There's a bit in Xenophon's Anabasis (1.8.18) where the armies of two contenders for the throne of the Persian Empire, Cyrus and Artaxerxes, meet in battle. Cyrus's army has a contingent of Greek mercenaries, including Xenophon, who gives the Greek view of the battle in some detail. The armies draw up into lines and slowly advance towards each other, until suddenly the Greeks charge:

καὶ ἅμα ἐφθέγξαντο πάντες οἷον τῷ Ἐνυαλίῳ ἐλελίζουσι

and at the same time they all uttered the cry as for the Warlike One [ie Ares, god of war]

καὶ πάντες δὲ ἔθεον

and all flew forward

λέγουσι δέ τινες ὡς καὶ ταῖς ἀσπίσι πρὸς τὰ δόρατα ἐδούπησαν

they say that some loudly beat their shields with their spears

φόβον ποιοῦντες τοῖς ἵπποις

sowing fear among the horses

(the Greek is Xenophon's [1], the English my crummy translation)

So, screaming and drumming to scare the enemy and his horses!

The reason i remember this bit about thirty years later is that the word for a war-cry here is "ἐλελίζουσι", "elelizousi". My teacher suggested that this was onomatopoeic, because the cry itself was "ELELELELELELE...", which would be pretty easy to make as you were running towards an enemy, and would be pretty upsetting to hear, coming from thousands of armoured Greeks. As sort of evidence for that, the same word also means "to whirl round" [2], and you can imagine that whirling an object round on a string (as with a sling) would also make the same sort of sound. Wiktionary reckons it's from some proto-Indo-European root, but what do they know, they've probably never charged anyone in their lives, the nerds.

The article goes to lengths to describe how the government, specifically the DEA are limiting supply by issuing edicts to pharmaceutical companies. Corporations don't generally defy government edicts, especially ones that lead to raids and jail time, so we really can say it's the government's doing here, rather than particularly self-limiting behavior on the part of the pharmaceutical companies.

That the government is threatening defiance of edicts with fines and jail time and not using direct means to stop additional production is not a distinction worth making - the government is limiting the supply of these medications.

Overall a good article. I learned that the financial news company Bloomberg has built a ChatGPT called BloombergGPT trained on a corpus of 700 billion tokens.

Here is the actual research paper from ,

I can't tell if this is Bloomberg's attempt at solving a problem or if they are doing this out of FOMO.

It'll do great. As everyone in the industry knows, past performance is always indicative of future results.
OP is saying GPT is the equivalent of an old Nokia feature phone. However cellphones really blew up once Apple figured out how to make smartphones broadly appealing with multi touch (prior to that you had things like Windows CE, Blackberry and Palm, but those were extremely more limited than what the iPhone delivered).

In other words the jump ahead from GPT to broadly useful AI is akin to the jump from the old Nokia feature phone to iPhone. Don’t let the current limitations of GPT color what you think AI will be generally capable of within the next decade.
Hardly a new phenomenon. Dave Ramsey is a perfect example.
And those who can’t teach, denigrate teachers.

Literally the best thing you can do to increase your understanding of something is to teach it to someone.
Granted that stuff like that exists. What I question is whether teachers are actually being taught and accepting this in any sort of meaningful numbers, rather than simply existing as a handful of isolated publications that are largely ignored; do you know how widespread that is?

Institutional corruption will not be solved by losing trust in the institutions. When the institution dies because nobody trusts it you don't all of a sudden get good health care.

So if you believe that our medical institutions are corrupted, anger at the institution itself is misdirected. The corruptive force is billionaires and the measurement for the level of corruption is wealth disparity.

Lowering the sails will be critical to safe operation in bad weather. The deployment process will be easily reversible, so that within a few minutes you can go from full sail to fully stowed (or any place in between), likely with emergency settings to bring the sail down faster. We don't want to limit the weather a ship would sail in without diversion, but instead just make use of reasonable winds when they are present. We certainly will want to make future software for route planning assistance, but our first step will not require the ship to change course or speed to see benefits of the sails. It's certainly worth it over all to follow the wind, but for ease of adoption that can come later.
If you read the rentry you'll see that both of them were working on an issue that l29ah raised, along with other users. jart's work was on something that didn't end up making it in, the malloc() approach. slaren is the one who wrote the code in the commits I linked to, and that's the code that was adopted. You can (and should) do a comparison of the mmap code and see. What I wrote about the version change, magic number, WIN32, etc., is all true too. As is the haste with which the new PR was made, leading to the recent pushes to revert due to swap thrashing and anger over false and rushed claims about "miracle RAM reduction" etc.

