Cool idea. It's a bit like what happens in human brains when we develop expertise at something too: start with general purpose behaviors/thinking applied to new specialized task—but if that new specialized task is repeated/important enough you end up developing "specialized circuitry" for it: you can perform the task more efficiently, often without requiring conscious thought.
I'm hoping it's on it's own domain and I can block it with my PiHole
I don’t think the idea is clickbait at all. I deeply regret wasting my youth on my small portion of building out the Internet. What it became went well beyond the benefits you describe and might be the downfall of society as we know it in the end.

I won’t go into more detail other than that. The dream of 13 year old midwestern me playing chess with some random person in South Africa in the early 90’s died long ago for me. It was truly awe inspiring while the naivety lasted though!

I now operate on a harm reduction principle. I truly feel the internet as we know it causes more harm than good these days.
> From end to end, Route 66 spans 2,448 miles.

Great, but it's not contiguous. This stretch is about 70 miles long and merges back into I-40 at either end, and is the part of it we are talking about. What I said is accurate.

> The whole farm community in Cadiz would like to know they don't exist.

The farm in the middle of the desert that is a front for a decades-long attempt to loot and export the aquifer underneath it, regardless of the permanent damage it will cause, that one? That explicitly shouldn't exist.

It's also about 9 trailers and a house or two. And still has road access, as I noted and you appear to agree.

> Collapsed last weekend at the railroad track crossover.

Meaning the actual paved road to get to the area, or the unmaintained (unofficial?) path from the road, under the tracks, to the hill itself?

-------

But this is getting into the debate weeds. I'll be very generous and call the population along this stretch of road about 50 people.

There's close to 100 timber bridges in need of replacement, 70 miles of degrading asphalt, and of course - perpetual maintenance costs for both over the long term. It serves basically zero transportation function today.

I'm not a small government type, but the many, many millions of dollars it would cost to actually repair this road (not to mention continue to maintain it), do not seem remotely justified by it's utility.

The very tiny populations, tiny amount of industry, and very limited north-south function (Amboy Rd) here can be served by keeping the ~10mi Amboy-Chambless stretch and abandoning the rest of it/downgrading it to a 4WD track across the desert just like the dozens of other roads. Maintained/paved access via I-40 from Kelbaker Rd only.

-------

tl;dr - This is not, in my view, a case of government being unable to maintain infrastructure. This is a case where a large portion of the population would not feel that putting money into keeping this road in existence as a paved/2WD road along it's full length, is a worthwhile endeavor. You clearly have a vested interest in it.

We need to keep in mind that this drug address pretty much all of the biggest killers in the West. Not just one, but almost all of them. You name it - heart disease, obesity, alcoholism, smoking.

These things we already know are dangerous, and we also already know they're the most prevalent. We're not treating mesothelioma here.
RAG without preprocessing is almost useless, because unless you are careful, RAG gives you all the weaknesses of vector DBs, with all the weaknesses of LLMs!

The easiest example I can come up is imagine you just dump a restaurant menu into a vector DB. The menu is from a hipster restaurant and instead of having "open hours" or "business hours" the menu says "Serving deliciousness between 10:00am and 5:00pm"

Naïve RAG queries are going to fail miserably on that menu. "When is the restaurant open?" "What are the business hours?"

Longer context lengths are actually the solution for this problem, when context is small enough and the potential of ambiguity is high enough, LLMs are the better tool.
Yeah, I'm not really following the line of reasoning presented on the "/history" page: https://typeschema.org/history

It seems to me like a mischaracterization of JSON Schema to say you can't define a concrete type without actual data.

I am a very stupid individual so I could be misunderstanding the argument.
Those goals you are referring to are made up as the illusion we are running out of time.

Feels much weaker/naive than JSON Schema, as TypeSchema barely has any constraints.

The TypeSchema spec is hard to comprehend as it doesn't delve into any details and looks like just a bunch of random examples with comments than a proper definitive document (e.g. they don't ever seem to define what "date-time" string format is). I don't see a way to say, e.g., that a string must be an UUIDv7, or that an integer must be non-negative, or support for heterogeneous collections, etc etc.

