In the US there's the 5th ammendment:

"nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

don't know how that would actually work if something like the parthenon was uncovered in the US.
As someone who's done a fair amount of frontend work, the hard part is always squeezing text into a clean UX.

The problem language is usually German, so if you have copy like "share screen", you have to find a way to fit in 12 (2x English) 'M' characters comfortably.
Only one man would dare give him the raspberries.
Great, my account actually just got hit with this. Are we absolutely sure this is solved?

Thank the lord I didn't have anything all that important, and I was in front of my computer to change my password immediately.

As far as I can tell, no one signed into my account. Pretty embarrassing vulnerability tbh...
Hey everyone! I am looking for a portable GPS tracker with a magnetic mount. So far, all my online searches and ChatGPT results have mentioned SpaceHawk GPS. Has anyone used this device to track a vehicle? I have a teenage driver I am trying to make sure is not driving like a wild one.
This is really a very interesting way of visualizing it.
Even in modern mathematics, the postfix notation is used in some places. One example I can recall is permutations.

Consider the following permutation:

f = (1 2 3 4)
(1 4 2 3)

This is typically written in cycle-notation like this:

f = (1)(243)

If we look at the cycle notation, f maps each symbol to the one on the right. For example, it maps 1 to 1, 2 to 4, 4 to 3, and 3 to 2.

Now if we want to find out what happens to the sequence (4 3 2 1) when we apply f to it, we normally write it as

(3 4 2 1)f

The argument comes first. The function name comes next. It makes it quite convenient to work with permutations, composition of permutations, etc. For example, the result for the above application is:

(3 4 2 1)f = (3 4 2 1)(1)(243) = (2 3 4 1)
Octonions are cool! The one application I’m familiar with is in crystallography - you can represent the interface between two crystals with a unit octonion https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2018.12.034

Can you give some pointers to other interesting applications?
Ha! You just reminded me how we changed our Alexa to Ziggy while my kid was away at college. He came home over a break and was eventually screaming "Alexa" trying to get it to wake up.
There is a set of values that are common among news organizations. If you don't share a value, then of course you wouldn't think it's important enough for a newspaper to defend. That doesn't mean it's not important to those who do share the value.
Intel supports ECC, so does AMD, so why would they lobby against it? Intel uses it for market segmentation, but I don't think it is a big deal.

It is just that those who build consumer-grade hardware don't want to spend 12% more on RAM for slightly less performance. Among them are essentially all ARM devices, including smartphones and Apple silicon Macs.
The US should have taken the offer.
Really? Apple sold the device as capable of displaying "millions of colors" which you don't get to with 6 bits per pixel.

Promises were made. Why should they defend themselves on their own?
How about calculating confidence in terms of which output regions are stable across the same input on multiple tries. Expensive, but the hallucinations should have more variable output and be fuzzier than higher confidence regions in averages.
Doesn't the article open with a declaration of such control?

"The Washington Post's billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, announced a sweeping new libertarian vision for the paper's opinion sections on Wednesday, just four months after his decision to kill a presidential endorsement of Kamala Harris triggered hundreds of thousands of subscribers to cancel."
Congratulations, that is a roaring success I daydream about all the time!

I think you've already answered a lot about your development journey, so I want to ask about the post-release experience.

- How were the weeks immediately after release? Hectically shipping out patches 3 times a day?

- Now that we're months out after release, what are you doing now? Are you still spending a lot of time on this game (ports, updates), or are you thinking of another game or returning to office work?

Frankly I bought it on release but couldn't get into it because the meta progression (unlocking triggers that dilute the trigger pool for little perceivable gain) didn't feel as good as Luck be a Landlord or Balatro. I hope later updates address that.
> And if I'm just totally wrong on this, then you have your answer on why I never gave up on this project. I never once, ever, at any point, lost hope that it wouldn't work (HOW COULD IT?!).... right up until the very instant when I couldn't deny it anymore and it was on the screen in front of me.

Has this experience changed your way of thinking at all? It sounds like the thing people thought was possible actually was possible, and that Turing completeness really did mean what people thought it did.
Their status updates look clearly like AI-generated blurbs saying the same thing with varied phrasing, hour after hour. Thanks for the slop? I know writing status page updates is annoying, but “a human is paying attention to this” is the specific thing that status updates are trying to convey, so trying to get info from this page felt dispiriting today.

