>Not sure why a phone OS would be different.

As a new platform that does not have to worry about backwards compatibility they can better design the operating system with lessons learned over the years that desktops have existed.

>Your line of thinking is basically "think of the children".

My line of thinking is that with proper design a platform can have good security. The web platform got sandboxing right. It's a good thing that a website can not cryptolock all your files by just visiting it. Does a website really need to be able to read and write all the files on your system, or perhaps is exposing just a single folder dedicated to the site good enough for most legitimate purposes. A platform can choose what kind of apps it should support. I don't think it is bad for a platform to decide that it does not want to support the needs of a cryptolocker even if that may be limiting what a user can do.

I don't believe that "think[ing] of [user's security]" is a bad thing. User security is valuable for a platform and is essential for scaling.
> They have different use cases.

But there’s also no harm in combining them. I agree with the OP, TypeScript does what they describe Dart doing and I find it much simpler than the way Swift does it. It’s never confusing.

Yes. But are you implying that the EU is making this worse? After all, the economic slowdown in Europe can almost fully be explained by the terrible demographics in Europe.

It is easy to imagine a war torn Europe without the EU. Then we would definitely be worse off.
Fun fact, the punctures aren't necessarily from necklaces - it was also common for coins be nailed to doorframes for good fortune, and occasionally to the masts of boats and ships.

All of these usages (including as amulets) are extra frequent if the coin features a gorgon's head, because the image itself was said to repel bad luck.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgoneion

I'm into ancient coins and I completely agree with you about cut coins being extra interesting - another interesting dramatic thing to dive into are overstrikes, coins that have been 'reminted' at a later time than their original minting, and ancient imitation coins - such as those made by tribal peoples living adjacent to Roman territories.

These are generally interesting for such fun features as very eclectic fusion art (think Roman iconography by way of celtic or germanic swirls and stylization), and by sometimes having gibberish text on them when made by an illiterate artisan.

Despite the slant of this article, yes.

These groups work on reputation. If prior ransoms do not result in seemingly perfect dealing from their end, new orgs won’t consider it.

The significance of the rug pull on affiliates confirms this. It shows fair dealing even with conspirators is the norm, and this example as a major diversion.

I read Google's not good online, are you finding it better than ChatGPT?
MOOCs kind of demonstrated that it isn't so hollow, even if just as a filtering function for capable people. Anyone can get the curriculum taught at MIT or Yale now and yet there has been no massive upskilling in the world, nor are there tons of people who attribute MOOCs for tremendous success. Even the ads for the MOOCs now are competing more with DeVry Or U of Phoenix instead of any serious institute of higher education.
Answers to these questions are actually Bayesian statistical models ("what is the probability of Y given a high likelihood of X"), treating these problems as unsupervised classification might work, but that's a very crude way of approaching them.
> PAM3 sends 3 bits in 2 bit times whereas NRZ would require 3 bit times to send 3 bits

Yes, but the transactions are still 16 WCK half cycles (beats) just like in GDDR6. The designers opted for a narrower bus (per channel, and more of them) rather than shorter transactions. So that doesn't save any time. I didn't find anything on the WCK rates, but it looks like they're pretty similar to GDDR6 based on all of the examples I was able to find. So I'm not convinced of much of a time savings there either.

Now, latency numbers are measured in units of tCK, not WCK, and with GDDR6 those were pretty long relative to the time it took to actually send the transaction (2 tCK.) I'm not too familiar with the internals of the DRAM, but I assume that the process of loading the data into and out of the DRAM cells is a bit involved if it takes that much time. If that were to be sped up, then we could see improvements in latency, but I'm not holding my breath.
I suppose its both to look like they're benevolent and to "force" everyone else to follow suit - at least for MS and Google.
Mine's the 5800u model, but the 4800u one has gone as low as $450 new in the past. It supports Linux and Windows out-of-box, it's cheap as chips and it's fast enough to swap spit with whatever my Macbook Air would be running.

