> They are opposed to any social progress and want to go back.
I see it as exact opposite.
The "left" parties have long abandoned social progress and are now regressing. Support or racism (affirmative action), terrorism, violence against women, violence against Jews, violence and rioting in general, denial of science, against meritocracy, against freedom of speech.
Technically, while going back to meritocracy, equality, freedom of speech is "reactionary", I'd definitely term it progress.
If privacy or security protections are opt-out, Facebook, et al. will try to use any leverage they can to push their users to opt out. There's real value in a platform that doesn't give Facebook, et al. that opportunity. There are also obvious downsides; it's a tradeoff that might not be right for you but definitely isn't one-sided.
Probably not much.
Also the LeRobot reference arm (SO-ARM100) is 6DoF, but it's very hackable and there are already project with different grippers, etc.
This actually works reliably with quite a few companies, especially large ones with low marginal cost services. They will often have a standard script where they will offer anyone calling to cancel a large discount for 3-12 months. People can, and many do, call back at the end of each promo period to say they're cancelling and refresh the discounted rate.
> The National Science Foundation (NSF) has put a cork in its grantmaking pipeline after BILLIONAIRE Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) set up shop at the agency this week.
Really, "billionaire", that's what you're going with (emphasis mine)?! Isn't it more relevant that he founded and runs 2 biggest startups (as in, high velocity, high growth companies) in the world (Tesla & SpaceX) that run circles around both legacy companies and government agencies? So, yeah, if you want things to radically improve fast, of course you call someone like Elon.
It's sad that "unbiased news" basically no longer exists.
It's obvious if you see measures like web pages getting deleted because they contain the word "privilege". You know, as in "privilege escalation". I'm sure the people at NSA who wrote these pages are happy about their work being in vain.
One person blogged about `git master` and many people agreed that it may be needlessly antiquated. So private companies chose to take a few hours to change a dumb default string under no external pressure and certainly not under duress of government action.
The fact you conflate these two demonstrates either a clear lack of earnestness or common sense. Take your pick.
Did you fall for rage-bait articles about items of no consequence written to convince you that you're the victim of some mass woke conspiracy and everything you do is justified as long as you try to burn it down?
Not really, I've been opposing sexism, racism, political correctness, science denial (yes, burn it all down!) and supporting meritocracy and freedom of speech since early 2010s, way before it became big in the media.
Well you are doing a poor job of conveying it if your two biggest pain points are "git master" and "quantum supremacy".
God help us this is the way all of these conversations have gone over the last 8 years.
Group A: "You are gutting our scientific research infrastructure, a entity that has provided tremendous benefit to scientific progress worldwide and has been a source of national pride!"
Group B: "Yea well some tech companies voluntarily changed the name of their git branch from 'master' to 'main' so you all had it coming."
There's nothing I can do with that, except hunker down and hope all the horrors of this are felt by someone else.
I didn't know Tesla ran circles around legacy car companies. Well other than P/E ratio. I was under the impression that they made fewer and worse cars that are currently not very popular.
What would the unbiased version of this report look like? "...after SUPERMAN Elon Musk's...", "...after NATIONAL HERO Elon Musk's..."? In what way would you like journalists to show their deference to this great man?
Billionaire is incredibly relevant. It highlights the inherent conflict of interest in the moneyed class demolishing the state that is meant to protect the rest of us from them.
I'm not sure how it was done legally, but when the Supreme Court ruled that Biden administration's student loan forgiveness was unconstitutional, Biden (or rather, his team) found another way to forgive loans.
I expect Trump's administration to similarly find legal workarounds.
Is it any different, in principle, to what congressmen (and women) have been doing for decades? Insider trading, corruption, etc. has all been normalized.
You’re forgetting that the previous government was losing at least 2 wars (in Ukraine and against Houties) and destroying the United States - trying to jail political opponents, subverting elections, destroying the country’s borders, erasing meritocracy, instituting censorship and ignoring Supreme Court rulings.
Those topics weren't in the scope of the original discussion and I'm not really interested in litigating partisan entertainment propaganda based around taking shreds of truth (at best) and blowing them out of proportion.
The large scale facts are that under the previous administration we had working relationships with our allies, mostly functional executive agencies (aka law enforcement), and the US (ie USD) was seen as a source of stability. Meanwhile the current administration's actions are indistinguishable from a foreign power doing its best to destroy our country - we are now isolated from our allies (and even seen as hostile!), the ideal of rule of law has been replaced by brazenly corrupt rule by law, and we're staring down dedollarization.
> individual tokens are routed to different experts
that was AFAIK (not an expert! lol) the traditional approach
but judging by the chart on LLaMa4 blog post, now they're interleaving MoE models and dense Attention layers; so I guess this means that even a single token could be routed through different experts at every single MoE layer!
I see it as exact opposite.