Edit: this would also explain why some details of the updates were nonsensical.
> fine-tuning a model on tool usage could also allow it to gain familiarity with specific retrieval mechanisms.

I am curious if finetuning on specific usecases would outperform RAG approaches, assuming the data is static (say company documentation). I know there has been lots of posts on this, but yet to see quanitifications, especially with o3-mini.
Is the background music the music from Batman Beyond? lol
I mean, actually, I would argue that free markets in America are in desperate need of defense, but probably not the kind that Jeff Bezos would provide.

Specifically away from business consolidations and monopolistic tactics. The very kind of thing that may lead to something like the breakup of say Amazon.
It’s worse than that because SEO excreta is still shown to the user, who at least has a chance to question it. With this style of assistant, the user doesn’t even see what the bot saw and that opens up new areas for abuse which is harder to detect.
As a linguist, article like this also annoy me by the claims that "X [whales, dolphins, parrots, crows...] uses language." We have known since 1957 that there is a hierarchy of "grammars", with finite state "languages" being near the bottom, and transformational grammars at the top. Human languages are certainly at a minimum at the context free phrase structure grammar level. My point is that by using the word "language" loosely, almost anything (DNA codons, for example) can be considered to be a language. But few if any other animals can get past the finite state level--and perhaps none gets even that far.

And an article or book that uses the word "communicate" is even more annoying, since "communicate" seems to mean virtually anything.

End of my rant...
Summary of Romeo & Juliet: “A few teenagers get way too dramatic about a crush and end up dead.”

My point being that for a story like this the journey is more important than the destination.
> This is easily corrected in C by adding a small extension

Unfortunately, easily corrected it is not. Yes, probably >95% of arrays have a nearby easily-accessible length parameter that indicates their maximum legal length (excluding the security disaster of null-terminate strings). But the problem is there's no consistent way that people do this. Sometimes people put pointer first and size second, sometimes it's the other way around. Sometimes the size is a size_t, sometimes an unsigned, sometimes an int. Or sometimes it's not a pointer-and-size, but pointer and one-past-the-end pointer pair. Sometimes multiple arrays share the same size parameter.

So instead of an easy solution getting you 90% for effectively free, you get like 30% with the easy solution, and have to make it more complicated to handle the existing diversity to push it back up to that 90%.
> What are your solutions to these issues?

I don't see issues, I see "issues". What people have done to solve them is a bigger issue for me than what they're trying to solve. E.g. affirmative action, another cute euphemism

> you haven't said anything that indicates people on the left support it

It's common knowledge? The summary left position in the US is to give a path to legal status, it creates a moral hazard that incentivizes more illegal immigration. And the typical rhetorical strategy is to try to play dumb or downplay that this will happen

> it's a major issue in the EU, for example.

Which, for the most part (e.g. Germany, the one in the news right now) is legal immigration
It's ironic that you are commenting on this site where moderators will absolutely erase content they feel is inappropriate. I will do the same on my blog--assuming Google hasn't just scrubbed what they consider spam in the first place.
To be honest this sounds like something someone inexperienced would do in any language.

If you're not comfortable in a language, then sure you ponder and pontificate and wonder about what the right approach is, but if you're experienced and familiar then you just do it plain and simple.

What you're describing is not at all a language issue, it's an issue of familiarity and competency.
It might be harsh, but the general premise is good that we should not blame the victims of unauthorized access to computer systems.

We should also, as you point out, require vendors to implement minimum security standards.
I'm sorry, but it looks like a scam. The "maritime" addition looks like it's designed to filter out investors gullible enough not to ask too many questions.

This is not unprecedented, Ulstein THOR is the same concept. They're building a nuclear-powered ship with a reactor type that has never really been proven in practice. With unclear use-cases ("recharge battery-powered ships at sea and Antarctic cruises").

Why not build a demonstrator reactor first? _ANY_ energy positive fusion reactor is going to be a HUGE deal.

