Ah yes, the real deal.

How's that self driving coming along?

How about the Cybertruck being a few years late?

How about the low cost car being cancelled?

How about the you have all the hardware you need - oh wait oopsie you need to pay us thousands more

How about the taking Tesla private tweet?

How about the repeatedly and flagrantly violating government contracts that are basically his company's only revenue because he's too powerful for consequences?

How about...

Definitely the real deal.

> if workers’ well-being are your main consideration (admirable), we should be moving away from coal as quickly as possible.

I'm pro renewables and I'm happy to see the back of coal . . .

however ...

Australia is the second biggest biggest exporter of coal, uses no child labour, is heavily mechanised with a small number of workers compared to tonnage moved, has excellent worker conditions in terms of safety, paid overtime, holidays, etc.

You point appears to be based in some Appalachian romance notion of tunneling out coal with pickaxes and coal carts pulled by children.

I'm not sure what RMS has to do with Altman. I'm also not sure why you think people just want to hate on Musk when it took a decade of his blatant lies for most people to catch on to the fact that he's a conman (remember, everyone loved him and Tesla for the first 5 or 10 years of lies). But the comparison between Musk and Altman is pretty apt, good job there.

As I understand it, the game around functions like this is to get as close to infinity as you can, but not quite, and then to try to uncover properties about what you find there.

I'm under the impression that it's a certain kind of fun because the results are all way too large to work with computationally, so rather than comparing the values (which you can't calculate directly) you have to reason about the various algorithms that yield them.

That's all I got. The gust of the post is greek to me. I wish I had more computer science and less software engineering under my belt. Then maybe this could be my kind of fun too.

You would have to try harder to drink too little water, because your body regulates hydration by getting thirsty, under normal conditions. Overhydration can lead to significant consequences such as heart failure and urinary tract abnormalities. Excess water consumption can cause hyponatremia, which is an independent risk factor for bone fractures.

"Staying hydrated" means to match the body's needs, not more, not less. Like with all other silly hypes (antioxidants, electrolytes, vitamin supplements, etc. etc.), too much is potentially harmful. It is a hype, because it's so easy to say "stay hydrated" and it seems like an uncontroversial thing, but it can be just as harmful as dehydration. In fact, among e.g. long distance runners, severe complications from overhydration are more common than severe complications from dehydration.

When the reaction is "it doesn't matter, it's still not ok to copy someone's voice and then market it as being that person's voice or related to that person's voice" and your reaction is to cast that as being something else, it demonstrates you are not openly approaching things in good faith.
What an absurd statement. Over hydration has to go WAY over to compete with the dangers of under hydration.
We had a Samsung washing machine that failed (leak killed control board, something that isn't uncommon with that model) and we were a few months out of warranty. They said the warranty period wasn't a problem and offered a hefty discount on other Samsung products as well, including a TV we were already considering. Control board got replaced and the machine is back in action.

Arguable whether something obvious like a washing machine being able to leak and kill a critical bit of internal hardware is good enough though...
Completely untrustworthy.

I have a Likebook e-ink android device and it's great, except for the fact that I can't trust the software at all.

I don’t know why, but these probably-useless-results (which frankly I don’t 100% understand) intrigue me more than the incredibly-useful LLM advances. I guess because I’m naturally drawn to “simple” mathematical truths more than “messy” engineering results.

This is interesting.

How can you retrieve the latent representation of the candidate LLMs? Some models do not have open weights (such as GPT-4), which means AFAIK it is impossible to directly access the hidden latent space through their API.

We are all capable of interpreting his statement and forming an opinion about its intent. Indeed, the entire point of making any statement is for others to form an opinion about it. That doesn't make our opinion invalid - nor does the whining and backpedaling of the person who made the statement.

indeed! and perhaps the reason the colonialist industrial military juggernaut spared some of the world for decades (and never quite reached, for example, ethiopia or the andaman islands) was the outdated tactics of officers like custer, whose deaths opened up the ranks to younger officers who intuitively understood industrialized warfare
Your specific circumstances don't change the general rule, which is that for most people and under most conditions, hydration status is correctly balanced by thirst. There are indeed exceptions, such as when getting older, which I addressed in my initial comment.

I recall Zhukov didn’t think they could have won without the Wests help in supplying things like Steel, regardless of machismo from later USSR leaders who claimed they always had it all under control. FDRs death was gravely mourned in the Soviet Union. Stalin praised the allies for distracting them with the invasion of Italy.

The USSR did the most in that war but they were not in fact capable of winning by themselves.
That would seem to be irrelevant to the point.

