LLMs aren't word processors.

If I went around, recorded broadway shows, and then sold them to anyone that wants them. You'd agree that's violating copyright. Even if I mixed them or made my own remix, that's still a copyright violation.

Regardless of what the purchaser does with the material, I'm violating copyright because I'm selling derivative works. The only thing LLMs do is create derivative works. It doesn't matter that you can prompt them to put their own spin on derivatives just like it wouldn't matter if I took requests with my bootleg mixing company (I'm just a tool of piracy! I have no control if you decide to sell the works after I sold it to you).

I'll also point out, OpenAI is extra on thin ice because it's not infeasible that someone like the NY Times wouldn't make their own LLM based on their material and sell the output to subscribers. That's a real harm. Fanfic doesn't often get prosecuted because nobody is sell it so harm is hard to prove. But when you have a business built around selling these derivative works, that's the issue.

I have been absolutely blown away by the pace of housing construction in the recently-rezoned Gowanus neighborhood in Brooklyn. It's incredible how quickly the area has changed from empty lots and single-story warehouse buildings into mid/high-rise residential buildings, once the zoning restrictions were removed, and even with all of the general city codes and extra rules for that area around building on brownfields.

Sounds like building codes haven’t forced old buildings to be retrofitted with decent ventilation. If that’s not possible then it shouldn’t be a school.

I think meta analysis aren't very compelling to a lot of people. Few death certificates read "killed by coal" for example. If true, I think communicating that modern reactors (for example) no longer produce weapons grade materials this could be helpful.

And to split hairs: you don't need to distribute your work to have it stolen. the various leaks and hacks over the years attests to that.

False. iSH is an x86 "bytecode" emulator.

"Possibly the most interesting thing I wrote as part of iSH is the JIT. It's not actually a JIT since it doesn't target machine code. Instead it generates an array of pointers to functions called gadgets, and each gadget ends with a tailcall to the next function; like the threaded code technique used by some Forth interpreters."

Saying France "works" or "doesn't work" isn't so straight forward, but I definitely lean more towards the "it works" side. I mean it is a net exporter of energy and is only rivaled by Sweden in terms of emissions per kWhr (Sweden has a lot of hydro, which is great, but not available to everyone. Can also be dangerous, see Banqiao, but that's not very relevant tbh). Germany on the other hand has 6x the emissions. They've been making great strides, but still have yet to be able to remove themselves from their coal and gas addictions (gas is potentially worse than typical accounting but let's use official numbers to keep fair). That is also what put them at the mercy of Russia (and consequently several other EU countries who depended on either Russia or Germany for power, which increased demand from French power), but also can be seen as a strategic move politically since trade partners are less likely to go to war but it can also be leverage. As you might see, this is in fact a pretty complicated clusterfuck. But we can all agree that German electricity is procured at 6x the emissions of French electricity. Success does depend upon which metrics you care about, but if we're talking climate, emissions are definitely one of the most important ones. A big issue is that Germany is often viewed as a mover and role model in the climate space but even by EU standards they are one of the worst offenders (doubly so if you bin the countries by economic size. i.e. Poorer countries have worse emissions). So I get why people push back against Germany because while we should congratulate them for their large rollout of renewables we should still criticize them for their emission levels and inability to actually match what others have done (even many with little to no nuclear, see UK)

You may find this site useful strictly for the electricity and subsequent emissions side. It'll be insufficient for total emissions though (as that includes many things beyond electricity) and certainly isn't adequate for understanding geopolitics or other things. I suggest poking around, using the emission tab per region (defaults on production) and also changing the time scale to at least 30 days to be a more accurate view of this specific question we're addressing.

No, they are not. I find construction rules in USA to be weird in comparison to Europe, it looks like most rules exist to make new developments almost impossible unless you bribe a lot of the people in charge of regulations; they protect the shady revenues of local officials, not the people that will live in the buildings. At the same time, some standards are ridiculous, like low power electrical lines in homes and small offices are dangerous and obsolete. I am passioned about this particular domain and I am investing quite some time learning about differences between Europe and other places around the world, so I had the chance to reach to some conclusions.

OK, although "stupid Germans keep opening windows to defeat stupid green goals" is of course a take, in reality, a modern energy-efficient Euro-style building will:

-Indeed be 'airtight', in the sense that limited air (and noise, as a bonus) will enter or leave the building except via defined ventilation routes.

