I bought one. I'm a hobbyist that's been using Ableton in a hobbyist manner since 2005 or so.

As a software developer that works remotely, I have extremely limited desire to sit in front of my computer when work is over, and thus I end up using my music gear (which is unfortunately all crammed in my home office) much less than I'd like to. The appeal of a product like this is that I can take it into a different room and scratch the music production itch when I have it without feeling like I'm sitting at my work office all day.

> The same could be said for teen drinking, smoking, casual sex, and drug use.

There are things that have been shown to have an effect on teen drinking, smoking, casual sex, and drug use. And things that have not.

Parents forbidding it is definitely not in the effective category.

It is wild to me that the GP's analysis of what might be done begins and ends at "we've run programs asking parents to forbid social media use, and they just can't be bothered to!"

I don't see how Spectre or hardware address spaces are relevant here. WASM code cannot access memory that is not explicitly provided to the sandbox, by design. Each load/store opcode is bounds-checked by the WASM engine to ensure that. Wouldn't be much of a sandbox, otherwise.

Generative grammar is extremely nativist. The truth is, people will learn anything society forces them to learn. In Piraha society nobody is forced to learn recursion and consequently nobody thinks recursively or in numbers.

The global languages of A.D. 2023 (English, French, etc...) are probably stuck in a similar "Chomsky tarpit" as Piraha, but because we're so globalized and together nobody is brave enough to look out of this tarpit.

I am constructing a conlang codename LXX (because it has 70 phonemes, 15 vowels and 55 consonants, but they were carefully chosen to be learnable to pronounce unlike Ithkuil) for the purpose of getting at least one human society out of this tarpit.
Apple has always been a consumer product-focused company. Even if computing continues to become more invisible and omnipresent, even if we no longer use laptops and phones, there will still be some kind of physical "product" at the end of the day, and thats where Apple will continue to exist. For LLMs, I don't see Apple opening up a general-purpose LLM or search engine like ChatGPT or Bing, its difficult to differentiate themselves in a meaningful way. I can see them developing a unique "personality" to Siri and integrating its behavior into existing devices and APIs. There's still a lot of room between where we are now and a personal AI-buddy like in "Her", so I imagine Apple is at least interested in moving in that direction.

Good that you brought this argument. It is a very thorny issue; we are talking about the equality of states versus the equality of citizens.

I for one support the supranational democracy element and not the intergovernmental one. For all things related to civil rights, including privacy and other things, the good things have always come from the supranational level, whereas the intergovernmental arrangement has always watered things down (or worse). The rot traces to the Lisbon Treaty.

It is a schizophrenic system: high-level politicians (ministers) are deciding things at the EU-level and then coming back to their national constituencies saying that "Brussels did it".
I should note that Forbes is probably the traditional media outlet that has been most willing to mix advertising and editorial in questionable ways. It has gotten better about its approach in recent years, but it is certainly not perfect.

Haha, mine was within a couple years of your story, even. I wonder if that still happens—kids pick up some light computer skills, accidentally end up with a tech career and find it hard to leave because everything else pays a ton worse and/or requires extensive, expensive re-training—or if that was just a span of a few years we both happened to be the right (or wrong...) ages for.
I was specifically comparing it to other forms of broadcast em radiation, obviously an E2E encrypted signal conversation will allow you to say more, but both the audience and stage are far smaller.

Specifically, in the “wild west” hours (10-6) many AM stations will open up the phone lines to start an open dialogue with anyone who cares to join in, regarding just about anything they care to discuss. The types of people that call in and the topics they bring up are often very different from what you encounter online, and certainly miles away from what you’ll see on network television or any other form of mass media.

What makes me most excited about this is that it uses LLMs in a way that the result (a computer program) is still understandable and editable (hackable).

Instead of having an AI model output some kind of "black-box conclusion" on a data set / question, it can output code that we can inspect, improve, and learn from. Using LLMs in this way still keeps us as users "in control" - and I think it's a promising path for responsible AI.

I've done some experiments[1] adding ChatGPT-like functionality to my open source Typescript Notebook environment[2] back in december, and hope to revisit this soon :)

True, but Apple still controls what web engine you use on iOS and what extensions you can install there.
There's so much more detail you can go into in this stuff.

Before the Model T assembly line in 1916, most manufacturers did something like 6 or 7 coats by hand because it was such thin, slow drying varnish. And to get that nice shiny enamel surface we are used to with hand brushes, they had to alternate the direction of the brushstrokes between every coat as well as sand it. In addition to time, this is a huge QC issue.

Part of the magic of the all-black Model T is that you can just dip parts that can be dipped, Japan parts that can be Japanned, and pour paint on parts that cannot. At final assembly they will all be matched up together without any mismatching paint jobs.

