It is counterproductive to shame an employer for hiring hundreds of thousands of low-income workers who would likely be on government assistance regardless of Amazon. By all means, we can regulate companies to ensure that working conditions are safe and encourage companies to provide more opportunities for advancement. But the act of hiring low-wage workers who need welfare is a good thing. What are other companies doing to employ non-college-educated workers in the bad parts of town?

I agree, I do not see a natural object relationship between the types of numbers.

'Natural' (unsigned int) numbers might be a building block of signed integers, fractional pairs, and composed floating point types; but they seem like three distinct use cases, with perhaps a way of converting a whole fraction or positive signed number into another type either if it fits, or with an accepted loss of information.

When OOP was covered in classes years ago the typical example was something like...

> Actually, it's the opposite. At the level of automation we've reached, labor is worth, per hour, way more than 100 years ago. The problem is just that this value is siphoned off by shareholders who do not have to

If this were even slightly true, you could just go out and offer your labor on the street corner, and people would jump at the chance to buy it from you. Or you could "harvest" your labor and sell it retail to others trivially, and just loaf around half the year on the cool half million you earned the other half.

You can't do these things, and few can. Your labor has no economic value whatsoever, nor does the labor of most other people.

> The entire system is designed to drain as much v

Designed by who? Why does everyone use the word design here? It sounds every bit as dumb to say "design" here as it would if we were talking about biology. The system evolved. No one person got to design, or parts of it, nor did a committee. If some billionaire or pope or warlord wanted to redesign it today, he couldn't. It's never been designable. No one would even know how to design it so that they could get the results they desired.

Isn't CUDA basically hidden behind pyrorch and others?

I know that it's touted as the key competitive advantage, but it seems to stem from the fact it actually works, unlike others.

Still great advantage, but not a lock in. If competitors get their act together, couldn't they just replace CUDA with another API, all hidden somewhere in the sw stack?
What if they don’t remember the regulation code?

AI is still fueled by hope.

The actually applications of it (they do exist and they are valuable) pale in comparison and value to what it's valuation is based on, it's future promise.

When the people who say things like "AI is going to replace all accountants!" stop speaking the the future tense, it's value will be justified. For now, it's OpenAI spending billions developing a product they hope will make trillions and Nvidia is happy to sit in the background selling billions of dollars in compute.
CUDA is their API and is proprietary. It's very fast and it's a significant competitive advantage.

Its competitors are only way behind when it comes to software support. The hardware coming out of Intel and amd is, especially for its price, very capable. Given how much money is being invested in AI right now, I don’t see Nvidia’s moat lasting more than a few more years.
I’ve already heard a few times that the selection of models is seen as a problem (need to benchmark continually, justify changes…), this is an elegant solution.

I don’t know if choosing different models for the same consumer can be problematic (seen as not consistent), but maybe using this approach will force the post-processing code not to be “coupled” with one particular model.
Building RAG can be easy for a simple example, but it's much more nuanced than you might think when you try to do it at larger scale.

With larger-scale real-world enterprise RAG-based applications, you soon realize the enormous time and effort required to experiment with all these levers to optimize the RAG pipeline: which vector DB to use and how, which embedding model to use, pure vector search or hybrid search, chunking strategies, and on and one...

With Vectara's RAG-as-a-service (www.vectara.com) we try to help address exactly this issue: you get an optimized, high performance, secure and scalable RAG pipeline, so you don't need to go through this massive hyper-parameter tuning exercise. Yes, there are still some very useful levers you can experiment with, but only where it really matters.

How's that working out for these people who bought shares?
Disagree. Most Brazilians don't even see a benefit from the logging and ranching done in slashed Amazon rainforest. It's a subset of Brazilians, and that subset bares the blame here. Just labeling nationalities as deserving or undeserving blame is painting with too broad a brush, and ignoring the fact that it's mostly the ultra wealthy to blame here. A poor Brazilian in a favela is a victim. A regional governor ignoring illegal logging because they receive a kickback is not.
The issue is simply companies taking advantage of people.
We like to call it the market, but the market only works when there is a balance.

> At the level of automation we've reached, labor is worth, per hour, way more than 100 years ago. The problem is just that this value is siphoned off by shareholders who do not have to work to receive the monetary value that should go to the worker.

You are wrong, but so very close that it's understandable.

What can be done with an hour of labour has gone up so very high. That it is true. But what has increased in value is the infrastructure of that allowed for the force multiplier. The actual value of labour thus goes down because it can be consumed so efficiently.

Since it's the infrastructure that provides most of the heavy lifting, the owners of it get the benefit.

If you need another analogy it'd be like a sport where players win the games, but it's really about the excellent coach that calls the plays. The players have no leverage even if they win all the games.
I am surprised it is a lot higher.

In any economy you need consumers and producers.

US economy has been trending towards fewer owners owning means of production.