-Offer primary 24/7 ventilation (mostly for CO2 management) via ingress/egress vents as part of a balanced ventilation system, which performs 'comfort' regulation of incoming air temperature using heat recovered from outgoing air.

-Heat or cool the building via under-floor convection connected to a reversible heat pump. This will slowly but surely bring most of the building mass to a comfortable temperature regardless of season.

-In addition to basic ventilation and heating/cooling offer very-well-insulated yet securely operable windows for additional temporary ventilation. Window openings are very much defined ventilation routes as part of the 'airtight' plan.

The important things to keep in mind here are that the balanced ventilation system prevents things like mold already, and that opening windows for brief periods of time (as in: measured in hours) for (perceived) comfort won't impact energy efficiency very much at all.

The most relevant criticism here is that retrofitting existing buildings for the above scheme is a significant challenge, but that doesn't quite seem to be the point the article wants to be making...
What are they going to do - fire you?
Something about this feels like a comedy of manners about a recent fad for some section of mathematics instead of, say, learning Hungarian, blazing like smallpox through a set of the gentry ... combined with a touch of the Lovecraftian horror of revelation of subjects too large for a brain only recently post-simian, more tuned to hurling rocks than visualization of the perambulations of higher-order Platonics through a more understandable, lesser membrane. One might imagine the Thirteenth Duke of Wybourne, having commissioned from an artisan a fine set of Hinton cubes and, upon their reception, ensconced them in some parlour corner bit of cabinetry, only for a succession of his niece's acquaintances to fall victim to some palsy, seizure, or neurasthenic disorder purely because her companions were typically relegated to a particular chair near the offending objects of uncanny intellectual curiosity. Why do all of her friends fare so poorly?
A/B testing is an Amazon thing, but is it also an AWS thing? I thought AWS engineering culture was pretty different.
Different hypotheses differ in strength. While a butterfly idea is a sort of hypothesis, it specifically denotes a particularly weak one with the most minimal amount of support. I like the term because it allows you to express the magnitude together with the fact that it is a hypothesis with minimal effort. Of course the people you work with need to be familiar with this vernacular, but that’s doable.

I think there is one single factor why it is done and it is more energy efficient in comparison to keeping windows slightly open all the time for constant ventilation.

Rooms are mainly heated by water radiators in Germany. These radiators are most likely under windows to compensate for the radiated cold and draft from the windows that may create discomfort. As the heat moves up then it will create (mainly) closed circulation in the room when the windows are closed.

Now when the windows are open then the heat from the radiators will instead escape from the windows. On top of this the radiators are most likely locally regulated (with thermal valves) and will heat up because of the cold air from the outside while increasing the energy loss even more.

This is the main reason why the heating must be closed during the shock ventilation and why it is less energy efficient to keep the windows slightly open for constant ventilation.

This is of course a compromise between good air quality and energy efficiency and the correct answer is to build a proper mechanical ventilation with an heat exchange.
I cannot but feel that some part of the spectrum that is invisible, so it can work when the light is turned off, and is capable of penetrating the walls so as to not require an expensive wired repeater in every room, would still remain the best choice for providing local connectivity in general.

I can see applications for LiFi, but it will not replace WiFi any time soon.
Assuming that AWS (or any tech company) was/is better due to engineering doesn't align with reality.

The reason to choose one public cloud provider over another, or over on-perm, isn't their AI strength or the technical qualities of their SaaS offering.

Well,

2. It's at margins barely above the cost to extract, which is as big a financial hit you make make [1]

3. As pointed above, China is the bigger bad to India instead of Russia. It's better to keep countries neutral in a future India-China war

To answer from a personal point of view, I'm very, very old fashioned.
I believe that successful long term business only comes from providing
compelling value to customers, building loyalty and getting them to
willingly pay you for what you offer, not what you threaten to take
away.

Much of the "capture then exploit" thinking of the recent tech world,
walled gardens and the like, is anathema to me. Once you antagonise
your own customers it's a losing game. They will circumvent and
subvert everything you do, and good on them for being smarter and more
agile. In other words I think that whole mentality is wrong, and
indeed immoral.

OTOH, that isn't to say you can't build great business in other ways,
and especially within interoperable, free and open systems which also
add value to the whole world as well as bring you a profitable living.

