he wasn't deported, he was legally in the US and then randomly got kidnapped by the US Federal Government, who then paid the El Salvadorian government to him put in a super maximum security prison for no reason, indefinitely. the US government is now refusing to comply with a court order to bring him back.

the US media has absolutely no ability (or interest) in grappling with the reality of the situation they have helped cause.

As someone who's encountered the "pet-shit-on-the-floor" problem, I can assure you that this description is inaccurate.
Nope that update with the rank one update is exactly the projected gradient of the reconstruction loss. That's not the way it is usually taught. So Hebbian learning was an unfortunate example.

Gradient descent is only one way of searching for a minima, so in that sense it is not necessary, for example, when one can analytically solve for the extrema of the loss. As an alternative one could do Monte
Carlo search instead of gradient descent. For a convex loss that would be less efficient of course.

People need to clearly understand: The U.S is paying a dictator to operate concentration camps outside the U.S. and is asserting in public and at court that courts can do nothing about it.

Ignoring this and hoping it goes away is how it is getting worse. And it will get much worse still.

That's pretty much the least interesting thing you could possibly say about the author.
> But that overhead is gonna be fixed-cost, and paid one-time at e.g. session initialization, not every time per e.g. request/response.

I don't work for a foundational model provider, but how do you think the tool definitions get into the LLM? I mean, they aren't fine-tuning a model with your specific tools definitions, right? Your just using OpenAI's base model (or Claude, Gemini, etc.) So at some point the tool definitions have to be added to the prompt. It is just getting added to the prompt auto-magically by the foundation provider. That means it is eating up some context window, just a portion of the context window that is normally reserved for the provider, a section of the final prompt that you don't get to see (or alter).

Again, while I don't work for these companies or implement these features, I cannot fathom how the feature could work unless it was added to every request. And so the original point of the thread author stands.

> Honest question, what recourse does someone in this situation even have?

None.

> Would the ICC take this case?

Maybe, not that it would matter much given that even member states refuse to enforce rulings if they run contra to U.S. goals.

> Are there any penalties that would (in theory) apply to either country?

No.
Isn’t Guantanamo something similar?

I especially like that it provides a sample database. Would be nice it were downloadable as a file, so we could explore it with our own tools as well and get a better feeling for how the tool works.
He's been in jail for a month. If he isn't dead or seriously injured, there is a high likelihood he has had to join MS-13 or Barrio 18 (listed terrorist organizations) just to survive while locked up with hardened gang members. Which according to the DoJ would make him ineligible for withholding of removal.

Does anyone know if this is true? That could create a real catch-22, toss someone into a prison full of gang members, make them join a foreign terrorist organization to survive, then invalidate their withholding because they are now a terrorist.
A common structure would be something like:

* Class A - voting shares, founders / controlling parties, etc. Typically small fixed share count (e.g. 100), not issued dividends directly but used to represent percent of controlling interest.

* Class B - non-voting shares, early stage employees, advisors, supporters, etc. Used to issue dividends.

* Class C - Same as class B but reserved for future issuance through more formal programs like ESOP when you're ready for that

Then you might have some preferred shares for investors, say class D and E for two investor groups and then a Class F for convertible debt (even bootstrapped companies can have owner / friends / family / seed / etc money, plus may want to not rule out raising at some point).

This is obviously a lot of classes, but by doing something like this you can separate control from economic upside, create different terms / stock agreements for different classes, keep room for future planning (things like ESOP), facilitate investor needs (they almost always want preferred shares), have more flexibility with fundraising or convertible debt, etc.

I'm not actually trying to argue that exactly six classes are necessary or optimal, but moreso that its common to want not just one single share class. Practically speaking I imagine that firm does six because they're trying to give a template that'll work for many of their companies and reduce the amount of per-customer customization. My company has less although more than one.
It's not the point of the announcement, but I do like the use of the (abs) subscript to demonstrate the improvement in LLM performance since in these types of benchmark descriptions I never can tell if the percentage increase is absolute or relative.

Those are two mostly unrelated discussions.

If you do demanding work, a full working week is 20-30 hours. Even 40 hours is too much and cannot be sustained in the long term. You can do more in the short term, but you'll eventually burn yourself out. Longer hours are only possible with routine and/or fake work that doesn't really make you more productive.

All organizations eventually stagnate, because humans have their own goals instead of being mindless cogs in the machine. SpaceX is still young enough that it may not be showing clear signs of stagnation, but it's hard to see that from the outside. Google is a few years older and clearly suffering from conflicting interests.
correct, and in another place they're claiming that the habeas petition that was filed to save another victim was invalid because it was filed in the wrong state, because the Feds had kidnapped the woman, then refused to say where they had taken her until she was safely in a friendlier jurisdiction. due process has already died.

> You’ve also stated you want to ignore the timezone and display 12 in whatever tz.

No I didn't. I literally said "You need to store things permanently with the timezone". Obviously lunch at 12 belongs to a specific timezone.

> Yet again, no need for long lived datetime.

You keep saying this. I don't know where you're getting it from. You need to store these things in databases. If my calendar goes 2 years in the future, these datetimes live for 2 years at least.

It sounds like you're arguing that datetime libraries don't need to exist. I'm genuinely baffled. That feels as nonsensical to me as saying that floating point numbers don't need to exist. Long-lived datetimes are a commonly required thing in anything regarding calendars or scheduling. If you don't believe there is a genuine use case for this, I don't know what to tell you.

