AMD got rid of much of the older baggage when they designed 64-bit mode. There's a 32-bit segmented mode with call gates and rings nobody uses. That was dropped for 64-bit mode, but it's still there in 32 bit mode in shipping processors.

Intel has been burned in the past, though. The Pentium Pro (1995), the first good superscalar microprocessor, was a 32-bit machine that could also run 16-bit code.
Intel thought 16-bit was on the way out, so the 16-bit hardware was not fast. Unfortunately for Intel, Microsoft Windows users were still running too much 16-bit code. It ran Windows NT fine; Windows 95, not so much. As a result, the Pentium Pro did not sell well. Intel had to come out with the Pentium II (1997), which was similar to the Pentium Pro but had better 16-bit performance.
I mean the laziest way to control a house is to add plugs to change every electrical plug to an on/off controllable one. This would make every incandescent bulb a smart bulb.
Google has been unusable for some years. Limited results, capped searches… such a difference with the original Google, it’s just a ghost of what it used to be.

I’m definitely going to give Kagi a try, I hope you are not restricting results by politics or so.

I’m paying for Chat gpt at the moment but I still need to just search and not to be spoon fed curated results all the time… the moment they include payed advertisement in gpt results is going to feel like
browsing in the Truman show.

But why did we put the camera there? Not because we enjoy spending money on cameras, but because we had a problem there already.
I don’t think OP is asking why the pharmaceutical drugs took so long to come along. I think he’s asking why there weren’t traditional medicine solutions for ED before pharmaceutical.

I think the answer is that traditionally people were in better physical shape and more active - a huge amount of ED is caused by being out of shape, overweight, high blood pressure, etc. ED is the canary in the coal mine for a lot of physical (and mental) issues. On the mental side, I suspect people were traditionally less anxious than our modern society has made us.
This is a valid point, but the “correct” behavior in that instance should be to communicate the constraint, instead of claiming that it would be followed. This is certainly more innocuous than most confident BS-ing that these models do, but it’s still an instance of it. In the analogy, it’d be like standing in front of the car and having it stop, but still tell the passengers that it’s moving at 60mph. The constraint itself isn’t the problem
Why can't they acquire it?
Thanks! That is part of the challenge as this idea scales imo - once you've increased the number of plugins or "levers" available to the model, you start to increase the likelihood that it will pull some of them indiscriminately.

To your point about turning random commands into API calls: if you give it the raw JSON from a Philips Hue bridge and ask it to manipulate it in response to commands, it can even do oddly specific things like triggering Hue-specific lighting effects [0] without any description in the plugin yaml. I'm assuming some part of the corpus contains info about the Hue API.

Anecdotally, after the first wave of excitement I don’t know anyone who still uses Bing chat. The value add in chat-augmented search isn’t huge IMO, and forcing the use of Edge doesn’t help.

I would agree that the first case could be construed as abuse, but this type of abuse is relatively common to some degree.

My point was more to illustrate the fact that cognitive development and personality impact how people experience the world, and is probably the biggest factor in what we consider depression.

The point is to show how trivial it would be to bias humans towards depression and thereby illustrate the importance of the psychological component.

I don't think that you can teach kids in a way that's 100% successful, but I still think it is a huge Factor, probably then the biggest. There's vast amount of data that backs this up.

When it comes to my statement about expectations, it is obviously more nuanced. What I meant is low expectations for how easy life will be in that they will have to overcome challenge and that a happy and successful life requires work. Also low expectations for the material necessity is to have a happy life. I look around today and see lots of peers who think they can't be happy without owning a home. Owning a home is admittedly more difficult now than in the past, but even then something like 40% of people would never be homeowners in their life. If that's a prerequisite for happiness, you have doomed 40% of the population to be unhappy
Can you explain the reputation system a bit more? Is all content in freenet public or how would you know that someone posted certain content? How are they punished for it? Do other users actively have to "down vote" them to reduce their reputation or is there an entity which can influence reputation? Is there are single global reputation system or is it more local?

That still seems kind of odd. At 10 person team, assuming ~$250k annual cost per employee, should have a runway of 4 years. Something else must have happened (ex. dramatic pivot; profligate spending early on) to necessitate layoffs right now.
By "very young", I'm talking about industry that is still figuring out the right direction. Monoplanes made biplanes obsolete, no matter how perfectly the biplane's wing was designed. That kind of dramatic and rapid change tends to happen during the infancy of an industry.

See the early shifts from vacuum tubes to semiconductors, from expertly-crafted BJT to crude CMOS, or the rapid march of good-enough architectures in the latest process node clobbering beautiful architectures in older nodes. As the industry has matured and course has stabilized, perfecting the design has grown in importance.
Maybe for others, but I find them a huge annoyance, to the point that I am willingly paying Neeva, and looking for a new paid search engine.

