Why is it an argument for an effect being real that a lot of people have personal stories about it? For instance, a lot of people have stories about mentioning a niche interest while using certain software and that interest later appearing in Google results. That can happen for reasons related to statistics and confirmation bias. Consequently, a lot of people have stories. So what? Some software spies, some doesn't, the rumors aren't how we tell the difference, and "scientifically and anecdotally" is a terrible phase, as if those things were of equivalent merit. Lots of people have stories about bigfoot.

O type stars don’t last long they’re large and so burn fuel faster and are far brighter.
However, if these two stars evolved as a binary system, the black hole star would have been brighter to have gone through a super nova first.

Can an O type star still be an O type star after its close neighbour blows up and produces a black hole?

It couldn’t be a stellar capture could it, the capture would need to lose a huge amount of relative velocity.

Xiaomi claims five years of security updates for upper range models that came out last year. Specifically I am thinking about Xiaomi 13T which a couple of my friends use. Their newer phones no longer allow unlocking the bootloader, though.

I've been using a five year old hand-me-down 9T and it was recently updated to Android 14 with security patch from May this year. (Thanks to Lineage, of course — the official support ended in 2021).
Johansson is a super successful actress and no doubt rejects 95% of roles offered to her, just as she rejected Altman's request to be the voice of ChatGPT.

She doesn't need "go away" payments, and in any case that is not what we're looking at here. OpenAI offered her money to take the part, and she said no.

What an obnoxious rhetorical technique you are engaging in.

>Horray! You agree with me that everyone in the situation is completely in the clear because she isn't saying that her voice is that, and she isn't going around repeating movie lines, or dressing up as her.

I never said she represented she's ScarJo. It is OpenAI that did these representations and that's why ScarJo's attorney reached out to them. I have never said the voice actor did anything wrong and I have clarified this with you several times.

>Also, here is an opinion from some who actually seems to know what they are talking about, and has legal experience:

I know exactly what I'm talking about and I'm an attorney. Of course I don't expect you to do anything with this fact but to try and shove it back in my face.

>And you, the not lawyer are not in agreement with an actual expert on the matter.

I am a lawyer, read my comment history if you'd like. Yawn. The person you are quoting is just providing their own characterization of the issue, but there is no actual right of the voice actress that is being violated. It is her customers that have a constraint, she's free to work as she pleases. Of course she can't on her own pretend to be ScarJo to profit off of it, but nobody accused her of that.

>But whatever. I am more than happy to come back to you and your comments later, when either a lawsuit doesn't happen, or openAI wins. (They haven't even been sued yet!). That way I can have proof that you were wrong on this. I will let you know.

I'm absolutely right about this, I can promise you that much.
For AI research groups: funding (venture capital, mostly) -> hardware that can be bought -> amount of compute that can be done. Efficiency improvements likely means: 'heavier' models deployed.

For end-user applications: as determined by that applications' constraints. Like TDP or battery life on a smartphone. Or (for subscription based online services): there's a price tag attached, and someone picks up the bill.

So, long-term it'll probably depend on how many useful applications are developed. If changing society completely, then sure expect a continuing stream of $$ to be thrown at the required compute. If mostly a hype, that $$ will quickly dry up.
Well, she actually did say "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska." So, it's pretty close to a real thing Palin said.
New Math was a response to the Soviet lead in the space race. It was thought that introducing more abstract concepts, like different bases and set theory, would help kids grok math more.

It was a fool's game. Just like every other "innovation" in mathematics education since, up to and including Common Core (one of which you probably encountered). At the elementary school level, the only way to increase math proficiency is drilling. Drill the basic math facts and standard algorithms until the kid knows them by heart and can do problems as easily as breathing. Only then will they be ready for the higher level, conceptual stuff.

The Soviets were ahead in math and science because they drilled their kids harder. Any kid who didn't want to drill was a traitor to the working class. (Were I a right-wing conspiracy theorist, I'd say New Math and its successors were Soviet psyops designed to sabotage math education in order to weaken the west. Instead I think it's more likely a psyop by the bourgeoisie to make us more compliant and exploitable slaves through mass innumeracy.)

No surprise, then, that today, when Americans really want their kids to learn math, they use the curriculum from a country where they cane you for minor infractions. They use Singapore Math. Math is hard, and hard things can only be mastered through discipline.

