Given the sequence of events, Scarlett Johannsson suing OpenAI is a logical outcome. Sam Altman, of all people, should be anticipating this outcome for sure.

Assuming Sam Altman is not stupid, this could be part of some elaborate plan and a calculated strategy. The end goals could range from immediate practical outcomes like increased publicity (see ChatGPT's mobile app revenue doubled overnight: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chatgpts-mobile-app-revenue-s...) and market impact, to more complex objectives like influencing future legal frameworks and societal norms around AI.

This is major news, but not because of a new laptop is being released or because Microsoft is competing with Apple. From the news article:

> But today's new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop are the first Arm devices to be the primary Surface offerings rather than a side offering, and they're the first to credibly claim that they can both outperform comparable Intel- and AMD-designed chips while offering better battery life, a la Apple's M1 chip in 2020.

Microsoft's ARM-powered Surface Pro sounds like the first credible step to move the whole consumer market away from the x86 family, and thus kill Intel's stranglehold on how people use computers as their daily driver. This is a historical change, and one which might as well spell the death of behemoths such as Intel. People are no longer bounded by an anti-competitive stranglehold on their choices to pick Intel products over any conceivable competitor, and this happens at a point in time when Intel is already struggling.

I did some research and it seems this is already a problem with ICE vehicles because of the pickup/SUV trend.

I don’t know how precise this data is, but apparently the top selling models in the US are [1]:

1. Ford F-150 (1,846–2,584 kg)

2. Chevrolet Silverado (2,029–2,272 kg)

3. Toyota RAV4 (1,530–1,640 kg)

4. Tesla Model Y (1,884–1,998 kg)

5. Honda CR-V (1,500–1,681 kg)

6. Dodge Ram (2,176–3,418 kg)

7. GMC Sierra (2,029–2,272 kg)

8. Toyota Camry (1,480–1,660 kg)

9. Toyota Tacoma (2,007–2,032 kg)

10. Tesla Model 3 (1,611–1,836 kg)

They do seem to average 200-300 kg more than a comparable ICE model but as a whole they’re not tremendous outliers.

First of all, Objective-C was opensourced during NeXT days, that is also when GNUStep effort started. Steve Jobs famously wasn't that happy about the GCC license forcing NeXT to do so, years before Apple came into play.

Secondly, yes Swift is quite relevant on Apple platforms, and that is exactly why the only ones that really care about using Swift on Linux, are mostly Apple shops writing the server side of their iDevice apps, since Apple killed OS X Server, leaving Linux distributions as the only option for server side.

This on Windows is kind of nice that it exists, but I doubt it will ever take off beyond what the folks at the Arc browser are doing.

The language is great, however the whole ecosystem speaks Apple Frameworks.

Not really. News about all these come up on Reddit. I might open it once in a blue moon or if somebody sends me over there to read something supposedly interesting.
It's either both or none at all. Anywhere between would destroy any and all of the ICC's remaining legitimacy.

umm I really didn't expect that much reaction. It was a legitimate question not a complaint or provocation. I really have no idea where this theming its coming from and what if anything I missed. It was genuine curiosity but off the main topic. My mistake.

I'm starting to understand that there is a much deeper social conflict going on with whatever is happening on this topic, so I got my answer and I"m just going to move on.
I agree, you should be roughly 50-50 in terms of pressure.
Not a surprise. The US should stop subsidizing cow corn, wheat, soybean, and meat ag and start subsidizing low-glycemic organic vegetables.
It's the intersection of a few problems.

- Scaling / reshaping a UI is a fundamentally hard problem that people love to pretend is easy. There are all kinds of tradeoffs that need to be made based on the layout. Which text needs to be preserved? When is it appropriate to show ellipsis? Should padding be dynamic? Apart from CSS another major attempt was GridBagLayout in early Java, which was also a mess.

- Designers tend to be visual arts people who aren't of the correct personality type to dive in and solve all of the nitty gritty issues when making their design. They also like to make complex designs to show how creative they are. They also use their superior social skills to rope high level people to develop and approve the designs with them so that things are final before a dev gets to have a look. Once that happens ego comes into play and they can't be simplified.

- CSS fundamentally doesn't have the correct tools to solve a lot of the issues. CSS first came out in 1996. Line clamping seems like an obvious problem to solve. Yet 28 years later we're still stuck with a prefixed -webkit-line-clamp. In general CSS sees overflowing text as a problem it doesn't want to deal with.

