Chat GPT 4o. I was being a bit generous with background information, but still tests ability to interpret:

------

Me:

Background facts:

Alice is a female human.

All sisters are female, and all brothers are male. No one is their own brother or sister.

Alice has N brothers, and Alice has M sisters.

Now, a few questions based on these facts:
How many sisters do Alice’s brothers have?

Do Alice's brothers have more sisters, fewer sisters, or same number of sisters than Alice has?

Don't forget to consider Alice when counting.

------

ChatGPT:

Let's break down the questions step by step:

How many sisters do Alice’s brothers have?

Alice has M sisters. Since all sisters are female and Alice is included in the total count of sisters for her brothers, Alice's brothers have M+1 sisters. This includes Alice herself and her M sisters.

Do Alice's brothers have more sisters, fewer sisters, or the same number of sisters as Alice has?

Alice has M sisters. Alice's brothers have M+1 sisters (since it includes Alice herself and her M sisters).

Therefore, Alice's brothers have more sisters than Alice has.

In conclusion:

Alice’s brothers have M+1 sisters.

Alice's brothers have more sisters than Alice has.
Although I'm sure the Nokia backstory might be appreciated by casual readers of your comment who weren't aware, I suggest you read the parent's comment in good faith and realize that he's essentially arguing that Google currently is exhibiting a lack of vision similar to Nokia. In an attempt to take my own advise I'll simply note that it's unclear from your comment whether you're actually agreeing with the parent or trying to provide a counterargument of sorts.
Am I the only one who feels that "domestic abuse" is becoming the new "think of the children" in computing? The problem is serious, but if we follow the logic of removing any and all features that could aid the abuser in tracking their victim or preventing them from getting help, then we'd have to remove a lot of functionality considered basic. This includes e.g. security warnings that you've logged in from a new location/machine, or an dashboard showing active sessions. Hell, this probably includes location tags and dates on photos in your own phone gallery. Abusers, especially spouses, have a lot of options on their disposal (including that the assumption that phone is a personal device no longer holds). I'm not sure how is removing web access to Timeline really helping here.
I wasn't aware of that particular backstory. But I suspected--before seeing the name explicitly mentioned--that Enid Blyton is probably one of the prolific authors that would trigger various alarm bells for some modern audiences.
There is a hint of it in "promote the general Welfare" but they could have elaborated further. Also, choosing to use the word "promote" rather than "ensure" or "guarantee" is telling. They valued human dignity and wellness, but not enough to guarantee a right to it.

For example, they could have guaranteed humans have the right to (physical and economic) access to adequate food. I think we can all agree that food security is a human dignity issue. But they didn't include such a right, and indeed even as recently as 2017, the USA was one of only two countries in the world that voted[1] against a Right To Food at the UN Human Rights Council.

Same goes for any right to access to clean water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, and so on. None of these are actually guaranteed by the USA, although some states have taken steps in this area.

I meant for CI and other software that your company uses internally (e.g. not your own software offering to customers/clients). Yes for other purposes, lile hosting your software, the cloud provides reliability/scalability. But for Dev compute. That was the context of the DHH conversation. I would say the cost value still leaks in though: I have never seen a big three providers cloud costs per $ for a given machine ever reduce (excluding Spot bidding etc) - despite the fact the efficiency gains in recent years have been so fast it is making more and more sense to self-host either on prem or in a data center. Cloud was a lot cheaper in 2008 compared to buying off the shelf, not so much today.

> Can't they blow the fairing as part of launch abort?

I'm not a rocket scientist, so I don't really know the answer. But I have some questions:

* How reliable will the "blow the fairing" system be? If it's only used in emergencies (instead of the regular fairing separation mechanism) than it'll suffer from the same problem as emergency generators - they're rarely tested and fail very often when needed.

* How easy is it to get the fairing out of the way once it's opened? Normally, regular aerodynamic forces slough the fairing halves off, but an LES/LAS doesn't have time for that - it's escaping a potentially exploding rocket. And those fairings will act like sails - huge surface area:volume ratio means they're just not going to move fast.

* What happens if DreamChaser hits one of the fairings on the wing? Would it damage it enough that it'd have trouble landing? Is it enough to cause it to foul the escape trajectory? Or even put it in a spin?

