I ask "what is TiDB" in the demo as suggested, and it takes 2 minutes to start responding in the midst of a multi-stage workflow with several steps each of graph retrieval, vector search, generation, and response combination.

Each of these is individually cool, but it strikes me as tragic that so much effort has been put into an intricate workflow and beautifully crafted UI only to culminate in a completely useless hello-world example, which after 5+ minutes of successive querying and response-building concludes with a network error.

I could use this to build exactly what I need...after stripping out 80% of the features to make it streamlined and responsive.

Why isn't that minimal version the default?
What the other commenter is alluding to is that, if this comes into widespread use, it won't just be a moderate amount. We produce mind-boggling amounts of plastic waste and a lot of it would concentrate in rivers and estuaries.

Is there any reason to prefer this over Plausible? GA4 has lots of problems (user privacy, legal liability, AI-generated statistics, tracker blockers) that Plausible mostly solves; and if you're self-hosting this, why not just self-host a Plausible (or Matomo) instance?
Yeah, 'race to the bottom' has just taken on a new, grimmerer shade.

> But many service members faced justice in the US for those crimes

Did they now? How many of the guilty went to prison for Abu Ghraib? Guantanamo? Bagram torture? The kidnapping of random civilians to get tortured is some heinous shit, yet very few people were convicted of it, let alone served any time even remotely worth of the crime. The worst I can find for Abu Ghraib in particular is 6 years, which is laughable; and all of the convicted were the service members perpetrating their crimes, none of their commanders were also convicted. Let alone the people who allowed torture as an "interrogation technique".

Yup, I was in one of those situations. Working for a building renovation contractor who I liked and respected, we'd done several jobs on roofs, but low flat porch roofs, maybe 10' up. No problem. This one project was on a barn where the low edge of the roof was probably 30' up (vertically) and the peak 50', and it was pretty steep. I felt this was not a good place to free-solo and try to work at the same time. I asked about getting some way to rope in, and he had nothing. I told him I regretfully had to quit at the morning break.

Despite having been in all kinds of alpine rock climbing and international downhill ski racing competition experience, or perhaps because of it, that was just a hard NOPE. I think it was just the intense awareness that, once a slip starts, there was no recovering or stopping before the ground. The weird thing is just how totally casual he was about it, even seeming to think my question about protection was a bit odd.

I'm just damn fortunate to have the option, especially considering the statistics for roofing work.

> Tesla won. Within the last 18 months, every other EV maker in the U.S. has agreed to switch to Tesla's technology, in large part because that gives drivers access to the industry-leading charging network that Tesla built.

The reporting around this has been so poor. What has actually happened is CCS won. Tesla's charging standard will die off.

North America will use Tesla's plug and the CCS charging protocol. CCS is the charging standard going forward and J3400 is the third plug type it supports.

Older Teslas won't be able to charge at non-Tesla chargers because they don't talk CCS. They can get a CCS retrofit to add CCS support.
Most salmon do, but a small percentage always stray. If you think about it, it is kinda an obviously necessary behavior given that many current salmon habitats were not present during the last ice age.
Idk from when even id this article? Got me LLMs currently are broke and the majority is already aware of this.

The book Bird Sense by Tim Birkhead covers birds’ magnetic sense in Chapter 6. Research has demonstrated that seabirds have a magnetic map and compass that they use to navigate home, but it doesn’t discuss how this knowledge is inherited.

I believe Salmon use a similar mechanism, but it might be supplemented with chemical signatures. For Salmon, it’s possible that they genetically inherit the capability but learn the location at birth.
Pretty sure we are talking about Ukraine and Russia here, not other conflicts.
They swim towards where they feel water flowing from. They keep going until their bodies are breaking down. Fish at the spawn location often have rotting bodies, even as they still live - losing color and with their flesh changing consistency.
I'm surprised we could never engineer a proper salmon "elevator" to bypass the damn. Given the price of removing the damn, there seems to be a huge budget for creating some sort of high-tech Robo-elevator to scoop the fish out and drive them way upstream in a robo-vehicle.

Maybe a giant net that lies at the base of the damn, and periodically lifts out of the water to catch the fish and automate the transportation of them to ideal next step drop.
It seems like you’ve jumped to and are stuck on a conclusion that isn’t really supported, somewhat ignoring people from multiple companies in this thread who are actively using WebGPU, and it’s not clear what you want to have happen or why. Do you want WebGPU development to stop? Do you want Apple to support it? What outcome are you advocating for?

