Let me add to this, have a loved one check you out once a month chances are you can't see your back or the top of your head. If something looks "funny" go get it checked out -funny means discolored and not symmetrical. The only reason mine was caught was because my wife was concerned about a mole on my back -turns out the mole was nothing but the exam resulted in having about 20 different moles removed including one that was cancerous -everything is cool but I was lucky. Now I get to go to the derm every 3 month for the next couple of years. Use sunscreen!
Spend is loss. If they lost $1 for every $1 of revenue, they’d be breaking even. But they aren’t. They‘d have to double their revenue just to break even.

So yes, they lose $2 for every $1 earned.
Incident Command (NIMS) best practice is that someone's effective span of control is 3 to 7 people, with 5 being optimal. Beyond that, you lose the ability to easily keep track of people's status.
Say one of your dependencies has no pre-built wheels available, so you need gcc to build it from source in your docker image.

You can apt install gcc in a build stage, install your dependency and then you don't need to bother clearing apt lists cache, pruning unneeded packages such as gcc and the packages that were installed alongside it, etc.

Then, you create another stage for the final production runtime, copy the entire virtual environment over and that's it.

In short, the virtual environment is easier to transport from one stage to another, compared to a non-isolated environment -- and that makes it easy to trim down the image size.
This simply isn't true and is like people saying you're lucky you that you only lost one arm some people lost two. What matters is the relevant laws and the perception. Severance is a thing in all industries. I'd imagine you are just repeating something you heard on Fox News, but maybe you can try researching the subject a bit more and find out you're flat wrong.
from their site: "Neeva was founded by Sridhar Ramaswamy (ex-SVP of Ads at Google) and Vivek Raghunathan (ex-VP of Monetization at YouTube)."

Sounds ominous. Ads & Monetization, all they need now is a director of abusive, addictive psychology to tweak The Algorithm.

Also based on the founders careers, I suspect the "digital bill of rights" page on that site is a total crock of shit too. They'll collect & store everything forever and abuse you with it, because that's what Internet Tech Company means now.
Yep. Scary stuff. Quite a few archives went up in flames over the years.

Price wise if this card is $5,000 that's $52 per where you don't need any onboard smarts handled by the camera in a space where commercial cameras are hundreds of dollars to buy or replace to have the particular smarts you're looking for that day. I've done a few PoCs in the smart city/smart retail space they are advertising here and they pretty much end up falling into the "everything must be pre-processed as much as possible and sent to the cloud" or "everything must be dumb and sent to the central recorder" buckets as anything in the middle creates a bad cost balance where you're neither optimising hardware+simplicity costs or data+cloud costs. I'll admit though I don't normally go out to sell cameras all day it's just something we've added as clients in part of a larger connectivity rework (CBRS/LTE/Wi-Fi/GPON/traditional wired) and we typically partner up with some specialized company on the video processing use case. The onboard camera processing is usually about justifying a cloud pitch ("we use data to send video when something interesting happens" or "we send only the best picture of the face in HD to save bandwidth but still be able to ID them later") not so much letting you go in and solve your own problem. One exception I ran into was license plates at a car wash outfit where they were able to send the plate numbers back to their main app but that probably came from being a pre-baked solution for road tolls.

I also have a sneaking suspicion using lower channel counts let you raise the FPS but the max of 96 channels is the hard limit, tuned to allow up to use cases like recognition from unprocessed feeds but the documentation access seems to be a manual approval process so I can't verify for sure.
If you're finding that your 1:1's are increasingly useless, consider spacing them out more. Ask to meet every other week or monthly. Set an agenda with things to talk about that are important to the role. Additionally, setting hard time limits will condense it to what matters. Start with 30m every other week, move to 15 or monthly if it still isn't useful.

> So I think the problem here is not that crypto isn’t a ponzi scheme, it certainly is. But if so, then what part of the financial services industry can claim that it isn’t also?

Stocks that pay dividends aren't ponzi schemes.

Bonds that use the money to pay for public infrastructure aren't ponzi schemes.

And on that note, private companies that use the funds from the sales of stock in order to actually provide a good or service, would also qualify as non-ponzi scheme.

Are there ponzi schemes on Wall St? Plenty. But most of it? No.

$0.01 per LED

About $2 per 100x100 mm board if you order about 100 of them.

About $1 per above board for assembly service.

Total: $6 per 15x15 LED board of 100x100 mm.

Total: $12 per 30x30 LED board of 100x100 mm.

I have no idea about how many would you actually need.

As for the power supply, each LED draws 12 mA. So you are going to need quite a beefy supply.

15x15 grid = 2.7 A @ 5 V

30x30 grid = 10.8 A @ 5 V
What do copyright holders receive in return? I can get behind the appeal for technological advancement, but the only way this argument can be made in good faith is if we also mandate that any AI model trained on publicly available data be open sourced and released into public domain.

