Because it costs too much. They're already losing money on every speaker sold (Google/Amazon anyway), plus the infrastructure required to maintain service. Adding an LLM is a huge expense for an already failing form factor.
Not sure why people thinks it’s a fork. RCS is only a standard, there is no open source implementation. Even to use it commercially you need to license it from GSMA. So every implementation of RCS is proprietary for the server side. On client side, Google has published the code in Android 12 sources. But most clients are all proprietary too.
Ultimately it's a US company so Chapter 11 is available, which does allow for short term relief and ultimately for debts to be restructured etc.
I'm thinking it's maybe it's "too obvious" for you that makes you misunderstand the point.

It's just:

- Look at these big-O, see that pop front isn't O(1)

- Here's a proposed pop front that is O(1) (move the pointer forward)

- Reason about why they didn't choose that.

It's already an aha moment for people to realize that the capacity left at front is generally harder to use than keeping unused capacity at the end. In the spirit of the leading question that aspect is something the reader can reasonably realize after thinking about it, not something that is intended to already be obvious before you start thinking.
Vague inertia from journalists and celebrities who don’t want to rebuild follower counts on a new platform? That’s all I’ve got.
All games ended up needing a GPU and a soundcard - in fact they became so necessary that all CPUs and motherboards today come with a GPU and a soundcard respectively. While VR headsets were a gimmick of the moment.

(Yes I know some CPUs come with no GPU but that's because you will buy a discrete GPU which only furthers my point)
Aren't most trains electric anyway? Over here(in Poland) I don't think I've ever seen a train that doesn't run on electricity.

That's a good point, lol. Just an old-fashioned acquisition, I guess.
And yet hundreds of thousands of companies pass the same audits. The call for audits came from ridiculous amounts of misreporting and waste. Accounting systems that can't do accounting and deal with trillions of taxpayer dollars should not have the goalposts moved. A 0.001% error in a trillion dollar system is ten million dollars. That's taxpayer money that could fix derelict bridges or pay for thousands of children to receive lunch at school.
No given individual has 'every right' to anything.

Virtually everything we humans do was inaugurated by those who came before, and our wholesale, liberal replication of those prior actions defines our very existence.
Yeah I'm getting pretty tired of ChatGPT lectures as well. I use it less because most of the time, when I think of some use for it, I'm like "Eh it probably would refuse to do that anyway."

I don't feel like I'm even doing anything awful with it. It just takes issue with the simplest things. Once I had it running a Text Adventure Game for me and I tried to, in game, specify to someone that changing their name was a requirement of joining my company and ChatGPT lost the plot completely and started lecturing me about how unreasonable that requirement was. Like "Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize we needed the moral police in the fantasy realm."
It's not caught off guard. Google simply can't do products because of how career growth works.

Couldn't you just compare the similarity of the embeddings? I imagine that would work in the vast majority of cases and save a lot of LLM calls.
And sometimes old==python2==painful to work on.
Is it possible to finetune an LLM on the factual content without altering its linguistic characteristics?

With Stable Diffusion, you're able to use LoRAs to introduce specific characters, objects, concepts, etc. while maintaining the same visual qualities of the base model.

Why can't something similar be done with an LLM?
I see point, maybe I should have been clearer.
Adopted by Google yes, but since when would Google adopting a technology give them full control over the future of that technology? Surely the other industry members who started RCS also have a say?

And I would argue that the language used implies Google created RCS themselves (it was their idea): "RCS is Google's idea of a solution"
Does it tax Teslas more than other vehicles?

RCS messages outside of Google’s Jibe uses HTTPS/TLS so there is encryption. What Google has done is add E2E on top.
Quality won't differ much long term because:

- They don't have significantly different training datasets (it's probably 99% the web).

- They don't have significantly different algorithms

- A big advantage that traditional Google search has the sheer amount of search traffic. They will be able to induce similar traffic (and even repurpose search traffic) to validate their LLMs. OpenAI has the same advantage with ChatGPT thanks being first out of the gate.

- Compute power and efficiency: both OpenAI and Google have access to effectively infinite capacity vs their competitors making search-adjacent products.

Most significantly, OpenAI/ChatGPT has won the LLM branding race, just like Google won the traditional search branding race.
Amazon is uniquely ruthless towards their engineers. There is a philosophy among the company's leaders that if a department as a whole is not doing well, all the people who are a part of it are to blame.
Road wear scales with weight^2 so if you want to refinance road maintenance off the parking fees, this seems reasonable.
Is the world really that black and white? An unemployed person got a job, is he supposed to decline because someone else didn't want to go to their job because collective bargaining is more important than having a job?
Strong doubt. The problem is LLMs don’t have a robust epistemology (they can’t), and are structurally unable to provide a basis over which they’ve “reasoned”.
Thats fair, from the article alone I can't tell. They perform psychological research in order to make their product addictive though so I'm biased to believe this could be more of a 'banality of evil' type situation rather than a boogeyman hunt with fun civil liberties consequences.
The job doesn't belong to you
I live in an apartment-style shared home, we have a shared front lawn (not our choice), and I do own a car. I think it's great that you live without a car, a yard, and drive a moped! I'm slowly transitioning to that life myself. I've talked with our landlord about getting rid of the grass and I rarely use my car now that I live in a walkable neighborhood. I'd love to get rid of it someday soon! I say all of this to let you know we're on the same "team".

