Marginal coffees are very different quality and value across individuals making this a poor metric. For yourself, unless you are actually giving up those coffees (which I think is rare among the people who use this phrase) are you really sure that you value it at that rate?

Even as a business, a subscription would be weighed differently to coffee money - you can easily scale the coffees up and down based on how things are going, this is not true with subscriptions, which essentially increase your fixed costs.

Coffees come out of very different mental budget lines to search tools.

That's the same argument as Americans gun violence. But that will never happen so...

Sorry for this argument but I just watched the George Carlin video...(and it was good)
600 seems high, but in actually fight to death with actual weapons I would expect more than half to die eventually. That is being inflicted with wounds that result death soon after the other person or then just infections.

Trauma medicine and medicine in general was non-existent compared to today. So any open cuts or large amount of bleeding can easily kill person.

> it means you want industrialization without pollution.

If we have the option of industrialisation without pollution, why are the corporations polluting the air in your example? Nobody pollutes for the sheer joy of annoying their neighbours. The issue we face in the modern world is nobody knows how to do industrialisation without pollution. Governments banning pollution has just stifled industrialisation. Industrialisation and pollution is a better equilibrium point for all of us than the slow choking out of industry.

The natural market equilibrium is typically fast improvement. Moving away from the equilibrium because the elites are inconvenienced by the side effects is rarely a good idea. I'll give you leaded fuels were a mistake, but by and large the anti-industrial policies have been more harm than good.
Do you have examples of your decompilation, and how it compares to state of the art that uses other approaches? Do you run optimizations on your generated LLVM IR to clean it up and canonicalize it?

Browsers, chat apps, social media apps, Outlook and all other email clients, Teams, Zoom, Adobe Photoshop (really!), DaVinci Resolve (a colorist tool ffs)[2], and on, and on...

Developers assuming that RGB is a triplet of 8-bit numbers and that maths can be naively done to those numbers is one of my favourite examples of the Dunning Kruger effect.[1]

It's such a rarity to see a tool correctly implement color management or linear light for transforms by default that it always jumps out as far out of the norm.

> animated 3D graphics

You'd think so... but no. It's a persistent error in 3D games as well, as well as 3D renderers like Blender.

A common question posted in game-dev forums is "textures look brighter/lighter/faded in game compared to Photoshop". This is because most image editors use the sRGB non-linear gamma, but the game engine uses linear light because it's essentially a physical optics simulator. Beginner game developers load the sRGB 8-bit pixel values and then use them as-is without first undoing the gamma to bring them into the linear light space. This results in over-bright textures. The Quake engine and its derivatives were notorious for this kind of thing, made even worse by OpenGL accelerators like the 3dfs Voodoo card doing more incorrect things on top of that.

Similarly, "Cinematic" mode in Blender should be renamed to "not broken" or simply "correct" color management mode.

[1] I'm guilty of making all of the mistakes I've listed here, in a 3D engine, a ray tracer, and several other graphics utilities. We're all beginners at some point!

[2] The "best" video colorist tool on the planet is not color managed on Windows or Linux. It outputs "whatever" to the screen and ha-ha... good luck. On a HDR screen, with HDR on, if you enable HDR in Resolve you get a washed-out incorrect mess. That just blows my mind.
Rizin[1] is also able to uplift native code to the new RzIL, which is based on the BAP Core Theory[2] and is essentially an extension of SMT theories of bitvectors, bitvector-indexed arrays of bitvectors and effects[3].

For arrivals, SFO has signs that direct passengers to a designated rideshare pickup area, and the rideshare apps direct passengers to a designated stall.

It would be possible to monitor how many cars are picking up passengers there with cameras, because non-rideshare cars would not pick up people there. It would also be possible for an auditor to spot-check with the Uber app and see if they get charged the fee or not, and whether the app directs them to the rideshare pick up area. From there it’s easy to see if a company is circumventing the surcharge.
Since switching to Clang more than 10 years ago, Objective-C, C++ and Swift are first-class citizens in the Apple development environment. You can mix Objective-C and C++ in mm files and it's a smooth experience in general. The actual language becomes less relevant when you have the same backend.
You said it yourself - "fake decentralisation".

Bitcoin is real decentralisation. crYpTo is a snake pit of scams, and fake decentralisation.
I dont understand why people are talking about charging times. You would think that swapping batteries would be a trivial fix for that problem. It could even be done by large batches of relatively-easy-to-handle battery packs. You could even preload all the luggage together with the battery packs in packages get hung/inserted in the plane from underneath in minutes.
Rule of thumb for home affordability would still price the person out of that home, even at 400k/yr. Meanwhile, the median home price in the country as a whole is 350-400k these days. SV has priced out even their senior engineers, which does seem like an issue for hiring.
I sincerely hope he is not experimenting with ketamine or some other concoctions the SV bros are on these days because it sure sounds like it.

This is clearly not backed up by how long it took to do ChatGPT and now a massive leap to AGI ???.
It is not, the whole "stateful app in a launcher" paradigm is very clunky and slow in practice and it can't handle files and incoming text in any meaningful way. But hey, they have an AI and subscriptions! This is what happens when you take VC money.