Unity spends the vast majority of its money on other things, and Unity isn’t the only company that will make use of WebGPU. Saying nobody will have success with it is like saying nobody will succeed at using CUDA. We’re just talking about compute shaders. What is making you think they’re too hard to use without Apple’s help?
That's the point of the discussion, imo. It seems to be an area of research. There's a lot of questions in my view. Why are people so addicted to food? Why do some models of caloric restriction not work as well as they should? How do we embed behavioral change, or do some of these people just have to be in misery for the rest of their lives?

It's not a profound statement to say if you starve in a desert you'll lose weight. The question is how we can apply this to real, normal people. Or if it's even possible in a food-weaponized world.

My view is that we're in the realm of addiction more so than simply answering "how" they mechanically lose weight. This is a public health crisis, one we need to be open to exploring.

Nice! My favorite challenge was avoiding the glowing white dots along the path.
To reiterate, your assessment is true and we can assign it a low probability, but in the context of trying to explain why one model would be an outrageous outlier, manual intervention was the simplest solution out of all the other hypotheses, despite being admittedly bizarre. The thrust of the prior comment is precisely to caution against conflating relative and absolute likelihoods.
Perhaps make it such that once you've completed it at 'normal' speed all the marketing messages are disabled, enabling the speedrun.

Honestly original article is way more interesting and nuanced. I'm afraid LLM version is too short and while technically correct definitely feels like dry list of random facts from transcription.
>but my interest in hacking it was so much bigger than my sisters I became a programm

That's a whole generation off the ads of the 80's that was selling this as a toy for boys. The bulk of that marketing was already culturally set by the new millennium.

And you may have missed the 90's marketing too. If you watched Hackers (1995) or any other media featuring "nerds" with computers in that decade and weren't at least turned off, the marketing worked. Because you chose to go through and it likely portrayed hacking as an undesirable male hobby for women.

> Changing that isn’t a matter of correction. You need to actively remove boys that are more interested which not yield the best results

You underestimate the power of marketing. Going from barely any women in the 2000s to 20% in the next decade (half a generation) is herculean effort. That doesn't happen naturally.
Whe SDFs are being used in games, SDFs don't really change the Analytical AA story much. SDFs are generally evaluated with ray marching, which is a form of discret sampling that has the same issue regarding coverage.

I think dreams might be using splats? It's possible that something like splats combined with a form of OIT along with an art style that is tolerant to certain types of artifacts could use Analytical AA. I don't know the specifics on Dreams, but i'd be surprised if even they would be using AAA.
Mostly it's a cost/ease thing. For the device to work correctly with no OS, the hardware inside has to be powerful enough to run all of the logic itself and it has to be coded up to do that.

If you wait until the OS is up, the device itself can offload a good amount of logic and processing to the device driver.

My bet would be that the main reason is that it's easier to find programmers who can write complex device drivers than it is to find ones who can write complex embedded firmware, and it's quicker/easier in general to write device drivers than firmware.

That and just 99% of people will never notice that it doesn't work outside of the OS, and of the rest, 99% will only be vaguely annoyed but not change brands over that.

totally - but to be clear the question I have is more like "where in the body is this knowledge encoded (for lack of a better term)"

Do you have neurons in your brain that are pre-wired for these things? Is that encoded in your DNA? Like physically how is it inherited and the selective pressures applied?
The LLM isn't solving the problem. The LLM is just predicting the next word. It's not "using next-token prediction to solve a problem". It has no concept of "problem". All it can do is predict 1 (one) token that follows another provided set. That running this in a loop provides you with bullshit (with bullshit defined here as things someone or something says neither with good nor bad intent, but just with complete disregard for any factual accuracy or lack thereof, and so the information is unreliable for everyone) does not mean it is thinking.

That's more a business problem than a technical problem. Web games are in a local maximum of minimal production cost (via 2D assets) versus maximized profits (via free-2-play), and as long as this works well there won't be an Infinity Blade because it's too expensive to produce.
It can be implemented once, by, say, nginx and enabled by a devops instead of every random outsourced java webapp.
You don’t “always” or even “often” have to make decisions like that unless all you’re writing are loops which run very simple computations a large number of times. Bubble sort is good for measuring the innate operation dispatch efficiency but it’s somewhat uncommon to have that many iterations doing so many simple operations so many times outside of the domains where people typically use things like numpy. If these benchmarks were doing more substantial operations the gap shrinks dramatically because more time is being spent in CPython’s native code or things like I/O.

There are definitely ones that work very well. Ladders with just the right water flow and step sizes, chutes that whisk away fish in a tube, etc. As dumb as it sounds one of the more effective methods is having fish collect into concentrated tanks that are then trucked upstream to the right spot.

