You would be surprised. When my brother was a movie theater manager he got invites to a lot of pre-screenings of movies. I was able to go with him a few times and I'll never forget seeing my first movie print before it went through color correction and ADR/sound balancing. Without those steps (and I'm sure others I'm not aware of) the movie experience was very jarring (and somewhat funny).
What's wrong with recycling the bottle caps and not having them all over the place because they're small and otherwise fall onto the streets, sewers, and trails?? It's really not a problem to have the lid attached to the bottle - works totally fine for me whether it's milk, soda, or apple juice.

I'm still trying to square how 98% of American voters went for candidates promising to continue arming the world's most live-streamed genocide, even with all those protests; even with all the footage we've seen.

How it didn't end after the Al-Nasr babies story, or after Biden was caught laundering lies about beheaded babies, or the NYT laundering lies about mass rape, I just don't know. And still the Greens couldn't get 5%?

There's something deeply dark and disturbed across the entirety of American society, and it seems like most of us can't even see it... Well, the consequences will arrive regardless.
Nutrition tracking apps have been around for a long time, and going back even further, people in the 1980s used spreadsheets to replace pen and paper tracking, letting them quickly change and adjust.
Yes. In the case mentioned binaries written in Go (goaws). I can add all the goaws binaries into my git repo, and have a single cross platform entry point devs can call without figuring out which one is for their OS.
The corruption is caused by their short sightedness, a total lack of critical analysis capacity to see past the surface assessment of pretty much everything. The problem in the United States is that adults are no longer adults, we manufacture immature people with simplistic world views that seriously know no better, and they have the entire Republican Party hostage, a material percentage of the Democratic Party, and in general the USA is awash in a state of noncommunication because such people cannot see past their immediate assessments to find any common ground. Sure, we have real adults, but not enough to make a critical difference in the quality of our public discourse, to reverse this nose dive.
technically, you are right. whats more

"The word "cyberpunk" was coined by writer Bruce Bethke, who wrote a story with that title in 1980."

but this was not even as subculter, yet alone a thing people recognized. to me Neuromancer also marks the onset of cyberpunk culture, but Kylie Minogue was among the few artists such as Bjork, who seemed to be bold enough to explore it artistically.
For me, the killer features were the metaprogramming abilities (both type and macro based). Not so much because I used them directly but because they allowed library authors to create extremely expressive libraries.
> But it feels like much scaffolding needs to occur for an audience to see the light.

tl;dr: Don't think about others. Just write, put it out there, with a couple of stickers pointing people. They'll see and come.

I'd not care about scaffolding, actually. I have three main outlets for what I do: Blog, Digital Garden, Mastodon, and arguably here.

Blog was meant to be technical, but instead it became a "life" blog. My digital garden is where my technical notes are, and where my project write-ups will be, and Mastodon and here is what I post links to these spaces.

My secret is, I don't write these for anybody. The format is for general consumption, but I'm not sad because nobody gives feedback about it or reaches me about these things. I generally do these for my enjoyment, and blog analytics show that there's some foot traffic in my blog. Digital garden keeps no analytics.

When you put it out there, can point people to what you do, people will start to come. Not in hoards, but in small groups, and that's enough IMHO. Otherwise you need to be your blog's servant to drive the numbers up.

I'm not playing that game.

Not a huge library, around 32K LoC and no mention of the bug on the web - I was the first to encounter it (it’s since been fixed) unless the training data is super recent.
And this is a very important point: there's no "perfect" situation (mandatory Churchill quote: "democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried"). But there are so many nuances of gray that it's most important to differentiate. Yes, there's stupid EU bureaucracy. But citizens can influence it, look at the legendary straight banana regulation: it was repealed. And so on, slow, imperfect, annoying and at times even dangerous, but it kinda works. However, it will need much more to be able to withstand these times...
> life expectancy 4 years behind poor countries like Portugal

Demographics has a big impact on life expectancies. Asian Americans have a life expectancy of 84 years for instance. Which is better than Portugal by 3 years. Comparing life expectancies on a per country basis is fraught with error if attempting to attribute differences to health systems. Genetics, climate, diet — all have huge impacts on life expectancy.

Puerto Rico has a life expectancy of over 82 years and has the same system as the U.S. It’s a year higher than Cuba in fact. Why does Puerto Rico do better than Cuba when the Cuban system is often claimed to have a better health system? Puerto Rico also has a higher life expectancy than Portugal.

As a founder in Berlin, I get excited when my city does stuff like this and is well represented in the maker community. Germany has a long way to go to really create a culture that fosters innovation, but these are the right first steps.

I think this is something Americans (I'm American, born and raised on the west coast) don't understand: They talk shit about EU innovation and talk up their own dominance, but the tides are turning and the EU is motivated. The landscape will look very, very different in a few years.

It's a poem about self-deception, and Frost has cleverly extended that theme to encompass the reader.

He clearly wrote it the way he did to invite an easy, comfortable interpretation, one that is blatantly contradicted by the very evidence he presents. He's rubbing our noses in our own gullibility and tendency to deceive ourselves with comfortable lies, just as the narrator has done.

All in simple, direct language. Frost sure was a sneaky one.
What's new is to apply that to LLMs, that is.

> This isn't a novel idea - some people tried the exact same thing the day GPT4 came out.

What do you mean? Since GPT4's weights aren't available, you can't run RL on it by yourself. Only OpenAI can.

