> A Pi is just a credit card sized ARM computer

Well, not just a "ARM computer", a Arm 32-bit computer.

If you're stuck with the "Raspberry Pi 1", "Raspberry Pi 2" and "Raspberry Pi Zero", you are really stuck with a 32 bit computer.

Even assuming you have a arm64 enabled Raspberry Pi, you need to use the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS, or you're stuck in a 32-bit userland.

Even assuming you have Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit), you now are using a experimental version of Raspberry Pi OS, so expect issues.

> there is no magic, it can run many of the same OSes as any other desktop or laptop

There is actually a lot of magic involved, specifically, GPU blobs required for booting, and a patched (and old) kernel. Just try loading any other OS that doesn't specifically bundle those patches and a newer kernel and the rough spots get you pretty fast.

> it can run the exact same apps and software in many cases

The same apps and software, possibly.

Recent versions of said apps and software - unlikely.

It defaults to safe and old Debian versions of apps and software.
Not sure if it's just me behind a draconian firewall but Neo-Grotesque doesn't load Inter for me, even though it's on Google Fonts. Why not download it from there?

I believe you're correct, but for possibly the wrong reasons. I believe that AI will be able to simulate a lot (if not most) humanlike action in the near future. The particular problem here is they will also simulate far more non-humanlike intelligence making the alignment issue an even larger problem than it already is.
Californian, Jarlsberg is more expensive than the cheapest cheddars, but nothing that prices you out of buying it if you like it.
> Do you have any references to back this up?

The reference is the GPT-4 release paper. It's getting progressively better at things that require intelligence, like writing code and doing unseen exams across various fields that humans find difficult. The generality and depth of intelligence is progressively improving.

> unprompted, with intent

Neither of these are necessary for AGI. Intelligence doesn't require intent. Intelligence doesn't require something to be "unprompted" (which human intelligence isn't, either, our brain is being constantly prompted by our external senses).

Do you have any more insight as to how that might work? I'm not really grokking it, I work in networking and wonder if this is going to be a big patching effort soon. It's already a constant battle for us to have ICMP traffic allowed everywhere.
You might want to hold off on that statement. This isn't over yet.

Also, is your stance that if the majority don't do it then there's no incentive to be risky like these failed banks?

What happens if the government continues the trend of bailing them out? Do you think maybe banks will start to see a pattern and start changing investments?
Yes, this is my experience. Many off the shelf models still don't work, but several of my own models work great as long as they don't use unsupported operators.

Forensic Architecture: Precise not accurate

House of cards is bad, but in the mean time consider such hypothetical situations - gov orders you, that you MUST sell a suburban house:

- within next 15 minutes

- within a year

Each time frame will definitely result in different price. All of them will be what market was willing to pay, but prices are somehow still different.

Forced sell does have an impact.
Well said. I think we are in agreement that most "it's alive" is feeling based hype because people see a step function (I want to avoid saying a quantum leap) in quality compared to e.g. Markov chain games on a corpus.

I would dispute that this is a step toward AGI. I agree it's what proponents are saying. I just think they're wrong. We are no closer to understanding what underpins intelligence and this statistics model isn't informing us of the basis of it, or a purported AGI in particular.

There are some places that still work the old way, such as where I work - and we're finding we're increasingly out-of-touch with younger developers who grew up in a connected world. We had a recent college grad engineer (developer) who didn't work out as a hire. Some examples of the disconnect:

Try as I might, I couldn't get him to understand the difference between "git" the tool and "Github" the website. He kept making me nervous because he'd slip up and use the two terms interchangeably. (We have sensitive data that shouldn't be uploaded to the cloud.)

He didn't seem to completely understand files/folders and the desktop metaphor. He didn't seem to understand the difference between personal devices and work devices.

The last straw for our boss to let him go was he turned in a project that used a free web service on the cloud to upload data and get back the rows sorted. (Refer back to what I said above about: sensitive data.)

It didn't appear he was being obstinate, it was a tech-cultural difference. "Radical semantic disconnect" as I've seen the term used in science fiction.
I would add that there are logic deductive and constraint systems that are more classical and work in some areas. It is not about a single method but we should he aware that AI is a superset of what we see.

The rendering in the Avatar movies is at the cutting edge. But quite apart from the very uninteresting storytellying there's something there that just doesn't work for me visually - I don't know if it's the uncanny valley effect of the giant skinny blue people with giant eyes or what, but I'd definitely rather watching something creative and painterly like the Puss in Boots movie, or even something like the Last of Us with really well integrated CG visuals and VFX that aren't necessarily top of the line, but well integrated and support a good story.

