Yeah, sort of how Microsoft could argue that there exists two separate markets for Windows running on stationary compute devices and Windows for mobile devices.

You aren't mistaken. Keeping state, or storing memories, is where it's at with prompts. The trick is knowing what to remember and what to forget.

I consider vector engines to be "hot" models, given they are storing the vector representations of text already run through the "frozen" model.

Having written something a while back that indexes documents and enters into discussion with them, I'm pretty sure ChatGPT is using some type of embedding lookup/match/distance on the history in the window. That means not all text is submitted at the next entry, but whatever mostly matches what is entered by the user (in vector space) is likely pulled in and sent over in the final prompt.

Agreed, but I believe Voyager is 18.5 light hours away, not 22. The article says it is 20 billion km away which is 18.5 light hours.

However the article also states signals take 22 hours to reach the spacecraft. Do radio waves travel slower than the speed of light even in the vacuum of space? I assume the waves do not spend the extra 3.5 hours in Earth's atmosphere!

Ok.

> Resist the temptation to be creative, stylish, or (worst of all) clever.

I've spent a good chunk of my career coming in and cleaning up and optimizing codebases, avoiding complete re-writes . Coming across a genuinely clever and novel approach to a tricky problem that someone else wrote is something I enjoy immensely.

I'm tired of hearing from the "is unneeded complexity" bandwagoners. There is a difference between clever and convoluted. I'll trade a few more minutes of grokking for more performance, less boiler plate, etc, all day.

That and in my experience with large codebases, most time spent understanding code is spent on the business logic anyway.

This is an extremely odd comment. The parent post isn't suggesting that people radically alter their lives to avoid throat cancer. It's suggesting that they get a one-time vaccine that's already standard for many women.

What's the concern here other than fear of that vaccine? And if fear of an HPV vaccine itself killing someone is the concern, I might cite a quote I heard recently that "fear from death is something that is controlling people more than they think."

c) there are many other things revealed in the article linked above. Judge Thomas has at worst accepted bribes for judgements, and at best actively worked to give that impression, which invites further bribes. as a judge, a gift from anyone who has a political stance on anything at all is a breach of trust and an abuse of power, either in reality or in the mind of the gift-giver. in every case it is a conflict of interest and an abuse of power. none of these judges should be accepting gifts from anyone at any time.
The argument isn't that we should start allowing people to make fair use of your bed, the argument is that we shouldn't use the phrase "intellectual property", because no other property right is this permissive with unauthorized use and exploitation.

In a few years I wonder if governments will be looking at the massive subsidies they're paying every year just to keep these fabs afloat during the obvious upcoming chip glut and wonder what they were thinking.

Demand for chips will continue to grow (historical growth is about 5% a year) but I don't think the market can support a dozen new fabs around the world without taxpayer money. that's just too much supply and extremely expensive insurance for "national security".
I listened to the oral arguments for this case and I’m not convinced this will have many if any implications at all for AI-generated artwork. The facts of the case just don’t bridge the gap between the alleged infringement here and what Stable Diffusion does.

Andy Warhol used a particular photograph as a reference for a series of paintings, and the question presented by the Foundation appealing a loss in the 2nd Circuit to the Supreme Court is as follows:

“This Court has repeatedly made clear that a work of art is "transformative" for purposes of fair use under the Copyright Act if it conveys a different
"meaning[I or message" from its source material.

Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569, 579
(1994); Google LLC v. Oracle Am., Inc., 141 S. Ct. 1183, 1202 (2021). In the decision below, the Second Circuit nonetheless held that a court is in fact forbidden from trying to "ascertain the intent behind or meaning of the works at issue." App. 22a-23a.

Instead, the court concluded that even where a new work indisputably conveys a distinct meaning or message, the work is not transformative if it
"recognizably deriv[es] from, and retain|s] the essential elements of, its source material." Id. at 24a.

The question presented is:

Whether a work of art is "transformative" when it conveys a different meaning or message from its source material (as this Court, the Ninth Circuit, and other courts of appeals have held), or whether a court is forbidden from considering the meaning of the accused work where it "recognizably derives] from" its source material (as the Second Circuit has held).”

