I'm not the person you're replying to

I don't think "abusive" is quite the right word for your tone.

> you're clearly one of the folks who was a problem if that's your opening position ... You comment is v clearly just ignorant.

"Rude", "abrasive" and "confrontational" are probably better fits. And I think you have a God given right to be as obnoxious as you feel is fitting in response to someone you disagree with with. But maybe that's not conducive to a healthy Reddit

Off topic but somewhat related... As of late, I've really enjoyed watching FPV racing drone footage on YouTube. And it's made wonder - if commercial drones currently on the market are capable of this:

My point is that the need for a backend "framework" decreases significantly if you take that burden on the frontend.

And anyone writing a JS/TS backend is likely doing that. So I would expect fewer "frameworks."
all this talk of GR and invariants, not to confuse a mathematical singularity with a gravitational one, at which point GR itself breaks down per the need for a quantum mechanical description. the truth is we don't know what happens within a black hole, and probably never will

I agree with you there, having GraphQL force adherence to a schema is definitely a good thing for a larger team, but smaller teams will probably get bogged down without previous experience
Well that's my point. If these measures were really so effective, then there should have been a strong signal in spite of the other variables, but we didn't see it.
One thing that annoys me about longtermism is that they focus on the survival of human race. I can't tell if this means humans as currently exist or humans as will exist in the future. Because humans will change a lot conquering the galaxy and surviving for a long span of time. How much change is allowed before considered non-human? Do all human descendants count? Does this include modifications or cyborgs? Or uploaded minds?

Most importantly, they don't seem to think of AIs as human descendants. Is it better for human-like AIs to conquer the galaxy, and/or for humans to be trapped on Earth for a million years? If that is the only choice.

> When I have the option of choosing meat from a cow raised and slaughtered ethically I'll take that one every time, but usually I have no idea of the provenance of a particular hamburger patty and that likely does wonders for my peace of mind.

Kobe and Wagyu beef are raised happily and slaughtered ethically in order to be the quality that they are, in theory.

I believe economics certainly plays a role here.

A pound of Wagyu Chuck costs $160 at a nearby grocery store but I can get Prime Chuck from the local big chain grocery store for just $12 (a 13x price difference).
Is it me or a16z completely destroyed their reputation as a reputable VC after the crypto frenzy? I just can't seem to read this with a straight face.

On the other hand, I guess VC is just that. To follow trends, predict trajectories and attempt to make one win out of thousands of investmens. But a16z trying to become a thought leader in AI after all the crypto BS they elevated is very off-putting.

Times are different now. If I was a founder in AI, I would probably be wary of firms that went so hard on crypto. It seems their investment thesis is to monopolize attention around these trends instead of seeking real alignment.

Thinking of CoreData as simply providing the persistence layer is incorrect. It also provides the schema. CoreData’s object graph management and persistence are separate - you can use CoreData without persistence, but you can’t use it without a schema.

The annotations are for defining the CoreData schema – i.e. the necessary piece – rather than relying on a schema definition file as one would prior to SwiftData.

There are additional syntactic niceties for SwiftUI binding, but the annotations are very much an ORM.
Minikanren/Microkanren (which is what core.logic is based off of) actually works really well as library in most languages. Nothing about it really requires macros to be easy to use, just higher order functions.

Maybe he meant “I’ve ever seen written”?
When tokenbro industry invented a very convoluted asset class they expected government to say "Oh, it's really hard to understand and classify it, that's why we won't do it at all. You guys can do whatever you want now.". But actually they said "Oh, it's really hard to understand and classify it, that's why we will have to do it the long and painful way, and you guys can wait for us or not. But if you want to operate before the decision is reached - it's on you if you break the law.".

Apparently a really convoluted business plan is not an inherent human right, if it is masking law infringement in he mean time. Who knew, right?:)
If they brought in some trustworthy skeptical folks with some tools and enough background to know what compelling nothing looks like, and they came out saying, "Oh man. oh wow. I'm trying to come up with another explanation, but it really seems like they have it."
I'd start taking it seriously.
"Guy who seems trustworthy said it's real and he saw the proof" is so very normal, for aliens, ghosts, various religious phenomena.
"Someone was convinced" isn't compelling to me.
"The specific trustworthy non-believers who were given access to the evidence were convinced" would shake me.
That moves it from "might be a delusion or hoax" to "if it's a hoax/fraud, it's a very good one".

