I know someone did a detailed analysis on this, but you can trivially see that something is wrong by looking closely at the 2nd to last photo [0]. The photo clearly shows multiple phones with the exact same image on the screen, i.e., they are pixel perfect copies. While I don't think the article is implausible, the 2nd to last image is certainly photoshopped.

Nope. SQLite is already available in the same process and using the same file system as your server. In some cases (ex Python) without adding any new dependencies. It's downright silly to try to think of a way to make it easier.

Here's your easy cheap and lightweight relational datastore API:

import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect("db.sqlite3")
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM products LIMIT 25")
print(cur.fetchall())
I don’t like this question because everyone I’ve met seems to considers themselves a generalist.

Is a generalist someone that’s competent in sales, marketing and has technical skills? Or someone that codes in a couple languages? Or maybe someone that’s worked in a couple different labs over their career?

Until everyone agrees on the definition, we’re left with a bunch of empty platitudes.
But they’re using the other well-established meaning of durability a la how AWS and others describe their storage platforms. It’s pretty much the same thing but taken at whole system level. On that level an ACID database is as durable as the underlying storage medium which is sadly not very durable.
Honestly, I think sentience is a sliding scale that everything is on, even if micro microscopically. I think it depends upon personal spiritual beliefs and philosophy.

To me, this would be more sentient than previous models by a fair margin, but is it above the general population mean for what they'd consider "sentient" to be? A magnitude below or above? Two?

I don't know. There's obviously more to the convo and I think AGI still has some time on the clock. The clock is moving though, I think. :'( / :')
So, actually, I just had a good long talk with ChatGPT about how it works internally. Turns out that while it doesn't remember the concatenated sequence of prompts and response, GPT-3 does maintain a sort of impression or representation of the entire conversation - the conversation context. Also, turns out that there's about a dozen predefined special tokens that can be used to control how the model considers or ignores the conversation context when responding to a prompt. There's also some internal use only special tokens that it can accidentally emit, and if you aren't careful in specifying how it should print the tokens there's an internal token that'll cause it to basically hard reset the conversation context.

Anyway, the point is that at least the Default (paid) ChatGPT model and probably the GPT-3 model does have a representation of the conversation which it can and does reference. You can ask it to explain how and when it considers or ignores the context and how to control that.

(Yes, I understand that it's not describing its own architecture, but regurgitating the average of all of the papers on GPT and weighting the ones that refer to ChatGPT higher due to the fine-tuning effect.)
Phones can do most of the things you listed.

So a "desktop PC" isn't about its feature set or where you might put it, instead it is a form factor.

DigitalOcean hasn't been price-competitive in the VPS and baremetal server market in which there are quite literally hundreds if not thousands of players, most of whom offer better value than DO.

DO is in a weird place - not as popular or feature-rich as the big clouds, but also not price-efficient enough to compete in the extremely price-sensitive VPS and baremetal market. I wonder what kind of startup decides on DO as their infra provider of choice.

Elon Musk said they'd support 3rd party cars by late 2022. 2023 is after 2022. We're already in this future state of "why wouldn't they support third party cars?"

So yeah, why wouldn't they? Why don't they today? It's the same question and it's the same answer.
Right now being a specialist seems to be the way, the market is flooded with full stack generalists.

SQLite has commands to rename columns (this is somewhat new). Which other migration is not supported without new table/copy/drop old table process?

Also, MySQL can't run a migration on a FK-constrant table without downtime. To do this you need an online schema migration tool which generally requires the absence of foreign keys.
Getting my balloon slammed with a missile wouldn't be my concern, it'd be sad that the balloon was destroyed before it's time but it was released to eventually crash. It's getting a warrant sent to me or getting a bill for a missile that would concern me.

And there's no real indication this balloon didn't follow the rules, neither of us know what Canada's rules are.
I don't think it's the bad actors winning over the algorithm. It's the algorithm forgetting what the internet was actually about.

There was a major search update a few years ago that emphasized "authority". If your website was considered more reputable or an established brand, you ranked higher.

