It sounds stupid because it's a completely different thing.

A tool maker does not have a claim on the work made with a tool, except by (exceptionally rare) prior agreement.

Creative copyright explicitly does give creators a claim on derivative work made using their creative output.

That includes patents. If you use a computer protected by patents to create new items which specifically ignore those patents, see how far that gets you.

I expect you find this inconvenient, but it's how it works.
I was wondering today if we would start to see the reverse of this. Small ASICS or some kind of optimized for LLM Gpu for desktop / or maybe even laptops of mobile. It is evident I think that LLM are here to stay and will be a major part of computing for a while. Getting this local, so we aren't reliant on clouds would be a huge boon for personal computing. Even if its a "worse" experience, being able to load up an LLM into our computer, tell it to only look at this directory and help out would be cool.
This is difficult. Few ideas.
1. Ask ChatGPT to review your code
2. Start contributing to open source projects where you can get your PR's reviewed.
3. Use https://codereview.stackexchange.com/
Anecdotally I have seen that from around 50 on people don’t communicate with the CEO anymore but through some middle managers. If these middle managers aren’t really good, the company starts splitting into different camps that don’t communicate anymore.
Mostly driver convenience. I drive a mid-tier VW with infotainment, power seats, satellite navigation, etc. If I don't drive the car after a few days it takes a few minutes for the car to fully boot up. No radio, GPS, climate control goes full blast, and it won't know what my power seat settings are. Now imagine having to do that every time you pull the key out, run in the supermarket, and go back to the car.

We're demanding a lot from the car battery lately and the BMS needs to know where it stands.
> Alice and Bob are playing, Bob leaves, Alice hides his toy, Bob comes back, where does he look for his toy?

I might be dumber than the AI because I don't know the answer. Bob looks around? I mean the toy is not there when he comes back. Where else can he check?
There is one more use case not covered by smartphones but actually covered by fixed-lens cameras - taking photos in rainy weather (which in some parts of the world is hard to avoid) or underwater. While there are waterproof smartphones, capacitive touchscreen becomes unusable as soon as it catches even a few drops of rain or water from wet fingers. A camera like Fujifilm XP140 works well in rain as long as there are no drops on the lens and under water if you want to make a shot of marine life.

And while there are gloves which allows to use touchscreen using it in the snow is not the best experience either - pressing a physical button is easier.

I expect many smartphones to have quality better then this camera but in some conditions it's hard/impossible to use a smartphone. And quality is enough to capture some moments from a family vocation.
If I see an obviously AI generated face (and these are pretty obvious), I'm going to assume the person is non-existent and whatever communication they've had with me is a scam.
I heard he cleaned up his act and is back in the industry, has a kid even. But I can't confirm that, heard it years ago on IRC. Maybe he's on HN even?
It's misleading because, practically speaking, the type of people who are after the performance you advertise, are running clusters to begin with. So what you are selling is just a simplified stack that lets you not have to manage one more "system". That's fair but you could mention that? Or atleast acknowledge that if you repeat these tests with redis cluster the results will be wildly different and you wont have those crazy looking charts.

For example it's like me claiming that my new python web framework is X faster than Flask because it comes bundles with uwsgi. Yes, technically mine is faster, but its not a fair comparison.
The counterargument on large projects is there's so much coordination between different groups that the location of the "fat" becomes opaque and difficult to identify.
He mentions specifically that for machine learning its performance was underwhelming.

Now he mentions tensor flow which probably has very different requirements than running an LLM. But the point about the toolchain is a good one IMO.

Also, running an LLM is pretty niche for now since there are no open models yet (meta's is only an unofficial leak)
Stable Diffusion / Stability AI is going to have a hard time in court trying to defend their model being trained on copyrighted content against Getty Images and other artists.
I hope this applies globally and not only to Switzerland. The bonus structure is quite different between Switzerland and other countries some of which have very high bonuses payouts by CS.
So, I will try it once I have time, but how doable is it to bent this thing to your will? Because the main problem I have with latex is that I am often trying to do something, which it just isn't made to handle.

For example, I often find lots of hyphens and justified text hard to read, so I try to get latex to not use justified text and to never hyphenate.

However, latex seems to be really bad when you want to do unconventional stuff like that, having to use hackey workarounds which often cause errors all over the place.
this feels like some hellish thing you would be faced with when you first try to use a bus in germany. so in that sense you have succeeded!
It's really not. The overall tone is "You don't know anything about finance/accounting as an inexperienced leader but that's okay! - Just outsource it! Oh and here are some tidbits so you can pass off as knowledgeable in conversation"
It seems that intelligence also is about explanation, apart from prediction. Humans not just try to predict future evidence from current evidence, or use the current evidence to confirm given hypotheses, but they also try to find an hypothesis which best explains this evidence. It's not quite clear how explanation would relate to compression.
Oh no, the evil CPC will know what shitty dances American teenagers are doing.

