Ironically, on my phone the only line that ends with an em dash has no spaces in it.

If you want to not have a line break, you shouldn't rely on arbitrary behavior. You should use non-breaking characters like non-breaking spaces and word joiners.

How DeepSeek Rewrote the Transformer [video]
What Pat said is 100% correct. The actual manufacturing of EUV ICs is incredible difficult, only eclipsed by the difficulty of figuring out HOW to do it. Doing the fabrication here in the US is great, but the much more difficult and key skill is the 'figuring how to do it'. Modern EUV is unbelievably complicated, and there are a continuous supply of new engineering problems that at first glance often don't even appear to be solvable.

In many cases you have an idea and it take 2-3 weeks to determine if it made any difference, and the feedback loop just gets slower after that. The steps in EUV requires some extreme engineering, and it is that core engineering talent you want to develop. The fabs are complicated, but the recipe is the key.

(Note I worked at Intel in the 90s, funny enough in Pat's group)
> Still. I prefer buying from the Amazon competition in my country. Amazon regularly sends me wrong items.

Out of curiosity, why is the preference for buying from "the Amazon competition" rather than directly from the manufacturer?
I think the author is being overly pessimistic with this. The positives of an LLM agent outweigh the negatives when used with a Human-in-the-loop.

For people interested in understanding the possibilities of LLM for use in a specific domain see The AI Revolution in Medicine: GPT-4 and Beyond by Peter Lee (Microsoft Research VP), Isaac Kohane (Harvard Biomedical Informatics MD) et al. It is an easy read showing the authors systematic experiments with using the OpenAI models via the ChatGPT interface for the medical/healthcare domain.

For a current-status follow-up to the above book, here is Peter Lee's podcast series The AI Revolution in Medicine, Revisited - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/story/the-ai-revolu...

Instead of reading trivial blogs/tweets etc. which are useless, read the above to get a much better idea of an LLM's actual capabilities.

You need to put a correspondence address, but it doesn't need to be a home address — most reasonably-sized companies will allow directors to use the company address, or the address of their law firm, instead. That doesn't work so well for companies that run out of the directors' homes, of course.

The license says "you may not distribute the software or new works based on the software".

Komorebi's readme says "Anyone is free to make their own fork of komorebi with changes intended either for personal use or for integration back upstream via pull requests."

There are often a lot of redundant parts of the legal & zoning code intended to limit development. You can legalize ADUs de jure, but you probably still have setbacks that de facto prohibit ADUs, you still have parking or curb or utility requirements that de facto prohibit ADUs, you still have HOAs that de facto prohibit ADUs, you still have "impact fees" and utility billing issues and all sorts of recently-added building codes that de facto prohibit ADUs. On top of that, the ADUs are usually extremely limited in character - "less than 1200sqft, less than 30% of the floor area of the house, no more than two residents", etc, etc. On top of that, you're paying for a financing category that the banks don't know how to deal with, without the subsidies that homeowners enjoy on mortgage payments, you're suddenly getting a property tax bill that's higher, and you're facing the possibility of squatting tenants under a regime that's designed to be inherently hostile to landlords.

You still have all sorts of laws against doing the thing you just supposedly legalized.
It's easy for Jon Stewart to feel that way cause it can't hurt him. There is no minority Jon Stewart to take his job, and he already has so much money he will be wealthy the rest of his life even if he loses his job today and never works again.

I think that is where democrats often run foul of average voters.. they see very wealthy democrats pushing something. It won't hurt the wealthy democrats, but it could hurt them. Average non-wealthy people don't want to be punished for the sins of past wealthy people who happened to have the same skin color as them.
If you're using IntelliJ, you can also right click the breakpoints and set conditions, or set a breakpoint to not suspend execution, but to activate another breakpoint so you can wait for a condition or line of code to be reached before the other breakpoint does anything. Super useful for debugging specific scenarios so you don't need to set up the context repeatedly.

It will do both tactics and strategy. Also working on incorporating positional concepts.

Yes you are right. It is still in demo phase, it still does make mistakes. I am refining the model and inputs, so definitely a work in progress :)

Regarding the circle highlighting, the agent is deciding / reasoning which square to highlight. So it is non-determinsitic, so it is sometimes right / wrong.

It will definitely get better as the models improve

Yeah, looks like the subreddit has been taken over completely. You can see that the original founder of the subreddit had resigned shortly before... and his farewell-post has been deleted by the new mods. The other mods all seem to be inactive, and going through one of their histories, I found them talking about being harassed and bullied a relatively few comments before ceasing /r/gifted comments

I brought this up in modmail with them, to see if any of the uncorrupted mods would respond, under their names. The responses denied my claims and mocked me, before banning me, but notably, all of the responses were under the group-mod username: so either none of the old mods were willing to respond under their usernames, or it wasn't the new mods responding. (Hint: it was almost certainly the latter.)

