Individuals should have financial privacy, but corporations are not people (fight me). Trying to equate individual liberties with those corporations is a massive source of societal issues but shills keep advocating for it because it's very much in the corporations interests to have those rights, which when wielded by an entity with such vast resources, puts said entity on a very uneven playing field with any actual humans. As such, we need to level that playing field.

Indeed. I don’t think people understand what a Registered Agent is.

Basically it’s a requirement to have someone available as a point of contact for the LLC - typically name, phone and address for mail. This is to ensure that should the LLC need to be contacted, someone is available.

It can be a hassle if you list the owner or an employee as people come and go and companies can be bought and sold. You can list the owner, but it is there responsibility to make sure it’s constantly up to date.

Registered Agents offer a service to act as the Agent on behalf of someone else. The Registered Agent will make sure the phone and address is always up to date and there is always someone on the other end to respond.

It’s basically a “go between” as a service.

So why would anyone be surprised that 40,000+ businesses all use the same agent?
I would think that FOSS projects, as self-governing autonomous entities, are closer to worker-owned co-ops (which unions aren’t, but are in theory working towards) than they are to faceless corporations governed by diktat with the vast majority of employees holding a pittance of diluted shares.
I started fine-tuning GPT-3.5 on a decently large corpus of my text messages and emails, and it pretty much generated schizophrenic output. I don’t think I did a very good job of curating the text that ended up fine-tuning, and I want to try again.
It's not akin to that at all. External recruiters are typically paid for placement (i.e. they get a commission paid on a hired employee after they're hired, typically 20–30% of base salary). There are good ones, but a non-trivial portion are just cold-email spamming everyone whose LinkedIn profile looks even remotely like it might match the jobs they're recruiting for and forwarding on anyone who replies.

For a company/hiring manager, one great candidate a month is far more valuable than a few dozen ones who aren't even close to matching the role. They're not saying "do the work for us", they're saying "if you want us to take your sourcing seriously, send us quality, not quantity."

Moritz, the author of that improvement, implemented the same for jpegli.

I believe the standard does not specify what the intermediate progressive renderings should look like.

I developed that interpolation mechanism originally for Pik, and Moritz was able to formulate it directly in the DCT space so that we don't need to go into pixels for the smoothing to happen, but he computed it using a few of the low frequency DCT coefficients.
> argument was that the drug problem was caused by prohibition

To be fair, Oregon never reached the point of legal sales channels for drugs. Drug users still had to purchase drugs from a dealer. Their supply chains were the same as in other states.

Actual legalisation would establish a legal purchase channel. That would come with quality controls, et cetera.

It sounds like you want RAG instead of training or even fine tuning a model.

Have you looked into the OpenAI APIs? They make it relatively easy to do assuming you have some limited programming knowledge.
It doesnt affect L. Ontario for at least two reasons:

1. L. Ontario is absolutely massive.

2. L. Ontario would be heated far more by the heat dumped into it by the otherwise displaced electrical generation.

Furthermore, the water return, as I understand it, is in shallow waters. Therefore the deep waters are largely unaffected and surface waters are locally cooled.
Hey, thanks for trying out!

Maybe flamebait, but here is my honest opinion, which I believe is aligned with the hacker ethos: maybe if you were using an open-source operating system you could, with a little experience, write a simple tool that deletes a couple files without allocating new metadata. (Or more likely, somebody else would have been there before you and you could just use their tool.)

The members have launched various unicorn companies raising over $200 million and employing more than a thousand people."
We are further from peaceful coexistence and a two-state solution, but Hamas don't want that. They are, in my loosely held opinion, slightly closer to their actual revisionist objective, which is the annihilation of Israel. The sequence of events that causes this outcome are black swans, that have now increased in likelihood. For example, Sisi's regime being toppled in a populist uprising, leading to a situation where you have a Hamas-but-way-bigger regime that didn't have to exist. Or Gen Z and Gen Alpha's political influence in the US removing the diplomatic shield at the UN opening the way for sanctions, which inhibits Israel's ability to import key materials that power their defense industry. The relevant timescale is decades, where broad demographic trends dominate outcomes. Alliances of the moment and economic dominance are both fickle and change with the sands of time.

I will agree with you that there is a path forward where you are correct. Maybe Israel repeats what Russia did in Grozny. Hamas is defeated. Gaza is then rebuilt. Tensions then go down. It's possible.
the problem here is that most companies are wrappers around inner companies.
How would the OD rate go up? I'd say that most overdoses are caused by people not knowing exactly what they're taking. The pathological case being someone buying pills they expect to contain no opioids, but yet still ending up being cut with fentanyl because it's cheap to smuggle and provides a stand-in psychoactive effect.

Also I don't see why there needs to be leverage over users to enforce laws against dealers. Does buying food need to be illegal in order for the government to regulate food safety? Of course those laws for dealers need to be sensible like only selling pills made with Good Manufacturing Practices and other quality control, otherwise we're right back to draconian prohibition.