So wait, you're saying that people should just accept that headlines are uselessly hyperbolic, and either (A) click every one of them to see if they're worth your time or (B) never click any, to avoid "biting" and getting "baited"?

Eminently practical approach, but we can hope for a better world where this isn't necessary...
Neat! I also used a bloom filter as a temporal spatial index, different problem but the property that they can be merged into a tree is very nice.

"unit, corps, god, country"

My first job out of college was at a ~100 person firm that quickly grew to 200, when I left. The culture I was hoping to join was notably different when I got there (at 120 people) and especially when I left (at ~200). That culture change, and the different expectations, really surprised me at the time.
> Which will likely increase inflation further.

This is a myth perpetuated by people who simply want to suppress incomes to get slightly higher profits. It's the Tyranny of Austrian Economists combined with Reagan-era trickle-down economics and deregulation that have caused real wages to stagnate for 40 years.

> Why is penalizing successful businesses a good idea?

Why is a good idea that only people with incomes pay income taxes?

Why is it a better idea that everyone pays taxes instead of only those who are profitable paying some of those profits in taxes?
Mongo has the same meaning in English, but as a Millennial, I've literally never heard this used in real life, only seen it referred to as an old insult. So it's quite likely that the founders and early users of MongoDB knew it was an insult.
It's a relatively uncommon scenario, granted, but when you multiply those odds by the number of screenshots that get shared on a daily basis, it's pretty bad imho.
This is why America's obsession with trying to boost math scores is possibly a waste of time and money. No amount of math literacy will ever approach anything like this. Those who are gifted and motivated enough will learn the material anyway and there are enough professors who can teach it.

People who are professionals are so way far above and beyond anything done by non-professionals. It's not like that with reading or writing, in which knowing how to read means you can in theory appreciate almost any book.

I think more emphasis should be on learning the basics, which enough kids find hard enough to do. No reason to try to make high schoolers learn algebra 1 & 2.
You make excellent points, and in a world were we know that people will remember accusations and not subsequent exonerations, it would be humane to delay reporting on the kind of accusation that will ruin a person’s life.

The problem is that Rolling Stone plays favorites. In a recent incident they ran the false headline “CPAC Speaker Calls for Transgender People to Be Eradicated,” about someone that they didn’t like and who wasn’t a friend of the editor in chief. After being threatened with a lawsuit for this libel, they changed the headline. I don’t think they can be trusted.
A Newfound Discomfort with Hypertext
> Overwork?

I don't know anyone working at Google, nor anyone who worked at Google in the past (except a single intern). Hell, I don't even live anywhere near a Google campus!

But I always assumed that Google wants you to spend your whole day there, from morning until evening. Because big tech is usually implicitly aiming at that.

- Serve three major meals a day, + you can bring your dog to your office, which eliminates any reason to go home (especially for those who don't have a house or spouse to take care of).

- Shuttle bus, where many employees have like, idk, 40min of free time? Why not just start working on the laptop already?

- Food servings are stretched out. Breakfast is till 10AM; dinner is served at 6:30PM, so if you started at 8:30AM, you need to stay another 1.5h to make use of dinner. Why not work in the meantime?

And some classical fear stuff which makes you want to work hard and long hours:

- Aggressive deadlines

- Get the promotion in 2 years or get fired

I dunno, I probably wouldn't mind working under these conditions, but I think there are reasons why the average tenure of a Googler is 1.5 years.

Everything. But the mere presence of "equivalents" doesn't make pure functional programming less valuable.
Right Lume is a low to no code tool (see demo), but we have gotten requests for an SDK. Creating a library / SDK is in our radar! If anyone has personal or company use cases for a library / SDK, please email founders@lume.ai, we'd love to learn more.
There is a subscription, their free tier is everything you need. I pay them a few (10?) euros a year, because their product is good.
Shouldn't this be up to UBS?
People familliar with LaTeX will use it in places where it is definitely not required and sometimes even where it’s arguably not a very good fit, such as for presentation slides, illustrated posters laid out in complicated ways, or in one notable case a diagramming package with automatic graph layout, plotting, symbols for circuits, and a boatloat of other things (TikZ).

