.NET 8 comes with Blazor United (renamed to simply Blazor) that combines the Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly frameworks.

For client side components C# code is compiled into WebAssembly that manipulates the DOM just like JS.

Today with Blazor Server, the main drawback is the slight delay you can get when you click something. .NET8 essentially blends Server and WebAssembly and solves the problem, even giving you the best of both worlds since WebAssembly has high first load times, .NET8 Blazor loads initially with Server side and provides client side after it loads all resources.
Is Anthropic aiming for AGI or are they focused on bringing more products on the market?

It doesn't explain how Sears managed themselves into bankruptcy, handing everything to the likes of Amazon despite having all the money in the world, comparatively.

It also doesn't explain how EVs are taking off. I've seen multiple conspiratorial documentaries about why the oil companies will never allow EVs to ever take hold.
This made me think of GTA Vice City I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) where one of the radio stations played local audio files, loved that.
I can't fight a strawman.

If you trespass in restricted spaces (like a military base, or an NYPD evidence locker) you'll get arrested, yes. The crime is trespass, whether or not you have a camera filming.

Most of the "auditors" I've seen (and many are certainly insufferable) film from public sidewalks, public lobbies (as is the case in this particular court case, which the auditor won), Border Patrol checkpoint / police traffic stops within their own vehicles, etc. It's very common for them to encounter police resistance in these situations, despite a clear First Amendment right to film.

Police violating Constitutional rights isn't some wildly uncommon theoretical; I'm not sure why you seem to be portraying it as such.
Or, they are confusing the way that standard deviation is used in the article as the size of the effect, with the standard error of that estimate, which would b3 used to determine the significance.
No, that's just wrong. See the original source: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-9280.t01-1...

Great but it stills leaves the problem of accessing it. I have never heard back on access from Anthropic's website and still waiting on the request through Bedrock. Not sure the success rate of others but it seems impossible as a business to get access to the API.

Not a downplay on their announcement but with how difficult it seems to get API access its hard to see the improvement.
1. AI is broadly accessible. While it definitely has its downsides, I think there's a valid argument to be made that access to AI medical advice is better than access to no medical advice.

2. AI can hold vastly more knowledge in its "head" than a doctor. There are many rare conditions that a doctor rarely sees. That doctor doesn't have enough time to spend researching these kinds of things for their patients, but an AI might be able to analyze their medical records/test results/etc. and come up with possible diagnoses that a regular primary care physician couldn't. If these diagnoses go to the PCP for evaluation (as opposed to going straight to the patient), what is the downside or harm?

I don’t like Anthropic. they over-RLHF their models and make them refuse most requests. A conversation with Claude has never been pleasant to me. it feels like the model has an attitude or something.

And don't forget that if you reload the page after watching the video for a couple of seconds, it will restart with the ad-presenting ritual anew, as if I hadn't already seen it.

This is like changing the TV channel during an ad break only to have them restart from the beginning once you switch back to it; wait, it's worse than that. Absolutely nuts.

That’s a strong argument for nationalization of large businesses. Competition fosters innovation, and monopoly kills it. Competition with larger companies gave birth to Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft.

As long as your ARM OS is 64-bit, Deno should function properly. 32-bit _might_ be supported, but TBH we don't do any testing of those configurations as far as I'm aware.

The Economist thinks things are better[1]. In that costs are not rising faster than average inflation any more.

So not lower than before, but lower than was expected for 2023 a few years ago.

For those blocked by the paywall, the article lists causes for the slowing growth as: productivity improvements in paperwork, cheaper technology for dialysis, among other things, the Affordable Care Act, non-US countries insisting on generic drugs more often, and slower-than-inflation growth in median income (the rich hoovering up all the money).

I stand by my point that people using synonyms for consciousness being told "LLM knows true better than humans do" is bad for discussion.

The core issue is their "knowledge" is too context sensitive.

Certainly humans are very context sensitive in our memories but we all have something akin to a "mental model" we can use to find things without that context.

In contrast LLM has knowledge defined by that context quite literally.

In either case my original point on using true and false is that LLM can hallucinate and on a fundamental design level there is little that can be done to stop it.
I think it has more to do with lack of state capacity. The agencies responsible for building this don't have anyone in-house anymore who can actually plan and carry out the job, instead relying on cascading layers of consultants and sub-consultants who manage contractors and sub-contractors.
There's a great deal of irony of this criticism coming from someone claiming to know better than this study while providing nothing to back up your dismissal.
Screen time is pretty broad. A toddler watching 10 min of Ms. Rachel probably isn't the same as a teenager watching 10 min of TikTok.

We've had some single digit aged children in our care that had been exposed to GTA, scary movies, etc. Those things absolutely DID have an effect on them.

