> There's already plenty of attention.

This is what you're missing. No there isn't. The more people who publicly pay a high personal cost to bring further attention to these problems, the more awareness there will be among the electorate.

The "effort to resist and obstruct from the inside" was largely driven from the top, cabinet officials and agency heads pushing back, not from people at the edges ignoring or countermanding direction.
The UK is not in Europe, which would otherwise impose human rights legal constraints on UK government legislation.
Why does zoning matter more in Oak Park and Evanston? High demand from being on the El and close to Chicago?
more than just forums, it's basically a failed state now. I knew when I left (I was the last of my school year to do so) it was going to get bad once Elizabeth died, and that would be soon, but I never imagined it would get this bad.

The plan for April is to remove the need for police to obtain a warrant to search peoples homes - that bad.

I'd say "there will be blood on the streets", but there already is...

This video pretty much sums up what the UK is now.

> They claimed they sold all this software while in reality they just dumped it in some warehouse at the Cincinnati airport. Then proceeded to sell their shares before shit hit fan.

Now crypto bros can just nakedly pump and dump. We live in interesting times.
Thank you for releasing an update to the Framework 13! I have an original 11th-gen Intel w/ Xe, and I'm now ready to upgrade (esp. the graphics). Stoked I'm still supported! Gonna grab a new screen, a new keyboard, and a new Ryzen!
Its for search/ranking functionality, not necessary GenAI.
My buddy did this. Apprenticed to become a low voltage electrician. Runs Cat6 for office builds. He did it for the reduced stress. He’s a lot happier. He owns a home in SF on a single salary.
> Meaning two highly respected entities, known for being well aware of the wider impact of their careful enforcement of strict policies, need to agree to cause any major breakage.

Note that this is not a "both" but a "any of them". One can disagree with the other on this and still cause wide breakage.
From my reading US sales tax are only state level and usually much lower than 25%. Around 5-10%. Also 5 states have no sales tax at all.
> 8 bits is enough to represent the entire ascii char table, there must be some other limitation going on. QR code control chars maybe?

The specified capacity of "25 characters" for QR code size is 25 characters in alphanumeric mode, not in byte mode.

> The linked "byte mode" table only has 45 individual chars. This could be represented with 6 bits with room to spare..

Even better than that - it's 5.5 bits per character! Each pair of characters is represented as a single 11-bit code unit. (This works because 45 x 45 = 2025, which is just barely under 2^11 = 2048.)

There's apparently some support in the QR standard for mixed-encoding codes, but few encoders seem to use that.
I don't live in a place where people buy a Tesla because they need it. Only wealthy people buy Teslas, and they buy it like one would buy a Rolex.

Where I live, if someone buys a Tesla now, they deserve a sticker. I said a sticker, not to be beaten in the street.
Just about any Linux desktop or laptop supports most/all the games the Steam Deck does (and then some, given the less-severe performance constraints).
What makes it good is the tradeoff between how well it solves the problem compared to how easy it is to maintain. And people learn how to write better code as they get more experienced, but old projects are seldom rewritten using the learnings - it is often just easier to start over from scratch.
Ooo thats wild, almost like one of those cinema camera emulators that directors have.
I think a splashy coordinated resignation seems better. But certainly there's not like some obvious best option!
I wouldn't characterize the finetuning process as "nothing"
Just a note that the GPU in this, while quite good, is still basically a midrange laptop GPU. It seems to be a tad bit better than an RTX 2060 but worse than any Nvidia card sold at a higher tier than that. You're right that's probably fine for most folks though. For folks building a gaming PC though, a RTX 4060 will probably be pretty great.
As someone that mainly codes in Python and only has rudimentary JS skills, I'm intrigued. The generative art pyscript demos mentioned in the blog post are really nice.

Using decorator calls to "compile" chunks of python code seems like an increasingly popular trend in ML (and presumably other numerically intensive code) - e.g., numba, jax.jit and triton.
They didn't need to. In the first appeal, it didn't matter because it didn't jeopardize security. In the second appeal, they said it's a file layout.

You also said SQL schemas are declarative, not imperative. Those are types of programming languages, so software.
Thanks for these comments, I appreciate it.

Although I would point out:

> scalability [...] no company would even bother with PostgreSQL at all

In my experience, you can get pretty far with Postgresql on a beefy server, and when combined with monitoring, pg_stat_statements and application level caching (e.g. the user for this given request, instead of fetching that data on every layer of the request handling), certainly enough most businesses/organisations out there.
This is peak technosolutionism and it sounds like a cult or a religion at this point. It's all about believing, "expanding" the human mind and other woo woo shenanigans.

