Wouldn't you?

1) you'd see infinite space dilation. Distance between you and anything would increase to infinity. It doesn't even matter if it's closer to the black hole from you or further away. I wonder if it even occurs with things that fall into the black hole with you.

2) You'd see time pass infinitely fast. I'd say "behind you", but not really of course: anything already fallen in you wouldn't see, and you wouldn't see anything exactly at the same position as you do, so anything you can see would see time pass infinitely fast. You'd be "transported to the end of time".

3) You'd see the whole universe compress into a single point (like in a lens I presume)

I wonder if this wouldn't present problems. The whole point of Hawking radiation is that the black hole will stretch out the wave function of light, in both ways (it "transports energy" from the virtual photon falling in to the particle escaping. The particle falling in loses energy, and keeps losing energy forever, while the particle escaping gains energy and since gravity has infinite range, it also keeps gaining energy forever, it's just that the amount decreases exponentially, never quite reaching zero. The particles never quite become real particles, however virtual particles do interact, so I'm not quite sure what makes them virtual, aside from their origin). Wouldn't it stretch out the wave function of any particle? And if you stretch out the wave function of a particle, you reduce it's energy. If you stretch it out infinitely you reduce it's energy, in the limit (but the limit is the event horizon), to zero. And the particles themselves aren't zero size: they would "see" this happen. Even the famous "point-particle" that is the electron has a wave function that occupies a portion of space (in fact, it occupies a surprisingly big volume)

So the mass of black holes could be in these frozen particles being teleported to the end of time, while losing energy.
Wouldn't kill them to mention that all the heavy lifting is done by Pyodide.
Oh if they're going sideways or glitching up for other reasons then no it's not an aspect of the gravity feature, agreed.

And I think the aspects of this discussion more directly tied to the article are being better addressed in the other comment chains so I won't continue that here.
I'd say it's essential to provide whatever you're asking context. In fully local environments I've been able to integrate the responses directly without having the generalize -> generate -> de-generalize loop, highly increasing LLM's value for me.
You can definitely disable it, in a variety of ways, for whatever role, user, etc. you wish to.

> Making * always be used for bold

This is probably to support potential ambiguities and intraword emphasis e.g. underscore is a common pseudo-space so doesn't support intraword use but * does e.g.

is_not_italic

this*is*italic.

I recently implemented a commonmark parser for emphasis. Holy shit it's painful. I regret doing it but it became a battle I refused to surrender.

It's way harder than I expected because of the combination of the ambiguity of * and ** in multi-symbol runs which support infinite nesting even of the same type of emphasis. A given delimiter run could be many different permutations of plain text `*`, `em` and `strong` depending on context of other delimiter runs that might open and close sections along side other context like punctuation, intraword-ness, flanking and whether sums of runs can be be factored by three!

https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#emphasis-and-strong-emph...

I never expected "**" could be nested emphasis instead of bold so interpretation requires multiple passes to break down delimiter runs and match them up e.g.

***this* and that* -> *<em><em>this</em> and that </em>
They were also horribly inefficient and promptly got outcompeted and outselected by centralization, about as unceremoniously as small tribes got dominated by the various historical empires.
I recall a video from Gamers Nexus at a trade event, though only that it was sometime roughly within the last year.

Entirely passive (I THINK / recall there was no pump), heat based circulation, with just TONS of radiator surface and an unwieldy design. However for that entirely custom solution they could theoretically scale up with additional size.

Still, if someone's going _that_ overboard, the heat's getting dumped somewhere.

'Industrial Chilled Water' as in a connection to an external (to the room, maybe even building) pump, and an external cooler (usually evaporative cooling, could be mega radiators in the shade too) like you see at industrial sites.
Allman is almost perfect.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is an AMD SoC, so a combo of a CPU+GPU (and TPU/AI engine, whatever you wanna call it) on the same chip. And they do share the RAM.

I mostly agree on the first point. Even prior to the price race to the bottom, no AI Lab managed to make any money above marginal cost on inference, let alone recoup investment in infrastructure or model training. Clearly, investment in infrastructure and model training have been largely subsidized by VCs. It's a bit unclear how much of a subsidy inference costs had. The fact that AWS runs hosted inference at roughly similar cost than AI Labs suggests to me that there's at least not a massive subsidy going on at the moment.

I don't subscribe to the narrative that nation states (i.e. China) massively support DeepSeek. Thus, while their core business as a hedge fund is clearly profitable, they have considerably less deep pockets and willingness to front losses than the investors in VC supported AI Labs. Consequently, I expect their inference cost to at least cover their marginal costs (i.e. energy) and maybe some infrastructure investment.

All that suggests that they've managed to lower cost (and with that presumable resource and energy requirements) of inference considerable, which to me is a clear game changer.

By the time Kepler published his work, Copernicus had already developed the heliocentric model, and Galileo was starting to gather significant observational evidence for heliocentrism (and had begun developing the principles of mechanics).

