Oh wow that was a journey. As soon as I saw "yew" I started internally screaming.

The route that my kids walk to school took us underneath a large yew tree, and the road underneath is often covered in hundreds of delicious-looking pink berries. Since they were tiny they have had to know all about how yew berries look lovely but even one can kill you. What I didn't ever tell them is how apparently the flesh is actually not toxic and is tasty, and it's the seed that will kill you.
From what I've read, CFM and Boeing committed back in December to making the software fix that's suggested in the video. https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/bird-strike-incident-se...

Why FAA and EASA didn't require any procedure changes in the interim to prevent the issue is a very good question.
There are definitely a fair few companies laying off programmers at the moment, though few of the ones I've seen blamed it on AI (usually more either overhiring, the pandemic ending and usage going down, or someone thinking they can outsource everything to save money). Wouldn't be surprised if a few tried to say it was because of AI when it was really for some other reason though.
Nobody is arguing that you can't buy a luxury yacht or whatever with UNH's profits. It's pretty obvious from the original comment[1] is the argument is that even if all the profits were plowed back into approving more claims, that it would only only increase the approval rate by 5-6%, which is a totally minor amount.

I've been beating the 48v drum for years. Any inefficiency in the 48-to-1 conversion should be mostly offset by higher efficiency in the 240-or-120-to-48 conversion, I suspect it's a wash.

Every PoE device handles 48 without issue on normal PCB processes, so I don't expect that to be a big deal either. They _also_ have a big gap for galvanic isolation but that wouldn't be necessary here.
Yeah, I listened to the audio book and there were some sections where I completely zoned out
Exactly. The recent DRM issue was about who's time would be wasted. Rust is either happening, and they are wasting time by not having proper bindings, or it is not, and all the drivers written were a waste of time. In either case, the discussions around it are already a waste of time.

The Quest to Understand Metric Movements
That's true, and very helpful for family members to understand. They're also often in a suggestible state.

But it's not just full-on delirium; as others have noted, in the elderly even infections can trigger wishful escapades (even as the elderly fail to mount much fever).

And the question remains: how to help the person (delirious or not), particularly when drugs are not effective (and you don't want to drug them into a stupor). It seems unhelpful to agitate them by arguing with them, even if the reality principle is normally the saner option. Do you "go with it"?

My take is that it does help to respond so they know you're there, and really helps to rub feet or back, because body sensation is grounding. But mostly notice how driven you feel to help, or to get involved with managing other helpers, and be very patient with that. Telling the family it's enough for them to be there is often the best thing.
Really now. I think that deserves a bit more explaination, given the cost per token has dropped by several orders of magnitude, we have seen large changes on all benchmarks (including entirely new capabilities), multimodality is now a fact since 4o, test time compute with reasoning models is making big strides since o1.... It seems on the surface a lot is happening. In fact, I wanted to share one of the benchmark overviews, but none include ChatGPT 4 anymore since it is totally not competitive anymore..

I agree. And JSON basically isn't meant to be hand-written, just easy to glance over, if you need to or do basic tests with. It's a serialization format. It's not a config format or anything like that. The idea of wanting to use it for that (when the config needs to be hand-written) should be a red flag for anyone. Why would you want to hand-write something where a key is denoted with double quotes?

And just to be clear: YAML is also not a config format and wasn't meant to be. YAML is for metadata style stuff that is supposed to be close to humans, heck the whole yes/no and "not so strict" typing parts.

If you want a config format you got many options:
There is toml/ini and friends on one side and UCL/HCL/... on the other. Or if you want to go really simple, do something like Postgres, Tor, etc. do and just use space separated strings.
Some cultures weigh the death of a child vs. the death of an old person in a way that makes the latter a much more severe loss, given the unique wisdom accumulated over years. I believe it is the opposite in developed countries today due to lower birth rate and the tendency to preserve inordinate amounts of information arguably making the wisdom of an old person seem mostly useless.
You can derive the latter information (the joint distribution), given the former and a prior over "all pixels"-like data. So, the defining feature of "generative" models is that they feature a prior over their input data?

The whole thing is funny cause the guy who is so vehemently defending Tesla and FSD despite totaling his car, is being targeted by Tesla fanboy accounts for being a fraud. Twitter is really bottom of the barrel garbage.
Calling it attempted murder says a lot about the cops and how they do things does it not? Do the cops have no culpability? Were they not so predisposed to shoot first and ask questions later there would barely be a crime here. It would be on the same order as pushing a bunch of fraudulent paperwork.
And they're probably not real. Take look at any of the clones of the dyson hair dryer and check their proclaimed RPMs, many of them would have the tip of the fan blade spinning at several mach if they actually hit their limit.

There's aquarium heaters on amazon that say they're 10kw or more and plug into a 120 outlet.

>Why I would lie about plugging in your problem into an LLM or solve it is beyond me;

I interpreted it as you saying you solved it without the LLM. Apologies then for the misinterpretation.