Which did you try? Many of these models don't work well at all for queries like "please do this task for me". But then people fine tune them and they work much better.

Give zephyr a try (available in ollama and similar places)

It's a fine tune of mistral and works quite well.

But as you point out, these models have less general knowledge compared to their massive siblings. Knowledge based queries are going to be lower quality than using gpt-4.
I see your point. The fact that the small sample is for 3-4 YOE 'only', may indicate they do pay very well.

There are a lot of interesting things in this announcement, but the "less refusals" from the submission title isn't mentioned at all. If anything, it implies that there are more refusals because "Claude 2.1 was significantly more likely to demur rather than provide incorrect information." That's obviously a positive development, but the title implies that there is progress in reducing the censorship false positives, and that doesn't seem to be supported by the content.
Twitter was at one time commonly referred to as "microblogging". So it seems reasonable to ask what the similarities and differences are.
Not all screen time is equal. Though, all screen time may have negative consequences.

My third grade son spends time daily on typing and Khan Academy (iMac). He spends an additional few minutes reading about sports (public school issued iPad). His video game exposure is quite limited. Though I have a PS5, he rarely plays it (once per week, perhaps – of course Madden and MLB The Show).

He spends a lot of time either at school or playing organized club sports. Shorter and colder winter days will have a negative impact on outdoor activities, so looking at fields with lights or indoor sports.

His cognitive functions are quite good. I'd say the iPad is definitely the lowest quality computer interaction he gets.

The real setback for his cohort was Covid. Those who spent time on iPhones and iPads then (likley continuing on from their early childhood) appear to lag and continue to struggle. These kids are easy to pick out, and I sympathize with their struggle.

I have another young child now (<2), and again: no iPhones or iPads for him. I'll wait for the research to catch up.
A few kids in my 8yo son's class don't use screens. No TVs, phones, games, etc. Others are already binge watching StarWars, Minecraft, etc.

The differences between these 2 groups are enormous in terms of their play, their attention during lessons, their overall academic achievements.

I will never believe a study telling me that spending 2 hours watching star wars is better for a kid than going to build a fort in the forest.

Joke‘s on them when the EU cracks those lockdowns wide open.
There is a straightforward solution if you have enough time to commit. Your kids will likely prefer to play with you than sit on the screen every time.

I think the bigger problem is that “we” just don’t “have the time” and fighting the default time sinks when kids are left to their on devises is an uphill battle.
I disagree with this. There's a lot of evidence that modern society has made things much better for everyone.

That doesn't mean that there aren't negative influences in modern society. The rich wanting to get richer is definitely one of the major ones that is particularly powerful right now.

But that's why society is a process. You gotta fight back and moderate the negative influences, and boost the more positive ones.

I think the question whether AI will fall on either the positive or negative side of the ledger is wrong in itself. AI will provide a lever to magnify whichever direction society and people were going in anyways independent of AI. It's a tool, and hopefully a really powerful tool, but it's not a God. It can be used equally for good and bad.

And if you believe, like I do (and by all appearances you do too), that our current society is balanced to benefit bad actors over good actors (where bad/good are being defined in terms of benefiting society overall), the magnifying effect of AI is likely to magnify the net negative.

The one advantage of something new like AI coming around is that, I believe, the primary reason open democratic societies allow themselves to become tilted in favor of bad actors is because of complacency...it's usually a slow shift rather than a single big change. The arrival of a major chance like AI forces society and everyone in it to once again take stock of where society stands.

This gives us an opportunity to change the tilt of our society to promote good actors again, before AI truly starts having an impact, which gives us an opportunity to ensure AI magnifies a net benefit, rather than a net negative, for society.

And frankly I think we are closer to having that reckoning than we've ever been in my few decades on this planet, so overall I'm optimistic about AI. But again, whether we benefit or suffer with AI will be independent of AI itself.

> unless you're hacking very frequently I never found the actual build of the kernel to be the more cumbersome part

Doesn't kernel use incremental builds? All well-designed C projects that I know of compile .c files into .o files and link them, so a single file modification only requires a single recompilation/relinking.
I believe the article cited 15% rather than 30% for subscriptions, or 11% if you process your own payments. So [.15, .11] —> [.04, .00], or an overall discount of 11% off subscription revenue they take through the platform.

It sounded to me that, in exchange for that favorable per-subscription rate, Spotify paid $50,000,000 into a “success fund,” whatever that means. $50mm / .11 = $454mm... sounds like they’re basically paying the equivalent of Play Store commission on half a billion’s worth of revenue, without any guarantee that they’ll actually be able to sell that much new growth through Play Store. That feels like sharing the risk in a way that isn’t too out of the domain of reason.

