I understand and sympathise, but Discord is one service I just stayed away from because I could see the enshittification coming a mile off. And I'm disappointed every time I see an open source project house its community on Discord. I hoped that people would learn from the painful experience with Reddit's enshittification but apparently not.
Anyone else getting the uneasy feeling we're pushing directly towards "I am Legend" territory where the cure will end up being worse than the disease?
Hacker culture would mean working around the limitation, not complaining that some consumer product doesn’t work exactly how you want it to work.

FWIW, there are videos on YouTube showing you how to silence the speaker. No idea if they work or not, but it's hacker culture at work.

If Julia hasn't taken off yet (which I am very sad about), I'm not sure why Mojo would. I'd rather have more resources invested into Julia.
Maybe not space junk, but space pollution.

It's great that we have a maniac at control launching rockets for science! But doesn't do justice for the pollution that's thrown up upon launching.
from a google search: "A 7 bone steak is a cut of beef from the chuck section of a cow's front shoulder, which is considered a tough area of the animal.". You're not going to find that in a regular grocery store because not many people will buy it. You will find every other cut of beef, pork, and poultry considered edible though.

You can go to a butcher but they're less common than a regular grocery store. Also, butchers usually have less selection since they're a smaller operation.

EDIT: i live in Dallas, Texas and "HEB" is just another brand of grocery store so "having to go to HEB" just means having to go to the grocery store.
Will this work with malicious tags as well? I.e. tags that are designed to not communicate with a given phone but with other devices nearby? Can that be detected? My understanding is that regular tags will communicate with all phones, but maybe there’s a way to differentiate who to respond to or change identity for every ping? Not familiar with the exact protocol but basically many different tags near a phone wouldn’t trigger the warning, so if a tag can produce multiple identifiers that the adversary controls it could still evade detection?
Cells are always being replaced, you replace almost every cell in your body each decade.
It’s not an either-or: the stuff feels magical because it both represents dramatic revelation of capability and because it is heavily optimized to make humans engage in magical thinking.

These things are amazing compared to old-school NLP: the step-change in capability is real.

But we should also keep our wits about us, they are well-Des robed by current or conjectural mathematics, they fail at things dolphins can do, it’s not some AI god and it’s not self-improving.

Let’s have balance on both the magic of the experience and getting past the tech demo stage: every magic trick has a pledge, but I think we’re still working on the prestige.
A lot of people have been investigating this and there isn't super hard conclusive evidence. That said, you are looking for zebras instead of horses.

For example, in Japan, gastric cancers are already much higher than in the US (like 5x more frequent), and there is evidence it is due to higher salt, smoked foods, H. pylori, genetics, and higher screening. If you are looking for the impact of a specific environmental pollutant, Japan v. US has a great example too: professionals hypothesize that because their cigarettes are equipped with a different kind of filter, Japanese OR of lung cancer due to smoking is like 15, compared to the US's 30-60.

There is likely a combination of trends, and maybe environmental pollutants play a little bit of a role. But you could definitely ban PFAS and microplastics - whatever that means - and still observe obesity rates rising, more sedentary lifestyles, more salt and processed food intake, etc., and maybe you'd get 280% increase in colorectal cancer instead of 325% for the next 20 years. Ultimately you could spend your money investigating PFAS and microplastics, or you could spend it investigating all the soap people put on their assholes, all the weird cosmetics they use on their mouth and face, the horrible shit they eat, or any number of things whose incidence rate is also a chart going up and to the right, but might interact with the colon quite literally more directly.

Am I missing something? The paper indicates that AES-NI is used for both compression and mixing.

If you look at the source code, it's using it in both parts too. Interestingly, there's a discrepancy between the paper and the code. The paper says the seed is passed to the first round of the 3-round finalizer/mixer, but the code has a separate 0th round that gets the seed instead.
The whole point is that the license specifically targets their competitors while allowing everyone else so that their model gets a bunch of free contributions from the open source community. They gave a set date so that they knew exactly who the license was going to affect indefinitely. They don't care about future companies because by the time the next generation releases, they can adjust the license again.

> the end user benefits are far more limited than predicted

How have you judged the end user benefits of the cloud? I don't agree personally - the cloud has enabled most modern tech startups and all of those have been super beneficial to me.
I think that Git solves an imporant problem that those embedded version strings didn't - Git commits are guaranteed to be either unique or dirty. Generating a summary of your repository state should be done early, and included exactly in the artifacts, as should build flags. Google's internal build system included a bunch of build server information, including build time and build host, but importantly it included these variables in every built package as a simple .env file. This env file would cause the build system to "falsely" report all of these things, so you had a reproducible build, even with uniquifying data embedded.
Yes you're right about the compute. Let me try to make my point differnetly: GPT-3 and GPT-4 were models which when they were released represented the best that OpenAI could do, while GPT-3.5 was an intentionally smaller (than they could train) model. I'm seeing it as GPT-3.5 = GPT-4-70b.
So to estimate when the next "best we can do" model might be released we should look at the difference between the release of GPT-3 and GPT-4, not GPT-4-70b and GPT-4. That's my understanding, dunno.
More and cheaper launches also paradoxically makes space junk less of a problem given it makes maintaining a LEO fleet plausible. That, in turn, naturally regulates space junk given objects in LEO naturally decay on human time scales.
Macros do not change the language that is executing (as in self-modifying code).

