It's the ease of use for medium customers. Large customers have Linux servers with full-time staff to write custom code and do whatever they want because they have their own resources; Facebook doesn't use Azure. Small customers buy a Macbook or Chromebook or tablet and have a gmail address and host their website on WordPress or one of those awful (but easy to use) web host proprietary site builders.

Medium businesses are big enough to want to have their own email domain but not big enough to want to implement their own spam filter, so they turn to the likes of Amazon and Google and Microsoft. Then Microsoft's advantage is they can manage and integrate with your Windows devices. Otherwise they're just doing price competition with every other hosting company. People who aren't even using Active Directory start to wonder why they should pay extra for SQL Server instead of using Mariadb on Linux, and in turn why they shouldn't put that VM on AWS unless Microsoft cuts them a better deal. (Which is presumably what happened with Apple, but offering long-term discounts is not how you make a lot of money.)
Yeah, I've done something like the theme of Excavated Shellac with old CDs a couple times. I will buy a bundle of 100 random CDs on eBay and go through and rip anything that seems remotely interesting. Occasionally I've found stuff from obscure artists that I end up liking, and even stuff that never made it to Spotify.

It's time consuming and I probably won't do it again but it was fun to do a few times.

Not necessarily wrong. You’re probably doing the same work at runtime. That might be either just as good (a subjective preference) or more correct (for certain kinds of dynamism) depending on context. In some cases, there are clear static invariants that could be guaranteed at compile time, and some folks will be more inclined to squeeze as much out of that as possible. In my experience, the benefits of that vary wildly from “total waste of time” to “solves a recurring and expensive problem for good”, with a lot in between.
That's typically not an optimal goal and will lead to less in the long run

I thought Tailwind handling pseudo classes and responsive breakpoints in the className was pretty slick, but I also agree with you that they can get very long.

Part of it is just organization/abstraction. Personally, when a component gets too ugly to look at it's time to abstract that away. I want all my top level components to be simple almost English looking syntax and attributes, or even no attributes, like this:

import { Header, Page, Footer } from 'library';

const App = () => <>
<Header />
<Page />
<Footer />
<>;

Ideally I'm looking at clean components like this in my daily work, with those long classNames hidden away in a component library: https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/blob/master/r...

I think even with regular CSS, styled components, etc. you're still going to have that base layer where all the complexity is hidden.

To your point, it is purely subjective. ^ this example marketing site uses Tailwind but the product itself is native CSS: https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/r...

I think a directory structure like:

Header
index.js
styles.css

Footer
index.js
styles.css

Is also totally fine. The markup in the components is a lot cleaner and often just uses a single selector instead of long Tailwind-esque classNames. With Tailwind I will end up with many more but smaller components - because those classNames are establishing the design system as we go - where with modules (React components using unnamed CSS imports like `import './styles.css';) you can import just the CSS files you need like a base.css, theme.css etc. then your component is very clean - just uses normal selectors and CSS is fully separated out from markup.

Well I'm in my 50s, and I mostly stopped finding new music when record labels, streaming, and social media destroyed the prospects for people who would otherwise make that new music for me to find.

New stuff still arrives (you're not going to predict that me-at-15-loving-Megadeth will much later also love Billie Eilish or Gin Wigmore or Mirel Wagner or ...) but most "new music" is garbage by the standards set by about 50 years of music (much of that before I was alive and thus well before my "peak influence").

I suspect the "findings" of the article suffer from environmental effects that weren't considered/controlled.
Except all of their previous developer kits have been about the same cost as the consumer version.

Intel DTK - $999

Apple Silicon DTK - $500

iPhone - No DTK, just released without third party native apps at all.

That combined with how Apple regularly whiffs enterprise support and the fact that it sits right in the middle of their current display prices looks very much like they intended it to be a true consumer/industry release.
Do you have anything constructive to add? I am not going to apologize for not being a moral wet noodle.

It's probably 3 years, not 15, by the way.
There's no perfect analogy. It's far easier to usefully modify the weights of a model without the training data than it is to modify a binary executable without its source code.

I'd rather also have the data for sure! But in terms of what useful things I can do with it, weights are closer to source code than they are to a binary blob.
Very true. Sometimes I think they’d rather disappear than become less “Japanese”.

two people, you and some other guy who is also wrong and doesn't know the 7 principles of coops based on his comment (you still haven't argued about how those principles are capitalist, so pretty sure the onus is on you anyway). there are plenty of examples in the other comments on this post supporting my opinion. being a contrarian doesn't mean you're right.

and re: strawman, i just met you at your level after you used the logical fallacy: "Every unicorn I know thinks leprechauns are real." it was pretty clear at that point that you weren't going to have a reasonable conversation. i apologize for not pointing that fallacy out directly and instead i said, "well you have no idea what you're talking about". i could've been more graceful with that, or just ignored you.

anyway, thank you for sharing your (wrong) opinion about whether or not a coop is socialist.
"Stumbling upon an entirely new force of nature"

Exactly. Tesla shares responsibility for marketing something deceptively that can cause serious incidents. We require toy manufacturers to put clear labels that the toy is not appropriate for certain ages, but allow Tesla to market something as dangerous as Autopilot and FSD, implying that the user is not needed.

