> I end up having to add extra time if I sleep past my alarm

I find this one a painful design decision on the Apple team's part. The end time of the normal desired sleep schedule does not mean the literal end of sleep every day. I wish they wouldn't clip the data at the end of the sleep schedule. Maybe it's because they're using heuristics and so all the data is guesstimates?
Back in those days, that was quite a lot of memory. An entire megabyte was an amazing luxury. My high school's PDP-11/34 was maxed out with 128Kwords (256 KB), and it was configured for at least 12 (maybe 16) users, with up to 56 KB user memory + 8 KB of run-time system per user and swapping handling the overload. But, back then, memory was an expensive luxury - that KIM-1 had all of 1K, so you had to make every byte count.

Almost, but dejavu doesn't search nearest-neighbors. It searches for exact matches, so its robustness is essentially based on oversampling. Nearest neighbor search might be a way to achieve similar robustness with fewer fingerprints - assuming it results in fewer false negatives. LSH is one way to approach nearest neighbor search. So in theory you could modify dejavu with an LSH-based NN search and potentially increase robustness with less data, modulo whatever tradeoffs are necessary for computing NN search.

>All I know is neither Trudeau nor Pollviere will do anything about it

I guarantee there will be massive changes over the next 24 months. We've already seen some kick in [0]. Donations to a party kind of don't matter when you get absolutely obliterated at the polls because of this abuse.

It's actually interesting looking at your various posts on this. In another you claim that Canada isn't worth the trouble but as a stepping stone to the US....but then you casually rationalize outrageous immigration fraud (both in the case of this company, and in the case of your apparent family member that should be jailed). Do you maybe, perhaps, see a bit of a link between these positions?

But again, it hit a breaking point. A breaking point and beyond. To say there has been an enormous sentiment shift would be understating it.

[0] - Moments ago Trudeau gave a press conference where he noted that "immigration has grown at a rate far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb". For Trudeau to be saying this, after years of his government basically making the mere questioning of rates verboten, is quite incredible. It is a sea shift moment.
Who decides what % is high? In the UAE and Qatar close to 90% of the population are foreign workers on visas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_im...

There was a recent vote in the Parliament of Canada on the topic of immigration rates (and in particular about the Century Initiative goal of raising Canada's population to 100 million): https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/votes/44/1/322?view=par... -- 170 members of the Canadian Parliament supported high immigration, and 138 were opposed to it. It of course fell along partisan lines -- with 100% of members of the Liberal, NDP, and Green parties supporting high immigration, and 100% of the Conservative and BQ parties opposing high immigration.

Rate of immigration is a subjective matter, and any attempt to misrepresent it as being objective is dishonest; since it entirely depends on political opinion. A white nationalist likely sees multi-cultural immigration as terrible (unless those immigrants are all white), whereas many liberal/progressive people have a fairly welcoming attitude towards immigrants (something which is reflected in Canadian federal immigration policy).

Strategic Decision Making for Engineers [pdf]
I'm hoping we can avoid the 'noise' of the often-repeated generic criticisms of journalism and look at Younge's - a long-time journalist for the Guardian - specific critique.

Whenever you see news of something that has been going on for years or decades, that means the world ignored it. Younge talks about how and why. For example, many of the issues around law enforcement abuse that reached the world's attention around 2020 had been there, and had been talked about by its victims, for generations. How did we miss it all?

And remember that those internal memos are for us, not some other - for people on HN (I'd expand it beyond the upper class, perhaps $20M+ in assets, to the privileged class, perhaps can-safely-afford-whatever-they-need professionals). I've conditioned myself to ask, how did I miss it? Some answers:

* Most of all, human instinct is to follow the herd. If everyone says it's ok to overlook X, then that's what I tend to do. And also, it's hard to think for yourself, by yourself: we not only instinctively follow norms, they become our reality - if you observe something, and nobody else talks about it or notices it or accepts it as true, by a year later is it still real in your mind?

* While I think journalism is generally a fantastic institution, even the best journalism doesn't quite internalize these things. There might be an article here or there, but the journalists and columnists don't internalize it - they don't include it as context in other stories and analyses and opinions on the same issues, like they didn't read the article. So unless you happen to read and make efforts to remember that article, it gets lost in an ocean of news. They seem stuck on norms too though they are often on the leading edge of changing them. (Younge talks about this.)

