That’s about the worst possible kickback scheme I can think of. Deposits drive so little of a bank’s profit that you would have to be the dumbest grifter in the world to setup such an expensive referral program with only the hope of stock appreciation.
Like others pointed out, it's just manufacturing consent.

The stated aim on the mainland side is reunification. Anyone with two brain cells would know that bombing a place to shit and then try to run it is going to be hell. See Iraq.

Taiwan knows that if they go for de jure independence, then that will leave the mainland with no choice but military action.

US knows that this is the juiciest way to do a Bait and Bleed (using Mearsheimer's terms), and will do whatever it takes to drum up the possibility while not directly engaging in an armed conflict with China.

This is just standard operating procedures when you have more than hegemons in the world.
The best people I've worked with stayed in the same role for 20+ years without any promotion. They did great work, knew exactly what to do and didn't have to play the politics game to get some favorable review for promotion. I wish more companies would encourage that. Even in tech, the world doesn't change as quickly as we sometimes think.
Yes! Professor Fluet was probably the most passionate professor I had. The man has three kids, a full time job as a professor at the university, and still works on MLton, it's incredible.

During our code gen lectures, he had told us that MLtons original (not sure if it's still the default) backend generated C and shipped it over to a C compiler to do the dirty work. I know they have an official x86 backend now too though.

I wish I had resource recommendations for what you're looking for (because it is a super interesting topic), but hopefully MLton can serve as a great resource . PolyML may also be a good resource - not sure though.
Similarly on how people have fine tuned SD on Midjourney.
I'm extremely familiar with both Plotly Dash and Streamlit, two frameworks which accomplish the same thing. How does this compare?

Please please tell me you're aware of those two and didn't build this unaware of those options.

Background:
I was commissioned by a previous employer to fork Plotly Dash and build a drag and drop BI tool with it.
A good skill execs have is to negotiate extremely lucrative severance terms and have it written in their employment agreements.

"As part of the Year of Efficiency, we’re focusing on returning to a more optimal ratio of engineers to other roles."

I found this interesting, I wonder what the optimal ratio is. If the ratio is too high then eng is going to be hit hard, if it is too low then other roles are going to be hit hard.
This is a huge factor! In my experience having a whole bunch of stock can be a really powerful anchor to keep you in place at your job even if you're not 100% happy.

If the stock tanks that vaporizes really quickly.
And why is this any different other than from some naive puritanical point of view?

Developing new versions and new games will take as much money and probably more than the initial versions.
I wouldn't count on it. However, I definitely think Facebook's remaining managers are scrambling to control this LLaMa leak though. They don't want the liability or responsibility of managing this project, and now everyone and their mother wants to play with it. Battling spam can largely be managed through the usual methods, but fighting a leaked model is much harder.
Malls are already designed in a labyrinthine way so you pass by as many stores as possible.

Self driving cars might have set destinations that are cheaper to visit, or have free rides that are ad-supported, or recommend stops along your route.
It's worth considering that you're not really talking about their own self-interest. You're talking about what you think they should want.

For example, anyone who likes the non-employee status of Uber driving will vote against it. Anyone who wants to be an employee is voting for lower wages, although higher benefits. They may prefer that, but not everyone does.
Seems nice, but also very basic. From what i've seen in the examples, the components lack any deeper interaction-ability. Tables seems to lack editing, or any more complex filtering. There is no tree-component (heck, why are all those framework lacking trees?) or any kind of drag n'drop-support. And so on... So seems to be more for creating basic forms and documents, not a state-of-the-art web app.
What an incredible amount of wasted effort in hiring that many people to then firing them 2-3 years later.
In your opinion, what is the best code search in the industry so far ? Sourcegraph? Mergestat ?
>AI alignment people are the group who believe “responsibly” means, centrally, bringing AGI to existence as fast as possible, and, critically, under the tight, opaque, authoritarian control of a narrow group of people

Hey, let's be fair now, a lot of them also believe that we just need a world government that tightly controls GPU use.

Sarcasm aside, the alignment crowd definitely does not have a consensus about the desirability about creating AGI asap. Yudkowsky is clearly horrified by OpenAI.

At a company I worked for I told the incoming manager that he would have to remove the entire management team he had inherited.

Needless to say that didn't go over well.

A year later they were all gone. And him as well.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>They've had a year of time to go somewhere else and make way more money - most of them probably took that unless Meta gave them a gigantic bonus to keep them whole.

But other FAANGS are not hiring. So where it's somewhere unless they planned to start their own businesses?
I sincerely hope this new thesis you've unleashed on the world is called the DeathArrow in business schools across the world.
I like it. The chat.openai.com frontend is very slow and frequently breaks, so I would consider using this.
Have you considered adding different tts providers? It doesn't get better than elevenlabs right now, but they are also much more expensive than for example the azure neural voices.
Yes. For most other apps I wouldn't do this, but here the author claims that it holds the keys locally within the browser.

