At least my understanding was that no, their vote is the same as any vote. In practice, of course, this won't matter one bit. Decisions will still be made by someone at the top. They'll just have to be washed through a populist propaganda campaign to ensure the mechanics of voting work out.
Bytedance would be valued higher if they didn't have geopolitics weighing them down
It definitely is. Although I think their development decisions have been really bad and so there's openings for competition.

What kind of currents do you need?

I've considered the idea before and it seemed to me that since you need a fixed number of electrons for every metal ion you deposit that the currents end up being huge.

Also deposit speeds tend to be slow. How fast can your process layer metal (say in grams per hour)?
Weird article.

It mentions multiple times that ~”the protein folding problem is solved” as well as multiple instances of ~”but there are limitations to this technique and it is often missing crucial details”.

It really is difficult to conceptualize these highly nonlinear problem spaces, like protein folding, until you attempt to work with them.

Many in software development have an intuitive understanding of the difficulty evidenced in the community’s ~“the last 10% took 100% of the time” meme.

Even in a nonlinear problem spaces you have “trivial” solutions.

Terry Tao famously coauthored a paper finding arithmetic progressions for generating sequences of primes.[1] The sequences found are “trivial” in terms of “solving the prime sequence problem” in that they are sparse, the sequences are finite, and progressions lack a method of find more.

These machine learning tools are by design approximation engines. I’m unsure of any results that prove one way or the other that it is possible to pass a bound of approximation that provides exact solutions. (think, an approximate solution that only fails to provide exact solutions for solutions that are trivial using a different method, I think a lot of work I p-adics is motivated similarly)

I feel these machine learning techniques are expanding the definition of “trivial solutions” to include those capable of being solved by their convoluted methods (back prop, etc). Since this new subset of the space that can be labeled “solved” appear more complex than known trivial solutions people assume the whole space must be known, and this is where the difficult conceptualization rears its influence.

Protein folding is still an unsolved problem, and I’m dubious of the notion machine learning will ever solve it, but hopefully we get some helpful science out of it.

Seems low to me. It seems quite plausible for SpaceX to be able to complete a space mining operation given their current operations and runway. If you can bring a trillion dollar rock back to Earth or at least LEO every few years, that's quite a valuable company.
Did the people building dall-e care?
I ate yogurt and nuts in the mornings. Breads, lots of potatos. Lots of lentils which are legumes and have about the same protien per dollar and weight as chicken. I also put walnuts, peanuts, lots of other nuts and seeds, oils etc in my cooking. I cooked in bulk in a large pot.

I also ate 5+ bowls a day a day.

I just could not reach my calorie requirements.

I did exercise everyday by going up the nearby mountain. Adding protien powder to my meals helped, but adding meat made it very easy to substantially increase my calorie intake.
> DNC leaks

Assange is a journalist. The DNC leaks were public interest. The fact that they occurred during an election heightened that public interest. They were 100% justified in the US in moral and legal terms under 1A. Unless you are still tilting at forgotten politicians its really really weird to keep harping on about.

>This isn't how the law works.

What has law got to do with morality, other than often standing in the way of morality?

He has consistently maintained that the crime they charged him with "Soliciting covert information" should be protected under 1a. Or at least otherwise protected as journalism. He isnt even a US citizen mind, but US law doesnt give a shit.

Law should follow morality. Any normal right thinking human bean should understand that its literally the job of journalists to solicit and expose public interest information. If the government is committing crimes, if the government is acting in a way counter to their domestic narrative (which you base your vote on), if the government is treating its foreign partners especially shittily, the public has a right to know.

That the US had made doing so a crime, is a matter for the US electorate to deal with. They should remove the dumb as dogdoodoo law, or remove the government that opposes removing that law, physically if necessary. That he failed to abide by a set of stupid rules in doesn't suddenly make his actions amoral.

Its not that on balance he did some good and some crimes. Its that his crimes were in the public interest, so the law that made his actions criminal, is at fault not he.

I actually don't understand why this has to be brought up. I don't understand why people cling to law as a substitute for morality. Governments are very often wrong.
Are those people here? Do you reckon GP is one of them?
It’s been a long time since I worked with C, but my recollection was that a) strict aliasing allows for optimizations that are actually worthwhile, and b) it’s really easy to type pun in a defined way using unions anyway.
You can get a prescription from a doctor if you have trouble sleeping. My sleep doctor prescribed me a sublingual suspension instead of the tablets (you measure it with an oral syringe and squirt it under your tongue), and to take it earlier than what is recommended. I do just 1mg, 2 hours before sleep and since starting my sleep has been far, far better than it ever has been in my life.

The sustained release tablets (like ‘Circadan’ or similar branding) I found were not good - I’d wake up groggy and generally didn’t get good sleep. They were just prescribed by a regular GP, and the sleep specialist I saw later on thinks it’s counter productive because they keep releasing longer than you want it to.
Your website mentions printing on pcbs, do you expect this to be a competitive option for pcb prototyping or manufacture?

