Who made any end of history or knowledge pronouncements? Where did you read any claims that express 100% confidence? Your argument about what native people saw most strongly supports the idea that we should assume UFOs are natural or human-created, and not fantastical beings from another planet. You’ve brought support for what Carter said, not debate. It wasn’t a “claim”, BTW, it was a third-hand account of an opinion that appears to allow for uncertainty.
The acronym LoRA used in the context of deep learning (2021) is about seven years younger than the radio communication protocol called LoRa (2014). Type "lora" in a search engine and see what you get.
South Africa very much used townships and bantustans as a means of pushing both black South Africans and Namibians off land they wanted for whites. Yes, it is explicitly a racist ideology, but part of that racism is used to justify a treatment of others that enables confiscation and colonization.

Falsifiability isn't the be-all and end-all. It's an important way of looking at the world, but it's also limiting.

The limits are great at helping us identify absolute bullshit. And all of that bullshit is aggravating because it makes it seem impossible that there could be anything else. But it's still important to avoid the intellectual laziness of dismissing it automatically out of hand and potentially missing something else that matters to us.
Sorry to hear that! There are multiple control modes so I assume you're either using the mobile version or the desktop in casual mode. We've tried our best making the experience as easy to use as possible for a variety of user profiles, but it's not perfect. FWIW, the touch and mouse-only controls are similar to Google Street View.
I thought they'd added the gates to all the stations? Certainly I see them a lot, even though they're generally open in more rural areas.
The places I've worked on used multiple generators, more than was required to keep running. Home Shopping Network had 8, 5 of which would keep them on air. That's an extremely reliable backup.
I would very much like to know how to make one person spend only one day to set the whole thing up, including setting up a new domain, allocating/pointing to a web server, finding the pictures with the correct resolution and apply modification, creating the illustrations, making sure that "sign in" button at the top actually works, setting the background gradient in such a way that it is complaint with the company design language, designing and implementing "The Qubit Game" [0], designing and implementing the fancy "our quantum journey" interactive page [1], etc, in a company as large as Google. I am really curious who this Superman at Google is, who can do both design work and dev work and creating educational materials, get all things approved and reviewed and shipped within a day, and ensure links don't break to this day.

I also had one migrated and the left on GD, safe to say the transfer from GD to Cloudflare for all of the non migrated domains was very quick. The one on Squarespace is taking days to move. It took several hours to get the transfer authorisation code and now I've been waiting days for the actual transfer to happen. I was very happy with Google Domains, however I'm not surprised in the least that they killed off the product as they seem to do for everything.
The other recent improvement suggested for LoRA is DoRA: https://magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/lora-and-dora-from-s.... It really does seem to strongly outperform LoRA - see also https://www.answer.ai/posts/2024-04-26-fsdp-qdora-llama3.htm...
There's already tiny LLMs for this. They're bad. Because it's not enough information to be coherent.
Thanks! Yes, I've been making interactive diagrams for a long time. I wrote about my motivation in 2007 [1]. In the early 2000s it was Java applets, and then I switched to Flash applets, and then HTML5 in 2011. That was also around the time I ran out of disk space on my stanford site (they give me 100MB) so I bought a domain name, redblobgames.com. That was also around the time there was enough cross-browser support for me to switch to HTML5. And then in 2014 Bret Victor wrote about "explorable explanations" — that's when I felt like I wasn't alone in wanting this type of thing.

Yeah, DDG quality seems abysmal for many of my searches now. I'll then switch to Brave, which sometimes finds what I'm looking for. I rarely ever check Google or Bing as a fallback, but when I do it feels like a screenful of ads and it isn't any more helpful (except Google Image search).

Part of the problem seems like a recency bias in search results. I notice sites frequently update pages with new timestamps, but nothing of substance appears to have changed (e.g. a review of something that was released 4 years ago, but the page was supposedly updated last week). So if I do pretty much the same search that succeeded two months ago, but repeat it today, I might not find the useful result I remember coming across.

I'm sure there are a bunch of other issues related to search and SEO that are affecting search quality. It seems insane that the major search providers don't combat this trend by arming users with more tools to tailor their search, but rather steadily degrade the user experience with no recourse.

