I think the issue is more of recovering misformatted or incomplete data when something goes wrong, or otherwise understanding what's in the file if reading it in one format doesn't work as intended (e.g if the file format goes out of use and maintainers are unfamiliar with it). CSV has issues for sure, and yet you have posted content that's readable at some level as text. It's not a quasirandom selection of unicode characters that looks like some private key.

I think these types of examples can be misleading because they take an example of pathological CSV and don't present the comparison, which is typical binary. Sure your example is a problem but what if it were in a nested binary format? Would that be easier for humans to read if the file were mangled? (It's also often more difficult to resolve formatting errors from just one record too, so that's also misleading.)

I disagree with the idea that humans might want to look in the file using text or other software "0.001%" of the time. Sure in some settings it's rare but in others it's pretty common.

CSV is a bit of a misnomer anyway because the field separators can really be anything so you should be using a separator that is extremely unlikely to appear in a field.

Anyway, I'm not actually trying to defend CSV as the ideal as I think it is way, way overused, in part because of the issues you raise. But I also think making a format that's easy for humans to read in a failsafe file format (text usually) is an important criterion.

I guess in general I haven't been convinced that any of the data format proposals I've seen get some level of publicity are especially better than any other. For some use cases, probably, but not for others. Sure, that's how it works, but I wish there were better options getting traction or attention. It seems like when I do see something promising it often doesn't get off the ground, and there isn't a robust competition of ideas in the space. Often the reading-writing software drives data format use — that's not necessarily my preference but it seems to often be the case.

Feels like talking past each other, which isn't itself too surprising — a telegram group I'm in someone shared a picture of a bong captioned "PoV: you are a normie, and the person in front of you speaks about AGI x-risk: Works cited".

> Finally, talk of regulation should be realistic. There was something naive about the implication in the open letter that the problems of AI governance might be substantially resolved during a six-month moratorium. The UK government probably won’t have reported its consultation results within six months, still less enacted meaningful legislation. At the same time, if we wait for the US, China, and the EU to agree rules for the governance of AI, we are going to be waiting forever.

I'd be more surprised if an open letter signed by experts in any domain outside international law and geopolitical wasn't naïve from the lens of international law and geopolitical. After all, non-compsci takes on anything compsci are naïve.

But this letter wasn't even targeting governments (unlike Yudkowsky's response to the letter, given airstrikes and nukes are government-only options) — precisely because the governments are too slow anyway, it was asking everyone trying to beat GPT-4 to instead try to help governments (and everyone else) catch up.

I started, boostrapped and sold a SaaS business.

By most standards, this was a resounding success. I won't have to work again ever if I don't want to. This being my first company, I was obsessed with it. Towards the end, I burnt myself out, I had neglected my wife and kids for years, and I was just so miserable. I used to love programming, but I could not concentrate anymore. I started developing resentment against the entitlement of the software engineers I would hire. My heart was broken every time I would read articles/comments on HN about how working for a start up is a scam that only benefits the founders.

It was time to get out. I was lucky that I sold in 2021, when the multiples were higher than ever. But I have lost my marriage along the way, and I have definitely lost a few years of life expectancy.

I really wonder if it was really all worth it. I know at the end of the day though I had to go through that. I had to see it with my own eyes.

In the end, things worked out for me. I can't even fathom how I would feel if the whole thing had failed. I really came to the conclusion that most of the time, starting a company is for suckers.

Prohibitively expensive cost would probably be the reason for “not”. Though for business class and luxury travel, I suppose it could be feasible, ignoring ethical dilemmas of using a lot of energy to indulge the rich. But as a society, we ignore that. So that’s all sorted.
To repeat myself: I'm not saying climate change isn't real or that it isn't a problem. We need to get off fossil fuels due to climate impact, finite deposits and health reasons. There are several ways how this can be done without dooming our children to significantly worse prosperity.

I take issue with the "if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't count" sentiment I so often encounter in these discussions. This tells me that it is not about solving a physics problem, which it is, but something different and potentially much more dangerous.

To be precise - I don't think I'm saying 'local LLMs' above :) But technically possible, I guess, just hasn't been part of what's officially available. (There are also licensing issues still.) To answer your question about the APIs - the Agent itself queries OpenAI via REST to break the prompt down into tasks, then works with the underlying tools/pipelines using Python API (and then, e.g., a Transformer model that's part of the pipeline has to be 'loaded' into a GPU). Part of those pipelines might be using Promptnode (that can work with hosted LLMs via REST, but could also work with a local LLM). Re 'subsume' - well, that depends :) But arguably, you can build an NLP Python backend with Haystack only, of course.. Regardless of how complex your underlying use case is, or whether it's extractive, generative or both.

