The reason NASA invests so much in hardened components and redundancy is that their hardware has to continue functioning in an environment where humans cannot intervene.

The availability of commodity hardware is one of the reasons projects like the Recovery Kit can exist. Redundancy and durability can be measured in multiple ways, and I suspect it's cheaper to keep on hand a stack of backup components that can easily be swapped out than to invest the time, energy and money on a more bespoke hardened solution that can't easily be replicated and would put this project out of reach for many people trying to replicate it.

The goal of "Ruggedized Raspberry Pi" seems to have been met quite well, IMO.

Ring Attention Explained – Unlocking Near Infinite Context Window

Can I keep my green card if I am not working and traveling abroad (tourism), for the majority of a year?
Interesting. I understood it immediately, but I'm a pretty smart guy and can comprehend things without them being explicit, so I asked Claude.ai to see if it could do it.

> Prompt: I saw a headline titled "Ford's Battery Flagship Socked by Mold Sickness, Workers Say". What do they mean by "flagship", a literal ship?

> Claude Opus: No, in this context, "flagship" is not referring to a literal ship. In business and marketing, the term "flagship" is often used to describe the most important or leading product, location, or division of a company.

> In the headline you mentioned, "Ford's Battery Flagship" likely refers to the company's primary or most advanced battery manufacturing facility or division. This facility or division is considered the "flagship" because it plays a crucial role in Ford's strategy to develop and produce batteries for their electric vehicles.

> So, when the headline states that the "Battery Flagship" is "Socked by Mold Sickness," it means that this important battery facility is facing issues related to mold growth, which is reportedly causing health problems for the workers.

But Claude Opus is a remarkable LLM. Very powerful. Mixtral 8x7B quantized down to 4 bits is also a remarkable LLM, but much smaller and runs on my laptop. I gave it the same prompt.

> Mixtral 8x7b: "Flagship" in this context refers to the main facility or center of operation for a certain activity or product. In this case, it refers to Ford's main battery production plant.

That was generated in 1.2 s. Not bad. Checking the actual article, it appears that is what the article is about. In a world-modeling and text-comprehension sense these models appear to beat many human beings on meaning inference in ambiguous contexts. Quite cool! One can imagine a future where humans without this inference skill can use a rapid-response text model to auto-translate things down to their comprehension level.

After all, this entire discussion tree is a discussion about communication breakdown. It would be entirely obviated if these LLMs were placed in the comprehension path. Then we'd be operating at a higher level of discussion: talking about the referent rather than the reference, so to speak!
> truly free is often free for a predator to eat it all and make it closed

That doesn't apply when the word "open" is helping clarify.

A predator making open things closed isn't people asking for the wrong thing and getting egg on their face, it's people not getting what they asked for at all through no fault of their own.

Especially because this same kind of crawling works on a non-open internet.

Your comment misses the point so much it makes me sad! Seeing the pictures of thousands upon thousands of dead bison skulls is honestly astonishing and I think your snide comment "American bad, native good" is extremely reductive of the article, which even points out:

> Such reliance on a narrow ecological base ultimately proved unsustainable, pushing the bison populations into a steep decline by the mid–19th century.

Hence why I specifically said search quality without mentioning a large userbase...

Did you not see the last part on your end?

Plus, if anything a small userbase makes it more difficult for quality search because the long tail is still effectively infinitely large, relative to the competencies of a single decision maker, but now there is only have one user searching for any random super niche topic maybe once a month, in total.

So they can't even a/b test or rely on customers reporting in on the real situation because it is too sparse.
Since Obama federalized the student loan system, 92% of student loans are federal. So there’s no meaningful difference between default and loan forgiveness—it’s the public’s money either way. And the government will never impose creditworthiness checks on borrowers.
I think this is the quote that is most relevant

> En kombinert stålbjelkebru med betongdekke var mulig, men ble utelukket på grunn av estetikken og begrensningene i veigeometrien under og på brua.

which states that aesthetics and road geometry together ruled out a combined steel and concrete bridge.

there's also:

> Artikkelen beskriver avslutningsvis at det i pre-designfasen var flere retningslinjer knyttet til utformingen av brua. Videre står det at teamet som prosjekterte brua ble påvirket av andre prosjekter på den aktuelle tiden, og at Oppland fylke var et skogsbruksfylke der tre har vært et viktig byggemateriale.
Dette, kombinert med fordelene av det lette dekket, medførte at en trebru
var det beste alternativet. Kombinasjonen av tre og stål gjorde det også mulig å utforme brua som ønsket, uten ekstra avstivning ved aksene.

But in the end the above just amounts to "they could have built a conventional bridge but wanted something prettier": basically aesthetics contributed to the collapse because it was the primary reason they built something novel.

Had there instead been some site specific geometry that forced a novel solution, one wonders if they had blamed that...

