It is interesting that you are demanding a metric here, as yours appears to be like duck typing: in effect, if it quacks like a human...

Defining "understanding" is difficult (epistemology struggles with the apparently simpler task of defining knowledge), but if I saw a dialogue between two LLMs figuring out something about the external world that they did not initially have much to say about, I would find that pretty convincing.

MS Edge is the most egregious offender, for me.

Thanks for that MS. It’s like they really do not understand what made Google Search so popular back in the say.

FWIW, I do think macOS is a lot better :-)

Also, the world of Linux GUIs really needs to pick up its game. They just never seem very good; accomplished, reliable, feature competitive.

Today’s Ubuntu UI/UX isn’t even competitive with macOS from a decade ago IMHO and for my use cases :-)
> Economists like Paul Krugman are using a SURVEY of people asking them what they spent (for a NON FIXED basket of goods).

1. What survey are you talking about? It's certainly not mentioned in the OP, and I don't have a twitter account so I can't see the prior tweets.

2. It feels incredibly suspect to paint "economists" as using this particular methodology, when "inflation" is usually synonymous with "CPI", and that uses a fixed basket. In fact your linked tweet even admits this.

Here are the key points I took away from the excerpt of "Pleasures" by Aldous Huxley:

- Huxley argues that the real threat to modern civilization is not external dangers like war, but the "auto-intoxication" of mindless pleasures and distractions.

- He contends that pleasures and entertainments have become progressively more passive and devoid of intellectual effort. People now soak up ready-made distractions like movies, radio, and newspapers without thinking.

- Huxley criticizes the sterility and sameness of modern distractions. The same movies and dances are consumed everywhere without local variation.

- He sees the proliferation of effortless distractions as promoting boredom, atrophy of the mind, and decline of civilization.

- The essay ends with a warning that the bored populace may eventually demand ever more violent entertainments, as happened in decadent Rome. Huxley fears we may "live to see blood flowing across the stage."

This is true to an extent but we have never really seen an information economy with a global labour scarcity. If we look at "advanced" economies with physical labour scarcities we see infrastructure deficits and inflation in asset prices.

Having worked behind a computer and behind hammers, saws, on ladders, et cetera I think that political/economic collapse might not be ideal. With that said perhaps my socialist history teachers couldn't overcome the immense power of British propaganda against revolution.

I don't know where to start criticizing this article.

Robin Hanson is [1]. He has 64 years old, is an economist with degrees in top universities yet he writes: "While my stamina and raw speed or intensity of thought is probably declining with age", probably? I can support this error from a random article but not from a polymath and scientist.

It continues with simple proofreading errors (I am not an English native speaker!) such as "Furthermore, I better know roughly want to expect re what sorts of connections won’t yet have been found, which are how valuable, and what it would take to test them or get folks to listen about them".

Then, his core assumption that "... polymaths peak later in life might be a bit discouraging news to young polymaths". Are polymath a homogeneus group? Has he done his research? Just going to the Wikipedia page about polymaths [2] falsifies his claim.

Where does the leverage lie with breaking down ISP monopolies? Is it a product of regulation at the municipal level, or state laws, or federal regulations?

It doesn't seem like a situation that's going to be improved by consumers complaining about the ISPs. For example, Comcast is consistently derided for poor service and has ranked as one of the most unpopular brands in the US as early as 2010.

Is there even a prospect of competition if the regulatory picture changed, or is it just too capital-intensive to roll out new infrastructure and bring a competing service to market?
I hear this take often - particularly on HN - and I think that it is well off base IME. For many small + medium sized companies, sure, this can be true. For a scaled org with 10s or even 100s of teams building UI having an internal design system aligned perfectly with brand/marketing/content/accessibility makes a ton of sense.

It's not about reinventing the wheel out of ego. It's about "We have 150 dev teams and want to make sure there's a documented way that our company is aligned upon for building things like forms for our customers". How should the company consistently apply error states? What a11y affordances are we baking into our UI? Radix and shadcn provide much of that out of the box, are they doing it in such a way that complies with our internal controls?

Maybe for some managers it's about ego and ownership above all else. Yes, those teams probably should be using MUI, or a themed Radix, or something. But those managers are going to suck no matter what.

> Python was created in 1991; I imagine the "yield" keyword appeared either right then or not much later!

Nope. It was introduced 10 years later, as part of PEP 255, released in Python 2.2.
Grocery store greedflation could be seen as collective producer discovery of demand curves, by dramatically spiking list prices and then slowly lowering them to find a new equilibrium above the previous stable price.

