I would say that C macros have inspired the development of concoctions of far greater magical qualities than, say, RAII. C programmers are not immune to violating the principle of least astonishment.

Does the C machine model in fact consist of a single linearly addressable memory space? I think the spec mostly talks about "objects" that are linearly addressable -- not about the whole "memory" (there might not even be such a thing). Technically you aren't even allowed to compare two pointers other than for equality (relational comparisons are possible only within the same array). Just making up pointers is probably already a stretch of the spec, although you'll see lots of that in e.g. embedded projects.

(Disclaimer: I really don't know all the details of the C standards, am not a language lawyer but know enough about the language to feel quite productive in it. Please fill me in or correct me where I'm wrong).

What Caused the US Pandemic-Era Inflation?
They absolutely did. Smartwatches were mostly seen as tacky before the Apple Watch. That’s part of why they chose a different form factor and partnered with luxury brands for bracelet. For Apple to make wearing them seems normal was not a given at all.
Bespoke = luxury. Someone else mentioned the Watch fittings and clearly that wasn’t needed to scale. This might be - but only one way to find out.

Well, the plot that you linked is awful, since it changes scale few times along the X axis, but is seems to me that mankind evolved in the one of the coolest periods ever, and the warming that we are observing now might just as well be Earth reverting to its normal state, and not caused by our CO2 emissions at all...
Evernote is not rocket science. Each new onboarding presumes the developer to make himself familiar with the project.

I don't get the "they won't know how it works", a senior developer should make himself familiar pretty quickly.
To scale into the mass market…
I don’t understand who is the one being “scammed” when a person runs a consensus and execution layer clients along with their 32 ETH? They attest and propose blocks so that users’ transactions get included in the blocks.

If you’re talking about the gas fees, that’s the pricing market at work, similar to toll fees for cars for highways. Layer 2s would be the train or megabuses on those highways - amortized gas costs by the number of people on them.

PoS ensures marginal rewards to everyone equally with the same percentage unlike Bitcoin. You either bought ETH at $8 a pop back in 2017, or you’re now buying it at $1850, but everyone will get ~3.3% rewards for staking. Not that much different from people buying stocks when it was lower and getting dividends.
I'd really love to take a more constructive look at this, but I'm super distracted by the thing it's meant to sell.

> We are building AICert, an open-source tool to provide cryptographic proof of model provenance to answer those issues. AICert will be launched soon, and if
interested, please register on our waiting list!

Hello. Fires are dangerous. Here is how fire burns down a school. Thankfully, we've invented a fire extinguisher.

> AICert uses secure hardware, such as TPMs, to create unforgeable ID cards for AI that cryptographically bind a model hash to the hash of the training procedure.

> secure hardware, such as TPMs

"such as"? Why the uncertainty?

So OK. It signs stuff using a TPM of some sort (probably) based on the model hash. So... When and where does the model hash go in? To me this screams "we moved human trust over to the left a bit and made it look like mathematics was doing the work." Let me guess, the training still happens on ordinary GPUs...?

It's also "open source". Which part of it? Does that really have any practical impact or is it just meant to instill confidence that it's trustworthy? I'm genuinely unsure.

Am I completely missing the idea? I don't think trust in LLMs is all that different from trust in code typically is. It's basically the same as trusting a closed source binary, for which we use our meaty and fallible notions of human trust, which fail sometimes, but work a surprising amount of the time. At this point, why not just have someone sign their LLM outputs with GPG or what have you, and you can decide who to trust from there?
Not illogical at all. It gives you information about the creators and is atypical for open source folks to commercialize in user-hostile ways. It's like a moral version of code smell.

The examples aren't very good analogies.

Nah, you're not an old man or anything like that. This is just the mainstream present technological scepticism. At some point marvelous technology became so ubiquitous we became blasé about it.

I still cannot understand the way people explain tying shoes. What's with the "wrapping the unlooped lace around the looped lace"? I'm trying to visualize that. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

It's just an ordinary "square" knot with the laces both folded in half in the last part of making the knot.
The BOOX devices do come with an OTG port, and it's possible to attach a MicroSD card via that, though the arrangement is somewhat perilous (risking physical damage to the card, OTG attachment, and port) and not ideal.

I too would have preferred an integrated MicroSD slot. Current cards are available in 1TB+ sizes, which should satisfy even my prodigious appetite.

I do make use of handwritten notes as well, both in documents (Neoreader) and in the notetaking app. I've found that far more useful than I'd anticipated, though searching notes is of course challenging.

