Let's not assume the behavioral consequences of masculinity are purely a consequence of social construction, and not of genetics. The extent to which both factors contribute is an open question.

It's the same in Romanian, and I guess many other languages.

Many of the common words of European languages are derived from Greek and Latin, and where the meaning has diverged in English, now (because of its ubiquity) these false friends are being realigned to mean what they do in English.
Yeah also considering the article on Ars today about people testing whether ChatGPT poses no harm. I think singularity is coming but much differently than anticipated. So yes, the economy will have to change massively and less work hours are needed. (And the concepts are there: Negative Income tax, Universal basic income...) The change will be more graceful the less everybody is in denial.

As mentioned elsewhere this is not the first technological disruption in the economy. The change from heavy industry to a service industry didn't go well, hopefully it's possible to take learnings from this and do it right this time.
I thought just the free tier went away.
Python is currently running on 100,000s of CPUs right now. There's an environmental cost to that.

Moreover, people have huge python apps that they can't just rewrite and python just isn't fast enough. This has happened so many times. So many man hours have been spent optimizing python code, that we have over a dozen different implementations in just this thread alone and it doesn't include 3 that I know of.

Python's current Achilles heel is actually it's performance. It's slow as fuck. Those 10% of applications matter. And faster performance won't hinder anything for people writing 100 line scripts.
How did GPS tracking companies survive Google and Google Maps? I think there will probably be many niches to explore even as the big names work hard to compete and eventually commoditize LLMs
Look at Australia for a cautionary tale on letting gaming companies do as they please. I've worked in the industry and I'm very much on the side of letting people gamble if they choose to do so, but _everywhere_ in our society is just plastered with ads for it. The volume of ads for gambling during a sports events can sometimes exceed the actual commentary on the event.

I'd ban gambling ads, and I'd ban pokies (tangential to this discussion but pokies are pure evil). I'd expand our self exclusion legislation to a national system and crack down on online retailers allowing the self exclusion system to be subverted.

This may be a matter of personal preference, but I find the style of the replies annoying.

When I'm trying to get something done I don't want a bot telling me what a splendid day it is. I could be 7 layers deep into some rabbit hole with an entire stack of things in my head. Just give me a concise, accurate response.
Isn't lunar dust an absolute nightmare made of sharp shards of material melted/compressed from large object impacts, or something of the sort? That has to be a nightmare on the skin or soft body tissues. And devices.

Jokes aside, is there some sort of good reference about the internals of the Moon? I never gave it a lot of thought but it makes sense it'd have some internal structure. While I don't think there's a lot of lunar spelunkers on the job, maybe we got something with scanning or something. I don't even know where to look.
It's mostly self-aggrandizement. It's just a term for someone who can write very specific and unambiguous instructions, people with general analytic thinking are usually pretty good at it whether they be philosophers, programmers or mathematicians.
Why not? If it was trained where some subset of the input tokens are always instructions and another subset are always language data wouldn't it have a clear separation?

Hmm, this works with literal translation, then?

Hello, how are you?

is literally,

But usually you would say,

I think OpenAI is being extremely lenient with the enforcement of their content policy, probably for the sake of improving the security of the model as you mention. Moderating its usage through account banning/suspension seems exponentially more efficient than securing the model, specially considering that we are already fairly good at flagging offending content.

The GDPR flagged this as a "TODO" item and left it explicitly there, so someone was at least already thinking about it.

I sometimes wonder if it is going to take a massive Estate Law court case to push the needle on this. We're about to the point where "Grandma's Steam Library" is going to be big enough in expected cash value that descendants would meaningfully fight over it, and open up the can of worms that is current digital goods laws. (Including the fact that technically Grandma's Steam Library has *no* survivorship guarantees and Steam's TOS, like most TOS agreements in current digital services, terminates along with the person it was contracted with.)

The majority of work we do now, even in skilled professions, is busy work. How much of the work you do each day is unique and novel? How much of your work could have either been automated or made unnecessary long before ChatGPT? Probably most of it. We’ve long since been able to do less work and yet we continue to do the same things over and over again. Even if ChatGPT can magically do everything for us, what evidence is there that we would take advantage of it? World hunger is a trivial problem to solve given the resources we have today and yet we apparently can’t be bothered to fix that extremely low hanging fruit — why would we buck that trend by radically rethinking knowledge work… because of an LLM?

