Sure, but each case has to be tried on its own merits. It’s a cat and mouse game, not a certainty of enforcement.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see that behavior of pirate streaming sites such as clones and (modified) limited hangouts as aspects of strategies to combat enforcement while segmenting the market to increase profits and/or limit exposure to downside risks.

Debrid services act as a shared cache of requested torrents/magnet links as well as digital locker services sold as upsells on a premium tier. It’s facilitated as a WebDAV API and/or direct HTTPS downloads generated via unique hashlists that encode magnet links.

It can be incorporated into search addons for things like Stremio or Kodi or Jellyfin or Plex so it’s basically just-in-time streaming from a cache that just-in-time downloads a torrent or digital locker file, backed by a time-based cache that usually is provided by the debrid provider, similar to how paid newsgroup providers advertise retention, but also with downward pressure to avoid long-lived links to avoid DMCA takedowns.

> In the extreme
case, a language model answering reasoning questions may rely heavily on retrieval from parametric
knowledge influenced by a limited set of documents within its pretraining data. In this scenario, specific documents containing the information to be retrieved (i.e. the reasoning traces) contribute
significantly to the model’s output, while many other documents play a minimal role.

> Conversely,
at the other end of the spectrum, the model may draw from a broad range of documents that are
more abstractly related to the question, with each document influencing many different questions
similarly, but contributing a relatively small amount to the final output. We propose generalisable
reasoning should look like the latter strategy.

Isn't it much more impressive if a model can generalize from a single example?
In 2008 it was about $60 for ~118 channels ( my source is https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/24/technology/24cable.html which isn't very good arguably).

So lets round and say $0.50 a channel.

If netflix et al only cost $0.50, i'd have no problem subscribing to 10 services.

Really, the whole cable a la carte thing was really a response to false advertising. Cable liked to advertise each channel as being equal - as if you were spending $0.50 per channel when really you were spending $50 on the good channels, and the other junk was free.
> Long-lived rails apps are a nightmare to work with, in exactly the same manner as long-lived java, python or php apps

Agreed that tech debt and bad architecture is everywhere. However, from my experience there is a difference in how much work it takes to evolve a project towards something that's less of a nightmare to work with.
The real terrorists are the ones operating factory farms. They're breeding animals to live a hellish life of suffering and then die in horrible ways.
there's an obvious national security angle to this
Without clicking your link, I'm guessing it was either a friendship program of the chinese government (one of the more altruistic governments, even among governments), or possibly a UN program (the UN is sometimes called the "united altruists") which simultaneously eradicated it worldwide. Was I close?
Due to the Patriot Act, a post-9/11 bill, banks are required to view every transaction, foreign and domestic, and find every possible trace of potential terrorist activity. This includes any and all forms of money laundering. They will treat even the most innocent transaction on hold if they find it suspicious, because the law requires it. It can even be indirectly tied to the recent cases of debanking, as internal bank departments are far harsher to legal but politically inconvenient speech than they had been.

And one must remember, the government knew, at minimum, that there was a major terror attack incoming for 3 years prior and even knew 4 of the 19 terrorists involved, even if scale and date was not known. I find it very telling that the bill that was drafted over the following month and a half, and was rushed into law in three days, had such major, calculated impacts on our freedoms.
> I don't think you're framing the issue from an educated standpoint.

I mean, was all this really necessary to make your point?

I also think you're ignoring what I said about 30-odd years of resilience that came before microservices.

> For example, supporting very basic blue-green deployments that come for free in virtually any conceivable way to deploy services.

I'm genuinely confused here: what does that have to do with creating monoliths? Are you claiming that monoliths prevent a whole lot of good practices (blue-green, canary deployments, whatever)?

Because monoliths have been deployed in a gradual rollout fashion before, have been multi-sited for DR rollovers onto secondaries, have been deployed with hot rollovers, etc.

There are, right now, COBOL "monoliths" running and managing a significant part of your life.
Well said. You are exactly right. Low Code stuff is usually invented by people with a specific set of criteria that they realize can be generalized, and defined by a GUI, but who lack enough experience to realize the entire world of possibilities can't be crammed into their model. Languages (like Python, etc) are already the most compact way to represent most things, and trying to avoid that fact just makes things even harder.
There's no way that they were netting 250MM EUR per month. Just think of that number. That's 3 BILLION EUR per year!

Putting that into perspective, Gitlab is on track to do around just 580MM USD this year and is valued at 8 billion dollars in market cap.

