ritvik here from pulse. everyone’s pretty much made the right points here, but wanted to emphasize that due to the llm architecture, they predict “the most probable text string” that corresponds to the embedding, not necessarily the exact text. this non-deterministicness is awful for customers deploying in production and a lot of our customers complained about this to us initially. the best approach is to build a sort-of “agent”-based VLM x traditional layout segmentation/reading order algos, which is what we’ve done and are continuing to do.

we have a technical blog on this exact phenomena coming out in the next couple days, will attach it here when it’s out!

Isn't it amazing how one company invented a universally spread format that takes structured data from an editor (except images obviously) and converts it into a completely fucked-up unstructured form that then requires expensive voodoo magic to convert back into structured data.
In my experience, their description sounds exactly like the greater emulation and retrogaming scene in general.
Sounds like it would then make sense to hide crypto primitives and their footguns under a "hazmat" or "danger" namespace, sorta like webcrypto or libsodium.

So something like crypto.danger.bcrypt and crypto.bcryptWithTruncation

You sure did edit the hell out of your post. Obviously you aren't operating in good faith. But I should have figured that when, in your first post, you claimed the US collects $12T in taxes without reference and then ignored my reference showing it false. Have a great week.

It is kind of inevitable when you think of it. Regardless of how one implements DEI, its success is still going to be measured by looking at the demographic breakdown. So even if the implementation isn't literally quotas, the metric is - and once you have the metric, everything else is optimized around that. If quotas cannot be used directly, then other mechanisms will be introduced that amount to the same thing in practice (as with Harvard character assessment etc).
It's challenging because one person's "politics" is another person's "my extended family is being actively slaughtered in the middle east, how can I think or talk about anything else." Is the person wrong for that? The line for what is and isn't politics is incredibly blurry and is almost always drawn on the side of whoever already has the most privilege
> For example, California has 58 counties, but Kentucky has 120. That means that the "resolution" of the data in California is half as accurate as the data in Kentucky despite having ten times as many inhabitants and 4 times the land area.

Kentucky also simply looks larger, which over-indexes its importance. I can't really think of any data that I would want visualized by county directly, especially data about people. In California alone, there is a 9000:1 population variance between the largest and smallest county.
Seems 1:1?
Affirmative action is strictly _better_ than some of the DEI nonsense. With affirmative action, you just reserve a bunch of positions for minorities, and then give them out based on merit.

With most of DEI, you either tweak the criteria to make job positions easier to get for minorities, or you lower your standards.
its actually a personality test, that ideally should be designed to be well-suited to filter out personality types that tend to be successful at the job.

The scandal was coaching people how to pass the personality test. That's just a waste. You end up getting people who are a bad fit for the job, and will ultimately not be successful long-term

For instance, I will ace any aptitude test at 99.9%+ percentile easily (I always do at any standardized test, SAT, GRE, MCAT etc). Yet I would be a terrible terrible fit for ATC. The level of detail-orientedness it needs day to day for me would be a challenge. I can do it for short periods of time of absolute concentration, but my god, there is no way I would last at the job long-term. Training me would have been a waste of scarce resources. But I know several people that such tasks energize them and may not score as high on the aptitude test, but would be a better fit for that job long-term

If done well, including personality test could have been a good way to produce better outcomes, and increase the early part of the pipelines by opening it up to more people than just CTI grads.

Yeah, because Bjarne was figuring it out as he went. Which is fair, he was treading new ground. But C++ would have turned out a lot better if he'd taken a lot more vacation time.

I mean, it wasn't even that security wasn't a thing: the earliest incarnations of the Internet were defense projects, and after that, connections between university networks. Abuse was nonexistent because you knew everyone on your given network. Bob up the hall wouldn't try to steal your credit card or whatever, because you'd call the police.

I think a decent idea is, we need to bring personal accountability back into the equation. That's how an open-trust network works, and we know that, because that's how society works. You don't "trust" that someone walking by your car won't take a shit in your open window: they could. But there are consequences for that. We need rock solid data security policies that apply to anyone who does business, hosts content, handles user data online, and people need to use their actual names, actual addresses, actual phone numbers, etc. etc. in order to interact with it. I get that there are many boons to be had with the anonymity the Internet offers, but it also enables all of the horseshit we all hate. A spammer can spam explicitly because their ISP doesn't care that they do, email servers don't have their actual information, and in the odd event they are caught and are penalized, it's fucking trivial to circumvent it. Buy a new AWS instance, run a script to setup your spam box, upload your database of potential victims, and boom, you're off.

A lot of tech is already drifting this way. What is HTTPS at it's core if not a way to verify you are visiting the real Chase.com? How many social networking sites now demand all kinds of information, up to and including a photo of your driver's license? Why are we basically forbidden now by good practice from opening links in texts and emails? Because too many people online are anonymous, can't be trusted, and are acting maliciously. Imagine how much BETTER the Internet would be if when you fucked around, you could be banned entirely? No more ban evasion, ever.

I get that this is a controversial opinion, but fundamentally, I don't think the Internet can function for much longer while being this free. It's too free, and we have too many opportunistic assholes in it for it to remain so.
The US FDA's position on this is well-reasoned.

