Did you know that YouTube used to have this exact feature? It was called subscription collections and they publicly promised that they would replace that feature with something better when they removed it. That never happened. It's been 9 maybe 10 years since they said that. [1]

The removal of that feature was an intentional push to take away user agency and push them into using YouTube's recommendation algorithm. The lying was a way to misdirect user complaints until it was too late.

zipping up a jacket is really hard to do, and requires very precise movements and coordination between hands.

playing mozart is much more forgiving in terms of the number of different motions you have to make in different directions, the amount of pressure to apply, and even the black keys are much bigger than large sized zipper tongues.

The Telharmonium dated from the "if only we had gain" era of pre-electronics. The thing was a huge collection of sizable AC generators running at different
frequencies, run through a keyboard, and mixed with transformers. With no way to amplify a small signal, there was no way to downsize the thing. Once amps were invented, the Hammond Organ, with its tone wheels, was the same concept in a piano-sized package.

History of pre-transistor electronics:

- If only we had voltage.

- If only we had current.

- If only we had rectification.

- If only we had gain.

- If only we had frequency.

- If only we had power gain.

- If only we had reliability.

- If only we had precision.

- If only we had counting.
Grayjay dev here, this is for sure a use case we have in mind. The idea is in the future to allow you to share subscription groups you've made for your kids with friends.

Maybe there can be a website where people share subscription groups with each other in general. Good archery channels, good fitness channel, kid safe channels, etc.

Another thing I am pondering is if it is worth adding a mode that prevents your kids from accessing other content then what is in a specific subscription group.
I have a dozen of those style temperature gauges all over my house. Mine are actually a slightly smaller, square version. You can use Home Assistant to read the Bluetooth temperature and humidity readings from them. They ended up costing maybe $3 each when buying several at a time. Battery tends to last a bit over a year.
I understand the desire to be skeptical, but maybe you should give individuals the benefit of the doubt and the giant multinational corporation the skepticism.
freetube has multiple subscription lists. they call it profiles. any channel can be in multiple profiles of your choice.

Right, but the ARC-AGI people would counter by saying they're welcome to do just that. In doing so -- again in their view -- the researchers would create a model that could be considered capable of AGI.

I spent a couple of hours looking at the publicly-available puzzles, and was really impressed at how much room for creativity the format provides. Supposedly the puzzles are "easy for humans," but some of them were not... at least not for me.

(It did occur to me that a better test of AGI might be the ability to generate new, innovative ARC-AGI puzzles.)

> Even Scotland which either exports or curtails dirt cheap wind power most of the time gets to pay expensive gas rates for their power

1. window power is not "dirt cheap" because of the rates the wind farms get paid. As you said they get paid the wholesale rate, and IIRC it is the greater of the wholesale rate and a minimum rate they are guaranteed by the government.

2. the reason curtailment happens UK's is because there is a lack of grid capacity to take it where it is needed. Most of the wind generating capacity is in Scotland, which has about 10% of the UK's population. This part of the problem would be helped by cheaper rates when there is excess energy, but increasing the use of wind power would mean higher bills because of 1.

The cost of fixing this will mean building grid capacity, so it means higher electricity bills.

There is a good explanation here: https://climate.benjames.io/uk-electricity-bills/

The TL;DR version is we built wind power when it was expensive, subsidised it at those prices, and now are stuck with paying for it at those prices.
Playing a piano involves pushing down on the right keys with the right force at the right time, but that could be pre-programmed well before computers. The self-playing piano in the saloon in Westworld wasn't a huge anachronism, such things slightly overlapped with the Wild West era: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_piano

Give LQCD practitioners resources on the scale of the experiment, the computations will get faster!

I'm not sure what they mean by "Predictions rely on approximate analytical methods such as effective field theories." The predictions of LQCD are ab initio. Sometimes we fit EFTs to LQCD results, that's true. But EFTs are under control and have quantifiable uncertainties, they're not just willy-nilly approximations.

I've looked into this, and found nothing. One can surely repurpose the case and speakers, but the microphones are soldered on-board, and the board is not hackable and needs to go.

> making the most interesting and challenging LLM benchmark so far.

This[1] is currently the most challenging benchmark. I would like to see how O3 handles it, as O1 solved only 1%.

1. https://epoch.ai/frontiermath/the-benchmark
Ya, but those cases have tended to get a bit more traction because the primary purpose of firearms is to kill and there are lots of things that gun makers could do to make it more difficult to kill people with them (like built in locking mechanisms). A little different than say, a hammer, which is not meant as a weapon of death.
Unfortunately, in the real world, playing the game changes the game.