If LLMs were enough to radically change knowledge work, we already wouldn’t be wasting our lives grinding out 40 hours a week so we can retire at 65.

Isn't the CNN a discovery in itself? Without it, we'd be following the bitter lesson and "leveraging computation" to throw more data / compute at an MLP.

Clearly someone felt that there'd be a better inductive bias and attempted something else, and now CNNs are what's used "in the long run".
Hi, Stephen from Upollo here.

When I was running a small SaaS, I had lots of users repeating my free trial so they wouldnt have to pay. There was no easy way to stop it. So I joined Upollo to build it :)

We've just added no-code integrations with Segment and Google Tag Manager, so you can find out how much account sharing or repeated trials you have in minutes.

I is pretty clear they are underwater from their SEC filings. You know what exactly what their assets are and what their the fair market value of their securities. They reported the fair market value of their underwater loans.

I was with that site until it compared the US budget to a household budget with a credit card. The average American family doesn't control the federal reserve or set interest rates and employs zero economists, so that seems like a dumb way to think about the problem.
Incredible results to my questions. Do these work by finding similar pieces of text from a vector DB, and then embedding those similar pieces of text in the prompt? The answers I'm getting seem to be comprehensive, as if it has considered large amounts of book text, curious how this works as there's an OpenAI token limit. I've heard this is what tools like langchain can help with, so maybe I should play around with that as this all seems like a mystery to me.

I don't think a high level representation is necessary for relatively straightforward FMA extensions (either outer products in the case of Apple AMX or matrix products in the case of CUDA/Intel AMX). WebGPU + tensor core support and WASM + AMX support would be simpler to implement, likely more future proof and wouldn't require maintaining a massive layer of abstraction.

> As far as I'm aware crypto never saved me a minute of time

It's saved me days and weeks of international wires. Basically for the last half-decade, things that would have been international wires and subject to crazy scrutiny, missing deposits, "which institution has the funds" back and forth, and that's been reduced to domestic transfers.

The international vendor would just receive crypto, or vice versa. And we would use our local methods to have local money in our bank account.

Oh right, and at unlimited amounts. That's important, a lot of people are never moving enough to know this is a problem.

Fees were not percentage based, and the commerce could work 24/7. this is very different from whatever arbitrary limitation is placed on the other method.

This is funny to explain because it assumes we even wanted our state's currency after the fact to begin with (USD for me, I'm American), since we could buy goods and services and investments and entertainment with the crypto immediately. But going back and forth is fine. I want to pay fiat people or a credit card off? Its in the bank account same day. I want to stake in a crypto service? I can do that immediately.

I don't think there is any metric on how large this use case is: curiosity inducing international wires replaced by low risk domestic transactions. I don't think it is possible to quantify because they just look like address to address transfers, and domestic withdrawals. I think its common enough.

It's self-censorship, which is still censorship. I'm doing it specifically because it might upset some people. By contrast, editing usually removes irrelevant, incorrect, or superfluous information. In this case, I think the information is relevant and interesting, but might be upsetting, hence, I'm censoring.
My interpretation of the general society's viewpoint on this is for the most part people are ok with the restrictions we place on intellectual property. Most people don't record movies on their phones in theaters, most people don't photocopy books, most people don't trace over artwork and then pass it off as it own. There are people that do all of those things and they are generally shunned by the communities of people involved in creating those works, and the rest of society for the most part goes along with that position, either by not caring, or supporting the laws.

There are points of strife of course, the very extended copyright windows we're seeing, the concerns over sampling in music, (particularly a few decades ago when the technology to sample became widely available, though mostly resolved at this point).

I'm not super familiar with all disciplines, but I know within art/drawing, there is a ton of discourse and training to communicate to new artists what appropriate study/remix/use of reference is, and what crosses the line. While there are different viewpoints, I have confidence that for the most part these discussion are based on good faith arguments in ways that serve the artists and those that consume art. Not saying any of this is perfect or couldn't be improved, but the institutional knowledge is significant and dismissing and overriding is probably going to be a lot of work.