There’s no compulsion, but people tend to nerd out in the specialty and lose their way. It’s hard to be the respected engineer in <pick a topic> and start over as a newb. Many of the folks in these fields get caught in a visa trap as well that makes the friction that much stronger.

One of my classmates in high school was a well regarded engineer that specialized in some sort of critical manufacturing process. Published papers, had patents, etc. Unfortunately, a new tech replaced that process, and he found himself laid off and kinda screwed.

He had a good network, crammed for a PMP and got into the project management racket and went back to school. Now he does cyber analysis stuff.

I have been using chat GPT to control my light colours for about a month now. It's too tedious to properly set the colours and temperatures of our lights manually and too complex to consider all factors like activity, weather, music, time of day and season.

Chat GPT is now our personal lighting DJ, giving us dynamic and interesting light combinations that respect our circadian rhythm.

Here's my prompt - the output of which feeds Home Assistant:

Set the hue for my home's lights using the HSL/HSB scale from 0-360 by providing a primary and complementary colour which considers the current situation. The HSL color spectrum ranges from 0 (red), 120 (green), to 240 (blue) and back to 360 (red). Lower values (0-60) represent warmer colors, while higher values (180-240) represent cooler colors. Middle values (60-180) are neutral.

Consider these factors in setting the primary hue (in order of importance):

1. Preferences throughout the day:
- When about to wake: Reds, oranges or hot pinks
- Approaching bedtime: Hot pinks or reds
- During worktime: Blues, greens or yellows
- Other times: Greens, yellows or oranges

2. Current activity: Bedtime

3. Sleep schedule: Bedtime 23:00, Wake-up time 07:00

4. Date & time: Sunday May 21, 05:40

5. Current primary hue: 10

6. Current complementary hue: 190

7. Weather: 13°C, wind speed 9 km/h, autumn

Respond in this format and provide a reason in <250 characters:

{"primary_hue": PRIMARY_HUE, "complementary_hue: COMPLEMENTARY_HUE, "reason": REASON }

The output looks like this:

{primary_hue: 10
complementary_hue: 190
reason: "Approaching bedtime and early hours of morning, so a warm and calming hue is needed. Complementary hue adjusted slightly to 195 to maintain balance."}

> The Pentium Pro (1995), the first good superscalar microprocessor …

I thought the i960CA was good.
The last project I worked on, the build took around 20 minutes.

The project before that the build took around 8 minutes.

In both cases I felt it was more how the build was set up rather than something that was inherent to Java. (The 20 minute build was a Spring/Groovy project, the 8 minute one was a Java Swing application.)

This is where using TDD really shined. Modifying the code and running a test took seconds instead.

Sadly I was always one of the few who used this approach. Even seniors would spend days or even an entire sprint doing something that would take me less than a day.
I think switching to GPT-4 I managed to get it to learn by playing itself, and helping out and explaining when that went wrong. I did hit the usage cap though.

Regarding leaving stuff out. I'm really not. My only concern here is getting my wife well, and she absolutely had none of these symptoms previously, or any hint of them, and whilst I haven't described every individual visit to ER in detail, they all follow the same pattern as recounted. We've just had the first round of specialists, and I don't have a very high opinion of her PCP, but now that we have the specialists, I'm more hopeful that something might get done.

None of the doctors involved told us about the dangers of raising Sodium quickly. The neurologist agreed that it might be and put my wife on Prednisone/something-to-help-her-stomach after our first visit. It was actually my boss' wife (she's a doctor) that mentioned ODS to him and hence to us. FWIW, work has been outstandingly supportive over the last couple of months, the only real shining light.

The MRI doesn't seem to support ODS though, but I personally think it's too much of a coincidence that she responded so poorly, and then symptoms very similar to it emerged later. It might not be ODS, but something happened. She had none of these symptoms before going in.

As for why she had hyponatremia, she had diarrhoea the week previously, and the hospital put it down to that. We had no idea her sodium was low - as I said we went in for something unrelated (that turned out to be benign).

The PCP put her on Ativan, right up until she said "I don't feel comfortable prescribing this any more, so I'm not going to". Cue the argument about withdrawal and the PCP saying she'd talk to the neurologist and see if the neurologist would take over. I get the feeling the PCP is very much a "fair weather" doctor - fine for when things are fine...

The neurologist has changed away from Ativan to another benzo, but has also prescribed mirtazapine as a more long-term solution. We have another visit with her scheduled at the end of the month.

I think it's simpler than that. Semiconductor manufacturing is such an advanced field, and there are so few openings for engineers, that they can be very selective in who they hire. We don't need to conclude that semiconductor engineering is particularly difficult, it's sufficient to conclude that they are simply picking people who will work lots of unpaid overtime, simply for the thrill of working in such a cutting-edge field.

