from what i see you have to guess a word from the list given

yellow squares are how many tries you have

as you put a word in, it will get added to the list of guesses

the closer words are at the bottom (thanks @ukv)
so the goal is to extrapolate, eg is it an animal name, or an object? based on the order of your previous tries.

the font-size thing is a complete misnomer as its not really perceptible. but the insert location for guesses is more useful (but not documented)

there may be sort algorithm strategies for playing this, eg try two most distant words first... but the nature of the multi-dimensional word-distance being flattened to a single dimension makes it really hard to guess, imho.

when you get it right it deletes all word context and history.

interesting idea but a front-end dev could help make it playable!

Why?

By way of junk food (sweetened drinks are junk, boxed cookies are junk). Added sugar is one way to facilitate consumption of excess calories, the other is flour + added fat + salt, absent fiber and protein. (and also deep frying).

This article seems to be about inciting class warfare without considering facts. I can't afford to live where I grew up, a barely middle-class area, without making $400k/year. Something is very wrong if most Googlers can't afford that and there are a smaller subset of people with extreme wealth being created or moving in who caused absurd gentrification.

The only thing missing from the article is what would be a good response to this policy.

Tariffs seem like a very suboptimal solution. It seems highly unlikely that manufacturing at the scale needed to replace China is possible domestically. There’s simply not enough people that can run the factories required to service demand. Perhaps the manufacturing base will shift to eg India, but the de-industrialization of the US will continue.

It boggles my mind why the US is doing this. Targeted sanctions on cutting edge technologies seems fine, but Steel tariffs? Come on. American retailers are going to jack up prices, American consumers will get squeezed more than ever before and high inflation is only going to cause more instability.

The US seems intent on accelerating its demise.

Invest into what in other countries? Companies? Land?

Does that really work? Can you enslave the world by buying other countries? Like "Ha, Italy, you work for us now because we own all your infrastructure!"? Wouldn't Italy just tell them to GFYS at some point, if China stops sending goods or US Dollar and just wants to get stuff for free?
Unreal Engine does unity builds quite well - it will, as part of a prebuild step:

1. Merge related cpp and h files together in groups into monolith files, usually in the order of 10-20 source files merged based on my observations - often entire modules will be grouped together.
2. Exclude any individual files from the monolith that have edits since the last change.

It's a nice middle ground, you don't substantially slow down your incremental builds since the files you're editing are still compiled individually, plus you get a fairly substantial improvement in build times.

It's nice in that you can still structure your source in separate cpp/h files will little extra consideration for the unity builds and it mostly "just works" in both unity mode and with regular builds.

Unfortunately you occasionally do have issues with builds that work in unity but not in individual compilation or vice versa (usually due to arcane #include dependency chains) but they're usually easy to fix.

Well, we do know that they could have been paid more because of all the collusion between tech companies to keep wages lower.
I might sound shallow or incognizant for saying this, but any time I see traces of Chinese in a product, my radars alert "Stay away from this." Maybe it's because of the constant worry about them spying on western users. And maybe it's because I am not exposed to high quality software from that part of the world yet.

I see this a lot in LLMs too. So many Chinese companies trying to game the benchmarks to show higher in the leaderboards without the fear of any backlash. Is it really a skewed perception of how software works in China, or is it really the case that their culture encourages finding shortcuts to success at all costs?
It's all the more surprising from China, right? We frequently hear of the struggle that people have to go through for - generally - "presenting grievances" of all kinds. It's possible that in some cases "nail houses" are allowed to survive and in other case not. China is a big place. Anyone with more view into this?

And to be fair, some of this tolerance seems to me more than a little "passive aggressive" like building the street expressly so that this house blocks it. or leaving the house in the middle of a highway.
How is correctness guaranteed? The model has no understanding, just a statistical analysis.

> "An investor deserves to make their money back"

Few sentiments make my blood boil more than this. No, you are absolutely not entitled to a return on your investment, or even to recoop your investment. That's why it's called an investment, not 'arbitrage'.

