The encyclopedia was created in 1995 by Edward N. Zalta, with the explicit aim of providing a dynamic encyclopedia that is updated regularly

~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Encyclopedia_of_Philo...

I recall when this first appeared online and how a core "early gang" fleshed out a skeletal framework, eg: the first draft of the Sorites Paradox was belted out in 1997 by Dominic Hyde

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/sorites-paradox/

https://hpi.uq.edu.au/profile/388/dominic-hyde

and I can still see today the residual hand of he and his various peers that worked together to build an outline that represents the largely computer literal | math | logical philosphy student of the late 1980s|early 1990's PoV.

Is Pharma different than Engineering in terms of IP?

If my former employer has evidence that what I am working on in a new gig was discovered while on company time using company resources couldn't they sue?
>But the result seems pretty obvious. Even the 7nm Ryzen U-series at 15W (e.g. 7730U) was beating the 5nm M1 on multi-threaded workloads and the HX 370 is well ahead of both on single-thread performance. Single-thread workloads aren't significantly power limited, so to not be the case the Zen5 HX 370 would have to be slower than the Zen3 7730U on threaded workloads at the same TDP, which seems unlikely.

Again, would like a source on that. Please no Cinebench R23.

I found this site very convenient for doing a rough comparison of several of my phone screens.

I chose three different phones: an old Samsung Galaxy Note3, vivo y3s and a Moto 54g 5g and was quite surprised. I expected the Samsung to have the most vibrant colors but the Moto came first, Samsung second and the vivo a poor third.

Right, it's a rough and ready check but it's nice and practical.
This is a well-written article, but one thing that wasn't clear to me was how the runtime determines that it's at a safe point. Can someone shed some light on that?

What diplomacy would you suggest, given the other goal of "Russia cannot gain anything from the war in Ukraine"? Russia has made blantently clear with their war in Ukraine that they want the good old USSR back, and I (and most of the population of Eastern Europe) have little faith they'd stop there. That's the reason Ukraine is getting so much support: if Russia gets even a little bit more land from this war, they'll just try again. They got Crimea basically for free and they took that as a signal they could keep going. Why would they stop taking land if no-one bothers to stop them?

And, yeah, duh. I would suggest, if they want people, that they treat their population with some respect so that fertility rates aren't in the ground, they don't have a massive brain drain as everyone tries to leave, maybe some people might want to immigrate, and oh yeah, maybe don't have a war which absolutely decimates their population of young men? Russia could be so much better if they sorted their own shit out before making it everyone else's problem, but that would involve Putin loosening his grip on power.
Fun fact, you don't even need to write anything on the ballot if you are in the UK, since every one of these has a unique number already, and every voter has a number which is printed down on the counterfoil of the ballot paper automatically. Secrecy of the ballot is not guaranteed in the UK, as officials do have access to the counterfoil and can determine how individual electors have voted. Even some US states require the ability to link ballots to voters, and it doesn't make these elections fundamentally non-free or unfair. People are fundamentally non-free to this day, nor will be free any elections they participate in, as long pseudo ballot secrecy is required to protect them from violence and graft and as long as they have no comtetence, knowledge and confidence in expressing and discussing their political decisions publicly.
So it has the same problem with a lot of "memory", reads are destructive. Your write probe and read probe are the same, some sort of needle/poker?
I'm in the process of coming to terms with how neurologically diverse people are.

Some people are completely comfortable with being late, or having smudged glasses, or driving erratically - it does not bother them in the slightest.

Their world is completely different to mine, and it's not that they don't care about the sloppy code or that they are too lazy to polish it - they don't even see it.

Humans are surprisingly diverse in how their brains work.

No, there are legitimate reasons to install a certificate to intercept traffic as an owner of a device. But the same tools can be abused by malware and by malicious actors to intercept traffic. Its the same in a strictly technical sense but not the same in the intent sense. The intent is to prevent malicious abuse of the feature, not justified non-malicious use. It helps make it harder to intercept application traffic but this is not the intent of the restriction, merely an unintended consequence.
Don't break backwards compatibility.

It's one of the core things that has enabled the web to be as useful as it is. One of the things that draws people in, and keeps them using it.

Yes, there are problems with what we have. But if you break compatibility, you'll either not be adopted, or part of the crowd that the audience yells at for taking away their favourite things. You'll kill efforts and bury knowledge bases.
Microsoft's decision to bundle IE with Windows was considered a monopoly. Similarly, Google's move to kill off Chrome's extensions for ad revenue is comparable to Microsoft's actions.

Boo-hoo.
It says he used the money from redundancy to continue with his work. Pfizer would have a hard time winning that case because the discovery was made past their employment. Having field knowledge doesn't make it a crime. Coding is different because it's easier to copy paste functions & classes, it also doesn't help that everything has timestamps. Your best bet is to rewrite everything.
Announcing that you're hiring with a title that would normally be a layoff announcement sure is a choice I guess? Either this was a weird attempt at being clever or they're really bad at communicating.
Out of curiosity, what would you say is the most accurate/comprehensive resource for learning about these?
Exactly as they intended. They can claim all they want that this is for security and that they're "supportive" of adblockers, but if you read the meeting minutes it's clear that they're just phoning it in in terms of the API surface needed to properly support adblocking against a hostile web.

