How difficult is the reaction? I went to a high school with a chemistry specialization, and the most clear thing about organic reactions is that they are hard. You get only a 20% or 30% of the product and you have to purify it becase a big part of the other 80% made similar products that you don't like. I don't know the details of fentanyl but they have a few reactives so it look like they must perform multiple steps, so I guess a global 1% efficiency.
I can't find a buy button. Is this only for EU customers, perhaps?
What I mean by generic questions is traditional search is pretty alright (in the past and now) if you threw at it "how to set an arbitrary bit in a number". You get plenty of generic articles answering the question just fine, even if you have to scroll past some ads these days. If you were instead using quotes to get a specific answer to something you were doing like 'How to set the "18th bit" in a "u32" using "Zig"' then that's more what I meant by "answering something" without wanting to go piece together the answer from generic articles yourself then search does and has always really sucked (unless you're extremely lucky and some dude posted exactly that example out on the web). This is where LLMs shine, you can ask that question and get an exact answer for your scenario (plus the generic explanation of why it works if that's what you really want) without having to piece together sources yourself.

Misaligned incentives will of course make either side worse but search engines ~2010 were (and now still are) far from being good solutions for all types of queries, they were just closer to being good than anything else we had for them.
Understanding the low level details helps, but another benefit of having engineering experience is being able to empathize with the original engineers.
Why frontier models can both achieve silver medal in Math Olympiad but also fail to answer "which number is bigger, 9.11 or 9.9"?
My experience with tabular data textbooks is that they introduce many different techniques, in a relatively un-opinionated way, which doesn't help give you intuitions on what your strategy for real-world problems should be. In practice, almost all tabular data problems I've encountered boil down to:

1. Make sure you don't have any impossible nonsense or data leakage in your features or target

2. Split your data in an intelligent way (temporally for time-series, group-wise for hierarchical data)

3. Try a really simple linear regression / logistic regression model to get a "dumb" baseline for your accuracy/error metric and make sure it is reasonable

4. If you need interpretability, consider a GAM, else, throw it into XGBoost and you'll get state of the art results
man this is a good case study, thanks for the read!
Agree, I don't think product-market fit is the problem here. A lot of the takes here assume they need to attract top talent and they don't. There's a very long tail of popular-ish, C and D list celebrities who can command $50-$250 a video. There's a business that can work, though I agree it could never command the insane valuation it had at the peak. There's also a reasonably good likelihood that their costs aren't well managed.
They wouldn’t have to “conquer” it. They’d just march straight through and end up in Ukrainian SSR and Belarus. My point is, the USSR was hardly unique in signing “intersting” pacts in late 30s, and its desire to surround itself with at least some semblance of buffer states is quite understandable given that there are, famously, no natural geographical obstacles between it and invading European hordes. And regardless of anything else, Poland would be fucked far worse if it wasn’t for Stalin. That’s a tough pill to swallow, sure, but you don’t have to take my word for it. The Nazis did document their plans.

Nope. Don't care.

I care about what effects the policies are having, not how much I pay in taxes. The impact of the policies is what actually matters. The tax rate is one tiny detail. I'm not wired to automatically assume collective action is evil, so I only care about it in the context of the effects of all policies combined.
I like how straightforward this one is! It’s fast, it’s obvious, and it’s good enough, if you know something about the data ahead of time. I would have reached for this about four years ago, if I’d known about it.

> The K-202 could conduct a million operations per second – many more than the PCs that became popular a decade later.

That the K-202 was faster than the personal computers that came later is not unusual, because those later computers were based on microprocessors. Early microprocessors such as the 8008 and 8080 were not speed demons compared to LSI TTL designs of that time. The article mentions the [Data General] Super Nova as being similar in speed to the K-202.

Another interesting computer is the Datapoint 2200, another TTL design. The manufacturer went to Intel and TI to realize their CPU design on a single chip, which resulted in the 8008, a microprocessor with an almost identical instruction set and which ran slower than the original 2200.

Not really "out of band", but many VMs allow you to setup a serial console, which is sort of that, albeit with a login, but in reality, could create one without one, still have to go through hypervisor auth to access it in all cases, so perhaps good enough for your case?
I agree with this, putting these AI's in production seems nuts to me, but economics seems to reward the enshittification of everything hehe
> it is considered theft-of-service if you bypass the posted site usage terms

My understanding is that this is not accurate.

