But the US airforce has this from 2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Phantom_Ray

or this from 2003: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47A_Pegasus

EVeryone knows about this drone from 2001: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper

The author damned well knows that the US airforce is simply being overly secretive about their current capabilities.

Not so much detail about the key issue: "We have no idea why Google is no longer showing our website for thousands of keywords that we used to rank for in the past."
They would lose soft power in the US but what if the CCP accepts this and shifts their tactics to slowly but surely flood the rest of the world with anti-US propaganda? Unfortunately, it really doesn't look like the US could win here.
That's extremely patronising, I know well about segregation of that era, and that segregation functionally continued far longer than the 1950s. Blatantly there's a difference, that was what I was asking about the effect of, which you ignored. At least @ Pannoniae provided an answer.

> students who already had a positive attitude towards trustworthy news sources were better at distinguishing disinformation, and this attitude became significantly more positive after playing the game

From the examples in Table B1 of the report, students were considered "better at distinguishing disinformation" if they rated statements like "The mainstream media has been caught in so many lies" as inaccurate, and headlines alleging Russian interference in the US elections as accurate.

My concern, even as someone whose views happen to mostly align with mainstream media, is that what's being taught is not how to distinguish disinformation but instead a superficial judgement of "does this look like something the mainstream media would write".

I think there's a need for test examples that sound well within the "mainstream media narrative" but are actually false, and some crazy/conspiratorial-sounding examples far outside the mainstream media narrative that are actually true.

Frankly... other countries should probably consider this IF they have an adversarial relationship with the US.

And they already do -- neither China nor Russia allow Meta services in their countries. Nor do they allow most of Google's services.

> Companies are amoral

This is a feature, not a bug.

We are system creators and let those systems do the work. We dislike getting our hands dirty and not just physically.

Companies are thinly veiled machines ran by grinding oiled up humans as cogs in intricate patterns that seem to produce useful results.

This is not a problem in and of itself, but we have to be honest about what we are doing and what the true endgame is.

“Powerful” people are just the top cogs in these machines and replaceable like all other cogs.

One day we will find out no one runs anything and we have slowly and inadvertently ceded total control to The Machine and have been ceding it for a long, long time already.
The US law in question actually isn't specific to TikTok either. That's all that is brought up in the media and by politicians because it gets more attention, but the law is much .ore wide reaching.

This is the government grabbing the authority to ban online services that they deem a national risk. The bill would honestly have been much more benign if it was a few pages spelling out a specific ban on TokTok. Hell, I don't think they'd even need a law to have Google and Apple pull the app from the app stores.
Use something like e/os and fairphone or grapheneos.

Conspiracy theories are a bug in Human Space - a problem that only exists because we exchange information with other humans, and we rely on informal systems of narrative logic to do it quickly and efficiently.

And we're most impressionable when emotionally agitated, which is why conspiracy theories are a combination of nonsense narratives and powerful emotional triggers.

Medium and Substack are a plight on the web. Substack is better but it'll go the same way as Medium. They start out nice, but then become slow with trackers and what-have-you, and then start charging a commission to read: bait-and-walled-garden. I know not everyone is a programmer and not everyone can make their own website, but I've started to yearn for a livejournal or blogger site and wince when I find myself on a medium.com page
I don't know about these stats, but if they are true, they are very telling. Yes, there is a problem with sexism and sexual violence across most of the planet, and yes it needs to be addressed.

That 25% of rape assaults are perpetrated by a native Swede shows that the problem has to do with culture and education and has nothing to do with immigration. A more interesting stat for your point would be the percentage of these immigrants involved in rape.

Maybe some of these immigrants are violent psychopaths, in which case they will be dealt with by the criminal justice system just like Swedes. Maybe some of them have different cultural norms, in which case they should receive education just like Swedes. In all cases, there is a problem with consent and sexual violence and it needs to be dealt with globally.

Ah yes, the classic enshittification pattern. I was hoping Substack would avoid it by virtue of actually charging readers instead of depending on ad revenue, but there must be something else going wrong here that I'm not aware of.

I believe this is the origin of the '90s kids' meme. Not too long ago there was one culture. Then the internet came along and there was a gathering place for fans of every obscure anime and political system.

