>For example, our systems sometimes failed to flag violating content when the user asked Claude to translate from one language to another. Clio, however, spotted these conversations.

Why do they even consider translation of existing content "harmful", policy-wise? The content already exists. No machine translator I know would refuse translating something based on the content. That makes their language models unpredictable in one of their major use cases.
What you're describing isn't that much different than using cryptographic signatures. Give up control of the chip and let em write whatever they want to it, but only use the data if it was signed by some private key. This is better for libre too, because you can manage your own keys (presuming you can get root access to whatever low level controller reads and loads the flash).

Doesn’t systemd-resolved do this by default now, so this is a non-issue?
Starbucks lighter roasts (Blonde and Willow) are not oily. I understand why Starbucks is a good reference but just about any Southern Italian style dark roast ends up with oily beans.

The problem with Starbucks coffee from an espresso point of view is that you don't know when they were roasted and chances are it was more than a couple weeks ago.

Although, staleness isn't always a problem, especially for blends with Robusta.

I speak three languages on top of my own native language and never felt that way at all. In my opinion it's just a weird idea coming from people who like to overthink things.

Hmmm, conspiracy theory time, all speculative:

The TPM 2.0 requirement for Windows 11 was to offload compute tasks from the cloud. Make end-users process their own analytics, particularly with the AI-based workloads based on private models and which would be expensive to do in the cloud.

The NPU requirement will give capability and TPM requirement will provide obfuscation of workload contents from analysis. End users won't be able to analyze exactly what or how their own machine is processing their data on Microsoft's behalf.
Likewise, except QB45 :)
I'm curious whether the whole tree of life being related plays some part in cross-species adoption (and even animal behaviour in general???).

In the sense that genes don't 'want' anything, but selection creates a pressure towards overall adaptation and survival... a lion shares a lot of genes with a leopard. Is it pro-genetic-survival in some very broad sense for a lioness to care for a baby leopard? I guess not, if adults of those species compete to the death... but many species don't seem to do a lot of murdering, beyond predation for food. Animals sometimes seem quite incurious about other activity close to them, except when they need to eat. Could there be some small selection pressure towards live-and-let-other-DNA-live?
Is Hackintosh even usable these days after the transition to ARM? I've been wondering if that will kill it or if the new Windows on ARM machines from Qualcomm will revive the market.

Just feels like too much special magic in Apple's hardware. But who knows?

FTC Sues Southern Glazer's for Illegal Price Discrimination
Indeed, it has become the LLM equivalent of IBM, as in -- "No one ever got fired for choosing LangChain". A certain well-known ML person even runs a course on LangChain, as if it's a "fundamental" thing to know about LLMs. I was also surprised/disappointed to see that the otherwise excellent "Hands-on Large Language Models" book from O'Reilly has extensive examples using this library.

In Apr 2023 we (CMU/UW-Madison researchers) looked into this lib to build a simple RAG workflow that was slightly different from the canned "chains" like RetrievalQAConversation or others, and ended up wasting time hunting docs and notebooks all over the place and going up and down class hierarchies to find out what exactly was going on. We decided it shouldn't have to be this hard, and started building Langroid as an agent-oriented LLM programming framework.

In Langroid you set up a ChatAgent class which encapsulates an LLM-interface plus any state you'd like. There's a Task class that wraps an Agent and allows inter-agent communication and tool-handling. We have devs who've found our framework easy to understand and extend for their purposes, and some companies are using it in production (some have endorsed us publicly). A quick tour gives a flavor of Langroid: https://langroid.github.io/langroid/tutorials/langroid-tour/
Been there. I don't have advice, only commiseration.

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about the incredible conveniences we have at our disposal. Yet there are still many places around the world today which do not have clean water, let alone hot clean water, immediately, whenever. Refrigeration, painkillers, free time for hobbies, arts, and sports.

Once you start thinking about all the things you already have, asking for more seems selfish. All I wish for is these 'basic' conveniences for everybody in the world, not just me and my peers.