I like some Apple hardware; I've got a couple Powerbooks stacked up somewhere, and the early unibody models weren't terribly flawed. Modern Macs though... if you manage to ignore the OS issues, you still have to baby the hardware out of fear of a $700 topcase replacement (or worse). It's investment on top of investment on top of investment, and the returns keep getting smaller after every OS update.

To each their own. I simply don't subscribe to the "one size fits all" mentality towards Apple products, even as "normal people" computers. It's not worth starting a flamewar over though, so I'll leave it at that.
it seriously is. I have grown to resent advertising and mistrust sites that depend on advertising since "What is the ulterior motive here?" is a question that I have to ask myself.

Zero ads. User centric features being rolled out. Kagi has improved more in the last 6 months than google did in 10 years that I used the product.
I've poked around a little at Haiku wondering if it's truly the spiritual successor to BeOS. I don't know, because I only ever saw Be at a friends house running on a PowerMac.

I like the idea that there's still room for more OS', and that there might be reason for them.
Thanks. Even that is pretty dense for someone who hasn’t been living and breathing LLMs for the last year.

You’ll want to find a balance between telling people what your thing does with no jargon or acronyms whatsoever, while signaling to people who know as much as you about this stuff (all four of them) that it’s got those cool ingredients.

All the best.
Why would anyone even be under the impression that Elon would be pursuing some higher truth or a noble goal by this suite ?

This response is comical and ironically proves Musk's point that OpenAI is just a profit seeking organization structured in a way to masquerade as a non profit to doge taxes.

Basically a clever scheme by Sam, he gets to have his cake and eat it too this way and probably everyone at the leadership level is congratulation themselves for being so brilliant.

Look here, the truth is that they have been caught with their pants down and now are just attempting to back peddle.

I understand why they won't budge because if they do, they will lose all their scam marketing tactics and Nonprofit status.

Let's hope other AI models catch up quickly, I'm rooting for OSS to take over this field entirely like UNIX did with.

Oh, also, before you lecture me about the "threat of AI", maybe give me a chat bot that can do basic math first.
Yeah I think this was ridiculous, the news sites get money from being unreadable due to advertising, Meta, Twitter etc drive new people to those pages.

Its a dying medium that deserves to die IMO
lol... no large coolers on the beach.

I guess 2 medium coolers is ok? Not sure what size that is though...
In Dart if you want to narrow down a nullable final class variable, it is not enough to do

if (value == null) {
// value is still nullable here
}

instead you need to first capture the value

final value = this.value
if (value == null) {
// value is non-null
}

Swift's guard and if let syntax seems way nicer here. In swift, it's also nice to destructure nested nullable values using if let.

if let value = object.object?.value {
// value is non null
}

In dart you'd need to first assign this into a local variable and then do the null check which is unnecessarily verbose.

I think that's the problem, there aren't hard and fast definitions. I think "economic depression" is an unsettling word, so it keeps switching to "recession" or "slowdown" in the same way that what was once a "moron" or "mongoloid" has become "intellectual disability". I think the powers that be worry that if they announce "we're in a depression right now" it could be a self-fulfilling prophecy to a degree. And eventually, one day if not already, they'll be equally hesitant to use the word "recession" at all.

As far as a bubble, yes, it's the evaporation of a huge amount of money. 1929 stock market crash -> all that market cap was lost. In the 2008 crash, home values crashed thus losing a vast amount of hypothetical worth. We were/are/will see a similar real estate crash in the corporate/office sector since the value of these rental units has plummeted post-covid-work-from-home.
Ilya may have said this to Elon but the public messaging of OpenAI certainly did not paint that picture.

I happen to think that open sourcing frontier models is a bad idea but OpenAI put themselves in the position where people thought they stood for one thing and then did something quite different. Even if you think such a move is ultimately justified, people are not usually going to trust organizations that are willing to strategically mislead.
I thought neural nets are universal approximators that could also approximate whatever surface a tree model cooks up.
Your second why is incorrect:

> Why can't they make money printing the truth?

> Because their old business models have been nuked, and its just too expensive for them to hire those fact checkers and editors.

