The VM could only make requests if you add a system call specifically for that purpose. Eg. if you add something like sys_request that takes a URL as argument and some input and output arguments. It's not that the VM couldn't open a socket and handle connections by itself, but it's all closed down.

I think when it comes to being integrated into a web server, you ideally want to use the web servers pipeline to make requests, so that you can benefit from the same logging and observability that Drogon (or other solutions) already have.

If you allow the VM to make requests on its own, you just have the IP and an open socket. Not much to debug with if (let's say) you have a customer asking about something.

The KPD paramilitaries (with their various assassinations) and the the SPD (through their alliance with various reactionist forces at the time and the far greater violence they supported) did their part as well. And that's just Germany, not to mention events in Spain, etc.

> The bigger cost is what will happen to your business when you're hard-down for a week because all your SQL servers are down, and you don't have spares, and it will take a week to ship new servers and get them racked. Even if you think you could do that very fast, there is no guarantee. I've seen Murphy's Law laugh in the face of assumptions and expectations too many times.

Lets ignore the loaded, cherry picked situation of no redundancy, no spares, and no warranty service. Because this is all magically hard since cloud providers appeared even though many of us did this, and have done this for years....

There is nothing stopping an on-prem user from renting a replacement from a cloud provider while waiting for hardware to show up. That's a good logical use case for the cloud we can all agree upon.

Next, your cost comparison isn't very accurate. One is isolated dedicated hardware, the other is shared. Junk fees such as egress, IPs, charges for access metal instances, IOPS provisioning for a database, etc will infest the AWS side. The performance of SAN vs local SSD is night and day for a database.

Finally, I can acquire that level of performance hardware much cheaper if I wanted to, order of magnitude is plausible and depends more on where it's located, colo costs, etc.
Although I have heard about Nordic and STM as power saving devices I have not heard of ESP32 as a power-hungry device. I thought it was possible to go low power with certain sleep modes. For instance deep sleep consumes between 10 and 150 μA, depending on whether the ULP is active or not.
There are, but everyone uses variations of the same O(n^3) algorithm taught in college introduction to linear algebra classes because it is numerically stable and can be made extremely fast through tweaks that give spatial locality and good cache characteristics. Meanwhile the asymptomatically faster algorithms have such large constants in their big O notation that they are not worth using. FFT based matrix multiplication, which is O((n^2)log(n)), also has numerical instability on top of running slower.
Thank you, "small amount by higher prices" was wrong. Should be "most of it by small price increases".
Tao is a Fields Medal winner and widely regarded as one of the most brilliant mathematics of his generation. He also often tests these models in good faith.

The cost issue is similar to the bandwidth issue faced by YouTube in its early days. It took a while for countries across the world to get high speed internet. As technology advances, the cost to generate video using these models would go down significantly and perhaps the quality of the generated video would also be better than what it is today.
You are fighting a losing argument created by health insurance companies because they've created years of self-inflicted wounds. Everyone believes health insurers are the problems because almost everyone has dealt with the nightmare of valid claims being denied.

Health provider chains rip people off because that's how they maximize earnings from insurance companies. Insurance companies maximize denials because that's how they maximize profit. You remove one side from the equation and the problem of provider costs becomes easier to solve.

And as an aside, I dealt with my mother being denied healthcare from her insurance provider because they determined her stroke was a pre-existing condition.

There is simply no logical argument you can ever make that will change my opinion.
- (90%) US accelerated inflation

- (75%) US marked increase in military-industrial complex spending, perhaps $800B/y

- (70%) US hollows-out functional regulators necessary for safety, growth, and industry

- (65%) US recession spring-summer 2025

- (50%) US major cyberattack crippling infrastructure

- (45%) US austerity cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security
It is, obviously, exactly the other way around: the system is rigged to maximize earnings for health provider chains. I honestly don't see how you can look at the numbers and come to the other conclusion.

Yes. Cargo and the Rust compiler do catch clashes.

A big advantage of that is that you seldom have to do a clean build in Rust. Make-based systems seem to require regular "make clean" cleanups, but Cargo has enough smarts to really know when it can avoid recompiling.

If they use ZKP's correctly then what you are proving is membership in a set.

However, they are collecting iris scans which means they are the ones building the set and therefore own all the data about all the members of that set.

To do it properly the government should be the ones who build the set.

There are also problems with respect to stolen identities. If addressed, it's not fully private - you are given a token which you must reuse, making you pseudonymous. Or else a single stolen identity may be used infinitely without anyone realizing it.

Title: "RouteLLM: Learning to Route LLMs with Preference Data"

Abstract:
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit impressive capabilities across a wide range of tasks, yet the choice of which model to use often involves a trade-off between performance and cost. More powerful models, though effective, come with higher expenses, while less capable models are more cost-effective. To address this dilemma, we propose several efficient router models that dynamically select between a stronger and a weaker LLM during inference, aiming to optimize the balance between cost and response quality. We develop a training framework for these routers leveraging human preference data and data augmentation techniques to enhance performance. Our evaluation on widely-recognized benchmarks shows that our approach significantly reduces costs—by over 2 times in certain cases—without compromising the quality of responses. Interestingly, our router models also demonstrate significant transfer learning capabilities, maintaining their performance even when the strong and weak models are changed at test time. This highlights the potential of these routers to provide a cost-effective yet high-performance solution for deploying LLMs.

