Capabilities of the open-source models are only increasing over time by objective measurement. Yes, every one of them is demonstrably inferior to GPT-4, but we have historical precedent that the cost of compute only ever goes down.

Additionally, assuming the leaked details given here are accurate, there might not be a GPT-6. This entire approach of AI via language models very well could be approaching a local maximum and/or have already reached the point of diminishing returns.

If that is the case, OpenAI's moat is guaranteed to run dry. It should be telling that very few of the improvements over the past few months involve the base model, rather they are value-adds like plug-ins and hooking it up to a VM, things that are not protected by training difficulty.

> If anything, I think Intel can exit this market because they succeeded.

They lead the creation of a market but failed to maintain any competitive edge in it. That's a story of initial success that ultimately ran through their fingers, like so many other examples you've presented. Calling this fully "a success" seems very generous.

> If anything, I think Intel can exit this market because they succeeded.

You could spin the entire unit off so it could compete on it's own terms. There's plenty of success stories to be found this way, and Intel's habit of doing this time after time means that I have very little confidence in any new product they bring to market outside of CPU cores and view them mostly as a consumer electronics company now.

> Game streaming is a lousy solution

I feel like it's only bad because it's still mostly a half-way house. Slapping existing AAA titles onto networked GPUs and calling it a day <> streaming gaming in my view.

Streaming gaming is actually a thing for me when someone builds a game using it that would absolutely not be possible using traditional technology. For example, an MMO so massive that the average player's network stack couldn't handle all of the events, so the only rational option is to render everything on some supercomputer and ship the final frames.

Consider also that you can get a lot of reuse out of a particular scene graph if multiple players are in the same one. Many such cases in streaming gaming. There are new, multi-server engine architectures that will not be possible until we start saying things like "this will be a streaming-only exclusive". That is probably the scariest proposal an MBA in any AAA studio could hear in 2023, so I don't expect you will see Blizzard or Sony playing in this flavor of traffic any time soon.
Nice landing page. I'm currently not in the market, but what would probably deter me from spending $$$ would be that there's no way of assessing the quality of the gathered data before buying, i.e., a lack of trust.

So it's kinda like Couchsurfing.com and Warmshowers, but expensive ($100/yr) and only for vanlifers? Interesting.

I like the community peer to peer model, but it kinda feels exploitative to put an expensive business layer on top of it. What does the $100/yr provide that Couchsurfing's $30/yr doesn't, aside from a feeling of exclusivity? Or is that the point, to weed out poor vanlifers and allow only rich vacationers to swap hosting with each other?
Just from anecdotal observation, the iMac seems to have several niches where a fashionable desktop is called for: at least higher-end shops and lobbies, and musicians and other artists who dabble in production enough to need the larger screen but not enough to invest in a more expensive setup.

The Mini seems more specialized. I’ve bought many of them over the years for things like video installations, but I never see them in “regular people use”.

Once the build out is complete, it'll be maintenance at lower costs.

The satellites have a lifetime of about 5 years, so with 12,000 satellites they will need to replace 200, if they go all the way to 42,000 even 700 of them each month, indefinitely. While in some sense this is maintenance it also means building and launching one complete constellation every 5 years. Or they have to increase the lifetime which is at least currently probably mainly limited by the available fuel for station keeping.
I guess Intel is not the kind of company that would reinvent itself with a "iphone moment".

Granted the idea of a personal home cloud is not exactly radical and Intel does not have an OS (though they could adopt linux) but its not a stretch of imagination to think every home running one or more such devices.

The challenge of navigating the post-Moore's law era clearly requires focus as a few more missteps (whatever happened to Xeon Phi?) could be terminal.

The best way to survive an uncertain future is to shrewdly engineer one to your liking, rather than chase others working on their own strengths.

> Common man do you want me to copy-paste the definition of science from wikipedia here? You can look it up yourself.

Sure. I already did that, and you disagreed with it. WP’s definition supports social science being categorized as science. I’m asking you for the definition that supports your claim, because WP’s does not.

> You can read in the article that people do not agree on whether anthropology is science or not.

You can read in it that some do. The conclusion says that at least some of it is good robust science, which disproves your claim.

> Well here we run into a problem, anything that you don't want to hear is either spam or false information.

Not true at all. Did you even bother to read the article and look at whether it’s authoritative? Yourarticlelibrary.com is a content spam site: the entire thing. Did you even read the article? It’s full of misspellings and false and stupid sentences. The problem is you aren’t even trying to evaluate the quality of the links you’re pasting, after googling a biased question for anything to back up your incorrect points. I’d be absolutely embarrassed to defend this article, and you should too, it’s trash. Your response is resorting again to ad-hominem, you simply don’t seem to be capable of sticking to arguing that the content is true or think critically about it.

I know that people argue about this topic, I’ve in fact mentioned that multiple times. Too bad that doesn’t prove anything.

I’m glad you agree that some of those are science, because all of them except the math paper are categorized as social science. Every Single One. The math paper is not science, it’s math.

3% of Natural Gas, not methane. Natural gas contains other gases, in particular ethane, which is the feedstock for making ethylene and then polyethylene.

US fracked gas is quite high in ethane.

Some of the natural gas used for plastics is to make heat, for example to drive ethylene crackers (which decompose ethane at high temperature). Methane could be burned for that.

There was a process for oxidative coupling of methane to make ethylene (a Bay Area startup named Siluria created it, using a cool phage-based combinatorial method to find structured catalysts) but I don't think it could compete with all that cheap natural ethane.

I had a very similar experience with pi hole. With DNS ad blockers, blocking happens upstream and via a mechanism that causes it to always looks like an error. So you lose your ability to both troubleshoot the problem and to visualize its behavior in the same context as the application it broke.

