Since we're >5 layers deep in the thread tree, feel free to hit me up off-platform if you'd like to discuss this more. Again, I'm on my phone today and limited in how much detail I can respond in - but if you are interested enough to dig into the documentation and video resources available you'll find the answers to all of these questions and more.
Yeah, probably (although I am not sure) because QEMU doesn't fully emulate hardware behavior, but on real hardware some CPUs may internally handle these state transitions better. I suppose its inclusion is recommended to ensure correctness across all CPUs.

It may happen because without "dsb nsh" (Data Synchronization Barrier) and "isb" (Instruction Synchronization Barrier), QEMU may continue execution before the syscall fully completes, which causes a segfault or UB, but I am not entirely sure.

"dsb nsh" and "isb" ensures correct execution order which prevents speculative execution issues.
No, we typically train any diffusion model on a single step (randomly chosen).
Good. Cheating on interviews is a huge net positive for society. Unironically.
>So while we can image, we can't know what correlates with a high degree of certainty.

I don't think I agree just on this piece, though you are making important points here. We can know, for instance, of visual or spacial awareness, reactions to certain stimuli or objects introduced in their environment, and so on.

You're not wrong on the importance of learning from active brain functions but I think we can at least make meaningful inroads with animals.

> Finding those foundational ideas and basic operating principles

I know a lot of people talk this way about brains and consciousness, that we need to first have our definitional elements before we proceed with research. But I think we often have, as the object of research, closing in on those elements, while gathering all kinds of functional and theoretical data from the mass of complicated noise that is brain structure and activity. We can build out correlations, mechanisms, and so on and close in on foundational elements.

It may even be the case that foundational organizing principles turn our understanding inside out in important ways, but I have never understood the idea that we are stuck if we can't start with such things in hand.

> Where do you get the FTP client and server from without an Internet connection

Until last year, your web browser will usually download files. These days, you have to start an HTTP server. Which is actually easier, because FTP is a messy protocol.

> how do you create a network between the two

WiFi Direct has been built into phones for at least a decade.

> And would you say that this is comparable in terms of complexity with e.g. Airdrop or selecting "send via Bluetooth" and picking the recipient's device name?

On the sender side, the "send via" option can appear in the standard sharing app list. On the recipient's side, you may need to scan a QR code to finish the WiFi Direct connection. Starting the download should be as easy as having the sending app pretend to be a WiFi login portal so the phone automatically pops up the web page.

But if you're just sending files offline, there's always Nearby Share or plain old Bluetooth if the files are small enough.
The OP described it as plugging into mains outlet and then, in the event of an outage, feeding power back into that mains circuit to power every outlet on the circuit.

I think it's fair to assume that between foreign threat actors, the Five Eyes/other Western pacts, and the demand to make the line go up, there's no real anonymity online. If they want you, they've got the means to get you.

In reality that's really no different than the pre-internet age. If you don't want your stuff intercepted, you need to encrypt it by means that aren't trivial to access electronically for a major security apparatus. Physical notes, word-of-mouth, hand signals, etc.

Also, you need to be ready for the consequences of what you say and do online should a state actor decide to allocate the resources to actually act upon the data they have.
Guys who wrote it are ok, they put a lot of effort and that's fine. If I understand things correctly, they were also compensated well. But the effort based on some wrong assumptions makes a product that is flawed. Lot of people then are forced to use it because there is no alternative, or the alternatives are easily dismissed - behavior based in turn on a certain propaganda and marketing. And that part is a disaster. This is not personal, btw.
Does anyone know the best way to get some tiling behavior in tradition DEs like Cinnamon.

Some basic things like notifications, keyboard controls for volume/brightness, sound etc don't work the best in i3wm by default and requires some fiddling on each machine to get it to work properly.

I love the out of the box behavior of my Mint installation and don't want to switch completely to something like i3wm.
I could get even a watered down version tiling and stacking like i3 with keyboard shortcuts, I would be very happy. There is gTile but it doesn't quite work the same way.
Billions of loss is in capex investment and R&D to drive more value. As far as I know, the gross margins for OpenAI inference is in the high 70s last I remember. Profit and loss is not directly comparable to productivity because profit and loss is highly driven by competition.

Agreed —

seeinglogic's article made me think of a 3rd option:

1. Sorta long functional chain where the type changes partway through
2. Use temp variables
3. (New option) Use comments

(Here's funcA from seeinglogic's article, but I added 3 comments)

function funcC(graph) {
return
// target node
graph.nodes(`node[name = ${name}]`)
// neighbor nodes
.connected()
.nodes()
// visible names
.not('.hidden')
.data('name');
}

Compare to funcB which uses temp variables:

function funcB(graph) {
const targetNode = graph.nodes(`node[name = ${name}]`)
const neighborNodes = targetNode.connected().nodes();
const visibleNames = neighborNodes.not('.hidden').data('name')

return visibleNames;
}

For me the commented version is easier to read and audit and it also feels safer for some reason, but I'm not how subjective that is.

