No knock on C# or Java developers meant here, however I find that C# and Java Developers find 10 years of support not long enough, nearly every other ecosystem you're lucky if you get 3 year time horizons of backward compatibility and/or support.

10 years is pretty amazing, all told, IMO.
First reaction: okay, should we be impressed?

June: flashy ML-perf demo with CoreWeave using 22k H100s

November: actually trained model using 5k H100s

June: we claim Inflection-1 is the best model in its compute class and are preparing a frontier model

November: we beat PaLM 2, which everyone else forgot about long ago anyway

Inflection got a ton of hype with its $1.3B raise (likely not cash but principally GPU compute credits) earlier this year, but now is starting to look like the next victim of inflated expectations.
He does seem very un-Sikh. In my experience, quickest way to disarm a Kirpan is to just tell the assailant I'm not a Sikh. I don't understand the theology behind it. As far as I can guess, everyone outside the Khalsa are functionally children, limiting Sikh violence to just other Sikhs. I've observed multiple bizarre Sikh tendencies like that and observe them nowhere else. Another is the tendency for Sikh cab drivers being stabbed or shot after refusing to deny they are muslim, the rate of which far exceeding actual muslims, which means that muslims have less qualms denying they are muslim than sikhs.
> 2) Market cap is quite literally a bank. I can always borrow from the market by releasing more shares, or do the reverse by buying them back.

Here's an idea. Become the CEO of a large cap company and try that. If you are please let us know which one, I'd love to short your stock just before you do that because I would make a literal killing.

The moment you do that your stock will tank a significantly larger amount than what you just diluted, also you would be fired by your board the very next day.

Modern stock prices are not anywhere near book value of the company, the is especially true for Tesla which by many people's estimation is quite overvalued and a move like that would just tank the stock.

You are talking out your ass.
> The isolation technology that Flatpak uses (bubblewrap) isn't exclusive to Flatpacked

I wish flatpacked apps actually used the isolation (most don't, so http://flatkill.org/2020/ is still true today) but that isolation is mostly under the control of the packager, not you.

On this point, Deno ( https://docs.deno.com/runtime/manual/basics/permissions ) and pledge.com ( https://justine.lol/pledge ) are better; you have to explicitly allow-list what you want, instead of hoping that the potentially very untrustworthy and third-party packager had your best interests in mind and denylisting what you don't want.
IMHO, legacy code and backward compatibility.

Apple users are forced to update so that stuff keeps running smoothly, now, try to tell a Windows 11 user that he can no longer run that piece of historical software that was so cool in Windows 95 ;)

Besides that, no Windows version was fully developed from scratch, all of them still have legacy code bloating around.
> the US never even gave a "stern warning" to Israel

Washington publicly demanded an independent investigation, in effect calling the Israeli investigation a sham. The FBI even got involved. That’s likely the reason Israel ever admitted that it was an Israeli bullet that killed her.

Also, as other mentioned, getting killed abroad is night and day from getting killed at home.

No mention of the lack of opnesource GPU drivers?

I know someone with an Orange Pi 5 and everything he needs works, except the GPU. A lot of SBCs are fine if all you want to do is run headless software on them. The armbian images come with reasonably good hardware drivers. But now that panfrost has stopped development for the newest generation of Mali GPUs, there is no hope for the Orange Pi 5 to be anything, but a paperweight.
Playground for SCIM: identity management for students and testers
SCIM.dev is a platform I created with a vision to change the way many handle identity management in applications and services. The idea was born out of a desire to introduce a proper way to manage users and authorization not just more accessible, but also more enjoyable. Your feedback is appreciated.
Are we seeing that? I'm certainly not? I suppose "psychopaths" will attach themselves to literally anything given the right opportunities, but EA seems like a relatively poor target all things considered.

At it's core, I struggle to see how anyone can disagree with effective altruism as a basic principle. People want to do good in the world, but we're all monkey-brained and emotional, so that often manifests in ineffective use of time and resources to do things that give an immediate, visible outcome so we can feel good instead of what would actually do the most good.

EA to me is basically just shifting altruistic desires from emotional-payoff (volunteering at a soup kitchen around the holidays, donating to a local animal shelter) to things that have the best outcome (volunteering at a political action group to improve laws, donating to an NGO distributing mosquito nets in malaria zones).
I am not making a value judgement, I am telling you how it is.

