It sounds more like another day in vegas for the psychology field of that era. This was not an exception, and often researchers were not even aware they were doing something wrong. Even nowadays psychology researchers are clueless as to what really p-hacking and bad statistical practices mean. And because they consider themselves honest researchers, while these practices are obviously dishonest, they do not consider themselves actually doing anything like that - but somebody else may! it is always somebody else. Now it is not as bad as that period, and there is more awareness about the most blunt violations of statistical rigour, but the actual understanding is still low for the median researcher so many grey-to-black zones exist still.
"However, referring to the scope of work in your email dated 20-SEP-2021…"
You are. Look, I'll just repeat. I think it's notable and important the extent to which the Linux has come to dominate computing at virtually every scale. Pretty much every application that is not user-facing code running on a Windows or Apple device is Linux. Period. And that's the majority of all software running anywhere!

Now, sure, you can define that as unimportant. But you can't define it as unsuccessful, which was the criterion I responded to upthread.

Your examples are just examples of lack of information. That's not a measure for intelligence.

As a contrary point, most people think they are smarter than they really are.

How big (and noticeable) does the reduction in quality need to be. Especially because spotify is such an easy platform.

Changing to another streaming service requires learning a new app, moving over all playlists, and likely means still a pretty bad music suggestion service. Because spotify has a pretty good recommendation engine.
Are potential interior design customers really looking for a "fresh and fun website design", as opposed to something standard, simple to navigate, and that readily shows off her interior design work?

Maybe I'm just jaded, but I feel like an out-of-the-box design here would just take attention away from her actual work and/or frustrate visitors who just want to see some pictures.

Every hour these models forecast every hour 10 or 15 days ahead. The further ahead they become less accurate of course.

Having all historical weather forecasts is useful to backtest how accurate the model is because you can compare what was being forecasted at the time with what actually happened.

It is also useful to backtest derived models. If you want to figure out how accurate your model is forecasting something like solar power generation while using one of these weather datasets as features for cloud cover and solar radiation, you will want to run the model with the forecast that was current at that point in time. Otherwise you would be "cheating" by using data you wouldn't have had if you ran the model at that time.

In other words, you'd want to "see" the weather as it was being predicted at the time in order to find out what your model would predict for solar power generation.

I hope that makes sense.
It's a virtual leash for couples.
No, but small pieces of it are, and there's active work to extend it

The concept of the borrow checker has been on a simplified version of rust https://people.mpi-sws.org/~dreyer/papers/rustbelt/paper.pdf - work has continued in this area steadily (e.g. see tree borrows)

There's a variety of tools that take rust code and translate it to something a proof system understands, and then checks that it matches a specification. AWS is leading a project to use these to verify the standard library: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/verify-the-safety-of...
These are the exceptions imo. Most of it is funding-driven (or sometimes wanting-status-driven) than pure wanting-driven. Most researchers do not even care that much about their actual field and would change the field to do what they really want to do, albeit funding keeps there where they are.
Hope someone integrates this with Home Assistant soon!
Agreed. The original comment just made me think "good grief".

No, scrolling on a website is not the same as doing lines of coke in the club bathroom.
Aha, "at least 1 of a panel of 10", not "the panel of 10 averaged"! Thanks, that makes so much more sense to me now.

I have failed the real ARC AGI :)
You could definitely use meshtastic devices to do this
It does. These days, it's probably eBPF and a popular target is the linux kernel [1].

You can write C hooks for tracing and profiling, etc. - with inline asm!

You know honestly? I have thought of using a XOSS cycling computer (https://www.amazon.com/XOSS-Speedometer-Accessories-Waterpro...).

I have used them before on various bikes and they work just fine. Battery life is about 25 hours, it is weather resistant, and then you can sync them after you record an activity. And at less than $30, if it gets lost, it isn't the worst thing in the world.