From what I can tell, Elon's biggest impact is pushing aside traditional and conservative management and being willing to take larger business risks, allowing the already incentivized engineers who already know the problems they need to solve at paypal, tesla, spacex, solarwinds etc... tackle the problems they needed to to make a change.

In this case, the incentive is there, engineers are working on it, but businesses are hesitant to scale up manufacturing and supply if they can't predict the future demand. Musk might actually be able to help here, if only because his willingness to lose money to get things done.
Hm. Seems very C++ oriented. Talks about specific keywords of C++ and their semantics. Not even mentioned "actor" in the whole document. "immutable" not found.

Seems rather like an very incomplete view of a C++ programmer, wanting to raise it to "systems programmer".

President Kennedy picked the goal of landing a man on the Moon because the Soviets had already handily beaten the US at everything else.

The US in the space race was like that meme of a guy standing in last place on the awards podium, bathing himself in champagne.

I also wouldn't necessarily discount the effect of losing someone like Korolev to the Russian space program. From what I understand, the Russians were so hamstrung by bureaucracy and politics that the loss of someone actually competent in a position of power could very well have devastated the future of the program. Look at the debacle that was the Vanguard project in the US, for instance, which was mostly the result of ruthless cost-cutting from higher ups who considered rockets to be a waste of time and money for any purpose other than delivering nuclear weapons. In a more centralized system like the USSR, the damage caused by political meddling can be more difficult to mitigate, I think.

I have never seen that anywhere at houses I visited in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, a few US.

I am not saying that this is not a thing, it is just that "so many" depends on the demographics.

It’s called failing upwards, and is not at all constrained to Silicon Valley.

> One of the reasons the phenomenon persists (…) is because hiring managers, decision-makers, even voters can be easily “seduced” by characteristics incompatible with good leadership, such as overconfidence.

> (…)

> Once an individual is promoted, they become more visible to management, recruiters and other leaders; experience on a resumé begins to hold more value than actual performance outcome. And perhaps most importantly, once an employee is promoted, bosses become invested in that person’s success because it becomes a reflection of their own judgement. Failures are downplayed and losses are spun into wins.

Congratulations on the development and taking pre-orders! You certainly have my attention. I would love to see some scientific breakdown of the grind analysis at certain sizes - just to see how consistent the grinder can be. Some media of you (or someone) actually using the grinder and espresso machine would be really helpful to really get an idea of what a total flow looks like. I am especially curious about boiling and adding water.

Will definitely be saving for future reference when I need to upgrade my current grinder.
Love seeing how the optimization parameters were different back then, that is, size constraints were more important than loading speeds, even though both drives and CPUs were much slower back then.

Ideally companies like this that make games keep all the original assets and make things like image format a build switch, for when the parameters change in the future. That said, back then they released on a DVD (I'm reading it would've taken 12 CDs otherwise), I don't believe any higher capacity storage devices were in the pipeline yet at that point. That said, hard drives back then were around the 100 GB mark, so a multi-dvd release would've been doable.

Ironically nowadays, some games (like the FFVII Remakes) are on two disks again, an install and a run disk, despite them having a 50 or 100 GB capacity nowadays.
Money, money money money money. Mooooneeey.
Some nice things have been introduced to Sweden, definitely, but unfortunately also garlic+onion has gone completely out of control. For instance going to France or Greece or India, countries known for their garlic, and I assume most countries in the world, they still know to not ONLY serve food where the difference in taste is the ratio of garlic to onions. They do still have dishes that use other spices. I asked in a few restaurants in Sweden and they literally did not serve a single garlic-free dish. Swedes went from zero to "old Nordic food is tasteless, so we should put as much garlic+onions as possible in everything to fix that" in ~60 years, and much of that happened in my lifetime in this century.

Ultralytics' README gives me a headache to read lol, for similar reasons you gave. But then the package is called YOLO and the author abbreviated state-of-the-art to SOTA (wat…). It's exactly the kind of "modern" GitHub repository that I like to stay away from lol. My only critique of this README was that it didn't have enough emojis. If you want to truly YOLO, may as well fill half your text with emojis.

