> They convinced young women that it’s a sign of independence to have an OF, the Europeans that Russia is an enemy, and half the western population that men can be women.

The latter has absolutely zero to do with the former, it's just a grab bag of reactionary culture complaints (and the Russia one is just straightforwardly true).

Which, ironically, is exactly what the global elites really want people to do: divide themselves over cultural issues and spend all of their time arguing with each other rather than come together and examine the financial system we all live under.

The technical side of it is a solved problem. Everything you look at is hosted on a web page. You get a URL that points to it. You send the URL to another person and they can reach it, maybe with some additional stuff for time-stamping and chapter breaks and such. For bonus stuff you can include some account management for each user to be able to interact with the content but it’s not necessary and doesn’t need to gate you just being able to watch the thing.

The problem emerges when companies need to monetize the hosting and delivery of the content. It’s 100% a business model challenge, not a technical one.
Perhaps I belong to the minority, but I really don't think about containers as Docker. Actually, I don't remember the last time I used Docker for anything. For the past several years, I've been using either Podman or systemd-nspawn, as yourself.
"A nuclear power plant hasn’t been built in Texas in decades because of cost and public fears of a major accident."

No, the reason it hasn't been built is just cost. With natural gas being as cheap as it is, new nuclear construction wasn't even vaguely competitive. Public fear had nothing to do with it.

A quote from 2018 from the then-President of Exelon, a guy named Crane:

https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article/71/12/26/904707/US...

> “The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.

(Henry Hub natural gas is $1.71/MMBtu right now, and that's not even adjusted for inflation)

ERCOT has a highly competitive electricity market. This is unlike the SE US, where utilities can force customers to pay above market rates for nuclear output.
I like this project from a technology perspective. However, the biggest consideration for selecting it would be its general a11y.
Those same people in charge seemly also are cozying up to degrowth which is at odds with historical capitalism. I don't think they have figured out what they want which is why the approach is schizophrenic --that want econ growth and degrowth, they want pop growth but also don't want growth so their bargain is to import the growth that they don't want...

I use both the API and the web interface as that’s more convenient. I hardly use Google anymore these days. These tools are well worth every penny for me. They save me endless hours of research/ parsing the results and bringing it in a format I can use.

Yay, DRM has arrived in AI land.
If you are going to that effort, you might also want a decent resolution. Say we aim for one megapixel (720p) and 30 frames per second, then we have to calculate 27.7 megapixel per second. If you get your FPGA to run at 500 MHz, that gives you 18 clock cycles per pixel. So you would probably want something like 100 cores keeping in mind that we also have to run vertex shaders. We also need quick access to a sizable amount of memory and I am not sure if one can get away with integer respectively fixed point arithmetics or whether floating point arithemtics is pretty much necessary. Another complication that I would expect is that it is probably much easier to build a long execution pipeline if you are implementing a fixed function pipeline as compared to a programmable processor. Things like out-of-order execution are probably best off-loaded to the compiler in order to keep the design simpler and more compact.

So my guess is that it would be quite challenging to implement a modern GPU in an affordable FPGA if you want more than a proof of concept.
I completely agree with you. We can mess it up, but at geological time scale, life will regenerate. Evolution is very robust.

No, because when I write I'm trying to convey a concept. The words are a means to the end, they aren't the end. I'm taking your written words, transforming them into ideas in my head, processing those ideas and then producing my own ideas and outputting words to try and match those ideas.

I know that my ideas and my words aren't the same thing because I'm always at least slightly unhappy with how I'm expressing myself, which tells me there is a separation and dissonance between the two.
I think CPAP is just convenient and inexpensive compared to surgery. If I ever have sleep apnea, I'd want the surgery.

I keep one-time keys between pages of some books on my shelf, and a copy in a safe deposit box. I suppose if I were publically known to have tons of money in "crypto" or were a target of a nation-state, this wouldn't be safe enough. But I think it's OK for my gmail and OneDrive, etc.
I don't think that "look, raw brute force has this property" is at all useful in this context where you'd obviously actually compare a real attack not brute force. There's no reason to believe (and every reason not to) that the same property somehow applies.

That Stack Exchange answer also immediately set off alarm bells in my head because it pretends to be entirely generic, but the obvious thing to do with entirely generic cryptographic intuitions is apply them to the One Time Pad and check their answers work. This intuition doesn't work. Even if you could try all the possible keys you learn nothing, because of the hand-waving about "plausible" plaintext.

I don't think Gemini's behavior (which matches that of Google image search btw) is related to trying to make Gemini safe. This was done deliberately as part of Google's corporate values of "diversity" gone mad.

