Yeah, important to remember that the old Wifi module for the Arduino was like 20-30 bucks and was basically just an AT modem that still needed a host Arduino. Barely anybody ever used them that I saw. The original ESP-01 for a couple bucks was a very exciting product for hobbyists just as a serial-to-wifi adapter even with minimal English documentation, and then it went bonkers when they released Arduino support and a package with enough IO to do useful things. Espressif has also been pretty nice to the hobbyist community in general once they realized what they had done.
Today, chatGPT can do zero percent 0% of the actual programming I do. I use chatGPT to find a library function or to find command line options and other simple stuff.

But actual programming? ChatGPT can only write completely trivial scaffolding code. I don’t understand how people get a significant productivity boost out of it when chatGPT can’t do design, can’t do algorithms, can’t do concurrency, can’t do architecture. I like chatGPT but I don’t see how it can even double my productivity.
Consider porting the number to something like Google voice or jmp.chat and get a random number you don't care about for your SIM.
I think it's a pretty sweet concept. I saw you guys are hiring an AI engineer. That's basically the main thing that would hold me back, I want copilot or better. It makes coding much simpler.

VSCode has a massive ecosystem of plugins, that's hard to go without. However, they're not all that necessary. AI assistance and SSH (remote into a server and have the IDE take on that machine, so browse the files, access the terminal, etc.) are the main two requirements for any IDE for me.

Your number is exactly correct (1.4kg/day) [1] but you can easily do it without oil as they did in the study (there are a lot of waking hours in the day and a lot of good fatty foods.) Alcohol (and some medication) of course makes both storage and consumption easier.

I don't disagree with your linked comment. But my personal experience, not to mention the high level of hospitalisation and mortality at the time which resulted in the first UK lockdown, disagrees with your "Vanilla strains were milder than beta/delta." statement, if "Vanilla" was the variant circulating in the UK in March 2020.
I don't know about Guardian specifically, but marketing spend is a big part of what the gambling companies do: e.g. GVC spent about £500million on marketing in 2019 https://entaingroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/GVC-2019-...

> Technology has been displacing jobs for decades. Life is about learning and adapting. As long as you commit to adapting quickly, learning new skills as necessary and being open to different types of jobs, you should be fine.

That seems to be a contradiction of your story. Your dad was lucky to be able to retire. He did not adapt. He had to quit and he got low end job.

Its easy to say adapt re-skill, innovate but to a lot of people it might not be an option.

Here's an interesting Economist article on the same subject:

https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2023/06/07/...
There was a period centered around the late '90s where new architectures were a dime a dozen, as access to fabs opened up, and small companies with an idea hoped to become the next Intel.

Anyway, ESP32-C3 is RISC-V, and I suspect they won't do any more new Xtensa cores.

Programming is the reification of making decisions -- plus a lot of shiny fashionable chrome. That is, most of it is about thoroughly understanding the meaning of a process, and getting it right.

LLMs don't understand meanings at all. They are anti-compressors. If the information content of a message is how unpredictable it is (and therefore how uncompressable), LLMs generate the most predictable, least information-dense output from your prompt.

So: focus on meaning and decision making. Set LLMs to do fluff and shiny bits.

You’re assuming it’s used as a teleprompter. More likely it’s a conversation guide.
Very cool, running it on the project I have open immediately started barfing at me over using 'return' in quite a few spots.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As you said, in the last 6 months you use ChatGPT instead of outsourcing. What are the roles/positions that you don’t need anymore? In other words, what is the job that ChatGPT does for you now?
Seems to me like you've become good at programming in (with?) chatgpt. Nice skill.

Entitlements untangled: The modern way to software monetization
Not true anymore. With major tourist destinations such as St Paul's there's sufficient draw for weekend tourist traffic to keep shops and restaurants open. Some may be closed but it's not the wasteland this comment implies. Also true for Canary Wharf, the other financial centre in London
Flooding the housing market with credit is only an issue because there isn't enough housing so prices are demand driven rather than supply driven.

Sort of? It's more complicated than "get highest share price possible as quickly as possible." Plenty of companies out there are focussed on long-term, stable growth.
> And today, no Russian nuclear weapons are targeted at an American city.

That's such an odd statement for the White House to make. I have to assume that they meant that on a political level. Nobody was interested in MAD anymore at the time and nuclear weapons suddenly felt like relics of a bygone era. It's not like they went to every installation and removed the targeting data in whatever form.

