Not disputing the feasibility of light field imaging. That approach really doesn't do anything for the use case the camera Nikon/Mitsubishi are showcasing. Light field cameras have low resolution for their sensor sizes, lower optical efficiency, are expensive to manufacture, require processing that would make this a bad fit for the near-realtime ADAS functions you need for automotive machine vision, and have no advantage when it comes to favoring one part of the image in terms of angular resolution.

Like, why even mention them?
It'd be a fun experiment to try making it lossy.

You could adjust tokens towards what's more statistically probable, and therefore more compressible (in your example, it'd be picking tomato instead of cheese)
Having been homeless, the reason you see people sleeping rough and not in shelters is out of choice.

Firstly, there are lots of restrictions for entering shelters (many won't allow you to stay without ID), and then there are enormous amounts of rules for staying there which makes it akin to prison for the residents (most of whom are fresh out of the joint). The other issue is that if you are recovering from an addiction, then shelters are awful. Literally every person there is trying to sell you some kind of substance, and when they're not doing that they are trying to figure out some other form of crime that you can help them with to get money for their addictions.

Homeless people just often want to be left to their own devices, so I can see these tiny homes helping there.

The guts of an FPGA are a lot of D-flip-flops in chains, that shift in the bitstream, and then send control signals to LUTs, switching fabric, etc. What I propose is to remove most of the switching fabric, so that every cell is identical, and add latching to every cell's output, to eliminate timing (especially race conditions) as a concern.

Every cell only has short connections to neighbors, so the capacitance of high speed lines that cause such grief in large VLSI designs is mostly removed (you do still need to clock those latches, so those would take some good drive signal).

I think that when trying to determine what is propaganda, all else being equal, a good rule of thumb is that the messaging in support of the prevailing system is more likely to be propaganda than the messaging against it. This is due to the simple fact that the prevailing system (in this case growth focus / capitalism) has all societal institutions built to support it.

Salmon is healthy and it is that simple. You’re bringing up unproductive questions that could go on forever about any food. If that’s the goal, we don’t need the bureaucracy. It’s the same outcome as shutting down this part of the agency, since they aren’t going to declare anything until decades after the world already moved on from their broken guidance and figured out that salmon or whatever else is healthy. No one serious questions that salmon is healthy, obviously. So let’s at least save the money.
some of these companies are straight up inept.
Not an AI company but "babbar.tech" was DDOSing my site, I blocked them and they still re-visit thousands of pages every other day even if it just returns a 404 for them.
I'm still sad about having so many scanners preventing things like pocketknives in public spaces though. I generally carry a pocketknife with me everywhere I go, and there have been a number of times where I just haven't even thought about the fact it's on me when I end up going to a sporting event. They're pretty useful things; I probably use mine a few times a day.

Luckily some venues are nice about checking it with security, but still a pain to have to remember to go back and pick it up when leaving.

Wouldn't it be nice of people would just quit shooting and stabbing each other at things like sporting events :(

From a cursory web search it doesn't appear that LLMs have been useful for this particular challenge, presumably because the challenge imposes rather strict size, CPU, and memory constraints.
A little off topic, but just wanted to say please keep blogging. I learn from your content as I’m also a beginner in databases.
You're right, this approach is too easy to spot. Instead, pass all your blog posts through an LLM to automatically inject grammatically sound inaccuracies.
I wonder if it would work to send Meta's legal department a notice that they are not permitted to access your website.

Would that make subsequent accesses be violations of the U.S.'s Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?
I can't help but wonder whether the problem is subjective, to each person and what they need to accomplish at the time. What is cognitive load and indirection to one at one time is a simple abstraction to another at another time.

And so I wonder if a solution to this is for editors to be able to represent the code differently, depending on what the person's needs are at the time.

Alas, I don't have any ideas on how to put the toothpaste back into the tube. Clearly, we're not reverting to regionalism or localism any time soon. Economically or politically.
I don't think anyone said that either?