On the flip side, there are those that 'justify' whatever they are doing as... well, as whatever argument suits whatever they are doing. This commonly happens with piracy ("I don't want to support big-co XX", or "DRM is evil" or "This is just for personal use"). Any of these would hold a lot more water if anyone who had this opinion actually did any work to to solve whatever problem they were having, while respecting the creators interest (maybe by say, strengthening IP laws so DRM was unnecessary), but that almost never seems to be the case, because turns out the argument isn't actually an argument to modify the concepts of intellectual property to enhance society, it's just an excuse to justify stealing.

This is what I'm seeing constantly with regard to the current round of AI data scraping, people spouting "it's ok because of XX" but then not really having any interest in propagating XX, instead just having an interest in using other people work without paying them to advance their AI product.

Your original post didn't seem to express which camp your interests lie, so I responded as if it could be in either camp.
Forcing an existing organization to bend to your will is textbook entitlement.

No, my point was actually to regard those lives. Gadaffi was ovethrown by his people, it was a conflict of their choosing and there is no known civilian casualty in that invasion by the way. But wars can be avoided and civilian lives saved if dictators big and small knew their invasion was a guarantee if they threatened a mighty country they can't resist.

If you are going to have a war anyways, use that horror as a signpost that tells others "this is what will happen to you" to avoid more wars. If you say "we're sorry, won't happen again" guess what? It will happen again because they will use direct or indirect means to threaten other nations and the by the actions of one dictator millions die. This isn't about justifying war but about preventing it.

> No one is displacing that tomorrow, or next month, or even, I don't know, I'll be bold and guess 5 years from now.

Betting on the status quo is definitely a pretty safe bet--and particularly over the timeframes of AA-AAA game development. And particularly for someone who is wanting to pick up a job in the industry tomorrow.

> for nearly 20 years, the physics library choices game developers have had has been a small handful

Another way of looking at that is that it means there's 20 years of pent-up interest from people who want a physics library that can benefit from the past 20 years of programming language & software development methodology improvements. :)

> If anything, in 5 years, you might have one new entrant that might develop a solution worth considering.

I think it's important not to discount the impact build tooling like cargo can have on adoption of Rust libraries and the potential for developing libraries in Rust but also exposing them via C and/or C++ bindings and gain adoption via that path as well.

And, due to a combination of "starting at the same time" & build tooling, the potential for cross-industry cooperation on development is greater too. (Questions about fields of endeavour aside, I note that Rapier physics-related projects are sponsored by both game companies & a mining-related company[0].)

(And with regard to scientific computing & Python--well how many people know or care whether the "fast" library they use with Python is implemented in Rust or C++ as long as it's stable & reliable?)

> You can absolutely have exponential growth and in major categories make zero impact to the industry.

True. From my limited perspective it all comes down to whether Rust can deliver on the promises it makes & whether it can make the cost of switching compelling enough for teams to move.

But there does seem to be quite a few people who are putting in a lot of work to try make that happen.

Of course, it's entirely possible the games industry decides against such a wholesale change in which case I guess anyone who learned Rust in the interim will just have to take a less underpaid job in a different industry. :)

Until sports betting was legalised in the US, FanDuel and DraftKings specialised in fantasy football, where you pay to enter competitions against other players. The winning players split the prize money, the company takes any money left over. For legal reasons the prize pot was fixed so if not enough people entered a contest the company would have to eat the loss.

That was arguably not sports betting, therefore legal, because it was a game of skill against other players.

The big difference with sports betting is that you’re now playing directly against the house. Their profit depends on how well they calculate their betting odds. Arguably it’s still a game of skill, but it’s obviously pretty stacked in the company’s favour.
Great use of OpenStreetMap data!

It would also be interesting to see the distribution of `bus_stop`'s with shelter and seat (full service) verses just a pole. Maybe amenity=shelter or covered=yes - I'm unsure if they're usually on the same node or a separate node (within x many metres).

In Australia there's a considerable variation of bus stop quality. There might be some interesting insights into where the minimum effort bus stops are (council/gov boundaries? transit deserts? who knows.)