It presupposes a false _dichotomy_, one that misunderstands the nature of beauty. A building's beauty will in large part be a matter of its _function_. It it not just a matter of decoration, which is important, but does not exhaust the aesthetic concerns of an architect.

The Pantheon in Rome is an especially nice sign of contradiction, but it is hardly alone.

We are human beings, not some consumerist homo economicus that exists merely to eat, shit, drink, and copulate and in a bestial manner. Let us care about the beauty of our environment. This can be done even within means. Beauty is a transcendental. Those who attack it, or insult it, who denigrate it, who dismiss it are misanthropes and enemies of the entire human race.
I got the same impression - the lack of understanding of the basics of GDPR makes them look as amateurs, not professionals trying to raise the bar for privacy. I was considering using Kagi, but this is a massive turn off.

They'll likely discover that GDPR is not that optional as soon as a customer (or a competitor with a grudge!) reports them to their relevant national privacy/personal data protection authority, after which they'll get to have a very uncomfortable conversation where they will not be able to use those arguments
How fast can CFG-Structured generation be?
The text-to-image model is an important component, but the current model in use is IMO good enough. My view for this project is that the internal monologue is more important than the output, so my wish is instead for a better open-weight LLM.

I'm increasingly convinced that the short and sweet answer is: because they've had a tsar and serfs since the fall of the kievan rus and the establishment of the muscovite power, and nothing has meaningfully changed since that time, except that sometimes the tsar is called "general secretary" and sometimes the serfs are called "comrades".
They start with "I think..." and it isn't very negative, just an opinion. Why the defensive tone? :)

I'm not moving any goalposts, you're saying someone with decades of open source kernel development and a solid reputation is no longer trustworthy because of who now signs that paycheque. That's just nonsense, and has nothing to do with the scenario you posed.
> This sounds like a you problem... If everyone is "mischaracterizing" your statements, then you're not saying what you think you're saying.

It's not everyone though, just the majority, and though what you said could be true depending on circumstances, it isn't guaranteed to be. A sufficiently brainwashed or otherwise narrow minded person is going to skew their comprehension of statements that don't compute from their perspective.

I do agree that it might be worthwhile for me to continue adjusting the presentation to help mitigate this, and I can assure you this process is an ongoing one. Sometimes it's easier said than done in a sea of mixed actors, including bad faith ones. Also even with a perfect wording, sometimes people find it's easier on their cognitive dissonance to just shoot the messenger anyway.

I actually gave Kagi a try the other day because Google has reached the point of total uselessness (a day I thought had come and gone, but I was wrong, it continued to decline) - but actually the search results for the same queries are worse, not that the content is worse, but that it returns the better/more appropriate content further down the page, the actual content is pretty much identical. Am I doing it wrong or does the tsunami of crap on the internet just mean search engines are fucked?
Was a MechE for a decade, but I do software now. Make friends with a design MechE and see if you can tag along for a single new part release. You’ll see the whole process from how the part gets designed and quoted, when it gets to IQC (incoming quality checks), how it get inventoried, added to BOM, pulled for kits during work orders, etc.
The reason I think the first view seems more correct is that it's like downloading a song from spotify. Yes you would think streaming a song from spotify is technologically identitical as downloading it, but legally there is a distinction. If you found a way of ripping a copy of a song from spotify there would be a record company ready to sue you and a law they could use to do it.

It's theoretically true that the models could be trained with someone else's training data, but there's a flaw in that argument. If you can train with other data without these legal issues, why don't they? And the answer is actually because they do assign some value to that training data, and there's not an infinite supply and it's actually quite difficult to get large sets of quality data.

I think it's a pretty open question how this will resolve, it could be like stremaing music where companies like spotify are little more than puppets for the major record labels. It could end up like youtube where the model started with "We're going to steal stuff" and ended up "We're going to strongly enforce copyright now we're the encumbent" or some other third way. But I don't expect the "We're going to take everything with no regard to the existing legal framework" will sustain long term.
False dichotomy. They should be plowing that money into more R&D, or, absent the current ability to do that, saving it for a rainy day.

As a paying customer, I want Kagi to succeed. I want Kagi's search offering to keep improving. Spending a couple hundred thousand of the company's money on t-shirts (one that I would receive, as I was a fairly early customer) sounds foolish to me, regardless of how much the founder is personally invested in the company, and regardless of whether or not he'll invest more of his own money to keep the company growing in the future, if needed.

I'm still bullish on Kagi's future, but things like this (and things mentioned in the linked article as a whole) make me a little worried.

> Would you be upset if they had just donated that excess to charity?

Probably! When I was at Twilio, we participated in GitHub's charity dodgeball tournament a few times (early last decade, I think). The cost of admission was $3000 per team, and would go to charity. After a couple years doing it, finance started getting uncomfortable with it. We were a private, unprofitable company (now Twilio is, of course, a public, unprofitable company), giving away money that our VCs had invested in us.

