The surface of water is warped by a rock thrown into a pond, but no rock is transmitted by the waves. The electromagnetic field is disturbed by accelerating charges but no charges are transmitted by the EM waves.

In any case, mass is not the only thing that warps spacetime. The components of the stress–energy tensor [1] include energy (which includes mass) density, energy flux, momentum density, and momentum flux, the latter of which is composed of pressure and shear stress components.

I feel as though nuclear weapons have purchased an everlasting hedgemony. If the US really started to crumble and I mean actually crumble, we'd just go back to the form of government we had developed during WWII: a centrally planned militarized state where non-useful sections of the economy are rationed or outlawed, useful sections of the economy are simply told to follow the directive of military command, labor is either conscripted or otherwise has no choice but to work in a job environment dominated by government openings, communications are monitored, press and media are tightly controlled, and any political opposition within government structures is systematically rooted out and silenced. I believe we'd sooner revert to this and bomb the world into submission "for the good of the nation" than relinquish this hegemony.
This is one of the things that make me uncomfortable about proprietary llm.

They get task performance by doing a lot more than just feeding a prompt straight to an llm, and then we performance compare them to raw local options.

The problem is, as this secret sauce changes, your use case performance is also going to vary in ways that are impossible for you to fix. What if it can do math this month and next month the hidden component that recognizes math problems and feeds them to a real calculator is removed? Now your use case is broken.

Feels like building on sand.
Anybody else experiencing really bad scrolling performance?

I'm using Firefox.

In Chrome it's a bit better, but still not smooth.

I wonder what causes the lag - the page doesn't look complicated.
I'd guess missing the ability to sideload is also a huge factor. If Google doesn't allow Dolphin, they can use a different store or distribute the apk themselves. If Apple doesn't allow Dolphin, all the effort is in vain.

It’s more about knowing where it’s most helpful. I use GitHub copilot as well, and that’s generally more useful.

But ChatGPT is good for unit tests, well defined, mostly isolated functions, things where I’d need to do a lot of googling and reading of documentation, shell scripting, etc.
It seems like this might be a new form of taxation.

Instead of taxing people directly, which requires voter approval and creates bad press for the politicians involved, why not instead just create the money you need and pass the costs down to taxpayers in the form of inflation?

It is the worst kind of tax though because it affects the poorest people the most, since rich people have their assets that rise with inflation.
I’m also singing ts-rest.com’s praise these days. Admittedly a small project with <25 endpoints atm, but holy crap, I am saving SO MUCH TIME on implementations, documentation, and bug hunting.

I have separate packages (in a monorepo) for the “contract definition” and the “API implementation” (which is currently NextJS, but likely Express in the future — and the migration path looks like very smooth sailing)

Request/response validation, OpenAPI spec, fetch & react-query clients without any additional effort. Mocks for tests auto-generate based on contract definition as MSW. It almost feels too good to be true.
I don't understand why so many people don't understand the "the elites" consist of multiple people, who don't all have the same incentives. Many elites own commercial real estate and would love rents up. Many elites rent commercial real estate and would love to keep rents down, or close the office entirely to save money on rent.
Yea, me and my imperial buddies been doing it like that forever. We just go around colonizing and taking stuff, doing real imperial shit, know what I mean?
Bit population count is useful for many things. MMIX has SADD ("sideways add", which is also a bit population count), and also has MOR ("multiple OR") and MXOR ("multiple XOR"), which are also useful (for many purposes, including endianness conversion (even PDP-endian), reversing the bits in a byte, hashing, and others) but I had not seen on other instruction sets.

In GNU C, you can use the function __builtin_popcount to make bit population count.

> We cannot identify the interval between two notes just by listening

He's being (purposely?)confusing here, but in context what he's saying is that you can't determine the names of intervals just by listening: i.e., you can't distinguish between an augmented fifth and a minor sixth just by listening to the two pitches.

> If you did this with any group of musicians

I think you mean any group of musicians in the modern western tradition. Not all traditions count the same way, or even treat numbers as a standard way of marking rhythm. I suspect that if you counted 1-2-3-4 to Sappho she'd just look at you funny and throw her lyre at you or something.

I'd like to be gracious and assume the author is using this weird phrasing to emphasize this universality of his points, but I honestly suspect he's being purposely obscure to emphasize his professorship.
"I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on" is also more or less what I was thinking when I deleted my Twitter account.
> And he counts rhythms starting with zero. If you did this with any group of musicians, they would shout you out of the room. Imagine Mick Jagger yelling, "Zero, one, two, three!"

Of course this makes way more sense because it drives home the connection between rhythm and modular arithmetic.

Used to be three cycles.

Unfortunately, the original AMD64 back in 200x lacked a popcount, so most software built for PCs even today lacks any instances of the instruction. Means to get the instruction generated are finicky, non-portable, and often result unexpectedly in a function call, instead. E.g., without a "-m" option, Gcc and Clang will turn "__builtin_popcount()" into a function call. Likewise, "std::popcount()" and "std::bitset<>::count()". Always use at least "-mavx".

