I have the impression that there are a lot of people doing interesting things on their own and probably not sharing them. Maybe in big part because they are scared of getting rejected

I want to be able to see what “normal” people are doing. Would love something like a GitHub/stack exchange of people just openly and curiously sharing their research with other “normal” people

“Serious” research is just too serious and exclusive for people who are not doing it to become researchers nor care about scientific prestige
A good compromise between this (lots of routing work on the internet) and random prefixes all the time (lots of work on the end user networks) is setting DHCP-PD to do consistent PD assignments. Sure, you're space isn't portable between carriers if you move/have redundant internet but you can also rely on a static address in your assigned range working 3 years from now even if your router is offline for a month. ATT fiber does this. I haven't done a survey of who else.

This is your opinion on what the default behavior of nil should be, fortunately, We can disagree and you can set a metatable that errors on nil, I will choose to do or not do that depending on the object.

assert() also exists for this very reason.

PS: there is a performance penalty between doing d["foo"] v d.foo, one expects an expression, the other does not. So it cannot be compiled. lua also errors on use of a nil value, d.foo() will error, d.foo + 3 will also error. So while it does "silently return a marker" it will crash on runtime.

> A huge amount of what I suffer with is not physical pain.

It's not just physical suffering that she's supposedly immune to. She's also immune to all psychological suffering as well. And she is married, has kids, and is perfectly healthy. If she's in fact the real deal (I don't know this myself, but I haven't seen anyone debunking her) then dismissing her as an outlier would be a remarkable form of complacency. If the effect can be understood and replicated, suffering will become fully as needless as it deserves to be, with its final eradication mourned probably as much as the death of smallpox.

> If LLMs are beating humans in theory of mind tasks, your theory of mind is incorrect.

Or, LLMs have better theory of mind than most humans do, which is the finding of that study. Is it metaphysically impossible? If your mental image of how LLM cognition works is the same type of expert system that Searle was writing about back in the day, it's refreshingly bizarre to read how LLMs appear to work:

Stats are really misleading when boiled down to binary decisions.

While polls generally show that roughly half of US voters plan to vote for Trump, that's in the context of only being given the option of Trump or Biden. Most polls I remember seeing since 2016 show roughly 1/3 of the US really consider themselves Trump supporters.

The Israel/Palestine question has similar problems. A binary poll question sets the context that a respondent needs to be on one side or the other, and that supporting or opposing both sides isn't an option. It also puts respondents in a position to have to pick a side regardless of how much or little they may know about the situation. With no more context, a 50:50 split could mean simply that most people don't know enough to decide and randomly pick a side instead.
Your rant doesn't make sense. The solution is already known and you mention it: ULA. It's not a compromise. You don't need to bite the bullet. Just use it. It's designed for this use case. Fixed IP address for every single device.
Its not some accident Google ended up with all this data.

There is a reason they give you Free stuff like video, email, chat, search etc.

People have forgotten the only way (in the past) to solve the Info Explosion that results when networks grow, is trying to understand Peoples needs better. That was the intention behind data collection. But ofcourse the story went off the rails when advertisors and marketers and politicians found value in all that data.

But there is an upper bound to how much value there is, just like there is an upper bound to how much milk you can extract from a cow.

Once you build huge ever scaling infra assuming there is no upper bound and then an upper bound is hit, what happens?

Nothing good. Excess cows start getting slaughtered. Larger the system. Greater the over run. More slaughtering. Dont expect what you got for free to stay free. Expect all your data to be sold off at fire sales.

The simple answer to your question I think is that the vast, vast majority of the US does not have a functional local government that does any of those things.

I remember calling the police about the rifle firing(this was not on acreage), and they acted like I was annoying them!

From what one developer in Florida told me, the local government doesn't want to pay for roads, services, or amenities for any new developments, so requires they set up an HOA to cover it. Seeing as over 80% of new build homes are in an HOA, I tend to believe that.
The bubble mania is incredibly destructive to the real economy

> Tesla lists Elon Musk as a founder but he didn't found it. He was an early investor who essentially took over the company.

He invested in a 6 month startup that consisted of an office and desk. Tesla had no money, no plan, and a borrowed electric kit car. Musk was the early investor.

From a practical point of view, Musk was indeed the founder.

In spite of all your criticism, neither Tesla nor SpaceX would exist without Musk, and Musk has greatly pushed forward the technology of both, creating two new major industries.

We are more than due for an AI tech correction. NVIDIA is increasingly getting overvalued if not it already is due to the unsustainable AI hype with low competition.

All hanging on the geo-political risks and US tensions with China around Taiwan, risking disruption to the semiconductor industry and over relying on Taiwan as the top supplier.

If it were me, I would start selling. History has taught us that the same happened with Intel in the 1990s when it peaked with the PC revolution and the same happened with Cisco when it peaked with the growth of the internet.

Very concerning.

Nvidia solved a hard problem and their competitors all failed. I spent years with an AMD card growing progressively more annoyed at their self-inflicted apparent inability to multiply matrices on demand. Nvidia had nothing to do with their failure, unless they had some sort of high-level mole in AMD's driver teams.

Hitting the only successful company in a difficult field with legal assaults is not the obvious path to success. Nvidia has nothing close to a monopoly; there is no moat and they operate in a commodity space that will behave like a normal competitive market. It just happens that their competitors were wall-to-wall complacent about how quickly the hardware world can change and they stupidly thought graphics cards were for displaying graphics. It turns out graphics cards are for building AI and crypto markets.

I met one of the founders of Coder.com, he's a really cool dude. It's a pity that it is a product aimed more at enterprises than individual developers, else it would have far more developer mindshare.

