This theory makes the most sense to me.

>We've been post-scarcity for oxygen since before we evolved

Have we? Our supply has been getting tainted with worrying levels of trace contaminants. If we had 100x as much atmosphere, maybe that wouldn't be an issue yet.

As this change mostly affects filmmakers, it's interesting timing that Unreal Engine got a shout-out during an Oscar thank you speech.

According to Epic, this is the first time that a film made in Unreal Engine 5 won an Oscar for Best Animated Short. ("WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko")

Because the human talent will not have many alternatives left in this scenario. So far they could stay in the technical lane, now they will be forced into AI-management.
I mean, you are welcome to believe that, but if I was a betting man (or had money to bet), I doubt the company had him killed.

Corporate malfeasance, even that kills people, is rarely likely to put people in jail and executives are still likely to end up wealthy. Conducting the most obvious corporate assassination possible under extreme public scrutiny would lead to criminal prosecution of individuals that would definitely result in prison time.

Meanwhile, suicide is extremely rarely logical, and people who end there often were anywhere from having their entire future ahead of them to being amidst some of their most profound success.
Are any of those things impossible without sideloading or the DMA? Those things will only be riskier on your phone with all the malware that will undoubtedly spread throughout fully open marketplaces. I really do not want my mom accidentally installing her "Chase Bank" app from www.chazebank.cc.
I am still pretty intrigued by the whole topic even if it's a spectrum.

From what I've read, beavers build dams instinctually if they hear running water. This applies to beavers raised in captivity that were separated from their parents. It's both an unusual behavior and one that seems (on the surface) like it would take plenty of reasoning.
> Not to mention the weird conclusion that since no language has 0, that isn't the goal. I'm not sure I understand the logic that you shouldn't at least _try_ to not have any major security flaws.

He addressed that, the cost of making it to 0 would be too great (C++ would have to break backwards compatibility) so we should try and be inline with other languages instead.

I don't understand why you're acting as if he didn't make the point he made.

asked perplexity what is the difference between openai and perplexity

Answer

Perplexity AI and OpenAI's ChatGPT serve different purposes in the realm of AI tools. Perplexity AI is primarily an AI search engine and knowledge discovery platform that focuses on providing accurate, up-to-date, and contextually relevant answers to user queries. It excels at understanding the intent behind questions, analyzing vast amounts of information, and delivering structured responses

. On the other hand, ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is known for generating human-like responses to user queries. It is trained on advanced language models like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, enabling it to provide comprehensive and informative answers to a wide range of questions, even those that are open-ended or challenging

. While Perplexity is better suited for factual queries and structured information, ChatGPT shines in generating content across various formats like poems, code, scripts, and more. Additionally, ChatGPT allows users to specify the tone, style, and format of the output, giving more control over creative content generation

. In essence, Perplexity AI is geared towards search and factual information retrieval, while ChatGPT is more versatile in generating diverse content types and engaging in conversational interactions
Any particular reason you are picking on US companies? or big companies?

Most, if not all, monopolies are sustained by government via laws, regulations, and so on. So let's get specific, which monopolies do you think should be forced to split up and we can test that theory and see if we can identify what government actions sustain the monopoly.
The EU won’t even seize Russia’s assets. You think they’ll start a shitstorm with the united states?
As an Australian from this perspective the scam shouldn't have even passed the smell test.

Due to changes in land management from traditional times we have had literal plagues of emu and kangaroos. They are of least concern in terms of population. With all other species in decline these two are really taking over.

We fought a war against them to keep their numbers down (and lost!). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

If emu meat was going to take off in the USA it would have happened already long ago from imports from Australia. Yet somehow people bought into the idea that emu's are worth a lot of money and you should breed them!?