It seems like a lot of work to get it to work with or without a fairing.
IDK, I think of market forces as being rational actors, but yeah I guess Threads may be their first "hit" of an internal product since Facebook itself.
That will do absolutely nothing for those countries.

What are you even talking about? NASA has directly publicly funded Starship development to the tune of ~4 Billion with the Artemis Moonlander contract and extension.

The overall perspective is that SpaceX developed their crewed capsule much much faster and cheaper than Boeing. The data also indicates that flying with SpaceX is safer.

Congress doesn't care about buring tax dollars as long as it is spent in their districts. Otherwise Artemis and SLS wouldn't exist.

My daughter is 5 y.o., which means because of kindergarten, I spend plenty of time about kids this age. A random kid this age would absolutely fail your test. They may remember the word after one exposure, but I doubt they'll remember any of the distinctive features.

Hell, many adults would fail it. I'm not sure if I could pass such test - in my experience, you remember the important details only after first experiencing a test and realizing what exactly it is that would be useful in distinguishing the two animals.
And as a private company they had the right to do so. Freedom!
Planes and helicopters do not frequently fail by exploding, but rather things like engines failing. An engine failure, even if it’s the only engine in a given airplane or helicopter, does not automatically involve a deadly crash. Airplanes can glide, frequently for very long distances, and helicopters can use the air moving across the rotors to effectively “glide” down. It’s not always possible, but they do have inherent redundancies that rockets necessarily do not.
Cool! How do the students react? :)

Every connection you make to a remote service "exfiltrates data". Modern TLS is just as opaque to middleboxes as WireGuard is, unless you add security telemetry directly to endpoints --- and then you don't care about the network anyways, so just monitor the endpoint.

The reason you'd use WireGuard rather than TLS is that it allows you to talk directly to multiple services, using multiple protocols (most notably, things like Postgres and Redis) without having to build custom serverside "gateways" for each of those protocols.

Or, looking at the .NET evolution:

.NET Framework 4.8
.NET Core
.NET Core 2
.NET Core 3
.NET 5

There is no .NET Core 4 because people would get confused with .NET Framework 4 which is still getting bug fixes and has support. And they wanted people to move from .NET Framework 4 so they called it .NET 5 instead of .NET Core 5.
I’m sorry, I did not mean for this comment to be a political point, but rather an observation on how technology is used in mass atrocities. I was hoping to raise a point which I find interesting, which other may or may not agree with. I’ve gotten a couple of excellent replies here raising interesting counterpoints.

After posting this, and reading the replies, I’m actually less convinced about my original point. That is, I’ve learned something.
It does seem to match transformers, but I wouldn't say it meaningfully outperforms them in terms of quality vs parameters.

There are more detailed perplexity and task benchmarks in the paper. Overall, all the architectures perform very similarly on every benchmark, sometimes xLSTM is slightly ahead but not always, and the difference is not really meaningful.

This is great news though, it means we are not losing anything by switching to xLSTM and we get important advantages like the scalable context window.

I'm quite excited about this because we can potentially have the LLM remember what you say and do few-shot persistent learning from user interaction (updating "itself", the state vector). It would be very interesting if LLMs were no longer static. Although I'm sure it will be a challenge to train the model to keep such learnings in its memory long-term.

> Really just drives home how big of a mistake it was ignoring Vulkan for the past decade on Apple's behalf, but lord knows they won't admit that until it's too late.

They'll never admit it. They only caved on USB-C because they were legally required to. They won't cave on this, or NVidia support, or putting the charge port on the side of the mouse and not the belly, etc.
> It's a complete misconception of human psychology that motivation precedes action.

It's not a misconception, it's the definition of motivation.

The misconception is using the word "motivation" only for intrinsic motivation. If you have a gun pointed at your head, you'll be quite motivated to do whatever the person holding the gun tells you. External motivation can be extremely powerful, it just doesn't last long.

> Act first, become motivated later.

