That banal question is in the original paper. The paper spends significant time explaining that this because this is such a simple modification they find it difficult to believe it's been overlooked until now.

The article's question "why aren't we SIEVE-ing?" follows this theme.

No one is asking the equivalent of "why didn't we invent cars sooner?" here.

The problem is that Twilio is not profitable. They wouldn't need to show a hockey stick if they were. Investor-subsidized, non-profitable companies have to sell growth to their investors because they have no other fundamental to point to.
I use Ubuntu on all of my work and personal machines. The reason I like it is simple: if you search "$PROBLEM ubuntu" you're much more likely to get a useful result than if you search "$PROBLEM $OTHER_DISTRO."

I used Debian for several years before moving to Ubuntu. The reasons for that move are twofold: First, I bought an Nvidia graphics card. Second, Ubuntu has newer packages. Sometimes I need a very recent release of something, and Ubuntu is far more likely to have that. I also like Snap as a failover from apt: the only time I use snap is when I run into a situation like this:

> shit, this package is broken and there's about 200 steps I'd need to adapt from ArchWiki to fix it. You know what? I'll just snap it.

I am strongly considering going back to Debian, though. I run a kinda weird setup on my personal machines (I start with Ubuntu Server, then hand-install graphics drivers, xorg, i3wm, st, etc etc) and a lot of Snap packages seem to assume I'm using GNOME even though I'm not.

What you’re saying here wouldn’t be illegal. What would be illegal would be for such an LLM to then sell the movie verbatim which is what ChatGPT does. We aren’t talking about a human, we’re talking about a webscale service selling access to copyrighted material which is illegal even if it was a human doing it.

Anyway, when we do get live training LLMs in bodies laws protecting humans still won’t apply to them. So such an argument is yet again moot and just exists to try and paint humans as less than human and actually, totally, just statistical models.

strace solved an issue for me today - logging in to a different account on my debian PC using 'su -l guest' would hang for 30s before letting me in. Interestingly, 'strace su -l guest' failed with a permission error during the trace so looked like I was stuck ('sudo' didn't help).

Until I opened a 2nd terminal window and did 'while [ 1 ]; do sudo strace -p $(pidof su); done' - that looped until I tried the login again, then attached, followed the calls and showed the delay was due to elogind and dbus; a quick 'apt purge elogind' then fixed the slow login.
Not OP, but their approach to devrel was by itself a huge differentiator early on.

We’ve become so accustomed to developer-oriented marketing and programs that it’s easy to forget that Twilio was really at the cutting edge of this movement and should be credited (or at least acknowledged) for the easy on-ramps most developer programs now provide.

Twilio also pushed the envelope in terms of what it means to talk to their developer community. Greg Baugues’ talk titled “Devs and Depression” reached a lot of people who were struggling, and was one of the reasons I personally sought out therapy, and my life is much better for it.

Early Twilio was a very human-oriented company, and I think many developers and developer programs are better for it.
Not sure what exactly ancient wiring implies but at 120 V this thing will draw 83 A to deliver 10 kW.

CORRECTION: It only draws 15 A at 120 V, the remaining power comes from the 3 kWh battery. So you have 22 minutes of 10 kW until the battery is empty, then you have 1.8 kW
What reason is there to treat them differently just because one's made of silicon and the other of carbon? Sounds like just plain ol' racism.
I would argue that true evidence (for a claim) can be defined as such piece of information that, when a third party is invited to examine it, they would arrive at the same conclusion as what was claimed.

Scientific evidence ought to meet the standard. If someone produces a video showing Bob shot Alice (let's assume faking the video is technically impossible), that would also constitute "true evidence". In that sense, I wouldn't consider witness' testimonies "true evidence".
No one would ever notice.

For what it's worth I currently play flat games on Quest 3 via Xbox Cloud Gaming (i.e. streaming) [1], in passthrough mode (i.e. mixed reality with the virtual screen floating in the air) using a PS4 controller paired with the Quest 3, and it's definitely very playable, if much lower visual quality than just playing it on a 4K TV (30hrs into Starfield at the moment). But I like it because I can take my giant floating screen in any room of the house or in bed and don't have to stop when my partner wants to use the TV.

