Given any compact metric space $(M, d)$ (which in the article is the closed unit square), the set of non-empty compact subsets of $M$ under the Hausdorff metric $h$ is also a compact metric space.
"IUPAC defines an element to exist if its lifetime is longer than 10^−14 second, which is the time it takes for the atom to form an electron cloud.[7]"

If the nucleus disintegrates before electrons can cluster around it, you're not really in the realm of chemistry any more. Chemistry is all about those electrons.

Every attempt I’ve made to interact with Lexis Nexis has been a nightmare.

Honestly though, what does a publisher of laws do these days? Couldn’t the government just say “actually we’re gonna take over publishing”, throw the PDF in S3 and call it a day?
Also working with GRAG (via Neo4j) and I'm somewhat skeptical that for most cases where a natural hierarchical structure already exists that graph will significantly exceed RAG with the hierarchical structure.

A better solution I had thought about its "local RAG". I came across this while processing embeddings from chunks parsed from Azure Document Intelligence JSON. The realization is that relevant topics are often localized within a document. Even across a corpus of documents, relevant passages are localized.

Because the chunks are processed sequentially, one needs only to keep track o the sequence number of the chunk. Assume that the embedding matches with a chunk n, then it would follow that the most important context are the chunks localized at n - m and n + p. So find the top x chunks via hybrid embedding + full text match and expand outwards from each of the chunks to grab the chunks around it.

While a chunk may represent just a few sentences of a larger block of text, this strategy will grab possibly the whole section or page of text localized around the chunk with the highest match.
Define "periodic table".

The operating definition has been "a list of all elements that humans have discovered and/or made". By that definition, it is not currently infinite, nor will it ever be.

If instead you define it to mean "all elements that might theoretically exist under all theories of physics that are not currently definitively ruled out", then it may be it infinite. But that's not the normal definition.
Probably fair that he led the move to enterprise.

I can answer questions off the cuff based on the weights of the neural network in my head. If I really wanted to get the right answers I would do "RAG" in the sense of looking up answers on the web or at the library and summarizing them.

For instance I have a policy that I try hard not to say anything like "most people think that..." without providing links because I work at an archive of public opinion data and if it gets out that one of our people was spouting false information about our domain, even if we weren't advertising the affiliation, that would look bad.
There’s only one sentence that matters:

"Provide customers with greater control over the delivery of Rapid Response Content updates by allowing granular selection of when and where these updates are deployed."

This is where they admit that:

1. They deployed changes to their software directly to customer production machines;
2. They didn’t allow their clients any opportunity to test those changes before they took effect; and
3. This was cosmically stupid and they’re going to stop doing that.

Software that does 1. and 2. has absolutely no place in critical infrastructure like hospitals and emergency services. I predict we’ll see other vendors removing similar bonehead “features” very very quietly over the next few months.
Yeah. There is alot of over hyped and over funded nonsense that comes out of NASA. Some of it is hype from the marketing and press teams, other hype comes from misinterpretation of releases.

None of that changes that there have been major technical breakthroughs, and entire classes of products and services that didn't exist before those investments in NASA (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_spin-off_technologies for a short list). There are 15 departments and dozens of Agencies that comprise the US Federal government, many of whom make investments in science and technology as part of their mandates, and most of that is delivered through some structure of public-private partnerships.

What you see as over-hyped and over-funded nonsense could be the next ground breaking technology, and that is why we need both elected leaders who (at least in theory) represent the will of the people, and appointed, skilled bureaucrats who provide the elected leaders with the skills, domain expertise, and experience that the winners of the popularity contest probably don't have.

Yep, there will be waste, but at least with public funds there is the appearance of accountability that just doesn't exist with private sector funds.
None of those things are necessary most of the time, and they’re usually just going to make you paranoid. It’s why doctors don’t generally like to do full-body scans on healthy people: they’re rarely going to find anything clinically significant, but they’re often going to find something that causes a scare and some unnecessary tests. (And if the scan is a CT scan, on average, the radiation may cause more cancers than it catches if you’re scanning healthy people for no reason.)

If you want to have the best shot at preventing disease and living a long, healthy life, it’s not complicated: eat a healthy diet, exercise, get a good night’s sleep, avoid drugs and alcohol, and have fulfilling relationships with other people. Beyond that, you’re spending a lot of money on things that are going to have a negligible or even negative impact on your health and quality of life.
There are all sorts of things that are cheap and easy, but society considers so dangerous that they are restricted by law. That doesn't stop all ne'er-do-wells, of course, but it stops most.

Why would you care who spawned the thread? If your code is thread-safe, it shouldn't make a difference.

One potential problem with regular IPC I see is that it's nondeterministic in terms of performance/throughput because you can't be sure when the scheduler will decide to run the other side of whatever IPC mechanism you're using. With these "doors", you bypass scheduling altogether, you call straight "into" the server process thread. This may make a big difference for systems under load.

Does that not recreate the privacy problem then, since the CRL server can see which CRL partition we download and when?

