I'm studying the Q31 (BSc Maths) on Open University.

I can second this recommendation. The maths books are _excellent_.

It's hard to explain how, but let me try: most of the maths textbooks I possess (plenty of them) are written with the assumption that you attend lectures at a classroom and use them for extra material/exercises/reference.

The OU books are written with the assumption that you learn from them as the primary material, so they go a lot further with regard to explaining things as well as producing them from first principles.
Curse was becoming more popular than TS at the time, but Discord offered a better quality of audio and stable connection. That's why my group of friends migrated to Discord around 2016.
It's a donation towards the greater good of Europe, so up to a certain amount I am absolutely for it. I have no say in taxation in the first place (well, indirectly through voting, but you know what I mean).

60% is excessive though, and would make it impossible for people to pay bills. That's detrimental for the future of Europe :)

They have the most to lose personally. The rank and file can slither away, but once you’re up in the organization it’s hard to pretend that you’re an innocent.

People attracted to this stuff tend to be fairly dysfunctional as well. Even in successful revolutionary movements, the early people always get purged.
you missed my point.

I know all about rl. Ive read go-explore 1/2, and I have personally implemented intrinsic curiosity.

I was just commenting on what rhe other person said, which is that it would be cool to have the npcs be agents that battle and train too, to which you said they could not be made to, to which I say, we have the technology. :)

Their insignia has the germanic wolf that is clearly meant to resonate with WW2 german, Nazi military symbolism. In its early days they had leaders that were overt Neonazis. No one is denying that, and I have no love for the far-right. But, what extreme acts of injustice have they committed? Have they been less than adamant defenders of their home, from an invasion with genocidal, maximalist goals, of all things? The only extreme things they've done is extreme sacrifice, as far as I can tell.

I might be wrong, there might be things I've not heard of. If that's the case, inform me. What I do know is that they're a notoriously effective brigade in the Ukrainian military and that any argument about their focus not being on the defence of Ukraine's statehood would be very hard to make. I also know that their checkered past has been a goto subject for Russian propaganda campaigns, aiming to divide the West.

I'm not more of a supporter of this brigade, than anyone else fighting for Ukraine. I am from the Baltics. For us, Russia is an existential and immediate threat. When the new US administration reneged on support for Ukraine and, by extension, us, literally every woman that's close to me said she's worried about war. You probably don't know what that's like. Our anxiety for the future is palpable. That motivates me to speak up.
I fell as a child and the damage killed two adult teeth before they could grow so I still have two baby teeth. My dentist without fail reminds me I’ll need implants eventually and I always say I’m holding out till they can just regrow my teeth. Who knows maybe my case has scar tissue that would prevent this method from working but I’ll excitedly mention this to my dentist at the next visit.

> So I can't just make a conditional in my config to go through TS instead of local network based on that

Tailscale can do hairpinning, so you may find you don't need a conditional config.
Not GP, but in my opinion the reason why the license restriction is so important is that otherwise very few people will be able to try it. Huggingface or other commercial providers cannot put it up online (even if they didnt charge for the use, these entities might benefit from publicity so they might need to negotiate with AMD). I am not sure if this model will make it to the lmsys leaderboard either unless AMD helps provide an API endpoint and allows them to use it. If you install it in an HPC center for non-industry researchers you have to trust the new AMD codes (few people will do a serious infosec analysis on them), and you have to make sure you exclude people that might have commercial interests (say a student with a startup). It is not the license only that is slowing things down, but if the license was more general the code would develop more smoothly, and things like vllm might start to support it real soon.
Well, no, I've just spent some time recently on wrangling narrow and wide characters in the terminal emulators (and fonts they use) and I guess I am now somewhat more sensitive to the suspiciously looking whitespace.

Do you know that, for instance, that the playing card symbols in the Unicode are narrow characters, the terminal emulators treat them so yet the fonts draw them as 1.5-cells wide which causes ugly and annoying overlaps?
I think that majority prefer "algorithms" to serve them information, and that is a killer of any other solutions for media consumption, and for RSS.