In fact, if you read the thread you linked to, you'll see this for yourself too, no reentry required. There's nothing actually objectionable or "repulsive," as jart put it, in that renetry, with an exception of the "r word" being applied to a proposed technical solution.

Your interpretation is incompatible with what we see and the clear timeline. The social media bragging, the second PR, etc., are further evidence. I hope whatever anger you had going into this has abated to the point where you can now actually judge the evidence.
>Why would something that they’re giving away, to presumably everyone on Earth, become worth millions?

There's no conspiracy here -- the nuclear safety is just so darn expensive, and for rational reasons.

It is safer, yes, but only once a lot of resources is spent on safety. So nuclear power generation is very inexpensive and expensive at the same time, depending on amount of effort put into its safety (with modern scientific knowledge on fission, I'd say like 90% of a reactor cost is ensuring its safety).

I honestly hoped that NuScale production could reduce some significant fraction of that safety costs by "commoditizing" the production. Kinda like airplanes are very safe in a big part because their production and maintenance processes are streamlined and actively practiced ("economy of scale").

For anyone who doesn't know, DECtalk didn't always sound like that Happy Birthday song. Think more like Stephen Hawking.

I got to play with DECtalk around 1999, when it was already old, and IIRC required us dusting off an old SGI workstation that could run it in software.

We had a school homework assignment to hand-tune DECtalk encodings of famous lines of speeches by US statesmen, for dramatic delivery. "Essential liberty", "shall not perish from the earth!" etc. Prosody, stress, etc.
Chatgpt doesn't do anything independently or self instructed , it's a llm running on a transformer, it predicts the next characters/words based on its training and fine-tuning process . It doesn't understand what it is outputting, it may seem so , because the openai team kept shoving hacks and patchs into the model to increase its efficiency. So because it actually doesn't think , there is little we can derive from it about thinking.

Most car manufacturers had to deal with chip and part shortages. The way many of them handled it was delivering a car without features and offering to add the feature back when it's in stock free of charge or gave discounts for not including the feature.

The way Tesla handled it was piss poor. Removing USS 6 months before they had a solution. Delivering a half-baked solution that is less trustworthy than not having it all. And it's par for the course. Smart Summon hasn't had an update since 2019 and is a joke. Auto park is useless for most cases. If Tesla had come out and said "Look, supply chain is fucked, we're shipping without these features, but we'll add them back in the future" I don't think many people would be pissed. But them trying to frame it as a positive and better alternative, when it clearly isn't, is just annoying at this point.
For people new to this or not reading the text, the key words are "list of internet companies" during the dot com bubble. The monkey throwing darts had very little to do with it.

I like this attitude. I'd also need to see something truly compelling and exciting in the Google sphere to bother with their products and features at all anymore. The graveyard is too huge not to hesitate.

As you mention, there was quite a lot of this in the 1990s, and there are still lots of tools that employ this kind of workflow- django, for instance- for the admin side of the UI. These approaches are no good for anything user facing- design and UX is too important.

The larger issue is that no system is an island, from a data perspective, and most work is brown, not green field. Subscribers and policies already live in the system the company has been using for 20 years- well, likely in a dozen systems that the business has acquired from competitors and continues to operate while struggling with data integration. Meanwhile marketing and sales has been using multiple generations of SAAS tools, finance has their own on prem or SAAS tools- all of which need to work with a common set of entities but which have different opinions about exactly how those entities are shaped. This is the reason data lakes and SAAS ETLs are so important right now.

Static/dynamic generators don't solve a painpoint at this point. It's not about new systems/data, it's about existing systems and data. HTH.
> "Consider a theoretical world where people who are shorter always have bigger feet. Ben is taller than Paul, and Paul is taller than Andrew. Steve is shorter than Andrew. Everyone walks the same number of steps each day. All other things being equal, who would step on the most bugs and why?"

Because Ben is the tallest, his feet are the biggest, and because he takes the same amount of steps as the others, the amount of area he steps on is larger than the area that the others step on.

Therefore Ben is most likely to be the one to step on the most bugs.

Easy. And I'm not brilliant.

The problem with testing these tools is that you need to ask it a question that is not in their training sets. Most things have been proven, so if a proof is in its training set, the LLM just regurgitates it.

