> I mean imagine if people start to use this to replace excel. Shudder

Or what if this has the same effect that excel did - give everyone access to a tool that dramatically improves efficiency and capability. What used to take someone a day now takes a minute and that frees up that person to either become exceptionally more efficient or to focus on more interesting or useful work.

I also believe that one next step for AIs will be the capability to feed in a codebase to learn and then iterate on specifically so the AI is capable of providing context aware suggestions. Today it's only great at mashing together open source tools and common projects.

Edit - For fun I passed in my comment above and asked for different formulations. An entertaining version below:

Picture a world where a revolution unfolds, fueled by an extraordinary tool, rivaling the might of Excel. Behold its omnipotent grasp, granting every soul access to a transcendent force that skyrockets efficiency and capability to unimaginable heights. Time bends under its dominion, as day-long tasks crumble in the face of mere minutes, freeing individuals to conquer mountains, surging with unyielding productivity and embarking on audacious endeavors. But that's just the beginning! Prepare for the evolution of AI, as it voraciously devours codebases, honing its prowess with an unparalleled finesse, delivering awe-inspiring, contextually aware suggestions that defy reason. Witness its current triumph: the fusion of open-source tools and common projects. Brace yourself for the astounding prospects that lie on the horizon, as this tale unfolds like a climactic scene in an action-packed blockbuster!
Altium is probably the industry standard, though there are several high-end competitors (OrCAD for example). Similar to how Solidworks is usually considered the standard for CAD, but there are lots of competitors in the $2k/annum range. EAGLE was/is certainly used in production in many places, but it gained traction because it was competent and their free tier was good enough for almost all hobbyist work.

EAGLE was barely maintained for years, until Autodesk bought it and started making a lot of improvements, but the changes were often buggy and broke existing workflows. They also changed the pricing structure and many pro customers were unhappy about that too. But while a lot of people grouched about it, it's not like EAGLE was ever been a shining beacon of good UX.

It seems like EAGLE is being merged into Fusion 360 instead, so you have a unified electronics/CAD environment.
More work for consultants and clean up crews.
No, obviously not. I'm unclear how you got to that conclusion, or what your point is. I was responding to someone who was quoting the Bible regarding philanthropy and wanted to point out that it's not just Christianity that makes this point. Further, the fact that it's such a ubiquitous view means that it probably represents a more fundamental value that cuts across cultures and beliefs.

> why the users aren't just leaving?

People are addicted, especially the mods and power users. They won't go, because they've infested too much in building up their "clout."
First, use Creative/Precise. Second, use /no-search or #nosearch and it won't search and will give proper GPT4 "offline" answers.

But anyway, the internet search is pretty useful, it's one of the few things from Microsoft that I expect that he might use (that and Office).
To use a simple analogy, Lemmy is like a federated reddit while Mastodon is like a federated twitter.
They are both built ontop of ActivityPub, which is the messaging protocol that enables these technologies.

I'm still reading and understanding the topics myself as I continue to deeper my understanding of these platforms. It helps to also poke around and use them a little bit. This helps me gain an understanding of how they work.
Yeah, very odd move considering how difficult it is to get profit out of hosting images and videos on the internet. It like they had this massive cost neatly externalized and just decided to take it on instead. Even though no one asked for it.
Assuming that the software engineer is sufficiently competent in coding, the most important skill for a software engineer is the ability to work together in a team. There's nothing more destructive than an engineer who drains the team's energy and motivation because he/she can't work well with others.
One does wonder - did the founders read about 1984 and "Citizen Smith"? Also - did the founder of Palantir read about the original palantíri in the Lord of the Rings and consider how they are just not good for you - data without context can be deceiving (a data scientist would probably use the word "underdetermined")? Asking for a friend.

I’d assume part of that $10B is going towards getting on the short list to buy GPUs, but there’s only so many to go around.
> Most employees of FAANG companies could do something in a small company but the big company is just more prestigious and less risky

It's the opposite.