You've twice now made some pretty bad faith assertions.
A couple of things. We've spent the last three generations systematically deconstructing our public education system while certain billionaires raid our journalism and social media businesses. Fully half of America actually and fully believe any lie put in front of them by someone with enough power (money) and who says it scary enough.

Americans don't want universal healthcare because then "bad" (read: not-white) people will have it. That's it. Giving something to the benefit of everyone is untenable evil because it's "communism". If you weren't lucky enough to be born into a social class that already has socioeconomic benefits, you simply don't ever deserve to have those things.

This country has spent the last half century pillaging the commons and masterfully convincing just enough of the population that it's a good thing, actually.

Why don't we just change things? Because we no longer own the government. Several billionaires own the government. Democratic change is next to impossible because the game has been rigged so well for so long and nobody with any power has any interest in fixing it. The US government no longer exists to serve the needs of the people, it exists solely to funnel the maximum possible amount of money from the working class to the ultra elite
Transcription (and arrangement) can involve a pretty serious amount of creative input. How do you think they should be handled instead?
Agreed, I think private healthcare is the stronger similarity.
1) Software defined radio. You basically hook up a IMSI backed by a internet connection.

2) That is a good example. Much harder to execute. I would argue in that case that everything is totally compromised. But if the hardware vendors provided a low level interface where one could read and write firmware etc. directly. One could do simple binary comparison analysis.

The point still stands. Figuring out what malware is doing is hard. Detecting that there is something in your system that wasn't there before shouldn't be hard. If the hardware vendors wanted to provide low level mechanisms to make the process easier. Its totally in the realm of the possible.

E.g. the main responder to this thread makes it seem like a impossible task even for dedicated security defense groups. But with just two mechanisms 1) network analysis 2) low level ability to read and write firmware/persistent storage. Its totally possible and straightforward.

> Allowing claims that salmon or water is healthy shouldn’t take long.

Seems suss. The root word of Salmonella is Salmon; clearly it may not be healthy.

Water is just a rebranding of dihydrogen monixide, and we all know how bad that stuff is. It's made from rocket fuel, and you're trying to push it off as healthy?

These insurance doctors are not really evaluating case particulars. They are not second-guessing the diagnosis, they are looking at whether the proposed treatment is the "standard of care" for the diagnosis, and that customary less expensive/invasive treatments have been exhausted. Medicare and any other potential "single payer" government plan would do this also because sadly fraud by clinicians does exist.

For example when I had an injury I had to do 6 weeks of physical therapy (without improvement) before they would authorize an MRI scan and then surgery.
Those words don't contradict each other, they're part of the same thought.
Common resources lead to a free market failure exactly in the sense that they are not considered property: instead, they are free for the taking. Or perhaps it's your use of the word "proper" that is crucial here.

Also, how do you explain how countries like the US are so prominently involved in the climate crisis? Are you going to say the US is not very much free market?
Are you going to use OpenAI API or maybe setup a Meta model on an NVIDIA GPU? Ahah

Where did I say I was unhappy with people expressing their opinions? What sort of surreal strawman are you attempting to build here?

My issue was, quite simply, with the predominantly ultra-left phycho's that have taken a foothold there dominating the discourse. Theres no conversations there, as expected, there's just abuse. It's like twitter but in reverse. Probably why the out-of-touch celebrity mass has transfered there, with the assumption that's what real people in real life are actually like...
> is fundamentally fraudulent that someone can pay their premiums, etc. and then when they need treatment, be arbitrarily denied

This -somehow the insurance industry does whatever it wants. If I get paid but refuse to provide service, multiple times, I will be a wanted man.
I completely agree, which is why I wrote it that way. The behaviors in both cases are close enough to me to not warrant distinguishing.

If you know with certainty you will be disappointed in the outcome of a decision then you shouldn't do the things that drive that outcome. Yet, some people cannot be bothered with long term resolution if the familiar circumstances in the short term are present.
This is what happens when everything has to be privatized, ie, the general problem with capitalism, that the duplication of resources is far more than the system can support.

