unlikely as AFIK Amazone hasn't fully folded Twitch into it's structures additionally:

Firstly Twitch due to historic reason is less likely to have any personal bloat.

Secondly running a streaming platform isn't cheap (media live cross decoding, high data transfer, more requirements for the data transfer due to less buffering, still moderation and copyright detection, some licenses with big copyright holders etc.) and from why I have heard twitch isn't doing that well (through not terrible).

Thirdly there was a influx of live streaming usage during COVID which now likely is receding.

Fourthly it relies a lot on people not just subscribing but "gifting" money (bits, subs) to streamers for little return besides bragging rights, a thanks maybe some emotes and feeling good because of the gift. In a economy which feels more unstable people are less likely to want to spend money this way, or can't even if they want to.

I would guess Twitch has more reasons for cost cutting then Amazone, but at the same time I would guess in different to Amazone Twitch is more likely to be negatively affected by the layoffs.
It looks good to me but is it right that the biggest model they tried was CoLT5-XL with only about 5B parameters and even this includes some that are zero from sparsity? My understanding is that it's not enough for some of amazing emergent things that the original formulation of transformers could do, but maybe the ideas of CoLT5 will still scale even for the large language models?
Am I the only one who thinks the AI doomsayers are even more ridiculous than the AI cheerleaders?

ChatGPT may be useful and so on, but dear god. It's still just a fucking chat bot.

We need to regulate AI and get better at building safe AI systems. Especially for things like facial recognition, self-driving cars, hyper-targeted advertising / engagement hacking, and the like. But "slow down" is such a ridiculous framing. The issues with these systems are obvious to everyone, and addressing those issues is a deeply technical and deeply difficult problem. We need to be throwing money at computer scientists to help build safety engineering tools and best practices. Hand-wringing over obvious faults by philosophers is not helpful, nor is burying our heads it the sand and going full Amish but with 2016 as our "just the right amount of technology" basline.

I hope in five year we remember that the non-technical journalist class lost their god damned minds over what ultimately amounted to be a mildly useful parlor trick.
Is the commonality tech companies or high-growth companies?

(Virtually all high-growth companies are tech companies but I don’t think the inverse is true - unless that’s how we define “tech” now which is plausible.)

High-growth companies include both those that plan to grow fast and those that are growing fast. The general theory is nobody really knows how big such a company can grow. (eg, Amazon circa 2006 is dominating e-commerce. Can it get any bigger? Spoiler: yes it can.)

So these companies offer an opportunity: invest money to build more teams doing effectively random trials and see what sticks.

This is the investment opportunity the parent comment described and that’s the calculus that’s changed.

What I find interesting is the same trade-off applies to both profitable and unprofitable companies. Unprofitable startups are deciding where to burn their runway, weighing against the projected cost of raising on more. Profitable companies are deciding where to re-invest profits or whether to pay dividends to shareholders.

800 lbs. gorilla in the room:

iPad Pro as a display that is upgradable to a MacBook Pro with a dock of a keyboard, eGPU, and eCPU different from existing magnetic docks. The convergence between macOS and iPadOS hints at this possibility.

Further afield in the distance future is iPhone as the basic unit of computing and identity, with an iPad as a screen backpack and MacBook Pro as a resource dock onto that. This would promote selling more products and seems more "futuristic".
GCP puts automatic analysis recommendations in the UI right next to the resources in the table of VM/etc names, and IMO the recommendations (for both upsizing and downsizing) are dramatically more accurate than what AWS gives you
Are you saying USA has socialized healthcare? Perhaps, but only if you are poor (medicaid) or very old (medicare), or risked your life for military service (VA), and even then the wuality and access is not very good (just like anything socialized)

Looks more like minimum safety net, rather than socialism
Yeah, that seems to be what the evidence is pointing to. Certainly for hospitalized patients there can be long-lasting effects, as with any kind of hospitalization, and like all respiratory illnesses it can drag on for months.

There is also the chance that it will develop into a post-viral condition (ME/CFS), which I've experienced myself (long before covid). However in that case the viral infection is really just a trigger, and stresses (whether pre-existing, or from the condition itself) seem to be more important in driving the symptoms.
I have never seen an advertisement for a startup on Twitch.
I stopped using them years ago for other reasons. We're talking about how to do research into their fuckery here, I'm not suggesting it's sane to fork a browser to make a company's crapware work.
I would also argue that “performance” and “manual memory management” do not go hand in hand.
Sending tensors to two or more nodes is a partial solution, since you can reject ones that don’t match. But fundamentally the answer is yes — bad actors can overwhelm the swarm, and there’s not much you can do about it.

I think the project should embrace this limitation. eBay had the same problem, but it’s in a seller’s interest to deliver correct items quickly. Make a social incentive and the rest will work itself out.
Many sites do it, but the one I always recall is reddit.

Elon has said he will open source the algorithm since even before the purchase. He said it is for transparency.

Social media algorithms have done a lot of harm, covered and discussed endlessly on HN, and transparency would be a first step to reducing that harm.

