My little sister was so afraid of her Furby that at one point she threw it off our roof to try to kill it. That didn’t work so she ended up putting it in the freezer.

This will not make her feel better.
I own a Model Y so there may be some bias but this is my take.

Tesla hits the sweet spot of price, technology, good design and sales model. Speaking for myself only, I would consider very few other EV manufacturers, Hyundai is definitely peaking interest but I think for me Tesla is still edging ahead.

The dealer experience is miserable. I don't want to haggle on price, I don't want to allow a credit check just to test drive a vehicle, looking at your Genesis. There is something pleasant about going on line and having a set price and ordering.

I truly enjoy Tesla's software and car design. There are constant improvements, sometimes bad changes but overall the experience keeps getting better. Sure its a touch screen, you have to accept having a touch screen to enjoy it but compared to all other manufacturers they have a UI that makes sense for me. To me it feels like most of the decisions are practical, I don't consider my car a luxury car but more a simple EV.

Its not the cheapest EV but its also not the most expensive.

Edit: The other thing I would add is that while there are still holes, their service network beats all others. If you buy this Ioniq 6 you are still having to deal with a service network that barely touches any electric vehicles. Along with that I am sure there are many kinks Hyundai and others are trying to work out. There goal has to been to launch EV vehicles as quickly as possible to catch-up to Tesla.
It is my understanding that China has a long history (hundreds of years at least) of the government keeping merchant power in check, lest it lead to unrest due high levels of inequality. This is why China didn’t see Capitalist primative accumulation in the early modern period.

> In selecting a woman and a person of colour, Nasa is keeping its promise to bring greater diversity to its exploration efforts.

I wish people would stop promising diversity and just select people. Looking at their background, everyone selected is super qualified and seems like a great match. The diversity promise does nothing except make people doubt their credentials.

You see it also with the Vice President. Kamala Harris is talented in her own right, but Biden’s promise before he selected her made it seem like she was not. He should have just selected her without making the promise.
> FWIW, macs are high quality and last a long time.

My own experience (4 MacBooks Pros) and that of providing MacBook Air and Pros to a dozen or so staff (with 50 or so on non-Mac kit) leads me to conclude this statement is not true.

They are great as long as they work but no better in terms of longevity to equivalent kit from other manufacturers, at least in my limited, non-scientific, IMHO experience.
My unpopular opinion is that people adopting this type of machine learning will have some benefits and some speed-bumps and obstacles. As GPT iterates through a myriad of versions, improvements, restrictions, filters businesses will have to work around legal challenges, shadow biases, confidently incorrect interpretations and of course dependencies on a rate limited cloud service unless all future iterations become open source, self hosted and distributed and everyone can agree on what data-sets to ingest and what should be filtered/excluded for legal, accuracy and other reasons. Businesses taking this on early will need to be ready to quickly change course on the fly especially as new legislation catches up.

I think the biggest obstacle could be the lack of showing ones work when legal issues will arise. There isn't a "debug last answer" to get forensic data on how the answer what achieved. I am curious how a cranky judge may respond to "because the AI said so".

Another potential risk could be if shadow biases dynamic filtering, dynamic algorithms, dynamic tuning based on social, economic or political preferences of the ML operator, get too aggressive and people start to realize their financial decisions are being manipulated and impacted artificially by automation even more so than occurs today on social media platforms. I do not know how businesses or governments may react to this.
A Clothing Dye Alternative Using Bacteria Can Cut Fashion Waste
It because that's the burn number we will be at by the end of year, lots of cost cutting work to reach that number. And new investor is willing to write the check to execute on this plan but will get their fair share of skin for the risk.
I also had a 2016 with a bad keyboard, they replaced it for free because it was a well known terrible keyboard and it probably didn't hurt that it was still under applecare. I continued to use that laptop into 2019, it did need a battery replacement (it got puffy, it happens) that I paid for out of pocket. Then I gave that laptop to a friend and she used it until she finally thought it was too slow/big (it was a 15") and bought a used air.

A failure != a brand new laptop, especially with applecare.

