A big part of the ScarJo conversation is that OpenAI attempted to hire her on more than one occasion. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it has more to do with the context rather than the fact that it sounds like her. I listened to the released videos on twitter and, personally, I could imagine the voice not being ScarJo.

> Graphene describes itself as “The private and secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility”. Like yeah no shit you have Android app compatibility. YOU’RE FUCKING ANDROID. For some reason custom roms like to advertise themselves as their own OS that can run android apps. You’re not your own OS you’re just a distro of android. Quit trying to sound more unique than you are.

This is a little unfair.

Graphene does not come with any google apps installed by default (of course android itself is a google product, whether running calx, graphene, or lineage).

It gives you the option to install google apps like the play store, but these are installed like any other app. You can restrict permissions, deny internet access etc.
But they are totally optional.

Also, a nitpick, but these are all android, including lineage os.
Mediocre!
Based on my quick and dirty benchmarking, it's similar in terms of performance. The vector comparison is consistent, the unpacking comparison is about 1.5x faster if it can exit early, but 4x slower otherwise.

>The government subsidizes corporate low wage work

But importantly only the lowest of the low wages

There is a huge swath of workers that can't get benefits like food stamps or medicaid because they don't qualify via the means testing formula and they can't really afford to live where they live, afford medical insurance etc.

Its those folks that have it the worst, IMO. Cost of living keeps you from building any wealth, even in the form of cash savings, but the government has arbitrarily decided you make too much or some other form of disqualification[0].

To add insult to injury, means testing[2] often costs more than the cost of fraud in social benefit programs! Not to mention, the biggest fraudsters with Medicaid are providers not recipients.

EDIT: To those whom have questions on the fact that means test cost more than the fraud of social benefit programs, Last Week Tonight did a break down on Medicaid[3] (linked to below) that explains all this better than I can.

[0]: often by declaring some aspect of the filing paperwork invalid or the beneficiary unresponsive, more often than not due to errors by the agency rather than the individual(s)[1]

There have been lots of empirical studies of UBI and the evidence from them is pretty clear that… they don't actually affect employment much either way.

> to limit power draw (and heat)

Yes. Did you ever been in an actual DC and handled 10G-T cables and ports?

They are hot, even in the DC with HVAC running below 20°C.

And there is only one type of the systems which can easily accept that amount amount of heat - the desktop *ATX systems, for which you can just go and buy a 10G PCI-E card.

For everything else the amount of heat is too much.

We collectively bear the blame for allowing a system where government subsidizes shareholders and the wealthiest owners of these companies by not paying a living wage.

In this case, these are Amazon government subsidies by way of the disadvantaged. "Why are consumers receiving low prices and shareholder profits more important than workers receiving a wage they can survive on?" seems to be a question no one wants to answer.

I promped ChatGPT as follows

I have a logical puzzle. I want you to write code for solving it using an SAT (or SMT) solver of your choice.

"Question 2: Amit, Bharati, Cheryl, Deepak, and Eric are five friends sitting in a restaurant. They are wearing caps of five different colours — yellow, blue, green, white and red. Also, they are eating five different snacks — burgers, sandwiches, ice cream, pastries, and pizza.

The person wearing a red cap is eating pastries.
Amit does not eat ice cream, and Cheryl is eating sandwiches.
Bharati is wearing a yellow cap and Amit wearing a blue cap.
Eric is eating pizza and is not wearing a green cap."

It gave me python code for solving the problem using pysmt. Each constraint it added had a nice little comment referring back to the problem statement. After correcting a trivial typo, the code ran and produced the correct answer.

So in other words, LLM's are already almost powerful enough to use and integrate with a symbolic approach.

It's one of numerous errors in the article that demonstrate Dempsy has fundamental misunderstandings about the stuff she is writing about, which is hilarious given she is routinely and extensively complemented (by people who know nothing about aviation) for her "excellent analysis".

She never even mentions the ultimate cause of the crash: Antonov's design required dual grounds, but the factory in Poland modified the design to group the grounds together, without realizing or caring about the implications.

It's right in the UK DoT crash report - page 30 - and on the summary of the crash on the BAAA's website, which is in the first 6 google results for the crash. It would probably be higher except her article and copies of it on reddit are taking up the first couple of hits now.

Best Practices for Extracting Data from Court Filings with AI?
I’m working on a project for a law firm to automate the extraction of relevant details from lengthy and disorganized monthly court filings. Initial attempts with models like ChatGPT haven’t delivered the needed accuracy and often miss critical details.

Given this challenge, I’m unsure whether fine-tuning a model is required here or if adopting a RAG approach would be effective enough. Does anyone have experience with similar data extraction tasks? What techniques or models would you recommend to improve accuracy and reliability in this context? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A Critical Theory of (Or for) America
I haven't really thought it through but off the top of my head 250m from a house just passing by seems reasonable, and maybe something like 750-1000m for biouvacking? No one (who wants the right to roam in the wilderness) desires to roam around the suburbs, and having some reasonable limits like 250m/1000m would prevent people from doing that. It would prevent people from entering tracts of land that are even a few acres in size. When I think "the right to roam" I am thinking about places with vast tracts of wilderness. Think some "ranches" in the American West, though could be tens of thousands of acres of land not really used for much besides grazing cattle. No one advocating for the right to roam wants to camp in your backyard.

