People can appear to be calm whilst also being aggressive.

Which isn’t the same as actually being calm and in control.

(Author here) Across several city blocks, in fact, and longer than the max range of Ethernet on normal (Cat 5/5e/6) cables.

Past ~300ft/100m, you need a repeater even for Ethernet. We would have needed at least one repeater somewhere along the line, which adds even more cost and complexity on top of needing to get permits from the city and approvals from all the neighbors in between. Anyone that says "just go get a permit from the city" has never tried doing it.

- If it gets marked as spam anyway, the user can just open the spam folder to use it

- Even if you have high deliverability, that might not translate to it actually getting into the inbox

Vagus nerve stimulation can help IBD

> The vagus nerve regulates inflammation and cytokine release through the inflammatory reflex. Recent pilot clinical trials using implantable bioelectronic devices have demonstrated the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in adult patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) as an alternative to drug treatments.

For me, it's the concept of how computers actually work under the hood that I want my kids to have a grasp on. It's all files in a file system, and they all do different things. And that's different than what might be going on when you load a website, though it's all (sorta) files on the other end of that as well.

Files have metadata that describes to the operating system what they are for, and how they are to be used.

Etc, etc.

This is information that I think will be very enlightening for them, even though not strictly required to operate a computer these days.

> I think there's a lot of people reacting to this article as if "vaccines in food" is a "baseless conspiracy theory" when in fact it's in the study phase.

Eggs are used to produce flu vaccines, but that doesn't mean those particular eggs can be sold as a food product. The same is going to be true for vaccine lettuce; as with any other vaccination, they'll fall under FDA regulation as drugs.
My mind was blown when I saw the 4F experiment, where a lens transforms an image into the Fourier domain. I'm not sure if it's related to the Fresnel zone (I think it is not or only very vaguely), but it's pretty amazing:

A widened beam of collimated light (i.e. parallel beams) is sent through e.g. a slide with some image printed on it. Using a lens placed one focal length away, it is focused down to a point (one focal length from the lens). One more focal length from that point, the beam will have reached its original width again, and another lens makes it parallel again, projecting it onto a screen placed one focal length from the second lens:

| () . () |
image lens point lens screen

This will behave exactly as expected at first glance. The image will be visible on the screen (upside down IIRC) and if you hold a piece of paper into the point, you'll just see a single bright dot. However, what's actually present (due to diffraction) is the Fourier transform of the image! If you put an iris around the point, the image on the screen becomes blurry because you just filtered the high frequencies! And what's even more impressive, if you remove the center of the point (e.g. by inserting a glass slide with a small black circle in the middle), you'll get only the high frequencies, and the image on the screen will be the edges of the original image.

Been writing code for 25+ years. 10+ years professionally. Started freelancing a few years back. I've done a number of projects with the community so far, and really hoping to find new avenues currently. On the side I release a great deal of open source software at https://github.com/jcmccormick.

I've made web applications (front and back end concurrently) for the majority of my time developing. However, now I have turned my sights on to LLM use. I have now learned how to work with all kinds of backends (JAX, Transformers, PyTorch, etc.) while being able to effectively fine tune my own models (from other bases). Definitely not a math major, but I do understand the practical use and intentions of model layers, matrix multiplications, and other various inner processes of neural networks.

I am currently working on a project that produces AST parses of one of my projects (20k+ loc), turns them into embeddings, and trains a model to answer questions and help me continue to code that project. All I can say is that it does work on principle, and is just a matter of time before I'll have a generalized pipeline for such projects.

If any of this sounds valuable to you, I'm certainly looking forward to utilizing my knowledge, so please do reach out via linkedin messenger, or my email. Thanks for your time.
Oh this looks really cool, thanks for sharing

You can do that directly with customers without doing a public announcement and potentially confusing people. It's a bad idea.
There is no Constitutional provision for splitting the state based on counties for ballot propositions.

https://www.dgs.ca.gov/Resources/SAM/TOC/6000/6920
I'm ignoring that because it doesn't matter. Are you saying that our population is simply growing without places for people to stay? Half our population is homeless or something? If the state were doing so poorly, there wouldn't be demand to live here.

