I think many people on both sides of the "AI is a bubble" debate seem to continuously carry the same misconception: that significance is somehow tied to merit.

On the "AI is just a bubble" side we have: AI is not as good as claimed therefore its impact is not as significant as advertised - ergo it is a passing fad & market caps are inflated.

On the "AI is legit" side we have the counter: AI is as at least nearly as good as claimed and/or has potential to be - ergo the hype is warranted & it's here to stay & market caps are warranted.

I'm in the third camp: impact is not related to merit, and AI is impactful in not-necessarily-positive ways that are societally transformative & will reach far outside any bubble & persist. Probably to a more significant degree even than predicted. And I think this extends far beyond the impact of purely economic knock-ons as seen with some latent impacts of blockchain speculation.

Given that third thesis I don't think the market caps are significantly inflated (beyond any other comparable market caps outside AI): investment is not merit based, it's impact based.
I learned some of this stuff being motivated by doing mods that interacts directly with game's memory.

I mostly build free-cameras, which allows you to detach the camera from characters, and for that I had to learn x86 assembly, some disassembler tools and how compilers generally work.

I think it's super rewarding because while you're seeing bits and bytes, and crashes, most of the day, at some point you can see you achieved something by being able to freely move in a restricted world.

I was surprised how far you can get with Cheat Engine. Its disassembler is really good, and you can do injections directly, if you then want to move to your own advanced stuff, you can build frameworks to do all of that using Windows APIs.
It is also possible to exchange difference between different location using patch file with the git commands 'format-patch' and 'apply'. Patch file are usually a bit smaller and can also be easily mailed.
Nope, search ads are still where they make at least 2/3rds of their money. The rest of their ad inventory has substitutes, search really doesn't (because they basically invented the category (grumble grumble something Overture)).
We have actually been using this at work and I can highly recommend it!

I have played through it together with my colleague in my free time about a year ago and we really liked it. We figured it would be the perfect fit for our electrical engineering apprentices, since they do learn all concepts of digital logic such as gates, registers, shift registers, counters, etc. during their educational journey but they rarely ever put a lot of it into a practical project. Also, a lot of derived things such as assembly programming are simply not taught anymore in the interest of time.

With some additional outside guidance, this game can really help people understand the working of digital logic components and motivate them to play around with them. The fact that you can go all the way to writing a simple assembly language and solving some puzzles with it is awesome and really motivated them.

These laws are (almost always) written by smart and competent industry lobbiests. The lack of privacy security is likely the point. I doubt very much that this was merely an oversight or they that they just hadn't thought it through. They got what they wanted.
> Do we have strong political will to create something like that here?

Definitely not. The CHIPS act is just BS. The only thing it does is funnel money into already profitable companies that employ global supply chains in the hope that it will compel them to "create jobs in the US".

Tragically, we've got deeper problems than not enough jobs. Public schooling in the USA has become largely dysfunctional. Major population centers have shocking, 3rd-world-or-worse literacy rates (like ~50%, not-kidding). You can't have illiterate folks in a chip fab.

This is the kind of problem that requires a "1960's space race" approach, but it just isn't going to happen anymore.
It’s the two on the right side.

Edit: Interestingly, these are also not wire twisted. I wonder if that contributed to the problem. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in on that. I thought all threaded fasteners needed to have safety wire twists on airplanes.

That's true, and Rust compiler speed has seen similar speedups from lots of 1% improvements.

But even if you can get a 2x improvement from lots of 1% improvements (if you work really really hard), you're never going to get a 10x improvement.

Rust is never going to compile remotely as quickly as Go.

Python is never going to be remotely as fast as Rust, C++, Go, Java, C#, Dart, etc.
This is (was) true, but only if the distant end has an identical or better aricebo pointed at us…

…several (or several thousand) years into the future. And even then tracking difficulties and the sheer vastness of space would make the chances of success near-zero.

Due to having a fixed dish with only a movable antenna feed the available look angles of aricebo are limited.

In all likelihood the aliens looking for us have a mega-aricebo in a random valley that is perfectly capable of receiving our signals but it is positioned one degree off-axis from the angle needed to receive us and they are as puzzled as we are as to why they are not hearing anything either.
Invading the next day, when weather was just good enough, turned out to be very beneficial. The German command was relaxed and unprepared (Rommel had gone back to Germany), sure the Allies would not invade.

The weather in the next month's window ended up being terrible as well (although one cannot say that if they didn't invade, the weather then would have turned out the same, due to chaos.)
I've been a meta-reviewer, reviewer, and author at ICLR many times (not involved in reviewing this paper).

The authors did not respond to reviewers properly at all! Dear readers, please do not do this if you submit.

Negative feedback from reviewers is good. It's the point of the review system. If the reviewers aren't going to give negative feedback, we need to remove them. This is not extreme negative feedback by any means. And had the authors actually been correct, they had a shot to convince reviewer, or at least an attentive meta-reviewer.

