I would not say artificial. An individual with whom I work spoke a common word, with respect, and despite being a respectable term for another person, a term agreed by all parties as acceptable except the offended party, the accused was contacted by HR and advised to no longer use that term.

There are other anecdotes of course but this is one example that even the best intentions the accuser is never told their position is untenable.

No. These new tools cannot provide leverage. They just produce a street pizza (1) based on the inputs they are given. Whether the street pizza is any good depends on the quality of the ingredients and how discerning the consumer is.

ACM certificates themselves can be had in any region (and you can use them for stuff like ELBs), but since the Cloudfront control plane is in us-east-1, if you want Cloudfront (and IIRC, also if you want custom domain names for an S3 bucket, but don't quote me on that) you'll have to create an additional certificate in us-east-1.

The "walking away" definitely fits recent actions in the last couple of weeks in SF, per my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36314386

It's true they're "not dumb" - the "systemically important banks" know they can take a chance on a sectoral or cyclical collapse like this, because the government won't let them all fail together. The downside is capped, but the leveraged upside arbitrarily larger.

While wiping out SVB's shareholders, the government launched special programs (like "BTFP") to help all SVB's peers with artificially-cheap money requiring less collateral than ever before. That's a stealth & incremental bail-out – which could paper-over the problems, or worsen them, depending on other economic developments.

If commercial real estate broadly crashes, those banks will unload these properties they don't really want – as even the commercial real-estate pros couldn't make them profitable – at potentially-severe discounts to the unpaid loan amounts. If these discounts are anywhere near 50%, then "pennies on the dollar" would be a fair description. I guess time will tell.

I don't know; maybe there are plenty of people like this. But I think there are many (more?) of us who are not OK with these things but feel powerless to do anything about them.

And that includes those of us who do appreciate America's hegemony and the relative safety and prosperity that it affords us, but who think that doing things like spying on citizens, bombing weddings, supporting coups, assassinating dissidents, invading and occupying countries for no good reason, torturing (e.g. waterboarding) prisoners, detaining people indefinitely, etc. are both morally wrong and counter-productive toward maintaining our position of power and prosperity and esteem in the world.

Unless it's a small CSV then I would put it in sqlite or something and tell GPT-4 to write a query given the user's question. I have done that before and worked pretty well. Even worked fairly ok with gpt-3.5. You have to give it context like schema etc.

I was even able to get it to output custom-coded embedded Chart.js charts if requested by the user.
Semi-related: if you ever feel the need to report times to a global audience, not only make sure to always report the timezone (even if it is the same as the user's), but also use UTC offsets rather than timezone names.

> If you're living in a place in which you are not happy, with people you don't like,

The epiphany happens when you realize it's probably not the place or the people who are making you unhappy, but yourself and your beliefs.

That's what "wherever you go, there you are" means. It means you can't escape your self and you have to confront who you are no matter where you physically are.

This person is avoidant. That means when his wife did things rather than having an "us vs the problem" mindset, he is looking for the door. That means the woman over time will come to understand that she's not good enough, or there's an expiration on their time together. This raises the stakes for even small disagreements and creates a self fulfilling prophecy that ends the relationship.

So he hurt her by not being attached, and she acted in ways that made him unhappy as a result.

It was him ultimately that created his own unhappiness.
That is an EXTREMELY silly comparison, like it doesn't make any sense at all.

It's also a lot easier to teach kids than adults. Besides logistical things like the ease of pulling a kid around versus an adult, by adulthood a lot of people end up being embarrassed around trying new things, especially ones that require them to be largely undressed and in a strange environment.

As a teenager I ended up carving our a niche among my fellow lifeguard/ swim teachers for myself teaching adult men to swim. I suspect it was their pride stopping them from taking lessons from the (far more prolific) girls, who often times were teaching their kids to swim.

I wonder how much of these changes are pushed by the local LLM shift we've seen recently. I would've expected them to totally focus on GPT-4 updates, but it's nice that we're getting 3.5 improvements.

It's pretty clear that there's a large demand for much cheaper, if weaker LLMs. I'll need to test the "more reliable steerability via the system message" feature, but GPT-3.5's largely monotonic tone and lack of response to the system message was one of its largest weaknesses imo. I'm all for ggml and LLaMa, but there's almost zero need for me to invest in hardware/expensive GPUs (or /hour options) if 3.5 is this cheap. Only downsides I can see are data privacy and OpenAI's "safety" restrictions.

Function calls seem amazing, too. No need to use tokens commanding GPT about its ability to do function calls. I need to test it out though.
I‘m not sure about them, they seem more like a research + consulting shop than working on products

Y'all could totally eat Meta's lunch and train an open LLM with all the innovations that have come since LLaMA's release. Other startups are trying, but they all seem bottlenecked by training time/resources.

This could be where the next Stable Diffusion 1.5 comes from.

This is a cool idea. Something a potential customer might want to know is how much of your time do they get. E.g. are you full-time on their project? (e.g. 40 hours per week). Or is your time shared with other clients.
~30GHz signalling over the PAM4 "flits" introduced in 6.0. Wild. As for when:

> A compliance program for the specification, in turn, should be up and running in 2027. The compliance programs are the functional barometer for hardware availability, as compliance testing and certification is effectively necessary before any large-scale commercial hardware using the new spec can ship. And with few exceptions, these tend to take 2 to 2.5 years to put together. All of which is to say that the first commercial PCIe 7.0 products are not expected until at least 2027 – five years from now – underscoring that there is still a lot of work to go for PCIe 7.0 following this initial draft.

