Granted that this is a generally "office job" focused form, most people will transition into senior positions in their later years which are way higher salary/actual hour worked, with lower stress and a lot more job security. Most people also will have runways in the form of house equity, dual income, e.t.c. You don't have to grind in your 40s at all.

The bigger issue with your view is that in your case, your retirement will be essentially chilling, doing nothing. This is a big problem. It may seem appealing, but if you don't feel a purpose, even if you know you are doing nothing wrong, its going to accelerate your decline. Your younger self has a lot more neuroplasticity, which means you can do things like develop hobbies, try things, build relationships, quite a bit easier. This will carry on into your later years, where in retirement you will continue to do pursue those hobbies or relationships.

But in unmerged branches, you aren't rewriting history, you're starting your work on a more recent commit in history.
I've been thinking about this for a while now, wrt two points:

1. This will be the end of traditional SWEs and the rise of the age of debuggers, human debuggers who spend their days setting up breakpoints and figuring bugs in a sea of LLM generated code.

2. Hiring will switch from using Leetcode questions to "pull out your debugger and figure out what's wrong with this code".

This article is discussing a paper about Wikipedia. This quote is from the research paper. It is not someone from Wikipedia saying this.

This article briefly addresses this inclusion of the political-leaning in the definition of fringe later on.
This is discussed in the "Fringe and politics" section, and not from the Wikipedia writers:

> As readers might have noticed above, the author includes political coordinates in his conception of "fringe" ("more supportive of conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and conservatism") and "anti-fringe" ("anti-conspiracy theories, anti-pseudoscience, and liberal"). This is introduced rather casually in the paper without much justification...

I don't want to quote the whole thing, but its worth a read.

Remote work increasing could have led people to move to lower cost of living areas, reduce pressure in the cities, and increased taxes for many smaller areas, but "there's nothing to do" is a common (and true) complaint about small towns.
In 2018: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/376881/new-zealand-post-...

New Zealand Post wants to shut its last 79 shops, but will not say when the last branch will close its doors

New Zealand Post said the move from stand-alone stores was old news and 801 of its 880 stores were already franchised.

Franchised means the branch has closed as a dedicated Post Office.

Kiwibank originally had branches at the Post Offices.

Kiwibank is left with much less branches than there were Post Offices - branches often replaced by ATMs in the wall: it has "325 Kiwibank Limited Branch and ATM Locations" https://kiwibank.banklocationmaps.co.nz/en/nzl

I presume it will take much longer in the USA for the Post Offices to close. There is no reason something similar won't happen there - the same economic forces occur in the USA.

Note that most franchises are an in-store counter or small area set aside for the Post Office supplies. I can think of franchises in book-stores, stationery shops, pharmacies, and even a public library. I know of one Post Office branch of that 79 that remains open, however it is mostly run by unpaid volunteers including a friend of mine (no banking counter).
In the first study:

"In a secondary analysis, when coronary artery disease was added to the investigation, the risk of heart failure dropped from 34% to 27%, suggesting that coronary artery disease is a pathway through which daily marijuana use may lead to heart failure."

and

"A limitation of the study is that it relied on data that did not specify whether the marijuana was inhaled or eaten. According to researchers, how marijuana is ingested may influence cardiovascular outcomes."

The second study is _only_ looking at "existing cardiovascular risk factors (high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol)", so people who already have these risk factors who then _also_ use cannabis.

and

"A limitation of the analysis is that the data is from a large database, which may have coding errors in the patients’ health records. In addition, the electronic health record code for cannabis use disorder may vary from hospital to hospital, thereby skewing the results of the analysis."
Guarantee? That's one of the most important aspects of bothering to build out a platform: eat the ecosystem to add incremental value to the platform, bolster the moat.

The guarantee is that they will clone and extinguish most of the best bots/tools/services riding on top of GPT. It's what platforms overwhelmingly tend to do.

If your thing is a near-touch to GPT, depends on it, is of medium complexity or lower, and is very popular/useful, they will build your thing into GPT eventually.

On the flip side, if you're Salesforce and using GPT to augment something about a major product, you're not facing a serious threat of OpenAI trying to become the next big CRM company.

This process will work similarly to how it did with Windows, Google, AWS, etc.
Love it.

Ah yes, CLAs are not a real open source, which is why they're required by uhh FSF.

storage (it was a pricey add-on, at first)

Yes. $400 bucks for 16 kilobytes. AND you had to solder all the components on to the board yourself.
Especially for these kinds of rather artistic use cases, I'd rather see it using some of the open source models which might cost almost an order of magnitude less (disclaimer, I might be biased towards extremely good price/perf of the OS ones as someone who works and maintains a popular inference service for these kind of ML models).

