This makes me very excited! I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2 [1] and I have lost most of my physical capabilities save for 2-3 fingers and of course speech. Although I am now on Nusinersen [2] treatments I am still becoming weaker over time, albeit extremely slowly.

It brings me comfort to know that such a fallback will eventually exist, should I need one.

Note that specialists are saying that another promising drug from Scholar Rock [3] would probably prevent any further weakening if used in conjunction with my current treatment. Unfortunately, the FDA takes a long time to approve new medications and I have heard this one is particularly special because there is potential for abuse by athletes.

i don't actually use ints much in my c++ code. iterators for looping over things. using ints for accumulating is a problem in most languages.
I'm an idiot when it comes to chips, but the one thing I thought I knew was that ARM CPUs run considerably cooler and more efficient in terms of performance per watt, especially compared to Intel. Isn't that why they're in every mobile device?

How many papers do you want me to cite that were scuttled because of abi concerns? I've already named several.
For about signal bending at 41 (transport tires monitoring pressure). From my experience with ax-25 I was initially wonder, why transmission usually includes large delay on turning On and large delay on turning off (each about 300ms, some people recommend even 1500ms).

So, idea is, when transmitter turned on, it spend some time to become stable, for modern high-tech equipment this could be faster, I measured less then 50ms on modern Japanese desktop radios, but for older it could really be more than second.

For example, GSM solves this with brute force way - all GSM have high power load, CB guys usually call it "equivalent" and switch, and when GSM 2.0 make call, it turn transmitter on at begin of call and connect it to antenna only when need to transmit, all other time power spent on load, and transmitter turned off after call finished.

When GSM MT working with GPRS or 3G, things are more complicated, but it is usually "half-duplex" communication, most traffic received from network, upload usually limited, so MT could save power, turning on transmitter only when have large batch of data in buffers and turning it off when pause appear. But "equivalent" used anyway.

Returning to tires, their transmitters usually in very harsh environment, and batteries are not always give enough power (I think, batteries are weakest tech in this case), and yes, this could be reason, why transmitter frequency become unstable.

Other may possible reason, but probability is not high, if signal reflected from plane or if some interference happen.

What I mean on interference, I still sometimes see old radios, which don't have good enough filters, and they could retransmit distorted signals with their heterodyne circuit.
> Balance, in all things.

Maybe - but if so, also balance in being balanced. Sometimes "going hard" is needed to make a deadline. And sometimes when you're burned out, you need to do zero work for awhile.

I think the better advice is something like: "Be present with the actual moment. Listen to the world and then take the right next action thats actually needed.". Sometimes the next action is sharpening the saw. Sometimes its playing with your kids, or taking a nap, or finally chopping that tree. Its impossible to know whats needed without being actually present with whats going on right now.
This is analogous to arguing against exploring the Americas because Europe had poverty.

It seems to me that over a couple hundred year time horizon the new land, resources, technologies and economies of scale added by the new world were clearly a net benefit to europeans as a whole and paid back the initial investment many times over.
Yes, some actions have bad outcomes and some good.

2. If you're American, nobody actually expects you to speak anything but English. And probably not that very well. To sound better educated, Americans fumble pronouns ("Did you notice the dialog with exabrial and _I_?").

3. Articles have to exaggerate to get the correct amount of anxiety/rage-click to retain the advertisers.
I would define "homemade" as assembling the batteries without any sort of regulation or safety standards.

I'd be a bit frightened if I knew someone in my apartment building was assembling their own batteries -- poor quality ones can burn down the building.

It's an increasing problem here in San Francisco. I know at least one friend who had to move due to smoke damage caused by a neighbor collecting these batteries.

Shouldn't OpenAI be able to easily remove these non-complying GPTs by putting up their own GPT for moderation with a set of rules?

They should already have something in place. And if they have, and these GPTs are still up it can also mean these are OK as per their policy. Ot may be they are deliberately not moderating these because money.
I don't understand people who feel the need to mechanize artist endeavour.
But that is not the same setup. The setup here is: a body on the surface of a much larger body: is there pushing or pulling?

I suggest to GP to consider the body lifted and then released. The body is moving back towards the larger body. It meets a rigid boundary and comes to rest (or bounces ..) When did the ground start "pushing" the body? It seems the smaller body was being acted on by something (we say curved space) which is motivating it towards the center of the gravity of the larger body. This motivation (spatial deformation or force, whatever) doesn't cease and the rigidity of the larger body is engendering the equal opposing 'force' pushing back against it.

