your comment is spot on. an acquisition is also the perfect time to have someone trigger an investigation by the local privacy authority for breach of GDPR and I can tell with reasonable certainty that the wording on that ToS is enough to get fined. Until they have a legal presence in the EU they might get away with it, though.

I mean, it seems like we agree more than you might realize, and only seem to differ on where the line should be drawn between CLI and GUI. I'll totally grant that the place I decided to draw the line was arbitrary. I don't know that that question has a right answer.

But the printer example is a great one. The value of printing the output is that then you can do things with it that help you think about it in ways that you couldn't do with the on screen interface. If you wanted to you could cut the paper up and rearrange it, draw diagrams etc.

There is a whole genre of interfaces, called Tangible User Interfaces or TUI, that is all about giving physical form to digital information and using physical objects / tokens to represent and modify information inside the computer. Here's a paper with an example task that's similar in many ways to the task in the paper in the original blog post.

So yeah, if an interface lets you organize things spatially in physical (or graphical) space, it can make you a lot more productive.

Note that running these GGUF models currently requires a forked version of llama.cpp:

The GGUF handling for Mistral's mixture of experts hasn't been finalized yet. TheBloke and ggerganov and friends are still figuring out what works best.

The Q5_K_M gguf model is about 32GB. That's not going to fit into any consumer grade GPU, but it should be possible to run on a reasonably powerful workstation or gaming rig. Maybe not fast enough to be useful for everyday productivity, but it should run well enough to get a sense of what's possible. Sort of a glimpse into the future.

> The Italian Futurists were also not "proto-fascists", they were an art movement of which a small proportion of which later became involved with fascism.

The founder of (Italian) Futurism, Marinetti, who is also the specific person that Andreesen quotes and includes as a saint of Techno-Optimism, was a supporter of Mussolini, directly. As in, he founded a political party and later merged it with Mussolini's fascist party, of which he became one of the first members.

Also, both Ayn Rand and fascism - particularly the Futurist fascists - are very much on the same side of the political compass on most issues. Ayn Rand sees her philosophy as "anarchist", but she very much believes that lesser people should follow the Great Men who are the only ones who actually know what is good for everyone.

As to how much Andreesen's published opinions are sincerely held or incoherent and just for show, I don't know. But fascism is on the rise again and it is still important to criticize those who espouse its virtues, even if only for show.
Rick Rubin on taking communion with Johnny Cash and not rushing creativity
Being an OS developer for the 3D0 was enlightening, primarily because very little of the highly publicized 3D0 technology actually worked. The OS team was expected to fix the hardware bugs, while maintaining all the marketing hype. Plus the executives were early spending the money they expected to earn and were half checked out during the critical "nothing works this cannot be delivered" meetings. It was the cascading cluster fuck of all cluster fucks, as E.A. had no capacity to realize this "ambition", just executives capable of selling the idea.
I have written blog platforms for myself several times over the years. (I've always compared it to the Great American Novel. Every programmer has to write at least one.) It's a fun thing to do and it sounds like Developer_Tom has a nice perspective on the matter.

I gave up on that seven or eight years ago. I realized that running it was like being my own plumber. Sure, I can do it but aren't there better ways to spend my time? (No criticism intended. I'm old. You're probably not.)

I have only one criticism for Developer_Tom as he takes signups for his "forever" platform: He's not charging for it. Just as with my own efforts, if there's no revenue model, I'm not trusting it with my bon mots.

A half dozen years ago or something, I switched to a blog platform named https://posthaven.com because they said two things that were crucial to me: 1) They offered nothing for free and 2) They considered running this to be a lifetime commitment.

I'm sure both of them have other jobs and projects. It's a simple site, as bannerblog.dev will eventually be, and doesn't take much from them. I'm guessing it's a good money maker. And I love them for that.

Occasionally I see something that has features I like. Eg, Developer_Tom looks like he might offer easier customization. Then I remember that the PostHaven guys made a commitment to me that really requires a commitment from me. I will be giving them five bucks a month for the rest of my life and, if I have any money left, I will arrange for them to get five bucks a month for eternity.

That's the relationship I'm looking for in a blogging platform.
Those are subscription based though.

I use Vivaldi to detect the RSS and grab the URL, but actually have my RSS in Thunderbird. Back in the days of good Opera, I had mail, chat, RSS all inside the browser. But for some reason I couldn't get back to that when Vivaldi finally released the mail beta.

So not saying Vivaldi's RSS is bad, mostly want to mention that Thunderbird can do RSS too, if one happens to use it anyway.
Html is fine, but txt is really useful. Txt would also allow easy porting and reuse. But no harm in having multiple options.
> The loss function is the feedback

Please expand -- as I understand it the LLMs use cross entropy on next token prediction as their loss function and I fail to see how this gives any feedback about translation, even given parallel texts. Predicting the next token in a French language text and predicting the next token in an English language text are not obviously more interesting than dealing with non-parallel texts in both languages.

It's totally possible that these parallel texts are critical in a sense to the translation capabilities but this is not obvious.

