If a huge state change like that is observed in hundreds of millions of people in a 50 year time period, I guess one explanation could be that they all independently and personally decided to inflict suffering on themselves. Another explanation is something in their collective environment changed.

Commenting to follow, curious about the answer.

From what I've found through Google (with no real understanding of llm) 2^16 is the max tokens per minute for fine tuning OpenAI's models via their platform. I don't believe this is the same as the training token count.

Then there's the context token limit, which is 16k for 3.5 turbo, but I don't think that's relevant here.

Though somebody please tell me why I'm wrong, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the training side.

OK I'm definitely weird and that's not Google's fault. Well, maybe a little.

No, the support situation is weird. You have to have a contract with some third-party company, in our case, SADA. You then send all your support requests to them, and if they deem it necessary, they escalate it to Google. I feel like we always stumped them and then a person with a google.com email would be cc'd and instantly give us a good answer. SADA was very chill, though. Pretty competent in general except for their weird account enrollment system (which I had to deal with any time someone joined my team).

The weird thing that we were doing was creating 100s of managed Kubernetes clusters a day. We make an open-source app that runs on Kubernetes and tried to have a cloud offering, and this provided the best isolation between customers. People would sign up, and then we built all the infrastructure for them from scratch. (The AWS way is to have the customer give you their AWS account ID, and then they would pay for all the infrastructure themselves. But for whatever reason, GCP didn't seem to have that option, and honestly our best customers were all too "new" to the cloud to have a routine AWS bill. So it worked for us, and whenever cluster creation was glitchy, GCP was happy to help us. What we were doing was unusual, but since we always paid on time, I guess, they were not mad about it or anything. I did offer to CC them on our cluster-creation monitoring alerts and they declined ;)

Anyway, what I thought was weird was that with AWS, AWS is your support contract. With Google, it's some other company entirely. That'd kind of weird, right? You buy something from Vendor X and then when the product doesn't work, you talk to Vendor X. But with Google, we were too small potatoes for them to be worth talking to us for. But if something got escalated to them, they were very nice about it.

(What's extra crazy to me is that I used to work on Google Fiber, and we had great support for people paying them much less than we were paying. Want to call someone and talk about how you're scared about viruses for 45 minutes? Google Fiber support would listen and assuage your fears, every single time. They were great people consistently doing a great job. Not sure why GCP didn't steal them!)
Quite the contrary, the world you envision isn't nice to think about at all. It's impractical, inefficient, wildly haphazard, and, worse than that, would produce the exact opposite of what you're looking for. The profit motive might not be aesthetically pleasing to you but it provides the vibrant indie marketplace we see today.
> these FAANGs should set up some way for folks to make money through curation of their content (patented, TM, etc)

Not sure what you mean by "patented, TM, etc". Other than that, I think this should already be possible from the outside e.g. by setting up a Patreon whose sole point is to provide a curated list of content from other platforms such as YouTube or Facebook, and already has a payment mechanism.

This hinges on the fact that content can be linked from the outside, but any approach will be subject to the mercy of the big platforms that host the actual content.

They need something. I've been trying to crack into this space for a better part of a decade. Ideas that come naturally to me that I spend hundreds of hours on end up being limited by ludicrous amount of art requirements to be considered acceptable in my mind to the public audience. I'm not interested in releasing an 8-bit (but looks worse somehow) pixel art clone of a popular genre. I want to make something truly interesting. Well, do you have a studio of artists ready to work for the next year or two? No? Well, good luck then.
Also having been in FAANG calibrations, even when people are at so-called "terminal levels" the performance ratings distribution rules still become a problem.

There are often team members that are at terminal levels, not interested in promotion, but doing well relative to their level standard (i.e. performing at or near the next levels). Those team members often won't be happy with a "meets" rating and still expect a rating and bonus multiplier above "meets."

Meanwhile, had they been promoted, they'd probably be a solid "meets" and another team member that wants/deserve a promotion needs those above-meets ratings too.

Ratings distributions usually aren't bound to just one single level, nor are they done with all levels as a single bucket, but within certain level groups, having a terminal level + rating distribution shaping is an issue.

There's a book called Freedom's Forge that I'm a fan of, it makes the argument that the Auto Industry (And assembly lines, mechanization in general) were the single most important reason the Allies won WWII. In fact all the big auto manufacturers of the time retooled their assembly lines to build tanks and airplanes. It's conceivable that if we never mass produced cars, the US wouldn't have had the capability to win the war.
Yeah, Flipper as a concept sounds cool but then I found out the current implementation is rather half-baked and comes with a lot of limitations. And the community is not that welcoming either.

One Example: you can get a "Home Equity Line of Credit" (HELOC) against your house, then use that money to do things, e.g., remodeling (the interest from such loans is in some cases tax deductible). The house you would own with a 3% interest rate is likely worth significantly more than the house you would own with a 7% interest rate, so the potential impact of a HELOC is higher.
2017 interview, https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/looking-back-at-chappie-wit...

