This looks pretty insane. Has a 8000mAh battery and a 5.5” touch display. Apparently Radxa also want to partner with them to create a product. It has nice grips too for ergonomics and a gyro.

Impressive, very nice.
Even granting that, the overall point about subsidised / low-cost-leader informational content being potentially problematic is a fair one to make.

It's one of the chief problems of competing on price generally, and particularly so in the case of informational exchange.

I'm relatively confident I'd disagree on at least some of OP's classifications of biased information. I can still agree with their general point all the same.

And in either case, coming up with ways of testing for bias, and eliminating counterfactual biases, in AI outputs and systems, would I sincerely hope be a Good Thing.

"Not a bluff"–NASA's budget would shut down long-lived Chandra telescope
That's a good point, I'm not sure whether the energy use stats I linked really cover non-electricity fuel use. Maybe they do, but then there's the question of how much of _Google_'s energy use is non-electric, as opposed to everybody's consumption.
It copies the reference standard, which you are specifically not supposed to copy.
Interesting. How much would one have to pay you to stop using it?

Wondering what the use cases are (replace Google? Stack Overflow? etc).
This confirms that vx-underground is aware of the claim, and that it likely leaked from them, but they are very explicitly not verifying the claim. It doesn't seem particularly verifiable at the moment.
Panasonic makes the best batteries though.

But to your point, Amazon actually bait-and-switched their own batteries. They had basics batteries that were confirmed rebranded Panasonic eneloop, then changed them out to Chinese batteries while keeping the product page and reviews.

Amazon did that. So good luck getting them to crack down on reputation fraud.

Exactly.

I mean, the original screenshots do seem a bit weird, but what rule did the Twitter account break by posting it in order to be banned?

Why would they used Okta to pass such list of "protected users" to the clients? vx-undeground also mentioned that requesting the endpoint from different locations return different status codes (404 and 403).
The fact that the list only consists of known right-wing accounts and confirmed mouthpiece accounts is pretty suspect. Also that this was available from a public facing Okta url makes no sense.

You'd think a "leak" would reveal several other, as of yet unknown users, right? Not even a few internal test accounts? Some of them are even misspelled.

Occam's razor is that someone doctored a random page and threw in every well-known salacious account and then screenshotted it.

Stochastic assessment of temp–CO2 causal relationship in climate
As a result of recent research, a new stochastic methodology of assessing causality was developed. Its application to instrumental measurements of temperature (T) and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) over the last seven decades provided evidence for a unidirectional, potentially causal link between T as the cause and [CO2] as the effect. Here, I refine and extend this methodology and apply it to both paleoclimatic proxy data and instrumental data of T and [CO2]. Several proxy series, extending over the Phanerozoic or parts of it, gradually improving in accuracy and temporal resolution up to the modern period of accurate records, are compiled, paired, and analyzed. The extensive analyses made converge to the single inference that change in temperature leads, and that in carbon dioxide concentration lags. This conclusion is valid for both proxy and instrumental data in all time scales and time spans. The time scales examined begin from annual and decadal for the modern period (instrumental data) and the last two millennia (proxy data), and reach one million years for the most sparse time series for the Phanerozoic. The type of causality appears to be unidirectional, T→[CO2], as in earlier studies. The time lags found depend on the time span and time scale and are of the same order of magnitude as the latter. These results contradict the conventional wisdom, according to which the temperature rise is caused by [CO2] increase.
The thinking part of a model doesn’t know about tokens either. Like a regular human few thousand years ago didn’t think of neural impulses or air pressure distribution when talking. It might “know” about tokens and letters like you know about neurons and sound, but not access them on the technical level, which is completely isolated from it. The fact that it’s a chat of tokens of letters, which are a form of information passing between humans, is accidental.
I agree.

One of the reasons why I hesitate to use emojis is that there isn't enough standardization of what they look like. I've seen texts I've written that include them on other devices and have been pretty dismayed that that even relatively minor visual differences can make a huge difference in the meaning I intended vs the meaning that was actually received.

The water pistol/gun thing is this taken to an extreme. The initial change was bad because it introduced a huge amount of uncertainty in meaning. The change back is bad for exactly the same reason.
>My point is just that changing it back now is not undoing the damage, it's creating even more damage

That's just like, your opinion man! Some of us view it as the Internet healing.
It's definitely possible, it just means the professional level of the sport can't be funded mostly from the amateur level of the sport.

