My intuition is that the voids in an embedding space are concepts which have essentially no meaning, so you will never find text that embeds into those spaces, and therefore they are not reachable.

For example take a syntactically plausible yet meaningless concept such as "the temperature of sorrowful liquid car parkings"[1]. That has nothing near it in embedding space I'd be prepared to guess. When you embed any corpus of text this phrase is going to drop into a big hole in the semantic space because while it has components which have some sort of meaning in each of your semantic dimensions, there isn't anything similar to the actual concept- there isn't any actual meaning there for something else to be similar to.

You need the spaces because there are so many possible different facets we are trying to capture when we talk about meaning but only a subset of those facets are applicable to the meaning of any one concept. So the dimensions in the embedding space are not independent or really orthogonal, and semantic concepts end up clustered in bunches with big gaps between them.

That's my intuition about it. When I get some time it's definitely something I want to study more.

It's kinda scary to think that researchers would be using ChatGPT other than a rubber duck to bounce ideas off of.

There are a couple issues I can see in that people may be unaware of how much the AI's hallucinate, but also there's a real probability that people will pick and choose what they like based on what sounds correct vs what is correct.

AI is a great tool, but it's also convincingly deceiving at times, so much so that many people are totally oblivious to it.
Really hope at some point the healthcare industry starts trying to figure out how to harness the power of the placebo effect to enhance healing, rather than trying to do away with it

I mean, is the goal healing people? Or is it to only heal them if they get better by the direct effect of a (patentable/sellable) chemical? Whose interests is the healthcare industry serving or protecting?
I don't have to complete advent solutions in 20 mins while someone waits for me to demonstrate any reason to cut me from the 10 others they are interviewing that week. The problem is psychosocial, not technical. I'm not necessarily going to lose out to a better engineer, but a better leetcoder - I'm objectively terrible in leetcode interviews, unable to put two sentences together.

I can code fine. I've practiced enough leetcode problems to be fine with them too. Just not in interviews.

But, you didn't answer my question. It says bad things about the industry that so many people still lack the insight to see the disconnect between performing well during social evaluation and effective software engineering. It's been decades now.

It's interesting to see that modern processor optimization still revolves around balancing hardware for specific tasks. In this case, the vector scheduler has been separated from the integer scheduler, and the integer pipeline has been made much wider. I'm sure it made sense for this revision, but I wonder if things will change in a few generations in the pendulum will swing back to simplifying and integrating more parts of the arithmrtic scheduler(s) and ALUs.

It's also interesting to see that FPGA integration hasn't gone far, and good vector performance is still important (if less important than integer). I wonder what percentage of consumer and professional workloads make significant use of vector operations, and how much GPU and FPGA offload would alleviate the need for good vector performance. I only know of vector operations in the context of multimedia processing, which is also suited for GPU acceleration.
Maybe I am misreading it, but their site seems to imply the program banks will provide FDIC insurance: https://help.withyotta.com/en/articles/4494665-is-my-money-f...

Which then directs you to contact ANOTHER COMPANY to confirm… that your money at Yotta is held by a 3rd party bank in an FDIC insured account.

Honestly I feel like they are referring to FDIC in bad faith with this weird non answer scavenger hunt.

Is the core problem that Yotta expected synapse to distribute funds to program banks, and now Synapse and the banks books don’t agree? So even if you checked with Synapse, would they have directed you to the bank with your money for confirmation— or is it all commingled funds anyways?
>People think nihilism and absurdism to be very pessimistic philosophies, for the sole reason that they do not want to accept that life has no absolute meaning.

Actually, I think this because a suspicious number of people who ID as open nihilists/absurdists when the Discord turns philosophical feel the need to say things like "but it's not like I'm depressed because life has no absolute meaning".

Maybe, but they often do turn out to be depressed. And claiming the arrow of causality does not exist actually isn't a proof that it doesn't exist. Plenty of obese people claim their daily caloric surplus has no relationship to their health problems, and they are just incorrect.

