Interesting, according to this In Canada’s Atlantic provinces, fisheries for lobster and snow crab are booming; in 2022, lobster prices reached record highs, and fisheries managers increased the quota for snow crab in some places by 32 percent.

But a couple months ago there was this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33207372

Alaska snow crab season canceled after disappearance of an estimated 1B crabs.

Quite a big difference between the 2 oceans for crabs.
Honestly? I hope not. If a true visionary were to direct it, Stanley Kubrick or Ridley Scott in their prime, or Denis Villeneuve, who seems to be able to do impossible things — maybe. Otherwise I’d expect it to be as dull and forgettable as most movies made from PKD sources — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adaptations_of_works_b...

I saw William Gibson read at Powell’s years ago, maybe around the Virtual Light era. Someone asked him about Johnny Mnemonic, about why Molly Millions wasn’t in it. He said something like, “I thought they were going to fuck up the movie, and if I’d let them write Molly into it then the studio would own her and I’d never be able to have her in a better movie.”

So I’d hope that Gibson is involved in this, and has higher expectations or involvement than before.
I think this problem is almost entirely self-inflicted (by either a person or an organization, sorry to people in organizations that do this and who recognize the insanity and are powerless to stop it).

BigQuery and Colab are fantastic tools largely because they allow less technical folks to try things out with very little friction and BigQuery scales to ridiculous amounts of data making formerly impossible queries possible. The example fits neither of these as the author is quite apparently very technical and the data is minuscule.

The author could have applied some economics thinking to this and correctly concluded that they could have run this exploration on a laptop using a regular old file and Jupyter (or just normal Python if they want to avoid the IPython infrastructure). Post-exploration they can run their application on a properly specced VM. IDK if BERT requires a GPU these days or if it can run well enough on a CPU, but either way, these resources are easily available on GCP without all the vendor-ops the author talks about.

To cap things off, the author says at the end that "in no previous universe would I be able to try out Stable Diffusion". Stable Diffusion requires 6 GB of GPU RAM and ~10 GB of storage. That was modest 5 years ago for commodity hardware.

I am not a cloud-decrier by any means, I love the cloud, I use it every day, but most of what I use is basic storage (buckets) and VMs. With just a little bit of abstraction it's easy to make something that runs in the cloud run locally just as easily. That also makes it easier to switch clouds if you find a better deal somewhere else.

Just like the problems with pay transparency / publishing in job listings, what good is the publishing of hospital costs, if they inflate the rack rate prices to handle people who walk in without insurance, but discount everyone else to the Medicare rates? It doesn't give you any real comparable reference point between hospitals, does it?

As an example, you get a bill for $100k for a one-night hospital visit for an emergency, but it gets knocked down to $15,000 at Medicare reimbursement rates, and then you only pay $1,000. Which price should be shown? It is any use to show the $100k figure?

Or am I missing something that has changed? I mean, I'm all for these efforts but if there is no consistency / meaning behind the numbers being used, it's no good.
I suspect many interviewers reward using a question as an opportunity to
showcase knowledge though, even if it means rewarding that kind of expansive
verbosity. I suspect the this and also that you allude to is the candidate
not wanting to be called out for failing to mention a corner case or
tradeoff.
Of course, conversations are rarely
legalistically constrained to answering only the precise letter of a question
asked; it's a matter of degree.

Forgive a painful mixing of metaphors: if the Workplace StackExchange is
anything to go by, one interviewer's flying colours are often another
interviewer's red flags.
> Obviously it’s not legally binding

Obvious to you, but not quite factually correct. This is, of course, not an attempt to form a contract or NDA (which would be ridiculous) but instead, an attempt to put a certain kind of recipient in notice.

Lawyers operate under ethical rules which differ slightly state-to-state but are largely based on the ABA model rules of professional conduct. Check out Rule 4.4:

“A lawyer who receives a document… and knows or reasonably should know that the document… was inadvertently sent shall promptly notify the sender.”

The standard footer is part of making sure the recipient “reasonably should know” that a document not intended for him is not intended for him.

Now, obviously, this warning is not binding on you in any significant way, but it likely has some effect on your lawyer, assuming he is licensed in a state that puts such a responsibility on him.

Your conclusion about the legal effect of the brick thrown through a window is probably correct, however.
It's not fraud. If you are performing to expectation, no one is being defrauded.

I ve watched porn almost daily (way more on average) and had erectile dysfunction like 10 times MAX in total in 31 years for reasons id say were 100% unrelated (work mostly). Im no weeb, id say im an average "engineer player" with 50+ women off bars and tinder, sometimes even super tired or high+...

Last time checked my T levels, well i was not really able to compare them b.c. im in europe and units made my head explode, but it actually seemed in the low end.

I think erection and sexual desire are 100% psychological, and even more precisely, super contextual of whats on your mind right now. At some point i did a bit of meditation and found that with a girl, focusing on emptying my brain and just smelling her and focusing on that made me horny 100% of the time.

