The article asks a very general/philosophical question, but then goes on to say the FD is not really that special because we can find other sets of orthogonal bases and transforms between them.

I would argue that despite this fact the frequency domain and by extension the FT is special compared to many other transforms, because we can actually observe them in nature. Two examples: a lens will perform a 2D FT of an input image on a collimated beam, we can observe this with e.g. a screen. Second example, we can measure the wavelength (or frequency) of light by projecting the output of a grating or prism onto a ccd again a direct measurement of the FD (similar measurement can be done for RF waves).
The only way I can model what you're trying to say, is if I assume you think "the mind" is a separate kind of substance, and not merely information processing that just happens to be implemented on biological electrochemistry in our skulls.

A (philosophical) dualist can easily say that no computation is ever intelligent. I don't think this can ever be said by a (philosophical) materialist.
0. Python is not that bad!

1. Why not just use Rust or Julia?
I would say that the startup world is now a business itself alike Hollywood. There are script writers, producers, director, actors, and at the end you have a list of thousand people who created the movie.

Probably, this is a natural evolution that ends up in a "mass media" phenomenon, and we need to find a new space or branch that is different and more realistic (for the benefit of the market AND the people).

IMHO, startups are ill-defined (e.g. "infinite" scaling) and the use of "life-style business" is derogatory if we try to define a startup that doesn't want to scale at inifinitum or is wise to wait for the real opportunity. I always use the example of Nintendo, or even Intel. Nintendo started selling playing cards and Intel business were RAM memories.

I would say, like in a Zen koan [1], that we need "alternative startups" or "underground startup culture" more than "indy startups". It sounds weird because the use of "alternative" and "underground" is against a system but startups are in the system but koans are good for thinking on this.

Thank you for advice, don't have instagram so not sure about that part. Pushing away toxic folks comes from raw experience - I can't help them, thats always the case eventually, they just drag me and everybody else down their drain.

Maybe its just about meaning of those words - "i just do not like a person. No one forces me to deal with them." - sounds like my approach too, the key is to recognize it quickly, so I can focus time and energy on those more compatible with me.
Few people here ever bother to read past the title.
I suspect it was the primary purpose, and anything else sounds like cleaned up reasons for publication.

As it wouldn't be hard to stand on one in the shadows.
Indeed. But I said "X is not magic", rather than "X is not special" — until we have an answer to the hard problem of consciousness (or agree which of the 40 definitions of the word "consciousness" we're using when discussing if an AI has it), we can't possibly determine if an LLM has it or not.

(My gut feeling says "LLMs are not conscious", but my gut has had a lot of false beliefs over the years as well as correct ones, so I give it a corresponding level of trust).
and I believe someone pointed out that there were commits on yom kippur? that is a day basically no one works. The skies are closed, the roads are empty and everyone is bicycling on all the available streets, including highways.

Seems like DuckDB or TileDB backed by S3 may meet your needs and be a lot cheaper than Aurora.
well, they shut this down probably because they cannot afford to keep a product that bring little revenue. I never heard of AWS retiring a product (I am excluding ancient stuff like VPC classic and SimpleDB, both had an upgrade path to something superior)
Afraid to ask but not afraid to insult?
Be that as it may - if you already have Kubernetes up and running, what would be the additional value of having both PM2 running alongside Kubernetes?

Fwiw, last time I asked myself this question my conclusion was that there was no additional value, and we opted to not use PM2. This was a long time ago however, so take it with a grain of salt.
In urban areas, the limiting factor in urban housing supply isn't the cost of construction, it's the finite quantity of land with a valid state-granted construction permit. We could innovate until the cost of construction approached $0, but if there's fewer homes supplied than there are people demanding them, the prices will rise.

This is why in Brooklyn, an entire townhouse can cost $2.7m, while the neighbouring plot of empty land costs $2.4m, then a short walk away an un-permited empty plot is $700k. The item of value in the housing market market is weirdly mostly not houses.

>In the humanities

>In the 20th century, structuralism in the humanities is associated with Emile Durkheim and Georg Simmel in sociology, Ferdinand de Saussure (and later Roman Jakobson) in linguistics, and Claude Lévi-Strauss in anthropology.

