Consolidation would kill it for me. I know that Wisconsin isn't exactly a ski mecca, but I live about 35 minutes away from a dinky little ski hill. I loved to just hop in my car after work, and ski for a couple of hours, then go home to my own food, and my own bed.

On the other hand, my family took an obligatory ski vacation in Colorado, and while the experience was stunning in every respect, it required planning, travel, vacation time, lodging, and so forth. And I'm not a great skier.

Unfortunately, the warmer winters are killing the nearby slopes.
Was it toxicity though as understood by the model, or just a cluster of concepts that you've chosen to label as toxic?

I.e., is this something that could (and therefore, will) be turned towards identifying toxic concepts as understood by the chinese or us government, or to identify (say) pro-union concepts so they can be down-weighted in a released model, etc?

The air-to-air radar is not necessarily peanuts compared to the helicopter. A recent sale of blackhawks to Greece was priced at 1.95B for 35 helos. A past sale of 36 Apache Longbow radars and support to Korea was priced at 3.6B.

A helo is a sitting duck for a fighter so what would it do anyways. AEW will tell the helicopter about a fighter and vector them to safety. An active military radar will only be lit when necessary.

I do agree that an iPad with flight radar should have been able to help avoid this incident, much less the engineered solution that is warranted in a combat aircraft.

That's a relatively new feature and doesn't always work. (Old, I can't speak to new) Reddit's "push a button and it submits without moving off the page" is much nicer.
The problem is that that kind of analysis would require full program optimization, rather than optimizing individual functions, because the signature of the call to read doesn't provide enough information for the compiler to know if it ever reads the data. And indeed, it can't know until link time.

I think it's theoretically possible, but at the cost of much longer compile times, and greater complexity in the compiler.
I would be astonished if Waymo has profitable unit economics. They're probably closer to spending $10 for every $1 they make. I made my initial fortune working on self-driving cars and there are many reasons the revolution that was supposed to come 10 years ago has yet to arrive.

> why should I accept what one specific council of European priests 600 years ago or whatever decided is to be considered holy canon?

Well, firstly the canon doesn't just come from the decisions of Europeans and bringing race into it is a non-sequitur. The canon of Scripture comes from the Sacred Tradition, preserved by the Church and lead by the Pope and the Bishops (who FWIW weren't and aren't just white guys), and then sealed by the authority given by Christ to the Pope and the Bishops on issues of faith and morals. The Sacred Tradition and the authority of the Pope and Bishops comes from Christ, so why should you trust the canon of Scripture? Because Jesus Christ is God and you should believe in Him and be apart of His Church because the canon comes from the Church which comes from Christ. If you don't believe in Jesus Christ or that He was God then worrying about the canon of Scripture and trying to criticize medieval ecumenical council decisions is just foolishness.

> But the core dogma of "believe specific claims of fact because they were written down in one text and not another" is bad epistemology

This is closer to Protestant dogma which tends to assert that the Church and all our beliefs come from Scripture. To slightly rephrase and expand on what I already said above, Catholic dogma is that the canon of Scripture comes from the Church not the other way around, that is to say Christ gave us the Sacred Tradition and the Apostles and their successors are what determined the canon of Scripture.

So now I've distilled a vague distrust you have in medieval and ancient sources down to a historical and empirical question. Did Jesus Christ die and rise again, and did He found a Church that has kept his Tradition alive through the centuries and alive fundamentally unchanged. These questions have been ignored and then ridiculed by empiricists but I've noticed more and more people starting to take them seriously, I suggest you do too.
Similarly it amazes me Amazon Echo and Google Home's voice assistants are still so bad. Why haven't they plopped an LLM on top of these devices yet?!

Adam Savage from Mythbusters and the Tested YouTube channel does this I think.

I remember he did a pretty cool recreation of the gun from Blade Runner at least.
Yep. That is exactly the idea here. Our compression method is super duper naive. We literally keep every n-th weight column and discard the rest. Turns out that even after getting rid of 80% of the weight columns in this way, we were able to retain the same performance in a 125M GPT.
These days it does analyze in stages where it does multiple passes with increasing stats sampling.

Analyze itself isn’t the problem.

After pg_upgrade, no stats will be available for the optimizer which means that any query will more or less sequence-scan all affected tables.

Actually it is! Although your tolerances will not be as good as with a fusion jet printer. For FDM, print on a textured bed and play with the “fuzzy skin” settings in Cura. You’ll get quite close to what’s shown in the author’s pictures.
I think Apple might be worried it would cannibalise some of their other products like the iPad.

