>Probably people have felt this way throughout all of history but this time seems different.

There’s good comedy in recognizing how you feel about it isn’t unique in time and then following up with thinking this time it’s different.

Everyone thinks this time is different. The kids think they’re the first ones to really want change and the old folks thinks this new generation is really the bad one. The kids are rebelling against you and when you were a kid you weren’t paying enough attention to understand what was going on in the world.

If the world stayed the same and you thought the same way as you did when you were a kid and the next generation thought the same way as you do now, we’d still be living as animals.
Not as a serious other-side but I knew an engineer associated with ARUP and during the time of Canary Wharf being in design, the plenum spaces were re-sized twice as a function of emerging pre-fibre burdens.

I believe now, there is probably the equivalent of 3 or more floors of unused space, consumed by oversize plenum in the light of emerging fibre.

I do believe fibre probably is a sensible end road for "small enough" and so pulling more of it, for the same radial bend and cable diameter probably makes sense.

Also bear in mind "re clocking" by tuning the lambdas and deploying new lasers is a thing. That 100 pair fibre can be re-clocked across it's lifetime and be the equivalent of 1000 pairs in equivalent bandwidth, by the time you're done.

This is 100% off-topic but:

Is it just me or does Ars keep on serving videos about the sound design of Callisto Protocol in the middle of everything? Why do they keep on promoting these videos about a game from 2022? They've been doing this for months now.

MS flat out refuses to unblock our IP on their "outlook protection" racket despite many attempts through their self-service website.

Our IP is the same for the last ... ~5 years now? Is it because we did not buy a /24? is it because we are so small they have no real reputation data? who knows!
My experience with suburbs is different from yours. I have lived in places where walking is downright dangerous because the architecture is oriented around cars and the drivers are not accustomed to yielding to pedestrians.

Many homes are designed such that the inhabitants rarely use the front door, using only the garage.
I worked as a Technical Sales Engineer and have been a Software Engineer for three years. I’ve realized many technical professionals overlook the importance of selling and writing.

With LLMs advancing and may take over coding tasks, software engineers should focus on skills like selling, writing, and problem-solving.

"Peasant" would exist on a spectrum: some think Luke was a physician and thus literate. Peter was a fisherman and probably illiterate, but it was certainly possible to dictate someone who could write.

Remember also that oral tradition was a thing as well in many societies:

I have started doing this more,, the problem is however that I suck at marketing, I hate being too direct, so posting the odd interesting project or nugget of information on my website to maybe get a few more of my books sold or get some nice gig work in areas I like is the way I go.

As my paid work runs out and I get more towards retirement I guess I will start moving on to documenting some hobby projects, I don't see any down-side to it except running out of interesting things to talk about.

Of course nobody will visit your site unless you post it around, kind of a catch 22.

I'm super excited for all the free money and data our new AI written apps will be giving away.
This top to bottom drawing – does this tell us anything about the underlying model architecture? AFAIK diffusion models do not work like that. They denoise the full frame over many steps. In the past there used to be attempts to slowly synthetize a picture by predicting the next pixel, but I wasn't aware whether there has been a shift to that kind of architecture within OpenAI.
Precisely. I moved around quite a bit as a kid, so I got a more wholistic picture of the public education system than most. I’m not sure I met a single teacher that wasn’t overworked. In the richer areas teachers typically wanted to teach; in the poorer areas even that often wasn’t true (An issue of filtering and work environment, not a personal failing thing). I once had a history teacher who only showed movies for the entire year I had her. With us placated, she’d go lounge in the corner. But even the teachers who gave a damn couldn’t do much with the absurd ratios; it was impressive they even managed to keep kids in their seats and fights from breaking out.

Any time the instinct to further police kids in schools arises, I get defensive. I know what that environment is like for the kids in it, and anyone would look for an escape while trapped in there. Schools right now function as weird little child prisons, somewhere to put kids while their parents (those who aren’t rich enough to do otherwise) go to work. If the schools aren’t gonna get any better (certainly not under this administration), then why bother taking away the coping mechanisms people have available?

>I could argue the very same about americans towards Europe. With Europe aiding the US in tradewars against japan, etc. actual wars in iraq, afghanistan, dealing with the fallout of that, etc Going against it's own foreign policy desires to appease the whims of [insert new administration] like a good set of vasals.