Man, there's probably a dozen different loosely-formed ideas floating in my head right now — kudos on the exciting presentation, you really make the problem seem interesting. I may just have to give this a shot, though I think the odds of me figuring it out are exceptionally low. Still, working on cutting-edge problems is motivating, even if they're above my pay grade :)

You've nerd-sniped me good and proper. May the best team win!
Is "supercomputer" still even a thing? It's not as if they're building something with a single, super-powerful core. They're combining lots and lots of CPUs and GPUs. So by that measure, shouldn't AWS and Azure be the world's biggest supercomputers by far?

The entire financial system is built on fraudulent activity. HSBC started by laundering money for opium drug dealers into China, regular scandals, revolving door regulators, etc. The biggest surprise is how the system has not collapsed yet. It would not surprise me if the can is kicked further down the road after some people get a hair cut. It would also not surprise me if the multi polar world goes back to commodity backed currencies...e.g. gold & oil.

Lots of other modern dyes are quite poisonous as well, and are not banned even for things like toys, or foodware.

Lead oxide for example only got banned in the most of the world in 200X, with countries copying EU's ROHS regulations. Chromates are well known to be cancerogenic, but are only about to be banned in EU.

All bright red cars manufactured after nineties have to use organic red pigments, which fade very fast, in comparison to chromate or lead pigments, that's why there is such huge monetary interest in finding a new inorganic bright red pigment.

If you assume that solid salt can't flow, then it can't.

But for e.g. a contact poison absorbed through the skin, sticking your finger into a large pool of the stuff might get you a bigger dose than sticking your finger into a tiny puddle, even with little to no difference in surface area of skin making contact.

Going back to salt, it is known and used for its ability to draw water out of other materials. If you stay in contact with a large quantity of salt, it will kill you through dehydration, because even though it can't flow, the water that you contain can. Your skin should have a good amount of resistance to this; the inside of your nostrils, or an open wound, not so much.

I'm speculating here; if you really want a definitive answer, you'll need to find someone who creates data for MSDS sheets.
"Some observers fear that the decision to disregard the $250,000 cap on insured deposits could generate irresistible pressure to insure deposits fully regardless of the amount. This would undermine the purpose of the cap, which was to give large depositors an incentive to monitor the conduct of their banks and subject the system to market discipline. A total guarantee, many argue, is an invitation to irresponsibility. This may be right."

SVB was happy to conceal their precarious position until they were required to recognise and disclose losses when they sold some of their bonds.

Is there any reason we should promote personal responsibility on the part of depositors.

The author's children are VC. What appears to be an easy question suddenly become challenging.
Most privacy advocates I know revolve around the concept of "informed consent". The idea isn't to ban technologies because they can be abused, it's to stop the abuse.

The guiding principle for when that line is crossed is whether or not the affected person was completely and accurately informed about what is going to happen, and that they have affirmatively given their consent for it to happen.
Over the past 30 years Switzerland had pulled back from its neutrality stance somewhat, participating in European organizations much more than it historically had over the past 150 years. So if you only understand Swiss neutrality in the context of the recent era, it may seem odd. But from a longer perspective it's more a regression to the mean.

As we leave the post-Cold War era into a more uncertain and conflict prone[1] future, it's entirely unsurprising they'd retreat. Or perhaps another way of looking at it is that it's been awhile since Swiss neutrality was truly tested, and perhaps people had assumed more of a change than there really was.

[1] As between major powers and also, at least regarding immigration and trade, within the West. Conflict never really dissipated much across the rest of the world.
> If the delays hadn't happened it would have been around a few years before Starship and gotten some good use

It costs $2.2 BILLION per launch, and it only launches ~once per year.

That doesn't sound like "some good use" to me.
Unsurprisingly and as expected. As I said before back in 2019 [0] and a year ago [1], the time to IPO was in 2019 and back then, Stripe had no plans to IPO and instead took a series of down-rounds from its high of $95BN, then $74BN [2], $63BN [3] and now $50BN.

Oh dear.

> I believe this distortion is largely the product of the fact that the justice system has simply not grown in order to keep up with the growth of the U.S. population

I believe this distortion is because small crimes like being caught with a joint are causing our jails and legal systems to become overloaded. The solution is not to grow the justice system but rather to make sure we don't overload it with laws & violations that are unimportant.

With the more than 20 years, and continuing, of Republican overrepresentation in the Senate, control by the Democratic majority is impossible.

> US Treasuries carry risk that's not been accounted for.

US treasury debt is approximately the safest. The risk was that SVB might need cash before the bonds matured. The regulations encouraged SBV to do this. Now the Fed put is re-imagined, and we shuffle on while mumbling 'nobody could have imagined'.
Neat!

Vectorization is the best part of writing Fortran. This looks like it makes it possible to write fortran-like code in C. I wonder how it compares to ifort / openMP?

While you're probably right, I've seen dumber things happen so I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility. :wink:
I just checked Google, and there's a bunch of online Notaries. So I really don't expect anyone to trip up over this step.

I personally go to the bank somewhat regularly to pick up $5 and $1 bills. It wasn't that hard for me to have a notary form also signed for Treasury Direct access.