Honestly, I think if Google was wise, they'd have a skunkworks team rethinking search from scratch (not tied to AI/LLMs) that starts their own index and tries to come up with an alternative to the current Google Search. Maybe they have that already, though I doubt it. I'm sure if they do have such a team, it's intricately tied to existing infrastructure and team hierarchies which effectively nullifies any chance it has at success.

Be careful what you wish for, Carter is the poster boy of “good intentions not necessarily equaling good results”.

But admittedly he was better than the current candidates we have available to us in November.
The edge that every web scraper has is the knowledge they possess. In my opinion, conference presentations are usually too generalized or geared towards pitching services related to web scraping solutions.

There are some communities you can find in Discord, Telegram and most professional web scrapers are pretty active in LinkedIn and Twitter. The fun communities are in fact small groups of people with shared values and interests.

I really don't get the problem here, if you use orange juice in a wine competition and talk about how novel the wine is...what is the point here. Isn't the whole idea of cheese competition what kind of unique tastes can you get from a milk product.
We can't put 100% confidence in the claim that Santa Claus doesn't exist either, yet we say he doesn't because it'd be extraordinary for him to exist and we have no evidence to suggest he does.

That is not an "end of knowledge" style pronouncement, merely shorthand to avoid having to tack an "as far as we know" onto every single statement we make. Because we can known next to nothing with certainty. I don't know I'm speaking to a person and not an automaton for example, nor do I know I'm not a brain in a vat. It'd be very tedious if I had to caveat everything I said, however.

Such as? I haven’t seen this attitude you’re claiming to exist.
Really interesting article.

Fascinating:

> Spirituality is the tie that binds many centenarians and super-centenarians. National Geographic and the Blue Zones organization interviewed 263 people aged 100 or older, and all but five belonged to a faith community. Subsequent research suggests attending religious services four times a month can add at least four years of extra life span.

Ok, but this is "vegan cheese" we're talking about, not meat. Cheese is already 100% meat

Most people don't object to dairy products from cows, that's something that really only vegans care enough about to change their diets
The license prohibits Snap from using it. Meta knows that it would be useful to Snap and that they don’t have the resources to train their own model.

They could police their content. Or if they don’t want to, they could meaningfully partner with the security industry - create a “security bots” program, respond to takedown requests in days not months, etc.
I think most computer programmers at least can get a lot done if they are focused from 9am to 5pm, with a short break for lunch. Your best employees are sometimes thinking about their work subconsciously during their time off and spending time learning new things to help them at work.
This is why I'm uninterested in just. I'd rather just use make than add another dependency.
From summaries, it seems like the novel explores ideas of human exceptionalism, such as humans having an innate ability to understand the world using only their own abilities to observe and reason. Unfortunately, these ideas seem to be contradicted by real-world cases of feral children[1], such as the disturbing case of Genie[2].

Most people buy a new phone every few years as it is, app passwords are the same between platforms, and the average user only uses about a half dozen apps. No one is locked into iOS nor Android. We are talking about 2-3 hours of effort to switch, hardly a ‘anti-competitive’ burden. Get real.

Germany, unlike France, the UK or the US, has no nuclear wrapons program. Therefore there is no dual use incentive to keep the civilian program running.

Japan, it is true, also has no (active) weapons program, but has kept its civilian program going so far.
Terrific! Thank you.
I’m curious, what does Israel need to do before you’ll consider it criminal, how should those crimes be reported before you’ll believe them, instead of rejecting them as anti-semitic lies?

As we speak people are investigating a the mass grave at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. I’ll give you 4 pro-Zionist or pro Israel sources reporting on it[1][2][3][4] (including one which 3/4 of the news is a direct quote from the IDF[4]). The final count of bodies found in that mass-grave is 392, and all sources agree at least 200 people were burred there.

The IDF claims there is no mass-grave and that the bodies were unearthed months ago. CNN (a pro-zionist newspaper) is not convinced and claims to have evidence that which counters the IDF claims[5], including evidence that some of the victims burred in their hospital gowns.

