>The Puppeteers mistook the City Builders to be the Ringworld's engineers and become suddenly afraid to encounter so powerful a species. The Puppeteers examined the Ringworld's superconductor material and created a technophytic bacterium to seed the Ringworld and destroy the superconductor. The strategy was to follow the probes with trading ships and come to the profitable rescue of the City Builders. However, the Puppeteers soon realized that the City Builders could not possibly have created the Ringworld, and discovered several Pak artifacts. The Puppeteers feared the Pak above nearly all other threats.

>The Conservatives took control of the government and the Ringworld project was abandoned.

Puppeteers don't colonize. They trade, and destroy threats, but the Conservative majority doesn't actually want to own or operate the Ringworld. (Remember, they're flying through space on a rosette of five planets... with over a trillion puppeteers crowded onto just one of them, and the other four covered with automated farms. Elbow room isn't something a herd animal values.)

Late reply but, LLMs are not bad at abstraction in general, just spatially focused abstraction.

Yes, it is true that people paying with debit and cash get to fund the CC point programs. And how is that, you ask?... It's because the merchant raises prices slightly to cover the higher transaction fees of which a portion goes to fund the point programs (scam) that the CC companies run. Generally, poorer people pay with cash and debit cards.

I might mention that the point programs are just the modern day rebates, but just applied across all purchased items, instead of a select few.

> humans created AI and will debug it & turn it back on if anything bad happens to it

I think this is a little naive honestly. One because you're assuming AI will care about it's creators like humans care about their parents, and two you're assuming AI cares about being "turned back on" like humans have a desire to live.

There's absolutely no reason to believe an AI will give a damn about its creator beyond its ability to use that creators affection for it for its own gain.

I can't tell if this is a troll post or not.

This take ... I'm not even sure where to start:
1. Everything I said applies equally to microservices as it does to monoliths.
2. You must have never worked with microservices if you think they are a panacea.
3. What is the difference between the same amount of code but split between one monolith versus many microservices?

I've thought a lot about this. I think it goes much deeper than people merely not being great at interface work-- I think a lot of FOSS development is a backlash to the sort of development people have to do at work, where they're forced to reckon with designers that have more say about what the interface looks like than they do. Also, in many instances, these developers tell themselves that they are making great interfaces but they're just a little bit ugly, and people need to read the docs and get over it. Most computer users who use dozens of application every week will never read a single complete paragraph of software documentation in their entire lives. Why? Because they don't have to-- and many of these FOSS applications are doing things a lot simpler than what MS Outlook does.

Also, anybody who's been to art school or mentored junior developers knows that we get most defensive about the things we're least confident in. Unfortunately, that comes out when trying to address UI problems in FOSS projects.
I am as n00b as someone can be on this (although I've been doing software engineer for more than 20 years now) so please ignore any nonsense I may express.

My intention is to work on news clustering and summarization. So far just by using some "clever" prompts I have been able to generate some pretty good news summaries and I have not started clustering yet. But, I have used GPT 4 so far and my educated guess is that soon enough I will hit some quality / cost limits. So, fine tuning a Llama 2 model with (hopefully) small datasets to improve costs and quality on my specific tasks seems like a reasonable path forward.

Does that make sense? Thank you for your answer!!!

Not religious, just a woman who has actually been prostituted unlike armchair theorists and johns.

We regularly recognise sex crimes as especially heinous for well-understood reasons. Pleading ignorance is unconvincing. All work is coercive, but as a society we recognise that coercing someone into sex is especially heinous compared to coercing someone into filling out an Excel spreadsheet.

What were your thoughts on their take on Autofac?
I took an AI course in college back around 2015. Just a bit before AlphaGo.

One project was to implement a simple Q-learning action/value system to play simple games, like Pacman.

The crypto-bros-turned-AGI-experts on twitter are spouting the most uninformed, misguided garbage about this whole thing, it's quite amazing to watch.

And I'm not saying that I am smart or an expert about Q* because I took an introductory college course. I'm saying that even I, someone who knows basically nothing beyond the introductory concept can identity that these people have no clue what they are talking about, and yet the have this incredible talent of speaking in such an authoritative and faux-intelligent tone. It's amazing.

My favorites are the tweets that sound like this:

"So, now we know that [insert something totally wrong]. Well, what if extend that further, by [another totally wrong conclusion]. Here's an explanation of how this all works. A thread, 1/N"

followed by a full thread, images included, of drivel.
I'm personally convinced that a lot of arguments in modern life boil down to not going to a sufficient level of detail. Mostly I find that both parties in an disagreement have valid points and simply haven't defined their terms precisely enough or been clear that they are talking about a p95 vs a p5 situation.

I remember I Fell into this trap when I was 16 and we were on a 3 day school trip. Teachers said we had to be back in the dorm by 11, everyone complained so they said 11:30. It didn't work on 16 year olds back then (except me who was very stupid at that age) and it's pretty obvious it's not tricking people today either. People just don't care enough to be outraged about it that's why this strategy works.
It's fine to read an append-only file. But if the file is a unit file, you can't read the version being written until it is done. So you have file integrity.

I think that a part of FOSS culture for some developers is a backlash against the things that bother them when coding at work, and a designer having more say over how the interface works than the developer really pisses a lot of people off.

> Because JavaScript is the worse programming language in common commerical usage today. It was designed over several decades by browser manufacturers.

Do you mean "the worst"? There are plenty languages that are worse, and that are still in use. It's not great, but it's also not as terrible as you're making it seem.

> Absolute anything else would be better than it.

Okay, what does that have to do with static typing? Or are you saying that Typescript is better than Javascript? If static typing can make such "the worse" language better, why can't it improve other languages as well?

> Static typing in Python is a complete disaster when it's used on real commerical projects. I've seen the code thank you very much.

