Honestly, everything I've read feel a bit like regurgitating the same concepts and phrases. There's a bit more from TFA (TFToot?):

>With work being done to implement the Marrakesh Treaty, national "authorized entities" are now able to share accessible versions of in-copyright works with each other internationally, but we don't have to wait for that in the case of works in the Public Domain.

But the WIPO has some clearer stuff:

>The Marrakesh Treaty addresses the “book famine” by requiring its contracting parties to adopt national law provisions that permit the reproduction, distribution and making available of published works in accessible formats – such as Braille - through limitations and exceptions to the rights of copyright rightholders.

>It also provides for the exchange of these accessible format works across borders by organizations that serve the people who are blind, visually impaired, and print disabled. It will harmonize limitations and exceptions so that these organizations can operate across borders.

Via <https://www.wipo.int/pressroom/en/articles/2016/article_0007...>. See also a handy PDF they put out(<https://www.wipo.int/edocs/pubdocs/en/wipo_pub_marrakesh_ove...>), or a note from IAPB (<https://www.iapb.org/news/ending-the-book-famine-the-marrake...>):

>The Marrakesh Treaty includes exceptions and limitations to national copyright law that will enable “authorised entities,” such as blind persons’ organisations and libraries, to more easily reproduce works into accessible formats for non-profit distribution. It also permits authorised entities to share accessible books and other printed materials across borders with other authorised entities. This allows accessible libraries to share their materials with other organisations, which is essential for many developing countries where organisations that serve the blind are often woefully under-resourced.
Public Domain Day in Literature
Sure, everyone wants to be next China and is busy "emulating" them. Biden passed the IRA in 2022 which requires local critical material sourcing/manufacturing and excludes any materials, parts sourced from China, inspired by China's anticompetitive practices since 2015. This practice is commonly called local content requirement (aka, LCA) in international trade lingo, and one of the two subsidies prohibitions under the WTO SCM Agreement.

Guess who's whining? China filed a WTO complaint (WT/DS623) against the US IRA earlier this year, accusing the US of violating what China has violated past 10 years.

The EU is also working on theirs, called CRMA approved earlier this year, but nothing that would match Papa Xi's blatant protectionism; or China's annual $270B fossile fuel subsidies to support cheap energy or overcapacity; or China's insatiable appetite for coals and carbon emission.
>All environmental interactions modify thought processes and behaviour and the internet has many unseen negative ones.

Hey, that makes it: "5) All of the above".

That would be a bingo.

Now I would say it can sometimes be impossible to completely get away from on-line or machine responsibilities so you should carefully review what your options are all the time.

This is the easiest thing to get in the habit of not doing. :\

What if you think you would enjoy "all of the above" or just give it a little try? Is it even within reach?

You would have to figure out how to overcome any obstacles. If it doesn't look easy that's why I say carefully review.

For me I'm badly compromised and settle for "less than all" quite a bit, but pretty much when I really want to.

It's just the damn machines need so much work that nobody else is going to do :(

But there's only so much you can do, and you have to push away from the table.

So I've got a bench with gig ethernet and 4 to 6 PC's which I may run at the same time. That's a lot. Can simulate a small company on only one bench.

And the ethernet cords are right there whenever I need them. I just hardly ever plug them into the internet. Mainly to test and update OS & software. There's plenty that needs to be done and should be worthwhile on the machines alone without the internet. My default is to keep PC's unplugged from the internet except when I have a good reason, since it's so easy to do.

But this way, time away from the internet does not exactly give me time away from the machine.

Though it does feel good to kind of separate the two, and that bleeds over into browsing which I do in a completely different room at a regular desk on a small PC which I do not need to work on.

The machine wastes all my time at the workbench and the internet wastes all my time at the mainstream desk :\

So for better or worse, phone never had a chance to gain a foothold, some say I'm lucky to average 0 hours per day, mainly talk & text not much different than a flip phone which I remember well.

I guess that is so far out of the mainstream now it could be hard to relate to, but even without a "mobile habit" I still have to push away from two different banks of dazzling monitors if I want to get up and do anything else worthwhile.

Then I don't even bring a phone most of the time, I got up from the machines for a reason. I don't want to waste even more time on a machine, or settle for a small screen when I don't have to, plus I really want to pay maximum attention to what's going on around me.

