You have to be careful with percentages in this context as well. People care far more about actual dollar amounts then percentage, for good reason.

Consider someone making $60,000 getting a 10% raise vs someone making $200,000 getting a 5% raise.

The first will get $6,000 more per year, the other will get $10,000.

These days you also have to look at total comp as well.
The problem is more that those failures were entirely preventable and caused by decisions that prioritised economic motives over security. And the manufacturer was squarely to blame, which is also not the case in most accidents.

Even when the industry overall is doing pretty well, we should still scrutinize every incident. There's no such thing as acceptable fatalities.

> JellyJamPreserve is a Raspberry Pi project that uses jack_capture to record audio on the toggle of a switch. It continuously records audio into a 5 minute circular buffer, and when the switch is turned on the buffer is dumped to a file and it starts recording audio to the file until the switch is turned off. This way you can preserve any cool improvisations by recording sounds from the past!

> elector based voting needs to go away

Essentially no major country practices direct election of the chief executive. It's not just the United States.

For instance, in Canada individual voters did NOT vote for Justin Trudeau. He wasn't even on their ballot. They vote only for their local MP, and a bunch of party hacks from the party (or group of parties) with the most MPs pick the Prime Minister. The same is true for most countries with a parliamentary form of government.

At least here Trump and Biden were actually on the ballot. Canadians don't have that luxury. What's worse, only the party's registered members get a vote on their party's selection, and most of the parties actually charge money to belong to them (to its credit, Trudeau's party is not one of these -- you can join the party without having to pay any money, though even with that party it wasn't the case until quite recently).

I sometimes feel like her success is driving me into madness, I feel like Salieri looking at Mozart when I look at her work.

Here is the Alyssa timeline:

* She started programming at ~3 with MIT Scratch. Her Father introduced it to her, he works at Intel and is a very successful person.

* I think around age 11-12 she knew C very well, worked on some low level networking stuff for games, she wanted to make an MMO.

* At 12 she made a project to convert LLVM IR to MIT Scratch.

* She was involved with libreboot, not sure to what degree.

* She was 15 when she worked to the open source RPI firmware.

* Interned at FSF

* I think she was ~16 when she developed the Panfrost GPU driver.

I can't help but wonder how my life would be if I was a native English speaker. Lived in USA and had a great father and mentors like hers. I gave everything to programming, everything I have to give. Wonder if I am hitting the limits of my nature or just had worse nurture.

Threading doesn't necessarily mean following the full function-call convention on every transition. A switch/case approach is one way, but it's also possible to jump intra-function without following the calling convention, i.e. a goto with a pointer-based target.

I say possible in the sense that hardware supports it. The standard C language doesn't support this, but GCC's GNU C does support it as one of its extensions.

I find an analogies useful in argument. They allow me to apply the logic someone is applying in an unfamiliar domain to a domain that is familiar to all, as a way of seeing how the logic holds up. Naturally, if the domains are too dissimilar, that becomes the focus of discussion. Like all tools, analogies can be used poorly.

Propaganda is media designed to manipulate your opinion, without going to the trouble of rationally convincing you to change your mind. And yeh, most of what we see day to day is propaganda. If anything, everyone's under-using that word.
Then maybe cite the definition you're using? And explain why it doesn't fit every kind of opinion broadcasting. Like, are flyers for a protest "propaganda"? Is grafitti propaganda? Is writing an opinion essay propaganda? Hosting a blog propaganda? Where does it stop?

There will be a pullback after the initial irrational exuberance, and the big spenders on Nvidia cards will pull back on that spending as the expected returns are not realized (or not fully realized).

Variations of this story repeat over and over and over again throughout the decades of tech.

After the pullback, given some time, AI will realize significant real world value and the overall market will be far larger (15-20 years out). That process takes longer than the exuberance suggests early on.

Nvidia will pull back when that spending decline happens (yes, there will be a drop in their sales, they'll hit a wall and it'll go south for a while). The question is where the wall is at. They're speeding at it like Cisco was during the hype of the dotcom boom (and Cisco was growing at a crazy rate quarter over quarter, accelerating, which is a particularly unsustainable event). Tons of AI customers will die off to go along with the big spenders freezing and or reducing their spending.
Fine, you can ignore my previous comment, that's just my answer to the question that this discussion ultimately takes you to. But I feel like you are just sitting on the sidelines making strawmen and playing pedantic games instead of saying anything constructive.

The original comment said:

> If you really think about what an LLM is you would think there is no way that leads to general purpose AI.

This is an inflammatory way to state an extreme position on a well-discussed debate over whether next-token prediction can lead to general intelligence. The original commenter clearly believes it can't get you there. If you want to say that with any authority, you need to have an answer for what is different between what we consider general intelligence (for most people, this is simply human intelligence) and what models are capable of. This is the question at the heart of artificial intelligence.