People do not want to 'hunt' for information, they prefer to be served. This opens doors to tiktoks, facebooks, and other. This opens door to feed manipulation, where big tech can decide what you see, and what not.

That is why I have little regard for "what majority" is using, as commonly it is lowest possible denominator. Often such "algorithms" are abusive, and the take advantage of you, of your lizard brain, and your attention.

I am sure there is no golden solution, no ideal. That said I use mostly RSS, but sometimes I also check the "algorithm" of reddit to check what is happening outside of my bubble.

This gives me opportunity to taste both worlds, and have some sanity and middle ground.

I also like small blogs, than let's say Facebook posts, as the latter easily turn into quarrel, shouting, and small blogs offers insight without much social media distractions.
> What do people find upsetting about Discord? It's free, there's no ads, it's reliable, it has many established communities, it's cross-platform and even works in the browser, supports voice chat and screen sharing.

It's an information black hole, as someone else mentioned in this comment section. Otherwise, it's a nifty communication tool.

I personally come from running and using {TeamSpeak,Ventrilo,Mumble} servers. Started using Discord in winter 2015, it was just trivial to open a browser tab and join a group session with your friends. The audio experience was an order of magnitude worse when compared to other solutions, but the overall UX and ease of use made up for it.

> What I mean is: What innovative functionality is missing to such a degree, that if it was introduces, would make people abandon Discord?

If you'd allow me to, I'm going to address this question from a different perspective, as this post is about Revolt: What could Revolt do that would make me, at least, start using it alongside Discord?

I'd love it if I could self-host a server, place it online and let people find it and join seamlessly, similar to how Fediverse works for other social networks.
They don't seem to be interested in adding this: https://developers.revolt.chat/faq.html#admonition-does-revo...

Other than that, I'd see myself using it to run a workspace. Having used Discord as a work-related communication platform in the past, I've come to find voice-based channels very useful, these seem to transmit a better feeling of productivity somehow. Other tools (e.g Slack, Teams) make me feel kind of "alone" when working. Even if it's just for body doubling, I'd argue voice channels are underrated and actually quite helpful for remote workers.
They are burning the "cards" and "leverage" they had. The trust Europe, West and other democratic countries had in US will take generations to rebuild. And meantime US provoking other countries to ally against itself to punish this behavior. That's just game theory. It makes strategic sense for all other countries to co operate against the US now. Personally, I'm looking forward now for Europe to become self-reliant on technology.

> Politicians, especially the high ranking ones, should have 100% transparent lives

For what purpose? What would you achieve by doing that?
"Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake." -- Sun Tsu
Yup, raise compensation in return, but the price for power should be more transparency. But maybe not 100%.
Even politicians should have the right for a private bedroom and maybe their families as well .. though it is of course of some public interest, with whom the politicians sleep at night.
If I am spending $1700+ on a machine, it is going to be my primary machine. I know exactly what "the real life difference" is between 256 GB storage on my primary machine and 2TB storage on my primary machine. My personal Dropbox sits at 850 GB. It is simple math. It is egregious that going to 2TB storage costs $199 less than buying an entire second laptop. No thanks.
You put this really well. It's been incredibly frustrating to try to understand the mentality of these people, but that's just the problem—there is barely any "mentality" at all, it's easier understood by what they don't consider or understand.
As much as I agree that this forum shouldn't turn political, it's hard to ignore the metaphorical war that is happening on the internet at the moment. It's a revolutionary war for people to take back the narrative that's been imposed on them by the (what I would argue) trans-national, powerful and unelected monarchs.
Data on Discord has never been safe really. I don't know how it is nowadays since my memes have gotten less edgy/dank but you could get banned for private messages for a long time.
I can reproduce this also with Qwant and Ecosia (both using Bing service).
What is "european values", exactly?
It seems to be used to mean something "good", as "democracy" nowadays.
I understand their point in doing this - they want to use it as a sales enabler: they want you to buy GPUs to train their model for yourself, maybe tweak it with some non-free content, and then be able to use it commercially.
They'll blame the liberals, DEI, or the 'deep state'.
Would you point out why so?
Interesting, can you expand a bit on what particular laws you think it violates?
I cannot find anything on the website about Revolt's end to end encryption story.

