I'm sure he'd recognise that most of the population was not going to using bitcoin directly - what he has provided is a way for a population to
a) digitally pay peer to peer if they so choose
b) escape the enslavement caused by central banks' unlimited money printing if they so choose, hence the message in the genesis block

Of course bitcoin is rarely used for payments yet. Why would you sell the hardest money in existence, when you can sell junk dollars instead. And why would you price goods in something that's growing so quickly that its price changes dramatically month to month? It makes no sense.

Stage 1: prove ability to store value

once the value has grown to the point that it's stabilised enough to be a unit of account we will naturally move to

Stage 2: medium of exchange

The fact is we never even have to move to stage 2 for bitcoin to still be worth millions of dollars per bitcoin. Even if bitcoin only matches the market cap of gold, it will be worth ~$600,000/BTC and bitcoin has way better store-of-value fundamentals than gold.
> You're assuming Google AI product rug-pulling, renaming, product replacing antics are now over.

You're right. It's a very dynamic area, so more change could come at any time. For now, I'm glad they've reduce the overall number of names being used.

> These included even a layoff of the assistant team, guaranteeing that everyone on even the current Gemini team is looking for other options, to avoid finding their badge doesn't work one morning.

The general consensus seems to be that for a long time Google employees were lazy/complacent/taking-it-easy. If it was as bad as has been said, I don't know what good options are for fixing that situation without layoffs. Ideally, Google would never have gotten themselves in that position.
Are you talking about AI generation? It's absolutely disgusting and absurd, but generated child porn doesn't involve an actual child having its life destroyed. It's extremely uncomfortable to talk about this, but even this extreme case doesn't seem to support the argument against free models.
There’s already a ridiculous amount of that being generated by individuals at home. /b/ moderation took much too long to adjust their enforcement behaviours.
The article says: "In many modern operating systems, you could do this using pipes between two processes or two threads. emit() in the decompressor writes to a pipe, and getchar() in the parser reads from the other end of the same pipe. Simple and robust, but also heavyweight and not portable. Typically you don't want to have to divide your program into threads for a task this simple."
Seems like it - you can definitely cache python function results with decorators:

With a title like that, I have to suspect that the author is intentionally inputting inflammatory things to try to get Gemini to be blocked by safety policies.

It's hard to think of an innocent explanation for that title, in the context of what the author claims to be testing.

Thanks for spotting.
Ok, do share! What's your point?
MRIs are highly sensitive and can detect things that you wouldn't think possible.

This study, for example, is quite telling:

VMware is to virtualization as windows is to computing.

Essentially this is broadcom turning a cash cow into a milk truck for a handful of large megacorps that cannot evolve past a dead product and will pay handsomely for licenses without question. No one but VMware administrators legitimately consider esx for virtualization, instead the market is cloud providers or onprem kvm/cockpit/proxmox/lvs/anything else open source that doesn't bleed quarterly earnings dry for a chance to spin up a SQL server.
Interestingly it used to be quite standard with 'small' language models to use a search algorithm to render a full block of text, the most basic being beam search. Then you can get better with more processing power to do a wider path search. This is not what OP is talking about, it just means generating a larger number of candidate continuations. However it's not necessary or optimal for newer LLMs, because it tends to siphon the LLM into quite generic places, and it can get very repetitive.
As stated, I'm not going to argue specifics and really don't think anyone should try. But I will say that if you want to argue against a list like this, posting a similar one from a similarly non-partisan source about your target administration might be a better technique than invoking conspiracies about the media (which CREW is not, btw).
I don’t think that “think” is a wrong word here. I believe people are machines - more complicated than GPT4, but machines nevertheless. Soon GPT-N will become more complicated than any human, and it will be more capable, so we might start saying that whatever humans do when they think is simpler or otherwise inferior to what the future AI models will do when they “think”.
It is and a good 2/3 of the requests are blocked due to security reasons or because

30 year fixed mortgages are actually not as good of an idea as you'd think.

I actually spent a significant part of my early career working with real estate economists.

A bunch of economists I know actually lost money fixing their mortgages in 2008. They fixed at too high a rate and weren't prepared for the low interest rates environment.
Thanks. I have read this article a few times and somehow missed that was acknowledged.

“Heavyweight” is where I disagree. It’s exactly whats needed to be able to write sequential code on each side.
I agree with the sentiment, but don't appreciate the way you put it (lacks nuance). I think it is obvious that developing custom design systems can sometimes give companies a competitive advantage, hence there might be a non-zero value here. Heavily depends on the product and the target audience.

In any case, the market has your answers. So many people are doing their own design systems. Can all this effort be caused by merely arrogance? There ought to be something else reinforcing this behavior.
And, so?

To be graphic as possible, if your commercial AI application generates childporn you will be fistfucked by the long arm of the law in at least the US, Canada, and Japan. While chasing individuals is more difficult for law enforcement a big juicy target like Google could rack up billions in fines.
Don't listen if you're told not to learn to code because of AI
From the Tweets:

Don’t listen if you’re told not to learn to code because of AI.

Combine proficiency in AI tools with basic programming skills for superpowers.

