I am told that there are websites where people post scans of academic books and articles without asking the publisher for permission first. One of those might hypothetically have the three articles which Kron cites, but the URL is likely to change frequently. A librarian can definitely order you a copy of this article through ILL.

Classics is not a rich field like physics or economics, so many older publications have not yet been digitized and released. Learning to obtain them is just part of the job.
Agreed, but in practice defaults do matter, and it's pretty rare that I see a C code base that actually makes use of 'restrict' etc. It's nice to see it sprinkled liberally throughout glibc's headers, but that's the exception, not the rule.
Yeah they really will be, I need to find a vaper.
Radically different?

Are they legal entities with massive assets that act demonstrably in their own self interest, against the interests of the publicity c, their students, and their skilled workforce?

Are they overseen by a bunch of MBAs executing classic managerial practices and financial manipulations?
At least in DE and NJ it takes about 15 mins and is all online. Costs do vary pretty widely by state though.
This isn't an argument, you just kind of sound jealous and self-destructive.
The issue is that "stablecoin" doesn't mean anything legally. US regulators have collectively abdicated their responsibility to create fair rules that encourage innovation while protecting investors and creditors.

Tether publishes their reserves [1], only 4% are Bitcoin. 84% is "cash & cash equivalents & other short-term deposits", 3% is precious metals, 5.55% is "secured loans". They report $5B in net equity, ~4.2%. So basically, if their collection of assets declines in value by 4.2%, they become unable to redeem every coin. There are a _lot_ of ways for that to happen with 87% of their assets in T-bills and money market funds. If the shortest T-bill is 4 weeks to maturity, they have plenty of time to incur interest rate risk (e.g.: Silicon Valley Bank).

An LLM does have a model of reality. An LLM's reality is built on the experiences (words) it's been feed.

Humans are similar. A human's reality is built on the experiences (senses) it's been feed. There definitely are several major differences, the obvious one being that we have a different sensory input than an LLM, but there are others, like human's having a instinctual base model of reality, shaped by the effects of natural selection over our ancestors.

Just like an LLM can't tell if the reality it's been fed actually corresponds to the "truer" outside reality (you could feed an LLM lies like the sky is plaid in such a way that it would report that it's true), a human can't tell if the reality it's been fed actually corresponds to a "truer" outside reality (humans could be feed lies like we are in true reality, when we're actually all NPCs in a video game for a higher level).

The LLM can't tell if it's internal reality matches an outside reality, and humans can't tell if their internal reality matches an outside reality, because both only have the input they've received to go on, and can't tell if it's problematic or it's incomplete.
In most real situations a graph is likely to be a model with some expected characteristics or perhaps data regarding real situations. Either way with modern computing it seems like in many cases using machine learning to predict the path or next steps on the path might actually end up being a more optimal method. The issue is how much data and modeling is available and how any processing of that would best be accounted for in final results that make use of any analysis.

I'll use a contrived example here to explain what the value of streaming the data itself is.

Let's say you run a large installation that has a variety of very important gauges and sensors. Due to the size and complexity of this installation, these gauges and sensors need to be fed back to a console somewhere so that an overseer role of sorts can get that big picture view to ensure the installation is functioning fully healthy.

For that scenario, if you look at your data in the sense of a typical RDBMS / Data Warehouse, you would probably want to save as much over the wire traffic as possible to ensure there's no delays in getting the sensor information fed into the system reliably on time. So you trim down things to just a station ID and some readings coming into your "fact" table (it could be more transactionally modeled but mostly it'll fit the same bill).

Basically the streaming is useful so that in near-realtime you can live scroll the recordset as data comes in. Your SQL query becomes more of an infinite Cursor.

Older ways of doing this did exist on SQL databases just fine; typically you'd have some kind of record marker, whether it was ROWID, DateTime, etc., and you'd just reissue an identical query to get the newer records. That introduces some overhead though, and the streaming approach kind of minimizes/eliminates that.

We are almost certainly going to see lots of additional tokens added to vocabularies (like the thinking token, but also could be a "<LOGIC FAIL>" token), lots of sophisticated decoding strategies etc. Just need to generate the data.
I don't believe it is, because I'd hope that academicians would better understand the distinction between token-uncertainty and semantic-uncertainty/semantic-correctness (or at least endeavor to establish a data-backed correlation between the two before making claims about their relation). As I noted in my other comment, I believe that the author of this is making a fundamental misunderstanding, which per their note at the top, is probably why they haven't been able to actually yield practical results.

I don't say that to be a hater or discourage them because they may well be on to something, and it's good for unique approaches like this to be tried. But I'm also not surprised there aren't academic papers about this approach because if it had no positive effects for the reasons I mention, it probably wouldn't get published.
oh you mean Ikea.

>This unevenness hints that factors other than the presence of certain sex chromosomes might also strongly influence longevity, the team says. One of these factors could be sexual selection. Exaggerated physical traits and elaborate behaviors make males of some species more attractive to females but require large amounts of energy and take a toll on overall health.

