Pushing FUD on the entire academic sector, that's what it is. Pressure people into absurd self-censorship.
This is solvable in roughly half an hour on pen and paper by a random person I picked with no special math skills (beyond a university). This is far from a difficult problem. The "95%+" in math reasoning is a meaningless standard, it's like saying a model is better than 99.9% of world population in Albanian language, since less than 0.1% bother to learn Albanian.

Even ignoring the fact that this or similar problem may have appeared in the training data, it's something a careful brute-force math logic should solve. It's neither difficult, nor interesting, nor useful. Yes, it may suggest a slight improvement on the basic logic, but no more so than a million other benchmarks people quote.

This goes to show that evaluating models is not a trivial problem. In fact, it's a hard problem (in particular, it's a far far harder than this math puzzle).
Speculation is part of the process by which we formulate a *hypothesis*. We then run experiments to test and validate this hypothesis. If it is found to be correct then it gets promoted to a *theory*.
I tried and it failed repeatedly (like actual error messages):

> It looks like there was an error when trying to generate the updated image of the clock showing 5:03. I wasn’t able to create it. If you’d like, you can try again by rephrasing or repeating the request.

A few times it did generate an image but it never showed the right time. It would frequently show 10:10 for instance.

> At a glance, this looks like an immutable reference to an already-released “version 2” of this action, but actually this is a mutable Git tag. If somebody changes the v2 tag in the tj-actions/changed-files repo to point to a different commit, this action will run different code the next time it runs.

The worst part of this is that this is BY DESIGN.

I maintain a small handful of actions. You are expected to, as an action maintainer DELETE and RETAG your major versions when you release a new minor or patch version. That is to say for instance your v2 tag should point to the same commit as your latest 2.x.x tag.

Not everyone does this mind you, but this is the default and the expected way of operating.

I was frankly kind of taken aback when I learned this. I know for a fact documentation of this used to exist, but I am failing to find it currently.

You can see GitHub themselves however doing exactly this here, with the v4 and v4.2.2 tags matching here (as of today, v4 will move in future)

Who calibrates the calibrations?
The linked article says:

>Imprisonment was not a sentence under Roman statutory law,[2] though detention is mentioned in the Twelve Tables and throughout the Digest.[3] "Detention", however, includes debt bondage in the early Republic;[4] the wearing of chains (vincula publica), mainly for slaves; and during the Imperial era a sentence of hard labor at the mills, mines or quarries.[5] Slaves or lower-status citizens sentenced to hard labor were held in prison camps.[6]

>Incarceration (publica custodia) in facilities such as the Tullianum was intended to be a temporary measure prior to trial or execution; abuses of this principle occurred but were officially censured.[7] Located near the law courts, the Tullianum was used as a jail or holding cell for short periods before executions and as a site for executions.

So yes, as I said, imprisonment is a newer development. Holding people temporarily is jailing. Imprisonment, in the "sentenced to prison for a period of time or indefinitely" is a modern idea. It was considered barbaric by some cultures historically, but it also was just not viable. There was a small surplus of food, which was for the aristocracy to siphon off the top (ostensibly to fund the defence of the realm), not for feeding common criminals.
Historians of reddit have to deal with this on a recurring basis. It's hard when textual refs stop in Josephus and the accretion of centuries of editorial over ur-texts.

Often times people seek to argue by comparison: "we have less evidence Darius or Julius Caesar existed" type arguments about the primacy of contemporary eye witness accounts, distinct from eg economic and architectural evidence.

I am not on meds—my dad is on Adderall but has had some pretty serious side effects so I've been avoiding it for now.

Mostly it's changed my attitude towards myself. I'm naturally a strong perfectionist, which doesn't combine well with ADHD. That has historically led to me constantly beating myself up when I do anything wrong, ruminating over conversations for days to figure out what I should have said differently, and generally being anxious and depressed. After receiving the diagnosis, I've been able to separate "me" from "my ADHD", which has helped me stop kicking myself while I'm down, which in turn has actually increased my ability to stay functional because I don't get into anxious/depressed spirals.

What if the repository has a tag called 11bd719? Does Git/GitHub forbid creation of this tag if a commit exists with that prefix?

What if a Git commit is created that matches an existing tag? Does Git have a procedure to make a new one? e.g. imagine I pregenerate a few million 8 character tags and wait for a collision

btw: Even if you specify the full commit SHA, this can still be attacked; there have been pre-image attacks against Git commit hashes in the past. At least for older versions of Git, the algorithm was Sha1. Maybe that’s changed but an attacker could always construct a malicious repository with intentionally weak hashes with the intent of later swapping one of them. (But at that point they may as well just push the malicious code in the first place.)

I began my career in a classified environment working on government satellite programs.

In my first week on the job, I was told, explicitly, that if I shared Classified or Controlled Unclassified information over unapproved channels, I would be reprimanded—likely fired, or less likely, prosecuted.

It was also made clear that safeguarding the nation's secrets from the carelessness of others was my responsibility, too.

It is mind-boggling that 18 people were on this thread, and none of them ever suggested that this discussion would be better served in a SCIF. To say nothing of SecDef starting the thread on Signal in the first place.

How many other such threads are active at the highest levels of government right now?

Does Chinese intelligence know?

I'm not suggesting punishment, or even prosecution, for the people involved. But the idea that this breach can occur with no accountability, consequences, or operational changes is unacceptable.

