> I wonder if Tokyo decided to build a few more lines/expand the capacity of the existing ones (e.g. by building extra tunnels or elevated lines on existing rights of way), if there is a point where the train capacity really could exceed the peak demand the city could produce

I doubt it - more capacity just means more population growth and more demand. Central London has reached a point where they're worried about the pedestrian capacity on some central bridges. But in what's already the most populous and second most economically productive metro area in the world, of course there are very real benefits to growing further.

> more interestingly, I wonder how many trips don't happen in car-dependent cities (or ones with decrepit transit like NYC) because of how inefficient their infrastructure is at moving people.

NYC does pretty well, but yeah of course available transport affects what people can do. I saw an interesting conception of this as the "effective size" of a city, e.g. how many people and jobs there are within a 30- or 60-minute commute radius.

> A noticeable effect to me of all this transit is that the car traffic on the roads usually is pretty minimal.

Not my experience. Tokyo gets as gridlocked as anywhere else during rush hour, and they're constantly building new roads as well (including e.g. a fourth expressway ringroad).
ASR systems already use language models during decoding, though mostly not large decoder-only LLMs. However, incorporating LLMs into ASR is currently at the center of a lot of research, e.g. using a speech encoder like wav2vec 2.0 or the whisper encoder with a Qformer etc. and a LoRA adapter on an LLM trained for ASR.
In the car you have to pay attention to the road, you have a lot of responsibility and put yourself and others at risk if you don't pay attention. You always have to return to the place you left your car and usually have to pay to park it. I really love public transport and outside peak hours i usually get a seat so I can read a book. If I have to drive, all that time is completely wasted because the attention paying precludes doing anything useful with my time.
I looked it up on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakelite) which said:

They’re in different social circles! They don’t socialise with each other. That’s the difference. Bardella is a college drop-out, for instance.

A.k.a. .. enumeration.
That’s fair. In the interview LeCun uses the example of flying from San Francisco to New York and he asserts that these systems are not good at hierarchical reasoning. I’m no expert in this field so I take him at his word but maybe it warrants further explanation.

He also says that such a system wouldn’t be familiar with how to actually move through the world because we don’t have good datasets for how to do so. The rest of what I said still stands. These systems aren’t good at things for which we don’t have massive datasets, and they’re not able to devote different amounts of thinking time to different problems.
I suspect that some more data has been breached than Wise wants to disclose, but the bad practices in industry does not surprise me. It could be that the card provider for wise is at fault here and not wise directly but the fact that charges still happen and get declined due to inadequate funds without notifications for approval(which always happens for me on manual entry unless I used a vendor several times for same amount) for very random never before used vendors around the globe in short time should definitely trigger some fraud alerts.

thanks I think that that's really kind of scary, but motivational as to putting up a moon colony so that we just have a 2n base. H But I have. have a few questions. If you've got a minute, must be nerve wracking to work there.

looks like it would be coming from the sun's direction because it is kind of a. dominating force , but i wonder why a couple days after a flyby is when they are often detected. Is it just because the sun is able to light/heat it up more?

Also, I'm wondering what software you use to to do the modeling for one. And if it's open source. and if it's reversible , so you can back it up and fix positions when new datas comes in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi%E2%80%93Pasta%E2%80%93Ul...
That was done at Los Alamos with a Maniac and the first version was fixed point, but as you can see it looks chaotic, but then there's a semi ring. There's a repetition. So I I'm guessing that's why that we care about are flybys. They go by once and at some point they'll come back.

https://www.josstam.com/reversible

This might help if you click the reversible to use fixed point. you can go back and and retrace.. the steps even with a rough integration.

as soon as you have a correction for any of them, you can place that correction. By reversing the entire model or the solver.

I'm guessing there's such a cloud of objects you use something like. Fluid solver, even if you had to do that to some other body, then may have had an influence on the body that's under investigation, and you have new data for that, it might help to make the prediction more accurate. And without introducing any discontinuities in the model, if the past positions help determine the future ones going back.

You can see here (Stam) that even though it's chaotic like an N body problem, there is a semi ring and it repeats. So what appears to be maybe chaotic over time would be periodicity of the lineup. Then it seems, though, when certain planets are lined up. It's more likely that it's gonna have this this. confluence of Of gravitational influence. that will bring it in our direction. I'm thinking thinking Jupiter, Mars, the moon and the sun and the earth in between. Jupiter all the way to the earth is basically one orbit. At that velocity S50 kilometers uh second.

Also, I wonder if. the if something hit the back of the moon, would we even notice that until we go to the back of the moon or with a lunar reconnaissance or over and we find some craters that have direct impacts so that it would have could have been our planet killer. I'm sure there's quite a few up there with some some markings that will indicate that it probably injected some heavy metal right at that very crater. A direct hit. The moon was in the way because the the lineup of the two bodies ,that caused the dynamic in the first place. I'm guessing here.

