I am curious actually! In general about your experiments, but also about integrating this detection algorithm to wider systems. Did you run any autogpt-like experiments with the AI generated text as a critique? My use case is a bit different (decision-making), so I play with relative plausibility instead of writing style. But I haven't found convincing ways of "converging" quite yet, i.e. benchmarks that don't rely solely on LLMs themselves to give their output.
To clarify, the style experiment I've referenced earlier was just that – an experiment. I did not implement those methods into my software. Instead, I focused on how to eliminate things like 'talking with authority without evidence', 'contradictions', 'talking in extremely abstract concepts', 'conclusions without insights', etc.
If you need a dataset to benchmark against, download any articles from pre 2017. There are a few ready-made datasets floating around the Internet.
He mentions it in the video. They couldn't rely on Elm, which was too young at the time, for their migration away from Flash. The scale of creating a language was too big for Prezi's immediate needs back then
I went to a JS conference at the time and the CTO of Prezi was talking to me about compiling Haskell to JS; he really wanted Haskell. I told him the performance won’t be good. He wasn’t happy with that answer, but I saw in the end that they went with Elm.
No, life goes on and it's not a calamity. It's pretty bad, but we'll have another crisis if tourism goes down because of the bad publicity of the earthquake.
For many Moroccans, welcoming tourists is their livelihoods. The best thing you can do to support them is to keep your plans in place.
I'm curious what companies stand to gain the most from this discovery... I understand the promises of LK-99, but where do you think where we'll see it be applied first?
Depends on its price and properties. If it is affordable, I would go with electric motors. Not having to cool them would be hugely beneficial. If it is expensive, then MRI machines and space equipment.
As an Arabic speaker, the verse in the Qur'an means to me that fasting helps you remember Allah.
Islam has no concept of empathy for all beings, or enlightenment really. The assumption is that without the fear of God and Hell, people would sin by default, and religious practices are meant to please God.
Often progressive Muslims mention Sufis but they have been persecuted enough, for holding God-consciousness type beliefs amongst others, to consider them a different thing altogether.
In my use case, I find the lack of features of msgspec more freeing in the long run. Pydantic is good for prototyping, but with msgspec I can build nimble domain specific interfaces with fast serial/deserialisation without having to fight the library. YMMV!
Title slightly misleading... The article makes the point that downtowns are turning from office to social centres and the $453B figure is more of an investment in repurposing offices and rethinking urban spaces for that purpose.
I welcome these changes... Yes we'll need to rethink our urbanism, but if anything this switch feels like a coming back of what our urban centers are supposed to provide us.
Imagine parking spaces becoming local artisans/food stalls, conference rooms becoming event spaces, coworking spaces adapted to people's lifestyle and living patterns (e.g. a suburban cowork with childcare and a dog park).
"gutting downtown" might be true for those who are wary their office real estate investment will not have a positive ROI. But the way I see it, this change in urban patterns is a paradigm shift in wealth distribution patterns and in economic opportunities for leisure services, both locally and globally.
Not sure what you read there but the roughly $500B figure is a real loss in the commercial real-estate sector as leases some off the books. It’s a slow burn.
There’s an additional expense to try to repurpose these building as residential but it’s a massive one that won’t come easily. You can’t just turn modern office buildings into residential building by reworking the interior. Most wouldn’t meet residential codes (like bedrooms needing windows, emergency egress, additional plumbing and waste requirements, parking etc)
Commercial real estate is going to take a massive hit the next 3-4 years and that $435B number is a real estimate in the decline in commercial real-estate value. It comes from this study.
If ever there was an industry that I feel zero sympathy for when I hear about them taking a loss, it's large scale real-estate, especially the ones who own large urban centres and turned them into grey wastelands of offices, parking, and shopping.
"Commercial real estate is going to take a massive hit the next 3-4 years and that $435B number is a real estimate in the decline in commercial real-estate value."
That doesn't really hurt my feelings that much, outside of the 401(k) and IRA holders who will lose a lot of retirement money. Hopefully the plan admins and financial people involved in those plans will start dumping commercial real estate in favor of something with more legs before that 3-4 years is up.
It's easier to turn office buildings into luxury apartments than into affordable ones -- a single 3000 square foot apartment has more layout flexibility, fewer plumbing & parking requirements, fewer emergency exits than five 600 square foot ones, et cetera.
Advocates aren't going to be happy about 3000 square foot luxury apartments rather than affordable ones...
Even as higher income people become more geographically distributed, they'll naturally support locavore options, cultural event spaces, an so on, in smaller town centers.
I do wish there were more resources to help places experiencing rapid influx manage growth more intelligently. Towns shouldn't have to endure a big box store phase before investing in livable forms.
