Sure. He has no special expertise in AI, and his opinion on the subject is of no more value than that of any other random person working in the field.

> do you just have cheap, physical appearance potshots?

If you think his physical appearance doesn't have a lot to do with why his opinion is sought after by general media sources, well... you're wrong. A major reason they go to him is because he makes an impressive-looking photograph to go along with the article.

Lol OK..

Nathan Anderson is the founder of Hindenburg Research, a New York-based investment management firm, and a forensic financial investigator that is famous for releasing reports on alleged wrongdoing by companies. When publishing some of these reports, his company profits by short selling the target company's stocks (that is, by making a bet in securities markets that the price of the company's shares will decline). If all goes according to plan, the report itself will cause the price of the stock to decline, leaving Hindenburg Research with a profit from its short position.
Lol, we’ve already entered the realm of conspiracy theories.

This is exactly the toxicity that I was talking about.

I suspect most open source software projects would be thrilled to have individuals like you not be their users.
Given the technology available as of today it seems like it would be fairly trivial to start deploying LLMs to post context-aware propaganda from entirely manufactured identities on internet forums and communities. At this point I am just assuming that there are parties actively working on this.

In fact, I think the hard part of the whole thing would be trying to make the network traffic and source IPs look legitimate to the site owners/admins and it will be interesting to see how the battle unfolds to start authenticating content posted in communities as having come from an actual human.
They'll sell you anything. Look at the service offerings in the main navigation on their website, it's hilarious.

I've just had the 'pleasure' of being party to some of their 'SEO' advice (to a large global pharma company, who was paying them $$$ p/h).
I have nothing but respect for the chap.

I never wanted to respect him, as I always thought he was one of those "too good to be true" people, and was mostly a paper tiger.

It turns out that he's the real deal, and has been right about a lot of stuff.
The two Penrose tiles are also an affine transformation of each other.
...they found a single shape

Kind of, though, right? One could also look at it as they've found two shapes that happen to be reflections of each other.
They want them to understand customer frustrations, not employee devastation. Plus, make the C-suite realize how they treat the "lowest" employees of the company and they might not want to work there anymore, have to tread carefully there.
Humans are also entirely predictable, all they do is move their limbs around, make sound, etc...
Your first method sounds like what is necessary if you're working primarily with offshore consulting. It's primarily staff augmentation, and you've got to own and specify every last detail like you said. This is often where I see consulting engagements go astray. Companies take on staff aug resources without the necessarily skills to get good work out of them.

> Even then a 'good shop' can turn into something else later on as they switch people in and out on you.

YES! Those super talented consultants are in high demand for new deals. They often lead the charge on the proposal, initial project work and early conversations with the client, but may rotate off to focus on landing a new opportunity.
My impression is that it makes deploying your 100th server much easier, at the cost of making your first several much harder. If you're going to have 100+ servers, that's probably worth it. If you're not (and most companies aren't), then it's like getting your CDL so that you can go to the grocery store in a semi-tractor trailer, when you should have driven there in a compact car.
But to use a KVM you have to have some form of commonality between devices (one of mine only has USB-C ports), plus you have to have all the cabling. And most consumer KVMs only take 2 outputs.

I'll take Bluetooth _any day_ over having another mess of cables, another box, and what boils down to less ease of use.
If we are okay to admit that CPU is a compiler (or an interpreter), can I say that self-printing machine code like https://susam.net/blog/self-printing-machine-code.html is a CPU quine?
So this is... what? A notion/confluence competitor? I've checked the landing page, announcement, and a few other spots and I don't get a clear answer.

> if you wanted to build a decoder that fetches, say, 5 instructions at a time it would have to read 70 bytes

No you don't. Look at a block diagram of (say) Skylake: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/microarchitectures/skylak...

What you do is extract up to N instructions from a block of memory (in this case, 16 bytes). If there are fewer than N instructions, well, you can only issue as many as you have; if there are more than N instructions, well, you can only issue N instructions that cycle. Note that most instructions are only a few bytes length; I don't have hard data on the average instruction length of an x86-64 instruction in practice, but my guess is it's around 3-4 bytes.

The hard part about a variable-length ISA, as I understand it (hardware is not my expertise), is that you have to build essentially a mux that can steer from 16 source places to 5 outputs.
I'm not talking about the software support mentioned in this story. But 15 years is not good enough VW. The life of a vehicle is and should be more than 15 years. We need to think sustainably and move to platforms that supoort longer term life's. This wastefulness had got to stop and hardly anyone is doing anything about it. Everyone is waiting for someone else or the government to do something. No one really bloody cares.

TikTok’s CEO Is Set to Enter a Washington Fight He Can’t Win
The USD 90% income is 200K USD. That's 300K AUD. The Australian 90% percentile income is 131,000 AUD per tax office stats. [1] That's less than half that of the US 90%. In fact, the threshold to move to a 99% income in Australia is lower than the US 90% income.

