This seems to be happening due to the nature of the freelance work itself. It simply can't work at scale in a win-win fashion: if you want to attract immense volume of clients the way Upwork does, you are inevitably looking for those who don't know what they are doing, and are lured by advertisement. And that's pricey. I've been there for 15 years and made millions; i believe whole freelancing thing exists simply due to the systematic fallacy.
> I assume he’s got either direct or indirect links to commercial realestate; as an owner or investor or something else.

This isn't necessarily the case.

Most of the people calling for an end to remote work do not, I suspect, fall into this category—they're managers and execs of all kinds of companies.

What they get out of it isn't more money. It's more control. It's a return to a world where "verify by eye that the employee has their butt in their seat" is an acceptable method of "managing". It's a validation of their worldview that employees are all lazy slackers who are constantly looking for ways to defraud the company.

And underlying all of that, it's simply a return to the world they knew before. This new world, where workers get to work remotely and be responsible for themselves, is Different, and therefore Confusing and/or Scary.

God damn the down votes. I agree with your overall thesis I don’t personally know what intelligence means. However it’s just a tool even if it is AI or whatever you want to label it. It’s extremely cool and powerful too. It scares the shit out of me as well. However I think we are also taking the hype to 11/10 when it should be much lower out of 10 than that…

OpenAI offers several services: completions (i.e. chat GPT), embeddings, moderation, whisper, etc. Of these, I am convinced that embeddings are the true vendor lock in of our time. Once you base everything on one company's embeddings engine, it will be very difficult to switch to another without significant cost / effort.

As a concrete example, assume that embedding vectors are just two dimensional (in reality OpenAI's are 1536D). "cat" might map to [0.1, 0.9] in OpenAI while the same term maps to [0.7,0.3] in another company's engine. The mapping is completely non linear so matrix multiplication or other basic tools cannot be use to find a mapping. The "Rosetta stone" in this case is another massive LLM which would be exceedingly expensive to create. I'd posit that this will create a moat and OpenAI/MSFT are in a good position in this regard.

Completions have such a simple API I can see this becoming almost as ubiquitous as s3. It will be trivial for companies to switch this aspect.
A few years ago I went in a spree of fixing "could of" and "should of", but I only did like 50 pages.
> It's a breakthrough but this research doesn't establish the claim in the title of the article.

What claim would that be? The only claims made in the article was that a) it's a breakthrough, and b) "Researchers say certain strains of gut bacteria are the likely cause of Parkinson's disease."

The article also refers to the bacterias as "probable causes".

Everything you pointed out supports these observations.
It’s a lead but not a moat. If they slow down they are not likely to maintain that lead.

Similar things could be said for example about SpaceX with reusable rockets, but with a capital intensive industry like that it might take a decade or more for others to catch up.

Software iteration time is very fast, so if OpenAI slows down others could catch up in a year or two.

Do you have similar objections to image editors that are able to do a rectangular crop?
Quite possibly. But not certain; and quite likely not with the cost of lawyer bills and court fees to get to that point (to say nothing of the distraction that would cause to the business and/or key executives).
It sounds crappy anyway but, maybe they just did not care? Or the code was a mess and it would be a hassle to implement? I find it really hard to believe that people at freaking Adobe would be unable to comprehend this...
> A car equipped with more sensors, will always be better at handling more situations

Yes, integrating seamlessly is the hard part.

For Tesla, they found the increased sensor fusion complexity made the overall system less reliable, which was what informed their attempt at vision only. Karpathy went into this on Lex Fridman's podcast.

Only with better sensor fusion algorithms that worst case the overall system performance doesn't degrade with additional sensors. Tesla could have hit compute bounds in order to meet latency requirements for example (or they couldn't find the right technique/algorithms).

Sounds like a hard problem but I imagine this would eventually be overcome in the future. More sensors is definitely the future.
Definitely next.js that's why it's also way better for SEO than react
My problem is the assumption by authors that the project being installed is the only one on the machine, and the fact that projects get so tied to particular versions of libraries. Therefore installing the PyTorch specified in this version is likely to be injurious to other existing installations, unless you handle it all in a Conda wrapper.
Tenants don't have to be thinking about any of those things to maliciously destroy a property. None of them come into play when you have, for example, a tenant who hasn't paid rent in months, or who runs illegal businesses out of the property, etc.
With all due respect, if you're not a native English speaker you really aren't in a position to judge what constitutes "better language". I speak fluent Spanish but I wouldn't presume to correct a native Spanish speaker on their style.

