Just to be clear, I think LLMs have enormous potential and am focused on building products with them. But I also believe that smarter hyperspeed LLMs will be an existential risk when widely deployed in the relatively near future.

In a way GPT-4 is like a mentally impaired human but in other ways it's superhuman. It operates faster than a human in many contexts. It has vastly greater knowledge. Agents based on LLMs could communicate and process new information practically instantaneously.

And the important point that people are in denial about is that GPT-4 reasons effectively. It's far from perfect and has some strange failure modes, but demonstrates the potential of these systems.

It's not accurate to think that LLM performance can't be improved without doubling size. There are many approaches to efficiency recently demonstrated that don't require larger datasets.

We now have many geniuses with billions and billions behind them pushing hard to optimize this specific application from all directions. Modifying the software that runs the model, the model parameters, model architecture, and the hardware. In particular for hardware there is now a large increase in attention to novel compute-in-memory paradigms or techniques.

GPT-X will have at least 33% higher IQ and 50-100 times faster output within no more than 5-10 years. Quite possibly less than that. Humans will not be able to compete with that. The only option will be to deploy their own AI agents.

And there will be a strong incentive to increase the level of autonomy for the agents, since making them wait for human input a few hours means that the competitors' agents race ahead doing the equivalent of days of work in that time frame.

This delegation of control to agents with superior reasoning ability sets the stage for real danger. Especially in a military or industrial context.

It's hard to say as "Docker" as a term or product name has diluted pretty much as they variously use it for various products with various functionalitites, and they don't have anything just called "Docker" any more. There's a lot of virtualization stuff for various operating systems, orchestration stuff, etc.

(Note that the article also doesn't to link to any specific product, just to the Docker company front page. For me the first link the front page offers is "Docker Desktop for Linux" which is I guess a virtualization based system)

We're talking about an art thief though, they usually need no help with embellishing their stories. Although perhaps I confuse them with art forgers ("F for Fake" comes to mind).

I guess I'm saying is that I agree with you, but would give this the benefit of expecting to be lied to while only caring about how entertaining the story is (again, see "F for Fake").

`grep -w 'pointer|ptr|addr|cast'` would do it in one.. (One can surely do a shell alias called `find-unsafe`..).

Finding unsafe constructs in Nim code is not that hard, at least at the same level of accuracy as `grep unsafe *.rs` (e.g. inside comments & strings, etc.).

To evaluate the power of this general line of argument, consider -- if Nim shipped with a `find-unsafe` source-level search utility, how much would this change your mind?

Multiplayer Game Development in Rust Cancelled

Per Manning's Early Access Program (MEAP), Multiplayer Game Development in Rust will not be published. Bummer.

We are presented with two options: one, exchange for any other MEAP; or two, get a full refund. Maybe I can just keep it?

So far, five of the twelve chapters are available.

Eh, there is huge demand for that static-ness, see windows ltsc, red hat, suse, debian stable, ubuntu lts etc. .

I mean, sortof. I get where you're coming from, but if a development has planning permission (i.e. it's allowed to be built) then it should be massively penalised if development doesn't begin pretty soon after this. As a society, it's problematic for a whole bunch of reasons to have companies sit on land that could provide housing when there's a shortage.
Neoliberalism seems based around the idea the government shouldn't do things, and this is the result, in housing and other areas.

Generally great post, but did he say Gmail was a Hotmail clone? Really? Did Cory get too old to remember things or is his anti corporate paranoia that bad?

I still remember the gmail announcement: it was on April 1st and near everyone just thought it was an April fools joke that they promised a GB of space when Hotmail gave 5 MB. And their conversation UI, no delete button, labels: they innovated on every single aspect of how you could do email. Oh did I forget to mention it was the first true web application that was mass market end user focused? And did a killer job at it too?

At one point Google was a true innovators company. Failing to acknowledge that shows Cory’s own biases and continues to relegate him to one loud corner of the internet. We get it Cory, you loooove GNU. Doesn’t mean you can’t objective about other things.

goto recommendation for the last decade is a used small formfactor enterprise desktop or a laptop. the former allows for a pcie nic and more performance while the latter usually requires a usb-eth but has a builtin keyboard and screen for debugging.

just go for something x86, avoid the ultra low-end cpu's and your usually good for soho stuff.
We don't now for sure, which is why it's so interesting to research! There are some tantalising hints though, for example the OthelloGPT results (here: https://thegradient.pub/othello/) which show that LLMs can form internal world models and then use them in inference to make decisions. Another interesting result is this one (https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-022-03036-1), which shows that neuronal activations in some parts of the human brain linearly map to neuronal activations in deep learning models when they are both doing the same task; this doesn't tell us anything about how either is doing what they are doing, but it does suggest that the human brain and LLMs may be doing a similar thing to achieve the same end result. We definitely need a lot more research before we can say anything definitive about this question, but there are a bunch of useful research directions that AI and neuroscience researchers are pursuing.

Every Jan 1st the government produces an "inflation index" and all gross salaries are multiplied by that number. Employers are free to give more; but if your January gross salaries is lower than your dec salary * the index you have a legal case.

