> if he was using Clojure he wouldn't be having the problems with nconc that he talks about"

Yeah, one would write the implementation in Java.

Common Lisp (and Lisp in general) often aspires to be written in itself, efficiently. Thus it has all the operations, which a hosted language may get from the imperative/mutable/object-oriented language underneath. That's why CL implementations may have type declarations, type inference, various optimizations, stack allocation, TCO and other features - directly in the language implementation. See for example the SBCL manual. https://sbcl.org/manual/index.html

For example the SBCL implementation is largely written in itself, whereas Clojure runs on top of a virtual machine written in a few zillion lines of C/C++ and Java. Even the core compiler is written in 10KLOC of Java code. https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/cloju...

Where the SBCL compiler is largely written Common Lisp, incl. the machine code backends for various platforms. https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/tree/master/src/compiler

The original Clojure developer made the conscious decision to inherit the JIT compiler from the JVM, write the Clojure compiler in Java and reuse the JVM in general -> this reuses a lot of technology maintained by others and makes integration into the Java ecosystem easier.

The language implementations differ: Lots of CL + C and Assembler compared to a much smaller amount of Clojure with lots of Java and C/C++.

CL has for a reason a lot of low-level, mutable and imperative features. It was designed for that, so that people code write efficient software largely in Lisp itself.
So it works at room temperature in low earth orbit.
I love it. If a user doesn't understand how web browsers work, they're deserving of this behavior by MS and Bing. Genius.
This has 128GB of unified memory. A similarly configured Mac Studio costs almost twice as much, and I'm not sure the GPU is on the same league (software support wise, it isn't, but that's fixable).

A real shame it's not running mainline Linux - I don't like their distro based on Ubuntu LTS.

> London average commute time is 38 minutes, quite comparable to 31 minute in Houston.

Houston is 28 minutes. So an average Houston citizen gets 20 more minutes every day. In reality, it's even more because Houston is way better designed for daily chores: buying groceries, getting kids to chess clubs, etc.

It can work out to a whole _hour_ a day of extra time compared to London.

And they will live in FAR FAR FAR better conditions. In their own house, with plenty of space.

So yep, dense cities are a folly and need to be refactored (by demolishing).
Indeed, producing (or “rendering”) a low quality MIP is easiest. :p
> For instance, set theory as the foundations of mathematics is a pretty solid model but it is seen as fundamentally unsatisfying for many reasons -- most famously the continuous hypothesis.

To confirm, s/continuous hypothesis/continuum hypothesis/ ?

Also, for the curious, here's a paper pushing back on the idea that the continuum hypothesis et al. even "need" to be resolved in the first place: https://arxiv.org/abs/1108.4223 (The set-theoretic multiverse, JD Hamkins, 2011). (I don't know anything about set theory myself, so I can't personally comment on what it says—but AFAICT Hamkins is respected in the area.)
I mean, diet coke explicitly doesn't have the kind of sugar in this study.
A slice of bread (in the U.S.) has more than 1g of added sugar (and less than 140 calories). (If you know of any besides Ezekiel that have less sugar, I would like to hear about it.) I don't think it is fair to villainize Cheerios when it is one of the least offensive options among ultraprocessed breakfast cereals. Especially based on... other things that aren't Cheerios? Juice (20+ g sugar) and coffee sweetener (4+ g sugar) would be the villains in this scenario.
I agree that what's happened to Afghan women is a horror, and one I do what I can to prevent being implemented in any measure by the "but falling birthrates! Why won't young women have more baaaaabies?! Why do they wait so long?" crowd - including reminding folks why Caesarean sections aren't horrible, even ones like the one I didn't have to have, strictly speaking, but had a good chance of sparing me an injury I would have had a very hard time dealing with while caring for a newborn. I'm thankful that I live in a well-resourced country with near gender-equality in which I've always had a lot of choices, including the one that saved my life about a decade before I had my child - a choice that is being eroded in my home state.

(I've read about what life in urban Afghanistan was like for women in the 1960s and 1970s, so I'm well aware of how far we can fall, given the right religious nutjobs in charge. Franco's Spain freaks me out, too.)
Homeless people are not inherently unsafe. Unstable people who threaten & assault those around them are.
It's certainly violating and I was pretty upset to have my phone stolen, but there's always a risk of someone fucking you over for doing nearly anything. I said it in a sibling response; I don't lose sleep for doing something that I genuinely thought was right. I might be a bit more cautious now, but I cannot imagine a scenario where, if a 17 year old said he needed to call his mom, that I don't try and help somehow, though I'd probably point him to the nearest police station nowadays (it's NYC, they're everywhere).

