You may be understating this quite considerably.

I remember reading Future Shock when I was quite young and the parts about people changing jobs quite often and living closer to nomads stuck with me, even though I have to say I've forgotten most of the book.

Simply put anything modern is likely to change its purpose many times in the lifetime of the building. A company might have its headquarters in one place for 100 years, but probably not. It may move to a bigger building, be bought and dissolved, or go out of business before the usefulness of the building itself. Having a generic asset is worth more in cases like this.

Same with housing and the 'millennial grey' people point out these days. Most people expect to move many, many times within their lives. I've moved 10 times myself, and I know people that have moved far more than that. A house is rarely looked at like a forever place, and few families seem to keep their houses in the family for multiple generations. Add to this that family size in the US is rapidly shrinking there are a lot of people who know their assets won't be passed on, but sold instead.
It's probably the nostalgia talking, but I miss OCR-A.
...because it understands what a dog name is. Why wouldn't you see Gary or Florence in that list? How does it know those aren't dog names?

You can't be suggesting it has memorized relationships between all concepts, the model would be enormous.

So clearly, there is something else going on. It's able to encode concepts/ideas.
Yeah, I mean you have to do the work. It doesn't seem like they refuse to work with FLOSS on principle, just that it's difficult to them.
This article is interesting, but also extremely meandering. Here are the two paragraphs that address the title of the article.

> As language-bound human beings, struggling to understand life’s complexities, we still require the semantic construct of agreed-upon labels. A team of biologists, Francine Pleijel and George Rouse, have proposed the LITU, or “least-inclusive taxonomic unit,” to replace the concept of species entirely. These would be provisional identities, which they describe as “statements about the current state of knowledge (or lack thereof )”—snapshots rather than static points, documented under the assumption that they might change as more genetic information becomes available.

> This would move us away from lectotypes, allotypes, and other type specimens, a shift Pleijel and Rouse strongly advocate. According to them, “making taxonomists decide that a few dead specimens represent a species is an extravagant extrapolation that has no place in science.” Scientists are “forced by the existing codes of nomenclature to describe organisms as species when in fact they generally have no idea of what is going on in nature.”
I approach LLMs with the perspective that “maybe this demonstrates that we humans are all just stochastic parrots?”and we should have the null hypothesis that humans are just pattern matchers.

You are correct I somehow got it mixed up with the Pattern one above in the docs, which uses the word "all".

Another consideration is the release of new features.

You use ARM templates, that support comes with a feature GA. Terraform has to wait for the updated GO SDK, and then you have to wait for them to build it into Terraform.

Bicep in theory carries a similar risk, but I have not heard any complaints so far. Maybe product teams release ARM and Bicep functionality at tbe same time?
Why would you automate the fun?
It's a fully software-based VHS decoder. It takes the raw signal from a VHS tape, captured with a high speed sampling device, and reconstructs the video on your computer. In theory, this approach should allow higher quality digitization than any physical VHS player - it cuts the analog decoding electronics out of the loop, and it allows you to capture once, then tweak the algorithm and decode many times without disturbing the tape. You could even preserve the raw captures in case better decoding algorithms come out in the future.
The model is enormous, and N-dimensional for very high N. But the model remains insufficiently enormous for understanding, and moreover, the model cannot observe itself and adjust.

Ask an LLM to extrapolate, see any semblance of reason collapse.
It doesn't matter what tools and facilities they used, they still designed and produced a web page. They are the ones who chose to use squarespace, and use that template, and be ok with the end result.

It's not like a pizza shop or a hairdresser who never claimed that their very reason for existing and mission and product was accessibility.

This is a completely topical and fair challenge.
Think I was able to reproduce it. I configured my router to drop established connections for IP 169.150.221.147 in my policy attached to my wan interface for outgoing traffic (important detail, inbound would drop the syn/ack instead). For reference its an Ubiquiti Edgerouter that uses iptables to filter traffic.

In the linked picture [0] I have packet #436 selected, its a retransmission of the handshake syn/ack with seq=0 ack=1, repeating a few times later, same as OP.

