One key problem is nobody, none of the suits anyway, want to believe that there are essential, hard problems that can't be outsourced, can't be commodified, can't be shortcut in any way.

My favorite take on "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" is an old Ziggy cartoon, which I can't find, with Ziggy looking at a restaurant sign which reads:

I think because of the lawsuit risk car manufacturers will be pretty liberal with how bad your driving can be before it shuts down.

Getting to meetings, funerals, and the hospital on time for your baby to be born so the mother and child don't die in your immobilized car... This is all super ripe lawsuit territory.

This particular law should be rolled back, though.

In my career, it has already happened more than once. And definitely not deliberately.

There are many ways this can happen accidentally. You could be trying to checkout a branch and tab complete your way into a folder name instead. You could be typing alt/esc + . with the intent of getting last argument of previous bash command, keyboard glitches and you end up with . instead.

Just because it hasn’t happened to you yet, you shouldn’t discount the experience of others. That’s like saying you have never messed up dd yet, so there are no problems with dd’s design.
I still desperately wish the industry had been able to push through to an optical data + plain power interconnect standard ages ago instead of it falling apart. It's so pleasant to deal with fiber. The same OS2 or OM3 I installed over a decade ago for 10 Gbps is still fine for 40 or 100 Gbps. Cost was a complaint at one point, yet even without the enormous economies of scale a general standard would bring price and performance lines have ended up converging anyway. 40G SR (so still good to 150m) modules are now at $40 or less, even 100G is less than $100. Putting that onto simpler fiber instead of MTP/MPO with SFP56 remains much more expensive, a 50G-SR is still like $280, but that appears to primarily be a product of it being very new and not yet scaled, not that it couldn't have been years ago. And that still then runs to 100m with duplex LC.

Meanwhile, Apple wants $70 a pop for a single, 1m Thunderbolt 4 cable, and that's only been increasing. What will Thunderbolt 5 be? Corning and I think one other briefly did optical Thunderbolt cables, but those were $500-1000. Whereas premade quality duplex OM4 with helical steel armor runs more like $2.20/meter.

Feels like we somehow ended up in a yet another technology path dependent evolution path where decisions that saved a bit at the time have then imposed major costs forever more :(. Man it'd be so cool to just be able to run a screen and input boxes hundreds of feet away from a workstation for $60, or have an $8-12 cable be good for decades of evolution in bandwidth barring regular wear (and when it's that cheap who cares even if it breaks after 5 years?), or be able to route displays/TVs and PCIe and whatever else around like any other networking with no compromises. Sigh.
Are you implying that cats have less rights then humans or are you implying that this topic is important?
One of mine plays fetch and it's cute as hell.
Are "humans that walk" and "people that sing" incorrect in some versions of English? I am a foreigner who is relatively good at English, but I do not remember seeing this prescription in textbooks or style guides.

On the other hand, above I just wrote "I am a foreigner that ..." and Grammarly corrected me to "I am a foreigner who ...". I am still leaving this comment here as a reference to others that wonder the same.
I'd take malice over stupidity - because at least it can be anticipated. If you were being charged with a crime you didn't commit, would you prefer that half the jury believe in ghosts and flying saucers - or a smaller fraction just be plotting on you?
Kids too. When swimming, my son loves to get thrown by me. And sometimes also in other throw-safe environments. If people like it, why not cats?
Kind of a Clickbait headline.

It sounds more like 15% of cats realized their humans could be made to entertain them with proper prompting.

My experience with fetching cats is that it is a comforting/boredom relief behavior. They bring me a toy, I throw and they chase it, then bring it back to my general location (they get distracted and drop it easily, most often right before jumping onto the couch). The fact the loop can be repeated a few times before they get bored again and move on is just bonus points.

Can you explain exactly what you’re “all for”? Because of the handful of interpretations of your post, several are downright psychotic.
I agree that language matters. But we also say “the people that..” even if it’s not as grammatically precise as “the people who..”

“Who” is more often identified with individual/identity than sentience. They’re not talking about particular, individual cats.
The US and Europe are very different in terms of actual immigration in terms of population. The US has immigrants from many different nations and cultures that actually are less stratified.
Europe on the other hand has a more homogeneous immigrant population which is the cause for more friction.

All this to say, Europe i headed into a different direction than the US for the reasons stated above.
Contrary to popular HN belief, the human species has curtailed technological development along various lines, internationally.

If you are driving like your life depends on it, you just go "Why is my car beeping at me?" and either don't worry about it, or try and figure out what is flashing on the dash, if you can spare the attention, speaking from experience, while drifting in empty corn fields, the car was beeping at me about a flat tire...

