Navy seals prioritize smooth over haste, even tactically:

They focus on cleanly executing the plan, in the tactical encounter, which they can do quickly, because they’ve rehearsed that plan several times.

Eg, room clearing is smoothly covering all the areas — not the fastest run through the building, which might create errors.
The article makes a lot of pretty bold assumptions and conclusions (i.e. that the media is to blame for increased partisanship, causality isn't clear at all, partisanship might drive media behavior etc),

but the entire article is basically I think almost useless without a baseline comparison, namely if people are less likely to pay for news than they are less likely to pay for anything else and I don't think that's true. People pay for virtually nothing on the internet if they can get a free (usually ad driven) alternative.

Be it search, web browers, apps, youtube, tiktok, with digital services the norm is usually that the service is free, a small percentage will pay for premium, so in that sense news functions literally just like anything else and the reluctance to pay isn't enough to make unsubstantiated claims about quality or bias in the news.
I attended a Tanenbaum lecture once where he talked about how silly it was that nothing happens if permissions are reduced for a file while some other user/process has an open handle to it, and this is something Linux doesn't care to handle and MINIX does (or perhaps just that a kernel/filesystem should handle it, and few do -- I don't recall exactly). Surely an edge case (logging? what else? I never keep files open for too long), but I thought it was an interesting one.

You can test this in Bash: userA does cat>/tmp/newfile (assuming a chmod or relaxed umask so /tmp/newfile is created with permissions 0664), userA types in lines of text every few seconds, userB does tail -f /tmp/newfile and watches lines appear, then userA does chmod 600 /tmp/newfile, but userB can continue to tail -f /tmp/newfile and watch lines appear.
I'm going to answer more from an applied perspective than 'real' ML.

Hacker News is a good source for news.

As far as learning, you have to build something.

I suggest you just start with example code from the OpenAI or Anthropic website for using the chat completion API. They have Node.js code.

r/locallama on reddit is interesting.

On Youtube, see Matt Wolfe, Matthew Berman, David Shapiro. Not really developer-focused but will mention developments.

You can search for terms like 'AI Engineer' or "agentic" or "LangChain" on youtube also.

To get motivated, maybe play around with the replicate.com API. It has cut and paste examples and many interesting models.

More ideas: search for "Crew AI" on X/Twitter.
Doing it once correctly is faster than doing it two (or more times) incorrectly.

And when you try to go fast, it's usually by being incorrect and hoping that it won't matter this one time.

Oly lifts are humbling in that being able to squat or press a lot of weight doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be able to snatch a lot of weight because there’s so much technique training required. The explosiveness and the sense of timing is very hard to learn.

No, it's not based on that.

It was based on a false rumor that spread on social media that the perpetrator of a recent triple murder was a Muslim asylum seeker. It turns out that the perpetrator is a British citizen who was born in Britain and is Christian.

What this reminds me of are pogroms in Eastern Europe, which were often sparked by false rumors about Jews.

You're applying a modern sensibility. Originally, the skepticism you're alluding to didn't exist. The existence of a god and the various related phenomena was taken for granted. Given the knowledge of the time, how else could humans have come into existence?

Widespread skepticism of those beliefs didn't start until the Englightment and the discovery of evolution.

TL;DR: In order to detect ad blocks sites create "bait" URL's that look like ads, but are purely there to detect if ad blockers block them. The only reason to do that is to punish the user for using a ad blocker, perhaps by nagging them, perhaps by refusing to display or load the content entirely. UBO responded by making bait URL's appear to work by redirecting them to local resources. Sites responded to that by putting required content behind bait URL's. So UBO now uses a number of dynamic heuristics it uses to detect what is bait and what isn't. Those heuristics aren't possible in V3.

My guess is UBO ability to change it's behaviour for every site based on what the site did created never ending war between ad blocker detectors and UBO. Engaging in that war too much effort for a lot of web sites to engage in, which is why you don't see too many ad blocker detectors. With advent of V3 this dynamic will change, as UBOL will have one hand tied behind it's back. My prediction is once V3 comes in, a lot more sites will start demanding you disable UBOL - but they won't notice the presence of UBO.
This would also have the advantage of being cheaper to list out; instead of rw-r----- (0640), it would just be “gu-” (-, u, g, a for the four levels).
As I said, really not that many, to a point I was about to turn off IPv4.