IMO chromebooks are worse but cheaper so you feel better just tossing them out. Windows laptops are worse .. so your position is Apple sux bucause the laptops fai sometimes. But window laptops fail more ... so ...

so what? Hardware fails sometimes, Apple has great support and actually own up to defective products. Sure I'm a little miffed that I can't generally fix them myself (and especially miffed that they solder storage onto a mainboard and don't use something like m.2). But every last apple laptop i've owned that I have replaced for speed reasons has gone to someone else who's used it for years after i've been done with it. (Well save one that took an unfortunate tumble into a lake.. no saving that one, RIP last macbook I ever owned with an optical drive)
> “It’s like, well, we can’t just have people get drunk or high,” he went on, “but I think we can get people to eat spicy food, which might just be hilarious.”

Amusingly there was a show in Quebec and then France where the host and his guests were making food while drinking a lot, called Les "Recettes pompettes".
I don't think very highly of Jack Ma, but eloquence for non-native speakers should be judged very differently, especially for someone coming from a language very far away linguistically.
I've seen headlines of 1 major publication that's been non-stop ChatGPT is evil for the past month.

I don't think it replaces real journalists. Real journalism just got much easier to do & analyze research. I will gladly pay a human money who understands what they're reporting on, can gather sources of quality data & use a tool like ChatGPT to help discover & summarize the data.

Journalism that is quality over quantity will increase in value, especially the kind that helps filter out fearmongering & overusing the 7 deadly sins. I don't want or need daily news. I want quality & value my time.
While it may be controversial, I like that some companies are trying Work from Office, for multiple reasons:

It forces companies to tap into a smaller talent pool locally, which can include more junior employees that may require training. This makes the company more inclusive and gives opportunities to those who might not otherwise have access to them.

Let's not forget that one of the most successful companies in the world, OpenAI, operates mostly from the office. For one, if there truly is an advantage to remote work, then companies that embrace it will naturally outperform those that don't. However, the fact that Meta and other companies are requiring employees to return to the office suggests that there may be benefits to in-person work that can't be replicated remotely.

My company choose an hybrid option that I find interesting. It is remotely only, but hires only locally.
Before the war, a solid majority (66%) favored using military force to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Once the war started, a similarly large fraction of the American people thought it was the right decision. Public opinion didn't shift into the negative until quite a bit later, a while after Abu Ghraib.

How could the UK’s net zero plan involve new oil and gas?
My daughter (age 8) is fascinated with these kinds of bracelets. It's been fun to have her find an image of one that she likes, and then reverse-engineer how it could have been put together to help her make one of her own. YouTube has made this kind of learning so much easier than when we were kids.

Like OP describes, it's an enjoyable communal activity, one that helps her get better with her hands and learn patience/focus, and is something she likes to show off to her friends when she's done.
It's called educating your potential customers on your product.

NordVPN has spent an incredible amount of money getting their name out there.

The majority of the population hasn't a clue about what a VPN is or does. The ones that do, their only interface is "its this thing my company makes me connect to"

Of the remaining subset of people who are aware of what VPNs actually do for you, it's likely they can only name 1 or two brands: NordVPN and ExpressVPN.

So if you have the superior product, but the lesser position in the market, then get busy marketing.
Why MMAP in llama.cpp hides true memory usage
hm to be honest was is scaring me off VR is the fact that I have to look like a cyborg to take part in it.

And if i don't it just feels like second life with extra steps.

I have also many times dreamt of taking a car and using the canbus to do a racing simulator that sits in my yard but have also been scared of by the fact that iam not really moving.

Maybe we do actually need a neural link for it?
He admitted to publishing a paper with authors he didn’t know.. and which external evidence suggests had authorship for sale. These people are a disaster for science..
"Taco in a bag"?