LLMs aren't an oracle of truth, science and medicine can't solve everything. It's OK to be sick and not have answers, if you've "done everything" and the experts don't have an answer chat gpt won't automagically summon an answer from its statistical soup. It sucks but it's a fact of life, we're not gods, and neither are llms.
I’ve been actively using elixir for ML at work, and I would say it’s a solid choice.

The downside - unfortunately while bumblebee, Axon, and Nx are libraries that seem to have a fantastically engineered base most of the latest models don’t have native elixir implementations yet and making my own is a little beyond my skill still. So a lot of the models you can easily run are older.

But the advantages - easy long running processes, great multiprocessing support, solid error handling and recovery - all pair very well with AI systems.

For example, it’s very easy to make an application that grabs files, caches them locally, and runs ML tasks against them. You can use process monitoring and linking to manage the locally cached files, and there’s no runtime duration limit like you might hit in a serverless system like lambda. Interprocess messaging means you can easily run ML in a background task and stream results asynchronously to a user. Additionally, logs are automatically streamed to the parent process and it’s easy to tag logs with process metadata, so tracking what is going on in your application is dead simple.

That’s basically a whole stack for a live ML service with all the difficult infrastructure bits already taken care of.
“…Eisenhower, the newly-elected president, was working on something a little bigger: a national security policy to counter the growing Soviet military threat in Europe.”

The good old days.
sure, but

a) that would involve changing the code base
b) more privacy minded users would just delete the messages or not update.
> Typically in AI and CS what we mean by "next token predictor" is a system that maximises the probability of the k+1'th token given the k previous tokens. More formally:

> P(tₖ|t₁,..,tₖ₋₁)

Not a meaningful definition unless you say what probability distribution it's maximizing it for!

Because for any system that takes any actions (e.g. human beings), there's some probability distribution that that's true for...

> You presume to have internalized Framework's core-values more than the founder/CEO?

His reaction in the livestream was along these lines when he semi-jokingly said "I'm surprised no one from the audience threw something at me"

At a larger event I would have kind of expected a "boo", but it seemed like a rather small gathering where most people knew each other. Unlike the live 12k Youtube chat, that was very surprised and disappointed at times.
Probably not the intent of the attributed author [0] but literally speaking the statement doesn't specific "ethical" or "peaceful", no.

Right, and how does this square up with the administration explicitly siding with Russia?
> I think the suggestion is that the EMR should flag dangerous conditions like this, and notify the doctor on duty to at least take a look at it.

Or a PA or CRN. They are cheaper. As the last resort you can have an AI doing it :-)
And what data does chat gpt has that your personal team of smart doctors doesn't have?
Nice. Couple comments:

* If you can find ways to collect and preserve copies of the software, that can be big value. Every version and variation of a title has sometimes been important after the fact. Maybe use archive.org for historical archiving of software with unclear licensing status, and link to it from your wiki, with your wiki providing the background text and organizing that isn't archive.org's strong suit. (I'm not talking about piracy, but just trying to ensure that any copy at all survives, which had been a real problem on some other platforms of this era. Also, it's easier to get a company to say that such-and-such software from a company three acquisitions ago is OK for people to run on vintage boxes and in emulators and museums, than to ask them to find and provide a working copy, which they usually cannot.)

* You might want to capture provenance/copyright info for uploaded photos, like Wikipedia kinda does. Easier to capture it at upload/linking time, than to try to reconstruct it later.
This is to comply with the ever changing export restrictions enacted by the current US administration. So don’t expect it to change soon.
I'm pretty sure they aren't compatible. One difference for example is that the 12" uses pogo pins to connect the keyboard to the mainboard, instead of the ribbon cable in the 13". It seems to be an entirely different board.
Growing up in Buffalo New York, I only once as a kid saw one flying while on a camping trip in a remote state park. Now, you see one almost every day on the coastline of lake Erie. They are so much bigger than other birds that you will notice even if you are not on the lookout. Their scale is astounding compared to sea gulls.

They have also come back to the Potomac and Washington DC which is nice.
I read the Jefferson quote and his “I“ as part of society that gradually improve(s/d) to a point where people are given the chance to study what their passion is for passions sake - which is an end goal, where it can stop. Not as an individual family growth ladder that needs repetition.

