IMO, the most distinct flavors in Dr. Pepper are cherry and almond. Benzaldehyde, an "artificial cherry" molecule listed in this spectrometer video, is found in both cherry and almond extracts.

If you're familiar with the taste of amaretto or marzipan, try thinking of those next time you drink a Dr. Pepper. That will unlock the flavor discrimination for you.
Is that only in certain markets? In the US, Pepsi lists the ingredients as:

CARBONATED WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CARAMEL COLOR, SUGAR, PHOSPHORIC ACID, CAFFEINE, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL FLAVOR

What's interesting to me is that it has both HFCS and normal sugar.

Doesn't it sound like they'll try and move the two formats closer together so that there isn't such a format war? IDK how it would benefit Databricks to ruin either format if they're now such huge stakeholders in them both.

Either way, I just want to know which format to pick. I've been chief data engineer at my current company for about a year and would like to be able to move off of plain parquet files in my lake but I'm not sure what table format to choose.

I am amazed that despite the confluence of mainstream public health and influencers on the evils of excess sugar consumption that people still drink so much soda.
Ahhh that makes sense. That’s a much more clear explanation. Thanks!

> There's also a "real sugar" Mountain Dew

By far the grossest pop I have ever drank. Give me HFCS Mountain Dew every time. It is not intended to be anything remotely natural, and trying to make it with cane sugar really ruins it for me. I have no idea why the flavor is so different from the HFCS version.

> what's the problem with modifier keys?!

Lets say your keyboard requires modifier keys for a specific symbol, but your program treats that input differently depending on whether modifier keys are held or not. Or another bad one, lets say your keyboard requires multiple strokes for a specific symbol, for example backticks, and your language uses backticks as quotes...

So many language and programs designed with strange symbols and keyboard modifiers are close to unusable in other keyboard layouts.

Sure. If you have a really small site then it is possible that your data will never be picked up.

However, if it does get picked up then the watermark can be something as simple as a fake concept. For example, “Who is the Siberian Spectral Parrot?” - you can even present this as an alter-ego or something, so you don’t need to hide it from your users. Creativity is really the limit here.

And I think there has been evidence that ChatGPT had picked up small things like Reddit usernames.

But I am open to walking my statement back on it being easy. Maybe you do need a lot more references for some information to be included.

It’s also possible you thought I meant watermarking every content piece. I am talking about a site-wide content license.

Great... it's another hype. It's "just" statistics, very impressive, but as soon as it will run out of training data, it will plateau... and it will run out by GPT-5 or GPT-6 :)

Let's agree to disagree here
Server-side secure enclaves (confidential computing) are becoming significantly more popular for the exact purpose of providing secure online services, and a decent number of companies are already doing this today.

There are technical challenges in using secure enclaves correctly, and those limit adoption. At Anjuna (anjuna.io), we are working on those problems and seeing good results for our customers.
Wouldn't you be able to somehow couple it with another model that takes the NN data and somehow untangles it's convoluted logic into an isomorphic human readable equation, ie. a model that has one task and that is translating NN logic into human equations.

The training data could be real physics in a simulator held up against evolutionary driven AI logic that competes against it with various goals that are then evaluated and if given a high score then marked as isomorphic and given enough runs you'd get a dataset.
> Tracing trendlines in compute (~0.5 orders of magnitude or OOMs/year)

0.5 orders of magnitude is about a factor of 3. We're growing by a factor of 3 in compute every year? I find that rather hard to believe.

Oh, echelon points out the quote:

> Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters.

That's how they're getting a factor of 3 in compute every year - by spending more money every year. That's... probably not sustainable for four more years. If it is, it's not sustainable much past that. You're probably not going to see a ten-trillion-dollar cluster; you're definitely not going to see a one-hundred-trillion-dollar cluster, ever.

> That doesn’t require believing in sci-fi; it just requires believing in straight lines on a graph.

I don't believe in straight lines on a graph. Or rather, I believe that lines are straight over a short enough time span, but may not continue to be straight for, say, twice that time span.

Or, they may stay straight for that long. But I don't rate the plausibility as high as he does. (Especially on the "spend more to increase compute" front.)
Dr Pepper is the only one that has great diet/zero-sugar variants that appeal to (a good number of) the people that like the original sugar-full drink. While there are people who swear by Diet Coke and Pepsi offerings, not even they will say that they are a close match to the real thing (although there are of course oblivious exceptions).
I've experienced both of these -- Good SDK that save you time over the raw API and bad SDK that steals your time. In fact, sometimes both are created by the same organization targeting different platforms!

> We have to go back a few years to 1877 France. The French military used balloons for various purposes and of various sizes, and they had to be anchored using cables. Over time, they ended up with 425 different sizes of mooring cables that had to be individually ordered and inventoried. Talk about a nightmare.
>
> Enter Charles Renard. He was tasked with improving the balloons, but discovered this rat’s nest of cables in the inventory closet instead. He spent some time thinking about it and came up with a series of 17 cable sizes that would allow for every type of balloon to be properly moored.

