I don't know where this idea came from that an application should look and feel exactly the same across Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and so on. I have encountered this attitude in more than one company, but have not heard of any actual customer who wants this. As an actual computer user, the worst applications tend to be the ones that stick out like a sore thumb by ignoring OS conventions and using custom-drawn controls with nonstandard behavior.

Magic was monetized from the beginning. It was the precursor to loot boxes in modern computer gaming and used the same hooks that get people addicted to gambling to encourage sales of booster packs.
Given the one comment, I wouldn't draw too many conclusions re: Anthropic.* SNR ratio on AI everywhere is low-ish, and optimizing for a low cost multimodal model is a business-directed need that's rather niche currently.

Yes: I also think we must vocally, expressly reject anything that I don't find to be completely necessary. Other use cases == doing it wrong.
True. But to have both fail at the same time usually means an actual overcurrent for some reason

I don't understand OpenAI's pricing strategy. For free I can talk to GPT 3.5 on an unlimited basis, and a little to GPT 4o. If I pay $20 a month, I can talk to GPT 4o eighty times every three hours, or once every two and a half minutes. That's both way more than I need, and way less than I would expect for twenty dollars a month. I wish they had a $5 per month tier that included, say, eighty messages per 24-hours.
Plenty of new research languages are coming out with linear types.

Building a mainstream language is extremely expensive these days, to the point that probably only a handful of companies can attempt it. I work in Scala which teeters on the edge of mainstream, and it's not the language itself that needs major backing, it's all the other stuff - IDEs, library repositories, build tools, profilers. I would love to leap into e.g. Idris, which does have linear types, but who's going to write an IDE for it? Even Rust struggles with this.

And it's very hard to retrofit linear types onto an existing language, if you can even get a quorum in favour of doing so. Haskell is trying, and I wish them well, but it's not going to be easy, and again they're barely mainstream.
I take that to mean there were zero law enforcement reports. Going to law enforcement is always your port of call when dealing with any sort of criminal activity happening as it relates to a tech company. Even Apple says this as it relates to AirTags.

Think about it for a second. If anyone could contact a tech company to get people's information based on a serial number, this would be abused by people who could steal your phone, airpods, or bag containing an airtag, claim to be stalked, contact the manufacturer directly, and get your home address from the manufacturer by giving them the serial number.

"If you feel your safety is at risk, you can contact your local law enforcement, who can work with Apple. You might need to provide the AirTag or its serial number."

> While I can't bring myself to goto the gym due to self esteem issue and not knowing what I'd even do their, I have started to walk more and move around as part of being a college student.

I can empathise with this, I was 107kg just over two years ago and am now down around 85kg. Walking with a small amount of jogging (to increase heart rate slightly) was hugely instrumental but so was building muscle mass. Well done for getting started.

Something that worked for me (and may not work for you as a college student) was to start seeing a personal trainer with a focus on learning techniques to build muscle mass. I now am able to go to the gym on my own and train without my trainer, use a Smith machine and various other pieces of equipment and the benefits have been huge.
The issue is less 'evolving', than the fact that humans are terrible, some posit wholly incapable, of UNlearning things. Learning new things is easy within our established models, but outside a reality-translation device, transgressing things we "know", is still subconscuiously verboten to even the most open-minded of us.

Almost all do. Look for binary library releases; they almost always supply Debug and Release binaries together.

Funnily enough, it does. foo.lib for Release; food.lib for Debug.
I get your point but suggest finding better source material. Harvey Silverglate has made a great living out of telling just-so stories with lots of emotional activation, that fall apart on closer examination. For example he'll tell a sob story about someone being charged for collecting oysters on a Sunday, only it turns out that it's a large commercial operation that ignores environmental or employment regulations and has been defying regulators for years on end.

Every Android tablet I've ever had has done maybe 2 days worth of "work" for me.

I use mine on and off through the day, about half an hour at lunch time, and for a few hours continuously each night.

I charge mine when it gets below 50% so usually every second day. It's really not a burden.

Battery life of Android tablets is fine.

Likely not as good as an iPad in that regard, but an iPad can't do the things I want to do, so there's that.

When I was a boy, I had a newspaper route. It required me to deliver the newspapers at around 5AM, when it was still dark. While biking around the neighborhood throwing newspapers at houses, I would also watch the night sky.

Ancient people also lived largely outside. They'd see the patterns, too. This isn't amazing or sophisticated or incredible.
I'll say it again - the one who was irreplaceable at OpenAI is Ilya, not Sam.
Sam "Worldcoin" Altman regrets the loss of a friend that called him out on how OpenAi is becoming closed because the engineers realized they could make a lot of money. Doesn't seem like it is impacting the quality of the models, but it will probably impact openai's impact.
I read Sam's Tweet and see "I fired him cause he voted against me"...

Im sorry but every time I see Sam speak, or read what he has to say all I can thing is "petulant man child".

Honestly that sounds sufficiently secure for what it is.
I think search needs to split in two.

One isn’t even search, it’s generic questions: “how do I make pickled onions” type queries where an LLM can actually make sense of the millions of recipes and summarize them for you. I guess this is the vast majority and what google has been drifting towards for years now as the average user has become less technical.

