Perhaps, you should take a more critical look at your sources.

Look at this NYT article, for example: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/world/europe/russia-ukrai...

See the big picture at the top? Clearly it's some kind of mall damaged by senseless and cruel Russian strike that cannot have any other purpose but to terrorize population of Kharkiv into submission.

The place should look familiar, only now you can see destroyed MLRS vehicle (there were two, but the second one got evaporated: https://t.me/aleksandr_skif/3150), the likes of which were used to fire at the center of the Russian city Belgorod. Here is one of the top Ukrainian propagandists posting in his personal channel a video from Belgorod that shows wounded Russian women screaming and thrashing in agony (the text reads "Happy New Year, bitches"): https://t.me/dmytrogordon_official/39688

And one more video from Russian city of Belgorod: https://t.me/zhest_belgorod/41262
I wonder if they have a clear hardware separation between each of the API, ChatGPT, their lower-scale experiments and their large scale (e.g. GPT5) training hardware. Or is everything just a big blob of hardware, that dynamically gets allocated to jobs depending on demand?

Hardware demand is so high, having GPUs idling is a massive waste, but you also want to have separation between dev, test and prod environments, so not obvious what to do.
Figma is popular in spite of this. It's my number one frustration. Actually being able to link someone to a specific view is nigh impossible to do consistently.
> GPS was launched in 1978,

I would like to point out the insanely good design of the GPS radio layer (the L1+L2 signals).

Even 46 years on, the radio layer is fully forwards and backwards compatible, and a bunch of important metrics like time to first fix and user equivalent range errors have both improved by factors of 10-1000, with no incompatible change needed to the protocol.

The total RF transmit power to provide service to the whole earth is less than the electricity consumption of a typical US house (far less than 5G or TV or AM/FM radio), and well below the noise floor. That's possible due to clever use of stacked gold codes.

The design has allowed frequency-sharing with competing systems (eg. Galileo) - you don't see mobile phone networks doing that!

The actual signal sent has allowed things like carrier phase decoding, due to the locking of the phase between the modulated data and the carrier, which in turn gives far better pseudoranges and accuracy.

Overall, the designers either had incredible forethought, or incredible luck, or some combination of the two.

In all seriousness, it would be great if it worked out, but we are constantly seeing marine tech being messed up by the marine environment.

There's a reason that every damn thing that has "Marine" in its title, costs ten times as much.

Indeed Americans are even worse than Europeans in "(dis)missing the rest of the planet". Have no idea how selective the default is on the other side of the planet, though I can only hope it is _less so_.

Inventions and discoveries sounds as something as close to "objective" as we can get. Cultural would be interesting, but I believe more heavily dependent on the author of the comparison than the achievements.

I'm rather bemused by this, as it's targeting a subset of Turbo Pascal 5.5 while emulating the Turbo Pascal 1.0 UI. I used Turbo Pascal 1.0 on CP/M-80, and Turbo Pascal 1.0 through 4.0 (or thereabouts) on DOS (and UCSD Pascal on three different systems before that), and it's fascinating looking back at it how the notion of the "IDE" developed an expanded over that time.

The IDE shown here is, as I say, pretty much the Turbo Pascal 1.0 IDE...and it truly was an IDE. Being able to run your code with a keystroke or two—and then to see your next syntax error in the editor—it was mindblowing.
It appears that some of this was designed in the late 90s/early aughts, when Windows didn't have a cryptographically-secure random number generator.

PuTTY carries its own formats from this time.
It doesnt matter how big it is, it's properties dont change. eg., it never says, "I like what you're wearing" because it likes what I'm wearing.

It seems there's an entire generation of people taken-in by this word, "complexity" and it's just magic sauce that gets sprinkled over ad-copy for big tech.

We know what it means to compute P(word|words), we know what it means that P("the sun is hot") > P("the sun is cold") ... and we know that by computing this, you arent actaully modelling the temperature of the sun.

It's just so disheartening how everyone becomes so anthropomorphically credulous here... can we not even get sun worship out of tech? Is it not possible for people to understand that conditional probability structures do not model mental states?

No model of conditional probabilities over text tokens, no matter how many text tokens it models, ever says, "the weather is nice in august" because it means the weather is nice in august. It has never been in an august; or in weahter; nor does it have the mental states for preference, desire.. nor has it's text generation been caused by the august weather.

