> anything that's harder than the basics it completely falls flat

I kind of wonder if there's a way to make ai-accessible software.

For example, lets say someone wrote some really descriptive tutorial on blender, not only simple features, but advanced ones. added some college texts on adjacent problems to help prevent "falling flat" at more difficult tasks.

could something like that work? I figure LLMs are now just reading simple tutorials now, what about feeding them advanced stuff?
a friend recently described bouldering - which I understand is also fairly popular with engineers - as something to the effect of "solving problems in a physical space with your body". this seems not dissimilar
As a roughly neurotypical person who watches a lot of YouTube, I find that ADHD-adjacent content is one of those recommendation spirals where if you click one video that even mentions ADHD in its content (e.g. "How to tidy your home with the Marie Kondo method") the algorithm will recommend you content explicitly addressing ADHD (e.g. "The best way to take notes with ADHD") for weeks.

After clicking through a few of them that seemed interesting, I discovered the same thing you did: most of them take a very typical day-to-day problem (need to organise my wardrobe, need to organise my notes better) and frame it as an explicitly ADHD problem.

I'm glad we live in a time of greater awareness, and I'm glad people are receiving useful diagnoses that lead to management that improves peoples' quality of life. I'm very happy for people who eventually find ADHD can be their superpower rather than a detriment.

But I do wonder if there's a quiet grift going on (maybe just on YouTube? Not sure) taking advantage of this. There are a lot of people saying "You have ADHD therefore you have this specific problem that neurotypical people don't" - where the first half might be true, but the second half is not.

Which seems to me to be framing the identity / otherness-from-neurotypical-ness in an unhealthy way in order to push more content. And possibly leading to the over-attribution of everything to ADHD rather than just... life.

Again, I don't want to minimise the impact of ADHD or the problems it can create for people, but this is definitely a pattern I've seen pop up on the Internet only in the last 5 or 6 years.
Exactly. Ford didn't actually invent anything. Kinda like Jobs and Woz didn't invent the IC or CPU or even PC. Ford was in tune with the innovations of the time and composed them in a novel and appealing way. His success came from his skilled execution and were more financial and social than technical in nature. Ford marketed cars to the middle class, and paid his employees well enough to buy the products they built.
Yes, and that is my complaint.

The comparison with Switzerland is stretching things a bit thin.

Switzerland never threatened Germany to become the 27th canton. They didn't threaten military allies with military intervention. They also do not keep permanent military bases in other countries, in practice autonomous zones where there are intermittent scandals where Swiss law protects rapists. No other counties dutifully joined any Swiss invasions in the Middle East.

Europe did not have to shoulder orders of magnitude (look it up) more refugees from these wars than the instigator of the wars. The Swiss do not regularly use their economic power to force other countries to share passenger data for all transit, they do not force far reaching intellectual property legislation of all sorts on other countries.

The Swiss, however, do a lot of other strange things. They are basically a bank with national sovereignity which economically has kept up a very strong industrial appendix with a very strong, primarily industrially focused, engineering sector. The post-WW2 history contains a lot of stones largely left unturned, and there is zero chance another coutry could occupy this particular nation state evolution niche.

While it's utterly true these features will simply get abandoned by the manufacturer, people seem to discount how hard (read: expensive) it is to develop local-first software, especially the one you want to just work with a mobile app that might or might not be on the same local network or subnet (try explaining that bit to your regular Bosch customer).

Since we are, ultimately, such a minority, I am sure that not even returning the product would make the manufacturer understand that this is — really — unacceptable. The only way we can get this "fixed" is by mandating open APIs for local use by regulators, when we'll see the proliferation of custom apps.
Prior to that work on hyperparameter transfer though things would go wrong much more often training the big expensive model and require restarts back to checkpoints and retuning parameters
much more often though. Yeah it's still a lot of fiddling around but it is orders of magnitude less expensive.