Thanks again for making that chart.
> Britain had been the world’s strongest major economy for over a century since Napoleon crippled the Dutch economy and Britain invented modern industry.

Yes, because they had the world's biggest navy and effectively controlled the sea route to the East. That would make anyone rich.

> And unlike in Germany where these transfers have been shrinking for decades as the East of the country grows its economy, in Britain we become ever more reliant on the Greater South East and London in particular every year.

Uhh... Outside of Leipzig (and obviously Berlin), things aren't going very well in the East of Germany. And even in Leipzig things were super shitty until property fever hit in 2017. Everybody with prospects still moves West in Germany, and the East remains relatively poor as a result (and unheard, which is why the AFD has gained a foothold here).

Know what makes countries rich (besides conquest)? Long rivers big enough to pass container ships through without locks - connecting your resources and industrial bases to your markets with super cheap transport costs. The Mississippi. The Yangtze. The Rhine.

Better infrastructure is always a good thing, but I don't see it as a limiting factor. A battery plant is an example of where you need decent infrastructure, that's all. Software is eating the world, that's the industry I'm thinking of.
> rich people either a. spend a lower percentage of their income (in which case, what's the point in having money)

The point in having money is indeed NOT to spend it. It is to build a hoard so large you can live comfortably off the dividends and investment returns, or even to save most of that again and grow your hoard even faster, creating "fuck you" levels of money and intergenerational wealth.

When people say "tax the rich" they don't mean "deprive the neurosurgeon or City banker off his biannual new Mercedes". (These people DO indeed spend a smaller share of their income than poorer folks but that's not the point) When people say "tax the rich" they mean "tax capital returns" so that the country can benefit from the wealth currently amassed and extracted by the hyper wealthy that couldn't spend all their annual portfolio gains if they bought ought all of Paris Fashion Week every year.

I always have to think of this one episode of A Touch of Frost I believe where a murdering gunman was on the loose in the UK. And it triggered this big mobilisation where suddenly all the cops had to be equipped with pistols. Because the typical cop would just have a billystick to go on patrol with.

At some point in time this stopped being normal. AFAIK nowadays every cop in Europe has a pistol on themselves. Surely that's not actually necessary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anti-competitive behaviour doesn't need to mean other companies can't compete. It just means it makes it harder to compete, which this does. Having access to this data improves Google Meet, and evidently gives enough advantage to justify adding it to the browser. Other products don't have access to these APIs, so can't improve their products in the same way. Google has used their browser monopoly to give their other products an unfair advantage. That is anti-competitive behaviour, and is illegal.

> I love Linux, but it would not exist without corporate sponsors.

Of course it would, for it already did. It might not be as polished, and there would be more issues with hardware, but it would certainly still exist, and even thrive. Because enough people want it and can put in the manpower to create it.

> but there's really no possibility a social media platform (or the internet at-large) could adopt a similar strategy.

By decentralizing it could.

> Hosting is expensive

Decentralizing would work around that.

> Blind authoritarianism is ironically one of it's strongest defenses.

The strongest defense is GPL, because if a company tried to do that then the same thing that happened with nginx would happen.

> The decentralized internet, the blockchain, the darkweb and I2P all need someone to pay for hosting costs.

With a properly designed protocol these costs would be neglibile.
>Rush hour had a train there every ~2 minutes and they were still packed.

Sometimes I wonder if society will figure out a way to stagger business hours and holidays... somehow... to decongest rush hour. Something like X areacode business hours have to +/- 1 hour every other month.

I get that's what you and a lot of people want it to be, but it isn't what they are. They are quite literally probabilistic text generation engines. Let's emphasise that: the output is produced randomly by sampling from distributions, or in simple terms, like rolling a dice. In a concrete sense it is non-deterministic. Even if an exact answer is in the corpus, its output is not going to be that answer, but the most probable answer from all the text in the corpus. If that one answer that exactly matches contradicts the weight of other less exact answers you won't see it.

And you probably wouldn't want to - if I ask if donuts are radioactive and one person explicitly said that on the internet you probably aren't going to tell me you want it to spit out that answer just because it exactly matches what you asked. You want it to learn from the overwhelimg corpus of related knowledge that says donuts are food, people routinely eat them, etc etc and tell you they aren't radioactive.
I mean, even the initramfs can be stored in the ESP, can't it? How's that work with Secure Boot? (assuming you don't just use a shim that makes the TPM happy and then proceeds to not actually verify anything afterwards.)
The UK was a naval empire that got to the industrial revolution earlier than most.

The high cost of labor and the abundance of coal deposits created an incentive for automation and that led to unprecedented technological innovation.

This brought an era of prosperity and also created a power asymmetry. But that power asymmetry did not make it into the 21st century.