Perhaps the riskiness of male behavior in humans is built in at the chromosonal level...

If this is true, it’s beyond bad. It may be the beginning of the end of the free world.

I believe there are several important points missing from this discussion.

Firstly, there is the issue of hindsight bias. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had limited knowledge about the potential impact of the virus. Our understanding was primarily based on previous outbreaks like SARS and MERS, which had mortality rates as high as 50%, and alarming outbreaks on cruise ships and in apartment complexes which suggested fast spread of the virus through contaminated surfaces as well as through the air. The rapid global spread of the virus, facilitated by increased air travel, compounded these concerns.

Authorities were acutely aware that regions with less advanced healthcare systems would be particularly vulnerable. Even in countries with robust healthcare infrastructures, there was a significant risk that ICU units could be overwhelmed by the influx of severely ill COVID-19 patients requiring extended duration intensive care, with high-flow oxygen therapy often followed by intubation and a prolonged period of induced coma. This situation threatened to reduce the availability of intensive care for other critical cases.

Moreover, there was an initial shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) and oxygen supplies, exemplified by the oxygen shortages in India.

Finally, there was a real concern about the emergence of more lethal variants of the virus, particularly given the rapidly increasing number of infections and the vulnerability of immunocompromised individuals as potential incubators for new variants.

All these factors contributed to fears of a devastating societal and economic impact, as seen in the mass migrations of unemployed individuals in India returning to their hometowns and villages to support their families.

In my opinion, these considerations underscore why many measures taken during the pandemic were deemed necessary at the time.
Anything you can do with stateful streaming technology, you can do with a database and a message handler. It’s just a question of programming model and scaling characteristics. You typically get an in-process embedded DB per shard, with an API that makes it seem closer to managing state in memory.
An example for those not in the know: to find a shortest route on a realworld map, an admissible heuristic would be that the minimum travel distance between two nodes will be a straight line. While examining options, A* takes this into account, Dijkstra does not.
If it was that easy then we'd probably see more banks that do just that.
If that's what the Fox presenters truly believe, should the government be allowed to censor them?
The Ignobel prize in literature the police got awarded was a nice touch.

I still wonder how their DB was set up to accept this data in the first place. It makes sense to allow a person to be associated with multiple addresses - people move, sometimes a lot - but a person should not under any circumstances have multiple DoBs, should it?

(Unless I missed "Falsehoods programmers believe about personal data: People are born only once" or something)
Structured Output for LM Studio 0.3.5, OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini
I am trying to understand structured output from LLMs, and as training I am building a text game.

OpenAI is using pydantic to create objects directly in its beta branch, it's quite nice. Anthropic is a bit more involved, as you need to involve tool calling.

LM Studio 0.3.5 introduced a bug for structured output when using pydantic and enums or literals, I created a workaround.

Also Gemini is not using Pydantic at all, instead TypedDict to create the json scheme.

And Gemini does not have a system message.

I am quite proud to have everything working, if you want to check out my code please take a look:
https://github.com/HabermannR/Fantasy-Tribe-Game

Here is the backend:
https://github.com/HabermannR/Fantasy-Tribe-Game/blob/main/L...

For example, this is how I call Gemini:

completion = model.generate_content(

messages[0]['content'] + ": " + messages[1]['content'],

generation_config=genai.GenerationConfig(

response_mime_type="application/json", response_schema=response_types.typed_dict

),

)

result = response_types.pydantic_model.model_validate_json(completion.text)

Happy for any feedback!
It is an article on a Japanese Government website, of course they're going to promote themselves.

Starliner just looks like a complete waste of money at this point. Non-reusable rockets are a technological dead end.

Yes, the proper definition of "code" here is "something the author expects to be executed as instructions to a computer" - which inherently requires Theory of Mind to identify.
It seems intuitive to me that a correct streaming join is impossible without an infinite buffer and strong guarantees on how events are ordered. The number of real world systems offering both of those guarantees is zero. Anyone espousing streaming joins as a general solution should be avoided at all costs, particularly if they have a title that contains "architect" or "enterprise" (god forbid both in the same title).

At best, it is a trick to be applied in very specific circumstances.
Yeah i don't think it's counter at all. The bitter lesson calls out the fact that more computation/search wins.
Yes but you forgot the Ltd part at the end
It worked everywhere else. There are less murderers because murder is illegal.
Remember this the next time someone takes out the "it's so much easier to start a business in the US compared to Europe" nonsense. Yeah, there will be exceptions (cough Germany), but they're not the norm.