Catch-22. If you sign off on postmodern culture, you loose. If you argue over talking points of postmodern culture, you loose.
Yeah, that's definitely fair. What I'm annoyed about is the "checkmate, computers" stance, pretending like the problems computers cannot solve could be solved by other means
Are asset prices insane? Home prices are high but in-line with the long-term trend on a real basis. The stock market is rallying but it's been mostly becasue earnings are good. Why would you mention the great depression? To be honest it makes you seem unhinged and not credible.
Sleep studies collect a lot of data, but that may or may not translate into an actual intervention depending on the situation. As I understand it, they're mostly useful for detecting when sleep is disrupted, which can then potentially fit a profile for e.g. sleep apnea or be correlated to some other physiological indicator.

As for lifestyle changes, I'm not an expert in sleep science, but I've tried to read some of the literature to understand what works, since I struggle with sleep quality. As far as I can tell, a lot of the specific suggestions that often get thrown around (even by otherwise reputable sources, sadly) are somewhere between speculative and pseudoscience. There is some evidence that "sleep hygiene" interventions as a whole might have some kind of effect, but the individual components aren't typically tested, the studies usually aren't adequately controlled, and the effect is often exaggerated (e.g. by highlighting questionable measures like "sleep efficiency").

CBT-I has better evidence, although it's also not entirely clear which components are really worth the trouble (the evidence for sleep restriction seems pretty strong; the "CBT" elements less so, but it may be that they help different subpopulations), and clinicians who actually have experience delivering CBT-I are not readily available in many places.
Conceptually, I've come to think of containers as a kind of "known-good starting point", the origin of a coordinate system where "movement" is adding things. A set of Dockerfiles form a trie where each line of the Dockerfile is a node in that trie's branch. The great benefit of containers is that they allow you to reach any possible point in the space for a single process, without affecting any other. The other features of containers are, to me, secondary, things like container images, or even access or resource control. The main draw of the tool is giving the user a declarative way to move reliably and repeatedly through system-space, and to do so for any number of processes. (The main cost is the ~20% overhead such a system incurs).
Thanks for sharing. Didn't know about this and I really think the Geneva conventions need an update to include this kind of thing.
Are you sure you understand your current stance? Can you explain why your approach is necessarily optimal, with no exceptions?
I’ve been using it in production and it works great. Makes a world of open source models just as easy to use as OpenAI.

Here’s my Ruby gem for it. https://github.com/OlympiaAI/open_router
Since the page didn't seem to link to it, here's a really great article about using SQLite in production for moderately-sized web apps: https://blog.wesleyac.com/posts/consider-sqlite

That article, along with the ability to have streaming backups with Litestream and not wanting to pay for a separate DB server, inspired me to use SQLite in my SaaS four years ago. I've been enjoying the operational simplicity a lot although there is not a lot of community documentation currently about tuning SQLite for web app loads. My app does about 120m hits a month (mostly cached and not hitting the DB) on a $14/month single-processor DigitalOcean droplet.

> The Claude models refused to perform a number of coding tasks and returned the error “Output blocked by content filtering policy”. They refused to code up the beer song program, which makes some sort of superficial sense. But they also refused to work in some larger open source code bases, for unclear reasons.

haha this is almost exactly why I wont use Claude models for any task. I can't risk something being blocked with a customer facing application.

Hell no. I'm just pointing out to the other poster that in addition to the fact that military warfighters have a different social calculus in play.

What I'm decrying, however, is our practice of letting actuaries and lawyers be the final arbiters of what is desirable to engineer.
The stock market may demand never ending growth, to keep generating positive returns. But how does capitalism itself (private ownership of production) demand never ending growth, any more than a planned economy would?
Absolute. I feel like society goes through changes in a similar cyclic way. We, as humans, basically have a finite span of understanding and attention, and so, basically create cycles that are longer than that.

It's zoning and transportation policy that pump housing prices to the moon, not onlyfans.

What prevents ownership? It's tax policy that rests heavily on capital-labor interactions and barely at all on capital-capital interactions. Monetary policy that deflates wages but not asset values. Trade policy that pumps assets and dumps exports.

Trans people did not do this. The self-serving policies of asset owners did this.
Because if there is someone who is at fault, their reaction will be to throw someone else under the bus. So you may end up with a situation where the person being blamed isn't actually the person responsible for the accident.

I would argue in a global sense its more tax-efficient that tax-advantaged (which is admittedly pedantic).

The main idea people need to remember is that if a company buys back its stock, someone else is selling it.

For equality sake, assume that it's been held for a year (so both the cap gains and equivalent dividend would be taxed at the same rates).

For an X amount of dollars, dividends and buybacks are going to generate the roughly a similar kind of 'tax footprint' for lack of a better term. The potential taxable events are just filtered to 'the entities that wanted to sell their shares' vs 'every equity holder'.