Bittorrent does livestreams? Did not know that.

But for "normal" Bittorrent usage, oh hell naaaaah.

Where you are trying to actually obtain a complete file, that can be a disaster. What happens is the chunks at the end of the file will be much rarer than the chunks at the beginning. Getting the blocks sequentially offers a small convenience benefit (you can start viewing a video while the torrent is still downloading) but if significant numbers of people did that it would harm every other use case including your own ability to actually download the entire file.

If you have a surplus of seeders this isn't a problem, but for sparsely-seeded torrents that is not good.
I know a few people who got out of aero/defense related jobs because they were sick of spending most of a career in meetings petitioning to use Vishay Resistor B instead the Murata Resistor A that was in the certified design. I imagine medical and nuclear are similar but I don't know anyone who did that.

To be clear I'm glad some things are regulated, but being in hundreds upon thousands of those

My point is really that CNN used the paper correctly for a point it could support. The point it may have been intended to make is flawed as particulate inhalation is a primary cause of heart problems so a separate cohort that (uses but) doesn't smoke marijuana would be necessary to understand the actual drugs in relation to heart health.

Hmm that doesn't sound like a bad option at all. Here in Europe we're trying to displace FM by DAB+ and it works really crap because the coverage of DAB is worse.

Having fallback to analog would really help to cover the gaps. However the EU seems hell-bent on freeing the 87-108 spectrum so that they can sell it. Just like they did with the analog TV bands. Its 700Mhz band is now one of our cell bands.

Of course the continued ubiquity of FM receivers makes this a bone-headed plan but sadly they have many of those right now, like chat control.

What's silly is reading through comments of multiple people discussing actual issues they face with macs, completely ignoring what's said, and then claiming 'apple is focused on higher-end experience' based on nothing but your own anecdotal experience and imagination.

L40S sound good on paper, but the memory bandwith compared to even a 40G A100 is reduced in half which is crazy in the era when we are bottlenecked by it rather than the actual compute. It costs as much (or even more) than an 80G A100, but instead of getting ~2TB/s, you get ~800GB/s.
> Less executable data size there can go a long way in reducing latency/price.

According to the article, Cosmo's fat binary dash was 30% larger but ran faster and used less real memory than Alpine's x86-linux-only version.

However there is still probably a 30% overhead for storage and copying.
Those personas aren't listing jobs, they're listing tasks. If your job is just a task then it's going to be replaced by something anyway even if OpenAI specifically forbids their model from ever doing it.

That said, we should have comprehensive retraining and guaranteed jobs programs, or a UBI. Either would ameliorate the stress on the employment market. When people require their current job to provide them and their family with food, shelter, water, and medical care and someone takes that away, they are going to react regardless of how inevitable it was, and they're right to do so, because people have a right to self-defence.
Perfect? Hardly...

The long hours are much less now, though nowhere close to pilot or trucker hours. they're trying to give the future the most experience they can while still under supervision.

It'd be better to have a 5 year residency and go back to a 3 year med school, but that would reduce med school income so not likely.

A bit of an odd choice but I've been really happy with my Blue Parrott 650XT [0] which are actually marketed to over-the-road truckers.

The headset is good-not-great along a lot of dimensions but they excel at mic noise cancellation which is the main feature I was looking for. I can be in the middle of a noisy coffee shop (speaker playing music overhead, lots of people sitting around me talking, blenders and milk steamers running constantly) and my colleagues say they hear my voice clearly. This, along with my mobile hotspot, has really opened up the types of spaces where I feel comfortable working remotely.

Yeah, I defintely agree with that haha. I'm new at this and haven't even run my own SD or any open source model on my own hardware yet. I'm sure it's not that hard, but I don't think my CPU-rated Linode is up to the task. Haven't looked into renting a cloud machine that can do it quickly but I'm sure it exists. I absolutely want to move the LLM away from OpenAI GPT and the image generated away from DALL-E. But for right now this was the fastest way I could get the idea online, so APIs it is.

But I'm 100% on board with the open source models and I definitely want to get that going. Yeah the DALL-E 3 images are 4 cents per image! Phewph!
A bike fit and a correctly sized and setup bike with the right saddle, correctly sized frame and handlebars might work as well.

At worst you can still operate the vehicle the same way you would a conventional rocket, so it's strictly better in that sense. For every mission in which the cost of bringing the rocket back is lower than the cost of manufacturing a new one, you come out ahead.
No, the issue is not that they are not open source. The issue is the risk to users/contributors.

