> Boom isn’t gonna be at small town airports anytime soon

If I’m carry-on only, I try to show up to domestic flights out of JFK an hour before boarding. Between Digital ID and Clear, it’s a fuss if security takes longer than 15 minutes from entering the airport.

> folks shelling out that sort of coin for a flight expect certain amenities on it

Less cramped than Concorde. At $20k NYC <> SFO, I could see it selling out. You’re only on board for 2 to 3 hours. At $10k or less (Concorde was $13k, inflation adjusted) it’s crossing into prices paid for a lay-flat seat as it is.
Same in the US. What you cannot do is conduct a warrantless search and then use the evidence.
I am subscribed to o1 Pro and am working on a little Rust crate.

I asked both o1 Pro and Deepseek R1 to write e2e tests given all of the code in the repo (using yek[1]).

o1 Pro code: https://github.com/bodo-run/clap-config-file/pull/3

Deepseek R1: https://github.com/bodo-run/clap-config-file/pull/4

My judgement is that Deepseek wrote better tests. This repo is small enough for making a judgement by reviewing the code.

Neither pass tests.

[1] https://github.com/bodo-run/yek
The big deal here isn't that R1 makes any other models obsolete in terms of performance, but how cheap it is $2 vs $60 per million output tokens compared to O1 (which it matches in benchmark performance).

O1 vs R1 performance on specific non-benchmark problems is also not that relevant until people have replicated R1 and/or tried fine-tuning it with additional data. What would be interesting to see is whether (given the different usage of RL) there is any difference in how well R1 vs O1 generalize to reasoning capability over domains they were not specifically trained for. I'd expect that neither do that well, but not knowing details of what they were trained on makes it hard to test.
I don't really understand why people bash so hard on LLMs. In some cases it is a spectacularly bad tool, I get that. But it is only a tool.

Imagine if you have a judge giving out sentences based on astrology books. I don't think anyone would argue the problem would be resolved by banning astrology books from our libraries.
When they had the Olympics in London I heard tourism actually decreased because everyone was afraid of the crowds. [1]

I'm thinking about going to the next Olympics in LA because I want to go back to LA and because LA has always been sane about it: the 1984 Olympics made money because they didn't build an Olympic village -- and they could talk terms to the IOC because no city wanted to host it after Munich.

[1] I remember standing in front of the New Yorker hotel across from Madison Square Garden and some Londoners were complaining that NYC wasn't crowded enough. Crowds in London are intimidating under normal conditions.
>>I've lost count how often an elderly family member (who is still sharp as a tack fortunately) told me that the "police", "your beloved niece", or "Microsoft" called them.

It's very sobering when we realize that we too will one day be just like them.
How do you know that they have actually build a product? They probably just wrote the blog post for now.
> The main issue is "listening to new data in a SQL table".

You may want to take a look at Service Broker[0]. It's the idiomatic messaging and queuing bit of SQL Server. It's a bit of an obscure feature and has a bit of a steep learning curve. If I were trying to implement what you're doing it would be the tool I'd reach for.

So they racially profiled him by only considering characteristics which excluded race?

Article appears to say the cops started with video of both the murder and a guy at a nearby convenience store that looked like the murderer--according to humans. AI was used to narrow down a short list of people who looked like the guy in the latter video. Cops then decided if any indeed did look like him, and also lived in the right area to appear on those surveillance videos. Not sure if that should be enough, but the use of AI doesn't really seem critical.
>If you own a company, why even bother with security? Security is expensive. Wait until a breach is exposed, offer $10 credit monitoring (at best), accept the free press coverage, maybe pinky promise to not lie if you've been particularly egregious in your handling of multiple incidents, and then carry on like normal. (This is tongue-in-cheek, I work in security, but I am frustrated with how often stories like this one occur)

As SRE, I've heard executives say this "There is no penalty for breaches, why care?"
He is such an interesting character to me. I've read a few of his books and some principles he brings up are super interesting and overlooked imo, while majority of the stuff he writes about uses the most handwave-y explanations.
The gun, or a gun?
A few theories.

