This seems to be largely predicated on the idea that the more you understand how AI works the more the magic disappears[1], but I think the opposite is true -- I like to think I understand this stuff from the logic gates to backpropagation to at least BERT-era attention, and the fact that all of those parts come together into something I now spend hours a day conversing with in plain English to solve real problems is absolutely awe-inspiring to me.

Interesting take. They are now reading our minds vs looking at our kids and interiors.
We hired new people with less experience and restarted the projects, but in a lot of cases the projects were set back years with no reduction in the cost.
X is fine, most of the problems people bring up are niche and minor. Meanwhile, Wayland induces problems of its own, like breaking all sorts of accessibility systems and multi-window X applications with no solution in sight.
Companies also control things like anti-viruses, etc, on their work machines. It's not just about concerns over stealing information.

100% - even a few years ago, Tether claimed that they were receiving USD deposits approaching $5B per week. That amount of income is at the Saudi Aramco and others level.

Of course, it was all supposedly being deposited into Deltec Bank, whose website was a Wordpress site, whose "Deputy CEO" couldn't remember the name of the country's two banking licenses, and which one Deltec held, or whether they held both.

I guess it's hard to track all of those things when you go from getting your Masters in Science at HEC Lausanne at 15, and immediately being appointed a Professor of Finance at a Lebanese university, all while running your own hedge fund, "Indepedance (sic) Weath (sic) Management" from Jacksonville FL...

Around 20% of Americans voted Trump, and from polls most don’t like him, but always vote R. Die hard Trumpers are at best 10% of Americans. Trump didn’t even get 50% of the vote.

His views most certainly aren’t what a majority of people want, and he doesn’t try to expand by doing things the majority want. If anything he paints those not completely in his camp, which is the vast majority of Americans, as an enemy.
same. I was thinking about doing something similar at some point but this exceeds my expectations. Seriously a great job. Let us know if theres anyway to contribute.
Not sure about DeepSeek R1, but you are right in regards to previous MoE architectures.

It doesn’t reduce memory usage, as each subsequent token might require different expert buy it reduces per token compute/bandwidth usage.

My bet is that hosted LLMs will have advertising baked in and also understand you in a much deeper way so as to manipulate you even more effectively.
Four rules:

If you just want to talk to a few friends, don't bother with the default public mesh config, setup your own with encryption enabled.

Don't use longfast, use a higher speed setting if possible. Longfast will go 10km+ in optimal conditions and in a city environment, won't go any further than medfast.

Don't use the default radio channel, pick another one.

MAKE SURE ALL SYSTEMS ARE CONFIGURED IDENTICALLY - meshtastic is picky about all the radio settings being the same for bits to go through. It cannot figure out that the sender is using a faster/slower bitrate than you are so you will just get nothing. Do not attempt to use them until you've verified that all systems reliably send and receive messages in an uncontested environment. It's very easy to misconfigure meshtastic but once you do, fixing it in the field is going to be very difficult.
It’s a completely reasonable concern if new luxury housing is replacing older rundown construction. If the population growth rate is large enough, poorer people get evicted from the older housing that is then occupied by newer richer residents, and they can’t trade down to other remaining older housing, just out.
My competitors include other social media post schedulers (e.g. Typefully) and I believe the market size is huge, since there're at least 20 schedulers on the market (didn't do the math, but enough for an indie hacker project IMO).

I want to focus solely on Bluesky, which is the competitive advantage since most of the schedulers do cross-platform posting, and cannot focus too much on a single platform.
What I find fascinating is how much it feels like a conversation, but then also like a conversation with yourself. Since you're asking the question, and the AI echos back at you. So I guess one way it can be used is to figure out things about yourself, like a journal. Just the AI helps you to explore questions you might have.

"The Socratic Method involves a shared dialogue between teacher and students. The teacher leads by posing thought-provoking questions. Students actively engage by asking questions of their own. The discussion goes back and forth."

