I found the documentation for k8s (https://kubernetes.io/docs/home/) in this repo in PDF form: https://github.com/dohsimpson/kubernetes-doc-pdf, so this part ended up being pretty simple thanks to them! From there I used PyPDF to parse the docs for the vector store.

I haven't started digging into the RAG performance, so open to ideas on ways to improve this!

This is an important law to pass. Not because of it's intended effects but because of the unintended. I strongly support it.

Electrical vehicles' switching power supplies are terrible radiators of low frequency radio. As the articles say, this radio interference is why auto-makers were removing AM radio. If this regulation passes to law it will have the unintended effect of making auto makers not pollute the entire world's shared radio spectrum and prevent it's use by all. The FCC should have stepped in to bar production of many of these vehicles but I guess congress has it accidentally covered. We can only hope that other nations pass similar legislation.

It is entirely possible to minimize and mitigate these conducted and radiated emissions. It will just mean hiring RF/Power EEs to know where to put the caps, how to run a controlled impedance line, etc.
I would say the risk of Nintendo - or, really, any company - caring about an emulator goes up with the amount of money the devs are making from it.
Regardless of the rest of this thread, I appreciate this comment. It helped crystalize 'enum' in the context of 'sum' for me in a way that had previously been lacking. Thanks.
> What premises?

- The objective fact of the matter

- the scientific method produces vastly more accurate predictions than anything else humans have ever tried

- This is the whole reason science is even a thing

- I think

- that justifies

- a little bit of cockiness

- until someone actually comes up with something better

- [reality], the phenomenon that shall not be discussed, upon which your entire argument/experience/reality rests

> it's just a method.

By "just", do you mean only?

If so, you have a burden of proof on your hands (and proofs of nonexistence are some of the trickiest, in no small, part because they typically have the appearance of being (thus "are") the easiest).

If not, what do you mean?

An angle to test your claim against: are scientists a part of science? If not, how does "science" accomplish anything in the material plane (concrete reality)?

> If you are "unable to consider" some possibility that is not the fault of the scientific method, that is a shortcoming in your mental abilities.

a) Is "I am unable to consider..." actually happening though, in shared reality? (Is this mind reading, or persuasive, misinformative rhetoric?)

b) What if your "Science is just (only) a method" premise is not true though? What if science also has culture (like most any organization involving Humans), or even a style of thinking (say, delusions of omniscience, or Pure Perfect Rationality)?

c) Might you have any shortcomings in your mental abilities, and is it possible that those shortcomings could cause unrealized/unrealizable (due to your cultural thinking style) error in your evaluation of my mental abilities?

> The scientific method doesn't stop you from considering anything. All it forces you to do is reject ideas that are at odds with experiment.

If these claims are True (in JTB, be careful your mind doesn't get so obsessed with the "J" that you forget all about the "T", or forget that the "B" is ever present, and very misleading), you should be able to present a proof (an articulation of one of your own, or simply link to or reference by name an existing one).

Do you have the ability do do that, and if so can you demonstrate you actually have the ability, by actually doing it, physically, in this thread?

(inb4: "well of course I'm just expressing my opinion, that's all everyone is ever doing", and various other rhetorical get out of jail free (or, look over there) cards science folks appeal to when they get caught engaging in Scientific Soothsaying.)

In practice, people tend to use units that match the “natural scale” of the data.

If the data consists of electrical potentials between 0.0000001 and 0.0002 V, it’s way easier to think about it as microvolts, especially if any other is in a complementary scale.

actually, quite a good idea, regardless which sector!
> Now the roles inverted somehow: Spaniards/Mexicans don't like people immigrating to THEIR country. Even if they do it legally and inject money to the local economy.

Its simply because that 'injecting money to the local economy' thing is a false proposition. A rich immigrant doesn't buy 100 shoes, 10 cars, or a dozen breads every day. They consume only as much as any other person would do. Their benefit to the local economy is negligible as a result. But...

> Mainly because they are making the cost of living higher than what the locals can afford.

...the difference between the Spanish, the Mexican immigrants in the US and the new wave of (mainly Angloamerican) immigrants in places like Spain is that the latter are rich immigrants. Even in the case of a merely working class American or Brit moving to Spain, the immigrant has much more income or life savings than the average Spaniard due to the high cost of living in the US or the UK etc. So when they come to cheaper places, they directly gentrify even the white-collar professionals from the city centers and coastal areas. If a white collar lawyer and engineer cant cope up with the rising housing costs and food prices, there is no way that the average Spaniard could afford those either.

So in the current dynamic, these rich individuals gentrify the people of the target nation out of their cities entirely, like in the case of Barcelona. Some locals started to call this 'a colonization' recently.
Same here, for a couple of years around the time when Kindle launched I was lured by the "have dozens of books at your disposal in a single place" proposal. Bought quite a few e-books at the time, read them but when it got to the point I wanted to share a book with someone I realised I didn't care about having dozens of books in a single device at once, I would normally be reading 2-3 maximum at a time. And I couldn't share an amazing read with someone I was sure would like it as well.

