Technically we already can go from human scale to nano or even atomic scale in "one operation". i.e. a scanning tunneling microscope you etch a tungsten wire in acid and then can go and look at individual carbon atoms at room temperature.

An atomic force microscope is even more direct - while not absolutely "atomic" - you can definitely with a sharp enough tip push things around on the nanoscale.

The problem is definitely as you note: things do in fact behave very differently when you're doing that.

I’ve noticed this too. People complain about counterfeit products but I have never had a problem.

I basically avoid name brand fungibles. Find any two hard drives and they look and function the same, which means I’m not buying that on Amazon.

But I see people complaining about counterfeit products but they buy batteries and hard drives from Amazon and I would never.

In the example you provided, the face covered in chocolate is evidence of having taken the fudge. In contrast to the original example, being black is not evidence that they stole the missing item.
Also „Fall“ may be a noun or verb.
This thread reads like sour grapes to me. When people can’t compete but instead start throwing unfounded allegations is not a good look.

Even OpenAI itself hasn’t resorted to these wild conspiracy theories.

Unless you’re an insider in these companies, you’re just like the rest of us, you know nothing.
All of the other replies to you seem to give examples of other sandbox games that are successful / fun and suggest that maybe you just don't like the genre, but as an avid fan of sandbox games, and many of the other titles given by other posters, I still agree with you.

No Man's Sky feels devoid of any personality or interesting content in a particularly unique way. No amount of updates will ever fix for me what feels like a fundamental gameplay loop issue.

All of the layers of systems they've added with each new update still just feel __bad__. I'm glad so many have found a way to enjoy the game, but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when none of them seem to address the issue of "collect arbitrary resources to build gear to collect other arbitrary resources ad nauseum" in a way that I just find fundamentally unsatisfying.

I still understand that reductive description can apply to many of the other games I actually enjoy (i.e. Minecraft, etc.) but that's what's so strange to me about NMS—by all means, I __should__ like the game. But I still think it's a miserable experience devoid of any real meaning. Even if the point is to find your own meaning in the systems it provides, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just feels so much worse than any of the others.

Maybe someone else can better articulate why it feels so bad, but to me, despite all of the work they've put on the game, it still feels so devoid of meaning.
I had never thought about point 1, and never knew about points 2 and 3.

Growing up in India, iodized salt was the norm. Given that I'm vegetarian, now that I have moved the US, I have continued to use iodized salt for my own cooking. Whatever Morton / Kroger / other grocery store brand is most readily available. I usually keep it stored in an airtight plastic jar but use it for cooking like normal.

Should I be worried about iodine loss during cooking?
If it doesn't work, there's no need to even defend against it. Idc if someone wants to call me racist.
I am not offended at all, mind you. In reverse, I applaud to your criticism because it gives a fresh perspective, so I upvoted your post :) The only mistake you make is believing that there is a significant psy component in it, and that a human body and its biochemistry is a mechanical Newtonian-like macro-world apparatus.

Peace, take care.
I would use a statically-typed Python that you can compile into a binary for better performance. Step 1: Develop fast in regular Python. Step 2: Add type annotations and build.
I doubt that will happen for a tool with an arbitrary usecase of assisting in research however some projects related to reverse-engineering have been censored under the DMCA takedown regime.
That is still inference. It is using a model generated from the RL process. The RL process is what used the cost function to add another model layer. Any online/continual learning would have to be performed by a different algorithm than classical LLM or RL. You can think of RL as a revision, but it still happens offline. Online/continual learning is still a very difficult problem in ML.
Physical activity is a life saver for me, it allows me to release energy that would otherwise cause trouble down the line.
> there’s an _incredible_ amount of “dunno who that belongs to but don’t touch it because it might be important”

Right, so not an oversight, but a decision not to touch the obscure system. Decisions with bad outcome aren't oversight unless you want to downplay them when justifying yourself.

Your SMTP gateway is never "that" system that nobody knows about. You must know who owns and manages it, you know you have to secure it (minimal measures like... authentication) so you don't get unceremoniously penetrated. And if you do it you may or may not realize that something will fail because of the extra security.

