That's not the reason. Have you seen the size of the average kernel that can boot on just about any PC out there? It's 10MB kernel code and easily 100MB initramfs, depending on how many video card firmwares you intend to support. And that's on a relatively "standardized" PC platform, with generic ACPI/PCIe/SATA device abstractions in the hardware.

ARM has none of that: no standardized platform, no device discovery through bus enumeration, no standard VESA graphics implementation. Device tree is a consequence of the non-standardization of ARM devices, not the cause. You could easily have the devicetree in the phone's ROM (just like ACPI, but without the executable code vector) and have the kernel read that data on startup. But you would need a kernel of at least the same size as the PC kernel+initramfs; and unlike on PC's, on phones people still (somewhat) care about code size and performance.
Probably not, by itself, but I'm worried that the same interest rate forces that are breaking the commercial real estate market affect the stock & corporate bond markets, and that absolutely can drag you down as well.

The CMBS market is about $1T in total asset value. It's comparable to Bitcoin. It's significantly less than the $9T in residential MBS that caused the 2008 crash. So if CMBS crash is likely to have financial effects similar to a crypto crash (of which we've had several) or the drop in value of FANGs (total CMBS market size is about the same size as Meta's market cap).

The problem is that commercial real estate's woes are caused as much by the interest rate hikes as they are by WFH - notice that CRE (outside of certain locations like SF) did fine in 2020-2021, but now has really big problems. And the interest rate hikes absolutely do affect corporate bonds and the stock market, and yet have not really been priced in. Corporate bonds exhibited a "taper tantrum" when interest rates went up to 2.25% in 2018; rates are now more than double that. Most of this is long-term debt coming due 2025-2027, but if rates do not drop before then, we could see corporate bankruptcies and unemployment that make 2008 look like nothing.

Kagi is miles better than bing, google or ddg
What's the upside for Google? They get paid regardless with the injected top results as ads, as long as there's no competitor threatening their market share, the quality doesn't matter anymore.

They prefer to spend money to keep the monopoly going such as the Safari deal.
Does that mean novel writing would only be for those who are already independently wealthy? How would that actually work?
If it results in a less competitive (= less free) market, then yeah, it should be.
This is a clever trick, making out corporations to be the beneficiary - who is the real beneficiary? The one who prompts, because they can use the output of the model to solve their problems. In the meantime AI developers make cents on 100K tokens and are mostly in the red.

Why not put the issue where it is - it's a debate about public empowerment with AI vs incumbents protecting their copyrights. Especially for open source models - this situation is not about corporations. Yes, corporations are the ones with deep pockets and easier to sue, but that's just how lawsuits go, you don't waste money suing someone who can't pay up.

What is more important in the next decades - public empowerment or extending copyright to block training AI models? Can we agree to limit copyright to exact reproductions or should it cover all content generated from a model, even if when it looks different from all training examples?

I think going the copyright maximalist way will indirectly hurt creatives because all their works will be checked with the same tools we use to check AI. Anyone could be secretly using generative models. The AI attribution methods will reveal all sorts of things we don't like to see.
And it needs a high voltage I believe, making it potentially dangerous if broken
How much of this is google getting worse vs how much of this is the fact that people aren't creating content on the open web anymore?

People complain that you used to get forum posts, blog posts, and guides for specific questions. But most of those have long since migrated to reddit or other social media.

Not a fan of google but think we should examine the other side of the coin on this one.
The "gun analogy" is the parent saying the the government (who is supposed to be the only entity able to use force) is supposed to protect IP. You're saying the same thing.

You shouldn't say anything to anyone who doesn't respect copyright laws - or, rather, you shouldn't have to. Your tax dollars, and the entity that you authorize to be the one to use force where you live, should be able to say whatever you, as the governed citizen, want to say to the person who doesn't respect copyright.
A better example is drinking. Say a study clearly shows that low social economic status people drink twice as much alcohol as other people. This doesn't show that being low social economic status causes people to drink more. But regardless of that, if you wanted to date people who drank less alcohol, on average by dating only people of non-low SES you'd be dating people who drank half as much compared to if you only dated people of low SES.

I.e. if A is a reliable predictor of B, it doesn't matter whether A caused B or both A and B are caused by some other factor; A is still a reliable predictor regardless.

