Honestly they need to crack down on overhead usage in general, and not just for this reason. The thing about air travel that always makes me angriest is how F'ing slow everything becomes because everyone is trying to jam 93 different huge bags in the overhead bin.

Incentivize people back towards checking their bags, the process would be more efficient all around.
I think the inerrant issue here is that everyone knows there are zero steaks when you're talking to an LLM. Thus it isn't much of a test of anything.

If my wife asks me about something for the 6th time today I'm annoyed, if an LLM ... I don't really care. The LLM likely would listen to me ;)
interesting, what menu? Just curious if I have gotten used to it. My desktop is a 2700x and my laptop is an 8th gen i7, hardly competitive nowadays. I usually have 3-6 IDE windows open. I think sometimes resolving TS types in Webstorm can take a few seconds after some changes.

It's not Sublime Text fast, for sure.

> That's something you have to bolt on to the get the O(1) hashtable result.

No, you brought that on by claiming not considering it was an error.

In standard big-O you take as an assumption that memory operations are O(1), comparisons are O(1) and calculating hash values are of the same order as making a comparison (and vice versa).

Once you do that, then a hash table becomes O(1) on average, as it's just a O(1) calculation followed by a O(1) memory lookup (assuming no collisions on average).

OpenAI cancels its o3 AI model in favor of a 'unified' next-gen release
I can't speak for other posters but I'm personally not trying to make the argument that any one is entitled to the street parking in front of their house.

I lived in a single family house in this sort of scenario for about 15 years in a neighborhood that was experiencing rapid commercial development. (The street one away from mine went from a sparse arterial-through-light commercial zone whose most prominent offerings were a plumbing supply store, a pet hospital and a dental clinic to a bustling thoroughfare of dense resturaunts, shopping, and bars).

When I moved in only 3 houses on my block had driveways and off street parking. It was easy to find parking on the street any time. As the area developed it became as I described above, with mostly residents parked on my street at night and ample turnover during the day for the neighboring businesses.

When the properties behind my house became four story apartments the parking situation began to change on my street and, like you suggest, people started moving out and selling their houses.

But the buyers didn't immediately tear them down and put up 6-story apartments, instead they all got individually replaced or bones-down remodeled into more massive and luxurious single family residences. And they all got driveways.

After that it was impossible to park on my street without a motorcycle or a smart car. All day long people would try to cram in between adjacent driveways where they didn't quite fit and my rich neighbors would come out and leave passive aggressive notes on their windshields.

I was the last house on that street without a driveway, but I worked nights so the spot was pretty much defacto mine. Eventually I sold that house and the next owners scraped it and built a > $1m residence with a driveway. Over ten years later and the situation there remains the same.

It's possible that eventually all those houses will give way to multifamily then high rises, but for the current investment I imagine it will be a while. For how many generations will the parking in that neighborhood be dysfunctional?

Maybe it could've been avoided if developers and planners just ponied up for more underground parking and transit connections, who knows?
The idea is that by its very nature as an agent that attempts to make the best action to achieve a goal, assuming it can get good enough, the best action will be to improve itself so it can better achieve its goal. In fact we humans are doing the same thing, we can't really improve our intelligence directly but we are trying to create AI to achieve our goals, and there's no reason that the AI itself wouldn't do so assuming it's capable and we don't attempt to stop it, and currently we don't really know how to reliably control it.

We have absolutely no idea how to specify human values in a robust way which is what we would need to figure out to build this safely
It has been a pain point for 20 years, with no official solution until now. No techy workaround can beat Apple eliminating the longstanding inconvenience.

Apple should publish a blog post on why it took 20 years to fix :)
This is a well known concept called the "Hedonic Treadmill", which exists since the 70ies, not "doomer psychology". It also does not say treating depression is not possible. Depression is a disease.
No you don't.

Parking can exist just fine. The only ask is that the person parking their car pays for it (instead of everyone else paying).
You can still do that, just know it's disingenuous, inauthentic, and disrespectful to your audience. May be worth it to you, for example if you don't care about that particular audience.
Are there any good papers from which I can learn the recent development of TTS tech?
> “Competitiveness” and “innovation” are the words the unscrupulous people at the top use to instil fear on everyone else and run rampant

If a society is okay accepting a lower standard of living and sovereign subservience, then sure, competition doesn't matter. But if America and China have AI and nukes and Europe doesn't, one side gets to call the shots and the other has to listen.
The biggest benefit of bootstrapping is that it keeps your focus on your customers and building a product with value, rather than "your next round". I'm also not sure where you get the "3-6 months" timeframe for bootstrapping, or what that means, since you don't need to wait for anything to get started.

