I so don't know how to feel about beavers. I live in a country where beavers are quite strictly protected, but volves and bears are regularly hunted "to protect the people from them". This causes an imbalance: beavers have zero natural enemies, are not hunted and are capable of changing the countryside. I find myself sympathetic to the people who lose portions of their lands, I am sad for the many trees felled near a lake by my home, I understand why some people are frustrated.

In general, we messed up the ecosystem - the most complex system on this planet and we insist on messing it further by one-sided protection of the "cute" speciess.

Don't get me wrong, I admire beavers: hard workers, creative, imaginative, resilient, with strong families. All in all, a role model for humanity.

I just wish we would look at the big system and strive to fix that as a whole.
"Hey we need money for tools for reasons" Is a pretty common roadblock.
The signal we receive is about one RF photon per second per square meter.
That’s a fair argument. If you truly like minimalism and it gives you aesthetic pleasure then that is your choice.

I think people like to go into cathedrals, museums, travel around Europe, and experience the old world because it resonates with them spiritually and emotionally. I live in my own version of beauty, which is rare today, but I think far more people would prefer to live how I do than the current paradigm. I view minimalism as shorthand for “cheap” that society has foisted upon us in order to cut costs. Everything expensive in terms of time or money that I invest in, I do because of the value it provides me
Bitcoin's Fatal Flaw: Why Financial Surveillance Is Inevitable Without Privacy
Bitcoin was supposed to be the financial revolution that freed us from banks and governments. Instead, it’s becoming the most powerful surveillance tool in history. Every transaction is public. Every wallet is trackable. Chain-analysis firms are mapping financial behavior with surgical precision. And regulators love it.

Monero is the last stand. If privacy doesn’t become the default in digital finance, it will soon be criminalized and erased.

The internet made the same mistake: TCP/IP was built for openness, not privacy. Now, decades later, Tor and I2P are playing catch-up against mass surveillance. Monero is trying to fix Bitcoin’s mistakes before history repeats itself.

We are at a crossroads. If Bitcoin remains transparent by design, financial surveillance will become irreversible. If Monero gets crushed, there is no Plan B.

I wrote a deep dive into this issue—how we got here, what happens next, and why this moment is critical. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Is there something similar in French? Preferably from French/English to simplified French?
A hallucination is often an indication that the model doesn't know something. Then, the internal signal gets dominated by noise from the seeded training weights. Efforts to eliminate hallucinations with a single model have found success by asking the same question in different ways and only taking answers that agree. Logically, you could get more durable results from multiple models on the same prompt.
This is great. I would worry that the link may detract from your point. I feel like when you discuss this stuff you have to come across as extra mature and boring otherwise people tweak.

Really good project and well executed.

> and shaped like apes

Actually, we aren't. Apes have a body built for climbing trees. (Like all primates.) Homo sapiens definitely doesn't. It's one of nature's big unsolved mysteries how that came to be.

But as always these discussions are just a vehicle for making facile political points, talking about science is a distant second.
It doesn't matter much to the anti-immigrant people if the Constitution applies to non-citizens or not... the deported will have a lot of trouble filing lawsuits to overturn any rulings due to being locked up or in another country, and anybody else filing on their behalf would lack standing.
Me and my friends still make goatse jokes today. But the shock stuff is nowhere near as bad as the politics today IMHO.

I grew up on IRC back when 9/11 happened. We'd talk about how radicalized the mujahideen were. And it was puberty, we went from Nickelodeon to C&C Generals. That was the politics, plenty of caricatures, but the caricatures were a safety barrier.

These days it's completely common for one party to be radicalized against another party. Words like genocide and dictator are thrown about regularly. People cheer when a CEO is murdered. This is akin to people cheering for the suicide bombers back then. I mean, the Internet I'm in is already cheering for Hamas, even on the videos of Hamas blowing up ambulances.

The old internet was a spectator violence internet, but the new internet is about violent participation. If it keeps up, we'll likely see more things like the Capitol Attack, all these things that make for great television.
For me these little quirks of vintage tech are always fascinating

I'm aware of one game that the company I worked for made that nearly released and that would have broken every GameCube that played it, Nintendo had to pull 50k discs from distribution just before they were sent to retailers and destroy them.

The issue was that one programmer used an unauthorized system call to make the disc drive spin twice as fast, as they thought it was a great way to resolve some of the data streaming issues the game had. And yeah it worked - but after few hours of playing it would kill the GameCube. It wasn't really noticed because no one tests the game on actual discs right until actual gold master is made(usually), and then when the devkits died it was considered a random hardware fault and Nintendo just replaced them.

The only thing that is genuinely weird is having four different certificate stores on a system, each with different trusted roots, because the cabals of man-children that control the WebPKI can't set aside their petty disagreements and reach consensus on anything.

Which makes sense, because that would require them all to relinquish some power to their little corner of the Internet, which they are all unwilling to do.

This fuckery started with Google, dissatisfied with not having total control over the entire Internet, deciding they're going to rewrite the book for certificate trust in Chrome only (turns out after having captured the majority browser market share and having a de-facto monopoly, you can do whatever you want).