This doesn't give me much confidence.

It's all prediction. Wolfram has been saying this from the beginning, I think. It hasn't changed and it won't change.

But it could be argued that the human mind is fundamentally similar. That consciousness is the combination of a spatial-temporal sense with a future-oriented simulating function. Generally, instead of simulating words or tokens, the biological mind simulates physical concepts. (Needless to say, if you imagine and visualize a ball thrown through the air, you have simulated a physical and mathematical concept.) One's ability to internally form a representation of the world and one's place in it, coupled with a subjective and bounded idea of self in objective space and time, results in what is effectively a general predictive function which is capable of broad abstraction.

A large facet of what's called "intelligence" -- perhaps the largest facet -- is the strength and extensibility of the predictive function.

I really need to finish my book on this...
At a cursory look, and from someone that's not into machine learning, this looks great! Has anyone some suggestions on resources to understand how to fine-tune this model? I would be interested in experimenting with this.
He won mostly because his opponent was even worse. The US deserves better choices.

Best I understand is that DDG may do localisation based on IP geolookup, but not specific geolocation.

The DuckDuckGo help pages address this specifically:

There may be cases when you want more accurate location-based results like local weather and restaurants. We can still serve results for searches like these (including instant answers and ads) while keeping you anonymous.

To do this, DuckDuckGo Search simply guesses your location using a GEO::IP lookup with the IP address that’s automatically sent to us via your device; then we throw away both the guessed location and the IP address, per our Privacy Policy, saving none of that info on our servers. Our default search experience was designed so that we don’t need to request any additional information than what you are already sending.

This process isn’t always accurate enough; for example, DuckDuckGo Search may end up assuming you’re hundreds of miles away from where you actually are, especially on mobile phone networks that route traffic through a central hub. That’s why we built an option that lets you improve the accuracy of your local search results.

<https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/anonymo...>

I keep my browser security settings pretty locked down, and explicitly reject sharing location data.[1] Yet if I do a generic search (say, "restaurant"), there are ... roughly localised results. Bouncing the modem (and obtaining a new IP) changes the location indicated. I've tested this with several queries that should provide pretty fine-grained localised results and ... as I reset my network connection these move around within the general local area.

NB, I'd written the following before checking DDG's help docs, and my assumptions appear accurate: Given the ways in which IP address location can be inferred, even with non-persistent IPs, I'd suspect that before accusing DDG of specific geolocation snooping.

(The fact that IPs can be and are used as proxies for location is itself problematic, but ... is far broader in scope than DDG's visible practice.)

Unless you've got something stronger to go on, or specific network traffic / cookie analysis, I'm going to call excess paranoia here. Not a bad sense to cultivate, but also one you don't want firing off half-cocked.

> For example, in the US the plumber pays for health care. In Europe he mostly does not.

More like in the US he pays for private health insurance (and/or he is covered by Medicare/Medicaid). In Europe he pays for public health system, something like 5% of his earnings, and he may choose to buy private health insurance on top of that (as many do) because the public health system is in shambles.

100% surveillance would give you all of the backroom deals. The promises of executive positions in companies later on, if just this bill passes..

But, not practical. (I mean, it would also include bank account numbers, nuclear start codes, ..)

Does anyone have a good alternative for storing large amounts of very small files that need to be individually queriable? We are dealing with a large amount of sensor readings that we need to be able to query on a per sensor basis and a timespan, and we are dealing with the problem mentioned in the article, that storing millions of small files in S3 is expensive.
Yep, simplified by removing all those silly extraneous ‘u’s

Do they count on your protection and support (or you,on theirs)?

Do you tell them to just stop begging for your help and protection and ask what have they actually done for you?

