Helsing is a military AI company [0] trying to make Terminator I movie a reality in the name of democracy.

> The FBA terms I quoted specifically say that Amazon can co-mingle FBA inventory with their own (if the FBA seller doesn't opt out of "virtual tracking").

The wording in the quote explicitly states that an FBA unit can be substituted by owned by Amazon unit or other FBA units. But the wording is not clear whether SBA (Sold By Amazon) unit can be substituted by an FBA inventory. The terms covering Amazon's "first party inventory" (SBA, a.k.a. Amazon retail) are internal to Amazon and are not shared, AFAIK. But i can be wrong :-)

Congestion pricing is only a half of the solution. The second half should be the MTA reform. MTA has been a dysfunctional mess and a bottomless money pit for as long as I remember. MTA of today will squander any amount of money you throw on it wasting all the potential gains from congestion pricing.

It basically boils down to the dichotomy -- "live to work" or "work to live".

We want "work to be able to live" while the employers want us "live to be able to work".

context window of both opus and sonnet 4 are still the same 200kt as with sonnet-3.7, underwhelming compared to both latest gimini and gpt-4.1 that are clocking at 1mt. For coding tasks context window size does matter.

> and may help to fund their use of Llama models.

I love open weight (and better open source) LLMs and wish Llama all the best! But God help Meta if they have to pay startups to entice them to use their open weights model.

> That being said, lua's lack of popularity probably stems from its limited stdlib, which often feels incomplete, and the absence of a robust package manager. luarocks is a pain to work with.

WoW, you can hold your liquor :-)

This technology of starting a diesel engine using a turbine driven by compressed air was used in Russian T-34 tank during the WWII. While Germans could not start the tanks in the cold of winter 1941 from the frozen batteries the Russians were using compressed air (hand-crank) to start T-34s just fine.

bringing islands together requires one to synchronize both -- frequency and phase. It is super difficult for large generators and transmission lines. transient heat dissipation can be a real bummer.

Had similar problem. Switching to fountain pens resolve it completely.

> As a comparison, full time daycare in Sweden is $100/month for everyone.

Obviously $100/month covers a tiny fraction of the total cost of running a childcare service in Sweden. I am curious how much does state pays to cover the rest.

In this 2003 article Warren Buffett proposed a clever mechanism of ICs (Import Certificates) instead of blunt tariffs to deal with trade imbalance. IC is a "soft" control variable that effectively transfers money from importers to exporters and helps to balance the trade. I wish POTUS implemented such a mechanism instead of blanket tariffs that have huge blast radius.

The title of the article is terrible.

The death rate everywhere in the world is the same and is equal to 100%. Everyone dies someday. The article's title should have used something like "life expectancy" instead of "death rate".

> He was fantastic in the Doors movie. RIP

In fact in the movie Val Kilmer did vocals himself and real members of the Doors said that they could hardly distinguish his singing from real Jim Morrison.

> 2. On the other hand, corrupting of the courts would prevent correcting the system by voting. If the courts are corrupt all hope is lost.

Just last week a turkish court arrested the mayor of Istanbul under similar "corruption" charges. He happens to be the most popular opposition politician challenging Erdogan.

EDIT: forgot to mention that recently Romanian supreme court canceled the elections altogether because the current government did not like the guy who won the first round. And of course he is not allowed to run in the rerun of the elections. People's votes do not seem to count any longer.

You just made a strong case for freedom of speech and free press.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

> It's amazing how right-wing billionaire figures have captured social media platforms and news media outlets, such as Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter/X, Jeff Bezos's takeover of The Washington Post, Patrick Soon-Shiong's takeover of LA Times, and Rupert Murdoch’s continued control of Fox News/Sky News/WSJ/NYPost,

Tight media control and media empires are nothing new. I would recommend you to read about William Randolph Hearst [0] and his media empire in the late eighteen hundreds and watch the movie Citizen Kane.

> I think the suggestion is that the EMR should flag dangerous conditions like this, and notify the doctor on duty to at least take a look at it.

Or a PA or CRN. They are cheaper. As the last resort you can have an AI doing it :-)

If this story narrative is true as described in the article this is a ground for reporting the primary care physician to the state board for a review. I am not saying it is a malpractice per se, but a clear fail of the doctor's practice. All modern EMR systems (most popular in US is Epic) _automatically_ flag all the results that are out of normal range. A physician assistant should be alerted to this fact and take appropriate actions. Sitting on ER grade emergency for two days and then telling a patient it will take another 3 days to review the results is unacceptable.

sci-hub's legitimacy.

Should sci-hub take arXiv under its wing? A great way to gain legitimacy.

> Distilling means fine-tuning an existing model using outputs from the bigger model.

Crucially, the output of the teacher model includes token probabilities so that the fine-tuning is trying to learn the entire output distribution.

> If the voltage was higher (i believe 'low volt' classification tops out at 48v)

Yep, 48V through sensitive parts of the body could be unpleasant but 24V is almost as safe as 12V. Why didn't they use 24V and 25A to achieve required 600W of power instead of 12V and 50A?

> Why "BalancedI8"? Because now that we've removed this most negative number (to provide a niche) the remaining value is symmetrical, it goes from -127 to +127

Actually instead of just removing the most negative number i8::MIN you can appropriate its bit patter to denote "missing value" (or "null" if you wish) so that your new data type is symmetric and nicely "nullable".
