I want to second the recommendation of MyNoise.net. It's phenomenal. Especially at work, it's perfect for getting in the zone. I pay for it even though I mostly stick to the free ones.

If you're working at a computer, I recommend opening multiple tabs at the same time. For example, one with some relaxing white noise, one with a music-adjacent one like Mr Rhodes or 88 Keys, and maybe also a crackling fire for cozy vibes.

- https://mynoise.net/noiseMachines.php My favorites are: "Stormy Weather", "Fireplace", "Irish coast", "88 Keys", and "Mr. Rhodes"

You can also find myNoise sounds on YouTube and Spotify:

I am very suspicious of the results. A few months ago they published a LLM benchmark, calling it "perfect" while it actually contained like only 50 inputs (academic benchmark datasets usually contain tens of thousands of inputs).
The actual outcomes of those different voting systems is still a dominant US that is increasingly leaving the rest of the Western world behind.

So maybe we should be learning from them?
In Agda, if_then_else_ is a ternary operator: https://wiki.portal.chalmers.se/agda/ReferenceManual/Mixfix

For Agda being lazily evaluated, ternary if_then_else_ corresponds to usual if cond then true_expr else else_expr syntax of most mainstream languages.

Maude also have a lot of infix, prefix, postfix and mixfix, including ternary operations: https://maude.cs.uiuc.edu/maude1/manual/maude-manual-html/ma...

Collateral damage. Same thing that happens in any war when an analyst or soldier misreads the battlespace.

War is hell. We won’t change that by making it pleasant. We can only avoid it by not going to war.

For the uninitiated, branch prediction roughly works like this:

The CPU fetches instructions from memory well ahead of actually decoding what the instructions are. In case of variable length instruction sets such as x86 that also means the cpu has no ability to "peek ahead" in the instruction stream to find out if there is a branch.

But don't despair, there is a trick:

Each instruction (obviously) has an address. So if you had an associative memory (think of it as a hash map) that stored a pair of (address of a branch; target address) then you can consult this memory while you're fetching instructions to feed to the decoder stage of the pipeline.

When the address of the next instruction you're about to fetch is found in that associative memory you get the address of where the rest of the instruction stream lives. I.e. instead of fetching the next word sequentially you continue fetching from whatever address was found by the lookup.

Now, when you actually end up executing the instructions it may turn out that the target address suggested by that lookup memory was wrong. In that case you just flush the pipeline and start fetching again from the actual target (and you update the branch predictor associative memory).

This basic model works for conditional branches, unconditional and indirect branches too but in practice there are more tricks. Some indirect jumps like returns exploit the natural call/ret pairing as described elsewhere in this thread. Conditional branch entries may contain an extra bit taken/not-taken etc.

But the main idea is more or less this.

To "mispredict" an unconditional jump for example all it takes is to modify the code so that the instruction points to a different target.

If the branch predictor target address still points to the old target, that address will be prefetchec and a stall will be caused. No big deal in practice.
We need to start treating “non-commercial” as the ambivalent term that it is.

Eg: All “non-profit” and “personal” use likely isn’t necessarily “non-commercial”, but those two can be easily identified based on who it is that makes use of the software.

So what is the definition of “non-commercial”? Nothing in itself. Eg. Creative Commons elaborates a lot on what it means in that context: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/NonCommercial_interpre...
Interesting, the dentists I have asked (4) all said it doesn't matter (Spain and Germany, maybe it's relevant) at all and it's up to personal preference.

This is why I export my emails to my laptop on a regular basis with GYB (https://github.com/GAM-team/got-your-back) even though I am a paying Google for Business customer.

The real controversy here however is the dependency on a US phone number for securely transacting in so many ways. Carriers barely can hold onto a number for you with SIM swaps and there is no such concept as "owning" a phone number

> Deuterium is also not renewable, even if it is more abundant than uranium

Technology correct, in that after around a hundred trillion years even the red dwarf stars will have stopped burning hydrogen.

But last I checked as yet there is no known way to harness the only (and even then merely suspected) infinitely renewable energy source: the expansion of the universe.

That's my whole damn point. It ain't here yet. You're comparing SLS to a fantasy rocket. Starship needs to materialize before we compare IMO.

(lovely thread!)

Under $100

- Ember Mug, same as many folks here: 4 years of service, 2 use of their customer service, bought another one for my wife. 100% will reshop when my current mug stop working or is not replaced anymore by their amazing support.

- A memory foam pillow: Had to iterate to find the right one, but once you've it, you know it. You sleep better, less pain in the back/neck/shoulder

- A vasectomy: just taking charge of the contraception in my couple. Simple, painless and effective.

