Of course it is. And while it is of course is good that we don’t pump more fossil fuels from the ground to us as raw materials, the rest is very much the same as normal plastics. Most isn’t compostable, and some are even harder to recycle (at least in current facilities).
Ah yes, the classic "hacker" tip, just pay the corporation.
Yes, possibly. Publication bias is a known problem when using prior work (see [1] for some references on the problem and potential solutions).

One of the strengths of Bayesian methods is that you can use a less informative prior to model your skepticism of prior work.

ah, truly sorry we don't support that! whatsapp messaging (i.e. sms) API is a thing -- but takes a lot of effort to get setup & approved.

for voice... I truly don't know. it seems possible via some very entreprise-y twilio solutions, but it's not simple.

sorry again about this! if anyone knows the whatsapp (or telegram?) to pstn/phone channel?? stuff well - let me know here! thanks!

The problem I have with this is $500/month is a lot more than $500 per-month. Hear me out.

If Steam is taking 30% and uncle Sam is taking 35%, $500 is really $175. You need to earn roughly $1450 per-month to make around $500 per-month. Of course, that doesn't count any marketing/domain/asset/license/etc fees.
True, and a year ago very few of those people had heard of ChatGPT, so it's very possible that something new could come along in the same way.
"The political-science professors, perfectly sane men, look at me with wonder when I talk about the ruling class in America. They say, “You are one of those conspiracy theorists. You think there’s a headquarters and they get together at the Bohemian Grove and run the United States.” Well, they do get together at the Bohemian Grove and do a lot of picking of Secretaries of State, anyway. But they don’t have to conspire. They all think alike. It goes back to the way we’re raised, the schools we went to–after all, I’m a reluctant member of this group. You don’t have to give orders to the editor of The New York Times. He is in place because he will respond to a crisis the way you want him to, as will the President, as will the head of the Chase Manhattan Bank."

Both of the following can be true simultaneously:

1. Eliminating plastic straws alone won't move the needle when it comes to waste.

2. Plastic straws are entirely unnecessary for the vast majority of people.
Sure, I’m already doing what I love (programming) but yes I would like to be better and better at that while also providing as nice a life as possible for my family. My point is there is no level of UBI that would be considered fair in a for-profit world. Rhetorically should people in Wyoming get the same UBI as people in California? Or do all the people that don’t want to work move to the less expensive areas and those that do live in the nice ones? This doesn’t create equality, fairness, or satisfaction for the recipients of UBI
Shit... this is exactly what i've been thinking of for the past few months! Those examples with the UI solve so many problems and I just love the ideas!

A car at even 20 MPH has a tremendous amount of kinetic energy, and we are all well aware of the destructive consequences of rapid deceleration when large amounts of energy are involved, particularly when fleshy human bodies are involved. There exists no other system with anything close to a comparable level of risk where we do not require or at least expect a human to be actively monitoring the system and ready to take action in the event of a problem.

I'm not saying we should ban Level whatever auto magic AI driving. All I'm saying is that we should use the same standards of responsible operation that we apply to literally every other area of human activity. Why does driving get a free pass?
Apple apparently uses Google Cloud, so it's that or TPUs!
For sure. And you know what will be disgusting to witness? A lot of the ones supporting this evil, will claim to have been against the injustice all along. Plain lies. Like the German NAZIs did after the Holocaust.

i think you’re looking at it wrong if all you consider are the bare numbers. someone may find enough _value_ in an expensive bike and expensive gear and not enough value in strava’s paid features. value is subjective, right?

in the mtb community at least it’s not uncommon for someone with a $6k bike to be driving a $3k car and wearing street clothes.

i find it very easy to imagine people stretching financially for expensive bikes and then cutting costs by cancelling strava.

They can't? When you say "real headshot" are you meeting an actual picture taken with real lensing and real film and developed on photographic paper? I suspect when you say real headshot it means something that's been digitally augmented. People have become so used to their magic mirror in their phone that digitally alters their self perception that I can understand when they see other pictures that have been digitally created they may not be able to tell the difference. Perhaps it's time for a steady dose of reality so it becomes easier to identify these things.
Isnt she crazy?
I don't disagree your last sentence, but an inconsistent approach of some people in your acquaintance to their resource use and recycling isn't a proof of zero-waste being festishization at the expense of other problems. As if a heaving post-renovation dumpster means we shouldn't be strict about recycling.
> I'm still not convinced that this is what FTL travel would look like to an external observer.

I'm not either, I'm saying that if that's the case, there is an easy way to find out.

> I don't think you've done enough to justify this assertion.

Again, speculation, not assertion. The proposed detection mechanism works only in the described case.
I really hope they will make siri usable. In the current state it’s only good for fixed phrases. And even then it fails time to time

Don't forget "Repair"!

