You can argue whether or not Palestinians deserve the response, but what makes you think Hamas does not represent Palestinians? A recent poll by the Arab World for Research and Development shows that 75% of Palestinians support both the October 7th attacks and Hamas's vision of a single, Palestinian-only state. And Hamas's vision to achieve this state is actual, literal genocide.
That would be putting the cart before the horse, no games yet worth porting, so obviously so, it couldn’t be the reason for the investment.

They just like the guy.

He’s now raised $23m publicly for the entity. Improbable said they raised $500m, I don’t know what reality was, but I’m sure it was similar.

It’s a lot of money for sure, I wonder what risky stuff they will spend it on. We have a lot of options for game development and we also had a lot of options for multiplayer engineering.

If you were a brilliant engineer, would you sign up for “port games to consoles?” I don’t know. So I’m sure there’s something really visionary behind the fundraising that hasn’t been said publicly.
And B6 overdose causes small fiber neuropathy. It’s advisable to get levels checked before supplementing. I‘d consider getting the active form (P5P) as it also works when metabolism is impaired. Another thing to note is that those supplements often come in very high doses (eg 100x the DRI), which I personally wouldn’t take to avoid toxicity.
I have no insider information, and I know little about this transaction.

However, I have done COSS business models before. This sort of thing is ridiculously easy to monetize. You can look at Red Hat, MongoDB, and many other platforms to see how this works. The key is usually services.

Broadly, there are two types of service contracts:

- Low-cost. Find developers / support people / admins / ... in India for $10-$100/day.

- High-quality / money is not a issue. Find the best people (think BCG, McKinsey, law firms, boutique UX consultancies) and pay them $500/hour.

Something like Godot is used a lot in places you wouldn't expect. Major video games and kids learning are the high-visibility uses, but there's a lot of game-like systems used in corporate, military, and government settings built on systems like Godot, Unity, and Unreal Engine.

If you're developing an experimental airplane which _must_ work, costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and hinges on a pilot training system being developed, or you're making a marketing tool in a winner-takes-all-market worth a billion, you're very much in the later category of shops you'll outsource to.

If you're the major developer or contributor to an open ecosystem, you become the go-to shop for the latter. If something needs fixing in the core tool to make the app you're developing work, you have people in-house who can fix it.

A lot of these are also places with less than impressive competence to vet vendors (most specialize in another industry), and "major developer of Godot" is an easy way to not screw it up. It's the same reason people hire name-brand law firms or management consulting firms: it's not the best choice, but if you don't know better and need a problem solved, it's a safe choice.
To me, it sounds more like you're saying the same thing as me: It is not a law of nature, it is text on paper, a human fiction. Yet, somehow you manage to disagree with me. How did that happen?
Thanks for the thoughtful and in-depth response. I see what you’re saying and don’t have any rebuttals/followups.

No. "Spit on" is a serious accusation with real life historical analogs. I have literally never, ever, ever in my entire life heard people say "I was spit upon" as a figure of speech. Ever. It's not a figure of speech I would personally ever use because of the implications.

Please don't accuse people of arguing in bad faith just because they haven't had the same life experiences you have had. You are spitting in me when you do so.
Piracy, in the sense used about IP, was never stealing, it has always been trespassing. Stealing is when you deprive someone of property without consent, trespass is when you use property without consent without depriving the owner of it.

This remains true irrespective of what kind and term if rights you get when you purchase an IP license.
I just don't get the entitlement around Youtube. It costs money to maintain the servers and keep it running, 24/7 so you can enjoy the content. It certainly doesn't owe you a free Rickroll.

If for whatever reason Youtube wants to enshittify its service to destroy its UX it is 100% within its rights to do so.

If you want it to (temporarily) work again, just get everyone within 6 degrees of separation from you to sign up for Youtube Premium.

> This represents almost the totality of AI safetyism: we can only allow LLMs to enforce my beliefs.

How is this different from, say, a newspaper with an editorial board, or a book publishing house with a particular set of standards and conventions? For that matter, how is this different from dang enforcing the rules of this board?

LLMs aren’t being built only by big corporations.
Yes, there are probably some implementation pieces missing. But Disco Research also punches way above their weight on open source LLM stuff, so I would gamble it’s not that far off. They also just released a chat fine-tune of the model just moments ago:

https://huggingface.co/DiscoResearch/DiscoLM-mixtral-8x7b-v2
Serious / non-leading / non-rhetorical question: What are the gaps?
These safety groups seem to be mostly concerned with making sure LLMs don't say bad words, not with preventing FOOM!.
Espionage between civilised countries has fairly civilised almost customary rules since the end of WW2 tbh.

