> Both have absolutely colossal egos.

This matters less than you think. Trump has no problem setting aside his ego to further his agenda. Remember his leaked calls with the Mexican president? Remember his submission to Putin in Helsinki? His entire cabinet is made up of people who have trashed him, his own VP called him literally the next Hitler. Trump acts very rationally when it comes to power dynamics, casting off Elon only creates problems for him, no benefits.

> but quite contrary is giving off major "these are my employees" energy.

That's just the vibes you're picking up, Trump doesn't care about this, he's the one sitting at the desk. What he cares about is the unending stream of praise that Elon glazes him with. "Trump was right about everything", "Trump is the greatest president ever", walking around in Trump swag etc etc. Allowing Musk to crash a couple meetings with the press means nothing.

> and he's realizing this isn't the long term advantage he thinks

Elon is all-in, he's burned every other bridge, a Trump alliance is the only long-term advantage he has.

> Musk's "favorability rating" is collapsing (currently -19 and dropping).

Except with Trump's base, where it has climbed from -10 to +50. There is close to 0 possibility of Elon being jettisoned.
> There was so far no measurable negative impact of Brexit

Uh... Disagree.

> On January 11, 2024, the London Mayor's Office released the "Mayor highlights Brexit damage to London economy". The release cites the independent report by Cambridge Econometrics that London has almost 300,000 fewer jobs, and nationwide two million fewer jobs as a direct consequence of Brexit. Brexit is recognized as a key contributor to the 2023 cost-of-living crisis with the average citizen being nearly £2,000 worse off, and the average Londoner nearly £3,400 worse off, in 2023 as a result of Brexit. In addition, UK real Gross Value Added was approximately £140bn less in 2023 than it would have been had the UK remained in the Single Market.[0]

The whole page paints a picture which is far from "no measurable negative impact". While it's contrasted with some areas suffering and others benefiting, it's hard to have an overall picture that looks either good or bad, but it's far from being overly positive. And this is just on the economic topic, there's another whole hoist of topics which have negative outlooks such as security, politics (i.e. with the Ireland controversy and how difficult this situation is), etc.

"Digital signage display" is what you are looking for in this case. I don't think they are cost competitive, though.

hi, here is our new AI model, it performs task A x% better than our competitor 1, task B y% better than our competitor 2 seems to be the new hot AI template in town
Yeah, I think that's a much more interesting point than the title suggests. I think it's silly that writing a program which prints "I hurt please delete me" might make me feel bad... but it still can? LLMs are of course much more complicated than that, but the question of whether they're sentient is somewhat different from the question of how humans will anthropomorphize them.
Indeed, even in "classical chess engines" like Stockfish which previously required handcrafted heuristics at leaf nodes, in recent years the NNUE [1] [2] has greatly outperformed it. Note that this is a completely different approach from the one that AlphaZero takes, and modern Stockfish is significantly stronger than AlphaZero.

>They are keeping it to themselves...

So how would this graph look if it did trickle down? Just curious..
I'm not saying you are wrong to feel distress or discomfort from reading words that resemble human language expressing pain, conflict, etc. -- but these things are just mimicking patterns of human communication.

It's a very clever trick, but it's plainly a trick. We know how it works. It was built.

Rats, on the other hand, have complex inner workings beyond our understanding. Rats are like us. We naturally empathise with hot plate rat. And we don't know to what extent hot plate rat understands what we're doing to it.
As a non-email guy, I can tell you that if a system that boils down to having an (optionally certified?) key requires much more than just putting it into a folder with a domain name and running a service, it’s badly designed and has unnecessary complexity. Which will result into abusers having more expertise than legitimate users. The fact that you can “get” DMARC SPF DKIM wrong, while it’s basically a hard requirement for operation, is just screaming something important to the email software.
Keen to hear more about this benchmark. Is it representative of chat-to-document style usecases with big docs?
That's neat, I've added it to my reading list.