It might be difficult to believe given the unfriendly failure modes characteristic of a macroexpander and an abundance of dusty corners, but LaTeX really is very convenient for a proficient user when the problem fits (e.g. not a magazine).
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I found most of the animations in this article to go too fast. I couldn't tell what was happening, couldn't tell what I was supposed to be looking at.
My girlfriend works public service. The only lazy coworkers she has are Ron Swanson types taking it upon themselves to make public work shittier because they believe the government shouldn't do anything.

echoing others in saynig that this copy resonates:

> There are no-code tools for onboarding (e.g. Pendo, Appcues, Intercom), but they’re rigid and clumsy. They’re built for marketers and managers rather than developers, so they sit on top of your product instead of feeling native. They’re not defined in your codebase, frequently break without teams noticing, and there are limits to what you can build with them. Unlike these tools, Frigade uses native SDKs and provides an API for developers to build new onboardings in code.

pls keep it and keep going. congrats on launch
Yeah, and it was way worse in the era of yellow journalism… but this is all beside the point.

We’re on a backslide where journalists are far more shameless than eg. 10-30 years ago.
A lot of it is untested legal area. A maintainer might choose to reject such patches out of precaution rather than spend time & money on a lawyer trying to clear it up (with no guarantee it will be correct).
In the olden days before Satya Nadella. Microsoft was a bloodsucking vampire of a company that couldn't execute anything of significance, but they had a pretty solid research department.

Google could ofcourse sit on a much better version that isn't safe or economic, but they could also just be unable to do better. Good research department, but unable to execute anything significant. Time will tell I guess :)

Exactly. There was some talk of this on some government aviation projects where our company was generally outbid by competitors who would allegedly low-ball the development costs, then when the project inevitably ran out of money, just request more from the government. It was really frustrating to our PMs who tried to bid honestly and lost a lot of business because of it.
Sure, but infeasible is decided by the business. Their choice is either to not distribute anymore (and potentially pay damages for past infringement) or distribute in line with the license.
Don't make things up.

Recommended slope for drainage on concrete and asphalt is .25-.5:12, or 1/4" to 1/2" over 1' of length.

Recommended slope for wheelchair ramps are 1-1.5:12, or 1" to 1.5" over 1' of length.

IKEA adds stock-counting drones to more of its stores
Unfortunately, public projects also have to manage public perception. Just like you wouldn't appreciate, say, a roofing estimate to be later called a "down payment," the public in general doesn't like that approach either. "We don't know how much it'll cost but just trust us and let's just get started" isn't a particularly palatable sales pitch, especially in domains with a long history of corruption.
Wouldn't the skill in using the tool matter? GH Copilot, so far, has been kind of meh for me - the instances where it produces something actually useful, even after giving it lots of hints, were pretty rare until now. But, two or three generations down the line, it might actually be a tool capable of making a difference. Then, just like with Google when it appeared, people who can work with that tool effectively will be in demand for some time, until either the tool is deliberately broken or something better comes up.
Dunbar's Number is about 150 people, right?

This is HUGE. Actually amazing. Bing brought AI to the masses. Being Microsoft makes it more okay for companies to use etc in logos and shit
Hey there! Thanks for your feedback, we should've have been more clear. What our extension allows you to do on VS Code is:

- Go to a file / highlight a block of code you want to understand at depth

- We take the commit hashes for the lines selected (the whole file if no LOC selected)

- We pass those commit hashes as a parameter to the GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket API to obtain all the associated PRs

- We sort those PRs by relevance (using number of comments as the heuristic)

- With the title of that PR, we search for the Slack threads and Jira tickets most closely associated to that PR title (if you optinally integrated Slack and/or Jira)

- We aggregate to a GPT prompt the title and body of the most relevant piece of info from each source, to finally generate a summary of that code context.
I have spent probably too much time trying to gain a comfortable level of proficiency with LaTex and I have not been able too. Maybe I just don't use it often enough but I always now find myself just using HTML/CSS instead. Even when the thing I'm laying out is specifically just something to be printed.

I feel similarly about LaTeX and Vim. I like them. They are interesting. I appreciate the history around their development and use. But I just cannot convince myself they are worth learning.
There is some criticism of Dunbar which I can't evaluate. Even if the specifics are inaccurate within it, there seems to be some truth to how sets of humans scale. I like the Alex Komoroske presentation below about "coordination headwind" as an explanation that doesn't need evolutionary psychology to work. It is easy to understand and deep enough to be well worth paging through periodically.