Managing pricing changes at the code level, without appropriate abstractions or mechanisms, can quickly devolve into a tangled mess, resulting in more complexities than anticipated.

I’ve seen it too many times. As a result, engineering teams spend way too much time for every update in the pricing model. And companies can’t make as many changes as they’d like to, leaving money on the table.

If you’re not working with entitlements yet, you should take a look at them.

Entitlements help you cleanly decouple the pricing model from the application logic, enabling swifter and smoother changes to the pricing model, enable experimentation, and even allow GTM teams to play with the packaging without talking to developers at all.

I haven’t found many technical in-depth guides on that topic yet, and we’ve spent the past 2 years on building the best entitlement infrastructures for SaaS needs.

So, in a matter of sharing, here’s everything we know about them.
Do you think that the voters of Trump are far right? Some of them are, sure. The success of Trump was due to the failure of the Democrats, not the popularity of far right.
My favorite kind of pedantry is pedantry that's naive - on like day 1 of topology 101 you learn that the "dot" product is an inner product and every inner product naturally induces a metric so every inner product space is a metric space (with the induced metric).
I don't really feel like defending poetry, I don't even use it. But in this particular case, I think the wheel format and the way people try to host it on their servers and the entitled researchers who act like 80 year olds and "just want things done" instead of taking a little bit of time to learn to work with their tools are to blame. None of this exists with the cargo infra.

I think they already borrowed from one another quite extensively. As they're now both mature I would be surprised if there was much between them.
With apologies to La Fontaine:

One winter the ants, nibbling on their stores during a break, ask themselves whatever happened to the grasshopper that was singing and dancing all summer long. "Probably got what he deserved", they conclude, and return to their toil, proud for being the types of creatures who know the value of hard labour.

Then one bright spring day the grasshopper drives up, en belle compagnie, with the top down and the radio singing about someplace called « Marly-Gomont ».

"Yo, the ants, how's it going? Working hard or hardly working?"

After a little conversation, it turns out the grasshopper went to Paris last fall and recently scored a recording contract; he's just returning briefly to show Chloé and Lea the sort of middle-of-nowhere bled where he grew up (influences and all that), as a diversion on their road trip down to Monaco...
Don't get me wrong - websites like this still have a lot of value. My overall point is the assumption that you need A100/H100 to make productive use of LLMs isn't accurate. You can go a very long way with a single 3090 in a workstation for $1000 (as frequently noted on HN, including this thread, r/localLLamA, etc). Or you can rent nearly anything you want on various platforms (most of the consumer RTX stuff is usually only available on platforms like Vast.ai). Whatever works for you in your situation but the somewhat common belief (especially in the more mainstream press) that you need at least 40-80GB of VRAM to do anything LLM related is flat out wrong.

The other benefit I'd add with buying your own GPUs is availability. They are yours and always yours, in a commercial application with deadlines, etc it's a real risk to depend on being able to get the necessary on-demand GPU compute on various cloud platforms at any point in time. There is nothing worse than logging into a cloud provider console and seeing "no availability" when you really need to get something done. For me personally this is what pushed me to buying vs cloud because I ended up in scenarios where Vast.ai was the only option left and I haven't had the best experiences with Vast.ai in terms of reliability and performance (I'm pretty sure many of the benchmarks are gamed, although I'm not sure how).

Speaking of performance, I've also seen very real issues with virtualized CPUs, what I assume is network attached storage, etc feeding data to high end GPUs fast enough (again, noted elsewhere in this thread). In benchmarking that I've done with various cloud providers unless you go for the much more expensive options on GCP and elsewhere with directly attached NVMe storage a single NVMe drive and decent CPU in a workstation will run circles around many of these cloud providers.

Which kind of excuse is that? They are just at bad as the supervisor covering this up. And for personal gain even.
LOL, I don’t think so. If LLM’s fail, they will have to fail on their own. probably programmers will get more competition from non-programmer humans leveraging LLM’s. but we have been saying everyone should learn to code for a while. Job on its way to being accomplished.
Strongly disagree that the new Doom games have better gameplay than the old ones. Every fight is a giant monster trap. IMO it showcases the worst aspect of the original doom games.
Yeah, ok, so just the basic "America bad," view of things.
Yes and no. There’s a lot of latent ot tacit knowledge about said system that chatgpt can’t ever guess but can bullshit about it a lot, throwing you to nearly endless deadend alleys.

But I agree in a sense , for certain scenarios hiding behind complexity will become less and less of a cover.