I'm thinking that you want them to go flat. When they're fresh off the factory floor we can think of them as perfect spheres. So while riding one ball touches the ground at its maximum radius, then it falls off a bit, then rises to the maximum radius of the next ball etc, so the rider keeps going up and down a bit.

Once they become a bit flat the 4 sides will squash down into a cube type shape, also equalizing with its neighbors so that the overall shape becomes flat and the ride becomes a lot smoother.

> UTC is very much a timezone, that’s why it has a timezone designator (Z).

This is just not correct. The "Z" is a historical maritime designation for the zero-point timezone, GMT, and predates UTC by decades.

UTC is defined by the International Telecommunications Union in recommendation TF.460-6 (pdf link: https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/tf/R-REC-TF.460-6-2...). It's brief and you won't find any mention of time zones.

The symbolism "UTC+0" or the "Z" timezone come from ISO-8601, which is a specification for how to represent times in strings. You can find that specification here: https://web.archive.org/web/20171019211402/https://www.loc.g...

See section 2.1.12 Note 3:

> UTC is not a time zone, it is a standard. UTC is also not GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), rather, UTC has replaced GMT. UTC is more precise; the term 'GMT' is ambiguous.

That document goes to great lengths to keep this distinction between time scales and time formats. They're different, and conflating them will get you very confused. When you describe a time in PST, you are almost certainly using UTC.

We're talking about an optional feature for developers who want it, that you have to go and turn on.

1. People demonstrated much more desire in destroying humanity than LLMs.

2. Stop calling LLMs “AI”, it's an insult to the AI.
IQ of 250 is a meaningless statement. IQ of 200 means “better than 1/10 billion”. There aren’t enough humans to make a statement like that meaningful, and an IQ of 250 is positing something like “smarter than all humans living in the solar system centuries from now”.

Maybe when we make AGIs in bulk we’ll be able to talk about analytical capacity on some more meaningful scale than IQ, but for now, numbers like you gave attached to a human are just silly hyperbole.
i also sold in 2021 when the money flowed easy. i'm not set for life but i could easily go 10 years, longer if i sold assets. eventually the burnout faded, my health improved (knock on wood) and the boredom got to me after 1.5 years and i'm working again. working on personal projects "for fun" is not the same as making money, no matter what anyone says.

buying expensive shit is awesome for a while but it gets old. especially if you already have a home you actually like living in and the 'expensive toys and experiences' itch has been scratched for a while because your business was already successful by the time you sold it. i don't want a huge house and i don't need another car or overpriced workstation computer.

it makes me wonder what drives billionaires to keep going. they're probably just bored when they're not working. it really might be as simple as that.

Even if it burns fewer hydrocarbons per mile, the shorter travel time means that more people will want to use it.
I strongly disliked that writeup.

(1) The linear extrapolation of maximum speed over time--a trend that is driven almost entirely by the Concorde--to 2,500 miles per hour today is ludicrous. I thought this was a joke when I first read it but the author seemed to take it seriously.

(2) The decrease in speed (which is slight, ignoring the Concorde) has more to do with deregulation and airlines competing on price post-1978 than with the speed limit. Flying somewhat slower is more fuel efficient, and when customers choose flights based on cost being fuel efficient means being competitive. The author makes no mention of this factor.

It may be reasonable to remove the speed limit, but it would almost certainly not result in a broad renaissance of supersonic commercial flight. As a niche for the rich, like the Concorde was, maybe. But the majority of travelers are still going to select cheaper subsonic flights, and PR pressure to fly more fuel efficient planes will also bolster subsonic flight.

Both the examples in the article are agency/consulting businesses. There's a reason for that. Such businesses offer no respite of any kind, especially so if you've decided to scale. You're constantly on the hook to find new clients, and to meet the demand, hire more employees, and then, find even more clients because the hires aren't getting utilized enough. And let's not forget about downturns. Even a small dip is enough to left you scrambling to pay your employees. In most cases, the revenue multiple tends to be much on the lower side in the case of a sale. So, don't except a big pay day.

I am not saying, product business is easy either. But, consulting business is relatively easier to start and lures you into thinking that it will also be easy to scale, which is an easy trap to fall into. With entrepreneurship, the kind of ship you're driving matters. I don't think there's much to regret when you're running a profitable software business with 80% gross margins and <10 employees. In today's economy, it's not an impossible dream.
No, what allowed that was them not requiring two people to be on the flight deck. That’s insane to me (and doesn’t happen in the US which customarily has a two person rule, which I believe is defined in Part 121, but still trying to find it).
