It appears like a very poor analysis overall. These closing arguments suggest lack of deep thinking: “Consider Alphabet, the parent company of Google DeepMind. Alphabet is not constrained by financial capital: as of March 2023, Alphabet had $115B of cash on hand.202 Alphabet is also not constrained by human capital: as of March 2023, Alphabet had 191,000 employees.203 If Alphabet wanted to, it could easily hire more AI researchers and allocate more software engineers to AI research infrastructure. But it chooses not to. Why? This deliberate choice presumably implies that Alphabet management doesn’t believe there is enough ROI from hiring more smart people to accelerate progress on AGI research. To us, this suggests that Alphabet management is bearish on the likelihood of transformative AGI by 2043. We also see this as a stronger signal than public markets, as Alphabet management is likely much more informed about AGI progress than the average stock trader.
Another implicit signal of low likelihood of transformative AGI is the comparatively low valuation of AGI companies. Consider Anthropic, which reportedly raised money in early 2023 at a valuation of ~$4B. $4B is ~0.004% of world product each year. If transformative AGI is soon able to do most human work, we expect it to be worth multiples of today’s world product. Supposing transformative AGI is worth $100T/yr, and Anthropic has a 10% chance of capturing 10% of the value for an expected duration of 10 years, that would imply a valuation of $10T (before time discounting). $4B is less than 1/1,000th of $10T, which seems to imply that Anthropic and its investors do not collectively believe that Anthropic has a chance of inventing transformative AGI by 2043 and capturing its value.”
Classic misapplication of generative AI. Why does this need an LLM at all? Just use a database of ingredients and let people figure it out themselves.

This is speculation, but I’ve noticed a trend toward Notion style “everything” services. They just added canvases and a couple of other features that are very much Notion inspired. Apps like Clickup are doing the same thing, inversely you have Notion adding project management.

The Google translate offline translation datasets are absolutely tiny - like, 20mb in size for French. Obviously this is heavily quantised and so on, but it’s not that surprising that a 30-60+ billion parameter language model outcompetes Google translate handily.

I assume you’re right - that Google translate hasn’t been updated to take advantage of much bigger, more computationally complex models. I suppose for direct translation it’s probably not needed, but being able to ask chatgpt to explain the translation (and any cultural nuances involved) is a game changer when you’re trying to learn a language.

Good thing nobody said that.

Your average free software doesn't get very much joy and gratitude back from users either.

> they can live a happy life. Why bring money into it. Money does not make happy.

If the implication was too subtle, the idea is that when you spend a lot of time making something valuable, it should go towards obtaining food and shelter and the other benefits of a living wage.

And those things do make happy.
They can. In the UK at least. I suppose there's a game theory element that if people know they get to keep the item then they could game the system themselves.

Bear in mind that Taiwan (the country) also calls itself China, and so did the rest of the world until the seventies.
There's also the problem of housing and that living in or very close to big cities (which you need to do in order for your "ambitions" to be noticed) has become expensive as hell.

Which is to say that almost no-one has time for shitty "ambition" that would make some multi-millionaires (angel investors and the like) into multi-multi-millionaires or even into billionaires, people have to live and to pay rent and to purchase very expensive avocados (because that's the only thing that they eat, of course).

But maybe the trust-fund kids who don't have to worry about all of these things will be able to find enough ambition among themselves in order to move things forward.

You can see people on Slack channels too, and their presence status if enabled. That said, I wouldn't count on that, as I leave one client always open and in non-away state just to seem that I care about my work.

That said, most horrible part about Slack is how more and more closed it is becoming; when there was XMPP bridge you could at least use some non-shitty client (hello, Electron) to interact with it.
Yes, you can do that. UniFFI allows you to generate Kotlin and Swift wrappers, which you can wrap in a RN wrapper. We did this at work for a cross-platform mobile app, it's a bit of a headache to create because that are some subtleties with async or these kind of things, and they are handled differently in the UniFFI wrappers and RN wrapper, but for relatively simple libs I find it pretty convenient.
It's assuming an inner-circle social relationship where not only none exists, but furthermore neither party likes the other — from your perspective. (I suspect the Slack team thinks they like you, even if you're of the opinion that they don't.)

It's the same as if the school principal who nobody really likes comes to you and says "Hey buddy, got a minute to chat?". Or a police officer (nuance differs per country here).
The Mainland is a well established concept when talking about China.

"Standard Chinese," "Mandarin Chinese," or however you want to call it (there are several terms in Chinese itself that refer to essentially the same thing) is the official language both on the mainland and in Taiwan. They have slightly different variants, but both standards grew out of the same historical movement to standardize Chinese. Both the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China wanted to create a national standard to enable universal communication in the country, and the PRC essentially adopted the standard the ROC had been working on.

You are destructuring the object here, and since it is a record type that is nothing more than its typed, ordered fields listed in the constructor, you just use it as its reverse function here, basically.

Destructuring for other kind of objects are planned with user-defined destructors. But it does have plenty prior art, e.g. in haskell you can deconstruct lists arbitrarily like _:secondElem:rest would bind secondElem logically.

It is also years of PhD and postdocs where you work a lot for a little money while having super large chance to be forced out despite your efforts. And having to move every few years where you get the job, which makes families more complicated.

