Last I checked Automattic is a privately held for profit company. One could argue that it’s a private equity too. Just using different words to twist a narrative.
This is silly. Humans will also get fewer right answers if you make the question more complex (requiring additional steps), or if you add irrelevant information as a distraction (since on tests, there's usually an assumption that all information given is relevant). As for changing names and numbers, the large effects they saw were all on small (<10B param) open source models; the effects on o1 were tiny and barely distinguishable from noise.

I'd rather see effort go into improving LaTeX performance instead of creating some new incompatible thing in a trendy language. One could also imagine an Elixer-style "resyntaxing" of LaTeX that would preserve compatibility with decades of packages. I don't think a long-developed ecosystem should be given up lightly.
Gosh I wish someone would pay me handsomely for coming up with such stupidly obvious "research" results as "a computer program that uses statistics to pick the next word in a sequence doesn't reason like a person".

There are a lot of things that Linux does better, hardware support, tooling ( for devs ) even the things that used to be good on BSD are more modern on Linux namely firewall, security, containers / virtualization etc ...

Even ebpf is superior to dtrace.

It's not even a fair comparison because the world runs on linux, all the tech company heavily use Linux so there a vast amount of money poured into it.

As for ZFS I've been using it on Ubuntu on my NAS which is 10 years old with 0 issues, never had a single issue.
It's scarily similar to Japanese in a lot of ways. Both are agglutinative languages.

I don't see how any government, regardless of location, that spends large sums of taxpayer money on a construction project could ever be considered to be "right wing" in any way, let alone "far-right".

Such behaviour fundamentally contradicts even the mildest of right-of-centre ideologies.

An actual right-of-centre government would never even consider starting such a project.

If a right-of-centre government happened to inherit one that had been started by a previous administration, for example, such a project would be immediately terminated, any assets liquidated, and the proceeds directly returned to the taxpayers.

The only way that such a project would ever exist under a right-of-centre government would be if it were initiated, funded, built, operated, and maintained solely by the private sector, without any government involvement at all.

Practices such as the collection of taxes, raising public debt, and government built/run infrastructure are part of left-of-centre ideologies, and certainly not right-of-centre in any way.

To take the time to study the root causes of obesity more closely, and treat the genuine causes, instead of slapping medicine on top of it, for an undetermined period of time to millions of people. It's insane.

Obesity at that scale is a recent issue[0], I'm sure we're clever enough to figure it out.

Think about it: as far as we know, the human body has evolved slowly over many thousands of years; how can drafty-patching it at scale over a few decades works? When something as inconspicuous as switching from stale bread to softer bread has had a drastic impact on dental issues[1]?

It's like a junior dev undertaking a major rewrite on his first day of work.

I'm reluctant to argue much further, I doubt it'll change much for either of us.

The cost of carbon capture is not equal to the value it provides to humanity. In fact, not emitting CO2 that you could have, is even more valuable than CO2 you remove later from the atmosphere.
I can see those, but I don't imagine there's even a fair chance of them happening.

In my mind, shortly after the WordCamp US things should have leveled out. Someone should have pulled Matt aside and said, "OK, you vented. Pissed all over The Community who showed up, but you vented. Let's get this back on the rails..."

It's possible that was said. But Matt's listening skills aren't good and lately have gotten worse. To me, the long this stays off the rails the less likely it is to get back on the rails.

Someday this is going to be an HBR case study on how not to ensure your legacy. There should also be an HBR case study for Gutenberg, "How not to roll out a product."

Interesting. I would have thought that the training set (basically the whole internet AIUI) would have included various "teacher's version" exams with enough word problems with intentionally-distracting extra information, that the models would be able to ignore that sort of thing.

This sounds like they're inspecting existing models. Maybe a model trained specifically on "word problem" question-answer pairs (as in, the sort of things that show up on tests and always pretend that the sort of complications a domain expert would know about just don't exist) would do better?
Cool. Let me know if you figure out a solution.

Otherwise, perhaps let people get healthy instead of admonishing them to get healthy the way you think they should, which turns out to be… the same way they have always tried and has not worked.
They tested o1-preview but the results hidden away in the Appendix, probably because o1-preview's "drops" for 4 out of 5 of the new benchmarks are all within the margin of error.
i.e 94.9 on the full GSM8K and 93.6, 92.7, 95.4, 94 and 77.4 on the modified benchmarks.

The study proves nothing of the sort. Even the results of 4o are enough to give pause to this conclusion.
I see no issue with this org being nominated. Their advocacy seems to be right and useful. Good for them. On the other hand, reading the declaration, it's pretty clear that this nomination does not exist to celebrate good news. That is the sad part.

>Nobody is forcing you to eat those.

No, but social conditioning normalises it and those in the lower socioeconomic areas of living buy the cheapest rather than most nutritional food and are way less likely to read informative articles or posts about healthy eating. It really is heavily influenced by a lack of supply of healthy affordable food.