Should we expect CRL stapling?
I think most of them are new to this type of nature so you're stuck in "is this normal? Am I in danger? If I run, will I look like a fool?" So you're standing there and looking for other people's reactions before making your own. So it's a bunch of people frozen and looking at each other before 1 person makes a run for it and everyone else does too.
That sounds more like a legacy problem than a problem with the async/await model in the abstract.

If you were designing a language from the ground up, why would you implement a synchronous read operation? I would just assume that all code written in the language will treat async the way that Haskell programmers treat IO and make all IO operations async no matter what.
I don’t see how. Only suspending functions can call other suspending functions. You still end up having to mark your call stack all the way up.
There's no easy way to get close to 10TB when using components that are sized by powers of two

5 x 2TB? 16Tbit (2TB) NAND flash is available these days.

This old Intel SSD is 10 x 16GB: https://www.storagereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/int...

SSDs aren't sized in powers of 2 anymore. Even the flash itself isn't due to things like spare area (and TLC flash is internally actually a multiple of 3 times a power of 2 size.)
I’ve thought about melodies in music too. Obviously, the number of melodies possible is extremely vast. But in 4:4 timing, there must be a limit?

Would you personally be OK with magic link auth or email+pw only?
My take is to explicitly mark a difference between human generated content and AI generated content. Not to label one superior to the other. It’s just to let people choose what they prefer. Like in chat bots for some companies they let you know you don’t talk to a human.
Would you blindly accept a medical prescription generated by an AI ? Some people might even prefer the prescription made by the AI. All I’m saying is to inform people. After they make their choice.
I don't really have a horse in this race, but it seems to me that making something illegal doesn't always work as expected and stop people from consuming it. See: prohibition in the US.

So, if the actual goal is harm-reduction for the population at large (and not for what seems to be a small sample who wouldn't care either way since they're not into that), maybe instead of outlawing substances, we should make sure that people don't take random crap that will mess them up even worse than what they were originally looking for. Because it seems that people will continue taking drugs.

So maybe, as a society, we should finally accept reality instead of insisting that wishful thinking will somehow work after it has failed miserably for ages.

>> We all know there's not much money left.

> Not sure what that means.

What it means is:

1. The UK national debt is high, about 7% of public spending is on interest payments. The debt-to-GDP ratio is the worst it's been in 60 years.

2. The current overall tax rate is the highest it's been since the 1960s. We might be able to get some extra money by going after tax cheats and suchlike, but it's probably not going to be easy; we don't have the money yet.

3. Previously we've tried cutting back on public services to get the debt down - "austerity" as it was called - and it was not regarded as a big success.

4. In fact, there have been loads of strikes and a long period of under-investment in public services. So we could probably spend quite a chunk of money just stopping the roofs falling down on the schools we've already got, to say nothing of building anything new.

5. Previous attempts to move public debt off the books, like PFI contracts, turned out to cost the taxpayer more in the long term.

6. Truss attempted to spur GDP growth to improve the debt-to-GDP ratio, and it went terribly.

7. Individuals aren't any better, with the high levels of mortgage debt and student loan debt, rising fuel bills and a cost-of-living crisis.

We're a hardy nation, we've dealt with worse and we'll get through this - but the reality is Starmer doesn't have a lot of cash to splash around.
I understand the claim but I don't agree with it. I specifically don't believe the differences disappear if you correct for socioeconomic factors, however you would seriously accomplish that.

Money isn't the only stress factor, it is that a child suddenly can become the primary relation to their parent and they might even be alone with that in case of only child. Of course additional family and siblings and a bunch of other environmental factors would have an effect too.

I do think it has an influence, but it cannot be reduced to that. To state the opposite is probably just bad science like in so many cases. It is the hypothyroidism explanation of social sciences.

But that was your claim:

> this disadvantage disappears once you normalize for the socioeconomic conditions

And the tirade about families changing hints as the usual ideological slant. But for nobody under 50 divorces are anything new.
Late to the discussion but as a former Googler I'm embarrassed for the company they didn't figure out a way to keep these working forever. They really just don't give a damn over there any more, do they?

My dumb architecture suggestion for long term resilience: replace it all with absolutely static HTML files with a redirect in them in meta tags and Javascript (and HTML). Ugly but can be served forever on anything that can serve a web page.
I run a journal where we publish both “real” null results and experiments were something practical went wrong, so i have a few thoughts:

1. Ideally peer review would catch this. A badly setup study should be critiqued in peer review. Forcing scientists to first publish their methods before doing the experiment also helps, as it validates the experimental setup before hand.

I also think it’s worth publishing studies where a null result was reached due to some error in experimental setup or other factors, as long as it’s presented as such and reflected upon. This can still be valuable information for future experiments. Offering scientists social capital for that (an “official” publication, citations) might also incentivize scientists to publish the results as is, rather than making it appear as a “true” null result, or even as a non-null one (eg through p hacking).

2. While obviously possible, given the amount of effort scientists have to go through to raise funding for an experiment nowadays, i find it highly unlikely that people would go through this effort.