Reverted back to physical books and I don't think I will ever buy e-books again. I just love having them piling up on bookshelves, love when people come visit me and can see some of my interests by peeking into the shelves, and love when someone asks me to borrow one of them.
Is there really much risk in just not tracking by default?

I think ignorance is part of it, but also, they don’t actually want to do what users want them do to, which is just not track unless the user goes looking for options that actually require tracking at a technical level.
Faker.js works pretty great. You can also just set up the fake data yourself in the database.
I mean

Hecto = 100
Hectoliter = 100 litres
Hectogram = 100 grams

Kilo = 1000
Kiloliter = 1000 litres
Kilogram = 1000 grams

It doesn't look that confusing?
I think you need to prefix your assumptions here with a large ostensibly. Of course you're right that this is what "they" are trying to do and what they believe. But the only real result has been that trust in media has essentially disappeared, with government not far behind. This [1] article was shared on here sometime back. Only 25% do not think the media is trying to actively mislead them (50% do, 25% undecided), only 23% believe journalists act in the public's best interest, and so on. This is why I offered the USSR as an example.

This sort of propaganda/censorship package is tried by literally every single collapsing empire, and it just backfires horribly every single time. The only modern feature will be propaganda bots, but that will likely be even worse. Because the thing is, you can't just convince people that 2+2=5 by screaming it at them endlessly. The only time propaganda really works is on topics that people know absolutely nothing about and have no preformed opinions - like certain wars. But even that tends to very liminal, and then once people realize that things weren't exactly as they were led to believe, they're now that much less trusting of you.

I think your own example also emphasizes this reality. AfD isn't unique. Such parties are skyrocketing in popularity all throughout Europe. See the Sweden Democrats [2] who may soon become the largest party in Sweden. If you took out the ad hominem attacks against them, that Wiki page would be about 10% as long. Yet not only is the propaganda failing to change minds in the desired direction, if anything it seems to be having the exact opposite effect. Like always. But if politicians, let alone countries, were capable of learning from the past - then we might not find ourselves where are today, playing history on repeat like hamsters going around on a treadmill, with little but technology offering a refreshing change of scenery.

When we hire a junior person we are interested in math background, ability to communicate real world value of various models to our investment process and familiarity with computer science and software engineering concepts more than we care about experience with specific languages or technologies. That being said, C++ does still dominate this space so having exposure to it certainly would not hurt.
I built a JavaScript library for creating LLM-based game NPCs, here's a video demo: https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/e...

You drop all their knowledge into a file, like .txt. or .html and it uses RAG to learn everything in the file, so if it's a vendor things like shop inventory, prices, or if it's a storyteller/questgiver you can give it knowledge the player must uncover, etc.

It uses the LLM for natural sounding conversations and instructions ("speak in the style of..." etc.)

New design of the OpenAI blog page
Trying to understand some of the interplay here:

> threat actor had accessed data including ... certain authentication information such as API keys, OAuth tokens, and multi-factor authentication.

> If I have a Sign account linked to my Dropbox account, is my Dropbox account affected? No. Based on our investigation to date, we believe this incident was isolated to Dropbox Sign infrastructure, and did not impact any other Dropbox products.

If you linked your Dropbox account to a Sign account, wouldn't Sign have had an OAuth token (or similar) with permissions to access documents in Dropbox accounts? One imagines that leaked, if everything else did. Would they have been able to detect this as a distinct access pattern from someone, say, choosing a file to sign via the Sign interface?
I was referring to the DMCA takedown process, which is what Nintendo expressly used in this example. The actual lawsuit relies on elements of the DMCA for the case but they didn’t use the takedown procedure.
> Further twitter, reddit, and youtube all censor to a far greater extent than tiktok.

How do we know that, though? I agree that Twitter, Reddit and YouTube "censor" things – though outside of government takedown orders, I'd just call it moderation. But it's not like ByteDance/the CCP publish their own government takedown orders, nor do they have anything similar to the Freedom of Information Act. In the end, we don't know what they could be censoring; we only know what they're not censoring.
Great work! Do you have plans to add support for other models (e.g. Gemini)? My understanding is some models are better optimized for recall of info from large corpuses like docs.
I could be wrong, but the report seems to be that some mines contained asbestos, but that it was manageable, so the only relevant finding was that their end product "sometimes tested positive" for "small amounts" of asbestos during a 30-something-year period. Did the amount/frequency represent a legal responsibility to report it? Did it represent a moral responsibility, based on known science? I haven't seen much about that, and I'd love to hear from some source that at least appears to be attempting objectivity.

