In this sense, free market maximalism is a materialistic religion of its own.

Still, this is not the framing that people calling transhumanism a religion use. The arguments are usually trying to show parallels between transhumanist beliefs/theories and theistic religious beliefs (almost always Christianity) - specifically to say, "look, it sounds like Christianity if you substitute AI for God and Singularity for Rapture, therefore this is just rebranded Christianity, not Science", therefore implying the transhumanists are wrong. The argument is, literally, "this pattern-matches to religion therefore must be just as wrong", and I'm saying it's a dumb argument.
MacBook with 64gb RAM will probably be the easiest. As a bonus, you can train pytorch models on the built in GPU.

It's really frustrating that I can't just write off Apple as evil monopolists when they put out hardware like this.

I don’t usually expect nuanced theological discussions here. It’s usually the equivalent of bumper sticker comments.

The “appetite” for Young Earth Creationism amongst my Christian group is very low if nonexistent. In fact we often spend more times groaning at the antics this crowd gets into.

start paying for your news. you won't regret it.
three decades of free news leave you hanging bored
and annoyed and misunderstanding humanity.

if you want to stay tethered to this reality, commit to the pot. it's recursive and cumulative. otherwise you are left to research from free sources which leave you in 'directed' narratives, divergent and polarizing, devouring your fallacies while feeding off your bias.

free beer is never a better of the available choices.
"being the first ones to seriously look at the problem" is what makes the Wright Brothers so historically significant. They tackled flight as an engineering problem and put serious work into a lot of the important sub-problems. Their superior methodology is a big part of what led to their overall success and being first to achieve other less arbitrary milestones.
I've been waiting since November for 1, just 1*, model other than Claude than can reliably do agentic tool call loops.
As long as the Chinese open models are chasing reasoning and benchmark maxxing vs. mid-2024 US private models, I'm very comfortable with somewhat ignoring these models.

(this isn't idle prognostication hinging on my personal hobby horse. I got skin in the game, I'm virtually certain I have the only AI client that is able to reliably do tool calls with open models in an agentic setting. llama.cpp got a massive contribution to make this happen and the big boys who bother, like ollama, are still using a dated json-schema-forcing method that doesn't comport with recent local model releases that can do tool calls. IMHO we're comfortably past a point where products using these models can afford to focus on conversational chatbots, thats cute but a commodity to give away per standard 2010s SV thinking)

* OpenAI's can but are a little less...grounded?...situated? i.e. it can't handle "read this file and edit it to do $X". Same-ish for Gemini, though, sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who actually waits for the experimental models to go GA, as per letter of the law, I shouldn't deploy them until then

>English is not my first language

Try using Google Translate or a European equivalent? You can write in your native language and translate into English. Using a translator could help you understand my points better, as well.

>You seem completely oblivious to the fact that more than half listed stock globally is US - and that this is a marketplace. Ie. not only US capital.

Yes, I'm aware that US stocks are overvalued. I don't see the relevance to our discussion. A correction was inevitable in my opinion.

>I appreciate you don't want to be in that position. That you want to be a part of an underdog country. But you are not.

First, it's not about being an underdog. It's about having free and equal relations, free association between nations that respect each others' sovereignty.

In any case -- If you respected US sovereignty, you would respect my opinion, as a US citizen, that we need a more Swiss foreign policy.

We have no obligation to stand in our current place in the global scene. Our current place was the decision of a previous generation of politicians. We're a democracy. We're allowed to vote, and change our policy. You can't coerce us into being an empire with your words. That's absurd.

If you wish to persuade me that the pre-2016 arrangement was good for the US, you're welcome to respectfully make your case for that. You're not doing that.
Your condescending attitude is exactly the thing I'm arguing against, and exactly why I think the idea of "US-Europe shared values" is overrated.

>And hopefully you can develop some humility to the fact.