What would salting do? The sender would need to share the salt anyway. I guess it would eliminate a database of number hashes approach but brute forcing a salted phone number hash should not be a big problem in any case.
Assuming that there's some functionality by which if you know someone's phone number, you can identify them in some UI, how would you salt this?

Do you salt all the phone numbers with the same salt? Do you send out the salt and expect phones to respond with the salted hashes (in which case, how does this achieve anything?). Do you salt based on geographic location? (Again...) Do you make every phone use the same salt and try to hide it?

What does it even mean to trust a company? What is it that you trust about them? I trust that they'll fire and replace every single employee with AI when they can. They will grow vast fields of humans, like in the movie The Matrix, to power their AGI, if they will get away with it (they're not really humans because they were grown, not born).
How about I just praise them if I genuinely feel they deserve it instead of picking and choosing when to praise in attempt to mold them into something I want them to be.

He bought into Tesla; he didn't come up with the ideas nor found it. SpaceX came at a time when NASA was investing in private companies to replace the shuttle program (and more). He didn't come up with any of the ideas there, either. As far as I can tell he hasn't invented anything of note.
The cause of what? We don't know much about the cause of the republic because any records of that were lost in the first sack of Rome. As for the cause of the fall of the republic, Julius Caesar did not cause those factors to exist, but in him we see the culmination of a hundred years of learning how to abuse the flaws in their civic constitution. He wasn't the first, but he put all the pieces together.

In fact, I think he's quite similar to Philip II, who put all the pieces together in Macedon. Alexander the Great was able to reach such heights because he had the way paved for him, the same way Julius Caesar paved the way for Octavian.
The stealing open source code is generally extremely difficult to prevent in practice; nobody knows by default if you copy-paste some open source code into a closed code base. But this shouldn’t prevent us from calling out bad behavior when we do see it.

Legally, of course, LLMs are not people. They don’t have the same rights as people, and it isn’t obvious whether or not they can legally generate new IP. They operate by a complicated but essentially mechanical process, and it is pretty novel to say that such a process could be used to remove copyrights.
To reframe your argument more charitably, it seems like most people agree that managing a remote team well is probably a lot harder than in person, and we already know that many managers have not even received the training to do well with an in person team. So we should not be surprised if they are not taking this well.

Hope in Russia in the 90s:

-Pay a policeman 250 bucks to bury the guy you killed and make up the paperwork

-Oligarchs like Abramovich buying up privatization vouchers from poor grandmothers and factory workers who didn't know what a stock was and were starving.

-Yeltsin being drunk 24/7 and fucking everything up.

-Any big city being filled with gangs made up of disgruntled Afghan/Chechnya veterans.

- The start of the massive HIV epidemic because all the healthcare and tracking went to shit (Russia has about 1-2% of the population that is HIV positive, which is 4-5x of most european countries).Also start of the turbo drug problems in Russia.

99% of the Russian population at the time did not understand what free markets/liberalism/democracy meant. Those that understood are now the guys you see on Forbes lists and in government.

In practice, you'll have created a billion-dollar SaaS corporation and helped write legislation. The fundamental issue is that data quality and handling practices mean this information will always be "truthy". At a base level your input comes from an office clerk who's medium-engaged in the process and who's asked for quantity over quality.

The entire financial network (imho, from my perspective, etc etc) is "best effort" and mutual agreements. Nobody involved wants to cast a string to a legal agreement.

> How are "the elite" forcing companies that do not own real estate and who rent their office space to mandate RTO?

Well, for one thing, the people who own real estate and the people who run Fortune 500 companies are the same people. What do you think the CxOs and board members do with their money after they cash out their outsized stock grants? Hide it under the mattress? No, they invest it, and often they invest it in whatever's "cool" that year - in this case commercial real estate. Even if the exact same person doesn't have feet in both camps, there are likely to be favors going back and forth between them. So, renting isn't the smartest move for chairperson X's company? That's OK, says building-owner Y. We'll make it up with deals from the other companies I own, or you can get a special bonus when you jump ship to join our other friend Z's company because they owe me a favor.

It's not a conspiracy theory when the possibilities are legion. No coordination is required; it's more of an emergent network-effect kind of thing. I've seen people I know[1] make these kinds of deals. In general they fall below the "breach of fiduciary duty" line, but even when they're clearly crooked they're unlikely to be prosecuted. Even the DAs and such who aren't hoping to walk through the same revolving door lack the resources to prosecute such complex and uncertain cases. They have more career-enhancing things to do. We could argue about how much it happens, or how much it's driving the push for RTO, but the ultra-dismissive tone of some commenters here smells just as fishy as anything coming from the other side of the discussion.

