It's a bit misnomer because it defines rpcs _and_ notifications.

What people seem to be often missing for some reason is that those two map naturally to existing semantics of the programming language they're already using.

What it means in practice is that you are exposing and consuming functions (ie. on classes) – just like you do in ordinary libraries.

In js/ts context it usually means async functions on classes annotated with decorators (to register method as rpc and perform runtime assertions) that are event emitters – all concepts already familiar to developers.

To summarize you have system that is easy to inspect, reason about and easy to use - almost like any other package in your dependency.

Introducing backward compatible/incompatible changes also becomes straight forward for everybody ie. following semver on api surface just like in any ordinary package you depend on.

Those straight forward facts are often missed and largely underappriciated.

ps. in our systems we're introducing two deviations – error code can also be strings, not just numbers (trivial); and we support async generators (emitting individual objects for array results) – which helps with head of line blocking issues for large resultsets (still compatible with jsonrpc at protocol level, although it would be nice if they supported it upstream as dedicated semantic in jsonrpc 2.1 or something). They could also specify registering and unregistering notification listeners at the spec level so everybody is using the same scheme.

I’m not so sure both would be nurture. I also don’t believe the premise has anything to do with something as mundane as habits.

You could be a hardcore $political party member, but nothing about that is nature. That’s entirely a result of your environment.

As far as I understand, nature vs nurture is more designed to explain/blame academic performance, ability to manage money, pressure, etc. I remember hearing an old friend explaining it as “a way for the rich to justify why poor people shouldn’t be making financial decisions“.

The core of my argument was against "There is no reason to think that LLMs will improve at all." This is a falsifiable statement if there is one or more reasons to think that LLMs will improve. I provided one such reason. I don't disagree with the part of the statement that "They may degrade to due lack of clean training data." as instances of this have already, and will in future happen. However this is immaterial to the totality of the statement.

Your argument is that there are some reasons to agree with the statement. To show that my argument is false you actually need to show that there are no reasons to disagree with the statement. In effect you're attempting to argue that because you saw some red cars means that another person's statement that all cars are red is true.

Meta argument aside, there are many other reasons to suggest that LLMs will continue to improve, the easiest of which is they have done so recently so far.

I lived in the bay area my entire life. You don't have to go to walnut creek to see suburbia. That ugly shit is everywhere.

Public transit in Tokyo is largely underground. Density is irrelevant. If you have high density or low density above ground, this factor is completely orthogonal to whatever you build Underground. Understand?

>I don't think I'm overstating when I say that American style suburbs with large lots and large homes are not conducive effective public transit.

You, in fact, didn't say ANYTHING related to this matter. You simply stated it's not conducive without mentioning why it's not conducive. I disagree. You can still build it because what's above ground has nothing to do with what's below ground.

The fact of the matter is, once you build this, barring zoning restrictions, the density should follow. Right now the bay area is a political battle ground where rich people effectively price out poor people with zoning restrictions. It's a class based war where a luxury you want is impacting the lives of people less fortunate than you.

If you let the bay grow naturally and fairly then people with your "wants" should move to the country side.

Suburbia is also not sustainable for the environment. It's why greenhouse gases per capita in the US is the worst in the world.
I disagree with the author's assessment:

- There is no way the browser can be instructed to not send the browser agent. Moreso it could be argued that this is needed for making the site work (legitimate interest). Though yes, if it's an extra call to an external URL I would say this is problematic

- As mentioned by the Plausible opinion, it is not being stored. It is also not an unique identifier

As an addendum, when legal discussions happen here it seems they focus a lot more on the fine print than on the big picture. And while the fine print does have its importance, the bigger picture is what has the most impact

Needs some usability testing - I suspect even five minutes of watching a non-technical user trying to use it would be very illuminating. UI is unintuitive throughout. Consider, one of the most frequent actions you will ever do in this type of app is start a new conversation, and here it is represented by a little button near the bottom of the sidebar where you might look for 'Settings' - apparently collapsing the sidebar is much more important. Tiny text, low contrast text, confusing collapsing/expanding sections, lack of whitespace and/or colour to differentiate message pair halves, confusing hover actions for copy, no floating or bottom of code block copy button... I'm pretty sure configuring API keys was weird for some reason as well, but I can't remember what it was.

> One major example which Marco first became popular with was that he owned a barn but wasn’t allowed to use it for the factory since it was a farm on paper. The government told him to move to a designated factory area. He argued that it made no sense since he was living in a very remote area, and the barn was of high quality. What else should he do with the barn? Why would he need to build something new somewhere else? The barn was there already and stood already for hundreds of years.

Of course it makes sense. Farmland is dedicated to farming and producing food/related things. It lacks connectivity, has fertile soil, prices are cheaper. If anyone can just build a factory there, they will have a negative ecological impact (interrupt animal flows, pollute in areas that are supposed to be cleaner, etc). It's the same reason why you can't farm in an industrial zone, nor can you set up a factory in the middle of the city.

Yes, it can be taken too far and abused, but absolutely 100% makes sense and must exist.
What's actually happening is that a lot of the companies used in a Hollywood production are interrelated. The same people own most of the stock so when they’re doing the accounting, they get to set the price they charge for the movie and make their profit on the production side. It’s all legal and GAAP, it’s just the production companies owned by the people who fund the movies making the real profit.
Oh, so it's similar to tech company transfer pricing.
PS5 Tops 70M Lifetime – Worldwide Hardware Estimates for December 2024
you're severely out of touch. Only around 15% of Californians can afford to buy a home. Why can't they buy a home? LACK of Inventory. You can see this on the news, you can quote experts everywhere saying this. There's not enough houses and that raises prices. So how do you lower prices? Build more homes. How do you build more homes? Increase density. Yeah if you're in the 15% sure, buy a big home. If you're in the 85%, well you want to buy a smaller home. You can safely assume 85% of the people who can't afford a home, want cheaper homes and therefore want higher density.

