All that ornate stuff on the top was made for rich people.

People didn't go to the battlefield with some ridiculously ornate sword inlaid with gold and precious gems. That thing belonged to some rich nobleman and was an object of luxury. Though I imagine it could still cut if it came down to that, but that wasn't the main point of it, the point was showing how much money you had.

A sword in general wasn't what you battled with either, it's more of a backup weapon. But most people with a sword would have something very plain looking.

The average guy went to fight with something a lot more utilitarian looking, and simpler. They'd have spear consisting of a pointy metal tip on a wooden stick, because that's cheap and works great.

That is how espionage typically works. Deep cover is for exciting books and is a rarity. An employee of the Chinese government stationed at a local embassy or consulate meeting with an openAI employee with a gambling problem is far more likely than someone working there for a decade to smuggle out the weights of a hypothetical future model.

A classic use case is engaging in commerce (whether it's with ETH, DAI, USDC, etc), without needing to trust a middleman like PayPal to not freeze or steal your funds. For this one needs ETH to pay gas.
See the military five-paragraph order format.[1] It's boring, but useful.

The military requires that orders show "commander's intent". This matters when circumstances change and some subordinate has to adapt the plan.
"The enemy gets a vote." Officers and noncoms are then expected to change plans to achieve the commander's intent by other means. It's not about blind obedience.

USMC doctrine:

Mission tactics are
just as the name implies: the tactic of assigning a subordinate
mission without specifying how the mission must be
accomplished. We leave the manner of accomplishing the mission to the subordinate, thereby allowing him the freedom and
establishing the duty to take whatever steps he deems necessary
based on the situation.

The senior prescribes the method of execution only to the degree that is essential for coordination.
It is this freedom for initiative that permits the high tempo of operations that we desire. Uninhibited by restrictions from above,
the subordinate can adapt his actions to the changing situation.
He informs his commander what he has done, but he does not wait for permission.

It is obvious that we cannot allow decentralized initiative with-
out some means of providing unity, or focus, to the various efforts. To do so would be to dissipate our strength. We seek unity,
not through imposed control, but through harmonious initiative
and lateral coordination.

We achieve this harmonious initiative in large part through the use
of the commander’s intent. There are two parts to a mission: the
task to be accomplished and the reason, or intent. The task
describes the action to be taken while the intent describes the
desired result of the action. Of the two, the intent is predominant.
While a situation may change, making the task obsolete, the intent
is more permanent and continues to guide our actions. Under-
standing our commander’s intent allows us to exercise initiative
in harmony with the commander’s desires.[2]

>having access to products unmatched in our history, the same bunch of products

Paradox of Choice.

Lets say you have access to 100 items, you'd probably want more in your life. Having 101 items would likely give a great improvement to your life.

Now image you have access to 1,000,000 items. Having access to 1,000,001 items isn't probable to change your life in any particular fashion. In fact each additional item you have to track is a mental burden. More work for you to figure out if its actually worse or better. Now bounce up this item to 10s of millions. Yea, life actually might get worse in this scenario.
You haven't even a shred of understanding of social radicalism in the 60s and 70s.

I don’t really know anything about buying data or whatever, but how would you actually go about buying my day-to-day movements and how much does it actually cost?

I was always under the impression that when people say ‘Google collects all your data and sells it’, or whatever, they really mean that google sells ads which may be targeted based on the data they collect, and it’s only small companies with much less data who might sell it.
Don't sweat it, man. Stay loose.

I think as 3D printer enthusiasts, we focus on structure and features. The thing that I think of when I think of Prusa is reliability. For most people the most important thing about a 3D printer is that it prints. It doesn’t matter if it’s corexy or uses a Bowden tube, or the board is 32bit. And while those technologies ostensibly provide a better experience, it doesn’t really matter (for most) so long as you get thing thing you wanted to print.

For me, Bambu is too proprietary, Voron is too self-built, Ender is too unpredictable.

By current printer is self built and it works sometimes. My next printer is a Prusa.
We could also educate the parents/adults. I feel like a lot of these issues come from the fact that the newer generation(s) have so much more knowledge of what they're using than their elders. Society has changed things and implemented safeguards in the past (seatbelts, driving laws, etc.) Yet for some reason the social media discussion always ends up only presenting two options: Censorship or anarchy.

> About 0.3% less? ...Why is he shocked somebody else would pay basically the same amount he himself bid? I am so confused.

Mr. Gural's bid is complicated, because he's already 75% owner of the building; he's really bidding that he'd rather spend $47.5M for the other 25% of the building, than accept $142.5M for his part.

