I'd seen these online and thought they were neat, but today I got to witness someone using one and it blew my mind how comprehensively they were taking notes, acting on them, editing, and keeping their thinking organised. I've owned an iPad and it failed to shine here, but as the person told me about the reMarkable it became more obvious that by removing all other distractions and focusing on the best single experience possible, and coupled with a battery life of weeks and the ability to use it in bright sunlight and low light so easily, that a device so dedicated to a single purpose will outperform the arguably better and more capable device.

I needed that reminder, and have now ordered a reMarkable for myself and one for my partner (an academic).

I'm sharing just in case someone else also needed the reminder that a tool like this exists and quietly makes people happy and more effective with note taking and capturing thoughts.

Why don't I get to choose the voice I interact with. More and more it feels like "AI" is gonna be a 1%er gate-kept corporate curated "experience" with significant guard-rails and fences and walls and moats and signs telling me to keep off the grass.

The wealthy and powerful will again monopolize this power for their own benefit despite AI being the product of the sum of human technological civilization.
Same as before :')
Interesting quote towards the end...

> [Doug] said, though, that he found it “increasingly worrisome that these models [LLMs] train on CONVINCINGNESS rather than CORRECTNESS”

That's quite a neat encapsulation of the difference between CYC (or what I understand of it from that article) and today's GPTs.
Cause some of us want to write code instead of screw around endlessly configuring a text editor?
Great question! Nope they're not stuck with the simple LLM after the first question. Chatbots simply aggregate all prior conversation history in the input prompt, and make a new LLM call. The router treats each LLM call seperately, and so a single conversation can occur across many models and providers.
While scripts can provide a similar experience, without Niri or PaperWM the experience will be sub-par. Scrolling WMs amazing with a touchpad and now that Niri supports mouse, I believe it'll be a great experience.

I've been using Spacedesk on Windows with two old Android tablets. They're Samsung Note 2014s, super cheap, old enough that YouTube has stopped working, but they're 10" at 2560x1600 with good color.

With good wireless, the setup is reasonably performant, fast enough to move the mouse and type fluently. Certainly slower than USB monitors, but ideal to put some reading material on one screen (PDF or a browser window), and a text editor on the other while still using the main screen.

I also use them in portrait orientation 10:16, which is nice. Cheapest and most portable triptych setup there is, I guess.
"Apple could do something good with it, but since they aren't I turned mine into a monitor".

Classic. I bought a monitor for $80, plugged it in and 'It just worked'.

Here you have a hacker, watches one too many apple ads/marketing/astrotrufing doomscrooling, buys an ipad, and... makes a monitor out of it.

I suppose that is the second best thing you can do after being manipulated. I would have just resold it.
I'm gonna blow your mind here. Read about comparative advantage. As crazy as it sounds there might be reasons for Australia to ship coal and iron while China makes steel.

You gotta try PaperWM Gnome extension. It's hard for me to use Linux the normal way when PaperWM exists. It's very useful on a laptop because it gives you the feeling of having multiple monitors and makes window arrangement trivial.

The EU has a system that allows people to get an education, at their own pace, even after they have been adults for some time?

My situation was not a failure of our education system. I was just not in a situation that was stable and conducive to learning when I was young. Part of that was my parent’s fault, but they were doing the best they could; part of that was my fault, there are many things I could’ve approached differently.

Although we were poor by US standards at the time, I actually was on the edge of a great school district for most of my early education.

A school system was not going to fix the problems, both situational and self inflicted, that lead to my situation.

And there is no equivalent to what Khan Academy is doing that I am aware of. Part of the value is it has zero marginal cost, so anyone can use it. That’s actually the point. You don’t have to be in the EU to get a great education. You can be in Mauritania, as long as you have internet, you have a shot at receiving an education.
You're talking about this with benefit of hindsight. When I was selling at $869 I would not know how it will go. And, as a matter of fact, a week or two after I sold NVDA dipped to $700, although temporarily. So, it's just a matter of personal risk tolerance, I guess.
lol well sure, that too
Nobody said looking/sounding like someone else is "prosecutable", and this willfully obtuse reading is getting annoying.

Many people here, including you, seem to be under the impression that a person who sounds like a celebrity can, because they are not that celebrity, do whatever they want with their voice regardless of whether or not they seem to be passing off as or profiting from the persona of that celebrity. This is not the case.

