Despite the novelty and excitement, the profit potential for AI generated applications and content isn't particularly strong. If you can make something using AI, so can everyone else. You work at a company to make money. Using AI doesn't magically allow you to do that. If you have the ability to make a profitable company, AI may help, but it's not a business plan.
OS X is not developed anymore for a while now. I assume you mean MacOS.
One-sided speculation where vagaries play to the person's admitted agenda? No tech or business relation? Nothing to do with hacking in the slightest? This is not news. While I'm not shocked to see this out of WSJ, I'm a bit surprised to see this on the FP.
Most of these suggestion are very good.

But does "blind spot" refer to a disability? I thought it references either (1) a context-specific occlusion (e.g. "this car has a large blind spot") or (2) a feature of the typical human eye ("A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot, "blind point", or punctum caecum in medical literature, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the optic disc of the retina where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc.").

This is why we should have options. I would rather do the occasional migration than have software I rely on constantly changing. Even worse is when that software auto-updates and I can't even decide when the change will happen.

Your point is valid as well. There's no reason both of our preferences shouldn't be accommodated.
Energy independence would upend a lot of international trade markets and therefore geopolitical stability in some areas. If you don't need Saudi Arabia for oil, why do you care what happens there?

I can't justify paying more than a month of streaming for a specific movie that I have to share with people and where I can't put in a pee break.

Cinema just do not make sense unless you are a total fan of a given franchise. I wanted to see the new Top Gun, but I just waited until I could buy it digitally.

I can't wait until it becomes illegal to prioritize theaters - even if I have to pay the same for the ticket, the popcorn is a lot cheaper. That might make me watch more movies, but then again who knows.
Yes! Failure is the stepping stone to success. Hitting a homerun on your first attempt is like winning the lottery. It's possible but very unlikely.
Macrocells have 'macro' coverage because they are indeed better located and more powerful (and lower frequency than mm-wave).

But this tends to get smaller and smaller because of higher throughput and higher capacity demands. 5G/mm-wave/densification means more, smaller cells.

In any case, the key to ubiquitous coverage is the cellular aspect: You don't build a taller mast with a more powerful transmitter. You add more cells.
PocketLLM – Instant neural search for your pdfs and docs
Folks, I'm the head of product at ThirdAI and we are excited to get this PocketLLM tool out here for you all to try. The main aim is to showcase that we can build LLMs on laptops or any commodity CPUs.

With the exponential growth of digital documents in recent years, finding the right document has become a hassle for many of us. Existing document search solutions rely heavily on server-side processing, raising concerns about data privacy and security.

Enter ThirdAI PocketLLM, a new application from ThirdAI that allows you to train a neural network model locally on your laptop or air-gapped device to memorize an entire PDF or a folder full of PDFs, offering personalized and secure neural search.

ThirdAI PocketLLM's innovative technology allows you to bypass the cloud and ensure your sensitive information stays private. Our model is trained on CPUs, making it affordable and accessible to everyone. You can train a 50M to 1B parameter model in minutes, without any specialized hardware.

We understand the importance of privacy, which is why the entire ThirdAI PocketLLM can be trained locally. Your data is kept on your device, and no one, not even ThirdAI, can access it. Our solution is designed to offer personalized search that is specific to your needs, without ever compromising your privacy.

ThirdAI PocketLLM's search is incredibly fast, thanks to the power of neural networks. Our solution uses embeddings, allowing for similarity search and natural language queries.

We can't wait for you to try out ThirdAI PocketLLM!
Why does Disney have an "ill-gotten" monopoly? The people who worked for the company created something. Why shouldn't they get to control how it's used. Do you feel like you should have control over what you create? Why not others?
Two fundamental truths:

- nature is inherently competitive.
- civilization and culture temper this but requires vigilance to maintain.

The second implies that some cultures may be more effective at tempering nature’s excesses than others… and also that it can change in a way in which it becomes less or more effective, or at least effective for different things…
They're speculating it's intentionally priced high so that the trade in deals look bigger.
Infosec company pwned by 4chan user
I'm not sure why you're so negative on a business model that has worked for tech startups for decades now. Many businesses have started by promising to fix a problem experienced by a larger entity. Along with product guidance, the startup often gets capital in the form of investment. The larger company gets a low-risk attempt to solve their problem with the possibility of upside in the case of a larger than expected success.
I disagree completely with this sentiment. We've been told that's how you buy a phone. Do you also buy generic servers or PCs that way? Where you can only run one OS? Apple is the anomaly here. Phones should be able to run different OSes as well. The fact that there's a defense of Apple's not-so-great privacy record with "the market says this is what Apple says a phone is" - is an unfortunate, and successful, marketing campaign by Apple.

Whether or not I can install a different OS on a phone does guarantee an erosion of privacy. What you're arguing is that I should be fine with Apple because you can't install another OS. No thanks. And, yes, people do buy Pixel phones just because they can install a privacy respecting OS. Now, baseband is another problem, but - that's one that Apple has no claims to solve for either.
Same sort of thing happened to WWDC.

I once worked somewhere where the only people who actually went to WWDC where the IT admins and Apple fans,rather than developers.

