You will get no disagreement here.

I specifically pointed at older NPs for a reason.

Heck even old RNs will know what they are doing.

For us programmers it is a bit like why you don't let the new kid push straight to prod. But an older engineer may have a key to do it. ;) There is some wisdom that comes with the grey hair.
No the self evidence difference is that the brain is equipped with many more models than simply language. Language is one of the ways we express the composite output of many models, emotion being a key other which has no need for language to exist.

This is why it is a fallacy to think an LLM contains anything other than the textual descriptions of our higher level thinking, and why LLM alone will only ever parrot intelligence.
Our renewal got Shanghaied by an extremely greedy and over zealous sales rep who injected himself between us and our renewals reps, and wanted to turn a sub $80k renewal into damn near $200k this year and $300k next.

Needless to say it got nowhere fast and, by the time he gave up and threw us “back” to renewals, the damage had been done.

We elected to do what they thought was unthinkable and we just walked away.

My oh my, it was very, very good day, when I got to tell them to go f themselves.
It's not so much about the price, as the horrible reputation they've built on leaving customers out to dry and ruining vacations with no recourse. Amex is an exception here. But even the slightest possibility of being hit with "sorry we don't have you in our system, you'll have to call Expedia" makes it a nonstarter for me after dealing with it.
So far they've had to pull out of a few airports when FBOs stop hosting them, mostly without explanation. The same FBOs that allow part 135 operators, some owned by the majors, to run. Seems related.
I don’t know if this goes for VRAM, but I know that with system RAM, applications care very little about data rate and very much about timings. This includes games.

I do know that overclocking VRAM (or at least GDDR6) barely increases performance, but that’s mostly because it’s usually already been pushed to the edge at stock. My old 3070Ti could easily overclock 10-15% higher, but the memory had to self-correct significantly more errors so the actual improvement was a wash.

I’m also curious if gaming handhelds would benefit from switching their entire memory architecture over to VRAM, like both consoles have done in this generation.
I'm unemployed.

Joking aside, I worry when I start working again too. I think recognizing that struggling is learning and aiming to get into the rhythm/habit of struggling even when you're tired - even a little bit - compounds. I'm also toying with the idea of cohort-based learning
Voltage is gonna be what fries devices, not current. If you reconfigure the phone or whatever to accept 20V (even if it would blow up at 20V) you could fry the phone quite easily. This would be extremely device specific, but would not be hard. It would also require you to be connected to a power supply capable of providing that voltage too… so it would be innocuous if it was never plugged into something capable of that voltage.

Also, the cable doesn’t care about voltage. You can use literally any cable to provide 20V just fine.
Based on a quick Google search, looks like US stock market cap is about $50 trillion [1] and real estate is $120 trillion. [2]

I did notice that today’s jalapeños aren’t as spicy as they were even 10 years ago.

You should be investing in a low risk, high-liquidity market (treasury, money market) when saving up.

But anyway it is a reasonably sound plan for what you are doing.
I'm sure just about everyone has seen "Blade Runner" by now - double points if you've seen the later version without Harrison Ford's narration. But you really need to see "12 Monkeys" if you haven't yet. Amazing, and these days somewhat timely.

I think the warnings in this article are reasonable if you don’t think there’s transformative tech around the corner that is going to lead to huge societal changes. And even if there is a big productivity boost from AI or anything else, the winners and losers will be scattered around in an unpredictable way, you could still lose a fortune on the index funds
Now I'm trying to empathize with the model (or just harvesting karma for when the time of the machines comes).
You’re really overthinking this.

It’s a mystery. People like mysteries. People naturally want to see mysteries solved. It’s that simple.
I meant to take a picture of the read-not-print document on your secure laptop.
If you took a cell phone that only accepts 9V or 12V and changed it to think it was permitted to accept 20V, you could easily fry a phone. Charger will happily supply it if you trick the phone side.

This would require malware on the phone itself, though. Possibly something quite low level.

>I am offended by the implication that someone will forcefully take away

I have heard this sentiment many times and I still find it baffling. Who has actually threatened to take anything away? Some senators I don’t know about? Some director of a government agency that I’ve missed statements from? Who would be in charge of creating and enforcing such a ban? This “those OTHER people are coming for our way of life, and they’re going to take it away” gives me the same impression as the unhinged “white replacement theory” people that just invent an enemy in their heads to get wound up about.
They’ve sold millions of copies at $50 a pop.

You could say they left money on the table. You could also say they’ve profited tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.