The art of fixing things is rather out of style these days, but it's been a major part of every human society until rather recently. If something breaks, you fix it, you don't just use it as an excuse to buy new.

Developing the skills to do "deep repair" sort of stuff on electronics is useful. It can be a profitable little side gig in a range of ways. Re-capping some old electronics to bring them back to life is quite satisfying, too.
Yes, really. There were other reservations about shader compilation in particular from other participants, Apple wasn't alone in that department (e.g. asset sizes and needing to fork the format to maintain compatibility guarantees). They did demand a non-binary format, which sealed the deal on no SPIR-V. But it was not as simple as "SPIR-V/Vulkan was perfect and what everyone except Apple wanted." The shading language by far had the most discussion and iterations; none of the participants in contrast had nearly as many reservations about the structure of the API.
Just to be clear. I'm not a psychologist or psychoanalyst. I trained as a psychoanalyst (and not in the US) but don't practice. Also to note - the APA don't represent psychologists or psychoanalysts, but rather psychiatrists. Anyone discussing the motivations of any public figure is engaging in armchair psychoanalysis, and although I agree with the premise behind prohibiting professionals from doing so, psychiatrists often do in fact provide professional opinions to the media about people they have not examined (for example diagnosing certain political figures).

In any case, I don't think anyone is qualified to credit or discredit a claim in a medical or psychologically diagnostic sense without a clinical interview (something that few psychiatrists are qualified to perform by the way). That's not what I'm doing here. What I'm pointing out is the unreliability of recovered memory. Specifically someone claiming that they repressed sexual abuse at age 4, for decades, and then remembered it accurately. That's simply not how memory usually works.
This is absolutely the best use of generative AI I've seen so far. This is incredible.
I have a minimalist for more than a decade. The hardest part is convincing others to become more environment friendly. I couldn't change even one person.

Countries are careful about calling other countries terror organisations. That's a weak argument. To convince me, you have to argue that their actions aren't terroristic.

Usually, you can argue that a state's actions aren't "terrorism" because most definitions of "terrorism" involve the requirement that the action is illegal. But saying that the IDF is regularly committing war crimes isn't even controversial at this point. So what exactly separates their illegal actions intended to instil terror from all the other terror organizations?
If it's a junior developer, then they really shouldn't have too much responsibility without heavy supervision anyway.

If it's a senior developer, then they should feel comfortable speaking up when there's a disconnect or misunderstanding. I would argue that one trait is the overwhelming majority of what separates a senior developer from a junior one.

> One of the most harmful falsehoods about it is that somehow GOTOs and line numbers would turn you into a bad programmer for life.

Yup! As soon as I was exposed to a language withOUT line numbers and GOTOs, a little light went on, and stayed on.
> If you think running servers is difficult and expensive (you're right), ask yourself why you feel entitled for us to run them for your product.

He also doesn't want to federate the service to reduce their own server cost. There was a brief time its immediate predecessor Textsecure federated with cyanogenmod: https://signal.org/blog/cyanogen-integration/ His more recent comments on federation: https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/

Also, maybe don't choose to freely license client software and stick to review-only licensing if your intent is to run a closed service where you don't want other clients? I think a lot of people were rubbed the wrong way about the branding/licensing (Open Whisper Systems/AGPL) vs. what it ended up being. You don't see closed services like Telegram complaining about modified freely licensed clients.
Because there's no iMessage client for these devices, just as there is no iMessages for Windows or Linux either.

As long as iMessage is not an open standard, your access to your Messages is restricted to the platforms that Apple owns and/or have an app for.

As for iCloud plans, I was referring to the storage for Messages, as you need paid plans to host more than 5gb of content of messages such as all of the photos and videos and so on.
I guess they also have Samsung fridges in the offices..

One big plus if this takes off as a base model is the abundance of weasel family animals to use in naming the derivatives. Ermine, marten, fisher, ... I'd like to call Wolverine. Llama didn't have much room for some interesting variety beyond alpaca and vicuna.

All your examples are from more than two decades ago when computer hardware was actually still evolving, and like you say, those changes actually had some basis in reality other than greed. The TPM debacle is 100% artificial. This is worsened by Microsoft marketing Windows 10 as "the last Windows you'll need" when they released it.
I think most tech companies rely on ignorance to sell their "simple" solutions. If everyone could solve their own problems their own way, then nobody would buy "simple" solutions.
Taking a product from 0 to $60K in 3 months is very impressive but what I don't like about this niche and these types of articles, is they never really tell you the important stuff about the success. They read like a narrative journey to get you excited about the possibilities - because they are marketing fluff pieces intended to drive more sales.

What I'd like to see instead: since this guy launched 17 products in 2 years, during which time he was broke, the success was obviously not about investing heavily in the product. It's almost certainly about his distribution and the only hint we have about that is that he had 55K Twitter followers... which may or may not matter.

