It's a pretty standard belief. We've spent centuries as a species investigating the consequences of simple approcimate rules like F=ma.
Indeed, most modern approaces to controlling drones use other more advanced techniques that (ab)use the computational power of modern MCUs, PIDs are used only near the actuators to keep the motor torque within an optimal range or things like that. For the flight trajectory fancy drones use things like model predictive control combined with convex optimization algorithms to avoid obstacles very reliably (see for ex. [1]).

Oh no! Are they going to teach Tanzanians how to build a high speed rail network or lift a billion people out of poverty? Awful stuff. Think about how many minerals in Tanzania could have gone to western corporations and their shareholders. What a shame.
There literally aren't other options.

Start with Pytorch; if you removed CUDA support, all that's left is hacks honestly. Stuff like Olive and DirectML is equally as proprietary as CUDA while also less-developed, and Metal Performance Shaders are a hacked wrapper for GPU compute. See for yourself: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/backends.html

There's also ONNX, a Pytorch alternative made by Microsoft that focuses on optimizing for as many targets as possible. It is very difficult to use though, and still under active development.

Generally, the issue is that our FAANG companies hate each other too much to do anything about Nvidia. AMD and Apple did have a working relationship (and even a GPGPU acceleration library), but now they are bitter enemies.
Keep in mind this is a very 'zoomed out' view of the power grid. In reality every country is going to have grid limits internally and different sources of demand in different places.

For example, in your Finland observation it may be cheaper/easier to supply the north of Finland from Sweden rather than send the power that could otherwise go to Estonia to the other side of the country, probably not a lot of north south distribution internally in Finland because of terrain (I know Norway really struggles with this, you can see huge price differences in the north of Norway vs south of Norway on EPEX Spot - https://www.epexspot.com/en/market-data), so I would assume Finland is the same.

The UK also has huge bottlenecks north/south in distributing power. There's 4GW of HVDC planned to transmit power from Scotland to England, for example. Probably much more is going to be needed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_HVDC
Your cult had radical beliefs but so did abolitionists in the early 1800s.

The political meaning of the world radical traces back to a British movement of, as Wikipedia puts it, “the late 18th century to support parliamentary reform, with additional aims including lower taxes and the abolition of sinecures.”

Parliamentary reform, lower taxes, and the abolition of sinecures were once the literal definition of radical.

The idea of this piece to tar and feather mass movements as inherently bad happily and absurdly glides past the reality that basically everything he says about bad mass movements also applies to good mass movements. The fundamental problem with these movements is that in the moment it is hard to tell the useful from the destructive. Neither this discussion nor the original piece seem to offer much useful information on sorting the two cases. People instead seem to embrace these ideas to justify their feelings about “bad” social movements (including those with ambiguous qualities that they personally dislike).

If the literal text changes, and the link to the specific piece of text breaks because the link is just the words. But what if the change to the text is fixing a typo, or changing 'he' to 'they'?

If we can analyze these machines deeply and understand how they are doing this, is it possible that we can extract some kind of general purpose pattern recognition and manipulation algorithm or set of algorithms?

Are we just inductively generating algorithms that could in fact run more powerfully and efficiently if they were “liberated” from the sea of matrix math in which they are embedded?

Or is the sea of matrix math fundamental to how these things work?
You'll understand how it's your problem when you try to buy the latest SoC and can't because the TSMC fabs were destroyed during the invasion of Taiwan (or something like that).
Your note says, "A Server Driven UI is when the API tells the client which components to display and with which content." Your description of server-informed UI is, "Render concrete boxes, sections, paragraphs, lists. Render the visual page structure." What's the difference?

More concretely, in your example:

{
"section1": {
"topBoxTitle": "Foo",
"leftBoxTitle": "Bar",
"linkToClose": "https://…"
},
"section2": {
…
}
}

I was thinking these keys are special and a different page would also have "section1" with "topBoxTitle," but maybe I misunderstood. If these keys aren't special and the frontend dev is just humanly interpreting this differently on each page then defining the actual layout to display it, that's probably fine. But I wouldn't describe this as rendering the visual page structure in the backend.

Ok, but...did you ever in fact create or scale any of the products themselves? Write any of the code, design the UI/X, administer a system? The impression I get, and perhaps I am mistaken, is no, you are by experience purely a manager, who told other people to create and scale systems.

You're being downvoted but your analysis is correct. In this case, the article is meant to combine two clickbait antagonists ("book bans" and "ChatGPT"). Like you mention, there's a finite amount of both physical space and time for "books" in a library and curriculum. I'm not sure if people are imagining that both of these things are infinite, but decisions will eventually have to be made about what to include or not. "Book bans" is a good sorting phrase, because people like to imagine (as some sort of LARP) that their political enemies are the Nazis from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, marching around in a circle lighting otherwise reasonable things on fire. Doing this makes it easier to bully people in the middle to agreeing with you, and less easy to actually take a dispassionate approach to analysis of the situation.