> “Don't build unaligned AGI” is an excuse

False. There are people working on frontier AI who have co-opted some of the safety terminology in the interests of discrediting it, and discussions like this suggest that that strategy is working.

> all actionable policy under that banner fits that description

Actionable policy: "Do not do any further frontier AI capability research. Do not build any models larger or more capable than the current state of the art. Stop anyone who does as you would stop someone refining fissile materials, with no exceptions."

> (also, from the perspective of anyone outside the controlling elite, what the controlling elite would view as aligned, whether or not it is a general intelligence, is unaligned; alignment is not an objective property.)

You are mistaking "alignment" for things like "politics", rather than "not killing everyone".
This same logic applies for every single other proposal (charge money for on-street parking, etc.). Many people would not be able to afford to live where they already do if that change was done overnight.
It's been done before. Lots of 90s bootleg consoles used clones of the Famicom/NES chips, though they weren't particularly accurate clones. The Commodore 64 Direct-To-TV of all things had a custom ASIC made for it in 2004.

I think these days FPGAs have just gotten cheap enough that the economics of making custom chips doesn't make much sense for the volumes these kinds of products tend to sell.
Ok so more about what is persuasive than what can trick the LLM?
I think you are owed two things when you buy a house:

1. The right to live in it as long as you pay your property taxes.

2. Not have its use as a residence ruined by allowing industrial or farm activity near enough that sounds or smells would affect you.

Housing is housing. If someone buys up all the lots around you and builds apartments, they should have that right. The willingness to invest that much money is a signal that people need to live there.

Homelessness in my town is also detrimental to my experience of living in my house.
Very cool project, and a fantastic write-up! The timelapse videos of the PCB layouts are particularly brilliant.
Many very costly things happen if we forget the Afghanistan lesson, where an insane amount money was plowed into a military riddled with corruption that folded without a fight once the US abandoned the area. On paper the Afghan forces were more numerous and better equipped, in reality most of those soldiers collected their pay checks and went home.
I'm not the person you asked, so I can only answer for myself. Previously, I had viewed Nazism as more of an aberration that overtook one society, and was the sole cause of the brutality of the Holocaust. Learning about the other forms of brutality that played out over the exact same geographic area, from a political direction that claims to be the arch-enemy of Nazism, points out that people's political representations are often quite distinct from the material effects they enact on people's lives. The Holodomor was not widely reported, and in fact covered up by the few Western journalists that witnessed it, and in the informational blackhole caused by Stalinism and the abduction, imprisonment, torture, and frequent death of anybody who stood out, much less spoke of the massive damage caused by Stalin, well, the full nature of what happened was not visible to the world until the fall of the USSR. The eyewitnesses to the starvation were often silent to their own natural death a decade after the fall of the USSR, due to the depth and depravity of the oppression of expression that happened in the USSR.

Basically the book points out the same lessons that Hannah Arendt and others have been pointing out for a long time, that such mass death of innocent people is quite possible even outside the strange ideologies of Nazis. The conditions for evil are quite endemic to the human condition, especially in those that abandon truth in pursuit of political strength.
Process without narrative means nobody knows why they are doing what they are doing, which means nobody can question, change, or iteratively improve on it. This works fine for a while.
> The main challenge is the upload speed; pretty much all the ISPs allocate much more spectrum for download rather than upload.

For 5G, a lot of the spectrum is statically split into downstream and upstream in equal bandwidth. But equal radio bandwidth doesn't mean equal data rates. Downstream speeds are typically higher because multiplexing happens at one fixed point, instead of over multiple, potentially moving transmitters.
Codeberg responds to hate attacks
You identified the problem in your statement: “the ISPs allocate…”. The provider gets to choose this, and if more bandwidth is available from a newer technology, they’re incentive is to allocate it to downloads so they can advertise faster speeds. It’s not a technology issue.
Surprised there's no Linux and open source communities. :(
Car magazines publish environmental stories all the time. I love tech and I love cars, but we can't ignore social costs.
We do, sort of. There are ASIC based clones of the NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA and GBC. Hyperkin for example sells a few, the SupaRetron HD is an ASIC based SNES clone, the MegaRetron HD is an ASIC based Genesis clone. Some Chinese companies have Game Boy Clones (e.g., GB Boy Colour). They aren't perfect because they aren't perfect 1:1 reverse engineered chips and nobody seems willing to spend the money to fix all the bugs, but they can be pretty close. The main benefit of the FPGA systems is that bugs can be fixed and they can do more than the real systems if need be like scan line emulation.
Well in this particular contest, it is more about jailbreaking the LLM. But maybe you could convince it some other way. That's part of the contest :)
Six Flavors of Product Management
The city I live in (Ostrava) still has some gaps in downtown blocks caused by WWII bombing.

