Yes - for example when modeling solid materials it’s common to use a plane wave basis set for the electronic wave function instead of atomic orbitals
I specifically said that it isn’t always a win to address this. But yes, creating a strawman certainly makes arguments easier.

I'm not suggesting that you can fully learn math in this way. My point is that the approach you take can boost your confidence and motivate you to progress further. Of course, some people don’t need that kind of push or entry point.

I've seen other great examples of this from good professors. For instance, in probability and statistics courses, we would validate our results by combining theoretical concepts with simple Monte Carlo simulations to ensure they matched.
An Innovation Agenda for Addiction
Well that settles it, the matter is unsettled! Thanks for the pointer.
that just reads like an ad for Honeycomb wrapped in a blog post
I feel like all of the popular subs like “r/todayilearned” and such are posts by bots.

Many topics are repeated numerous times. I know the relevant XKCD, but still have trouble accepting things like “TIL the sky is blue” .
can you share learning resources on this topic
It's not in many jurisdictions. The AMA tracks laws on prior authorization, and in an increasing number of states insurers must make a decision within 5 calendar days. (https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/prior-authorization-st...)
I was surprised to hear recently that the same happens at NVIDIA! Hopefully less frequently, but I can understand why it's hard to keep many units on hand given the level of external demand.
Apple devices got full disk encryption enabled by default many years ago. Even before Apple Silicon
There are definitely some people that either don't understand that their explanations are completely confusing to beginners or that don't even care. Sadly, teaching isn't always valued in academia.
From https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/links-for-december-2024

> 52: Nicholas Reville of Recursive Adaptation has published his Innovation Agenda For Addiction, sort of the Progress Studies-ish take on the opioid crisis and how to solve it. The main points are deploying GLP-1RAs for their anti-addictive effects, giving addiction medicines a special fast-track through the FDA, and various government incentives / advance purchase commitments / partnerships. Even aside from the plan, this is interesting to read for its examination of perverse incentives in medicine - for example, pharma companies are reluctant to develop anti-addiction medications because they don't want to be seen as "profiting off a crisis", and they don't want to study their existing medications for addiction because the studies might reveal new side effects that would harm their existing business. Everything here seems reasonable, but my main worry is that a lot of it is zero-sum - the FDA only has so much review capacity, spending it on addiction meds would decrease it for other meds, and I worry that every disease is so bad that "redirect the FDA to focus on this in particular!" sounds pretty good when you think about it on its own. I am more excited about finding ways to streamline it in general - but don't begrudge advocates for particular conditions for wishing they had an easier time.
> Unless you were using anything from that tiny obscure Hewlett Packard operation and didn’t want to shell out for a module. HP never promoted Postscript. It was far from universal as an embedded PDL.

it's why HP had a series of printers marketed explicitly for Macintosh use, whose difference from the otherwise same model was that PostScript interpreter module was included as standard, as Mac didn't really support non-postscript printers with anything resembling usability
"I'm going to own it in the future" gives you exactly zero rights over something today.

But IANAL, so what do I know.
I only subscribe to about 15 mid-sized niche hobby subreddits and one location subreddit. I haven't noticed any issues with shills/bots/trolls.
Perhaps the real issue is that learning takes time and that there may not be a shortcut. I'll grant you that argument's analogue was complete wank when comparing say the horse and cart to a modern car.

However, we are not comparing cars to horses but computers to a human.

I do want "AI" to work. I am not a luddite. The current efforts that I've tried are not very good. On the surface they offer a lot but very quickly the lustre comes off very quickly.

(1) How often do you find yourself arguing with someone about a "fact"? Your fact may be fiction for someone else.

(2) LLMs cannot reason

A next token guesser does not think. I wish you all the best. Rome was not burned down within a day!

I can sit down with you and discuss ideas about what constitutes truth and cobblers (rubbish/false). I have indicated via parenthesis (brackets in en_GB) another way to describe something and you will probably get that but I doubt that your programme will.
Southwest v Flyingman sounds like a parody case from the Grand Theft Auto universe.
Apple didn't support anything other than PostScript natively at the time, so their printers came with postscript support. HP made special models for use with Macs that shipped with PostScript included.
Of course running inference costs money. You think GPUs are free?
If the NSA is part of your threat model then good luck. I'm not sure any single company could withstand the NSA really trying to hack them for years. The threat of possible NSA backdoors is not a reasonable argument against a cloud provider as the NSA could also have backdoors in every CPU AMD and Intel and AWS makes.
The writers of the beigeness might deny it, but assassination can work. Shinto Abe is just the most recent example. The "win condition" of the immediate destruction of the rentseeking healthcare-insurance complex in the US is a strawman. The killer achieved his goal and his success was greater than he probably imagined.