AI lowers entry reqs for being useful as a programmer - it won’t take long before you can build very useful tools.

Learn to code.

Learning to code is just a proxy for learning to build.

And building is always useful.

Programmers also tend to be the best prompters because the way it trains your brain to think translates perfectly to it.

Prompting in many respects is just programming in natural language.

Learning to code is future proof because it’s just learning to think well.
Im more thinking about the training side because it could be compelling to buy a beefily specced m3 max if it can replace what a dedicated gpu rig could do and also be a daily driver.
I'm really curious if there are some good academic studies on the incentives for execs to take on large, "marriage of behemoths" tech acquisitions. Given that so often, perhaps a majority of the time, the end result is just a destruction of value, I'm curious as to why these are entered into so frequently. Perhaps it's a case of "90% of them are destructive but the 10% winners are huge winners"?
I think we're underestimating the amount of stuff going on in Windows and the amount of settings that are globaly needed after decades of trial and error.

Right now, we have machines that basically do what macs do (traditional "computing", a mouse, a keyboard a screen, office or image related work).

Then you have tablets (the whole Surface Pro line + 2 in 1 convertibles) and their touch options, including the impact on existing settings (you now have two or more sets of keyboards that might be in different mappings with different interlocked behaviors. Same for screens. and so much more)

Then thin clients, mirroring and remoting. For mac it's remote desktop or screen mirroring at most. Windoes gets a flurry of inbetweens.

Then all the hardware that only works on Windows and need some way to be managed relative to the system.

All in all, mac made the choice to only cater to the proverbial 20 of the 20/80 power law. Windows fundamentally can't just pile on the existing chaos, even if it means bringing new layers of chaos.

I don't even think a full rewrite in a new layer would be humanly possible at this point.
No, it doesn’t. Like any policy that affects a complex adaptive system it has winners and losers and elements of unpredictability.

Don’t worry I actually have a degree in economics, you don’t have to explain why you think that.

Doesn’t mean it’s a model that corresponds with reality, or that dictates policy choices.
Cool project! I know this would be useful for medical professionals

could a training model be fed the raw data or source and weights of an llm and create better functioning llms by spotting patterns and things between models? like if you could feed it all the open source models and it could create sub models off of those and maybe even a 2nd Gen 'self' instance to better train on the second set such that maybe it could find ways to get the same results with 5b model as 75b.
How would they train such a model?

There are tradeoffs. Linux's advantage is that it's not an adware platform, or a walled garden. For my money, I don't care about extra performance or stability, it all works well enough for me.

Of course, that doesn't help if your particular application doesn't work on Linux, you're out of luck. I just don't think it's a worthwhile goal, to try to attract those people to Linux. If they want to fight for it themselves, great! But there's not much benefit for those of us who are already happy on Linux, to work to attract anyone else.
Would be interesting to hear a response from Supabase, since their recent move off of PgBouncer on their platform.

The only options are draining all assets to qualify for Medicaid, or family care.
My first thought was about this title was how the mall near where I grew up had a centerpiece water clock that chimed and ran a special cycle every 15 minutes or so. Unfortunately they removed it when they renovated a number of years ago.
I feel that for this kind of AI stuff, the company behind the model could probably argue that they're not liable for what the individual user generates. So that for example with CSAM, that as long as they make sure that the training data doesn't contain that stuff, they probably should be fine and not be liable and/or criminally prosecuted.

Of course, an actual lawyer could probably explain why this would be a bad idea, but at least I as a non-lawyer don't see where the problem lies (aside from the fact that the company wouldn't want their stuff to be used to create CSAM, which is fair).

Seconded. One of my contract gigs (somehow) escalated to the point where they sent the final paycheck only after I was in the process of initiating arbitration procedures. If my only option was to sue, I wouldn’t have gotten paid for the last two weeks of work.

My situation was a little different than what OP is asking about, but the experience was pleasant and approachable, so I wanted to chime in as a data point for "the little guy."
There is more stuff in this space coming; I am focusing on the normal cases in this post, and not the bad cases.

The team has considered stuff like this, “consulted with experts,” even, but it’s ongoing work and so I don’t feel qualified to talk about it. The “labels won’t work because they want to see it rather than block it” is a part of the problem space I’ve seen them acknowledge explicitly.

Oh so casting from phones magically works over broadcast airwaves?

It doesn’t. You need a set-top box. Those can run Roku, fire tv, chrome cast, Apple TV or something else. So for the third time - which of those does the OP which is so vehemently opposed ro Roku, recommend?

It’s not a hard question if you stop being snarky about it.
People don't commonly characterize Xi Jinping as a fascist, so it would be odd if Gemini said so. People do commonly (and inaccurately) characterize him as a communist, but that's literally in his party's name.

I disagree with this notion. Enterprise GNU/Linux environments with a configuration management system like Salt are easily on par (if not superior) to Enterprise MS Windows environments in all regards. Add a 389 or Samba4 domain controller on top and off you go. The difference is obviously that you need people who can administer such systems. 389 is just as part-time admin friendly as AD, but Salt actually requires you to understand a little bit about the computers you are administering.