In the spirit of xanadu, would you mind posting a link?

In searching your keywords, I did come across a font of wisdom in the form of "The Autodesk File: Bits of History, Words of Experience" which contains some chapters on Xanadu and Autodesk's relationship and acquisition - which I've managed to be wholly unaware of despite being a xanadu enthusiast (in so far as buying a couple of Ted's books and watching his videos on youtube counts :)

Accurate. An understated part of this is the hollowing out of the middle class in all small and midsize towns beyond commuting distance of the big cities, or not desirable enough to be a professionals' commuter base.

When industry and commerce located its bureaucracy within towns, this provided a social backbone. The small factory owners, trucking business owners, bank branch managers, who together with clerics, family doctors and teachers made up an established middle-class. The women usually didn't work, and had time to maintain the social fabric.

Most of this commercial, management, admin work now happens at regional, national or international level. Such professionals as there are are often on fairly short term rotations. If you're a young graduate, why on earth would you stick around..?
Machine language architecture is flawed. The assumption of alignment is in the machine language.

Compilers can only use the instructions that are there. They have a difficult choice: close their eyes and generate aligned-pointer moves, or use a sequence of tests and partial move instructions that is orders of magnitude less efficient.

We've needed machine instructions to load or move memory efficiently regardless of alignment, for decades.

Last Wednesday evening Kris Nova had a climbing accident and died.

All of us that loved her are heart broken and stunned. She was an amazing person that lived out loud and built connection and community wherever she went. She will be horribly missed.

A guy I knew in high school back then was actually working on that: turning a commercial mini-disk player into a data storage drive. He said it was really difficult because the (lossy) compression was baked into the hardware. I don't remember if he succeeded to any degree.

I bailed on Fellowship about 50 pages from the end, I think. Gandalf had just fallen a few pages back. Hated it, enjoyed basically zero pages I’d read. And I’ve read and enjoyed plenty of other fantasy, and routinely read long fiction books (mostly “classics”) that’d bore a lot of folks to tears. My favorite book is To the Lighthouse and about a third of it’s about an empty house. I finished every page of Lichteim’s Ancient Egyptian Literature (all three volumes!) and hot damn was a lot of that boring. I like the Telemachus books of The Odyssey.

LOTR, though, was too boring for me, just couldn’t keep going. I couldn’t stomach one more elf song or backstory of a tree. Though I acknowledge that’s probably some very-specific pathology of mine, rather than the book’s fault. I do seem to be wrong, in a sense, in this judgement.

Oddly enough, I later read The Hobbit, and loved that.

I do enjoy the Peter Jackson films (extended, especially for ROTK, which kinda sucks in its theatrical cut)

This absolutely sucks.

Kris and I worked together only briefly on a small hack project, but everything about them was exactly what you'd imagine in a forward-thinking community leader and technologist.

I'm deeply saddened for those who knew Kris well, and hope some solace is found in knowing that their contributions left the world a brighter place.
To the best of my recollection the “abstract machine” is a C++ism that unfortunately crept into C.

This is one thing I’m loving about Remix. It’s how the framework works, so there’s no need to enforce this pattern or educate folks about it.

AND Remix’s nested routing still has you break down the data loading into a couple different parts (1 per route segment).

So it feels like you’re not loading everything in one place, and may be less likely to make people feel like they’re doing something “different” or “wrong”. It’s

That's not what's wrong with it.

There has been almost no definitive progress in fundamental physics in the past 50-100 years.
We're not reversing, we're not even slowing down, we're pulling our foot off the accelerator slightly. Reducing the 2nd derivative is better than nothing but it's blatantly false to claim an "unprecedented scale and speed of decarbonisation".

Yes, all those processes require heat and energy. That's the point. How do you intend to distribute that energy across the global supply chain without a dense liquid fuel? It's never been done (though it is theoretically possible). Once we have renewables that can build other renewables without a drop of oil in the process, that's the beginning of a plan to end fossil fuels. I'm hopeful but all I can say is - prove it and we have something to talk about. Beyond that, it's a hypothetical.
Looking at the ARC problems that the model didn't solve correctly I honestly have no idea in some of done on how the model of wrong or what should have been the solution given the train example.

The fact that it's apparently closed source / proprietary, plus stuff like the obviously bullshit 35k times faster claim make it a tough sell imo.

It's not fear, it's scorn.
Good arguments! I don't disagree with them. But let's not forget security updates and let's not forget that a lot of IT work requires modern kernel features. Deep learning is one of them I think (if I didn't misread a few articles extremely badly that is, which is very likely). The other is modern databases that need e.g. `io_uring`.

I appreciate Debian for what it is, and I use it in VMs and containers. But for my own usage I prefer Arch (mostly Manjaro). Yes, even for servers. If you run a full system update at least once a week you will never stumble upon the possible problems of the rolling distro upgrades, by the way.
Thanks, thats a great blog post. I never thought of using prompt as interactive instructions like that.

