You just shifted from "immigration" to "illegal immigration".

Dual citizenship is as legal as you can get, the AfD opposed it until they realised it meant they could get away with later stripping undesirable people of German citizenship.

Germany decided to accept a million *perfectly legal* asylum seekers in the Syrian crisis, and another million from Ukraine. The AfD opposes it, even as they accept the suffering of Ukranians is real.

Germany is also in the EU, so has, totally lawful, free movement of people from every country they share a border with. The AfD opposes it.

Dumb question, if you fill the monitor/display with rgb(232, 0, 0) would it emit 670nm light or is it not strong enough? Could one benefit from red curtains or wall paper?

For a second I thought this was referring to the other reset bug on Polaris, Vega and Navi. (These apparently have broken Function Level Reset sequences, requiring quite specific reset code as a separate module or a system reboot to bring back to a working state.)

An llm isn't software any more than a matrix is.

Off topic, but just in case: is there a good reference on how people actually use LLMs on a daily basis ? All my attempts so far have been pretty underwhelming:

* when I use chatbots as search engines, I'm very quickly disappointed by obvious hallucinations

* I ended up disabling github copilot because it was just "auto-complete on steroids" at best, and "auto-complete on mushrooms" at worst

* I rarely have use cases where I have to "generate a plausible page of text that statistically looks like the internet" - usually, when I have to write about something, it's to put information that's in my head into other people head

* I'd love to have something that reads all my codebase and draws graphs, explain how things work, etc... But I tried aider/ollama, etc.. and nothing even starts making sense (is that an avenue to persevere in, though ?)

* At once, I tried to write in plain english a situation where a team has to do X tasks, in Y weeks, and I needed a table of who should be working on what for each week. I was impressed that LLMs were able to produce a table - the slight problem was that, of course, the table was completely wrong. Again, is it just bad prompting ?

It's an interesting problem when you don't know if you're just having a solution in search of a problem, or if you're missing something obvious about how to use a tool.

Also, all introductory texts about LLMs go into many details about how they're made (NNs and transformers and large corpuses and lots of electricity etc...) but "what you can do with it" looks like toy examples / simply not what I do."

So, what is the "start from here" about what it can really do ?
I wonder if it was four consecutive hours or if it was four hours in total, spread over several days. This sounds like the kind of project where you spend half a hour after work each day, every day thinking you'd finally be done...
Same here: she wanted to say to her mother "give me that cup back for a minute, I only wanted to look at the interesting pattern that's on it".
Who cares about benchmarks?

These things still cost me time because of hallucinations.
Honestly, I feel the real lesson here is that, if you want accurate estimates, the job needs to be done end-to-end by someone who's done the exact same thing before - and because things change, "before" really means "recently".

If you're not going to be moving houses every couple months, this means passing the buck to someone else. That is, the job needs to be done by some professional installers, because they're in a position to do the same thing day after day, and can gradually adapt to variance and evolution of products (and plumbing, and homes).

Also, and that's a second step, from the POV of those installers, it would be ideal if they could also pick the washing machine for you - they'd just pick pick the minimum amount of machines[0] to cover common scenarios, and specialize in installing them. That would significantly improve accuracy of their estimates.

But this is, unfortunately, how we get to turning everything in life into a service, and it doesn't sit well with me. I'm willing to accept bad estimates if it means I get to pick and own stuff. After all, this is the model ISPs operate on, and we all know what kind of hardware they install. My first criterion for picking ISPs has always been whether they let you put your own router in place of theirs.
Linux doesn't ship a compiler or CPU when you download it. It's not open source I guess.

I had a similar experience when deeply intoxicated, I saw a shadow that reminded me of the texture of the wallpaper in the first home I grew up in -- it unlocked a cascade of memories from my early childhood (I must have been 2) that I never would have been able to recall otherwise. But I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.
Thank you for pointing this out, I was not thinking clearly about this
I was using it on grok.com, logged in via a Twitter account. But I notice it just got added to the Grok tab on Twitter a moment ago.

Also, the "Deep Search" button was not available when it first went live, so I'm retesting everything again with this feature enabled, which I assume is a reasoning version of the same model.