3. This is already possible and a problem. This is a problem of academic misconduct, has very little to do with null results.

The current publishing system is of course already set up to be gamed, so I understand your worries. But null results should be published, as they are just science. Even if someone were to “game” the system by publishing a ton of null results, those publications should be held to the same level of scrutiny as any other publication. If someone is extremely prolific in replicating existing studies and comes up with a ton of null results, that should be lauded and those papers should be published, no?

I do believe the entire idea of a researchers output only being recognized by being allowed to be published in a journal is terrible and should be abolished, but baby steps I guess.
Having a supply of something that is suddenly supply constrained is pretty much a literal definition of how to make a profit. No need for a ??? step on that one. Of course you will take a storage cost loss for potentially thousands of years first.

> The part that is not debatable is that not only is AI not going away, it’s on the upswing. You can get that tattooed. So it’s important to develop a reasonable comfort around its use.

I mean, this is a bold claim to make in an article about the thing being bad. Like "this reduces productivity, but it will inevitably take over the world anyway, because reasons" is a weird stance.
Perhaps, the landscape has improved a lot in the last couple of years, there are lots of implementation tricks to improve efficiency on consumer hardware, particularly for inference.

Although it is clear that the computing capacity of the GPU would be very underutilized with the SSD as the bottleneck. Even using RAM instead of VRAM is pretty impractical. It might be a bit better for chips like Apple's where the CPU, RAM and GPU are all tightly connected on the same SoC, and the main RAM is used as the VRAM.

Would that performance be still worth more than the electricity cost? Would the earnings be high enough for a wide population to be motivated to go through the hassle of setting up their machine to serve requests?

> What most people want is an orderly, well-functioning society with a government that serves their needs.

Most people also want vigorous good health, satisfying work, plenty of income, and rewarding personal relationships. They'd also be glad to have well-adjusted children who are independent and self-motivated yet always listen to their parents' wise counsel. (And more than a few kids want a pony ....)

Sadly, life doesn't always work that way. It certainly doesn't do so reliably and scalably, or at least we haven't figured out how to make it so.

There's also the challenge of trying to achieve quasi-static local "maxima" (so-called) in an inescapably-turbulent world. It's not clear we've sufficiently explored the costs and burdens of such an effort.

> The United States is closer to a third world country on that front than Western European or Scandinavian countries.

Depends on what you're optimizing for. The international order supported by Pax Americana isn't perfect, but it beats anything the world has seen since Pax Britannia — and again, America and its allies are working on improving it.

Note the difference between what you said: "here's a different way of doing a thing that you're already doing, and don't mind doing, and understand the reasong for doing"

...and the thing that I said: "here's a thing that you don't want to do, and don't see the need for, but don't worry because it wont happen often" (then over time it starts happening often.

The former is not conditioning. The latter is.
It doesn't sound to me like the engines you dealt with use ECS, which are usually resolved with a job system (your work units and functors), but correct me if I'm wrong.

The good job systems I've dealt with have their dependencies in the functors. So you "wait" on a job to finish, which is really a while loop that plucks and executes other jobs while the dependency job hasn't finished. This kind of job system is nice to deal with as they are generally low overhead which means all threads (processes really) are generally saturated with work at all times.

I don't really remember any global state with contention because that's generally very very slow, but maybe there were bits of our gameplay code I'm not aware of.
Architects likely do not have a choice. These things are driven by auditors and requirements for things like insurance or PCI and it’s expensive to protest those. I know people who’ve gone full serverless just to lop off the branches of the audit tree about general purpose server operating systems, and now I’m wondering whether anyone is thinking about iOS/ChromeOS for the same reason.

The more successful path here is probably demanding proof of a decent SDLC, use of memory-safe languages, etc. in contract language.
There are Reasons why even-numbered elements are slightly more stable (although frankly I don't understand them). If you look at the recent timeline (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_chemical_elements) 112, 114, 116, 118 were all discovered before 113, 115, 117.
Those do work, but I don't think most people know about them. Also, I think the middle mouse click scrolling ("autoscrolling") is disabled by default in firefox, potentially in chrome too.
Death of the Follower and the Future of Creativity on the Web with Jack Conte [video]
This is a well articulated enterprise perspective; a huge part of selling "security" to people is trading on trust/reputation which takes time to build, and I would be starting from zero on that plane. And I also don't yet have vast flexibility in the products I offer. It's an uphill battle at first.

I could bypass this by partnering with a strong reputation. Alternatively, I could de-emphasize "security" in my early marketing as I build my brand: "Easy app deployments!" "Set-and-forget wifi certificates!"
And it closes the periodic table so nicely. We really shouldn't be trying to go any further until and if they can predict the island of stability with high confidence.
Maintaining any level of vigilance is still more exhausting than maintaining none at all, even if at some personal level you believe it shouldn't be hard to do.

I'm confused by your reference to "national projects" here. What are you comparing to?

It looks incredibly inefficient to me when I compare the billions blown on failed or worthless ventures to get a small number of valuable ones.