It looks like you have assumptions that Truth sells.
Truth sells in the absence of entertainment, opinion and emotion.

Does that change your conclusion?
Circular reasoning and begging the question. We don't actually know what brain tissue does and have no way to find out, currently.
Please refrain from such inane, low-effort comments, regardless of how annoying Wolfram is. If you want to contribute to the discussion, say something about how this will impact Kagi.
Makes total sense!

I basically did whatever chatgpt told me, which was Swift with UIKit, and Storyboards for the interface design.

Took me a bit to learn some of the conventions and syntax, but they've come a long way in making it much more intuitive for web dev folks.
I highly recommend the PeakMath (https://youtube.com/@PeakMathLandscape?si=zQg6bbp2SvfqzKYm) RH saga video series on YouTube for this topic.

They are excellent, and not requiring more than high school maths knowledge to really get quite deep into the mysterious connections between prime numbers, Riemann hypothesis, elliptic curves and L-Functions.
I'm on Android. The Android app has never been very snappy nor bug-free for me (I've also used older, low-end phones, for what that's worth), but I think it has generally gotten better over time.

Isn't "forced to make sth productive right away" the opposite of "exploratory programming"?
It's not that hard to solve if you have a "I like this / I hate this" signal from the user.

Unfortunately for Google, G+ was probably their best chance at something like that. Now they just have stuff like time on page to try and figure that out.
The Haber process was the single most important thing that brought us WW1 and WW2. War at an industrial scale was suddenly possible because munitions were possible to produce at and industrial scale.

The EU is what changed in Europe.

US "occupation" in Europe after WW2 was weak compared to the influence of the EU. The EU emanates all regulation in Europe. The US certainly didn't create the single market in the EU.

Also the brutal occupation of Easter Europe by the USSR is exactly an example of what the EU peace project is about solving.
They are totally closed now, not just keeping their models for themselves for profit purposes. They also don't disclose how their new models work at all.

They really need to change their name and another entity that actually works for open AI should be set up.

Apple: iPhone China sales slide as Huawei soars, report says
Their mathematics is a statistical model which outputs the statistically most likely result, in effect leaving only the most significant independent variables. Which decreases information complexity, by definition of "information complexity".
While I agree with last two paragraphs, C is not good even for that purpose because it doesn't give any tool to manage them. An effective C education should really be paired with various static analyses and formal verification strategies.
Reads like a sceene from terminator movie...
...yes.

Unavoidable hard restrictions like this make it dramatically harder to do malware research (thereby reducing security overall) and cause huge & unreasonable problems the moment you see a false positive.

I'm all for user protection, but there is a limit. There's no point aiming for 'impossible' - if the user could be convinced past enough security warnings in the OS, they can equally be convinced to just type their banking passwords into the attacker's phone directly.

I think there's a responsibility on the platform to make possible consequences clear, and make dangerous actions quite difficult, but totally blocking full user control of their own devices is counter productive.

I sense that with AGI all the outcomes will be a little less assured, since it is general-purpose. We won't know what hit until it's over. Was it a pandemic? Was it automated-religion? Nuclear weapons seem particularly suited to MAD, but not AGI.
At most, the White House's opinion on C/C++ will impact government contractors and people who care about the White House's opinion on matters it isn't qualified to speak about.

Fgprof – The Full Go Profiler
The word "information" here has a strict mathematical definition, and LLMs decrease the amount of information. This decreasing is, in fact, the very thing that makes an LLM an LLM. Their function is to remove and simplify information, leaving only the most significant variables.
>The glyphs are not a barrier to use or learning.

perhaps not to you but perhaps they are for a large number of people who are used to seeing words they recognize, surely being able to read a simple program before you have learned and guess what it means will be a great comfort to people and make them feel that yes, they can learn this.

