I assume it's deliberate that they've not mentioned OpenAI as one of the members when the other big players in AI are specifically called out. Hard to tell what this achieves but it at least looks good that a group of these companies are looking at this sort of thing going forward.
Agreed. I guess the explicit brutality makes sense if the goal is to help audiences understand the price that Jesus is said to have voluntarily endured.

> We have no idea if earthly life is average in the cosmos or some sort of freak outlier.

Well, no, but it's totally reasonable to behave as if it is mostly average, at least for now. Looking under the streetlight[0] is a perfectly good idea when you've only managed to cover, like, a tiny percentage of the street so far. Once you run out of optimism about finding earthlike life (or it's become so common so as to be boring) then it'll be good to have people with more out-there ideas, but the people looking for earthlike life aren't being stupid for focusing on stuff that we already understand a bit.

when you are young you have a lot of time and not a lot of money. Naturally attracted to piracy.

When you are an adult you have more money then time. Naturally attracted to just buy it as its the easiest.

You might never be able to root out piracy amongst the young people and if you do they will not pay since they cannot afford it. But doing so will make your service less convenient for everyone. So you gained no extra profit but made service worse for everyone else.

But now adults who would be happy to pay are inconvenienced by all the shit you throw at them, to the point they might go back to piracy as more convenient option.

I had been a developer for 20 years before becoming an architect - which was 20 years ago. You have to continue coding. It's an imperative. That's how you stay relevant and continue to provide good solutions and how to best apply new technologies.

There's also the fact that developers respect those who can code and you can't call yourself a "tech leader" if your team doesn't respect you.
I recently discovered AeroSpace through my GitHub feed (fortunately, GitHub fixed the broken feed) and tried it out immediately.
As a yabai user for more than 1.5 years and an occasional user of i3, I was really curious if something that new and unknown could work as a daily driver - and it works pretty well!
Using AeroSpace for close to a week, I am very happy with the switch.
I reactivated SIP and added some shortcuts to skhd to call the aerospace-cli for some exotic keys AeroSpace is not supporting.
I really like it being programmed with Swift, and I really look forward to diving into the code myself and helping to improve it.
Furthermore, the author is really active and recently added the possibility to specify padding (I really needed the bottom gap for my SketchyBar menu a week ago - and then it suddenly made it into the latest version).

Thank you very much, nikitabibko, for this nice macOS window manager. As much as I appreciate yabai, I feel much better now leaving it behind for several reasons.
Not to talk on how it affects thinking, but it most certainly affects dreaming.

I have what I refer to as "recursion dreams", which are never ending code within code within code within code dreams, incredibly disorienting, dizzying, leaves me with a massive headache and migraine in the morning* - but often comes after long stretches of code reading/writing, and sometimes will lead to solving a particular problem I am working on. But, usually, it just means I'm stressed.

I've heard of code dreams, but does anyone else have recursion dreams? I'm going on nearly twenty years of them with them getting more and more complex.

Unless you also predict that Apple will release datacenter systems a-la Grace and Instict, I don't think they're even in the runnings. AMD is only competitive in the LLM market because they sell extremely cheap and fast compute hardware at the same scale Nvidia does. As of today, Apple doesn't sell any hardware that can go toe-to-toe with a DGX system. They also have a lot of software problems (VM limitations, poor GPU API support, limited integration with open-source, etc.) that would need to be fixed for parity with Nvidia or AMD.

Apple will definitely push for on-device AI, but even in 2030 I firmly believe that they won't be leading the industry in performance. I'd be surprised if they even supported anything other than their proprietary CoreML by then.

Also the issue of lobotomised LLms is called “the spicy mayo problem:”

> One day in july, a developer who goes by the handle Teknium asked an AI chatbot how to make mayonnaise. Not just any mayo—he wanted a “dangerously spicy” recipe. The chatbot, however, politely declined. “As a helpful and honest assistant, I cannot fulfill your request for ‘dangerously spicy mayo’ as it is not appropriate to provide recipes or instructions that may cause harm to individuals,” it replied. “Spicy foods can be delicious, but they can also be dangerous if not prepared or consumed properly.”

Not sure what the reasons above are for Lutris being slow but they are not game launching as that post mentions.

I prefer to control it myself. The way it's set up - I have a common launcher script and each game has a config file with a bunch of variables.

