Once you strip out all the helper code for tuples and args, it's really not the worst. Made sense to me on the first read. Sensible naming and not that much metaprogramming indirection going on, thank god.

Ask llama to recommend you a pair of sunglasses, then look to see if the top recommendation by the LLM matches a brand that has advertisement association with the creator of llama.

Soon we will start seeing chatbots preferring some brands and products over others, without them telling that they were fine tuned or training biased for that.

Unless brand placement is forbidden by purging it from training data, we'll never know if it is introduced bias or coincidence. You will be introduced to ads without even noticing they are there.
"For some reason", really?

The US reconstructed Europe after WW2 using its own funds mostly and has subsidized its defense spending for the past 80 years and counting.

Europe also has enormous amounts of resource wealth expropriated from its many colonies around the world, plus significant ownership stakes in resource supply chains in those countries that persists to this day. Every single Russian oligarch, plus dictators in Asia and Africa have stashed their wealth in European banks.
For some reason (not sure why, maybe it was the discussion of portability and this fun NVIDIA not-quite-assembly language), this made me wonder: has anybody gotten really good at writing LLVM IIR? It seems fairly low level, and but also quite portable. And… I don’t know, I’m talking about a topic I don’t know much about, so I’m happy to be corrected here, but as a static-single-assignment language maybe it is… even more machine sympathetic than assembly? (I’m under the impression that writing really high performance assembly is really quite difficult, you have to keep a ton of instructions in flight at once, right?)

Running Gemini models, for one.
Electrons and positrons have been smashed together before. It has been done at CERN before, too. The premise of this experiment is to do it at higher energy than has been done before.

The scientific goals of that experiment are somewhat more unclear, though. The LHC had a landmark scientific purpose, finding the last particle in the standard model. There is, as far as I can tell, no specific experiment that can be the headline for this new machine because the LHC pretty much did its job (modulo some error) and string theory et al need higher energy. There are a bunch of guesses about the higgs field and about dark matter that failed to materialize at the LHC, so now we want moar energy to see if that fixes our problems.

As to the theory they will be proving, maybe there are a few minor ones about the higgs field, but that's pretty much it at this point.
I cannot tell either. It seems to be a potentially well-intended remark about correcting an inaccurate historical analogy to the current U.S. national leadership. It may be important to remark upon potentially inaccurate information, even if in the comments section of an Internet forum, because otherwise more people will have a wrong impression of the French Revolution and the role of guillotines. When they go to watch Les Miserables they will also be surprised. This last remark was unimportant and for that, I deeply apologize.
I'm not much of a particles guy but isn't the lack of "expected" discoveries itself a discovery?
I've created some crazy types with zod since v3 released, these look like really interesting changes for v4.

I've been bit by performance issues, and even a few issues where I just couldn't infer types, with some of the more complex schemas I tried to define, especially with multiple .extend() and .omit() calls.

The zod-mini library looks particularly interesting. I don't mind the more functional approach with nested functions rather than chaining. Reminds me of ramda, that library is pretty massive but still easy to tree shake since everything is functional.
> I built a few small functions in different languages (Python, Go, Rust) that do neat things — data cleanup, API scraping, PDF generation — but none of them are “products” by themselves.

Publish PIP packages, rust crates, and go gophers (?). You can call them `splime-utils` or something and it'll always be available.

Pro tip: cover it with a few unit tests, and every time you get a bug report add to your series of tests.
So I'm normally a fan of science but I'm torn on this one because, as far as I can tell, there's no clear objective with this collider. It just seems to be bumping up collision energy (to ~100TeV) and hoping something interesting pops out.

The LHC had a clear objective: to experimentally validate the Higgs boson, which it did. There have been a ton of experiments since but AFAIK all those have really done is invalidated various theories. That has value, for sure.

But it really seems like we need to play catch up and work out a theoretical model in what we'd actually search for with a bigger collider, rather than hoping higher energies will break something significant in the Stnardard Model in such a way that it'll give us a clue to a theory beyond the Standard Model.

Think of it like looking for a treasure ship. As a salvager you may know from historical records that a given Spanish ship, carrying gold and silver from the New World, sunk on its way back to Spain. You may have developed a model to really narrow down where on the ocean floor you want to search. That's what the LHC was. But this seems like throwing a dart at a map and searching the ocean floor to see if anything interesting shows up.
Those are wildly different crossovers. That glass roof on the Y adds a lot of weight, it’s kind of silly how popular such an impractical feature became.

