It is extremely hard to be a superstar in a dinosaur company, if we are talking about software development.

The thing to consider is called "technical debt." You will not believe what can be accumulated through years if technical debt is not addressed. And usually it is not properly addressed, of course.
The readme on the linked github reads: “MyShell reserves the ability to detect whether an audio is generated by OpenVoice, no matter whether the watermark is added or not.”

I've been reading all my news on Saturday, I didn't know what happened with SamA at OpenAI for an entire week while it was all anyone would talk about. I just waited until my Saturday slot and now I know probably as much as anyone.

I feel this designated intervals approach is working well for me. You slow down and don't clutter your mind, but at the same time you don't miss anything and probably absorb greater amount of information in a much shorter time.

> Jews have an ancient and vicious hatred of Europeans.

I'm not going to bother with the antisemitic conspiracy theory nonsense, but this part I couldn't resist replying to.

It's very ironic for you to say this considering the origin of Ashkenazi Jews came about when a large number of Jewish men from Judea were forcibly exiled to Southern Europe by the Romans, and subsequently married pagan women from that region who converted to Judaism.

In other words, at least 50% of the average Ashkenazi Jew's ethnic makeup is Southern European (a few centuries later, some eastern european slavic was also added), and these are the people who have an ancient and vicious hatred of Europeans?

In fairness though, if you sort by price, you can always find classics on Amazon for dirt cheap. E.g.

https://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Works-Dostoyevsky-Punishment...

Although there's no saying as to whether or not they will have proper spellcheck, TOC, if they are legitimately in the public domain, or even if it's the right book with all the pages. That's where a service like Standard Ebooks is superior to the potluck you get from Amazon.

That's a good point, but I would argue that lack of digitalisation is a real bottleneck for industries.

Allowing companies to do more work and hire more people in their field of expertise (be it a bakery or a PCB factory) is better than having them hire low-paid employees to operate the fax and fill multiple forms by hand.

Since we're talking Germany, the main complaint here is that there's not enough people available to work. "Well just bring in immigrants", you might say, but funny enough the lack of people in the immigration service is always cited as a bottleneck... and this bottleneck is mostly because of lack of digitalisation.
There's a middle ground between utopia and scam-tech.

Generative AI is a powerful tool this very second, and is accelerating at an incredible rate. It seems pretty obvious that its going to automate tons of the white collar workforce. The hype will crash, no doubt, but its not going quietly into the night, nor is it zombifying like some other hyped tech.

Anyway, I view the whole AI vs anti AI debate as a distraction. Its coming, like it or not. The significant question is who will be in control... Will AI be local, distributed among small providers, or concentrated in a few pseudo monopolies?
Yes, exactly. So why was it removed? The only reason I can think of is if he changed his mind, which he obviously didn't.

In this case it would be crocheting a swear word on your design.
I'm more and more thinking a government issued digital identity (like https://privacybydesign.foundation/irma-en/) that can be used to proof you're human (and other details of you want) but that can't be tracked back to an individual, but again optionally, can be used to create (multiple) online persona's is the way forward. I used to think of these things as dystopian, but fake content by fake persons is a bigger issue. Of course real persons could create persona's for such a bot, but a (personal and/or community based) blacklist mechanism based on the root account (the real human that created the persona) would go a long way.
I had an idea.

What if you trained a markov chain and got weights of every pair or sequence of pairs for a certain length.

Could you also do rotations with this information in vector space? With multiple points of freedom?

What if you could do inverse kinematics with markov chains?

> We've had a year of crazy hype about GPT-4 and I still can't figure out what Gen AI is going to be good for

Natural language interfaces to perform business-specific tasks, in concert with a UI to tweak things after generation, is the current killer use case in enterprise software, and it's exactly what's been built (and is being built). OpenAI's 1B ARR isn't just from people who pay for ChatGPT+.
It is true and really quite extraordinary.

As an industry and artifact, AI is rapidly filling the gap between what our brains “measure” (novel, obnoxious, sexy, …) vs. intended outcomes (learning, threat mitigation, healthy mates, …)

Culture leveraged that mismatch.

But that gap has now been colonized by a new species class: the uber adaptive, fast generation, artificially intelligent attentionvore.

The farming of people has just begun. The next Facebook is coming. :(

EDIT: Also, you don’t actually have to write that script now…
> I have seen situations where a single IC is dragging a division of 30 people yet still being compensated for doing the work of one IC.

