One possible issue with the increasing adoption of AI is the potential for humans to lose their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As we come to rely more heavily on AI systems for assistance, there is a risk that individuals may become less self-reliant and less skilled at addressing complex issues on their own. This could lead to a gradual erosion of human intellectual capabilities, as we offload more of our cognitive tasks to AI.

Another concern is the potential disappearance of entry-level positions for junior developers due to AI-driven automation. As AI systems become more sophisticated and capable of performing tasks once reserved for human programmers, the job market may undergo a significant shift. This could make it increasingly difficult for newcomers to the field to gain a foothold and establish their careers.

There’s a halo around Ilya Sutskever as the Albert Einstein of AI. Are there others on par with his— umm, how would you qualify it—- AI intuition or are we idolizing?
Turmeric-based drinks we can find here in Japan are said to work miracles against hangover. I rarely drink alcohol, so I can't tell whether that's true.

What big companies that have equal or better branding are have fully remote jobs for seniors contributors?

I am sure you can name a couple, but I am skeptical that there are that many comparable roles available within those companies at this time.
You should probably use SRANDOM; less bias from the modulo (32 bits instead of 15) and uses arc4random or /dev/urandom if available.

Say it with me... GPT-4o doesn't know anything. It uses statistics to generate what is likely to be a match, or to categorize what it sees or hears. When it gets it wrong, it doesn't "know" it's wrong until you tell it. Then it tries to generate a statistically likely correction.

It's really good at this. But it doesn't understand, it doesn't reason. It just picks the next token like it's been trained to do.

The upshot is, unless you already know how and why the generated text is incorrect, you'll be fooled into thinking it's the answer.
Last time I was looking (pre covid) it was kinda hard to find readily available hardware to talk on 5.9GHz where there V2X 802.11p works. That is probably easier now that "Wi-Fi 6" uses that same chunk of spectrum as 802.11p. I'm guessing there is now (or soon will be) a Wi-Fi 6 usb (or perhaps PCI or M2/nVME) adaptor with enough flex in it's firmware that it can be convinced to talk 802.11p. Then you'd be talking a RasPi and a WiFi adaptor to start hacking on this.

There's a SDR openWiFi project that lets you build 5.8GHz WiFi using one of a list of SDR boards - it'd probably be fairly easy to tweak that into doing 802.11p, but now you're talking many hundreds of dollars worth of hardware - a bit outside FlipperZero/RasPi+dongle pricing.
Comments like this make me wonder whether I'm on reddit or HN.

If you stand at the center of a circle, and have a man walk a circle at radius r from you, and another man walk a circle at radius 2r, it will take the second man twice as long to complete the circle.

It's not a great leap to apply that to the planets.

But it's not proof that the planets were ordered that way.

Science happens when one invents an explanation for observed phenomena, and then the explanation (theory) makes a prediction, then an experiment is devised, and the theory is validated if the prediction matches the theory, or tossed aside if it doesn't. In other words, the scientific method. That appeared fairly recently, and the consequences were an explosion of knowledge.

Just the opinion of an outsider, so not worth very much. But Ilya seemed to be one of the few who actually believed in the mission. I’m sure it was hard for him to watch the company become so product focused.

OpenAI under Sam strikes me as completely disingenuous - and the constant hyperbolic tweeting by many OpenAI employees just reinforces that.

Too bad. While I don’t really think that OpenAI is on the right track for general intelligence, it certainly could have been a positive for the world.

Some of my earliest memories are of these kinds of perception, including the 'phosphenes' caused by internal pressure on the eyes when one looks to the side (they appear as fleeting, roundish flashes). It's curious to me that such formative memories would be triggered by something entirely 'internal' - not a measure of external stimulus involved. Perhaps in a similar way, someone else's earliest memory might be that of becoming aware of their heart beating!
Geez. We already have traffic cams on the streetlights. Just have an AI look at them, and let it figure out how to optimize flow. Think of the bipedal robots taught to walk by AI.

Surely he would have never gotten his current role if that is the case. There's way too much money and visibility involved.
When the bridge was originally constructed the concept of such protective impact barriers was quite new. The ship is also very different from the comparatively snub-nosed envisioned C7 types, trans-Atlantic cruisers, and barges that would've gone through when the bridge was designed in 1972. Cargo ships entering the harbour used to have wider bows with a shallower draft of thirty to thirty eight feet with a very shallow prow overhang because they were built for Atlantic voyages only.

There's few barges going through the harbour these days, and cargo ships now are global and mostly built to the variety of post-Panamax standards making them extremely long with a very deep draft of forty five feet or more. That means the spacing and height originally thought to be needed to deflect barges and C7s was far too broad and short for the Neo Panamax II class MV Dali or any other modern cargo ship, and the deep draft that required a narrow bow and long prow allowed the bow to slide right in between the barriers and then ride up until it hit the bridge support. Essentially the nose had an overhang long enough that it hit the bridge support long before the rest of the ship hit the protective barrier.
No. Some of the retiming stuff that was added to Shake later was also added to Motion/FCP. But the whole point of Motion was to leverage GPU power to produce swoopy, polished-looking motion graphics with minimal keyframing and rendering. And at that it excels. It was built mostly by the former Effect team from Discreet, after Apple brought the whole team in; right after Shake & team.