So as others suggested, likely a misconfigured BOGON rule with 169.0.0.0/8, but also matching outbound established connections rather than new/any state for some reason.

This font looks radically different on my two monitors, being significantly worse on my 'standard' DPI monitor compared to my other high DPI monitor.

On my main, 1x monitor, the lowercase i has an anti-aliased "half pixel" at the bottom that extends past the baseline. A few other characters have this, but it's especially noticable on the lowcase i.
I think you're making it much more complicated than it is.

The fact is, nobody expected that speaking natural language, let alone reasoning capabilities, would emerge at the scale of GPT-3.

Even the people that suspected that scaling would improve GPT-2 (i.e. OpenAI), were surprised by the results.

Clearly this is "strong convergence" according to your definition, behavior that cannot be derived or extrapolated from individual constituents (or smaller scale).
Similar happened to me not so long ago. One day a junior admin asked me to diagnose who ssh to a box started hanging. After a bit of diagnosis it became evident TCP's 3 way handshake got through, and then it all stopped. No normal network behaves like this.

My answer was "some network admin is having fun with a middleware box", you will have to speak with them. They did, and the response that came back is "we are moving to a network with real security". Access was restored. It was a Palo Alto NGFW as others have mentioned.

HaHa, funny title. Leave it to El Reg...

Current centralization of computation is really reminiscent of how the electric utilities massively centralized power generation, making then well entrenched in the current fight against distributed generation.

Until Amazon and Goggle start installing modern geothermal or other non-petroleum, non-nuclear power generation, I'm against it...
To be fair, the Pinetime is $27. Apple couldn’t make an Apple Watch for $27 retail either. Nicer screens and CPUs are readily available on aliexpress so I suspect Pine64 would be capable of making a nicer smart watch, and I have no information as to why they chose the low cost route.
Out of curiosity, I found a study, "A biomolecular anthropological investigation of William Adams, the first SAMURAI from England", which dug up his bones and estimated he was 170 cm (about 5'7").
This is super cool. Any chance you'd make a Docker container for it to simplify usage for people who are scared of node?
Do you even know what you are talking about? You can’t even buy crypto without verifying your id first it is not used for tax evasion at all. People don’t pay taxes on their crypto holdings because it is still a grey area. Every transaction is also traceable which makes it extremely uninteresting for criminals. You can not convert your crypto into cash without the government knowing. Cash is literally the best option for tax evasion and for criminals, crypto has nothing to do with criminals. Should we ban cash too?
I have a very vague understanding of all of these DDR bitflip attacks, but I found the original Hammertime paper and it's actually very easy to read. I haven't gone through all of it but it breaks things down to be better understood very well.

I've heard bitflipping a million times and never really got it (not that I made serious effort) until this.

https://comsec.ethz.ch/wp-content/files/hammertime_raid18.pd...

I feel like I just went through a 101 EE course. I had NO idea any of this was related to the actual hardware manufacturing imperfections, etc.

That explains the name Rowhammer. I've probably been under a rock and everyones knows this stuff.

> Due to the extreme density of modern DRAM arrays, small manufacturing imperfections can cause weak electrical coupling between neighboring cells. This,
combined with the minuscule capacitance of such cells, means that every time a
DRAM row is read from a bank, the memory cells in adjacent rows leak a small
amount of charge. If this happens frequently enough between two refresh cycles,
the affected cells can leak enough charge that their stored bit value will “flip”,
a phenomenon known as “disturbance error” or more recently as Rowhammer.

"Is code autocompletion and generating random images really worth so much electricity?"

Yes. Very much so.

Some back of enveloping. The worldwide labor market is USD$70trillion. If you save 1% of the time of the worldwide labor market (that's quite reasonable for autocomplete etc right?) that's USD$700billion. A quick Google says the global electricity revenues are USD$255billion.

So if you have a way to save %1 of human labor it's economically worth tripling power generation to make use of it.
In the part where the claim is made that individual characters matter there's a footnote link that ultimately goes to this PDF thesis[1].

