I think a lot of the mega hype around LLMs relies on extrapolating their (very impressive) performance today and assuming that the error rate will decrease significantly over time. I am very skeptical that this will actually happen, since in order to ensure correctness I believe you basically need to build a separate system that can determine correctness, which reduces to what you had to do pre-LLMs to build such a system.

I think they are going to be a really useful tool alongside many other really useful tools which already exist. I think that they will have an impact on many areas where correctness is not very important. I don’t think they will make everything else obsolete, and this line of thinking seems like some kind of weird utopian thought pattern bug in humans.

So if you want to help your anxiety, just become extremely skeptical of LLMs! Practice rolling yours eyes, etc.
Glad I could spread the good word of Mac - that’s one my favorite songs of his as well.
We have no idea how to estimate the computational capacity of the brain at the moment. We can make silly estimates like saying that 1 human neuron is equivalent to something in an artificial network. But this is definitely wrong, biological neurons are far more complex than this.

The big problem is that we don't understand the locus of computation in the brain. What is the thing performing the meaningful unit of computation in a neuron? And what is a neuron really equivalent to?

The ranges are massive.

Some people say that computation is some high level property of the neuron as a whole, so they think each neuron is equivalent to just a few logic gates. These people would say that the brain has a capacity of about 1 petaFLOP/s. https://lips.cs.princeton.edu/what-is-the-computational-capa...

Then there are people who think every Na, K, and Ca ion channel performs meaningful computation. They would say the brain has a capacity of 1 zettaFLOP/s. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.10615.pdf

Then there are computational researchers who just want to approximate what a neuron does. Their results say that neurons are more like whole 4-8 layer artificial networks. This would place the brain well somewhere in the yottaFLOP/s range https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-computationally-complex-i...

And we're learning more about how complex neurons are all the time. No one thinks the picture above is accurate in any way.

Then there are the extremists who think that there is something non-classical about our brains. That neurons individually or areas of the brain as a whole exploit some form of quantum computation. If they're right, we're not even remotely on the trajectory to matching brains, and very likely nothing we're doing today will ever pay off in that sense. Almost no one believes them.

Let's say the brain is in the zettaFLOP/s range. That's 10^21 FLOP/s. Training GPT-3 took 10^23 FLOPS total over 34 days. 34 days has 2937600 seconds. 10^23/10^7 is about 10^16 FLOP/s. So by this back of the envelope computation the brain has about 4 orders of magnitude more capacity, or 1000x. This makes a lot of sense, they're using a pettaFLOP/s supercomputer basically which we already knew. We'll have zettaFLOP/s supercomputers soon, yottaFLOP/s, people are worried we're going to hit some fundamental physical limits before we get there.

All of this is a simplification and there are problems with every one of these estimates.

But, in some sense none of it means anything at all. You can have an extremely efficient algorithm that runs 1 million times faster than an extremely inefficient algorithm. Machines and brains do not run the same "software", the same algorithms. So comparing their hardware directly doesn't say anything at all.
But that argument is not interesting. "We can't count arbitrarily high because the universe is finite." Yeah, duh. (Observable universe, for the pedants.)

It's more interesting to ask: suppose you did have a magical stick of RAM that had infinite storage, and suppose you augmented your computer to store and query that memory. Then -- yes -- your computer could determine whether any number, however large, is prime. An FSM could not.
> Apple is a hardware company and maybe a case could be made its a services company. It might be aspirationally positioning itself to benefit from AI but it's not an AI company.

You can't take the author literally. All they're saying is that many of the best features coming in iOS 17 and macOS 14 are AI-based and it's pretty likely there will more big features coming in the future based on AI. I'm sure there's an entire AI story for Apple Vision Pro that we're not aware of yet.

Every device running on Apple Silicon since 2017 has a neural engine [1] to speed up certain types of AI computations. That's many tens of millions of devices.

And because Apple has frameworks and APIs in their operating systems, developers can add AI features without having to be AI experts themselves.

I'd be shocked if Apple isn't working on device-based, privacy preserving generative AI right now.

