This post really verbalized my own similar experiences so much better than I ever could have:

- I always think what could go wrong, but of course, it's all about the edge cases!

- what the last 10% really consists of.
You are breaking the law by omitting the salaries for US positions.
I hear you , and that's a stretch. Trump is a party of his own. Until recently, most of the GOP were Trump antagonists. He was so soft on the abortion issue during the campaign that most pro-lifer's wrote him off until he won.
I hope you have real empathy for the kooks on the Right with their own struggles with conspiracy explanations...

My conspiracy theory: the names you mentioned don't give a rat's ass what some anon posts on this "website"
I wish Steam offered a console format of the deck, essentially the same thing, but with better specs, HDMI out and bluetooth for controllers. Would be a massive hit I wager.
The data breach Disney had last year is reported to be caused by downloading a malicious mod in a work computer, which then fetched the Slack credentials and downloaded everything available. Many a cryptocurrency wallet is emptied out with similar attack vectors.

We might have better computer security than with Windows 95, but the level of isolation we need to have a semblance of security is very rare and it's very easy for people to slip.
Trump was elected, and Elon was appointed by Trump?

No, you are wrong. I would. The pod would be mine though.
An interesting theory that a colleague proposed to me recently is that it is indeed consistent with free market principles for monopolistic entities to emerge and influence public policy. Consumers presumably think very hard about every purchasing decision weighing both economic value proposition (are these bananas cheaper than those bananas) as well as social signaling (should I buy a beer that has an advertisement with a trans person). If they want a business to have more political influence, they will buy more of their products and services. Therefore operators of the business have a fiduciary duty to shareholders and customers to exert as much influence over public policy as possible.
I'm new to this topic. Can someone help me understand this sentence?

"Meanwhile, through the next-token prediction constraint, the explicit
textual symbols of the hidden representations for Heima
Encoder are aligned to the text of the corresponding special
tokens {<CoT>(k)} in vocabulary, while the hidden representations contained in hidden states of thinking tokens remain distinct and variable depending on the inputs"

I understand that they have fine-tuned the MLLM to produce, in response to each query and image input, the CoT "thinking tokens" in addition to the answer.

How does that establish an association between the thinking tokens and the original plain-English CoT statements?

The second clause seems to say that the thinking tokens encode information that is "distinct and variable depending on the inputs." Is my interpretation correct?
If that actually was the goal, and if this function were being executed by a legally formed executive branch agency, with non-partisan career employees that have been properly vetted, hired, and granted security clearances, I might be behind this effort.

But that's not what's happening.

It's clear to me their goal is to dismantle as many "leftist" agencies as possible, like environmental protection, labor rights protection, securities laws enforcement, humanitarian aid, etc., and replace them with people who will enrich their friends and families and allow corporations to run roughshod over the rights of regular people.

It is bizarre to me that anyone could lack the critical thinking skills such that they'd accept DOGE's stated goals at face value.

If one need only craft a jailbreak for the question they are interested in, a less universal jailbreak suffices to cause the trouble they're pretending can be avoided.
One team follows the rules, the other team doesn't care about rules and doesn't follow them. Guess which one struggles to achieve their goals.

This is the predictable outcome of the last 50 years of US politics, of the subversion of the rule of law and decency. The southern strategy, the 1994 Newt Gingrich legislative session, the failure of the supreme court to allow recounts in Bush V Gore, the teaparty, september 11th. All of it has only served to entrench and reward conservative opposition to the rule of law.
Yep. This is the first time I've mentioned this but there are actually two implementations of this in the codebase -- one uses gVisor and one is an incredibly bare-bones TCP implementation that I wrote myself in 550 lines of Go code (tcp.go). The home-grown one isn't used by default and it doesn't support much of TCP proper, but it actually works pretty well. You can use it with `--stack=homegrown`.
Congratulations on the strong reception of min-p. Very clever!

We may be talking about two orthogonal things here. And also to be clear, I don't care about theoretical guarantees either.

Now, min-p is solving for the inadequacies of standard sampling techniques. It is almost like a clever adaptive search which other sampling methods fail at (despite truncations like top-k/top-p).

However, one thing that I noticed in the min-p results was that lower temperatures were almost always better in the final performance (and quite expectedly the inverse for creating writing). This observation makes me think that the underlying model is generally fairly good at ranking the best tokens. What sampling allows us is a margin-for-error in cases where the model ranked a relevant next token not at the top, but slightly lower.