See grocery stores where 30% price increases in perishable goods lead to items sitting on the shelf until near expiry, then going "on sale" close to the original price. Over time, higher list prices are slowly reduced, in search of an optimal price to maximize revenue.

This manipulation only works when there are no defectors in the pricing cartel, otherwise non-gouging producers happily accept new customers and market share that may never return to producers enamored with algorithmic discovery of price-vs-demand curves.

What software is being used for revenue management of perishable food products? Are the algorithms similar to the software used to manage sales of perishable airline seats and "unbundling" of related benefits like seating and baggage? In a cyberpunk novel, consumers would wield OSS price discovery.
It should be different in the US because augmenting the flow of information to manipulate behavior goes against the foundational principles that the US holds and represents. We expect Russia to manipulate and lie to the populations and control what they say to each other. We tell ourselves that our success comes from our integrity, our unwillingness to do this, that we outperform and defeat them precisely because they do this and we do not. I personally do believe this as well. And besides that, we should be condemning anyone that engages in this sort of thing, not whatabouting it. My mind is mine, it's not your battlefield. All that a state gets from me when attempting to do this is withdrawal of my loyalty to it and my faith in it.
But I don’t think Linux is good enough, usable enough or supported enough!

The out of the box experience on Ubuntu doesn’t even come close to modern macOS or Windows 11.

Sure, if all you need to do is use a web browser then you’d be fine with a Linux GUI most of the time.

But then a Chrome Book is better at that point.
This is laying the groundwork for the conspiracy theory that Google and other tech companies rigged the 2024 election, in case Biden wins. Tim pool has been posting about it recently.

there's a 'More devices and printer settings' button that opens that Devices and Printers window, located in Bluetooth & Devices > Devices section in Settings. so, they're definitely not hiding it. and there's a Printers & scanners section in settings as well.

this is ridiculous. just rambling for the sake of rambling, having an out for windows lol. and seemingly (looking at post text alone) not even trying to actually find it, but in the video he even clicks that button and opens it, and yet makes up a more complicated "solution" for it, saying they "hide that button sometimes" which just does not make sense. it's just there. literally not hidden. so that's just a made up problem.

What are they misleading us about?
I’m not equivocating AI to these inventions, but imagine if this dour, pessimistic outlook greeted electricity, the combustion engine, the car? New things aren’t immediately valuable and come with all kinds of tradeoffs. We would hardly recognize our lives without these things now and - even though they come at great cost - no serious person would have given that progress up.

It’s fair that “we” (the collective human race) have been too optimistic about new things and too sanguine about the cost. That’s why climate change is as bad as it is. That’s why having everyone plugged into social networks makes us sad.

This constant stream of pessimism that started in the 10’s for everything (tech, any institutions, the world) etc is just so..small seeming. Complaining like this makes none of these things better and the ideas expressed in this piece are far from unique. So as criticism goes it fails to even meet that definition.

So why even do it? To feel cool I guess to other people who think being pessimistic about everything is cool?

We’re coming up on a decade plus of this prevailing dour attitude and not a single bit of it has helped forestall anything. Maybe we try a new approach where we treat new things as things to be improved when they’re at the beginning (and therefore most able to be shaped). Maybe we try being cautiously optimistic?

People take a model and continue training it all the time (that is, start with already derived weights of one model and doing more training on it to make it something different). Usually this is done to make the model more purpose fit to a specific task, but it won't often make it generically better assuming the first effort was using the model to its full potential (not "underfit").

The 75B param model simply has more complexity to work with than the 5B model.

In the same sense that:
`y = mx + b` is just not as expressive as `y = ax^2 + bx + c`.

You’ve posted this like it’s some kind of “gotcha” but I’m failing to see why. (Most) People who complain about EV cobalt use don’t actually care about it, or they would have complained about other uses before EVs were a thing.

Some people did genuinely care before, but we are really talking about the current anti-EV movement and their list of “Bingo” talking points.

When you point out alternative battery chemistries that don’t use cobalt as a viable alternative to both NMC EVs and ICE vehicles, they move on to some other anti-EV talking point they’ve been taught. My point still stands. It was never about the cobalt.

True. Just because you don’t need a big player to go nuts, doesn’t mean them doing it wouldn’t be a lightning rod.
Yeah, it was my impression the last time I looked into this that cobalt was a rather worthless element. Part of the reason for the terrible mining conditions isn't that cobalt is all that rare, but rather that it's not all that useful so you don't see a lot of need for industrial cobalt mining operations.

Because of it's relative uselessness and worthlessness, cobalt mines were shutdown. It's only semi-recently that there's been talks of turning the lights back on. Like in this mine [1]
