As a lifelong American citizen, I'm legitimately concerned for the future of our country and all its residents.

The rate at which constitutional protections are being undermined, attacked, and rule of law is being thrown to the wayside is crushing and astounding. For the first time in my life, it appears that there are no longer any protections in place to help prevent an authoritarian regime from fully taking over our government, and it feels surreal to be living through this in real-time.
> But today we advanced a bit and demand that our justice is a bit more just.

Like you, I used to believe this. Recent events have me re-examining my assumptions.
Is doing something 3500 times ridiculous? Or is it standard issue work?

By the by, the frequency of this is once per server, so it's not like you have to do it daily.
They'd give money to Ecohealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology to find new and exciting viruses for the CCP's bioweapon program.

I'm a software engineering manager with a bottom-up, collaborative style, focused on building and supporting resilient, empathetic, business-aware engineering teams who love what they do. I've worked in software since ~2011 and have worked with many tech stacks during that time- from PHP to Scala and Next.js to Rails. I've been fully remote since 2016 and have hired and managed globally remote team members at multiple companies.

While I've spent the majority of my career in venture-funded b2b SaaS, I'm highly-interested in working with bootstrapped companies who are hiring AI engineers to solve important problems. Bonus points if the use-case for AI is connected with the physical world in some way. I'm one of the folks who expect that artificial intelligence will continue to revolutionize our industry in many unexpected ways and I'm highly interested in working with a team of AI engineers who are breaking ground in the space.

Over the holidays I built a Rails application (I hadn't built with Rails in a while) that analyzes satellite imagery along US coastlines to visually identify potential boat anchorages using space imagery. It works by taking in geographic coordinates (geojson), fetching satellite images from Google Maps for the corresponding points, and using a fine-tuned machine learning model to classify areas that are likely suitable anchorages. I added a built-in interface for training (SFT) the ML with new data.

On the dev side, I generally prefer buying over building, readable over concise, fast over perfect, and empathy over all.

On the management side, my approach centers on 1:1s, transparent retros, and fostering a deep understanding of the business purpose behind the work we do. If this sounds like the type of culture that you have or wish to build, I'd love to hear from you and learn how I can support your mission and the team helping you accomplish it.

Go-ethereum | Berlin, Boulder, Remote | Full-time | Staff Software Engineer

Geth (go-ethereum) is an Ethereum execution client written in Go. It underpins the Ethereum protocol and many other projects around it.

Interesting. Reading the report it looks like the biggest issue any sort of communal trash system faces is we simply don't have that in the US. NY would need a lot of trash trucks which are only being manufactured outside the US. They'd be one of the only cities doing this as well.

It looks like underground would be an option, but the big deal breaker is potentially needing more frequent pickup and specialized trucks.
The fundemental challenge of using log probabilities to measure LLM certainty is the mismatch between how language models process information and how semantic meaning actually works. The current models analyze text token by token-- fragments that don't necessarily align with complete words, let alone complex concepts or ideas.

This creates a gap between the mechanical measurement of certainty and true understanding, much like mistaking the map for the territory or confusing the finger pointing at the moon with the moon itself.

I've done some work before in this space, trying to come up with different useful measures from the logprobs, such as measuring shannon entropy over a sliding window, or even bzip compression ratio as a proxy for information density. But I didn't find anything semantically useful or reliable to exploit.

The best approach I found was just multiple choice questions. "Does X entail Y? Please output [A] True or [B] False. Then measure the linprobs of the next token, which should be `[A` (90%) or `[B` (10%). Then we might make a statement like: The LLM thinks there is a 90% probability that X entails Y.

An innocent coincidence, by two established users that link their contact info in their profile. It must be the Russians!

