Renter's protections is one of those ideas that sound good on paper. Having to keep a non-paying rentee is disastrous for a landlord who is also trying to pay their mortgage.

Sure, some landlords are large real estate companies, but all you're doing is forcing out small landlords and ensuring that large companies own all of the rental properties.

(Like all regulation, it is at a fundamental level pro-monopolistic, favoring large companies that can handle the overhead of complying with the regulation and punishing small players who cannot.)

> Anthropic’s decision to raise the price for Claude 3.5 Haiku isn’t looking great, given the continued competition at the bottom end of the market. Just a few months ago Claude 3 Haiku was the cheapest model available, now it’s hardly worth considering, undercut by even GPT-4o mini.

It's the opposite, Anthropic did the smart thing. The old Haiku 3 was competing with Flash, 4o-Mini and now Nova. And just like you correctly identified, that market has gotten very crowded very quickly.

Haiku 3.5 on the other hand has carved out a great pricing niche on its own. It's quite a lot better than the above models, but significantly cheaper than the flagship ones (Sonnet/4o/Gemini Pro). It's the best choice for many a prompt that falls into that bucket of difficulty.

FWIW, I've been building LLM-based products full-time for more than a year and use all of the named models, haven't had the chance to try Nova and Llama 3.3 yet, curious how they'll hold up. Especially Nova Pro vs Haiku 3.5 vs Llama 3.3.

Edit: Just ran a series of varied real-world language tasks on Nova Pro vs Haiku 3.5. Some were ties, on most Haiku 3.5 performed significantly better, and Nova never won. At this point I see no reason to use Nova Pro for general use besides extremely latency-sensitive usecases.
You could say that insurance creates that environment, and profits from it. Insurance actually makes more money on the big bill, since they just charge whatever premiums are required to pay it plus their percentage. The bigger the better.

And insurance creates the disconnect that allows a price to have no feedback control.

They are happy to collect their income and benefit from the system they create, so they should not be granted any excuses for it's failures.

The poor insurance companies are not the abused parties here.

This is such a problem in security - executives don’t know that and will buy all sorts of security theatre bullshit
Here is a simple example of dspy:

classify = dspy.Predict(f"text -> label:Literal{CLASSES}")

optimized = dspy.BootstrapFewShot(metric=(lambda x, y: x.label == y.label))
.compile(classify, trainset=load_dataset('Banking77'))

label = optimized(text="What does a pending cash withdrawal mean?").label

What this does is optimize a prompt given a dataset (here Banking77).

The optimizer, BootstrapFewShot, simply selects a bunch of random subsets from the training set, and measures which gives the best performance on the rest of the dataset when used as few-shot examples.

There are also more fancy optimizers, including ones that first optimize the prompt, and then use the improved model as a teacher to optimize the weights. This has the advantage that you don't need to pay for a super long prompt on every inference call.

dspy has more cool features, such as the ability to train a large composite LLM program "end to end", similar to backprop.

The main advantage, imo, is just not having "stale" prompts everywhere in your code base. You might have written some neat few-shot examples for the middle layers of your pipeline, but then you change something at the start, and you have to manually rewrite all the examples for every other module. With dspy you just keep your training datasets around, and the rest is automated.

(Note, the example above is taken from the new website: https://dspy.ai/#__tabbed_3_3 and simplified a bit)

> A drug addiction problem is a fast track to homelessness for just about anybody

Also homelessness is a fast track to addiction problems for many people. If you feel that bad you are prone to do anything to make it less bad even briefly.
I can sympathize with this position when the scam is obvious, but what about fraud? It sounds like you were deceived into investing in a scam that was not obvious, at least at first. Ideally regulations and entities like the SEC should prevent that from happening, or at least shut them down before they cause too much damage (better if you get half your money back than none at all).

And even in cases where the scam is obvious (at least to you), I do think there's room to protect less knowledgeable people from themselves, just like there's room to protect addicted gamblers from harming themselves and their families too much.

And overall, for the greater good, maybe it shouldn't be possible to commoditize the creation of new scams, if only so that people would look for better investments (e.g. some that are not negative-sum).
You would be wrong. Any use annotations complicates the language and compiler.

> The sum total of the human-generated knowledge was derived in a similar manner, with each generation learning from the one before and expanding the pool of knowledge incrementally.

Is human knowledge really derived in a similar manner though? That reduction of biological processes to compression algorithms seems like a huge oversimplification.

It's almost like saying that all of of human knowledge derives from Einstein's Field Equations, the Standard Model Lagrangian, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics (what else could human knowledge really derive from?) and all we have to do to create artificial intelligence is just to model these forces to a high enough fidelity and with enough computation.
Well… a couple of things that could be done better in that example:

—⁂—

const [data, setData] = useState<Array<Array<object>> | undefined>();

That type stinks. Kill the undefined bit by giving it an initial value, then you can skip the `?? []` later too; and replace Array<object> with the actual row type, probably naming it, maybe like this:

type Record = [string, number, number, number, number];
const [data, setData] = useState<Record[]>([]);

—⁂—

const params = Object.entries({ aroma, flavor, acidity, sweetness })
.map(([k, v]) => `${k}=${v}`)
.join("&");

No need to construct the query string manually:

const params = new URLSearchParams({ aroma, flavor, acidity, sweetness });

I confess I’m puzzled about this one too, as trailbase.js suggests you know about URLSearchParams, which is what you should use for all typical query string manipulation, parsing and generation.
"Well Waymo" is not DeepMind.

