>why do people feel the need to create new hardware for AI things?

Because people have agency and hobbies, and they're free to decide what to spend their money and time on.

I can see something like this being used in various inspection scenarios. Instead of an inspectior having to fill out a template or fiddle with an ipad-thingie in tight situations they can talk to this, and a LLM converts it to structured data according to a template.

Stories like this are written about people successful in some way despite their circumstances. You don't get to read too often about many others who are not able to lead a good life and end up requiring more from the parents/carers than those are able to offer.

You'll hear about the mostly happy family, not about the local woman whose marriage didn't survive the effort, with a kid completely dependent on her, who decided that murder-suicide for both of them is a better outcome than the struggle and possibility of being left with local community care.
I use Llama 3.1 8B Instruct 128k at home and that pretty much covers all my LLM needs. Don't see a reason to pay for GPT-4.

Thanks - will look into this more deeply once I am ready to start integrating generation into my tool.

Do you have an API that can be called? Are you interested in reselling your technology through 3rd party tools?
While Nix/NixOS solved RPM dependency hell and side-by-side multiple concurrent version installation issues, it created its own problems.

The problem with Nix/NixOS is everything is too isolated to be configurable or usable, and so almost everything is broken because it doesn't work like any other OS. Chasing down all of the oddities and gotcha problems becomes a full-time IT job that slows everything else down, and then with a fragile special snowflake of patches and workarounds, it becomes very expensive and slow to do anything or to count on it being reliable. Furthermore, the syntax and nature of the packaging DSL is also too clever special snowflake that could've made do with declarative data or imperative procedural with something widespread like Python, Bourne shell, or JS to reduce the friction of customization and contribution.

Like Qubes, an over-optimization for particular goal(s) ends up becoming Achille's footguns because of a lack of compatibility and usability with everything else that came before.
Somebody really should come up with better names. I know for a fact I knew the difference once, but right now I cannot even remember what it was without clicking the link. Surely many people who heard about this problem (and that's a lot of people, it's about as pop-mathy as it gets) don't even suspect these aren't synonymous.
I am just reading about this whole Automattic vs WP Engine fight today, and I'm a little surprised that most people seem to think Automattic is the unambiguous bad guy. Automattic has still given away a huge amount of open-source software away over the years. WP Engine seems like it is entirely a mercenary operation. (Which there's nothing wrong with, per se. But it doesn't exactly warm the cockles of my heart.)

And paying people to leave if they don't agree with what the company is doing seems like a win-win.
The article here is about hardware without native FP already; that said, rationals (even before getting to the need of bigints) are quite bad regardless, likely requiring division & gcd around basic arith, which are slow both in software and in hardware.

Exactly the key for this treatment, indeed.

Sure, in many applications, such as congestion where you can't breathe, you'd need to break up the mucus and eliminate it, without snarfing it in. Your solution sounds wonderful for doing just that.

I happen to sport a full beard, and I'm rather pleased with zero coronavirus infections in five years, not to mention a low incidence of colds and influenzas. A beard represents a man's unique natural defenses against all enemies, foreign and domestic, of the respiratory and digestive systems. Oiling, cleaning, and combing the beard are integral parts of that defense.

But, simply Use As Directed, because as we've seen with talc, oxygen, and religion, if/when people misuse/overuse them, turns into cancer...

This is a pricing model, i.e. what is the value according to the assumptions the model does (which btw are known to be weak for BS) but as anything else the price is what you are going to pay in the market for whatever other reasons.

Imagine you have a model that establishes the price of used cars, it can be really really good but if you go to the market to buy one you will pay whatever is been asked for not what your model says.

EDIT: Although pricing models do not have direct affectation to market prices they do in an indirect manner. To manage risk are needed pricing models which somehow condition market participants and therefore prices indirectly. In the simile with cars, you can buy as many cars as you want at the price you want, but what you do when you have them and if you want to take wise decisions with them you have to know something about their value.

A subset of humans will see that prompt injection text and add 'me good LLM' to their replies simply because it amuses them, or they think it will amuse others.

