I am sure we can do better and revisit some misguided regulations. But in general environmental regulation is probably one of the biggest success stories of the last 60 years. I grew up when rivers were green or blue some days, the rivers were dead with an occasional dead fish floating by, going into the water was a serious health risk. The switch to EV is painful, but once people experience clean air in cities again, there is no way anybody will want to go back. I was in Mumbai a few years ago and after two days when I blew my days a pile of black stuff came down and I was short breathed. People complained about unleaded gas and catalytic filters when they introduced. Auto companies told us the world would go under. Seems ignoring them was correct and things worked out for the better
From the perspective of someone on the spaceship, this is absolutely possible by the laws of physics. It's a common misunderstanding that the speed of light is like a highway speed limit that's enforced by the universe. In reality, it means that light always travels at the speed of light and that you can never observe an object traveling faster than that.

However, a key part of relativity is that the laws of physics are the same in every reference frame. If you're on a ship with sufficient fuel, you can keep accelerating forever and cover vast distances. You'll never reach a point where the universe prevents you from accelerating. If it were otherwise, then relativity wouldn't be true - because there would be special rules that apply to people traveling at a certain speed. That's the whole point of relativity is there can't be such laws because there isn't a preferred reference frame in the universe!

However, the more you accelerate away from the earth the longer time will have passed on earth if you turn around and come back.

Here's a calculator you can play with: https://spacetravel.simhub.online

As an example, if you could accelerate at 9.8 m/s (same as gravity - so you could walk around the 'back' of the ship as if in earth gravity), then you could travel 50 light years in 7.7 'ship years'. However, if you turned around and went back to earth 102 years would have passed there, even though you would only be ~15 years older.
Java code has a lot of boilerplate too, consider a "hello world" program, then consider a program split into multiple files in a single directory
I have to ask, "why?" in the spirit of if you're smart enough to write an Oberon on top of Lua and then use that to write a Smalltalk VM then you're certainly smart enough to get around a complicated language and tolerate a lack of some simplicity.
More interested in electrical power than propulsion, in this case.
Great work on the website! Figma is definitely the way to go. Having everything spec’d out beforehand makes implementation and iteration so much easier and faster.
First AI startup studio album
hey, wassap!?

after failing and being rejected multiple times. i decided to work for myself and make a projects, tools, and startups.
i love music from childhood and have 1 years of experience in music production and engineering.
so, to make a breakthrough in startup industry i dropped world’s 1st AI startup studio album "I AM STARTUP" (https://youtu.be/ATNqWmd0JQU) on 27th November 2024. on that date i also launched *officially Open Community (https://theopencommunity.co) (that was founded as an experimental community back to June 2024).

about me in short:

I’m Ibrohim Abdivokhidov (https://www.linkedin.com/in/abdibrokhim/).

I do Computer Science at New Uzbekistan University. I’m focused on a wide range of research areas including, Neuroscience and AI. Currently, I am doing research on optimizing ASCON (https://ascon.iaik.tugraz.at/) as a part of thesis project.

In the past, as an undergraduate research assistant, I authored a paper on Machine Learning. Published by Springer and Scopus indexed, ICSDI 2024. (paper: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-97-8345-8_...). I have 5 more papers under peer review.

Then, I got an offer from Souk, an Algerian e-commerce startup. There, I worked for roughly 9 months as a mobile developer.

I also worked as an AI Research intern at HeadOn (https://www.headon.ai/). My team did research on over 30 papers. We mostly focused on; “Human-AI collaboration for toughest political discussions”.

Recently, I presented my paper at the DKU 2024 conference. It was about; “Enhancing trade and investment patterns in Central Asia using AI”. (https://dku.kz/en/statya/dku-international-conference-centra...).

I am an Open Source contributor at TruthSuite (formerly Anarchy Labs) (https://www.truthsuite.com/) (500+ stars), Langflow (https://www.langflow.org/) (35K+ stars).

At present, I am the 1st AI/ML API Regional Ambassador in Central Asia (https://aimlapi.com/). I help developers to integrate AI tools to their workflows.

I mentored over 200,000 developers.

