Totally agree. There is a temperature graph on the same page, and - shock, horror - it doesn't start at 0 Kelvin nor 0 Celsius but it frames the data.

For financials or percentages, shifting the baseline from 0 can be misleading. For ppm I think it is a good thing.

The Insanity of Modern Automotive Electronics and a Mechanical Revolution [video]
I feel like there's a lot of evidence, for example, the existence of natural general intelligence and the rapidly expanding capacities of modern ANNs. What makes you believe it's not possible? Or what kind of evidence would convince you that it's possible?
Really? On Costco, Target, Best Buy, etc., the overwhelming majority I can see (or filter by) are 4k. The 1080s are actually much rarer than I expected.

That "pattern" actually indicates that something is true most of the time (after all, a lot of dangerous things really exist). So "noticing" this pattern seems to rely on being all-knowing?
Are you saying Qualcomm doesn't have interest in selling cpus to customers without paying a third party a licensing fee? That doesn't make any sense. Companies are always interested in lowering their overheads.
Yours is an under-rated comment. When my belief is sound, I go and advocate for it articulately and logically, engaging with people where they are to bring them along. When my belief is weak, I malign them for not a-priori reaching the same conclusion w/o my effort.
It seems like bit of a 'vase or face' situation - are they being responsible corporate citizens asking for regulation to keep their (potentially harmful) industry in check or are they building insurmountable regulatory moats to cement their leading positions?

Is there any additional reading about how regulation could affect open-source AI?

> I think maybe you're using "system" to mean a different thing than I am?

No, I'm not. Are you overlooking some of the impacts of your tests and most of the impact of static verification?

Those do absolutely impact your system, not only your environment. For tests it's good to keep those impacts at a minimum (for static verification you want to maximize them), but they still have some.
Evaluative (v) Generative AI.... let's distinguish the two.

For example, DALL-E v3 appears to generate images and then evaluate the generated images before rendering to the user. This approach is essentially adversarial, whereby the evaluative engine can work at cross-purposes to the generative engine.

Its this layered, adversarial approach, that makes the most sense; and there is a very strong argument for a robust, open sourced evaluative AI anyone can deploy to protect themselves and their systems. It is a model not dissimilar from retail anti-virus and malware solutions.

In sum, I would like to see generative AI well funded, limited distribution and regulated; and evaluative AI free and open. Hopefully, policy makers see this the same way.
A rather dramatic answer to the question of why life on earth started 'recently'. I wonder how long it took that chaos to settle back down.
Didn't even take retrospect to see it with covid from the very beginning. White collar workers did their jobs from home and had groceries and meals delivered. More precarious service workers cooked their meals and delivered their groceries, and died of covid in much higher numbers because of it.
Resource Burn. Meta can throw more money at any court case, so if the judge is bent, which happens, it can become a long drawn out process. Personally though, despite having the trademark for a trademark with the word "threads", note lowercase, its also got a logo filed which might complicate the situation.

Here we have all these free-market-libertarian tech execs asking for more regulation! They say they believe regulation is "always" terrible -- unless it's good for their profits. In that case, they think it's actually important and necessary. They remind me of Mr. Burroughs in the movie "Class:"

Mr. Burroughs: "Government control, Jonathan, is anathema to the free-enterprise system. Any intelligent person knows you cannot interfere with the laws of supply and demand."

Jonathan: "I see your point, sir. That's the reason why I'm not for tariffs."

Mr. Burroughs: "Right. No, wrong! You gotta have tariffs, son. How you gonna compete with the damn foreigners? Gotta have tariffs."

Blog software solved the problem of inconsistent navigational UX, but created another, bigger one by making everything database-powered, server-side and theme-specfic.

The old way of HTML was 100% portable. Copy your folders, drop em into a new host and voila, your site is up and running. WP is far too heavy for most personal websites. Plus, the second you want to tweak something as simple as a background, the simplicity of HTML and inline styles is gone and you now have to deal directly with the theme template pages, script enqueing and what not.
The Presidential Innovation Fellow is the highest level role they're offering as part of this. For this, the requirements are "mid-senior/executive career professional experience in a subject matter expertise" with "experience collaborating with and leading cross-functional teams".

