynchronicity on the JVM for years (like Monix, cats-effect, Pekko (fka Akka), etc).

Loom has a worse API, is hidden from the user (what's preemptible and what will cause OS thread starvation? who knows!), and effectively ends up infecting the whole JVM with its complexity.

Go shares most of those downsides, but as a greenfield project (..heh) there's at least the expectation that all libraries play nice with their scheduler. They also try to hide FFI starvation by effectively running each FFI call in a dedicated OS thread[0].

There's also gevent/greenlet, which tries to bolt "colourless" M:N scheduling onto Python. It hasn't exactly taken the Python world by storm either, despite being far older than their native asyncio support.

Overall, I'd consider all three implementations of the approach to be dead on arrival.

I wonder if this is "the disconnection of article and headline" sort of thing. I've read some article authors have no control over the headlines associated with their writings, either added by someone else, or generated or a/b tested or whatever.

But perhaps he doesn't want to make THAT much impact. Some decent impact would be fine, of course. It seems a lot of responsibility to have impact on millions of people, might lead you down the road of drugs and alcohol, killing your health to be able to handle it.

If I have a business that impacts millions of people, then every hour I spend on it, would have huge influence, and if I don't spend the hours on increasing that percentage, I'm also letting down millions of people.

It seems Mead and Freeman experienced a slice of life from different parts of Samoa, which was summed up for me in this part of the wikipedia article:

"Samoan culture had been changed by the integration of Christianity in the decades between Mead's and Freeman's fieldwork periods" ... "Leacock pointed out that Mead's famous Samoan fieldwork was undertaken on an outer island that had not been colonialized. While Freeman had undertaken fieldwork in an urban slum plagued by drug abuse, structural unemployment, and gang violence." [1]

Note that doesn't necessarily mean that Freeman's island perfectly resembled Mead's island prior to its urbanization – I'd wager, rather, that Samoan society was diverse!

Why not target a fast-food application, where taking orders would have no liability implications? The $9/hr would be far less than the $15/hr some of the more liberal states have set as minimum wage.
Every single object in smalltalk is free to have its own implementation of handling a message. In javascript, the runtime decides for the object how to locate the code and how to call it.
> Do you believe that AGI is possible?

Yes. A bunch of atoms orbiting around a star ended up in a configuration that can think. Our star dust human brains. The fact we exist proves atoms can be configured to have GI (no need to call it artificial).

I don't believe in souls created by divine intervention. So I believe the essence of life or intelligence is something that can be created by us. The same way gravitational and chemical forces led to the human brain.

What is possible has barely been explored at all.
What you wrote makes sense, but I’m not sure I understand what an RNN has to fo with it. For example, what does it mean: “RNN that works post tokenization/embedding and at the output of individual transformer heads.”?
I highly recommend reading "Blood, Sweat, and Pixels: The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games Are Made". It does a deep dive into the development histories of a bunch of different games. Some of them turned out to be wildly successful. Some not so much. Stardew Valley is one of the games it covers, going through all the ups and downs in its single-handed five year (!) development cycle.

> But I don't get you. You complained that droid makes it hard and apple makes it impossible.

I didn't complain about anything, I just stated the facts, with a possible exception regarding the snark about how Apple "owns" the device, although I do think that's a defensible position since they have higher access to it than it's "owner". I do think it's shitty though that they don't provide a way (even with some hoops) for the "owner" of the device to get the highest level of access to it, but that wasn't in the comment.

> But it would be better for average user security if they could not do it (aka "did not own the device" in anti-apple propaganda), right?

Why would that be better? I highly doubt it would make any difference at all to the average user. I doubt it even impacts the majority of power users.

The people who are impacted by these restrictions are the technical users who want to capture and inspect their own device's traffic, usually on their own network. Conveniently, these are also the researchers who might publish blog posts and articles about what kind of data and surveillance the device is sending home about the user, without their knowledge.
> large Technic sets often have expensive electronic and pneumatic parts that must be considered.

On the other hand, Technic sets contain large numbers of pins, which are basically worthless.
I can only answer from theory, but the geometric dillution of precision decreases with N, the number of independent measurements of satellite signals.

In practice, there's a floor to the noise which is a reasonable lower bound on your uncertainty.

There's also factors that can't really be overcome from more sats, like multipath effects.
Sure, you can avoid it. But I bet if it was turing complete you would not suffer for it either.

And the answer to 'how to build this' should be answerable by "run build_system". Any further details represents a failure of the build system (what you describe of having multiple build systems for each platform/IDE is especially hellish). Even a relatively small amount of code is likely to have details the matter beyond just 'compile and link'. Especially in embedded, where even if the codebase is all the code that's running on the system (no external libraries), it's far from trivial to actually get a working binary just by invoking the compiler.
I wear it about 30 min at a time, 2 min breaks in between, 2-3 hours total daily.

Economic policy isn't math though, is about what a rational decision maker would do. We can model some parts of that using mathematics, but large parts are hooked up to the local legal framework. Take US student loans for example - the market doesn't make any sense unless you are aware of the special rules around bankruptcy. In fact, the entire US lending market doesn't make sense unless you know about bankruptcy and bankruptcy law is by no means a safe basic assumption.

This is already happening and it doesn’t require advanced AI and expensive Nvidia chips.
Would be interesting to see a similar headline like: "Judge demands FBI prove they didn't help radicalize mass shooter", which is definitely fairly common if measured as a % of terrorist convictions.

More to the point of the article: I don't understand all these attacks on Section 230. Is there a single reasonable proposal for what kind of framework should replace Section 230?
Pistons are theoretically safer to work on, because you can depressurize them without physically manipulating them.