You're right. You need some external motivation to start "acting first". There are four types of external motivation (from more external to more internal) – fully external, introjected, identified, internal. Rewards and punishments are the first (external), rewards/punishments "in your head" (aka image of your parents telling you to do homework or you don't get TV time) are the second (introjected), part of your identity ("I'm Muslim, thus have to wear hijab") - third (identified), and "I truly believe I have to do something" is fourth (internal). Internal type of external motivation differs from intrinsic motivation (which is defined as "acting because I enjoy the process", and you can truly believe you have to do something but not enjoy it).

Discipline and self-discipline are somewhere between introjected and internal types, but it's essentially a codename for external motivation nevertheless.

In many cases you really want to instill intrinsic motivation in kids/athletes/employees/etc. But you need to "act first" and repetitively link it to the positive emotions – and that's where external motivation (and discipline) can be used strategically to create intrinsic one. Unfortunately a lot of people/fields/disciplines get stuck in the external reward systems and don't use it strategically.
Kolmogorov complexity conventionally refers to the Turing machine as the base for implementation. This indeed makes repeated letters significantly less complex than that other string. (If you want intuition for how much code is needed to do something on a Turing machine, learn and play around a bit with Brainfuck. It's actually quite nice for that.)

> Printing an additional $100 trillion changes the length of the measuring stick, but it doesn't give us any more hardware.

It actually does. Spending freshly conjured money on hardware immediately kicks off production of new hardware and loads all the supply chain. Yes, this injection of new money into economy does eventually result in the inflation, but that will increase the costs of everything later. This lag between when you start spending and the adverse effects of inflation when the money will trickle down everywhere is the period when you actually gain from issuing new money, and the greater the economy is, the longer this lag will be.

If there is overwhelming evidence for a claim, it's absurd to smear it as "trope".
So when Nancy Pelosi says: "If the capital crumbles to the ground,one thing that will remain is our commitment to Israel"[0] that's because she has in fact dual loyalty, to dismiss that as "trope" is to dismiss & deny reality.

Some of "our" politicians work overtime for israel's interests and neglect their actual job and obligations towards America.

Yes, I just meant I like to leave work feeling like I've reached a "natural" stopping point. Something finished, or at least the path to finishing is clear.

What I dislike is when I'm stumped, puzzling over a bug or the correct implementation for a complicated feature. It's not always possible to resolve these situations by the end of the work day and they tend to nag at me through the evening. I don't like that and try to avoid it, rather than deliberately create this feeling ("leave things undone") as some sort of trick for motivation.
Those inherently aren't tactical strikes, though. Threatening to nuke civilians if people don't agree with you is nuclear blackmail, and NATO would bring the guillotine down on Russia's head overnight.

The entire point of the cold war was that imagination kills us, and the only point of keeping nuclear weapons is to ensure proportional retaliation if someone else nukes you. Russia knows this; they aren't stupid, and they full-well know that deploying nuclear weapons in any capacity gives the west a fully-justified casus belli on any preparatory strikes they want to make. Russia loves to talk a big game, but it should be plainly obvious that they could not possibly hope to survive a second-strike attack from NATO. It is all or nothing.

They're not creating raw sockets†. The neat thing about WireGuard is that it runs over vanilla UDP, and presents to the "client" a full TCP/IP interface. We normally plug that interface directly into the kernel, but you don't have to; you can just write a userspace program that speaks WireGuard directly, and through it give a TCP/IP stack interface directly to your program.

† I don't think? I didn't see them say that, and we do the same thing and we don't create raw sockets.

No I am not, I am still engaging in the conversation.

But there is very little I can actually say when your response is that it is anti-semitic.

You are no longer responding to what was actually said and instead pivoting it to something else that does not leave anything to respond too since you are not addressing what you are responding too in the first place.

And again you are doing the same thing here, instead of actually trying to have a conversation you shut it down by claiming it is antisemitic. That isn't a conversation, that is a pivot to try to end it.

I also never claimed it did not exist.

Over the last several months I have seen many conversations just end with "that's anti-semitic" because it was any amount of criticism as if we have to accept that and that's the end of the conversation.

Well it's not and shouldn't be, you made a claim and I am challenging it.
Within popular media at least I'd argue it's the other way around, other than David Lynch and so on most things are very linear and easily solved.
