It’s actually better at math than it is at arithmetic, and I think this discussion has been about arithmetic. I could make up something about how math is more like language than arithmetic is. I suspect the hypothesis that math tests tend to have a lot of stereotypical problem structures from a shared curriculum is also relevant. But who knows at this point?

Anyway, to convince me it’s good at arithmetic is not complicated…just be good at arithmetic! That is do it correctly, every time, for any size number.
Machine learning would probably be the simpler API. If you can speak Linear Algebra, you're most of the way there.

Just anecdotal, but we're perfectly capable of owning in the place we recently moved (Portland), but are renting because of market uncertainty. I'd rather miss out and have homes go 100 up than miss out and have them go 300 down right after purchasing. We're happy to rent for a bit and wait it out.

I'd guess more generally people are playing that game purely based on borrowing rates -- if they think they'll be even a bit lower in 12 months, it might make financial sense to wait.
AMD almost pulled it off but software made Nvidia take the lead again. AI being CUDA dependent really gave them an edge, in both the consumer and business market.

Sure, ifError rejects, but I don't think the behavior here is surprising or strange at all. This is exactly how one would want it to work. If you wanted to await it, you could do that.

Is the concern you're raising that people may accidentally orphan floating promises? That can be addressed with linter rules. [1][2]

The point of the patent system is the exact opposite of what you claim.

To get a patent you must provide the full details of the invention, then your competitors can look at that patent and develop new systems that might be superior. This even applies to "software patents" (the different compression systems to beat LZ, or new versions of arithmetic coding - the most commonly derided "software patents" often seem to process/business patents rather than actual software).

This is the idea at least. In the absence of patent protection you get other problems: say you spent a year of your life coming up with a thing to do X, if you ship it some company can turn around and copy it without having to have invested any effort or money in the development, so can then also undercut you. "trade secrets" (an actual legal concept) doesn't protect you unless they steal the details from your company, but simply buying a product and reverse engineering (including decompiling) it is fine.

The problem is that the patent office allows patents that don't describe how to make the thing. That's where you get the BS style "X but on a computer", "X but with the internet", "X but with AI", ... or "compress data using some mechanism".

The patent office should just be requiring exact and explicit details in a patent application, so that you can read the patent and implement it. If you can't do that, the patent shouldn't be granted. (People periodically suggest "require an example implementation", but that for many fields there are huge costs involved in actually constructing a device so suddenly only people with a tonne of money can get patent protection)
> There's nothing inherently wrong with philanthropy

Why not? To be able to "give" you first need to accumulate way beyond what you need to attend to your material needs. Accumulating such wealth means taking more resources than you need in the first place.

It's still fully within the scarcity and separation mindset of capitalism.

Some 15 years ago, textbooks taught that multi level perceptrons (fully connected feed forward network) with one hidden layer were sufficient because they were universal approximators. That thought kinda held back the field for a long time. Going against that dogma was so revolutionary that new paradigm was given its own name: deep learning.

Just because you can find some gotcha counterexample LLM's struggle with doesn't invalidate that we've come a very long way.

Honest question, if you're locked in to AWS why not just use the CDK?

I've used Terraform and Pulumi in the past and the "platform agnostic" is only true for trivial builds. Once you get into medium sized infra you're writing so much AWS specific code it stands better to go 1st party.

I can't speak for GCP, but this is what happened to us. We kept fighting 3rd party code we ended up going CDK. While there are still issues, there were less issues. Cloudformation manages the state under the hood anyway so we're all just stuck wrapping that sucker, even in the CDK.

BBEdit is a big misfit for me and how I use editors. It’s great at transforming text and zillion of other features but I get my work done in VSCode or PyCharm. My true preference was Atom. RIP

It's more than likely anonymized, aggregated data that mostly just counts how many times a given picture was visited globally. If it's over X times, by at least Y unique devices and can be accessed publicly (I.e. Random Microsoft server can access it), then they probably upscale it via AI and redirect future navigations to their version of the picture.

Such simple heuristic also circumvents most (or all) the concerns about medical images.