Ferdinand de Saussure, Écrits de linguistique générale:

>The notion of identity will be, in all these orders, the necessary basis, the one that serves as an absolute basis: it is only through it and in relation to it that we can then determine the entities of each order, the primary terms that the linguist can legitimately believe to have before them.

>(Vocal Order) Flow of ideas: Everything that is declared identical by form, in opposition to what is not identical, is a finite term, which is not yet defined and can be arbitrary but represents for the first time a knowable object, while the observation of specific vocal facts outside the consideration of identity represents no object. A certain vocal being is thus constituted and recognized in the name of an identity that we establish, and then thousands of others are obtained using the same principle, we can begin to classify these identity patterns of all sorts that we take, and are obliged to take, for the primary and specific and concrete facts, although they are each in their infinite diversity only the result of a vast prior operation of generalization.

>Couldn't we limit ourselves to implying this great fundamental operation? Isn't it obvious from the outset that as soon as we talk about a group, for example, we mean the generality of cases where a group exists, so there is little subtle interest in recalling that this entity is fundamentally and primarily based on an identity?

>We will immediately see that it is not allowed to substitute abstract entities for the fact of the identity of certain concrete facts with impunity because we will deal with other abstract entities, and the only pole in the middle of this will be identity or non-identity.

I'll be generous, and assume that. I tend to get a lot of young folks, telling me that I'm an empty boaster (spoiler: I'm not). Some of them actually seem to be obsessed, which is sort of flattering (I guess).

If that's the case, then I'll certainly apologize. Maybe I'm a cynic.

I don't really have a desire to be BMOC. It's just that this is the only place I engage in any kind of social media, and most folks seem to like what I post.

I've done a lot, over the years. I've worked amongst some of the best and the brightest, and I'm fairly used to being the dumbest guy in the room.

I know that there's many folks, out there, that make me look like a knuckle-dragger, and how ridiculous it is, for me to act like I'm King Shit. Maybe those folks don't feel the need to chime in, around here.

In the case of this posting, a question was asked, and I answered it, in what may actually be too much detail. The company I worked for, had (still has) a real paranoia, when it comes to intellectual property.

I just figured that folks might want to hear stories from the trenches (I have a lot -many that can't be told). That was what I assumed, from the question, and was merely participating in the community.
This exact topic came up in another thread a.few months ago, and I did some digging:

I believe the term "compute node" was first used in the context of the Intel ASCI Red supercomputer that was installed at Sandia in 1997. This later led to the Cray XT3, XT4, XT5 families of machines that used the same terminology.

But I believe the term was not in generic usage outside of those specific supercomputers until around 2005-2010.

And it is more recently that the term has been extended beyond referring to hardware.
It’s been a let-down to see the core of science (question everything, use the scientific method to learn step by step) get mocked and abused for politics.

It’s also been difficult to see “youth” become more of a priority over reason, capability, and wisdom. Especially as we have navigated the emptiness of the attention economy.

But then, I’ve also seen that these too have been patterns we’ve been repeating for millennia so maybe this is always what actual progress looks like “from the inside” (aka as you live through it’s present day)
All the areas of the US undergoing population growth absolutely require air conditioning to be livable spaces, like Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Arizona. AC is not optional in nearly every place substantial building is taking place.

Heat pumps mean that heating and cooling are provided by the same device, so the cost of having cooling as a well as heating is zero, having one means having the other.

Zoning costs are not well accounted for by the article since it’s based on all the housing that actually got built. Zoning cost to society also includes all the homes that didn’t get built because it was illegal to put a shovel in the ground.
I think everyone, one way or another, will always love to return “home” to their first graphical Linux environment :)

For me, it’s the look of Fedora Core 1/Red Hat of the same period.

I often wonder with these sort of things, where there are lots of write-ups by geeks who dive-deep into the details, why do people say "This has to be state sponsored!", "Look at the timestamps! Irrefutable proof!"

