Besides, IE was closed source and WebKIt is open source. So are all other engines. And web standards are really a thing now.

I was saying this as a tounge-in-cheek way of calling Thiel evil. But also, Thiel is a LoTR geek, who took all of the wrong lessons from the novels, literally writing fan pieces that argued that Sauron was the good guy in LoTR to justify his personal authoritarian and fascist ideologies. Its literally why he named his company Palantir.
"Pixels" and "frames" are the exact same thing analytically, only in the spatial vs. time domain. This is very much an instance of aliasing, which is why blur happens to correct it.
A GPC device should be able to develop and compile programs directly on device without any external dependency. That's what you get with Windows, Mac or Linux.

HTML+CSS is considered Turing complete [0], but we wouldn't call that a complete GPC environment.

Where is the US is talking about officially recognizing Taiwan?

The only thing changing is that there are US soldiers in Taiwan, so if China invades it might kill them and trigger a response.

It shouldnt be that hard not to invade Taiwan in the first place, many countries are not doing it.
I didn't buy an iPhone because of the "security" that the restrictions give me, and I suspect few others who jumped ship from Android to iPhone did either.

I switched because the iPhone does what I need it to do, and then gets out of the way. It works as I need it to with my Mac, and is for the most part intuitive and well thought out. I would prefer it if I could install what I wanted from where I wanted, but it's a price I'm willing to pay. And no, allowing me to do so would not undermine any of the value I've pointed out.

I bought an iPhone _despite_ the restrictions, not because of them.
OMG, I realized while reading this that (1) I haven’t heard CVS or Subversion mentioned in a long time and (2) Spolsky probably needs an introduction at this point. Both of these point to the fact that I’m getting old!

I had read somewhere that Linus coded the first version of git on an airplane ride.
How so? Because they have taken large investments from Amazon and Google? Or would you also characterize OpenAI as "Microsoft in a trench coat"?
> because the AI already knows how the Germans looked in WW2

Does it? I had thought it was supposed to be generating these, not retrieving them?

(in which case I would find it unremarkable if it had encoded Picture(Nazi) = head(human) + hat(Stalhelm) instead of going all the way to Picture(Nazi) = head(human.melanin(low)) + hat(Stahlhelm); see cousin comment about 6-fingered hands vs. Hox conservation)

But maybe I'm biased because I've mainly tried to get AI to do coding and math, and my usual results have been exactly along these lines: the general shape might be almost there, but the details never match up.
They were being hyperbolic to illustrate a point.

Sort of like how you keep bringing up guns, knives, and car safety in a conversation about phone apps, to illustrate your point.
> Plus, even for the cancers we do have screening for, it's often not frequent enough to catch more aggressive variants early - a lot of these screenings are only once every ~2-5 years.

Screening intervals are based on doubling time.

> The idea of, say, proactively taking MRIs, blood panels, etc. on people, looking for early stage cancer (and other conditions) throughout the body is not something that's available.

You can pay out of pocket for a “screening MRI” in BC but from my clinical practice the yield is dubious.

> You can't even get an annual physical with a family doctor anymore,

Evidence has shown the physical is useless.

> there's only screening for a handful of specific diseases, and only once you reach certain ages/risk factors

Screening needs pretest probability and a diagnostic test with sufficient accuracy. It simply does not exist for most cancers. Trials are underway for new tests like cfDNA but in 2024 there aren’t any validated options.
Concorde was at least partly a remnant of people flying to London to close a deal over lunch and getting back to New York in time to tuck the kids in. I assume that sort of things is at least less common today.

I don't understand this argument: it's not about the money, it's about the product compliance. It should be no more controversial than trying to sell appliances with the wrong plugs.

Cars are one of the main causes of death in the US, and we just accept it. So perhaps DOT can get away with it. But we do not accept this tradeoff in, say, approval of medical devices or drugs.

Man, just a polite friendly advice, whatever message you are trying to convey would be 10x more efficient if you cut word count to maybe 10%. Few want to read small novels in discussions.
Without prior downloads happening before going offline I’m not sure you could share a file between mobile operating systems out of the box, regardless of which OS is trying to supply the file.

If I’m allowed to pre-download software before encountering your scenario, running a web server or an app that serves FTP or other server types hosting files is trivial on either OS. iOS may require shuffling the video file into an app sandbox first.

If there was no reasonable alternative then why was it 90% and not 100%?
But a lot of big technological developments hve political motivations, because governments are the first and biggest customer. Nuclear energy, internet, space race etc, have all been politically motivated, funded and supported.
But, it might be possible to have a material that has different characteristics at different temperatures, as long as it's symmetric. If it's nearly opaque to IR in its cold state, hopefully sunlight at dawn would warm it rapidly enough that it would automatically "shut off" on cold nights, and still "turn on" shortly after dawn even on cold days.
> To translate that to LLMs: training an LLM on songs (or code) is fine. It's the output and what you do with that output that might be problematic.

