In big companies a winning strategy I found is to avoid communicating with managers and get things done and then show them what you did and let them do their best to manage it to death. Communicate with other technical people you trust as you develop your solution but don't give managers an opportunity to say yes or no as much as possible.

In these emails it looks like managers/execs are trying to figure out how they could/can beat apple. My answer: get out of the way of the highly talented people you've hired. The business aspect is only possible with a technical solution people like (not zune!). MS has many products like that that feel like a committee of managers designed them and really smart engineers did their best to overcome those decisions (until the last few years at least).

Making the guy who wrote sysinternals (got shit done despite MS) as head of Azure is one if their best decisions. Not that Azure is the best but it is definetly very usable and very popular with enterprise customers.

Nice list, zerotier does offer sharing as long as you add it to the network, or even having it public, but keep in mind it will share everything as if you’re normally connected with other members in the network, or create a separate network for the sharing purposes.
This is pretty nice. I just tested it out in a browser.

I am wondering if I could wire this up to a Vicuna 13B model on the desktop.
The AMD 6000 series has 128-bit LPDDR5 as an option, the 7000 series had LPDDR5X. This is similar to the M1/M2.

The Pro/Max have double/quadruple that bus width. But they are much bigger/more expensive chips.
Their ability to move fast and build successful products that bloated big companies couldn't was what made FAANG what they were.

Then, they themselves became the big bloated companies they once beat.
Call me crazy, but I have literally no anxiety. As best I can tell, LLM's are basically good at BS'ing, in the technical sense of Harry G. Frankfurt's work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

Now, there are certainly consequences, but given how awful the track record of predictions about "technology [x] will have consequence [y]" has been, I doubt we will be able to predict it, and there are many previous AI waves (remember IBM's Watson, that beat Ken Jennings at Jeopardy, and Deep Blue, that beat Kaspersky at chess?) which ended up impressing a lot of people and then having little impact. Perhaps this will end up accomplishing more. But, given how excellent it as at Harry Frankfurt's specific definition of BS, we should expect it to be better at impressing people than at doing anything else.

I'd like to see a write up on why that is, because it seems like an insanely stupid arrangement at face value.
I live outside of NYC, most of the folks in my town are young families with 2 or 3 kids. Every family has an SUV. Maybe at a given time mom might drive to work alone, but there's plenty of road trips, carpools, etc.

I used to be a "small car" guy, now I am an "SUV dad". We have a Toyota Highlander and it's "fully utilized" pretty often. Changes your perspective.
At the end of the day perhaps the most insight we'll get into why the model is saying what it does will be to ask it! Far from ideal of course, and no better than asking a person why they said/did something (which is often an after-the-fact guess). However, at least any such explanation may be using the same internal model/reasoning as what generated the speech in the first place, so conversational probing may support some sort of triangulation into what was behind it!
Fake edit: this is why it's helpful when discussing quantum mechanics to banish "is" from your vocabulary. For example, the debate over whether an electron "is" a particle or "is" a wave is much more tractable when you switch to debating whether it behaves like a particle or a wave in some situation. In college, I found this very similar to how it is useful when learning relativity to avoid the word "simultaneously".
was that the case during the referenced time period? I think it's more about back then rather than now.

TSA took over airport security.
I tried giving it a run locally and found some annoying stuff.

On first startup and login, I found myself already connected to the libera network. Of course it failed to connect, as it chose my username as the IRC username and it was taken there. Nevertheless, I don't think automatically connecting to an arbitrary server with an arbitrary username without asking user anything is the correct behavior.

My next step was to delete the libera connection, as I wanted to connect to a different IRC server. The delete button does nothing, but in the HTTP requests log you can see that you actually cannot delete the "default" connection, and there must always be one.

After playing around, I finally attempted to connect to my server, only to find that I somehow created a second connection with an id of "" (it says so near the deletion interface).

Finally I accidentally pressed "Log out" and was met with a 404 in my browser, and a "Use of uninitialized value $str in substitution (s///) at /app/local/lib/perl5/Mojo/Util.pm line 408." in my logs.

I don't mean to demotivate the devs, as I would certainly use a kind of browser-based IRC client due to lack of native IRC clients on macOS, but as it happens, it's very lacking at even most basic user stories, while at the same time supporting file uploads and video chats for some reason. Something like HexChat or Konversation or Quassel for bouncer-users is still miles better.
Show me an industry that hasn't raised prices since the 60s.
Idk. about the US but where I live in the EU a _lot_ of people think that driving a SUV without needing the off-road capabilities is at least egoistic if not outright asocial.

