my thought is that music is a hobby and people mislead themselves into themselves into thinking that it’s their hobby or that everyone has music has a hobby. I think music is just a phase for most people, as have been most things I’ve personally tried but wasn’t really into

but I’m in my 30s, am still into finding my music, and I can’t see that ever going away.

and I know people love listening to music from their formative years and don’t get me wrong, I too was obsessed into 2010’s indie rock and pop punk too, but I think it’s just people reliving the phase.

personally I will only pretty much listen to 2020’s indie rock and pop punk from new bands if I do. you will rarely catch me listening to music that I used to listen to. it was good then. now it’s tired and boring.
Contractors are appealing because they don't have the same legal liabilities or expectations as an employee. You don't have to worry about PTO, 401k, healthcare, sick days, overworking, family leave, mandatory breaks, respecting any unionization attempts, etc. You don't have to worry about withholding their wages for things like taxes, social security, etc.

I didn't claim there's no positive ROI. I only noted that the breathlessly promised "trillion+ dollar self-driving market" failed to materialize.

I suspect the AI market will have a similar trajectory in the next decade: no actual AGI - maybe one company still plugging away at it, a couple of very successful companies whose core competencies don't include AI, but with billions in market cap, and a lot of failed startups littering the way there.

I think it kind of goes both ways?

Maybe the word "uncultured" isn't right, but I feel like when I say "I don't really listen to much that was written in the last fifteen years", people kind of act like I'm some kind of luddite. I also think a lot of people feel like the smartest people go way back and listen to the classical stuff. Personally, I've never really been able to get into classical music outside of movie soundtracks, and for awhile I was kind of embarrassed by that fact, but I'm not really anymore. As I said, music is about entertainment, and you like what you like.

Kind of related, when I was a teenager, I liked to read a lot, but I didn't have any money. I discovered Project Gutenberg and started reading a lot of public domain stuff (a lot of Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Dickens, etc), purely out of cheapness. Teachers would think I'm smarter than I actually was because I knew obscure literary references from old books in my essays and when I would answer questions in class, despite the fact that it doesn't really require a 10,000 IQ to download a PDF file from the internet and read it.
I am 100% onboard with the phone bans. There's nothing worse than hundreds of phone screens glowing in your face while you're trying to enjoy a live act. I can't imagine how weird it must feel for the performer(s) too. To go from people looking at you, making eye contact, engaging with the performance, to suddenly seeing a sea of phones pointed at you, with everyone watching you indirectly via their phone screen.
Wish all articles like this would start including wet bulb temperature, so reader wouldn't have to keep finding temp and humidity and find it on a chart.

A wet-bulb temperature of 95°F (35°C) is the theoretical limit for human survivability for up to six hours of exposure. This is equivalent to a heat index of 160°F (71°C). However, more recent research indicates that a wet-bulb temperature of 88°F can be hazardous even for young

This seems to be a recurring theme. People aren’t aware of what their devices already are capable of.

Part of that is because it’s sold as accessibility or out of the way enough that people don’t encounter them regularly.

But even then, a lot of the stuff is right there in the photos app (what plant/bug/animal is this) or sign reading and OCR

I think we have enough real world case studies now with previously stubborn fatties whom (allegedly) tried everything but finally lost weight on ozempic due to appetite suppression.

6 hours of running is 4000-8000 calories / 1-2lb week depending on body size. That's your basic 1-2% of BW deficit for weight loss. Except it's a much harder behaviour change to adopt.

Never been a fan of code-gen solutions that generates both DTOs and client proxies which IMO promotes a lot of fragile code-gen that's less resilient to changes. The solution we've adopted in ServiceStack to solve this with minimal code generation and better reusability is to only generate the message-based Typed DTOs for each language but have them able to be used by the same generic JSON ServiceClient.

This approach takes minimal effort since we only need to generate Typed DTOs in each language, which all works the same way, where you use the same generic `JsonServiceClient` (created once per language/platform) that use same methods to make API requests making it easy to for our built-in API Explorer [1] (Live Demo [2]) to auto generate API pages for all 11 supported languages which also supports dynamic languages like JS/TS, Python and PHP with additional type hints [3].

This is circular. It's fine to just say "I don't know" or "I don't have a good answer", but pretending otherwise is deceptive.

