I absolutely love this. I make VR experiences that run on the ICP, which delivers wasm modules as smart contracts - I've been waiting for a combo of node-friendly, wasm deployable tools and webLLM. The ICP essentially facilitates self-hosting of data and provides consensus protocols for secure messaging and transactions.

This will make it super easy for me to add LLM functionality to existing webxr spaces, and I'm excited to see how an intelligent avatar or convo between them will play out. This is, very likely, the thing that will make this possible :)

> He recently got a contract with the State Department for 400 million to make armored Cybertrucks

That doesn't appear to be the case - there (was) an entry on a spreadsheet about 'Armored Teslas' but Musk claims to know nothing about it, the State Department has stated it was just an estimate for a proposal they are no longer pursuing, and the ledger entry has been removed.

So no, not a "contract for armored Cybertrucks"

Here are 4 common funds that are used in risk parity portfolios:

(edit) I am not arguing that that investing in TDFs is inferior solely due to expense ratio cost - the biggest issue is that they lock you in to a specific allocation and re-balancing strategy that might not align with your specific situation.
As a person who switched constantly between browsers (except Chrome, never used it after 2015) in the past 10+ years, I can confirm that realigning the habits are not that difficult. Learn to use the web, not the tool to browse it.

So, switch to something which has privacy respecting attitude or at least tries to have it and ditch everything who does not. It is not just the browser itself, but also the services and tools that you use to do your job: browsing. After some time, you will realize how horrible browsing the web with Chrome was in this respect and how easy it is to just browse the web without a bloated piece of advertising machine.
I'm catching up on the silent film era. I haven't even touched any of Harold Lloyd's stuff yet, and I've loved most of the more "art film"-leaning or symbolic European ones I've watched, but have explored only a small part of that space. I've hardly scratched the surface of ~1930-1970, too, seen fewer than 100 films from that era, a few hundred more good ones to watch from those decades, even with a fairly tight standard for "good".

I can find new-to-me awesome stuff in just about any medium, even if they'd stopped making anything new at the turn of the millennium. Hardly matters to me.
I love Kagi's Orion but it's still not good enough yet to switch off chrome completely. You realize this once you delve deeper, install extensions, and use it as your daily driver.
Heard the same thing from React Native - now some of the biggest (Slack, Zoom, Skype, Discord), most performant (Figma) apps are built on both.

Only way I'd have a take like yours is if I was a native dev, and my job security relied on companies hiring 3 people to lead 3 teams for 3 codebases (Web, Android, iOS native) - rather than 1 team and 1 codebase for all 3. I'd dishonestly dismiss the notion of cross-platform programming only out of self-preservation, and not any semblance of pragmatism.
Ian McEwan's "The Innocent," and less known, "The Imitation Game" have sigint plots, and a few of his novels have spy agency themes without falling into the trap of being genre fiction. Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" was an obvious one as well.

when I travelled in some literary circles, they were always on the edge of the bureaucracy via public funding bodies, universities, or foundations, where you were just above the fold, and so you didn't talk about intelligence stuff because everyone had gone to school with someone who was at this or that agency, and making a point of not talking about it was a social signal. I suspect this is why the material on sigint in fiction isn't nearly as rich as they all seemed to affect to know.

it was ironic, as actually being a civilian in security where at least half my colleagues had military experience with CV gaps for "travel," and who over drinks might casually recognize someone's loudly striped tie as resembling a burn bag, or whose partners had implausible jobs and hobbies, where literally all of our threat assessment work included what would come to be known via snowden as bullrun- we talked about that stuff all the time.

maybe it's more of a plot device these days. I sort of gave up reading fiction when sensitivity readers became a thing because investing time in novels became less appealing. perhaps all these filter bubbles and AI slops will create a new rennaisance in fiction as people search to experience the pleasure of some authentic art again.
Yeah, there are quite a few RedLetterMedia videos that are no longer available because the director copyright strike'd them to death.
LLM/AI had perfect timing
The problem in my particular case is that the bully's group was basically every other kid but me and a couple of other nerds.

The other kids kind of didn't like our quirkness, or our poverty, or whatever other thing. Maybe they were fed up with the fact that we were the know it alls and the teacher's pet. It doesn't matter, but the fact is that we were the object of social rejection and the bully as the leader of the pack of kids, was also the executor.
It's pretty funny, because I can't recall a time when politicians were anything other than "astonishingly uncool dorks." It's their defining characteristic, and why DC is said to be "Hollywood for ugly people."

Sure you get the odd Bill Clinton, but by and large it's a contest between deeply unappealing people, the sort of power-hungry geeks who took Model UN way too seriously.

I'm not sure that "vibes analysis" is really the best way to understand this period in US history, but it is at least a case of Slate playing to their core competency: bullshit.

I personally wasn't bullied, but if I had to live in the school district I grew up in and felt I had no way out, I would have never had kids. It was that bad.

Luckily that wasn't the case, so I do, and a change of scenery helps a ton. The way they describe school now is nothing like when I was in public school.

Ask HN: Any insider takes on Yann LeCun's push against current architectures?
So, Lecun has been quite public saying that he believes LLMs will never fix hallucinations because, essentially, the token choice method at each step leads to runaway errors -- these can't be damped mathematically.

In exchange, he offers the idea that we should have something that is an 'energy minimization' architecture; as I understand it, this would have a concept of the 'energy' of an entire response, and training would try and minimize that.

Which is to say, I don't fully understand this. That said, I'm curious to hear what ML researchers think about Lecun's take, and if there's any engineering done around it. I can't find much after the release of ijepa from his group.

Would you agree the effect of that reach is only further division? Where is the “new” part of the “news”?

