I hear you. I also sense people generally are becoming more anxious. More and more we took granted for decades has a question mark next to it.

But I didn't expect the author to feel happiness, or be grateful for the state of things. However, we can pause and realize how much people still do (for a salary or otherwise) for each other, despite things getting worse for them.

A good bike road with one bad turn is still mostly a good bike road. Still took a lot of caring to build. There's only so much capacity to fix mistakes.
> The current AI tech has opened up paths to develop applications that were impossible just a few years ago.

My argument is that if it's advertised as a direct precursor to AGI based on wishful thinking and people don't know any better, then it's no different to claims about how putting blockchain technology in X industry will solve all of its problems.

I use LLMs daily and don't scoff at AI generated imagery or use cases like agentic systems, but there absolutely is a similar hype cycle to every other innovation out there where people are borderline delusional in the initial stages (Kubernetes will solve all of our issues, moving to cloud and microservices will solve all of our issues, the blockchain will...), before the limitations crystallize and we know what each technology is good or bad at.

Though maybe that says more about human nature than the technology itself.

> It's very different from crypto, the main use case for which appears to be money laundering.

That's akin to saying "The main use case for AI appears to be stealing people's art and even for writers and others it seems to be firing people to replace them with soulless AI generated slop."

I'd even argue that there's nothing wrong with the technologies themselves, be it LLMs, AI for image, video, audio generation, blockchain and crypto, or whatever. The problems arise based on how the technologies are used, or in my argument above - how they're touted as the solution to all the problems. Some people profit a lot, others collide with reality and their limitations at speed.

In other words, if the technology will generate 100 billion USD of actual value but people are betting on 500 billion USD, then clearly we have a bit of an issue.
Getting Americans to download yet another Chinese social media app is an insane psyop. Well done by the Chinese government. I’m guessing all it took was a little tuning of TikTok to broadly promote Xiaohongshu to American users.

Yes, genetics studies are open to interpretation, but not the interpretation that Ashkenazi are completely unrelated to other Jews. The evidence simply does not support that.

Sholomo Sand is not a geneticist nor was his hypothesis based on genetics. The fact that he's a Israeli history professor doesn't mean much here. The man didn't want to be a Jew, religiously or ethnically, and found the most complete way to accomplish it.
It helps that Intel has been contributing to OSS since forever, they have good internal processes established and some orgs develop/contribute to OSS pretty much exclusively.

You could use handwritten asmjs in that case. I did it at work to improve performance on some pixel-wise software rendering we were doing. (We have since then switched to WebGL, but asmjs was a nice stepping stone.) If I recall correctly, it basically boils down to using small fixed size arrays and appending "|0" after each uint32 operation and "+" in front of each float32 operation - so it's something you can do by hand. Of course, one of my colleagues then made a tweak which gave a surprisingly huge slowdown - you should probably declare loudly (with comments etc.) that a certain code block is intended to be asmjs if you do this in a large codebase.
that would be an extremely interesting experiment. Young people would probably feel completely lost, unsure of where to get "news" from. Actually having to go websites and search for stuff :)

Replying to myself to explain:
- The components of the vector (in whatever coordinate system) are simply an array

- The combination of components + basis vectors + operators that transform components and basis vectors in such a way as to preserve their relationship is a tensor

In ML (and computer science more broadly), people often use the word tensor just to mean a multi-dimensional array. ML people do use tensor products etc so they maybe have more justification that some folks for using the word but I'm not 100% convinced. Not an expert as I say.
I suggest looking up the dictionary definitions of the words "war" and "genocide" and seriously considering which of the two is more appropriate for this situation.
The ones in decathlon are great because they have levers designed for smaller hands. We went with rascal bikes, they are expensive but extremely light weight and no coaster brakes, they also have belts so no lubing and no clunky chain guards. I think the idea behind coaster brakes is that kids have weak hands and that it's easier for their brain to only think about what their legs are doing, pedal forwards to go, kick back to break. I know I had them as a kid back in the late 80s and it was fine, even cool. My recent experience with my own kid was opposite to that. We started on a second-hand Specialized Jett 16 with a rear coaster brake (before I realized it was a mistake and ordered the much more expensive Rascal). The coasting brake makes the bike heavy, it prevented her from pulling up the pedal at start and it also confused the hell out of her while pedaling, she would sometimes mistake the direction of pedaling and activate the break, causing her to stumble or fall. It would also be one more thing to unlearn later on.

> goal is to eliminate Hamas, or at least prevent them for returning to rule the Gaza strip. That has not been accomplished

Can it be?

Hamas were idiots for launching the October 7th attack. In part because they trashed any moral high ground they might have had by attacking both military and civilians. In part because they picked a fight they couldn't win. (Granted, they counted on regional support that number came.)

At what point does Israel prosecuting its own Vietnam in Gaza meet the same razor?

Another method is parallel eye though it's bit more complicated than the finger.

Zoom the images in front of your eyes so that they are little less than same width as your eyes.

Try to look behind/beyond the image, as in let your eyes loose/relax. Don't stare at the images instead see in that direction as if you are day dreaming.

Images will overlap at one point. If they don't completely perfectly overlap, reduce the zoom.

Once they overlap, focus the overlapped image.

Method 2: Use kitchen towel rolls

After putting those images in front of you, make a binocular out of used kitchen rolls.

Point each roll to each image.

There you go.

