Be careful with these. I had a subdomain like this (completely unlisted) with a Google OAuth flow on it, using a development mode Google app. Somehow, the domain was discovered, and Google decided that using their OAuth flow was a phishing scam, and delisted my entire toplevel domain as a result!

I understand what you mean but there are multiple issues with that statement: it assumes there is a homogenous group of "those people", that they all react in this way (I find this vocal always-offended-by-anything minority equally irritating), that "normalcy" is something defined or even defineable, and that it is static.

These all are important issues but need e very balanced approach. Skewing things both left and right will have negative consequences to the society as a whole.
Not at all.

Common Lisp has the loop macro which is fairly imperative.

It also has a really great OOP implementation in CLOS

Lisp need not be purely functional.
Such a definition of “naturally occurring” is useless, and thus pointless to entertain.

Besides, it doesn’t “all” originate from Earth. If you want to be really uselessly pedantic, nothing on Earth originated on Earth.
Interesting. Thanks for your answer. For what it's worth I likely have the same type of ADHD but also have a strong inner monologue.
you could simply enable it back.
Thank you for answering. I can't wait to this stuff starts to get examined in more detail and more experiences shared, I think we are only at the tip of the iceberg.
What is the issue with TOML maps and sequences compared to YAML?

My main gripe was that inline tables had to be single line, but the restriction is lifted in TOML 1.1.0.

I believe that it is related with important conferences opening papers reception soon. Some disallow publishing in preprint for some weeks before the paper reception, so people may have been rushing uploading stuff.
I don’t think there’s any confusion over the definition of roguelike vs roguelite.

The key difference is that roguelikes lack the meta progression that roguelites have. Rogue and friends didn’t have meta progression.

So hades is a roguelite, not a roguelike.

It’s a well known distinction.
I come from a medical science background, where I studied the brain from a "traditional" neuroscience perspective (biology, pathology, anatomy, psychology and whatnot). That the best way is actually to try to recreate it is honestly how I feel whenever I read about AI advancements where the clear goal is to achieve/surpass human intelligence, something we don't fully understand yet.

“What I cannot create, I do not understand.” someone clever once said.
The impression I got, and I'd be happy to have someone help me improve this impression, is that it's a way to craft a CA that behaves the way you want as opposed to the traditional approach to studying CA's which involves tinkering with the rules and then seeing what behaviour emerges.
I had ISDN for around $75/mo in '94 or '95, flat rate for "local" calls. It was fantastic! But then the phone company switched it to a metered service (in Omaha Nebraska, USA) and the price would have been over $300/mo after that change. I was grandfathered in, as long as I didn't move.

I was talking to a sales rep, at the time I worked for USWest or QWest, whatever they were called at that time, which may have helped, and the sales rep told me "we are being told to actively discourage people from buying ISDN".

I get the impression that the phone company hated consumer modem use of any kind, because it tied up CO equipment 24x7, and they liked the returns on investment they got with people paying $25/mo for resources that were used an hour or less a day, sometimes with extra revenue from long distance calling. And ISDN was just another representation of that.
> I must stress that the idea of "Science predicting facts" is a consolidated formula in Philosophy of Science.

Respectfully, I'd suggest that you are misinterpreting it or using the wrong terminology. Science is not a thing, it is a process: A hypothesis is a prediction about the world, which is validated or disproven via experiment. A validated hypothesis -- like Newton's physics -- is a model for how the world works, which may later be superseded by more accurate models. Newton's physics, though a great stride in our understanding of the world, is not a fact, instead it is an approximation of reality.

> * the predicting activities of a junkie under psychedelics and that of a lucid thinker are substantially different.*

There's also a substantial difference between the predicting activities of a cat and those of a man.

Scratch the surface, though, and the same type of thing is happening.

Of course LLMs don't predict things exactly as you do. But at what they were trained to do -- in much the same way a cat was "trained" by long eons to hunt mice -- they're extremely capable, and they're extensible and capable of abstraction much as humans are, and much unlike cats. It's not even clear that, in the general case, how they work is any worse than how we work. It's still early.

