Whether or not that's feasible is going to depend a lot on the application. I don't think we'd ever fully rid homes of AC sockets, it's too useful for things like vacuum cleaners or space heaters.

But what about the sub 100W or even 200W applications? That's where I think something like 48VDC would start to shine. Every light in a home, phone chargers, tablet chargers, computer monitors, televisions, computers? (maybe not gaming rigs, but certainly laptops and nucs).

Oh I absolutely have a long-held aversion to the sight of cables. Because I have had to live among them, among many many many many of them, because I have had to manage them, growing up amidst so very many of them. They have never been fun to manage. I have long toiled to not be so enwrapped by cables.

Slower? Not really, not according to the links already shared. Less bandwidth? My headphones, my mouse, my keyboard are nowhere near their practical limits over wireless. Higher latency? I just cited 0.2ms, which seems absurd to grumble over. Higher error rate? This is not a problem I've ever experienced. More prone to interference? Literally never seen an issue. There's just no real solid reports on this being an issue. It's not seen with any statistical significance in real reviews.

Higher power requirements? Yes, having some awareness of batteries is required, but if you set things up (slash most devices are set up) to not be caught unprepared it's a remarkable low-toil system. Most devices can charge themselves. Most will operate for a week without charge. The only problem is being a total newb who doesn't have any handle at all, who gets caught out unprepared in the cold, by having absolutely no indicators & no warning. Once you actually start trying to use these devices, once you actually start looking at the battery level, the power concern is remarkably low issue.
Why have I never thought of this? I get really cold hands in the winter to the point where I have to take very frequent breaks from typing because my fingers freeze up. I'll definitely get one!
it's actually counter intuitive, but being "disciplined" is actually not great for finishing projects. Rather, it's better to setup a habit and routine, and stick to it for a long time, whether you accomplish anything during that time or not. E.g., work on blah for 30mins, at 9:30pm before sleeping, or at 6am when awake. Don't change this time, and don't do more time than originally planned (regardless of progress or lack thereof).

Habits are more powerful than self-control and discipline.
Kalvium | Onsite, India | Full Time | https://kalvium.kekahire.com/ | https://kalvium.com

We have multiple open roles in engineering - I'm hiring for a mod-level frontend engineer (5-7 yr experience), technical mentors/teachers, program managers.

Kalvium is redoing the 4-yr computer science program to be 2X better than any current program in India and middle east, including top-tier institutes you can name. How're we doing this - we are rethinking from scratch everything about the course: pedagogy (blackboards makes sense for CS? How about open offices? How about lectures?), courseware (replace irrelevant courses with more CS skills).

If this ambition sounds good to you - you should know we've already started 3 classrooms and have students going through this! Join us.

PS: even if you've not found an open role fit for you, but you're interested in participating in this challenge and vision, please get in touch. We love talking to people who connect with our mission - we usually find ways of collaborating. You can reach out to me anil@kalvium.com

The angle by which CSV is simple is in the flexibility of input...that is, it's a very decent authoring format, when sent into a system that knows how to import and validate "that kind of CSV" and treat it the way all user interfaces should treat input - with an eye towards telling the user where they screwed up.

Once you've got the data into a processing pipeline you do need additional semantic structure to not lose integrity, which I think Parquet is fine for, but any SQL schema will also do.

It's now very unusual to see a professional FPS player using a wired mouse. The performance is indistinguishable and for most people, charging is less of a nuisance than cable management.

That sounds like an imitation of a business so far. How many sales have you closed? What have you delivered?

Your domain name means nothing, as long as it is not weird.

A logo is not necessary until you are big.

"Cool sounding text" does not give you sales or trust from clients.

Font faces are not of any importance when starting a business.

A well made web page with a structure and copy that is actually useful for potential clients is what is essential for an online business. An honest description of what you offer and on what terms. Good professionals can help you do this, or you can do this yourself with some effort and good sense. Bad professionals or AI will create something meaningless, window decoration.

I see a lot of programmers take the same attitude as small/medium size business owners, that the design and web site is a "storefront" or some kind of necessary evil to get done and out of the way as quickly as possible to get on with the "real work". But the actual real work is the web site if you're an online business. Your care should go into it.

About delays and cost overruns, I highly recommend that people read about the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant in Finland. The delays and cost overruns are totally insane, yet they claim (on Wiki):

Even taking into account all OL3 construction delays the long term LCOE target for all three plants is 30 EUR/MWh. LCOE for the OL3 reactor alone is estimated at 42 EUR/MWh.

My "envelope maths" tells me that generating electricity from OL3 is twice the cost of OL1+OL2: 18 EUR/MWh vs 42 EUR/MWh.

The main Wiki article includes a long list of reasons for delays and cost overruns.

The construction project also included very long term, underground storage. On YouTube, you can find a great, if slightly creepy, documentary about it called "Into Eternity".

I’m not trying to say that narcotic painkillers are ineffective or necessarily dangerous.

