Is it even possible to have a video transcript whose copyright has expired in the USA? I suppose maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jazz_Singer might be one such work... but most talkies are post 1929. I suppose transcripts of NASA videos would be one category — those are explicitly public domain by law. But it's generally very difficult to create a work that does not have a copyright.

You can say that you have fair use to the work, or a license to use the work, or that the work is itself a "collection of facts" or "recipe" or "algorithm" without a creative component and thus copyright does not apply.
no, it's a lie about our common definition of murder. I also don't murder a head of lettuce when I kill it.

One of the things MRI do to create images is to pulse magnetic fields during imaging. These pulses are far weaker than the main field but will cause vibration of metals due to Lenz's and Faraday's laws. As the magnetic field changes it induces current in the ring, current in the ring interacts with the magnetic field to produce a (small) force on the ring. If you were getting a head/brain scan in a typical MRI your hand will lie near the locations within the scanner that see the largest swings in magnetic field. Beyond the vibration, rings are generally too small to be a heating issue even at 3T.

Best practice for at least a decade is to always remove all rings and all jewelry and failure to detect rings or other jewelry is generally seen to indicate a problem in screening. That is... if a radiologist sees evidence of a ring on the images there better be an explanation. The reality is that particularly older people have not removed their rings in decades and their joint disease may have expanded so much that it simply cannot be removed and the risk/benefit doesn't justify damaging the ring nor denying them the benefits of a scan. But if the patient can't take the ring off, the magnet wont either.

Just for reference, people get head scans with braces pretty regularly and it's not considered a safety issue. Braces and rings can affect image quality though so that's usually the concern. So if the ring is near the body part being imaged you'd probably be asked to remove it because they'll easily cause undesired issues (in, say, roughly a 3-6inch radius) that can result in images that radiologists deem unusable for making a diagnosis.
None of the evals are binary choice.

MMLU questions have four options, so two coin flips would have a 25% baseline. HumanEval evaluates code with a test, so a 100 byte program implemented with coin flips would have a O(2^-800) baseline (maybe not that bad since there are infinitely many programs that produce the same output). GSM-8K has numerical answers, so an average 3 digit answer implemented with coin flips would have a O(2^-9) chance of being correct randomly.

Moreover, using the same axis and scale across unrelated evals makes no sense. 0-100 is the only scale that's meaningful because 0 and 100 being the min/max is the only shared property across all evals. The reason for choosing 30 is that it's the minimum across all (model, eval) pairs, which is a completely arbitrary choice. A good rule of thumb to test this is to ask if the graph would still be relevant 5 years later.
One possibility is to encrypt a copy with a key that you are pretty sure you can remember, and store that encrypted copy someplace public on the web. Periodically check that you do still remember the key.

The conventional way to do this would be encrypt it with a symmetric cipher keyed from a password or passphrase. I've been using an unconventional approach where the secret you have to memorize is an algorithm rather than a password/phrase. Programmers might find an algorithm easier to memorize than a passphrase.

Here's an example of this general idea. The algorithm is going to be a hash. This one will take a count and a string, and output a hex string. In English the algorithm is:

hash the input string using sha512 giving a hex string
while count > 0
prepend the count and a "." to current hash and apply sha512

The recovery code I want to backup is 3FAEAB4D-BA00-4735-8010-ADF45B33B736.

I'd pick a count (say 1969) and a string (say "one giant leap for mankind"), actually implement that algorithm, run it on that input and string. That would give me a 512 bit number. I'd take "3FAEAB4D-BA00-4735-8010-ADF45B33B736" and turn it into a number too (by
treating at as 36 base 256 digits). I'd xor those two numbers, print the result in hex, and split it into 2 smaller strings so it wouldn't be annoyingly wide.

Then I'd save the input count, input string, and the output:

1969 one giant leap for mankind
ed428dffa23f4f14ae2a7b7e842019fc11b5726d726b96c11ec266758be67cb0
f2a78a320a85df809afe83c6c7840e2d175cceadb455260735405cd047459cc9

I'd then delete my code.

I could then do a variety of things with the "1969 one giant leap for mankind" and the two hex strings. Put then in my HN description. Include then in a Reddit comment. Put them on Pastebin. Take a screenshot of them and put it on Imgur.

To recover the code from one of those backups, the procedure is to implement the algorithm from above, run it with the count and string from the backup to get the 512 bit hash, take the 512 bits of hex from the backup, xor them, and then treat the bytes of the result as ASCII.

Then delete the implementation of the algorithm. With this approach the algorithm is the secret, so should never exist outside your head except when you are actually making or restoring from backup.