I feel like the real solution is for people to stop trying to get AI chatbots to answer factual questions, and believing the answers. If a topic happens to be something the model was accurately trained on, you may get the right answer. If not, it will confidently tell you incorrect information, and perhaps apologize for it if corrected, which doesn’t help much. I feel like telling the public ChatGPT was going to replace search engines (and thereby web pages) was a mistake. Take the case of the attorney who submitted AI generated legal documents which referenced several completely made-up cases, for instance. Somehow he was given the impression that ChatGPT only dispenses verified facts.
Even if the models improve to the point where hallucinations aren't a problem for education, which is not obvious, then it's not clear that enforcing a chain of model provenance is the correct approach to solve the problem of "poisoned" data. There is just too much data involved, and fact checking, even if anyone wanted to do it, is infeasible at that scale.

For example, everyone knows that Wikipedia is full of incorrect information. Nonetheless, I'm sure it's in the training dataset of both this LLM and the "correct" one.

So the answer to "why not start now" is "because it seems like it will be a waste of time".
There are valid reasons why working for others is called being a "wage slave".

You’re missing the knowledge gained over time in your equation. You only need more people assuming that we don’t have technology that increases productivity.

I’m happy to see population numbers decrease and I’m ok with the stock market getting hit or having to make some sacrifices on lifestyle if that means a more sustainable way of living.

We keep hearing of food production issues caused by climate change. Why would we need more people? To starve them? To give them busywork? To have to figure out welfare?

I’m ok with going through shrinking pains, it should be a lesson that the fake reality we built for ourselves was not sustainable.
I don't understand why that is necessarily true.
Not only that, but it was the first YC company to go public. That said, their performance post-IPO leaves a lot to be desired.

i think my example of "balancing equations" was a poor one. obviously, there is almost never a single objective solution to a programming problem.

probably a better metaphor for programming is as a craft -- not a pure science, like math; not a pure art, like painting or writing; but much more akin to something like woodworking
RIM and Palm sold 15-20 million units this year. If Apple is only projecting selling a million iPhones they're going to have a hard time catching up to Palm and RIM's install base.
Not that this would justify it, but I'm curious if it even works. I mean I'm certain the people selling these things have some sleek presentations showing some datums with a million percent improvement, but I'm curious about for companies that have existed for some time. Does this dystopian mess even drive substantially better outcomes than they were getting using 'normal' hiring methods of the sort we've used for millennia? My intuition is screaming no.

I also think the argument that big companies wouldn't do it if didn't work is false. This is the sort of thing you're going to be able to create some big awesome presentation for, demonstrating that not only does it work, but it will end up saving you large amounts of money. Even if it does nothing of the sort. There's just so much room for number jukery, buzzwordery, and general shenaniganry - even if you never overtly lie.
The trend. Obviously nobody can predict the future either. But models have been improving steadily for the last 5 years. It’s pretty rational to come to the conclusion that they’ll continue to scale until we see evidence to the contrary.
Are you really pushing the Lost Cause narrative here? It’s revisionist history that’s widely rejected by historians. The main cause of the war was slavery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cause_of_the_Confederacy
Yes, in fact I think this is probably the best way.

I think it might be an issue that people shoot themselves in the foot by going for insane valuations to get more money for less equity- I think if you’re honest about your valuation then theoretically this system can work.
I think the most interesting thing about this post is the pointer to https://rome.baulab.info/ which talks about surgically editing an LLM. Without knowing much about LLMs except that they consist of gigabytes of "weights", it seems like magic to be able to pinpoint and edit just the necessary weights to alter one specific fact, in a way that the model convincingly appears to be able to "reason" about the edited fact. Talk about needles in a haystack!
"here's a link I found"? So you made a claim, then you googled for things that might support your view, then posted them after skimming them?

I had always looked at things like Oculus as a "gaming" accessory. And I demoed Google Glass about 10 years ago, and it didn't present a virtual screen.

Is there a reason why helium would be preferred over hydrogen? I know very little about the topic, but would have guessed hydrogen to be cheaper and easier to obtain (never mind replace), and should offer higher performance. Doesn't seem like safety would be hugely high on the priority list.
>Statistically, companies that raise venture capital are vastly less likely to succeed than those that are bootstrapped.

I'd wonder if taking VC money five times, failing 4 times and building a large and growing company 1 time, isn't better than bootstrapping a small and profitable company just 1 time.
You can totally start a community here without a NFT! In fact, we want you to! Everyone is allowed to create 1 public, private or hidden group for free. But! If you have a community NFT we can create a hidden group for you, and when members of your community sign into Caches with a wallet containing that NFT, we can automatically add them to that group. Unless you have that NFT you'll never even know that group exists or how much activity is happening behind the scenes. We can also attach a badge next to community members names throughout the site showing they're a member of that community if desired.

