> Even though it is expensive/slow for a consumer to figure out how to use data, it is even more expensive/slow to have producers try to continuously anticipate the needs of all possible current and future consumers, rather than focus on their system and have actual consumers figure out how to use the subset of data they need as it changes.

I agree completely on the speed impact but I would go further and say this is basically impossible. I have worked on data everywhere from small to massive enterprises and the only model I have ever see work at a large enterprise is for source systems to just produce data in a raw-ish format that comes out of their system and leave it to the people who need to consume that data to figure out how to massage it into whatever format they need.

The reasons I think it's not possible for upstream to anticipate are:

1) Analytic usecases multiply as systems do and as users start consuming data. As soon as you start using data to address problems in the org, you see more and more questions you would like to use data to address. There is no way for a producer system to forsee all the possible analytic questions people would like to answer using their data, especially as data analysis is a creative endeavour and peoples' imagination is pretty amazing (especially taken collectively).

2) As data sources multiply, the analytical possibilities of combining these data sources explode quadratically. There is no way for any single upstream system to anticipate how this will go.

What upstream systems need to do is produce all the data they can from their system and let users do what they do when combining. You can make some sensible guidelines available (eg "document what the columns mean", "keep up to date estimates of volumes to expect", "have a data sample/staging system/test instance for people to integrate against", "put your goddam timestamps into UTC wherever possible" etc) that aren't too onerous for upstream maintainers to follow if they want to be good citizens.
Even as someone that’s generally pretty libertarian, this is an area that I hope gets regulated quickly. A person needs to have the right to know if they’re talking to a real person or an AI system.

> Orbital is the query engine

So I searched and

https://github.com/orbitalapi/orbital says to use https://hub.docker.com/r/orbitalhq/orbital which has no README

It also says "This repository will contain our open source code, along with issues, discussions and roadmap.", is there an ETA for source code release?

Will the Java application in that docker container be open sourced?
part of this is that since renewable is free to run while fossil fuel isn't, renewable mostly runs at 100% availability with fossil fuel making up the gaps.
Jack and Jill are sitting next to each other in a room. There is no one else in the room. The person sitting next to Jack is sad. The person sitting next to Jill is angry. Who is sad, Jack or Jill?

ChatGPT
Since Jack and Jill are the only two people in the room and they are sitting next to each other, the person sitting next to Jack is Jill and the person sitting next to Jill is Jack. Given the conditions you provided:

Jill is the one who is sad because she is sitting next to Jack.
Jack is the one who is angry because he is sitting next to Jill.
"AI" (LLM) hype is so great, people are faulting it for not solving issues they overlook. Which means the solution isn't in the data that it's trained on.

Most people don't want to hire an employee that is competent. That alone is the truth. They value other non-technical factors highly, even when those factors might negatively affect performance.

As I learnt from a senior developer, the best developers are the people who have horrible impostor syndrome and constantly downplay their own abilities. These guys usually turn out to be geniuses, no matter where they've been (or haven't been) employed before.

Plus, when selecting for teamwork, instead of following the usual dogma, it's always better to hire someone that's been though shit rather than hiring someone who's always been cushy. People that have been through the ringer know how to cooperate well and even better, know why such a thing is necessary in the first place. The other kind of people usually are horrible backstabbers. Yes, they've had extensive corporate experience, that's usually not a good sign.
We had pinball machines at my last job, and it was the first time I’d ever realized that there were goals to achieve and modes you could intentionally get the machine into. It suddenly became a lot more fun.
Her father was an executive at Enron, so I’m sure she’s familiar with corporate accountability.
It's given me a place to understand problems I might not have otherwise solved or been aware of.

It's a bit like being given a piece of paper to solve math problems, instead of trying to do it all in your head.

I have hated Max/MSP for at least the last 15 years. Designed for 'institutionalized academic music' made me chuckle.

Autechre's Confield album is what it is good at doing. There is nothing more to do with the software after that album.
I feel like using Graal for the comparison is cheating a bit because it's so fundamentally different from what bun is doing. You need to compare it to tools that ship class files and a JVM, or something like PyInstaller which will have much much more overhead.
If the number isn’t in service why not try signing up with some pbx and getting that number shouldn’t cost more than $30. If you truly believe you have some btc locked away there that’s a small price to pay to get it back.