Self-modifying code is possible to express by other means in traditional Lisps that have a quote operator.

In Common Lisp, it is undefined behavior to modify a quoted part of the program.

E.g. this wold be undefined:

(defun counter () (inc (car '(1))))

The function is referring to a piece of its own syntax (1) which initially holds the integer 1 and incrementing that. This may have the expected effect under some circumstances. Or it could have the expected effect, plus some unexpected effect, or not have the expected effect at all. It may signal an error, also.
Astrology is a thing with no substance whatsoever. It's just random, made-up stories. There is no possibility that it will ever develop into something that has substance.

AI has a great deal of substance. It can draft documents. It can identify foods in a picture and give me a recipe that uses them. It can create songs, images and video.

AI, of course, has a lot of flaws. It does some thing poorly, it does other things with bias, and it's not suitable for a huge number of use cases. To imply that something that has a great deal of substance but flaws alongside is the same as something that has no substance whatsoever nor ever will is just not a reasonable thing to do.
A /48 means every possible MAC address can be assigned to have its own block of 65,536 /64 subnets. We haven't come close to exhausting the MAC address space and if we did we could do so 65,000 times and still not have actually needed more than 1 client per subnet. A /32 means an IPv4 worth (4 billion) of ISPs can have an IPv4 worth (4 billion) subnets assigned to customers.

I've actually seen similar arguments that IPv6 addresses should actually have been made shorter based on how ridiculously scalable the number of subnets is. Personally I think it's the right pick - a 64 bit int covers the routed portion and a 2nd 64 bit int covers the subnet portion all with no "extra" bits to fiddle.
> It makes the movie "Her" look like it's no longer in the realm of science fiction but in the realm of incremental product development.

The last part of the movie "Her" is still in the realm of science fiction, if not outright fantasy. Reminds me of the later seasons of SG1 with all the talk of ascension and Ancients. Or Clarke's 3001 book intro, where the monolith creators figured out how to encode themselves into spacetime. There's nothing incremental about that.

Whereas pg_analytics stores the data in Postgres block storage, pg_lakehouse does not use Postgres storage at all.

This makes it a much simpler (and in our opinion, more elegant) extension. We learned that many of our users already stored their Parquet files in S3, so it made sense to connect directly to S3 rather than asking them to ingest those Parquet files into Postgres.

It also accelerates the path to production readiness, since we're not touching Postgres internals (no need to mess with Postgres MVCC, write ahead logs, transactions, etc.)
> Her wasn’t a dystopia as far as I could tell.

I think that's still just an explanation of biases that go into development direction. I don't view that as a criticism but an observation. We use LLMs in our products, and I use them daily and I'm not sure how that's that negative.

We all have biases in how we determine intelligence, capability, and accuracy. Our biases color our trust and ability to retain information. There's a wealth of research around it. We're all susceptible to these biases. Being a researcher doesn't exclude you from the experience of being human.

Our biases influence how we measure things, which in turn influences how things behave. I don't see why you're so upset by that pretty obvious observation.

Not sure what I'm missing here, as Airtags have long worked like this - that as long as you had an iPhone or an Android phone with the anti-tracking app installed, you'd be notified of being stalked.

So if your bike thief had an iPhone, they'd be able to find the tag anyway?

AFAIK the only major difference is that it's now being baked into the Android OS so people don't need to actively download the app.
Pretty interesting how it turns out that --- contrary to science fiction movies --- talking naturally and modelling language is much easier and was achieved much sooner than solving complex problems or whatever it is that robots in science fiction movies do.
Well it's supposedly all non-ionizing radiation, which can't cause DNA damage and cancer links are controversial at best, but I agree it should be looked at statistically. Here are some other conjecturable variables:

- Novel chemicals in the environment?

- Composting bins now in proximity to food?

- Decline in vax rates? (pathogen-cancer route, immune response spillover route)

- Organic pesticides on organic vegetables?

With the 10-19 year-old groups, you're looking at very low overall numbers, so a 400% increase might mean something like from 10 to 50 cases a year in the US. Still, shedding light on this anomaly might uncover a major causal pathway in the older cohorts.

Remember when Chegg's stock price tanked? That's because GPT is extremely valuable as a homework helper. It can make mistakes, but that's very infrequent on well-understood topics like English, math and science through the high school level (and certainly if you hire a tutor, you'd pay a whole lot more for something that can also make mistakes).

Is that not a very meaningful thing to be able to do?

> Proton provides privacy by default and not anonymity by default because anonymity requires certain user actions to ensure proper [operational security] such as not adding your Apple account as an optional recovery method, which it appears was done by the alleged terror suspect.