But if Mr. Garlick isn't following through on the bid, it's not surprising that Mr. Gural would rather reauction. He doesn't expect anyone to bid much for the property, and he'd rather spend less to get the other 25%.
Yeah. Convincing people that they don't know something they think they know is always a tough task. Convincing developers they don't know something they think they know just might be impossible. I feel like the kid in the Starfish parable.
I'm 45. Programming to some degree for 37 years. Same thing I always ask -- are you using GPT4 or 3.5? Can be a very big difference.

I think it really depends on what kind of programming you are doing as much as something like age. If you are trying to solve new problems in a new programming language or framework, then it will make more sense to get machine help than if you have a lot of experience in similar problems with the same language and libraries.

But that equation changes with GPT4 and especially beyond. Eventually you will probably try GPT4/5/ whatever and start using it.
This just seems incredibly naive. As if companies will trust each other to pause ML research and give up the potential competitive edge. Not to talk about national security agencies.

I like the motivating spirit here, although I think the execution lacks in a few ways. If he builds another ten of these over the next thirty years it will be good. One suggestion he might enjoy is heavy physical switches / manual mechanical reconfiguration to switch apps. A big chunky dial that solidly clicks as you rotate it to point to different basic programs like text editing, the terminal, web browsing, photo or video editing… my mouth is watering already.

Something I disagree with entirely on an aesthetic level is the use of wood in this project. I do appreciate that humans have evolved to appreciate interacting with wood, but (perhaps because of my background in metalworking shops) I think humans are also capable of instinctively appreciating the nobility of metal.

One of the main reasons I buy Apple laptops is they’re made from metal and glass. I’m also a fan of typewriters with metal, glass, or ceramic keycaps. If Apple made a laptop with non-plastic keycaps that would be my ideal machine. Even better if they would use steel instead of aluminum - they did this with the Pro series of the iPhone 14 and I appreciate it almost daily. A lot of my Apple loyalty actually comes from the fact that they seem to respect metal as a material in their design process much more than other companies.

My ideal desktop machine would probably be made from the exact same materials as a lathe or milling machine, even down to the absurdly thick enamel or epoxy paint in Machine Green.

Yeah using the model is one thing but what OpenAI has shown is that order of magnitude increases in model training can make a big difference. But they are already at the tens of millions to train a model, so order of magnitude bump is only possible to a small number of actors. I suspect NSA is busily setting something like gpt 4 up right now.
I am no tiktok fan, but this may spawn a new generation of crackers and rebels. At least maybe infuse new blood into the ranks of people who really understand how technology works. Most users don't know how to bypass a ban like this, but when they're sufficiently angry and motivated... maybe thats temporary.
I’m not sure which part of our national security surveillance state apparatus is endangered by foreign ownership, but I assume at face value that there is some very embarrassing facts that our local spooks are not keen to share with China.
What does the great firewall of America look like, from the infrastructure & interface angle? Would we want to share that with China? Your Google searches and all your metadata that can likely be accessed with relative ease… is there a similar surveillance capability that we’d wish to share with China in how spooks make data requests?

China has no jurisdiction over you… there’s no real punishing to relate to what you have viewed on TikTok, so why are your viewing habits a threat to national security?

I don’t believe this to be a zero sum game. This is further extension of authoritarianism from a government that is terrified of anything short of pervasive colonoscopy-tier data collection.
I am not a subject expert here at all so I don’t know if I understand exactly what you mean by “methods that would let you design such a thing in-silico”, but there was a paper[0] and interview with its authors[1] published a year ago about a drug-development AI being used to design chemical weapons.

> However, they are the same company pushing for pre-sliced files which is a terrible idea.

Agreed, though should be noted this happens across the industry. Whoever is the current fore-runner tends to push for it. MakerBot did the same thing back when they led the pack. Thing is, the only end Prusa can get from this is encouraging use of their printers. A shady method for sure, but MakerBot wanted to push for an entirely proprietary chain, from the model file to the printer, and because they had just gone proprietary, they could make that happen. Prusa has no legal or technical weight to make that happen (and hopefully they have no intention of going that direction). So long as they keep pushing open hardware and firmware, their push for presliced is (to me) not a deal breaker. It's wrong, and they should be called out for it, but it's not gonna lead to malicious legal action.
I am rather concerned about the message, than the particular choice of words. Because the message is downright authoritarian and militaristic, aggressive -- no matter how eloquently it is formulated, it is inherently crude.
Thank you for clarifying - that was definitely the context I was missing. Makes much more sense now.
Iterating on the question, what model/weights would be the most appropriate for the specific use case of code generation right now?
No this interpretation is negated by sec 2-2, it has to be a "controlling holding" to count as a "covered holding":

What's the role of the "Kind" language in all of this? I see only lisp-like expressions when showing the capabilities of the new VM. IIRC Kind language was done by the same organization and I really liked Kind as a fresh take on pure functional programming with dependent types. I can't find it now, but it had a different notion of dependency where a dependent function type could depend on an argument (as usual) and (IIRC) the function value itself as well (not usual).