Altruism really has been getting its name dragged through the mud recently huh
High-volume single-writer + WAL mode is perfectly doable for a lot of applications, but you have to keep the concurrency model in mind. I think of it more like a really advanced data structure library than a "database" in that sense.

An old product I worked on (which is still around) used (still uses?) SQLite for storing filesystem blocks that came from the paired backup software. A single database only contained the blocks backed up from a single disk (based on its disk UUID.) So, this is a perfect scenario since there's only one writer at a time because there's only one device and one backup on that device at a time. We could write blocks to SQLite fast enough to saturate the IOPS of the underlying device and filesystem containing the database. This was over 10 years ago. Very practical and durable and way better than anything we could do in house.

Today, you can definitely do GB/s on NVMe class hardware with the right pragma settings and the right workload. So for certain classes of multi-tenant solutions I think it's not so bad, you can just naturally have a single writer to a single data store (or can otherwise linearize writes) and the raw performance will be excellent and more than enough.

I don't even write python, really, but I've been interfacing with llama.cpp and whisper.cpp through it recently because it's been most convenient. Before that I was using nodejs libraries that just wrap those two cpp libs.

I guess since these models are meant to be run "client side" or "at the edge" or whatever you want to call it, it helps if they can be neutrally used with just about any wrapper. Using them from Javascript instead of Python is sort of huge for moving ML off the server and into the client.

I haven't really dipped my toes into the space until llama and whisper cpp came along because they dropped the barrier extremely low. The documentation is simple, and excellent. The tools that it's enabled on top like text-generation-webui are next level easy.

git clone. make. download model. run.

That's it.

1. Qualcomm will also have access to TSMC’s 3nm tech. Given that the Vision Pro will launch with M2 in 6 months, it might not get M3 for 1.5 year. That’s plenty of time for Qualcomm to catch up.

2. Again, I’m not convinced that the R1 is special. I think other companies will easily duplicate it.

3. Apple doesn’t usually go around suing other huge large tech companies. They won’t sue Meta because they have a ton of AR and VR patents too.

4. Chinese companies make some insane hardware. I think they’re much better than Meta at making hardware. And they’ve already demonstrated some very advanced AR devices.
The great red herring which divides ordinary people on the left and right has always been the "culture wars" - particularly political correctness/DEI/wokeness/whatever the flavor is depending on your decade and ideological leaning.

Elite Democrats, Republicans and members of the capital class are very experienced at fanning the flames of that divide so it continues to distract the working class from a historic multi-decade privatization and consolidation of wealth which these real estate acquisitions are just the next leg of.

America has fallen for that trick hook, line and sinker quite frankly, more so than seemingly any other country on earth

What sorts of tax policies might preferentially disincentivize home buying by investment funds?
I have a related story:

Around the year 2000 I was working operations in the NOC for WebTV (then owned by Microsoft). For those who don't know, WebTV was a little set-top box with a modem which would dial up on demand and provide a very basic web/chat/email experience on the TV. The box would call a 1800 number to figure out its own phone number, then re-dial on a local toll-free number with a local sub-contracted ISP.

One of the services we had would periodically send a UDP datagram out to online clients to let them know they had new email. The settop box would then light up a little indicator light.

Of course, sometimes the client would hang up. The IP might get allocated to a PC dialup user. And sometimes, that PC dialup user might be running a firewall that was popular back then, called BLACK ICE DEFENDER.

BLACK ICE DEFENDER had all these (not so) cool features, the kind that semi-technical people love. For example, it would log ATTACKS. What are ATTACKS? Unrecognized traffic, of course.

Sometimes the little UDP datagram for our "you have mail" service would be delivered to a PC user running BLACK ICE DEFENDER, which would register it as an ATTACK. It would then ever so helpfully look up the ARIN contact information to see who sent the errant datagram -- which had the NOC phone number. It would then tell the user "THIS ENTITY IS HACKING YOU" and imply that contacting them would be productive. Yes, you could pick up a phone and call the Microsoft NOC. Back then, the internet was a smaller place.

My job was to check the NOC voicemail, which was reliably filled with very angry people. Often they would threaten that they've reported us to the FBI or somesuch, or that it confirmed some conspiracy theory or another. We played the good ones on speakerphone for entertainment.