Spies with diplomatic cover simply get expelled/PNG’d, illegals get detained, put on trial and kept for potential horse trading, and local agents (traitors) get dealt with as the country sees fit. Usually by imprisonment, these days.

The status quo of these “rules of the game” being upheld has been the case for ages, it’s in nobodies interest to start breaking those “rules”.
I imagine with the interesting geopolitical situation we all find ourselves in, if it wasn't before it sure as shit will be now.

It's nice to see some more rigorous thinking about what command line interfaces are good at, but the findings in the research paper are limited to certain kinds of tasks. The authors describe these as "problem-solving situations where people need to learn the underlying rules of a system, or make as little mistakes as possible"

In situations where the cost of failure is low, and one wants to quickly explore a problem space in search of the best solution, you often want an interface that encourages "epistemic action". This is action taken using the interface to think about the problem rather than directly solve it. David Kirsh uses the example of Tetris: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/036402...
People often rotate pieces when they're falling to see which way they'll fit best, because that's faster than doing the rotation in your head.

So, the fact that users spend more time thinking before they engage with an interface may not be a good thing. It could be that the interface is just hard to use. Think about how you normally solve a jigsaw puzzle... There may be some amount of planning, but there's also a healthy amount of trial an error. The cost of making a mistake is low. Now imagine each piece of the puzzle weighed 50 pounds. In that case, one would make a detailed plan before moving many pieces around.

That's really cool! I stumbled across libpng being 10+x slower to encode than jpg and tiff at work. The LOGLUV32 part is very clever. I particularly like the tonemapped fallback and general idea to build on top instead of reinventing. That said I hope these format extensions don't end up in compatibility hell, where viewing the full info image is hit or miss between different CPNG decoders.

I think software development is probably relatively easier to slide into than deciding you really want to become a mechanical or chemical engineer. As you say, it's something you can potentially do a bit on the side.

That said, per another comment, as long as the pay is ridiculously good--which odds are it won't actually be by starting over with a tech company--waiting it out and avoiding lifestyle inflation isn't the worst plan. One of my classmates in school retired from investment banking in his 40s and travels and teaches a bit on the side.
Thanks, that's exactly the right direction. But not yet the right magnitude. You're still limited to what's representable as single CLI invocations.

It depends on their support system. The years from 18-24 can be brutal. A few mistakes ("just a year off to travel", credit card debt, a pointless major chosen to have an easier time in class and more left for socializing) can burn bridges that aren't even on your radar.

Once you get into living paycheck to paycheck, esp. if you're supporting a family, your options are severely restricted. It doesn't mean you can't live a happy, peaceful, maybe even more purposeful life. But most people really don't understand how significant these decisions can be at 18.
I imagine it's common for all strategic resources.
With Karpenter becoming an official EKS add on, I’m really hoping the new “scalesets” gets the same treatment and then we’re somewhat close to a an out of the box ci on EKS experience.

Right now I’m using Karpenter, ARC, EFS and buildkit and it’s great, but it was also like a month of setup and is nontrivially complex.
An amusing corollary: Let's be arrogant enough to assume that we are a central part of the simulation. Then everything beyond our solar system and the nearest stats is unreachable.

You spent a week arguing with me under the impression I believed X, and I pointed out that I had told you at the beginning I didn't believe X. I was curious whether you'd re-read the thread with this new information in mind and re-evaluate the things you'd said. I think we both know the answer to that, so here we are.

You are right though, that I thought I was a lot more curious than I was - I forgot about this until I saw you peddling the same line of goods in a new thread this morning. Best of luck :) I will close by saying thanks for being civil, I hope you experienced this conversation in the "Let's have a friendly tussle over this relatively obscure point for fun and to understand the world better" spirit in which it was intended. For future reference, you can enhance that good-natured spirit greatly by not accusing people of being upset. Also wouldn't hurt to pay a little extra attention when someone says, "Just to avoid misunderstanding I'll try to clearly summarize my position...", missing that caused a lot of unnecessary repetition.
I was referring at the past history.

That history causes the feelings Seribans have, I can see why they are frustrated, but I agree politicians usually use this to gain more votes instead of finding a way to look forward.
Majority of spying by nation states is industrial or corporate, its not much to do with sexy international politics. It's uninteresting and you will not see a movie about the subject. It's likely they were getting details from a Spanish company, alternatively it may be something like details about a trade deal.