You are a foreigner commenting on US politics telling me that I, as a US citizen, need to be humble in my views of US policy. It's wild to me that Europeans will talk this way, then turn around and complain that Elon Musk is "influencing European elections".

Imagine if Elon said Europeans "need to be humble, appreciate their position, and keep buying Teslas". How would you feel?

The difference between you and I is: I recognize that Europeans have free association, and they are free to buy whatever products they want. I think it is silly to boycott the US over Ukraine, when the US has been one of Ukraine's biggest supporters. I'd say you should start by boycotting countries such as Brazil which have provided almost no support at all. The vast majority of countries have provided no support: https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-s...

But, I recognize that you're a free individual making free choices for yourself -- same as us Americans are. So, buy what you like. Boycott what you like. I may think it is silly. But it's your decision, and I respect that.

This needs to be foundational for our discussion. If we say the partnership isn't working for us, you need to respect that instead of give us a lecture on our ignorance and our need for humility. Simple.
To be fair, it broke as an exclusive to the Atlantic about 180 minutes ago. The NYT now has it "above the fold" on their front page. Unlike a story coming directly from a public source, it sometimes takes a bit longer to spin up re-reporting on another outlet's scoop like this.
Herbie Hancock on playing with Miles Davis, AI, and why the piano makes him cry
IMO, political influence can be discussed in terms of directionality and substance, and both are relevant.

Directionality is short term and simplistic, Does it change how someone will vote or poll.

Substance explains why they vote or poll, and is relevant because it has downstream consequences in an evolving world.
An intermediate state on their own branch maybe not such a big deal. But did they regularly initiate pull requests on on broken branch ?
Perhaps so! I thought about writing a story of an AI like that - something that cures diseases and prevents war and gives you all the tools to be smarter and healthier and more virtuous, but otherwise says "nope, humanity, you gotta figure this out yourself if you want the reward". It'd be an interesting sci-fi setting.
Wouldn’t they just run R1 locally and not have any censorship at all? The model isn’t censored at its core, it’s censored through the system prompt. Perplexity and Huggingface have their own versions of R1 that is not censored.

But, it's a flagrant leak of classified info. Using a medium explicitly prohibited by policy. And likely now lost to time (Signal messages can be configured to auto-delete on a timer), when all of this sort of correspondence is legally required to be retained.
Ah yeah I saw that video before, so bad. If I saw someone belaying like that I'd immediately call them out and tell them to hold the brake strand. Lucky this was even caught on video to prove what the error was. It's disturbing to see how his right hand still appears to just hold onto the gri-gri while the climber falls (rather than grabbing the rope). Inexcusable IMO, especially for someone who isn't a total beginner. There's no "people make mistakes" caveat here, that was straight-up dangerous technique, like driving a car with no hands on the wheel or with a blindfold on.
Carpentry is a pretty big field, so it is probably not right to say they were or weren’t skilled.

They didn’t have the specific skill of making cart wheels.
> Nobody (or nobody in their right mind) argues that AI should be let by itself build productive applications

There are people on hacker news daily arguing this
I see, that's very cool! It was more about getting it to do the nested update bit though, as in being able to do session.update on the Car with semantics that it will update the Driver connected to the Car, rather than point to a new driver.

It seems though this needs to be done by fiddling through ORM internals though, as I could not find any that would implement this kind of PATCH semantics.
Pretty much the same boat. Early 2020 I was spending so much time on calls headphones were just tiring. So it started as "get a microphone + speaker setup that doesn't echo" and just kind of spiraled into a half decade of incremental improvements.

Don't know that I've had anything as loud as a fire truck, but more than a few times I've had a 75lb dog a few feet away from me barking like mad, whining at me, playing by throwing a cow femur up in the air and letting it crash down on the vinyl floor, etc and apologized about the noise only to have people look at me funny and tell me they didn't hear anything but that explains why I seemed like I was having trouble speaking.