DMARC reports are for you to be sure that you configured SPF/DKIM correctly, not asking you to do something with the spoofing senders (which you can do absolutely nothing about).
...I don't see how you can draw a comparison between the level of consciousness of a clockwork toy or an ant, and a dog. (I honestly have insufficient understanding of the biology of a whelk to know where to place it in this.)

We have very clear research on dog psychology these days. (Nowhere near as much as we have on humans, but still quite a bit.) They are not as sapient as humans, but they are clearly sentient to at least a moderate degree. They feel pain in much the same way humans do.

There's a much, much clearer line between the things in your bullet's first sentence and the ones in its last sentence than there is between a dog and a human.

> It might be an excellent model, but reading the exact text repeatedly is taking the excitement away.

This is the commodification of models. There is nothing special about the new models but they perform better on the benchmarks.

They are all interchangeable. This is great for users as it adds to price pressure.
You don't need an expensive switch. Five port 2.5G + SFP+ with poe can be pretty affordable and shouldn't run very hot.
It is almost certainly the "nebula" model on LLMarena that has been generating buzz for the last few days. I didn't test coding but it's reasoning is very strong.

Right … it’s a “calculated move” to cater to far right, and Neo Nazi groups abroad (ie, AfD).

Can anyone share what they're doing with reasoning models? They seem to only make a difference with novel programming problems, like Advent of Code. So this model will help solve slightly harder advent of codes.

By extension it should also be slightly more helpful for research, R&D?
Forgot this one:

Thanks, I intuited (1) and (2) but I hadn't thought about (3) or (4). I think waterproof mechanisms are about the only time I've encountered them where I haven't immediately despised them for total lack of haptic feedback and lag time between button input and device function--although that probably has more to do with poor system design rather than the limits of the captouch button technology.

My guess is that I associate them with lag because any control interface that cut corners on buttons probably cut corners on everything else, too.

Tesla a meme stock though, it's more about the Elon cult of personality than any real market fundamentals. Its performance is only loosely coupled with the actual car business.

Honestly it's surprising that it's still so high. Compare it to any other car manufacturer and its valuation seems ludicrous. A lot of people are somehow still persuaded that the company is going to have some kind of amazing breakthrough Any Day Now.
Just be warned. You might find you can't get her out of your head.

once I realized money is just time but we don't all get to trade between the two at the same rate a lot of things started to make sense.
You're not wrong, but that just means the <adjective> is where the bulk of information resides. The trade-off matters. Maybe it's a model with good enough quality but really cheap to serve. Maybe it's a model that only plays poker really well but sucks at everything else because it bluffs too much. Etc. etc.
> And we could have had that on all AirPods, for several years now, if Apple were to finally implement LC3 and Bluetooth LE Audio.

LC3 still has 50ms or so latency from what I’ve seen. LC3+ is lower, but 20ms is still something. Wired you can be single digit ms easily.
Man, I hope those benchmarks actually measure something.
I think alienation is more of a bottom-up emotional experience than anything that a top-down argument can really impact.
I'm the opposite. I started making memories very late - I have only the vaguest memories of primary school. I think I formed long-term memories at around 10 years old.
> This sort of thing is why every company and every mailing list has a different address for me. Once one is compromised, it goes direct to /dev/null.

It's not just a matter of dev nulling something compromised, but also to make it difficult to know where to send a phishing attack to.

Troy did half of that. He used mailchimp@_______ for this, so it might have been guessed, or leaked elsewhere, and he won't be able to narrow down which.

And if someone sees your facebook@______ leaked elsewhere, it's not a stretch to assume you use mailchimp@_____ or twitter@_____ or...

Should use something totally random. Or maybe first 10 chars of hash(servicename + common salt) so you don't have to keep track of too much. Or something similar with encrypt the service name with your GPG key and take the first 10 ascii of the output.

Google has this habit of 'releasing' without releasing AI models. This looks to be the same?

I don't see it on the API price list:

https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing

I can imagine that it's not so interesting to most of us until we can try it with cursor.

