Batteries are not a grid scale solution.

What we see at grid scale are batteries being used for quick response power while other generators are being spun up. The thing is the grid very much doesn't like it when demand exceeds supply. Systems shut down to protect themselves and you either dump loads very quickly or suffer a cascade failure (see the 1965 blackout--and note that that only stopped growing when the operators were able to dump enough load.)

Since this is in disaster territory the utilities obviously try to avoid it and ensure there's always enough to cope with any surges--which means they must have more stuff spinning than they actually need. Enter facilities like the big batteries: keeping them hot costs almost nothing and they have a very fast response when called upon. This buys the utilities time in which to spin up other generators and thus allows them to operate with less waste.
If by helping anyone you mean helping the math challenged (which is technically almost everyone) then I would be inclined to agree.

But to the quant crowd I’m guessing that couching diffusion in the language of stochastic calculus is helpful.
I don't think the police are "biased against everyone" in the first place. Nobody has said that lawless behaviour by the police is justified in the service of order. What is said is that the police are entitled to use force and have to make quick decisions about the use of force in very trying circumstances on a daily basis. In a country of 330m people full of guns and with highly differential rates of violent crime in different communities, it is not necessarily the case that different rates of police use of force against black people implies police racial bias. It is also not reasonable to tar the entire institution across the entire world just because of a couple of stand-out incidents when those incidents are viewed across the backdrop of the sheer volume of police interactions every day.

So yes, to make it concrete and cut past the bullshit euphemisms, sometimes the police will shoot an "unarmed" black man. Sometimes, very rarely, the so-called "unarmed" person not only doesn't have a gun but doesn't pose a real threat to the life or limb of another person. That sucks. But we cannot get rid of those "type I errors" without curtailing the use of force in a way that produces more "type II errors" in the sense that the police don't use force in a scenario where they should have, and someone gets hurt unnecessarily by someone that should have been disarmed or killed by a policeman earlier.

That is in no sense a defence of those extremely rare cases where a policeman just murders someone and there is no justification or excuse.

It is not unreasonable for them to point out that if they are held to an impossible standard where they get blamed if they don't perfectly protect the public but they also get blamed if they ever have to make a split second decision with limited information, choose to use force, and it turns out not to have been necessary, that that impossible standard is not fair.

None of that has anything to do with "neofascism" or "authoritarianism", which are simply bogeymen invented by the left.

I just wrapped up a test project[0] based on a comment from that post! My takeaway was that there are a lot of steps in the process you can farm out to cheaper, faster ML models.

For example, the slowest part of my pipeline is picture description since I need a LLM for that (and my project needs to run on low-end equipment). Locally I can spin up a tiny LLM and get one-word descriptions in a minute, but anything larger takes like 30. I might be able to only send sections I don't have the hardware to process.

It was a good into to ML models incorporating vision, and video is "just" another image pipeline, so it's been easy to look at e.g. facial recognition groupings like any document section.

I was thinking earlier that a big part of why musk’s team at doge is all kids who would be interns at any real company is that anyone with any real experience would say hell no to the kind of stuff they’re trying to do to production systems in the government. The US government isn’t Twitter and if Twitter goes down for an hour or a year, it’s not a big deal, but one late interest payment on treasury bonds cost the government tens of millions in 1979 and would likely be more like billions if not sparking a major market crash in 2025.

I'm afraid the author has it backwards. This style of writing didn't start as a font from some company.

This is just how you used to be taught to do lettering in a drafting class. The straight lines and simple shapes make it easy to do lettering with pencil or a pen, which is also why all the lines are the same width and all the line caps are rounded.

Later on these turned into stencils, which let users do lettering quickly by tracing the pen inside the stencil - and then turned into fonts for use in print. But all that came later. What we have here is just lettering people learned in drafting classes, and which was later used to make stencils and templates.
Yeah, sadly, people care about convenience and not security. So you get things like this:

and somehow they are still in business, and popular.

If you do care about security, keeping your home-automation within your own control is probably the only sane path. Homeassistant and similar open source things like openhab are pretty good if a bit fiddly, and a wireguard vpn like tailscale a fairly practical way to access it when away from home.
"Envisioning Terabytes Encoded Within a Millimeter-Sized Crystal" because, so far, they have only shown that you can charge and measure a crystal structure with light. What they did not, however, provide any measurements on, is if the resulting excited crystal state is stable and for how long. But that would have been, in my opinion, the key differentiator how this could be more useful than phosphorescence, which is also optical charging and can be measured optically, but is always only temporary.
As someone who's learning how to do OCR in order to re-OCR a bunch of poorly digitized documents, this will not work with modern OCR. Modern OCR is too good.

If you're able to improve the preprocessing and recognition enough, then there's a point at which any post-processing step you do will introduce more errors than it fixes. LLM's are particularly bad as a post-processing step because the errors they introduce are _designed to be plausible_ even when they don't match the original text. This means they can't be caught just by reading the OCR results.

I've only learned this recently, but it's something OCR experts have known for over a decade, including the maintainers of Tesseract. [1]

OCR is already at the point where adding an LLM at the end is counterproductive. The state of the art now is to use an LSTM (also a type of neural network) which directly recognizes the text from the image. This performs shockingly well if trained properly. When it does fail, it fails in ways not easily corrected by LLM's. I've OCR'ed entire pages using Tesseract's new LSTM engine where the only errors were in numbers and abbreviations which an LLM obviously can't fix.

