This is somewhat inline with the concept of the AI Bias Paradox. Many perceive that machine has the potential for unbiased reasoning; however, it can never be better than our own as we only have biased observers to the system.

While not statically linked necessarily, app images do attempt to bundle dependencies such that they “just work” as self-contained executables on most Linux distros - which is what the poster above seems to care about.
Apple is a hardware corporation with superior products than most of its competitors. How is one new piece of software a threat to its business?
The point is that Apple's line of business is not directly tied to its AI assistant (nor is Amazon's [ecommerce/cloud] or even Google's [ads/cloud]).

If it seems worthwhile, Any one of them can license the new generation of AI assistance from someone or spend a bunch of cash to build an adequate competitor on their own.

ChatGPT is an exciting example of this new technology, but has almost no "moat" so far. And for as much as Microsoft/OpenAI can establish a moat, the way they'll monetize it is through licensing anyway.
Duolingo is driven by analytics. My guess is that they saw that almost nobody is using the notes compared to the app and it's too much work to maintain them. Also they have to keep them working for three platforms, which isn't all that trivial.

I find it pretty ridiculous that people are arguing these models act without comprehension.

Sentience is a whole can of worms and frankly a useless undefinable term imo. But comprehension? Please. These models comprehend concepts just fine.
The problem is that they are worth $100m if held to maturity (you get your $100m back, ergo their value is $100m if held to maturity), but the current price is $80m, because who wants to buy a bond at 0% when you could get around 5% at the next Treasury auction.
That makes it even less plausible! Teslas have been around for years. If people could unlock each others cars we’d have heard about it a long time ago.
> stealing “training data” in the name of profit

They just show it to the AI, it doesn't store it - just data about it. The same as you when you look at something, be it a painting or a chair.

The only reason AI companies store the data is they want repeatability. If you want to train two copies on the same data you can't rely on the same sites being up. I commit the same crime by saving websites I've read because I don't want my sources to dry up on me.

> What is the price of developing an art career over 40 years?

Market price. How does it benefit the customer here and now?

It's no different than being a furniture maker with years of carpentry skills. The value to the customer is still just the marginal benefit over an IKEA stool.
Great read. What conclusions should we draw? What should we do, if "money is no longer money"?

Is it just me or on Android do like 90% of these not really work right? Firefox is especially sparse, but Chrome isn't much better.

Does Android just not ship with many fonts? I'm on a Pixel 6 with Android 13.

For instance on Firefox:

- Transitional, Old Style, Slab Serif, Antique, and Didone fall back to serif

- all Humanist variants, Industrial, and Rounded Sans fall back to sans-serif

- nothing for Handwritten (so just shows up as sans serif)

And Chrome is better but still not great:

- Transitional, Old Style, Slab Serif, and Didone fall back to serif

- all Humanist variants and Rounded Sans fall back to source-sans-pro

Postgres has a ton of parameters that can greatly affect performance. I've used https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/ to help w/ that.

In terms of schemas, where you put your indexes matters a TON. Indexes make reads faster and writes slower (to oversimplify).

The entire "they're all young lonely people" is such a bizarre narrative especially when it comes from techies, reminds me of how gamers or even just computer people in general were stereotyped as being reclusive nerds before it became cool to be in tech.

They're young people with enough free time and money to play around with emerging technologies that are still a bit too fiddly and niche. It's kind of a given that such a demographic probably doesn't have to worry much about relationships. Being young, it's also a given that a lot of what they do involves sexual references even if they aren't seeking any sex in real life.

After reading through the article I'm not really seeing the loneliness these other people are supposedly experiencing. It's just typical internet banter, not too unlike what people sharing a discord server might engage in.

While I don't know anyone who frequents Meta's platform, I do know many VRChat regulars (personally I average ~5-6 hours a year in it, while they might be around an hour daily at least) and none of them would say they're lonely, many of them aren't in relationships, but that isn't from a lack of ability, they simply aren't at a point in life where being in a relationship matters to them.

Right... but the whole point Bloom's experiment is that if you give every kid a tutor, they perform (on average) at the 98th percentile. Not just the rich kids who can afford tutors.