Performance is not the limiting factor keeping people from switching to Linux.

If I could take my current desktop PC, swap to Linux, and all the hardware and all the software I like (including games) would Just Work(tm) without me spending weeks to months diagnosing (and inevitably giving up on some of what I want), I'd swap in a heartbeat.

But that is not the reality we live in.

It's gotten better, but frankly I doubt it ever will really get to the point of usability for someone like me.
> Was goldeneye as good as PC shooters like CS or Quake?

I remember it being bigger than Quake. Everyone I knew had played it, but not everyone had played quake. Probably do to the great/easy 4-person multiplayer.

It received critical acclaim and sold over eight million copies, making it the third-bestselling Nintendo 64 game.
>Your scenario is also NOT why politicians are attacking residential areas; if you look at corrupt legislation like California's SB 9/10, it allows ONE house to be replaced by a 10-unit monstrosity without permits or any vetting or veto power by municipalities.

Sure. That's because California didn't follow my suggestions until they hit an emergency stage. If they had made sensible stepwise decisions they wouldn't have to make drastic ones.

It's like all the cities who defunded the police suddenly deciding to up funding beyond where it used to be.

If they had been sensible they would have kept funding stable while implementing stepwise reform. Instead they goofed and now have to spend more for less

Interesting paper, I happened to do something very similar for my master's thesis around a decade ago. I did not prove the soundness of the type system due to lack of time but had the feeling that should not be a major obstacle, probably in my naivete.

I skimmed through this thing and found no way to define clocked feedback circuits. This was something I was conceptually struggling with that at the time. The pipelined combination of timing definitions seems straightforward enough as its just adding integers together. Maybe someone who is actually up to date can correct me or provide some more info.
Because at launch you get a very attraction value proposition, a very high end piece of kit priced way below equivalent pc specs. Also developers tend to squeeze more and more out of this hardware as it ages, unlike pcs where hardware upgrades are often required sooner.

I can't play games as much as I used to (being a parent leaves little free time). But when I did I owned pcs and consoles. I don't think I'm biased on the issue. I enjoy both. But none of my friends played pc games, they weren't into tinkering etc.
I don't know the issues you faced. But Arch in itself is a DIY distro. Not a managed rolling release like Void/OpenSUSE etc. This means you are expected to maintain it. Any updates which need manual handholding usually comes up at https://archlinux.org/news/.

But I am glad you use whatever works for you now. :)

If you are curious, here is what I do. I update every two or three weeks. I have timeshift setup which means if anything bricks (Which hasn't in last 5 years), I just rollback it up with zero terminal usage. If I have time, I do use terminal. Otherwise I will just rollback and wait for the fix. Also, I have seen a lot of issues in point release which gets fixed by just a software update in rolling releases.

This might sound like a lot. But usually this means going to https://archlinux.org/news/ and see if there is any new news which needs manual intervention. Usually there won't be. And read the packages that are getting updated. If I do have time, I usually skim through forums for any outstanding issues. But I have become sooo lazy and confident about Arch Linux that I haven't in months.
Oh come on India bullied Canada and got away with it. Maybe there is some “justice” coming but all that’s happened is Canada showed it was too scared to take any risk at all, had a soft as hell muted response by a leader who clearly isn’t respected enough to be taken seriously to sell consequences. His behaviour before this incident set this up for failure too, it’s a long built up pattern where Canada is losing its position as a diplomatic power player and this just shows our leadership as a global moral authority is basically been nullified.

This is diplomatic and precedent setting as much as it’s a pursuit of some specific criminal justice.

Obsessing about not disrupting the the economic/diplomatic/immigration status quo, not offending anybody even when they seriously violate your sovereignty, and just generally playing nice guy is not how you deal with this sort of situation.
There is software included that allows you to add your own samples(audio files).
Sure, but there are no dirt cheap iPhones, unlike Android phones. There doesn't have to be 100% correlation before people start making assumptions.
It’s interesting to me that Linux doesn’t have support for putting ext/xfs/… on top of MTD/UBI devices (i.e. making wear leveling more independent). I imagine many people installing on normal SSDs with built-in controllers use XFS. Not sure why we don’t see more raw NAND w/ a basic PCI-e controller with Linux doing all the wear leveling & whatnot given the problems vendors have flushing. You could even have an attached M3 that Linux could load companion software on for accelerating performance to make it even more on par with traditional SSDs
Out of the box php also scaled pretty damn far for them before they had to do anything significant. Hundreds of millions of users as early as 2009, which seems to be before the original Hiphop existed.

