I hadn’t seen that. It uses a pi so in principle it could sync the time the same way. How well related to localizable recordings would also depend on how it establishes the actual time arrival with the clock and how it deals with jitter.

Currently I only support USB mics at 16 bits that can talk to jackd. This was a conscious decision because it was all that was needed but also because jacks makes it essentially have multiple source sinks. Such as as well as recording a real time audio processing pipeline that potentially leads to real time gunshot and other sound event localization.

But it would be cool if the infrasound sensor had a USB sound interface. As then it could be useful in localizing elephants.

I agree with you. I only stated how the crawlers seem to work, if you read their pages or try to block/slow down them it seems clear that they scan-first-respect-after. But somehow people understood that I approve that behaviour.

For those bad crawlers, which I very much disapprove, "not respecting robots.txt" equals "don't even read robots.txt, or if I read it ignore it completely". For them, "respecting robots.txt" means "scan the page for potential links, and after that parse and respect robots.txt". Which I disapprove and don't condone.
As with many things, it all goes back to building houses. Funny how many social maluses could be fixed by a building spree.
This is awesome! Presumably you can make this work with any interface that doesn't enforce the total internal reflectivity of a fiber optic cable, and therefore allows light to leak out. Instead of an air gap, have you tried experimenting with removing the cladding of the fiber optic cable, but keeping the core intact?

Alteratively, could you use a short segment of colored cladding that allows certain wavelengths to leak out more than others? I think that would allow you to encode each bend point as a different color-- which might require a different (more expensive) rx sensor, but could be useful for certain applications.

Unironically, you should write scripts for the museum tour guy. While it has been a long time since I've come across one, I recall not being able to pay attention either because they're observations were apparent at surface-level or because they assume we're all pHD students.

Best place to start is to just personalize it. With certainty that someone chose to portray what appears on the frescoes in front of you over numerous possible alternatives. Now ask yourselves why. Notice the lack of romantic portrayals of Hector or Achilles charging into battle like you'd find on posters of anime or modern subject matter.

It just seems like such a perfect way to get through to teenagers like I once was that really couldn't imagine the people that owned the frescoes as anything more than abstractions I'd associate with middle school Social Studies.

I wonder how much dependencies could be reduced by systematically searching low-hanging fruit and addressing it ad hoc. For example, if commonly-used library A uses one minor thing from (and thus imports all of) library B, which in turn imports hundreds of other libraries, then someone should add the minor thing in question to A and remove the dependency on B there.

It's interesting to think of how this sort of "neighborhood watch" could be incentivized, since it's probably way too big of a task for purely volunteer work. It's tricky though because any incentive to remove dependencies would automatically be a perverse incentive to ADD dependencies (so that you can later remove them and get the credit for it).
So rad!

I've wondered if one could train a LLM on a closed set of curated knowledge. Then include training data that models the behaviour of not knowing. To the point that it could generalize to being able to represent its own not knowing.

Because expecting a behaviour, like knowing you don't know, that isn't represented in the training set is silly.

Kids make stuff up at first, then we correct them - so they have a way to learn not to.
There's a lot more to this issue than school funding, but teaching as a profession should pay for a solid middle class life to attract the best talent. Could we at least agree on that?
> using only Psy-Q API documentation as a reference

Doesn't that mean it's not clean room? Since even having those docs in the first place would not be legal?

I've seen others claim that clean room can only be an option if development was done without any input from anyone who has even read their docs, not just whether you have yourself or not.

For example in the N64 world some might say development is forever tainted because it's almost impossible to get information that wasn't sourced somehow ultimately from the oman dump.
Not Llama, they’ve been really clear about that. Especially with DMA cross-joining provisions and various privacy requirements it’s really hard for them, same for Google.

However this doesn't mean China's GDP will get back to fast growth. Its economy is constrained by demand, not supply. Anyone who has experience with Chinese elders would know how thrifty they are no matter how much wealth they have.

From a September 2023 article in The Verge:

In a 2015 presentation to investors, the Elon Musk-founded company initially predicted that Starlink would make $12 billion and $7 billion in operating profit in 2022. SpaceX also projected the division would have 20 million subscribers by the end of 2022, the presentation reveals. Instead, by the end of last year, Starlink only had over 1 million active subscribers. By May 2023, the company reported it had about 1.5 million users; however, CNBC reports Hofeller stated it’s now “well over” that mark.

The same article says WSJ says 2022 revenue was $1.4 billion. It doesn't break out terminal sales from subscriptions. But, roughly, that works out to $3.6 billion gross for 2.6 million subs.

The End of Hopin
A few may know, that google scholar(https://scholar.google.com/) does not offer a feature for arranging the search results based on the number of citations.

Several years ago, one developer published a Python code (https://github.com/WittmannF/sort-google-scholar) to handle this.

I had been inspired by his work, but I wanted to show the list of publications on a web browser, rather than a Windows/Linux terminal or CSV file.

So, I've implemented the web app version for querying the 100 most-cited academic papers including some keywords (e.g., deep learning), published in a certain range of years.

The linked project provides a simple and straightforward UI for its goal, though it has a daily request limit issue due to Google 'Recaptcha' (a bot detector).

Probably, It still has a long way to go (first I need to solve the Recaptcha issue). I appreciate receiving any feedback on my work.

I'm not sure how to interpret "keep people honest", but you should know that most crime statistics show downturns during economic slowdowns, for similar reasons as the article. People stay home more. Most crime seems to be crimes of convenience, and if you don't see the thing to steal/murder, then you don't steal/murder. I strongly suspect this is partly why premeditated crime tends to be dealt with more harshly.

