Anecdote from 1 VC is that they don't really know how AI companies can make money. It's like the leaked Google document that said that neither Google nor OpenAI have any moat in AI.

And this is Google. How is a basic startup supposed to make significant sums of money from AI when even Google doesn't believe it can create something that can't be replicated or leapfrogged fairly easily.

I can't even turn off 2G on my relatively new Samsung handset, so I find it hard to believe it is "deprecated".

There are likely zero 2G towers in my area, but that doesn't mean handset suppliers don't ship it still.
We mention the names of a bunch of vendors but we don't have direct links. We probably should but I didn't want to wander into the waters of appearing to suggest/recommend one vendor over another.

This is not how recalls work in the US (or any developed, Western country that I know of). The regulator, in this case the NHTSA, can issue recalls without the consent of the manufacturer.

In this case, the manufacturer is "working with NHTSA" but publicly pushing back on some of the claims made by the NHTSA's recall demand.
OpenAI uses this in their APIs to stream tokens
Well, reality often works differently, and the bulk of the work is to prepare the environment where that SQL query may run. You have various data sources - and which one exactly, that SQL query won't tell you, you'll usually have to go and find out with some other means. The data sources have various interfaces and formats - and sometimes protocols too. You might decide to collect the data together, to that proverbial data lake - then to run the SQL query you'll have to design that data lake, tables, columns and all, and convert the data into it. Or - I was wondering if this applies to the described problem - for one-off calculations you may choose to work with streams of data, skipping building data lakes - this can work, but how to correctly map SQL to streaming data could be an interesting problem - what if some data you need several times for several different intermediate functions, will you have to read streams many times or do something else?..

So, yes, the SQL query. Perhaps one of the small and easy parts of the problem.
SSE is pretty good but I have never been able to see the messages in firefox devtools, and doesn't work with binary data.

HTTP/2 streams are just as easy to implement, and work both ways and support binary data.
I can totally see this happening, and have wondered whether it would make sense to get my kid a cellular enabled Apple Watch instead of smartphone or dumbphone. She could use it in emergencies, and she'd avoid the green-bubble stigma that dumphone/android users endure (at least in my geo area, where most of my peers have iDevices).
You're right, and I believe "How the mind works" by Pinker goes over this and the evidence for it. It makes perfect sense for grandparents to pour more resources into grandkids who are 100% certain to be yours. There are plenty of other similar phenomena that are determined by the estimated genetic overlap, like domestic abuse/violence is almost entirely between genetically unrelated people, i.e. between spouses, step parents and their step children etc. The more related the less violence.

The early adopters are usually transpilers (or code generators) which can quickly take advantage of new features without the effort of rewriting an entire codebase.

In the same way that Rust used underlying `const` attributes in LLVM (and found all the weird edge cases), and Nim used C as an intermediate as have many other lisp or object-ish languages.

ChatGPT uses SSE to stream the AI's responses, token-by-token!
Not just with this but other changes I am seeing, my strategy is to be in the top 20% talent and broaden my skillset so that I can have options. RTO is one thing but what if employment in tech itself becomes difficult. You already need lots of social networking and groveling as it is.

You know what I keep wondering, why don't these companies look at the numbers and say "if you want to WFH you will get a 20% paycut" instead? People who are good at their job and like the company might just stick around even then. They get to save on top expensive talent.
I've always found most peoples' fascination with their screens a bit uncanny, but I have to say that I do understand anything that could pass the time at a graduation ceremony.

Why can my bank and credit card vendors tell me "up to the second" the status of my account. I use a credit card and get an alert on my Apple Watch. The IRS could have an app that shows it in real time (say up to the day) how much tax you've paid and if they think you'll owe more or get a refund based upon what they know at that point and time and what they know from last year.

Second, why do I need to give my employer my SSN and several forms of ID? Couldn't I share some sort of token that the IRS could give them with my name and maybe a picture and all the instructions embedded on how to withhold, how much to withhold, etc. Maybe it could be a unique identifier per job. I get a picture id but they shouldn't need my SSN. It can't quite be just an opaque QR code but it could be something pretty similar.
> We (I squarely place myself in this group) kind of are pushing office workers to adjust how they do things though.

Well, sure. We're asking that our reasonable desire to work remotely be accommodated.

Some are perfectly willing to be flexible.

Others are absolutely livid that you would dare to ask them to change how they do things to accommodate anyone else in any way.

