> If it is an order by a court, then i think it is ok. Then it is no mass surveillance and for solving a crime it is useful.

Why can't a court order be mass surveillance? In these cases, the videos were viewed 30,000 times and more than 130,000 times (if I understand the latter correctly). How is that not mass? Nobody suggests that more than a few of those people are suspects.

Neanderthals got to Mediterranean islands using what had to have been boats 200,000 years ago. Of course we know nothing about the boats. It must have been terrifying to be first. One thing we have learned about island populations is that a small population loses cultural knowledge over time. It is reported Tasmanians had lost the secret to making fire by the time Europeans got there, something I find hard to believe.

Anyway boats were re-invented many times in pre-history.

I downvoted because to me it tried to say what someone else should not talk about.

I don't disagree that wrong things should not be tolerated and that giving up and accepting is no answer.

Whenever someone tries to tell a complainer to shut up, I frequently point out that in the entire history of the Earth, not one thing ever got better by accepting things as they are. It's one of my favorite things to point out. So I'm very much in the reject giving up camp.

But I don't think it's necessarily giving up or cooperating to merely explore any and all other possible solutions to any given problem, and that comment struck me that way.

My impression might be unjust, and so by disclosing it I may take a few arrows myself, but for once, one is explained. :)

CloudZip: List/read from remote zip files without downloading them
I don't see any world where forcing people to take on massive debt is good for them - the mere suggestion that it could be feels like gaslighting - and the contrived situation you described barely qualifies as debt, but is more like free money from the government - financial institutions do not lend out money for less than inflation unless the government pushes them to.

Debt less than inflation is not free money unless you can put it in a savings account which pays more than inflation. This is very rarely possible, because the institution lending you the money would just put it in that same account instead of lending it to you. It's quite the opposite of free money - it forces you to work to acquire the greater number of nominal dollars which you'll need to repay in the future.

The argument for taking out debt with interest lower than inflation is that you can time-shift your purchases and end up doing less work to buy the same stuff in the long run. If you aren't doing that (which is a gamble, btw), then you shouldn't have the debt.

Mixtral 8x7b is better than both of those and runs on a top spec M3 Max wonderfully.
> Both of those things are perfectly possible

Yes, we saw that in the 1800s and the subsequent period leading to the great depression. Money supply was growing too slow, deflation was pretty rampant and the economy was stuck in a permanent boom and bust cycle (with depressions which were generally much worse than anything we experience these days).

In such an environment using debt to invest becomes extremely risky. If the interest rates are relatively high (as they were) it makes more sense to just live on income from government bonds (how British aristocrats were able to maintain their lifestyle) than to invest into anything risky.

> which produce no useful goods or services, but do result in more money going into their pockets. Which is the situation we have now

In a deflationary system (i.e. based on gold in a growing economy/bitcoin/etc.) you'd become richer just by hoarding money it and waiting for its value to increase. That doesen't seem to be particularly better.

> Bitcoin is not fixed. People can mint more

It is effectively fixed. The amount being "minted" is insignificant relative to demand.

> So Bitcoin is irrelevant to analyzing the case where the quantity of money is fixed

Don't be silly. If that's the case so is gold (a lot less fixed than bitcoin) or anything else, this would make it completely pointless discussion.

It could be, of course, good old IS. But the FSB is widely thought to have organized a series of terror bombings in Russia against residential buildings, pretending to be Chechens, for a casus belli against Chechnya: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Russian_apartment_bombi...

I mean, the FSB operatives were arrested by the police, with a bomb, in a residential building, only to then be released and claiming it was a drill. While the Chechens were supposedly conducting a real terror operation, which by the way they never claimed. That was, by the way, the first Big Moment of Vladimir Putin.

So it's speculative right now, but totally reasonable to consider it was all done by the Russians.

> How do you incentivize this? Your view seems fairly communist. Also how does a net new innovation factor into this framework. New pharmaceuticals for previously untreatable diseases for example. What slice of the fixed money pie do those get?

To be fair that did mostly work in the 1800s. The gold standard probably did have a significant negative impact on growth but to be fair I can't really think of a different system that might have worked back then considering how thoroughly corrupt and unstable pretty much all governments were back then.
OP here, I thought it was relevant as alot of the output goes to production of windmills and electric cars (motors).

I am genuinely worried about the squeeze we are in now between conserving and protecting nature and transitioning away from fossil fules. I am active in the green party i Norway where we are fighting to wind down our oil production in a responsible and controlled maner.

But alot of the new non-fossil energy production is now added to the existing energy mix, not replacing fossil fuels.

Close by where I live (45 min drive), Google is building a huge server park that will require approximately 5% of Norways total electricity production. The region does not have enough power and energy companies are now in a frenzy to build solar parks along the delicate norwegian coastline in the south. This will mostly go to cover the needs of Googles new datacenter, not replace fossil fuels in any way.

Just because someone calls something "green" does not automatically make it so.

Hey! Kudos to them firstly! Its the same problem statement but different solutions.

They seem to use tracing and tracing generally adds a lot of overhead on the application. Our method tries to avoid that plus added latency is ~0.01s in our case. Tracing seems really useful wen using RAG based approach so we are working on adding it as an option too but for simple fine tuned approach, We believe Doku should do a good job.