My interpretation has always been that any wiring of the network carries its own bias. Thus, a random wiring is biased as well. Your point still stands perfectly on its own though and now I am less sure about the interpretation I have had over all these years.
It seems to have sped up a lot, otherwise I would have recommended something like Claude Haiku which is lightweight, cheap, faster and capable of this kind of work.

Quality goes up a lot with images though. I was going to complain that it mostly recommends white people fashion, but if you upload a photo of a hijabi in a long dress, it does quite well. It finds something with matching colors, and doesn't do the expected faux pas of a hijab and miniskirt.

You might be on to something; it just needs some more polish.

> You can say ‘the recent jumps are relatively small’ or you can notice that (1) there is an upper bound at 100 rapidly approaching for this set of benchmarks, and (2) the releases are coming quickly one after another and the slope of the line is accelerating despite being close to the maximum.

The graph does not look like it is accelerating. I actually struggle to imagine what about it convinced the author the progress is accelerating.

I would be very interested in a more detailed graph that shows individual benchmarks because it should be possible to see some benchmarks effectively be beaten and get a good idea of where all of the other benchmarks are on that trend. The 100 % upper bound is likely very hard to approach, but I don't know if the limit is like 99%, 95% or 90% for most benchmarks.
Some of it I was able to verify immediately, some I confirmed by poking around in Github repos once I knew the magic words, some I haven't verified yet.

For example, I wasn't sure if there was good support for USB devices in Rust. Just not something I'd ever bothered to investigate. Claude knew that there was a libusb wrapper and a "rusb" crate, and claimed that support for USB in Rust was stable. I verified the existence of the crates, and I'll take Claude at its word for stability unless I discover otherwise.
SpaceX designed reusable rocket first stage to slash costs. Everybody said reusability only makes sense when there's lot of flights - because large development costs have to be distributed across many flights.

So, roughly, to ensure Falcon-9 flies a lot, SpaceX invented Starlink which could use a lot of flights. Now they have a well-functioning rocket company - 2-3 second stages built per week, and ocassional first stage - and the Starlink, which is already in black.

Now they use the money to get Starship flying, and in 1-3 years they'll likely get it to fly well enough. And they'll have the question what to do with that huge capacity, so they'll have to invent something which needs a lot of super-heavy launcher flights. Could it be a significant Moon base, for tourism, science, manufacturing, resource utilization?

How much SpaceX as a company will cost then?
When collecting there's a selling price and a buying price. The difference can be -substantial-.

For example, stamps have a catalog. Literally a giant book, with all the stamps and variations, and the current value. (Ahem, buying value). Think if it as a giant "vendor neutral" price guide. [1]

Now obviously when you come to sell you mostly sell to a dealer. So you expect him to take some margin. He has to make a living. But the margin they expect will make your eyes water. (50% to 90% is common). Do test $100 stamp you have is say $10.

But eBay- sell direct. Sure you get more. But still a lot less than book value (partly because scams etc makes eBay risky for good stuff.) And it's it's lot of extra work. Useful for one or two pieces, less useful for 50. (And, of course, scams happen in both directions.)

That's if you know what you have. Selling someone else's collection on eBay when you don't know what you have is equally tricky.

In short, collections are expensive to acquire and hard to get rid of. The value in collecting is the joy of acquiring and having. Collections are (with rare exceptions) not a financial investment.

[1] my insight into stamp collecting died 20 years ago, so I'm guessing this catalog is online now.
It's not confident because OA2143 is a fake form I made up.
> staging->prod is a merge

I might be misunderstanding what you mean by staging in this case. If so, my bad!

I don't think staging ever actually gets merged into prod via git history, but is rather maintained as separate commit trees.

The way that I visualised the steps in this flow was something like:

- Developer Commits code to feature branch
- Developer Opens PR to Main from feature branch: Ephemeral tests, linting, validation etc occurs
- Dev Merges PR
- CI checks out main, finds the helm charts that have changed, and runs the equivelant of `helm template mychart`, and caches the results
- CI then checks out staging (which is an entirely different HEAD, and structure), finds the relevant folder where that chart will sit, wipes the contents, and checks in the new chart contents.
- Argo watches branch, applies changes as they appear
- CI waits for validation test process to occur
- CI then checks out prod, and carries out the same process (i.e. no merge step from staging to production).

In that model, there isn't actually ever a merge conflict that can occur between staging and prod, because you're not dealing with merging at all.

The way you then deal with a delta (like ver 1.0.1 in your earlier example) is to create a PR directly against the Prod branch, and then next time you do a full release, it just carries out the usual process, 'ignoring' what was there previously.

It's basically re-invented the terraform delta flow, but instead of the changes being shown via Terraform by comparing state and template, it's comparing template and template in git.

> ultimately couldn’t get the tooling and workflow to fit together when I last tried this

I genuinely feel like this is the bane of most tooling in this space. Getting stuff from 'I can run this job execution on my desktop', to 'this process can scale across multiple teams, integrated across many toolchains and deployment environments, with sane default' still feels like a mess today.

