I am from the Netherlands. I think this is an awful and unnecessary innovation. Postage stamps often have pretty pictures on them and I like the act of having to paste one onto the envelope (some of them you have to lick the back of to make them stick). This just seems like another soulless way of making things machine-readable and less human.
Hey Nikolas, right now you have the option to choose one of our preset options for the boss you would like to have (there are three: normal boss, kind grandma boss, agressive asshole boss). In the future, there is definitely going to be an option to customise the boss to your liking.
I would think that the following plane is encountering less drag by surfing the pressure waves of the first, because it is by definition moving into lower pressure air on the back of that wave, which offers less resistance. It seems like it's using the wasted energy that the first plane expended moving the air in the first place, while increasing the size of the first plane would waste even more energy.
they don't work with a backward compatible application binary interface

or more specifically they only work with ABI stability if they ABI doesn't change between epochs

which isn't a issue for Rust because:

- it is cleanly modularized

- it build a whole module "at once"

- it doesn't have a "stable" ABI (outside of "extern/repr C" parts which don't contain non reprC parts rust doesn't even guarantee ABI compatibility between two builds in exactly the same context*(1))

- tends to build everything from source (with caching)

- a lot of internees are intentionally kept "unstable" so that they can change at any time

on the other side due to how C/C++ build things, doesn't have clean module isolation, how it chooses build units, how all of that is combined, how it's normal to include binaries not build by your project (or even you), how such binaries contain metadata (or don't) and how too much tooling relies on this in ways which make changes hard, how it doesn't have build-in package management, how it you specify compiler options and how compiler defaults are handled etc. come together to make that impossible

in a certain way how you specify that you use C++11,17 etc. is the closest C++ can get to rust editions

like initially it might seem easy to introduce syntax braking changes (which most rust edition changes boil down to) but then you realize that build units using other editions have to be able to read the header file and the header file e.g. in context of templates can contains any kind of code and that header includes aren't that much different too copy pasting in the header and that you don't have a standard package manager which can trace which edition a header has and endless different build systems and you kinda give up

purely technically it _is fully possible to have rust like editions in C++_ but practically/organizationally in context of e.g. backward compatibility with build systems it's just way to disruptive to be practical

More than 3000 hour in. Although I’m not playing currently, I feel like I have to take the last quarter off work.
+1000 exactly my experience.

But I will say, here in NYC at least, the first thing boards and mgmt companies do is setup systems to efficiently handle these squeaky wheels so theydon't overwhelm everyone's time, energy or emotional capacity.

On the plus side, I've learned a lot about general mgmt, policy and communication; learned how certain hardware systems work; and I've made a couple of solid business connections from it. My tenant is thrilled. And great stories!!!
The problem is that transformers have a state space which includes attention over their input. Thus, it's very hard to manipulate.

I think you're right, but it will require moving to more recurrent architectures.
Yesterday I was trying to figure out how to configure keymaps in Firefox to open specific container tabs. Spoiler: you can't. It made me wish there was some way to customize Firefox using Lua or some other language.
Wild how the concept of basic accountability for deliberate obvious and egregious lies is breaking so many brains in here.

The way I see it, we either reign in the 'firehose of falsehood' style of electioneering, or we put our future in the hands of the best (ie, worst) liars.

"But if we had laws like this, how would we have ever invaded Iraq and Afghanistan? Would you jail Biden for lying about student loans and pandemic payments, or Obama for lying about Roe v Wade and Guantanamo?! 98% of our politicians would be jailed!!" ... Exactly.

The devil is certainly in the details with something like this - but to say it can't be done (without even trying) is defeatist.

Haha, funny joke. It will totally happen, because as we all know that people in power are great at policing and restricting themselves.

I'm not misreading your comment. The supposed "experts" within the legal profession are utterly corrupt and can't be trusted. That's my point. It's an insiders club and they all support each other and buy vacation homes and give each other's kids jobs. When principles conflict with in-group elitism and closed ranks the latter always wins.

Just like every other group of supposed "experts" in the professional class these days. That's just how America is run in 2024. It's the problem.
The whole prompt is about reinforcing the dominant ideological viewpoints of the right wing of the US electorate. Minimizing the holocaust is perhaps a little bit towards the fringe, but not as much as it used to be. Heck, even on the left it has gained a little traction with younger people.
I like that but alas, bureaucrats will optimize this to happen frequently then use this to justify more budget.

what do you have against seaborn?

The guidance to avoid using Seaborn and to prefer Matplotlib for charts is based on ensuring consistency, simplicity, and avoiding potential issues with styling or compatibility. Matplotlib is a more foundational library that offers greater control over the specifics of the plot, and its direct use can help ensure that visualizations meet precise requirements without unexpected styling changes or limitations imposed by higher-level libraries like Seaborn.

Would be interesting to know how they got a intact ATACMS.

It was clear from the beginning that every weapon system used in Ukraine could and probably would land on the black market, that’s why Israel didn’t provide any own weapon system fearing it would land in the hands of their enemies.
Really hit the false equivalence nail on the head.

