Ok, it’s cheaper, but I’ll be honest, it sounds like a hassle, something I won’t sustain for very long. I already struggle with fresh fruits and vegetables, they barely last a week in the fridge, unless I switch to only apples…

I like to be prepared, but I really don’t like the idea of giving up stuff just in case. I’d like to keep enjoying the moment at least, this sounds too much like extinguishing all fun in life to me. (Yeah, food is important to me)

I think having a large pile of 25 years food in a corner is probably more my style, I can build it slowly.
Not only. Look at the subject of this thread, GPT-4o mini.

I'm optimistic about synthetic data giving us another big unlock, anyway. The text on the internet is not that reasoning dense. And they have a snapshot of pre-2023 that is fixed and guaranteed not to decay. I don't think one extra year of good quality internet is what will make or break AGI efforts.

The harder bottleneck will be energy. It's relatively doable to go from 1GW to 10GW but the next jump to 100GW becomes insanely difficult.

Sometime ago I brought Affinity publisher (I have no affiliation with them, I got it because it did not require a subscription). It is a desktop publishing application, so the intended use case is that you make the text separately and then you setup a layout and include the text.

And honestly, I think that is the better way to go. You don't have to chase down weird commands (how do you set LaTeX to use Lato as the main font again?) and you get instant feedback on how things look.

I haven't found a way to mark text up as "this is a blockquote" and then have that mapped to the correct style, and it seems to lack a few of the more esoteric font features LaTeX does support. The fact that you get instant feedback and can tweak the relevant knobs as much as you like? That means you get a much nicer layout.

If you have a Windows machine with the Office package, you get Microsoft Publisher, which I believe can import Word documents and extract the style from that.

Scribus can map styles from imported files, but last time I checked I couldn't get it to auto update the view when you changed the font.
Could you elaborate what it is about presumptive justice in Wales and England that is flawed? I couldn't find any obvious links by searching relevant keywords.
This is what really would concern me too. With this wide spread issue any reasonable testing should have detected it. Having a few dozen machines with different configurations for an few hours should have detected this. This should have been in a smoke test.

Push update to machines, observe, power cycle them, observe...

I could understand error in some rarer setup, but this was so common that it should have been obvious error.
I believe the 10x developer thing is stupid, and based on perspective. Watching someone work faster than you doesn't mean they are doing better work, and on the other hand could mean perhaps you are maybe a 1/10th developer.

That said, if a 10x developer does exist, Marcan is one of the few of them. What a ridiculous statement.

I will say that I lived in Vancouver. A city where I have never seen fewer than 10 people on a bus, where driving is frequently slower than transit, where you are rarely more than a 10 minute walk from a bus, where during rush hour, they convert parking lanes to bus lanes. It does take time to change, but it will take longer if we wait.

All of this works fine in places where they have been enacting all the things that you are saying don’t work. Most people just can’t imagine it working until they see it.
It makes sense to tap into the existing ecosystem of AWS S3-compatible clients.
Cars now have sensors all over and automatic braking to prevent collisions. The article acknowledges the benefits of front facing sensors in luxury vehicles from the time it was written, which are very common today even in basic vehicles. So are the 360 cameras it mentions.

Also - this article is focused on data from 2016 to 2020 for front collisions. It mentions 744 deaths of children in front collisions on non public roads (where the blind spots it talks about matter more) in that 5 year period, which is frankly a small number. This is a country with a few hundred million people after all. Some number of deaths are inevitable and it isn’t a crisis.

Other states may be different, but at least in California there’s a pretty straightforward path to incorporation if a community desires it. The large number of unincorporated areas are because the residents don’t think the tradeoffs are worth it.

Counties are also generally all too happy to delegate decision making to communities which will take it on even if they don’t incorporate.
I have, and the basic username / bcrypted / scrypted password / JWT implementation was quite easy. What I found difficult* was all the accessory quality of life functionalities, e.g. password reset via mail, automated backups, 2 factor authentication, social login etc. You might not want all of them, but email verification / reset is kinda the expected baseline and it means you have to use an external mail-sending system anyway.

*difficult not as in "hard to implement", more as in "lots of moving parts, hard to maintain"

"Dolar blue exchange rates are sky rocketing and is more then 4x higher then before Milei.."

That is just false. When Milei took over, the dollar blue was at 1188 pesos, and it's now at 1445 pesos. That's an increase of 21.6% after 7 months, not 300%/4x. By the way in the 7 months previous to Milei, the increase was 160%.

And about poverty, it was already at 50% when Milei took over. But obviously if you're left-leaning you might want to avoid mentioning it...