From a developer perspective - online if so good now, why do you need to travel?
( unless you really want 1:1 with Apple/Google Devs ).

So the only people who travel end up being the people their for the 'event' and the 'one more thing' excitement.
The group exercising their monopoly on force to implement the laws of communism is the state, unless you plan on making participation voluntary. Calling it “the people” makes absolutely no difference.
Yup and many more not mentioned in the post. I wrote this article so in the future it would be easier to look back on everything I have worked on.
I might not understand you, but what prevents me from conducting a Sybil attack (a.k.a. a sock puppet attack) against this system?

Another question: why did so much of the media buy into "metaverse" hype so fully and completely? No negative coverage, only the occasional attempt to pre-make political hay out of metaverse morals ("we need virtual assault laws", etc).
Open Ports for macOS – Never Google “How to kill a process by port?” again
I've always wanted to learn Swift, and I recently had to google how to kill the process on port X, must've been the 5th time just this week! So I built this tiny app that lives in your menu bar, you can see all the open ports, browse, terminate or kill them.

Also integrates with Docker, showing containers that have a published port.
This can best be framed (as Marx did) in terms of feudalism.

Feudalism as an economic system captured the surplus value of labor right up to the monarch. This was done through a number of layers, what you'd call vassal lords. In some places these structures exist today (eg the various duchies in the UK that still derive an income from their holdings to whatever royal or aristocrat is appointed to benefit from them). One might be tempted to call this distributed feudalism because of the existence of intermediate lords but it's one of those distinctions without a difference. The monarch will ultimately seek to extract as much value from his or her vassal lords as is possible. At times this was an explicit goal (eg Louis XIV keeping the nobility poor through Versailles).

"Distributed capitalism" is likewise a distinction without a difference. You can have smaller farms. These will be gobbled up Cargill or whoever, often coercively through predatory pricing of key products. The forces at work always seek to capture that surplus value of labor into a smaller and smaller group at the top.

You see the effects of this everywhere: massive consolidation in every sector. All of the food in the US is produced by like 6 conglomerates.
The way phone makers seem to be making phones more averse to web apps (apple’s 7 day eviction of web site data springs to mind), I don’t think this is the takeaway they want you to have.
So when was this? When European businesses were exploiting the “new world”? When plantation owners were employing slaves? When robber barons were exploiting people and polluting the environment? The “greed is good” 80s? VCs throwing money at startups that they know will never be profitable waiting for the “greater fool”?
Yes, we all get frustrated when we see nonsense online, but usually the best thing to do is “block and move on”
Funny enough my experience says that it is hardware. Software bugs rarely manifest at such low frequencies (say 10^-15 or so) compared to hardware faults.
If you're willing to go to such lengths in order to be deceptive, it reflects very badly on your moral character. I wouldn't want to work with people like that and we should not reward that kind of behavior.
Agreed - I had no idea they were skipping the steam/turbine stuff. This is a compelling concept because it looks like it could actually scale.
A rapid transition would necessitate the need for legislative/policy changes. People aren't going to complacently waddle in "nightmares".

Workers already feel priced out of the housing market, just add it to the pile.
I was speaking to my brother about this the other day. Yes we are both Indian. First off, there is a lot more nuance to this topic. There are Indian entrepreneurs who become CEOs of their companies and there are corporate ladder climbers who become CEOs.

As for the latter, they are as talented as any technical professional with a smidge of business knowledge and a lot of knowledge on internal rope climbing. The preference towards Indians came out from global forces largely not controlled by individual companies. They are Global and driven by pan global organizations with immense influence such as World Economic Forum. And internal political shifts towards equity regardless of merit and progressive women organizations distaste for white men. These manifest in the vociferous push within organizations for nonwhite leaders and the company’s are happy to collect their equity badges by putting up alternative candidates as CEOs without disrupting their operations. They all march within the guard rails setup by the board and the stock market forces. There are lot more nuances in the above arguments but in my opinion these are the larger forces.

It's going to take a minute before we get these in laptops (or device manufacturers will have to run an extra heat pipe over to them). Retrofits will be tricky!
Possibly, but the fact that they are refusing to tell him why he's being removed makes this suspicious. Seems like they would not need to hide it if the reason was "you're being removed due to excessive litigation against the school and your peers". They would have a reason to hide "you're being removed because you disagree with us".

This is all just speculation of course.
I noticed during the years that the people that cheat in the interviews are not afraid to lie on results or steal colleagues' work and pretend it is theirs. When enough managers are fine with that, it becomes an internal open secret on how promotions work. When you also have targets for promotions and you have to bend the rules (pretty bad) to meet these targets, the entire evaluation and promotion system becomes a joke.

I was thinking of building this for Next.js in a very similar way. I love the fact that this exists for a different stack! I think your implementation of the project template is definitely the way to go. As a customer, when I buy something to jump-start me, I want it to be as clean and simple as possible. Generating the project from a configuration handles that nicely.

