And some emotional models attempt/desire to attribute skill to what was luck, converting that to status. If you’re wealthy, what else do you have left to chase? You can't buy it, but the money helps (Michael Bloomberg spent $900M attempting to become POTUS and still failed [1], for example).

Uh, Ray Dalio has been known to be a "piece of work" even in the finance industry for well over a decade. He was making headlines for being a self-important pseudo-intellectual-swami back when I was working munis around 2008. It's not just this author - ahem, I'll take a crack at it:

Ray Dalio is a perfect example of a person being analytically and synthetically successful and otherwise covering for severe character defects like Steve Jobs and in the big picture guys look like him are a fucking joke and anybody who takes them seriously as "leaders" should be smacked around a few times with a hardcover biography of Teddy Roosevelt.

Dalio might not be able to juggle but he's still a clown who gets clicks.

There's been a few really good, long-form articles on Ray Dalio and Bridgewater recently. It's reassuring to see there's room for one that's not as good as them to also make it onto the front page of HN. For the sake of completeness, if nothing else, and because maybe they'll interest people in reading those better articles, and the book they are in service of.
nice work! generating good example data is the most important part of finetuning.

imo summarization is also a fairly simple task -- I wouldn't be surprised if a fine-tuned open source model (eg llama 13 / mistral 7) would get to similar performance.
'redefine intelligence'

The particular problem here is both groups are right.

Intelligence is a spectrum of behaviors everywhere from the actions of the lowliest single celled organism up to and exceeding human capabilities. The definition with this wide of range is unfortunately practically useless when it comes to narrowing down a multitude of specific behaviors, specifically around the median of human intelligence. It gets more tricky as nothing in the past really got close to human ability so we were never forced to really define what human intelligence is formally.

We're going to find the same issues here as we do defining the term life.
Yay, and the price would only be ubiquitous surveillance of everyone 24/7. What a steal!

What I've seen is they require fancy materials (carbon fiber, etc) due to the extremely high rotation rates (>100k rpm). For maximum efficiency, the flywheel needs to be in a vacuum to eliminate frictional air resistance losses. They also need magnetic bearings.

None of these are exactly a problem, they just cost money to implement properly.

I would say this copy + pasted list is not great.

No HVAC required - ok but you do need to suck down a huge vacuum, which is a lot more difficult than traditional HVAC

Hot and cold - see above point

All steel - not sure about that, maybe for lower speed applications, which reduces the amount of energy stored

Safe & reliable - hard to say that a huge mass spinning >100k rpm is "safe". By itself there is no fire hazard sure. but what if your magnetic bearings fail and it hops off and starts trying to escape it's (vacuum) enclosure. Then you have tons of sparks and pressure differences and other non-fun things.

ChatGPT (specifically GPT4) is very good at complicated but shallow questions.

For example, "I'm setting up a new TypeScript + Svelte app, I made some changes to the config that I thought were good, but when I try to run the dev server, I get this error." And then paste in your incomprehensible ten line error.

Any time you are using some software tool that you're not very familiar with, and you get an error message that you don't understand, try asking GPT4 to explain it to you.

It isn't so great at deep, theoretical, algorithmic questions. "NP reductions" are probably not a great fit.

Think of it as a research assistant that has a broad understanding of every technology in the world, but isn't as smart as you are about your specific area of expertise.
Yes, it could have security holes and it all needs to be reviewed. At scale, a lot of mistakes could pass code review.

But people make mistakes, too. The code that people write themselves or copy from Stack Overflow will have lots of bugs at scale.

For the individual programmer who knows what they're doing and uses it responsibly, it's unclear that the risks are any higher than writing code on your own.

The reasons appear idealogical rather than practical, which is interesting given the problem at hand.
Paper straws definitely have value as one part of McDonald's overall change (at least at locations near me) to make 100% of their packaging paper. Unless you order ketchup -- and this must be deliberately ordered -- that comes in a little plastic cup, 100% of what is left on your tray after eating is paper, which can then go straight into a segregated paper recycling chain.
StableHLO[1] and IREE[2] are interesting projects that might help AMD here, from [1]:

From there, their goal would most likely be to work with XLA/OpenXLA teams on XLA[3] and IREE[2] to make RoCM a better backend.