Yes the cacheing is super helpful for certain use cases, like composing multiple prompts. I'm working on an app for learning languages via reading, where you see the translated text with grammar and when you hover over a word it shows the matching word from translation to source. This kind of app entails many Ai requests, because youre looping and feeding the result of one prompt into other prompts. Kind of like aws step functions. The cacheing really makes these kind of orchestrated workflows possible from a developer experience perspective.

"A BFF layer consists of multiple backends developed to address the needs of respective frontend frameworks, like desktop, browser, and native-mobile apps."

Ok. Yeah that's only for huge scale things.
The rain started, it's been quite light, and has stopped for the moment. So far, under .2 of an inch with a predicted 4"+, so "it's rain, but not as we know it". If we're in for 4" in 24 hours, there's going to be some catching up to do.

The winds are not due until early to mid afternoon.

One friend, in OC, thinks this is being "overhyped". On the other hand, the weather warnings are using words such as "devastating" and "catastrophic". The problem, of course, is that the area is large, the terrain is varied, and what's "nothing" for one person and "devastating" for another can be as little as being on a neighboring street. OC is farther from the core of it than I am.

Another friend, who has a cabin up in the mountains, that area is under mandatory evacuation. I doubt he was up there, and it's not surprising. Not so much because I think that area per se is under particular danger (it well could be), but simply getting in and out of there is via some rather nasty roads, and the exit is right next to a river bed. Not a place you'd want to be, or try to leave, as I can see it simply being cut off.

I'm on part of the alluvial fan of the foothills, so any water is likely to pass me by. That said, there's a creek and canyon mouth north of me, quite capable of flash flooding. But there's a good amount of just raw riverbed land than any outflow will have to work its way through, and any real water would likely take to the street (the streets are part and parcel to the flood control system as well) long before it could impact me. But there are folks farther up the hill.

We're also at the bottom of Cajon Pass, notorious for its wind. My concern is that it will act as an amplifier of the already fast winds, and we may get a taste of that. Tomorrow is trash day, and some of my neighbors already have their cans out, and I just shake my head. My other neighbor just planted a large, 20 ft palm tree -- on Friday. We are eyeing that warily, just really bad timing, and can only hope the wind doesn't take it. It probably won't but I moved my car out of the way anyway.

So, more waiting. It's like being in that Twister movie, with the storm chasing us in slow motion. We're sheltering in place, made some nice waffles for breakfast. The cats are ignorant and ambivalent, more interested in cleaning something, have their fur brushed off, or bonking a sibling. There's always solace taking moments to watch them instead of the dark sky outside.

Thanks all for the thoughts, I'm sure we'll be fine. Hopefully the "catastrophe" and "devastation" will be limited to the others nearby. Hopefully the limit of my catastrophe will be my neighbor trashcans in my driveway.
I have a friend that's super smart, currently works in biotech, and studied computer science, would you be interested in chatting with him about possible applications? Happy to make an introduction if you like!
Of course not, but knowing that the program should never continue executing in an erroneous state is for me a pretty nice-to-have. Scheme enforces correctness and safety in many places and I think that one in particular is important enough to warrant being opt-out rather than opt-in.

I don't understand the points you are making. Could you clarify:

> copyright, by intending to subsidize the creation

I'm not sure what you mean by subsidize. Do you really mean incentivize?

> of long-form work

What does the length of work have to do with it? Copyright doesn't really have a size limit.

> has also put a huge tax on the consumption of long-form work

What do you mean by tax? That some creators want to be paid for their work?
That is the solution they recommend.
Let's see if I can make a secular approach to this.

Sex and sexuality are oriented toward procreation of children. They are also oriented toward forming bonds of love and trust between the people having sex.

It is no mistake that sex is referred to as "intimacy". It is a time of vulnerability, of togetherness, of sharing between the people having it.

With the above stipulations in mind, sex is something that is typically done in private. I know not of a prevailing culture anywhere in the world that encourages people to have sex in public. Public nudity is restricted to certain places, and even "PDAs" may be socially discouraged to some extent, especially if they approach or simulate intercourse.

Also with the above in mind, sex is traditionally an act shared between a man and a wife hoping to have children.

So it seems like porn flouts all the norms that I've just described. Porn is, by design more or less, transgressive in every way possible. It's clear that the author of the article supports extremely transgressive depictions of porn, as long as they are "ethically produced".

Porn is not a realistic depiction of intercourse for love and procreation; porn is a drama or comedy, usually with a campy exaggeration of everything that men love to see: the body types, characters, situations, props and clothing are all geared to appeal to people who consume porn, not to people who are interested in having children or loving their wives.

I use LLMs for helping with coding it's proving invaluable. I see it very similarly, an inexperienced assistant with very broad knowledge. I also find that they don't make too many mistakes in tasks such as refactoring or finding bugs, it's when you ask it to just wholesale generate code for you that you hit problems. If I were to just take the code as is, not test it and not check I understand it then use it it's me that would be making the mistake not the LLM.
