Alternatively, there's more developer output, the unit price of an application gets cheaper, and this stimulates demand for more developers. CPUs getting cheaper and faster didn't decrease demand for CPUs.

Moving to these sorts of PAYE systems was a _huge_ project back in the day, and the US never did it. Arguably, given the incredibly messy state of US tax (federal, state and city, all with terribly complex rules and far more credits/exemptions than ~any European country) it _would_ be a lot less practical there, in any case.

There is a phrase my kids use for this: go touch grass. I think it comes from video game culture where someone spends 247 playing games and never goes outside. It’s meant as like an insult. Have you even touched grass today?
Ok, so we have that software written by AI, AI is clever, it does not need good variable names or functions/methods/class names, some of the stuff it will call according to passed specification so it will be understandable, but the further it goes, everything will get more generic, taken from kirjillion of other code snippets on Github. And it all will be working.

Until someone starts testing this and finds a bug. And then AI will say, hey, there is no bug, I don't make mistakes. So you need a human to look on the code, a huge pile of spaghetti code with cryptic names and conventions, code patterns that fell out of fashion years ago but, since there is a lot of code that uses them, AI thinks they are ok.

How long it will take to fix anything, how long it will take to extend the code?

Even if those were sorted, you probably want to hold out for homomorphic encryption. The threat model of Amazon having all your data is much different from the threat model of anyone willing to bid cheaply enough on a lambda execution having it. OTOH in the latter case, we can probably expect three letter agencies all over the world to be generously subsidizing our compute (for example, by reselling GovCloud at a loss).

From the paper:

“Aghajanyan et al. (2020) shows that the pre-trained language models have a low “instrisic dimension” and can still learn efficiently despite a random projection to a smaller subspace.”

Would be great to have an informed practitioner comment (sota) on why we opt for random projection. Is the actual ‘intrinsic’ vector space uncomputable? Too slow to find?
yeah but that's because there is human creative work in the write ups of the copyrighted work, a court might liken this more to a phone book which which doesn't add any (human) creative expression on top of it.
> I just want to die.

Good news! You definitely will - it happens to all of us. I'm sorry if this comes across as glib or dismissive, but during the times when I was considering an early exit, it really helped me to consider that nobody gets out alive.

Whatever peace or oblivion you hope to find will be yours someday. Does it really have to be today? Is there nothing left in the world that you would like to experience first? Nothing you'd like to contribute or build?

You speak a lot of failure, but the unspoken corollary is that you've been _trying_. That's worth something. Quite a lot actually. Given that you are fighting against despair, one of the most powerful and insidious enemies of life, you can rightly claim every day as a victory.

If one day, you are too tired and hurt to continue, there is no shame in that. But I would encourage you to take pride in the victories you've accrued so far, and not to dismiss them simply because you haven't expelled the specter of despair entirely. It's a hard fight, but you're less alone than you think, and there are joys and surprises awaiting you that you cannot predict.
> You have to hear and feel the theory, it's not only intellectual.

This is the most important part, for sure. The theory needs to get into your body.

I'd also suggest to the OP to find a teacher that specializes in jazz, because the practice of improvisation requires you to embody that theory. A good teacher that focuses on improvisation will help you navigate through all the different building blocks you need, which happens to be theory.

I studied your typical classical piano as a kid, abandoned it in college, and later in life came back to it with a jazz improvisation teacher. It's amazing how little you actually learn about music when all you're doing is reading sheet music as a kid. Now when I go back to play, say, Bach, I can see so many other things going on since I've spent so much time hearing and feeling the improv theory.

There's also a great YouTube channel I've been watching, based around the teaching theory of Barry Harris: https://www.youtube.com/@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616

Ketamine is amazing. I went through a period of severe depression and suicidal thoughts. Psilocybin was the start, but ketamine was the cure.
The point is not whether it's better or worse, but the price with paid and sacrifices we made along the way, because things were moving too fast and with too little control.
The worst documented outbreak was actually in Czechoslovakia:

1056/NEJM196606302742605. PMID 5939846. - Červa, L.; Novák, K. (April 1968). "Ameobic meningoencephalitis: sixteen fatalities". Science. 160 (3823): 92.

That said, I feel fairly safe, because I

a) run the water through a fine filter < 1 micron first,

b) boil it anyway, just to be sure,

c) these amoebas don't like cold running water and tend to live in warmer, stagnant waters only, so a typical municipal water system won't be infested.
While chat is intuitive interface to start with. I think we'll see more integration of these NLP models in traditional tools, like we saw with Adobe Firefly and Unreal Engine. That way users retain the control for fine tuning and doing problem specific tasks, but also gain this superpower of doing many actions with few words.

