Indeed. It doesn't have to consistently work, be easy to modify, be efficient, be well documented, etc., and in general usually won't be since there is no reward for any of these. It just has to "prove a point" (read: provide sufficient support for the next published paper, with paper reviewers caring far more about the paper's text than any associated code or documentation).

Anyone who spends lots of time trying to make research-relevant code projects with solid architecture / a well designed API / tests / good documentation / etc. is doing it as a labor of love, with the extra work as volunteer effort. Very occasionally a particularly enlightened research group will devote grant money to directly funding this kind of work, but unfortunately academia by and large hasn't found a well organized way to support these (extremely valuable) contributions, and lots of these projects languish, or are never started, due to lack of support.
this is wrong. China cracked down on milk whistleblowers and severely repressed and harassed them, they stopped anyone from discussing the problem on the internet. Parents of the children who were harmed basically were told to shut up by the government.

Medicine is funny that way; if you allocute to taking some sort of medication then they will readily extrapolate that to a diagnosis. For example, my PCP had recently prescribed me some meds for no good reason. She had not ruled out other causes of a thing and she lied about the lack of side effects, so the prescription was written. Then when I entered the hospital within a few weeks, I informed them of the prescription and they immediately placed on my chart a diagnosis for the thing treated by that drug. I am confident that I do not have, and never had, the disorder they "diagnosed" me with. The hospital ran no tests and was frankly incapable of such a diagnosis on their own, so the only information they used was my verbal assertion that I was taking this drug. They didn't even see proof from my PCP. So be very careful about what you fill out in those medical histories, and be careful with your releases of HIPAA information, because they will get extrapolated and haunt you for a very, very long time.
A lot of interesting food for thought in this article, but I find the focus on parasites as particularly fucked up or evil puzzling. It seems like an aesthetic distinction, not a categorical one. There are plenty of vertebrate predators that will bring their young still-living prey to "play with" and devour. This seems hardly better, especially since the prey in this case is often much more capable of experiencing fear and suffering than a caterpillar or a snail.

It's also interesting to consider that fear itself is probably an adaptation that helps the propagation of DNA. The fact that animals and humans can experience fear at all tells us that we're not in a kind universe.

As one of the posters below mentioned, this focuses on attacks on AI systems, not attacks by (or utilizing) AI systems.

In general there is a concerning apathy in the infosec community about the implications of generative AI on offensive tooling and what it means for already overwhelmed defenders. Seems to be much more of a focus on protecting against prompt injection, etc which doesn’t make much sense when you consider there are many, many models on HuggingFace that can easily be fine tuned to perform whatever nefarious task you may desire - no prompt injection required whatsoever.

I think there is a correct perception that many west coast cities are shitholes relative to what their per capita tax expenditures buys in most other cities. It is an argument about relative ROI, not absolute quality of life. If I spend $150k on a car, I don’t expect a used Toyota Corolla.

Cities like Seattle generate inexplicably little public value for the extremely high per capita spending. It should be much nicer for the amount of money it spends. The quality of services relative to expenditure is not defensible. Many cities do far more with far less. I’ve lived in Seattle around downtown for a long time, but it is far from the only city I spend time in. If per capita spending was correlated with quality of city experience, Seattle should be one of the best cities in the world to live in, but I don’t think anyone would make the argument that this is the case. As with San Francisco, most of that taxpayer money is lit on fire with no accountability and no contribution to the public good.

This is similar to the observation that on the same stretch of highway, California somehow manages to spend 10x per mile as its neighbors for visibly and audibly worse roads. People have made jokes about it for decades because the contrast is so stark if you drive on those roads.

It is not unreasonable for taxpayers to expect better than what is available in other cities when they are spending several-fold what those other cities are to achieve, at best, the same results. It doesn’t have to be a total shithole to be grossly mismanaged. People in Seattle spend enough tax money per capita that their city experience is far worse than what they have a right to expect.

