Would it be good for federation? As in ability to dump a large amount of mixed quality images on a local instance and then sync only a subset ("tagged favorite", "rated 4+ stars" or something like that) to an off-site instance. Because that's my number one requirement for image management: convenient management of the image selection subset pyramid.

I know nextcloud has some federation features, but I have no idea if that could be put to work based on some exif criteria or other file metadata.

For all I know this could be a killer feature that would be enough on its own to motivate the nextcloud plugin vs standalone decision, or it might be completely useless as in federation only based on entire folders.
AGI (human level intelligence) is not an really an end goal but a point that will be surpassed. So, by looking at it as something asymptotically approaching an ideal 100% is fundamentally wrong. That 100% mark is going to be in the rear view mirror at some point. And it's a bit of an arbitrary mark as well.

Of course it doesn't help that people are a bit hand wavy about what that mark exactly is to begin with. We're very good at moving the goal posts. So that 100% mark has the problem that it's poorly defined and in any case just a brief moment in time given exponential improvements in capabilities. In the eyes of most we're not quite there yet for whatever there is. I would agree with that.

At some point we'll be debating whether we are actually there, and then things move on from there. A lot of that debate is going to be a bit emotional and irrational of course. People are very sensitive about these things and they get a bit defensive when you portray them as clearly inferior to something else. Arguably, most people I deal with don't actually know a lot, their reasoning is primitive/irrational, and if you'd benchmark them against an LLM it wouldn't be that great. Or that fair.

The singularity is kind of the point where most of the improvements to AI are going to come from ideas and suggestions generated by AI rather than by humans. Whether that's this decade or the next is a bit hard to predict obviously.

Human brains are quite complicated but there's only a finite number of neurons in there; a bit under 100 billion. We can waffle a bit about the complexity of their connections. But at some point it becomes a simple matter of throwing more hardware at the problem. With LLMs pushing tens-hundreds of parameters already, you could legitimately ask what a few more doublings in numbers here enable.
This attack is now why browsers segment caching into a combination of requesting domain and asset URL, rather than just caching the asset on its own. It slows down for example Google Fonts, but means that a site can’t check to see that you’ve visited a competitor by timing an asset load from their site to see whether it’s in the cache.

Don't. There are more modern and superior solutions like e.g. Discourse. I don't see why people should use old-fashioned things like mailing lists in 2024.

With Lua's design, each bytecode operation requires a bunch of memory accesses, these microcontrollers only have a limited amount (~500KB) of SRAM, so you need to place this memory on PSRAM (RAM over SPI) which has "significant" latency for these microcontrollers.

It's definitely possible to use standard Lua and run _some_ of the Pico8 games, but not all.

Lua itself does not require a lot of memory, but PICO-8 guarantees 2MiB of usable RAM

Because it does not. I also do not see where, if at all, such claim was made.
The weird problem is with LLM hallucinations is that it usually will acknowledge its mistake and correct itself if you call it out. My question is why can't LLMs included a sub-routine to check itself before answering.

It really takes the soul out of making music. Why would you want a computer to design the sound for you? You don't learn anything, you can't honestly claim you made it or expressed yourself, and it won't truly be novel because the model is spewing out stuff based on what already exists.
Is Discourse easily searchable from the outside? I was looking up transaction behavior in Postgrsql last night. I came across such an old school mailing list. The utility was that it appeared rather high in the search results.
Once you become large enough to have a say in how significant chunk of online commerce is done by inserting yourself as the mandatory 3rd party in any transaction that takes place on the platform, you stop being "just another business" and become a "gatekeeper", or in Apple's case specifically a TWO sided market.

"Gatekeeper" is an EU legal term, which I'm aware doesn't apply in the US, but the term is on point. These gatekeepers are nothing more than unelected, unregulated, and unaccountable points of taxation that limit and control the flow and type of trade that is allowed to happen in the economy. Through network effects, they keep a stranglehold on both sides of the TWO-sided market because one of the sides (providers) doesn't have any alternatives and the other side (users) is chained to the platform through a variety of lock-in effects.