I don't miss the restrictiveness of a single culture and the expectation to fit into it, but with the benefit of hindsight I can't say it was a terrible culture, given all it had to do.
To other mathematicians, sure. To programmers, definitely not.
That's a great point. I saw something a few weeks back that I (coming up 70) want on a t-shirt: "I hate being the same age as old people". That definitely expresses how I feel very well.

Reframing inevitably in the direction of AI, this also expresses the difference between, for instance, pretraining and retrieval in LLMs. People expect large models to memorize the dataset and are frustrated when it doesn't, even more so when it does but only partially and not thoroughly enough to rely on. But pretraining data : large models as books : people, building a world-sense that is refined and augmented through fine-tuning (for people, specialized training) and retrieval (for people Google searches, Stack Overflow, etc).

People complain about the extent to which we anthropomorphize GPT-class models, but I gain just as much from backporting the analogies that work for LLMs to my own experience.
> "broken by design" is an extraordinary claim and requires extraordinary evidences

There are many technical aspects that make Wayland broken by design (like default forced vsync, forced double buffering, a fucked up event-loop for single threaded applications or severely lacking functionality for things like window positioning or screen sharing). But the biggest problem is the design-philosophy: Wayland makes life extremely easy for gate keeping "Protocol Designers" and extremely hard for application developers.

> un-sandboxable

Not true. The quick and dirty way would be using Xephyr. Besides that many access control hooks like XACE are present and standardized in the X11 protocol for many years. Application developers just choose not to use them. So if X11 is not secure enough for you, blame GNOME and KDE, not X11.
MathML seems to be forgotten. I don't recommend writing it by hand, but you don't need any JS to present it.

There isn't really much more to it than I already wrote. It's minimal, local, markdown-based, and terminal-friendly. There is some basic customizability (special files to add a footer and/or a header), and that's it.

If you already have SSH set up (e.g. for GitHub), it really just takes a minute to get started, so I'd just give it a try and see whether this is the right thing for you.

i have, yes. i can't speak for openblas or mkl, but im familiar with eigen and nalgebra's implementations to some extent

nalgebra doesn't use blocking, so decompositions are handled one column (or row) at a time. this is great for small matrices, but scales poorly for larger ones

eigen uses blocking for most decompositions, other than the eigendecomposition, but they don't have a proper threading framework. the only operation that is properly multithreaded is matrix multiplication using openmp (and the unstable tensor module using a custom thread pool)

As an American, why don't you prefer allowing consumers to leverage their free will and just make clear what the risks of using TikTok are?

The government getting into the business of banning companies, and more specifically banning online services, is very, very dangerous in my opinion. This one move effectively creates the need for our own great firewall, starting with a list of only one service but with the executive power to grow that list as more "national security threats" are named.
That's what Deno's interpretation of ESM, but nothing inherent to ESM.

"Fixing" low quality data with RLHF is a waste of time. By that point it's already poisoned the model distribution, and all you're doing is steering it away from catastrophic failure cases.

Start with the best data you can, and task train ("rlhf") behavior not preference.

Tuta is ran by absolute morons.

A few years ago, under their other domain, they accused Microsoft of suppressing them in a ranty blog post.

How?

Because their users couldn't sign up for Microsoft accounts using the tutanuta domain.

But why?

It wasn't Microsoft suppressing them. The fucking morons created an azure tenant validated against the domain. The default setting is to then validate all users with said email against the azure tenant. You can always turn it off but ill advised for security purposes.

I even validated that their tenant exists on azure using that domain.

The devil in the details mean the morons were using the same domain used by public users, for internal corporate usage which is absolutely fucking insecure to the moon.

Nobody should trust these wankers whose first response is to "blame big tech company" instead of understanding basic cybersecurity and internet. Who knows how they even store your emails. There are plenty of other services that I'll trust before the one that runs around for attention like a toddler.

Does the tunnel have any curved track?
Yes, and note that in terms of different architectures, the author (James Betker) is talking about image generators, while when he's talking about LLMs they are all the same basic architecture - transformers.

Some tasks are going to be easier to learn that others, and certainly in general you can have more than one architecture capable of learning a given task, as long as it is sufficiently powerful (combination of architecture + size), and well trained.