If you know that "one cobbled together system, or old network MFP" I was mentioning earlier will fail when you enforce authenticated SMTP, because it's too old and replacing it is $$$, or too arcane and bringing an expert is $$$ then you will take an informed decision whether to proceed with your security hardening or not.

If you have no idea something will fail (you didn't catch it in the dry runs) if you enforce authenticated SMTP, you just do it and if someone comes in a frenzy to tell you that the old and arcane system is down then you revert the change. Now on you're in the informed decision scenario from above.

This is not a minor omission. Leaving a glaring insecurity like this open by oversight isn't what the article suggests happened, and it almost never never the case. It's not something that "just happens", it's something that people meet to discuss about and decide to ignore it maybe for reasons that look good at the time. This is the essence of risk taking. But it's a decision nonetheless.
There won't be progress on inflation until after the deficit comes down.

Edit: The deficit has come down, and then the inflation came down. Figures 1A and 2.
https://epicforamerica.org/the-economy/is-inflation-the-resu...

Edit2: The reason for it is the Law of Supply & Demand. When more money chases the same basket of goods and services, the money loses value (which is what inflation is). Federal deficit spending is just that - more money dumped into the economy devalues the rest of the money.

G-Eval for LLM Evaluation
Fascinating!

Living in Europe nearby, I've visited the museum multiple times in the past decade. It's one of my favorite standbys to take relatives or friends to. Can't recommend it—and Bolzano, or Bozen, depending on whether you lean Italian or German—enough!
This is great. I do watch my Dexcom on my Apple Watch, but there's times I just want the number, ASAP. I was hoping it'd talk about eliminating the need for the iOS app ("...where he shouldn’t have to run around with a phone strapped to him...") but it sounds like it's just not possible to avoid at least periodic polling.

Reading through the product development, I'm curious why you didn't use a dev kit like the Pine Time? (https://pine64.org/devices/pinetime/) I bought one a few years ago and it's just been sitting in the box, waiting for a project to build on it. I may take a stab at something similar.
You don’t need a CIA level agent to get someone with a fraudulent job at OpenAI for a few months, load some files on a thumb drive, and catch a plane to Shanghai.
i've been generating training data from different models to train a small personality sim NN for a game. all the different biases are interesting.

basically i present the LLM with a social situation, and ask it to take an action based on personality facets + relationship with target.

deepseek is super biased against violence. Llama 3.3 is totally okay with violence, but will never choose to "take no action", etc.

>>That placebo effect study is 20 years old.
>Has it been contradicted anywhere? I don't see any other studies that have looked into it.

Somewhat tangentially, and not specific to Parkinson's or DBS, but placebo has been getting stronger for at least some classes of treatment. E.g.:

Tuttle AH, Tohyama S, Ramsay T, Kimmelman J, Schweinhardt P, Bennett GJ, Mogil JS. Increasing placebo responses over time in U.S. clinical trials of neuropathic pain. Pain. 2015 Dec;156(12):2616-2626. doi: 10.1097/j.pain.0000000000000333. PMID: 26307858.

Walsh BT, Seidman SN, Sysko R, Gould M. Placebo Response in Studies of Major Depression: Variable, Substantial, and Growing. JAMA. 2002;287(14):1840–1847. doi:10.1001/jama.287.14.1840

So I would not be surprised if placebo got stronger in this area as well.
GOG revamps its "Dreamlist" feature to better pry old games out of publishers
I think there'll continue to be models at different levels of capability and price - and not at all obvious whether it'll be the Ford or Rolls Royce that'll make most money.

My guess is that is that what passes as "AGI" will also become commoditized, maybe even free to consumers (funded by advertising, business referrals to restaurants, etc).
They've certainly done a good number of things, and it probably wasn't easy to do, but my observation is just that almost none of those things really contribute to the heart of the game, work together in a meaningful way, or got executed without a lot of rough edges and bugs which never have been/never will be addressed.