Revisiting the Classics: Jensen’s Inequality
The "shoggoth with a smiley face" metaphor for LLMs has gained traction far beyond Yudkowsky's bubble. It even has a KYM article now: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shoggoth-with-smiley-face-art...
WG21 (the "C++ Committee") is under JTC1 the Joint Technical Committee ("joint" between ISO and IEC), now, you might know of a few other famous products of the Joint Technical Committee's sub and sub-sub committees, including JPEG (that's the Joint Photographic Experts Group getting a shout out in the name of the standard) and MPEG. Those standards both required patented "inventions" to implement in full. The patents were held by contributors...

In the case of MPEG the result is MPEG LA, a US company which you need to pay to implement certain important standards. In the case of JPEG the result was a little different, since only the improved Arithmetic Coding of JPEG was patented, people just don't implement the actual standard, they cut out the patented part, so all the world's JPEGs (well, mostly JFIF files, which are slightly different but we call them "JPEGs" anyway) are a little bigger than they need to be for no reason except patents.

So no, I don't buy that "ISO is also very averse of patents" in a sense that would restrict this unless you can show that's a new stance.
And no one is saying that. It's "if you work enough hours that you're effectively part or full time then you get benefits" which is how lots of employer arrangements work now. One of my friends is a therapist and their arrangement is have a case-load of more than 30 hours get benefits.
Because they don't have the kind of money to do that.

But they never cared about windows and Xbox players when the game stakes were low enough for them to play the exclusive game.
I doubt that's true, they just talk about it more because everything else is kind of a trade secret.

That's all of social media. I don't like what's happening there but I also don't see how Facebook engineers can change that. Closing Instagram just drives more people to TikTok which is arguably worse.
> Their entire delivery fleet is composed of third world immigrants who are willing to work for peanuts for no benefits.

It's similar in neighboring Estonia. However the reasons are more than just willingness to work for peanuts. These people are also very willing to break the law.

A lot of the workers are in the country with either tourist or student visas and aren't allowed to work. These delivery companies couldn't even legally hire them. However the way the law works, in the case of contractors, it is the contractor's responsibility to make sure they follow the law. A lot of these people don't even understand that. They just sign up on their phone and get money. What law?

Similar case with taxation. Employers need to pay a lot of taxes per employee. With contractors that requirement is shifted. All the taxes are now the contractor's duty. The delivery contractors, who are not paid a lot in the first place, aren't exactly going out of their way to give away half their earnings. This got to be such a big problem that the government actually had to pass a new law, which came into effect January 2023. At the end of the year, all these delivery companies will need to supply the tax office a full report with how much money they paid each contractor and the contractor's info. Then the tax office can see if the accurate taxes are being paid or not.
I started working full time on a game in Jan 2021, minus vacation I have probably spent a 1 year on it. I also have a side hobby job, doing some data science consulting.

I started with big ambitions the initial inspiration was Battle Brothers, Underrail, Jeff Vogel's old Exile RPGs and Caves of Qud (never played but seen lots of talks and material on it). Now it's evolved (devolved?) into a procedural simulation game of sorts. I wrote lore and world building. I want to do something deep and engaging that has high replay value - even with shabby graphics for years and years and something that I can continue to add content over time and expand the depth and scope of.

A big decision at the beginning was to build using C++ from scratch and not use an existing engine. So really I would say up about to the 10 months mark was just me figuring out application and software development - I come from an analytics background so in the beginning it was basic baby steps - like wrapping my head around doing everything in a giant infinite while loop, understanding how to manage memory, profile to figure out where frame rate is slowing down...not so much touching any content.

The hardest part was and is the architecture, how to add components, assets and generally organize the code so it doesn't become spaghetti as the game complexity grows - I started using a ECS early on but even still, I refactor the code structure a few times already and have simply come to accept some degree of chaos is inevitable. Next to that the UI is completely vectorized and drawn in-game so as to scale to any resolution and that has been a huge pain in the ass. There is a surprising amount of complexity in UI and I am devoting a lot of attention to it.

So now after 12 months I am finally close to the point of dedicating myself to mostly content creation and working on the game as opposed to the engine. After that I probably have to make a decision on whether to continue full time or devote some time to making some money elsewhere.
Ah, but the joke's on them, cause the average Joe doesn't read anymore.
I wish I'd known Microsoft owned Bethesda, I wouldn't have tried out Fallout 4 this year at all. Is there any decent game Microsoft doesn't own the company of? At least No Man's Sky isn't owned by them. I dumped Minecraft after Microsoft bought them.

Less frequent than that and people start forgetting the gripes and inconveniences they need help with.

Managers are supposed to work on the system, at least in theory. 1on1’s are for the manager like server metrics are for the SRE. An early warning system of future problems. Ideally you can fix issues before the problem blows up into an alarm.

Long term probably 2 things will happen. Though obviously no one can predict the future.

1. Public cryptocurrencies will remain there as a sort of niche investment (betting?) vehicle. Something like "VWOB - Emerging Markets Government Bond ETF". Did you know about that one? Neither did I.

