Yea I do want to know what the costing on this is. It's a bit hard to figure for BYD because:

(a) there's unknown government subsidies going on, and

(b) they mine and refine their own lithium and make their own batteries (also make Tesla's batteries too, I think). So their battery cost is... unusually low

Jon Stewart is the most legendary late night type host we have ever had.

I'm loath to be a Musk-ite, but I'd be a bit peeved if I was him and the article opens with 'Wealthy tech entrepreneurs including Elon Musk SAID they were going to be transparent but now aren't' and then took 8 paragraphs to point out that the only person they named as founding the hypocritical org was kicked out years ago, is now a competitor, and now calls it 'Super-Closed-Source-for-Maxiumum-Profit-AI'.

The press is absolutely addicted to blame, and any nuance that gets in between blame and the headline is relegated to the bottom of the article, far after the pay-wall. Oh well - I’m sure in a few more years this sort of tactic will be applied to Altman as well.

It's gotten so bad that when I read a headline implying hypocrisy, I'm actually more inclined to think the opposite, which is just as horrible a mental handicap as assuming it's correct!
The most extreme type of modern train theft occurs when thieves cut the air-compression brake hoses that run between train cars, thereby triggering an emergency braking system. When that happens, the engineer stays in the cab and the conductor walks the length of the stopped train, trying to locate the source of the problem. (Thieves can also stop a train by decoupling some of its cars.) Of course, if a train is miles long, that walk takes a while. In the meantime, the pilferers unload.

Way more brazen than I had imagined. I was foolishly just thinking these were people sneaking into train yards at night.
Because there's two conversations going on:

#1 is whether it's free and open in the ESR sense, the more traditional FOSS banter we're familiar with. You're right to question why people would be surprised that it's not FOSS. Clearly isn't even close, in any form.

#2 is about a hazy pseudo-religious commitment, sort of "we will carry the fire of the gods down from the mountain to benefit all humanity".

It was seemingly forgotten and appears to be a Potemkin front.

This is an important step-forward in establishing that publicly, as opposed to just back-room tittering, seeing through the CEO stuff, or if you know the general thrust of, say, what the internal arguments were in 2018.
> That was most definitely not the primary selling point of Chrome.

It was very popular, especially for people who did support or were the “tech guy” for their friends & family. Chrome had multiple nice features but the one which most frequently got people to switch permanently was not losing all of your work when Flash crashed. Not having to tell people that the big comment they’d been working on for an hour was permanently gone because some ad in a different windows crashed Flash lead to a lot of installs.

This was especially bad for anyone developing in Flash because Adobe was motivated to sell licenses and only cared about reliability to the extent that it impacted sales. Their vision was that instead of using web technologies you’d target Flash and run things maybe on the web, desktops, mobile, or set top boxes but always Flash. The problem with that was that they mostly focused on shiny new things which demoed well but didn’t spend money on QA or support. I shipped a couple of Flash apps in the 2000s where we hit basic bugs in their library code, and the support process was basically that you filed a bug report with a ton of details, didn’t hear anything back until the next major release, and then the issue would be automatically closed with a generic suggestion that you try buying the new version and reporting if it wasn’t fixed. $800 later, you could repeat the process as they never once fixed a bug even with a simple reproducible test case.
How can these failures happen so routinely? Whenever I think about the billions of dollars to go into these programs I always imagine that they go through multiple iterative prototypes so that they have something working at all times. It seems to me that would be a way to improve the chances of success at a likely higher cost to start with. But the department of defense does not ever seem to care about cost anyway.
React has not had a _stable_ release since June 2022.

They publish "experimental" releases on a near-daily basis, and have had numerous "canary" releases.

(to be clear, I've been pretty vocal about the lack of a stable release and the annoying versioning strategy myself. but React is very much _not_ "dead".)
Unsurprising but disappointing none-the-less. Let’s just try to learn from it.

It’s popular in the AI space to claim altruism and openness; OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI (the new Musk one) all have a funky governance structure because they want to be a public good. The challenge is once any of these (or others) start to gain enough traction that they are seen as having a good chance at reaping billions in profits things change.

And it’s not just AI companies and this isn’t new. This is art of human nature and will always be.

We should be putting more emphasis and attention on truly open AI models (open training data, training source code & hyperparameters, model source code, weights) so the benefits of AI accrue to the public and not just a few companies.

Since it's documents in question are those that are part of the boardroom drama it's at least understandable that they weren't released. I know it's fashionable to slag on OpenAI but I haven't given up hope in them. They've made a lot of discoveries public over the years and while it may be frustrating to wait on some of the releases they're still going to be released eventually.

If you bought into the idea that OpenAI was developing advanced ML/AI technology as a public utility, isn't that a bit on you? They don't actually owe anybody anything, and never have, so (a) the time to really hammer them on this stuff was a decade ago and (b) they didn't actually take anything from the public to do this, so even a decade ago they could have said "ok whatever" and gotten on with their day.