I use mblaze, I find it especially useful for large mailing lists like the linux kernel.
"rational" as in, rationalizing the contradiction of "not paying" and "getting content anyway". just don't watch. don't support the practice entirely. it's not really as much of a stance as it is just a contrived way to excuse away getting the thing you simultaneously hate and crave. like, the content has already manipulated you even without you paying for it and refusing to pay for it, by making you do this little dance, of trying to get it and trying to rationalize getting it.
My question may be to obvious but, how can you incorporate js to mutate your layout based on user interaction and api calls? Do you have a dynamic website example?
Yup this is exactly it. In the middle class UK even cocaine use is normalized. When your parents are smoking weed, doing lines of coke, and drinking excessive amounts of wine/beer, it's not exactly cool.
Yes, my shortcoming was in understanding the 10 were implied to have their successes merged together by being a panel rather than just the average of a special selection.

No one is taking YouTube away from you. People make choices. There are many alternatives yet to explore. The network effect, the fact that many people, including me, are on the platform, is a benefit to the platform, more users more worth, yet no one is paying me to be there either.
You have to be really bad if Meta are somehow the good guys in the article.
I suppose hypothetically putting it in an easier language to make changes in. Though it's hard to imagine it being easier to make changes to transpiled code than the original.

Alternatively this might be seen as a stepping stone to translating non-formally-verified C to rust, which I understand the US government has expressed a fair bit of interest in.
There's also an implicit assumption that consuming food bought from a country with a regulatory framework for food (say, the US) doesn't usually involve the risk of said food being laced with listeria.

The point being, the wbole thread is about the breakdown of food safety in the US to an illegal level, and as such, it wasn't unreasonable to consider that someone's opinion was that a risk of being supplied with US food might involve illegal foods also.
Isn't that what the middlebox (e.g. Kannel) was for? To transcode text to binary xml?
Does anyone have a feeling for how latency (from asking a question/API call to getting an answer/API return) is progressing with new models? I see 1.3 minutes/task and 13.8 minutes/task mentioned in the page on evaluating O3. Efficiency gains that also reduce latency will be important and some of them will come from efficiency in computation, but as models include more and more layers (layers of models for example) the overall latency may grow and faster compute times inside each layer may only help somewhat. This could have large effects on usability.
30 years ago there was no digital world. Nearly all information was in physical artifacts. The things worth saving haven't really changed, but the amount of noise they are buried in has. Imagine if that letter was kept in a two ton pile of ad fliers. Sure, someone would find some of those fliers interesting, but you'd have been much less likely to even know about the letter.
Is that vanilla JavaScript or TypeScript? I had always thought that one of the main benefits of TS is that it would probably yell about the first case. (I currently only dabble in the JS world.)
I went to a really good talk by someone from the DTCC where they'd built a prototype to trade gold in a London vault.

Yes, though I think smart shuffle might be a default mode for playlists.
People who enable these functions will expect spotify to pick the best guess of what music they would enjoy. Not what music costs spotify the least to play.

If this is only a little bit worse, people will likely not notice. But they will miss out on new music. Certainly this is how I normal find new music.
Neither of my parents _ever_ went on vacation until they were adults themselves. Both were middle class and white. 3 of my 4 grand parents worked in factories. 1 was a teacher.

My dad’s parents owned their own home. The _biggest_ one they owned was 1000 square feet, which they viewed as cavernous. The one my dad lived in as a small child had no indoor plumbing and the heat came from a single wood burning stove. I was alive when my dad first lived in a house with central air.

My mom’s parents never owned a home while she lived with them.

The numbers will back me up that this was a completely typical middle class American experience post ww2.

What seems to have changed is a) the class of housing stock available. b) trends around _where_ people live and c) the narrative about the past.
It’s pretty normal for parents to drink alcohol with their kids. Letting kids of 12+ drink in special circumstances is common in Europe. But wanting to toke with a 15 year old to make sure they have a good first experience - why is that absolutely taboo?
My impression was that they wanted to be notified of new blogs via RSS, not the content of the blogs.