The Suez canal crisis was officially the end of the UK as a world superpower.

The UK has strong partnerships, is a member of many important institutions like the G7, UN security council, NATO and others, but is not a world superpower anymore.

Economically it is in decline and politically is in crisis.
Semi-related: "Minidisc" is an album by Gescom (who are really Autechre in disguise) released, as the name suggests, only on Minidisc, containing 88 tracks which are designed to be played on shuffle, because Minidisc, unlike CD or any other physical format, can be shuffled with no audible gap between tracks.

Each track is designed to segue into any other so the album is different every time you play it.
Yeah, I was confused. This is basically just, "have well defined interfaces, and pass simple data through them", but with no concrete examples.

Navigating creative destruction and diminishing returns in AI infrastructure
You should look up the way that Japan filters streams for Iron. I cant find anything on it at the moment but essentially they would find/make bends in the river and set up ways to capture it since metal is heavier it would get caught in the bends.
But imagine if these models were baked into your Instagram app and then used for ad targeting using your own compute. Then Facebook gets to look at tons of other data and for less cost (and much less litigation risk) to them.

In this application it’s unfair to compare tiny models to cloud models. Moreover any incremental precision boosts to tiny models would be notable (and directly translate to revenue).

East Asian education culture (i.e. cram schools / high stakes testing) has shown you can always maximize learning at the expense of happiness. And work hours. And it works well to develop STEM talent. People with aptitude are naturally going to excel while those who aren't can still drill acceptable levels of competence, even if they hate it. If your life/future depends on knowing math, a surprising amount of people with no love for math will end up being decent at math.
This is a very bad name for a product.

It's still a form of enumeration.

Once you know the generation scheme, you can always enumerate some form, perfect or otherwise.

Looks like the test-setup confuses knowledge graphs with graph databases. The code just creates a neo4j database from a document, not a knowledge graph (basically uses neo4j as vector database). A knowledge graph would be created by a LLM as a preprocessing step (and queried similary by an LLM). This is a different approach than was tested, an approach that trades preprocessing time and domain knowledge for accuracy. Reference: https://python.langchain.com/v0.1/docs/use_cases/graph/const...

Turn Lead Prospecting into Tinder
Hey everyone,

I'm Ethan, an early-stage founder and YC alum. I built a prospecting tool to make conducting outbound less soul crushing :)

As an early-stage founder, a lot of my day consists of writing cold emails and scrolling through LinkedIn Sales Navigator trying to get in touch with my ICP. I've tried existing solutions like Dripify and Apollo.io to automate these tasks, but for me, I feel like the filters don't work great and I can't easily customize or personalize the messaging for each lead. What I really want is something that can learn the ICP I'm going after and automatically go out and fetch prospects for me to review across LinkedIn and email. I want to wake up and just have 50 leads that I can approve or deny, without the hassle of setting up a bunch of automations or doing it myself.

I built Comet to solve this need! It makes it easy for me to do all my outbound chores from a single interface in a dating app style format (i.e. a profile summary + simple approve/deny button for each lead). Every morning, the platform populates 50-75 leads of my intended ICP for me to review and approve the messaging. Even though it's a bit buggy currently, I find that, when it works, I can blow through my daily outbound quota and save ~1 hr a day, and honestly the process is much more enjoyable. I'm using RLHF to finetune the leads that are populated and automating connection requests + sending emails on the backend.

Would love for you all to try it out and give feedback + ideas of what could be added on top of this!
I would be embarrassed to publish this. It is a stunning display of ego and ignorance of how this part of the world works that boils down to the author being too cheap to put in the work and too lazy to understand why regulations exist.
Low and Slow Attack
Let's be honest: It will be legal if you're a $3 trillion company, and not if you're not.
It’s been obvious for a very long time that London is a self-perpetuating black hole for money and talent in the UK, and it’s going to be tough to break that up.

What’s missing is the social analysis here - ambitious people in the UK go to London where they can make more money, and ambitious companies that want ambitious people go to London because that’s where the staff are. London and the SE don’t just fund the rest of the country, they also drain the talent and workers from those areas.

London does not have that great economy in isolation from its regions, it has it at least in part by feeding on them.

Growing the northern economy (and really anywhere outside the London dormitory belt) is also going to require finding a way to break the low-pay, low-productivity, low-expectations trap that exists across most of the British economy. And doing that will to some extent limit London’s talent pool.

It’s not a zero sum game, but also - TAANSTAFL.
So what? My point is that the two processes were interlinked and fed off each other. The industrial revolution was helped by empire. But the fact that it took place in the UK helped it expand and deepen that very empire faster than the competition. The Maxim Gun, at the bleeding edge of technology in 1884, was made in London and helped Britain subjugate African countries and nudge out other imperial powers.
