It's possible that I misunderstand, but I think the title is a little inaccurate. Flux pinning goes beyond just levitation. In the embedded video we can see that the sample is not just levitating freely above the magnet, but it levitates above a certain fixed point. After gently poking the sample we can see it returning to its original position and orientation.

This @music is a nice OG.. too bad they ruined it for him.
Not to mention you can keep CEOs “aligned with shareholders” by firing them if they behave in ways that are misaligned.
I find being on Wall Street is nothing remotely special either as the only attraction there is the one from money. The competition then is to optimize profits, increase shareholder value, dream of becoming a billionaire, own a private jet, buy everything in excess of one's usage, and in all, end up upsetting the balance in society.
Billionaires are a choice and CEOs earning 225 million while sacking swathes of employees are a choice.

There is relatively little sympathy in these instances though because the laid of people are shockingly rich engineers (by normal people’s standards) but this is how you get a revolution.

Kind of tired of this low effort canned reply. Unless you are the literal embodiment of a state, it's always someone else's land. You're just renting it as long as you pay taxes on it. Same goes digitally. Hosting is someone else's land. Domain name registration is someone else's land. Do you say the same thing when a piracy site loses it's domain and moves yet again to another obscure tld?

The majority of us if we live long enough will need medical help to live or live well. For the overwhelming majority of these interventions there is medial evidence as far as the beneficial nature of these interventions which you cannot simply refute by your badly considered incomplete anecdotal understanding of other people's experience.

Of course more things go wrong as people get older but accident or illness can happen at any age and without intervention in the overwhelming majority of cases in which we intervene the outlook isn't great and many people have 40 or more years left when they need help.

Just as a singular for instance people become diabetic. No intervention means they die soon.

People break their bones. No intervention means people experience weeks to months of screaming agony and are far more likely to experience ongoing pain and permanent decrease.

People get pre-cancerous growths or trivially treatable early cancers. No intervention means they die decades early.

People get a bad chest infection and their lungs start to fill up with fluid. Non-intervention means someone who could have lived to 80 dies at 40.

People break their hip in their 50s with decades of life back. What is the chance of walking by just lying abed and drinking tea. It's negligible because certain kinds of breaks don't actually get fixed without surgery.

Here is some data on hospital admissions and emergency department visits per 1000 by age. You will note that even among the relatively young visits are not particularly uncommon. Young people are less likely to have something go wrong with their body but more likely to have something go wrong with their judgement and have an accident.

These people aren't all morons marching in lockstep to get snake oil they are going to the emergency room because they did something stupid and broke their legs or 1000 different other legitimate interventions.

At this point it's all but inconceivable that those would be removed from the app servers, iOS or Android.

In the early days if something had gone wrong, it might have been a different story.

Though I suspect that companies with good VC connections might have side channels into Apple or Google to clear up problems.

Not like little guys who can wake up one morning to discover their $20K/month business is no more.

Yeah, they don’t. I’ve been using their cloud stuff since iTools and they’ve always been pure crap. Apple just doesn’t “get” the whole website thing for whatever reason lol

I worked for a company that grew from about 30 employees, 4 of whom were programming/networking. As we grew, the network side grew to 6 permanent and development to around 15. We stayed at those counts until we hit nearly 200 employees and were acquired by a much larger company. Organizationally, I was responsible for development and reported to the COO. Network reported to a separate manager also reporting to the COO. I had responsibility for audits etc., so the network group was also dotted line to me. I chaired the IT committee which included the COO and all operating managers. The committee was responsible for product. We were very successful with our product development. Finally, I reported to the board of directors quarterly. It was a fun experience. Best of luck to you.

With JWST it seems we might be able to get closer to an answer[1]. Sterile neutrinos[2] seemed like an obvious candidate, but we'll see how that pans out. Current searches aren't positive[3][4], but I suppose it's far to early to call it quits on that given the theoretical motivation.

As any father says in any Hollywood movie: my house, my rules.

So... the 'thermostat' is theirs and theirs alone. You are just allowed to eat/sleep in your parents house. You're not entitled to anything in it.

Perhaps the $8 per month may give you some 'rights' but I'm sure the T&C give them the upper hand.
Are you a CEO of a public company or still private? There is a huge difference in incentives from institutional shareholder pressure.

Can we not keep spreading obvious propaganda about “child porn”? It’s completely and very obviously illegal to post such things. If anyone was posting it anywhere, on or off Twitter, they’re going to prison. Twitter deletes any such material, and always has, and reports people to the police. So there aren’t any known non-anonymous people out there publicly posting child porn to Twitter that lasts longer than an instant before it’s deleted, banned and reported to the police.

Never in history have companies hired more employees for the sake of having more employees. This isn't a new modern or even libertarian hypothesis.

Do you think people in 1000 bc hired more employees than they needed just maximize headcount. Of course not. You want enough to get the job done and not more.
It's stunning how you can make that much money while also pretty much completely burning the company to the ground. Destroyed nearly all trust with consumers, the core product is mostly a joke, every legal jurisdiction out there has a case against Google pending, and oh, yeah, even Google's own employees have been shaken by the layoffs and many of the usual shills for the company have gone quiet because, well, they stopped getting paid.

If CEO pay is supposed to have any relationship to actual outcome, dude should be long gone, not be getting salary increases.

Sure, shareholders have gotten some short term gains, but the company no longer has a positive long-term outlook.
Maybe it's a good thing to repeat it again and again so we can see how ridiculous it is. Sometimes people really need to be hit on the head.

I'm sorry, I didn't ask you for a poem-like text generator.

Your claim was:

> LLMs Can produce output that is equal in intelligence and creativity to humans. It can even produce output that is objectively better than humans.

