Critically, they will also enable faster future migration to a framework in case it proves useful.

On my tasks (mostly data science), Opus has significantly lower probability of making stupid mistakes than Sonnet.

I'd still appreciate more intelligence than Opus 4.5 so I'm looking forward to trying 4.6.

To your second point - why would you need this? There are _plenty_ of previously found CVEs to train on.

Also, I don't think the three letter agencies would share one of the most prized assets they have...

I should have put it differently. I'm afraid that maximum what will be realistically done will be similar to the situation after the Biden got elected. And that didn't help.

Didn't the same happen after Biden was elected? And see, it achieved nothing, regrettably...

As a European, I was shocked by how slow trains are in the US.

It definitely doesn't encourage people to use them instead of flying.

Well, I think that this is also answer to your question about the intuition.

If the assymetry of K and Q stems from the direction of the softmax application, it must also be the reason for the names of the matrices :)

And if you think about it, it makes sense that for each Key, weights to all of the Queries sum to 1 and not vice versa.

So this is my only intuition for the K and Q names.

(It may or may not be similar to the whole "db lookup thing"... I just don't use that one.)

IIRC isn't the symmetry between Q and K also broken by the direction of the softmax? I mean, row vs column-wise application yields different interpretation.

For frequently used things, like cruise control, just a few months needed.

Does it also have motion sensors to turn on the interior lamp? That's what I've found the most frustrating on some of their models.

You want to turn on the lamp? Try some waving gestures...

Also, I don't know whether this is a feature, a bug, or just a lack of skill on my side but I couldn't get the lamp to turn on with the engine turned off. VERY impractical.

Interesting that the release comes a day after Google's new models [1]. Seems a bit like strategical timing :) Maybe they waited until some of the competitors release something so that they can upstage his release with theirs?

[1] Which, btw, I think deserve better sentiment. On benchmarks, the new Gemini Pro seems to be better than GPT-4o. It's just not so hyped...

I think the sentiment here is not fully objective, there are nice improvements in benchmarks (and even more so when accounting for the price): https://imgur.com/a/K3tVPEw

Also, this model shouldn't be compared to the CoT o1, I think. That is something different (also in price and speed).

> What's important is consistently moving. That means getting up from the desk every hour for a 5 minute walk or some stretching. Switching between standing and sitting at a desk is a first step in the right direction but really we need to be moving.

Yeah, that's it. At least when it comes to overall health (I'm not sure about back issues).

I did a little bit of research on this theme myself and it seems that the key is to interrupt periods of prolonged sitting with any movement (even walking helps) for any period of time (even 1 minute helps). The more intensive/longer the better, obviously.

See also notes from my web-research at http://mnicky.wikidot.com/healthy-programmer (it's based on the book that got me started on this topic, but e.g. in Section 3 there's some additional reading about benefits of making pauses when sitting for a longer time and similar research).

Btw, using standing desk for prolonged time can be harmful as well, the truth is even more than sitting :) So yes, combine standing and sitting, but stand only for a shorter time (after 30min it starts to have negative effects).

At my team, we recently established a rule that during Friday you can work on anything work-related you want (e.g. it doesn't have to be something from the actual sprint etc). Similar to the old Google "20% for your projects" kind of a thing.

I expected that lots of useful or interesting things will be made during that time, which is true. But for me, the most beneficial effect is that my enjoyment of my work (which previously wasn't bad - I really liked my work) increased a lot.

So this can be another way how to boost your job enjoyment.

For me they have nothing (success! :)

I use Firefox + FB container + uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger and recently started to use CanvasBlocker as well. I have Firefox configured to delete all cookies on closing (except for few sites to avoid the need to enter the 2FA code every time I log in).

I've also set Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection to "Custom mode" with "cross-site and social media trackers" blocked [1] and to use block list "level 2".

I also have the "Do Not Track" option switched on.

I don't have a proper smartphone (never owned one), just KaiOS-powered dumb-phone on which I use Facebook mobile (i.e. their web site) all the time.

Also no Pi-Hole or similar stuff.

I use a throwaway email account for Facebook.

[1] Just now I've found out that there seems to be a new option, to disable "all cookies from unvisited sites", which I'm going to try as it looks even better.

Another one:

> Police officers and Clearview’s investors predict that its app will eventually be available to the public. Mr. Ton-That said he was reluctant. “There’s always going to be a community of bad people who will misuse it,” he said.

(...)

> Asked about the implications of bringing such a power into the world, Mr. Ton-That seemed taken aback. “I have to think about that,” he said. “Our belief is that this is the best use of the technology.”

And then read this:

> Because the police upload photos of people they’re trying to identify, Clearview possesses a growing database of individuals who have attracted attention from law enforcement. The company also has the ability to manipulate the results that the police see. After the company realized I was asking officers to run my photo through the app, my face was flagged by Clearview’s systems and for a while showed no matches. When asked about this, Mr. Ton-That laughed and called it a “software bug.”

Wow. Just wow.

Not a long time ago I've found this comment about how to read Code Complete: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R65Q50S27SSWE - After reading the comment, maybe I'll consider to give the book another try with a different approach :)

Another "Patterns" book that seems to be interesting is "Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture For Dummies" by Robert Hanmer. I've actually ordered it and look forward to read it in the coming year.

There's also "Patterns for Fault Tolerant Software" by the same author that looks pretty interesting too.

As to the tab management, older version of Opera had tab stacking, which I've found pretty good for tab management. You could stack tabs into themselves to create a cluster of tabs that could then be rolled, so that just one of the tabs was visible, and later unrolled for using those tabs. I think Vivaldi copied the feature as well.

Back then I had regularly around 150 open tabs in my old Opera on a notebook with 4GB RAM without any problem. But those were the times without big js-heavy webapps/sites like these days...

Speaking of AI, there's pretty interesting project which aims at creating 0AD bot that uses hierarchical planning, not just some random heuristics: https://github.com/agentx-cgn/Hannibal

Seems like Brian :) https://github.com/OpenLiveWriter/OpenLiveWriter/commit/1236...

It seems that both Heartbleed and this MITM vulnerability were introduced by Robin Seggelmann [1], which will surely drive a lot of speculations...

This is exactly why I started to use basic html version of Gmail on my desktop computer. It provides almost anything I need (well, that is to write emails and reply to them), it's fast and responsive (no, not that responsive, just that it actually responds to my mouse events ;).

From time to time when I need someting more than basic email stuff, I use the standard javascript interface...

Try it for yourself: http://mail.google.com?ui=html :)

Just use quotes then. Actually, it seems that $_POST is a little bit more common ;)

Who knows? But the problem of licenses is inherently practical, so no theoretical cases apply :)

if the line "Don't be evil, but create what is good and fair." implies that the code should not be used for creating malicious things, than this is not a free license. See also problems with JSON license: http://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article46/json-license

I'd add:

* Learn Factor instead of Forth - it's similar, but modern :)

* Try logic and declarative paradigms (Prolog, Mozart...)