And given that this area (and many others) have "good enough(1)" streets so that the huge majority of people don't need the off-road capabilities of a SUV it's pretty easy to be for people to assume that you are egoistic or worse when they see you driving a SUV.

This bias is probably reinforced by the coincidence(?) that the group of people driving SUVs here has a big overlap with some groups often associated with entitled egoistic behaviour.

Somehow it often feels that the people insisting on driving a SUV without a need for it are using it like an armor they ware because they are afraid of the outside world.

(1): The requirements for a road to not need a SUV are pretty low IMHO. Sure you might need a "good enough" ground clearance, motor and brakes in mountain areas, but you can get that without an SUV, many (most?) new non-sport cars fall into this category.
what do you mean by "local" and "remote" here?

> with people buying cheap airline tickets, airports have found a solution by turning themselves halfway into malls

This is entirely overlooking the fact that you are a captive of the airport as long as the TSA screening process exists. At best, going through security is annoying and adds anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours of wait time, and at worst it is legitimately traumatizing.

Prices are high simply because people are punished for leaving on foot, and people are prohibited from bringing many goods through security.

That's obviously not the only accident that can happen. Someone can rear end you while you are parked, and I'm pretty sure everyone would rather be in a larger vehicle in that case.
Food is not forbidden. I passed security gates with food multiple times on multiple airports - still sealed food like peanuts or candy bars, but also homemade sandwiches.

Drinks are the problem, but water is not that expensive, and some airports have drinkable water for free near toilets.

There are less obscure uses for broadcast in those networks. For example mDNS "just works". You may not have an automated DNS at the service level, but you can use avahi to discover your other services or use .local without any extra config.
That's just the size premium.
In my opinion, larger vehicles are just a product of car culture, and even those who buy small cars are contributing to a society that requires people to have cars, which inevitably leads to larger cars in the long run.

This. It was a regulation that was passed to encourage fleet level average MPG standards for auto companies, by the way. And just like everything else that is causing massive problems in our society, gigantic trucks are an outcome of a loophole in a system that was entirely predictable.

Here's an article from 2011 predicting our current automotive market: https://me.engin.umich.edu/news-events/news/cafe-standards-c...

And here's the relevant section that called it from the get-go - emphasis mine:

At issue was this: Some companies offer full model lines, from cars to large SUVs and pickups, but some don’t. How could there be a overreaching fuel-economy standard that penalized companies like Ford and GM, while carmakers that sold only smaller cars effortlessly abided by the rules? So the concept of vehicle footprint was added. Models that ran large, crossing specific length-by-width thresholds‚ would have less ambitious fuel-economy targets. While the Obama administration has pushed for more aggressive CAFE numbers, the amended regulations retain the footprint-based leniency towards bigger cars and light trucks.

The result is a loophole, allowing the entire auto industry to sidestep some of the more painful efficiency requirements by inflating vehicle footprints. And historically, drivers almost always lean toward larger vehicles. “In general, if everything else about the vehicle is the same, consumers prefer the bigger one, with the roomier interior,” says Kate Whitefoot, a senior program officer at the National Academy of Engineering and the lead author of the paper (she was a doctoral student at the time of the study). Combine a regulatory loophole with a built-in, well-known customer choice, and the industry lurches towards the inevitable: larger models and more light trucks.
We need a better way to help these people live life without committing crimes.

My suggestion is a type of UBI that is immediate, fair, and would immediately be effective at easing some of the desperation these people must feel.

I propose a tower that drops money. $1 every minute. The price of such a tower in dollars would be just over a half a million dollars per year. It would serve as a tourist attraction, and a way for someone needing a few dollars to get them without begging, without stealing, without stigma. It would put dollars in people's pockets that would be spent at nearby businesses. I don't see a downside.

The town I live in, Pine Bluff Arkansas, has an organization called Go Forward Pine Bluff. They waste so much tax money it's unbelievable, and the things they do don't benefit the people.

I'm fighting them as hard as I can, and I hope to someday build a tower like that in this town.
I think the difference today though is the developers do have the ability to tweak every single tiny little detail of the game in order to tackle these kinds of things, whereas in a physical sport there's really a limit to what you can change to "fix" issues that don't fundamentally change the entire game.

Games like DOTA are great examples. There are countless times where the devs have done something like "moved single tree 0.25 in game metres to the left" (noting that there's probably >1000 trees on the map) to address ridiculously tiny optimisation "exploits".