Plus, competition for those slots is still high. It is not like there would be unfilled PhD or postdocs positions. There is more interests then available slots, leading to all kind of abuse.

Mortgage payments give you equity. Once you pay it off, you get title to building, and its full worth.

If your tenants are paying enough to cover your mortgage plus maintenance then after the mortgage is paid off (in 20-30 years), you can sell the building and not split the sale price with anyone.

Now, you do lose out on the interest payments. On the other hand, access to more capital via a loan gives you access to a better ways of generating money, so you need to calculate the full expected future value.

Just like if you buy the building with cash - no mortgage! - you have to factor in the effects of your lower liquidity.

In any case, my point is that your earlier "basic scrutiny" omits some very important "super fundamental" details so cannot be used to reach the conclusion you think it did.

You can check if translations are also better on Bard, that would partly answer that question

I assume the low latency you get from Google Translate is not feasible with current LLMs like ChatGPT. Translate is used to translate sentences on the go, live videos, translate entire web pages ; all of these would be too expensive (and slow) with an LLM... but things might change in the coming months/years as the tech improves.

You seem to be forgetting that sometimes you do not know if a recipe can produce a dangerous result.

Realizing that you should not jump off that cliff should be trivial; the outcomes of some chemical reaction may easily not be. That chemistry teacher that won the Darwin Award for beheading herself by dumping random chemicals of her lab (for disposal) under a manhole did not predict the reaction; easily the layman will not know what some combination will produce: this is why you need a trustworthy source.

Ask HN: Benefits to Keeping Packages Updated?
In light of the Moq issue yesterday[0] I'm interested to understand why the consensus seems to be so in favor of keeping packages up-to-date in software.

The common explanation I see is it "keeps you up to date with security and bug fixes".

But in practice this seems to just involve most orgs mandating Dependabot and mindlessly updating every dependency when a new version becomes available. (Yes in an ideal world you code review every change in every dependency, but... I mean, let's be real here. Just take the update frequency of the AWS SDK packages in isolation, very few orgs are actually doing this)

As a maintainer of an open source library I know most releases are a crapshoot, they're just as likely to contain new bugs and flaws as they are to fix old ones.

So staying up-to-date seems to open up codebases to far greater risks than outdated dependencies:

1) Zero days, a new package launches with some critical security flaw that isn't going to get noticed for some time.

2) Supply chain attacks, old packages are generally immutable. Therefore most supply chains attacks seem to involve take-overs of existing package (name)s by disgruntled or new hostile 'maintainers'. The new versions are far more at risk.

3) New bugs, the dirty truth of OSS is most work is done by unpaid people with little time or ability to focus. Most software isn't formally verified. New updates are a risk.

In addition the old version is a known quantity. Unless you know absolutely the version you are running is compromised (log4j, OpenSSL) what benefits does updating actually bring? The default presumption that version number goes up is better seems like yet more security/compliance cargo cult behavior.

What am I missing here?

It is not. Traditional Chinese is not used in mainland china. It was superceded by simplified Chinese in areas controlled by the Chinese communist party.

This is a rather basic piece of knowledge when discussing Taiwan and Chinese relations.

From Wikipedia [1]: "When flipped, most of the ballast for the platform is provided by water at depths below the influence of surface waves, hence FLIP is stable and mostly immune to wave action similar to a spar buoy."

British vs. American English seems like a good analogy given that they also have distinct language codes. Would Google translate camión to lorry vs. truck depending on en-GB vs. en-US?
The possible rise of PYUSD (which is a white-label Paxful) stablecoin should be seen in the light of the demise of BinanceUSD, another white-label Paxful stablecoin.

Also, they already have a stable coin, namely the USD itself, so why add this fad? The only useful addition to customers would be to add stablecoins that are not their own but coming from independent or even decentralised sources because this would increase users' trust and privacy.

This stablecoin does the opposite for users. But I guess seeing the $1.48 billion quarterly profit that Tether is making attracts this kind of business model.

You are correct. Uber tried their usual model here and we threw the law at them. Then they tried to ignore it (cause, why not, it worked in various US cities). And got hit over with the law again and again. Then they changed it to their current model.
I think that the reason is that waves only move water close to the surface, and FLIP's drag is centered way below it. It's clear to me how this should reduce rolling and lolling, but am less certain how it should affect bobbing.
Yes it is well known, but I wouldn't call it an issue per se, but rather a demonstration of the ambiguity of natural language. In any given language, many (most?) words have multiple meanings. Even if one of the underlying meanings of each word in your translation chain is "equivalent" (this could be a deep philosophical discussion of semantics on its own), each word-to-word correspondence for each language-pair has a different most-probable choice in the translation model (especially without context to help disambiguate).

The latest iteration is thinking about proper nullable/non-nullable types like String?.

While it's true that it had math.Min/Max, it's not just the inconvenience of castings that this solves. You can't cast uint64 to float64 and expect the function to return the correct result, e.g.:

x1 := uint64(9007199254740993)
x2 := uint64(9007199254740992)
fmt.Println(uint64(math.Max(float64(x1), float64(x2))))

will print 9007199254740992.

min/max and math.Min/Max are not equivalent.

The correct way to write min/max before was to use comparison operators. math.Min/Max was there because it requires tricky special cases for handling -Inf, Inf, NaN, and negative zero.
