Or perhaps not. You may note that yesterday Head of Engineering and Product for Bing said [0]:

"Many people ask me whether LLMs will make web search engines less valuable, but the opposite is actually the case. LLMs make web search more critical than ever, since the combination of LLMs + web search is what produces fresher and more accurate chat results."

This is true, but what he didn't mention is where the the biggest source of pre-training data is from. This was revealed earlier this week by his colleague Mikhail Parakhin, CEO of Microsoft Ad and Web Services, in the Google antitrust trial. Apparently he revealed "Bing Chat and Google Bard leverage indexes." [1].

A point on which I speculated on back in February [2].

Might be worth pointing out that this isnt surprising given the activity of speculators in the market. Without markets would get cornered for investment and industry would cease.

edit1: There is however also an incentive to keep individuals from investing into precious metals due to monetary considerations. Derivate induced volatility is one way to do that.

edit2: Also worth considering is that the large central bank holdings can and will be loaned out to maintain price stability if push comes to shove and gold were to rise drastically.
It seems that you have come to agree with me, but haven't realised it yet! You're saying that we must look at more than just the skewed sample, and that's exactly my point.
Sure. If you want to buy a pad Thai in Thailand, US dollars are probably going to be more widely accepted. On the other hand, if you have savings in an inflating currency, you might want to convert them to a medium that holds value well in the long term, rather than US dollars. That does include S&P500 stocks but those are not bearer instruments and not easily accessible, especially in foreign countries.
> "Okay. What can a company do when there is no choice?" The number of enterprise-grade applications that are cloud-only offerings is only increasing.

I'd be curious to know what kind of problems could be only solved through a cloud-only solution. It's a honest question; I'm not old enough to remember actually using mainframes but in my days companies had their own IT staff, gear and storage.
I understand that hiring a IT team of 3 could not be viable for a small 10 people startup, but I'm sure there are solutions in between before being forced to entirely surrender everything to someone else's data center.
This concept is so important, but people are so unwilling to embrace it because regime economists dismiss it as nonsense.
GSMArena bought two iPhone 15 Pro Max from different retailers to test the overheating issue and they were unable to replicate it.

> Lastly, we did read reports of overheating iPhones, some during fast charging. For this review, we used two iPhone 15 Pro Max units, obtained from different retailers, and neither of those became unbearably hot even after an hour of GPU stress testing. Warm, rather unpleasantly (but not concerningly) - sure, but hot - never. We know people have experienced and documented such issues, but we haven't been able to replicate those so far on our units.

They think it's a bug in iOS 17 that causes some phones to overheat.

> And since we ran the same tests on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which last year we crowned as a phone with excellent stability, we were surprised to see that now, under iOS 17, its stability has gotten worse. That's why we think there is some software issue at play in addition to/or just contributing to the poor heat dissipation.

More interesting that debt to equity ratio, is what is done with the capital that is raised by either mechanism. Is it possible for investment into operations, marketing or strategic expansion or reduction to improve shareholder returns? Does CEO compensation that is well into the hundred million dollar range for performance that isn’t remarkable typically boost shareholder returns? These are questions that I think are more interesting to people running and governing companies. Even to CFOs which all know in their sleep the first year MBA financial engineering tricks of CAPM, WACC, and leverage to determine optimal capital structure.
The attitude conveyed in your last sentence should be a large red flog to a competent and attentive Board or share holder. First, it is of no concern to the management how much I am or am not diversified- management’s job is to optimally run a company, not my portfolio. Second, leveraging up a compsny in low interest rate times is likely largely increases systemic risk to the share holders which, according to Markowitz’s modern portfolio theory, is not reduced by diversification versus idiosyncratic risk, which is.
Costco's not a monopoly by the current definition, but they do occupy a very cozy spot between wholesale and retail, and they do vertically control everything Kirkland from mayonnaise to roast chicken. We have a strange situation right now, in the US, in which any company with at least one major competitor is considered good for the free market; and it takes a hell of a lot of work to show that those two competitors are working together. But they don't actually need to be price-fixing with each other in a classical way. One has $5 roast chickens and the other has free oil changes. This, then, is the apotheosis of consumer choice? Fuckit, I own stocks of both of them and I just hope the American consumer goes broke before I do.

