Existential threat by definition is a threat to people's or humanity’s existence or survival. It comes from the Latin root existentia meaning survival.

Reshaping coastlines and raising temperatures probably won’t kill off humanity. But it will change virtually every aspect of our society and potentially kill of technological civilization as you say.

Therefore it’s more than an existential threat of destroying humanity. I meant it how it’s meant to use used: the range of possibilities major sea level rise far exceeds the risk of extinction or the end of humanity, it possesses a range of possible outcomes that would reshape society itself and change inconceivable numbers of things beyond the possibility of merely wiping out the species.

I hear the Islands of California can be quite lovely in the spring, and the Florida banks have excellent fishing if you don’t mind the super hurricanes.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. It's making me want to make more videos about various programming topics.
I think everyone is in agreement that the Metal API is pretty nice and there was little objection to making the WebGPU API similar (unless portability concerns dictated otherwise). The main disagreement was over shaders.
P vs NP is not an "in practical terms" question. It is a theoretical question with theoretical definitions of theoretical terms, including "efficient", which directly corresponds to the class P by definition.
I think I see where you're coming from, at least somewhat. Any revolution would come from finding a fast algorithm for an interesting problem, which would also happen to prove P=NP, but that wouldn't be the important part. The algorithm itself would be.

And I'm curious about flipping this question: can you think of any UX that would be interested for you in a social network?
Talent in an emerging field is simply not a moat. What OpenAI has is a headstart. Others can still catch up. Especially as the field gains popularity and more smart folks enter it.
But the point is that they made a custom chip. I want to see buy their custom chip so I can have an "LLM box" in my house.

I'd pay quite a bit of money to have a Mixtral box at home, then we'd all have our own, local assistant/helper/partner/whatever. Basically, the plot of the movie Her.
I saw this in person back in September.

Really impressed by their hardware.

I'm still wondering why is the uptake so slow. My understanding from their presentations was that it was relatively simple to compile a model. Why isn't it more talked about? And why not demo Mixtral or show case multiple models?
They addressed it on their blog https://groq.com/hey-elon-its-time-to-cease-de-grok/
you don't even have a decent web browser on your iphone and even with all your apple tax money you can't do nothing about it
Google has give up on organic search. I am pretty good as that SEO stuff and I can't Google anymore as I can fathom really fast why a page ranks the way it does. And non of it has to do with accurate valuable information.

Google is a marketplace, and they let most "engaging" results that adhere to a certain content structure win.

By now most paid results offer more value for the users than the organic results. Cause thats what Google wants. Click the paid, ignore the crap.
Nuclear was getting massively cheaper and was scaling well and fast. Then a huge amount of extra regulation came killed all forward progress in the industry, a new regulator was essentially anti nuclear and the utilities understood that the political wind had massively turned against nuclear. All vital research projects for next generation plants were killed.

At the same time cheap coal was discovered and changed the economics and utilities had little intensive to adopt nuclear.

In France where a top down nuclear approach was adopted, it has been an absolutely amazing deal. Far, far cheaper green energy then German 30+ year journey adopting renewables (and they aren't close).

> embrace the technology that are forcing true change.

Nuclear actually made true chance 40 years ago. It just some countries that took advantage of it and some countries that burned a lot of coal that cost them much, much, much more.
Another option might be to have the default scroll position at the bottom, to act more like a terminal or chat app. Scroll up to see the history, rather than scrolling down to see the latest.

(Sorry if this is how it already works, I’m on my phone right now, so I can’t download it, but I’m very interested in the block idea. I like that concept a lot for a scratch pad. I’m definitely saving this for later.)
I'd assume it's because that's not explained very well in the linked page.

Factorio benefits greatly from faster CPU. GPU, not so much.

As for RAM, anyone trying to sell you on faster RAM is a snake oil peddler.
The point is not whether it can be modeled (it can), but whether you can get a closed form solution for it (you can't...or we don't know how for now)
I posed this question to GPT-4 and Groq:

"I am building an api in spring boot that persists users documents. This would be for an hr system. There are folders, and documents, which might have very sensitive data. I will need somewhere to store metadata about those documents. I was thinking of using postgres for the emtadata, and s3 for the actual documents. Any better ideas? or off the shelf libraries for this?"

Both were at about parity, except groq suggested using Spring Cloud Storage library, which GPT4 did not suggest. It turns out, that library might be great for my use case. I think OpenAI's days are numbered, the pressure for them to release the next gen model is very high.