At a FAANG they won't have to be on-call 24x7x365 and will get great salary and publicly tradable stock but at a small startup they will have to be on call 24x7x365 for "ESOPS" that is so skewed in the favour of the startup and the founders and VCs that they get the double whammy of slaving at much lower salary where they have the ESOP bone in front of them dangling from a thin thread.

I mean it can't get more ridiculous than this that you have to pay and then pay taxes for something you can't do jackshit with it, and if you get fired you have the "opportunity" to pay a company that just fired you and pay taxes again on something that's not even paper money and that too within few weeks to few months.
$250M seems a massive overestimate given that the majority of the design is done by ARM and licensed from them.

Wikipedia mentions the original founder of Reddit saying

this new version of digg reeks of VC meddling. It's cobbling together features from more popular sites and departing from the core of digg, which was to "give the power back to the people."

I feel some echoes of this statement with Reddit's recent changes. Maybe these exoduses are a cycle. I think it's a relatively recent phenomenon for a huge online service to last beyond one or more decades, and I'm not sure with these kinds of funding models and sheer user numbers it's realistic to expect these kinds of VC-funded services to last in perpetuity. Could they last 30 years at that size? 50?

Maybe in another 15 years, whichever successor to Reddit is found unsustainable/unreliable (decentralized or not), everyone left with a dire need of niche online subcommunities shrugs their shoulders and moves on once again. I don't see them having another choice. The need for online communities will always be there in my mind, especially since the existence of Reddit has proven that it can be done, and someone will build something else that everyone conditioned on these forums will use eventually.

I hold out hope, but an unlikely outcome is the mainstream somehow attaches itself to a service with a different funding model like Wikipedia or AO3, or these kinds of message boards are treated like public utilities. It will still be a massive burden to administer, but the outcomes could be different. I remember reading how "critical" subreddits were given a pass from the blackouts like /r/Ukraine because the value of their information trumps anything related to Reddit operations. A part of me thinks that Reddit's current playbook takes into account that some parts of its existence have become too important for mods/users to shut down, and that seems different to Digg's situation in 2010. They simply weren't as big as Reddit today. This is uncharted territory.

Regardless, in my mind, a lot of things in life don't last forever, not just Digg or (soon possibly) Reddit. But lots of people rode the wave regardless for 15+ years, and have gained a lot of useful knowledge from Reddit in the meantime.

So people will inevitably flock to other closed platforms like Discord because those platforms are the objectively superior choices, and they're not ideal for various reasons, but in my mind you just have to meet people where they are. And I think a service like Discord could absolutely implode with a few misplaced administrative changes. But at this point I tend to see these things as part of a greater circle of life, and it's (probably) not like they're going to implode almost immediately in quick succession. Just that your time spent there is a part of a particular nexus in a particular point of human history, and it's going to be limited. So, enjoy it while it lasts.
This doesn’t seem to comport with Amazon’s experience, investment, and trajectory with Graviton, based on public reference customers and a few personal anecdotes.

Ampere isn’t a slouch either…
Yeah. I remember how Microsoft Build Keynote got very boring (for me) after 2016> or so, that for some reason, all that it was demo-ed was basically Azure+AI, usually both together.

Before, Microsoft Build was more about Windows...
You can't say with that straight face that Argentina and Zimbabwe are following Orthodox Dogma. They aren't raising rates in an attempt to pull money out of circulation. They are essentially funding the government with the printing press and the results are exactly what you would expect. They are a case study in the problems with so called Modern Monetary Theory.
No!

At least they can't have any effect on today's situation. The high inflation (it is coming down - it was 8%% - its down to 4%) was caused by worker shortages after the pandemic.

Fewer able-bodied workers after covid commanded higher prices, just as the serfs who survived the Black Death in the middle ages commanded better working conditions subsequently. The shortages in goods as fewer factory workers could make them and fewer truckers could move them also raised prices.

None of these causes for higher prices is impacted by higher interest rates.

They did not mention Linux at all in the notice. EAGLE supported Linux but as far as I know, Fusion 360 does not. Maybe I am their only user that cares, but this is the main reason I will be pushing my coworkers to migrate to KiCad.

