I agree - basing it off creation could make sense but then I’d argue for maybe more like 50 years. Plenty of works take decades in and of themselves. George RR Martin started Game of thrones 27 years ago. Should HBO just have been able to take his work and make millions without paying him a dime? It would just turn into corporations exploiting popular public domain works.
I use the aichat [1] command line tool a lot for these sort of ad hoc chats. It takes piped input and has nice configurability for setting up a variety of system prompts ("roles"), etc.

If you want to use GPT-4 to manipulate and edit files in your local file system, you can use my cli tool aider [2]. It’s intended for generating and editing code, but you can use it to chat with GPT-4 to read, edit and write any text files in your local. If the files are under git source control, it will commit the changes as they happen as well.

Here’s a transcript of aider editing the ANSI-escape codes in an asciinema screencast recording, for example[3].

People might be willing to pay more and wait longer for an open source phone, but when they finally get the phone they do still expect it to not suck. So high returns suggests that the phone sucks after all. I would say that the Nokia N9 UI was well designed, but the phone or its software was so slow it was almost unusable. If I had paid full price for mine I would have been pissed.

It would be trivial to confirm yourself, Wireshark can scan for outgoing network packets and audio would require a large, continuous, byte stream.

> I rather have the option to going to work and I think companies should still offer a solution for that if they are able to.

I love being in the office. I hate the hour commute. And I hate doubling or tripling my housing price. I prefer showering at 745 and connecting and being productive at 8 over showering at 645 and driving into work to be productive at 8 (while being in zoom meetings all day anyway).

I like records too. They are so cool with nice artwork. And I like record stores. But I listen to music 99% of the time digitally.

The office is the same way. It’s not that it isn’t nice. It’s that the cost of using it over better alternatives is madness, especially at scale.

Imagine all the pollution saved from people driving to work.

> The amount of people who currently drive cars who think to themselves, "You know what would be better? If I were sitting on some form of public transit right now..."

You're looking at it backward. I think almost everyone who sits in traffic or nearly gets in a crash by someone doing something stupid thinks, "Driving is awful." They've just been conditioned to think there's no alternative.
> Current optical designs mean that there is a large out of focus area when you look anywhere that isn't forward

You sound like you are a year or two out of date with your "current" understanding. The industry has moved to pancake lenses which make the view clear edge to edge. There's no more out of focus peripheral view, in recent headsets you read and look around using your eyeballs and not your head just like you would naturally.

It is already known that the Apple headset uses this updated optical system, along with micro OLED displays at super high resolution (approx double current industry standards). The clarity and focus are going to be absolutely amazing.

In Paris, buses are a little slower than light rail, so they tend to be associated with higher status, parents with prams, and elderly people, who have more time and would rather enjoy the view. Middle-class people take the metro. The working class lives in the suburbs and takes the regional trains.
Tesla was a lot weirder than Einstein, but Einstein's personal life was not totally normal. He wrote his wife a letter saying “You will expect no affection from me”, cheated on her with his first cousin, then married his first cousin, but only after deciding against marrying her daughter instead.

Here's a radical idea: disband and shutdown the public bus system. Before you reply with an angry post, read the rest of the plan. These systems take hundreds of millions of public funds and are completely ineffective in suburban areas (most of the country). Take that money and give a "rideshare card" with funds automatically filled every month (lower income will get more free funds). Either work with Uber/Lyft or start a similar government rideshare service. Something like this will actually get people to consider giving up their cars.

After a while, certain high usage routes will be noticed in the rideshare data. It will become obvious which streets and destinations could be optimally served with high capacity buses. Now is the time to bring in bus routes. Setup these bus routes and offer a discount for using them.

The current system isn't working, we need to try something different.
Saying something like "New York" immediately invalidates the rest of your
comment as New York (City)

New York != New York City. Don Draper lived in Ossining, which is about forty (40) miles north of Lower Manhattan (New York City). What's being discussed is commuter rail, not dense intracity transit. Commuter rail systems exist across the country and are absolutely a viable way of getting folks out of cars.

I can imagine a headset that allows me to have the equivalent desktop space of quad HiDPI displays for the price of one display, and the ability to bring that anywhere. The ability to edit video on a display that is absolutely massive would be a win for me.
That is a shame. I went and it was one of the greatest paid for experiences of my life. A LARP with many great actors paid to be your friend in an environment with an attention to detail that I don’t think exists elsewhere.