I need to make myself clear though around this line "I don't want to restrict anyone in the future from owning a car".

I don't care if anyone owns a car, I don't think that's what really matters. What I do think is that we as a nation (I'm in the U.S.) need to stop cities from continuously _subsidizing_ car infrastructure through taxation. You mention cost issues for the poor. Please realize those poor people you speak of are forced through taxation to subsidize car infrastructure even though those same poorer people may not even own cars themselves. This is really where the system breaks down. Poor people who may live in city centers are paying a portion of their taxes for the rich people to have nice roads paved out to their spread-out suburbs. Those who choose to live in the suburbs should pay for the increased costs of infrastructure that they require. You should pay fewer taxes to live more efficiently in urban or shared housing.

A lot of the ideas I'm spouting off here are from organizations like StrongTowns. They and others like them have been doing a great job of putting words into action, but we need many more people to be in this movement and we shouldn't promote infighting on details. Individual change is great, but it will not change anything at scale. The same thing goes for climate and general social progress. We need to force change at the government level, and stopping the subsidization of car infrastructure is just one step in that long process.

It isn't really a style specific to Japan though, which is the point. Undertale is aesthetically more of a JRPG than Dark Souls. We should just be calling RPGs made in Japan "RPGs."
In fact he brilliantly used his outsider's perspective to lampoon and tweak them.

My favorite examples are the pencil statues, making fun of seemingly arbitrary obstacles in RPGs by introducing a self-admitted arbitrary obstacle, and the rolling HP counters, which cleverly introduced an element of real-time to an otherwise entirely turn-based battle system.

I would also like to once again shout out the third strongest mole as the most brilliant ludo-narrative joke in all of gaming.
> What really helped is that the cartoon would actually teach you some of the more obtuse mechanics of Pokemon. No need to give someone the strategy guide if they already know that Eevee plus fire stone equals Flareon.

Well it's not exactly trivial to build a software as extensive without just being a rip-off and having the share of games at launch. Gamers are extremely picky and it costs tons to build out a scalable system. This is where Epic failed. Sure they gave me a ton of free games, but their UX was horrible that I just never went to it and stayed within Steam.
Medically speaking, scabs are good, right? If your blood didn't clot, and didn't form scabs, you'd bleed out from a small cut.

Maybe I'm naive but I get the feeling open source is more about convincing the megacorps that they can get better, cheaper and higher quality software without vendor lock-in by cooperating with the other megacorps. Not so much as convincing volunteers that doing open source in their time off is some great idea or that they can make a living off it.
Is there no exploitation in communist nations? I should actually phrase that the other way around: is there, or has there ever been, a communist nation that did not exploit people to the max, even killing them if that was the most convenient option?

You need one backup launch window (so 21 instead of 20) and a backup rocket; these seem like no problem. I think launch cadence can also be solved with proper incentives.
Some people may be misguided when reading the "AI suggestion chip" term. I think what you mean by AI suggestion chip is actually the combination of the frontend and backend to display a suggestion chip/button [2] in the UI of Google Search that performs an action that is executed by what is considered the Google Assistant. It is not a silicon-based physical hardware AI chip.

IMO what dooms assistants is the competition on who owns the top of the funnel and how that limits what APIs software/hardware services that are exposed to third parties from hardware from LG, Samsung, Sony, etc. The Google Assistant or Alexa is useless controlling the TV if it is only allowed to turn it on or off. I couldn't care at all about the Samsung assistant universe if all I had from them is a TV, but I do want to control it with Alexa or Google.

Maybe Matter[1] will matter in the long run, but is a little late for the momentum/size the assistant teams in any company had years ago to build these things out.

Haha, no they don't all meet the language reference you linked to and if you used them you'd know that!

Python is a lot more like LISP than it is C++. There are many flavors of Python, from MicroPython to GraalPython to Cyston and literally dozens of them. They most certainly do not all meet the language reference you linked to and they all have quirks here and there.

A language does not need a specification in order to exist or to have a name. What matters is that people use it and get work done with it, and ultimately if looks like a Python and quacks like a Python, then it's fine to call it a Python.

One of my favourite memories of early teens was playing HL1 Deathmatch with my brother. We didn't have a situation that enabled actual Internet play, and we were not "in the know" about metastrategy or anything. Learning to endlessly use the longjump module with the OP4 covert ops character that did flips when jumping, to fly across boot_camp in seconds, was just exhilarating and eventually led to my brother never playing against me again. I'd just fly around the map picking up health/energy/grenades and then just blast him with the grenade launcher and disappear again.

