I really like Penrose's new theory that the singularity is a torus within a bubble of normal space inside the event horizon. The point-like singularity predicted by GR seems obviously implausible, it makes more sense for it to be smeared throughout some volume of space. If I understand correctly, he proposes that the singularity is a compact object rotating about the center so fast that it's more or less a solid torus.

Intuitively, it also makes sense that space within a black hole could be more or less normal. Or at least have a consistent curvature that approximates normal space.

Conversely, I find the notion of space-time equivalence as illustrated by Penrose diagrams to be quite unconvincing. All we really have is high order approximations of how GR might behave in extreme conditions. I believe that if it ever becomes testable, we'll see some kind of limit to how far space can translate to time. Or that time is more complex than we think.

No one really knows for sure, but it's a lot of fun to speculate about!

Because their prophet was murdered by the state. It seems weird that a religion would be pro-execution when their founding was, in part, "innocent man was executed".

I'm sure believers have jumped through the hoops required to justify it but from the outside, one would expect a country that is majority christian to oppose executions.

Image models such as Llama 3.2 11B and 90B (and the Claude 3 series, and Microsoft Phi-3.5-vision-instruct, and PaliGemma, and GPT-4o) don't run OCR as a separate step. Everything they do is from that raw vision model.
Agreed, but in practice, I think needing to wait for sprint planning is very time-wasting and in practice not efficient. If a dev has worked 3 days in the wrong direction, they will naturally try to salvage some of the bad things, or even try to pretend that their solution is "the only way". It can be negotiated, with more or less success, but the negotiation itself is a waste of time if it could have been caught earlier.

100% agree with planning the meeting to avoid flow interruption. It's strange to see so many people here saying that you can just "ask whenever" when the argument about avoiding interruption is brought so often.

>Be careful, this is hearsay and not evidence.

I think you are out of your element. To my understanding hearsay refers to a claim made by someone not in court. In this case the girlfriend and jailmate were called as witnesses and gave testimony in court.

Witnesses are evidence and they are one of the oldest forms of evidence, your view that evidence is only material is a gross misunderstanding of trial procedures.
It pains me to read this because the scrum meetings at my last companies were fluid enough that you could say anything.

So if I worked on a problem which turned out to be more complicated than originally estimated, I would just list out all these sub-problems and so people would realize that I did a lot.

The company I work for now does scrum very differently. During the scrum planning meetings, we must break down all tasks so that they are less than 8 hours. So this means that every day, you MUST be able to point to at least one completed task every day. If new complexity was uncovered (which of course is always the case due to technical bloat which occurs when developers are always pressured like this), then you need to take it upon yourself to cut all the corners necessary to get your minimum of one daily task done. That is unpleasant and unproductive. Though I guess it helps existing devs build a moat of complexity around themselves so that, over time, the work becomes predictable for you but not for others who are less familiar with existing code/constraints.

"Meta aims to use the models in its platforms, as well as on its Ray-Ban smart glasses, according to a report from Axios."

I suppose that means that Ray Ban smart glasses surveil the environment and upload the victim's identities to Meta, presumably for further training of models. Good that the EU protects us from such schemes.

Apart from network latency, one of the behaviours I've seen with Redis is that reads/write latencies are fairly linearly proportional to the amount of keys queried - which seems to be shown in your chart as well.

We had a different problem, where our monolithic app used both Postgres / Redis for different use cases and worked relatively well. However - it was a lot easier to shove new functionality in the shared Redis cluster. Because Redis is single-threaded, one inconsiderate feature that does bulk reads (100K+ keys) may start to slow down other things. One of the guidelines I proposed was that Redis is really good when we're reading/writing a key, or small fixed-cardinality set of keys at a time, because we have a lot of random things using Redis (things like locks and rate limits on popular endpoints, etc).

However, in your case, I'm guessing Redis shines in the case of a naive single-key (IP address) lookup, but also doesn't do well with more complicated reads (representing your range query representation?). Cool write up overall, I don't have a deeper understanding of how SQLite performs so well when compared to a local Redis instance, so that was unexpected and interesting to observe.