Cars enable long-distance travel, which in many parts of the world is now essential for survival, and often that is, ironically, a result of climate change.

LLMs do nothing to aid human survival. In a post-apocalyptic world, cars would be sought after for both transport and shelter, but nobody would give a care that we lost ChatGPT.
"Includes Factorio 2, which is a free upgrade for all users."

Honestly, Factorio is one of those games I would pay extra to keep going. Kudos to them for making the base game upgrade free.
I wonder if it may not be that humans are irrational actors so much that they have insufficient data and may not strictly speaking be optimizing for avoiding shortages.

I could see people being upset if they knew that eggs where out because some rich person bought a disproportionate number of them; it's just that normally they can't know.

I think that most people's preference for limited resources would be a low price with a limit on how many a person can purchase (which is what many stores do during shortages). It seems to me that people care more about making sure that everyone can get some eggs without being gouged than they care about avoiding shortages in aggregate.
I mean it’s easier to build something new than guess how a black box you don’t have access to works (short of spying on the manufacturing facility). I’m sure Russian missile technology has at least somewhat kept up.

Have you got a specific case in mind? I couldn't find one and multiple articles about Wales refer to it as the first country. So where has it not worked before?
>Any other suggestion for fixing the problem of „fake truths“ in politics?

There's no problem of "fake truths" in politics. It's a recently made-up "problem", used to justify controlling.

Politics is the very process of working out disagreements on what is the truth and what needs to be done. You can't agree on truth in advance.

Presumably, there is a step between the NLP and the actual image generation.

Could be function calling, could be some other mechanism. It seems rather trivial to restrict the system at that interface point where the NLP gets translated into image generation instructions and simply cut it off at a limit.

Ah! This.-

PS. Who knows. This ("dealing with the vectors") might become analogous to open sourcing" some day ...
When building a toy demo where we taught GPT4 how to perform queries against a specific Postgres schema, we had to use a lot of those "I repeat", "AGAIN YOU MUST NOT", "please don't", etc. to avoid it embedding markdown, comments or random text in the responses where we just wanted SQL statements.

It was a facepalming experience but in the end the results were actually pretty good.
> Politics is about disagreement about facts.

That only works when both sides have respect for the truth and facts and disagree in good faith. When one side becomes unhinged and unmoored from reality (cf Trump, UK Tories, etc.), things go horribly wrong.
It's also a disagreement about values. For example, voters who align with the two political parties know what abortion is but disagree about when it should be legal.
How is that a fiasco? Per hour played, Factorio is stupendously good value, you pay once and you can play forever.
That’s not correct.

> "If you think you'd really love playing this computer game, please consider avoiding it"

Addiction isn't equal to "really lov[ing]" something, and it's childish to equate them.

Video games are incredibly addictive and ruin a lot of lives. That's not to say they're not valid or good forms of entertainment. Some people just can't handle them.
Same here. I played a lot more games in my teens and 20's than I do now. I also prefer games with less of the "you need to read the guides and watch tutorials before really groking things" type of games these days.
Employment increases by 206K in June; unemployment rate changes little at 4.1%
Not bothered at all by this. These people are sworn in as representatives, or registering in order to compete to be sworn in as representatives. The vote is as sacred as the courtroom. Politicians can be mistaken, politicians can have wildly different interpretations of the facts, but allowing them to deliberately lie is a choice. A bad one.

What case be made for perjury to be illegal and deliberate lying by politicians not illegal that doesn't prioritize the judiciary over the electorate? The choice is between rule by appointed elders or democracy, and our sovereignty, the legitimacy of our government, comes from democracy.

Politicians can even pretend to have wildly different interpretations of the facts in order to deceive the public. They had better not admit that they actually know the truth about those facts in their available communications, though.

edit: another benefit in the US would be that if political parties are fixing a primary, which they have every right to do as private organizations, they would not be able to coordinate this with the candidate themselves.

Lying to the electorate is as essential to democracy as lying to a jury is essential to the justice system.
I'm not baffled, but I do find it a little surprising (yet endearing). A year or so before ChatGPT, I had integrated the GPT-3 API into my site and thought I was being clever by prefacing user prompts with my own static prompts with instructions like those. To see the company itself doing the same exact thing for their own system years later is amusing.

System Prompt Library: "Beltbuckle" :/
I bought it for myself Christmas 2023. I spend the first week of 2024 playing in 36-hour streaks, did not show up to friends and relied on SO to supply me with food. Second week in January i went back to work, but spent most of my time outside of that playing. I restarted social activity in February, around May the addiction had largely burned out and playing increasingly didn't give "the kick" anymore. I had around 500 hrs of Gameplay at that point.

These weeks i still plan to waste every other evening with Factorio, but usually i end up programming or doing housewife stuff instead.

I think i would do that again. Thanks to SO for supporting me when doing silly things.
Other answers here are mostly wrong. They are almost certainly NOT passing in the prompt as English and having the model reread the prompt again each time. What they’ll be doing is passing in the vector representation of the prompt at run time, not “compile time”.