I honestly have very little sympathy for that type of person. The "everything was just fine before, just shut up and go back to how it always was" attitude completely ignores the fact that for many, many people, things were not fine before, and WFH has been a godsend for so many.

Yes. Now, there are edge-cases; in particular, things get messy when you move job and you may end up temporarily overpaying. But it works.
Yeah it's really promising. It's partially trained on that RedPajama data.
I was looking through the implementation of chat.openai.com recently and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was 100% Server Sent Events, no Websockets.

SSE is a great tool to have in your belt. I'd say it can replace the majority of use cases for Websockets out there today (basically pushing small amounts of text/JSON data to the client) with a tiny fraction of the complexity. Opening and maintaining a bidirectional TCP stream is otherwise a huge pain in the ass.
The only real hardware requirement of Willow (currently) is something based on the ESP32 S3 that has a microphone.

> But... didn't Congress pass some corrupt legislation years ago that made it illegal for the
government to set up a tax-filing Web site? What happened to this: https://www.propublica.org/article/congress-is-about-to-ban-...

Thanks for pointing this out - looking at the responses, folks blaming congress might have a point but I'm also surprised that this thread isn't directing more of the frustration to intuit and others involved in the deliberately confusingly named "free file alliance" - an industry coalition that's nominally providing a free filing option that's hidden / limited / difficult enough to use that very few people actually do despite it being free.

The answer to your question is that initially yes, it was banned as part of a mutual MOU, but it is not anymore. The rest is in here: https://www.propublica.org/article/irs-reforms-free-file-pro...

Here's more on the subject:
- This one has internal slides from intuit https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-turbotax-20-year-f...

That's not really true. Itemized deductions are a small part of this, and so are the individual tax credits. Business accounting and post-tax investment are actually the big items here, and are impossible for the IRS to do for you. I'm afraid that if you get a stock grant from your employer, that puts you beyond where the IRS can send you a pre-filled form that is correct.

Governments paying for education don't just want graduations, they want an educated workforce, because there are benefits from having that.

Instructors generally do not treat education like a business. On some level the institutions themselves often are business-like, but on the classroom level I don't think that's the case.
How? Was it Form-1099K mis-ingestion from turbotax? Or is it some other hole?
You can skip the "typing ended". You're gonna need a shortish timeout anyway, may as well just let the "typing is happening" messages all terminate by timeout.

They’re not mutually exclusive. A W-2 employee has very few ways to reduce taxes and no amount of energy or effort will change that.
That’s exactly my point. If people were cutting a check for the full about in one go, they’d have a better handle on the size of it. Likely a different opinion as well.

Having to at least see the numbers rather than blindly clicking “Yes” on a government run website is not quite there but it’s better than nothing.

Learning about those things isn't particularly relevant to learning how to use LLMs for NLP tasks.

Not saying they're not worth learning, but I think it's reasonable for them not to be included in the syllabus for that particular course.

Kind of like how learning memory management in C doesn't need to be a pre-requisite for a course on Python.

Note that learning about those things will likely make you a better LLM+NLP practitioner, in the same way that having a good grasp of memory management in C will help you be more effective at working with Python - but it's OK to leave them out of introductory courses.

As a D programmer, why haven't you caught up yet?
Checkout the Chinese Room thought experiment, in essence - you can't really prove it either way, the argument becomes what is the definition of thought. Mass-memorization to the point of passing as logic/thought may or may not count as actual thought.

I'm in the camp that until it can do arbitrary math like (23942+323432)/5 without an agent then it's not capable of thought. I'll admit it's ability to program, and that training it to code also improves it's "english/human language" logic is interesting.
The disordered Mennonite recalls Elijah's prophecy in Moby Dick

Macbeth - I'm guessing you mean the Tarot divination scene where we hear an obscured version of Glanton's fate (echoes of the three witches)?

The Iliad - It's been a while since I read this one so I'm having trouble figuring it out. There's the hermit in chapter 2 but I don't recall him making any specific prophecies other than talking about man's capacity for evil ("Make a machine. And a machine to make the machine."), nor can I make a connection to the Iliad. One vague Iliad connection I can think of is that the wind saves Tobin and the kid when they're hiding from the judge, which vaguely recalls Calchas's prophecy of a favorable wind (although that required sacrificing Iphigenia which I don't think has any parallels in the novel)
To me it has better reasoning abilities than some humans and since it doesn't have a silent voice it needs it to happen in the answer.

