Correct. What we need is intelligence rooted in math, physics, engineering, chemistry, material science (aka great grasp of reality).

Then you can ask it to create designs and optimize them. Ask it to create hypothesis and experiments to validate them.

Human brains are v capable at abstraction and inference but memory and simulation compute is quite limited. AI could really help here.

How can we design better governance strategies?

Analyze all passed laws and find conflicts?

Analyze all court cases and find judges who have rules against the law and explain why? Which laws are ambiguous? Which laws work against the general public and favor certain corporations? Find ROI of corporation donations which led to certain laws, which led to X% rise in their profits.

The really big piece missing from current AI is reality grounded modeling and multi-step compositional planning + execution.
One of the ridiculous elements of the EV culture war is that many planned "bans" of ICE don't actually ban hybrids.

Yet people are melting down in rage because they feel they desperately need to buy an inefficient car in 7 years time, e.g. the recent UK change pushed the ICE ban back 5 years to the same date that the hybrid ban would come in.
I feel the issue here is that Figma has become the standard tool for UI design, it's what everyone uses and everyone knows. Which means there's a potentially huge collective cost if it goes downhill.

Yes, it is. And I say this as someone who explored significantly more than the surface. Even the way you “search” is different, as is the number of results and contrasting opinions you see.
Unless you're a director you will never come even close to $100K of stock vesting in a single event, and directors are not subject to PIPs.

All of that (including how dominant) is in the actual document the CMA published: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6565c3e262180...

Note the regulator phrases the concern, not as "monopoly", but as "substantial lessening of competition (SLC)".

In particular, page 6, item 25:

> We consider that Adobe’s and Figma’s platforms are characterised by network effects. These network effects cause the value of the respective platforms to increase with the number of users. These strengthen Adobe’s position in vector and raster editing software. They also strengthen Figma’s position in product design software. Network effects operate across markets. For example, the value of using Figma’s vector and raster editing offerings is greater the more Figma is used for product design, and vice-versa. Therefore the strength of the Parties’ positions in each of these markets is influenced by their strengths in the others, implying that the Parties exert multi-market competitive pressure on each other across vector editing, raster editing, and product design.

Page 9, item 41:

> The Parties identified more than 45 competitors in vector editing and more than 65 in raster editing. We undertook an assessment to identify the most relevant competitors in each of vector and raster editing software. We considered the extent to which these competitors are referred to in the Parties’ internal documents and in third-party evidence. We consider that very few competitors in vector editing software (Affinity and Corel Draw) and raster editing software (Affinity) provide any meaningful competitive constraint on Adobe’s product development for professional users, and that constraint is weak to moderate at most. This is particularly true for product design and related digital use cases
Now the other issue is capacitors that begin to leak after 30 to 35+ years: I haven't tried yet to "recap" these machines but... "one day".

The SMD caps in the A1200 and Mac Classic will have almost certainly started to leak, and the fluid will eventually corrode traces and vias if it hasn't already. On multilayer PCBs this can make for at best very annoying repairs.

Ironically the older machines like the Atari, TI and C128 are most likely fine. Those older, larger through-hole caps are generally of high quality and don't leak.

Hmm I respectfully disagree :-).

"Blue is the best color" is a preference. I am perfectly entitled to say "Nope, in my view, Red is the best color" without justifying. I just like red better.

I like minimalism, and a CLI tool is always more minimal than a GUI one. Also I like doing stuff with my keyboard, and the CLI is perfect for that. GUI tools usually require a mouse, and that is not ergonomic for me (but ergonomic is personal, again).
Not a huge fan of Figma, but no one deserves Adobe.
I get that, my issue is when the model is coupled with the app, or the app just presumes I don't have it downloaded and doesn't ask me otherwise. This is like basic configuration stuff...

