I don’t know it is clear that this is proof. Apple is notorious for keeping people out of the loop late I to a product’s lifecycle.

That’s not to say I think they’re making an equivalent, just that I doubt many of the employees looking to use ChatGPT would have access to their internal LLM even if it was excellent.

It might be good evidence that they won’t be announcing one at WWDC in a couple weeks, since I can imagine they might roll something like that out internally a couple of weeks before launch, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Somewhat off-topic, but the article mentions Google docs not having a way to embed/format code nicely.

A single-axis tracker isn't expensive, but solar panels have gotten very cheap.

They've gotten so cheap that this Texas company claims that it's cheaper to buy more panels and lay them on the ground rather than using a rack to get them at a better angle.

This, and why 1992-2020? How many of these large lakes are distributed in say, Midwest America/Canada. What were the precipitation levels in that region just a few years prior? Why did they need to involve climate models when we have observable data?
The ASME boiler and pressure vessel code is a de-facto law for building and operating any kind of pressure vessel in the US. Each section of it costs about $700 (or ~$20,000 for all of them), and you may need to buy 7-8 sections because they all cross-reference each other. You also need to buy the latest copy every 2 years.

Nobody is doing anything with FedNow yet because it's not out. But if it works it will grow, just like in the EU where they have similar things and they're used.
Taking Copenhagen, there are two large shopping centres of 115,000m² and 58,000m², plus several more of around 15,000-30,000m². The smaller ones are generally a large (for Europe) supermarket in the basement, then other shops and restaurants on the ground and upper floors.

The two larger ones have commuter rail, metro, bus and cycle access, and parking for cars.

I'm sure the others have some parking, but it's not obvious as I've never used a car to visit one.

But, this city is the 'perfect' one, and there is a lot of range in-between. There are certainly large shopping malls in Europe with only road access, though they are almost certain to have bus services. Bluewater Shopping Centre just outside London is the first example that comes to mind.
Visa electron/maestro are they debit cards now? Back in the day they were only for ATMs and very few businesses.

It's easy to overlook the effects of transpiration, which is a result of photosynthesis, which is impacted by biodiversity loss. It short circuits water's path back to the ocean and puts it back into the air above land where it can precipitate into lakes a second time.

Without it, snowmelt-fed rivers dry out earlier.

As more ice melts there might be more liquid water available, but the ecosystems that would process that water into vapor are struggling. So you end up with a situation where the only source of water vapor in the air is the oceans.

As temperatures increase that'll again be a net increase in ocean-driven evaporation, but it'll be less evenly distributed than evaporation+transpiration was.

So the concern is that the only available water will be too salty to drink, or too destructive to capture.

Yes? That's a direct quote from my post, which also included the "if not" scenario. What point are you attempting to make?
> You think they don't checkpoint the model before feeding in a new slug of data?

They definitely do that otherwise they can't rewind the model when the loss shoots up. Unstable training happens to almost all LLMs, but can be managed by rewinding & skipping a few batches.

Income and wealth inequality also drives crime, indeed.
I implemented the eager recomputation model for the observable utilities in vscode [1] and it quickly fell on my feet because of these glitches.

In particular this is problematic if you have observable optional state that has inner observable/derived state and someone reactively reads the outer state and then it's inner if the outer one is defined.

Then you clear and dispose the outer state and at the same time set some other observable value that the inner derived depends on.
With eager recomputation, it can now happen that the inner derived is recomputed, even though the inner state is disposed.

Not sure how this would even work. To my knowledge trade deals can only be disputed by signing countries, not corporations. I don't think a bubble gum company in US can sue Singapore for the bubble gum ban, for example.
To clarify, I think groups of people building something together is valid and doesn't have to be in the context of a business as per my previous post, and maybe should be done more often.

Your first post sort of conflated "business" and "family" and no ... that's a bad thing. Businesses shouldn't get to call themselves family. I don't want the place I have to go to get money to live (which I wouldn't need to do if I was rich) to impose any emotional/moral obligation like a family. If a job starts treating me badly it's great to able to get another job without dealing with the ethical "is it right to abandon your family" type questions.

> Money did not exist before it was invented.

Inventions are children of necessity.

Money (of some kind) can only not exist if a static group of people are in a perfectly static environment where all their economic needs are met.

When the environment is only a little dynamic, historically enforcement of a "static environment" has been attempted with rigid social rules and hierarchies, but things like the plague, droughts, floods, and natural disasters don't listen to them.