I've liked the idea since the Dex as well, but I feel like there is a product segmentation reason that makes them hesitant.
Missile approach warning systems don’t need radar. Most use IR sensing and lasers.

Even in radar-based MAW systems, they are not multipurpose and do not detect aircraft by design.
This is interesting.

"In addition, at the time of research, there are five states (Alabama, Maryland, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas) and two provinces (Northwest Territories and Prince Edward Island) with only 1 resort remaining. Details of state/province/territory data can be seen in Table 2."

I found it hard to believe that Texas has a ski resort. I did some searching and I can't find any evidence that this is true.

RI and Alabama both have one. Seems easy enough to check.
I had this idea the other day. Not sure if it relates but maybe?

Does Safari always open sites in separate processes when manually opening a new tab (e.g., via Command+T or via another macOS app sending a link to be opened by Safari) instead of allowing a webpage in one tab to open a link in a new tab via window.open? If so, does that prevent the SLAP attack from working against the contents of those manually opened tabs? Wouldn't the best practice, then, be to (1) never login to a website (or access a site where you are already logged in) by clicking a link on another site, and (2) when browsing a site where you are logged in, never click a link to another website, but instead copy the link, manually open a new tab, and then paste the link into the address bar? Obviously, that's cumbersome and annoying, but if it mitigates SLAP, then maybe it's worth the effort.
I've wanted the same for a long time. The ability to dock my phone and let it drive a display and desktop. Not because I think it would be better at it, but because it already has my stuff.
AI on the iphone has been absolutely useless.

I was hoping they would integrate AI with Siri, which is mostly useless, but I don't think they did because Siri remains mostly useless.

I don't understand what their strategy is with AI.
You, me and the general market are completely different. Apple’s problem is their decreasing sales in China, which has been one of the biggest contributors to their revenue and profits. China has been successfully reinventing its image among locals, and “western products” are less prestigious nowadays. I mean, they still are, but people are more willing to spend an equivalent price for Chinese products.
Regarding the fact that your son’s watch has 2x the battery life of the others, did you ever test the real capacity of each of the batteries? Speaking from experience, batteries sourced from random Chinese suppliers can have wildly different real-world specs, even within the same lot.
They were all operating at a massive loss before LLMs offered an even more expensive and less reliable alternative.
This is discussed in some other threads here. But basically, if you live in a jurisdiction where it’s easy and safe to get and hold substantial amounts of USD, this is not for you.

The reality in many places is that getting your hands on USD happens through grey-market street dealers who charge exorbitant conversion rates, and the only way of holding them is under your mattress because the local banking system can’t be trusted. As in, if you’re able to get a USD bank account (this is a big if), you likely won’t be able to actually withdraw your USD in any substantial amounts when the need arises.

This is something I've been watching and thinking about for many years as tangential to a primary interest. It's not all bad as there have been many benefits to these changes too. These aren't occurring in isolation, since many other changes with similar effects pile on top of eachother to amplify the issues.

There are the usual culprits that people talk about and others which people don't seem to think about much. Looking forward to reading the book mentioned in the article to see someone else's in depth thoughts.
interesting tidbit:

After World War II, stars that made over $70,000 faced a marginal tax rate of 77%. Paley worked out an accounting technique whereby individual performers would set themselves up as a corporation so they could be taxed at 25% rather than 77%. Sarnoff, the head of NBC and RCA, decided this method was legally and ethically wrong and he ended up losing most of his biggest stars.
In this interest rate environment they’re basically printing money.
This is grand-parent's point IMO: running your cron on UTC is a decision to have it on that specific timezone.

So you're effectively deciding for instance to send your user newsletter at varying hours, sometimes at 1h00, sometimes at 3h00. Or accept that every scheduled event needs to be appropriately timezoned and adjusted as needed if DST change.
Or to have your logs timestamp be non obvious when comparing events separated by months, or have to convert all your business timestamps to a different timezone.

Those are all sensitive decisions, and we usually accept the trade-off, but it needs to be an explicit tradeoff.

Dexterity would be an interesting one. Whatever it is (direct or associated) must be a strong force to triple the prevalence in 150 years or so. Thats like 15% growth each 20-year generation, which would be a huge difference in reproductive success. I think this puts a pretty strong indicator that it's not a genome shift but something else
In what way are ‘rightsholders’ expressing wishful thinking? I assume you are saying that there is no violation of those rights controlling various properties that have been used to train ‘AI’. You then mention precedent in a way that implies there are legal decisions that make it clear ‘AI’ training using copyrighted material does not violate the rights of those who own that material. Could you list or link to such a precedent?

