The past three days have been crazy for AI Diary!

- I submitted on HackerNews which got little to no traction

- but seems like someone saw it. The next day, AI Diary was featured in TheNeuronDaily

- the next day, it was BensBites

- and then a couple of more ..

So a short story: the whole idea for AI Diary was to try to make something using OpenAI's new APIs that isn't just a simple wrapper for ChatGPT. There were just toooo many of them coming up every single day. Though seemed like they were all making money... but I just didn't want to enter that space. Hence, AI Diary.

Featuring in these newsletters is cool. A lot of readers, so a lot of views etc. But not really the target audience. Folks subscribed to these are mostly AI enthusiasts, and turns out most of the sign ups were just about testing the product out of curiosity, scoping out the features etc. For almost 2 days, nobody converted to a paid user.

Then, suddenly, just before the 2nd day ended, I got my first subscriber

I'm pumped now! I'm so glad. Hoping this is just the start
Please don't speak for people whoes motivation you probably dont fully understand. "Everyone" is always and per definition wrong, absolute statements like this only show that you are going to far and shouldn't be taken seriously.

I am a member of a minority, and I do enjoy jokes about my minority if they're well done and/or hit a nail on the head. Your statement effectively says you dont believe I am a member of "everyone", which is quite condescending.
My best friend family built a house 15 years ago, when the tech was new-ish, and the pipes are under the cement and inaccessible without huge costs. Then their house settled a little over the years and it lead to maintenance issues.

I suppose new installation don't have the issue, but for stuff I'll use for a long time (basically house, computer and car), if I don't know how to repare it, I prefer old tech.

Museums, as a concept, rest on a supply chain of plunder and pillage in the past and now increasingly, on theft, dubious commercial transactions etc.. No one can deny that local people and shady businessmen have been hand in glove with art collectors, dubious art historians and international smugglers, for thefts to happen on such a large scale.

The situation can improve if ordinary people feel within their hearts that museums by and large house stolen art from, usually, poorer countries. People should really stop visiting museums like the Met and LACMA. Otherwise they would just be encouraging past patterns of behavior.

I think it was in the documentary Crumb where they explained how R. Crumb lovingly filled in random urban junk in the landscape, like TV antennas, power lines, traffic lights, and all sorts of clutter that many artists would elide from an attractive panorama. And yet Crumb found it somehow beautiful in this random jumbled-up morass of artificial trees. I found it admirable.

From context I think they mean the first really successful open source _social network_. Though I’d argue this isn’t quite true; blogs were used as a form of early social network, particularly with features like pingbacks, so Wordpress is also a candidate.

> I dont want a microsoft account on my private computer

It is not _your_ private computer. You only bought a _right to use it_ in exchange for your data. Big brother will be very upset if you don't comply.
I’m still using it, but to me their service has become worse over time as more and more features were tacked on that I don’t want or need… and they are really not listening to their users who want a better experience instead of more junk. I’m also in the market for a better alternative, but haven’t found one so far that is as easy to use as Dropbox. I’d prefer to not have to manage my own servers.
Well I had to do some deep dives to get IPv6 working, and it really didn't work until I got rid of pfSense and switched to OpenWRT.

I'm not just talking about connected to Google, I mean to each other. So ULA, DNS, DHCPv6 vs SLAAC etc is in play.

I wouldn’t mind if the game was fun. Many of my favorite games to this day have terrible graphics. A nice side effect of simple 3D forms or even 2D games is that you also don’t require a massively expensive GPU or even a dedicated GPU at all in order to play them.

This reminds me of the saying, "you could build a cathedral with all the pieces of the 'True' Cross," which I believe originated in Medieval Christendom. Even back then it was widely known that many, if not most, religious relics were probably fake.

I usually share telemetry with open source software that I am happy with. Log reports, crashes, usage, etc, in Linux and so on.

It’s a good way to give back, and improve software that is often free. It’s presumably anonymized and safe. I don’t think we should be adversarial.
Kind of the opposite; touch controls are easy to manufacture to a standard that will last the 10 odd years a stove is expected to live. Physical and moving parts are much harder, particularly in the context of a kitchen where there is heat, water, and oil. Physical knob induction stoves do exist, but primarily for industrial kitchens, and they cost a lot more.
Python has become the lowest common denominator. It's a practical "no-frills" language that can be picked quickly by a sysadmin, a web developer, a scientist doing number-crunching or a kid automating their homework.

No that overused, it appears. Look at how man replies didn't know what the source material was.

I think the argument is that it’s not the kind of copy that is copyright infringement.

In the sense that yes, the bits are copied from one register to another. But they aren’t stored permanently, nor are they distributed. So there’s no copyright violation.

Similarly my brain is making copies when I look at something. And routers on the internet make many copies sending the material to me. Etc etc.

If training on an image is copyright infringement for making copies, then so is viewing the image through glasses (image is transformed by the lens) or dragging the image from one monitor to another or caching the image in your browser and viewing it later from the cache rather than retrieving it again.
The biggest S Korean show in the “west” was Squid Game, which was nothing if not cynical.

The Oscar winning movie Parasite is also steeped with pessimism and cynicism.
Why not? In abstract the argument is:

"I want this product to be better"

The reason we don't want companies to gain market power (the feared result of mega-conglomeration) is because it allows companies to charge more for the same or a worse product.

If this person believes that Blizzard being acquired by microsoft will result in a better product, then they expect the net benefits to outweigh the negatives of Microsoft's increased market power over the video games market.

Acquisitions that produce a consumer-surplus should be most welcome!