Then there's the thing where you can end up in a posture hunched over the phone in one had, touching it with the other and you look like a Cro-Magnon domino player :)
Slightly unrelated- what you describe yourself sounds pretty much like a “scanner-personality”, maybe reading into this might help you.
When I read about it the first time it was a pretty exciting moment seeing my personality matching and also seeing my struggles with staying motivated/interested after I learned what I wanted as a reason of it
Drivers don’t respect anything in NYC, not sure why bike lanes would be better. The ones that have the plasticky poles are somewhat better if the poles haven’t been driven over already but I saw a lot of unprotected lanes.
I'm not sure about the specifics of UE/Unity/Godot but I was under the impression that a Hello World in any of those for the web would be about 20MB where as the Three.js game I'm working on will be at most 1MB when done (not counting game music soundtrack).
> However, that doesn't solve the problem of what to do with the heat once you have it.

Unfortunately they are not usually in great locations for this since you need other buildings, but if you have an ambient temperature district heating and cooling system for buildings nearby (sometimes called a 5th gen DHC system [1] - mainly characterized by the notion of prosumers ie producer/consumers of heat connected to a single loop system, rather than a more traditional supply loop/return loop topology) then datacenters can very easily fit in to the mesh as producers. Temps are typically 10-20c for ambient loops. The main insight is that that operating range is one that can be used quite well for both extracting heat and dumping heat simultaneously at different locations in the network.

You can also of course just add the heat directly to a hot water supply loop, eg [2]

How are you configuring jj without interfering with using the key regularly? I used to have jj bound to ESC in VIM, loved it, but I've since trimmed back my config as I SSH into to many foreign systems to depend upon nonstandard behaviour. But I'd love to have it in Tmux.

The obvious `set -g prefix jj` throws an error that the key j is a bad key. Various experimenting with bind and unbind have not resulted in success, and I can't seem to find an example .tmux.conf with that config to copy.
And what prompt would you give that does have novel input.
I found it easiest to use Aider with Claude. It's also IDE independent.
o3 is able to get 25% on never seen before frontiermath problems. sure, the models do better when the answer is directly in their dataset but they’ve already surpassed the average human in novelty on held out problems
>It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in explosive materials without a license issued under this chapter

Seems fairly clear cut. You could argue the term "business" means they need to be selling the stuff, but the definitions clarify "manufacturing" includes for personal use.

edit it never occurred to me he may be licensed. Still, this particular explosive seems to have no approved use, and the licensing seems to be for specific explosives. I may be wrong on that though.

And it's Virginia, the Isle of Wight is a county in Virginia.
I think that if you want to work for somebody else, such broad experience can be a bit of a burden.

HR people want to pigeonhole you in a 2 line paragraph to know which profile you fit. So I try to make it easier for them… I work out industries /roles I can realistically target, and prune / rearrange / focus experience to match their checklist. Almost spell out in neon lights which is my profile.

Once you pass the first round you can loosen up a bit and make space in your story for additional relevant experience.

Also, make sure it’s relevant experience. If the role is multi country, I highlight international exposure (even if the actual content is not relevant for the role)

Good luck !
Sweden begins wolf hunt as it aims to halve endangered animal's population
The only thing he is actually charged with is possession of a short barreled rifle. The prosecutor's documents do not even have photographs of the portion of the firearm that would establish whether it was configured as a "rifle" - it is perfectly legal under federal law to possess an AR style pistol with a naked buffer tube or a pistol brace, without a tax stamp.

In the one photograph they do have of this firearm, they intentionally crop it so that it is not possible to evaluate.
Another application is removal of large rocks, or excavation in places where the bedrock is close to the surface. I recall seeing this done in Ridgefield, Connecticut some decades ago. The excavation was right next to a building and a mat was used to contain fragments.
Yeah, you pretty much just described some of the worst interview experiences I've ever had. Seeing you write it here like this makes me feel much less alone. Thought I'd say I appreciate it.
The point is that the “good student” will still do well on the variations, not suffer a 30% decrease in grade.
I disagree. I checked Georgetown, TX for comparable homes in the area (3b/2ba, ~1500 sqft) and it seems many houses are going for under $400k. But “Dyce” sells for $470k.

https://www.lennar.com/new-homes/texas/austin-central-texas/...

Just as a random example, this is a comparable house (bigger in fact) and selling for $365k.

(Guessing here) It does tokenization and prediction for a whole sentence, not fragments of words.

I like this idea because that's how humans think. We mentally formulate a whole sentence, then say it. People who don't do this speak in run-ons and word salad.
But putnam isn’t an official test? I find llm discourse on hn so frustrating
Your points would be more convincing if you didn’t preface them with arrogant cynicism.
It certainly feels like certain patterns are hardcoded special cases, particularly to do with math.

"Solve (1503+5171)*(9494-4823)" reliably gets the correct answer from ChatGPT

"Write a poem about the solution to (1503+5171)*(9494-4823)" hallucinates an incorrect answer though

That suggests to me that they've papered over the models inability to do basic math, but it's a hack that doesn't generalize beyond the simplest cases.
Of course, Rust evangelists are also more than slightly biased.
My experience, also being 40+ with a somewhat weird CV, is that SRE positions are good option. SRE/Operations, especially consulting, is a great place for weird CVs, because you need to be a "jack of all/many trades".

