The NYPD has had a system built by Microsoft for 15 years:

> Beginning in 2009, the NYPD, in partnership with Microsoft, built a powerful counterterrorism and policing tool called the Domain Awareness System (DAS). The DAS is a central platform used to aggregate data from internal and external closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV), license plate readers (LPRs), and environmental sensors, as well as 911 calls and other NYPD databases. The DAS uses an interactive dashboard interface to display real-time alerts whenever a 911 call is received or a sensor is triggered. The DAS also in- cludes mapping features that make it possible to survey and track targets. The DAS was originally built to support the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative (LMSI) – a public-private partnership – but has since expanded to cover the entire city, giving NYPD personnel direct access to thousands of cameras owned and operated by private orga- nizations. Until the development of the mobility platform and the mobile DAS system described below, the full capabilities of DAS have only been available to the Counterterrorism Bureau and a few other specially trained officers on desktop computers. As the NYPD upgrades its network, access to all DAS capabilities and resources will be expanded to all NYPD’s commands.

Western companies have largely taken the same approach and exited markets that banned them rather than sell. Whether it's Google, YouTube, X, Instagram, or Facebook, they didn't sell either.

They have not found the cause yet:

> Food specimens were tested for multiple substances, including volatile and nonvolatile organic compounds and enteric pathogens. Neither clinical testing nor food testing identified a causative agent.

Tensorflow has been falling behind since they stopped caring about backward compatibility. PyTorch is the leading framework. Jax is getting some traction at Google and was used to train Gemini.

It's illegal in some US states like California. The California Genetic Information Privacy Act prohibits these companies from disclosing a consumer’s genetic data to any entity that is responsible for administering or making decisions regarding health insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance, disability insurance.

They are comparing with a full DNA sequencing when going through a hospital.

Transformers are in many state-of-art models but they don't solve all machine learning problems. Even within the world of transformers, there are many variations depending on the application: generating embeddings, translation, next-token prediction, recommendations.

Someone may live in an owner-occupied home and not own it--e.g.: adult children living with their parents, cohabitating adults.

> The share of young adults ages 18 to 34 who have formed an independent household has declined since 2010, while the share living with their parents has increased sharply. In 2010, less than one-third (32 percent) of young adults ages 18 to 34 were living with their parent(s), but this share jumped to 35 percent by 2017. The increase was sharpest among 25- to 29-year-olds, rising from 21 percent in 2010 to 26 percent in 2017. The share of 30- to 34-year-olds living with their parent(s) also increased by 4 percentage points across this period.

For context:

VAX (an acronym for Virtual Address eXtension) is a series of computers featuring a 32-bit instruction set architecture (ISA) and virtual memory that was developed and sold by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in the late 20th century.

I've used both the US Tesla plug and CCS2. CCS2 is bulkier and heavier but it makes no difference in the daily life. A standardized connector is also a lot nicer than dealing with adapters.

I can only talk for France. The payment is not standardized. Tesla is plug-and-pay like in the US but others are not. Every charging stations brand has its own app with the same issues as the US, where it may or may not work that day.

The eradication of Occitan and other local languages like Breton was the strongest in mid 1800s to the early 1900s. Students speaking it would be punished.

They are trained from scratch on potentially different datasets. Their architectures are very similar though.

Cheaper and faster inference. Cheaper fine tuning.

They charge for the API, like OpenAI.

Mistral-medium has not been released yet.

Mixtral 8X7B has a 32k-token context window. GPT-3.5 models have a context window of 4k-16k. As for the sliding window attention, the model does not lose all the information about the tokens before the sliding window. Hidden states store information about past tokens.

Showing dominance in AI is also targeted at their entreprise customers who spend millions on Google Cloud services.

> Those studies that link red meat to cancer are all epidemiological and causal relationships can't be drawn from them.

There is an extensive body of studies that show a direct link between amines produced from exposing meat to high temperature in animals. You can disagree on the dosage used in the studies but I wouldn't ignore them completely. Here are a few:

For a recent and similar attack at scale, the authors of the botnet software were from an American security company who sold DDOS mitigation solutions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirai_(malware)).

Vaccines activate the immune system. Inverse vaccine suppress it.

I think the commenter was referring to immunosuppressive therapy.

Lobbying just means advocating for your interests by trying to influence people in power. It's part of democracy.