To avoid gaming the system, make the company pay the current MAXIMUM salary for the same position or greater to the worker AND double the normal taxes AND have the government's IRS and Labor related departments review the description and actual duties of the job on a quarterly basis.

That is, hiring someone from outside the country SHOULD cost more so it isn't gamed.
Of all the gambling establishments, accessible to the public anyway, pachinko has been the most disturbing to me. Pachinko halls are assaults on the senses, cigarrette smoke engulfs you as you enter, while an unintelligible cacophony of noise pierces your brain. You have to yell to be heard, and none of the noise is useful, so loud it somehow distorts your hearing. Should you sit down, there is nothing to see but your machine and thousands of blinking lights around you. Your senses are essentially stripped from you and the only way to achieve joy from that position is to pull the lever or leave. That anyone would bear such an environment to gamble tells you just how much of a grip gambling can take on someone.
You can test soft skills. Evaluations don't need to be objective, they just need to be consistent.
Ah ok, I'm primarily using the API already. One interesting thing is that the GPT-3.5 "product" is much faster, but looks to be using a different model in the request, their encoding model iirc. I wonder if they are now using embeddings to cache results to reduce load on the real models when they can?

Maybe Elizabeth Holmes, that specific person, still would; but there would definitely be less con artists around. Currently being a con artist must have the highest reward/risk ratio among all professions.
> in America at almost 0 cost to them to keep it active, the NY subway system 100% would have stolen my money.

MetroCards expire every 12 months, but every MVM in the city (and every subway station has 2-50 of them) will take an expired one and exchange it for an active one for free. My understanding of the expiry window is that it's meant to correspond roughly to how long a MetroCard survives in a wallet, not to steal your money.

(None of this will matter in a few years anyways, the replacement system integrates with existing contactless payment systems.)
Yeah, honestly, like a lot of cases like Holmes, for me the worst part is not the fraud, it's the complete willingness to completely ruin anyone that gets in her way that makes her so diabolical. The book Bad Blood makes it pretty clear how she pretty much threatened to destroy anyone that did the simple act of telling the truth. Her subsequent disregard for patients, Sonny as you put it, and heck her 2 kids in my opinion show how much she just does not care about other people.
I would hire that person based on the reasons I gave before. Not being able to perform to your standards in the space you allowed doesn't mean that person is a fraud or that the person couldn't do the job. You were biased by your own test. You thought you were measuring how good a programmer someone was when in reality you were testing how good your test was.
We need an equivalent Python Mojo for TypeScript.

This seems like the most obvious thing yet to be built.

I wonder how hard it would be to take an existing systems language and add TS syntax to it. Seeing as they are all built on LLVM. Or maybe you could transpile TS to Zig.
You know, the most dystopian thing isn't that a woman became rich by making fake medical test machines. It's that she was prosecuted for screwing over other rich people, not the negligent murder of an unknown number of poor people due to deliberately faked medical tests.
regarding her victims. She has only been convicted for defrauding powerful investors like Shultz, Murdoch, Kissinger, etc. who failed to do due diligence.

She has not been convicted for defrauding customers/patients or her employees.

This fella doesn’t even understand that different roles and line of works will have different characteristics, I can be an offshore oil drilling engineer who spends 6months on duty and 6months off, or a university instructor who spends few hours teaching a week while rest researching on my couch, some other person is doing their work flying while others most of their time are in the data centers, and the list goes on, some can do their jobs remotely and some can’t, that’s how work, works!

Sometimes I wonder how he’s even wealthy with such a low IQ indicators..
The 'why' does not matter, real property rights should not be given up for the sake of completely speculative societal gain. Besides, the incentive to create medicine will always existed as long as people get sick, independent of whether you can exercise monopoly, it's not like Ibn Sina's medical manuals came about thanks to any notion of copyright, the dude was literally just rich and bored enough to do it.

Unfortunately these frauds and con artists are like weeds. Remove one and 3 more sprout in its place (ie, former CEO of WeWork, Neumann)

In most cases the perpetrators do not even get jail time. Pay a fine and move on.
Do people in her position actually get away with it, or is that more of a not quite true narrative thing?
Maybe. Maybe not. We obviously can't predict individual cases, but in general the entire Silicon Valley "fake it till you make it" ethos was definitely responsible for how her life turned out. And I'm sure the Theranos case has directly led to at least some investors doing more due diligence and holding their founders more responsible for results (though sadly still not close to enough).

