We actually do expect our product to change quite a bit over time, basically because of the nature of the arena we're playing in. platforms will change over time, as will they apps we're helping moderate, and we'll always be trying to integrate as seamlessly as possible to play defense for our users.

As such, we think a recurring subscription is the best way to align our interests with our users and make sure we're building the right thing over time. When customers are consistently paying, if we don't consistently deliver the value they're paying for, they leave. It means we're in a tighter feedback loop with users about what's working and what isn't.

Basically we think it's mission-critical that the technology protecting your attention to be as well built as the tech trying to exploit it, and our best guess at the moment is recurring subscription is the best way to accomplish that.
People have been trying to make that work since the 80s.

The different interfaces don’t have the same metaphors or semantics so cross-platform UI toolkits are always restricted to worst-case lowest common denominator capabilities.

You see this outside UX too — few programs are written to pure POSIX because usually you want to do more than that core.
The most expensive iPhone is $1699, which is a 14 pro max with a whopping 1 TB of storage. With 128gb it’s only $1099.

And yet the only people laughing are Altman and Nadella.
Yes, actually a lot like that, because in the mechanical world you'd order from either McMaster-Carr or Grainger. They're largely equivalent in broad strokes, no one would fault you for favoring one over the other.

In 2015 that was the exact same situation for DigiKey and Mouser. Small differences, both have great selection, great service, competitive prices.

This would be like either Grainger or McMaster-Carr just shitting the bed. It would be shocking to hear a consensus of serious mechanical engineers saying "When people order from Grainger, that's a huge red flag for me."
Wow, this is great!

It's very cool, although my first BASIC was QBasic from DOS 5.0, so this is more "primitive" than what I remember BASIC being. Keep up the awesome work.
lol, you go live like that and report back to us.
This is how I was interviewed when I was a scientist/engineer and how I got interviewed at gov labs when I switched to programming. I still refreshed material for my interviews but they were focused on the actual job areas. I was really shocked that this was not common in the software world and feels weird that as an AI research people are asking me about leet code and not about mathematical formulas, limitations, and analysis of architectures or my own research. PhD scientist interviews (at labs and universities) are essentially a short form of people's discretions with a focus on Q&A. It's always appeared successful to me and I figured that the leet code was always because 1) momentum and 2) there's so many applications that an arbitrary filter has no realistic effect on outcomes other than reducing the number of candidates (due to the difficulties of measuring merit). (Similar to university admissions) But I think we all have to admit that meritocracy is not realistic and act under this belief. It's fine to have arbitrary filters if we recognize them as arbitrary but not if we go around and tout superiority for passing these. But I guess that's a corollary to Goodhart's Law

Why is Google still making Pixel devices? They have made them since 2016 and spent billions of R&D and ads and it has only reached like 1-2% market share in the US.
Google's docs on the APIs are up: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/learn/...

The pricing is also now listed but free during the trial period, although it's annoyingly priced by character: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/pricing#generative_ai_mod...

Assuming ChatGPT's tokens are the equivalent of 4 characters on average (a fair assumption), the pricing of PaLM's chat and embedding APIs are the same cost as OpenAI's equivalents.

In that case display size is a measure of how much strain you're putting on your hands to navigate the huge screen. A smaller screen means less reaching.

Also smaller display size means less content, less instagram posts, less twitter feed, less interest on your phone in general in my perspective
Interesting. I had always though that Adderall might at a cost, I did not think it would be burnout. Was more curious how that would affect your sense of judgement etc. I am not primarily a coding person, and it always seemed more important to me to have well thought out ideas than how many lines I can write in an hour. So an environment where Adderall use is rampant, what does that even look like?
What is? Adobe? Davinci? My assumption was also that Final Cut Pro was _the_ one.
Iirc it wasn't the TSA directly but an airline and their copy of the nofly list.
Right, the UCR is usually pegged at the 75th percentile price for that ZIP code — though that can vary from payer to payer, some can even go up to 90th percentile — it's usually determined by actuaries. It's basically a guidance that conveys "we've never met you before, but you're asking us to reimburse for a treatment, and we as an insurance company think this is the highest reasonable amount to charge for that treatment". It's also important to note that payers don't advertise whether they're doing 75th percentile or 90th percentile or 50th percentile or whatever, because then it just becomes an incentive for providers to anchor at that amount, even if it may be higher than they would otherwise bill for that treatment — they'd just submit a claim for that amount and say "cool, thanks, pay me". In single-payer countries in which the state is a monopsony buyer, there is only 1 rate (sometimes a narrow range), often per location.