When picking the algorithm take into account the circumstances you might be in when you need to use it for recovery. Since you'd probably only be needing this if something so bad happened that you most of your devices and things like your fireproof safe, you might want to pick an algorithm that does not require a fancy computer setup or software that would not be in a basic operating system installation.

The algorithm from this example just needs a basic Unix-like system that you have shell access to:

#!/bin/sh
COUNT=$1;
shift;
KEY=`/bin/echo -n $* | shasum -a 512 | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
while [ $COUNT -ge 1 ]; do
KEY=`/bin/echo -n $COUNT.$KEY | shasum -a 512 | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
COUNT=`expr $COUNT - 1`
done
echo $KEY
No, it's not supposed to be clever. Just something I use whenever I mention them.

Most people don’t absorb concepts immediately with only a simple explanation.

Unless you are reading a topic you are already familiar with, reinforcement of an idea helps you to examine a concept from different angles and to solidify what is being discussed.

If everyone fully absorbed and understood everything they read, schooling could be completed years in advance.

I remember the days when EVERY application in Windows had "File" in the upper left hand corner. You could make a good bet that "Edit" was next and "Preferences" was somewhere in there as well.

Being "good with computers" back then had a lot to do with knowing the standard layout of applications to help guide you through where things ought to be or, at least, could plausibly be found.

I applaud Apple for keeping this going in this modern world we live in of SAAS websites that each do their own thing.
It does not feel obviously unreasonable/unfair/fake to place the select models in the margins for a relative comparison. In fact, this might be the most concise way to display what I would consider the most interesting information in this context.

I'm enthralled with using pen plotters to make generative art. Last August at SIGGRAPH, I built an interactive experience for others to see how code can be used to make visual art.

By what standard are they 'skimping'? Did they used to translate those sources? In the past I've done a lot of looking into non-English journalism and never found many translations, unless it was done by the publication itself (e.g., it might translate some articles or have an English edition).

2024 Bridge2A Voice Symposium | Voice as a Biomarker of Health

https://www.eventsquid.com/event.cfm?id=22807

The 2024 Voice AI Symposium will be a groundbreaking 2-day event and unique opportunity to connect with stakeholders invested in artificial intelligence and voice biomarkers. This year's symposium will serve as a nexus for dialogue, collaboration, awareness, and engagement across diverse sectors and members of the community about the use voice of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Attendees will experience dynamic speakers, panels, and networking opportunities. Innovative interactive events include a Call for Science with 3 submission categories, a Voice AI Tech Fair, and a patient challenge competition.
Yeah this. After futzing with Excel for over a decade, I switched to GNUcash and the budgeting didn't work, then two other commercial products which didn't work, then I tried to design a product which would solve the problem and that didn't work either. So here I am back on a spreadsheet.

The problem is sometimes things aren't ideal or simple to represent. A spreadsheet forms no restrictions so you can ad-hoc futz with split transactions and all sorts without shooting yourself or getting stuck. Every other way of handling this is just pain and friction.
I can't believe that this is the closest we have to a compact, stand-alone GPU option. There's nothing like a M.2 format GPU out there. All I want is a stand-alone M.2 GPU with modest performance, something on the level of embedded GPUs like Intel UHD Graphics, AMD Radeon, or Qualcomm's Adreno.

I have an idea for a small embedded product which needs a lot of compute and networking, but only very modest graphical capabilities. The NXP Layerscape LX2160A [1] would be perfect, but I have to pass on it because it doesn't come with an embedded GPU. I just want a small GPU!

Some ìssues with this:

1. To what extent does fìnishing high school make people successful, as oppposed to it just being the case that people who have characteristics that are likely to make them successful, such as having been born smart and/or to good parents and/or to rich parents and/or in safe neighborhoods, are also likely to finish high school?

2. More people finishing high school would to create more competition on certain ways, such as in college admissions. Life is not a zero sum game, but at the same time the relationship between the fraction of society graduating high school and that fraction's material success is surely very complex. I think it's possible that above some value of the fraction of people who finish high school statistic, material success will stop increasing as the value keeps increasing.

Some similar issues can be raised with some of the rest of the advice.

What about Snap? I use it all the time on my Ubuntu machines and works perfectly fine. Even files sizes are waay more sane than Flatpack's.
> I highly doubt that your job is slow because Go and fast because Rust, it's slow because process/idiots in other teams/idiots in your team/idiots as your "agile coach" etc.

Team dynamics are of course, very important. But my job is slow absolutely because I don't have hot loading. Sure, yes, I could build hotloading in Rust, but it would be difficult and the resulting code would look be a lot less idiomatic than my Rust code is already; which makes it harder to do.

