Author here, thanks for reading and very glad you found it helpful. I know that we didn't talk as much about hiring specifically in this post so that could be an interesting topic for the future.
I am not sure how much more Business Insider is than Reddit, but this article seems relevant: https://www.businessinsider.com/jpmorgan-chase-employees-des...

With the AGPL3 license requiring derivatives operating over a network to disclose their source code (my rough summarisation), does that mean GitHub Copilot should be publishing its source code publicly somewhere?
They say they don’t
> It inhibits complex 1, the leading enzyme in a chain of reactions that convert food to energy in cellular organelles called mitochondria.

So they upside is that it probably significantly reduces your risk of both cancer and type 2 diabetes, which you're >100x more likely to die from than Parkinson's.

There are even longevity bloggers, like Peter Attia, who advocate that everyone should be taking mitochondrial complex 1 inhibitors.
Everyone always talks about stallman, nobody talks about the fact that the woman who wrote that medium post has all the signs of being an equally difficult to bear sperg (obsessive thoughts, noise sensitivity, punctuality/time focused, disgust at the idea of being touched, etc)

It is really underappreciated how many female autists go unnoticed, even by themselves. They just freak out about all the other nerds' autism in a seemingly prosocial way. This explains an unreasonably large chunk of internet culture war.

> If there’s a software equivalent of a Cathedral then I still haven’t found it.

Actually you have. It’s HN! The website that hasn’t changed in decades… used by the most tech savvy people in the world!
“Don’t be evil” ...
Well, that's the whole point of that list, innit. They are pointing out the kind of stories that have been done to death, so that people stop doing them to death, already.
Just to rewind, you started with the claim that the distinction between invasive and non-invasive is fully arbitrary and not useful, then further suggested the completely mythological idea that evolution has a “direction” that can be accelerated.

I know nothing about this particular weed and its effects, but I don’t need to in order to know your claims are incorrect.

If you want instead to make the claim “this particular species isn’t invasive and/or doesn’t yield undesirable effects on its environment” then go ahead and do that, but it’s a very different one.
... and as expected you have nothing.

>Don’t you think it’s hubris of man to assume he’s already got it all figured out and therefore, because he cannot reconcile these observations with his pet theories, The observations must be doubted?

No, because science isn't based on mere assumption, much less the assumptions that current physical models are absolutely correct. Actual scientists don't believe they all have everything figured out, nor are they incapable of doubt. But the way science reconciles observations is through experimentation and proof, and all people like yourself have is faith, and faith isn't science.

Your premise that science is an edifice of perpetual ignorance and fear of the unknown is simply not borne out by its history, and your claim that current physics is merely the result of hubris can be disproved by the fact that its observations correlate well enough, and consistently enough, to reality that we've been able to base the entirety of our technological civilization on it.

>Such as suggested here must be so dangerous to your worldview as to require you discover and reply it, to ensure that such a challenge does not go unanswered, as even out of sight, Such a powerful suggestion would be an intolerable nagging doubt in your mind that would threaten to unravel everything you hold dear and depend upon for your daily existence. Am i right?

No. Not even a little. I just happened to like the thread because UFO threads can sometimes be fun, and followed up on it. My jimmies remain unrustled and my worldview fully raveled.

I just always find it hilarious when people hold up easily faked photos and videos as evidence that the entire corpus of science itself must be wrong, to the point of talking down to people who dare suggest that it's even worth considering.

Like, obviously faster than light travel exists, just look at that smoke plume. Physics? Pssh. Ignorant savages, all. Come on.

It's your worldview that is based entirely on hubris, not mine. I mean, as UFO "proof" goes, this isn't even that convincing.

And I ain't your son. Jackass.
Yeah from your description it sounds like those problems are solved by Spark. Spark doesn't persist intermediate state to Cassandra which might make it better since its in-memory(normally, you can allow spill to disk) persistence mechanisms(RDDs, Datasets) are fast, keep data near compute, and can scale up elasticity during a run.
Will do! Thank you very much for the suggestion!
Presumably there's already known risk factors studied thoroughly for race, age, and sex. So they adjusted the numbers to account for that and their focus was on locality.
Looks like this is WIP and far from complete.
That's more about the ticket price, and just going to have some fun with friends (plus the trend), than the music. People do similar shit for iPhone or console launches, movie premieres, social media stars, and so on.
Dang, I didn't realise NT for PowerPC can't be emulated. That's also a shame.