I also wouldn't base your opinions of what makes for good English on the ramblings of one Wikipedian whose primary argument seems to be that they had to work hard to learn to use the word a particular way and so everyone else should for the rest of time.

This depends heavily on the city metro being considered and the definition of 'suburb'. For example, in the Philadelphia metro, this is definitely not the case. The counties surrounding the city are far wealthier than the city county, and many area businesses are located in those surrounding suburban counties, with only small offices in the city.

The suburban schools, for example, are funded almost entirely by local taxes, while the city schools get a large chunk of their funding from the state (which of course is tax money in large part from the rich counties.). Even things like the area transportation network (SEPTA) derive a significant portion of their revenue from the suburban to city train lines (because the fares are much more expensive than intracity routes)

I find this typical argument relies on counting 'suburbs' as the poorer and less dense exurb/rural communities that are an hour+ outside the city. For the census purposes, they are considered part of the metro, but nobody would consider them what is typically considered a 'suburban area'
Goated!

And even in those few days it probably won't affect things that aren't close to the accident.

A sodium 24 atom decays to an excited magnesium 24 atom by emitting a 1.39 MeV electron. That has a penetrating power of about 5 m in air.

The excited magnesium 24 quickly drops to the ground state by emitting two gamma rays, one at 2.76 MeV and one at 1.38 MeV. Those won't get past maybe 150 m of air.

I feel that's a bit different. When skimming or reading a book, even though we don't remember all the information typically a lot of the information is dependent on prior information, so we form a sparse knowledge graph from the entire text.

If I'm understanding the article, this approach would not use the skipped words to influence the output, so I thinks ita necessarily different.
Bummer -- I got access after 2-3 weeks.

What does “running the driver in hard mode as much as possible” mean?

Why do you think Tesla’s approach “didn’t work and they are now dead last in the game?”

Maybe that’s just an opinion because you provided nothing to back it up - but I can tell you not only does AutoPilot/FSD Beta work, the latest FSD Beta stack (I’m driving 11.3.6) works extremely well.

Tesla has orders of magnitude more passenger-miles driven than any other solution, which is one quantitative way to gauge success.

Tesla’s latest FSD Beta safety record on city streets is also excellent - 10x fewer accidents per mile than Cruise for example.

This is another huge win for Tesla but it’s important to note that this is accomplished in part by requiring strict driver oversight (enforced through gaze & attention tracking in the cabin camera). So the significantly lower accident rate is not an apple-to-apples comparison of two L4 solutions, but it convincingly shows that their L2 solution is actively making the city and highway roads safer for the driver and the cars & pedestrians that they are sharing the road with.
It doesn't sound like they were blocked from ever sharing the video, just that they can't make as much money off of it.
Ideally you'd be able to put your entire codebase + documentation + jira tickets + etc. into the context. I think there is no practical limit to how many tokens would be useful for users, so the limits imposed by the model (either hard limits or just pricing) will always be a bottleneck.

I lost believe to work via upwork to be honest. I have the profile 10 yo. and after the changes with connects to use to send for the dead job posts as result it's really unfair. then they added more commissions and the rules are always changing.

I feel like now it's better to search the job in LinkedIn via the connections and the jobs posts with Fast Apply option. I don't promote LinkedIn but it's more attractive for me for now.

Also what you get by paying the huge commission and timer that screens you? they don't help you promote, autocomplete cover letters, what the real advantage in this case.

IBM tried to sell the company I worked at Watson Weather or something, following their acquisition of The Weather Network I believe. Everything was Watson something. It was such evident bullshit.

They convinced executives to do a pilot. It was a shit-show. Quick and dirty API endpoints running on bluemix and spewing 500 internal errors at every gust of wind. Nothing remotely intelligent.
>Canestraro’s affidavit outlines a sequence of events that, if true, suggest a botched and illegal domestic CIA operation was at the heart of the intelligence failure that enabled the attacks. More than that, it suggests there was a concerted cover-up of the grave blunder after the fact by both the CIA and the George W. Bush administration.

Looks like the news is evidence of lies to public and extent of collaboration to cover it up

They clearly must be.

It raised over $11B so far.

If we follow the money, the valuation, on either low or high end is absurd. It's starting to seem like weWork at a larger scale.

Revenue for 2022? $3M

No trace of financials for 2023, other than some expected 100M or 1B depending on the wind for this year. we can be sure of one thing, when numbers can be used to boost interest and claim a success, we get numbers release faster than accounting even settled.

