People should keep in mind that these human in the loop AI systems are built to learn from the human until they’re good enough to replace them.
The U.S. has moved so far to the right the last 50 years that it has distorted the electorate's idea of what 'centrist' means. Regan believed the tax on capital ought to the higher than the tax on labor. Bush Sr. supported cap and trade when it came to acid rain. The EPA came about during Nixon's Presidency.

Toyota has statistics for PHEV's. Majority of users in USA and EU (>70%) don't charge(at least once per week) them at all. Most of the time they just use gasoline and treat them like hybrid car and charge them when there is a benefit (e-car parking spot, etc)

Sorry - trying to find source.
I work at a big tech company and there is a complete ban on coding using LLMs. The fear is sending our code for the model to learn in the future. This is also why then hype around GTP4-powered Office is overhyped. Very rarely will a corporation be OK with GPT-4 running inferences on their internal documents and excel sheets

Until an on-prem solution is offered, many of these companies won't get anything out of the technology

The layoffs at big tech are caused by un-even profit generating, Where 5% or 20% of the company generate 99.9% of income. The rest are essentially startups being funded by rich VCs. Eventually if you don't find PMF the VC cuts the funding
Years ago, a local skinhead and his buddies surrounded a car being driven by an Asian woman and began screaming at her to go back to her country. This is in an utterly dull suburban environment.

In the SF Bay area, I regularly had to deal with dudes approaching me at the pump to beg for money, often berating me for turning them away.

Recently, there was a car-jacking at a local gas station. Again, utterly dull suburban USA.

Stuff happens all the time whether you experience it or not. Sometimes it's violent, other times it just feels like it could turn violent. Most times it's not recorded in any static.
The point is that the headline is ambiguous.

RNA is a compound, and Uracil is also a compound. Thus you cannot tell from just the words "RNA compound" whether they mean a compound that is RNA or a compound that is part of RNA.
> Money is just a store of work

So, when you print more of it, whose work is being encapsulated into it?

And how do you explain profit margins? You are aware that things aren’t priced at just the cost of work, right?
> So right now electric isn't worth the price difference for what it delivers.

This depends on what you value. As you illustrate with your explanation of why men buy it, which is one explanation among many.

If you prefer avoiding the mechanic, or want to pay less over the lifetime of your car, or you anticipate, while contemplating a long-term purchase, that the ICE infrastructure becoming more expensive and less reliable, or you want to reduce your personal carbon footprint, or most of your trips are local and you can charge at home, etc., electric cars are already worth the price difference.
On the negative side, no mentions of the Vim plugin update so far.
Spam is censored, the vast majority can't even be sent because of SPF etc

You can pick a different server if you don't like the censorship on the one you're on, that's the whole point

To the spammers it's all great content you should be getting. No one's deleting your messages on your own Mastodon server, they're just not copying it to their server, what's the problem?
Not OP, but just want to make it clear to other readers that you can claim disability at any point, or never, it’s up to the individual.
I see where your coming from, i really do. I also agree that facebook can sue people right and left.

Our main disagreement here is you maintaining that what people are sharing is Facebook's property while i maintain the exact opposite. At least not under current law. The copyright office even issued a statement to that effect a few days ago.

Can a judge overrule the copyright office? Sure, though I have no idea on what law it would be based. Can congress pass a new law that gives new rights to facebook? Very likely (as depressing as this answer may be).

This however does not change the fact that under current intellectual property laws, facebook does not have any rights to restrict the distribution and use of these weights among third-parties.
Actually, Michael Hudson argued that even Sumerians knew that, so they had a debt jubilee everytime a king has died (and from that comes the phrase "clean slate"). Despite all the technology, we are not really much smarter today.
> Hancock and his collaborators set out to explore this problem space by looking at how successful we are at differentiating between human and AI-generated text on OKCupid, AirBNB, and Guru.com.

The study evaluated short-form generic marketing-style content, most of which is manicured and optimized to within an inch of its life.

Most dating profiles I see are extremely similar in terms of how people describe themselves. Same for Airbnb listings. I'd think AI detection would be much higher for long-form writing on a specific topic.

Trustworthy means something different to businesses.
My firm wants to go all in on using some companies AI as a service, but we can't because we can't have them change a model that works for us on the fly.

Trustworthiness is missing from the AI as a service at the business level. So we are now heavily investing money to make our own.