We prioritise self-hosting a lot more. Setting up Doku is very very simple(2 Doku components and ClickHouse) for both Docker and we do have a Helm chart for Kubernetes which I generally found a bit tough in the other tools + self-hosting IMO is easier as data regulations are not a big headache.

We also allow you to add multiple clickHouse (where we store the LLM Monitoring data) to Doku so that you can easily separate staging and production data. If you are already using ClickHouse for any other purposes, You can easily connect that too!

and as you said our connections, IMO everyone is using some sort of an observability tool, We don't want users to learn and educate to use Doku UI in those cases, Just simple connect and use your existing observability platform (So if you dont wanna use Doku UI, thats one less component you need to run)

rest I think is the difference in what LLMs we can monitor but thats not big as most users Ive talked to right now are still at a stage where they are experimenting somehow with OpenAI

Would love for you to try it out and understand the things you feel we should add!

Thanks!

> As such it can be used as a measuring stick to judge how distorted prices are getting

It can. It would just be a pretty bad idea to use it for that since it would indicate that prices where consistently falling during the 80s and 90s amongst other. I mean the nominal price of gold in 1980 was exactly the same as in 2007... I can barely think of a worse measuring stick (we could just use the price of oil instead? It's hardly less stable).

> inflation is measured by the government as a relative change in a cherry-picked basket of goods that changes over time

perhaps. Seems fairly tangential, unless you're implying that governments generally tend to severely underreport inflation most of the time.

>It won't be decades, but a few more years would be helpful

I see it this way to be honest:

- companies will aggresively try to use AI in the next 2-3 years, downsizing themselves in the meantime

- the 3-5 year launch mark will show that downsizing was an awful idea and took too many hits to really be worth it. I don't know if those hits will be in profits (depends on the company) but it will clearly hit that uncanny valley.

- 6-8 year mark will have studios hiring like crazy to get the talent they bled back. They won't be as big as before, but it will grow to a more sane level of operation.

- 10-12 year mark will have the "Apple" of AI finally nail the happy medium between efficiency and profitability (hopefully without devastating the workers, but who knows?). Competitors will follow throw and properly usher the promises AI is making right now.

- 15 year mark is when AI has proper pipelining, training, college courses, legal lines, etc. established and becomes standard faire, no stranger than using an IDE.

As I see it, companies and AI tech alike are trying to pretend to be the 10 year mark all the while we're currently in legal talks and figuring out what and where to use AI to begin with. In my biased opinion, I hope there's enough red tape on generative art to make it not worth it for large studios to leverage it easily (e.g. generative art loses all copyright/trademarkability, even if using owned IPs. Likely not that extreme, but close).

No, there’s an abstract algebra extension of real numbers to have an extra symbol h such that h^2=0. This is not a real number so you cannot apply the argument h^2=0 implies h=0, much like complex numbers don’t obey all properties of real numbers.

(For example for real numbers, x!=0 implies x^2>0 but i^2=-1)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassmann_number
The largest impact is sometimes asking simple questions (how are you going to handle X?) which leads to not building something. When this something hasn't ever had a chance to work, you saved the whole cost of trying to build it.

This is not only impossible to measure as a numerical metric but also makes you enemies. Kudos to those who dare to do that anyway.
Well if we're using the price of gold to measure that there was no inflation (which of course wasn't really the case). To be fair examples are pretty bad, the iPhone 4S and iPhone 14 are not equivalent products, you can get more capable smartphones for $100-200 or less these days indicating that their prices actually went down quite a bit over the period.
Codd's seminal paper, A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks, states that a language based on applied predicate calculus "would provide a yard-stick of linguistic power for all other proposed data languages". Quoting from https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~zives/03f/cis550/codd.pdf:

"1.5 Some linguistic aspects

The adoption of a relational model of data, as described above,
permits the development of a universal data sub-language based on an
applied predicate calculus. A first-order predicate calculus suffices
if the collection of relations is in normal form. Such a language
would provide a yard-stick of linguistic power for all other proposed
data languages, and would itself be a strong candidate for embedding
(with appropriate syntactic modification) in a variety of host
languages (programming, command- or problem-oriented)."

Languages based on predicate calculus indeed seem extremely suitable for reasoning about relational data. Datalog is a well-known example. It is more directly based on predicate logic, and much simpler than SQL.
The book is internally inconsistent, with the author cherry-picking "facts" to support his own prejudices. In some cases the same data is used for mutually exclusive conclusions in different chapters. Basically, he making up conclusions and then throwing any shit against the wall in the hope it sticks, with no regard for what he's already said in the same book.

It's pseudo-science, designed to let complacent readers validate their prejudices, and pat themselves on the back.

It's called "package on package". The RAM is different chip, however it's located very close to the CPU chip and both are under a single cover. The end result is a "package".

I think that GPUs use similar approach.
There's PRQL which is really nice. But it has pretty big downsides: it only supports querying data, not modifying it; and since it's not database-specific it doesn't support all the features of whatever database you're using. E.g. it can't access complex data types like structs/arrays in DuckDB.
