I would love to also see some sort of diverged reimplementation of the Unreal Engine that worked on a fixed tilmestep instead of a variable one, but it seems like maybe this implementation is faithful to the original engine behavior as well.
I work around that (with limited success) by prepending the latest docs (migration guides, how-tos) into the conversation. gpt-4o picks that up perfectly
Would you feel differently if instead of being hooked on drugs, we deployed gene therapy at scale to patch the dysfunctional pathways Western society and economies have taken advantage of? What if patching the genome is helping people so that they have capacity to contribute more to improving society? Consider not only the metabolic changes a GLP-1 agonist encourages (a vaccine against Western diet, if you will), but also inhibits addiction.

GLP-1 pharma intervention is breadboarding the human, next step is a permanent fix. Adversarial bioengineering, if you will.
I mean, you could have just made a quick proxy with a little express server to get around this anyways. But I shouldn't be complaining, it's good that they did this.

Complexity is unbounded, so the discussion around free will probably makes more sense on the opposite end of the choice spectrum. We have a countably infinite number of choices (due to thermodynamic energy limits) to make even within a framework of quantum mechanics, where electrons can only have discrete energy levels (limited number of ‘choices’). Choosing meaning from the infinite looks more like free will than deciding heads or tails.
The 100base-T1 and 1000base-T1 standards already exist, and are already widely adopted. 10base-T1S is intended to replace CAN, which is sub-10 Mb/s, and often ~2 Mb/s; this is a niche where cost comes first. For non-multidrop links, intermixing 1000, 100, and 10 Mbit/s ethernet links on the same switch is trivial, so each link can be independently chosen and cost-minimized; and for sensors and high bandwidth items with safety impact, multidrop is generally not the preferred approach anyway. Basically -- 10base-T1S fits a new niche (for Ethernet), where the niches you mention are already well addressed.
You could say the same thing about your drinking water or the food you buy.

Modern society is complex, and even simpler historical societies were dependent on cooperation before we got anywhere near the level of complexity and specialization we deal with today.

At the end of the day it’s a trust issue. Studies, be they medical, scientific, or observational, are one way to build trust. There are many others, but I’m not sure how well they scale with the size of a society compared to the systems we have in place today.
Super cool!

> You can already see the shape of what’s to come. In the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the defense claimed that Apple’s pinch-to-zoom manipulates photos, successfully persuading the judge to put the burden of proof on the prosecution to show that zoomed-in iPhone footage was not AI-manipulated. More recently, Donald Trump falsely claimed that a photo of a well-attended Kamala Harris rally was AI-generated — a claim that was only possible to make because people were able to believe it.

The issue in the Rittenhouse case was about zooming in on and enhancing a tiny region in a video frame claimed to show Rittenhouse aiming his rifle at protesters[0]. The pixels intepreted as Rittenhouse's support hand turned out to already be present in the frames before he approaches[1], so it's hard to argue that the judge's decision (show the unmodified video, or get an expert to testify about Apple's upscaling) wasn't correct. That there were in fact misleading pixels/artifacts, and that they were from traditional non-AI photography/upscaling, makes this example cut against the article in both ways.

For cases like the rally, where we have multiple independent perspectives, I also don't think much changes. The hard part would be the conspiracy between many participants including major news organisations. Photobashing a crowd, or "An actual, non-AI-generated cockroach in your takeout", in one person's image has never really been difficult.

In my opinion, GOG is phenomenal and hands down the best digital game storefront now, but it's not what consumers care most about. Many people already have extensive libraries on Steam, too.
I imagine a lot of the normies that got blocked trying to get to sci-hub didn't remain normies for long.
Are we talking about proper 'leases' on propane tanks (usually very large propane tanks, meant to be attached to the side of a house/business)? Or are you referring to the usual 20 lb tanks that are stored underneath grills? Because everyone I know 'owns' 20 lb tanks. Nobody pays some monthly fee to lease them. You just typically exchange the entire tank, fuel and all, for whatever other tank someone has.

If that was how the battery swaps work, then I'd agree, but that isn't what Nio is doing. You are paying a monthly fee for the battery in addition to paying for each swap.