Ofc, it depends on your usage.

But what's very surprising are those Big Tech sites, with billions of $ and still IPv4 only, like msft github (and github has still its core functions working with noscript/basic (x)html browsers).

What is really bothering me is the admin of the mail server of my medical insurance company: IPv4... but that's not what is the most annoying, the most annoying: it is not white listing its client SMTP servers/client emails... this is another level of bad.

The point is to use the explosive power of your legs to optimally throw & catch a very heavy thing over your head. It’s not designed specifically to work any particular muscle but test your overall capability.

> That antisocial attitudes like this are shunned accordingly and projects that would attract them are avoided.

I don't find them antisocial whatsoever. Especially since, to my reading, the wider society is _ better_ because of the change. New communities take root and a better place arises.

Regardless, the community will change wether you want it or not. I find it rare that people wanting to stop something from happening get what they want. It's rather the people that want to build something that actually get stuff done.

No. In most American suburbs you can get more density by taking 2 single family homes and replacing them with one 6-plex. You’ll also have more open space, because a 6-plex takes up around one single family lot. Especially if the 6-plex can be 4-6 stories tall. Everyone can have more (private) interior and more (shared) exterior space if the neighborhood allows a little bit of density.

As a bonus having more neighbors means things like grocery stores within walking distance become good businesses, so you need a car dramatically less and less space needs to be taken up by parking lots.

To my knowledge, every bankrun on a non-algorithmic stablecoin has resulted in huge losses for the panic sellers, huge gains for the steady hands, and no lasting liquidity issues for the stablecoin itself.

Because it's a lousy product.

-Because opinion pieces increasing masquerade as news articles.

-Because journalists have no comprehension of basic math and statistics, so stats like "a woman earns $0.72 for each $1 earned by a man" are taken at face value or parroted endlessly. Most news articles show a lack of critical thinking.

-Context is deliberately avoided to paint nuanced topics as black and white.

-Graphs are intentionally created in a way to provoke outrage instead of understanding.

-Clickbait titles.

Sadly, all of this is true even for paid news such as NYT, WSJ etc.

If it matters, I have an Imalent DX80, bought in 2018. It is kept 3/5 charged in a drawer as emergency light if we have a power outage etc. After being dropped on concrete the glass is cracked and half of the diodes are offline, but it does its job.
Yes, it's the equivalent of "perimeter security" in networking. Once you are inside accessing a resource (connected to a network node or reading from a file descriptor in the kernel), you don't lose that access.
I feel like developers who don't write tests while writing their production code aren't doing a real job in 2024. Sure you might have a QA team or something, but that should be a vast minority of the tests being written. Test driven development and Agile and all that had some people upset and whiny 20 years ago, but if I see code without tests, I assume it's broken. The only way anyone knows anything works both now AND when the next 10, 100, 1000 commits roll in, your manually-tested edge cases have long been forgotten and I doubt you even got it right at all. Let's keep normalizing writing tests and thinking, up front, how to ensure our code works. That's the best time to think about all those pesky edge cases, and it's the only practical way to keep code working. Don't hoist this on to some poor chum because you are lazy or don't know how.

I’ve been noticing something like this as well. I often feel like I’m not doing much, because some people on my team seem to be alway getting called about to deal with this or that. But what they are dealing with is fixing code they wrote. My stuff is running just as often (or more), but it isn’t breaking or needing major changes all the time. Usually when something comes up, I can just tell whoever is asking to set flag x, because I figured that thing would happen at some point and accounted for it.

I've encountered assumptions such as this one as a user, and they're really frustrating.

This is already a more restricted type of attack than the common identify theft that's rampant right now in the US.

What you're describing requires the actual terminal you're interacting with to be malicious, and it can only be used to authorize individual transactions.

As things stand in the US, a much broader class of attacks are not only possible but common, in which the attacker takes over the identify of the victim and can authorize any number of transactions in their name.
As counterintuitive as it seems, that was my experience living in one of those neighborhoods and visiting others over several years. A handful of small stores on one block or corner every half-mile really doesn't induce that much traffic. It's an entirely different scale from a commercial district or even a car-oriented strip mall.