- Tech debt, they can't easily add or change features anymore

- Performance, rendering syntax highlighted markdown in messages is too expensive

- Performance optimization, by not having syntax highlighting they encourage people to create snippets instead, which goes to different backends and lazily loaded clientside rendering pipelines to support larger files and syntax highlighting.
This is how it works, or is supposed to work, in Norway. Illegally gathered evidence is still evidence.
More importantly, and most people don't realize it, but the police normally find enough evidence to get the suspect to admit and take a plea.

So much of the time they don't need to get evidence to convince a jury, they just need to get the suspect to believe they have enough evidence to convince a jury.

This all "works" because in some large percentage of murder cases, everyone knows who did it, because the "tv show unexplained unexpected murder by someone random of someone they don't even know" is rare.
> super sonic flights over ground just to save some time

That’s the intention. My question is why others’ time is of so little value to you?
"This kind of optimization opens up so many possibilities" was what triggered me.
No matter what new terms are invented, people will reinterpret them to align with their own perspectives.

If "alpha" means good in some social context, people will load it up with all the contradictory qualities that different people consider good.

> In Sweden, all evidence is admissible.

In America, we have the fourth amendment, a right against unreasonable searches.

In Sweden, if I don't have a warrant or probable cause, and I search the house 'cause I feel like it, and I find drugs, can I then use the evidence of the drugs that I found in court? AFAICT, that's a closer analogue here.

Because if I can, then you effectively don't need warrants: just violate the rights of the person, do the search, and see what comes of it. If something comes out of it that makes them look guilty, book 'em! /s, a bit, but the point is that if you don't bar the fruits of illegal/unconstitutional searches, the right becomes meaningless.

> If you have a warrant for say drugs, and you accidentally find someone who is kidnapped in that house, you can still use that evidence to prosecute the kidnapper.

You can here, too (the "plain view doctrine" would apply here, I believe), if you validly have that warrant, which critically, the police here did not.
Why do you think they’re gone now?

(Sounds like hyperbole, as it’s not like non political people just all got replaced.)
The chain of thought is incredibly useful, I almost dont care about the answer now I just follow what I think is interesting from the way it broke the problem down, I tend to get tunnel vision when working for a long time on something so its a great way to revise my work and make sure I am not misunderstanding something
I agree but in the short/medium term, I think it will slow down because companies now will prefer to invest in research to optimize (training) costs rather than those very expensive GPUs. Only when the scientific community will reach the edge of what is possible in terms of optimization that it will be back at pumping GPUs like today. (Although small actors will continue to pump GPUs since they do not have the best talents to compete).
Not sure I follow, unfortunately.

Ability to supercruise mainly only matters for fuel efficiency. It makes little difference to the shock wave volume on the ground. If a Raptor cruises overhead at Mach 1.5 you're going to notice.
It’s more expensive, but Zen4 Threadripper Pro is probably the way to go on that front. 8 memory channels, with DIMMs available up to DDR5-7200 for 8x32GB (256GB), or DDR5-6800 for 8x48GB (384GB). It’ll set you back ~$3k for the RAM and ~$6k for a CPU with 8 CCDs (the 7985WX, at least), and then ~$1k for motherboard and however much you want to spend on NVME. Basically ~$10k for a 384GB DDR5 system with ~435GB/s actual bandwidth. Not quite as fast as the 192GB Apple machines, but twice as much memory and more compute for “only” a few thousand more.
> This was said by Grover Norquist, a thought leader amongst Republicans in the early 2010's.

Norquist actually said that in 2001, not the early 2010s.
Oh wow, look, more shit the general public could not care less about.

This sounds like a company in free fall, which isn't terribly surprising, given who is at the helm.
Why would gov agencies rely on 3rd party services while they could deploy opensource LLMs locally and privately?
It's close enough to "most" that I think it's worth rounding up in most conversational contexts.

This isn't some minority view committing a coup. This is a pretty-damn-near majority using the electoral process to give itself a thumb on the scale to win.