Which is fine, isn't it?

The way I see it, there are 2 options: either you buy software "as is" and can use it forever, but you don't get free access to updates (or get them up to certain point of time), or you pay for a subscription. People who bought old versions of Pixelmator or Photoshop or 1Password can still use them (I have 1Password 4 on one of my devices), as long as the system updates won't render it useless.

I don't remember specifics from the show but probably Don Draper's wife drove him to whatever commuter rail station in Westchester Country or southern Connecticut and he took the train to Grand Central Station and walked to his office on Madison Avenue from there.

If I worked in Boston/Cambridge, I could (and sometimes do) take the train in a similar manner though it takes me 90-120 minutes each way depending upon destination.
But it's a plausible situation (terminal/severe illnesses are not that rare) and a relevant argument against the "expire on death" copyright proposal. Laws often need to deal with "stupidly specific" cases because they do happen in the real world.

You're right that the resistance is where the heat is dissipated, but lowering the resistance does not actually change the amount of heat. Transistor switching can be modeled as a step input to an RC circuit [1]. If you integrate the power through the resistor to infinity, you'll see that the value of the resistor drops out.

Intuitively, you might think of it like this: to charge a capacitor (or transistor) up to a certain voltage, you need a fixed number of electrons. That number of electrons will always pass through the resistor and generate heat based on their energy. Even if you change the resistor value, its still the same number of electrons, and the same amount of energy.

What does change with resistance, though, is the time over which the power is dissipated. In practice, you have to make sure the resistors are small enough such that you can achieve your desired clock speed.

There are actual resistive losses too, but they're mainly related to power delivery.

About the time I started learning modern JavaScript (~2015), Java developers were bemoaning the chaos of untyped languages for serious development. For me, it was nice not to have to worry about types for a while, and I resisted the move to TypeScript. If I wanted types, I'd go back to Java.

Fast-forward to this year, I was giving GraphQL a try, and the Getting Started guide I was following recommended the TypeScript path. Okay, why not? While it certainly has come a long way, TypeScript is still a land of quicksand. After wasting my time for a few days, I gave up. Better things to do with my life.

So I like the idea here. Do the minimum to get by, and otherwise try to ignore the madness.
It's in the constitution:

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;"

The question is does the heritability of IP promote the progress of science and useful arts, or does it simply enrich heirs? I can see the argument that people wouldn't create art or do science if they couldn't profit from it, but it's much greyer whether they wouldn't do it if they couldn't pass it to their heirs.
Seems like you spent the time to learn it and still dislike it?

Company I work at has taken to running most large meetings in person, booking out a large meeting room for half the day, and then often structuring social events around the day as well, often with paid for drinks and food.

I feel like these in person get togethers are far more interactive and productive than a day of calls where most people go camera off and fall asleep 30 mins in. Actually doing work remote works mostly fine, but god I hate group calls, the latency, the bad audio, etc.
Apple watch? Airpods maybe? Apple silicon for sure.

I only had the original Pixelmator, but while it was superfast and Mac-like, it felt amateur next to Affinity, which feels like the Adobe replacement it’s angling to be. But each is $70 flat and I know Affinity has sales that make it a steal, so buy both and you’re probably still ahead if you cancel your CC sub.
Loved nedit and used it until late 2000s… at some point moving to Geany because it was better integrated and developing faster. Subpixel font aliasing etc.
That's a reasonable way to think about it - you take energy from the supply voltage to charge the gate capacitor when the logic line goes high, then dump it when the logic line goes low.

If you had a lossless bidirectional voltage converter circuit for each gate capacitance, then you could charge the capacitor from the supply and discharge it back into the supply, removing any switching losses.
It's got potential as a product but I haven't committed to it yet. I have two ideas in mind, (1) a consumer product which is a bit like social media without the social (basically what it is now) and (2) a "pro" product that is capable of handling a network of classifications and more complex workflows.

I was talking to somebody about the potential as an open source project and came to the conclusion that it's a research project right now but my research projects are more solid than average. I know I'm not afraid to demo it because I run it every day and it spins like a top.