If you're trying to force the working class to pay for your ill advised, failed investments, you're an economic cancer in the sense that your existence is detrimental to the health of the greater system, you contribute negative value, and the greater system would be better off if you ceased to exist. Also, like cancer, if this is permitted to happen, the ideology will spread and further reduce the health and capabilities of the greater system.

> "And there is real money at stake."

Once again, ugh. No, there wasn't. This Gordon dude was one of the guys artificially inflating the cost of housing by irresponsibly lending to otherwise unqualified people. That's why it was called the 'housing bubble', exactly because the inflated value of mortgages at the time was divorced from reality.

What an unethical snake. We'd be better off if all these degenerate gamblers on wall street were to go back to Vegas like the old days.

According to my friendly AI assistant...

- A quarter gram of meth typically costs around $25. [1]

- A meth user consuming a quarter gram of meth daily would spend around $9,125 per year on the drug. [1]

It seems like the savings from not buying meth every day would be significantly more than what California is paying... which makes me question why pay at all? I get that additional isn't exactly a logic problem, but needing to get paid $599 to save $9,125 doesn't compute in my head if money is the motivator.

What you described is Google breaking your code constantly but also giving you a tool to automatically fix the code they broke, so it fits well within the general philosophy of not taking breaking changes seriously.

It sounds like the tool might make the specific case of flutter version upgrades easier though, if the tool works well, so that's nice. Most Google software doesn't come with similar tools.
Early 2000's, we'd regularly play organized games of CtF upon the capitol grounds — it was incredibly entertaining, even if you weren't actually playing very much (became sort of a HS social / mixer). Typically only a few dozen serious players, but often 100+ participants.

I understand that this report is not really about AGI, but I would like to again raise my main concern: I am much more worried about the implications of the real threat of dumb humans using dumb "AI" in the near-term, than I am about the theoretical threat of AGI.

because money and leverage.

they make it hard to import into china but easy to export and manipulate their own currency to make manufacturing in their country cheaper than domestic so multinationals will move manufacturing to china.

now no country pushes back on anything they do because it would interrupt the flow of cheap goods. we let them take Tibet, suffocate free speech and democracy in Hong Kong, they are stealing land in Butan and India, they are invading the protected waters of their neighbors in the south china seas, and are threatening to take Taiwan. but we keep shoveling them money and appeasing them because we want cheap shit

If we take this to the extreme, user interfaces are going to be generated on the fly, specific for the user. They will adapt to the user based on the device they are using, time of day, what data is being displayed, what the user prefers, etc.

These large models generating views might be streamed from servers (ala stadia), it might pass off some of the work to edge devices.

The models will be able to store things and communicate with other models as needed. Models might spin up that perform certain things well and have access to specific resources.

Linux still has pretty sketchy HiDPI support. It's marginally better on Wayland than X, but then you can kiss NVidia (and CUDA) good-bye.

You can get it relatively consistent, but will still end up with a few older applications rendering at native resolutions (sometimes partially, where the text is fine but icons are too small).

Most distributions also don't offer any universal way of configuring DPI scaling. I think Ubuntu does, but last time I checked they were almost alone in that.

Like contemporary Linux has HiDPI support in the same sense Kdenlive is a video editor. It's technically true but leaves a lot to be desired.

It's not entirely impossible to get fined or arrested for calling the police in the US but you have to go extremely far out of bounds. Calling the police because there are kids near the school (hehe) is completely acceptable.

If anything it's the opposite: if you do anything slightly out of the usual - all the way to walking through a neighborhood that doesn't know you - there is a good chance someone will call the police. And that some patrol car will check it out just for breaking the dullness of the day.

Some of the cops who respond (because they might ALL head there, if it sounds fun enough), some will be smiling and relaxed and civil, while others will be very much looking for trouble and aggressive from the start. Such that for example, using plastic pistols in dark or day in public is a serious bad idea in the US.

Every is pretty broad.