US eggs are generally vaccinated against salmonella and washed. The vaccination part isn't mandatory but it is cost effective so producers do it anyway. The effectiveness of the salmonella vaccines is middling at best and unpredictable -- eggs are still a major source of salmonella outbreaks in Europe. The benefit of washing eggs versus vaccines is that it produces a reliable result whereas the vaccine effectiveness has high variance. Also, this isn't a "European" thing, some parts of Europe also wash their eggs for the same reason. The US only started washing eggs in the 1970s, in a successful effort to reduce salmonella incidence.

Salmonella vaccines that work consistently and effectively in poultry are still an active area of research, it isn't a solved problem.

Regardless of what you believe, US food regulations regarding bacterial contamination are significantly stricter than Europe outside of Scandinavia. There are a number of well-known cases where European producers modified or upgraded their production processes to meet US sanitary requirements to enable exports. Scandinavian countries notably don't have to do this because their standards are similar to the US.

There may be other dimensions of food safety that are better in Europe but mitigating bacterial contamination is famously not one of them.
I don't know? To this day people still fuss about concentration camps here, while the leader clearly had given authority to do so. People are just too political these days.

By the way, I heard the Palestinian Problem is going to be solved for good?
You can get just as outraged by diving deep into official government PDFs and finding out by yourself from the source what they are doing.

Sticking your head in the sand is of course a "solution", but that is willfully choosing to be nothing more than a subject to the rulers.

Another solution is to limit your news intake and your political passion to the things that have the most real implications on your life and on the people you care about, while limiting your own exposure and vulnerability to governments as much as possible.

If you have the data set of known bugs, going through them should give you the cause.
I do expect a strong correlation of basic coverage for simple UB things and input set/formulae coverage for the harder to hit ones, specifically as the code scales.

For formal proofs the effort scales quadratically, does Rust code also become quadratically slower with some constant factor?
I'd assume runtime-checks could provide statistical safety and each component may need statistics tweaking unless being small enough/verified/edge cases enumerable with reasonable certainty etc.
Are you aware of any known statistics or work besides the 0,x bugs per 1000 lines of code taking into account classes of bugs?
Or what is your take on this?
> There's a big difference.

There's no difference in the short term. Something being illegal, doesn't mean it will stop anytime soon in this political situation. Remaking the same obvious point is tedious and smacks of word games to try a to make a backdoor political statement. Yes, some act is odious and against a law. Not relevant to whether or not it will have the desired consequence, regardless of who is ever held accountable.

> but then every 3 year you got to take the hatchet, grab each chicken, cut right on the neck and then hang it with it's feet while it's bleeding out and flapping its wings.

Is this a requirement? My friends parents keep chickens and dont kill any of them.

They dont have fly problems as the chickens spend most of their day outside of the coop letting them shit on the ground like nature intended. This disperses the waste preventing it from piling up into a fly trap.

As far as the pecking order, yes, there were issues with birds attacking others but they dealt with this by splitting up the pens. The chickens sort of form clicks around roosters and the in-crowd is safe while outsiders are harassed. So they identified the clicks by watching who follows who and moving them to the other pen. In some cases they had protective garb, chicken clothing, that protected chickens rear ends from further harm or aggressive rooster mating.

> Beside i don't know what you do with chicken corpse in city, you aren't going to put it in recycling can.

NYC sanitation has a composting bin program (granted it's not popular) which would likely be the best method of chicken corpses disposal. My only issue in cities is chickens should be raised on green land and most is paved allowing little to no ability for the chickens to feed off the land.

> Nobody says we have to be good at everything we do

This is advice I have to push on my kids constantly, because they are obsessed with finding that one thing they are better than everyone else in the world.

"Do some" is not advice I got as a kid, but my mom eventually figured it out and told me that when was in my mid 20s or something.

Her words (from Malayalam) are best translated as "For whom a little is not enough, nothing is ever enough".

I think that's true for everything from money to self-worth. Enough is too hard to have.

> Do you not know the conventions of your project?

> Did you just make that up and hope no one would call you out?

No, but it looks like a lot of people are misunderstanding the court's ruling...

`The question presented is whether the admissions systems used by Harvard College and UNC are lawful under the Equal Protection Clause of the Four-
teenth Amendment`

"This admission system is not lawful" is not the same as "your institution has been illegally discriminatory towards a certain race". One is pointing out mismatches between law and reality, the other needs to be backed up by data.
Ignoring the constitution isn't a "reform" it's lawlessness. There's no other developed country in the world where the government's actual structure is so divorced from its written constitution.