This hilariously tech bro optimistic auto-response (made by a bot) from the linked issue (https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/issues/18027#issu...) also gave me a laugh in how out of touch it was with what the issue was.
I think at this point anyone that posts here expects at least half the comments to be about the website
Thank you for posting, this is game changer, I have quite an old phone and this keyboard help me use it less unbearable
Too late, I already left.
To be honest, I think a lot of people realize that what Langchain is doing is providing a small amount of value in the form of a huge amount of abstraction, which means it can be convenient for very simple off the shelf solutions, and a huge headache for anything else. Most people realize the value add if Langchain can be recreated with a few lines of code, and end up just building their own.
I want a new grinder for a long time now, sadly our Mahlkönig works and works and works.
Fluff article, no idea how it landed on front page.
For some who don't subvocalize, these comments are a thought grenade: injecting conscious thought about subvocalization can cause it!

I agree and I'm consistently flabbergasted at how many "entrepreneurs" see this as controversial or even wasteful. It's like the same take that "insurance is a scam". (I would not be surprised of these opinions were strongly correlated)
If there exists a social responsibility then there exists a responsibility to stay. Emigration could very well be abdicating social responsibility, but not irrevocably so, and in the modern world much of your responsibility to those you left behind is still fillable even after emigrating. Dying is irrevocable and puts you entirely out of reach.

This is kind of impossible. One can potentially provide for customized colors, though.
Great work.

One extra thing about plastic that's more pernicious - under heat it breaks down into microplastics and nanoplastics that are awful for our bodies. A lot of research has recently been published about this in 2024.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It seems like we're just beginning to prove it. I keep track of this by watching Mike Mutzel[7] on YouTube, which I recommend to anybody interested in the topic

Does the water touch plastic in any part of the machine?

I really appreciate the analogy.

As an ex-physicist, I was always interested in numbers and the way we approach them. There are "numbers in calculation" where one writes 10^12 and this is just a part of an equation, you do not relate to it at all.

And then there is 1, 2, maybe to 15 that you feel instinctively (you can estimate the number quite well), then it goes worse for 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 10000 where you usually have no idea if you are not used to a reference (say, you are a teacher and you know that your room is 200 people - there is a chance you can estimate that number when you see people outside that room).

Millions and whatnot are just an abstract concept.

So your analogy with bricks and cities is on spot. Thanks!
In some markets at least, like cars, this blandness is a sales optimization. Strong distinct colors are more likely to block a sale than bland generic ones.

It may not be exactly the same in other markets, but there's still a cost to offering additional color variants. It's a cost optimization to offer the fewest colors that are appealing, or at least aren't objectionable, to the widest range of potential buyers.
Still that's awful. I way prefer the Rust way of "simulated exceptions" via Result return types (currently only available in nightly though).
I was once given this ridiculously short deadline to provide a full project. "We're going to be Agile and run this through Agile processes." I hadn't met the stakeholders yet (I would in fact not meet them at all) or even seen requirements. "How soon can you show me something?" I eventually had to pull out the "How fast does ten percent of a Porche run?" question.

Nobody ever wants a prototype. They think they do, the prototype mysteriously has to have all of its features and so on. And then they'll attempt to shove it into production right then and there.

I finished it by the deadline, despite having the flu and a blowing a non-trivial portion of the allowed time on a work trip that wasn't even relevant to my job, one I hadn't wanted to go on.

And then it sat on a shelf, unlooked at by anyone, for seven months. A lot of goodwill was burned up on that move. Fake deadlines mean to me that the person setting the deadlines does not understand urgency, when anything is actually needed, how to prioritize, or anything. It's a big sign that says I Am Not a Good Manager.
I took a brief look into this guide. What surprises me is that it sounds like being generated with AI. Am I the only one who thinks so?