I don't see this poem about half-dragon / half-hippos as particularly creative, but I'll preempt the "my opinion vs your opinion" with this: it definitely does NOT surpass what humans can come up with. Human poems are unarguably better.

And this word salad of a poem definitely fed from human creations and is derivative of them.

I didn't ask whether LLM could create poem-like texts.

Go nuts, make it 7 dimensional.
I sort of understand that Mozilla wants to care for the concept of an open internet which requires a lot more than just software development. I don't particularly understand or like the exact things they finance, but politics is a complex game in which you loose if you don't play.

What I absolutely fail to understand though is why they don't have long-term focus on diversifying income? All their alternative revenue sources are neglibile, and their strange attempts to provide paid products seem to be either hobby-projects of someone at mozilla (ex: pocket) or a cheap rebrand of a product (ex: vpn).

Is this comment attempting to say “fixing this problem will upset powerful people?”

I’m aware of that! But that has been true of most of society’s large scale positive transformations.
A "would you like something being taken away from you?" is not a thought experiment but a suggestion on what to think.

I think a lot of people have depended on work for a large part of their social lives, and a lot of others feel conscripted into that. It's going to be a rough transition.

Ultimately I think it's even broader, as we reconsider the 40 hour work week and even the need for universal work at all. And that will be even tougher.
Because, ultimately, the models are modelling human reasoning.

Not only that we do not have any evidence to support the idea that reasoning has a higher quality than we can apply to it using logical processes. It can be done faster, it can be done many times concurrently but ultimately 1 || 1 !& 1 is going to be have the same answer.

The whole idea of superintelligence except as a measure of speed or quantity seems flawed on its face. And if we are to call speed or concurrency superintelligence, then we have already hit that mark some time ago.

AI wins at games because of time compression, not because of an inherently superior logic. They just have time to consider more potential outcomes.

Lack of FTL limits what stories can be told, and I'd rather have exploratory stories than 100% sticking to the rulebook. Break one rule to enable exploring the implications of all the others. Scifi is meant to be "what if" in nature.
If you can justify the expense, keep the DSL and get fiber too. Have your own multihomed redundant connection. Become invulnerable to either services' foibles.

Your connection will stay up until some guy with a backhoe digs up the only fiber into town. You could add an LTE modem and a satellite (not starlink) dish, tho, and get a little more grip.

I am extremely skeptical that at the higher levels of CEO pay there is any marginal utility.

I just don’t think the improved management quality you get from an additional $1M is actually making the company more than $1M in profits. Seems like a failure of markets
It is not the same as a dividend. Not even close.

By definition, one returns cash, the other doesn’t.

The stock buyback also prevents market price discovery because of an artificial price floor.

The buyback is also a subject to buyback tax, transaction fee at the broker, and the benefits of the buyback are not captured by the long term holders, only by short term holders, e.g. insiders, who often sell into the buyback guaranteeing a price floor and effectively an execution price.
Really? That would have been news to Harper Lee.

Fact of the matter is using twitter for 16 years provides no additional value to the company than someone using it for a day. No one cares how old your facebook is for example.

Platforms that wanted to provide user pages at the top level were always gonna have this issue. Nobody would want a user to name himself "support" or "customerservice".
I would not like that, but also understand how purchased real property, which has a long history dating thousands of years and a whole legal system and framework on point getting into even minutiae (Rule Against Perpetuities anyone?) is different than squatting on a generic username on someone’s new tech platform for free.

In the former case, I would usually have legal recourse, unless this is a dystopian future where Twitter can leverage eminent domain.

It’s a bad comparison.
For dial up, sure, but given most home internet connections are now always-on connections, dynamic IPs is just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic (OK, that's not a great analogy). Unless the ISPs two options are static IP and CGNAT, then a dynamic, non-CGNAT IP is just rent-seeking.
That makes sense to you and me but...if the world were only populated by people who were happy to just have enough to live a comfortable life as soon as they could, or even a very rich life as soon as they could cash out, then we would not have half the insanity we do today. And Sundar Pinchai and other CEOs could have quit a long time ago if they wanted to do that. If I were in the place of ANY CEO today of Google, Microsoft, Facebook, of course I would quit immediately with far LESS money and do something else....but they don't, speaking of the incredible pathology that lies within them.
Consequences should also go to the attackers.

The attackers are to blame for their actions, just like the corporations who insist on collecting and storing our data, but refuse to take steps to adequately protect it are also to blame for their negligence and/or incompetence.
From what I remember, non-power-of-2 compression schemes tank inference speed (assuming Q6_k is 6-bit; I haven't actually verified if ggml q6_K llama is slow). Meanwhile, the site claims a speed-up.

But I do actually agree with you - they should really be benchmarking against popular competitors. In my experience, fancier quantization is a _lot_ of work for fairly little gain (at least for neural nets). I also think that ML techniques such as quantization (or fancy param sweeps, feature pruning, that kind of stuff) tend to either get in-housed (i.e. the model will come quantized from the source) or get open-sourced.

In-housing of ML techniques tends to happen more often if there's a money-making model where the hardware running the model costs money, but running the model brings in money.

Because you can both participate in society and be critical of it at the same time. I am a founder, but we've worked hard to focus on profitability and staying healthy. I started a company because I wanted a place where people could feel safe, do good work, and as much as possible not worry about the things I detailed.

A public option, then? In the current climate, I'd prefer public options be not-for-profit (well, I'd prefer they exist at all, but of course it was sniped dead during negotiations for the ACA in the case of healthcare), but fair enough.

Honestly I'd be fine with the government profiting if it could be tied back to a mechanism that directly reduces a taxpayer's burden, basically "your tax share is reduced by x because total profit from government-run institutions was y"

It might even work to incentivize lawmakers to legislate in favor of the profit of such institutions in that they could then tell their constituents that they were responsible for their lower tax burden in a given year.
