I was on the team that wrote the DirectX 3 and 5 drivers for the 740 (I wrote the vxds in assembly using MASM 6.11). It wasn't a GPU in today's terms (huge parallel vector engines), it was just a basic 3d pipeline: triangle pipe (with Gouraud lighting, 1st version didn't even have phong/specular) followed by rasterizer, with a 2D engine. You sent it triangles with aRGB color, and it interpolated and rasterized them. Dat's it. Total dud compared to Voodoo 3DFx or ATI Rage3D. But when we integrated it into the 810 chipset it became the main reason why 3D gaming was held back for a decade: it was the top selling graphics engine but it sucked so every game dev had to design for the lowest common denominator. It was never intended to be good. But it sure did result in the promotion of a lot of engineers to principal. (raises hand)
Agreed. If I'm buying anything of value online, I want to buy from someone who actually understands and cares about what they're selling.

ELI5. Does this mean money is being deposited in the banks but because it’s money market, it gets parked with the fed and banks can’t use it in other assets? Is that the problem?
> Somehow, we survived as a culture for centuries without exposing ourselves to thousands of profit-driven manipulations dumped on our living room carpet all day, every day.

Ehh, it takes some thick rose-tinted glasses to actually believe this. Every mainstream social medium – whether TV, radio, newspapers, your USPS mailbox or even a literal town square – has been full of this kind of manipulation since the second it came into existence. There was never a reason to believe that the internet would be any different.
In other words, the author wants a tool (actually a group of people) to which they can delegate the content filtering. Which is... understandable, as the amount of info noise isn't going to go down. I imagine he's aware of the downsides as well.

With the current LLM advancements, a smart filter for the info noise could be built. Sure, it would a bubble just like recommendation systems, but at least it's tweaked by you, and not created by someone else. (in theory, in practice it will be a black box SaaS)
> when really the objection could just be "the server-side code is non-free".

That's exactly it. The move to cloud / saas is very convenient as a way to alienate software users from the software. You can use it, but only in pre-approved ways. You can use it but only until the software gets cancelled (when that happens nobody else can use anymore, instantly). You can use it but don't ever think about modifying it for your needs.

Actually Stallman himself talks about this (like rebranding saas as "service as a software substitute" [0] rather than "software as a service") and that's really the crucial point, all the rest follows from Google's utter control of the software.

It's not like 90% of the work available to human commercial artists would even be there in the future with these developments...

Most customers currently paying an artist will just slap some quick AI stuff and call it a day.

Big customers might still make it a matter of prestige or pride or "quality" differentiator to use "real human art" from some famous graphic designers, but that is like 1/1000 of the commercial gigs going on today.
Unfortunately we aren’t so great at evaluating what an extraordinary claim is.

Oh, the "getting a single node cluster" up and running was easy, as you said.

It's just it wasn't clear from the initial docs I saw that a 3 -> 1 cluster would be considered any differently. Clearly, an error on my part. :)

I'll circle back to rqlite in a while, after I get this existing prototype code rolled out and see what people make of it. Hopefully it turns out to be useful for people.
It's a use case for merkle trees. Since the mere existence of the hash at a reasonably well-attested time is sufficient, you don't need the rest. A handful of central roots of various trees is fine, morally equivalent to announcing things with an ad in the newspaper.
I do recall being impressed by watson marketing at that time. What turned me off was that some of their cool examples were closed source and the whole developer platform felt buggy or under-documentated. Eventually watson faded away as i never saw other people using it. Now it feels like the whole purpose of watson was to make quick bucks to some ibm corporate dudes. Btw what else is ibm doing nowadays, other than riding its own brand and becoming increasingly irrelevant? When i hear ibm i associate it with old people who lost their craft in enterprise nonsense

Its as everyone is getting on the bandwagon, as what generative AI does is easier to understand for most people.

I was just browsing your site a few days ago; did you just push a UI update? It looks a lot better and is a lot more relaxing on the eyes (eye strain) that it was before. Looks great.
Definitely, but I put this in the "listen to all sides and think for yourself" bucket, which is (sadly) not something most people are willing to do.

If we could just get people who aren't informed to recognize that they're not informed and not have an opinion, that would be a huge win for civil discourse.

I am pretty confident in my ability to prove that the Earth is round. I have sufficient faith that politicians do not harvest blood from babies to perform magic rituals. Many others and I do have some way of knowing which conspiracy theories will never be proven true.

"The answer begins with money-market funds, low-risk investment vehicles that park money in short-term government and corporate debt. Such funds, which yield only slightly more than a bank account, saw inflows of $121bn last week as svb failed."

Xfinity never allowed users to turn off the box; it always went into sleep.
I’d guess that this is serious; this sort of thing is common so the corporate compliance department can make sure the company doesn’t accidentally cross the line from “gift” to “bribe” when account managers send tokens of their appreciation. (There are all sorts of limits, like “only $X per gift, cumulatively $Y per person per calendar year”.) Note that you apparently need a “Star Compliance code” to actually check out, so you can’t buy anything from here even if you wanted to.