If you were such good vassals, why didn't you increase defense spending back when Bush and Obama requested that?

>But basing your foreign policy on internet commenters is so deeply incredibly inane.

I don't see other Europeans arguing against the internet commenters we are talking about. I think these comments are rather representative of European opinion, actually. In any case, I think if Europe wants to repair the relationship, it would be good to know that internet discourse is contributing a lot to the current situation. European users were in the habit of insulting the US long before American users started insulting Europe.

It's not just me who thinks this way. Here's a post I happened to see on Substack just the other day: https://terry264.substack.com/p/europe-youre-on-your-own

Do you think Trump administration officials like Pete Hegseth and JD Vance aren't reading this stuff? They're part of the younger generation that lives on social media. They read it, and they draw inferences about how their counterparts in Europe regard the transatlantic relationship.

>And get this. If you're hegemon you attract more slack no matter what you do. In many ways it involves being the geopolitical schoolyard bully and trump just makes that overtly clear. But it's not like protecting the dollars reserve currency status or any other such thing was something that didn't happen before and is now just being done to spite BRICS internet commenters.

I'm allowed to want to stop being hegemon. Maybe Europe can be hegemon next. You can see how much fun it is ;-)

>Like what's next? Want to go to war in the middle east again because they dislike you?

No, I don't want to go to war. I just don't believe in voluntarily supporting people who disdain me.
> already built into Firefox devtools. Why is a whole new browser warranted?

Have you seen the state of the (lack of) competition in browser markets these days? Even Firefox (via Mozilla's new EULAs) has stopped caring about your privacy.

More competition in the browser and browser tooling space is absolutely warranted.

Individuals do too. Tools like https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai make it simple to obtain public content but also paywalled content including ebooks, forums and more. I doubt these folks are trying to do a DDoS though.
(Shrug) It's common for less-than-foundation-level models to be released every so often. This is done in order to provide new options, features, pricing, service levels, APIs or whatever that aren't yet incorporated into the main model, or that are never intended to be.

Just a consequence of how much time and money it takes to train a new foundation model. It's not going to happen every other week. When it does, it is reasonable to announce it with "Announcing our most powerful model yet."
Great to hear you have been using it for that time! I’m actively working on this. If you would like to try out some changes you can contact me through the app (settings) and I can send you a beta
Surprised that the emphasis is on UI. I was expecting it to be more fundamental than that and look at how the experience gained from Jenkins could be used basically rebuild and reimagine from the ground up.

Maybe the JenkinsX experience was enough. Never heard of anyone actually using it, although it still looks to be active.

1080p30 at ~10 Mbps isn't a low bitrate unless you are aiming for something very specific. Not to mention there is H.265 hardware encoder inside Intel Arc, although I have no idea about their quality. Nvidia seems to do a much better job in this area.

Ah, Pascal's Wager.

There's a small chance that you giving me $100 matters, so surely I'm going to find a check in my mail box next week, right?
Synthetic and natural rubber are polymers that break down into smaller polymer particles (usually—whether synthetic or natural—this would strictly be micro-rubbers rather than micro-plastics, but other than the former being elastic, they have pretty similar properties and issues, and micro-plastics seems frequently to be used in a way which includes rather than being distinguished from micro-rubbers.)

Most things aren't in a massive boom and most people aren't that involved in AI. This is a rare example of great communication in marketing - they're telling people who might not be across this field what is going on.

> Why would they publish a model that is not their most advanced model?

I dunno, I'm not sitting in the OpenAI meetings. That is why they need to tell us what they are doing - it is easy to imagine them releasing something that isn't their best model ever and so they clarify that this is, in fact, the new hotness.

The opinion polls I see show a large majority are against conscription.
> Which I'm assuming is in a university setting, yes? In which case, I would also assume that at least a majority of the students in your class actually want to be in school somewhat.

In the US, it is maybe not completely wrong that a majority of college students want to be in school, but it is definitely wrong that a majority of the students in a given typical teacher's typical course want to be in that class (possibly unless it is a major-only course).
I suppose a different claim strikes me as false. "should have been deemed classified at the time they were sent" is one thing, "there was, in fact, confidential stuff in there" is a different thing.

