Yes, almost. Kiste in Norwegian.

There's a long list comparing cognates in various Scandinavian languages here. I can't vouch for the Scots, but the Norwegian looks mostly accurate (though labelling Norwegian as Norse is weird - maybe it's a Scots thing, but the two are distinct languages). Interestingly it is almost "too strict" in some cases. E.g. Scots "efter" (English "after") is generally "etter" in modern Norwegian, but "efter" is an older form, from the Danish, and still in use though more so in particularly conservative older spoken Norwegian and some dialects.

NSO was targeting something like 40k people just in mexico. It's entirely possible that this was an accidental targeting because they have a similar name or email to a target.
>>LLMs can't generate english answers for things answered only in Russian in the training data.

For multilingual LLM’s? Why do you think that?

An LLM can translate inputs of arbitrary Russian text. If there were an English question about something only in the training data as Russian, I would expect an answer - with the quality being on par with its general translation capabilities.

keys.openpgp.org is the semi-canonical key server for OpenPGP. Certainly there are other key servers, but it makes more sense for us to look up keys on a keyserver hosted under openpgp.org than one hosted by Ubuntu or any other single entity. KOO is a community-led and -governed project. It now even has elections and a board (which we joined): https://keys.openpgp.org/about/news#2023-04-28-governance

WKD is great, but can't be used by people with email addresses under domains that don't support it. So KOO fills that gap.
"Content you're allowed to scrape from the internet" is MUCH smaller than what LLMs have actually scraped, but they don't care about copyright.

The problem isn't whether we used all the real data or not, the problem is that it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish real data from previous LLM outputs.

You need wins to feel good. Or, projects with finish lines. But many projects go on year after year with no finish lines, ever, unless you or the company runs out of juice, or you move to a different company to do the same thing. In web dev, launch day is the closest you get, but it’s not a real finish line. Hitting kpi targets sort of counts, but it’s not psychologically satisfying like finishing a table or a piece of pottery or harvesting a crop and selling it or serving it for dinner.

I think most schools would claim it is that, they just reject that testing is the end all be all of who is the best. These schools are looking for the next generation of leaders, theres a lot that goes into being a leader that isnt counted on standardized tests. Standardized tests really just tell you who has the highest IQ. Useful, but it misses lots of other attributes.

This is why good developers are hard to find. There aren't a whole lot of developers who have the required technical abilities while also being able to communicate with clients/leadership effectively.

The CEO is doing that because they don't understand how things work in your org. If you're the one communicating with the CEO, then its your job to be persuasive when telling them why what they're asking can't happen the way they're envisioning.

If they come back with "make it happen" then you weren't persuasive enough.

Mainly because nobody is a "CSS Dev". If someone's entire job was developing CSS, you might expect that they would be willing to learn one new slightly different way of doing it. But in reality the pushback comes from full stack developers who already have a million other things to worry about, such that relearning all the basic CSS they already know, to achieve benefits that are rather minuscule in the grand scheme of things, is a low priority. I personally am working on a Tailwind product that is fairly small (~10k lines, perhaps), and the Tailwind isn't an annoyance per-say, but it's definitely less ergonomically friendly than the well-engineered enterprise application I was working on before, which was 100x the size and used exclusively pure CSS.

Personally, my dream would be if inline styles supported the full CSS gamut of pseudo selectors and the child element selector. Then you'd have the admitted benefits of not needing to synchronize the two files, along with the benefit of not needing to relearn all of CSS.

Edit: it's funny, in a way, that all these developers complaining about how CSS "doesn't scale" are likely writing their Tailwind in an large scale application styled entirely via CSS. https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fvscode++langu...

Don't attack people who can hold deeper conversations on free will than you can.

If they say GPT4 has better philosophy of mind than most people, that's because that is true. Trying to argue they're crazy for saying so is a coping mechanism, not an effective argument.

GPT4 easily outclasses you in this debate. If you don't think so, let's go - I'll referee and judge a debate between you and GPT.

I want you to win and prove me wrong.

But for that, you'd have to drop your insults, and use reasoning and empathy at least as well as GPT does. Think you can do that, chooms?

It is already solved. Look at how Microsoft trained Phi - they used existing models to generate synthetic data from textbooks. That allowed them to create a new dataset grounded in “fact” at a far higher quality than common crawl or others.