On a related note, maybe five years ago I bumped into the Google employee swag store and discovered it was built on a platform that I happen to know is written in COBOL. There are all sorts of niche providers for random services that are needed by large companies.
Yes, I loved the direction Microsoft was going with their phones and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Continuum was insane - you would be able to plug in your phone to a USB-hub like dock with monitor and keyboard, and it would effective run a near-desktop Windows experience[1]. In 2015.

Tiles were also so ahead of their time it was insane.

Is it not difficult to know whether a conspiracy theory ends up being a conspiracy or on the other hand a belief ending up being an actual conspiracy and the only tool to suss things out is the passage of time?

"seemingly innocuous" is an impersonal construction referring to the reader, but not any reader in particular.

The Fed itself, at least some presidents thereof, was aware of this risk. Toward the end of the article:

"When the reverse-repo facility was set up, Bill Dudley, president of the New York Fed at the time, worried it could lead to the “disintermediation of the financial system”. During a financial crisis it could exacerbate instability with funds running out of riskier assets and onto the Fed’s balance-sheet."
Money in Fidelity money market funds is protected by the SIPC, up to $500k.

Specifically, for their cash management accounts:
“Cash balances in the Fidelity® Cash Management Account are swept into an FDIC-Insured interest bearing account at one or more program banks and, under certain circumstances, a money market mutual fund (the "Money Market Overflow"). Deposits swept into the program bank(s) are eligible for FDIC Insurance, subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits. Balances that are swept to the Money Market Overflow are not eligible for FDIC insurance but are eligible for SIPC coverage under SIPC rules (referenced below). Fidelity automatically performs all transfers between the program banks and your account. You cannot access your funds directly from a program bank.” [1]

More detail:
“Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) - All Fidelity brokerage accounts are automatically protected by the SIPC. SIPC protects brokerage accounts of each customer when a brokerage firm is closed due to bankruptcy or other financial difficulties and customer assets are missing from accounts, including a limit of up to $500,000 in securities with a maximum of $250,000 on claims for cash awaiting investment. Money market funds held in a brokerage account are considered securities. For more information, visit sipc.org.” [2]

The problem is to be impacted negatively doesn't necessary mean "I've grown big enough to have more inquiries than i could serve anyway".

It could just mean AI can imitate above a certain "good enough" level the kind of style you and others working in a similar vain do (say "whimsical children illustrations") and all other styles besides, so once-would-have-been-customers now just use some AI stuff with a generic prompt.

In other words, AI aet doesn't have to request your specific name to affect you. It's enough that it provides art for many/most gigs that would now go to a human illustrator.

It would be hard to see just "good developments" when paying gigs dry out.

Not all journalism is created equal. I've found that NYT's The Daily coverage of SVB has been rife with misinformation and editorialization. They picked a controversial narrative du jour and expected the listeners to be stupid enough to believe whatever lies or spin they say.

> but it still didn’t include information that would answer questions about how the bot was trained

If the hidden prompt includes information identifying the model, and the chatbot has web search/browsing ability (since it probaby won’t have data scraped about itself in its training set), the combination can give it the ability to find and present information about itself.
Well, Adobe are publishers of the stock images so they can enforce such terms. What I mean is that the person selling a stock image to Adobe, Getty, Shutterstock or whoever has no say on what happens to it afterward. The publisher is going to assert universal rights in exchange for cash. If they narrow their own terms as in your example above, they don't necessarily create any sort of duty to the seller whose photo rights they purchased.

I should have been clearer and specified sale of rights rather than licensing of a stock image in my original reply, which I now realize is confusing.

Companies certainly can offer more narrow terms/commitments about what the stock images can or cannot be used for if they want to, but economically they're incentivized to maximize their own freedom, and not to negotiate a complex bundle of rights for individual images. Of course for journalistic and artistic images that are unique in some way, the original creator can negotiate.

No. I know there are plenty of things in the "could be substantiated" camp. I very intentionally am not interested in discussing those.

Your claim is that we have no way of discerning between "impossible" and "possible" conspiracy theories, which is wrong.

Most popular conspiracy theories remain just that, if not provably false. Horrible events do not compute for most, and they reach for alternate answers.

> today's "conspiracy theory" is tomorrow's verified fact.

How many tomorrows will we be waiting through to finally verify that the moon landing was faked, that the UN has a plan to invade the US using black helicopters, we're all being poisoned/mind-controlled by chemtrails, deepwater horizon was a false flag operation by environmental activists, Barack Obama was born in Kenya, and Sandy Hook was invented and staged by crisis actors?

> "conspiracy theory" has always been a term of propaganda and rhetoric

"Conspiracy theory" as a label has a substantial meaning. They usually require the existence of hidden powers, thrive on being outside/rhetorically above the mainstream, resist falsification ("the lack of evidence is exactly what we'd expect if powerful people were covering it up!").

The label can be used in bad faith, but so can names for rhetorical fallacies.

The former suggests the latter is not true, unless it is generative images provably using the likeness of an actual specific child. (Of course, the Supreme Court can go against its prior precedent, but assuming it will do so is not usually the best prediction unless there have been some very clear signals.)
