I strongly disagree, I believe that it's likely someone who has never ever programmed would be able to solve multiple advent of code tasks using GPT-[x] models and some copy/pasting and retries, and I'm 100% convinced that a poor programmer (i.e. not "pretty good at programming" but has some knowledge) can do so.

Ilya Sutskever hints at Q* on March interview
What’s after generative models?

Dwarkesh Patel

Yeah, fair enough. What's after generative models? Before, you were working on reinforcement learning. Is this basically it? Is this the paradigm that gets us to AGI? Or is there something after this?

Ilya Sutskever

I think this paradigm is gonna go really, really far and I would not underestimate it. It's quite likely that this exact paradigm is not quite going to be the AGI form factor. I hesitate to say precisely what the next paradigm will be but it will probably involve integration of all the different ideas that came in the past.

Dwarkesh Patel

Is there some specific one you're referring to?

Ilya Sutskever

It's hard to be specific.
The front of the Cybertruck is actually fairly rounded and has a fairly normal bumper (and I would assume crumple zone) just like any other Tesla. I don't think the front of the Cybertruck is any worse than any other truck or SUV as far as a collisions go. The ride height is a non-issue, the Cybertruck has air suspension, so while it can have as much as 14" of clearance for off-road for day to day driving it is much lower than that, which is, I assume, how Tesla is going to eke out decent range numbers with it. That leaves the back of the Cybertruck, which is indeed full of sharp angles, but mostly up high. It does have a rear bumper that looks functional but it is hard not to think that the sharp angles on the back wouldn't do some serious damage if rear-ended or someone where to back into a pedestrian. It's a case where hopefully the NHTSA did their due diligence.

> Any amount of overhang is too much. It makes the edge of the container look bumpy and messy

Quite the opposite. When you look at most fonts in detail, the topmost parts of e.g. AEO will differ slightly; this is because visually, the pointed top of the A has much less 'mass' than the flat bar that is the top of E; the O will be higher than the top of the E bar as well. The same applies to the left and right edges; it's not a matter of taste, it's physiological. In so far a truly 'optical margin' or whatever Adobe chose to call it would have to take into account the shape of each singly glyph, not only punctuation. Quotes are only always mentioned because they're the most obvious application; full stops, commas, hyphens—all of these dittels have a minimum of 'flesh' and should therefore be pushed further than, say, an X or an M.

But I agree that putting a double quote 100% outside the left margin is a bit too much of a good thing; my guess is that it should be more like 50% or somesuch to avoid the "bumpy and messy"ness that you rightly dislike.
The simple solutions is to require postnord to return them to the manufacturer, or let Tesla come in with the police and get them.

If you have my property, refuse to hand it over, it is common for courts to allow repossession.

IF an autoshop has your car, they can boycott working on it, but they cant stop you from getting it. If they try, you can get a court order, go with the police, and pick it up.

> English isn't my first language but "but explodes seconds later" implies to me the fact it reached space doesn't actually matter and the whole thing is a failure.

I don't think that is the case at all. The word 'however' could have been used just as well here.

"We ran a good race, but finished second". The 'but' does not imply a negation of all success, but instead a lack of achievement of all successes.

I speak French, it's effectively the same. "We went for 100%, but in the end got 90%". "On voulais 100%, mais a la fin on a gagne 90%". Presumably the end goal of the space ship was not to explode in space, but to also return as well.

It all comes down to an expectation that the rocket was to do more. If said with a simple "and", it's unclear whether that was the end goal or not. I suspect you're perhaps reading mal-intent where there is really none.

When you make a transaction on the Monero network, only the actual sender and recipient know the sender, recipient, or value of the transaction. This makes tumblers unnecessary and removes that whole ethical burden. If your Monero is ethically sourced (i.e. you mined it or bought it with your own money) then you can safely spend it without being subject to any tracking.

It is insane how secretive OpenAI are being in general. Meta just open sourced their planning AI, how hard is it to talk about work in progress on planning and LLMs combined with each other? Especially when that's the purpose of your non profit.
I do find this more exciting. I lazily clicked on the link expecting to see another crackpot idea that goes nowhere and costs a lot. Instead, this is a very reasonable idea with real and immediate potential. Neutrons coming from fusion reactions are much more energetic than those from fission (about 7 times), which means more isotopes can be generated. Sure, this will be an energy hog, but the isotopes save lives. A big cheer.
Apparently China has now reached a level of renewables buildout where they are deploying new power generation faster than industry can consume it. Estimates indicate they will enter a structural emissions decline as soon as next year [1]. And their rate of construction is accelerating. I'd add that the rest of the world will probably catch up, but honestly China is most of the ballgame.

> we must praise and promote the marginalized and oppressed,

I have to wonder why this is a bad thing?

To be a bit pedantic, the use of the words "praise and promote" is a bit... loaded, isn't it? This really seems like a simplification of civil rights movements. To be a bit more pedantic, "must" is a pretty strong word. Why "must" we praise the marginalized?

> finds that "doing AI" is not a stable enough differentiator to compel him as a VC

This is a better thesis than the article's. Uber for X / AI for Y is not a valid pitch.

But the article goes further. It surmises the only two valid moats are a capital advantage (compute) or intellectual property (data). These are the most trivially-verifiable moats for a third party. Which makes sense for a VC to prioritise them. But they're far from the dominant mode of differentiation.

Plenty of "AI" start-ups will do well because they found a niche, had the right team to sell to it, and developed quickly enough to keep customers hooked. They won't win because of AI per se. But they won't lose for lack of access to more compute or special data either.
clickbait title, suggest adding "to treat cancer"
Of course it would be best to just ban AI. But there's no way to enforce it. An announcement of a ban using strong language will just trigger a certain kind of people to demonstrate how little they feel that the rules apply to them. This wording here at least might lead to some introspection.
Then you probably shouldn't buy a house where the biggest selling point is that it's directly connected to a runway.
When you say "doing it" you could be referring to the Advent of Code or cheating with AI. Both are true.

