I'll never understand why people think this is a valid criticism of an article, rather than pointing out an issue they have with the actual content of the article. There's nothing inherently wrong with a company sharing info about the space they operate in. In fact, it should be encouraged as long as what they share is useful.
The general point is that there is a huge volume of training data generated daily not that Twitter is a great source of it. Though I believe that GPT-3 for example was trained on the Common Crawl dataset which would contain both Twitter and Reddit.

>It's clear that these models have orders of magnitude too much data already.

Seems like a strange claim. The scaling laws are showing that you can still make gains with more data and more parameters.

>It somewhat reminds me of the proposals for larger and larger colliders in the hopes of seeing new physics that is always one collider in the future.

This is literally true though, couldn't find the Higgs without the LHC and most GUT candidates would only start being ruled out at high energy levels.

That's what I had for a calculator in chemistry.
One of the things I felt caused enormous stress when I was in jail was the ceaseless incredible intensity of the noise. The noise was so loud most of the time that with the TV set to 100% volume it still could not be heard from 1 foot away with your hands cupped behind your ears to focus the sound (a common jail technique to watch TV). I always wondered what damage it was doing, beyond the obvious damage to my hearing.

[try setting your TV to 100% volume, put on the news, and sit a foot away and think how loud the surrounding noise has to be for you not to be able to hear the TV at all]
> Some companies cannot operate effectively without atlassian products

Kind of their problem to be frank.

Any contract those companies signed would have a cap on the retributions by Atlassian for trashing SLA targets
Making Mondays something to look forward to! I already can use this library for a new project.
> it won't scale

I think that is sort of the point, if someone were to niche down to actual makers of things. One could make it an exclusive club and spend money to get exclusive items for launch, for example get specially made pieces from well known makers and they can number them if they want, like 1/100 special thing-a-mabob.

Have actual interviews with artisans/makers, slowly ramping up sellers. Take customer complaints seriously. Like if its reported that artisan_maker_27 started shipping cheapo shit from where-ever then they are kicked off the platform.

I think the idea is to do as much as you can without scaling. No AI. No ads on the platform (certainly advertise for it).
Definitely an interesting future problem. I'm sure OpenAI and others are thinking about it but I don't think these models are ubiquitous enough to have much impact just yet.

A curated and authenticated store is a very expensive endeavour. They're complaining about hike in fees now, imagine how many would be able to accept hundreds of dollars in standing fees and cut from sales on top of that.
I feel like there was an indirect experiment here: how quickly defenseless humans can be mauled by a struggling cat in an enclosed space.
Disclosure: long on Rocket Lab

Another recent interview with Peter Beck, as a podcast

https://www.wemartians.com/podcasts/118-planetary-exploratio...

It is clear from Rocket Lab's purchases of space hardware companies that they are well aware of SpaceX's downward pressure on launch prices, and are diversifying and vertically integrating their business, to include satellite design and build, as well as selling satellite components off the shelf like star trackers and (momentum) reaction control wheels.

The statement refers to the fact that discrimination against inter-generational families were a proxy for discrimination against Black, Latino, and, before that, Italian households in the American suburbs. Which is a real thing that did --- and still does --- happen.

And you've skated right past the more important part of my argument, which is that nobody with a BLM sign on their lawn even knows about this "nuclear family" thing. You'd have to go dig it up for them.

I live in the USA, and at least for me, the activity of doing nothing is alive and well. I can sit in our living room, outside, or under a tree on a trail behind our house for quite a while before I start to get bored.

Sometimes I waste time on the web and sometimes doing nothing.

re: the article: as someone else here said, I did wonder if some people in non-industrial societies are just resting.
Go has Undefined Behaviour for data races under concurrency. So, while the unsafe package is one obvious way to do dangerous stuff and experience "memory corruption hazards" the rest of the language isn't actually safe.

C# is subject to the whims of the host CLR for both type safety and memory model, and as a result is inherently unsafe on CLRs that actually exist (primarily, Microsoft's) because dangerous was much faster.

They're both dramatically better than C++ and so give us an opportunity to assess Herb's claim that if C++ was 90% safer nobody would bother him about how ludicrously dangerous it is. It does seem like people are comfortable in C# and Go as a result. But, once in a while something very strange happens and it gives these developers no comfort to learn that the Undefined Behaviour was foreseen and they get a WONTFIX back from the language's implementers (e.g. C# can't conceive of how two booleans can both be true yet not equal, however the CLR does not guarantee what C# wants here so C# loses).