I'm of the opinion that MITM products are a poor fit for controlling endpoint behavior. Ad blockers, content blockers, security scanners, etc., all tend to give better and clearer results when they operate on the same machine they're affecting.

I mean, the function for straight printing is puts; I don't know why people keep using the much more complicated printf in cases where no formatting is involved.

Edit: OK, I guess puts includes a newline, so you'd need to use fputs if you don't want that (although this example includes one). Still, both of those are much less complicated than printf!

Well, if I were going to pull off a plan like this, I might fake a fight with a 'rival' social network ,while actually having some kind of deal with them. It's magic 101 - look at my hands. Don't look over there.

Consider that maybe the literal dick measuring, the called-off MMA fight, etc, is just kayfabe - a show. It wouldn't be the first time.

We fall for controlled opposition a lot more than we realize, because it's effective, and basically impossible to prove.

Sometimes, the rivalry is 'real', but helps both parties maintain a profitable status quo. Pepsi vs Coke, Dems vs Republicans, etc.

Even if it isn't a wrestling show, *Zuck and Musk's interests align*. Their incentives are aligned far, far more than with any non-billionaires. Be certain of that, and know that they know this. Their bluster and meme-battles don't amount to much more that a show in any case.

For whatever reason - Musk could hardly be more effective in killing Twitter than he has been so far, while maintaining plausible deniability. This invites fun speculation.

What's not speculation is that we're absolutely daft for letting these ultra-billionaires run our social media. It's deeply unsettling that people tolerate this after the last couple decades, and even cheer for new, even more insidious offerings from the same exact people.

For anyone looking for actually free, no strings attached (and no subscription) camping, check https://freecampsites.net/ instead. It's a community wiki of free camp sites, usually on federal lands of various sorts (National Forests and BLM lands often have primitive campsites with fire rings and not much else). It's great for travel around national parks, especially. But please do leave no trace, pack out what you bring in.

Edit: I should add that much of federally protected lands are free to camp on, within certain limits that I can't remember offhand. Things like no more than X days within a month, must be further than Y from a street or river, may or may not need a fire permit, etc. Even if undocumented and unlabeled on a map, you can typically just pull off the road and camp alongside, perfectly legally. It's part of their intended use, though that's never really made clear to the public.

What this website provides isn't the land itself (which is paid for by taxpayers) but curation, so you can easily find places with a good view, cell reception, fire rings, minimal traffic and whatnot. A lot of national lands aren't exactly desirable to camp on even if you're totally within your rights to do so.
This could work if it was community run and not for profit. A business running this has the wrong incentives.

Cool idea! I suppose Couchsurfing is a bit of a philosophical predecessor here, but with more of an outdoor/camping bent to it.
You boomers who are screaming that Emacs doesn't need a GUI layer perhaps need to wake up. It's 2023 and we're constantly dealing with an enormous amount of data. The data that's begging to be visualized. Lisp (especially Clojure) is one of the best tools to deal with data. You can slice it, dice it, chunk it up, measure it, convert it, analyze it, etc. Having a composable, extensible graphics layer in Emacs is only the natural next step in its evolution. When it finally gets added, you will happily be using its awesome features while shaking your heads, remembering that at some point you were against them.

> Yes, and considering they health insurance company executives are not all the richest people in the US, there must exist some pressure to contain their compensation.

Sure there is. But they're also not poor, so there must be some pressure to keep shareholders from paying them minimum wage.

And if they make the shareholders more money, the shareholders will be willing to pay them more. If the way they do that is by making the same margin on a higher cost base, that also allows the shareholders to pay them more. So the incentives all line up to have higher medical costs.

> Surely, UHC/Elevance/CVS/Cigna/Humana risk losing clients if they let their costs go up, and hence their premiums go up, and then a competitor offers their customers lower premiums.

But their competitors have the same incentives.

Suppose you could lower your costs. One thing you could do is keep charging the same amount of money and just make more money, but now that's prohibited. So already we have a disincentive to lower costs right there. Maybe we don't care about this one, but this one is often combined with the second one, and the incentive to achieve the cost reduction is what enables them to do the one we actually like.

Which is to lower prices to try to get more customers. So let's say they lower their premiums by 20% and that gets them 10% more customers. If their absolute profit per customer stays the same, now they're making 10% more money -- great. But now their absolute profit per customer isn't allowed to stay the same. It has to go down by the 20% their costs went down. Meanwhile the lower premiums only got them 10% more customers, so they're losing money on net. Why would they do that?

>Human performance generally decreases with level of exposure

Are you saying that as humans get more experience, they perform worse? I disagree, but irrespective of that point it’s wild that you can have this many responses while still completely bypassing the entire point I was making.

I don’t think most would argue that performance increases with experience. The point is how well can the performance be maintained when there is little or no exposure. Because that implies principled reasoning rather than simple pattern mapping. That is the entire through line behind my comments regarding context dependent language, novel driving scenarios, etc.

>Think on that

In the context of the above, I don’t think this is nearly as strong of a point as you seem to think it is. There nothing novel about a text-based discussion.
University is a piece of it. A large piece.

No matter how curious you are, you tend to benefit from learning from others. There is more to university than learning from books. You wind up being around folks you wouldn't otherwise be with. For some folks, it is their first experience being without supervision. And stuff like that. It doesn't need to be university for all so long as there is some sort of schooling that meets these needs for folks. We can start doing adult-lite at 15/16 and have people move into dorms their last couple of years. Doesn't mean that a lot of folks wouldn't benefit from university or something akin to it: A chance to have an intensive course learning another language, for example, with the goal of fluency.

You can't force anyone into being kind, and some folks are simply going to be sour. We do start teaching folks as children, after all. Make peace with the fact that some individuals aren't going to be: That's OK so long most folks are and it shows in society and programs that help others.