Only if you assume that LLMs are treated like people. Does an LLM have a right for decent working conditions? Is it illegal to make an LLM work 24h a day?

LLMs are not humans, therefore it seems reasonable to not blindly translate everything that applies to humans.
I wonder if how it's done matters. Like if you are genuinely curious and non judgemental it might not come across as creepy. Of course depends on the circumstances.

I personally find approaches like this the correct way forward.

An input analyzer that finds out what kinds of tokens the query contains. A bunch of specialized models which handle each type well: image analysis, OCR, math and formal logic, data lookup,sentiment analysis, etc. Then some synthesis steps that produce a coherent answer in the right format.

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but the pricing of the human alternative is what approaches the cost of the service, not the other way around.

That's really weird, I just signed up with no issues and my country together with some other EU countries was listed. Now when I try to signup a new account, it says that my region is not supported.

I still have the sms verification from them as proof.

What do you mean by "free market"?

In any case, that might be a tangential, as regulated utilities are decidedly what nobody thinks of as a free market. They are a monopoly, but trade off regulation of their pricing and investment decisions in return for the monopoly status.
I'm both a developer, and a user.

As a user I love the ability to easily turn a subscription on and off, without having to call someone/chat with someone. Also, did you know that a requirement of the app store is you can delete your data from within the app? It's a great way to reduce your digital fingerprint.

As a developer, we rolled out in app subscriptions and our revenue essentially tripled. They handle refunds. That saves me a LOT of time.

Perfect? No, but I do as most pragmatists do: compromise and make the best of it.
> To offer subscriptions on iOS, Spotify must give away 30% of its revenue to Apple. Yet Apple compete with them with Apple Music. Do you think Apple is giving away 30% of its Apple Music revenue?

This isn't the right read on the situation — Apple pays the 30% in opportunity cost. Now Spotify doesn't actually pay the 30% but let's pretend they did. Every Spotify user they have paying $10/mo nets Apple $3/mo. So if Apple Music wants to enter the market every user they get that would have otherwise been a Spotify user loses them $3/mo. So the cost of the Apple Music subscription has to make Apple $3/mo in profit to break even with the cost of doing nothing. So if Apple's costs are the same as Spotify's for actually providing the service and Spotify charges $10/mo and Apple charges $7/mo Apple is losing money.

This is why across different industries and long before Apple existed this practice was ruled not anti-competitive.
1. It's an advertisement/press release, not so much an "article".

2. This would NOT be called even "AI" but "machine learning" 10 years ago. We started using AI as a marketing term for ML about a year ago.
Regarding quality, on my computer vision benchmarks (specific querying about describing items) it's about 2% of current preview of GPT-4V. Speed is impressive, though.
No catch. We're pretty early tbh so mostly looking to get some early power users and make the product great before doing a big launch. It's been popular with yc founders in the latest batches thus far but we haven't really shared publicly. We'll charge when we launch. If you try it now, I hope you'll share anything you liked and didn't like with us!
I guess money for the point of money is the issue. If you have some higher goal like doing something in the world or running a business, then more money probably helps with that.
I guess your data is the catch.
Assuming it’s the same as my PG&E bill, it’s split into “generation” and “delivery” charges.
I don’t think it would have been unusable. The first distributed version control systems are more than 20 years old. Plus, the size of hard drives was in the 10s of GBs [0] then and a lot of large projects have repositories that are a few GBs or less. [1]

So I think keeping the entire version history on a local hard drive was doable 20 years ago, but I think you’re ultimately right that keeping history locally would have been a less appealing solution.

Seems like the API is less reliable than GPT-4 so far, but I guess it makes sense for the endpoint to be popular at launch!
It would be cool if Git got good at dealing with media and large files. There's other tools for it, but Git is powerful and I'm comfortable with it.
It’s about the difference between someone saying something mean to people and someone killing people. Sure, they are both socially unacceptable, but we typically don’t equate those.
> This isn't about marketshare, it's about Apple making things impossible.

Of course it is about marketshare. The more you have, the more you can make things hard for your competitors. The less you have, the more you're the weird one with the odd platform.

> I am with a friend in a place with no Internet access

That's a vanishingly rare situation not worthy of legislation, IMO.
Sorry, can you elaborate? You mean why are we okay with employers imposing restrictions on employees to protect trade secrets, but not with governments imposing restrictions on citizens to protect people from being spammed and defrauded?
I stand corrected. Thank you.

(Still recommend HILN, though it's not a valid answer to the question asked.)

They say "IF it is legitimate to do X, then ...". They don't say it is legitimate.
Europeans, don't bother signing up - it will not work and it will only tell you once it has your e-mail registered.
Well, it's definitely "interesting" because it was a weird and user-unfriendly restriction on previous M1/M2 Airs and now it's gone. So that is interesting for sure.