To the best of my knowledge, there is no direct precedent from any federal circuit addressing this issue and certainly no USSC opinions dealing with the issue. Additionally, any analogies drawn from precedent focused on other areas of intellectual property law is easily distinguishable. This is truly fresh legal ground and the next 10 years of jurisprudence will go a long way towards building the precedent that your comment would imply to already exist.

Just to be explicit, the above, while a legal opinion, IS NOT legal advice.
I found a hole on add product. If the same link is filled twice it will not take it right. But if i made a single string different, it still able to take it.

For example:

1. https://example.com
- This will show product already assigned

But if just adding a simple string at the end

2. https://example.com/
- This will able to fetch data for the product and can be assigned

Well, as they said in the conclusion, they don't really have any constructive suggestions. It is mostly a lament that this wasn't better designed from the beginning, because backwards compatibility puts significant constraints on the design.

Same with my 13 mini. Small size + lightweight is a killer feature. I want the 5x camera zoom of the iPhone 16 Pro, but it's not worth the tradeoff. And none of the other new features matter to me.
Apple is very keen, especially on iOS, for the user to be safe. There's not a lot of freedom in the iOS world. And that totally works for most people most of the time.

A truly useful AI (which I have no doubt they are capable of building) is also a dangerous AI. It might do weird shit. So instead it's stuck doing safe-but-trivial things.
The bigger issue is that the market is saturated with the only real growth opportunities in either taking Android market share or trying to get into developing countries where people are more price conscious.

Even as a mobile app developer, I have no need to upgrade hardware until my phone can no longer support the latest version of IOS. Sure the camera may get marginally better and you may miss out on 5g etc for a few years, but do I really need most of that? No.
I'm running tests for an involved math research project, and to my great surprise Lean 4 << Haskell << OCaml in execution times (so far).

I love Lean 4, but good luck getting help with it from AI. Today's project-in-progress is digesting their reference manual to fit well within a 200K context window. We'll see if that helps.
Sorry, the people who came up with the concept are not grifters. The folks who own AI companies claiming to be afraid of the “very imminent” singularity are the grifters, I highly doubt they truly believe that. And they have profited from this AI hype.
I do not understand why corporations don't at least read subreddits. HR departments could learn a lot from the "career" subreddits.

Since the 13 they’ve all been so incremental. I’m left wondering what’s changed most times.

This is the first cycle I’m not upgrading. I pay for my wife and kid phones and as we all have 15s that feel brand new, I’m looking forward to a few years of “sim only” bills.
I finally replaced my iPhone 14 with a Xiaomi Fold 4 - the ability to turn it in to a small tablet has been far more useful than I anticipated, I also appreciate easy side-loading of apps and multiple stores.

There are some cons, especially with using a phone aimed at the Chinese domestic market (not all features and UI are in English)

But so far it feels like a far more innovative and 'free' ecosystem - iOS/iPhone was starting to feel really stale to me.
Yes, sorry, I was being maximally-broad in my comment but I would think it's very, very, very likely that OpenAI is currently charging huge margins and markups to help maintain the cachet / exclusivity / and, in some senses, safety of their service. Charging more money for access to their models feels like a pretty big part of their moat.

Also possibly b/c of their sweetheart deal with Azure they've never needed to negotiate enterprise pricing so they're probably calculating margins based on GPU list prices or something insane like that.
There are several high-level web application frameworks for Python that are based around this concept. It's particularly useful for data-oriented apps that let the user tweak parameters and update (arbitrarily complex) calculations and visualizations in response. I personally work on one called Shiny (https://shiny.posit.co/py/) but there are others including Reflex.dev and Solara.dev.

(I haven't looked at Reaktiv beyond the readme but it's clearly based on the same concepts, albeit it's "only" the reactive primitives and doesn't provide the rest of the stack like the frameworks I mentioned do)

> In addition, at the time of research, there are five states (Alabama, Maryland, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas) and two provinces (Northwest Territories and Prince Edward Island) with only 1 resort remaining. Details of state/province/territory data can be seen in Table 2.

This data doesn't seem accurate, or they have a weird way of classifying resorts, or something.

update Ok I misremembered. I got some of the states mixed up. Maryland may only have one, but Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia have several.
interesting thought. (I had to look it up)

I wonder how you mean it. Is it that older products with good fundamentals are being replaced with younger quick-to-market technologies without those fundamentals, and different (possibly) wrong things get optimized?

Or is it experienced engineers with "well known" fundamentals are not involved in new products?