It's reasonable to view Palestine as a nation and it's reasonable to look at what's going on and see forced starvation of a nation coupled to, as we are discussing here, cruelly relaxed standards for enemy combatants that make a mockery of international law and are de facto indiscriminate by any standard. Sneering about agendas is distasteful in this context. Vast majority of us aren't really keeping score or trying to advance anything at all, just horrified, as horrified as we were by 10/7, while 10% hurl insults at each other and lash out at anything anyone else says.

>It isn't necessary to destroy Hamas with violence

It isn't possible to destroy Hamas with violence, or apartheid for that matter. Israel has created hatred towards themselves that will last for generations, even if they could kill every last Hamas member, they've made damn sure that a subset of Palestinian (if not broader) youth will reorganize a militia and the cycle of violence will go on.
Sharing a free spreadsheet (excel or google sheets available) which shows the following:

- Your total income, expenses, and savings over any time period

- A month-by-month trending view of your finances

- Breakdowns into individual categories — i.e., how much of your total spending came from rent, eating out, groceries, car payment, etc.

- Comparisons of your spending and income against your personal budget targets

- Comparison of one time period vs. another (e.g., 2023 vs 2022 spending by category)

My own personal approach is to download my bank transactions every 1-2 months (in CSV format) and then paste into this sheet. Takes less than hour to update and analyse the results.
The government traditionally invests in such areas of public good.

Yeah, your main recommendation may be to commit to finish the courses I start, I know.

Based on what you wrote, my recommendation is: find something you’re actually interested in, and learn that instead. AI ain’t it. And if there’s nothing you’ve interested in enough to put an effort into, that’s ok too. Have a beer, watch some Netflix, be like most people.

Hope this helps.
> In the same way it would sound pretty insensitive to call someone "cancerous" rather than say they have cancer, it also dehumanizes someone to call them obese, said Joe Nadglowski

... What? No, it's because "cancerous" means behaves like cancer. It doesn't make lexical sense to call a patient "cancerous" unless they themselves are somehow growing and multiplying rapidly, consuming the hospital that hosts them.

Unlike that example, rearranging the usage of adjectives like "obese" does not change the actual meaning at all. "Joe is a blue-eyed, left-handed, obese, mild-mannered man" does not imply that Joe is defined by his obesity any more than he is defined his mild manners, his blue eyes, or his left-handedness. Changing that sentence to "Joe is a man with blue eyes, left-handedness, obesity, and mild manners" is just exactly the same.

Movements to enforce language usage changes like this are usually well-intentioned and can sometimes have positive impacts. But equally often they merely spread needless anxiety among English-as-a-second-language learners, while creating an unnecessary divide between those who get the memo early and those who get it late, with the former group perceiving and accusing the latter of deliberate offense and insensitivity where in fact none was intended.
The west isn't that rich anymore - I think it's mostly an artifact from only taking western things into account. The numbers would look very different if the methods weren't biased.

With guetzli I added manually overprovisioning for slow smooth gradients. If you have an example where guetzli is better with gradients you could post an issue with a sample image. That would help us to potentially fix it for jpegli, too.
Not OP, but I am a radiologist, and that 3T image is not representative of a state-of-the-art clinical scanner. The 11.7T does have extremely high spatial resolution but contrast resolution is compromised.

As others have said the clinical utility of >3T is very dubious, and most real world MR advances in the last 5 years have been AI (DL/ML not generative) reconstruction for lower field strengths.

That high a field strength has significant safety concerns, particularly for implants and pacemakers etc.

I've been working on a small personal project similar to this and agree that replicating the overall experience provided by Perplexity.ai, or even improving it for personal use, isn't that challenging.
(The concerns of scale or cost are less significant in personal projects. Perplexity doesn't do too much planning or query expansion, nor does it dig super deep into the sources afaik)

I must say, though, that they are doing a commendable job integrating sources like YouTube and Reddit. These platforms benefit from special preprocessing and indeed add value.
Its not that exciting, really. They're just running the pumps fast.

The system has the ability to absorb:

H2o_heat_capacity*mass flow rate * delta(T) = cooling_power.

The first term is know and very large. The last term is determined by the number of users and is estimated with forcast usage models. Ask an Env Eng a desired delta(T) and you get the mass flow rate required.
Time travel. It's very expensive to move electricity into the future. Batteries are very cheap when you look at dollars per watt of onboarding/offboarding the one way time machine, but when you look at it dollars per Wh it does not look as rosy anymore. Still worthwhile for short hops. But for longer trips, you want to look at $/Whh and then batteries are atrociously expensive. Seasons are a thing and time travel is hard, even if it's only one way.

Well, that is any modern (or even pre-modern) nation-state too, vying for control over land and resources.