Have you read the Post's editorial and op-ed pages? I am long out of the habit, but when I do look at them, there are plenty of contributors who are old-line conservative (George Will's columns are syndicated through the Post) or new and happy to tell us about the special genius of this president.
Batteries are steadily improving, at least in the cost factor. We haven't seen any 2x leaps in density from sulfur or solid state or aluminum air.

But LFP and Sodium Ion are making undeniable progress in cheap usable EV batteries that don't require nickel or cobalt.

Decomplation _project_. The title change had me excited this was anywhere near complete.
My favorite theory is he was so unhappy with what liberals did to his LOTR series he became a republican.

In reality its probably because his number 1 focus is Blue Origin and he needs government support for this.
Weird take, it seems to me like his success was driven by being a net value-add for his community. Going to his same barber everyday is less "being waited upon by legions of servants" and a lot more sharing your success with the community.

He helped the hotels he hung out at earn lots of money by getting rich people to come often and spend money. If he got paid in dollars instead of free cabana time when it's empty it'd be called sales. Everyone seems to enjoy his presence, and talking to the staff and giving them yearly presents definitely seems worth letting a guy stay a couple hours after they've finished their purchased meal.

If living alone in a small one bedroom flat with no car after retirement constitutes "excesses and inequalities of capitalism", then I can only assume you are anti-elderly and would rather they produced value for you until death.
In those days you didn’t get divorced, you “stayed together” for the children.

So they were effectively separated most of those years. Just informally so.
Maybe they are conflating the Starcraft success that Deepmind had with AlphaStar?
This is a remarkably stupid decision. Flu vaccines are incredibly successful not just from a public health standpoint but also a business productivity standpoint.

I guess we're going to relearn this lesson the hard way. Especially with businesses also demanding people come back to the office to work.
In a similar vein, there's no inherent reason to use a calculator over doing calculations on paper. Ever seen a paper run out of battery?
My friend Joe from the Anime Sickos podcast talked Ballionaire up a lot and I'm looking forward to playing it, which would happen sooner if it were available on switch. Congrats on your success!
Is this really upper management though? I see a lot of what I assume to be engineers here taking the same approach, and many projects in open source.
I'm out of the loop on this one and have no context, but:

> It strikes me as odd that even super-intelligent people are so quick to generalise from unrepresentative samples.

Maybe that's why agency>intelligence
Congratulations! I saw Yahtzee playing this a few weeks ago — seems like a fun time. The market is notoriously saturated right now, any wisdom on how you broke through with marketing/outreach? (Or was that entirely on the publisher?)
My god, you’re the creator of Ballionaire!!

I dont know what I was expecting clicking on this article but it wasn’t that.

Magnificent game, I watched Northernlion play this after he beat Balatro.
Nice tool, but fails when the network is intermittent.

I suggest loading all data together with the page, and avoid using AJAX altogether.

It's not huge, after all, just a few megs.
This is pretty hysterical. How many grizzlies do humans kill a year?
Of course you aren't. But if you weren't deliberately dense, you'd see that Bezos didn't give a definition of personal liberty. He just told them that it matters, and they should write about it every now and then. One would think that in the US writing about personal liberty would not raise any controversy, but here we are.
Perhaps. It can also produce or reinforce a false balance.

We don't have too many op eds defending the flat earth theory anymore. Sadly I've seen too many friends fall down such rabbit holes.
So the screen is clearly visible, no matter which side of the kitchen island you're on?

Especially if the screen is showing a recipe, unit conversion, timers, etc.

If it's silent, that seems like it could be really cool.
>What happens if someone who doesn't believe in those ideals uses the free market to simply buy up news media and push the opposite narrative?

Haven't we seen for the last 10 years exactly what will happen in this situation? I mean, not through the free market, but the deep state pretty much had complete control over the narrative of 90% of the media, from Covid to border policy.

And the stronger the control, the less trust people have in these media, and at the end of the day the election results are no longer decided by who is clearly supported by 90% of the news media, but by who came to Joe Rogan's podcast.
Cool. Would love to see this for Golang too. Do you plan to add them for your Golang tracks?
I had one of these! I think the common nicknames were “lampshade” or “half dome” at the time. I wrote my graduate thesis on it.