I believe the move is in line with his original motivation.
It has a well define loss function with a numerical value. The improvement of this value can be a type of difficulty. Check some other comments I’ve made on this post for how it might work.
Considering it was made in less than 7 hours with no access to the internet, I'd excuse hacks.

Edit: Especially since it's called out as a constraint:

> Don’t worry about production quality, just re-create as much of the look and feel of the UI as quickly as possible. No accessibility, responsive design, localization, etc; you just want something you can run through a user test.
Why’d they allow porn on Twitch? Isn’t that game streaming?

We have onlyfans for the other stuff, do they need to mix it?
Wow, that code is entirely unreliable. It just detects your browser's viewport being outside of some threshold of a "normal" aspect ratio and then just blindly assumes that means the devtools are open. The only devtool it can actually detect is Firebug. Everything else is nothing but a blind guess based on the size of your viewport. I'd be astonished if anyone used this code for anything serious.
Haskell already transpiles to C or JS anyway.
That's a valid reason not to use their services.

Yes. Not that it necessarily means it will be the same scale.

The biggest difference is that this will hit everything that was (knowingly or not) built for a near-zero-interest-rate environment, not just financial companies but speculative tech startups that need lots of VC patience, etc. So probably not as focused on just financial companies.

The fact that a library can lend out a physical book, but not a scanned copy of a book, with all else being equal (having paid for the books, one person borrowing a copy per paid for book) is a blatant power grab by publishers, who have never liked libraries but couldn't really do anything about them before.
SVB as an excuse for any company turmoil is criminal. Literally nothing happened. Everyone got all of their money. If any company uses SVB as an excuse they must be named and ridiculed for lying.
Absolutely we need to reduce our population, how we do this in a smart and effective way.. I don't know. But by hook or by crook it is going to happen - I suspect entirely by crook.

A good example would be the 'Limits to growth' study. I know they are just models but they are useful tools for thinking with.

The last 6 models were all of ways to steady the population but most of them showed that the action needed had to be taken in the 1970 til 2000 to have nay hope. As Dennis Meadows said himself, he made the mistake of living long enough to see this study start to come true.
People here (northern Europe) don’t bike at 25 km/h while drunk, if at all (unless racing/exercising), so it’s not really an issue.
The publishers have chosen to make Controlled Digital Lending (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_digital_lending) the scope of this case, and the Archive does maintain a vast warehouse of the physical materials that they digitize (http://blog.archive.org/2014/05/23/its-a-party-at-the-archiv...)

CDL is the interpretation of law that many libraries rely upon to make digital copies available, and if the IA is on shaky ground here legally, then so is our library system.

Many Western nations have substantially reduced their emissions already. This did not result in catastrophic reductions in living standards. And these reductions happened before the current exponential cost improvements in renewables really began to cross the “knee”. At the same time there are fossil fuel interests and politicians who are trying to slow down renewables and promote more fossil drilling, even when it’s not economic. (And China is burning massive amounts of coal for reasons that make less economic sense every month.) This stuff is “set the controls for the heart of the sun” levels of suicidal. We won’t survive it.

As for geoengineering, good luck. While I also think this may be necessary, a precondition for spraying stuff into the sky is convincing people that this kind of intervention is necessary. Good luck doing that while enormous financial interests are trying to convince the world that it’s safe to keep digging up and burning fossil fuel deposits. They may not object to geoengineering itself, but they can’t afford to permit the kind of consensus it would require to get geonengineering done, so they will throw resources at fighting that consensus until it’s too late.
Is that the right way to describe it? I mean the deal triggering the write down.

Another way to describe it is that the write down of the AT1 bonds makes the deal possible.

From a consumer standpoint, the question is really how well the actual risk of the bonds was communicated, it sounds like the contract was executed as written.
Not OP, but I think there’s a tendency to put a lot of things on your resume where you were in the room where it happened. You get past the stupid automated resume screen and you know enough during the initial phone screen. If it comes up on the job, well, that’s what Google is for.
It's only 'unsavory' if you're ignorant of the history and reality of Korea. Korea is a small, culturally and racially homogenous nation that, within living memory, was colonized by a power that attempted to wipe out its ethnic identity. It has no native racial minority groups. The ethnic and cultural unity of the nation is a source of pride for Koreans. You can't expect a nation like this to import millions of immigrants from other cultures.

I've not tested its limits yet. The thing to consider is prompt length - depending on the model you get around 4,000 tokens, and the prompt itself is already 264 according to https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer - you need a bunch of space left for providing the output of your various actions, so tokens get used up pretty quickly.

The ReAct paper talks about fine-tuning to teach a model actions. I'd be interested to see an experiment that fine-tunes the LLaMA model to teach it actions - I have a hunch that might work really well, and save a bunch of token space in the actual execution phase.
Well atleast the CS workers still get their bonuses.
I’ve always wondered if in my lifetime exponential growth of economic and technological developments would hit a velocity where one or both expands faster than I can even process the changes.

> What's the actual goal here?

I tried to expand on my goals and paths I want to explore in a comment below [1], but basically I wonder if we can use this sort of technique as a more powerful version of CoT where prompts can break down a task into sub-tasks (as CoT does) and then recursively do that for each sub-task, until we hit a base-case on all of the sub-sub-...-sub-tasks and (when rolled back up?) the problem is solved.