Maybe this would be an appropriate time to talk about abolishing copyright altogether rather than entertaining the idea of making exceptions for AI, i.e. tech oligopolies.
And I'm sure someone else would be happy if their tax dollars went to those things you dub of dubious worth. Picking and choosing where your tax dollars are spent is impractical.
The package manager is one of my favorite things about Julia. From its integration with Git to the ability to effortlessly reproduce the precise environment in which any program was run, it’s programming language package management, finally, done right:

So you'd be totally fine if the NYP made an official announcement: "As of today any crimes perpetrated against Chinatown businesses will not result in law enforcement response." I'm talking in terms of real, concrete actions. You'd genuinely be okay with the government singling out this community and making it clear that it's fair game for criminals to target this community?
"lines of code" is not a pseudo metric. On large scale projects, statistical population density functions emerge, and if you need to manage such a project (like getting to the moon by X date) you can't just throw away the entire field of statistics because it says some things that you personally, anecdotally would like to dispute.
There’s a big one down my block in DC, on the corner. In the fall it’s an insane hazard and I either cross the street or cover my head as I walk under it. It also makes a big mess on street, as cars run over the fruit and then they slowly rot.

Beautiful tree, though.
I was under the impression that inadvertently causing aliasing via by-ref arguments in Fortran is also effectively UB, and any diagnostics that compilers might produce are best-effort and will not catch non-trivial cases.

Also I don't like the NeevaAI pricing break down style. The annual plan which cost more upfront is broken down into a monthly amount instead of the what I will pay today at checkout price. It brings back negative memories of signing up for Adobe Cloud.
I think there are a lot of assumptions that Google hasn't already integrated this type of technology into their search engine. I suspect they have, but they've done so conservatively, to avoid changing how their "Golden Goose" lays eggs.

Right, I see what you're getting at. I do agree that AI systems will need to be able to use oracles, "current weather" is a great example of something a human also looks up.

The reason I want the model itself to learn Physics, Maths, etc. is that I think it is going to end up being critical to the challenge of actually developing logical reasoning on a par or above humans, and to gain a true "embodied understanding" of the real world.

But yeah, it would be nice to have your architecture support updating facts without full retraining. One approach is to use an oracle as you note. Another would be to have systems do some sort of online learning (as humans do). (Why not both?) The advantage of the latter approach is that it allows an agent to deeply update their model of the world in response to new facts, as humans can sometimes do. Anything that I'm just pulling statelessly from an oracle cannot update the rest of my "mind". But this is perhaps a bit speculative; I agree in the short-term at least we'll see better performance with hybrid LLM + Oracle models. (As I noted, LaMDA already does this.)

However I think that a big part of Wolfram's argument in the OP is that he thinks that an LLM can't learn Physics or Maths, or reliably learn static facts that a smart human might have memorized like distances between cities. And that's the position I was really trying to argue against. I think more scale and more data likely gets us way further than Wolfram wants to give credit for.
> the city as a whole

this is even worse, it's not for the city but the whole state. How can you perform a study that dumps, say, Manhattan and Rochester into the same dataset is unclear to me.
EU GDPR says otherwise. Furthermore, using fingerprinting to bypass do-not-track functionality (e.g. Apple's App Tracking Transparency) will get you slapped with an FTC fine or lawsuits. Hell, Google knows this intimately, because they got caught bypassing P3P[0] with a bogus privacy policy string[1].

[0] P3P, or Platform for Privacy Preferences, is an obsolete standard for specifying machine-readable privacy policies from a combination of standard attributes. IE6 enforced it, AFAIK.

This whole thread just feels like low effort coder bro chest bumping. Low effort appeal to non-existent authority.

What real human problems have you all resolved that lifted the lowest in society without the kowtow to those of high net worth (another appeal to imagined authority)?

We’re just high priests avoiding real work of keeping ourselves alive.
Every formalization of a workflow is susceptible to this.

I recall how when Git started getting widespread adoption, a popular blogpost theme was discussion of cleaning up your commits...which is the kind of thing you can do if you're writing in small increments. But code that "moves mountains" in the architecture, as is often the case in a greenfield project where there's a lot of learning being done, tends to have dirty rip-off-the-bandage moments. If you clean up those kinds of commits, it's not really beneficial to future code archeology. But if you're clocking minimal effort and maximum CYA, it suddenly becomes hugely important to dot the i's and cross the t's, because that looks more professional than a commit log where you iterate on it a bunch and your log is like "maybe it's fixed now?"
I did a PhD and Post-doc in computational chemistry (focusing on quantum chemical simulations) in the late 2000s/early 2010s and nearly all the software I used was written partially or wholly in Fortran including Gaussian, Q-Chem, Quantum Espresso, and NWChem. Most of the professors I worked with only knew Fortran and had no interest in learning C/C++. The one exception was a professor who was in the process of porting her group's in-house molecular mechanics software from Fortran to C/C++ (don't remember which) so they could get it running on GPUs easily.

I think one of the driving factors in this is that, as other people in this thread have discussed, most of the people writing this software are not software developers and have no interest in being software developers. The scientists trained in the 60s/70s/80s learned Fortran, who then founded their own research groups and taught their students Fortran, who are now running their own groups using Fortran because it's what they know. Some folks use Python for data analysis after their simulations run, but even that was rare 10 years ago.
> food is cheaper than in the western countries.

