From a US perspective: It's incredible how the historically undisputed best economy carmakers Honda and Toyota missed the boat on relatively affordable EVs, and how well Hyundai and Kia are killing it.
NYPD is an MBA style police agency. The management wants to hit their KPIs.

If the bosses want jaywalking tickets, they swarm like bees. Arresting someone for robbery fucks up the metric for the local commander.

It’s like any big dumb company. The officers are like salesmen, and they are trained to do whatever bullshit the boss wants.
I like that they let you subscribe with Apple Pay, but I wish I could just pay $0.50 for the one article. I would pay. It’d be much less friction than either finding a proxy to read it for free, or subscribing properly and the dealing with the unsubscribe process which can be very difficult.
I tried yesterday and got an error. Now it is working. Sorry for the noise.
Seems like basic stuffs. With the advancement of malware technology this is barely enough.
Ok, I read the article. But I still don't know what the big lie is.
Thanks for the video. Like someone commented, i think too that this sketch will not get old so soon, more with all "AI" getting pushed.
The assistants do stuff like flossing the braces and such but the ortho comes in to actually install and set them up. Its not purely oversight but a skill gap and what is possible given an amount of training.
I feel exactly the same way. My main machine is an 11 year old IdeaPad with a 4th Gen i7, 16GB of RAM, and an SSD. No performance issues whatsoever on Mint. From what I recall, battery life isn't great, but I've used it exclusively as a desktop for most of its lifetime.

Windows on the original 5.4k disk, especially booting, was a truly awful experience.

My "lounging around" machine is a 14yr old Dell E6510 with a 1st gen i5, 8GB of RAM, and an SSD. It also works like a charm with Mint.
There is (was?) an keepassxc issue where the auto fill shortcut won't work due to wayland limitations... That was one time i remember wayland to be not working for my usual flow.
I got an appointment within a week. The post office took the pictures and submitted everything for me. Couldn’t have been easier. Sounds like experience varies based on location.

I did a digital renewal for my passport and it was fine also. It’s a once in many year event, so it doesn’t bother me that I need to go to a special place to submit documents.
The more realistic option is improvements in fast charging infrastructure. It’s what happened in Norway.

Don’t expect big leap in battery efficiency anytime soon, and battery swapping projects tend to fail already without the standardisation challenge.
The horses are so far out of the barn that they are but a speck on the distant horizon.
that, and i suspect that many started smoking when they were young, trying to impress their peers, following their parents or friends habits etc, and most importantly not making a conscious decision. "it just happened. i don't know why". you can't regret a decision you didn't make. same goes for alcohol. this is different from drugs where everyone says "don't do it", and so doing it is more likely to be a conscious decision.

Nope. I also love cheese and yoghurt and milk chocolate and process lactose very well. I recognise, however, dairy as the indulgence it is. It's not a smart staple for most people, including most kids. (If your kid isn't fat, it's probably fine.)

It's one of the best uses of your time. No one is going to notice your papercut bugfixes. There's a good chance that the bug-fix itself will be deleted in a few months with the rest of the code.

However, a written artifact of your technical thinking and contributions with your name on it will outlast probably even the company.

These things matter. Unfortunately there's so much garbage self-promotion nowadays through Linkedin and other platforms that the pendulum has swung in the other direction for people with actual skills and expertise.
It's great until you want to include a non-standard plugin and need to compile your own binaries.

Now that single binary deployment requires you to compile the software yourself. Caddy has nice tooling for this but it'd be far more convenient to just drop a dll/so file in the right directory.

Single binary deployments are great if someone else did the compiling for you. If you need to compile yourself it truly does not matter if you need to ship a single binary or a directory or whatever.
The problem is error wrapping. Somebody deeper in the stack can break your equality check.
The way I’d slightly reframe this is to make it be about “the grass is always greener.”

Instead of discussing regrets, just talk about the things you think more about now that you’ve committed to a choice.

For example, I don’t regret owning a home. But I now think a lot about how an open concept main floor seemed like a great idea, but without walls I don’t have many places to store my furniture.

These are things for sure, but nginx config files are well understood by LLMs so I get good advice from them. That's really the limiting factor for most equivalent tools for me these days, how well the LLM handles it.