Just read this paragraph:
"In conclusion, while managing output size limitations in LLMs presents significant challenges, it also drives innovation in application design and optimization strategies. By implementing techniques such as context chunking, efficient prompt templates, and graceful fallbacks, developers can mitigate these limitations and enhance the performance and cost-effectiveness of their applications. As the technology evolves, advancements in contextual awareness, token efficiency, and memory management will further empower developers to build more robust and scalable LLM-powered systems. It is crucial to stay informed about these developments and continuously adapt to leverage the full potential of LLMs while addressing their inherent constraints."
By the feeling, it's the same. But it's an important distinction. You cannot change "the people", but you can change yourself. And that is very different. In the first, you are subservient of something much larger than you, and the second is a world of possibilities. Turning your thinking around enables you to have your best possible experience of your own life - or so they say.
In my opinion, utterly useless and I put it in the same bucket as Langchain. Lots of grandiose claims but doesn’t actually solve any problems people have.

I think we are at a stage where people are so eager to build something around LLMs to become the next shovel-maker, that a lot of what is being built doesn’t actually serve anyone’s needs.
I don't really buy this line of reasoning. Nature can be immensely colorful yet soothing to all the senses. You don't need to stuff your house with psychedelic rugs, tapestries and color-changing LEDs for it to have color. Including color does not mean that your space is cluttered or maximalist in style.

We got a designer for a flat that was being renovated, and I realized that I needed to seriously involve myself in the project if the result was not going to turn out a lifeless, gray-white-beige soup.

Now the flat is full of green, (warm) wooden, peach and red elements, giving it a cozy autumn-y vibe. And I don't need to stuff it with props that "pop" to add personality - it has one of its own.

The prevailing wisdom seems to be "Make it all greige, and introduce life with (often pointless) colorful props". I feel this is more offending to the senses than having a tastefully colored environment where you don't need to "add" anything.
What’s the tl;dr?
"The days were lawyers themselves could send you ceise and desist letters just to earn some money are long gone."

I don't think so, just their peak is gone. Lawyers still send letters - but they never had legal weight. It is basically a deal(or exortion), just pay this small sum now, or I have to go to court and then you will have to pay a lot.
It's not a C89 requirement. C89 requires variables to be declared at the top of a block, not a function. So, you could write things like this:

while (...) {
int a = 1, b = 2, c = 3;
printf("%d\n", a + c - b);
}
I've got the OXO adjustable temp one. It lets you select a temperature between 40 and 100 °C in one degree increments. I wish it were a bit smaller and could heat to a lower temp (for e.g. proofing yeast), but otherwise it's pretty nice. As it's an American market product it's limited to 1500W, which is still pretty quick but nowhere near the speed of something designed for 240V mains.

The biggest problem I've had so far was that Amazon seems to only stock used/counterfeit units. Buying direct from OXO got me on that hadn't been used and didn't reek of volatile organic compounds on the first try.

Yeah, I looked up what people have done, and the EC alone makes it not worthwhile. And like you said, there's no availability. Ebay only shows the Japanese layout. I think the T480(s) keyboard is fine. I'm quite comfortable with the Tx30 chiclet keyboard, and 480 looks about the same. I was debating buying X1C 13, but this T480(s) may be a fun Christmas break project.

Depends on the use and context, benchmarking can hint at the "truth", that it is faster to just divide: ultimately the benchmark would have to have the two implementations and run them thru all possible inputs to know for sure.

It may clearly state that memoization is slower, until you plop it into a benchmark that inlines division explicitly without using a given hardware accelerate.

division by a constant input can be solved faster still, so there can be optimizations on top of memoization that would beat raw division on most peocessors/runtime environments.
It was released on 2 DVDs as far as I remember.

I really hope that eventually there is a development tool which is:

- cross-platform

- easy-to-use

- opensource (or at least free)

- able to make GUI apps

- compliant with accessibility

If there is such a tool, I'd be glad to know of it --- Livecode (a HyperCard clone originally published as Runtime Revolution) was the best option until they closed it.

Believe it or not, it's pretty reasonable price for mid-high end quality coffee stuff. Seeing the picture and description I was expecting an at least $1000 range price for each. And I totally not am an SF engineer with that much excessive money for buying something like that.

Coffee enthusiasts are borderline insane, maybe something with the involved molecules.
