You might like what we're building in that sense :D (full disclosure, I'm the founder of Beloga). We're building a new way for search with programmable knowledge.

> But until I get another heuristic for "should I dig into this more?"

Why do you need a heuristic? In what areas are you doing research where you don't have any other intuition or domain knowledge to draw on?

And if you don't have that background, contextual knowledge, are you the right person to be doing the work? Are you asking the right questions?
We've been working on a Python framework where one of the use cases is easy distillation from larger models to smaller open-source models and smaller-closed source models (where you don't have to still use / pay for the closed-source API service): https://datadreamer.dev/docs/latest/

Here's an (now slightly outdated) example of OpenAI GPT-4 => OpenAI GPT-3.5: https://datadreamer.dev/docs/latest/pages/get_started/quick_...

But you can also do GPT-4 to any model on HuggingFace. Or something like Llama-70B to Llama-1B.

For some tasks, this kind of distillation works extremely well given even a few hundred examples of the larger model performing the task.
Fibromyalgia is another one. Predominantly diagnosed or reported in women, though I (a male) got it from my mother (if it is even hereditary, otherwise just bad luck).

I wouldn't be surprised if many of these chronic symptoms boil down to nerve damage from either infections or the subsequent inflammation.

My brother's got pretty bad long COVID symptoms, but there's nothing physically wrong that doctors can find despite running every test under the sun related to his lungs and heart. Again, best guess is some sort of nerve damage causing the symptoms.
Loom is awesome. Loomos is magic
It's kind of funny - a fair amount of the major network vendors' hardware (i.e. Cisco, Arista, Juniper, HPE) isn't that much better than what MikroTik has produced at a fraction of the cost. Having a better and faster processor is great, but I don't think it's going to move the needle very much.

This really highlights how much the OS on network hardware is actually the biggest barrier to entry to the larger market. It's arguably one of the market segments where open source has traditionally had the least amount of adoption. Things have certainly been changing in recent years certain use-cases (e.g. SONiC and similar for DC switching) but it remains true that the OS itself (and the associated supporting infrastructure) is actually what drives both adoption and stickiness, not the newest/biggest/fastest speeds and feeds.

It's been true for a while that if RouterOS could be enhanced and made more attractive (manageability, support, QA, feature roadmap, 3rd part ecosystem, etc) it would make MikroTik a major market disruptor.
Oh interesting, that's a point I hadn't considered -- do people really cook in non-stick pans without any sort of oil? I've never owned one so genuinely didn't realize people did that. My Mediterranean family brought me up to use olive oil liberally!

And also true re: acidic foods -- I've got a couple stainless, but mainly use my enameled cast iron or clay (tagine) for tomato based dishes.
Two things: capitalists don't not work; and if you have a sizeable portfolio, you may not need to work and may earn plenty of passive income, yet still work because you add more value at the margin working than fiddling with stock allocations or angel investing or whatnot (vs index funds etc.).
I meant your average user can test a handful of sites if they are seo spam or good sites but a single search return 10+ results and even more when a user searches multiple things , multiple times a day . Average user doesn't have the time to test these many websites.
I've always assumed that Google ads subsidises everything else at Google. So my concern with a split would be YouTube increasing price or less investment in the service.

They add the same Option+Space (on macOS) shortcut that ChatGPT has, but the app feels a bit like a quick build overall, as it's just a web container. Hopefully they'll add some nice features that wouldn't work in a browser such as asking about what's on your screen or a shortcut to be able to speak questions and get a voice response.

GitRelate(d): Find related Git repositories
My coworker made this, so thought I would share!

Just replace github.com in any repo’s URL with gitrelate.com or gitrelated.com, and you can see other repositories that people who starred the original repo also liked. Works best with obscure niches with ~100 stargazers.

I also find some use for this. Or I often ask if there's a specific term for a thing that I only know generally, which usually yields better search results, especially for obscure science and technology things. The newer GPTs are also decent at math, but I still use Wolfram Alpha for most of that stuff just because I don't have to double check it for hallucinations.
All the schools around where I live start between 7 and 8, which means kids are waiting for busses and walking between 6 and 7.

Sunrise will be at 7:12 tomorrow. Sunrise would be around 8am at the latest if we kept DST year-round.

There is less sun during the winter. That is how it works. Just in general.

Also, whenever we try "year-round DST" we go back to "spring-forward"/"fall-back" because it sucks. Everyone says they want it until they get it. Whereas Arizona has gotten rid of DST and we don't hear anything about them. They got rid of it in the 60s.

The nation should follow suit.

And all of this is outside the fact that time zones in general are more political than practical. Which is another reason people think they want year-round DST. It's because they're probably in the wrong time zone.
I believe it bounces through accounts.youtube.com just to establish cookies on that domain. Everything else is under google.com, so the rest of the services are already good to go without a bounce.

