> The two are fundamentally incomparable

You're not wrong. A paradigm shift is not an incremental change but a disruption of fundamentals.

> From my perspective the implications of this are dire.

These changes are scary, especially as people try to come to practical terms with the new reality.

> AI can completely remove the human element. The skill, creativity, and collaboration required to produce music is a big part of my appreciation for it.

I still hate autotune. I feel that it ruined music. But, on the other hand, it allowed people who were excellent musicians but terrible singers to make excellent music, even masterpieces. I don't think autotune was a paradigm shift really, but it was pretty disruptive.

People are deeply creative, social, collaborative, musical, artistic, hierarchical and status conscious. These traits will always drive people to make music and share it, and derive meaning from it. People will still pay other people for the music they make.

Photography utterly disrupted the social role that painters held as documentors. No one needed to hire a good painter to have a portrait. They could hire a photographer more cheaply for more accurate documentation. Artists working in the medium of painting really had to grapple with the question of what art is, if academic faithful representation of reality is no longer valued by society. Painting thus began to change. Impressionism led to Suprematism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Conceptualism, Modernism, Post Modernism.

Artists today will have to grapple with similar questions raised by AI generated art. But humans are creative, indomitable, curious and tenacious. I am absolutely excited to see the art that future human artists will make in the face of all of this.

You seem pleasant
Because the act of publishing has a well-established meaning. The same reason I can't publish a book and shout at people who read it. "I wrote it for my eyes only, how dare you read it!" is a ridiculous thing to say.
The degree to which this is so pervasive and standard--so much so that Github renders your README by default--is kind of an artifact of the open source movement. Which also brought a lot of similar standardized files, as the need came up (LICENSE, COPYING, INSTALL, CONTRIBUTING, etc.).

During the sharing, hacking, free software period it was a lot less standard and I saw plenty of alternate casing for README and "non-standard" spellings like 00README, Readme_first, etc. When everyone started sharing their open source projects in a standard way (Github and its ilk, along with the rise of CTAN/CPAN-like registries for all kind software) the notion of the standard README got a lot more... standard.
There is an argument to be made then when a country is on the rise and developing rapidly there is a sense of PMA(Positive mental attitude) among the people. Maybe you are just projecting American stagnation on Chinese?
Dumb question: There exist randomized approximation algorithms for Weighted Hitting Set, yet it is NP-Hard. Assuming I haven't said anything dumb yet, this surely should satisfy it: Why does this not prove BPP != P?

Perhaps: Am I incorrect in assuming that randomized 2-approximation is somehow transformable to 'correctness in the decision problem 2/3 of the time'?
"nor a single point of capture for wannabe tyrants"

This is a very good point. Americans rarely realize that single points of capture are magnets for wannabe tyrants. If you can't be a full dictator of the entire country for life, you may settle for being a full dictator of some massive institution that meddles in everyone's life.

To be clear, I don't think that Americans are stupid for not realizing this. They just don't have enough experience with tyranny.
I like listening to Soundtracks, but if you've not played the game/watched the movie, it can be hard to get into it (Listening to NieR: Automata is a journey). Listening to one track is like reading one chapter of a book. It may be your favorite one, but there's something more substantial into consuming the whole work. I know people listen to music to set up moods, but everyone has that playlist/album where they listen to the whole thing just for the sake of listening. Or watch a painting for contemplation, not to judge whether it's beautiful or perfectly made. And that is why I can't enjoy AI generations. There is nothing to connect too.

P.S. I don't mind people using AI as tools, but the human agency needs to be visible and relatable. If it's only a prompt, don't ask why I don't value it.
> This misunderstanding isn't your fault because most people visiting that site misunderstand it.

And the reason few people understand it is because it's not logical. If you want documentation, read the documentation, and in most cases, that's what they did before asking the question. Anything more than cut and paste of the official documentation is discussion. "Well what is usually done to make this work in practice..." Nope. That's discussion, and to 99.9% of people asking for help, it's why such a site exists.

Do I have evidence? Sure, look at all the questions that have moved to Reddit, Discord, etc.
Using Amazon web traffic to track the eclipse
Not really surprising. A lot of companies made a lot of moves when interest rates were low, assuming that environment would last forever.

The low interest rate environment had a lot of people forgetting that Debt == Risk, or never learning it in the first place. Now they’re going to learn the hard way.
This depends on the size of your file. If you have dozens or hundreds of small sprite/UI images for an app or game, image metadata can add up quite a bit overall.

