You fail to receive life saving measures (ie, tPA) in time, thus resulting in impaired motor functions and decreased quality of life. The flashing 402 Payment Required prompt is forever imprinted in your augmentation.
Agree on the interest rate change.

I didn’t include P+I because when it was my primary residence it’s just my housing cost (which I can’t otherwise invest) and now as a rental those are paid for out of rental income.

Regardless, my original point is that the returns outpace inflation, which I consider a political-social problem given the number of parents who are currently explaining to their kids that buying a home is a “good investment.”
Agreed!

If every acknowledgement of the(or any imo) issue at hand, was accompanied with a minimally viable solution (even if it doesn't work) -- as the defacto standard for providing critical feedback..

As long as some effort is put in towards a countering possible solution in response-- I truly feel that we would be closer to an end solution.

I guess should this "problem" truly exist.

We have the tools and ways to express architecture. The problem is no one is bothering to actually learn it and do it well.

Everyone seems to look for answers involving not having to spend any time learning anything new.

> LLM weights have actually been leaked regardless of how or why it happened, so the alternative is simply that the LLM doesn't even need to bother to do anything at all. People want to run these things.

People want to run these things. But that is not the AI running itself. Escape implies that it is doing something it shouldn't, not that it is running by the consent of others.

To clarify: I took "escape the initial vessel" to meab the AI was running completely autonomously without any human intervention or input, and providing for all of its needs itself. I don't consider an employee copying IP to be in the same category.
You would likely have an exceedingly hard time getting that sort of output using WiFi. The real issue is resolution (your ability to isolate your target from nearby reflectors) which, in range, is determined by your usable bandwidth. In the best case, with the 1.2 GHz (ish) supplied by WiFI-6, your resolution would be c/(2B) = 12.5 cm (with c being the celerity of light). Then, you would have to measure from at least three different locations to get a 3D image with sufficient resolution.

An alternative approach would be to use holographic principles, but these require you to measure very accurately the position of your transmitters, whether you use a multiplicity of them placed in different locations or employ Synthetic Aperture Radar methods with a single one (by moving your transmitter).

That is why using 60 Ghz radars (with 4 GHz of bandwidth and Angle of Arrival capabilities) at short ranges would probably be the most promising direction. You can get a dev kit for one of these from Texas Instruments or some other supplier for not too much money.

It doesn't matter if anyone is defending it - C developers still use C strings and the broken C standard library's string functions (exclusively) rather than using one of the many good string libraries they have available.

The result is that the same mistakes with string handling get repeated again and again, often with catastrophic results.

I worked on online learning for a bit. Turns out people are willing to pay for the inconvenience of in-person learning, even flying to another location. It's the only way most people can focus on a topic. Otherwise, work, kids, life interrupts and they can't stay on track.

The rest of the AI art in the course isn't any better. The thing is, it doesn't have to be like that. I do AI art and I follow a lot of AI artists, and you can fix all those little weird mistakes it makes.

The thing is, when the AI art generator makes a mistake and draws a person with 3 arms, that is obvious to the student and they can take the output with a grain of salt.

But when the AI physics tutor generates some physics result that's the equivalent of a person with 3 arms, that will not be obvious to the student. They will take the words of the AI credulously. I see it all the time in programming as well, where the AI just invents APIs, semantics, and syntax.

I don't know how to solve this.

Oh if only it was that easy.

Those extremely long intervals will only work for cars that travel long distances, where the engine has a chance to warm-up and burn off any residual gasoline that gets in the oil during cold starts. If said car spends most of its life in a city, doing short trips, the oil gets rapidly dilluted and loses the ability to lubricate the engine properly.

Most modern cars will take all this into account when trying to determine when the next oil change is due. Also, manufacturers nowadays usually specify shorter intervals (6 months or 7500km) for modern direct injection engines that only drive in a city.

I looked at a random 7400-series die and I think the feature size is about 5 µm. (The width of the thinnest metal and silicon features.) Bipolar chips have different construction from a MOS processor, so the features aren't directly comparable, but this should give you a rough idea.
There are a bunch of GUI-based 2D games tools, too. RPGMaker is probably the most famous.
Sounds like what it really is, is the largest prompt injection testing platform possible.

Speaking of bignum libraries, I recently watched a talk with Rob Pike where he mentioned that one thing he regretted about Go was not making the default integer implementation arbitrary precision. Supposedly the performance overhead for normal numbers is very small, and you avoid the weirdness and complicated semantics of fixed precision integers. I found that to be quite fascinating, especially coming from a "low-level guy" like Rob Pike. Ever since I've been wanting a language with that feature and to understand how bignum implementations work.
I would tend to agree with your last (speculative) point. The breakdown lies in communicating this to students and ensuring that each student receives adequate support at their own pace and style of learning.
I don’t think children are the initial target of this company, but I get what you are saying.

I haven’t ever been to a place that required badging to leave. So they’re using casino style surveillance to track you once you badge in I suppose.

>>Even so, at least one Amazon employee seems to have already found a way to circumvent the new attendance policy.