Because the internet is full of ignorant ramblings (moreso with the LLMs), and you have to be aware of it and detect it in order not to fill your own mind with irrelevant nonsense.

AI in Google Search: Circle to Search and More Updates
I'd say yes and no.

The last Prop 65 label that I thought a lot about was on a bag of Asian fried snacks that had high levels of acrylamide which is a real cancer concern but on the other hand there acrylamide in all kinds of traditionally prepared foods as well as "ultra processed" foods.

Before that there was the garden hose nozzle that had brass with about 10% lead because lead makes machining brass dramatically easier but on the other hand do I want to be touching a 10% lead object a lot or getting lead in my garden?

The microwave probably gets it because of bisphenol A in polycarbonate plastics which really is a problem, the exact extent of which we don't know. It might be the reason why somebody you know is massively overweight or why your sperm count is down.

So even though the P65 label is commonly about a risk people widely accept I'd be happier to get something w/o a P65 label than one with it and getting rid of that label would be a real incentive to improve safety just as RoHS has been. The difference is that P65 is a lot harsher.

If anything, the PFAS debacle has proved that the "you have to prove substance X is harmful" model is not effective in situations where X is one of 10,000 harmful substances... I mean if you replace Bisphenol A with Bisphenol B you are probably not making a real difference.
I guess you are saying that those failed? I doubt that. Since those types of runs are done all the time to improve accuracy.

Or more to point, it isn't like there was one-run, we take that as gospel, then run on past data, and failed, so models are wrong forever. They are always being refined.

And some of the longest range calculations, that were done decades ago, are matching. So what model are you specifically saying failed?
In many cities the "walk" only shows when the cars have a green light AND a red no-left-turn signal, to protect pedestrians from getting hit by left-turning cars.

In yet other cities and intersections cars in all directions are stopped and pedestrians in all directions are allowed to go.
I appreciate that the authors released code and weights with their paper! This is the first high-profile DeepMind paper I can recall that has runnable inference code + checkpoints released. (Though I'm happy to be corrected by earlier examples I've missed)

I don't yet see a public copy of the training set / example training code, but still this is a good step towards providing something other researchers can build on -- which is after all the whole point of academic papers!
I have recently heard about a case in Poland where a police officer was punished for not being professional. Something like a Ukrainian made a negative comment about "Polish police" when stopped for speeding or leaving his car or something and the officer responded with something like, "if you don't like it here, then get the fuck out to your country" and that got him some kind of punishment. I guess this would be unthinkable in the US.

Given the competence shown here, I doubt anyone approved anything. Most likely saving sent mail was a feature of whatever mail server they're using and it was a byproduct of the dumb decision to use an actual account for a "noreply" address.
In case others aren't familiar with the study[1] you're referencing.

Type erasure is an interesting discussion, because functional programmers love type erasure. Consider the function:

def foo[T](t: T): T

If the function is truly generic, then we know nothing about the implementation details of T. The only meaningful implementation of foo is identity:

def foo[T](t: T): T = t

From a FP perspective, T should be erased, and the programmer should not cheat and use reflection. The type signature should tell you much about what the function does.

I've used Scala professionally for the last 8 years. The tooling is fine, assuming you avoid exotic libraries like Shapeless. Compile times are fast enough that I don't think about it much, using IntelliJ incremental compilation. A full recompile of a micro service might take 30 seconds, whatever it is is not a big deal IMO.

> opening projects in an IDE like IDEA could take up to 30 min on high end workstations

This is insanely wrong. Maybe you are operating on experiences from 10 years ago? I have a new M2 MacBook Pro, and opening projects is quite fast. The first time you do it, it will resolve the SBT dependencies and index files. That can be done in the background, and is probably less than a minute for a typical project. Even my previous laptop could open projects quickly despite being 3 years old.

> the Scala data structures have been at least an order of magnitude slower than the JVM native ones

They are slower, but not an order of magnitude slower. Perhaps you are remembering the infamous email from the Yammer CTO that got leaked, but that was a long time ago, and the compiler and libraries have improved greatly since then.

But yes, in performance critical code, you can just switch to an imperative style and use Java collections.

I don't have time to explain the benefits of Scala features, but I'll just point out that other than implicits, many ML inspired features of Scala have made their way into modern languages, including Java, C#, Rust and Swift. Scala didn't invent those ideas, but repackaged them in a novel way.