This is extremely obvious, as in, simply refelect on why the people who wrote those historical text did so.. and reflect on why an LLM generates this text... and you can see that even if an LLM produced word-for-word MLK's I have a dream speech, it does not have a dream. It has not suffered any oppression; nor organised any labour; nor made demands on the moral conscience of the public.

This shouldnt need to be said to a crowd who can presumably understand what it means to take a distribution of text tokens and subset them. It doesnt matter how complex the weight structure of an NN is: this tells you only how compressed the conditional probability distribution is over many TBs of all of text history.

My anecdote:

I assume I have fairly severe tinnitus at this point. It was in part exposure to loud noises over the years (military), but I think chemotherapy really did me in the past year as tinnitus has become more bothersome than ever; caveat I tend to register and take interest in anything physical after cancer.

Its a constant beaming sound - I hear it right now. I can go most of the day distracting away from it, but there is no great aid or distraction when trying to go to sleep.

The closest solution has been trying to cancel it out with mobile apps that allow to you build custom frequencies (white noise generators) but they aren't perfect its not something I really have been able to become accustomed to using.

Are these newly found rare cells a missing link in color perception?
60w back then would be a CO2 LASER - that's 10600nm and that basically bounces off any non-oxidized metal.

The fiber marking LASERs at work are 1064nm, and at a mere 20w output, will absolutely eat away at steel with no problems.

Edit: I should note there are CO2 metal cutting LASERs, but they are at very, very high output powers to overcome that reflectivity barrier. You need 500w 10600nm to cut through what a 30w 1064nm could cut. My 80w CO2 barely cuts through heavy-duty aluminum foil, and in many spots it isn't a full cut. A 20w marking LASER at 1064 would obliterate the foil.
That's not true, and stems from mistakenly thinking of electricity as a fluid instead of working through the math of the laws of electrodynamics themselves.

With AC, there is no net current anyway - nothing physical is being transmitted any substantive difference. The actual electrons travel on the order of 0.2 microns per 60Hz cycle, and then move back the other way. [1]

In reality, in the absence of fundamental electric components like resistors/capacitors/transformers, all points of a circuit have the same voltage and same current. The transmission lines are just connecting different cities into the same circuit, there's nothing flowing between them. This allows your solar array in the Mojave Desert to power your data center on the Columbia River, but there aren't fewer electrons traveling between them just because you also have a hydro power plant on the Dalles. The load from all devices on the grid is shared across all generation sources.

I felt this as someone who grew up religious.

It was until this year that I properly internalized that the universe does not give a shit whether “human race survives”, or Earth survives. Or anything survives. Heat death of universe is slow but inevitable. The universe is merely a bunch of elementary particles interacting with each other via force fields. It has no ulterior motive.

All Gods are human made Gods to give us meaning.

However as a human, our experience and feelings is the ultimate personal truth. We are the hero of our own story. We have some other characters and everyone else is a NPC.

We are here because our parents survived to have us, and their parents to have our parents and ongoing for millions of generations.

Nature selects those who survive to reproduce. Human desire has been shaped by evolution. Anyone not passing on their genes, has their gene-line terminated. Those that remain preserve certain behaviors.

If there is some eternal meaning - it is selection. To survive, procreate and proliferate until the heat death of universe.

We were not built to enjoy. We were built to be paranoid and feel we can do more, be more, have more. In the hope it leads to better survival.

However dopamine - the reward molecule can be hacked.Orgasms give the highest natural release. Now most of humanity gets dopamine kicks from Porn, social media, sugar, fast food, drugs.

We are dopamine driven beings.

> Reddit mods do an estimated $3.4 Million in labor
all for free each year. Reddit likely can't afford such a bill

Their revenue was $804 million. It's not a huge amount for them. They'd just rather not pay it.
There are a lot of assumptions taken for granted in there. But sure, less technology is not the real goal, that's not a good way to phrase it, good point.

I suppose the better way to say it would be that the goal is less energy use and lower quality of life. But the important part is that nobody who is pushing that sort of cutback from a position of power actually buys what they're selling. They just want the lesser people below them to buy it. As for why they want that, I'm not sure.

This goes to show how prestige and reputation built up over centuries can be destroyed in a matter of decades.

Also the prestige and reputation of institutions rest solely on the superstars that are in that institution. A single prominent scientist can carry the prestige of an entire institute. This means when they leave, the reputation goes with it.
The article says there are three ways to power it. The ATX power supply connector, a DC barrel jack, and some third way not specified.

It occurs to me that anti-semitism is a disease that ultimately destroys its host.