The other common issue with EV’s is many don’t integrate the batteries casing as a structural element. Skipping the lead acid battery would also be useful, but that’s a different issue.

Back in the 1990’s when I moved away from the UK they had the opposite service. You send an email and the Royal Mail sends it as a letter. I forget the name of the service but it was a good way to “email” someone before everyone had email. I still think it’d be nice to have today.

I've observed similar things to happen in other tools too - third-party tools that will list a certain set of file formats by default, and enable Autodesk formats if C:/Autodesk is present.

It seems to be most common in systems that cross major business domains (or come from completely separate companies). If you could just add an entry to the featureful, versioned, controlled config file then you'd do that, but if you can't developers frequently resort to the "does this path name resolve" heuristic.
There's a sentiment here that I think is valid and I'm struggling to tease out the best version of it, along with providing a valid response.

I'll mention that, in an extreme case, one could provide a proof-of-work challenge that's directly tied to some cryptocurrency mining effort, so that the work/energy expenditure is captured by the one providing the challenge. This has the effect of the challenger giving money to the one providing the challenge, just in a real-time proof-of-work way. Since money is effectively being exchanged anyway, this punishes systems that don't allow up-front payments to do away with the page load delay.

> Usually there is a hidden variable that you don't know.

This is frequently the case. I've worked at big employers (comparable in level of corporate-ness to Google if not absolute size) where the layoff process, roughly was:

1. Aggregate layoff target gets set and apportioned amongst functional leaders, then targets cascaded down to the line manager level.

2. Managers fill out a stack ranking spreadsheet for their team across a few metrics including a boolean "diversity" field[0]. There were many rumors about the "diversity field", most notably that anyone so flagged would not be fired, but so far as I could tell these were false (see point #4)

3. People to be fired are developed based on these lists (I.e., if a manager has to fire two people, then the two lowest-ranked employees per the spreadsheet are selected.)

4. HR does a meta-analysis of all to-be-fired employees, ensuring that a disproportionate number of employees from protected classes are not impacted. If too many are, then some of the next-lowest-ranked employees are selected to be fired in their stead.

As far as I could tell, the only part of the process where any sort of individual, human consideration was occurring was maybe at the line manager level if they decided to tweak the stack rankings based on who they felt deserved to be protected. And then, to the extent that happens, you have all the problems with bias and favoritism that come into play.

There's definitely a correlation between higher spectacle and poorer storytelling and less artful visuals. I was discussing this recently specifically in the context of less 'cinematic' cinematography in VFX-heavy super hero films and arrived at three primary conclusions:

* There are specific reasons for this correlation driven by the additional on-set shooting requirements placed on the cinematographer, lighting director and camera team to support VFX. This takes time and focus away from artfully lighting and lensing the live action elements and producers don't always budget sufficient time for both. When something has to give, it isn't going to be shooting the VFX plates.

* There are specific aesthetic reasons driving this. On a film with 2000 VFX elements that will later be layered into almost every live action scene, the cinematographer and lighting director are understandably reluctant to light or lens expressively beautiful shots because matching those shots can be more challenging for the VFX teams. It's easier (and faster) for everyone if the cinematographer lights and lenses with a more flat look. I recently saw an interview with the cinematographer on the Marvel series Loki (Season 2) and he said that he talked extensively with the VFX director specifically about this issue and the VFX director was unique in telling him, "Nope, shoot it how you really want to and we'll match you." Obviously, this was enabled in-part by the Marvel-level budget and talent. But it's interesting that it's rare enough to be notable.

* Ultimately, there's good evidence that VFX-heavy films don't have to look "flat HDR boring". We have counter-examples like "The Batman" (2022) proving a VFX-soaked super hero movie with beautifully expressive lighting and principle photography is possible. It's just hard, requires more time and money and you need highly skilled people.

Whatever you think of Sabine, it's not accurate to dismiss this as spinning lies for clicks. Very similar core points are also made here:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00793-x

It seems accurate that this is an expensive proposed experiment with less expensive alternatives, with very real debate about costs and benefits.

I'm in the "spend more money on theory first" camp. You keep saying that theorists should guide experimenters, but you seem to mean that in the limited sense of poking a little harder at the Standard Model and hoping it breaks.

Meanwhile there are all kinds of open questions where fundamental theory around and parallel to the Standard Model is underdeveloped.