The thing is that passing in the vector embedding representation of the prefix prompt leaves the LLM in the same position as if it had read the prompt in English. The embedding IS the prompt. So you can’t tell whether it literally reran the computation to create the vector each time. But it would be much cheaper to not do the same work over and over and over.

Passing in the prompt as an embedding of English language is more or less free and is very easy to change on the fly (just type a new prompt and save the vector representation). Fine tuning the model to act as if that prompt was always a given is possible but expensive and slow and not really necessary. You don’t want to retrain a model to not use seaborn if you can just say “don’t use seaborn”
Global ignore.
I know you're joking, but I bet that actually would work well here.
If it requires a court case with a jury, I think it's a good experiment to run.

While I agree that more content, especially fighting (or panning) scenes and sports, should probably be more than 24fps. I can't agree that any interpolation would be able to provide sufficient quality.

Let's remove that feature to get rid of that dark dark stain on high-FPS content and let platforms and content creators decide where it fits and where it doesn't.

Can't speak for others... but I generally pay for a few streaming services at a time. I find a lot of the UX just poor to very bad. I will favor those with shows that I watch. I still torrent the shows themselves as it's easier (for me) to do that then to deal with the various apps on my Shield (they're still there, as my SO seems to use them for random watching).

The networks can still track (to some extent) what shows are popular as torrents, and use that to inform their other advertising efforts. A break out (good) show may show indicators on torrents from word of mouth outside their network, and they can then feature that show in their banner areas.

These aren't likely "profit" directly, but they are and can be factors. Another point is loyalty from those who are able to pay, when they are able to pay. Assuming prohibitive costs are what is mainly keeping people from paying for the content.
The Only 6 DNS Concepts You Need
Legislate an easy, fast and unencumbered process to vote ANY politician out of the system by simple popular majority vote which can't be vetoes by any other politician, and couple that with a 5 year ban to hold any of the top-500 political positions (president, parliament, senate, ministries) if vote passes.

It won't help that much and will rarely succeed, but it's better than nothing. Definitely better than toothless, vague and potentially totalitarian legislations like the one described in the OP.

> In no society has "banning lying" ever worked and it never will. Politics is about disagreement about facts.

Many political systems implement ethical guidelines and laws to minimize lying, especially in formal settings like courtrooms and official statements.

Why hold politics to a lesser standard?

> In no society has "banning lying" ever worked and it never will

There have been periods and societies where strong cultural or legal norms against lying have fostered more honest political environments. Ancient Athens had ostracism, where citizens could vote to exile those seen as harmful to the state, including habitual liars.

There used to be laws about lying through your teeth on news broadcasts.. While not perfect, removing them hasn't exactly been healthy for democracy, has it?

In Russia, most people put some part of the blame on the WWI winning coalition for humiliating Germany too much and then failing to keep its power in check, leading to a large, angry Germany in 1939.

The lands the USSR has occupied in 1939 are mostly Russian Empire lands, so USSR never really agreed to part with those. Neither was Germany committed to parting with its German Empire lands. You may argue they have both "signed something", right.

If you praise Germany for changing its strategy after 1945 to avert future wars, at the same time you should blame the US world order for failing to part with strategy which got them WWII after WWI, when dealing with post-Soviet Russia.

As they should have noticed by that moment, you do not get into stable, reciprocital relationship with someone you've either raped into signing a piece of paper or got them to sign for a $2.99 can of food or starve. I believe Soviet troops in 1945 Berlin did not have such expectations, but to my surprise, US and its thralls still do.
Truth is a social construct.

The use of fables, hyperbole, puffery or invoking of spiritual beliefs should not send a politician to jail.

Do you have any source that it is 22 degrees for the entire UK? That seems unlikely.

There is no reason to set all units to the same value in the entire country.

> The law is the exact opposite.

As far as I know if you spend money on a campaign you have to report it. If you get someone to spend money for you, you have to report it.

Seems like what you're trying to say is he didn't have to report it because arguably it had a personal component. Okay but that apparently wasn't the case; after the trial it is clear the payments were mostly for the campaign and not to save his relationship or himself of personal embarrassment. If you're trying to say "well he wasn't charged that way so it can't be election fraud" then again, I think you're missing my point.

Either way, I'm left at trying to guess your point because you haven't been clear in making it.

> They didn’t bring the case because

And?? Leaving aside you don’t know why any prosecutor didn’t bring a case, what are you implying? Make your point instead of dancing around it for 2 days.

Whether a prosecutor thinks they can prove that at trial is a different matter. That he was charged under a different law doesn’t make the underlying conduct okay from an elections perspective whether or not some federal prosecutor decided to charge that.

Either way what he did was he committed fraud and lied about it as POTUS, committing some of those crimes in the Oval Office, all to increase the chances of being elected. That is not okay. That makes one arguably (and definitely in my mind) illegitimate as a public servant. Apparently it’s also a felony.

If you think that conduct is okay because of whatever technicalities you can come up with, you’re missing my entire point.
