That’s not how technology works. Only minor changes in CPUs are done without supporting motherboard changes. Are you also going to tell CPU manufacturers that they can’t put memory and the CPU on the same die?

Are you going to tell every computer manufacturer they have to use the same motherboard across all of their computers.
I'd rather say the corpus itself. Of course scrapers might play a role in creating that corpus. But it’s just one part: maybe also OCR and OCR correction, format conversion (think of double column PDFs).

> If the US has Eastern Ukraine, we can place missiles inside the Russian's early warning threshhold aimed at Moscow

While superficially true, your point is moot: Eastern Ukraine is equally close to Moscow as Latvia, and Latvia has been in NATO since 2004.
Engineering is the application of science; as the science here is weak at best, calling it engineering seems a stretch. Perhaps “prompt author” would be more appropriate.
I think you're getting to the heart of the behind-the-scenes business decision: Let AI responses proliferate on the platform -- heck, maybe even allow a bot to submit the questions to various LLM's and post the response as a normal user -- then make the volunteer community figure out whether the response was good or not, without letting the mods interfere in the process.
Not much of a victory there and, frankly, seems to be "just by happenstance" that the man-eating machine happens to be eating the right men for once. I'm not refreshed.
Yeah, even with the larger lanes you have to get used to judging minimal clearance often without a centre line which may be intentionally left out to encourage common sense negotiation. That's before we even get into City parking where you have to be good at squeezing into improbably sized spaces on narrow Victorian streets.

There are also some newly developed areas in the middle of some cities where the roads are pristine, well marked, with generous and consistent lane widths, those look closer to something like Phoenix (except not a giant grid), but that's uncommon, most areas are a patchwork due to the way everything has evolved slowly over time.

There's not going to be a lot of ad-revenue if a sufficient number of users are like you that use 3rd party clients. Content creation/consumption on Reddit follows power laws, therefore the vast majority of Apollo users are consumers who do not generate any ad-revenue while costing Reddit compute and bandwidth.
Lisp syntax is just a nice format for textual representation of trees in general and ASTs in particular. Having done similar work in both Common Lisp and Go, I can confidently say that working with ASTs in CL is considerably less burdensome.

Lisp in general and Common Lisp in particular have a lot more going on than the syntax though. I think there's an old saw about syntax being the bikeshedding of the programming language world when it's semantics where all the real thought and expertise is required. It's the semantics that CL interesting, like for example its well defined notions of compile, load and eval time[1] and the ability to redefine existing types and functions, even while in the debugger.

I stand with Ukraine, and I support foreign aid to help them repel the Russian invasion. However, even if they eventually win the war the sad reality is that Ukraine is probably doomed as a distinct nation and culture. Even before the current war their demographics were collapsing. Now they are suffering heavy casualties on the battlefield, and millions of young people have fled the country as refugees to avoid violence and conscription. Realistically most of those people are never coming home.

https://zeihan.com/demographics-part-6-the-orthodox-predicam...

In 30 years I expect the population of Ukraine to look vastly different with a lot more immigrants from Africa and the Middle East working in agriculture and resource extraction. And to be clear I'm not claiming that this is a good thing or a bad thing, just that it seems inevitable based on demographics and geography.
Facebook's North America revenue is around $50 a quarter per user ("ARPU"), which is ~$15/month. You'd have to charge quite a bit to clear that, given most users won't pay. (Plus 30% to pay for App Store fees.)

Reddit probably did the math and figured the churn was worth it to get everyone seeing ads. Facebook is much more optimized for ads, but optimizing Reddit's ads is probably easier than getting more people to pay. The latter would probably require paywalling more which is just as icky.

I strongly disagree with anyone saying home assistant is support he’ll.

I enjoy automating and doing sysadmin things for fun, but I have a life and young children. I don’t have time to tinker as much.

Home Assistant has come a long way and has been extremely reliable the last few years. I mostly use it for automating camera detections and motion/contact sensors for security.

You can be as hands on or hands off as you want to be.

In general I’ve found if you want to do any sort of automation whether store bought or tinker-level, you’re going to be wasting some time.

Pixar reportedly conducts rare layoffs
Wild guess here (not a Lisp programmer). When I hear people talking about the practical benefits of Lisp, not just the nice theoretical stuff like homoiconicity and macros, I hear about interactivity. In Lisp it sounds like you can be pretty successful with a more experimental, on-the-fly development process. That might help a crack team push out features faster, but they might produce code that is proven to work more by experiment than by logic, which might mean it's harder to understand and keep building on. This leads to small Lisp shops that beat their competition in a niche but have trouble scaling it to Amazon size.
It's the Reddit story all over. Lisp devs know Lisp + X, but everyone else only knows X, so we'll use X instead -- even if it's inferior and causes issues down the line.