If your car just cuts off after beeping at you for something it has never beeped at you before for, you are likely to just continue straight on ... thus ending up exactly in the situation you say it won't work.
Because they might speak English and another language?
I'm not a developer really, and I'm not part of the team for close to two years already :)
I have no idea what has gone wrong with American appliances, apart from the general crappiness of using a top-loader washing machine in the first place, but I’ve had multiple different washing machines/dryers and dishwashers in the last decade and the efficiency programmes have been getting steadily better and better. Yes, they are European makes, Miele and Bosch, (evenly spread out across eight appliances) but they are fantastic at cleaning and drying. The new Eco 40-60 setting means that you can fill a machine with a whole range of laundry and go away, super helpful.
> Wouldn't it make sense to allow it to decay and spend the money on something more modern?

It wouldn't. The cost to boost Hubble and keep it around is small. About the cost of an ISS resupply, less than $150M.

The cost to build a replacement? Unbounded. JWST was supposed to be completed in ~5 years and cost $1B. It took over 20 years and $10B.

The cost of boosting Hubble won't impact any replacement we might design.
Drunk drivers don't really cost vehicle manufacturers any money right now.

But with technology like this, now the manufacturers are open to lawsuits from false negatives and false positives.

So thinking in terms of lives saved, a correct (albeit cold) computation, isn't really where this ends. Nothing beats the almighty buck!
You can, at least late game

This only works if your environment is bare metal to begin with. In some cases you may be in an environment where a lot of applications are proprietary, virtualized, or otherwise constrained in some other way. It is not an environment where you get to pick and choose how everything is setup. In such a case, having a distinct small application that fits as "an OS" in a virtualized environment can fit a lot better in, than trying to retrofit a baremetal containerized environment into a large enterprise datacenter where everything is already running Windows servers and proprietary services, managed by other people than yourself.

California was almost empty when it was annexed into the US. Disease etc. Immigration from the rest of the English-speaking US completely dwarfed what was left.

Almost 100% of Spanish-speaking Californians have come in the past 50-70 years. Basically none have historical roots to California.
> The spaghetti stack implementation makes continuation type things comfortably implementable and also runtime introspection of program state.

For a long time that spaghetti stack implementation was buggy because I don’t think it was really used. When I was at PARC working on 3-Lisp I wrote an emacs (being no fan of structure editing or the mouse) in Interlisp-D. I chose to make each command binding a closure (so you had all the proper mode context etc). That spaghetti light on the mouse cursor was basically perpetually on and the machine became unusable.

I showed Masinter. It seems like nobody had ever thought of creating thousands of closures before. The bug was eventually fixed but by then I’d chosen a different strategy.
The entirety of the Phoenix project is literally just copying Goldratt's the goal and then doing a s/manufacturing/IT/g and updating the references to modern day.

I'm not saying I don't like it, I've read the book half a dozen times and try and get every team I'm on to read it to help modify their thinking to be more systems focused, but I'm not going to pretend that it much deeper or insightful than the goal.
Love this series
I’d be curious to know what percentage of people in California speak no English at all.
It's a game of 2 halves. Two complimentary perspectives.
Remakes like Let’s Go Pikachu have sold well.
Normally I find Fabien's articles to be a lot clearer, but I came away from this one not understanding what it was really talking about.

Does the monitor have XDR? Does it auto-negotiate extra bandwidth on newer MacBooks?
Quite the opposite. Bringing up terminology is a classic technique for derailing conversations. Instead of arguing about the merit of the proposition, you hint that you'd agree with the proposition if only they'd use different terminology. Which, of course, never happens.
This is the point I am making. Human exceptionalism is built into our language and it is wrongheaded. Anyone who has known a cat will be aware that they are full of personality, very much unlike a box or a Bluetooth speaker.

I agree.

For example, when going for a long hike, you have to stop and rest regularly. Still, you need to keep moving forward to make progress
I frequently abandon carts because I'm comparison shopping. Or, because I realize that I don't really need something and can't justify the expense. AI won't solve that.
openai has a funding round in play and they need all the "attention" they can get. so expect more rumors of "AGI is around the corner"
Same. They had so much technology that could have trivially solved most of their problems - especially the titular one! - and instead they decided to do a weird psyop on a few hundred people four light years away.
The Scrum guide does not capture the culture and ecosystem of scrum that has developed around it. It’s like Node without NPM.
As it happens I know zip. I ported that to linux back in 0.95 days, I think the code was called info-zip in those days. Chatting with its predictor is a fanciful description to say the least.

I've also read the transformers paper mentioned in the tweet.

Of course an LLM is on some level similar to a compression system, and on some level it's also just high and low voltages on some integrated circuits. Saying "just" glorified compression isn't something I'll believe without good arguments, though.
Yes, in all versions of English, actually. But no one will even pick up on it or judge you for it - the rules have grown lax.