And that's even before taxes. Even a high tax US state like California has a lower total tax Australia.

But it's not just income, outside of health care, things are much cheaper in the US too. Sydney is an odd choice for talking about cheap housing. As you said, a median house price of 1 million USD. My local US city of comparable size has a median home price of $375K USD. I spot checked comparable vehicles, and they cost about 33% about more in Australia after currency conversion than in the US. Food, electricity, petrol, all more expensive than the US averages.

Government retirement plans is a similar story. As far as I can tell from [2] the maximum Australian pension payouts for a couple is 41,704 AUD per year. The US equivalent maximum social security would be 74,356 AUD. But Australian pension payments reduce based on your assets. As far as I can tell, having 1.5 million USD (2.2 million AUD) would zero out your pension payments.

In addition to what everyone has already written, it might be worth pointing out that office buildings usually have a floor-to-ceiling distance far greater than residential buildings. So you can add in a bunch of piping directly underneath the floor, then create a new ceiling below the pipes, and the result is still very acceptable.

Second, the quirks are part of the charm [*]. Nobody is marketing these conversions as ultra-luxury units. The history of the building is celebrated, not hidden

[*]. For example, our building still has an operating mail chute system and I bet that it will be kept around after conversion.

Take a look at this page:
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/new-york-citys-mail-ch...

The photo of the Roosevelt Hotel near the bottom shows what ours looks like on the office floors - floor to ceiling glass so you can see letters from above zip past on their way to the lobby.
This will never work due to incentive structure, unless the compiler devs are working for the same company that makes the CPU. Otherwise, compiler devs will target a lowest common denominator and call it a day. And even if the compiler devs perfectly support new CPU instructions, compiler users usually want a single binary that can run on as many CPUs as possible, and so will use the lowest common denominator once again. Currently, your CPU will 99% of the time run basic AMD64 instructions, regardless of its capabilities. So Intel and AMD try to make their CPUs really good at running AMD64 code.
St Louis Starbucks are pretty nice, they aren’t putting stores in bad areas of the city.

He's a CEO of a major company, man. They don't have actual work. This would be the most productive month of his life.
Look at the parasocial relationships that people have had with L. Ron Hubbard, Eliezer Yudkowsky, and even camgirls. (Particularly followers of LRH and EY frequently speak and write like a chatbot trained on their writings.)

I think most "freezoners" (renegade Scientologists) believe they've had telepathic conversations with "Ron". Ron has certainly written enough that a chatbot could be trained to converse in his style, maybe even write the OT levels that Ron never got around to writing.

Since Harold Lasswell people people have been hip to the use of content analysis to predict war and genocide which is possible because the radio, television, and newspapers are all public. However the Iranian revolution of 1979 was not televised, instead it was promoted through relatively unobservable cassette tapes passed through the underground. Since social media shows something different to everybody there might not be any overall surveillance that warns us of upcoming danger.

It doesn't have to go so far as genocide, individual acts of violence are bad enough. There is no magic technique that can take an average person and make them into a "Manchurian Candidate" but if you find somebody who is directionless, socially isolated and vulnerable you can very much lead them into a rabbit hole and lead them into antisocial behavior. Chatbots could do this with superhuman patience.

For instance, a follower of the black pill incel who calls himself "Wheat Waffles" became a mass shooter. If somebody took the "lesswrong" ideology seriously they might attempt to assassinate an A.I. research and I'd go so far to say that they're just cosplaying because if they were serious one of them would have done it already.
There are a huge number of "devs" that only graduated from bootcamps, don't have a passion for development, and are in it only for perceived low effort high salarial benefits. These people are going to exit the industry and go back to their former occupations as the bar to hiring increases even a little.
They were talking about MacOS, not GNOME.
I still don't understand how we ended up with PDF as sort of standard to archive data. PDF is already pretty bad for things like manuals but for things like spreadsheets we basically collect the data, then we destroy all the structure by putting it in into POF, and later on we painstakingly try to restore the data from PDF which is often almost impossible to do with accuracy.

It just shows that bad solutions often win.

I'm reminded of when people had to beg to get phones to have a "dark mode," i.e. something Windows 95 could do easily.

The correct answer is modularity, just let US pick the file-picker.

FYI if anyone is interested I can prove it -- Cash App is engaged in a massive stock trading fraud.

I noticed one day that my books were off (down) by 1 penny. When I dug into it, I figured out that Cash App is providing their customers with conflicting reports for their stock sales.

In the app, the sales report rounds pennies up, in the actual sale, whose records are only available through more complex data export process, the penny in the sale is rounded down, and they are keeping the difference.

I found the rule in the legal terms which states that the calculation in the app presented to users is the correct one, and the penny is illegally missing.

This is for every trade for every one of their users. The aggregate amount of money is huge.

