> HTML was from the start and always has been designed to specify UIs.

Of course it wasn't. These attempts to retcon hitory of the web are more and more prevalent these days.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented world wide web and the first versions of HTML for a very specific goal in mind: to share and link textual documents (specifically, research papers).

From the man himself:

"We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities. The aim would be to allow a place to be found for any information or reference which one felt was important, and a way of finding it afterwards

https://www.w3.org/History/1989/proposal.html

It was designed in order to make it possible to get at documentation and in order to be able to get people — students working with me, contributing to the project, for example — to be able to come in and link in their ideas, so that we wouldn’t lose it all if we didn’t debrief them before they left. Really, it was designed to be a collaborative workspace for people to design on a system together.

That's only because they got called out on it.
And what of the time, money, and environmental resources used by the customer who must spend more time estimating the reliability of irrelevant reviews and have to make time to schedule and execute a return? Doesn't that also take from "growing food, producing shoes, building homes, providing accounting services," and consuming more products -- and with much less efficiency and predictability?

What a great example! As a recent astronomy enthusiast, I found myself doubting this comment initially ("well, eclipses ARE related"), and this despite the fact that I have a toy tellurion right by my desk.

But hearing a particular phrase in the below video helped correct my model. One sanity check is that you can see non-full moons during the day (although I definitely would have just assumed it was still a matter of angles).

I'd go one step further if it is not happening yet: smaller companies should really pool their resources to train open LLMs. Say, form a consortium and work with the open source community to build ChatGPT-equivalent. Companies will be crazy to assume that they can hand their future to the APIs offered by a handful of companies during this monumental technological paradigm shift in history.

That is, a real OpenAI with a open government body.

Things I love about Iceland compared to the US

- Almost zero crime

- Police, I only saw three cars in nine days

- No one can carry a gun

- All citizens (free healthcare) well paid compared to US

- Hot water from a faucet comes directly from the ground

- Geothermal govt run bathhouses in each neighborhood for after work socializing.

- Hike to an active volcano or to a hot river to bathe in

- Beautiful outdoor scenery

- The Northern Lights

One negative is it's expensive i.e. a large pizza from a pizzeria here in the states will run you $12 to $15 while there it's $21 to $25.

Probably, but using a transformer isn’t Open AI’s advantage. A widely available language model with “emergent abilities” is Open AI’s advantage. The fact that it’s a transformer is more of an implementation detail.

I agree that they have not lowered rates. However as the chart shows they did dramatically increase the Fed’s balance sheet in the past two weeks. They did this in order to facilitate loans to banks who have underwater assets on a mark to market basis.

It would be one thing if they were lending to banks based on the current market value of the assets, but instead they are letting the banks pretend the assets are worth what they would be if held to maturity. So both the Fed and the banks are playing pretend.

We can argue about whether or not this is inflationary. I suppose it would depend on what these funds are used for. It certainly isn’t as inflationary as if the Fed had simply given this money to consumers to spend.

However, I do think it is an error to ignore such a swift reversal of quantitative tightening over the past couple years.

That is factually incorrect. Actual clinical research had shown that other diets can also be effective in reversing type-2 diabetes. That disease is primarily a matter of insulin resistance so the key point is to reduce carbohydrates. Whether the remaining nutrients come from plant or animal sources is largely irrelevant.

https://www.virtahealth.com/reversediabetes

Diets based on animal products have also been proven effective for weight loss. And the goal for most people isn't just to lose weight but rather to lose adipose tissue while retaining lean muscle; diets high in animal proteins tend to be a little more effective on that score.

Just like drugs, humans, etc, guns are also trafficked. The vast majority of gun homicides are done with handguns and largely gang related. Not all of those guns weren't at one point legal guns in the US - where the gang member either stole them from a law abiding citizen or walked into a gun store. All handguns in the US require background checks and you have to be 21 years old to buy.

I've never understood why people even bother with paracetamol/acetaminophen. Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs like naproxen are (in my experience) much better painkillers and are much less likely to kill you.