The ideas started when I was studying the emergent power dynamics of Wikipedia's user community in undergrad, and were also informed by participating in web standards. I believe they are not specific to any one context, but rather emerge inherently any time there are individuals with autonomy who care deeply. Instead of ignoring these dynamics, I think it's important to acknowledge and embrace them with a sense of compassion and openness.
I think so. They've been through generations of fighting, from internal to external, and people are tired. Religion, and the extremism of the Taliban's doctrine is also very pervasive and not something to be underestimated.

To contrast this, if you go to Kabul people wear jeans, go to nightclubs, women attend university - it's very modern and still Muslim. Most of what I've described occurs in the rural parts of Afghanistan which are predominately not served by Afghanistan's government and are thus co-opted by the Taliban and other groups.
No because CS already got $50B help before the acquisition
It depends on how you get hit and how do you land. Cars builders have pedestrian safety in mind as they get NCAP ratings for it. If you are lucky, maybe not that much damage. On the other hand full frontal collision with a bus is probably not good for you as there is nowhere for you slide or bounce off to lose some of the energy. Bike is similar to bus as there is no way for you to 'gently' (no 'soft' metal to bend or curves to steer you off it) lose some of the energy.
I was going to write the same comment. That’s a great book!
> The resulting corrosion allowed mixing of oil and coolant.

Why is that unrelated?
I see, thanks! That's pretty neat.
And can’t they currently set whatever rate they want for that still?
Not to say people haven’t done it, though, and with enough willingness to adapt the syntax of the host language it can work quite well[1,2,perhaps 3].

U mean the law written by CCP and used by CCP? In China where rule of law is a joke?

That's right Jack Ma lost the company because he broke the law, not because he dared to step out of the line with Ants Financial.

If you are a CCP shill, I don't care what you say; If you are not, do more research
The two cards show as two distinct GPUs to the host, connected via NVLink. Unification / load balancing happens via software.
Marco, you're probably going to want to rethink your branding. It sounds like you're associated SQLite officially, when AFAIK this isn't the case (?)

The code is open source, but the name is a registered trademark. Similar issue here:

That’s always been happening. Only real difference is now you can write a blog post calling it out and nobody cares (and you aren’t assassinated) because everyone is onto the latest hotness.

I also don’t think the public unquestionably consumes everything, getting people to wear a mask has been unfashionably difficult. It’s just that while it’s easier to misinform now, it’s also harder to correctly inform people. There’s a general distrust now of everything, insular bubbles created by algorithms, and rising anti intellectualism to boot. All of this creates the perfect storm to post whatever whenever without much care even if the real world consequences are great.
It's possible the only people who bought were technothriller enthusiasts, but I think it's likely that at least some of them are not.

Traffic spikes are actually a common occurrence in book sales. My understanding is that some of the most effective marketing is through paid newsletter inclusion – sites like BookBub/Freebooksy/Fussy Librarian. These newsletters absolutely drive big spikes in traffic, and the conversion rate is going to correlate well with how well the book will sell overall. It's possible Amazon does something with the referrer to try to segment these kinds of traffic, but impossible to know from the outside.

If you just want to move copies, you should look at the Facebook group 20BooksTo50k. It has lots of informative posts by self-published authors doing six figures in annual sales. I can distill it down for you though. The people finding "quit your job" levels of success generally:

- write to market

- in a consistent genre

- for several years

- and publish five or more books per year, mostly in a series.

Some people reach that level of success faster, though they tend to be in the largest genres (mainly romance), or publishing at truly breakneck speed (a book or more per month).

Personally, I write things that don't slot quite cleanly into a genre, and I have a tendency to genre hop. I know it's sub-optimal, but I'm pretty sure I'd just burn out trying to do it the other way.

I'm also not yet at the point where I can write work I'm proud of at that velocity; the last book I wrote took me two months to get a first draft, and it's probably going to take another two months to get it to a "finished" state. So I'm on a "three books a year" pace, and it already feels exhausting/I may need to slow down.
i mean i assume if you gated things by city, the i x m x n isn't that high that you cant do a naive inefficient implementation rather than using bloom filters. but hey whatever rocks your boat! would be better if you had a live/standing service so pple can try it out
If you ask Bard if it uses Federated Learning[1] it will say it does. Google is pretty good at doing this type of continuous model training. They've been doing it for a while.

> Some of these companies have disrupted and dominated markets due to venture subsidies, not sound and profitable business models

That benefits consumers who get subsidised low prices.
Can you name some? It always seems like some sort of open secret until its too late. There was some discussion about Oxide Computers being one of these companies.
Well, yes. That's well known. CEOs need to know this.
