Nobody can predict the future, but what is currently researched:
- coupling deep learning with some kind of memory

- non generative hierarchical architecture (see LeCun JEPA)

- mixing deep learning with symbolic methods (usually search over token or latent space, it can also be a coupling with symbolic engines. Coupling LLMs with wolfram was a very early example)

- ability to perform unbounded computation per token inside a deep network. Something like Universal Transformers
The article doesn't mention subscriptions, which is pretty interesting. Will this be a standalone hardware product?
Yeah. "Ex Googler" used to mean "probably a really smart person".

Now as I was reading through that article I kept thinking things like "How are they gonna rug pull buyers?" "What's gonna happen when they hold someone's home heating to ransom because they aren't paying some backend service subscription?" "Who're they planning upon selling room occupancy and energy use data to?" "How much legitimately purchased and expensively installed hardware is gonna end up bricked when this "20% project" get's graveyarded because the person driving it got distracted by some new shiny project?"

It's quite easy to get all the nutrition you need from plants. No bug eating necessary.
You list factory farming and climate change, and say they're bad. I agree. You say data and science support your statements. You don't list the data or science. But moreover, you don't
even mention the virus which is the topic of this thread or attempt to tie it through any data to the things you list in your post. In fact, the spread is H5N1 to mammals is largely unrelated to any human activity. So it's hard to know to which data or science you're referring, and I suppose people are supposed to come to their own conclusions. But as I said, I find that these types of posts detract from and derail useful conversations on this topic.
The insightful videos I see mostly have comments like "thanks xxx this video was super helpful". Which I guess is nice and polite and models good behavior. But it also doesn't add much value for me.
> is how unfamiliar the US market is with split systems

This was completely true 10 years ago. These days though mini split is the standard in the US for remodeling. If you go to a slightly wealthier part of an urban city almost every house has them.

Used to be you would put in high-velocity central during a remodel (instead of ducts, it uses smaller pipes, with the air moving relatively fast since the pipe is much smaller). Total it's exclusively mini split.

New construction hasn't fully switched over yet though. Partly because mini splits can't provide enough heating for a northern climate, and since you need a fire someplace, you use that same ducting for the A/C.
Having ducted AC that brings fresh air to each room has the obvious drawback that you're wasting energy to cool down (or heat up) rooms that do not contain any humans. Like when you are sleeping in your bedroom, there's no point in cooling your living room and kitchen as well in most cases. A split system that only circulates air within one room would use a fraction of the energy in that case.

Anyway, you could always install one of these in addition to your aircon if you want air from the outside: https://broan-nutone.com/en-us/fresh-air-systems/residential
You can tell it's not just you when suddenly your swipe text has randomly capitalized words. I get LoL _constantly_ since the beginning of this year, despite going back and rewriting it letter by letter every time for the first month or so it happened. I'm not sure I've ever typed it that way intentionally, as I don't play the game and neither do my friends.
Ever since Google changed the way they did autocorrect[1] a few years ago it's been pretty terrible and getting worse. There's random "words" that I can't remove from predictions[2] because at some point I used double dashes somewhere and Android remembered `not--it's` as a word itself[3]. Then there's words that I've had to explicitly add to my dictionary because despite using them frequently for a year (eg. CLI program names and options) just one time backspacing to change the ending of one was enough to remove it from whatever temporary memory is kept that's not part of the actual dictionary.

Desktop isn't much better. I actually somewhat like having the text inputs in some programs as I do writing in nontraditional programs (like arbitrary chat programs that don't implement spell check, because why would they?) but it feels incredibly unintuitive, especially when using RDP from my tablet [4], but also when using it locally. Windows is a keyboard-first OS for me, I shouldn't need to use the mouse for any first-party functionality.

1: including autocomplete suggestions, predictive text, and swipe input. I call all of these autocorrect since they mostly seen to share the same dictionary and rules.
2: they're not in my custom dictionary, and dragging the suggestion to the middle of the screen doesn't prevent it from happening again)
3: easy fix, but it needs to be implemented: a single dash is part of a word, a double dash is not.
4: this is an area Microsoft could improve tbh. They know what kind of input you're using when you're in edge or command line. In these software the mobile RDP client should provide keyboard hints to the local soft keyboard to switch input modes based on form input types, and should reset the local keyboard when the active remote keyboard context changes. It should certainly not be deleting entire command lines when I hit backspace in RDP (this is especially annoying in CMD and notepad) as the local software keyboard doesn't know that the my long string was 7 inputs to 4 different programs, not one long input.

I’m sorry, but a major home improvement investment of $6,500 per room relying on a small VC-backed startup is a recipe for disaster, given its cloud-connected nature. If it shipped with Matter/HomeKit/etc support out of the box, I might feel more confident knowing I can still configure it long after the company goes belly up, or Google buys in and inevitably kills the product 10 years from now.

> Why not just use Emacs

Emacs is an ethereal substance. You cannot "use" it. Just like with magic - there are no users of Emacs, you can be skilled practitioner or a beginner but you don't "use" magic - you apply it to create or to destroy. To slay dragons, to amaze and terrify uninitiated ones

https://twitter.com/iLemming/status/1093349152199630848

Seriously though, Emacs is hard. Especially these days, when the constant flow of distractions is intense. People these days do not have the patience for learning anything that takes them longer than an hour to grok. They'd rather duct tape things with "left-pad" solutions and call it "it just works"™, and if [insert fav editor here] doesn't support something, they lose any incentive to even try things.
If the quality of work isn't verifiable by performance indications you'd be best off having another developer review the code.

