The makeup mirror in my Prius C doesn’t have a light and every time I flip it open at night and can’t check if my mascara has smeared I do think “Damnit this car was designed by a man.” I had a similar thought this morning when I realized there wasn’t an outlet in the bathroom at the place I’m staying. I ended up blowing my hair dry plugged into a hallway outlet.

Of course the “this was designed by a man” is a short cut to express that there are feature shortfalls bc the designer could not conceive the need for these features…likely bc they don’t need or use those features themselves.

And other Apple restrictions. I've got a lot of stuff looking really good with this combo. And then I added a Brilliant (https://www.brilliant.tech/home?tab=system) Smart "Outlet", particularly for my living room, which has six can Hue lights, and a lot of ambient stuff around the TV - it's great for driving a lot of scenes, daylight, evening warmth, media (where the front row of cans are off), etc. But it could also so a lot more that would be nice (Christmas lights, which are off a smart switch etc.) - except Apple doesn't allow external devices to initiate HomeKit actions. So a lot of potential usability is lost.
> I'm not talking about going off grid, just energy price arbitrage. You still have the option of pulling power from the grid to heat your house, although potentially at a higher price.

It's not a different problem for the grid. If the grid is generating nearly all of its power from solar and wind and it's calm and cold and night, where does the grid get the power to run your heat pumps? Storage is not only expensive, it has finite capacity. On the coldest week of the decade when everyone's heating system is using 250% more power than usual, and has been for days, the storage runs down and then what?

I'm not so sure it's just being cute. Define a bright line difference between this API proxy and something like an IRC server. Fundamentally it's an RPC black box. Client sends a command and gets a response. How that response is generated the client has no way of knowing or differentiating. For the defense to fail, wouldn't you have to prove that end user C was a recipient of software from company A? How could this possibly be true when user C cannot observe even the existence of A?

Like, imagine this hypothetical.

Set up a server. For each unique client that exists, it proxies to one of two backends. One is wrapping an LGPL library. The other is wrapping a cleanroom non-CL implementation.

A given user will always get one or the other. Think of it as being assigned off the high bit of a user hash or something.

Which users have rights under the LGPL? Remember that half of them have never used the (wrapped) LGPL implementation, and NONE of them can tell which group they are in.

I don't actually see the difference as being that distinct from the long accepted fact that a program compiled by a copyleft compiler or running in a copyleft interpreter is not itself inherently copyleft.
Money gained minus PR cost has to be a big number for them to do it.
The one major exception to this is VR Gaming. I have yet to get Oculus Link to work on Linux and that kills off any hope of getting Steam VR games to work on the headset. I game almost exclusively on Linux, but do reboot into Windows when I want to run a VR title.

To be fair, the Oculus Link is also janky on Windows and breaks sometimes when they re-engineer the account system again and require an incredibly complicated and confusing linking/merging/re-synchronizing step that you just kinda keep doing until it finally works.

The only other thing I would add is that several games break due to missing codecs, but you can fix this by installing a Glorious Eggroll Proton profile.

The CNN architectures are really designed to operate on such small inputs, even if you run them on RTX 4090s. It makes sense: even with 224x224 pixels you would find it easy to identify the subject of an image. Having a 50MP image of a chair doesn't really help you figure out what it is, and even makes it harder if you're only looking at one zoomed in region of the image at a time.

"Not production-quality models" might refer to: Training was not done for as many epochs as you might want to achieve peak accuracy, or different quantization methods might yield better performance, etc. Or, it's just a disclaimer that if you decide to sell a product using one of these models, don't blame them if it is bad at detecting hot dog vs not hot dog.
What an absurd way to handle a layoff. Shame on HR, shame on leadership and shame on eastdakota (the buck stops with you).

- Random people she's never met delivering the message
- Person that made the decision not present
- HR with zero answers, completely unprepared, can't even tell what the performance issues were. Literally do not have the reason available for why they're firing them.
- All of 15 minutes reserved to lay someone off
- Information being communicated is contrary to what line manager was communicating

eastdakota presents this as merely an "imperfect firing" of someone in this tweet https://twitter.com/eastdakota/status/1745697840180191501. Words cannot describe how atrocious of a firing this is. An email that simply read "sorry, you're done" would've been better.

eastdakota, will you be firing the HR and exec involved in this blunder, for performance issues? I'm sure you're aware the kind of potential publicity nightmare they caused you here. Matter of fact, I'm pulling our ZTNA project off of cloudflare next week and looking for a vendor that has the decency to tell employees why they're getting fired.

How long until we find out cloudflare legal is chasing this ex-employee to "have a chat" about this video?

I would love to hear a reason why I shouldn't from now on scream into my network to avoid employment at cloudflare like a plague.

However, the cats differ from spiders.

They wouldn't exist in such large masses if they weren't bred and fed by humans.

Some people don’t always have a fast (or any) internet connection when they work. In those cases it can be nice to have offline versions.

I imagine this is useful for a lot of people around the globe. I don’t use the broader internet a whole lot when I work, but I do use the official documentation pages when I forget how basic things, partly because my memory isn’t great but also because I work on multiple languages and don’t always remember how they each do specific things like splitting strings, reducing arrays or whatever. If I couldn’t just go to the official language documentation’s I’d need offline versions.

It would be virtually impossible to fully review every construction drawing for accuracy, there are just too many of them. Nothing would ever get built.

Most jurisdictions will do plan review, but it’s not a thorough check of the engineering.

I would assume structural drawing sets are checked a bit more closely than say, the interior architectural drawing set, but mistakes still happen.

