Porn has always pushed the boundaries of media on the internet. I don't know why people are surprised! Since sex is something nearly everyone does, it would make sense that a lot of human progress were the result of trying to integrate sex and whatever new tech is out there at the time. I am sure a hundred years ago some inventors were pushing the boundaries of motors in sex toys, and in another hundred years some other inventor will be pushing the boundaries on putting sex in holograms.
This is why javascript is so fun.

"Research regarding ARFID is still emerging; the role of serotonin in sensory processing and anxiety suggests a potential mechanism through which neurotransmitter dysregulation could influence the disorder. Moreover, sensory processing issues, which are not exclusive to ARFID but are also present in other conditions (eg, autism), may be associated with abnormal serotonin function, further supporting the need to investigate serotonin's role in ARFID"

USDA ordered to scrub climate change from websites
The basic premise of your post seems to be that the government has unrestricted power and cannot do (or allow to be done by proxy) anything illegal, but that isn’t true.

There’s several hundred years of legal history of state and federal governments being taken to court and made to stop or undo actions deemed to violate the law.
My guess is someone is trying to drive up there American airlines shares so they can unload them. I'm not sure why anyone would want to take over American airlines especially Delta. Because Delta's biggest thing is their customer service is far and away better than American airlines. That doesn't mean that it's perfect that doesn't even mean that it's great It just means that in a relative sense to United and American it's a lot better.

No acquisition is going to change the attitude of the people working there. Especially acquiring something so large means that it's likely to infect the attitude of your current people.

But considering over the last year American airlines has only gone up by 20% or less in value and delta is up like 75%. Absolutely people want to pump the stock so they can get out of it.

A common myth that seems quite well researched [1], no? Do you have some evidence of the contradictory?

> you can adjust your window to whatever is comfortable

Websites all have different layouts, you'd have to change the window width (and/or zoom level) for each website. That would be quite clunky… on devices where it's at all possible.

Forcing users to resize their windows constantly is not a nice alternative.

Wow - this is seriously fast (o3-mini), and my initial impressions are very favourable. I was asking it to layout quite a complex html form from a schema and it did a very good job.

Looking at the comments on here and the benchmark results I was expecting it to be a bit meh, but initial impressions are quite the opposite

I was expecting it to perhaps be a marginal improvement for complex things that need a lot of 'reasoning', but it seems it's a bit improvement for simple things that you need doing fast

The logical conclusion of this viewpoint is that you must fully withdraw from society and live off the land as a hermit, lest you accidentally do something that has a negative externality.
My take is that they’re not necessarily harmful in and of themselves, but it’s absolutely harmful to think that this is the way to grow and get traction. It’s not a repeatable approach and it’s likely to pump some top of funnel metrics temporarily without having meaningful impact to the bottom line.

This can be very distracting if you’re pursuing it intentionally and treating ‘going viral’ as a prerequisite to success.
Roughly, I don't really keep track of precise amounts:

1 cup of water, 1 cup sugar, 1 tbsp salt, a few sprigs of lavender (dried lavender works almost as well). Bring to boil and simmer for 15min to form a simple syrup. This will keep in the fridge for about two weeks. This simple syrup is a pretty fantastic ingredient overall.

40:30:10:20 mango juice:kombucha:grape fruit:soda. Simple syrup: 1.5 fl oz (shot/tot glass) per glass is a good starting point. Something acidic like yuzu vinegar (or whatever clear vinegar you have on hand): a few tbsp. In a tall glass with ice.

I use flavored kombucha, I have found Trilogy by Synergy (available basically everywhere in US) works well with this recipe - but experiment with whatever you have.

Pineapple juice also works really well.

