Yeah good point. I'm not really a 'laptop guy'. I only use desktops (mostly NUCs). Which is basically a laptop without the battery, screen and keyboard anyway.

But I've heard WiFi drivers in particular are not so good - never really looked into it because I wire all my stuff up anyway.

I use a thinkpad laptop for work and a cheap $150 Chuwi laptop for the makerspace but that's all.

We all live by definition following physics laws. There's no 'ought' in physics, only is, was and statistics.
Weird, it seems like that's one of the most popular discussions in pop-sci. The real question is more philosophical... does Many Worlds even mean anything scientific (eg is it testable or a usefully simple model). Certainly, it's entertaining.

The fallacy of "reformed communism" hopers is that with development came not their hoped reform, but even stronger regime, and harder life.

Way more, many times more rich Chinese are fleeing China now, when it reached some level of wealth, and industrialisation, than back 10-15 years ago, when China was incomparably poorer, and everyday life was incomparably harder.

All of that was easily predictable. You have a terrible regime, you give it money, and power. It only becomes stronger, and more terrible, not less.

Communism is irreformable.
There's a big difference between "this person was a con-man, never actually did any of the things they claimed, and was outright lying in order to present a marketable persona" and "this person is commonly given more credit in the creation of some things than they deserve, but they were closely involved with all those things, and were unquestionably a major figure in their field, regardless of the extra hype that has attached to them (even if they may have encouraged some of that extra hype)".

Steve Jobs was not a con-man. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, he never claimed personal credit for the things you're saying he didn't do; those were things that were attributed to him by others.
So that's what that is. I encounter that quite a bit when I try to paste and get annoyed trying to figure out how those extra characters got in there. I then would go and edit the start and stop of the line to remove them. I never actually tried just pressing enter for what looked like garbage at the start and end of the string.

I've seen it as a frustrating annoyance. Now that I know what it is, maybe I'll try hitting enter next time.

I think though, if a terminal (like iterm and windows terminal preview) was just going to enable this by default, they should have included some dialog the first time or two it happened. Something to explain what was going on.

Kind of? $5M to train a new LLM from scratch is not much of a moat even now we've left the 0 interest period, the question is will people start spending much more on networks in the future. (I'm sure they will spend more, but will there ever be a billion dollar network? idk)

Certainly there are many industries that are impossible to enter with this than 100x that amount of money, either because of regulations or engineering challenges (or both).
This is just completely naive and wrong. The last two bank collapses happened because they held too much long duration assets and held them on the books at cost. Where would that show up here? That’s right, nowhere.

Offhand, I'd love to be proven wrong (because this is an environmental issue that IMO is far more important and demonstrably real than the other thing) but I cannot imagine that certain countries (who cannot be named) would ever agree to a genuine agreement in this space.
But wouldn’t it have grown just as much? Wouldn’t it have been ubiquitous and crucial? Perhaps social media sites would have had a rougher go but what would we have lost with that?
Because the AI's, at least right now, can't generate/change code so that it correctly does what's expected with the confidence intervals we expect. I've tried to get it to happen, and it just doesn't. As long as that's true, we'll need to somehow get the correctness to where it needs to be, and that's going to require a person.

Tools matter. When I learned SQL long ago it was with FoxPro for DOS, and it was a great tool for doing both SQL and text based UIs (as with curses). Later, I used MS Access 97 and it was an even better tool and sparked a lifelong interest in data modeling. The ui for building up tables (specifying column data types, etc) was really trail-blazing at the time and the interaction remains good today. The built-in ERD charting tool was good, showing your tables in relationship to each other. The visual query builder was...well, I never used it but I suppose it was good? You just had lots of good tools to build tables, flip through their contents, and visualize their relationships.

I don't know of any modern environment that functions like that, on any platform.

I'm posting this to invite others to either a) correct me and tell me I'm wrong that tooling doesn't matter (a legitimate view, but wrong), and/or b) recommend some modern, OSS Access-like tools that might help flatten the learning curve for you. (And if you're more comfortable with a CLI and a REPL already, then you don't even need this hypothetical tool, but I myself am curious about it.)

EDIT: looks like LibreOffice Base is pretty close to MS Access circa 1997.
Hundreds of things. Peyton just told you that. But you like the idea of Jobs being a “conman” better than the truth so why disabuse you of the notion?

In case you’re wondering, filing a patent with an improperly listed inventor is fraud and invalidates the patent. Every patent app includes a signed oath and declaration by the inventors that they did indeed invent it.

The idea that Jobs didn’t have direct input on the functionality of novel features of Apple products is beyond absurd.

Aside from the fact that he was notoriously hands-on, Apple has been coasting on his achievements and direction for over a decade now.

This is the giant leap of faith that is never explained in the paper clip argument. Why on earth would we develop an AI that is connected to all these systems without having any manual overrides? Or if your argument is that AI’s will be super good at hacking into all software systems, isn’t that a security gap that will be exploited by many governments already? Basically, any AI that is halfway decent at doing something on command will be more dangerous than an AI acting fully autonomously.