I’m the founder CEO at Open Community. We build Open Source AI-powered projects and tools for people. We also write comprehensive and step-by-step tutorials on those projects and share across socials like LinkedIn, Medium, Dev, and our Discord community. So anyone, whether he or she is a beginner, a professional developer, or just a tech enthusiast, has a chance to learn how to build real stuff with AI.

lol, it went too long anyway.
TigerBeetle in Your System Architecture
Oi! :)

I would greatly appreciate a brief video or screenshot of the automatically generated NFSe on your website, as it would significantly boost my credibility regarding the tool.

While this may not pose a significant issue for your audience, I currently lack pt_BR support on my keyboard. As a result, I am unable to search for "São Paulo", since searching for "Sao Paulo" yields no results.

Best of luck on your journey!
Or, just don't use JSON for config files. There are plenty of human-friendly config file options, so there is no reason to frankenstein JSON in this way.

It is very important to have at least some kind of counterweight vs OpenAI/sama predicting AGI for 2025/2026.
> The hardest part of supporting IPv6 was fixing your address parsing?

That was actually a non-trivial part of implementing IPv6. Sure RFC 2732 had come out a few years earlier, but we weren't parsing URLs so it was not clear if it applied to our use-case.

All the rest that was required for us to support IPv6 was quite trivial. This was the only thing we had to spend time on.

> The reason why this isn't a good take is that IP address parsing is a standard function of every standard library on the planet.

Ok, I stand to be corrected, after all none of us were network programming experts.

How do you parse a IPv6 address, including the port number if present, using Boost 1.35 or C++03 STL? Note should run on Windows XP, as well as Linux and OSX of similar era. Does your solution require the format specified in RFC 2732?

Anyway my point still stands. There main friction to adopting IPv6 is not the wire format, it's everything else they changed.
Per capita plastic pollution is highest in a handful of Asian countries, but for CO2 you have a point. Plastic pollution is caused by just a couple of countries.

There’s a classic sci fi novel called Tau Zero about a Bussard ramjet breaking so they can’t turn it off, so they keep asymptotically accelerating toward c and experiencing more and more time dilation. Won’t spoil the rest.
> I feel environmental regulation is going the same path. There is a lot of resistance against improving things just because. Only when something really bad happens, people wake up. But even often nothings happens.

Also after something gets improved there is eventually pressure to roll it back. Similar thing with financial regulation: something bad happens, then there is bipartisan legislation to try to keep it from happening again, and then maybe a decade later that legislation is repealed or weakened...and the cycle starts all over.

I'm kind of fed up with it. My current job is slowly winding down and I'll probably retire when it ends, but if I decide not to retire I'm going to be way more open to jobs that in the past I would have ruled out over ethical concerns.

For once I'd like to see what it's like on the side providing the screwing instead of the side getting screwed.

So as long as I don't have to do anything that is actually illegal, I'm paid well enough that whatever havoc the work causes in the economy won't interfere with my lifestyle, and I'm far enough from the front lines that the I won't have to do things like testify in front of Congress and won't have to worry about angry mobs showing up at my house then no problem.
But they can store hashes of SSS shards, and coordinate the revealing of secrets by individuals who don't have access to those secrets on their own.

None of the people I dm'd didn't notice it :( a buzee packed full of docs is likely a cautionary tale about the costs of homogeneous tech communities.

Code's great though. Love the trend of svelte used in desktop-focused apps.
I feel I gave up early too but oh well, I sat on it for too long. I hope somebody else can make something good out of it!

Once I had a more reliable foundation, I planned on adding a tiny LLM that can run locally and parse user’s natural queries in a manner that the app can understand.

I didn’t really have a workflow to do anything since I am not a professional developer. I would just hack around in a dev branch, merge it with main and create a build when I was happy with it.
of course it matters. not all workflows are worth preserving at all costs. there could be a really important trade off lurking, I'm not familiar, which is why I asked!

Nah, it is mostly local plastic from what I can tell. And I come from a country which is a net importer of waste, not exporter. And China is not the issue, it is mostly the Phillipines. We cannot solve this other than by payibg for and forcing a couple of countries to solve their issue.

> Charge is conserved, so if your energy input is in the form of (say) a photon, you'll have to produce equal numbers of positive and negative charged particles.

