> They eliminate curiosity about the root problem

Sure but they also give consistency, avoid the sheen of "you can behave badly if you do it infrequently", and avoid the kind of loophole lawyering you often get when rules aren't consistently and stringently applied.

> usually end up backfiring catastrophically at some point.

Having been in many forums where bad behaviour[0] was not rooted out at source immediately and forcefully, I can say from my experience that also ends up badly. Perhaps not for the people in charge and their favoured brethren, I'll grant you.

[0] Including my own on occasion, I am ashamed to say with hindsight.
> Either ads are 0% effective, or they're 100% effective.

I think one of us are maybe confused. I don’t think this has anything to do with what I was saying.

I was saying that even if only 10% of all ads you see in a day stick with you, that’s still quite a few ads.

If you see 100 ads in a day, a certain amount of them will stick with you and a certain amount won’t.

That’s not to say anything about the percentage effectiveness of any given ad or whatever.
> vanguard owns a huge chunk of ibm

Vanguard and other large institutions own a huge chunk of everything because most investors don't buy stocks directly, they buy them through mutual funds, ETFs, etc...
Makes sense, good luck! I know that sounds snarky, I'm looking forward to rational progress and cooperation on the evolution and adoption of the standard. Just haven't seen that played out in such a planned orderly fashion yet (ipv6?).
I have a 3:1 preference for services that don’t unnecessarily require a mobile number to sign up.
(I'm straying pretty far from topic, and I for one don't care much. It's still about cooking food, right?)

I think the bacon tray thing I remember was made by Anchor Hocking. I've found them while thrifting and I leave them on the shelf for someone else -- bacon in the oven (or in a cast iron skillet) is just simpler, even including the differences in mess.

Man, slow cookers. My mom gave me one once. As such things were at that time, it was nice: Big, Crock Pot-branded, removable guts, stainless outside, glass lid, one knob, two or three speeds. She still has a big thing for them and was very pleased to give it to me as a gift.

A then-SO persuaded me to donate it during a downsizing. I was a little bit bummed, but then: I recognized that I had never really used it.

That was a decade ago. I've found that I haven't missed it a bit. The only thing it was really good for was shredded chicken sandwiches from locally-canned chicken (which seems to be an Ohio-only thing), and that was something I only ever made one time in my decades of cooking.

Otherwise it was just a glorified food-keeper-warmer, and there's other ways to do that.

I've politely refused other gifts of slow cookers.

---

But these new-fangled Instant Pots (and their similar kin) are pretty sweet, I think. They don't really do even a quarter of the stuff they're advertised to do, but they're really good at doing things like beans and braised meats fast.

An electric pressure cooker allowed deciding to make a supper of chili with dry beans (another Midwestern thing) became a decision that could be made in the early evening instead of the night before. And with the Keep Warm function, it'll stay at a reasonably-safe serving temperature automatically -- much like the slow cooker's most-useful trick.

Swissed steak (you know, the economical dish that is ideally made with whatever low-grade hunk of cow is on sale cheap today along with some tomatoes and onions)? Fast, proper, spoon-tender, and delicious.

I don't use it as much as I could, but it's always pretty rewarding when I do.

(It's hypothetically no better or safer than a properly-used old-school stove-top pressure cooker, but the automatic timer and temperature/pressure regulation makes proper use a whole lot easier.)
First, nobody elected Musk. Second, many of the voters which selected Trump this cycle did so out of frustration with their current situation, primarily the cost of living. Those people didn't want chaos or disregard for the rule of law, they wanted more affordable groceries, rent, and increased wages. They were either uninformed or deliberately misinformed, and we all now have to suffer for their choices. They were imaging that things would go back to how they were during Trump's first term (ignoring the mishandling of the pandemic entirely), not understanding that there is no going back. You can't just reverse prices without causing a deflationary spiral, you don't even want to stop the desired level of inflation (2-3%), because doing so will also damage the economy. You want wages to increase faster to inflation, and over time it will even out. The government could pass regulations which eliminated illegal coordination and price fixing in the rental market, but you can bet every Trump Coin you have that this administration won't do that. They could also pass legislation to incentivize corporations from gobbling up houses all over the country, but again, this administration won't help with that either.

