Oh, and the Agile "movement" of the early 2000s was really nothing more than angry programmers looking to return to the good old days when management was so mystified by the complexity of the machine or the software it ran that programmers could do what they wanted, absent a reasonable semblance of discipline, organization, or accountability.

> owning foreign property is unfriendly countries

This is pretty darn specific. It must be tiny fraction of applicants. Hell, most Americans never leave the United States in their lifetime. The security concern about heavy debts or debts to unfriendly counterparties makes sense to me. But what is the security concern with "owning foreign property is unfriendly countries"? They can take it from you?
I’d argue that they extract knowledge from the training corpus in the same way that knowledge can be encapsulated in a book… it’s just words, after all.

Tokenization goes well beyond words and punctuation. Knowledge and relationships between concepts, reactions, emotions, values, attitudes, and actions all get included in the vector space.

But, it also can come to wrong conclusions, of course.

Ultimately they are information extraction engines that are controlled by semantic search.

They aren’t smart.

But it turns out that in the same way that an infinitely sized and detailed choose-your-own-adventure book at 120 pages per second could be indistinguishable from a simulation of reality, the free traversal of the entirety of the wealth of human culture and knowledge is similarly difficult to distinguish from intelligence.

In the end it may boil down to the simulation vs reality argument.

Electromagnets for the rotor cause significantly more heating, exactly where it is hardest cool, and where the heat is most likely to seep into the load.

For high torque density applications, heat dissipation is often the limiting factor on duty cycle.

Also, the slip rings capable of passing high current to an electromagnet rotor are expensive and less robust than permanent magnets.

Essentially: it’s possible but I haven’t seen an application where it’s practical.

You don't need a css framework to do a flat UI, just remove all of the borders from every element.
So maybe it would be interesting if allocations could be tracked better for the test? Maybe see the distribution of allocation life in terms of how many minor GCs are survived (perhaps you need to hack in some whole-heap liveness checking each time there’s a minor gc, for the purposes of the experiment). I think it would be nice to be able to rule out ‘most objects are promoted but have short lives’ as a cause.
From the PoV of Alchemists they rarely (ie. never for the most part) appear as unbound elements in nature.

They are elements that require a lot of chemical processing to seperate and isolate.

The downside is that many of those processes generate a lot of toxic waste that requires (but often never receives) after treatment to neutralise.

Hence reports of dams of low level radioactive waste and so forth associate with rare earth processing (not so much mining as the concentrates are often mined and then shipped elsewhere for processing).

This is also a bit of a pet peeve of mine too. I surely learned a lot of "knowledge" during my PhD, but really what makes me an expert in my subject is less my ability to rattle off facts but

1. my ability to reason and understand the subject after a lot of experience working in it, and

2. the skills that I picked up during my PhD and afterwards.

I can really only "know" so much, but the skills that I developed help me get the right information without having to "know" it directly --- either by searching the literature, running a calculation or simulation, or performing an experiment. There are a lot of things that I have difficulty remembering but I only "know" them because I remember how to derive them and where they come from, etc. That's one of the reasons that I don't like the assertion that this model has ingested all of this knowledge and it is now an expert, because expertise goes beyond having knowledge. It's about developing a deeper understanding of a subject that only comes from actively engaging with it for a long time.
Definitely! In this iteration, my focus was on functionality to get the data out there. I can improve the UI to make the filtering system sleeker and more mobile-friendly. Additionally, I plan to create individual pages for the books, where I can include thumbnails and other finer details.
A mobile phone number is required for certain Discord servers (a setting available to the admins) but not for sign-up (maybe if you are using an IP in a suspicious/VPN range they force it now?). Otherwise they only require a valid email.

Trying to recreate the experience of loading a program from floppy or optical drives.

I feel your pain though: syspolicyd is my sworn enemy. Not only does it cause apps to hang on startup (ugh) while it tries to phone home (no thanks), it also periodically decides it needs to rescan all huge files it can find (like game updates that I've downloaded over the years) in case they might have suddenly turned into known malware. Whenever my laptop heats up for no obvious reason, it's usually some infernal combination of evil macOS demons (not a typo), (syspolicyd, mdworker, photoanalysisd).

It's a shame that in the current malware environment syspolicyd seems to serve enough of a useful purpose (for some subset of Mac users) to be turned on by default.
It is possible to reproduce one of the key claims in this post -- the "Russian tail" in the early voting tallies -- straight from the raw data hosted on the Clark County, NV website. This code can be run in a Colab notebook:

# Download and extract zip file
import requests
import zipfile
import io

# Get raw data from Clark County website
zip_url = "https://elections.clarkcountynv.gov/electionresultsTV/cvr/24G/24G_CVRExport_NOV_Final_Confidential.zip"

# Download the zip file
response = requests.get(zip_url)
zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(io.BytesIO(response.content))

# Extract to the current working directory
zip_file.extractall()

# Close the zip file
zip_file.close()

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# Read the actual data, skipping the first three header rows and excluding downballot races
df = pd.read_csv('/content/24G_CVRExport_NOV_Final_Confidential.csv', skiprows=3, usecols=range(21), low_memory=False)

# Find the Trump and Harris columns
trump_col = "REP"
harris_col = "DEM"

# Convert to numeric
df[trump_col] = pd.to_numeric(df[trump_col], errors='coerce')
df[harris_col] = pd.to_numeric(df[harris_col], errors='coerce')

# Filter for early voting
early_voting = df[df['CountingGroup'] == 'Early Voting']

# Group by tabulator and calculate percentages
tabulator_stats = early_voting.groupby('TabulatorNum').agg({
harris_col: 'sum',
trump_col: 'sum'
}).reset_index()