Okay, first off, that TOS is about ICANN's websites, in the update called their "platform". It has nothing to do with domains and ICANN is not the registry. I'm not even sure who the "they" you're talking about is. Were you trying to say that somehow changed something relevant to Gandi as opposed to every other registrar?

It was absolutely true for Gandi, just like for everyone else. Domains have always been cancellable for various reasons.

Yes, many registrars are now acting as registries or have in the past (or been part of other companies who were involved in the operation). That changes nothing of what I said.

Even those big guys with their own registrar, are still subject to the whims of the registries (for other TLDs).
One person’s “politics” is another person’s “demonstrate basic empathy and understand that your point of view is not universal.”

$300B Crypto Price Crash Accelerates as Traders Brace for a Fed Shock
Thank you. This article is much more clear overall. So much so that I'd suggest it replace the URL on this submission.

Although even this article dances around things awkwardly as well:

> The machine that was hacked uses a system called Unitronics, which has Israeli-owned components

Unitronics is headquartered in Israel. Anything with its branding is de-facto Israeli-owned. "containing some Israeli-owned components" is a very strange and complex way of communicating that, and much harder to write than the default:

> The machine that was hacked was a system made by Unitronics, an Israeli company.

Back to the meat of the article:

> The PLCs are generally supposed to be cut off from the public internet to prevent hackers from getting in. But Ron Fabela, an industrial cybersecurity expert, told CNN on Tuesday that he has found numerous cases — at critical infrastructure facilities in multiple states — of the exact same make and model of equipment that was compromised at the Aliquippa water authority that were sitting on the public internet. That can make gaining access to sensitive industrial facilities relatively easy for hackers.

This is exactly it. The 40,000 water treatment districts around the USA can't do this themselves, not reliably. Ideally we'd have a defensive arm of the NSA automatically scanning the internet for domestic targets like this and helping utilities make sure their control systems are not publicly-facing.

I can say that there are special water treatment districts like the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District in Vail, CO which receive special attention, grants, and partnership from NSA/CISA due to their unique geography (where due to dams, cybersecurity events could affect much larger populations than usual).

But I think NSA might be a bit too offensively-focused. It seems easy enough to scan domestic utilities for automation equipment that's improperly exposed to the internet. Pretty low-hanging fruit for an agency dedicated to "National Security"
You can definitely use the actual compiler with a more general build system with dynamic dependencies.
So there definitely IS algorimithic removers and such.

The difference is that posts don't even make it past the gate if they get blocked.

And certain content is also ban-worthy.

Again, they very much do censor stuff. You just don't see the censoring.
Maybe there could be a mechanism that lets you decouple the spring from the door and instead connect it to a worm drive, which would then be used to take tension off the spring using a power drill, all while it's completely contained in a steel housing.
I think there's an interesting line to consider around 'engagement algorithms' being responsible for accelerating radicalization (i.e. seeing certain content and then push notifications of same/similar content get delivered.)

The 3rd rail of course, is that to fix that you would likely either enter a 'culture war' with each side challenging the others, or you just have to go back to a non-engagement tuned way to deliver updates [0].

And, you know, it's worth some sort of discussion, because I've seen that one mis-click of a youtube video on my phone (trash screen protector) or inebriated TikTok scroll session where it takes me too long to realize it was one form or another of content I didn't really care for before switching on, and then it can take up to a month before the pop ups suggesting similar content stop.

But, if the algorithm is 'fair' internally, I would guess the content provider will argue that it is such and, well, sucks this person didn't click a 'save the whales' link instead?

To be clear, this is why it is worth a conversation, but it is a difficult one for society for a number of reasons. However I do miss the charm of the 'old web' where we relied on word of mouth. I think MySpace really was a certain peak of Minimalistic non algo Social media; you picked your sort for who to pay attention to, you could put your links or whatever, toss a song for a mood, and it was simple.

On the flip side, something like 4chan is not something, last I checked, that did engagement or anything past 'comment = bump' (-does- sage even work on it? did it ever?). AFAIK the argument would have to rest to some extent on proving that the mods failed to 'properly' follow 230... extreme example where they could be in trouble in my mind would be 'a post was reported for a legitimate violent threat and instead of removing/locking mods pinned it'.

[0] - you know, when they were nice 'rollups' of what happened more like your mail vs the modern 'spam' of each thing, to get you back in the app and ideally tap each one to view so somebody meets an OKR.

Can second this. I found it's simply the most straightforward, reliable, low-maintenance way to run Postgres on a mac.

The only small hiccup I've encountered is that sometimes you get this error on starting up the Postgres server: "Failed to prune sessions". This error is fixed by running a command like below and then restarting:

rm /Users/<user>/Library/Application\ Support/Postgres/var-14/postmaster.pi
I don't think it's necessarily about talent, it's about effort.

As an example, in early versions of Stardew Valley, if you named your horse with the same name as one of the townspeople, you would be riding around your farm on top of the townsperson's sprite. As in, in the game code, the display name of the object was used to identify which sprite to render.

That's not really the type of mistake I'd expect a "talented" (or at least, an "experienced") software developer to make, but ConcernedApe managed to put together an amazing game in spite of any inexperience or difficulty with the programming side.

It's like they say - 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration. Or similarly, "skill is the sum of aptitude and experience".
That's a good idea too. For my smaller-scale personal projects I rely on the git status, but if you use some other version control system then you don't always get early warning of this sort of thing. (My work stuff typically uses Perforce, and it's annoyingly blasé about this stuff.)
This feels great to use!
