yes, but the greater the latency, the greater the number of bits per period required to get the same throughput.

I come in around 250 ms on the latency, which means that to get up to 10 bps I'd need to actually be able to discriminate between 6 choices each time.

To get up to 100 bps?

CanAm's tadpole trikes have a tilt/camber mechanism on the front wheels and can lean; it's not at all the same thing as a 2 wheeler but it's a light year better than the delta configuration.
That's not been my experience, though I guess it depends on what you're using o1 for.

My experience is that o1 is extremely good at producing a series of logical steps for things. Ask it a simple question and it will write you what feels like an entire manual that you never asked for. For the most part I've stopped caring about integrating AI into software, but I could see o1 being good for writing prompts for another LLM. Beyond that, I have a hard time calling it better than GPT-4+.

How have you been using o1?
>when modern populations are so genetically diverse.

Are they? Are there any studies that confirm that hypothesis?

My understanding[0][1][2][3][4][5][6] (there are plenty more references, but I assume you get the point) is that modern human populations are incredibly similar, and not very diverse at all. In fact, all humans are more genetically similar to each other than many other species are, including chimpanzees and wheat.

I've only dabbled a bit in 3D graphics (OpenGL, THREE.js, swift SceneKit). When these 2D GUIs say "GPU-accelerated", does that mean they are doing the same thing you would do for 3D - build triangular meshes, materials, etc - and then just essentially point an orthographic camera at this "scene"? Or what kind of low-level GPU APIs (eg WebGPU) are used?
What dispute reason would you give? Usually card issuers will ask you if you've made any attempt to settle the situation with the merchant.

If you misrepresent that you have and they are just ignoring you, you might practically get away with it, but do know that that kind of misrepresentation might get you into trouble some day.

If however the merchant is actually unreachable for a bona fide cancellation request, that's totally on them.
I feel like what you're saying is you have a vested interest in the services you mentioned with all of this scope creep to your OG argument.
I agree about an abundance of apps, but what type of value are LLMs adding?

It can sometimes be useful to input a more "human" search and have something get spit out but 60% of the time it completely lies to you. I'm talking about questions related to web specifications which are public documents. Section numbers, standards names, etc.. will be completely made up.
> I suspect many who advocate for burn-it-all-down utopianism are not interested in solving problems for their own sake.

At least for me, the internet is both necessary and a horrible experience. So actually it is motivated from a personal perspective to have something better.
Hard to know honestly. My personal (non-expert) opinion is that the assets are the less important attribute. The more important attribute is the small size and high uniformity of the state population and the industry mix of the state.

That makes the policy decisions for bnd less contentious and non-competitive which allows it to do things other bigger states might not be able to do with a state bank.

The asset size seems incidental to the population size. But perhaps not.
> I don't want to support AI or have my code trained on AI.

What are your arguments for this?
It might seem bad but that's actually one of the coolest things about this new approach: it's the core model (today GPT-4o) that decides where it goes.

Here, this was a suboptimal decision by Maurice, and by default we indeed have it avoid making costly mistakes. But consider all the good decisions the agent did otherwise: navigating in all these different rooms with no prior knowledge of where anything is (just pictures it took earlier), close to the glass where Vignesh was, back to Axel, back to bed at the end...

And here's the thing: every time an LLM provider releases a new model, Maurice gets better. We haven't even started fine-tuning the agent yet but that will also improve its decisions a lot. There's many many low hanging fruits to make it able to make better decisions, and we expect that in the coming months the system will quickly get smarter and faster.
It really depends. Coreboot is open source and you can review the code, it's also much lighter (though fewer things can be tweaked), vs AMI which we don't know/can't check what it contains.

For me, wanting as much open source in the stack as possible, it gives me peace of mind, but it really depends on the individual.

All I can really suggest, is to take a look at the Coreboot site[0] and see if it sounds like something you'd want.

Odd, as an Israeli Jew I’ve never heard of this game.