Look. The other poster also said "Waymo" but I'm talking about DeepMind. It's DeepMind that promises to conquer the world with Deep Reinforcement Learning, and it's DeepMind that keeps showing us how great their DRL agents work in virtual worlds, like minecraft or starcraft, or how well they work on Chess and Go, but still haven't been able to demonstrate the application of those powerful learning approaches to real-world environments, except for very strictly controlled ones. Waymo's stuff works in the real world (although they do have remote safety drivers much as they try to downplay the fact) but they're also not pretending that they'll do it all with one big DRL "generalist" agent. That's DeepMind's schtick.

For example, it was, I believe, DeepMind that recently publicised some results about legged robot football, where the robots were controlled by agents trained with DRL in a simulation. That's robot football: two robots (yeah, no teams) kicking a ball in the safest of safe environments: a (reduced-size) football field with artificial grass, probably padded underneath (because robots) and no other objects in the play area (except anxious researchers who have to pull the robots on their feet once in a while). Running in the physical world in principle, but in practice nothing but a tech demo.

Or take the other Big Idea, where they had a few dozen robot arms reaching for various little plastic bits in a (specially-made) box to try and learn object manipulation by real-world DRL. I can find a link to those things if you want, but that robot arm project was a few years ago and you haven't heard anything from them since because it was a whole load of overpromising and it failed.

That kind of thing just doesn't generalise. More than that: it's a total waste of time and money. And yet DeepMind keeps banging the drum. They keep trying to convince everyone and themselves that training DRL agents in virtual environments has anything to do with the real world, and that it's somehow the road to AGI. "Reward is all you need". Yeah, OK.

Btw, Waymo is not using DRL, at least not exclusively. They use all sorts of techniques but from what I understand they do a hell of a lot of good, old-fashioned, manual programming to deal with all the stuff that magickal deep learning in the sky can't deal with.
That is illegal in Romania, all campaign contributions must be declared, even if you're not a willing beneficiary.

To be honest, I couldn't find any proof that the candidate got funded by anyone, and all news articles express opinions of old people in positions of power who don't understand how web platforms work.

If I suddenly decided to print campaign posters myself and gather a group of people to donate to me for doing so, in favour of some random candidate, shouldn't the constitutional court cancel the elections again?... Bad precedent.
That camaraderie should have been built up in the trenches. They must trust you enough to be honest, otherwise they are not your comrades.

The second system effect is the same fundamental mistake repeated at every level. From code to business.

The problem withe the MediaRecorder API is that it saves the current timestamp with the frames. So the video plays at the speed it is created. Therefore you can't use the MediaRecorder API for video processing. That's why I referenced the VideoEncoder API in the prompt.

> As of January 2024, researchers at Oregon State University and the City University of New York estimated that as much as 50–62% of all buildings in the Gaza Strip had been damaged or destroyed. Meanwhile, Israel has claimed only 16% of Gaza buildings were destroyed.

Precision weapons? You're either being willfully ignorant or disingenuous. Do some basic research on the extent of damage in the Gaza strip. The way in which civilians are systematically targeted and executed. Schools, hospitals. Journalists. Medics. Everyone is getting caught up in the crossfire. Women and babies are dying every day. Hundreds of entire family lines wiped out forever. Poverty, starvation, infection. Cultural alienation. Mass, indiscriminate death. Drones which broadcast the sounds of screaming, injured people, and then vaporize curious Palestinians.

This is one of the most well-documented colonial actions in the history of the world. Touch grass. Look at some pictures and videos, if nothing else.

please look at their financials. how much money they spend on salary, remuneration to managers, administrative and finally moonshots.

besides, how would YOU finance to pay around 1200-1800 employees (from my initial online search) salaries that are competitive to Facebook and google or microsoft? why would someone work at mozilla for less money when they could work in the same city at a bigger office for more cash?

now, if mozilla took to employing foreigners, like from asia, they could reduce their salary spend by 5-10 times which would make them less dependent on external funding or employ 5-8 times many people for same money.

point is, building a browser takes money so how will YOU finance the company/non profit if you were given the charge

edit: also, how much would you consider your remuneration be commensurate to the level of work you are putting in?
Not everybody has that
> That is easy. But how about ruining someone financially? Is this an act of violence? Could it be an act of violence under certain conditions?

Ok, so ChatGPT got some things wrong. If everyone began posting how ChatGPT got something wrong, we will be here all day. I can't see how this article is newsworthy.

And the article has constant literary interruptions like this:

"I set down my teacup and put my face in my hands."

"There was an almost infinitesimal pause before ChatGPT chirped"

"I closed my eyes and contemplated my life choices."

