I’m on record as saying that we need to squeeze the water out of these bloated models.

It’s possible to scale better than N^2 for some value of “better”. OpenAI has yet to demonstrate that they have the elusive combination of technical sophistication and institutional health to do so. Mistral can run a better model as judged by outcomes on my Mac Studio than GPT-4 is on an Azure disagg rack. Altman seems to understand this.

I’m on record as saying he’s amoral, non-technical, and a clear and present danger to Enlightenment civilization, not that he’s stupid.

I think his math on what it’s going to cost an OpenAI that Karpathy wants nothing to do with to reach the next level is refreshingly candid.

Yes, I agree. Still unfortunate. I think the concept was very promising. But Intel had no appetite for burning money on it to see where it would go in the long run.

This would be incredibly hard to enforce, though. How would you properly tax a billionaire being driven by a minimum-wage earning driver, for example? How would the MTA get salary data for people commuting in from out of state, etc.
It's very possible that the averages over the population we see in the paper reflect a gradient of musical experience rather than an abstract notion of "pleasantness." Many trained musicians I know with a great ear have a very hard time with non-ET fifths and thirds, even knowing that ET is a grand compromise (all tunings are). We must learn through exposure - and admonitions from teachers to have better intonation - that ET is correct and everything else is wrong.

I also have to say that the idea of making "pleasant" intervals is a bit reductive to begin with: unequal temperament tunings in modern use are often chosen to give a piece a particular "color" regardless of how "pleasant" the intervals are in a vacuum.
> There is no "CBD" in Manhattan. It's a made up term created for this program to make the pill less bitter. Let's be real, it's half the fucking island and where mostly everyone in the city works and shops. That's no small number.

But it's not half of the city. NYC is more than Manhattan.
Maybe Manhattanites should have to pay $15/day to park their cars on the street. That would quickly curb traffic issues in the city.
Chicago is like this as well.

Copenhagen airport is my favourite too - note however that Arlanda T5 is being expanded at the moment and it seems like it will be a lot nicer when they're finished. The security stuff is already much better: no need to unpack laptops etc. from hand luggage when going through the new section. T2 is still quite sucky though!
Yes! We support Windows, MacOS, and some actions on mobile. Trying to track time when you're running from place to place (ie. law firm partners) is super tough
Codegen is coming online as we speak. We do codegen from TypeSpec in Azure across multiple languages, and the results are pretty great. We're moving that over to the TypeSpec project so everyone can generate code. Obviously my opinion is biased, but I think the results are significantly better than what you find elsewhere in the ecosystem.

I think one of the biggest mistakes is that they just mostly put money into compute. They’d be better off investing in high-quality, human-generated data that covers every metric they’re interested in. That’s both knowledge and domain-specific application. Id go further for multi-modal to license examples of everything a human sees, hears, and does in their life up to college age. Keep mixing that with new architectures to match human performance. Then, lots of spin-offs of textual and multi-modal models with domain-specific, fine tuning like CompSci people are doing.

If they did that, we’d see even larger leaps in their performance. They could also build custom models on this stuff while charging customers for the data mixes they use. Those sales would incentivize more high-quality data to be created.
These things have a high 'what might have been' future factor, but man they are annoying in practice. Because you have to wait for everyone to cram inside, it feels much slower than a train or moving walkway. They're very frustrating after a long flight when you just want to get to customs and get home.
> i mean does the pay stub simply not reflect all the hours they worked?

That's very common, yes. Bosses simply lie about the hours worked or force employees to work undocumented hours.

> are they talking about overtime?

Overtime is a frequent target of wage theft because it costs the employer more per hour.

> is this for part time work or full time?

Yes for both.

> for full time, it should just be 40 hours, how does the employer not pay out the full 40 hours?

Sure. Who's gonna stop 'em? Wage theft claims are difficult to document, expensive to litigate, and usually the people being robbed are the more powerless workers: young people, recent immigrants who face a language and culture barrier, and people simply ignorant of the their rights under the law.
My biggest frustration when working with AsyncAPI is how different it's bundling logic is versus OpenAPI tooling, like Redocly.

They're both based on JSON Schema, but AsyncAPI's bundling logic seems to fall down a lot when facing `$ref` in strange places (even though the actual spec allows), such as ref'ing an entire channel or operation.

Looking at boats, it looks a lot like regular open/async api spec documents, with a few features sprinkled in. How great is the transpiled output? Does it pass standard validators provided by OpenApi and AsyncApi? Does it support AsyncApi 3.x?