As an “if we all work together we can achieve this paradise within three generations from where we are“.
Why would they have soldered RAM? Isn't that antithetical to their mission?
The Mac App Store (and all of Apple's App Stores) doesn't enable this sort of licensing. It's exactly the sort of thing that drives a lot of developers to independent distribution.

That's why we see so many more subscription-based apps these days, application development is an ongoing process with ongoing costs, so it needs to have ongoing income. But the traditional buy-it-once app pricing doesn't enable that long-term development and support. The app store supports subscriptions though, so now we get way more subscription-based apps.

I really think Siracusa came up with a clever pricing scheme here, given his want to use the app store for distribution.
He is less concerned that people can create an evil AI if they want to and more concerned that no person can keep an AI from being evil even if we tried.
statistical regression is also machine learning.
> soldered-down CPU and GPU and soldered-down, non-upgradeable RAM.

They’ve brought some of the traditional modularity from desktop into the laptop world, and now bring us typical laptop design to the desktop world.

Keeping things in perfect balance.
My wife and I are building a sort of solar punk diy hydroponic farming growing start up here in our garage in Alaska!

We found a nice design someone had released online under creative commons BY, modified it to fit our needs (though we’re thinking mark2 might need a complete redesign), then have been printing the towers out and growing veggies under grow lights!

We have a long way to go but I’m building the online store presently to sell towers (that should be up and running in a few weeks - I’m kind of exhausted after my day job - and we’re hoping to have enough towers to sell veggies at the farmers market by the summer.

Long term I’ll likely buy some land and build a less ad hoc setup, for now, we are still experimenting. The idea is to slowly build this up as self-reliantly and simply as we can so that anyone can grow their own food and so we can use dirt simple tools to run the business. We plan on doing as much as is practical with open source tooling and Linux. No subscriptions, no spyware (once we get to tower design mark4 or 5 and we have some raspberry pis running the tooling), and we want this to be a model so other people can do the same thing we’re doing!

Basically, as we approach this AI inflection point, I really strongly feel like the best results for the future will be to leverage this technology for good. Also, I think there’s a niche in using tech for extremely practical and non-SaaS purposes. Everyone and their brother wants to create this crazy billion dollar startup idea where everyone pays them a subscription to their AI bot or whatever, we’re just hoping we can make people a little more resilient in our community and maybe feed my neighbors. We think we can leverage these new tools for good.

I’m not a very experienced web dev (my day job is in automation), but I’m learning and actually it looks like I might have some side business where I throw together some small websites for local companies too. The goal is modest, practical, and ideally something that makes my community better.

Come check out my terrible flask website here:

In a couple weeks I should have my garage cleaned out and the online store ready, but for now enjoy!
"We pinky swear to totes not enforce the law as written [unless and until we decide, with no notice or warning, to do so] up to and including criminal penalties". Not as reassuring as you claim it to be.
Okay.

What book that covers a similar range of topics as APoSD would you suggest?
I hire electricians regularly. Driving a grounding rod is physically demanding. Moving conduit and hoisting it overhead for long runs is demanding. Carrying tools around, mounting light fixtures…and this is for light commercial work. It’s definitely not easy on the body and why older electricians want to transition in to design and engineering as opposed to field work.
But this isn’t legal. Doge is not a validly created department because it wasn’t created by congress. Elon musk was appointed by the president after congressional advise and consent. The termination has violated employment law pass by congress specifically to shield the federal employees from partisan attacks and influence. The fact that the federal bureaucracy has been a non-partisan professional workforce has been on of the greatest strengths in the world. What musk and trump are doing will introduce corruption in government by turning it into a spoil system. They are making new hires swear allegiance to trump directly not the constitution. Also not legal. And when they’ve lost in court they have actively defied the rulings. Oh and that’s after lying about the fact that Elon’s running things to make their position more favorable. Shall I go on?
> State ownership of business

Until they either collapse (LGFVs in China) or severely degrade in user quality (Air India), and it's the taxpayers on the hook.

> heavy restrictions on the ability of owners to sell, dissolve, for take risks with business they own

Then there's no incentive to start or scale a business, for example why business incorporation in Switzerland is preferred over France despite similar/same culture, but easier ability to incorporate, sell, or shut down businesses

> Consumers don't get a say because they are not actual equity owners things like securing access to yarn or all you can eat shrimp do not supersede property rights in the view of the government

I can still go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or my local crafts shop to buy the same products.
Everyone who has been working on RAG is aware of how important source control is. Simply directing your agent to fetch keyword matching documents will lead to inaccurate claims.