Cellular Automata Rule 30
And for thousands of years the problems women faced have been caused primarily by men. Now there is “liberation” in some western countries and men have a problem. They think, incorrectly, that they are oppressed or otherwise being discriminated against. It is laughable that this view exists. It’s like whites in the South decrying blacks no longer being slaves and thinking as a result of the new reality that they are now oppressed.
The overextension of Byzantine territory under Justinian led to later collapse, and in the end harmed the Romans and (along with the brutality of the Roman tax farmers) was one of the key steps that paved the way towards the Caliphate's conquests. Justinian did valuable things, his legal work left a constructive lasting mark. His architectural work was lovely but left Rome bankrupt and his foolish conquests (pursued under false pretexts and open lies) left Rome worse off by any humane measures. He was a disaster for the Romans who suffered through his reign and past it. Justinian planted the seeds of both Rome's expansion and collapse and his policies in the Italic peninsula were catastrophic.
Another good reason more people should get screened for lung cancer. If you can find it early, you can maybe halt the progression with this drug!
The initial key word I would start with if someone is interested in studying this concept would be "replication crisis". Wikipedia has a good starting off point with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

I would not point to a specific study. Primarily because I would have to dig through a rather long list to find the one that I found "best", but also because in terms of fact finding, its better if people did this independently. "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False" is a good one however.
Thanks, appreciate your response!

Thanks for this, it provides an intriguing approach to thinking about transformers (or predictors in general)!

For extracting the fractal from the residual stream, did I understand it correctly as follows: You repeatedly sample the transformer, each time recording the actual internal state of the HMM and the (higher-dimensional) residual stream. Then you perform a linear regression to obtain a projection matrix from residual stream vector to HMM state vector.

If so, then doesn't that risk "finding" something that isn't necessarily there? While I think/agree that the structure of the mixed state representation is obviously represented in the transformer in this case, in general I don't think that, strictly speaking, finding a particular kind of structure when projecting transformer "state" into known world "state" is proof that the transformer models the world states and its beliefs about the world states in that same way. Think "correlation is not causation". Maybe this is splitting hairs (because, in effect, what does it matter how exactly the transformer "works" when we can "see" the expected mixed state structure inside it), but I am slightly concerned that we introduce our knowledge of the world through the linear regression.

Like, consider a world with two indistinguishable states (among others), and a predictor that (noisily) models those two with just one equivalent state. Wouldn't the linear regression/projection of predictor states into world states risk "discovering" the two world states in the predictor, which don't actually exist there in isolation at all?

Again, I'm not doubting the conclusions/explanation of how, in the article, that transformer models that world. I am only hypothesizing that, for more complex examples with more "messy" worlds, looking for the best projection into the known world states is dangerous: It presupposes that the world states form a true subspace of the residual stream states (or equivalent).

Would be happy to be convinced that there is something deeper that I'm missing here. :)

Yeah this model is obviously flawed and not working as advertised.

I will point out though that “not PC” != gun-toting Trump supporter missing teeth. Tons of people who would consider themselves “not PC” also support clean energy and gay rights. You seem to have this very specific view of what “not PC” is which seems extreme to me
It has also become somewhat common to use io.EOF to signal the end of iteration, like the reader libraries do.
Never said it should be the first option but if your direct manager doesn't like you and won't talk about it, you don't have that many options.

There is a power imbalance at play, and you are not on the good end of it.

Framing it as "running away" is weird.. One of the most important life skills is to know when to pick your battles.

If you go over their head, and they get forced into a discussion with you, then what? You think that will improve the relationship? And do you want to have that person responsible for your ongoing career opportunities and advancements?

Unless they are actually breaking some rules, there isn't much HR or a leader high up can or will do. In fact I bet their recommendation would be to change teams as well.

I'd love to hear your suggestions though.
Llama3 vs. AI Agent Pathfinding
Ironically this model most resembles Teradata, which used to sell their own proprietary hardware/software combination at exorbitant rates.

Snowflake compute instance types cost about $.30-.40 an hour on EC2, so it's quite a markup.

As far as security I do believe they allow the customers to set their own storage keys, so there may be some isolation from a global breach.
Thanks for the tip, just checked it out. I prefer the aesthetics of the current one better. Paper CSS looks like a kid drew those elements. This one has the hand-drawn look of a more professional hand.
Please the lie is probably to sleep how someone else tells you to so you can be a part of society.
This is fair but performant data processing in Go simply has much lower performance ceiling than Rust, C#, Swift or C++. Which is why all standard library routines that do so (text search, hashing, encryption, etc.) are written in Go's custom """portable""" ASM dialect. It is unwieldy and has API omissions because it takes this half-assed approach many things in Golang ecosystem do.

The closer, and better, example is hand-optimized C# where you still (mostly) write portable and generic code for SIMD routines and they get compiled to almost the same codegen as hand-intrinsified C++.