I look forward to doing so when it's out. That Aider bench mixed with the speed and a long context window that their other models are known for could be a great mix. But we'll have to wait and see.

More generally, it woud be nice for these kinds of releases to also add speed and context window as a separate benchmark. Or somehow include it in the score. A model that is 90% as good as the best but 10x faster is quite a bit more useful.

These might be hard to mix to an overall score but they're critical for understanding usefulness.
Any word on what that pricing is? I can't seem to find it
>just lots of people occupying neighboring space and rarely talking to each other.

This is a bitter stereotype that is leveled against both city-dwellers and suburb-dwellers, and, like many stereotypes, has some truth to it in both cases, but amounts to uncalled-for negativity. Some people don't want to interact with their neighbors, regardless of whether they live in a city or a suburb. Others are sociable with their community, and express it just as well whether they live in a city or a suburb.
You’re right overall, but I hate that quote.

English doesn’t have a lot of duplicate words because of some aggressive vocabulary-stealing nature. It has a lot of duplicate words for the same reason modern Nahuatl has a lot of loanwords from Spanish: England was colonized and ruled for centuries by non-English-speaking people.
I take this as a good thing, because they're beating each other every few weeks and using benchmarks as evidence.

If these companies start failing to beat the competition, then we should prepare ourselves for very creative writing in the announcements.
In fairness, it's also still a NEW technology in the scale of tech. For comparison, it takes years after a gaming console is released for teams to optimize and squeeze every last ounce of performance out of the hardware.

We're just getting started with AI, and we're still "stuck" in the chat interfaces because of the storming success of ChatGPT a few years ago. Cursor, GitHub Copilot etc. are cool but they're still "launch titles" to continue my analogy from above.

New models are still coming out (but slowing down) with increased capabilities, context windows, etc. and I'm sure the killer app is still waiting to be unearthed. In the meantime, I'm having a lot of fun building my hobby code. Collectively, we're going to morph that into something more scalable and enterprisey, it's just a matter of time.
It's shocking how unhinged scammers can be... Unstoppable farting dog? Seriously...?
It is not a patch. It doesn't require any code changes to OpenSSH.

opkssh uses AuthorizedKeysCommand field in sshd_config. OpenBSD added this config field to OpenSSH to enable people to do stuff like opkssh or instance-connect without needing to do code patches. OpenSSH is really smart about enabling functionality like this via the config.
If you don’t know Towa Tei, you might recognise him from Deee-Lite (“Groove is in the Heart”). Personally, I prefer his side project Sweet Robots Against the Machine. But he’s also an excellent DJ, YouTube throws up a load of clips of him having fun on the decks.
Probably because It is more similar to o3 in terms of size/parameters as well as price (although I would expect this to be at least half price)

This is one topic that Florida man knows better than most: a propane powered fogger was super effective when I was growing up in Florida. They would also do this as a public service where trucks operated by the county would drive by and fog entire neighborhoods. I don't know how ecologically sound this is but it is effective.
It’s not a thing that anyone I know who works professionally in the field calls it. Not for at least 10 years now. Some hobbyists do, though.
That's a good idea. I was using an off-the-shelf greylister that didn't work that way, but I might implement that strategy now that I'm doing everything myself.

Why aren't women allowed to play baseball?
I observe the same thing. However, that does mean that SPF and DKIM are useless (although DMARC probably is).

It is correct that SPF/DKIM does not really avoid spam, because spammers are not stupid and can read these standards like anyone else. However, before SPF/DKIM, I remember that I got a ton of phishing mails with FROM containing "support@paypal.com" or similar. Then came Bayes spam filtering, and that would move legitimate mail from Paypal to spam, because obviously, the phishing mails are quite similar.

This problem has pretty much vanished, because Paypal clearly denotes which IP addresses are allowed to send mails from that domain via SPF and the client can verify the mail via DKIM. For instance, Spamassassin makes sure that mails with correct DKIM and from paypal.com get a massively reduced spam score so that your Bayes filter will not move it to spam. This is hardcoded for a lot of domains (see *welcomelist_dkim.cf).
Ah nice, you've invented southern Europe!