Easy: doing something that humans don't already do and program it to do.

AI is incapable of any innovation. It accelerates human innovation, just like any other piece of software, but that's it. AI makes protein folding more efficient, but it can't ever come up with the concept of protein folding on its own. It's just software.

You simply cannot have general intelligence without self-driven innovation. Not improvement, innovation.

But if we look at much more simple concepts, 2029 is only 5 years (not even) away, so I'm pretty confident that anything that it cannot do right now it won't be able to do in 2029 either.

Interesting question! I would guess that electrical signals to contract muscles occur IFF the muscles exert some force, regardless of whether the muscles are actually able to overcome other forces and physically contract. So I would guess that it would work as if no one was holding my hand.

Llama 3.2 vision models don't seem that great if they have to compare them to Claude 3 Haiku or GPT4o-mini. For an open alternative I would use Qwen-2-72B model, it's smaller than the 90B and seems to perform quite better. Also Qwen2-VL-7B as an alternative to Llama-3.2-11B, smaller, better in visual benchmarks and also Apache 2.0.

Molmo models: https://huggingface.co/collections/allenai/molmo-66f379e6fe3..., also seem to perform better than Llama-3.2 models while being smaller and Apache 2.0.
lol. These glasses aren’t “high fashion”. But it’s funny to see you look down your nose at people to try and convince them they are.
I’ve spent several evenings pondering the PIOs and whether I could adapt them to this project. I think there’s a reasonable chance that the answer is yes for the new RP2350. For the aforementioned 25 ksps per channel, I actually need something like a 25 MHz clock (64 channels at 16 bits). With the original 2040, I convinced myself it would be hard without overclocking. But with the new one quite possibly possible. Handling variable cable delays of 8-10 bits also requires buffering in a way that I couldn’t quite wrap my head around, but I bet someone could!

Or, again, they are just deciding the economy isn't worth the cost.
(or not worth prioritizing upfront or ....)

When we had numerous discussions on HN as these rules were implemented, this is precisely what the europeans said should happen.

So why does it now have to be some concerted effort to "put the screws to EU"?

I otherwise agree it will be interesting, but mostly in the sense that i watched people swear up and down this was just about protecting EU citizens and they were fine with none of these companies doing anything in the EU or not prioritizing the EU if they decided it wasn't worth the cost.

We'll see if that's true or not, i guess, or if they really wanted it to be "you have to do it, but on our terms" or whatever.
You conveniently leave out that same Wikipedia article on Microcode says: "The act of writing microcode is often referred to as microprogramming, and the microcode in a specific processor implementation is sometimes termed a microprogram."
Lead exposure is probably masking the data. Just a guess, the science I've seen, not presented in the article, is effects way above the standard and typical use.

The judge basically telling them to better document where they assessed fluoridation, which makes sense cause they started fluoridation before the EPA even existed and it's likely been grandfathered in.

It's a conspiracy theory that needs to be properly disabused. Europe has plenty of low IQ people, just look at the rise of far right and brexit, so anecdotes are useless.

They are as small as the technology can be made today. Meta knows that they are still too big. Zuckerberg said on stage that they will attempt to miniaturize them further and this is not a consumer product today.

Making them as small as they are is an incredible feat actually. They are better than Hololens in every respect and Hololens is absolutely massive in comparison. There are at least 5 cameras, two HD projectors, an IMU, microphones and speakers in this thing plus the chips and batteries to run them all continuously for two hours.
If anything, high fashion is extremely goofy. Have you seen the stuff those people wear?

1-3 are nice if you can guarantee your data is reasonably sized, but if it gets too big for your hardware taking copies of large datasets and then doing updates on large datasets can add a lot of overhead.

How bad of a sign is it that so many people have left over the last 12 months? Can anyone speak to how different things are?
Personally, I’m not convinced that there is an “inside”. From the outside there doesn’t appear to be one — you never see anything cross the horizon, including the substance that originally formed the black hole! Conversely, observers see the black hole evaporating from just above the surface, with all infalling matter recovered in this way. World lines approach the horizon, hug it closely, then leave. They don’t fall “in”.