Without wanting to sound entitled, my preference is NT for Alpha. That's because Visual Basic 6.0 for Alpha exists, but not for PowerPC. Of course, as a retro computing enthusiast, I'll gladly take any.
I think you need to learn how to read the room.
I love Live, but I just think it's too pricey. Just the standard version is $400 with taxes (in my country).
I have been using it as a code companion getting it to do some dirty work that I would have had to ask Google and wade through results and find a "similar example to what I'm trying to achieve, then having to apply it to my situation.

Instead I can describe my precise situation to ChatGTP and get something that is almost 95% ready to plug in straight to my code.

I will give an example.

I work on asp.net, heavy sql backend application. Sometimes while I am working on a big task, I skip a few things as I develop and hone in on my ultimate solution. Then I go back and tidy things up. I would sometimes mock data that I would have had to write onto real sql tables into temporary tables and at the end, I would go and turn those temp tables into real tables. ChatGPT has been very good at say turning those temporary (staging) work into real work

e.g. Hey ChatGTP, here's my settings table which I have defined as a temporary table, can you write me a script that turns this into the real table, and another script for the data import script

e.g. Hey chatGTP, I need to output this xml from this sql, can you have a go at turning this into something like this, here's the table schema I'm working with
Based on your profile, you do not work in healthcare, so who’s the “we” you’re referring to? The overworked and underpaid health care workers that will actually have to “help each other a little bit”?
Many sources, spanning many years, and both private (such as newspapers or NGOs) as well as governmental (e.g. the UN), have found that an overwhelming percentage of razed rainforest in Brazil was used for cattle farming [1][2], with a large part of the remainder going to large-scale soy farms, and a tiny bit for small-scale subsistence farming.

Your entitled to your own beliefs, but Julia is more of a research project that's crowd sourcing phds to make products for them then it is a programming language. In other programming languages I've used past a 1.0 release (hint that's many) I've never seen the type of breaking bugs that occur. If Julia is this end all be all scientific computing language then I expect the CSV package not to be incompatible with Base after a minor version bump. Having to manually compile a patched fix to read csvs is not normal... Sorry, but that's never happened to me in R, python, Go, Rust, C++, Java, Scala, JavaScript, etc. If that's an unrealistic expectation then maybe Julia is just holding an incredibly low bar compared to it's competitors.
Maybe instead we could, e.g., force streaming services to play an equal number of songs from every musician (or imagined musician), regardless of talent. Want to listen to Bach? Okay, but you have to listen to five hundred songs from untalented randos before hearing a Bach piece.

That would be "fair", yes?
To my mind "must be allowed to" an English idiom. The "must" is a form of exaggeration, the effect being that the speaker is acknowledging that they are stating an opinion.
I have no clue what trichloroethylene is so I think the title is fair. It could be a stone for all I know.
> there are serious unknown unknowns that we can't take into account.

We can model stuff. Also we don't find out if we don't try.

I just don't get how we are fine with causing constant large-scale intentional harm to environment for industrial purposes even as there were so many unintended consequences, but when considering a major project specifically aimed to benefit our environment and long-term humanity it's instantly the apathetic "oh but what if?".

Plus consider the amount of free clean water energy and positive uses of that as a result of this project.
Sooooo then LISP for growth, profit and staying power ?

Sorta like how LISP might be the "Guns & Roses" of coding; Not everyone like it, but in their hearts they know it has greatness on some level. And no one can argue with their staying power :D
> This is in production right now as far as I know and adds very little latency.

How much? As GP said, > 5ms is instant disqualification. And that is for your whole app, not just the effects pipeline.

GP is right, go use a DAW in a serious setting for a while to build up an intuition of the needs of these users.
> I believe provenance is almost everything that matters in art, because it's what equips an artifact with meaning.

I've never "understood art", but when you phrased it like that it makes perfect sense. To me, provenance just isn't interesting. So I judge the pieces as they stand in front of me.
“Operator, please keep this line clear!”
Are there even similar solutions available commercially? Even at a size of JPM, I highly doubt that they would develop such a complex system in-house. Also, for any high-skill job, I feel such an "activity metric" is utterly useless and not correlated with value contributions.
Do you have an literature which suggests herd immunity is even possible for flu?
When I was a kid growing up in the London suburbs in the 70s and 80s I could remember flocks of all types of birds especially starlings and blackbirds being common place, and then, reading this article, it reminded me that I stopped seeing flocks.