Perhaps more to the point, you're right -- Apple doesn't deserve to be lauded for removing something that was a dumb restriction in the first place. But it is interesting considering this is the most popular laptop in the world.
Maybe it's an uncommon scenario these days, but not too terribly long ago I think it was fairly typical for software audio players to be 16-bit and offer volume controls, and anything other than 100% would completely ruin most benefits of dither.

Then you might enjoy looking up the "Mixture of Experts" model design.
So you’re of the position that when two companies are in a dispute, one should primarily favor the one with smaller market capitalization? Are you familiar with patent trolls?
I think it helps to remember that programming was "secretarial" work back then. Essentially, most programmers were women, and working from home meant they were also able to keep up their home duties and child-care.

Back then you'd program in punch cards, so if you have the punch-card equipment you could do this near anywhere. So there wasn't a big difference between being at home or the office. It also allowed managers to hire low-wage women easier.

It wasn't later that IT became a more profitable and less niche field that these women were pushed out and replaced with men. Programming stopped being 'pink collar' due to this dynamic.

As far as modems go, we didnt really see that get big until the 1980s with speeds like 1200-2400 baud being groundbreakingly fast compared to 300 baud. You could receive or send text almost as fast as you could read it or type it, so it was not that different than using a green screen terminal at work or at university.
Cool. Now explain why my iPhone has FLAC codecs built in, but the Apple Music app refuses to play it (the file manager can play it natively, no extra software like VLC needed). I'm sure it has nothing to do with ALAC.

No Apple, you deliberately cripple the competition all the time — especially with music — and you're getting what you deserve.
There was a period of time where data was easily accessible, and Open AI suctioned up as much of it as possible. Places have locked the doors since then realizing someone was raiding their pantry.

To get that dataset now would take significantly more expense.
> Color rendition is also impacted by the sensor, assuming digital cameras.

Particularly since the old lens was designed for film, perhaps even black and white film. The choice of film has a much larger impact on color rendition than the lens would have. Also, unlike sharpness, color rendition is highly subjective and easily corrected. If you're shooting to JPG and you don't like how the camera is interpreting the colors from a lens, most cameras allow you to customize the white balance.

> he never changed his behaviour

That's the real problem. People just refuse to learn. They refuse to put in any effort at all. They don't want to have to think about what they are doing.

It's making me become ever more elitist over the years. I no longer believe computers should be for everyone. Computers are world changing technology and they are wasted on people who don't give a shit.
I've always thought of emergence as "a behavior at scale which is unintuitive or difficult to predict given understanding of a lesser scale".

More specifically, I think "emergence" is more about the blind spots we have as meat calculators than something magical, unless you ascribe to the notion of "magic" as "something sufficiently advanced or complex as to be difficult to understand", in which case I think actually yeah, emergence is magical behavior from that perspective.
> Also, you're giving the exact argument in favour of self-driving cars as soon as the tech is actually ready, and also the reason that crumple zones and seatbelts are mandatory.

No, that's dangerous! Everyone should crawl everywhere while wearing an iHelmet if we were to apply apple's modus operandi to transportation.

> And also the reason we have (revokable) driving tests to be allowed to use the vehicles in the first place.

Hmm, so you think that maybe qualified people should be allowed to use dangerous devices? I'm fine with you taking devices away from your parents. That's up to you and your parent.

> https://www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives has a high degree of popular support, and has done since I was a kid myself.

Is your argument that your iphone should not be allowed outside where it might scare other people? Odd take. Even in the UK an adult is allowed to buy & posses a kitchen knife.
When OpenAI showed that GPT-4 with vision was smarter than GPT-4 without vision, what did they mean really? Does vision capability increase intelligence even in tasks that don't involve vision (no image input)?

“not only for building a $3 billion tech empire in 1960s England, but for doing it with an all-female, work-from-home staff of professionally qualified women who had left the work force after marrying and having children.”

Tangentially, this part brought up an early thought that I had: tapping into a qualified workforce that for some reason got removed from work standard work opportunities. One such large group the one mentioned (at the time in the UK, probably less applicable now).

Another one that I usually think about is all the people with high levels of manufacturing expertise that got laid off in the US in the past decades, living in smaller towns. Would it be possible to tap into their knowledge remotely?
Why is that ? Thanks for the tip that will help 700 million people.
It’s really kinda crazy how normalized it’s become to pull in hundreds of dependencies (aggregate of dependencies and subdendencies) from unvetted sources on the regular. Combined with the popular insistence of developers to run with all protections disabled (SIP, immutable system, non-admin user, etc) it makes for a whole lot of easy targets.
Note that this fine is made up of 0.04bn of fine and 1.8bn of deterrent against future anti-competitive behaviour [1]. The the 2006 fine-setting guidelines allow the Commission to do that [2].

We should read the 1.8bn lump sum (roughly 0.5% of Apple's revenue) as partially being about music streaming and app stores, but mainly a warning to all large firms which are currently jockeying for a dominant position in emerging tech like generative AI and visual computing.

The warning: play fair and compete on the merits, or see you in court.
