There is wider variability in hotel quality than you know...

I live near a decent-sized college town and there is a hotel right off the interstate. It's a well-known hotel name in a decent (even semi-posh) location, so you'd think it was good and safe. In reality, it is run down, dirty, smelly, has pest problems, long-term residents, and lets just say is frequently the subject of police activity and only the occasional murder. The owner lives outside the country and has no interest in cleanliness, upkeep, or safety. The health department and local government have been trying to get it shut down but there's only so much they can do. The owners pay people to post positive reviews online and try very hard to get the bad reviews taken down.

Their prices are only slightly below most other hotels in the area and all of the photos are from rooms at other locations. So unless you actively went and searched the Internet for reviews for this specific location, you wouldn't know what you were getting into.
Also, almost always highly emotional if you're on a popular subreddit's post.

I picked a random post on the home page, this one for example:

https://old.reddit.com/r/clevercomebacks/comments/1i1b4tn/i_...

The comments are all

"The oligarchs would never go for it."

or "It’s a cult." and on and on.

I think this is particularly true in rage bait posts on Reddit, which is most of the home page these days.
Oh that's great

Pretty sure DOS got it from CP/M, but I'm not sure why the latter would have it.

That said, it probably has something to do with earliest 5-bit and 6-bit text encodings that were very constrained wrt control characters, and often originating from punch cards where fixed-length or length-prefixed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollerith_constant) strings were more common. E.g. DEC SIXBIT didn't even have NUL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-bit_character_code
I agree with your interpretation of that site's text, but I don't believe that text is an accurate interpretation of California law. It would be a violation to cross the stopping line when the light is steady red unless for a turn on red after stopping when that's not prohibited by a sign at the intersection (as in this intersection) or by a red arrow (not all states prohibit turns on red arrow after stopping). But afaik, there's no prohibition of being over the line when the light turns red. Only for crossing while red, or entering without the exit being clear.
Booking through something like Concur is different. Concur doesn’t charge the hotel a fee for booking through them. Concur gets paid by the company.

OAuth allows you to provide information above and beyond just the domain, and the article describes examples of how this could be done. This is just a flaw in how Google presents an identity to OAuth clients.

In other words, right now it's basically "user@domain", but it could be ("user@domain", "unique workspace ID") which would prevent these sorts of attacks as well as make logical sense.
> In current English, writing uses more varied vocabulary than conversational speech, and it uses rarer and longer words much more often. Certain structures (such as passive sentences, prepositional phrases, and relative clauses) appear more often in written than spoken language. Writers generally elaborate their ideas more explicitly through syntax whereas speakers leave more material implicit. And written language stacks clauses inside each other to a greater depth than spoken language. This is one of the most striking differences between speech and text; sentences like the opening line of the Declaration of Independence simply do not occur in conversation.

That's the standard the government needs to meet before it regulates your speech, not the standard a platform needs to reasonably infer that you're calling for murder and terrorism. I should probably have ignored the 1st amendment bait and focused on that.

"Required" is not accurate. You are implying that US immigration policy mandates the creation of fake job postings. Rather, you chose to create those fake job postings in service of some arbitrary reason. However justified you think that reason is, it is still arbitrary, and that was still a choice.

This is similar to what Vlad Vexler refers to as "being captured by the algorithm". That there are people on YouTube (and other platforms) that begin to mold themselves to fit into the algorithm's dictates so as to increase views and engagement. This means they may drift from their original political stance, for example, in order to please the algorithm. And this drift isn't always conscious - in fact it likely isn't conscious most of the time.

If you want to be a content creator on these platforms and you don't want to be captured by the algorithms you have to be very conscious that algorithmic capture is a constant danger. You have to be willing to lose algorithmic points and give up income that you're getting from the platform if push comes to shove. You have to constantly be on your guard.

Presumably there was more than the few days that the comic hints at, between the theft and them getting caught, thus the magistrate probably thought they were so terrible at being deceptful or keeping a story straight, that there was no way they'd not have been caught the same day as the theft.

Or to put it another way, it was a different, simpler time.

Experienced this(or actually, a similar phenomenon) myself during the brief, beautiful moment in my life when I was working in Switzerland and was making as much as the locals, while hailing from a country with approximately 20% the GDP per capita, if not less.