This isn't really limited to Lisp though. It applies to quite a few languages with the excuse of "market forces" where "market forces" really means "we want to makes sure our devs are easily replaceable cogs" (using a niche language actually pressures both sides to stick together because the dev can't easily find a new job and the company can't easily find a new dev).
I mean look at one of my sibling posts: I welcome an international free banking in concept, but I claim 1) it's not going to happen in the large and 2) while it will happen in the small, every player that does it in the small will get screwed.

Theoretically diversification is a good in itself, but if all the alternatives suck, reality will come running at that theory real quick.
As someone who is semi obsessed with functional/array programming and lisps, framing it as an addiction is a turn off. We should use things because they are good, not because we are unable to stop.

Only 7 years ago, the world was astonished with the release of AlphaGo. This was an algorithm dedicated to one very specific task of winning a game.

> I think Reddit charging $2.5/month for API access is more than fair

That's my point though. Reddit is NOT charging $2.5/mo for API access. It is charging a set amount per app (based on overall usage), and the developer has to now be in the business of creating and charging for a whole new subscription themselves to make up for what they have to pay Reddit.

C++ on a CV is a gift for the interviewer because it's trivial to discover if the person is bullshitting when they say that they know it.

or you know, just ask people to pay $2.50/month to cover their share? I have a weird feeling this is exactly what the Apollo dev will be doing. In order to charge everyone a monthly fee, they need to shut down Apollo and create a new app

> Part because I don't think Putin is suicidal, or that stupid.

I would have agreed with this at the start of the war..but I have no idea what gain he can ever get here short of riding it out to 2025 and hoping that a change in politics in America will change the game for him. Even then, I would not be shocked to see the EU step up in their place. If Russia will overrun Ukraine, they will overrun anyone.

They are not gaining meaningful ground and the west is further uniting; NATO is at their doorstop in Finland now, a massive failure, any surrender in Ukraine ends with Ukraine joining NATO. The EU needs Russia to know that the buck stops there.
Rumors state Putin is surrounded by yes men and terrified. Media keeps hearing reports of cancer; he may be dying already. He has portrayed himself as brute and strong, gaining ground still has his legacy trashed for the cost, then goes out on that memory. Might I add that nobody actually knows his mental state. I would not be shocked to see a WMD outcome. There are rumors of chemical weapons being prepped. The only way Russia changes the tides is to cut Ukraine off at the top with Zelenskyy, there's only two ways they bring the fight to Kyiv.
What level of supervision do you employ?
Yeah, I worked with a former cop. He got out because he was getting very jaded from constantly interacting with people at their worst. He was a good guy, the type you’d want to be a cop too.
The actual issue is that there isn't enough social housing. That is public or non-profit housing that is build and rented out at lifetime cost. This would allow cheap enough supply on market pushing the market rates for slightly more upmarket options lower.
Are cats really domesticated?
The _average_ user costs $2.50/mo in API requests. I’m willing to bet people who pay for the “ultra” tier of an app are above average users at best, especially when you consider Apollo also has free users.
You're correct that distinguishing between AI-generated content and human-generated content can be a challenging problem. With the advancements in AI, particularly in natural language generation, it has become increasingly difficult to detect AI-generated text. This poses several challenges in various domains, including online platforms, journalism, and even legal contexts.

The ability to determine the origin of content is indeed a complex issue. However, it's important to note that researchers and developers are actively working on developing methods to identify AI-generated content. There are ongoing efforts in the field of AI ethics and responsible AI development to address this problem.

Some approaches to tackling this issue include developing AI algorithms that can generate AI-generated content, also known as "adversarial AI." These algorithms aim to create AI models that can detect and identify AI-generated text by analyzing patterns, linguistic cues, or statistical properties specific to AI-generated content.

Additionally, researchers are exploring the use of metadata, watermarking, or digital signatures to provide additional information about the origin or authenticity of content. These methods could potentially help in distinguishing between AI-generated and human-generated content.

While it may be a complex problem to solve entirely, the development of techniques and tools to identify AI-generated content is an ongoing area of research. The aim is to create a balance between the benefits of AI-generated content and the need for transparency and trust in online information.

There must have been a stage where Pamela Anderson took up most of the world's storage and bandwidth just from synchronising usenet feeds.

You definitely can. I think a lot of journals have policies that amount to "we don't want to waste time in projects without institutional faith behind them", and if you're doing research with human subjects you'll need institutional approval, but there's nothing stopping you from finding a journal that'll have you and submitting!
This is the fox guarding the henhouse. Establishing a business model for OpenAI is his whole intent, nothing less and nothing more.

He shapes the public image of AI in a way that the only "safe" way of having AI is that it's controlled by megacorporations like MS, Google or Facebook, and that anyone running a model privately at home is a potential criminal.

Also, in the unlikely case that OpenAI has given birth to a malevolent AI that is trying to take over the world right now, then that AI might come to the conclusion that one of the biggest threats to its existence aren't humans themselves, but other AI models created by humans. So "AI must be regulated" can just as well be the product of a rogue AI that doesn't want some other rogue AI to take over control.