>It's going to take decades (or some catastrophic disaster) to get Americans to change that mindset and give up low density living.

Bro, that catastrophic disaster is called global warming. And you can see the effects of global warming in the weather in the US. There have already been entire cultures and peoples uprooted from where they live because of rising sea levels.

I've been trying to follow the literature on PPO/GRPO as applied to LLMs. From what I understand, since reward is only given once the entire COT sequence is sampled, traditional RL techniques would require some form of credit-assignment to distribute that reward amongst individual tokens – which is where the critic/value network comes in, right?

Instead DeepSeek (with GRPO) seems to just omit that value function entirely and use only sparse rewards. How does this end up being more efficient, since I thought the sparse nature of rewards makes it harder to converge to the optimal policy?

I'm no big lover of short form video content, but Cal Newport comes across as a bit obtuse in this article. Why is he surprised about these videos being used for consumptive purposes? I find the short, attention grabbing videos ala reels, tiktok, shorts, or vine not much different than modern tv. Have you tried watching TV from your peripheral vision? It's nothing but rapid, jarring cuts and bursts of color.

A few weeks ago, I read a 1300 page fantasy book. A few weeks before that, I read a 400 page nonfiction book on a subject I'm interested in. I've also read philosophy, wrote in a journal, watched tv shows and movies, browsed TikTok for hours, and took many walks around the park. I really can't say I find any of these experiences any more meaningful than the others. Anti-consumptive behavior has its place when a life is out of balance, but we're all going to die, so does it really matter in the end?

Technically it does decently well on combined "non greenhouse gas + renewables." This is a rather self serving categorization of generation sources and might not be what people buying "100% renewable" energy think they're actually getting.

In any case, subtracting Nuclear and Hydro, if more than half the kWh purchased in the state are purchased as "100% renewable", they cannot all be possibly served by renewables even in the aggregate.

I’ve seen this girls posts a few times and something came up for me once. At the start I’m sure she said something like “I just spent a couple of weeks alphabetising my dad’s record collection” and I remember that stressed me out at the time. Alphabetisation is like something that a non-collector does when confronted with a collection. I’m a dad who collects vinyl and know that my shelves have formed themselves into sense, slowly over time, and that there is a deep ordering – formed by shifting one record at a time after playing it – based on my taste and likes and preferences. So I can’t critique but it did make me a little sad at the time that the first thing she did was to wipe out the order her dad had left it in, which probably looked like chaos to her. What’s done is done though, I just know that once she gets to the end she might realise that there was a sense and logic to how it had been left.

This is a world I am very familiar with in my day job.

IP address is pretty definitively regulated as PII under GDPR rules. Our lawyers consider that any sort of hash or other derivative would still be PII, and thus require consent.

(While it's theoretically possible to do analytics on someone without an IP address, browser fingerprinting alone has a half life of ~24 hours. It's not a reliable enough indicator for any business purposes.)

But it's all kind of moot anyway. It hasn't been extensively tested by case law, so no corporate lawyer is going to tell you to go with the innovative black box solution.

In our industry, we all await for the completion of the ePrivacy directive. But I suspect regulators have put themselves into a bit of a corner. At the end of the day, TCP/IP is inherently a non-anonymous protocol. Your identifiers are baked into the architecture of the internet as fundamentally as your home address is known to the mail system and your license plate is to the transit system.

Any two real numbers x and y are either equal or have an infinite number of reals between them don’t they? If your real numbers are x and y, then (x+y)/2 for example. The density of the rationals in the reals means that one of the numbers between them is provably a rational number.

What I'm most curious about is how does one get 40 million hotel photos? Is this offered through some Booking.com API etc.?
You can sign up as an affiliate with both Booking and Expedia to get API access to their data. It's meant for people who are going to run their own hotel booking sites with Booking/Expedia content, so it's not quite as trivial as a random free signup, but it shouldn't be too hard to do for a real business. OP's site appears to be affiliated with Lexyl, which owns some other hotel booking sites, so I assume they already have this access.

That said, I would consider scraping, even with API access. In some ways the API access is both limited and binds you to their terms of service, and depending on the legalities in your jurisdiction, scraping could be more effective.
I don't think it's only using sparse rewards because of the format rewards.

I have some smart plugs which I can use to turn things on/off from Home Assistant, but more usefully, they report current power draw. I use this with Home Assistant to:

- Turn on my electric blanket from my watch 10 minutes before I go to bed

- Make my echo dot announce when one of the following finishes:

- A washing machine load
- A tumble drier load
- A dishwasher load
- A 3D print

Some other things I use Home Assistant for:

- Force charge my home battery during cheap electric periods

- Turn off the heat pump if the grid goes down, so I can decide myself if I want to use my remaining battery power on heating

- Announce if my printer is low on toner via a message to my watch

- Program a more efficient routine for my water heating than the native solution that came with my heat pump allows.

[edit] I just added another automation I've been meaning to: If the time is after 22:00 and I am home, and the outdoor temp is < 6C and I switch the TV from on to off, then turn on the electric blanket and send a notification to my watch to inform me it has been done. Done this because I sometimes forget to do it manually and turning off the TV at that time is a good indicator that I'm heading to bed shortly.
> Looks like communication apps will need some pub key to distribute to contacts in the future

that solution is unworkable because non-technical people don't know (and don't want to know) what a pubkey is, and they still want to be able to dictate their number to somebody.

Unfortunately, the only solution that makes sense here is to restrict message sending to authorized devices and authorized apps.
Yeah, people seem to ignore the ePrivacy directive. I frankly don't know why it needs to be revised or replaced by something new, it seems like the GDPR handles it all and more.