<Its incredible to me that educated adults are taking long-distance manned space travel seriously>

Comical and Strangelovian perhaps, but also the only hope for humankind. How many years until the expanding sun's corona envelops the earth? Assuming we make it that long without first destroying ourselves or meeting an unfriendly asteroid, you can bet that all of humanity will be behind the effort. So while it's not on this week's scrum board, it's definitely a high-priority TODO.
> there has to be a line where if an exploit is so easy that all it takes is double scanning your card you should be able to use it all you want

I could not disagree with this more. I don't think that anyone wants to live in a world where anything is OK to do as long as it's easy to do.
Art as a concept is basically meaningless these days.

What is art? Apparently, anything can be art, so what's the difference between art and not_art?

From my personal experience, it is used more as a shitty excuse for substandard/lame/overpriced stuff to exist. And to boost it's creator's ego.

AI certainly isn't really doing it, just as people aren't.

Fuck art.
As much as I like to joke about Apple starting a nuclear weapons division and tattooing "POOR IMPULSE CONTROL" on Tim Cook's forehead, the reality is that corporations are not actually sovereign nations, they just cosplay as such. Apple's investors will not tolerate Apple abandoning a huge chunk of their iPhone revenue over what is effectively a religious precept.
I remember driving a nissan leaf. You had an opt-out prompt every time you drove the car.
> I will also point out that creativity doesn't happen in a vacuum.

"Remix culture".

Less-creative people only consume, or are content with making a minor twist to something they encounter.

More creative people take inspiration from 1001 existing things, actively seek out particular ones, and transform bits & pieces into something new.

Gifted artists do that, but don't shy away from transforming the tools & technology used, as well. Sometimes creating truly unique works, or breaking open entire new fields (like a game designer starting an entirely new genre of games). This also happens in science.

Of course we should cherish such gifted artists. But I'm convinced everyone's got a creative streak - it's more like a skill that can be grown & enhanced.
Another fun fact, having worked for CSU extended education. The extended education department is entirely self-funded (which is why credits cost more), and receives grants from the state. Thus, they are the only department in the school that has money. Guess who the best teachers want to work for...

It is like a little private school, within the system.
right, so what you decide to do is quit your job and never leave the house so no one ever has the opportunity to break into your house.

Does the cost of doing so justify being 100% secure?

most people would say no.
I think the original reading is pretty damn correct. It says apps should be able to access the platform "free of charge". Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that the reading that limits this to special API access is the tortured reading.

Besides, even Apple's reading is not what Apple is doing either. They're saying that ANY API access that is possible should be done free of charge. Ok. That INCLUDES app installation of course. It does not specify WHO doesn't get charged, which Apple then takes to mean those alternative app stores don't get charged, but the app owners do? Now THAT is tortured reading. Obviously that means NOBODY gets charged. Not the alternative app store, not the application being installed. Apple is not complying with their own reading either.

It seems to me pretty clear. Either interpretation, apps should be able to run on ios free of charge.
Lawyers don't do this though because the best thing to do for their client is get the NYPD to withdraw, not fight a lengthy and expensive legal battle over the NYPD's subpoena power.

The NYPD would legally fight to retain this power to the bitter end.
MCAS was designed entirely to prevent needing retraining. The engine position change changed the handling characteristics because it moved the forces around. So instead of admitting they've been using a design far too long and needed to change it which would require a new type certification and thus retraining so pilots understood the way the plan actually handled they put a software Band-Aid over it but didn't properly relabel it as a safety critical system to hide the massive change from the FAA which meant it didn't get the proper sensor support to ensure it always had proper data.

They've been rotted from the inside by McDouglas's exec team and the usual profit driven decision making. On top of all of that the agency responsible for keeping that at least marginally in check has been gutted and lobotomized by decades of "the only good government is one small enough to drown in a tub" mentality.
is "salting the earth", in the biblical sense of destroying your enemy and their land to the point where not even plants grow again, a SV term used for companies that promote open source?
Go is the proper succesor to C and Plan9/9front, to Unix.

