Yes, OpenAI can copy this, but they’ll still have less of a moat. That’s the problem with moats, once they’re gone even if you copy what others do, you don’t have a moat anymore.

Think of it in a physical sense. OpenAI is a high walled castle surrounded by a physical moat. This protects them and their business model. Apple comes along and builds a super tall tower right next to the moat. They can now see into OpenAI’s castle, fire arrows, catapult in a giant wooden badger, etc. Even if Open AI copies the design of Apple’s really tall tower and built it behind the moat and castle walls, it wouldn’t do much because Apple still would be able to get stuff over the moat and walls. The moat doesn’t matter anymore for the most part. The castle (OpenAI) can be compromised and needs bigger walls, relocating to someplace with a bigger, or a way of attacking the tower (Apple). Copying doesn’t really accomplish any of those three.
When I first learned to program at John's Hopkins CTY class back in middle school (~2002), we learned on C++. We didn't wait long to get to pointers because we learned not just how to get the computer to do what we wanted but also about what was going on underneath. When you are in a mindset of thinking about how things are being placed into memory, pointers become a much more natural concept.

You might be right. It’s not always the innovators who have the best stuff anyway. They have Dancing Bear problems. It’s not that the bear dances well, but that it dances at all.

Someone else has to come up with better dancers and better dances.
I personally prefer a direct strategy: state that you don't understand and what your (possibly) unenlightened concerns are. Or ask something like, "that sounds good, but what are we missing that might cause someone to be paged at 3am?"

There is a very high risk of famine[1] and there is already an extreme food shortage. If the Israelis don't allow more food to enter and open more borders/allow see access a famine is guaranteed. The UN resolution that passed yesterday should prevent that but we have to wait and see if Israel accepts it. IMO starving a population is a genocide.

> individual change is both near-impossible and pointless.

I disagree, strongly, for two reasons.

1. Individual change is the only thing most of us can do

2. Legislation won’t happen until enough people care enough to demand it

For legislation to ever have a hope, the voting public needs to care enough to put candidates in office who will institute this legislation. I just don’t see how this happens if everyone concludes “there’s nothing I can do”.

I agree that the global impact of my actions aren’t enough on their own to make a difference in terms of actual waste output. But each of our individual actions are collectively a prerequisite to actual legislation.

The actions we each take also influence those around us, which is again a prerequisite to broader awareness and the outcomes this awareness can lead to.

Expecting legislation to solve this while carrying on as usual is washing our hands of responsibility. We need both things to happen.

It does not matter much if they do not make competitor for iPhones and get consumers to choose them. Because consumers keep buying iPhones and will have then Apple hardware.

And they cannot bring software ecosystem for their hardware without Google, at least easily.

I don't recall anyone saying "This computer will stop working in X years". In fact I recall Microsoft saying that Windows 10 would be the last Windows version ever.

And even if they did say the computers would have an artifically limited lifespan: It's bullshit. It works fine. The greedy bigcorps just want more $$$ so they exploit you.

Not that this personally affects me, since I've been running Linux for years.

Absolutely.

That is correct.

Isn't the problem that companies are not involved in the waste management?

E.g. I remember reading that coca cola used to collect and reuse their glass bottles, but when the plastic bottles were introduced customers could just throw it away and coca cola didn't have to collect and clean them again.

Introduce a deposit system and if you wrap stuff in plastic put some tax on it for waste management

1, I used a Honda Civic because its a great car. If you choose to run this experiment with a NICER car, you've already proven that you are ok paying a premium for luxury or 'premium' experience. Thus, you're clearly ok spending extra for a nicer experience of being in your nice car and not having to park, wait, ride, rent car, return car, wait, etc.

And I assure you, I know many people that get paid miles for using their personal car for work, and flat out consider it a source of income because of how favorably it is paid out.
From Bard:

My situation is a bit unique, so the term "manufacturer" might not be the most accurate way to describe who created me. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know:

Developed by Google AI: I was created by a team of researchers and engineers at Google AI, specializing in language models and artificial intelligence.
Trained on a massive dataset: My knowledge and abilities come from being trained on a massive dataset of text and code, containing books, articles, code, and other forms of information.
Continuously learning and evolving: I'm still under development, constantly learning and improving as I interact with users and process new information.

So, while I don't have a single manufacturer in the traditional sense, I'm the result of collaboration and advancement in AI research and development at Google.

I hope this helps clarify things! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Reporting the scammers to Meta is pointless. I was bored a while ago and scambaited about 10.

> it's monopolistic behavior.

It’s not a public good - there are alternatives. It’s a convenience if anything.

I would like further support, but this isn’t a monopoly.
Sure - since talk therapy was pioneered it's vacillated wildly in approach between what we would today call depth and cognitive approaches. At times the emphasis has been entirely on teaching socialisation and behavioural strategies, at other times it's been delving into unconscious motivations. More specifically Freud (and successors, especially Anna Freud) identified a series of defence mechanisms, that have been widely validated and are now accepted far outside of analysis. Two of these are denial (literally refusal to accept or acknowledge reality) and repression.

