The scoop: «The unemployment rate rose by 0.4% since December to 6.4%, the preliminary figures show. That meant the number of unemployed people in the country was 187,000 higher than in January 2024, reaching a total of 2.993 million, the agency reported.»
I've noticed that visceral hatred of stoners is a common trait with people who define their success in life almost entirely by their career, and other visible external factors - marriage, kids, house size.

... Maybe stoners know something you don't. Maybe part of you sees that, and seethes.

I had resubscribed to use o1 2 weeks ago and haven't even logged in this week because of R1.

One thing I notice that is huge is being able to see the chain of thought lets me see when my prompt was lacking and the model is a bit confused on what I want.

If I was anymore impressed with R1 I would probably start getting accused of being a CCP shill or wumao lol.

With that said, I think it is very hard to compare models for your own use case. I do suspect there is a shiny new toy bias with all this too.

Poor Sonnet 3.5. I have neglected it so much lately I actually don't know if I have a subscription or not right now.

I do expect an Anthropic reasoning model though to blow everything else away.
windbg has no sane library api, which makes it by construction unsuitable for automation and inspection.

I'd personally prefer, if we would have the options of multiple time-travel debugging sessions based on synchronization points (if needed) being overlapped to single out bugs in interesting areas (not covered by static or dynamic analysis).
Debugger would be essentially a virtual program slicer being able to hide unnecessary program parts or reduce it.
However, so far we neither have the options for piece-wise time-accurate multi-threading recording, nor slicing overlays nor in-memory reducers (ideally also reducing AST). I may be mistaken on "piece-wise time-accurate multi-threading", since I've not checked what is possible with hardware yet.

Heck, we dont even have overview data for common bug classes and cost for verification or runtime-checking in academia etc.
> I think that's true up to a point, but it misses the distinction between accidental and essential complexity.

Very respectfully, I think you may be missing the author's point. When you fail to make a home for necessary complexity, it rears its head as unintended complexity in unexpected parts of the system. The source of 'accidental' complexity is unaccounted for complexity.

I neutralise the AI summaries by adding the following rules in AdGuard for Safari:

Add this to AdGuard Preferences -> Filters -> User Rules. It makes search results load faster too!
There were no value judgements in either of my posts. Like the article, you’ve not presented any reasons for your opinion or attitude or derision.

I value reinvestment, but now you’ve insulted a potential ally. What good does this do your cause?
The issue here is regardless of implementation details (all the privacy/ID stuff falls in this bucket), the remedy being proposed here seems obviously much worse than the ailment.
I donno I like AI, I don't use it often but when I do I've found it useful and impressive. It's really improved quality of life when it comes to having something to read over my work or help with finding small bits of info. I also like self checkout because this it reduced wait times at the store.

I think people are always resistant to change. People didn't like ATMs when they first came out either. I think it's improved things.
Oh my god I ran into this yesterday. I wanted a very specific kind of underarmour sweat pants. It gave me every other company competing with underarmour and a bunch of things that are not sweat pants. It’s like they’re not even trying to do “search” any more, but instead just feed your search string into their ad auction system and give you the results. There’s just no way to actually get a specific thing.
How many places are there with solar + wind providing the baseload capacity?

I'm all in favor of solar and wind power. But they need batteries to be useful around the clock. The batteries are $100 / kWh, and this number dwarfs the cost of solar installations proper.

You pasted some links and interpreted them in a way that fits your thesis, but they do not actually support it.

> Taiwan is de facto recognised by most of the West

By 'de facto' do you mean what exactly? That they sell them goods? Is this what you call 'recognition'? They also sell weapons to 'freedom fighters' in Africa, the Middle East, and South America.

Officially, Taiwan is not a UN member and is not formally recognized as a state by any Western country.

Countries that recognize Taiwan officially are: Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Holy See, Marshall Islands, Palau, Paraguay, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Eswatini and Tuvalu.

And the list is shrinking every year[1][2], and it will shrink even more as China becomes economically stronger.

Is this literally the case? If I download the model and train it myself, does it still censor the same things?

this is the best outcome, though, rather than a monopoly, which is exactly what everyone is hoping to have.
but along with the change you noticed, there was another change. if you have safe search off, and add a spicy word into your search, you will be shown spicy things no matter what, many things that have nothing to do with the other words you used to narrow down your search because obviously you are interested in bewbz and god knows what else
To be blunt, an AI isn't a good tool for writing poetry either. At least, not the kind people read as a high literature form. For commercials, jingles, Hallmark cards, etc. sure
I have seen a lot of people claim the censorship is only in the hosted version of DeepSeek and that running the model offline removes all censorship. But I have also seen many people claim the opposite, that there is still censorship offline. Which is it? And are people saying different things because the offline censorship is only in some models? Is there hard evidence of the offline censorship?

