Yeah. Walking into Congress and agreeing with every barb thrown his way is a red flag to me. OpenAI has made AI fear mongering a central plank in their marketing platform. I think their goal is to convince the government to build a regulatory moat around their business.

Why? Because they see the writing on the wall. There’s no network effect here. Anyone can build AI. There are thousands of students going into grad school to study this stuff. The market is going to be flooded.

All of their head start will evaporate unless they can build a moat around it to keep new entrants out. What better way to do that than to have your rockstar pitch man walk into Congress and have them eating out of his hand? They practically begged him to head up a new regulatory agency!
Makers (HN supermen): the strong make what they want; the weak endure the fruits of that (as they must).

Makers: No, not like that! That’s immoral!
If all these sky high real estates costs crash, won’t that just mean cheaper real estate? Making it easier to setup new businesses that can capitalise more on their labours, growing the “real” economy instead of handing off their profits to an investor class?
Ah, this explains it. I had a feeling I was missing something in my less informative response.
> They are closely related. American law sees the H1B as a temporary worker visa, which in theory won’t lead to lots of new naturalized citizens changing the country and the workforce. Indians see the H-1B as the first step to permanent immigration and naturalization.

Not exactly. It's considered a dual-intent visa by USCIS which means that the USCIS also sees it as the first step to permanent immigration and naturalization.

The common dual-intent visas are: H-1B, H-4, L-1A, L-1B, O-1, O-3, K-1 to K-4 and V.

The alternative is a non-intent visa (B-1/B-2, TN, H-2A, H-2B, E-1 to E-3, F-1, J-1, M-1) which becomes invalid as soon as you demonstrate immigrant intent (for instance by filing an I-485 adjustment of status petition).

> The ridiculousness of the H1B process arises from that fundamental conflict.

From a conflict, yes, but not from this conflict. The conflict is that neither US party is pro-immigration but USCIS is still mandated by law to offer immigrant visas. So they make it as difficult as humanly, legally possible.
using the GPIO. But you'd need to build some piggyback connectors. In fact if this had a JST or other connector it would be a lot better. Things like reading resistance values from sensors and displaying them back is pretty trivial, and being able to just load up different scripts to do that instead of, say arduino where you really would need to flash a program for each sensor say, would make it useful.
So they didn't 'design and build a handheld PC', they designed and built a case.
"sending heavy duty lawmen" that "made his wife cry first thing in the morning" talking about "stolen products and jailtime" who then "took everything, even the empty boxes and bags" seems like a surprise attack to me.

That the attack depended on surprise and intimidation doesn't invalidate the use of attack or raid imho, that's the preferred outcome of any police raid too (and websters definition of attack is "to set upon or work against forcefully", no mention of physical violence).

Americans have never been so unwilling to turn their world inside out for an employer who's main priority is hitting the quarterly numbers, even if it means laying people off.
The argument this quip points to is very clear, though. SBF tried to sell the regulatory entrenchment of his monopoly as a solution to the respective market's deep problems, which he purportedly was in a position to address. He was revealed as the epitome of crypto problems: deception of users and partners, manual controls in place of algorithms, total abandonment of the premise that made the whole thing attractive. And messianic delusions, too.

You can buy credits to generate images using DreamStudio. In theory, this seems more convenient than running software locally. But last I checked, their image quality wasn’t all that interesting compared to MidJourney, so I stopped using it.

The Discord-based UI for MidJourney is clunky and unreliable, and waiting for images to generate is annoying. Image quality has improved quite a bit, but it’s no better at following instructions. So it seems like there’s an opening for a competitor, but the competition would need to actually be better.
No, but you are the exactly the right person to hit up for campaign donations in exchange for regulating it a certain way.
It's not really doing hashing, which is random, but instead it makes meaningful connections, like connecting an adjective to its noun, or a pronoun to a previous reference of the name. That is why it is called "Attention is all you need" and not "Hashing is all you need". Attention includes some meaning, it is attentive to some aspect or another.
Yep. Not complicated. They actually only have to contact the people hosting illegal photographs so it's easier than you describe.
Yea the market is rammed full of privacy based analytics tools. I guess the market is pre-validated but it is probably a lot of work to break out in that market.
> When the system intrinsically works by producing shitty managers the problem is in the system, by definition.

