Justice is subjective. What is a crime is subjective.

Hence we have laws - an eternal, never perfect project to find an agreed definition of justice.

I believe in this case they aren't waiting for it to mature. They use what's called LVL (laminate veneer lumber) which is basically thin sheets of the wood glued together (think plywood but thicker) and then recut into dimensional sizes. The end product is both stronger and straighter than conventional lumber. And because you don't need a large cross section (almost literally any size will do), you can have a pretty short planting -> harvesting cycle.
It's been a long time since I've paid attention to that world, but AFAIK, PEPs are still used and essential equipment for internet-style communication (i.e. TCP over IP) via GEO satellites.

It looks like in this 2022 blog post evaluating latency and throughput over Starlink, they concluded that PEPs were not being used in the Starlink network (and probably unnecessary) due to the lower latency characteristics from use of LEO satellites. They also mention that PEPs are (still) commonly employed by GEO-satcom based operators.

There has been a huge increase in context windows recently.

I think the larger problem is "effective context" and training data.

Being technically able to use a large context window doesn't mean a model can actually remember or attend to that larger context well. In my experience, the kinds of synthetic "needle in haystack" tasks that AI companies use to show how large of a context their model can handle don't translate very well to more complicated use cases.

You can create data with large context for training by synthetically adding in random stuff, but there's not a ton of organic training data where something meaningfully depends on something 100,000 tokens back.

Also, even if it's not scaling exponentially, it's still scaling: at what point is RAG going to be more effective than just having a large context?

In 2008 I was one of two software architects at Linden Lab (makers of Second Life.) We were re-factoring our "organic" UDP based virtual world protocol and figured it was in everyone's best interest to publish an informational RFC about what we were doing. It made good political sense cause it allowed us to tell the "we're trying to build an open virtual world" story we thought would take us to the next level. That is, we were trying to be more "open" than "closed" and we wanted to tell that story.

We thought it would be a simple process to publish one or two 100 page informational RFCs, get a bit of feedback and be done with it in a few months.

Two years later we had a working group and several mature internet drafts. I won't go into the drama about why the IDs never turned into RFCs, but my advice...

Never let anyone talk you into chartering a working group when all you want to do is publish an informational RFC. Also, when dealing with large multi-national companies with more lawyers and sales-people than engineers, make sure you get everything (notarized documents indicating they disclaim IP interests in the area of the internet draft) in writing first. Do not depend on them saying "hey, at the end of the process we're going to have to disclaim IP in this field anyway, so why would we lie to you?" They will wait until the last possible moment and then fail to disclaim their IP, scuttling the RFC process. I guess it's just in their nature.
Good! The world is a better place without them. Anytime that is true I will be happy.
That's not necessarily true. There are many companies that have both end user products and B2 products they sell. There are a million specific use cases that OpenAI won't build specific products for.

Everyone knows it but it's impressive how often the media focus is made heavily on the businesses paying bribes while disregarding the government functionaries actively extorting those bribes, or at least happily accepting them and using mechanisms to keep them flowing.

Aside from these governments no longer doing that, what should private interests do, cease all investment and business in certain countries?
Was going to point out the same thing - the original article's solution is losing timestamps and possibly ordering. They also are losing some compressibility by converting to a structured format (JSON). And if they actually include a lot of UUIDs (their diagram is vague on what transaction IDs look like), then good luck - those don't compress very well.

I worked at a magnificent 7 company that compressed a lot of logs; we found that zstd actually did the best all-around job back in 2021 after a lot of testing.

Dead Internet Theory?
A beloved family member is convinced that a terrible idea that they have found online is real and true. They believe they have evidence in the sense of providing links to supportive online content. I have been trying to connect with them, and find a way to help them. Their current state is distraught and anxious. Just now I was thinking that maybe helping them to understand that anything online is suspect, "take it with a grain of salt!", which is something I learned early, last millennium, would be helpful. I specifically and definitely(!) remember hearing about the dead internet theory in 2012, yet, I can't find any good references from then! I've googled, archive.org'd (unskillfully), and even thought to check Yandex, but balked at enabling js. Here's my question: can anyone here provide an origin or references for the "Dead Internet" theory? (That predate 2016, which is when Wikipedia says the idea occurred)
We will look into this. We've tried it before, but it took too long to build the index.
the thing is, theory one could happen so often that it is quite strange we had just one pandemic like COVID while theory two fits much better the experience we had. If you apply Occam's Razor to this problem it is quite difficult to think the theory one is correct. It is the best one to keep society in a fear loop tho.
It’s more complicated than that, though. There’s a middle ground where more affordable housing absolutely attracts residents and causes a housing shortage.

It’s more obvious in neighborhoods. Think of areas in Brooklyn where luxury housing gets built. People see their friends moving there and rich people amenities moving in, and bid up the price of existing, cheaper housing.

That can happen with cities too. Your friends move to City X because it’s cheap, you visit and love it, move there even though it’s not as cheap anymore. The influx of new residents creates new amenities including jobs, housing doesn’t keep up, now it’s more expensive.

> Does that mean if members of a subgroup eat lots of chocolate, but also have much higher BMIs, because they also eat lots of everthing else, they could have a lower adjusted risk for type 2 diabetes, even if they actually have a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes

They have a lower risk compared to others with similarly high BMI but don't consume dark chocolate.