I have often wondered about this myself, and believe there's some nuance to acknowledge:

- Yes, it is absolutely the case that individuals often carry teams. It does sometimes feel like they're subsidizing others' salaries.

- There's an old adage in advertising that goes: we know 50% of our budget is wasted on ineffective ads, we just don't know which 50%. The same probably holds true for organizations allocating wages.

- People go through different phases of their lives, where they can devote more or less energy to work. This fact may lend credence to a compensation structure that's based on bonuses and equity versus salary. Flat salary bands seem to discourage meritocracy without this adjustment.

- Organizations themselves are also dynamic. Consider a small org seeded by a prolific worker. They make the org successful, so the org grows and necessarily dilutes the talent (i.e. reversion to the mean).

- Does an organization have an incentive to "slow down" it's most prolific workers so everyone else can keep up? Conversely, should they develop a culture that speeds everyone else up?

- Should / do prolific workers self-select into higher-performance organizations, e.g. after getting fed up being a big fish in a small pond?

- Team dynamics are undeniable; consider two prolific workers with different styles clashing.

I personally would love to work on a team of superstars who mesh, and can capture disproportionate value relative to large, slow, mediocre orgs. The hard part is finding one and keeping it together.
Yes, the problem with such long context lengths is sparsity - you still don't have enough data points to make representative many-gram distributions. This was exactly the motivation for Bengio and others to propose neural language models in 2003:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/944919.944966

I recommend everyone interested in neural language models and/or wondering why we can't scale up Markov models by just using longer ngrams to read this paper. It's pretty accessible and explains how we got to where we are now in 2023.

No, a programming language is a useful tool. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from writing machine code directly, go right ahead if you think that's easier for you.

Looks a lot like the MIDI Fighter Twister, which is a great device, even if a tad expensive.

I use the Fighter Twister to play vintage synth simulations and was considering ripping it apart and place the encoders on a custom made front plate that resembles the old gear. It'd be only a stopgap, because I'd need a lot of different versions. A natural extension of this idea would be something like the Ottopot but with rearrangeable encoders, like on mechanical keyboards with exchangeable switches. Then add custom front plates and you'd almost be there.

It can both be true that people need to adapt/“trust nothing,” and that this is bad.
I‘ve heard register windows are more common in embedded

Depending on how liberally you want to define 'register windows', particularly if you include "two register sets", one could certainly say this is true. Many architectures have dual register sets, usually touted as for "fast interrupt handling" or other optimization based on not having to save the whole register file. Even the venerable Z80 has something like this. I have always assumed that's where the original idea grew from: if being able to speed things up by not push/pop-ing the registers is good for one type of context change, why not all/more of them?

I'm not enough of a theoretician or pedant to augur where register windows begin or end, however.
You only have a lot of trouble if you're adamant about looking for all the same kinds of food you did before.

It's actually pretty easy if you accept that the total number of items at the grocery store / restaurants has dramatically shrunk, and you stick to mostly whole foods (food category, not the corporation). Your staples start to become less processed crap and more animal products, vegetables, dairy, nuts/legumes, and more cooking at home.

It's a big transition that most people are unprepared for, but not actually terribly difficult as a single person with no SO/kids.

This reminds me of the deskilling problem, where operators whose tasks are automated away and end up being relegated to monitors and troubleshooters need to be even more knowledgeable and skilled to identify and resolve the ever-more obscure problems/edge cases that the automation cannot handle, but because the operators do not perform those tasks any longer, there is no reasonable way for them to maintain their advanced level of knowledge and skill. And the more automated the processed get, the greater the deskilling problem.

I feel its a valid concern, but the way companies generally respond to the concern is what is invalid. Teams should lift everyone up, not push superstars down.

E.g. How much active knowledge sharing on the superstar's domain of expertise, and even process, is happening? A luncheon once a month? Its not enough. How much time is the superstar allowed to spend documenting? Is the rest of the team actually reading it? Is active mentorship happening on the team?

Versus: Create a top-down process, make everyone follow the process, invent hypotheticals as to why the process matters, product factory, etc.
The question naturally becomes: how do you find a small, high performing team in the first place? I think maintaining a good network (previous colleagues, involvement in a broader community) will lead to opportunities, but then you have to distill the best ones.

First with an understanding that your opinions are subjective and that you will evaluate people incorrectly. Or more simply, with humility.

Second, I think if you genuinely have a complaint about dead weight it's probably better to hire selectively, cautiously and consciously rather than evaluate staff as sub-par after that point. Yes that's difficult to do especially with the first point, and it won't be perfect either.
This is not a good analogy.
