What a fool of me.

Milley actually didn't even say the quote that we're discussing. An unidentified man did.

The meaning of the quote in the context of the exchange where it was made is not entirely clear, I agree with you on that. The headline exploits this uncertainty. The reader's (i.e., me) biases fill in the blanks.

For all we know, the guy was just trying to impress a woman. He could be nothing more than a researcher manning a both, making a bizarre claim at a bizarre conference. His reference to "Oppenheimer" could even be about the film and not the actual man.

Pardon me for your time. I can see why this story is getting so much criticism.

Supply = number of units being rented or available for rent. Demand = number of people trying to rent. Youve got supply and demand backwards.

That’s the velocity of the earth around the sun. But “orbital velocity at the surface of the earth” is supposed to be the velocity a satellite in an orbit at ground level around the earth would have.

Somewhat controversial but honestly, if someone will consume this sort of material, I rather it is deepfake than the real thing. I think it's pretty authoritarian for the state to outlaw – and jail to 14 years in prison someone – because he rendered the “wrong arrangement of pixels ” on his computer. The whole way society deals with problem, regarding the consumption of this material, there's a lot moral panic going on and folks using this to increase government overreach.
Honestly, the more I was researching about what happened in that glibc version update, the more I thought "self inflicted".

If you're using NULL terminated strings everywhere, and not UTF8/16, it's your own fault for doing so. Especially if you are building a database which should always contain a length of bytes or at least a CRC check before each entry's contents in its serialized file format to prevent exactly this from happening.

(Let alone the question why is there no schema version that should have prevented this from happening in the first place)
Yeah. That is a weird comment in the article. Like have these people not heard of the space shuttle?

It looks like a chibi version of the shuttle.
I think your first sentence of the original post was putting people off; perhaps remove that and keep only the second...
> If an ancient, 20 year old email client, tries to send a message – it finds the MX record and sends the message just like normal.

> From there, the email services which implement MX2 would publish a public date, on which all messages sent to them by the old MX record, will be automatically sent to Junk.

And the idiocy kicks in two sentences later: IPv4/IPv6 anyone?

PC games that have a shader pre compile step usually have to re do it when new drivers come out, pre compiled shaders can be shipped to closed systems such as consoles or even steam deck but not for PC. Each different GPU brand requires different ones and like I said even when you update drivers.

Since learning Eiffel in the 90's I keep looking forward for them to become mainstream, beyond the typical assert like statements.

So far we had annotations in Java (which required additional tooling and never took off), .NET (hidden behind enterprise license, thus hardly adopted), D (which suffers from adoption), Common Lisp (nice, but again adoption issues), Ada (again the language adoption), C++26 (if they actually land, and only as MVP)

Almost 40 years later, and still no good story for DbC.

> You can completely understand the language since it's so small

Not really. There are many dark corners to the language, and many opportunities for subtle misunderstandings.

Plenty of C programmers don't even understand the basics of how types work in C, e.g. why you shouldn't use printf's %d format specifier with an argument of type size_t.
My first step onboarding new people is to make sure an experienced dev helps the new ones make their first commit. He didn't even get them to that point. It's primarily a bad leader/manager, not bad workers that create a problem.
I think this new dimension makes things even worse. Soon everyone will be able to steal your image to depict you doing whatever they can think up that's disturbing to me. I know that you can do this with photo editing skills already but AI will be like the iPhone for abuse.
I'd add a few ingredients to brutalism, the idea that pure geometry and macro structures were the main factor to evaluate quality. A lot of post 60s projects were like that, large spaces, simple lines and curves, big blocks and connections. A top down architect game.
>>contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer. Even acknowledging that the NDA exists is a violation of it.

Perfect! So it's so incredibly overreaching that any judge in California would deem the entire NDA unenforceable..

Either that or, in your effort to overstate a point, you exaggerated in a way that undermines the point you were trying to make.
This a big issue in modern PC games, games that don’t do a shader pre compile before starting the game suffer from serious shader compile stutters while playing the 1st time, dropping frames every time a new variation is required for a particular frame, it’s actually bad.
Honestly I think torrents are not a bad idea for this.