Based on your experience I'd definitely look for small to medium size SRE/operations consulting companies. I think most of those would see your CV as a positive.
> you are not under obligation to disclose each and every experience in your CV,

This is great advice, which I followed as a 40+ coming from another domain who went back to university to retrain. However YMMV, most North America, UK, some countries in Central Europe, are pretty PC (at least at surface level) with regards to rules against age discrimination. However, other job markets like Germany, Switzerland, Austria, expect stuff like CV photos and DoB in your CV header, which makes it harder to ommit stuff because HR people love to jump on timeline 'gaps'.

Your third point is the most important for 40+.

As you age, network becomes far more relevant and job applications less so. Specially now with all the LLM usage both on employer and job applicant sides it is likely a very frustrating numbers game.
From the article, there seemed to be evidence of mental instability and propensity towards violence.

I don’t know the line but it seems this would obviously warrant investigation regardless of if this person broke a law. I say that as someone who believes in limited government.
How could they remove it?

Those are well known problems, that people talk about on different contexts. They would have to review their entire training set.
The car began as a luxurious convenience for the wealthy to avoid public transit. Then it enabled the vast expansion of the suburbs.

The problem is the suburban home is a prison. If you are in one, and don’t have access to a functioning car with a person to drive it, you can’t go anywhere. Even a healthy person will have to walk very far to reach anything.

And so the car became associated with freedom. Of course, people who live in cities with public transit don’t need a car to be free.

While the car allows one to break free of a suburban home, it is itself another prison. Owning and using a car means you must find a place to park it. Pay to fuel it. Pay for insurance. Pay for a new car every once in awhile. Pay to maintain it. If anything happens to the car, you have to take care of it. Any moment your life can be interrupted and ruined if there is any car related issue to take care of. Time lost sitting in traffic. Serious injuries or even lives lost to crashes.

Sold my car over a decade ago, and haven’t owned another one since. I get in a car only a handful of times per year, if at all. One of the best decisions I ever made.
I'm also planning to release it on Steam, and it will be an upfront cost there.

Also after paying the 'remove ads' price, which will likely be cheaper than the price I'm planning to sell it for on Steam (thinking $2.99 for mobile right now), the game will effectively become the same as the Steam version anyway.

I agree that it sucks. I wish I could just put $2.99 as the price and it would still have a chance of selling decently. One of the iOS games I made a long time ago I did exactly that (actually I priced it at $1.99). But people were also willing to pay $1-2 for Angry Bird-style mobile games by the millions back then.

Now there are so many free games on there, they seem to just skip over to the next free game instead, and maybe pay to have ads removed (my own partner does this, bounce from free game to free game, and if she likes the game she pays to remove the ads).

So many negative comments as if o3 didn’t get 25% on frontiermath - which is absolutely nuts.

Sure, LLMs will perform better if the answer to a problem is directly in their training set. But that doesn’t mean they perform bad when the answer isn’t in their training set.
The average human did zero studying on representative problems. LLMs did a lot.
Tesla Adapts Ethernet with Modified Transport Layer for Dojo
Bought. The Kindle edition is $2.99 at amazon right now. Long ago I read Shopgirl by Steve Martin and I recall enjoying it, but don't recall much about it. Looks like it's a movie now.

Just recently, after that SNL skit about the Five Timers Club, I found that Steve Martin was the fastest to reach the Fiver Timers Club, it sounds like in 1977 he was hosting SNL all the time.

Thanks for the recommendation, I've added it to my To Read list (currently working on Doctrow/Stross Rapture of the Nerds, I'm kind of Meh on it).
Incorrect. Cyclical famines were common in India; records of famines go back to 500 BC: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41612-021-00219-1.
When they reduced the price of the dev kit, they priced it below the low volume sales price of the cheapest Orin Nano 4GB module. Presumably the module prices go down when you buy in bulk but for small volumes it was (is still?) cheaper to buy the dev kit and throw away the carrier than to just buy the module. Granted the dev kits went out of stock pretty quick.
If you'd like to post your actual CV, we might be able to give more specific advice.
That said, a bot with contextual recall can be very useful.

The problem is just that people keep insisting that those things are intelligent.
Can relate, as well.

I remember applying for an ObjC job, and getting a Swift test, because that was what the guy interviewing me, knew (this was many moons ago, when I wasn't as experienced with Swift, as I am now. These days, I could totally ace it).

In my case, I just got sick of being abused, every time a tecchie got involved, and stopped looking.

In my experience, the (in-house) recruiters, HR, and manager-type folks were great.