So that's what Rust is for. Mostly though, Rust is just very nice to use. I don't actually need Aria's Tower of Weakenings, most of the time I don't need even need unsafe, but I'd still rather be in Rust.
> Blue Origin, which I personally consider to be a vanity project

I could see an argument for that given the time/resources invested compared to the results but ULA's future and a large fraction of Project Kupier's planned launches are tied to the success of the BE-4 so they do have immediate ambitions beyond suborbital tourist hops.
This is going to depend on the health of the organization you're in. If you're in a healthy environment, giving mercenary advice is probably not the best move - literally, less likely to advance your career.

If you're in a hypercompetitive and/or toxic environment, you'd better be very careful about what advice you give (and everything else you say).
Thomann and the like killed my local music instrument stores. I don’t think Thomann will go away, but it depresses me that it is nearly impossible to find an instrument I want to purchase to test without travelling 5 hours. And I live in a capital city.
Part of the draw of deno is that for better or worse it's javascript. If you start changing things about the language used in the deno runtime such that it's no longer compliant ecmascript, then you no longer get the benefits of it being ecmascript. The devs' mental modal of the language isn't a drop-in, libraries and modules including popular ones, are no longer guaranteed to work out of the box, etc.

You might say that all that is worth the benefit, but in that case why not just use another language that already gives you the feature you want or why stop there? Why not also fix other issues with javascript at the same time since we're no longer preserving compatibility? Something mental like the automatic type coercions? Or getting rid of var?
Yes, those standards that produced a safety regime of 20 years of flights without software being even implicated in a single fatality. Literally trillions if not quadrillions of passenger-miles per software-related fatality. Those same standards which result in a system like the 737 MAX rightfully being excoriated for only being 10% safer than driving and resulted in successful demands for grounding of the entire fleet.

As you note, unfortunately the standards as employed in practice have recently regressed dramatically to allow a system as unsafe as the 737 MAX to fly. So it seems only prudent to go back to the historical, far more rigorous, process which did result in the amazing historical safety regime. And, since self driving cars are a even harder and more dangerous technology with far more downside risk, they should use a standard even more rigorous than the historical airplane standards which are still by far better, from a safety perspective, than any other consistently applied software process, such as cars, by multiple orders of magnitude.
Would also like to know, seems like a perfect use case for the Flyweight design pattern - just get the total count of records for when needed (e.g. size of scrollbar) and show the stuff that should be on screen at any given moment, loading more in dynamically. Throw in allowing doing operations on ranges that are off screen and you should be good.

> It is unlikely that freezing all intrinsic prototypes and objects is even enough. People will find ways to exfiltrate tokens.

This is probably true, but frozen intrinsics would make it a _lot_ harder. Right now it's not reasonable to ask a library to be defensive against capability exfiltration, since it means not using any built-ins, but I think with frozen intrinsics it would be reasonable to treat a library leaking its capabilities as a security bug. There would still absolutely be leaks - most significantly in libraries which export classes and don't freeze the class prototype - but things would no longer be completely insecure by default. It would make malicious code have to work a _lot_ harder.

I think it's worth a shot. Deno removed the __proto__ getter/setter, and that did require a bunch of libraries to update, but it worked out OK.

Node already has --frozen-intrinsics, if anyone feels like experimenting with whether that would break your code.
That's a strange take, since I personally see space tech as a useful endeavour, versus ... ad-tech, building yet another chat app, social network apps, another financial service, another way to sell eyeballs, another way to scam people with NFTs.
I've often thought this should apply to motorcycles too. Motorcycle helmets would have speakers installed inside, wirelessly connected to the bike so that it produces realistic motorcycle sound effects when you operate the throttle.

This way, motorcycle enthusiasts could have all of their "loud pipe" thrills while riding a clean, silent electric motorcycle and not disturbing their neighbors!

For even more realism, vibrators could be installed in the seat to mimic a combustion engine's "vroom".
You're right. That's why they know the value they bring and are increasing fees - which is reasonable.
Google TV has the best content discovery I've come across so far. Recommendations across most streaming services based on overall similar movies, different slices of the genre, and movies with similar directors/cast members. Plus as soon as you select another movie, you can see all the same "similar" recommendations for that movie.
> Publicly traded companies have a fiduciary duty to their share holders to make as much money as possible.

I feel like this is in semi-myth territory. Yes, there have been cases where shareholders have sued company leadership because they weren't making them as much money as they could. But it's not quite as clear-cut and well-tested in the courts as you make it sound.
> That establishing of a model of another animal's mind in their own mind is likely a key part of intelligence.

Yes -- this is literally "theory of mind", as I understand it.

But the really striking thing is that this sort of stuff you're talking about does not typically count towards theory of mind among scientists.