Solutions, IMHO, which have worked very well for me:

* Shut up. I mean it. Shut the f- up and let people speak for themselves. When I finish their sentence or interrupt with my idea - even in my head, but if you do it out loud even a little bit, most humans will for whatever reason just forget themselves and follow your line, which means you never hear theirs, and that's why I don't know these things. Be curious, follow their line, let them paint their picture which has nothing to do with your norms, your experience, or whatever you expected - if I knew it all already (a ridiculous idea), I wouldn't have been ignorant.

* Evaluate things on their merits and not on social norms. It puts you far ahead of the curve, including in business and technology. Social norms can take a decade or generations to catch up, and people will push back against threats to them, angrily at times - it's the same thing any founder developing disruptive tech runs into. Expect it: First they'll laugh at you (ridicule the person outside the norm), then they'll say it's not in the scripture (or whatever the orthodoxy, when it becomes a threat), then they'll say they believed it all along (when it becomes normalized).

Ahhh, sorry.

Yeah that sounds like a significant difference.

I know nothing about Canada's immigration issues, but I did listen to a conservative podcast[1] the other day and at 20:30 it mentioned the 2023 numbers for Canada were:

• 1.27M immigrants

• 471k settling

• 804k temporary residents

So unless our sources are careful how they measure immigration there's a lot of scope for misunderstanding.

No idea why your number is 550k and the podcast mentions 804k.

> I'm 100% convinced your source has badly incorrect data for Canada.

The 249,000 number is sourced from a file provided by the World Bank. It isn't obvious where the World Bank get their number from. Don't ask me!!! Yeah, it looks wrong, but I don't care enough about the topic to go into it further.

Either way from the foreign born population percentages it is very clear that Australia and New Zealand have been accepting lots of immigrants for years and Canada would need to have much larger immigration numbers to get close to catching up.

If you are interested in the effects of immigration on Canada, then keep an eye on Australia and New Zealand to see how it is affecting them.

> For a country of 26M that's 2.1% which is still extremely large but well below 2.5%.

You are comparing chickens to bandicoots. Either compare residents or compare totals including temporary. You are being epically misleading to compare between the two.

From your own numbers, resident immigrant growth is ~1% for Canada (471k/40M) and 2.1% for Australia... I would guess New Zealand is around the 2% mark. I have little idea about temp numbers, but they are not zero.

I've personally just been looking at having a student guest rent a room at my place for $250 per week - students don't create as much pressure on housing. Permanent immigrants definitely do.

You seem to me to be trying to misinform.

When people talk about the problems of immigration they are not generally talking about temporary students and temporary workers. Might as well as add tourists on too - they are a contentious issue where I live.

I mostly care about immigration numbers, but you are using temp numbers. Yeah, Canada's temp numbers are whacko and that is discussed in the podcast: the temp student numbers surely can't be sustainable for Canada in the long term.

> ever be built in unity bc why do they need to ship a physics engine with their photo editor.

I know you narrowly mean "rigidbody physics for the purpose of videogames." But Adobe did ship a physics engine with their photo editor! They discontinued their "3D" support, and raytracing is most definitely physics with a capital P, but they were shipping it for a long time. If you have an even more normal definition of physics, to include optical physics, well they have a CV solution for many features like camera RAW processing, removing distortion, etc.

Because that is what people need to make multimedia applications.

> Personally i find the idea of deceptive advertising and breach of contract with no recourse to be wrong too.

How is it deceptive marketing? It's an online game. It should be well understood in today's world that something that is Online and requires online functionality to work may shut down at some point.

If it is truly an online game, something that does not work single player.

I would agree with you if we are only talking about single player games that require an online connection to play. Those are wrong.

But that isn't what this seems to be focusing on.
From the link to the study:

> For the human writing process, we looked at humans’ total annual carbon footprints, and then took a subset of that annual footprint based on how much time they spent writing.

So, they aren't asking "does a human painter use more electricity to do a painting than an AI?" ... they are asking "is it more energy efficient for an AI to do a painting, or for a human to exist for several hours?".

That is, it doesn't take into account that the human would exist and have a carbon footprint anyway, even if not employed as an artist. It's devised as if employers created their employees, and seems to speculate about the potential energy saving in exterminating them.

> emissions of the computing devices used during the writing process are also considered

And their graphs show this as exceeding AI emission by a lot (due to AI being quick). This is a fair point, but they only needed this part. They shouldn't have thrown in the person's annual carbon footprint on top of this. Also, traditional art is presumably much less expensive in carbon.