It's genuinely sad that this level of Cold War paranoia has been normalized again.
Think how successful Tesla could have been if he wasn't in the picture. Statements like a $25000 car being "pointless" are just wild; if they sold an affordable EV it would sell like crazy (well, could have once upon a time) I think people could care less about automation than having a safe and efficient vehicle

Good point -- while now, since I'm new working on this team and having to re-establish myself, I feel a big loss in scope, influence, and visibility, I think over time I'll be working on more and more cross-cutting projects. I'm starting to see the seeds of that already.
But even new legislation, assuming it can be rammed through Congress within your lifetime, can’t retroactively apply to uploaded videos which already were copied in fact…?
We evenly sample 72 frames from any video length. No required frame rate, but 12-24fps works best. Most people flip at around 10fps, so short, clear-motion clips work best. When you upload your video on the order page, you'll get an accurate preview of how it'll look in hand!
can it modify requests or responses? with the current web getting increasingly user-hostile a need for tool like this was never more apparent

especially if it doesn't require proxy configuration
Unicode's mission is to be able to represent all written text. Once you decide that flags should be part of that you kind of have to include all of them. Including a flag in Unicode isn't a statement that you believe that this country exists, it's a statement that you think there are people who use this flag in written communication.
Well, like everyone who "criticizes capitalism" online, they leave it as an exercise for the reader to imagine the concrete entailments of what they vaguely propose.

And when you try to, it’s always “um where did they say that?”

If you're going to bring up capitalism in your crusade against... recommendation systems... I think it's fair to ask you to workshop your genius idea a little more past the shower thought stage.
I thought that you were going to condemn the genre's ubiquitous faster-than-light communications/travel. I approach space opera as a specialized variant of high fantasy, where the usual tropes are as genre-acceptable as wizards and ghosts.
Great advice -- I do have some lingering resentment, but it'll be really important not to have that surfaced to the new director.
maybe try to talk to them instead of trying to spy on them
Yea, that would make it useless for this purpose. TIL / I probably forgot that it was just signing, thank you!
I understand your argument and it’s a potential reason. But single reason causal arguments are often overdetermined. Other plausible reasons are:

1. Community notes are more scalable.

2. Community notes are more accurate (check back in 1 year)

3. Fact checking opinions which most of social media is, is impossible. One person’s “truth” is another’s conspiracy theory.

4. Freedom of speech. Constitutional violation lawsuit avoidance.

5. Community notes are cheaper and Meta is a business.

6. It’s politics
one cool difference between Bluesky and Mastodon (et al) is that server choice on registration is not an immutable permanent decision and you can choose to seamlessly migrate at a later time by updating your DID document

so the slick registration flow nets you less lock-in compared to if e.g. the mainstream Mastodon app were funnelling users onto one megainstance, since you can still get away afterwards without needing people to re-follow you

Which inadvertently proved it's own effectiveness when some of the buildings at the base being used for testing were burnt down because some bats flew outside the intended test range and roosted in random buildings. Pretty grizzly story and I'm glad it didn't go to wide spread adoption but that part has always been hilarious to me.
Yes, and at the same time, the statistics of the system can still satisfy thermalization.

>what demands are trans people making of "society" other than "leave us the hell alone".

To be referred and treated to as a gender they are not perceived to belong to (often under legal penalties), often reaching into biological sex (see: sports, women spaces). To dismiss gender definitions altogether in order to blur the lines to accommodate for them (you yourself were doing this a moment ago).

>just outright making shit up, cool.

No. You are, again, doing this yourself, right now, by saying stuff like "The cruelty is the point" which is very evidently spreading hatred. Advocacy did A LOT of "spreading lies and fear" by spreading narratives like the "female brain in a male body" or "would you rather have a trans son or a dead daughter?". And again, the vast majority of trans people are innocent for these, they deserve no blowback, their situation is bad as it is to begin with, but this did not by any stretch of imagination begin with politicians and pretending that's the case only worsens the problem.

No, only German subtitles. No auto-translated to English (or some other language I would understand).
If they can get that working, I’d expect it to be much more powerful.
No offence, but fuck the true in groups and you sound pretentious. True in groups are always just 'cool kids' who happen to micro focus on XYZ. Skaters skate not gatekeep people, and were just hyped to skate with anyone (at least in Santa Cruz). 'Oh you got a Nash board, cool. We should probably check if your trucks need tightening.' is the only normal response, not 'we should probably check how ground your trucks are before we can hang and you can join our club'.