STS definitely encrypted all comms- voice, data, telemetry, and printer for the classified portions of all missions (that would be STS-51C, STS-51J, STS-27, STS-28, STS-33, STS-36, and STS-38 along with parts of STS-39 and STS-53).

My assumption is that the decryption happened upstream of the teleprinter- the teleprinter was definitely chosen because they thought it would be useful to print things for all missions, not because it provided special encryption for military purposes. When they did classified stuff everything was encrypted.

Basically, printers are really useful. They are heavy and they can break, but are tremendously useful.
If it can export to mp4 or a sequence of pngs what stops you from using ffmpeg to covert that to quicktime?
This is great news. Likely to make it easier to use these GPUs in Linux.
Primarily I've been using Zotero and Notability. They each have "save to" on mobile. Zotero has a chrome plugin that requires the desktop app to be running. They both optionally support a dark mode for reading in the dark.

I like the experience of reading in Muse.app on the iPad. It's a nested whiteboarding thing, but also can act as a PDF reader. (It'll let you pull out chunks of the PDF and put it on your canvas with a link back into your document, if that fits your flow.) I often read on my phone, so this is not an option for me.

Apple Notes and Muse slow down with a lot of ink. For taking a page full of notes I'm using Notability.

I've heard good things about GoodReader, but haven't played with it in years.
So what about a chaotic function like: (assume x is 64bit float)

x = 0.035876;
while true {
x = 3.5699456 * x * (1 - x);
if x == rand() break;
}
does it halt?

> The "logic" there (from reading discussions of the cutoff) is that, "well, if you're below the poverty line, you should be on Medicaid and not on the ACA exchanges at all, silly!" Okay, but if you have wildly varying income, and a high income from previous years, you don't know that you'll be "in poverty" this year, and won't qualify because of the past year.

This wasn't setup this way because it was thought to be a good design, but as a political compromise. At the time, it was seen as important to keep the headline cost of the bill below some arbitrary threshold and for it to be revenue neutral (the wisdom of this is questionable in hindsight since the moderate Dems that supported the bill mostly got wiped out anyway and it never got any Republican support). Medicaid is cheaper for the government than ACA subsidies (at least for low income people given the way the subsidies are structured), partly because the government has a lot of negotiating power and partly because Medicaid is stingy.

This was made worse when the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government couldn't make receiving existing Medicaid funding conditional on Medicaid expansion (Medicaid is partially funded by the federal government, but the program is administered by individual states) so whether the Medicaid expansion is even available to you largely depends on whether your state is run by Democrats or Republicans (with a few notable exceptions).

My program won't misidentify an very long loop as infinite, it'll just run the practically infinite loop in a finite amount of time and not trigger it.

Well, my program basically detects if a infinite loop is of 1 iteration or two iterations or three iterations or ... iterations, but only infinite loops and not finite loops and in a finite amount of time. This means that finite loops don't trigger my program ever, only infinite ones after a finite amount of time.

TLDR: A turing machine can run my program and determine whether any other program halts or infinite loops in a finite amount of time, never infinite only if the variable n can be infinitely large.

If you crawl into a bottle and kill yourself with alcohol, but very slowly, over the course of months/years, is that also not suicide?

I've never seen so many light/dark modes before. There's Device Mode, Light Mode, Dark Mode, and Night Mode. AFAICT Device Mode follows the browser/device's current setting, Dark Mode makes the sidebar dark but doesn't change the PDF, and Night Mode darkens both the sidebar and the PDF. I wonder how they decided to have so many modes?

You have a passion for programming, good to hear, that's a good foundation to build on.

Sounds like maybe you should seek jobs like Site Reliability Engineer or SysAdmin. Basically someone tasked with putting out fires, or ensuring they don't occur in the first place. And make sure the job is as part of a team, working with people in meatspace not remotely.

America's Rental-Market Mystery
About 5% of all deaths in Canada in 2023 were by assisted suicide.
One technique which reduces hallucinations, is to augment the LLM with a database of facts (such as the text of an encyclopaedia). You take the prompt, and you do a semantic search on the fact database (RAG, retrieval augmented generation) to find sentences/paragraphs/documents which relate to the prompt, and you add them to the prompt. Another related approach is function-calling, where instead of just doing a query based on the text of the prompt, you let the LLM analyse the prompt and come up with search terms, and then allow the LLM to do a search for the terms it has chosen. You can prompt and fine-tune the LLM to cite all its claims to the fact database.