> Are you really saying that no optimizations are allowed once the compiler notices UB?

My statement is specific to how data is shared across multiple threads and does not generalize to any other situation, such as the one you presented. When threads are in play a compiler typically cannot know if there is UB or not (since the access is often done across different translations units).

Depending on the numbers involved, previous generation hardware can waterfall to infrastructure apps that are throughput based.

Things accessed through network APIs and billed per op or in aggregate. Distributed file systems, databases, even build and regression suite systems.

Another key point is that older generations of servers for full custom cloud environments tend to co-evolve with their environments. The amount of power and cooling for a rack may not support a modern deployment.

Especially if a generation lasts 6 years. You might be able to cascade gen N+1 to N, but N+6 may require a full retrofit. A 6 year old data center that is partially filled as individual servers fail may justify waiting for N+7 or even 8 to cover the cost of the downtime and retrofit.

There is a reason Google announced that they are depreciating servers over 6 years and Meta is at 5 years, vs the old accounting standard of 3 years.

Then of course there is a secondary market for memory and standard PCI cards, but the market for 6 year old tech is mainly spares, so it is unlikely to absorb the full size of the N-6 year data center build.

If you are considering a refurb style resale market for 6 year old tech, it is often the case that the performance per dollar is a non-starter because of the amount of power the older tech consumes.
No. The competitors scrapers are banned. Only the big ones are let through.

I can apply the same argument as you. "If the almighty invisible hand was allowed to compete in the search space competitors would pop up with their own indexers".
It's a trendy narrative.

The argument goes like this, summarized: if ancestor simulations are possible then there are more ancestor simulations than real worlds. Therefore it is highly likely you're in an ancestor simulation.

First, we forget the importance of the word "ancestor". Dive into the details if you like, but suffice to say this word was not included in the initial argument for no reason. Second, it is unfalsifiable by definition. Third, it is inconsequential unless it is detectable. Finally, and this is a subjective claim, it would appear that something much more interesting is going on with regard to this whole existence thing than something as small minded as an ancestor simulation.

This is a great and very insightful comment, but I find it funny how all your concerns also apply to the challenges many face with care of humans of all sizes (including themselves and their kids).

A lot of people try to get by on one brief walk in the evening to offset 8 hours of abstract/alien and sedentary desk work, while minimizing core human tasks like handling food or physically building things, and then puzzle over why they're so depressed, reactive, or otherwise neurotic. What you saw in your dogs lives is exactly what many people would do well to see in their own.
I don't hate Go, I'm just disappointed in it. Decades of programming language research to draw from, and the best they could manage was a warmed over C++?

> Of course, as anyone who watches enough YouTube knows content creators double-dip on commercial platforms by including sponsorships and getting a cut of AdSense - so there is still a major advantage to also publishing on YouTube.

Maybe add for the time being. I mean yes sure some creators double dip - they probably need the money. For the moment YouTube might allow that, but them being the platform, they might change the rules any time. It your viewers aren't yours, and the ads aren't either, you're not in a great position to profit from distribution ofyour content.

Ask HN: What are some interesting/useful things that you purchased this year?
No? I mean, in the sense that it's a dense urban area, sure, but nobody is really walking from Noe to Soma or whatever just for a meal? Basically every restaurant in San Francisco is, in Chicago terms, in everybody's delivery radius. You can walk to some places, but not all of the places.

Also: Manhattanites basically kicked this whole Internet restaurant delivery thing off with Seamless. Sometimes people just don't want to go out.

Interesting hill analogy—I do broadly agree with the areas.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but replacing ‘AI’ with ‘algorithms’ seems a bit suspect (not least because one is a subset of the other). It seems unlikely anyone would have imagined even twenty years ago that there wasn’t room for a multitude of startups developing their own algorithms, because even today that’s the case.

Current ‘AI’ itself virtually is (built on) a single example of an an algorithm, which is why on the surface there seems to be far less scope for differentiation. There’s room for genuinely new architectures and techniques, but that’s not what most of these ‘AI startups’ are offering (even if they pretend otherwise).

Arguably they already figured out how to lecture us: "We can't scale back extraction so we might as well go for geo-engineering." Though they are probably still working out how to balance scare tactics with learned helplessness.
Distribution is a defendable moat however. Even for investors.

Once you have a few thousand users giving you cold hard cash to use your service, you also have access to way _way_ better product development and marketing information. Not to mention a lot of data you can use to fine-tune your AI in ways that a competitor starting from scratch couldn't dream to replicate.

This is a big part of why you see all these BigTech companies adding AI features. Their existing user-base is the moat.
> I wonder what these "fast-twitch" sanity checks / circuit breakers look like. Whenever I try to model risk, things get complicated quickly -- but presumably simple heuristics must exist if they became universal in the industry.

You're right, they are very simple. Think things like orders per second, quantity of order, price of order, notional ordered over time, etc. You basically want to ensure things aren't "too big" or "too fast" as simply as possible.

Other types of risk (portfolio risk, greek risk, etc.) are handled in different ways, upstream of these final checks.

Thanks to Zigbee being a standard, you can use a Zigbee hub/adapter from any vendor you like. The Zigbee sensors themselves have no network connection and therefore noway to warrant privacy concerns really. There is no WiFi/Ethernet or internet involved with anything Xiaomi here.

I would take Zigbee home automation devices over crappy wifi ones any day of the week - its a vastly better protocol/methodology for hooking these sorts of devices up. Your home's lights functioning properly ideally should not depend on bulbs/switches being able to get an IP address etc (sigh)...