When environments are dynamic and experience changes--drastic or gradual--different skills and tools will be needed to adapt. Markets will pop up. A human-independent store of value among peers in a large enough group of people will always be necessary.
The great replacement conspiracy theory is that a shadowy group (probably the Jews) is deliberately encouraging immigration, encouraging non-white people to have lots of children, and preventing white people from having children, all as a form of genocide. This is completely dead wrong. We don't really see "native" populations being replaced, and to the extent that we do it happens despite the efforts of people in power. The fact that a conspiracy theory contains a kernel of truth, or at least plausibility, does not justify the flights of fancy that follow.

Epstein was running a massive sex trafficking ring. Hillary Clinton was not running one out of a pizza parlor.

The CIA experimented with mind control. It did not use radio telescopes and chemtrails to do it.

The government has videos of weird things in the air. It does not have captured alien spacecraft.

Certain people actually did try to steal the 2020 election. Joe Biden was not one of them.

>Covid responses around the world showed that vaccine passports were very much on the cards.

This is strange to me. Of course they were on the cards! We've handled pandemics before. All these supposedly sinister tools have been used in the past. There's no need for cloak-and-dagger scheming when governments have well-tested legal authority to simply mandate vaccination.
Not the wealth plays major role here, but relatively small difference between richest and poorest people, that makes crime rates quite low in Norway.

Having people in prison for a shorter period is still cheaper than having them come back again and again. For smaller crimes people are allowed to go home for the evenings/weekends and the biggest punishment really is loosing the ability to work.

I guess that this can prevent people from completely loosing touch with outside world which makes it easier to go back to a normal life.

ChatGPT can evolve. If it doesn't know the answer you could be identified as an "expert" in the field and you could be asked for an answer. This is how ChatGPT will help connect humanity with all our experts. Basically we'll all be training the model and getting information from the model. We're going to have to get serious about thinking through oversight so bad actors can't corrupt valid information.
Good point, if the government removes privacy focused apps from the public what are they going to use?
From a quick look to one file, seems fairly consistent. Perhaps most unorthodox but at the same time easiest to justify: function bodies skip one level of indentation. The curly brace of function body at column zero is actually a separate, very traditional style. It's just that both styles apply to function bodies, there is no other causal relationship. Finally, indentation is 4 spaces, and tabs are expanded. Of course a very few places may be miss-styled, as happens with hand crafted code. While definitely sinful for not indenting with tabs as God intended, the style is not messy

I've often envisioned a future where instead of a stream of headlines of sensationalized news, people just see a KPI dashboard for their life, their family, community and the world.

I'm curious how to approach building that or what already exists.
I've been pulling dandelions from my yard so maybe I am sensitized to any news but lately I've seen a lot of stories on them:

Europeans brought them over to the New World they were a common food source and used for medicine.

Dandelion comes from Lion's Tooth in French due to the look do the fine pointed flower leaves.

They are seen as a nuisance now since lawns were once only for the very rich. You had land you needed to grow all your food on it.

A local biologist said "no mow May" is nonsense bees should be using wildflowers not dandelions. To bees dandelions are like junk food the pollen is poor quality.

Dandelions do not need to pollinate seeds are ready to go that's why they are so numerous.

All parts of a dandelion edible young leaves taste good but old are bitter, such is life.
feels like kind of a fair tradeoff

A few years ago, working at a startup, I tried to convince our founder to pay for SO talent. IIRC, there was a minimum 6-12 month commitment, and while not crazy expensive, it was too much money to lay down on a lark. Since there was no way to 'try before you buy', there was no way to know in advance if the outlay would pay off.

It was a great experience for job hunters, but that value was not apparent to employers.

Compare this to LinkedIn, where you can post a job ad for free, and pay a relatively small amount to 'promote' your ad. Do this, and you immediately see the quantity and quality of applicants increase, so it's easy to make the case to pay, even if in the end you'd pay linked in more than SO talent's upfront costs.

That SO talent didn't have a self-service, pay-as-you-go option was a major miss, especially for an audience of tech companies, where this kind of business model is common, if not expected.

> And how to force country to do it?

You cannot force a country to do anything. They have to want to do it.

> If, for example, country don't have resources to do itself?

That's a difficult question without a simple answer. Ideally, countries would build themselves up, acquiring the resources to have their own industries.
I also wonder if they could have spun it off as a small, profitable (after price hikes and expense cutting), but non-growing company that existed to buy advertising space on StackOverflow. That might have been too big a distraction though.

It's just a shame that they destroyed what, to me, was the best job board out there.
Apple's security policy already prohibited putting confidential or proprietary information into any not-explicitly-approved, externally-hosted service. So I'm guessing this wasn't a "ban" so much as reminding people of this policy and that ChatGPT is still unapproved.

The reasons go behind using data as training. Submissions to servers end up in logs, databases, temp files... who knows. And a company like Apple wants to not only ensure that the data is explicitly used by the receiving party, but also not inadvertently made accessible to others via poor security procedures, since their data is such a high value target.
Just like every other country. The world literally runs on WhatsApp.