Fun fact for our fellow gentiles, the letter on the dreidel are different in Israel vs the rest of the world.
In the US for example:

נ - נס - miracle

ג - גדול - great

ה - היה - was

ש - שם - there

In Israel the final letter is replaced with:

פ - פה - here

Meaning that the miracle has happened in Israel.

This is what happens when people are anonymous. I assume these are all 12-year-old victims of bullying with a lot of pain and no where to get it out. They spit venom wherever they go. I assume they grow out of it.

Frankly, I would recommend you think on why you are so sensitive to random criticism? That is not healthy. I had the privilege of growing up in a rough place where ridicule was the norm, so I was rather immune to insults by around age 14. I mean, it would hurt if it came from someone I respected, but not a drug dealer or bum on the street. That is what internet commenters are, homeless junkies throwing insults out of powerless rage. They do not matter.

I do not know you, so I will not provide the tough love I would give to a friend or relative, but you should not care what unimportant people say about you. Such insecurities are dangerous and counter-productive. If some crack head on the street pointed out your deepest insecurity, it should not bother you. He is a crackhead. He does not matter. You do. You need to let that shit go. It will eat you up inside. If you have legitimate insecurities, fix them. If you are bothered by silly stuff (appearance, ethnicity,...), you need to shake that off. No one should be able to use that against you. That is giving others too much power over you. It is an insane submission for no benefit. Let it go.

So my advice is to let it go. Choose to stop reacting to these comments. You CHOOSE to react. The comments are irrelevant. The problem is that you are letting yourself react negatively. You need to stop that. There exist evil people who will use that weakness to control you. PLEASE fix it before you meet someone of that nature. Insults are like cockroaches. You do not need to fear them, but you should never let them into your home.
Yes, but if they did that, they would have to enforce the same rule on routers of US companies. So the net advantage for the US companies would be zero (which I believe is the point - the "hacking fears" is just a smokescreen).

> disproportionately reap the benefits of society

This is where we fundamentally disagree.

You buy products because you want/like them. The people who make them are not disproportionately reaping benefits of society - they are reaping benefits of creating productive and desirable products.

This view flirts with the idea that people "extract" wealth from the public, and that people are taken advantage of and/or manipulated into buying things.

> I definitely don't feel this way and I am happy to pay my marginal rates. I just don't think they go far enough.

People universally feel the government (local, state, federal) overwhelmingly wastes their tax money - yet so many people demand others pay more of their earned income to this uncaring ineffective machine. Tax receipts will never be enough for the government, and some people will continue to advocate plowing more of other people's money into the dark abyss. That's madness.

> Do you propose a flat income tax or a flat wealth tax? Should capital gains be taxed as income?

I propose a straight flat income tax percentage, without any deductions, credits, anything. While the percentage is fixed, the dollar amount obviously scales with income. Things like capital gains are solved this way by taxing the actual income you generated from the investments.

I'm making up numbers, but say it's 20%. No matter if you earned $1 of income, or $1,000,000 - you pay 20%.

> I don't necessarily think that all preferences are equal, but I also bias towards weighing everyone's preferences as worth respecting, unless there's a compelling reason to assign more or less weight to those preferences. For example, when preferences are legally protected or morally aligned, I tend to weight them more; while preferences that are simply asinine or I consider to be immoral are similarly downweighted. I don't feel like this is a radical viewpoint, though?

When there is a public broadcast, I think the right to watch it should automatically be bundled with the right to take pictures of it. At least as far as the rights of the entity making the broadcast go. So I do find the disconnect somewhat asinine. And when someone is just showing me factual content, I don't particularly care about their preferences as a default, just their burden.

But then it's not trivial to write responsive/adaptive applications. In contrast, QML makes it extremely easy to build such apps.

I used to build UIs in the designer as well[1] but after studying QML there's no going back. Here's a new project I program solely in QML (and C++ for the logic)[2].

re my commentary nine months ago: I thought Gitea was fairly safe, as they were not requiring a CLA. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39680587) They still seem to only require a DCO, so I don't think they're gearing up for a commercialization rugpull... yet?