When others point this out many people, again including you, then go "so you're saying the fact that someone sounds like a celebrity means they can't do anything with their voice - how absurd!", and that isn't the case either, and nobody is saying it.

This binary view is what I'm calling obtuse. The intent matters, and that is not clear-cut. There are some things here that seem to point to intent on OpenAI's part to replicate Her. There are other things that seem to point away from this. If this comes to a court case, a judge or jury will have to weigh these things up. It's not straightforward, and there are people far more knowledeable in these matters than me saying that she could have a strong case here.

People have now said this an absurd number of times and yet you seem to be insisting on this binary view that completely ignores intent. This is why I am calling it willfully obtuse.

If the above are misrepresentations of your argument then please clarify, but both seemed pretty clear from your posts. If instead you take the view that what matters here is whether there was intent to profit from Scarlett Johannson's public persona then we don't disagree. I have no opinions on whether they had intent or not, but I think it very much looks like they did, and whether they did would be a question for a court (alongside many others, such as whether it really does sound like her) if she were to sue, not that there is any indication she will.

Edit: And I should say IANAL of course, and these legal questions are complex and dependent on jurisdiction. California has both a statutory right and a common law one. Both, I think, require intent, but only the common law one would apply in this case as the statutory one explicity only applies to use of the person's actual voice. (That seems a bit outdated in today's deepfake ridden world, but given the common law right protected Midler from the use of an impersonator perhaps that is considered sufficient.)

I think this is the first time I've seen someone use text fragments in the wild.
Eventually it will tied to o365 subscription (or windows license subscription) is my guess. For now they just swallow the cost to get access to all data and use that data to improve Azure and GPT. Bing didn't make a profit for many years for example
That's not RAII, that's 'defer'. defer and context managers are both implementations of a subset of the kind of functionality you can get with RAII (the two missing parts are 1) allowing you to place an RAII object in part of a larger structure and have confidence it will actually be constructed and destructed correctly, and 2) allowing the representation of lifetimes which are more complex then just 'in this scope' via moves and copies).
I think that reaches too far. Intent should be a defining part of impersonation. IANAL and I don't know what the law says.

I reached out to Digicert at revoke@digicert.com. They responded almost immediately and directed me to Cloudflare's abuse report form, where I was met with a wall. Now I'm back to Digicert asking them to please revoke them.

If you're exclusively using AWS services, our product may not offer additional value. Our focus lies in heterogeneous environments such as multi-cloud deployments, hybrid cloud setups, on-premises infrastructure, and diverse network equipment vendors. We aim to centralize certificate management for entire organizations or, if you're a service provider, across multiple organizations. Our solution includes agents for Linux and Windows platforms to automate certificate discovery and replacement. Think about k8s certificates, vmware certificates and basically anything that is using a certificate and its expiry can lead to a downtime. Additionally, we ensure deployment consistency across multiple endpoints and provide detailed endpoint history regarding certificate chain and overall endpoint status.
How can you know which LLM is better for every specific question?

That is, how do you quantify "better"?

So the neural scoring introduces ~20ms latency, but this only impacts time-to-first-token (not inter-token-latency). When using our public endpoints there is an additional ~150ms latency, but you can deploy the router on-prem in your own cloud, so then it would only be the inference latency. Generally the improvements in ITL outweigh the small addition to TTFT.

Not entirely unrelated, but FPV drones are now the main weapon of the Ukraine war. They started using them against tanks, then groups of soldiers, but have now found that they are cost effective enough to go against individual soldiers.

The drone soldiers operate in small teams from underground bunkers close to the front from which they launch hundreds of drones a day, with different types of drones for different targets. The limiting factor is the amount of drones, Ukraine plans to build one million of them this year domestically.

Apart from jamming, there's not much to defend yourself against drones except staying underground, or moving fast enough that there is no time for you to be spotted and tracked. But drones can see kms away and move at hundreds of kmph, then go after you personally, even inside buildings, and even at night with infrared vision.

In an interview they asked a drone-ace how many ennemies he killed, he said he couldn't remember; "Do you remember how many cups of coffee you drank last year?".

I am not sure what to think about all this, but it is certainly fascinating
Thank you! I would literally make sure my back was to a corner so no one could see what was on my screen haha.