I think they try to focus on the facts but sometimes the facts have a liberal bias.
Isn’t that the same thing? The non-fine-tuned models also have assumptions based on corpus and training. I don’t think there’s such a thing as a purely objective probability of the next token.
> You know, the kinda people we wanna “disrupt”?

Speak for yourself. I don't want to disrupt anyone by explicitly not following laws i don't like.

If you were to complain about the anti circumvention clause in DMCA, or Nintendo going after the guy who sold mods under that (somebody got jail time), then I think that stuff is not justified. But i wouldn't personally sell software i have no right to distribute on Amazon.
I used a competing product due to work restrictions and it feels like it _could_ be really useful but in practice mostly was just helpful for banging out really repetitive tests. I think Copilot is probably more robust though.
I watched a video a little while back with a Pinball champion playing Creature of the Black Lagoon, and in his instructions hitting the side of the table to knock the ball some ways was part of his normal play through, even though it potentially risked a tilt.
> cramming a bunch of new stuff

That's kind of how Microsoft works in general. Their products expand to have as many features as they can cram in. Word and Excel are probably the quintessential examples, where only a tiny fraction of users care about a feature, but they are passionate about it.
I love this. Also, in my experience doing the same thing with recipes from pancakes to roast chicken, I think it’s not just about kaizen—it’s also about the “tacit knowledge” that can’t necessarily be communicated through words.

I definitely wasn’t doing it 2% better each time — I was experimenting, trying out new things, seeing how they changed the outcomes, and building an intuition for how stiff the pancake batter was, what color it was, how much the chicken skin glistens, etc. When I tried something new, sometimes it was 2% better, but more often it was 25% better or 40% worse. Either way a success, because I learned what kinds of things were likely to work and what weren’t.

The “reps” help you not just get better, but (as you describe!) they build your mental connections between what you see, smell, and feel, and results. You start to recognize when things look or feel a little different, and adapt.

Honestly it’s a lot like developing expertise in programming!
Why does Intel need Arm for collaboration, and what does Arm get out of optimizing "Arm’s IP for Intel’s upcoming 18A process technology?" Why doesn't Intel license Arm designs like anyone else, and optimize it themselves? I also don't quite get why Intel doesn't just design their own competing high efficiency architecture, after abandoning x86 and backwards compatibility, of course, something they should have done two decades ago at least.

google includes more crap most people won't use, making the OS interface have more crap to go through to find your thing.

here in the real world, if you want your phone to be a dashcam, you've been able to do that with an app for over a decade.

what we need is the phone to natively convert between british, us, and metric, specifically for paprika measurements during the cooking of various dishes. google should put those conversions in the first top-swipe. if you swipe again, then you see notifications. if you swipe a third time, it'll tell you that you've turned your data off, and give you an option to turn it back on. forth time swipe you'll be able to adjust brightness.
thanks as always Dan!
No it isn’t. Even before transformers people were doing cool things with LSTMs and RNNs before that. People following this space haven’t really been surprised by any of these advancements. It’s a straight forward path imo
Enron wasn't just a one-in-a-thousand exception, it was a one-in-a-million exception. You have to go back to the early 20th century to find another case of the government coming down this hard on a large company, and it certainly hasn't happened again since.

The standard process for many decades now is that a company caught committing crimes pays a certain amount of money (nowhere near enough to threaten its existence in any way), and then can continue operating essentially as before.
Anyone have a link to the post the author referenced here? "A couple of weeks ago, someone else <posted> his desire to help code Xnet, and he included his vision of the direction it should go" (emphasis added)

The way this story was presented makes me curious to see the dialog (if there was any) between the author and the guy who offered to help.
Why use a web browser? Or even a web server? Opening up rcp so users could download it and view it locally would be much simpler.

Of course, some people might want additional functionality, and to facilitate that functionality, we have many technological tools at our disposal which make the process of implementing that functionality simpler than not using them. What you deem to be simple enough without being too simple is based on your use case and preferences.
Ok, so just to confirm out of your 4 scenarios, you don't include:

5) There are advanced AGIs, and they will compete with each other and trample us in the process.

6) There are advanced AGIs, and they will cooperate with each other and we are at their mercy.

It seems like you are putting a lot of weight on advanced AGI being either impossible or far enough off that it's not worth thinking about. If that's the case, then yes we should calm down. But if you're wrong...