Oooh, bogosort led me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort and divine sort:

Divine sort
A sorting algorithm that takes a list and decides that because there is such a low probability that the list randomly occurred in its current permutation (a probability of 1/n!, where n is the number of elements), there must have been a reason for the list's order. Therefore, it should be considered sorted in a way we don't understand, and we do not have any right to sort it to our beliefs, as if it were sorted "as God intended." Also known as Intelligent Design sort.[11]

> Do we understand the mechanisms of this "genetic memory"

I don't think there is particular evidence for "genetic" memory here. The salmon were already further down river, they just kept swimming upstream. While most salmon do return to the place of their birth, a small percentage always stray, which is how salmon are able to colonize new habitats and survive things like ice ages.
Just curious, what am I looking at here?
> lost on the anti-steering provisions

Also from that article:

> Apple allowed developers to include [information about other payment methods] but required that developers give Apple 27% of all sales made within seven days of being directed to these sites

That doesn't really sound like losing, a 27% penalty if you "steer users" is effectively the same as steering not being allowed.

Ubuntu is a nonstarter. Because there are many "clisp"s, what's the precise name of the package? This determines which codebase was used, i.e., GNU clisp. And, are you certain it works on arm64? (GNU clisp should by virtue of being a slower VM byte interpreter)
Probably just a "it's hard for little pay-off" issue.

To use a bluetooth keyboard from the stage of "Press F10 to Enter Setup" we need the firmware (whether BT host, mainboard, or something else) to have a full bluetooth stack, some way to manage pairing/unpairing devices, and a bunch of other stuff.

If we do this outside the BT host, we probably need changes to the operating systems at least to handle how we're going to hand-off the state of the bluetooth stack when the OS takes control. Unless we want to _separately_ manage pairing/unpairing in the firmware, we would probably want some way to expose that to the operating system to be able to push its paired devices down.

And then it's probably still not super useful unless we substantially lengthen the prompt time because the time for you to turn the keyboard on, coax it into connecting, and hit the button is gonna probably have the OS booted already.

If you want this today just don't use bluetooth. Get one of the devices that uses "2.4GHz" or uses "Bluetooth + 2.4GHz" and shove a dongle in there. The keyboard/mouse will appear as a normal USB-connected device and you can use them how you want.
They were offered government loans, but they did not accept it. The government has also said that direct subsidizes are not on the table since they already gotten enough. Applying more subsidizes will decrease trust people have in the venture and increase the view that falling prices in batteries are from subsidies rather than advances in technology.
the SITE can do that when HTTPS is used, yes, but an unauthorized third party can inject stuff much more easily when it's plain HTTP. A little ARP poisoning and some mitmproxy and before you know it you're injecting malware or whatever

I think it's hard to call it a reason. It is a tool which fits in with the philosophy of the company in terms of how to achieve it's goals, but I think it would still exist if rust didn't. I would describe the goal as making a hyperscaling system that can be sold as a product, the philosophy of how to make this is an aggressive focus on integration, openness, and quality, and that rust is a language that works well with the last two of those goals.

That's more of an issue with trusting any website, whereas TLS mitigates the risk of trusting a wifi provider or ISP. I also don't think it's much of a concern for old, infrequently used sites, but I wouldn't trust the competence of a modern website that didn't have a current SSL cert.

Looking at salmon research literature I found a study[0] with the following conclusion:

This study provides convincing empirical support for fine-scale local selection against dispersal in a large Atlantic salmon meta-population, signifying that local individuals have a marked home ground advantage in reproductive fitness. These results emphasize the notion that migration and dispersal may not be beneficial in all contexts and highlight the potential for selection against dispersal and for local adaptation to drive population divergence across fine spatial scales.

Seems like it might simply be that they go where they adapted to thrive.

Salmon do use magnetic senses to navigate the oceans as well, but it is an acute sense of smell (among other things) that allows (most of) them to return to the headwaters of their birth.
But what about at the start when they are in the ocean and water isn't flowing from anywhere in particular?

Here is how I am implementing something close to what you mentioned.
In my setup, I make sure to create a readme.md at the root of every folder which is a document for me as well as LLM that tells me what is inside the folder and how it is relevant to my life or project. kind of a drunken brain dump for the folder .

I have a cron job that executes every night and iterates through my filesystem looking for changes since the last time it ran. If it finds new files or changes, it creates embeddings and stores them in Milvus.

The chat with LLM using Embeddings if not that great yet. To be fair,I have not yet tried to implement the GraphRAG or Claude's contexual RAG approaches. I have a lot of code in different programming languages, text documents, bills pdf, images. Not sure if one RAG can handle it all.

I am using AWS Bedrock APIs for LLama and Claude and locally hosted Milvus