The pragmatism of self-hosting is key parts of the software will be missing and you may not get a comparable experience.

The issue is not charging. The issue is where key, and actually core, functionality is sitting on the paid side. The idea that "at some point" you hit a paywall is generally not true. It can border on crippleware, and might as well be shareware (still great to support small development teams).

Evolving licensing and revenue generation is key.

The reality is we wouldn't have the world we have today without open-source software, as in the totally free kind, and at some point it does need to be maintained, unless some of the few packages reach some sort of maturity.

Your point about sysadmins not being cheap is fair. I would offer a counter-balance and ask how many more things than need to be are made to be far more complex than they need to be. After all, open-source is also a place of learning, experimentation, and breakthrough, and technical debt.

Still, other projects get so much done with so little support. Restricted core features pretty much tunes out a lot of users to get over the value inertia. It's hard to call it open-source, when it's not quite open source anymore.

One license I've seen is requiring companies over a certain revenue or headcount to have to license. Even JIRA had some of it figured out with their lowest license offering, but for a ton of functionality)

AGPL is helping with some of this - the more projects evolve to partner (for example if someone wants to license the tech to be part of an unrelated project)

Maybe the product managers should be the development team.

It's far easier to financially support fully open source software even though it might not happen as much as it should. I've recently come across an excellent loom alternative in Screenity and the developer only has a few sponsors.

Packaging open source for supporting the development of the software can come in many forms.
Not about Gio UI but related.

I'm really enjoying the conversation around UI toolkits here. But I think we're all missing the elephant in the room and it's that we already had (have?) a superb toolkit and development model in the Visual Basic (later Windows Forms) era and nothing really manages to replicate that experience nowadays.

Microsoft destroyed it when they tried to push WPF and later shenanigans, only to realize it was a mistake years later.

I can't understand why we all, as a sector, agree about standards being a good thing, even if some are only de facto, and never agreed to maintain that really simple model.

I remember Mono tried to bring that to all platforms and everybody ignored/smashed them because "it's Microsoft".

Bureaucratic ass-covering is basically the sine qua non of corporations and LLCs. And surprise surprise, as each lower organizational layer successively realized they'd be the ones left holding the bag, that dynamic has moved to even those who are supposed to be doing the work.

I'm not moving goalposts. The commenter tried to assert that only someone without "any other responsibilities" gets to spend a week learning something. It doesn't have to be in a hotel room. It doesn't have to be a week. It can be two, three, four weeks. Those are all implementation details.

The negative sentiment itself is what I addressed. Everyone fortunate enough to have internet access, a computer and a functional brain/body can make time, if they really want to, to learn new things that benefit their long term goals.
We have thought of supporting the tensor cores in cuda devices as well, we could probably use the same abstractions we need for that for the amx support. Unfortunately we mainly focus on cuda support because most cases people are using cuda for gpu compute purposes.

The current total world-wide production of anti-protons in a period of a year is in the range of nanograms. Maybe we will never see a dyson sphere because all far advanced civilisations have antimatter reactors.
One of the problems that I see is that, sometimes, you must borrow beyond what you feel is your limit, because everyone else is doing the same and the market rises accordingly.

So you take the “everybody is doing this so if we fall, we fall together and somebody will need to act” route.

That can happen in a (imho) non-perfect, non-commoditized market like housing. I wouldn’t care for people overborrowing on, let’s say, cars.

Seriously. Considering the existential risk the AI Safety tribe says exists if sufficient care is not taken, they appear to be existentially incompetent in their messaging. It should be their number one priority to convince the legion of competent non-AI engineers who will be developing and running the infra for their systems to come to their side. Currently they seem to be failing spectacularly.

If it wasn't for others in the AI community vouching for their chops it'd be easy to mistake them for Philosophy of Mind majors going by their tweets. They need to convince their fellow engineers not politicians. Right now when people hear "safety" for AI they think "regulation by incompetent bureaucrats".

The AI safety people need to remember that "you can't tell people anything", you have to show them [0].
