Engineers objected and were ignored for the foam strike as well. What I don't know is how many engineers object, are ignored, and everything goes fine anyway. Maybe these are the only 2 times engineers objected. Maybe they get 100 objections for every launch.
You can't accurately describe Intel's 10nm disaster without mentioning that they were making a huge bet that EUV wasn't going to be ready anytime soon so they were trying everything they could to keep up with Moore's Law except using EUV. But some of the things Intel planned for 10nm turned out to be harder to get working correctly than EUV.

It wasn't simply the engineers going nuts trying to make a huge jump all at once. They were taking a bunch of unique risks in order to follow a different path from the rest of the industry. If Intel had planned to follow a similar EUV timeline to the rest of the industry, they would have been subject to the same risks as everyone else regarding EUV and probably could have maintained a moderate lead throughout that transition, with a worst-case outcome being that they would be part of an industry-wide failure to keep up with Moore's Law if EUV didn't work out. Instead, they ended up years behind.
And they'll add 14 years if you try to run. Gotta keep you looking down...

The article goes on to make a pretty good case that _nobody_ understands the laws around recovering game animals at night.
there's ai robots that can build a rock retaining wall, constructing pretty much anything will be done in 5 years tops.. AGI is 2030 at the latest. None of the things you mentioned cannot be done by ai or robots and easily I might add. Every one of them is eons easier than driving a car.
Can't read the whole of the article, but it mentions 2.3 million conversations in the first month of deployment.

I wonder how this will play out in a six-month-to-year timeframe. A month's enough time for the suits to say "look at all of the money we're not paying employees now!" but not enough time for customer service issues to bubble up into the zeitgeist. Considering Klarna's business is in lending I could see some regulatory attention here in the future.

I used to be a bank teller. There was a point of pride that when a customer called with a problem, a human answered the phone. Now, that was 15 years ago, and LLMs are pretty good at impersonating a human's presence, but when you have people unable to easily get to a human on something that can impact finances and credit ratings, that's not going to fly.

> not even an actual land war in Europe has been as effective as Trump's mean words in getting Western Europe to actually get off their butts regarding defense

Putin and Trump appeared to have played similar roles in increasing European defence spending, with Putin beating out Trump (but not by much).

Let's look at Ex-US NATO defence expenditure as a fraction of GDP from 2017 to 2020 in comparison with 2014 to 2016 [1]. On average it rose +13 bps, 1.43% to 1.56%, (p = 0.09, unpaired t-test). Not statisfically significant. Same for '17 to '20 versus '21 to '23: +12 bps, 1.56% to 1.69% (p = 0.13).

Looking broader, '14 to '16 versus '17 to '23, we get +18.6 bps (p = 0.02) for Trump. Significant! But if we do the same for Putin, '14 to '20 versus '21 to '23, we get +18.1 bps (p = 0.02). Also significant! (And uncannily similar.)

Seeing the above, I get why there is an impasse. The data support an insignificant conclusion for giving the entire effect to Trump or Putin with low confidence. They more significantly support giving half the effect to each. Given we're "crediting" (in the high-confidence analysis) '21 to '23 to both, and Putin's effects have manifested over just 2 years, that makes the claim that Trump did more to boost ex-US NATO defence spending than Putin technically incorrect. But only technically.

(Would note that a t-test for such data isn't really correct, so would take the above as casual calculations.)

This is a sociopolitical problem. Tax automation and make safety nets stronger so people don’t suffer for those who control the robots. There are more people with votes than those who would benefit from winner takes all with ML/AI.

In my (limited) experience, the inaccuracies are just due to amateur pilots/ATC not getting phraseology spot on and being more forgiving than the real world.

Sure, fine, whatever, just as long as it's not used by anyone else. Production code needs to be held to standards.
Hadn't thought about it this way before, but given that LLMs are auto regressive (use their own data for next data), they're sensitive to error drift in ways that are rather similar to analog computers.
This is the best advice.

The best impromptu speakers, who can carry debates and thrive on off the cuff arguments, in my experience were full of shit.

The issue is that every business operator relying on this overnight would have to shift massive amounts of capital into their legal departments to create a remediation pipeline, fundamentally shift their architecture to include permission first targeting of training information, and most importantly, the Courts would be instantly swamped with just cases dealing with this kind of case for years while lobbying would go on for years to cripple any such remedy establishment.

In short, what you propose is the abolishment of the click through EULA, and a return to exercise of contract law as originally intended. This kills the tech enabled business sector, because they'd essentially have to de-scale or die under an avalanche of judicial remediation.

The step from 7 to 5nm shrunk pitch to 85%, a mere 19% of marketing hype.

But the step from 2 to 1nm shrunk gate pitch to 93.3% instead of the suggested 50%, a large 87% marketing hype.
Or viewed as a shrink by only 6.7%, it's a whopping 600+% hype.

You'll find various explanations, but the most compelling to me is "because you probably can't see what's behind the lit-up deer when you shoot very well". Good way to risk hitting something/someone.