It is not about hiding debate. It is about not pretending that bad faith actors are somehow trying to have honest debate.
As I understand it, the vessel is not able to surface on its own. At its most buoyant, a small amount of the sub will emerge from the water, and that weight will push it back down, so the vast majority of the sub is underwater. This bobbing, which depending on waves can have a small amount or none of the sub above water at any time, would make them hard to detect but easy to retrieve if they were located.
Can you restate your point more clearly? I think I understand what you're saying, but the way you've stated it is hard to parse, and I do want to make sure I'm receiving the intended message.
Could you do this with some kind of eBPF approach?
Yeah this is just a long advertisement. The number of times I read "the book", yet still have no insight into the content of the book past the title.
>hell, look at how long it took the multinational mega-corporation to get Android's background power consumption down.

Was it bad early on? I seem to recall even the original Nexus One would last all day on one charge.

By contrast the Librem barely lasts 4 hours, rendering it completely useless as a phone.
The massive advantage of Electron is write once -- with some extra overhead, perhaps 40% effort -- and you can ship the same app to web, mac, windows, ios, android, and linux.
Or we can do like the Python code does and depend either on line iteration of the input file, or use str.splitlines(). ;)
They claim the vehicle has consumables to last 4 days, so while it’s a little premature at 3 days in to declare it’s over, if you have an injured person that requires an EMT and the ambulance won’t get there until the situation devolves…

In these situations you don’t do everything you can because it will change the outcome. You do everything you can so that someday soon you’ll be able to look at yourself in the mirror while you brush your teeth. So you can sleep at night.

I haven’t been in this bad of a situation, but I’ve been in plenty where people second guessed themselves or someone else for years even decades after. Everyone has to get to “enough” on their own terms or it festers.

So we are letting a bunch of people figure it out. If a miracle happens, awesome. But unless they’re all trance meditating down there and have Wim Hoff hypothermia training it’s not good.
I haven't seen a package that does not provide a way to inject a logger to be honest. I'd rather not use one or an least fork one if I'm out of options.

But then you have to explain why gift cards are worth something. The answer is, because someone will give you something for them.

Meanwhile there are a large number of entities that have already entered into long-term contracts denominated in cryptocurrencies and any of them would pay you something for it when they need to satisfy their obligations.

That doesn't mean the value never changes, but that's also true of government-issued currencies. That's what inflation is.

I have one, played snake on it, liked it (hurray for real buttons). Haven't bothered set it up as my daily driver because 90% of my phone usage is Signal and so far as I know that's not yet working.

If somebody has the bandwidth to hack on it in a way that will move the project forward, I'll send them mine for free. I love the idea but it's just not my kind of tinkering.

Postgres uses lots of cpu and memory if you have many connections and especially clients that come and go frequently. Pooling and bouncers help with that. That experience should better come out of the box, not by bolting on tools around it.
One of the great ironies of capitalism is ~all companies are socialist internally, or at the very least command economies.
I haven't used Codespaces, but how does this work with databases? A common problem we have during onboarding is getting your local database (MySQL) setup properly: run all the migrations => load some sample, de-identified, production-like data => update certain rows to allow for personal development (e.g. for our texting service, make sure you text your own phone number, instead of someone else's).

What's the workflow for this?

A related issue for us is being able to test another developer's pull request with database migrations without wiping out your current database state. Is there a Devpods workflow for this?

Upward spiral is a bigram that shows up around turn of 20th century[0] but is undeniably rare compared to downward spiral[1].

Yes, web technologies let you build MVPs faster, that's literally in my original comment. However, in order to provide quick MVPs these technologies inherently sacrifice long term maintainability.

> Biggar also contends that British rule in India, initially under the auspices of the East India Company (EIC) from the 1750s and direct colonial rule after 1857, was far from the rapacious affair that Whigs at the time (Burke springs to mind) or later historians, like Theodore Dalrymple assert.

That is a tall claim, if there ever was one.

> EIC officials like Ernest ‘Oriental’ Jones and Warren Hastings showed a profound interest in Hindu culture and went to great lengths to accommodate Indian custom to utilitarian understandings of law and property. Biggar suggests that, Edward Said, the author of the 1978 book Orientalism which spawned post-colonial discourse theory and decolonise campaigns in education, distorted the character of European and British interest in both India and China.

Warren Hastings presided over the Great Bengal Famine of 1770 and reported back to the EIC about the wipeout of 10 million humans in Bengal.

