You're close, but it's not a few nights in a row, it's a few months in a row - the standstill is that it returns to the same angle above the horizon on each orbital pass (month), and thus to the same spot in the sky. (Night to night, the moon isn't in the same spot, because it's revolving along its ellipse to a different true anomaly position.)

Yes, but it’s very expensive.

My point is that it can be possible to bring down all kind of electronics control unit into single standard component. The toaster and your dishwasher can have the exact same electronics since they wouldn’t need specialized computer that needs to have specialized software and wouldn’t need specialized engineering to make the software work with the hardware. Just connect the sensors and the other hardware like the heating unit to the AI board and tell it what it is and tell it to act like a toaster.
Good one. But to be statistically meaningful you’d need to tell us how big, and where on the west coast. The west coast is huge.
Covid and Noun-Memory Effects
I just watched the whole Dwarkesh/Chollet interview, and just like Dwarkesh was clearly not convinced by the Chollet's arguments, neither am I. I still expect decent results (>50%) on ARC benchmark soon (this year) now that the AI community has noticed it. I took another look at it, and it seems the problem is not so much in the complicated visual input encoding, it's more about the actual spatial intelligence. I don't really see what ARC benchmark has to do with AGI, other than AGI will require spatial intelligence - in addition to all other kinds of intelligence. To solve these puzzles we are likely to need a model that has been trained to predict the next frame in a video stream, probably something like SORA - in addition to predicting the next word. 4o/Opus/1.5 have some amount of spatial intelligence because they were trained to correlate text with a static image, but I'm guessing we need to use a lot more visual training data to gain ARC-level spatial intelligence at their scale. I think they might still get to 50% with some finetuning and other tricks, but I would not even try any lesser models. I think that if GPT-5 is being trained on videos, SORA style, it should have no problem beating humans on this test. Regarding Chollet's discrete program search, I'm not familiar with that field, and I didn't quite get the idea of how to combine it with DL. Over the years I've heard some very smart people proposing complex approaches towards building AGI (Lecun, Bengio, Jeff Hawkins, etc), yet scaling up deep learning models is still the best one we have today. If Chollet believes in his hybrid, whatever it is, he should build some sort of a prototype/PoC. Why hasn't he? In any case, the good news is most of academic AI labs today don't have the money to scale up transformers, so they are probably trying out all these other ideas.

So you're not worried about impending mass unemployment, ok. That does make me feel a little better. I can be wrong, and I really want to be wrong.
That is very strange. Local libraries subscribe to Elsevier journals, for example? What would be the point in that? If not, then they are not similar, since that’s the main purpose of a university library

Youtube is youtube kids. The first one really have a curiosity to learn and explore. We were really surprised he got the idea of how to count almost unlimited numbers. We only taught him it just repeats and changes name once you reach the end of tens. He was also able to do arithmetic just by watching number blocks and learned multiplication by 3 yrs old just by explaining to him the concept of addition, subtraction and multiplication. The other guy is totally different he can memorize songs and retell stories on a book (he can't read) told to him. He likes to be babied don't even try to touch the remote for fear of losing what he is watching. They are both intelligent it just that the other guy is not interested in exploring by himself. I think language development was the key to early development because they could understand what you are explaining to them.
I found the easiest way was vacuum sealing some chocolate and sticking it in a souvee at 92f overnight. Agitate a bit after it's melted and a while before removing it from the warm water. I use the method for making tempered cocoa butter to use as seed in my tempering machine. The exact temperature varies by type of chocolate. The trick is getting it just below the point that type 5 crystals form. It's perfect to make seed chocolate for when I use the tempering machine, saves a lot of time and there's the convenience of having a big pool of chocolate for molding, it's better to have a bigger pool than you need so that when you pour out molds you can do it directly into the working pool.
Who are the trusted custodians and do you publish the regular audits?
Southern California. I'd estimate the median household income at my kid's elementary school (which is the most local) to be over $200k. The public secondary schools cover the entire area, so are more economically diverse.
Agreed, I mostly referred to gear changes (downshifts) used to engine brake as I described in my other comment: it's certainly less friction than on brake pads, but it's slightly more than with usual gear changes (assuming smoother rpm matching). But we are talking minute wear on either, but the price difference is significant, so I just wonder — translated to thousands of km/mi — how does it compare?
This kind of delays always amuse me. Did they conduct user research after they come up with the idea? I highly doubt that all 100% were happy about it.
It sounded like they made it flexible so they could slot in other models. Maybe it will even allow users to choose the model, once there are more options.
I made a decent twitter esk app in a few weeks. It was pretty decent but finding active users is super challenging.