Some of the forgejo devs apparently believe that a collective copyright header is the same thing as a copyright assignment: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/27455 & https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions/issues/67 I disagree on that point personally, but is there precedent here anywhere in the world?

Now that forgejo is not hard-tracking the gitea source, maybe we'll see in a year or two which project has better technical velocity or whatnot. IMO it's a coin toss between the two at this juncture.
I don't think countries should hire the best. Pretty good should do. They should foster a greater sense of community within their borders. Now, I'm not against immigration. I myself am an immigrant.

Information is good, but it doesn't automatically imply that you have an actionable path in getting what's legally yours. Besides that, the Internet hasn't nearly eradicated the inherent information and attention asymmetry between consumers and companies employing people full time to make sure they end up on top for every interaction you have with them.

Consumer protection regulations, especially those regarded trading and credit, cast a very long shadow (ray of sunlight?) you're possibly unaware of, but still immensely benefit from.

Obviously there are diminishing returns and unintended/negative effects to consumers too sometimes, but throwing protections out completely in favor of a "pure free market" doesn't do these asymmetries justice.

Software is one of the few STEM fields where one can get a fantastic job with just a Bachelor's. In most other engineering fields, a MS gives you a significant boost, and a PhD may do so as well.

The reality is that in most of those fields, few Americans get an MS/PhD. Go to a typical engineering department and you'll often see the majority of advanced degree students are foreigners.

So it's a question of: Do we want to continue to train foreigners, only to not have them contribute to the US economy?

If you move out to the pure sciences, you pretty much need a PhD to get a good career. Once again, a big chunk, if not the majority, are foreigners.

Look around at the highly skilled folks you see who are not of US origin, and you'll find most of them are in the US due to the H1-B program (only a tiny percentage come via other programs like the O visa).

Yes, H1-B is often abused, but this is the reason it exists. It's a lot harder to get an H1B visa and then permanent residency if your degree is in the humanities, for example.

> You shouldn't count the bits handled by visual processing, basic motor control, and other things you have practiced all your life.

Ok, but how to count bits for your example with piano? It has 80 keys or so, isn't it? Should we take log2(80)=6.32...? Of if you are working with only part of the keyboard, maybe we should take log2(7)? How many bits per seconds of processing it takes to keep my hand on a keyboard in a right way that was shown by a tutor? How to measure it? Does my experience with a guitar makes it easier? How many bits easier?
as a reminder, I coded gpt@franzai.com some time ago (see also https://gpt.franzai.com/ )

it does the same as the chatgpt whatsapp chat, but well you can forward images to it, it can send your reminder emails in the future and can manage todos for you (some kind of memory)

if it would have gotten more traction i would have extended it that you can also forward emails to it and it responds to the original email as your assistant

> Are they? Are there any studies that confirm that hypothesis?

??? what is there to confirm? Why are you trying to spin an internal comparison as external? Indigenous populations tend to be more related to physically close indigenous populations than physically far apart indigenous populations. This is what I was referring to with the "genetic gradient". Comparing us to chimpanzees makes zero sense, let alone wheat, as we aren't trying to have sex with either, let alone "displace" them. I mean, hopefully not.

I haven't looked into those allegations myself but, if they're true, it strongly supports my belief the role of supreme court justices should be limited to strict interpretation of legislation as passed by our elected representatives and the constitution as written. While it's impossible to eliminate all subjective interpretation from the role of SCOTUS justices, the last thing we should want is any more latitude for injecting personal opinion or broad construction based on vague ideals like "the spirit of the law" or "for the good of the people".
One error in this article by Zimmer that surprises me. He claims all modern humans have some admixture with Neaderthals but to the best of my knowledge this is not true of KhoiSan, Central African hunter gatherers, and several West African populations.

6 trillion * number of configurations of each cell * number of configurations of interactions between cells = (very very large) finite number. The thing about numbers is that they go on forever. There's not a cutoff for "ok, this number is too big for bits".