The truth is that the average person is indifferent to the murder, or right-down approving. HN is a bubble about this for obvious reasons. This a stronger signal for the power-brokers to take it easy and fix some of the perverse incentives than a long career in activism.

We live, and always have lived in a world in which a stranger can decide that you’re a bad person, and kill you. Knowing this reality isn't condoning it, or believing that common political violence is a good state of affairs.
I think they'd have thing or two to say about living under the rule of wealthy elites. We'd do well to listen to them.
We joined a boardgame group when we lived in Berlin. We made a couple of friends, which was great, but even without that it was a good social experience. And I don't speak German, so we had to only play people whose English was up to it, which was limiting (but not as much as you'd expect). If your German is acceptable then you'll do much better.

MapChart – create political and thematic maps
I agree. Lots of work to block, mute, and hide. In fact that was most of my time on it recently until I deleted it. Either you join the bot run hive mind or spend your time managing rather than consuming entertainment.
Years ago after some terrible things happened to a friend, she was "diagnosed" by a social worker in Los Angeles as schizophrenic and prescribed (I think it was abilifi). I called bullshit, so she skipped the drugs and has never had another "episode" (because that terrible thing that happened didnt happen again!)
This is literally just the scaling laws, "Scaling laws predict the loss of a target machine learning model by extrapolating from easier-to-train models with fewer parameters or smaller training sets. This provides an efficient way for practitioners and researchers alike to compare pretraining decisions involving optimizers, datasets, and model architectures"

> Vigilantism is always wrong.

We need to stop saying this. No one believes it. While I wholeheartedly believe this is correct in this instance (Luigi Mangione should not be celebrated for shooting Brian Thompson), there are instances where it is. While you should not go back in time to kill Hitler, we sure see a war to stop him as not only justifiable but honorable. When the rule of law fails, there has to be some other option. There are king killers we revere just as king killers we condemn.

We should stop saying this because we can be nuanced. It's okay to have edge cases. There are circumstances where it is justified to run a red light or abandon a truck trailer. All rules are made to be broken, because no rule can be perfectly specified. Language is limited and time marches on. It does no good to continue saying this, in this way.

Vigilantism is __rarely__ justified, and this is not an instance where it is. But we also must admit that this instance has sparked a larger national conversation. One that was going on for a long time but was routinely quickly quenched. This action catalyzed the conversation and gave it much more fire. __THIS__, I feel deeply uncomfortable with. There's certainly ways to do this same thing without killing a person (even an evil person), and I would hope that we can do better as a society to do that (you, me, and everyone. Not just "them", "US"). We shouldn't need to kill someone to have a real conversation, to solve problems, to get angry, to make change. It's here and I don't want to kill that conversation now that it has catalyzed, but neither do I want that to be the lesson learned from this. Because if it is, then vigilantism is justified much more often, and __that__ is not something we want. That is precisely how we end up creating the reality that everyone wants to avoid when they say "vigilantism is _always_ wrong."

This is a sensitive topic, and I think we should be careful. There's always ways to misinterpret others, especially if you try. But it is hard to listen, to see past the words, and find the intent. It is easier to fight and pick sides, especially when we're on the same one, than it is to actually solve problems. Problems that are complex, nuanced, and need deep understanding and care to resolve. It is easy to make them simple and pick tribes on that. Many of us want the same end goal, and we can do better by focusing on that. If we reach an impasse, so be it, but we should at least try.
How Will Ukraine Keep the Lights on This Winter?
God, this thread is bleak. Not undeservedly, but...woof.

Nobody's mentioned antibiotic resistant bacteria much that I saw, so that'll probably keep being more and more of an issue.

Everyone predicted a second Great Depression during Covid that lined up with 1929... Well, Trump and his friends might drive us toward that in 2029, or earlier.

AI peaks and we can't eke out much more real benefit from it, but there's too much investment in it for businesses to admit it, so the grifters spin into high gear.

Elon Musk and the other billionaires continues to get richer.

The poor continue to get poorer.