Given that Google owns Chrome, the most used browser by a wide margin, I am surprised they don't leverage this to improve their search results.

The consensus seems to be that SEO has won, that experts are stuffing websites with keywords and the search engines are simply unable to figure out what is good content anymore.

So why not use your own browser to measure how people interact with a website? How long do they stay on it? Do they just scroll and exit immediately? Do they seem to have a hard time finding information? Maybe randomly ask people if a website is helpful or not from time to time. Then aggregate that info and score a website. This should cut down on website that have nothing but fluff.
There can be only one! The obvious endgame here is one person owns the world.

Something I've noticed over the past year or so is that I've been increasingly relying on talking to other people directly to answer questions or find interesting things, rather than relying on search engines.

> there is no mechanism for attribution.

What if there was?

What if I hand-painted an image (without AI) and God himself came down from heaven and explained to the world that my painting was derived 10% from my observations of the collected works of Lisa Frank, 3% from looking at Davinci paintings, and 87% a long tail of various sources. And then I sell my painting for $100.

OK. Now what?
Analyzing Procreate App Reviews with Painboard
I won't rehash what others have said in the thread (UX good, etc, all of which I agree with).

I explored switching away from Cron a few weeks ago because I use Fastmail for personal stuff, and the thing I found myself struggling to live without is the global shortcut for joining the current meeting. It feels silly to say, but I freaking love that feature.
The jist of what you're saying is in the Free Culture movement/philosophy, I think, and it resonates with me as someone who does not like what AI has done with copyrighted works but also dislikes copyright.

The "rent-seekers" is the problem. We collectively inherit and own our shared culture, but large corporations have always wanted to sell it back to us. AI companies are arguing they should have no limitations on their usage of the culture, but that the same shouldn't apply to them. Selling tickets to the commons is anti-commons.

Perhaps if these companies were themselves arguing for the end of copyright and IP for everyone, the conversation would be different.
Ok, thanks. I agree this is a concern that exists and is a worry for some. But I'm looking for concrete examples of what kinds of events and businesses are most at risk.

I feel bad for kids growing up today in some ways. When I was younger the web was smaller and Google was newer and working better. For the most part if it existed on the internet I basically just had to put a couple words in a box and I'd get to it within a couple minutes and there wasn't that much to go through if I wasn't that accurate with my search terms.

Now whenever I use Google to find even the most simplest of things if it's not a local business that has a Google Maps result the results are terrible and I would have to go through too.

I watch our kids and their friends do all sorts of other things to find things. This is one of the reasons for the whole "just put reddit at the end of the search" comes from.
Another article by wingnuts, extolling the virtues of trashing the place so they can have more...
At Auth0 we pitched ideas to my 7-year old. You should too
From Google's point of view, it's working exactly as intended. Once they've captured market share, there's no reason not to turn the screws and squeeze out every last drop of revenue. Google would love for the internet to consist entirely of ads. Other content is only necessary insofar as necessary to lure in people to see the ads. And in Google's case, just the hope they might find content is enough to suck a user into the ad vortex.

Perhaps this isn't a great long-term strategy, but that doesn't really matter because nobody involved is incentivized to think beyond the short-term metrics that determine their bonus/promotions.
Identity provider recommendation for B2C marketplace SaaS
I'm seeking feedback from the community on a good cloud SSO platform for my startup. The Auth0 Startup program looks promising, and I've had good experience with them in the past, but I know they can get expensive at scale - especially if there are a lot of free users. Firebase is my go-to for mobile apps, but this will be web-only. I've also used on-prem Keycloak and while powerful, I'd rather outsource identity this time.

For reference, here is my anticipated use:

A web-based (no mobile) B2C marketplace SaaS platform deployed on Azure or AWS as a containerized docker app. On the business side, I'm expecting <1000 "companies" that may have multiple users under their domain that are managed by a company administrator. On the "consumer" side, I'm expecting ~50k individual accounts. It must support OICD and authenticate with the major identity providers (namely Google and Microsoft). I'll also need to support authenticated API access using long-duration API Keys.
The YouTube watch history of any 13-year-old provides a handy counterexample to your assertion.

This depends, how many times does it need to hear the song to build up a reasonably consistent internal reproduction, and are you paying per stream or buying the input data as CD Singles - or just putting the AI in a room with the radio on and waiting for it to take in the playlist a few times ?