> You may also be able to get better results by just including the definition of fibonacci in the outer prompt

Yeah, I played with including the mathematical definition of Fibonacci, for example in [2]:

<quote>
You are a recursive function ... the paragraph you generate will be an exact copy of this one ... but with updated variables as follows: FIB_INDEX = FIB_INDEX+1; CURR_MINUS_TWO = CURR_MINUS_ONE; CURR_MINUS_ONE = CURR_VALUE; CURR_VAL = CURR_MINUS_TWO + CURR_MINUS_ONE. Otherwise, ...

If you can figure out how to do that - extend an LLM with formal logic to establish truth v.s. fiction - you'll be solving something that so far the big AI labs have all failed to do.
Huh? LPs don’t put money into a VC fund for 4% returns that they can get on bonds. They do it mostly out of diversification. Usually looking for 10-100x. Why would that change?
No, I actually need a new framework to wrap React so that React can call document.getElementByID. I've never gotten any element by ID personally in my life, that's the stick shift of JavaScript.

Repeating an old comment by myself:

Some idiots are using the extremely scary-looking radiation symbol (or something too similar) to sell soda, for example:

* https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Radioactive-Mulberry-Marciano-In...

* http://rad-60.com.ar/ [1]

IIUC this is just water with sugar and a fluorescent dye, not radioactive material (except the natural amount of radioactive deuterium and potassium, that is not enough to make it glow).

Thanks. That's a fascinating idea.

I've always found it odd that a person can buy stocks in both Microsoft and Google, for example, or both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo at the same time.

For regular non-filthy-rich people it won't affect anything, but it is very interesting to think about with institutional investing. What does it mean when competitors have some level of shared ownership?
Incompetent criminals don't get paid. And you don't hear about the competent ones.
It always comes down to two things: Land cost, and building cost. You get those two down and you'll see housing costs come down.

Land cost can be brought down by building furthere away from the center or in the countryside -> have smaller villages or towns outside of london.

As for building costs. How about we talk to developers and ask them what the biggest building costs are? Often times, it's regulation, regulation regulations. Get rid of all the ones that are causing high prices: at least this should be done in certain areas to allow those who want low cost housing some options.

200 years ago, Henry david thoreagh built a cabin for 28$. That's about 3000 dollars in today's cost. and back then the average person was able to pay off their house in just 10 years! The average house cost about 800$ which was about 800 days of unskilled labor (1/5th of what it is today if you include prop taxes) If it could be done then, then why can't it be done now? why has our standard of living dropped so much, that it's actually considerably lower than it was 200 years ago?
As far as I can tell, the banks aren't misbehaving en masse like they were in 2007. The failures seem to stem from some unfortunate or boneheaded decisions that ignore likely future interest rates.

And TBH... market needs a little cooldown. I am no expert, but I dont like where P/E ratios and such are even after the last mini downturn.
Exactly, the crime is infringement, it is not theft, and it certainly is not piracy.

On the subject of the term piracy, if you are going to pick a heinous crime to represent your infringement, you might as well call it software rape, it is closer to what you are actually doing.

I've talked to a number of bankers over the last week and most of them don't seem to think so. The counter-argument to crisis is that most banks structured their investments differently (soundly) vs. how some banks (e.g. Silicon Valley Bank) structured theirs. There will be some more shakeout of banks with bad investments but not a broader crisis. Of course, take that how you will, but certainly doesn't feel like 2008.
This is going to send conservative media into a frenzy.
They don't reduce housing supply. The same number of people are living in that building as would be if the building had been sold to them.

If you want to get to the root of the problem, look at the development process. Start with your local zoning laws. It is insane how tightly prescriptive they are, usually, and they generally have lots of density-limiting provisions like mandatory parking, maximum floor to area ratios, maximum heights, minimum setbacks, etc.

And then there's the planning/approval process.

On the federal level, it was most recently proposed by Democrats in the Build Back Better bill at the end of 2021, but it did not pass.

How do you know agency is not simply the output of a large language model encoded in neurons? What is the difference between neuronal and digital weights?

Considering that we don’t know how the brain works so well, and we don’t understand why LLMs work so well, simply on the basis of their output I think the safest assumption is that these models do indeed have agency, or at least the capability of agency.
This is just a static site with a big zero isn't it?
The problem is this kind of discourse is coming almost entirely from people who haven't made a good-faith effort to understand the technology. You're engaging with Hollywood illusions that don't resemble reality. There are genuine concerns related to AI developments but they have nothing to do with "alignment", it's all that boring stuff like shifts in power dynamics and biases in decision making. Really important, but not exciting enough for a gripping pop narrative. Less basilisk, more... failing to assemble adequately debiased training datasets for your mortgage approval app, or realizing someone can actually identify certain individuals in an anonymized medical dataset.

If you find yourself feeling anxious about AI, spend time learning how modern transformer-based predictive and generative models actually work. From resources rooted in math, statistics, and computer science; not doomer bloggers.