If you just want to learn a model of chess games in algebraic notation (is that what it's called? I don't play chess) then you don't need to train a Transformer. That would be overkill, and you wouldn't really be able to train it very well. I mean, unless you have a few petaflops of compute lying around.

You could instead start with a smaller model. A traditional model, like an n-gram model, a Hidden Markove Model (HMM) or a Probabilistic Context Free Grammer (PCFG). The advantage of such smaller model is that they don't need to have billions of parameters to get good results, and you'll get more bang for the buck of the many, many, many examples of games you can find.

But, don't expect to get very far. A system that learns only to predict the best move will never beat a system that looks ahead a few dozen ply, with alpha-beta minimax, or that plays out entire game trees, like Monte-Carlo Tree Search. Well, unless you do something silly to severely hobble the search-based system, or train the predictive model with all possible chess games. Which I mean, is theoretically possible: you just need to build out an entire chess game tree :P

You could also try with a simpler game: Tic-Tac-Toe should be amenable to a predictive modelling approach. So should be simpler checker-board games like hexapawn. Or even checkers, which is after all solved.

But my question is, what would you hope to achieve with all this? What is the point of training a predictive model to play chess? Hasn't this been tried before, and shown to be no good compared to a search-based approach? If not, I'd be very surprised to find that out, and there might be some merit in trying to test the limits of the predictive approach. But it's going to be limited alright.

Fake products in China are so common it seems unlikely for this particular fake to be worth reporting.

The simplest answer of a slow news day is probably the correct one, but I can see why someone would think Samsung might want to push it.
I've lived in China and I can tell you, you will NOT like China especially for the reasons you've stated.

China has a ton of problems that aren't readily apparent unless you are feet on the ground. The majority of the culture of china is, "dog eat dog" in that you will be scammed and taken advantage of unless you speak fluent Mandarin.

You will run into problems with excessive Chinese bureaucracy both with the government and services you need. The only way to break through is with a bribe.

Things we take for granted like food and product safety are secondary.

In the first month, I got incredibly sick for a food born parasite (this was from a good grocery store too nonetheless).

Don't ever eat from street vendors (google gutter oil).

You also run the risk of getting physically attacked when relations with America are rough. I heard stories of a guy that got jumped by a group of chinese men after Trump was elected. He didn't even vote for him and the police did not care.

China is the type of place you visit, make a bunch of money, and get out.

In all honesty, you'd be happier living in a 2nd or 3rd tier Benelux or Dach town.

It would make infinitely more sense to get around it contractually.

To use the service, the prompter agrees to take liability for the output.

More like upscaling. Should a service be liable for upscaling an illegal picture, that they "produced?"

If LLM output is reverse compression, it is upscaling of the original prompt.

(That said, I dont think your example of a model compressing the internet really invokes 230, because the model creator is the one grabbing the content, not running a service that other people post content to.)
When have humans ever given anything or anyone rights without a fight? The courts and the legal system have already ruled: ai has no right to its work.

There's plenty of arguments for privatized infrastructure, if you never heard them then you weren't looking for them. For example telecoms, energy and TV monopolies have been broken repeatedly in the 20th century in countries around the world, nobody wants them back. There were way more infrastructure monopolies in the early parts of the 20th century than there are now.
It's actually the side mirrors which are the problem. I tend to glance at them frequently to maintain situational awareness, but that good habit is punished when a vehicle with elevated lights simply hovers in the lane next to you. Many times I have to actively adjust the mirror to a useless position just to keep from accidentally blinding myself.

> inflation is the risk right now

When deposits are destroyed, that causes deflation. Deposits aren’t being destroyed. But wealth, in the form of banks’ non-deposit liabilities, is.

The Fed would welcome such deflation (though not its cause). But that doesn’t seem to be likely. That said, nothing which is happening right now is inflationary other than, potentially, the Fed pausing its rate increases.

By the time ChatGPT 5 is ready to deploy, at least one of the following will also have happened: (0) OpenAI will have been sued into oblivion for violating at least some legal requirement somewhere, (b) an open source or leaked equivalent will have been made to run inference "fast enough" on home computers, (γ) WW3 (I mean I hope and also believe Russian corruption turned all their nukes into reactor fuel, but it's at least a possibility they didn't).

Flesh and understanding are separate concepts. The experience of being human is a separate concepts from understanding.

Everything in the universe has a set of rules governing it's existence. To understand something means that one can create novel answers to questions about something. Those answers however must make sense with the rules that govern the "something" at hand. This answer must also not be "memorized" in some sort of giant query-response lookup table.

That's it. That's what I'm saying.

For example if I ask chatGPT to emulate a bash terminal and create a new directory it can do so indicating it understands how a filesystem works. That is understanding.

I never said that LLMs are human. However understanding things is an aspect of being human and chatGPT captures a part of that aspect.

They are not. The holders of some particular kind of bond designed to be wiped out when some capital thresholds are triggered are wiped out. (It may be debatable if what happened here was or not a trigger event though.)
Currently it is, yes. In this case, I'm arguing that it should not be.