Chronic “pain” as a spouse is the perfect metaphor. I can’t push through it, I have to use patience and understanding and it’s always somewhere on my mind. That’s the only way to make progress or be sane long term. I’ve grown and matured because of it. I’ve also experienced the post surgery pain that briefly takes you out of this world. For a split second I was in the Hell dimension a la Event Horizon the movie before I had taken my first dose of opiates and had adjusted my arm too much. I don’t mean the pain was hellishly bad; I didn’t cry out which is probably what a 10/10 pain would elicit. It was more like dread and “seeing” but not with vision the mutilated flesh and gore inside my repaired wrist.

I'm very similar to you and going through similar issues.

I've also started to write a to-do list on paper and keep it always open in front of me on my desk. This is the only thing that seems to work for me. If I keep a virtual to-do list, I lose track of it, forget to check/update it and it eventually becomes useless.

You're not alone, hope you find something that works for you!
Grandparent commenter here.

I'm on the Oregon state health plan, which requires you to cycle through any of the standard ADHD drugs before they'll let you prescribe the long term versions.

The lowest dose of adderall (sp idk) didn't do much for me, but the next level up silenced the distraction demon pretty well. I ended up trying ritalin next, and am currently on the second highest dose of the long term extended release version.

I was able to notice adderall's stimulant effects, but I didn't notice ritalin's. That got me in trouble on the second day of taking the high dose long term one, or should I say it got me in trouble at 5 AM the next morning. Folks, always modify your full screen games to include a real time clock. It's important.

For now I find it to be acceptable. I've adjusted my schedule to make sure I take the meds on time and go to bed on time. Additionally, thanks to it I now have enough executive function to not only make a schedule but actually be able to mostly stick to it.

Again, this stuff can be life changing. If you have the opportunity, go a month or two with all of the major drugs to see what they do for you. I'm 44 and could have been diagnosed and on meds at 11. Don't wait.
hey will, the metrics in the scoring system are not predefined but rather generated for a use case by breaking down a subjective set of conditions into a tree of metrics that combine various objective metrics into a subjective aggregate. Here is a prefilled playground with dimensions for the sentiment analysis in customer reviews use case. You can see how it breaks down and if you put a review and click Run you should see the scores combine from individual custom dimensions to the aggregate score. Hope this helps!

> Nothing I've had a hand in building / maintaining has "survived" for more than ~7 years.

The companies? The websites? Google, for example, has been in existence since 1998. If you're working on a farm, the crops don't live longer than a year. The livestock longer than that, but probably not decades - my (limited) understanding is that most cows are slaughtered around age 2 or 3. But the farm itself can, in certain circumstances, last for generations.

If you're talking houses, sure, solid walls can last decades, centuries, millennia even (cf the Pyramids). However, I think this is because stone is particularly durable. Roofs, windows, doors, anything that isn't made of really good masonry will tend to decay much quicker than that. Even states like the Roman Republic and Empire (which had probably a good ~2000 year run if we count from 509BC to the fall of Constantinople in 1453) will eventually crumble and fall.

Now a tech company is a newer type of institution than a farm, but some of them are quite old - GE was founded in 1892. IBM was founded in 1911. We can also take Bell telephone and Standard Oil, both of whom were broken up by anti-trust cases, but whose descendants still live on today, as other examples of tech companies that have had lifespans similar to or greater than houses or farms.

Of course, I understand that "I built some software/racked some servers for a company 20 years ago and they're still business" isn't the same as "I put the bricks in that wall twenty years ago and the house is still there". So I agree that the individual artifacts we create in the tech industry are somewhat fleeting, compared to things made of metal and stone, even if, compared to things like music or other performing arts, where the song disappears the minute you stop playing, software running on computers is relatively lasting. And artifacts created with software, while they are a relatively new thing, may prove quite durable. Films made with Final Cut, or songs made with Pro Tools, or heck, even video games like Doom, may prove to outlast every house that you ever worked on. It's possible that 200 years from now, people will still be watching YouTube videos made today, even if, in a Ship of Theseus like fashion, every line of code and every server that YouTube is currently using has been replaced since then.
Is that a problem? According to this, the GPUs don’t communicate that much once the weights are loaded: https://github.com/turboderp/exllama/discussions/16#discussi...

