Yup. On which note, the Higgs' symmetry breaking should really have changed the vacuum energy density by something orders of magnitude larger than the density of dark energy...

Number of fans does not imply quality. Case in point; see any "so bad it's good" fandom. Nothing wrong with that. GP's opinion is valid.
> Regurgitation seconds after is what already happens with the AP though.

The AP makes about half a billion a year from other outlets paying them for permission to regurgitate their content. That's not the same as the AI lobby saying they should be allowed to scrape apnews.com and publish articles derived from the content they get from there, for free, and without attribution.
Isn't sun burn damage and nuclear reactor damgage the same type but at different magnitudes? If your skin becomes red and hot a few hours after being exposed to the sun it's because your immune system is killing off cells that had their DNA damaged. The damage is not caused by heat but by radiation.

This spokeperson looks pity... They doesn't have any power to influence or even represent the policy but has to react promptly. I guess they don't even know whether this issue is under the radar of decision makers? Perhaps that's the reason why they had to speak like AI.
Yes, you read correctly. They refused to provide service at the nearest corner of the property (where it would be a short drop from a pole) and insisted that it be at the primary dwelling. That was going to be more than some maximum distance for new aerial service imposed by the municipality, so would have to be underground. Comcast refused to let me hire my own contractor to install a conduit, and instead wanted $300 per foot and a needlessly circuitous path. That's where $210k came from. Their original bid at $1M didn't have any details on cost breakdown.

I didn't get Comcast.

EU Star Wars was a big part of growing up for me. Obsessed with the books and games, especially KOTOR. Countless nights on Wookiepedia just reading articles.

Sad what Disney did, but remember the EU content didn’t disappear. You can still read the books and play the games and pretend Disney never happened. :)
We should be working to strengthen journalism as a practice. LLMs will do anything but.
It's pretty simple why these Unix vendors all died. Linux and Intel chips. Sure you could get a really nice Sun system at the time with all of the redundancy tech built in, which cost around $50k. Or you can go and get 4 or 5 Linux servers from Dell running RedHat which by the early 2000's were faster too.
What's the point of candidate personas? I read the text in your website (well skimmed) and i still don't get how it helps with finding the right person to fill the job.

Does your AI match the job description to a list of candidate resumes? Or does your customer take the personas you generate and do that themselves?

I'm not a recruiter so this isn't making sense to me but perhaps that's a good thing if it does make sense to the right customer
To go a bit deeper, while still keeping it at a very high level what changes were made between each generation:

PCIe 1.0 & PCIe 2.0:

Encoding: 8b/10b

PCIe 2.0 -> PCIe 3.0 transition:

Encoding changed from 8b/10b to 128b/130b, reducing bandwidth overhead from 20% to 1.54.
Changes here in the actual PCB material to allow for higher frequencies. Like changing away from PCB material like FR-4 to something else [2].

PCIe 3.0, PCIe 4.0, PCIe 5.0:

Encoding: 128b/130b

There is plenty to dive deep on, things like:

- PCB Material for high-frequency signals (FR4 vs others?)

- Signal integrity

- Link Equalization

- Link Negotiation

Then decide which layer of PCIe to look at:

- Physical

- Data / Transmission

- Link Layer

- Transaction

A good place to read more is from the PCI-SIG FAQ section for each generation spec that explains how they managed to change the baud rate as you mentioned.

Some people feel that such phrases add no information and should be stripped in favour of brevity. I disagree. These phrases act similarly to prosody (inflection, tone of voice), adding some often hard-to-define context as to the nature of what is being said.

This particular phrase indicates that what comes next is not part of the main thrust of the argument but a side observation in support of it. It prepares the reader or listener to receive it in that spirit rather than have to figure its status out for themselves. Used superfluously or incorrectly it can be pompous and empty, but used well it can genuinely improve comprehensibility, even if a word processor's grammar checker might choose to put a squiggly line under it.

I counter that the reality is the vast majority of people do not meaningfully understand the exchange they are making. I'm not saying they're stupid or blaming them whatsoever; it's a similar phenomenon to playing the lottery. Our brains aren't equipped to understand such unintuitive phenomena.

Why would a disappointingly simple explanation be a hint that there are gaps in our models? Or am I parsing that part wrong?

I disagree that it's really that simple an explanation, though. Our best theoretical prediction for dark energy is that it should be denser by dozens of orders of magnitude. It's not remotely clear why the actual value seems to be so small, especially since it's not exactly zero.
Problem is the layoff, not the PR balance.

Blaming the failure of the 2000 Camp David talks solely on the PLO is a convenient lie that seems to only serve to justify the increasingly harsh treatment of Palestinians by Israel. The historical record shows that both parties were not willing enough to compromise in order to create the two state solution [1].

Standards bodies only standardize things after they've been proven to work. You can't standardize a new idea before offering it to the market. It's hard enough to get just one vendor to experiment with an idea (it literally took me years to convince everyone inside Cloudflare that we should build Durable Objects). Getting N competing vendors to agree on it -- before anything has been proven in the market -- is simply not possible.

But the Durable Objects API is not complicated and there's nothing stopping competing platforms from building a compatible product if they want. Much of the implementation is open source, even. In fact, if you build an app on DO but decide you don't want to host it on Cloudflare, you can self-host it on workerd:

Interesting, so we can’t criticize banks and banks either are or are not owned by people, which may or may not be key to solving this. So the answer to the riddle of “who rules over you?” is either “no one” or “I don’t know”, which is very clever! You cannot criticize a group that either does not exist or you can’t identify!

This is fun, it reminds me of Benjamin Franklin Gates solving the clue of the secret that lies with Charlotte!