So then it's not because "Bing sucks" but because of the money Google is paying.
The best way to keep a secret is to never write it down, period. Or tell anyone.

If you do have to write it down (for practical reasons), it’s best to assume it will be leaked eventually and write it down with that in mind.

Even better, is in your operational assumptions, assume it will then be leaked shortly afterwards and build in ways to work around that.

So for instance - key material should have easy ways to be revoked, rotated, etc.

Operational rules should be easy to update/push new versions, etc.

Authentication shouldn’t rely on parroting a well known value (SSN, a plaintext shared secret, a biometric, etc.), and should be easily changeable/rotatable.

Most of these we’ve been steadily baking into our day to day lives anyway.

What you’re talking about is necessary, but insufficient for anyone who has a secret they actually need to keep. At least in the modern world. None of those penalties are ever likely to actually occur either, because no one wants to pay them. And they know they will end up paying them at some point, because anything else is just not how the world works.

For classified top secret information all those rules apply in some form, yet we’ve had numerous high profile leaks of TS information for years. The intelligence apparatus has done everything they can to destroy said leakers, but with limited success - and those secrets are still out there.

And that is without financial incentive!

That’s all. Most folks won’t have those kinds of secrets thankfully! And when they do, they usually just don’t tell anyone.
There's a world of difference between a protest that sets out to blockade and gets shutdown for blockading because that goes beyond the granted freedom to protest, and a protest that assembles, protests, and incidently, coincidently has additional actors rioting and looting.

There's no issue there with the protest, go nuts arresting the rioters, arsonists and looters.

You're all over the shop and struggling to make a point here ..

What exactly, BTW, is my belief?

Scroll to the top and my first comment - I simply correctly stated that the Canadian Trucker protest didn't have a Freedom of Speech clash with the Canadian Gov., they had problems as they overstepped their right to assemble.

That is my belief and I stand by that.

No doubt. My expectations to MS engineering are really low so I'm unfortunately not shocked.

Pro tip: bring a pack of cigs even if you’ve never ever smoked in your life. If the train stops in the middle of nowhere because a corn train decided to leave the imposed restrictions of the rails, you will be let off the train, but only if you’re a tobacco addict. You can also sometimes order delivery to a stuck train.

The issue was specific to services that used Microsoft's .NET libraries for Azure AD authentication without doing additional checks for auth token validity [1], which was not "all of Microsoft". There's no public list of what components are used where AFAIK, we just know that MS says forged auth tokens were successfully used on Exchange Online email. It is sensationalizing to say the entire Azure cloud was hacked.

This is not to downplay how bad Microsoft's security lapses were, and how bad their announcements were. The most horrifying part to me, besides the need for "premium" logs to detect a breach which I'd been complaining about before this, was how PR seemed to blame the Exchange Online team for misusing the authentication libraries, but later they updated the libraries and said the token validation issue was "corrected using the updated libraries". That feels like internal blame shifting out in public.

The governor of California can turn around an interim appointment pretty quickly if he so chooses; there's some static around a prior promise to appoint a Black woman, which most people viewed as effectively a promise to Representative Barbara Lee. She has since declared candidacy for that Senate seat--as Feinstein was not going to run for re-election--and Newsom (understandably, IMO) doesn't want to hand the keys to a running candidate, out of fairness to the also-quite-reasonable alternate candidates.

That said, I wouldn't expect it to prevent a pretty quick replacement if Senate business demands it, so it likely won't be a significant impact from a political or operational perspective.
I came across this survey paper on Combinatorial Optimization in VLSI Design: https://www.or.uni-bonn.de/research/montreal.pdf

I don't know how up-to-date the information is. Two of the authors (Korte, Vygen) wrote a textbook on combinatorial optimization. I haven't read it and I don't know enough about the subject to be able to say how useful the contents are to VLSI design. I think they focus more on the theory than the application: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-56039-6

I’ve used Numpy with Numba primarily (on the CPU) and it had been a game changer for my data science workloads.

Naturally, I pay close attention to Jax and give it a look every now and then. So, I’ll focus my observations below on Jax’s Numpy API support.

