It discusses exactly this, how LLMs just mimmick intelligent behaviour but have no understanding of the world at all.
It also discusses other approaches we should look at instead of current LLMs.

I've got a 1000 litre / 250-ish US gallon rainwater collection tank. While I wouldn't want to start there for drinking water, it would do for quite a while if I boil it.

We do get power failures, so it's mostly been for some garden watering, and being able to flush our toilets during an outage. We're on a well, and the pump needs 220v. I suppose I could get a better generator too, ours only does 120v.

I am personally refreshed reading through the comments here and seeing a nuanced, rational response to the ad rather than the manufactured outrage you mentioned.
"You have no right" here means you have no moral right, not a legal right. Yes, you have every right to make fun of people. But it is a jerk move. It's the prototypical jerk move.

As for hypocrisy - if someone says, "you're acting like a jerk" and you say, "I have every right to make fun of you," you're not going to be able to convince me these are equivalent positions.

Given 4 stakeholders, which is quite a lot to externalize in the value chain:

1. Sellers

2. Packers

3. Buyers

4. Shippers (i. 1->2 & ii. 2->3)

I'm wondering how they solve:

A. Gamification of shrinkage on the buyer and packer levels.

B. Trust of sellers to give packers product. Really good insurance coverage?

C. If a packer also happens to be local to a buyer, might there be an option to request last-mile, accelerated delivery?

D. Incentivizing buyers to give packers and sellers OOBE feedback.
I was responding to a comment that directly said this was a stop gap before they made a real AI centric chip, in that context, the chips will need more ram, until they do, they will be offloading a lot of stuff to the server.

The Ultra may support 192gb but that also comes at an insane cost, if AI is going to become mainstream and Apple want to do this on device, the base models are going to need more Ram, processing power on these systems is not the bottleneck, the RAM is.

I've been working on my own reverse-engineering/decompilation project (Tenchu: Stealth Assassins) and I've created a Ghidra extension that can export a program selection as a working, relocatable object file [1].

I've had some really good results on x86 since writing an analyzer for an architecture where relocation spots target 4-byte immediate fields inside of instructions is fairly easy. Unfortunately, the PlayStation uses a MIPS processor and writing an analyzer for split HI16/LO16 relocations is proving to be a devilishly tricky problem. I got it to a point where it works well enough on MIPS most of the time, but there's always a new weird edge case hidden inside a function thousands of instructions long where it breaks down...

One of the (many) major improvements of git over CVS was that CVS stored diffs., while git (not on lowest, but practicalblaxer) stores the full files.

Depending on diffs made it hard to jump between versions (need to calculate the intermediate steps for any operation) while tracking full files made it possible that git could track changes even over files, thus in some cases it can even merge when code is moved between files.

And for the merge: Even the "simple" merge you describe will likely lead to issues when a designer worked on improving surface to make a scene look "right" while somebody else changes the scene and the merge then goes somewhat unseen. And for that kind of stuff you don't have any unit tests as at least a safety net, as you have with code ("it compiles and tests pass - the merge didn't break anything fundamental")

I disagree that scripted NPCs have nothing to say. You have a few basic types:

* NPCs that don’t want to speak and usually offer a dismissive comment or a single repeating phrase. Fine candidates to LLM so long as this pattern doesn’t change. But also, who really cares?

* important NPCs with specific written dialogue. Don’t even THINK about gambling with your story’s self consistency by giving these guys agency

* the limited townsfolk type that has a small bit of something say. Like a typical Baldurs gate NPC. These people are fun to talk to because they “might” have something relevant or fun to say. Usually you don’t have to say anything. They just want to share things with you. It would be very tedious to chat with these people if they were infinite wells of lore and nothingness to be probed with written language.

> You know I think you have interesting arguments, but at the same time I feel like somehow you are just very anti web components

Yes, I am, hence the arguments.

I'm not the only one against them. There are multiple reasons why even the people who originally modeled their frameworks after web components and were very pro-web components are not at best completely indifferent towards them: Svelte, Vue, Solid JS.

> I understand you're issues with it, but I also think that implementing web standards is a different thing from a framework

Yes, yes, it is a very different thing, and that's why you should be very careful when implementing anything, and listen to people who have to deal with these standards.

People working on these standards would ignore, berate, denigrate and gaslight anyone who would point out glaring and obvious issues with the design of web components. They would throw more and more standards at the problem trying to patch holes that were caused by the design of web components.

In 2022 they finally relented, sat down and wrote what more is needed to bring web components barely on par with existing userland solutions. And admitted that many of the issues that still need to be solved are the direct result of their design.

> But at the same time I also feel like we should be engaged in a positive way with making certain patterns more integrated with the browser

People have tried to do that. As I say, they were ignored, belittled and gaslighted. The people who were the most vocal proponents are now at best indifferent and will not touch web components with a 10-mile stick.

What can be said with confidence is that the Earth currently grows enough food to support 10 billion people, when some people back in the 60s and 70s predicted massive starvation and shortages would have happened long before that.
Yes, we should change the units to have a more rational approach, that doesn't boil down to a new version of first world colonialism that tells the undeveloped world they missed the boat and now can't catch up because we've already wrecked the environment on their behalf.

> When your work poses a risk to the bottom line of another company, they have every right to be protective and implement the policies they feel will bring in more customers and money.

The issue is when that interacts with this:

> I do believe Apple is anti competitive in the US due to this

For two reasons. First, if the flea market is being unreasonable, you can just flip them off and go set up your stall in a less unreasonable flea market. Whereas if it's Apple, you have to find a way to get a working account with them or you're done.

And second, because of that, it allows them to be unreasonable because the developers have no other options, whereas normally the different stores would be competing with each other for both suppliers and customers.

But it's not that different with Google, because of this:

> People want to be on the Play Store and not FDroid or the many others because that's where the customers are

And specifically because of why that is the case.

Why are all the customers on Google Play? There many companies in a good position to create a competing store. Major retailers like Walmart and Amazon already have your payment information, already have a system for vetting third party sellers, how come they don't have Android stores as popular as Google's? Shouldn't Paypal be in a good position to put up a store where you can buy apps via a URL to the developer's site? Where are these things?

It turns out Google suppresses them in various ways. Notice how there are zero major Android OEMs who ship a preinstalled third party store that isn't their own. Normally that sort of thing is like free money. OEM gets like $1/device from each of Walmart and Amazon just to put their store on the home screen. But that's nowhere. Weird, right?

Alternate stores in theory is not the same as viable alternate stores in practice.

So to reiterate, the problem is not that they can boot you out for arbitrary reasons, it's that they can boot you out for arbitrary reasons and then you have no viable alternatives. Then innocent people reasonably try to create a new account or do whatever they have to do given the circumstances.

I agree with everything you said, I just don't see why we need both UTC and TAI. That is, I don't understand why we insist on keeping UTC synchronized with Earth's orientation.

On the one hand (like you said before), UTC is what we use for stuff like ordering transactions, which has absolutely nothing to do with the position of the Sun in the Sky.

And on the other hand, we already use timezones to reconcile the rough position of the Sun with our universal clock. Timezones only have resolution of 1 hour (or half in very few places), but looking at how fudged a lot them are, people don't really seem to care. I mean, look at Argentina, which fits almost perfectly in UTC-4 but chooses to use UTC-3 instead. China is even crazier, using a single time in its whole territory which could easily have 3 or 4 different timezones.