When I'm already on a laptop with a small screen, tiling only makes each app fight for screen estate. With Scrolling WMs, it's not an issue because it's just like switching to the second monitor by moving your mouse over to the other app. Now imagine instead of 2 monitors side-by-side, you could have infinite monitors. Not just side-by-side, what about stacked? Scrolling WMs come with vertical workspaces too!

You can still use a Scrolling WM to tile everything the way you would on a Tiling WM and that is where it shines. It's a fantastic solution to the screen estate problem, which tiling managers struggle with.

You're right that they are a bit different but I personally don't see the need for tiling when Scrolling WMs provide the same functionality (vertical and horizontal tiling + workspaces) as well :D
What's the downside of just reading the MFT? Why doesn't Microsoft do it in file explorer, and why wouldn't every tool use it instead of walking through the file system? Maybe there's no downside but it's such a huge speed boost that it would be weird to not use it otherwise, right?
Multiple workspaces satisfy this need for me a lot better. In fact, I'm pretty sure that they were invented with the idea of "having multiple monitors without having multiple monitors". A key detail is that I can organise windows on-screen however I want with ease, while also having windows on another workspace organised with a completely different layout. And I usually have 10 workspaces available.

Scrolling WMs are too "linear", so jumping to arbitrary locations becomes harder. E.g.: I can jump from workspace 1 to workspace 7 in O(1), but on a scrolling WM there's no equivalent action to jump right such a large, arbitrary distance.

Mind you, scrolling WMs still sound nice. If you don't _want_ multiple workspaces (or maybe just one or two), they'll likely work out better. They sound like a superb solution for a living room display or touch-only devices. In fact, I'm looking forward to experimenting with niri on my mobile phone.

Try Linux/Fedora intead.

Windows is really awful, and Macs are super limited in hardware. (It might work if you only do web dev)

Fedora is literally better than both. People are just so used to repeating the linux prayer of 'debian/ubuntu/mint', that most people don't know: Debian is an outdated/old distro with limited features and lots of bugs.

Fedora is up-to-date, loaded with codecs and drivers, works with Nvidia, and has a 10/10 pro-consumer experience.

Best Way to Learn Coding for Beginners
I've used this in the past, it's really great.
Sure! Basically traditional MoE has several linear layers, and the network learns to route down those paths, based on the training loss (similar to how CNNs learn through max-pooling, which is also non-differentiable). However, MoEs have been shown to specialiaze on tokens, not high-level semantics. This was eloquently explained by Fuzhao Xue, author of OpenMoE, in one of our reading groups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3QOpJA0A0Q&t=1547s

In contrast, our router sits at a higher level of the stack, sending prompts to different models and providers based on quality on the prompt distribution, speed and cost. Happy to clarify further if helpful!

Personally I find Python vastly overrated and nowhere near as easy as its proponents claim.

I think Python looks like an easy, simple, clear language if you grew up with Unix and C derivatives. I didn't. I am older than that, and when I was a teenager, Unix was a vastly expensive OS for high-end workstations. I never saw a physical Unix machine until I was about 17 and didn't get to try one until I was 20. (An IBM RT-PC running AIX 1.)

I come from an era of simpler, clearer OSes and languages, more user-focused and less aimed at developers. I preferred BASIC, Fortran and Pascal to the curly-braces family of languages.

I only wrote very simple programs in OPL in the early 1990s, but I found it much easier and more productive than Python, then or now.

As someone coming from a Tech background and has become deeply involved in education recently, I cannot agree more. There is just so much difference in terms of understanding education among people who have worked with children and people who have not.

For majority of the time the active 'response' from the student is 'no response'. Teachers are amazing at understanding silence and building conversation on silence.

Knowing the social background of the a student, and hence knowing realities of their hardships is the begining point of starting to enable a student who is laggning behind.

AI-tutors are(potentially) great, much like how videos are way better than reading books from a childs perspective, but it is far from innovation in education that few influencers are trying it to be.

I've been using a prompt management service (cloud) for 2 months and am pretty happy that I can define prompts and check quality outside the code, and it helps me to do the routing manually.

Having benchmarks (I assume this is ongoing?) would make it even more interesting, as I wouldn't have to manually manage the routing each time I add a new model.
