I'm still puzzled why you think an ECMO machine of all things is related to this at all. It's no more sensible than thinking a tourniquet has anything to do with prolonging lifespan. They both might save your/a life in the moment, but people still age, they get old, and no one basically even knows where to begin on that one even if they agree with you that it may be possible. I would go even further that those that sincerely imagine it is possible in the foreseeable future have no specialized knowledge of how it would actually work or be done (people like 4000 supplements and alkaline water Ray Kurzweil only prove out this point). You don't even know what you don't know.

And even if possible there is no sane reason to think that ECMO has any role in prolonging lifespan any more so than a ventilator or dialysis, you've completely lost the plot on that one.

> But every year that we wait to start (and we are waiting, because of our belief that it's not possible), is another year that people are needlessly dying.

Amusing that when dealing with eternity, what difference does it make if its 100 years, 400 years or 1000 years. Unless you have a better prediction than 1. build a better heart-lung machine 2. ??? 3. eternal life, chances are it's not going to be in your lifetime, so it really is of no consequence to you or your peers. And I'll guess you have little practical or actionable to add to this body of "research".
It's not language, it's experience, network, and having a differentiator that makes potential employers say, "Wow, we need to hire brutus1213 for our team because they have a really unique skill at <X>!" (X could be Kubernetes, deep learning, Erlang, whatever... the more uncommon, the better though.)

To that end, focus heavily on whatever exists in the vertex of what you're good at (which did you like and excel at of those things you did?) and a growth area (example: Python, C++ and the multitudinous ways they continue to be used together in AI etc).

So you have to look at what existing leverage you have and build upon that foundation. It will be very difficult to get a role without getting some hands on experience back first, so where I'd start is, could you step down to become IC at your current job? I'd be more interested to evaluate a candidate doing Python/Kotlin that wants to move into something adjacent than someone in management who just wants to be a dev again.
Siri isn't that slow for me generally, but the responses are relatively primitive compared to GPT. Very likely Siri is lagging GPT based agents due to the high processing cost of LLM queries.

Startups can launch with today's GPT agents because their utilization is relatively tiny. Siri operates at planet scale, plus Apple is committed to on-device privacy, so they need to develop highly optimized on-device models.

No doubt this is going to drive a major hardware upgrade cycle for Apple.

I have never heard of the H-allele. Not sure if @Buttons840 has seen this but “It became a family joke because me and my siblings are all O blood type. If my dad really did have AB blood then we are not his children. The hospital later confirmed it was a mistake.”

Thank you for the information as I always love learning more from the comments than the articles.
You don't actually need to use systems-boot to use systemd-init. They're two separate things.

A fairly credible source discussing just this question. A pretty blatant example is a linked video of protestors intimidating three Jewish students while claiming that they are “zionists” without any evidence except the students’ Jewishness.
Yes? LLMs are already doing that.
Okay, but isn't your own code generator a better option in this case? You know, a for loop with some parameters that spits out code?
If environment is assigned to the provinces then what is the Canadian Environment Protection Act https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services....

AFAICT it’s the federal laws about pollution.
Why wouldn't it, though? It's a massive new market that big corps are itching to get into if only they could do so legally. And the fact that some top politicians on both sides of the aisle are already investing in weed (on state level, where it's legal) has already made some news.

The only reason why it's not legalized yet is because 1) many politicians are old enough to be brainwashed to believe in "reefer madness", and 2) many voters are old enough to do the same, so politicians who don't believe in it still have to pander to them. But this is a problem that solves itself over time, which is why supporting weed legalization becomes more socially and politically acceptable.

I mean, just this year, 12 US senators wrote an open letter asking DEA to legalize weed. This would have been unthinkable 20 years ago, yet here we are.

If it's not all legal 20 years from now, I would be extremely surprised.
Rust without borrow checker is much less feasible than Go with Result/Option types to address the nil overdose problem. Unfortunately Go team refuses to acknowledge the common themes coming out of years of user complaints. They don't have to cater to every wishlist but when nil/enum related complaints are the majority in every discussion about issues with Go, one would think to acknowledge the legitimacy of those shortcomings. Nope, not Go team and their band of simplicity zealots.
I’m not a domain expert, but I haven’t seen ECMO offered to ‘old’ patients (over ~70). Do you have data on ECMO recipients’ age?
If Web Eraser is true, I can’t see how Meta and Microsoft are going to stay out of the phone hardware game. That feature is basically war lol.
This generally means running a GPU all the time. My personal preference is to use my preferred cloud (GCP).