I was trying initially to provide you with a basic answer to what seemed to be a genuine question, but I can't help you anymore.

Very easy with the naming system?
I wonder if some sort of coalition of compounding pharmacists might be up for making and retaining a repository. They at least make some money by helping would-be patients take these drugs, right? So even if it's nothing like Big Pharma money, I can't really think of anybody who'd have a better chance to benefit from promoting off-label use cases for out of patent drugs than them.
> Once drugs lose patent protection, it's difficult for them to gain approval for new indications, because drug approval procedures are extremely expensive and there's no patent holder left for whom it would make economic sense to spend all that money.

This is precisely why I think a gov't run research effort is the right way to handle this. You don't want to grant a new patent on the existing drug just because of new use of it. That would prevent the generics being used for the original purpose. So if the bigPharma company that created it for original purposes does not want to spend money researching alternate uses, then allow the gov't direct the research in the name of keeping its citizens healthy.

Unfortunately, that doesn't really stand up as a great solution with using the current administration as an example of what happens when you get anti-science mindsets in charge of things. It also helps to have a gov't that is empathetic for its citizens which does not always happen.

The fact that you cannot wrap your head around something doesn't mean that it's not possible. I do not claim that it is surely possible nor that it isn't. But it sure as hell looks possible.
You also probably don't have kids.
For example: how do you teach a child to speak? Or someone a new language? You show them some objects and their pronunciation. The same with the seagrass and/or a scarf. That's one way. Dolphins can also see (divers with) some objects and name them. We can also guess what they are saying from the sounds plus the actions they do. That's probably how we got "seagrass" in the first place.

For all the word that they don't have in their language, we/they can invent them. Just like we do all the time: artificial intelligence, social network, skyscraper, surfboard, tuxedo, black hole, whatever...

It might also be possible that dolphins' language uses the same patterns as our language(s) and that an LLM that knows both can manage to translate between the two.

I suggest a bit more optimistic look on the world, especially on something that's pretty-much impossible to have any negative consequences for humanity.
This is an even worse intentionally created jurisdictional black hole than Guantanamo Bay.

Abduct someone. Move them faster than their family, friends, and legal counsel can possibly follow. Get them on a plane to El Salvador. Put them in the CECOT hole. And then say "Aw geez, they're in Salvadorian jurisdiction now, nothing we can do."

Yes, Abrego Garcia is a Salvadorian citizen. He also had been explicitly granted protected status to remain in the US.

Nothing about this process prevents its application against US citizens. The detainee is pushed through a one-way valve faster than due process can be applied. If we do not protect the rule of law for immigrants who have been granted the right to stay here, we will also lose the rule of law for citizens.
Yes, but Guantanamo should have been closed (Obama promised to do this! he didn't do it!) and the people who masterminded it should have been thrown in jail. But, no, we had to "look forward" and not punish the war criminals in our immediate past.
I remember at the time being frustrated that, after in person interviewing, they left me hanging for four months.

Very cool seeing this show up on HN. FDA has a bunch of interested datasets like this that are full of interesting data points.

The amount of information transmitted from one generation to the next is potentially much more than the contents of DNA. DNA is not an encoding of every detail of a living body, it is a set of instructions for a living body to create an approximate copy of itself. You can't use DNA, as far as we know, to create a new organism from scratch to create a new organism without having the parent organism around to build it.
We do know for certain that many parts of a cell divide separately from the nucleus and have no relation to the DNA of the cell - most well known being the mitochondria, which have their own DNA, but also many organelles just split off and migrate to the new cell quasi-independently. And this is just the simplest layer in some of the simplest organisms - we have no idea whatsoever how much other information is transmitted from the parent organism to the child in ways other than DNA.

In particular in mammals, we have no idea how actively the mother's body helps shape the child. Of course, there's no direct neuron to neuron contact, but that doesn't mean that the mother's body can't contribute to aspects of even the fetal brain development in other ways.

My understanding is that TIOBE is primarily based on number of search engine results. Other results like number of active (a commit within the last 6-12 months) open source repos or number of new repos in a given language are other metrics worth considering. The project you linked seems to be one like this.

A high search rate doesn't necessarily mean high rate of real world usage. Correlating across multiple metrics would be a better way to measure popularity.

Although popularity itself may still be a weak signal depending on your purposes.

This is misleading when you dig into the data. For starters every state and nation does not record deaths and causes of death consistently, so there's a lot of apples and oranges comparisons going on. Second, in the US depending on the state, any death within 90 days of giving birth is labeled as a pregnancy-related death. The person could be hit by a car, or die of a drug-overdose, and it would be still be identified as a pregnancy related death.

> That fails to understand how power in exceptional situations persists

I was describing how dictators concentrate power to themselves using reasonable-sounding pretexts during the initial stages of self-coups, not how the regimes use the acquired powers to self-sustain.

> ...suddenly they'd lose the support of citizens, one of the key pillars keeping them in power.

Dictators, and political incumbents in general don't need support (in a positive, active sense) to go about the business of exercising political power they already wield.

On the flip side, they need a lack of unified opposition to avoid being voted out/toppled, hence dictators lean on corrupting the courts, use the secret police to disappear opposition, and the like. Autocrats will be very happy with a 0.05% approval/99.9% disapproval ratings, as long as their physical security is not threatened by riotous mobs, and their political power unchallenged.