It was a very capable Mac that could even play 3D games smoothly - Wolfenstein and a bundled game for kids about escaped aliens who crash landed out west.

One of the best features was the swivel screen, which you could easily whip around to show something to someone else in the room.

I don't think it's unusual for an owner to exert influence over the opinion section. Bezos is a hypocrite for saying he wouldn't take a heavy hand with the paper when he bought it, and for pretending now that he's doing this for any other reason than not being willing to forego political favors. He sucks, and can't be trusted. But that's also always been true of the opinion sections of newspapers, which in the end are just a wordier version of the poorly-reasoned hot takes you can get for free just by reading this comment.
I'm sorry mate, that does not make sense

I am appalled by this change, but I am not switching to Brave. Mozilla is loosing trust, Brave started with zero.

Not only a "data center". Nokia has LTE 4G connectivity for moon local data onboard the lander/hopper Grace.

It's supposed to be able to travel/hop up to 100m high with a range of 25km from Athena to dive into ditches with shadow areas. Quite an interesting mission.

It most assuredly is... but you're not the customer.

You’re modded down for some reason but I haven’t thought of consciousness as a model that eventually becomes sophisticated enough to model itself. That could be an explanation for self awareness. …haven’t thought of that.
I suppose that when your previous employer has over 3B users (FB alone, not even counting IG and WA and whatever else they have going on), 200k might seem like a small number of people :P

But I agree. OP, 200k is a hugely respectable number for a game or any piece of software for that matter. I’d be happy if 200 people used any of mine, never mind the k :p Congrats! :)
Presumably it may be rescheduled? Let's say personnel is in flux at the moment. Might make sense to bump out an important meeting until things stabilize?

There is so much breathless hysteria in the media predicting or implying a prediction, and when 99% of it fails to materialize there is never a follow up.

Some people take it way too far, but I think my invocation was just trivially true. We can't come to any conclusion about the prevalence of life elsewhere in the universe, just based on the fact that we exist.

Isn’t Musk a perfect example of one now?
Sanitizing inputs in important in addition to memory safety.

Sanitizing inputs won't protect you against all bugs. For example, you may store a string in a 256-byte buffer, so you check that the string is no longer than 256 characters, but you forget the zero-terminator, and you have a buffer overflow. Or maybe you properly limited the string to 255 characters, but along the way, you added support for multibyte characters, and you get another buffer overflow.

Bound checking would have caught that.

Injection can happen at any point. You may sanitize user input to avoid SQL injection, but at some later point it may get out of the database and in a format string, but it was sanitized for SQL, not for format strings, leading to a potential injection.

Yes, it’s clear that a lot of people are for a party that now openly sieg-heils on stage (it’s not just Musk, he started a trend)

This is useful information to have, and I, for one won’t be forgetting it.

IME code reviews are a bullshit half-measure that ends up as the worst of all worlds. It's tragic that so many companies settle on them as a compromise position.
This sounds like the dudes who said the iPod was pointless because they already had MP3s on their computer, or wondering why they bought Macs instead of PCs. Other people are allowed to have different priorities than you, and it’s okay for products to find a niche which isn’t universal – very few things have smartphone levels of ubiquity.

It’s generally quite useful to react to other people persistently buying something you don’t feel the need for by learning what they value. For example, smart speakers are quite popular with parents who either have their hands full (literally), don’t want the distraction of a screen, or want something for the gap measured in years where a kid can talk but does not have a personal computer. That’s certainly not universal, but if you think about similar contexts or needs you might come up with some good product ideas which could be worthwhile even if they never ship in the billions of units.
Probably it's not relevant to you commercially at the moment (or ever?), but would love some intuition on how your models perform on really low end hardware. Does this technique translate into improved CPU-only performance? Also curious about density, does the technique require more/fewer/roughly same parameters as a traditional LLM for the same output quality?

That's a good point. The intent was to suggest that if a consumer keeps returning to the project, maybe they should be paying for its maintenance. However, the source code needs to remain freely available, so that part probably goes too far. I will fix it.
Hey, Meta has something like 67k employees for those 3.35 billion users (for simple stats I could find), and thats. That's 50k users to an employee. I think this dev is doing quite well by those standards. :)