My only experience with offshore teams is quite bad. Lot of communication issues (I know we French are viewed as rude in professional settings, but at least you don't have to know how to interpret our 'no'.), lot of duplicated positions and infrastructure, and offshore people were treated poorly, so high turnover (4 month on average) on a difficult stack.

Recruitment also left a lot to be desired, or was downright awful, but in the onshore pure dev teams we also had idiots who couldn't read or even open a log file, so it might have been a global issue.

The same sort of person who would sign a contract agreeing that in order to take advantage of their options, they need to sign a contract with unclear terms at some point in the future if they leave the company.

Bear in mind there are actually three options, one is signing the second contract, one is not signing, and the other is remaining an employee.
A bit off-topic, but what's the best method to build cross-platform mobile & web apps nowadays ? I'm talking either business logic + UI , or just business logic ?

like gomobile, rust, typescript, etc ?

At some point i thought about using typescript for all business logic, as it seemed the most portable tech, but i realized there's no good way to have decent performance running javascript on iOS.
They did. Google's one is called Gmail, and Microsoft's one is called Outlook 365. They each want you to use their product and offer you improved service if you only use their product and talk to other people who are using their product. But Apple got the best lock-in with iMessage.

Not so may people want "AI art" (branded as such). But a good chunk people use generative image model to "commission" works that they are interested in - but would be to expensive to get a human artist to do it. There are many niches/subcultures where this is popular, from anime to cyberpunk, to fantasy, computer games, role playing games, etc.

It might be that there is general appeal to be found in images created with AI tool (by a human tool-wielder, the actual artist). But people want to buy art from human artists, have a back story - for there to be a "meaning" - a why. Some initial research:

Probably not deliberate, but this guy has absolutely no business being in leadership.

- he didn't make sure somebody helped the new team members build and run the project

- he didn't make sure somebody took the new guys through their first PR

- he bragged about the project being nonstandard and complicated and was delighted when the new guys couldn't just figure it out

- he decided his own opinions and goals are more important than his employers' but still took their money

- then he bragged about all of this on the internet as if he was some big hero that saved the job market

1. If he didn't turn down the money, you wouldn't have heard of him at all;

2. You're not the intended audience of Grigory's message, nor are you in position to influence, change, or address the problems he was highlighting. The people who are heard the message loud and clear.

3. On a very basic level, it's very easy to understand that there's gotta be something wrong with the award if a deserving recipient turns it down. What exactly is wrong is left as an exercise to the reader — as you'd expect of a mathematician like Perelman.

Quote (from [1]):

From the few public statements made by Perelman and close colleagues, it seems he had become disillusioned with the entire field of mathematics. He was the purest of the purists, consumed with his love for mathematics, and completely uninterested in academic politics, with its relentless jockeying for position and squabbling over credit. He denounced most of his colleagues as conformists. When he opted to quit professional mathematics altogether, he offered this confusing rationale: “As long as I was not conspicuous, I had a choice. Either to make some ugly thing or, if I didn’t do this kind of thing, to be treated as a pet. Now when I become a very conspicuous person, I cannot stay a pet and say nothing. That is why I had to quit.”*

This explanation is confusing only to someone who has never tried to get a tenured position in academia.

Perelman was one of the few people to not only give the finger to the soul-crushing, dehumanizing system, but to also call it out in a way that stung.

He wasn't the only one; but the only other person I can think of is Alexander Grothendiek [2], who went as far as declaring that publishing any of his work would be against his will.

Incidentally, both are of Russian-Jewish origin/roots, and almost certainly autistic.

I find their views very understandable and relatable, but then again, I'm also an autistic Jew from Odessa with a math PhD who left academia (the list of similarities ends there, sadly).

I haven't seen any evidence of over-fitting in the sense of the model getting worse on new examples. Conversely, it seems that we're gradually fitting the models on more and more types of coding questions, such that it's gradually becoming more and more difficult to find well-defined problems that humans can solve easily but AIs cannot.