It looks less like an ouroboros and more like a bootstrapping problem.
This is another way of looking at the concept of Kolmogorov Complexity and relating it to real life... which thing you consider the most "natural" encoding of these concepts, and thus the "shortest", can depend very heavily on your "native mathematical language". One not even reach out to strange hypothetical aliens who think utterly different than us. Multiple people all firmly raised in the modern conventional human mathematical landscape can vary, as is seen right here.

Though it does occur to me to wonder what an alien in a very obviously hyperbolic universe would consider the most natural. Or one of the beings that lives in Greg Egan's universe with two time and two space dimensions.
Agreed. Using LLM to generate or curate training sets for other generations seems like a cool approach.

Maybe if you trained a small base model to know it doesn't know in general and THEN trained it on the entire web with embedded not-knowing preserving training examples, it would work?

In Germany, 405 Watt panels new can be had for 65 euros. The law allows up to 800W to be connected to homes with relatively little bureaucracy, as a balcony solar power plant which renters can install without modifying the building. This seems to have pushed the price down, so there are many 800W kits including panels, an inverter and cables available for under 400 euros.

I'm not sure what they meant, but "k" in some Germanic languages are pronounced with a sound similar to German "ch" in some contexts.

E.g Norwegian "kirke" and German "Kirche" has almost the same sounds expect the order of the "k" and "ch" sounds are reversed:

Norwegian "kirke" is IPA /çɪrkə/ vs German "Kirche", IPA: /ˈkɪʁçə/

Notably, this is not the case for either Scots "kirk" (/kɪɾk/) or English "church" (which is /t͡ʃɜːt͡ʃ/)

Interestingly, the words for church in these languages all comes from Byzantine Greek via Proto-West Germanic, and English is the odd one out (as usual-ish) of the Germanic languages by having gone to "cirice" in Old English while all the other Germanic languages retained k's, and usually at least one "k" sound as well, and even in cases like German where one of the k's has become a "ch", the "ch" sound is the IPA /ç/ that is often spelled "k" in other Germanic languages.
One of the ways that I think Kotlin and Rust are objectively better than Java and C++ is in that they have saner defaults than their predecessors (like open/final and mut/const).

Headline is a just a teensy bit more “correlation IS causation, actuallly” than the actual paper, which bends over backwards to avoid claiming that mRNA vaccines are causing heart complications in anyone at all.

Now, it does a pretty decent job of establishing its own methodological weaknesses, and someone else may be much better at interpreting stats than me, but something certainly seems off when only 218 members of the survey group reported having a cardiac complication and 366 reported neutral belief that the cardiac complication they had experienced was caused by the virus… when the clear majority of the cohort had no cardiac complications at all the lack of a N/A box on that question really skews the results.

Also given how many people in that population already had diagnosed hypertension, what are the odds that they would have had such a complication even without the vaccine?
I think the headline is a little bit too assertive for a paper that is very tentative, about a topic for which people should be very skeptical. Tracing languages features back 10,000-20,000+ years is a fairly iffy proposition. Proto Indo European is _only_ 5000ish years old in comparison.

>It looks like composition over inheritance has caught on as the better default in other languages, but in the CSS world people still cling to the cascade as a best practice for some reason

I find this falls into generally two camps, those who want to fight the browser and those who don’t.

Those that tend to hate the cascade tend to fight the browser a lot, whether they realize it or not. Generally speaking, they want things to work a certain way (IE everything in isolation) and prefer to think of styles isolated bits.

The second camp tends to not fight the browser and embrace the browsers methodology. They embrace the cascade because it’s easier than fighting it, but it requires a more sophisticated approach and seeing styles in a wholistic manner, not isolated purely into components (though may be organized in a way that co-located them with relevant components)

Both work, ultimately, and modern tooling and approaches allow both to exist, but I will say, the second group often has a better grasp on keeping project maintainability over time in my experience.

US says Russian hackers stole government emails during Microsoft cyberattack
Slavery, throughout history, was generally not seen as desirable. Rather, it was either seen as a necessary evil, upon which a "logical rationale" (read: cognitive dissonance) was built up to justify it, or as a form of punishment. Aristotle actually predicted its end about 2000 years before it happened [1]:

---

For if every instrument could accomplish its own work, obeying or anticipating the will of others, like the statues of Daedalus, or the tripods of Hephaestus, which, says the poet, "of their own accord entered the assembly of the Gods."