By "lowest costs" do you mean cheapest to make or do you mean lowest price to the consumer?
Thanks didn't know that.

Do you happen to know the reason to use ollama rather than the built in server? How much work is required to get similar functionality? looks like just downloading the models? I find it odd that ollama took off so quickly if LLamma.cpp had the same built in functionality.
You have Avalonia, Uno Platform and, yes, MAUI. Most cross-platform GUI frameworks are flawed regardless of the language. The ones .NET has are decent, with various ways to approach the UI wiring - you have both XAML and declarative SwiftUI-style (and with MVU pattern too) options. Avalonia even has F# support through FuncUI. There are also plenty of bindings for SDL2, there's GTK# successor Gir.Core.

I wish the comments focused more on the subject of the article which is interesting and under-discussed.

I find that my search skills matter less and less because search engines try to be smarter than me. Increasingly I am confronted with largely unrelated results (taking tweaked keywords or synonyms to my query as input apparently) as opposed to no results.
So my conclusion is that the search engines increasingly see the need of search skills as an anti pattern they actively want to get rid of.
> In basically every case, the initial group that claimed to have it and the main promoters of it have been young females. Thus, some skepticism is justified. Women are generally more prone to social contagion.

I think the most useful question isn't whether women are more prone to contagion. It's whether more women would be saved by a doctor's skepticism of their symptoms, or whether more women would be denied proper treatment by it.

a little glossed over, but they do point out that most important improvement o1 has over gpt-4o is not it's "correct" score improving from 38% to 42% but actually it's "not attempted" going from 1% to 9%. The improvement is even more stark for o1-mini vs gpt-4o-mini: 1% to 28%.

They don't really describe what "success" would look like but it seems to me like the primary goal is to minimize "incorrect", rather than to maximize "correct". the mini models would get there by maximizing "not attempted" with the larger models having much higher "correct". Then both model sizes could hopefully reach 90%+ "correct" when given access to external lookup tools.
I'm surprised there are people here who are skeptical that long covid is real, as I know plenty of people in my community and social network who have been dealing with it.

There is national-level health guidance about long covid — I don't think it is very plausible that it is a simply "imaginary" problem:

Nearly 90% of our AI crawler traffic is from ByteDance
And who do you think owns Spatula City?
Yes, it's a frustrating attitude.

It's not only "long-lyme" patients who have been ignored or downplayed, but also many "long-covid" patients from the other four endemic coronaviruses, who have been reporting these symptoms for _decades_ now.

If you want to be a little shocked, try a scholarly publications search for "{hku1|oc43|nl64} cardiovascular", with a pre-2020 filter. You'll be amazed. 229e seems to have less research in this area, but it seems very likely that all five coronaviruses have this effect.

I think that the hype surrounding covid-19, for all its problems, has helped to elevate the reality of post-infection syndromes. I just hope that actual care is the long-term result, rather than more profit-seeking and power grabs over one single pathogen.
Linked clones aren't used in ESXi, instant clones and they ARE pretty nifty and heavily used in VDI where you need to spin up many thousands of desktop VMs. But they have to keep track of what blocks change and so ever clone has a delta disk. At the end of the day you are just moving around where this bookkeeping happens. And it is best to happen on a enterprise grade array with ultra optimized inline dedupe like a Pure array.

The only thing I've heard floated is Musk running a "government efficiency commission" which I just assumed meant he would be looking for ways to gut a lot of the never ending, never dying government programs. I've never heard him saying the commissions goal was to replace people with AI.

The former president said such an audit would be to combat waste and fraud and suggested it could save trillions for the economy.

As the first order of business, Trump said that this commission will develop an action plan to eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months.
I didn’t advocate for "scaling" care work in any way. The point is that care work needs adequate support and funding—not efficiency measures to turn it into a production line. Right now, schools and childcare services are chronically underfunded, with too few teachers and caregivers for the number of children needing attention. Meanwhile, parents with limited support systems work full-time just to make ends meet, only to watch a large portion of their income go straight to childcare costs.

The conservative approach you’re defending offloads all responsibility to the individual and the nuclear family, which means that in reality, women often end up trapped in unpaid care roles, increasingly dependent on their spouses' income. That’s not freedom, nor does it offer any dignity or choice; it’s a conservative agenda dressed up as “individual responsibility,” which only entrenches inequality and dependence within families.

And let’s address this twisted notion that anyone who wants state-funded support for care services somehow thinks of people as "cattle." It's laughable—except it’s also insulting. So, to put it bluntly: go fuck yourself for even suggesting that. Care, when adequately supported and dignified, recognizes people’s humanity rather than ignoring it.

As for the accusation that progressives want to monetize and commodify every human relationship, look at who benefits from the status quo. Conservatives would rather sacrifice people’s well-being to "traditional values," while keeping corporate interests safe from any pressure to reinvest in the society they profit from. I don’t see any corporate executives or capitalists hesitating to send their own kids off to private schools and exclusive care, expecting other people’s children to manage with nothing.