In what way? To take OP's examples, in what way do I lose when OnlyFans exists, or when people are able to change their gender if they wish to?
I can't speak for anyone else, but I definitely feel like there's no time to actually learn about all of these tools before being thrown into them by management/other well-meaning ICs. The end result is everyone is using a tool they know nothing about, with predictable results.

This was a lifesaver when my 90 year old mother forget her iMac password (and I forgot that I had created a second admin account on her machine.) After getting locked out of the iMac, we were able to reset it because we were able to get into her iPad (which she forgot the pin to, but fortunately we found it written down.)

Full disclosure I work at a company [1] attempting to address this very problem.

Without dedicated devops the challenge is allocating developer time to do the integration work required to get the various ops tools playing nicely together. In my experience that work is non-trivial and eventually leads to some form of dedicated ops.

That is also part of a dynamic -- lots of tools available for solving these problems exist because of dedicated ops. It's not easy for a team trying to build software to also take on these extra operational responsibilities.

What we're trying to do is create a highly curated set of what we think of as application primitives. These primitives include CI/CD, Logs, Services, Resources etc. Because they're already integrated it doesn't require developers to figure out API keys, access control, data synchronization, etc.

https://openai.com/policies/business-terms

Section 10 deals with the indemnification they are offering. There are a lot of limitations. It's definitely not terrible, but it's not remotely close to what a business actually wants in an indemnification agreement.

In 10.1 (the indemnification from them to you) does not include "hold harmless", but in 10.2 (the indemnification from you to them) it does. That's not an accident, and those aren't meaningless words ;)

If you get sued and notify OpenAI of the suit, their lawyers take over completely. You must do anything they ask (as long as it is "reasonable"), including sitting for depositions, preserving evidence, participating in the discovery process, etc. If you want to have any involvement beyond being told what to do, you have to hire your own lawyers at your own expense. And at the end of it all, they will come to a settlement with the other side. As long as it is "reasonable", you must sign it.

https://openai.com/policies/service-terms

> If there is a conflict between the Service Terms and your Agreement, the Service Terms will control

> This indemnity does not apply where: (i) Customer or Customer’s End Users knew or should have known the Output was infringing or likely to infringe, (ii) Customer or Customer’s End Users disabled, ignored, or did not use any relevant citation, filtering or safety features or restrictions provided by OpenAI, (iii) Output was modified, transformed, or used in combination with products or services not provided by or on behalf of OpenAI, (iv) Customer or its End Users did not have the right to use the Input or fine-tuning files to generate the allegedly infringing Output, (v) the claim alleges violation of trademark or related rights based on Customer’s or its End Users’ use of Output in trade or commerce, and (vi) the allegedly infringing Output is from content from a Third Party Offering.

If you knew or should have known, you're on your own. If you didn't follow the rules exactly, you're on your own. If you used the output in commerce and they claim a trademark violation, you're on your own.

And lastly, remember from the business terms that OpenAI's lawyers take control and you must do whatever they ask in terms of depositions and discovery? In dealing with all that information, if they see any indication that you no longer qualify for indemnification OpenAI is going to say goodbye, send all the legal bills to you.

It's better than nothing, for sure. But not all that confidence-inspiring.

It's all the vague similarities - pandemics, wars, economic boom suspiciously looking like a bubble (be it the fact that many people can no longer afford housing, or that anyone and their grandfather is investing somehow).

So nothing conclusive, but if we had conclusive metrics to point to that could indicate an economic bust is coming, we would be able to implement policies to prevent them.
I am curious how perplexity handles the rate limiting. I use it a lot during the course of the day and find no rate limiting while Claude 3 Opus set as the default model.
Yeah, it’s clear why you can’t have a single optimized C version.

However, can’t you have 5 different non-portable optimized C versions, just like you do with the assembly code?

SIMD intrinsics are generally portable across compilers and OSes, because their C API is defined by Intel, not by compiler or OS vendors. When I want software optimized for multiple targets like SSE, AVX1, AVX2, I sometimes do that in C++.
Social security is probably pretty low on the list of concerns if the younger generation(s) effectively give up.

The failure mode I've seen with ChatGPT in technical things is it's right often enough that when it's wrong it's hard for you to catch unless you know more than it does. I guess that's true of teachers sometimes as well, but it's easier to rely habitually on ChatGPT's judgment.

For linear algebra specifically, the software tools like Matlab, Octave, Sage, and R are so good that they can answer a lot of your questions. You can even ask ChatGPT e.g. "3x3 matrix A having columns (4,2,2), (-1,1,-1), and (6,6,8) and an eigenvalue of 2, print a GNU octave command to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A."