BMI is a risk factor for T2D so to tease out the effectiveness of a given proposed remedy, you need to compare like to like, i.e compare people of similar BMI that eat dark chocolate and don't eat dark chocolate.
I work there. It’s just a very decentralized place. What you do is driven by a tiny branch of the widest, flattest org you’ve ever seen. They’ve added some governance as to what partners can just sign up to do themselves. But it’s all firewalled internally. Idk what people in the next room over are doing to avoid creating conflicts of interest.

I would say a lot of people here are not grounded, but in more of an anxious way than an evil profit minded kind of way (which may sound mythical but I’ve seen it blatantly in other company cultures)

I’m curious why you would move to Gitlab.

Nothing they’ve done since they were created has ever moved them in a more open source friendly direction, and they’ve broken a ton of promises both implicit and explicit along the way.

GitHub OTOH has only become more open source friendly (minus the AI stuff, but I suspect Gitlab is no better on that front).
> I'd say that good engineers becoming good managers (esp. upper managers) is the exception, not the rule.

Good managers are exceptions, period. Still, good engineers are leaps and bounds more likely to be effective as managers, even if they make managerial mistakes. This is probably even more true for high level executives than line managers.

There's a common bigco school of thought that does not say this explicitly, but believes "nerds are bad managers," so if you are good at engineering you're less likely to be good at management, so let's go hire pro managers (that end up being schmoozers and less technical). In my experience, the less technical managers have been bozos AND bad at management.

I am surprised at the number of people who think this has no market.

If this improves employee productivity by 10%, this would be a great buy for many companies. Personally, I'll buy this in an instant if this measurably improves over Claude in code generation abilities.

Naive hope. The regrowing axons would have to decussate (cross over or not correctly) at the optic chiasm.

That is beyond highly unlikely in a transplanted eye.

And then the growing axons would also have to grow into the correct layers and roughly the correct retinotopic regions of the lateral geniculate or superior colliculus.

I have been a consistent critic of Intel on here.

But a company like Intel can't be spun up/replaced on anything less than even more subsidies and probably 10 years of nondelivery/noncompetitiveness. A chip foundry and chip design of this level takes a long time to reach competence. Hell, if you are 1 generation behind status quo, Intel shows it can take 3 years to catch up, if then.

This company isn't a struggling retailer in a sea of retailers (Sears) or some rando restaurant chain selling potato skins, blooming onions, and nachos (TGIFridays).

This is a top-line chip fabricator, in a geopolitical environment where supply lines/shipping lines are under threat in the Pacific, demographic collapses in China, Japan, and South Korea are underway, and a president that wants to start a tariff war.

National security concerns underline Intels importance. It isn't some chopshop private equity spreadsheet play. If you split it you need functional mission-based companies.

Intel has something like a dozen fabs. I would subdivide those into the lines of business their process nodes can serve, from embedded / industrial stuff, board chipsets, whatever.

Identify the process nodes desperately needed for economic protection from a hostile/collapsing China (same thing basically in economic impact). We need state of the art, so the latest and n-1 fabs get wrapped up, but we likely need a boatload of second and third tier node production as well.

I think Intel's fabs can be split in the n-2 and n-3 nodes into two competing companies, because the US doesn't need monopolies, it needs competition, and that will be the path to far better utilization of subsidies and speeding up production independence from the Asian rim.

I cannot believe Intel has failed at integrated graphics for so long. I'd like a competitor to NVidia besides AMD.

Setting up functional subsidiaries like this will absolutely not happen with private equity chopshops, all run by the same financial illusionists that have crushed Intel and Boeing.

But that's not how the oligarchy works. It'll be something that maximizes concentration of the subsidy check by the same incompetents that "manage" Intel right now, and the subsidy will be squandered.

I cannot believe a Boeing fuckhead is now the interim CEO. Nothing will go well, these people are survivalist lizards that care about their careers and stock options and parachutes. That Boeing guy likely engineered the ousting, he's a slimy survivor of corporate Machiavellianism.

I invite him to prove me wrong, the country needs it.
> they concluded that PEPs were not being used in the Starlink network

That makes sense, given that they're probably most useful for high-latency networks. But what I find quite surprising is that Starlink does nothing about the 1-2% packet loss, as described in TFA; I'd really have expected them to fix that using an ARQ at a lower layer.

Then again, maybe that's a blessing – indiscriminate ARQs like that would be terrible for time critical things like A/V, which can usually tolerate packet loss much better than ARQ-induced jitter.

Thinking about it, that actually strengthens the case for PEPs: They could improve TCP performance (and maybe things like QUIC?), while leaving non-stream oriented things (like non-QUIC UDP) alone.

Maybe Starlink just expects BBR to eventually become the dominant TCP congestion control algorithm and the problem to solve itself that way?

> And what do you think concentrates jobs in ever-densifying cities?

It's the areas with the least available housing that get the most jobs, so the answer is "anything but housing".

Ignoring China is a total cop out, because it's pretty much the only location in the world that currently has a significant housing surplus.

For some reason when Apple moved to their own SOC I knew this would be one of the nails in the death of the company. A few other blunders on their part and here we are.
Often, it's better to see the IPv6 address space as 64+a few bits instead of 128 bits, because a lot of the common ways to choose an IP address for a device defines the entire last 64 bit, so subnets smaller than /64 (i.e. prefixes larger than /64) are often impractical.

Before privacy extensions and temporary addresses, one common way was to take the 48 bit Ethernet MAC address of the device/interface and pad it up to 64 bit. Nowadays it's all more random-ish.

2^64 is still a very large number, and the article already correctly points out that this allocation is still just a drop in the ocean.