Therefore, my takeaway from min-p is that it solves for deficiencies of current samplers but its success is not in contradiction to the fact that logprobs are bad proxies for semantics. Sampling is the simplest form of search, and I agree with you that better sampling methods are a solid ingredient to extract information from logprobs.
When Keirans first stole the identity in the 80s he bought a car with bad checks and got a job at a fast food place. Keirans had already had a run in with the law for car theft so working under a false name made some sense. From then on it seems like it just snowballed.
19 year olds are much more malleable. They can be fanatic, and follow orders easily. They aren't educated. They have a limited grasp of morality, and can't oversee the consequences of their actions. They have no other obligation in life than to this holy task.

That's why it's relevant.

It's muddy but the Executive isn't making laws it makes regulations constrained by and implementing the laws passed by Congress. It's all nominally rooted in some law the Congress passed and instead of just making those interpretations known when they sue you because you're using a financial instrument to defraud people there's a whole process of making it known how the Executive believe the old laws relate to new situations. Congress has neither the bandwidth nor the knowledge to keep abreast of every novel maneuver around the law so they say this type of thing is illegal and this agency is in charge of saying what type new things are.

A great example of that are with various toxins and pollutants, there's no system in which we can go through the whole process of making a new law every time we discover that some miracle chemical is giving people giga-cancer. Instead Congress tasks an agency full of experts to decide what safe levels of the giga-cancer causing chemical is and makes sure we only ingest slightly below the LD50 of that so we can statistically live.
Yes, the government ID being easy to get is precisely the problem in this scenario.
I am saying that the pandemic caused an statistical outlier election shift that year and Trump’s election in 2024 where the stats sort of reset to baseline makes it seem pretty likely that without the pandemic and with his ability to increase votes in every election, the 2020 election would have been much closer. Frankly with the weak dem field in 2020 and without the pandemic, I would have bet on Trump winning.

I am not sure what the first 100 days of his second term will bring and I will make no dire predictions (literally all of the dire predictions people made in 2016 were wrong). I have never voted for Trump, but I am not tribal enough to automatically assume that everything he does or is doing is bad either. Short of the last 9 months of his first presidency, his first time in office had zero negative impact on me.

Truthfully, my bet is this second term will likely be as equally uneventful…at least for me and my family.
I could see a poorly coded stringly parsed interface (think sql) triggering on a mid span character sequence. but I agree, it would have to be a real mess of an interface. For example the client uses "eof" to separate or end queries.
FWIW, people thought that when Obama ran around saying “these extrajudicial drone strikes are illegal” they assumed that he would end them rather than do what he actually did - make them legal.

Why? To what end? How will any of that have any effect in the next two years, at least? Nobody elected Elon or any of the DOGE people.

Same here actually -- have wanted this from time to time for years. Finally sat down and worked it out.
I’m not a mental health professional, so I won’t comment on the ADHD side of things. But as a tech and business lead, I can say this trait is actually the norm; Zuckerberg-types are the exception.

Most software engineers I’ve worked with love writing code. They’re good at it, they know what they’re doing, and they can make steady progress toward what they set out to build. But what comes after writing code—the rejection, the silence, the outages, the bug reports—isn’t as fun.

Shipping software is easy for us (engineers) because, as engineers, we’re in total control. But landing it in the market? That’s a different challenge—one that requires skills we often don’t have.

But the good news is - like any other skills, we can develop this one too. I have observed significant improvement in myself over last few years in "Landing vs shipping" as I have been working on this trait deliberately. Still a long way to go...

Meanwhile male authors had to be less exceptional to win or succeed. Simple as that. Men had lower bar, every step of the way.

Also, claim that hugo winners won only because of their gender is crap. They won't the vite fairly. Unlike sad puppies, they did not even needed politically motivated coordination for that.
> They were british subjects, who identified themselves as british subjects, fighting under the british flag for the british crown. No canadian fought in the war of 1812. No canadian flag existed then. No canadian nation. No canadian identity.

You are very quick to dismiss the establishment of Canadian identity, and disregard the history of the development of Canada. You are correct that the Canadian flag didn't exist then, but then again, the American flag didn't exist until close to the end of the American Revolution.

> Canadians do so because they have very little history to cling to. So they steal a bit of british history for themselves

Canadian military history includes British military history because we too were a colony of the British Empire. It turns out that there are a large number of Canadians who can trace their ancestry back to folks who settled in Canada well before Canada was a country. Their military service includes fighting for the French and the British before Canada was a country, including during the Revolutionary War. You could do some reading on this, there are many great books on the topic, and there is a ton of information on Wikipedia that outlines the history.

> Also, the british created the dominion of canada, not canadians. What do you think dominion means?

Specifically, in that era? It means a sovereign territory within the British Empire. The Dominion of Canada was established by the 1867 British North America act.

> Almost 3 whole generations. But even then you are off by more than a century (1982).