And most games fail to realize this while maximizing revenue.
>but hey, it doesn’t hurt to have optionality

MBAs, financiers, venture capitalists, etc. have the most repulsive grammar/vocabulary. Why?
The bridge is "apply to, be accepted at, and graduate from medical school". Offhand, I personally know at least four physicians who were nurses first, and they certainly worked occasional shifts as nurses during med school for extra money, but it's hard to describe just how big of a torrent of information medical students are expected to absorb. There's very little overlap in the education, although former nurses usually have better simple-procedure skills (IV's, catheters, etc.) and superior skills at dealing with difficult patients early on in clinical education.
It's actually the over-cooking them, specifically over-boiling them, that makes the more bitter.

I think very few people would find them bitter raw, even self-professed sprout haters.
Very few people have the luxury/privilege of investing at their risk tolerance.
Hmm, so the real problem was writing down what they supposedly agree on in detail and trying to make it law?

I wonder if an emperor ever tried to get them to stop doing that, leaving it between each person and God?
It never ends. Price hikes, shrinkflation, reducing employees until there’s only a couple in the whole store, self checkout, replacing customer service with buggy chatbots, service fees, taxes, pandemic surcharges, mandatory “tips”, suggested tips (up to 30% at the kiosk yesterday!) junk fees and now surge pricing. Consumers are slowly drowning in charges and it seems like rather than correcting for gouging, the free market seems to be colluding.
I could be a new architecture.

A processor has different cores, Computers may have several hard-drives, 4 sticks of ram.

Each component can run in parallel.for example, if a long video processing task is underway and your text generation component is idle, it could assist.

Should the audio component fail , only that specific part would be affected.
I'd say you should compare the models for your use case. Which is better depends on how much you're willing to pay, what kind of problems you need help with, speed, ease of use.
Thanks for the comment! I like black for myself but I bet your notes look beautiful.

I agree with buying heavier paper. I recently bought some 100gsm paper for my notetaking at work, whereas I was previously stealing whatever they had in their printers. It makes a big difference in the enjoyment of writing, and now that I'm printing my own graph pattern on top of it I feel very liberated to use good paper stock. The graph paper I bought throughout school was never my favorite stuff.
While you're right about the access to AI models on Azure, I wouldn't tie my infrastructure to Azure just for that. Sure, you might have to use them for that service, but ship the queries in & the results back to a cloud of choice; especially LLMs in most uses cases won't represent a huge amount of data; the costs of egress < the costs of dealing with Azure.

We're (now only partially) on Azure for reasons stated upthread: desire from the industry. We've partially moved since, and the experience as a whole has soured me on Azure as a reliable cloud provider (I've had to engage with support far more often). Their support, in particular, is terrible¹, and a lot of their offerings IME are less stable or harder to work with than AWS. I'm now moderately experienced with GCP, and I think GCP has them beat, too.

¹missed SLAs, a huge desire to close tickets prematurely, failures to address things asked of them, really bad communication skills, constantly divorcing replies into new threads, dredging up asked & answered stuff, repeatedly asking questions covered in the original ticket's opening set of answers, asking the customer for stuff they should know, etc.
> I mean, once people finish the work that needs to be done, and if there isn't any more work to be done... those people get let go

Except , companies tend to hire and fire rather periodically which is a huge waste in terms of "lead time" (it takes an employee x months to be productive) not to mention demoralizing to employees. The alternative seems to be to have better planning or a decent enough roadmap rather than cater to the whims of Wall St ?
Thank you for trying out the game and thanks for letting me know about the potential issue! I only tried it out with Chrome on Android, so I'll check it out on Firefox too.
Well, as a very relevant example, if you tell others what your AWS account ID is, they can figure out if you own any particular bucket. The metadata association between the content of that bucket and the owner might give away information that the contents of the bucket doesn't indicate on its own. It also might not be a technical vulnerability, but that association itself could imply some proprietary business information. Or it could give clues to any would-be attacker as to other resources to target. In business, there are lots of types of information that are not secret, but are also not public.

Right, another way to put it, couples with nothing to lose are more likely to have to have kids. More well-off couples are worried about how they can have kids, give their kids a good start in life and not have to sacrifice almost everything.

I don't think that's fair here.

Microsoft should not require a Microsoft Account to use Windows. But I as an individual cannot change Microsoft's position. I'm not saying Elon can either, but I suspect his feedback will carry more weight.
> With utilities, you could only charge for the right to run the monopoly if the government artificially prevents market entry, which is a bad idea IMHO, for all sorts of reasons. Better to have a public option, and a right by anyone to provide their own private option.