Not only that, but GPT4 is quite slow, often times out, etc. These reponses are so much faster, which really does matter.
You and I have very different definitions of "now" :)
Hey! So does Google.

They just shut those steps down with little fanfare every couple years.
In this case, the full context is very important, and I would say it shows more nuance and understanding of autism than the general member of the population does. Honestly if anything was ableist it was the combination of these two non-consecutive paragraphs:

"The one thing that would be valuable to the NSA is autistic obsession with tech... ...You don't have to 'train' them, they'll train themselves"

"If you are an organization with zero skills of your own, then sure, hiring such kids will at least get you started. But you'll exhaust their value *within 3 months*, after which you've got a *sociopath* on your hands"

To put it another way, Autistics being good at hacking is nothing else but a matter of them doing extra training out of self-interest, but their inferiority is permanent. The reason why autistics get interested in tech is because they're innately good at technology leading to a positive feedback loop. They don't just wake up one day and decide to be obsessed about tech.

Such notions are why at my last employer I veiled my autism diagnosis. Which was not good for me, or for my employer, but what choice do I have? If I worked for this man, and I disclosed on day 1, he would fire me immediately or in month 3 due to his pessimism about my potential. Whereas if he found out later about my autism, he could slap his head and say I must be "socialised" and that he made a good hire. It would be in everybody's interest if autistics were open about their diagnosis, but could be confident they would be given time and support to understand corporate social norms they may have extra trouble understanding.
Whether this is groundbreaking or not depends on what the whale thought of it.

If it got the notion that humans are now actually trying to talk to it in its language, I'd call that a win.
I've used entirely new adapters in an entirely new phone and had the issue. Many I know have experienced the same (before giving up on using the adapter wile moving). But it's true I've also heard from people like you who haven't had issues so I can't personally say it's always a problem.

But really what I don't understand is how Apple can't just add an option to turn off the damn accessibility options entirely. Why does dirt or temporary bad connections cause this problem at all? They could just let you turn off the setting that it triggers so that it really doesn't matter. The fact that they don't care enough to do that tells me enough of how much they care about making their headphone adapter a good product. I never used to have to worry about issues like this with a regular headphone jack, but I certainly do with Apple's adapter. It's simply a poor product.
They're is a limit to the amount of profit that the OpenAI investors can retrieve.

The corporate structure isn't built to be a cashcow for them. This is how OpenAI can continue claiming it's a non-profit.

Although it's a not a total profitable company, doesn't mean that the investors cannot monetize and build of its use, for example the use of Microsoft 365, Bing, Azure, access to training data and usage statistics.
If I'm reading this right, just the fact you have a static IP does not mean you're not behind a CGNAT. It could be static at the carrier level only, right?

How could I reliably tell if I'm behind a CGNAT or not? If I poll one of those "what is my IP" websites, and the IP my router has assigned from the wan matches the what is my IP then I'm fine, I'm not behind one, right?

And if you can access the services using a dydns kind of thing, then you're safe, you're not behind a CGNAT as well. Only catch where you could be wrong is if you try to access from the same CGNAT network (is this how you call it?) But since the dydns is probably swing your wide internet IP that should still not work?

> If we pushed even half of the money spent policing the war on drugs into homelessness support, mental health services, and addiction counseling and harm minimization like needle exchanges, we’d see a huge reduction in harm.

This point seems plausible, are there any sources that might prove it?

Also your point about racial discrimination might be a good utilitarian argument for it's better to let those racially discriminated against free alongside some folks who were also upto other crimes... The replies have definitely given me more food for thought.

Good man.

I gave my granddaughter (strictly speaking, my wife's grand daughter, but she calls me granddad and always has. She also now has a sister) a laptop running Ubuntu at the start of the first covid lock down in the UK.

She still uses it. Mostly to watch crap on Youtube, I gather, but who am I to judge? It is tethered to my home router via OpenVPN and I patch it from time to time. I have an ISO27000 registration to keep on top of 8)

That laptop was a customer cast off, destined for the skip.
Ah woops I posted this in the main thread before I saw this comment, thanks
Building Large Scale React Apps
If I’m doing the math correctly, growing their existing end-user offering at 20/month to a billion users would make their revenue 240 billion/year. As we don’t have good insight into the long term cost trajectory of GPUs - it’s unclear what the final margin will be.