For instance, casinos have different payout schedules for Blackjack based on minimum bet size and number of decks in the shoe. Payouts for single deck Blackjack are very small in comparison to multi-deck games, as well as requiring larger minimums (and they shuffle the deck after only a few hands).
The alternative isn't a mechanical meter anyway. It's an electronic meter that must be read manually.
I used the phrase "single thread in isolation" to simply point out that parallelization is going on underneath (via optimization/OOO/superscaler) for that thread even in a single-threaded scenario but not that it always implies sequential consistency in a multi-threaded scenario. That was the thing i disagreed with in your comment where you said the author assumed sequential consistency only which is not what i got. In my linked to previous comment i explicitly said this;

Once you start thinking about a program as a sequence of loads/stores (i.e. reads/writes to shared memory) and note that Pipelining/OOO/Superscalar are techniques to parallelize these (and other) instructions for a single thread of control you start getting an idea of how sequential order can be preserved though the actual execution is not quite so.
Again, sure, but it doesn’t matter to an average person. That’s too much focus on the hypothetical future. People care about the current times. In the short term it will suck for a good chunk of people, and whether the sacrifice is worth it will depend on who you are.

People aren’t really on uproar yet, because implementations haven’t affected the job market of the masses. Afterwards? Tume will show.
Just shifting some electricity usage around is a pretty solid tactic with dynamic pricing.

I'm currently paying wholesale + 0.49 c/kWh margin for my electricity and I'm averaging out to 6.67 c/kWh (incl. margin) in December. Wholesale average has been about 6.61 c/kWh. Add transfer and tax on top of that and it's around 0.13 €/kWh total.

I live in an apartment so the two big electricity-wasters are the dishwasher and the washing machine. Delaying doing the laundry by a couple of days or running the dishwasher half a day later keeps the average much lower. And if you have an EV, just charge it during the night when wholesale prices get closer to 0€.

> The primary value proposition to me of Spotify is to not be a dumb pipe, but to actively assist me in discovering new music I like.

> Everything I listen to on Spotify is based on what I chose to listen to.

I'm not saying these contradict, but you are in fact allowing a corporate entity to dictate your music taste on some level. Payola means certain artists pay to get prioritized to you. Maybe it doesn't work on you! Maybe you like this. Maybe your taste surrounds an area of music where payola isn't a problem. All of these are possibilities.

To me, that's a very large problem. To you, that's what you're paying for. That's fine, but we're going to continue to disagree over whether or not Spotify is destroying the music industry and music culture. To me, this is exactly the opposite of how technology should assist in connecting artists to listeners and paying artists.

But whatever; we really have no say at the end of the day, we're kind of just stuck with what we have.
I pay for lots of models, but Claude Sonnet is the one I use most. ChatGPT is my quick tool for short Q&As because it’s got a desktop app. Even Google‘s new offerings did not lure me away from Claude which I use daily for hours via a Teams plan with five seats.

Now I am wondering what Anthropic will come up with. Exciting times.
I wish you luck with tracking down versions of software used when you're writing papers... especially if you're using multiple conda environments. This is pretty much the example used in the article -- version mismatches.

But, I think this illustrates the problem very well.

Conda isn't just used for Python. It's used for general tools and libraries that Python scripts depend on. They could be C/C++ that needs to be compiled. It could be a Cython library. It could be...

When you're trying to be a package manager that operates on-top of the operating system's package manager, you're always going to have issues. And that is why Conda is such a mess, it's trying to do too much. Installation issues are one of the reason why I stopped writing so many projects in Python. For now, I'm only doing smaller scripts in Python. Anything larger than a module gets written in something else.

People here have mentioned Rust as an example of a language with a solid dependency toolchain. I've used more Go, which similarly has had dependency management tooling from the begining. By and large, these languages aren't trying to bring in C libraries that need to be compiled and linked into Python accessible code (it's probably possible, but not the main use-case).

For Python code though, when I do need to import a package, I always start with a fresh venv virtual environment, install whatever libraries are needed in that venv, and then always run the python from that absolute path (ex: `venv/bin/python3 script.py`). This has solved 99% of my dependency issues. If you can separate yourself from the system python as much as possible, you're 90% of the way there.

Side rant: Which, is why I think there is a problem with Python to begin with -- *nix OSes all include a system level Python install. Dependencies only become a problem when you're installing libraries in a global path. If you can have separate dependency trees for individual projects, you're largely safe. It's not very storage efficient, but that's a different issue.
I don't know about that. I feel like the cat is out of the bag with cannabis and that it actually has the net effect of making the population more docile and accepting of the status quo which is good for power (individual experiences may vary of course).
I've also worked in the area for many years.

