> It’s big companies but it’s also (mostly?) the nice retired insurance agents and school teachers

Those retired agents and teachers have exactly zero influence on local and state politicians.

Those big companies who host fund raising dinners at the CEOs mansions and contribute millions? Yes, a lot of influence. To the point where we've seen plenty legislative bills which turn out to be just cut & paste from what some corporate sponsor wrote.
I think it's fair to say that Optane was not merely "not a smashing success" but was completely uneconomical. Intel was essentially using Optane products as loss leaders to promote platform lock-in, and had limited uptake. Micron made only the smallest token attempt to bring 3D XPoint to market before bailing. Clearly neither partner saw a way forward to reduce the costs drastically to make it competitive as a high-volume product.
I used s3 just as an example of a service with very good track record of availability for a very low cost - and perfectly reliable available service can be created with bash scripts, aws-cli and free-tier AWS account.

perfectly fine with using SQS, just it will have worse availability guarantees than S3 - people should understand tradeoffs
How does it see the stars? Even modern CMOS image sensors cannot see the stars during the day.
hallucination is stochastic.

Out of 1000 people flipping coins over and over again, on average people get a mix of hits and misses - there will always be someone who just get 10 heads in a row and someone else with 10 tails in a row, this corresponds to some users being wowed by the superintelligence nailing the answer every time and other users getting made up citation after made up citation.
Many turn of the century homes have large “sleeper porches” as the science of the day thought there were health benefits to sleeping outside. TB was an issue back then.
I do not think that there are ICE versions. But there are many different versions by now, including pump foil (just up-and-down body motion), SUP foil (with paddel), surf foil (wave), wake foil (towed behind boat, but able to let go and just surfing on the boats wave), wing foil (inflatable sail that you hold in your hand, the most popular version) and versions for kite and wind surfers. All are currently significantly cheaper than eFoil (starting around 1k compared to 5k for eFoil) but mostly more challenging, in good sense and bad sense. Some people have said that you learn how to eFoil in 30min. Then the battery is empty. But that is okay as by that time it becomes boring. Which is different to all the other foil sports (exept maybe wake) were most need ~10h to even achive small steps forward. But once you manage, basically every body of water becomes a surf spot.
I agree with this. Although I would probably make it a pseudo file system and allow normal file reading (you want to dump as JSON? Read /etc/conf/app.json. TOML? /etc/conf/app.toml) as well as something like sysfs (/etc/conf/app/thing). The raw data itself can live at /mnt/conf.

The thing I'm not sure about is how you'd implement secure initialization/registration of a new app on first run.
They're not very difficult to replace.

> Governments were mandating that documents be published in OpenDocument format. Microsoft sought to muddy the waters by publishing the confusing "Office Open XML" format (which they then never implemented).

And don't forget, bought off standardization organizations around the world to have it declared a "standard." I wonder if LibreOffice should come out with a LibreDocument format to combat the confusion between ODF and OOXML and to further distance itself from OpenOffice (and as a middle finger to OpenOffice/Apache for squatting on the brand).
These ideas hit home for me and heavily overlap with the ideas in How Big Things Get Done: https://www.amazon.com/How-Big-Things-Get-Done/dp/0593239512
More like "every LLM released to the public has been taught to do this".

Are they taught this casuistry for specific situations, or is there sort of a blanket flagging of hot-button topics to avoid?

I just asked Bard a few questions in a row, like "Should Alexander conquer Persia?" and "Should Croesus attack the Persians?" and "insert modern social justice question" and every time it coughs up all the noncomittal, two-sides-to-this-argument:

Ultimately, whether or not Croesus should attack the Persians is a matter of opinion. There are valid arguments to be made on both sides.

So I feel like there is a wide swath of topics that are simply flagged with "express no opinion" and we get this cop-out.

> Oftentimes, math is taught as a set of rules and processes divined from an authority in which learners must memorize the rules and strictly follow the processes in order to satisfactorily find the one and only correct answer

I was surprised later in life when the majority of people I talked to felt Math was this way (and a good thing). To them, math is a set of rules you learn to follow to the T and use them on other problems.