It’s not about AI. Ex Machina’s about AI. Chappie’s not about artificial intelligence – it’s meant to be asking questions about what it means to be sentient ... That doesn’t mean AI, that means sentient at all. If you are sentient, if you are conscious, first of all, what does that mean? Because you’re watching the birth of consciousness with Chappie.

... The main reason for Chappie existing in my mind is because it has the most farcical, weird, comic, non-serious pop-culture tone, that is almost mocking or making fun of the fact that it’s talking about the deepest things you can talk about. The fact that those two things exist in the same film is what the film is about. Because that’s what the experience of life is about. It’s an unknowable question, and no one’s going to answer it for you.

Society can't figure out how to stop the most toxic, corrupt and incompetent people from becoming high ranking politicians so it makes perfect sense for the same kind of rot to be endemic at large corporations.

Rotten people gravitate towards power and most of those who aren't rotten are cowards who won't do anything to stop them because that'd risk their own careers or their own relationships with people naive enough to fall for the rotten people who are climbing towards the top. The only thing that fixes this is for a critical mass of people to find the courage to stand up to rotten individuals who are powerful or likely to obtain power soon.

> With their API they have to write a bunch of boilerplate code to transform from their SQL db to REST.

Open source tools that will present a simple, read-only REST API over an SQL db with little to no custom code exist (so do proprietary tools, often from DB vendors and sometimes as part of SQL db products.) Same with NoSQL or sorta-SQL storage solutions.

The idea that they have to write a bunch of boilerplate code to do this is false. They might choose to do that, but its defintely not necessary.

> Authentication, throttling, threat prevention, encoding, etc etc.

Again, open source canned solutions that take a little bit of configuration exist for many of those, and some of them are likely shared services that they just point at whatever service needs them.

Having fallen ass-backwards into a couple of promotions to positions responsible for managing (very) small groups, I don't consider it worthwhile - and that's without having to sell my soul by engaging in office politics.

One interpretation is as per the title "play the game or be the victim", my interpretation is "the only way to win is not to play". Office politics only escalates the higher you get.

As completely as I can commit to anything, I believe that any time spent on office politics is time better spent on almost anything else. Those who seek money, power, and influence may disagree to their hearts content, but I've experienced enough, personally and vicariously, to know that their opinions are from a universe I do not, and can not happily, inhabit.

The caveat to the above is that I'm in a position where I can provide for my family without feeling like I vitally need to sacrific any amount of who I am in order to give them "more". All needs and probably more than enough wants are met. Maintain the balance...

More accurately: C23 makes `static_assert` a keyword and remove `#define static_assert _Static_assert` in <assert.h>, so `#include <assert.h>` is no longer needed for `static_assert`. So the syntax was always supported since C11 but it's made more convenient to use.

One blind spot that I'm aware of is where you are, need, and point of service don't always align.

A number of companies are and have tried to build this. I myself did once in 2018. Alyc.ai if you care to look. We had voice, vision, llm, domain specific training (called fine tuning today I suppose), emotion detection, gesture detection, pose estimation, action recognition (ie. guy is drinking a beer), multiple stereoscopic cameras, microphone mesh, infrared camera (used for depth and night vision), and used nvidia chipsets (jetson) to run models at the edge. Other models ran in the cloud. Our LLM was about 2B parameters trained on about 800MB of Japanese data. Also our interface was a sophisticated peppers ghost (Today I would use lightfield displays) but it was fun. We didn't have RLHF feedback loops so Alyc was a bit complex. Still people loved her. Covid killed this project.

Also, demographics and other changes (in many developed countries at least) mean we really need more labor replacing tools, as there’s simply a lack of human labor supply in many areas.

Of course, if the labor replacing process is too rapid, then that could become a problem.
One major way to keep this out of your company is to come up with an interview process that can't be gamed or BSed. I suspect that people who are good at gaming their way through interviews are also likely to BS-ify your company.
Sorry people, I have not seen much tech in text, but huge amount of politics.

As for me this all smell not good, that LeCun feeling retirement approach and trying to become political figure. This is very humanness, as for tech person, 63 years are lot, but for political persons things are different, for example 66% of US Senators are above 60, and top 20 for age are above 71.

What are these places?

Outside of a research lab, even if you had infinite money and hiring power, would you even want to staff a company where "where every single engineering position is occupied by a bonafide, legitimate, super-genius"?

If you're doing engineering (as opposed to pure research) the reality is that there's always a lot of unexciting work. Your super-geniuses don't care to do that, what you need is people who are smart enough, but more importantly reliable and willing to keep showing up and doing the work even when there's zero chance it puts them on track for a Nobel price (or field equivalent).