Although, "specific physical / recorded evidence made publicly available for study" would be even better if the evidence is strong. Once you're at "if it's a hoax/fraud, the perpetrator has advanced science we don't" it's a world-changing thing; maybe it's not an alien, but whatever it is it's amazing.

It’s exactly this. It’s not just aircraft, either, but aircraft designed to disrupt other aircraft’s instrumentation.

There is a white hat team somewhere in the DoD whose only job is to develop technology and software to make other aviation software instrumentation fail or perform incorrectly. It would be absurd if this were NOT the case.

Same here. We just don't go out to eat much anymore. After the inflated food (and especially drink) prices and the tip and the Employee Living Wage Fee and the Economic Recovery Fee and the "Newsom Hates Businesses" fee (I actually saw that at a rural CA diner), screw it. We've had it with this practice of trying to squeeze everything they can out of customers. These greedy local businesses can sink for all I care.
Your impression of how philosophically rigorous conclusions are reached is completely unnecessary to address; it is simply wrong.

You don't seem to understand that a rationalistic approach isn't going to lead you to conclusions that approximate accuracy about the world. See: philosophy that is over 100 years old as a reference, when people realized that this method of inquiry made no sense.

That being said, brushing aside your basic philosophical misunderstanding, it still follows that the burden of this challenge lies on the people who have outrageously claimed that they have uniquely solved it.

I make no such outlandish claims.

I was formerly at Stringify, which was a home automation app with 70+ integrations supporting 600+ devices. We were acqui-hired and decommissioned.

In my current role, I have met with several large tech companies over the past few months - and this seems to be exactly what they want - an easy way to integrate lots of third party devices into their own app(s). I guess Stringify was just a bit too early (2014-2017).

The consumer IoT space has been getting worse in the past 5 years. Companies used to provide open APIs. Then, just an IFTTT integration instead. Then, just an Alexa/GH integration instead.

Neat product and I wish you the best of luck!

It looks promising.

I like the way each algorithm is explained with minimal example and demo images.

I'm looking for such a lightweight vision lib to embed simple image manipulation programs on tiny ESP32-CAM boards.

OpenCV seems too heavy to integrate on such small devices.

So far, I've been able to develop simple image processing programs with CImg[1] (simple filtering, image cropping, adding text).

I'll try to spend some time exploring this SOD lib, thank you for sharing.

He could have been driven to crackpottery also.

Consider this hypothetical: A person in intelligence knows something you would rather didn't get out, but you suspect there's a chance they will leak it. Maybe they have a personality that leads you to believe they can't in good conscience keep that secret, or maybe you're just callous and paranoid, doesn't really make a difference.

One thing you could do is convince them of something completely ridiculous that no one will take seriously. Even easier if there is a large existing community of nutters that already believe that (possibly you manufactured that too, just for such an occasion). Put on some little shows, make sure they see some documents they "weren't supposed to", and when they've bought into it enough have someone all but confirm it to them in person.

Then, if they're in a leaking mood, they'll discredit themselves for you.
To the former, curious people with an interest in how and why the world came to be as it is.

To the latter, obviously "it" has improved, but ecosystem effects make certain changes very difficult and expensive to coordinate and what we see here is the scars from that process.

Everything you see in the world grew out of things that came before, and was made by fallible people working with limited time, energy, and perspective.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised someone with a three letter handle wouldn't already recognize this. Surely you have been around here for a while.
It's the perfect grift. If the DoD denies having evidence then they are hiding something. If they show you the evidence they possess then they are hiding stuff anyway. The grifter gets payback/attention in either case because it is all indisputable and unprovable. Legally you are untouchable because the proof for or against is unobtainable. The X-Files poster says it all "I want to believe."
And they have to want to
lol ... you are assuming aliens think like humans. Its almost impossible to tell what aliens consider "baddest mfers" or "insane tech and research".

You’re right on all fronts. I’ll add that there’s a human element to both the plant and meat consumption story: in both cases, harvesting and slaughtering, the dirty work is often done by migrant workers with very little enforced legal protections. They work in terrible conditions, for low pay.
The fundamental issue is that people really have no intuition as to how unfathomably gigantic space is.

Traveling Mars to Earth would require some decent tech. Traveling from the next star over requires some mind-bending tech. An entity traveling from the next galaxy over would necessarily be in possession of just some truly incomprehensible technology and would probably exist on spatial and temporal scales that just cannot be loaded into our ape brains via our sensory organs.