No I am not claiming this is not true as a rule, and most autocracies in fact fail badly at delivering basic services.

I'm questioning whether learning the syntax of a language is the main difficulty in backend development and should be the main decision point.
M.2/2280 makes it hard. Can't use cheaper aluminum can capacitors due to their size/height. The low profile (tantalum?) capacitors are expensive and take up a lot of PCB area, forcing a two sided PCB design on 2280 (the 110mm version would be better here). M.2 only provides 5V. On other form factors you get 12V and can get more charge stored for the same capacitance (q=CV) without needing a DC-DC converter.
The $55M Saga of a Netflix Series You'll Never See
Here are the quality setting on YouTube Music according to Google:

Low

Uses the least storage on your device

Bitrate: 48 kbps AAC and OPUS

Normal

Default setting

Bitrate: 128 kbps AAC and OPUS

High

Higher-quality audio will use more storage on your device

Bitrate: 256 kbps AAC and OPUS

Seems like it is automatically set to normal on WiFi and Mobile Data. It also seems like there is another option for streaming labeled "Always High" which forces 256 kbps stream over bad connection.

I typically only use Youtube Music for discovery then buy albums that I like (or rip them if they're not available for purchase). I, personally, have never experienced low quality audio on YT Music.
Yes, you'd be able to use whatever samples you want; transfer from the computer ("drag and drop samples using the sample tool") or record them yourself via the input.
> increases productivity to not have to double check each and every instance of violating a lint error,

At what cosmic speed should you be pumping out code for this to be a concern?

Also, in C#/.NET, where programmers predominantly use MSVS, which is an atrocious editor with MSBuild, which is an atrocious build system, both hampering productivity...

Also, plenty of linter errors are actual errors that need non-trivial fixing. So, I struggle to understand how that may be automatically fixed (at least in the context of Python). A trivial example: misspelled variable name -- how would the linter know if that's a typo, or that the programmer intended to declare this variable, but forgot to do that?
Yep! If you showed me that landing page hiding the price, and knowing TE, I would have said that it was going to be at least double or triple the price.
You can make it sound as esoteric as you want, but in the end an AI will still be bound by the laws of physics. Being infinitely smart will not help with that.

I don't think you understand logic very well btw if you wish to suggest that you can reach valid conclusions from inadequate axioms.

The problem with email is that it fills so many roles. It's both the only universal chat program between trusted entities and the only universal way to allow people to cold call you.

If you're really worried about spam, I recommend just keeping a different email address for each separate purpose.
>Middleware ("fairings" in rocket parlance)

I really hate it when libraries introduce their own nomenclature for the sake of being cutesy.
It doesn't. The adoption of compulsory process for investigation of certain potential violations doesn't make other violations less infringing. Its a procedural change dealing with investigations, not a change in the law governing the behavior the FTC regulates.
I wonder exactly why that is, though. I imagine it has more to do with historical use of Fortran in those fields than anything that Fortran specifically has to offer. There's no real reason to switch to another language, I suppose, except that you're limiting yourself to a much smaller pool of talent. Maybe learning Fortran "proves" one is passionate enough about one of these fields? Or requiring Fortran keeps out hordes of undisciplined JavaScript developers.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't expect so many informative and reasonable replies. Kinda makes me want to check out Fortran. Thanks y'all!
The US government was passing AML legislation more than 50 years ago. Mass surveillance wasn't exactly practical back then, so I'm pretty sure those laws were passed as a real attempt to stop criminals rather than to erode the rights of US citizens. So no, I don't think the term money laundering is some thinly veiled cover for privacy violations.

This is sorta like saying the US government introduced the Communications Act of 1934 because they had predicted the internet and wanted to normalize the idea of wiretapping so there would be less friction to introducing mass surveillance 75 years later.