Drone maybe but you underestimate the speed of a rocket.

Also computation power adds payload weight or makes your system dependent on a server side comms link.

I am not sure what the solution is but restricting these models away from open source usually just means denying access to the public, while bad actors will still find a way to use it or discover it (with just slightly more effort).
Wait, what is Tesla’s “e2e” model? And you “can see robotaxis”?

Tesla is counting on “humanoid “ robots. Which , uhh, yah, good luck undercutting minimum wage workers.

"Cumulative emissions" is the sunk cost fallacy masquerading as an excuse to defer blame onto dead people instead of doing something to address the active problem.
Is it, though?

An LLM burns through how much power, compared to the tiny Arc server? You could outsource it, of course... But then you have a third party dependency.

Then you have the problem that LLMs continually and constantly change words to be "simpler" and destroy the very sensitive meanings, especially words in tech. Like auto-correcting Fediverse into Universe. Or C into C++.
I once did similar black magic to have a dual-OS set up (Linux & Windows) where the _same_ Linux OS can be either booted into or ran in a VirtualBox VM from within Windows. I probably spent more time reading about it & getting it to work than I ever actually used the OS, but it was a fun learning experience.

Your entire argument is about throughput in sequential pipelines or parallel systems. On systems not shared with other independent tasks.

Yes, in those simple cases there is one bottleneck at any given time.

But most tasks do not fit those conditions, and economically and technically are best optimized reflecting other objectives than just throughput.

Many times parallel or sequential pipelined groups of tasks have optional subtasks, so there will be as many bottlenecks as there are components that may run while others don’t.

Many tasks run intermittently, or for resource reasons, need to run as an uninterrupted sequence, with no opportunity to pipeline, and are optimized for latency. Which means any speed up of any subtask has value.

Many systems run multiple independent tasks to maximize return on resource costs, and so tasks are optimized to minimize active computational time. And any speed up of anything can improve that.

In all those cases, multiple modules can be usefully optimized at any given time.

And many factors can be relevant to making that choice. Such as relative benefit of optimization vs. time to achieve the optimization, cost of making the optimization, and project risk, all come into play.

In practical reality, there is a long tail of such factors. For instance, the skill and interest levels of available developers, relative to the module optimization options.
In principle, the answer should be (if we ignored the language community and the model of the stdlib, which we shouldn't do), that structs should be used for most things, and classes only when they are needed. There's nothing a class can do that a struct can't, and structs are not automatically allocated in the heap, so they take some pressure off the GC. Go showed that you can have a fully managed GC language where all types are value types, and get pretty good ergonomics. Java is adding support for value types specifically for performance reasons, and so may have a similar attitude in the far future.

Note that Go does have one feature that makes value types more ergonomic - the ability to explicitly take a reference to one and use it as any other variable, using the syntax of C pointers (but without pointer arithmetic). In C#, if you need a reference to a structs type, your options are more limited. There is `ref` for function parameters, but if you want to store it in a field, you need to use some class type as a box, or perhaps an array of 1 element, since there are no "ref fields" in this sense (there are ref fields, but they are a completely different thing, related to the "ref structs").

Now, in working with real C# code and real C# programmers, all this is false. The community has always preferred using structs almost exclusively for small immutable values, like Color. The standard library and most C# code is not designed with wide use of structs in mind, so it's possible various methods will copy structs unnecessarily around. People aren't used to the semantics of structs, and there is no syntactic difference between structs and classes, so mutable structs will often cause confusion where people won't realize they're modifying a temporary copy instead of the modifying the original.

I've also been confused why they stay so small. It seems like such a good idea, why not scale faster and larger. My guess is they are so bound to the hacker ethos and culture. Also the regulatory gray area the product sits in, scaling too large would put a target on them.
A long time ago, I wrote a page about various reported solutions for this problem [1]. It must have been around 1978 that I first heard of this puzzle. I am not sure, if I did find the solution by myself. (I just noted that the page contains some dead links.)

- The State is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

But in all seriousness, I think the research matters because they aren't just concerned with what can hold information, but also suggest looking at what does hold information that is actually used for some biological purpose.
I think it's less that being meticulous is time consuming than that, in the same way that things have different values to different people, things can have different costs. I feel like if I didn't put things in convenient places that may be difficult to find later, I'd end up doing a lot of backtracking in the present.

Eg, I misplace my wireless headphones a lot. Something comes up that demands my full attention, so I take off my headphones. My headphones live at my desk.

If I walk to my desk, I'm likely to forget what I needed to do - there's lots of stuff demanding my attention on my desk, after all. Someone could also engage me in conversation on my way. Much of the time I'll return to my original task without issue, sometimes I'll get distracted for 15 minutes, sometimes I'll get distracted for an hour.