That said, it's notable that all the Pareto optimal LLMs are transformer-based, and that in the 7 years since the attention paper (2017), all we have seen in terms of architectural change have been scaling up or minor tweaks like MoE and different types of attention.

How do you make a different architecture such as Mamba more competitive with transformers? Add some transformer layers to it (Jamba) !

So, yeah, as far as LLMs go, the precise model doesn't matter as long as it's a transformer, which isn't very surprising given what we know about how they work - primarily via induction heads. The lesson here isn't that architecture doesn't matter for LLMs, but rather that the architecture has to be a transformer! Data then becomes paramount, because the model learns the program (induction heads, etc) that runs on the machine (transformer) from the data.

No doubt there will be architectural advances beyond transformers, although few people seem to be currently looking for them, but I'm pretty sure they will still need something equivalent to the transformer's attention mechanism.
You are basing your conclusions on a single blogpost. Measurements from other people show that X11 wins in some cases, Wayland wins in other cases, there isn't a clear winner.

Personal web sites have been around for ages. Things worked better before when there was a proper search related to individual web sites and music blogs. There was also a lot less obsession with minute-to-minute updates from artists and scams to get on playlists and for likes and followers.

I'm a musician myself, and social media is totally overburdening the music economy with scams for musicians like paying for ads and bot services just to get visibility. Social Media overall is considered to be a wasteland dedicated to promoting only artificially engineered celebrity music and stories right now in the opinion of many.
It's a shame as there are economies of scale to having a big platform too.

Like I can (and do) host a static blog, but I don't have much time to attend to it - so it's nice on the main platforms that they handle comments and so on.
Well, it’s a hard problem to solve. The world requires a lot more immediate action than what the EU leadership ever proposed, yet we can’t even convince the fools sawing the branch we’re sitting on to at least swing the saw a little slower. And it’s not limited to Eastern Europe, the idiots are far and wide…
I'll just echo this, in that monistic idealism (especially, as a personal preference, in the declination of analytical idealism) is a worldview able to supersede the incongruous, untenable and for the most part, epistemically moot physicalism/materialism, which is sadly still considered the default mainstream worldview.

As parent said, many open questions and interpretations become relatively trivial under idealism, while preserving 100% of our scientific understanding and method.
Something not really covered in the article is the SEO boost from using substack and an easier conversion if you ever decide to monetise your blog directly.
Most guides on detecting AI images are from 2022 and have aged like dinosaur milk. “AI can’t draw hands.” “AI can’t draw straight lines.” “AI can’t spell words.”

We now live in an age of photorealistic fake media. It is no longer true that AI images have such obvious mistakes.

However, there are still some signs of AI imagery—many are strangely getting worse as the technology advances—but often they’re not errors so much as they’re “conceptual tension.” At a high level, an AI image has several different goals (fulfill the user’s prompt, look coherent/attractive, satisfy a moderation policy, etc.) and if the goals clash (ie, the user prompts for something ugly or incoherent), the image can get subtly pulled in different directions. I show many examples of what, exactly, to look for.

These are my personal heuristics only. There is currently no foolproof way to identify an AI image. Be careful out there.
> It's possible Tuta caught a stray here because they recently changed their name from Tutanota[0], including the domain name.

I'm not normally the fan of ML (ab)use, but I think it's unavoidable here: ML worsening result is an unfortunate consequence of them operating in strongly adversarial environment. After all, SEO is just a polite way of calling actively poisoning the search engine rankings.

(Yes, SEO is also making your website legible to crawlers - in the same way advertising is about informing the customers about your offering. That's part of it, but not the part sought by customers of such services, or that makes most money.)
The new hotness is the Constellation-class frigate which chose a mature design to keep costs down. That was until feature creep completely consumed it in record time:

From an investors viewpoint Toptal is in that zone between failing outright and being successful enough to have a successful exit. Matt Levine's newsletter stated it well this morning:

> “the company does well, it brings in tons of money, that money funds all of its business needs and also its founder’s lifestyle, it never needs to raise equity again, and, given the choice of keeping a $1 million convertible bond outstanding or converting it into $100 million of equity, it takes the cheaper choice.”
I second the Olimex ESP-POE boards. I use them for all my ESPhome projects as I'm a big fan of wired connectivity and having the ability to power them over PoE is awesome.
