> Our parents defeated fascism and communism at the cost of great sacrifice. The task of our generation is to defeat the totalitarianisms of the 21st century. Long live free Ukraine, long live democratic Europe.”
As I said somewhere else, Trump didn't win the election, the Democrats drove voters away. This isn't a platform for getting deep into the nitty gritty of that statement but it's true for some many people who either didn't vote (not out of apathy) or switched sides (not because they like Trump). It's a protest. And a hope that the democrats will change, or out of the ashes a 3rd party comes along, because they think (or maybe hope) that the Democrats are fucked. A country of hundreds of millions of people can do so much better that the two parties that you've got right now. I like that option... Get out of the mindset of "I _have_ to vote for these idiots or the assholes will get in". What's the worst that can happen? This. You're living it right now. Might as well use that fire that it lights inside you to build something else. Because I guarantee you there are millions of Republican voters who also wish there was some other option that wasn't the Democrats. That number is growing right now. And when you do create a new party, let it use sanity, instead of looking at the other bozos and just doing the opposite of what they do. Use it to reach across the aisles and pluck out the sane, reasonable people who just want pragmatism. People who respect the need for cooperation, diplomacy, sound reasoning.
yes, think of it this way:
why is it that bathing the Earth with 10^55 Boltzmann constants make it seemingly emit a Tesla?

can we construct a warm winter garment without having to manually pick open cotton poppies?

if we place energy in the right location, can we have slime mold do computation for us?

how do we organize matter and energy in order to watch a funny cat video?

I can second that book recommendation! Dragons Egg is one of the best hard science fiction books ever written.
> while we literally watch reasoning models say things like "oh that's not right, let me try a different approach".

Not saying I disagree with your premise that errors can’t be corrected by using more and more tokens, but this argument is weird to me.

The model isn’t intentionally generating text. The kinds of “oh let me try a different approach” lines I see are often followed by the same approach just taken. I wouldn’t say most of the time, but often enough that I notice.

Just because a model generates text doesn’t mean that the text actually represents anything at all, let alone a reflection of an internal process.

* Do all goblins know all their roles, or is each one not sure about the other two? (Unlike the two-goblin version, they can't figure it out by the process of elimination.)

* Is the coin-flip outcome hidden, or can the player learn a correlation between heads/tails and different reactions? Is the coin flip itself hidden, or are the other two flipping simultaneous decoy coins?

* Are the truth/falsehood goblins aware of the outcome of the coin flip? If they are unaware, what rule governs their behavior towards that ambiguity? Can the liar tell the truth by accident?

* Are the three questions posed to the group simultaneously, or do you have to target your question to a specific goblin for a single boolean result?
If you suddenly force everyone to buy local, by making importing unprofitable, then local prices will rise to match the import plus tariff prices.

You have vastly increased local demand without increasing local supply.

Businesses are forward looking. If they know they are going to become unprofitable importing over the next 2-3 years they will be scrambling to work with local suppliers. Or become local suppliers themselves.

You don't need to suddenly bankrupt, or force many companies to exit markets, to make the transition if tariffs changes match the practical time it takes to make the change.

Businesses are not magical. Local supply doesn't magically appear, it actually takes time. This is especially true for tariffs over a wide enough array of products and materials to impact the whole economy.

If tariffs are on a schedule, you can even raise the final tariff rates higher. Achieving even deeper changes, without the waste of suddenly incentivizing the impossible.
Isn' it just statistical word pattern prediction based on training data? These models likely don't "know" something anyway and cannot verify "truth" and facts. Reasoning attempts seem to me basically just like looping until the model finds a self-satisfying equilibrium state with different output.

In that way, LLMs are more human than, say, a database or a book containing agreed-upon factual information which can be directly queried on demand.

Imagine if there was just ONE human with human limitations on the entire planet who was taught everything for a long time - how reliable do you think they are with information retrieval? Even highly trained individuals (e.g. professors) can get stuff wrong on their specific topics at times. But this is not what we expect and demand from computers.
I have only used 3.7 Sonnet for programming, and mostly with what I already know (apart from 1-2 obscure languages) but I always fed it their docs. It still got some things wrong and took a couple reiteration though, but GPT performed much much worse in this regard to the point of being useless while with 3.7 Sonnet I wrote functioning stuff in those obscure languages.
Did anyone else read this as "stateless and dickless" at first and wonder what the heck was going on?

No?

I'll show myself out.
The worst are the information blackholes created by apps like Discord or Slack.

Don't have examples handy, but I did a round of grpo on a 7b model and it did indeed start to switch between english, coreean and chinese, but the reward was steadily increasing. RL doesn't care what the middle tokens are, as long as the end result gets the carrot.

I think there's still a lot to learn about reward functions (saw a team work w/ just correct output, and nothing else), if you should reward partial success (i.e. code compiles / math outputs a result) or just the final thing (i.e. test cases pass / correct answer) and so on.