[1] No, not friends. I like my friends moral. But I'm not 100% in control of who moves into my neighborhood, who joins the clubs or engages in the activities I do, etc. Sometimes they mention these things directly, because I can pass as a business-savvy person and they don't even realize these things are wrong. Sometimes I overhear them, because braggarts tend to be loud. If you've never moved beyond the semi-rich techie circle and met people in the really-rich business circle, you might not appreciate just how bad these people tend to be.
1. The numbers LinkedIn show apparently track clicks, not applications.

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mitch-king_have-you-been-put-...

2. My take on applying for jobs is that it's become so easy now to apply, that recruiters and companies are utterly, utterly swamped with applications. I suspect normally at most only the first 20 or 30 are examined.

3. I work as a contractor, and I'm on good terms with a number of agents. Speaking to one last week, he said his application email inbox has like 700 unread emails. It's impossible to process. Most of those emails will never be read.

4. The approach I'm now taking is to contact the good agencies I know, have a chat, explain what I do, and leave my CV with them. I think the majority (75% perhaps) of roles are filled before they are advertised.

5. A key necessity I've found is being prepared to relocate; it's often unlikely work will be where you happen to be living.

> a derivation is the reification (or realisation, as in, "make it real") of a function call on the filesystem. IOW the concrete result is derived from the function call, memoized using content addressing.

The docs are much better at describing this as "a derivation is a build task." I don't care that it's the return value of a function call, I don't care that because the language is purely functional it may be called lazy and memoized and so on. They are interesting technologically, but the abstraction is bad if it is so leaky you need to understand the internals to use it.

> You could say that derivations are like packages, but that would be a lie,

> a flake is a central definition of a number of target derivations in the context of a specific source state of dependencies.

It's a package. More specifically, a package definition or description. People understand that the result of package installation depends on the total resolution of dependencies and this may be fairly fine grained or a difficult to parse graph (they just trust that the package manager does the "right" thing). Most modern package managers do this and it's not confusing to call it a package (although, it's in good company because every package manager likes to call their packages something cute and different).
> But isn't that what "unconditional" demands of you?

I think we're stuck on this word.

Unconditional means, to many, "without any conditions attached" i.e. I will love you even if you don't love me back. I will love you regardless of the amount of money, status, good looks, $FOO, $BAR or $BAZ you have.

I will love you, no matter the consequences, or the pain I will feel for doing so.

IOW, it is love you feel without control; if you have control over it, it is conditional.

I have not, until now, come across a definition of unconditional love to mean "I'm such a great person, I will love you even though you are not", or similar.
That doesn't make much sense, because in the 90s Russia was not the authoritarian dystopia it is now, so good how is one projecting experiences from the 90s by observing that obvious fact?
If you mean it on the trivial meaning that "computers most in principle be able to simulate a brain", then yes, and it has been obvious for many decades already.

If you want to say that we know what algorithms to use to simulate a brain, then no, and this paper is one advance on the goal of knowing those algorithms. But it does not go all the way there.

A lot of people in [0] were just getting their cues from actual physicists who were, for the most part, skeptically and cautiously optimistic at that point in time. I wouldn't call that "falling" for fake news/fraud. I would call that a sensible approach to forming opinions about what to believe.
I see articles like that every one to three months for the last 10 years.

I remember in 2010 there was an investigation reporting about how how shocking amount of credit card debt Americans have or etc.

I’m sure there is basis in reality, but I think these “X-type of person is having financial issues” blog articles are popular because people identifying with that problem (as small of a number of people that maybe) love sharing and pointing to the article to justify their own troubles. This creates more ad revenue for the producer.

Her "reasoning" if we can call it that, was that a lot of WFH people were not at all committed to Yahoo's success (for good reason, it turns out). No one knew what they were doing.

I suspect that a really good company can manage with WFH, but a marginal one with unmotivated employees really can't. Maybe that's a good thing.
Some comparisons. My electricity (large SFH with 2 people) is 35$ a month (11c kWh)(in Seattle I let the 2nd floor get hot and only turn on AC from like 4-7pm, and most appliances are fairly energy efficient. So I’m not sure how to spend more electricity without an EV). My internet is maybe 70$ for 1gb (which I’ve never maxed out and could lower to like 300mb if needed) for Xfinity.
I started working with asbestos while modifying vans for handicapped people to drive back in the early 70s. We used it as a heat shield when we lowered the floors in vans for people in wheelchairs to drive.

I would watch guys I worked with stand in a cloud of dust cutting up 4'x8' sheets of asbestos. I'd offer them my respirator and they'd refuse. They considered that to be unmanly and made a point to give me shit over that.

A few years into that work I convinced the engineers who'd designed those asbestos heat shields to use galvanized sheet metal, which is what the OEM used and we removed. It was less expensive, easier to fabricate and install, and it worked a lot better.

I owe Paul Brodeur a lot, and so do many others.
No, I'm not being hyperbolic. There is one reason for the SEO algorithm to reward longer articles, and that's ad revenue. To paint it as anything else is lying. And you opened up this conversation extremely rudely with "OMG are you so dumb you think he owns Google."