Data providers who can provide huge amounts data for AI training, its probably your time to shine soon.
Yesterday, Copilot could not write a program with SymPy, which is a library for doing symbolic math in Python. (e.g., it would consistently confuse symbols in equations with Python variables). Today it uses SymPy as well as it uses NumPy (occasional mistakes, but overall it has the right idea). Absolutely astounding.
Another really important factor here is workload size. If you NEED massive, parallel compute 1 hour a day, public cloud is probably your best option.

But if you can break that up and batch process it over 24h, and you don't have a need to scale up and down, a VPS from OVH is going to give you almost an order of magnitude lower cost than Azure, AWS, and GCP will for a box running 24h/day. What $5/mo gets you on OVH will run you close to $50/mo running 24/7 in a public cloud.

There are in fact human-readable ascii formats for board layout, like the old PADS ascii format and whatever KiCAD does.

> 50 machines at hetzner

- install machines with ansible (using hetzner scripts for OS install)

- machines communicate over vswitch/vlans, external interfaces disabled whenever possible. Pay attention to the custom mtu trick.

- harden machines, unattended-upgrades mandatory on each machine

- ssh open with IP whitelists from iptables on gateways

- machines organized as k8s clusters, took ~1 year to have everything working cleanly

- everything deployed as k8s resources (kustomize, fluxcd, gitops)

- use keepalived for external IPs with floating IPs for ingress on 3 machines per cluster

Machines are managed as cattle, it takes <1h+ hetzner provisioning time to add as many machines as we need.
I used this politically inflammatory story because it was an example of the platforms literally censoring news. How is that not relevant to the discussion at hand? I didn’t mention “normal people” or if they should care about it, that’s orthogonal to the topic.

I don’t think people understand the hockey stick we’re on. Don’t focus too hard on the failings, look at the scaffolding being rapidly deployed that makes the iterative improvement process exceptionally tight.
I am guessing that at some point a class of programming languages will be designed that is both optimal to generate by LLMs and easy to read/understand for humans. Right now most PLs are optimized for writing code by humans.
It is not simply that, although it does ensure that the money that those institutions lent is paid back, rather than defaulted on. But let's be honest: what's really going to happen in the case of defaults is that the banks will seize the real underlying assets and sell them at fire-sale prices to other rich people.

The important part is that the borrower is now out from under exponential debt and can get on with their lives, and total debt in the economy is brought down to a sustainable level. Non-debtors get something too: free and clear cash.

Is it perfect? No, of course not. Nothing this simple could be perfectly fair. But it is simple, hard to game, addresses the core problem (too much debt) and is probably as fair as it will get, practically.

Certainly the elites would scream bloody murder if someone important legitimately proposed it. Keen has been ignored and mocked for years. That's evidence enough for me.
They were probably apprehensive beforehand, and now just unleashed it on everything.
Right, but the idea is that copilot frees up more of your time for the creative part. That is what I have found in practice.
well that makes sense, most people do not have level-2 charging capabilities in their home, nor do they care enough to run an extension cord.

the right stat to get would be people who can and want to charge and look at the miles electric vs gas.
Even more infuriating are interviews that expect you to complete a complicated 'homework assignment' that is essentially the company trying to get free coding work from its applicants.

I once interviewed where they gave me a big assignment to complete. I must have spent about 8 hours on it. Since I wanted them to see my thought process along with code examples; I gave them something that was about half pseudo-code and half real working code. The hiring manager said they couldn't accept it until I had converted all the pseudo code into working code as well, along with a set of tests that exercised the code. I estimated that the assignment would take me an additional 20 hours or so to complete.

I told them that I had spent enough time working for free and if they wanted to pay me for the work I was doing, I would be happy to complete it. They declined, which told me all I needed to know about the company.
In general demand for programmers has been growing over the long term. So if the baseline is an upward trend, these tools can have a demand-reducing effect and the overall demand can still be going up just at a lesser rate.

Or it could be flat or go down - my point is that one thing reducing demand doesn't necessarily mean that demand is going down.
chatGPT is great to rewrite certain text in grammatically correct and simplify or make it more formal, etc.
Thank you very much! Filtering by location (and role) is on my todo list, but it is trickier than it seems at first. And I totally agree that the buttons are confusing. Actually, the "sort" button does sort the jobs. It sorts by semantic similarity to the job you selected (using the GPT text embedding). As for the buttons (and probably other parts of the site) not being accessible: I apologize. This shouldn't be an afterthought.
I don't recall harassing anyone, whether near a charging station or otherwise. Please qualify these sweeping statements. Not “men” in general.