One thing I could say for certain is that paying a 90% margin on GPU compute for 240 billion COGS is nonsensical. The pressure to cut out Nvidia, or improve inference performance on Nvidia will be immense.
I also learned HTML in 1996 (when I was also 12), in part from a cover story in I wanna say PC Magazine. I had a modem and had access to an unlimited AOL account thanks to my school’s computer lab teacher not doing a great job of hiding the password for the account (she also trusted me and my best friend quite a bit…trust we only abused insofar as we stole AOL from the county, back when it was still hourly and not unlimited for everyone), but it’s a similar story.

But you know what got me interested in computers to begin with? My Super Nintendo (and I guess my NES before that). So I rebuke the idea that video game consoles don’t teach transferable skills (what the fuck that is supposed to mean) and that they don’t unlock wonder and excitement about technology in lots and lots of people, especially kids.
Least action is a nice, unifying principle, but to me it strongly hints that our formalisms don't capture the full picture.
The reality is that the highway project has gone to far. It has been institutionalized with a gigantic lobby behind it. The highway are done, and have been for decades.

And even before that a huge numbers of highway built made no fucking sense and were a negative for the economy. And state DoT are literally just highway building departments with a fetish for destroying cities.

You are not riding the plate of the S curve, continued investment in that nonsense is an active negative.

> Now we don’t have to money, nor the will to invest in the next S curve infrastructure project.

How about this. Stop spendign such an mind blowing amount of money on highways and other roads, and instead invested in financially smart things like walking, bike, buses and trains.
The post I am commenting on is NOT accounting for a stock split.
Can you link to where Gates talks about this?
I thought its filled with air so chips do not break in packaging. I may find chips or many other packaged products expensive for its weight but not misleading.

On the other hand I do find restaurant/coffee shop servings regularly misleading. There is no size/weight printed on it. They can and often reduce size/portion/pieces in their servings along with increasing price.
The IDF has a stated goal of eradicating Hamas, and, failing that, of disabling them militarily. Hamas has a stated goal of maximizing Gazan fatalities, because they believe they're playing a long game that will, in the course of decades or centuries, end with a new caliphate in the Levant; they are a theocratic e/acc movement that places zero value on human life and that has embedded itself deeply into a densely populated area that affords civilians minimal freedom of motion.

It may well be the case that Netanyahu's fascist-fringe coalition has a subtextual goal of vindicating October 7th with a disproportionate retaliatory civilian casualties. But a subtext is all that is. Any Israeli leader pursuing the IDF's current stated military goal, even in a hypothetical Labor coalition, would be incurring the same "disproportionate" casualties, simply because of how the conflict is structured.

You can't simply add casualties up, death for death. If you did that, every one of the retaliatory casualties would be immoral as well. The question isn't what the comparative numbers are, but rather whether legitimate military objectives outweighed the civilian toll in each strike. That's how international war crimes law sees it, and it's I think the only sane way to look at the situation.

(None of this is to say that the IDF's campaign in Gaza is wholly defensible; I have no idea if it is, and it sure looks to me like it isn't).
It does everything I want. So much that I’m using the desktop version too.
If AI has as big of an impact as it seems like it will, we will ultimately have to design consumer-grade chips around neural networks to run it at the edge. (kind of like what https://www.etched.ai is doing)

Either that or some massive efficiency breakthrough, probably (hopefully!) both. Otherwise AI will be limited to enormous computing banks at datacenters, and it will be severely limited in terms of privacy (because no one wants to upload their personal data to datacenters, especially not to power some black-box "AI")
I think pretty much every sophomore level microelectronics book starts at basic semiconductor physics, works that into pn junctions, then transistors, then amplifiers, then gates and sequential elements.

Okay, sure, it made sense to shut it down, but to me it would make sense to do a new one today for the aforementioned reasons (use cases).

You still need to get an invite / a waitlist to register or am I missing something ?

I don't know how you can expect people to make the move when they're not even able to sign in
>why would a significant number of people move anyway?

The reality is it was only a significant minority.

Most people don't care that they /communicate on Mysterious Twitter X/, they just care about communicating and Mysterious Twitter X is just the dominant one of all the social media networks.