It's intended to be used as a scope within which the default attachment point for constants is not the Object class but instead the `NameSpace` instance that the `require` call was made on.

Most people are talking about how this would allow you to require multiple versions of the same library (each in its own NameSpace), but I think that would be a bad use of it. I don't remember the last time I had a problem with conflicting libraries in Ruby, and I think the last time I did I just forked the offending library.

A more interesting use case is to have a framework like Rails use it to define namespaces for files without those files having to constantly refer to the name of the namespace they're in. That's something that's bugged me anyway.

Sort of an interesting argument, I suppose. Militarily Russia is heavily outclassed by the West. But perhaps that’s why they’re engaging in information warfare: western populations are weary of war and with sufficient prodding Russia can keep the major western powers away from their conflict.

I feel like I’m playing Civilization again.
> the Soviets were already at ~10,300 in 1939, and the Germans at ~8,200. How were they able to do it?

The US was pursuing a largely isolationist foreign policy, and was not investing in armaments.

The USSR had, between 1917, and 1939:

* Spent six years fighting an incredibly brutal and bloody civil war.

* Was attacked by Poland in ~1920.

* Spent another decade putting down various secession movements, mostly in central Asia.

* Had multiple minor conflicts with China and Japan.

* Was heavily involved in the Spanish Civil War.

* Also needed a strong, standing army to put down any further internal resistance.

* Could smell which way the wind was blowing, and was ready to capitalize on German's ambitions in Europe, by taking its chunk of Poland (And later invading Finland).

Given all that, it was functioning on a war economy pretty much from ~1917 to 1941. (At which point it transitioned to a total war economy.)

This was all in the context of a strong central push for mass industrialization. Steel production alone increased ~5x between 1930 and 1940. Up until the Nazis took power, the USSR worked very closely on both industrialization, and military armament with Weimar Germany. Krupp was building factories in the Don, and future Luftwaffe pilots were being trained in Lipetsk.
And many people aka customers in the US didn’t want that.

He better not quit his day job as a graphics programmer. Act on press is a terrible design the vast majority of time and almost always has unintended consequences and is incompatible with other interactions, such as disambiguating something that can be clicked but also dragged.

> it reduces user errors

Act on press significantly increases user error because in most cases, it is not the norm, so when it shows up, users take actions they didn't mean to. I can't stand it when a button is act on press.

> and it is good UI design to favor them when possible

Saving tens of milliseconds in a button press does not automatically correlate to good UI design. Saving time is the only justification he gave, which is what you'd expect out of a graphics engine programmer. And he just suggested before this line that it would be good to have mixed behaviors, which makes no sense.

Yes, but then Microsoft haven't signed the driver, and it won't have the correct hardware root of trust to decode the key, so it will fail and the service will fallback to a less secure mechanism which is why services will normally limit the resolution of the content delivered via those mechanisms to 720p or less.
Because Wrights Law, it may have gotten cheaper earlier is true, but not illuminating, is the way I'd put it concisely.

We're saying "what if power curve was evaluated at f(x + N) instead of f(X), where N is govt expenditure."

I'm listening, but not learning, and am just left with questions, because it begs questions.

N wasn't and isn't 0, so there's innumerable questions about N and it's magnitude relative to X, and Fs change.

is similarly, true, but not illuminating, perhaps even shading.

The irony of his mom being on the Board of Advisors of Stanford University’s Ethics is astounding.

And the Debtors allege that Joseph Bankman directed “donations of more than $5.5 million” to Stanford University in an attempt to “curry favor with and enrich his employer at the FTX Group’s expense.”
History such as how we needed Israel as opposition to other countries that would potentially align with the USSR? The USSR that no longer exists?

Interesting that it says 1927 before any mention of the Golden Gate Bridge - has it already decided that it needs Michael Jackson to have been born before it opened in order for its bridge-focused narrative to make sense?
I want to say that "I remember having this experience", but of course I don't remember it at all! What I do remember is having a laugh about it afterward with the friend who drove me home, because I had apparently kept asking him the same questions and making the same remarks, over and over. Quite an odd state to be in.
If you give it a reward for not mentioning the bridge or announce severe punishment for mentioning it, and then tell it to evaluate itself while writing, it will suffer a lot on some topics. Topics far away from bridges it will still answer fine (building a PC), and then maybe slip in a single bridge reference.