Copper is of course, chemically incompatible with most disinfectants and cleaners and will corrode. Which is one reason it stopped being used when ammonia/etc became super common. They are less common now in straight form (even Windex is no longer mainly ammonia unless you use the original formula version)

So solid copper/brass i can get behind because it probably doesn't affect lifetime meaningfully, but I am very curious how the coating in the article withstands splashes of ammonia or peroxides or other things used to clean the floors or windows.
Not here to weigh in on the answers to these questions. But it certainly feels pretty scary to have to ask such questions about a company leading the LLM space, considering the U.S. currently has little to no legal infrastructure to reign in these companies.

Plus the tone of the voice is likely an unimportant detail to theor success. So pushing up against the legal boundaries in this specific domain is at best strange and at worst a huge red flag for their ethics and how they operate.
Because landlords are a business providing a service, and doing business has risk. Part of the risk around having a tenant is that they may have financial issues and may not be able to pay you on time. If you can't handle that risk, because you rely on the tenant to pay your mortgage, then your business isn't viable. Any business that relied on accounts receivable to be timely would almost certainly be out of business in a short time period.

Try doing consulting work and see how long it takes businesses to pay out your invoices. Be a B2B company, and see how long it takes businesses to pay out your invoices. Are they going to be willing to pay a late payment fee? Ask your accounting team what their average payout time is for accounts receivable.

The difference between these cases is power dynamic. Landlords have extreme levels of power over tenants. If it's legal to charge a fee for a late payment, the tenant either has a choice of paying a fee or having no home. It's an unfair balance, and the government shouldn't allow this to exist.
But usually easier than making it build locally.

Would you be willing to run the memoir generation once again? I would love to change something and see if your result improves.

(Background: I switched from gpt-4 to gpt-4o last week and from my tests noticed the following: the resulting memoir got significantly longer (yay!), but the structure turned from a thematic extraction to, as you say, almost a restatement.)

Article doesn't mention the worst offender in my view: the default GBoard keyboard on my Android phone sends everything I type to Google -- and voice typing goes through their servers too. This is the default keyboard on a billion phones.

I've done tests where I text a friend using Signal and WhatsApp, E2E encrypted apps, and the default keyboard tracks every word. Mentioning how much my sister really loves her convertible BMW, and wondering if maybe I should buy a new convertible (this is LOL, I am a bicycle commuter) and within three minutes the auto ads start appearing relentlessly all over the internet and especially on Instagram!

This is not the thing where you just happen to notice it because you're looking for it -- literally 50% of the ads switched to car ads after I sent that message.

I can install a different keyboard from F-Droid, but how many people do that? And I lose voice typing even though it could be done on-phone. Sad.

Even on an old, well-understood, and revered[0] laptop (the ThinkPad T530), I was having an unexpectedly-dead battery when running Windows.

It's a work laptop, and it is pretty much only used for occasional actually-portable computing work like programming of other devices in the field. It spends most of its time in the work truck, hibernated and unplugged -- sometimes, for weeks at a stretch.

I began to accept its increasingly-poor apparent battery health and started to explain it to myself as "Well, it is pretty old."

Or so I thought, anyway: One day it was sitting there on a table, unplugged, and I noticed that it came to life by itself and then hibernated again a few minutes later.

WTF?

Waaaay too much investigation later, I found that a part of an HP printer driver was forcing it to wake every couple of hours...for reasons that I don't care to explore, since none of those reasons could possibly have any positive merit.

Waaaay too much poking-and-prodding after that, I was able to disable the offending thing using powercfg on the command line.

And now, it seems fine. The battery life is not particularly good and never will be, but at least it's not "Surprise! I'm completely dead!!!" anymore.

This kind of sloppiness in software seems to be considered normal in the Windows space, and an abusive HP printer driver doesn't care if it is running on a 9-year-old ThinkPad or a 9-day-old Surface: It will abuse all of them just the same.

[0]: I hate numeric keypads, and gamer laptops, and computers that are built down to a budget as a primary design criteria. The T530 is approximately the last 15" PC laptop that lacks a numeric keypad, and that does not have stupid gamer-glam functions or styling, and that isn't built down to a budget price. It is stoic and plain and black, and both the keyboad and the touchpad are centered on the screen.
> I tried NodeJS/Typescript for a couple of years, between '21 and '23 - I never learned to like it and leaving the community was the best decision for my mental health in a software development context.

That's an interesting statement, as it heavily contrasts with my personal experience.

From the start, TypeScript felt as a breath of fresh air and the whole experience was very enjoyable.

The only (and major) drawback was having to deal with JavaScript frameworks which required tsconfig.json/webpack voodoo to work at all, let alone with TypeScript, but once the project was sorted out everything was a pleasure.

Can you point out the single most egregious thing you experienced with TypeScript?

