As a long-time Mac user, I'm actually eager to switch to Windows: more hardware innovation happening with more options in that ecosystem (e.g. in dual screen laptops like Asus Zenbook Duo). Windows has a few rough edges but my usage is dominated by the browser and terminal, which are similar on both Mac and Windows. Great to see these ARM-on-TSMC benefits of performance and battery life land in the Windows ecosystem.
> Awareness, transmission, what precisely is the difference?

In the first one you see issues in yourself or someone else that you learn later match some diagnosis. In the second one you gain those issues that you didn't have earlier. I've been diagnosed and improved my life exactly because enough people discussed some symptoms that I could say "hey, that's the same as my problems! (that existed for decades before)"

I'm sure you could gain some issues, and empathic illnesses are a thing. But disregarding the difference here would be harmful.

I hate everything automatic on my car. Rain sensing wipers activate in dry weather, and then not when it's raining. Climate control does what it wants, I freeze or sweat or have fog on the windshield because it's not directing any air there. Automatic transmission hunts up and down on a hilly road.

I want a car with manual transmission, manual wipers, manual climate control settings, and manual radio. Unfortunately they are not sold unless you buy one that's 30 years old.
Why would the local police want to get involved in (and hence ‘responsible’) for that kind of diplomatic cluster fuck?
There’s plenty of people in Europe in the 30-50 age bracket that aren’t on any social media. Many people from extremely wealthy families or careers in finance, consulting, medicine, law, law enforcement, military and the judicial branch came of age before ubiquitous social media and had already picked a career path where being discoverable is more of a liability than a benefit. No Linkedin, no facebook, no twitter, no instagram. Maybe a faceless fake name lurking account.

Hard to say whether there are as many people in younger age groups who are like that.
Wow, they are basically admitting they can’t solve the problem.

Whoever solves this problem, hence has a good shot at being the next Google. OpenAI is probably not there yet, and it’s unclear if they will be.

Hunter, as far as I know, does not have any particular power or ambition for political office.

But frankly, I'm not against him being brought to justice for breaking the law either. We have let politicians become too comfortable bending the law to serve their selfish ends; if pinning down Hunter for every law he broke sends a message to the rest that their station can no longer protect their families from the scrutiny of Justice, so be it.
No, I don't. What Syrian event are you duscussing? What happened weeks later?

People are willing to debate and have a conversation but it seems that is not what you want.
Also more basic things like whether your feet are touching the pedals, that you're gripping the steering wheel at all, and how much force those things are taking.
A masterclass in gaslighting users. Google just can't take the L on this one. I don't know anyone personally who found the AI overviews to be helpful.

For one, searching is an act of research, corroborating multiple sources, and the current implementation of AI overviews obstructs this process. There is no trust for these services yet, and for good reason; if the AI is even 5% likely to return a harmful or "satirical" result, it should be treated as a completely unreliable source, and the user should fall back to reading the provided sources anyway. So I'm not sure how this is more helpful than regular vector search.

Just about the only useful thing about AI overviews is that it places content at the top of the page, directly beneath the search bar, instead of three full pages down, below two awfully-designed widgets and a dozen sponsored, often nefarious results. That was nice. Too bad it's just another useless widget.

Does anyone left at Google with power actually care about delivering a good search product? Earnest question.
Why does everything need to be either DRY or WET? Like most things in life, there are no absolutes in programming, only tradeoffs.

Those may be good principles to think about when you are starting out with programming, but the key is to gain experience trying to solve problems in different ways.

Over time, you get better at making the right decision about whether duplicative code should be refactored or left alone.

To be fair, we can’t always make the “right” decision, but we can at least try to make the best decision we can based on the knowledge we have.

> Crew members or the countries where the ships are registered or docked can pursue the shipowners in court. But recovering past wages can be a yearslong battle that often fails.

And if you just stay on the ship long enough, a court will appear right on the deck?

Sorry, man, this is a self-inflicted problem. Not being paid for 10 years starts with not being paid for a month, and then three and so on. At some point, it's just your choice.

Even if the money were to materialize, there is no way the guy is getting paid for the time spent on the ship after it was abandoned.

That's like continuing to show up to work to an abandoned office building after the company has folded, expecting to get paid for all that time one day.

I think that guy is just running away from something. While he stays on the ship, he has an ongoing excuse for all his inaction (in his mind) and doesn't have to face anything. Obviously, he's clothed and fed somehow, probably from doing odd jobs at the docks? And that lifestyle tied to the ship suits him fine.
It really depends on where a person is in their career and life. And as OP indicated, there are real benefits to putting a business behind you, taking a win, and moving on to the next thing (with a wad of cash!). For a lot of people, booking the next 4-5 years of income is a meaningful thing.