You can compute with values that are not discrete just fine by expressing them symbolically. I can't write out 1/3 as a discrete value in base 10, but I can still compute with it just fine.
It has everything to do with breaking laws conspicuously enough to get noticed. I’m sure the guy providing encrypted messaging thought he was doing nothing wrong, and I’d tend to agree with him.

Let’s not pretend govts have no tools. A friend once had their bank account seized by the state of California due to a moderate balance after six months.
>Sure, but then the other side can do the same

That's expected. The other side already imposes some tarrifs (as did the EU - it's BS that Trump's tarrifs to EU are some unprecedented move, the EU already had tarrifs of US cars and other products).

The problem we're discussing (at least according to a parent comment) is that the US has a lot more "digital services" products than actual physical products where EU tarrifs are currently applied.

So, what's discussed is how to tax those (and how to sidestep "but it's a European subsidiary, not a US company" hurdle).

So, sure the US can counter EU digital services by also using the same sidestepping. But it's not like EU has many such worth talking about. All the big players are from the US (Facebook, Google, Amazon, MS, etc).
IMO the architect-leader role is an attempt at scratching the itch of not being able to code. I've worked with leaders that would spend any extra time they had building projects in new frontier tech to understand the nuances behind the marketing, and I'm sure we've all worked with folks that blindly parrot the marketing speak in design meetings.

You don't have to always be building things to be a great leader, but I place more trust in a company with a technical CTO.

>> A 12-ounce can of HFCS sweetened soda is easier to drink than the same size, same brand, sugar sweetened beverage. The sugar sweetened version gives me feelings of done / too much that the HFCS version doesn't.

Allow me to be the counterpoint here: I can finish an equivalent amount of NFCS or Cane Sugar (pretty much the only common alternative) soda with the same ease.

My thoughts on the issue with HFCS: it's cheap as fuck, the human body loooooooooooves sweet, so lazy food developers throw that shit in everything. Yea yea yea, "the live metabolization" and all that shit, but honestly it's the prevalence not the molecule itself. Is the issue that we put HFCS in Ketchup over regular sugar...or that we put so much extra sugar into the blend at all?

I think there are two main factors to take into account:

- If you are in a lower tax bracket, the taxes are almost the same for everyone, so talking "net" is okay. If you have a more substantial income though, there starts to be more difference in net amongst people, as it depends on how your compensation is technically paid, and how much it is. So for the same gross, people can end up with different net.

- People tend to think in terms of what is wired to their bank account. For a long time, most (western) European countries did not have "source tax", meaning you would get your gross every month, and are supposed to save up for the income tax coming end of the year. That changed a lot in recent years, and more often now the income tax is directly subtracted from your monthly wages, which may direct people to talk in net.

> The unfortunate consequence of this cultural difference is that it makes it harder to compare salaries between the States and Europe.

I get you, and that's not just because of gros/net, but also just the general cost of living that changes. I lived in a baltic country for a number of years with half the gross I had in western Europe, and felt substantially wealthier.

> what consciousness is

Probably an unavoidable property that emerges from the sheer and perverse complexity of the human brain, its 100 billion connections and the unimaginable amount of interactions between them, modulated by neurotransmitters + their reuptake, length, amount, location, quality and condition of pre/post-synaptic receptors, axons and other nano structures in the brain...

Comparing this disgusting moist, fleshy and electric masterpiece of nature with something primitive like a """neuronal""" network or LLM was always ridiculous.
i look at zillow multiple times per day so i'm well aware of the local market, so no it's not surprising me. zillow doesn't give the full picture of what is happening locally. zillow list price for vacant land doesn't consider all the vacant lots held by people who aren't building for various reasons nor does it consider the surrounding suburbs etc. or the land uvm holds but doesn't develop (who they gonna sell to? they have more money than anybody). there are a lot more variables than just zillow!

Looking at every other benchmark, it's significantly behind typical big models from a year ago (Claude 3.0, Gemini 1.5, GPT 4.0). I think Google must have extensive LMArena-focused RLHF tuning for their models to juice their scores.

"Weights available"
In theory, this is a compiler implementation detail. The compiler may chose to put large stacks in the heap, or to not even use a stack/heap system at all. The semantics of the language are independent of that.