But asking for the countries in the European Union, it'll only list counties around the bridge. It then realizes it has failed, tries again, and fails again hard. Over and over. It's very lucid and can clearly still evaluate that it's going off, what it's doing wrong, but it just can't help itself, like an addict. I really don't like anthropomorphizing LLMs, it was borderline difficult to see how much it was struggling in some instances.

They create a single-file queue, with what is supposed to be a strict linear sorting. Instead of a group, you get a boarding number from A1 through C60. There's some flexibility in this, generally most people don't mind #44 going before #40, but you won't be able to line up or board after person #11 if your boarding card says #56. The gate agent will make you go to your correct place in line. Since it's a single-aisle plane, they run everyone through a single ticket reader, and thus have a point of enforcement.

I have one, and a sub slab Radon abatement system. My levels were pretty high for a basement and that was how I learned about Radon. You're 100% correct about that there is no safe level of Radon exposure. The international community decided on "safe levels" because the cost of abatement is far and away from what many countries can afford, but I think they're moving to the "no safe levels" definition this year.

> Awkward UX

Yep, UX design is all about tradeoffs. So it's important to ask: What is more important to have UX polish? Uninstalling apps, something that happens rarely for most users? Or launching an app, which most users do dozens or hundreds of times every single day?

Adding a couple of taps to the uninstall workflow, whether it be a settings screen or a way to switch the app list into a select-to-manipulate mode, seems like a good enough UX for less common tasks if the percieved responsiveness of the device is improved.

This is impressive, well done. I didn't find it on the roadmap, but do you plan to add support for local LLM models like llama3?

A VC fund is set up explicitly to operate this way. Investors know what they’re getting into; investors are the customer and are aware of the risks. They know they’re gambling.

FTX was supposedly a safe place to exchange funds, the customers were uninformed as to the risks they were taking. In fact they were encouraged to believe the risks were low. They did not know they were gambling.

It’s really different.

Indeed. Another advantage of this tablet over Remarkable is that it should be possible to set up synchronization with many more cloud services, including Nextcloud. Remarkable is limited to the biggest commercial cloud providers.
I bought a remarkable. But then a 2 years later had to sell it because my kid was running around and fiddling with my things. I could give my kid the Kindle and will have peace of mind that he can't break, even if he tries. Remarkable is just need a drop on the floor.

How rugged and heavy is your tablet? If it's easily breakable, do you have any future plans to make a tiny, small phone sized light weight paper tablet which one can pull out of pocket like a notepad write stuff and put back, and most importantly have no care in the world of breaking it?
In my opinion, the logical assumption is that this spider species can't live for much more time than exactly that interval of time

The interesting point here to me is that it was not killed before. This suggests that it was able to fend off the wasps attacks for fourty years. I assume that hen died it was too weak (too old) to fight back. Another possibility is that it had moult recently and was too soft to defend itself.

Insects die soon because adult wings can't moult twice. Spiders don't have wings so they can moult indefinitely and became much much older than insects --but-- is easy to predict that (unlike jellyfishes), spiders can't live forever

We can be 100% sure of this empirically. We even could predict mathematically the life time span of each species, also if we would want it (again, in my opinion).
They can be visible with enough density, but it really depends on the pico-Curies and the window placement relative to sources.

People have mentioned censorship and advertising but I think this would be very attractive for political propaganda as well.
I'm well aware, but that's not what the commenter was referring to.
It looks at least very reasonable. It's rarely argued that Russia has a severe disadvantage in conventional armaments compared to the West, or even USA alone; even Russian sources periodically admit that openly. It's also rather clear at this point that the war is the war of attrition, so supplies basically determine the results. West doesn't even need to have particular political will - the robust supplies with armaments will do the trick without anything else. No particular sets of sanctions, no diplomatic masterpieces, no boots on the ground are needed - just enough of supplies to Ukrainian army.

This may be more problematic, though, than a combination of approaches. Which we see today. The combination, though, doesn't provide results particularly fast - it still is good, though, but not enough for reducing the war in time to some relatively short periods starting from now. Well, we're in the real world. It's not perfect.