1. Is data theft the main risk of ransomware?

2. Why would anyone trust a ransomware perpetrator to honor a deal to not reveal or exploit data upon receipt of a single ransom payment? Are organizations really going to let themselves be blackmailed for an indefinite period of time?

> Environmentally, the optimal road is the road with no cars on it.

But then why is there even a road there? How to reduce the amount of travel required and how to most efficiently get from A to B are two different issues. Doing the former is good, but it requires things like new higher density housing construction, which takes a long time and is not going to cause most of the existing homes in the suburbs to cease to exist under any plausible expectation.

One of the reasons for this is that high density doesn't require much land; if you build 20 units to a lot then you could double the existing suburban housing stock as high density units, but you'd have only bulldozed 5% of them to do it, so the other 95% would still exist. This would reduce housing costs but you'd still have someone living in most of those existing homes, which are in places it's not viable to walk or use mass transit.

And then you might want to ask a question like "how do we make transportation more efficient in the short term, i.e. on a 5-10 year timescale"? To which the answer is things like "make new cars electric" and "optimize high-traffic roads to maximize the efficiency of existing vehicles".
Apple documentation argues the opposite:

"Developers can use frameworks such as DriverKit and NetworkExtension to write USB and human interface drivers, endpoint security tools (like data loss prevention or other endpoint agents), and VPN and network tools, all without needing to write kexts. Third-party security agents should be used only if they take advantage of these APIs or have a robust road map to transition to them and away from kernel extensions."

Specifically the 2nd sentence above says security software should use the APIs, not Apple's kernel extensions.
Sapiogenesis is pretty easy. I heard some people have to make an effort to avoid it.
That's the autoregressive aspect. The decoder aspect is that the last layer converts representations into output sequences (and the generation happens autoregressively, one at a time). Similarly at the last layer an encoder outputs a representation/embedding (while being able to attend to the entire sequence).
That does the trick, thank you!
Bangladesh is definitely not the Middle East. I just figured the kind of person who thinks of authoritarianism as fascism is more likely to be familiar with authoritarian governments in the Middle East because they're covered in Western mainstream news outlets and aren't treated as fascist regimes.

Depressing thought that this phenomena is some kind of Nash equilibrium. That in the space of competition between firms, the equilibrium is for companies to outsource IT labor, saving on IT costs and passing that cost savings onto whatever service they are providing. -> Firms that outsource, out-compete their competition + expose their services to black swan catastrophic risk.

> new models will start getting trained with mostly the output of other LLMs

That is a naive, flawed way to do it. You need to filter and verify synthetic examples. How? First you empower the LLM, then you judge it. Human in the loop (LLM chat rooms), more tokens (CoT), tool usage (code, search, RAG), other models acting as judges and filters.

This problem is similar to scientific publication. Many papers get published, but they need to pass peer review, and lots of them get rejected. Just because someone wrote it into a paper doesn't automatically make it right. Sometimes we have to wait a year to see if adoption supports the initial claims. For medical applications testing is even harder. For startups it's a blood bath in the first few years.

There are many ways to select the good from the bad. In the case of AI text, validation can be done against the real world, but it's a slow process. It's so much easier to scrape decades worth of already written content than to iterate slowly to validate everything. AlphaZero played millions of self games to find a strategy better than human.

In the end the whole ideation-validation process is a search for trustworthy ideas. In search you interact with the search space and make your way towards the goal. Search validates ideas eventually. AI can search too, as evidenced by many Alpha model (AlphaTensor, AlphaFold, AlphaGeometry...). There was a recent paper about prover-verifier systems trained adversarially like GANs, that might be one possible approach. https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.13692v1
Sure, I've certainly seen exceptions, and valued them a lot.

512 has been sufficient to solve my problems. I had done some initial attempts with BigBird that weren’t going well, but then realized I didn’t really need it.

You are responding to my footnote, but ok.

Yes. This is what most—all?—other democracies do. More realistically though, municipality level governments include surrounding rural areas. In areas with small towns and large areas of rural farmlands, the farmers and town residents have equal representation, but the farmers obviously have a bigger political influence (hopefully the municipality governments have enough representatives though that the townfolks have at least a couple of representatives).

In reality unincorporated America also includes heavily urbanized areas (more often than not poorer than the surrounding areas). Here in Seattle this includes Skyway and White Center. But even if aside from those it is pretty unacceptable that all local planning for the community of e.g. Fairwood, or even Hobart don’t have any say in their municipality level organization, instead relying on the same county council as Seattle for their local affairs (a council with only 9 representatives for a total of 2.2 million constituents).
Probably something American, considering the lack of specificity
Absolutely wrong. India, China and the more polluting poorer countries are the ones who'll always suffer more.