My old apartment (built to rent) had a pretty sweet scheme. You connected to a shared WiFi network throughout the building and was put in VLAN 0 with all the other unauthenticated devices, but once you signed in (captive portal) you were bumped in to your own private VLAN and you could only see / connect to your other devices.

The only downside was any device where it wasn't convenient to login to the captive portal had to have its Mac address registered to your account.
> What’s the issue with removing old unused and inactive content?

I imagine there's probably a LOT of images that were uploaded, viewed by 1 or 2 people, and then never viewed again, and never WILL be viewed again. But they still have to store them, and that storage costs money.
> Embarcadero was bought out by Idera, who has a long history of buying out niche-y software development companies and offshoring development while wringing every last possible dollar out of the now-declining carcass. If you’re looking for relevance or innovation, look elsewhere.

Not sure that differs from what Embarcadero’s been doing with the devtools unit it bought from Borland for the last 15 years by much, though.

Is that true? I'd be shocked if it costs Google more than $2/month to have the average 100GB user's files sitting in storage. Maybe if I was constantly uploading and downloading, but most people push things up there and then they just sit.
> "by hand" isn't really meaningful.

Agreed—but it suddenly is meaningful if Warhol copies by creating silk screens, versus someone, say, copying by playing someone else's song (but with some small, deliberate changes!) having learned it, let's say, by ear? It's precisely that large difference in standards that surprises me. You can be nowhere near creating a copy this similar, in other media, and get hit with a basically-unwinnable lawsuit.

I had no idea how much looser copyright protection was in this particular media-world, versus every other one I'm aware of, before this case started making news and people were treating it as if the Warhol side weren't super-obviously doomed to settle or lose. That surprised me.

Super weird comment. I've worked at tech co's for ~15 years on sprint teams and directly next to the CTO and everywhere in between...and they've all had product strategies.

Maybe DBX sucks at executing theirs. Maybe their strategy sucks. I don't know. I'm not claiming to. All I am claiming is that there is some strategy at the leadership level right now at DBX that appears to involve AI - and any comments beyond that are purely speculative.

It is very okay to question the risk-benefit analysis of technologies while also understanding that they can be forces for good and evil.

For instance, Hacker News often discusses issues of privacy, asking whether new methods of finding bad actors could be misused to persecute responsible actors. It is totally fine to say "Is this good thing worthwhile if it could also cause this bad thing?"
For services like these, whether it's Google One or Dropbox, R&D is the major expense. Not hard drive space. In order to recoup the R&D cost you have to segment customers by their willingness to pay. When you charge per GB you leave a lot of money on the table.

Google has spent billions in R&D for gmail, google docs/sheets, photos. And now I have to choose between deleting my old stuff or paying for extra storage. Figuring out where my data went is too much work, so I subscribed. Other people will delete old photos/attachments/files so they don't have to upgrade to the next pricing tier. Price segmentation works.

It's a search engine's job to rank results; there is no other way to do it: only one link can be in position #1, only one link can be in position #2, etc.

Or in other words: "editorial guidance" is pretty much the entirety of a search engine's job: you give it a large set of documents (the internet), some user input (what you typed in the search box), and it ranks – or "editorializes" – the set of documents to something useful for you.

And at the same time you also have to account for SEO haxx0rs and outright malicious actors who will try to phish your CC details.

Do you want some crackpot website if you search for "Barrack Obama" which claims that he is literally the anti-Christ to be at #1? Or even on the first page at all? Or rolexxxx.com if you search for "buy rolex"? Or bank-of-amerrrica.ru if you search for "Bank of America"? Probably not. A naïve ranking algorithm will end up with that.

There is no perfect way to do this; it's a hard problem. Platitudes like this make it sound easy, but it's not.