I understand where this belief comes from, but the industry at large does itself a huge disservice by tunnel visioning at a handful of (mostly subpar) technologies.
Even if you just use 2 apps that depends on 1 library, there may be tens or hundreds of such apps in the distribution repository (which is, btw, the case for libgmp). A bug in such library would force distribution maintainers to release new packages for all these applications, instead of just one.

I think that if the library is independent upstream project, then there is no reason why it should not be dynamically-linked independent package in distributions.
Counterpoint, it looks good.

> The problem is not the amount of data, it's the quality of the data, full stop. Beyond that, there's something called the "No Free Lunch Theorem" that says that a fixed parameter model can't be good at everything, so trying to make a model smarter at one thing is going to make it dumber at another thing.

My understanding is NFL only applies if the target function is chosen from a uniform distribution of all possible functions — i.e. the "everything" that NFL says you can't predict is more like "given this sequence from a PRNG (but we're not telling you which PRNG), infer the seed and the function" and less like "learn all the things a human could learn if only they had the time".

That assigned probability is a function of trust in the speaker, prior plausibility, other available information, and the consequences of being wrong in either direction. You can't avoid the trust question by talking about probability.

That’s cool. Could it be possible that the expansion that immediately follows the singularity is not necessarily pointing to a very distant past space time, but rather to a recurrent cyclical process that is currently happening for everything around us?

Essentially, is there time-aliasing* in our measurements? And if so, does that point to cyclical processes and thus uncertainty about any potential absolute age of the universe? ie. If the universe behaves in a cycle, we might not be able to tell what number of cycle we are in, but maybe only our current stage/progress along the overall cycle

Brotli is a better example, as it was literally purpose made for HTML/CSS/JS. It is now supported basically everywhere for HTTP compression, and uses a huge custom dictionary (about 120KB) that was trained on simulated web traffic.

You can even swap in your own shared dictionary with a HTTP header, but trying to make your own dictionary specific to your content is a fool’s errand, you’ll never amortize the cost in total bits.

What you CAN do with shared dictionaries though, is delta updates.

That said, as neat as steam cars are, there is a reason internal combustion engines won. Probably because they are smaller, lighter and most importantly cheaper.
You can get that by implementing an error type, or otherwise constructing a new error every time one is returned. But doing this adds to the cost of returning the error.

This is how we use most errors in our code base. But we tend to not treat them as sentinels, we are only interested in the descriptive error messages.
There's no mention of handling with regard to costs inappropriately incurred - wouldn't access to the secrets let people call APIs and run up costs?

Or is this purely about theft of data/code?

There's no error, it doesn't matter what the observer is made of. Special relativity is meant to be consistent across all frames of reference.

As another reply mentioned, from the perspective of a photon which is not interacting, time stands still. This is because we see the limit of the system where a moving body has zero mass, where things become infinite. But it still holds that a non comoving observer sees the opposite limit; the photon moving at the maximum possible speed through the medium of space. (Though the photon can gain mass depending on the reference frame)

I don't really see how blocking ads for things help, I also think they serve a really valuable purpose. IME Doctors are so stuck in their first decade of work (CE programs are mostly a joke) that there actually needs to be a forcing function to get them to learn about new drugs.

Sometimes they further optimize it for a goal, or maximize it to have everything. Sometimes organize it, provide additional material that fans might appreciate, add commentary. Port it to a platform where previously it was inaccessible.

For examples, an artist's discography is sometimes neatly organized in folders, by year, and the files are tagged with metadata. In case of anime, fans improve or outright provide subtitles. They often do extra things like including karaoke for the opening and ending, color coding subtitle lines to match the speaker's personality or design, and provide stylized subtitles for signs and other letterings on the screen. In case of movies, they are often optimized to a specific kind of usage, for example to be able to be viewed on every phone, or to have a minimal file size. Sometimes, especially older releases, are digitally cleaned up and enhanced. Games install easily and is packaged in a way that it just works, without faffing about with the launchers and things like that.
But it is a dry heat.

I had a chance to move to the SW area a long time ago, I said no thank you, I do not mind the snow. If the heat there hit me, I would probably end up in the ICU.

Now where I am, it does not get that cold in the winter. I think this past winter, the ave temp was about 35 -40 F (2-5C). Decades ago it was common to have a few days with a high of around -10F (-23C). I do not even remember the last time we had temps below 0 (-17C).

And yet, people and companies are still moving to that area. Will be fun times in that area in say 10 years. Glad half the people in the US is doing all they can to increase C02. If you are young and live below the Mason Dixon Line, time to think about moving north.