This is completely against the ethos of the internet. The internet was always about new ways to find and organize information. On the internet, CNN has no greater reputation than some random blog. Yet, if you were a mainstream brand, Google would deem you to be more authoritative than some internet-only website.

You can see this most clearly in medical queries. WebM and MayoClinic top the results, even though they're filled with generic fluff. Internet-only websites and forums dedicated to a specific illness rarely get on the front page, even though they have superior information.
I think the cleaner thing would have been doing event sourcing utilizing OTP and rendered to local SQLite instances.

> In the public's mind one goes to an elite institution for access to elite education

This is one area in which the public’s mind is (for the most part) very, very wrong.

While there are certainly some excellent courses at elite schools, the general quality of instruction is quite low. Professors are not rewarded for good instruction and are not punished for relatively poor instruction. Class-oriented work takes time away from research work, and that’s the stuff that counts.

For students, elite schools offer the following (imho):

- incredible access to research resources

- access to top tier work and research opportunities during school and after graduating

- access to nationally
and internationally powerful social networks

- a highly motivated peer group who often (re)define how high the high bar can be set

Note that some (perhaps many or most) students don’t avail themselves of any of these unique offerings, but some certainly do.

> rather than google search.

It's important to remember that Google search also returns false results for all kinds of searches and that's it's been getting slowly worse for years.

Recently I searched Google for "bamboo sign" because I was designing a 3d model building and I wanted a placeholder texture for the sign.

What I got was loads of results for "bamboo spine" which apparently is a skeletal disorder of some kind. Putting "sign" in quotes or the entire "bamboo sign" in quotes didn't make any difference, Google had decided I was looking for information about spines and that was it.

I switched over to duckduckgo and got the results I wanted immediately (Duckduckgo, of course, is bad at loads of other things that Google would do better at).

Before people dismiss chat based search for sometimes being incorrect, I think we need a comprehensive test: ask both Google search and the new Bing Chat search a few hundred simple questions on a broad range of topics and see which gives more incorrect answers.

Anything you need another company's permission to access doesn't belong to you. Google could lock you out of your own email at any point. Any important messages you've sent or received over the years can be taken from you and you could be left with no means at all to get them back. Having a local copy of your correspondence is great for piece of mind.

Because thunderbird stores messages in MBOX format your messages can be read by anything that can handle text files and you can use tools like grep to search through your messages very quickly from the command line. If you get an address with a new email provider having a copy of all your messages on your hard drive means that you can easily move them to the new account.

IR and semi active radar guided? As in not really designed to shoot down baloons. The baloon hardly has an IR signature. I'd say it's a pretty good missile if it did the job with 50% failure rate despite being designed for something else.

Baloons and small drones should be downed with lasers. Like cut in half or something like that.

Its absurd to claim that nothing was done to stop it from happening, if that was the case then thing would have been much worse. It was brought under control as effectively as it is possible when the riots are happening at communal level.

Have you not seen riots happen in London few years ago, or the black lives matter, or so many others in the past. To use you own argument, why did they not stop it immediately? Because it takes some time and effort to control it when large populations are involved.

And nobody is asking to cover all the history, Nuance can be covered with small hints and by giving little bit of background. Otherwise People who dont know India's history only see what they see in the documentary and go on making up their mind.

I think people dramatically overestimate the value of CMU social connections. The value of a CMU Comp Sci degree is that you've proven (to yourself and everyone else) that you can get one. The program is essentially one "weeder" course after another to identify the people who don't belong (21-127 Concepts of Mathematics, 15-251 Great Theoretical Ideas of Computer Science, 15-213 Introduction to Compute Systems, 15-410 Operating Systems, 15-451 Design and Analysis of Algorithms). Every course is the "hard" version of ever other course (e.g. "Welcome to Operating Systems, you'll be writing a kernel that runs on an X86_64 processor. Your hint is 'pusha/popa.' Go."). While it was horrifying the whole way through, I think that it built a resiliency in me that wouldn't exist otherwise. It's incredibly hard to replicate that through online classes.
Replicating writes to all nodes does not sound scalable. Is it?
Just to piggy back on this. The typesetting seems off kindle and other ebook platforms. Anyone seeing this?
But they might start with different axioms (e.g. non-euclidean), exploring in different directions, and perhaps discover truths new to us that affect our own mathematics.