Valuation also depends heavily on components of a particular business, so it's not useful to just use one range. Does the business require the owner to run, or is a management team in place? Does it generate its revenue from 1,000 paying customers or 25? What is churn like? How fast is it growing? And bigger companies tend to have less risk in general than very small companies. FEI guides to a range of 7x - 10x for SaaS > $2m valuation (yes, this is somewhat recursive). The high end of that range is about a third the multiple Microsoft gets, but then again these are small businesses without Microsoft's competitive moats.

FE International[1] and Acquire.com[2] routinely publish excellent valuation guides for SaaS companies. I highly recommend to anyone looking to build or buy a SaaS.

You're missing the most important part: It entirely depends on what the data looks like.

For example, if you hand me a gigabyte of pure zeroes I can quickly compress that over a hundred-million-fold by hand. [0]

In contrast, if it's a patternless random distribution, you're gonna have a real bad time and you might as well not even bother.

> The state-of-the-art is only slightly better: the current winner of the Hutter Prize (http://prize.hutter1.net/), a nearly two decade old prize to encourage the development of better compressors, achieved compression by 9x. 200x is a pipe dream.

While I agree 200x sounds wonky, that 9x is for English text, so that numeric comparison is apples-to--uh, to mystery fruit.

In terms of AI Safety, I believe Anthrophic has built the right culture and mindset. In my opinion there is a difference between doing right and say that you are doing right. Usually if you do the latter you actually don't. It feels like BigTech companies are scrambling towards not falling behind in the AI race, move fast and break things, with little consideration of the potential harmful side affects of edge use cases for covert influence and similar.

Long-term rentals aren't typically taxed heavily. Since the tax is simply passed on to the tenant, you're just taxing the poor.

Frankly, owner-occupied vs renter-occupied is not a helpful distinction here. Instead, tax short-term rentals heavily and leave year-or-more rentals as they are. Bonus feature: you don't have a massive database listing where everybody sleeps at night, including domestic violence victims, sitting around on some poorly-secured government server.

If the problem is properties left empty the solution is simple: raise property taxes and credit the collected amount back on VAT/sales/income tax (depending on country) so the end result is revenue-neutral. Yes, the property tax will be passed on to tenants, but those tenants also enjoy the reduced VAT tax. For an empty apartment nobody recieves any counterbalancing benefit.
Touch is extremely important when driving a vehicle. You won't know which controls you're using and how much force you're exerting upon your pedals otherwise.

I agree, kind of similar to ranked web search pre-pagerank.

I mean, that’s highly dependent on the nature of the data. I just took an uncompressed TIFF screenshot of a Firefox window and compressed it as PNG for a 20x compression ratio.
I've never met an LLM that consistently behaved well at all. Quantized or unquantized.

Honestly it feels like the bulk of the industry is acting out one big LARP where they're always right around the corner from developing AGI and doing something big and amazing and....it just never materializes. Obnoxious AI agents, worthless AI-generated websites crowding out useful resources, unreliable AI search results.

The AI industry has done very well for itself selling hype. Now it needs actual good products.

Yes, it may be unsolved at SERP scale, not chat scale, but Google chose to have this fight on SERP and launch so they have to take the hits.

Yes replacing context with Gemini god quotes to monopolize traffic onto google is bad, but given the above results augmenting results rather than appropriating them seems to have some potential as seen with Perplexity.

Yes LLMs are flawed, but as some competitors show they can improve on the very low bar that is Google search results and not just by removing the paid misinformation / ads. Google showed they can make it worse.
I think it's not important if this is enforcable, this license sounds to me like a warning that the output may be radioactive, which is where AI copyright discussions are slowly shifting towards.
You can custom the page size by params in url ( ?page_size=1000).

But large page size can cause page performance problems.
It could also suggest that mental disorders are a societal construction (a product of living in society) ... but there is also a push to do away with disorders anyway. For example, ADHD was adaptative in hunter/gather societies. But it is clearly maladaptive now for school kids (and some workers) so we medicate it.

The bigger problem is a lack of awareness of our emotional states and managing them. This leads to all sorts of major sociological problems.
Currently it doesn't have that feature.

You can create an issue about it on GitHub so we can evaluate how much it is needed.
Mood, anxiety or eating disorders and having 2 or more peers increases risk by 18%.

What about the following considerations:

1. Kids trying to pursue similar goals (applying to college, perusing sports or boys, playing video games late which causes sleep deprivation) are more likely to have similar side effects.

2. Knowing someone who has treated a mental illness successfully makes you more likely to pursue treatment - they counted diagnosis, and most had it within a year.

Your frustrations of disrupting users is completely understanding, but couching it in “what’s wrong with people who use ____” ain’t it.
I'm usually pretty cynical about these kinds of posts, but Google seems to be pretty honest here. It's a pretty reasonable take on what went wrong and what they're working on to fix it. I still don't particularly like the AI Overview though.
I take the different stance the push to individualism has postponed apathy of Western society as a whole. Look at societies that are still highly nationalistic or collectivism they're either in-decline or being exploited by the West.