That’s such the point. You’ve got one of the core issues about what is going articulated perfectly.

The problem is that the manufacturers are incentivized to build them with high repair costs based on how they make money… they make a ton from parts. And there are massive changes forecast for the parts market.

If you really want to dig in, and you may know all of this already, this is a great article outlining the transition currently happening for tier1 parts suppliers:

https://www.bcg.com/publications/2023/growth-strategy-tier-o...

All of these changes are coming out in the insurance industry, but the insurance industry is constrained by what insurance commissioners will allow, and of course there’s the point you are making at core — they’re not making parts affordable because it’s become a profit center for them. A lot of money is now being made in the backend as companies optimize their supply chains for BEVs.

Take a look at the New Strategies section of that article.

To be honest I don't. Of course documentation takes effort, which some projects won't spend, but most stuff I have to deal with has high effort docs.

There's something to be said for genre-codifying releases, even if they didn't straight up invent the genre.

The issue is that the GP of your reply used the words "Slay the Spire invented the entire genre" which is simply not true. If they said "Slay the Spire popularized the genre" there wouldn't be a problem.

I think we as a society have this problem in general: giving too much credit to famous people/things and burying/diminishing that which influenced those people/their creators. Doubly relevant in this case because this entire discussion thread started with someone not properly giving credit to StS for influencing Balatro.

Slay the Spire is pretty clearly influenced by Dream Quest [1], a rather obscure game which does not even have its own website, just a fandom wiki page.

Edit: here's a fun Reddit post where a Dream Quest fan talks about the release of Slay the Spire [2].

As I understand it, they don't have the capability to essentially PCAP all that data.. and the data wouldn't be that useful since most interesting traffic is encrypted as well. Instead they store the metadata around the traffic. Phone number X made an outgoing call to Y @ timestamp A, call ended at timestamp B, approximate location is Z, etc. Repeat that for internet IP addresses do some analysis and then you can build a pretty interesting web of connections and how they interact.

The first chapter of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations also covers some of this. Specifically I remember the clipping topic, and then landlords weighing payments to protect themselves from clipping.
I suspect this is going to be a disagreement on the meaning of "to know".

On the same lines as why people argue if a tree falling in a wood where nobody can hear it makes sound because some people implicitly regard sound is the qualia while others regard it as the vibrations in the air.
I mean, you’re not wrong. I’ve been building some unrelated web search tech and have considered just indexing all the sites I can about and making my own “non shit” search engine.

FYI, I am in a hardware field and the companies I'm aware of (having had direct discussions with on CTO or senior engineer level) largely did patents to have something tangible to justify R&D to investors and financial analysts. They would never put know how that they considered crucial into a patent and considered patent litigation pretty worthless, especially against direct competitors, as they knew that everyone was violating everyone else's patents, because everyone working in the field comes up with the same solutions (so much for patents being non obvious to a subject expert).
It wasn’t a historical accident that triangles came before coordinates. Coordinates are more abstract than triangles quite generically for humans. (When we teach children numbers, we start with the natural numbers and then later introduce negative numbers.)

I claim it’s only because you and I have internalized them so well that they both seem intuitive, which is what allows you to prefer the coordinates approach due to its greater generality to negative angles.

In any case, as another commenter said, I think you basically agree with the author’s main point and are disagreeing with a minor point (which is to some extent a manner of taste).
The VC investors don't need a startup that accurately predicts its odds, because most startups fail. So what they need are starry-eyed kids who have a distorted view of their chances of success, and in the small chance that they actually succeed beyond anyone else's wildest dreams (but within expectation of the distorted perspective -- which is the only way you can continue executing without being overwhelmed), the VC reaps the profits.

It also invites the mistaken judgement that LLM-derived architecture cannot possibly give human level reasoning.

"No matter what you do to an LLM it's still a stochastic parrot."

Adding memory? Nope.

Interactive hypothesis testing and iterative experiments? Sounds like something a parrot would say.

It can automatically solve 12% of GitHub issues? Pfft, I could theoretically do 100%. If I wasn't incredibly busy...

It's okay though. At this point, when someone cites Lecun to prove LLMs can never reason, we can safely assume they don't care about having an informed opinion. It's a screening signal. It tells us someone does not have a useful theory of mind and reasoning, and does not intend to do constructive work on AI systems that can reason.
Everyone lionizes the 1900s as this massive period of innovation. Part of the way we got here is by INVALIDATING PATENTS

When the world beat Germany (twice), part of the reparations for the world wars was basically invalidating most of Germany's intellectual property. The second world war we went above that and basically claimed human beings who were working on that intellectual property.

When America was struggling to get useful radar to work, the British brought us the cavity magnetron, and the US was able to utterly industrialize that into a million allied radar systems. When the US thought jet engines were a dead end fuel hungry fad, the Brits showed us theirs, which was way more advanced and helped the US get on the right track for future development.

When everyone was basically inventing computers as a real thing, the allies benefited greatly from massive cross-pollination, including people who are now considered grandfathers of modern computing literally meeting in a train station and chatting about the computers they were building which helped them work together to build bigger and better machines.

You don't advance innovation and invention by limiting an idea to the six people working R&D on this specific concept in GE, you advance innovation by letting every smart person and their friend dick around with the concept in freedom.

The entirety of the modern internet is basically built on this fact, and moved so damn fast, yet people will STILL insist "no, to encourage innovation you have to not let people innovate!"