What I suspect is happening is that people are cargo-culting zero-click installations. It seems rather fashionable right now.
Not bad. For those who want to try it, install all prereqs with: choco install fzf bat ripgrep

Is it fair to say that some of the original board members were chosen because they were women and firing Sam, demoting Greg were unanticipated activities of women whose archetype was of a more even-keeled, compassionate character who would value humanity more than a cold, calculating, toxic white male?
PIPs (at least in europe) are a way for company to prove employee was fired because they are incompetent. We tried to help employee X, see the paperwork? But they are not good enough.

Its a system to shield company from local laws and lawsuits.

Its not a sign of cowardliness or incompetence. Its cold calculation and foolproof process, that on scale protects corpo from multi-million settlements

I have only heard secondhand of two cases where pip didnt result in being fired (but cant confirm it, could have been a propaganda stories passed on by gullible)
Generally the compiler will not inline a memcpy if it doesn't know the size it is dealing with.
On your second point, I've seen this in the UK public sector. Because of a commitment to advertise every job that comes up when someone went from temp to permtheir job was re-advertised and they would have to reapply.

Imagine competing against someone who was already doing that exact job and had been doing it well for two years. I had an interview like this (as the person already in-post).

"Can you give an example where you did X"

"Yes, last week - remember you were there and saw me do it."

What a waste of everyone's time.

I dont disagree with his points, but you completely miss the point of my post. People dont need an AI advise to commit crime and kill others. Nonestly humans they're pretty good at it using technology of 1941.

You don't have bunch of cold blood killers going around not just because police is so good and killers are dumb and need AI help. It's because you live in functioning state where society have enough resources so people happy enough to instead go and kill each other in Counter Strike or Fortnite.

I totally agree that AGI could be a dangerous tech, but it's will require autonomity where it can manipulate real world. So far GPT with API access is very far from that point.
Unless your plan is to make money from this, I would suggest just using a permissive license like MIT.

My understanding is that the initial Mini models were made with Peugeot engines, which were underpowered and pretty unreliable. At some point BMW switched Minis over to use a Beemer engine, at which point quality improved dramatically. Mini has been on an upward trend since (as has BMW).

Anecdotally, someone in my family has a Mini with the BMW engine, and it’s been ticking along just fine. Maintenance is expensive though.
Their goal (in my opinion) is to have enough studios to be cranking out one or more games each month for game pass.

With many games taking over 3 years now to make and about 10 of those Activision studios working on just Call of Duty, they have several more studios to go.
No, because the kernel has particular code size and ISA restrictions.

Banning food is common enough practice. You may have heard the story about European eggs being banned in the US because they fall short of the hygienic requirements, while US eggs are banned in Europe because they fall short of the hygienic requirements? The story is true.

Much else too. You can't import "prosciutto di parma" into Italy, it's banned.

Yeah I don't understand why people aren't willing to learn SQL too.

GPT-4 is very much the case of "sufficiently advanced technology".
The point here is that is giving the user detailed knowledge on how to harm others. This is way different than a gun where you are doing the how (aiming and pulling the trigger).

The guy says he wanted to slow down the progress of AI and GPT suggested a detailed assassination plan with named targets and reasons for each of them. That's the problem.
Well, I wrote the video subsystem for RoadRash3D0.

I work at Amazon and you're right that PIPs are not an issue. But having a certain percentage of people that you HAVE to PIP is.

It simply doesn't make any sense. You can have a team of only high performers and your manager will tell you to fire someone, and if you don't do it it will be you.
This would be very cool for simulation programming space, where it can find derivations without too much performance hit with better accuracy.

Esp., where subnormal numbers come into play.
Does someone know what reference size to take for those SMC nanometers?

It may sound irrational to ask this kind of question, but marketing killed the meaning of "nm" a long time ago. As reference, through electron microscope the sizes of Intel 14nm seems equivalent to AMD.TSMC 7nm [1]

I chose the example I have experience with. I don't have experience with other EU countries, so I can't comment on those. I also don't have experience with massive large companies, so maybe this is a problem of scale rather than culture. Although it does seem like smaller American companies have the same problems.

It works well for many companies offshoring to cheaper countries which is still a thing.
> The newer UX "enhancements" seem to be all about maximizing (useless) whitespace and making every widget as spherical as possible.

