The world is exactly there as it ever was, power structures and power struggles. Two major differences to the past is that there is more people than ever, and that we currently have near-instant global communication.

I'm with you on the "think of the children" argument. That is 100% what's happening, and I think that it boils down to how the human mind works, particularly on how putting out a fire feels much better than preventing the same fire.

"Libertarian" means a lot of things, so it's hard to criticize, I especially struggle with the closing thought. Who are these libertarians that we should support, in order to have a better world?
I've watched a few shipbreaking documentaries, they show that near the breaking operations there are large flea markets or bazaars where you can buy pretty much anything of any value that has been salvaged from the ships.

For sure, you can if you want to. And if you pull it off there are some advantages, which the article describes.

It's just harder.
Of course not, but the real objection is "it doesn't put money in my pocket" and they can't say that. The point of saying this instead is to make it just a little bit harder to debunk. Attention is a scarce resource, so that's enough to push it through.
Tax write off, showing off purchasing power.

The only people I’ve ever seen buy that kind of crap for personal stuff are showing off their purchasing power.

I used to be like that when I first got my taste of money. Then I realized I’m a moron.

Just my 2 cents.
Well in that case you're taxing people who don't use it to pay for it. If it can't get enough people wanting to use it at what it costs to run, I can see that as a good argument it shouldn't exist. (Though obviously I would take that data with a pile of salt.)
This is a really good discussion of density in different forms. I’ve always thought mobile UIs could have a density renaissance, would love to see folks questioning some assumptions of these devices - especially when the trend with LLMs is “wait a long time for a potentially incredibly wrong output” it feels like we’re going the wrong way.
Ah! I can definitely relate to that ;-) Still can hear the rescue sound of people entering the chopper !!!
The CEO of Huggingface had to do the "hold my beer" thing and suggest people train an open source model of her voice on Twitter and Linkedin. Can't make this level of detachment up.
The part you’re missing (IMO) is that he’s in that position because folks want him to ‘steal’ for their benefit, and are overlooking that he is likely going to steal to their detriment too.

It’s behind the ‘you can’t con an honest man’ thing.
That is wrong on several levels. First off, it ignores the role of massive researchers. Should we start de-automating processes to employee more people at the cost of worsening margins?
Heath/Zenith's ZBASIC on the MSDOS-but-not-PCDOS Z-100 used a similar format but with at least different keywords.

It looks like a new kind of sandbox game and it certainly is a very promising concept. It might allow for entirely new types of collaborative storytelling. e.g. if a player marks an item as 'important' the next level generated builds on that thread.

Personally I would love to have a dedicated tool for generating mods for established games like Minecraft and let simple drawings be given life in game worlds.
Dependency injection is a basic tool of writing robust, testable code. The alternative is strict hard-wiring of the dependencies, which deprives you of places your code can be tested.

But do not confuse "dependency injection" with "massive heavyweight opaque framework with a billion bells and whistles that breaks constantly". Dependency injection includes things like passing in a handle to the SQL database instead of it being a global variable, which your test suite uses to switch between various test instances of the database instead of the target code being hard coded to some variable, or even hard coded with its own connection credentials.

If you're not using dependency injection you are almost by definition using a lot of global variables. I'm as happy or happier than the next programmer to be a contrarian, but, no, the collective wisdom on those is dead on. They're deadly and should be avoided. Dependency injection is the biggest tool for that.

Not having dependency injection creates more problems than it solves.

However, I'm not sure that most "frameworks" for it aren't creating more problems than they solve. Probably one of the classic examples of lopsided accounting, in this case looking at the benefits but neglecting the costs. Anything looks good if you do that. But a lot of "frameworks" seem to bring along a suite of middling, sort of convenient benefits at the cost of massive opacity, unreliability, and the bad kind of magic. Not a good trade for a lot of programs.
I'm happier to see Microsoft emulate Apple by introducing overpriced hardware than I am seeing Apple emulating Microsoft with an increasingly confusing product assortment and a bloated operating systems.

> You'd have to be insanely naive to assume this was ever born of altruism.