I love writing code, perhaps these software developers who do not will enjoy a different career once they LLM themselves out of this career. Writing 100k lines of code is a great achievement. Sorry to hear you’re so bored.

What is boring is the time I’ve wasted on a recent project fixing all of my coworkers LLM mistakes. I think I’ve nearly rewritten the entire php wordpress plugin. So his work really was a waste of time.

For golang I have never had a problem writing if err != nil. It takes a few seconds, paying some LLM company to write something I could write myself but I don’t want to because “I’m bored” is ludicrous use of time to me.

Thank you for this link! Interesting read. Looking into predictions regarding climate change is interesting. Especially on page 46 (pdf page 66), the section titled "Winners and Losers in a Post-Petroleum World".

> We believe the most likely occurrence by 2025 is a technological breakthrough that will provide an alternative to oil and natural gas, but implementation will lag because of the necessary infrastructure costs and need for longer replacement time. However, whether the breakthrough occurs within the 2025 time frame or later, the geopolitical implications of a shift away from oil and natural gas will be immense.

I wonder if solar's dirt-cheap cost would be considered a "breakthrough". Interesting breakdown on how major OPEC countries will be affected by such a "breakthrough". Great read!

Edit: This prediction is wild also:

> A Non-nuclear Korea?

> We see a unified Korea as likely by 2025—if
not as a unitary state, then in some form of
North-South confederation. While diplomacy
working to end North Korea’s nuclear
weapons program continues, the final
disposition of the North’s nuclear
infrastructure and capabilities at the time of
reunification remain uncertain. A new,
reunified Korea struggling with the large
financial burden of reconstruction will,
however, be more likely to find international
acceptance and economic assistance by
ensuring the denuclearization of the
Peninsula, perhaps in a manner similar to
what occurred in Ukraine post-1991. A
loosely confederated Korea might complicate
denuclearization efforts. Other strategic
consequences are likely to flow from Korean
unification, including prospects for new levels
of major power cooperation to manage new
and enduring challenges, such as
denuclearization, demilitarization, refugee
flows, and financing reconstruction.

> Potential Emergence of a Global Pandemic

> Experts consider highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strains, such as H5N1,
to be likely candidates for such a transformation, but other pathogens—such as the SARS
coronavirus or other influenza strains—also have this potential.

...

> If a pandemic disease emerges, it probably will first occur in an area marked by high population
density and close association between humans and animals, such as many areas of China and
Southeast Asia, where human populations live in close proximity to livestock. Unregulated
animal husbandry practices could allow a zoonotic disease such as H5N1 to circulate in livestock
populations—increasing the opportunity for mutation into a strain with pandemic potential. To
propagate effectively, a disease would have to be transmitted to areas of higher population
density

> Outside the US, critical infrastructure degradation
and economic loss on a global scale would result as approximately a third of the worldwide
population became ill and hundreds of millions died.

At least we didn't get hundreds of millions dead. That's pretty grim.
if you believe their words (and I can't blame anyone who doesn't) apparently they want to lighten regulations on everything except big tech. So there may be a chance all those Google/Amazon cases will keep going on into the Trump administration.
A Paywall ruined that good article. I like the idea of Big Tech coming together for defense contracting, I was a federal contractor for AEPCO in the 1990s. The problem with the federal government is that they have old tech and no money available to upgrade the hardware or software to newer editions, I used to upgrade databases from DBase, Clipper, HPUX Oracle, DB2 on IBM Mainframes to SQL Server and MS-Access so they could use modern PC systems to make it easier to use. They still had 386DX PCs running MS-DOS mostly and I was granted a Pentium system with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 and no CD-ROM drive. To upgrade to Windows 95 I copied the install CD to a ZIP drive that used a parallel port.

Now we have AI and LLMs, and if they still use older versions of Windows like XP, 7, and 10, they won't be able to run Windows 11 unless they buy new machines. Most of the programs are written for Windows so you can't use MacOS or Linux on those machines. Some data is still on floppy disks and ZIP disks and modern systems might not be able to read them. It will take billions to upgrade the PCs to modern Windows 11 to run the latest software. If migrating to MacOS or Linux it will take billions in salaries to hire programmers to port the code to the new platforms.

Hyper can't be the default if it doesn't pass the test suite (that's the bare minimum). And after years there weren't enough contributors to fix all the remaining bugs.

I would agree that the curl project itself should have put more effort in fixing those bugs and eventually remove the C HTTP/1 backend, not the Rust code. That's what happened in Firefox for example, and other projects that adopted Rust incrementally.
> Way too many Haskell projects are about Haskell itself, so this was really fascinating to see.

It seems like Haskell is a good match for the requirements in this case, too. Implicit concurrency and enough robustness from the type system that new filters can be deployed directly to production plays to the strengths of the language. It doesn't feel like the usual solution in search of a problem.
It wasn't a trick, and I'm not subverting or redirecting anything.