Similarly wrong, some people are under the impression that limited liability companies don't exist in Europe, and if you fail with your business, you personally become liable and unemployable and bankrupt.
What did their customer service tell you when you contacted them? Edit: after the experience told here.
Insofar as this is a philosophically meaningful assertion, it isn't true. LLMs live in a universe of words, it is true; within that universe, they absolutely have world models, which encode the relationships between concepts encoded by words. It's not "reality", but neither are the conceptual webs stored in human brains. Everything is mediated through senses. There's no qualitative difference between an input stream of abstract symbols, and one of pictures and sounds. Unless you think Helen Keller lacked a concept of true and false?
That's not what it's trying to imply. It's saying that if you chose a job based on what the world needs and what you love doing, you're in the realm of completing a mission. Then you look at the diagram to see what you're missing to reach Ikigai. This is a very "glass half empty" look at a literal diagram lol.
What's the problem with lower case characters? I feel like they just excluded them by accident because the table was getting too big.
Let's not go crazy here. There are wild apples, wild plums, wild grapes, and metric tonnes of wild raspberries growing on my property. They all taste more or less like the supermarket variety. The main difference is that they are noticeably smaller.
The black raspberries in particular do taste much better though and are roughly the same size as store-bought. But saying that they have nothing to do with what's commercially available is a cheap shot.
I guess that depends on the metal show, because I wholeheartedly disagree. But except kanonenfieber currently, I like little that is close to mainstream.

You really think people Backspace away old E-mails and files they want to delete (for example)?

I wondered if everyday users noticed the omission. Then I was waiting for help in an Apple store and heard a woman come in and tell a salesperson that she and her daughter were happy with their new MacBooks, except for one thing they hated: the lack of a Delete key; she asked if there was a way to remap a key to be Delete.

Backspace vs. Delete is a non-issue for 99% of consumers because they have those keys.
I recall the time the Japanese imprisoned the CEO of Nissan on trumped up charges and he had to smuggle himself out of the country to escape. Of course the US has Gitmo, but in general the justice system is remarkably fair compared to other countries, since its much harder to get a guilty verdict, which is why so many criminal court cases end with plea deals instead.
This is something I've wanted for a long time, will it have pe and macho format support?
Apart from factorio the games I play are 20 years old and older. I was looking forward to Homeworld 3 but they hashed that up so bad that it’s far less fun than the original.

Others pointed that A* and Dijkstra's algorithm solve different problems. But there's another possibility: less general but more efficient algorithm. For example, there are faster algorithms for planar graphs.
But they don't. They ask for a deterministic usage-based amount.
"Vocation" is a synonym, though it is misrepresented by the Venn diagram at the bottom of the article

Looking up "vocation" in modern dictionaries just says that it's a career, but that is wrong. The real meaning is a "calling", or: something that brings good to the world, that you can do, that you enjoy doing, and that sustains your livelihood

I grew up around Lutheran communities who stressed what a gift a vocation is because it isn't something that most people can reach. But we shouldn't stop looking for ours
I agree that you should be grateful for each moment you spend on this planet.

I don’t agree that you’re not allowed to be proud of the condition you spend those moments in.
Is this term actually used widely through Japanese culture or are they just riding the popularity train? E.g. if I'm in a "planning your future career" class in a high school in Japan, is the concept of ikigai going to come up?
His job is to hit the number, so this makes sense.
That's too bad; I'm a fan of Namecheap as well. This sounds like a breakdown in process. I hope you at least get your $31 back, even if you aren't able to buy the domain for that amount.

Pricing mistakes do happen, and Namecheap as an intermediary here (instead of being the actual seller of the domain) is in a hard place to honor that mistake.
There's no un-exploitable way. If the law is spelled out in excruciating detail, it will be abused by finding edge cases, loopholes and technicalities. If the law just conveys meaning, then it will be abused by judges (unintentionally or deliberately) mis-interpreting it.
The word confabulation is used in situations where human beings unintentionally pad whatever they say with falsehoods.
Please ignore my previous comments - I double checked with the model developers and here's the correction. Vanilla PTQ means no fancy quantization algorithm like SpinQuant, AWQ, etc. was applied. It just applied the same quantization scheme mentioned in the post (4bit per-group with g_size=32 symmetric weight, 8bit dynamic per token activation).
All of this was unnecessary on the old ice cream machines. The downside was they had to be cleaned and sanitized every night and that meant you needed one more person on the closing team. It was all about saving labor costs.
Food heist!

If anyone here is a fan of Brandon Sanderson but doesn't listen to his podcast with Dan Wells, called Intentionally Blank, you might enjoy it. And one of their things is to start off most episodes with a news story about a food heist - this apparently happens a lot.
Maybe it was 80 come to think of it.
Who predicted Chinas imminent collapse back then? It was certainly not a mainstream prediction.

More serious predictions have been made in recent years. And lo and behold we got Evergrande. The news since that has not been great. Some successes, and progress, yes. But also more and more deep fundamental issues brewing under the surface.

Nobody of note has claimed China will collapse over night. This is a process that spans over years if not decades.

The predictions of collapse have had demographics as its primary factor. People don’t go from 40 to 70 overnight. Yet the demographic factors are completely undeniable and its consequences bearing out year by year relentlessly.

And that is on top of a debt to GDP ratio which is utterly insane if you include shadow banking.