For example, this guy is part of the Layer0 community, as you can see by the little L0 icon below his name. https://caches.xyz/members/25016e3c/

For you that may mean nothing, but for other members of Caches that little icon may bring increased trust to that member, or help him identify another member of his community in a sea of random usernames. Here's a blog post about WordPress and sign in with Ethereum that gives a broad overview of the idea.

Alcohol is a potential catalyst and not a cause in these situations. There are underlying problems with people's psyche that lead to abusive outcomes. Add in centuries of religion supporting and encouraging the beating of wives and children who don't submit it's no wonder we as a species ended up where we are. Even Ghandi who was teetotaler hit his wife.

Point being, like anything, it's complex. Yes, alcohol is a factor in abuse. But it's not the cause.

It never was useful, people differentiate based on the choices they make outside of school and the people they meet. Public education is there to level out the childhood trauma and normalize things. It’s a big sander that levels down.
I'm not surprised, given the overwhelming focus so far that they've had on minimizing the bad parts of VR (motion sickness in particular). Since they're not going to have real mass-market production numbers anyway, they've gone all in on making the experience as positive as possible for those limited number of people who get their hands on one, even if that means burning a bunch of retail employee time on fitting and adjustments.

For some reason, even with the UCRT, binaries seem overly bloated. I've been toying with Zig over the past couple weeks and I really like that it doesn't rely on a C runtime on Windows. Plus it makes it easy to operate entirely with UTF-16 strings, which is a nice to have when I'm writing a utility that is specific to Windows.
OTOH systems not going as far as communism, but still with far more equitable outcomes than e.g. US system, have been tried as well and have been quite successful.

I don't think the surveillance system got much more sophisticated but for anyone wondering what china's surveillance system was like before the pandemic, I stayed in China three times for a total of about a month and a half in the 6 months before the pandemic.

When you get to the airport, you will likely notice the abundance of cameras, including paths which take you right under overhead cameras. Your photo will be taken at the airport border control and your visa will be stamped. You will get an entry card you must fill in before leaving china and present alongside your passport. This card details the hotel you will be staying at. If I recall correctly you also had to provide these details on the visa application form, as well as a recent photo.

When riding in a car, cameras on all major roads will periodically take photos of the front of every car every few hundred meters, accompanied with a literal flash.

Once you arrive at your hotel, you will be greeted with yet another camera, you will be required to check in your passport and have your photo taken. This system, I believe, is a government integrated system as between all the hotels I visited, they seemed to have a very similar computer with a similarly mounted camera.

If you plan to travel between cities, you will need your passport to buy the ticket. Once on the bus to a different city, it's possible someone at some checkpoint will abruptly enter the bus with a hand-held camera to videotape everyone's faces.

In large cities, especially the bigger ones, cameras are everywhere, there's cameras on top of cameras pointing at other cameras. Comedic cartoons of surveillance don't do it justice.

When using the metro (underground) transportation systems you will again be passing through gates with overhead cameras pointed at your face. Presumably to match up the chip-coins (or whatever the particular metro system of the city you're in uses) with routes taken and map these to photos of your face.

If you plan on taking a taxi, expect to have to use didi or something equivalent, didi doesn't take payments via bank cards, didi takes payments via wechat or alipay. To get wechat working as a foreigner in china, you must find Chinese people who will vouch for you to activate your account (let's hope you can chat up some people in a bar to help you with this feat). To get alipay working in china, you need a chinese bank account, unless you're extremely lucky and manage to get it working without one (I managed once out of my three trips). I'm pretty sure both alipay and wechat are tightly integrated into the chinese surveillance system.

I'm pretty sure the information which gets collected would be useless if it also didn't get dumped in a centralised system and processed collectively, so I'm pretty sure there is some centralised system with complex processing.
Text editing is actually a harder problem than gaming. For gaming you can very well do with relatively low resolution and big bright objects to shoot at. But displaying clear text requires way higher resolution.

I tried Pico 4 headset, and gaming-wise it is fine, you almost forget you are not in your room anymore, but run a browser, and eyes start bleeding out from horrible font rendering. It is somewhat better on Quest 2, but still too bad.
For down rounds the stats are probably much, much worse.
The alternatives have the whole unit in the headset in the front, which makes it very warm, sweaty and heavy for the neck - they're also nowhere near the required resolution for comfortably reading text in AR/VR, something that Apple seems to have solved.