I don't see why you'd think it's bizarre. Using Google for inbound links was practically Stack Overflow's raison d'etre. If someone searches their question, finds an answer almost immediately via a search engine (doesn't have to be Google), and never bothers your customer support agents, then both parties are better off.
As long as you don’t have real media files or other codecs that have disappeared (or will disappear - imagine if we move to a new cpu instruction set, I assume not every codec library will be recompiled).
> Cryptographically verified? How did we do it all these years?

Yeah, how did you? Data can get corrupted, you know. Things like hashing and error correction are essential.

> And I would like a source for your claim regarding BitTorrent.

Launch any torrent client. There will be an indicator of how many complete copies exist amongst the peers in the swarm. The higher the number, the more well preserved the data is. Really simple. It's also self-healing since you can check the data and fix errors by downloading the damaged blocks again.

Bittorrent is essentially the Linus Torvalds "real men publish things online so the whole world can mirror it" approach to backup and preservation. Shame copyright holders had to ruin it.
> Pump all the heat

Is this feasible given how the unwanted heat is spread throughout the atmosphere and ocean?

> into one big black body radiator until it glows red hot, then divert the emanating radiation out into space.

The atmosphere being in the way would seem to be a problem...

I'm not a physicist though. I'd love to see some back of the envelope calculations exploring whether this is theoretically feasible.

So don't use it for corporate conversations? There's already Slack for that. Corporation's private internal communication just isn't the target market.

Error reporting is far from being redundant though, it's literally 1 step away from being 'logically necessary'
Here's a macronutrient comparison:

1 cup of dairy milk:

Calories: 149
Protein: 8 grams
Fat: 8 grams
Carbohydrates: 12 grams
Fiber: 0 grams
Sugar: 12 grams

1 cup of Almond Milk:

Calories: 40
Protein: 1 gram
Fat: 3 grams
Carbohydrates: 2 grams
Fiber: 1 gram
Sugar: 0 grams

1 cup of soy milk:

Calories: 100
Protein: 7 grams
Fat: 4 grams
Carbohydrates: 8 grams
Fiber: 1 gram
Sugar: 6 grams

Soy milk is not too far off. Almond milk seems to be more diluted and has no simple sugars, so it might be the outlier here. Still has a decent amount of fat, more than I expected, but half as much isn't going to satisfy some people.
The knowledge about this is still here.

I'm pretty sure 1-2 a year would keep this up sustainable
> So people like to speak about freedom but are afraid of actually living in freedom?

Many/most of the folks I know who speak out loudest about “freedom” are also the most willing to restrict it… for others.

What’s the saying… freedom for me but not for thee?

Before I come across as overly cynical, let me just add that most Americans I’m around have a very laissez faire attitude about most things. They are just very quiet about it, living their lives peacefully.

I’m a believer in the very moderate silent majority in the US. It’s just hard to notice that it exists when pretty much all mainstream media and social media are designed to favor the promotion of extremist stances.

Yes, but this example of matrix multiplication does weird stuff:

begin
Writeln('yep');
Writeln(High(R)); // 3
Writeln(High(X)); // 4
Writeln(High(C)); // 3
for i := Low(R) to High(R) do
for k := Low(C) to High(C) do begin
Result.fCoordinates[i, k] := 0;
for j := Low(X) to High(X) do
Result.fCoordinates[i, k] += A.fCoordinates[i, j] * B.fCoordinates[j, k]
end
end;
type
R1 = 1..3;
R2 = 1..4;
var
A: TMatrix<Double, R1, R2>;
B: TMatrix<Double, R1, R1>;
C: TMatrix<Double, R2, R1>;
begin
mul<Double, R1, R2, R1>(A,B); // should fail because B would have to have as many rows as A has columns--and it doesn't.
mul(A,C) // does not work even with a right-size C--even though it should
end.
This sounds insane and I'm incredibly happy for the situation we have in the EU.

The funny thing about that is most people who never did a real language test have no idea what these categories even mean. I only learned languages in high school and I never moved to another country.

Elon continually seems to not get that the real value of Twitter is the users. If he continues to annoy the people who are making the actual content, that content will go away (or get so bad it might as well go away)! Verifying users is not a feature for the verified users; it's so that other users know they can believe this message is actually from who it purports to be.

Searching the vast trove of tweets is useful because it gives you access to thoughts on a topic from anyone. Restricting access to that makes it less valuable.
Not only artificial GPU scarcity. It is obviously clear that AMD and Nvidia are deliberately avoiding fighting each other on prices, something they got punished for in 2008, except that at the time it was done in secret meetings, now it's literally AMD playing alone and avoiding to compete completely on price.

I don’t think these moves are generally profit motivated vs motivated by true believers or people who see a way to enhance their own power within the decision making process.

The main reason I don’t think it’s profit motivated is that you see the exact same sort of culturally imperialist neo-Victorianism in entities without a profit motive like the ACLU or state govt.
Yep, everything you said is correct.

The AMSS has control of the hardware, but there's different components, each implementing different functionality, they may be able to talk with each other using various IPC mechanism, and they do, but mostly using Android as a middleman ( Linux )

Well, if a merger is proposed, that's because management has a credible argument that it's a boost for the two companies involved. Say 1%. If one of those is a >$100B company, then that's a $1B boost for the overall economy.

If you assume that a $1B boost for the economy is an argument in favour, then all big mergers are supported by credible arguments. (Which may turn out to be wrong in hindsight, of course, but that hardly affects their credibility at the time.)

This all sounds like an RAA to me: That way of looking at big mergers leads to regarding all of them as good, which is an absurd conclusion, therefore it is an absurd view.

Not all buttons are created equal. I have an admittedly older 2016 ford galaxy. The physical buttons are mostly all low profile smooth and flat buttons with thin gaps between them.
