The worst enemy of AI is the current industry climate. Tech has become a speculation-driven sector.

15 to 20 years ago what we call now "AI" would've been the logical follow up to automation technologies like Apple Automator, IFTTT, node-based visual interfaces. A solid and slightly groundbreaking advancement step in how we use our devices. It would've been a cool 15-minutes long demo on a WWDC and then we would've moved on with our lives, while using it on common, mundane, real-world problems.

But today every technological progression has to be an earth-shattering revolution, and every company needs to become the next multi-billion unicorn carried by a pseudo-messianic leaderships by the likes of Musk, Altman, Holmes or Bankman-Fried. Otherwise you can completely forget those sweet, sweet funding money.
Neat idea! You might be able to deduplicate the list by converting the decisions to embeddings and running k-means clustering.
True.

But contrary to fats (or proteins or fibers), sugar is also addictive, doesn’t satiate your body, and ultimately generates hypoglycemia some hours later for you to eat more sugar.

So yes, the dose makes the poison but sugar is the only one poison your body accepts to absorb in immense quantities.
It could be preserved if specifying the namespace used a different syntax.

Right now, if I have the `foo` module and `bar` function, I can call `arg1.bar()`, or `foo.bar(arg1)`. But if the namespace didn't also use `.`, then it wouldn't be an issue.

For sake of argument, lets choose `/` like Clojure. Then we'd get: `arg1.foo/bar()` so we can specify the namespace and uniform function call syntax is preserved.
Enough that I prefer it. If that were the only advantage, I'd only slightly prefer it. But being able to use case as a differentiator in filenames intended for me to read is something I find even more valuable.

A filesystem not being case sensitive isn't a dealbreaker or anything. I just prefer case sensitivity because it increases flexibility and readability for me, and has no downsides that I consider significant.

You ever read something that just leaves you confused as to how two perspectives can be so different? I mean, from down in the trenches, AI is doing great. In the last couple of years, context window sizes have increased to reasonable limits, ring attention has vastly improved needle-in-a-haystack performance, prices have come down, open source models are close to GPT-3.5 performance making local inference viable. And that's just LLMs; embedding models and vector databases are better and more available, generative voice actually sounds human, generative images and video are coming along. It's never been cheaper or easier to rent GPUs in the cloud. Two years ago, if data was in unstructured free text or in an image it would be a massive challenge to get any value out it and often not worth the effort; now, it's nearly trivial. How could anyone look at this and conclude, "AI is losing steam?"

I read it a couple of times and I think I figured it out. I'm looking at it as a technologist, while the WSJ is looking at it as an investment opportunity. When they say "losing steam" they mean "there's no alpha left." In other words, the smart money has already moved in, and the future value has already been priced in. This is a really telling quote:

> AI could become a commodity

That is a GOOD thing. It's called the ephemeralization of value[1]. Today, a HD color TV costs less than a black and white TV in 1950's. The WSJ would look at that and see a mere "commodity" because businesses are operating at lower margins and there's less money to be made, but billions of consumers benefit. Open source is the ultimate expression of ephemeralization, and it is inarguably a good thing when billions of people can benefit from state-of-the-art tech for free.

So yeah, maybe it's too late to get rich by investing early. Maybe a lot of the vaporware startups and thin wrappers around OpenAI's API will crash and burn soon. And yes, it's definitely been overhyped in certain regards and pushed into use cases it can't really support by promoters who neither know nor care what about the real capabilities and limitations. All of that in normal adoption curve stuff. The technology is definitely not losing steam; it's barely getting started. If you're a CS student, you 100% should be learning about vectorization, automatic differentiation, and differentiable programming, because the GPU isn't some sort of niche topic you can ignore. We've taken the von Neumann architecture as far as it can go, right up to the quantum limits, and now we have go parallel. These techniques are pointing the way to a simple model of parallelization that can actually take advantage of modern hardware without breaking your brain or getting lost is a maze of locks and semaphores. The "transformer" isn't the end-all-be-all of this paradigm - it just happens to be one technique that worked well in practice on free text data. There's so much more out there waiting to be discovered.

> Remember when it was impossible to talk about the lab leak theory without being labeled?

No, because I saw people talking about it continuously throughout the period. The conspiracy nuts and right-wing activists making wild evidence-free claims that COVID was a Chinese bio weapon or genetic engineering mistake were rightly dismissed, but people approaching it scientifically and trying to assess evidence for clues that it might have been a mishandled lab sample were not. That’s always been the problem with this: “lab leak” meant different things to different people, and the erstwhile martyrs tried to represent themselves as representing some broader truth when they had always been trying to work backwards from a politically-advantageous explanation.

They wouldn't need to figure out anything. The "kids and enemy states" are just hosing address ranges. I don't agree with the above commenter that NAT offers any meaningful security in this regard (now they're just hosing your consumer router instead which is probably less secure than the average updates-installed Defender-enabled Windows box). But you're both making points about security through obscurity in different ways.

Previous proposals would have required everyone to provide income data to their utility which the utility would verify “somehow” (never fully articulated AFAIK)

The latest proposal (which has been accepted by the CPUC) has fixed charges applied for everyone (much lower than previously proposed fixed charges) with discounts available based on existing low-income programs ( https://www.pge.com/en/account/billing-and-assistance/financ... )

So yes in order to get the discount low-income customers need to declare income and may need to verify that income with tax documents (depending on how much fraud these program plan to tolerate) but other customers do not need to provide income information.

