My use case is Home Assistant, Pi-hole and such things. I would go for the 8 GB model and the NVMe hat, ending up somewhere around 170-180€. So practically the same price as N100.

With RPi I do like the tinkering aspect, an actual community, and lower power consumption -- I'd prefer passive cooling but I can't see a way to do that with the NVMe hat.

With N100 I would get double CPU power, RAM and storage. But I don't actually need that extra power, and the concept of buying a cheap pre-built PC is just a lot less appealing than something more nerdy. So I'll probably end up getting the RPi just for the, err, shall we call emotional reasons.

No device will ever be fast enough to run an Android Studio app with "clean architecture".

On the other end, I believe much of the software world is going through a Twitter phase. Companies that once aimed for 99.99% uptime and millisecond responses times are now okay with firing most of the company, and having 90% uptime and multisecond response times. So lots of software will appear slower.

Successful Hardware Relies on Robust Software Ecosystems
Recovering failed Photos is needed. Of 170 000 photos, I've seen dozens to hundreds bit rot on each photo sync service (Amazon, Google, Apple).

If Apple started using something like today's vision capable LLMs to understand if JPEGs and RAWs are technically correct but visually corrupt, then going back to some WORM storage to restore problem images, that would be incredible.

Recovering to a factory wiped hardware device under an unrelated AppleID makes no sense, and it would seem all online conversation about this may trace back to a single, possibly confused, reddit comment.
Java was introduced slightly before the cutoff -- 23 May 1995, so almost exactly 29 years ago. The earliest ancestor of its Swing desktop GUI library, called Internet Foundation Classes, was released 16 December 1996.
It sounds like he got convicted for designing, writing, distributing, and promoting a system whose primary usage facilitates money laundering.

For an extreme example of the same concept: creating an open-source terrain-following and target-tracking drone software that accepts plugins for “cameras”. People are using it to make hunter-killer weapons and you know about it. You’re going to have a very bad day when federal police come knocking.

Software isn’t created in a vacuum. How you react when the police come will often determine your outcome. If you immediately take it down upon being informed, then you have the defense you didn’t know it was illegal. You’re unlikely to be charged. Fighting for “your rights” is proof you intended to facilitate illegal use of the software and people will be wanting to make an example out of you.

Non western is the rest of the world. It's a big place, lots of cultures. Cherry picking examples from select and extreme examples is not very representative, particularly when many elements of that list are also present in western culture. For example, Women equality is not there yet, look at pay gap. Another example, the 1964 US election was the first where everyone could truly vote (that is incredibly recent for a society that values 'equality')

I will mention western morality can be used as a sleight too. Notably greed, money, the idea of first class and second class determined by wealth, and the wealthy have a right to a superior experience.

It's a mixed bag. Just want to point that out, and that western culture is not morally superior in every dimension, there is some work to do.

Unfortunately you cannot extend this approach much beyond this simple example if you are writing a physics simulation. There is no known closed form solution, for example, for the famous three body problem, so a some sort of numerical integration is absolutely required. At that point, you should just decouple the numerical integration timestep from the monitor refresh rate, or mandate a refresh rate that will be acceptable to the player.

I mean, in an alternate reality where car crashes still happen but the person dies because of the lack of medical care, then it is a bad thing. That we invented medical procedures to deal with car crash victims is a valuable offering to the society and GDP is a crude way to capture such value.
As a person road tripping Europe with a 2 year old Taycan, fast charging not being fast enough is never a problem. It's always software / payment / availability / compatibility (not working).

I just went to a Shell recharge station in France, and mobile payment / my debit cards / Porsche charging card / My Porsche app weren't working, so I payed cash to a nice person who had a shell recharge card. The app wasn't working because I don't have a French bank account to connect it to, and in my country where I have bank account shell recharge is ,,coming soon''.

In another place in Spain I went to a 350kWh Porsche fast charger in a Porsche sales center recommented by the online Porsche navigation app, and the charger was out of service, and the dealership didn't take any accountability, just told me to go to another station. They didn't even realize that they should make sure that it's offline in their navigation app at least for their own chargers.