Epic is only in around 1/3 of hospitals or a little under 1/2 of hospital beds (pick your favorite measure). Cerner and Athena are other big ones. Usually a regional provider tends to go with one so some regions may seem to be all Epic and others all Cerner but overall Epic is far from a national system rather just the one with plurality.

Coming from healthcare IT (and actually at Ascension for a stint) and working with Epic, Cerner, and Athena I'll say they aren't really strides different from each other in technology effectiveness. Ascension in particular is a mix. E.g. the Wisconsin region uses Epic but the Indiana region uses Athena with no plans for one system to take over all regions (very costly to migrate for little change in delivered value).

Ruby on Jets 6.0: Rails Support
I just replaced an iPhone X last year with a 15 that was still on the original battery. From my records, looks like I got it in early 2018, so pretty much 5 years. Admittedly for about the last year, that usable battery was largely completely depleted by the end of the day and it couldn't last through a heavy usage day without a top up. Realistically, replacing at year 4 probably would have been the smart move, I was mostly waiting to see if the 15 was going to be USB C before deciding.

Patriots have intercepted the hypersonic missiles (Kinzhal) before [1][2]. The S-400 is not as invincible as was touted -- there's plenty of evidence of successful drone and missile strikes against Russia by Ukraine. And Ukraine is still flying aircraft.

Russia's production isn't almighty either. They purchased millions of artillery rounds from North Korea for a reason [3].

And I think a big thing to remember is that NATO has tons of weapons, they just don't have tons of the weapons that are being used in the Ukraine war.
The U.S. only fired ~34,000 155MM artillery rounds during the Iraq War (Second Persian Gulf War). [4]

And yet at the time the US had millions of cluster bombs in stockpiles [5]

The Ukraine war definitely seems to be a wakeup call on western munition production rates and how mass artillery is still important to modern warfare but I don't think that means Russia would really stand a chance against NATO.

The real reason the conflict (hopefully) will never happen is nuclear bombs.

> Johansson is a super successful actress and no doubt rejects 95% of roles offered to her

> She doesn't need "go away" payments

> According to celebrity net worth website, SJ is worth $165M.

I have no idea what Johansson's estimated net worth, or her acting career have to do with this? Wealthy people sue all the time for all kinds of ridiculous things.

The voice is, in fact, not Johansson. Yet, it appears she will be suing them non-the-less...

It's not illegal to sound like someone else - despite what people might be claiming. If it turns out to be true that Sky's voice actor was recorded prior to the attempted engagement with Johansson, then all of this is extra absurd.

Also, Sky doesn't sound like Johansson anyway... but apparently that isn't going to matter in this situation.

If you can back that up with a source, please do so. In any case, my point isn't about margins. My point is that you get thirsty if you need to drink more water. With some exceptions, such as old age.

Drinking too much water is harmful. Drinking too little water is harmful. You want a proper hydration balance, and in most circumstances—with several exceptions—this is well regulated by thirst. All of this is well documented and none of this is should be controversial at all.
Representing Sonority in a Typeface
The irony of the big-P-Personal Computer becoming something that the user doesnt really control, and uses simply as a dumb device to consume computing on someone else's terms, is not lost on me.

Windows 365 I'm sure will be wonderful for some people. But we're back to people getting the computing that other people decide they get, like IBM and their mainframe priesthood in 1975. It makes me a little sad.
Nice! This is really neat. I love e-paper but like many others in this thread, wish it was better. This seems to be a really good alternative. I had to pause at the price though.
I wish it had page turn buttons.

I bought an Oasis entirely because of the buttons. Once again Amazon has killed their only reader with buttons.

They clearly don’t care much about Kindles in general, they’ve had software issues like missing features forever that Amazon doesn’t care about fixing.

This lacks ghosting, the screen and CPU are fast enough not to be obnoxious when doing literally anything (low bar, but Kindle). It’s USB-C, and since it runs Android apps it runs the Kindle app.

But no page turn buttons. I get those don’t matter for a normal tablet, but to me their do for an e-reader. I guess it’s just as well, they probably wouldn’t work in the Kindle app anyway.
I was on there when it was just Mastodon.social. It was more vibrant then, and it's been more vibrant in recent memory, before it rocketed to 2m users and started falling. Something is different, and it's not good. I think people who've been there are getting fed up with problems no one seems to care about years on (even people like me who kept giving it chances and pushing for change), and new people are going somewhere else instead of trying Mastodon.