You just can't control the environment in physical sports the same way, so finding real "balance" that optimises for skill rather than just stats optimisation is going to be nearly impossible.
The only exception is when I've accidentally, and stupidly, left the pan with only olive oil in it in full heat and went off to do something else, at which point it starts smoking and smelling bad.

Getting a little off-topic here, but as a former firefighter, please allow me to plead with everyone reading this to not ever start cooking (on the stove-top anyway) and "go off to do something else." Fires start (and spread) much more rapidly than most people's naive intuitions tell them, and we're also much more vulnerable to getting distracted and forgetting about the cooking, than most of us want to admit.

Note that cooking (particularly including unattended cooking) is generally the leading cause of structure fires, at least in the US in recent history.

https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Fire-causes-and-risks/...

Cooking was the leading cause of reported home fires and home fire injuries in 2015-2019 and the second leading cause of home fire deaths. Cooking caused 49 percent of reported home fires, 20 percent of reported home fire deaths, and 42 percent of home fire injuries.

Based on 2014-2018 annual averages:

Two-thirds of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.
Clothing is the item first ignited in less than 1% of these fires, but clothing ignitions caused 8% of the home cooking fire deaths.
Ranges or cooktops account for three-fifths of home cooking fire incidents.
Unattended equipment is a factor in one-third of reported home cooking fires and over half of the associated deaths.
Frying dominates the cooking fire problem.
Not only do they refuse to fix it, every time I've brought it up, they insist it isn't a mistake, and this way is better than, or no worse than, what Java does.
Absolutely. This was the case even when the artist won that art competition using midjourney. The overall mood of the picture was nice but the moment you looked at it a little more closely, everything that wasn’t the immediate subjects kind of warped into nonsense.

>The really silly thing is that unlike at a movie theater, you can make yourself the same sandwich for $1.50 and bring it with you to the plane. The US has plugged this loophole, at least to a certain extent, by seizing your food even if you just have a stopover between two other countries. (They took my banana in NYC on a flight from Paris to Vancouver and I'm still bitter about it.)

Whether it's silly or not, this isn't some new thing to boost revenue at airports. The US has long prohibited the "importation" of food items through airports. In fact, that was a key theme to the 1971 film, La Mortadella[0].

I'm not saying it's a good policy (I even "smuggled" some wonderful Dutch gouda into JFK myself a few years back), nor am I saying it makes sense in this day an age, but it (IIUC) has nothing to do with trying to make you pay more for food at the airport.

I think you beat up your own strawman. True, development on the device is harder because of the form factor, but what truly makes it harder is devices are more complex, so everything else is more complex. It means more complicated API, frameworks, IDEs, etc.

I don't know why you interpret that that way, but I sure hope you don't write the autopilot to any planes I might fly in or anythimg else important with such logic.

I did not say or imply or suggest to "do something, anything" without caring if it's sensible or effective.

"anything" simply means there is no limit to the possible suitable things.

There is also no limit to the possible unsuitable things, but so what?

It is beyond stupid to take that starting point and conclude that anyone suggested "Maybe Gooogle should issue Tarot decks to all employees to determine if they should press enter at the end of every shell command." just because, after all, that is something and included in "anything".

I can't know which of the infinite possible detailed measures make sense within Google's environment. But I don't have to to still know that they exist. The details will depend on internal details only they know.

If I say "wrap the pip command in an internal wrapper that performs various checks" surely there is some reason that is not practical or not effective enough, exactly as stated. Or maybe that would exactly clear it all up. But if not, ok so something else then. Have some imagination. But that does not remotely imply random nonsense.
This is going to change because too much money in indexes means not enough capital is chasing winners, and is instead enjoying the rising tide. That is okay and it is sustainable. But it still means that the upside for the ones who do chase winners and who succeed in placing correct bets on great companies will be more and more massive. Because the delta in capital from the index to the cream of the crop will be way larger in absolute terms as the indexes grow in size, and the winners will continue to prop up a huge rising tide of continued innovation.

I’d be worried if nobody could beat the market. 7% to 15% beating the market seems reasonable to me. The market is an incredible abstraction and it works, and it’s also still great and reassuring to know that there’s still an echelon of actively managed funds that beat the market.

No. It is a mathematical fact that matrices fulfill the conditions of forming a vector space (subject to reasonable conditions like having elements drawn from a field). Matrices are just as differentiable as (other) vectors!

I think you're arguing that a matrix with constant real entries isn't differentiable with the standard derivative. This is true of course, but hasn't anything to do with vectors.
