The single largest regulation in any capitalist society - the one on which literally the most policing resources are spent, by far - is abstract private property rights. Capitalism cannot exist without that, because you wouldn't be able to accumulate capital indefinitely if there aren't people with guns that are ready and willing to do violence on your behalf to protect the thing that some paper says its yours.

So, yes, the market isn't really free, and never has been, when you don't selectively exclude some kinds of regulation from consideration.
There's no such apprenticeship criteria required for many states. Some do have a minimal amount of work experience, but it's usually a couple years and no more.

Very cool, and what’s cooler is this rap about alphafold3 https://heymusic.ai/blog/news/alphafold-3
Late-stage capitalism didn't bring us AlphaFold, scientists did, late-stage capitalism just brought us Alphabet swooping in at literally the last minute. Socialize the innovation because that requires potential losses, privatize the profits, basically. It's reminiscent of "Heroes of CRISPR," where Doudna and Charpentier are supposedly just some middle-men, because stepping in at the last minute with more funding is really what fuels innovation.

AlphaFold wasn't some lone genius breakthrough that came out of nowhere, everything but the final steps were basically created in academia through public funding. The key insights, some combination of realizing that the importance of sequence to structure to function put analyzable constraints on sequence conservation and which ML models could be applied to this, were made in academia a long time ago. AlphaFold's training set, the PDB, is also a result of decades of publicly funded work. After that, the problem was just getting enough funding amidst funding cuts and inflation to optimize. David Baker at IPD did so relatively successfully, Jinbo Xu is less of a fundraiser but was able to keep up basically alone with one or two grad students at a time, etc. AlphaFold1 threw way more people and money to basically copy what Jinbo Xu had already done and barely beat him at that year's CASP. Academics were leading the way until very, very recently, it's not like the problem was stalled for decades.

Thankfully, the funding cuts will continue until research improves, and after decades of inflation cutting into grants, we are being rewarded by funding cuts to almost every major funding body this year. I pledge allegiance to the flag!

EDIT: Basically, if you know any scientists, you know the vast majority of us work for years with little consideration for profit because we care about the science and its social impact. It's grating for the community, after being treated worse every year, to then see all the final credit go to people or companies like Eric Lander and Google. Then everyone has to start over, pick some new niche that everyone thinks is impossible, only to worry about losing it when someone begins to get it to work.

This isn't the case anymore.

Technology has evolved and users don't control their stuff any more. All kinds of things like parts serialization, cryptographic attestation, etc. are finally getting to the point where it's impossible to bypass the controls.

As those solutions get polished and become more accessible, we'll see a rapid increase in products and services where users never truly have control over them.

Even worse, I'd say that between businesses and people that want to keep their kids safe, the majority of people will opt-in to boot-locked PCs if they're marketed for safety.

Give it a bit and I bet Microsoft will start offering some kind of secure or safety mode for Windows PCs. The TPM requirement on Windows 11 must have some long term goal associated with it, and perfectly locked down devices doing attestation is likely part of their identity play. Whether it's attesting for or against the user is another question.

Interesting take! It does seem to address a typical "intermediate" workflow; even though we prefer linear finished products, we often work by completing a hierarchy first. I've been using Gingko [1] for years, I find it eases the struggle of organizing the structure of a problem by both allowing endless expansion of levels, and easily collapsing it into a linear structure.

In your case, do you hold N contexts (N being the number of leaves in the tree)? Are the chats disconnected from each other? How do you propose to transition from an endless/unstructured canvas to some sort of a finished, organized deliverable?

>you posted that comment in reply to stevekemp talking about the c compilers he was trying on his cp/m emulator; maybe you clicked the wrong reply link

No, I clicked the right reply link that I meant to.

But I see the issue now.

Although his context was small sized compilers on CP/M, my (implied) context was not.

Mine was just small sized compilers, period.

My comment about TP 3 was in that context, and was not referring to CP/M. IOW, I was just saying, TP 3 was another small compiler (and I omitted saying that it was on DOS). I did not even know that TP had existed on CP/M, although I had used that OS briefly, before DOS, and had actually used a Pascal compiler on it, in a programming course I was attending. I remember the machine had those big 8-inch floppy disks. (1) But that was not the TP compiler, it was some other one, I don't remember which.

So I can understand why you thought I was talking about CP/M, and hence said that it had no EXE files.

(1) Or it might have been an MP/M machine, because I vaguely remember that we had to log in to it.

It’s not security theater.

The intention here is not to prevent people from learning how to shoplift.

The intention is to prevent the AI output from ‘reflecting badly’ upon OpenAI (by having their tool conspire and implicate them as an accessory in the commission of a crime).

If a stranger asked you for advice on how to commit a crime, would you willingly offer it?

If they asked for advice on how to prevent crime, would you?
When I competed in CASP 20 years ago (and lost terribly) I predicted that the next step to improve predictions would be to develop empirically fitted force fields to make MD produce accurate structure predictions (MD already uses empirically fitted force fields, but they are not great). This area was explored, there are now better force fields, but that didn't really push protein structure prediction forward.

Another approach is fully differentiable force fields- the idea that the force field function itself is a trainable structure (rather than just the parameters/weights/constants) that can be optimized directly towards a goal. Also explored, produced some interesting results, but nothing that woudl be considered transformative.

The field still generally believes that if you had a perfect force field and infinite computing time, you could directly recapitulate the trajectories of proteins folding (from fully unfolded to final state along with all the intermediates), but that doesn't address any practical problems, and is massively wasteful of resources compared to using ML models that exploit evolutionary information encoded in sequence and structures.

