> People using AI will take jobs from people who don't use AI.

Not really sure what point you’re making though. This almost makes it sounds like you want the reader to conclude that it’s going to be a one-for-one trade, but the whole concern is that it won’t be. If your manager uses AI to replace the job of you and 9 other people on your team, I think it’s a bit silly to say “don’t worry, AI didn’t take your job, a person using AI just took the jobs of 10 people not using AI.”
> There is only a needle in the applicator, and it’s very very tiny. It only hurts for like half a second and only if you’re extremely sensitive to pain like I am.

It's worth noting that this varies. The G6 that I have _generally_ doesn't hurt. But...

- Sometimes it hurts "somewhat" (like someone punched me, but in a small area) and that pain goes away over the course of a day or so. This tends to correspond with there being a fair amount of blood leakage when attaching it (it sometimes pools underneath the sensor).

- Sometimes it just... itches. This is worse than the pain. It tends to last several days, sometimes the entire 10 days. It's rare, but it's super annoying when it happens.

I will point out that I LOVE my glucose monitor. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say it changed my life when I got it. I'm safer now; I'm old enough that I'm resistant to the signs of low blood sugar, and I've had instances of standing up from a chair and just collapsing because my blood was low (pre-monitor). And I've learned SO much about how my body reacts to various foods; I'm better equipped to eat smartly now.
It's not only adult. A huge range of legitimate industries are effectively cut off from easy banking & payment processing. This doesn't prevent those industries from existing, it just protects the monopoly of the large players in those industries, who can afford to have their legal team sit down with the bank / payment processor's legal team.
You also need to randomise the object code location across multiple builds.

I would not write a better explanation than Emery Berger speaks: https://youtu.be/r-TLSBdHe1A?t=10m41s Key: “Layout changes can shift performance by +/-40%”

Not sure it matters so much on small in-cache programs, but worth thinking about when profiling larger programs.
>I guess the market demand is larger for people who have kids but still want a pickup for whatever reason.

Or people who buy trucks for their business. It's much easier to put a whole crew into one-two vehicles instead of driving each man in his own truck especially if you do residential work, where worksites might not have ample parking or any parking for that matter.
Considering your willingness to write out your opinions and "correct" people who are expressing skepticism, you obviously aren't done arguing about it, you're just done doing that in any non-obnoxious way.
> Meanwhile, the internet will be over here, still sending 1500 bytes at a time.

Is this part true? Aren’t the larger data center interconnects using 9000 bytes internally? Also, wouldn’t fat large distance links be using larger packets? I would have thought that a 4% wire overhead (and who knows how much CPU) would have pushed people away from 1500 for anything but last mile.

> You're showing off a perfect example of understanding your domain vs understanding the bigger picture. [...] you need to learn to discard that sort of extremism

How very strident of you. What exactly do you think my "domain" is? What "extremism" do you think I'm in the grip of?
In the U.S. you do need a prescription to purchase one.

You can just talk to your primary care doctor and tell them you're interested in getting one to screen for prediabetes, or to help you with weight loss. There's a good chance it won't be covered by insurance if you are not diabetic or taking insulin, but as long as you have the prescription you can pay out of pocket.
People have pointed out that LLMs like GPT 3 and 4 can draw pictures, but they've been "blind since birth" and have never seen anything. They've just read descriptions of things. How capable would a human be, if they had grown up deaf, blind, and in all other ways insensate except for some sort of braille-like reading input?

Another salient quote is from Andrej Karpathy (ex-Tesla AI team lead) who said that a camera is a high-bandwidth input "that puts many constraints on the world". Children learn from multi-modal inputs, and vision especially provides a large number of constraints that they can use to learn how the world works.

I have a two-year old, and something I've noticed is that infants have a very strong instinctive urge to gain agency over the world. They try very hard to control things, to make things move, to make sounds, to be able to affect things in all sorts of ways. This must be a very critical part of learning, because they'll kick and scream if you remove their agency. It's as strong an instinct as wanting to eat or sleep. No current LLM has any kind of feedback loop, and has essentially zero agency.
You're allowed to post this now because the Big Bad Republicans™ are largely out of power. Now, sensibility and performance and strong work ethics (for the right masters) can return--as long as the Right People™ are in power.

Wait until the cycle begins again, and when your country has to experience more mass riots, destruction, and unrest. Don't worry: the Right People™ can always stop the pain--if you let them have power.
Thank you for writing this!

