Princeton ‘AI Snake Oil’ authors say GenAI hype has ‘spiraled out of control’
That's correct about Freud! I was referring to Magritte, who made the painting "Ceci n'est pas une pipe." By which he meant the image of the pipe was not actually not a pipe. Which means .. well I think you would have to read about it and I am not sure I am using the reference in the right way.

I believe Freud and the cigar is about our thoughts and impulses sometimes not having greater meaning in our subconscious. Magritte is about something different.
That’s not the only reason, as far as I’m aware. I believe unless you write your game in such a platform like Unity the Switch architecture and limitations are different enough from other platforms to often warrant significant extra work to port.

Are they motivated? Seems like a massive coincidence how the big two of the GPU world are cousins, and one has been having massive success on the CPU, the other on GPU/AI, and every attempt from both side to enter the other's niche has been pretty weak.

AMD compute is nowhere compared to NVIDIA. NVIDIA wanted to buy ARM, has got its finger in RISC-V, but apart from that, they don't really care. To be fair AMD has done decent with GPUs, but never enough to dethrone NVIDIA, whose playbook for the past few gens is "just make everything bigger than last gen and increase the frequency." Surely AMD could have chosen the same lazy approach to surpass the 4090 only just, but instead they didn't, so it's still NV undefeated in its space because AMD forgot to squeeze the last 1% out of their card.

The market is powerless if the competitors aren't really competing. Intel is the only chance, unless they manage to get their own Taiwanese CEO somehow related to Huang and Su.

> The clinical terms create discrete categories which might be useful to scientific research but have limited usefulness when you're considering a single individual.

This is the entire point of identifying said categorizations so you can at least have some chance in classifying an individual when they have an issue. It also allows you to identify if treatment for classifications is working on broad scales.

Yea, the world sucks that we exist in an analog continuum and use discrete labeling to save in information space and processing, but there is no solution to that for the time being.
Just give a wide range that sets the floor and gives room for growth.

When I was interviewing last time I told people I was hoping for somewhere in the range of 100K-200K (I'm not in the U.S.)

The lowest offer I got was 115K which I then negotiated up to 135K (the most they could pay).

Several companies bowed out because they weren't even able to offer 100K, and I was glad to have saved us both the time.

If you want 240K, say you want 200K-400K.

If you're looking beyond 300K, say your range is between 300K-600K.

I realize that, yes, you're putting an upper limit on that range and in theory you might get offered less (but you can mitigate this by adjusting that upper bound to be the top of the range for the next level beyond the position you're interviewing for)

E.g. when I interviewed at facebook I told them 150K - 300K

Bowser is an interesting case. He was clearly not an accidental victim of circumstance but his reparations are so far beyond what he did that it’s a good example of how corporations have the ability to crucify people way beyond what they should have the ability to do.
That only works if the team is all in the same office. When everyone is in the same office RTO makes a ton of sense.

When people are spread across multiple offices and all your meetings are on video calls anyway, it's really hard to justify RTO.

And this even applies within the same city. Google has so many offices just in the Bay Area they end up having video calls with local people because it's better than taking a shuttle to another office (same with Apple/Amazon/Meta/etc.)

> But it's undeniable that the discursive roots of modern psychology come from Freud in particular, and that when we analyze a phenomenon ("treatment" notwithstanding) we owe ourselves due diligence to understand it properly.

Sure, and people analyzing the "discursive roots of modern psychology" - historians of science - do talk about Freud. And Wundt, and James, and Watson, all of whom are of comparable significance in the history of the field. But scientists are not historians; they're interested in analyzing the actual thing out there in the world, not the way we talk about it.
They didn't add a profit margin because its a government project.

Until very recently, AMD was struggling for survival. Rather than making the big bet on AI, they went for the sure thing by banking on revolutionary CPU tech. I'm sure if they were in a better financial position 5 years ago, they would have gone bigger on AI.
Thanks for your kind words :) Now I really need to answer something, and it's not so easy based on the info you give.

I'll skip the standard religious answer to your question in terms of existential unsatisfactoriness - you can find that in the 1st chapter of any decent Buddhist book.

On the one hand, you could be someone whose mind is already fairly flexible, creative, open and not very compulsive, so you don't see much point in doing explicit work to make it even more like that. In which case, I'd say, just enjoy life and go with it!

The other possibility is that you could be (like many of us here probably) so deeply fused with your thinking mind that you have little experience or appreciation for the things consciousness can do beyond that.

Either way, maybe the point here is to remember that meditation is a tool among others, not a must or a panacea.

Do you sometimes feel a sense of awe? Exhilaration from music or some other source? Deep compassion for someone's misfortune? The thrill of riding a bike or some sense of flow from bodily exertion? The sense that time just stops in some special situations? The warm feeling of being part of something greater than you? A sense of mystery in life?