"research is really a gem of social science"

That part sounds true, although I don't think it means what the author thought it meant
Some fact or visual memory is as that, but our memories are also made up of sensory sensations and emotional states, and combinations abound. In fact, a big part of what makes PTSD is a split off different aspects of a remembered event because it’s so difficult to process the whole experience. This takes place after a traumatic event, during attempts at memory consolidation.

Also traumatic memory seems to be stored differently than day to day memory, which helps explain that triggers and flashbacks are valid and real (for traumatized ppl), while the confabulation effect can also exist. Though I’d note that confabulation can happen but that doesn’t mean it “overwrites” the old memory, or that confabulation is in any way more common than just remembering a part or a whole event.

One plane crash is also n=1 for whether the maintenance interval of the element that failed should increase, not n=num_victims, since there's only one aircraft that failed after all. Here, it's one organisation

I'm not asking for data points to do a study into individual companies applying their policies and compiling anecdotal results to do statistical or qualitative tests on all by myself in spare time when there's people being paid to do this properly. I was wondering if someone knew if the evidence has already been compiled and we know the overall effect, rather than stories which are surely plenty on both sides (assuming we agree that racism and other biases are not legitimate selection reasons, thus there being a reason to push against them). The question is: where is the balance? What policy creates the greatest median happiness in the population, all else being equal? This isn't trivial to determine, I can't do that by myself in an afternoon based on a few news reports of individual cases
Well that's one of the wonderful things about saying "one day AI will be able to do x," you don't really need to have any evidence for some segment of the population to believe it's not just plausible but inevitable.
I do have a degree in aeronautical engineering, but I'm not a pilot and don't know a whole lot about flight ops and procedures. Interestingly, I lost my fear of flying once I found out how airplanes were built. I used to know everything there was to know about the 757 stab trim system. It's been a few years, though.

I have no trouble imagining that since the spigot is already connected and sits in a cabinet (visible on the photo), you can't peek inside and it won't occur to you to poke it. Unknown unknown.

I also hate cleaning my spigot for that reason - there just isn't enough wiggle room in the cabinet to put it back leak-free after I unscrew it.

> which is why children tend to get bored much more quickly than adults, because waiting for ten minutes constitutes a much larger percentage of their current experienced life compared to that of an adult's proportion

I think boredom is the brain's hunger more than its watch. It's about the needs of a developing brain, rather than plain time.

Right after the bulk of neurogenesis the brain goes into synaptic pruning where it strengthens some synapses and eliminates others. Developmental pruning is experience dependent and the scale of the process in childhood needs a lot of experiences to fuel it.

Those experiences are literal "food for thought". Building the body takes more food, building the brain takes more experiences.
I know those kind of drills since I bought one at IKEA. It looked more like a slightly beefed-up electric screwdriver and I was surprised you can actually drill into walls it it.

But what I'm baffled is that this kind of stuff is now the standard for "consumer-grade" drills, while the normal ones with power cords are "professional-grade"? When did that happen?
For reference as to how Trump ends something look back at Trump's "negotiation" with the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Taliban got everything they wanted: the US to leave completely and while they did to to not attack the Taliban or obstruct their advances and for the US to no longer support the Afghani government. Trump just agreed with everything to be able to declare US involvement was over.

Trump is purely transactional and in the simplest possible way. There's no long game, no stealth, no soft power, no maneuvering, no geopolitical unity, no building. If there isn't a clear immediate profit from money changing hands or a contract being signed straight away then it's worthless. It's a simple business strategy but applied to vastly more complicated politics and society, not nationally and globally.
From the last page (https://www.phoronix.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx5090-linux...)

> When taking the geo mean across 60+ benchmarks of CUDA / OptiX / OpenCL / Vulkan Compute, the GeForce RTX 5090 was delivering 1.42x the performance of the GeForce RTX 4090. A very nice generational improvement considering many of the Windows reviews yesterday were talking up around ~1.3x the performance when not dealing with DLSS4 or similar tech. The GeForce RTX 5090 was delivering great GPU compute performance whether you are into CUDA, OpenCL, or Vulkan.