In the United States of America private corporations can refuse to permit a presidential candidate to use their platform. Meta had a very strong first amendment defense. ABC had a very strong defense against the libel case because most of us agree that sticking a finger into someone's vagina without them asking for it is in fact rape. CBS got sued over damages for misdescribing an interview with his opponent. He won that election. What damages are there? The NY Times has reported that CBS executives view the settlement as a way to win favor.
It's because this technology isn't (and never has been) intended for the laborers making the stuff. The ultimate aim of these companies is to address the managerial and c suite people with a product that can replace the labor pool.

Honestly, I think the current consumer focus is just an irrational consequence of these companies feeling like they can't leave all that consumer money on the table, but, precisely for the reasons this piece outlines, it makes no sense to market this stuff to people who actually like their craft. These tools are purely intended for superficial people who are not interested in creating things, they are only interested in outputs and end results.
Out of interest what are your main use cases for needing conditional breakpoints?
The world is topsy turvy. I can't even tell satire anymore or whether people are being sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek. This comment reads like sarcasm to me, overdoing on the things currently crappy about online "content creation":

0. The word "content" itself and self-applying the "content creator" label. No writer, artist, or musician I know thinks of themself unironically as a creator of content. How bland! Like a manufacturer! I produce units of content. My buddy who plays the saxophone and does a little composing would barf if you told him he was an audio content creator.

1. Feeding the algorithm. Do people really think about what "the algorithm" wants when they are being creative? Do they alter what they make to suit the algorithm? Why care what an unfeeling search engine wants if you're ultimately writing for the human soul?

2. Engagement as a goal. Is this really what you're after when you write? Not to inform, educate, please, inspire, upset, challenge, upend, or some other meaty goal? You just want some kind of generic "engagement"? This is the kind of thing a Marketing SVP wants, not a writer!

Sorry, I don't mean to attack. I'm trying to avoid being cynical, but the comment really struck me. I can't believe someone would write something like this about their creative passion, to the point where I question that maybe it was amazing sarcasm.

It's not rage-bait, it's a practical example of both how bad the tax code is and most topically how abusive Tesla is to the country that "hosts" it.

Also there's really no such thing as fiduciary duty in public companies, not to the degree you're talking about or it's implied actions.

I wish people would stop repeating it in that fashion, it's just a thought-terminating cliche. Violating fiduciary duty would be something like, spending a bunch of the corporations money on an investment you knew was fraudulent because a connection owns the other business/venture. It is NOT "you paid more in taxes than you could have gotten away with" or any other method of profiteering.

TL;DR fiduciary duty =/= maximizing profit
Du you personally think Google's lawyers understands HR law in the locales where it has employees?
I am sorry you are going through that. Really awful. Credit to you for tracking the symptoms so closely.

The cyclicality of the nausea in your graph is interesting. Personally, I find cyclic vomiting syndrome is underdiagnosed and exists along more of a spectrum than generally assumed. As others have said, there is often overlap with migraine spectrum and central hypersensitivity. An underlying trigger such as a GI infection in predisposed individuals can 'turn up the volume' of normal enteric nerve signaling. This ultimately describes a lot of functional GI conditions.

With central hypersensitivity, chronic pain, chronic migraine, and cyclic vomiting, one of the goals becomes resetting the sensory nerve volume back to a normal level. Meditation, therapy, etc., can all have a role. Often, antidepressants are often used at lower doses since they modulate peripheral nerves too.

FWIW, you may want to ask your current primary or GI/neurologist about cyclic vomiting syndrome and whether to trial a TCA (first line treatment, amitriptyline has the most evidence)
it's screaming for a REPL...
I was talking to a friend who works in development and he says that they even frown on recursion now. They think it's too complex and causes junior programmers to footgun.

It's a shame because recursive code is often the most clean, elegant and fast for things like traversing trees.
> Tax credits seem to make sense for an EV company?

That's one of the things that I've found odd. A lot of people that very strongly support things like tax credits for EV cars, in order to fight climate change, will then turn around and talk about how terrible they are when they're actually used, such as in the article here. A lot of times people don't seem to have a consistent view of what they actually want, and will be outraged by the results of policies they themselves supported.

One can only imagine the headlines if these environmental credits were cancelled ("anti-environmental actions are going to bring about climate change and doom us all").
It harms them politically, if they were accountable to voters.
Sounds like the "move fast and break things" boys are at work.

The roles are entirely reversed here. Rather than the company voluntarily complying with the administration, musk alleges that biden administration officials illegally try to pressure twitter. I agree that if trump tried to illegally pressure zuck into censoring abortion pills, that would be improper on the part of trump, but at the same time I wouldn't fault zuck for caving.

>Yes, that was and is explicitly legal.