Is bad management intrinsic though? Wouldn't that make the presence of good management surprising?

It seems to me that people work better when they enjoy their job and nobody likes working under a bad manager, so bad management is a sign of incompetence and degrades operations.

The presence of bad management is an opportunity to optimize operations; treating people well is generally good for the people and the business.

Because it stores data on a user's computer, isn't using localStorage to track sessions still considered to be a "cookie" for ePrivacy Directive purposes? To that end, I don't think it's not "no cookie banner" compliant for the law as it exists today.

(Note: It _may_ be compliant for future updates of the directive coming in a couple of years, but iirc that isn't out yet.)
Until recently (3/4 years ago?) I had been using Window Maker. Since 1998.

My only reason for abandoning it is because it doesn't support workspaces arranged in a matrix, only as an array.

I started using workspaces in a 3x3 grid, with the center one the "main" one and each of the compass points from center dedicated to a specific project.

Maybe I should see if Window Maker can be modified the way I want it to be.
I'm still not entirely convinced that pipes aren't an anti-pattern. Absolutely an improvement over nested function calls:

a(b(c(d))) vs d |> c |> b |> a

but I'm not convinced pipes are better than more verbose code that explains each step:

step1 = c(d)

step2 = b(step1)

result = a(step2)

I've written a lot of tidy R and do understand the specific use cases where it really doesn't make sense to use the more verbose format, but generally find when I'm building complex mathematical models the verbose method is much easier to understand.
We should put in the air as many CO2 as possible, yep. What could go wrong?. This valuable fertile soil that need 200 years to build and all the CO2 accumulated must be released... because religious thinking.

I honestly don’t get this sentiment, and why Apple is targeted for these — this is objectively the one category where Apple is unlike every other phone manufacturer. How many people walk around with 8 years old any Android phones? I bet that number is insanely small, yet I see it everyday in case of iphones, which manage to get 2 or even 3 owners in their lifetime.

Look at the resell value of any other phone, it basically drops to zero the moment you open the box, while even older iphones get sold for very fair prices. And getting that many years out of a phone is absolutely stellar.

One of the more baffling choices they made was to have “today” and “yesterday” as options on the user reporting tab, even though it can take up to 48 hours to process the data and my dashboard always shows zero users for “today”. Took a while to figure out what was going on there…

Meanwhile the real-time reporting works reasonably well but is limited to a 30 minute window. Some real head-scratching choices were made here.
I was able to convince my wife to switch for anything remotely "controversial", when, during the pandemic, we caught the relatively "real time" disappearance of several "against the grain" articles about covid [1].

I want a search engine, more than a curated guide.

Your HTTP use case was a good one as that is still very tedious generally. There are some less well integrated solutions that have come up from time to time, but in general being able to run the HTTP request once and from then on mock the request/result easily would be great.

Hot reload seems to be something that comes and goes. Android Studio has had it and then not had it and then had it again several times. The cases in which it works seem to be fairly arbitrary. Improvements in this space would be great.
Not an answer to your question, but I did find their justification for why they require a work email address intriguing.

I've been working through this issue a lot lately. There tend to be two camps, the "Make the experience good for the person trying to access the data, because good relationships are more important than the ability to contact someone" versus "Why should I give someone something for free when there is zero chance I can ever make a sale to that person?"

It should be paid back if she still had it.

But it's questionable whether burdening criminals with debts they can never repay is the best solution.

Since the creditors have no chance of getting that money back, it's just an additional punishment. But she already got jail time as a punishment.

I think, once you served your time, you should get a chance of a new start, without being forever burdened with debt.

Also, I think that bedazzling investors is not the worst thing she did. The worst thing is that she sold patients medical tests that didn't work.
Sunk cost fallacy strikes yet again. Seriously "office" and "sunk cost fallacy" are becoming synonymous these days. It is downright embarrassing that they can't even offer a temptations.

I highly recommend Psychological Warfare (and its development from the 40's to the 50's). Read it, and apply its lessons to itself. I think you'll find that Linebarger has more to say, between the lines, and you'll probably also get a more nuanced idea of his views than the writers of TFA had.

