Waiters are already automated? Clerks? I wrote that with particular people I know in mind- they aren't paid less because their jobs have been automated. Are there solutions which don't involve more automation? Sure! But not only are those solutions compatible with automation, they're sort of besides the point I was pushing against.

You said that specifically automation would be bad even if it provided total material abundance. It's not there yet, and I suspect it'll be a while before it is, but if we grant its possibility boredom is just absolutely not enough of a reason to prevent it. There are lots of dangers on the road there, but the only cost you mentioned (and I replied to) was that we'd be "playing with cheats". Video games are one thing- in real life losing has a cost and if cheating prevents that there's no excuse not to.
Disallowing mixed scripts in labels is not necessarily workable. Consider that in South Korea it is common to use the English "ing" gerund ending in otherwise Hangul text.

That said, that would be the a very good step towards ameliorating the confusables issue in IDNs.

Are you saying that aneuryms are not a potential adverse event associated with MRNA Covid vaccination [1]?

Furthermore, we know hypertension is also associated with dissections, and there are several documented cases of acute and non-acute hypertension after MRNA covid vaccination [2]

I'm saying that to say there are some possibilities there, but I am also going to say the opposite too.

I don't know that we know enough about the adverse events associated with these vaccinations, and whether or not a vaccine is implicated, or if there was a previous medical condition.

Retrospectively speaking, I don't know that an autopsy would give us any novel answers either, because of the gaps we have around passive medical surveillance vs active medical surveillance.

I disagree greatly with this. There is so much Open Source software that achieves high performance without telemetry, and this assumption that all businesses have to implement it is an insult to me, the customer.

> A lot of founders avoid telemetry because it’s radically honest.

"Radical honesty" is a horseshoe euphemism for "lying to your customers", the way you're phrasing it.

> They’re worried about a dip or negative trend making them or their team look bad to investors.

Seems like a valid concern.

> But trying to hold your business accountable without sophisticated metrics is like an F1 driver trying to win a race by relying on only an odometer for their speed.

No, not really. It's more like an F1 driver saying they can't win their race until they see the speed of every other car at the same time, which is arguably quite redundant and useless if they can already measure their own car.

This is a weak defense of telemetry.

> Making something publicly available, such as it offering up a website, is a pretty dramatic way to increase its exposure. As you might imagine, trying to perform useful work with data coming in over a network provides many more chances to try to exploit something than silently dropping all inbound connections.

Sure; what matters is, roughly, the extent to which the computer is doing something complex based on data sent by an attacker. The thing is that these days people's pocket computers do so much complex work with user-submitted data, compared to low-level protocol parsing which mostly hasn't changed for decades, that I struggle to believe adding the latter would actually increase attack surface that much. Back in the '90s, where the main way to send data from computer A to computer B was for computer A to open a socket connection to computer B, that thinking made sense, but today almost everyone is consuming a firehose of data from random strangers via, well, almost every app on their phone and every website they visit.
As even that top article points out we'd expect the rate of unvaccinated people to approach the base rate which is 76% of the population having received one dose. And since old people are at more risk and are more vaccinated, we'd expect it to reach even higher eventually. But that happens because eventually the unvaccinated do all pick up natural immunity and the effect we're measuring is that the excess load caused by the unvaccinated is declining. We could have gotten to this point much quicker by having 100% vaccination rates (and 100% of the people still being admitted with COVID would then be vaccinated) but with an order of magnitude less load on the hospital system.

The top article you cite has all this information in it, and even mentions the base rate fallacy. It is criticizing the framing of the pandemic as a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" and trying to focus attention on the elderly, but that is orthogonal to the question of if the unvaccinated are disproportionately clogging up the hospital system. Both statistics are true. Everyone should still get vaccinated to reduce the load on the hospital system (although this concern is now fading as antivaxxers actually do pick up immunity the hard way). We should also focus on the elderly more.

As a simple example: if a population begins entirely susceptible and there's a vaccine from day 1 which is available and reduces the risks of hospitalization by 9x and 90% of the people get the vaccine, then the rates of hospitalization will be split 50/50 between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Vaccinating the rest of the population would increase vaccination rates by 10% but would decrease overall hospitalization rates by 44%.
> This year's UI/UX trends have been an absolute disaster. Many brands are now using some kind of an amalgamation of animations + on-scroll effects that transition into this linear 3D experience. Replit is a good example of this, even though what they are doing is quite tame to what I have seen.

Probably because those trends are set by UI designers sitting in ivory towers.

If UI trends were instead set by people who actively used sites over and over for their day job, they would be far more appropriate and effective.
Interesting, we've tested Chrome on android and Safari on iOS devices but I think the issue you're seeing is on Chrome on iOS right?
Big fan of your products :) Have bought a dozen of them personally.

From what I understand, excess solar is more common in markets that have asymmetric import/export prices, like Australia, that strongly incentivize self-consumption vs. exporting back to the grid. CA is likely to implement this with NEM 3.0 so we are likely to start seeing this shift in behavior in the US soon as well. Right now there isn't much of an economic incentive to do excess solar in markets with symmetric NEM compensation (I'm sure you know all of this).

Other problem we have in the US vs. AU is our cost of installation is so high that it makes oversizing systems somewhat cost prohibitive, which is what you'd need to do to get enough excess solar to charge an EV.

Third problem is where cars are parked during the day while the sun is shining, which may be tough for people who commute to work. Energy storage can obviously help here somewhat.
At the same time, everyone in the startup game needs to know that this is a fairly likely outcome. It's just not as safe as being at an institution that can weather the storm.

I tell potential hires explicitly that this can fail, and that there's a runway, and that it's uncertain. I've seen so many places try to sell people that it's just kicking ass all the way to the bank.