This is free will in essence. Making a choice is also choosing to not to do the alternatives. A person has to make peace with this to live without anxiety over life decisions. We are free at the end. We can completely change track if we really want. This isn't meaning to be streched out of physical reality if course. One cannot be an olympic athlete after a certain age, but can start training to be a good athlete at any age if that is the desire. Financial security is often a big limitation unfortunately.

OK, now I see, it does make sense. So it's more like a base functionality of bundling tarballs with software and dependencies PLUS a set of tooling for CI/CD preconfigured to work in such isolated env.

I actually like it a lot, would use it at work if I knew about that before. Not for fully airgapped envs but rather semi-isolated, where at least Internet access should not come as granted.

In her own words, and seems like its the way the company works, she had a 3 month ramp - which I presume is along the lines of training, mentoring, pairing, learning the ropes by example etc - and then let lose to get stuck in, which as she says has been only one month that overlaped a holiday period.

It sure seems like Cloudflare are just culling staff to me, or her manager has no managerial abilities and doesn't know how to give genuinely useful feedback.

If it was her performance that was in question, there would be a trail, maybe even a car crash worth of evidence to back up that claim.

I don't think she will have issues finding work, unless having high standards, conducting yourself in a professional manner, and fighting for yourself and for your peers are considered a bad things.

I think Richard Branson (Virgin) once said, "Treat your staff how you would like them to treat your best customer." - unfortunatrly that doesn't appear to be the mantra at Cloudflare.
That's quite the statement. What makes you so certain that we won't have AGI within 30-60 years?
What are you going on about? There is no ‘reasoning’ or ‘problem solving’ going on in real time. The professor is transcribing an already prepared lecture, oftentimes literally with the prepared notes in one hand and the chalk in the other. Real problem solving is a tedious, nonlinear exercise with many dead ends and start overs. There is nothing in a prepared lecture for a student to imitate.

So this is a great example of how to do layoffs wrong. Just tell your employees you can't afford them any more because leadership fucked up, don't lie to them that their one week of work hasn't been good enough.

What purpose does that serve?

Personally, I run WinBox on Mac and Linux to manage my Mikrotik router at home, either locally or through Wireguard
I think the author doesn’t realize that 99.9% of people with an m1 Mac don’t care at all about running local ml workloads. The people that do care about running local ml workloads have either a workstation with an NVidia card, access to virtual machines on the cloud with NVidia processors or some Apple computer with an M2 Max or similar processor.

Put simply, this isn’t a big deal at all. Most people are not ml power users and most people are using their Mac for web apps via a browser, local office apps, and something like zoom or slack.

Also, as an aside, Siri is mostly useless and I’ve never met anyone who uses it regularly. So whether it needs ml processing or not is irrelevant.
Shocking! New machines are ever-so-slightly better at doing new things! OMG

Is this what people have to tell themselves these days, to stay on fashion-driven upgrade cycles...? "Mate, I absolutely need a new mbp, what if Siri starts using a LLM and it gets 0.000001 second slower at replying that it didn't understand what I'm saying?!?”

I wish these bloggers weren't so keen to go along with FOMO-stoking vendors.

That's a European wide problem. Most great software opportunities are still clustered around the handfull of tehc hubs where big-tech, FANGS and VC funded companies have their offices: London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin, Stockholm. Anmywhere outside of that and opportunities take a nose dive.
I wonder how long these will be allowed to fly after first battery fire if they use lithium chemistry. It is one thing to move burning car around, but passenger plane on most airports? It could take hours or even days to extinguish one and move to save location. Disturbing the normal operation for the whole time.

So even if there is not loss of life, the disruption of operations could be too significant for many of the bigger airports to allow operation.
About 15 years ago I first heard that men generally have higher standard deviation than women over various measurable properties including IQ. I didn't know it was controversial until Damore's controversy at Google in 2017.

I still think it sounds highly plausible, since I didn't hear of any studies that would disprove it (links are appreciated).

If true it would constitute a benign at least partial explanation for men/women imbalance in some professions.

From the article:

The new study found pieces of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is what most plastic water bottles are made of, and polyamide, a type of plastic that is present in water filters. The researchers hypothesized that this means plastic is getting into the water both from the bottle and from the filtration process.
They missed the mark because "I'm sorry you feel that way" is the pseudo-apology equivalent of giving someone the finger. It's attempting to shift the blame onto the recipient for feeling bad, rather than the speaker actually admitting fault.
Makes me wonder what kind of progress they've had internally at OpenAI to be making such claims.

So far I haven't even seen any particularly useful or compelling definitions of AGI; it's usually handwavy, incredibly vague, or defined in terms of something else which just shifts the problem around.

The general sentiment I've gotten from following a bunch of AI researchers on Twitter is that we're still multiple key insights away from being able to build AGI. So either Sam knows something we don't or he's hoping to we get lucky in the next 2 years.

I hope he's wrong and we actually get AGI by 2024.
She hasn't closed one deal in the one month she's been with the company after training, does that sound like a reasonable evaluation period to you? Why did she not receive any feedback on that from her manager? If your layoff is a surprise to the employee, you fucked up.