DeepSeek is great because: 1) you can run the model locally, 2) the research was openly shared, and 3) the reasoning tokens are open. It is not, in my experience, state of the art. In all of my side by side comparisons thus far in real world applications between DeepSeek V3 and R1 vs 4o and o1, the latter has always performed better. OpenAI's models are also more consistent, glitching out maybe one in 10,000, whereas DeepSeek's models will glitch out 1 in 20. OpenAI models also handle edge cases better and have a better overall grasp of user intentions. I've had DeepSeek's models consistently misinterpret prompts, or confuse data in the prompts with instructions. Those are both very important things that make DeepSeek useless for real world applications. At least without finetuning them, which then requires using those huge 600B parameter models locally.

So it is by no means state of the art. Gemini Flash 2.0 also performs better than DeepSeek V3 in all my comparisons thus far. But Gemini Flash 2.0 isn't robust and reliable either.

But as a piece of research, and a cool toy to play with, I think DeepSeek is great.
"independent agencies" isn't meant to be at the same level of the "Big Three", but rather agencies that are deliberately created by the Legislative branch (typically) to be as independent as the constitution allows. We don't need the president, congress, and the supreme court to vote/judge on every single decision that happens in this country. We create bodies to do that for us.
Nope. The fact that he's telling you a high-level command is irrelevant. (If you didn't know what “sort the papers” means, he'd have to tell you in more detail; it's just the difference between calling your built-in sort routine or coding it.)

Anyway: He's telling you to do something, and you do it. It doesn't get more imperative than that.

I can't imagine what it's like at Meta right now, with the CEO publicly stating that they're firing the bottom 5% of performers and then a week later stating that the LLMs that his researchers / engineers are working on will soon be able to replace them.

Zuck needs Yann LeCun and other senior researchers at Meta a lot more than they need him. If they were to quit there would be a line out the door to hand them as much money as they want to start a competing open research lab. I bet a ton of top researchers from other labs would be happy to join too, since from what I've heard from friends they're all miserable from dealing with incompetent management.

On current trajectory one of Sam Altman / Zuck / Elon will end up having full control over the frontier models that are trained on their huge new clusters. All 3 of them are unaccountable to anyone.

If google had to face the reality that distilling their search engine into multiple case-specific engines would have resulted in vastly superior search results, they surely would done (or considered) it.

Fortunately for them a monolith search engine was perfectly fine (and likely optimal due to accrued network effects).

OpenAI is basically signaling that they need to distill their monolith in order to serve specific segments of the marketplace. They've explicitly said that they're targeting STEM with this one. I think that's a smart choice, the most passionate early adopters of this tech are clearly STEM users.

If the tech was such that one monolith model was actually the optimal solution for all use cases, they would just do that. Actually, this is their stated mission: AGI. One monolith that's best at everything is basically what AGI is.

The way Trump works is that he's careless with details, entirely on purpose. Because it causes opponents to dispute the details he gets wrong, which in turn allows him to frame the debate. Compare this to someone who says something indisputably true, which no one can counter, and so then opponents ignore it and talk about something else instead.

It also allows him to exaggerate, because if you say "we got the best numbers ever achieved in history" but it's actually "just" the best numbers in a century, opponents who point out that was actually done by Teddy Roosevelt 120 years ago and not since are only underlining that it hasn't been done in a long time, while making themselves look like pedants.

But that doesn't mean that "Trump said it, therefore it's wrong" gets you out of the debate. For example:

> President Trump stated unambiguously that the recent crash and tragic loss of life is due to DEI hires, even though all the pilots and air traffic controllers involved were able-bodied white (presumably heterosexual and cis-gendered) men.

A plausible explanation for this is that because they were already all white men, new hires weren't allowed to be, so viable candidates were turned away, leading to under-staffing.

Is that what actually happened? Someone would have to investigate it, but until they do, you can't be sure that Trump is even wrong, or that he's necessarily wrong on the logic of it as might apply to other cases in general regardless of what turns out to be the case here in particular. And in the meantime he's got people talking about the possible dangers of doing the thing he doesn't like.

