While I agree that getting good sleep is necessary, I think the book does tend to over exaggerate the negatives. Alexey Guzey's article on this[1] is excellent and I recommend everyone to give it a read.

I think it's actually very reassuring that he didn't accept the type of uncritical groupthink that is exemplified by the "trans rights" movement.

It's odd how so many so-called atheists ended up latching onto that cultish nonsense. Dawkins stands amongst the few who have cast a suitably critical eye over this "gender identity" belief system.
Thanks, James! We should record a video on code interpreter when you're around!
Really makes you think about whether there are some things that can still transcend partisan showmanship, like national security.

I still am a believer in digital freedom, I'm old enough to have seen the changes in the Internet, and it is a much more malevolent and fucked up force than it was even 15 years ago. Maybe, just maybe, the government needs the power to spy on international targets with oversight.
You're meant to hate it. It's dumb. I'm actively making the world a worse place by the invention of it.

I witness it or some other traffic incursion (like entering/exiting the limited-access HOV where access should be prohibited) nearly every day. No hyperbole. Had a few white-knuckle near-misses. Life goes on.

IIRC Chrome's PDF viewer is built upon NaCl which is basically a precursor to WASM. So it has lots of the same benefits and is basically running inside the web sandbox already. Until Firefox shipped PDF.js it was likely the most secure widely used PDF viewer due to this layered architecture.

Of course NaCl is no longer available to web clients, so I don't know what the exact state of the Chromium PDF viewer is. Is NaCl maintained just for it or is it using some other sandbox now?
My point is that the pool very often is just a private company. All three public pools around me here in central Europe are privately held companies.
I agree with you, it seems like it's the most valuable first step. Just eliminating the daily rear-end collisions during commute would be a huge step forward.
While young and in as good shape as I ever have been I once worked a low-wage manufacturing job in a factory. After a long shift I once sliced through my fingernail[1] because I fell asleep while operating an industrial bench saw. At the time (before this incident) I would certainly have said that I had plenty of endurance to work long hours in the job and I definitely needed the money.

Worker protections exist partly to prevent low-wage earners from having their economic desperation exploited by the unscrupulous to their detriment.

[1] It's only through a pure miracle that I didn't lose a finger. The specific miracle being I was so tired setting up the saw that this one time I set the depth of cut wrong meaning that instead of chopping my fingers completely off as would have happened had I set the saw up correctly, it just sliced through the very top of my fingernail.

No, I am saying that. Popper may have said it too, I don't know. I'm citing Popper to support my claim that science doesn't involve induction.

> The difference between SAE Level 3 versus Level 2 is liability, not functionality. Conceptually, it would be relatively simple to create a Level 3 system that only worked in parking lots and never drove over 5 MPH. And yes, such a system would be "Level 3," which naively sounds better than "Level 2" because the number is higher.

No one’s going to take liability if their technology is not ready for the conditions they want to work in. And no one’s creating systems that only work in 5 mph parking lots just to claim the L3 title. So comparison to hypothetical systems aren’t useful.

It seem like it barely stopped (paused?) growing. Which is reasonable given more widespread awareness that what's being built is of lower and lower quality. Which is also natural given that supply is provided to satisfy investors not honest residential demand.
Financial market applications of LLMs
honestly the main issue is just that the value provided by a gui for a package manager i can already make use of isn't worth $49 to me (and many others i'd wager), and it certainly isn't worth paying multiple times for. i'm sure the features you have planned are cool but it's still just a front end for homebrew whichever way you look at it.

i don't mean to diminish your work at all - it really does look great and i mean that, and hopefully you'll prove me wrong, but i don't think you've properly considered what value this actually provides to the people you want to buy it.

you might say that $49 + an annual subscription (and it is a subscription by the way, you can call it what you like but that's objectively what it is) is what you need to charge in order to make the time/effort you spent on development worth it for you, which is fair, but consider it from the POV of a potential customer: it's $49 + an annual subscription for a prettier way to achieve something that they probably use quite rarely, something they can already do, and something which there are already free alternatives to.

consider something like bettermouse (https://better-mouse.com). macOS is borderline unusable without it, i'd sell my computer and switch to linux that same week if bettermouse disappeared. i make use of it for 100% of the time i use my computer, and it costs $7.99 one time, forever. the developer could double or even triple the price, and it still wouldn't even be half of what you're asking for.
Simplistic oppressor vs opressed narratives are simplistic. Yes, the palestinians have been oppressed for almost a century at this point. No, I dont blame them for fighting back. I dont blame the Israelis for defending their home either though. The reality is that both sides have committed grave atrocities here and any narrative that tries to place the blame squarely on one side is glossing over a huge amount of historical context.

The Israelis have every reason to continue to be worried about palestinian terrorism. A one state solution would involve them losing control of the government. Maybe the palestinians that would make up the majority would be nice to the Israelis, but I really really doubt that based on the way theyve treated the israelis over the past century. They certainly would attempt to institute sharia law which is probably enough of a reason for Israelis to reject a one state solution.
I'm not especially up on communism but did any of those systems let workers hold protests without repercussions in real life, as opposed to in theory?