There's a question I've had in the back of my mind for a long time now that I think just came out into the open reading your comment. There seems to be a common sentiment that we've under built. What does that mean? Does it mean less houses per family or less square footage per person or some other measure? Because I often see large, mostly-unoccupied houses when I go on vacation somewhere scenic, and it makes me wonder how large of an effect that that sort of thing might have on the market.
You're making a pretty standard mistake often made by people who are pro-WFH.

Many people who prefer working in an office prefer to work with other people who are also in an office. They do not want to interact with people who are working remotely.

Just to be clear, this is a 100% fine preference to have.

In this case, a company saying, "Yeah get a coworking space or whatever and meet with the remote people on Zoom" is telling these employees how to live, exactly the same as telling a WFH employee to come into the office due to RTO.

And again, just to be clear, neither of these are bad things. It just depends on your perspective.
Think about it as if it was a private golfing club, where these guys (corporate executives, real estate developers, bigshot investors, local politicians and officials, chief of police, county and city judges) all hang out in the same bar and play golf together, and shoot the shit with each other, and go to each others' kids' soccer games and so on. I'm sure there's a lot of peer pressure for them all to kind of get along and scratch each other's backs so that everyone can profit at the expense of the rest of us schmucks who are not in the club. A phone call is probably the most formal that it would get!

Mind that CRTs had a viewing distance, much like the subject point in classic painting. E.g., at this distance, dithering tended to blend into a solid tint on common consumer CRTs. (The granularity of a shadow mask is generally smaller than that of a pixel/PEL, so there are actually two kinds of rasterization involved, which helps blending. The effect also depends on the shape of the mask, as in round, oval, square holes, or even a Trinitron-style wire mesh.) Also, the expectation to actually perceive CRT colors when reproduced on a modern panel may be overly optimistic.

I'm generally impressed by these shaders (they are about the best, I've seen), but I also think that colors are too muted and that the mask is overrepresented.

Edit: Regarding CRT intensities, mind that a CRT set up for daylight viewing would give you headaches when viewed in the dark, which is hard to achieve with a modern display panel.
Even with some really optimistic assumptions...just the $16K/year interest will soak up $8/hour of after-tax income from a full-time job. So "sounds really good" hourly wages really aren't - unless you're gonna live in your mom's basement or something.
I can’t help but notice the word “honestly” there.

I am sceptical that people are being more honest now than they were before. I think that people feel more sick than they did before. I also feel there is a huge societal trend of medicalizing how people act and feel and expressing it in terms of it being a mental illness or disorder.

I’ve noticed that mental health outcomes keep getting worse and worse and doctors consistently go “wow that’s great there must be so much more awareness and acceptance of mental health problems!” That’s a very self-serving interpretation and I don’t understand why people don’t question it more.
I've had similar issues.

At a few months old, the laptop (a Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 6) couldn't hold a meeting.

Their customer service suggested I disabled the graphics card and to throttle the CPU, converting a $2000 laptop into a $1000 one spec-wise.

After a year and a half, I've just moved to a Thinkpad at half the cost and I couldn't be happier.

I wanted to support a smaller company rather than Lenovo but that's how it is, there where many other nuances I had to deal with (2 dead pixels, awful sound, microphone was meh, TuxedoOS started giving me kernel problems every update...).

Why do they still sell hardware now that practically every other business has moved to being a service provider?

This was (is) me.

Love Rails, but found it very difficult to learn Ruby. It's very hard for me to read, but that may be because I come from a C# background.

If you're looking for something like Rails, I'd recommend trying out Laravel.

It's on par with Rails as far as features, ease of use, etc. And PHP was a lot easier to learn for me versus Ruby.

I read it as a mysterious CYA move as well, mostly based on the phrasing.

A possibility is that asking for a written version of the task got the manager to start thinking about the fact that they were asking for something that would be hard to articulate exactly, which revealed some hidden complexity in the request. But I guess that would be asked in a fashion more along the lines of “let’s work out the details asynchronously.”
This has been tested before, here is an example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baltimore-maryland-to-become-fi... there is no legal objection to it as far as I understand. The quality isn't super high but it let's you retroactively follow vehicles to see where they have been.