By definition, this is hard to imagine; I mean, try to imagine a mathematics that isn't even based on numbers...!
Usual response to that is that there's a skew in Clojure related data as its community consists of mostly experienced devs.

I know it's anecdotal evidence but I'm doing Java right now because I couldn't find a Clojure job that pays nearly the same (and I already used Clojure for 5 years in production environment).
I always find it disappointing when people equate CS to programming. In my view, programming is a at most a means to an end in CS. A tool that we use to show that something is possible, to implement a proof of concept. By looking at the code we can understand in a formally defined language how certain systems work. It is definitely an important tool in CS, and a practical skill that CS students can use in their professional life after graduation. But I become rather sad when I see three Python programming courses being put together and people call it a CS curriculum.
If you have any kind of serious gut issues (or salt wasting conditions or other reason you need more salt than average), it's worth avoiding table salt which contains anti-caking additives. Get sea salt, kosher salt or canning and pickling salt instead.

Salt is a major component of mucus and the gut is lined with mucus. (For that matter, so is the respiratory tract.)

You also run a company which offers kubernetes self hosting as a business, which is quite the bias.

Anyways, the question isn't whether client-server databases scale, it's whether SQLite doesn't scale. What were the database size, resource constraints, architecture for the multi-billion $ company? How did this scale over tiem? Do you have any reason to believe that a SQLite architecture couldn't scale to support the service offerings you saw?
Maybe once we develop a large enough library of prompts then we can either build a prompt selection prompt or find a common pattern in successful prompts that might allow a prompt generating prompt.
Seems like the type of issue which would normally be solved with politics. If it happens enough to “bubble up” the bureaucracy, then diplomats could request a change in another countries behavior.

botsplaning as a service
On an Ice Lake GCE instance, Highway's vqsort was 40% faster when sorting uint64s. vqsort also doesn't require avx512, and supports a wider array of types (including 128-bit integers and 64-bit k/v pairs), so it's more useful IMO. It's a much heavier weight dependency though.

I had to use a cloud instance for testing since I don't have an avx512-capable personal machine.

I didn't offer it, but I don't see anything dismissive about it. It looked like a genuine effort to help someone mitigate one of the downsides of an EV (which was clearly something that had some upsides for them, otherwise why would they have bought one in the first place).

> Another challenge is NASA's famous bureaucracy

For awhile, I was working at NASA on an open source project. I had idealized NASA based on movies, and thought it was the kind of place where one could be bold with coming up with novel solutions to hard problems. I was naïve enough to think that if I had good solutions I could ignore the bureaucracy. I was extremely productive and often speaking up and contributing confidently in meetings. I ruffled feathers, and thought it was fine as long as my work was good. Around a year in, a middle manager started to micromanage who I was allowed to communicate with. I recall a point when I asked a superior, who had a cubicle next to mine, and who I had a positive relationship with up to that point, how his weekend was. He didn't respond and later that day the manager called me into the office and reprimanded me literally to the point of tears, for "going outside the chain of command". Eventually, despite being the most productive member of our open source team, in terms of open issues resolved, new features shipped, and tech debt paid off, I got fired for "low performance".

The lesson I took away is that I shouldn't work for bureaucratic organizations like NASA.

It was the same kind of thing, with Yan LeCunn and facebook talking about how great their new AI system is and how useful it will be to researchers, only it produced lies and nonsense abound.

Strange that they would name it "Galactica". The battlestar Galactica ship famously didn't even have networked computer systems, much less AI, since they had already seen what happens when computers become too intelligent. Pretty soon, they develop a new religion and try to nuke their creators out of existence.
I wonder what Intel's plan is for the future here. Will a future efficiency core support AVX-512? Or will intel just abandon it on consumer in favor of a variable-length simd instruction set?