Edit: I just looked back at my analysis and now remember in some cases the missing money is more than one penny. If anyone would like to contact me one on one I can provide more proof.
After spending a few days with Bard and being a user of ChatGPT since release. Bard is definitely better is ways.

The first major noticeable improvement is Bard is way more human like in it response. ChatGPT often spends time writing thing it doesn't need to write.

For example, If you ask them: "If you had to pick one movie to watch today what would you pick?"

Bard give you one single movie, "The Shawshank Redemption", and explains in depth why it liked the movie.

ChatGPT gives you boilerplate response saying it can't have an opinion because it an AI and then lists 5 popular movies with basic explanation of the movie. Not very useful.

A lot of the time using ChatGPT I'm waiting for it to get to the answer I'm looking for because it spends a lot of time writing useless text instead of being more human like and understanding what the user really want in the answer.

I know a lot of people shit on Google because they hate Google, but this is a good product if they can solve some of the bad knowledge but it's more impressive than ChatGPT IMHO simply because they are wiling to allow it to learn new data all the time. While ChatGPT is still using the same dataset from 2021.

Lol. Yup. Though it’s possible that it was overfitting its response to my noob questions. I’ve had better luck since.
This is not terribly hard, though,—Forth implementations have long explored[1] the road from emiting a list of VM instructions (“token threading”) to emitting a list of VM instruction implementation entry points (“direct threading”, although “indirect threading” arguably fits this as well) to emitting a stream of call instructions targeting said entry points (“subroutine threading”) to copying the implementation bodies into the stream (“inline threading”).

With sufficient dedication, you can even cut out the bodies from the binary the compiler of your high-level implementation language produced, to piggyback on its target support. Gforth[2] among others does this in the land of Forth, but the more well-known implementation is perhaps the dyngen code generator[3] used in Qemu before the switch to TCG in version 0.10.

Generating machine code isn’t difficult, and neither is modifying a (low-level) bytecode generator to do it[4]. Generaring good machine code is difficult.

> I move companies between clouds and on-prem to cloud, cloud to on-prem (even though a bit bigger one than 37singnals) and I could use tools like Ansible and Terraform.

Where did anyone say we don't use other tools? Chef + Terraform are wonderful and still in use for us.

> Could you share the comparison chart of tools that you considered? What thought process led you to believe that this is an unsolved problem and requires a new tool? Genuinely interested.

Your phrasing here and in your previous quoted reply leads me to believe you're not genuinely interested. Our environment is not your environment, our experiences are not your experiences. No, I can't share a chart of other tools that were considered, but off the top of my head, Capistrano, various CI integrations, Github Actions, etc.

We're a rails shop. We're going to look at tools in that area. We're not going to go dig into dagger or garden.io or something that causes us to have to conform our dev/deploy environment to a mental model that adds more friction for our developers.

> How should I judge it by than? Reading the code? Figuring out how to hold it right myself?

It's not that complicated of code, only about 2k, total, IIRC? I mean, you could read it. I'm baffled that you're choosing to compare a structural design flaw like the iPhone antennae issue to the fact that a configuration example in a new tool used an IP address. Go off, king.
The biggest takeaway from the article for me was GPT 4 has 100 trillion parameters, 500x more then GPT 3. that type of exponential scaling is going to hit an upper bound really quickly. So when you say it “moves further with each update” you should realize that the improvements are coming from throwing massively more scale at the problem and not some underlying improvement in the technique, and also balance the amount of improvement with the scale itself.

obviously gpt-4 is nowhere near 500x better than gpt-3. let’s say it’s 20% better (very generous imo). can they realistically 500x the model again? and if so, is that going to be worth an additional 4% gain to the original model quality? numbers are completely made up and math is probably wrong but i think i’m hopefully making my point, that diminishing returns will quickly become a blocker with this type of scaling.

Those are tradeoffs. Lifecycle methods had pros and cons. Hooks have other pros and cons. Lifecycle methods had the right pros and cons for most devs. Hooks are horrible for new devs, as they have to many gotchas, and there far too many people that just don't have the time to learn all the footguns of hooks.

So lifecycle methods had some other drawback? Yes, sure, but they were less than the drawbacks of hooks for most people.

Besides that, I've never had a problem with the quality of results (also use ad block by default) and if I can't find what I'm looking for, it means it's very obscure.

> Edit: seems like I have some views that are unpopular with the cowards who downvote comments without engaging in discussion.

Downvotes are to be expected on that topic as soon as one says something mildly against the prostitution "business"...

"Sex consumers" don't want to take responsibility for the damages they cause or the crimes they participate in, for them it's a "simple commercial transaction" between "consenting adults", forgetting all the coercive tactics pimps have been using for ages, the grooming, the drug addiction...

Of course it's a legal risk for any payment processor involved in that kind of "business".

Don't worry about the downvotes, your arguments are completely reasonable and nobody can silence you no matter how hard they try.
You're not supposed to say that part out loud.