I genuinely don't know the answer to your question. It seems like a reasonable possible interpretation?

Second question, absolutely. I think we should be worrying about those people. (I personally think safe housing is a right, and something our government should provide, but now we're veering away from Tern's explaining terms to Tern's ideas on housing policy.)
This includes real estate that is worth many billions now. The west coast was heavily farmed by Asian Americans, who lost their property to people who are still profiting from the theft to this day.

The family behind Kokuho Rose, a popular California sushi rice strain, was affected by this. While they didn't lose the land in the end, it was still stripped of anything of value and left to decay by their neighbors while they were in the camp.

A Japanese American has also been credited with kicking off the California wine industry, and similarly had his land stolen during that era.

I'm willing to let OSI own "Open Source", cause why not (do they have a trademark on "Open Source"?), but not "open source".

> What I'm saying is that gun control won't solve the problem, but it will help.

I still don't get how this is supposed to work.

It seems like there are two main categories of shootings. The first is the ones that most often make the news, i.e. school shootings. But the people who do this are typically people who snap rather than career criminals, and then they would pass the background check etc. Also, these are in practice a small minority of shooting deaths.

The second is gang violence. This is where you really get the high body counts. But it's also where gun laws aren't going to be followed, and then you get the same result as you do in Mexico, i.e. stringent laws that do nothing because drug cartels are already operating a criminal smuggling operation and don't give a crap about following gun laws.

The best argument I've heard in favor of "gun control" reducing fatalities is something like, if you make it inconvenient for normal people to have guns then fewer of them will do it and you get fewer accidents. But then there are any number of alternative ways to get a similar result, like subsidizing gun safes or training etc., which don't require you to fight the people you're otherwise intending to purposely inconvenience.

They're the ones serving the expensive traffic. Wut if people were to form a volunteer bot net to waste their GPU resources in a similar fashion, just sending tons of pointless queries per day like "write me a 1000 word essay that ...". Could even form a non-profit around it and call it research.
> only the largest entities can have the best insurance

Exactly. The bigger the better.

I'm still baffled why local and state govts aren't easing into a public option.

Ditto the largest (self-insured) employers. It'd be so easy to extend benefits to their partners, local supporting businesses (eg daycares), and so forth.
> You don’t need to tell people to tip toe around someone’s dad having died because that’s a generally recognized social norm.

No, but I do need to tell them that my dad died in order for them to know. Otherwise, the GM just might bring my PC's dad up out of the past, and kill him in front of my PC again.

That's all that "the form" or Session Zero is. It's explicitly laying out things that you may be sensitive to, so that the rest of the group can continue to behave in that general, objective social norm you're talking about. It's a way for them to let me know that their dog died last week, so that I know that the first combat of the first session shouldn't be fighting a bunch of guard hounds.
> Why? What's the use case here?

I had a tele-medicine visit scheduled regarding my son. When I logged in, it said I wasn't authorized. My wife had no problem. So she gave me her password. We both logged in as her. Everything was fine. I'm sure this was some record-keeping issue, but if we had been using passkeys, I just would not have been able to participate.

I just don’t see the conservative and liberal labels being useful at this point. Trump is a populist who focuses on nationalism, he says what his base wants to hear.

More because lossy compression is what's been analogized to intelligence and this prize is doing a sleight of hand to insert lossless compression as if that doesn't make a difference. That's more why LLMs aren't really all that useful.

Yep. For lossy what could work even better is an encoder-decoder model, so that it is possible to just save the embedding, and later the embedding will be turned back into the meaning.

Strange my recollection of the time was file based databases were much more popular. FoxPro, Access (jet) and Dbase where all in wide use in 90's and early 2000's and ran a lot of business software using network file shares instead of a database server.

Yes, that's one indicator of how the incentives are structured, though there are other factors to consider too - mostly regarding where the money comes from and who is involved in the decision-making.

Perhaps you find it dystopian that people make predictions about future behavior and use them to inform their decisions about who to trust. It's very common though, and is the basis for the concept of reputation.