And we cannot understate how magical the introduction of asphaltum and naptha were to the paints. This was still pretty new technology then and the precursor to our modern petrochemical derived paints and even plastics. You could get thicker coats that dried faster. So paint could just be poured on and the surface tension would smooth the surface perfectly. And they were more durable because they produced a more flexible coat.

One of the innovations of the Dodge Brothers (that Ford later copied) was that by using more metal body components, not only do you save on labor (working with wood is much more skilled than running a metal press) but that metal can withstand the much faster oven-baked finishes.
I wouldn’t immediately go as far as to consider lawyers humans.
People who have been to Fort Collins know that that city needs a _lot_ of infrastructure work to become anything more than it is now. FC already bulges under the pressure of college move-in/out and tourism there is fairly big for Coloradans. I also don't think residents are the kinds that would go for large expansion. Denver still has more than enough room to grow before they push out into the smaller towns, and if they did Boulder would go first since it already has a startup ecosystem IMO.

> Wages stagnated since 1980

Not sure how you're defining "stagnated", but Real Weekly Wages have continuously gone up since 1980: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q

> Rents doubling every decade.

Nope, the average increase per decade is 42%, not 100%: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUUR0000SEHA

> 30% credit card interest

Nope, the latest rate is ~20%, and that only comes into play if you don't pay your credit card bill in full, and I'm not about to get into the topic of financial responsibility: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TERMCBCCALLNS

> Delaying childbirth to make rent until it's too late.

"In 1960, the group of women with the largest share of first births was 20 to 24 years old (43%).

In 2018, first births among women occurred most often between ages 25 to 29 (29%)."

25 to 29 is nowhere near "too late".

In the beginning of the post you mention that you need to collect updates from all delta layers until you hit an image layer. Does that mean you have to make a O(log n) query once again every time you hit a delta layer? Is that a slowdown?
pub/sub is NOT a natural fit for robotics - you want bounded timing and generally for error-handling you want to know what happened as a result of a message being published. ROS introduced "commands" and "actions" to attempt to work around this, but its all just shit piled on shit.

Just make a multi-threaded app, and call functions. If you need to distribute over multiple CPUs, then go ahead and do some IPC. But pub/sub is NOT an architecture. Its a soup of tightly coupled fragments of functionality. It falls apart very quickly in the real world.

It's being coddled in a sense. You have an entire generation that had very little required of them. Many of them never heard the word no and were just given what they wanted. Additionally, k12 schools told them that any slight or disagreement put towards them was bullying and unacceptable. No one should have to hear opinions they don't agree with.

Imagine growing up that way and then being sent off on your own. Of course your mental well-being will plummet. It's like being in a nice climate controlled house for 18 years and then being thrown out in the wilderness. When your expectation is to never have to deal with any discomfort.... well it's a shock.

As far as the social media part, I think many of these kids were raised on smart devices. They were receiving constant dopamine hits from a young age and no parenting on emotional regulation. If your brain is wired for an easy dopamine hit that doesn't require work, the real world is pretty harsh and depressing.

Linux is fundamentally not monolithic like Windows, but maybe some DEs could expose hooks for LLMs to use.

There is also the performance issue. Right now the task energy/memory usage of llama implementations is very high, and it takes some time to load into RAM and/or VRAM. It seems Microsoft is getting around this with cloud inference, and eats the hosting cost (for now).

In AWS - we launch either Intel or Arm EC2 instances depending on the requested build platform (or both for multi-platform builds). When a project's builds are running, they have sole control of that instance, which is terminated when the builds are done.

To make this performant we keep a certain number of spare "warm" machines ready for build requests so that you don't have to pay the instance launch time penalty yourself.
I wonder if affection for capsule machines is a Nintendo thing?

Most armies where farmers who did a little bit of training in their village in the off season. They would be called up for specific battles, given a couple weeks training and then off to battle, those who survived went back home.

Very few societies could afford a large standing army. There would be one or two village watchmen to keep watch over night. The king might have a dozen guards that were well trained. The bulk of the army was farmers conscripted a few weeks before at need, and sent back home when done. The economies just couldn't support more when 95% of the total human population had to be a farmer just to grow enough food.

There were exceptions. The Romans did manage to hold large standing armies, but they were exceptions.
I think you're missing the point. Sure, the bands did it because it sounded the way they wanted, and may not have had any deeper justification. But a music theorist is going analyze the music to try and understand _why_ it sounds the way it does. Trying to fit it into idiomatic in the traditions of jazz or European classical music is one tool for doing this. It may not be the best tool, but it does provide some insight.