Super helpful feedback, thanks for going so deep! I agree that for the really heavy agentic stuff, the router in it's current form might not be the most important innovation.

However, for several use cases speed is really paramount, and can directly hinder the UX. Examples include sales call agents, copilots, auto-complete engines etc. These are some of the areas where we've seen the router really shine, diverting to slow models when absolutely necesary on complex prompts, but using fast models as often as possible to minimize disruption to the UX.

Having said that, another major benefit of the platform is the ability to quickly run objective benchmarks for quality, cost and speed across all models and providers, on your own prompts [https://youtu.be/PO4r6ek8U6M]. We have some users who run benchmarks regularly for different checkpoints of their fine-tuned model, comparing against all other custom fine-tuned models, as well as the various foundation models.

As for the overlap in routing concepts you mentioned, I've thought a lot about this actually. It's our intention to broaden the kinds of routing we're able to handle, where we assume all control flow decision (routing) and intermediate prompts are latent variables (DSPy perspective). In the immediate future there is not crossover though.

I agree cost is often an afterthought. Generally our users either care about improving speed, or they want to know which model or combination of models would be best for their task in terms of output quality (GPT-4, Opus, Gemini? etc.). This is not trivial to guage without performing benchmarks.

As for usually wanting to make a full LLM switch as opposed to routing, what's the primary motivation? Avoiding extra complexity + dependencies in the stack? Perhaps worrying about model-specific prompts no longer working well with a new model? The general loss of control?
Sacrificing safety might have been defensible on a 40 MHz 80386 that could barely run a C++ compiler (I think this is what I started my career on) but today we find eight-core 3.8 GHz CPUs in desktops and dual-core 1.8 GHz SiPs in wristwatches. Safety should have become table stakes a while ago; Moore's Law already paid for it.

>> There's also a more fundamental issue: absent explicit recording, we treat everything that's output to the screen and speakers as ephemeral.

This is very much like why it feels quite different to have automated license plate readers tracking and recording where your car has been - even though that is clearly public and visible by the fact that your car is driving down public roads.
DOJ has been filing aggressive antitrust cases throughout the Biden administration’s tenure. If you want to be conspiratorial, you can point to their losing record in court and argue they know the cases will fail, but “it’s an election year” doesn’t make sense. I think the realistic take is the people at DOJ are legitimately enacting the strongest antitrust enforcement they can get away with (and then some).

Interesting. This -szer suffix seems to be used a lot. Attached to hajtó, it turns driver to fuel. Attached to autó, it turns car to car service. Attached to pàra, it tuns vapor to vaporizer. Attached to fékező, it turns braking into brake fluid.

Seems like adding -szer turns the meaning of the word into its enabler.
I mostly only watch 'technical' videos like machining, 3D printing, electronics, etc. so sometimes I might think something's wrong or strange and appreciate validation from a commenter saying the same (or learn with them when someone replies in correction).

Or someone will chime in plausibly claiming experience/relevance to the thing discussed and provide some additional interesting information, in the same way we see in comments on HN.

There's a lot of crap too of course, but at least on content that's informational to begin with (not saying memes and music videos) there do exist good comments.

Everyone is out for Sam Altman, and there are reasons to scrutinize him. But on this issue - it is common for a company's Legal and HR teams to make decisions on language in docs like these (exit docs) entirely on their own. So it is plausible that Sam Altman had no idea that this aggressive language existed. One reason to think the same thing is true here, is I recall Sam spoke up for employee friendly equity plans when he was running YC.

Yes, I know there's plenty of reasons you'll nitpick twitter and I can nitpick bluesky as well.

If you want the edge of Ai/ML, I suggest twitter. Lots of world class accounts. Bluesky is good, has more old school... like 'harry potter' type nerds on it. They post interesting stuff. You should also have a discord. Maybe an insta if you're trying to get a gf

I suggest you look at the supreme courts actual docket.[0] It's a misnomer to think that the Supreme Court only cares about the first and second amendments, that's just what's interesting to Americans. Nobody cares about some random government employee who was furloughed in 2013,[1] for example, but the court reviewed that anyway. Law school is not just about the first amendment. In fact business law is actually a pretty common field to go into.

Racism much? You must live in a pretty small bubble if you've never met a black person who can understand math.
Well, I was referring to Marx and Engels. That's sort of how the whole movement got started. The post-Hegelians who turned away from logic-based philosophical debate to a sort of anti-logical emotional debate where facts mattered less than the arc of history. That got nationalized and industrialized with Lenin and Stalin etc, but that trend precedes them and was more personal. It was hashed out in coffee houses and drinking clubs.

You see the same pattern with social media accounts who claim to be on the Maxist-influenced left. Their tactics are very frequently emotionally abusive or manipulative. It's basically indistinguishable in style from how people on the fringe right behave.

Personally I don't think it's a right vs left thing. It's more about authoritarianism and the desire to crush the people you feel are violating the rules, especially if it seems like they're getting away with violating the rules. There are just some differences about what people think the rules are.
It's also not like they're not campaigning for the other 3 years of the term.

Daikin has a range which pulls air from the outside. I'm using it in the room I am in now. Here in Sendai the nights are cold enough that my house is coasting still. Thus the mini split is acting only as a fan and pulling in fresh air. This house is old, 30+ years, so it's nice as a retrofit to improve air quality.

Opening a window would be an obvious alternative but then sound would mix.

Political sure, but I don’t think you can call something politics without there being some debate.