Your point, that they're structurally flawed, is noted -- but look at the average human and try to tell me that human reasoning is flawless. Human reasoning is perhaps even more unreliable. As for your detective game, how many humans, picked at random, could solve it?

> You have the framework very very wrong: the point is not that we memorize, the point is that those LLMs don't check.

Use DeepSeek R1 and try and tell me that it doesn't check. Not only does it check, it'll openly agonize over the answer it gives you. And at solving math problems for engineering purposes, it's in the 99.9th percentile of humans, if not far beyond, despite being ~1 year old. In edge cases, it's postgrad level. In the very near future, the successors of today's LLMs will be solving new theorems.

Reasoning models, in general, disprove what you're trying to state here. It's more costly, but they're capable of procedural thinking.
A war is (and has been for quite some time) raging between commercial and cultural ideals of the internet. This is just another battle as various parties renegotiate the front line.

Gated communities are a necessary evil in a world where you share a common medium with your enemies. Unluckily I tend to find out about some only as they close down (like what.cd).

And regarding Discord: Nothing is hidden from the platform owners. When the line doesn't go up as desired, the tides may turn yet again.
I think troubleshooting has a lot of overlap with thinking along the lines of the scientific method.

1. You have to start having hypotheses that you test, but should be ready to throw them away as quickly as you thought of them, when the results from testing it says so. Let data

2. You should preferably think hard about effective way to quickly rule out influencing variables and so quickly square in on the area where the erroneous effect is coming from.

3. You have to really rule out confounders. Make sure to turn off any caches or similar that might play games with you.

The area where I see most colleagues fail in this process is not being stringent enough with things like ruling out confounders and being systematic about organizing the outputs from hypothesis testing, to make sure you are 100% which outputs belong to which inputs etc.

It is the discipline and strictness in the process that will do the trick. Anything less and you will just trick yourself.
> I just wish we would look at the big system and strive to fix that as a whole.

The only long term fix is to move all humans off earth to space/mars/moon/elsewhere, and keep the whole of earth for nature and observation only.

Everything else won't work.

The question is do we all collectively care about the environment enough to all lose our home planet? I suspect no.
There would be no more problem.
Where is the justice in keeping him locked up to assuage a families fears?
apologies for the scepticism, but I'm struggling to see how this took months of work. all you need is a simple web-scraper/API call that generates/updates a csv with every game and its outcome, a very very simple algorithm, and then some code that presents it in a web page. okay you've added in some nice extra stats, but they don't appear to be significantly complex. am I misunderstanding how this works somehow? are you including cup data and friendlies?
> YAML 1.2 is quite nice, and I wish we could fix libyaml instead of everyone and their dog inventing their own half-baked language to scratch an itch.

YAML 1.2 is categorically better than YAML 1.1.

That said: It still suffers from many things that sucks about YAML. From user perspective, it suffers from anchors being a thing (billion laughs attack), duplicate keys, complex object as keys (WTF is this feature even), and loading YAML to objects.

From an implementation perspective, the quoted scalars, several string forms, and huge number of corner cases really makes parsers difficult to write.
Brings back memories. Aztec C was my first C compiler on Amiga 500 way back in 1990. I learned C, I learned vi. Still have fond memories of those early days.
Not your original question, but you should add some random jitter to your exponential-backoff-like delay intervals.
When you say more modern configuration, are you thinking of any specifics? TOML?
Didn't the Oberon filesystem have B-tree directories before HPFS?

And what do you mean by "extended file attributes"? Nowadays I interpret that phrase as meaning "any user-level file metadata that isn't part of 6th Edition Unix", such as ACLs or the immutability bit, but by that definition almost every pre-Unix filesystem had "extended file attributes".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes has a definition which sounds like it might be what you mean? It also sounds like you could easily implement it as a library, though, instead of including it in the filesystem.
It is. But obviously people do it anyway:

I understand that is more juicy to get information from graphs, figures and so on, as every domain uses those, but i really hope to eventually see these models to be able to workout music notation, i have tried the best known apps and all of them fail to capture important details such as guitar performace symbols for bends or legato
I'm a bit confused by this. In practice you can't combine no_std and std within a single project anyway - because then the entire app is relying on the std library, so is no longer no_std. Surely if a user sets no_std as a feature, they expect that to be the case for the entire application?
Isn't that a problem for the vendors though? In lots of corners of capitalism you gave two parties fighting over who pays what. And that's a good thing.
> yet, his biggest clue he went on was supplied by the writer themselves, who he was doubting

I mean arguably it was such a weird detail that one would not have made it up (and, also, if, as you'd kind of expect, there were no branches at all with upstairs tellers, that would obviously invalidate the whole thing).
If you're going to include images, try not to let the hyperlink rot away if you can manage it. Commit messages live forever!
I would expect some custom training was needed in order to address this highly specialized use case.

There are 2 primary uses cases emerging where LLMs are proving advantageous.

1) Summarization --- where the results can be nebulous and it don't really much matter. For example, casual web search.

2) Research based on trial and error where the nebulous results will be subjected to thorough verification --- i.e. this case.

In any case, the statistical results can be nebulous and using them without verification is a recipe for disaster. For example:

We could also be relying on DNSSEC+DANE, where the domain owner publishes TLS public keys via DNS. Without a third party CA.

The main limitation right now is browser support. Browsers _only_ support CAs, so CAs continue being the norm.
Not "minimalist", but simple, plain, neutral: very much yes.

Would you say you get a calming effect from studying the details of a tiktok or facebook feed? Unlikely I expect. Too much going on, too much fighting for attention etc - its draining.

nyquist-shannon means that you only need to sample at 192khz if you need to encode signals up to 96khz.

humans can’t hear above 20khz. adult humans can’t hear above 16khz or so, we lose the top end before age 20. this means that the standard 48khz sampling rate covers the entire human hearing range and then some (0-24khz). any sampling rate over 48khz for sound intended for human hearing is a total waste.

Is there any legal reason why they should comply with such a request?
I am stating that since the ability to solve those puzzles is critical in an intelligence, and the general questions I can think of require an intelligence as processor, if to solve those problems the LLMs "should write code" then in general they should.

All problems require proficient reasoning to get a proper solution - not only puzzles. Without proper reasoning you can get some "heuristic", which can only be useful if you only needed an unreliable result based on "grosso modo" criteria.
I get your point in a way. If we get into details of owning different stuff, then yeah, there are pros and cons of this and that.

Btw, I actually set up a server using Raspberry Pi with 1TB of storage for my music collection to be able to access it from anywhere. Funny that you mentioned exactly this case.

Quality-recognising AI through flagging successes to mainframes (hubs)
Their test time RL approach seems a bit fishy. From what I understand, TTRL works by asking a language model to generate simpler versions of the test case. Once we have the simpler problems, we run RL on them, hoping that an improvement on the simplified cases will also strengthen the model performance on the original problem.

The issue is, they use a numerical integrator to verify the simpler problems. One could imagine a scenario where a barely simpler problem is generated, and the model is allowed to train on pretty much the test case knowing the ground truth. Seems like training on the test set.

The rest of the paper is nice though.
Awesome, I appreciate that. Ok so my question for the researcher would be:

1. Circumstances where both mtDNA and Y chromosome are shared between biological father and pedigreed father. I think the Biblical term is Levirate marriage.

2. Circumstances without Y where maternity is secretly disputable and paternity uncontentious. I think the researcher called this secret adoption.

At distances longer than several generations, is there noise in the measure of autosomal matches such that you cannot detect these?
The text represents a prediction of how a human may respond, one word(ish) at a time, that's it.

With "reasoning" models, the reasoning layer is basically another LLM instructed to specifically predict how a human may respond to the underlying LLM's answer, fake prompt engineering if you will.

There of course is some kind of internal process, but we can't prove any kind of reasoning. We ask a question, the main LLM responds, and we see how the reasoning layer LLM itself responds to that.
I can't imagine stopping loving the child, even if it's not "mine" because the nature of fatherly love is more based on a common bond that starts from zero and rises slowly, developing more once the child starts speaking and they can have a more meaningful relationship.