Also id recommend reading "Sex god méthod" (even though i disagree with the overall life vision of the author) and "conversations impudiques" for the french people (a free thinking book where a guy tells his path of discovering sexual stuff which include erectionless orgasms, mutiple layerd orgasms for girls and is basically a super nice and enlightning conversation about sex.)
Correct, Apple requires you to use one of it's artisanal price points, hand-selected from a only the most psychologically supple increments.

Oh I think open-source developers care about design these days, but they're focused on getting the core functionality to work and there's only that many hours in a day. I think designers are not joining open-source projects because it requires learning some other skills that might not be interesting to them, like some basic Git, build systems and a handful of unix commands. There are several sites that have designers making mock-ups and uploading showcases of their work. If there would be a way to link those two communities together, some interesting cross-pollination might happen naturally where developers can get some fresh ideas and designers don't have to produce visual designs floating in a void.
It's a bit shocking how little money it is.
While you can't fix the component in the IC, you can replace the IC - and often we're not even dealing with BGA components - Just surface mount or even through-hole. Poking around YouTube reveals a number of folks who have done it.

Why do you say that? For me, to say they were treated poorly means that they were subjected to unnecessary harm or suffering. Animals can still be harmed as long as it is necessary and appropriate care is taken to minimize the harm.

The quote simply demonstrated that the animal was harmed. It says nothing about the necessity of that harm or care that was taken to minimize it.

Nearly all Labs go to great lengths to minimize harm and ensure the animals are comfortable.

This is what I've been told. The idea being that the questions are more like prompts, and you should go ahead and elaborate to show your knowledge? Of course sometimes a questions really is just a question.
The main problem with the police union (in the US) is that they have been able to repeatedly stop officers who have done horrible things from being fired or even truly punished (paid leave is not punishment).
I strongly agree with you. Dune is weird, insular, looped back on itself, and has had thousands of years to do so. They've switched from one "sin" (making a machine in the likeness of the human mind) to another (thou shalt not deform the soul, by the creation of ultraspecialized humans such as Mentats). It's a nasty, paranoid place (the voice-overs helped with that), wherein you constantly had to think about how others would think, and on.

The Weirding Way is essentially something that cannot be filmed (you would have to invent a martial art that looked unique, spectacular on screen, and was somehow wildly effective), and so it became the Weirding Modules, and that worked, too. Herbert like the "third stage" Guild Navigator idea so much he incorporated it into his later works.

This later effort left me cold.

Less than they used to be. It feels like the Chilton manuals have dried up for late model vehicles.
VAT, everyone forgets about it.

I had a similar conversation with someone on Twitter complaining that the latest iPhone was much more expensive in EU, but once you factored in VAT and some import costs and the fact that apple.com shows the $ price without any sales tax there wasn't actually such a great disparity.
>but lead to "ugly" prices in other regions

Isn't this change an introduction of those ugly prices? If I'm reading the new rules correctly, Apple now supports prices like 7.39 or 37.40. I guess they don't end in a 1-4 or 6-8, but they aren't the cleanest numbers either. And if that last digit is really the problem, rounding to the nearest 5 is always a possibility.
Not quite the point. The rest of the book's text has that same fever-dream inventiveness, and you can't just have the book narrated to an audience. All of the book's style is lost or altered in the new medium.

I’ve been using it to teach me programming languages. If it plateaus here I’m delighted by its uniqueness and utility.

You seem to think people are hinting this is general ai. I don’t think that’s what’s amazing people.

I’ll bet you Siri and Alexa would be 100x more useful with a language model like this behind it. Part of their uselessness is the inability to generalize or reason, but relying instead in coded prompt and replies. Is that lost on the Alexa team (or what’s left)? I’m sure not. So, hey, I guess Alexa won’t plateau yet either eh?

There will come a time that it’s harder and harder to distinguish what’s AI and what isn’t. At a certain point, will it matter? Is the utility of these tools their ability to manifest human sentience? I don’t know why that’s useful to me - I already did that creating my daughter. What I want is a tool that enhances and extends and supplements my own mind and abilities to make me more effective in what I do.

And ChatGPT actually already does that. I can ask it questions about programming problems I’m having and it’ll largely give me a right answer - at least as often as a person would, and more reliably than I get on stack overflow. I’ll still use stack overflow, but I’ll filter my questions through assistants like this.
A (long) time ago, I noticed something not dissimilar in my behavior. I've never noticed it in others, so it quite likely that your behavior goes unnoticed too.

But what I did was tell myself to not react like that again next time. Of course, that didn't work, but it made me notice it better. And after repeating that for some time, I had timely control over the reaction (not over the stimulus that provoked it). If your tic is light and annoys you, you could try that. Your subconscious is capable of picking up more than you think, and it is (somewhat) malleable.
My oldest daughter's first real programming project in school was a Mondrian style art generator. I was so proud of her that I wrapped it up as a CGI and put it on the kids web site. Too bad her excitement for her project was exactly 0% my excitement.
I double-checked this manually. It seems the domain itself isn't responding, but in the database it's marked as "marketed", which means the owner has it for sale. At least that's my understanding of it right now.