I am reminded of Boris Yeltsin visiting an American grocery store.

I don't imagine it is hard to survive in either place.

There is more to life than surviving.
As an engineering manager: yes to all of these.

When I 1-1 with my reports I’m looking to see where their mind is this week and what they’re struggling with, so I can figure out how I can help them.

The small talk is more important than many people give it credit for. Finding common ground and having a mutually friendly relationship makes the above conversations so much easier on both of us. We’re both more comfortable and more willing to be transparent and genuine.
> a lay person has to follow all of the laws

That is obviously untrue. Why do you feel the need to make obviously false claims to support your position?

You need to obey the UCMJ?

You need to obey campaign finance laws?

You need to obey the Stop Trading On Congressional Knowledge Act?

You need to obey state law as incorporated by the Assimilative Crimes Act in jurisdictions you've never been to?

You need to obey HIPAA? The Privacy Act? The Freedom of Information Act?

A huge number of laws simply do not apply to you if you aren't engaged in a particular activity. E.g., you are not a covered entity for HIPAA unless you work for a medical provider or insurer. And a huge proportion of those criminal penalties only apply to government employees, not to average civilians at all.
I genuinely believe a 15 minute back and forth between an engineer and an interviewee will give a better signal for hiring than any hours+ long Leetcode 'assignment'.

"The Comma 3 hands-free driving-assist technology is better than anything you can get from a legacy manufacturer." Pretty impressive. I keep following this device but I just don't drive enough to justify it right now.
Thanks for the link - I tried to find a pricing page or equivalent but obviously didn't look hard enough. One thing to note is that the basic search appears to only allow 50 queries per month, and limited use across devices, so it seems they are really just using it as a teaser. That makes me feel better about the product actually, as it suggests against a business model of trying to monetize personal information.

It is half the price of Kagi though, so either they have a lower cost structure somehow or they are currently running it at a loss
It's likely nothing but it's worth getting checked out. I was a lifeguard and worked outside in my 20's and didn't think anything about it, but as I'm finding out all the damage you do to your body in your 20's comes back to kick your ass in your 50's. I only went in to get checked out because my wife was nagging me over a mole on my back. The one on my back was nothing but the one on my chest was cancer -and that diagnosis scares the shit out of you, you'll never realize how many cancer commercials there are on TV until you have it, ugh. Treatment is pretty straight forward they just cut it out, it doesn't hurt the worst is just waiting for the biopsy to get analyzed. The only advice I can give you is to get it checked out, you'll feel a lot better when it's taken care of.
But based on this study showing that the IRS spends their time and money making life worse for low and middle class taxpayers...why would we want to give them more money and resources to do that?

Maybe there is a great ROI on going after people who can't afford it, but that doesn't make it's a good thing. I would rather those who need it, have it vs giving more money to Raytheon and Northrop Grumman for our war machine.
Couldn't read the article due to paywall but I think the definition of "practical uses" is the key contextual point here. Quantum Computing is not really going to provide practical use to the average Joe, and won't for a while - that's what classical computing is for. A layman with no real need can only run Shor's algorithm so many times. There's no real "killer app" that is Quantum exclusive, and there probably won't be for a decade or two minimum.

That said, in industries or companies where quantum computing can and does create value, (such as Lockheed's or Honeywell's materials research or a dozen pharmaceuticals who use it for drug discovery), the hype is just starting to build. However, that's quite niche to people outside that world, and any of the advances from what we learn from Quantum machines will be pretty boring to the general public.....until we use Quantum computers to break encryption algorithms, at least.
Mozilla was named because the browser was going to be a "Mosaic killer". They made a bug tracker which they named bugzilla. Atlassian made their own bug tracker called Jira, in reference to the japanese transliteration for godzilla, "gojira", which is similar to bugzilla.
I noticed that when people do not understand the system, things start to deteriorate until they can't do the simplest thing correctly or doing it takes way more time than stakeholders can accept. There is then pressure to get done faster, people start compromising on quality, etc. I hope you can see how there are many ways for things to start spiraling down.

Many probably noticed that very old, relatively simple machines, cars, tractors, printing presses, etc. can be maintained almost indefinitely. Many businesses do prefer old machines even when there are superior new alternatives and that is because the new versions are just too complex.

To keep maintaining something indefinitely you need to understand the machine enough to know every single piece that needs to be maintained and how to do it properly. Everywhere you need to lube it or clean it or to look from time to time.

Make something complex enough and nobody will have this knowledge. Things start deteriorating. Maybe the data in the database will start accumulating defects, maybe those defects start breaking processes, maybe the processes will not be fixed properly but the errors just get ignored possibly causing other data inconsistencies, and so on.

When you have people who wrote it and understand it fully they can very likely maintain it properly because they understand how to work with it, where to look, how to address problems. Loose them and if the system is complex enough the new crew may not be able to acquire this ability. And then it is just the question of how fast the system is going to be deteriorating.