> Brittney P. should be worried about her future job prospects. This video is now viral. I would think twice about hiring her.

If you would avoid hiring a person because they might expose your shitty practices, that says more about your practices than about the person.

Where exactly in Northern Europe? I heard the Finnish countryside is very affordable. If you can stomach the weather and isolation.
Do you see it too though ? It really feels like a social device.

I can’t help fall back to Musk. So much of his success is due to not only his own hard work, but plenty of others, yet he is absolutely wonderful at marketing it like it’s his own and we should hang off everything he says.

Even when he does credit his team, it’s brief and then it’s straight back to the hype show.

Of course I’m not suggesting the dude is a complete fraud, he is part of some brilliant things, but it doesn’t mean he isn’t taking advantage of it.

I mean it is a smart way of operating and it totally works. I just don’t think it’s
honest.

Sam Altman seems to operate by the exact same playbook, I’d say he is a novice player compared to Elon though.

That's part of their voluntary cooperation. They could also direct passengers to go stand at the curb like everyone else.
You didn't define AGI either.

How does the shared single core impact the application vs having a dedicated core on the original ESP32?

I've seen that work well in open areas where APs overlap significantly, but in places with walls where you walk from one bubble to another, it still usually takes to long for a device to figure out it should switch and then actually do it. I've never had a video call even stutter when moving between LTE cells, but on WiFi, calls sometimes drop outright, even when walking down a long hallway with many APs.

Say your service would cost an unsustainable amount with GPT 4 because of excessive prompting needed, or you need to retry X out of every Y generations.

You could eat the cost temporarily knowing when GPT 5 arrives you'll be able to cut down on that significantly.

Or you build a simpler product that gets a foot in the door in organizations knowing that you'll have an additional value proposition that's enabled by an incremental improvement in capabilities.
I’m a little sceptical of AGI next year. Even if pushed to its limit it’s just 2 years. I suspect some sort of shenanigans. Like, rebranding multi-modal AI to general AI. I guess, one gets to invent a new term if your model can, say, process text, sound, and video, let’s add spatial manipulation, too, just to differentiate from current multi-modal models. Or G might stand for somthing else than “general”.

Another aspect is that Altman doesn’t say any specific dates, even years. Two big step ups in two years seem like a little too fast.
Yes, it would be like aliens saying "hello". Trying to anticipate what this supposedly foreseeable future will be, is futile.

Raping virgins before execution was common. It had not occurred to me they did it to children too, although as I did know they did execute children along with their parents I should have deduced it.

The rape by executioners was a uniquely Roman twist AFAIK, but executing children to punish parents was not. For example, it was done to a traitor's family in 19th century Sri Lanka (repugnance at this helped the British overthrow the last remaining independent kingdom on the island). Probably many other places did the same.
Counterargument: most people are not running directly the ML workloads, agreed - however Apple implements them as features of the OS (like the new GPT powered text predictions). So it WILL affect the regular users over time as new features are not made available for M1 users.

This is so extremely stupid.

The risk potential is far greater for the bots that are provided with compute and an API as a commercial service. The businesses offering these services will also be uniquely positioned to connect their bots to more and more real world infrastructure.

Also, the "someone will make a bomb with it" never eventuates. You can find recipes for sarin on the clearweb. People exist that have studied at university. You can 3D print guns. People are allowed to drive cars.
Oh the doubts.. anyway I think you can be sure in that industry that this would be considered ahead, and not suddenly realized after the first fire.

Curious for reference for that it would take days? There seems to be a lot going on in getting better to put such fires out efficiently (despite the eventual advances in different battery techs also).
If it was such a no-brainer solution why nobody is doing it? Clearly there must be more to it.
The numbers they have to kill to be a problem are not billions, but hundreds. Some years back, the European Turtle Dove was estimated to only have 135 breedable pairs left in the entire country of Denmark - the approximately one million house cats in Denmark would only have to kill just 135 birds to make that one go locally extinct at that time.

Four billion birds isn't a lot globally, but cats aren't hunting geese or swans - the number to compare to is the number of prey-sized birds in a local area where they can be hunted by outdoor or feral cats to notable population drops or local extinction. You might just see "a bird" or "a dove", unaware that it's one of several dove types native to your area with few remaining individuals.

Cats are particularly effective/aggressive predators in that they hunt and kill for fun, without interest in eating the catch. This makes their impact much greater than it needed to be.

Now, you can then argue against that conservation is necessary - animals outcompeting each other to complete extinction is normal, and we also hypocritically domesticate animals and take them out of their natural habitats - but it is something we generally aim for by protecting species in decline, actively controlling and fighting invading species, and attempts to reintroduce locally extinct species, and we tend to use any deviation from the status quo as a measure for environmental health.

But that's not exactly an AI specific problem. If a society is very polarised and even violent on the fringes then this will manifest itself everywhere. The issue is no worse than with search engines.

The only way to avoid this is for the AI to be opinionated, which would obviously be very problematic in itself.