That being said, the instructions for how to reply are clear. Authors must respond to each reviewer individually. Point by point. And then engage in a discussion with the reviewers about their responses. They did none of this. It's the mark of a nutjob who wants to avoid being challenged.

Complaining about the quality of your reviews to your meta-reviewer is... poor form. And it does not make it more likely your paper will be accepted. We're looking for reasons to accept based on the quality of your work. The perceived shortcomings of reviewers aren't an indication that your work is good. Many meta-reviewers will tell authors to knock it off next time, because this isn't helping their case.
Can’t the happy path be branch predicted and speculatively executed, though? AFAIK V8 seems to do this: https://web.dev/articles/speed-v8#the_optimizing_compiler

Not to dunk on the author, but after reading a bunch of literature on it and experimenting with 2 asset bubbles myself, it's quite bad that people dilute the word/economic phenomena without any further research from the past.

What is happening is that we have a great fragmentation of technology due to its many barriers of adoption and commoditization, where everyone will surely try to ride their R&D teams and investments.

At the end of the day markets will pursuit the maximum edge with the cheapest price available (in this case Open Source models, libs, and data(?), and consumers will converge to the cheapest of the best network; so the most rational movimento for a lot of businesses is to bet in something that can give some positive returns instead to miss out and be eaten.
My teams deploy Python web APIs and yes, it is slow compared to other languages and runtimes.

But on the whole, machines are cheaper than other engineering approaches to scaling.

For us, and many others, fast enough is fast enough.

The ground plane is typically orthogonal to the antenna. Both TX and Rx antennae will have their own 'effevtive' ground plane relative to each other at any give point in time that will effect their Tx/Rx capabilities. Add into that, parking lots are full of metal objects and typically nearby large buildings. Those, also, will change the propagation characteristics of the general environment.

>> What is actually stopping you from opening your own version of Fry's or Radio Shack right now?

We had...like 4 Radio Shacks in my not-very-large town in the 80's. I don't think we had enough electronics nerds to support that, I wonder as a chain what the internal struggle was to keep that line of business going.

They had all kinds of electronics alongside it - computers, RC cars, tons of radios and stereos. but by the late 90's and early 2000's they turned into just selling batteries, cell phones, service plans, power adapters...

I don't remember when, but at some point a buddy and I went in there to get some resistors or something for a project, and they no longer sold them.

Given the lifetime of the equipment and the relatively rapid transformation our power grid is undergoing, there are probably few places in the US where a heat pump doesn’t come out significantly on top emissions-wise. With an entirely natural gas grid, you only need a COP of 2 or so to beat the most efficient direct natural gas setups. Ten or fifteen years from now coal generation will probably barely exist in the US and we will have another few hundred GW of wind and solar.
AI has seen so many hype cycles there is a term for it in the industry : AI winter.

The way phind operates makes sense. When writing an essay, it's good form to include a bibliography of the main works that influenced your writing. Similarly for scientific papers to cite prior art which is extended.
It isn't great, but perhaps surprisingly so using gas to create electricity and the electricity for a heat pump, is still a lot better than using a regular gas boiler. In other words, you'll get more heat out of a m3 of gas when you use it to create electricity and power a heat pump with the generated electricity, generally speaking.

So it is an improvement even if the net is 100% dirty. But it isn't, even in winter we can get a lot of electricity from renewable sources.

I think there are two big issues with heat pumps: they are expensive and require well insulated homes. Both problems can be solved.
A Brita filter will filter out something down to approximately 0.5 microns, and unfortunately microplastics get smaller than that:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8563659/#:~:tex....

Once it gets down to a certain size, micro-plastic won't be filtered.

So basically, and for clarity, my understanding is that microplastics get down to 1 μm, which is like .001mm and the standard Brita does something down to .005mm, so it can’t catch the smallest microplastics, but I assume it will help.
The financial economy feels like a python that consumed a giant lunch, and has that giant lunch moving through the thing in one big lump trying to get digested.

I think the primary issue is that during the pandemic we printed a bunch of dollars, and those dollars have been chasing a productive position ever since. AI is clearly a tech that is going to change the world, that much should be clear. But how do you invest in it? I guess throw it in Microsoft and Nvidia.
This is apples to oranges.

You don't need permission as a human, to read content if it's freely available. It was explicitly made for us to consume with an expectation of returning value. Mainly advertising.

Laws are (in theory) put in place to ensure a fair playing ground. If Company B requires content from Company A, but is causing financial damage to company A by using it, this is not fair use.

I'd also like to add the intentions. Even if we decide to quote the paper later in the day, I would say it's fair to assume 95% of readers do not intend to copy the content for profit.

OpenAI on the other hand is explicitly intending to copy the material to reuse into its own content in millions of generations for profit.

No metaphors needed.

> Apple’s limited warranty doesn’t cover damage caused by liquids, even for water-resistant products

If the product meets the advertised water resistance, damage caused by liquids must be caused by usage outside of that.