I think OOP (object oriented programming) is abused and is not the optimal paradigm for most software services. It succeeds best at providing inter-operability structure for API design. "Objects", as mentioned here, are an abstraction. Stateful data can be organized and manipulated elegantly without use of the OOP paradigm. Many small systems that employ OOP hamper their maintenance and extendability by unnecessary dependence upon encapsulation and data ownership. Mutability is a villain here as well -- when data structures are immutable, there is little fear of panoptic architectures designed without ownership constraints. Here software is no longer corralled into walled gardens of "objects"; large complex types and their brittle method associations are avoided, greatly simplifying software architectures as a result.

One must take that in context. Despite the engines possesing powers of reasoning and critical thinking, it's important to recognise that those aren't as advanced as a human. It is likely that they also don't feel emotions like shame as strongly. The engines appear to have the intellectual and emotional capacity of an 8 year old human.
The solution to this is zone defense instead of man-man.

The sad fact is that a manager won't approve you working on something that'll save 1% CPU. But once the tall and medium tent poles have been knocked down, that's all there is left. There are hundreds of them, and they double or triple your response time and/or CPU load.

I've had much, much better outcomes by rejecting trying to achieve an N% speedup across the entire app, and instead picking one subject area of the code and finding 20% there. You deep dive into that section, fulling absorbing how it works and why it works, and you fix every problem you see that registers above the noise floor in your perf tool. Some second and third tier performance problems complement each other, and you can avoid one entirely by altering the other. The risk of the 1% changes can be amortized over both the effort you expended learning this code, and the testing time required to validate 3 large changes scattered across the codebase versus 8 changes in the same workflow. Much simpler to explain, much easier to verify.

Big wins feel good now but the company comes to expect them. In the place where I used this best, I delivered 20% performance improvements per release for something like 8 releases in a row, before I ran out of areas I hadn't touched before. Often I'd find a perf issue in how the current section of code talks to another, and that would inform what section of code I worked on next, while the problem domain was still fresh in my brain.
For comparison, look at the overhead photos of the N1 launch mount and its three MASSIVE angled concrete blast trench/blast deflectors. The N1 is the closest thing that's ever been built in engine count and size to the booster, not counting the saturn V of course.

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/50-years-ago-soviet-s-moon-rock...

The N1 itself was obviously a disaster for other engineering reasons not related to its launch mount.

The launch mount, on the other hand, looks great, and did its job admirably. THe soviet union was not bad at building massive ugly reinforced concrete structures.

I know they do not because I have lived through several CAT 4/5 storms and have seen them fail. Also a brutal freeze in Houston recently where EVERYTHING failed to include wind turbines that froze solid.

I'm for solar and wind but fossil fuels are still needed as a backup plan (another basket of eggs). Gotta have it. I survived the hard freeze in Houston with no electrical power with stored gasoline and a couple of generators for 5 days no problem. I just fueled up the other day. With additives the fuels last several years. Good to go for a freeze or a major storm for a couple weeks.
I hunch that on-device recognition leveraging the onboard ML hardware will be a whole new thing. The Siri brand is so damaged now I expect they’ll launch something new instead of “but it’s actually good now!”
I don't think what you want exists or has ever existed. A search engine that does not exercise judgement about relevance and quality will just return noise.
I believe it could also be argued that some fraction of the value created by repairability is in fact an externality. Your standard rational pricing model uses exponential discounting. A farmer does not necessarily expect to be in business for the entire useful lifetime of a tractor. But the resold tractor provides potentially more value to the economy if it is easier to fix. I.e. the initial buyer's discount rate should be higher than the overall society's discount rate, because they get most of the value from using the tractor, not its resale, but society gets more value if the tractor can be used longer by other farmers.

This mostly applies to tractors that, today, are too old to violate R2R. But someday, the tractors sold today will be that old.

I think it's because lots of amazons services are in 'winner takes all' markets.

No random online eshop can offer next day delivery across half the world unless they already have a logistics chain of 100,000 truck drivers spread across the world. But Amazon can.

Likewise, no cloud provider has enough data centers to offer multiple separate data centers in the same city, for hundreds of cities around the world. But Amazon does.

Any competitor can't offer amazons level of service until they get to amazon scale... Which they never will.