Is it legal to sell a device with radio in the US without FCC certification?

In the EU it's illegal to sell without external certification if the product is a medical device, is made for children or contains a radio.

Certification will typically cost you $5,000-$15,000 depending on which lab you use.
About five-six - I got into my mother's old Pascal books, messed around with TurboPascal on her old DOS machine, and then found and installed DevPascal on the family computer.

She was an IT teacher, so she kept on getting new textbooks for her classes, and I kept on reading through them - I learned and forgot batch programming, poked instructions in debug.com without really understanding them, thumbed my nose at Java, painstakingly wrote out PHP code on paper, and kept on playing with Pascal until I found Python, maybe by twelve-thirteen?

I wasn't a great coder: I was completely self-taught, in a really haphazard way, but it gave me some decent foundations - I probably butted heads with every possible error, which can come in handy surprisingly often.

Sure, but progressive land tax to discourage large ownership.
Having been in both positions, my experience is that a whole lot of the idea that cloud is "cheaper" comes from people without awareness on how much of a commodity the skill set to set up and manage non-cloud setups is. You can reduce this all to predictable monthly bills scalable up and down by small fractions of headcount with ease most places.

At the very small scale when trying to start something, do what you're comfortable with, because whatever you're not is likely to cost you time.

Above that, it's down to what your margins are like, and how large a part the hosting is, but it's rare for cloud to be the cheaper option. Certainly not at list prices - while you're small enough to pay list prices you're being screwed over massively.
Exactly. As a mental exercise, people should consider how broad or narrow the functional domain needs to be for Level 3 (liability assumed by manufacturer) to be truly of note versus Level 2 (liability remains with owner).

Would a Level 3 system that only navigates parking lots at up to 5 MPH be notable versus a Level 2 system that drove everywhere? For me, a very narrow Level 3 system like Mercedes' is absolutely less interesting versus a very broad Level 2 system like Tesla's. The technical capability of Tesla's system is substantial. How important is taking liability, really, to the bigger picture of increasing the technical capability of autonomy? A narrow Level 3 system is not an entirely empty milestone, of course, but compared to the actual work of increasing driving capability, assuming liability seems like a game played primarily by deploying lawyers, not programmers.
Not the perfect example. OT, but dentistry is unlike other fields of medicine, a huge amount of the practice is outright scam. See past thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37022911
This. A single dedicated bare metal server sacrifices too much availability, in return for capacity that you probably don't need yet. Better to use a fraction of a few different servers.

> You think its a problem only in the US? Its a problem everywhere.

Your parent comment:

> How or why are any lobbyists allowed to be part of the legislative process? It's understandable in the US with the total citizens united capture of campaign finance etc, but it's not normal or understandable in the context of more democratic countries.

seems to say the opposite: the legislative foundation is clear in the US, but it's less clear how the same problem, which the comment acknowledges exists, develops elsewhere.

(I'd submit that this point of view just comes from being more familiar with US law than with other countries' laws, which I'm sure have their own peculiar histories of regulating lobbying, but it definitely doesn't deny the relevance of lobbying in non-US governance.)
The strange beginning of “The Checklist Manifesto”
According to Wikipedia, the CDC 6400 had some OoO execution in 1964, and the IBM 360 model 91 had register renaming and full OoO in 1966, and IBM POWER1 had OoO in 1990.

It's impossible. Meta itself cannot reproduce the model. Because training is randomized and that info is lost. First samples a coming at random. Second there are often drop-out layers, they generate random pattern which exists only on GPU during training for the duration of a single sample. Nobody saves them, it would take much more than training data. If someone tries to re-train the patterns will be different, which results in different weight and divergence from the beginning. Model will converge to something completely different. With close behavior if training was stable. LLMs are stable.

So, no way to reproduce the model. This requirement for 'open source' is absurd. It cannot be reliably done even for small models due to GPU internal randomness. Only the smallest trained on CPU in single thread. Only academia will be interested.

They are misleading the public in thinking that Mercedes is a leader in autonomous driving, but they are not. They are, including all other legacy car companies, so far behind Tesla, that they should be ashamed.
>Tesla isn't in the same category: their main value is in their stock price,

Whole box is a beast. 3TB ram, 122TB nvme... plus the 8x MI300x (192gb/each). 2x 400G cx7 NICs.

Here are the CPU specs: https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-epyc-9754

We went with higher cores vs. higher clocks/cache due to wanting multi-tenancy on this box. MI300x is so new that we wanted to be able to give people 1-2 gpus at a time (via VM/pcie pass through), so we figured more cores are better for now.

In the future, we will buy a mix of different CPUs (including Intel as well).