But I could be wrong
We are not pitted against AI is these match-ups. Instead, all humans and AI aligned with the goal of improving the human condition, are pitted against rogue AI which are not. Our capability to keep rogue AI in check therefore grows in proportion to the capabilities of AI.
The classifier was likely a convolutional network, so the assumption of the image being a 2D grid was baked into the architecture itself - it didn't have to be represented via the shape of the input for the network to use it.
That slogan is an oversimplification but if I eat a bowl of steel cut at 7am I won't snack or be hungry until 2pm or later. Whether or not I eat this will have a strong impact on my day. Sounds important IMO

I've never viewed emails as important enough to keep in general, though I pay for my email sevice. Anything important I'll back up individually. But mostly I delete straight away.
Interesting that your first counterexample is Charlie Parker. I've been listening to a lot of Phil Schaap's Bird Flight recently (https://www.philschaapjazz.com/sections/bird-flight). It's funny to see how many of the episodes are Phil describing a recording session more or less like this:

"The Bird showed up two hours late to a three and a half hour recording session. They recorded one take each of six tracks, but the recording engineer was surprised when they started so he missed the first half of the first track. And that's how we got the five tracks on <INSERT CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED ALBUM HERE>."
I do have Freetube but I forget to use it. I developed the instinct of reaching to my phone or to my tablet when I want to watch a video. The only source of videos on my desktop would be technical stuff embedded in pages from HN but videos are too long (as in time) compared to text so either I read the transcript if available or I skip to the next interesting post.
I remember someone sharing their bank account details and a new Twitter account with ChatGPT 3.5 just a few days after it was launched.
I thought the AR-15s that the police carried in America were semi-auto. More like a sporting rifle than what the military uses.

AR-15s are more versatile than shotguns, though less powerful they are more accurate. If your going to carry a long gun around, it's probably the most logical option.

Basically anyone who isn't a prohibited person in America can field the same equipment. Though I think police have more access to restricted ammunition.
The license seems a bit iffy. The blog says it's "open source", but the license is a modified version of the SSPL, which is not recognized as an open source license in the customary sense of the term.

They also don't say explicitly what modifications they made compared to the SSPL. Some diffing shows that the changes consist of:

1. Search/replace of license and publisher name.

2. Renumbering sections with 1-based indexing.

3. Adding the words "commercially or competitively" to section 13 (which is renumbered to 14).

In the process of doing this, they seem to have accidentally replaced the publisher name with the license name in one place ("any version ever published by the MoonBit Public Source License") and introduced an off-by-one error where section 18 (which used to be 17) refers to sections 15 and 16.
Productivity gains increase the standard of living for everyone. Products and services become cheaper. Leisure time increases. Scarce labor resources can be applied in other areas.

I fail to see the difference between AI-employment-doom and other flavors of Luddism.
I didn't say if I think that drone killing is justified or not, since I have no opinion on that - I don't know enough to form an opinion. I only say that since the government have the right to send killing drone it doesn't make sense to raise pitchforks against phone hacking
There are no Windows-specific issues in venv + pip. Windows can be more painful if you need to compile C extensions, but you usually don't, since most commonly used packages have had binary wheels for Windows on PyPI for many years.
The Android app is solid. I don't remember running into any bugs recently, and (1) the app supports Android tablets well (2) the app for classical music "Classical" works is also top-tier. I switch between the iPhone app and Android app frequently, and I really can't tell any difference between the two versions. The Android one supports Chromecast, although I have had some trouble with it in the past.

The Windows app is ok, but I haven't used it as much, so I can't provide much feedback.
A new product that solves your tab hoarding problem and forgotten saved items
A few weeks ago, I was using my mothers PC. Google was erroneously in French, and no language chooser available. So I checked. Firefox sent a HTTP header with a Dutch preference. She was logged in with her Google account, which had a Dutch language preference. Some geolocation providers put her in Dutch speaking cities of Belgium. Still, the Google Algorithm had decided she would speak French. Plenty of other sites make similar errors, especially the biggest ones

So I wonder: Why are we sending out all this info. Fingerprinting is the only actual use. The number of sites using it as it should is minimal. Lets just stop giving it. They don't need a list of audio or video devices. They don't need my installed fonts. They don't believe my language settings when I whack them over the head with it. Let's just fill in defaults everywhere. Maybe provide a whitelist for legitimate sites.
Good luck with both of that. Otherwise people whose dayjob is rewritting everything in Rust will soon be out of a job

They are called GPS trackers or GPS loggers. You can find some that save coordinates to a microSD card and optionally send the location via cellular connection for about 10 dollars on AliExpress.
I'm firmly in the "absolutely nothing special about human intelligence" camp so don't let dismissal of this as AGI fuel any misconceptions as to why I might think that.

