This is a wild late stage capitalist, Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation take. The author exclusively refers to experiences as something to be bought. A Bali retreat, a dinner at Chez Panisse, you can imagine these as something Patrick Bateman would espouse at a dinner party.

The author makes the mistake in trying to distinguish between spending money on products and spending money on services, but these are fundamentally the same thing; they are just something to be bought. Only one is temporal and once is physical.

When people discuss the joys of experiences as anti-materialism, they are talking about actually doing something. Depending on your sense of adventure this could be going to a dinner party with friends, or climbing a mountain in a foreign country. True experience needs to happen in your own control, outside of consumerism. This is a well studied and written about phenomenon: see any adventure book written in the past 100 years.
> Yet, anyone who has lived through a cold dark nordic winter will tell you a different story.

Anecdotal, but if you're taking Vitamin D, skiing in the forests, enjoying hot chocolate, and alternating between working hard and playing (video games?) hard, the winter can actually be very enjoyable.

I remember before I felt this way, but I think a lot of winter complaints come from people who aren’t adjusted/aware of the rhythm of the year and its associated opportunities.
100% agree. It seems money can't buy happiness. And neither can socialized benefits. There is a lot more to life and happiness than what these polls seem to care about.
> People are trying to make recursively self-improving AI.

That's okay. They will fail to overtake the bleeding edge of conventional progress; scary-sounding meta/recrusive approaches routinely fail to change the nature of the game. Yudkowsky/Bostrom's nightmare of a FOOMing singleton is at its core a projection, a power fantasy about intellectual domination, borne of the same root as the unrealized dream of cognitive improvement via learning about biases and "rationality techniques".

Like I've said, this threat model is only feasible in a world where AI capabilities are highly centralized (e.g. on the pretext of AI safety), so a single overwhelming node can quickly recursively capitalize on its advantage. It turns out that AGI isn't like a LISP script a dozen clever edits away from transcendence, and AI assistance is not like having a kitchen nuke or a genie; scaling factors and resources of our Universe do not lend themselves to easily effecting unipolarity. If we go on with business as usual and prevent fearmongers from succeeding at regulatory capture in this crucial period, we will dodge the bullet.

> The presence of people who do not fall into that category does not negate the presence of and risk created by people who do, and if the latter group is being armed by people in the former group, that is likely to turn out very, very poorly

Realistically we'll just have to develop smarter spam filters. In the absolute worst case scenario, better UV air filters. About damn time anyway – and with double-digit GDP growth (very possible in a world of commoditized AGI) it'll be very affordable.
Motif was everywhere and it sucked. Sun/SGI/etc. SGI/IRIX unfortunately used it as the default, but you could change it fairly easily.

The most profound experience I ever had was experiencing days as whole moments on a sabbatical where I just hiked for months straight.

My only possessions were about 20 lbs of gear. I can promise you, the possessions were necessary to make the experience possible but I don’t have a relationship with that year.

I have a relationship with the memory of how reality works when you disconnect from society and plug into nature.
Does anyone have SIP setup on their domain? Are there many spam calls these days?

I've just lived through my 39th such winter, and I really don't know what you're talking about.
The video is about analog chips for ML/NNs. His profile of this company was particularly interesting: https://mythic.ai/

OP asked about chips for AI.
Maybe instead it just ligatures in common typos even though you spell the word correctly:

handle becomes handel

Or strip out past tense:

Also:
You're always spelled as your;
Oxford commas never;

x86 is a binary artifact instruction set, and software is written in higher level languages that can be recompiled. CUDA is a language that can target multiple ISAs. Microsoft and apple had incentive to keep options open to migrate off x86 and give a lot of support to their users doing so, and provide backwards compatibility in form of emulation etc. NVidia does this even better, users don't even notice when they are switching GPU ISAs.

In principle it's easy to recompile CPU side stuff too, but there are 3rd party component ecosystems, other dependency quirks, familiarity with the platform, familiar well known performance properties, sharing the same questions and answers on stackoverflow, etc. The lock-in network effect can be strong even if its individual contributing factors

I agree it's less locked in than eg Intel had it in the heyday. Ultimately we'll find out when the competition eventually shows up with reasons to consider switching.
While the article talks about PROCESSED carbohydrates, the study talks about REFINED carbohydrates. What are these and how the impact differs from unprocessed or unrefined carbohydrates?
I wouldn’t disagree, but it’s like stepping into the kiddy pool without bothering to learn to swim to unlock all the other opportunities to swim (and possibly save others too).
I've lived through two such cold dark winters, one of which was spent partially above the Arctic circle (24h darkness). I loved it! I wish it could be that way year round. Looking forward to many, many more.
So a separate font for features that should be OpenType variations. Glad to see that spirit is still alive over at Linotype.