> At first they lived near a cemetery, and Mencius amused himself with acting the various scenes which he witnessed at the tombs. “This,” said the lady, “is no place for my son;”—and she removed to a house in the market-place. But the change was no improvement. The boy took to playing the part of a salesman, vaunting his wares, and chaffering with customers. His mother sought a new house, and found one at last close by a public school. There her child’s attention was taken with the various exercises of politeness which the scholars were taught, and he endeavoured to imitate them. The mother was satisfied. “This,” she said, “is the proper place for my son.”

That was one of the Jokes from David Gunson's "What goes up might come down" [1]; an after dinner speech given and recorded in the early 80's. It's 50 minutes long, which briefly takes you through his history as a fighter pilot, self employed civil servant doing ATC and then gives the listener some handy hints on how to fly, take-off and land a jumbo yourself (should you ever find yourself in that situation) as well as some musings on Concorde.

A truly hilarious and surprisingly educational listen, recommended to anyone who likes flying and Pythonesq humour. Stunningly quotable as well.

I caution that there are a couple of questionable and dated jokes made, but for early 1980's it's surprisingly PC.

The problem is that everyone is more desperate for money now than ever before. As a result, they indiscriminately associate everything with "AI" because they see it as a quick way to make money. This has led to the term "AI" becoming so overused and diluted that it has lost its meaning. AI toilet. AI coffee machine. AI fridge. AI BBQ etc. it’s just all bullshit which ruins the essence of the actual technology.
I once had a Bug in SQL Server, where a SUBSTRING(field, 1, 255) in a varchar field that was 255 in size improved the query performance about 1.5 times.

We never found out, what the problem was, but we traced it down to the SUBSTRING - removing it made the query significantly SLOWER.

That was weird.
>Not agreeing to something that one does not want, in spite of tolerating qualitatively similar yet different objects that one also does want not want, is not "hypocrisy". It's a boundary.

It is hypocrisy because there is no difference.

None of you have yet managed to answer what differences, if any, exist between Recall and All The Other Tracking Siphoning Things(tm) most of us either accept or tolerate.

>Your need to resort to such a non-agreeable tactic, alone, should inform you that your logic is the problem if not your motive or Recall itself.

I am asking you all a question and so far noone has managed to answer it. If none of you can answer what exactly about Recall makes it unacceptable unlike All The Others(tm), your logic is flawed.

Again: What is the difference? I do not see any.

>Do "most" people have the option of easily turning tracking completely off? Most are "fine" with it?

To the former: Actually, yes; just don't use the services or software that track you. As unenforcable as EULAs are, we all agree to them and it is made explicitly clear we can reject by not perusing.

To the latter: Also, yes; everyone happily uses iCloud and Google Photos and OneDrive and Dropbox and whatever else that tracks user data. To say nothing of Windows, and even Firefox (yes, Firefox phones home) that people happily use.

>And who are significant enough that you feel compelled to argue with them here.

Significant in the sense that apples are significant in an orchard, but apples only comprise a small portion of all trees and most trees don't care.

Likewise, techies bitch in tech circles and the noise is significant, but in the world at large techies are an insignificant minority as far as whether tracking is acceptable or not is concerned.

Whether I can persuade you is irrelevant, the commons still do not fucking care about digital privacy. Seriously. That's the reality. It's like how the Earth will spin and keep spinning no matter what any of us do.