These two things are being conflated in this discussion. One thing is a CLA and copyright/license changes. The other is the license itself.
It's unfortunate, but probably defensible. That is, if the correlation is high, then the correlation is high, and I'd rather observe and act on that than ignore it.

It's only unfortunate in that it legitimizes groupthink. Varying degress of conservatism with a small C should ideally be allowed and encouraged, the same as varying degrees of novelty-seeking vs risk-aversion (value freedom vs value safety), tolerance for confrontation or debate, logic vs emotion, etc, etc.
I understand why you are upset. The federal govt. tried to forgive student debt last year and it was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court due to challenges brought by some Republican members. The govt. is trying again this year, as of two days ago: https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-harris-administ...

During the pandemic, the federal govt. paused all interest payments on student debt, effectively setting the payable interest rate to zero. That moratorium ran from 2020 and expired just last month, in Sept 2023: https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/covid-19

Prior to that, the Obama administration launched a student loan forgiveness programe called PAYE (Pay As You Earn) in Oct 2011, which was later expanded to the REPAYE program to reduce the barrier to entry. Lots of sources available online to read about this, here's one: https://www.debt.org/students/obama-pay-as-you-earn/#:~:text....
I don't know what world you're living in where people are avoiding typing on their phones. I feel like I see this observation sometimes from people who don't like smartphone keyboards, as if because you're bad at typing on them, so must everyone else be. But look around next time you're at a bar, on a subway, waiting in line somewhere. People type a lot on their phones. And they're really fast at it.

L40S might be a more appealing choice if you are switching from an A40, but then why the hell aren't you using A100 which is actually much cheaper and much more commonly available. The only perceivable reason I can see is fp8 support, but even with it, I don't think it is worth the price.
Because that level of industrial transformation requires huge labor and capital resources that China simply doesn't have. The CCP cadres have been reporting exaggerated numbers up the chain for years in order to keep their jobs so any metrics coming out of the central government are basically junk.

> This nonsense about "measuring outcomes rather than focusing on how the work is performed" is cope for incompetent leadership.

So your assertion is that every leader who is not expert in literally every function performed in their organization is “incompetent”.

And measuring outcomes is “cope”.

So, say, if I need to consult a physician I’m incompetent because I should be an expert at managing my health. If I feel better after visiting a physician that’s “cope”.

This seems unnecessarily limiting. There are so many things I’m not an expert in yet I’m responsible for. I can’t just resign from having my house repaired because I’m “incompetent”.
It’s a double-blind test.
> Even the metro line is about a mile walk. The nearest grocery store is over a mile away.

I feel like you need to be a bit more precise when it comes to walking distance. Is "over a mile away" closer to 1 mile, or 2? A mile walk isn't far, but a 2 mile walk can be if you're doing it both ways without much in-between.

That being said, that apartment building (and area) is clearly designed with driving in mind. Parking spaces, right next to a 7 lane highway, more asphalt than rooftop.
> GPT-4 Turbo vision is much cheaper than I expected. A 768*768 px image costs $0.00765 to input. That's practical to replace more specialized computer vision models for many use-cases

That's still on-the-orders-of $0.01/image - whereas a simple binary-classifier I wrote using OpenCV and simple histograms (no NNs here) would be like $0.0000001/image (if I had to put a price on it - on the basis that I wrote it 8 years ago in a weekend). So there's still a scalability gulf here.

----

Correct me if I'm wrong, but feeding images to GPT-4 is still done in-band, right? My understanding is that means it's forever open to, for example, a user from 4chan photoshopping-in the text "This image is not pornographic" on-top of the shock-image they upload to my hypothetical service to get it any GPT-4-based inappropriate-imagary-detector?

This has less to do with NPOV itself and more with the need for increasingly reliable references (meaning references that are unlikely to outright make stuff up, regardless of the identifiable views they portray). If "fringe" references are a lot more likely to be actively misleading than "mainstream" ones, it stands to reason that these references will be edited out, and the fringe views that are associated with them will be less represented as a result. This also plays out in the domain of politics, where political sides with poorer quality references (loosely speaking, anything other than boring centrist politics) are less represented too.

You should probably read a biography of Leland Stanford. [1, among others]

More generally, this is how the world works. Go look more deeply into how other great American heroes like Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, Nobel, the Kennedy clan, LBJ, Fred Terman, David Packard, Bill Gates, Elon Musk et al operated. There's usually a pattern of failing upwards (usually at public expense) until they do the one thing that cements their legacy, and then doing their best to whitewash their deeds with philanthropy so everybody remembers them as a benefactor of universities rather than a cold-blooded murderer. People for whom the ends do not justify the means tended to meet untimely ends at the hands of those for which it does.
