> We should correlate the "dying" to other times in the last millions/billions of years where the temperature rose tis "quickly"

They’re doing a bad job of arguing a good point. Let me try.

We are objectively in a mass-extinction event [1].The sixth or seventh in our planet’s billion-plus year history of life. Its most-intense phase lines up with industrialisation [2].

That said, we obviously don’t make life worse for all species. Cattle, cats, dogs, pigeons, rodents, roaches, influenza et cetera are doing quite well with humans.

I understand the principles of MOE, but clearly not enough to make full sense of this.

Does each expert within R1 have 37B parameters? If so, is QwQ only truly competing against one expert in this particular benchmark?

Generally I don't think I follow how MOE "selects" a model during training or usage.

Requiring web services and ISPs to retain detailed logs in perpetuity until IPv6 is universal would be one way to expedite the transition.

But personally I don't think IPv6 is ever going to happen. There's simply too little monetary incentive for supporting it. For outbound connections NAT/CGNAT works fine. For inbound connections you can use SNI routing with a tunnel[0].

> because the UI jitter was so jarring at 60Hz

See this is what confuses me.

If the UI jitter on their phone was "so jarring", it's not because it's 60 Hz. It's because the phone's CPU isn't keeping up.

Like, nobody watches a video filmed at 60 fps and then watches their favorite TV show or a motion picture at 24 fps and says "the jitter was so jarring". And that's at less than half the rate we're even talking about! Similarly, even if you can tell the difference between 60 and 120 Hz, it's not jarring. It's not jittery. It's pretty subtle, honestly. You can notice it if you're paying attention, but you'd never in a million years call it "jarring".

I think a lot of people might be confusing 60 Hz with jittery UX that has nothing to do with the display refresh rate. Just because the display operates at a higher refresh rate doesn't mean the CPU is actually refreshing the interface at that rate. And with certain apps or with whatever happening in the background, it isn't.

A long time ago I wrote a python extension to the C ledger implementation that did a basic RPN calculator:

https://github.com/zdw/ledgercalc

And fed it with pile of scripts that extracted bank PDFs -> Text -> ledger entries, and shoved it all in git.

This looks like it some superset of that, but in general I found the files + text to ledger process to scratch a great itch.
Confabulation would be actual false memories no? I suppose some of it are consistent false beliefs, but more often than not it's well.. lapsus.

One token gets generated wrong, or the sampler picks something mindbogglingly dumb that doesn't make any sense because of high temperature, and the model can't help but try and continue as confidently as it can, pretending everything is fine without any option to correct itself. Some thinking models can figure these sort of mistakes out in the long run but it's still not all that reliable and requires training it that way from the base model. Confident bullshitting seems to be very ingrained in current instruct datasets.

Because that is difficult and important, there are tests and certifications. In turn the tests and certifications are difficult - and yes at this point there is extra cost, and that extra cost becomes a moat, which drives up price.

Unfortunately, the moat is both consumer protection and rent seeking business advantage. That is, part of the excess cost beyond the base ingredients goes to protecting consumers, however a lot of the excess cost comes from the fact that not everyone is willing to undergo all of the paperwork and process that consumers and insurance have asked the government to require.

You are not completely wrong, just mostly wrong.

"Pure government regulation" is so rare as to be non-existent in most people's daily life. "Government regulation" is someone's moat. Sometimes it's a consumer group, sometimes it's special interest, sometimes it's a business. Very rarely it is for the government's own sake.

That means ios is not safe. Software that you don't control and was not written by end-users for end-users benefit, but was instead written by the same people who wrote the printer's firmware can send a print job from ios to the printer.

The printer doesn't care what physical connection or network protocol is used, including airprint, and in the case of ios, while you might be able to print some documents without using any software from HP, HP does still have a an "HP Smart" app (and probably others) for ios. Meaning that blocking the printer from the internet does not prevent the printer from receiving updates, and all of the closed-source platforms are the primary dangers as sources of update print jobs.