I have. It’s a mix of people saying it’s can only be done with CSS grid semantics and then a few who prove them wrong with flex box. Reinforcing my above question about “why not :after? :last-child? And flex it into shape?”

But I get it. Grids are easy to grok and grid.css is for the birds. Bake it in. Bloat the spec. And allow pixel perfect precision with one (or two) less div.
The vast majority of humans - even intelligent humans - do not "hallucinate like crazy."

Given a list of episode descriptions of Gilligan's Island, the vast majority of humans - even intelligent humans - would either be able to discern the correct answer or say they don't know.

I understand why there is this drive to present the normal human mental and psychological baseline as being just as unstable as LLMs, there is just too much money behind LLMs not to want to aggressively normalize its faults as much as possible (just as with the faults in autonomous driving), but any human being who hallucinated or confabulated with as much regularity as LLMs would be considered severely mentally ill.

First, they are tackling repairability & it seems fairly reasonable as most EU legislation seems to be [0]. Repairability is a tough topic not only because there's opposition for BS reasons. Think about a CPU - are you arguing that you need to be able to repair a broken pin on the socket? I hope not because you recognize the physical and economic challenges that entails & that making that repairable likely drives up the cost of the CPU in the first place (if someone wants to they should be able to try, but is the manufacturer on the hook for offering repairs if their non-standard repair attempt fails?). And think about how much more and more integrated the SoC has become with the main CPU package absorbing almost all peripheral chips - within that context "repairing" often effectively means buying a whole new super expensive component to begin with (& in my experience the 3p repairs often try to skimp on using substandard components & don't clearly communicate it). So basically the number of repairable parts in electronics is shrinking due to improvements in manufacturing.

As for DMA malicious compliance, it's still waaaay to early to say they're doing nothing. There's a lot of hubub about it clearly and it's on their radar. Meta & Microsoft have gotten into the game lobbying the EU to do something so there's countervailing pressure [1].

> According to a new report from the Financial Times, two of the biggest critics of Apple's new App Store rules are officially lobbying the EU to reject the iPhone maker's crafty new App Store terms.

> The EU could potentially fine Apple for non-compliance when the law goes into effect if it determines that these policy updates do not embody the spirit of the DMA. Or the DMA could reject Apple's App Store proposal entirely and force the company to come up with a new DMA-compliant policy.

But basically expecting a regulatory body to start enforcing something less than one month after compliance became mandatory (it took effect March 2024) of a fairly complex piece of legislation is asking a bit much of any regulatory body. It takes time to investigate this stuff in the first place so that they can get ready to bring a court case. They'll also negotiate with Apple before-hand to see if a resolution can be reached without a lawsuit in the first place.

But the EU already hit Apple with a massive 2B antitrust fine:

Summary of repair rules:

* Manufacturers must provide spare parts and tools at reasonable cost

* Manufacturers cannot use "contractual clauses, hardware or software" to obstruct repairs

* Independent repair firms must be allowed to use secondhand or 3D-printed parts

* Manufacturers cannot refuse to repair solely for economic reasons

* Manufacturers cannot refuse to repair a device because it was previously repaired by another company

Isn't that what you want to signify? It's the intent, and better than asserting that your IDs have a string-valued field that it doesn't.

Ideally you could brand with a private field, but we would probably need `typeof class` for that (assuming `typeof class` allows private members. I'm not sure).
If it's any consolation, I (some random guy on the internet) would look for naming conventions in the manual if I was given the error "invalid name".
There are two groups here.

One sees the high impact of the large model, and the growth of model training, and is concerned with how much that could increase in coming years.

The other group assumes the first group is complaining about right now, and thinks they're being ridiculous.

This whole thing reminds me of ten years ago when people were pointing out energy waste as a downside of bitcoin. "It's so little! Electricity prices will prevent it from ever becoming significant!" was the response that it was met with, just like people are saying in this thread.

In 2023, crypto mining accounted for about 0.5% of humanity's electricity consumption. If AI model training follows a similar curve, then it's reasonable to be concerned.
Software development is a bit of an exception because we have, probably by a whole order of magnitude, too few developers for the world.

However, what about all other things that are intellectual? Accountants, word processors, assistants, etc? We need fewer of those people than ever before.

As for the effect on art, the greater the unskilled people who can produce art the less it's worth. AI will eventually drive the value of art to zero. Even now 99.99999% of skilled musicians are unable to make a living doing it.

I cautiously, tentatively agree with you.

However, the cybertruck is not the correct aesthetic for achieving this and is, therefore, a huge missed opportunity.

An electric vehicle that looked like this:

... would be much closer to the mark and could, theoretically, achieve the outcome you're describing.
There’s something biological going here I would think. 30 is about the age where fluid intelligence peaks but crystallized intelligence continues to grow for a few more decades. Also, 30 is about the age where a lot of us come into our own as the person we will more or less be for the rest of our lives. I know for myself that in my teens and twenties, music was part of the process of defining myself. By my early thirties, I had grown out of that phase and mine or someone else’s taste in music was irrelevant to how we viewed each other. Interestingly, like many men, I have not touched a video game since the age of thirty even though I’ve had the time.
Ah yes, the good old "if it only wasn't for those evil profit gouging companies" excuse. It's literally a get out of jail free card for anything and everything related to the economy. It's such a political issue that the ideologues will just eat it up and spread it on and not ask a single question. Food prices too high? It's the evil profiteering companies. Car prices too high? It's the evil profiteering companies. Home prices too high? It's evil profiteering companies. Utility prices too high? It's the evil profiteering companies.