However, as soon as one single tecchie got involved, the glaciers started forming. They would poison the whole thing. It didn't matter, whether or not I "passed" the interview. The tecchie made it clear that I would not be welcome, and I won't go, where I'm not welcome.
You misunderstood. If I can build a house for half the cost, that goes to my profit margin, not a discount for the buyer.
If I was me, I would start by giving a collection of LLMs the patent, ask half "why is this patent novel" and half "why is this patent not novel" and see what happens. I use this method of "debugging" my thinking (not code), might be a starting point here? Not sure.
16-color VGA, not 16 bits (which would be 65536 colors).
Ah, Fluorinert. I remember first seeing that on Beyond 2000, where they demonstrated its properties by immersing a running Macintosh into an aquarium tank full of the stuff.

The predecessor to today's NUCs and small-form-factor PCs was the Ergo Brick, which was available in 386 and 486 models in the early 90s. Inside the Brick was a bag of Fluorinert, pressed to the mainboard, to facilitate cooling of the components within its constrained space.
Should the re-created code be considered as a derivative in copyright terms?

It's kind of a gray area to me as there's so much work on interpretation involved in decompilation. It's very unlikely the decompiled code looks anything like the original source code.

It would be nice to have a leak of the original source code someday to compare but I'm betting it's very different.

On librw, it's a clearer since it's a reimplementation.
I like the idea of entering a datacenter without hearing protection, but would fear the occurrence of a meltdown when somewhere a loss of fluid occurs.
oh interesting. concepts as tokens. Yeah I'd buy that. They do something similar with transformers in robotics, except they use tokens as actions instead of word chunks. Good eye.
This is an idea that I’ve long wanted to explore. It’s along the lines of using the GEFS weather model, where the standard deviation model output parameter can be used to predict how settled a model run is.

Anything you can share? I would love to play with this, although my interest is in marine weather forecasts.
I'd say that startups are a good target for JoMT-type folks. They may be a bit crazy to work at, but they actually have a need for folks that can pivot to many different areas.

I sincerely wish you the best. In my case, I just gave up looking, but I also have the luxury of being able to.
> never seen before frontiermath problems

How do you know that?
Well, I can see how it might be a rugpull or it might not. It depends on what the terms were and what the motivation was for invoking them. I don't have a dog in this particular fight.

Did they actually formally file for insolvency before the new buyout? If they did then there eventually should be an impartial report on this, otherwise we might never know exactly what happened.
they didn’t test on putnam…
There's approximately a 0% chance of Zig seeing non-trivial adoption anywhere other than maybe the embedded world.

It otherwise solves basically nobodies problems in the real world and is just a love letter to C. It's cute, kinda, but that's about it.
Only been to Madrid once, but was very impressed by the design of the subway - as I remember, they have the different lines colour coded and there's matching coloured lines on the floor/walls so you just follow the relevant colour to get to the correct platform.
I am getting bit sick of this triplechecker spam.
This hack seems to be crazy. Someone actually push malicious code in cyberhaven.
Nice! It needs some refinement and a macOS version.
Because that is the whole conceit of how frontiermath is constructed
OpenAI is extremely cagey about what's in their test data set generally, but absent more specific info, they're widely assumed to be grabbing whatever they can. (Notably including copyrighted information used without explicit authorization -- I'll take no position on legal issues in the New York Times's lawsuit against OpenAI, but at the very least, getting their models to regurgitate NYT articles verbatim demonstrates pretty clearly that those articles are in the training set.)
Imagine being able to experience a place that no longer exists. Close to my hometown there was a dam made that completely changed the landscape. But a museum reconstructed as best as they could the area so one can still see it as it was in VR and walk around.

That's one use.

There are many others, such as simulation of human behaviour in a digital twin (you can make sure experiment variables remain the same, difficult to do in the real world), collaboration and ease of access to archeological sites around the world, aiding architectural work, etc...
So if a technology could cut that cost in half it would be desirable even if it took twice as long because in real terms your final cost drops 10% and only takes 2 more weeks.
I read a book a while back about the founder of San Juan Airlines, a local commuter airline, in the Puget Sound area. There was an entire chapter that described the process of the founder clearing the Friday Harbor runway on San Juan island of trees, mostly working alone, using TNT and heavy equipment.

Right, hadn't listened to that one, thanks for the tip!
Okay? We are measuring capabilities.
I'm surprised there aren't more defamation lawsuits on the internet.

I've thought it could be a moneymaker for social media firms to automate defamation shakedowns, just like copyright trolls automate copyright shakedowns. Help those defamed find and the messages and send out "Pay $N thousand and this defamation lawsuit goes away now" messages. Back up some of the lawsuits with $$$ to show the threat is real.