So AI can be an awesome learning tool, for anyone, at any level.
Like many technologies, it is what you make it to be. Even things like Instagram can be educational places.

You should be going into airplane mode at an isolated time before you get to the protest so you don't have a pattern of 10 friends all of a sudden dropping off the network together.

Infact it's probably not the best idea to protest (in a crowd) anymore. The cops know how to kettle, and they have the tech edge. Activists need to think and act more asymmetrically.
Context: I work at a 3rd party cloud consulting company now as an “staff software architect” and I have worked at AWS in the Professional Services department in the past. I find it really dubious that you could save companies $100K a month with a magic script seeing that cost savings come in many varieties and often you need context to know why they seem to be spending more than is necessary.

It often takes refactoring an implementation after doing a lift and shift after determining whether it’s worth it.

And honestly, the way you presented your question, it doesn’t seem like you have any customer facing experience working with medium to large businesses to gauge whether your script is generally applicable to different use cases.

Are they fixable? One of my beefs with Wayland is that every compositor handles things differently. How GNOME's does some setting is different from how KDE's is different from Sway's. There's no guarantee they've even implemented the setting either. In X11 you can always globally configure something for any WM the same way. Wayland by design you can't. It's not fixable. I think it was a really poor decision to do a protocol and just made an OS where things are often too fragmented even more fragmented.
Don't use any containers or even VMs then.

I think there are a lot of technological advancements that are easy to "not like" when you know some select few details about them. Including literal sausage making as another commenter on here mentioned.

T-shirts are great until you hear about the conditions of where they're made and how their disposal is managed. Social media is great until you realize how much they know about you and how they use that knowledge. Modern medicine is easy to not like when you look at the animal experiments that made it happen. And again, sausages - I know some vegetarian folks who are vegetarian in protest of how most meat is produced.

I kind of wonder if there is a subset of comfortable modern society where every aspect is easily likable no matter how much you know about it. Bonus points if that society is environmentally sustainable.
The scary(?) part about Trump voters this time around is that the narrative up to last year forced most such voters underground. It's why election pollsters all failed across the board.

Yes, I read the article. Using these black box jumbles of weights to interpret historical documents is anathema to historical study.

"I’m told that OpenAI’s newish o1 model is genuinely helpful and creative when it comes to thinking through open problems in the sciences..."

"Likewise, although my knowledge of Italian is not great, I can read it well enough to confirm that the translation it offers is good enough to use for research:"

Using a translation for research that you couldn't perform yourself seems extraordinarily substandard for a historian.

The only part I agree with is a simple search to identify sources that may be relevant that you had not considered. i.e. Primary sources to be examined directly -- the way historians have done it for millennia.

I don't think history should be filtered through model hallucinations. It seems an invitation to mistakes.

The reference to a "medallion, or seat of humors, or badge of office" is obviously something being held. The historian specifically says it is not any of these, but a "urine flask." A historian obviously should not take an LLM model as factual.

Later, the author writes, "After all: when you get down to it, o1 talking about a panopticon and Foucault in the above snippet is very, very similar to what a first year history PhD student might produce."

This is exactly the point. A mediocre average of writing that a first year student would produce. Sure it could be used for "I hadn't considered that," but it surely should not be used for any factual interpretation.
I use qubes.

A corporate antivirus is a rather large step down.
They would, but I think challenging facts will be easier. Instead of saying "I heard if from blah" and not having an easy way to fact check it, you just get LLMs to challenge one another. LLMs (today's, not future versions which could be drastically different) don't have a built in goal post mover.

A lot of things liked mir happened over the years and didn't go anywhere. Most tried to fix problems with x that the x developers said were not the real problems. When wayland came it was supported by people who knew the real problems with x. They have also proven to keep working - no surprise at they had a history of working on x.
> His views most certainly aren’t what a majority of people want

I'm not sure what you gain by telling yourself that.