On the other hand, when I consider the moral realists I know, most of them seem to be quite happy people. I almost never hear someone say "But I'm not depressed because good is objective". Sometimes they might get sad or frustrated because they feel they suck at chasing it, but that's a level up.

In the most interesting case, I know of someone who started as a depressed non realist, read a bunch of middlebrow philosophy books, realized the moral realists actually had much stronger arguments than r/nihilism led them to believe, became a moral realist, and actually stopped being depressed. That would be me, myself. So that suggests a pretty strong arrow of causality to me.

My question to you is, how were you able to make that change? I'm going to presume that it still rears its head time to time and when it does, do you notice it quickly and are able to adapt in the same conversation or is it mostly a reflection and realization you were like that? or am i not even asking the right questions?

Philosophically, one could argue that the distinction between organic and inorganic matter is somewhat arbitrary since, at the most fundamental level, everything is simply matter. If you wanted to go in that direction, it would probably be fair to say something like it deteriorated, simply because it's programmed to.

It would also make sense evolution would choose not to change this programming.
But most startups get broke in several years, and codebases can't be repurposed as easily as, say, a fries-making machine, so the fee need to be very high to compensate the risk.

I have no idea what you're referring to. Nothing changed, because it didn't actually work in the GTK2 days either. Actually it was worse then. Themes would break apps constantly. I remember always having to edit gtkrc when something broke, and sometimes that wouldn't even work or the app would just crash entirely. It was even more "fun" if a theme crashed the window manager or the panel and then you had to switch out to a VT to fix it.
> empirically weighty analogy

"Empirically" how?

I don't think hyperthreading was the bulk of the attack surface. It definitely presented opportunities for processes to get out of bounds, but I think preemptive scheduling is the bulk of the issue.

Maybe I understand it wrong, but if time is not an illusion, does that mean the past still exists? Hypothetically, if we could reverse the flow of time, would that mean we could travel into the past?

I ask this because I have a bit of a paradox regarding time travel. It's pretty simple, presumably we're all sentient beings, and our consciousness is here, now, in the present. The science fiction portrayal of time travel suggests that we could travel into the past and interact with our former selves. But if my conscious mind is here now in the year 2024, then what conscious mind are you talking to in the past? Surely my conscious mind cannot exist in two different eras simultaneously.

This little "paradox" of mine has made me ponder the true nature of time. Though more likely these are just the ramblings of a person who has a poor understanding of physics.
Wow, I wonder what libraries Ladybird will start depending on? There are some web features that are backed by the same open source library in all three major browsers, and would be huge projects to reimplement in a compatible and cross-platform way. WebRTC and ANGLE come to mind.
Broad range of users means keeping it simple and sticking to the standards.

The complexity of government forms is not about fancy custom dialogs, elaborate data types or cute animations. There are usually a lot of (simple) questions. Yes/no, checkboxes, dates and times, free fields. The list is not endless.

I stuck with K9 because Fairmail has a cluttered UI. Yes, it's very fully featured, and I have nothing but respect for Marcel and it's a great option, but K9 is slightly easier to get started with for me.
I don't think users would go for that UX, so if you're committed to building this feature, I don't think you can go that route without basically accepting that no one will use it. I suspect MS wants this to be a lot more casual than the other features behind authentication now. (Like I told akkartik, I'm open to the argument that there's no way to implement it securely and with an acceptably easy UX, but I don't see people actually making that argument.) Maybe they'll prove me wrong by doing something like that, though.

Back in the day, I installed 3 CEC breakout boxes in-line with a TV, a receiver, and a PS3, plugging them all into a Raspberry Pi (first-gen). The Pi easily handled dispatching between them, and I used an existing Rust crate to build a simple REST service to control the devices over the network (from my phone).