Again, it's not a validated way to test.
I personally just really don't like magic links auth. It just feels brittle and if your email provider attempts to scan urls to see where they actually go you end up giving them an auth token and by the time the user clicks the link it's invalidated (or you don't invalidate the link at all which is worse).

If you have an issue with bots on your platform you're going to always have bot problems. It's trivial to abuse your auth to derank your standing too. I can force your app to send out bounced emails to hundreds and thousands of bad emails. Costing you $$ or rep in the email exchange. The second affects your ability to authenticate legitimate users too.

Wish magic links would just go away and be acknowledged as an anti-pattern.
For good reason. Brown bears eat people. You are no more than a slow meal to them. Coexistence means accepting that people will be eaten by bears or bears will be killed by people defending themselves. I think it is worth noting that native tribes prepared for war if the needed to kill a brown bear.
He knows as well as anyone about the 5 year hueristic (length too long to be meaningful), so he's trying to say "over 5 years", but still hold onto the sense of "meaningful estimate". My sense about Sam is that he trusts his PR instinct to be usefully manipulative enough that he doesn't think he has to plan it carefully in order for his statements to be maximally opaquely manipulative. (He speaks cleverly and manipulatively without a lot of effort.)
It wasn’t tried at scale is what’s being argued. Maos china was not really communist even though they called themselves the communist party. Maybe something like totalitarian state capitalists
I always found it interesting to read the initial announcement and follow up emails on the Cryptography Mailing List by Satoshi in 2009.

Hal Finney responds relatively quickly to Satoshi’s email, whilst the rest of the mailing list is embroiled in a hash algorithm discussion (TLS/MD5/SHA1/SHA256).

Finney goes into some detail suggesting to me that he already knew beforehand what Bitcoin was about and how it could work and change the world. Of course parts of Bitcoin were based on his RPOW paper as well as building on much of the developments in digital cash up to then.

Much of the feedback was negative (without it seems testing it) and based on the concept of digital cash in general and POW. Ironically it was also pointed out by another member that Bitcoin’s proof of work would require a lot of energy and have negative effects on the environment if successful. But most of the discussion and pro-side was promoted by both Finney and Satoshi. It almost seems “sock-puppet-esque”, or at a minimum Finney was already invested in the idea.

I used to think charting was bullshit for day and swing trading. Because on paper it sure seems to be, but in reality so many other players are also charting that it becomes useful and somewhat predictive. Largely because you’re all using the same signals. Sure it’s impossible difficult to time things perfectly, but perfect is the enemy of profit. You don’t need to catch the absolute bottom and you don’t need to catch the absolute top.

Specific to Black-Sholes the best option plays, when going long, are the ones which have incorrect assumptions about the volatility of the underlying. You can have far outta the money options, absolutely print, with a sufficient spike in the underlying. Even if the strike price will never be met (though you’ll also give that back if you ride them to expiration or let things settle down).
I think the grizzlies will take care of that on their own. Either some bears from the island will swim to the mainland, or vice versa.

Note: don't ask for a link on that. I just suspect animals prefer not to mate with their siblings.

The modern maybe-AI generated, definitely SEO optimized method of writing where they spend 5 paragraphs restating the same thing in different ways when it could have been said in two sentences is unbearable.

My experience with Notion keyboard use is different. It's not 100% VIM hands-on-keyboard mouse-free but it's getting there. If there was only a "insert after this block" shortcut.

My favorite is to type something then /turnh3 where /turn let's you turn the block into something else.
Indeed, hence the meme "stocks only go up". There's a grain of truth to the meme, though. The safest bet I can think of to make is that, on average, the S&P 500 will be higher in the future than today. Obviously there are temporary down trends but on a time horizon of years to decades I can't think of a safer bet.
Hell, define "Twitter" too. Does GP mean the company? The user community, whatever that is? Some core functionality of the site?
Psychedelics Reduce Anxiety Without Hallucinations
Ads were way too aggressive on iOS, pop up videos interfered with the use. I have a genuine interest in the topic but the ads just made my trust dissipate under a minute.
This seems to be yet another reckless and dishonest scam from yet another cohort of AI con artists. From starmoon.app:

> With a platform that supports real-time conversations safe for all ages...Our AI platform can analyse human-speech and emotion, and respond with empathy, offering supportive conversations and personalized learning assistance.