I don't blame Mozilla having their own roots because that is probably just incompetence on their part. It's more likely they traded figuring out interfacing with OS crypto APIs for upkeep on 30 year old Netscape cruft. Anyone who has had to maintain large scale deployments of Firefox understands this lament and knows what a pain in the ass it is.
That's kind of what I was thinking... do you have an insight as to why they're doing that? For mid-sized firms there's a lot of modeling around risks: possible demand issues, possible interest rate rises, comparison to competitors - I am skeptical that this can cover all of it.

For hobbyists, I don't think that most of them strictly want to go through all these fillings. You could likely deliver "dumber" results, providing just bullet points on what's particularly interesting about a specific ticker.

Just as a heads-up, I am not attacking your product, it's just that the financial industry is very broad and you have to be mindful about your target audience. I have simply seen quite a few products that are "LLM with dataset X" fail because they don't integrate nicely with preexisting workflows.
If you want small and cool, Wasmtime should be mentioned. It’s a WebAssembly runtime to it can only run WebAssembly programs, which narrows the set of programs that can be executed. However, if you can get your program in WebAssembly then Wasmtime is very cool. Startup time is a few ms versus hundreds of ms for Docker. Memory usage is also orders of magnitude less. And security guarantees are similar.
> don't have a whole lot of time or energy

I get this but I'm not really talking about making sacrifices or having people who don't have time spending a lot of it. I'm just wondering why not even those that seem to have a lot of time and mental fortitude seem to discuss or be able to come up with alternative ideas that people pick up and can work with.
Some developers never really learn to actually program. This is largely due to chasing fashions. In the past this has been around things like Java Spring or JavaScript React. Instead of learning to write original software they get really good at using a tool. Now the new fashion is expecting AI to do it for them. When people build their careers around this it’s all they can do and never dig deeper. This works well for seeking employment, but doesn’t allow for practical skills growth.

Problem is the latter group includes Ycombinator and their investors. The hypocrisy is many are actively meddling with politics and working with the current administration.
It's called accountability-laundering and in this case it's a feature.
I haven't watched that space very closely but IMO ViTs have a great potential to extract from since in comparison to CNNs they allow the model to learn and understand complex relations in the data. Where this matters, I expect it to matter a lot. OCR I think is not the greatest such example - while it matters to understand the surrounding context, I think it's not that critical for performance.

Doesn't it use a ton of power? I've found that power outlets on planes rarely work.

I'm also pretty sure airline staff wouldn't allow you to keep a big weird electronic device on your lap (?) for the duration of the flight.
The question to me if you can call that deduction in that case. Isn't it just a type of pattern matching that fits this particular task?
I don't see why any of that makes logical sense. These models require such enormous training data that they pretty much MUST use the same training data to a very large degree. The training data itself is what they spit out. So "hallucinations" are just the training data you get out, which is the entire point of the models in the first place. There is no difference between an hallucination and a correct answer from the perspective of the math.
> magine trying to reverse-engineer the complex, often unexpected patterns and behaviors that emerge from simple rules. This challenge has inspired researchers and enthusiasts that work with cellular automata for decades.

Can someone shed some light on what makes this a problem worth investigating for decades, if at all?
Your example doesn't seem that difficult to me.
Which is strange, because it’s rather trivial. You make your machine inside out. Now the entire universe is on the inside of it, so all energy it gets from external sources is technically on the inside.
This is one of the situations where the ideal is in pretty easy reach. 5 minute conversation when handing out tickets. "Hey [insert employee number here] - how are you thinking about doing this ticket?". Or check in with them during standup.

That one question and a few minutes will both save hours of time and get better quality work. Letting the dev put time into work that gets redesigned in the PR is questionable management. Not the end of the world if it happens every so often but it suggests a lack of context in the job. If there is time to redesign during the PR there was time to think through what was acceptable quality before the work started.

>Isn’t language by itself linear.

We've known that language is hierarchal, not linear for hundreds of years at this point.
The point of these meaningless dictionary changes isn't to solve anything. It's to give plausible deniability to asshole behaviour through virtue signalling.

Crazy assholes will argue along the lines that it is an insignificant inconvenience and hence anyone who uses the old language must use it maliciously and on purpose, because they are ableist, racist or whatever.

This then gives assholes the justification to behave like a biggot towards the allegedly ableist person. The goal is to dress up your own abusive bullying as virtuous, even though deep down you don't actually care about disabled people.
This is awesome. Have you seen / heard of any benchmarks where the data is actually a structured JSON vs. markdown?
Our goal is to benchmark on real world data. Which is often more complex than plain text. If we have to make the benchmark data easier for the model to perform better, it's not an honest assessment of the reality.
I suspect you are better at architecture now than you were 15-20 years ago, such that you don’t have to struggle over how to solve many complex problems. The solutions and their planning are likely fluid now and quickly envisioned. That is something to comes from years of practice problem solving.

Not everyone has that though, even among people who claim to be well experienced. If those among us are aging and never fully developed the skills to save on manual effort they will likely appear as if in decline. Others that continue to find news ways to deliver higher quality at ever decreasing costs will continue to demonstrate superior value.

> All it takes is practice to maintain and improve them!

That is largely true for anything in that maintenance costs less than recovery and maintenance costs more than original solution delivery for someone well practiced at delivering original solutions. Not everyone invests in the practice to do this though.