These voters, plain and simple, ignorantly voted against their best interests, and we may never recover from that mistake.
Yeah, once OS-9 came out we got some decent game ports too. That’s where I discovered Epyx Rogue! It was very late in the lifespan of the system though.

C64/128 was what I was thinking of more than anything re 8-bit competition, keeping in mind I’m talking mid-late 80s by this point. I do also remember Atari 800 (and later) doing considerably better than you imply. But you’re right, Apple captured the early-mid 80s gaming market nicely.
Jokes apart, Will it be ?

I wonder how the world and humans will adapt to this.
For now, the capitalistic pressure at least urges people to maintain services, I wonder how this will translate in a future where having a property (landmines, factory, farm, ...) and allowing it to be exploited are the only forms of professionalism.

I am afraid of the lust for power people seems to suffer from. Aren't there humans that would be glad to be winners among losers ? Why would these people share their valuable assets for free with anyone ?
Cite the regs. Cure what you feel is inaccurate.
Kde isn't a distro?
Definitely not obvious, and at that time I wasn't even aware of many of the resources, it even how to search well. Coming from a Windows world, all I knew at the time was that something which I'd taken for granted just didn't work. The ideal was nice, but it wasn't practical.
Your phone going “dark” during an action is in itself a signal that you are involved in the action. Especially when it deviates from your phones normal activity patterns.

It would make more sense to leave your phone on and at home. However, you can’t use any of the tools the articles lists if you have no phone.
Don't watch the White Christmas Black Mirror episode.
Trump was never serious about his promises, but he’s good at performing it. DOGE seems to be the only real major change now, apparently Musk is serious about it. Trump will probably drag Musk to recycle bin a year from now to make himself more likable.
I signed up and right from the start I have -3 words left. LOL
I never understood the logic behind that asymmetric ranking scale.

Around 16 years ago our CEO was talked into using this. After 3 quarters of using it, he killed it because it wasn’t making any visible change in sales; the only metric he cared about.
If need to, keep your eyes open for phones that you can use Graphene on - it is the easiest, possibly safest, de-googled operating system. And very easy to install.
I think the issue is Congress enacting a slush fund and then getting mad that the executive is treating it as such.

Congress does have the authority to direct spending, but doesn’t always do so.

Here’s an example appropriation for USAID:

> development assistance

> For necessary expenses to carry out the provisions of sections 103, 105, 106, 214, and sections 251 through 255, and chapter 10 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, $3,000,000,000

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/8771...

If you look at the foreign assistance act it’s extremely broad. That’s how you end up with USAID giving money to AFL-CIO to fund labor movements in Bangladesh. They get three billion dollars to spend however they can creatively fit under the general categories of things like “education.” So what supervisory role has Congress really left itself over that money?
> Trump is the symptom of the disease not the main cause.

To this, we agree. To better understand a why so many are resisting, I encourage you to read up on Yarvin's Dark Enlightenment, then who has associated themselves with that movement. The overlap in the Executive branch and Trump's more outlandish ideas are substantial. Technofascism and neofeudalism are not acceptable solutions.
You clearly never been in California if you think prop 65 warnings have much to do with drains or safety.
I don’t think this requires two halves, although it certainly seems possible that is what is happening.

I believe it only requires that your sensory and post-sensory systems be unpredictably generative when feeding to your subjective sense-making/observer. This could be provided for within a coherent whole brain.

Respect for shipping but for me, this is not something I would ever want to read. It’s not funny and it’s still just headline browsing. If you’re depressed by the news, don’t read it. There are a lot of great books out there, read those instead!
It was pretty clear that GP was talking about the topic of the article in the comments thread about the article.
When's the investigation?
Hey I applied a few weeks back because I strongly felt I would be a good fit, but never got a response back. Does that mean that I was quietly rejected or do you reject candidates with an email rejection? I'm considering applying again because I feel my skills would be great fit here.
When you click OK it lets you in regardless ;)
The only way that the ever-growing risks inherent in being dependent on centralized platforms will ever be addressed is for "non tech people" to start learning about tech.

There is no way to reconcile "I want to trust other people to do things I don't understand but are critically important to me" with "I don't want to allow third parties to have control over things that are critically important to me.

