> It takes just as much ∆V to throw a rock from the Oort cloud to Earth as to throw the same rock from Earth to the Oort cloud.

Yes, but they clearly have the capability to get to the Oort Cloud, and we (other than a small probe) do not. Having the high ground (both physically and technologically) makes holding the Oort Cloud a pretty good spot to be in.

(It also takes substantially less ∆V to nudge an existing rock into a nastier trajectory, and we're essentially a big easy to hit static target.)
> the answer to which is an emphatic, "No." Which is why Protestantism exists in the first place.

Early Church scholarship makes it impossible to maintain the Protestant contention that the teachings have changed in their essence, obviously vocabulary has changed. Some recommended reading on the topic that is a mix of popular and scholarly works:

Amazon Search is now nearly completely useless for any kind of targeted search. Heaven help you if you're looking for a product without a certain attribute most other products like it all have. There is quite literally no way to filter results against one attribute. Even if Amazon has that product, you won't be able to find it.

I eventually just scripted a separate search engine query that's site specific to Amazon. It works but not as well as it could because it doesn't have access to my purchase history or Amazon's hidden granular category taxonomy.
Right. For large-volume requests that use reasoning this will be quite useful. I have a task that requires the LLM to convert thousands of free-text statements into SQL select statements, and o3-mini-high is able to get many of the more complicated ones that GPT-4o and Sonnet 3.5 failed at. So I will be switching this task to either o3-mini or DeepSeek-R1.

Poor Grant in this article was always against the law but now has to talk as if it's a good idea.

I looked into who was pushing for this law; a personality on a Murdoch owned radio station, along with Murdoch's News corp, a TV advertising company owner, and Jonathan Haidt as mentioned in the article, who is an anti-woke anti-academia hack https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2024/07/why-academics-...

Feels weird and gross to me that legacy media / advertising companies are crying over kids's mental health when they've been targeting teenagers with impossible standards and negatively influencing their self image for decades.

My personal conspiracy theory is that it was done to avoid scrutiny of advertising practices. A few months before academics started publishing findings on how problematic social media ads are; unhealthy foods, gambling, alcohol, and just plain scams.

With 'kids' removed from social media, advertisers can better get away with less savoury stuff.

It's almost like watching a stoned centipede having a panic attack about moving its legs. It also makes it obvious that these models (not just R1 I suppose) need to learn some kind of priority estimation to stop overthinking irrelevant issues and leave them to the normal token prediction, while focusing on the stuff that matters.

Nevertheless, R1's reasoning chains are already shorter in tokens than o1's while having similar results, and apparently o3-mini's too.
I think Computer Architecture can be designed around legacy but fun hardwares.

So instead of using some fantasy machines such as LC-3, students can directly get into the world of 6502.

First semester: mostly concentrated on 6502 with a full 6502 CPU emulator as the final project.

Second semester: concentrate on a real machine such as the NES. Students need to learn to improve their emulators to program in it (so, do you need a debugger? a decompiler?), as well as hacking roms, burning roms, using carts to load the games into a real NES, and programming new games for it. The game must run in the emulator as well as a real NES.

Third semester for honour: upgrade to a 16/24/32-bit machine, e.g. 80286, SNES, 68K, whatever, and get some serious project done. Can use C if applicable. The project can even be a simple OS or a BASIC interpreter to pave the way for advanced classes. Or maybe a computer virus, anything that is fun and creative.

OS and compiler classes can also be designed around real hardware and projects. e.g. Porting an early version of Linux to a once popular architecture and add a few small functionalities; Write a compiler for a LISP-like language for that architecture and OS.

You don't even need Data Structure and Algorithm and those BS Java programming classes - they learn them on the way. And if they miss anything they can pick them up on the job.

I haven't had quotations work for me in search in years now, it's really sad how boolean operators have stopped working too. I find it particularly difficult to search for "non latex" products as adding quotes on the total term no longer works and I just get products full of latex. Also I can't use boolean search to find the product because it just ignores the "-" in front of the word and gives a ton of results that match the search term latex.

Just an example where it isn't just making it harder to search for a profit motive but it's actually actively preventing (both Amazon and Google) from showing me the results or even ads for the product I actually want to buy.

If anyone has a good solution to this I would appreciate it, there is often a non-latex version of most all latex based products but finding them online is impossible if you don't already know the brand name!

You have to come into the article believing a ton of things:

1. Tax credits are illegitimate

2. Accelerated depreciation is illegitimate

3. Ownership of productive companies is "hoarding wealth"

4. Journalism is in a battle with the current administration

5. Paying taxes is a good thing

If you _don't_ buy into these premises, for which there is no argument given for or against, you'll be tilted against the author. If you do, you'll be tilted against Tesla. This is polarizing. There is no nuance, there is no learning, there is no insight.

It would be one thing if Meta content teams sat down, thought about it, and decided that abortion pills aren't something they're comfortable having on their platform.

Haha yeah.

I had the same eye opening experience when I first "met" Jira. I was pretty fresh out of uni myself, yet I knew you should never use a business key that people might want to change and always use surrogate keys for your database.

And here is Jira "happily" using Issue Key as both the business key that signifies which project an issue belongs to, which can very obviously change as soon as you move a ticket to another project and as the primary key in their database and thus for everything related to an issue like say issue links.

I was laughing so hard that you couldn't tell I was also crying and cursing at the same time coz I had to deal with that fact.