Even now, living outside London, I rarely see flocks of birds, and if I do, nowhere near as large as I remember, and I don't think its observer bias either.

My understanding is that he has been misquoted (as OP explained), and anytime he did attempt to make a "defense" for Minsky it was all full of "Yeah technically" in the way that autistic folks tend to process things. The only problematic thing he said, to my knowledge, he recanted and then explained he learned better after engaging with sexual abuse victims to learn more of their experiences. It's hard for me to see autistic people as actual predators, because in my experiences they are almost always the victims who have their intents and words mischaracterized and misconstrued for a dozen and more reasons.

Rural landowners who didn't had a marketable crop/produce (wine) already got expropriated, and their land already incorporate 'rationalized' ag. I know of 6 person in my mother's village who killed themselves between the 80s and late 90s, because of 'revolver' credits (aptly renamed), and tbf the rest of their family (4 different families) got it worse imho, until the state swoopt in and forgave the debt. I think only one independent farmer still exist in the area, his wife work at the local post office/bank, so they probably were more difficult targets.

It's not the great leap forward, it's the small choking of those left behind.

There doesn't even need to be a second additional secret letter. Just a bit of emphasis and a wink in the exact way Congress responded to Washington. "This Congress does not wish to see your army burning down New York." They never explicitly forbade some unrelated good patriots from taking up that cause out of sheer love of country (or, perhaps even, love of money).
What would happen that was bad if we banned this until we had more safety evidence?
I cannot speak for anyone who downvoted you, but your second paragraph recapitulates the sort of 'just-so' stories made up to explain away the successes of black people in athletics and more generally, and similarly for people of the 'wrong' gender, nationality or social class (when the future Kaiser Wilhelm II started winning yacht races at the prestigious Cowes Week regatta in Britain, he was dismissed by some as "trying too hard.")

The frequency with which this sort of thing has happened suggests that, for some people, anything is preferable to the simple acceptance of the superior abilities of the people in question.

The fact you state in your final paragraph is consistent with a number of hypotheses, including simple chance.
You could choose to use a truly random hardware random number generator, and it would make zero difference to the system, empirically or philosophically.
>But increasing the model size alone doesn't seem to make sense to anyone for some reason.

It's not Economically viable or efficient to just scale model size.

>This has nothing to do with your claim that “We already know that the higher the parameter count, the lower the training data required”. To back such a claim we'd need a 540b model trained on 10b token beating / rivaling with a 8b parameters trained on 400b. I'm not aware of anything like this existing today.

Literally this is what I said

>a 50 billion parameter model will far outperform a 5 billion one TRAINED ON THE SAME DATA.

A 400b dataset is not the same training data as a 10b dataset
Every creator and author has their own idea of what they want and do not want. A license is rarely ever comprehensive enough to cover all of it, and as time goes on those ideas can also change with the author.
I'd assume this is in relation to how much other operations cost. With 'git clone' you at least download the whole repository. Compare that to 'git fetch', which is essentially a lookup at the last-modified timestamp.
Great link - deeply cited, nuanced, logical and relevant. Hadn’t encountered this publication before, will see what else they have to offer.
I had a look around last time I dived into Ruby internals, and there's really not a lot around. But the Ruby source is well structured and well commented, I'd recommend just piling in to it, when you get stuck search on the text of the comments or ask on SO etc.

Websockets use one TCP socket for starters with SE you use separate sockets from ingress and egress which is much simpler to scale from an infrastructural point of view.

I clearly said many-to-many, everything else is trivial to scale because only many-to-many requires strictly shared memory atomic parallelization.

You could write a better server in Java than javascript/c(++) but I haven't found any, and to be honest the extra complication of the binary protocol doesn't even make me curious enough to waste 5 seconds to google it.

SSE over HTTP/1.1 is the final solution. Everything else is a waste of time for eternity.
Would you be so kind to post these results? How much faster, which models etc.
Alot of socioeconomic factors are baked into the above co-morbidities but anyway, is there a reason to think that veterans of two different marine camps have significantly different socioeconomic profiles from eachother?
Antitrust is one thing, but by cleanroom implementation standards (one team reads the source and writes a spec, another team writes the code) CoPilot is illegal to begin with.