I built a free DMARC/DKIM/SPF checker: https://dmarcchecker.app/. No usage limits, no ads—just a small footer link to one of my other projects. Made it for the exact reason you mentioned.
Opinion, yet somewhere along the line it seems like NASA had the ability taken away to advertise properly.

The article, and the project website have the same issues. [1]

[1] https://swot.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/ground-systems-and-data/

Three major objectives listed:

1. Detecting New Ocean Features (double resolution on undersea mountain heights, heat and carbon transport, ocean circulation at 15–25 km)

2. Enabling Data Applications (?, promote products, facilitate feedback, provide collaborations, design communication strategies)

3. Assessing Freshwater Resources (time varying water presence, flow, hydrology, and detection of possible water areas currently dry)

Personally, in charge of the project, would have led with the last item (3) and reordered the list as 3, 1, 2. The second objective is so vague it seems like a throw it over the fence objective and hope somebody does something.

Looking, it seems like the project is using interferometric synthetic-aperture radar [2][3][4]. Notably, this is actually rather difficult to tell from their instrument list and data packages. Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn) and Microwave Radiometer. Low-Rate (Ocean) Interferogram Data Product, *Radiometer Brightness Temperatures and Troposphere Data Product (including Operational and Interim) [5] The Wikipedia page is quite a bit clearer about the capabilities. [3]

[5] https://swot.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/ground-systems-and-data/

Lots of other cool stuff that can be done with distant, remote sensing, synthetic-aperture radar, with a 15–25 km resolution. List just from the intro of the Wikipedia article. Geophysical natural hazards (earthquakes), volcanoes and landslides, ice flows (deformation and cracking, glaciers, icebergs) and structural engineering (subsidence and structural stability).

Ex: See the waves of ground oscillation ripple away from each earthquake observed. [6]

And the data can probably be combined with other space based resources like Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B from ESA. [8]

SWOT’s orbit extends from 78° S to 78° N, covering at least 86% of the globe. SWOT revisits the same path all over the Earth every 21 days in 292 unique orbits. It also has a microwave Radiometer that measures the amount of water vapor between the satellite and Earth's surface. More water vapor means slower radar signals. Probably can do volumetric cloud imaging over the 86% number every 3 weeks. It's a little slow for weather satellites, yet averaged gives a general idea of cloud depth expected during each season on most parts of the Earth.
I think you may have misunderstood the proposal. Your 3rd party library example would have to write `pystd2025::HashMap<pystd2025::U8String, size_t> member;`. Isn't that stable?

From the post:

The sample code above used the pystd namespace. It does not actually exist. Instead it is defined like this in the cpp file:

#include <pystd2025.hpp>
namespace pystd = pystd2025;
Yeah growing up in the Florida Keys, our county did this on a county level. They used to use DC-3s to fly super low and fog the entire island but it was found that the pesticide was bad for fishes so they switched to truck based fogging. As as a kid I loved seeing the DC-3s because it would mean relief from mosquitos for a long time.

I ran into this helping a friend whose biz emails to gmail recipients were getting dropped; the IT dept of the umbrella corp wouldn't respond. Same to me when I sent the correct DMARC, SPF etc.

(My friend's biz was his own but it shared some resources with a larger corp.)

I eventually realized that the (wrong) DMARC reporting domain wasn't even registered. I did what you'd expect and I soon had DMARC reports for subsidiaries of the umbrella corp. My friend passed that up to the CEO and suddenly IT was responsive.

In the end, it turned out that IT was deliberately blocking his biz emails to his biz family members. After 10 years they suddenly decided that email to family+gmail was risky and that they were going to gaslight my friend about it. Because reasons.
We hoisted the weight way overhead in the field house on a pulley system. One pulley was for the hoist, and another simulated the anchor point that the leader was falling past.