And if you want to call me ignorant, give me the source on those "record lows" because all I can find is https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SMU06000002023610001SA like are you comparing to the 2006 bubble?

> Might as well tell people not to be poor. Super useful advice, bub.

The suggestion is that if you cannot afford to live in an ok part of a city, you can instead be in a rural area, or better yet not live in California if you dislike it this much. I don't know if you'd find life better in the comparable part of Dallas or Detroit; weather alone might change your mind.
A lot of bullshit about imaginary "catastrophic risks" and justifying why they've turned into closed and for profit. I'm going to be extra mad if this influences the government to restrict others from open sourcing
Feels like Detroit was happy to sell a few EVs for carbon credits or to soak up the tax incentives and not a unit more. They are well positioned to shoot for the ‘second car’ market. They didn’t have to go big, or work on trucks that can’t tow.

For example the Bolt is solid and GM should have done everything in their power to put one in every EV buyer’s driveway.

The bolt could have had a cabriolet version, a little higher range version, offroad, cut the price harder, etc. It is a shame to lose those years of market building. Imagine throwing that away while Toyota was gifting you that time.

The Mach-E was a decent placement, and you’d think the Cadillac could have taken a lot of Y sales away.

Rivian was smart to go toward the R3.
The funny part about this whole thing is that Google actively works to ensure that websites cannot tell that you are in Incognito mode. For instance, see [1]

If Google servers have a way to detect that a request arrives using Incognito mode, then so does everyone else, which means its a bug that Google needs to fix. And if we assume that a server cannot tell you are in Incognito mode (specifically), then there is no way to turn off the normal tracking mechanisms that a website might employ. This is one of those things where it sounds like a good idea to tell websites to not track users who use Incognito, but in practice that would actually be a bad idea, because then websites would constantly tell you that you are not allowed to browse their site in Incognito, and thus no one would use it...

Now, the kind of tracking that would work across independent Incognito sessions would be user fingerprinting, and using fingerprinting to bypass the desire of a user to shake off being associated with an identity is shady behavior. If the lawsuit is alleging that Google is using fingerprinting techniques to associate traffic without cookies to a common identity, well then why aren't they suing them for that? That's bad whether you use Incognito or not.

The whole thing is pretty dumb.

Also interesting: Assuming that Google indeed cannot tell server-side whether you are in Incognito mode, exactly what are they deleting as part of this settlement? The article does have a quote: "We are happy to delete old technical data that was never associated with an individual and was never used for any form of personalization."

I guess this means Google is just deleting old data that they were unable to associate with a person, but the entire claim was that Google was associating Incognito traffic together with a person's non-Incognito traffic- so effectively Google is doing nothing here. And yet I'm not sure what they could do.

Wow your replies are disappointing. Initially you gave me the impression that you had a direct counterpoint to ggm's statement on intelligence testing. But now you're bringing the conversation down to "what is intelligence?"? Sure, there is a point to make about scientific rigor. But when you have 10-20 different, highly desirable, cognitive traits that all correlate positively with IQ, then the evidence is definitely saying something.

>if we want to learn about a given phenomenon x, we don't do that by studying things that are about x but not x.

But if we want to learn about x, we often have to consider the real life implications of x.
What does happen is acceptance of routine and time passing faster. With that, time for self decreases, a loss in time sovereignty.

To combat this, make small changes. Do everything differently every day. Sleep in a different position. Wet shave one day, dry the other, start in a different location. Do your morning exercise or commute in different orders and routes, etc, and if crashing out with the TV in the evening do so purposefully rather than habitually. And eat lots of fibre.
I'd love to give my robot vac water gun abilities so it can defend itself from cat attacks. One day.
... The engineering culture which gave us 200kb fragile, semi-autogenerated configure scripts checked in to our repositories. Configure scripts which - as we've just seen - are a great place to hide malicious code.