Yeah I agree no point in continuing this conversation. We disagree, there's no moving forward from that.
Yeah, understood. I'm excited for the reduction in parameter count that will come when this is taken up in major models.

I meant it rhetorically in reference to interpretability. I don't see a real difference between training a model that is 100b parameters vs a (fixed) 4x recurrent 25b parameter model as far as understanding what the model is `thinking` for the next token prediction task.

You should be able to use the same interpretability tooling for either. It can only `scheme` so much before it outputs the next token no matter if the model is just a fixed size and quite deep, or recurrent.
Then why do the rodents only eat wires on new vehicles? This is a recent phenomenon, like within the last ~15yr of vehicle manufacturing. Cars and equipment older than that don't get their wires chewed up.

> The Rust Project says R4L is a “flagship” goal

Rust's 2024H2 and 2025H1 flagship goals are about getting Rust for Linux into stable Rust, implementing features we need and so on. We really appreciate being a flagship goal of theirs! We collaborate regularly, and some members are part of both projects, and so on and so forth.

But that does not mean one is driven by the other, just like GCC and Clang do not drive the Linux kernel because they introduced features to build it. They support us, which is different.

> Also, didn’t the author of this updated doc (Miguel Ojeda[1]) resign from R4L? I’m not sure what his role is here.

I wrote the document, but I never resigned since I started the project -- you are probably referring to Wedson. I have seen articles that confused both of us in the past, so that is not a surprise, though I wouldn't mind to have Wedson's mind around from time to time :)

The FOSDEM 2025 keynote has some details about the history of the project. There is an LWN article about it: https://lwn.net/Articles/1007921/

I hope that clarifies.
I am skeptical. Intuitively I don't see what self-play achieves beyond straight RL. Have the authors done a comparison with the performance they can get by RL finetuning a single model by itself?

Also this style of tasks is prone to overfitting. i.e. instead of predicting, the model just memorises what the results are.
it's a 1.5b model. You should not expect too much outside the area it was optimized on.

I take the preservation of humanity, along with other life, as a matter of faith.
They do not, as you can see from the fact that 375 people were not in fact killed.
In both cases it looks more like a usage spike in the third month and then back to a pattern of roughly linear growth. Not sure if those spikes were related to updates to the neuralink itself or they just got really into a game/project/etc

> They also illustrate the evolution of this

One of my pet-peeves: Certain science fiction writers (often amateur) posit that humans will greatly impress aliens with our willingness--no, zeal--to consume capsaicin, a terrible death substance all sentient races flee from etc.

This is nonsense since it's basically an narrowly targeted false-alarm trick between relatively closely related creatures. It's not acidic, caustic, corrosive, etc.

> this protein

Just to head off the ambiguous phrasing here: Capsaicin itself is not a protein, but a much simpler kind of chemical.

IIRC at the last PC trade show (the one in Taipei) one of the GPU+Motherboard makers was showing a prototype system where the PCIe slot had an additional slot behind it just for power, so no cables were required. Of course then that additional power needs to get into (and flow across) the motherboard somehow.
It's wild how the internet rabble talking points were for so long about "snowflakes" and terms used, and by their definition the current administration seems to be that in spades.
If I had to do hybrid, I would MUCH rather 1 week per month than 1 day per week, even though it would technically be more time spent in the office. And I would much rather 3 months per year than 1 week per month, assuming corp subsidizes a hotel room like all business travel. Both of those alternative schedules allow me to move out of my employer's expensive location which to me is the number one selling point of remote work. 1 day per week means I still have to live there.

And most companies vastly overestimate their data, and believe it to be "big", when it could be trivially handled decades ago by server-grade hardware.

I've been out of live neural recordings for about 3 years. While this is neat, it's my recollection that this is dated science...with better PR.
That's a pretty weak response to "why isn't your product with Open in the name open-source yet." They don't need to provide documentation or accept code contributions at all in order to release the source code they're working on.

That kind of logic gives me the impression they may not ever open-source it if they get successful enough to sell it somehow (and, if it flops, it's a coin-flip as to whether or not they get around to open-sourcing it before it disappears).

> The electrician should be installing 20 amp sockets if the cabling can support it, but many don't.

I think this is mainly because the 20 amp outlets are kind of ugly, and the fact that barely anything actually uses a 20 amp plug.

In my house, almost every circuit has a 20 amp breaker and 12 ga (yellow) romex, but only a couple of outlets are 5-20.
Walmart is amazingly efficient and basically the case for how economies of scale benefit the consumer. If you broke it up, prices would go up, not down.

Walton's do great because of the scale, but is a very lean and efficient organization. Take them entirely out of the picture and the consumer would hardly notice.
This is an interesting opinion, but there are aspects of it that I doubt will stand the test of time.