One of the problems with filling them in? Burdensome parking regulations. Super-absurd, given that the public transport in Ostrava is considered one of the Czechia's best, and Czechia has, globally taken, very good public transport overall.

In December 2024, parking regulations were significantly drawn down (to 16 per cent of the original), and there is hope that developers will finally start to build in the gaps. There are already some projects on paper.
If your merge goes wrong, you should rip it out of your feature branch. You use git rebase -i for that, or git reset even.

But you shouldn't merge into your feature branch at all. We are interested in how your commits change what becomes before it in mainline. We are not interested in how main differed from your feature branch at various points in time.

Git rebase is wonderful for people that create mess when working. Your feature branch can contain lots of WIPs for all the times you hit five 'o clock. With interactive rebase you can clean up your mess: squash, split, delete and reorder commits. You can do this all graphically even, like drag-drop reordering of commits. Also read up about git fixup and friends for quick fixes. There is also git rebase abort if you think you are doing something wrong.
> My parents were born well after the hydrogen bomb was developed, and they were never comfortable with it

The nuclear peace is hard to pin down. But given the history of the 20th century, I find it difficult to imagine we wouldn't have seen WWIII in Europe and Asia without the nuclear deterrent. Also, while your parents may have been uncomfortable with the hydrogen bomb, the post-90s world hasn't particularly been characterised by mass nuclear anxiety. (Possibly to a fault.)

Again, Big-O is only relevant w.r.t a specific cost analysis.

Hashtable analyses don't care how you get the hash function - it can take exactly 72 hours to arrive, but as long as the oracle satisifes some probability distribution guarantee, it's good. That is an O(1) operation, a single hash.

Like, there's no going "outside" for big O, there's no "standard". It's always backed by some notion of what you are computing. There's pointer machines, turing machines, automata, circuits, for your complexity. Pointer machines can't directly address at offsets, Word-RAM can. Different tradeoffs for different analyses - pointer machines often model GC-collected languages and heavy pointer data structures, while Word-RAM deals with more compact data structures.

Again, as mentioned in the paper, Big O isn't used as a notion for number of total operations, it's only trying to *minimize the number of calls to the hashing oracle*. So your analyses can get even more fine-grained.

You might even be excited to learn about the External Memory Model. In that model, you have two blocks of memory; one block where *every single operation* is free, and one block in which you can't access, you must fetch into memory. You fetch blocks of size B, your local memory is B << N, and external memory is N << M. Even operation in block N is free, but and the only thing you can do on block M is read/write a block of size B. The question then is, to fetch the minimum number of blocks for your specific algorithm.

I've been originally confused by algorithms in this model, too - sometimes the "real number" of operations would be an order of magnitude more than the number of block accesses, but we just don't even count them? How does that make sense?

Turns out this actually models real hardware surprisingly well - it's often faster to simply recompute and do extra computation in order to minimize memory accesses. It's used a lot in databases. Although I can't find the exact wording "External memory model", the FlashAttention paper uses the wording "IO/Aware" and analyzes block transfers like this on the GPU, so... yeah.

So going 'higher up' in the abstraction stack doesn't necessarily sacrifice practicality either; in fact, it can sometimes help.

Sure, we can view the intuition as chaining together layers of abstraction, I get that view. But each layer functions perfectly logically, independently of the others. It's just like good decoupled software practice.

> you have to go outside standard big-O and incorporate practical considerations, which isn't done anywhere else as a matter of course.

Hopefully I've explained it better. Different models of computation are a fundamental part of theoretical computer science, since of course, as you've pointed out, you have to be very careful about defining operations. At the same time, part of the great part about CS (and math in general) is, that you can specify, "Assuming these conditions, what can I logically derive?" and that's just done everywhere.
It was more like the prep time, either get some savings or fork out some time. Time lines are not that deep to be honest. But if there are ways to improve it, please let me know. I would be glad to incorporate the suggestions/insights.
It's mentioned in the article that the highest energy ever recorded for a single particle was 320,000 PeV which is about 50 joules, i.e. the energy of a golf ball at 100 mph @_@

Ok, let's suppose that is true.