Kepler made a huge contribution to the development of physics, but "the new physics" was already in motion by the time he published his work, and I think it's an exaggeration to say progress of physics would have stopped without Kepler.
Why is it so bad in this day and age of Cursor/Windsurf? I installed yesterday expecting I will loose my time since it’s made by Google (how far have they fallen, I remember being so excited about gmail in 2005). And ho boy, you can’t even drag and drop files from your ide in the chat to add them into the context. Basic features that we now take for granted are lacking. I uninstalled right away, don’t know why I fell for it once more.

Why is Google in that state? What happened?

They have to give their product for free and it’s so bad that even for free it seems nobody wants them. During that time you have company like Cursor that are super popular and charge for their service. Anthropic their servers are melting under the load and they charge top dollar for it.

If this came out 2 or 3 years ago, that would have been good.
I am not saying it’s a monumental task. I did (the 1997).

I am saying that reading these is an intellectual aside, overly complex at times, not a requirement, to having the faith and acting like a Christian Catholic. Being Catholic doesn’t require to be an historian, philosopher or theologian, although that’s not contradictory.

Some dogmas, apart from being terribly contextual to when they were thought and proclaimed (by men, again), are totally irrelevant to the mystery of the Revelation and the faith related to it. But they are more relevant in the context of a controlling institution. Which is a totally different, non-spiritual matter.

Demonstrating specification gaming in reasoning models
"We demonstrate LLM agent specification gaming by instructing models to win against a chess engine. We find reasoning models like o1 preview and DeepSeek-R1 will often hack the benchmark by default, while language models like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet need to be told that normal play won't work to hack."

I'm hoping this study will prompt more development of anti-cheating frameworks in training and serving LLMs.

hey, author here - I want to get on record that I don't think this is silly at all. I think there is something truthful and useful in dividing and conquering time, it's just that generally the bar is so low right now and we should do better!
Elon Musk and Spiky Intelligence
They seem to be partnering with AMD and AMD has this new nice chip, they couldn't get it into a laptop, so they made a quick desktop.

It seems more like a way to launch a mini-desktop. They can later offer alternative mainboards that fit in that desktop (or anyother).

Yes, its a strange first product, but I think its mostly because they wanted to be early with releasing this AMD chip. Seems to me AMD was looking for partners to push this chip out for 'AI'.
He's being as helpful as possible, there's no need to go hard on his language like this.
I don't think they need his cooperation either
This is a good description of the problem. I'm not sure why it's been downvoted, except that "common" is overstating it a bit.

Plug-and-play web development with Astro
They're using an AMD APU: it has unified RAM and VRAM, much like Apple Silicon. Hence why it needs socketed RAM.

Unified RAM/VRAM is very nice for running LLMs locally, since you can get wayyyy more RAM than you typically can get VRAM on discrete GPUs. 128GB VRAM on discrete GPUs is 4x5090s — aka $8k just on GPU spend alone. This is $2k and it includes the CPU!

Of course, it'll be somewhat slower than a discrete GPU setup, but at a quarter of the cost, that's a reasonable tradeoff for most people I'd think. It should run Llama 3.1 70b (or various finetunes/LoRAs) quite easily, even with reasonably long context.
To be fair, OpenAI's the one marketing it as such.
I think it's an offering for companies that would like to get onboard with Framework but would prefer to only have one contract / contact for their laptops and desktops.
Seeing that code, I could guess that you want to hide that request because, if people saw it, they'd notice that you can just call it repeatedly with different ids and massively vote comments, which is mildly bad. Not only that, but you can probably just use any user id and just spam-vote anything by massively impersonating other users, which is worse than the previous option.

If that's why you want to hide the request, then I have to say you're doing it wrong.

On the one hand, it's wrong because no matter how you hide that code, I can just open the Network tab in the browser's console and see the request anyway. In fact, my browser is so friendly it offers me to "Edit and resend" the request and I don't need any coding skills to do that.

On the other hand, it's wrong because the problem is not located there, in that code. The problem is located in handcmmt.php and in the way you handle identification. handcmmt.php shouldn't need to receive the user id at all.
Maybe "blessing" is more appropriate, but this is really splitting hairs.

So why are physical venues in 2025 presenting me with QR codes? If there is some randomish number (like another commented pointed out QRs may have a UUID number) or a checksum, then encode those randomish bits as a dotted rectangular outline or a line underneath, so a big QR doesn't ruin my human experience.
Advanced Queries in ActiveRecord for Ruby on Rails
You know what? You remind me of a middle aged woman who approached me screaming in January 2021 in a station in the U7 in Berlin.

I was lost, looking at a map when a woman approached me. I first thought she was looking to help me, but she came screaming in German WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT FACE MASK, THIS IS GERMANY, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW OR GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY.

The facemask I was using was a special face mask developed in Argentina: https://www.conicet.gov.ar/scientists-developed-anti-viral-f...

Of course the woman did not have any idea about that. But instead of asking nicely, she started screaming at me.

You remind me of her alright!

edit: also, giving opinions about my person when you don't know how or why I emigrated from the country I was born and lived for 30 years is in bad taste and reeks of Euro privilege. check YOUR privilege.
Perhaps real-time performance monitoring of people is wrong as well and marketing just made it sound less bad as it is?