Another approach that can help, is after you generate the response, you then submit the response to an LLM (even the same LLM), with a prompt to check it for errors (errors of reasoning, misrepresentation of citations, etc). Often, LLMs can do a decent job on catching their own errors, including hallucinations.

The more advanced an LLM is, the less likely it is to hallucinate, and the more likely it is to pick up on its own mistakes. Llama-7b hallucinates a lot more than GPT-4, and is far less likely to detect itself doing so.

You can't make an LLM foolproof, but you can't make humans foolproof either. Humans "hallucinate" too – e.g. students write essays with erroneous claims, cited to sources which never actually make those claims.
Some clarity for ppl.
- Other techniques would likely work for this patient. Eyegaze technology is pretty readily available. He has proximity switches for driving his chair and lets not forget voice control. So.. what does BCIe offer significantly? I think this is the BIG problem BCI has. The gains are not enough for a lot of people compared to what the AT sector can already offer. Please remember this. This guy could use eyegaze or voice control on pretty regular hardware. And no surgery needed..

- These types of BCI are effectively an array of switches. You typically map a motor thought eg. "Move your arm up" => Moving the cursor up. This maybe how then you control a game such as chess if it has keyboard shortcuts. Eye movement could be done in the same way but there are easier ways. Interestingly to measure these motor commands you dont really need intracortical BCI. You can do it with surface EEG. Sticking it inside your head - closer to centres where you can measure intentional thought makes the signal cleaner and more reliable

- The big breakthroughs is really making this intracortical stuff safer and long term. Its getting there. But this isnt it

The big wins out there - are in speech BCI. Thats hardcore. Even the two main studies doing this - each of the participants requires a LOT of training time to make a Machine model work efficiently.

They're not an asset but they're a hell of a lot more valuable than the IP. Ask anyone who runs a research org. The IP is nice but it deprecates rapidly. It's the fastest depreciating asset ever. The value is all the machine (network of talented people, culture) that builds the machine (IP).

"Do aircraft systems really only use GPS"

I know older long-range planes from the 70s and 80s had excellent inertial navigation systems.

Not quite as good as GPS, but good enough to know the location of the plane within a few nautical miles. The main problem is that inertial navigation systems drifted over time and required constant recalibration from the crew whenever they had a fix from real navigation beacons and errors could be catastrophic (especially when skirting the edge of Soviet airspace).

I've always wondered if modern avionics suites kept the older style inertial navigation systems as a backup to GPS, or if the systems were deleted when everyone switched to GPS.

I think it would be smart for larger planes to have a modern inertial navigation system that constantly recalibrated off GPS, ready to take over in the case of GPS jamming or spoofing.
C'mon, be serious. It isn't the only thing they're good at, but they are very good at generating spam.

I am saying there’s a middle-ground between “long, complex, nuanced” and “ivermectin doesn’t work”, which is useful because as you point out, most people can’t understand the former, but are able to understand abstracts of papers that suggest ivermectin does work, and wonder why they’re being told it doesn’t. Likewise telling people that entertaining the thought that a coronavirus escaped from a lab — in a city that has a lab that studies them — is ridiculous and racist simply opens a huge space for conspiracy peddlers who wonder out-loud and with reasonable justification why this is being dismissed without any nuance at all.

Dumbing a message down to contain no nuance — in my opinion — opens up the floor for quacks who will be exploit the lack of nuance on their podcasts.

I like your perspective on tackling the biggest problem. We can show a lot more of how users have been doing automation for firmware, docs, testing, etc ...

An underrated part of an autorouter is that you can enforce rules for DFM (and SI) automatically, so some of that tougher stuff is addressable with the right approach. Including a lot of compliance.

I'm sure that's part of it. It could help explain how one person has to live in a roach infested apartment while another can get a nice house in the suburbs. Same with having no car or only being able to afford a used one in poor condition vs having nice new cars with very low monthly payments. Those two things alone can mean a lot in terms of standard of living.

I know that they say it's expensive to be poor but it'd be a very broken system if we had a $60k a year social safety net for everyone, but poor people still couldn't afford fresh healthy food, reliable transportation, or adequate housing and were still fighting to keep their heads just above water.
Actually, Intel has been consistent with their specialized CPU DNN libraries and whatnot for years. MKL and the likes are pervasive in modern deep learning stacks. Pretty sure they've captured as much of the AI/ML business as CPUs possibly can.

Also, by gaming do you mean gaming consoles or gaming PCs? Because Intel is popular in gaming PCs also.