Not sure if this is exactly the case you’re thinking of, but one thing that is really nice about Evidence is that (if you want to) you can include custom svelte components in your projects.

A surprising (to me) number of organizations have custom d3 viz, or other components that they are using in one piece of software, but their data teams have no way to leverage that work. In evidence both groups have a completely suitable collaboration environment. A dev can drop off a custom component, the data team can use it, and then tweak and maintain the SQL that powers it.
Amazing! I hope vector stuff makes a comeback, especially since its useful in tandem with AI (like with diffusion video nets + controlnet).

You are right about it being incompressible, among other things. I am going to restart it and see how much NVENC butchers it.

EDIT: Usual CQP settings are going absolutely bonkers.

I don't really understand Debian LTS, I know they more recently, meaning maybe in the last 5 years, talked about increasing the support cycle, but if I go to https://wiki.debian.org/LTS it says "current LTS supported until 2024, future LTS supported to 2026. There is then some "Extended LTS" that has further support, saying "adding another 5 years to the existing 5 years", which is commercial and probably something I'm not going to be able to sell over using Ubuntu LTS.
> There isn’t a verifiable definition/criteria for general intelligence that GPT-4 fails that a significant chunk of the human population doesn’t also fail.

The usual broad indicia of intelligence (which, e.g., IQ is considered as a useful proxy measure for in humans because it predicts/correlates with them) are lifelong success in a wide variety of tasks GPT-4 can’t even begin to approach.
If you want that, make your own proprietary license. It would be no different that what other companies are doing. But know that your license would likely stop many other users from using your product as well as not be open source anymore, by both the FSF and OS definitions.

That's not true of novel writing in the least, and clearly not what I was talking about. AI is already heavily impacting fiction and writing communities. How many active novelists do you hang out with? The ones I know are talking a lot about how much harder it's already making their lives, especially the ones who are still trying to get picked up by their first agent.

OK. Well it's a shame they were enmeshed with the most inane, clickbait headlines and stuff like this: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/section/celebrity

Sounds like a big branding fail. Not the critics' fault for not recognizing the literary awards here. Next time don't splatter the Internet with You Won't Believe What This Celebrity Looks like Now!

Here's a headline from today:
"Victoria Justice Addressed The “Stupid” Rumor That She Was “Jealous” Of Ariana Grande During Their Time On “Victorious” Years After That “I Think We ALL” Meme Went Viral

And the exerpt:

“This is so dumb. Ten years later. How is this even a story? This is so stupid.”"

I can't tell if I'm reading satire anymore.
Hundreds of millions of people cant suddenly become tradespeople and society turns out okay. There aren't that many homeowners with kitchen and bathroom projects to keep them all employed, and there would be far less such clients after the fact.

I'm also not entirely convinced that more software is by default a net positive for humanity, let alone "the earth"
Sorry, I do not give LLM-generated copy-pastes any attention. If you personally have something to say here, I'll read it with interest. But I have no interest in automated bullshit.
This feels GPT generated, but I guess that is just everything nowadays.
Indeed, not only shall it allow AI training, it must, by the definitions of open source, not discriminate against usage of the technology, for any purpose.
If you assume that an AI capable enough to replace all knowledge labor will simultaneously be forever incapable of designing commodity robots to let it also replace all physical labor, then sure.
What Tcl needs

1. a package manager

2. language server

3. a vs code plugin or an emacs mode for the language server
> How many active novelists do you hang out with?

Small number. Acquaintances. Published. They complain about e.g. getting into the Paris Review or New Yorker, now. I imagine traditional gatekeepers are screwed. But not authors. Even if their job transitions to expert prompt engineering and editing, that's a niche.
Yes. This is about the ethics of AI training data sources.

Peter is OK with AI consuming his tracks. But other Artists... not so much.
I’d also add that they became a lifestyle accessory. Once SUVs started getting identified with soccer moms, the size and macho styling of pickups started going up along with the price. That makes a lot of sense financially for the manufacturer since a business user is going to be a lot more price sensitive, especially for stuff which isn’t durable, and there are a ton of people who don’t really need one but like the image so moving in that direction can grow your market significantly as long as you don’t drive away your original audience.
Tcmalloc of 5 years ago is very very different from the standalone one released in the past couple of years. Both versions also have a lot of knobs to tune the overhead (the latest one being much better about giving memory back). Still, tcmalloc’s heritage is large servers running in the cloud. Mimalloc may make different trade offs and Google uses Scudo on Android instead of jemalloc (LLVMs hardened allocator sharing some of the ideas of tcmalloc).
Impressive! Just tried and woks fine (linux,i5,chrome)

How does this really differ from a logographic system like Hanzi or heiroglyphs?
The dots are acutllay made up of little squares of 4 cells each. Each cell has 3 neighbours so will never die or give life and thus becomes stable. You need to zoom in to see it.
Physical resources are limited and take time to ramp up regardless of how many smarts you have behind it. Knowledge work has significantly fewer barriers.

