> or Youtube "Open Video".

Compared to a curated video service like HBO Max, Hulu, or Netflix, that's an accurate way to describe the relative differences. We aren't used to using that terminology through, so yes, it comes across as weird (and if the point is to communicate features, is not particularly useful compared to other terminology that could be used).

It makes a bit less sense for search IMO, since that's the prevalent model as far as I'm aware, so there's not an easy and obvious comparison that is "closed" which allows us to view Google search as "open".

86k miles for each motor. That's pretty terrible. It's pretty common for ICE vehicles to not need major service until 100k or more. Total engine failure is pretty uncommon barring a collision or damage from neglect (or poor design).

Put another way, 14 motors over 10 years is 8.5 months per motor. At a rough estimate, you're getting somewhere around 2-4 thousand hours per motor.

Imagine replacing the engine in your car every 9 months. Or the transmission, or clutch, or any major mechanical component. We'd call that car a lemon.

On the other hand, 2.5 years per battery pack isn't too bad. With the kind of abuse shown here, I'd expect them to last closer to one year.

What's the point of that? Framework's whole thing is that it's modular and repairable. Desktop PCs are already that way.
Par for the course, maybe, but definitely not “not so bad.” This sort of thing really messes with a person. If this doesn’t sound that bad to you, I genuinely pity you for having to deal with what you consider to be worse, because being shunted around without clear perspective or direction, and a constantly moving platform, is pretty shit and really messes up your ability to work effectively.

Who has time or energy to play the games you describe as mitigations anyway?

Also, money means different things to different people. If I had to work four years for a retirement amount I would.

I don’t feel that your comment adds much other than “other people have it worse,” which isn’t a useful contribution and misses the point.
at 130,000 miles per year, 1.2M total and 14th motor... that's more than one motor a year. What the hell is that guy doing?
Android is knowledge in the world based. Apple is knowledge in the head based.

I'm not gonna remember how I did that setting change I made last year, do it doesn't matter if they have any consistency whatsoever, as long as I can find it with global search.

Consistent UI makes sense if you do a focused set of things often enough to learn them, but Android is meant to have a billion apps from 100 companies and control 20 IoT devices, none of which are interesting enough to motivate anyone to learn and master them, but all together they make life a easier by a small amount.

I responded to a sibling comment of yours about the chat aspect (TL;DR: our key objective is very far from human customer support - more similar to "chat with your codebase" if you use e.g. Cursor IDE).

But I think you do bring an interesting point, that chat interface is just one type of way to talk to computers, and in some sense it's the "laziest" way, since it's what we use to talk to people now.

The Textarea is actually an example of another non-chat way to "talk" to the AI intelligence. I do think we'll see a lot more being discovered by the community over the next 2 years (and we'll build those into CopilotKit, of course)
People will have problems they want to solve, and GPT can provide solutions that may or may not have a price tag.

In this case, it's just directing to the service you would have best fit with.

This can be highly profitable, because you are solving the problem for the customer with the products you are suggesting based on what they are looking to solve.

No, you do not need this just for decryption. This entitlement is only required if you want your Notification Extension to be able to silently eat the notification. Normally an extension must transform the notification then the system presents it to the user.

APNS is not a "let my server wake up my app in the background whenever and however often I like" mechanism.

Defer handling other things until either your extension or your app would have run anyway and do them at that time.

VisualEditor has actually rolled out lots of features since it first came out, and more are in the pipeline that rely on the same infrastructure (particularly around helping novices find things they can help with). You don't have to use it if you don't like it, but it's been huge for helping less technical users become contributors.
It's a fair point.

This entire thread kinda ignore that they are also selling ad space on many sites and their objective function in ordering search is not just the best possible result.

A stroke of the brush does not guarantee art from the bristles, but you don't need to be talented to draw something. As with most skills, it can be learned.
A big advantage if this was a product with strong network externalities like social media networks, or even somewhat mobile phones with platform-biased communication tools.