In my mind scientists filled in a blank with their imaginations, but the blank they are filling in may not even exist as a location. It’s like complex (imaginary) numbers, you can talk meaningfully about solutions to equations: but ordinary +, -, *, / arithmetic “can’t get you there”. A black hole could be like a pinhole stretched out into a larger hole in a stretchy sheet of fabric. From the point of view of an ant walking on the surface the hole is a boundary that can be approached, but not entered, and around it the fabric is highly distorted.

There have been some good papers published recently on related topics. For example, Penrose diagrams as typically drawn use a simplification that black holes extend forever forward and backward in time. This allows infinitesimals to add up over infinity, which is a non-physical sleight of hand. Real black holes form over time, and worldlines don’t enter them — they just approach the horizon and then “boil off” in the distant future due to Hawking radiation.

There is this obsession in modern physics of clinging to overly simplified models and then treating the edges of their capabilities as real things to discover instead of modelling failures to get past with better models.

You can’t climb the mountain range represented by the fold crease in your map.
> Between this and Apple's policies, big tech corporations really seem to be putting the screws to the EU as much as they can.

Funny, I see that the other way around, actually. The EU is forcing Big Tech to be transparent and not exploit their users. It's the companies that must choose to comply, or take their business elsewhere. Let's not forget that Apple users in the EU can use 3rd-party stores, and it was EU regulations that forced Apple to switch to USB-C. All of these are a win for consumers.

The reason Meta is not making their models available in the EU is because they can't or won't comply with the recent AI regulations. This only means that the law is working as intended.

> it will be educational to see how this develops over the next 5-10 years of tech progress, as the EU gets excluded from more and more things.

I don't think we're missing much that Big Tech has to offer, and we'll probably be better off for it. I'm actually in favor of even stricter regulations, particularly around AI, but what was recently enacted is a good start.
It seems strong enough to keep someone in jail, potentially forever.

> those are some chunky looking glasses that I do not imagine anyone wants on their face

You realize this is a prototype and not available for sale to the general public... right?
Obviously, I don't say "nothing to report" in every meeting.

The reality is that sometimes you need to readjust, and sometimes not, and it is impossible to know before hand and confronting your forecast with the observations.

And, from my experience, devs over-estimate greatly how much non-devs care about them and their "number of line of code written" pissing contest
Do you have some concrete example of biases in their models? Or are you just fishing for something to complain about?
Content is absolutely the best word for most of the shit they are shoveling. I would never use this term to describe a musician or author though I admit it isn't possible to objectively prove the difference and I wouldn't be surprised if younger people can't tell at all.
Ghosts as a phenomenon aren't really falsifiable, so there's not much point trying to make unequivocal scientific statements about them, if they exist. If there's something we can measure or some phenomenon that multiple people could elicit reliably then it would be an answerable question. But they're supernatural precisely because there is nothing to study scientifically. It's just some qualia that people interpret to be ghosts.
> in Brazil, they use Telegram instead

Telegram is a proprietary protocol, run by servers controlled by private entity. That is a complete anathema Debian. If IRC is replaced, it will be by open source, open access, probably running on hardware controlled by Debian, and done in a completely transparent way.

That takes a lot of effort to get going. Nonetheless, experimental servers have been set up, and everyone invited to use them. The Debian developers voted with their feet. They kept them firmly in place, on IRC.

To be fair, IRC works. Email works. Young entrepreneurs, jailing of CEO's by the French Police, and skilful marketing will attract the young to newer platforms, and so current flavours of the month you mentioned - they will become the IRC's of the next generation. When looked at in that vein, the constant churn to the new shiny platform looks like a very uninviting hamster wheel to the existing Debian Developers who just want to get shit done.

And as it happens, the youngsters seem to have no trouble adapting themselves all sorts of new software they haven't seen before - like IRC. Compared to the effort they must go to become a Debian Developer (you have to pass an exam of sorts, and there are a lot of new Debian specific tools you have to use), using IRC is a very, very small road bump.