Key thing for adoption is to make models smaller and more context specific (to make them smaller), we've seen how LLaMA was downsized to run on commodity PCs, we've seen how Stable Diffusion can run on mobile phones. Even when we have to use larger models remotely, cost and ownership matters.
You might get a bit more time hidden in a hole in the woods, clutching a shotgun. But only a few weeks.
It's not just sitcom _material_, didn't this actually _happen_ in Seinfeld? George had to get back together with a horrible tax lawyer because Jerry was being audited, IIRC.
If model weights become non-copyrightable, it'll lead to an incredible shift in the industry.

When model weights leak, anyone can pick them up and run with them. It's not like code, where you have to set up an entire bespoke infrastructure, microservices, data dependencies, etc. Models are crystalized, perfectly distilled functionality with a single interface.

You'll start to see more leaks, companies building off the work of other companies, etc. Part of me thinks this would lead to faster, more distributed innovation.
Wow this reads like the hunger games are starting and the people who were on top before might not want to advertise that!
> I am drawing out the explanation way more than they expected to be necessary. The social norm is to think or at least act like you understand immediately when you really don't.

I have wrestled with this since I was a child. For a long time I felt I was frequently missing information everyone else was picking up on (which was surely true in some cases, but not all)-- it even led to a brief delusion where I became paranoid about a large subpopulation of telepaths living alongside us, with access to their own hidden world containing significantly richer detail and depth, who pitied disadvantaged individuals like me.

Turns out a whole lot of people have simply felt forced into faking deeper understanding due to pressures of social competition, and gotten really good at it. Like an arms race of bullshitting. A facade of wisdom and knowledge.

Like you, I've often been accused of 'over-explaining' - which many do in fact find annoying - but we only do it because we've found it's necessary to avoid miscommunication.

So, thanks for writing your comment, I feel slightly better about the situation now.

Oculus is between a rock and a hard place. The rock being consoles that want their own native VR solutions and aren't interested in sharing their cut of games etc and the hard place being Steam.

You just can't compete with Steam. It's been tried. All competitors are mercilessly drowned in the giant fucking moat surrounding GabeN's castle.

PC gamers are fiercely loyal, "generally" more informed then other consumers and absolutely despise any forms of dark patterns. Because Steam has always done right by PC gamers Steam has benefited from that loyalty for a good 2 decades now.

Everyone is welcome in GabeN's castle but y'all gotta pay the toll to cross the drawbridge.
You become a 'senior dev" by running a company / startup yourself, since it is clear that after the tech layoffs, almost no-one has the money or profits to hire any new developers - junior and senior, which is why I say they are both affected.

But even then, self-proclaimed seniors are too scared to start their own startup(s) now because of (1) Unfavourable market conditions (2) VCs hesitant to raise money (3) ChatGPT will extinguish their startup; even if it uses "AI".

I guess this was the result of a decades long quantitive easing, near zero interest rate bubble of cheap money that had to collapse.
The exciting thing to me is that if there is enough demand, someone can make a keyboard module without having to make a whole laptop.

Then again, the main issue of Bazel is that it’s complex to setup. If you already have the know how internally, it’s a reasonably good and well supported build system. It’s definitely better than cargo when it comes to caching and the breadth of targets available. Plus cargo is strictly limited to rust.
The generally accepted way to learn music reading is to use the mnemonics like FACE and Every Good Boy Does Fine for the treble clef. So, basically, you need memorization with drilling to get you to associate the lines and spaces with notes.

But there is an alternate method [1] in which you learn a small number of reference lines and spaces, and learn the remainder as being separated by so many steps up or down from the references. You'll still need to drill and practice, but maybe this will feel more natural to you. Anecdotally, I can tell you that I used the mnemonics for a very long time and still made occasional dumb mistakes, but then I used the reference notes method and noticeably improved my sight reading.

Not an informed/sota practitioner, but isn't this just a standard property of high dimensional spaces?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_projection

> The core idea behind random projection is given in the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma, which states that if points in a vector space are of sufficiently high dimension, then they may be projected into a suitable lower-dimensional space in a way which approximately preserves the distances between the points.
Will ChatGPT trainig data be forever stopped in 2021?
I think they stopped getting new online data as they saw the potential of their model in creating more content and does not want training the model with its own content. Am i wrong?

Prove email and phone are required in online services
I'll pay you $160 if you can prove mathematically that the only way to offer online services without spam is by requiring people to provide an email address or a phone number. That would be an interesting result.

If this can't be proven mathematically and you are an online service then please answer: why must online services require users to provide an email address or a phone number to get service? Why is no other option offered to the user?