Thanks for asking. The privacy filter was actually one of the first things we’ve launched with: Omnifact's privacy filter leverages a custom-trained Named Entity Recognition (NER) model for advanced data masking and context-aware content filtering. This ensures sensitive information is replaced with placeholders while preserving the AI's contextual accuracy. The platform supports on-premise deployment and self-hosted LLMs, offering full data control and compliance with regulatory standards.
How to format a marketing message to achieve the desired goals
Did you know that we are more likely to remember between 5 and 9 items at a time?

This is known as Miller's Law in psychology, and it can be applied as a principle when creating marketing messages.

But that's not all.

I've written an article where I outlined additional elements that can help marketers, founders, or business owners craft more compelling marketing material to achieve their goals.

> Are closed-source solutions inherently evil and risk-carrying?

Absolutely not.

> Why would you NOT choose a 10x solution for your use case only because it’s not open-source?

Because software being open source (in the general sense) gives that software an enormous advantage all by itself. Even if proprietary software is "10x", it's still burdened with the rather large disadvantages of being proprietary.

I buy and use proprietary software, but only when it enables me to accomplish something I can't accomplish with open source software. And even then, I'm keeping an eye out to be able to ditch the proprietary solution as quickly as possible.
Sort of, yes. But if the existing thing were "the cheapest", quantization wouldn't exist.

It depends on what your constraint is! So if you're memory constrained (or don't have a GPU), a bunch of 1 bit atoms with operations that are very fast on CPU might be better

I haven't thought very deeply about whether it's provably faster to do gradient descent on 32 bits vs 8, but it probably always is. What's the next step to speed up training?
The question was how to reduce your exposure, not eliminate it. Of course you can't be 100% clean from microplastics, but why not do what you can given what we currently know?

Yes, freeways are major sources of microplastics and yes, I drive on a major freeway daily. That's why I suggested getting a HEPA filter for your car. Does it make a huge difference? Probably not, but the cost of doing so is also very low.

Some studies suggest that indoor air can contain more microplastics than outdoor air [1]. I doubt this is true in busy metropolitan areas, but the point is that indoor air matters. If you're spending half of your time at home, why not get an air purifier and run it when you sleep?

All of the things I listed are small steps you can take to manage your long-term exposure. Even if it's only by a few percent, the cost of getting an air or water purifier is relatively lower. Like I said, we'd need top-down legislation changes to really reduce the presence of microplastics everywhere.

It seems like you agree that this is a problem, so what are you proposing we do?

I find such choices extremely stressful and annoying. If someone is not stressed out by it, that just means they don’t appreciate the impact it will have in terms of who has access to what data about you. (The chances of most folks ever revisiting this decision or even realizing they can are near zero.)
This.

It's nice that companies try different approaches. This way we have a choice and it's not just all the same at a certain company size.
But to your point - that is how I feel about graph nns vs transformers or the fully connected set (GPUs are so good at transformers and fully connected nns, even if there is a structure that makes sense we don't have the hardware to have it make sense.... Unless grok makes it cheap??)
They're likely referring to using the large language models (GPT, Claude, etc.) through their primary interfaces, because you get more control by interacting with the LLM directly.

If someone legitimately discovers something better how long do you wait - killing people in the process - to ensure it really is better? Mostly we assume researchers are honest (which is probably true).
This encapsulates a hunch I've had lately: that you could probably tell a lot about a potential hire if you could read their emails and slack messages.

The best co-workers are good at communicating without being annoying or a jerk, they have a good sense of what the important issues are, and they don't let ego or trivial concerns get in the way of solving problems.
Yeah, not open source.
You can go back in history and apply that logic to any company and claim they weren't monopolies as a result. Standard oil and AT&T had plenty of competitors, none were able to grow beyond extremely small scale.
I agree you won't get a total dud of a battery if you can swap it, but why would I exchange my brand new battery for one that could potentially have hundreds of thousands of miles on it and therefore the range isn't nearly as good? It basically sets the guaranteed battery you receive as the lowest that Nio considers 'acceptable'.

> One crucial question he studied: Should you give patients a beta blocker, which lowers blood pressure, before certain heart surgeries? Poldermans’s research said yes. European medical guidelines (and to a lesser extent US guidelines) recommended it accordingly.

What the guy did was clearly wrong but it’s a slightly tenuous causal chain between that and 800,000 deaths. Questions may be asked, for example, about whether the medical guidelines should have been based on studies that seemingly had a single point of failure (this one corrupt guy).

