This looks like raw material for quotes that would be sprinkled throughout a normal piece of journalism.

Why was this person talking to BI (instead of, say, the NYT or a major metro area news org)? And why did BI publish this sometimes unclear monologue, rather than do more journalism?

(Did BI not want to allocate resources to do a proper piece? Did the source talk to multiple news outlets, and BI wanted to be the first to publish anything at all from it? Did the source insist that BI do this as a condition, and BI didn't tell them to take a hike?)
Firefox knows where all its windows are, of course, but that’s not the potential issue being raised. The problem is allowing untrusted javascript access to that info. Luckily, Firefox doesn’t do that, it only allows you (JavaScript author) window information for the windows you’ve directly opened in code.

ChatGPT is outright ripping straight from copyrighted works.

If I had to guess, Q* would involve solving problems quantum-style, by breaking them down along dimensions (not step-by-step!!), then solving the subtasks in parallel and recombining.

Basically, most of the LLM intelligence is at the word-to-word selection level, so friction needs to be created there instead of at the task or question level.
Weird Al does not do covers. His albums are a mixture of parodies and fully original pieces. The parodies often use the same melody as the source work, but with original lyrics. Sometimes the music is itself parodied, and performed using an accordian or some other unique instrument.

In terms of creativity, artistic vision, lyrical difficulty or any other metric, Weird Al should be understood as an incredibly talented musician.
This is the most important comment in the thread. Humans want to connect with other humans. You can pump out all of the perfectly-rendered perfectly-customized & personalized fully-immersive metaverse simulation but at the end of the day, we bags of meat and gas will still want to sit around a fire and tell ghost stories.

The market for 'fully tech driven' content exists, sure, but it'll always just be that.
Would you consider a Dodge Ram 3500 large? Then yes. Although not via Dodge but smaller companies importing them. Not sure if that can circumvent the EU laws somehow.
I don't know. It's like Frankenstein's monster reading The Sorrows of Young Werther. He could somewhat understand what the words meant, but he couldn't ever feel what was being described. Even if the monster could write about human feelings, it would be just as an observer, a reader, repeating and copying.
The problem isn't so much "reading" (i.e., training on or ingesting) the copyrighted content, it is writing it out again.

Artists, writers, and coders are rightly angered when I can simply say "make a painting of XYZ in the style of Foo", and have a painting rendered that is nearly an exact copy of an item in the training set. Similar analogy for writing or code.

I see now that when trying to specify an image of an impossible object with ChatGPT4+DALL-E, it will balk if I say "like an Escher object". I have to be more verbose, and it will not render his signature style.

As long as particular artistic or writing or coding styles aren't specify-able and generate-able, this seems like a reasonable fair use solution, and does not require us to suddenly become copyright maximalists. (Without such prohibitions on generation of similar works, we must become copyright maximalists.)
If the pot size stays the same, you are just shuffling around between artists. So artists who are listened to by people who only listen to a bit of music benefit, and those listened to by people who listen to a lot of music get less.

I guess there are two groups of people who listen to a lot of music:

1) young people

2) people who like music a lot.

So bad news for Taylor Swift AND obscure bands only interesting to enthusiasts. Not sure that's better overall. I would prefer a system that is regressive, that pays more for the first 1k listens than the last 1k - but that's definitely not fair :)

I think your last bullet point is the one that sticks for me the most. If I only listen to independent death metal then why is my money going to Taylor Swift or Joe Rogan or whoever.
Spotify has never reported an annual profit in its entire existence.

If they were just deciding their cut "arbitrarily" they are doing a bad job of it.

The reality is labels have all the leverage and extract all of the profits because they have a monopoly on talent and content
> I'm not sure if you're American but take a look at the food situation here. Eating out practically anywhere is total garbage food.

I'm not sure how old you are but when I was growing up in America in the 70's, eating out meant either high-end/pricey restaurants or MacDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, or Taco Bell. Now you can get Thai, Sushi, Indian, Sichuan, and more.

Seeing megamillionaires complain that the common man only has to pay $10/month to listen to their music is getting pretty old.
Hm, my own intuition is that it'll raise the baseline experience but then cause hyper-competition by human creators to exploit its powers to the limits while infusing further human creativity on top of what is mechanistically produced.

I do not think this will result in overall mediocrity. It'll lift those with no access to art or way to pay for human creativity away from absolute poverty, while allowing those that already had access to these things a more competitive market.
I think this is the reality that plays out longer term.

Large orgs and high level execs are seeing an opportunity to produce cheaper, lower quality product more quickly.