Why is it impossible for a human to use online services while not having an email or a phone?

Such a good point about needing to feel it.

For intuitive interval training you can try this app (I built).

https://harmonyoscillators.brianfogg.com/

Essentially it’s two tunable sine wave oscillators and a simple waveform visualizer. you can manually tune the oscillators to any interval, gradually slide things in/out of tune, select intervals from from scales and see the mathematical calculations generated by various tunings. You can also run it in binaural mode (pure tone in each ear).

When I was teaching piano and music theory I used this tool to help students practice active listening for beat frequency and harmony. Maybe it can be useful to some of you.
There's nothing "simply" here. The weights in question are a particular configuration of several gigabytes worth of data. They're not random. Getting anything comparable by randomly generating a number this long is a "total atoms in the universe to the power of total atoms in the universe" kind of a deal.

In abstract terms, those weights are by far the most dense form of meaning we've ever dealt with.
Hard agree.

Like sibling commenters, I love the idea of building something new with greater leverage. On an individual level, I'm looking forward to leveling up and finding new ways to be effective in my work.

Unlike sibling commenters, I don't think that should be our only option in life. It saddens me greatly that, given a new option to increase the effective output of a unit of time, we repeatedly choose as a society to profit monetarily (and with vast disparity in who benefits) rather than to give people more options in life than drilling on their jobs.

The industrial revolution promised people lives of relative leisure by replacing the need for much physical labor, but instead we concentrated the benefit to the few—and we keep making that same choice over and over.

Honestly, I don’t see how anyone really paying attention can draw this conclusion. Take a look at the kinds of questions on the benchmarks and the AP exams. Independent reasoning is the key thing these tests try to measure. College entrance exams are not about memorization and regurgitation. GTP-4 scores a 1400 on the SAT.
I'm not suggesting your work is the only source of fulfillment or that one's career should be the sole measure of their self-worth. Rather, the importance of finding value and meaning in one's work is a complementary means of achieving personal fulfillment and happiness. It is still possible to find value and meaning in jobs that do not align with a person's interests or passions. The key is to find a balance between work and other aspects of life.
Considering the quality, definitely not.
The US was in the unique situation of never having to face existential consequences for its nationalism and militarism the way the rest of the world did after World War 2, having escaped the war relatively unscathed. We see ourselves as Superman punching Hitler, instead of the middleman who bought up every Nazi and Japanese war criminal we could get our hands on, and parleyed the world's losses into superpower status through loans and asserting military and business hegemony.

Unfortunately the fetish for violence in American culture is baked into the core of American identity and has been since the Second Amendment and the archetype of the armed American revolutionary patriot was seared into the zeitgeist. Americans love Dirty Harry and Jack Bauer and the gritty, no-nonsense cowboy who shoots first and asks questions never.

I mean, just look at our response to 9/11. That should have been an opportunity to reflect on the policies that brought that kind of retribution about, and a chance to reconsider our assumptions about the world and our effect on it. Or at least to bring the world together under a rare common bond of global unity and do something good. Instead our jackass cowboy President said "you're either with us or with the terrorists" and went all Yosemite Sam across Iraq. We'll put a boot in yer ass 'cause it's the American way.

We're insulated as a culture (despite our bragging about our guns and revolutionary spirit, it's mostly bravado) and depressingly immature. It's no wonder our police are the way they are.
He keeps highlighting the lower rungs of entry into the repair business are going away. That is what happens when an industry matures. Many more people are doing this business and so the market gets cornered towards the more mature businesses who have been doing this a long time.

Louis has been creating repair videos inspiring others to take on this profession. And this is a problem of his making. Many players in the business means the source company is less resistant to hurting a few of them.

Other business opportunities are still open like iPhone repair, or airpod repair.
I agree. It's not even about efficiently utilising resources. If we process things in timeslices that immediately kills any bad effects variability has on the workload. Small jobs go fast even if a big job happened to arrive in front of it.

(Of course, it's still a tradeoff between context switching overhead and the magnitude of the variability, but fundamentally even a tiny level of timeslicing can be a huge improvement.)

Yes, GitHub's announcement provides the correct new public RSA key, and it also provides instructions for a curl invocation which does all the work if you don't trust yourself to copy-paste text or don't understand how.
Git provides the ability for authors to sign their commits with their own private key. To ensure the integrity of code in a repository, this method should be relied on rather than whatever hosting provider(s) have a copy of the repository.

Requiring all commits to be signed by trusted keys avoids the risks associated with someone tampering with a repository hosted on GitHub if they are able to get access to it, although it doesn't protect against code being leaked.