Yes of course, as always, it's very possible that just scaling solved the problem, but the fact that the model is so good makes me wonder if they actually did something different and pre-trained the model on image tokens as well.
People do like to talk about emacs bindings causing RSI, usually to rib on the editor and to keep the tradition of the editor wars going. However, there really isn't all that much evidence for it, is there?

Of course it's often in jest and somewhat famously the plural of anecdote is data, but it would be nice to know if there actually is something to the RSI. Ergonomics is complicated enough as-is.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet's coding abilities are incredibly impressive. I think it lets an expert programmer move more than twice as fast. There are limits - to produce high quality code, not copy-and-paste pablum, you have to be able to give detailed step-by-step directions and critically evaluate the results. This means you can't produce code better than you would have written by yourself, you can only do it much faster.

As an experiment, I produced a set of bindings to Anthropic's API pair-programming with Claude. The project is of pretty good quality, and includes advanced features like streaming and type-safe definitions of tools. More than 95% of the code and docs was written by Claude, under close direction from me. The project is here:

https://github.com/cortesi/misanthropy

And I've shared part of the conversation that produced it in a video here:

They didn't invent Starlink. They bought the company.
I'm sure you're right. "Preconception" is more specific than bias and would apply before the training starts. Something it learns from the training is not a preconception it had. And I wouldn't assume there even is "training data" that existed when the net was initialized.
The specific issue of using a LLM to make org decisions on how to downsize actually affects nearly all jobs equally.

From what I can tell, most programmers are more ok with LLMs directly replacing them than artists are. I tend to agree that it is better to replace programmers, and protect artists.
Yea… um, also… I like sleeping. I find it a nice change of pace compared to the rest of my day.
If you are trying to imply that the issue is precipitated by Islam, it’s important to note the beliefs and attitudes that you are mentioning are not endemic to Islam.
Looks like there is some sort of DOS attack =(
Also, Anthropic Projects is HUGE.

You get to create a set of default instructions that all project prompts to adhere to, like: Use Linq whenever possible. Consider Fluent capabilities when it will improve developer experience.

Then you can add all of your existing code (though as has been pointed out, connecting to a repo would be ideal).

And then you can have multiple conversations within that project, so you can separate your lines of thinking.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the product overall much more than ChatGPT. I do wish it had voice input that rivaled what OpenAI previewed. Excited for 3.5 Opus. For now I’ve canceled OpenAI subscription and removed the app in favor of Claude.
I don't think this is correct. As far as I understand it, Elon/SpaceX did attempt a previous investment in satellite internet, but it had died long before Starlink came to be in 2014.
It will be almost impossible to not outbid bitcoin miners for electricity due to the fact that mining is a non-geographically constrained free market where miners are not profitable unless their electricity cost is very close to zero (i.e. otherwise wasted energy). As soon as there's other demand for the same energy, bitcoin mining will instantly become unprofitable in that area and they will need to relocate.
Critical MOVEit vulnerability puts swaths of the Internet at risk
>Is it because all the customers and services are in the same city so it appears low latency?

Yes. It's because the internet of Korea is so well done between nearly all areas of the country with great speeds.

But it's true that Korean internet is super fast only within Korea, but the borders are also normal fast borders to other countries so they're just as fast as say a 1gbps connection in Australia.

Good Korean internet is not a myth, they had fibre everywhere by the time rich people in the US or Europe were getting it. Korean internet is good, it's just that their ISPs are also fairly evil like the rest of the world, but they have less freedom constraining their evils.
Exactly! This is lunacy.

Which is another thing that a front-line worker would easily be able to answer.

https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs-search?search=OA2143

Ultimately, the tax question you asked it is something simple for a front-line worker to answer. So either one of two things must be true:

* either GPT-4o is so bad at answering tax questions that it cannot even answer easy ones confidently

* or GPT-4o is so bad at determining its own confidence level that it doesn't know when it is able to definitively answer even an easy question.

Either situation makes it bad for this task.

As I mentioned above, humans are good for answering questions even when they don't know the answer, because they're good at expressing their confidence to other humans. In this case, you'd want the support agent to answer definitively that animals do not qualify as dependents. One could certainly make their chat bot answer unconfidently randomly, or in response to strange questions, or all the time, but then the confidence signal isn't actually providing social value of communicating certainty.
In general, the ECAM process is actually a highly energy efficient means of manufacturing especially when compared with other metal AM techniques that use either a laser or furnace to thermally process the material. Specifically, there's quite a lot of energy that goes into making the metal powders that is avoided as the input to the ECAM system is a precursor material several steps upstream of a typical refined metal.
Was about to message and ask if this was region locked to North America or something.
I find LLM coding much less useful when it’s interacting with a large existing codebase. It’s certainly good at one-off type code and greenfield projects (especially if similar to other open source stuff). And it’s also good at getting started if you aren’t an expert yourself.