I mean they would make the counterargument that the cat catching the mouse might simply be learning through reinforcement that relying on their hearing is effectively more successful than relying on both sight and hearing, and that being unable to see the mouse and focussing on the sound leads to better strategies; it's possible the cat does not need to understand that they are invisible to the mouse.

And it is certainly possible for a cat to catch a mouse through long observation of its behaviours without engaging in theory of mind.

But then you watch cats play with each other (or the hilarious videos of cats sneaking up on observers and then freezing) and it's hard to believe they don't understand this.

Except there's always sandbox escapes. OK, those are harder, so sandboxing more is a start, for sure.

There's no panacea here. Dependencies are costly. Open coding is costly. Curating external source and packages is costly. It's all costly. We need to recognize a lot of these costs.

While our tenant was unaffected, i told my management of this issue. They just shrugged and said we could watch and eat popcorn. I was half way expecting them to raise eyebrows

I was kinda like....."not really the point of bringing it up."

Its worth noting we have had them just delete things within our account before. In fact one of our Senior VP's had their account just....disappear one day. We couldn't @ them in chats, tickets etc. Atlassian just shrugged and "restored" the account and said it was some issue with a stored proc on their backend or something.

I have always felt uneasy about how flippant they are in their processes. But it seems that is not shared.

If you are lucky you will land in a place that has empathy and you will work with people whom you can trust, but those places are hard to find and even in the best places there will be ruthless actors.

If you are going to say something on exit it is best to say it to someone who has power who you trust. If you have access to a VP or CEO, for example. HR’s job is to quickly make problems go away and minimize risk to to the company. Them passing along helpful information to impact change is the opposite of making something go away, it creates a complication. No one hires HR people to create complications.
If you set them at the top level, they should carry across the subdomains unless you configure them differently or override them with a subdomain specific record.

You may want to verify that directly though. I haven't looked at the subdomain settings in a couple of years.
Back in the early 90's, I visited Santa Fe as a tourist. I enjoyed browsing the local shops looking at the American Indian art for sale. After a while, I noticed the same things over and over in different shops - most (all?) the stuff was imported from other countries.

A few years ago I also toured souvenir shops in Malmo, Sweden. I asked the proprietor of when where the merchandise came from, she said it all came from China.

With a global economy, that's just the way things are.
That is certainly a possibility. The other (non-mutually exclusive) implications may also be that human language acquisition benefits from being part of a multi-task model. Or that the problem has been overreduced ie: human language acquisition cannot simply be distilled into a words-in->words-out problem and that vision/hearing are actually integral parts of language acquisition that cannot be left out. Or that model arch still has major improvements to be made and attention is not all you need, for example.

It's an order of magnitude difference. Code running at install time is almost 100% guaranteed to run. So a transitive dependency 10 layers down is just as dangerous as any other.

Runtime, however, you need some code path to actually hit some part of that library/import it to be affected.

That may be true, but in the US there are typically math courses before calculus.
PSIO definitely isn't beloved, I'll give you that. I think the main hate of PSIO is because their product always felt like a beta to users who expected something more polished. I'm not going to say either is right or wrong, but it's what it is. PSIO's anti piracy stuff was pretty annoying for the end user vs what other companies are doing like XStation and others can do.

You're right though, that in general the end users are very much entitled assholes in general, and there are still people buying Everdrive clones, even when the real deal was still in stock and available. But Everdrive is still successful for Krikzz, and all of the clones out there are based on a very outdated design that his newer devices are far surpassing in terms of features and support.
In the English that you speak is that set of features non-empty? It’s empty in the English that I speak, given that there is no feature in Lisp that some language or other hasn’t included by now.

Moving intercity traffic to mass transit be it trains or busses seem entirely reasonable. Ofc, this means that those services should be better or as good as private options.

I'm way more worried about ending up hosting miners or other malicious crap, Godbolt himself said users have found all sorts of ways to escape the compiler explorer sandbox over the years. I'd rather serve the compiler as a static blob that runs in the browser.
Yes, I think pg gets off on the wrong foot here---essentially saying that if something's true, it can't be x-ist---and proceeds in a circle. As you point out, many statements made with racist intent are at least partially true. This should also explain to Graham why whether something is x-ist can depend on who's saying it (and therefore what their intent is likely to be), while something that is true is presumably universal to the speaker: x-ism and truth are orthogonal dimensions.

That’s what an ANE/TPU is.

If you mean putting the model weights into gates directly, it’d be useless because users would get bored of the model as soon as they figured out what its style looked like. Also, large models can memorize their training data so eventually you’ll get it to output something copyrighted.