Financial transactions? Give Apple 30%. Porn? Apple says no! Perhaps 20 years from now, the only way to get a tech job will be to go through a an intermediary called Apple Jobs, and they'll take a 30% of your salary. How would you like that?

Yep, everyone seems to forget that ML was available before 2021. Had a conversation recently with my former colleague who learned about some plastic packaging company which used "AI" to predict client orders and inform them about scheduling implications. When I told him that you don't need Transformers and 30GB models for that, he was quasi-confused, cause he kinda knew it but the hype just overtook his knowledge.

My experience interacting with chain-of-thought is that it should not be likened to the rigid chains of logic/math. Step-by-step reasoning by models isn’t magically imparting that much rigidity to their outputs. The strength of the chain is the strength of related contexts, which is to say much less than math/logic done by humans. We tell ourselves we are teaching AI to do step-by-step reasoning, but admittedly as someone who deals with models daily in this area and not programming them, I don’t see the tight necessary connections we teach in basic math because I see how much the model(s) fail in ways no human past a certain age could. It’s more of a search for related contexts, which is powerful, but again not how a human reasons logically. Humans can reason purely form the armchair, starting with very few concepts, and reach far far, ironclad conclusions. Models aren’t doing that. They are leapfrogging through context. Yes an argument can be that’s splitting hairs, but that’s because it’s hard to describe succinctly, not hard to see.
> have very little insight into how the actual device and OS works. The browser is the OS, basically

As many of us have little clue how the hardware works, at the fundamental level, today. I am analogising the hacking we’re being nostalgic about with this higher-level hacking they’re doing today.

It’s still hacking, and it’s incredibly sophisticated. It’s just that the layer that was at the forefront decades prior is no longer today. Someone has to maintain it, but it’s not where most opportunity is.

This is a recent view of mine. But LLMs have set a cap on the relative value of pulling up a terminal.
Interesting post, but the prompt is missing? How do the LLMs generate the keys? It's likely the mistakes could be corrected with a better prompt or a post check?

Also, Google SERP page is deterministic (always has the same structure for the same kind of queries), so it would probably be much more effective to use AI to write a parser, and then refine it and use that?
> Imagine a car manufacturer (say Tesla, who has an edge over others much like Apple) could decide where you can go and who your passengers could be?

Ray is not arguing here that $23.6 quintillion dollars were lost. The first part of the quote clearly says the lost funds are estimated to be only $10B.

He's saying the claims total $23.6 quintillion, and while it sounds like a non sequitur, from the context it's clear that he's making a point about the effort to work through the claims. The next part of the quote is:

The task of addressing filed claims and
reducing them to their proper and 'allowed'
amount is monumental. Mr. Bankman-Fried
assumes this is a breeze. He is wrong,
very wrong.

I'm not a lawyer, but the effort required to address filed claims doesn't seem relevant to the question of loss, however.

Not in my experience. I’m sure every generation has its winners and duds.

From what I have seen, many workplaces these days, seem to be attempts to recreate the college experience (I went to a very rigid tech school, that did its best to recreate a work environment, so it wasn't a big deal, for me to enter the workforce). Not sure that's the best thing to do, but a lot of folks are making a lot of money, so I guess I'm just out of touch.

In Ye Olde Days, most companies were run by folks in their fifties. These people (the good ones, anyway) knew that they had to have the energy, enthusiasm, and creativity of youth, but were also quite aware of the need for structure, stability and confidence that only comes with experience.

Since older folks had the money and power, younger ones were forced to work with them. Now that youth has the money and power, it seems as if they don't feel the need to have older folks around.