I don't think that the fact that no one knows anything is comforting. I think it's a sign that we need to be thinking really hard about what's coming up and try to avert the bad scenarios. To do otherwise is to fall prey to the "Safe uncertainty" fallacy.
A travel card that uses Visa Infinite is your best bet here. I have the Capital One Venture X and one of my prime use cases for it (aside from travel upgrades and points transfer) is electronics purchases.
Part of it is the nostalgia aspect but I think more so, they have finally figured out a sustainable business model: become a bar.

I’m not sure whether it took them so long to figure out the model, or whether society just had to wait for the first gamer generations to grow old enough to a) drink and b) become a little jaded with modern video games, so that nostalgia for the arcade classics would kick in.

I think part of it is also the hobbyist factor talked about in sibling comments. The first arcade owners were business owners, not hobbyists. They were not kids when the first arcade machines were coming out, they were just in it for the money.

Hobbyists and other nostalgia-driven folks feel very differently about these games. They take care of them and they enjoy talking to the customers about the games. The customers are older too, so they’re not like the little kids who used to beat the crap out of the machines. Everything about it is much better off.

Funny thing is, officially pachinko is not gambling, people just happen to exchange the gained goods for money at unmarked counters afterwards, wink wink nudge style.

I'd argue micropayment games should also fall into that grey area, same as the trading cards markets.

Of course many players (pachinko included) don't see it as gambling and more as a very expensive hobby, in that they effectively expect no return on the money.
One thing that I think is very interesting, which is highlighted in this other article https://apnews.com/article/chatgpt-openai-ceo-sam-altman-con... , is that Mr. Altman warns that we are on the verge of very troubling A.I. Escape scenarios. He specifically said that there should be a ban on A.I. that can "self-replicate and self-exfiltrate into the wild". The fact that he thinks that such a thing could happen in the near future is f**ing terrifying. That would be the first step in A.I. escaping human control and posing a grave threat to our species' survival.
I just don’t see how it’s going to be significantly worse than existing troll farms etc. This prediction appears significantly overblown to me.
Is the machine is connected to the PC and then the PC to the internet?

I'm guessing the PC is running Windows - what version?

Anyway, the first step might be to install WireShark on the PC and look at what sort outgoing message is being sent. And whether anything is coming back from 3M, or just no response. Would you be in the position to place a Linux system with 2 NICs into the connection, so that various forms of spoofing could be attempted?

Of course, the biggest problem is that the snooping would have been best done back when the connection to 3M was working and you were able to upload to the PC.

Looking at the data plan descriptions, I suspect that the scanned data was transformed by servers hosted by 3M and not by the PC. Of course, that is my guess. At $200 / mth, 3M could be expected to perform some sort of on-going service.

BTW the brochure shows the price as $17,000 but you said it cost $30,000. Perhaps you are including the cost of the data plans. As I see it, 3M planned on the machine having an 8 year life. As a business the machine was expected to be amortized 12.5% p.a. with an OPEX of $2400 p.a. Good value considering how much dentists charge.
A24 is such a great studio. Seeing their logo is almost like the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" from back in the day - if it's at the front of a trailer, I know I'll probably be interested.
Very happy that they did. They offer a diverse array of movies (some great, some terrible) that are a breath of fresh air when compared to the typical Hollywood blockbusters. (Different audience, sure, but definitely less formulaic).
He already has precedent with OpenAI and pivoting from Open to fully Close overnight once the tech kind of worked. We know the guy is a piece of work, let’s not give him any benefit of doubt.
95% of HN comments are unsubstantive, so that was never the actual rule applied. It's probably -

"Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community."

Saying it's unsubstantive is nicer.

It was a substantive comment. It made a statement of fact that contradicted the articles title.

That allowed someone to reply with another substantive fact "Bitcoin addresses hasn't grown for 2 years" with link

Which I would not agree is exactly a correct summary of the data, but it's worth looking at and has create a thread far better than most of the others - https://studio.glassnode.com/metrics?a=BTC&m=addresses.Activ...
> why do you think it is justified

Because by "allowed to" what it means is "to be able to do so, without suffering significant negative consequences."

So, that would be the definition of "allowed to" that is being referred to, which is both true and justified.
The article lists a couple of caveats already, but to me the real hurdle is the lack of a proper alternative to Docker Compose.
Shouldn't the title be "How A24 took over Hollywood"?