I do think there are valid concerns that this technology (like old-school human tutoring) could be disproportionately available to already-privileged children. This could potentially widen the achievement gap. But it seems way more likely that we can get poor kids a laptop to tutor them vs. getting them a dedicated human tutor.

I actually created a separate Google account when I signed up for Fi expressly to keep them separate, since there was an awful lot of language in the Fi agreement that made it sound like Fi was the "Hotel California" of wave goodbye to your G-Voice number if you ever leave

Also, FWIW, I ejected from Fi over to Mint because the WiFi calling on Fi was indescribably bad as it "wo..cut...i..ou..can.you.hea...now?" and made me never want to call or be called more than I already was by default
Apple, Google, Amazon can build a similar large language model easily enough within a year. ChatGPT is useful for a limited set of tasks, the real gains will be integrating this sort of technology into other software stacks to do more than just creative writing. This will take adding additional task specific machine learning as you're seeing Microsoft attempting to do. But Microsoft should also be a bit of a cautionary example, it shows that it's not actually that "simple" to get a language model to work reliably for new complex tasks.

Dish bought Boost from Sprint/T-Mobile for $1.4B with around 9M customers, but that was also part of a sweetheart deal to get the T-Mobile/Sprint merger approved. $1.35B for 3M customers is basically 3x more expensive, but I think there are some differences.

1. It's not a sweetheart deal. You can't really compare T-Mobile being willing to throw away a billion or two in order to close a deal worth maybe $90B.

2. It's a 61% stock purchase. T-Mobile's stock has been flying high and even if you're bullish on T-Mobile US as a company, it's now worth 14% more than Verizon and 36% more than AT&T. T-Mobile has some advantages in its spectrum portfolio and its 5G lead, but Verizon and AT&T also have a lot of owned fiber that T-Mobile doesn't have and a lead on rural coverage. The point is that I think T-Mobile's stock is likely a bit high and that means that they're partly buying Mint at a discount (by trading slightly over-valued stock instead of cash). Maybe the real value of the deal is only $1-1.1B.

3. It comes with Ryan Reynolds as a spokesperson. Boost didn't come with that.

4. Boost's 9M customers came with the costs of an extensive retail presence. Mint's 3M customers come from a low-touch model that saves a lot of money. T-Mobile is adding 3M customers without adding a large retail cost.

5. This also gives T-Mobile a new go-to-market - the low-touch, store-less go-to-market. That's valuable and they're able to do it with a brand that has gotten traction in that area and without risking their T-Mobile or Metro brands.

6. It's a differentiated offering - specifically offering both limited data plans (which they don't want to emphasize on their T-Mobile or Metro brands) and multi-month or yearly prepaid plans.

7. Mint seems to be a growing brand while Boost was already having problems when T-Mobile was selling it off. T-Mobile sold 9M customers to Dish, but even after Dish bought Republic Wireless, Ting Mobile, and Gen Mobile, they're down to 8M customers. In the video, Reynolds talks about being on T-Mobile's network as a key to their success. It's a bit of puffery, but being on Sprint's network definitely left a lot of Boost customers unhappy and hurt the brand. The point being that buying a brand that has a good reputation and a customer base that seems happy is more valuable than buying a brand that customers aren't happy with that has really high churn.

It does seem a bit expensive, but I'm guessing some of these factors went into the price.
Taxpayers aren’t footing the bill.

Even if the transaction turns out to be cash-neutral for the government - or even provides a small profit, as with TARP - it is still providing very considerable resources in the form of liquidity, coercive muscle - and sheer gravitas.

It’s not meaningfully a bailout.

Tomato, Tomah-to.

In the same ways as if you go driving cross country with inadequate money in the bank (and inadequate insurance), and then have a major breakdown -- forcing you to ask your parents or your friends to wire you money -- they are unambiguously bailing your sorry ass out, even you promise to sell your precious vinyl collection that pay them back, once you get home.

When I look at acc statement it shows a list of completely different banks each with <250K. If our bank goes bust I presume we get our first 250K that are sitting in the bank itself as soon as FDIC takes over which is enough for operations and will need to contact other banks for our money. It's more like a brokerage account than a regular deposit.
> you'd need to explain how a world with stablecoins that are immune to bank runs...