Sprixl: A simplified project management alternative
The difference is how they are presently perceived. I am arguing that shit, fuck, etc are not presently taboo, while other words (slurs) are. Yet American companies treat words like fuck as though they are still widely considered offensive. These companies are out of touch with modern culture; that's my point.

So what is your point? Why do you feel the need to tediously explain that offensive words are a social construct, something obviously understand already because I just got done explaining that the set of taboo words has changed over time?

Ideally zero. Deficit spending is really only excusable when it is being spent on investments that will offset the future cost.

Otherwise it is simply impoverishing future generations to benefit voters today, often enriching a small subset.

By way of example, going into debt get an education or buy a tractor might make sense. Going into debt to throw a party doesn't, especially when you plan to stick the cosigners with it.

In 2024 federal debt interest was 1.1 Trillion, with 4.9 trillion taxes, that is about 22% of revenue. Most of that interest goes into the pocket of wealthy US and foreign lenders.

You can't just turn people off and on again like computers and expect them to carry on as before.

You cut funding for cancer trials people are already enrolled in, people die.

You cut funding for HIV drugs, patients' viral loads go up. Even if you put the funding back before they die, their viruses have already evolved resistance to the drugs they used to be on.

You cut military aid to US allies, those countries learn the US isn't a reliable ally. Soft power centuries in the making evaporates, just like that.

> To this end, Hugenberg practiced what he called Katastrophenpolitk, “the politics of catastrophe,” by which he sought to polarize public opinion and the political parties with incendiary news stories, some of them Fabrikationen—entirely fabricated articles intended to cause confusion and outrage. According to one such story, the government was enslaving German teenagers and selling them to its allies in order to service its war debt. Hugenberg calculated that by hollowing out the political center, political consensus would become impossible and the democratic system would collapse.

The US government can prop up the stock market for a very long time.

The chickens only came to roost in the next administration, but ai suspect they could have kept at it for 10+ years and still kept inflation under 12-15%
“I think most people just never held a magnet against their face.”

I don’t think they comprehend just how strong an MRI is. You don’t need to be inside the machine for it to be the strongest magnetic field you’ve experienced, that’s likely true if you’re in the room nearby. Sure it falls as the square of the distance, but those suckers are big. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLjxhuybFWo

For comparison earths magnetic field is ~50 microtesla vs an MRI at 200,000 to 7,000,000, with 1.5 million microtesla (aka 1.5 T or 15,000 gauss) being common.

If it's unattainable, how can you also embrace the idea that there's a path to attaining it (immerse children in the world of tones)?

Just a head start. The LLM retraining cycle could probably become shorter and shorter over time.
What did you do to get shadow banned?
The strategy still might work.
No, but the relative ease of picking up Zig is lower compared to another language that has a lot of training data (maybe golang could be used for similar projects) in the LLM world. So users might be less reluctant to pick up Zig at all now.

That could slow down adoption of new languages, frameworks, libraries etc.

It is not identical unless the OS uses a new IP for every new outbound connection. I believe that would qualify as a (very) nonstandard configuration.

Indeed, it was tongue in cheek which is why I went on to point out SSO. The reality is most people aren't willing to sacrifice convenience to retain even a shred of privacy.

If you are one of the few who care then you can implement one of the many possible non-standard solutions.

Yea IPv6 folks are indeed against NAT philosophically because it's considered one of the big mistakes of IPv4.

There is a distinction between being publicly addressable and publicly routable. You can have the former without having the latter.

If you want more private addresses, IPv6 has a solution too: use ULAs and not GUAs. Design your internal network so it has mostly ULAs for application servers, database servers and the like, except for the reverse proxy having both publicly accessible GUAs as well as ULAs for talking to the rest of the network.

I personally use ULAs and GUAs concurrently on my network, because I have a residential ISP where my GUA prefix is not fixed.
You can make systems less chaotic with damping, but that's not always good. A damped 3-body problem (orbiting planets under gravity) results in the planets losing momentum until they all smash together. If you have an active control system like for controlling a robot arm, adding damping in the wrong place can make oscillations worse.
You really did expand here, so I’m guessing you’re talking about Cybertrucks order from feds, which is apparently on hold now after it got some publicity:

Why Starship Matters
Ask HN: Mass redirect of naked domains (from non-www to www)
Is it only us? We have tons of domains pointing to our saas, and naked domains are a real pain.

Our saas is in aws, with load balancer with dns that changes in relation to the availability zone, so it works perfectly for CNAMEs, but not for RECORDs A (IP)

Is there a service out there that massivly redirect naked domains to their www version? and handle TLS certificates, too?

We have no problem with domains with NS in aws or cloudflare, of course, due to their ability to set naked domain to a DNS, but many of our customers do not have their NS there.

Or, is there some proxy that automatically handle it (and automatically creates and renew TLS certificates): we know haproxy, but certificates needs a restart of it: Traefik could work, too, but free version has limitations on certificates storage.

The request is for a (reliable/redundant/ HA) service that provide an IP to which our customer will set their naked domain (record A), then any web http or https call to that domain will redirect it to the www version of that domain
Elon's 'Strategy' looks a lot more like consolidating the power of government in the executive branch than actually reducing the size of government. That actually makes government bigger and scarier in my view.

I would now consider if anyone else gets the chance to govern, they should meaningfully reduce the power of the executive branch aggressively in order to avoid this kind of consolidation in the future. But good luck with that and also having a functioning gov't.