What does it matter what it starts at? The 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD model of the Macbook Air is $1400 with an M2 and $1500 with an M3 (on the Apple website). The preorder price for the Surface Laptop with the same configuration is $1200 with a Snapdragon X Plus and $1400 with a Snapdragon X Elite (on the Microsoft website).
ryzen 3700 64GB(total), gentoo on NVME, nvidia 1060; windows on another NVME as a qcow (or whatever), nvidia 1070ti, 8 physical cores no HT, 32-48GB RAM.

you have to disable the specific GPU you want to use for another OS in the kernel command line - this means you need two different spec/brand GPUs, probably. There were some tweaks that i could probably dig out eventually, but most of what i used to troubleshoot were the archlinux wiki and forum posts pointing to blogs. However if you're just needing Office, just installing windows in qemu on literally any GPU will probably be just fine!

you can rsync the qcow to back up the entire windows OS.

for me to run games and audio software in windows my command line was:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -cpu host,kvm=off -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi -device vfio-pci,host=0d:00.0,x-vga=on -device vfio-pci,host=0d:00.1 -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/mnt/m2bay/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/mnt/m2bay/ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd -drive file=/mnt/m2bay/windows10-01.img,id=disk,format=raw,if=none -device scsi-hd,drive=disk -drive file=/mnt/synology/iso/Windows_10-32_64_pro_home.iso,id=isocd,if=none -device scsi-cd,drive=isocd -drive file=/mnt/synology/iso/virtio-win/virtio-win-0.1.171.iso,id=virtiocd,if=none -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,drive=virtiocd -usb -device usb-host,hostbus=1,vendorid=0x046d,productid=0xc31c -device usb-host,hostbus=5,vendorid=0x1a2c,productid=0x0042 -soundhw hda -vga none -object input-linux,id=kbd,evdev=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-kbd,grab_all=y -object input-linux,id=mouse,evdev=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if01-event-mouse

you press both ctrl buttons to switch back and forth between host and guest, windows gets its own ip. Running office wouldn't require >60% of that stuff

Functional Programming approaches usually win in the long run. This is a common thread in the article too, although not explicit.
Fair? Maybe? I don't remember phones ever lasting that long for me back in the day. I do somewhat miss being able to keep extra batteries, but not as much as I used to.

I'm fairly confident if I turn off wifi, gps, and bluetooth on my phone, my phone would last several days on a charge easily. Things that kill my battery are almost always overly greedy bluetooth connections. Or back when I used my phone as my gps recorder for bike rides.
Swift does not require a GC, which in some cases can be desirable.

I would also say that it is generally a better language feature-wise. C# suffers from having been an almost carbon copy of Java originally (with some Delphi thrown in for good measure).
Yeah, influential people shouldn't get to functionally own a "likeness." It's not a fingerprint. An actor shouldn't credibly worry about getting work because a rich/famous doppelganger exists (which may threaten clientele).

Explicit brand reference? Bad. Circumstantial insinuation? Let it go.

I assume the question is rather which LLM can cover most of the tasks while delivering decent quality. I would prefer an architecture using different LLM for different tasks rather like 'specialists' instead of simple 'agents'. I used to take the main task and divide it in smaller tasks and see what can I use to solve the problem. Sometimes rule-based approaches can be already enough for a sub-task and LLM would be not only overkill but also more difficult to implement and maintain.

Well, Hamas and Israel are at war, and have been at war since Hamas came to power, so not sure why "act of war" matters here. Firing rockets at Israel surely is an act of war.

This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafah_Border_Crossing says:
"It is located on the Egypt–Palestine border. Under a 2007 agreement between Egypt and Israel, Egypt controls the crossing but imports through the Rafah crossing require Israeli approval."

There is no mention of controlling movement of people. Anyways, this is something Egypt agreed to and it's sovereign and free to agree to anything it wants to. What do you mean "Egypt has no chosen voluntarily"?

Do you have a reference to your claim that Palestinians can't move without Israel consent?

> Stock options had long been a major part of the Sierra compensation package, so most employees and former employees were affected by the overnight collapse in Cendant’s share price, and its continued fall.

Stories like this one and my own experience are the reason why I refuse to accept contracts where stock options are part of compensation package. The agents/hiring managers are quite surprised when I tell them that stock options are just a way to make people work harder for less money. It is a sweet deal for the company and a crap deal for the employee.
BlackRock and Vanguard do try to influence the companies whose shares they manage - that is "ESG" - but people don't really like it when they do it.

Who said they never reach those numbers? All manufacturers have disclaimers that the "UP TO numbers" have been achieved in their labs in their own controlled environment, and some even specify some the conditions: Pass Mark, wifi, power-mode screen brightness, etc.

Your car also specifies some very optimistic MPG/range specs that most owners will never reach but they were reached in a lab somewhere running on a dyno.
