Because people write plays for a variety of reasons, not just to "serve" the audience. We might write plays to intentionally provoke the audience, to make them angry, or sad, or otherwise feel some emotion they might otherwise feel for some surprising reason. We might write a play because we were seized by a "genius" and neither personal nor social goals adequately describe the reason. Or maybe we write plays merely as an interaction in some kind of entertainment "marketplace." In reality, these two different sorts of activities are interrelated in complex ways and the foremost goal of the artist (even the foremost goal of the viewer) might change from day to day or moment to moment.

Socrates talks about this, I think. A good doctor doesn't serve the patient. A good doctor serves the patient's health and this might actively piss the patient off. Sometimes an artist is a kind of social doctor (or they may aspire to be one).

Thinking of the complex social relation between playwright and audience as driven entirely by either the ego of the artist or the ego of the audience member flattens out the roles of both to such an absurd degree that discussion of the thing in question is impossible. Hence, doing so is "weird."

[EDIT]: Thinking about this has crystalized something which has been swimming around in my brain for awhile. I think a fundamental way in which the current internet undermines human beings and produces alienation is that people fundamentally need to be met with a degree of resistance from people and serendipity from the world. When we seek out art we are, in a certain sense, seeking deliberately to be given something we don't want, explicitly. When we forage for novelty, we do not want to be served up something "curated" for us, but something which we could not have anticipated on the basis of our previous habits. Building marketplaces for every conceivable kind of human interaction undermines this basic need on the part of human beings. Recommendation engines and curation algorithms undermine this need. Even an object like ChatGPT, in a way, can't meet it. When I talk to a human I want to be, in some small way, and not always, genuinely surprised by what they say. It is difficult for a machine which is trained to predict the next token to do this (it is obviously not impossible because LLMs (and other algorithms) know much more than a person and can thus surprise us simply by conjuring up that with which we haven't yet made contact).

This matches my experience. I'd use the CF free plan assuming no guarantees for a low risk site like my personal site, and I'd use the expensive enterprise plan where I'm paying individually for features and quota, but I'd never use the middle-ground "sure it's unlimited!" plan – it's far too vague about what it _actually_ provides.

I'm very curious about who greenlit this game and thought it would sell well. It's a game with the player playing Gollum. Not Legolas or Elrond or Sauron or Morgoth or just about any other LotR character - but Gollum.

I'm guessing that the publishers lost confidence in the game's ability to sell and just told the dev team to wrap it up and release it in any state.

If you actually need so many 9's in the availability that it makes sense to invest in well tested robust failovers and resulting distributed-system application complexity (which most people don't test, they end up just paying for redundancy but getting maybe even reduced availability), you are in a very small minority and you will be highly skeptical of outsourcing this to a cloud vendor since their HA also goes tits up regularly.

I don't know what winters in CA look like exactly as I've never been there (probably depends where in CA too, it's a big place), but I lived in the tropics for a few years and I kind of missed European winters. Being too cold isn't brilliant, but being too hot isn't either. I like the alternation between things – kinda breaks stuff up.

Also some food or drinks somehow never taste quite the same in hot temperatures. Red wine is a good example.

There are very different architectures in the wild. Some are simply standard GPUs (maybe with additional support for bf16/float16) (Rockchip RK1808 has one like that). You give it a list of instructions pretty much like a CPU (except massively parallel), and it'll execute it. BTW when I say standard GPU, I'm not saying "kinda like GPU, but really literally GPU architecture. Linux mainline support for Amlogic A311D2's NPU is 10 lines, and it's declaring a no-output vivante GPU.

Some are just hardware pipeline to compute 2d/3d convolutions + activation function (Rockchip RK3588 has one like that). You give it the memory address + dimensions of the input matrix, the memory address + dimensions of the weights, memory address + dimensions of the output, which activation function you want (there are only like 4 supported), then you tell it RUN, you wait for a bit, and you have the result at the output memory address.

(I took Rockchip example to show that even in one microcosm it can change a lot)

And then you can imagine any architecture in-between.

AFAIK they all work with some RAM as input and some RAM as output, but some may have its own RAM, some may share RAM with the system, some might have mixed usage (RK3588 has some SRAM, and when you ask it to compute the convolution, you can tell it either to write to SRAM or system RAM)

It's possible that there are some components that are border line between ISP (Image Signal Porcessing) and a NPU, where the input is the direct camera stream, but my guess is that they do some very small processing on the camera stream, then dump it to RAM, then do all the heavy work from RAM to RAM. I think that Pixel 4-5 had something like that.
Srsly. I don’t get what the point of this was.

This seems like a past performance as a measure of future returns error to me.

China has had a lot of success with free market and exports while having substantial central control and without being a liberal democracy. It's not really clear how systems will fail or succeed as technological balance rebalances or unbalances power between the estates.

I think long term leaders will continue to be parasitic burdens upon their societies but its quite possible that technology will help alleviate their typical consequences on productivity.