How was the restroom the next morning ;)
No, threatening people with death isn't a good way to get dynamism. The American middle class healthcare system, employer plans, is specifically designed to reduce dynamism by making it harder to quit your job. There's other advantages but not that one.
risk dying or deal w being sad. what would you choose?
Correct. It's a terrible deal relative to buying a mac ~5-6 years ago, when the price for a base spec model was more reasonable and you could upgrade it yourself.
Currently migrating from it (not writing any new files to it), but keeping it for read/shared files. The migration plan is to eventually move everything to a DS923 (Synology), with most files being mirrored on client machines and weekly offsite backups (encrypted). Would like something off-continent eventually but haven't given it any thought.
The used Mac market disagrees with your anecdote.
It's just as possible to do no work while sitting in an office all day, we've all seen that

What's also impressive is that the youngest of these people is 44.

The oldest will be 49 when they take off in November of 2024.

It's a testament to the amount of experience and training required for these missions. The Apollo astronauts were mostly around 40. With Ken Mattingly being the youngest person to land on the moon at a spritely 36.
That's frustrating though. Just put those folk on notice, fire them if they dont improve, or fire their managers if they cant fix the problem. baby, bathwater, etc.
No, he just moves in and out of it like Neo.
He has just taken the whole "metric becomes the goal" thing to its logical conclusion. If you are only valued by your citation count..

I guess this is the (2022) publication about his theory:

"Alzheimer's: The ABCDE Paradigm"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36165334/

The same author also proposed in 2023 that Alzheimer is "a fundamental disease of information processing systems"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36845437/

And in 2023 he also proposed that actually it's about tryptophan metabolism:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36831835/
I agree. It's weird, because I have to believe he realizes how it works (eg what it can "solve" and what it can't). Just demonstrating a little though experiment would go a long way.

I’m excited about new treatments for Alzheimer’s even though I don’t need them and don’t expect to. Products can make the world better and anyone can get excited about that.
What's this constant obsession with "stealing jobs"? The tech industry has been dead for something like 30 years. There is zero intellectual design being put into it. Music is just a bunch of sellouts. You know how "content creators" do that cringy shit where they try to base their life around monetizing their "content"? That's how "musicians" worked before the internet. I couldn't care less how their jobs are threatened. Journalists are obviously no better. I don't miss Blockbuster. I don't miss PSTN operators. I don't miss building pyramids by hand.

Work / money itself is an absurd concept and not something to spend 100% of our time worrying about. As technological capability increases, there will just be a point where food and everything will be handed out for free. And mundane people will still be worse off by their own choosing. And perhaps some shoddy company like Amazon Google Apple etc will be the one doing this so they will use this to enforce their political viewpoint instead of honoring the non aggression principle.
Grit | Senior Software Engineers / ML Engineers | New York, San Francisco, or (rarely) Remote | Full-time | $150–250k + equity

We’re building software to automatically fix technical debt. We do this by combining expressive static analysis tooling (we’ve built a developer-friendly query language for code) with machine learning to automatically migrate code to new patterns and platforms. We’re in private beta, but have deployed thousands of successful changes for initial customers and have raised a large seed round from top investors (Founders Fund, 8VC, Abstract Ventures).
We’ve solving challenges at the intersection of machine learning and programming languages using Scala, Rust, TypeScript, and LLMs. We’re hiring for both smart generalists and PL/ML experts who are interested in collaborating on problems like automatically inserting new types into codebases and using unit tests for self-supervised learning.

Here are a few reasons you might be interested in applying:

- We’re working on the edge of the possible and doing deep technical work in parsers/language design and machine learning.

- We mostly work in-person in New York and San Francisco, but remote is also possible for outstanding candidates who have proven success in a remote model.

- I’m personally committed to giving real feedback to everyone who applies.

To what "rights", specifically, are you referring? How were they "gained over the past 3 years"? There is a weird strain of thinking in this thread that tries to frame this as some kind of Marxian labor-capital power struggle. But that framing doesn't really fit the facts.
Royal endorsements are a monopoly on services to the crown.
This is a good point. The M1 was the first MBP in years that inspired me to upgrade from my 2015 model. They fixed so many annoyances that were holding me back. But I have no particular reason to upgrade again a year later for evolutionary change. I bought two M1s last year and will probably keep them for years.
I feel the same. Macs are just way too expensive in EU market to recommend for normal people. You can get a real good internet+netflix machine for 800EUR. In my opinion Apple prices themselves out as the quality of the 800EUR market range increased dramatically over the past four years. Most people dont need a M1, so they can buy cheaper.
I don't blame them. Were entering a bear market, they have disadvantaged themselves with metaverse (although their hand was forced when ad market was nuked).