Email: azuremismachine [at] gmail.com

About me:

I'm a machine learning engineer who's also pursuing an AI apprenticeship (equivalent to masters in AI). I am a proficient systematic thinker who enjoys applying logical reasoning to find elegant and performant solutions to complex problems. I'm focused on natural language processing (NLP) primarily.

I have industry experience with recommendation systems, reinforcement learning, chatbot development, information extraction, knowledge graphs and generative AI, specifically large language models from my most recent role in a high growth startup.

I have a strong background in data science and machine learning. I am motivated by the challenge and opportunity of using AI strategicialy to solve real-world problems and enjoy learning from experienced engineers. My goal is to become a leader in the field of artificial intelligence so I can amplify my positive impact on society.

On a more general front, I'm intrigued by robotics, the mind and consciousness and fascinated by neuroscience and philosophy. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, meditating, travelling and reading. My favourite book is The Untethered Soul by Michael Alan Singer.

Let's speak :)
It seems China isn't worried about this anti-chinese policy. Quite scary.

> a number of nation-state cyber threat actors who were abusing our GPT-3.5-Turbo and GPT-4 models to assist in cyberoffensive operations.

Not sure I buy this. Sure there was that half hearted case they blogged about. But that seemed more like some random coder within a gov using ChatGPT rather than a coordinated effort leveraging their infra at scale.

Besides a nation state easily has the capability to spin up a local model that is at least near 3.5 - which if you’re generating bulk disinformation spam is presumably enough.

Docker. It would be helpful for my job in certain situations and I also find it interesting. I also recently started getting back into HTML/CSS.
Ctrl+Alt+Del would do it. It was Windows NT which brought the "lock screen" when pressing that combo.
> requiring compounded infinitely improbable samples of luck to have been created

Not sure what you mean here. Evolution doesn't work by rolling all the dice at once and only selecting a winner if all the dice match some magic string. Evolution is a selective tuning process; it works (figuratively) by rolling all the dice at once and keeping the dice that do match the magic string and then re-rolling the rest[1].

[1] Of course that's not how evolution actually works. It works by selecting very tiny slightly different versions of things in a biased way. Those biased versions of things just happen to be things that can make more of themselves, and so the system automatically selects for things that good at self-replicating and surviving. Evolution doesn't jump all over the place with infinite improbabilities, it is actually a very systematic and even somewhat predictable exploration of the fitness landscape.
I didn't say "just" some DB hacker. He's almost certainly much more skilled than most "security" people I would say.

But he wasn't actively looking for security bugs nor gives off security researcher hubris.
I think ZSTD is a bigger jump in terms of perf/compression ratio to the existing alternatives to JPEG XL. At least that's the type of comment Mozilla seemed to be saying on the topic.

Not to my knowledge. Everything in those videos is consistent with what I saw while living in San Francisco. I had a homeless tweaker that kept breaking into our building to do drugs in the garage. I know their name and where they’re from because I had to get a restraining order. They were not a local. They were getting social security/disability AND the city gave them cash/debit card monthly. I know because I cleaned up their trash and saw the receipts and that’s how I got their name to serve them.

Like I said above, I was a progressive voter my entire life and never questioned it. But there are only so many times you’re gonna clean up human feces or needles before it changes your ideological perspective on deregulating drugs and theft…
"Child" and "Parent" are already universally understood and easy to remember. No reason to invent new words to explain this concept, it will only make IT harder to learn, not easier.

Some other terminology is taking this metaphor a bit far, like "Orphan", but it makes sense even if it's not a 100% ideal analogy. What matters is that it's easy to remember and explain.
Bonus humor that it’s a dog. You could just be trying to accurately refer to it!

Ah, great point. I misread OP. Thank you to clarify.
I too know people with similar background who worked on app development on said "missions". However,

(1) The vast majority of missionaries for @ashton314's church spend the vast majority of their time proselyting.

(2) The inclusion of "training to other volunteers" and exclusion of more unique experiences implies @ashton314 falls in this majority.

I agree that I assumed this applied to @ashton314, but it's not like that was a large leap of faith.
