Ok. I don't think we are talking about different things, and I still think you got it the other way around.

In fuzzy terms (because boolean logic gets crazy with those concepts):

We have success "S", with preconditions "P0, P1, ...", so that S = P0 & P1 & ...

We can map those concepts into their probability, where the probability of success would be "s = p0 * p1 * ...". AFAIK, your rule is that the best place to optimize is the lowest pN.

That would only be true if optimizing for any of those preconditions had similar costs and values. But on business, those things both tend to vary wildly, and the entire thing tends to get dominated by preconditions that you can't control (infinite costs) very quickly once you achieve a minimum of competence.

Also, the formalism doesn't accept changes on the definition of "success". You will get absolutely nowhere in life if you don't constantly change your definition of success, so the formalism is irredeemably wrong by construction.
I don’t know the situation with Boeing. But unions are sort of cancers of economy, which will grow and rotten healthy institutions. Their demands will grow indefinitely, as they become more and more powerful. At some point, there is no way back.

Look at their outcomes in France! The problems seem to be increasingly spreading to US.
I don't know what you find complex about Zellij, as I haven't used it extensively, but the few times I've used it, the UI was eminently self-describing, I managed to do everything I've needed to do within a minute of first launching it.

Is there more advanced stuff that's more complex that I just haven't seen?
As far as I know the only platform that really supports that is Tumblr, which lets you create as many secondary blogs as you wish with just one e-mail address (and Youtube if you count it). For every other platform users will be impeded by the fact they have to create a second e-mail to create a second account because they don't know how to use e-mail folders.

You can't even switch accounts on Reddit which means you need to use a browser that supports switching cookie jars somehow.

In summary, I'm willing to bet the average user just posts everything on a single account.

And even if they used separate accounts, that doesn't change the fact that the blocks/follows of their identities isn't private.
>>If autopilot is 10x safer then preventing its use would lead to more preventable deaths and injuries than allowing it.

And yet whenever there is a problem with any plane autopilot it's preemptively disabled fleet wide and pilots have to fly manually even though we absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt know that it's less safe.

If an automated system makes a wrong decision and it contributes to harm/death then it cannot be allowed on public roads full stop, no matter how many lives it saves otherwise.
If the question is: “was FSD activated at the time of the accident: yes/no”, they can legally claim no, for example if luckily the FSD disconnects half a second before a dangerous situation (eg: glare obstructing cameras), which may coincide exactly with the times of some accidents.

Ok I'm going to come out and say it because I think multiple people in this thread have hinted at the same confusion: What bloody kind of oil are we talking about here? Whale oil, that somehow was captured in the bones? Petroleum oil from the whale's encounter with the tanker? They basically buried the lede on this story and nowhere appear to explain why this particular whale is dripping some kind of "oil" that seemingly other museum example don't experience. So - anyone got any insight here?

That sounds like a legislative problem where you live, sure it can be fixed by overbearing technology but we already have all the tools we need to fix it, we are just choosing not to for some reason.
If the incumbent conservative party loses the presidency in a few weeks, the lack of meaningful right to repair regulation over the past two decades is most certainly one of the problems that has contributed to our society being so brittle, which will amplify the destructive effects of the populist reactionaries. Really the only way out of the current pickle is to fix the longstanding problems that the reactionaries are using to rally around while also keeping them away from power so they can't pull the self destruct levers.

This has always been my argument for legalisation (apart from a general feeling of "I am not hurting anyone else, so why do you get a say in this"). If you think it's harmless you're kidding yourself, but for most people, the associated harms of criminalisation far outweigh the harms of the drug itself.

> Non impaired people drive orders of magnitude better.

That raises the question - how many impaired driver-miles are being baked into the collision statistics for "median human" driver-miles? Shouldn't we demand non-impaired driving as the standard for automation, rather than "averaged with drunk / phone-fiddling /senile" driving? We don't give people N-mile allowances for drunk driving based on the size of the drunk driver population, after all.
I run a WireGuard server on my wireless router. The router itself is not tiny, the size of a two-inch-thick trade paperback. But the marginal size of the WireGuard device is zero, because i need the router anyway.
I think the idea that the human body and brain is somehow inherently immune to any effect from radio waves, with no such mechanism even proposed as to why this might even be the case, is just as much a belief in faith. This one of those questions where an experimental design to get to the ground truth is just impossible. Everyone on earth is exposed to radiowaves, so to establish a demographically matched control population to a radio wave laden case population is simply impossible, short of raising up a large sample size of humans in a lead lined vault deep under ground. And even then, you can’t control for every latent factor.