As for your partner, the State saying you cannot verify whether they have been cheating to you or not is a huge step in the wrong direction. because you can easily check it anyway, but you can not use this knowledge to assert your rights.

For longer, I expect. For a long time email has been partially centralised so for most real people and a lot of systems mail goes out through a specific host (or small number of hosts) on the edge of their network or completely outside it (sending individuals sending via services like gmail, and systems using services like sendgrid, and so forth) so the need to push for IPv6 is less apparent for mail sending than a number of other things. There are orders of magnitude less hosts sending mail than, say, making HTTP(S) requests.
As an employer, expecting all the benefits listed in top of thread (unlimited time off, health benefits, etc) and part time status combined with what is likely a pay rate high enough to do well on part time income, etc. This type of expectation is exactly why you’re unemployed for >1 year. If you actually want work you can find it. You’re effectively being stubborn on trying to sell a $1m house that the market values at $500k. No one is going to force you to lower your prices but the market isn’t sad about your house being unsold for over a year either. The market is moving without you.

I’m sure there’s various nuances to this and I’m assuming you are actively looking for work versus passively waiting for a perfect situation where a buyer loves your house enough to pay a premium but this actually sounds kinda disconnected from reality if that’s not the case.
Yes, unlisted subdomains. I updated my post to be clearer.
I have no regional experience with the tiny backwater corner of the world known as "the Baltics"....but I absolutely understand how my country exerts influence in numerous larger, more important places, with even more significant risks.....and it's by heavily using the tools that I mentioned. I'm not willing to give our government the benefit of the doubt, given our extensive list of malevolent priors. If you are saying there was overwhelming domestic support for NATO, okay, but I'd consider that an exception, not a norm.

Yes, I can see that you have no regional experience, and pinning everything on the US is an obvious attempt to fill the gap with what you have. But you're wrong. These attitudes were the norm, not an exception. Hungary, for example, held a referendum in 1997 and 85.33% of voters expressed support for joining NATO. The 1956 Hungarian revolution and its violent suppression by Soviet soldiers, who killed 3000 civilians, did far more to shape the desire to join NATO than anything the US ever did. It is extremely provincial and backwaterish to fall back on US-centric explanations for everything that has happened in Europe.

Re: 1991 South Ossetia War. Why is it ok for the Georgians to secede from the Soviet Union but not ok for the South Ossetians to secede from Georgia? Why is it morally good for the US to arm the Ukrainians, who feel aggrieved, but not moral for Russia to arm the South Ossetians, who feel aggrieved?

As the USSR collapsed, the Soviet central government employed a strategy of inflaming ethnic divisions to weaken independence movements. Their strategy aimed not to support the separatist groups, but to create instability in Soviet republics and disrupt their ability to form independent states by creating frozen conflicts: ongoing, unresolved issues that would drain the resources and attention of the newly independent states and prevent them from fully consolidating their sovereignty. This strategy saw its widest successes in Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Nagorno-Karabakh, but attempts that ultimately failed were made in many other places too. We saw exactly the same strategy again in Ukraine, when unmarked Russian forces pretended to be local separatists and declared the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics.

Transnistria, South Ossetia, etc remain internationally unrecognized - even by Russian allies like Belarus - because they represent manufactured conflicts rather than genuine independence movements.

A studio apartment in Swedish is "en etta", literally meaning a "one room". An apartment with one bedroom would then be "en tvåa", two bedrooms "en trea".

The real question is why would you need to have these in a calendar to begin with. Public/bank holidays would suffice.
It does mention that, it calls that out specifically.

As you grow, it’s tempting to fix every issue using the ‘cowboy’ method. It’s fast. It’s efficient. It leads to good results. But the number of things that need a cowboy fix grow exponentially, and cowboy fixes only ever fix that one thing, while system fixes fix future issues too. As you adapt from cowboy to drone, it’s easy to skew too much to one side or the other. No matter how good your systems are, sometimes stuff just needs to get done pronto. But sometimes you need to take a step back and trust that the system you built will do its job, and trying to jump in to speed things up will only make everything worse.