The requirements feel analogous to a staff/principal level role in the software industry, so just for comparison here's the compensation for these roles across the giants:

Microsoft (level 66): $390,707

Amazon (L7): $547,490

Facebook (E6): $610,713

Apple (ICT5): $497,780

Google (L6): $506,141

US Gov: $155,700 to start, with a max of $183,500 after 18 years (step increases are limited on a time basis)

The US government is trying to leverage AI by paying 30.4% the wage of the leaders in private industry. I just don't see how they're going to be effective in doing this.
The EU should look long and hard at that: the market-dominating video platform, owned by the market-dominating search and advertising company, forcing bundled pricing for YouTube in order to leverage the YT monopoly for an edge in the music streaming market.

Sounds anticompetitive as hell, and a government that actually cares about functioning markets should eviscerate them for it.
The biggest negative of Microservices is that it creates hard ownership boundaries.

This affects planning - more effort is needed to understand boundaries that need adjustment or crossing.

This affects execution - needing to cross a boundary comes with inefficiencies and an automatic need to move with synchronization.

This affects future projects - service boundary clarity works against flexibility.

I think you're misunderstanding the article. It's analyzing the claims Reed made, specifically the ones she made in her affidavit, and whether they had been corroborated by the NYT or elsewhere. It's not analyzing the claims made in the NYT article by Ms. Hamon or by Reed. Reed doesn't mention any kind of unexplained increase in this particular claim, so the response is adequate.

Besides, the claims listed in the article are just the ones where some amount of truth has been found. If you scroll to the bottom, it has a link to the spreadsheet where you can see the author's tally of Reed's claims, including the claims where the author found no corroboration and ones where the author considers the claim to have been refuted by the available evidence (evidence which includes the third link in my previous comment, which I do recommend you read).
Isn't the effect that increased CO2 levels logarithmic rather than linear or exponential? As in the more CO2 that gets dumped into our system the more slowly temperatures will rise.

Yes, a frightening thought, but it sounds like a movie script:

It's a trope, not reality. And GAI is still speculation.

Monolith->microservice is not a trivial change no matter how well-factored it is to begin with -- though being poorly architected could certainly make the transition more difficult!

> Probably just the interface - function calls become RPC.

This sounds simple, but once "function calls become RPC" then your client app also needs to handle:

* DNS server unreachable

* DNS server reachable but RPC hostname won't resolve

* RPC host resolves but not reachable

* RPC host reachable but refuses connection

* RPC host accepts connection but rejects client authentication

* RPC host presents untrusted TLS cert

* RPC accepts authentication but this client has exceeded the rate limit

* RPC accepts authentication but says 301 moved permanently

* RPC host accepts request but it will be x seconds before result is ready

* RPC host times out

Even for a well-factored app, handling these execution paths robustly probably means rearchitecting to allow you to asynchronously queue and rate limit requests, cache results, handle failure with logarithmic back-off retry, and operate with configurable client credentials, trust store, and resource URLs (so you can honor 301 Moved Permanently) and log all the failures.

You'll also need additional RPC functions and parameters to provide data that had previously been in context for local function calls.

Then the monolith's UI may now need to communicate network delays and failures to the user that were impossible before network segmentation could split the app itself.

Refactoring into microservices will require significant effort even for the most well built monolith.
They are not the same thing! Microservices is a discount version of SOA with a new coat of paint.

I guess that's one way to do it. I guess I optimistically believe we can do better than "Move to a dictator you like," either for town government or for employment.
In reality being a single big customer for one vendor is far more influential than being a small one with other options.

In what world? the one where firms don't compete?

If other firms are explicitly on the table for the currently negotiated and next generation RPi, Broadcom will have more incentive to meet the RPi Foundation's specific needs. If Broadcom knows that RPi is not talking to other vendors, then their negotiating position is stronger.

Do you have the power to negotiate for remote work, or to work somewhere without an open office floor plan? There are always areas to be improved upon, practices that management dictates by fiat and everyone accepts as "just the way things are" even if they don't like it.
It's closely related and perhaps entirely falls under the umbrella of Persistent Drive for Autonomy.

The thing I like about PDA is that it has this framing duality. Depending on whether it's framed by a neurotypical perspective or a neurodivergent perspective the behaviors are either pathological or virtuous.

For example, not perceiving social hierarchy, vs dismantling unjustified hierarchies.