Yes and even companies that can request it (I worked for one in this role) have to provide extensive documentation.

A phone must be purchased for us (with invoice with serial no) originally, or it must have been enrolled in our corporate MDM before getting locked. And for a while they didn't even accept the latter.

So even if you are at a third party you won't get away with sneaking these through. Which is good, a bit annoying sometimes though when some of our vendors didn't provide serial number invoices. We now require it but during the first years of anti-theft lock it was a bit of an issue and caused a lot of e-waste for us, sadly.
Andreas Kling – Early Life, Beliefs, Addiction, SerenityOS, Ladybird Browser [video]
This episode is about Andreas Kling, the open source developer behind SerenityOS and Ladybird Browser. He's one of the most interesting people in the open source community as he's set out to build the first non-profit, sponsor supported, open source and built from scratch browser that's independent of any political ideology or big tech company.

Starting with his early childhood and we follow him throughout his life's journey covering so many aspects of his life in depth. It's packed with deep lessons, incredible advice, rich resources and so much fun.

I did this for a long time and then started working with a trainer who pointed out my hamstrings were likely super weak compared to other muscles and he was correct. So I added a leg machine and some other exercises that made my workout hit the muscles the main lifts mostly skip. But I agree, if you want to get strong go to the gym and be consistent. Nothing else works.
I'm assuming this is true of all experimental models? That's not true with their models if you're on a paid tier though, correct?
I intentionally included "a semicolon" in my comment, because, no, even the sentence you wrote is susceptible to garden-path parsing.

You only have room for a few hundred friends in your life. Sure there might be 500 people who live in 5 minutes walk - but that is too many and so you will learn to take steps to limit the number of people who will accept an open invite.

If you are a Hindu living in a small US city you will find and becomes friends with every other Hindu in the city - there are not very many and you stick together. If you move to a slightly larger small city you will discover that there are too many Hindus and it is hard to make friends with them because their friend groups are already full. (This is a real example from someone I work with, names and exact cities not given for obvious reasons)
What percentage is actually broken down into monomers? How much microplastic waste is left behind. Given the reliance on "ambient air" I imagine it's not 100%.

Regardless, I'm excited to hear about progress on solving the plastic waste crisis. It seems better than the current alternatives the article presents:

> "The U.S. is the number one plastic polluter per capita, and we only recycle 5% of those plastics," said Northwestern's Yosi Kratish, the study's co-corresponding author. "There is a dire need for better technologies that can process different types of plastic waste. Most of the technologies that we have today melt down plastic bottles and downcycle them into lower-quality products.
It does because the thieves just want some cash to get a quick drug fix or whatever.

Even if they get $10 for a $1200 iPhone they are happy. And many components can still be salvaged and be worth more than that.

The article goes on to say:

I don't consider that recent, either.

(Nor do I really think "prison camp", "sentenced to hard labor", and "debt bondage" are all that meaningfully different from imprisonment.)
yes, they are obviously to be considered child abusers. thats what I will publicly call ANYONE that supports their own exemption. they are pedos and child abusers, and should them campaigning for their exemption should count as admission of guilt

TLDR: BEAM VM uses busy waiting under the hood to achieve fast response time when dealing with requests. you can disable it by setting a few options in the VM.

Edit: Interesting thing here is that there's no significant latency difference when toggling busy/wait, so not sure why that's the default.

Why? Why not stay in the group indefinitely (or until found) and write stories sourced from a mysterious individual deep in the entrails of the Trump administration? That would have been absolutely specacular and could have resulted in a hilarious purge while the culprits searched in vain for a traitor in their ranks.

The models are noticeably different — for example, o1 and o3 have reasoning, and some users (eg. me) want to tell the model when to use reasoning, and when not.

As to why they don't automatically detect when reasoning could be appropriate and then switch to o3, I don't know, but I'd assume it's about cost (and for most users the output quality is negligible). 4o can do everything, it's just not great at "logic".
This doesn't make any sense. They were the ones who added the journalist to the chat. The chat wasn't covertly relayed to a journalist by one of the members.

You're mistaken. Life thrives in a huge variety of environments and survives in many more, and we have evidence of similar suns and the existence of planets in habitable zones. We can observe varieties of axial tilt and configurations of moons in our own solar system. We can form (bad) estimates of probability for earth-like cosmic conditions, and they're good enough that we've found some planets where we expect they might be.

It seems like a far larger assumption to think Earth is unique in the cosmos, given nature's tendency to repeat itself. There are numerous natural harbors on earth, for example - places where the sea currents and land terrain combine to make a relatively calm environment even during stormy conditions. If we view Earth and the solar system as a natural harbor in space, what basis is there for thinking it can not exist anywhere else? The fact that we're uncertain about exactly how common it is is not a good reason to think the answer is 'not at all'.
I see a fair amount of that here in Sacramento. People having block parties, chairs out in the driveways, etc. One of the newer neighborhoods in the area seems like it was designed with this in mine as well. '

On the one hand, as a lover of film, ewww gross.

On the other hand, as a lover of film, if this will bring more audience to foreign films, then let's give it a try.

This is very much in the same vein as colorizing black and white movies, pan-and-scan for video releases (and now zoom for 4:3 content on widescreen), and dubbing instead of subtitles. Every one of those things brought in more viewers of the content, exposing more people to those films.
