Fair. My point was largely that it doesn't "know" or "understand" anything itself, in order to draw conclusions; it merely has a whole lot of text in it and a model that allows it to associate that text very convincingly to look like it knows stuff. Thus, any answer it gives on a question like this will not be based on a comprehensive analysis of data, but rather on what the model predicts people would most likely say about the subject.

If you haven't already, read "the 3-body problem".
The level of capital investment people are willing to make is proportional to the expected return, net of taxes. So, you are essentially arguing about the shape of the curve. Would society be better off if dividends were taxed at 10% or 20% or 80%? The reality is that no one really knows because it's impossible to conduct controlled experiments and the system is too complex to model accurately. We're left to make policy choices based on intuition, ideology, and low-quality macroeconomic "science". Anyone who claims that a certain large-scale change in the tax code would definitely produce positive results is simply ignorant or arguing in bad faith; the reality is that we lack the ability to accurately predict second-order effects.

For example, consider the 10% federal luxury tax imposed in 1991 to reduce the budget deficit. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it devastated several domestic manufacturing industries and destroyed many jobs. Whoops.

Nope, you have to install developer tools to get it. Usually that means visual studio. Historically they also ship compilers and command line dev tools as a separate package, I'm not sure if that's still a thing.

Nmake is also not very compatible with gnu or bsd make.

This isn't really the case. The text of the OGL v1.0a is really very terse, especially compared to the GPL v2.

Further, there's also quite a well established argument that the GPL v2 would withstand an attempt to revoke the license: https://copyleft.org/guide/comprehensive-gpl-guidech8.html#x...

The text that that argument relies on in the GPL v2 is simply not present in the OGL v1.0a.
Offers etc. are almost never “employment contracts” — in fact, every one I’ve ever received points out that it is not a contract, and that the relationship is at-will.

There’s no difference between rescinding an offer, and terminating the at-will relationship one second into the first day - except a bit more notice.

I believe that Jerome Powell wants to gaslight United States employers into shaking off excess and over hired workers.

The strange thing is I believe the economy is better than it is being portrayed as.

The unemployment rate indicates that the economy is strong. And going into 2023, most of the headwinds like ukraine war and energy inflation don’t look so bad.

And China is turning a bit less crazy and opening borders.

These are all good.

I think perhaps having all these big tech companies over hire and over spend on talent is prematurely screwing smaller businesses and startups.

Powell and his big business friends are highly aligned to scare employers and give them air cover for agressive lay offs.

I believe 2023 will be far better economically than people think, and that the situation is not as bad as it is being portrayed.

They want to scare you into laying off to increase economic dynamism which is better for everyone.

A lot of people are getting paid way too much and afraid to ever quit because they can’t get a better job. That prevents innovation and growth.

The solution to scare everyone into firing helps everyone.
Counterpoint: plenty of software doesn't provide any third options, because representing the data a just a single bit is convenient and the idea that there possibly being more than two options never even crossed the developer's mind. When you do get more than two options it's because the developer heard that it might be a possibility and they wanted to account for it, even it's never used. I don't think you can gleam much information about the cultural context from what options are available in software forms.
I don't think UBI is more sustainable. I'm saying UBI and our current capitalistic system are both unsustainable, and it seems to appear that capitalism is even more unsustainable as it continually invents new ways to extract more from the planet and faster. People want to consume more (ad infinitum), and capitalism aligns those desires with profit making creating a mechanism to achieve infinitely-growing consumption
I think vendor published benchmarks are fine if the dataset is open / accessible, the benchmark code is published, all software versions are disclosed, and the exact hardware is specified.

If you specifically mean a general LLM trained on a general language corpus with instruction finetuning this is correct.

Fortunately very few real world use cases need to be this general.

If you are training a LLM on a domain specific corpus or finetuning on specific downstream tasks even relatively tiny models at 330m params are definitely useful and not “toys” and can be used to accurately perform tasks such as semantic text search, document summarization and named entity recognition.

I am going to hard disagree.

This analysis focuses on the language specification and ignores the wider picture.

The first question we have to ask about a language is what caused it to be created. Making a language is a lot of effort (though it can be a lot of fun), and there has to be a reason for it (even if it just curiosity).

Now to simplify stuff, let us choose to ignore purely exploratory languages.

The first question to ask is what problem the author was trying to solve with the language.

Take a look at C and AWK in which Brian Kernigan was heavily involved. The design goals for C were a lot different than the design goals of AWK. This led to C generally being compiled, and AWK being interpreted.

In addition, in the case of C, there were deliberate decision decisions made to make it easier and to compile and optimize (for example all the undefined behavior).

Now let's take a look at Java. The solution space that this was aiming for from nearly the beginning was a high-performance language compiled to a virtual machine using garbage collection. A lot of design decisions were made for the language with that goal in mind.

Or look at C++. The design goals basically necessitated a compiler (even if the output of the compiler was C as CFront did) vs an interpreter.

In addition, an ecosystem of a language is much more than the language, and can even be more important than the language itself. And the ecosystem, for the most part picks a side in the interpreted vs compiled debate.

You could have a Java without the JVM, but you would lose access to a lot of techniques, libraries, debugging tools, and development tools that you have now.

C++ does have interpreters, but these are all "use at your own risk" and many libraries will behave in weird ways (with regard to static initialization, etc) since they are being used in an unintended manner. I don't think anybody uses an interpreted C++ in a production system, and rather it is used more for exploratory development and analysis.

Similarly a compiled python loses compatibility with certain libraries and there are issues that pop up that you would not have with the more widely used interpreted version.

So yes, theoretically languages can be compiled or interpreted, but practically from the design going forward, usually one or the other is explicitly or implicitly aimed for, and using a language against that grain can lead to a lot of unnecessary pain.
You can enjoy anything if you try hard enough. I go to great lengths to get the best coffee and prepare it in the best way possible, but I'm still very happy to drink an imperfect cup of coffee. Some of the worst coffee I can imagine is whatever they serve on American Airlines flights. It has such a weird flavor, I'm not even sure it's actually coffee. With all of that in mind, I am looking forward to drinking the next cup of airline coffee that is offered to me ;) It's something different, even if it's different in all the wrong ways.
You're correct. And they didn't "revert", as GP is saying, but rather added junction points such that "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" is the same as C:\ProgramData, and that junction point was, at least based on my contacts at Microsoft at the time, more added because Microsoft devs were getting annoyed trying to `cd` there than anything else (i.e., explicitly not a repudiation of forcing devs to deal with spaces). The fact it was introduced only in Windows Vista, after everyone'd been forced to deal with it, was intentional.
Health care should be unbundled from employment. And decoupling time off from your current employer could be interesting. When you have to mess with yoour vacation schedule because you need to change jobs, it means only steadily employed people can go on vacations.
That sounds like property taxes, which already exist.

On the flip side, I wonder how much can be taxed? Is there a maximum? Currently, I work for the government through June.

Maybe I'm conflating UBI with increased taxes. The money has to come from somewhere, right? I'm in Southern California, where we enjoy some of the highest taxes and most expensive property in the world, so I'm a bit sensitive.

Also, he seems to correlate breathing air to being fed, which is wrong. There are plenty of places to get food for free, stuff that is about to expire gets donated. Just reach out to your local government or community college. It's a lot easier than hunting for it.

Last thing, here in California, about half the state is federal or state parkland and wilderness... The state itself blocks development and adds so much red tape to make housing much more expensive.
I don't think whomever is in control of these objects are aliens from outer space either. And I don't think they make mistakes of crashing into windmills as well. But "they" are here for whatever reason.

I worry that this is the case. The idea that we’re in some advanced species sphere of influence is a bit unnerving. Given the ability to create deep space probes, it should be fairly easy for someone to keep tabs on a large swatch of the galaxy.

If a species had a mere 1 million year technological lead on us, they’d certainly have nothing to fear and would only need to do a drive by every ten-thousand years or so, to keep tabs on things.

Perhaps more concerning is that we could be in between two competing species and they’re monitoring to make sure the other hasn’t colonized this system.

