2 year olds learn so much about the world, learning to read that early will not do as much as parents expect. Let 2 year olds learn and be exposed to things children of that age normally do, sure an early start here and there is okay. But please do not set high expectations for them and first and foremost, let them play a lot. This obsession with getting them ahead of their peers could backfire, they may later feel alienated from their peers, be misfits in their age group and so on. When the circumstances bring along and when the child gravitates toward early intelectual pursuits let it be as it is of their own choosing.
You rephrased my question, but didn't answer it.
There was some linguist (Deb Roy?) who videotaped his children growing up. One of his observations was that every learned syllable etc. was tied to observing it as a stimulus and trying to imitate it. Now it is true, children are pretty good learners, they can often learn something the first time they see it, but actually I have seen some LLM stuff about "instant learning" - e.g. the training is only done with one pass over the material. https://www.fast.ai/posts/2023-09-04-learning-jumps/
If the material was good, they would not need to make fake documents, right? Either it is low quality, or it is high quality, but from Russia.

I'm guessing in the future, we'll see a lot more automatic inference "on our behalf", and you won't care or notice if its using Llama5:3b or whatever comes out then.

I'm betting that in a few years we'll see LLMs baked into a ton of stuff - lots of "simple" things mostly, like email summary/rewording, and similar "light touch" use cases. Maybe light multi-modal work like photo labeling. Probably expanded to be running in every other SaaS applications doing god knows what. For those, the small models would be more than enough, and much cheaper to run in large volumes.

I'm guessing "chat with a bot to ask questions" will be a small amount of the inference that happens on our behalf, but will use the valuable SOTA model use case.

Here's an idea: learn both. Maybe learn C first, then you will know 75% of C++ and 90% of Go. All Algol-family languages, or C-family if you prefer to start with a language still widely-used, have more in common than not.
Linux was a huge factor in Sun's downfall. Instead of expensive proprietary Solaris on expensive proprietary SPARC hardware, there was this free thing that worked well enough on x86.
I can't possibly understand how anyone could think this. Try living somewhere drone strikes can kill any number of people at any time with no warning and no possible retribution. You don't even know what the person who liked you looks like. For most of human history to kill a man you had to look him in the eye.

The chance of a drunk driver killing a third party is considerably higher than that of a skydiver landing on someone.

That aside:

With modern equipment and training methods, fatalities occur in less than 1 per 100,000 cases and serious injuries requiring hospitalization in less than 2 per 10,000 cases.

This puts the assessment of skydiving as a high-risk sport into perspective, especially considering the definition of high-risk sport as a sporting activity in which athletes must accept the possibility of serious injury or death as an immediate part of the sporting activity, especially when comparing these results with other so-called high-risk sports.

For example, amateur boxers suffer an injury on average every 2.5 h in competition and every 772 h in training, or one in three recreational surfers suffers a traumatic injury within 12 months

Well every other tech company is writing checks to prove they have the chops to make an LLM. From IBM to Databricks to the big guys like Google. Tons of companies made one just to show off to investors or their CEO or just because they wanted skin in the game. But that probably won't continue forever. We've already seen certain orgs that seem to outshine others, and if they can't catch up, they may just accept to using the open-access models or APIs instead.

At some point everyone will realize that it is becoming a commodity, and it is very expensive to train, then only those with wither a structural advantage to lower price (eg Google) or a true goal of being on the high-end/SOTA of the market (OpenAI, Anthropic) will keep going.
The intro/outro is not an agenda, but a summary of the key things you want people to remember from your presentation.

Example:

1. Today I’m going to show you how I make gold from toilet paper. You can do this too, you just need 3 sheets of toilet paper.

2. I developed this process myself in a caravan in my front garden, blah blah blah. (Explain the process)

3. And that’s how you make gold from toilet paper. You can do this too - go and get your 3 sheets of toilet paper, and give it a go!

It may not be a great presentation, but people are more likely to come away from it remembering what you wanted them to remember because you made those points so clear. Great presentations do break these rules, but you’re more likely to be confusing than great.

Better to be dry and clear than attempt to be interesting while leaving your audience lost.
Svelte is the best framework out there. I use it with primatejs in a dozen projects.
So if I’m understanding you correctly, it may make sense to fine tune a model specifically on good rails open source project examples?
I also have ASD and learned to read by myself. I don’t remember exactly how old I was—my mom says it was around 2. I was frequently ready adult books by age 10.

However I can’t say it really helped me as an adult. It’s not like I can read more advanced shit now. There is still a plateau.
Yeah even windows 10 was seen as a privacy nightmare, but iv always know Microsoft just blows when it comes to security. They just don't patch shit sometimes, I can't trust they arnt backdoored. They charge users for the product while mining user data.