It may not be "what America really is", but it's also not not who America really is. It's fair to say that this is who the world should continue to expect us to be, and that we'll continue to think that this is a democratic country. (Not just that 49.8%, but a large majority, even most of those who oppose the present government.)
It absolutely doesn't. It sounds like further diluting the term "open-source" isn't great.
Good. Gotta redirect em money to whats important; War!
You might have seen some laptops have screens that fold down, I know MacBooks do. This "clam shell" effect protects the keyboard, trackpad, and even the screen from bumps and jostles. Many laptops when so closed can even fit in a backpack.

So a little trick I figured out is to close my laptop lid and then slide it into a pocket of my backpack. I can then carry it with me when I get up and move around.

So then I can take it with me to eat lunch or an extended toilet break. Maybe some day all laptops will have that feature.
Why is a non-smoker’s right not to breath in smoke not included in your calculation? Why is it only the smoker (well the smoker in a very narrow and specific case) that is being “pushed” now and not the non-smokers having been pushed for decades? The closer you live to others, the more your individual actions can and do affect others. The ‘my liberty ends where yours begins' concept. Of course there is no perfect universal right answer to any given line, but there is no obligation to “carve out” anything. I don’t want to be forced to breath in their smoke while I’m in my apartment either, and I don’t have the option to not breath.

Letting it "just fizzle out" is failing to protect the rights and freedoms of non-smokers.
A man cannot step in the same river twice.
Efficiency actually increases the faster you go at some point until a certain limit due to being able to ride the 'boom' turning the energy required to keep the plane up into energy that pushes you forward, there's also special things that happen to friction when you pierce the barrier which are still being researched. Flying higher also means less molecules hitting your cruiser.
.... WAT.

Just kick out the judge who clearly... lacks judgment.
I hate to be that guy, but here's what ChatGPT says:

This expression uses metaphorical language to describe a situation where traditional barriers, hierarchies, or protections have been removed, allowing broader access or disrupting the status quo. Here's a breakdown:

1. "Guards and fences are down" - This implies that the usual controls, restrictions, or gatekeepers are no longer in place.

2. "At the chow truck" - The chow truck symbolizes something previously exclusive or regulated, like access to resources, opportunities, or knowledge.

3. "While commoners are using LLMs" - Refers to everyday people (as opposed to elites or specialists) now having access to advanced technology, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), like AI tools for generating text.

Together, the expression likely means that AI-powered tools have democratized access to knowledge and creativity, breaking down barriers that once limited these capabilities to experts, institutions, or privileged individuals. It highlights a significant shift where advanced tools are now accessible to "commoners," disrupting traditional power dynamics.
well it was a long shot anyway but it doesn’t seem to work on mobile. (tried on iOS safari on iPhone 11 pro)

a 1B model should be able to run in the RAM constraints of a phone(?) if this is supported soon this would actually be wild. Local LLMs in the palm of your hands
> In the long term, it does. It's crazy to read a history of tariffs and conclude that raising tariffs on everyone, everthing and everywhere doesn't hurt you. But in the short term, that demand must be sated, and that disruption creates opportunities.

Actually its the opposite. In the long term it incentivizes manufacturing chips in the US. Domestic manufacturing has bipartisan support (see Biden's CHIPS bill) and obvious nation security implications. That's not to say tariffs are the right solution but the end goal is good and uncontroversial.

It creates economic chaos in the short term because the supply of domestic chips is relatively low and the cost of foreign chips will increase dramatically. This will normalize over time as domestic production ramps up.
This should be unsurprising- see also govcloud: https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us

The US government likes its employees and contractors to have their own separate version of cloud products. For instance you would not want OpenAI using prompts about controlled unclassified information as training data. Most of the things government contractors do is CUI- you don't want it spread around, but it's not actually a secret. The US goes out of its way to minimize how much CUI is exposed, and on top of that you have export controls like ITAR and then of course classified information.
Remember that the average criminal isn't the smartest, and then realize that the smart ones likely never get caught.