Then there's people like me who use Mysterious Twitter X for a very specific purpose. In my case, I use it to follow announcements from my favorite games (FGO, Priconne, etc.) and join their repost campaigns, get info from some game guide makers, follow some Japanese illustrators, and follow a small handful of Japanese celebrities I'm actually interested in. Exactly none of them left Mysterious Twitter X.

For my use case, Musk's takeover was actually amazing because he killed off the political manipulations that Twitter Japan was spewing behind the scenes. Ain't nobody got time for politics when I'm there to be a man of culture.
to be clear the kind of "fairly sure" i was referring to was the kind of undeniable first hand proof, but difficult to prove in court. Such things exist, a police officer can give testimony in court about what happened, and it's subject to a level of scrutiny, but their body cam recording confirming evidence makes it nigh impossible to argue (instead folks go for inadmissible evidence or other avenues to discredit the evidence).
> > We have already selected a male candidate for the internship so it'd be best if the next one was a woman

> This is both true and legal

Absolutely not. Using any protected class (race, gender, religion, disability, etc.) in hiring decisions is illegal unless this is a bona fide occupational qualification [1]. You can deliberately hire a Black person to play Frederick Douglass in a move. You cannot deliberately hire or favor someone on the basis of race or gender for software development jobs. This example above is textbook illegal discrimination: "I don't want to select $protected_class_X, it'd be best of the next one was $protected_class_Y". The fact that the previous hire belonged to $protected_class_X does not in any way make it legal to discriminate on the next hire.

Companies do this, but they're breaking the law and hoping they aren't going to be held accountable. And as per TFA, now that they're realizing that people aren't as supportive of racial and gender discrimination as they thought these policies are being rolled back.

> That's why better hiring systems try to hide gender on the initial application, so you can be reasonably reassured gender is not a factor.

Interestingly, all the DEI staff I've encountered have resoundingly shut down calls to anonymize applications. It puzzled me at first until I attended a career fair and recruiters instructed us to mark female URM candidates with two stars, non-URM women and URM men with one star, and Asian men with "ND". Which I later learned stood for "negative diversity". I poked around the onboarding docs recruiters had, and they linked to census data on majority-female and majority-URM names. Recruiters were being given specific percentage quotas for women and URM hires. Of course they don't want anonymization. It all makes sense when you realize DEI isn't an anti-discrimination effort, they are actively carrying out discrimination.

> E.g. my current employer has done a really good job at not discriminating too much against women and attracting women, so we're well above industry average in our woman:NB:man

This really struck me as an odd thing to say. You admit that women are overrepresented, and elsewhere in your comment you seem to think that discrimination favoring women is legal. Yet you assume that the overrepresentation of women is evidence that your company isn't discriminatory.

Imagine someone wrote this: "Our company is good at avoiding anti-male discrimination, so we're well above industry average in our men:women ratio." And now imagine that the same person writes that refusing to hire a woman for an internship is legal if the previous intern hire was a woman. Do you think this person's company is non-discriminatory?

The evidence in tech company hiring actually shows women are favored over men [2], so maybe don't assume that your company's overrepresentation of women is because other companies are discriminating against women and yours is non-biased.

It's not a technical issue with the costs in US; it's a political issue. On one hand, any construction project gets mired in massive amounts of red tape even when things go well. And then you have all the people who see public transit and similar projects as a threat to their neighborhood's "character" (i.e. who gets to live there), and who have mastered the art of using said red tape for their advantage.
Oh I see. On the iPhone though, FaceID / TouchID are the same as the passcode - at least in the sense that if the biometrics fail, they fall back to the passcode.

This means that if you enable log in with biometrics, you’re essentially enabling the fallback along even if the app has a separate PIN/passcode.
Get an API key and a front end app. Problem solved
Doesn't the speed also depend on the number of people currently accessing it?
Yeah, I think our desire for tokens/s and lower latency is likely insatiable. Same reason you have a terminal that can print out more than 300 words per minute. Life is way easier when you don't have to be super parsimonious with your output. You suggest a bug fix and regenerate the whole code snippet, or you spit out a webpage on demand and the user scrolls to the bottom immediately, etc.
Bluesky has the advantage that it doesn’t “feel” decentralized. It just feels like Twitter: you make an account (with an additional screen confirming you want to create the account on bsky.app or whatever the main instance is) and it works as smoothly as twitter does with some extra goodies in the backend that come from it being decentralized.

I do like how usernames are domain names, which gives them a portability similar to email.