Lol, a dozen? There were ABC, NBC and CBS that might (or might not) have all been available in your area. Plus PBS if you counted that. I didn't like Masterpiece Theatre, so just 3 for me.

The largest cities might have had a few independent channels (not networks), but for most of the country, that was it.
Instant Pot PSA…if you haven’t already, cook rice with it.

>The problem here is that doing anything else as a publicly traded company is illegal.

No, it is not. You aren't breaking the law just because your stock price didn't go up.
Jesus, come on. Isn't this just called "paying for a product that you think offers some value"? Do we need to pathologise literally everything?
>It's like apologizing for something that you said as a teenager that was found on social media: the only people asking for the apology don't really care whether or not you apologize.

It's more like apologising for something that you kept doing, since your teenager times, and that you keep doing. In this case at least some people asking for an apology want to see a difference, not just "revving up for a fight".

That said, even not saying your values would be better than lying about them. And worse than lying - lying in an obvious way, that is bound to be interpreted as "you're such braindead trash that we can throw any bullshit on your snouts and you'll eat it".

It's a little different than a kitchen gadget that sits on the countertop, but even Ycombinator got into the game, sort of. In 2013 Ycombinator invested 120k into Pantelligent[0].

I think they tried to change the app to get around the copyright stuff, but in the end they couldn't get around the infringement.

Crypto bros and most crypto companies have no technical talent. In AI, you need to actually offer solutions. In crypto, you just need to lie/shill your way into scams.
The fiduciary duty to promote shareholder value often gets exaggerated in conversations like these.

Board members enriching themselves at the expense of shareholders or trying to turn a for-profit company into a nonprofit are clear violations. Using a business strategy that's arguably not the most profitable one possible is not, nor is prioritizing the long-term success of the company over short-term payouts to current shareholders.
Personally, I don't like it. It is fast but the boiled meat taste is not a worthwhile tradeoff.

Well as with most beliefs, sometimes it's wrong and sometimes it's right.

I don't know anything about your mother's case, and I don’t personally have any experience with the NHS, so I can't say if it would have been appropriate to get a CT earlier in her case. Maybe it would have been.

I do feel that we as doctors can be too rigid in our decision making sometimes, but my thoughts on this are quite nuanced and probably very different from the average layperson's. It's probably also a multi-page writeup, so I won't get into it here.

In general though, CT scans cause cancer in about 1 out of every 1000 cases [1], so if we ordered them on everyone who asked, we could very well cause more cancer than we diagnosed.

In the US, we already have system that is much more patient driven and much more aggressive on testing than most of western Europe, and we still have worse health outcomes.

I agree with your concerns about Chat GPT. Patients want face to face time and I think they deserve that. Unfortunately that's low hanging fruit for C-suite executives to pick at when cutting costs.

It's only four words and I'm not understanding what you're saying here as all of your other comments (including the one I replied to) seem to be very much in agreement with my position.
Regarding your second paragraph.. These headsets right now can only be powered by the resources a big corp can bring to bear. And big tech has a tendency to relentlessly surveil everyone... collecting and hoarding data is the politer term for that.

Given that tendency, the arbitrariness of automated processes that decide whether or not you're banned from an account or platform, and the culture wars, I would be suspicious of consequences down the road from trusting big tech with such intimacy.
They have to act in the interest of the shareholders. Certainly it is more complex than just the stock price. But certainly no shareholder sees an increase in stock price, everything else aside, as against his interest.
Yep, that's exactly the thing. If a random person + GPT makes a programmer equal to me in skill, then me + GPT makes a programmer who's at least 150% of my skill (for some definition of skill), so it's all good.
Judging people and companies on motivations rather than actions is kind of a losing game. You can never really know for sure, and it’s easy to speculate in every direction.

Great summary of the industry. I do want to point out that we actually have the lowest price for H100s: 1.89/hr. Coreweave’s pricing requires long term commitment and you’re comparing our on demand PCIe cloud to their ‘reserved’ h100 cloud. Our reserved H100 + InfiniBand cloud is priced as follows and is the lowest in the world:

$1.89 / hour for 100% upfront

$2.04 / hour for 80% upfront

$2.15 / hour for monthly payment

This is a reason why I believe piracy and DRM evasion are in fact morally correct by default. Imagine if this took place before streaming and record stores pulled CDs because some foreign nation demanded it. The fact that there are multiple avenues to find a particular song today doesn't change the fact that your culture and way of life are being violated. Save your own local copies of everything that matters to you, share with friends, and remember that none of these corporations or countries care about you; you're an ant in their ant farm.