Yeah Signal isn't the issue - it's the phones. In the end Signal was probably easier and faster to use while a bit more secure than WhatsApp but one has to presume that a chunk of those phones have been compromised for months.
> But these can be another llm

Yes! I share the feeling that once LLMs get good enough at some abstraction level, you can always put another "level" on top that should abstract what already works into bite sized pieces. Hassabis also mentions this in a recent podcast, different levels of abstraction. We'll probably see some tooling in this space shortly, to coordinate between the different levels. And then RL it and watch it demolish planning tasks benchmarks.

We might very well already be at the point where every level is achievable, we just have to glue them together.
No sane person will tell you that EU should accept all the consequences of US starting wars in our neighborhood and also pay for that privilege.

Nobody is forcing US to field the largest army in the world. It is their own choice. We all would much rather if they didn't have such an incentive to arbitrarily start wars just to justify their defense budget.

BTW, if US is such a mighty nation as they advertise themselves, they should have no problem providing safety net for their citizens. The problem is that they just don't want to do that. They don't care about their citizens. All administrations just want to avoid taxing the rich and shift the blame to made up external enemies.

You could get images from multiple perspectives from the Cover Art Archive (via MusicBrainz). E.g. https://musicbrainz.org/release/a4f190d5-c752-4ebd-8d2f-925a... . It would be very cool if the spine could be rendered, although it's not always split from the back image (I guess because of the post processing after scanning).

There's a notable difference between shading and grading. Shading is for the TV industry where you adjust all cameras to match perfectly the exposure, tone curve and colors. So when switching between camera angles you don't notice any difference in skin tone or detail, and the green of the grass and blue of the sky are all the same. Also a very important point is to get the color of the sponsor logos right, that would be where to start sometimes... There's less creativity here, you have mainly to follow the standards like ITU-R BT.709 or for HDR HLG and ITU-R BT.2020.

Grading is the creative process of adding a look to your production, which is usually handled in post production but there are now ways to do it live, although by using similar tools as the post production software. And they still re-do it in post production. This is used live for concerts and fashion shows.

There is a significant distinction between shading and grading.

Shading is essential in the TV industry, where the goal is to ensure all cameras are perfectly matched in exposure, tone curve, and colors. This ensures seamless transitions between camera angles, maintaining consistency in skin tones, fine details, and the color of grass and sky. A crucial aspect of shading is accurately reproducing sponsor logos' colors, which can sometimes be the starting point as that's where the money comes from. Creativity plays a lesser role here, as the focus is on following industry standards such as ITU-R BT.709 for SDR or ITU-R BT.2020 and HLG for HDR.

Grading, on the other hand, is a creative process meant to give a distinctive look to a production . Traditionally done in post-production, it can also now be applied in real time using tools similar to those found in post-production software. Despite this, it is often still refined further in post. Live grading is commonly used for events such as concerts and fashion shows, where you want to look different from TV productions.
Worth pointing out typing is coming in rapidly, built into the compiler. It’s already doing some checks, and 1.19 is actively adding more. See: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/main/gradual-set-theoretic-types.h...

I know someone who has started a distance masters, after figuring out what they really enjoyed in life.

Getting a degree today, getting an education, is a very different beast from the most common experience. Things I have noticed:

1) It was surprisingly easy to get stuck with just figuring out how to finish assignments, or get enough crammed into for an exam - even if this was a field you actually loved

2) I have changed careers, several times now, and there is a marked contrast between

- a) Having a larger project in mind, that informs your decisions

- b) Figuring out things at the rhythm of the class.

3) GenAI is a pain in the ass. It’s everywhere, and it’s probably murdering your teachers as we speak. Its also a godsend if you want something explained to you quickly (assuming it gets it right, or the subject is covered enough)

3.1) Since you are actually interested by engineering, this gives you a substantial amount of protection from falling to GPT based crutches and habits.

My core suggestion, is to find some physical real world project you actually want to work on, and see your education as a path to making that project come to fruition.

The other suggestion is to truly figure out how you like to study, since that determines how you balance life pressures and education requirements.

There are actual reasons different plastics are used in different situations… it’s not just companies saying “ha ha this will be extremely difficult on the recyclers!”

Some plastic needs to be heat resistant, some, it doesn’t matter. Some plastic needs to be easy to tear, some needs to resist tearing. Some plastic needs to be flexible, some needs to be stiff.

People are focusing too much on accountability that will likely never happen. This is Trump 2.0. People knew exactly what they were getting and they voted him back into office anyways.

Perhaps a better answer is to separate accountability from the executive branch, possibly:

* Provide journalistic publication businesses super first amendment protections that cannot be restricted by a president, but news sources that contain opinion pieces separate from witness testimony and/or third party expert analysis as entertainment, thus restricted from journalistic venues.

* Transfer the justice department to congress. The president can still appoint the attorney general. The president should have no ability to determine criteria or persons for investigation or denial thereof.

"No sides in science" is a silly idea. Of course, scholars have biases. They're human. Humans like to group up and gang up against other.

Specific to Bible Scholarship, I wager the two big sides are scholars who have faith (i.e., Nicene Creed) and scholars who have little. Bruce Metzger who had some faith, and Bart Ehrman who has none. RSV/ESV which says Jesus is the "Son of God" in Mark 1, and NRSVue which deletes "Son of God" from Mark 1.

It's quite a fault line.
Run a grid of hyperparameters for small models of different sizes to find out how the optimal values change as you scale up (the "scaling laws"), then extrapolate to predict performance at even larger scales, then do a single large run and hope that your predictions aren't too far off.