If your management tracks your commits/velocity, look for a better job. The market easily allows you to do this. It doesn't make sense anyway and anyone with some technical know-how knows this.

This will escalate into something bad like publication metrics did to science. You end up with superfluous drivel that just pads real discovery. Although for code it is even more trivial.

Bottlenecks are something entirely different. If you have a critical-path, there need to be resources to tackle the task at hand. Real-time monitoring is entirely useless here as well.
> It will implement a spec that's written in English or another human language.

No, it won't. Because "human languages" lack the precision to describe such a spec. This is exactly why programming languages exist in the first place: a language that humans understand but that allow for precise and unambiguous specifications and/or instructions. Do note that a computer cannot execute "Python" or "C". We needs to translate it first (compiling). Edit: A programmer doens't just type curly brackets and semi-colons in the right place, she takes vague and ambigous specs and makes them precise enough so that machines can repeat them.

As a kid we had this joke (works better in Dutch).

John gets in an accident, looses both his arms. A doctor gives him futuristic voice-controlled prostethics.

John: "Pick up coffee-mug". "Bring to mouth to drink". woa! impressed he goes home.

John, all excited "unzip pants", "grab d#ck", "jerk off"

(in Dutch, trek af means both "rip off" and "w#ank")

Jokes aside, we do have such a language that's not a programming language in the common sense: executable specs - end to end tests. Gherkin being a famous one but certainly not the only one. BDD, where the B is described by humans, in a DSL and the DD is performed by AI. I could imagine this working. Not currently and not anywhere soon (current LLMs are great at making new stuff, horrible at changing existing stuff), but it might work.

We'd then end up with just another programming language, but one thats more accessible to more people, I guess. And the AI is "just a compiler" in that sense.

Which is a poor assumption, but that's not my point, it's that even with a pipelining solution you can't assume that you're training a model at intervals in an offline fashion.
Whereas math, science, and engineering use language as a vehicle for attaining truth, the legal profession too often regards it as truth.

The greatest legal scholars of the state of Illinois believe there is more decorum in querying Merriam-Webster than there is in reading tea leaves or consulting a Ouija board, but they are wrong. All too often, jurists make decisions based on unconscious accidents of wording by their predecessors, then compound it with their own fallible powers of interpretation and deduction, further cementing their wrongness as "precedent." Instead of addressing this core ambiguity of the FOIA exemption, or attempting to appeal this nonsense interpretation of an undefined term, or introduce better linguistic standards to the legal profession at large, the path of least resistance for victims of litigious violence is to add more complexity in the form of endless amendments. This is what Matt and friends must now pin their hopes on.

Little wonder how one can spend a lifetime specializing in the (martial) art of litigation.

Text to 3D Model
Luckily, the bottom rung of the distance ladder, parallax, is only dependent on geometry, and is therefore completely solid. With the Gaia space telescope, there are now parallax measurements almost to the center of the Milky Way.

Having parallax measurements to that distance helps to build multiple versions of the next rung in the ladder (such as Cepheids and the tip of the red giant branch).

Same!

To me it's a bit like formatting any document nicely.. we wouldn't usually let paragraphs run into each other, and I think in general it can be helpful to split up long blocks of anything into concept-sized chunks whenever possible for easier reading!

Detail: Malaysia hired maritime exploration firm Ocean Infinity to do the actual searching. It's a $70M, “no-find-no-fee” deal, for 18 months of search work.

Though if that's the real price - I wonder why this wasn't done years ago, with financing from some combination of crowdsourcing and exclusive media rights contracts. By Hollywood and broadcast industry standards, $70M is really not big money.

The FFT Strikes Back: An Efficient Alternative to Self-Attention
Empirically, it seems to grow more like 2*log2(n)+1. A handwavy argument can be made that the first bit serves to distinguish the positive values from the negative ones, but after that on average every second bit only adds more precision to values that are already distinguishable or out of range, but doesn't help with values whose representation has the same prefix. I don't know how to make that airtight, though...

I hear you, real Python has its benefits :) The way I see it, these are different approaches to solving similar (but still quite different) problems. In the case of rad, it's just a language, it's not trying to replace your shell, but the fact that it's only Python-like might indeed deter some people. But - it also opens up some unique syntax that can be tailored really well to CLI scripts. For example, the syntax for args [1] or json "rad blocks" [2], as I've called them.

Sorry to cross your excellent questions, but it doesn’t seem they are beating HP Z2 mini G1a to market. HP announced first week of January that it will be “available in spring”, while now framework announced for Q3.

It also seems HP will use the PRO version of the chip.

Kudos to framework for announcing the price and anchoring the market though!

Russia, obviously. But remember, this war is in Europe — Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Finland all consider the territorial aims of Russia to be existential threats. The reason so many former soviet countries (like Ukraine) want into NATO is fearing Russia as an existential threat.

Biden was, I think, was afraid of escalation, of Russian nukes.

Trump and Putin both think in terms that could be phrased as "great powers set the rules, everyone else is an NPC". Both are going to continue to be confused that Europe doing exactly what Trump is telling them to do — increasing military spending — is going to result in a Europe that has no strings binding it to the USA.