I'd been kind of in a panic that NVlink is up to 900GBps. But 128 lanes of 6.0 is already 1TBps. What's missing, so far, is a way to connect things well with this fabric. No one is talking about it, but hopefully CXL also forms a good host to host fabric too, enabling some unaided/builtin high speed connectivity.
The customer is always right about what they want.

Definitely agree about prompts -- for MedQA [0] I ended up building up a prompt around 300 words long to get a collection of results I was aiming for. I'm still not sure about the best way to go about building a "stable" lengthy prompt that can maintain a predictable output even after adding to it; my approach was mainly via trial-and-error experimentation.

> FP is much simpler to learn, so much better suited for newcomers.

I can't see how this is the case. Assignment is just one tiny piece of learning how to program, and is almost never a pain point after a small amount of instruction.

Imperative programming is easier to learn because you simply write out the steps that you want the computer to take, and the computer takes them. FP requires much much more abstract thinking that is often difficult for newcomers to grasp.

The main exception that I see is when someone who has a very deep mathematics education. Graduate level math folks seem to more easily grasp FP concepts from my experience. Almost everyone else seems to grasp imperative programming easier.
Am I right that you are talking only about quick creation of something new and not about long term support of created system?

Yep, I considered that switching to GitHub Actions would _theoretically_ eliminate the need for disaster recovery for CI/CD (since the handling of disasters is out of your hands) but in practice their SLA is far worse than just running CodePipeline in a single region.
I don't believe it's true. I was working on one of the biggest AWS services and we always deployed to small regions first.

Don't forget the amazing track record of BCG leading companies into bankruptcy. Yes BCG consulted for Toy's R Us. Maybe there is more too it...

There is a conspiracy theory BCG is tied to SHF to lead companies into bankruptcy with help of negative news narratives and help from MM to internalize buy orders and place sell orders on lit markets driving stock prices down.

My employer lets customers choose which of our supported regions to run in and exempts cloud provider outages from our SLA (we’re on the hook for staying up for single AZ outages, but not multi AZ or region outages). We provide tools to help customers replicate their data so they can be multi-region or even multi provider if they want to.
Once upon a time, Marty McFly went back in time and people didn't know what a re-run was.

Fast forward back to the future and it's now 2023 and I ask my 15 year old niece if she knows what a re-run is and she doesn't have a clue.

It's wild to think that things that dominated every day life to the point that not knowing about them would be comical in a mainstream movie have now become unknown again. She also didn't know about yellow pages or AOL cds, but she knew of VCRs and has seen but never used a floppy disk.

These organisms dominated life and we didn't even know they existed. I wonder what AOL CDs existed in the 1800s or 1700s or 300s or -1700s. We see their tools and clay tablets and jewelry and crap, but what games or toys or other things are just gone after being ubiquitous?

Anyway, it's neat to learn about a whole world that once existed on this same planet.

He's saying that he wants a fair deal where he can make money running his app. If Reddit has a good-faith belief that he can do $20M in revenue on his app, then they should be happy to buy the app for $10M and use it to drive $20M in revenue that goes to Reddit. In-context this seems pretty clear. Also in-context it seems pretty clear that Reddit is aware that their sudden price increase has made the Apollo app's value negative with no chance to keep it going.

I'd be happy if there were a law that every product's package or advertising must prominently display the highest level parent company. I think it would align with your suggestion of banning white labels and DBA.

I remember hearing of a story of one foods company that decided put their company name prominently on all their grocery brands, and people got mad because they saw how little choice they actually had. The company then redid their packaging, emphasizing the brand name, and shrinking the company name down to fine print, and the people were happy. I can not verify this story, tried searching for it, but found nothing other than that we have even more consolidation now than ever before.
I wonder if some of the bad Amazon experiences are due to counterfeit/fakes, and/or the product lines that are made in china? Their products vary in materials and country of manufacture.

I think they're all (even the vintage ones) subject to risk of shattering into pointy shards if they break, though. They're not magic. :)

Believe it or not: fairness.

The great thing about a naked short is that you don't have to be rich to do it. You get cash for free, which you can use in any other investment. When the short closes, you keep the profits. And if you were right about the short, you cover the short for less than the money you received.

You can be rewarded for being smart. You don't need to be rich to start.

You can also massively bone yourself and go from "not rich" to "destitute" in very short order. Especially those people who aren't all that smart and are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. It's "fair" in PT Barnum's sense: it's morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their money.

Still, you asked what the benefit is. The benefit is that it brings in all of the minds. Economists believe that the market functions best when you reward people for making intelligence choices, and the dumb ones filter themselves out pretty quick. This lowers the barrier to entry for a large class of smart people who aren't already rich.

Ah, thanks. I wasn't aware that Apollo was already a paid app. Clearly, I'm not a mobile user, much less familiar with the app as well. I browse Reddit mostly on the desktop, via RSS feed.

This sounds like the battery can be charging while using the headset, right? Which imo makes the 2 hour battery life much more understandable – if you're stationary in the device most of the time then you only have to rely on the battery when you move. If you can plug in to charge when you're back at your desk/couch, it's not really a limiting factor (for the use cases Apple is pursuing).