I knew it would be BS corporate speech, like it always is from them and certain companies. Its just sad to see this happen
I wanted to make some counter-snark like "I'm pretty sure VisiCalc didn't have mouse support" but I wanted to fact check myself and found a delightful write-up comparing VisiCalc 18 years ahead of Excel, so I will take your side, MS takes credit for someone else's invention as usual, but inventing is only the first step to delivering product.

> It's completely unavoidable for land owners, renters pay nothing at all,

In this world, renters pay all of the expenses incurred by land owners via a payment we call "rent".

Note that LVT discourages diverse development. You see an empty piece of land that should be filled with condos. I see an open space that lets me see something other than condos.

My completely unscientific analysis: aerobics gets the blood circulating more and enables the body to remove stress hormones from the blood at a faster rate.
It takes surprisingly few generations to evolve traits. If there is a distribution of skittishness and a high pass filter takes away everything under a given limit, you'll get rapid evolution.

As another example, urban populations of animals have evolved to tolerate noise in the span of very few generations.

You’ll need a whole new class of training data. A camera strapped to someone’s head as they go about their day, scaled across continents, age groups and occupations. You can’t rely on YouTube, since that’s all edited. Not at all how a toddler would see the world.
I like Costco but I feel that living next to it wouldn't be significantly better than living a bit farther away. It's a place where people with larger homes can buy in bulk and save time and money by storing those bulk items in their homes. There is no good reason to go to Costco more frequently than you can use up those bulk items, or until they expire. Gas and pharmacy would be borderline.

I live within walking distance of a nice grocery store and would definitely prefer that over a Costco. There are more hot food items than just a hot dog and two types of pizza. It's easy to pick up a small amount of fresh ingredients to make a meal at the last minute.
thanks for the reply. I'm pretty set on wanting at least one other co-founder so I have someone to "go to war with" so to speak, but I see your point in not forcing that relationship, especially not when this specific issue could just be hired out.
If there is a correlation, it’s definitely interesting, the same way all science is interesting.
Treat your audience as people with lots on their minds, distracted by their phones, and who are likely sitting in their 10th presentation so far this week. And be humble - your presentation is probably not as interesting as you think.
With this and the subs magnetic field shift on the front page, for the briefest of moments I wondered if they were somehow connected.

Not a weird rate at all; close enough to good old 1200 baud.
If you understand how vector databases work, you realize that LLMs can only tell you what is in the data. There’s no such thing as perfect data except maybe for things like tax preparation or tic-tac-toe.

Inherently, no LLM can provide a solution based on a creative logic it does not possess.

It’s that creative logic that has not been invented/automated yet.

I partially agree, but many humans do infact learn new languages from youtube, TV shows etc. There is also practically infinite minutes of long form conversations on youtube at least in English and Japanese. Not edited just 1+hour long videos of uncut talking.

Funnily enough though, the comprehensible input movement for language learning has already started generating the type of content you're suggesting. Long first person view walks, following day to day activities and usually with a monologue about what they are seeing inbetween.
Antifa is often considered anarchist or communist, so yeah.

This is very much false. Many companies explicitly have a career path for individual contributors, even. Managers can jump higher, sure, but there's still a world of difference between a junior and a principal; and then there's technical fellows.

I did this for a blog post many many years ago. It was surprising how accurate reproductions would be with just simple dead reckoning. No adjustments were necessary and just by having everything in the same positions it would pretty faithfully recreate the original GCODE.

Vile site. Unreadable without nasty popup videos.
Thanks for the detailed summary. I agree with your characterization of it being a mix of empty pandering and deceptive self-aggrandizement. But then again this is Microsoft. They have thrived on acting unethically just below the level of facing serious legal or regulatory consequences. Pointing fingers at ICs or the bizarre tangent about the USSR seems like a strategy engineered to gently deflect and distract while pretending to bear responsibility. But make no mistake - the weak legislators that won’t act against the cabal of giant tech companies are just as or even more guilty.
It does require someone to steal the entire laptop rather than just the hard drive, but… I don’t think that this was an actual worry, and the security result of encrypting to a device with the key stored in the same device is much like not encrypting.

I'll agree with others here and endorse Linux for use by normal people. I've switched multiple family members now and no issues (despite absolutely no technical chops whatsoever on their part)

> As it is often the FUD pointed towards H.265

There is no uncertainty or doubt. The licensing of H.265 is well understood to be terrible.

