What's the size of the cohorts by years of employment at Google? I'm guessing it's an exponential but maybe a fractional exponential (guessing because it's unlikely to have been linear)

I also expect it has discontinuities at vesting times.

Some employers (Cisco, old HP maybe) fire engineers who can't transition out to senior roles almost as a matter of policy.
Not only is the planet Earth made of 1.59% aluminum, aluminum recycling is so incredibly efficient that a full 75% of all aluminum ever produced in history is still in active use in a recycled form.

If anything, we should probably be using more of it for everyday products like food containers, as a safer and more eco-friendly alternative to the sheer amount of plastic found in the supermarket.
Key management is the interesting part, although it's possible to screw up just in the crypto part as well. Encryption is just a way of substituting the trouble of keeping the key secret vs keeping the data secret.

You're going to match your key management to your threat model.

What are you going to do to keep the key safe in the scenarios of your threat model where an adversary can access the DB contents?
Unfortunately, the allegory has a very concrete end result to test: dead werewolves.

Housing fixes everything is a lot more difficult to measure outcomes.

Also, killing werewolves increases every existing owner's property values, but increasing housing does not, and should, per economics, tend toward devaluing their precious property values.

Not sure, but they have to be doing something right for the organization to reach that level. I'm also for shaking things up though. It's time to breath new life into these companies.
It's a nice idea, noting modern cohorts would include denials of the factuality.
I don’t pay that much attention to how countries, or people, call themselves. I look at what they do.

I'm shocked to learn that Google is a terrible company. Shocked!

The whole thing really comes down to a tension between on the one hand trying to find a globally optimal solution, which requires lots of state coordination, and locally optimal solutions, which are unlikely to be as good, but do not have the coordination overhead.
Beverages with carbonation go flat and stale rather quickly in plastic containers. For soda this is tolerable, perhaps because they have alot of carbonation and can lose quite alot. But for beer it sucks. Some regions around the world use plastic bottles for beer to keep costs down, but the already cheap beer is even worse than it might otherwise be.

Glass works well but I believe the costs, accounting for aspects like shipping weight, are greater.
I do the same thing with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Reddit, which has the added advantage of trashing the experience a bit so I use them much less.

Instagram doesn’t really work outside of the app for me though
The thing is that Alphabet made a $13.62 billion profit in Q4 of last year[0] so these are not "lean times". Their profit was down from $13.91 billion in the previous quarter.

In other words, this is a company that is making at least $50 billion a year in profit yet is pretending to be so poor that layoffs are necessary! Even if Google lost a billion or 2 in a lean year, that's still a drop in the bucket compared to their profits and what an actual leader would do.

You may be interested that Porsche basically dumped that project recently, though it didn't get a lot of media attention.

The current Haru Oni plant is a really tiny pilot plant, but it always came with the promise that it'd be scaled up by many orders of magnitude. Der Spiegel recently reported that the plan to build a large wind farm to power the next stage has been cancelled:

Not at all familiar with biochemistry but octopuses are aliens on earth with very different evolutionary track having developed ‘brains’ before our ancestors did independently! It’s crazy we don’t study things like cephalopods like we do SETI etc…
Perhaps another thing that I should mention, which should be considered if an evaluation is attempting to be made, is that such a technology already exists. (I forgot to mention that earlier.)

Also, as mentioned in some other comments: "Alternatively, having tools like this easily available makes it easier to raise awareness and build teams to combat them." Another thing mentioned in another comment: "The entities with interest in it have bigger pockets than some random open source project. ... There are many small entities with interest in such a technology which don't have huge budgets. Small terrorist / extremist organizations pushing a specific agenda." However, in the small case, it is perhaps not as impactful, now that it is FOSS and that it allows others to raise awareness and combat them as described by the other comment. In the big case, where others could make it independently, having this FOSS implementation helps even more against it, since they would otherwise just make it up by themself.

Prove is the technically correct word here, in the sense of mathematical proofs: the existence of an example proves that it's not impossible.
It should be said that the overall efficiency of airplanes is also terrible. It's just that there's no drop-in replacement, and therefore people are looking at e-fuels for planes. But this doesn't change a simple fact: This is very inefficient and won't be cheap.
I _think_ Perforce's QA-C uses abstract interpretation, but I'm not 100% sure.
This aligns with how the situation was described to me, with the exception that he was actually trying to help her get a job at Google, but she was turned down by the hiring manager (not Richard) and was unhappy about it.

It was terrible timing given the other stuff that was going on with Google at the time, and he sort of got swept up in all that.

I do agree with Richard's statement that he had a lapse in judgement.