Good times. Doesn't happen anymore.
I had a few bottles of beer that I was drinking, but after some time even kept in an air conditioned room, they did spoil eventually.

For sure. This was also the era that labor journalism died and media shifted to being pretty much relentlessly pro-capital.
People will always find some reason to complain. As it's said, no good deed goes unpunished. He is not a rich guy using poor people as props. Rather, his entertainment value allowed him to become rich while benefiting those who he helps.
This is a misinterpretation, IMHO.

You are assuming from the attendee list that this is about these banks and super funds outright owning the housing asset whereas a more reasonable interpretation is about those organisations funding construction and financing of the assets for private ownership.
You're right, and it's why projects like the ONNX runtime exist to unify vendor-specific AI accelerators. Covering the basics isn't too hard.

What GP seems to be asking for is an open CUDA replacement, which is kinda like asking someone to fund a Free and Open Source cruise ship to compete with Carnival for you. You'll get somewhere with some effort, luck and good old human intuition, but Nvidia can outspend you 10:1 unless you have funding leverage from FAANG.

Unfortunately, most of the more politically organised or influential people like things that make property work as an investment. This means they fire up and defeat measures against it. I can't see a way out in Australia.
Did you factor out appreciation?

Because gambling on single family appreciation has been a great winning move for decades now, but if you factor out that almost all SFRs have negative cash-flow.

Well, they have negative cash flow but people endure that because of the leveraged appreciation.
Generally because people don’t have the funds to start up and then they need to pay out those investors.

I'm curious what your goal is here. It seems like you're disagreeing with me by saying "look, Mr. Beast is equivalent to/better than these other bad things, right?" I don't find your particular applications of whataboutism and false dichotomies terribly convincing or at all relevant to the discussion.

Like, you understand that "these other things are bad too" and "it's this or draftkings ads" are not substantive or relevant arguments, right?

This is just completely incorrect. There is no export here. Air India is not receiving an engine (or its components) and then giving them to a Russian entity. The mere movement of an item from one geographic location to another is not necessarily sufficient to cause an export, as any "competent attorney" could tell you, as opposed to a person who wants to sound confident while inventing facts on an Internet forum.
By bad investment I mean bad by the standards of an investment: it’s not something you’d buy because you expect appreciation. I don’t mean that you would expect it to lose value (beyond the usual depreciation of a physical asset).

Good point though, thanks for giving me a chance to clarify.

My own experience was with the 3D-enhanced version of Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, specifically. It is possible that the equivalent version for Mechwarrior 2 was more stable. It's also possible my 3D drivers of the time were the cause of the issues I had, but Mercenaries was sufficiently buggy in all sorts of other ways (even the DOS version loved to crash) that I always just blamed the game.

I did digital signature work for an ARINC spec, which sounds a bit like OOXML, and I have a slightly different take, although to be clear I spent about six months getting a prototype to function, and three more years making it performant and bullet proof.

A couple years ago I wanted to link the spec to my resume and found it was not freely available. Now I’d like to see a copy to verify whether in retrospect I missed anything.

Among the decisions I made:

- provide no metadata until the signature has verified.
- implement your own file extraction logic, use the same logic for locating elements and assets
- don’t touch the file system until the signature has verified
- implement metadata functions using the same code used for locating elements
- use prefetch for xml namespaces, disable network requests
- implement a wrapper around getElementByID, throw an error if multiple elements are ever found (including searching from the root element).
- only extract files and elements that were signed
- canonicalize paths
- implement multiple warnings for impending cert expiration
- be very, very careful if you allow multiple signatures
- watch out for one team demanding requirements that prevent their counterparts from operating
- get used to saying, “no”, but offering workarounds

The craft beer industry used to look down on cans as inferior and only for cheap beer. But I think much of that was just an image thing, likely resulting from prohibitively high costs for small breweries to can their beer in the past. Slowly craft came around to cans and canning lines and can labeling options became affordable.

Also the new school breweries 10 years ago like Trillium, Treehouse, Other Half all came on the scene with 16oz cans and sticker labels as well as the new NEIPA style that became so hot. I think that did a lot to improve the image of cans among consumers. Especially newer craft fans.