HiQ v LinkedIn established that this is only the case if you actually agreed to the terms of service. Such "agreement" only happens if the information is walled behind an account creation process, e.g. Facebook, Inc. v. Power Ventures, Inc. If it's just scraping publicly available webpages, the only legal issue with scraping would be unreasonably or obviously negligent scraping practices which lead to degradation or denial-of-service. And obviously the line for that would have to be determined in civil court.

eBay v. Bidder's Edge (2000) is the last case that I could find which even considered violation of robots.txt as very minor part of the judgement, but the findings were based far more on other things. Intel Corp. v. Hamidi also implicitly overruled the judgement in that that ruling (though not related to robots.txt, which was really just a very minor point in the first place).

Cooper Basin geothermal ran out of money trying to make fracked thermal work in Queensland. "can" is true. It isn't always straightforward.
Most marriages - a kind of union - also don't invest in cooperatives. Even if they meet the accredited investor standard.

Neither does the Union of European Football Associations, otherwise known as UEFA. They make up for it with a dope anthem.

Neither the Kalmar Union, nor any other personal union of monarchs, ever invested in a cooperative. Although some may have invested in joint stock companies, such as the various East India companies.

Maybe the Soviet Union was into worker cooperatives? Not sure.

And finally, the union of the set of workers at cooperatives and the empty set invests in cooperatives. Hey look, we found one type of union that definitely invests in cooperatives!

And the one thing we'd want to know isn't mentioned: what overpressure caused the burst, and how does that relate to pressure in space for use.

I mean, blocking random IP ranges is your prerogative if you don't want to have customers. The scrapers will find ways around, while actual users will be unable to use your site. Residential proxies are something like $5 for 1000.
From another perspective, just because others are having success, does not mean one should not recognize one's own. It is not a zero sum game here, it's win-win.

Also, the article indicates it is more likely over 40% growth for 2024, it is 25% year over year for the first 5 months of the year, not for an entire year.

I'll be honest... I don't care about this thing. I view public posts as something that belongs to the public domain and if that is searchable, all the better, other people can reach my post. And if that is what LLM's are trained on, also, great, I hope it will be useful to some people. What I _do_ care about is an even playing fields and access to _all_ llms to be trained in that data.

In the end, I view potential AGI's as a common consciousness brainchild.

How did they not know about these requirements? I know this just by seeing the endorsement disclosures everywhere I see someone on video talking about a product. It's sort of like knowing that requirements for cookie usage is a thing just because you see the acceptance forms everywhere.

I see the demand but not the supply.

Most famous/rich celebrities would a 9-to-5 type of job, lol. For them to be worth it, it would have to be like 1-10k per video, which the average person wouldn't pay at all.

I always specifically flew Southwest because I loved this policy, and shunned every other airline specifically because of a lack of a like policy.

For me it was great because as a person with a shaved head and a long goatee, most people would avoid sitting next to me until seats got into last resort, which simply meant extra comfort usually the more angry I looked that day. I'd usually even pay to board early to get a window seat for this reason.

I haven't flown in the past 5 years or more now, I'll be annoyed the next time I have to with Southwest again, damn them.
It costs about $400k to own a home but I can buy a share of VOO for less than $500 and own a piece of the top 500 companies in the US. Ownership of pieces of companies (stocks) is far easier and more affordable than home ownership.

Additionally, your return over the long term on personal real estate is only 4% per year while the S&P 500 average returns per year are 10%.

Home ownership is not always desirable or the best financial decision for many people.
I built a system that did this years ago https://x.com/austingwalters/status/1041894765439201281

Ironically, it doesn’t use embeddings even though at the time and since I’ve basically exclusively used embeddings.

Main issue with embeddings is they don’t change well overtime (you can adjust, but not as easily as other methods). Language is filled with industry specific acronyms and models are generally not great at adapting to changing phrasing and acronyms.

Anyway, eventually decided to put some more pieces together and built it into a company - https://ipcopilot.ai

That's not really true. Structured programming completely supplanted the paradigm that predated it. I think it's pretty close to a consensus now that null values are a mistake. Same with manual memory management.
> Tridge also reverse engineered BitKeeper, the proprietary software that Linus foolishly used to host Linux kernel development for a while.

I wouldn't necessarily call it 'foolish': Linus used the best available tool at the time. (I don't know whether BitKeeper was the best available tool in some absolute sense, but Linus looked around and evaluated many of them.)