When it comes to aliens there are many possibilities, and few of them are good for us imo.
I did find and use Select and Where at least, but I recall running into caveats with them or with their interactions with other parts of the language that meant that they couldn't be used identically. I don't remember specifically what it was since it's been a while but I remember it being frustrating. I should probably find a cheat sheet of equivalents if I try writing it again.

> Also null BIMI records as well

Could be useful, but a successful attack on BIMI would require:
- Getting access to the DNS of the domain (in which case the null record will simply be replaced)
- Obtaining a VMC for the domain, which should not be possible due to the extended validation requirement for a VMC (such as: phone validation)
- Spending ~$800 on a VMC

> especially if one is going to use soft-fail.

As explained in the article, if DMARC is deployed then softfail is equal to (hard) fail. With DMARC anything that is not an SPF pass, is not aligned, thus a fail.

The only exception here would be a very old legacy email system that doesn't support DMARC. But those will also not support BIMI anyway.

> Or maybe a malware symbol.

BIMI should always require a VMC. It should be impossible to obtain a VMC with a 'malware symbol'. Unless of course you are willing to pay a lot to get it registered as your company logo at your trademark office.
People always claim ninja is fast, but I can't figure out what they mean by that. A typical C++ project build uses 10-10,000 CPU core minutes, and make takes (maybe, in some pessimal situation) 100 milliseconds to schedule and coordinate the build invocations.

Even if ninja is 100x faster, it really, really doesn't matter, at all.
As with many things I never expect others to be respecting arbitrary style guides when they write something. (Same reason I wouldn't use semi-weekly or biweekly.)
A made-up requirement, in which the centralization of abundance is justified on the basis of scarcity. Even in the feudal period, aristocracy came with obligations, like common access to land for purposes of passage or forage. Basically, this is just an excuse for people to claim more than they are able to use in the present, by asserting the necessity of them being able to do so in the future.

It's how national borders work.

A distinct negative, as far as I am concerned. Passports only became a thing around World War 1. Artificial restrictions on movement by labor is a massive economic distortion that essentially treats labor as a captive resource by mutual agreement between states. Would-be economic migrants whose goal is to work are equated with marauding armies.
Yeah, seems to me there'd be a bit of time in there before any civilizations decided it was better to stay silent. But that time might not be astronomically relevant.

To be fair, because we don't know how to construct gravity waves does not mean such a means does not exist.

Keep in mind, not too long ago we thought we needed to heat up a fillament surrounded by an inert gas in order to make artificial light, and our understanding of gravity is fairly poor (to the point where it's largely considered an unsolved problem quite how it fits together with other parts of physics).

Inflation rescaled money, so you'd expect new records for everything with "RECORD PRICE IS X!" stories. This is nearly a non-effect since wages also increase (with lag) to follow inflation, and, as the story notes, the increase in car prices is below general inflation. So to get a better number you'd need to inflation adjust the claims (which this did not).

Then, Fed rates increased higher than in a long time, which changes interest rates on loans. Since rates have been low, over a long time worth of slow inflation, this adds on top of the rates for new car purchases. This is more of a real effect in nominal costs, but anything requiring loans will see this raise, not just cars. And the rates are more in line with most of history - it's only young people that have not lived long enough to realize rates will change many times in a lifetime that are amazed by it.

For example, here [1] is historical finance rates for 48 month loans for new cars. The current rate, ~7%, was not seen since around 2008, and it was higher than 7% from 2008 all the way back through the entire chart (to 1972), with significant time above 10%, peaking around 17% in the early 1980s.

2.5 percent shrinkage is a COMPLETELY NORMAL level of shrinkage, for like decades. Getting something like 1 percent shrinkage would likely get you noticed by the upper management of your company.
Ergo all causal hypotheses are unfalsifiable? After all if a model fits the data well, that's just correlation.

Do you have a competing theory? No one has been able to propose one that fits as well as greenhouse gases, and god knows people have tried.
That's some serious disinformation, researchers in Brazil said it was Twitter [1]

To quote the article:

"Researchers in Brazil said Twitter in particular was a place to watch because it is heavily used by a circle of right-wing influencers — Bolsonaro allies who continue to promote election fraud narratives. Several influencers have had their accounts banned in Brazil and now reside in the United States. Bolsonaro himself was on vacation in Florida on Sunday."