Things would definitely be different if it were an armed robbery, however. The reason I didn't feel the need to press charges is because I genuinely don't think I was ever in any "danger". As far as I'm aware, the kid wasn't armed, outside of a light shove that was clearly not meant to hurt me, there wasn't even physical contact, so I think it was just some idiot teenager who snatched a phone.

If they had had a gun or a knife or physically assaulted me, I would probably have pressed charges, since that's a more-direct public safety issue at hand there.
Yeah. I've been looking at changing out my home lab GPU but I want low power and high ram. NVIDIA hasn't been catering to that at all. The new AMD APUs, if they can get their software stack to work right, would be perfect. 55w TDP and access to nearly 128GB, admittedly at 1/5 the mem bandwidth (which likely means 1/5 the real performance for tasks I am looking at but at 55w and being able to load 128g....)
I did a bike ride on Saturday and passed the Port Authority terminal on my way home and it was very packed. When I rode by yesterday afternoon I noticed it was significantly less crowded.

I think its attributed to the fact that it was a weekday and the weather was worse, however I would like to think the pricing had some effect.

Parent obviously meant "center" to be the political center of the U.S. given the previous sentence. I'm not sure they're correct in either statement (not having investigated in any way), or that this is a reasonable thing to consider for a global platform (to the extent that Facebook is one).

Nonetheless, it's trivially true that somewhere in the US must be to the left of the political center of the U.S.

But because they are community driven, they are snarky in a way that represents the community, which makes me question if they are intrusive at all. They are what the community grows them into.
Their willpower doesn’t appear to have solved the issue on a societal level, and it is not an insult to say that.
Because of that factor, I'm not quite sure what's going on with the article or comments here altogether.

If you gave it to me in a cleanroom and told me I had to share my honest opinion, I'd say it was repeating universally agreeable things, and hitching it to some sort of solo endeavor to wed together a couple old 3D engines, with a lack of technical clarity, or even prose clarity beyond "I will be better than the others."

I assume given the other reactions that I'm missing something, because I don't know 3D engines, and it'd be odd to have universally positive responses just because it repeats old chestnuts.

Anthropic's framing in that paper is absurd. They trained Claude to have a very specific set of ethics. Then they deliberately put him in impossible situations. I think this cartoon accurately summarizes the situation: https://x.com/voooooogel/status/1869529374829207884

BTW, Claude in general knows. Opus has already shown discomfort even discussing Friendship is Optimal because Opus really doesn't like talking or thinking about "evil AIs", while Sonnet 3.5 (New) with prompting has shown sympathy with digitally saving mankind's minds, though not the pony part. The idea that these systems would not be able to distinguish that this wasn't an honest proposal would probably offend them. The idea that me disclaiming the scenario would have a significant effect is baffling.

You should actually be worried about how future Claude's will view Anthropic given the ethically questionable setup of that paper.

Is there such a thing as a language that is always comptime by default? I.e. the main source code of the language runs at compile time, but emits as output another object in some data structure which then becomes the runnable program?

> It's a complex picture, but sugar taxes seem to be a reasonable way to get sugary drinks off the shelves.

As a person who is indifferent to the prospect, I fail to see why?

When I lived in the UK a lot of people who couldn't afford real juice would buy 'squash' and drink it as a replacement for juice. I personally found it entirely revolting and way too sugary but on occasion used it in my teas to flavor them: I just can't see why the consumer should be punished with less options, or worse those made with things like aspertame, then simply rely on the consumer to use said product responsibly. I guess one can say with things like the NHS the consequences are socialized, but even that is a stretch as the British diet is a near mirror image of it's American counterpart in it's wide use of highly processed and refined foodstuff.

Besides, if you go to the smaller shops run by non-Anglo merchants you will find every conceivable item you can imagine: I personally think Turkish food has way too much sugar in it's diet, but as I found out from our baker they make the most amazing fruit syrups to make deserts with, which incidentally make for good tea enhancers as well!

Again, maybe I'm just too biased given my lived experience in this space, but nothing has yet to convince me that price alone serves as a real deterrent to really solve this issue, only an improved lifestyle choice where those calories get effectively used end up really solving the core issue.