So let’s be clear: asking for social investments in care isn’t “capitalist.” It’s about making sure people aren’t left to fend for themselves, and about affording everyone—children, the elderly, those with disabilities, and the rest of us—a dignified life. And if that offends the conservative agenda, then good.
Typesetting Engines: A Programmer's Perspective
My brother has been suffering ever since his first or second encounter with COVID, I forget which.

His resting heart rate was very elevated from before he got sick, and recovery rate quadrupled. Just walking up a flight of stairs or two would require him to sit down, winded, to recover.

After all sorts of fitness tests, heart monitoring, lung tests, etc, the best guess the doctors could come up with was nerve damage from the infection or subsequent inflammation.

He's gotten covid 4 times total now. I don't think there's any way to tell if he's just unlucky in getting exposed to it or if there is some mechanism that lets it hide in the body, though I suspect he's just unlucky.
I find the boast about ending the war to be reasonably likely -- if it is clear the US is switching sides in the conflict, a negotiated capitulation could happen pretty quickly.

In a similar vein, solving world hunger is closer today than it's ever been. The previous best hope was global thermonuclear war, but honestly that would leave enough survivors as to be mostly ineffective, and much more likely to have the opposite result. Severe climate change has a better shot at fully eliminating [human] hunger.

I got a similar feeling. I think it was overdoing the ums and uhhs for something trying to sound like an even slightly professional podcast kind of sound.
Maybe they're correct?

Mental illness is complicated and it can create real physiological symptoms. Someone with extreme anxiety will feel heart palpitations, fatigue, and a bunch of other symptoms despite the cause not being an actual underlying disease.

Is it always the case that there's no underlying disease? No, but is it often the case? Maybe?

Those that make it part of their identity and reinforce it make it worse.

I don't know what's going on here, but if I had to place a bet it's on the side of skepticism wrt 'long covid' in most cases.

And what would be the reason for this subsidy? Do they think YouTube is going to keep growing and it's worth waiting for them to become somehow more popular? Would it be catastrophic for Alphabet if other large players entered YouTube's market?

And why would losing a subsidy mean increasing prices? As far as I can tell consumers think YouTube's offerings are overpriced as is and they could probably increase profit by lowering them, especially if it's not their parent's add subsidiary they'd be cannibalising.

We know that vaccines saved hundreds-of-thousands of lives. It is also possible that they caused a small number of adverse effects (although the signal for this is so deep in the noise to be effectively uninterpretable.) Focusing on the potential adverse effects just serves to muddy the waters for those who can put the many orders-of-magnitude difference in perspective.
Measuring total process count seems like a bit of a nonsense metric, it seems more related to how the services are structured or what features you want enabled rather than any measure of "goodness".

From a security and robustness POV, surely /more/ process separation is a good thing?
> But if you compare that to typical Ada code, the latter is much safer. Ada programmers try to do more things in Ada, probably because many of them need to write high integrity software.

Well, since Rust is explicitly a system programming language, you would expect it to call into underlying systems more often, hence the use of unsafe.

The difference is this: Like all programming languages, Rust lives close to the metal. The „unsafe“ keyword is merely a marker that a system call might happen here, which might be inherently unsafe (think of C‘s localization methods which are not thread safe).

That‘s it. You can call ADA more safer but it still has to adhere to the underlying complexity of the system it runs on, and upon interaction with it via FFI calls it will be just as unsafe, just without a marker.

The low hanging fruit is exactly what Rust is made for. It‘s explicitly overengineered for that one use case, where GC languages can not be used for whatever reasons. It lives in the twilight zone between a GC and calling alloc/free yourself.

I disagree with people rewriting everything in Rust that could be simpler and better done with Python/Csharp/Go/etc. But if you need to work with manual memory management or concurrency with shared references, Rust is certainly your best bet.
Which is how YouTube worked when Google bought it. I had to live through the nightmare of consolidating separate Google accounts and YouTube accounts with the same email address. Same with Blogger. It's not hard to imagine YouTube just being another separate oAuth'd account.

My hypothesis has always been that "chronic Lyme" is the natural consequence of America's shitty healthcare system. These people have something wrong with them, probably autoimmune, but getting to the bottom of health problems here is expensive and tedious.

On the other hand, Lyme blood tests are pretty cheap. And what the "Lyme literate providers" (aka grifters) don't mention is that some of the cheaper blood tests are prone to false positives in the presence of inflammation. Which most people with autoimmune diseases have :)

It took me years to get to the bottom of my own shit, and if I'd taken the Lyme test (that one of my doctors inexplicably ordered years ago) at face value, I'd probably be taking a sketchy cocktail of supplements and antibiotics right now instead of what I really need, which is Remicade.