I could just as easily assert, without any evidence (i.e., like you), that every single person who didn't vote loves Trump and supports all his policies.

> If anything he paints those not completely in his camp, which is the vast majority of Americans, as an enemy.

That has nothing to do with whether people support him. 20 or more (exact number varies on the reporting) women say that he sexually assaulted them, he was convicted of one sexual assault, and yet white women still voted for him.

"Recorded history" in the title refers to the period of history where the agency has been recording the numbers. It might not be the best phrasing, but it's not strictly untrue; the underwritten thesis (TB is on the rise) is still supported by the evidence.
Test Evidence Chaos After a Crash with Error Code ER5001
During one of our QA tests, the software completely crashed, throwing the error code ER5001. It caught us off guard because the crash wiped all unsaved progress and logs. We had to scramble to recreate the test scenario manually, which took hours. Capturing proper test evidence for this was a nightmare screenshots, steps, and logs were scattered. Has anyone faced similar issues and found tools to streamline test evidence collection, especially after unexpected crashes ?
To represent the other side, I enjoy reading Urdu and Persian poetry but I will never be interested in reading anything generated by an LLM. No matter how 'high quality' it is represented to be, I'm aware that it was produced by a process that shares nothing with my own experience of the world. It has felt no hope, disappointment, fear, pain, mortality, loss of loved ones, lack of control over itself, a world model that has changed over the years, and doesn't know that it all doesn't amount to much in the end and yet this is all there is for itself. It may turn out to be sentient in some way, but it's almost certainly not sentient in the way that I am sentient. I know it's just mimicking being human as instructed; to take it seriously devalues everything about my own humanity. I'm not ready for that kind of enlightened insight, I think.

I wonder (hope) that for any given issue, the majority of the internet/the training data, and therefore the model's output, will be fairly near to the truth. Maybe not for every topic, but most.

E.g., the models won't report that unicorns are real because the majority of the internet doesn't report that unicorns are real. Of course, there may be issues (like ghosts?) where the majority of the internet isn't accurate?

A truly intelligent person is independent and not attached to a political part. By doing so, this latches to the "Yes men" mentally where those in power are always right even when wrong and probable through the most simplistic means. [0] Polarization leads to stupidity and ignorance to real world statistics and out comes, even in medical treatment.

Self identifying with a political party erodes critical thinking skills. Unless you can criticize the stupidity of all, including those you vote for, you are limited by your own stupidity.

Self identity ignorance is prominent in religious cultures where the church must be protected. The congregation will protect a priest or pastor that is sexual predator and pretend their actions didn't take place to protect their community. They loose their identity when their church is harmed, same with latching to political parties.

> It took me a while to appreciate the significance of renaming Saigon to Ho Chi Minh City.

The interesting thing is that locals continue to use "Saigon" in everyday conversation. It seems like the government decided that wasn't a fight worth having.

Someone told me that several government agencies still use "Saigon" as well on logos and such.

The interesting thing is that "Saigon" came from the French occupation. The Vietnamese ruling under the French renamed it "Sai Gon", and the French used "Saigon". Before the French arrived, it was called Gai Dinh.

The thread is about a tuberculosis outbreak in the US. Subsequent comments include conversations about a US federal government department agency publishing (or not) data on that outbreak.

This is all taking place on an online forum hosted in the US and managed by US entities.

I appreciate that the US has an outsized presence on the intertubez, but you also need to realize you're first of all talking in the midst of Americans.

But why should the public backlash over a company hiring someone with an arrest?

The public has direct interest in the company. More importantly, an arrest record alone means very little and if the person wasn't convicted they are supposed to be presumed innocent.

This is not true. AWS has all sorts of tools and guidance to help you optimize spend.

While we wanted the customer to bring more workloads into AWS, we were all encouraged to help save the customer money where we could. No one got brownie points for coming up with a more costly solution than necessary.