So, when a CEO makes this kind of statement, I would refer back to the initial messaging before getting out my coals and rake. Nobody made anyone sign on to a nascent software company. It absolutely sucks to find yourself without income, but you've got to know your risk tolerance. And, by that, I mean you need to know how well you tolerate risk, and you need to know your exposure. If management wasn't forthright, well, that's really shitty.
I doubt if there is a process for steeling yourself to the indifference of others. To my mind, you either have a compulsion, a preexisting urge that allows you to be indifferent to outside influence, or else you seek out a pursuit that people do care about. Coming to appreciate the deeper logic behind a reflexive behavior is an important part of being able to see the impulse through despite the indifference of others.
Yeah, on top of that add wading through legacy code, figuring out why wtf, this is crap, just to figure out most times it is actually crap, but then at least equal amount of times that there was a very good reason to do it that way, either technical or by business logic... cannot imagine how any AI system could have success there without getting towards the true AI singularity.

This kind of code that I'd believe makes up 99% of all code out there that is worked on, is not available to the public for training. What to do about that? Rewrite all?

> Facebook was similar, but you could throw sheep at your friend/girl you liked, and it might be ambiguous.

Throwing sheep is an idiom I'm unfamiliar with and urban dictionary isn't helping (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=throw%20a%20...) what does it mean in this context?

I liked the idea of circles. It solves the problem of having to create multiple accounts (one for work, one for friends, one for parents, etc) that a lot of people were doing on facebook/insta so that they didn't have to self-censor as much. People don't always want to broadcast a night of drugs and drinking to your employer or your Mom but still want to send photos of your wild night out to your friends.
I'm not sure what you are saying.

Donating capitol that has gained value to a non-profit to then use to pay yourself a salary with causes you to pay more taxes than if you had just realized the gains and skipped the non-profit as cap gains taxes are lower than income taxes for the top bracket.

I think you got downvoted for the operator overloading but as long as it's used with intention you're fine. Python itself abuses bitwise or for types, everyone's darling SQLAlchemy overloads all the comparators to make filter expressions. Testing libs also overload comparisons to make matchers.

Author here: fwiw we are running the app on a10g GPUs, which generally can turn around a 512x512 in 3.5s with 50 inference steps.

There are lots of ways it could be sped up further I'm sure!

> As AI's power in the creative fields increase those fields will more and more become a question of who has the most money to throw at AI processing.

I think the relevant question that might allay your fear is: why do people make art?

The industry that produces commercial art is absolutely on the chopping block, because in commercial art it's the result that's important, not the process. Such art is effectively a commodity, and barriers to the effective synthesis thereof have already been in the process of whittling away for centuries. I think you may be over-indexing on this category, but please correct me if I'm mis-assuming.

"True" (for lack of a better word) Art is the expression of self. It's an action or process that's captured in some sensory medium. That doesn't go away.

Imagine an artisan who forges handmade sculptures from horseshoes, which were obtained from the farm that she grew up in, themselves forged by her grandfather and worn by the horses in her mother's stable. There is something of herself , her family, and the loved they shared that's in the sculpture. It isn't the most hedonistically-perfect visual sculpture imaginable, but it brings you joy to see it because there's a narrative behind it.

AI does not make stuff like this go away. It actually frees more people to become these imbue-ers of meaning, if they are so inclined.

AI could describe the sculpture, AI could produce a digital facsimile, and maybe even eventually reforge the metal itself. But it can't imbue it with meaning like a human does. Unless you believe the AI itself is authentically capable of such a thing on equal footing to a human, which I think is still a "victory" for art, albeit a distinct one.
I use it mostly for reverse engineering a model on top of a legacy database when working on projects to clean and migrate that data.

I seen some very legacy database 'designs' and have never failed to model them with a combination of sqlalchemy join mapping, datatype mapping and some object properties in python for cases that are simpler to just express as list comprehensions.

You end up with some data quality rules / Transformation logic you can reasonably share with business users.

On the Load end I normally do that via sql bulk inserts as using an ORM just adds too much overhead and not enough control.
Important to note that these tokens _can_ be words, but oftentimes a word will be comprised of multiple tokens, so 8192 tokens = 8192 words isn't strictly correct.

That said, your point stands. Most short stories are low-to-mid four-digit words, and a jump from 2048 tokens to 8192 squarely fits in that window.

As someone who's been working on multi-layered approaches to using GPT-like models for long text generation (e.g. synopsis -> outline -> paragraph expansions) to get around the limited context window, it'll be interesting to see if people will keep working towards that end or if it'll all become a moot point as the effective context window continues to scale up.
People have bills to pay, or will AI do that too?
Go on gearspace.com and ask in the pro audio forum, include details of make/model. Chances are someone else has experienced it. A lot of problems like this turn out to be capacitance quality issues in the power circuitry.

The shop will sometimes lie unless you can bring in a recording with two identical signal chains and only your mixer different. But it's also possible that you have a ground loop if your equipment is not all properly earthed. You didn't say if the different mixer which sounds OK is the same make and model as the problem unit. If it is then good, you have a simple demonstration of what's wrong. If it's two different kinds of mixer then it could be a design issue.

Apollo is a large project with many features. I’m sure they have many teams working on relatively-self contained subcomponents.
You can. There are an increasing (if not bewildering) number of Rust-based web frameworks. Some even now come with fine-grained reactivity (a la Svelte, Solid et al) and server-side rendering of components. Chris Biscardi covers a range of them in this yt playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtPciJ1UMuBpRg1KbXqx...

Whether you should or not I have no idea. I've put out a few appeals in Rust circles for examples of substantial real world use, but haven't come up with anything that convincing. It looks to me like it's early days yet, with many competing projects exploring the design space, but none being truly established.

I could be wrong and maybe there are some using these frameworks for real work. But it all smells a bit experimental to me.