That’s absurdly naive – it’s like saying every picture is the same because they aren’t entirely (255, 255, 255) pixels. If your goal is to do anything other than feel smug, consider the impact such non-serious positions have on how other people will perceive anything more serious you say.
As an ML researcher my advice for you is: don't

ML moves fast, but not as fast as you probably think. There's a difference between innovations in architectures and demonstrations of them in domains (both are useful, both are necessary research, but they are different).

Instead, keep up with what tools are relevant to you. If things are moving fast and aren't sticking, then in a way they aren't moving fast, are they? You're just chasing hype and you'll never keep up.

On the production side, I also see a common mistake of relying on benchmarks too heavily. I understand why this happens, but the truth is more nuanced than this. Just because something works well on a benchmark does not mean it will work well (or better than others) on your application. ResNet is still commonly used and still a great option for many applications. Not everything needs a 1B+ transformer. Consider your constraints: performance, compute, resource costs, inference time, and all that jazz. Right now if you have familiarity (no need for expertise) in FFNs (feed forward/linear), CNNs, ResNets, and Transformers, you're going to be fine. Though I'd encourage you to learn further about training procedures like GANs (commonly mistaken as an architecture), unsupervised pretraining (DINO), and tuning. It may be helpful to learn a high level of diffusion and LLMs, but it depends on your use cases. (And learn whatever you're interested in and you find passion in! Don't let need stop you, but if you don't find interest in this stuff, don't worry either. You won't be left behind)

If you aren't just integrating tools and need to tune models, then do spend time learning this and focusing on generalization. The major lessons learned here have not drastically changed for decades and it is likely to be that way. We do continue to learn and get better, but this doesn't happen in leaps and bounds. So it is okay if you periodically revisit instead of trying to keep up in real time. Because in real time, gamechangers are infrequent (of course everyone wants to advertise being a gamechanger, but we're not chasing every new programing language right?). Let the test of time reduce the noise for you.

> I most often can’t see any use case for AI/ML in our products

This is normal. You can hamfist AI into anything, but that doesn't mean it is the best tool for the job. Ignore the hype and focus on the utility. there's a lot of noise and I am extremely sympathetic to this.

Look to solve problems and then right tool for the problem, don't look for problems to justify a tool (fine for educational purposes).

How would you want memory-mapped files to work, if permission changes affected open files?
> Not sure why you think weight is such a key variable.

I worked in cancer research-adjacent area (on computational biology). The problem with mice was that cancers in mice necessarily contain fewer cells than human cancers.

So a lot of treatments can simply clear these cancers completely, without giving them a chance to evolve resistance. Yes, you can try to compensate for that, but it just is not reliable.

In addition, mice are notoriously naturally susceptible to cancer. So their cancers, counter-intuitively, are often less evolved as a result.

> And when you say “brain” who could been a dozen different things.

I basically mean "degenerative brain diseases", very much including aging.
For whatever it's worth, asking a model to count is a terrible idea due to how they work.

You may have more luck with a hybrid approach, using LLMs for language understanding and computers for the counting. For example, ask them to write a short, one-line description of every instance where something happens, and then use a traditional program to count the lines.
Why do you think so many things are not measurable?

It's very hard to poll or measure things to within a fraction of one percent with most audiences. But that's not what's needed for advertising. And in marketing you probably don't care about that - it's in the noise. You do care of "significant" changes and you can of course measure both positive and negative influence.

Even negative influence in people who aren't yet customers, or have never heard of your company, and (preferably) have never seen your ad. For example through a polling survey. Funny enough, such a poll is probably an effective ad campaign in itself in some cases! You can also measure opinion strength about advertising in general. It's more nuanced than you think. Which unfortunately leads marketing departments to commit atrocious injury to good taste. Agreed there.

> No one rationally proposes that someone spends a hundred dollars on advertising to generate $100.10 in revenue is somehow a good use of money.

Of course not, and yet they spend far more than that, to good (measured) effect.

Probably.

Especially with the HSTX block which can apparently output at double the system clock (while the rp2040 was limited to 1/10th of the system)

If my rough math is correct, it should be possible to do output 720p 60hz video with an overclock to ~320Mhz. Though, actually generating that many pixels might be hard when you have nowhere near enough memory.

I would love to see some solid infomation about how well the rp2350 overclocks, apparently 300mhz is easy. 60hz 1080p is almost certainly out of reach, it would require something like a 700mhz overclock, but 30hz 1080p is probably viable.
Yes, kei cars are sure allowed to drive on highways.
