Weather 2 doesn't seem to have been an ensemble model. Weather 3 is, so theoretically it can get more accurate outcomes by taking the probabilistic analysis of several models concurrently to determine the most likely weather conditions.

I'm building a tool right now that uses an ensemble to determine wind gust likelihood, which is useful for safety critical work on construction sites and the like.

Do you have the cheap models summarize the files? How do they get the relevant information to the bigger models?

Out of curiosity, what do you do to distribute the weights and inference across the multiple machines?

Weirdly, this is controlled by the brain as part of the sympathetic nervous system: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23262-sympathetic...

I don't know if you could consider what the AV node in the heart does as "processing". It's more like a clock, to my understanding.

No, and I don't think they're meant to fool humans.

Ingestion, like eating?

I do like the Potemkin Village metaphor for things like the website in question. Given how little effort something like this takes, I imagine there are a lot more of them than I've considered before, and given the way search engines operate and index, and LLMs scrape relatively indiscriminately, it seems to have implications that go beyond Google's stupid summarized answers at the top of the results page.

As another American, you understand that reasonable taxes applied in a progressive manner (with those who have benefitted more from society paying more) are what allow individuals to enjoy the freedoms that you want, right? Because if we don't all pay in according to how much we have, then you're free to make your own decisions until all of the people below you rise up and take back what they have been denied. If you don't believe me, look at essentially any part of history.

The remake is on Steam

Look, our culture does not reward excellence, so those people are doing the least possible to not get fired. That's kind of the whole American thing in general at this point. Nobody is doing great outside of technology workers, and even then, only some of them. You're not going to have a great experience in general from people here. There are always outliers, but those are individuals who have found some internal motivation to go above and beyond, and it's not a systemic thing.

How difficult would it have been to isolate that problem if you didn't already know the SQLite subsystem it was in? This feels, to someone relatively ignorant of the SQLite / Tailscale / Antithesis architectures as a "hindsight is 20/20" kind of thing, but I'm open to learning more.

It was coined by Apple engineers who would agree to whatever Steve wanted them to do while Steve was at their desk, and then when he left they'd be distraught over what they'd agreed to.

My favorite (probably apocryphal) Microsoft brain teaser question I've heard is, "If you had to move Mt Fuji, how would you do it?"

I've never interviewed there, or been asked that question, but I think it would be a lot of fun to answer.

I was literally thinking this reminds me of Google+ and Buzz.

I'll second this. I'm continually impressed with the breadth of coverage from Asianometry. Great channel.

oh wow, an entire seedy underbelly I was unaware of. Thanks, great reply. Appreciated!

>through proxies and heavily discounted token resellers

Could you explain a little more about how this works? Are you saying that the Chinese run or have backdoored something like OpenRouter?

Unless you're executing these commands in a loop over a large number of items, or the item itself is gargantuan, it's almost always harmless.

Personally, when I'm exploring, I build a command line iteratively. Cat the file to see the content, pipe to grep to get the lines I want, sed/awk/cut/etc to finagle from there.

Yeah, a $100 AI music video is materially worse than not having a music video.

Also goes the other way, where you use the decoy to give instructions to the AI...

It would be nice if inference could somehow perform token generation using "contractions" of "fluffy" tokens, where combining those tokens doesn't decrease nuance but provides additional efficiency. That may already be happening - I haven't looked at the most modern methods of inference in a long long time.

I don't know if it's fair to say that a tokenizer is being less efficient if it generates more tokens per text. I think it's more fair to say the tokenizer is more nuanced. The question is whether the additional nuance permits better model output, which could justify the additional token cost in inference.

Oh yeah, well that may be. Once I got X working in Slack, I did boot into that, but then again, back then I didn't know how to recompile my kernel and the machine did this interesting loop where it would try a few different drivers until it got to the one that worked with my matsushita CD drive.

Honestly not that far off from my 486 DX2/66 back in the day

What are you using to replace etcd here? Where is state stored?

It doesn't take away joy. It does cause me to be slapped in the face with the "full" feeling while I am in the middle of eating, which is like 15 minutes earlier than I used to get it. I don't overeat anymore because I would be literally miserable if I did. It would be like force-feeding myself. But before I get that full feeling, food is excellent.

Oh hi, I'm a heart attack survivor who had GLP-1 prescribed by my cardiologist for its heart-protecting benefits. I told my cardiologist that I wasn't losing weight as fast as I thought I would, and he said, quote, "I don't care about you losing weight. That's not why I prescribed you this."

So I'm not sure your first sentence is universally accurate.

People automate things they don't value.