In practice, stack sizes used to be quite limited and system-dependent. A modern linux system will give you several megabites of stack by default (128MB in my case, just checked in my linux mint 22 wilma). You can check it using "ulimit -all", and you can change it for your child processes using "ulimit -s SIZE_IN_KB". This is useful for your personal usage, but may pose problems when distributing your program, as you'll need to set the environment where your program runs, which may be difficult or impossible. There's no ergonomical way to do that from inside your C program, that I know of.

Although it is worth recognizing that although the Imperial Chinese did have an examination-based civil service, it wasn't examinations on anything actually relevant to their jobs as in modern merit-based civil services. Instead, people wanting to enter the Imperial Chinese Civil Service were tested on their ability to recall trivia from classic Chinese literature. Great if the job was Jeopardy! contestant, less so for anything practical.

I don’t know which text diffusion models you’re talking about, the latest and greatest is this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.09992 and it’s extremely slow – couple of orders of magnitude slower than a regular LLM, mainly because it does not support KV caching, and requires many full sequence processing steps per token.

Ukraine will not agree to both "never part of NATO" and "no peace force". Maybe one or the other, if pushed hard enough, but both together are a guarantee of Russian aggression. Immediately, in the form of border skirmishes, cyber-warfare, and assassinations.

Putin is going to have to think long and hard about what he can spin as a victory, because "undefended Ukraine" is not on the table.

Personally, I'd say he'd be better off abandoning the NATO one. Hungary can keep Ukraine out of NATO indefinitely. It would take some spin, but honestly, he could just claim "Ukraine will never join NATO" and that'll be true-enough for his audience.

It's not unusual for text classifiers and other tools to know about alternate ways to write things with alternate unicode characters. Commercial LLMs see through them just fine, other systems explicitly squash " " to "unicode italics".

I cut and pasted the output of that thing into Copilot and Copilot had no problem understanding what was being talked about.

One summer I was working on an attempted foundation model based on character-CNNs and one topic for discussion was if we should build feature vectors for characters that have a lot of knowledge built in [1] or whether we should expect the model to learn all that at the byte level.

Anyhow, AI sees right through it today and you're not hiding anything by making everything you write look like a ransom letter.

[1] that italic i would have the i bit set and the italic bit set, the Chinese character 狐 has the Chinese bit and the simplified bit and the the h bit and the u bit and the rising tone bit set with something to disambiguate it from the other characters that sound the same
The purpose of the control would be to establish whether the competition is actually any better.

>Do you block your own citizens from accessing sites hosted in foreign countries if those sites/companies don’t comply with your foreign law?

Sure happens, including in the EU. There are some european anti-copyright-theft laws for example, and local ISPs are forced to block some warez/pirated ebook etc websites (you can bypass via VPN, but the "official" gateways/DNS block them).

>Do you arrest your citizens for accessing those sites anyways or use VPNs to circumvent blocking?

Not at the moment. And the logistics do not make it very easy (can't track each individual). But you can sure fine any commercial company accessing such sites, prohibit state infrastructure and any company doing work with your state from using them, etc.

I'm not sure what the objection is. Do you mean "does not make sense" from a democratic/open society standpoint (as if european countries are a bastion of that, and such moves are beneath the legislators)? Or that it "does not make sense" from a technical aspect? For the latter, when there's a will, there's a way.

I also like that C forces me to do stuff myself

I never liked that you have to choose between this and C++ though. C could use some automation, but that's C++ in "C with classes" mode. The sad thing is, you can't convince other people to use this mode, so all you have is either raw C interfaces which you have to wrap yourself, or C++ interfaces which require galaxy brain to fully grasp.

I remember growing really tired of "add member - add initializer - add finalizer - sweep and recheck finalizers" loop. Or calculating lifetime orders in your mind. If you ask which single word my mind associates with C, it will be "routine".

C++ would be amazing if its culture wasn't so obsessed with needless complexity. We had a local joke back then: every C++ programmer writes heaps of C++ code to pretend that the final page of code is not C++.
I wasn't talking about the cost of inputs, I was talking about their putative intermittency.

The argument that was being made seemed to be "renewables are intermittent, therefore ammonia synthesis based on renewable energy must be intermittent, or else use expensive storage". The counterargument is that hydrogen is the overwhelmingly most important input, and it is highly storable, so the intermittency of the inputs can be largely avoided at modest cost, allowing the ammonia plant to run 24/7.

You may not be aware, but we already have hydrogen pipelines coupled to ammonia plants. The US has ~1000 miles of hydrogen pipelines for this purpose. It's also not obvious to me why pipelines would necessarily be needed. After all, the ammonia plant could be built where the hydrogen is stored.

It feels like I'm becoming way too old for all the new computer stuff.