That's just weird. the US is definitely a lower cost country than Norway yet my youngest son works for a company here in Norway that does quite a lot of business making metal and plastic tags of various kinds with text engraved, printed, or laser cut.

As far as I know most of the machinery is made in Europe, mostly Germany, again generally higher cost than the US. So I find it difficult to believe that it can't be done in the US.
Agreed, for several reasons. Fun fact - any regex using the common idiom [a-z] will break on certain locales when certain characters like "y" are present.
Doesn't seem like it should be all that complex to me assuming the crawler is written in a common programming language. It's a pretty common coding pattern for functions that make HTTP requests to set a timeout for requests made by your HTTP client. I believe the stdlib HTTP library in the language I usually write in actually sets a default timeout if I forget to set one.

LLMs work at all because of the high correlation between the statistically most likely response and the most reasonable answer.
I believe you, and LLMs are no doubt useful, but "under the hood" it's still just predicting what the next token should be based on the provided context. I take it he's saying that no, there isn't really a ghost in the machine, its still just linear algebra/calculus and is no reflection of actual organic reasoning.

I think the difference of opinion here is between science and technology. Too many people in my opinion take the latter to be a synonym for the former.

Depends on the major international airport, but DFW and BOS (Dallas-Fort Worth and Boston) are both fine. My wife flies to DFW from a small airport and back frequently, to see her parents. It's really not much different in terms of time to check in and clear security if you have Precheck (though at airports with multiple security screening areas, do notice which ones offer Precheck at what hours so you don't have to do the slow screen), though the small airport will sometimes let things slide that big airports won't [0], especially if the TSA agents recognize you personally. Her parents even live a shorter drive away from DFW than we do from our small airport.

[0] American Airlines at my small airport, for two early-morning flights to different destinations, had all checked baggage going through one agent whose intervention was required for every. single. bag. even if checked in with a kiosk. Of course there was no way we could get the bags on, so we were going to miss the flight. But we went through TSA (both Global Entry/Precheck) with obviously too-big bags and liquids, and they said "no way that's a carry-on", and we said we were going to have the gate agent check it for us, and they said good luck.

We made the flight.
That explains a lot actually
Notably, this was all obvious and predicted by various serious experts, yet the stories that made it into the media were more on the "the grid will melt and we will all die slow, cold deaths because rich Tesla owners want to pretend to save the planet" side of things.

Yet again showing that it's not climate change that is a threat to human civilization, but the large number of people who responds to such challenges by asking "how can I make money from this problem by lying about it?"
As someone who lives in Brooklyn and moved into a place where I was responsible for trash a couple weeks ago, it took ~1 week for someone to swipe my rolling trash bin, graffiti it, burn a couple holes and leave it a few blocks away.

So you're saying that morally the difference between cannibal and anyone else in society is simply a menu preference?
It might not be "abrupt" (was taking poetic license with "five minutes ago") but there would probably be tremendous pressure to accelerate the creation of production capacity in countries less adversarial to the United States and its allies.
This seems like a strange assumption to make...
>> If it's cheap enough, you can tolerate failures

But you just can't. When you are using lots of tiny things all connected through each other then you have less tolerance for faults, not more. One bad connector can mean that an entire run of shingles is dark. So even a 1% fault rate, if you have a few hundred connections in each run of shingles, means that basically nothing is connected. Or think of a long fence. One broken bit can mean the entire fence after that break is no longer connected. You're just setting yourself up for a long day of checking connectivity only to have the fence shift again.

What do you think the NSA is storing in that datacenter in Utah? Power point presentations? All that data is going to be trained into large models. Every phone call you ever had and every email you ever wrote. They are likely pumping enormous money into it as we speak, probably with the help of OpenAI, Microsoft and friends.
Great job, this is so cool!! Can't wait to see where this will be used in.

The Costs of Homeownership Are Skyrocketing
Not manually, it just requires you to be able to group them along a dimension of interest. For example, if I get a page from us-east-1a, I can compare all the logs from that against us-east-1b. Or, you can group all the logs from the hour after the incident started to the hour a day ago (or a week ago).

I pulled this technique from canary analysis and applied it to production outage analysis. In canary, you have a guaranteed random stable population that lets you perform accurate comparisons. Elsewhere, we can try to make that assumption but it might break down. For example, regional holidays can radically alter customer behavior over time or between regions. So it's not perfect but it's often good enough to provide me insights while on call.