Meanwhile in the real world, Inter is still widely rising, with lots of OpenType variations and variable weights.
One often sees the STUN, TURN or ICE protocols around SIP-based VoIP, I believed they were supposed to help solve those issues?
To most people, if it's not on Steam, it doesn't exist, especially on a Steam Deck. So while anyone can still install it outside of Steam, by not being available via Steam their possible audience is significantly reduced.
I think this will follow the innovation cycles curve, i.e. the hype will be followed by a crash, which will be followed by widespread adoption and complete transformation of the humanity.

I suspect that once the flashy headlines die off, people will realize that you can't be better than the competition using the same AI tools everybody uses and the idea of replacing humans with the latest flashy AI tool will be replaced with AI tools being the baseline. This will simply result in having the bottom of the barrel in all areas in human productivity to be replaced with the current average in a similar way that industrialisation brought even the worst of the industrial consumer products to the previous average and made those accessible to everyone.

So, even when the hype fades we will end up with much higher bar of expectations. This is going to be a transformation of the society similar to the industrial revolution.
Beyond all reason is not open source though, since a lot of its artwork is licensed CC-by-NC-ND.
https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/Beyond-All-Reason/blob/...

Another Total Anhilation clone is ZeroK which is unfortunately also not completely open source because of its artwork license (Wikipedia mentions CC by NC ND but I could only fjnd this summary https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Artwork/issues/16).

Unfortunately it is near impossible to setup a local LAN game with ZeroK, since there are no current instructions to setup the required spring-engine lobby server.

Edited, because I recognized to late, that Wikipedia mentions that zeroK-Artwork might also be under CC-by-NC-ND.

Edited again to clarify, that its not open source because of the artwork.
I wrote a whole reply and then deleted when you're basically:
- pushing for deplatforming based on your own authoritarianism.
- claiming whatever you do is right and should allow no debate.
- threatening Elon mask för some weird reason.

Authoritarians who feel right to censor, attack and deplatform are a problem no matter if they're Religious conservatives or identity politics fanatics.

Both are rabid and don't make the world a better place.

You seem to be one of them and your threats are tired at this point.

True. But one has to make an effort and in my experience most people get depressed. And I don't blame them. A few weeks of snow is amazing. But after the third month of snow and shoveling the driveway, most people break.
Interesting observation, but, uh, now they don't. Not to mention that you still have to wait months for the majority of other car dealers.

In game design terms it's interesting how old games pathfinding is so much better than modern games.

If pathfinding is too efficient, and the same for all units, then the micro aspect of the game is killed. Micro is the "real time" part of real time strategy.

If you play something like Starcraft 1, Warcraft 2, or AoE 2 you'll see the pathfinding has immense peculiarities that as you get better at the game you learn to manage. Units get stuck on each other and so on.

Starcraft 2 has a very good pathfinding algorithm but it still intentionally adds a lot of variety to how units move to recreate that cumbersome peculiar pathfinding that rewards micro. Yet if you look at Starcraft 1 you see the units still move in much more unique ways.

I think it's too easy to fall into a technical rabbit hole and try to do the best pathfinding when it actively harms the game.
Incredible that this is normalised. When a law is "you can enjoy cultural creations of 2007 in 2102", disobeying it is legitimate.
Mostly relevant to Steam Deck users; a proper Steam release would offer better system integration, Steam Cloud, Steam Input, etc. as I understand it.
Do you have any sources on those informations? I find it really hard to find stuff for what you describe. Also do you know about the detail of producing those Asics? Are they CMOS or flash (in-memory-compute?)
AWS and Amazon for that matter didn't just happen. There absolutely is a lot of enterprise architecture and strategy built into them with the goal of capturing markets and extracting rent. Corporations exist for the exact reason that this is possible.

> when our whole team is focused on one set of interrelated new features, we spend a lot of overhead coordination time figuring out how to not create conflicts for eachother. So we can work in parallel, but not in real-time with eachother's changes

If multiple people work on the same code (interrelated new features) at the same time, it seems to me they would have to sequence their work (i.e. coordinate) so as to not step on each others' toes. Put differently, this sounds like the problem is inherent and won't be solved by technology.
I absolutely love this! Never understood how we ended up trusting our messengers to not read our messages, instead of just handing them encrypted messages. This makes so much more sense. Now I just need to convince a couple of friends...

The "fairytale mode" is a very fun addition though I wonder how long the messages will become for anything that is long than "Hi Bob"?
not sure what world you live in, but ccTLDs are widely used across the world, and in a lot of countries much preferred over .com.

german people, for example, will trust a business running on a .de domain much more than a .com one.

in most cases it is much preferred for an international company to run the country-specific website on the according ccTLD. companies that "want to address a global audience" are a specific set of companies that might prefer a "global" website, but most businesses will run country specific sites, not "global" sites.

also not sure what the UK NIC being "annoying in a bunch of different ways" has to do with anything, or even means.

seems to me like you are living in your own world, far detached from reality.
The Canon R5 has no lag at all. The EVF (a 1600x1200 120Hz OLED display with 100% coverage) feels as fast as an optical viewfinder, and the R5 can shoot 20fps with full autofocus tracking and without blacking out the viewfinder. Shutter lag is actually less than on DSLRs as there's no mirror to flip and electronics have gotten way faster in the last 10 years.