Edit: NSAIDs are bad if you are bleeding (or are about to be bleeding like before surgery), and they can cause stomach ulcers.
Regulation Can’t Prevent the Next Financial Crisis
First, why are you reaching for what is by definition the smallest group?

Second, I just looked up Hungarian towns by population, in that range, first one I found was Ráckeve, it has three car rentals.

I can't tell what engine types the two which aren't "fancy old-timer VIP cars" rent out (and not only because even Chrome refuses to offer to translate for me), and you might not count the location anyway because it's on a short distance train line to the capital.

Making a prediction from the number of vehicles in their publicity shots and the penetration of electric car sales, I'd guess even odds there's at least one electric vehicle, in that location, at the moment, that gets rented out.

Looking at the google maps aerial photos of some of the places with population of 1k, I wouldn't count such small places as urban. I'm not sure what definition Wolfram Alpha used when I asked it for the number.
This guy injected his son with a novel vaccine that was developed and rushed out the door in less than a year. The kid then died. Can't say for sure what happened but obviously this journals is always going to be biased towards the view where he wasn't politically pushed to do something that killed his child.
So there's really no reason to listen to what this person has to say about what he covers for a living.

Truly a lost soul and I do feel sorry for him. Hope he can just move on and find something else to do with his life and career that doesn't involve fighting the internet.

I agree with you that the "amazing" part is the query understanding.

There are two really big things I'm excited about:

1. It really understands what I am asking. What my meaning is. Gpt-4 is way way better even than gpt-3.5 at this. This is something truly different that a computer has never been able to do and (hopefully) will only get better at it. This really truly changes everything in how we interact with computers. We shouldn't be downplaying this. This is real. Today. At the same time a lot of this turning "understanding" into useful output comes at a huge amount of work on the RLHF side so we shouldn't necessarily extrapolate into the future too much just based on the current progress of openai. It's still very difficult work.

2. Everyone is now paying attention to LLM's. When the world starts paying attention to things and engineers start hacking things together, big companies start pouring money into ai, maybe Google wakes up for once, students start choosing ai as their career field, etc etc - amazing things happen. AI just went from niche to something that everyone is using and thinking about.

This makes a lot of sense. Prime shipping is fast sometimes, but not consistent enough to rely on for anything urgent. Arriving in a week rather than a few days rarely matters for most online purchases anyway.
This seems very interesting, and I like your FAQ where you get honest, but your intro almost put me off:

"be up to exponentially faster than alternatives" – hmm

"Interaction Net, which supersedes the Turing Machine" – Interaction Net link points to a paper on Interaction Combinators. And talking about superseding Turing machines is embarrassing – do you have Oracle powers? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_machine)

"set to scale towards uncharted levels of performance" – that's just a bit cringy

I've come across claims of no GC needed and I don't buy it unless in restricted domains, and it would be nice to have a link towards what you mean by 'beta optimality'. I would like to see the sort benchmark being done something realistic (recursive bubble sort, the two words together don't look good). Also automatic parallelism..., Immutability apparently for free, everything higher-order, it seems you hit a lot of holy grails in one go. Rather too many for me to feel comfortable.

The FAQ by contrast is a whole lot more reasonable and upfront, perhaps be careful about overselling yourself?
This isn't how it works at all; a server sends a message to a push service which then delivers it to the user agent. It is only once the user agent receives the message that it needs to start an installed service worker (if it isn't already running) to deliver the message in the form of the notification. (There's some interest in making it possible to send a notification directly via the push service without having the cost of starting a service worker, but that's future work.)

In the Safari case, this push service is essentially the same as is used for native apps, and it will do the same aggregation as you see for other notification types.

Hi whinvik, we agree that development in Spark is hard, and that is part of the motivation of Fugue. Spark code couples the distributed orchestration and business logic together.

By keeping your code in native Python or Pandas, it will be much easier to develop, debug, and maintain the business logic because your tracebacks will be in native Python. Fugue then takes it to Spark when you are ready to scale.