> On a performance-per-Watt basis though the GeForce RTX 5090 tended to deliver similar power efficiency to the RTX 4080/4090 graphics cards.
If the aviation industry is one thing, it is stubbornly conservative. Took like until about a year or two ago to finally get unleaded fuel approved for GA piston engines, and most of the piston engine designs in new production are like over half a century old because no one wants to go through the effort to certify any modern engine for aviation...
Is this question in good faith? The way generated code and data should be open sourced is by releasing the tools and configuration used to generate it. There's never been much confusion around this, to my knowledge.

I'm not even necessarily advocating that these things should be released, but the term "open source" has a pretty well-understood meaning that is being equivocated here.
But you trust Google, OpenAI, and whatnot with it?
You must be new to Elon's modus operandi.
The only plausible explanation for the amount of resources poured into these language models is the hope that they somehow become the origin of AGI, which I think is pretty fanciful.

I can feel the cold wind of the next AI winter coming on. It's inevitable. Computers are good at emulating intelligent behavior, people get excited that it's around the corner, and the hype boils over. This isn't the last time this will happen.
i do agree with this
This is why several German automotive OSPOs are working together to build OSS Review Toolkit (ORT) - it kinda glues various open source tools like ScanCode but adds features like the ability to manually correct findings and a policy as code to do risk management at scale/speed. Full disclosure I one ORT maintainers.
Around 2001 I started my journey to becoming a software developer, and the first thing I really wanted to do was get a better understanding of what a computer is and does.

I stumbled upon and Nand2Tetris, and I'll be upfront and say that I found it to be a little dry and I was being honest to myself, it beyond what I was ready for.

However, it was still instrumental to helping me develop my understanding of computers. Instead of following the course normally, I decided to transfer the concepts and lessons learned and created a rudimentary computer in Minecraft. It transferred the project from a n abstract thing I struggled with to a "physical" engineering project that made the CS ideas real and tangible things that could be interacted and experimented with.

I highly recommend it to anyone.

I should like to go back and finish it, both the course and the Minecraft project(I only did part 1).
Well, for example, you referred to my acquaintance's "high salary as a nurse" despite the fact that she doesn't have one. You strongly implied that you believe she is located in the United States, despite the fact that I mentioned her location in China in roughly every other sentence of my comment. Nothing in your comment suggested that you were able to understand any complete sentence from mine.

Was that all an illusion? If so, what image were you trying to present? Why?
A lot of people in this thread have an extremely facile understanding of art, David Lynch, and the capabilities of generative AI, but I look forward to someone returning to this thread in 10 or 100 years or whatever to link me to a convincing example.

Most PVC under sink siffons have a preformed connection point where most people connect the dishwasher's hose.

The ones I encountered had a tapered pipe point for several diameter drains. You saw off to the matching diameter of your hose.

Often you would also put on a flowback protection valve so dirty water from e.g. draining a full sink would not get into to hose of your appliance.
I can watch youtube cookery or world food with no issue, but as soon as someone "real" talks I have a buffer of about 10s before my thoughts come crashing down around me - I think it's the expectation of response, and I can only talk or listen, my verbal output is single threaded and probably running on some old crappy processor with fdiv errors.

> white Jews generally experienced less discrimination compared to black people.

Perhaps. And yet your initial statement would assume that you would want to discriminate against them.

This is more or less exactly what I believe DEI policies would lead to. There are enough people that believe Jews are advantaged but the opposite is mostly true. Still under the metrics DEI generally proposes they would need to be discriminated against.

This is why having the premise to treat everyone equally is the better solution than what DEI proposes. And criticism of DEI is not white supremacy.
Didn’t Jack Ma get disappeared for a few years after mildly criticizing the CCP? It’s bizarre to see Xi now publicly support him. It seems desperate - maybe the state of the Chinese economy is fragile after all?
Good point. If he wasn't around when the sink was installed or at that point never knew that the spigot was important, there's be no reason to have noticed the block.
Even N and (even + odd) N have the same size because there is a 1 to 1 correspondence between the sets. For every even number x in N I can pair it with x/2 which is also in N and that gives me all of N so N must be at least as large as even N. Likewise for x in N I can pair x with 2x and that gives me all the even N, so even N must be at least as large as N. So N and even N must have the same size.