You can have that right, and still auction off the right / obligation to run the public option.
So this reminded me of a pretty funny conversation on Seinfeld between Jerry and Kramer, where Kramer explains to Jerry that these are the prisons that people (really men in context) make for themselves[0]. It's done to good comedic effect, but you do also see his point. Not that everyone would want to live like Kramer obviously.

I assumed when you said "Only enthusiast laptops go with a large number of memory channels" you intended to refer to something beyond just the MacBook Pro, because "enthusiast laptop" is usually used to describe a category that definitely includes a lot of laptops that aren't MacBook Pros, and only arguably includes some MacBook Pros. And if you did mean to refer specifically and only to MacBook Pros, there were plenty of more straightforward ways for you to do so.

That would be a deal breaker when it comes to CI tools.
You can put together an ITX / SFF system with:

- AM4 motherboard

- 5800X3D

- Aftermarket low profile CPU cooler

- 3600MHz 16GB RAM

- RTX 4060 Low Profile

- 2TB NVMe SSD

And it’d be smaller and much more powerful than a PS5. If you get the parts secondhand, it wouldn’t be that much more expensive either, especially once you factor in PS+ and how cheap Steam games are.

The only hairs in the soup are SteamOS and Nvidia drivers.

SteamOS doesn’t yet have a standalone install. You can work around that by installing ChimeraOS and having it launch Steam Big Picture on passwordless boot.

Nvidia currently has relatively poor open source drivers, but nvVLK is rapidly improving, with probably good performance in a year or so. Your other option is hoping AMD or a board partner release a low profile card, but I don’t see that happening. Or the dark GPU horse that is Intel.

You could also go for a larger case, which would allow you to fit a bigger GPU. Something like an AMD 6800 XT would deliver a 120FPS experience at 1440P and high/ultra settings, and do so quietly with an undervolt.
If you auction off the right / obligation to run the public option, the private sector can run this just fine.

You'd want to allowed negative bids (ie you get paid to run the thing to cover losses), and the bid closest to positive infinity wins.

> the free market seems to be colluding

Markets are just machines that respond to incentives. In the absence of regulation, the only incentive of the market is profit. What you're observing is that just because a market is efficient at seeking a profit, it doesn't mean it does anything good for society at large.
I had no intention of implying any malfeasance in my use of the word "odd"; I mean it in the sense of unusual, unexpected and surprising. The thing is, you finishished your precursor post saying, about your tests and mine, that it comes down to there being a human in the loop making a judgement call, but in a follow-on you say that there are thousands of quantitative metrics. Why, I wondered, would that matter, if it comes down to a human making a judgement call? Were you switching to a different line of argument, one that (as far as I could tell) had not been raised before? That's what I found surprising about your claim.

I am still rather confused about how this fits into what you are saying more generally. At first I thought you were saying, in your latest post, that the Turing-test interrogator should be restricted to asking questions from the sets having quantitative metrics in order for it to be an objective process, but that doesn't really hold up, as far as I can see. Frankly, I suspect that the tests with objective metrics are beside the point, and the essence of your position is contained within your final paragraph: "If the LLM can deceive the human [then] that is a hard True/False quantitative metric [and the only sort we can get]."

If so, then (no surprise) I think there are some problems with it, but before I go further, I would like to check that I understand your position.

That's pretty silly. By the same token, you would have to argue that companies are anti-capitalists, because they are largely run on a command-and-control model. Or families are anti-capitalist.

I'm not so sure. I feel like the quality of fast food ingredients has gone up since the 90s.

I have a couple of theories: I think consumer preferences have pushed in that direction (e.g. I remember McDonalds chicken nuggets used to have chewy gristle in them), and JIT inventories mean that ingredients can be fresher, and food science (e.g. additives and preservatives) has improved, and improved flavor along with it, and there are also new preparation methods which improve quality of the final product.
I’ve spent the last 12 years doing payments-and-billing-focused engineering for various companies. Most engineers, in fact, do not want to do this work. It’s like specializing in plumbing for septic tanks, most people have an innate sense of revulsion of self-protection that keeps them from doing it. You screw up the money pipes, and you have a Real Problem.

However! The problems are interesting, the challenges are endless, and it’s possible in some orgs to get recognized as the person who is keeping the money flowing.

I do have a sense of frustration that every company seems to start off with a bad design for billing, so I’m always cleaning up after negligence… but it pays the bills.

Sometimes I think I want to build an open-source billing engine. To show off what it looks like if you do it right. But would that be killing the golden goose? Currently there’s endless demand from people who don’t know.