AntiSlop Sampler for LLM Inference
The way I see it, the dysfunctionality of the Congress and the rule by executive orders have made the President closer to an elected king than the chief executive of a republic. The US is now closer to a monarchy than the actual monarchies in Europe.

It's one thing to have a presidential republic, because you want an independent executive branch. (Unlike in parliamentary republics, where it's subordinate to the legislative branch.) But vesting so much power in a single individual is against everything a republic stands for. It's better to have an executive branch consisting of many independent departments than everyone serving at the will of the President.

It's more about the business environment.

California has, sadly, gotten increasingly punitive on business activity beyond the remit of what one would consider "standard". Such as legally mandating the sexual, ethnic, and gender composition of boards (e.g. SB 826 and AB 979), conditioning permits on companies committing to community benefit agreements that go beyond the direct impacts of the business (e.g. funding art non-profits), increased regulatory scrutiny on companies following activities outside of California that the government disagrees with, and other such things.

Individually, they're manageable burdens, but cumulatively it can get to a point where a business struggles to effectively operate as a market entity nationwide. Particularly for companies that are controversial.

From [0], "The coast here loses a football field of land every 90 minutes." An American football field is about 111% of an acre[1] which means, unless there's been a radical spike since 2021, you're off by ~19.2 acres or ~17.3 football fields an hour (if my calculation hasn't gone wrong.)

The open source model seems to be uncensored, lending weight to the separate filter concept. Plus, any filter needs to be revised as new workarounds emerge - if it is baked in to the model that requires retraining, whereas it's reasonably light work for a frontend filter.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance describes how motorcycle maintenance by the owner is qualitatively different from motorcycle maintenance by a professional mechanic. The professional mechanic can examine the motorcycle at a single point in time, but the owner rides the motorcycle and can collect observations as the motorcycle runs.

Understanding your body can be similar. While medical expertise is absolutely worth consulting, doctors can only base their diagnoses on your self-reported symptoms and on their examinations at single points in time. The more data you collect and report to the doctor, the more likely you can work out exactly what's going on.

I know someone who lived with chronic discomfort, observed over several years, and after many doctor visits finally pinpointed the root cause. Best wishes to the author on his search.
The chat UI's content_filter is not something the model responds with. Once the content_filter end even is sent from the server, it stops generation and modifies the UI state bailing out.

You can probably use the API to bypass this feature, or intercept xhr (see my other comment). If you start the conversation about a topic that would trigger the filter, then the model won't even respond. However if you get the model to generate a filtered topic in the thoughts monologue, it will reveal that it it indeed tuned (or system-prompted) to be cautious about certain topics.
> There are at least three ways to define a method in a Ruby singleton class.

It's worth noting that two of such ways will, perhaps unintuitively, ignore the `private` keyword.

private
def self.foo
# ...
end

def x.foo
# ...
end

That will define a public method `:foo` on each of `self`'s and `x`'s singleton classes. If you want the method to be private, either 1) explicitly make the method private using `Class#private` or `Class#private_class_method` or 2) use the `class << self` (or `class << x`) syntax in order for the `private` keyword to work as expected.

private_class_method def self.foo
# ...
end

def self.foo
# ...
end
private_class_method :foo # `def` will return a symbol of the defined method name so the above syntax is usually sufficient.

def x.foo
# ...
end
x.singleton_class.send :private, :foo # Class#private is a private method(!) so must be called using Object#send.

class << x
private
def foo
# ...
end
end

It is pretty wild (in the dumbest, lowest information way) that the entirety of Hacker News seems convinced that Trump will drop a lawsuit that Trump initiated in his first term. Matt Stoller is probably the most recognizable name in anti-trust journalism, he is certainly no Trump fan, but he is not this negative. The Trump admin just opened up its first new antitrust lawsuit yesterday. I'm sure Trump will do some stupid and selfish things, but it just looks like a lot of low information takes here.
That's called an out of court settlement for a lawsuit. Two parties can settle a lawsuit on whatever arbitrary terms they wish.