Technicall linux/bsd are not garanteed safe either.
It's possible for a native linux app to send the same kind of update, but just far less likely without the users knowledge or intent.

You have to go pretty far out of your way to install non-repo software from a printer manufacturers web site, and actively grant it permission to install and activate services that run on their own... And even if you did that, if such software even existed that was not well-behaved, the first time it did that to a linux user that didn't expect it, we would all find out about it and every google search on the topic of linux drivers for that printer would warn about the bad software.

Or just no one would ever actually bother even looking to try to install it in the first place simply because the normal open source drivers and apps work well and the manufacturers software is a crazy mess.

I had a Samsung color laser printer that actually had linux software provided by Samsung that I actually installed just to check it out. HOLY SHITBALLS it was terrible both outwardly just using it as a user and behind the scenes how it was written. Just crazy utter garbage all around. That software, since it wasn't open source, might do anything on it's own just like a Windows driver, including sending a printer update, but it was such junk, and so not-needed, that no linux user ever installs it, so it does no harm even though it exists and could.
I think the collapse of the US as "The World's Policeman", will result in the most nuclear proliferation since the 50s. That alone will make the world a much, much more dangerous place.
> I would also argue the crowd that insists everyone needs Pro Motion is doing exactly what you accuse me of -- assuming their needs and perception must also be everyone else's.

I am not seeing this alleged crowd of people insisting that everyone needs 120hz/ProMotion. This seems to be a red herring.

I am seeing a crowd of people (including myself) saying that we experience 120hz/ProMotion as a huge improvement over 60hz, so much so that we will never buy a product without this ever again (so long as we have the choice).

I furthermore claim that while not everyone is a member of this crowd (obviously), it represents a sufficiently large share of the device-buying population to justify steering billions of dollars of hardware and software industry to support this, which evidently has happened and increasingly continues to happen.

If this crowd were an insignificant minority as you seem to imply, then 120hz displays would be a fad that fades away in all but the most niche markets (e.g. pro gaming), and yet we’re seeing precisely the opposite happen — 120hz displays are growing in popularity by expanding broadly into increasingly non-niche consumer device products everywhere, from laptops to tablets to phones.

> When clearly the market has said otherwise, given Apple's success for many, many years with 60Hz screens.

Arguing that the market doesn’t want/need it now because Apple succeeded without it in the past, is completely absurd — just as nonsensical as trying to argue that computers don’t ever need any more memory because they sold just fine with less in the past.

I think that if we remove physical limitations like locks, banks, safes, RSA encryption or even a warm bath every day, bored apes would destroy itself instantly. There are people who constantly want to destroy or hack someone and if you gather them all in one place there would be a lot of them, and HN (Hacker News) would come from such places. Everywhere, there are limitations to ensure the system continues to live, taking the next step despite being constantly gnawed at and shot at, and AI has accelerated this process.

Wasn't the concern about the ozone layer primarily about the UV shield it provides? That has a much more significant direct effect on human health than it does on the climate.
My question is, when did this fact become clear?

In my experience there was not a specific year. Smaller businesses started requesting Linux in the early 00's and the popularity started working its way in with bigger companies. With time more Linux monitoring tools were being developed and that really helped the adoption as customers had SLA requirements that required standardized monitoring tools. More high availability tools and daemons also started being ported from BSD which also helped adoption. More and more enterprise capabilities meant more customers requested it. Eventually our customers had enough developers using Linux that it was just expected to be an option. There was more to it but this would turn into a book.

Oh but I should add one important driver ... cost. HP-UX, AIX were insanely expensive and Linux was free to our customers since we had a lot of Linux experience in house. Commodity hardware was significantly more cost effective if apps could scale horizontally. Solaris and Windows held a position for some time and then after Oracle roflstomped Solaris it was just Linux and Windows by the time I left that company. This was when commodity hardware and horizontal scaling become more common. Everything I described mostly transitioned from around 2000 to 2003.
