I don’t think true intelligence is propositional/logic based. I also think the observable universe is inherently limited by our perceptual framework, and there will always be something outside it.

Imagine an amoeba that can only detect light and dark. Its observable universe exists on a simple gradient. But the cells that are used in its perceptual system cannot be described on a gradient. I think that probably scales up indefinitely.

We confuse what we see for all that exists because of our recent history and scientific advances. The triumph of science comes from focusing solely on what we can see and reason about and improving our vision because thats what we have control over, but it doesn’t mean we see everything. I think true intelligence originates from something we can’t see. You can call it a soul, or call it a scaled up amoeba cell, but I personally think the origin of true intelligence and qualia is from some weird very very old evolutionarily created thing we can’t see (and I think other animals have similar invisible perceptual machinery somewhere, I don’t think it’s just a human thing).

I suspect it means that central banks will issue their own digital currencies to enforce negative interest rates. That will break the lower bound and allow economic stimulation from deflationary conditions.
At that point you would need to compete on service and price. They'll also get the first mover lock in advantage. Once a large company deploys your product to 5000 devs you are pretty much in for life. /me waves to jira.

What you’re missing is that factories were built in Ukraine as a part of reconstruction after WW2, but engineers were mostly Russian, relocated from Russia.

These days pretty much all Ukrainian space industry is dead, and it was dead even before war. Most competent people left for Russia or USA. Yes, they still provided some components just because it was cheaper to build them in the original factory, but in a last few years Russia just replaced all Ukraine components. Antares had Ukrainian fuel tanks I believe, but I doubt it’ll last long.
i used to do some work for the french-german youth office where french and german students would meet over activities and translated discussions during a week; since the office had too much money there would sometimes be further partner countries invited. so here we were once, a french-german team trying to solve a conflict between 1990-born hungarians and romanians “but you don’t understand” one told me, “we were at war against each other up until 90 years ago”

We don't have any rigorous benchmarks against Copilot, but we're working on building an evaluation framework to do so. We've played a bunch with traditional academic metrics for codegen (e.g. pass @ k) and found they don't correlate super well with real-world performance. Also, want to mention that we are not competing directly with Copilot. A benchmark against Copilot is useful as we further improve our product, but our main value add here is not that we perform better than Copilot, but rather that we serve a customer segment that can't use Copilot. Would love to hear any thoughts you have.

For training, we start with a capable open-source base model, augment it with a bunch of permissively-licensed repos, and then fine-tune on the customer codebase.

We currently support C/C++, Go, Gosu, Java, Javascript, Python, Ruby, and Typescript, but we're continuously adding new languages.

I shudder to think about that metric now as I’m sure its even worse.

The most interesting bit of this letter to me is this one:

"Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely.

"The bank run that led to SVB’s collapse was allegedly started by tech tycoon and Republican political donor Peter Thiel.

After SVB’s collapse, journalists and critics have shifted their attention to Thiel, accusing him of pressuring companies to stop funding the bank. It is believed that his actions were the first to ignite the bank run, which prompted California regulators to step in."

Future language models will build knowledge graphs for us with little expense, and for most applications that are not directly at the human interface level, a vectorized knowledge graph will be more useful than a blob of text.
> The manufacturer was trying to get out of a warranty claim, hoping the customer was naive enough to believe their story

To be fair, I worked in the service industry for many years (as a controls technician), and I had many co-workers who intentionally set up long cons like this to stay busy. They would come up with equally outlandish reasons for why they needed to keep going back and upper management was mostly clueless as to how ridiculous they were.

Larger voting blocs want it. Finland has a small presence in Euparl. So even if it is not the mandatory law yet, what they said is true - Europe has been incrementally classifying gig workers as employees and it is soon about to make it mandatory.

I love Radiolab as entertainment podcasting, but it's worth knowing that they're surface-skimming their topics and frequently make meaningful errors on the details.

I recall vaguely a story they did about how it was hard to walk straight while blindfolded and how weird that was, and I immediately flashed back to a college professor demonstrating this in a controls theory class... But as a proof of how inaccuracy mounts in an open-loop control system, because that's actually entirely expected (the odds random error would sum consistently to zero is what would be weird and unexpected).
True story: when I was in college I was at a crosswalk waiting for a walk signal, and two people walked up. One of them started pressing the walk button furiously, and she said, "It won't change unless you press it a bunch of times really fast." When the walk signal lit up about ten seconds later she said, "See?"