I'm not telling you to personally change your belief. What I was trying to say is that you're propping up the value of your individual opinion as if it should rival experts to the reader.

> [...] claiming that anyone who has a lived experience is stupid (aka, falling for a logical fallacy) is just accelerating the distrust of "authority" at a time when we need it most.

I'm saying that you making a mountain out of a belief does directly translate to a distrust in experts, in a way that telling somebody they might just be wrong/it was a coincidence/whatever couldn't do.

At the end of the day most people just see what the want or expect to see, when there isn't a strong enough correlation in another direction. That's why, a reader, one should not value any anecdote too highly.

> curious about your first sentence: what makes you against unnecessary food additives? Is it a double blind study?

The question reads like a gotcha, but I'll answer anyway: The fact that there aren't enough studies about many such ingredients, and that I don't have time to check which are definitely vs. lack data.
But if it would be a US company people in Europe would have the same kind of distrust like they have right now with china.

The US is even working on their great Firewall. It's red apples Vs blue apples at this point.
I'm not sure that's a crucial difference. SpaceX doesn't operate the way the rest of the launch industry does.

I assume your commentary is that this is bad, but I'd like to know why. I see this criticism thrown at lots of libraries.

All safe code in rust is built on unsafe code. The standard library is full of unsafe code. The purpose of `unsafe` is to encourage that dangerous things are safely wrapped. In business logic I'd question using unsafe code directly, but in a performance critical low level memory management library that's exactly where I'd expect to see it.
They had no choice. If you're Natanyahu on October 8, 2023, and the reports of the Hamas massacres on civilians come in, there is almost no leeway for reacting in a way differently than how the Israeli government and the IDF reacted. What I've heard from "pro-Palestine" (= pro Hamas) supporters as alternatives so far was utterly unconvincing, basically variations of the following:

- The "Israel should disband itself" reply: Give in to terrorists' demands, give them their country, and humbly negotiated for a freeing of the hostages without any military response. Hamas remains in charge as military dictatorship of Gaza.

- The military genius reply: I would have sent only special forces to Gaza to go after the Hamas leadership and free all hostages. No civilians would have been harmed and all collateral damage is avoided.

Neither of these are even remotely realistic. What was ordered and how events unfolded was more or less like any other country would have reacted. Two goals: #1 Destroy Hamas, #2 Free the hostages.

The problem right now with the hostage deal is that it leaves Hamas in charge. That's a huge problem.

There's a spectrum, including people who write almost nothing but choose really nice and non standard cards that properly convey they took time and effort find that specific one, and the people who use generic cards with 1500 words written on every free space they could find on the card.

My main gripe with cards with pre-written message is they deprive from the choice to write simple and obvious things. If your card already says "Happy Birthday" it will just be that much lazier for you to only write that on the dedicated space for a personal message.

In a way, a blank card with only these word would probably work better, and I feel people too often overlook that choice and go the Hallmark way instead because it feels like the default. Or plain bail out of the interaction because it just become a hurdle to them as they don't find anything else to say.

Yes, I see this all the time around my neighborhood, kids get so used to the training wheels, they can just hop off their bike and leave it there while they play some other games. And then they just jump back on the bike. Those bikes can also have all tons of silly accessories, like baskets, ribbons, huge bells, it's not like the kid has to hold the bike upright or learn how to lean it against a wall or on the ground. And then I heard a parent say his kid doesn't want to take off the training wheels, they tried it once for a day and she hated it. Gee, wonder why, now they are waiting for the 5-yearold to tell them when she's ready to take them off. Good luck with that.

> Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Extraordinary conservatism leads to extraordinary ignorance, which we can see in your responses. This is not a personal attack on you, just an expected consequence of how you are hampered assessing evidence by your priors. You will not see evidence even if shown to you, and demand more pretending there's no evidence or it's insufficient, which is no reflection of the evidence, as your assessment is simply blinded by your priors.

It's simply confirmation bias in action: you already replied to a thread where evidence of long funded successful program was presented, but were blinded to it. Nothing to be ashamed of, and understandable - but I need to point it out.

I think you're open and curious - so I'm helping you. Go try for yourself (that's the way to change the prior data you have), and then a whole world of new perspective will open up for you: https://reddit.com/r/remoteviewing

There's no other cure for the malady that plagues you - you'll keep inventing problems with new data endlessly to protect your existing data (which is merely insufficient), a behavior which if you stopped to think about it - I really wish you would - you'd realize is an abuse of the people who are talking with you and of the data they show you - the only way for you, or any plagued by this, to cure yourselves is to get first hand experience yourself.

Underneath everything, ollama can do a lot of the heavy lifting, but it still needs to run somewhere. For decent chat models you probably want a server with either one beefy GPU or a few regular consumer ones (it actually seems to split the load just fine, at least when it comes to Nvidia hardware), whereas for smaller models like autocomplete (where 3B or 1.5B models are enough) you can choose whether to use the same server or run locally.

What? I said Hamas are following the precedent of Middle Eastern insurgents. Tactically. Strategically. In their aims and the source of their weapons.

Hamas have been atrocious, both in the October 7 attack and in how easily they dismiss the destruction of Gaza, but no more so than e.g. Hezbollah. (Less so than ISIS or FARC.)

> Hamas are not "insurgents" either

Israel controls Gaza. Hamas are fighting Israel and hiding among civilians. That's insurgency. La Résistance were insurgents.