It isn’t a political issue.

That’s about all people pull out. Smears, unfounded and unsourced and decontextualized accusations, stories of lawsuits filed by what seem like bad actors looking for a payday, etc., no substance.

I'm usually lean to the side of "keep your government paws out of the business". But taxes aren't business - it's a governmental function, and there's no reason why the government who levies the taxes can't also produce proper documentation for it and make the compliance easier. There could be corner cases where it's hard to do, fine - just do the easy 80% and let the business take care of the rest. Let the business also be able to check it and profit if they find a mistake. If you don't believe The Man did it right - you should be able to download the data and give it to the same Intuit folks and see if they can do better. It's just adding an easy option, I don't see anything wrong with that at all.

Intuit would do fine with it - yes, they'd lose some income, but they have more then enough other business, both in more complex taxes and other ways of organizing business, they don't need to be able to fleece every single taxpayer. In fact, if such IRS system is built, they'd probably will make a good buck by providing added value offerings to it, just as they do now for existing tax filing systems.

Even if the system to do that costs double to the high estimate - let's say $0.5B per year, given the government projects are always over cost - it's still about 0.15% of the taxes collected every year. There's no reason why it'd have any influence at all on the level of taxes collected.

My attempted summary: it's mostly a matter of the window layout in VC6 giving the most real estate to Just Code, and also the hotkeys for common workflows (e.g. show/hide debug output) are simple.

Commentary: Modern MSVC tends to be more difficult to customize, whereas e.g. Jetbrains IDEs are more straightforward to customize in such a way as stb would be familiar with -- but, both MSVC and Jetbrains suffer from such awful performance (e.g. input latency) that it detracts from their usefulness as IDEs.
> Nearly all post-scarcity fictions depict societies in which all are given equal opportunity to realize their personal ambitions.

Which, as GP pointed out, is a social dead end.

If your opportunities don't depend on your parents' achievements, then your children's opportunities don't depend on your achievements. Even in a positive sense.

Which means that probably the most important motivation to achieve anything is gone.

Such a society would crumble to dust really quickly.

And, of course, equal "opportunity" just means discrimination based on factors such as innate ability, rather than inherited wealth. Which means that talent takes the place that wealth has in our society, but the basic mechanisms of power (and the resulting inequalities) remain the same.
> BUT - is there anything preventing Intel simply adding a ton of RAM to their cards?

The market isn't demanding it.

For gaming customers, modern games don't need more VRAM, 2k-4k textures can fit into 12-16GB of VRAM and 8k textures mostly don't improve the look at a 4k monitor resolution, unless these textures are stretched over large objects. With upscaling technology, Nvidia customers aren't running at 4k native resolution, so 2k textures do fine for 1080p upscaled to 1440p or 1440p upscaled to 4k. Gaming customers want raster performance primarily, assuming VRAM is above 10-12GB.

We will see retail demand for more VRAM when monitor resolutions exceed 4k, and this won't happen on a 1-3 year timeframe.

For AI customers, there's already specialized cards like H100.
In the first four hours following protein ingestion, the study observed a 20% higher rate of muscle protein synthesis in participants who consumed 100 grams of protein compared to those who ingested 25 grams. This difference became even more pronounced during the 4–12 hour postprandial period, where the muscle protein synthesis rates were 40% higher in the 100-gram group. Overall, this equated to a 30% larger synthetic response after consuming 100 grams of protein, as opposed to 25 grams.

You don't need the code even - though the code, as being already paid for by the taxpayers, should be available to them anyway - the rules are public, the data should be available to the public, so you can just reimplement the rules and see if you get the same answer.

Perhaps it’s true if you’re operating in an amoral framework.

The society I was raised in has aphorisms such as “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” and “love thy neighbor” as pretty basic tenets (not that they’re often completely lived up to). Pretty much every human society has similar basic rules. I like to think they’re meaningful.
Soft deletes. You can delete a package and it stops being advertised but a shadow copy of referenced versions are kept for anything that depends on it. NPM spews warnings when this happens.