"Tests like gold" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. By any reasonable standard, LLMs do not 'test like gold'. They may sell like gold, but so do a lot of alloys which are mostly copper if you can find a naive enough buyer. Selling debased metals as gold is a con that's literally thousands of years old and has hundreds of variations, so maybe that metaphor is indeed apt.

You're the seller trying to offload a bunch of shiny yellow coins that are mostly lead telling people not to bother checking for density or ductility or conductivity, because what does it 'really' mean to be 'gold' anyway?

You can give them basic logic tasks and watch them fail abysmally. Who cares if they're "conscious" or "emotional" if they're idiots either way?
Cool idea, but it could use some work. For example, Italian-Spanish (Masculine) should yield 'Matteo' or 'Mateo' but seemingly doesn't because of a 't' despite being essentially the same name.
What do you think all the other service providers are running their services on?
murmur3 is not a cryptographic hash, so it's not even in the same field.
I tried to understand his money pump model, but could not. On the other hand I can better understand neoclassical macroeconomic models. Maybe Ray's model is going over my head, but at this point I would trust what is taught in the textbooks rather than what Dalio says whenever the two diverge.
> Why are you just making up numbers?

I’m making a point. But numbers are more often around 20-40% in Europe.

> Deterrence absolutely has an impact on criminal behavior.

You just completely walked over the source I sent from the department of justice that said differently. Sentence length has no or minimal influence on criminal behavior.

> Why do criminals brazenly rob and openly deal drugs in San Francisco, but not in Miami?

You may notice that the same source indicates that the important factor is instead how likely you are to get caught, presumably SF police sucks at that?
I never said that some other stack wouldn't have problems. My point was that Rails is great at some problems and awful at others. No idea how this can be controversial at all. My impression seems to be that there is a group of fanboys that are not able to have any intelligent conversation on what their favorite tool is good for and what it's not good for.

In my day job I use mostly Rails. My team is starting to rewrite some of the services we own in Golang because Rails is no longer a good fit for the problems and scale we use it for. Rails was great to get started fast.

Nothing wrong with using a press instead of a hammer at some point, they are just tools.

What I meant is that I think I know something about academics in science in general, and in Physics in particular.

Getting my PhD was not easy for me, as it wasn't for the most people I met, because none of us is a so-called genius. Rather, all of us had to put a lot of effort and discipline in order to move on.

And never did we met any artificial obstacles or deliberate difficulties. Physics is hard; it is as hard as many other academic fields. You need focus, you need discipline, and yes, you need passion to be able to keep focus and discipline.

But you will be welcome if you try, and you will receive a lot of help. Maybe you will find out it was not the right choice for you and you will change your target, but you will not be screened out and rejected just because.

Nope. We don't really know yet what exactly the brain is "doing".

I agree, but I think there's a possibility of keeping the variadicity only as introspection "compiler magic" and coming up with a higher level implementation of variadics for the general language that drops naturally out of introspection. My hope is that eventually variadicity will just be "only library code" that you can just inspect how it is implemented via introspection.
It's not just companies. I've seen lots of people say why do they get X? rather than how can we get X?

As an example, Pinball and arcade games are often very easy to source. Where I've seen them at my workplace, they were brought in and maintained by employees. Some space needs to be allocated, and maybe needs a bit of electrical work if a high density arcade forms, but otherwise... May be different if there's no collectors in the employee base, or in countries where machines are scarce.
/sarcasm… right?

This “one person disagrees therefore it’s not settled”… this needs to die. We collectively need to raise the bar of human discourse above this tiny hurdle and put an end to anyone who isn’t drunk accepting the argument of one single person against the global consensus…

And before anyone chimes in with arguments about examples of righteous crusades against genuine problems in the world sparked by a single person… the obvious counterpoint is that these people stop being “one single person” when they convince someone else in a one to one conversation… good arguments persuade people and gather people around them… one lone voice arguing against the consensus is a crank who should be ignored without guilt… not platformed under the guise of balancing some illusionary other side of an argument… Looking squarely at you BBC… the ABC in Australia aren’t particularly good at this either but the BBC are the absolute fucking worst at this.