I have used Firefox my entire life and sometime back they added really stupid whitespace between the address bar on both ends. Every single time I reinstall the browser on a new OS I see it and remove the whitespace. It drives me up a wall. It looks so gimmicky and like a complete waste of a UI that didnt need to be changed.

Sometimes the best UI decision is to leave things as-is, especially if your UI has been plenty standard.
This has been the case with gpt-3.5 vs gpt-3.5-turbo, as well. But isn't it kinda obvious when things get cheaper and faster that there's a smaller model running things with some tricks on top to make it look smarter?
It is literally a task that requires large amounts of super smart, well-educated people to work on for years and fail many times in the process. So we should only be impressed when it can one-shot such insane questions? On the other hand, I expect 2024 to make 2023 look like a slow year for AI and maybe some of the nay sayers will finally feel at least a little bit impressed.
If they did this even once how is that not criminal fraud? Proformance isn’t subjective, if an employee lies and says my proformance is bad that’s a crime.
I don’t think there’s been a point to using `git grep` since ack started parsing gitignore. As far as I’m concerned the use case of `git grep` is to search into non-checked-out trees (by giving it a tree-ish). And it’s not super great at that, because it searches a static tree-ish, so pickaxe filters are generally more useful (though they’re slow).

Once again mercurial has/had more useful defaults, `hg grep` searches through the history by default, that’s it’s job.
But the point is, would a similar employee who made a good faith effort be able to graduate out of the PIP? If you give an employee guardrails for success and they flounder anyways, then it seems the employee was not a good fit for the role. It says more about the employee than the process.
> distributed E2E messaging system

The thing is, customers don't necessarily want a distributed messaging system, they might be perfectly fine with a decentralized one if it supports E2EE. Matrix went the way they did and it's far from obvious whether it was a good choice. I'm leaning towards no.

> but someone's done it three times

You can do it however times you want and it will be easy to do if you have access to one of the few domain experts of the protocol. It can be considered easy to implement once someone else successfully implements it and continues to support it for a significant period of time. Rewriting one thing three times inside a single org is not something of interest.

> Blockchains are Merkle trees

This is getting offtopic, but anyway. Blockchains are DAGs, they are not necessarily trees. The canonical chain and candidate blocks have only one genesis block, and non-genesis blocks could have multiple parents (e.g. one main parent and orphaned uncles), which by traverse still converge to the same genesis block.

Although Merkle trees are used in the underlying block data structure, this is orthogonal to the blockchain concept and any data structure could be stored there.

> MLS

Unless I'm missing something about MLS, you're mixing unrelated stuff here.
Phind is an example where they use their own model and it is pretty good at it’s specialty. OpenAI is hard to beat “in general” and especially if you don’t want to fine tune etc.
Wouldn't the sensible default be to use 80% of available VRAM, or total VRAM minus 2GB, or something along those lines. Something that's a tad conservative but works for 99% of cases, with tuning options for those who want to fly closer to the sun.

You can look at the history of PyObject yourself: https://github.com/python/cpython/commits/main/Include/objec.... None of these changes were done because of weird CPU errata that meant that making the header bigger was a performance win. That isn't to say that the developers wouldn't be interested in such effects, or be able to detect them, but the fact that the object header happens to be large enough to avoid the performance bug isn't because of careful testing but because that's what they ended up for other reasons, far before Zen 3 was ever released. If it so happened that Python was affected because the offset needed to avoid a penalty was 0x50 or something then I am sure they would take it up with AMD rather than being content to increase the size of their header for no reason.
Infact I would recommend a step further to integrate rip-grep-all (rga) with fzf that can do a fuzzy search not just on text files but on all types of files including pdfs, zip files. More details here [1]

Everyone is still left guessing what have happened.