To me, this is an improvement. I don't care about the thing about preventing people from screenshot-ing tweets, since the barrier was so low it was happening often anyway. But, I've seen many cases of accounts being impersonated and used for scams, where the impersonated user only finds out after the damage has already been done. E.g. you sell commissions for something, impersonator makes an account, blocks you so you can't see him, then tricks potential customers into sending him money. You only piece things together weeks later when those customers start calling you out for running off with their money. Another variation involves someone commissioning something, then blocking when their order is ready as a way to harass the creator.

yeah the system is constantly calculating velocities and positions in 3d space. there's a traffic advisory portion where it tells the pilots to be aware of traffic nearby and there's a resolution advisory which tells the pilots exactly what to do and at what rate. commercial pilots practice that in the sim extensively. the faa made having ads-b out mandatory for all aircraft some time ago which helps the planes see each other so the commercial one knew exactly where the smaller plane was. (though you can shut the device off or it could be malfunctioning but it wasn't here)

I think this is probably wrong. The total society wide harms of legalization are higher than the total society wide harms of criminalization. The former harms are more diffuse but probably greater in sum.

Of course, criminalization isn't a binary. Probably, we could have just moved a little slower here.
This has been two of my last three jobs. I was fortunate to be able to save a list parser written in the worst possible language.
In many cases, yes. But I wouldn't say it's not valuable if you're in these few verticals they care a lot about (one of them is mining, as an example). They won't provide you the data directly, but they do have it and it's central to everything they do - from across the industry, large and small clients, at all stages of life, and they stayed with many of them through significant transitions. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars into custom internal tools to make the data and derived analysis accessible to consultants. Where you have theories, experiments and anecdotes, they have statistics. And nobody has better than they do.

Don't fall into thinking they just want to make some easy money and don't care about your situation. They most probably saw hundreds or thousands of clients like you, and know that unless you're a unicorn, the "standardized" approach will be better for you - they synthetized it from thousands of engagements to be as simple and as idiot proof as possible. And here I mean idiots on both sides - consultants as well as the client. If you were an unicorn, you wouldn't need to hire McKinsey. Remember, most of us aren't Gates/Jobs/... This is just like tech startups thinking they're an unicorn and spending an absurd amount of effort (and thus money - also opportunity cost) on reinventing the wheel and building for infinite scalability, instead of simply doing what works well for everybody else.

Not saying they don't want money, but their approach to making easy bucks is to add a zero to their quotes, not by not doing anything worthwhile. The quotes seem crazy to us mere mortals, but the clients are usually happy - what's a few million dollars when they helped you save tens or hundreds of millions. You don't care how simple was what they did - you probably tried many times yourself before hiring them, and if they made a stupid thing work, you're grateful.

Sometimes it's really stupid - like a consultant randomly noticing that the client buys protective earplugs from 20 different suppliers while drinking coffee in the common area of 5th branch they're visiting; acting on it and making a much better deal (money and services-wise) with just one or two suppliers globally, and similar kinds of random ad hoc but monetarily significant optimization. That's where the templates come in - if you hire McKinsey they just ask "how do you do X?" - and if you say '"well we don't have a global process for that, each location handles it themselves", their reaction is to implement a template process - and I think that's good. Yes, the branches will scream bloody murder, but the corporate doesn't care - it's not their business to create cultural centers for adults. Create a lifestyle business for yourself if you want that.

It seems a bit unlikely Musk is doing this to Twitter out of stupidity or ideology; I'm sure he has a good measure of both, but I doubt he has them in this quantity.

Could Elon's actual play here be:
1. Radicalize Twitter as the ideal platform for right-wing American voters
2. Use this asset this to gain political leverage during a key election cycle
3. Use this juice to advance some of his long-term objectives
But does a different prompt get the answer correct? I find it surprising. Can you share a link? I'm not saying this out of saltiness, I would be very grateful. If you don't want to I will try the shitty Google search, no problem.
Games absolutely yield, even if the rendering thread tries to go 100% you'll likely still be sleeping in the GPU driver as it waits for back buffers to free up.

Even for non-rendering systems those still usually run at game tick-rates since running those full-tilt can starve adjacent cores depending on false sharing, cache misses, bus bandwidth limits and the like.

I can't think of a single title I worked on that did what you describe, embedded stuff for sure but that's a whole different class that is likely not even running a kernel.

Sounds like an interesting read, even if it’s largely speculation. The hands vs wrists question is a perennial puzzler, compounded by the fact that nobody actually knows exactly how crucifixion was carried out in that part of the Roman Empire at the time. However I got an interesting perspective on it when getting to know my wife who, as an Austrian from the countryside has a particular regional way of speaking German. One aspect of her local dialect is that she will often use the word “foot” (Fuß) to refer to the whole leg. So it’s not that big a stretch to imagine one particular group of Aramaic, Hebrew or Greek speakers at the time would use the same word for hand and wrist. This time, I am the one who is speculating - apart from the fact that the Greek word used in John’s Gospel to refer to Jesus’ hands (when He shows Thomas the holes) is the same word that Luke also uses in Acts to describe where the chains fell off from Peter [0], and often translated as “wrists”.