With >300 AQIs in most highly-populated areas, dirty water from rivers almost all of which are hazardously polluted, combined with a tropical climate that's already hot enough to kill thousands of people from heatstroke alone in summers - pollution-related misery in US and Europe isn't anywhere close enough to that in India. It just doesn't get called out because Indians have bigger existential concerns (many of which go directly against climate-friendliness).

The denominator of that fraction is meant to be interpreted as what we would write today as 3.2, not 3x2, and indeed fourth root 100 = about 3.16. The interpunct (the mid-line dot you're interpreting as multiplication) was historically a common way of marking what we now mark with a . character.

As others have pointed out, rolling your own simple username-password auth isn't too hard. As you go forward, you might need to add other things like 2FA or social login or SAML, and those things aren't exactly hard either (there's TOTP validation libraries in most languages I think, and for SAML you can use Jackson [1] which translates it to OIDC for you). It is quite boring though.

There's an Austria paper that looked into the accident cause "speeding" (nicht angepasste Geschwindigkeit) means across the german-speaking countries. The results boiled down to "it depends" on the officer typing in the data as there aren't any reviews or such. There's good data on other accident aspects like the seat-belt-usage you mentioned (and it's shocking how many people die because they are too lazy to use their seat-belt) but those aren't down to subjective judgement on the spot.

Good data is needed as a few accident causes do tend to be common in certain road/location conditions and those can be fixed. For example while the total number of accidents on train crossing is low (15~20 fatalities per year) in Austria, all of them are the driver's fault and almost all (except for massive idiot drivers) can be fixed by installing automatic gates on all crossings.
Yeah, I checked one near me and it said EMS arrived 1 minute after being notified and victim was transported via EMS air. Time to arrive at hospital seems reasonable for an air transport from that spot though. So I guess the helicopter just happened to be idly hovering over the van at the time it went off the embankment?
The fact that economic activity year over year has increased at all (after 7 months with Milei) is just astonishing.

It is astonishing because Milei inherited a deficit of 15% of GDP, so he cut 30% of government spending on the first month to get to fiscal surplus that month. He inherited a broke central bank (-11.8B in reserves) and he's recovered back to -4B (still some way to go). He inherited 50B of debt with exporters (they have "cepo cambiario"/exchange control policies). So even after having to cut down so much, now the economy is starting to recover.

BTW the reason Argentina just can't stand ANY deficit at all is because it creates inflation. It creates inflation because NO ONE loans them money, so the only way to have deficit is to "print money" from thin air.

It isn't clear to me why we should weigh fundamentals less in relation to polling on the basis that it has a higher variation at this point of time in the cycle.

I'm not really seeing what's so clickbait about the title? They discovered something very surprising in the area. The area has an incredible amount of sulfates but I don't think anyone actually expected to find elemental sulfur in a natural environment, i.e. native sulfur formations.

If anything the article actually understates how wild it is to not only find this but that many of the surrounding rocks also show the same.

This region is believed to have been formed predominantly by erosion from flows of water or landslides. Native sulfur really only comes from 3 things:

1. Geothermal environments (ex: volcanos)

2. Hydrothermal environments (ex: hotsprings, geysers, etc).

3. Reduction of sulfates into sulfides by bacteria under specific conditions that result in the production of elemental sulfur as a byproduct.

Given that none of these 3 were expected from this area, that leaves a pretty substantial question of how it got there, how it was produced, and if it wasn't produced locally, where it came from.

So again I'm not really sure if it was clickbait by any means.

> And all things considered, Windows is not that bad option

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it actually is. It's a closed source OS which includes way more functionality than you need. A purpose-built RTOS running on a microcontroller is going to provide more reliability, and if you don't hook it up to the internet it will be more secure, too. Of course, if you want you can still hook it up to the internet, but at least you're making the conscious decision to do so at that point.

Displaying something on a screen isn't very hard in an embedded environment either.

I have an open source printer which has a display, and runs on an STM32. It runs reliably, does its job well, and doesn't whine about updates or install things behind my back because it physically can't, it has no access to the internet (though I could connect it if I desired). A CNC machine is more complex and has more safety considerations, but is still in a similar class of product.

Yup.

- They don't do exponential-canary deployments with an ability to rollback, and instead just YOLO it.

This is fundamentally laziness and/or incompetency.