Most of the POSIX cruft does not exist in Plan9/9front. It has a much simpler API. There's NPE, ok, but as an emergency to port some monolitical software from Unix, but not so big. Such as Nethack/Slashem, or Netsurf.
Ether now known as "physical vacuum". As I told you already, expansion of spacetime is the mathematical tool, like a shader in OpenGL.

Granted, HW is much harder than SW, but I would not discount Meta's ability to displace NVIDIA entirely.
Wow. Adobe did such a great job destroying Flash that people be out there creating whole "Adobe Illustrator but for animation" software when Adobe already makes Adobe Illustrator but for animation.

Aren't you still going to be paying that Core Technology fee once your FOSS non-profit app gets popular? I guess you would have to get that waiver but that's far from trivial[1], especially for an individual that just likes to publish an FOSS/free-as-in-beer app out of kindness.

There are reports [1] that a bunch of companies like "College Humor" were convinced to switch to producing native video for facebook (instead of directing users to their own sites) on the basis of bullshit metrics from facebook, and had an extremely bad time as a result, with some companies going bankrupt.

Something like counting an autoplaying video that ran for 3 seconds as a 'view' IIRC

A better option would be near-Earth asteroids. These require significantly less fuel to get to than the Moon and many are rich in ice. If you got really really lucky, you could even find one with an orbit similar to the Hohmann transfer path required to get to Mars and visit the asteroid en route. That way you don't even need to expend much fuel to transport the water to Mars; it's almost free.

For a return trip you could use Phobos and Deimos for material. They are also extremely easy to land on.
90% of the websites today use google analytics which is not GDPR compliant, and yet nothing happens.

Ironically Apple did more for privacy than GDPR ever did, and was able to enforce it… by having a walled garden!
In the 90s, I had a couple of army surplus missile silo batteries. 1500lb each. and an 800lb forklift battery. With those charged up and bunch of ebay UPS systems wired to them, we had ~3kw for computers for 2 or three days.

I could be wrong but the pattern of piggybacking on other tools but curating them in a list (or lists). I don’t like it either, I have seen some github repos that are like that with thousands of stars, sponsorships, you name it, meanwhile, repositories dedicated to essential tools or drivers, representing hundreds of hours of voluntary effort, often receive little attention.
Sure. 100T/day * 1day/86400sec ~= 1B/sec. They're probably considering at least a few hundred candidates per impression, and every impression is going to go through _at least_ two models (relevance and pCTR/revenue), so you could get there just with online serving at 5Mqps, which is plausible. But they're also going to be doing a lot of stuff in batch - spam predictions, ad budget forecasts, etc - so that every candidate actually runs through four or five different models, and every actual impression could do more than that.
Or even more to the point. Pyramid scheme. I'll sell you these eggs for $40k so you can raise them and sell their eggs for $30k and so on. The losers are the ones that get in at the bottom. We ban blatant pyramid schemes but these ones get through by obfuscating the scheme in a very minor way.
That's a great resource but I find it too theoretical as a primer; to me, I need to understand git some already before the paper makes sense.

Whereas the following article is more "Lego Duplo" conceptually and helped me wrap my head around the relations between git abstractions much better,

Firefox is competitive, their struggle is primarily that their competition is Microsoft, Apple, and Google, who have both practically endless wells of money, control over the computing platforms, and vastly more mindshare.

There's no technical solution to that problem.
Unfortunately fines are a net zero from the EU's perspective, as fines are simply deducted from the EU contributions paid by its members.

I benchmarked protobuf encoding and nanopb was very good.

Even though our schema was huge, it still did serialisation in a time that was surprisingly small for our underpowered chip.

Which is a fourth of what they spent in VR/AR in a year. And Gen AI is something they could easily get more revenue as it has now become proven technology, and Meta could possibly leapfrog others because of the data moat.
If I were to send an illegal demand to someone (like say a threat of blackmail / extortion), can I simply "withdraw" the demand once it reaches court?
Absolutely ridiculous.
The "bloat" part is probably going to impact your compile times.