So for me, "squeezing" is about using the fertile ground you create
through enabling freedom to grow something that's privately
profitable. When you don't have to worry about "protecting content"
and enforcing behaviour you can concentrate on creating value.

Such businesses are not super scalable, and won't make you a
billionaire, or satisfy investors. But they can make you a good living
and are potentially stable and sustainable. I know it doesn't fit the
cultural values of Silicon Valley, but to me that's the gold standard
of business.

Also my experience is that it isn't ones own customers, or peer
competitors that we need protection from. It's the Microsoft, Google
and Facebooks of the world who can steal your lunch with impunity,
write laws, break laws... they'll steal or destroy whatever they like,
so in many ways it pays to stay under their radar.
I've seen a lot of bad marketing copy, but this deserves to be placed on a pedestal of achievement for its tongue in cheek projection of how seriously they took the creation of such a funny thing:

Arizona checking in. Joe Arpaio is still in AZ politics in 2023.
What GCC is doing at -O3 is encoding even (resp. odd) numbers in a bitmap.

43690 = 0xAAAA = 0b1010101010101010

21845 = 0x5555 = 0b0101010101010101

Then

sal rax, cl
test eax, 43690
jne .L3

// .L3
mov edi, OFFSET FLAT:.LC1 // This is a pointer to the string "odd"
call puts
jmp .L2

is equivalent to C:

if ((1 << number) & 0xAAAA) {
puts("odd"); // x64 is little endian
}

So execution is constant time (it only needs to check against two constants), there's no loop.

It should be advantageous compared to a jump table because it doesn't have to do two indirect jumps (though you now have branches that might mispredict).

Edit: code formatting.
Software sold as a one-off sale can be, and usually is, very profitable. See e.g., most software companies pre-SaaS-era. This is in fact how most software was sold...and is still sold today.

SaaS is the plague on software development, because the subscription model demands a shift to constant feature "upgrades" and other frequently-useless "updates" intended to justify the perpetual subscription costs to customers.

India is assassinating people on US and Canadian soil. And more importantly, the US and Canadian governments are being very officially-public about it.

Let that sink in.

I'd be shocked if China isn't assassinating people too. They definitely have established "police stations" here and are conducting operations against dissidents and their families, but maybe it hasn't crossed into actual murder. If it has, the US and Canada aren't talking about it; they're barely talking about, or doing anything about, the secret police stations.

Holy crap, that's a lot of input channels, didn't know it was possible. I also have a Behringer ADA8200 that connect to the 1820 (ADAT) which gives me 16 inputs. I'll admit it's not enough to run all of my gear in at once and this is just a home studio. I can imagine 96 channels is very useful. Maybe 6x my setup would work = 96 inputs ;)

> How are you clocking the cards?

You are obviously more advanced than me, not sure what you mean here. I'm using the NI card basically just for the output and the Behringer for inputs, 24/48. When recording, if there is a latency (which normally Bitwig can "fix") it's just a matter of moving the audio a couple of ms.

Why do people not take RDBs seriously anymore?
Note the subtle shift - in much of SV and the corporate world - from employees as high-return investments that we want to maximize, as human beings we believe in, as agents that would change the world and be the source of our future growth and success; to employees as costs we want to minimize, as a drag on this quarter's profits, as adversaries in a low-margin power struggle fought without any higher purpose or moral. Where will the world-changing, paradigm-disrupting ideas come from? Have we given up on that?

Remember game rooms, 20% personal projects, sushi, etc.? Maybe some of that is still there, but it is a product of an attitude of a former time.

Now in business and elsewhere there is the tidal wave of a new zeitgeist. Working together; believing in, having compassion for, and doing good for others are all outré, often depicted as humanly impossible and ridiculed. Corporate leaders are humans and are swept along too, perhaps more easily because it flatters and enhances their power (also, SV corporate leaders are perhaps more versed in the power of CPUs than the power of zeitgeist, which requires understanding Shakespeare (et al) not LLMs).

The good news in this story is that the corrupt and misguided are easy to compete with, just like then-newer SV companies ran circles around corrupt, miguided incumbants that didn't invest in the future. You just need the courage of your convictions. Believe that people can change the world, and (with lots and lots of work and risk) they will.