Yes this was sneaky and yes this was a "slow burn" but is there really anything in the xz case that requires more than just a single competent person? Anything that requires state-level of sponsorship? The fact that random individuals online are able to dissect it and work things out suggests that it is comprehendible by a single person.

What is to say it that this was not just one smart-yet-disgruntled person acting alone?
And I thought this was a piece of irony such that it didn't even need quotes. Silly me.
You're missing Scaleway as a provider I think.
At this point Teams is clearly junkware.

My calendar isn’t even capable of showing the right dates. So basically all my Monday events show up on Tuesday, Tuesday events on Wednesday, etc…

Yeah I really need to actually sit down and learn Nix, seems like it can solve this in a more general way for cases where the thing you want to run is packaged for Nix already.

I assume AWS fully automates their stuff so the maintenance is ~0 outside their normal datacenter and SRE stuff which amortizes the total cost to ~0, so why retire a service? Just stop development.

Got trapped by the same thing. Usage based billing is a huge pain point for us we were really excited by lago but dont want to self host infra if we can outsource it.

We ended up talking to about 5 different usage based billing API providers and basically no one is interested in servicing the sub $1000 per month market which is where we will realistically be for the next year as we grow.

Additionally lago and other providers advertise "no revenue cut" and then always quote pricing as a percentage of revenue (which is technical not a revenue cut except your fee scales pretty linarly with revenue).
Unknown for the actual largest due to secrecy; 1% for the largest public models… but also organic ones are definitely a bit different from digital ones, and the jury is still out if those differences matter and if so by how much.

The comparison would therefore be with a mid-sized rodent, horse, or raven rather than a human.

(But even that's misleading, because the LLM doesn't have to use tokens to represent "contract left supracoracoideus" and "lay egg").

Edit: also, I've not heard much suggestion that anyone knows how certain genes do things like giving humans the inherent capability to recognise and create smiles or other similar reflexes, so we don't really know how much of our brains a pre-trained by evolution; furthermore, I think organic life is more sample-efficient for learning things than any AI so far.
I used to think of it like another basis too, but nowadays I think this basis analogy is a bit fraught, or at least not the whole story.

In particular, for multidimensional spaces, the usual multidimensional Fourier transform only really works if you have a flat metric on that space (I.e. no curvature). That’s a bit of a warning signal given that our universe itself is curved.

There was some very interesting work recently where it was shown how to generalize Fourier series to certain hyperbolic lattices [1], and one important outcome of that work is that the analog of the Fourier space is actually higher dimensional than the position space.

Furthermore, the dimensionality of the ‘Fourier space’ in this case depends on the lattice discretization. One 2D lattice discretization may have a 4D frequency-like domain, and another 2D lattice might have a 8D frequency-like domain.

Is it any better than buildx cache then, that also stores caches in object storage (via OCI registry)?
Blockchain isn't a ledger for legal tender transactions. It's a ledger for tokens, which then have to be converted into an actual currency whose store of value isn't reliant on some Coinbase ticker.
IMO it’s capitalism that’s thrown a wrench in the whole thing.

As of 2024 (probly even as of 10 years ago) world-changing software can run for the fundamental cost of pennies a day but then that doesn’t justify cloud services, VC money, thousands of employees, the patent and copyright systems, vendor lock-in, subscriptions, or any of the hundreds of thousands of things that make money for various companies.
Did you find a good solution for this?

When Musk was the media darling, neither he nor his companies could be reported to have done anything wrong.

Now that he is Enemy for the media; neither he nor his companies can be reported to have done anything right (cf Starship tests).

This really is the level of sophistication the media runs at. Kindergarten personality dramas.
I bet it boils down to using a machine learning model for eye tracking with the analysis done with normal algorithms.
Or maybe 2004 Facebook which ran on a single box.

>Mark hosted Facebook (it was theFacebook.com back then) from his own computer in his Harvard dorm room. You can buy a domain name and point it to any static IP address. That's how we did things back then because we have fewer options for hosting services that didn't cost an absurd amount for a college student.

>Eventually, Facebook was hosted in a shared datacenter in California,..(off Quora)

Why is it so important to you that everyone recognizes this intelligence? What is at stake in your mind here?