A bunch of incomprehensible glyphs might interest someone like a puzzle solving challenge, but not everyone will want to solve a puzzle in order to first start to learn a language.
The meteoric rise of MS Azure in Europe is best explained by how they have already had their war with the EU and learned how to work with the EU instead of against it.
Yes, using a statistical model which is in effect a very lossy compressor.
It's a matter of scale as far as expense. If my company produces 100,000 cars, and the stalk assembly/parts cost $50, now I've saved 50*100000=5 million dollars a year. To me it's clever in the same way that all-wheel drive users existing brakes to manipulate wheel-power delivery versus a complicated (and expensive) 4WD transmission. Clever, yes, but impossible to use in a tactile manner and thus dangerous because it forces eyes-off-road ( a simple steering wheel button might save money and still afford tactile aspects)

And based on how they have acted in the past, how much do you trust they will act as they now say when/if they achieve AGI?

You have to learn to maths and to code, that takes about a decade. It requires a lot of output from you. There’s no way around that. Even if it was all redundant due to AI , it is essential mental scaffolding for higher thought unreachable without it.
Is this because of the artificial sweeteners in the drink or another ingredient?
Isn’t this a bad faith interpretation of the EU law, by providing free egress when exiting AWS (and GCP)?

The law mandates egress costs should either be free or not exceed the costs encountered by the cloud provider.
Heh. Most progress is done in error messages at the moment: “if I get this error, then it didn’t work, but if I get this error it did”. If I solve distributed systems unit testing, that will be nice and worth a post all by itself, but not quite there, yet.
I deny doing this. I provided actual counterexamples of how there is complexity in this topic in the post above.
If one happens to live in a big city, outside is not much better, and god forbid if you want to have a hobby like gardening. Just more concrete, traffic noise and people everywhere, no land that is your own. There's a reason why countryside villas remain popular among city dwellers who can afford it.
Yes, I remember OS/2.

I was a middle school kid. A family friend provided the installation media and said it was the future. I was excited! I saw the pictures of the desktop! I tried and tried to install it, but time after time ended up with failures. The best I ever got was to progress all the way through the hours long installation only to get an error about memory without parity bits on the first boot. I messed with BIOS. I messed with the RAM chips, swapping out some. It seemed to me that it needed very specific hardware, and the hardware I had wasn't inside of that envelope.

DOS worked fine on that machine.

I never saw OS/2 again.
> For example, Albania is using OpenAI’s tools to accelerate its EU accession by as much as 5.5 years

What an insane thing to say so matter of factly. This is like a character in an airport bookstore political thriller who is poorly written to be smart.
I think he disagrees with 4:

4. Language prediction training will not get stuck in a local optimum.

Most previous things we train on could have been better served if the model developed AGI, but they didn't. There is no reason to expect LLMs to not get stuck in a local optimum as well, and I have seen no good argument as to why they wouldn't get stuck like everything else we tried.
They have no incentive, sitting in the giant walled gardens of their monopolies.

What is needed is a "zero friction transition" law. As in everything you have gets exported to neutral formats, allowing easy eco system transitions. Aka competition. That most hated word at cooperate.
If there’s no advancements in alignment before takeoff, is there really any remote hope of doing anything? You’d need to legally halt ai progress everywhere in the world and carefully monitor large compute clusters or someone could still do it. Honestly I think we should put tons of money into the control problem, but otherwise just gamble it.
Are you talking about George Soros here?

Yup! An array formula makes it much easier to handle this problem from the blog post:

> If you have a set of numbers, and you want to add some constant to them, the way you'd do that is to create a formula that adds the constant to a cell and put that into a different location, usually on the same sheet, and then paste that formula to all the cells in an area with the same size as the original data, and hope that you got the dimensions right.
Good example is pcguide.com. It got turned into spam linkfarm on ~25 February 2019. Prior to that it was a treasure trove of old timey DOS/BIOS/PC Hardware information frozen in time in 2001. Google was usually returning it at the top of results for relevant questions.

Example content https://web.archive.org/web/20190127153310/http://www.pcguid...

Then someone in 2019 bought this property just for a domain with great google rank, and turned it to typical stolen content referrer scam SEO garbage dump.

Testing now by searching for typical garbage query "Best AI website builders in 2024" still returns it on first/second page, once again google talks but fails to deliver.