From [0], they added about $2bn in revenue year-on-year in 2022. Although we don’t know the term of this Play Store agreement (or what a “success fund” is), paying an amount equivalent to the normal commission on 1/5 of that total annual growth figure seems like a pretty nontrivial amount to commit.

I wouldn't consider that to be the "Square weirdness" from the Square of the 90s... For today, maybe.

What I mean moreso by that is that FF games up until 9 more or less had this shared tone of "stories with gravity interspliced with extremely goofy moments and oneliners".

SMRPG fits that tightrope almost as well as the more well known games it shares a platform with (Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6); there's multiple gags but the game also still treats this idea of "Bowser just got upstaged by this army of metal guys" with a completely straight face. The stuff surrounding the core story of the Seven Stars isn't undercut by anything but it's still followed up by the running gags of Mario doing impressions of the various NPCs he's met because he's a silent protagonist and they wanted to animate an explanation.

Later Mario RPGs would largely ditch that gravity in favor of just going all-in on the goofiness as the RPGs went on (Mario & Luigi got a really bad case of that). Square on the other hand bled creatives during the merger with Enix until Nomura was the only one left and he got super up in his own ass about storytelling... which led to Kingdom Hearts becoming what it is.

What gets you in a spot of bother, I think, is reading what you think your interlocutor says, instead of reading what they actually say.

Your comment presupposes that bigger = better.

This may or may not be true, but size is not necessarily a predictor of victory, especially in warfare.

History is rife with smaller belligerents defeating larger ones through innovation/force multiplication/asymmetrical warfare.

I think it's fair to say that an oligopoly stifles innovation; you can see it in how expensive and slow companies like Lockheed, Boeing, or BAE are when it comes to providing matériel needed by actual warfighters.

I don't think this is an either-or scenario – you need both – but saying that we can only be globally competitive on the backs of megacorporations is incorrect.
The DMA is about whether they can be the only store, not whether they can do whatever they want with their store.

The DMA will let them charge 100% fees if they want, it just won't allow them to be the only store on the platform to force people to pay that fee.
> Sure, you will support all of the creators independently, but you're too cheap to pay for no ads for a great product

It’s not a great product. The player is absolutely terrible and goes out of its way to remove features that the OS player provides. The company is just another rent-seeking monopolist. It’s a product that I have to use, because it’s basically the only game in town after their bait and switch, having driven all competition to the ground when YouTube was free. I am glad to pay for Nebula and a couple of Patreons, but I cannot support Google willingly in this case.

They are not trying to win me over. They are trying to bully me into accepting the new deal they are forcing on us. I won’t comply.

> There's a ton of value YouTube Premium, both on the creator and consumer sides.

I’d be happy to if they were not trying to force their rubbish YouTube music thing as well. Again, they are not acting in good faith. Again, I do support Nebula, I am not against the concept of paying for videos itself.
Their goal is to research AI safety. To advance AI safety knowledge. Making money is just a necessity evil. (I am serious)
It is not "spaghetti-code" but well-engineered code I believe. The output of an LLM is based on billions of fine-tuned parameters but we know how those parameters came about, by executing the code of the AI-application in the training mode.

It doesn't really encode "business logic", it just matches your input with the best output it can come up with, based on how its parameters are fine-tuned. Saying that "We don't understand how it works" is just unnecessary AI-mysticism.
As I recall, we got C and UNIX because the conditions of AT&T’s telecommunications monopoly prevented them from competing in software. So they gave away the source code to academic institutions for a comparatively small fee and weak licensing

Though from the bug report, the fix did not make it into Python 2.7 ... still being used some places today — by other people, not me (:

There is a backport fixed version though: https://code.google.com/archive/p/python-subprocess32/
This is where OpenAI/MSFT loses. Chaos in OpenAI/MSFT will lead to Anthropic overtaking them. They've already been ahead in many areas, dead locked in others, but with OpenAI facing a crisis, they'll likely gain significant headway if they execute well .. at least for the risk-adverse enterprise use-cases. I still am not a fan of either due to restrictions and 'safety' training wheels that treat me like a child
Just throwing in to back you up: My child becomes unresponsive to most inputs that would ordinarily motivate him (e.g. "Would you like a cookie?") after a certain amount of screentime and becomes pronouncedly agitated should you try to limit screen time (e.g. "It's time to go to school in five minutes. You have to pause the show by then." Cue literal wailing and crying.) When screen time is limited to brief periods (< ~90 minutes) these problems do not manifest.
If anything the "Hard Questions" chart indicates _more_ refusals as the "Declined to answer" increased from 25% to 45%. They are positioning this as a good thing since declining to answer instead of hallucinating is the preferable choice, but I agree there is nothing in the article indicating less refusals.