I think a decent case can be made that one rounds up to the other, but I guess that case seems more like an argument to be made than a fact to be corrected.
But this is an unfounded conspiracy theory you’ve made up.

There is no evidence, reporting etc that says the government has deliberately compromised the government’s own secure systems. And for what purpose is beyond me.

Do not try this at home. Article says:

Two different hydrogels, blank-SA and 2dDR-SA, were prepared by simple manual mixing of the constituents in autoclaved sterilized water at RT by using a spatula.

The 2dDR-SA hydrogel was composed of 1.4 g sodium alginate (6.416% w/w), 250 mg propylene glycol (1.146% w/w), 82.5 mg of 2-phenoxyethanol (0.375% w/w), and 86.62 mg of 2-deoxy-D-ribose sugar (0.394% w/w) in 20 mL water. The prepared hydrogels (blank-SA and 2dDR-SA) were stored in glass vials at RT.

For FTIR and 2dDR release studies, 10 mL each of blank-SA and 2dDR-SA hydrogels were poured into Petri dishes (100 × 15 mm) and covered with a perforated aluminum foil. These were frozen at −20°C for 20 h and then placed in Labconco’s FreeZone (4.5 L) at −105°C for 24 h. These freeze-dried hydrogels (FD-blank-SA and FD-2dDR-SA) were stored at RT until used for analyses.

I don't know why they freeze-dried them.

While the motivations may be AI related the cause of the problem is the first and original type of non-human person: corporations. Corporations are doing this, not human persons, not AI.
I’m reading your comment on a mobile right now.
Actually, the article makes a point of demonstrating how subjective the strike zone is.

'The interpretation of the strike zone is notoriously subjective and varies with each umpire. For example, human umpires often call a strike if the ball crosses the plate in the rear corner. However the automated ball-strike system uses an imaginary plane that bisects the middle – not the front or the rear – of home plate.

There are more complications. Since every player has a unique height, each has a unique strike zone.'
In the visualization on your site, I see some curvy arrows linking between two different branches of the conversation. Does that mean anything in the context of the chat with the LLM? Or is it like some detected similarity between the two nodes that was determined after the chat occurred?
The threats of the 20th century were not that specific. Unless you lived in a particularly sheltered part of the world, your neighbors (the people you knew) were the threat. They supported a different world order, and if the right (or wrong) situation arose, they were often ready to kill you to further their goals.

Capitalism, industrialization, and urbanization had left many people behind. Communism and fascism arose as responses to that, along with more moderate ideologies that ended up joining forces with capitalism. Today we have globalization and a different flavor of capitalism, with a new set of ideologies offering solutions to those who were left behind.

https://tasks.org/ meets every requirement you list.

With one exception, as I don't know what you mean by "Visible in my taskbar and stuff like need". I don't have a taskbar on my phone, but if you mean on a desktop, then I solve that using sync. I access synced tasks with desktop apps, which this is not. I also share one synced task list with my spouse. Other phone integration I use is having multiple task widgets on my home screens.

All of my personal reminders and tasks are tracked in this app. I use a lot of recurring tasks. While it doesn't explicitly count days overdue, it does show and can sort by due date, and can (re-)trigger notifications X days past due.

Chances are your plants don't need watered every 2 days. If you're actually married to the exact implementation you described, carry on and good luck! Otherwise, having learned from my share of drowned plants and as I read those requirements, they'd be met by a task recurring for a due date 4-10 days after completion and a start date 1-3 days before due, so you'd not see it again until a few days after it was last completed and have some days in which to complete it, where this repeats as desired regardless of when it actually gets done. This is a common pattern for me, such as my "check tire pressure" task recurring X weeks after completion. The start date controls how many days before that next due date that it starts being shown again, I do not worry about it going negative, and, after the start date, I get a location-based notification when at the location where I normally complete the task.

Surprised at how crawling as a whole seems to have taken a sustained step backwards with old best practices that are solved being new to devs today?

I can't help but wonder if big AI crawlers belonging to the LLMs wouldn't be doing some amount of local caching with Squid or something.

Maybe it's beneficial somehow to let the websites tarpit them or slow down requests to use more tokens.