I believe it happened this way because when they were in danger of self-destructing after the terrible launch, they knew they could no longer afford to risk continuing to try for the vision they had and sold. They had to pivot to a adding shallow crowd-pleasing fluff, and the more the better. And it was a good business decision! Now people go gaga over the fact that you can summon a multiplayer social hub from your menu and do fortnite emotes with strangers.

Let me try to flip this and compliment NMS for what I think it is. It's a good light-hearted space-themed VR chat with some gamelike elements.

-----------------------

Also, no worries about the earlier question. I wasn't offended or upset, but I think it was just a good opportunity to point out that the culture about discussing this game now has that kind of thing baked into it.
How is assuming elderly people have cognitive declines a "bias"? It is simply empirically true.
Not sure if you are facetious or not, but here's why I use an IDE.

Many years ago I saw an advertisement about some cooking tool. This old East Asian grandma, ninja grandma looking, was doing some prep work for some dish. She stops, looks in disgust at the tool she was using and says "this is meant to bring joy, but this is not bringing any joy". She then switched to the "better" tool and all was good with the universe and much joy for everyone.

This is why I use the tools I use, because they bring me joy. There is an argument to be made that I use some of my tools because they bring me less sadness, but oh well.

I use vscode because it brings me joy, nevermind that I use less than 10% of its capabilities (eyeballing). I compile, run tests, use source control in Windows Terminal, because Windows Terminal brings me more joy than the vscode terminal.

I use a cage on my photo camera because it brings me joy. I use a Peak Design sling because it brings me joy. I use my Lowepro sling bag, that I got as a bonus after buying a cheapish tripod, because it brings me joy. The next version of my bag, size wise, it's a proper backpack, now I'm planning to get one and see how the joy levels are.

You use whatever you use because that brings you joy. You can try and rationalize this in any way you want, at the end of the day, the amount of joy is the only real reason you use what you use. Whatever we use doesn't make us better or worse, it makes us human.
Denmark only closed their doors after Sweden did. Before that, you just pointed - go north for more monies.

This is why Sweden doesn't really love Denmark as much as we used to. (Yes, it's more complex, but this is one aspect.)

Before that, you screwed us when we merged our two national postal services into a single company, PostNord. You know what you did.
"heavy" here is used in a very broad, general sense - that includes legacy, features, traditions, existing codebases, practices, reputation, community, libraries, ecosystem, mindset, infra, learning curve etc.

Having few examples that jumps out of the tradition doesn't make something as a whole suddenly different.
"The NTP monograph concluded, with moderate confidence, that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children. "

So maybe not exactly "water fluoridation cost a few IQ points" in a broad sense, but close enough.

>wouldn't we expect it to have worse quality than o1?

That's tricky, you can optimize a model to do real well on synthetic benchmarks.

That said, DeepSeek performs a bit worse than GPT-4 in general and substantially wrong on benchmarks like ARC which is designed with this in mind.

There is no way Google is making software update plans based on the revenue opportunity for breaking phones that are already 2 years past end of life.

> at which point will they become a frontend syntax for ocaml or julia ?

At no point.

What probably will happen is that both the JS and the Python reference implementations will have first class support for type systems which will allow them to generate optimized native code for the typed sections of your code while keeping the untyped sections as bytecode or as higher level compiled code (i.e. a bunch of runtime function calls dealing with tagged union objects).
That defeats the whole point of a Pixel, the camera app.
Just don’t see why I should take it on faith that the US department whatever has 10X the “waste” of a big multi-national bank. Or that DOGE can improve anything.
There's a difference between bias and area of focus. A math test that asks questions about trigonometry is not "biased" towards trigonometry, as compared to a math test that asks questions about probability.

Selecting topics that are frequently commonly censored in Chinese media is a reasonable area to focus on, because this is a model produced by a Chinese company. People are interested in whether the typical patterns of Chinese censorship are being applied to open source LLMs.
LOL Google had all these bias safety researchers and all they ended up with is at the guaranteed back of the race with LLMs and diffusion models that are the worst in the industry and beaten by 5-man teams with a fraction the resources. All that work on attention and the transformer architecture ruined by having safety researchers on your side. You'd have to be a total imbecile to try to replicate that in your own org, but I can see how you can sell it to some other sucker organization.