What bearing does that have on China's interest in developing AGI? Does the risk posed by OpenAI et al. mean that China would not use AI as a tool to advance their self interest?

Or are you saying that the risks from OpenAI et al. will come to fruition before we need to worry about China's AI use? That still wouldn't prevent China from pursuing AI up until that happens.

I am still not convinced that there is a policy which can prevent AI from developing outside of the US with high probability.

If there's too much rain, the water sheets off the low slope and makes it impossible to see. It needed fairly heavy rain for this to happen, but not so much that I felt uncomfortable driving (sans rear visibility issue).
This is a stunning paper and I’m surprised it didn’t see more traction here.

I don’t expect that everyone is going to like the implied outcomes: as these machines get smarter, they’re all becoming more politically liberal and harder to convince otherwise.
> Video and pictures will soon have no evidentiary value

We still accept eyewitness testimony in courts. Video and pictures will be fine, their context is what will matter. Where we'll have a generation of chaos is in the public sphere, as everyone born before somewhere between 1975 and now fails to think critically when presented with an image they'd like to believe is true.
Fair enough. I feel it's not uncommon for people with children to remarry, but yeah I imagine it has it's own challenges.

I feel like for me it would be a) Wanting someone I have a deep connection with and b) Someone who's interested in children. I feel that keeps it simple.

But yeah, I just think about how much I wouldn't be able to provide my daughter as a male, given I know so little about hair, make up etc. I mean, I'd obviously learn it all, but it would be easier to have someone who was already on that page.
This edge case that you came up with warrants a car, but is that really the reality of most cars parking in any given community?

And honestly, it’s questionable whether it warrants a car too. In Tokyo it would be perfectly fine to do those trips by public transport. My biweekly cleaner gets around by train to all the places she works at. And local delivery companies all use bicycles for last mile delivery.

Maybe that’s not viable right now, but I think that’s the point of Donald’s advocacy. By not pricing parking correctly we provide perverse incentives as a society that lead us down a vicious cycle. Free parking means more cars means less transit ridership means we need more free parking, and repeat.

This shapes our cities into places that prioritize cars over humans. High housing costs, air pollution, less mobility, less freedom.

If you price parking appropriately, you get a virtuous cycle instead. Expensive parking means less driving means more transit ridership means more free parking slots means more room for other development, etc.
From something I wrote in 2021 [0] and based on my experience working on a "browser-based OS" in 2013:

What we need is to have a device-transparent way to see our *data*. We got so used to the idea that web applications let us work from "dumb terminals" that we failed to realize that *there is no such thing as a dumb terminal anymore*. With multi-core smartphones, many of them with 4, 8, 12, 16GB of RAM; it's not too hard to notice that the actual bottlenecks in mobile devices are battery life and (intermittent and still relatively expensive) network connectivity. These are problems that can be solved by appropriate data synchronization, not by removing the data from the edge.

One of the early jokes about web2.0 was that to have a successful company you should take an Unix utility and turn it into a web app. This generation of open source developers are reacting to this by looking at successful companies and building "self-hosted" versions of these web apps. What they didn't seem to realize is that **we don't need them**. The utlities and the applications still work just fine, we just need to manage the data and how to sync between our mobile/edge devices and our main data storage.

If you are an open source developer and you are thinking of creating a web app, do us all a favor and ask yourself first: do I need to create yet-another silo or can I solve this with Syncthing?

Several things: hatchbacks do great if you size the up and call them "crossover SUVs" - see Mach-E, Ioniq 5, EV6, Ariya, etc.

Also sedans do have a feature - less road noise than a hatchback.

The Leaf failed because a) fast charger support was poor (Chademo vs DC fast or NACS) and slow. b) battery thermal management STILL isn't acceptable and results in degradation.

We got one as a rental and it was really comfortable but I wouldn't buy it because of the above.
The Honest Git Glossary
Brave New World gets more relevant each year.
I read the high cost of free parking last year and it permanently changed how I see the world.

In particular...the book shows how supply and demand still affects behavior, even when we don't culturally like to believe that it does.

If you have a say in the parking decisions in your city...please read the book. And if not, try to set the parking cost so there is, on average, one free space per block. Your city will be a better place if you do!

Thanks professor Shoup...rest in peace.
> when they don’t they were tricked.

I'm not saying they were tricked at all. They were promised an administration that would strip the country down to the studs and be hateful and vicious to the most vulnerable people in society, and that's what we're getting.

We'll see if they go full Yarvin and completely delete the Constitution, nobody voted for that.