What this tells me is that the internal combustion engine is a bad idea everywhere but especially in a dense urban core.

People like both the dense urban core and the suburb single family home life style. They are very different modes of life. A lot of Europeans I know really like one or the other because they don’t really get them back home.

The solution to road noise doesn’t have to be a dramatic rezoning and a reversion to Europe everywhere. It could be to make cars and trucks quieter.

Why not? This would fix the regurgitation issue and possibly be more palatable to copyright holders. The LLM trained on both copyrighted and open works can generate training data for a second LLM that never sees copyrighted works, achieving perfect separation of idea from expression.

Copyright is supposed to protect expression but not ideas. Ideas are free, LLMs should be allowed to learn ideas. This can also filter out bad quality data and PII, or expand on parts of the distribution with less samples. It would be "dataset engineering" as opposed to "model engineering".

A recent paper (TinyStories) shows you can train a LM entirely with synthetic data and even evaluate it with another LLM. They could make a model 1000x smaller that still has fluent English - child level English more specifically, but well articulated, and even capable of reasoning.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759

I believe in the future LLMs will train on 100% synthetic data from previous generations of LLM. The benefit will be increased quality, more privacy, less copyright infringement and smaller more efficient models, like TinyStories. Only the first few generations of LLM need to scrape the whole internet, the next generations will have better data.

They lost over $500M last year, and are looking to raise, potentially, $100B.

From that, how do you not conclude that they need cash, and lots of it? Do you think selling equity and taking on debt are forms of revenue?
> Rust's graph is not (as) arbitrary, per se, it's stricter, but it keeps many of the same defects, in part to maintain C compatibility.

I don't thing a core requirement for the design of an language needed for it's targeted use-cases is an defect, not having it would be an defect. I guess that's just a bad choice of wording.

> It's not about deep vs non-deep

(side not I noticed my wording choice wasn't grate, with flat copy I meant copy of a continuous memory region, it could still be a nested type as long as there are no indirections).

It's all about that. Through more specifically the expected runtime cost associated with it. Copy only works for flat memory copies, is normally very cheap and in turn is automatic. Clone works for everything including deep-clones but might be very expensive and in turn is not ever done automatically and no doing any magic CoW tricks or similar was a very deliberate decision as for the use case rust was designed with in mind you do not want a Clone happen at a "unexpected" time. Sure it's not perfect e.g. there is are "cheap-Clone" types (like Rc) where I would prefer rust to automatically clone in at least some contexts.

> In the simplified model I propose everything is copied (deep) by default, but you don't pay the cost for larger structures being copied, due to COW.

But this approach has a wide variety of problem iff you want to use it for a system language. Like it being trivial to accidentally introduce potentially very expensive cloning or accidentally using a ton of unneeded memory. And yes you could come up with all kinds of mechanisms to reduce this. But defaults matter and rust by default motivates you to not do potentially expensive clones. This comes at a cost, sure. But depending on you use-case this is exactly what you want.

> It's a mess.

but a practically very useful mess which has a lot of success in difference to any of the research languages which in the past had tried to archive similar things as you stated.

Perfection isn't and was never the goal. You always have to have a compromise between usability, compatibility, maintainability, debugability and performance. And for a "system programming language" this means C-compatibility and fine grained control over when or where copies happen.

Doesn't mean it couldn't work for languages focused on other use-case, and could be suited for typical web server or app use-cases. But even through rust is used a lot for this it wasn't designed for this use case.

Spending more to reduce recidivism is like insulating your house - if you think you can't afford it, you probably can't afford not to do it.

I am glad you have made it. As sad as the story is, it is also fascinating to me. Would you be willing to go into more detail ( among other things, why would heavy stone work in this case )?
It's not enough to agree. You'll have to actually show evidence of what OP was hinting. To remind you, he was hinting that Norway's better recidivism rates than Denmark and Sweden was due to its people.

So: Can you show any such evidence? Because from where I sit, it certainly looks like Norway has more African and middle easters immigrants than Denmark, but still have more of them employed and have lower recidivism rates. So.... Where do you get it from?

I'd be happy to be wrong, but this sure feels like another instance of a numbers/formulas/algorithm-oriented person wanting a shortcut to visual style. This site is full of these, in many areas of endeavor. As a musician, I particularly notice posts that do this kind of thing with music ("I've Invented a New Musical Notation That Makes Everything Easier!").

I just get sad for the designers who have to battle this stuff every day. No programmer would take "input" on their code from a nurse (say), but designers face "input" on their decisions and their craft at every turn. I've yet to meet a designer who was longing for a web form to input a bunch of numbers to generate some type sizes.

But I could be wrong. It happens a lot.