Not to mention how to get downstream signals from e2e tasks (i.e. if an "agent" navigates to the correct webpage and finds a "cookie" or something, figure out how to reward all the intermediary steps out of that single binary signal).

And there's a lot to learn in using grammars & stuff w/ RL as well. The problem there is that the libraries are pretty wonky atm, some things work, some things need work, and RL in itself is pretty slow due to having to generate, update the model and generate again.
Google, and so many others, failed to do the logical check: If this was off by default, would users enable it? If not, then it doesn't need to be a feature.

If the domain wasn't google.com, this would look like a fairly sketchy click. At least for Firefox, this isn't a link to an add-on, rather it's a download. While I understand that no everything in addons.mozilla.org is to be trusted, I don't think it's a good idea to train people to install random things they download from weird looking random pages online.
We had an OEM relationship with the vendor. Basically one where we didn’t want to upset our long standing goodwill. The dollar auction is accepted at 100% when you offer to keep 60%, suggesting that the receipt does not consider that an insulting offer.

I'm always curious about the digital rights erosion. The frog boiling in a pot is a pretty apt metaphor. At what point do we throw are hands up and just assume all channels of communication are compromised to the point its public.
> It’s not always clear what is meant by “system programming”. I’ve begun writing utility scripts in Julia; it’s practical now because the startup time is vastly improved. These can be run like bash scripts, with a shebang line that invokes Julia with the desired environment (using the --project flag).

I think it is clear enough. The language must have a small or non-existing runtime so it is practical to write systems that do not ship the same fat runtime on every binary. The language must support compiling to binaries, otherwise it really cannot be used by itself for systems. It must provide access to the available Operating System API directly without the need for bindings (to the extent possible, as some OSs only expose the C API;ABI).

What is a system, you may ask. I think you can define that as anything that can run by itself (no runtime) and perform any "low level" operation permitted by the OS.
Murc's law
If you suddenly make importing much more expensive, you will vastly increase the demand for local supply without actually having increased local supply.

Local supply prices will then go up the supply-command curve, to match pricing of importing + tariff prices. That is a very sudden shift in pricing, it cannot be good for our local businesses who import. Some will go under.

The alternative is just as effective. More effective.

Also, I didn't say raise tariffs gradually. I said on a schedule. If supply can be ramped up quickly here, that could mean very fast. Just at a rate the supply side of the market can actually respond to.
Any word used to describe intellectual disability would be just as hurtful, at least when given enough time to enter the vernacular. That's just how language and society works. Children especially can call each other anything and make it offensive, because bullying and cliquish behavior is very natural and it's hard to train actual politeness and empathy into people in authoritarian environments like schools.
I think rules as a concept are kinda under attack. This ranks really below my radar on shit to care about in the current situation.

I just wish they could provide additional options:

1) have ram soldered but provide also extra 1 slot for LPCAMM/LPDIMM ram. Soldered RAM would be used for GPU but external slower ram still could be used for non GPU related stuff (software) that doesn't require high bandwidth/latency.

2) I think motherboard will have 4 pads for ram and if you buy less 1-3 pads will be just having pins without chip. If they would sell memory chips and provide some tooling/documentations for specialised/certified shop they could solder those. You could still upgrade just not by yourself.
This was an OEM storage offering back when we sold hard drives. We found a software improvement to our storage arrays which resulted in the customer needing fewer drives. Let’s say that instead of them needing 100 drives, with the software, they only needed 90 drives. So, we would sell them the 90 drives, and a software feature key that cost the equivalent of 6 drives.
I'm not a long covid sufferer myself (and thankfully my wife's LC didn't involved long term loss of smell or taste, though still has left other issues), but I am pleased that the issue is still being worked on, and that there continues to be more proof that this is a physical response to Covid, and not some just psychosomatic "all in your head".

The amount of disbelief my wife faced in real life and online was frustrating - I hope this work helps others with ME and from the other post viral responses we are likely to see again with a novel virus.

Thanks for everyone's perspectives. Very educational and admittedly lots outside the boundaries of my current knowledge. I have thus far relied on CloudFlare's automatic https and simple instant subdomain setup for their worker microservice I'm using.

There are evidently technical/footprint implications of that convenience. Fortunately, I'm not really concerned with the subdomain being publicly known; was more curious how it become publicly known.
I'd recommend you take a look at ilert and yes there is a terraform provider: https://www.ilert.com/product/ilert-terraform-provider
That's what I'm trying to say. You judge based on the denomination first, like how protestants use to think all catholics are inherrently evil. That was the ideological war of the 16th century, and looking bad do you see how pointless it was?

Sure the Pope and the catholic clergy were corrupt, but they weren't bad because they're catholics or authoritarian. Corruption was the issue, not catholicism itself nor authoritarianism. To think so is to force a narrative.
Completely incorrect. The market cap of bitcoin alone is over $1.6T, and is an extremely liquid market.