CoPilot reads and rearranges the IP that was created by millions of people who were working very hard and did not anticipate a code laundering machine when they wrote the code and the licenses.
I saw this film as a kid one Sunday afternoon, when the summer holidays seemed to last forever. Although dystopian, it was exciting, somewhat dangerous, while at the time also cerebral… probably had an effect on a young boy.
Ultimately, it is important to strike a balance between promoting a robust exchange of ideas and protecting individuals and society from harmful content. Elon Musk's choices may not align perfectly with every person's vision of free speech absolutism, but it is essential to acknowledge the complexities inherent in such decisions and the challenging position he finds himself in.
Any talks of flooding anywhere with water/sea just remind me of the "Flood Ohio" meme, both in terms of practicality & humour:

I'm gradually moving to (modern) Fortran, and it's just lovely to see all this activity. Fortran really reaches a sweet spot if all you want to do is write straightforward numerical algorithms that run reasonably fast.
You say that like deserts are bad ecosystems that would be improved by ecological disruption and invasive species.
I think what happened is that writing and even publishing has become democratised, in a sense. In the sense that there are many more people alive today, than in Chaucher's time, that can write, and that want to write (because they love reading, or even writing) and that can do it reasonably well, and get their writings published. Inevitably, the majority of those people will not come up with the most original stories, or the best writing, inevitably the majority of what is written will not be the best of what is written. Duh.

So it's not like there's fewer stories to tell now, it's just there's more people writing and 90% of everything is dross, as ever since the dawn of time.

Seen another way, in Chaucer's time you had to be Chaucer to write, and publish. Nowadays, anyone can write and publish. Inevitably, quality degrades, and originality degrades.
We use the same graphic buses, such as SXM4 and PCI Express 4.0 x 16, as you would find in your system. Theoretically, there should be no difference in performance or compatibility at all.

If you have conducted your tests on shared instances and have observed such differences, then it's understandable. However, I want to emphasize once again that we provide dedicated virtual machines, which means that the resources are exclusively allocated to each user and not shared.
The real challenge here is that people simply don't want to farm anymore. We built ourselves a vicious cycle with mechanization and chemicals that allowed farms to produce more per acre, leading to fewer people farming and further dependence on oil and chemicals. Even worse, food systems are so centralized and complex that there's very little left to even pay the farmer by the time the rest of the supply chain makes it's cut.

Local food production may go a long way as it reduces the steps between the farm and the end consumer. That still may not be enough though, rewiring higher food prices regardless of how it's produced.

In one of the linked studied the result was that one person working 43 hours per week could profit €900-1600 per month. The same article mentions a minimum wage of €9.61/hour, so even on the high end the farmer is working all that time and owning the risk of a bad harvest to make less than minimum wage. They didn't mention any holdback on the crops to feed the farmer, so they might be separately paying for food out of that income. People just aren't going to do that in large numbers unless they have to.
You can't use manure of industrial farms in the fields, too much chemical compounds that can destroy your soil, killing fungi and bacterial life.

I think in my area they try to use manure to produce methane.

I think Java virtual threads and structured concurrency are going to only improve its standing.

"In this essay, we assert that an emergent ability of LLMs is to humanize technology, a term that we use to imply making technology more human-centered, accessible, and responsive to human needs and values.

We make this argument by calling out three mechanizing bottlenecks in current technology, namely, creating diverse and accessible content, learning complex digital tools, and personalizing machine learning algorithms. These bottlenecks reinforce digital divides and sustain dark patterns."

The OP is making a case for the social benefits of LLMs by highlighting the the (predicted) facility of this technology to integrate via the universal interface of natural language, and adapt via learning.

OP is further implying that "digital divides and sustain dark patterns" are somehow in the same category as the possibly catastrophic damage by the misuse of pervasive AI.

Regarding the first item, the issue is precisely the pervasive penetration of technology into day to day fabric of human life. Should there and can there be limits to integration of technology into human life. That is Q #1. And as we can see in item 2, OP is starting from a position of no limits to technology integration into society, and addressing current problems with the steps taken towards that goal to date.

We need to first start from the actual question: Can there and should there be limits to integrating technology into the fabric of human life. We can follow that up with what sort of technology should be seamlessly integrated into human life (with categories of privately owned, centrally operated, .., etc. for distinct consideration).

Also, since OP decided to decorate the text with 'Global South' images and accounts of the positive impact of technology to those societies, it needs to be pointed out that in those cases, technology was addressing the lack of (modern) development of civic (human) structures in those societies, not a 'universal' human condition.