Type 1 diabetic as well here - I do this and I can confirm that I have much better control over my HB1C (average blood sugar reading) since I eat mostly a keto and plant based healthy diet (composed of minimally processed foods). One issue that I have though deals with hypoglycemia (low-blood sugar levels) since type 1 diabetics don't just require immediate insulin after meals - they require long-term acting insulin which works throughout the day. I've had multiple cases where I lost consciousness and woke up either in an ambulance or in a hospital feeling like someone hit me with a truck and having no recollection of how I got there. There is no 'magic' in managing type 1 diabetes unfortunately. The issue with us is that our blood sugar can swing in both directions - with the lower swing possibly resulting in death.
Ironically, you're demonstrating why Amex has higher status or "perceived value." The stereotypical Discover cardholder is extra frugal, micromanaging small cashback percentages (and bragging about it), something the stereotypical Amex cardholder doesn't have time for. It's kind of the same way a cheap Holiday Inn will make a big deal about offering free breakfast while the Four Seasons, costing 10x as much, does not. Now, stereotypes may not be reality, but that's what 60 years of very effective marketing can do.

> If they want to salvage Alexa, they need to forget shopping and start doubling down on the smart home and assistant experience.

The problem with this approach is that the vast majority of their installed base don't care about the smart home features.

The highest margins in smart home equipment are in the high end, as usual. However, Alexa explicitly targeted the mass consumer market. Many of those folks are completely satisfied with a couple of those "smart" switching plug things, which are dirt cheap and totally commoditized.

Many others live in apartments, and thus their options for home en-smarttening are very limited. Even if they wanted to go for a costly, sophisticated smart home setup, they can't.

Other folks just don't give a damn about smart home tech and are totally satisfied with a thermostat that they must use by walking over to it.

Maybe I'm wrong, but my instinct is that Alexa's reach is incompatible with a business model of selling smart home products for profit.
> Alexa can set timers and tell me the weather, and...that's basically it.

My usage is:

~30%: timers

~10%: weather

~60%: tell Alexa to add things to a shopping list, which I use when I'm at a physical store or ready to do a curbside shopping order
The individual techniques described in the class are in use all over the pharmaceutical and biotech industries (especially biosensors) but we're still in the early stages of biological circuits, akin to where electronics was right before the vacuum tube was invented. We've got stuff that operates sort of like basic logic elements like relay switches did in electronics, but we're far from designing any complex integrated circuits.

I think this point from the introduction says it best:

> - From a more practical point of view, we have a very limited ability to construct, test, and compare designs. Even with recent developments such as CRISPR, our ability to rapidly and precisely produce cells with well-defined genomes remains limited compared to what is possible in more advanced disciplines. (This situation is rapidly improving!)
if that is true then they are lying on their site where they claim: "Brave Search operates from a fully independent search index"

Stumbled upon this doing some unrelated research. Swipe for PumpkinOS, anyone?

Important to note that this does not include the patent for swipe gestures, such as gesture backspace and spacebar gesture cursor navigation. That one expires in 2030.
>> Alexa can set timers and tell me the weather, and...that's basically it.

I'm not sure if you're intending to be literal or engaging in hyperbole to make a point, but either way it doesn't gel with our experience. Yes, we definitely set timers and ask about the weather... near us, at places we're going to, in the near future, etc. We also ask for a lot of conversions, or adjustments to measurements. My partner is a great cook and she is constantly shouting out to Alexa to convert an amount, find a substitute, confirm a cooking temp and time and things like that. I ask it factual questions all the time and usually it has an answer: these might be history, technology, medicine, whatever. Given the device's low price point and lack of any ongoing subscription it seems like a pretty good value to us, and it will even play some mood music for us while we eat and tell us where our shipment of coffee filters is.

Is "git" relevant here? Forking isn't a git concept, and none of this behaviour has much to do with git; it's all GitHub.

Also, you can revoke an API key, but you can't revoke a company-proprietary algorithm that you implemented into a fork of a public project.
Exercise: Minesweeper in 70 Lines of C
Inspired by the recent post implementing Minesweeper in 100 lines of Ruby, here it is in 70 lines of C, at least a couple of which are blank.

It's a long time since I've done any APL, and I'm not sure it's going to be possible to reduce this to a single line thereof. But I'd love to see someone competent have a go :-)
The other really big use case - actually the majority for me! - is telling Alexa to add things to shopping lists. I have one list I always check when I'm at a physical store or preparing for curbside shopping.
Sometime in the next year, I finally get some other human interested in the BitGrid architecture[1] as a general purpose compute platform. It's an FPGA without the hassle (sorta). That helps me get out of analysis paralysis, and make a better case for the architecture.

Over the next few years, people figure out how to best impedance match it with the execution of AI workloads, and we're off to the races.... all those high speed transistors no longer have to sit around waiting for their turn to take part in executing code, and things get much, much faster.

But first... I need something more than a Pascal based emulator for the BitGrid, with no meaningful I/O.[2]

Maybe if I implement it as a blueprint in Factorio?

I want you to know that I appreciate this comment far more than you could ever know, and you are absolutely right.

At the time, it was not just a job. It was a passion with a bar rising much faster than I could rise to the occasion. Simultaneously, my personal life was slowly falling apart, from family and loved ones in need, and the result was eventual failure leading to me being terminated. Luckily, it was one of the best events that has ever happened to me. I was able to land in a much better role almost immediately, which eventually catapulted my career and assisted in me being able to become financially independent as well as pivot into a domain with immensely improved work life balance. Importantly, I recognize I got lucky. It could’ve easily gone the other way, with me giving up both professionally and personally (yeeting myself from this plane of existence).