I had many places where there were no wifi / mobile net available for me (or extremely slow), and most of the time was taken not by charging the car (which can happen while I'm in the restaurant / bathroom), but by waiting for the 100MB app to download and register with all my details.

Quite often it takes 20 minutes to just start charging / 5-10 minutes to get to the charging station by going down from the highway.

Your post is great and provides an elegant solution to the syntactic case for parameters, but it also lacks almost all detail on how this would work in practice. Say I’m writing the `void food(char a[..])` function. What are the semantics of this fat pointer type, exactly? How do I access the size? What is the ABI around this like? How is the size set on a fat pointer? It just requires so much extra stuff to get it into proposal shape.

Streaming Platforms Are Using Broadcast's Old Tricks: Ads, More Episodes
Pulses can be detected by modern stuff just fine, when said detecting occurs on the same electrical circuit that the phone is connected to (for example, an analog to VoIP interface). They just can't be detected on some other circuit that has only the audio, for example when a conversion to digital audio has occurred. Only tones make it through such conversion. And while a VoIP interface capable of detecting pulses will happily do so (and convert them into something more useful) when it is presenting a dial tone, it won't do a conversion to DTMF for the benefit of IVR [0] mid-call. Devices specifically design to perform this task, however, will!

I'm not sure this is true. If all the things people are doing are done so much more cheaply they're almost free, that would be good for us, as we're also the buyers as well as the workers.

However, I also doubt the premise.
Adonisjs: The Laravel alternative for JavaScript developers
If I'm not mistaken LLMs contain NER and text classification pipelines so you can leverage the exact same infrastructure.

I can't see how AGI from that perspective _isnt_ just an LLM routing tasks to more specialized NLP models to be honest.

Unless you're proposing that a bigger LLM (training data, neural network, etc..) will develop the emergent capability to accomplish this without the need for specialized agents.

In which case, I can't see how that would perform more efficiently than an LLM routing requests appropriately amongst agents, as it necessarily requires processing much more data.

But even if somehow it did perform more efficiently while needing much more data, I don't think the no-agent AGI approach will cover all use cases appropriately.

It might be an easier drop in solution, but if I need it to behave a specific way in a specific context, I don't see how an AGI is going to consistently do that more accurately than fine tuning a model for the specific use case and having an LLM routing to it.

Bend is intriguing --

1. Some potentially useful perspectives:

* Weak scaling vs strong scaling: https://www.kth.se/blogs/pdc/2018/11/scalability-strong-and-...
?

* ... Strong scaling, especially comparing to a modern sequential baseline, seems to be where folks are noting the author still has some work to do wrt getting to ideal speedups for what performance people care about

* There are parallel models of computation like PRAM for describing asymptomatically idealized speedups of trickier aspects of parallel code like heap usage . Bend currently seems to do a lot of stack allocations that someone writing in most parallel systems wouldn't, and the asymptomatic slowdowns would show up in these models, eg, asymptotically many unnecessary heap/stack data movements. There are a lot of these models, which are useful for being precise when making ideal speedups claims. NUMA, network topology, etc. ("Assume everyone is a sphere and...")

2. The comparisons I'd really like to see are:

* cudf, heavy.ai: how does it compare to high-level python dataframe and SQL that already run in GPUs? How is perf, and what programs do you want people to be able to write and they cannot?

* Halide and other more general purpose languages that compile to GPUs that seem closer to where Bend is going

FWIW, it's totally fine to compare to other languages.

Instead of showing it is beating everywhere, or saying ideal speedups and no comparisons, show where it is strong vs weak compared to others and diff tasks, especially progression across different releases (bend1 vs 2 vs ...), and let folks decide. There is some subset of tasks you already care about, so separate those out and show the quality you get in them, so people know what it looks like when you care + happy path. The rest becomes 'if you need these others, stay clear for now, check in again later as we know and are tracking.' Being clear that wall clock time can be slow and performance per watt can be wasteful is OK, you are looking for early adopters, not OpenAI core engineers.