Yes. Change takes time - the American Revolution took almost 20 years, and didn't start with the Revolutionary War. Even after the Revolutionary War, there were additional rebellions and invasions into what would become Canada and it took time for things to settle down. Canada was established as a nation in 1867, and 1982 was absolutely a watershed moment where Canada established it's own Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but dismissing Canada's role as a nation prior to that is historically inaccurate.

> Other than having to kick out the british in the PNW in the 1840s/50s.

That didn't actually result in border changes that were different from what was established in 1818, it did however, lead to clarification that those borders were in place and would be defended.

> If you are curious about who won the war of 1812, go look into british land claims and american land claims prior to 1812.

I am not sure what you are on about here. The Treaty of Ghent included terms that dictated that the borders would return to the pre-war state. Neither the British nor the Americans won - that said, the US does have a history of failing in expansionism and labelling it a win, so I guess more power to you?

Beyond that, like I said, aside from some coastal island changes, and the Alaskan border, the majority of borders between United States and Canada have remained unchanged since 1818. The United States attempted to invade Upper and Lower Canada and take them over, and were repelled.
> the people asked for this, right?

No, not by sufficient margin.

Even assuming every state would decide this direct question the same way as they did the Presidency this past election, a Constitutional amendment requires ratification by 38 states.

> The will of people is the ultimate judge, isn't it?

Ultimately it has to be, but not always in the moment. The bar to Constitutional amendment is high for a reason.
I'm not convinced that the democrats (most of them anyway) are actually apposed to what is happening. Both parties seem to have largely the same goals just preferring to use different tactics in order to achieve them.
Different industries have different standard procedures. A huge portion of the world's internet relies on FOSS software, and none of those are insured.

They tried some years back https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(computer) but it didn't really hit big. That said recent updates to SteamOS and agreements around logo/branding use hint that we're likely to see a few other options in the coming year or two (alongside some 3rd-party handhelds running SteamOS).
I was reading https://apnews.com/article/usaid-foreign-aid-freeze-trump-pe... this morning and that article noted that USAID was apparently established by JFK. Wikipedia confirms that ("... USAID was subsequently established by the executive order of President John F. Kennedy ..."), and although USAID website is down right now, https://web.archive.org/web/20241229151048/https://www.usaid... seems to confirm that too.

I asked ChatGPT and it said many other agencies were established by EOs (e.g. FEMA, NSA, NASA, EPA). Quote from ChatGPT: "Many agencies later received congressional authorization, but their initial formation or restructuring was often directed by executive orders."
So it seems like the last paragraph is incorrect.

As a New Zealander, the whole debacle appears just like just another normal contradictory US narrative.

Edit: and the concept of a wealth fund implies either:

(1) the US investing in foreign non-US shares - most sovereign wealth funds invest in US and offshore, or

(2) a fund that self-invests within the country - often non-capitalistic (e.g. invest for government policy initiatives) or crony.
Interestingly, the game doesn't run as admin for any good reason. The first thing I did was only let the launcher and game run as the user with RunAsInvoker. The anticheat alone is allowed RunAsAdmin. At the same time, I don't trust any anticheat. It's probably worse than useless, but it is what it is. I thought Microsoft would clean this up after the Crowdstrike incident for all kernel-level code, but I guess there's no incentive for them to only let game companies request runtime analysis / reports rather than run code. As for the anti-cheat industry, they should focus on patterns of user behavior to help game companies moderate the players as much as neccesary.
I can't wait for the kernel's rule to become "if you won't take Rust code, we'll replace you with another maintainer who will" one day.

Show HN: Hair Transplant Analysis with AI
I don't know what you think but I don't trust most of the hair transplant clinics.
They will charge you per graft transplanted but you will typically have no proof. Just a trust based system. Because they said so.
I wanted to change that quickly and efficiently. Now, using simple computer vision techniques and with help of latest AI models, It gets easier. With this mobile app(ios only for now), you can get graft count estimation, a hair transplant analysis with a success score, recommendations and suggestions. It is time to verify what you have been told in those clinics.
Experience - which comes with age - is absolutely critical in all intellectual pursuits, including programming, government, and just about everything else. Experts and lifetime learners learn more each day. A 20 year old simply has not had the time to be exposed to the same breadth or depth of ideas, or to critique them seriously. Younger people are also far more vulnerable to hormonal impulses, manipulation, and more likely to have been exposed to a much more limited world view.

I can’t imagine anyone but insufferably arrogant - and really fucking wrong - young people making an argument to the contrary. Not that there aren’t benefits to youth - being unburdened by complexity, ignorant enough to be especially bold - but these aren’t actually that useful. And we have good evidence to support that; older founders do better, for example: https://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/younger-old...