Because I don't have hotloading and I work with a system where long lived tasks stay on a single server, I can't change the code for existing tasks in progress. Instead, I have to set up a new cluster and let new tasks start on the new cluster, and then I have to later come in and cleanup the old cluster. This is a lot more work than pushing and loading new code on the existing cluster. And it means I need to wait longer to see the results. And tasks have a limited lifetime. Because of the operational cost of doing an update, it's not worthwhile to do small incremental updates, instead I have to batch things into substantial updates and keep track of more things.

At my previous job, we would regularly have tcp connected clients connected for weeks or months with the latest server code via hotloading. I can't do that now. Either I let clients stay connected to old code servers, or I force them to reconnect and lose their state. (Yeah, maybe there's a way to force them to reconnect and transfer their state; that's not easy though)

It's like making a mechanic work without powertools. Yes, you can do everything, but without the proper tools to do my job, everything takes longer. A mechanic trained without access to or knowledge of power tools might not notice the difference, of course. And power tools offer the ability to do both good work and bad work much faster.

Edit to add:

Re the job is to solve problems regardless of language; I don't necessarily disagree, and I'm definitely willing to pitch in and debug nearby systems that are outside of my preferred language, or even write code in a language I despise if it's the best way to solve a problem. But if the majority of my job is in languages that make it harder for me to work, and that's not something that was clear before I took the job, and especially if it's a new thing, it's going to make me look for something else. I'd expect that just as much for someone who feels Erlang makes them more productive as for someone who feels Rust or Java or C or Erlang or Fortran or Lisp or Python or whatever language they love. There's a lot to like about a lot of languages, even if they don't appeal to me.
No, it doesn't. Maple syrup is a minor luxury, easily substituted by other things like jam or honey. Consumers are better off with lower average syrup prices, not propped up by a government cartel, even if those prices have somewhat higher variance: when the price is high, people just substitute away and eat less maple syrup, no big deal. (It's not a necessity like air or water or housing.) If the variance is a big deal for various commercial players like IHOP, then they can just deal with producers directly or someone can set up a futures market, like everything else.

JetZero: Ultra-efficient blended wing body jet
I have sleep apnea and I use a CPAP. During the diagnosis, there were tests but nothing that would/could finger a physical culprit that could be fixed via surgery.

My question is, what tools are there to narrow, to a certainty, what would need to be done via surgery? In all my research I have found none. Maybe I missed them. If I did not, then it amounts to a guess by a surgeon. And that's what worries me and has fed a lot of the horror stories I've read about.

I'll give you one guess if I'm a local or not!
I couldn’t agree more.

The idea that “working hard and smart leads to success” is “toxic” in so. Any ways one of which you’ve explained. The other is how it leads successful people to (often falsely) believe that their success is mainly attributable to their hard work and intellect, and assume moral superiority over other less successful people.

Somehow it eludes people that while “hard” work and “being smart” is generally a virtue, there’s often situations in life where one can’t consciously control the outcome.

Instead of (implicitly?) measuring the virtue (or even “worth”) of people by how successful they are, perhaps society as a whole should start recognizing that most people probably already gave their best regardless of eventual outcome, and while some might be more “lucky” than others by some metrics, in the end we are all human beings and everyone deserves the same level of respect.

What we need is traceability from learning data to final output in AIs and cite those as a source/store in the metadata for the produced output. That way there is no question as to what works were consulted, and people can check to see if their copyrighted work was used without permission by the LLM/diffusion model.

I understand this is a hard problem, but lots of tech needs to solve hard problems, and if AI was anything but a plot by the billionaire class to obsolete the need to pay professionals to do work, it would be required. As the people in power benefit from it, nothing will probably be done on this front.
There's a new board by Trenz with a Versal chip which can do 440 GFLOPS just with the DSP58 slices (the lowest speed grade) and it costs under 1000 Euros, but you also need to buy a Vivado license currently.

Cheaper boards are definitely possible since there are smaller parts in that family, but they need to offer support for some of them in the free version of Vivado...

> as a species, there is no mechanism to actually arrive at a decision which would result in a particular choice being made.

We make choices like that regularly, in fact. We're a social species and organize ourselves, make rules, make large scale decisions through government.

It's a myth that gets repeated here. In reality, it's more subtle. Laws can be the legal basis for some processing, if it is deemed proportional; and in some countries (eg. France), government agencies cannot be fined.

GDPR doesn't apply to EU activities related to foreign policy or law enforcement, but EUCFR articles 7 and 8 still apply, as does regulation 2018/1725 for the former, and directive 2016/680 for the latter–so in theory, some activities are indeed exempted from GDPR, in practice, they're still subject to data protection laws that require essentially the same measures as GDPR.