Nevertheless, in formal, written English, “who” is the overwhelmingly correct choice. Cf https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=people+who%2Cp...
Neither. I'm stating that, grammatically speaking, "who" refers to humans, and that the title of the post has correct grammar.

Besides, cats objectively have fewer rights because I can own one, for example.

Actually, it's the other way around. I don't think anyone has yet declared their motives to riot, but the perp has been identified as Algerian. It's also true that the rioters probably knew this.
> the most effective propagandists have insisted that propaganda should tell the truth. In his Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes, French sociologist Jacques Ellul observed that propagandists on either side of World War II were as truthful as they could be.

Hamas and pallywood don't even bother. I guess their workbooks say something like "Just show some people that start crying when camera turns to them, or mention children, it will be enough for western useful idiots".
Probably because speaking a language other than English at home doesn’t mean that they don’t speak English at home.
The scary fun part about representative democracy is that all of that can change rapidly, and not necessarily in the direction one would want for any given situation. "Throw the bums out" might scare some politicians into slightly better behavior but most just throw more donor money at the problem and it goes away. If not, often an even worse "bum" ends up taking their place. Of course, with the right model behind them, the bums might find a way to manipulate the public consensus enough to never get thrown out.
My cat did this, but only started after I was gone for three weeks.

The night I got home he was so happy he started bringing me his toys on bed. All of his toys. Eventually various household objects. Finally a wooden spoon to my face! I was so confused I tossed it away, and he played fetch with it ever since(and later other objects sometimes).
For lingual reasons or other reasons?
They're really not notable alternatives. I love F-Droid but its selection is very limited. Good luck finding people who use Amazon Appstore, Huawei AppGallery or any of these other stores.

Let's imagine there's a company called Ticketmuster that had a monopoly on ticket sales. If they tolerate a shitty little kiosk selling a score of tickets a day, does this mean Ticketmuster does not have a monopoly share of the market?
It will be interesting to see what the government can do here. Can they use their powers to get their hands on the most data?

im still skeptical because new techniques are going to give an order of magnitude efficiency boost to transformer models, so 'just waiting' seems like the best approach for now. I dont think they will be able to just skip to the finish line by having the most money.
I should add that the D machines had writable control stores so these language environments (Interlisp-D, SmallTalk, and Cedar/Mesa) each had custom microcode. I wrote some microcode for InterLisp-D back when I was 20.
The problem is, the most widely available G-code interpreter at the hobbyist level/price range lacks variables, loops, or branches --- writing anything in it is tedious to say the least, evoking:

Instincts are such a weird concept. It's incredible how so many specific behaviors can be genetically encoded, to the point they're visible even in animals that are raised in human households. Their parents aren't passing down cultural memes to them, and yet they still know exactly what to do.

It makes me wonder how much instinctual human behavior we're conflating with learned behavior. Since we have language it's easy to assume that we do things because we learned them. But what about a Tarzan situation? How would a human behave if raised in total isolation, or even under the purview of other animals like the legendary Remus and Romulus (at least they had each other)? If the role of cat and human were reversed, what would humans do that the cats found endearing and "just human instinct?"
Your emotional response to the ways things look and feel is a "function" as valid as a button or a slider. Actually, it's more functional in the digital ecosystsm where everything is a symbolic abstraction of light except for your emotional response to their meanings-- it's in fact the only real outcome of the design intent.

So if you see it as a problem and not a strength of modern visual design you are fully clueless, no offense.

"You… go to your closet, and you select… I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.

You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns, and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it?… who showed cerulean military jackets... And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin.

However, that blue represents millions of dollars of countless jobs, and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a pile of 'stuff.'"
Language can be used flexibly, word choice can be used to subtly emphasise an aspect.

I think it's more permissible when it is used to emphasise that the cat as a living being is exercising agency in voluntary behaviour that they enjoy. (1)

e.g. "Cats that shed" or "rocks that crumble" vs "Cats who fetch" and "people who sing".

"Cats that shed" is definitely correct. "Cats who fetch" implies that the cat has agency and choice here, is in a small way "human-like".

I grew up in one of these households. My grandmother didn’t speak English so my dad mandated Hindi be spoken in the household.

I think it was a net positive in my life. I pick up phrases and sounds from new languages pretty easily. I didn’t do great in my English classes in HS but am a pretty good writer now.

From an assimilation pov, I think it’s pretty important to grow up speaking whatever language you do alongside English. I don’t have the data but I know ESL kids have a hard time in early schooling here in California.
I think it is an estimate. Yours is on the extreme low end of things. The GP was using 4K as a standin for touch, smell, taste, pain, hunger, pleasure, etc. Those are a bit more complex than just videos and you can't encode those on a CD.

Regardless, yours still came out to be an order of magnitude higher than what GPT was trained on. So I guess the original argument makes some sense.