My guess is that they are burning at least hundreds of millions by poaching the best AI talent from Google.
Infrastructure wise, about the same. And no, it doesn't help the bottom line to be owned by a massive cloud provider, it only distracts since there is a senior VP somewhere in there now who's non negotiable OKR is complete migration to MS Azure. But openAI will still be charged like any other client.

Welcome to vampirizing VC at its best. Put billion in to inflat the bubble, if it wins great, if it doesn't then you would have sold plenty as a prefered must have no choice parter for services, and by then insider info would have given you a head start to sell of a good chunk of your bags anyway.

OpenAI may win the prize for the most hyped business and fastest skyrocketing company in the entire history, it risks to not even explode but worse: to disappear in the deep sky with backers pulling their hair off or each others when they finally get to receive the in and out reports. Everyone else will have moved on, subscribing to a plethora of dedicated services built by tiny companies improving on moderate size models and building catered solutions.

It will be a great happy ending after all the spams we've seen everywhere over the internet about this gpt genius tech.

I don't see it. The 50 states comprise the United States. The United States is comprised of the 50 states. You can change the word, and the exact same "issues" persist. The 50 states make up the whole of the United States. The whole of the United Sates is made up of the 50 states.
Nuclear energy debate suffers from the classic problem of impedance mismatch between the supporters and detractors regarding the unit economics at scale.

Current data we have is based on bespoke plants. Utterly maddening overhead. This is the cost disease plaguing any kind of infrastructure/construction/high-unit-cost projects in the "developed world".

If you build one plant per decade, then there's no incentive to streamline, no economies of scale, no overlapping s-curves of improvement, no real industrialization and standardization.

Lack of scale leads to discontinuities, change aversion, lack of innovation, pork and barrel politics, and so on.

See the Boeing 737 MAX fuckup. The regulatory environment created a cost jump so huge, that Boeing risked too much.
The TSOs coordinate in ENTSOE, they are not responsible for actual energy production. But they are responsible for many aspects of system stability, and ENTSOE also coordinates security of supply studies.

How to make sure that everything that is needed in order to have sufficient production capacity in all scenarios is also built is not in the responsibility of TSOs. Of course when we consider how to develop flexibility and system service markets we are exactly talking about making sure that everything that is needed _is_ built. Not through centralized planning but by making sure we have a market where we pay for people to provide what is needed.

The big questions, like energy only vs capacity markets, are directly about making sure the necessary investments are made, no matter what technology options are backing them up. You don't need central planning, but you need ESM studies to guide your market designs and long term political decisions (i.e. do we need a hydrogen grid).

And the fact that right now we don't have a market (or other incentives/regulations) for virtual inertia is a real problem worrying TSOs (much more so than the hypothetical issue of under-supply in 10-20 years that you raise for which the basic organisational mechanisms are in place).

> 2) the difference between paying 5% more and having to cut consumers from the grid is massive. for any TSO trying to save money is a goal, but curtailing consumption is an absolute failure criterion, second only to damaging the grid itself.

Of course, but what is your point? That renewables require massive storage to ensure supply at all time? Yes. That's obvious.

But, as every study and common sense shows, it turns out massive storage is also helpful for a nuclear grid, especially once we get into electrifying the heat sector (an important point you have not acknowledged at all).

Finally security of supply studies also assume that conventional generators sometimes fail for unpredictable reasons. In Texas it wasn't the renewables, it was the gas system freezing over that almost fucked up the grid.

I still don't get what your initial complaint was about. The point I made was pretty explicitly: "Renewables require massive storage to solve the fact that they are not dispatchable. But actually so does nuclear for completely different, economic reasons." What was it that you object to in that statement? What are you "debunking"?

Finally: As to the idea that energy systems are optimized for reliability first, and that renewables threaten this somehow:

Germany had an average of 12 outage minutes in 2020 on 49% renewables.

US: 280 outage minutes on 23%.

Germany outage minutes have been trending down as well last I checked, with the general explanation I have heard being that the focus on renewables has forced people to coordinate better, and check their grids more thoroughly than they did before.

Definitely. The big picture is that they are very careful and conservative with their statements about the future, but if you look hard enough you can always find something. With Tesla it's the polar opposite.

Depends on the use case. Performance quickly tanks when you get to high token count; it's a slowdown I believe the various summarizers/context extenders mostly avoid.