Please read carefully if you already share a BILD article. While they claim, that the forest is 200km² big and that it will be completely cut down, there is no actual basis to that. The official documents for that wind park talk about cutting down 29Ha, which would be 0.29km². And not all of that is permanent, some is temporary for access and construction. The permanently cut down area would be about 13.1Ha. None of that is in the actual old growth of the forest. So we are talking about 0.15% or so of the whole area of the forest! You can find more info about this here: https://rp-kassel.hessen.de/sites/rp-kassel.hessen.de/files/...

Now, if you tell me that no tree should be cut down for wind energy, then may I point out that from 2018 to 2021 we lost about 250000Ha of forest to climate change and drought (https://www.scinexx.de/news/biowissen/karte-zeigt-waldverlus...). That is 10 times the size of the forest you were so concerned about. Some sources even talk about 500000Ha if you include 2021 (https://www.geo.de/natur/oekologie/alarmierend--5-prozent-de...). We do need to transition to be carbon neutral to have any chance of stopping that. Cutting down less than a percent of trees for energy production while we have already lost several times that to climate change is not great, but it is much better than continuing to burn fossil fuels to kill the rest of the forests as well. There are no viable alternatives to become carbon neutral in the time frame we have left to my knowledge, so I would agree with the quote.

So please don't ever, ever quote BILD for facts. They have an intentional agenda to mislead people and they either conveniently twist the truth or just make up stuff. Unless you are able to distinguish that, it is best to not read it at all.

Not that I disagree, but what's intelligence? How does our intelligence work? If we don't know that, how can we be so sure what does and what doesn't lead to intelligence? A little more humility is on order before whipping out the tired "LLMs are just stochastic parrots" argument.

The original stock and vesting agreement that was part of their original compensation probably says that you have to be currently employed by OpenAI for the vesting schedule to apply. So in that case the consideration of this new agreement is that they get to keep their vesting schedule running even though they are no longer employees.

Deepfake sounds a lot more serious than photoshopping a face onto a picture. The case does not give details on what "nude bodies" means but I sure hope it was known CSAM otherwise this sets a ridiculous precedent with image generation.

Were they focusing on the intent, or the "I know it when I see it" definition because there is a reason you sometimes have to add to the negative prompts of these models because you never know what you are going to get. Does this mean that someone running a long batch of images may accidentally get something that can land him in jail?.
You can take small snippets, but not the whole page. But why do you want to release someone else work publicly!? Just save it on your own device if you find it useful.
We use Tauri, but I think that it’s important to know that we solely use it for internal tools. I have no idea if it’s a good tool for consumer facing products. It works well enough for what we use it for, which is mostly for our solar park technicians where using cross platform Typescript on terrible internet became too much work for our small team.
If everyone fake, no one can. Maybe it will sabotage video as viable evidence and eliminate the surveillance apparatchik of cameras everywhere as useful in proving anything.
Well, there already are other, operational space planes besides the X-37B. Namely the Shenlong[1] (3 success full missions) and the CSSHQ[2], the later being currently in orbit (3rd mission, launched in December 2023).

But we don't know that much about those either, as they are kept in just as much secrecy as the X-37B.

"""
You might be thinking that it would be more usual to have an ops.Add(ColorOp{Color: red}) method instead of using op.ColorOp{Color: red}.Add(ops). It’s like this so that the Add method doesn’t have to take an interface-typed argument, which would often require an allocation to call. This is a key aspect of Gio’s “zero allocation” design.

Other than an incredible amount of cynicism, does this author offer a single objective fact or 3rd party source to support his argument?

The argument that he's trying to make is that AI is overhyped, but his conclusion is that it's nearly worthless. This is a non sequitur.

He's cynical last years announcements of new discoveries AI models aren't immediately useful. But he's completely ignoring the acceleration and advances of these announcements. He's relying on the matter that hallucinations exist, but he's ignoring the dramatic reductions in error rates across models every 6 months.

He's ignoring that his very industry of writing has been completely changed, and the irony is editing will almost never be done without an AI model again. How many other industries are seeing the same impact (design, project management, software engineering, digital creatives,...).