For some people range matters. It’s particularly an issue for the electric trucks that Detroit is making big noises about.

For regulators EVs have been a deal with the devil since they are driving affordable and efficient cars (e.g. Toyota Corolla class) out of the market. in exchange for big promises about the EV future, Detroit is free to sell all the oversized trucks and SUVS they want today.
What power supply would you suggest Prusa use instead of what they are using? Is Bambu using something better?

Bambu slicer is a fork of Prusa's slicer. Prusa's slicer is a fork of Slic3r. Although perfectly fine it is notable that both Prusa and Bambu make 3d printers while the Slic3r project was just making a slicer.
I've always been told by corporate training that unless a lawyer is being asked a particular legal question, simply including them in a conversation does not raise an attorney-client confidentiality shield.
Why would the services not stagnate?

When a new medium is presented, especially one with lots of access, people try lots of new things on it, some succeed and some fail. People pick up on trends and fads and tend to follow them, so those things become the thing you're more apt to see if you pick at random. Those trends evolve over time. If you're looking around you can find the 'different' thing that will become the new trend, and many more things that will die off.
Sadly at $579 that is almost the price of a full printer at $799.

Interesting, but tastes absolutely vary. IMO the VT220 was the pinnacle of workstation design. Might be interesting to see something like that but made of wood and with a flat screen.
it is much more likely that our understanding of the early universe is imperfect, than it is that multiple gravity wells of that strength line up perfectly. we know our tools pretty well; well enough to have confidence that what is observed is actually representative of what is actually there.

the confusion here is because if this formed in 13 billion years, our understanding of the formation of the universe is very flawed, and generally, scientists both do and do not like it when stuff like this is proven wrong with new evidence.

they like it because discovery and increased understanding is the whole reason they became scientists in a lot of cases.

they don't like it because if this is wrong, what else is wrong, and what does that mean for everything else we think we know? what gets upended because of this?
This is surely a parody or satire, no? The writing is just too spot on to be real.
> With ChatGPT, it’s too easy to implement ideas without understanding the underlying concepts or even what the individual lines in a program do. Doing so for unfamiliar tasks means failing to learn something new, while doing so for known tasks leads to skill atrophy.

Imagine this: A hypothetical "GPT 7" tech can effortlessly create a starship capable of shuttling you from Earth to Mars. It's so reliable that after 100 uses, it never fails. Perfect flights, precise landings, and zero issues. All it takes is a simple command prompt "design a starship to Mars". In this scenario, is there a need to learn the intricacies of aerodynamics, gravitational forces, or rocket science?

The notion here is to liberate ourselves from limitations and focus on what truly interests us. That's the end game.
Great example. Regrettably, exploring this and the related topics you hinted at in more detail is not possibly without major spoilers.
I find the "both extremes are mad at me so I must be doing something right" defense not really useful, as it really doesn't say much about how evenly you apply moderation. You could be a hair's width away from being a fascist, and some full on fascist would complain that you're too left wing, and both a centrist and a leftist would complain that you're too right wing.

I don't want to complain about people doing it (but I have commented on it, and taken the punishment), I'd just prefer the moderation to be "either there's none or we keep our hands off".

I understand that it's not an easy position to be in, as you have to keep people happy, and enforcing the rules sometimes doesn't vibe with everyone, but I do believe that Facebook got that right (one of the few things!): if you say that you can't make sexist comments, you also can't make sexist comments about men. Twitter and Reddit got that wrong, and I believe you've got it wrong as well, as you'll ban someone like the person here, but you wouldn't bane someone who is the opposite.
Ukraine needs a series of rapid dominance asymmetric engagements to bring this stalemate to a conclusion.

One reason to discuss job displacement is that otherwise you sound like a nutcase ("we're all going to die!")... which causes most people to dismiss you out of hand. If you talk about job loss, more people see something plausible, concrete, short term, effecting them directly, etc. You can get engagement from more people. Then you can introduce the real problem of, like, human extinction.