Outside of the generator itself, what have you found most beneficial for converting customers and convincing people to buy? Documentation? Videos? The community access?
Your company was new. But the situation you describe is not typical of a startup as commonly understood.
I've talked with people outside the United States that are terrified to send their loved ones here for similar reasons. It's an old media canard to highlight the most extreme aspects of a country and hold them up as typical.

When you visit a foreign country it is best to do your research. For instance, if you visit California and spend your vacation in Stockton or San Bernardino you should take some basic precautions that the natives already do. Some countries are honestly dangerous, but Mexico isn't bad for tourism unless you are actively seeking the more dangerous parts.

The major problems are when you start bringing your business into the country. That is a whole new kettle of fish. At that point you need to work the system to acquire a patronage network or work with established interests.
Why the downvote? Is it really acceptable for the machine reading your passport at the airport to have bit flip? Or the person processing you at the DMV, the doctor reading your medical history, or a million other things that power the modern world?
Math checks out. :D
Another way to look at it is that modern capitalist societies require you to have a job to participate in said society and the benefits it incurs. It's a work to live system. And these companies care only about profits, not people, and they will fire anyone at the drop of a hat if it means dividends for investors or protecting executive bonuses. There is absolutely no benefit to loyalty nor honesty because the companies themselves do not have these virtues.

There's also the fact that despite efforts in recent years to control biases in the hiring process and promotions; it still creeps in. The odds are stacked against people from minority demographics from getting work at all let alone a decent paying job. It often doesn't matter how well they do or whether they play by the rules.

It seems a bit cynical if you believe the world should be mostly meritocratic but unfortunately it's not.

In some ways cheating is the morally correct course of action.
> relatively simple state machines

To be clear, all hardware branch predictors are "relatively simple state machines"; they need storage in the branch prediction tables which must super-fast to access, which means they can only store a few (sometimes dozens, but certainly not hundreds) bits per branch to reach the access latency goal. With input to the predictor encoded as binary, the weights quantized and small and encoded into binary, and the history small, even perceptrons are "relatively simple state machines". After all, their implementation is just going to become some combinatorial logic in the end.
People who use multiple "angry face" emojis to express themselves are generally moody, petulant and emotionally unfit to work among highly compensated engineers. Instead of whining, adapt and overcome the circumstances you recognize in your professional life.
It shouldn’t even need much distribution or any protocol change. If every CT operator required three separate nodes to validate a proposed new block before distributing that block, then the only way to corrupt the log would be for an invalid block to pass verification three times (due to a bug or to a vanishingly unlikely coincidence of hardware errors) or for something to accidentally publish the block without verification.

Unlike cryptocurrency, this would require no fancy public protocols, negligible computational resources, and no additional verification overhead outside the log operator at all.
It's a nice idea, but it totally ignores literally decades of existing use of the word "robot" (or its abbreviation "bot") to describe pure software that accesses internet services. e.g. web crawlers (googlebot), chat bots, automated clickers, etc...

Lexicography tends to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. If enough people use a word to mean a thing, that word means that thing. As least in some contexts. See also "gay", "hacker", etc...

Note that it is possible for a word's meaning to be "reclaimed", but it generally doesn't get that way by some small group of people just shouting "You're doing it wrong!"
I'm against cheating and have never done it and probably never will, but I have an equal amount of disgust for leetcode in an interview process.
Yes, I hope so too. After a collapse of civilization, likely only highly organized and well armed groups will survive. Families on 10 acres will be killed and their farms stripped of food & tools.

The whole scenario does seem unlikely though.
I think a small-claims case would be more appropriate. No need to put down large amounts of money to do that.
Correct -"I'll do my best" is "No." "I can do it/I will do the needful" is an _actual_ "yes"
My current workflow is to copy a bunch of relevant code into GPT4 and then ask it questions about how to use the API. GPT4 is very good at inferring how to use an API, even from code snippets. The key is that you can paste large amounts of unstructured code and GPT4 will make sense of it.
Would you live next to coworkers for the right price? This companyvs betting yes
Large employers are often self-insured. But since they lack the expertise and large network of negotiated rates and providers, they typically hire a company in the insurance business to administer their plan. Thus, the employer bears the risk of the claims, and also is the party that benefits when expenditures are reduced.
So before the British, there was absolutely no Hindu/Muslim tension in south east Asia at all, it was all peace and friendship? The Mughals were taxing non-Muslims just for being infidels in the 1600s and that led to the Maratha empire which then proceeded to conquer parts of the Mughal empire, often inflicting retribution in return.

The idea that India was one happy family until the British came along is ridiculous. If anything the Brits were suppressing this conflict which is why it re-emerged literally the very same day they left.

It seems like you're conflating the technology with the user experience. Yes, the user experience is similar. No, the technology underpinning it isn't.
Bluesky is a Twitter-like platform like Mastodon, so the comparison makes sense if you look at the primary implementations.

One thing I'm trying to live lately is it's okay to have reactions and share them.

There's this weird thing with the richer society I've moved into from being in tech, where people think being anesthetized is the same as being happy.

No psychologist I've met advises what I see people assume: you must always hold back negative thoughts.
They then apply techniques for reducing stress from overwhelming thoughts to advise eliminating all negative thought.