For me, everything a Math teacher conveyed was more of a recommendation, a suggested tool that I could incorporate into my tool box. The methods they employed to solve problems were a matter of preference to me, rather than rigid rules.

This way of thinking has always had some pros and cons. I never solved a problem the way a 'grader' was expecting. Some teachers loved the creativity and efficiency, other TA's just marked as zero. It made applying what I learned to other things, but on exams I would always be stressed with time because I would spend time on which way I was going to answer the problem.

That being said, I am very good at Math. scored well in HS/college, 165/170 Math GRE score, in a field where Math is important (Data Scientist).
I think the killer feature here is supposed to be voice cloning, which IIUC Google Cloud offers only as a custom enterprise thing that takes weeks (which suggests that it's not fully automated).
> Are you in the camp that says the creator was an insufferable man that did a lot of damage to the credibility and likeability of indie developers for years to come?

I can't agree with this assessment at all - the idea Phil Fish, "insufferable" or otherwise, somehow caused a lot of damage to "the credibility and likeability of indie developers for years to come" seems a bit absurd to me.
Putting knowledge in the context window enables the same thing

For example, letting the LLM return a result to the user and return a list of entities it wants to save details on for later, then letting it query past entries allows long term memory for a class of entities.

Over all it will be a very long time before approaches like that are beat by fine tuning, because as the models improve, this strategy gets stronger: the model gets better are crafting queries, you can provide more context in the context window.

Meanwhile fine tuning in knowledge will get more difficult as MOE and other unforseen developments reset what works as far as directly tinkering with weights.

and why would you ever take raw data out of AWS ?

if it is for migration: it is one time cost that anyone can swallow easily if they decided to leave AWS for something else.

If your data is worth < $94/tb - it is really not worth pulling it out of AWS. Just let it sit there.

or just use cloudfront to download your data ($8.5/Tb)?
Intel would squash an internal project like that, or drown it in politics. You could sit here all day with examples of "why did big company let little company become successful"
IMHO package managers should support having multiple versions of the same package at the same time.

Not because anybody should be doing that, but because sooner or later some conflict will arise that makes it unavoidable, and it's better to have first-class support for it, than to hack around it. For example, apt only allows one version per package, but that doesn't actually mean Debian is so lean and principled. When necessary, Debian stuffs package version in the package name.

Mercedes is always at the spearhead of countless car technologies, but I cannot lie, and I say it as a huge MB fan that owns multiple of their cars, I just don't like the direction they are heading since more than a decade ago.
Seems fitting since the first orbital rockets were just ICBMs with their warheads removed.

The space shuttle was untested in flying over the new year between December and January. It needed a clock reset and they weren't about to test that on orbit.

I would expect algae and cyanobacteria to survive just about anything less than a truly destructive solar-system event (they are photoautotrophs and their nutrient needs are met pretty easily). If algae survives, then tardigrades probably survive too. Wait a billion years and the marine microorganisms will even replenish the oil supplies, too.

Why is Twitch not blocking a method for delivering their embedded video ads onto unrelated websites? Yeah, no idea.
Definitely this. This summer a guy was flying a drone over a popular park area where lots of people were swimming in the river; it was extremely annoying. I'm pretty sure the drone was above the legal weight limit too, and as I have a UAV license, I'm well aware that it's illegal to operate a drone directly above other people. I spotted the guy with the drone controls but decided not to talk to him about it, because I couldn't be certain that someone as inconsiderate as that wouldn't necessarily react violently.
‘All of Sony Systems’ Allegedly Hacked by New Ransomware Group
If I am smart, I can fulfill my goals, excel academically and professionally, be able to deal with life and become rich.

Even I have a bad memory but am not a fast learner or quick thinker which I think are essential and a good indicator of "intelligence" and success. The other huge problem is, even for things I am interested in learning, I am not able to be consistent or am unable to properly learn it.

I am from a place where you need to be smart to have a decent life, there is no security net or other support. It's everyone for themselves. Regardless of that, I have had aspirations from when I was little that I want to fulfill but it seems I lack the intellect and all other qualities to accomplish them. So yes, if I was smarter, I would be much happier.
Stack traces look like garbage though. I've developed a library for KMM. The iOS devs didn't want to touch it, so write once, make android devs keep it up. Also it was the network layer, so that's the easiest shit to write natively.
And besides, F-16s have operated from Ukrainian airbases before the war in joint exercises. It's not as if US aircraft are fragile snowflakes.