You can stick your head in the sand if you want and hope the year-long freefall stops rather than consider there might be a problem. It's what I've come to expect.
Thanks for the recommendations! I checked them both out, but for me iTerm is still a better fit. I think of my Mac terminal as my viewer into the lower level, and not as the lower level, and the batteries-included approach that iTerm takes (e.g. having a UI for manipulating the settings file) is better aligned with that view.

FWIW, they both seem extremely performant and would probably be a great fit if I daily-drove Linux.

Threats to the International Criminal Court [pdf]
The song "New Math" is actually funny to listen to, I think most people don't pay attention to what's happening in it. In the first verse, he's mocking the idea of teaching kids the concept of borrowing, as if it's a bizarre and confusing concept that almost no one would understand. He was completely wrong, of course, and it's the way almost everyone - at least in the U.S. - does subtraction now.

The "right" way that he presents at the beginning of the song is a way that I've never encountered anyone doing. It's actually fairly interesting:

> Consider the following subtraction problem, which I will put up here: 342 minus 173. Now, remember how we used to do that…Three from two is nine, carry the one, and if you’re under 35 or went to a private school you say seven from three is six but if you’re over 35 and went to a public school you say eight from four is six, and carry the one, and we have 169.

"Three from 2 is 9, carry the one"; it seems to be a completely algorithmic way of doing the calculation, where you end up with the right answer at the end, but it's completely detached from what's actually happening. Tom Lehrer - a math teacher, it should be noted - was mocking the idea of teaching people what was actually happening with subtraction. We see a similar thing today, where people mock the idea of teaching math concepts with Common Core because they think people should just use an algorithm to get the answer, even if they don't understand what's happening.
People have been talking about this since at least the 1970s, but no existing reactors have high enough temperatures. There are various concepts on paper that could do it.

> "things that are reasonable to a lawyer" and "things that are reasonable to a normal human being" are essentially disjoint sets.

In litigation, any question whether X was "reasonable" is typically determined by a jury, not a judge [0].

[0] That is, unless the trial judge decides that there's no genuine issue of fact and that reasonable people [1] could reach only one possible conclusion; when that's the case, the judge will rule on the matter "as a matter of law." But that's a dicey proposition for a trial judge, because an appeals court would reverse and remand if the appellate judges decided that reasonable people could indeed reach different conclusions [1].

[1] Yeah, I know it's turtles all the way down, or maybe it's circular, or recursive.
With the predator, you're controlling a large, expensive aircraft flying at higher altitudes. But with these cheap $250 flying bricks, you're directly controlling the bullet.

You don't have to worry about stalling, latency, accuracy etc.. they are also harder to shoot down because of their size and speed.

So they simply select targets like a moving vehicle or a bunker or even a group of moving people, and go kamikaze.
Yea, a lot of them are pretty high flow due to the density of heat generated. Most are consuming 100-200watts, and that has to all come out as heat!
> Otherwise you have a perfect workaround that would mean a person likeness is free-for-all to use, but we already decided that is not acceptable

That is not decided. There have been high profile cases were someone's likeness was explicitly used without permission, and they still had no recourse. It was argued the person was notable enough they could not protect their likeness.

Regardless, it appears debated if Sky even sounded like Johansson, which will make this very difficult for anyone to argue (being subjective and all). If the Sky voice actor was recorded prior to engaging with Johansson (which has been claimed by OpenAI), then it seems even more difficult to argue.

In the end, this will net Johansson a nice "go away" payday and then everyone will forget about it.
That's only if we don't hit a wall in scaling the sensitivity of measuring gravitational effects and the size at which we can cause quantum behaviors.

At least right now, there's still a pretty big gap between the largest QM objects and the smallest objects with detectable gravitational effects.
>>I wish it had page turn buttons.

I had the same thought, and then I realized that they claim to have customizable "action buttons" which supposedly can be used to turn the page if that's the action that was configured. They seem to be on the top and not on the side, but at least two of them are there.

If you could throw some more light on the steps ... appreciate that!
Hm... I think there are things with one sided uncertainty, that make the ops example possible.

For example, things rarely start before they're scheduled, so if you know something is supposed to happen at 5 and last an hour, it's reasonable to assume it will be happening at 5:10, so if it's 4:59 right now, you're more certain that it will happen in 11 minutes than in one minute.

Of course, as time progresses your uncertainty curve flattens out (at 5:09 you're pretty certain it'll happen any moment now), but that's only in the future.

Even then, it's quite reasonable to say that there's no time leading up to the event where you're more confident it will start imminently than you're confident it will be occurring further out.