Maybe it has some uses for code generation across multiple languages for very simple JSON structures, but that feels like a very niche use case. And even then, if you have to hook up per-language validation logic anyway (and probably language-specific patterns too, to express concepts idiomatically), what's the point of a code generator?
While I agree with, and share, the sentiment, and I like (in C btw) and think we should use it like Rust people do with written in Rust.. there's a bit too much pontificating going on here without going into why's and no source to show and tell. I don't mind as much the latter as the former; It leads nowhere good.

Also, site is rendered in a way that sucks to read.

I've been working on technology like this for the past six years.

The benefits of transparent systems are likely considerable. The combination of reproducible builds, remote attestation and transparency logging allows trivial detection of a range of supply chain attacks. It can allow users to retroactively audit the source code of remote running systems. Yes, there are attacks that the threat model doesn't protect against. That doesn't mean it isn't immensely useful.

Incidentally, this just led me to the first case I've found of a wide variety of AIs actually generating the same answer consistently. They almost always said a close synonym for "now I have a solution".

For some AIs, if you ask them to complete it for "Java" and/or "Regexes" first, then they give realistic answers for "AI". But others (mostly, online commercial ones) are just relentlessly positive even then.

Prompting to complete it for "Python" usually remains positive though.

Not sure why I got down-voted on my other reply, but basically this.

XML != HTML, not sure what is controversial to say about that.
The ultimate answer is "it depends". And upon what it depends is the particular IR wavelength the camera emits to "illuminate" a scene in IR for night photography.

My cell phone's back camera will show IR light from IR remote controls (I've used it for just that to verify that a remote is transmitting). But I also have an outdoor IP camera with IR illumination in my back yard. The same cell phone camera sees zero IR emitted from the outdoor IP camera (even though it quite well lights up a fairly broad area of the yard at night).

So for my phone, if a 'spy cam' were using the IR wavelength the IP camera uses, I would never know it was present by using the phone camera. If it used something closer to the wavelength used by IR remotes, yes, then the 'spy cam' would light up via the phone camera.
"Within our modeling framework, we show that gentrification emerges
only when high-income residents have some mobility, even if minimal, highlighting how their movement patterns catalyse the process. We treat relocation flows of agents in our city as time-varying edges in a temporal

So to summarize, when rich individuals wants to move, they do. Seems logical given they have the excess opportunity to do so with minimal risk / cost often associated with taking on whatever risks are associated with 'gentrifying'

While there is some commercial/industrial use of RPi, that seems like an odd consideration when generally considering how they've positioned the brand. Meanwhile you can write and run very similar code across everything from the zero all the way up to the 5—which is enormous flexibility that x86 simply doesn't offer.

Plus, my understanding is that the N100 still tends to have poor driver support issues that the Pi likely doesn't with such a large community.

It looks far more constrained, especially when it comes to the validation logic, which makes sense validation-wise but honestly quickly becomes a "fate shovels shit in my face" kind of situation when it comes to code generation.

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply, even from the comments it's not clear.

Are you being flippant about the metal being from China but the creation (artwork) was done in Venice ?

That would be a bit strange, Venice had access to easier sources of metals than the silk road. Also why would it be a point of contention? If it came from China, cool, that's fascinating that items of this size/magnitude was transported for reasons.. Maybe a gift maybe pillaging ? But that's just speculation.
That sentiment has selection bias built in. Anyone who commits any crime wasn't deterred by everything.

It is, however, factual that people choose to behave differently when they know they are being recorded. That might mean choosing not to commit a crime, commit it elsewhere, destroying a camera, or wearing a mask. While a functional camera can't prevent crime, it can identify those who commit them.

> When you have a pipeline of LLM calls, you can enforce much stricter limits on the outputs of each stage

Having an LLM output a number from 1 to 10, or "error" makes your schema really hard to break.

All you need to do is parse the output and it if isn't a number from 1 to 10... just assume it is garbage.

A system built up like this is much more resilient, and also honestly more pleasant to deal with.