It’s unclear if Baseten is paying for this to be hosted, though two of their employees launched this. Baseten is a serverless backend for building ML-powered applications. Possible Facebook might argue by using the software to drive traffic to their commercial services, it is commercial use — especially if there were internal messages stating this was their intent.
tl;dr - The satellites were looking at the Earth's surface, for "maybe that vaguely-kinda-circular thingie there might be a huge crater?" features. And the scientists have (very conveniently) not yet bothered to check stuff like ocean sediment records - which could confirm or disprove the prehistorical asteroid craters which they "found".
Also don't forget no hardware spectre/meltdown mitigations. V2 Xeons are EOL and get no more updates or support, V3 isn't far behind. Once these go EOL (or get close), companies start dumping them.
I was wondering the same thing. It seems like it is labeled weirdly since it is part of GitHub, but definitely was triple checking what was going on with that.
Stochastic Markov Monte Carlo cut and paste is clearly more powerful than deterministic cut and paste.
I'm a child of a bookkeeper with no econ training under my belt and I know about interest rate exposure and risk hedging. And there have been discussions since 2008 about how long QE and low interest rates could last, it's not like that was a new question.
Firefox is by far their biggest success. That's precisely why it's absurd to criticise them for branching out.
I’d have to imagine a combination of more chargers, faster chargers, denser batteries (aka less charging), and very well lit areas will be needed to make female drivers feel safer. I’m not sure though. Perhaps we will see the gas station attendant make a comeback?
I find Haskell is really good for this. Typed holes + ghcid makes for a really fast and helpful feedback loop.
Ah, I see this model already has the Quora.com and Medium.com plugins installed! /s
This is a way rich people delude themselves into thinking they’re not rich. Basically every CEO falls into labor under your definition, there is always some way to dramatically boost your consumption.
Agreed, I think we're entering the 4th era of the internet (as I see it).

The first era was pre-consumer (arpanet etc).

The second era had internet installed in several homes across the country, but it still wasn't clear what the internet was going to become, and it was still considered an oddity. This was roughly 1990-the mid aughts.

The third era saw the internet become socially viable - myspace, facebook, twitter, instagram all took over peoples lives. This roughly coincided with the release of smart phones, as well as the increased computing power of browsers, spurred mostly by V8.

For the last few years there's been this implicit expectation that we're entering into a new era, but it wasn't clear what that era would be. For a minute, people thought it was crypto/metaverse, but that was always kind of a silly idea.

It's now clear that AI is going to be the catalyst, and I think it's ushering in something equivalent to the industrial revolution, but starting from where we are now. It's just impossible to fathom where we're going to go from here.
Honestly, the move to soft keys and touchscreen UIs for basic vehicle operations was one of the worst trade-off decisions. Touch UI makes sense for complicated device interactions, such as a navigation systems. But these are typically supplemental features to driving. Replacing basic functions like climate, or volume controls, etc was insanely foolish in my view.

Imagine if you had to look at the steering wheel or gas pedal to confirm you interacted with them...

We are gifted with highly precise and sensitive devices (hands) for manipulating objects which can detect even the slightest interaction by feeling alone, and to replace that with something that requires visual or auditory feedback..in a car...was a reckless move.
Why not Fortran?
> so they had a debt jubilee everytime a king has died

From this I can gather that Sumerian kings on average didn't live very long. ;-)
Do you also disallow your employees from reading github, stack overflow, or other sources of code?

ESP32 running with Arduino framework comes with FreeRTOS out of the box.
I don't use it for dayjob stuff because I don't want to deal with the hassle of explaining and selling someone on it to get the use approved, and admittedly there are (however small) risks of sending confidential stuff over the wire. Copilot isn't enabled for those projects.

Personal stuff? I don't really think about it at all outside of these threads, no. I'm not exactly citing every source for where I learned each concept, and people smarter than me say that's how Copilot learned it too. That'll do for me and my side projects, I'll keep up with the law as it keeps up with AI.
This is an AI response, isn’t it?
> rather in how much it is unique

IRL a lot of what people do is rehashing or gluing together things as others may have done before. We all stand on the shoulder of giants - code is a tool to enable an outcome.

I don’t agree with your definition of “code uniqueness is productivity”.
> The US is actually one the most corrupt countries on earth.

That's an enormous allegation. But I don't think it holds up.