You could probably find out which area the area chief was working on and look back from there.
Like which apps?
I updated my earlier comment to point out much earlier property laws. As best I can tell, copyright laws are around 500 years old, and about 230 in America. They were always written to give the creator a limited monopoly, unlike property, which is in perpetuity. Personal property is typically not considered to have the wide public value or cultural impact that ideas have.
The question is not if you can "remember" it. That is not what ownership in personal information is about.

The question is whether you can __sell__ the information that I had three double cheese burgers and extra greasy fries to my health insurance provider.
In some cases as much as hundreds of millions of profit, in some cases its existential- one situation they needed to spin up a complex business process that would have required an entire organization of likely thousands of humans to comply with a regulatory requirement they were found in violation of and the only way to comply was to have humans review millions of documents and web sites manually to classify them. With a fair amount of fine tuning they were able to build an LLM infrastructure that did this role with the backing of a 20 person review and escalation team. They couldn’t have spun up the equivalent traditional org on time and would have had to had a potentially ruinous public regulatory issue. The cost savings on one hand is hard to gauge, particularly because it would have greatly impacted their culture and organization to add so many humans so quickly. Anyway it’s amazing how many ways these things can be used.

The joke is that there is something there. For example in a presidential election, I'm indifferent between my preferred candidate having $1 more and the opposing candidate having $1 less. If it were possible to honestly negotiate with my counterpart who supports the other candidate, we could either save our money or agree to both donate to a mutually agreeable charity, and everyone would be better off.

> I'm not sure if you've ever used modern software. It's sometimes amazing just how unreliable it is. Web browsers crash every few weeks, windows is known for regularly needing a reboot

I'm not sure if you remember older software properly. The idea that an entire desktop computer, much less a web browser, could even run for weeks without a reboot would blow the mind of '90s me.

Netscape Navigator was the direct cause of at least 80% of the Mac OS 8/9 crashes I've experienced in my life. It was less common for the browser to entirely take down a Windows system in that era but I sure do remember seeing a lot of those application crash dialogs until the modern era of tabbed browsing made people care more about stability.

Prior to Windows 7 becoming mainstream I never had to check uptime when diagnosing weird behavior on end user computers because they just naturally got rebooted regularly. Now there are a lot of computers that only reboot when they receive updates that require one, and depending on the user might not get those updates very often. I see systems that haven't been rebooted in the better part of a year and some times longer every few weeks. Even more now with Windows 10+ "Fast Start" where "Shut Down" actually means hibernate so users who think they're shutting down every night actually haven't had a fresh boot in months.
Why is simpler better? (2016)
Some of this is already occurring. The company I work for makes mobile imaging solutions (CT, MRI, PET) that fit in the size of a shipping container and are often transported by semi-truck. There are hospital designs that leave bays for these trucks to pull into with a door on the side to get patients in and out on detachable tables. So a small hospital system that only has the money for a single CT or MRI scanner can move it from site to site in rotation to see patients instead of siting it at a single hospital and having to send patients further from home.

Doing that on a larger scale would be the next step.
> they're attempting to avoid the simple fact that piracy is robbing other people of their labour.

It's not. A pirate is just another non-customer. There's robbing involved when someone chooses not to buy something. Watching a movie at a friend's house isn't robbing the producers of anything. Neither is buying something second hand. These are all non-customers of the original creator.
There is no comparison between aggressive imperialist world powers like Germany and Japan, on the one hand, and an almost powerless people living under foreign military occupation, like the Palestinians.

What you're doing here is just giving a justification for unlimited military repression of the Palestinian people by Israel. It reminds me of the phrase, "The beatings will continue until morale improves." The Palestinians will take their beatings until they completely prostrate themselves before their oppressors and accept what they're being offered: nothing.

The level of English varies, and salaries usually correlate with English proficiency just as well as with technical ability. I believe this is because devs with strong English can compete as remote workers on the global market, whereas those who are not professionally competent in English are relegated to work in firms that speak their language, or at least to have a bilingual management layer above them.
I couldn't care less about the specific implementation.

My parent comment said "LLMs are useless for classification, because they can't give confidence scores". I think i have shown that to be demonstrably false.
Awesome franchise. I'm still waiting for X-Com 3 after these years.
Another possibility is that the Spanish officials were bribed to sell information to people pretending to be the United States, but not actually representing the United States.