In either case, the goal is to try to keep prices down, and in many cases to prevent so called "upcoding" by providers. You'd be surprised how prevalent upcoding is among providers. I've been on the phone with a provider that included in a claim an $80 line item for "oral hygiene instructions", which is a fancy way of saying "instructing the patient to floss more". I've seen another claim that asked for $300 for sign language because the patient was deaf. I've seen yet another claim that asked for $200 for a swaddle for an infant patient. In all 3 of those cases, I personally informed the clinical administrator on the other end "this is not covered", and their response was something to the tune of "oh yeah that's okay, we just put that on there to see who covers it, you can go ahead and ignore that line item".

All of this is characteristic of the fee-for-service model, which is increasingly being seen as quite flawed, regardless of whether it's done by the public sector or the private sector.

There is a valid criticism of mcmansions but this article turned this into more criticism of the homeowners. I am sure that if suburban houses used a classical style they would be writing about the fascists who live in them or if the homes were brutalist how the style had sold out.

But that said I think there is a valid critique of modern builders and homeowners in 2023. A family member's old home in a neighborhood they have lived in forever had a bunch of new people move in during 2021 and 2022 when interest rates were low. They brought giant lifted trucks that block sidewalks, put trailers and RVs and giant boats all over, tore down old trees to make way for chicken shacks and trampolines and plastic sheds. All of this violated the HOA contract but they know the HOA has a few hundred dollars to its name so they gave it the middle finger. Builders built new houses on odd empty lots that tore up landscape to add long driveways to get behind houses and now giant out-of-place houses overlook the backyards of old 100 year old houses.

Builders don't care. That's why mcmansions exist in the first place. The homeowners don't care either. It's all perfectly legal but something still isn't right.

It's more than the price of a nice smartphone, and a nice tablet.

An iPhone 14 and iPad Pro are gonna' run you $1,600, and be more useful in most cases.

I mean, sure, you're not going to fit an iPad in your pocket, but do you really need to? And when it's out, it's more productive to have a separate tablet and phone, than just one device that's trying to do it all.

Folding phones are a neat idea, and as a technical achievement, this is impressive. But in terms of price and practicality? I don't really see the appeal or value.

Secret of Evermore – Interview with Programmer Brian Fehdrau

Perhaps my brain is conflicting multiple things.

So here's what I know. L1 / L2 caches are "inside the core". To talk to other cores, your data must leave L1/L2 cache and talk to a network. It is on _THIS_ network that the L3 cache exists.

Its not really "L3 cache", its just the memory-network that implements the MOESI protocol (or whatever proprietary variant: MOESIF or whatever) that sits between L2 cache, L3 cache, and core-to-core communications. So I don't want to make it sound like "You're waiting on L3 cache", because you're right. Its not really related to L3 cache.

So I don't really know how that network works (I know the high-level details of MOESI, but I also know that's the textbook explanation and the real world is way more complex), aside from "It'd be roughly on the same order-of-magnitude cost" as the L3 cache.

-------

What's really going on, is that Core#1 is talking to all the other cores and basically performing "git pull" and "git push" to the data asynchronously. Core#1 prefers to perform "git checkin" and "git checkout" (aka: talk to L1/L2 cache), because that's faster.

But when Core#1 does a full sync (git push/git pull), it is required to talk on the network that leads to other cores and/or L3 cache.

Those "git push / git pull" messages are MOESI (F and others), meaning Modified/Owned/Exclusive/Shared/Invalid (and Forwarding, and other proprietary states). Which line up to version-control way better than most people expect.
I asked both Bard and GPT-4 to write a code that simulate a M/M/G queue with some simple additional information about request distributions. Bard generated an incorrect implementation with an infinitely loop and without using any discrete simulation package. GPT-4 generated a less incorrect implementation that uses simpy. When I asked both models to convert normal distribution with a binomial distribution, Bard got confused and generated incorrect implementation of binomial distribution, while GPT-4 correctly replaced the normal distribution in the generated code with correct binomial generator.
Personally I get a Ballmer peak after a beer or two but I can't code at all high.

“I don’t like broccoli” is an opinion that is neither right nor wrong. “California could solve the problem for every member of the Colorado River Compact by developing infrastructure to use untapped sources of water” is an opinion that is certainly right or wrong, even though nobody knows which it is.