When Autodesk claim Fusion 360 has the same functionality as Eagle and can replace it, that is a lie. It does not work on Linux so it is not a valid replacement.
> "Even if they become partners, most won't be rainmakers - and many would have made the same amount of money if they struck out on their own, opening a small boutique firm."

And the other dirty secret is: you'll still be on call 24/7/365, sleep on the couch in your office, and not know your family, even after you make partner.

The rat race/grind doesn't stop in Big Law. You grind to be considered for partner, and you think maybe once you get there you get to boss around a bunch of associates and take a breather. But no, that's not how it works.

You'll be paid 7-figures (maybe, if you're a book partner and not a work partner) but you'll still be just as miserable and overworked as your past associate self.

Having seen the industry up close I now advise people to run as far away as you can in the opposite direction if you're ever tempted by a big law legal career. It is nearly-exclusively the home of absolutely broken people who'll be remembered for keeling over in the break room after pulling the tenth all-nighter in a row.
This is quite cool than - will give that a try!
No, I think we're in the middle of an economic expansion powered by new technologies. People will be more efficient, more productive than ever. New wealth will be vastly generated.

Really? All I see is moat for the first mover. How will these models improve in the future? They'll collect more training data, of course, and use that to improve the model. But now that's the cat out of the bag, how will companies collect untainted data? Google will certainly have a hard time determining what has and has not been generated by ChatGPT. But will OpenAI have such a problem? OpenAI has the ability to record all ChatGPT responses and use that to clean new training data. OpenAI's models will continue to get better, while others without the ability to separate the wheat from the chaff will languish.
Same here. JupyterLab is just too overwhelming and full of things I don't need. I just need an interactive Python interpreter with support for visualizations and editing code blocks. That's Jupyter Notebook, so I keep using that.
imo, it's the standardization that a universal device offers. Perceived or actual. But it's one big variable in preparation removed.

I wish everybody on the planet had the same couple of ovens too. Then your recipe for preparing cookies or whatever will have one big variable removed.

But because we don't have that, we waste time and energy pre-heating the oven, just to be sure that we're all cooking at the same temperature. And even then, ovens will vary in how they control temperature and grrrrr.

Same for soft/hard boiling eggs: the only error-proof way is to boil your water first and stick eggs in there for X minutes and then drench them in cold water. But that's a huge waste of the heat in the heating process. If we all used the same amount of water on top of the same heating source in the same place, we could use that pre-heating process as a part of cooking.
Reminds me of the way nuclear explosions contaminated all steel with radioactive fallout. For applications that require the lowest possible radiation levels they have to use steel created before the first nuclear bomb was detonated.
simplify the pricing and offer it as your own service = profit
While it would be an unpopular move, it would be pretty trivial for Reddit just to force reactive some or even all of these subreddits.

I wonder if the average Reddit user would be upset enough over the action to stop using the site?
They should work towards making repetitive prompts be free or much cheaper because they don't have to generate it token by token and can be cached.
Don't worry - it knows. Reddit wants to extract the value asap. I'm pretty sure they're looking to liquidate Reddit and go big on AI.
Bo Burnham's "Lower your expectations" is a hilarious comedy song covering this exact point. For both men and women.
That's interesting because I feel like I can't make ChatGPT do anything useful for me.

This has to be one of these most useless sites on the Internet and it blows my mind how frequently the content from this site is exposed via Google search. Now that I think about it, I think I should probably just block it on my local DNS server.
Instant Pot sold a model called the Max which went up to the full pressure of stovetop pressure cookers. It didn’t sell. The problem is that it took so much longer to reach the highest pressure. The main limitation? North American household 110V 15-amp circuits max out at 1650W (and typical appliances max out around 1350W to leave margin).

If we had European 240V circuits we could have an Instant Pot designed for well over 2000W and it wouldn’t be an issue.

The same story goes for electric kettles. Alec of Technology Connections [1] went into extensive detail about it!