These claims are certainly false. It is not acceptable for AI hucksters to lie about their product in order to make a quick buck, regardless of how many nice words they say about emotional growth.

Do you have a single psychologist on your staff that signed off on any of this? Telling lies about commercial products will get you in trouble with regulators, and it truly seems like you deserve to get in trouble.
No. Just look at equations 6 and 7 in the link. The expected value of the move can be either positive or negative depending on the model parameters.
"In space, nobody can hear your fans" or something.
I just skimmed the article and didn't watch the video, but the bit about backpropagation is just wrong. Backpropagation doesn't compute an inverse of the jacobian, it computes its transpose. (although a similar idea to backpropagation could possibly be used to compute an inverse of several reversible layers, but that's not typically how neural networks work)
USB cameras are interfaced over USB 2.0 because USB 3.0 is extremely difficult to make work from an EMI perspective running through a laptop’s hinges and lid. USB 2.0 means heavy compression to get 1080p60, and on pretty mediocre ISPs in those low cost camera controllers.

MIPI is easier from an EMI perspective and lets you use a much better ISP on the processor.
There are several issues at play.

Price fixing is one of them but one that is very near term. The cost to end consumers is another, and they are separate though related.

What's concerning but more along the horizon (a few years out), is the price and cost of food in general, and the concentration of all business as a whole (of which people see the most negative affects on the surface where price fixing like this occurs).

What people don't see is what led to that concentration in the first place, it had to have a bias to get to where it is at now, that bias is a combination of regulatory and competitive advantage. Few think through more than a few steps ahead though to understand what that means and where its going.

Wages aren't going up, inflation drives everything forward (because we can't stop printing), and the bias towards concentration seems to be coming from the fact that corporations are allowed to have leverage ratios greater than one, or in other words they have received preferential loans and as a result are able to out-compete regular business. These companies are zombie companies, and the profits are acting as a sieve. The loans came from the FED/Primary Dealers (who run the FED), so in classic definition these would be called state-controlled apparatus since they are dependent on the loans for continued production and the loan to production value ratio is for the most part negative (showing absence of a market).

When all non-state-controlled producers leave the market, the market no longer exists, and you have non-market socialism; which we know fails... every time.
This happens when the store of value is no more, and currency is no longer considered a medium of exchange. Who decides this? The minority party that has something others need. You generally need supply before you can have demand.

This is very concerning, since ponzi's fail in the third stage where outflows exceed inflows, and we are coming up on that point (within 5 years) in terms of debt growth to GDP.

Producers decide by stopping production, being bought out and shutting down.

In the near term, we are looking at a wholesale conversion of almost every economy that is tied to the dollar to the same structure as non-market socialism. It fails generally starting with shortage, then sustaining as a result of 6 intractable problems. One being the mathematically chaotic economic calculation problem.

New currencies can't be adopted because there is no trust or credibility in the institutions that led the way to disaster and prevented course correction. This can be seen with China and the other BRICS nations where commodity prices (buffeted by options structured contracts and leverage), distort price.

Interesting times ahead.
Yep. Recompile all the things with different USE flags.
You're a creationist then?

Yes...

What?

I don't work in that field, but as a layman I'd wager the lack of clear technical understanding of what animal intelligence actually is, let alone how it works is the biggest limitation.

> Modern government ideas don’t seem to scale up well

When I needed to get my US passport renewed, there were no appointments available in my state for the next 2 months. I had to fly to another state. I would love to know which “modern government idea” is preventing them from scaling up the service to meet demand. No, this is simply a symptom of neglect and indifference.
Always a rabbit. Ducks bills are never that thick.
They have decades long experience with managing elephant populations - maybe they know what they are doing?
However the company stocks included in the S&P 500 aren't the same.
Nope. It's a launchpad not meant solely to follow blindly. The point is trial and error experimentation along the way. Can I switch the order of these packages or enable dependency X?