In retrospect I'm pretty relieved I was wrong, as the new methods are more effective with far fewer resources.

Please, no exceptions. No exceptions.

There was a language featured on HN recently that did a good job of making it trivial to build sum types for results/errors from disparate other sum types for results/errors. It can be made easy while retaining the idea of using a sum type for results.
Startup pitch: It is like McKinsey but for erotica.

On a more serious note. I understand and largely agree with this argument. However OpenAI have several times being argue that they are the only ones to be responsible enough to develop powerful AI, and that others should not be allowed to play. That is a highly problematic behavior on their part, I think.
The reality is, after managing very large teams, is that a lot of the work teams decide to do don't really move the needle. Managers let it slide because they are afraid to look like their teams aren't doing valuable work, and don't want to lose headcount but also don't want to be accused of micro-managing.

It's not a great situation.
This is the answer. You're supposed to learn this if you take quality swim lessons.

I was a Red Cross Water Safety Instructor and lifeguard. I taught plenty of lessons to sub-10% body fat adults who had this problem. I generally have this problem too.

I can still float all day effortlessly.

I would totally try this toy out if it was at a resort and I could try it free or for a small charge. I think I wouldn't likely buy one but I would definitely enjoy trying it.

It is extremely clear to me this is a toy for expert swimmers. Anyone who has any fear at all of it should not try it. A lot of the comments read to me as people who are not good swimmers and aren't being straightforward about it and are projecting things onto the device.

But I also see no reason why you can't use this thing with a PFD. For something like a snorkeling program you could let people use it with a PFD.

A lot of people who can't swim freak out and have poor control of their breath. That's why this is a sticking point in lessons sometimes. You can tell someone to slow their breathing and hold more air in their lungs, but they are basically freaking out breathing fast and they have no control.

I think it's important to qualify that the relevant "game" is not advanced science per se; the game is business whose product is science. The aim isn't to do novel science; it's to do something which can be advertised as novel science. That isn't to cast aspersions on the personal motivations of Hassabis or any other individual researcher working there (which itself isn't to remove their responsibilities to public understanding); it's to cast aspersions on the structure that they're part of. And it's not to say that they can't produce novel or important science as part of their work there. And it's also not to say that the same tension isn't often present in the science world - but I think it's present to an extreme degree at DeepMind.

(Sometimes the distinction between novel science and advertisably novel science is very important, as seems to be the case in the "new materials" research dopylitty linked to in these comments: here https://www.404media.co/google-says-it-discovered-millions-o...)

Took your advice and tried DuckDB. Here's what I've got so far:

```

def _get_duck_db_arrow_results(s3_key):

con = duckdb.connect(config={'threads': 1, 'memory_limit': '1GB'})
con.install_extension("aws")
con.install_extension("httpfs")
con.load_extension("aws")
con.load_extension("httpfs")

con.sql("CALL load_aws_credentials('hadrius-dev', set_region=true);")
con.sql("CREATE SECRET (TYPE S3,PROVIDER CREDENTIAL_CHAIN);")
results = con \
.execute(f"SELECT * FROM read_parquet('{s3_key}');") \
.fetch_record_batch(1024)
for index, result in enumerate(results):
print(index)
return results

```

I ran the above on a 1.4gb parquet file and 15 min later, all of the results were printed at once. This suggests to me that the whole file was loaded loaded into memory at once.

At my previous job at a big webshop, I had to manually process hundreds of images.

I had to dynamically crop, remove the background whitespace, compress and convert them to the correct file type. All one by one. This took hours of manual labor.

So I spent 2 years building a tool that does all of this automatically.

This has saved my lazy self a lot of hours. Hopefully it will save you some hours too.

Ahh, but the new young master is able to explain their work and processes to the satisfaction of the old masters. In the 'Science' of our modern times it's a requirement to show your work (yes, yes, I know about the replication crisis and all that terrible jazz).

Not being able to ascertain how and why the ML/AI is achieving results is not quite the same and more akin to the alchemists and sorcerers with their cyphers and hidden laboratories.
> I hope people think about what would motivate one to write and publish a piece like this.

The same can be said about those that oppose legislation. Are you against it because you're some black hat that knows how to exploit people using AI? Are you just part of Big Data and want to harvest everyone's info? Are you some kind of pseudo-anarchist that believes society is better off without any rules? Maybe you are all of those things. But it's most likely you're not. As it's most likely that the person who wrote this is not maliciously motivated.

My point is it's not conducive to assume someone has nefarious reasons for an opinion with no evidence of it. Try pointing out flaws and countering them. Jumping to conclusions that someone's a shill/troll/whatever is a bad idea in general.

It's fascinating how in certain genres producers have elevated themselves, rightly in my opinion, to positions that are almost equal to the artists they're recording. In pop and hip-hop, people really care about who produced what, often because the producer has an enormous role in the overall sound of the music. Those producers would probably disagree with Albini right away. It's less a thing when you're dealing with a band or people who play an instrument, but I can also think of some metal producers who have very distinct sounds and who usually leave an "imprint" on the recording (Colin Marston and Kurt Ballou for examples). Albini, though, seemed to really believe that his role was to just be a kind of neutral technician, manning the switches and ensuring the band and their music gets on the record through a series of indifferent tubes with no other input.

Outside of his position on royalties, he was one of the best and harshest critics of the music industry:
