I think this is really important. Here is my take:

Right now in our economy, we heavily depend upon the limited experience and expertise of a single individual to solve a problem, create something new or make something “trendy.” What if this model was changed?

AI uses data from “everywhere” to train. AI requires human input. Lots and lots of human input. These data are “previous” work that are publicly available, dated and not necessarily “in tune” with the times. But the results generated from this broad set of public sources is biased-and not necessarily in the “right” direction for business applications.

It is conceivable that in the near future, employees will be told to focus on generating unique content—like puzzle pieces for a puzzle that hasn’t yet been designed-that will serve the main interests of the business employer, and this output data (content) will be used to train the “private” AI to help “move” the results in a direction that is more useful and competitive for the business.

Think: “active business intelligence.” Looking forward rather than backward.

Of course, if and when AI is capable of non-linear, creative, cross-domain thinking, we may have reached our undoing. But until then, I feel cautiously optimistic.

I don’t think that we have even begun to see the possibilities of AI in the near future economy. In 2023, it’s still just a toy, albeit the most amazing toy ever built.
Yes, makes sense. It just struck me that someone who graduates from such a learning list might totally miss that eastern thought heavily influenced the Greek philosophers and the practice of Gnosis, derived from the Sanskrit root word Gnana(Knowledge or wisdom).

When investigated down to the fundamentals, it is liberating to realize all the deep enquirers of all regions of the world arrived at many of the same insights regarding life. This hopefully leads to more unity, tolerance and mutual respect between people and different religions.
I believe that using direct Vulkan wrappers in Rust has the downside that you'll have to write a lot of unsafe Rust code to use them, and that's part of the reason a WebGPU-style API around Vulkan like WGPU is popular in Rust.

Holy cow does this thing have wildly obscure taste in tunes. I plugged in “Work It” — Marie Davidson, and it returned “Beautiful Weather” — Blemow. This is an 8-minute opus of a techno jam from the album Dutch Cow #13—the 10th and final Holy Cow album released in 2018, a true annus mirabilis from Blemow.

IMO my idea for making something like this really cool is to give the user more explainability (why are these two songs similar? according to which factors?), and then more control over search results (brainstorming here, but stuff like an obscurity slider, importance of beat similarity slider, etc.). You can try to extract explainable factors from your embeddings with something like NMF.

(PS—I like the esoteric results. This is cool, good job.)

He made public an offer for Twitter at a meme price. That bears repeating: a meme price. He was forced into purchasing Twitter because of that stupid decision.

Here's the thing about stupid decisions, we all make them. However, what we generally do is recognize our past stupidity and learn from it. If you don't recognize your stupid decision, you by logical definition remain stupid.

Musk has continued to defend and engage in his stupid decisions.

My finger burnt when I put it in a fire. It doesn't matter how many times fire had kept me warm, I changed my perspective about it on that day: when faced with the present undeniable truth.

The undeniable present truth truth is that Elon purchased Twitter for a meme price. The undeniable present truth is that he he is doubling down on "owning the libs," which is annihilating his Tesla customer base.

People have all the evidence in the world that Earth is a globe, and continue to make up (extremely lengthy) excuses why it is flat. I should probably walk away from this, because there is not point in arguing against ignored facts.

Again, the fact: Elon purchased Twitter at a grosely overvalued meme price.

Yeah but that show isn't for kids. Not that kids can't watch it, it's just not very interesting to them in my experience.

Popular media for kids now typically is gaming media and/or fanfiction. Undertale, FNAF, Harry Potter, and God knows what else (I try my best to avoid hearing about it). True villains feature quite prominently in all of this.

I usually refer to this as "business oriented" - not in a derogatory sense, but because their design decisions are primarily determined by their financial impact, vs another measure (such as fault tolerance, error detection, system consistency, or projected support hours required).

A lot of business oriented people may find my delineation here offensive, but it really isn't meant to be. While a business' job is to make money, and employees work for the business, they may still disagree on how to evaluate a given action - because the business making money and being financially optimised may not be the main reason they work there.

Hardly. I never said, "Foone mustn't say X on Twitter", or even "they should not say X on Twitter". The latest post actually contains the phrase "NEVER POST ME ON YOUR SITE EVER AGAIN." I'm not even gonna say that they should not make this demand, I just find it pretty funny that they think anyone is going to respect it.

My understanding is that lack of trust in Tether actually makes Tether money. First a few things to note:

- Tether sells 1 USDT for 1 USD

- Tether will buy back 1 USDT for 1 USD

- Tether is also traded on crypto exchanges

When people start to lose trust in USDT, the price of USDT on the crypto exhanges drops. Lets say 1 USDT becomes worth $0.99 on the market. Tether then buys USDT on the exchanges for $0.99, even though they had previously sold that USDT for $1. They have just earned $0.01 on every USDT bought.

This accomplishes two things:

1. This pumps the price up so Tether doesn't fully collapse on the market

2. Tether makes money

Tether doesn't need to keep one USD in reserve for every USDT out there, they just need to keep enough that if the prices start to drop they can buy back USDT for cheaper than they sold it for and prevent a full bank run.

As long as there's a cycle of people periodically losing trust in USDT, Tether skims cents off of the trading market at high enough volume to pay their employees and make a tidy profit.

ChatGPT want me to use "Them" not "Him" to refer to my grandpa last week:

ChatGPT:

""Them" is a gender-neutral pronoun that can refer to one person or multiple people of any a C gender. Using "them" instead of "him" in this context ensures that the person being referred to is not assumed to be male, which could be more inclusive and respectful.
Additionally, using "them" in this context can also account for the possibility of the family member being a female, non-binary, or gender non-conforming individual."
I can't think of a sentence that can't be rephrased to avoid "and" (usually resulting in something that sounds less elegant, admittedly). For lists, it's helpful but optional. Sometimes you can make do with "with" instead. Compound sentences with "and" can be split up.

> It is fundamentally impossible to both ignore X and make decisions based on X at the same time.

Of course you can - the former can be the action you take as a result of the decision. Choosing to not consider something is distinct from refusing to make a decision based on that something, but both are "ignoring" that something.

Again, this boils down to how "ignoring the situation" is interpreted. I can ignore situations with UB and proceed as if those situations aren't present, or I can ignore situations with UB and proceed as if the UB weren't present. The Standard's wording does not rule out one or the other.

In addition, why would the "ignore the existence of UB" not fall under "behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment"? That seems to match "pretend the UB were not present" much more closely.

> Your argument is akin to saying that a company hiring process that "ignores race" means
eliminating applicants based on their race.

No, it means that the hiring process makes decisions without considering what race-based effects that may have. If that happens to result in weird race-based outcomes, then that's what happens.

The point is that this is a cliched lazy trolling point by Android users. iPhones cost more than the cheapest tier of Android devices but once you’re out of that tier the prices are pretty similar, and relatively few people are buying the top-end devices of either variety.

It’s also incomplete because iPhones are much faster and historically have been supported years longer: if you had $200 for a phone, buying an iPhone two generations back will likely get you the same number of years of use. There’s something like a 4 year gap between Apple’s CPU performance and everyone else when it comes to single-threaded performance, and that’s what people notice the most since it affects things like browser speed and people buying cheap phones probably aren’t playing demanding games which are aggressively multicore.
This part, about one of the crew from the crashed bomber, is so sad:

> When he arrived at the front gate, his uniform was torn up, his military ID was gone, and he was banged up from his escape. His parachute was still on his back. He told the airmen at the front gate that a B-52 had crashed, but the word hadn’t spread to them yet. Mattocks, a Black man, couldn’t prove who he was. So, the airmen arrested him for stealing government property.

Brilliant. Racism slowed response to a broken arrow situation. You'd think a guy showing up having clearly just survived a plane crash, with witnesses bringing him to the scene would be sufficient to at least place a phone call.

Nope. Arrest the black guy.

What if the "other human" is in the process of murdering people at that very point?
Fully agree with you on the significant efficiency advantage of electric cars vs. ICE-cars.

There might be several use cases, airplanes is one for sure, given the energy density per kg is too low in batteries vs. kerosene today. Pure hydrogen planes have big risks associated to them.

Potentially not having to drill into the ground anymore to extract oil for fuel production is another one. Producing conventional fuels and plugging them into the existing distribution system is beneficial in terms of how rapidly we could replace CO2-adding fuel with CO2-neutral fuel. The market would take care of this as soon as synthetic fuels are cheaper than “old fuels”. This is especially relevant if you think about the billions of people in the developing world that today cannot afford electric cars or the country doesn’t have the infrastructure to support electric cars. Batteries also still have cons in their production process (extracting lithium for example), and recycling is not solved neither. Again, this might be solved at some point, but scaling existing battery tech today to billions of cars would have its own side effects / feasibility issues.

Another benefit I could think of is we would reduce our reliance on certain countries that own most of the oil, geopolitically a very important factor as well.

Just thinking out loud here. Increasing our odds to potentially produce billions of liters of conventional fuel that might be cheaper than “old fuel” at some point, while taking CO2 out of the atmosphere, sounds promising to me.

It’s important to remember that those were largely media creations, not something which affected a large number people or were problems specific to iPhones.

I had funding lined up for an experiment with Loon to deliver bandwidth to hospital ships, and now work with another guy who was at X during that time. Their perspectives are similar: the logistics to make this work with any reliability is truly heroic (I'm not asking for 5 9s, one 7 would be a good start). The experiments they did were incredible. But as a reliable asset ... good luck.

Wherever people use Excel as the centerpiece of their work, there is an opportunity to help improve things, for fun and profit :)

In general, most opportunities lie on the seams between well-understood areas. Knowing more than one area helps. Many of these opportunities are too small for hockey-stick growth which VCs crave, or for huge contracts which large corporations desire. They are perfectly sufficient for a mid-size sustainable business though. Specialized things, like the bespoke work on and around open-source software from the post.

With any luck, that work may be pleasant.