That thesis has a claim itself:

> Creating a well designed, legible typeface is therefore not about creating dissimilar characters; the aim must be to find, amongst other things,
an optimal balance between uniformity and differentiation and,
through that, to attain legibility

At the end of the related chapter, where the author surveys some studies about letter and word recognition. It seems like the distinctions made in this font may be informed by that kind of perspective - not that increased differentiation of characters is good on its own.

This is just at a glance but it seems there is at least a thread there to follow about evidence and reasoning.

Why did they need a WYSIWYG editor to lay out static content in an entirely standard format? That could be done in Markdown, or plain html. These have the advantage of being trivial to handle with accessibility layers.
Here's a paper specifically about LITUs: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1690571/

Abstract: "Phylogenetic taxonomy has been introduced as a replacement for the Linnaean system. It differs from traditional nomenclature in defining taxon names with reference to phylogenetic trees and in not employing ranks for supraspecific taxa. However, 'species' are currently kept distinct. Within a system of phylogenetic taxonomy we believe that taxon names should refer to monophyletic groups only and that species should not be recognized as taxa. To distinguish the smallest identified taxa, we here introduce the least-inclusive taxonomic unit (LITU), which are differentiated from more inclusive taxa by initial lower-case letters. LITUs imply nothing absolute about inclusiveness, only that subdivisions are not presently recognized."
I've had a look to the other answers parallel to mine, and it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks the affirmation I've reacted to has no ground in any scientific study.

I've also seen some of your other contributions, and, hum, for someone who concludes "we need both nuclear and renewables", you seem strangely only interested to criticize renewables while not accepting any of the problems of the nuclear side (I'm not talking about nuclear incident, but just things like "not a single cell has been produced fully with renewable energy": not only it's totally absurd, but this argument would apply identically to nuclear, and yet you thought of it as something against renewables while it does not bother you when it's about nuclear)
Here's a real world example of supply being diminished by demand for housing as a non-primary residence.

A family member I spoke with a couple of weeks ago is planning to purchase an apartment in the city to make it easier to visit their grandchildren. They won't be selling their primary residence to do this (but will be using equity from that residence). They will also subsidise the purchase via AirBnB.

This is an example of a home being removed from the stock of housing available to be used as a primary residence. I don't believe that this situation is all that unique - though thirty years ago this would have been as people in their circumstance would not have been able to do this (due to low capital appreciation and lack of a large short term rental market).
FOSS, import/export.
To AI? Or that you are not a NPC?
They would have been right, just as the person you're replying to will be. There was not the compute equivalent of ENIAC in every person's office by 1950. The real estate requirements would have been enormous.

Did every office wind up with more compute than an ENIAC? Yes. Did it take as much real estate as ENIACs would have? Of course not.

Did it happen in five years? Absolutely not.

Our AI models will get better and more efficient. Our compute will get more efficient. But how much has FLOPs per watt improved in the last five years? Not much. How much more power efficient have models gotten? Not much, we haven't been optimizing for that, since quality isn't even there yet for many tasks; we've instead been making models larger and require even more compute. It's not hard to extrapolate these trends and see that if you were to replace a billion jobs in five years, enormous amounts of power will be required.
Shouldn't that be factored into the price of electricity? I think the market economy ideal is that if houses can't afford enough electricity for heating, then they need to be insulated and/or install heat pumps, etc.

> However, we are still at a stage of divergent opinions without any definitive conclusion.

Okay, I know picking people's sentences apart has fallen out of fashion, but:

"Divergent opinions" are ... opinions.
A "definitive conclusion" is ... a conclusion.

I see more examples, but I wanted to make a point: I miss the days when fewer words conveyed more meaning. From the classic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style: "Make every word count."

About brevity of expression, I must add this (possibly apocryphal) story about Ernest Hemingway. In the 1920s Hemingway and his Paris friends had a contest: who could write the shortest readable short story? Hemingway won with this entry:

For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.
I thought the same as you, but the situation's less dire thankfully. Wrote a post about it a while back that was top of HN: https://sunshowers.io/posts/am5-ryzen-7000-ecc-ram/
Ah, a true capitalist mind. The only consideration is the almighty dollar!