These are examples of things that most of us value when they happen, and yet they are neither happening at the level of the mental map (in the way that e.g moral philosophy is), nor reduced to bare sensory experience.

Deep meditation is about going deeply within yourself, and whatever you find along the way just becomes part of your journey of integration. There is no universal blueprint, bc the material you find yourself wrestling with is just whatever happens to have lodged itself in your unique psyche - traumas and all.

This should not be confused with the light meditation that has been popularized as "mindfulness" - that's a fairly safe technique that most everyone can probably benefit from having in their toolbox to help handle stress or bad times.

To the basic question "am I missing something", the only real answer is that if you feel curious, you can only know by giving it a try - thinking won't give you the info. If you were wondering about e.g learning to play the saxophone, you could get a pretty good idea whether it's worth your effort by listening to some on a cd. But this music is silent.

It takes at least 3 day immersive retreat, or (alternatively) a few months following e.g a weekly course with a bit of practice at home every day, to get a first feel for the space that meditation can open up, and decide whether you're interested in further exploring that.

I'm actually worried of the inevitable enshitification of Open AI.

Right now, GPT 4 is great and I use it every day. I rely less and less on Google and save a ton of time. Google has gone downhill hard for a few years, thanks to all these silly blog engines like medium, substack and the like.

I'm really worried and would like to 'freeze' GPT 4 as is, at least with the data up to Sep 2021, and for them to not change or tweak any of it further. I wish we could have an offline solution just as good, or a guarantee of GPT 4 LTS. I don't mind paying so as long as it's useful.

I'm convinced that inevitably, every successful engineering driven business falls into a marketing business; and once market research and sales drive every business decision, the product is boned.

Uh no. You are looking at a 20% load factor with solar, plus massive seasonal variations. It is completely non-doable with batteries.

Seriously, you seem like someone who is obsessed with doing it with batteries, not a person even remotely interested in finding a working solution.

Meanwhile, the alternative, just making hydrogen with the same renewable energy source and powering your ships with it, is sitting right there as an obvious answer. If you already admit to the existence of $0.02/kWh electricity, then the rest of the cost equation is also going to be low here. You've already solved the economics of the issue. The rest is scaling up, and this time there is no need for sails or downsizing ships.

Strong disagree sharing expectations is sabotage. Many companies will waste your time with lowball offers and you can easily find a top-of-range number through comps at other companies if there isn't already a published range. Netflix generally pays top-of-market and pays cash they're usually a good comp. Also you might not value equity the same way or they may be unwilling to give you the information you need to value their equity (which means it's probably worthless).

For some reason, all the images I have generated so far are unexpectedly sexualized even I when i try to give it completely benign prompts. I don't think it's just me. :-/

Right, but if the average recruiter already knows most this stuff, and the average candidate doesn't, it still brings the candidate closer to parity, even if both parties learn something.
> I would be surprised if they didn’t have specific example of them clearly being aware of that information and choosing not to act.

Yeah, I'm sure the FBI needed to bring out their top detectives to find "evidence" that the Tornado Cash devs where not aware that criminals used their service. I guess they never googled themselves or talked to anyone ever.

This case isn't a dispute about the facts. It's a fight about if existing AML legislation can be stretched to include new types of financial actors on blockchains.

Most people here simply have no idea how Tornado Cash operated, don't care to ask themselves what the underlying principles should be, what kinds of obligations should be in miners, and would probably support the arrest of Vitalik Buterin on money laundering charges.
> 99.9% of people using Microsoft Office are using it on one computer. I'd wager the majority of those people aren't using only Microsoft Office and nothing else.

If you step outside the tech bubble, yoı'll see Microsoft Office is actually used to do, you know, office work quite extensively. If you work in a big enough company, it is probably an Excel file transferred from your company to the bank that paid your salary. This is its major purpose and where it is being used predominantly. As you can guess, those files are being shared accross computers that run completely different OSes.

Word is a word processing program. Its job is provide a consistent experience in paper-form document generation. Its job is to be useful and consistent regardless of the underlying system. It gives you suggestions based on its own dictionary that has extra metadata. I doubt that your system has the exact metadata it has.

It could be a reasonable ask to support injecting words from the system user dictionary but those are rarely the formal words one would use regularly in Word.

Don't have a great one. I know he said he was in Africa[1] a few days ago and in a thread on this topic on reddit I saw people discussing some video he had released a few hours before but they didn't link it. They were also speculating if it had been recorded long before he has supposedly showed back up in Russia on that plane or not.

> They're still out there running right now, and nobody could shut them down if they wanted to.