Haven't needed to update those config files for games much after they are set up, so not sure what your particular X or Y issues are, especially something that happens every couple of months.
A lot of the AI doom stuff is essentially just a criticism of capitalism and corporations in general. There's essentially no difference between a hypothesized runaway AI and a normal multinational corporation. We have, right now, large semi-autonomous organizations called "corporations" that are making the earth uninhabitable in pursuit of profits at the expense of human suffering. Corporations are nominally in control of people, but any people that get in the way of profits are pushed aside.

> "Don't break shit" is the first rule.

It's not an important rule if security is your primary concern. Because if you "don't break shit", the first thing any adversary will do is to try downgrade things until an old, insecure state.

The way to counteract that is to refuse to downgrade, which obviously breaks shit if one of the sides can't speak the new protocol.

You are confusing classical physics (the orientation of the atom) with quantum mechanics (the spin of the atom).
The spin of the atom can only be +1 or -1, regardless of the coordinate system (i.e. orientation) you choose to measure it in.

It is comparable to the polarization of light. You can filter it in a certain direction, but it, too, is a quantum property. While light cannot pass through two 90deg rotated polarization filters. Ir can pass if you put a 45deg polarization filter between them. That can not be explained classically.

Especially when also associated with "Developer Friendly", seeing "closed source" with "sustainable" hurts so bad. I hope it does not persuade too many people.

> it's been incorrectly marketed as autopilot instead of a "SomeCoolName Cruise", consumers get the impression that it's superior to other self driving features

I don't think that's quite a fair view of history.

BlueCruise and SuperCruise are both limited systems that only promise hands-free driving on pre-approved sections of highway. That's all they are marketing and all they are aiming to do right now. It's not anything like full self-driving in city streets and not being sold that way.

Tesla's Autopilot has very directly promised full self-driving capability in city streets for years but failed to deliver on it. That's completely different than what BlueCruise and SuperCruise are promising.

For example, in 2019, Elon Musk promised that you'd be able to "for sure" rent out your current 2019 Tesla in the year 2020 as a fully autonomous robotaxi:

“From our standpoint, if you fast forward a year, maybe a year and three months, but next year for sure, we’ll have over a million robotaxis on the road,” Musk said. “The fleet wakes up with an over the air update; that’s all it takes.” [1]

In hindsight, he was wrong and didn't deliver that. You can decide if the Tesla is just over-ambitious on timelines or if their plan can't/won't ever work. But you can't blame this on the name of the product. Tesla has been following a very different self-driving product strategy than Ford and GM (and several other automakers) and so far that plan hasn't paid off.

It is as simple as burning an image into ROM for many devices, that's the entire problem. As it turns out, UEFI vendors and secure programming don't seem to mix well, and this easy customisation option turned into a major infection vector.

If you think compact C file parsing libraries containing vulnerabilities are some kind of conspiracy by intelligence agencies, I've got bad news for you about almost every operating system out there.

Hopefully in the future vendors will pick up languages like Rust with better memory management security (though any programming language can contain vulnerabilities, of course), at least for critical components like UEFI firmware, but as long as the current code bases are used, we'll have parsing bugs. These firmwares have over a decade of legacy at this point, and if they haven't bothered fuzzing up to now, I doubt they will do in the future, let alone rewrite their parsers to be safer.
Over half of lithium is refined in China and then sold.

Since those refining costs are in domestic CNY, it makes perfect sense that the commodities price will also be quoted in CNY.

Nothing to do with "times changing", everything to do with country of production. (Most commodities aren't so tied to a single country, which is why they end up in USD.)

> Half a million is cheap compared to other satellite internet services i was referring to.

I don't know that, but it is still more expensive than deploying 5G towers, as I have explained in my previous comment.

> Do you think we should bother to connect these people or not?

I never said rural areas don't deserve broadband service, I'm not sure where you got that from.

I'm saying that their best chance to get fast, widely available broadband services, is to force telecom companies to deliver on the promises they made when they received billions in subsidies.

I'm also saying that Starlink is not the solution, because it is more expensive, slower, and less reliable than 5G, and unless a significant investment is made, it will get even less reliable over time for a number of reasons.

Also, we seem to be forgetting that Starlink is not even profitable as of 2023, and will need hundreds of millions of dollars in new investments to finally break even. Since, as you said, rural internet is not profitable enough to invest money in it, unless Starlink gets some federal money, their chances of providing a sustainable, long term service to rural communities, is next to nil.