The reality is that for now it is not possible to leave the human out of research, so I think the best LLM can only help curate sources and synthesize them, but cannot reliably write sound conclusions.

Edit: this is something elicit.com recognized quite early. But even when I was using it, I was wishing I had more control over the space over which the tool was conducting search.
Bald eagles occasionally visit my farm. On multiple occasions, I have seen them swoop in and carry off a duck, leaving almost no evidence. They eventually eat my entire flock, so I periodically need to restock.

Even when I catch them in the act, I cannot yell at them for it, because that would be "hazing". They are federally prohibited from any sort of interference, so they have learned that there is a consequence-free dine-and-dash buffet here.

These experiences enlightened me as to why some farmers prefer the "3S" approach to predator management: Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.
Awesome, thanks. I’ll give it a try. Nice work.
It was a violation of orders as all airframes were explicitly ordered to be destroyed and burned.
I'm not an attacker, just a boring old software dev. If there's an SQL Injection I'd say all bets are off re: schema.

That said I've definitely worked on applications where knowing the schema could help you exfill data in the absence of a full injection. The most obvious being a query that's constructed based on url parameters, where the parameters aren't whitelisted.

So I actually do agree that the schema could potentially be of marginal benefit to the attacker.

What defines hate speech? Who defines hate speech? Does hate speech result from the speech or the actions of those against the speech? Should the speech of protestors have consequences for disturbing the peace? What consequences should the state force onto individuals for speech, or actors affected by speech?

Americans for lack of a better description grapple with violence of the state differently than Europeans, but it seems neither are without consequence.
That sounds misleading. The parent comment says all deliveries in Asia are limited to Taiwan. As far as I'm aware, export restrictions are only placed on certain chips going to China.

How do export restrictions prevent Framework from shipping to i.e Japan?
> It’s funny how often I hear this about AI replacing jobs, with one exception: Everyone who repeats it is highly confident that AI can replace other jobs but once you get to the work they do they’ll stop and explain why it’s actually much harder than you think.

I guess the argument there would be that this news makes it sound more plausible people could technically build LLMs which are "actually" "good"...
I wonder how easy it is for an unfamiliar pilot to “drive” around and recognise the different features that were discussed. Seems like you are relying on someone understanding the instructions over the radio and navigating the “roads” they might be seeing for the first time. Is this super easy and hard to get wrong? Seems like even some (automated?) traffic lights would be enough to have stopped this but I know nothing about it so would be interested in hearing what it’s actually like.
1. Taxes are not charity. That isn't a legitimate position and saying that will rightfully get you laughed at. You rely on taxes HEAVILY. The Interstate system alone cost us 25 Trillion dollars and I know you drive a car.

2. Your taxes will not be lower. If that's your goal I don't know what to tell you.
One of the things you can infer from this is that these people don't think the workers need to be supported by management. This is one of the most common forms of inefficiency I find, though. Management resents workers so much that they don't enable them to do work properly, due to a bias which leads them to believe their workers should be able to do more with less. A failure to invest in a functional work environment and content workers only leads to lowered productivity in a vicious cycle.

In my mind these guys are essentially telling on themselves for being clueless about most of what they're designing the software for. They think they get it, they're super confident, but when it comes down to it they're designing software based around very constrained and biased ideas of how factories should operate. They think they're innovating but they're actually trying to entrench patterns they think work well (but might not at all). Not bringing anything new or interesting, but regurgitated ML patterns other people innovated.
Parent clearly means upgrade at time-of-purchase.

I don’t quite get why framework focuses so much on Intel and AMD. ARM laptops are in the rise, and don’t need active cooling. It’s hard for me to think of upgrading to another laptop with fans when so many fanless (I.e.: silent) options are available.
lol theres a time and a place ...
It's true that the best camera is the one you have with you.

I've definitely carried "real" cameras much less in the ~2 decades since I've gotten a smartphone than the 2 decades prior. I still use a "real" camera when I'm aiming for the best results, but it doesn't make up the majority of my photos anymore, mainly because it is an extra hassle to have something else to carry.

Are there any worthwhile pocketable cameras these days? Seems like those CoolPix and similar cameras that were ubiquitous 20 years ago are a rare sight these days, and if people own an actual separate camera it's going to be something beefy. Has anyone applied the advances in computational photography from smartphones to a standalone camera with a somewhat larger sensor and lens, but still smaller than the Sigma BF and competitors?