Something tells me that their revenue isn't is 10% of Netflix.
This has nothing to do with bailing a company out. Intel, along with every other chip company, do not want to build any chip plants in the US. It makes no business sense for them. But this is bad for the US given that chip making is a critical defense industry. That's why the CHIPS Act exists, to onshore a critical defense industry so that if war breaks out, at least it's secure.
I think a paper menu is good, especially for a restaurant that you will sit down and they will come to take your order. If changes are made, they could save paper and ink by only printing pages that have changed rather than all of them. They could also be made in a reasonably compact format, which also saves paper.

Sometimes you don't want to print out a copy; in this case, e-ink displays might help. I think e-ink displays would be useful for many kind of business signs that do not need to be changed but sometimes do, e.g. daily (or less often, e.g. the business hours sign, which might have different hours each day of the week but the sign will list all of them so doesn't need to change very often).

A QR code won't help in case the customer cannot use it (although I have seen a restaurant that provided a iPad for customers who needed it; the only time I was ever at such a restaurant, I was with someone else who already had a iPad, although they did not always bring their iPad with them so they might not have had it and needed the one provided by the restaurant if they didn't bring it with them).

A compressed representation of restaurant menus in a computer file might sometimes be useful in some circumstances, too, although this does not really substitute for any of the above.
Intel lost $16.6B last quarter.
Intel had to agree not to buy back stock for 5 years when they accepted this money. They went from 50 to a low of around 20 during a huge bull run in semis too so whatever they are guilty of I don’t think they can be accused of “keeping the stock price high”. I believe they have smart people doing research but extremely poor incentives and siloing so no engineers can make any headway. I don’t think Gelsinger has gone hard enough in correcting this so maybe fresh leadership would help.
> So, I have serious doubts about anyone saying they're against immigrants and that it's coming from a racist (even minimally) perspective. Racism is a core tenant of Nazism and Fascism.

Once again, I have to point out that you're equivocating "Racist" and "Nazi". If you're going to use the term "Nazi" for all racists, what word do you propose to use for the genocidal, gas-chamber-loving actual Nazis?

> However, if we wanted to rigorously benchmark AlphaChip against simulated annealing or other floorplanning algorithms, we have to afford the same compute and runtime budget to each algorithm.

The Nature authors already presented such a study in their appendix:

"To make comparisons fair, we ran 80 SA experiments sweeping different hyperparameters, including maximum temperature (10^−5, 3 × 10^−5, 5 × 10^−5, 7 × 10^-5, 10^−4, 2 × 10^−4, 5 × 10^−4, 10^−3), maximum SA episode length (5 × 10^4, 10^5) and seed (five different random seeds), and report the best results in terms of proxy wirelength and congestion costs in Extended Data Table 6"

It's a good litmus test for a restaurant too, because I've found it tends to have an uncanny valley.

At less formal restaurants, the staff are chill enough to immediately tell you what they eat.

At high end restaurants, they can tell you because they've had tastings and ingredient drills.

In the middle? You run into the weird "just enough training to pretend to be formal, but not enough to actually have comprehensive menu knowledge." Hence a lot of refusal to make recommendations or braindead "Do you like steak? The steak's good." (And yes, I know all the ways that customers are assholes about recommendations)

Did you fully read the article?

In modern math, the concept of a field establishes addition and multiplication within its structure. We are not free to redefine those without abandoning a boatload of things that depend on their definition.

Division is not inherent to field theory, but rather an operation defined by convention.

It seems like you're fixating on the most common convention, but as Hilel points out, there is no reason we have to adopt this convention in all situations.
In fact, the research I've done has shown that privacy and security are very important to these people, but you'll also find some things related to finance and networking.
Here's another Tidbit, that I had half forgotten - Docker wasn't Kubernetes native platform. https://youtu.be/YrxnVKZeqK8?t=598 - Google originally was going to launch k8s far more borg-like, using https://github.com/google/lmctfy as the container engine. LMCTFY is the most direct part of Borg released to the outside world. It is the container engine of the Borglet (analogous to the Kubelet) ripped out fairly directly.
See my comment above - the Nature authors already did this, and tried a huge hyperparameter sweep for SA, and RL still won.