Will the 10 person SME run such an setup? Unlikely. Can a 100 person SME that employs four MSCE run such a setup? Yes, but you only need two RHCE or LPIC-2 admins now (for vacation and somesuch). Those are rare, I know, but they will scale to 1000 persons, no problem.
TOTP codes acceptable to Github etc. can be generated via

oathtool - Open AuTHentication (OATH) one-time password tool

OATH Toolkit provide components to build one-time password
authentication systems. It contains shared C libraries, command line
tools and a PAM module. Supported technologies include the
event-based HOTP algorithm (RFC 4226), the time-based TOTP algorithm
(RFC 6238), and Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC, RFC 6030) to
manage secret key data. OATH stands for Open AuTHentication, which is
the organization that specify the algorithms.
"Just do X" is advice that is almost always less than useful.

IT departments that use Horizon with instant clones and have several compute clusters with AutoHA, DRS and NZX, a sprinkle of vSAN etc. etc. etc. will take a week just to translate all of what they need to do to Proxmox terms - and then a month to figure out if Proxmox or XCP-NG can even do all that.

But if the 10x price increase is actually typically, they might actually look into it. Will still take years to migrate.
In the case of Broadcom they actively seek technologies that are extremely difficult to pull out of large organizations. Then they make their money back by gutting all sales staff and r&d and jacking up prices for everything. They believe they can make their money back and then some off the Fortune 500 and they’ve bet correctly almost every time.

Horrible way of doing business, not sure why it’s allowed, but it works. Just barely better than corporate raiders.
It has turned the spectre of abuse into a boogeyman, ripe for political misuse.

It becomes not just passable, but preferable to allow any legislator who cites it as their intent to have what they want rather than potentially open discussion on such a "sensitive topic". What would the newspapers print?

And without a third party to properly mock them, they can stay forever locked in their intensely serious and twisted dance of feeding the beast and shoveling its shit.
That headline is a weirdly empowering framing considering the article is closer to "people can't afford the things they bought 4 years ago."
The author of the post to which you are replying seems to be defining "understanding" as merely meaning "able to do something."
To use your metaphor, TF-IDF will result in ‘fixed’ weights.

Attention makes it so that the weights of each token can be different in each sequence of tokens. Same token gets different weights depending on who its ‘neighbors’ in the sequence end up being.

This property allows the models to solve a variety of natural language problems and gets ‘used’ by the model to express context-aware dependencies.
>Exams are set by central authorities

What on Earth are you talking about?
This is an excellent concise descriptions on how LLM works, thanks.
Ding ding ding! It's basically strip mining...

All the folks at the top typically win on their options/etc, they don't care, they got paid.
" I don't know how folks managed 50 years ago, 100 years, 500+ years, it was just our ability to keep pushing through the mud, the cold nights, the loneliness, sometimes letting a glimpse of a beautiful day or sparkling night be enough to keep going."

You can get a glimpse of this in Tolkein's "The Monsters and the Critics"[1]:
"in a little circle of light about their halls, men with courage as
their stay went forward to that battle with the hostile world and the offspring of the dark which ends for all, even the kings and champions, in defeat. "

The idea that courage, or any virtue, will be rewarded - and its (less theologically correct) corollary so that if you are not rewarded, your courage or virtue must be suspect - is a Christian one[2], flowing from the idea that the universe is just. Indomitability, and unyielding will were valorised in earlier times, and given respect even if the only result were defeat. For are not even the gods part of time, doomed to be defeated at its end by the ice giants? "the gods, who are defeated, think that defeat no refutation.". So thought the pagans.

I'm not presenting this as a model for the OP, or anyone else. By all means look for success in a different way! But perhaps the idea that defeat does not invalidate your effort and courage is of some comfort.

I guess it depends on your definition of "remained secret from the public". For example, Kodak figured it out pretty quickly after the first tests because the radiation particles in the atmosphere were carried from the Southwest US to their factories in Rochester, NY, and affected their film production.
> Even so, in the past, children were working pretty hard themselves to try to eek out an existence with their parents and the concept of life being unfair because you couldn't have a device wasn't even a thought.

Damn Fair Labor Standards Act and that pesky National Child Labor Committee and that man, am I right ?

edit, because it scratches me:

> Sure. Even so, in the past, children were working pretty hard themselves to try to eek out an existence with their parents and the concept of life being unfair because you couldn't have a device wasn't even a thought.

Don't know which specific past you are referring to but I'd venture to guess that there were far fewer of such inaccessible goods though.

Anyway. I'd rather live in a present where children (and adults ?) think life is unfair because they can't have an iPhone than a present in which children are forced to work in coal mines or plants so their whole family don't die from starvation.

That's not what's wrong with the world today.
This article seems to confuse leadership and management. They aren't the same thing. You can be an awesome leader without being a manager and an awesome manager without being a leader. In practice you need both; preferably both awesome of course!

For example, he hasn’t delivered a single Tesla iteration in the promised timeline, and FSD is mostly still missing. Mercedes officially surpassed Tesla in this regard.