You can neither do it yourself nor hold your fiduciaries accountable without having at least a foundational understanding of how things actually work.
Great idea, but AI is not funny yet :/
Oh, just a sign difference, stop being so exact ;)
The thing is, its not just Meta. It's anyone with a square inch of pixels that you can slap an ad on. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Meta gets a lot of flack, but it's easy to stop using Facebook. It's a lot harder to stop using Google or Amazon.
The fact that a tool can break or that the company manufacturing that tool lies about its abilities, are annoying but do not imply that the tool is useless.

I experience LLM "reasoning" failure several times a day, yet I find them useful.
They virtually didn't ask of anything else: mail, and discriminatory information
One way it could potentially work is for Congress to legislate that large online platforms operate as common carriers and refrain from censoring any legal content. I think this is worth considering. It would create challenges for content moderation but there are ways to deal with that by giving users better tools to filter out objectionable content from their feeds.

Well that and this was a survey of regular consumers, not pedantic programmers who tend to fall into the premature optimization trap. Most consumers don't care about the distinction between an EV and a hybrid. This also wasn't a question about which brand they actually plan to buy from, but it does potentially indicate a willingness to pull back and pick something that is good enough (a hybrid) rather than "perfect" (an EV). It tracks with my own experience too - I have considered Tesla in the past, but a Prius Prime seems like a more sensible choice for what I need.
It’s a very conscious part of sleep. So who knows what’s actually going on elsewhere, and if you ever make it conscious, would it just be an interpretation of this temporary conscious machinery inspecting what was previously running without it with no labels.

It is similar to solving problems. You want most of it to happen in unconsciousness, otherwise it’s too slow.

Things are learned when they are natural, without thought.
I never knew this was an actual "thing."

Like, I've seen these for years. It feels like 5 seconds after I open any given website a "rate us on 1-5" popup shows up right in the middle of the screen. I assumed it was just some thing that's automatically thrown in just to annoy users and has no practical purpose, like the cookie warnings (that are ignored regardless of what you select), the email spam requests (which nobody reads despite what people claim [if someone out there wants to get angry and claim their daily spam emails and annoying popups do good for their business, go ahead {I will laugh at you}]), and the "subscribe/follow us on (social media)" that plague every site these days.

Knowing some manager is thinking this is valuable info and this may decide their job is just hilarious. I used to randomly pick numbers just to dismiss it but now I'm motivated to actively mess with them.
I bought a 3, traded it in for a Y because we had kids, gave the Y to my wife and bought a CT for myself.

A friend of mine got a stone thrown to his head because he was holding hands with someone from the same sex.

He barely survived and today, I think 10 years later, he still suffers from severe migraines and doesn't have movement in half his body.

And I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me. I sometimes also don't believe this happened, that that was just a bad dream. That we actually need laws to prevent people from killing each other just because.
> As JD aptly put it, that’s wrong (...)

That's a mind-numbing stupid take which is rejected by the faintest cursory ancestry analysis of the US population. The 2020 census alone points out that there is as many german americans as English americans, and I'm not seeing racist anti-immigration rants targeting germans. They are the predominant ethnic group in the Northeast and Midwest regions. If not by immigration then how do you explain their presence?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Americans

For a clue, check where Trump's grandfather was from and how he ended up in the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Trump

The total number of european americans don't even reach 40% of the population, which is nothing new.

So if not from immigration then how do you explain that fact?
Yeah we built support for MCP as part of the existing library that contains other LLM related abstractions

What is there to suggest these changes have any positive trait whatsoever? They don't even carry a plausible justification.
$755 billion was forgiven. That is roughly $2.5K per person, assuming US population of 300 million.
But a bot isn't a human. It doesn't have any rights nor even indirect rights like animals do. It's a tool and I don't see anything wrong with tools being clear about what they are. And I especially do not like beokg tricked by a non-human pretending to be human.
I was surprised not to see a follow up on this item
how did you match the images to the news?
I have lived experience dealing with selling software to government agencies. I have observed egregious activity, which to my company's government salesmen, didn't cause them to blink an eye. In one case, the DoD budget ran out of money, but the DoD budget for Disabled Veteran purchasing still had money, so we added 10% to the contract and resold through a disabled veteran's LLC, the taxpayer got screwed, the LLC-owner made a 6 figure fee for doing nothing, and we got paid. This, I was told, was literally nothing compared to what else our salesmen had seen! But I was scandalized as an honest 20-something worker bee.