It's a hectic market where job seekers and employers are about to get tight.
Lex's interview with Eliezer really made me appreciate how much negative value Lex brings to the party.

> We're in a HCOL city and school board is going forward with plans to build housing for teachers because they simply can't recruit them any other way.

This is a good policy also found in safety-net-having countries like Finland.

> Interesting, never heard this version. Heard only another Joy Division recording of it and New Order's. Digging the lower tempo

It was written as a Joy Division song; Ian Curtis wrote the lyrics just a few weeks before he died. There are three Joy Divison recordings of it: one performed live (at what ended up being their final concert, though nobody knew it at the time), one studio recording, and one bootleg recording of a soundcheck for the aforementioned concert.

Because Curtis died before Joy Division finished the studio recording, all three recordings are unfortunately of suboptimal quality. Which is quite a shame - it would be nice to have an album quality recording of that final song.
I mean the guy was writing a paper every 2-3d without AI and got it down to 1d with AI. It seems completely reasonable to me that better tooling could get their time down 50% (try shoveling a driveway vs using a truck ...).

If his was just (ab)using chatgpt to create the papers from thin air then it'd be pretty easy for somebody to show where the pre-chatgpt papers are and the post-chatgpt papers are by the drop in quality. However, nobody has been citing the content of his papers when they make the claims about quality so I doubt chatgpt has an impact on the quality of his papers.
The MacBook Air has been solid since inception, and that machine is good enough for the vast majority of people.
As someone who has watched far too much CinemaSins, The Critical Drinker and other critics I can totally see that. Each have their flaws. I have to consciously disable my CinamaSins dinger or I can't enjoy anything.

A reboot of both of them with modern special effects might be interesting assuming whoever does the reboot does not inject modern social/political biases into it.
Apple had bigger plans for the M2 chip but they had power dissipation problems. That sort of a miss is going to affect sales.
Do you have any counter point to the above mentioned pricing? If not, that illustrates a huge difference.
I love this book so much that I couldn't bring myself to watch the film. I raced through the latter chapters consuming/inhaling the passages about Bowman's evolution into the Monolith. I re-read the book from time-to-time and I am sad I didn't read it sooner.
The place I work for hasn't fully embraced remote for in house staff, since lockdowns it's now 2 days a month in the office but we have hired an agency to help with an app rebuild. We've got 5-6 people from the agency working from Spain, Hungary, Poland and the UK and they're brilliant. Really knowledgable about our specific niche with loads of experience in related areas. I have no idea how we'd find people this good in the UK let alone ones tied to commute distance of the office.

I can only assume the huge companies like Meta are wanting to reduce HR overhead of dealing with different countries and states employment laws, taxes etc.
Undoubtedly, you can visibly see Sean play on that between different interviews. If somebody's smashing the wings, he's smashing along. If somebody's being pained, he's limping as well.

But then there's often really interesting question, the Hot Ones team does not skimp on researching the guests, and I've seen a few who were surprised or even blown away by how specific and personal (not in a bad way, just about things close to their hearts) the inquiries were.
It sounds like you used ChatGPT as a rubber duck. Although this rubber duck can talk back to you.
I.J. Good’s report on machine intelligence for IBM (1959)
thank you for sharing this. tough to read but totally resonates. and hope you have found your footing now!
I suppose the idea is that you feed a scientific paper or research institute's PR to an LLM and it spits out an article. That's the bread and butter of many science journalists. An editor can make sure it isn't a load of nonsense, which is one of the things editors already do.

But, that leaves a lot of space for "proper" journalism: gathering facts on the ground, interviewing relevant people, assessing impact, and so on.