A bonus was that my TV didn't support CEC; it had one of those mini-audio-jack-looking RS232 connectors, and there happened to also be a Rust crate which spoke the protocol.
Actually that's pretty awesome to have someone trustworthy to do such things!
It's quite common, though poorly understood, for the brain to have surprisingly consistent hallucinations in response to a particular substance. Just like seeing the same sort of entities on DMT, people in accute alcohol withdrawal almost all report hallucinations of small-ish vermin (e.g. rats, snakes, mice, cockroaches). It seems pretty clear that these substances each produce their own particular kind of input to the brain that then gets interpreted by the very similar neural circuitry we all have to the same kind of memory/experience.

I wonder if this type of thing will actually end up helping neuroscience research as well, seeing as how some of these substances seem to push higher level concepts than what is typically easily induced in an fMRI. If they turn out to be safe for human use, they should be usable in this setting as well.

And yes, of course an entity your brain is hallucinating "knows" about your memories. It's you talking to yourself.

>All I want is literally the widgets Windows had 20 years ago in all platforms.

This seems to me a very bizarre request. I mean, you can literally do that already: write Windows apps using the old user32 APIs and run them in Wine. But then they will look and behave really out-of-place on non-Windows platforms when all your other apps are using the native toolkit.
I've always thought of HyperThreading as marketing with no substance. I've seen applications run slower with HT turned on (admittedly a long time ago). Does this combination of running two threads that are "poorly" written (i.e. they can't make use of all the execution units) really exist? If you're multitasking applications you very rarely have multiple application simultaneously require a lot of CPU cycles (e.g. you might be switching from a spreadsheet to a browser but not doing heavy work on both simultaneously). If you are running some specific heavy computational workload then likely it's already optimized to fully utilize the cores it is getting and HT can actually get in the way of that.

> Whether it's hiring a voice actor who sounds like ScarJo

If we believe OAI. Before anyone mentions the WaPo article, that was a bundle of documents handed to them by OAI. WaPo hasn't spoken to the voice actress. What they have is that this voice actress, who has to remain anonymous because of, quote, "fears for her safety", told her agent (who also has to remain anonymous for reasons) in a statement that "she wasn't told to sound like Scarlett". I'm not sure that it's been shown that SJ wasn't either a training source, by herself, or with this actress, or other.

> being associated with a crypto project (Worldcoin)

With the loophole | caveat that in 1832 there were 46,000 documented British slave owners, most living within the UK, including relatives of Gladstone and Orwell.

The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 formally freed 800,000 Africans who were then the legal property of Britain’s slave owners. What is less well known is that the same act contained a provision for the financial compensation of the owners of those slaves, by the British taxpayer, for the loss of their “property”. The compensation commission was the government body established to evaluate the claims of the slave owners and administer the distribution of the £20m the government had set aside to pay them off. That sum represented 40% of the total government expenditure for 1834. It is the modern equivalent of between £16bn and £17bn.

The compensation of Britain’s 46,000 slave owners was the largest bailout in British history until the bailout of the banks in 2009. Not only did the slaves receive nothing, under another clause of the act they were compelled to provide 45 hours of unpaid labour each week for their former masters, for a further four years after their supposed liberation. In effect, the enslaved paid part of the bill for their own manumission.

Tool to vet a neighborhood before homebuying
Inspecting the neighborhood is not baked into the homebuying process like a home inspection. Real estate agents are not even allowed to explicitly discuss crime rates or demographics of the area with their clients.

Introducing Maptimum – a tool designed to provide you with the most comprehensive neighborhood research reports. Maptimum covers everything you need to know:

- Demographics
- Socioeconomics
- Voting Patterns
- Natural Hazards (floods, earthquakes)
- Nearby Low-Income Housing
- School Ratings
- Land Cover
- Crime and Safety Statistics
- And much more!

Maptimum also synthesizes all this information into a "Desirability Score" and a "Bang for the Buck Index," making it easy to compare different areas at a glance.

You can search by address, neighborhood name, or zip code, and select a radius or shape around it to generate a report.