Plus, whoever was the PE of record on the structural drawings for the hard rock parking ramp will never sign another set, they’re done as an engineer, possibly they’ll see prison if they were negligent. That won’t bring any peace to the victims families, but it’s something.
Current LLMs have gotten better at this with each iteration without the extensive rote repetition of applying the algorithms following by additional training on corrections that we subject people to.

Yet, still, I think you overestimate the average humans ability to reliably execute even algorithms that simple.

I've had LLMs do that correctly up to far larger numbers than I've multiplied by hand. I could do it, but I'm not confident I wouldn't get sloppy and make mistakes without going back and reviewing my work.

I've also had LLMs execute algorithms most people wouldn't even understand. E.g. converting between NFAs and DFAs, or taking a grammar in an unspecified BNF variant abd generate grammatically valid sentences in it, or conversely validating a sentence against the grammar of a fictional language.

I think a whole lot of the arguments here assume a level of human reasoning well above average.

That's not to say current LLMs do not also have glaring blind spots, but so it seems to me does people dismissing their apparent reasoning out of hand because of assumptions about human abilities we mostly haven't tested.

> The claims he's addressing are, boiled down

As I said in my post upthread that I referred to, I am not arguing for the claims that Scott is arguing against. (I do say that Scott's "Reactionary model" is a better historical fit to the cases he cites, but only with the key caveat I gave about the final step, and that caveat directly opposes the claims that Scott's "reactionaries" make based on that model.)

I am arguing against the claims that Scott is making about his "alternate model". His article is not just rebutting his version of "Reactionary". He is making claims of his own. Those are what I am addressing. I have already explicitly quoted claims that he makes that are historically false. Those claims are what support his "alternate model", which his article is arguing for.

Once you get out of the wacky humanities courses and into the real world this argument falls apart. Look at the aforementioned UA incident.

Race is but one component of DEI and the easiest to reach for.

Yes safe landings and safe air travel is a privilege and DEI is a challenge to that. What's more it is but a single industry where public safety and product quality is being sacrificed for the religious dogma of DEI. Its a funny coincidence DEI is Latin for god, but fitting none the less.

The Personal Computer revolution was made possible by economies of scale in industrial manufacturing of relatively simple components. Companies made money by selling widgets to as many people as possible.

By definition, AI is only made possible by advances in massive computation capacity, which is easier to achieve and improve with centralized models. This is always going to be the realm of Big Money.

In a way, AI epitomizes the shift from XX-century economics, based on manufacturing, to a XXI-century version based on extracting rent from networked digital subjects.

Is everything in the world a little bit conscious?
Unhappy people with an inner voice have a grumpy crank personality as their inner voice. Taming and neutralizing that grumpy crank is the entire point of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy school of Psychology. They have a process called an Inner Dialogue Audit where a list of 10-20 simple questions are given, and you ask yourself these questions. If you answer "yes" to any of them, then your inner voice has a bias, is effectively lying to you about your moment to moment observations and thoughts. And once this bias is identified, it evaporates because deception known no longer deceives.
Artifact News Is Shutting Down
Not a designer myself, but who decides that a design is male or female?
Let me use this occasion for a quick review of her Wikipedia entry. I don't know anything about Crockford but her entry is the typical smear job written by some activist editor who is only concerned with presenting the subject in the worst possible light. This stuff and writing style has no place on a decent encyclopedia, and the persistence of these entries through the years is one of the reasons I'm fed up with Wikipedia.

Warning: irony ahead.

In the first line of the lede, Susan Crockford is introduced as "a Canadian contract scientist who runs a small business identifying bones and other items in scat of wildlife". (italics mine)

It's clear that the lady is just a contract scientist with a small business. We can picture her rummaging the scat of wildlife for "items", presumably keys or other small objects lost perhaps by serious scientists while doing their work.

In the "Early life and education" section, we're first told that she "gained her interest in the Arctic in elementary school" and that her scientific interest was stoked at age 11 when she received a dog for her birthday. It's sad how sometimes you don't live up to your childhood dreams and you end up rummaging in wildlife scat.

The education part then briefly informs us that she received a doctorate (of which no title is given, but that is specified to be in "Interdisciplinary Studies" despite being about evolutionary biology), and concludes reporting extensively on criticism of her work.

Then the "Career" section, divided in four small chapters, in this order: "Business", "Books", "Dogs" and finally "Polar Bears".

Then the article ends with a rather large "Criticism" section, which focuses entirely around the climate change issues. Almost all the references throughout the article are coming from a climate change blog or are related to climate controversies.

Advanced AI is obviously a requirement for an advanced military. These have never been technological problems. They are human problems.

Humans are primates that operate in hierarchies and compete for territory and resources. That's the real cause of any war, despite the lies used to supposedly make them into ethical issues.

And remember that the next time hundreds of millions of people from each side of globe have been convinced that mass murder of the other "evil" group is the only way to save the world.

Ultimately, I think WWIII will prove that humans really shouldn't be in control. We have to hope that we can invent something smarter, less violent, better organized, and less selfish.

I’m not sure in general, but I had a similar thought ~5 years ago when the new London Underground tube stock design was unveiled in the form of concept art. A few months ago they did their first press session with the actual trains, and to a layman’s eye, it’s basically exactly what was in the concept art. I’m sure there are differences for commercialisation and operational details, but I can’t notice them.

Concept cars are about the concept and not intended to become a real car for general availability. Whereas projects like this are typically fairly directly tied to an actual project to replace the rolling stock or a contract with a manufacturer. They may still be a little aspirational and need the details working out, but I think they tend to be much closer to reality.