Folks, with Orin v1.3.1 we're defining a new AI Agent architecture for Fintech supporting different foundational models.

Fintech AI Agents can now perform cascaded tasks using multiple underlying foundation models.
Delivering the best in performance, agentic actions, and execution costs.

A few highlights:

▶ We’ve added Deepseek R1 as one of the foundational models for Orin AI agents.
Seeing pretty solid initial results for logical reasoning when tested on a few B2C fintech scenarios.
*Currently #Deepseek is available only in private beta (without SOC-2).

▶ Our customers and prospects have been asking about Claude.
As it excels in security and stepwise actions — both critical for fintech use cases.
So, we’ve included support for Claude Sonnet 3.5 for Orin’s Agentic actions.

▶ Orin now supports three modes of customer support engagement:
1/ User chat – Embedded on customer portals and help center sites. Answers product questions and resolving Tier-0 issues.

2/ Email queries – Parses email threads to understand customer problems, looks up different sources, reasons out a solution, and drafts responses. Used by human agents to reply to customers efficiently.

3/ Ticket forms – Assists human agents by analyzing support tickets, using macros, knowledge bases, and past history. Suggest responses for customer reps handling the issue.

Top customer cases:

Payment apps –
Handling a variety of user inquiries on rates, payment methods, transaction times, and currency exchange.
Wealth mgmt & Tax accounting –
Managing queries about IRS forms, tax limits, 401(k), and IRA options.

An example AI Agent looks like this inside the customer portal --> See the full blog in URL.

...But there are digital identity providers, like one called Yoti, that can estimate someone's age using facial recognition technology.

But we do want to make sure there is not discrimination, or bias, and some of these technologies are less accurate depending on the kind of face being scanned. I met with an age assurance provider last week in Washington, D.C., who is using an AI-based system that looks at hand movements and has a 99% success rate.

Both of these are interesting: first part implies that face -> age is considered no-go even with NN and even outside academia. And the second part, does that mean one can potentially ask a person to show a hand, or even feed a video stream of hand(s) moving, and make algorithmically generated remarks about the person or the group?
Suffering isn't a competition. Stripping a group of people's identity and forcing them to confirm is oppression btw.

I imagine this is a practical example of tradeoffs and threat models: mapping syllables-to-syllables is quite a lot of information to leak from the plaintext, but if the cost of that was a less suspicious ciphertext in the age of intercepting physical mail, it would have been worth it.

In the age of dragnet surveillance and megaflops it seems incredibly weak, especially with smaller messages.
5.) If citizens report grievances against the local government, such as lost wages, or funds missing in banks, or events where it incites public protests such as death of a child in then hands of local government, the posts will immediately be scrubbed.

Also, it's not clear if the preference comes from the quality of the 'meat' of the answer, or the way it reports its thinking and the speed with which it responds. With o1, I get a marked feeling of impatience waiting for it to spit something out, and the 'progress of thought' is in faint grey text I can't read. With o3, the 'progress of thought' comes quickly, with more to read, and is more engaging even if I don't actually get anything more than entertainment value.

I'm not going to say there's nothing substantive about o3 vs. o1, but I absolutely do not put it past Sam Altman to juice the stats every chance he gets.
Buying dogecoin or any crypto, security or asset can not be deducted though. Losses can be deducted, and the depretiation of various assets can be deducted, but the purchase itself isn't considered an expense and can't be deducted.

I'm not arguing they shouldn't have the right to defend themselves in court, only that most people wouldn't think that as being "patriotic". It's also not hard to find people characterizing Citizens United v. FEC as "undemocratic", even though it theoretically emobies the democratic principles of free speech and the supreme court acting as a check.
No, it does not.

What happens every administration is that the high level managers are fired. Those are political appointees and it is normal and expected for them to be replaced.

What is not normal is going after the rank and file employees. Those are not political appointees.
Yep, this one now flagged. (original in this thread now un-flagged).
For Plus users the limits are:

o3-mini-high: 50 messages per week (just like o1, but it seems like these are non-shared limits, so you can have 50 messages per week with o1, run out, and still have 50 messages with o3-mini-high to use)

o3-mini: 150 messages per day

Source for the latter is their press release. They were more vague about o3-mini-high, but people have already tested its limits just by using it, and got the pop-up for 25 messages left after sending 25 messages.

It's nice not to worry about running out of o1 messages now and have a faster model that's mostly as good (potentially better in some areas?). OpenAI really needs to release a middle tier for 30 to $40 though that has the same models as Pro but without infinite usage. I hate not having the smartest model and I don't want to pay $200; there's probably a middle ground where they can make as much or more money from me on a subscription tier that gives limited access to o1-pro.
I think the point of the accelerated depreciation is roughly equivalent to taking a loan with 0% interest. It's allegedly zero-sum with respect to net income. They get to claim this income later, with various benefits, e.g. more cash on hand in the intervening period, inflation makes that "debt" less valuable later, and it's possible that the corporate tax rate will be lower in the future, so the tax rate on "this year's" income is lower.
Or less jobs if they're investing in automation. Tesla likes h1b so it's not like most good jobs go to Americans anyway.
Actually kWh price is around 30 cents [1], which is similar to e.g. California [2]. I think the problem is more likely to be a world-wide trough in demand (Germany famously relies mainly on exports), combined with the fact that wages have practically been stagnating for the past 20 years [3].