These same orgs seem largely blind to the fact that while they are working to make their staff redundant to surge profits, those same staff have been massively empowered with leverage that would allow them to build competing products that would be more competitive.

Work at an org as a backend engineer? Know enough domain to build a competing product, but have no design or frontend knowledge? AI to the rescue.

In tech the biggest threats to large orgs has always been small teams with drive and vision, those teams can be smaller now and likely made up of former employees.
no - because the range of responses in the generalized model will tend in some asymptotic way to "patterns the machinery recognizes" . Real knowledge is not like a machine process, in every instance. Any detective novel has a moment when a faint scent or a distant sighting connects very different inputs to aid in solving a mystery. Lastly, knowledge has resonance and harmonics; great Truths are paradox. Your bitter lesson is convenient at this time of evolution with computing, not The Answer.
The difference is that your streaming actually has an impact on payouts. If you listen to 10 hours of an obscure genre with small and up and coming artists, they will currently micropennies, since your streams are dwarfed by the kid that listened to 150hrs of Taylor Swift a month.

It’s stacked against indie artists, towards large artists that get the vast majority of plays (and who probably have record deals ensuring that the labels get their blood)
Coming from i3wm on Linux, I cannot use macOS without yabai. So glad that this exists!
According to the data I’ve looked at from Spotify, the big 3 labels are about 63% of their music, Merlin (which includes some actual small labels but also things like distrokid) is about 15%, and then there’s the rest. So the majority is the majors, but the other artists certainly could negotiate collaboratively if they wanted to.
In my personal experience, tiling window managers only work when you have a lot of screen real estate. I tried using yabai on a 13 inch m2 air, but I ended up going back to my normal workflow of just alt tabbing between windows. Most apps don’t let you see enough content when they are tiled (because of gui elements such as sidebar etc). I do love the “focus on hover” feature of yabai though. I wish macOS had that natively.
It used to be the other way around. The bulk of income was from album sales, and touring was considered advertisement for the album sales. Many tours had to basically sell out completely before they would turn a profit. Arena tickets were $20 and significantly less for smaller venues.

Not surprisingly, the reason it was this way is because the label got most of the profit from the albums and the artists got most of the profit from touring. And since the labels were in control, they optimized for album sales. They loved it when a tour lost money, because then the artist owed them money.

I believe it was the 90s when tours started becoming more profitable than albums.
This may be true in the US. But in many other countries an esig solution means "I verified the person who signed this documents is who they say they are" and that means "they got a verification code by email or sms".

It's largely driven by the investors. People in their early 20's are maybe 25% less likely to have a successful startup, but 50% more likely to give away equity.

I came across ugrep recently and I immediately recognized the organization as one that I had dealt with starting about 15 years go. The author is brilliant‡, but extremely prickly (sometimes even to paying customers). The author of ripgrep, on the other hand, has always seemed like someone who just wants to get on with the business of writing software that people use.

‡ The main commercial product of the ugrep author's company at the time was the gSOAP code generator (it may still be), and that it not only works but makes a reasonably good C and C++ API from WSDL is proof that it is the product of a genius madman. It also allowed you to create both the API and WSDL from a C++-ish header, and both .NET and Java WSDL tools worked perfectly with it. We needed it to work and work it did.

At the time, the generated API was just difficult enough to use that I generated another ~1k lines of code for that project. IIRC, the generated API is sort of handle-based, which requires a slightly different approach than the strict RAII approach we were using. Generating that code was a minor adventure (generating the gSOAP code from the header-ish file, generating doxygen XML from the generated gSOAP code, then generating the wrapper C++ from the doxygen XML).
Love this, good idea!
It seems more likely that there will be multiple avenues to AGI, all with their strengths and weaknesses. But perhaps the "God AI" will be a multifaceted model composed of many different models acting in unison.

No it doesn't. Efficiency unlocks bandwidth for us to explore on higher levels and new directions, and it always has. Efficiency of energy production, manufacturing, transportation, information sharing etc – you cannot seriously believe that these did not spark new waves of innovation and creativity.
For eGMP cars the temperature makes a lot of difference.

I regularly hit the advertised 18 minutes/230kW charging when it’s >20C outside, but in colder weather it’s stuck at 80kW until it the battery heats up.
Cars should look the same, in fact id be ok if there were only a handful to choose from, like a small passenger car, a larger van, and then a truck and that's it.
I personally enjoy the number of times Amazon's PR has to call out the tens of thousands of complaints from tech and non-tech employees as "not representative of the experience of the vast majority of our employees."

