Right, but I don't feel this is a problem with bayesian reasoning.

If you want to _convince_ people you are in the domain of psychology, focus groups, marketing, social engineering etc.

An argument being convincing is not the same as an argument being valid.
Bruce Perens, a major figure in Debian Linux, worked at Pixar for years. He was my officemate for a while when I was there in the late 90s.
Maybe if they would read blood oxygen levels legally, using IP they legally licensed, it wouldn't be a problem.

Labor markets aren’t totally efficient, but they’re also way more efficient, transparent, and capitalist than the healthcare system in the U.S. Enough, at least, for some of the “end run” around inefficient power structures you speak of, over a sufficiently long time frame. The most egregious counter examples are monopsony employers in small to medium sized towns with limited labor mobility - this is an edge case and not really germane to the subject.
„Can it be trusted?“ is the question many people will care about, when the awareness of the risks becomes higher. If this question can be answered without publishing the source, fine, but that would probably mean that publisher must be liable for damages from model output.
Why does the iOS app for Notion Calendar require signing in with a Google account? I’m surprised they don’t have an option to sign in with a Notion account.
We don't have that. Maybe we should, but we don't.
It is worth noting that not all vehicles with frameless windows require the glass to be retracted to clear the frame. It is mostly a cosmetic thing, but also, it is practically impossible to offer a convertible version of a car without it.

Yes, the problem is easy crappy apps are cheaper for developers even if they're worse for users.

The alternative "single UI framework" is "everyone must run the same OS".

As long as people keep buying/using crapware apps that's all that will happen. The fact that so many people are ok with that mediocrity is depressing, but that they do so while then complaining about things being slow is actively annoying.
> Entering my supercommuter era, I had visions of flying to New York on a weekday morning (8,500 points one way on American Airlines), spending the day meeting sources and filing stories

Not everyone can or will meet with you on a Zoom call. Often, journalists need to go to their sources.
"the project does not benefit from the OSS feedback loop" It's not like you can submit PRs to training data that fixes specific issues the way you can submit bug fixes, so I'm skeptical you would see much of a feedback loop.

"it’s hard to verify that the model has no backdoors (eg sleeper agents)" Again given the size of the datasets and the opaque way training works, I am skeptical that anyone would be able tell if there is a backdoor in the training data.

"impossible to verify the data and content filter and whether they match your company policy" I don't totally know what this means. For one, you can/probably should apply company policies to the model outputs, which you can do without access to training data. Is the idea that every company could/should filter input data and train their own models?

"you are dependent on the company to refresh the model" At the current cost, this is probably already true for most people.

"A true open-source LLM project — where everything is open from the codebase to the data pipeline — could unlock a lot of value, creativity, and improve security." I am overall skeptical that this is true in the case of LLMs. If anything, I think this creates a larger surface for bad actors to attack.
Arthur Whitney is showing how to build an array language using C in array language form.

AW is known for kdb+ which is often used in finance due to its extreme performance properties and ability for quants to quickly explore ideas.

Personally, to get a better handle on how array languages worked, I implemented KlongPy which is a python implementation of Klong, which descends from K (which AW wrote).

You have to play with this stuff to understand it intuitively.
Sure they do, and the moderators, but it's getting worse.

Quite a few of the sub-reddits I liked went to shit over the summer when they made the API changes. The replacement mods aren't doing the same quality work as the original mods. What were nice sub-reddits previously are memified and gamified garbage now.
Okay, but in your prior comment you made it sound like Apple had made public comments that they would allow Epic back on the App Store if they agreed to abide by their terms.

The issue is the last time I recall them saying that was before they terminated Epic’s developer accounts. That was a couple of years ago at this point.

So my question was not about any of that, none of it is new to me, my question was the following: how recently, to your knowledge, did Apple say they would let Epic back in the program? I tried searching around but I didn’t turn up anything recent, or anything from after 2021, but I don’t think Apple’s statements from before they terminated the relationship are applicable at this time, so I was hoping you could provide some additional information that I am lacking.
I just skimmed it, I'd say what makes this atypical is he's trying to do it on a budget. A "normal" supercommuter would be working as a consultant or something and have travel baked in to their pay, so they would not have to skimp in the same way. It's actually (unsurprisingly) pretty easy to commute if you don't worry about your budget. Buy a flight pass, find a regular hotel, and expense your meals. Maybe some people also enjoy playing budget traveller, I think that would make it unbearable.