Employers typically take this into account and reduce the performance based raise they give by the amount. It's great for the low performer or easily replaceable people who get a raise they otherwise would not have gotten and bad for the top performer / more sought after profiles because employer look at the total costs and thus have less legroom for individual increases. It acts as an equaliser in that sense; but the best and brightest are getting way more few kilometres away (it's not like Belgium is a huge country; almost every lives less than 1.5 hour away from the border).

For the companies that are less able to pay that automatic inflation; it can be pretty hard/expensive to fire, because the employment laws are quite protective. So the usual solution is to just not hire. Big companies are also finding ways to reduce their headcount and transfer the risk on smaller structure; such as using sub companies and franchising models. Thos inherently reduce employee job security and stability. Unions are fighting this as much as they can; without any success.

Companies that need local workforce (retail, ...) adjust their prices accordingly. As an example the same pack of pasta costs ~40% more in Belgium than in France. Many people take their car and drive significant distances to cross the border buy food.
A pub may have the ingredients to make a wide range of cocktails, but most of them won't have staff who actually know how to do so well. If you're lucky someone will have had some training in making cocktails and be able to make something passable. If you're unlucky they'll grab the bottle of premix from under the bar.

Cocktail bars are a distinct thing, and have staff who actually know what they're doing, unfortunately they usually have exactly the same problems described in this article of being uncomfortably loud.
That would be an interesting data point in the higher end.

This is one of the things a lot of people say they want but almost nobody really wants. But the truth is that we like the way the western world works too much to give it up.

Corporal punishment is physical and psychological abuse. It is in the title: punishment is a judgement and corporal is the violence.

There is no such thing as corporal punishment that is also not an abuse. Maybe there is a scale of it but it is abuse.

Spheres minimize surface area per unit of volume. As heat loss in a building is proportional to its exposed surface area, this means they're potentially very thermally efficient. (Less good for collecting sunlight if you're going to cover them in PV panels, though.)
I have to use Outlook with my employer and I am sorry to say that its UI went from fairly good to bad to annoying over the last decade or so. Outlook serves in many ways a good example of bad UI design but not as an reasonable mail client.

Likewise I used Thunderbird privately, and still use as my POP3 based mail archive, I find the UI not as bad as outlook, but still not really practical my everyday needs.

So I ended up with using Vivaldi in spite of not being a believer of integrating mail an browsing in one program.
No TLS on this site? And it's a full-blast forum but only the admin posts, so it's actually a blog and not a forum?

The point being conveyed is more or less accurate, but I am left scratching my head.
Having a separate process also allows for decoupling pieces of application logic so that they can be deployed independently of each other. You can build this into a monolith but it's typically hard and error-prone.

A pipeline I work on right now ingests large amounts of data from an FTP site and dumps it all onto a Kafka topic which is handled by another process on the consuming end. If this were a monolith it would run faster, but any errors or crashes would either require reprocessing the entire file (not really possible given its size) or keeping state ... which is what we are using Kafka for. We can restart pieces of the pipeline at any time and they just resume where they left off. Having a monolith has no overwhelming advantage to us in this use case.

You don't really have a choice - containers always use the host kernel. So packaging the full kernel itself is a waste of space at best, confusing to CVE scanners, and something you just don't need to bother with if you work with containers only.

Most states have something like this:

- at ~16, you become eligible for a driving permit which allows for supervised driving only

- getting the permit requires you to "pass" a pathetic 10ish question exam for which the literal questions and (multiple choice) answers are publicly available

- after 6-12 months (again, variable) you become eligible to get your full license

- to get a license, you usually need a guardian or affiliated adult to sign a form saying they taught you for over 40 hours of supervised driving.

- sometimes you also need a "safety class" or possible a "driver's education" class. Driver's education can be useful, since it's literally just a teacher riding around in a car driven by students and pointing out where the students go wrong. Safety classes are almost invariably useless, since they mostly just regurgitate rules of the road and obvious safety tips that most students immediately forget.

- Once you become eligible for a license, you go to a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the same place where you got your permit. Schedule an appointment, and an employee will take you for a driving test. In the driving test, you have to show your mettle at serious challenges like parallel parking a car, stopping at stop signs, looking over your shoulder while changing lanes, and looking both ways before making a turn at a stop. This basic test has a less than 50% passing rate, but you can take it as many times as you like so even the worst drivers eventually jump through the hoop.

So basically the process you imagined but with more time and hoops where the government gets to charge you $$.

“ The team suspects chronic inflammation in the gut could trigger such damage, creating a selective pressure for those genes, says study co-author Matthew Olm, a microbiologist at Stanford. “If you have a state of chronic inflammation, it would make sense that your gut microbiome has to adapt,” he says. These genes were not detected in the Hadza microbiomes.”

Think we are learning that a major key to overall health is minimizing the state of inflammation. Poor eating choices, lack of exercise, stressful job / life in general many urban environments tend to promote lifestyles where you could live in a state id constant inflammation.