Vortex shedding is a constitutional right!

Breaking news: SCOTUS overturns precedent making vortex shedding a federal right thereby allowing each state to pass laws for or against vortex shedding. Some say that vortex-based decisions should be rooted in Judeo-Christian values, while others believe that fluids should be free to express themselves at any Reynolds number.
Yes, federated queries (external tables) are supported but that is a lot slower than ingesting the data into Snowflake's storage and querying it. Since Snowflake's pricing model is based on computation time, querying external tables are usually more costly because of worse performance.
> Maybe we should just make taking advantage of people illegal

How do you define this in law?

Many of us tap-tap on keyboards and charge people thousands of dollars per week for that. Are we taking advantage of them? We then watch as the staff who works hard to clean our office buildings make 1/10th of what we make. Are we taking advantage of them? If someone comes to my house on a weekend and charges me double the normal price to unclog my toilet or get my heat working again, am I being taken advantage of? If there’s a shortage of generators in an area and I drive in a truckload of them from hundreds of miles away and make them available at a profit to myself, am I taking advantage?

Different people will have legitimately differing opinions on questions above. “Make it illegal to take advantage of people via laws” is much easier to say than to do.
Unfortunately, phantasms[1] and mass delusions are also very much possible. Increasingly, opinions don't need to be compatible with factual reality to be believed.

>>> Snap and Flatpacks are solving problems that don't need solving for most people. Shitty sandboxing that doesn't even work and makes my app slower? I don't want it.

To me that also raises the issue of Snap/Flatpacks and Wayland both handling part of sandboxing/capabilities.
Ultimately if you want to handle how your apps can be run and got resort back to lower primitive and you’re handling very different things like files acces(Snap/Flatpacks) and visual elements(Wayland) and maybe got back to the Linux kernel to handle that.
To me, this problem should be fixed with legislation. Even if security flaws are obviously bad, it’s not as bad as taking away time/energy from profit centers. Even if there’s a fine, that will only get factored into the cost of doing business while still being more profitable than actually caring about security unless the cost is high enough. That might be quite bad for startups who need to compete with established players who can spend more on this problem. What’s the solution?

There is a gulf between the quality of the sources we're looking at here and I want to highlight it so it's not hidden behind links.

My supplied source in the GP comment is an n=27,715 cross sectional survey supplied to any adult who has transitioned in the past, it's not detransition specific and it's sort of like a trans census taken yearly.

Your first source is an n=237 online survey on a detransition specific website which did make any effort to verify if any of the poll answerers were trans at any point.

Your second source is an n=100 anonymous poll posted on social media. This could well have been a strawpoll on twitter.
Sure, but that's a bit different. What I'm talking about is that I want the "awesome bar" to be just a plain URL bar and not be overloaded with other functions like search. You can get very close to this with a few setting changes.

Whether or not you can enable the search bar is unrelated to this. You can enable the search bar without changing the behavior of the "awesome bar". In my personal preferred configuration, I don't enable the search bar and I disable searching in the awesome bar. When I search, I use the search engine's website. That's just my personal preference and I'm not recommending it to others. I'm just mentioning it to illustrate that the two things are independent of each other.

I've had a great time reading founder/investor letters from Stripe [1] and Amazon [2] so far. Really interesting insights about a certain domains, articulated clearly and in a succinct fashion.

Gumroad's public board meetings [3] offer a similar kind of look behind the scenes.

High blood glucose levels are literally toxic. This will damage every cell in your body. Your body can buffer sugar intake to an extent in order to maintain homeostasis but over time this tends to cause insulin resistance. A little sugar is fine but larger amounts are poisonous. The exact limit depends on a number of factors such as muscle mass and liver glucagon level.
If I understand currently, they measured it at the 69th percentile for the full test across all test takers, so definitely still impressive.

What about little kids with epilepsy? They haven't had years of sugar to get damaged. Maybe they're susceptible for early onset damage?

> It is not that ketones are some magic thing. Only that sugar is rocket fuel for the brain so it should not be used without care.

The keto diet for epilepsy (psychiatry/cancer mostly copy it as far as I know) needs high ketone levels (at least 2).

Even doing carnivore (0 carbs) with medium fat/protein won't help, you won't achieve the blood numbers & won't get results.

You NEED to get ~80-90% of calories from fat to achieve consistent blood levels (ketones 2-4+, glucose 4) for epilepsy version.

Think of it as a drug dosage. Some people might need lower dosage, but the standard is at the dosage I wrote (blood test GKI 1-2).
Just because something is less pleasant doesn't automatically mean it's good. On the surface, it would be weird for ketones to improve brain activity - after all "keto flu" is a thing, and it is definitely is not a state of high performance. And if ketones were that healthy then diabetics would the the healthiest people of all. Instead, they are poison, and this is well documented.

It's a well-known fact that a tiny focused group can have a major impact on the society;

It’s Pareto essentially. And yes it’s in everything. In any organization a well organized minority will exert power over the disorganized majority, or remainder of people.

It’s why you see ridiculous municipal codes, etc. Small but well organized groups of people create pressure to bring them into existence. Opposition to it is disorganized and apathetic. The minority group can’t be too small but because it’s small it’s easier to organize a larger group of outer supporters (sympathizers, useful idiots, etc) that will march with you on a nice Saturday afternoon, etc. Now your fringe idea looks like it is majority held and enough otherwise disinterested people say “sure, whatever”.