You make it seem like the alternative, not having static typing, is in any way better. No, it's definitely not - having e.g. your IDE know the types of values to help you in refactoring is extremely valuable, as is having static type checkers tell you about issues before running your code.

You either have unknown type problems because you're missing test cases, or you're re-building a static type system in your test suites. There is no way around verifying your assumptions about types if you want to build stable software.

Here’s another awesome Karpathy lecture from Stanford:

https://youtu.be/XfpMkf4rD6E?si=1_EmuYDFfi7RNEhz

This video is the best for learning attention, specifically where he explains:

Think of attention like a directed graph of vectors passing messages to each other

Keys are what other tokens are communicating to you,

Queries are what you are interested in,

and Values are what you are projecting out yourself.

When you matrix multiply the queries x keys(transposed), you measure the interestingness or affinity between the two.

Fire stick to apple TV is apples to oranges. The real comparisons are with NVidia Shield pro, Fire TV cube etc. and the $ delta isn't that much.

It's true that Apple doesn't have a product like the fire stick, but it's also the sort of market they aren't interested in, so doubt they'll make one. The equivalent I guess is licensing to "smart" TV companies, some can play apple content directly.

Certain people. I was involved from the beginning, and most of the OGs just shrug at the present day noise - the convert zeal being long exhausted by all the complaints about how PoW makes Mother Gaia cry. The people who have a crazy level of investment are the tech journalists that took very public positions badmouthing bitcoin. That is probably also true of anyone else who can't resist calculating how much their mistake cost them when they compared bitcoin to beanie babies at $150.

Thunderbolt 3 doesn't use those USB 2.0 wires; that was one of the big changes in USB4/TB4 to use them. Once you're in Thunderbolt 3 mode, all USB ports are provided by PCIe xHCI controllers by the TB3 device.

In actuality, the mode where the XDR display consumes 38gbps of uncompressed display bandwidth is an Apple-only mode requiring special Titan Ridge firmware that aggregates 6 lanes of HBR3. Contrary to the article, Alpine Ridge does not support 6k, which specifically is why the iMac Pro doesn't support 6k output. It requiring special firmware is also why this mode only works when directly connected to the Mac.

But yeah, it's annoying that everyone throws bandwidth numbers around without mentioning or even thinking if it's link rate or data rate.
Energy may be abundant in the universe, but the energy we produce is limited. And for example, solar energy requires extensive land use.

Okay, thanks for the clarification we mostly agree then.

For the record, I do acknowledge that sex trafficking is both cancerous and increases in countries with decriminalized and legalized prostitution. (I would point out these are two distinct frameworks)

My view of this is that its like any other thing, lets take actual cancer. Without healthcare, people show up when there are emergencies that reveal they are in stage 4 and terminal. With broad healthcare and improved screening people are found in stage 2 and treated. The studies will show that there is an increase in stage 2 cancer and more resources go into prevention. Sick people from other markets without healthcare do medical tourism and gooses the statistics up even more.

The similarities here are numerous. The change was the expansion of healthcare, the solution is not rolling back the expansion of healthcare because countries with healthcare have spikes in stage 2 cancer, in this example.

Analogies compare dissimilar things with at least one common attribute.

If the bordering countries are operating under criminalization frameworks or economically lesser, then trafficking will be greater from those places. The solution isn't to rollback the legal status to criminalize everyone again. Or use those countries as an example in order to continue to criminalize everyone and make their life more difficult and dangerous.

"Google pays creators 55% of the ad revenue, so yes Google has to pay for those videos."

Google does not have to pay for videos. If a video brings google enough ad revenue, they willingly give some of it to the channel that made the video. They do not pay a fixed or up-front cost, and assume none of the risk/effort in creating videos. To be fully pedantic, Google doesn't pay for videos in any sense, they pay for the resulting attention.

"People upload to YouTube because YouTube gives them plenty of ad revenue. They don't upload to sites without a lot of ads since that would reduce their ad revenue."

The videos people want to watch are only on Youtube -> Viewers only use Youtube -> Content creators only upload to Youtube -> Repeat...

>with some deep religious and philosophical elements that I'm not sure everyone is ready for.

This is how I felt about Battlestar. I barely remember watching the original series as a kid, but I just remember a couple of character names, Cylons (which I thought were cool), the space ships, and the human in the dark room ontop of the pyramid shape the Cylons talked to. That was it. Then I watched the reboot, and was shocked by the religious overtones. Clearly, I never researched anything about it until that point, and then it all made sense.

I'm nervous about Buck Rogers (biddybiddup, what's up Buck!) might turn out the same way on a reboot.

We made the mistake of expecting Amazon to continue improving their Prime Video selection and Alexa smart home device dominance, and they've completely nose dived since around Bezos' departure. Once we realized the devices were only useful to us as Spotify speakers or making announcements, and, Prime video selection was becoming infested with ads or ad infused content (Freevee); we Sold all the devices and cancelled our Prime subscription.

Cutting the cable originally meant decoupling from wasting time on nonstop marketing BS, but here we are again. I guess it was inevitable and great while it lasted, but time to cut the cable version 2.

"So close"? Where do you think my understanding of labour comes from and why on Earth would you assume I don't apply the same analysis to other work?

As a society we acknowledge that sex crimes are worse compared to other crimes that are physically similar. "Rape is just assault" and "sexual assault is just assault" makes no sense even if it's technically true in some particular definitions you have, there is a reason we use a different word to describe crimes that include a sexual component, because we recognise sexual crimes as particularly heinous and degrading. Similarly, all labour is coerced but we recognise that coercing someone into filling out an Excel spreadsheet, while wrong, is not especially heinous in the way that coercing someone into sex is.