Perhaps it could be a selling point to an LLM-company that you can insert someone like Timnit Gebru into a competitor of theirs.
I'm convinced that Waymo will quietly continue to roll out self driving taxi's to ever increasing areas in "beta" until one day they're covering a significant percentage of the most profitable areas to be a taxi in.

Instead of trying for universal self driving, they're going to prioritise being self driving taxi's for the most profitable areas.
You’re not free to burn as much fuel as you want, as there are economic and physical limits in place.

What you are free to do is choose how to allocate resources—heat up or cool down your apartment, train/run a neural network, watch a plasma TV, etc.

Telling people what to do with their resources is central planning, and it has never worked.
You are absolutely correct. My company has just a single employee, me. I still document everything. I have a kanban board for things I need to do. Things that need to be done at a specific date/time get a calendar invite with a reminder. Anytime I make a decision or researrch something it goes documented in my OneNote so I can go back to look at it later to remind myself why I did something.

I think a better analogy than railroads (which own the land that the track sits on and often valuable land around the station) is airlines, which don’t own land. I recall a relevant Warren Buffett letter that warned about investing hundreds of millions of dollars into capital with no moat:

> Similarly, business growth, per se, tells us little about value. It's true that growth often has a positive impact on value, sometimes one of spectacular proportions. But such an effect is far from certain. For example, investors have regularly poured money into the domestic airline business to finance profitless (or worse) growth. For these investors, it would have been far better if Orville had failed to get off the ground at Kitty Hawk: The more the industry has grown, the worse the disaster for owners.

LLMs have read everything humans made so just ask one if there’s anything truly new in that freshly confabulated slop-phony.
This is my intuition as well. DeepSeek and the proliferation of local LLMs have showed us just how much can be done with relatively light hardware. It finally has me wanting to build a rig for local use when before I felt like the technology wasn't quite there for me to do anything too useful with some consumer hardware. This changed over night. I imagine there are many folks like me.

I'd never really thought about "How did hyperscale cloud providers become cloud providers?" And it's surprisingly distinct.

AWS: Bezos API memo -> internal infra services that were external ready -> polishing and exposing those one-by-one

GCP: Internal architectural/technical excellence -> new org that attempted to productize v2.0 of those services

Azure: Believe it was mostly ground-up build as a new org/product?

(No idea where Oracle cloud came from, internally)
wow. Good to know. Had no idea (but I understand why they would want to do that).

I should not have spent the time that I did with the game. I regret a lot of it. At this point I think I'm fully done with it, although I might pick it back up on PC at some point in order to work on mods (which I think might address some of the big gaps in the game).
I can accept that new construction may have more lighting, but nowhere near 10x, and certainly not 10x overall when you factor "legacy locations" where it is mostly just a bulb replacement.
All governments now think that if data is streaming through you as a company (anything cloud) then you have the LEGAL REQUIREMENT to execute all their arbitrary censorship for them.

AI is a brand new frontier where they can even pre-program their arbitrary censorship into things you download too! For as much offline censorship as possible too. Wow innovation

The attention is probably just latching on to strong statistical patterns. Obvious errors create sharp spikes in attention weights, and drown out more subtle signals that can actually matter more
Well Biden can't really give a speech due to being undeniably old to the point of incoherence (what led to him dropping his candidacy). Trump did Operation Warpspeed and created Space Force, and openly talked about that, he also openly supports Elon Musk running his own scientific enterprises. So I'm not sure what the argument is for America not talking about its own scientific achievements.

C# LINQ comes close.

It basically allows to express queries independent of the target language. E.g. it's entirely possible that the same LINQ query can target PG, MSSQL Server, objects in local memory or RavenDB (NoSql). Quality of the generated query depends on the translating library ofc.

Syntax is very nice and much more aligned with programming than SQL.
E.g:
someData.Where(x => x.id =="someId").OrderBy(x => x.LastModified).Take(10).ToListAsync()

Note that the query is not executed until ToListAsync (or other materializing calls) is called. This allows for composabillity.

There is an alternative form of writing it more resembling SQL, but I've never seen it much used.