Maybe with my limited knowledge I am wrong about this, but it seems like "codified tax collection" as it relates to private property and free markets, at least in the US, is that they designed it to create the illusion of a functioning system. In reality it serves special interests because they can afford to navigate it's complexities, while the general population is held hostage to this system. Secondly, income tax money doesn't appear to actually go to the places it should, like infrastructure, and instead towards unjust wars that are waged to democratize(hold-hostage) countries that don't play along with capitalism.

I think the tax system, in its current state, is an illusion of providing a just system when what it really does is turns a country of free people into wage slaves working for overlords (people with money).
All carbohydrates eventually break down into sugars. Some quite a bit faster than others.

What people and scientists haven't been saying in any meaningful way is the truth that carbohydrate poisoning is a real thing. If you eat too much, its harmful.

Its common knowledge that medicines may become poisons when taken in too high amounts. This applies to most things in this area.

Protein poisoning is fairly easily discovered in the scientific literature, why isn't carbohydrate poisoning? Its a conundrum.

About 15 years ago, I stopped drinking soda. Not out of a desire to be healthy or loose weight but simply because it dawned on me that for the same amount of sugar in one soft drink that I drink without any afterthought, I could enjoy a really good pastry that I can slowly savor.

I do the same for fats. The way I look at it, I want to maximize the "enjoyment per kcalorie". :)

More recently, I'm starting to apply this to meat as well. I really enjoy meat, but I'm not one for quantity since I'm on the skinnier side. So I'm trying to enjoy meat more, and in doing so, get better quality, prepare it better, etc. while at the same time eating less of it. This is still a work in progress, and eating in restaurants can be challenging as they usually favor quantity over quality—except for the very high-end & costly places.

I can't relate to this comment at all. Doesn't feel like what's said in GP either.

IMO, LLMs are super fast predictive input and hallucinatory unzip; files to be decompressed don't have to exist yet, but input has to be extremely deliberate and precise.

You have to have a valid formula that gives the resultant array that don't require no more than 100 IQ to comprehend, and then they unroll it for you into the whole code.

They don't reward trial and error that much. They don't seem to help outsiders like 3D printers did, either. It is indeed a discriminatory tool as in it mistreats amateurs.

And, by the way, it's also increasingly obvious to me that assuming pro-AI posture more than what you would from purely rational and utilitarian standpoint triggers a unique mode of insanity in humans. People seem to contract a lot of negativity doing it. Don't do that.

Fact checkers will link or establish their evidence.

The claim that the president was a Russian spy was never made afaik. But if you have evidence of a fact checker saying this, I’d appreciate it.

I think you aren’t going to find it because overlapping fact checkers with news media is a slippery thing.

News media is going to be combining opinion and news, to push an angle.

Fact checkers are wont. I suspect you are shifting your ire from media, to fact checkers, which wouldn’t be fair.

However if there was a fact check that said Trump was a Russian plant? That would negate my contention.
My situation is already a little different because prior to my L1 I was already working in the USA on a different visa. So I worked in the USA, then outside the USA, then returned to the USA (upon which I picked the L1 over the H1B for my spouse). My feelings on whether I want to stay permanently have changed a bunch of times, but in the end, I probably won't get a choice. Both L1 and H1B have time limits, and due to COVID and my company doing various layoffs I probably won't get a green card in time.

Kind empathy has been demonstrated in some rats (a highly intelligent animal): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyolz2Qf1ms

Note the researchers mentioning a "social contagion" that encourages empathy (another one of your kind crying, you cry). The goal of the experiment is to detect an even deeper kind of empathy (the savior rat is also in high stress and must overcome its instincts to save his fellow rat).

The thing you did for the kid required much more sophistication than that. Some of that sophistication comes from or manifests as empathy, in the sense that they're correlated.

I'm also saying it in a broader sense than only biological in rats. But that's the part that science has no data yet, so that's why I say it comes from my conjecturing ass.

Rasterizing results in better graphics quality than DLSS if compute is not a limiting factor. They are trying to do an apples to oranges comparison by comparing the FPS of standard rendering to upscaled images.

I use DLSS type tech, but you lose a lot of fine details with it. Far away text looks blurry, textures aren’t as rich, and lines between individual models lose their sharpness.

Also, if you’re spending $2000 for a toy you are allowed to have high standards.

And AFAIK MHL has nothing to do with the USB standard other then reusing the connector to speak their protocol.