Under $1000

- A gym coach coming once a week to kick my ass and make me sweat. My best investment in nearly 10 years. I've never been so fit and in shape in my life. He's there every week, even when you really don't want to do anything and afterwards, you'll always feel better

- Airpods Pro, I use them between 2 and 6 hours a day and they've become my second pair of ears. I use them often in transparency mode to avoid screaming during meetings and when it's quiet around, it's perfect.

- A standing desk and its screen arm. I use it every day, and sometimes in upper position (yay!)

Over $1000

- A Babboe Curve e-bike to carry my kids to school. 2000km later, it's still an amazing device to move almost all the family without any of the car's downside (yes, I live somewhere in France)
I answered that exact question! :)
Suppose you're Sam, the CEO of a company that spends a TON on customer service -- both customer/client-facing and internal HR processing and so on. Suppose Sam wants to automate those interactions.

Sam probably wants that automation to be very robust to abuse, and avoid entangling the company in any sort of nonsense -- legal, cultural, or otherwise. Do the job, do it well, and stay on script. Don't insult the customer. Take abuse with a smile in your face. You know, the sort of stuff that the human people doing those roles now are trained on and understand.

To the extent that Sam can get woke-y extraordinarily cheap faculty/phd students to do enthusiastic labor for his customer service automation by calling it "alignment" or "AI Safety", well, all the better!

Not sure what any of that has to do with whether Sam or his company supports the use of automated weaponry.

As for how faculty and students characterize this type of research? There are a few kinds o things going on, not least of which is ego. But the most important, from Sam's perspective, is "academia-washing". But using a university as his contractor and calling his contractors' junior employees "students", Sam gets to skirt the whole visa thing!!! This for the small price of a faculty member "academia-washing" his internal R&D problem statement.
Biden was clearly anti-oil.

He canceled pipelines and repeatedly refused to extend leases. Just because he "Approved" more, speaks to the business climate and pricing of oil. It'd be better to see how many his administration actively fought against for just the politics... Take the keystone oil pipeline... It was effectively finished and they canceled it... how wasteful.
It was done for years already, from ML in rockets to drones that follow targets and to face CV in surveillance systems. I am not sure how much is used in modern fighter jets. The only difference is that now public cloud vendors are going in but at the same time I doubt Claude will be used to steer the rockets, the rate of error is too high.

Someone much more charismatic in the right scene certainly can do such things more consistently. What's the equivalent here, Tinder dates? I wonder which is more effective for that tip charismatic male? (it's no doubt women are wayyy more successful on dating apps. Too successful).
> Think of sharpening a sword you've no intention to swing.

More like having every intention to achieve glorious victory in battle with your sword, but never getting to it as you keep finding ways to make the sword even sharper. That's legitimate trap, yes.

Most are so afraid of this trap, that they just live on the battlefield and keep fighting with their dull, wooden swords; when asked if they heard about sharpening - or steel - they mumble some quotes from Arthur C. Clarke's story, "Superiority". And it's true, many people fall into this trap. Some are never heard from again. But then others occasionally share their sword designs and sharpening tricks, which end up improving weapons for the whole army. Then there are those who pop in and out, tinkering in the field, upgrading their blades until they become rocket propelled chainsaws or other weird shit.

The truth is, if you're not satisfied with your Army Standard Issue Sword and want something better, you'll need to fall into this trap once or twice. That's how you learn how to upgrade your own gear.

Or, in short: exploration vs. exploitation tradeoff. If you want to get shit done, you need to find a good balance. Maximizing either of the two is a failure.

Genuine question: at what point does the term RAG lose its meaning? Seems like LLMs work best when they have the right context, and that context must be pulled from somewhere for the LLM. But if that's RAG, then what isn't? Do you have a take on this? Been struggling to frame all this in my head, so would love some insight.

How can ANY question have been too inappropriate for Yahoo! Answers? That was a true treasure of the web RIP Am I Gregnant?

I guess what I’m saying is that it really doesn’t.

But in order to make money on shorts you not only have to be right, you also have to get the timing right. That’s a lot more difficult…
I really just dont see what people mean by this. Our only reference point for intelligence is the brain which is based on probability in the same way that LLMs are.

> Polls failed to account for the “shy Trump voter effect,” Théo said. Either Trump backers were reluctant to tell pollsters that they supported the former president, or they didn’t want to participate in polls, Théo wrote.