Any inexpensive heating pad will work, but there are some things to look out for. Use a few Velcro adhesive dots to keep the pad from moving around on your desk. You will probably need to put a piece of stiff cardboard over the pad since most mice need a very flat surface. Choose a pad that allows you to conveniently adjust the heat. Cover the mouse and your hand with a towel, but be aware that its easy to let the mouse get too warm. Look for a pad with "auto-shutoff". A cheap mouse may stop working if it gets too hot, but let it cool down and it should start working again in a few minutes. My shop is typically about 55 deg F in the winter but this makes it very comfortable to use a mouse. I've done this for many years and never killed a mouse.

That would be the classical analogue.

But it doesn’t capture what makes the quantum version of the experiment interesting.

Which is that if you only have one clap, but at two possible times, you will detect (“hear”) the clap at only one location each time.

But the chance you hear the clap at any given position is based on where that position is in the wave you might expect if there had been two classical claps.

I.e. the quantum surprise is single particles interfere with themselves across the alternate paths they could take, not just each other.

Or in this case, interfere with themselves across two alternate times they could take on the same path.

This quote caught my eye:

“That piece of ground just across the road here," he said, "I may make 250 to 300 bucks an acre on a good year.

"And then when someone comes around and asks me, 'Hey, we're willing to give you $1,000 an acre (per year) for solar panels, and give you a 2 percent increase per year for a 40-year contract,' it gets your interest," Webb said.

Assuming those numbers are correct, that’s a huge bump in income for farmers.

I have some mid-grade Rode Wireless Go and nice >$100 Samsung lavaier mics I can use when needed, which is faultless, reliable, amazing prosumer gear no one could conceivably gripe about, but honestly the Actis Pro headset I have is probably a better choice for both cases.

The Actis has better microphone positioning by far, which counts for so much.

I'm interested to test the range versus the Rode, but given that I can be 3 floors away & the Actis still fine, I'd be surprised if the Rode really had shockingly better range/reliability/interference-resistance.

I continue to think there's a paranoia & level-of-concern that does not match what modern hardware can do.

One of my favorite queries to assess an LLM is Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?

Vicuna-13B: The legality of a man marrying his widow's sister (widow marriage) varies depending on the country and cultural context. In some societies, widow marriage was traditionally practiced or tolerated.

GPT-4: It is not possible for a man to marry his widow's sister, as the term "widow" refers to a deceased man's wife. Therefore, if a man has a widow, he is deceased and therefore cannot marry anyone.
Hey friend, this sounds like a bit of burnout. If you're anything like me, you may be a bit of a maximizer. One can optimize everything to the point it's not fun anymore.

Remember to spend at least some of your time doing something for joy. Do something new. Something you're bad at. Drop it the second it's not fun anymore. Or take a trip. Ensure you're spending time on friends and family. Just waste time sometimes and don't feel bad about it. Focus on a task thats not actually the top priority but is more fun now and again.

It doesn't get easier. You pick up more tasks and harder tasks. You can make things that were once harder things easier things, but you're always going to be working hard if you're improving. Make sure you do it sustainably -- it's a marathon and not a sprint. If you rush to retire but don't build a life you want to retire to it will just make it worse.

Everyone mentions the remarkable but the degrading pencil tips have got to be the stupidest, most infuriating, most egregiously rent-seeking product conceivable by the human mind. I refuse to play that game. Why would I want that feeling anyways? On paper I choose the slickest paper and exclusively use a fountain pen as wet as practical without being messy. I understand the glass tablet surface isn't nice for writing and I appreciate the alternative, but the $1.50 a pop guarantee that the tablet becomes a paperweight when remarkable goes out of business is insane. (On that note, I also seem to recall that features have been removed from the device via updates.)

Has anyone had experience with text-davinci-003 vs Code-DaVinci-002? Apparently code-davinci-002 is better at statistical reasoning, as RTHF/fine tuning has made the text versions as well as the later models as bad as humans are or worse. If this is true code-davinci-002 is probably the most competent model available that could form the basis of a reasonably rational system, using a chaining or step-by-step DAG method similar to the submitted article.

I'm guessing you want one with a low enough temp setting that it doesn't bake your keyboard. Around 80-90F degrees I'd guess, but haven't tested. Especially important if you have a 'smart' keyboard, which has an actual small computer (more than an i8048) in it.
> give them a small program and some inputs, then tell them to tell you the outputs for each of the inputs

I just tried this with all three versions of ChatGPT (3.5 legacy, 3.5, 4), and they all did it correctly.

>In order to be Turing-complete, they would need to have edges between nodes (I don't know what they are called in ML parlance) that can go to previous nodes, as well as edges that are only conditionally taken.

If you look at a neural network at the lowest level, it is trivial to implement a NAND gate with them. It just takes a few nodes. And LLMs have a feedback loop through their context window.

With NAND gates and a feedback loop you can build any CPU.

There are many examples of people asking ChatGPT to act like a CPU and pretend to execute instructions, or like a Python interpreter, or a Dungeon Master and respond to what the human players do.

Now, that doesn't make it an AI in itself. But it shows that there is no fundamental limit to its computational capabilities.

> They exhibit the intelligence of the humans that wrote the material used to train their models, nothing more.

Do you mean that they're just pattern matching input text against a fuzzy database and responding with canned answers?

If so, that's not what's going on in my view. That might have been accurate for the earlier LLMs.

But the latest LLMs appear to have developed internal language processing, a world model, and capabilities to reason about things.