So, _if_ they can prove their product meets or exceeds those specs, I think it’s fine they won’t cover that under warranty, as long as local laws don’t force them to do more (in the EU, for newish devices, they’d have to proof that the device wasn’t already broken when sold, for example)
Two reasons:

1. Javascript is a less dynamic language than Python and numbers are all float64 which makes it a lot easier to make fast.

2. If you want to run fast code on the web you only have one option: make Javascript faster. (Ok we have WASM now but that didn't exist at the time of the Javascript Speed wars.) If you want to run fast code on your desktop you have a MUCH easier option: don't use Python.
I do feel like there are WAY too many people that don't take the tech seriously. I don't know if it is ignorance, hubris, or something else. Even though the stocks are hot, I don't feel like there's a bubble on the basis of bogus tech. The dot com bubble was a bubble because investors got into a frenzy, and invested in every novel idea out there - but the current AI/ML wave feels much more focused, like there's a clear path how people want to use the models.

I'm not saying that the models will make workers obsolete right now, but there are many white-collar jobs/tasks that will be seriously affected the next 5-10 years, all while the workers themselves envision a 20-30 year career doing the same stuff they do today.

If someone had asked me 5 years ago, if these things were possible, I'd react the same way - and say "Yeah, maybe 10-20 years from now", but for me that timespan has effectively been halved after all the progress of 2023.
If they were identical in all aspects, including cost, your comment might make sense.

I suspect there was more than one variable involved and so the entire idea that there is any correlation is flawed.

The solution is to fix those parents, as you mentioned, who are the sources of the problem.

They are the ones who can set up parental controls on devices, but don't. Or could not give unsupervised screen time to kids, but of course do, because it's convenient.

And of course fixing them would require changing a lot of things, like income inequality and funding a lot of family support programs, and in general shifting a significant chunk of the economy away from dumb shit to education. (By taxing the dumb shit and then using that as income.)

But of course a lot of those current parents don't want this either.
I had a furnace die and had to replace it last year. The hvac company was really down on heatpumps and said that due to the climate (doesn’t get too cold in the winters gets really hot and muggy in the summers) the heat pump would be less efficient than a traditional furnace and AC.

I like my hvac company so didn’t push too hard but wondered if this was true or just their inexperience.

There are lots of cases where execution times really matter. We use polars for exactly that reason.
Just curious if you're using it for gaming or other uses? I find it wild that $300 cards are the cheap end now when buying one for that 10 years ago was spending over 50% of my builds price on an upgrade part. Normally I find used eBay mining cards and run with them for four years.

What distro are you using that it worked out of the box? I threw my 580x on an ubuntu fork a few years ago and had a hell of a time getting it working.
could you just throttle the card down to 160W?
In the case of YugabyteDB, here is how we avoid "excessive number" of networks hops

- true Index Only Scan. PostgreSQL doesn't store the MVCC visibility in indexes and have to look at the table even in case of Index Only Scan. YugabyteDB has a different implementation of MVCC with no bloat, no vacuum and true Index Only Scan. Here is an example: https://dev.to/yugabyte/boosts-secondary-index-queries-with-... This is also used for reference table (duplicate covering indexes in each regions)

- Batching reads and writes. It is not a problem to add 10ms because you join two tables or check a foreign key. What would be problematic is doing that for each rows. YugabyteDB batches the read/write operations as much as possible. Here are two examples: https://dev.to/franckpachot/series/25365

- Pushdowns to avoid sending rows that are discarded later. Each node can apply PostgreSQL expressions to offload filtering to the storage nodes. Examples: https://dev.to/yugabyte/yugabytedb-predicate-push-down-pbb

- Loose index scan. With YugabyteDB LSM-Tree indexes, one index scan can read multiple ranges, which avoids multiple roundtrips. An example: https://dev.to/yugabyte/select-distinct-pushdown-to-do-a-loo...

- Locality of transaction table. If a transaction touches to only one node, or zone, or region, a local transaction table is used, and is promoted to the right level depending on what the transaction reads and writes.

Most of the times when I've seen people asking to store tables together, it was premature optimization, based on opinions rather than facts. When they try (with the right indexes of course) they appreciate that the distribution is an implementation detail that the application doesn't have to know. Of course, there are more and more optimizations in each release. If you have a PostgreSQL application and see low performance, please open a git issue.

I'm also working for Yugabyte as Developer Advocate. I don't always feel the need to precise it as I'm writing about facts, not marketing opinions, and who pays my salary has no influence on the response time I see in execution plans ;)
Many axis=1 operations in pandas do a transpose under the hood, mind you. Axis=1 belongs in matrices, not in heterogeneous data. They are a performance footgun. We make the transpose explicit.
This!

One could argue that humans will say "I don't know" when they don't know, but that ultimately depends on training. We currently don't have LLMs trained to answer "I don't know" (I suspect that in part that's due to incentives of focusing on something that looks impressive; one could argue that if an AI system too often says "I don't know" it's less impressive albeit it may be more useful since you can rely upon it more when it says it knows)

There are plenty of cases where humans are trained to hope they sound convincing even if they make up answers. I've seen a fair share of this done by students.