Such a minor case of course. But this is a microcosm of the entire problem. No one cares, no one is incentivized, no one represents the taxpayer. How does a US politician on a $175k salary become worth $80 million after 30 years in congress? The system is rigged, and the majority of the American people see themselves as suckers and are tired of it.
Because they would have to pay Qualcomm for it.
Holy shit, what a scam...
My three Teslas were the most unreliable cars I have ever owned.
it is why i refuse to use almost all google products. my one exception is gmail, which is impossible to get away from.

i once had google emailing me every single week to bother me about trying out GCP (i used it at work and nearly got certified for that company so i didn't need to scope it out). they offered hundreds or thousands in free credits. well now, you are trying to give me many free dollars, but i have an issue. i couldn't get Google's captcha to work. So i said if you can put me in contact with some person who can help with this very prevalent google product- then i will consider it.

the answer from google is something i will never forget. it was just "we don’t offer support, sorry"

why would i ever give you money? google even sent me a CR-48 for free as a tester, that's how much i used to use them. never again! (except gmail, ugh)
You need experience to preserve and improve a service.

If you want to destroy and sabotage a service, you place incompetent people at the helm.

Even the CIA lists this as a strategy in its sabotage manual.

We are quite lucky that slavery dosen't work out then, but there's nothing to say future innovations won't change the calculus that slavery wins out in opportunity cost compared to other activities. What would you do then?

Besides, the long term incentives for Climate Change or Global Trade Balance or Housing Prices might align, but the short term often dosen't, and greedy very much then can walk down the path to their own destruction. Greed can't solve the Prisoner's Dilllema.
one xor, yes, but on most systems smaller memory footprint is better. there are many more nodes than iterators. so savings can be significant.

another possible optimization is when 'key' fits in pointer or two. which is usually the case.

wonder if r1 or 03 can do it, with the right instructions of course.
> only a full solution. And it's either right or wrong, no probabilities to do a gradient on.

You could use reward functions that do a lot more complicated stuff than "ground_truth == boxed_answer". You could, for example split the "CoT" in paragraphs, and count how many paragraphs match whatever you consider a "good answer" in whatever topic you're trying to improve. You can use embeddings, or fuzzy string matches, or even other LLMs / reward models.

I think math and coding were explored first because they're easier to "score", but you could attempt it with other things as well.
I had pre-ordered a Model 3 way back (ended up not buying it since they didn't come out with the "cheap version" until years later) and was planning to eventually get a Tesla after my ICE car taps out.

Then it first slowly (never criticizing China or Russia), then quickly (making fun of Ukraine, going full MAGA) and eventually full steam (promoting Germany's anti-democratic far right AfD, the salute) it dawned on me that Elon doesn't give a damn about democracy (he is in fact throwing all his weight behind undermining it across the West).

I care a lot about it, even if it may mean slower progress in some aspects (say compared to China); a system for non-violent regime change is a precious, happy accident of history that's worthwhile defending.

Not buying a Tesla is the least I can do.

There's also other text that's reversed:

> A MANDATE WITH TOO LITTLE AUTHORITY DOES NOT PROVIDE THE TOOLS REQUIRED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LEVERAGE

> A MANDATE WITH TOO LITTLE RESPONSIBILITY PROVIDES TOO LITTLE LEVERAGE FOR THE RISKS

There's also other text that can't be read properly because the visible text overlays it, but that starts "A MANDATE WI" and ends with "FORM OF SUICIDE", with some blurred words before it. I imagine it's quite likely that the line is something along the lines of:

> A MANDATE WITH TOO LITTLE ACCOUNTABILITY IS AN INSTANT FORM OF SUICIDE

HippoRAG: Neurobiologically Inspired Long-Term Memory for LLMs (2024)
Yeah, I’m wondering what this even means. I’m assuming they’ll have to define “memory safety” which is already quite the task. Memory safe in what context? On what sort of machine? What sort of OS?
Interesting technical exercise, but why not just read the Onion instead of a computer-generated pastiche of it?

The article talks about how you should choose the right tool for the job, meaning that reasoning and non reasoning models have tradeoffs, and lists a table of criteria for selecting between model classes.