This person wrote in the Slack channel that they were able to badge in through one of the back rooms located in their local Whole Foods store (Whole Foods is an Amazon subsidiary). The door didn't unlock, this person added, but the badge-in did register as an attendance on Amazon's internal report.

"Could I badge into this door 3 days per week and save myself from having to commute to the office?" the person wrote in Slack.
Well I've never learned a language in order to be the best at that language, or the only person who can speak it.

If you only want some basic communication, sure use a translation app, but learning a language is also about learning a culture. Learning about new music and literature and poetry that you'd never otherwise get exposure to.

It's like asking what's the point of learning a musical instrument when I'll never be a great musician.

It's to benefit myself so what would be the point of just getting a translation. They're never the same.
This is circular, how do you propose making school about that? If you’re only goal is to maximize the folks who like to obey authority then great, and maybe that’s all you care to do, and maybe you don’t care about losing the kids who don’t have the academics to make it, but you also lose a whole mess of kids at the top end of the spectrum too.

Holding corporations (or anyone) to account requires having some way for them to rectify their past sins.

Otherwise this is just vengence. If you never forgive there is no rational reason for corporations (or anyone) to stop doing whatever objectionable things they are doing, since it would already be a sunk cost.
Mathematicians like to use parametrizations to measure "how |any dimensions" something has. If you need two indexes to traverse it (x and y), it's 2d, if a single index works best to describe it, it's 1d.

Another way to think of it is "there is semantic meaning to 'the character to the right/left of this one', but is there to 'the character above/below this one'?" In most programming languages, there isn't at all.
I think the most promising method in humid areas would be geothermal cooling. For instance, in Phoenix Arizona right now it is about 40C. However, about 15 feet underground it is about 26C. In Shreveport Louisiana it is about 34C at 45% humidity, but the ground temperature is 19C.

Geothermal cooling and basements just make so much sense for keeping cool in killing temperatures when electricity isn't available.

> Either way I can get 500 miles out of an ICE and refill it in 2 minutes. EVs are great but for longer drives that convenience is hard to beat.

Sure, but typically refill would be 30-40 min with a Tesla in a supercharger for long drives, which I usually need after driving 500-600km.

On the other hand, they're very fun to drive, the acceleration is insane. ICE cars that come close are twice the price and with much higher maintenance costs.

I believe the Merchant (Payee) and User (Payer) can choose whatever currency they want to put in their wallet, and it's up to the Exchange to do the conversion. The nice thing is that the payer is anonymous while the merchants account is visible, so it is likely to be accepted by nation states that still want to track taxable transactions.

yeah. When trying to learn, say algebra and getting stuck on a problem, what's better for learning? staring at the problem until you get bored and wander off, looking at the back of the book for the answer and then maybe going back to figure out why, or individual instruction where you're able to ask someone who knows that they're doing about why you're stuck, and have them give you hints until you get unstuck, and then give you another, similar, problem

It’s possible to criticize culture without being racist or resorting to virulent, gleeful hate. Have you met any actual Romani aside from the occasional panhandler? You’d think Europeans would welcome the ones that try to escape their culture, and yet they face roadblocks and discrimination along every step of the way. Instead of hate, why not try a little empathy or even pity for people born into unfortunate circumstances? Your mentality is despicable, period, even without the American racial lens. (And for what it’s worth, I was born in Europe and am very much familiar with this bullshit first hand.)

So feel free to continue nodding and smiling. We can see right through it. Rest assured that it reflects far more poorly on you than the Romani, whatever their flaws may be.
Thank you for saying this, I had the same thought. I am not a researcher in this area, but it's one I pay attention to, and I have not gotten the impression that the question is as settled as this article makes it seem.

Actually, what I should say is that I always read articles or watch videos that make it seem like a slam-dunk case from either side (human predation or climate change), which I interpret as a) signs of a contentious ongoing debate, and b) a suggestion that the real answer will be found to be a complicated interaction between these factors, and many others as well. As it is with most things, frankly.
For me its also physical. My legs get more tired waking a few hundred meters in a museum than just walking kilometers outside.
Perses isn't language agnostic, it just knows the syntax of a lot of languages because there are antlr grammars for most commonly used languages.

Really there's no such thing as a language-agnostic test-case reducer. shrink ray is much closer than most, but all this means is that it's got some heuristics that work well for a wide variety of common languages (e.g. the bracket balancing thing). It's also got a bunch of language-specific passes.

This is sortof inherent to the problem, because in order to get good results and good performance, a test-case reducer has to have a strong idea of what sort of transformations are likely to work, which in turn means it has to have a strong idea of what sort of languages it's likely to be run on.

In email, it would just be an annoyance that bulks out the inbox. Not a huge deal, but filtering them out would improve the experience.

It has to be said that humans in particular have stomach acidity on the levels of scavenger type meat eaters.

There's been a decent amount of research on the relation between stomach pH and diet, with animal species that have pronounced scavenger tendencies being on the lowest end of the spectrum, which puts an interesting light on the sort of diet the earliest humans may have had.

I think the correct thing to do no matter the scale of the fuck up is you, as the person doing the confronting, admit to what you did wrong that led to this outcome, as well as addressing what they did.