At a glance, Jax code looks like regular Python, but it’s a very different style of programming. Two big differences I’ve found are:

- All Jax functions must be pure. You can’t pass references.
- ndarrays cannot be created with dynamic shapes. You have to hardcode the shape tuples. One possible workaround can be to create a buffer much bigger than you need and return that along with actual shape.

Then there are many small things that are very well documented[1] by the Jax team.

Overall, if you are training ML models, the trouble might be worth it (Autograd). But for accelerating Numpy alone, it is no Numba replacement - which will happily work in the above mentioned use-cases.

Personal information covers many many data points, some intrinsic (your birthday or the enormous data set known as your dna) but many age out (income, spending patterns, content interests, residence location and travel patterns, things you own, assets, blood markers) and as abstract data sets can be thought of as seeing continual additions. Even intrinsic data sets can be thought of as aging out- new dna processing techniques producing more refined data points. The legal regime and the incentives/consequences around storage/use/misuse of both types of data is also not static, with US, China, and EU representing 3 distinct loci. There is an argument that the EU loci- which is good for ordinary humans- is in fact winning, since the regime most impacts global businesses and in picking a standard practice global businesses need to align with the most stringent regime in which they wish to do business.

So the situation in reality is dynamic and as an individual adopting practices that align with the rights to control your data that you should have is...more valuable than just virtue signaling.

One major area, for example, is around use of Plaid. Plaid builds credit-like financial models based on deposit data, which is wholly new in the financial world and egregiously privacy violating, in addition to being unregulated. Despite the convenience, think about not using it?

Personally ... I think the best option (if you have to have cookies (and there are plenty of reasons you may want/need them)) is to have screen-wide, contrasting-color, short-top-to-bottom bar with a single OK or Accept button for dismissal

Do not give people options about cookies - either they accept (and dismiss the notice), or they leave

When I am presented with cookie options, I start to wonder why there are "unnecessary" cookies present: why are you letting me accept "necessary" cookies or "all" cookies? Why would you have ones that are not needed? Seems hyper sketch ... and I'll go elsewhere (or reject all)

She was mentally unfit to serve for the last couple years. It was a travesty many countries seem to have no mental bar required to serve or even reasonable age limits (Feinstein was 90!)

With our aging population, we need to figure out how to be inclusive of those who can contribute, while identifying those who can not. Hard age limits are likely becoming less desirable as the population ages - retirement at 55 will seem like a joke. But that doesn't mean we should just accept people who are not with it in various positions of power.

This is because Google Maps doesn't use LLMs, but standard and deterministic indexing methods working on hard data provided by governments.

The whole point that I failed to fully express on my sentence, was how many of those projects are still relevant in 10 years from now, without the funding of commercial entities.

1+1=10 (base 2 arithmetic)

1+1=11 (base 1 arithmetic)

1+1=0 (mod 2 arithmetic)

Those are just what I think of in 3 minutes. I know there are others that I can't remember at the moment, and I'm sure there are even more that I've never encountered in my math studies.

I disagree with the "require" specialized deployments – we have hosted our elixir apps for years as stateless web apps, just like any other architecture.

In fact, you can build a release that's just a zip file which also contains the full elixir/erlang runtimes, that can be deployed on a barebones server (assuming the same libc, etc). It's not "single-executable" nice like Go/Rust/.NET but it's much simpler than it used to be.

The one use case we've seen for clustering things is having our cache stay in sync. But apart from that, we really haven't seen a need to cluster our nodes.

But if we wanted to, it's beautifully and trivially easy to do things in a cluster in Elixir/Erlang.

Immutable state is definitely one of the steeper learning curves to get over.

The best thing one can do is not use cookies -> no need for a consent banner.

If that's not an option, the next best thing is to have an overlay that is as honest as possible and most importantly provides not only an "Accept all", but also a "Reject all" button.

Don't use dark patterns, basically. That is, use the same color, style and size for each of those buttons.

My experience is that most users are so used to these overlays by now, they just look for the button which gets rid of them most quickly. Marketing will typically push to tinker with the appearance of the buttons to increase the conversion rate in favor of the "Accept all" option.