> that violate the very complicated 3/5/0 rule

Is it actually complicated? There’s only the rule of 0 - either your class isn’t managing resources directly & has none of the 5 default methods defined explicitly (destructor, copy constructor/assignment, move constructor/assingment), or it manages 1 and exactly 1 resource and defines all 5. Following that simple rule gives you exception safety & perfect RAII behavior. Of all the things in C++, it seemed like the most straightforward rule to follow mechanically.

BTW, the rule of 3 is from pre-C++11 - the addition of move construct/move assignment makes it the rule of 5 which basically says if you define any of those default ones you must define all of them. But the rule of 0 is far stronger in that it gives you prescriptive mechanical rules to follow for resource management.

It’s much easier to do RAII correctly in Rust because of the ecosystem of the language + certain language features that make it more ergonomic (e.g. Borrow/AsRef/Deref) + some ownership guarantees around moves unless you make the type trivially copyable which won’t be the case when you own a resource.
100% agree. I actually messaged him in a good will on LinkedIn in a sense: "hello, I made a nice little pomodoro timer, do you like it?" and I hoped he might share it with his community. Instead I got a reply to take it down otherwise his lawyers will be getting in touch. It's all free, I don't make any money out of it.
GitBash is a POSIX environment that includes the titular bash, and it doesn't include bc, which is a direct counterexample to your original assertion. Lots of people who are stuck on windows for one reason or another still want or need to use bash, and that's why they use GitBash!

Clearly, if Amber did not have a dependency upon bc, it could then potentially provide value to those users.
A person with no skills wouldn't be able to support themselves regardless of the number of kids.

And I suppose that's ultimately the problem: through a combination of technological advances, which automate much unskilled labor, and a broken incentive structure in many social welfare programs, which disincentivize investment in human capital (because of the "benefit cliff"), a larger and larger underclass of unemployable[0] people grows.

[0]: meaning, the economic value of their labor output is less than the minimum cost to employ them.
That makes makes sense, so there is limited access, but not permissive for open public access.
It was better than Raising Steam at least, in my opinion. Some characters in that are unrecognisable.

His biography _A Life With Footnotes_ by his assistant describe how the last books were made. Pratchett would still have moments of clarity when he would dictate whole scenes in an almost finished state, but he wasn't able to tie them together into a whole anymore. That was mostly done by an editor. And large parts of the book are only sketches of a plot that he would have kept editing and expanding over and over normally, but there wasn't time.

I still thought it worked as a fitting end for many characters.

The complaint about having to download the map seems unreasonable too.

It downloads the world map and then the local map and you're done. Generally the local map for an area is like 50 to 100MB from memory.

Perhaps they are in a very remote location with slow internet and no map data, but downloading the lineage ROM would be a lot slower than downloading a single map.

He was paid that by Amazon investors, who basically want to give him money because he's Jeff Bezos. If the warehouse workers owned the shares, those investors would have to want to give just as much money to them, but it doesn't seem like they do.

(Clearer case is Elon, who is pretty obviously super rich entirely because a lot of people want to specifically give him money. They're investor celebrities.)

A somewhat similar thing I ran into is that existing Clojure code can be incredibly difficult to grok if you don't already know the language very well.

Some of this comes from lisp's minimalist syntax, which makes it hard to even know what kind of thing you're looking at when you're encountering a new thing for the first time. But the problem is also compounded by some of Clojure's more distinctive (and powerful) features such as ad-hoc polymorphism and using maps to pass function arguments.

The closest analogy from imperative languages that I can think of is another language that's famous for being incredibly productive in the hands of a skilled user, but whose code tends to feel kind of write-only: Perl.
Basically, do you want a pipeline/process that utilizes LLMs and provides exactly the output you want? How do you formalize a human expert workflow using LLMs? With LLMOps. It is new, there is no standard or predefined resource that I'm aware of. At neuralnetes we are creating all of our methods ad hoc and use tight feedback loops to ensure ideal, precise output.
It's okay for some areas and activities to be more dangerous. "Completely inaccessible" is banning access for safetyism.

Decades of deaths in activities like backcountry skiing staying relatively flat while the numbers of people doing those activities exploding would go directly against your assertion that people are more reckless and stupid in the social media age than they were in the past.

If things like the Keyhole route are outside of your risk tolerance, that's a perfectly valid and rational decision. I'd encourage you not to do them. That doesn't mean no one else should be allowed to take risks you don't.

Another neat thing is that these functions are n-ary, and that includes 0 args. So (+) => 0 (additive identity) and (*) => 1 (multiplicative identity). Little things like this are missing from languages like Python and make functional programming worse than it should be.

I think the comment means, "I can't evaluate whether the code is safe" – not, "I just don't want to." And my whole point is, that's not true. :-)