I'm pretty sure this will work on day 1 on Vision Pro since Xbox Cloud Gaming already works on Safari with PS/XBox controllers paired to Macs/iPads/iPhones, and with the supposed higher quality display, passthrough, and user interface (the Quest hand tracking is insufferable) I expect it will be even better.

Given that the ships primarily being diverted are freighters / container ships travelling from the east to the west (and vice versa), it's not obvious why they should stop in Cape Town (since they don't need to refuel, and it makes no sense to unload at Cape Town).

So no major benefit to Cape Town.
You're missing the critical part where that human is also a genius alien super-prodigy who can recreate or recombine any IPs in seconds and then we made him available on the internet to everybody.

There’s also something to be said that sitting in traffic is life. At least as much as getting wherever you were going to go faster, likely to just sit there instead.
IMHO the issue is that masks work but masking as a social phenomenon can suffer a number of problems, like non-compliance, partial compliance, poor fit, children, misuse, reuse, damaged masks, cloth masks, needing to eat, and all kinds of factors. So scientific experiments in a controlled setting with one or two people show that masks work as a mechanism, but getting everyone to go along with and practice good masking etiquette might not work so well. So population studies show masks working much worse than their mechanism would suggest they can. Especially when there is intentional non-compliance and protests motivated by culture war battles.

Arguing with people who just spout "masks don't work" and then intentionally are non-compliant (and encourage others to) is like arguing with motivated idiots.

No, masks work, period. Masking only works if people freaking do it.

But they do in fact produce copies of their training materials. This has been demonstrated both with image generation (a targeted query will reproduce a very similar image to the one used in training) and in source code generation (a machine produced the source code of a program that it had been trained over).

> One issue might be that Microsoft (as ever) launched a milquetoast competitor that sounds the same to a purchasing department in 2020.

AWS (and presumably Google) also provides a suite of telephony services with Chime, SNS, Connect, etc. I assume the strategy now is to sell to/merge with a smaller CSP to provide a competitive portfolio of services.
Displays along these lines are how most of the high-ish end residential induction cooktops work these days. They’re generally very annoying to use and often laggy and unresponsive, but they generally do work.

So, you're literally a genocide denier. So is Ben Kiernan.

That's horrific bro.

Heinous semantic quibbles aside - 30,000 people have been killed. PEOPLE. Lives ended.

ZERO senior Hamas leaders have been killed.

ZERO hostages have been rescued.

75% of all homes have been destroyed, for 2.3 million people.

This result cost 11 figures.

And you and Ben Kiernan say you're not sure if there's enough intent to call it a genocide! Buddy, Israeli state TV have a bunch of schoolkids singing about "total annihilation" of Gaza. There's HD video of too many war crimes and atrocities to list. These people are filming unimaginable horror, and you're cherry-picking one genocide researcher's statment from 2 months and 20,000 murders ago. That's a yikes dude.

The list of genocidal statements from Israeli leaders is looooong - I already posted it. You dismissed it as "from an advocacy group", even though it's fully sourced. The less said the better about the UN?? Why - because Israel have killed more UN workers than any conflict in history?!

You are literally a genocide denier. You're helping ethnic cleansing happen. You are. Deny it, call it what you like, that is what you are choosing to do with your one life on earth. God help you.

>Also wonder how hackable it will be. I'm guessing if it's anything like the iPhone / iPad it won't really be.

Fortunately visonOS is a macOS fork, not iOS. The idea for Vision Pro is to be a fully fledged computer replacement, not a secondary mobile device like iPad/iPhone.

Should be about as hackable as your Macbook.

The legal entity owning the brain should be responsible for that brains output. That is, you should be responsible for the output of your brain and OpenAI for the output of its LLMs.

Seems simple to me.
The benefit of building it into an appliance is that the device itself is certified, and you don't need an electrical inspection for just plugging it in.

They mentioned adding a built-in outlet so that you could then have something else be on battery backup as well (fridge being the obvious application). I'm not sure if they ended up adding that for this version or not.
Among other issues, that paper is about VR headsets that use 60GHz antennas, which are much higher energy than normal radios. The Vision Pro doesn't have one and the technology has been more or less phased out.
I think that's what GP means, that this is appealing to them because others at 240v only aren't.

