The point is not how fast it is now. The point is that this opens new possibilities that can be built on. Potentially models that are trained with slightly different architectures to optimize to this use case. Possibly others come to improv

I'll repeat the bit about professionals being trained to avoid and deescalate. That is the point. I think the details of this, and many similar incidents clearly show a lack of attempt to deescalate or avoid. That was the clear argumen

A professional looks at and understands the situation as it exists now. A professional is trained to not get into situations where fear controls them. Your argument is a compelling one that either these are not professionals or that they ar

I'm not sure a faster loop is helping. It may actually be the problem. I have taken to creating 'collaboration' and 'temp_code' folders that I am spending more and more time in. By the time I am actually ready to to

There are two aspects to this. The desire to learn and the utility of learning. These are two very different things. Arguably the best programmers I have known have been explorers and hopped around a lot. Their primary skills have been flex

When I start a new project with a team I start off with asking 'how we will work' and part of that is 'how we will communicate'. Less is more in that world. Jira, confluence, github, slack, email, standup, ad-hock meetin

I totally missed/muddled the 'clarity' and 'unity' arguments in my response. It would have been a great final point. There is a big difference between being direct and being clear. When there is an issue, what I am

The writer asks for it, so I will be blunt. They are demanding people have perfectly formed thoughts crafted in a way to give them just the information they wanted with no consideration for the process of thinking or consideration for the p

Anyone have a good take on how well Asahi linux keeps the power management working on mac hardware? The biggest killer feature for me of mac hardware is the battery/weight. I have found it hard to get a good laptop in the linux ecosyst

I have wrestled with the concept of 'classified' many times. The question is always how you balance democracy's need for information with the real need to keep some things away from adversaries. I think the only answer is to

I know nothing of the rise of the underwater drone but I highly suspect they are loud and slow and no match for ships designed to look for modern submarines.

Yes. I think the biggest issues though are: - We likely don't have the assets to move the amount traffic that needs to get through - We probably can't protect them perfectly (we don't have maritime supremacy) so ships will st

Hm. It seems that use actually goes two ways. They continue to use my information even when I leave their platform. Does this mean I can email info@google.com updated TOS, since I am a party to it I guess, and if they keep selling my info t

Our public discourse is focused mainly on 'things are terrible because of the other person'. MAGA shows this since it is predicated purely on this concept. You can only make something great again if it isn't great now. The ch

Proof of <insert here> seems to be a growing concept. I just wrote and erased a post because half way through I decided to go down a rabbit hole. Long story short it seems like Privacy-Preserving Reputation Systems is a thing. Maybe

A key thing in this graph is that it doesn't seem to correlate to the rise of code assistants. That is a (relatively) recent last year thing from my point of view. Yes, they were there before, but they hadn't really hit in a way t

What needs to be an option is to allow complete and then compact and if needed go into the 1m version. That way you can get the most out of the shorter window but in the case where it just couldn't finish and compact in time it will (a

There should be two knives so the volunteer can defend themselves if they don't think starting a war is worth it.

The people that actually target and launch these things do think about what they have done. It is the people ordering them to do it that don't. There is a difference, I hope.

War is not moral. It may be necessary, but it is never moral. The only best choice is to fight at every turn making war easy. Our adversaries will, or likely already have, gone the autonomous route. We should be doing everything we can to p

You think privacy is getting better over time? Honestly? Is there any credible source that is documenting privacy in the US getting better?

Yes, and even their two exceptions, only one is on moral grounds. They don't want to provide tools for autonomous killing machines because the technology isn't good enough, yet. Once that 'yet' is passed they will be fin

I am evolving my views on personal privacy. I am, like many people, trying to passively defend myself. However, the environment today is more akin to people coming up and punching you than it is to just avoiding door to door sales people. W

To really take advantage of those gpu cores you need memory bandwidth. Modern transformer based LLMs are really bandwidth hungry. I am really happy to see this first push. NVIDIA having discrete GPU/memory/etc is an option, but no

The people harmed here were the US public and they are just going to continue to be harmed. The right answer is people go to jail. Until people start going to jail, being disbarred, etc, this will keep happening. This isn't a remedy. T

So, our city clearly has other cameras but they are from a different vendor (and don't show up on the map). I wonder how good/bad the other players in the industry are. Flock gets the press, is that just letting someone worse quie

Cloud = the right choice when just starting. It isn't about infra cost, it is about mental cost. Setting up infra is just another thing that hurts velocity. By the time you are serving a real load for the first time though you need to

I care about the future. I care that actions taken help improve the future. If someone makes a mistake the question shouldn't ever be 'how do we punish them' but instead 'what actions can best improve the future'. S