Great to see that you're still exploring hardware, Eric! I'm definitely planning to get one of these, but as some others have mentioned, I might attempt to convert it into a LoRa peer-to-peer communicator. Currently, I rely on MestTastic relays, which can be quite cumbersome due to the need for an iPhone or Android device.

Sure.

And to get your car registered in most states, you usually only have to pass an emissions test, have a valid license, and have proof of insurance at the time that you register the car.

This means that 11 out of 12 months, you get to drive around without insurance.
Your first point is literally what I mentioned, “it’s not what I’m used to”. Gnome got completely revamped, and that in itself should not be a criticism of the new thing itself.

Gnome did take into account this hybrid way, but as I mentioned didn’t compromise on anything for that. It’s perfectly usable on both desktop and laptop.

Gnome is an opinionated desktop environment, and the more customization you allow, the bigger the surface area of your software is. I think gnome struck a good balance between being customizable to a degree, but not making their unpaid job all that harder. I use vanilla gnome for what its worth.

As a power user you likely have your hand on the keyboard, so a resize is just super+right mouse, which has a huge target area of almost the whole window. Same for moving.

I have tried focus follows many years ago, but can’t say anything about its current state.
FWIW I'm not sure analogies between intellectual property and actual property really work, since they are pretty fundamentally different if you compare the specifics.
Yeah, that's on my roadmap for "llm

Oh, GPT-4 does hallucinate. It's more subtle than with GPT-3.5, but it's there. Most of the time I had it happen, it could either correct itself, or counter-hallucinated (with further corrections oscillating) - the latter is quite easy to spot.

It's not a big deal in practice, though, as long as you remember to take a probabilistic approach. GPT-4 is not an oracle, it's a 4 year old savant, that tries its best, but has attention span of a hamster, and likes to extrapolate instead of saying "I don't know". In domains you have at least minimal experience in (e.g. you can program, but not in the language/framework you're asking about), it's relatively easy to verify things by common sense and/or by paying attention to the conversation - if the follow-up message seems to contradict the previous one, it's likely at least one of them involves a hallucination. Etc.

The overall feel I get for GPT-4, at least in terms of code, is that its hallucinations tend to mostly be of the "I don't know for sure, but seems logical that..." kind.

A real example from earlier today: I asked GPT-4 to refactor some code C++ that contained function calls like InitializeSomething(), AddWidget(), etc. It decided to put all those calls into RAII objects, and hallucinated the existence of corresponding function DeinitializeSomething(), RemoveWidget(), etc. I kind of understand why it did that - it feels only logical that such functions exist too.

I wasn't suggesting that all the developers have to develop and compile their code on antiquated hardware. They should still have fast development machines.

What I was saying that if the developers ONLY run their software on their high-powered computers and never try it on slow hardware, they generally resort to the 'it runs fine on my machine' response when customers start complaining about performance.

The rumors that have come out say that Apple has achieved 1:1 3d video chat where there avatars are almost completely photo realistic. I'm very interested to see this especially. Apparently this is a big reason why the device has to bundle 2 X M2 processors and also limits it to one on one calls. I think it's going to be amazing and significantly shift people's perceptions here with how good it is. They should be able to demonstrate hyper realistic pass through as well so essentially you are looking at an almost completely realistic image of the other person teleported into your own surroundings.
I won't believe in it until it proves to solve one of the known NP problems in polynomial time.

Currently car drivers are subsidised; vast amounts of valuable public land are turned over to them to use for free, while they're allowed to spew pollution and kill people on a scale that would get any other activity banned at a fraction of that level.

We don't need to be punitive, but we should make drivers pay their fair share of the costs they impose on the rest of us.

Part of the issue is that the government itself takes part in that marketplace as a seller and buyer. There's no resonable way to make laws for corporations while giving a pass to government agencies, it might be proposed but it would never pass. One of the biggest clients of Cambridge Analytica was the Trump campaign.

I became disillusioned about hoping laws pass that protect user data after watching the TikTok hearing. The congressman questioning whether TikTok tracks eye dialation as a signal for "the algorithm", and the CEO having to explain that it's used for funny face filters, gave me second hand embarrasment. It reminds me of the Facebook hearing where a congressman ask whether it was possible to ban "finsta" and the Head of Global Safety at FB reponding that it's not a product. It's people having a secondary personal account limited to specific friends. An explanation the congressman was having a hard time understanding.