The tweet actually reflects the culture of Carta, how they care about their customers and the experience I had when I used them. Carta was charging me $8,000 per year at the time I used them. I found an alternative that had all the features for 10% of the price (Cake Equity - https://www.cakeequity.com/ - for the curious). It took me multiple calls with customer representative to cancel my account because Carta did not want to automatically add an option for people to cancel their plan.

There are competitors that have (1) better product (2) cheaper and (3) better customer success. Nobody has to stay with Carta. Just move away, and you can get better service at an affordable price. I used Cake Equity, but I am sure there are other options available.

Hmm that's an interesting thought. You think that a post-scarcity society is impossible because the evolutionary urge to further one's genes will always outstrip the capacity to produce resources. That there can never be any equilibrium? Very Malthusian. Hopefully we can apply lessons from this article - that subtle social nudges can have outsized and hopefully beneficial effects.
I'd be curious to see if, in the 1-2% of cases where the linear probe fails to predict board occupancy, the LLM also predicts (or at least assigns non-trivial probability to) a corresponding illegal move. For example, if the linear probe incorrectly thinks there's a bishop on b4, does the LLM give more probability to illegal bishop moves along the corresponding diagonals than to other illegal bishop moves?

You’re likely right. Anecdotally: I don’t recall anyone actually using Windows 3.0 as anything other than a temporary runtime for, like, DTP apps, which was also how Windows 2.0 had been used much of the time. Otherwise, they’d be in DOS. Windows 3.1 was a little closer to an environment you could live in.

I don’t know when Microsoft Word for Windows overtook WordPerfect for DOS, but I’ll bet there’s some correlation between that and actual Windows usage.
What choice did the wasp have but to infect and inflict suffering upon the caterpillar? For through that suffering a hundred new wasps are given life, whose primary goal is to find other caterpillars and continue the cycle.

The removal of this form of suffering from the existence of the caterpillar would require the extinction (and associated suffering) of every living member of that species of wasp.

How can karma be negative to the wasp that has no choice but to act in the way it does by biological necessity? More generally, how does karma reconcile with any act originating from biology?

If every creature on earth decided to inflict absolutely no harm on any other creature, then the only option would be to eliminate all life from the planet.

Karma suffers from the problem of evil just as much as western religion.

> The program catches the error, notifies the user, tries to mitigate it and display the contents it can extract to the user.

As you will see once you do, that's also my way. Only if you encounter an exception would you exit. As you point out, and to which I agree, your scenario is not exceptional. It is correctly identified as an error. You literally state as such, just as I would.

Again, exiting is reserved for exceptions. Encountering an error is not exceptional. Encountering an error is expected!

No, because that's not the only part of the system that matters. This indeed would be useful and Nvidia sure is pushing for more memory (note that they are also continuing development on GPUDirect), but there are limitations. Strapping a SSD onto the side isn't really going to make things any better.

Nvidia's secret sauce is CUDA. AMD has been doing great, but they still got a long way to go here. They caught up on hardware, but that's maybe half the battle? If it weren't, you'd see ML people flocking to AMD for lower prices and simply due to availability.

It's not that these companies are stingy with RAM, it is that GPU RAM isn't the same RAM you throw into your motherboard. They do have differences.

If it were easy, trust me, Nvidia and AMD would both pile on RAM and charge out the wazoo for it. I mean... look at the price difference between an A100 40GB and A100 80GB. They're the same chipset and there's a 2x price difference. Though I should mention the 80GB version is faster memory too.
It might be the most fundamental but it's unlikely to be the most important. That award probably goes to all the things parents don't do, like drinking during pregnancy or feeding their toddler nothing but cereal and pizza for months at a time.

C has been deployed, since the 80s, in millions upon millions of life-critical systems with loss of human life due to C-specific errors close to zero.