Right, but they hedge their way out of it with "This makes the left and right parenthesis unchangable from within the language (not conceptually, but under some implementations it is not possible)" so it's not even clear which "Lisp" they're talking about.

I'm sorry but you're bordering on delusional here. The Model Y has been the highest selling car in the world for several months over the last year. The Model 3 and S are also high up there. I will grant you that cybertruck was a colossal waste of time. It's selling but resources would have been better allocated to their low-cost car. Even Elon has admitted the same about CT and Y in hindsight.

But car sales are down across the entire market, this isn't exclusive to Tesla or EV's. Interest rates are just too high for your average consumers and discretionary spending continues to drop. It's myopic to think Tesla are doing something wrong without looking at the state of things.

Jane Street has been doing this since they were much smaller. I interned there when they had like 300 people, and they were actively cultivating a great brand as an employer back then too—and looks like they've really made it work over the last decade!

My impression with them in general was that they were willing to do lots of things that did not "conventionally" make sense at their size, and those things paid off. The internship program, for example, was relatively large in comparison to the size of the company at the time (≈50 interns?) and had lots of structure (events/talks/classes/group projects/etc) like you would expect from a big tech company, not from a 300-person firm.

They were also willing to build a lot of tools in-house like their own build system[1], their own code reviews system[2], etc. Most people would see this as wasteful NIH but I'm convinced it was a net benefit for them—they managed to be so productive in an absolute sense and especially on a per-engineer basis because they were willing to build so much themselves, not despite it. I'm sure the same thing applied to their recruiting efforts.

The biggest thing I took away from my internship was how much conventional wisdom in the software world was not necessary or true.

Every year, for about 10 years, I have spent a month's holiday in Greece, in the Cyclades, in Crete.

Visiting Greece, especially the more remote regions, is an experience that I recommend to everyone.

It is a journey into the past that only some regions of the world can still offer.

There are places in the Peloponnese where you can really breathe in the history. Lately I've been very interested in ancient (and not so ancient) Greek music.

It's not easy to find really original sounds (not heavy modernization) so this post is really welcome.

Thank you

It's not a huge barrier, but it's still a barrier. I have lots of infra using Helm/K8s, sometimes Docker. These .env files don't have `export` keywords in them.

So your suggestion is to munge these for local development. And you're okay with that barrier? That's terrible dx, and it adds surface area for bugs.

The comment on goldilocks zone feels right. TODO list apps are workflow improvement tools and each workflow will have a different set of required features. One example that caused me to build a small app of my own[1] was handling of tasks due "today". I procrastinate chores and stay up late. Many TODO apps would mark everything overdue at midnight, which isn't when the "day ended" for me.

Honest thoughts -- but you seem to be competing with the likes of Todoist[1] which is $4/mo. And if one is on the macOS, iOS, iPadOS, the Reminder App has become pretty powerful. I use a combination of Notes, Reminder, and Plain-text (Markdown in Obsidian with an Outliner Plugin). Repeatable -- either show done items or make it a repeat reminder.

Sure, but even if you hire a property management company, multifamily ownership is not really passive like owning SPY.

There is the potential for lots of sleepless nights and stress. Also, you may need to contribute capital unexpectedly if repairs are needed or vacancy is higher than expected.

The last few years in multifamily are NOT normal. Appreciation and rent growth are not straight lines up and the rough times can be very rough indeed. But, history tells us that if you can hold and maintain a property for at least 7 years, you should not lose money.
It does, as the rebuttal to your argument is that corporations will move jobs no matter if there are Unions or not and no matter if the unions are powerful or not, and your example illustrates just that.

Heheheh. Well I guess we're getting down into the weeds now and into the aesthetics of it which are nevertheless personal.

To me, it's obscene and ugly. Over the top. 4 isn't so magic when you realize that the middle button is normally considered the 3rd after the first and second buttons. And when you stretch those values into a bit field, with zero representing nothing, it's natural that the middle (or aux button) will occupy 4.

Hahaha! :) At least to my thinking. Hahaha :)

What do you think? :)
I haven't done deep reading on LLM architectures and I don't really know if LLMs have logits in the traditional sense of a CNN or something, but I think the problem with this is that the LLM's logits would have absolutely no bearing on it's confidence of the location being correct, only on it's confidence that the tokens making up the answer it provides follow from the tokens that were encoded from the provided image, which isn't the same thing.

I have a small side project called AutoPTT [1]. It's a Windows app for voice communications, mostly aimed at gamers. It can press and/or release your push-to-talk key automatically based on voice activity because not all software/games support voice activation natively.

The reason I made it was the reason I make most things: because I needed it myself. Making it was not that difficult, though I must admit I've never been too fond of Windows C/C++ APIs.

I have a feeling that the website could use some work. It's certainly not flashy, and mostly just text. Would appreciate any feedback :)