However, while I can pair every rational number up with a real number, if I try to go the other way I find there is no rational number to pair with some (actually infinitely many) real numbers. I picked one, e, to show this. So the real numbers must be strictly larger than the rationals. Because the rationals are a strict subset of the reals it’s simpler than the Even/odd natural numbers because you don’t need the correspondence- every x in Q is in R but there exists at least one x in R not in Q, and no amount of correspondence shenanigans can get around that so |R|>|Q|.

Either Meta did nothing wrong and therefore individuals who pirate ebooks do nothing wrong as well and the concept of piracy should not exist/not be illegal;

Or piracy is actually theft (as it supposedly is when individuals do it) and Meta did millions of counts of it and therefore should pay trillions in damages, be dissolved, have Zuck go to jail, or all three.
You don’t understand the Musk business model. It has been the same for years. His wealth doesn’t come from his products, but from his fanbase buying his stock. The purpose of everything he does is to influence the public opinion to make him the tech genius of today in the collective psyche.

Of course, he needs to do impressive things, stuff that a normal person wouldn’t have the resources to achieve. It’s similar to Mr. Beast’s channel on YouTube, just on a way bigger scale. Do things that people can’t see anywhere else.

Musk’s money will come from his fans. And ETFs, trust funds and such will amplify this when he reaches a certain market cap. His crypto coins are the exact same scheme. Once you stop thinking in classic business school terms, it starts making way more sense.

Some of his ventures actually produce value! But that’s not where the money comes from. It comes from the belief, the adoration and the celebrity status that he has.

This is the real power in today’s world. People need to know you from the screen. This clout catapulted him to the government of the US, made him the most wealthy man in the world and given him the license to do anything he wants publicly without repercussions.
You can’t satisfy everyone, and if you try to, you become the average of all their opinions. Optimally safe, maximally dull.
I think it's interesting to also think about it from the other perspective. If this is someone who is supporting themselves through this work, then what they have to at least charge you is going to depend on how much they need to survive, i.e., buy housing, food, tools, etc. If they get only a few jobs per week, then they kinda have to try to pay their bills off of those jobs. They may also have a spouse, kids, and various others who depend on this income for survival.
A compiled executable is not any less software than the source code. But the point of open source code is not the ability to see the CPU instructions though, is it?

Its about reproducibility and modifiability. Compiled executables (and their licences) lack that. The same as these downloadable blobs.

In my experience that's mostly a function of how good the acoustics are. In a place with a lot of reverb that is definitely what happens.

On the other hand I've been in one or two restaurants with really good acoustics. You could easily have a conversation in those even at the busiest of times. If there's no reverb your voice doesn't bounce all around the room. Your table can hear you perfectly fine, but you're basically inaudible to someone a few tables over. The background noise sounds like a pleasant murmur instead of a loud cacophony.
Yes, but it can also be like EUV.

Not working for years upon years, and suddenly it works, and if it does it can be a huge problem. I don't know if I trust PQC though, but that only means that more research on it is needed.

As a parent I can assure you it was a notable event, or no one would have been there, and they would not have been worried.

There are two answers to this.

Answer 1: Some people think that LLMs are a path to the singularity, a self-improving intelligent program that will vastly exceed human intelligence and will be able to increase its knowledge exponentially, quickly answering all answerable scientific questions.

Answer 2: LLM companies need to keep the hype train rolling. I didn't watch the whole clip; I jumped around a bit, but I noticed that every time Musk interjected something, it was to exaggerate what was previously said. "Grok contains the whole internet"—"the whole of human knowledge, actually!"

I think that both answer 1 and answer 2 apply to Musk. He seems to believe that they're building a god-like entity, and he also needs to keep the money train rolling.
It's not just wild speculation, it's based on the observation that Lynch's style of films all fit a pattern and have certain traits, which is exactly why AI would be able to learn it and imitate it.