The same reasoning would have applied for GPT-3.5. In the hindsight, you can say that it was obviously a good idea to build and ship GPT4. But hindsight is 20/20.
Sure, because you've been limited to a high degree. Apple showed the world you can treat your customers like thick headed babies and they'll be thankful. Android is following suit. Slowly eroding the freedom we once had and the invitation to do more than the default.

Agreed, this is a user-hostile move. The entire point of separating protocols from programs is because the user can choose which implementation should be used on any given protocol.

When I was in the University most people didn't know and didn't wanted to learn how to do that, and a couple of buddies and me helped the rest of folks with those needs.

We were in an EE/Telco degree where we had to program in different languages and configure plenty of different software, so knowing to solve that kind of problems are relevant in the kind of work they were going to do in the future.

The reality of that is how most of people are (or were?) in those degrees as a mere formality to get a good paying job, and interests are a secondary matter.
It's good to be skeptical and keep an open mind on stuff even when there's a well accepted “truth”. But on the flip hand you should be cautious not to let it evolve into anti-intellectualism and complete mistrust in scientific output (especially because calls to common sense are a very common manipulation tactics).

Science is a social thing, and as such it's far from an ethereal ideal of knowledge production. But at the same time, it's the best tool we have by far…

Maybe re-reading my explanation tomorrow or another day can help you grasp the phenomenon better ;).

This is such a major effort: getting up to speed on existing code bases to the point you can add to them.

I feel for the author of this comment, you want to help out and work on stuff you have energy at the beginning, I find it easier to write my own code than to get up to speed with someone else's code. Because you lose steam or the activation energy to get the project built and ran and then played with and customised/changed/"hacked on" is a major effort.

I have been thinking a lot on an idea inspired by compiler design: intermediate representations and term rewriting.

If software features were an arbitrary stack of crisscrossing intermediate representations that are rewritten and mutually recursive/referential or parsed or transpiled into actual code, then we could inspect the intermediate representations to work out how things work.

It would be nice to narrow down on a piece of behaviour and see how it works from end-to-end. But in practice, you have an opaque wholeness of a codebase to understand.

A modern system or codebase at a company or mature open source project: it's like those games of wooden sticks or wooden bricks jenga where they're arranged in a pile and you're piling things on-top of things and if you unsettle it slightly, it falls over or doesn't work.

I used a piece of software called OpenGrok which renders a large code base as clickable surfable wiki in the browser. So you can explore codebases.

I have a primitive python SQL database on my github that can execute simple graph cypher queries, simple joins of multiple tables, "dynamodb" style queries and document database queries.
The pg quote is interesting, I strongly disagree with this part

> But if your job is to design things, and there is no such thing as beauty, then there is no way to get better at your job.

That would be only true if as a designer your job is to make things as beautiful as possible, or aligned with your own taste. But to me large part of professional design is not personal taste but knowing and understanding your target audience and design intent, and design appropriately.

> If taste is just personal preference, then everyone's is already perfect: you like whatever you like, and that's it.

Which then goes to the other large part of professional design; its one thing to have some "taste" or be able to evaluate a design, and another thing to actually create/implement/change a design. Indeed that is the big thing of professionalism in general, not just being able to imagine some ideal solution, but to understand what is implementable with the real-world constraints which include your own skills and/or time-budget.

There is this common division of hobbyists vs professionals and its often implied that professionals can do things better. But to me the big distinction between the two is that professionals can do things on a budget and on the spot, while hobbyists can pour endless hours for their passion projects. With that perspective its not surprising that hobbyists can accomplish better results in many cases.
Another day, another speculative execution vuln..

> […] mailman 3 gives me the most ongoing trouble. it's a very complicated piece of software and it's running in an increasingly hostile internet.

Given that Mailman 2's code was heavily written with Python 2.x in mind, and Python 2 was officially deprecated, I kind of understand why the maintainers felt it would be easier to rewrite things from scratch… but I think Mailman 3 suffered from a form of second-system effect [1] as it seems way more complicated than MM2.