It's the vast conspiracy across millions of companies, across every city, state, and economic center in the country, that have all decided to go evil at the same point in time and just maliciously raise prices in an evil ploy to make more money. Surely it's that and not, you know, industrial and economic decisions that were made had consequences.
But it can and often does. They do not "share" the blame, but are both at fault (IMHO).
I used to agree, but the point I made in GP is that the touchscreen front and center could be a requirement, with what to do with one being open to local market interpretation.

IF that's the case, and that's one big if, debating touchscreen vs buttons might not be meaningful, because touchscreen MIGHT be a requirement that cannot be removed. With un-eliminable touchscreen, buttons becomes just added cost, rather than being a resilt of cost calculations between all-touch vs all-buttons.

Interesting architecture. For these "large" models, I'm interested in synthesis, fluidity, conceptual flexibility.

A sample prompt: "Tell me a love story about two otters, rendered in the FORTH language".

Or: "Here's a whitepaper, write me a simulator in python that lets me see the state of these variables, step by step".

Or: "Here's a tarball of a program. Write a module that does X, in a unified diff."

These are super hard tasks for any LLM I have access to, BTW. Good for testing current edges of capacity.

Arctic does not do great on these, unfortunately. It's not willing to make 'the leap' to be creative in FORTH where creativity = storytelling, and tries to redirect me to either getting a story about otters, or telling me things about FORTH.

Google made a big deal about emergent sophistication in models as they grew in parameter size with the original PaLM paper, and I wonder if these horizontally-scaled MOE of many small models are somehow architecturally limited. The model weights here, 480B, are sized close to the original PaLM model (540B if I recall).

Anyway, more and varied architectures are always welcome! I'd be interested to hear from the Snowflake folks if they think the architecture has additional capacity with more training, or if they think it could improve on recall tasks, but not 'sophistication' type tasks.
I simply don't understand the Venn diagram of people who read/write in such a manner and HN but here we are.

I was vaguely aware of Andreessen as the guy who invented the first web browser, a socially useful accomplishment by any measure and a story I had long kept in the back of my mind as an outstanding proof text that useful invention often flourishes best when government subsidizes it, socialism-style—given that Andreessen had created it while a student at a public institution, the University of Illinois. Then I boned up on what he was up to now, courtesy of a gargantuan 13,000-word profile from two years earlier in The New Yorker.

Thomas Neumann and Alfons Kemper papers can hardly be called "home-grown", their stuff has been implemented in multiple industrial systems.

>I think it's easy to sit and judge someone as being "uncultured" because they listen to music that was popular when they were a teenager

Pretty funny, especially since I just attended a sold-out performance of Mozart's Requiem last month. Back when I was younger, I think the dominant perception was that classical music was "cultured" and popular / current music was lacking in refinement
What large corporation doesn't have central planning? Do you think every factory just makes up their own schedule and makes what they want?
> So you're discovering new music, but none of it is memorable, because listening to music in 2024 (for a lot of people) is often a wall of slightly groovy background noise, with the occasional standout track that you probably toss into your own personal playlist.

Yea, I tried streaming for a while, and found exactly that. When I play some genre-specific stream with a goal of discovering new music, I find it's basically full of unremarkable, generic musak, punctuated by maybe 0.1% memorable, great tracks that I'm motivated to bookmark for later. Are these few needles worth slogging through hours of haystack? After a few years I have sadly concluded "no."

Not sure why this is. Has it always been this way (0.1% great stuff in a sea of mediocre?) or are "content creators" of today just more focused on churning out quantity than artists of the past?
Is this worse than humans?

(edit) I see that the article included that FSD is 5x safer than humans, which may be valid.

The article then said : "However, the only reason it is safer than the US average is that it is supervised by drivers who ideally pay extra attention when using FSD."

I am positive that they had zero data to back that assertion.
But those people usually have more system RAM than VRAM.

At those scales, most people become bandwidth and compute constrained using CPU inference instead of multiple GPUs. In those cases, an MOE with a low number of active parameters is the fastest.
What’s wrong with modernizing a 737 is exactly what happened. The design has already been modified to the limit. There is nowhere to go from here. Boeing spent the money to develop the MAX but they still have to develop a new plane to replace it. In the long term it will cost more than just building the plane they actually needed.

Why would clear have to pay the TSA? The TSA is supposed to provide a service, not rent seek. They have to screen fewer people which should lower costs. It's like Uber drivers paying the valet for drop offs since they don't have to go through valet
Branding works on primitive types as well, which is I think the most interesting use case.

I would also agree that it's harder to confuse complex types as any single instance of a type is unlikely to overlap once you have a few fields.