Perhaps it would be better for it to be efficient because it uses less energy and in general is a good thing to do for the world. I understand there aren't financial incentives around that so it's probably difficult for you to agree with.

Edit: It seems simply suggesting we do better is enough for people to lose their minds.

Extrapolate what?
"[D]o everything possible in our laws to encourage the construction of private dwellings and even two- family dwellings, because the two-family house is the next least objectionable type, and penalize so far as we can in our statute, the multiple dwelling of any kind... If we require multiple dwellings to be fireproof, and thus increase the cost of construction; if we require stairs to be fireproofed, even where there are only three families; if we require fire escapes and a host of other things, all dealing with fire protection, we are on safe grounds, because that can be justified as a legitimate exercise of the police power... In our laws let most of the fire provisions relate solely to multiple dwellings, and allow our private houses and two-family houses to be built with no fire protection whatever (NHA Proceedings 1913, 212)."

Another notable quote is Euclid v. Ambler, where SCOTUS legalized the US zoning system and in their opinion said it was good to ban apartment buildings because they were "parasites".

Of course, this is partly about not liking poor people as well as minorities, but if you leave it in place this long it eventually becomes a ban on your own children living in the same state as you.

These things were introduced at the same time as racial convenants (where a developer would construct a neighborhood and require its houses to only ever be sold to white people), and mostly for the same reason; they merely weren't repealed when that one was. For the racial details, see the book "The Color of Law".

Below German cost of manufacturing for sure. I remember laughing at der8auer explaining how he must sell a bend piece of CNCed aluminum at ~20 euro because thats how much it costs to make in DE, while same piece of metal can be ordered from JLC for couple dollars including shipping manufactured in single quantities.
How much energy do 1 billion people consume? I don’t think this is the criteria we should use.
Germany is the black hole of supermarket prices. Even shit made in Austria is cheaper once you cross the border to Germany than in the country where it's made. It's insane.
That is not very harmful because an apartment is a small box in the sky, and not filling it doesn't use up the land it's on top of, since there's other units in the building. Similarly, you can make up for it by adding more small boxes in the sky.

Also, they may plan to do this, but investments involve risk and they may go out of business (sell the apartment) if it doesn't actually go like they expect it to.
> Then either you create vacancies

The people voted that the role should be vacant. They haven't authorized anyone to represent them yet. Leave it empty.

When people suggest these "better methods" those always seem to prefer their preferred candidate.

Can't say that about mine. All it does is raise the bar to the point where you have to provide somebody who is better than nobody.
A lot of places with hardware authentication will provide a recovery key you can store somewhere you can access (e.g. as an encrypted file on an cloud storage service with no 2FA/geolockouts). Obviously the passwords for the file and the service are memorized. If all your possessions are stolen you could say use a borrowed computer to access that file and bootstrap yourself.

For services with TOTP you can store the secret in that encrypted file, so you can reload it back into your authenticator app. Or you could just use a Keepass file or similar which would store all the passwords and keys in a single encrypted binary.
Isn't spark already providing a bundled and somewhat functional version of all of this ?

Yes, like many plants and fungi, jellyfish exhibit “alternation of generations” with both an asexual and a sexual reproduction stage. Since the forms are usually far different in size, one biologist remarked it’s as if a woman gives birth to a mouse and then a mouse to a woman.

Towards the end of the page:

Followed by a good example of "debatable":

> The lower income from the health insurance practice was compensated by most physicians by higher rates for private patients.

This is the way I perceive my thoughts. I don't know what I'm going to think of beforehand or in advance, these could all be stochastic "tokens" based on what I've observed in my life.

So of course I feel a bit offended when people claim LLMs are just stochastic parrots, because it doesn't feel to me, that I'm specifically any better?

My thoughts - they just happen, and sometimes not in my favor - I have had times of depression, I didn't have control over my thoughts. Neither do I have now, but at least I am in a better place.