The 25k will be on the same chasis and drivetrain as the robo taxi. He couldn't get all the execs to move to mexico to build it, so he agreed to do the robo taxi first in texas, then when they build the mexico giga factory they will build the 25k there. So, one year for cybertaxi line, and a year and a half for mexico factory. Will probably start rolling off the mexico factory in late 2027
Receiving output from a process, as is done for example by shell mode and (I guess, but have not verified) compilation mode, is slow in Emacs because all output is run through comint-carriage-motion and ansi-color-filter-region (which does nothing but throw color information away IIRC) which are written in Elisp.

If you don't run the output through those 2 functions, then non-printing characters remain in the output that severely undermine legibility.

C programmers tend to develop the ability to glean information from the voluminous output of build processes as it goes whizzing by on a terminal, so they find compilation mode frustratingly slow. Or at least that is my guess as to what happens.

I work in Payments.

This must be related to their new product - Fastlane.

Fastlane is an express checkout product, similar to ShopPay. Even if you have never used a website, you authenticate with OTP and all your information (Address & Payment Methods) is available.

Originally, merchants could not use this data to make customer accounts. This was not ideal for us merchants as there was no method to login to track your order information.

PayPal came to me this week saying they were updating their legal agreement to allow merchants to create customer accounts.

(Express checkout options will soon be everywhere - Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, Zelle/Paze are all competing in this space now)
No it just means they now keep the data only as long as they are required to by law.
It’s not like there’s a line around the corner for launch licenses. The fee should be $0 and it should take two weeks tops. Taxes fund the FAA not application fees.

They hid away the results of o1 preview in the Appendix but it does not drop below margin of error numbers on 4/5 of their modified benchmarks. The last one they add "seemingly relevant but ultimately irrelevant information to problems" and it drops to 77%. Now I'm willing to bet this is within human baselines but either way, researchers really need to start including human baselines in these kinds of papers.
AlphaProof was able to get a silver IMO medal by writing formally verified proofs of novel mathematical problems:

Military spending is a bit of an odd one. It's basically expensive by design and ideally doesn't have any real effect.

> The same word applies to roads that do not pay for themselves through gas tax and/or tolls.

It’s very weird how people talk about roads as a sort of universal public good whose construction and maintenance needs to be financed by local authorities and taxation. Yet rail is expected to not just stand on its own two feet but to yield a profit. Both facilitate commerce and improve a regions productivity (rail inarguably does so with greater efficiency, especially when integrated into a public transport system) - why is rail treated so differently?

Zendesk could refuse to allow "ticket collaboration" if customers had a missing or insufficiently secure SPF/DMARC configuration, or at least make customers check a box that says "Tickets may leak their contents to anyone who can send emails".
One could ask if responsiveness is relevant for documents.

You could simply use a static layout for your html, and then add borders or zoom (just like in a pdf viewer).

Then you'd have the editability, accessibility and performance of html, with the same responsiveness as a pdf (none).

I've never really given this much thought, but html could reallly become the standard file format for documents.
I think it was indefinite before...
Do you have proof there have been more car accidents since phones entered the driving arena compared to the before times? I always hear people claiming the roads are more dangerous but I’ve not seen any more accidents than when I was younger. Just a quick perusal on the web shows fatalities per 1 million miles has dropped significantly since the 1990s
> In terms of actual $/perf, Ampere 192 core is 1.7x better than Turin Dense 196 core based on Phoronix's review.

You're comparing it to the highest MSRP Turin, which doesn't have the highest performance/$. People buy that one if they want to maximize density or performance/watt, where it bests Ampere. If you only care about performance/$ you would look at the lower core count Zen5 (rather than Zen5c) models which have twice the performance/$ of the 192-core 9965.

Doing the same for Ampere doesn't work because their 192-core 3.2GHz model is very nearly already their peak performance/$.

> There's no reason to suggest that it works less on food than on heroin.

And nobody said it did. But the thought that obese people haven’t considered therapy is absurd. Most of them do so for depression, not the obesity, but they are usually related.

The people who GLP-1 drugs help have not “never tried anything,” including but not limited to “real therapy.”

If CBT and other modalities help someone, great! But they often don’t, and when they don’t, it’s absurd to want them to continue to suffer instead of get help with medication.
Thanks for your feedback! I just wanted to clarify that I'm not your average 15-year-old. I've been actively involved in security testing, malware analysis, and have even been in trouble after hacking into my school's system when I was 14—so I understand the weight of security and the challenges involved.

That said, I definitely respect the complexity of the field and the importance of experience. I’m still learning every day and appreciate the insights from more seasoned professionals. While I may have had some early experiences, I realize there’s always more to learn, especially when it comes to ensuring my systems are truly secure and ready for the real world.

I’ll be taking the feedback seriously and continuing to build on my knowledge. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
Well you'll usally have 563€/month as a single or 506€/month if living with a partner. State pays health insurance and rent (up to a certain limit in size of the flat). In most cities it's further subsidized (25-29€ for the 49€ ticket).