"I narrowed my eyes as ChatGPT brightly informed me"

I don't know what the author is trying here but there is a time and place to use literary pauses like these and I don't think, this article is that place. The article reads like a weird cross between a rant, technical article and a wannabe literary piece.
In principle, I agree, which is one of the reasons that I think this was a horrible decision.

On the other hand, the court has just shown that it's willing to redo the entire electoral process if the elections don't go the right way. Călin Georgescu will certainly not be allowed to run again. One of the other hard right wing candidates (Diana Șoșoacă) had already been disqualified, for even flimsier reasons, and I don't expect she will be allowed to register either. There is only one far right candidate left (George Simion) - I suspect that they can find reasons to exclude him too.

Whether people might rise up against this or not is unclear. I was dreading some violence last night, but not even a handful of those who had voted with Georgescu, or the far right parties, have taken to the streets (thankfully) so who knows.

Don't assume that present charging speeds will be the typical experience in even a five year horizon.

Hyundai's eGMP platform will get you charged up in less than 20 minutes typically. Tesla and others are a little closer to 30 minutes per charge, right now.

But that could halve in 5 years, conceivably. Are you really going to invest in land on a 10+ year time frame when the tech is still evolving?
"where nazis were (mostly) homegrown"

Well, Nazis were the german flavour of the rise of ultranationalism, racism and fascism, but the movement existed in all of europe. With the first peak in the civil war in spain.

And Hitler was very clear on his plans for the jews and for war to conquer in eastern europe. Anyone siding with him, did make their choices and could have known the consequences. (same goes for anyone siding with Stalin).

"No good choices"

So probably yes. And I won't claim I would have decided much better, if I would have lived in that time. So I am not trying to judge from moral high ground.

But the choice was never binary between Stalin and Hitler, or only in extreme situations maybe. Because you know, after the war in germany - there were also no Nazis anymore. Never have been. They just had no choice. Followed orders. Were afraid of the communists. So definitely not responsible for anything.

> Causing intentional harm is a pretty good definition of violence, don't you think?

Since the topic is shell, can I shamelessly ask a question?

I'm an SRE for a service everyone has heard of. I have inadvertently pasted into my terminal prompt multiple times now, which has attempted to run each line as a command. I see there is a way to disable this at the shell for each client, but what about at the server level? This way I could enforce it as a policy, and not have to protect every single user (including myself) individually. Said differently, I want to keep everyone who ssh into a prod machine from being able to paste and execute multiple lines. But not forbid paste entirely.

The only thing I could think of would be to recompile bash and detect if the input was from a tty. If so, require at least 200ms between commands, and error out if the threshold exceeded. This would still allow the first pasted command to run, however.
And yet... if you create user using a display name e.g. Peter Čenička in AAD and deploy a PC with intune you will get home folder called PeterČenička.[0] It breaks SO MANY things. And no, that beta UTF8 system wide setting does not work with 3rd party apps.

I just dont understand why they dont use part of the email address as the home folder name.

Indeed. Somehow the rest of us needs a test!
Depending on the thickness and composition of the atmosphere, convection may be sufficient to prevent ice buildup.

The thing about a tidally locked planet, and about marginally habitable planets in general, is that whatever the average, there are a wide range of surface conditions and often the spectrum is large enough that some subset of them are habitable.
And you do not see any weakness in this?

The election will be done again, and people can vote their favorite person again, this time with the full knowledge of who is behind them.

It sucks that authorities did nothing before the elections, but I suspect that disqualifying the fascist guy because of fraud and interference would have produced the exact same complains from his fans and the Ruzzian trolls.

Right? You would claim that he should be allowed to continue until the courts will decide it was fraud, and until the appeals are done and until the complains to the EU court are also complete.

I know, I did not said Putin is communist, he is a criminal
but many Russians and some in Ukraine are still soviets in mentality,
my point is that Russans think that criminals are good leaders, because they are though and Ruzzia needs to be tough and reclaim half of Europe because some fake history book said that Ruzzia has the right to dominate this people.

The orbital speed of such a planet would be extreme, something like 300 km/s.

So far, I couldn't find any evidence that he received donations directly. All the bank statements and transactions that have been made public show that other people grouped together and did those things to his benefit.

Old people in positions of power, the so called "Supreme Defence Council of Romania", don't really understand how web platforms work. They released an opinion, which weighs a lot tbh, as did others. But I could find actual proof that the candidate spent any money, neither did the authorities, so far. If there's anyone guilty of breaking RO electoral law, it's the volunteers in the link I posted.
And I saw some chart of percentage claims denied that said KP denied the least at 7% while UHG the most or almost, at something like 39%.

Even if that were true that KP deny the least, it ends up meaning nothing if they also own the hospital who they graciously never deny claims from.

Agree on Ripple Energy especially for the way the tax worked on it.

Their solar offer seemingly made even less financial sense, due to the very high cost of paying for your slice of the huge costs of running the national grid. The only reason for going with it would be environmental (effectively subsidising sustainable energy on the grid to displace other sources)