> And it's exactly the same with smartphones: you assume it's a first-order effect through circumstancial observations, but I'd argue that's just your personal bias, and we have no effective tools to split the different.

Incorrect, we have many self-reports from direct interventions of people leaving social media and reporting drastic improvements in mental health. We also see in the data, temporal correlations from the onset of poorer mental health after people receive cell phones and join social media.

> There's just so many other things, including the technical evolutions that allowed smartphones to get popular in the first place, the social changes that also happen as we get a more global society etc.

What other things are simultaneously global/cross-cultural and affect genders differently?

> And I also see a difference between saying "it's the smarphones!" and "it's social media!" (getting rid of smartphones doesn't delete social media)

It's both. The effects are clearly synergistic. Phones are a constant distraction and engaging on their own, which could lead to sleep loss and less direct social engagement, and social media itself is also toxic in numerous ways, and its constant presence by your side means constant preoccupation, and compounded with their algorithmic optimization to drive engagement, it's a recipe for poor mental health.

> You (and the author) seem to assume that because other people aren't coming up with random guesses that look convincing, your own random guess has suddently extra weight and validity.

Not extra weight and validity, it carries all the weight and validity that literally the only explanation for the current data should carry.

> and if it really was mainly the smartphones front and center, we'd have seen specific issues way before 2010, especially in SEA for instance.

Haidt has been very clear that smartphones + social media are the main drivers. Phones themselves might cause some issues but not enough to explain the trends, and social media alone might cause some issues but not enough to explain the trends if you're only logging in a couple of times a day from your desktop or laptop. Combined, they clearly augment each other.
In my opinion this is a big reason software is so brittle, needs to be constantly patched and updated, and overall innovation in software moves very slowly. Having engineers do management work is undermining how hard engineering is -OR- underestimating how powerful software is.

In other words, the Idea is that engineers adds more value to a company if they also do all these management tasks, which implies that engineering is not enough and is not as valuable on its own - something I would contend because as we can see software is capable of amazing things like AI that will soon automate all these management tasks anyway. If companies invested in their engineers doing only engineering, then people could maximize their skills, and reach those new levels of productivity thanks to advanced software. Instead the industry limits engineers, and insists on them hitting a technical ceiling, effectively pushing them in a non-technical direction in favor of hiring younger engineers to do the "grunt work". Software engineering is only grunt work when you don't understand its true potential, and its endless complexity that takes a lifetime to master.

Under the current copyright regime, I think we need very strict protections for creators and these huge AI models that can generate new content. Maybe make works with copyright require a separate and explicit permission for training and structure in a specific way so that it is not easy to get permission for this stuff without paying creators (so no just slurping up data from GitHub using ToS, they'd have to get explicit agreements from developers).

So, if you got a time machine back to the year 2000 and knew how to code Transformers - could you do it? Your CPU/cloud/parallel processing hardware would be limited, but as I understand it there's nothing revolutionary being done here, just a lot of matrix math that produces results (and we're still fully understanding why that all happens).
The neural net is just a math function, continuous even, fully differentiable in all input points. In order to "learn" anything we compute gradients towards the function parameters. They get "nudged" slightly towards a better response, and we do this billions of times. It's like carving a raw stone block into a complex scene. If you put your data into the system it flows towards the desired output because the right path has been engraved during training.

<rant> This explains a bit how neural nets work but from this to chatGPT is another whole leap. You'd have to assign some of the merits of the AI to the training data itself, it's not just the algorithm for learning, but what is being learned that matters. The neural net is the same, but using 1T tokens of text is making it smart. What's so magic about this data that it can turn a random init into a language programmable system? And the same language information make a baby into a modern human, instead of just another animal. </>

Outside of self driving cars (which imo can and should be regulated by the ntsa), the thing that has never killed zero people probably shouldn't be regulated by the thing that has killed... a lot more than that until there's a clear and obvious safety concern with something specific within the "AI" category of technology (would love if we de-scifi'd this and called it machine learning but I'm picking my battles here).

BigFloats aren't built in to the syntax of the language (and probably should't be, so you need to escape the parser somehow -- either pass a string to the constructor, or use the @big_str macro to get a non-standard string parsed into a BigFloat.