It would be incredibly difficult to establish empirically because reducing training data reduces the effectiveness at all tasks. Translation, like almost all of the capabilities of LLMs, is an emergent behavior that we don't fully understand yet.

First, hats off for making banner blog.

I've made three blogging platforms for clients (one old one based on Zope, one based on Django and a static blog generator written in Go). Each time I've built one I'm always reminded of the depth of the rabbit hole, and each blogging platform was built because WordPress was bad at a certain thing, and the customer felt strongly that a plug in wasn't the answer (the first one, WP was young, the second wanted integration and workflow for their publishing business, and the last one was about generating a static blog site for performance).

1. The web really needs better tooling built into the browser for handling HTML input. I shouldn't need a giant ball of JavaScript to have a WYSYWIG HTML editor. It seems that there has always been a need to for editing stylized text, and right now there's not really a standard way to do it. There should be.

2. There's a lot more to a good blog site than just content. Navigation, categories, tags, search all are important for different bloggers. What's a podcast? A blog with video in the feed. What about ways to pay the blogger? Oh, then there's SEO, then there is internationalization, then there's accessibility, then there's syndication out and syndication in. All of it matters to some users and not at all to other users. The rabbit hole is infinitely deep.

3. On the web, output is so easy. Input is a lot more difficult for non-developers. Bringing a blogging platform's writing tools to parity with a 35 year old budget word processor (think Works, not Word) is a pretty expensive proposition. It's remarkable to me how much more capability an old Word Processor has than what we give bloggers.

So, what about WordPress? Well, it is proof that good enough wins, and if you pile enough browser plugins with enough WordPress extensions, it works better than most other ways of doing it.

"so what, fix RSS first" seems like a valid criticism even if it really is true that this isn't something this particular person has any control over. If your organizational structure is forcing you to do something dumb, then there's a problem with your organizational structure.
It's not directly related to the article, but there's a question I've had for a while, related to this line:

> [Framework components] usually consist primarily of JavaScript, with only a very thin layer of HTML and CSS to provide their structure and are usually compiled away on the server side before they ever reach the DOM [...]

Is there any decent data on how many sites built with SPA frameworks end up using SSR, or even just anecdotal reports? A decent amount of what I read online seems to assume devs are using SSR, but I'm not sure if that's an accurate representation or just hype/pushing newer technology.

> Microsoft Corp. is teaming up with labor unions to create “an open dialogue” on how artificial intelligence will impact workers.

> The Redmond, Washington-based software giant is forming an alliance with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, which comprises 60 labor unions representing 12.5 million workers, the companies said in a joint statement on Monday.

> “This partnership reflects a recognition of the critical role workers play in the development, deployment and regulation of AI and related technologies,” said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, who called the collaboration “a groundbreaking” and “historic” alliance.

> The alliance’s goals include “sharing in-depth information with labor leaders and workers on AI technology trends, incorporating worker perspectives and expertise in the development of AI technology” and “helping shape public policy that supports the technology skills and needs of frontline workers.”

Having very much enjoyed LFN, I think your taste in where to simplify suits me, at least.

I doubt I'll ever get around to it but I'm sort of tempted to see if I can remember enough arm26 assembler to try and get it to compile to that (arm26 does have multiply but not divide, I'd have to dig out the 'standard' fast division asm block that was passed around amongst Archimedes authors back when that was my primary platform).

Just bought a copy so I should at least get as far as "I've read the book but not got around to the arm26 part" though :D
It might be “trivial” but in my experience most engineers at these companies are too busy trying to look good in order to either survive the next cut (particularly egregious at Amazon) or get promoted, and fixing this does neither.

As Charlie Munger said: show me the incentive, and I’ll show you the outcome.
You seem to have deep fundamental misunderstandings about ECS systems.

You can absolutely access multiple components in a system, for some reason you think a component and a system must have a one to one relationship, when really it’s many to many.

The only caveat is that you have to think carefully about the order that some of your systems are executing in the game loop, since you want to make sure component data has been updated appropriately for later systems to act on.

ECS is really the best way to make games. It lends itself well to rapid iteration and experimentation of new game concepts.

The rising rate of nighttime deaths (unlike the daytime rate, which is falling) seems unique to the US, and the article suggests cellphone use is part of the problem:

It’s perhaps not surprising then that Americans spend nearly three times as much time interacting with their phones while driving as drivers in Britain, according to smartphone data collected by Cambridge Mobile Telematics.

I would not be surprised if phone use by pedestrians is also higher in the US - which is not to suggest that pedestrians are largely responsible for the rise.

This is a cool concept!

> Loop constants are written to the v hand.

> There are eight callee-saved registers, which are written to the v hand, meaning that when it exits from a function, the values in v[0]–v[7] are not changed.

Any instruction whose destination is a hand will change the offsets of all previous values in that hand. So am I correctly understanding that with this calling convention, every function that includes a loop must end with eight "mv" instructions, to restore those eight callee-saved registers to the "top" of the v hand?

This seems like it would benefit enormously from a special instruction that allows you to decrement a hand's offset by a fixed amount.