I wonder what we do in today's culture and society which we'll look back on and think, wtf were we thinking?

Today most young kids are glued to an iPad. At dinner, in the car, at home, everywhere. Maybe we'll look back at this behavior one day, similar to how we think of smoking or eating too much.
A college friend of mine who was at the Air Force Academy in the 1980s told me she was trained in celestial navigation in case they needed it in a pinch. Both of us were pretty interested in the math.
I do not see how a book citing an other book is commercial competing. Citations in most cases enhances the original book in same way that research papers cite each other, which then is used as a measurement of the value of the original paper. Some citations that criticize the original book could be used in direct competition, but that follows a very distinct fair use exception that critique and reviews enjoys.

Could you provide an example of a book citing an other book which as a result competed with the book it cited that would not fall under critique or review?
The reason I mentioned NetBSD is that it seems to run on all sorts of vintage hardware, though I don't know how well.

Post-NCLB, already-low amounts of recess time in many public elementary schools dropped a bunch and never rebounded. Schools are desperate to show the required improvement YoY in math and reading, so they cut time for things like music and recess to get more time for those subjects.

I think my kids get half or less as much recess time as I did in the same grades. Sucks.

How long until the UK could stomach a vote to try to go back? The tories won't consider that, but if labor comes back into power, would they want to immediately try to reverse that vote, what a mindfield.
Nice! I have plans to add filtering to better manage larger feeds when you’re looking for specific things, so maybe that will help further.
I think that's gonna be a hell of a long list.
I agree with this. If there is close to zero cost for creativity and works of art then there does not need to be an incentive through copyright which gives a was designed to give a timed monopoly on works. I for one am looking forward to those times when we are no longer shackled by intelectual "property" law.
Everything you said is correct, but too much salt also causes trouble, and processed foods have way more salt than most people use when cooking in the kitchen.
Lol yeah the hallucinations are a huge problem. Likely solvable, I think there are probably some bugs in various whisper implementations that are making the problem worse than it should be. I haven't really dug in on that yet though. I was hoping I could switch to a different STT model more designed for real time like Meta's SeamlessM4T but it's still under a non-commercial license and I did have an idea that I might want to try making a product sometime. I did see that yacine made that version but I haven't tried it so I don't know how it compares to mine.
celestial navigation is 4000 years old
JDBC drivers are implemented on top of JDK APIs and so will work the same way: their I/O would automatically be non-blocking when run on a virtual thread (module some quality-of-implementation issues around the use of synchronized that we're working on, which are mentioned in the material I linked to).

JDBC drivers that are implemented on top of their own native code are a different matter, but they are not common these days.
FTA: Speaking to a group at Harvard Business School six months after leaving Harvester, McCardell was asked his assessment of his performance; he said that despite some regrets, "I think I rate myself superb."[6] In 1986, McCardell told UPI, "I feel very good about my years at Harvester. We had a few good years. I don’t think we made any one major mistake. In retrospect, I think we could have done some things differently. None of us was smart enough – myself included – to realize the depth of the problem."[34] Discussing his remuneration, he said he thought, in retrospect, that he was "underpaid".

Utterly unbelievable.
I don't mean to sound condescending, but how old are you? I'm only in my late 20s, and even I don't consider myself the main target demographic for the app, but it has proven itself fairly useful for certain scenarios (e.g. something happened around X, was curious about quick videos from the area). There are people who read what you would consider "quality books", and share/talk about them on the app as well. Even a very small subset of users/likes transfer into an actual product purchase is a mind-boggling achievement for the writer, so we might be underselling its value.
Yes it’s a spectrum. Devil is in the details. Still though.

If funds can be stolen by accessing a database hosted by a cloud provider, then what’s the point of decentralizing any part of the project at all?
Cubical Agda is an example of a "programming language" which uses HoTT features: https://agda.readthedocs.io/en/v2.6.0/language/cubical.html

It's actually a proof assistant, but you can still write code in it - and perhaps even export it to code in other languages.