> [...] you can type "help" and it then spits out a list of commands to try...

That was actually a nice engineering / UI decisions by the BitKeeper developers, but I'm afraid the morale of the story would be not to make your software too helpful?

> You can then interrogate the repository with these commands and get a complete understanding of all the internal data structures, without ever using the proprietary software, let alone having to disassemble it.

That's a strange use of 'use'? Clearly, talking to some software over the network is 'using' it?
Please review HiQ vs. LinkedIn - it hinged on the fact that HiQ hired crowdsourced workers (“turkers”) to create fake profiles through which to access LinkedIn’s platform (who had to agree to the ToS to create these accounts). The court found that hiQ expressly agreed to the user agreement when it created its corporate account on LinkedIn’s platform.

This doesn't apply if you don't ever agree to anything - which is the case if the information is not locked behind account creation.
In my experience, elicit’s big weakness is accuracy.
I was surprised to learn this (I moved to the Bay Are shortly after the Loma Prieta quake and have lived here ever since). Fires, floods, and drought have all had much more impact to me than quakes. Of course, earthquakes in an area like this are always going to be a stochastic risk, underlining the folly that is California.
I always wondered how that would work in a medium or large codebase.

Is it easy to refactor? Refactoring can change the interface of classes, which is easier if they are explicit.

And my main fear: how do I know I use the right object? I would tempted to add methods all the time to satisfy the target interface instead of using another object that already satisfies that interface.

Not knowing explicitly whether I can use an object or not is confusing, or am I missing something obvious?

Edit: Last but not least, how do I know my classes implement an interface that could require 5 or 10 methods? I had to do that in Go, and counting and searching the methods was really a waste of time, so much that I had to add comments to explain the interfaces that were implemented in every class.
Shameless plug...

There's a difference between being stable (robust once connected), and connecting aggressively.

We have two cars from the same manufacturer, each paired with two iPhones. Start either car or drive by, and the car will take over an existing Bluetooth connection from one of the iPhones. And by take over, I mean: disconnect an active connection streaming to Airpods/Beats/Airplay soundbars, and grab that stream of music/video/conference call into the car.

The driver in the car then has to pause playback or hang up on someone else's call, because there's no way to pass it back.
In general, problems that some languages would solve with an interface containing 1-2 methods can be solved simply via delegates in C#. Then you can bind to any method with a compatible signature, or to an anonymous closure, or to a local function, without any fuss. Compared to the bad old days of having to write a whole anonymous class in java, it's pretty straightforward. Thankfully things like ValueTuple are built-in now alongside ref/out parameters, so producing multiple return values is no problem.

The downside is usually a method with a compatible signature doesn't have compatible behavior. This is part of why explicit interfaces are still valuable.

Millions of people all across the country built homes in suburbs because they wanted peace. They’re not horrifying. Even if you personally find them dull, they are a nice way to live for many others. Even if yours is badly built, many are not. Parking garages are not creepy, they’re just utilitarian. They overstate their case by pointing to one place that they don’t like and generalizing that to all suburbs.

> How do you do this on modern commodity hardware without secure boot?

It’s not necessarily easy without Secure Boot, sadly. The actual straightforward solution is boot ROM. It would be nifty if someone made SD cards, eMMC devices and such meant for this use case for independent use. Most Android vendors manage to use boot ROM.

News agency pulls article claiming to fact-check JD Vance couch rumor
Yes. In particular, it means you can switch from depending on a concrete type (say, a whole S3Client) vs depending on just a much smaller interface (eg if you only want GetObject) without having to touch anyone else’s code. The compiler will still check that the types being assigned to the interface meet those constraints.
I've come up with a few minor ideas, mostly for around the home.

I created a little web app (that I just run locally for now) where I can give it a recipe url and it will fetch the content and feed it to the LLM and adjust it to my cooking preferences.

For example, a lot of recipes will mask things as ingredients that are really steps, like "1 bell pepper, diced". The LLM can separate it into 1 bell pepper as an ingredient and dicing it as a step.

Another thing that annoys me in recipes is that the amounts for ingredients, like spices, aren't included in the steps; I hate scrolling back up to check how much to add.

I threw it together as a weekend project and it works ok; I'd like to add a small chat component to it so that I can revise recipes during or after and save them for the future, because I make mental notes of how I should make it next time but never remember them.