Yes, of course I know the costs. It ain't cheap. ;-)
Agreed, as I’m familiar as a buyer and with friends who work at MBUSA in dealer inventory.

Interesting point. One difference:

It is easy to tell if a tennis instructor is giving “good” instruction, where good means instructions that help you be a better tennis player. You just look at their students. If you want to know if they give good fundamentals for long term growth, you look at their much older students.

How do you know if a meditation teacher is giving good instructions? Seems much harder to me.

It is interesting that many of the traditional religions have hard to quantify benefits. Buddhism offers a personal inward help, and the abrahamic religions often benefit communities.
The progression can start at zero. Even if you own up to 3 residential properties it still could be zero.

I'd donate for that. I won't donate to see it wasted.
Unless you're huge, you'll find most providers will limit their liability to the cost of the service, which is usually a rounding error of your risk.

If you think you're covered in any meaningful way with a standard contract, you most likely didn't read their terms.

If liability is a concern, you need insurance.

It's baffling to many people how FISA is even a thing. To a layperson, the Fourth Amendment leaves no room for a rubber stamp court authorizing mass surveillance. And no one except politicians and bureaucrats are buying the argument that this is somehow targeted surveillance.

Also, free nations should have higher standards than "Not a citizen? Too bad, anything goes."
The limitations of the Mercedes system are only a little higher than the hypothetical parking lot Level 3 system. The point is to emphasize that a narrow Level 3 system is not very interesting compared to a broad Level 2 system. Technical capability > appeasing lawyers.
Fair and solid focus on government domain issues. It's us the people that will fix govt, instead of govt fixing companies.

I'd like to see graphs connecting politicians, lobbyists, geos and tainted policy proposals and a sufficiently large political/social group bringing awareness to such graphs, getting experts talking about them, etc.

IMO the goal is not one treaty, it is to make the cost of selling out sufficiently high that every treaty round improves every future round instead of so low that every round adds to the percentage of participants who are sell outs still participating in the political system.
I'm not talking about what is, I am talking about everyone's resignation to it. At the very least I would expect people to blame the businesses and companies equally. But what I observe is not just tacit acceptance of company behavior but in some places stating it as if that is how it should be.

Ok. Your comment brought nothing very interesting in my humble opinion. What's your opinion on the move? What particularly makes sense to move Trueness to Linux?

Is it? Or should a roadworthy car be considered table stakes for actually being on the road, and one which is not is instead worth a police report?
Yes, it answers these questions for all of those things except quantum fields. Why those fields exist we do not yet know, and may never know. But reducing the question to a single thing with an unknown origin rather than many things with (allegedly) unknown origins is still progress, particularly since that last remaining "thing" is not actually a thing that exists. And if you want to go down that rabbit hole, you should read this first:

> The difference between SAE Level 3 versus Level 2 is liability, not functionality.

No it's not. The difference is functionality, proof that the vendor believes they've achieved that difference is most clearly communicated via liability.

Producing systems that perform reliably under the prescribed conditions is called "good engineering."
You could pan through an epic Doom game video capture? If you like deterministic games.
An organic "feature" like flight or gills, or the ability to blink requires both hardware and software (to both create the hardware, and to run the new hardware.)

This, we're discovering, takes quite a lot of information. Organised, specific information in the correct order to harness maths, physics and chemistry to create a working feature.

To get such a feature off the ground by random point mutations using evolution by natural selection, each and every mutation needs to provide selective advantage, or it is discarded. Any progress to such a feature must start again from scratch.

There is a theory about how this can happen, it's well understood, but now we know much much more about how Biology actually works at the lower levels. So regarding the theory, people know that something needs to give, and it's not going to be maths, physics or chemistry, lets put it that way.
Certbot just works? It has a ton of bugs.
"Taxi service in a congested urban area" is probably the market where it makes the most sense. Trips are pretty short, cars stay in the a local area where they have hyper-accurate mapping data, and are likely to quickly find another passenger or can return to a nearby parking/waiting area.

Waymo won't keep a monopoly on this forever. There are still high barriers to entry, but they will fall sooner or later. If there is money to be made, competition will come.
Same. I love RDS. It's amazingly convenient and I use it when I can justify it. It's also really expensive and I can - and have - easily build postgres setups w/replication across multiple data centers in several countries and still come out cheaper (including time spent) than anything remotely similar capacity in RDS. It's not hard, but it's more work than me, and so I'm happy to let AWS do it when I work somewhere where we can afford it.

Cloud has a role many places, but not in setups that are cost sensitive at scale.

Uhh but a narrow Level 3 system will also in general do broad Level 2. You think these Mercedes can't do adaptive cruise control at 60mph wherever you want to activate it?

I would take a car with reliable, narrow L3 and reliable broad L2 (especially when the L3 is reliable in the most frustrating driving conditions to encounter) over broad pseudo-L3 any day.

Waymos are incredible, but Teslas are a much worse tradeoff than what MB is proposing here in my opinion.