Which makes sense, any business marginally better than their completion keeps on growing, the delta between 1st and 2nd keeps on increasing over time.

US consumer spending is strong right now. That is great for producers. If the economy goes to shit, govt can hand out stimulus and inject money into economy.

Propping up demand is very easy - stimulus checks! Propping up supply is very hard - requires great infrastructure, a check on monopolies, investments that encourage innovation and competition.

The fact that the young generation are so squeezed, they are not having kids is a sign that we’ve fucked up.

The big have gotten too big and there isn’t enough competition to prop up supply and bring prices down.

Both parties love turning on the money printer, driving up inflation.

Australia isn't invading New Zealand, with their president stating New Zealanders don't exist, displacing 10+ million refugees, kidnapped 25.000 children, and systematically destroying New Zealand for 2+ years.

So, to wrap this up - you lie, and you lie constantly. You don't provide sources, or even bother to do a bare minimum research to back what you say. You're just lying to spread misinformation and spread confusion.

This exchange ends here, and I'm flagging you just in case your lies and dishonesty isn't a systematic source of disinformation here.

I always think when people react so negatively on text (comments, articles, blog-posts), they reveal a lot about themselves.

Not in the sense of a "moral high-ground" type of argument that is usually aimed for with this phrasing.

Rather: To be so convinced about knowing how a text must have been meant or what the author must have thought that one writes a very absolute judgmental statement, the reactor is most likely either very narrow-minded and isn't capable of dealing with thoughts that are not the first to salute ones mind, or, they reveal that in their mind their proposed "intention" or background is the truth, because they themselves would have only written a similar text with that intention or background... so either way: people being so negative (especially to strangers on the internet) about positive things, for no reason & without being asked, are just full of... themselves... (like me, i mean who am i to ramble this irrelevant stuff).

(I was about to delete it again, as i usually do after writing things down & then realizing they're stupid or not polished enough to convey the idea, but hey, i am also just a 15-year old arrogant mind that already wasted his time... so now, that you are here, i successfully also wasted yours.

Curious if you've closed out your position yet? The tricky thing about the market is both entering and exiting at the correct time.

I have strong knowledge of this is space and don't invest in it exactly for that reason. LLMs are great, but the hype is greater, and I personally don't want to have my income and my investments correlated.

NVIDIA may be selling a lot, but their P/E ratio is nearly 80, so that price isn't fundamentals alone. All we need is this ages equivalent to "perceptrons can't XOR" and there will be a fast correction.

This could go on a long time and I wouldn't be surprised if NVIDIA doubled over the next few years. After all crypto is still doing well despite everyone more or less agreeing it's a scam. I can also imagine world were something is revealed in a few months and everyone flees from "AI".

The only thing I know about the stock market is arbitrage theory still holds, and the future value of any stock tends to be it's current price + risk free rate over time.

Federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, so that's not saying much.

Going by state minimum wage, your statement is incorrect. According to Google the average Amazon warehouse worker in California makes $17-18 an hour. California minimum wage is $16 per hour.
"My company bought their product" does not sound like material non-public information. It certainly doesn't sound material (and for this reason I also think it was sheer dumb luck that the investment paid off so handsomely, rather than intimate knowledge of the business).

Yeah I don't think this take is accurate, my employer (state-owned, largest utility in my country) issues Surface laptops to many employees so I think there is likely significant enterprise use of these.

I do agree that this refresh seems like a renewed effort to compete in the consumer space though.

Wende is the term that most Germans use without thinking twice.

It’s been a common word, which existed long before 1989, and while it is since then strongly linked to the events around the time when the Berlin wall fell, you’ll have a hard time finding a German who knows of how this word was used by the East-German political party (SED).

Spoiler: It was used to mean the opposite of what actually happened (i.e. more power to the party).

The parent comment’s link brings you to the transcript of an interview with a former German law professor who, knowing the SED’s usage of the word, made sure to always describe what happened in 1989 as a revolution.

This is actually one person begging other German speakers to start using what he thinks is the correct word.

Ain’t gonna happen.

If East-Germans stood up for themselves in the required numbers to overthrow their leaders, I guess Germans would use the word revolution.

But that’s not what transpired.

In 1989 a system collapsed. Communism. While that may also always qualify as a revolution in academic circles, German people chose Wende, which simply means turnaround.

When do we say "enough" to all of these death and just legalize opiates?

Fentanyl's rise is 100% attributable to smuggling in drugs due to the War on Drugs. It allows the smugglers to move the maximum potency with the minimum risk and minimum quantity. Drug smuggling is a business, and as long as opiates remain illegal to posses without a prescription than this incentive will dominate.

Legalizing opiates, providing safe and clean areas for people to use, and using those safe and clean areas to get people help to quit, help finding a place to live, help getting food to eat, and help reintegrating into society will go much, much further than continued prohibition.