I think the only time I had anyone say anything about anything was when I accidentally had an air conditioner blowing directly on my microphone. They couldn't hear it, but my voice was coming through a little less crisp than usual as the noise cancellation was trying to remove the constant, high volume white noise.

Don't know what OS you're on, but on Linux I can definitely recommend Easy Effects (https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.wwmm.easyeffects). Been using RNNoise + Speex along with some other filtering for quite a while now to great effect.

One thing I found worked _really_ well if you're already using an external microphone of some sort--using the webcam microphone as part of a noise gate. On top of the filtering and existing gating, my audio only opens if my webcam _also_ picks up sound of sufficient volume. Lets me keep the microphone in front of my face fairly sensitive while still entirely eliminating echo and most off-axis sounds.
Apparently there are two versions of the 4060Ti, with 8GB and 16GB of VRAM respectively. I've got an 8GB 3060 that runs gemma2:9b nicely, and that will parse PDF files; gemma3:4b also seems to analyze PDFs decently.
Good point. It's now the top story on WSJ as well.

There are many axiom systems for natural numbers. My favorites are 1. Heyting Arithmetic, and 2. In category theory, one can characterise the natural numbers and the initial algebra of the X |–> X+1. functor.
GCC and Clang support asan/ubsan, which lets you trade performance for nicer behavior related to memory access and undefined behavior. Whenever I do C development for a platform that supports asan/ubsan, I always develop and test with them enabled just because of how much debugging time they save.

> 4. First design that used a wind tunnel to get an efficient wing shape

The Wrights based their wing on Lilienthal's who used a variant of a wind tunnel (as well as actual gliders) for optimizations.

You could also argue he ran a coherent research program too, just it was sadly stopped by his fatal flying accident.

It was obnoxious, let's encrypt solved that from the operator's perspective.

Man in the middle attacks are very real. A good ratio of routers get hacked during manufacture, or have a backdoor that get exploited by other hackers. an http hits make these exploit even easier to execute. Public WiFi are often insecure, https works around that problem (for the most part).

From an attacker perspective, widespread https has become obnoxious, yes.
It only "didn't matter" because the journalist had the good sense to keep quiet until after the operation was complete. And continues to keep some of the conversation secret. Imagine if Hegseth had accidentally CC'ed somebody aligned with Iran?

It's not even nefarious: they don't want the model spewing out content that will get them in trouble in the most general sense. It just so happens most governments have things that will get you in trouble.

The US is very obsessed with voter manipulation these days, so OpenAI and Anthropic's models are extra sensitive if the wording implies they're being used for that.

China doesn't like talking about past or ongoing human rights violations, so their models will be extra sensitive about that.
Is it the same story with the Apple touchpad? Is the fancy palm rejection implemented completely in software?
It honestly doesn't have a bearing on my political leanings regarding America, especially since there are also many nice and wonderful Americans I interact with. My political opinions are instead based on the political positions, trend, instability & recently insanity of America.

If I took personal opinions I'm reading online into consideration, I'd be very open to manipulation by the platforms themselves. Just look at something like Reddit - I'm guessing at least half the comments are AI generated these days, if not more.
Do these probabilities mean anything at all?

When Mosca and his colleagues surveyed cybersecurity experts last year, the forecast was sobering: a one-in-three chance that Q-Day happens before 2035. And the chances it has already happened in secret? Some people I spoke to estimated 15 percent—about the same as you’d get from one spin of the revolver cylinder.

This whole thing that you can rate your confidence 1-100, chant "Bayes," and it becomes a probability is endlessly frustrating. Sigma-additivity, shmiga-additivity!
First of all, you're right, it does indeed do different things. The stand-alone variant only accepts irrefutable patterns, hence why it needs an "else" branch.

But just for fun, let's make it compile!

enum Result<T> {
Some(T),
}

use Result::Some;

fn pop() -> Result<u32> {
Some(42)
}

fn main() {
// This doesn't cause a compilation error
let Some(work) = pop();
}
20% year over year growth would mean falling further and further behind China, which is closer to 50% lately. Bookmark this comment and check back in a year to see if China's installed PV capacity grew by more or less than 20% in 02024.