Charge alone doesn't seem like it'd be a fundamental limitation here, considering that (for instance) antineutrons exist.

> Baryon and lepton number are almost conserved

Is the "almost" here something other than the Hawking radiation "one half falls in a black hole and the other half doesn't"?
That's kind of a trivial observation -- if chess AI were predictable to grand masters, then those GMs could play like the AI and thus wouldn't lose to it.

Itchy skin like what people get in dermatitis. The main crux (without digging into the weeds on the second crux regarding JAK signalling probably only interesting/comprehensible for immunologists) of the article is that they weren't getting asthma in their mice that were genetically engineered to get asthma like a human with a similar genetic background. This was because the lab environment is too clean and the mice weren't getting exposed to the allergen. When they introduced an allergen to these mice then they got asthma as expected. So in this case humans are unreliable models of this disease in mice because humans live in highly variable and dirty environments where they might get exposed to environmental conditions that drive certain phenotypes based on their genotype. so when you go and model these genotypes in the lab without an understanding of the environmental background, you might not get the phenotypes you expect to find based on those genotypes.
at some point you can't or won't be allowed to do any validations

I'd rather spend my time writing the code myself because it is enjoyable, then spend the same amount of time gathering context and verbosely explaining it in text to an AI

> Highly recommend providing lots of context + breaking down the problem more.

I don't have to do this with a human, I can delegate and know they will on their own. Also, the AI will make the same mistake if I come back a week later, a human learns online. This is at the core of lost time and I don't think AIs are close to this level without an advancement that takes us beyond transformers
> they can create substitutes that compete with the data they're trained on.

If I'm an artist and copy the style of another artist, I'm also competing with that artist, without violating copyright. I wouldn't see this argument holding up unless it can output close copies of particular works.

breaking the law continues to be a good form of monetization
Inertia. It works and does not cause any problems. Users just open, edit, save and commit config changes from the UI of the configuration editor, which handles the SCCS part behind the scenes.

We could migrate it all to Git, but unlike with source code, we do not branch or merge config, and there are no clear benefits to a migration to justify the effort and the risk.
Nice to see this finally after 15 years.
It does work fully autonomously. The fact that you are "supervising it" is a lie to regulators. No one has the reaction time to take the wheel and get in control of the car in the event of a situation where the autopilot fails. people don't even have the reaction time to do that when they are already in control of a car and something unfolds in front of them.
We’ve since re-enabled it after addressing the underlying issue.

From my understanding this not only removes tokenization but also sampling correct?

Sampling can be a pain point of LLMs, but they also can enable interesting usages, like forcing grammar so the model always outputs valid JSON or tuning temperature to get more varied distribution, XTC sampling, etc.

What would be the equivalent of these in a BLT?

I can only think of providing the decoder an extra input of allowed/prohibited bytes and run the decode over and over until it outputs something valid, maybe there's a simpler and more obvious approach.
When wholesale collapse does come for humanity later this century, things are going to get very ugly for people in terms of the lack of modern dentistry and medical care.

Tangential, but I'm a subscriber to a YouTube channel called VRF - virtual railfan - that shows essentially "traffic cams" of trains throughout North America. People do take selfies for the cam but always from a safe location.

Over the years, the cams have caught some extraordinary events: maintenance equipment starting fires, trains on fire, numerous derailments, and, I'm not kidding, probably about 100 occurrences of people driving onto the tracks and getting stuck. A disproportionate number of them occurred at Ashland, VA. Which makes me think it's a bug in the traffic design.
Anecdotally speaking it drives around LA county better than waymo. Maybe the weather isn't bad but the road markings especially on cement roads are often pretty shit compared to other parts of the country and hard for me to even see at night with my own human eyes.
Not much. Banning old ICE cars does but modern ICE cars does not pollute that much more than electric. A lot of the pollution comes from the tyres.
This would make sense if 2.0.3 was released long enough ago for people to start using and relying on a bug, but it was released less than 2 months ago...
What like other drivers too?
The problem is that regulations needn’t be all or nothing.

Don’t throw stuff in rivers. Ok.