Unlike, say, GitHub Codespaces, running something like this on your own infra means your incentives and Coder.com's are aligned, i.e. both of you want to reduce your cloud costs (as opposed to, say, GitHub running on Azure gives them an opportunity and incentive to mark up on Azure cloud costs).
It's only for people nutty enough to use their cloud services like Behance. And I agree with your second point.
> one that respects people’s privacy rights while also allowing companies to recoup costs for services they provide

Big tech is a bit like tobacco companies at some point - we’ve convinced people and ourselves that certain things are good, even healthy while they’re actually the opposite.

We, the people who build and maintain these services, are in a position to offer pushback to ensure the humans and their privacy is higher than any other concerns.

> Companies like Google have had access to our ...

I hear people saying things like that occasionally, and have to wonder... why did you do that to yourself?

And why are you assuming everyone else was similarly unwise?

"Companies like Google" certainly haven't had that kind of info from me, nor from several people I know, as we've avoided the vast majority of their products.
I've already accepted this whole thread is a digression, but I keep getting pulled in. Calling out my dislike for Gvisor on a thread lauding a 5x tcp performance they found in it felt on topic to me at the time.
> Companies like Google have had access to our full email, search, location, photo roll, video viewing, docs, etc history for 10+ years. I don't think also having our LLM prompts fundamentally changes this picture..

Which is why I don't have a Google account.

As a cost-to-entry for a casual player, this seems like a pretty hard sell. I'd rather just find something else to play personally, than deal with a webcam and some invasive recording situation to play.
It's difficult for me to understand the thinking here. Nvidia is dominant because AMD and Intel completely dropped the ball on investing in frameworks to compete with CUDA. Microsoft... invested in OpenAI when it was clear that the newer batch of generative models had legs. OpenAI isn't really anticompetitive as far as I can tell - they just have the most money with which to vacuum up the most data and hire the top engineers.

Investigating is fine, but if the concern is the direction of AI in general then that's a job for legislation, not antitrust action. I.e. a job that Congress kind of sucks at.
One day when I leave, I swear I'm going to write a tell-all book about this industry. Until then, here's some condensed info.

To set the stage, this is a blue-collar industry, and what happens, so I've been told, is quite common in blue-collar industries. A lot of good ol' boy networking, people getting promoted who have no business being promoted, and as a consequence, a lot of corruption, ineptitude, and inefficiencies. The software in this space just flat out suck and anyone at a FAANG company would be appalled at how we write software. It's literally longshoremen trying to run software businesses.

On the other hand, as a terminal, it's very hard not to make money, so there's a lot of players, and unfortunately a lot of, at least shady deals.

I'm involved with a company that sells to terminals that don't have home-grown software systems. I don't have that much info on terminals that have their own software staff, however, there just isn't that much breakthroughs in the space. It's a conservative industry with a lot of money already, so there traditionally have been little incentive with high risks.

In addition to the aversion to risk, there's a lack of software product and engineering strategy to invest in optimization properly. One major vendor, I was told by a colleague did invest substantially, failed, and "it almost bought the entire company down." My company has dabbled before. We've had a couple of PhDs on staff. We even had a neighbor search solution like in the article developed. It worked in simulation and testing, and failed miserably in real life. The customer didn't take it, and we never had the vision to actually salvage anything from the effort.

There are a few vendors in this space, but again, the landscape is pretty sad. I know of one that are flat out frauds. They exist because the CEOs used to be in the industry and have credibility. They're still around because they're able to con non-technical terminal managers and string them along for a while. A few more maybe have 1 or 2 competent data scientists, but that's not enough. I've worked with one company that is good and is easily the most qualified, but they have never had the marketing and leadership to make themselves the billions they should be worth. They also simultaneously price themselves out of range for most terminals.

The industry is changing, though, because private equity has gotten involved in many companies. They have taken over some internal initiatives and basically dragged many of these good ol' boys against their will, or forced them out. They've also forced companies to partner with tech giants to address these issues. IMO, this is the only way we will see supply chain optimization revolutions any time soon.
These are fair, but I'd argue that they're still largely security theatre, and, to your point, worsen the emotional experience a lot. As a product manager, I think it's a fair shake to be like "We expect that generally your Windows machine is secure, and we do a little extra here, no worries mate!" Not that I believe the priors embedded in that pitch; I don't. But, most customers do already, and it's probably a bad plan to make them doubt those priors.

Anyway, you said it precisely at the end: don't remind the customers how creepy this is.

It wouldn't be weird if they simply picked one side and stuck with it. They put USB-C on Mac, because obviously Lightning couldn't fill the role they wanted with Thunderbolt. And then they made iPhones Lightning because... they wanted to sell IP to cable manufacturers. And they made the Magic Trackpad/Keyboard accessories use Lightning because... why again? It's just USB, it probably takes more work to make a Lightning peripheral than a USB-C one.

The more you think about MFi and Lightning design patents the harder it is to believe that they were simply being honest and sticking to their word.
I don’t understand why the US government is moving to cripple NVidia. It’s not Jensen’s fault that he’s a visionary CEO who anticipated this market and invested in CUDA.

If you think of it in share market terms, it's a 4.2% dividend from a stock with a long-term price growth rate of ~7%. Not only that but you can use leverage (e.g. like a margin trader) in the form of a mortgage. In the USA, you can even lock your interest rate for 30 years, and only re-fix the rate when it drops!

It's very profitable!
> Most people don't do anything worth privacy protecting.

That may be true, but most people still benefit indirectly from the actions of the few who do have something to hide (e.g. protestors, journalists, whistleblowers).

If we want the masses to continue to benefit from the actions of those few, then we need to find a middle ground. Someplace where the masses are private enough that a truly private individual can hide among them without sticking out like a sore thumb. You don't need to hide, you just need to be able to hide.