I reported it to the Reddit admins, but have heard nothing back. I don't expect too much because if the worst the new mods are doing is spamming affiliate links, that's relatively tame and far down the priority list.

There was a 3-part BBC documentary called "My Brilliant Brain" with one that featured Susan, who was the oldest and is today one of the best live chess commentators in the world. The doc talks about her father's theory and practice. His most important understanding was that the child must choose the endeavor of their own free will, and then he merely helped them optimize their learning curve.

Susan has a great quote about showing up to a men's chess club, when she was still young. She said, "I don't think I ever beat a healthy man." Because they were always not feeling well, or whatever lame excuse they conjured up.

The other two parts of the series are on different topics, but are also interesting, but Susan's is our favorite, and I got them long before our son started chess.

And Laszlo's book on chess problems is on my son's bookshelf. It has more than 5000 "problems, combinations, and games". It's been replaced by chess.com's and lichess's puzzle games, but it is still the reference book on chess puzzles, to my understanding.

It's funny because from that diagram I really don't see any particular relationship between the shape and its content. You could draw a regular pyramid with three segments and write the same labels on it and it would make just as much sense to me.

If anything a regular pyramid makes more sense to me: you want the smallest/narrowest useful description at the top and then you gradually expand on it as you go down, providing more (wider) context and detail for the key information.

Edit: Of course, it's a widely used term and good to understand in that context; the Wikipedia link is useful.
"Every few months"?

Android has a yearly release to target a new API and this has been in place for quite some time, it's not really arbitrary.

Something like a pinhole camera. If you have a piece of card with a pinprick hole in it, you can look through that hole and see a wide view, but a person in front of you wouldn't be able to see much of you through that same hole.
compare television of today to that of 1997.

Uh. 1997 had Oz, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stargate SG-1, King of the Hill, Just Shoot Me, Ally McBeal, The X-Files, Friends, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and MTV still showed music videos. Cable television hadn't yet been completely overrun with 'reality' television. We joked about The History Channel becoming the WWII channel, but it hadn't yet become the Ancient Aliens, cheap, pseudo-reality parody of itself.

I get your point about serialized stories, but I'd still take the great entertainment of the 90s over today's over-reliance on digital effects and low-quality writing to generate cheap drama. Besides, most shows aren't written with a set arc, they just keep writing more so long as the numbers stay up. So we get a couple of seasons of increasing drama and mystery, then it gets cancelled with no payoff. I'd rather have the amnesia-based reset system than that!
> why is one physical iPhone identical to another physical iPhone

Apple is willing to pay the cost to minimize the margin-of-error at every step.

Another approach to keeping yield high (at the possible risk of hurting your brand) is to do what Intel did with their Celeron line. The equivalent for Apple would be a "value iPhone" which would not come with the same set of expectations from customers.

What are some good, high-quality alternatives for someone who is a fan of the original Levi's 501 (button fly) jeans?
I wouldn't say never under any circumstance to do this, a pun or a joke occasionally creeps into my posts as well, though I feel this is definitely a less-is-more thing.

You sometimes find texts where you get the feeling the author almost expects a sitcom laugh track over the post, and funnies are crammed into every available crevice.
Not Amazon but I bought some Levi's trousers from their brand outlet in Woodbury Commons and the quality is so much better than the stuff I usually see outside US (not sure why/how because all of it probably gets made somewhere in Asia). Also, there are multiple lengths available for a given waist size so you retain the original hem stitching compared to the cut-and-stitch common in non-US locations.
>I marvel at it alright! But obviously not for the same reasons you do. I think it's incredibly stupid, and likely driven by nutters in the Green party who are ideological (and fucking wrong) instead of pragmatic and science based.

Anti-nuclear sentiment has always been transversal in Germany. At the time of the shutdowns, the conservatives didn't specially love the plants, but with Fukushima, it was electoral death to support them. Someone farting inside a nuclear plant would have been a political scandal, so they weren't going to wait. The future (correctly) was green energy, and Russian gas didn't seem like a bad bridge; after all, foresight is 20/20. You would have been seen as a cold war holdout nutter for raising fears of Russian dependence.

HN always finds public distrust of nuclear to be solely ignorance and oil propaganda, but that's reductive. My (pregnant!) mother woke up one day in the Soviet bloc and suddenly everything fresh in the stores was gone. No explanation, just hushed rumors and "don't eat anything not out of a can." The explanation came a day later. I imagine it wasn't very nice being on the other side and having minimal info during the first days. That's something traumatic that stays with people, not merely a Koch brothers psyop.

Sure, the Soviets were reckless, but the worst was avoided. A couple of decades later, the people who lived during Chernobyl are older, time has passed, and public opinion relaxes. Then Fukushima happens, minimal info again, and every bad memory comes back. We get the info? Just fuckup after fuckup: they knew the sea wall was too low, diesel backups were badly designed, staff wasn't trained correctly, HQ wanted to stop seawater cooling during a meltdown to save equipment.