One aspect is the court’s ruling that West’s headnotes are copyrightable even when they merely quote a court opinion verbatim, because the editorial decision to quote the material itself shows a “creative spark”. It really isn’t workable — in law specifically - for copyright to attach to the mere selection of a quote from a case to represent that case’s holding on an issue. After all, we would expect many lawyers analyzing the case independently to converge on the same quotes!

The key fact underlying all of this, I think, is that when Ross paid human annotators to write their own versions of the headnotes, they really did crib from West’s wholesale rather than doing their own independent analysis. Source text was paraphrased using curiously similar language to West’s paraphrasing. That, plus the fact that Ross was a directly competing product, is what I see as really driving this decision.

The case has very little to say about the more commonly posed question of whether copyright is infringed in large-scale language modeling.
Are yew rare where you are? Here in Ireland (and also in Britain), they're traditionally found in churchyards (where grazing livestock cannot get at them) and are well known to be poisonous. (Agatha Christie used yew as a poison in one of her novels.)
Not sure why you picked up downvotes on this comment because I think you’re right. 5 ms is not at all a lot of latency. I think even very exacting professional musicians would be hard pressed to detect it. At 128 samples and using the Push 3 as an audio interface on my M1, round trip latency is 13 ms, and even that is not a frustrating amount of latency.
Main reasons are a stable geology and climate, access to reliable water via the salt river project that was designated for industrial use, and the historical semiconductor presence that is already in the area. The local universities also have a strong focus on tech.

The title of this discussion thread reminded me of this:

''I have a tumour that's growing in my brain stem and it's pressing on collections of neurons that make me feel elated. I'm lucky. Half an inch over and maybe I'd be depressed about it all. But actually I feel fine. And when I die, when it kills me, those same neurons are gonna fail. And in failing, they're gonna put on my own private light show and I'm gonna fade into the light until I'm all gone and everything's just whiteness and silence.''

-- Robert, a psychologist facing his end days in UK TV drama Afterlife, series 2, episode 7, 2006.

I copied that passage down years ago because I hope some day if I need help remaining stoic it will be there if I am aware. If not, they can find it in my collected notes.

I'm not so sure it's impressive even for mathematical tasks.

When ChatGPT came out, there was a flood of fine-tuned LLMs claiming ChatGPT-level performance for a fraction of the size. Every single time this happened, it was misleading.

These LLMs were able to score higher than ChatGPT because they took a narrow set of benchmarks and fine-tuned for those benchmarks. It's not difficult to fine-tune an LLM for a few benchmarks, cheaply and beat a SOTA generalist LLM at that benchmark. Comparing a generalist LLM to a specialist LLM is like comparing apples to oranges. What you want is to compare specialist LLMs to other specialist LLMs.

It would have been much more interesting and valuable if that was done here. Instead, we have a clickbait, misleading headline and no comparisons to math specialized LLMs which certainly should have been performed.

> Not sure if that is what you meant by IP here.

By IP I meant intellectual property. I was wondering how much designs or specific hardware developments that were essential for the performance boost (or: energy efficiency of chips, compute/W) as observed with the Apple M family of designs are locked down by patents.
> Originally, I wanted to eliminate the time limit and let the player simply roll the katamari to make it bigger. But, I couldn't figure out how to make the game fun without a time limit

Better level design (than in the original Katamari Damacy) is the answer. See Carmageddon as an example. Despite having a time limit and technically being in a race against other drivers, you can just go off course and explore the level, picking time bonuses as you do that. It's fun because the levels are full of secret areas and there's always something to explore. The other drivers are just dumb enough to not be a problem, and will also go off course if you do. Or you can play it as a racing game and ignore all that, no problem.

Discussion (52 points, 22 hours ago, 34 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43007564
I learned this lesson the hard way with my early 2000s BMW 5 Series (a 2004 model). It had a single joystick-style knob (iDrive, if I remember correctly) controlling a screen that handled everything—climate, settings, and more. The problem? It was an all-in-one system, completely integrated with vehicle functions, which meant you couldn’t swap it out for a newer or better OEM system. You were stuck with aging tech, and once the screen or computer started acting up, there were no simple fixes. No cheap button replacement, no easy upgrades.

Compare that to an old LandCruiser or similar vehicle from the ’80s. Physical controls still work decades later, and worst-case scenario, you replace a button or a switch for pocket change. Meanwhile, modern cars are turning into disposable tech products, destined for obsolescence the moment their proprietary systems fail. It's for this reason when I bought a new car a couple of years ago, I opted for a Toyota LandCruiser, the use of physical buttons (despite coming with touchscreens now) makes a huge difference when you're driving and want to press a button to change music or turn the volume up/down.
Our product is affected by this bug. It isn't that the content of the textarea is saved with the autofill so then replaces the content. The content stays as the value in the box but the value gets truncated and the textarea element no longer functions correctly. Autocomplete="off" on the textarea does not resolve the issue.

I have posted the report that I found when trying to figure out what the heck was going on. However, I have reported the issue through the Microsoft Edge feedback tool with my own example.