It's a lot cheaper to just put down my headphones. Or maybe it's more accurate to think of it as less risky.

Most cars have Autosteer now provided by MobilEye, I'm wondering where comma ai think they fit going forward?

Like, for example they support: Ford Escape
2020, 2021, 2022

'openpilot upgrades your Ford Escape with automated lane centering at all speeds, and adaptive cruise control that automatically resumes from a stop.'

But even the base model of these cars already does this including coming to a complete stop. They do it very well and rarely disengage.

That’s me, thanks for the mention!

In hindsight actually I’d probably have put a little more of the computation side in the video. Based on comments I’ve received I think a good portion of the audience is just looking to get something working and doesn’t necessarily want to understand what a matrix is to get there. I think this article is a great resource for that.
Maybe it's semantics, but I understand it was discovered while at Pfizer and further developed post-redundancy. IANAL but it definitely feels like a grey area?

A decade ago, I bought a bucket of 25 nail clippers. My wife was initially skeptical, but over the next few years, grew to appreciate the low demands of the system: Need a nail clipper? Go to the bucket. See a nail clipper in a weird place? Put it in the bucket, if you feel like it and have the time. Otherwise, don't worry about it. There'll be one in the bucket when you need it.

I enjoyed the dichotomic search.

It's a very interesting concept as I'm sure you can extract some interesting insight about the profile of a user from the list of 12+ words they'll come up with. (When looking back at most of mine, they're words that came up in this week's conversations or lyrics of my Spotify playlists)

Like, it might be a fascinating little add-on to have a "Rorschach" LLM-based module attached which looks at the vocabulary you used and tries to sketch out a cold reading about you.
This just doesn't sound real.
> [...] I don't really see the solution at a societal level being self-teaching.

Sorry, if I wasn't clear: self-teaching can be part of a solution, but it's not required. (See eg what I said about sitting in on lectures or doing online courses etc.)

There's also relatively cheap universities you can attend.

> I also very much appreciated my traditional liberal arts education (I studied Political Science thinking I wanted to go to law school), and feel that our society would benefit from tech workers having a broader background in history, humanities, religion, and social sciences overall.

There's nothing wrong with people choosing to learn about these things, yes.

Though I don't think making these topics mandatory would do much (or does much). Just have a look at all the mandatory crap in school, and what people actually remember. Eg they have years and years of math (or history etc) and barely anything sticks.

They don't though. If they cared about CO2 then the amount of CO2 they emit would be decreasing over time, because that would be their priority over e.g. rapid growth or cost considerations. If they wanted to they could be shutting down coal plants and replacing them with solar or nuclear instead of building new coal burners in addition to solar, but they're not.

So the truth here is that the reason they're doing this is because they aren't yet good enough to sell to Hollywood. Not to say that Hollywood isn't using deep learning[0], but there's typically a combination of classical tools and deep learning tools. But these companies all seem to have an aversion to traditional tools and appear to want to be deep learning all the way down. This is a weird tactic and the fact that people are funding such companies is baffling. I can't even imagine a future where you don't want traditional tools, even if ML could do 99%. Hell, even 100%. Language is pretty lossy and experts are still going to want to make fine grain edits.

Or they could have been one of the dozens upon dozens of failed self-driving startups that promised the moon and never shipped a product. Sheesh, if only they'd hired a bunch of headhunters to find money-hungry Ivy League CS grads, they could have joined the party of smoldering VC scams!

As for Waymo...is it really the best? It won't even drive on highways! Plus, it's not like you can "buy" a Waymo car. Nor will you ever be able to, I suspect.

Tesla is still the leader, but with Cruise in a death spiral and Waymo burning through so much cash their balance sheet is on the verge of spawning a gravitational singularity, I would not be so quick to dismiss Comma's strategy. Unlike anyone but Tesla, they ship a product you can actually buy, and actually use.

It's not clear what Tesla actually means when they say "E2E". The expectation most people have is that there's a single NN between sensor data and steering wheel/pedals out. Based on the limited technical detail available from "AI day" and such, what they're actually doing is more along the lines of a bunch of ML models glued together in a pipeline.

Now you might ask why people talk about Tesla E2E all the time if it's not clear exactly what it is. I don't know either. Let me know if you figure out a charitable rationale.
>It's not like they have denied they were at fault. So I'm really not sure what you're actually wanting.

Interest thing, nobody said about price fork. What mean, anyway you will see customers, who need something special and could pay for it, and others 80% who will be satisfied with some standard functions list and 10% who will just dissatisfied and flee away.

So, simplest is to make product or service for 80% most probable clients (Henry Ford), even make it slightly limited, even try strip some functions and make some gentle pressure on clients, and make significantly more expensive offer (at least 50%) for people who need customization, and once you will see, people will demand add stripped functions, this really mean, they need those functions for these money.

Sure, you cannot strip functions if exists strong competitors on market, so you need some strategy to first become most powerful on market.