Phrasing it as power makes it sound negative. As the other comment says, it could be a sense of purpose, or having respect (which is power but in its human form), or just keeping busy.

If I were a millionaire, I know I’d keep my work just to be busy. I know it because I’m a millionaire. And I certainly don’t want all those negative thoughts.
I root for this, but runnign LLM locally disqualifies a lot of workstations, for example laptops with integrated graphics.
15 of the 17 patents that they claim Apple violated have been invalidated. Apple is still appealing the other 2 so they could be legit or go away as well. If those remaining 2 hold up then Apple should pay, if not then Masimo is abusing the patent system.
This has so many negative externalities, and the only party really benefiting is Masimo. I understand Apple broke the law, but this ruling is only bad for the public.

* Apple Watches improve public health. Stepcounters, heart rate monitors, fall detection, etc etc. It's a tragedy that less of these were put out into the public, especially around Christmas/New Years.

* The Blood Oxygen technology has a much larger impact on the general public when it's in a widely distributed device like the Apple Watch. Access to the technology will be lower with Masimo.

* The quantified self is becoming more and more of a reality. The long term vision -- of having a better image of your health -- is something we should be sprinting towards. This is hurdle.
> You do understand if your wife runs off with the pool boy, she still gets half right?

Yep! And I still get half if I run off with the pool boy, so that seems fair.

> It's only really the breadwinner commitment that gets enforced, the supported spouse suffers little consequence if they fail to maintain their end of the commitment.

The “supported” spouse in most cases (especially if there are children) is performing significant amounts of unpaid labor. The fruits of that labor are generally intangible
and do not accumulate, so the spouse can’t take them with them in the case of separation. This does not make that labor any less important than the labor of the “breadwinner.” It would be profoundly unjust to allow the “breadwinner” to accumulate and retain all the fruits of their labor, leaving the “supported” spouse with nothing for all their labor.
I think a better analogy is firmware binary blobs in the Linux kernel, or VM bytecodes.

The LLM inference engine (architecture implementation) is like a kernel driver that loads a firmware binary blob, or a virtual machine that loads bytecode. The inference engine is open source. The problem is that the weights (firmware blobs, VM bytecodes) are opaque: you don't have the means to reproduce them.

The Linux community has long argued that drivers that load firmware blobs are cheating: they don't count as open source.

Still, the "open source" LLMs are more open than "API-gated" LLMs. It's a step in the right direction, but I hope we don't stop there.
Yeah, missed this one badly.
Haha! Infinitely far away (not on my horizon). Thought has crossed my mind, but there are so many other things I want to do first (e.g. audio, superscalar CPU, ...).
It's totally a failure of the platforms. Some of the permissions I've had to request from the Slack API to do the simplest things are insane. Not to mention the "justification" for requesting certain scopes. Like what? You want me to justify a permission that I have no justification for, and I only need it to do this other very unrelated operation.
Rolly! My dad worked with him at AVG where Rolly would consult in his post disney career, he art directed the LazerMaze that was a mall attraction IR gun robot shooting gallery you would walk through installed a bunch of places, Edmonton Mall, Sherman Oaks Galleria, Six Flags Magic Mountain, san diego boardwalk and a bunch of places. .

I think we may have the only parts of the thing left. It used an s100 bus computer with a custom designed audio adpcm board. Rolly designed the robots and the never built robot queen, before he passed I asked if he had any art left but sadly no.
I have come the conclusion that kids have basically gone from asset to liability over the last century. And even if they may not express it in these terms or have hard numbers to back it up, people know this intuitively.

In the 1920s there was no social security so having kids to take care of you in your old days was a must, expectations were somewhat low. You could get a lot of kids because making them all share one room was considered fine, they were expected to do a lot of chores, sometimes helping with the family's business even. Contrast that to today: we have financialized everything so you don't need kids, you just need someone to have them, not you specifically. The expectations are high: they need their own bedroom, you have to constantly be behind them (otherwise some busybody will call the cops for neglect), pay for expensive hobbies, tutor them so they can go to a good college (that you're expected to help pay for). Is it really surprising then that people get less or no kids?

Of course this quality over quantity approach may actually be a good thing, I certainly appreciate having been raised that way, unfortunately we have structured our societies to expect infinite growth so until we find a way to resolve these conflicting needs we will keep feeling the pain.
>Copyright is not a real thing. It's a fiction.