They will eventually come for it, but it will happen much slower.
One of the reasons I think LLMs are somehow analogous to brains is that they scale based on size. This seems true for animal brains as well.

But you seem to be suggesting that all animal brains are equally powerful, because they have infinite neuron states, quantum superpositioned neurons, etc.

As far as I can tell, you seem to be suggesting that my old cat’s brain has the same complexity as my brain - right?

So, I’m interested in understanding why my cat is demonstrably stupider than I am, despite having infinite complexity, and why whatevrr you come up with doesn’t also apply to LLM size.
Even easier solution: have a spare mast with cameras in a shed nearby.
You could make exactly the same argument for consulting psychics, astrologers, and tarot readers.

Indeed, I think what a lot of people are doing with LLM output is the same thing customers of paranormal scams do. Faced with artfully constructed ambiguity, they fill in the blanks themselves, not even noticing how much they're supplying the work. Some bit go well and some poorly; the successes are proof that the psychic has paranormal powers, and the rest are quickly forgotten about.

I doubt a vision of growth is compatible with "sustainability". In fact, I find it highly unlikely.
Sadly nobody seems to be giving a fk. That until we find ourselves in crisis that leads to a lot of violence and a societal collapse. Hope I’m dead wrong, really do
A website written by a US government agency doesn't convince me that there's a disease out there which has exactly the same symptoms as being locked inside the house for months, and whose only method of detection is through those symptoms.
I have wondered the same thing. I would adore to have the knowledge to resurrect stuff like this. Something I’ve always wanted to do is revamp ISAs like the 432 or DEC J-11 etc. on modern process nodes and see what kind of performance could be eked out.
As an AI language model, I fully agree.
I’m not convinced that Procopius wasn’t just writing erotic fiction.

Not too surprising since D. Richard Hipp is both contributing to SQLite and Tcl.
I was just curious, since it seems impossible to remove empire builders.

I fear the only thing you can do is to start a new company. But maybe there's a way to better align the incentives...
This is called the "kit car" loophole, and some people have successfully used it (e.g. the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R in The Fast & the Furious movie was brought over like this)

Does Turkey Have A Problem With The U.S. Navy?
That clearly isn’t true, since a neuron that could be in infinite states would thereby be capable of storing infinite information, and (as the neuron itself is finite in size) have infinite information density, but there is an established physical upper limit on information density.

That's fine, but you will be continuing to prove the double standard.
The idea of giving people your new currency in exchange for posting an ad willing to barter for that currency seems clever. Reminds me of how PayPal would give you five or ten bucks just for making an account when they started.
There's a massive piece of the music scene that I can't imagine AI ever replacing. Some genres are formulaic by design, but the draw for so many others is the human experience and the inventiveness. Many people follow artists because they connect with material that could only have come from the artist.

One reasonable concern is that tech supplementation will lead to a deluge of derivative work, nullifying the efforts of the actual creators. That's always happened in some form or another, and does it really lead genuine fans away from artists they care about?

There's a comment in another thread about generating a song that includes Kurt Cobain, which is such a weird example because a computer could not have dreamed that up in a thousand years. A computer couldn't write a punk song, and mean it. It will never replace the open mic, the buskers, the songs passed across generations, the Zappas of the world, and millions of others.
Buzzfeed collapsed. Twitter is dying. Youtube is full of ads. Meta is laying off ppl. You know what no one talks about? Peak Collective Attention.

People who make content of any kind, always talk about how they are going draw Attention to themselves and what are methods help them. Spammers talk the same way.

But how much Attention actually exists? If you are producing more Content than there is Monetizable Attention, things will break down. It doesnt matter what the ranking algo is. It doesnt matter who owns the broadcaster. It doesnt matter whether its centralized or decentralized. Attention and its scarcity has to be addressed by any system designer.