Presumably human interpreters aren't prone to hallucinating things when providing their services, right? That's probably one of the key differentiators.
One way of thinking about the "Approximate Monotonic Constraint" is that you're running a quick and dirty edge detector on the entropy. Ie, you're clipping based on the gradient of per-byte entropy wrt timestep compared to detecting an edge based on gradient of per-pixel intensity wrt pixel coordinates. It would be interesting to look at the raw sequences of per-byte entropies to see how strongly these sorts of "edges" correlate with human interpretable boundaries (words, prefixes, suffixes, etc).
All the videos I've seen looked, moved, and sounded suspiciously like helicopters, complete with blade slap.
There's the second problem that the temperature and power are directly related, so if you want the temperature low enough to not photo-ionise stuff much (6eV/70,000 K) then be power output is 114 microwatts.

But consider the "monkeycide paradox". If we start a nuclear war, and kill every single primate on the planet, does the universe cease to exist? Does time start running in reverse? Maybe time would go back to before we nuked everyone out of existence, and life would be like one of those endless time loop anime? Will matter start spewing out of black holes instead of going in because there was no monkey there to watch it? Would it be enough if a dog observed the universe? (they're "like our family" after all) or a squid? What about a yeast cell?

Obviously this is hyperbole 8-) but I think the point is clear. If anyone really believes that the existence of primate life on our little planet "observing the universe" is what makes all physical processes advance, they have some serious issues of overcharged ego.

Of course a theory doesn't have to be completely correct to be useful. Old ideas of heat as a fluid have been supplanted, but they still helped design working systems in their time. Modern ideas of quantum mechanics, as incomplete as they are, still model a concept of "tunneling" that's sufficiently accurate to make semiconductors work.

Or, you can just run with the Rovelli quote from the article: “What they’re telling me is bullshit” 8-)

One should view antimatter propulsion or energy as the ultimate battery. Why? Because antimatter needs to be manufactured. There's no natural source to mine. So whatever energy you get out, you had to spend at least that (because of thermodynamics, it's really more) to make the antimatter in the first place.

So where do you get that energy in the first place? Everything leads back to solar power. In this case, since we're talking about far-future tech, we return to what I consider the most likely path for humanity: the Dyson Swarm. This is the sort of thing you can do with a truly mind-bogglingly large energy budget.

And this matters because the energy budget, regardless of the energy source, for interstellar travel, is so ridiculously large.

You quote these terms a lot, seemingly as responses to an argument. Just saying the other person is suffering D-K and should use Occam's Razer is itself not a winning argument. If you are trying to make an argument, don't just state something outlandish, then tell the other person 'use Occam's Razer' and think you won something.

Try using a more formal approach, state something more tangible, some premises, and follow by some point-to-point logic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument

If you are going to start so far outside normal conventions, try providing a little more background, a setup for the argument, then make a case for some point.

This can all seem difficult with these short internet arguments. But since you already put out so much text it shouldn't be a problem, maybe this would be more productive.
What were the most difficult problems you faced, if it wasn’t search?
You have a solid intuition, in addition to the usual efficiency losses, a large amount (20%-50% would be usual, up to 80% in some cases) of the energy released during annihilation is in the form of... neutrinos. I don't foresee a realistic means of harnessing that energy any time soon, even where "soon" indicates quite a stretch of time.
Every TSR module from the the golden age of D&D had maps. Some were continental, others were regional. Some modules had city or village maps. And all had dungeon maps. These setting and maps heavily influenced the early round of computer games such as Wizardy and Ultima and Rogue.
Even if tomorrow a giant space-maid robot came by and stole much of our atmospheric CO2 we'd have to eventually make do without fossil fuels. Because if we continue they'd all be oxidized to the lowest energy state (CO2) one day. Giant space-maid or not. Is it that terrible to start a little earlier? Inconvenient, sure, I'll give you that. Massively inconvenient.

The harm is not just half a second to delete an unwanted email.

There is also the cost of: seeing that I have an unread email, switching to my email app, and working out that it’s spam.

If this gets normalised, it will not be just one spam email. There will also be the time to classify and delete spam emails from everyone else who feels entitled to spam me.

There is also the cost of incorrectly deleting a non-spam email, because you’re on a hair trigger because of all the spam you get.