Wait... I need to explain this? I don't even believe in it.

I'm not really interested in arguing theoretical constructs. You yourself admitted that just last weekend a stablecoin dropped to 88 cents on the dollar (while my bank dollars were still worth one dollar each).

Before I prove anything, why don't you start by proving (heck just demonstrate) a long term stable stablecoin. Just saying it's stable doesn't make it so.

I have dollar deposit protections now. Love or hate the fed, at least you're dealing with a known quantity, and a boatload of laws that are actually (historically demonstrable) enforceable.

There are no regulations or protections in the crypto space, only a bunch of hollow promises.

Until the crypto community can actually demonstrate long term stability (and stable audited reserves) of any so called "stable" coin, I'm not interested in discussing financial theocraticals, let alone moving my dollars out of my FDIC insured bank accounts.
We actually don’t know if the rules changed. The rules are that the FDIC covers up to 250k in losses for each account. The SVB that the FDIC now controls still has valuable assets which likely cover the accounts as designed. Or at least get close enough that the the difference is marginal.

reserves are for more than a rainy day fund. They're also for saving up for predicted maintenance needs. For instance, say the HOA is responsible for the roofs of all the residences (like if the residences are condos). It's a somewhat predictable and high expense that you can map out to 10 years down the line or something. Then you save up for it in your reserves.

This is being worked out, but the gist is likely that we end up merging things rather than choosing between them.

Pyroscope have driven more of the clients and have a deeper understanding of the UI — so we'll probably bias towards Pyroscope for those — and Phlare has driven more of the scalable storage and database — so we'll probably bias towards Phlare for the database.

Both teams bring different perspectives of the same problem space, and the two products and their teams complement each other well, so we'll figure out how to take the best from each.

The biggest win is the people, the Pyroscope people are incredible and they join a few of our best people at Grafana Labs who were already working on Phlare — in doing so they create this high talent density with a strong purpose to make profiling be an essential, easy-to-use and scalable 4th pillar of observability. For me that is the real potential, to amplify the possibilities of both teams and products by bringing them together.

Editor: Here's a racy headline, do you think you can make an article out of it?
It is (was) a thing, the idea works exactly the same way. Person A deposits $100, bank lends $90 to B, $10 goes to reserve (if 10% reserve rate). System thinks there is $190 instead of $100, so money is "created".

As of 2020 in the US the reserve rate is 0%:

That seems like a nonsequitor to me. I don't think that being well-off correlates to whether or not someone is willing to violate the law. And I don't think that, in this situation, rummaging through the car to find contact info is actually illegal.

MegaBanks have automated procedures which are more about automated bureaucracy than regulations.

If Computer Says No, nothing is happening. But Computer lacks any sense of context or local variation. By definition decisions are based on national stats which average a lot of behaviour.

Smaller banks have people - who are probably experts - making contextual loan decisions. Someone's good character and work ethic - or lack of - is going to influence the decision.

This doesn't make decisions infallible, but it's the difference between small-focus rigid decision making, and broad-focus community-dependent decision making.

It's also why so many people are caught in the rental trap. Many of them are perfectly able to afford a mortgage, but they don't match the bureaucratic criteria on some relatively minor point, and so Computer Says No.

It's also why credit scoring is so slanted. I have a perfect payment record, but no loan history because it's more than six years since I paid off all my debts. If I apply for a credit card I'll be marked down because I don't have a large existing credit limit.

This is deliberate policy, because lenders don't want people like me who will pay off the balance in full every month. They want borrowers who won't. This prioritises immediate profitability - until the loan book blows up with a wave of defaults during a recession, because these borrowers are inherently riskier.

You are describing a case where the desire paths are undesirable, as they may allow litter or vegetation growth, or hasten erosion of soil.

However, when you mention "even tell what the official trail is" is a desire path still desirable in this case? I mean, if no one knows there is an official trail what purpose does the desire path serve? Or is your concern about having interesting vegetation or whatever spoiled by the desire path?

I wonder if there is an optimum amount of desire paths -- where it is still possible to follow the official trail, but interesting diversions are also allowed.