This was not a technical failure but gross human error in famously detail-oriented Japan. Every reassurance since 1986 about nuclear energy rang hollow. The time for the fail-safe wunder-reactors was the 2000s with a wide rollout.

There are many technical arguments showing that further development and rollout of nuclear energy was the correct choice after Chernobyl, but the public's worries were never "nutty."
Generally agree with what you said, but "Cops are known to be abusive, violent thugs" is a terrible thing to say completely unqualified like that.

If you don't understand why, consider that crime rates are known to be higher among the black population in the US but generalizing that to "black people are known to be abusive, violent thugs" would be equally wrong and hateful. You can make a point about the potential for abuse without name-calling an entire group of people like that.

Yeah, this seems to be true for most pyramid models. It's really annoying when you start to spot it.

> They can. Fine tune them on documents describing their identity, capabilities and background. Deepseek v3 used to present itself as ChatGPT. Not anymore

Yes, but many people expect the LLM to somehow self-reflect, to somehow describe how it feels from its first person point of view to generate the answer. It can't do this, any more than a human can instinctively describe how their nervous system works. Until recently, we had no idea that there are things like synapses, electric impulses, axons etc. The cognitive process has no direct access to its substrate/implementation.

If fine-tune ChatGPT into saying that it's an LSTM, it will happily and convincingly insist that it is. But it's not determining this information in real time based on some perception during the forward pass.

I mean there could be ways for it to do self reflection by observing the running script, perhaps raise or lower the computational cost of some steps, check the timestamps of when it was doing stuff vs when the GPU was hot etc and figure out which process is itself (like making gestures in front of a mirror to see which person you are). And then it could read its own Python scripts or something. But this is like a human opening up their own skull and look around in there. It's not direct first-person knowledge.
Welp! Egg on my face twice!

"public schools are at best a democraticly controlled monopoly with captive consumers"

Public schools are not companies with a monopoly, nor do they have consumers, these are very loaded terms. Do you speak of all infrastructure in this way? Do you say the police have consumers? Or the firefighters a monopoly on putting out fires? Roads a monopoly on letting cars drive over them?

This world view that everything relates to money first and foremost, lives on markets, only improves by competition, should justify its existence in some measurable wealth producing way is very dangerous in my opinion, because not everything can work this way.

Public service has to be unprofitable in many cases, its first mission is to bring a service to the population, not to compete with the private sector. I once visited Maripasoula, a <10k pop town in the middle of the Amazon only accessible by river or small (10-20 passenger) propeller plane. I was fascinated to see it has: a post office (that doubles as a bank), a modern high school with dorms, firefighters and a police station. No private sector actor is going to provide any such service to this population in these conditions. These services do not improve by competition, because there can be none, yet they exist and work well. Crazy, that.

Where there is a mix of private and public, the private sector only services where (be it location or target population wise) it is most profitable and leaves the rest to the public sector to fend with. That does not in itself indicate it functions better, only that it only goes for the lowest hanging fruit by essence of why it exists: to maximize profit. The private sector is not in the business of making its life complicated, the end goal of any company is to provide the least possible for the highest price possible.

In the case of schooling, private schools' only merit is being inaccessible to the poorer populations, hence giving kids a network that sits higher on the social ladder. Generalize this and you find that it no longer brings anything worthwhile to the table, except for those with arbitrary educational constraints such as religious ones. Not that this "benefit" is particularly defensible to begin with.
Some of these models still produce great results with something low like 2.7 bits per variable.
There's a similar issue around phone metadata. If someone knows that you've made a particular call at a certain time, you wouldn't be concerned about them spying on you, but if they had access to all your phone call records, then they can put together a picture about you and your acquaintances.
Simulated annealing has long been one of the classic metaheuristic methods applied to autorouting in circuit design. It was widely used in early research and some commercial tools because its probabilistic approach helps escape local minima in these NP‐hard problems. Today, while many modern autorouters in industry tend to favor faster or more specialized hybrid methods, simulated annealing remains a common benchmark in academic studies and research prototypes for routing and related tasks like floorplanning.

Source: I once wrote a simulated annealer for VLSI wiring. It was cool.
Use "But" Strategically
What does forwarder mean to you here? Because, from my perspective, a forwarder that I don't trust--or even know about--should not be allowed to deliver legitimate-looking mail from my domain. DKIM alone is weak to replay and payload extension so I don't think, as it stands right now, it is sufficient on its own.

So it seems, to me, that SPF is working exactly as it ought to. Just to be clear, this isn't pure theory or ignorant preference on my part, I've set up SPF for trusted forwarders before.
The problem is that they do all this but don't use the cameras to enforce speed limits or red lights. We get all the surveillance but none of the road safety.