So, I not only violently echo your comment to others who come across this thread, I will go further to say that sometimes when you’re going through hell, if you keep going, there is light at the other end. It is just a job, it is okay to ask for help, and failure is when you stop trying to get back up, not when you get knocked down.
> unpopular opinion here

Amusingly the unpopularity is almost universally originating from the same young white upper middle class suburb childhood people. Something pathological about rejecting their parents lifestyle rather than anythign to do with urban planning.

Private transit is universally superior to public transit, which is why the take rate of the former to latter correlated with things like income.

I do.

If my phone's in my pocket, it won't hear. If it's in my bag, it won't hear.

Or it sets the timer, but then a kid grabs my phone for something and leaves it upstairs were I won't hear it.

There's something to be said for a voice-activated timer in your kitchen that is always in your kitchen and never leaves your kitchen.

No, I don't think that applies here. Languages evolve and new terminology enters the lexicon all of the time, but that absolutely does not retrospectively change the rendering of pre-existing expressions of language.

Reddit Post Outage
Can't seem to be able to view any posts on reddit?
Thanks!

I'm a senior developer. Every now and then I'll debug something challenging and think about doing a nice write up about it -- but I don't have any existing online presence. I could throw a simple blog up on a website, but after posting an article there, I'm honestly not sure what to do next. Presumably at some point search engines will scrape it, but it likely won't have any meaningful search rank. I don't use social media. I could submit links to HN after I write each post, but that feels spammy and pretentious.

Any thoughts on what to do with a blog post after writing it?
> As described in the first example of the article, you can make a fork, commit to it, delete your entire fork, and yet the data will still be accessible via the parent repo, even though no one ever forked or cloned or saw your fork. That is not intuitive at all.

But isn't that only the third vulnerability, that private forks are implicitly made public?

As I said, I won't defend that decision.
Speaking objectively it’s either dumb or it matters.

There’s no reality that exists where it was dumb so you shouldn’t care it was changed but it’s dumb so it shouldn’t be changed back because it’s dumb right so it doesn’t matter what it is…

The people who changed it thought it mattered, the people changing it back do too so as dumb as it is, I guess it matters to both these groups, even if it is kinda dumb.

These dumbest of political battlegrounds are entirely the problem caused by the people who demanded the initial change, no one cared about this till someone cared about it.
I think the work on multi-token prediction[0] within a single turn could be a significant development that makes byte-level tokenization models more practical. This approach allows the model to predict multiple tokens in parallel, potentially addressing the efficiency concerns raised about byte-level models.

By predicting multiple tokens simultaneously, it could significantly speed up inference time, especially for tasks that require generating large amounts of data (like images). This could help mitigate the performance bottleneck mentioned in the parent comment about generating a 1000x1000 image.

You're assuming everyone is using the same version of unicode and the same fonts. Even this premise isn't true. For example, for me, it never changed because I do most of my typing/etc on an older system without modern unicode extensions post-v6. It was and is always a mess. There's no stability like you say. But if we want to measure something objective: the majority of unicode versions have been the firearm, not the water pistol.

Same here. I voted with my feet.
Author here:

For cloud hosts like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, the product is their inference hardware (mostly GPUs). The bigger the open model, the better!

For Meta however, its a bit more mysterious. From what I can glean, the stated objective is to ensure that the world standardizes on the same AI platform tooling Meta uses internally (presumably to drive down dev costs?).

The bigger "product" however is content creation itself. Giving users the ability to generate engaging content more easily can keep folks using social media and buying ads.
Most people who prefer DW would say that D&D sometimes has clear rules for something, but often has no rules, boring rules, or rules that aren't necessarily "fun". Combat, while tactical, tends to be slow and can frequently consume a lot of time in a session, plus the majority of rules and character powers are focused on combat.

If you're playing sessions with a lot of RP, DW will have a much better balance of rules:session-time, it's much easier to prep for, and given how rules-lite D&D really is outside combat, will probably have about the same amount of narrative input. Note that it's not necessarily the "group debating if the player survived", but typically the GM giving the player a choice when they fail to climb the wall, like "you fall and take a little damage, or you slip a little, cursing loudly and alerting the enemies at the top to you".

Done well, it gives the players a lot more agency, and much better buy-in for the story as they're now shaping it, instead of just being along for the ride. I would also say that pre-written narratives aren't really a thing for DW (at least, as far as I know!), so it's really down to what the DM sees as an appropriate penalty or choice, often phrased as "you succeed, but <thing>".

It's not really better or worse than D&D overall, I'd just say that it's much better suited for certain play-styles. If you enjoy tactical gameplay and using miniatures, then D&D (or maybe Pathfinder) are much better options. If the thought of yet another fight makes you want to gouge your eyes out, I'd recommend giving DW a try.