>(Morally shitty. But that's freedom!)

The question is whether it's "democratic", not whether it's illegal. The fact that you think it's "morally shitty", suggests think that you agree it's antidemocratic.

There will be a crash as with any hype cycle

But this is normal. A new thing is discovered, the market runs lots of tests to discover where it works / doesn’t, there’s a crash, valid use cases are found / scaled and the market matures.

Y’all surely lived thru the mobile app hype cycle, where every startup was “uber for x”.

The amount of money being spent today pales in comparison to the long term money on even one use case that scales. It’s a good bet if you are a VC.
While I use LLMs I form and discard mental models for how they work. I've read about how they work, but I'm looking for a feeling that I can't really get by reading, I have to do my own little exploration. My current (surely flawed) model has to do with the distinction between topology and geometry. A human mind has a better grasp of topology, if you tell them to draw a single triangle on the surfaces of two spheres they'll quickly object. But an LLM lacks that topological sense, so they'll just try really hard without acknowledging the impossibility of the task.

One thing I like about this one is that it's consistent with the Waluigi effect (which I just learned of). The LLM is a thing of directions and distances, of vectors. If you shape the space to make a certain vector especially likely, then you've also shaped that space to make its additive inverse likely as well. To get away from it we're going to have to abandon vector spaces for something more exotic.
Most people around here hate crypto because it’s so riddled with scams and vaporware.
Which they chose for a reason.
That doesn't much line up with the process described in the article. Why would you try to derive their age from photo/video if you have access to their birth certificate, for example?
Huh, that one got it wrong for me too. I don't have patience to try it 10 times each to see if it was a coincidence, but it is absolutely true that not all implementations of LLMs produce the same outputs. It is in fact common for subtle bugs to happen that cause the outputs to be worse but not catastrophically bad, and therefore go unnoticed. So I wouldn't trust any implementation but the original for benchmarking or even general use unless I tested it extensively.
It is a nuanced point but what is better, a sedan or a truck? I think we are still at that stage of the conversation so it doesn't make much sense.

I do think it is a good metaphor for how all this shakes out though in time.

They may have objected to your assertion in the first paragraph ("....the ratio between the repetition frequency of the pulses and the frequency of the sinusoidal signal must be a fixed known value.")

Admittedly I'm not well-informed on this topic at all, but I haven't run across that exact requirement. You need to know the pulse rep rate, which in practice may just be a matter of triggering the laser from a sufficiently-stable source rather than having to measure it separately -- and you need some way to get a carrier beatnote from a pair of lines, where the F-2F technique is a common approach -- but do you really need a priori knowledge of the PRF:carrier frequency ratio in order to make the whole thing work?
It's bad. A well-funded anti-tax movement has been radicalizing a lot of the country against their own government. They love to see this dissolution of consitutional government.

While they claim smaller government is better for the economy, they really care most about ending consitutional government and couldn't care less about the impact to the economy.

That smells more like a room problem. A slight change in frequency response will change the comb filtering and early reflections in the room and that will change what happens at any given listening position.

And all consumer facing audio messes around with frequency response.

To put it another way “sounding good” is a question on the audiophile spectrum where people demagnetize compact disks and can hear the difference of premium HDMI cables.

3. According to Wikipedia: There was no order to fire, and no guardsmen requested permission, though several guardsmen later claimed they heard some sort of command to fire. - the government wasn’t even the ones who ordered anything. In Tiananmen Square the Chinese ordered their soldiers to kill and mush their own citizens.

Your definition of fascism is deeply flawed, it would include kingdoms which are not automatically fascists, for example.

I go by this [1] definition of fascism, which the current republican party fits almost perfectly.

Trump rules almost unopposed, and is further consolidating his power with each passing day. Neither court nor congress can harm him anymore. That you may still believe he is fighting for freedom, peace and democracy is baffling, with everthing that's been happening in the past 2 weeks.

Indeed, I don't like fascists and nazis, sue me.

Bizarre understanding of what happened with Sam Altman and Deepseek. The question to Sam Altman was about whether $10 million would be adequate funding to build a frontier LLM. $6 million is the cost of the _final_ _training_ cost of the DS model. This is an apples to oranges comparison, and the article is just high noise owing to this.

I don't actually care one way or another about that particular subject, but if you start making judgements about academic fields of study are worthwhile to pay for on the basis of value to society, you allow other people -- more ignorant people, let's say -- with different concepts of societal value to make somewhat unfortunate decisions. You might end up without any new literature at all.

I think this is a tax avoidance strategy that may save a lot on taxes. E.g. use accelerated depreciation to avoid taxes in a really profitable year and then if you have a loss or much lower profit in a subsequent year, you have successfully avoided a bunch of taxes. Not an accountant or tax lawyer so there may be a catch here.