The power of individualism is it allows society to exploit individuals who're at the end of the population bell curve.

Besides the BS article, there is again some truth in the opinions expressed.

In general, the epigenetics express themselves at a rate almost double the baseline in homes where at least one parent is also suffering a disorder while raising the children, or there is some form of abuse. It is well documented, placing children in a low-stress stable environment with "normal" adoptive caregivers early in life can cut the expression of most disorders in half.

In terms of development, around 70% of your personality is who you were around as a child. It is not "contagious", but rather an aggregated developmental result governed by culture, social and financial stressors.

Interestingly, if you are intellectually gifted most will see a certain resilience to these challenges. However, sometimes a kid is just wired wrong (that other 1% no one talks about), and will pose a persistent issue for the entire community from an early age.

Governments have weaponized village idiots since the dawn of civilization, but in general most Scientists that study people tend to exclude the antisocial from their field given the horrific mistakes of the past.

I would recommend behavioral biology and abnormal psychology as electives in first year. And no, anyone under the age of 14 should not be on the public internet in my opinion, as at around 12 ones prejudices and values become your default bias.

I personally don't think Google should be monitoring the habits of children, or tagging people with electronic devices.

Probably related to them dumping the model 2 project.
Single use? No way that's what multiple inheritance and mixins are for. Inheritance being only for code reuse is explicitly about not creating a taxonomy. No more is-a just, "I need this code here." Hey this thing behaves like a mapping inherit from the MutipleMapping and get all the usual mapping methods for free. Hey this model needs created/updated_at, inherit from ChangeTracking and get those fields and helper methods for free.

Has-a doesn't make sense for code like the literal text reuse. It makes sense for composition and encapsulation.

Edit: I'm now realizing that Python has one of the only sane multiple inheritance implementations. It's no wonder the rest of y'all hate it.

>You lose absolutely nothing. If you later want to handle the two cases differently, most IDEs allow you to inline the set_deadline method in a single key stroke.

Problem with unintentional coupling isn't that you can't undo it. It is that someday someone from some other team is going to change the method to add behaviour they need for their own use case that is different from your own and you won't even notice until there is a regression.
> Cohesion over extensibility.

Imo the very best approach is a codebase that's small enough that you can just do chunky refactors every so often rather than building in extensibility as a "thing". Not applicable to all problem spaces (I'd hate to do this for UI code), but for a lot of stuff it works really nicely.

For me this often looks like an external DSL/API that stays relatively constant (but improving), with guts that are always changing.

I think one of the issues is actually that GraphQL has no specific implementation, it's not like you have an SQL database and that's it, so one thing is that when you are consuming a GraphQL api it is impractical for various implementation related reasons from the vendor.

With GraphQL you are doing a lot of extra work query wise than you do with REST, which is supposed to translate into various benefits. But each vendor has different implementation details that affects whether you actually receive those benefits.

This is different than REST, the benefits of REST are generally the same for every vendor because implementation details and API are extremely simple, what is different is the data structure you receive back.

In GraphQL both the data structure and the implementation details are different. GraphQL I think doesn't make sense if you have multiple data sources from different vendors, because of this increase in complexity and not being to trust how good their implementation actually is until you've gotten into it.
Reeeally loving this one, great job !!
I don’t think individualism is entirely bad or even bad at all - the issue is the exclusive focus on it, as it leaves you unable to deal with the group social phenomena that will continue to exist regardless. And in the reverse way, societies that are too group-focused find themselves unable to deal with the phenomenon of individuals- see the USSR, for example.

IMO the societies doing the best globally have a solid balance between individual and group identity.
Neuromimes – Peter Flemming
I am working 75% since about 7 years now. However, I did not chose 4 days, but 6 hours (and 5 days). I like this much more because I can more evenly distribute my workload and I have a more regular schedule, including recovering from work on a daily basis. 6 hours is the maximum I found I can concentrate and be productive. Afterwards, my output always decreased significantly and I was mainly wasting time.
The task is not to compress general data by a factor of 200, the task is to compress a very domain-specific kind of data by a factor of 200. Presumably the hope is this data has lower entropy than e.g. the Hutter prize data.

If I tell you to write an image compression algorithm, you aren't going to be able to do much with a bitmap of uniform randomly generated pixels. However if I tell you that in the domain I'm working in there are only two colors white and black, immediately I can reduce storing each pixel from 24 bits to 1bit, saving a factor of 24. If I tell you further that >99% of pixels are going to be black, more compression tricks become possible, etc.

I don't have expertise in this particular problem, but a priori dismissing it by comparing to Hutter is not valid.