If, in like manner, the shuttle would weave and the plectrum touch the lyre without a hand to guide them, chief workmen would not want servants, nor masters slaves.

- Aristotle ~350BC

---

He also made regular indirect mention of abolitionists and abolitionist causes, which have obviously existed for millennia. It's not just some coincidence that the Industrial Revolution happens and within about a century most of every country (that had benefited from said industrialization) had outlawed slavery. It's not that we became more moral, but rather it became comfortable enough to dispose with slavery. So we did, and then attributed that to "modern thinking."

On the one hand, a tool is as good or bad as the person wielding it. Smart folks with the right intentions will certainly be able to use this stuff to increase the rate and quality of their output (because they're smart, so they'll verify rather than trust. Hopefully.)

On the other, moderation is an unsolved problem. The general mess of the internet is probably not quite ready to be handed a footgun of this caliber.

As with many things tech, some of the outcome falls to us, the techies. We can build systems to help steer this.
We're talking local here. Once you get to the gateway, you can go ipv6 but the iot camera, cups printer and smart plug is perfectly happy in the world of 192.168

Again, the only replacement I can foresee is for an address schema that either doesn't pretend to even attempt global space or has a UUID scheme where network addresses are immutable, globally unique and inviolable.

This would potentially simplify an iot world if the addresses are known, globally unique and static.
Yep, definitely power is an issue and a trade-off even with low levels of power. The other item is cost. Cold gas thrusters are super cheap and reliable. So the savings in amount of propellant in going to an electric propulsion system is not going to be worth it in the overall program. This is also because the total amount of maneuvering they are doing (in terms of deltaV) is probably not very large. Lots of little maneuvers. This is compared to something where you have large delta V for big maneuvers or continuously overcoming drag in low LEO orbits where the amount of propellant will become a huge design driver.
Ha ha, yes, happens all the time.

In this case, published in a book 30 years ago, at least:

I personally subscribe to the Trotskyist analysis that the root cause of the rot that led to Stalinism was the isolation of the revolution in one country, and nothing Lenin could have personally have done would have made a difference once the German revolution failed. They were politically and economically isolated, and unable to effectively administer governance, and if it hadn't been Stalin's brutal form of dictatorship, the state would have either fallen apart or some other "Socialism In One Country" dogma + authoritarianism would have entered the fray.

Stalin rose through the ranks by being a seemingly "competent" administrator who restored the power of the old Tsarist bureaucracy to "get things done."

But in general, Lenin gets a bad rap for the awful things his successor did.

You'll note that Putin admires Stalin but loathes Lenin. Even bizarrely singling Lenin out for his positions on Ukraine and the national question etc in his crazy speech justifying their aggression on the eve of their invasion.

It's a horrible tragedy of history in which millions died and all of eastern Europe fell under a terrible dark iron curtain which took the name "communism" but the name is effectively irrelevant. What it really was was a broken down highly authoritarian single party state that used the badge of "socialism" to lend itself legitimacy while doing very awful things in the name of Russian nationalism, certain individuals, the Party, etc. etc. Kleptocratic clique under the guise of a revolutionary state.

As we can see in China today the actual economic political model doesn't even matter. They'll use the name "communism" even when what they're doing is absolutely savagely market driven, or something else, like the quasi-theocracy in North Korea.

What they labelled as socialism in the East bears almost no resemblance to what socialists in the West advocated. But the label of "communism" will forever be marred by what these people did.

EDIT: A good classic book on this topic is "Leninism under Lenin" by Marcel Liebmann (https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/908-leninism-under-leni...) -- now, whether that old book can stand the test of time now that more historical records from that period are open, I don't know. I'd be curious to see a (non-ideologically motivated) Russian historian with access to records from the Revolution take it apart.

It's that broad a problem?

I usually see this in battery papers, where a legit paper on some minor advance in surface chemistry is hyped into a supposed world-changing result. Electrek, or somebody in that space, should publish a "1, 5 and 10 years ago in battery hype" column. We know now that most social science papers do not describe repeatable results. In what other fields is this a problem?