And, it requires advanced log queries to perform all these filtering, grouping, counting and scoring functions.
Rough going so far, as Spinoza is both precise and uses words in the senses they had in Scholastic times.

I think I understand how Spinoza is not a pantheist, though: God determines Creation, in that the Creation is the maximal object that could be created from God, and the Creation determines God, in that God is the minimal object that could create the Creation, so they're two very distinct things, but in a 1:1 relationship.

(examples: intension/extension in logic, cones/gamut in vision, grammar/language in informatics)

I'm not sure how easy the distinction between his viewpoint and pantheism would have been to explain to someone with a XVII background, but Aquinas defo would've been unhappy with the "the deity can create any universe he wants, as long as it's black" part.

(hmm. if our universe only uses up two attributes, 'thought' for all the abstracts and 'extent' for all the concretes, are there any other universes lurking in the remaining infinity of attributes? this also opens the question of whether we're dealing with a countable infinity of attributes, or a higher cardinal...)

Some YouTuber talked about this and I think they were pretty on point: Of course for consumers this could all happen in some app on the phone.

But a 3rd party app will always be less integrated, have less permissions than functionality included by the manufacturer.

And for all this AI integration wide access is pretty much required as you'd want it to access your photos, notes, all kind of apps, etc.

This way manufacturers would have too much leverage over companies developing that kind of AI, as they could always develop better features than them with their own AI agent.

I think Apple Watch is a pretty good example of that already. Third party watches will never be as good as Apple Watch just because Apple won't let them.

Most of what you say was anticipated by the comment you replied to:

> > I do agree you need big panels to not have excessive labor from connections.

> You're just setting yourself up for a long day of checking connectivity only to have the fence shift again.

If only we had ways to make long runs of wiring relatively reliable.

My point is: there's second order effects: expensive panels need to have as high of a capacity factor as possible; high capacity factor constrains installations and increases other costs. If you cut 2/3rds of the cost of the panel away, other costs decrease, too, and more types of installation become reasonable.
The finger bending example is certainly a classic for something like this but I think it truly shines in soft robot examples like flapping wing robots or swimming finned robot, where it's critical for sensors to be mechanically transparent so as to not impact the usually delicate dynamics. The "soft" robotic arm in my earlier paper is another good example https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9763962
I've found the version issue to be significant on SO and in documentation in general when accessed via a search engine. Sometimes, it's "does this solution still work at all?". Other times, it's "is there a better or preferred way to solve this in later versions?"

For SO, seems a "version applicability" option could go a long way to solving this.
The 8x is misleading; there are 8 sets of weights (experts) per token and per layer. If it is similar to the previous MoE Mistral models, then two experts get activated per token per layer. This reduces the amount of compute and memory bandwidth you need to perform inference but doesn't reduce the amount of memory you need as you cannot load the experts into GPU memory on demand without performance impact.
Not really, if I am OK with death penalty for manslaughter, I put myself at risk (or someone I love) to be at the receiving end of that law: it happens to people without really wanting it.

On the other hand, becoming billionaire is both extremely hard, bordering impossible for most people, and it's also an active choice someone who's not already billionaire can make on their way there (so they can always be just enough away from being a billionaire).

The reality is combat sports have been popular for many 1000s of years. Before the romans and after. Certain forms of wresting were incredibly popular in the past. The amount of people that watched or listen to major historical boxing fights is crazy.

To hold up Roman as some sort of maxima doesnt really hold up. Its just that they were rich so they invested more in spectical, just as we do now.
I’d think this extends to all countries actually, and find it curious that only 92 are being notified.
Absolutely. Over the years countless projects have missed contributions from me because of a bad README.
Did you read the full article?

"Reducing the length of your IDs can be nice, but you need to be careful and ensure your system is protected against ID collissions. Fortunately, this is pretty easy to do in your database layer. In our MySQL database we use IDs mostly as primary key and the database protects us from collisions. In case an ID exists already, we just generate a new one and try again. If our collision rate would go up significantly, we could simply increase the length of all future IDs and we’d be fine."
Does anyone know of a good text normalization (?) library that converts symbols and initialisms into plain English before feeding them into a TTS model?

>I wonder what took Ukraine so long to go for it.

All of their weapons were coming from America and its allies, and the Americans were somewhat concerned about escalation. The Americans set limits, which the Ukrainians didn't want to violate for fear of fewer weapons in the future, but now that those weapon shipments have slowed, and victory seems almost impossible, they are disregarding the old American prohibitions.