Yet the vast, vast majority did and a still large proprtion continue to proclaim that these projects were born of altruism and continue to serve these altruistic goals and these people are most incredible altruistic humans to ever grace this fine planet of ours.
Wrong framing, currencies don't have agency. You should be asking when would you need your currency to be devalued, regardless of what it's called or made from.

And the answer to that is all the reasons governments do just that, except for the times where the government is being particularly stupid and doing hyperinflation.
To make matters worse, when these ships come under attack or get hijacked, suddenly they want the full backing of Western military forces. Strange they don't call on Panema or Antigua's military forces, since that's where they are registered.
The article is wrong. It's $450 total for the keyboard and the pen. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-pro-flex-keyboard-...

Both of these are way too expensive.

128 bit address space is overkill, but I wonder if a hardware-backed 128 bit integer type would be useful for bit twiddling - or whether spreading the bits over two 64-bits integers is 'good enough' assuming that both halfs reside in the same cache line, and it's unlikely that a single bit twiddling operation needs to affect both halfs.

I guess I will find out soon because I started a home computer emulator experiment in Zig where I'm essentially mapping mainboard wires to bits in a wide integer, and where 64-bits definitely won't enough, but 128 bits most likely will cover most target systems. Very curious about the x86-64 and ARM compiler output.
Really interesting - how did Israel fare without Iron Dome (ie, before 2011)?

Iron Dome simply allows Israel to do more offense. Without it, they would need to be more cautious.

A rather disappointing read. I was expecting an analysis explaining why there is this trend towards very sparse interfaces, or practical ways of designing interfaces that are denser in the face of design trends that are pushing all product teams to do ever more spacing out.

Instead, what I found was a reminder of the ‘laws of design’, which are certainly interesting, but which are only tangentially linked to this drift (in my opinion); and to take the most extreme example of sparse interfaces (the Bloomberg Terminal), without really any concrete elements that could help bring a little density back to our user interfaces.

...not to mention what ends the article, a lunar explanation along the lines of ‘Google's very high stock market valuation compared to Yahoo can be explained by the lack of density of its home page interface’ - really? Come on.
I was hoping the title was clickbait and it included an ai accelerator or something.

Maritime regulation is hard when it operates in the space between states.

Asbestos in particular is such a temptation in manufacturing because it's just so useful and cheap. An argument can probably be made that handled properly it saves more lives than it harms just because it's such a good fire resistant insulator.
Apparently they want to compete with Apple on hardware prices as well.
Absolutely, if you're building a GraphQL server, parsing is almost certainly not your bottleneck. Stellate is effectively a GraphQL CDN, so for us, it is.

Our request flow effectively boils down to:

1. Parsing a GraphQL query to assess which types and fields are within it

2. Matching the configured cache rules to those types and fields

3. Caching partial results accordingly

So, for our specific use case, parsing is one of the main things our edge gateway does, and reducing overhead there allowed us to significantly improve our overall performance.

In my opinion the actionable thing here is to just get word out enough that a large two-party majority says "Hmm, that's probably not good, if a candidate calls this out as a problem that we can put more research into then I'll like that candidate more."

And I'm sure there are things scientists/government can start to do with this. A good first step would be setting FDA limits on microplastics on food/water.
> There’s an upper limit to information density, which means you can subtract too much ink, or add too much information. The audience matters, too: A bond trader at their 4-monitor desk will have a pretty high threshold; a 2nd grader reading a textbook will have a low one.

I think this is the most important line: when taken with the axiom “design for your lowest common denominator” and the general advice given to lawyers in a jury trial “speak, explain at a 3rd grade level”

The upper limit for information density has lowered significantly for the vast majority of general users, so unless you can fix that we’re not gonna get our high density UIs back. At least not for general purpose widely distributed applications.
So what are the chances that our grandkids PCs will have over 18 exabytes of RAM in 2043?

This article is invaluable.

We've done the trick of "short animations for delays <1sec", and "indeterminate loader for under 10sec", but one thing that's not mention is that the "determinate loader for waits between 10sec and 1min" is a huge marketing opportunity.

This is where you get to show the value of the product by listing "how much work" is getting done. Similar to how travel sites will tell you, while you're waiting for results, how many airlines they're comparing on your behalf.