I mean, fair enough. It sounds like Proton had a legal obligation to provide the recovery address under Swiss law. I am not 100% sure whether or not they could have refused, but Apple is the company that provided names and home address.

So if someone steals my luggage they can drive around with it until it alerts them and they turn my luggage tracker off?

I am not complaining.

What it amounts to, is that the digital world enables so much information gathering and using flexibility, we need fine grain permissions and controls for our devices and services, so they "do the right thing" for all kinds of corner cases.

But we don't have an information infrastructure for that, so the best we can do is balance concerns.
That's definitely cool!

Eventually it would be better for these models to run locally from a security point if view, but this is a great first step.
Math teacher here. Gulp. :-)

Seriously, though, its impressive.
There is no low hanging fruit when it comes to reducing plastic production or consumption. Plastic is just too awesome -- which is why we use it instead of whatever we used before plastics.

I'm not aware of any major use of plastic where going backwards in time is on-net more environmentally friendly. Most reports discussing plastic replacements make unreasonable reuse and durability assumptions. Often they ignore or downplay consequences of switching like increased transportation pollution or pollution from assumed recycling.
I’m working on building it, it’s time and resource-intensive.

If anyone wants to join the effort, we’re hiring.

I said that it was trivial to see that better is possible.

I never said that doing better is trivial: actually doing better is hard work, takes time, and costs money.

But it can be done and we will.
We can't afford to be climate doomers (2023)
I’d love something like that. Ultra low cost and simple. But I don’t know if it really has a purpose.
The device, from the beginning, was not designed as an anti-theft tracker. It’s always had features that made it unsuitable for this use case. At every point Apple has made it very clear they’re not interested in meeting users on that turf.

Users can say they’re not interested in it because it doesn’t suit their needs - that’s completely fine.
Absolutely. We're looking forward to Apple's announcements at WWDC this year, which analysts predict are right up that alley.
> That said, it's actually quite nice to have voice control over these things.

Yes! I really think voice assistants are underrated. When I talk to iOS users, they have a much less favorable opinion of Siri (and I've watched my partner give up on using it over the past 10 years) and given that iOS has dominant market share in the US, I suspect this is a part of it.

But I also think there is just so much "low hanging fruit" that would drastically improve the experience. But I remember that even during "the race" for voice AI, everyone was wondering... how will they monetize this? And I'm not sure anyone was ever truly able to figure that out.
It's almost a year since this James Watt came out with his steam engine and yet we are still using horses.

This is such a strange take - do you not remember 2020 when everyone started working from home? And today, when huge numbers of people continue to work from home? Most of that would be literally impossible without the cloud - it has been a necessary component in reshaping work and all the downstream effects related to values of office real estate, etc.

Literally a society-changing technology.
It’s almost always a factor of not having enough people to run business processes… as soon as companies try to cut back and overwhelm employees, they find shortcuts to make their workload still manageable.
Yes, in the repo.
Yup, but what I see so often happening is that people will look at the situation and automatically affix responsibility to whatever side has the most power, they obviously are being derelict in not working hard enough to solve the problem. Any attempt to point out other factors is treated as supporting the abuse by the side with the power. They have "solved" it by finding someone to blame.
Your tax dollars paid for it btw
Wondering the same. Can’t seem to find the way to interact with this in the same way as the video demo.
thanks! primarily classical. we designed an ensemble that considers both lexical & semantic similarity and trained on large datasets of labeled text.

we train our own 'out-of-the-box' models (like the intent classification, IAB, O*NET-SOC, NAICS) or you can create a custom model by just defining what labels you want.

I did wonder if there's a less verbose mode. I hope that's not a paywalled feature. Honestly it's possible that they use the friendliness to help buy the LLM time before it has to substantively respond to the user.
> So if someone steals my luggage they can drive around with it until it alerts them and they turn my luggage tracker off?

It's a common misconception that Airtags and similar products are designed to help you locate stolen items.

They not. "Tracker on stolen device" and "Tracker planted for the purposes of stalking" are indistinguishable situations.

They're to help you find things that you lost. They're amazing for that. They're sometimes helpful for finding stolen things too, but that is a side-effect.
Thanks!

1. It's single node, but DataFusion parallelizes query execution across multiple cores. We do have plans for a distributed architecture, but we've found that you can get ~very~ far just by scaling up a single Postgres node.

2. The only information stored in Postgres are the options passed into the foreign data wrapper and the schema of the foreign table (this is standard for all Postgres foreign data wrappers).
No way. Small to medium sized businesses don't need physical servers anymore. Which is most businesses. It's been a huge boon to most people. No more running your exchange servers on site. Most things that used to be on-prem software have moved to the cloud and integrate with mobile devices. You don't need some nerd sitting around all day in case you need to fix your on-prem industry specific app.

I have no idea how you can possibly shrug off the cloud as not that beneficial.