It might well be better to spend a few billion on doing something about that first, then designing experiments to test whatever falls out.

The argument here isn't so much that individual artists don't have their specific styles, but rather whether AI actually tracks that, or whether using "in the style of ..." is effectively a substitute for identifying the more general style category to which this artist belongs.
First it will be optional, then it will be mandatory for some cases (in China, in Trump's US), then it will be mandatory in some companies, so the AI can watch employees, do accurate reports about their day to day activities, then it will mandatory for everyone (for security reason, ensuring you don't work on harmful things, because knowing what you do is important for Microsoft to know what to improve, to sell you ads based on your activity)...

I would suggest to look into the various whimsical subsidies of the city hall, the very expensive procurement of useless products or the ruinous public housing policy, that all serve to help the friends of the mayor and the constellation of fake associations that support her.

Both C and C++ release new versions. The compilers continue to support the old versions and people continue using the old versions (less so in the case of C++). Rust’s compiler drops the old version every time it has a new release.

There is no `-std=1.85` in rust 1.86. You do get `-std=c++98` in both g++ and clang++. A book on C or C++ is still useful even decades later since the version of C or C++ described does not become abandonware at some well defined point after release, unlike Rust releases.
Rust also has a great type system and zero-cost abstractions. Plus there's already cuda if you want to run C on the GPU.
The Xreal is a nice device. I got the first gen for $199. I'm able to plug this into the MacBook pro and watch Netflix in bed. The fonts do look a bit blurry and small. I don't think I can work with it full time. I don't have myopia (or my number is small to notice).
It originates from the code page 37, which is the EBCDIC-based character set for US and Canada. At least initially EBCDIC code pages are numbered sequentially while PC DOS code pages were numbered more or less randomly; I have no clue why it is the code page 437 and not 337. (I can see why it is not 137 nor 237, as later code pages were numbered from 251.)
And yet they couldn't even name one street that would be turned into a pedestrian one! Or give a budget! World class management right here heh?
The tester they give is basically just a pulse oximeter that logs your heart rate and SpO2 all night. I'm not sure how they interpret it, but I'd imagine that if your heart rate goes crazy and your oxygen drops, that's probably bad.

Otherwise you can look at questionnaires that ask things like whether you wake up a lot at night or snore, etc.

That said... it's pretty easy to just get a device that they give you that you connect to your phone to log data for a night. And they know what they're doing when they interpret it. So I would recommend that, since it's really easy to just go to a place and get a device and do a test.

This isn't like it used to be where you'd have to sleep in some strange place.

But the use of randomness inside the system should not prevent, in theory, as-if-full reliability - this stresses that the architecture could be unfinished, as I expressed with the example of RAG. (E.g.: well trained natural minds use check systems over provisional output, however obtained.)

Practical question: if the query-contextual documentation needs to be part of the input (I am not aware of a more efficient way), does not that massively impact the processing time? Suppose you have to examine interactively the content of a Standard Hefty Document of 1MB of text... If so, that would make local LLM use prohibitive.

The thing that’s really been getting to me, is that, I’m liberal, not pro-Trump, but the MAGA American heartland story has been really getting to me. I want to see small business, manufacturing, small town American succeed. And there’s some part of me that thought maybe Trump, as much as I don’t like him, is the thing that is needed to make that happen, but man it seems like he’s really fucking over the people who supported him the most.
The budget deficit is not the trade deficit. You are not taking on debt when you purchase a foreign good, just like you as an individual don't take on debt when you go to Walmart and exchange money for goods but Walmart doesn't buy anything from you.

The US domestic economy is vastly larger than its foreign trade (which is only 20% of America's GDP), so you can in fact run a persistent trade deficit and a budget surplus at the same time, which the US actually did for a while during the 90s and early 2000s. We need to teach more economics honestly.

That's a bad doctor, IMHO. Ours at least could be talked to and would adjust the pressure, etc.
I agree and my rationale of it is that it's related to the US dedication to capitalism and thus aversion to any form of socialism (even small pockets that, in my opinion, are evidently positive for society as a whole) as some kind of governmental totalitarianism.
It depends on who was harmed. When countries were banning slavery (or serfdom in places where it was functionally equivalent, like Russia), slave owners made this very argument that depriving them of legitimately acquired workpower was an undeserved and unfair calamity for them, and were generally compensated.