A solution that works is proportional representation (PR) but generally this is a very hard sell when the there is such entrenched support for first past the post (FPTP) within the dominant parties' organising bodies.

Ok now we're getting somewhere.

Can we agree now that no land was stolen? It was purchased from their rightful owners and then, according to Ilan Pappe, ( the one whose book is cited claiming Arab tenants were evicted) who is a known anti Zionist, and hardly an impartial investigator, "often" Arab tenants were evicted.

This is a claim, not an evidence
If you actually check out the original 4chan post you can clearly see that it's about the first season. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it should be about the Endless 8, since you even admit yourself that it would make no sense.
Good point... I don't imagine you have long to wait with the speed of cuts and the 'trojan horse' agenda....
What does that have to with the article?

The article is about a decision by California's South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
> In the context of what OP is asking this is not true. DNS zones aren't enumerable - the only way to reliably get the complete contents of the zone is to have the SOA server approve a zone transfer and send the zone file to you.

This is generally true but also if you watch authoritative-only dns server logs for text strings matching ACL rejections, there's plenty of things out there which are fully automated crawlers attempting to do entire zone transfers.

There are a non zero number of improperly configured authoritative dns servers out there on the internet which will happily give away a zone transfer to anyone who asks for it, at least, apparently enough to be useful that somebody wrote crawlers for it. I would guess it's only a few percent of servers that host zonefiles but given the total size of the public Internet, that's still a lot.
Those are fine tuned
What don't you understand? He's right, and everyone else is wrong. It's simple.
>To be clear: this is not "both sides are bad." Both sides are bad, but one is just useless bad, and the other is actively tearing down the state to sow chaos

Nope, that's just more uninformed "both sides are the same" nonsense.

The Democrat and Republican voting record proves you wrong.

And one side is only "useless" because the other side are obstructionists, and that side can only obstruct because too many people with low IQs believed lies and voted against their best interests.
This is really good information! Thanks for writing it up.

Honestly, I never actually "trust" the complexity analysis. Whenever I find a paper I immediately look for their specific results on an experiment, and if I can't find that I will assume the paper is only of theoretical interest. There's of course still a lot to learn from a purely theoretical paper, but I've always ended up being disappointed when I've implemented something which only had a "good" asymptotic bounds.

It's exciting to see approaches like RL and curriculum learning, which I always felt were the way to go for real self-improvement ~7y ago when training in robotics (openAI gym days), finally getting successfully applied to NLP/LLM to highly boost small model performance.

Yes it is typical overreaction stuff. "Badger baiting is bad, so instead of enforcing the ban on badger baiting from 1835, let's 100% protect badgers". I think there is a popular idea that badgers are rare, because badgers are nocturnal. If you venture to shine a bright torch on a field now and then you will see that they very common.

Whilst baiting is a persistent sub culture, it is extremely niche. I live in a country area, and my life puts me in contact with the shooting and farming communities. I heard of baiting once ever. It is much more niche than other countryside crimes like stealing GPS units off tractors, sheep rustling, poaching etc. None of which attract attention from the public.

I don't want to see animals killed, but the UK is a highly managed landscape. The badgers success has been a disaster for ground nesting birds (especially lapwings, or peewits as we call them locally) , and hedgehogs. This makes me sad.

Then there is the issue of TB. Because the populace, as you put it, are so fond of badgers there has been this appalling censorship of the debate about this issue. In fact for years we had all kinds of groups pretending that there was no link between TB in badgers and TB in cows. Lets have some facts. If a dairy cow catches TB from a badger then it will be killed by the government. The herd will get constant checks and animals will keep getting killed for having antibodies present in their bloodstream. This is because the spread of TB must be stopped at all costs! That makes me sad. If a badger gets TB, it will likely infect its whole sett. It is likely to die of the disease. You can't kill them though, because badgers must be protected at all costs. I spy a logical inconsistency in those two positions.
The big ones are either American or Japanese
Depends on how you perform worse (if you do so). It takes a while for medical errors to occur (in human or automated systems ) and then there is a lag before consequences for the patient, and not all negative outcomes lead to complaints or lawsuits.
The same has happened in the United Kingdom wrt deer and predators including wolves (which are locally extinct) -- a blunt instrument because we can think of no other way of protecting livestock. The result is we "have to" regularly cull thousands of animals instead of letting an ecosystem manage itself.

I can see this working for me with just a little care upfront preprocessing now that I know where it falls over. It casually skips portions of the document, and misses certain lines consistently. Knowing that I can do a bit massaging, and feed it what I know it likes, and then reassemble.

I found in testing that it failed consistently at certain parts, but where it worked, it worked extremely well in contrast to other methods/services that I've been using.