As for what AGI is? Well, the lack of being able to describe that brings us full circle in this thread - I'll tell you for sure when I've seen it for the first time and have the power of hindsight to say what was missing. I think these models are the closest we've come but it feels like there is at least 1-2 more "4o->o1" style architecture changes where it's not necessarily about an increase in model fitting and more about a change in how the model comes to an output before we get to what I'd be willing to call AGI.

Who knows though, maybe some of those changes come along and it's closer but still missing some process to reason well enough to be AGI rather than a midway tool.
Introducing S2
Historically when tech has taken over jobs people have done ok, they've just done something else, usually something more pleasant.
Data rots though, you can't just save it once and be done with it. You have to migrate it across storage mediums, formats etc. It's a recurrent effort/cost.
If it functions exactly as an AirTag does then it would be hard as they would not want to block all previously sold AirTags
What is "fasting-mimicking" and what are "fake fasting gimmicks"?
It’s not, 93% indicates a healthy market that is priced right between renters and landlords. My core objection is to the article stating “everyone knows there’s an affordability crisis” and I am saying there is not a crisis, its a manufactured talking point.

For larger professionally (~50+ unit) managed facilities, which is what those reports track and is also what i do for a living, we can turn over very quickly and push much tighter, 98% when possible. 93% occupancy on a typical 200 unit property is 14 units vacant for an entire month, which is unacceptable if there is pent up demand.

Which is weird, because whenever there's a high-profile police shooting the media goes out of their way to dig up dirt on the victim to morally justify the shooting.

To me, stack overflow is a synonym for stack buffer overflow:

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

What you call stack overflow appears to be what I call stack exhaustion. The two different cases are very different things when you look at what happens in memory. In computers, the stack grows down, so exhausting the stack occurs in a downward direction. When you overflow an object on the stack, this typically occurs in an upward direction, and continues until older stack frames. Downward is also possible for that case, but it is rare and when it happens it can also be the other issue at the same time.

Hearing stack overflow used to describe the other kind of issue is what prompted my reply. I had not known that others use these terms differently. In all cases, we are describing something going past a boundary, with the only difference being what, so the ambiguous usage makes sense. The ambiguous usage appears to be acknowledged by Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_overflow_(disambiguation...

I will continue to use stack exhaustion for this, as it is more accurate.

There is also a third case, which is jumping the stack guard page. I am not sure if you consider this to be a “stack overflow” too. It is a third class of bug. Wikipedia appears to lump it together with stack exhaustion under stack overflow.

I never expected bug taxonomy to be controversial, yet here we are.

I wonder if this decline means the public health campaigning and lessons about drinking/smoking/drugs prevention made a difference?

As 1 data point, I have a cousin who is 17, and I am 35.

As a 17 year old, she's been taught the dangers of cigarettes, that drinking is bad, and to avoid drugs for a number of years already.

I'm not saying this is bad... it just feels like previous generations (Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, etc) did not really go into the informational side about the risks of drug use from a personal level, and moreso approached don't do drugs like an episode of COPS, which focused more on the risk as a scare tactic.

possibly, my university doesn’t really do ai research beyond using it as a tool to engineer things. im looking to transfer to a different university.

but no, my take on reasoning is really a somewhat generalized reframing of the definition of reasoning (which you might find on the stanford encylopedia of philosophy) thats reframed partially in axiomatic building blocks of neural network components/terminology. im not claiming to have discovered reasoning, just redefine it in a way thats compatible and sensible to neural networks (ish).

To your point, the article even mentions that since the Muzak labels own the master on all these tracks, they are free to use them however they see fit. Which in this case probably means training their AI entirely on their own cleanly licensed music.

They are probably already doing it, slipping in a few AI-generated songs in with the gig-produced music to see how it’s performing.
This looks great. If this Python implementation of the FindMy API actually works, it would be a major technology quality-of-life improvement for me. I hope Apple lets it stay alive.

Everyone who shares location with me does so over Find My, and my family insists on using AirTags. As a 100% desktop Linux and mobile Android user, it is one of the few things that I always need to remote in to my Mac Mini to access because there are no x-platform FindMy apps and the FindMy iCloud web app does not have feature parity to the macOS and iOS apps. One of a long list of offenses where Apple refuses to make things easy for x-platform friend groups and families. Very annoying.
Is there something it can do to whitelist legitimate AirTag serial numbers?