One of Recall's biggest marketing spiels is that it's all stored and processed locally. If Microsoft violates that marketing then they're guilty of false advertising and we can absolutely throw books at them for it, but that's tangential to the collection and processing of user data.

> I am not under the impression that anyone has illusions about the Green party here. It is evident they are greenwashing and destroying environment (for the climate of course) among other things they supposedly "don't stand for".

Sources? Details?

Lots of hate, zero substantiation. The greens are the party that pushed environment protection for decades, long before anyone cared.

The problem they have is they are held to a different standard than other parties for one and secondly their programme is thought to be only about ecology. It has become a national sport in France and germany amongst politicians to blame the greens for environmental measures which are constraining for the average citizen. Even when for example in France they are not even in the government.

In Germany their members are regularly attacked (as in violence) due to the amount of hate other parties generated about them.

It’s really sad, and I think we need a party which is strongly for ecology but not called “the greens”, otherwise it’s too easy for populists to bash them.

Politicians are concerned because AI has the potential to eradicate middle-class jobs, especially those involving repetitive tasks like data entry. This could create significant socioeconomic issues. Consider how easily AI could replace project managers once integrated with tools like Jira, or how it could automate jobs that involve copying and pasting information between spreadsheets. This level of automation is what many have been anticipating, except for those without marketable skills, who may find themselves at a significant disadvantage.
Rabbit Holes in Shader Linking
"how many clicks does it take to install Nvidia or steam" is not a good measure of a distro. I will stand by that statement strongly, I think. Let imagine a totally-not-real distro that definitely isn't pushed on noobs constantly. Let's imagine that include that said distro has, multiple times, let their SSL cert expire and at least once recommended users roll back their clock. Is that a "good distro" for noobs because it slips the Nvidia package in?

Fuck. No.

All of these things are true. But the real advantage of Costco is that they’ve been consistent in their strategy for years. Having built a loyal customer base by offering high-quality products at reasonable prices, they haven’t shifted gears to raise prices or fill their stores with garbage products and coast on their brand recognition. This is shockingly unusual in today’s (US) economy.
As I understand it, RAG is focused more on capturing and using external resources on an ad hoc basis, where fine tuning looks to embed a specific 'behaviour' change in the model for a particular need?

> This page[1] states "Snapshots are encrypted by Device Encryption or BitLocker".

That sounds like it just means it's encrypted at rest - ie. while you're logged out - but transparently decrypted in much the same way as everything else on the system while you're logged in. That is to say, any running malware would have just as much access as it would do on a system that doesn't use encryption.

From a functional point of view, it can be treated as being equivalent to being unencrypted, with the exception being when you aren't logged in - at which point you're not running any programs anyway.

No, they are exactly the same, but taken to their extreme, yet inherent evolution.

Putting you in jail or hanging you for "illegal speech" are just two degrees of punishment for violating the laws of the land, as it were. The degree of punishment is just a cultural thing. The only question is one: are you free, or not?

It also makes it a lot harder to bypass the login screen, even if someone takes the whole laptop.

In case you weren't aware, the ability to do a passwordless unseal can be tied to not tampering with the bootchain. It's not entirely bulletproof, but it's beyond the abilities of most thieves to bypass this (versus just popping the drive in another machine).
Okay. Now they have a distro from someone that doesn't care to respect licensing terms. And an end user who apparently can't be trained to click a few times in an app store...

Yeah, let's imagine how they react to their entire system being broken and some rumblings of "well maybe if you change time". Yeah, sure, okay, I'm sure a user that can't install a package will be able to handle that. /s

Maybe it's simply because I AM a distro maintainer, that I just roll my eyes at all of this. What's pre-installed is so trivial it's almost nothing to me when I think about why I chose my distro. How fast can they react to security reports? Are they abreast of developments in the Linux ecosystem and adjusting and experimenting with defaults? Really truly? Because even in (my distro) where I can tell you the names of owners of specific areas, there's still some gaps we could cover better.

The curse of knowing too much. Or maybe my empathy meter is way off tonight. Idk.