The US has corruption, but actual bribery is rare, and the reason we're so outraged is because we have the attitude and expectation that no one should be corrupt. This is like saying "I wouldn't want to live in a bright room - I'd see a roach or two! I'd rather keep the lights down low."
> I don't see what's special or better about compiling everything into a single binary, apart from fetishizing the executable format.

When you distribute your software to other people, it cuts the step of installing the correct interpreter... at the cost of requiring the correct computer architecture.

It is very likely a gain.
I use Firefox mobile every day and have had no problems with it at all, what makes you call it "largely broken"?
Can't recall many people trying to read a book on a bike.

For some reason they seem to think it will work when the book is electronic and small enough.
My SNES still boots first time every time and it is inching towards 33 years old. I've never needed to open the case to maintain it. Meanwhile I went through two Xbox 360s in 4 years which RROD'd themselves.

I know the hardware is magnitudes of orders more capable, but the old kit is winning on the Darwinian front. It'll probably still work when my grandchildren uncover it from the attic. It might even play the Super Mario World outro theme when the heat death of the solar system arrives.
Vertex has a training service, rather than spinning up a notebook. If you can dockerize the training job you just need to upload the container and data to gcs then it’s point and click to run once - assume it’s some sort of kubeflow or whatever in the background.
Microsoft is a so well positioned on this I think Silicon Valley has forgotten what it looks like when they don’t have a horrible CEO. When Microsoft executes well, they’re a scary force. They were exceptional under Gates and it looks like they are again.

There’s a massive paradigm shift we’re just at the beginning of and Microsoft has been putting pieces in place for the last couple of years. Nadella has really turned things around for them.

Google and meta are scrambling.

Things should get interesting.

I have some interesting stories from writing a report about a couple teams using AI pair programming for development at my firm.

I'm seeing experienced senior developers use the AI to context switch like lightning.
They know when the AI is bullshitting them, but they can use that seed to "jumpstart" their memories.

Junior developers doing very domain specific tasks are taking longer to develop using the AI. However boilerplate work is speed up significantly.
The first video in this post is a perfect example of the problems I see in this space.

First the programmer asks the AI to nebulously "fix the bug". Then the AI spits out an answer faster than anyone can read and prompts you to integrate it.

Sure I can pause the video... but this is terrible marketing and dangerous practice.

The PR autocomplete is just braindead development at it's conclusion.
The HTML markup in the form example is not valid. Label for attributes correspond to the input's id – not its name.

I'd be really hesitant using a technology that abstracts away something as fundamental as HTML. You're putting a lot of faith and trust into a library that will make mistakes that you can't fix.
Good point ... paying down my mortgage faster is a fairly poor use of the funds. However, if it can be used for regular payments or prepayments over a period of time, it's not a bad deal.

I'd hope they'd also make exceptions for any loans under the current rate of inflation, but good luck getting that passed. Having to immediately pay off a 0% loan (if anyone still offers those) clearly is far from the optimal use of the money.
> This will require converting the organization account to a personal user (non-org) account.

I don't think this is possible.
I hate to ask a product comparison question, but why would I use this versus other projects like PySyft.
It sure looks like they're setting themselves up to (again) be in a position where no one can get around them.
That IS me. $5K is not enough to run an LLM at home (beyond the non-functional reduced quantization smaller models).

Increased productivity usually leads to cutting team size instead of expanding scope. A lot easier to justify doing the same work you have been doing with less, as opposed to doing new work with the same number of people.
I'm unsatisfied with the current situation too, but it's a hard problem. You can either go full container (which means no BSD, and having to deal with Docker or Kubernetes and all the associated woes), or fallback to native packages which are a huge PITA to build, deploy and use.

I think that Nix and Guix have part of the solution: have a way to build fully independent packages that can be easily installed. But I'm not comfortable with the complexity of Nix, and Guix does not run on FreeBSD. And ultimately you still have to handle distribution and configuration of the base system you deploy on.

Innovation is possible, but there are a lot of expectations for any system
dealing with building and deploying software. I feel that there are
fundamental limitations inherited from the way UNIX OS work, and I wish we had
lower level operating systems focused on executing services on multiple
machines in a way similar to how mainframes work. One can dream.
I've also seen it suggested that modern tech is causing people today to be less in touch with their physical bodies and the bodies of those around them. I personally think I'm much happier and more "productive" when I have access to physical intimacy (which, as with perhaps many people today, is less often than I would prefer). Perhaps it's all related?