> To solve this problem, Théo argued that pollsters should use what are known as neighbor polls that ask respondents which candidates they expect their neighbors to support. The idea is that people might not want to reveal their own preferences, but will indirectly reveal them when asked to guess who their neighbors plan to vote for.

Social media companies would have a strong motivation to ensure the plan fails.
They would want it to fail to stop spreading to other countries. They could help it fail by several methods, in my opinion. Social media companies would have NO motivation to ensure its success. Maybe there needs to be a significant penalty to social media companies if the proposal fails?

I love what Anthropic and Dario are doing and from a business perspective this makes perfect sense. But AI is the last thing the military should be touching.

If there's even a half percent chance that a mistake is made, it could be irreversibly destructive. Doubly so if "trusting the AI" becomes a defacto standard decades down the road. Even scarier is that "the AI told us to do it" is basically a license to cause chaos with zero accountability.

> I've never been to South America, and only know a handful of Mexicans, Brazilians, Argentinians, and Colombians....not enough to say that I can speak for their politics.

Brazilian here. Our politics can be summed up as "socialist president backed by totalitarian supreme court". Trump's victory gave me hope. The socialists are already complaining about the upcoming "hard times". Anything he does that pisses off brazilian authorities is a win in my book.

I once watched Trump give a speech about how the USA was losing Brazil. Time proved him right. Brazil is now very close to China and Russia, they're even trying to replace the USD with their own currency. Maybe he'll care enough to change that.
"If the whole world was a monorepo" is a great point made me laugh.
Nope, you can switch domains at any point. It'll break web links to your profile, but the network won't struggle to keep track of who you are.

The reason for this is that domain names are aliases. Your permanent ID is the DID, which the domain name maps to.
This might be something I'll end up buying, I've got a pair of xm4s and they're beyond irritating.

"Warm fuzzies aren't in the spec."
> Haha nice to see you come out of the closet. Anti fascist guerillas of WW2 would beg to differ. I my self think it cowardly to hate the other guy on the opposing side just because he was thrown in to fight. Being forced to die for someone elses interests and pocket is a terrible fate, and this applies to Russians and Ukranians alike.

The list is obviously longer than just ultra nationalists, but the anti fascist weren't exactly fighting for some international community (eg: partisans in Italy). They would fight the fascists and if invaded by others, they would fight them too. They were fighting for themselves and to liberate their country.

The point, which maybe wasn't clear, is that it's those with more "extreme" views that stand up, not the average person that wants to run away. The early groups in Ukraine after Russia invaded were not just neo nazis. They even had groups of anarchists fighting in the east.

> For some reason none of those Azov fighters that rubbed bacon on their bullets because the Chechens were coming are so brave and loud now. I wonder what happened

Mostly dead, I assume. For all I care, they can all disappear. Them and the "ruscists".

But you missed the point here too... How many units were named after Azov before and after the siege? Do you think it's a good idea to create conditions for them to be "glorified" since they were sacrificing themselves (whether you agree or not is besides the point) if the intention is to denazify a country?

It's utter garbage outside of a controlled environment. Youtube can use it because Youtube will have an official environment and there will be no such thing as a script that was written in one version or with one module installed that then breaks at run time.

The impressive size of the big users actually works against proving how great it is.

Use the official version inside Google or Netflix: ok.

Use in a package where the package manager ensures all dependencies and versions are met exactly: ok

Use by writing and immediately using and discarding today: ok

Write a random script and expect it to work in 6 months or on any other machine or god forbid another platform: forget it.

In college my GF loved to give me hickeys (against my will) on my neck before I would go out at the bar because she thought it would dissuade women from flirting with me.

After we had a particularly bad fight, after things cooled down and we were making up, she put a huge one on my neck. Like it looked like someone wrenched me with a baseball bat. Next day it was really bruised and looked horrible. I had to get my DL renewed and they took the pic with the bruise and all.

I got the same thing, bouncers and every time I had to present somewhere would get the "Ohhhhhhh bro, that is BAD!" which would then lead to other people clamoring to see it.
Yes I absolutely think so. It won’t be a total dissolution, but I would expect coastal states especially on the West Coast to band together and leave the union. This would only happen in my eyes if Trump consolidated power and attempts to extend his term indefinitely OR/AND Trump, being as vengeful as he is, attempts to get back at blue states via federal laws and orders.

Some may say “no, to secede you need approval and they will say no!”. Okay, but in this scenario why would states with the GDP the rest of the union relies on just ask nicely?

A Trump government threatened individual liberties everywhere and he’s vindictive enough to concentrate on blue states. Check the news today about Newsom’s special session. Plans already under way.