(Also, to be fair, it can be part of the evidence presented that the suspect was known to own a 9mm Glock, say, and that he has no reasonable explanation as to why it couldn't be located. This is usually circumstantial but that can be used to explain deficiencies in the case vs used as proof.)
Communism? This looks like the end stage of capitalism affirms horseshoe theory. It was the capitalists who were sitting front row at the inauguration, not communists.

Well, if someone opens this app their goal probably is browsing lists of anime, so the attention grabs you're hinting at are intentional, and thus not 'attention grabs' in the sense the parent commenter is talking about.
He has much more conplete control of fhe Republican Party and, fhrough that, much less practical constraint in both policy and personnel this time, so this Administration reflects his will and intentions much more purely than did his first.
Are you asking if developers are being pushed to make AI products?

Or if employees are pushed to use AI in their jobs?
Lol! Since when has the US government not jumped at the opportunity to pay a company obscene amounts of money?
It runs on a 2022 MBP with m1 chip.

Stuff like llama is okay, but the quality does not match with claude-sonnet 3, much less 3.5. The delay and set up time can be quite significant. In the end, it's just more worth it to pay the $0.07 or so to run it from a proprietary model.

And something like Cursor has .cursorrules and privacy modes and their own enterprise grade stuff. So privacy is not as much as an issue, but you got to do the homework to see if it works for you.

The killer feature for locally hosted AI seems to be that it's consistent. No sudden patches breaking everything, no paranoia whenever quality spikes after demo day and then drops 3 months after. No worrying that prices are going from $20 to $200/month.

AWS Bedrock is also pretty good and secure if you want to use AWS, and it comes with a suite of other tools like evaluation and guardrails.
If someone tried breaking into my account, I don't think locking me out of my account permanently is the solution for them. I have tried different browsers. I have tried both my mobile phone and laptop. I have deleted my app and reinstalled, yet nothing.
This is also known as event sourcing [0] and is a common pattern used inside of databases, in git, in lots of popular software.

I don't generally recommend it for every application as the tooling is not as well integrated as it is in an RDBMS and the data model doesn't fit every use-case.

However, if you have a system that needs to know "when" something happened in an on-going process, it can be a very handy architecture... although with data-retention laws it can get tricky quickly (among other reasons).

Moria (now Angband) was originally on VMS, written in VAX Pascal.

Forbes says there are about 2800 billionaires in the world, and there are like 8 billion people, so your odds are about 1-in-3 million of making it into that class. And it doesn't just take smarts, it takes being in the right place at the right time.

This sort of inhibition is not uncommon. We are creatures of habit.

The leap you describe is a reinvention. And you have taken the opiate of modernity, delegating self mastery for sublime mediocrity.

You must find within yourself to work your ass off. You must find within yourself the “get it done.” Don’t wait for crisis and loss like every other ordinary human. Preempt your inevitable failure and fix those problems before they come upon you.

Money and asset management is no joke.

Play OpenTTD or some 4x games to drill your mind that resource management is the eternal costrategy for success.

No matter how smart you are you fail when you cannot pay rent.

Good luck!
I just don't see how this is true. OpenAI has a massive cash & hardware pile -- they'll adapt and learn from what DeepSeek has done and be in a position to build and train 10x-50x-100x (or however) faster and better. They are getting a wake-up call for sure but I don't think much is going to be thrown away.
I remember the joy when the new RadioShack catalogue would arrive, like the joy when the new HeathKit and EICO catalogues came:

By the mid-1980s it seemed like every RadioShack store had just hollowed out their geek hardware sections and were left to run ''Top Gun'' on VCR endless loop. This latest RadioShack business just seems sad.

Please don't tilt at windmills, the police did a bad thing by not using approved tools and methods to conduct their analysis. You don't need to turn this into something more than what it is.

What proof do you need? I understand you don't want to take them at their word but it's not like the police are going to release the full forensic analysis before there is a trial.

In 2020, the Cleveland PD was noted to have 67% of their officers as white while the makeup of the area is 50% black, however it should also be noted that 60% of their leadership; Chief and Deputy Chiefs are black