I'm astonished that 425 distinct mooring-cable sizes were ever allowed to happen, and I'm also slightly astonished that even the cleaned-up version used 17. Anyone have more info about that? What were they doing with all those different-sized ropes? How many different balloon models could there have been?

Yeah thats it, I've never seen contraints used that much in the real world. Unique keys but thats about it. Clever database-level contraints usually come back and bite you in the arse when you're trying to do some large scale change or upgrade or fix.

And if you're building an app you usually want the validation of input to be done as close to the user as possible (like in the UI), not relying on a round trip to the database and handling an exception. And some might say 'well have validation in both places' but then you've got a load of complex stuff to keep in sync which will be a pain in the arse if it gets out of sync (if your db rules differ slightly from your ui rules)

A charitable interpretation of nico is that he was saying a well-trained NN is itself a model of the world. If it can tell you what a system will do given some inputs, then it functions as a model.

Publishers are just plain desperate.

On one hand if you look at the Gannett newspapers annual report you would think the king is on the throne, the pound is worth a pound, etc.

Look at a Gannett newspaper, like The Ithaca Journal, and it is a different story. I picked up a free weekly newspaper (not the Journal) the other day and got accosted by a witness who thought I must be brain-damaged to take an interest in daily newspaper which seems to be a page shorter every day than the day before.

A few weeks ago we had a hotly contested school board election after the superintendent had asked for a 12.5% increase in the budget at a board meeting which was pruned to 8.5% after immediate public uproar.

Well the upcoming school board election was highly anticipated after that and the morning after everybody in town wanted to know the results. All three weekly papers had the election results on their web sites that morning. The daily didn’t have results in paper the next day (though I’ve frequently bought a paper the next day to get election results) and didn’t post the story to their web site until 2:50 pm.

Despite a lack of local news coverage (it’s not like they are sending around reporters to major public meetings like they did 20 years ago) the Journal has a few random stories of national and international news on the home page every day.

Similar arrogance can be found at the first tier papers like The New York Times, WaPo, and such. Most recently post.news got shut down by its investors and one reason was probably that first-tier papers weren’t at all interested in engaging with a paywall alternative.

Are we really surprised by this point?

Over the last 2 years (and really longer if you look at Google) time and time again privacy has been put in the background, properly vetting tools for reliability has been put in the background, all in the name of shoving AI into every single thing for investors or because they are scared.

In a few months we will have the next horrible privacy invasive AI thing from one of these companies that is being shoved at us if we want it or not.

On the topic of this actually existing, this is opt out and not opt in I assume? Which just makes this 100% worse.

Will be honest, when this was announced I did not even think of the ability for trojans to get onto your computer and get a lot of sensitive data. I was more concerned about this data being synced between devices and stored on a server somewhere. But that really is one hell of a problem that could cause a lot of issues.

I just think about how often for some game launchers I need to open 1Password to copy my password.

This just makes it more and more that Windows is only for gaming and I will never do anything serious on Windows again.

How does that change anything? If anything that adds a suspense element to the story: we're not sure if all the Lord of Light stuff is true, but finally when Jon is resurrected, we find out that it is.

To be fair, though, it was established before then that it was true, unless you didn't believe that Dondarrion had actually been repeatedly resurrected, and that it was just a story they told to make him more fearsome. Which is also fair, but it still feeds into the point of the suspense: if you had trouble buying the fact of the Dondarrion resurrections, then you finally got your answer when Jon got his treatment.

Also recall -- if you read the books and aren't just relying on the TV series -- Catelyn Stark was also resurrected after her death during the Red Wedding, though her resurrection didn't go quite so well physically, since her body had already partly decomposed in a river, or mentally/emotionally, as she turned into a non-empathetic vengeance machine.

Valve chose KDE for SteamOS, including as the desktop mode on the Steam Deck, a device sold to be so user-friendly that it can compete with home consoles including the Nintendo Switch. (Not saying that desktop mode itself is as foolproof as a console interface, just that it can't be a total usability disaster for people who bought a Steam Deck for gaming and not as a Linux desktop)

Emphasis on chose KDE, not forked KDE. I agree with people who say that KDE has gone to great lengths to be customizable enough that you can mostly set it up the way you want without forks, extensions, or even registry editors.

I can't speak to how difficult Valve found it to work with KDE, but it says a lot that they still chose it overall. It's not often we get such a clear positive signal from a company that invests so heavily in user experience.

Yet it was at the time challenging for me to learn new frameworks and I found all of the tooling I never heard of rather confusing.

I don't know if passing the turing test is really that much of an accomplishment. Some would argue we create software that passed the turing test when Eliza was made, which was developed in the 60s.

Your testing more of how easy it is to fool a person and exactly how intelligent or smart an artificial system is.