You yourself are the perfect demonstration of this. You plainly don't know the terms of the licensing for all the different patent pools and individual licensors, and you've contradicted yourself multiple times in this thread. Let's review:

1. First you claimed there were no content distribution fees. That's false.

2. Next you claimed that "content distribution" only refers to streaming and broadcasting. That's false.

3. Then you claimed that "content distribution" does indeed include selling movies on discs. That's true and it means we're back at Claim 1.

Watching you flail about trying to save face is pretty funny, but more importantly it is the clear demonstration that you don't understand the terms of H.265 licensing which is, of course, why the licensing is so terrible.

One of the reasons AV1 is more usable is because its licensing is simpler, clearer, and more straightforward. You've proven that.
It actually kinda makes some sense when you realize that "warp" is a reference to warp threads in actual weaving: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_and_weft.
Because that's where the vast majority of DS/ML is already, and they are too busy to learn something else.
It's not pseudo-psychology, it's just common sense.

Imagine a 1h presentation consisting of three topics. If the listeners don't know how many topics you are going to cover, by minute 42 they will start zoning out, instead of looking forward to the next topic that sounded more interesting. By the end of the presentation they may also have forgotten about the first topic if the last topic was very engaging, even if the first key point was equally important as the third.

It doesn't have to be complicated, just a short agenda or table of contents in the beginning and a quick TLDR summary at the end. Of course you have to apply the technique with finesse, if you only have a short, single topic, it may be repetitive. For longer presentations with several key points it becomes more important.
It's also a recurring theme in the soundtrack of The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Koo was started as a response to X/Twitter because the Indian R/W ecosystem couldn't stand the fact that Musk spoke against the rampant and one-sided censorship requests that Twitter was receiving from the Indian govt.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-56007451

After koo was announced many of the supporters of India's R/W central govt switched over to Koo boosting its numbers.. but as with Meta's Threads, it was inevitable that the platform would lose its shine quickly
Assuming hashes are random (which is a reasonable assumption, considering it's sha256), every extra leading zero cuts the probability of success in half, meaning double the candidates searched to find a matching value. So each additional leading hex 0 would take on average 16x longer than the last.
For OOM, sure. There are still plenty of errors that are often surprising, though–API calls that happen to, say, do XPC for example.
The marketing was 100% trying to sell AI built into a new version of Windows. They completely jumped the shark because of technology.

Possibly a better explanation than the sibling comment: The plane of the moon's orbit wobbles relative to the Earth's equator, with a period of 18.6 years. The "standstill" says that the moon apparently follows the same track from each orbital pass (month) to the next - it refers to the change in the moon's declination (angle above the horizon) at the same point in its orbit on successive months. At the time of a standstill, this change is at its minimum value, because the difference between the moon's orbital plane and earth's equator is momentarily at one extreme of the wobble (the peak or trough of a sinusoid.)

"First in >18 years" is a clickbait headline - the interval is always that, there's nothing special about this one. It's as regular as saying "first full moon in 29.5 days".
Looks like a total whack with loads of credentials

Around 10 years ago, my friend and I were working on an assignment for our intro to programming course. The assignment involved controlling an LCD screen with an Mega 2560 board.

Finally, after many failed attempts and a few too many coffees we managed to complete the assignment. I left a comment in the code “// We did it!!!!”, and we called it a night.

The next day we tried to demo to our TA and suddenly our code wouldn’t upload. Tried multiple PCs, multiple arduino’s, and had multiple TAs look into our code. No idea.

Finally one brilliant TA heard our story and deleted the comment I left. Suddenly the upload worked! Turns out anytime the bootloader saw “!!!” anywhere in the code it would drop into debugging mode and cause the upload to fail. Even if it was in a comment! That bug gave me major trust issues working with that 2560 that semester haha
You're on a rare vector, no doubt about it. It'll be tough.

And if any geeks want to get involved with adding to the recordings but don’t want to invest much, I have a raspberry pi recorder project that can help. It even runs on a pi zero.

As an added bonus, if what you are recording can be heard on three recorders or more you can sound localize with them. Find out where that wood pecker is pecking from for example.

Lastly. You can synchronise the time on all your computers with it as it doubles as a time server with sub-microsecond time accuracy.

The idea of “user’s permission” is determined by tailscale and/or the oidc provider. I don’t know anything about “tail lock”, perhaps it is a new mitigation for this issue?

I didn’t start with tailscale because the only way you could log into it was with Google or GitHub or something. I don’t trust Microsoft or Google with auth for my internal network. I thought about running Headscale but Nebula was faster/easier for me.