Maybe, but you can also say that about money or about being married. Social fictions work as collective agreements on what is seen as useful for society. One can obviously critique their utility, but pointing out the ficitonal component isn't in itself a criticism.
STEM students can't apply for internships because they are on site and will not pay for relocation, will not pay for housing, and rent leases rarely will do short durations. Most grads get those because their family+friends had the resources to help them be successfull. Living in a large city with stem jobs and having an extra room.

As housing capital is squeezed so is the nation. The trend is not improving, many otherwise successfully people are or will be homeless and written off. The haves vs the have nots.
> when teenagers were copying mp3s in their rooms for their own enjoyment it was piracy, crime, reprehensible, police, prisons, etc. When corporations are doing mass copyright infringement, we are talking about death of IP or changing the copyright laws to accommodate them

It's been over a decade since an individual was prosecuted for digital piracy [1]. Longer since anyone was threatened with jail time.

When it was new, both individuals and companies were prosecuted. The tides shifted and law enforcement responded. This isn't a story of different standards, but one of evolving ones.

Basically it is an APL-like language that is used (or was, I think it has moved on to a successor language called q now) in the proprietary kdb+ system used by some financial companies. Even if you aren't into finance it is a fun language to play around with.

We're not exactly tearing everything apart to combat piracy nowadays even though piracy still exists, so I'm not sure exactly what it reveals other than attitudes change?
Are they training it on music from top artists or their lyrics? Maybe they haven’t poked the wrong bear yet.
I think it’s sad that common sense traditions that work for the vast majority of the population are only acceptable in a religious context, lest they be forced to fit the demands and ideology of every small and intolerant minority, or worse, the profit motive of the life dysfunction industry.

It’s like, people have had religious tradition for thousands of years, and the anti-religion cult thinks they’re the first ones to question the magic fairy tales. Like, maybe there’s a reason for giving everybody a common basis of values to relate to one another, and maybe inclusive secular humanism has repeatedly failed for lack of premise. Maybe wise people got tired of the debate. Nope, sorry, can’t do that; god says no.

Secularism worked for me as an independent person, but failed miserably in any instance of disagreement over values that affect more than one person. Turns out that my personal values weren’t much different than those of any major religion, but wow, I didn’t realize how far off it would be from other people without religion. My guess is that the marriage program would do very little for people not in the religion, aside from possibly identifying a lot of reasons not to get married, one of them being that a lack of strong cultural grounding in values, such as religion, is a starting disadvantage to an already difficult problem.

I don't see how you've come to the conclusion that what you've described is normal and not an outlier (though perhaps common in a particular elite field).
This is why I love using obsidian. It's just a directory of markdown files on my computer.
I did something similar, moved rural in 2014, two hour drive away from contract gigs in big city. Rather than rent and then have to break lease on next contract or commute a long ways, I just did the van life thing for weeknights and had zero commute aside to and from home once a week. Then pandemic and haven't been back since with all the remote jobs.
I often hear of people using Obsidian or other feature-ful not taking and task organization apps creating PKMS (personal knowledge management systems) in then. They often state that linking things together, categorizing and organizing them well, and using appropriate tools to help view these associations that it results in... "realizations", or "understandings"? But I've yet to see anyone mention a concrete example of what they mean by this.

I can use my imagination to come up with some potential examples, but I'm curious these conclusions actually often occur or if people are just chasing some idea, when in reality they just get enjoyment from the organization process.

Either way, I use Obsidian lightly and am trying to refine how I use it, but I'm definitely not "there" yet. I mostly enjoy having a personal wiki basically of any information that I've researched or need to keep on hand somewhere. Main downside I've run into is that I'm not a huge fan of the layout / UI (maybe there's plugins for that) and tables are horrendous in it (I know they just added an update for them recently but I've already offloaded my table-style data elsewhere and I don't plan on bringing it back).
Sad. Why can't Notion just focus on fixing bugs and polishing existing product features instead of going crazy with stuff absolutely no one asked for?
I'm not a huge fan of DT, but I've also reversed an UEFI bios once and I absolutely detest that hot pile of garbage. Obvious insane MS influence, with e.g. too many GUID everywhere for no reason. Overall astronaut architecture with gratuitous phases. Humongous abstraction layers that are not even optimized out at compile time and replaces a single "out" instruction by object oriented crap with virtual layers probably involving GUID. Scope insanely large. Insane vulns over and over again with some that completely break the PC security model for years, AND hinder maintainability at the same time. Berk. That's one of the reason that makes me want to use Macs everywhere (well maybe it is just because I don't know enough how their bootloader is designed and it is actually worse)
In this case apple maybe should, you know, pay for this to be included?

