Simple solution is:

- Rely on manned platforms and JDAMs, they work perfectly, cheap, and abundant. It was demonstrated that US pilots can fly anywhere in Iran including nuclear sites and center of Tehran with very little risk and let that be the case. Supply of retiring, effectively expendable F-16s is limitless (they will be written off for being worn out or just plainly aged out, much faster than they can be realistically shot down). US has enormous capacity for training fighter pilots.

- Don't use Patriot missiles to shoot down cheap targets, have plenty of 3D printed interceptors for everything that flies below 250 mph - Shaheds, jet-powered Shaheds (at the limit), helicopters, piston-powered and most turboprop planes, suicide boats. Use Patriots and THAADs for ballistic missiles with over 500km range, these are few in numbers and interceptors will be sufficient.

- Develop and mass-produce an interceptor missile compatible with Patriot system and capable of taking out an unsophisticated ballistic target with <500km range. In fact, no need to develop it, just buy them from Ukraine when they are done developing. Ukraine is under a lot more pressure than any of us. They have no way around building it, so just buy from them when they are ready. Mass produce it.

- Cruise missiles are pretty much out of the picture, it seems both Iranians and Russians realised they don't really work in this reality anymore.


I remember the good ol' days when our parents told us what we could and could not use or buy. If Johnny's parents let them do something, Johnny's parents would get admonished for it and we just wouldn't see Johnny anymore.

Then we'd have to hear the Brexiteers whining on and on about democracy.

This way we get to see their project fail.

I don't know which one is better.

It's ok, it's a KV store.

If it isn't, you are doing something terribly wrong.


And yet, they voted for the governments that killed privacy and established surveillance in public, because they love privacy so much.

Practically, the components of Android which mandate a user account are not distributed so that the user can modify them. The exemption does not apply.

I've tried fasting and intermittent fasting.

I got multiple times to 48+ hours, the thing that always kill the efforts to reach 72 hours is headache, no amount of brot and salt saves me.

In any case, recently, I swapped to just having a healthier lifestyle, I walk at least one hour 5 days out of 7, do weights twice a weak (mostly body weight exercises at home).

Also, it helps that I do this while working. I can do lots of stuff from my phone, including reviewing PRS, mails or pushing small fixes as I walk through the park.


those agencies aren't the ones lobbying. take a look at the 'ngos' lobbying for chat control.

This is a bit silly, and has the same tinge as lolcow posts about asking "Chat" when "my son in 3rd grade is going to graduate college". There are a million fasting apps that show based on how long its been since your last meal what is happening in your body, say ketosis or autophagy. Off the top of my head for Android there's Easy Fast, Zero, MyFastingApp (OSS); it's public information that doesn't require inference to derive

Fuck! Why I'm just staring at it like I did ~20 years ago. It's not even real!

And it blue screens?


If jokes are hate speech, then my life is a human rights violation.

There is an Issue for that: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/7051


Seems that zVault 'did not make it' - https://zvault.io/ - even the page is gone now.

Lets hope FreeCORE will make it longer.

Is there a single reason why we can't just "distribute" the online softmax?

Each die-attached PIM accelerator computes online softmax for its own KVs. Then the central unit gathers the softmax intermediates, one intermediate per die, and uses those to compute the final softmax.

The PIM win is that we crater the memory traffic between the central accelerator and the memory dies for attention ops. This isn't "run the entire LLM in PIM", no - this is "offload the parts of LLM that benefit from PIM the most to PIM".


So by “scale” they mean their business model

It's mind blowing for me whenever the hardware abstraction leaks like this. You (ie Firefox) had to call the instructions in a specific order to cause the hardware to fail.

I think the language unhelpful and potentially making it difficult to understand what actually happens in the RL state as reading it imparts a human lens.

Bacteria do all sorts of fascinating things. And much simpler ML etc. systems also (like winning by out of memorying the opponent) - I see nothing really special here.


USSR made compact fridges like that, called Морозко. They are still made. No moving parts, very quiet.

I dunno about 2/3rds, but there should definitely be some kind of supermajority required for things like joining or leaving the EU.

Even a 55% requirement would be a lot better than a simple majority imo.


And we used AI for it....

A.K.A creationism for economics.

I agree quality blindness is curable. Many communities (e.g. Japanese, Swiss, Yemeni, Peruvian etc) have shown attention to detail is just a learning and, most importantly, social status process. Bugs are just the opposite of caring, and caring is at odds with hustle culture. I think Apple is a great example here - used to be meticulous and now every day the amount of tiny defects is just infuriating (just now I realised, for example, that Photos can't scroll with a mouse).

I recreated a short version of the traditional West African folktale “Tortoise and the Birds” using LEGO-style animation.

The story is about Tortoise using his cleverness to join a feast in the sky, but his greed ultimately gets him into trouble.

I was interested in seeing whether a very old oral storytelling tradition could work in a simple, modern LEGO visual format.


Looks like correlation, not causation.

Funny how this post appears in my timeline just above:

Fair Work Commission condemns 'plain wrong' AI legal advice | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49497357

Folks, until LLMs (but more probably, something that succeeds them) know that they don't know, or know that they hallucinate, don't take medical, legal, technical, financial (...) advice without a fair amount of salt.


The next two replys are people telling me it's corporations...

Maybe 10ish years ago the left was all on board with individual action, but now it has heavily shifted to "I can drive my SUV because it's on Big Oil to fix the climate"


Romance chatbots say what?

The same paper specifically notes that the increase of units affordable to very low income levels depends on there being any significant number of units affordable to very low income levels in the first place, and that's something that's functionally nonexistent in places like San Francisco and NYC.

The World Solar Challenge is now held in (Australian) winter, to make it harder.