Meanwhile Freud's developmental framework had young children going through early stages of 'opedipal' development involving attraction towards their opposite sex parent, and fantasies involving them - which would usually be repressed and could emerge as neurotic symptoms.

So you have this concept of memory as a potentially hidden repressed desire or trauma, and also this idea of attraction to the primary care giver. Psychoanalytics techniques - like hypnotism and later free association, were designed to uncover the unacceptable thoughts and primal trauma that lead to neurotic symptoms. So you have this delving for hidden desire and the one original source of trauma (this is another major issue with psychoanalysis, the idea that all trauma connects to an original primal trauma), combined with a fixation on the desire for the parent.

Over time techniques and theory have balkanised, so you have people simultaneously seeking desires in the unconscious and refusing to accept the surface level meaning of symptoms and patient communication - while simultaneously latching on to any 'recovered memory' of trauma. This contradiction can motivate patients to perform for their therapists, producing symptoms, dreams, memories etc which explain the 'origin' of issues which may have other causes - from personality disorders to physiological disease, to social contagions.

> Previously you always could install the newer Windows. It might be slow, but it'd work.

Not really. You can't run XP on a 386. It requires the Pentium instruction set.

Minimum requirements really do exist. It's not only about speed.
This is approximately correct, except for one big problem with counterflow exchangers, which is frost. Even the membrane types still frost up. What you really want is a regenerator, either a thermal wheel or a fixed matrix regenerator, if you really want maximal efficiency. And it should be what they call the total sorption type, so it has some adsorbent in it. Even then the latent efficiency could be improved with a better adsorbent, the industry standard is zeolite 3A. It's good because it lasts. Silica gel becomes slowly inactive as it adsorbs other stuff that clogs the adsorptions sites basically.

But the adsorbent only starts adsorbing at about 60% RH. So in some cases that actually leads to efficiency loss, compared to some kind of ideal adsorbent that adsorbed at any differential.
Reporting of shoplifting to the police is down for sure, since the police aren’t doing anything about it, there is no reason to report it. How does QFC report something that happens hourly, when they are understaffed already and those reports can only be taken over a phone that is unlikely to be answered, since the police are also understaffed? Petty crime reporting is notoriously noisy, the only reliable crime statistic is homicide (it is actually illegal to not report a murder).
Apple's moat has been and continues to be their insanely large installed base of high-margin hardware devices. Meanwhile, LLMs are rapidly becoming so commoditized that consumers are already expecting them to be built-in to every product. Eventually LLMs will be like spell check—completely standard and undifferentiated.

If OpenAI wants to survive, they will need to expand way beyond their current business model of charging for access to an LLM. The logical place for them to go would be custom chipsets or ARM/RISCV IP blocks for inference.
Totally agree. I was just trying to figure out what it is. Even something a small as a subheading like Wikipedia ("The Free Encyclopedia") does would be very helpful.
The CO2 cognition studies are almost definitely wrong. The military has done numerous studies over the decades with much much higher CO2 levels with none of the reported cognitive results reported more recently.

The CO2 cognition studies show huge results. It’s virtual impossible that none of the military CO2 studies would have picked this up with much higher CO2 levels.

Also navies the world over have been running submarines for decades with astronomically high CO2 levels with no reported cognitive deficits.

Whatever these recent CO2 cognitive decline studies are measuring it’s not coming from CO2.

One of the commonly citied cognitive decline studies shows a 50% reduction in cognitive ability at 1,400ppm. Submarines routinely operate at much higher levels and there was a study done where they exposed subjects to 40,000ppm for 2 weeks with no measurable cognitive decline.

I was wondering if you're aware that China possesses nuclear weapons and the reactors needed to produce more. Also, do you believe that all nuclear reactors function identically, being used for both power generation and weapon creation? And about France, what are your thoughts on their nuclear policies? Do you feel they are continuously producing weapons, or is there just a misunderstanding about nuclear power as a political issue leading to snap judgments?

You can understand quantitatively how this goes for different areas using Heating degree days and Cooling degree days, factoring in latent heat in both cases, ideally. There are calculators for this. I made a spreadsheet on my website www.openerv.ca that shows some of how to reckon this, there are links in there to get data.

In Austin, texas, I think you got quite a bit more energy and money saved per year from avoiding cooling costs, but in Ottawa, Canada, you save about 100x as much in winter as you ever could in summer.

I understand that Palestine is probably somewhat misogynistic compared to my American sensibilities, so I might be completely off base, but it feels like women would have a lot of political influence, even if it’s soft.

Or maybe they’re just treated like property and don’t know better due to poor educational prospects and tradition.

For actual practical purposes, BD would make so much more sense than DVD. 21 DVDs would be 2~4 disks. I find it a bit odd how that's not an option. Did Bluray never get significant adoption for PC in the US, such that demand for DVDs would still actually be similar or even higher than for BD?

In the days of dialup internet, I used a phone company that offered, between 1900 and 0700, free calls for calls under 30m.

So I wrote a cron job that, at 1905, started a script which sat in a loop, dropping the connection, dialing again, and then `sleep` for 29m, until the time got to 0655.

Very stupid, but it worked, I guess.