For example, virtually every corporation is at its heart a failure in democratic control and a centrally controlled institution with either a long term dictator or oligarchy. They had substantially more problems competing in earlier times when paperwork overhead was literal paper.

Every window looks perfect all the time, and it doesn't matter if a program is busy.

Without composition, each program repaints itself. Which means there's an appreciable lag, and if the program is stuck you can get a blank box if a previously covered program is uncovered. This can be an annoyance if you need to read something from there.

Eg, an actual example is a program being blocked by a modal dialog stops being repainted. If the dialog asks you "Enter a password" and the what for is written on the no longer repainting parent you may have a problem.
This. In addition I would just add that most people search for some paradigm shift or innovation potential.

I reckon its much easier to just find a market with personal interests and compete with existing players on a smaller feature for a smaller audience since the demand is already validated.

OpenAI does not offer its services in Saudi Arabia. Saudis are blocked from registering. It's not a government block which works entirely differently and shows you a page explaining that it is blocked.

If it's blocked for political reasons I'd like to understand why, so we can understand their values that allow all those countries on the list but not Saudi.

I was able to register with a US phone number and VPN, but I'm also blocked from actually paying to get an API key.

I find the worry about compliance a thin excuse since a larger company like Microsoft that does have presence in the country offers Bing without issue. Same with SnapChat which has signifianct Saudi investmnet.

I believe it's some kind of misguided political activism.

The main point is that it's not a good survival strategy for a hobbyist project that may draw the ire of a big company: even if the companies legal action is completely frivolous, it can easily destroy the project (basically the only option they actually have is enough public outcry to get the company to back off due to the bad publicity). Generally speaking laying low is the better option. It sucks, and it's a big problem with the current judicial system, but it is the status quo. It would take someone able and willing to put some serious resources into a risky bet to change that.

Not necessarily, because same color doesn't require same palette index. If you are going to preprocess the image anyway, you can assign one palette index to each connected component.

Ah good memories! Even though I knew nothing about VoIP I installed, years ago, one at my wife's little SME using "RasPBX" (a distro made of Raspbian + FreePBX + Asterisk) running on a... Raspberry Pi 1 (maybe a Pi 2 but I'm pretty sure it was a 1). The Pi was booting from the SD card but everything was running on an external HDD.

I did put six Cisco VoIP phones and all was working fine as long as no more than four phones were used simultaneously (which never happened). It worked for years like that and wife ended up selling her SME with these VoIP phones still hooked to the RPi 1. We warned them that that thing was kinda a hack ; )

For anyone hesitating: it's not hard to set up. Find a provider to get a SIP trunk, configure the thing, backup the config (I just imaged the entire drive), and you're good to go for a very long time.

It's simple, reliable, stuff that usually won't move under your feet.

Car analogy time:

A mate of mine has an absolutely beautiful old Austin 12 which turns 100 years old this summer. It actually drives surprisingly like a modern car, modulo things like no syncromesh so you have to double-declutch - it doesn't have the "funny" pedal layout of a Ford Model T, for example - and its 1800cc engine still produces most of its 27bhp taking it to a top speed absolutely flat out downhill and homesick of about 50mph, not that you'd want to with its cable-operated brakes. Most of the mechanicals would be familiar to anyone who'd worked on any sort of car.

You could take that 100-year-old car and daily it, around town. It is a joy to drive, and everyone wants a good look at it. It's clearly a thing of beauty made in a way that nothing will ever be made again. However!

Pretty much every time you go to drive it you need to fiddle with the carburettor, or do something to the magneto, or take the spark plugs out and give them a clean, or prime something, or oil something, or generally fettle some part. You've got to set the throttle, the choke, and the magneto timing *juuuuust* right before you swing the starting handle or it'll break your wrist. The cooling system either overheats or doesn't heat up enough and the only way to tell is it doesn't run properly and sometimes steam comes out - for both conditions.

I love driving it. I also love old OSes like AIX and SunOS. I've even run 2.11BSD on a real PDP11!

Here's the thing, though. I have Linux on my desktop, and a 25-year-old Range Rover parked outside. They're both a bit old-fashioned with some clunky bits of styling that you wouldn't have these days. They're a bit crude mechanically (it has a 1960s V8 boat engine under the bonnet!? It has a *monolithic* kernel under the bonnet?!) but they both start on the button, run all day without having to get out and fiddle, and they're comfortable to sit at for long period and actually *get shit done*.

No-one stops to turn and gawp as you go past though.

According to the article, the original research on language model was kick started by Claude Shannon's early contributions in Markov chain model of English words.

If you are in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) there are hardly any area in the field which their fundamentals do not have Shannon's hands in it.

Leonard Kleinrock once remarked that he has to focus on the exotic queuing theory field that later leads to the packet switching and then Internet because most of the fundamentals problems in electrical and computer engineering (older version of ICT) have already been solved by Shannon.