Such good times.
Here's your culprit:

Mtotal = Mempty * e^(deltaV/Vexhaust)

If you work backwards from launching a couple of hundred tons from the moon, you end up needing all these refueling flights. Compare that to the 2.5 ton mass of the Apollo ascent stage. The rocket equation does not play.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or earnest.

This is the funniest possible response. The 'thorough need analysis' is the reason we are where we are now!

The thoroughness is so thorough that the needs change faster than the analysis can be completed, obviating the analysis in the first place.
Streetcar suburbs are not 1950s suburbs, they are 1900s-1930s suburbs. 1950s suburbs are car suburbs.
Guess you are right. Anyway in my opinion, it actually doesn't matter where exactly the ads appear. I think to be fair, you would have to compare the feeds.

A lot of that can be solved by law too. I know a lot of Americans would see this as an infringement of their freedoms but it’s quite common in other countries to place the order of responsibility to the most vulnerable to least vulnerable. What I mean by this is that cyclists need to give way to pedestrians, and cars need to give way to cyclists and pedestrians. I’ve never quite understood the logic behind jaywalking laws because it penalises the vulnerable rather than places greater responsibility on those who are least vulnerable.
I seriously doubt that. The amount of money that has been invested in autonomous driving is low tens of billions. It's the same order of magnitude as the cost of extending BART to SJ.

That's a good project, but it's just one. It would take vastly more money to actually make public transit great in the US, especially in many cities at once. I think the amount that has been privately invested in self-driving cars seems small in comparison.

No. The union leadership didn't unilaterally decide to go on strike. Tesla's "happy workers" had to vote on it and decided to.

> ChatGPT was able to gather so much data without restrictions and now companies late to the party will have many more restrictions

Not only that. OpenAI entered the second stage in AI development: acceleration. They are using their current models to build next generation models. Like they used 4v to build better DALE-3. No competitor is doing it, not at this scale. This and the fact that OpenAI rises the bar makes it very hard to compete even for behemoths like Google. Not even talking about Hugging Face. DALE-3 is incomparably better than Stable Diffusion. But it's artificially limited, like no nudes, no recognizable humans, etc. Making unrestricted competitor will be really hard to do. So, my prediction: OpenAI is far ahead and the gap will increase with the time. Unless there is a breakthrough somewhere else. Then history will repeat itself. Remember, Deep Mind was an indisputable leader not so long ago.
Isn't this usually done by having something that takes in a query, finds possibly relevant info in a database, and adds it to the LLM prompt? That allows the use of very large databases without trying to store them inside the LLM weights.

I think a better approach is using retrieval augmented generation with Wikipedia.

This data source is designed for that: https://huggingface.co/NeuML/txtai-wikipedia.

With this source, you can also select articles that are viewed the most, which is another important factor in validating facts. An article which has no views might not be the best source of information.
ChatGPT4 regularly answers questions for me, summarizes web content, etc while providing linked sources. Saying it doesn't provide links to sources is not accurate. On the other hand, Bard usually (tho admittedly not always) directs me to use Google search for the latest information.

I tried it in VR for half an hour or so. It was really nice compared to most VR shovelware. High production values, fun interactivity, etc.

But remove the VR and you're left with an above-average short FPS that would've been entirely unremarkable if not for the Half-Life tie-in. If they released it for non VR, it would probably get trashed just for not being HL3.

Honestly I don't think you're missing much. It's a good VR game only because the bar for VR gaming in general is so much lower.
As somebody who has lived in many parts of the United States, your comment is infuriating to me.

My family of four gets around great on bicycles, including when two of those members could not yet cycle themselves.

You simply buy a bike that allows easy carrying of little people and all your baggage. Instead of some silly road bike or mountain bike that is meant for sport.

You don't see me making up complaints about the impossibility of transporting a finally by car because a Lotus can't fit them all.

Or how a car can't go from SF to Hawaii. Why would you ever buy a car if it can't support that vacation, right?

These are ridiculous complaints not connected to reality or towards actually looking at the high value that various modes of transport can provide.
This isn’t history as I remember it. It’s also not history as the product announcement for bard reads.

Bard was explicitly a smaller (cheaper) version of their model. They always said they had a bigger and better one behind the curtain (now called Gemini I guess). I expected bard to be simpler than ChatGPT because they said it’d be small and simple. I guess that still means it’s disappointing 1:1 though.

The notable feature of the model that Bard has over ChatGPT (at least at time of launch) was daily updates keeping it way better for current information and events. Of course, Google has a lot more internal APIs they can/are leverage (eg search, drive, etc) so today bard has a different focus than just talking to a big model.
For curiosity's sake, what app was it? Can apps regularly get a list of other installed apps?