FWIW, I'm using the VertexAI API rather than running an LLM all the time. They have data privacy in the ToS, so I'm not worried about them training on my data. It's far cheaper and better than running a lower quality model myself. When I get around to some fine-tunings, they have options, but you can get pretty far with prompts, RAG, and agents
Part 1 has an expanded plot line about killing fate that leads to alternative events. Part 2 has a multi-world thing happening.
$20,000 to run a close to state-of-the-art model is very reasonable. Well within the grasp of most startups and well off individual "gentleman scientists".
>You two seem to be arguing that you can cure bad actions with punishment, an idea that’s been debated ad nauseum for pretty much the entire recorded history of humanity.

It's not debated nor under debate, it's worked for that long. Not only has it worked that long but the effects are not even minor... otherwise it would have disappeared as it's pretty hard to maintain.

Not going to read the rest.
Their competitors take no shortcuts in the manufacture of 737s!
Unlikely; this will likely be focused on on-device search of your personal or other local data and relevant context from the web. This has always been Apple's focus, and the opportunity to 10X this with LLMs is profound. Access to your private data has always been the key to making a breakthrough intelligent agent and Apple is better positioned to make headway here than anyone else (except maybe Google Pixel but the marketshare is tiny).

There is really no need for Apple to step into web search when (1) they don't inherently have a value-add beyond making your searches more private, which they already can do, and (2) from a revenue standpoint they already tax Google billions a year for preferred placement.

Let's imagine these features are extremely effective and widely adopted, and the advertising market evaporates. What do people think is going to happen to the content ecosystem - suddenly all the low quality ad sponsored clickbait will disappear?

Personally, I think if the only way to earn a living is to convince people to pay for content, we will see much more polarization as consumers self select into their information silos, and producers are incentivized to produce content that flatters their readers sense of superiority and/or aggrievement.
I definitely feel the same. Like I am being force fed ideology when I just want to listen to music. I can't even ask for recommendations based on a selection, but they went ahead and destroyed the home view instead.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people that Clojure is not a practical, get-shit-done language.

For obvious reasons (syntax) Clojure gets lumped in with the other lisps but Clojure is really intensely practical. It makes a number of choices to that effect. The most of important of which is being a JVM language, so you get access to basically all Java code ever written. The builtin collections are very high quality. It's incredibly stable, so the code you write just keeps working regardless of whatever new features they add in the newest version of the language. There are a lot of high-quality libraries that are "done". The immutable-by-default thing makes writing concurrent code much, much easier. Being on the JVM means you don't have to fuss around with cross-compilation. It's fast enough that you rarely need to mess with optimizing it until you reach real scale. I could go on.

I don't even do much Clojure anymore, but when I did, it was hands down the best thing I ever used for work where the main tasks involved moving lots of data around, filtering it, reducing it, etc. Of course Clojure does tend to attract a lot of clever people, but it also attracts a lot of people looking for the tool with the most leverage to get their work done. There is a lot of Clojure out there, just quietly running the back offices of small/medium sized businesses.
At almost every company I've worked over the years, I had to go through countless mandatory annual trainings that effectively says expressing opinions on non work related subjective political topics with coworkers/employer is not advisable, risky and can be grounds for termination in extreme cases.

Either these people genuinely believed there was scope for discussion, or believed their opinion/choice of topic is a PR minefield that their employer wouldn't dare take action or they really wanted to get fired.

I'm not from the US. So, unless I'm missing some cultural context, their actions like political activism at work (unless related to labor issues and laws) are unthinkable atleast in my country.

The problem is Intel has allowed what the motherboard manufacturers are doing to be in spec. So long as the board is not changing the clock speed of the CPU but rather adjusting the allowed power delivery and turbo time it is in spec. This is a problem of Intel's creation.