People voted for the administrative state in the 1930s, and they've been voting to cut back on it since 1980. Since then, the only President who won elections without promising to shrink government were Obama (in response to the disaster of Iraq and the Great Recession) and Biden (in response to COVID).
Judging by length of audiobooks, four hours is the length of the novella long essay A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld adaptations all come in around 9-10 hours and those are short books that require my full attention due to the wordplay and setup for jokes sometimes being longish. One would have to double the speed and sacrifice comprehension to meet this goal. I had to listen to first hour of some Greg Egan book and the glossary about ten times before I grokked it.
Also, books. Books are amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-Le9SH4mvU
> It's not that the AI produces more

We're not debating whether they do. "Humans that write news articles" are producing. That contrasts with "an individual mak[ing] a single copy of a song and giv[ing] it to a friend." We don't put journalists in jail for plagiarism.
> I worry Elon's going a bit bonkers with drugs or whatever.

This is most of the reason I don't have a Tesla. The entire company will fold if Musk takes a bit too much ketamine and has a Roseanne Barr moment.

At that point I won't be able to get parts as the vehicles were built from the ground up to be hostile to third party repairs.

I don't want to be left holding the bag because Elon wanted to smoke a bag.
Yes it is, but the court case only answered the first question and previous court cases failed to get a satisfactory(for the conservative groups behind them) ruling on the "illegal discrimination" parts.

It's also possible that the "unconstitutional" program lead to satisfactory results for minority groups(both asian and non-asian), but we are just guessing either way based off of a ruling that's only tangentially related.
I care about the craft of constructing programs. I do not care about the craft of typesetting them.
this is what at the core of DEI.
Correct!

Far too many people believe in the myth of pure meritocracy. Instead, what most people really see as meritocracy is actually just something reinforces built-in un-meritocratic advantages.

For real meritocracy, the best approach is to nurture all people with ability, not just device some "test" of meritocracy and demand that fidelity to that test result is the answer.

It's a bit of a pick your poison situation. You're right that traditional OCR mistakes are usually easy to catch (except when you get $30.28 vs $80.23). Compared to LLM hallucinations that are always plausibly correct.

But on the flip side, layout is often times the biggest determinant of accuracy, and that's something LLMs do a way better job on. It doesn't matter if you have 100% accurate text from a table, but all that text is balled into one big paragraph.

Also the "pick the most plausible" approach is a blessing and a curse. A good example is the handwritten form here [1]. GPT 4o gets the all the email addresses correct because it can reasonably guess these people are all from the same company. Whereas AWS treats them all independently and returns three different emails.

> The people voted for this: a majority of the American people. Democracy, no?

Does this mean it was wrong of Republicans to have tried to stop anything Obama or Biden was trying to do? Or question it's legality?

I keep hearing this "the people voted for it argument", but unless your prepared to condemn things like limiting the scope of the ACA and refusing to confirm justices, it's hard to take the argument seriously.

I like the analogy, additionally, it seems like just 'stopping coming to work' is something that you could be fired for cause for. So if it comes up later that hey, this person has not been working due to a agreement that the government had no right to agree to.

Well we'll be nice and just fire them, won't even ask for salary to be returned.
My understanding is that when a job is available, it is because a job billet has been approved, which means that the position is funded through the lifecycle of the position.

The job isn’t going away, the person is going away. Was the job needed? Look at any employer and ask that.
An inferiority complex, for one.
This is not a Bjarne issue.

The font is selected by the HTML/CSS of the ACM site, not by Bjarne.

There may be a bug in the CSS of the ACM site, but I think that it is more likely that anyone who does not see correctly formatted code on that page has forgotten to open the settings of their browsers and select appropriate default fonts for "serif", "sans serif" and "monospace".

As installed, most browsers very seldom have appropriate default fonts, you normally must choose them yourself.

In this case, whoever does not see a monospace font, which is mandatory for rendering the code on that page, because the indentation is done with spaces, which become too narrow if rendered with a proportional font, must have that proportional font set in their browser as a default monospace font, so they should correct this.
To echo further, they may be leaning on something like the [ja4 fingerprint](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=8997844...) (which you'd need to rebuild curl to emulate that chromium version to try and trick).
I'm all in on thinking modern cars are too fat but "maybe 600kg" is an absurd suggestion. That's less than a Smart Fortwo. There'll be a market for that but it's not what "Europeans want".
Sure.

I spoke to my uncle about this when he was convalescing in a nursing home. We live in New York, neither of our votes counted. I voted for Harris, he voted for Trump.

He did not see it as a black or white thing, he saw it as a comparison. He didn't see Harris as giving any reason why he should vote for her other than, maybe, she is a woman. The message that you shouldn't vote for Trump didn't resonate. Personally I saw Jan 6 as worse than Sept 11 but actually most people don't. Probably the best explanation I see for this is talked about in this podcast

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/will-tariffs-end-trump...

where Americans were asked "What issues matter to you?" and "What issues matter to X party?" and found that the lists mostly lined up when X=Republican but that people didn't see Democrats talking about the issues that mattered to them.

This is connected to my argument above because the reason why Democrats fall into that trap is the same thing that has ruined center-left parties everywhere in the world: that they make a lot of cheap talk to impress their base while reserving the spoils for their donors.

The good news is that people will be pretty sick of the Republicans in 2 years and if the Democrats were a normal party they would take over the house of representatives pretty definitively then. They've got an amazing way to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory though.
Fair point. North Korea is the one that I can't explain.