Crazy how the same box of pasta is suddenly three times the price once you cross the border.
I feel like this mindset is part of why so many people are nervous about having kids, and I couldn't disagree with it more.

Your kid is not an optimization problem, they're a part of your family. If you want to do something unique that's going to bore your kids, it's fine to give them something to do; a half hour of screen time while you enjoy that fancy restaurant while traveling is fine. Your kid will be fine.

Sometimes you should put your comforts and freedoms above your kid's. You are not their servant, you are your own person who has your own wants and needs, and those get to win out sometimes. If your kid throws a tantrum when you're in an art museum, yeah, try to discipline them and calm them down and teach them. If you have a rare opportunity to visit a museum you've always wanted to, though, then it's fine to lose a battle or two here or there if the alternative is missing out on unique experiences that you value.

There are sacrifices to being a parent for sure, but the mindset that it's taboo to allow anything to happen that's not immediately in the best long-term developmental interest of your child is mind-boggling to me. Don't raise your kids in front of screens, but being a parent isn't some phase change that means you have to abandon all your interests and dreams and desires; it just means there's one more person whose interests and dreams and desires you have to care about now.

I've only been once, but I highly recommend Blue Dot Festival, which is a music and science festival held at Jodrell Bank. On the one hand it's a classic UK music festival, but alongside the usual stalls selling Peruvian hats and vegan wraps there are lots of stalls with grad students sharing cool stuff that they're working on. Like the best festivals it's good for kids but also good for all night drum and bass sessions. https://discoverthebluedot.com/

It's not even brain drain, America's dominance came from the fact that for nearly a century the brightest people in the world were willing to give up everything to come here. That is no longer the case. Today's Einstein probably isn't going to immigrate here.
That's a good first-order approximation, but is missing some nuance.

An example they use is eggs: Pan-fried eggs are listed as high in AGEs, whereas scrambled eggs aren't. Admittedly my diet isn't the best, but I wouldn't have expected a meaningful difference between ordering my eggs scrambled vs sunnyside-up.

Or for meat, stewed meat would be healthier than roasted meat.

This happened twice on two vacations and stopped me from ever using third party booking sites. I go to them, find a deal, then go directly to the hotels site and book. It was eye opening to know the discount from the third party was not that much more than booking directly with the hotel/resort.
It's hard to know how much this effort is about the government's belief in AI, and how much of it is about supporting the technology sector while using AI as a convenient buzzword.

I think, though, that even if LLMs turn out to be a dead-end and don't progress much further... there are a lot of benefits here.

One of the US's key strategic advantages is brain drain.

We are one of the world's premier destinations for highly educated, highly skilled people from other countries. Their loss, our gain.

There are of course myriad other countries where they could go, many of them more attractive than the US in various ways. Every country in the world is in a sense competing for this talent.

Here's one example on prisons from a quick Kagi search:

"Currently, many think that the goals of [American Prison System] APS are to rehabilitate inmates and help them function properly in the real world. However, the APS’s high recidivism rate and methods of revenue creation support the conclusion that increasing the prison population may be the real goal of the APS."

It's been a while since I looked at it, but I believe PFAL is one of the not-fully-adiabatic techniques that I have a lot of critiques of.

There have been studies showing that a truly, fully adiabatic technique in the sense I'm talking about (2LAL was the one they checked) does about 10x better than any of the other "adiabatic" techniques. In particular, 2LAL does a lot better than PFAL.

> reversibility isn't actually necessary

That isn't true in the sense of "reversible" that I use. Look at the structure of the word -- reverse-able. Able to be reversed. It isn't essential that the very same computation that computed some given data is actually applied in reverse, only that no information is obliviously discarded, implying that the computation always could be reversed. Unwanted information still needs to be decomputed, but in general, it's quite possible to de-compute garbage data using a different process than the reverse of the process that computed it. In fact, this is frequently done in practice in typical pipelined reversible logic styles. But they still count as reversible even though the forwards and reverse computations aren't identical.
So, I think we agree here and it's just a question of terminology.

Lower bounds on clock speed are indeed important; generally this arises in the form of maximum latency constraints. Fortunately, many workloads today (such as AI) are limited more by bandwidth/throughput than by latency.