I created some commercial-grade (or better) DVD menus with Motion back in the day. Even now if I have to prepare some kind of glossy promo for something, I use Motion.

But for the ultimate quality I always turned to Shake. I knew it wasn't doing anything dumb that would degrade the image.
This entire saga is really an example of the absurdity of non-profits and philanthropy in general.

The only difference between nonprofit and for-profit entities is that nonprofits divert their profits to a nebulous “cause”, with the investors receiving nothing, while for-profits can distribute profits to their funders.

Other than that, they are free to operate identically.

Generally, entities subject to competitive pressures and with incentives for performance are much better at “benefitting humanity.” Therefore, non-profit status really only makes sense when, one, a profitable enterprise oriented around the intended result isn’t viable (e.g., conservation) or two, there’s a stakeholder that we’ve decided ought to be sheltered from the dynamics of private enterprise, e.g, university students or neutral public broadcasters.

But even in these cases, the non-profit entities basically behave like profit-oriented companies, because their goal is still profitability, just without a return to investors.

OpenAI as a nonprofit would behave the exact same way. There’s no law that the models would have to be open. They’d still be making closed models, charging users, and paying massive salaries. Literally the only difference is that they wouldn’t be able to return money to their investors, and therefore have a much harder time attracting investors, and therefore be less equipped to accomplishing their goal of developing powerful AI.

The irony is that nonprofits are usually only good for things that make for shitty businesses, and things that make shitty businesses usually aren’t that beneficial to humanity. As soon as something becomes really good at what it does, for-profit status makes sense.

What this means, imo, is that most philanthropy dollars are wasted and we would be much better off if they were invested instead. The irony is that this is the point of much philanthropic giving - it ends up being a game of how much money you can burn on nothing, a crass status symbol.

On Debian-derived systems, the list can be found with:

The exact opposite is true then. They want to claim that land and those resources for themselves because they can never have enough of neither.
That sounds actively harmful. Often we want story boards to be less specific so as not to have some non artist decision maker ask why it doesn't look like the storyboard.

And when we want it to match exactly in an animatic or whatever, it needs to be far more precise than this, matching real locations etc.
Well, no.

No VC who wants anything to do with OpenAI would invest in Ilya.

Ilya represents the anti-OpenAI ethos. So it would only be a VC who would be comfortable publicly being an anti-OpenAI VC, which is not that many.
this looks like a really interesting approch for binary analisys. impressive work! Am I right to assume it would let you write tools to target this bitcode, allowing them to analuse binaries from different architectures with singular logic? it would save so much hastle :O

I think Steve Jobs was always kind of pissed that he couldn't get away with dumbing-down Shake.

"EVs, batteries, solar cells, steel, aluminum and medical equipment."

The taxing of EVs is pure political theater because very few (or none?) Chinese EVs can be licensed as vehicles. They would've have had to undergo homologation work with the manufacturer or be outfitted and certified by a third-party for more money than it would cost to buy a Tesla.

Them owning apartment buildings remains fine.

They're now buying up residential single family homes. IIRC, 10% of homes in hot markets are being bought with cash, no questions asked (wave inspections etc).

These private equity funds then rent those homes, with no intention of ever selling.

Meaning families are competing with funds for the already limited stock. Meaning rentals are now becoming a fixture in neighborhoods.

I don't think the idea that (idealized, camera) lenses focus light from distinct points in one plane (or at infinity) onto distinct points in another plane is 'completely wrong', but I'm open to being educated on my error.

A lens focuses light parallel to its axis onto its focal point; it focuses parallel light coming in off-axis to other points on the focal plane.

Alternatively, and equivalently, it focuses divergent light coming from common points on planes closer than infinity, onto matching points on other planes behind its focal plane.

For any company already using MS/Office 365, €2 is pretty low but with Slack at $7.25 USD it still seems viable.

Perhaps not in general, but if the barrier of entry is radically lowered - such as if a new technique that drastically lowers the compute required for training is discovered - then Nvidia and a whole host of startups will lose lot of value. A lot of the positions assumes LLMs will remain SotA in the foreseeable future, which is not a bet I'd take.

Even if that doesn't happen, there will be a lot of consolidation and bankruptcies when AI funding dries up when category winners become clear and investors cur their losses - the same happened suddenly when the dot-com bubble burst, and little more gently with "web 2.0" startups

Fun historical note: When Steve Jobs flew the Shake team up to Cupertino, he came to lunch for a meet-&-greet. He sat down and said some things; among them was, "Yeah, you guys built this cross-platform UI that looks the same on every platform... but we have people here who know more about UI than you ever will."

Needless to say, the Shake UI remained intact for the rest of its days.