# Calculate total votes and percentages
tabulator_stats['total_votes'] = tabulator_stats[harris_col] + tabulator_stats[trump_col]
tabulator_stats['harris_pct'] = tabulator_stats[harris_col] / tabulator_stats['total_votes'] \* 100
tabulator_stats['trump_pct'] = tabulator_stats[trump_col] / tabulator_stats['total_votes'] \* 100

# Create subplots
fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2, 1, figsize=(10, 8))

# Plot Harris histogram
ax1.hist(tabulator_stats['harris_pct'], bins=50, edgecolor='black', color='blue', alpha=0.7)
ax1.set_title('Distribution of Harris Votes by Tabulator (Early Voting Only)')
ax1.set_xlabel('Percentage of Votes for Harris')
ax1.set_ylabel('Number of Tabulators')

# Plot Trump histogram
ax2.hist(tabulator_stats['trump_pct'], bins=50, edgecolor='black', color='red', alpha=0.7)
ax2.set_title('Distribution of Trump Votes by Tabulator (Early Voting Only)')
ax2.set_xlabel('Percentage of Votes for Trump')
ax2.set_ylabel('Number of Tabulators')

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

This produces a figure identical (up to histogram bucketing) to the one at the end of the linked article.

I view a "moderation call" as a binary allow or disallow. Once you get to the point of personally deciding that a post is good enough for the front page but not good enough for #1 or #2, you are making editorial decisions.

I tried to make it clear that I am talking about more than this individual post. That is why I used phrases like "these stories" and "stories like this". In an attempt to stop us from "missing each other", I'll be as direct as possible. The visibility of what is likely the most important ongoing story in the US at the moment should be up to more than just whether you personally are "fine with this article being on the front page of HN today".

It is definitely the case that certain neuromodulators exert negative feedback on each other, but this may not be factual. Maybe the way I would make your point is that the external feedback we interact with can more or less quickly drive our brain into extremes on the brain state continuum.
I agree people aren't great at this either and my post said as much.

However we're familiar with the human limits of this and LLMs are currently much worse.

This is particularly relevant because someone suffering from the mistaken belief that LLM's could explain their reasoning might go on to attempt to use that to justify the misapplication of an LLM.

E.g. fine tune some LLM using resume examples so that it almost always rejects Green-skinned people, but approve the LLMs use in hiring decisions because it is insistent that it would never base a decision on someone's skin color. Humans can lie about their biases of course, but a human at least has some experience with themselves while a LLM usually has no experience observing themself except for the output visible in their current window.
So, you don’t care about the waste fraud and abuse that has been happening - but are concerned about something that maybe could happen.

I also should have added that the ability to self explain when COT was in use only goes as deep as the COT, as soon as you probe deeper such that the content of the COT requires explanation the LLM is back in the realm of purely making stuff up again.

A non-hallucinated answer could only recount the COT and beyond that it would only be able to answer "Instinct."-- sure the LLM's response has reasoning hidden inside it, but that reasoning is completely inaccessible to the LLM.

Are you sure you didn't also have a bunch of typos in your prompts? ;)
My prior is reasoning is a conscious activity. There is a first person perspective. LLMs are so far removed mechanically from brains the idea they reason is not even remotely worth considering. Modeling neurons can be done with a series of pipes and flowing water, and that is not expected to give arise to consciousness either. Nor are nuerons and synapses likely to be sufficient for consciousness.

You know how we insert ourselves into the process of coming up with a delicious recipe? That first person perspective might be also necessary for reasoning. No computer knows the taste of mint, it must be given parameters about it. So if a computer comes up with a recipe with mint, we know it wasn’t via tasting anything ever.

A calculator doesn’t reason. A facsimile of something we have no idea about its role in consciousness has the same outlook as the calculator.

So, in the context of the US, yes, those trends are reversing, so it is apropos to examine it (see article content). I am fully aware of the tendency of grumpy old people decrying the amoral youth, my point is that the degree of nihilsim seems qualitatively different than 70's burn-out, 80's goth, or 90's grunge, or what have you. It appears more like a kind of defeatism than rebellion (the more normal youth passtime). Who knows, maybe during the great depression the younger generation was in a similar place, don't know, not THAT old ;-) But it seems less a case of "those old peoples values aren't MY values" and more of a "there are no values" differnce than previous generatonal divides.
If you are at the point of having to deal with individual servers and have a very fast-paced development (startup), or have to deal with very burstable traffic spikes (say e-commerce), cloud is probably your friend.

But sometimes you just need more compute and you are the type of organization that buys compute by the floor space and power consumption...

Regardless of the nuances of each situation, I think jsiepkes's comment meant to say that in the data center you can buy pretty killer hardware that will be totally overkill for the moment and won't require you to count active timeseries in order to not pay $300k a month for your metrics, and at the same time will last you for the next couple of years.

Also, for most companies, the next point of inflection will never come and this server will probably last them for a very, very long time.

I'm sharing my point of view as someone who works at an organization that took money as the only consideration and managed to grow over the years to now having to start taking both time and money into consideration because taking only money into consideration proves to be too expensive.

What was the impact of the "exposed personal information" from Change Healthcare? One thing that makes me suspicious when I see those leaked personal details headlines: I am sure that my own personal info has been leaked many, many times. And, yet, never once have I been hacked (PC/laptop/phone) or had financial crimes against me (steal credit card, unauth'd charges, etc.). And, I write this as a total normie, who basically depends upon Google Accounts/Passwords to "do it all for me" (and my commercial banks where I have bank + credit cards). I don't do anything particularly special.

To be clear: I am not here to defend companies with weak cybersecurity, but the impact of these leaks is virtually nil. "One hundred million" sounds like a huge number, but it provides little insight on the realised impacts.