Damodaran, Vinita (2014), "The East India Company, Famine and Ecological Conditions in Eighteenth-Century Bengal", in V. Damodaran; A. Winterbottom; A. Lester (eds.), The East India Company and the Natural World, Palgrave Macmillan UK, pp. 80–101, 89, ISBN 978-1-137-42727-4, writes:

> Before the end of May 1770, one third of the population was calculated to have disappeared, in June the deaths were returned as six out of sixteen of the whole population, and it was estimated that 'one half of the cultivators and payers of revenue will perish with hunger'. During the rains (July–October) the depopulation became so evident that the government wrote to the court of directors in alarm about the number of 'industrious peasants and manufacturers destroyed by the famine'. It was not till cultivation commenced for the following year 1771 that the practical consequences began to be felt. It was then discovered that the remnant of the population would not suffice to till the land. The areas affected by the famine continued to fall and were put out of tillage. Warren Hastings' account, written in 1772, also stated the loss as one third of the inhabitants and this figure has often been cited by subsequent historians. The failure of a single crop, following a year of scarcity, had wiped out an estimated 10 million human beings according to some accounts. The monsoon was on time in the next few years but the economy of Bengal had been drastically transformed, as the records of the next thirty years attest."

So, yeah. The empire was evil.

I agree with you to some extent, but the solution is fd: change the tool's interface to make simple things easy. Deleting the tool entirely does nobody any favors. As bad as find(1) is for simple stuff, piping du(1) to grep(1) is worse.
I don’t know that much about materials science. Why is a “titanium hemisphere bonded to a carbon fiber cylinder” “such a fundamentally compromised design” in this application?

I imagine maybe carbon fiber would be better in tension (e.g. airframes) than in compression (this), perhaps. Or do carbon fiber and titanium not get along somehow?

(EDIT: Had tension and compression backwards.)

With sonar. The submarine doesn't have to locate itself, it just needs to be active pinging and it can be triangulated.

Radio doesn't work underwater, but sound actually travels incredibly far (hence why military subs go all out with noise reductions).

Edit: I mean the real question is why the hell does this thing not have some type of system like this already? You know the upfront expected dive time, so set a couple of noisemakers on the exterior hull to go off after you exceed it.
From the full report referenced in the earlier article:

When reporting data to the ITA for 2021, Amazon re-classified 393 facilities it had previously reported as operating in the General Warehouse and Storage NAICS Code (493110) as operating in the Couriers and Express Delivery Service NAICS Code (492110). Because there was no discernable change in the work processes at these facilities and because this reclassification would make year-over-year comparisons of Amazon’s safety performance challenging, for the purposes of this analysis, all Amazon warehouse and logistics operations that were classified in previous years as in the General Warehouse and Storage industry (NAICS 493110) were included in the 2021 analysis of Amazon’s overall injury rates.

The trouble with the real world is that things don't fit nicely into perfectly square boxes. While it may be easy to imagine an ideal warehouse, the actual operation of a warehouse out there in the wild where things are far from ideal could look quite different, including having deliveries performed as part of its operation. As you can see, Amazon has found it itself teetering on a fence of what some of their operations even are in many cases.

After all, if deliveries are not part of their warehousing operations, why would they reclassify some of their warehouses to delivery services when there was no discernible change in operation?
ChatGPT plug-ins serve a different use case which is to inject real time info into a chat conversation backed by ChatGPT's backend.

While the article is light on details, the AI software App Store seems to be where you'd go to find applications which directly integrate with the underlying OpenAI LLMs. The way I'm reading it, even ChatGPT can be an app in this App Store.
I got used to `du | grep` after using Plan 9 a lot and still do it on Linux, but yeah really I think Plan 9 fans have had a tendency to ossify the pragmatic minimalism of the Bell Labs guys into a sort of cultishness... there's no reason we couldn't have find on Plan 9, but now it's almost a religious point not to have it.

On the other hand, the lack of find is not a particularly good rebuttal to the original point. If I rolled up in a prototype personal transport which could go 1000 miles on a single AA battery, would you complain that the seats were poorly stitched?
But they do not live our comfortable lives and have few prospects for doing so. You are asking them to stick around suffering while either:

1. Waiting for a lottery ticket essentially to somehow get them rebooted.

2. Waiting for society to figure out a broader plan to deal with them.

Sure, many solutions come out of think tanks or are proposed, but if they are not implemented, what use are they to these people?

We can have all the great wishes we want for the homeless, but at present, we have nothing concrete to offer many of them.

My side project is a model of computation (the bitgrid[1]) that could possibly make LLMs much faster, as a side effect. I'm interested in real time signal processing as a long term goal. For now, the model is so foreign to even me that its a bit brain breaking to think about.