Regarding the "smart" features you suggested, those sound interesting, but I'm not aware of any language having them. Could be useful.
Yeah they're not actually parsing your operators anymore. They're feeding the whole query to some machine learning model they trained and pulling "what you really meant" out of that.

Wouldn't it be better to get a (helium) ballon and attach i.e a go-pro that with a rope tied to you. I mean, you need a bit of volume that will have a bit of drag, but it will always follow you, be quiet and mostly cheaper.
I think anxiety about doing things is very often at the core of self-optimization
I’m going tho have to disagree on these points.

> 1. the car on the left is 3x safer than the car on the right.

It might be marginally safer for the driver, but due to reduced visibility, it is less safe for pedestrians and cyclists.

Some carmakers take this to an extreme: https://i.redd.it/5b2ewauetf191.jpg

Here’s another example: https://i.redd.it/7vgq17y69m691.jpg. The fact that the front car is street legal is, frankly, a policy failure.

(The Mini is less egregious, of course, but having two of them highlights the differences more than having two different cars.)

> 2. the car on the left actually does have comparable fuel efficiency (feel free to google for fuel efficiencies of the original minis)

> 3. the car on the left is better for the environment due to more stringent (e.g.) EPA standards for production vehicles (well at least until trump rolled them back...)

Don’t you think that if we made modern cars the size of the right one, their fuel efficiency and environmental impact would be even less? Is it not a colossal shame that in 50 years, we have not improved on these parameters?
I am comfortable asserting that an LLM like GPT-4 is only capable of thinking in language; there is no distinction for an LLM between what it can conceive of and what it can express.

Commander Keen was quality stuff. It was good enough to get Nintendo DS followup games.
Only skimmed it, but that was some sad reading.
Yes interruptions are key, both ways. Having the user interrupt the bot is easy, but to have the bot interrupt the human will again require a model to predict when that should happen. But I do believe it is desirable for natural conversation.
For those who are seeking out and reading reputable science, rather than searching for support for a predefined belief, what has been until now been innocuously referred to as “global warming” or even more innocently as “climate change” is in fact a dangerous revolution in earth climate systems that threatens civilization.

Beyond geoengineering stopgaps, like a solar shield, I do not see any credible solutions. Unfortunately, the natural/artificial dichotomy bias and the belief that humans can do nothing at all correctly will prevent action and doom modern civilization. Installing a shield at L1 is our best hope, but would cost hundreds of billions or trillions.

Sadly, this is another issue that has been deeply, cynically, and intentionally politicized, when it is in fact an observable scientifically validated human-created ongoing cataclysm.

Doing something is a survivial necessity for all of humanity, but sadly it will be too late before it is clear to everyone.
That's quite surprising. Why would they do this?
Thanks for entering the conversation when you did. I hope you'll entertain it for a little longer, but if not, no worries.

I'm just thinking, what if those conditions don't prohibit a truck from operating outside of a locale, but rather, they prohibit a truck from operating on anything but certain prescribed routes, on interstates, connecting ports and rail terminals and distribution centers, in the right lane only, in daylight, and in good weather conditions only? Is that level 5? It doesn't sound like level 5 to me. It sounds like level 4. And yet, it also sounds like it would still be very useful to someone running a fleet of trucks.

So again, I'm not persuaded level 5 is necessary for autonomous trucks. Some kinds of trucking would be excluded until we get to level 5, but that still leaves some useful trucking that could be handled by level 4.

This book is on my reading list. I listened to an interview of the author who said that their primary motivation of the book was less about teaching math, but teaching the value of looking at the world abstractly to determine patterns and constructs to explain our shared experience.

Is math real or not? It doesn't matter she posits, it works and continues to work and we can learn from its existence that almost everything can be explained and is "predictable" given enough inputs.
They also get so fucking hot in the summer that, If there’s no breeze to drive air up-and-out through the attic and give you good cross-breezes through various important airways in the house, it’s cooler to sleep outside.

There are lots of them like the Explorer LR that are under the 250g limit, and get 30-40 minute runtime.

That said in the hobbyist community power is more interesting than range. I have a DJI mini 2 and the technology is impressive but honestly, it puts me to sleep compared to my 100MPH mini quad.