It's impossible to talk about real numbers in this case of course, and speaking strictly about percentage points or bips doesn't capture the thrust of the change (or situate it accurately vis a vis stripe's continual fee inflation, i.e. see elsewhere others' comments ~"stripe has been nickel and diming us for years"). In an era where stripe has used its cache to capture certain business communities wholesale and then ratcheted up pricing in ways you wouldn't expect outside of a monopoly player IMO, I think it's helpful to be super clear about the relative change rather than absolute change.

His book The Things We Make was good, especially if you're interested in engineering.

Its central thesis is that the engineering method fundamentally differs from the scientific method in that engineers use rules of thumb to solve problems with many unknowns and incomplete information. The scientific method by contrast is a mostly theoretical exercise in building universal principles and theories from empirical observations and experiments.

Engineering, in his view, is not applied science but rather a separate artform.

The book wasn't perfect by any means but that framing and distinction was helpful to incorporate into my worldview.

Even if you could get that to work, how many people would be willing to run their >300W GPUs at full tilt 24/7 in order to contribute to the training cause?

Surely the company that has been gobbling up data and information without the rights to them or any form of compensation have suddenly turned a new leaf and decided to try and pay an actress that isn't involved.

That is one way to measure damages but it's difficult. It would be easier to measure what she would have been paid if she had agreed to do it, Mrs. Johansson is in the business of selling rights to use her likeness for large amounts of money - it would be easy to demonstrate that she would have been paid at least as much as the use of her voice in the movie Her. Since she did decline the offer it would be easy to suggest that the amount she would have agreed to would have been much more than the movie Her.

The other aspect is that OpenAIs infringement is open ended, in that it is not equivalent to the single use within a single movie, it is substantially more. People who want Mrs. Johansson to voice their projects could now instead use OpenAI to obtain the same likeness - so the damages are for the deprivation all the future earnings Mrs. Johansson could have made.

Then there is reputational damage, if someone using OpenAI generated and disseminated a voice message before committing a heinous crime then the public would associate the voice with the crime and Mrs. Johansson would be intrinsically linked to the same crime. People hearing her voice would be reminded of the crime. This would again prevent Mrs. Johansson from making money from her likeness but would also negatively impact all aspects of her life and all future earnings, business dealings, and personal life.

Unusually the initial remedy is an injunction to prevent further infringement but OpenAI yanked it immediately so no injunction was needed. One way to repair reputational damage is to pay for news media to widely and publicly correct the reputationally damaging falsehood. As this has been a substantial scandal that media coverage has been already given for free and it is unlikely that there is anyone left who still believes that OpenAI is using Mrs. Johansson's likeness with either tacit or explicit permission.

As stated by your peer comment there are still reasons for Mrs. Johansson to bring a lawsuit for damages even where there are no significant damages - the lawsuit itself would be damaging to OpenAI so it would be in OpenAIs interest to pay to avoid it. At the same time it would be in other large companies interests for it to continue, so there may be a bidding war on whether or not Mrs. Johansson continues with the lawsuit. In addition it would benefit Mrs. Johansson personally and professionally to be seen as a champion of the rights of artists - especially at a time when AI companies like OpenAI are trampling all over those rights.

The article itself actually covers this point a bit:

> Cannon said use of the phrase "dark money groups" when referring to 501(c)(4) organizations "often reveals a stunning level of ignorance." Cannon pointed to the Supreme Court's 1958 ruling in NAACP v. Alabama, which held that the NAACP did not have to provide its membership lists to the state. The court decided that "compelled disclosure of affiliation with groups engaged in advocacy may constitute... a restraint on freedom of association."
Ex-Googler – AI work is driven by 'a stone cold panic'
When we first released our Chat+RAG feature, users had to wait up to 20 seconds for the response to show. (with only a loading animation).

And then we fake-streamed the response (so you're still, technically, waiting 20 seconds for first token, but now you're also waiting maybe 10 additional seconds for the stream of text to be "typed")...

And, to my enormous surprise, it felt faster to users.

(Of course after several iterations, it's actually much faster now, but the effect still applies: streaming feels faster than getting results right away)
