Free plan can be used with some iamnobody@gmail.com email and without any credit card info. It looks like good idea because I thought too that Starter plan is 100% free and if you would use all yours resources they should shut down your page and wait for improving plan/adding credit card details.

I would not like to pay for something which was advertised as free (don't have a nervous for paying without hard limit for home project, I can host it even on rasberry pi + pay just for address). That's why I find it is better to not use your real name as long you don't want to make real business :(
Seconded.

In addition I also struggle to see how any effect would be large enough. A person isn't strong enough to measurably slow down a high speed car with one arm by pushing again the car, so how would they be strong enough to do the same by pushing against the air?

AWS could plausibly claim _some_ additional expense on their premium network offering (not full rate, of course, but some) for the additional monitoring and adjustment they do to adjust to peering conditions but none of that is plausible for other companies peering with them who provide the same services. If their customer uses Fastly or Cloudflare, they don’t need any additional cost to toss packets over the wall and let the other service worry about routing. I’d imagine those companies are making sure that the EU regulators know exactly how much they need to charge for that.

The absence of GC, makes embedded Rust a joy. It can be easily attached to other programs like Erlang with NIFs, Javascript and web pages with Web Assembly and Emacs with command line execution. Micro-controllers as well of course.

I do consider the lightning start-up speed of a program to be one of the killer features of Rust. Rust with garbage collection throws away one of it's biggest advantages compared to every other language around.

Two things that jump out at me here.

First, this assumes that they will know when they approach AGI. Meaning they'll be able to reliably predict it far enough out to change how the business and/or the open models are setup. I will be very surprised if a breakthrough that creates what most would consider AGI is that predictable. By their own definition, they would need to predict when a model will be economically equivalent to or better than humans in most tasks - how can you predict that?

Second, it seems fundamentally nefarious to say they want to build AGI for the good of all, but that the AGI will be walled off and controlled entirely by OpenAI. Effectively, it will benefit us all even though we'll be entirely at the mercy of what OpenAI allows us to use. We would always be at a disadvantage and will never know what the AGI is really capable of.

This whole idea also assumes that the greater good of an AGI breakthrough is using the AGI itself rather than the science behind how they got there. I'm not sure that makes sense. It would be like developing nukes and making sure the science behind them never leaks - claiming that we're all benefiting from the nukes produced even though we never get to modify the tech for something like nuclear power.

I don’t think you understand how the credit card marketplace works. Your comment makes no sense.

Visa and Mastercard are the dominant processors. Amex is far behind (but it is both a processor and a bank).

But they don’t set card fees and interest rates. The bank that issues cards does.

Capitalone is not a credit processor. It’s a bank. Along with Chase, B of A, Citi, US Bank, Wells Fargo, Barclays and hundreds of credit unions.

None of the banks has more than a 20% market share. #1, Chase, has an 18% market share. The top 3 only make up 55% of the market.

Pro tip, you can use small models like phi-2 to do semantic chunking rather than just chunk on based on size, and chunking works even better if you book-end chunks with summaries of text coming before/after to enrich the context.

Another pro tip, you can again use a small model to summarize/extract RAG content to get more actual data in the context.

>in contrast today you have tires made as poorly as possible

That's not entirely true. F1 tires today are vastly grippier and stronger than they were in the James Hunt Nikki Lauda era because the downforces they need to withstand are also much stronger.

Sure, by F1 regulations, Pirelli needs to intentionally make the upper layer of their tires have a short lifespan in order to make the race more exiting by forcing the team strategy to come to the pits more often when their tires wear out, instead of staying out the entire race on one set of tires, but you can't say the tires are made as poorly as possible.

In fact the innovations in them are quite remarkable. They're intentionally not as hard wearing as the Michelins of the Michel Schumacher era but they're way grippier.
The value of winning LeMons is zero, so...
I finally took this advice a couple of weeks ago. It's been great. Zero regrets.
Value means whatever your employer or customer considers valuable and worth paying for. That may mean increased revenue, decreased costs, more efficient process, competitive advantage, even a happier team.