How? There is no execution model. The LLM simply responds, in JSON format, with the name of a function and its corresponding arguments in alignment with the JSON Schema spec you provided beforehand. It is entirely on you to do something with that information.

At the end of the day it is really not all that different to asking an LLM to respond with JSON in the prompt, but offers greater stability in the response as it will strictly adhere to the spec you defined and not sometimes go completely off the rails with unparseable gobbledygook as LLMs are known to do.

I have had three jobs so far, and I applied for none of them.

It was just people reaching out to me via mail, or LinkedIn DM.

I would be asked to take interview rounds. After those interview rounds, I would just receive the contract PDF via email. I would then start on a stipulated date.

I of course failed one on the 4th rounds (of 5 total). One other job, I had done everything good, but they ghosted me anyway.

There was one Engineering Manager reaching out to me from FAANG, which I did not take up, because I had multiple different things going on, and studying for FAANG interview takes time- no matter who you are. So, I said that I would be in touch after some of those things were over. But, then came the big layoffs...

Then I reached out and they let me know that their team wasn’t hiring anymore, and encouraged me to apply to somewhere else. Which I was not again interested at that point.

I regret that the most.

The author of LFortran here.

The demo at https://dev.lfortran.org uses our direct WASM backend that does not use LLVM. It is currently more limited, and indeed, we currently do not support the cubic power x**3 there, only square power x**2. Our most advanced backend is LLVM, and that of course supports x**3 and a very wide subset of Fortran (such as 60% of all SciPy packages fully compile and all SciPy tests pass). However, LLVM is huge and relatively slow, so we do not use LLVM in the online demo, which runs the compiler itself in the browser.

For offline LLVM based WASM compilation I think LFortran is ready be tried. We'll be happy to help!

Have you read the article? It's about the mitigation system (the heap sandbox) they have in place to limit the bugs in the JIT can inevitably generate, not about improving the security of the generated code.

Correct, Rust won't help with the JIT part. But it would help with the sandbox escape which is the 2nd exploit that has to be paired with a JIT exploit now. As they noted, these sandbox escapes are primarily dealing with trivial memory safety issues that Rust would just make impossible to begin with, thereby significantly raising the efficacy of the sandbox mechanism.

What I wish this article had was a simulation that generated the best kart for each variety of stats. The article doesn't really address that different karts suit different driving styles, so as a Mario Kart lover I was hoping there would be a list of the best karts for each of a variety of different driving styles.

But this isn't _really_ about Mario Kart I suppose...

The problem with the JIT? Sure. I'm talking about the sandbox escapes which is what you now need to pair JIT exploits with to get an RCE in the renderer. Rust would help eliminate those sandbox escapes more effectively than trying to continue to harden the C++ codebase.

The word lying implies that Reuters was aware, either before or after publication, that their information is untrue, and they published that false information purposely and failed to correct it.

On that basis, it doesn't seem like Reuters is lying. It seems like Reuters has been accused of lying, by someone with a history of misunderstandings with the truth.

It may be the case that they have lied. That would be a pretty egregious act by Reuters. It may also be the case that Elon Musk has reason or incentive to cast doubt on the story whether it is true or not.

It's true that the municipal heating services turn the heat on but there are definitely dials you can turn - I lived in four different commie blocks and in every one the radiators had dials. Nowadays they even have wireless sensors to bill you for the heat you actually used and of course enforce the requirement to have them on most of the time so as to not become a heat sink.

They've proven particularly useful when due to a mistake in reading the apartment plan the workers installed the radiator meant for the living room in my room.

I was hired to implement and operate a specific product for a specific customer who paid for four years of onsite support. I do other things too, but that's my one contractually obligated responsibility and my primary one.

Turns out the customer didn't read the (enormously expensive) SOW. They don't want the product, can't ingest its output, don't want to do the work necessary to implement it, and on a recent roadmap review listed its function as their absolute last priority. I am not sure whether there's been a change in management, or some salesperson talked really fast, or what.

I am trying to appreciate this as 'salary for nothing' and use the time to study for other things but it turns out that for me this is an anxiety-inducing and unhappy experience.

It's worth pointing out how different (and better) Jedi Knight's morality system is from the "Bethesda model", in which you play as good/bad but at the end of the game, it doesn't matter and you get to make the Big Moral Choice (purify the water or POISON EVERYONE?).

In JK you are never asked explicitly, "Do you want to do a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?". After a boss fight, you can choose to kill your opponent, or not. Those civilians running around sometimes drop health packs or ammo when they die, so maybe you kill them, or you don't. Dark side force powers are awesome, and don't require ammo to work, so maybe you put a few points into them. Then, at about 3/4 through the game, it doesn't ask if you want to be a light or dark Jedi, it tells you what kind of Jedi you were all along. You get to the point where you might expect the game to offer you a Big Choice, but instead, it points out that you already made your choice when you weren't paying attention.
In general I can understand the quote

> I feel like in real life, that's how things work. People mostly accept the brutality of the society they find themselves in, because its normal.

For something like modern day police brutality, sure, most people aren't active advocates.

However, I think that really understates the level of brutality in The Fifth Season. The main characters are the oppressed people, like Jewish people during the Holocaust or Black people under Southern-slavery levels of oppressed. Yet there appears to be absolutely 0 mention of resistance fighters or an underground railroad. There appears to be 0 active resistance anywhere, even beyond the main characters. No protests, no riots, no terrorist attacks, no one even suggesting that maybe outright eugenics and genocide is a bad idea and then getting disappeared. It doesn't have to be the main characters getting involved, just a rumor that someone somewhere is doing something. If someone punched me in the face, I wouldn't let them get away with it and then punch myself a couple extra times for good measure.