See appendix of the Nature article: rdcu.be/cmedX
I agree with all your points, and as someone still in the food industry I'd add that the use of Market Price on menus often comes down to something mundane: The Market Price items fluctuate too much between frequent purchases made by the restaurant and those establishments usually don't want the not-cheap expense of new copies of the menu printed that often.
Can you say more about your product plans? It looks like this is directly competing with Browserbase — how will you differentiate? Looking forward to seeing how the product and company grows
Sometimes I think they should have just offered this money as startup capital to new ventures. What's the advantage of Intel here versus just going with Intel engineers?
The problem with LLM-generated code is you can't trust it. It might be fun for games and non-mission critical stuff, and I agree it's coding sills (Claude namely) are amazing, but it often totally misses edge cases, or creates stuff that seems to work, until you scrutinize it and find tons of bugs.

The qualify of software worldwide is about to begin to plummet as developers get lazy and start trusting AI generated code. That's super dangerous. Never trust it.
Thanks for the Pigsty link. I have been a big fan of running Postgres on metal machines.
This article is interesting, but the author seems more excited about tricking people into spending more money. You could easily use endpoints that are more in the direction of satisfaction and happiness than always using money as the goalpost.

I understand that the people he interviewed are likely in the business of profit making but as a journalist for the BBC I would have hoped for a more honest take.

"Put the most expensive item first so that the others seem more reasonable"

That's just messed up and not something to be celebrated IMHO
> Some would say he got taken for a ride by a young charismatic grifter and is now in too deep to back out.

Was the TPU physical design team also taken in? And also MediaTek? And also TF-Agents, which publicly said they re-produced the AlphaChip method and results exactly?
Thanks, I like this.
I don't understand LLMs enough to know if this is a silly question or not.

Is it possible to build domain specific smaller models and merge/combine them at query/run time to give better response or performance instead of one large all knowing model that learns everything ?
I think maybe the first step in this scientific rigor is to read the article. On the other hand, maybe scientific rigor is primarily in the amount of repetition of ideas already dismissed. Perhaps the most rigorous scientists simply repeat the same hypothesis unchanged when another of them finds evidence to dismiss it.

I have heard tales of a truly scientific rigorous civilization. Every human there replicates every study. They’re currently confirming that using cutting rocks to tear flesh is advantageous to survival.
I had unpleasant experience with some consumer chemicals. Removing paint from the balcony barriers, I didn't bother to cover my feet. When a small piece of paint with acid in it landed on my bare foot top, I thought that was nothing special, but it started to feel burning more and more, so I had to go wash it off in the bathtub. After this happened the third time, I finally decided to tie cardboard pieces to my legs and feet. No scars were left, probably thanks to the immediate burning feel.

Another time, I used so-called anti-grease cleaner, which is an alkali just stronger than common soap. Usually it comes as dense liquid like "Fairy", but that one was spray. I wondered why, and I saw it work better than the previous ones, but failed to add 2 + 2. The % of the alkali was higher, it was a lot more aggressive, that's why it was enough in smaller quantities.

Washing a pan inside with a brush (I did put on protective glasses), I felt it stick to my finger, but bother washing it off. When I did, I was already feeling the skin and the flesh underneath burn, and they shrank noteably, exactly like after you touch hot stove inside surfaces, or hot gas oven grill. I feared I'd have to treat it for couple of weeks, but magically that evening the finger came to normality, and no scars were left. Whew!..

Intel invests ~4B per quarter on R&D. Source - Intel's income statement:

https://www.intc.com/financial-info/income-statement

So whatever their problems are, throwing more money at R&D is unlikely to solve them.

Also, Intel has committed to not doing stock buybacks and has stopped the dividends completely. They may resume at some point, but it's unlikely to be soon.
What are you even talking about? Jeff had a hand in TPU, which is so successful that all other AI companies are trying to clone this project and spin up their own efforts to make custom AI chips.
In my case I realized I achieved a whole new level when I tried to do all of the proofs by myself. I used to read the whole subject a few times and after that, I would go one definition/proof at a time and first to recall the statement and then try to do the proof by myself. By doing that you indirectly achieve all of what the article says.

A nice thing I realised is that once I did that, almost all of the exercises that were complex before for me, turned out to be straightforward. It was like a cheat code where I almost did not need to do any exercises.

I used to teach at the uni at several levels, and every year I would ask if anyone tried to recall the proofs of the theorems at home. and no one did. They were always shocked when I told then they should do it.
Reading this spooks me in a weird way.

Not sure if this exactly works, but how about ‘John Doe’?
Only the loan principal is destroyed when it's paid back. The interest goes to the bank, which then gets to spend it or distribute it to shareholders who then get to spend it etc.

Suppose a mechanic takes out a mortgage to buy a house. The bank uses the interest on the loan to pay part of the bank manager's salary. Then the bank manager pays the mechanic to fix his car. Nobody inherently has to take out another loan for the borrower to pay back the bank.