-------

Besides, there's a chance that you can get everything done online with Treasury Direct. It just so happened that there was some kind of issue that required me to send in a notarized form proving my identity and such.

But using a notary is kind of basic "adulting" skills. There are other government forms that require a notary. (Passports and such).

What do you mean by language design here? Is it the user-facing bits and the ergonomics? Because it seems to me (as a non python dev) that that's the bit that python devs really like.

I wouldn't worry, there's plenty of blame to share around. But having said that, permitting lobbyists to successfully advocate for weakening the underpinnings rather does point at this cohort.

They're eminently blame worthy. A failure in oversight is very hard to assign to anyone but the people who changed the basis of oversight requirements.
> The problem is that the businesses have made customer's ability to access their previous purchases dependent upon continuing to have a business relationship with the account

That's not a problem really. Think of country clubs. Your investment is completely lost the second you stop paying.

I understand that folks may dislike the subscription model, but it's not illegal.
I find it pretty ridiculous that people are arguing that these models act with comprehension.

That is a much larger claim with a significantly greater burden of proof.
I wont feign any deeper understanding here, but wouldn't it have been just as bad (and perhaps worse??) if they had been public over the last couple years?

I.e., wouldn't the public market have shredded their stock apart even more if this is how even the private financial markets are handling their current positions/views of the business?

I suppose if the goal was to create a big exciting exit event for employees and private shareholders a 2019 IPO would have been great, but I'm imagining a bunch of that wealth is wiped out by a downturn in public prices too.
Alternately (or additionally), I'd love for regulatory prohibition of implied ownership of these sorts of items.

Ex. if access is revokable, it's illegal to use the word "Buy" alone - have to use "Rent" or "License" or "Buy License" or something that doesn't imply ownership (because ownership is not being offered)

Why in the seven hells would they need 6.5 billion on top of that? Are they building gold-plated toilets at their offices?

But unless you return the same host for 50 objects, I'm going to have to do a bunch of DNS lookups too, right? And a bunch of SSL setups.

Hopefully you at least make sure to try and return a single host for all the objects in a request.
For starters because one of the first products people decided to use these models for is a search engine, and I don't think it is a stretch to argue that search engines should have a positive relationship, rather than indifference, towards facts and the truth.
If we wanted to 'fix' both the price overhead on the App Store and the Freemium problem there then the best way to do that would be for Apple to reduce their cut on initial purchases but keep in-game purchases at 30%.

Right now they're doing nothing to discourage these patterns.

I cut Apple some slack because I worked in mobile when the iPhone was still a product demo. If you think Apple are assholes, you don't remember what carriers were like. Some of them were in the middle of figuring out how to white label phones so they could completely control the wireless space instead of share control with Moto, Nokia, Ericcson, etc. AT&T wanted you to buy an AT&T branded phone, not a Nokia. If memory serves, HTC was one of those white label manufacturers at the time.

The introduction of the Razr and the iPhone kept us from being in the worst timeline. And the App Store broke open an entire industry.
Yup. The state of the art for real-time rendering just isn't there yet for hero work. Even ILM's custom Helios renderer is only used for environments and environment-based lighting, as far as I've read. Assets, fx shots, and characters are still rendered offline.

Even with real-time rendering for environments, I'm sure there's plenty of post-processing "Nuke magic" to make it camera-ready. It's not like they're shooting UE straight to "film".

I have seen reports of Unreal Engine being used quite successfully for pre-viz, shot planning, animatics, etc., though.
The problem is that your accounts with these businesses can accrue innate value over time. If you have spent 4 figures on buying video games on steam, and then want to dispute a fraudulent charge, access to all previously purchased items can be suddenly and permanently revoked. No to mention data like friends lists, game saves, etc.

Even worse, for XL companies who force one account across multiple products, the two things can be completely unrelated. If Google is refusing to RMA my pixel 7 phone which arrived defective, I can't issue a chargeback on that phone purchase because they'll remove my access to the last 10 years of family photos, my email, my domains, and my GCP servers.

Sure you could argue that this is the exact reason you should diversify these things across different companies, but in some cases the tight integration between these products is a compelling feature. The price for that feature shouldn't include removing consumer purchase protections.
Did you watch in IMAX 3D? I watched in both 3D and 2D and the 2D simply cannot compare to the 3D. The way most 3D movies work is the 3D effects are done after the fact in post-production. 3D in Avatar movies are done entirely in the shooting phase, through 3D cameras. Hence, the 3D in Avatar films is much more immersive to me than in something like Dr Strange 2, which simply could not compare.

Hey, we're actively working to get in touch with a new lawyer to help us do a better job with this. I agree this isn't cool. I was rushed to get the launch out and didn't review the terms carefully enough. We will try to do better going forward. Our goal is to be respectful.