This reads like an advertisement. I routinely use GPG, and it is useful for me. It's not perfect (far from perfect, really), but it's a solution for multiple of my problems.

I don't know much about the solution you promote, but as usual with many "PGP killers" it replaces one very specific application of PGP and ignores all the others. Which is ok! Doing one thing and doing it well is the Unix philosophy after all. But it's not something I have use for, and it's not a viable replacement for GPG.
> Of those 1069 unique keys, about 30% of them were not discoverable on major public keyservers, making it difficult or impossible to meaningfully verify those signatures. Of the remaining 71%, nearly half of them were unable to be meaningfully verified at the time of the audit (2023-05-19) 2.

so...*reject those packages*. if you use a PGP key that isn't properly available or verifiable, reject it. That way every package with a PGP key will have 100% "key is properly discoverable" rate.

it's not really reasonable to just drop this feature because most packages don't use it. Packages with tens of millions of downloads (like mine) make up a small percentage of total packages, but this small number of packages makes up a huge proportion of actual downloads, and package signing is most useful for these kinds of packages.

if the adoption of "proper PGP keys" were ranked by packages/ downloads rather than "packages" alone, these rates would be much different.
Uber is losing money and is frequently accused of undervaluing the deprecation and maintenance of the drivers' vehicles.

If Google was to enter a market at a loss in an effort to use its market dominance in Android to drive out a competitor that would potentially be something that would be considered anticompetitive and US regulators would likely be interested in it.

I don't believe that Google can compete with Uber losing money as it is nor that Google has an appetite for purchasing the necessary vehicles and maintaining them outside of a few test cities for a technology demo. Having driverless taxis also means that they would need to do a better job with end user support (compare the urgency of "help, I'm locked out of my email" and their current resolution time to "help, I'm locked in a car and can't get out!").
It might have an effect on your mental health though. Ads use all kinds of psychological tricks including making people feel worse about themselves.
i agree except for the GMO part. modern diet is pretty ill though. some of your points are slightly exaggerated but not by much. as someone now in their 40’s, affordable housing has been the biggest one. worked my whole life but still had to live with housemates and couldn’t save much if any money. finally got a higher paying job at a pharma company in the bay area a few years ago, still can’t afford to buy a house or have kids.
But in this case we lose one way of defining authors.
I agree that the edge cases make this extremely challenging. That goes both for making the standard contracts and the software that manages them.

For each contract, we go through a multi-month process with 40+ attorneys to vet the standards against all of the permutations they've seen without making the agreements too complex.

On the software side, this is a big part of the value of structured data. We make it easier to keep track of the different variations you've agreed to in different contracts. It's a tricky balance to make sure our users are never constrained from closing new customers while still making sure the software sticks to and takes advantage of the standards.
So, Apple decides to make their own 5G cellular modem. Now, apart from Baseband, some of the RF in the cellular is hard (modulators with low power consumption, Envelope trackers, diplexers, duplexers). Some of these were designed by Qualcomm and some from Avago (Broadcom got acquired by Avago and renamed to Broadcom), Skyworks, Analog Devices, etc. So it is not surprising that Apple wants Broadcom's help for next few years until when Apple decides to again vertically integrate and make those components as well ( but they may decide it is not that cost competitive to do do).

The hardest part was Qualcomm's cost and paying them FOB royalties (which got capped at some point by DOJ/FTC involvement).

A new permanent taskbar button opens an OpenAI LLM trained to use Windows 11.

You ask the LLM to do what you want -- "summarize this email and send the summary to my boss."

It works with all applications. It sees what you're seeing.

As a longtime Linux user, it pains me to say this:

It's... beautiful.

...

But it's also scary, because it's not under your control. Ultimately, it obeys only the bureaucracy at Microsoft.

In that sense, it's like "MOTHER" in Ridely Scott's Alien and "HAL" in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

> Likewise, the kid will smoke less weed and drink less beer if they have to hide it and jump through hoops to get it.

In my experience/observation, how strict the parent is at trying to forbid drug and alcohol use doesn't actually have much correlation with whether and how much the kids use drugs and alcohol. Or if it does, it's a negative correlation. The kids with the biggest problems always seemed to have the strictest most punitive parents, whether as cause or effect. I am pretty sure plenty of research backs up that an effective way to reduce teen drug use is _not_ to have parents just try to be really strict and punitive about it.

Sure, there are a few parents who are totally absentee or abusive (say, giving kids drugs) and it can be related to kids with drugs and alcohol problems. But the vast majority of kids with drugs and alcohol problems indeed "have to hide it and jump through hoops to get it". And I don't find the kids whose parents try to be stricter or are scarier about it are in fact any less likely to have problems. I wouldn't be shocked if the correlation is the opposite.