The other employees are too scared to speak up, else lose their job. Or, they are sociopaths.
Yes, this is because Hollywood - like tech – is a subset of business, which optimizes for profits over creativity.

Which is why, as a creative, I'm not super-worried about AI destroying creativity. It might actually help democratize much of the tools one needs to make a movie or a book, but at the end of the day creative consumption is a human-to-human demand.

Don't think the word 'subsidized' is being used correctly here.

Nobody is paying Costco a 'subsidy' to produce cheap croissants.

The big box stores incentivize the supply chain to do things faster/cheaper. Cheaper ingredients, shorter baking times (hence maybe some other additives needed), etc...

So, cheaper butter, oil additives, cheaper flour, additives to streamline short cooking times, easy movement, texture for packaging, etc..

It all adds ups to "it's ok, but meh".
Yabai, and chunkwm before it, and kwm before that, are probably the most important pieces of software that fundamentally changed how I interact with computers.

I moved over from macOS to Windows and WSL full time back in 2020 and eventually ended up writing my own tiling window manager for Windows, which I never would have done had I not had the experience of using yabai on macOS.

I don't think it's a exaggeration to say that my experience with this one piece of software completely changed my trajectory as a software developer for the better.
There is something oddly nostalgic about foreign policy pre-smartphone.

No, we haven’t decided that inception is synonymous with recursion, but even if we had, lots and lots of words have always had multiple meanings, and meanings that come and go, and meanings that change over time. Language is fluid and is defined by its usage and not by static prescription, which is one of the fun aspects of language. Embrace it and enjoy the ride! ;)

I haven't had the same experience with Yabai. I've been using it happily and without issue since April, and I don't think I've had to restart it once.

Before Yabai I was using Amethyst, but like your experience with Yabai, I felt like it would suddenly stop working and needed to be restarted. Maybe your experience would be flipped.

> It was introduced because it was, on the whole, beneficial to society.

How do you know?

It was introduced; people have mostly not made the argument that it was beneficial to society.

You could argue that the fact that it was introduced shows that it was beneficial to society, but that theory has problems with laws that are repealed. Prohibition was introduced for the same reason, that it was beneficial to society. And it was repealed because that was beneficial to society too. Is that... true?

No memory maps. No multi-threading. No filtering. No fancy regex engine features or reducing expressiveness. No locales. No UTF-8. No UTF-16. Just a simple literal and a simple alternation of literals. It's just better algorithms.

Also, you can disable ripgrep's opinions with `-uuu`. It's not designed to just be for code searching. You can use it for normal grepping too. It will even automatically revert to the standard grep line format in shell pipelines.
I've certainly run into my problems with Yabai and have had to work through different versions to solve problems. It's certainly not perfect still but I've found a pretty stable workflow for me. I would certainly recommend turning off anything that's not nessiary like window borders. After that you'll need special configuration for a couple problematic apps (Chrome for me), and lastly some custom behavior using the events to get the exact behavior I want. I have had to debug and look at logs to figure out my problems..
> One underlying problem with these PIP type programs at FAANG seems to be that they have very high barriers to entry in the interview process, and then act like 30% of the company is underperforming and subject to an annual 6% cull.

FWIW, when I was a manager at a FAANG, the numbers were closer to:

Underperforming: ~12%
Meeting or Exceeding: ~80%
Better than exceeding: ~8%

As for my own anecdata, for the roughly 100 person cohort where I was part of performance management, there would be 1-3 people each cycle that were in the "cull" bracket. That said, people with a couple consecutive cycles of not meeting expectations were likely to be put on a PIP. I managed 4 people in that group, and all were able to successfully exit the PIP.

All that said, every company and even org within a company have their own goals, targets, processes, and flows, and my experience was pre-COVID, so I'm also sure that any needle movement has been in the direction of harsher evaluations.

Sure, but it's not all to keep. He is a business (or his label is). He has personnel expenses, production expenses, studio expenses, expenses, etc.. If he keeps 1/4 of that $350k, he's doing well. Multiply by a small number, maybe 3 or 4, to account for his other income streams.

He's a pretty well-known artist, one of the top X. He ought to be making a good living, and maybe he is - but I doubt he's getting rich.

The Fourth Amendment protects the physical, yet other amendments also address privacy in different ways. The First Amendment protects the mind and arguably one's spirit, the Third Amendment is a specific type of physical protection, the Fifth Amendment also protects the mind, the Ninth Amendment protects the existence of privacy, and the Tenth Amendment lets states implement greater privacy protections as they see fit.

Given privacy is fundamentally related to the expression of free will, it's not surprising so much touches it.