I’m still waiting after 7 weeks for a refund from Mouser. I ended up escalating to my business’s credit card issuer.

Ordered a $120 cable in which both vendors had recommended. It wasn’t what was required, so sent it back as an RMA, in all the original packaging.

Mouser refused to refund me, saying that there was a bag with my order number on it, and even though I sent back the original unopened product in its original packaging, that without the bag with my order number, no refund.

So they sent it back to me. I FISHED THE STUPID BAG WITH THE ORDER NUMBER ON IT OUT OF THE TRASH, and re sent it back in for an RMA. 5 weeks later, still nothing.

Ultimately it’s going to be 3+ months to get the money back from my card issuer. Mouser will never get my business again.
But Google hasn't disclosed which version of Bard, right?

I pop into Bard every once in a while to test its performance, but I never know if I'm getting the best Google has or just what Google can tolerate running cost-wise publicly given they potentially have at least an order of magnitude (if not two, edit: 1.5) more users than OpenAI.

One of the best pieces of business advice I ever got was to identify the core pieces of equipment that really impact the quality/efficiency of your work and go as high-end as you can afford on those. Then go as cheap as you can tolerate for everything else.
If you use your phone an average of 5 hours a day for two years and then throw it in a junk drawer the hardware would cost less than 50cents per hour of use. I use my $800 iPhone about 30 minutes a day, keep it for 4 years, and spend about $1 per hour of use.

I'd say the market is heavy cellphone users that use apps that benefit from the larger screen.
I shouldn't have included maintained in there because I just meant the emissions for manufacture. The emissions for building an electric car is more than that of a combustion engine car, and building a mile of single lane road dwarfs both of those. So switching to electric cars keeps us building roads and increases emissions at the time manufacture. To get the real story, one needs to consider the use of and maintenance of these things. At some point, there is a crossover point where electric cars have less total emissions than combustion cars. But the use of electric cars will not slow the building, use, and maintenance. If anything, they will increase it because they make buying and owning a car sexy again. Plus, electric cars are far heavier than combustion cars, which will increase road wear. And most analyses don't include battery recycling and disposal as part of an electric cars emissions. So electric cars are probably or even maybe a win in the long term, but the simple act of having electric cars isn't enough.

My point is that one can't simply look at the power production of a car as the sole comparison, and I think that also holds true for power plants. I just haven't seen this analysis for fusion plants. They will be a good thing for sure, but I worry many think it's a silver bullet, and I'd like to understand their affects once they're on the scene.
The relationship between Bard and PaLM 2 is pretty confusing. Bard itself gives inconsistent answers about that [1]. And Google claims that

> PaLM 2 was trained on a corpus that features over 100 languages, making it, in Google’s words, “excel at multilingual tasks,”

whereas Bard can only speak 3 languages [2].

ChatGPT's skills in my language (Tamil) are lackluster, and I was looking forward to being impressed by Bard "excelling at multilingual tasks". That would have been one place where ChatGPT doesn't set the bar too high, a chance for an easy win for Bard.

The juxtaposition of record profits, stock buybacks, and "we're not just raising prices because we can it's inflation for us too" is pretty telling. I often find myself wishing courts/government could just cut through the posturing on stuff like this and call bullshit, like the ever present promises of lower consumer prices during mergers because that's the magic test and courts are seemingly required to swallow whatever thin veneer companies promise. You don't need tax breaks you spent the last 3 on stock buybacks!

Anyways need to stop before this becomes more of a rambling rant. My work is also doing the occasional required week for "collaboration" but they've paused at 1 week a month for now. Have to justify this campus somehow... I like to think every manager bubbling up complaints actually got someone to listen but I'm betting they haven't changed their mind on the long term push even though we've shuttered 2 other locations in my area to consolidate people.

Why even download?

You can use third party media players like MPC-BE or MPC-HC that leverage yt-dlp to stream the video into a media player without any ads of course.

Yes, sometimes it makes sense to download if you want to keep the video, but to just watch just stream it via yt-dlp to a media player.
This is always brought up by people who don't actually use the dongle. Anyone who's tried it doesn't consider it a solution, and I described in a sibling thread why.

My simpler solution is to cut on my sleep for just one day: after only 4h or less, I'm extremely tired but I have a lot of new ideas and perspectives.

I'd only suggest doing that once every 2 week, and sleeping normally at least each night for the week before for maximal results.

Also, it's a bad idea to code when tired (due to risks of negative productivity): it's better to just think and take notes, draw diagrams etc