This touches on one of my least favorite things about Apple Music: They don't have different versions of a lot of stuff. I've seen many cases where a particular track they have with an album is actually a single version (or vice versa), and somewhat like your Tamil/Telugu issue, single and album versions can be quite different.
Some form of that is very likely the future
Is forcing the sale a betrayal of the open internet?

Do keep in mind that the US forced the sale of Grindr away from a holding company that had golden shares in an actively homophobic regime.
Organic, home-grown DDOS attacks with dozens to thousands of people using home-internet grade connection, such as the infamous 4-chan LOIC, can reasonably be compared to a form of protest. Loudly blocking the way into a business is pretty common among strikers.

For profit DDOS attacks using significantly stolen bandwidth from compromised machines are clearly a different thing entirely. Where you draw the line between them is a discussion topic.

You are conflating centralization with socialism. Mario Draghi is the centralist banker behind QE and he is a fervent neoliberal. He has nothing to do with socialism.

Crazy how distracted I've been lately, I've lived in a communist economy without noticing. I must have missed the proletarian expropriation somehow.

Jokes aside, it's interesting how people like to call the current system socialist when it doesn't work, capitalist when it does.

For all the faults that lobbying brings with it, there is something to be said for actually bringing in outside experts into the legislative process. You can seek intellectual purity all you want, but at the end of the day you are going to have to have some trust that farmers know where seeds go and tech companies know how encryption works.

Similar bills have died several times in the US, if only because there were actual experts available (aka, lobbyists) who could tell them why this idea was dumb and impossible.

It's hard not to see this following in the line of "right to be forgotten" or "tracking consent" where legitimate concerns about the language of the rules were completely dismissed as industry noise.

> But really congratulations to them for having an almost 20 year old social network that still gets avalanches of highschool kids coming in.

Yes, congratulations to them.

Unfortunately for them, high school kids rarely have any money to pay for the things being advertised on reddit, so their business model still doesn't work, because older folks don't want to sift through a shitty UI/UX experience with a bunch of high-schoolers who are posting mostly nonsense.

There are some nice subs that are excepted from this, mostly by staying small and well moderated by old-timers, but these small subs don't really pay the bills from what I understand.

I strongly disagree that QE policies and central banking are socialist. In fact, I would argue that QE, as it has been enacted since its inception after the collapse of Japan’s credit bubble, is closer to the opposite since it strengthens capital’s control over labour. The mechanisms of which are asset price inflation, financialization, austerity which reduces spending on public goods, poor wage growth, and so on. These are all examples of capital increasing its power while labour loses power. I agree the policy choice is terrible, but I don’t see how they can be construed as socialist.

Also, keep in mind that the theoreticial justifications for these policies do not originate in socialist/marxist economics. Nor are the technocrats that implement them motivated by socialist theory.

It seems the only connection that exist is that central banking is central (so is the military) and that marxist-leninist regimes make heavy use of centralism. Central banking predates all such regimes, by the way. But that seems like a superficial connection that does nothing to elucidate. I disagree heavily with QE but labeling it socialist does not help in understanding it so that I may effectively oppose it.

Let's take one point at a time:

> we DO KNOW that Bush was the biggest force behind the push to keep expanding NATO to Russia’s border and get Ukraine and Georgia in

This is simply not true. The initiative (or lack of) has always come from Eastern Europe and that has been the main factor that determined which countries ended up in NATO and which ones did not. Nobody has been dragged into NATO "kicking and screaming", as you put it.

Your whole narrative falls apart once you admit this simple fact.

> The more we move to a web app based reality, the more we're going to see exploitation of browsers and their many features.

True, but as the GP pointed out, we only have to secure one app, and fixing a security issue in it saves you from anyone exploiting that flaw in any other app.

Sure, you can make the same argument of an OS-level flaw, but that leaves people with older devices out in the cold, as they often don't receive OS updates anymore. The browser is just an app, and as long as it supports the OS running on the older devices, you get those updates years after your device vendor stopped supporting you.

We're never going to solve all security issues (at least not until "perfect" AI starts writing our software), but I'd much rather run apps in a a browser than on the device directly, even with Android/iOS's app sandboxing tech.