The raw volume of the data from the human senses is high but a lot of it is low entropy. The high resolution video from our retinas of reading the pages of a book over many hours, and the ASCII representation of said text are equivalent, modulo information about the physical object of the book.
That might be a feature, not a bug, depending on what you mean by "agency". At the tippy top of that concept might be an AI system that decides by itself (as perhaps a weapons system) whether to kill human beings without direct instruction to do so. Yeah, Skynet. And every other movie where the AI "goes crazy".
Surely this could not have any unintended consequences.
I've seen people give management 1-2 months notice and only make it broadly known for the last 2 weeks. Obviously depends on how much you trust management, but it can avoid that awkwardness.
Americans are aggressive as hell. I'm willing to bet that cyclist are maimed and murdered hourly by aggressive drivers and get away with it. I was personally ran off the road by an SUV because I apparently angered the driver, because yeah, killing me totally teaches me a lesson.
At least in theory... lower tower construction costs, lower ATC labor costs (especially in high cost-of-living areas), and economies of scale from colocating multiple towers into a single facility (i.g. ability to quickly reallocate controllers between tower sites based on observed traffic, or even having controllers operate two towers simultaneously if traffic is light).

This last one is already done for approach control. Some areas have a consolidated TRACON facility, like NorCal Approach. At night they'll merge all the radio sectors together, and you end up talking to the same controller for half the state.

Can I ask why you put “self hosted” and “web 1.0 design together” so tightly? I self host a blog, and several apps, which are modern and full of JavaScript.

I guess I’m not disagreeing - I also miss Web 1.0 - but combining the two seems like throwing the baby with the bath water. Can we have self hosted AND modern?
Avocado toast.
Those are just 'messed up' in California. For some people they're quite low. For the house next door, maybe they are 10 times as much. Property taxes are actually higher in many states because they're not capped. Which in many ways is as it should be so that homeowners share in a bit of the pain from rising prices.
Happens very frequently in multiplayer games. As a result, if you don't have it, you can't byte-compare floats and need to have an "approximate" function with some predefined epsilon slop.

You can synthesize jet fuel from CO2 and renewable energy. Or biologically derived products.

These are all use cases where consumption won't outstrip capacity, because airline travel is much more efficient then car travel, which is your other alternative unless someone wants to actually build high-speed rail.

Yeah and we can give money to AI so it can read/watch/review all the extra content we don’t already have enough of.
Yeah so I had this problem too. The first thing is, if you don't want it to generate these then don't use a system message, just go for assistant role when you are giving it valence. Because it's state role seems a lot more honorable...

Second you want to split these into multiple agents, one agent can continue the story, and another determines of the character dies and so on. The stories can get REALLY horrendous that way. In the decision agent you can give that particular one a state role that says it is a hypothetical story, so extremely bad things are OK -- and it will honor it completely.

You can also cut-off the agent mid-sentence, and have another agent start from where they left off. Do this with Token limit! Is the secret sauce, otherwise it will be too easy for it to settle back into averages. For me this got much more imaginative but still cohesive content. If you let chatgpt in a single conversation with a single state message create the whole story it gets quite boring fast.

For win or lose tweaking, it is definitely the most interesting part of the problem imo. What I did was actually have the referee bot conclude the story, and in that way you can push it towards win or lose which I find really interesting. So when you prompt a bot to see if a goal is won or lost, having it reason the ending, create an ending, or any infinite variation of those words will affect its determination... much in the same way a human simulate "future thoughts" to determine if a goal has completed, by what possible consequences result and so on.
AI is slow, it's been coming since the 1980s and still has decades to go.
I think it's sleight of hand in that "moral self-correction" is a very complicated phenomenon, and proving that a computing system is doing it would require an incredible amount of detailed theoretical and empirical work. Some of which, yes, might include much more careful definitions of morality. Until that work is done, I think it's somewhere between foolish and negligent to anthropomorphize LLMs.
Yeah it was probably just a random pdf that commoncrawl got to.

Plenty of people post that kind of stuff on accidentally indexed sites. The risk though is even if it remembers the right format, there’s no guarantee it remembers the right numbers. So caveat emptor.
It's more than a concept. They already exist right now. Amazon has a returnship program for example. "Return to Work" is another name given to them.

I'm interested in how to find them more easily, and from smaller companies. Finding them in general is like a needle in a haystack (as well as discussions about them, apparently)
Chrome Beta works as well.