Yeah I had read that a good number of anti-war people had gone there both before and after mobilisation. In fact I was watching a video by the youtuber "nfkrz" (from Chelyabinsk, left after the invasion and now lives in Tbilisi) who made a really interesting point. You can still travel to the EU if you're a Russian passport holder, however you do still need to get a visa from the destination country's embassy inside Russia. So if you wanted no part in the war and made it across the border to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia or Armenia or wherever you are kinda stuck, you can't travel onwards to (say) Germany because that would mean returning to Russia and risking trouble especially if you were supposed to be mobilised. Meanwhile if you remained (whether you were quietly against it, ambivalent or super pro-Z) you don't necessarily have that barrier[0]

Seems like a bit of a no-brainer to me - we should just allow Russians apply for EU/EEC country's visas outside Russia. If someone wants to not take part in a war, we should be making that easier for them as much as possible not harder or more dangerous :-/

We don't think this guarantee is only useful to bad actors, in the same way that end-to-end encryption has turned out to be useful even if you're not doing something illegal.

The businesses using Blyss want to perform tasks (like scanning for breached credentials) without seeing sensitive customer data. Even the US government's civilian cybersecurity agency, CISA, recommends that you use end-to-end encrypted solutions for credential vaults (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa... Blyss is an added layer for these services, protecting even access metadata.

While of course true for many reasons (including facilitating the existence of ransomware while providing literally no other offsetting value) that's not why the bank was shuttered. It was shuttered for the same reason SVB and Silvergate were closed. They had long-duration assets but needed capital now to facilitate withdrawals, which they had a lot of because of the crypto downturn. It was their lack of diversification and failure to adequately manage maturity risk. Which Barney is in part to blame. So of course the fingers are pointed in all directions, especially the gubmint.

So here's the thing. Who is doing better at this than Meta? Who could they buy? Regulation is a secondary issue.

At this point, the Quests are pretty good gaming machines. Its the software that's lacking. MMAAAN has traditionally struggled with content creation. It took a long time for the streaming studios to get any decent shows. Apple, Google, Netflix and Amazon don't really have a good game portfolio to this day.

They could possibly buy or spin up a bunch of game studios to crank out content but on the hardware side I think they actually are best in class here.
Prop 22 was a garbage giveaway to Uber/Lyft passed at the height of Covid when a whole bunch of people had zero work except for Uber/Lyft.

Uber/Lyft basically blackmailed everybody threatening to pull out of the state, spent a hideous amnount of money on propaganda, and even sent text messages and emails to Uber/Lyft users threatening to pull out (which Uber/Lyft should have been fined viciously for).

AB5 was shit. Prop 22 was shittier.

If you're looking for ways to differentiate a heat pump product ... I have a 55k btu heat pump (bosch bova60) and it is loud (my neighbor, who is ~15-20ft away is complaining that it wakes him up at night) - as a result, I've been using too much backup heat (at temperatures when the heat pump would be perfectly sufficient). I would happily pay for a super-quiet outdoor unit.

the thermostat integration wasn't hard. and the bosch unit has a blower, so the "can it go into a central ducted system?" question was also easy.

That's a bit like saying your computer's shutdown sequence "doesn't work" because it prioritizes ending processes gracefully before actually powering off the computer.
A distinction without a difference, because "panics" and "exceptions" are literally the same code under the hood of the compiler and standard library.

Fragile run-time behavior and unmaintainable code is because programming is hard and cruft accumulates in the face of difficult requirements.

Renaming a thing that traumatized you in the past won't make the cause of the trauma go away.
That's a leap. The door will close in seconds anyway. The button is locked out until the minimum time has elapsed. The window between those two times is the only place the button could work. Is it 1 second? 2 seconds?

So the door close button, by regulation, can do little or nothing

I think we're mostly in agreement!

You're right, it's not possible to select from this all students which has cryptography as a class. No more than if we did concat('cryptography', ',', 'databases').
The golden rule doesn't apply here. Criminals are actively using cryptocurrencies to commit many crimes including tax fraud, money laundering, and ransomware. That harms everyone, at least indirectly, even if we don't use cryptocurrencies ourselves. So tight legal controls are appropriate here.

To draw an analogy, I support the individual right to keep and bear arms. But I don't want criminals to have access to weapons, and we can impose some reasonable rules to prevent that.

What did you use as the recovery rate?

Weird thing about the recovery rate is that everyone I've asked says the same thing, and I've traded CDS: the recovery rate is 40%. It's a bit of a free variable in that equation, and it matters. Trouble is how on earth do you estimate it? But random people I've met in the business will just say 40%, for every issuer, somehow.