But I don't see generative AI as being particularly that way.
This made me wonder how he'd do at long jumping. The seventh jump (first with capped speed) will move the player 1785u:

3.06s 2432.70u 3500ups
3.57s 4217.70u 3500ups

4217.7 - 2432.7 = 1785
1785 / 16 = 11.5625
111.5625 / 3.28084 ~= 34

The Coming Wave of Specialized AI
Dang it, I got nerdsniped (https://xkcd.com/356/).

With the help of ChatGPT, I crossreferenced two lists of all municipalities (kommuner) in Sweden to place them in an increasing latitude order (south->north), and calculated where the 80% population threshold lies.

The answer is Västerås, which is a bit north of Stockholm. It is only 31.7% of the distance to the northernmost point in Sweden.

So 80% of Sweden's population lives in the southernmost 32% of the country. This might not be called "Sydsverige" in Swedish, but describing it to a foreigner I think 32% qualifies as "Southern Sweden".

That's not entirely accurate.

LLMs encode some level of understanding of their training set.

Whether that's sufficient for a specific purpose, or sufficiently comprehensive to generate side effects, is an open question.

* Caveat: with regards to introspection, this also assumes it's not specifically guarded against and opaquely lying.
Thanks for the comments. SLL and SLR are just my error (assuming that the acronym for Shift Logical Left was SLL); I've fixed the post.

I don't know if I'll ever get to the microcode; it would be quite a project to figure it out. From the die, each micro-instruction appears to be 35 bits long, broken into fields of about 6-8 bits that are interpreted by PLAs. So perhaps it has a rational structure that could be revealed by analysis.
It's an airline term, I am not a lawyer at all but I feel like there's an argument somewhere that using it as a brand for an intelligent/computer assistant, or, fine if you want to be buzzwordy, AI assistant on a computer is a novel use.

> static typing helps everywhere

I think "Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics" is a good example of the kind of software a dynamically-typed Lisp is superior at, beyond the usual suspects like SQL, R, Python, etc.

Here's an example of SICM in Clojure: https://github.com/mentat-collective/emmy

Go here to give it a try: https://nextjournal.com/try/samritchie/sicmutils

And here's a conference talk about it's implementation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PoajCqNKpg

More broadly, I think Rich Hickey (Clojure creator) makes a reasonable case that for information processing systems in particular, static typing has negative value: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V1FtfBDsLU

That's also been my experience.

If someone could marry the eraser of the Pentel with the auto-rotation mechanics Uni Kuru Toga, I'd have a dream pencil.

The Kuru Togas are just crazy good and only like $8. The only thing that sucks is that their eraser is super tiny and also structural. It's the only thing keeping the lead in, unlike the Pentels, which house their erasers in a metal sleeve.
Very interesting use-case!

I live in Melbourne, and I don't know why but there's a stigma to riding the bus that doesn't exist for other types of public transport. It doesn't make sense to me, they're all the same price so I don't see how taking the bus is poorer than taking the train or tram. I think it might be imported from America, where trams and trains are rarer, so all the stigma gets transferred to buses and that gets here via cultural osmosis.
Same poor experience in two independent contracts that were as large or larger. Google culture is just flatly against customer service. When it comes to Google Cloud, sorry you’re just too dumb to understand the beauty of our offerings. And then they admit it will take 6 months to get their internal k8s cluster upgraded.
Not clear to me from when the chat statement is, but given that the presentation is from 2020, it would actually be funny if he went from 'this is going to get us 100% certainty' to 'well, we might never be fully sure, but at least it's a cool library'.

Jokes aside, I'm pretty sure he was aware of the limitations at all times, and I'm reading this statement in the context of his examples in the presentation. There's a nice story in a Quanta interview about how he was approached by Peter Scholze to help formalize part of a proof. Scholze had asked whether they'd gone through his recent work, and when he said Yes, Scholze asked whether they'd carefully checked theorem 9.1. Buzzard said no, they didn't have enough time left when they got to chapter 9. And Scholze said, see, that's the problem, is anyone in the world really going to check 9.1? And then there are the stories in the presentation, where entire published proofs are put in question, not because of any direct mistake by the authors, but because of a problem in a lemma they used from previous work. This kind of transitive dependency chain could go down multiple papers, and there's really no guarantee that the later results are salvageable. So it seems to me that formalization would be a great practical tool to mitigate those problems.

