There are many zillions of defense contractors. Most of them are nonessential, small, or generic suppliers that are ordinary companies. A "strategic" defense contractor is a much smaller subset of large corporations or sole-source providers of resources or critical subsystems deemed "essential", and so they are given more favorable deals, privileges, and shown direct and indirect political and economic favoritism at the legislative- and executive-branch levels. This allows them to get away with much larger incidents of malfeasance and crime that other companies and individuals would be prosecuted for. (MCAS took 2 planes to crash. 737 NG structural deficiencies post MD merger were never adequately addressed. The 787 has been riddled with problems.)

I remember Muse. I checked out a lot of these "tools for thought" at that time because the pandemic slammed me with way more work than I could possibly hope to get done. Can't say I looked at it very long, and it's not surprising that it didn't catch on. Reasons:

Pricing: It was a subscription for $100/year or something. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but see the next point. You can indeed set your price too high.

Limited functionality: AFAICT it was a pretty small part of the problem for most people. It's sort of like an Obsidian extension in terms of what it brought to the table.

Stuck in the Apple ecosystem: A lot of software developers fool themselves into thinking everyone uses Apple. You're throwing away most of the market when you do this, even if it's what you want to do.

> Muse got there for a few thousand people, but the economics of prosumer software means that just isn’t enough. You need tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, to make the cost of development sustainable.

Then don't throw away most of the market by creating a product for the folks in your bubble.

I think desktop alternatives like Wacom tablets or studio DAC equipment are far more useful for professionals and I doubt there’s anything specific to the iPad that would make it a better alternative than a desktop.
There was a point in time, if you had a popular windows app, Microsoft would build their own version of it and ship it to the masses.

LMMs trained on ungodly amounts of internet and private data could be that.

You and I should be worried. It’s a dog eat dog world out there.

A definition of AGI is “do what humans do”. Better, faster, cheaper.

Best course of humanity is that this takes a few decades to be as good as humans. If it’s rapid, it’s going to be very disruptive.

Meta and RayBan are working on that and not far: the RayBans "Meta take a picture" / "Meta take a movie" are a thing. And I doubt very much that it's done with good motives.

No HUD yet but they've already got a microphone to analyze your voice (for good reasons, we're sure) and speakers.

What you really need to do is schedule daily status meetings, a longer weekly status meeting, and -- this is the real velocity trick -- monthly OKR reviews as well as quarterly slide presentations.

It's important the slide deck be polished for all the people who want to come learn about the project, so it makes sense to spend at least a month preparing it.

And the neat thing is that all this work will get you lots of suggestions from executives about how you could address all the velocity issues that your project seems to have all the time! So you'd better budget 2-4 weeks after the presentation to follow up, have stakeholder meetings, and make sure everyone really feels heard.

With just these few simple techniques, you too can get your engineers moving at the blinding speed of an average FAANG engineering team.
The auto-complete on Google often has "reddit" at the end of the query. It usually is the most reliable result from a query.
The vast majority of philosophers don't believe in moral relativism. It's actually usually the amateurs early mistake and you can read alot of the critique of it easily online.
The build process is open source, as are any adapters we use to help align vanilla code to best practices. Some stuff is magic (e.g. the FIREBASE_CONFIG env being automatically injected), but I’d hardly call that a risk of lock-in.

Wrong leadership at every level: Sundar as CEO, Prabhakar as Search SVP, Sissie as Assistant/Gemini VP. Maybe they should hire Ilya instead?
Perhaps it would be useless directly. But perhaps something similar could be used to encourage landlords of under-utilized commercial/residential/industrial space to instead repurpose them as housing, co-working, event spaces, or other uses rather than sitting on massive empty inventories while homeless people and the working poor go without.
Or GPT-5 went rogue, took out the senior staff, and is running the game now, Westworld style.
Great article that covers some fantastic examples of sun-based time. If you want to read about two more, Seiko has a great article [1] about a traditional Japanese clock (Wadokei) which had moving indices based on the seasons.

The local time we keep today is supremely useful for global synchronization, but is disconnected from the natural world. I came across this example (Wadokei) after making an app for myself to track the moon above and below the horizon and doing some research after creating a similar style clock which uses the sun as the anchor of the clock (high noon is the top of the clock, instead of 12 noon). This one is a full-day clock that shows the hours of the “local time” day as well as the positioning of the sun and moon. The hours shift dramatically during the peak of summer and depths of winter, especially at extreme latitudes [2]. You can really get a sense of the length of the daylight and how it changes by using any of these sun-based clocks.

I mean, presumably the tax would be passed on in the rent, and so they wouldn't lease the land as it would cost more.
I don't kernel, but:

Empty structures are useful, but behave weirdly. Structures containing a zero-size `char` array are much more portable.