PPAs typically require the bank to be counterparty and that requires a forecast of the prices that will be received in the market over a lengthy period. The folks at Ofgem talked about how going nodal would be nice, but that they are worried about it being such a big project (these markets typically take 5-7 years to go from design to implementation in the US) that would take focus away from what is already mostly working for them. Overall, completely changing the market structure leads to uncertainty that investors don't like.

The grandfather point is a good one. Something could possibly be done there, but not sure of the complications.

The missing money problem is very much a real thing. You're right that capacity markets and other resource adequacy mechanisms create side payments to fix this, but not everyone has that. Texas infamously had an energy-only design that hasn't worked out so well and is why they have so many ongoing proposals like the PCM to address the reliability issues. It is also why fast start pricing has been pushed so hard by FERC. Even with the capacity markets, there are numerous issues such as the extremely high prices in PJM that is leading to numerous lawsuits and condemnation from their independent market monitor. The markets work well at reducing costs, but there are a lot of ongoing issues being addressed in numerous stakeholder groups and at FERC.

one of my stances has been that psychology comes up with wacky unreplicable findings because there's no central organizing theories for how 'the mind' works and everything is just very black-box.

there are so many studies showing "X manipulation affects Y outcome", but there's not even a hint of an attempt to explain the mechanisms in a meaningful way (cognitive experiments are usually better, but often still guilty of this).

I think you overestimate the importance of what the West does. The West no longer dominates the world economically. Things no longer filter down the rest of the world as simply as you think. China is a bigger economy than any Western economy than the US, and is growing. India is about as big as any European economy. Both, and many other countries are doing more and more of their own R & D and have their own agendas.
I feel Google, Facebook, etc. all need to setup actual phone numbers and chat rooms, and make them rank highly on searches for "Google support phone number", "Google fraud department", "Google account recovery department", "Google Live Support Chat" etc.

Then those numbers should simply play a message that this is the only official phone number, and no human will ever call from or answer this number, and the company does not offer customer support or appeals to account problems.

They also need to make searching for fraud phone numbers return anti-fraud messaging rather than what it currently does. Seems like the entire 844-906 exchange is fraudulent [1].

I had a family member that just got scammed because they panicked after their Facebook account got banned, basically exactly like [2].

"The fact that scaled reasoning models are finally showing progress on ARC proves that what it measures really is relevant and important for reasoning."

Not sure I understand how this follows. The fact that a certain type of model does well on a certain benchmark means that the benchmark is relevant for a real-world reasoning? That doesn't make sense.
The problem with ARC is that there are a finite number of heuristics that could be enumerated and trained for, which would give model a substantial leg up on this evaluation, but not be generalized to other domains.

For example, if they produce millions of examples of the type of problems o3 still struggles on, it would probably do better at similar questions.

Perhaps the private data set is different enough that this isn’t a problem, but the ideal situation would be unveiling a truly novel dataset, which it seems like arc aims to do.
Great catch. Super disappointing that AI companies continue to do things like this. It’s a great result either way but predictably the excitement is focused on the jump from o1, which is now in question.
I doubt it. Competitive markets mostly work and inefficiencies are opportunities for other players. And AI is full of glaring inefficiencies.
Not a lawyer but my opinion is the law shouldn't be used to compel anyone to provide unpaid services. With that said, I still think it's terrible for the community. If other package repositories like npm, PyPI, and others decided to randomly block people over grudges, it would create a lot of dysfunction. The consequences should come in the form of Matt no longer being reputable as a provider of services to the community
There are no demonstrations for the hanged queers in teheran,

Actually there've been large demonstrations in major Western cities against the Mullah regime, organized by exile groups, targeting all its forms of oppression, including the persecution of "queers" (not all of whom would agree with that peculiar Western-centric identity that you seem to implicitly assume is univeral, but that's a side matter).

Not nearly as frequent as the Palestine protests of course, but they do happen at least a few times a year and their numbers have been quite sizable.

If you haven't been aware of this, perhaps you need to start reading from more diverse sources. Or if you happen to live in one of these cities, it might help to get out more often.
No, GNSS constellations are indeed usually in MEO, not LEO.

Using MEO means that they'll need fewer satellites for global coverage at acceptable elevation angles than they would in LEO, and since navigation signals are very low data rate, power is usually not a limiting factor either.

This was actually discovered quite early on in the history of AI:

> Rodney Brooks explains that, according to early AI research, intelligence was "best characterized as the things that highly educated male scientists found challenging", such as chess, symbolic integration, proving mathematical theorems and solving complicated word algebra problems. "The things that children of four or five years could do effortlessly, such as visually distinguishing between a coffee cup and a chair, or walking around on two legs, or finding their way from their bedroom to the living room were not thought of as activities requiring intelligence."