There are even reports that many of the bodies show signs of torture, executions, and being buried alive[6]. There are calls for an independent investigation from all sides except the IDF (who want no investigation) and the US State Department (that wants Israel to investigate their own crimes). I’m sure there will be an investigation and it will conclude the existence of the mass grave with at least 200 victims of IDF violence (the 392 figure probably includes older bodies). I’m also sure this future independent investigation will conclude there are some evidence of torture and at least 10 victims were executed.

Let’s say for the sake of argument that I’m right, and in 2 months this report comes out. Will you then simply claim that the independent investigation was conducted by Jew-haters and is not based in reality?

> his knowledge of physics...

...of our contemporary civilization. If you think objectively about it, there is no reason for the technological level of any potential alien visitor to be in a range that we can understand - solely for the act of traveling great distances that are required to reach a distant star, they would need to have discovered physics paradigms far beyond our understanding today.

Us trying to 'interpret and judge' the technological level of such a civilization today would be akin to a never-contacted tribe seeing a helicopter and deducing that it cant be real because 'people cant fly'.
Humans also love their tools. While tools get more advanced, they sometimes lose some charm or benefits of older tools.

For me, an interest in retro tech is seeing how people did things in the past and realizing we lost some "nice" experiences along the way.

Also, in a world where everything becomes obsolete at record speeds, something so obsolete feels stuck in time.
Yeah, I'm really not sure how we got to the current state of things. I would love to hear an explanation of how the various financial instruments are actually beneficial to people in the outside world because it certainly doesn't look that way.

Here is a piece of the Arm-A ASL:

(result, -) = AddWithCarry(operand1, imm, '0');
if d == 31 then
SP[] = ZeroExtend(result, 64);
else
X[d, datasize] = result;

and here is some analogous Sail (automatically translated from the ASL, in fact):

(result, nzcv) = AddWithCarry(operand1, operand2, carry_in);
if d == 31 then {
SP_set() = ZeroExtend(result, 64)
} else {
X_set(d, datasize) = result
}

I'm somewhat at a loss to understand in what way that's less readable?

(There surely are things that can be improved, of course - e.g. perhaps the concrete syntax for fancy types - but readability was a primary goal in the Sail design; it's really not a theorem-proving language or something that needs fancy PL knowledge.)

> Is this considered a major bottleneck?

No, because an ALU instructions with a register as source is already running as fast as possible (at 4 clock cycles, which is the duration of an opcode fetch 'machine cycle'). Or from a different perspective: an 8-bit ALU wouldn't have made math instructions faster, but would have cost twice as many transistors.

The 4-bit ALU is just an internal implementation detail that isn't visible to the outside (except maybe through the existence of the half-carry flag which indicated a carry from the lower into the higher nibble).

And if you want a CPU replacement that plugs directly into old home computers, the CPU needs to have the original instruction timing, otherwise software that depends on 'cycle counting' won't work (probably less of an issue on the ZX Spectrum though because the Speccy didn't have a programmable video hardware like for instance the Amstrad CPC).

The eZ80 is a modernised and more efficient design, with (among other things) a wider ALU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_eZ80. Not an option for keeping old home computers alive though, for this you'd want an exact Z80 clone with the original timings and undocumented behaviour.

"Our AI noticed you were trying to take a picture of your cat. Here is a better picture of a cat instead."
I think the model makes sense for gasoline, because gasoline is a fluctuating in price commodity, so if you had to include it in the price of the rental, the rental company would have profit or lose money based upon what you used and it’s price at the time of rental.

However with electric vehicles, you pay more upfront to have a lower operating cost. Most people purchasing an ev don’t worry about charging infrastructure, because they intend to just charge it in their garage. The rental car company knows how much the electricity will cost to fill up their vehicle as the price doesn’t fluctuate and the cost is way lower than gasoline, and they can easily add some chargers to their locations.

Also, electric vehicle chargers often require you to have an account and download an app and really just aren’t designed to be used by someone renting a car.

I think the business model simply makes way more sense if the rental car company deals with the first and last charge for an EV.
I’m not sure that training data about that would be required. Shouldn’t the model be able to recognize that `["re", "cogn", "ize"]` represents the same sequence of tokens as `recognize`, assuming those are tokens in the model?

More generally, would you say that LLMs are generally unable to reason about sequences of items (not necessarily tokens) and compare them to some definition of “valid” sequences that would arise from the training corpus?