I played around some with the data, which they linked. This is a quick and dirty analysis but it seems like the standard deviation in the data is a lot higher than 0.4 and their thesis has more support:

They do host other open models as well (pay-per-token).
There's been a lot of talk about lawyers shifting off the billable hour model and towards value-based billing. We think fixed fee models will take many years to saturate the market, but things are definitely heading in that direction (esp. for simple / repeatable projects)

> Management believes they can replace most of these employees with LLM-based automation

In the writing world, too. I’ve yet to hear of attempts at it being anything but a wasteful distraction. Probably works fine if you don’t care about accuracy or quality (and some use cases for writing don’t! Spam, astroturfing, paid trolling, mass-message scams) but otherwise LLMs aren’t close to replacing 80% of your content department. Maybe 5% at best.

But that doesn’t seem to have dampened enthusiasm for trying, yet.
Nested virtualization also works great on ESXi for macOS guests ( so you can run docker desktop if so inclined ). I believe this is possible with proxmox as well with CPU=host but have not tried it.

For graphics, another cool thing is intel iGPU pci passthrough - I have had success with this when running esxi on my 2018 mac mini https://williamlam.com/2020/06/passthrough-of-integrated-gpu...
On average this doesn’t matter. Humans are a whole lot more predictable and pattern based than you seem to be implying.

Also, if you’re trying to aim to a specific deficit, you should be calorie counting your food. If you got fatty dressing, you should be counting that. Even estimating is relatively easy once you do it for awhile. And if you don’t get it quite right, being a little off shouldn’t impact your overall average too much. It keeps you honest, which I think is by and large the main reason people don’t think they can lose weight: dishonest assessments of food consumption.
Thanks for the reference! This is essentially what I had in mind - allow typespec as input and transparently convert to openapi then feed to the existing process.

I suspect there's potential for some loss of information with this approach (I'm relatively new to typespec so not sure) but I plan to do this as a first pass and then consider a more direct approach later if I see gaps worth fixing.

> Ubers and taxis will be paying this $15 charge so that will bring the cost to pretty close to $100 each way from Midtown to JFK.

Isn't it $15/day? Amortized over a couple of airport round trips, I doubt it would make a big difference.

> NYC already tacks on a lot of taxes and fees onto Ubers making them so incredibly expensive. I can remember trips 10 years ago that were $16 that are now closer to $40.

Which is generally the right way to go, in my view – taxis and Ubers shouldn't ever be a cost-efficient alternative to public transit in a city as large and dense as New York.

What's ridiculous about the AirTrain is that it's paid when connecting to the subway, while it's completely free (as far as I know) for private cars to pick up or drop off passengers at the terminal. That's just the wrong incentive.
I would say be cognizant that a major cloud provider might always just contact you out of the blue and say they after a few years of usage they blew away your VPS, and have no recovery for it, and you should rebuild it from scratch off your last backup.

I already was using more than one service but I cancelled Rackspace when this happened, although was not making enough yet to be fully and automatically redundant. It was a pain to suddenly have to drop everything and rebuild the service, as it broke the entire service I was offering. Actually I rebuilt everything on my existing service at Linode (now Akamai), and then got a VPS at Ramnode as my backup. So it was a lot of work suddenly thrown at me that I didn't need. Luckily, while my backup practices are not completely ideal, I do follow the 3-2-1 backup rule enough that it wasn't catastrophic.

Here's the message I got from Rackspace in 2019:

This message is a follow-up to our previous notifications regarding cloud server, "c0defeed". Your cloud server could not be recovered due to the failure of its host.

Please reference this ID if you need to contact support: "CSHD-5a271828"

You have the option to rebuild your server from your most recent server image or from a stock image. Once you have verified that your rebuilt server is online, you must (1) Copy your data from your most recent backup or attach your data device if you use Cloud Block Storage and (2) Adjust your DNS to reflect the new server’s IP address for any affected domains. When you have verified that your rebuilt server is online, with your data intact, you will need to delete the impacted server from your account to prevent any further billing associated with the impacted device.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

My prediction: As soon as they cut interest rates, probably around June or July of this year, firms will start investing again and the hiring will follow. Probably will have a sellers market for labor like during the pandemic.
The way Palantir talks about the CIA really rubs me the wrong way. For years, they would leak to journalists that Palantir "found bin Laden" when, of course, it had nothing to do with finding him. Several CIA employees died trying to find Bin Laden, all for some schmucks in Silicon Valley to try and capitalize on their sacrifice.
Surprisingly, in some cases yes. The most important thing for us is accurately capturing time worked, and then we leave it up to the attorney how much they want to bill vs. write off
I'd start by removing this false dichotomy between Arch and Debian. I think doing this unfairly promotes Debian in a light that is unwarranted. Debian is not easier or more stable(for desktop), that is just the marketing niche they fell under. Not to mention, there are many more families than Arch and Debian. To me, nothing holds a candle to Fedora.