I'm not in the US so not that familiar (all my outlets are ~240v) with how it & appliances generally work and are marketed, but I assume the nominal 10kW is at 240, and that that drops (though it is still supported to work) at the lower voltage?
Not really... the container ships will be steaming right by, they don't need to take on supplies like 3 centuries ago.
I tried with async in the kernel first, but the cruft that was needed two years ago was not worth it in the kernel itself. The net I/O is actually async-first, see here: https://github.com/moturus/moto-runtime/blob/main/src/net.rs

File I/O will move to this model later (the current file I/O code is quite old and mostly a placeholder).
For most of my career, I was being hounded by various recruiters virtually every day.

For the past few years... crickets.

The trip is about 15 or so days, with the associated fuel costs. Granted, fuel costs are distributed across tens of thousands of containers, so the delay will probably be the bigger issue.
You're still focused on the Bluetooth, but that's just one tiny part of a larger pattern of Google ignoring the rest of the vendors and doing what they want. The death of the web, if it occurs, will be death by a thousand cuts.
Maybe the realization that it didn't lead to End Times back then, so such hystrionics this time around would be met with great rolling of eyes?
Back in the early 70s, I wrote software for the PDP11/20 (in ASM) to collect data from counters for accelerated particles. I recall handcrafting interrupt service routines to ensure they stayed ahead of the counters. And using paper tape to load the software after I hand-toggled the bootstrap loader.

For the next 15 years, I was an APL programmer, and later a Q/K developer. It would have been a hoot to use K was back in the 70s to analyze the collected data!

What a fun project! Bravo
Yeah definitely not a good sign for Twilio - the tried and true playbook will now get executed once again.

Fire a bunch of people, especially those that are most tenured and have the highest salaries.

Raise prices each quarter to achieve revenue growth with the assumption that customers are more inelastic than suspected and won't leave.

Doubtful that any smart acquisitions will occur, given that requires an actual understanding of product, customers, and markets.

The beginning of the end until some larger corporation, looking to grow their revenue base decides to acquire them.

End of an era for sure.
Twilio is in a weird spot. They are so cheap that it's very easy to build a successful company on top of their APIs, and choosing their APIs is a no brainer.

They probably need to go vertical and capture some of the value their users are generating to have the kind of revenue investors want.
I like Lenovo's Thinkcenter Tiny mini business PCs. Considering your performance requirements you might be able to get away with an older/off lease version.
But also:

Right, so your experience was that the dba team wasn't an enabling team but instead a complicated subsystem team. I would argue, and you seem to agree, that streams need to own their own database, some dbas don't want that and they get caught up performing all the toil on the databases instead of solving just the interesting problems that require their skillset. Yes, these things happen. You should be calling the dbas in (for example) when you need help configuring autovacuums because you have so much load on the db during ordinary operations that a poorly timed autovacuum can cause massive service disruption. Inevitably, some banks will come to view their accounting database as a complicated subsystem in and of itself possibly to the chagrin of the accounting application engineers.

A DBA performing execution of an index migration is usually not a good use of their expertise.
I think the opinions on the linked page are likely to be split across age lines. If you were active on the internet prior to 2004 sites like this one will spark nostalgia in many, however, if your primary experience with the internet starts with the iPhone, Facebook, etc then you will merely see poor design and ugly aesthetics. I'm sure this is somewhat reductive, but broadly I would suspect I'm correct.
If it was the other one, he'd be literally dead on arrival, so I guess that limits the potential confusion a bit. But yeah, I doubt he uses his full first name much these days.
See the last sentence of my initial comment
I'm envisioning more of a situation where a company adds text directly to AI-generated images, or otherwise somehow modifies them that prevents them from just being generic images, in the way public domain images are. I really don't think companies will just add images straight-from-the-generator without modifying them in such a way that prevents their easy re-use.
I could also buy 10 Android BLU F92 5G phones for the price of 1 iPhone 15 Pro Max. I won’t be doing that either.