Trump pulls the US out of every socially-good but vaguely anti-business agreement.

Russia finally pulls out of Ukraine but keeps the bits it "liberated".

China declares itself to be the biggest and most stable global superpower as America and Russia have spun off the deep end.

Thanks for those, hadn’t found them, but I’ll get in touch to see if things are still running. Great tips.

Good tip on CCC too from previous poster, they’re not far from me, they’re near to stuff I know in Altona, I will grab a mask and head to an Open Chaos night. I passed my B1 earlier this year so my German sucks less than it used to but is still terrible.

This year has honestly speaking been terrible, but all I can try to do is either go back home or find some people to talk to here. You gotta work with what you’ve got.

Longest common subsequence for an arbitrary input is NP-hard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence

Some narrow versions of it could be optimally solved with DP, but when the constraints are lifted, you will probably have to pay for it with either exponential memory or time.

Same applies to the Knapsack problem. You can solve some variants of it with DP, but it won't generalize.

My point is that every extant implementation of Objective-C outside of Apple's own developer tools is inspired by and used by current or former Apple platform developers.

Nobody today who was never an Apple platform developer has any interest in Objective-C. And that's why my statement is not too strong.

Objective-C developers are a dying breed even within the Apple developer community. I continue to use Objective-C exclusively myself, but I'm a minority.
> On the other hand you can take any CUDA binary even one that dates back to the original Tesla and run it on any modern NVIDIA GPU

This particular difference stems the fact that NVIDIA has PTX and AMD does not have any such thing. Ie this kind of backwards compatibility will never be possible on AMD.
Now it looks better close to the 0. Did the OP change the implementation?

ALso, I noticed that there is a real/imaginary/complex menu. I was looking at the real part of the complex versions, but it's necesary to look at the complete complex version to understand them.

Note that the graphic in Wikipedia is showing the real versions. In the real versions you for l=1 the functions in directions x, y and z[m=0], and all of them look identical except for the direction. But in the complex versions you have (x+iy)/sqrt(2)[m=1], (x-iy)/sqrt(2)[m=-1] and z[m=0], and when you show only the real part of them the first two are smaller.
List of Classified Document Leaks for War Thunder: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=29240...

Apparently the latest incident was a repost of a document that was first leaked on the forum back in 2023 (see Eurofighter Typhoon).
This article really hits home. I've experienced the same struggle with loneliness in a new city. The idea of a structured social gathering, like a Stammtisch, makes a lot of sense. Maybe I should find a local group or even start one myself.
This is already so fun, amazing job I purchased early access.
I'm still not sure how they plan to enforce this. Even now, I see an age verification popup on both illicit sites and even sites I feel are innocuous. But I can just click that I'm old enough to move on.

If the social media companies are only trying to shift blame, this makes sense. They're not liable if the customer lies.

But if that loophole is closed, the only way to enforce age approved sites would be a global identity system that is somehow inextricably linked to your real-life persona. Everything you do online is linked to who you are. And that's VERY dystopian and doesn't (yet) exist to my knowledge.
Or apparently Tyson in his prime vs Tyson in his late 50s.

The kind of stuff being leaked on War Thunder forums is generally Restricted or Confidential at best
I was explaining this to younger friends over the weekend - before everyone had phones in their pockets, we would head to the pub. Every Friday and Saturday evening, same pub, same time. A bunch of us would be there, and the night would progress from there. If you couldn't make it, you didn't turn up, simple as.

If we were feeling sociable on a weeknight, we headed to the same pub. There'd usually be one or two others that felt the same, and they'd introduce us to others, and the circle spread.

Go to the pub more than 3 times over a couple of weeks and you'd start to be known as a regular, and introduced to the other regulars. Over time, those random introductions became the core of your social life.

Now, of course, we don't need to do this because we can tell the group chat which bar we're meeting at. I'm not sure it's an improvement.

The buzzkill when you fire up the latest most powerful model only for it to tell you that peanut is not typically found in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
If the benchmark is not representative of normal usage* then the benchmark and the plot being shown are not useful at all from a user/business perspective and the focus on the breakthrough scores of o3-low and o3-high in ARC-AGI would be highly misleading. And also the "representative" point is really moot from the discussion perspective (i.e. saying o3 stomps benchmarks, but the benchmarks aren't representative).