Also I tend to want generated code to be at least ish comprehensible in case I need to debug into it - from what you're saying, everything has gone sufficiently well in terms of 'clean and robust' that that hasn't been an issue for you in practice ... but justified or not, it's going to worry me anyway.
Of the three, Manning and Winner, have been convicted (or pleaded) in a court of law, been sentenced to confinement, and served the time.

As far as I am concerned, those two have paid in full what they owe our society. Leave them be.
How on earth did she use 7400 gallons of gas in a few months? At a conservative 20mpg, that's 148000 miles. Over 6 months that's 822 miles per day, or ~40 gallons per day.
Mistral makes comparable models to Facebook. Mistral charges money, Facebook does not. This negatively affect’s Mistral’s pricing power because a customer can get 70% of the performance they need for 0% of the cost.

The “0% of the cost” part is unique to software businesses because you can copy software so cheaply

Yeah the advice to "use trimmings!" seems very based in a restaurant situation where (a) lots of vegetables are getting prepped regularly and (b) cutting techniques are based on the goals of speed and uniform product, so you'll see things like squaring up a vegetable into a cuboid before dicing it... which produces "scraps" that aren't wasted, because they can go into a stock!
The "some work" phrase is doing a lot of work for you here. It can easily take them 100 years as well and they will get broke long before.

I see nothing in the original article that doesn't strike me as the techno-optimism of the 1960s where people made movies and books saying "It's the year 2003 and the humanity is exploring the vast depths of the Universe".

So again, it's a very plain old boring techno-optimism.

I am sure they can automate some work (like scaffold a certain CRUD part of the app) but there are always nuances and specifics and the current generation AI has so far proven inadequate in catching those and taking proper care of them.
I really appreciate the approach of orienting this to be very much "AI-assisted" rather than "AI-driven". At no point in the process did it feel like the LLM entered a black box, did something, then made the walls transparent.

There's an incredible amount of promise in this UX. Excited to see it continue developing alongside the foundation models and new technique approaches.
The universal answer as to why (there is no fair, working system implemented) is, as usual, 'cui bono?'
Any strategy to make whistleblowing power-balanced is by proxy heavily undermined by all forces that do not want it.
Those forces, big corporations and their third-party henchmen, have heavy financial interests to bring down any just way of whistleblowing. They have a lot more money, time, manpower, influence and corrupt people who execute the dirty work.

To have incorruptible lawmakers lay the ground work is only the first step.
Then the laws have to pass in their original intention, ie. waterproof wording without loopholes. Any unintentional loopholes have to be identified and fixed.
Then the law has to uphold to "accidental" mistakes, misinterpretation and misrepresentation, official or secret changes, additional laws that reverse them, ....
My friend recently did something similar, and was told he needed 120 amp service minimum. I'm not sure if he just over-did the level of charging he needed or what, but that was where the rest of the cost came from.

We've been getting on fine without a garage because our cars are used and not expensive. They also don't have massive battery packs that would cost more than a used car to replace, either.
Current CSU Lecturer here, working for one of our largest campuses. Since I started 10 years ago, my department (CS) has seen more than double the amount of enrollment. Projections for us are to double again in the next 4 years or so.

The decline in student population might be a thing system-wide, but not for certain areas like STEM.

Edit: Also, we have lost quite a few faculty due to our poor pay, which makes our overall class sizes huge. When I started, class size was capped at 35. Now I have two lecture-hall size classes at ~100 students per class.
Not sure where you're getting the info on platform fees (copilot didn't know either) but I'd assume you need to offer at least one way to install your apps without this fee.
Quite a few authoritarian countries like North Korea have startling long names that enumerate all the good qualities they don’t have. These can blow out the layout of dropdown lists and other UI elements which can be quite irksome.

Having your own list of ISO country codes with the names filled in from an authoritative source is a good thing but you will probably want to edit the names of a few countries depending on politics and how much room you have in the UI.