I think this is a bit different from a tic though that's an unqualified opinion.

FINALLY. I've been trying to Google this phenomenon for the last couple of years since I noticed it. I wasn't sure if it had something to do with supply chain stuff or just what, but now that I think about it, the "dull shiny" aesthetic is all the rage in lots of consumer goods.

high-social status people have often been put off by quantitative reasoning because you spend years learning to do it, spend time gathering facts, thinking hard about things and often end up with tentative statements. High-social status people can skip all of that and get deference anyway the same way ChatGPT does.
I wasn't aware this was a trend; I thought it was just practical. a gray coffee machine may not make for a striking kitchen centerpiece, but it doesn't clash with anything either. if you're KitchenAid, by all means, go and make 12 different colors for a stand mixer. but if you only want to make one color, it might as well be gray.

I always get my cars in gray for a similar reason. I like cars, but I don't want mine to stand out on the road. don't need the extra attention from cops, thieves, etc. plus, a gray car in the right shade looks clean for a long time between washes.
>What really irritated me is that the person has no idea about what they're talking about.

Absolutely... I'm also surprised no one seems to be commenting about how he's just kind of wrong in the technical explanation.

He says "flake" is "the tiny metallic flecks that car manufacturers have been mixing into paint for decades" and that new cars have less "flake". But that's kind of wrong... the type of cars he's complaining about generally have mica/pearl flecks, which are ceramic/silicate, not metallic. Mica/pearl paints are a little less flashy to the eye than metallics, and manufacturers have dialled down the amount of mica just a little in addition to that.
Interesting! So what is your take on ‘only stereo cameras’ and what do you think of volvos new lidar? In terms of car assistance systems.
> interesting colors actually commanded a premium over silver or black cars

Because someone paid more for that in the first place.

Every dealer is going to have a white, black, and silver/grey at 'stock' cost. After that the price goes up.

People by a car in a color because they like that color and are willing to pay more for it. People buy a car in a neutral because they want a car and don't care about the color.

There are quite a few safety checks you may be hitting when using chatgpt that are there to try and keep context of what it is (so it'll remind you it can't access the outside world). You can often get around them, but for example there's the work showing you can teach it to render svgs as valid markdown then ask for shapes and colours and get the output. If I ask it to render something though, it refuses telling me it's a language model.

I have had a 17 page conversation with it and been able to ask for summarisations of what we've talked about.

>And to prevent cave dwelling

There's... there's something already implemented to prevent cave dwelling. Some things, actually. Just keep living in the cave, you'll meet them eventually.
Even if this ends up in a plateau, that doesn't discount the fact that it's a huge step forward from what we were capable of building 5 years ago. If the next generation of language models make us believe they're superintelligent but are actually at the level of an average college student, that would still be an amazing achievement.
That wasn't Hofstadter's point. Hofstadter didn't try to "disprove" the possibility of having AI -- he only set out to show that certain approaches couldn't work. GPT's approach isn't one of those he argued against. You seem to be referring instead to Penrose and Lucas, but their arguments have convinced virtually no one.
Linear looks good but it's SaaS only. It doesn't feel like a good idea to pump a lot of a company's crucial data into an external system without a way to get it out and continue elsewhere (which is a problem with a lot of bug tracking and project planning software).
I think we are seeing a 2 pronged change in the automotive space and I think Apple can contribute to both.

1. Consumer-owned Electric Cars with advanced AI safety and lane-keeping assist (Traditional Automakers)

2. Corporation-owned Fully Autonomous Vehicles as a service. (Waymo, Cruise etc)

The former Apple is already having its presence known with CarPlay and will continue to expand with its 'next generation' previewed at WWDC that can take over all screens in a car. I feel as though by 2026 when electric cars will be even more mainstream the Apple version of a Tesla will be less differentiated and not high margin enough.

The latter is a more ambitious and disruptive long term goal. It's harder to do right, but has a much greater upside. The Apple Car may actually be the Apple Car Service with custom autonomous driving hardware and software developed by Apple. The service would be highly integrated into Apple's exiting ecosystem and would bring with it the luxury and trust that people associate with the brand

I will concede that I am amazed by this. Even more generally, I'm even more amazed by Markov chains: an even simpler technique that can generate crazy dividends as well.
This is about the same argument we can do about Google Translate or text to speech.

Any professional translator can take a web page and give me a better translation than GT. However I get the GT translation in a few seconds and not in maybe hours, after I signed a contract with the translator.

And text to speech would allow me to post an audio version of this reply in a good English accent instead of my inconsistent foreign one. Or paying a professional speaker, after signing a contract.

Inventing a language is maybe useless but using ChatGPT as a tool to increase our speed is definitely useful.