I'd like an article that dives into what his distribution looked like and I want him to write about how to do that well, since he's clearly very good at it. I don't need more solopreneur porn - the Internet has plenty of that already.
Agreed I've seen a scenario play out with a junior engineer and a senior manager who does this. The junior had the right idea but the dialog with the inquisitive senior manger left the junior confused because they didn't feel like they had the chops to push back.
Apple doesn’t even sell NVidia cards on their Mac Pros. Are they training it on Linux?

I think Apple would strive to be great at all computing related tasks. “Oh, Macs are not good for that, you should get a PC” should make them sad and worried.

AI/LLM is the new hot thing. If people are using Windows or Linux, you’re loosing momentum, hearts and minds… and sales, obviously.
If you're trying to make a case that you're not a conspiracy theorist, your first cite probably shouldn't be Gore Vidal. But if you're just trying to be entertaining, he's hard to beat.

The difficulty with the path of trying to elect candidates that promise action on a particular issue is that there are always thousands of issues and no given candidate is likely to support all of your preferences so you have to decide which is more important. If a candidate agrees with you on single use plastics but is in opposition to your views on prison reform, which one do you give more importance? It's just one of the quirks of representative democracy that keeps issues with lower noise from being addressed.
So if you're being held up at gunpoint, what's going to be your response? "Well ackshually the chances of being robbed is less than 0.1% per year, so the idea that I'm being victimized is a right-wing meme that has very little basis in reality"?

Yep. In 91 I had a 286 which couldn't do multitasking or interesting graphics. Compared to the amiga, which had multitasking, high quality graphics, and genlock...

By 94 I had a 486/66 with 4MB RAM running TAMU Linux (and Windows 3.1 I guess) basically so I had access to g++ and emacs (having no money for "Turbo C++" on Windows). It was too slow, so I upgraded the RAM (spending close to $1K upgrading to the max, 32MB). Much of my career rests on what I learned about Linux on that machine.
I'm also an Italian who taught himself how to code at 16 (I'm now 34), although not even remotely at your level. Then I studied physics, did a PhD, a postdoc about neural networks, etc., but I felt that what mattered to me the most was to inspire young people like the one I was, and I decided to come back to Italy and become a high school teacher starting this year. I'm also organizing an extracurricular python course in my school. If you're not based far from Milan and are interested in talking to my students, we could consider that! Good luck with everything.
Mostly really good, but I have a problem with this one:

> 67. Think of all the psychic energy expended in seeking a fundamental distinction between “algorithm” and “program”.

I mean... it's semantics but I feel like taking the bait here. I have a weird concept of fun.

I've always understood it as a program takes external input and/or gives external output (like keyboard presses, display to screen, write to disk, etc) whereas an algorithm is self contained and can run on any turing machine regardless of capabilities.

Basically "Side Effects", but I avoided using that phrase because input isn't clearly a side effect, but if your semantics don't require no side effects for an algorithm, then yeah a program is functionally equivalent to an algorithm.

Mostly semantics don't capital-M Matter, but can be important to clarify meanings. Depending on what project/team I'm working on I can have completely incompatible definitions of the same word in the same day.
Scoring "The Rings of Power" P1 – Journey to Middle-Earth
The paper was definitely cool but doesn't allow you to run particularly large LLMs on iPhones. It allows you to run a certain kind of LLM (sparse ReLU based LLMs) whose weights are somewhere less than 2x RAM. So, 7b Falcon works, but the competitive-with-gpt-3.5-turbo LLMs are still out of reach (and aren't ReLU based, although maybe that could change in the future). And nothing is competitive with GPT-4 right now.

Of course in the long run I think it will happen — smaller and more efficient models are getting better regularly, and Apple can also just ship their new iPhones with larger amounts of RAM. But I'd be very surprised if there was GPT-4 level intelligence running locally on an iPhone within the next couple years — that sized model is so big right now even with significant memory optimizations, and I think distilling it down to iPhone size would be very hard even if you had access to the weights (and Apple doesn't). More likely there will be small models that run locally, but that fall back to large models running on servers somewhere for complex tasks, at least for the next couple years.
Substack on Nazi Views
Replace “AI” with “printing presses”, “electricity”, “general computing”, “off-shoring”, “online marketplaces”, etc. Variants of this sentiment have been expressed throughout history, but have always been looked upon as foolish in hindsight.

Thanks for the idea. If it gets rid of these nag screens riddled with dark ui patterns after every update I am willing to try everything.
you are first and foremost responsible with how you live your own life, not how others live theirs. However, how you live does change the life of others around you (however miniscule it may be). Thus, you did the most important thing and that's respectable. A single person might not change the world but anyhow can make the world a better place.