> So at FP16 precision that's a grand total of 16 kB you're transmitting over the PCIe bus, once per token. If you multiply by, say, 20 tokens per second, then you're still only using like 0.1% of your PCIe bandwidth.

Intra GPU memory bandwidth is very important, but I‘ve seen lots of people use just a x4 lane and they didn’t complain much.

and when my phone gets near it, it asks to connect to an airplay device.

I think that might be a fatal flaw to even getting a wifi enabled device - maybe someone in the adjacent apartment can do the initial setup if you didn't.

hopefully these devices have a physical component to initial setup, and are not succeptible to denial-of-service type attacks.

>Shame that a nuclear weapons treaty with limits and an inspections regime is more sci-fi than the technology needed to remotely verify the presence of a warhead

Well articulated. The early history of atomic weapons regulation hinges on precisely the difficulty of independent verification means (as well as judgements on whether or not an adversary would let you into their country without whack-a-mole style circumvention). I still think that verification technology is the main stumbling block. Neutrino detection is what I (and I bet ongoing orograms in the DoE) focus on for this purpose. We need to be able to figure out how to sense neutrinos order of magnitude more effectively than we can currently. Right now it feels like panning for gold silt with sieves as sparse as chicken-wire.

> large scale solar power storage business is growing, they manufacture batteries, they have the largest charging infrastructure for end users

Tesla’s infrastructure-sales prospects outside America have basically been hobbled for years to come. I’d argue similarly for our most-populous states.

> the scheme

As I already stated I'm no longer certain what scheme we're actually taking about. Is there some reason you don't feel like elaborating?

For my part I thought we were taking about a proof of possession scheme in addition to regular auth. The "regular auth" scheme was unspecified so could be password, software based TOTP, hardware token, whatever.

Widespread proof of possession already exists in the form of chips in bank cards. It seems to be quite resilient to attack in practice.

Even if I use software on my phone for proof of possession you still have to compromise the computer I'm actually logging in with, no? So the attack surface is either the same (primary device) or increased (primary plus secondary, simultaneously) depending on various practical details regarding implementation and usage.

If the "regular auth" scheme involves a half decent hardware token then good luck compromising that remotely. I won't be betting in your favor.

From my experience in general aviation, I've never met anyone who intentionally turned off their ADSB. It is generally wired into the transponder, and the bulk of air traffic worldwide happens where a transponder is practically required. Yes, it is technically not needed but you can't get help from ATC, can't fly instruments in the clouds, and you can't fly high.

Sure, it can happen but these are edge cases. Space-based ADSB solves this problem with a fraction of the effort and much better data. Spooks might need this for military stuff, but for the bulk of planes, it doesn't make sense.
I'm pretty sure it could have done that equally easily, but this grammar is small enough that a parser generator is overkill. (I made that decision before I asked the LLM to write the parser.)
Looks like the A4000 has low memory bandwidth (50% of a 4090?) which is the limiting factor for inference usually. But they are efficient - if you can get them for cheap, probably a good entry setup? If you like running models that need a lot of VRAM, you‘ll likely run out of PCIe slots before you are done upgrading.
Stay mad.
It binds the two countries together, over the long term, in countering China. There's also a 'track 2' program that brings in other countries in the region.

Countering the Soviet Union in Europe had the advantage that the countries were accustomed to an existing alliance and working together. In the western Pacific, South Korea, Japan, the Philipines, Australia, etc. are not at all used to working together. Many are traditional enemies with long-termm animus. And the distances are enormous.

The top US foreign policy goal since 2020, arguably, has been to bind them together with each other and with the US to counter China. The US has been amazingly successful for such a short time, but it's still far from NATO levels of integration.