To me, this reads like:
Breaking: runners in ultramarathon still running in same direction
stupid question: can a LLM (i.e neural network) tell me the probability of the answer it just spew? i.e. turn into fuzzy logic? Aaand, can it tell me how much it does believe itself? i.e. what's the probability that above probability is correct? i.e. confidence i.e. intuitionisticaly fuzzy logic?

Long time ago at uni we studied these things for a while.. and even made a Prolog interpreter having both F+IF (probability + confidence) coefficients for each and every term..
The point is, that always looking for abuse is maybe not the right model to explain what is really going on.

I agree, somewhat.

> the sub-prime lending crisis had its roots firmly in Clinton-era repeal of Glass-Steagal

Not really. You'd just have very highly correlated financial entities that would have collapsed the exact same way. AIG received the largest bailout and wasn't even a bank.

> they then patched with the inferior Frank-Dodd.

Dodd Frank is why the finance sector was stable despite all the volatility introduced by the pandemic and inflation. The culture of banking has significantly shifted to being more conservative now, and risk has moved to the buy-side of trading, which is easier to let go of. Trump partially rolled back regulations such that banks under $250 billion no longer had to had to conduct stress tests, and bank collapses occurred all the way up to that threshold.
A Tool Nobody Needs
A couple of months ago, I took a short trip to Dubai. Being an extrovert, I struck up a conversation with a guy while waiting in a queue. When we tried to exchange phone numbers, the whole process felt a bit awkward—there was a language barrier, and it got kind of cringe.

So, I built a tool that nobody needs! Now you can create a digital business card in under a minute and save it to your Apple or Google Wallet.

I've called this out before around LLMs - when the act of development becomes passive (versus active) - there is a significant risk around not fully being cognizant of the code.

Even copy pasta from Stack Overflow would require more active effort around grabbing exactly what you need, replacing variable names, etc. to integrate the solution into your project.
> People about to retire shouldn’t be that exposed anyway. Target day funds exist for a reason.

Most research about safe withdrawal rates finds having 50-75% equities is necessary for retirement periods of thirty years:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bengen

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_study

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retirement_spend-down

Of course you could have less, but then your initial withdrawal rates becomes quite low, and so you need a much large portfolio to begin with: this would mean much more saving and much less spending (i.e., enjoyment of life) during your working life.

uBlock Origin didn't have this problem, which is why it got recommended so much.
Does ffmpeg support SVE?
And also, I think there's a positive to say about Lady Bird here, which is that in the event they succeed, that's as much a narrative about an extraordinarily talented and committed developer, And if they're able to put forward a credible browser, it will be a soaring achievement for them. Not necessarily something I would expect as a kind of default status quo expectation.

I think if you get these alternative from the ground up browsers, you get extremely limited things like Net Surf, noble efforts that I respect, but not going against the billions of dollars Google can throw into modern browser development.
No they are not randomly wrong or right without perspective unless they have some kind of brain injury. So that's against the title but the rest of their point is interesting!
Felony contempt of business model! The DMCA and its anti-circumvention provisions bring us a rich history of abuse, including such gems as "Lexmark suing a company that figured out how to interoperate with its ink cartridge business and thus give consumers more ink cartridge options" and "Chamberlain suing a company that figured out how to interoperate with its garage door openers and thus give consumers more garage door remote options".

I admit I don't shed many tears for the poor movie publishers, but even setting piracy completely aside, these laws are anti-consumer garbage. One wonders aloud if there are limits to the insanity copyright owners are entitled to inflict on their customers. How about surreptitiously installing malware on people's machines to make sure they play nice?[0]

Don't they have a vetting process for extensions? Even if they don't, you, the (power)user should be able to manually turn on whatever you want, should you so desire. What's stunning is that we're moving away from this, for our "security." And by then "use Firefox/something else" won't be helpful when entire websites will refuse to work on anything else but Chrome.

Stealth is losing its effectiveness with new VHF targeting radars that can track stealth aircraft. Maybe EU sensor fusion algorithms are not as advanced as in the F-35? They certainly must have some kind of sensor fusion algorithms, if just to create coherent cockpit displays of what is going on in an airspace. Maybe they lack cooperative sensor fusion across multiple aircraft? Are bombers still effective any more? I know they are being used by Russia to launch stand-off weapons, but isn't a long range missile as good as or better than having a bomber? Maybe the modern way to think of a bomber is as a reusable missile first stage so the missiles can be smaller and cheaper. Actually flying bombers over cities/bases and dropping bombs no longer happens, does it? Stealth in a bomber buys you nothing if the bomber is directly above you because the cross section becomes enormous. Maybe precision glide-bombs are cheaper than surface to surface missiles. I think if an army had a choice they'd rather have many S-S missiles rather than many glide bombs and a few bombers. The missiles would be much more versatile, as long as they had enough of them.

I have yet to see a good analysis of the tradeoffs between big expensive weapons and many cheap drone weapons. It seems possible that very soon the big expensive weapons will be seen as too expensive and less capable. Ukraine is making millions of drones, maybe when the are making tens of millions they'll care less about conventional weapons. Seems like making lots of drones could help the EU scale up quickly without a lot of research and at lower cost.

Brand damaged beyond repair. First mass production advantage lost. New buyers dried up and possibly more important previous buyers experiencing a devaluation of their car which will make them think twice. Less integrated than Chinese manufacturers when it comes to batteries. Model pipeline stale, last launch was not a bulletproof hit. Less able to support vehicles in the field than established car companies. FSD based primarily on vision a strategic and possibly deadly mistake. Hostile takeover of the US government regulator a really hard to quantify legal risk. What is there left to like.