Frankly it's downright annoying that motherboards come set to 4096 Amps and infinite turbo times as it means thermal throttling and a lot of noise for marginal performance gains. It also seems instability in a lot of cases as well. What they are doing however is in spec, thus Intel is to blame for this mess however they may try to pass the buck to the motherboard manufacturers.
Think about it long and hard enough, and every problem becomes a trolley car problem.
I feel like this statement is both obvious after spending a few minutes working with neural networks and completely useless in helping you build better neural networks.

Dual language adds clutter. We are in the age of short attention spans. The part you quoted is just below the Remove as much friction from the buying process as possible one.

And from personal experience, ages ago, landing some jobs when people tought I was native English speaker, and even same country, sometimes is better if they don't know the relation will be across international boundaries until they have half decided to buy/contract. Maybe that has changed in recent years.
Check the RAM requirements for the model (can be hard to find, though) and compare to the available RAM you want to run it in (VRAM if you are running on GPU, system RAM if running on CPU.)

E.g., this extended-context Llama 3 70B requires 64GB at 256K context and over 100GB at 1M.

What I really like is that this project will not blindly formalize the proof from the 90's. Instead they take a SOTA approach, streamlining and optimizing many parts of the proof. So it will result in a useful artifact for modern number theorists.
Gnome is always getting better (if you want to do things the Gnome way). Why should a DE show any elements begging to be clicked on my desktop while I am working (window list, etc)?

Sure, but it's not exactly user friendly to get it to work site wide, unless I'm blocking something simple like a graphics file by name.

Having the browser use machine learning to write the equivalent of a Greasemonkey script for the site with an easy way to revert changes would be much more user friendly.
I completely agree. People in the US need to learn that happiness cannot come from a purchase, whether it's chemicals to ingest or whatever else is being marketed to them. It's amazing what americans will do to their bodies and minds except get exercise and eat fresh healthy foods.

Then I guess getting a plumber or an electrician to fix problems is a luxury item for everyone in NYC now too. Toll roads are not the exclusive route to and from a given area yet this system is.

I believe this is the right answer: division by zero is dubious enough one wants to always special-case it; yes, sometimes 1/0=0 is the right answer but sometimes 1/9=∞ is better, or just display a blank indicating "N/A". You want an exception or, better still, a compiler that forces you to declare what to do each time 1/0 becomes possible in your code.
you have an interesting point of view, and some of the things you have said are correct, but if you try to use gradient descent on a function from, say, ℤ → ℝ, you are going to be a very sad xanda. i would indeed describe such a function as being discontinuous not just at π but everywhere, at least with the usual definition of continuity (though there is a sense in which such a function could be, for example, scott-continuous)

even in the case of a single discontinuity in the derivative, like in relu', you lose the intermediate value theorem and everything that follows from it; it's not an inconsequential or marginally relevant fact

It's statistically very unlikely that this driver will accidentally kill someone else.

So ridiculous.

Every author ever has learned from, been inspired by and influenced by the books they've read before. Same for every poet, painter, musician, sculptor. So much so that it's a common interview question to ask such people about their influences.

But somehow, if it's AI instead of a human, the same behavior is supposed to be copyright infringement in the eyes of the greedy copyright cartel? Preposterous.
Unix "way":

- what matters is composability (ie programs, possibly running from different computers, being able to use each other's output)

- simplicity is required for composability. Thus the structure less file system and the "everything is a file" design concepts.

The same merits as HTTP in the realm of protocols.

The appeal for a stricter and more principled approach are understandable, and the road one end up favouring largely depends on one's early experience I believe.

I, for one, grew up in a world where I could use either a resilient Linux system that could run a treasure trove of programs written long ago for different machines, or a more modern and principled OS (windows) where a small glitch in some non essential video driver would frequently bring down the whole thing. I went for linux, it won maybe for its merits, maybe by chance, and now I'm concerned that a whole encompassing systemd will eventually bring us back where an unrelated glitch, or backdoor, in an unrelated non essential part will bring down the whole system.

Resulting place was high-tech minimalistic - basically a large empty space with nothing to catch the eye and very mild, bland colour scheme.