At least my speculative view (rewritten by chatgpt ofc):

There's speculation that OpenAI's newly developed Q* algorithm marks a substantial advancement over earlier models, demonstrating capabilities like solving graduate-level mathematics. This led to discussions about whether it should be classified as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a designation that could have significant repercussions, such as potentially limiting Microsoft's access to the model. The board's accusation of "not consistently candid" against Sam Altman is thought to be connected to efforts to avoid this AGI classification for the model. While the Q* algorithm is acknowledged as highly advanced and impressive, it's believed that there's still a considerable journey ahead towards reaching a true singularity event. The complexity of defining AGI status in AI should be noted. At what point of advancement can a model be labeled as an AGI? We are way past simple measures like the Turing Test. Arguments from both perspectives have their merits.
Give people excess money and they'll always spend it in the stupidest way possible, such as on impractical new cars, clothes having a specific combination of letters on them (such as e.g. "B,a,l,e,n,c,i,a,g,a") or houses they can't afford just to show off.
I believe numpy introduced ndarrays with user-specified strides, that made this a O(1) operation.
Even if not, it certainly predates pytorch in this regard. Pytorch (and other tensor libraries) just used the ndarray concept from numpy.
That literally sounds like my worst nightmare on multiple levels; but I’m glad it works for you.
What are we not talking about 996 culture. Personally I feel like I'd rather jump off a bridge than work in toxic environments.
How do you “buy solar farms”? Don’t you have to maintain them? From your comment makes it sound like it’s not a job in itself.
The fun fact around this is that, whatever number you believe, each paying user is worth something north of 50-100k to Adobe. Figma has 4 million active users, maybe 5% signed up for a paid plan, will make 100k for each user at the acquisition price.
Nothing has to be pushed to the server. Computer vision like edge recognition is done solely on the client. Client dont have to fast and can be very slow. What takes the most the computer power is the compression of the video stream. This is also done on the client side.

for that you also do not need convolutional networks or object recognition or ML, nor pretrained models. Its pure "Do pixel x change within time t, set pixel y = 1. If no change in x, then y = y-z, with z as a factor. If y < threshold, apply blur"

This has probably already been said, but places that mandate that X% of people need to be put on performance improvement plans are not great. This can force managers (or HR, depends on who decides the PIP) to put otherwise good engineers or staff on PIP when they are perfectly fine employees - they may not be 10x, perfect, and can just be doing what they need to do to do their jobs, but they still aren't doing anything wrong and end up on a PIP because the company is forcing them to put atleast some percentage of people on it each year
Have you done any show & tells for the hardware? I miss working in Blackfoot and going to those, back when all of AWS was there. Always fun looking at S3 and EBS chassis!
It's also the third step of DARVO:

> DARVO (an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as sexual offenders may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. Some researchers indicate that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO
But there are duplicates. There are a vast number of cases where a domain name under one TLD isn't held by the same person/company who holds the same domain name under another TLD.
Just an example, DARTs and IOMMUs help close down that line of attack but there are still many proprietary and inscrutable blobs/peripherals/monitors that alter the behavior of modern computers which are almost impossible to avoid in general.
Sketch used to be the first choice for app developers. However, it has always been macOS only and their collaboration tools were lacking for a long time. Don’t know about current differences though.
I switched from from ripgrep to ugrep and never looked back. It's just as fast, but also comes with fuzzy matching (which is super useful), a TUI (useful for code reviews), and can also search in PDFs, archives, etc.

The optional Google search syntax also very convenient.

How Amazon's behavior here, clearly mandated as official corporate policy, is not an instant class action lawsuit demonstrates how far we are in our "late stage capitalism" and economic slaves, not free, not by half.
Complexity and cost are just two of the things that inhibit these attacks.

Three letter agencies knowing who's buying a suspicious quantity from the list of known precursors, that stops quite a lot of the others.

AI in general reduces cost and complexity, that's kind of the point of having it. (For example, a chemistry degree is expensive in both time and money). Right now using an LLM[0] to decide what to get and how to use it is almost certainly more dangerous for the user than anyone else — but this is a moving goal, and the question there has to be "how to we delay this capability for as long as possible, and at the same time how do we prepare to defend against the capability when it does arrive?"