By truly open, we mean our releases use an OSI-recognized license (Apache-2) and we go beyond just model weights. Here are the things that we are open-sourcing:

i) Open-Sourced Model Weights

ii) Open-Sourced Fine-Tuning Pipeline. This is essentially the training code if you want to adapt this model to your use cases. This along with an associated cookbook will be released soon, so keep an eye on our repo for updates: https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/snowflake-arctic/

iii) Open-Sourced Data Information: We trained on publicly available datasets, and we will share information on what these datasets are, how we processed and filtered them, composition of our datasets etc. They will be published as part of the cookbook series here: https://www.snowflake.com/en/data-cloud/arctic/cookbook/, shortly.

iv) Open-Sourced Research: We will share all of our findings from our architecture studies, performance analysis etc. Again these will be published as part of the cookbook series. You can already see a few blogs covering MoE Architecture and Training Systems here: https://medium.com/snowflake/snowflake-arctic-cookbook-serie..., https://medium.com/snowflake/snowflake-arctic-cookbook-serie...

v) Pre-Training System information: We actually used the already open-sourced libraries DeepSpeed and Megatron-DeepSpeed for training optimizations and the model implementation for training the model. We have already upstreamed several improvements and fixes to these libraries and will continue to do so. Our cookbooks provide the necessary information on the architecture and system configurations.

From the perspective of this parent - toddlers are loud. They make so much noise, continuously, either by playing or talking or, more often, both at the same time, that when I get a moment of silence I don't want to ruin it by playing music. I just want to hear nothing for a while, or chat with my partner in peace.

Only in the last few months, with the youngest being almost 5, do I feel the urge to listen to the music again - and I have a 10 year gap to catch up with.

I appreciate Marc fundamentally and have groaned more often than I'd like the past few years. Seems part and parcel with the online/Twitter merging with the real/hoi polloi over the past couple years. Ex. Gary Tan.

There's a certain kind of absolutist banner-waving people use to communicate with ingroups that is obviously foul to someone hearing it out of context.

That last manifesto he wrote was funny to me and an excellent example.

As someone who had been in LLMs/AI art since 2020, it came across as Marc wanted to signal their appreciation for the biggest in-group during the start of the first Eternal Summer of AI. (e/acc)

The way it went overboard repeating hardcore edgy ideas, untempered by any reality because they came from 200 follower anons, suffered heavily from that in-group absolutist communication leading to out-group confusion.

And it is all too much peering into eachother's minds for my taste. At the end of the day, guy wrote blog post because he was excited.
Co-ops are of course worse for investors. There are no voting stock in co-ops, so the stockholders can't squeeze maximum profits off workers and consumers.

Europe had very strong socialist/non-capitalist political movements in the 19th century. Co-ops were seen as one alternative to capitalism, and were a huge movement.

For example in Finland the largest bank and largest retail chain are (consumer) co-ops, and in general co-ops are big players in the economy.

I was confused by this too.

In the article they do clarify it is "vehicular homicide" which is the same thing as "vehicular manslaughter" legally.

A very serious crime, though often times people walk away with this with little or no jail time.

"That's the primary thing a contractor does: get breached. They also cost the same as an employee, but are usually less talented"

Is this exclusive to government work?

In my industry the employees are the people who are less talented and basically have to stick around at the same job until retirement. They 'dont think they can learn a new job'.

These are engineers too. Mind boggling.
Hi everyone,

I started programming a couples years ago to help automate the boring parts of my corporate finance job. Along the way I have learned a lot and decided I wanted to develop something useful to others. I have always been interested in the stock market and thought building a tool to help others learn about modeling and valuation would be a fun project. From there equityval was born.

I built equityval in nextJS with supabase. This was my first time building anything with a frontend UI as most things I did where automation scripts. I really enjoyed the process of building this out and hope it can be useful to some people. Thank you for your feedback and comments!
Doesn't it seem weird that Autopilot and FSD might be using different obstacle recognition systems? The inputs (sensors) are identical, so why would Autopilot's obstacle recognition be worse?
IDM-VTON: Improving Diffusion Models for Virtual Try-On
I read that article and I wish I hadn't. It was an intended take down article but didn't really do provide any take down and missed the mark on describing the scene properly. It also offered some kind of palace intrigue but really we received a lot of background and long poor build up for an article circling around one paraphrased comment and then some grand conclusions drawn from that that one moment that author can't even remember clearly.

Also - using soylent, oculus and crypto to paint Andreesen as a bad investor (0 for 3 as he says) is a weird take. Come on - do better if your going to try and take my time.

FWIW I am impartial to VC and A16z but if your going to take a shot, you can do much better than that.
I think you might doing some disservice by not pointing out such things. Outsider's perspective can be very valuable to improve processes.

Even if there are good reasons why things are how they are, you'll find out much faster why. Contrary to when interacting with people where advice is often simply not wanted, you are pretty much paid to treat an organization's problem as your own. Sometimes problems persist because people simply have stopped caring about them.

I think the most common reason might be toxic or ineffective management, fighting their own problems, real or imagined. Newcomers should read the room whether that's the case as fast as possible since in that case offering "solutions" could indeed be counterproductive or outright dangerous to one's career.
Good point. Replacing with pejorative would likely have been better wording potentially to get my point across but simply having held a role in the past as a person does not automatically associate you with all the sins of anyone ever in that role, so I see it as a personal attack unrelated to the point of the article.
That’s what I’m saying.