The US deserves the administration it has and all the consequences that will flow from it.
Does this feel about 3x too verbose, like it’s generated?
Rather than open or closed source programs, let's have interoperability. Then everyone can choose. I believe Facebook was aiming for something like that with Threads, and was playing to have WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger be open to a specific standard as well?

I fondly remember the days of Pidgin and Adium..
> free speech bans.

Reminder for USAians that in USA free speech has limits and you can also get fined for your speech. USA decided that the public needs to be protected by boobs and Europeans decided that nazis cause much more damage then boobs.
Quality? I see it as extremely bloated, very sluggish and clunky (on M3 macbook pro), search sucks bad and I can not figure out how I should keep track of multiple chained replies (like threads in slack). It's not as bad as teams, but talking about quality seems out of place.
The license doesn't restrict hosting it (and explicitly allows 3rd party access), but might require a license wall to click through. I'm not sure where did you infer that from.

I'm not an AMD employee, so I can't tell about their API access.

People here see student startups, I see tons of non-commercial research networks from where I sit. So the license is not absurd from where I look.
Which law makes this illegal? Presumably the live stream is setup by the flemish government themselves, and they're all public figures acting in a public capacity. Maybe there is something else here, or some detail of Belgian law, but from the outside it doesn't seem there is much of a privacy argument.

It's just the RAIL Research-use licenses. Both the Research M and Research S license.

https://www.licenses.ai/blog/2023/3/3/ai-pubs-rail-licenses

https://www.licenses.ai/rail-license-generator

The intent of the license is to show the techniques used in the project and to provide the results in a form that they can be used to further development of other projects but not be used themselves.

The TLDR of the license is "here's the model and the sources. use it to help make your own models but don't use our model directly"
Design work on the Ultra would have started 2-3 years ago, and specs for memory at least 18 months ago. I’m not sure they had that kind of inside knowledge for what Deepseek specifically was doing that far in advance. Did Deepseek even know that long ago?

Last time I tried QwQ or QvQ (a couple of days ago), their CoT was so long that it almost seemed endless, like it was stuck in a loop.

I hope this doesn't have the same issue.
> Have you read their license[1]?

Yes.

> The terms are really broad and onerous even if one wants to use it for purely non-commercial, academic purposes.

No. It's just legalese to prevent commercial use, abuse of models and prevention of responsibility. As a person who sits in an academic research center, I see no problems at first blush.
As a general rule, I find that the "left" is always guilty of every single thing they accuse the right of doing. They just don't phrase it that way and think that they can control the narrative forever. The narrative, unfortunately, is crumbling and people are waking up. The only way they can stop it is by silencing and downright banning social-media, because that's currently the main vehicle for un-approved opinions spreading.

You have a point; technically they aren't impossible to run if you have enough system RAM (or hell, SSD/HDD space for that mater). But in practice neither running on the CPU, nor on the GPU by constantly paging data in and out of VRAM, is a very attractive option (~10x slowdown at least).
That's why I always try to buy from Gog. They have a commitment that you should be able to download the game, back it up to whatever media you like, and play it without an internet connection. Of course this means you can't find everything there, but they still have a good selection and I think it's an important mission. The internet is surprisingly ephemeral.
I remember doing this as a kid trying to install visual basic and having a very small hard drive in my 386. Good times. Who needs fonts anyway?

But to the parents point we did figure out a bunch of things you could blast away and never use and the system would still boot (help files for example)
Obviously the subtext is that they are faffing off on their phones and not using their presence at a parliamentary meeting to represent the interests of their constituents in that meeting, which is what they were elected to do. Though from that perspective we should also focus some more on the empty seats, then.
That was a proposal that did not happen

Should we dig up USa stupid proposals?
Or dig up actual laws like the USA laws for snooping on people that were revealed by Snowden?

A bit offtopic , is it a lw or rule that you are not allowed to call Trump a felon ? And is that constitutional?
And that is not an excuse to do nothing. Much to the opposite, it should be an acknowledgement of risk, and that steps should be taken to have an infrastructure less dependent on foreign nations. Especially when they are hostile, such as the US right now.