And then yes, it's also super cool in its own right (imho), just the fact of collecting the knowledge, and then the related work might also prove useful for formal verification (of hard/software systems), which has practical relevance, and mathlib might also just happen to become a great enabler for developing math-focused AI. So lots of good reasons to do it, but correctness might still be the most direct payoff: Terry Tao has a different blog post about how he found a (fixable) error in a recent proof of his, thanks to Lean. If that happens to him on one of the first occasions where he uses the tool seriously, then we can only guess what's waiting to be fixed (or thrown out) in the whole body of published mathematics.
Don’t for the Environmentalist’s Conservation Deceptions.

I think carbon capture is going to have to be part of the solution.

China’s use of fossils fuels increased in 2023.

The developing world want to live like the developed world and with democracy, it is untenable to stop them.

There is no way the developed world voters will give up their lifestyle. Look at the yellow vest protests in France. Even Germany increased use of coal to make up for shortfalls when they shuttered nuclear power plants.

Look at Joe Biden’s efforts to keep the price of gasoline low (opening up strategic reserves, trying to convince Saudi Arabia to increase oil production).

We need massive development of carbon free energy (wind, solar, nuclear, hydro electric), and we will need some type of carbon capture.

We have already emitted enough CO2 to cause catastrophe and we haven’t stopped. We need a way to capture that, even if we magically halted all CO2 emissions worldwide tomorrow.

MS products all suck. They only survive because they throw billions at them and dont care about profitability.

Microsoft is still the same old Microsoft
One interesting consequence of the model consolidation happening in the LLM world is that it's actually easier for AMD's hardware to be competitive. It used to be that you had to support a ton of ops since nobody is going to use your GPU for just a single model. Nowadays, most models are just transformers with only a few operations inside, albeit repeated many times over. On top of that, you can build a reasonable application or business using only one or two LLMs (i.e. LLaMA 2 + Whisper, etc). So as long as they can get those running fast, they can sell GPUs to people who don't need the flexibility and breadth of CUDA.
I've used pretty much every coffee system you can imagine at this point.

Moka pots are pretty fussy as far as temp control and can be quite messy. A Nespresso is far more convenient (and IMO much better than a Keurig is to coffee). I do love Moka pots and French presses as very cheap, old tech ways of making coffee that I think are nearly as good as very pricy methods.
>Steve Balmer of Google

I've been making this exact comparison for years at this point.

Both inherited companies with market dominant core products in near monopoly positions. They both kept the lights on, but the companies under them repeatedly fail the break into new markets and suffer from a near total lack of coherent vision and perverse internal incentives that contribute to the failure of new products. And after a while, the quality of that core product starts to stumble as well.

The fact that we've seen this show before makes it all the more baffling to me that investors are happy about it. Especially when in the same timeframe we've seen Satya Nadella completely transform Microsoft and deliver relatively meteoric performance.
Robert Hughes was a real treasure. His archive is worth exploring if only for his honesty and no bullshit approach. He was incredibly well informed and erudite.

His book “The Shock of the New” is a landmark to this day for anyone interested in getting a perspective on how modern art, culture, and western humanity intersect and wind through history. The BBC made a TV version he narrated in the 1980’s that’s very good too - about 7 hours of content. You can find it on YouTube and you don’t need to be an art enthusiast or even too knowledgeable about the subject to appreciate it.
Ok, I think this is a funny comment but if you think about it for more than a second it really condenses what a lot of the AI handwringing is about: humans value what's difficult to humans, or at least what's difficult to a lot of humans. We get upset when something shows up that can even partially mimic a creative process that's valued for its scarcity.

If you use the database's JSON type(s) and/or functions, then yes, your database is a JSON processor.

And, yes, your database is not a dumb store, not if it's an RDBMS. The whole point of it is that it's not a dumb store.
Rocm will only get adoption when Cuda code can be ported over with 1 click.

At the very least, pytorch has to work effortlessly across GPUs, down to the less popular and odd workarounds people build into their pyotrch code.

Even if RocM reaches parity, the first mover advantage for Cuda is too large. RocM porting has to be literally effortless. Everything else is DOA.