Well said. I work from home, yet I still live in Washington DC. The downtown gradually becoming more fun and livable is a good thing, despite the pain and financial loss that'll happen over the next decade to get there.
Not in the tech field but in the consulting space, both Crisp https://dna.crisp.se and Enspiral https://enspiral.com came up with interesting organisational structures that they've extensively documented.
The fact that enspiral keeps coming up as an example tells me that doing this right is really hard; if it were easy there would be more examples people would mention, no?
edit: I hope it's clear I'm not trying to diminish the efforts, to the contrary!
Here's also an interview with Richard Bartlett on the matter:
I think the difficulty in finding other examples is reflective of the "emergent"/"meta modern"/"systems thinking" space being extremely heady to this day. The people there are good at conceptualizing how to maintain a well running group horizontally, but growing one anew requires a different set of skills and traits. Chiefly knowing what's important right now, whereas the emergent thinkers seem to get lost in the weeds of their thoughts and big words.
That field is also, in my humble experience, in a bind. Very few people outside of the coach/consulting sphere seem to talk about this as fervently as they do. I think mass adoption will require the concepts to be attractive and simple to people who may not be ardent supporters of the cause quite yet.
There's also a whole contingent of people who have built orgs that already do this, they just don't advertise themselves and do their work.
I think the next step is to deeply integrate the concepts of Enspiral and such into organisational design tools. Something like murmur.com but with a super low conceptual barrier to entry, that makes it obvious what the next distributed leadership shift is for a given group. That's what I'm developing, if you're curious contact me :)
Wayland's biggest disadvantage is that I can't use my computer as a heater anymore. With X11, I had that feature everytime I would try connecting a second screen to my HiDPI laptop.
Honestly though I don't get the Wayland hate. It's been stable to use and a joy to configure. X11 survives because of legacy and inertia, and I haven't looked back one second since the ~3 years I made the switch to Wayland/Sway.
> It's been stable to use and a joy to configure. X11 survives because of legacy and inertia, and I haven't looked back one second since the ~3 years I made the switch to Wayland/Sway.
Good for you, but I had the completely opposite experience. X11 just works for me without any serious issues, but the last time I tried Wayland a few months ago (on RDNA2) it was an unstable mess. Play a video with mpv? That's a crash. Firefox and some other applications I don't remember also had weird issues.
And Gnome seemed to be the only desktop that was somewhat usable (except for all the crashes...). KDE still felt quite incomplete and others would not run at all (Hikari just made my screens flicker).
There are a few things that really make me want to switch, but in the end I always end up back with X11.
> Honestly though I don't get the Wayland hate. It's been stable to use and a joy to configure.
That's fair, but you need to understand that the "haters" have the exact reverse position; X11 has been stable to use and a joy to configure, and Wayland remains full of "interesting" pitfalls. (If this is going to be that kind of thread: My personal irritation is that there's no consistent way to set keyboard/mouse layouts that works across compositors, or in many cases at all, because every single compositor does its own thing.)

Firefox doesn't work properly out of the box with Wayland, together with Spotify, Discord, VS Code and tons of other applications. I'm a Blender user too, and this submission is good news, but before that, Blender was in this box too.
I migrated to Wayland just last week but having to add fixes to various applications I use day-to-day (every one I mentioned except VS Code) kind of sucks and is not needed at all with Xorg.
But the performance is so much better and also lower memory usage, that I power through it. But I can understand why people are resisting Wayland, it seems it's very early still as not a lot of what I use supports it fully.
Wayland is starting to be enjoyable for me, but the road leading here has been extremely painful and paved by top-down mistakes that have slowly yielded us a usable protocol.
I like 1:1 trackpad gestures and V-Sync, but was it worth breaking screen recording, GUI libraries, RDP and hundreds of desktop environments? It's hard to say, but the fact that it took us 10 years to get halfway there causes me concern.
I don't hate it, I just have zero reasons to switch and a switch would take significant effort.
I'm using bspwm, there is no bspwm alternative for Wayland I'm aware of. Sway might be the closest but not close enough. River might become an option one day, but is not there yet and would still require effort, and I have no incentive to expend effort on it as long as Xorg keeps working with the applications I need.
But for those reasons, seeing developer time going towards Wayland ports rather than other things is a nuisance. Just a nuisance - people can spend their time as they please -, but a nuisance all the same.
I don't hate it. Sway works mostly fine. except drag&drop between file managers and firefox is broken in several ways, in both directions. And since that's an important workflow for me I'm still on i3.
I'm checking once or twice a year and various other things improve. But D&D has always been broken.
Works fine for me, for at least the last two years. I upload files to drive.google.com in Firefox by dragging them from pcmanfm-qt. Both FF and pcmanfm-qt are running under Wayland, not Xwayland.