The US government does do a lot of horrible things that violate the rights of its citizens, but they also really don't like organized crime and terrorism. Not everything is an explicit attack on privacy.
It's still a conflict of interest. One that they should avoid. Microsoft COULD appoint someone who they like and shares their values, that is not a MSFT employee. That would be a preferred approach but one that I doubt a megacorp would take
> First, the for-profit subsidiary is fully controlled by the OpenAI Nonprofit. We enacted this by having the Nonprofit wholly own and control a manager entity (OpenAI GP LLC) that has the power to control and govern the for-profit subsidiary.

Im not criticizing. Big fan of avoiding being taxed to fund wars....but its just funny to me it seems like theyre sort of having their cake and eating it too with this kind of structure.

Good for them.
Axioms are constraints as much as they might look like guidance. We live in a neuromorphic computer. Logic explores this, even with few axioms. With fewer axioms, it will be less constrained.
They did give reasons they were just vague. Reading between the lines, it seems the board was implying that Sam was trying to manipulate the board members individually. Was it true? Who knows. And as an outside observer, who cares? This is a fight between rich people about who gets to be richer. AI is so much larger than one cultish startup.

Regular reminder that most open source LLM benchmarks are not very useful (in the sense that they don't represent day to day ai chatbot usage and what users care about). If you haven't looked through the datasets to see what they actually contain, I'd encourage you to do so. [1] I think we're just in a strange suboptimal schelling point of sorts, where people report their scores on those benchmarks because they think other people care about those sort of benchmarks, and therefore those benchmarks are the ones that people expect and care about.

And to recap their statement about it being second most powerful, it's based on MMLU scores, which IMO is a non-useful comparison. (Also, doesn't test against GPT-4-Turbo or Claude-long-2.1)

What they're saying is that Inflection-2 ranks #2 relative to other models including GPT-4, Claude-2, PaLM 2, Grok-1, and Llama 2 70b, specifically on MMLU scores.

This model could be great, but that'll be determined by "do day to day users, both free and paying, prefer it over Claude 2 and GPT-4-Turbo" - not MMLU scores.

They did not explicitly say it, it was definitely implied, since their entire comment was to claim that is was misogyny and sexism that were the motivations for commenters questioning these board members qualifications. I invite folks to actually look into qualifications of all of the board members, unless it's changed they're on the OpenAI website.
so… it is typical. Find me an article on lesswrong that says climate change should be taken as seriously as AI, it might exist (probably with trigger warnings all over it) but let’s see what the comments are like.

Yes, absolutely they licensed it. Teenage Engineering is not a random mom-and-pop shop, and that image is not a photograph that most people wouldn't recognize.
No, analytics are not good. They're bad, actually.

They don't solve the problems they claim to solve, and they create new problems.
why are you forced to listen to "random" podcasts vs podcasts by people you trust?

This argument is so dishonest its infuriating.
Can't help but feel it's their gameplan. And I try to remain non-reactive, but I thought it was smart.

That toy car looked ridiculous, but not completely out of line with their shenanigans in the past. So it seemed somewhat "in character."

And then to immediately follow-up with a way more useful, beautiful, functional, cool and interesting product that's "only" $50 more expensive – with all the anchoring price point tactics and such dialed-in – and is like, 3x less than their OP-1 was (maybe even more), and "only" 2-3x more expensive than their higher-end pocket operators that essentially have similar functions... Then I do think they know exactly what they're doing.

All that being said, it absolutelye worked on someone like me and I bought one lol. I was so, so ready to be offended and be presented with more egregiously expensive-but-useless doodads. But $300 for a slick sampler... That's really not bad at all. Considering the Roland 404 is $200 more, and some other audio gadgets I bought with less functions are in the $200 range.
Sure, fair point, but where you draw the line isn’t really material to my argument. In fact no one needs to be particularly greedy in order for large corporations to do very bad things. It just happens organically through local incentives and diffusion of responsibility.
What are you trying to argue here? Everyone discriminates, so we should stop outlawing it?

Banning discrimination based on caste is good, full stop. It harms people. Certainly go after the other discrimination systems -- no one is arguing not to.
Python not only has types but it's type system is superior to typeScript.

Get this python has sum types and exhaustive pattern matching exactly like rust or haskell.

The only problem with python are the libraries are sometimes written with tricks that make static typing ineffective. Other than that it is really really good at scale. Better API then typescript imo which is really it's main competitor.