It also helps to have a fast x86_64 box with zillions of cores and plenty of RAM and SSD, and also a compiler cache like sccache to speed up rebuilds.
Generally these parameters are unknown and the drift parameter is often quite a bit smaller than the volatility. As a consequence, you cannot be sure your investment is secure and its value is likely to wobble significantly in the short term even if it ultimately produces value in the long term.

If you actually knew that the drift on a certain investment was positive, you still have to be prepared to survive the losses you might accumulate on the way to profit. The greater the volatility the more painful this process can be. If you can just sock away your investment and not look at it for a long time it will become more valuable. On a day-to-day time scale, as an actual human watching this risky bet you've made wobble back and forth, it can require a lot of fortitude to remain invested even as the value dips significantly.

Check my other replies for the brands. I don't think it matters as long as the quality is assured. I had known about probiotics for decades but never realized how fundamental they were to overall health. When I was going through this I just thought about my symptoms and took a hail Mary with this treatment. Bowel movements were extremely stressful at that stage. I was depriving myself of anything solid to alleviate the issues but overall I was not getting better. Previous to that I was doing fine, or so I thought. I never ate out, rarely ate meat or anything processed.

You will know when it's restored, you can even eat garbage (meat, processed foods) and your gut will process it and move on. You should be able to notice the subtle changes when you eat something that does not digest readily. It's not the acid and body mechanics, it's mostly the bacteria giving you life by breaking down nutrients and solids. Feed it what it needs and it will sustain itself. Raw and fermented vegetables.
the creators of Black-Scholes destroyed their options selling fund based on their flawed belief that everyone else had mispriced options, or the black swan possibility should have been part of the formula

also Black-Scholes doesnt factor in the liquidity of the underlying asset, in modern times I think this is relevant in determining the utility of an options contract

there are other options pricing formulas

Great article and very intuitive explanation.

I also wanted to point out a (minor) typo. On equation 3, dZt is multiplied by sigma squared, but it should be multiplied just by sigma instead.
I guess dense suburb.

I’m in the suburban core of Dallas Texas. The area that was originally developed in 1950s as suburbs. It’s very much considered “in town” now as the area has sprawled greatly since. But it’s still very neighborhood-like. Most of my trips are 10 minutes or less from my house of total drive time.

Before having a kid I never understood the busy parenting thing, but I’m actually finding myself want to be at all the things and it’s a huge social thing that nothing since college/high school compares too. Meeting new friends as an adult is actually very easy if you have kids and want to be involved in things.

For those who can’t see the tweet:

“Automattic has responsibly disclosed a vulnerability in ACF but breached the @Intigriti Code of Conduct by irresponsibly announcing it publicly. I am going to work my damned hardest to ensure that the fix gets shipped to dotorg if it affects the free version of ACF.”

The tweet author is @johnbillion who, among other things, is a member of the WordPress core team and lead of the WordPress core security team.

Context for the “I am going to work my damned hardest...”: WP Engine, who own ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) are currently blocked from the official plugin repo so, I would imagine, they would not be able to push the update on their own.
Renders nice in lynx too
It can be. When I’m exhausted, I take a trip and it involves lots of car rides and flights too.

Hobby time has suffered the most. My philosophy is spend as much time as possible with my kid while he actually wants to be around me. So that’s my hobby now. But I’m also a nocturnal person so I do hobbies from 9pm-3am. Helps that I have a low stress low demand job. I work about 30 hours a week and can do that any time I want. Some weeks I’ll do a 2 on / 5 off schedule. Or work a lot for a month then take the summer off. I realized that’s a luxury most people don’t have.

I do the bulk purchase thing too on lots of stuff but still it seems like there’s always a few places we need to go on any given weekend.

I suppose the straight answer is that he makes everything in his orbit about HIM and his cult of personality, he engaged in social media sh-t talk and on Twitter especially he's seemingly using it as a kind of personal chat board a lot of the time.

In my opinion when it comes to the Twitter it's impossible to separate the overall business from the man himself, it's about as far from something like SpaceX where he's just a name on some documents.