But I also disagree: if the "AI" can't reason about that, it can't reason because that one is so simple my pre-Kindergarten nieces and nephews can do it.

But even if not, the LLM's should have "knowledge" about exponential functions and factorial because the humans who wrote the material in their training sets did. So it's not a lack of knowledge.

And I claim that most humans could rediscover theorems from basic axioms; you've just never asked them to.
I'm inclined to think ChatGTP would outperform Cramer even without historical financial data.
Don't talk out of your ass. Cocaine comes with a much, much bigger euphoric rush than even methamphetamine, which has a much bigger rush than amphetamine. If your coke is less fun than some focus enhancement, it's because somebody sold you a gram of baking powder.

Basically all stimulants can be categorized by a level of euphoric rush, and a level of focus they provide. Caffeine sucks at both, methamphetamine rocks at both, cocaine's good for a body rush but isn't very good for focus, and amphetamine comes with relatively little euphoria for a methamphetamine-comparable level of focus.
Sad to remember that at one point, internet was decentralized and was not as easy to censor as today.

Kind of like the Stuka Siren/Scream[1] sound combined with the doppler effect the German planes used in WW2 to make that wailing sound that increased in frequency as they dive bombed. That sound carried quite a distance and instilled fear in anyone who heard it, which affected more people than those that were bombed. The Tie Fighters in Star Wars used a similar sound.

>The other is a boring study drug

That's quite the mischaracterization. Stimulants even at low doses increase the dopamine in the brain and lead to a mild high. I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever call Adderall "boring" before either. That's like calling alcohol boring, maybe someone may not like the experience, but they both have immediate and noticeable effects and it's not just "I love studying" either.

Even Scott's article has examples of this, here's a story of a little girl becoming very high from a prescription stimulant:

"A spontaneous report from the manufacturer of Strattera (atomoxetine) described a 7-year-old girl who received 18 mg daily of atomoxetine for the treatment of ADHD. Within hours of taking the first dose, the patient started talking nonstop and stated that she was happy. The next morning the child was still elated."
A bit like saying your car's engine is user replaceable. It is but it's wildly out of the skill set of most users.

A few simple replies to your statement and you fall apart like this? Have you never engaged in an argument or what?
Perhaps they are conflating terms, but a "funnel" (sans "click") exists outside of Brunson's product, and are a well established sales technique. They aren't really an upselling technique, but are what you would imagine the word describes: large numbers (less qualified) in the top, small numbers (most qualified) in the bottom.
It used to be you basically had to upgrade your computer and smartphone to do anything at all with it in a few years. Not just run the latest programs, but to just browse the web at all. Now a days, we've plateaued on compute for basic consumer purposes at least.

I use a 2012 mac. It only shows its age when I try and run a game on it. Other than that, for writing code, for watching things, reading, browsing, emails, zoom, etc, its no slower than anything modern I could buy. I hear the fans and it gets hot but there's no lag or anything, and it boots in a minute with the ssd I put in a few years ago. I did have a new mac for a bit recently, but I went back to this one because it was clear there wasn't much of a point with my usage for how much it cost. No withdraw from retina either, because at the distance you use a laptop you can't see the pixels on the 2012 anyhow. Maybe I can get another 11 years out of it at this rate.

As a father of a five year old, let me send some advice back in time to a dad with a zero year old!

I know this isn’t exactly what you were asking for — apologies please let me suggest changing your goal slightly to try and give your kid a message every year, not just all at once at twenty. More than that let me suggest you do this activity with your kid and not alone.

I’ve seen my child change so fast and I promise you they would rather have gifts and thoughts from you each year then in a big pile at the end. You will also know them much better five years from now (and ten and fifteen) so the letter will mean more to them because of what you know to put in it.

That said, you can still be clever with time! Every year you could write a letter to open in 1, 3, 5 and 10 years so a fifteen year old could have letters from several different times. Don’t forget to include pictures of you and your kid in each one and messages from the kid themselves. They will love it.

It turns out kids just want you to be with them. Use this as a way to be with them.

And lastly, if that suggestion doesn’t feel like enough to you, consider writing a journal about your life and write some of the more personal messages to them there instead. We can’t predict when our kid will want to know us as people better, but it’s probably well into adulthood. When that happens they won’t want advice as much as wanting to know you and all your dreams and struggles.

Good luck and congratulations!