I'll give an example from my freelancing experience. When I meet a potential customer I don't try to sell them on my programming skills or experience. I ask them to tell me the unmet priorities or pains in their company remotely related to IT/software. I've heard things like "Our system doesn't correctly charge shipping on customer orders," or "We think our internet bill is too high." Those both sound like problems I can fix, so I ask how much that's costing the business, to get some idea of how the customer values a possible solution. Then I will propose I deal with it. If I can fix it they pay me some price I come up with based on their perception of the cost, and if I can't I won't charge them anything. And invariably once I fix one problem -- show that I can add value or reduce costs -- they think of other things I might help with. I'm simplifying but basically that's how it works. I don't have to persuade the customer that I have this or that skill on my resume. Of course you need to actually solve problems. That's how you build long-term relationships with customers, because every business needs people who can solve problems. As a freelancer I focus on smaller companies, not necessarily mom & pop, but small enough that I'm talking to someone who can make a decision.

You can use similar techniques in full-time job interviews, but again it will work better if the interviewer has hiring authority -- rare in larger organizations these days when you have layers of people to get through. Rather than sit there while the interviewer goes over my resume and tries to mentally match that to whatever job they have posted, I ask "What can I start on tomorrow to solve an actual problem you're having?" And chances are good they have a list of things they would like to get someone to deal with. Now I'm not getting grilled over why I quit a job eight years ago, I'm getting a description of something that maybe I can do to show my value.

When I have been in the interviewer seat I see the same deer in the headlights faces over and over, worried and nervous, not asking any real questions (or asking something irrelevant), waiting to defend themselves if asked about details on their resume. Don't be that person sitting in the chair sweating it out. You have just a few minutes to make an impression so show confidence, make eye contact, show that you researched what the company does, and ask about problems and pain points you can help solve. That changes the tone of the interview, and the interviewer will remember you as someone who at least showed some spirit and initiative. You have nothing to lose -- worst case is you don't get the job, which is where you were when you walked in the door.
"used to be"? When is that? There are lots of very interesting old stories about rule bending in Nascar. Actually, it apparently started from the very first official Nascar race [1].

If you want racing series about driving civilian cars fast, they do exist. Nascar just isn't one of them. The only one I really heard about is "Stock Miata" racing, but I'm sure there are other series using stock street cars, or at least having the exact same cars for all competitors.

I don't see the need for any *assumption* about ulterior motives. The motives are clear, and certainly not ulterior. All I had to do is pull my head out of the sand, keep looking around, and take notes.

You're spot on. Don't belittle your insights.
When I am in situations like this, I try to focus on the process, not the outcome.

Find joy in applying for new jobs, learning about system design and algorithms, or doing practice interviews.

If you follow the process, you will find that job.

On a side note, I would encourage you to not lower your pay or communicate you will accept lower pay, because its a signal to employers that you're desperate, no one wants you, and they too should be cautious to hire you. As one of my old favorite managers once told me, "when I gave you that offer, I wanted you to walk in on your first day smiling"
Pandora's box is already open on that one.. and none of the model providers are really attempting to address that kind of issue.

I guess it basically boils down to what is and is not a "socially" acceptable way to deflect blame from yourself and those things, as all things social/customary, don't have to really be consistent.

You can have vim constantly refresh a buffer if it's modified externally, like this turns your buffer into a kinda-sorta-version of `tail -f`:

Ah, the classic "Two Stories" [0] from Joel Spolsky:

I pretty rapidly realized that the App Architecture group knew even less than I did about macros. At least, I had talked to a handful of macro developers and some Excel old-timers to get a grip on what people actually did with Excel macros: things like recalculating a spreadsheet every day, or rearranging some data according to a certain pattern. But the App Architecture group had merely *thought* about macros as an academic exercise, and they couldn’t actually come up with any examples of the kind of macros people would want to write. Pressured, one of them came up with the idea that since Excel already had underlining and double-underlining, perhaps someone would want to write a macro to triple underline. Yep. REAL common. So I proceeded to ignore them as diplomatically as possible.

Making something look good is very popular but entirely different from actual quality.
The easy answer is just use a model to chunk your data for you. Phi-2 can chunk and annotate with pre/post summary context in one pass, and it's pretty fast/cheap.

There is an optimal chunk size, which IIRC is ~512 tokens depending on some factors. You could hierarchically model your data with embeddings by chunking the data, then generating summaries of those chunks and chunking the summaries, and repeating that process ad nauseum until you only have a small number of top level chunks.
This feels like something that is just crazy enough to work.

Most teams I've been on or managed were at their optimal efficiency with three people. Just enough to keep any one person from making too many poor decisions, but not to many to spend half a day in meetings.

I worked an academia job part time because it was all I could find, but I learned a lot and the work felt great compared to most office jobs.