I'd be interested to know if you can get energy savings factors on the order of 100x or 1000x with the capacitive switching techniques you're looking at. So far, I haven't seen that that's possible. Of course, we have a long way to go to prove out those kinds of numbers in practice using resonant charge transfer as well. Cheers...

As of right now, New Glenn is not a bottleneck for any short term endeavours that Blue Origin is planning.

The only real bottleneck is the cislunar transporter by Lockheed Martin. Once they have the Cislunar Transporter, their bottleneck will be the cost of the refueling flights, not the cost of upper stage expending flights that deliver payloads. That's when they are going to need to start replacing the GS2 refueler with something reusable.

Can Stoke Space deliver 135 tons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen to the Cislunar Transporter? Can Rocket Lab do that? Starship might, but it uses a different fuel, so who knows.

> Holding the field back from what? If the goal of the practitioners of the field is to seek mathematically beauty, then well, that is what they will focus on.

Holding the field back from answering questions about the behavior of simple deterministic systems that arguably have an outsized influence on science, machine learning, and mathematics itself. I don't disagree that "beauty" is certainly subjective, but the mathematics research that gets funded by universities and research labs is only tangentially related to such an aesthetic notion.

> In the vast majority of cases, the difficulty in finding a proof of a statement is not that the statement isn't provable under a given formal system, it's that we simply can't find it

Finding a proof is an inherently algorithmic process. Presumably, the human brain uses heuristics (intuition) that have thus far managed to beat simple algorithmic approaches. But it's hard to believe that's going to last much longer. As an extreme example, simply knowing more values of the Busy Beaver function allows one to find proofs more easily. For example, encode the veracity of the statement corresponding to Fermat's Last Theorem into a program (a k-state Turing machine) that dovetails enumeration over all possible values for x, y, z, and n > 2. This program halts if the statement is satisfied by some set of natural numbers and never halts otherwise. But if we know which k-state Turing machine corresponds to BB(k), then we just run the two programs in parallel and if the Fermat program hasn't halted by the time the program for BB(k) has, then the conjecture is true (necessarily false otherwise). Scott Aaronson has written some articles and blog posts about this.

Now the argument I'm making doesn't necessarily depend on trying to determine more values of the uncomputable busy beaver function. You don't have to know the fastest growing computable sequence in order to derive some benefit from greater knowledge of the halting sequence. If we presume that an interesting proof exists within ZFC, then more axioms (that constitute a more powerful system) can lead to much shorter proofs. This is a result obtained from the work of Gödel, Feferman, Jean-Yves Girard, et al. So while you're right that a conjecture we are interested in might have a proof that "exists" within ZFC, whether the minimal such proof can be written down in a human lifespan is a different question. Considering there are many famous conjectures that have been open for centuries now, perhaps the next step isn't having more people stare harder at the problem but rather enriching our foundational formal systems with additional axioms.
BTW - Structured/Constrained Generation is the KEY to making AI agents better/scary good. Without it, you're leaving so much on the table. This library is awesome for augmenting that capability!!!!

Also, if you're "studying LLM based chess" and you don't use dynamic grammar's to enforce that models can only make "valid" moves at each time step, you're research is basically invalid.

And don't meme me with claims that structured/constrained generation harms creativity. The devs of outlines debunked that FUD already: https://blog.dottxt.co/say-what-you-mean.html

Similarly, if you think that RLHF/DPO or Lora or any of that harms creativity, you're really outing yourself as not having played with high temperature sampling.

I like the idea of made in America and bringing manufacturing self sufficiency to the US. But I don’t like the idea of reducing dependency on Taiwan, which makes it so that the world may ignore their plight in face of increasing aggression from China.

They need to be stopped and the solution isn’t to remove incentives to defend those areas.

This is from Rep. Jared Huffman:

“Project 2025 is more than an idea, it's a dystopian plot that’s already in motion to dismantle our democratic institutions, abolish checks and balances, chip away at church-state separation, and impose a far-right agenda that infringes on basic liberties and violates public will. This is an unprecedented embrace of extremism, fascism, and religious nationalism, orchestrated by the radical right and its dark money backers. We need a coordinated strategy to save America and stop this coup before it’s too late."