Initially I rolled my eyes, "just the bean-counters doing what they do best: whining about every bit of spend". But later, looking back, I realized they had a point. While $3000 wasn't a lot of money in the grand scheme of the company, what benefit was spending it actually providing the company? Ok, so 12 or so employees got to go and have a fun day at a rec center, boosting morale for them. We got our logo on the website for the tournament, which was maybe a little visibility/marketing. But was that really worth $3000 of our VC money? Maybe it was, but I don't think it's an obvious "yes".
I used to be an OO hater until I started playing with Smalltalk. In particular, I worked through the Pharo MOOC (https://mooc.pharo.org/), which teaches you exactly this: designing the hierarchy IS designing the control flow of the program.

That said, Smalltalky hierarchies are a nightmare in most other languages because another key part of the Smalltalk env is the tooling -- staying inside a running system and being able to edit code from within the debugger is absolutely great and keeps you in a flow state much better than any other workflow I've been exposed to (including Lisp + Paredit + SLIME). The result is that editing class hierarchies in blub-y OO languages is usually a massive pain in the ass, while doing it in Pharo or a similar Smalltalk env is fun and painless. This is why you can't practically write Smalltalkly in Python/C#/Java/etc. even if on paper they have all or almost all of the same features.
This one weird trick!

Yeah, but that is a decade later, and also ignores the JIT optimizations like devirtualization, or just like C++ templates, using generics for composition.
>it's not about security

The comments here suggest otherwise. It certainly can't provide a security function.

>Assuming you're actually proposing that every possible library is listed in the ELF and loaded before the executable starts by the OS' loader,

I didn't propose that but certainly the ability to load and execute code from anywhere is a vulnerability waiting to happen. Not being able to accurately enumerate dependencies is also an issue. If the OS was solely responsible for locating and loading dependencies, you could analyze any executable in isolation and get a definitive list of dependencies.

>I would encourage you to try writing an AppArmor or seccomp profile that bans `dlopen` and see how many of your favorite applications still run.

Just because it is that way now doesn't mean it needs to be.

>Also, have I really misspoken? I was under the impression that many corporations with interests in proprietary software (including Microsoft) are regular contributors to the Linux kernel and ecosystem, but if I'm wrong I'd love to know the details.

They do make contributions. But large corporations aren't "anyone" and their contributions are not unquestionable. They do have their own interests which are in conflict with the broader open-source ecosystem.

A small puzzle game that I find to be a reasonable pastime. Author has also done rabble.se but that is only in Swedish.
I imagine the answer's ~yes from the perspective of something you build and deploy (and I agree it's relevant to the article--but I'll caveat that I read xamuel to be asking the question very broadly).

Relying on a post-build process to avoid deploying unused code and dependencies still exposes you to a subset of problems with most if not all of the dependency graph.

Sufficiently-rich correct-by-definition metadata on the internal and external dependencies of each package might let you prune some branches without requiring the dependency to be present, but in the broad there are a lot of cases where that can't really help?
Generally in the same place, just not for the same reasons. A lot of journalist writing is inherently sensationalistic, because the metric has become an ambulance chasing and gross out horror metric.

Personally, have more issue with the automaton-like reactions of the workers. 1000 workers, who are holding fundraisers to help each other find other work, and recover from illnesses, smell mold so strong it "hits you when you walk by the plant, and yet almost no personal responsibility.

Have to be forced to wear masks. Don't just buy bleach and nuke the area into oblivion. Boxes had large Do Not Bring Inside, boxes are brought inside. Obviously illegal behavior. Where's the documentation of provable illegalities? Every phone's got a camera with timestamps. (also a serious issue with the military barracks situation. You went home to this every night? Took years and a Reuters expose? [1]).

However, still sympathetic. "Electrical workers complained to foremen." Objects replaced just prior to safety inspections. Months of mold complaints, largely ignored. 12 health or safety investigations, half closed, half limbo. Must be infuriating working in technician industries. Reuters investigation of SpaceX was basically a deja-vu story. "Bad safety results? Stop reporting." [2] These days it seems better to go to a journalist, than the safety agencies, they're far too financially motivated. "Good for Kentucky business. Die of mold? We'll give you a plaque somewhere, in a decade or two once the money's extracted."

A two-party system is a side effect, the root problem is winner-take-all at the lower levels. If you have bigger districts that elect the top 3-4 candidates you're more likely to see results of 3-1 or 2-1-1 than 4-0, and the 2-1-1 result being attainable is what allows for more parties reliably.

There's lots of ways to set up ballots and calculate support fallbacks, and they've all got tradeoffs, but they're nearly all strictly better than First Past The Post at electing a larger body (senate, congress, parliament, whatever).