There’s an extremely toxic (and ironically very anti-scientific) culture of “study says it so it’s true” that permeates medical and scientific fields and the reporting thereof. Caveats and weaknesses in the primary research get ignored in favor of abstracts and headlines, with each layer of indirection discarding more of the nuance and adding more weight of certainty to a result that should in truth remain tentative.

Prosecuting one type of bad actor might not make a lot of difference and might distract from the much larger systemic issues facing our current model of scientific enquiry.

Change Data Capture (CDC) Tools should be database specialized not generalized
Reference: https://x.com/saisrirampur/status/1824694191537959159 Parent Tweet: https://x.com/craigkerstiens/status/1824114371737616794

Change Data Capture(CDC) is hard, it has 100s of edge cases / failure points. At PeerDB (https://www.peerdb.io/) , instead of focusing on multiple sources we just focused on Postgres. This helped us ensure that we gave enough care to iron out as many edge cases as possible. We were also able to implement a bunch of Postgres native performance and reliability optimizations. Our engineering blog https://blog.peerdb.io/ more on the optimizations and how we ironed out edge cases.

Pipeline failures have been rare these days, and so far none of the source databases were affected due to load. Also, most of our customers are in the shorter tail, i.e., data sizes over 300-400GB to 15-20TB. This helped battle test the product and make seamless for the long tail.

However, I don’t think CDC is a solved problem, as Postgres is full of mysteries and it keeps evolving. We need to continue polishing the experience and evolve along with Postgres!

TL;DR specialized CDC tools that focus on a single (or limited) database are reliable ways to provide a solid CDC experience.
Not doing so is morally not the best thing. To say it is "morally evil" is to say that morality is some binary. "Evil" isn't a term I would throw around so easily.
It might as well be! Code and configuration don’t have a practical difference in their potential impact on running systems; both are equally capable of causing security breaches or outages.
On further consideration, I think it's reasonable to remind people that free diving doesn't involve oxygen tanks, as the article had mainly been talking about only about the difficulty of dealing with pressure up to that point. It's a weird sentence, but makes more sense when read like "... and on top of being crushed by the water pressure, they don't have oxygen tanks either".
Nice job! This is something I would use. However, the pricing plans are not friendly for occasional users. I maybe use it 10 times a year, but the only option is a monthly subscription. I wish they also had pay-per-use plans.

This illustrates the annoying trend for software products to insist on monthly subscriptions. I understand that businesses want recurring revenue, but many users would rather pay upfront or per use.

> hat's what the vdso version of clock_gettime does. If you use one of the *_COARSE clocks it will only update periodically and be much faster, but that means like 15 milliseconds of log messages will all have the same timestamp.

Not sure it matters a lot of to have multiple messages with the same timestamp, since they were added in order you still know which one is older, the problem might arise when you send those logs to a remote place and the order of insert is discarded and the timestamp is used instead.

I assume that when you use a single thread with a queue / ring buffer the order of insertion is kept.
One solution would be bonding. If you publish a scientific result, put up some money with a bonding firm, perhaps for a specified period of time.

> When taking the geometric mean of those nearly 400 raw benchmark results, it sums up the greatness of Zen 5 with the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X processors. The Ryzen 7 9700X delivered 1.195x the performance of the Core i5 14600K competition or 1.15x the performance of the prior generation Ryzen 7 7700X. The Ryzen 5 9600X came in at 1.35x the performance of the Core i5 14500 and 1.25x the performance of the Ryzen 5 7600X. Or if still on Zen 3 for comparison, the Ryzen 5 9600X was 1.82x the performance of the Ryzen 5 5600X.

On average across the nearly 400 benchmarks the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X were consuming 73 Watts on average and a peak of 101~103 Watts. The Ryzen 5 7600X meanwhile had a 92 Watt average and a 149 Watt peak while the Ryzen 7 7700X had a 99 Watt average and 140 Watt peak.

I don’t think it rules out free will, but perhaps free will is more limited. There is a self reflective part of your mind, probably physically located in your frontal lobe, but there are also many other parts of your mind and brain that do important things, but aren’t self reflective. I’ve come to think of my brain as a committee. There are many things I can do, like walk or even do a mathematical proof, that I cannot really describe the process. We see in things like addiction that the self reflective mind also does not always (or maybe even often) have ultimate control over behavior. Kahenaman and Gallwey talk about this as System 1/2 and Self 1/2. Julian Jaynes even thinks that people used to have complete other simulated people inside of themselves that they called gods, and this still happens to people with Schizophrenia.