Meanwhile, yours wasn't merely a keyboard slip. The point, simply, is that your encapsulation of the last 5 decades was very myopic. Don't mean to condescend, but it does seem that in terms of basic global history you're still playing catch-up, as it were.

The concern (as I attempted to articulate) wasn't so much that you were "lying", but that (going by your statements) you do seem to have a rather blasé attitude about the truth, and/or to have simply missed out on a lot of the major event chronology of the last 50 years. Which suggests that you're much more interested in your moral narratives than in what actually happened, or why.

The irony here is that we probably agree about 70 percent in terms of which side is "bad" and who is to "blame". It's just that that other 30 percent is, unfortunately, complex and intermixed.

If it helps, I hereby mention "legalized torture, secret laws, and secret courts".

In turn, if you like, you can "mention" the ethnic cleansings in Srebrenica, Prijedor, Foča, Zvornik, Doboj Bosanski Šamac and Bijeljina -- and what, precisely, you think the morally compromised Western powers should have done about this general state of affairs at the time.

That is, if these events ping your awareness at all.

I think our issue is much more banal: we are very slow talkers and our effective communication bandwidth is measured in bauds. Anything that could bridge this airgap would fucking explode in intelligence.
Similar thing in Belgium: "stamcafé" or "stamkroeg" in Dutch. It just refers to your local pub which you (and maybe some of your friends) frequent often enough to be a regular. Not to a table. Mine isn't even local, I regularly travel 60km by train for beers and good company in a nice atmosphere.

The flag thing sounds like a very German thing to do. Maybe that's why German tourists are notorious for using towels to try to reserve chairs in tourist resorts the world over? Like draping a flag over a Stammstuhl.
The use of the term VM without further qualification in the title is unfortunate. Emulated VM would have been nicer to avoid confusion with hypervisor style virtual machines.

Staring emphermial hypervisor VMs quickly is more noteworthy (since they are often slow to start) than an emulator VM where it's expected to be fast since it's usually not much more than setting up a datastructure and executing a call to an interpreter. I clicked hoping for the former, only to find out the project is the latter.
'Won't someone think of the poor rent seekers' is not nor will it ever be a compelling argument. The only way this problem can be solved is in the same way every other country solves it: Either tearing out private insurance and fully socializing healthcare or strongly limiting private insurance and having a public option which negotiates and keeps prices low.

You can argue that health providers charge too much and that's true. But the core of the rot comes from the health insurance scheme we've cooked up. And people rightfully blame the insurers for this problem.

Maybe if they dislike it so much they can put a fraction of the billions they're earning towards bribing politicians for a public option rather than constantly spiking things like that whenever they get a chance.
I feel like he may not have even been being ironic, what with the 'channeled' or tapped-in nature of some poems. Someone here posted a video of him reading it, before that he confirms he got this one out in a very short amount of time.
i’m curious, would a CEO _purposely_ leading an effort to automate and deny claims at 3x industry average using AI, which affects peoples lives and in some cases kills them, not be considered murder? (kills them because they may not get treatment they medically need until it’s too late - while they fight with customer support specialists for weeks or months).

Ethically it absolutely is murder. The intent is to fuck everyday people like you and me to make the company some extra bucks.

But that’s just the thing with capitalism. As soon as murder is spread out over thousands or millions of customers, and part of a system, suddenly it’s an “issue with the system” and nobody can be realistically held accountable. Funny how our society works. Apparently the person spearheading efforts like that are completely shielded from the law. Make it make sense…

For what it’s worth i agree that Luigi is a murderer and committed terrosism. I ALSO think the ceo committed indirect murder. He absolutely knew what he was doing to thousands of americans each year.
Makes me think of the 'gang stalking' phenomenon.

There are people online claiming to be harassed by groups of people hired by governments or shadow organizations. This ranges from being followed in the street or having people looking at you menacingly at the supermarket, to being subject to psychic warfare using electromagnetic weapons.

I have yet to find a case that convinces me it's not pathological paranoia.

But where it gets interesting is that these people also claim the "harassment" happens on the very forums where they discuss this topic: some posters allegedly make subtle references to info they shouldn't know about, especially because on these imageboards anonymity happens at the thread level.

After having spent enough time on these platforms, this happened to me on a few occasions: posters alluding to my geographical location, or making mentions of things I wrote in other threads with high emotional involvement. I can't tell whether I'm over-interpreting, but one thing that is certain is that these posters were LLMs. I came to that conclusion using various tricks: context-length exhaustion, talking about topics that go beyond their reasoning ability (such as anagrams), and I noticed they fail to properly understand concepts from pictures or to read text behind a link.

Conclusion: the idea of gang-stalking is not an assessment of the situation, it's the tip of a spear meant to induce pathological paranoia.
It is quite remarkable how his name is absolutely a perfect match for his most well known poem.

Health insurers make an order of magnitude less than providers, and our providers charge 3-5x more than European providers, but somehow insurance is "the core of the rot"?
This looks great!

Is anyone familiar with something similar for Python in general and Django in particular?
Right! Interesting that many good answers on Quora regarding this poem are from English speaking Indians - as least going by the posters' names.