It would be different, maybe, if everybody else in the industry stood aside and let OpenAI monopolize development of transformer-style-AI (or whatever it is we're calling this) for the common good. But nobody did that; the opposite thing happened. This space has been a Gem Saloon knife fight just waiting to pop off for the entirety of OpenAI's existance.

I use an EdgeRouterX. It is also made by Ubiquiti but the Edge series is quite different from Unifi, seems more to be targeted at maybe ISPs, it has a built-in management UI and does not require (or work with) a Unifi controller. I also use a Zyxel switch with PoE to power the U6 Lite.

I think the main point is that it should not and does not matter what you use. You can mix and match anything you want if those devices work on their own and do not require any central management.

I do not need or want some Unifi controller and being able to look at data about my devices and being locked into their products, I just want devices that want that I configure once and forget about them.

Regular meetings and calls can't go over twice a week period. For me, it's one of the biggest reasons for unproductivity. I've worked on a lot of projects and the amount of meetings was directly correlated to how much everything was delayed.

In all cases, the people who pushed the most for meetings were the ones who contributed the least, and in fact had a negative impact. Nowadays it's a nonnegotiable rule from the start in our agency when taking on new clients.
it's governed by VC execs. No shit they're lying - their mouths are moving.
> How is this different from any other field of science or engineering?

The difference is that in most cases it is not so clear how well any given approach will work in a given scenario. Often the only option is to try, and if performance is not satisfying it is not easy to find a reason for it. Besides bugs or wrong model choice, it could be wrong training parameters, the quality or quantity of the data, and who knows how much more you would need.

It's not necessarily different from SWE, problem solving is a general skill, the difficulty comes from the fact that there is no clear definition of "it works" and that there are no guidelines or templates to follow to find out what is wrong, if anything at all. In particular, many issues are not about the code.
Lem is cool! But doesn't address what I consider a fundamental problem for Common Lisp adoption: lack of no-nonsense support for a familiar IDE. Lem feels like an Emacs, so the same people that won't use Emacs also won't use Lem... which is a lot of potential users.

It's low-hanging fruit because it depended on a bunch of mathematics and technology that Euler benefitted from: algebra, the printing press, and mass-produced paper. Sure, the Ancient Egyptians had papyrus but that is nothing compared to the volume of paper Euler had available to him.

Euler lived nearly three centuries after the invention of the printing press. He had vast numbers of books available to him and essentially unlimited paper to write on. He also had been tutored in algebra which remains the most important development in the history of mathematics. The abstract manipulation of symbols made possible by algebra is such an enormous leap over the geometric methods of the ancient mathematicians. It allows one to solve countless problems trivially in seconds which would take days to solve geometrically.

> If graph theory was low-hanging why did it take thousands of years since Sumer or ancient Egypt?

Because it wasn't low hanging thousands of years ago. It was only low hanging after an enormous body of foundational work was laid down over those thousands of years. And Euler knew all of it. It's no longer possible to know all of mathematics.

> every other batch of students in a math camp I'm familiar with has someone who has 'proved' quadratic reciprocity for themselves

This is exactly my point though: things get easier to understand over time as the more foundational mathematics gets laid out to prepare for them. Nowadays some of this stuff is considered basic. It's very "low hanging fruit" now, it's just that those summer-camp kids aren't making the discovery for the very first time. What point exactly are you defending here?

> Btw there are many contemporary mathematicians at least at the level of Terence Tao but for some reason haven't been blessed by lay popularity

I'm not sure why this needs to devolve into a contest. Terence Tao, Peter Scholze, whoever: they can't know all math anymore, like Euler did. That is ultimately why there are no more Eulers.
I'm not completely convinced OpenAI is not a public good. I've started using it at my company, we found literally millions in value... and it cost us about $60 in tokens.

> In particular I read this one: http://eulerarchive.maa.org/hedi/HEDI-2009-02.pdf [...] wrote this up in a paper https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/euleriana/vol3/iss1/3/

Neat! It's not clear that Euler ever realized anything about calculating an arbitrary binary digit, but it wouldn't have been too far a leap to get there.

For what it's worth, the formula (13) your paper credits to Hutton was also known to Machin in 1706. As was the formula about which Sandifer says "Without citing any particular formula, Euler proclaims that ...". The famous "Machin formula" just happened to be the one that Jones published along with an accurate π approximation in Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos, but Machin had worked out several others.

See Tweddle, Ian (1991). "John Machin and Robert Simson on Inverse-tangent Series for π". Archive for History of Exact Sciences. 42 (1): 1–14. doi:10.1007/BF00384331. JSTOR 41133896.

The transformation of the series for arctan to a faster-converging version which Sandifer discusses in the middle of that paper was first described by Newton in an unpublished monograph from 1684. See:

Roy, Ranjan (2021) [1st ed. 2011]. Series and Products in the Development of Mathematics. Vol. 1 (2 ed.). Cambridge University Press. pp. 215–216, 219–220.

Stewart is still considered favored, so he's going to take over part of it.