Not even that, it's just the Eurozone. So it's missing most of Scandinavia and the UK, which are probably the most 'techy' economies in Europe.
I love the reader view of Firefox; it's the best implementation and makes all the "web crap" go away to focus on content. Chrome had a good implementation of this hidden behind flags, but they recently neutered this "because ads" and, while Edge does a good job of this as well, Edge is too focused on helping me buy stuff or shoving Bing and related on me.
I would look at the law regarding use of trail cams, but I'm guessing it has to do with trail cams being in a fixed position while drones are mobile.
That's a really interesting tidbit of information about Idoru! It's certainly an interesting book so far, although I've been having trouble being truly sucked into books lately thanks to various life circumstances. I will say though, out of all the books of his I've read so far, I actually most prefer the writing style of Neuromancer. His writing style is much more sleek and refined in his later Sprawl trilogy books and Idoru, but there was something special about the hallucinogenic verve of the descriptions he used in Neuromancer and Burning Chrome that, in spite of the jank or perhaps because of it, made me much more jealous as a fiction writer myself. I deeply wish I could achieve that style, but I unfortunately have a pretty solidified authorial voice already — something in the latent space of styles between Lovecraft and Alistair Reynolds :P

The main takeaway here should be to avoid YouTube embeds whenever possible. YouTube is way overused just to embed a video on a website. I'm baffled it's even commonplace on marketing homepages, why would you want YouTube's branding on your own brand's website?

Just upload the video to GCS, S3 or Cloudflare and use the <video> tag. It's really simple. You can even add different resolutions/bitrates or formats or subtitles in different languages. Cloudflare can even do it automatically for you. But even a single dead simple MP4 works well for most use cases and still loads faster than the YouTube <iframe> player.

What are you talking about?

There's exactly one company that makes the machines that makes the AI chips.

There's exactly one company that operates the machines that makes the AI chips.

There's exactly one company (or two?) that makes the AI chips (which are feasible for training).

And the most powerful governments in the world are worried about these monopolies causing geopolitical/national security problems, and they pretty much can't do anything about the situation in the short term.

And to be eligible as a player you'll need hundreds of millions of dollars of funding to buy the hardware.

I don't have the numbers, but I'm pretty sure opening a car manufacturing factory 100 years ago didn't involve that much upfront capital, even accounting for inflation.

The planets have nice harmonics, so that rather than planet 1 and planet 2 having some irrational ratio (planet 1 goes around every 2.64782362 times for planet 2) it's round fraction like 1/2. When you string the whole thing, the lowest common multiple of revolutions is 54, so that only every 54 planet-1-years, realignment returns.

The researchers hypothesize that this is sufficiently improbable to point toward an embodied intelligence as the cause.

It isn't a lack of knowing this that's the issue, people have been advocating for these things since the 90's.

I had a similar question in mind.
Reminds me of Omphalos by Ted Chiang.
I think they meant fake as in "doesn't relate to any size of the transistors", as the gate/metal pitch sizes are e.g. 40 nm and 54 nm respectively for Intel's "7nm" node [0], even the fin pitch is 34 nm, so almost 5 times bigger than the marketing term would like to imply.

I agree with this sentiment, but I'll note it happens on forums/reddit/HN as well.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but I've lost count of how many times I've seen people say things that are obviously not great. They generally make sense in theory but not practice.
they also completely solve the range problem.
The size used to correspond to minimum feature size. A transistor consists of multiple features and used to be fairly planar with things arranged side by side more or less.

As it became harder to shrink the minimum feature size, they figured out other ways to shrink. For example various ways of stacking things on top of each other rather than having them side by side[1].

As such they could cram more transistors in the same area compared to a planar transistor, and hence you got the same effect as shrinking the minumum feature size.

Not sure exactly how they name things, but one could calculate what feature size would have been required to get a given transistor density using a plain planar transistor, for comparison.

You're talking about mapping floating-point vector representations, i.e., embeddings, computed by a pretrained LLM to binary vector representations, right? And you're talking about doing this by first having someone else's pretrained LLM compute the embeddings, right? Sorry, but that seems only minimally, tangentially related to the topic of running LLMs in ternary space. I don't see how your comment is relevant to the discussion here.

> is there a viable way to slow down or speed up orbits of rocky planets?

You can fly something massive near a target planet, while using some kind of engine to keep a distance. Gravity will do the rest. It may take some time of course, but all you need is to do maintainance on an engine regularly.

> Like, wouldn't they be shooting a bunch of mass out of their system to even attempt this?

It depends on a type of an engine. If you use solar sail for example it is not the mass but light will be thrown out.

> one could build a Dyson sphere, is that more difficult or less difficult than engineering a system like this?

Sphere seems to me more difficult. Not in a sense of energies involved, but from a standpoint of engineering.

Congrats on being an early reader, b/c I spotted this on a fresh read Monday morning and zapped it! [I'm a IEEE Spectrum editor] This is a problem that's got me the odd time before—when you've read an article so many times, and something somehow gets duped in the transfer to the online content management system, it's easy not to notice because you think you just lost focus for a second and your eye jumped back to re-reading the same paragraph, not that it's actually the same para twice. You get as many eyes as possible on articles to prevent this from happening, but every now and then something slips through, especially when you have a very atypical layout and structure compared to our regular articles, because focusing on those things is stealing cycles. So that one's on me!

I still use a dumb watch (the classic Timex Ironman Triathlon) when I workout sometimes or when I'm coaching and I just need a stopwatch, I have yet to see a smartwatch that makes a very good stopwatch. Even some of the exercise specific smartwatches like the Garmin Forerunners don't do stopwatch as well as a Timex.

As a coach I've been seeing a lot of smartwatches on kids lately that are maybe a little young for a smartphone, they seem to be the go-to choice these days for parents to keep track of their kids. That seems like a decent fit, by the time the watch dies the kid will probably be old enough for a smartphone anyway.