It sounds like it’s whale oil because:

- it’s coming from the bone marrow

- it has a reddish tint

- the curator says the smell is reminiscent of a whaling ship and not, say, a machine shop or oil rig.
The new TOS also requires you to grant Twitter the right to use anything you post for AI training. They added an opt-out consent toggle for that not so long ago, but I guess they're still scrambling to sell all of the copper in the walls so they're already walking it back.
Part of the problem is that, currently, marijuana seems to be the only socially acceptable "treatment" for your mental health.

None of the people in this story were using marijuana for pleasure. They were using it heavily as a medical treatment.

This is just like lots of people who used alcohol and nicotine for exactly these same reasons for many, many years until those drugs became regarded as socially unacceptable.

A better solution is for us all to have genuine medical mental health treatment rather than a bunch of people all relying on ad hoc personal chemical experiments.
They have also Tailscale plug-in. You have to trust the company out of China or HK, though.

You'd need only 3 or 4 times for a very useful sample with basically the same applicability as 20.

If it's a low cost change, sure, you may not even question if it's doing anything. But if it's a major change in lifestyle, I would absolutely try to check if it's working. Even more because if it's only incidentally working, it could stop working at any time and leave you knowing nothing useful right at the point where you are both sick again and paying the cost of that lifestyle change.

Do that again and again and you are sure to destroy your life.
Because traffic can be very variable and there are always reckless drivers crashing their cars and blocking roads. And the geography in my area is such that once I’m on a route, I can’t really go another way without going all the way back.

Often I’ll prefer a slightly longer route over another, but if it’s much longer time wise because of bad traffic then I’ll go with my second choice. But navigation apps will almost always suggest the fastest way, even if it’s only an estimated minute faster.

Apple Maps will suggest multiple routes if they’re close in estimated time, but I’d like to weight some of them more heavily such that they might still be the preferred route even if it’s 10 minutes slower since it’s simply more pleasant safer.
Still no Prime95 release build for Apple silicon
It's a false dichotomy. Software engineering skills and workaholism are independent axes. There are people who work 80 hours a week and write poor code. There are amazing coders who go home by 5:00 on the dot and spend their evenings with their family.

If a product is successful, eventually the tech debt price will have to be paid, but that tech debt is just as often (more often, in my experience) generated by "rockstars" burning the midnight oil to ship a prototype than "bad coders".
We absolutely pinned on consoles, anywhere where you have fixed known hardware tuning for that specific hardware usually nets you some decent benefits.

From what I recall we mostly did it for predictability so that things that may go long wouldn't interrupt deadline sensitive things(audio, physics, etc).
Thank you for being blunt. Let me attempt to speak in the same earnest tone.

You are contradicting the papers and work that the people who make the models are saying. Alternatively, you are looking at the dataset curation process with rose tinted glasses.
>There is a tremendous amount of work that goes on by the LLM companies in verifying, sanitizing, and structuring the training corpuses, using a wide array of techniques.

Common crawl is instrumental in building our models, 60% of GPT's training data was Common Crawl. (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14165) pg 9.

CC in turn was never intended for LLM training, this misalignment in goals results in downstream issues like hate speech, NYT content, copyrighted content and more getting used to train models.

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/research/library/generativ...
(This article is to establish the issues with CC as a source of LLM training)

https://facctconference.org/static/papers24/facct24-148.pdf
(this details those issues.)

Firms, such as the NYT are now stopping common crawl from archiving their pages.

-----

TLDR: 'NYT' and other high quality content has largely been ingested by models. Reddit and other sources play a large part in training current models.

While I appreciate your being blunt, this also means not being sharp and incisive. Perhaps precision would be required here to clarify your point.

Finally -

>Factual accuracy is not binary, it is a matter of degrees. Obviously training on content that is more factually correct will result in more factually correct next tokens

What. Come on, I think you wouldnt agree with your own statement after reading it once more -Factual correctness is not a matter of degrees.

Furthermore, facts dont automatically create facts. Calcuation, processing, testing and verification create more facts. Just putting facts together creates content.
Agreed. I watched an a show on something I knew a lot about and was appalled out how much he missed the mark and/or had an agenda. I always liked his show and tended to agree with his take until then. Great rehtoric, Im just concerned that people might be eating his shit and forming "informed" opinions on things because Oliver's team "already did all the research."