But we need a completely separate one, based purely on indexing, for “very specific error code stack trace” type searches where LLMs are zero use and current google results are useless. Perhaps an LLM could be trained to separate the blogspam from the actual information to help keep the dataset clean from the inevitable SEO-poison. There’s at last no lack of negative examples in the data…

A friend calls it the Logjam Principle. There are always a few logs floating down the river and that's not really a problem. But a small logjam of just a few logs will grow over time until the entire river is obstructed. It's better not to let things get to that state.

Are the Lazy variants ever a good idea? The author already argues against lazy IO. Are Lazy variants worth using for anything else? I always thought Haskell is typeful and that Lazy variants hide too much under the covers that should be exposed in the types.

Also I still don’t think there’s a great argument for [Char] other than its historical baggage.

During tax season (in US), for security, you may optionally create a 5 digit pin. I wanted mine to be unaffiliated with any existing pin I have, and chose a 'random' number and wrote it down. A year later I repeated this (and had long since forgotten the previous pin), went to go write it in the same place, and saw that both 'random' numbers had the same first four digits. I now use a computer to choose random numbers because I no longer trust myself to be random.

Yep. MAANG won't touch it because they can't by company policy. But some FOSS people don't know any bettor or commercial FOSS-washed startups don't understand the implications of encumbering a project with impractical strings on use because "everyone else is doing it." Either let the code be free or keep it proprietary rather than waffle or force unreasonable BS on users.
I wonder if that's true at a certain stage of OpenAI, which because of the product bootstrapping skills of Sam and co, has made his role irrelevant?

I mean, Jakub can take it forward at the current scale and leadership team of Sam and other people, but maybe he could not have earlier, which is where Ilya shone?
Because if you're issuing a bogus pre-fetch, you can't cancel it, can you? So that's 90 or something cycles that's the fetch for your actual data is being delayed. Pointer chasing already strains the memory bandwidth, trying to request even more data from memory will only worsen things.

And unrolling loop for traversing linked lists can be done, if you use a sentinel node instead of nullptr to signal then end:

beqz a0, .end
.loop:
ld a1, 0(a0) ; a1 = curr->data
ld a0, 8(a0) ; curr = curr->next
; do something with payload in a1 here
bnez a1, .loop
.end:

becomes

la s1, sentinel
beq a0, s1, .end
ld a1, 0(a0)
ld a2, 8(a0)
ld a3, 0(a2)
ld a4, 8(a2)
ld a5, 0(a4)
ld a6, 8(a4)
beq a6, s1, .trail
.loop:
ld t0, 0(a6)
ld t1, 8(a6)
ld t2, 0(t1)
ld t3, 8(t1)
ld t4, 0(t3)
ld t5, 8(t3)
; do something with three payloads in a1, a3, a5 here
mv a1, t0
mv a2, t1
mv a3, t2
mv a4, t3
mv a5, t4
mv a6, t5
bne t5, s1, .loop
mv a0, a2
beq a2, s1, .end
.trail:
ld a1, 0(a0)
ld a0, 8(a0)
; do something with payload in a1 here
bne a0, s1, .trail
.end:

As you can see, "ld t3, 8(a2)" is almost right after to "ld t1, 8(a6)", with intervening load from 0(a2), so prefetch won't noticeably help here, and if the address that ends up in t3 is not in the cache, then "ld t5, 8(t3)" will stall no matter what. And moving the speculative loads up in the loop body before processing the payloads (using even more registers, as you can see) somewhat hurts the latency of processing the first three payloads.

Oh, and if you want to see something really crazy, look at e.g. splitting the branch instruction into prediction and resolution instructions [0].

Well, silos being a perfect good outcome is debatable.. I for one don't agree.. But that is already possible today, just not at the escale of most social medias..

But let's be realistic, that will never happen..

A enormous amount of dialog is taking place in just a few social media because that is the majority of the people are.. That is not a problem you solve by just throwing more tech into it..

And that is part of the problem, while people share the same space kind of equally, their ideas do not because of the biases of the platform.. And people end-up being flood with one only one side of the discussion whatever they like it or not..

Everything that bluesky aim to do already exist in some form or another but it never got traction simple because people are not there..

In my opinion a much more realistic future is countries starting to ban foreign social medias, as it is already starting to happen. Not that this would be any better then what we have today..

Truth is that is is an extremely complex problem with no simple solution..

The problem is that the state is not capable of understanding who is disadvantaged and why. The state, through its own policies, is often responsible for some of its citizen's failures. This is especially true today as monetary policies of the state distort most markets and people with specific skillsets that may be useful under an efficient system may find those skillsets useless under a bureaucratic system which favors unnecessary complexity.

Also, ironically, welfare laws in many countries tend to discriminate against homeless people... E.g. the bureaucracy often requires people to provide a home address and have a phone number.

They thought people might buy a handful of random cards (not 4x best card) and everyone might use different cards (whatever they had lying around). Closer to traditional kitchen magic. He never intended the game to be so expensive. And mythic rares weren't a thing for the first decade and a half.
