Hmm ya good points.

Well maybe "fiberless fiber optics" where each end would have a plugin for an arbitrary length of fiber optic cable, normally about 10 feet long, that would run up to the ceiling and optionally exit a lens to talk to the other end through open air, with maybe a range of 100+ meters or something. If someone could make one for under $100 that could handle 10K HDMI/100 Gbps, I'd buy it. Ideally with radio fallback on something like NR for partial functionality if the view gets blocked. I want something that "just works".

Thinking about this further, I'd like to see a resilient fiber optic standard with a 180 or 360 degree fisheye lens where bandwidth falls off by angle of alignment. So light bouncing off the walls might give 1 Mb/sec, but direct line of sight would give Gbps to Tbps speed.

It's 2024 for crying out loud. I'd like to see some of these trillion dollar tech companies actually innovate for once instead of milking decades-old technologies and sucking up all the available capital to keep us delivering fast food instead of inventing this stuff in our parents' basement like in the late 1900s when people had any leisure time or disposable income at all.
Love it. One of the things we're focused on is getting better anatomical movement out of existing models. These models are great with animations like waves, cars, trains, flames, etc., but they struggle with people outside of basic movements. We're optimistic about future models, and we still think there are interesting, funny, exciting stories you can tell with what's available today!
I thought the article was going to talk more about how Twitter isn’t really used for breaking news as ubiquitously anymore. It used to be the authority on that sort of thing, almost like it was “faster” than other social media.

It’s hard to put a finger on but to me it feels like the changes put together put Twitter in more of a niche landscape, like it’s not that app that everyone uses and everyone references on TV shows anymore. It’s just one of the more mediocre options in a sea of other social media.

There was a time when nothing else really did the same function that Twitter did.

I have to think that Reddit is really taking over the breaking news space that Twitter used to dominate. TikTok and Instagram pull away a lot of the entertainment. Threads is yet another new alternative, along with Mastodon and BlueSky their sliver as well.

This isn’t a company that’s likely to grow its user base or even keep it stable anytime soon.
Man, what a throwback. I absolutely LOVED Notepad++. Then I transitioned to macOS and Brackets, then Atom, then Sublime Text.

Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane.
I see, I guess the Canva playbook could work here.
They learned it from somewhere.
Mugging is much more violent and personal. SBF didn't see you and think "that's the person I'm going to get" he essentially created a fraud machine that you and hundreds of others got caught up in. Very impersonal.
I do think that Sam Bankman Fried will commit more fraud the second he is able to. He hasn't shown any remorse, and he just blames everyone else for this mess even when there's dead-to-rights evidence.
"You are holding it wrong", huh?

From the homepage https://kubernetes.io/:

"Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications."

Do you see "not recommended for smaller-scale applications" anywhere? Including on the entire home page? Looking for "small", "big" and "large" also yields nothing.
You’ve identified one of the primary failures of the courts. As the number of victims raises the punishment for each victim decreases in our judicial system. Victim count is an aggravating factor and should be a multiple when calculating punishment. Instead we have a system that pretends to grant justice but is an actuality a tool of injustice and repression wielded by people whose entire perspective can be effectively reduced to might makes right. Despite our toys and complicated rhetoric we’re still just violent animals holding those with the least autonomy the most accountable and those with the most autonomy can escape the consequences of their violence indefinitely. A mass revolt or protest of the judicial system in the next generation would not surprise me in the least.
You think he woke up that day and said to himself, "Today, I'm going to get drunk, drive my car, speed, crash, and kill two people."

No. He did not. Everything that happened was likely unplanned. Hence, no forethought. And I doubt he was trying to hit anybody. Hence, no malice.

Yes, he still made those choices and they were bad choices. So he does need to make restitution. But the fact that he wasn't intentionally trying to do what he did makes his offense different than SBF's.

Now, is there an issue that our penal system is ultimately more punitive than rehabilitory? Of course, but even from a punitive standpoint, accidental murder should warrant less punishment than intentional large-scale multi-billion dollar fraud. We can't base punishments solely on the outcome of an event. Intent of the perpetrator has to matter.

> Tiny buttons toolbars were the norm for decades (...) before Microsoft transitioned to the "Ribbon" style in 2007.

The Ribbon still feels to me like that "new thing" Microsoft did since some version of Office... and you're telling me it was 2007?!! Oh my...

A bit before that time I already moved to Open/LibreOffice, and never really used any Windows past 7, so I've missed a whole UI paradigm transition that now makes Windows feel like a complete stranger to me.
I Wouldn't Want to Have an Engineering Degree
What's interesting is when I think about MS-DOS these days, I think I could make a functional duplicate in short order. But nobody did it at the time.

(How I'd do it is write all the semantic code in D, such as the code for EDLIN, and debug it all. Then hand-translate it into asm.)

P.S. One of the smartest things Gates/Allen did to write their original BASIC was to write an 8080 emulator on a PDP-10(?). This enabled much, much faster development than trying to hand-assemble code and toggle it in.
The moral of the story is to always accept a plea deal if there is some chance of your being seen as guilty.
No warhead and it's meant to be reusable. Very different engineering for an actual missile weapon that is intended to fly once.
This is true, but it's also subjective. The question of competence and correct behavior is subjective. There could be validity in the "yes boss" perspective. I say that despite having a very strong bias against the "yes boss" personality myself.

Ultimately both sides of this need to approach with humility and understand how little they can see and influence, and how all perception is subjective.
It’s decentralized in the same way lobbying a politician is decentralized.

Unless I’m remembering incorrectly, you need a ton of eth to partake in eth PoS voting.
I think there's one more intrinsic safeguard for these radios vs. drones.

Handheld radios are mostly not useful in an urban setting (compared with a cell phone), and only other radio users can even be bothered by them.

Unlike "drone spotted in posh neighborhood looking into windows" as a headline, "Baofeng user briefly interferes with garage door opener" just doesn't have any edge.
I do that already, but I'd rather just not appear at all. I admit this is a position of hostility, but my hostility towards stuff like this has been well-earned over years.
Yes, I know, but the type of fraud and conspiracy SBF committed is much easier when you're at a financial institution that essentially has no regulators or auditors keeping tabs on thing.

Just read some of the reports John Ray III, the current "cleanup" FTX CEO, wrote shortly after he was brought in. It was a total clown show, with little to no documentation for things like huge multimillion loans to FTX principals. It's a lot easier to steal money when there is no standardized, auditable paper trail to begin with.
Why do they have a problem with people being aroused?
My client has never stolen billions before. Mercy, your honor!
I've smoked weed before beach running for decades. It definitely improved the experience.

I advocate against the headphones. If you're in a place where you don't want to hear what's going on arouind you, I'd recommend working out somewhere else.

This goes hand in hand with the fact that a workout does not necessitate any kind of payment or membership.

Go outside, enjoy your surroundings, pay attention to the real world. The overwhelming amount of time spent on digital emmersion is one of the biggest things that can be countered during exercise.
Congrats! The launch is a stellar example of focusing on key functionality and cutting everything else. Core tech is amazing.

I played writing an intro for some documentation I'm creating, and it was amazing. It felt very conversational, very different than traditional dictation software.

1. I have the same question as others, what's the privacy policy? Where is this being used? I'd like to expend for work but their first question is where the content is going.

2. And straying from focusing on core functionality, do you have a vision of a code specific version of this? Do you feel like a specialized model/tool is needed or do you believe this can take care of it.

Currently, I tried asking it to write out `def func():[newline]pass` and then correcting it but didn't get very far:

Overall, great work!
I'd add React-Native / expo to your list.

Flutter is written in Dart but renders to a canvas on the web making it a very, very poor choice for web apps. Especially backend/fullstack apps. Plus you can't use tailwind or whatever flavor of css library there is today. Flutter just nailed the "get up and running" part which we've got as well: `cargo binstall dioxus-cli`, `dx new`, `dx bundle` is literally less than 30 seconds. Hopefully `dx deploy` coming soon.

Electron is... it's electron. A whole chromium instance, an IPC bridge between your frontend and the system, NodeJS, etc. If you compile for size, our desktop apps are 3mb. You can easily deploy them on an embedded/low end device. We're hoping to eat some market share in the embedded-ish land (not true embedded, but like industrial or POS).