Although `__builtin_choose_expr` isn't available in C++, it's trivial to implement using templates. Actually a lot of these are a reminder that GNU C exists for people who refuse to use C++ for political reasons.

`__builtin_types_compatible_p` is mostly not needed now that C11 `_Generic` exists.
I've got some weird plans for variants. Basically, we'd represent an enum as a non-heap-allocated sealed interface with a struct for each "case". Basically, think of a Scala case class. Then, depending on where we put it (heap vs local/member/element), it will be compiled differently (a traditional interface vs a tagged variant, respectively). ...I don't expect that to make any sense.

Alas, I haven't started on sealed interfaces yet. Right now I'm occupied with the Rust interop; I'm hoping we can be able to seamlessly e.g. `import rust.std.collections.Vec<i32>;` and have it work. A lot of pieces have to fall into place for that to work though, especially since that's generic and Rust doesn't even have a stable ABI. It's kicking my ass, and I'm having a lot of fun with it!
I wonder if he thinks LLMs are an AGI dead end and he's not interested in selling a product. There's some academic papers floating around coming to the same conclusion (no links. sorry, studying for a cert exam).
A bit pedantic but burning is a chemical reaction, and redox reactions are redox reactions no matter where they're happening.

Also, substances like ethanol and acetic acid are not digested, they pretty much just go straight into the bloodstream. There is a limit on how much e.g. ethanol the liver can process per hour, which does put a cap on how many of ethanol's calories are released as ATP + body heat. Acetic acid is a normal temporary metabolite though and so its consumption is much more complete (it gets used by cells all over).
It refers to images, but would that extend to diagrams, like engineering drawings?

It's actually not a lot of work and very rewarding to write a proof-checker that uses this principle.
Any node app works if you have a build and start script. Being a “supported” framework is a lot more about forward looking commitments that we’ll understand your site’s configuration and translate it to our native output rather than asking you to do it “our way” (e.g. redirects that never have to hit your backend)

IMO this holds Firefox to an impossible standard; it is vanishingly unlikely that Safari doesn’t perform this same type of user research and data collection, for search utilization wrt their relationship with Google and for other features of the browser. Your point about being surprised by this is certainly valid, if this is indeed opt-out/in by default.
> a once great company doing real innovation turned into a financial engineering instrument to funnel wealth upwards

That is a failure of the government. On one hand the government should not have allowed Boeing to become the gigantic monopolistic manufacturer that it has become after lots of mergers, including the famed one with McDonnell Douglass. That's a failure of the FTC. Once Boeing became a monopoly, it felt much less the invisible hand of the market, and it could afford to shift its attention from engineering excellence to milking the brand. That's where the FAA should have been a hawk, and it was not. After the 737-Max grounding, Congress got involved, and their report [1] looks quite thorough. I find this paragraph quite telling:

> Despite the sweeping and substantive problems that have been identified by this Committee’s investigation as well as various other investigations, both Boeing and the FAA have suggested that the certification of the 737 MAX was compliant with FAA regulations. The fact that a compliant airplane suffered from two deadly crashes in less than five months is clear evidence that the current regulatory system is fundamentally flawed and needs to be repaired.

We don't need self-hosted alternatives (just like the computer market doesn't need Linux tinkerers) as much as we need a real formidable competitor to dethrone Google and create proper website incentives so the Internet stops sucking.

We need SEO companies to realize they will go out of business if they continue to generate crap filler content for their clients.

We know Google won't do it. We need influence. We need effective results.

Self-hosted is cute but ineffective at best, selfish at worst.
>Layman here, but what you describe sounds very much like innovation held back by patents

It's not patents, it's economy of scale: LCDs ship billions per quarter and are used in phones/watches/laptops/PC monitors/TVs/car-dashes/coffee-machines/fridges/kiosks/etc etc etc, whereas e-ink screens are used in e-readers, supermarket tags, e-notes (stylus tablets), and basically nothing else.

When LCDs ship orders of magnitude more SKUs, they inevitably have lower costs. That's just economics.

Besides which, Amazon ships Kindles at-cost, there's no way they'd be price-gouged - if E-Ink tried to screw them then they'd buy E-Ink Corp. It wouldn't even be the first passive display company they bought. See: LiquaVista.

>Could you share more detailed what those hard limitations might be?

The ink in the e-ink needs to be shuffled up and down with each refresh, but if they're pushed too quickly then they pound the capsule they're in and damage it, or get permanently stuck. Either will break the display. And it's powder not a solid object, so the display needs to move all the ink, down, or you'll have ghosting.
...and there is precisely shag-all discussion of fiscal sanity since the Tea Party uprising some 15 years ago.