And this is why you all this panic from congress, openai and their assorted fronts. Llama open source 'rewrites' ( I am not sure if it can be really called that ) allowing models to run on local machines without making it safe for the masses or without careful monitoring.
Rule of thumb: if they advertise on podcasts, they're astroturfing on Reddit too.
We are in a bubble in the sense, less than 0.5 % of info created is consumed by actual people. And that stat is from 2015 - https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/attention_economy_... So you have to ask whats the point of the story?

Such stats become possible cuz advertisers who subsidize the whole mindless system, still make enough out of it.

So the question becomes - is there an upper bound to how much Advertisers globally can cough up?

As long as Global GDP keeps growing they probably can keep everything running. Post covid we are seeing what happens when Ad spends come down from a peak. Youtube/FB etc say drops in ad spend for the first time in their histories. Probably caused the layoffs in most of the freebie providing tech firms.

Second factor is how much Attention (that can be exploited) actually exists? Even if GDP keeps growing and ppl have disposable cash in hand, but ppls attention is so overloaded with info+spam then what happens? I haven't seen any great answers to that. But its obvious info overload is effecting people's ability to pay attention. Which effects the price of an ad.

Third factor is all the Spare Capacity built into the cloud to support actually paid services such Uber/Amazon/rest of corporate wonderland. Reddit, Twitter etc can handle such volumes purely because this excess capacity exists. Now if its diverted toward Crap-GPT et al and cloud prices rise for content mills things are going to get rough.

Fourth factor is the cost of handling private data security/privacy/spam/moderation/keeping ppl from exploiting each other seems to be growing. Currently the cost is showing up as govt fines and tomorrow in implementing random half baked govt regulations.

So you already have ppl selling books about the Subprime Attention crisis and predicting collapse. But even if the freebie/content providers/ad tech collapses the rest of tech - cloud - eCommerce - paid content/gaming etc is going to chug along just fine.

I used to read Digg heavily and joined the exodus to Reddit after, I think the outcome was similar but back then Reddit was popular enough and it had no power mod problems as Digg, also transitioning was easier because it was just web version and no native client. This time a third client alone as Apollo can make people go away.

Mint: Supporting underserved languages with open machine translation
Somebody who knows absolutely nothing about a language can also copy and paste together a working solution. I'd trust that about as much as something ChatGPT spit out.
Adding to the list of favourite passages. This is from The Road, when the father holds his son: “No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes. So, he whispered to the sleeping boy. I have you.”
Amazingly I haven't really met them, nor have most of my friends, even the married ones. Obviously women work and contribute to households. There are millions of well employed women. The question is, are they satisfied with their partners?
No but they’re going to make us poorer trying. As if in the UK we didn’t have enough issues, our mortgages are going up. It’s just feels like a cash grab, theft for greed’s sake
They could have required Reddit Premium to use third party apps or something of the sort. Or injected ads into third party apps via the API. Or forced third party apps through a verification process to get an API key not unlike Google's Oauth process and monetize it differently for training use cases, etc.
Have you tried removing your brain and trying again?

Jk but I feel like i have to really try hard to sound “dumb” when I ask gpt4 to do anything complex.

If I put any words that are kinda technical or specific it ends up misunderstanding completely.

I think because we are highly technical it’s like diminishing returns for us.

For a total noob it’s like opening Pandora’s box. We are gonna have a ton of shitty insecurely running code soon.
>Maybe men use porn and play videogames not because they'd rather have that than a real relationship, but because modern relationships don't offer much more than that.

When exactly have relations ever offered much more than that, realistically? Relationships have always (since love marriages became common at least, which is actually relatively recent, historically) offered some rosy vision of love and affection and family and all that, but in reality, only a minority of marriages actually succeeded in having a happy couple without a lot of dysfunction. Unhappy couples were normal in days gone by.

The divorce rate is only high because it's now acceptable to divorce, so unhappy people aren't staying in bad marriages any more. And lately, the divorce rate is falling because people simply aren't getting married as much, and more people are instead avoiding getting into a bad marriage in the first place, unlike their parents and grandparents.

If two people can find true long-term love and affection in a relationship, that's really great. But let's stop pretending that this was ever the norm. It wasn't.