What animals don’t have paws or lay eggs, but have wings? please think about this step by step
ChatGPT Sure, I can help you think through this question step by step.

First, let's start with the requirement that the animal should have wings. This immediately eliminates most mammals, such as cats, dogs, and horses, as they do not have wings. Birds are the first animals that come to mind when we think of animals with wings, but there are also insects, bats, and some reptiles that have wings.

Now, let's move on to the requirement that the animal should not have paws. Paws are typically associated with mammals, so we can eliminate most mammals from consideration. However, some birds and reptiles have appendages that are similar to paws, such as talons or claws, which they use for grasping and climbing. Bats also have wings with fingers that can be used for grasping, but they are still classified as paws. Therefore, we should focus on animals that do not have grasping appendages like paws or talons.

Lastly, we need to eliminate animals that lay eggs. This eliminates most birds, as they lay eggs. However, there are still some birds that do not lay eggs, such as cuckoos and megapodes, which incubate their eggs outside of their bodies. Most insects also lay eggs, so we should focus on the remaining options.

Putting all of this together, the answer to the original question would be: bats. Bats have wings, but they do not have paws in the traditional sense, as their wings are adapted for flight rather than grasping. Additionally, bats do not lay eggs, but give birth to live young. Therefore, bats are the animals that meet all of the criteria specified in the question.
No it was Mouser. One of the few places I order electronics parts from. Digikey and Jameco did not.
Because there are no batteries that can run a country for five months.

In the Nordics, there is no PV production for five months of the year. Two months have marginal production rates.

Zero times any large number is still zero.
> We can however easily imagine what's happening in this particular case, and the data support it.

I have yet to see credible data regarding causation and I prefer that large societal decisions not be made based upon imagination. Comic books, pinball, rock n roll, violent video games at some point were all claimed to be destroying our youth and there was "data" presented to back it up.

Teen drug, alcohol, nicotine and sexual activity are significantly down since 2009. Maybe social media is causing that too and on the whole is a benefit. Or maybe teens are more depressed because they aren't getting high, drinking, smoking or screwing enough.

> Like climate change

Climate change has actual quality data and science behind it, so it is nothing alike.
> I see nothing wrong with this.

Aside from all the data collection, anyway.
Yeah modern incineration is a totally different beast with flue gas cleaning systems [1].

Before wet scrubbers [2] and some other clean air technology reached mass production - largely in the 70s iirc, because of EPA & California Air Resources Board pressure on coal power plants - incineration was a much dirtier way of disposing of trash.

so there's no need for alarmist headlines at the moment.
a) "global pandemic" was _not_ considered a low probability by epidemiologists or by governments. the US set up a pandemic office during the Obama administration for exactly this reason. partly because everybody knew climate change and globalization increased the risk of pandemics, and partly because pandemics tore through Asia and the Middle East in 2002 and 2012.

b) remote work has been making office buildings obsolete for decades now. it is fundamentally absurd to say that you need people to get together in one room in order to build a distributed system. neither office buildings nor the "open plan" spaces inside have made any real logical sense for the tech industry in a very, very long time.

In my university it's similar, not math as in Calculus, but very theory-heavy courses with math-heavy notation and proof-based exercises.

Still, most people once they get into the industry do really well, I think learning to code in your first job is easy, learning more formal topics by yourself or in the industry is hard. At the end it pays off.

Also remember Computer Science is not necessary about programming, it's about much more, there is a clear distinction in my country between Computer Science and Engineering here.
I was thinking that the current chatbot showdown reminds me of the time before Google won the search wars.

There were sites like this that had several search engines side by side in frames so you could compare the results returned from all of them at once.

Will be really interesting to see how all of this plays out.
Yeah, I agree. My language has both maybe<T> and result<T>, and maybe<T> is exceptionally convenient for all sorts of things. As an example, the result of division is a maybe<double> and I have all the typical operations defined between maybe<double> and double so maybe<double> + double is a maybe<double>. It feels nice to force people to think about the edge conditions of why something isn't present.
What language? What are the parameters for the random function here (seed? upper range value in a uniform distribution? stddev for a random distribution?) Why? What is this demonstrating?

I can grok a lot of the dimensional effects of randomness but without these things specified, the picture is rather meaningless to me.
It's just wishful thinking. The way the industry is, if you won't do the job, your boss will just find someone else who will. And they'll probably be paid lower too.