No, but the US could start arresting validators on AML charges, and no doubt, many people here would support this too.

> They might have hosted some user interface code; I don't know.

That's just a static website though talking only to your wallet app. Somewhat similar to the fight around whether the piratebay is culpable for copyright violations. Many geeks used to support the piratebay.

The TC interface is hosted on IPFS. Can IPFS gateway operators not blocking the content be arrested on AML charges?
Yes, that's what the article states as well.
>I know several people that have ignored fire evacuation orders and saved their homes instead.

Lots of wildfire stories include people who ignored evacuation orders and died. This is just silly confirmation bias. The large majority of people who survive wildfires do so because they listened to government officials and implying that people should ignore evacuation orders is frankly stupidly dangerous.

>Shelter and place orders are another funny one. I have a lot of fond memories ignoring shelter in place orders hiking and camping in the wilderness during covid. It probably reduced my risk versus Sheltering at home. Blanket orders were one size fits all, made to address the person that is going to parties and bars.

How would going out lower your risk in this case? You obviously increased your risk, if only so slightly.

Edit* I literally just got notice of a level 3 evac that doesn't cover me but is near me. I'm sure all those "non-conformists" will stay and make life miserable for firefighters.
I agree with you that porn is disgusting, and that the people who view it are immoral. However, there are a lot of arguments to be made against capital punishment, murder, and other forms of vigilante violence. No nation with capital punishment is a stranger to wrongful execution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_execution

Encouraging state violence based on the fact that something is "disgusting" is not a good idea. Law needs to be grounded in concrete harm. The lines currently seem ill-defined, and existing laws in this area have been used against children (see State of Washington v. E.G., where an autistic child was charged and convicted with distribution of child pornography for taking a selfie and sending it to an adult).

That's a signal you can more easily get from a practice interview. In a real interview, you have no idea why you were rejected.

Maybe you don't present well. Maybe you present perfectly well, but somebody else had slightly more experience dealing with a specific problem the company needs solved. Maybe they already decided to hire somebody, but needed to conduct interviews anyway to satisfy the lawyers.

Is there a good way to extract that information out of an interview? I always ask for feedback, but I rarely get it.
I don’t find it particularly so. I sort of like that style captcha as it requires thought. One has to figure out to quickly estimate and not actually try to sum/count the exact numbers. Maybe you have to do it twice, but it’s not very hard for a lot of people, obviously or it wouldn’t be deployed in production.
If you set your teams up to fail by getting them to work on bad ideas that are not in their skillset, forcing technical choices on them that hamper them, controlling their inputs (budget) and outputs (marketing) and setting the deadlines to please shareholders without taking reality into account you can hardly be said to be patient, tolerant or forbearent.

Allowing teams to fail repeatedly is bad management. Someone at EA should be fired.
In the 80s you were "murdering" a handful of pixels. It's really not comparable. Neither In the 90s or 00s even though ever more pixels were involved.

I have to say though that this argument starts making a lot more sense with current VR tech. Sometimes it's really disgustingly realistic.

While I'm still not in favor of banning violent games, I do think a valid argument is emerging. I've never truly had a feel of fright playing on a 2d screen but since VR the spiders headcrabs of Half Life Alyx really make me panic sometimes.

On the csam side I'm just not sure if this would diminish or increase their interest. I would leave that up to someone who studied for this kind of insight.
> For now, the site is doing an internal review to see if there are more effective ways to format reviews—Frumin cited Wirecutter’s “22,000-word” air-purifier review as a triumph of the form and a work of great journalism, but he also noted that it’s not a style that all readers might prefer

I'm sure he thinks this is a good thing; length = good SEO, as any recipe website owner will tell you (!)

Wirecutter pioneered the "affilliate links" website model, which became competely commoditized in the post 2013 algorithmic social media era where everybody is one viral post away from setting up a Linktree shilling discount codes for all and sundry.

The site definitely feels like it's past its shelf life. Affilliate marketing is low-budget and skeevy today, churning out Iliad-length reviews of hand towels isn't hiding that well enough anymore.

I find it insane that they chose to reveal their real identities. Despite building a tool ostensibly for preserving privacy they were extremely negligent about their own. They must be incredibly naive to think they wouldn't immediately be under intense scrutiny from LEOs.

The one I am interested in is -D using AF_UNIX, but good to see everything possible working over AF_UNIX. It looks like curl as of about a year ago can use AF_UNIX SOCKS via the ALL_PROXY syntax socks5://localhost/path (or socks5h). It looks like this was added due to Tor using an AF_UNIX SOCKS proxy. I want it to be able to configure network access via standard unix permissions (and ideally, IMO, kicking TCP/IP out of the kernel entirely).