The main reason debt keeps going up is that housing prices keep getting less and less affordable, requiring people to take on more and more debt to buy a house or pay rent.
Neat, something like this was missing in my text-based workflow. Thanks for building !
I think you're taking the intent of "low-code" too literal, or have not worked in an organization of sufficient size for its value proposition to be evident. It's not to solve a solutioning problem; it's to solve an organizational one.

While any "low-code" is marketed as a WYSWG, business friendly solution platform, what it actually is is a way for the business to get access to capabilities IT otherwise gatekeeps as "domain expertise", but fails to actually produce with.

Case-and-point: IT quotes an organization $75 million for 30 projects in fiscal year 20nn. By 20nn+1 IT has completed 5 projects for $75 million. Sick. Org gets "low-code" on their own dime for $1 million, hires a couple "business systems analyst" for a little less, and in 20nn+1.5 has completed 25 projects. In 20nn+3 IT looks incompetent, gets pissed, cries foul, the "business systems analyst" are ingested into IT and taught Java and CRUD circa 1998, and the life-cycle continues.
What domestic jobs? These boondoggles never generate the jobs promised, and even if they did, the per-head cost of the handout is usually enormous compared to the per-head salary.

Second: you don't enhance national security giving a near-monopoly company a giant pile of cash, further solidifying their monopoly, especially when they have a reputation for slacking off the second the teacher turns their back. The only reason Intel has innovated at all is that AMD has been forcing them to.

You realize why Apple switched to Apple Silicon for their laptops and desktops, right? Apple was sick and tired of Intel's incompetence.

They're getting $8BN in taxpayer money damn near immediately after putting out not one but TWO generations of processors that self-destruct.

Why do they self-destruct? Greed and sloth. Intel has been skimping on R&D to goose the numbers for investors, so they've had to keep pumping up clock speeds and voltages to stay relevant against AMD's actual innovation (ex: 3D cache.) Just look at the TDPs for the top chips from Intel and AMD; intel's power consumption is insane, which is hilarious given it used to be the other way around - AMD's athlon chips being huge power hogs. They boosted voltages so high the chips burn themselves out.

On top of this, their GPU lineup isn't remotely competitive, showing they can't innovate to save their lives. The initial drivers for their GPUs were just...hilariously bad given they've been putting out GPU drivers for two decades or so...and the hardware is grossly underwhelming.
Star Trek's McCoy delivers a grim description in "The City on the Edge of Forever", about how primitive 20th century medicine once relied on crude and bloody procedures. I think once lab-grown proteins are common in markets across the world, ethicists and historians will be more free to point to these last 50 years as the most horrific, in terms of inhumane treatment of animals on an amazing scale (I just looked this cheery tidbit up, 166,000 pigs are slaughtered per hour, year round, worldwide.) I'm 100% complicit in this. I eat meat, but for some reason as I get older it's harder for me to keep a comfortable distance from this issue.
I thought Rackspace was dead, but then I looked it up.

It is a public company traded as Nasdaq: RXT, it still has $3B revenue per year but market cap at $600M. For comparison DigitalOcean only has $600M revenue but at $3.5B market cap.

I remember they purchased Slicehost, that was the major competitor against Linode before DO was a thing. And everything since then went down hill. I was hoping Rackspace would provide the infrastructure and BareMetal while Slicehost would be the VPS ( I think Cloud meant something different back then but I may be wrong ).

Time to buyout Rackspace and Make Slicehost Great Again /s
It sounds like you're just doing 'in house' stuff so you don't have to think about how well it will do in the market place. There are huge benefits to that. All you need to do is make sure you keep things as simple as possible, and above all else, make sure you have good ways to thoroughly test everything. Bugs in code are far more embarrassing when it damages the actual company you're working for. So you don't need to worry much about appearances, but just about reliable functionality.
People are going to downvote this but it's the absolute truth. Trump's pardons of obvious criminals are as corrupt and transactional as you can get. In an alternate universe where rule of law actually mattered in the US, Biden should not (and probably would not) have done this, but I will not fault him for trying to protect his son from a fascist administration that's shrieking for revenge.
It is not only Lisp. PostScript is also homoiconic; tokens have values like any other values (and procedures are just executable arrays (executing an array involves executing each element of that array in sequence), which can be manipulated like any other arrays). The {} block in PostScript is a single token that contains other tokens; the value of the token is an executable array whose elements are the values of the tokens that it contains.

Strings don't make it "homoiconic" in the usual way, I think; so, JavaScript does not count.