I challenged them to explain their answer. I made no claims, I asked no one to prove anything wrong. If it is obvious that LLMs can't be AGI, the answer to how an LLM differs from human intelligence is also obvious, right?
I'll admit that I'm in well over my head here. I'm no banker, and I've never had a realkredit loan myself. But here goes.

I believe the difference is that mortgages are tied to the individual property, and thus individually priced, whereas building bonds are part of an emission series. That means there's a liquid market, where all you have to do to pay back the loan is buy your bond type, not the particular bond for your property.

And that makes it different from a mortgage that is a contract between a single lender and a single borrower. There, you are stuck doing business with whomever owns the contract, and they can use that against you when negotiating the price.
The market cap is irrational and I submit as evidence Llama 3.

AI won’t need huge amounts of computing resources. It will need moderate amounts of computing resources.

The huge amount of computing resources seen today are the result of immature technology that uses resources inefficiently. As the technology improves, the capability-per-FLOP will increase and AI will move on-device.

> Logical reasoning is a higher order skill that often requires formal training. It's not a natural ability for human beings.

I've read your comments here, and while I understand your point I think you have it backwards. The only reason we formed societies is because we evolved an innate a theory of mind to reason about how others might be thinking and feeling. That's reasoning. We have a natural ability to do limited arithmetic, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hunt, gather or track enough to endure winters, or keep track of our sheep or children for that matter. That's reasoning.

Reasoning is a natural ability for human beings, but we also carry a lot of evolutionary impulses that add a lot of noise to the decision process, eg. observation->judgment->[set of possible decisions], judgment has "reason" as one path that adds to the set of possible decisions, but there remain other paths we inherited from our evolutionary roots. Education is training that suppresses poorly calibrated judgment paths that lead to frequent mistakes in the decision set, but reasoning remains, thus education improves the signal to noise ratio of our decision making.

So I 100% disagree that an individual cannot separate cause and effect without training. They will just be worse at it than someone who is trained to filter out those impulses that lead us to jump to conclusions, eg. they will produce more noise / a larger set of possibilities than reason would allow.
They mention machine vision as a use case, but would this be suitable at all for LLMs?
> as a trained philosopher, I don't buy into the whole AGI nonsense

Can you elaborate on why you believe AGI is nonsense?

> ignoring the way more value-generating aspects (synthesis, categorization, summarization, etc.)

Summarization is one of the most common applications of LLMs I see. I expect if I knew more precisely what you meant by the other two we'd find examples of those, too. Everybody is trying to find out what these tools can do and throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. People are doing exactly what one would expect them to do.

i do agree, especially when adding several notes in quick succession the delay is rather bad.
Israel, contrary to generally agreed upon international law, considers East Jerusalem as a part of Israel. The autochtonous Palestinians living there are eligible for Israeli citizenship which would allow them to vote. However only a tiny fraction has gotten Israeli citizenship as that would legitimise the annexation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_citizenship_law#Annexe...
There is such a valid argument. But the Oslo accords officially created the PA, which rules over the Palestinians in the West Bank. And Gaza is ruled by Hamas. The Palestinians are governed by a mix of Israeli military law and PA laws, which originate from Jordan, I believe.

Some argue that in practice, Israel has control over all the Palestinians, so in practice there is one large apartheid state. I don't believe this argument is valid, for the reasons I outlined above; I think it doesn't make sense for Palestinians to fight for their own State, have a semi-autonomous government that rules over them in practice (two if you count Hamas), fight to get international recognition for this Palestinian State and get it from many countries, but claim that they are being ruled by Tel Aviv.

(Of course the situation is murky - I think the important thing isn't what label we give this, it's to know what the facts are. Those above are the relevant facts, I believe. If you agree with me on the facts but choose to label it in one way vs. another, I think that's a less important discussion at that point.)
The idea behind there being no link between diet and IBD is nonsensical and patently unscientific.

From a layman's point of view, IBD is a single disease. However, in reality, it's an umbrella term for a disease with a common set of symptoms and histological changes that can have a variety of underlying etiologies. Some people are more genetically susceptible, with family histories; others with no family history can undergo changes in gut microbiota composition, genome methylation, among other environmental factors that influence development and progression of the disease.

There are a bevy of peer-reviewed studies that show links between better diets/exercise and an increase in SCFA-producing microbiome components, which are known to suppress inflammatory cytokines and improve innate immune mucosal defense systems and free radical scavenging, promoting gut healing. On the flip side, plenty of people with poor diets and a lack of fiber are at a far higher risk of developing IBD or some other autoimmune disease (like SLE or RA), even certain cancers. It's why one of the most common strategies to address mild IBD and IBS cases is to begin an elimination diet and see which foods are triggers for inflammation.