I may be missing something but where is the "world" in the article?
To an alien without our particular brand of 21st century capital ethics, I'm not sure that the US is winning Civilization Earth.
Man, cuttlefish will not be happy.
Gerganov was prioritizing collaboration with 4chan who raided his GitHub to demand a change written by a transgender woman be reverted. There was so much hate speech and immaturity thrown around (words like tranny troon cucking muh model) that it's a real embarrassment (to those of us deeply want to see local models succeed) that one of the smartest guys working on the problem was taken in by all that. You can't run a collaborative environment that's open when you pander to hate, because hate subverts communities; it's impossible to compromise with anonymous trolls who harass a public figure over physical traits about her body she can't change.

You don't have to take my word on it. Here are some archives of the 4chan threads where they coordinated the raid. It went on for like a month. https://archive.is/EX7Fq

If you read these threads and see how nasty these little monsters are, you can probably imagine how Gerganov must have felt. He was probably scared they'd harass him too, since 4chan acts like he's their boy. I wouldn't even be surprised if he's one of them. Plus it was weak leadership on his part to disappear for days, suddenly show up again to neutral knight the situation (https://justine.lol/neutral-knight.png) by telling his team members they're no longer welcome, and then going back and deleting his comment later. It goes to show that no matter how brilliant you are at hard technical skills, you can still be totally clueless about people.
Eh its more so that the entire ecosystem is built on CUDA. I don't think most developers would care or even notice if you swapped out CUDA for something that'll work seamlessly with the existing Python libraries. Sadly such an alternative doesn't exist and probably won't exist.
I was doing some research on facial recognition for a job where we were considering its use. I came across examples of sentiment analysis being used at Walmart and Target. They have big and conspicuous cameras in every one of their stores now. Most people assume it is for shoplifting mitigation, which it is. But that is not all. They can use it to track individual customer's paths through the store and then use cameras at the checkout to analyze your facial expression and rank your mood. They use this data to optimize their store layouts.

The other use case was at high-end retail stores. Places like Luis Vuitton, Hermes, etc. They have facial recognition to log high spenders. If you drop 10k at Coach and then go down the street to Valentino their security system will recognize you and highlight you as a VIP customer. A specialized customer assistant then comes out to give you personal attention, maybe to invite you to the private shopping experience.

I learned about these in 2017 I believe. Most non-technical people who I've told about this think it is some conspiracy theory and they often don't believe it. For some reason people are scared of the government but they remain totally docile or willfully ignorant in the face of corporate use.
I think your argument falls short when we consider the compulsion that drives most onto these metaphorical cattle trucks at rush hour in the first place.

The employment industry in our prevailing economic structure demands punctuality, often through crowded, uncomfortable and frankly, degrading means of transportation. This perceived "choice" is not a luxury but an enforced necessity, much like the bovine passenger being shipped off to slaughter, with the only distinction being, we humans "chose" this.

One could argue that the transportation network isn't able to offer comfortable and safe transit, yet it is more a matter of priorities than abilities. The ability to provide such transport exists, but the political and economic will, sadly is not in abundance.

Is it not curious that a society which can show empathy for the transportation of its livestock struggles to extend the same basic courtesy to its own kind? After all, are we not more than just cattle to the abattoir of capitalism?
I thought the whole deal with machine learning was that inference is easy, but training is hard.

So creating the models from the data is what takes the billions of transistors on many cards.

running the models doesn't need so much hardware.

also... with respect to powerful processing - I haven't seen graphics cards tapering off. There's a ravenous demand for better graphics hardware each year. For every technique that is commoditized, the next year there's a new way of doing things that is better. I remember things like lighting, or realistic hair, or physics or whatever making a new graphics card better. Why wouldn't AI stuff be any different?
why is it always the navy pilots that always see the aliens, and not the commercial pilots. is it because navy pilots are more likely to be flying at some combination of high speed, bad weather conditions, or darkness that tends to make ordinary occurrences look more mysterious?
I think people who speak no english don't end on Reddit in the first place. It had very few traction in France as a far as I know, and facebook groups would be the go to places for most people.

So yes, members of /r/france and /r/de read and probably participate the other subs as well, and the whole point of /r/france and the variations is less to speak french but to have local discussions gate-keeped by the language.

Same for Japanese communities, there's massive subs for anime an Japan life, and there will be small niche subs in Japanese only to isolate from the bigger group and paradoxically have a less filtered bubble.

It's a valid point. The proxies are built via Cloudflare Workers, which I do have a fair level of confidence in regarding scalability. Care was given to ensure that those worker's backing services are also scalable, but I admit that there would certainly be a scale of usage that would eventually be too much. In that event, Till would re-examine its architecture.