If that's enough depends a lot where you live, if you have family or not and your livestyle.

You have to pay your energy bills (40-70€/month) and internet / cell-phone (40-50€/month) for yourself.

If you are a healthy single it's perfectly fine if you life a simple life. But you can't really put aside any savings.
We were having the same discussion 5-10 years ago about Metformin. Just saying
"will not be returned"

Doesn't sound like a retention policy.
Roads, highways and gas are massively subsidized, much more per kilometer travelled than rail. I think if you factor in spared road maintenance alone, from travellers using the train instead of their cars, you might see the operation is actually saving public money.
> was one of the most evil men

> If anyone's corpse deserves a pissing on, it would be his.

That's a strong statement. I mean he was obviously very cruel and greedy but I don't see how he was particularly exceptional in that way compared to thousands of other historical figures (we can call all of them one of the most evil men in history but that just makes the term meaningless..).

Even in the same ~50 year timeframe his direct "achievements" pale to compared to those of Cortés, Pizzaro.
There's a reason mutually-assured destruction is abbreviated MAD.
ChatGPT got hundreds of millions of users with no advertising, and unlike (say) Google+, OpenAI didn't have a pre-existing userbase to push new products on. So there's clearly some demand.

You can have both asynchrony and sequence by encoding thread ID in the UUID too, and make the sequence a thread local state.
I take your point but the reality is millions use it daily. Also where it is better more use it. Which is the important point lost to many.
It's a shame what he did. Why do you seem to think it's such a shame that somebody wrote about those historical facts? You don't like history? What's a shame is that you want to rewrite it.
>>> since on tests, there's usually an assumption that all information given is relevant

Maybe on grade-school tests, but the professional certification exams I've taken have questions about scenarios where part of the challenge is recognizing which parts of the scenario description aren't relevant. The one I had an in-person class for, the instructor specifically called this out and advised reading the questions first so we'd know which parts of the scenario we didn't have to think about while reading it.

Quite frankly this is an incredibly absurd statement. Do you realize that our brains entirely control our behavior? An issue with self control is a brain issue, and very well may be an endocrine issue. Are you an endocrinologist?

It's possible to do this with one GPU. The downside is that you have to shut down the VM in order to get back to your Linux desktop.
I’ve worked in media and digital advertising and, on multiple occasions, actually implemented ads on sites.
The proper way to do it is to A/B test different ad SDK configurations (refresh rate, delay to initialization, etc) and measure the impact on various user engagement metrics (time on page, session duration, etc).

These metrics can sort of tell you how people are reacting to the ads, though it isn’t perfect obviously. At the very least, it will let you know how violently people are reacting to the ad experience, which is also a good indicator for how it will impact SEO.

Or course there’s an inverse relationship between ad revenue and user experience: with a very light ad experience you basically make nothing, with a very heavy experience you will make a lot in the short term but in the long term you will lose users, traffic, and ultimately money. If you do things right, you can strike a balance at least.

I’ve also managed websites that hired some outside firm who worked on a revshare basis to come in and load ads on the site, and they didn’t do this kind of testing, and though initial revenue was high their traffic ultimately tanked in a matter of months.

A big problem I’ve seen is you find a nice balance between revenue and UX and then that becomes the new baseline/control that future people start testing against. So slowly over time it’s a death by a thousand cuts.

Turns out a lot of business people are bad at business. It’s hard to even explain how these metrics work to less technical people and it takes a special company to just trust the engineers and turn down the short-term revenue.
>The site in Grand Traverse Bay is best described as a long line of stones which is over a mile in length.... Dr. John O’Shea from University of Michigan has been working on a broadly similar structure over in Lake Huron... [He] thinks that it may be a prehistoric drive line for herding caribou.... It is highly possible that the site in Grand Traverse Bay may have served a similar function to the one found in Lake Huron.

So not like Stonehenge but seems interesting to me.

"Create an Apple account with support@company.com email"

Wait - how is that workflow possible and supported?

In my head, authorization under @company.com would be delegated to a central directory, instead of relying on Apple ID. It is effectively an authentication bypass.
You can do it too, just take a PhD in any field.
I wonder how the backlight works in total darkness. My use case would be to read or take notes in bed without having to turn the lights on.
My view is on why that is the assumption is because anthropology seems to put a lot of pressure on higher level tasks only being achievable through some mass of individuals. The idea is that ancient people had a struggle to survive and deal with daily tasks, so they must not have had enough time to pursue advanced topics or even care to focus on them.
> The key difference between print systems and web tech is responsiveness.

True, but... we were very good at building unresponsive websites in the early 2000s. Can't we just return to tradition and disable a lot of the responsive behaviour that we've layered onto HTML with an off-the-shelf stylesheet? Hardcode some width properties, ya know? (This is not a rhetorical question, genuinely curious).