Dioxus also has mobile and desktop compatible server functions which basically no other projects have. Expo has been kinda exploring this space. One of our examples is deploying your own LLM on your own infrastructure with a dioxus mobile app UI and it fits in a single file and builds in under a minute.
No they arent. Wtf are you even talking about. We literally just had a crash on an A350 where everybody escaped threw the exit doors before the plane burned down.

Inost crashes most people escape threw the emergency doors.

There is a question how fast is fast enough. But fast escape are incredibly important.
Jetbrains has Double Shift and Ctrl+Shift+A.
> What I was asking was by your logic, 22 is less protective of society than 102, which makes me question the validity of "it protects society" reasoning

The answer to all variations of your underlying question in your post is because when handing down sentences, there are multiple, oft-conflicting considerations. We don't only consider societal safety - if we did we'd just jail everyone for life.

6000 is right because it is the right point of balance between keeping society safe and the rights of the imprisoned, while reflecting the seriousness of the crime without being cruel or unusual. Prison sentences inherently take away rights from the prisoner, and this is yet another thing that's thrown onto the pile of considerations for tradeoffs which individually lengthen or shorten the term of imprisonment. It's not a binary decision like you propose (imprisoned vs not imprisoned for any crime), but finding the right balance point (likely region or volume) on multidimensional axes.

I'm not a trial judge, but I can think of the following factors off thr top of my head: nature of crime committed, remorse, amount of harm, restitution (if any), sentencing guidelines in the law, probability of recidivism, safety of society, safety of defendant, sentences issued on similar cases in the past, appeals on similar cases in the past, prosecutor sentencing recommendations, defense sentencing recommendations, time already served, culpability, the number of charges defendant is found guilty of and whether they can be served simultaneously or not, etc. You're ignoring all of these and projecting the sentence to a single dimension (societal safety).

You haven't answered why you think we imprison people in the first place (or if we should). We cant have a fruitful discussion about which sentence durations are "better" without knowing what metrics we are measuring.

The omission of Perl from this post was pretty striking - not even mentioned in the final thoughts (instead thought to do the whole thing in awk??).

Perl has fallen from grace as a general programming language and even as a systems administration language, but it's still absolutely the best and most ubiquitous tool for text manipulation.
Thank you for explaining this
If you commit ten robberies before you're caught are you a first time offender? What vapid logic
I recently booked a trip in India through a travel agent, and they shared the itinerary via https://travefy.com/. I enjoyed using the app to review the schedule for the upcoming day and that sort of thing. No idea how much of my fee went towards that.
By targeting civilians, do you mean killing them? If that was Israel's goal, why would they need facial recognition? Facial recognition suggests selective targeting; if the goal was to kill civilians wouldn't they just carpet bomb without worrying about any particular targets?
On the contrary, sociopaths typically only care about the deterrent.
Even more, Madoff actually turned himself in. I doubt he was "remorseful", mostly just realizing how insolvent he was, but it demonstrates at least some accountability on his end.

The difference between opinions in this thread is interesting.

I think it's mainly because some see a punishment as revenge and others as correction.

But, as user publius_0xf3 is showing, revenge does not work. The victims don't get their money back.

If this sentence is used as correction I also think it does not work. Would such a correction really take 25 years? His life is over. I don't see how such a long time is helpful to him, to his victims and to society.

I was just repeating the quoted comment from the post I was replying to. Wasn't intending to say that the article was about tokens.

More generally, I would say that Etherium itself is mostly nonsense. I will admit I don't understand very well what the purpose of the "blobs" are that are being discussed in the article, but from my perspective the entire idea of blockchain technology is not useful. I have yet to be convinced that there is any real problem being solved by it, but there are a lot of problems that are created, which then need to be resolved with ever more esoteric and unproven solutions, like what is described in this article.
Purely speculation on my part, but I tend to feel similarly, and I think the reason is that the mugger includes a physical threat of violence.