Indeed, they are purportedly in talks with Snowflake. If only they could keep the lights on and use the enterprise partnership as a subsidy.
Let me have a stab at this:

We will be at the end of the AI hype cycle we are currently in. Majority of AI/search startups that exist today will no longer be around, failing to find a viable business model that has a hope of profitability, as stuffing ads inside will put them in direct trajectory of Google/Microsoft's insane resources.

Google and Microsoft situation will be much better defined. One of these companies will discover that being a platform open to developers is a strategic advantage. Ad-supported search as a model will fail to find ground in AI answers. Both companies will inject so many ads in AI chat answers to pay for the bills, that AI answers will become so intelligence insulting that even users who previously didn't mind ads (or had ways to block them) will finally start looking for ad-free search alternatives. Some ad-supported results will start having 'for entertainment purposes only' label as they will start to carry unwanted liability otherwise.

This will finally allow large scale prolifiration of a new breed of search products offering search experiences made for users instead of advertisers. Paying for search will become much more common and we will be slowly exiting the 25 years Matrix-like coma situation we are currently held in, where the expectation for the most valuable and intimate thing we do online (search and browsing) is to be free, while we accept to surrender our private information, time and attention in return.

The alignment of incentives in combination with enough resources and the newest techonlgoies will finally allow for truly amazing innovation in search, changing the way we consume information forever.

At the same time, we will start to see signs of the first public search engines (goverment subsidized), inheriting the role that public libraries had for centuries, as access to information will be deemed as a fundamental human right.

So when I think about Kagi's trajectory, it is surviving the next two years and keeping on innovating that matters. The business model is already sound and future-proof (the price will come down too).
Talking to it... I get. It is a chat bot. Using the second person, imperative language... Sure. Fully grown tech savvy people expecting it to follow detailed and nuanced instructions? That's pure comedy fodder I guess.
I feel you! When I complained a couple of weeks ago about a high-profile chat app, that is "free" and had no business model, I got downvoted.

We like to point the finger at facebook, but we turn around and are happy to use other "free" products.

If you're not paying, you're the product.

> MCUs and cyber-physical systems was like this until the Arduino happened

I'd say it technically happened when cheap flash based microcontrollers become available.

Before you had to have *at the very least* EPROM programmer and eraser (or CRT TV I guess) to even put your code onto microcontroller. Flash based microcontrollers meant all you needed is parallel port and some wires to start programming microcontrollers, dropping the barrier to entry by orders of magnitude if you already had PC to program.

Then we had first wave with Basic STAMP and similar making it even easier.

Then it was Arduino that exploded it and there were other factors on that too.

>So what needs to happen to make this a reality for semi-con? First off, we need cheap, cheap fabrication. I actually looked at public funding in Canada and how that was going to the big name Universities who had their own in-house fab labs (at older process nodes). The costs of someone not in the inside was nuts. The actual cost should be in the 100s of dollars to fabricate a design (considering the marginal costs).

Like that. Before making PCB was either doing it at home that took a bunch of time and not everyone wanted to play with chemicals, or expensive to prototype PCB.

Now we have extremely cheap low volume PCBs and even well priced low volume manufacturing options. Same thing with 3D printing, went from massively expensive to affordable.

The problem really is that it's still a bit profitable to do so for companies doing it, while doing same for chip-making would be oh so much harder unless someone put some SERIOUS R&D into making "industrial chip printer" where each wafer could have different set of chips (packaging I guess could be handled by requiring each submitted chip to have connectors in same place). So no mask but some kind of DLP or similar projector to do lithography (dunno if that even possible for anything in hundreds of nm range, just guessing)
Premature scaling, then.

While reading this, it got me wondering about proper pronoun usage for past-tense. AFAIK, Wendy was Walter when Switched On Bach was released, so is it proper to say "his" work, or "her" work?

Yes the immediate effects last for a few hours. I didn’t say otherwise. The current scientific literature paints a mixed picture of ketamine. While it can stimulate neurogenesis, there is a definite potential for neurotoxicity. Not to mention that there are no long term studies out there.
There are countless people reporting being anhedonic after treatments.

No, it is anarcho capitalism as it comprised all the elements of capitalism without any "state" like hierarchy. As the video explains, Habbo dropped all of its moderators in favor of a slur censoring AI, so there was effectively no regulation in place except for slurs.

Restrictions on gambling only came later on, and that's when it possibly stopped being anarcho-capitalism.
A HTTP benchmarking and data generation tool
Few weeks back, I ran into some serious hurdles trying to make sure the backend was up and performing at its best.

Throughout the process, I found myself switching between various tools like Postman, JMeter, Autocannon, and eventually k6. However, I soon realized that none of those tools really hit the spot. I still had to mess around with scripting, tweaking, and generating fake data for each request which turned out to be a total headache.

So, I came up with a tool that makes everything super simple. All you gotta do is give it a sample request, and it handles the load testing and data generation at the same time.

There is no need for scripting, tweaking, data generation, or additional unnecessary clicks. Everything is taken care of for you.

Can't wait for your feedback.
