There are a bunch of inductive algorithms. x_n+1 = x_n + f(x_n) dt is an integral curve. Doing it discretely is a a piecewise approximation of that curve. The vast majority of neural nets we use today are piecewise linear function approximators.

I see what you mean, but heck, that's not even playing every day - More like every other day on average, and I often burn a few hours on Sundays.

But that 4% stat is interesting - What this tells me is Game Pass is effectively a gym membership where the entire business model depends on 95% of people never using it.

Not at 15 hours a month it's not. I'm a total casual, and even I'd burn through that in under two weeks.

This must be some form of Anchoring. They fully plan to come back in a week or two with 10x the hours, hoping everyone that would have laughed even at that, initially, suddenly decides it's not so bad. If not, this is Microsoft announcing the end of Game Pass.

Meh. I'm going to pile on and say that most homes:

a. aren't going to have multiple higher end devices with fancy gpus or a number of Apple M4 or M5 devices with enough RAM "laying around" doing nothing
and
b. even if they did, they're not going to be willing to have them on 24/7 and sucking up electrons like nobody's business to crank on AI inference jobs. The power usage would dramatically go up along with their monthly electric bill.

I could potentially see this working at a smaller business if their fleet of devices was up to the task. Game development shop?

Seems like a real reach and a "solution" in search of a problem to solve.

Worse. It's like the HR lady who writes the telephone sanitization SOPs and has no background in microbiology, health or any relevant field. They're making it up as they go along.

to the point where the model reasons entirely or almost entirely in latent space

Early models did all their work in latent space. Then someone figured out that you could run them repeatedly so they could do things step-wise and called that "chain of thought." Then someone else (re)discovered that you could reuse some of your layers and get better results for more computation but the same amount of parameters and memory, which is what "recurrent depth" seems to be. That's just like adding more layers, which nobody cares about, but someone gave it a fancy name so now its the end of the world.

It's called a carbon tax. Maybe you've heard of it? Maybe you've voted against it? Lots of people have.

I grew up in a rural community. The farmers all think global warming is a liberal conspiracy. But they're also happy to tell you how it just doesn't get cold in the winter like it used to, they're constantly worried because the spring melt isn't ever as much water as it was twenty years ago, and the weather has just been crazy unpredictable the last decade or so.

We aren't going to stop flying, we aren't going to setup a factories in every country to reduce global shipping, we're not going to stop eating meat and we're not going to all magically transition to an EV that's backed by 100% clean energy.

We will if it gets hot enough. Almost no one flew a hundred years ago because they didn't have enough money. If there are food shortages, water wars and mass migrations from coastal cities and the tropics most people will again be too poor to fly, meat will be a luxury and goods shipped around the world will be exotic luxuries, just like they were a century ago.

Is poker "gambling", when skill matters more than the luck of the draw? The worst hand at the table can still win.

For that matter, is the stock market as a whole gambling? And I don't mean that in the typical whiny "waaah, I suck at picking stocks, this is gambling" we often hear; rather, the winners are simply making better use of the available information than the losers.

Relating that back to Spagnuolo - Did he place the bet after all the numbers were compiled and not yet released, or did he make what amounts to good guess based on largely public information he just happened to have a better way to access than you or I? The former would potentially be insider trading (if not for the jurisdiction argument, which is pretty damned solid); the latter just means the losers need to git gud at finding that information.

"Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, it’s an initiation... What age should you start to see public executions?"
"We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately."
"You quote Leviticus 19, love your neighbor as yourself. The chapter before affirms God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters... in Leviticus 18, is that thou shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death."
Stoning gay people to death is "God's perfect law"
Trans people are to blame for inflation: "There's a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue. You say, Charlie, come on. They couldn't be further apart. No, they're exactly the same. They're the same in this aspect—when you believe that men can become women, why wouldn't you also believe that you could print wealth? If you believe that someone can change their gender, why wouldn't you also believe that money is wealth?"
Blacks "were actually better in the 1940s. It was bad. It was evil. But what happened? Something changed. They committed less crimes." (yes, despite the Piers Morgan "fact check", while his reasons for believing black people were better off under segregation was unrelated to segregation itself, he very much did repeatedly argue that black people were better off in the 1940s)
"If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’"
Juneteenth: "It is a neo-segregationist federal holiday, is what it is... The entire point of it, as per postmodernists do and deconstructionists, is to subvert July 4."
We should have "just took care of" trans people "the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and '60s"
"The Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it’s only gonna get worse.. There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama, and they will become your masters."
"Haiti is legitimately infested with demonic voodoo. I’ve talked to missionaries that have gone there and they say they’ve seen the darkest stuff... people levitating and turning into cats at night."
"Jewish donors have a lot of explaining to do.. Because Jewish donors have been the No. 1 funding mechanism of radical, open border neoliberal quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast created by secular Jews. And now it’s coming for Jews.. It’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it."
Calling Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown "affirmative action picks".
Calling the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer an "amazing patriot" and called on people to bail out the attacker.
"Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge. "
"Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more."
"MLK was awful. He’s not a good person... We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s."
"Transgenderism and gender 'fluidity' are lies that hurt people and abuse kids." Transgender identity is a "throbbing middle finger to God."
Gun violence as a "cost" to having no gun control: "I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."
"The 'Great Replacement' is not a theory, it's a reality."
"The great replacement strategy, which is well underway every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different."
"Islam is not compatible with Western civilization."
"Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America."

On and on. Man, such a moderate centrist who never espoused bigotry or promoted violence!

The one being incorrect is you. Archie's representation is quite accurate, in the US context.

Yes, a very "middle of the road" supporter of far-right Tommy Robinson (who has a 17% positivity ranking among Brits). The guy who said "When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." The guy who described diversity as an "ideological inferno", a "religion" led by "high priests". The guy who was so radical and repressive at Basecamp that at one point 1/3rd of its employees all walked out en masse. Truly, a remarkable centrist of our times!

This sounds an awful lot like the rhetoric that was spread about Jews before WW2, and which was used as the justification for the Final Solution.

To add some context, this false claim about London no longer being full of "native Brits" is... Well, if you add up all the people who identified as British at the 2021 census, it's 71.1%. It's just that only about 39% of them are white. There are lot of Black and Asian (which in English means from India, Pakistan, and countries in that region, not East Asian countries like China) British citizens there too. Lots of mixed race, because non-racist white Brits form relationships with non-white Brits.

That's why the far right in the UK has pivoted to talking about "native Brits". When you ask them exactly what that means, they tell you it's white with a long lineage of white ancestors in the UK. That would exclude our king, and one of our most famous Prime Ministers, Winston Churchill, as well as many other notable British people. They rely on people not thinking that hard about it.

So TL:DR it's a racist dog whistle.

They mean it's like a shitty Tesla with only one central screen that has the IC on it. If you want one in front of the driver where you don't have to glance to the side to see basic information like your speed, you have to pay extra.

Not that I was planning to, but that's Hyundai off my list of potential vehicles.