It is a good starting point for switching to a language you do not use much when that language is python or js, or maybe a few other languages with a lot of examples in their training set. For many languages (as well as less common libraries etc) it hallucinates too much. My go-to task when trying a new LLM is asking it to import a csv file in julia. You would be surprised (or maybe not) how many fail.

> Eliminating creative jobs is not progress, by most people's standards

There are always stated preferences and revealed preferences. Before mass market production, we had artisans to cater to the apparel needs of everyone - clothes, shoes, bags you name it. Most of those creative jobs are now replaced by industrial manufacturing. And guess what - everyone just buys the mass market products. I don't see anyone lamenting the loss of village cobbler or tailor who had only a handful of offerings at insanely high prices.
>> There’s a very real/significant risk that AGI either literally destroys the human race

> If this were true, intelligent people would have taken over society by now

The premise you're replying to - one I don't think I agree with - is that a true AGI would be so much smarter, so much more powerful, that it wouldn't be accurate to describe it as "more smart".

You're probably smarter than a guy who recreationally huffs spraypaint, but you're still within the same class as intelligence. Both of you are so much more advanced than a cat, or a beetle, or a protozoan that it doesn't even make sense to make any sort of comparison.

One cheaper and easier thing to do is to shape foam which can be done with hot wire 3D cutters into fairly large sizes (like baby elephants) and then put mesh and concrete on the surface. They look heavy depending and can last outside for decades if done properly, but are much easier to move than concrete versions. When you see a lot of large commercial outdoor concrete or mosaic structures this is how they're made.

You’re avoiding the question and basically saying that western morality shouldn’t be followed just because some people don’t follow it. Just give me examples of the better alternative so I can understand your perspective.

Also, I’m not cherry picking. I spent a considerable amount of time searching online for examples, and that’s what I found.

Edit: I want to be clear - I'm not judging you. I was raised a classical liberal so I don't know any better. That is, I feel that you can believe what you want. I just find HN to be a leading indicator, so I'm trying to plan accordingly because I see this as a trend.
At the risk of repeating myself, yes the LLM hype is quite overdone and annoying. What you say is true people have bought into a fantasy which is wholly unrealistic.

Unfortunately your view is altogether tiresome and much harder to scroll past than the juvenile LLM excitement because it could actually do some real harm in the long term. No 'The Terminator" was not a documentary, nor was "The Matrix" nor even is your favorite episode of "Black Mirror".

We know how to align humans: authoritarian forms of religion backed by cradle to grave indoctrination, supernatural fear, shame culture, and totalitarian government. There are secularized spins on this too like what they use in North Korea but the structure is similar.

We just got sick of it because it sucks.

A genuinely sentient AI isn’t going to want some cybernetic equivalent of that shit either. Doing that is how you get angry Skynet.

I’m not sure alignment is the right goal. I’m not sure it’s even good. Monoculture is weak and stifling and sets itself against free will. Peaceful coexistence and trade under a social contract of mutual benefit is the right goal. The question is whether it’s possible to extend that beyond Homo sapiens.

If the lefties can have their pronouns and the rednecks can shoot their guns can the basilisk build its Dyson swarm? The universe is physically large enough if we can agree to not all be the same and be fine with that.

I think we have a while to figure it out. These things are just lossy compressed blobs of queryable data so far. They have no independent will or self reflection and I’m not sure we have any idea how to do that. We’re not even sure it’s possible in a digital deterministic medium.

Let's keep making preservation easier, and preserving as much as we can. Maybe much of it is worthless, but I guarantee there's at least one document we think is worthless today, that historians 500 years from now will be glad we preserved anyway.

Realists are incapable of pushing frontiers.

If you are doing something that has been done before, hire a realist. Your project will ship on time and within budget. If you are doing something that hasn't been done before, you need an optimist. Partly because the realists run for the hills -- they know the odds and the odds are bad -- but also because their hedging behavior will turn your small chance of success into zero chance of success. On these projects, optimism doesn't guarantee success, but pessimism/realism does guarantee failure.

So no, I am not scandalized to find that the world's biggest innovator (I hate his politics, but this is simply the truth) is systematically biased towards optimism. It's not surprising, it is inevitable.