The newer ones like the Canon R3 are even faster and the Sony A1 can do 240fps in the EVF.

Another perk of EVFs: they're much brighter indoors as they simulate the actual exposure.
Not all of them do, I've taken apart a Siemens dishwasher (pump was clogged) and it has a turbidity sensor to check if the water is clean or not.
You can say the same for the conversion between any 2 frontend frameworks, or even wordpress (you can just add another php file and do whatever next to your existing stuff), what's the special thing about htmx here?
I don't see anything wrong with pointing it out. If I find a previous legal case with a heading that vaguely sounds like something that could be applicable to me and try to use it as an argument, you'd likely say the same: previous cases could be useful, but you need to know how to use that record properly.
If we start shooting satellites out the sky I don't really think you will have to worry about ships wrecking themselves for very long.
Yes, it does have an element of bragging, but Northern Europe, and particularly the Nordics, do very well and there is no purpose in trying to hide that.

What is interesting to me is that much of what the Nordics do is widely known and freely available to copy for other countries. But they rarely seem to want to, even when they can afford it. Some of what the Nordics do, like free healthcare for all, is expensive and requires strong governments with little corruption. But much of it is - like education the Nordic way - is not necessarily more expensive than the way they do education in Southern and Eastern Europe.

For the vast majority of Americans, turning the US more into a Scandinavian style social democracy would mean an improvement of life. But they don't seem to want it.

For most Southern and Eastern Europeans, taking hints from Scandinavian education with less focus on root learning and grades, and more acceptance - even encouragement of making errors - would increase their kids' chances. But they still spend significant time having kids memorize old poems or historic facts, and they still punish errors and grade even little kids. And most parents seem to want it that way.

I base this on what I read in US media, and what I gathered from having lived in the US, in a Nordic country, in a Mediterranean country and in an Eastern European country.
My experience also. I'd put the weather, cuisine, and the beauty of the environment (either natural or man-made) very very high on this list; health care and education are great I guess but I really don't know how "happy" this makes people on a day-to-day basis.
Come on over. I'll host you in California next winter. Or perhaps we could travel to Sydney in Jan. My sister has a huge house there so the stay would be free. If you still prefer dark/cold winters, I'll buy you a beer. Otherwise you will owe me a beer. Deal?
Same feelings here in Switzerland. Taxes are ok for the quality of life.

I've been in a bottom place myself and I wish everyone to get the help they need without further obstacles
I’d start with CUDA, because knowing what a chip does won’t click until you see how it can be programmed to do massive parallel computation and matmul.

I read the first book in this list about 10 years ago, and though it’s pretty old the concepts are solid.

I’ve lived through my fair share of tropical non-winters and cold dark winters

I’m convinced the latter being a time of brooding is just an urban legend. I’ve met a small handful of people who look at winter this way, and every single of one of them switched their mindset if you addressed the actual issue (loneliness itself)

When I do encounter that sentiment. It often seems that person:
1.) lives in a fractured and isolating suburban community, doesn’t know their neighbors, doesn’t leave their house much
2.) grew up in a sunny tropical climate, and is still adjusting to winters

A huge amount of folks in group 2 eventually grow out of it

Folks in group 1 are often unhappy in most places. It feels to me the problem there is moreso their location and lack of community vs the winter. Because they cheer right up when they find a community to enjoy winter with

Growing up in the suburbs of the US South. Huge swathes of people I knew were unhappy with not a single cold breeze flowing by. Have a strong suspicion their unhappiness was the lack of community in their life and not the season
I’m supposedly strongly in the unmaterialistic camp, but to my horror often when I finally buy useless nice to have things they turn out to be really important sources of active happiness for me for years. Like buying a nice car after owning reasonable cars previously, building home cinema or getting guitar way too good for my skill level when I already had a guitar.
Historically it's interesting just how raggedy and static this outline is.

We have a more penetrating word for what they are reaching for here: "Moat" or Durable competitive advantage – Invest in companies that have a unique selling proposition which makes them difficult to replicate. This could include patents, brand loyalty, economies of scale etc.
There are also Constraint Programming solvers (some SAT based, some not) and (Mixed) Integer Programming solvers (not SAT based).

Each "school" excels at different types of problems. ASP for modelling a knowledge-base and running queries on it, CP for discrete optimization problems or for all-solution search, SMT for formal verification and proofs, MIP for optimization of (mostly) continuous variables.

Modern solvers in these "schools" can do things traditionally meant for other "schools". Z3 can do optimization, clingo can include CP-style constraints with clingcon, some MIP solvers can find all solutions, etc.

All in all, this type of "classical" AI is super interesting and I hope the hype on LLMs doesn't suck up all the funding that would go to research in this area.