Debian is fine for servers, but due to it using outdated Kernels and software, it makes being a daily user difficult.

Bought a nvidia GPU laptop with trackpad in 2023? On Debian, the GPU, Trackpad, and reddit videos are all going to require grandmas to breakout the terminal just to use them. (FYI the GPU thing is finally updated as they moved to Kernel 6)
The stations are filthy, have poor accessibility, the signage is tattered, the PA systems almost never work, the ETAs are often wrong if they’re even offered. That’s aside from the not uncommon sights and smells of piss in the cars themselves. The bus system is a different crapshoot altogether.

I find it interesting how often when people complain about how poor the experience is, there are those like you who seem to be quite content with maintaining a fairly low standard.

It's a pretty big global airport, isn't it? Maybe for freight more than passangers, but I definitely know the name and I've never been to the Netherlands.

A quick look on wikipedia says it has about the same passenger and freight numbers as JFK, though I guess that's more well known because of all the sitcoms set in New York.
You can go to JFK for $11.15 including taxes and fees from pretty much anywhere in NYC. LGA is even cheaper!

Oh nice, I've designed something similar before. You can do this within a single array by always adding new elements to the end of the array and performing an in-place merge of adjacent equal-sized bins. So the example given would look like:

1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 9, 13, 5

The structure is implicit in the size (as mentioned in the article). No need for an explicit array-of-array structure.

----

A related data structure I've been playing around with in F# (but haven't had time to write up) --

1. Instead of merging arrays, just append them.

2. Instead of arrays, use binary trees.

3. Instead of an array of these arrays/binary trees, use a linked list (so, a linked list of complete binary trees of strictly increasing depth). Omit elements whose trees are empty.

4. Put two of these back to back ("large" ends touching).

5. Recognize that if one of these lists is empty, a binary tree (or half of one) can be moved from the back of the other list to populate it.

Now you have a purely functional double-ended list with log(n) indexing, insertion, deletion, and append, while retaining a high degree of sharing.

----

Similarly, another related data structure I've been playing around with in Prolog --

1. No merging or appending.

2. Instead of arrays, use binary trees.

3. Instead of an array of these arrays/binary trees, use an infinite linked list, in order of increasing depth.

4. Do not explicitly instantiate this structure. Represent everything initially as a logic variable, only expanding linked list and binary tree nodes as needed.

5. Place two of these back to back, and add one extra logic variable in-between.

Now you have a purely relational array with integer indexes, supporting log(n) indexing and assignment, no upper or lower bound, and native Prolog unification. (Which coincidentally is in identical to the notion of "array" in SMTLIBv2.)

----

TLDR sequences of complete binary trees of increasing depth can be used for many interesting data structures.

I provide a study from the National Library of Medicine.
This study provides a nuanced view of the topic here,
and provides a lot of data.

If you did read the scientific study I linked to, then you would now know
that land that "food animals" occupy is often not at all suited for other forms
of agriculture.

You would also know that various food animals can be fed and raised on
waste from other agricultural processes that humans could not consume.

I don't think it's that crazy, even if you're sure it's fair use I wouldn't paint a huge target on my back before there's a definite ruling and I doubly wouldn't test the waters of the legality of re-hosting copyrighted content to be downloaded by randos who won't be training models with it.

If they're going to get away with this collecting data and having a legal chain-of-custody so you can actually say it was only used to train models and no one else has access to it goes a long way.

If you're driving into Midtown you're already out $50 a day on parking, with no legal limits on the amount they're allowed to raise the prices

Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree on all counts and it really is decades behind other (non-US) cities – but again, I'd take it over driving a car myself and having to worry about traffic and parking any day, congestion charge or not.

I don't have a great idea for addressing all of these problems, but I strongly suspect that people who can afford it opting out of public transit in favor of cars would be even worse.