If Germany "simply" wanted to win WW2, it should have cultivated its Jewish scientists (and by the way, 100K Jewish soldiers served their country in WW1) instead of eradicating them as per this article. Not to mention, diverting scarce wartime resources towards the program of concentration camps and ethnic extermination is not just pure evil - but strategically stupid.

It seems very clear that Hitler and his friends hated the Jews more than they wished for some positive outcome for Germany. This pattern repeats throughout history including in the modern day.

Ultimately, once you start optimizing for your hatred vs your love (of your own people, for example) you're going to make decisions that doom you.
Commenting on this a bit late, but in case anyone reads this later too:

UUIDv7 support unfortunately didn't make it to Postgres 17, since the RFC wasn't completely finalized yet by the time of feature freeze (April 8), see discussion on pgsql-hackers:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/ZhzFQxU0t0xk9mA_%...

So I guess we'll unfortunately have to rely on extensions or client-side generation for the time being, until Postgres 18.
I actually pitched this idea as a project for students on an MSc EE course a friend runs. Sadly none of the students picked it but we looked at it in some detail and it’s so simple that even the dev boards +battery + mic array could have been made pretty small (according to him anyway). I really hope someone with the hardware chops fancies scratching the itch!
> First and foremost, if you use any services online that have two-factor authentication, be sure it is not SMS-based. Use an app like Google Authenticator or Authy for this purpose instead.

It really disappointing that in 2024, this is the "right" guidance to give, but we still know there's a whole lot of really important stuff that still uses SMS for 2-factor authentication.

Wikipedia says this type of propeller is widely used on tugs, so I guess the ABB product is either just their own version of this tech (maybe a patent expired) or they have evolved it somehow, maybe to increase efficiency depending on how you interpret the article.

The problem is that 521 > 512, not that they used modulo. To get a sufficiently large nonce out of the hash, you need to think in terms of expanding the number of bits, not reducing it.

I built a toy app using this, with a front-end only app and postgrest + RBS. The app was seriously two forms behind a login. It was a huge pain.

RBS is "insecure by default" meaning if you don't set it up right, all users can access all data. And, because it's SQL, it's really easy to write a valid and successful configuration that doesn't work. You have to test it. And for views, you have to do some real heroics to get them to respect RBS.

PostGREST is very very basic and far less powerful than just writing SQL. I found it pretty frustrating to use, knowing that SQL would be far simpler.

Yes, I know that I could make a direct SQL connection to the database, but at that point, it would've been easier to put a Rails app on Heroku and use their offering, which is far more mature.

The Supabase dev environment was pretty slick and worked well, though I had to docker implode a couple times.

I wish them luck, but I could not figure out what the use case was for their product, given that Heroku has an awesome managed Postgres and RDS is there if you have more knowledge and want more controls. I don't see how you could make a complex app that is front-end only with Supabase as your entire back-end.
Or where it's mixed; where some may be GPL-only but yours can't be used unless you agree to another clause, etc.

However, it's pretty obvious the intent whatever the wording and machinations may be.
"The graded space for the rails already exists, and that is arguably the hardest part of building a railway."

It's way easier to build this sort of thing new than it is to refurbish it and certify it as safe. Less costly, too.

Article states: "a railroad was constructed to shuttle passengers and redwood logs between San Francisco and Humboldt Bay."

So a key question is: are there a lot of people trying to move between SF and Humboldt Bay? Does the carbon from transportation along this line warrant the renovation of the rail line (which itself produces emissions)? And if you build a train and no one rides that train, then that's probably even worse for emissions.

Half the time, even if a service supports autheticator app 2FA and not just sms, all it takes is just clicking “use another method” on the 2FA page, and it defaults to sms-based 2FA anyway. And it would still require a phone number when registering, so there is no way to avoid that fallback anyway. Borderline useless.

One aspect of this that fascinated me is Nazi Germany's "physics denialism" (?) — the reactionary response to the modern physics revolutions of the early 20th century. (I.e. the twin revolutions of quantum physics and of relativity). It was a much weirder response than simply an attack on physicists who happened to be Jewish humans. Fields of physics were conspiratorially labelled as having a "Jewish" character, and dismissed as psuedoscience, as pathological science: "Jüdische Physik". There was a fanaticism that's hard to grapple with philosophically, a thing that's far outside rationality, a magical thinking. How much more "magical" can you get than disregarding natural physical laws, and substituting your own? That's the definition of magic.