Current US industrial policy is vastly inadequate for bootstrapping a domestic solar industry to international competitiveness, and the US trade barriers against cheap Chinese EVs are ensmallening the future domestic electricity market. This is a problem, because that's where domestic manufacturers have to sell their product before hypothetically achieving low enough production costs to gain a foothold in export markets.

To be quantitative, the US only installed about 34GWp of PV last year https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/01/28/us-added-34-gw-of-pv-... and increased its manufacturing capacity from 14.1GWp yearly to 42.1GWp yearly https://seia.org/research-resources/us-solar-market-insight/. However, that's GWdc, and those 34GWac were actually 50GWdc. So US manufacturing capacity lags behind demand, as you'd expect given its inefficiency and consequent international uncompetitiveness.

Also, I want to point out that your idea that what companies in China should or shouldn't be allowed to produce or invest in is within the jurisdiction of the US government is a breathtaking level of central-economic-planning advocacy that even Stalin and Mao would never have admitted to. It's precisely the rejection of such central planning by Deng that permitted Mainland China to develop economically.

There were many pre-airplane aircraft.[1] Many people built gliders, and some of them worked. There were attempts at powered flight using steam engines (too heavy), clockwork (not enough energy storage), and rubber bands (well, why not, it works at toy size).

The real insight of the Wright Brothers was to focus on stability and control. Lilienthal got this - he flew about 2,000 glider flights, before dying in a crash before he got to power. Langley (NASA Langley is named after him) was trying for inherently stable aircraft rather than controllable ones. That's quite possible, but add too much stability and you can't maneuver much.

Somebody was going to succeed at this by the early 1900s.

This is a bad take because it comes from linguistic ignorance. The "great" here doesn't mean the person is wonderful with a kind soul and a benevolent impact. It's not "great" as an extra intense "good".

It's great like a Great White Shark is great. Great like Great Britain is great. Large, impactful, encompassing. A person is said to be a "Great Person" if they are seen to have a disproportionately large impact on the course of history. It is this premise, of some individuals being able to have such disproportionate impacts (rather than everything being a product of the times) that certain philosophers and historians have objected to. It wasn't out of concern that we might be glorifying nasty people with the term; if that were it then we could simply change the terminology to "Impactful People" or something like that. Those who've lodged serious objections to the premise of great people would not be placated by this change in words.

It’s crazier than that. It might be a soft pull or might not be. Whether or not they say it will be a credit check depends on who you are, presumably based on how likely their algorithm thinks you are to turn them down.

I ran into this recently helping someone with their finances who forgot about random Klarna purchases… I worked off of their credit report, and Klarna was just on there at all. (Obviously lesson #1 was “don’t do Klarna and stuff like it, even though it’s zero interest”).
Would a 40GB A6000 fully accommodate a 32B model? I assume an fp16 quantization is still necessary?

I disagree because you just provide no context and it feels rage bait
https://huggingface.co/spaces/NyxKrage/LLM-Model-VRAM-Calcul...

That will help you quickly calculate the model VRAM usage as well as the VRAM usage of the context length you want to use. You can put "Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct" in the "Model (unquantized)" field. Funnily enough the calculator lacks the option to see without quantizing the model, usually because nobody worried about VRAM bothers running >8 bit quants.
You might be interested in something like Coq [0], but even with literal software it's very very hard to prove logical correctness, let alone wishy-washy real-world things like "when I mixed these two chemicals they turned greenish which probably suggests X."

Best I can see happening is a way to visualize relationships between research papers so that humans can argue over what it really means. Like a graph of edges where "this paper cites that one and one strongly depends on it being true for its own conclusions", or "this one claims it did/didn't disprove that other one", and retroactive additions like "an outside observer noticed that X and Y are probably either both correct or both incorrect."