*I don't think that is the case as you can at least make relative conclusions (i.e. o3 vs o1 series, o3-low is 4x to 20x the cost for ~3x the perf). Even if it is pure marketing they expect people to draw conclusions using the perf/cost plot from Arc.

PS: I know there are more benchmarks like SWE-Bench and Frontier Math, but this is the only one showing data about o3-low/high costs without considering the CodeForces plot that includes o3-mini (that one does look interesting, though right now is vaporware) but does not separate between compute scale modes.
I really doubt there’s anything meaningful coming out of these documents. It’s not going to change any literally a single country spends their military budget
It does seem like an improvement. Six or twelve months ago, I recall a lot of crashes and even more basic problems. “If you tune it right, it’s awesome” is a big step forward compared to that.

It’s mostly a light criticism of the Honeycomb perspective. All the value is presumably in the outbound links to thinking about dashboards that the author laments is being ignored.
ok...?

But, it comes at a cost. And that cost is significant. Like magnitudes significant.

At what point does it become cheaper to hire an infra engineer? Let's see.

In the US a good infra engineer might cost you $150K/yr all in. That's not taking into account freelancers/contractors who can do it for less.

That's ~$12K/mo.

That's a lot of compute on AWS...but that's not the end of the story. Ever try getting data OUT of AWS? Yeah, those egress costs are not chump change. But that's not even the end of it.

The more important question is, what's the ratio of hosting/cloud costs to overall revenue? If colo/owned DC will yield better financials over ~few quarters, you'd be bananas as a CTO to recommend the cloud.
Why would they use an arcade like War Thunder when DCS exists?
Don’t forget about Ford.
The problem is that the "we" who are busy trying to make humans irrelevant seem to be completely unconcerned with the effects on the "we" who will be superfluous afterwards.
> We'd all do well to be mindful of the mistake of losing sight of the reason behind the massive support for Mangione's actions.

This is what I fear the most. It creates an ideological divide. Those who seem his action as justified do have reason to hold their beliefs. The justice system often fails people and we often hear and feel more and more these days. It is not about statistics, it is about "the vibe." At the same time, those who do not feel his actions are justified (myself included) have reason for their side too. Both sides have evidence and the truth is that the decisions are being based on different criteria. It's not even that we often disagree with the facts (of course, we often do too), but more that we care more or less about certain things. And if we can't at least understand why others have made their decisions, at least understand why others feel a certain way, then we have no hope of solving any of these problems that we both seem to care about.

What I fear is that while screaming that vigilantism isn't ever justified, that this very same act justifies it.

Engineers that don’t test their own code have massively excessive confidence in both themselves and their QA team.

It’s okay, neither really has to test though. There is a group that will never fail to catch issues… They are inherently so skilled they need no training for such.

They are known as “former customers.”
I don’t really see this any differently from an API billing you per call and still billing you for calls that where you pass in wrong credentials and get unauthorized error responses
Yeah, any situation you need O(n^2) runtime to obtain n bits of output (or bits of accuracy, in the Monre Carlo case) is pure pain. At every point, it's still within your means to double the amount of output (by running it 3x longer than you have so far), but it gradually becomes more and more painful, instead of there being a single point where you can call it off.
> Frontier Math isn't something that can be fully solved without gathering top experts

Tao's quote above referred on hardest 20% problems, they have 3 levels of difficulty, presumably first level is much easier. Also, as I mentioned OAI collaborated on creating benchmark, so they could have access to all solutions too.

> There's no point arguing

Lol, let me ask again, why you are arguing then? Yes, I have strong reasonable(imo) doubt that those results are valid.
Does everyone else have access to the data mining that Google has on every Chrome and Android user? Does every other company have unfettered access to Google Maps without providing identifying data? Does every other company have the ability to utilize Youtube vidoes as they wish?

You are comparing Apple's primary product/service against a throwaway part of Google's. Google has walled gardens around its primary business too. But they are so deeply ingrained into our world that nobody questions it, because there's also no viable competitors.
> Sounds like you really need to get out of your elite bubble more.

GP made fair points and I don't see how you concluded that they are out of touch or elitist.
Maybe check yourself.
It ought to be the law that every in-network claim must be automatically approved. In network providers have already jumped through hoops to have that contract with the "insurance" company, including the creation of documentation to satisfy the "insurance" company of their judgement. It's disingenuous for an "insurance" company to then claim to be second guessing the very professionals' judgement they've already examined and approved of.