>if not then Masimo is abusing the patent system.

I bet my money every single company out there is abusing the patent system. Apple famously patented "slide to unlock" and B&O's own scroll wheel invention for their iPod.

Everyone can agree the patent system is broken in many ways and leads to the sorry state of today where if everyone is abusing it and you don't then you loose out so you have to abuse it too, to stay in the race. It's a tragedy of the commons.
That would be 10001000 10101000 on repeat.
Money buys you the option to opt out of the things that don't bring you happiness and to go do whatever it is that does bring you happiness. For this guy, maybe it's "do another startup." Great! With $10M in the bank, he can just go do that! For me, I could quit my job (which does not bring me happiness) and maybe build a sailboat... or travel... or raise a family... Or whatever makes me happy. That's the option that money buys.
Fuck me. Congrats
Apple can afford to license the technology. They shouldn't be allowed to skip that step just because they have a lot of lawyers.

If we let Apple to continue doing this, it makes it harder for other companies to start selling the same kind of devices too, because they're at a disadvantage when they do follow the law.
Define “STEM” jobs
Sure, you can make a slippery slope argument, but there is something substantially more "fictional" / artificial / unnatural about copyright/IP than currencies and other social constructs you are equivocating with.

Storytelling is as old as language itself and might even be older than our particular species, and is basically copyright infringement. The same goes for tool-making, which is thought to be one of the sparks that gave rise to our species' vast intelligence. That's how imaginary copyright and IP in general is, let's take the thing we've been doing since literally the dawn of time, copying and sharing information for free and building upon and improving it, and portray this practice as "unnatural" and "unlicensed" and in fact let's set up a restrictive framework under which most of the technological and cultural achievements in human history and before would have been impossible or severely hampered. It reeks of artificiality, way more than money and other things do.

It was created by corporations to make it easier for them to form monopolies around unchallenged control over a particular intellectual property or idea, and now that it is becoming inconvenient for them with the advent of AI, they will probably get rid of it or re-invent it in some way that even further benefits them.

It also matters very little what we do because in the end we will be out-competed by other countries like China that don't draw these artificial intellectual lines that hamper progress.
> The Census Bureau reported in 2021 that a paltry 28% of STEM grads are working in these supposedly in-demand, highly paid and important STEM jobs. These include diverse sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and energy, but about half of STEM jobs are in computers, and tech firms typically complain the loudest of STEM shortages.

I’ve long suspected that the whole “STEM” education movement is a way for big tech to attach prestige-by-association to computer nerdery that’s mostly employed to sell ads better, then use that to improve their hiring pipeline.

STEM promise: progress! Science! Engineering marvels! A new age of exploration and advancement on all fronts!

STEM reality: we got you to confuse an ad for a search result 0.5% more often.

[EDIT] Since I seem not to have communicated it well, judging from the responses, I mean those two examples at the end as 1) What the "more STEM education!" movement was selling, by choosing to frame it that way, if not explicitly, (though, often, explicitly) and 2) What I suspect was the kind of work that the folks funding & lobbying for that movement actually had in mind.

I don't mean that everyone working in tech is working on ads, as some have taken it—rather, easier hiring for that kind of work was the point of the STEM push, to the organizations largely driving it. (I strongly suspect, to be extra-clear). I think it was sold as 1 because selling 2 would have been a whole lot harder, and more-closely associating programming with those other things isn't bad PR for the industry as a whole, besides ("STEM" as a buzzword has been incredibly successful in education—a whole generation now lumps all those things together, and they're working on a second, so, mission accomplished)
The thing that separates copyright from the other fictions mentioned is that there are pretty good reasons to think this particular fiction is not useful.

Property and debt have much longer histories and seem more clearly defensible.

Of course there is one really big fiction out there that a lot of people no longer really believe, but that doesn't mean longevity isn't a thing to consider.
It can end up being bad for both readers and writers in the long term.

If writers aren't able to find profit in writing then there will be less people spending the time and effort to produce good writing, which in turn means less quality material for readers to read (and, as an aside, less quality material for an AI to train on in the future).

We could arguably reach some type of feedback loop where less quality writing leads to less interest in reading, which leads to smaller reading audiences, which leads to less quality writing being produced, etc.

People do love free stuff, but free stuff often isn't sustainable under our current economic system.