2. Private permissioned blockchains will be used in specific niches. Think Corda and some finance applications, whatever the commodities thing is called, I forgot its name.

But the long tail of Bladogelitecoin and the likes will go poof once line stops going up.
They will take lower salaries then.
most of these knowledge graph papers seems to be about linking shallow content, likes citations etc,

with all these strides in AI, GPT, etc, does anyone know of papers about extracting into graph or other form of knowledge representations deeper semantics ?

for example instead extracting what the paper is about, how it relates to other papers, nodes and edges linking to field specific terms/concepts mentioned, translation of paper specific terminology to commonly agreed terminology, why it's citing said references (is it an example of use of a technique ? a proof for a claim ? something that's being refuted, etc ..), where in the text it's being used. and other kinds of "deeper meaning".

I've glanced at some papers that seemed to do something remotely close to this but it was restricted to doing NER for only medical/biology terms.
Google, Meta Staff Do 'Fake Work', Says VC Keith Rabois
Sure. I see your perspective. Let me unpack a bit.

As I mentioned, IMO 'good enough' occurred late 1960's; Audio quality is the context surrounding that statement.

I have multiple systems. Generally speaking I have them matched by generation.

I have a pair of Dynaco A25s being run by a Quad 33 & 303. All of them made in 1969.

To your point, I have upgraded the passive in the A25s with more modern components. They now sound better. But before the upgrade, to an average person, they were already way good enough.

This old system gets the most unprompted compliments of any of the systems in my home.

Can I make a GaN based integrated amplifier with a state-of-the-art DAC and wireless inputs? The size of a deck of cards!? Sure! Smaller? We do that! But the real-world in-room 'normal' user/use case will have about the same experience as the system from 1969.

An end-to-end analog system when done 'properly' will generally sound better. You sacrifice cost, space, and energy consumption for that privilege. You can get 95%+ of the performance for 10% of the sacrifice if you choose components carefully.

We're currently way past the point where the devices or efficiencies are having a big impact on the intended experience. Unless you're in the 0.001% of people who have a dedicated listening room, the hum from the compressor in your refrigerator in the next room is louder than any distortion on a properly implemented system.

Yes, room treatments are very important, but with all the cheap signal processing tools - a lot of which was indirectly funded by the voice assistant boom - we have gotten very good at compensating for that as well.

Now we have neural network ICs that are insane at environmental noise cancellation and can run years on a small battery.

But you still want to listen to your stereo music, probably from a streaming service, or maybe your surround sound movie.

The content side is the bottleneck on any big innovation in the space. As long as the focus remains on the sonic nuances of Hotel California, we will be repackaging as opposed to innovating on a sonic experience.
So humans are going to enter bullet points, and the AI will generate prose. Then the human on the other end will use an AI to extract bullet points from the prose.

I hope we realize how insanely stupid this is soon.
Will my self-driving car

I guess that depends if it's _your_ self-driving car or Google/Uber/Teslas self-driving car that they're letting you use. It might even be so that the physical car is yours, but the self-driving software is licensed and controlled by a third party.
Good points. But there might be some start-ups tempting them with pre-IPO stock or they can start their own business.

I wish that were true but Oracle, Cisco, PayPal etc all seem to have succeeded in pivoting to more extractive business models over growth. At least in terms of earnings.
It’s something along the lines of accusing the Romans of violating the Geneva Conventions. Out of time. Reporting what kinds of things likely happened is not just advisable but necessary. Applying modern terms and standards by just saying “atrocity” doesn’t fit. Also the historical context that everyone did it is important.
It's a good reminder that you a nothing for the corporation, a nuisance, a cost, a necessary evil.

The moment they find a way to replace you and cut costs they will.

This means, don't bother working more than you have to, after all you are not working towards your own private jet, but you are building wealth of people who don't have your best interest in mind.
What you say holds true. Of course the US nationals have to be prioritized.

But the reality is they already are. Hiring someone on H1B results in lawyer fees and visa fees. Every company is already incentivized to hire domestically.

Which I do agree is 100% fair. However how is extending the grace period beyond 60 days harming anyone?

Sorry, don't mean to be rude but this is the most useless discussion I've seen here.

I think it's fairly easy to understand (but you clearly hate the technology for some reason). The proof of ownership would be in the blockchain. NFT X represents X property, the address owning that NFT would technically own that NFT.

Also NFTs may also have descriptive data on them, so technically you could have a description marking that NFT as X property.

It's very much feasable, but from what I'm reading from you, you just hate the technology for the sake of it. Reminds me of Apple haters.

I get what you're saying here and agree, but there is no world in which openai exists as a continuing concern without making their product overly PC. Remember that their model was trained on a broad swath of the Internet, warts and all. They can either spend the effort making it aligned with the current thing up front, or they can rush to do it after the model outputs something spicy and they have to deal with the resulting PR shitstorm, outrage baiting hit pieces, and otherwise distractions.