All indications is that Apple will only be able to manufacturer 2 million of them. Is there any doubt those will sell out.

As far as how many people did it. Back in 1992, Apple was the number one seller of computers when they started selling “low cost” Macs. Apple didn’t start struggling until Windows 95.

Apple was more valuable than Microsoft until the mid 90s if I recall correctly

While Apple sold a lot less Apple //e’s than low cost Commodores and Atari computers, they were much more profitable.
Lead-208 is the heaviest "stable" nuclide, assuming proton decay is not possible, but it is not the only stable nuclide. Excluding isotopes like argon-36 (which has an energetically permitted double electron capture to sulfur-36) and not considering possible spontaneous fissions for those A>92, there are still 146 nuclides (all of which Z<67) that are stable.

Incidentally, astute readers that have picked up on the fact that Pb has Z=82 which is larger than 66 should pat themselves on the back and note that the 4 isotopes all have a yet-to-be-observed decay to mercury, with half life of >1.4×10^20 years for 204 and experimental lower bounds of >10^21 for the other 3. Theoretically, 208 takes >10^124, which means 207 is "more" stable.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the creation of the image is still infringement.

No one is going to sue a child over a drawing on a fridge, though. The PR would be a nightmare, there's no earnings to seize, and it's not cannibalizing the market for the real thing in any way.

Midjourney has issues on a couple of fronts

One is the direct infringement, ie who is the creator? Is it the AI for creating it or the human who entered the prompt? Whoever created it is infringing, but again, probably not worth it to sue Joe Schmoe over it.

The second is that Midjourney hosts all of the images they generate, some of which are infringing. I'm guessing they're trying to use Safe Harbor protections, but I'm a little dubious that they can actually call the output of their own AI "user content". Users are promoting the AI, but Midjourney is still the one generating the content.
Sure, but I don't see how that's a good response to the argument. It's not about "the machine's right to do something", but "my right to make the machine do something". That's what's at play, and what can be allowed or disallowed.
Did you just said I'm stupid? How dare you
Many of you will be well aware that you can't have a distance-preserving "map", that is a projection from the globe to a segment to of the plane where the length of an arbitrary path is preserved. Hence you can't measure real-world distances using string and a paper map.

That said you can preserve distance in special cases, for example any two chosen points. For example you can go to https://www.jasondavies.com/maps/two-point-equidistant/ and put your points at the Suez Canal and the Cape of Good Hope. While that still won't let you measure wiggly ship routes along the coast, it does a better job than Mercator.

Failing that you can use Gall-Peters which does a better job of conveying the vastness of Africa, since it's area preserving.

>Both humans and LLMs learn by consuming large volumes of text

Which is why child development textbooks are 10 words long. And LLM training is accomplished by people who have read a 10 word "how to". It's just that simple!

As well as his/her proposed solution requiring most of the current population to die first as non-fertilizer based agriculture (certainly local agriculture) is really unlikely to be able to feed all of us.
I worked at Twilio for nearly 10 years and it's hard to overstate what a gift it was to work there and see Jeff operate as CEO up-close.

He created an environment where (at our best) we could have fun doing work that had a real impact, and we could it with people we enjoyed doing the work with. He pushed us to be creative to authentically empower and inspire developers. Wanna build a video game that teaches developers how to code and use Twilio? Let's try it! Wanna build an AI application with Tony Hawk and have Tony Hawk debug the code live on stage? Sure!

And Jeff would always be spending time with developer tools and Twilio's products himself, to the point that he could live code at the drop of a hat to show off what we'd been working on. This meant his own understanding of developers and their problems never ceased to amaze me.

But more than all of that, he was a rare CEO that led with empathy, humility and care.

Thank you, jeffiel. We can't wait to see what you build next.
Movement is very important to our health. People who don't move as often just die younger than those who don't.

I don't know how it would impact our evolution long term.
Do we treat a car as human for the purposes of locomotion? Should we treat certain fluorocarbons as human because they can work a bit like blood? There is nothing racist in treating a machine like a machine. Just because a machine replicates or approximates something a human does, doesn't mean it is a human or should be treated as one.
Nothing more complicated than corn would be made anywhere by this definition.