Evolutionarily, the emergence of an economy with capital at modern-day scales are so new that we haven't had time to really adjust emotionally. It kind of reminds me of the various birds on previously untouched-by-humanity islands that had no fear of humans and would just sit there and allow a human to club them to death, until their species went extinct. They had no time evolutionarily to develop an innate (emotional) fear of humans.

Physical violence/robbery on the other hand is a long-standing human tradition, and something we are hardwired to react to emotionally (Amygdala vs. PFC, etc). We can of course override our Amygdalas with our PFCs to some extent (in the medium to long-term), but the "gut reaction" core is still there.

Another possible reason (for me at least) is that ethically I have a lot of inner turmoil over violent punishments (which physical incarceration absolutely is IMHO) for nonviolent crimes. Of course reality is much more grayscale than that given that crimes like SBFs could leave a family destitute and starving, which is violence-adjacent if not outrightly violent. A violent sentence for a violent crime intuitively feels a lot more "let the punishment fit the crime" than a violent sentence for a nonviolent crime.

Anyway, I don't have answers, but throwing some speculation onto the pile.
Wait...why did a public pension fund invest in crypto-related <something>?
(I still don't know what FTXes product was, but clearly it wasn't bare BTC or ETH, implying it was a risky derivative of a risky underlying asset).
we may think more similarly than you seem to think...

this was more a slam on python packaging in general, than it is on the OpenAI implementation.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of the issues under this topic are more related to Python package version nightmares, than OpenAI's Python implementation itself.

It's the most sensible outcome, really. How can you be expected to follow the law if the law isn't easily available to read? ISO/IEC has always felt like legally-enforced predatory rent-seeking to me. Why do I need to pay several hundred dollar just to download a shitty PDF to implement some absolutely trivial stuff, like ISO 8601 documenting a datetime format?

I much prefer the USB approach, where manufacturers have to pay to participate in writing the standards and you have to pay a certified laboratory to verify your product meets the standards, but the standard itself is open and freely available to anyone. Rather than gatekeeping safety and compatibility it promotes innovation and experimentation instead - any hobbyist or startup can try something out without spending a fortune first.
Came for spiders. Was disappointed.
If you think it’s “revenge” then yeah, you can say it doesn’t work. In reality it is a punishment and deterrent to future victimizers.
I mean RWKV seems promising and isn’t a transformer model.

Transformers have first mover advantage. They were the first models that scaled to large parameter counts.

That doesn’t mean they’re the best or that they’ve won, just that they were the first to get big (literally and metaphorically)
We should apply more rules to cars. The solution clearly isnt to relax airplane regulation.
Girardian theory describes the kinds of people who have scapegoat potential. It doesn’t prophecy that every insider/outsider will get killed, but that they have or are a sign of mimetic energy.

We are experiencing capulets vs mortigues.

Girard is also describing ancient origins. He argues the effectiveness and violence of scapegoating is reduced in modern context.
Sure, but the regulator in this case is making an argument that it's creating an unfair pressure to make you purchase a thing, and that the timer is consistently shorter than it needs to be.

It's the same thing as going on a website and it says "order within next 30 minutes for a 50% discount" and then you come back an hour later and it still says the same thing - it creates an incentive on you to purchase by creating an illusion of urgency. It's the illusion part that the regulators have a problem with.
Ignoring for the moment that transistors and synapses are very different in their function, the current in a CPU transistor is in the milliampere range...

That seems implausible. Apple's M2 has 20 billion transistors and draws 15 watts at full power [1]. Even assuming that 90% of those transistors are for cache and not logic, that would still be 2 billion logic transistors * 1 milliampere = 2 million amperes at full power. That would imply a voltage of 7.5 microvolts, which is far too low for silicon transistors.

Even in the most restrictive définition of recall as in "retrieve a short contiguous piece of information inside an unrelated context", it's not that good. It's always the exact same needle inserted in the exact same context. Not the slightest variation apart from the location of the needle.

Then if you want to test for recall of sparse information or multi-hop information, it's useless.

I'm not convinced. The main selling point is that developers don't have to know the previous code to make changes... complete with a precedence system.

Apart from seeing very little explanation why this would work, I can't help but think of a Website, where instead of replacing existing classes, we add more and more with higher specificity.