I think it's critically important to keep personal and professional life strictly separate, especially as an executive.
That's still irrelevant if they can make more money from the crypto market as it is today.
the fact-checker could also be the person who is just flat out wrong, though. Just ban/block the OP (for spreading misinformation, obviously) so they can’t respond and put a big flag next to their post labeling it misinformation.
When you have to ask, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't afford it but often means they have quite a lot of wiggle room in pricing and will slide up or down the scale depending on how 'big' of a client you are.

PHP's big advantage over Node is that it comes with batteries included. Ok, those batteries could have been namespaced better but JS and Node suck more than any language because you have to import literally everything to get anything done.
There's also the iw4x project that brings community servers and patches to the 2009 Modern Warfare 2. The game mechanics, asinine matchmaking algorithm, map design, and monetization model of 2019+ Call of Dutys don't spark joy for those who grew up on 90's/00's PC multiplayer games.

Sensors matter a lot for guidance. In order to build an effective radar guided missile it needs a fairly large array. So in practice the minimum missile diameter ends up being something around 7 inches. Long range surface to air missiles have to be much wider than that.

Data links also make a big difference. So the missile needs another fairly large antenna to receive guidance cues from other platforms.

I've spun up Hitchin' a Ride by Green Day and I think the results are quite interesting. Despite them being completely different from one another, they somehow manage to catch the vibe of certain sections of the song.

Really cool project.
Almost feels like there needs to be some regulation to prevent giant companies from being so destructive.

Yes! Evidence.
I click on search ads sometimes, but it's only when it happens to be the same result that I'm already looking for and it saves me an extra second finding that same result below. This doesn't seem to be very valuable to the advertiser, but I'm sure preventing me from getting distracted or persuaded by another result in that next second has some value.
FTX was perhaps uniquely bad at what it was actually doing. I would bet few institutions in the history of the world have ever misplaced 10B$ worth of value, for example. If Tether is somewhat more competent, then they can be far more reliable.
AGI is usually defined as anything a normal human could do. Examples of some things that GPT is currently lacking:

1) Understanding images and video

2) Learning and remembering things outside the 2048 token context window

3) Interacting with the environment (either through a computer, or in the real world)

4) Doing basic math (1662 + 239 = ?) and logic
Carmack seems to be simulating a vtuber AI watching TV and playing video games.

If anyone here is doing that too, I would recommend taking a quick look at Neuro-sama on Twitch. They're using RL to play OSU, Minecraft, and Pokemon, and voice input + video image analysis to react to Twitch streams and documentaries. While being watched by 6.5K people.

So now he will start selling books and courses how he did one off thing. Because he did it once he somehow thinks that now he has all the answers.

Fairly typical as I see same with traders or rentiers.

Either they know it is one time trick and they have to milk it out before it goes bad or they are really clueless and think they have all the answers.

I don’t know which one is worse but I lean on milking strategy to be worse because they become snake oil salesmen by choice.
SEEKING WORK | Europe | Remote preferred, Onsite possible

Hi, my name is Till.

I always like to help people, so if you need help with anything, let me know! :)

I usually work remotely, but I'm open to traveling to visit you. I can help get things running, especially when you're a young startup or launching a new project.

For example, maybe you have written a web app and need it deployed to the cloud. Or maybe you want to scale your product to meet the demand. Or maybe you want to launch your app in a new market, requiring a translation system and a new cloud deployment strategy. I can help make these things possible!

I most often write back-end services or cloud deployments.

Buzzwords: C#, F#, .Net, JavaScript/Typescript, Rust, Elm, C/C++, AWS (Cloudformation, CDK, S3, CloudFront, ECS, Lambda, RDS...), CI/CD, Rust, and Terraform

I've also worked with hiring and product planning. You can also reach out if you just want feedback on your app or code.

I'd love to hear from you!
The strongest military would have the capability of safely bringing down the problem. Watching it is no better than inaction.
The same as the difference between GPT3 and humans’ cognitive abilities.
In other news Google's search continues to get worse at finding what you want. Randomly dropping words from your query, even when you quote them and + and allintext, even when they claim they haven't ctrl+f shows the word ain't in the result.

They just want to get the easy money of you clicking the ad for $someco that they put in before the "i'm feeling lucky" spot where $someco should be.

Want to find something you know you read a couple of months ago and recall a lot of details about? Good luck. Not sure what the best search engine is for that but it seems it is no longer google.

Are these twin declines, service quality and revenue somehow causally related? If so in which direction?
Yes, it's absolutely mathematically correct, while being entirely uninteresting when taken in its strict mathematical meaning.