This impulse towards reductivism/behaviorism in order to defend the LLMs is still profoundly interesting. It always ends up feeling like the person wants to be like an LLM, not the other way around. I think people feel lost in a deep way, and this line of thought becomes deeply comforting.

Like, so many people it seems want the future and themselves to become comprehensible all at once. "Why worry so much about myself? Im just a stochastic parrot like an LLM anyway.. Attention is all I need!"

I get it, life is hard. But we need to keep the dream alive. You gotta hope for better.

All this makes the future sound do dull. Like I am gonna wake up one day and all pizza will be shitty, tasteless pizza, but everyone will tell me: "well really look at it, it has cheese, sauce, toppings... Its pizza! You can eat it."
I think a lot of this is just journalist math.

> Some automakers, including Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Rivian, are reporting EV sales growth of more than 50% over the past year, noted Stephanie Valdez Streaty, an analyst with Cox Automotive, in a presentation summarizing industry trends in the new year. Ford later said its EV sales were up 86%.

“Looking at the data, the big [EV] slowdown is shaping up to be a Tesla slowdown,” said Valdez Streaty.

Tesla has something like 55% of the US EV market in 2023 so a competitor growing 50% would account for the same amount of additional sales as Tesla growing at about 5%.

Tesla is protected from Chinese competition in their home market and is riding the wave with Chinese manufactured cars with Chinese batteries in the rest of the world.
Mathematical structuralism was developed to explain the ontology of mathematical objects, and is often contrasted with Platonism, which is the position that numbers are real things like you or I.
I agree.

The hack took someone with a lot of skills, determination and time.

But doesn't that describe a significant portion of open source developers?

There is also clear motivation. Wouldn't the exploit have been worth many millions on the black market?

In case folks don't know, caching exists:

> A cache file is a shell script that caches the results of configure tests run on one system so they can be shared between configure scripts and configure runs. It is not useful on other systems. If its contents are invalid for some reason, the user may delete or edit it, or override documented cache variables on the configure command line.

> By default, configure uses no cache file, to avoid problems caused by accidental use of stale cache files.

> To enable caching, configure accepts --config-cache (or -C) to cache results in the file config.cache. Alternatively, --cache-file=file specifies that file be the cache file. The cache file is created if it does not exist already. When configure calls configure scripts in subdirectories, it uses the --cache-file argument so that they share the same cache. See Configuring Other Packages in Subdirectories, for information on configuring subdirectories with the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS macro.

The ability to replicate from a database service is an extremely important consideration when picking any DBaaS. If you cannot do a no-downtime migration out of a database provider, you are needlessly locking yourself into a vendor.
Sure it's not money on some C&D account, but it's just as visible (capital is stocks and other forms of equity, land, and other rights, like patents, royalties, options).

The US is still the wild west in many regards (from good old identity fraud to sheriffs/judges/prosecutors with license to bully anyone without the right connections) and of course the basically institutionalized various other scams come to mind (thriving MLMs, tax exempt religious orgs and megachurches, doctors turned sales-reps for opiates, payday loans, untouchable plants and mining operations polluting and leaving deadly open pits, you know ...), but if there's one thing you can't really fault the US for is getting lazy on private property regulations. And neither the IRS nor the CA FTB is known for being completely clueless.
"Binance’s head of financial crime compliance, Tigran Gambaryan..." was buried pretty deep in the article so I guess I can't blame you for thinking this guy is at the same level as a bunch of random mariners.

There’s something I’m seeing here if you don’t mind me teasing it out: as you got older you saw acquaintances as replaceable. I think younger people see their friends as people who will be around for life (and certainly some will) and who can’t be replaced but the reality is that many of them will fade out and be replaced regardless.

There was a recent Dwarkesh Patel interview of Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, who now have ex. national security people on their staff. He said that the assumption is that if a tech company has 10,000 or more employees then not only will you almost certainly have leakers, but there is also a high likelihood there is an actual spy among your staff. This is why they use need-to-know compartmentalism, etc.

I wonder what our success rate is in identifying industrial spies? 50%?