Congress is as useful as a tattered prophylactic when it comes to pretty much anything, but especially its job of budgeting.

Would that some of the Sustainability Chorus could shift fire to pressing near-term issues.
Almost convincing, except there's no animal composition (beyond gut microbes)! You can't stick 2 animals that each evolved 1 thing together.
It depends on how many times it had seen that text during training. For example, GPT-4 can reproduce ayats from the Quran word for word in both Arabic and English. It can also reproduce the Navy SEAL copypasta complete with all the typos.
+1 for Lyn Alden. Her book, "Broken Money", significantly impacted me as a layman to economics (which is more pseudoscience than science).

Well it might be in the best (long-term) interests of humanity to have autonomous flying killer robots powered by OpenAI secret military contracting work cut the human population in half, in the name of the long-term ecological health of the planet, and to cull those not smart or fast enough to run away, thus improving the breeding stock.

That's why I don't trust people who run around claiming to be serving the best interests of humanity - glassy-eyed futurists with all the answers should be approached with caution.

My friend renewed his Oregon driver's license last year. There was no pressure or push towards a REAL ID. He does not have a passport.

I got a California REAL ID a few years ago, at my normal renewal time, for a few reasons:

1. I already had all of the necessary paperwork.

2. I was curious if the process would be very different (it took a ~5 minutes longer than a non-REAL ID, but that was it).

3. I thought it would count as a List A document on the Form I-9 (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-9...)

On that last point, I was wrong: For the Form I-9, a REAL ID counts the same as a driver's license. Turns out, I'm not the only one who thought this (https://sdeahr.org/hr-blog/how-does-real-id-affect-employee-...).

As a result, I'm no longer in support of the REAL ID.
I believe such devices still work in some places. Illegal to use, but that's only a problem if you get caught....
I don't know why they pay so much attention to when things were made, and no attention to the microarchitecture, which they so often like to analyse.

The EM-RV1 (which is made up of Sipeed LicheePi 4A Clusters) uses 1.85 GHz THead C910 cores, with similar uarch to the Arm A72 (used in the first Amazon Graviton servers) or to something maybe early low end Core 2 e.g. in the first MacBook Air.

OF COURSE if all you want is the maximum performance and the ISA doesn't matter then you're much better off using something else for now.

But if you specifically want run RISC-V code, for example to get your software ready for the coming much faster RISC-V machines, then this is a good way to do it, without having to spend $180 up front for the equivalent SBC.

RISC-V machines with cores 1.3x faster will be out in a few months, and 2x faster around the end of the year. By around 2026 there will be RISC-V around Zen2 or Apple M1 performance. This is all in the pipeline.
The first thing I will do when I get access to this is ask it to generate a realistic chess board. I have never gotten a decent looking chessboard with any image generator that doesn't have deformed pieces, the correct number of squares, squares properly in a checkerboard pattern, pieces placed in the correct position, board oriented properly (white on the right!) and not an otherwise illegal position. It seems to be an "AI complete" problem.
Is Google significantly behind? I would say from a technological perspective, they're very closely trailing or even surpassing OpenAI in many ways; they've built a formidable ChatGPT competitor in Gemini—not to mention they have a huge home court advantage with billions of people on Search, Chrome, Android, and G Suite. If you zoom out a bit, it's not really a fair fight between the two. More likely, Apple and Microsoft win against Google because they use/buy OpenAI.

I wonder if there is some way to have an AI help humans improve their "reading comprehension" aka reasoning across a large body of text. As far as I can tell the only way to do this is to cut out mindless scrolling and force yourself to read a lot of books in the hopes that this skill might be improved.

I am many years out of my grade school years where I was required to read a multitude of novels every year and I guess years of mindless reddit scrolling + focusing on nothing but mathematics and the sciences in college have taken their toll: I read long articles or books but completely miss the deeper meaning.

As an example: my nerd like obsession with random topics of the decade before I was born (until I get bored) caused me to read numerous articles and all of Wikipedia + sources on the RBMK reactors and Chernobyl nuclear accident as well as the stories of the people involved.

But it wasn't until I sat down and watched that famous HBO mini seres that I finally connected the dots of how the lies and secretive nature of the soviet system led to the design flaws in the reactor, and the subsequent suicide of Valery Legasov helped finally expose them to the world where they could no longer be hidden.

Its like I knew of all these events and people separately but could not connect them together to form a deep realization and when I saw it acted out on screen it all finally hit me like a ton of bricks. How had I not seen it?

Hoping one day AI can just scan my existing brain structure and recommend activities to change the neuronal makeup to what I want it to be. Or even better since im a lazy developer, it should just do it for me.