When a motivational speaker says something like "Billionaire X proves that it's possible to be a billionaire" that's mathematically correct, yet totally uninteresting. What people go there to hear about is methods for reproducibly becoming a billionaire or even just slightly increasing your odds of becoming a billionaire, and this article is just as lacking in that department as most motivational speeches.

Don't get me wrong. I think open source is a good thing. It seems like the author is working hard, doing good work, sharing it, and making a solid livelihood may be well-deserved for him. There's just nothing here that suggests a reproducible method.
Given the size of a coyote, wouldn't a semi-auto .223 be far more effective? Given that they're fast moving.
There is a comment in the article about having models watch TV and play video games, and he's talked about that before too in his Lex Friedman interview. Seems like his approach is to take existing model architectures, apply some tweaks and experimental ideas and then use datasets consisting of TV (self supervised learning maybe?) and classic video games (RL I guess?).

The video game part at least sounds like what Deepmind is already doing. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what he plans to do differently.

It seems to me like his expertise would be most valuable in optimizing model architectures for hardware capabilities to improve utilization and training efficiency. That will be important for AGI especially as the cost of training models skyrockets (both time and money). If I was a startup doing AI hardware like Cerebras or Graphcore I would definitely try to hire Carmack to help with my software stack. Though he doesn't seem interested in custom AI hardware.
> Let's say I would like to be able to train a robot to "Open the fridge and take out a beer". That would be something "cool" and guess possible with current technology. Especially after looking what boston dynamics can do...

Well yeah, but you realize that BD has at least 10s or more of engineers work on such their projects.

I think with your background I would opt for a pre-made platform (there are many, don't have experience with any of them) where you worry mostly about the software.

Maybe, just use your laptop webcam or a Raspberry Pi to do computer vision, somewhat related to your DS/ML experience.
Then don't do them within a day? Regardless of how you try to valorize it, it happened and it's extremely distasteful.
> In short, use of software to support your business is different from “Software R&E”.

Of course the cost of using software to support your business is already deductible as an ordinary business expense. Just to be clear, the discussion in this thread is about the deductibility of the cost of developing software.

> Use section 162 not 174.

The point of the discussion is that it's not actually clear whether this is still possible (for software development costs) after the TCJA changes went into effect in 2022. Please see my sibling comment here for further elaboration: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34634335. (In short, the TCJA rewrites Section 174 to imply that it now supercedes Section 162 for the purpose of software development costs.)

Either way, the situation does not appear to be as cut and dry as you seem to be suggesting.
BF recreated his house and the square in front of it in hl2. He added secret room to his house. We only ever played it 1vs1 but it's one of my top 5 FPS memories ! The fun came from walking in a setting I knew and recognizing it as "our" immediate surroundings. It was not about killing each other, though blowing up part of the furniture in the house was fun.

I didn't like playing with people who were too much focused on killing+owning/taunting other players though, it was (and still is) my limit.
Chernobyl is not unlivable. It's roughly comparable to Ramsar, Iran in radioactivity levels.
If I look around me, alot of netflixers are 2 to 4 families pooling together. Individually they pay €5. These are the people who will need to renegotiate in their pool. I'd say this is the biggest group of Netflix users.

Combine that with europe getting less content than the US, with bad or no subtitles, and the quality of the content going down the last few years. People are discussing cancelling already. Forcing these people to decide now can't end well for Netflix. And if people around you cancel without much hassle, why wouldn't you?
A first step would be to make inductive inferences from first principles. Current GPT models struggle with basic math. If you tell it "sorry you are wrong" it will regurgitate back the incorrect answer you gave. The language model is dumb enough that no amount of string escaping will prevent it from dumping its prompt.

The biggest problem right now is online information. We still don't have a good way to teach it new information aside from single epoch training or prompt engineering. If we want a model to constantly learn and update itself, then we need a robust way of information retrieval and storage, possibly either through knowledge graphs or child network modules. (Are neural Turing machines still a thing? What happened to capsules?)

I couldn't figure out from the video at what stage and how is the liquid and the carbonation placed inside. I assume it must be just before putting the lid on, but I don't see how the lid is put on if the contents are generating outward pressure.
Great initiative, but if it's sampling only the few seconds previews from the songs, then I doubt it will be useful. Also, a language filter is essential for both training the model and listing the results. I searched for a few Hindi language songs that I know of, and it listed only English, Chinese and Spanish songs as related ones - which is good to explore other music, but at times I'd just want to be in my native language zone and any other language would exercise my brain more than it'd relax it.
Well, heating up the barrel affects accuracy, and again, I'm judging semi-auto for hunting red deer in the New Zealand bush, a very particular use.

So after decades of so called reforms & IP theft, the best thing the CCP can do is to fly some ballon over the US when the US is building the B-21? Sounds like a stone age economy to me.