You are correct that for many, diet isn't the reason why people have IBD. But it does play a huge role in symptom burden and the overall severity and prognosis of the condition. This isn't even considering the effect of environmental contaminants (such as PFOA and BPA) on IBD development, which has been well-known for over a decade now.

Ignoring science for a bit, just from the perspective of common sense, the idea of what you put in your body not affecting you is absurd and ridiculous. It's an idea pushed by gastroenterologists who don't want to risk upset patients who would rather not change their entire diet and lifestyle to mitigate their disease, for a small portion of whom the changes will not work anyways due to an underlying genetic component to the disease. Still, there's nothing to lose and everything to gain from adopting a healthier lifestyle.
There are millions of kids out there eating nothing but toaster waffles who don't have Crohn's. Your son's disease is not your fault — it's bad luck. It's certainly possible that eating a specific way could help manage his symptoms, but that's different from his diet (past or current) being the root cause.

I assume the cost of plastic is about zero, and what you're paying for is shipping, storage, markup, all the middle stuff. Using numbers provided, 1000 sqft of plastic is $10.00, which could be $9.99 logistics and $0.01 material. 1000 sqft of foil is $50.00, with the same $9.99 shipping cost, and $40.01 in material. So that's 4000x. Numbers are kinda fake, but you get the idea.

It’s not just this, you search about anything on google, any subjects there’s hundreds like this. You search if eggs are good you get hundreds saying how they’re great for you and if search if eggs are bad you get another hundred. It’s becoming impossible to be able to sort from good and bad articles. Even the research behind them many times can be paid by the corps. This is not good. There has to be a mechanism that changes this.

I've seen a few of your posts, but never understood how your system works. Is it a random walk over a fully controlled program (with save states)?
Right. In 2011 Jeff Dean ran into Andrew Ng in the Google cafeteria, which AFAIK is where a lot of the modern Google AI started happening. AlexNet won the ImageNet challenge in 2012 (which HN was not impressed with at all at the time - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4611830 ). Attention is All You Need was published in 2017. A lot of behind the scenes, invite-only etc. stuff has been happening for years, and only in the past two years do we see DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, ChatGPT, Gemini, Sora etc.
This is actually an interesting way to look at it... Can a whole country produce a company like Nvidia in one year? Or how much it will cost to create Nvidia today from scratch, and how long it would take?
The valuation is driven by its huge margins and growth in revenue. It's an inevitable pump sorts.

It can't and won't last. There's just too much margin for players not to compete or design their own chips. The only question for capitalizing is how to time your shorts.

Can you speak more about the type of therapy you undertook? I have a few non-threatening but otherwise annoying autoimmune disorders and my bloodwork, diet, and exercise are all good but have wondered if there is some underlying stress that could be exacerbating things. I’ve considered therapy but honestly have no idea where to start as there are a lot of different modalities and each are expensive (both in money and time) to spend 12-26 weeks exploring with sufficient depth before determining whether or not it “worked” and then trying another.

After reading Pollan’s “How to Change your Mind” I have wondered if Psychedelics could be the answer to resetting pathways.
I think this is a great question and one I keep mulling over. I've been evaluating paid AI products like Co-pilot to try to determine if there is enough general purpose value there to justify it's cost.

At $360 a year, the productivity benefit doesn't need to be huge to justify the cost, lets say you would probably want to so $500-1,000/yr in expense reduction.

I can say for certain that I have found roughly enough benefit myself in the past year for various tasks such as writing, presentations and the like. Nothing earth shattering mind you, but time has been saved. The question is, does this scale across an organization? Does everyone get leverage out of Copilot if you give it to them, or do only a fraction of advanced early-adopters? Also does the benefit really hit your bottom line, which may be harder to measure accurately.

Personally, I think it is a toss-up right now, but I suspect many businesses will place their bet anyway. For a 1,000 person organization $360k isn't nothing but also not their biggest expense or even software expense. Likely a rounding error on revenue.

Most businesses will roll out Copilot and/or similar tools broadly for at least a couple of years before starting to really question the ROI. It is pretty clear that the hype and FOMO on this is real. It would likely be better to be the executive who tried AI and found it wanting then to be the one that waited on the sidelines if it turns out to have a big impact.

The hype cycle is just getting warmed up on this.
You cannot.

I used to work for one state's Department of Motor Vehicles.

Part of why REAL ID is such a charley foxtrot is because there exists no such identifier and since every state counts approximately as a sort-of-almost sovereign nation (this is basically what the 10th Amendment guarantees), there is and can be no possible nationwide citizen identifier.

There are about 3500 different counties in the US. All of which may or may not issue their own birth certificates. States are supposed to do that now.