And as somebody else pointed out, the use of devices will be part of the carbon footprint data in the first place, so it gets (partly) double-counted.

I made that mistake of partnering up with non technical co-founder to build travel insurance "configurator" to get the best deal on travel insurance. Only I discovered there were more co-founders like his wife "to do some accounting" and his buddies to do whatever.

And I was the only technical person who was supposed to build the thing, to launch it and they were the ones nit-picking little stupid details that took forever to fix but didn't matter all that much.

In the end I spent 5 months working on it and we still didn't get any paying clients, but many more ideas on what else I should build "to get clients". I realized they suck at marketing and business side of things and they don't know shit.

If you're a tech person, don't make the same mistake I did. Most people don't understand marketing. Their ideas are shit. They don't know the technology. And YOU are the one who's gonna be doing most of the work. And THEY think that the business belongs to them because as someone said they "came up with the idea" that wasn't all that unique because everything that's needed under the sun has already been built. Many times over. They had just no idea that that's the truth. Now if they have the money and want to hire you to do the work, charge them market rate.

I've heard SSDs are more likely to "fail fast".

Can anyone recommended utilities that monitor and warn before SSD failures?
To be clear: ChatGPT-4 is in general both far too fast and far too stupid for humans to be answering any more than a tiny fraction (<< 1%) of the queries.

But last year I repeatedly saw ChatGPT-4 respond token-by-token much more slowly than a human would! E.g. several seconds between words. It was clearly not a human responding: at least a few times I was testing on preschool counting questions and GPT-4 was not able to answer them. I interpreted the slowness as GPT's poor quantitative reasoning. But what you're saying is simply not true, sometimes ChatGPT-4 is (or was) extremely slow.

Regardless, if OpenAI was running this con it probably wouldn't have been real-time humans writing. First of all it might be enough to have a human in the "mixture of experts" who decides the best of multiple responses when GPT-4 is unable to come to an automated conclusion. But humans could be writing ChatGPT responses due to a quirk in their UX:

- ChatGPT errors out on a certain question and asks you to try again later, as it does (or used to do) frequently

- the response is prepared by the human contractor while the user waits patiently for ChatGPT to resolve its technical difficulty

- when the user asks again ChatGPT can largely read off the answer, using its (genuine) language-processing abilities to handle variations in phrasing/etc

Or cmake, or any other modern build system aside from autotools.

Heck, even just a Makefile and code with a few ifdefs is enough for fairly simple code.

A lot of the complexity of autoconf / libtool is totally unneeded. I was very glad when I ripped out libtool from a project at an older employer in the early 2000s. Even when building libraries on Windows, Mac OSX, AIX, Linux, FreeBSD & Solaris, libtool was not worth the complexity.
> Those are automated and work well. Waymo's automatic driving, but not Tesla's.

If Tesla geofenced their FSD applications as aggressively as Waymo, I suspect the two would be near peers. You can hide an incredible lack of a capability by artificially limiting the scope of your application.

> This is a useful metric for gauging real progress.

Sure, cost / benefit analysis is always useful. I would propose a broader analysis for grading “AI” disruption though.

1. Are humans involved at any step?

2. What is the probability of success?

3. What is the consequence of failure? (Profit loss / property loss / personal injury, etc…)

4. How many variations on a domain (think winter driving, summer driving, driving in a tropical storm, driving dirt roads in a jungle, etc) can the application work in while maintaining consistent performance?

5. Can the model leverage its “learnings” to solve problems / reason about new domains that it hasn’t been trained on?

That’s just a few metrics I can think of off the top of my head that would help to distinguish a true disruptor from the hype.
It's kind of pathetic to make silly threats that everyone knows they have zero ability to carry out.

Nevermind the total absence of an attempt to control for quality, or, y'know, that the human goes on breathing after she finishes drawing, there are some real problems here

1. the human CO2e takes national, annual averages of CO2e and attributes the fraction of a year it takes to make a drawing to that drawing. they then _add_ to that the operating cost of whatever machine the person is using, which presumably is already a component of the national individual average?

2. The 'ChatGPT' baseline is GPT-3, not -3.5 or -4.

3. Training CO2e is from a cite I can't access, but is based on GPT-3 only.

4. They cite to some guy's post on Medium to estimate ChatGPT inference CO2e!? That admits it doesn't know the number of queries per day, or the compute time used, or the energy per compute (besides the TDP of A100s), or the carbon intensity of that energy???

This is a mess, and doesn't deserve a Nature publication.