I stand to be better versed in the topic, but I hope this gives a taste of how framing can pathologize or praise the same behavior.
Most (if not all) CO2 monitors need to be calibrated. The ones that I have looked into recommend putting it outside and calibrating it to 420ppm. I am not sure how much local variance in outdoor CO2 concentrations one can expect, but my guess is maybe 1-2ppm, definitely not 30ppm. But that is just a wild guess.

This is a very good point, and you could probably write quite a few articles about this particular subject.

Lol now try that without simultaneous infusion of trillions of capital and see what the markets say. In fact I think they already said it...
Great feedback, and you raise a good point about plateauing.

To start on the anomalous experience aspect, I know a lot of people on the same path, largely it comes from in-demand tech skills with a talent gap - think SRE, security engineering vs slamming very crowded JS-based SWE roles, paired with the pre-IPO venture pay. If it’s series C+, you’ll get 18mo of stability, and then jump for comp. Most people I know not hitting this TC won’t go to these types of companies. Another key part is thinking on 3-5 yrs vs job to job. You can get into killer companies by layering where you go first and what you work on, vs shooting for that company in the first job app. If you’re not a tech talent who can hit the hard interviews immediately, this is a great path.

Re: planning/risk management on that, as specifically the pre-IPO pay part might change with the economy, my paths are:

- arbitrage LCOL and remote tech for as long as I can, but then hit the tech cities for roles where the seniority/comp makes it worth living there as you can still get ahead (as in, out of the “golden treadmill” range of great comp but it’s NYC and childcare is $3k/mo hypotheticals), plus my career positioning tees me up to take a shot at those roles.

- tech executive paths. If you have a modicum of social skills, people networking, and an eye for how the business makes revenue, this is in play and also pay continues to climb to astronomical levels.

- lifestyle management: there is no recurring fixed expensive in my life that a $70k/yr tech job won’t cover, and having this managed makes the above planning remotely possible.

Put all this together - life changing comp is in tech and 10 yrs playing it buys you a future to do just about anything you want after.

Only reason I bring all this up in detail vs letting blind leak into hacker news is I can’t see how a union helps that path and more so doesn’t actively hurt it. As I said somewhere else, believe me I’m not a generational tech talent. I had a non-tech career before this, had to retrain, all that. But perhaps that background helped me see how wild the opportunity in tech is? By the time you hit those 0.2% raises… you could be not working while the rest of the world descends into AI-enabled unemployment etc etc
We need a graph for oil, coal, and natural gas consumption. The goal is to get those number to 0%. We must use nuclear, electrify, and end private ownership of cars and trucks. I am absolutely ready to make the changes required to meet these goal. I'm halfway there already.
How is tsunami frequency established to be influenced by anthropomorphic climate change? Also, over a hundred years ago wildfires and floods were more frequent than they are now and the historical deaths per capita from natural disasters was much higher.

What we are seeing recently in Maui, California, PNW, and elsewhere are primarily the consequences of an artificial blip of decades of over-protection of adjacent forests and waterways because of misguided environmental activism. When you refuse to allow forest culling or occasional fires and hinder development of dams and levees, later fires and natural movement of rivers becomes uncontrollable. While more land was developed and the population exploded, the resource management expansion was missing. Climate change may have an effect on these recent incidents, but thinking of it as the main cause is misleading.
yes, just like "our nuclear bombs are so powerful, they could wipe out civilisation", which led to strict regulation around them and lack of open-source nuclear bombs

> "It's old" isn't an excuse if there's no real benefit to be had from upgrading.

you are literally seeing the benefit from upgrading right now, mesh shaders increase performance and reduce VRAM utilization substantially.

the game has a non-mesh-shader fallback, but obviously in that case you don't get the performance or VRAM benefit. And then people get upset that it doesn't perform well... but somehow don't make the obvious connection there.

people basically decide a priori that it doesn't have any performance benefits and then discard any evidence to the contrary, it can't be a performance benefit, the legacy pathway is just unoptimized!

they used up all the ~~glue~~ optimization, on purpose!
Wood is also very strong against wind if engineered correct. Both need something else to air seal as air will go through. Yes it is fire resistant, but unless your insulation and other building material is also fire resistant you gain nothing important: either way a fire will gut the house and need expensive work to repair. Wood is also a good insulator when paired with insulation.

Concrete is a useful material to build with. However it isn't the miracle that many advocates claim.