I.e. that “programmers accidentally wrote a language that could treat real world abstract art as valid input” - and to me it’s more interesting than what grand-grandparent is describing.
I know they've said they would plan to store American's data on US-based servers, but wouldn't promise to stop sending data back to China or keep ByteDance from accessing it. I'm not sure that the US government having exclusive access to this data enough to make them go this far.
> you appear not to understand why physicalism might not be the non-negotiable ur-assumption for someone else that it is for you

Oh, I understand that just fine. I just don't agree with non-physicalists.

I could equally well say that non-physicalists who claim that Dennett denied the reality of consciousness do not understand why their implicit assumption that consciousness must be something non-physical is not the non-negotiable ur-assumption for Dennett (and me) that it is for them. They simply fail to understand that physicalists like Dennett and me are not saying that consciousness doesn't exist. We're just saying that it's a physical process. Real consciousness--real feelings of pain, suffering, joy, and everything else that phenomenalists wax poetic about--is a physical process. It is no answer at all to say that, gee, I can't imagine how that could possibly be true, so I'm going to assume you actually mean that all those things don't exist. But that's basically what Dennett's critics have said for decades. You talk about empathy: I think that line of criticism shows an astounding lack of empathy.

> People assume that things which they take to be physical objects (such as cars) will obey physical laws.

No, they don't. Most people have no idea what the actual applicable physical laws are. People assume that things they are familiar with will show the regularities they are familiar with them having. Those regularities, to a physicalist, are all grounded ultimately in underlying physical laws, but the connection is very complex, even for objects much simpler than cars. Scientists still don't completely understand how molecules work in terms of the underlying laws of physics of atoms and elementary particles. That doesn't stop them from being able to build accurate models of molecules using higher-level regularities. The physicalist program for consciousness is simply applying to it the same methods we already apply successfully to all sorts of complex systems.

Eh, the knowledge of how to construct a nuclear weapon has long been widely and publicly available. And it's not useful, not without weapons-grade fissile material. And if you could make weapons-grade fissile material you could figure out how to make a weapon if it wasn't already well-known.

> You are incorrectly inferring that I think this is therefore bad which I did not say

Did you not say in your opener:

> It is bad for a state

I should have appended the other statement with /s

That is to say, people don't typically move to California because they love the legal system, it's typically for other reasons like our weather, economy (jobs), diversity, schools (difficult to find hard data, but just search for it and see what things you see listed). Even in the case where someone does base their moving decision on a state's stance on entrepreneurial mobility, California being many years ahead of this FTC decision would only make it a better candidate, not worse.

Others passing the same measures years later does not make California seem "bad" in comparison. It would signal that they're just ahead of the curve on the issue, so I think your take is flawed.

> GPT hallucinates and gives a wrong fact. No biggie, but annoying.

Sometimes also a biggie: https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkadgm/man-dies-by-suicide-a...
Let's take a look at how the big boys handle something similar...

SELECT * FROM logs WHERE KEY = 'blah' LIMIT 10;

/* SQL Error (1064): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'KEY = 'blah' LIMIT 10' at line 1 */

I think there is some expectation of technical literacy for the use of a database. This would include being able to familiarize yourself with naming conventions and keywords.

I have personally never seen a database that gives detailed error messages like was requested and I'd be excited to see an example.
FSD is also much scarier to use because it does ridiculously dangerous stuff all the time. (for me in Vegas, having had it since the original beta)

I've stopped using it unless I'm the only person on the road.

Hollywood has incredible financial and political power. And even if fully AI generated movies reach the same quality (both visually and story wise) as current ones, there’s a lot of value in the shared experience of watching the same movies as other people, that a complete collapse of the industry seems highly unlikely to me.

Andreesen lucked into being the first person to successfully create the world's most inevitable and obvious product. He did nothing but take a swing at the right time and get traction thanks to the taxpayer funded educational establishment he was in.

Following that luck he mismanaged the business to the point of total failure, slowing the development of the independent web and handing the reigns to Microsoft. An error we're only now truly emerging from thanks to the rise of mobile and the unmasking of Google for what it is.

In the interim he took the money he lucked into to write manifestos praising fascists as thought leaders and elevated people like Zuckerberg whose products have fueled genocide, the spreading of lies and insurrection.

Andreesen is a parasite who thinks the animal he's feeding from is dependent on him.

> I didn’t fancy downloading some random executable from the internet

Flask and Sinatra contain code. They may not be "executables" by default but you will probably not read the source and they could obfuscate sending your local data to some malicious server or something. Also lots of python dependencies run code at install time (mostly to complie native dependencies but it is running python code that could be doing anything) so even before you run the test server for the first time just installing the dependencies may run code.

Open source is built on a web of trust. You could argue there's too much of it but I don't see a reason to declare rye one step too far.
