Shinier than diamonds, for one. Much cheaper than even lab grown diamonds, for two. Almost as hard, and generally even fewer deficits than diamonds (except lab ones which are basically deficit free, just like moissinite).
That is a fair point. The way Lebanon treats Palestinians is terrible and they should not get a free pass when people criticize Israel.

Unfortunately one of the doors came off mid-flight...
The ill-conceived post-911 War on Terror was cheered on by Israel and its supporters, but it would have probably happened either way. Osama Bin Laden specifically mentions Israel in his motivation for his terrorist attacks, but his overarching argument for attacking the US is more about western powers empowering dictators across the middle east, suppressing the local population and getting control over ressources. I honestly doubt much would be different in this regard if Israel had been founded in Pomerania instead.

The argument becomes more interesting when talking about the last 10 years. The US actually does not have a lot of self-interested reasons to keep engaging in the ME as much as they do. Controlling energy and trade is useful, but containing China seems to be the more pressing issue, and binding a lot of ressources in the ME might be dangerous going forward. Either way, it is the center point of the world, so controlling it, or plunging it into chaos, both benefit a power on the margins like the US.
The thing is: there is no LAM in rabbit r1.

Or, you can nsay that an automation is a LAM (it's not).

With the definition of the Silvio Savarese’s article (from the podcast you indicate):

> To be clear, an LAMs job isn’t just turning a request into a series of steps, but understanding the logic that connects and surrounds them. That means understanding why one step must occur before or after another, and knowing when it’s time to change the plan to accommodate changes in circumstances. It’s a capability we demonstrate all the time in everyday life. For instance, when we don’t have enough eggs to make an omelet, we know the first step has nothing to do with cooking, but with heading to the nearest grocery store. It’s time we built technology that can do the same.

**

The definition provided by Silvio Savarese highlights the ability of a LAM to not only transform a request into a series of steps but also to understand the underlying logic that connects and surrounds these steps. This includes the ability to adjust the plan as circumstances change.

Based on this definition, claiming that rabbit r1 is a LAM-oriented assistant seems to be inaccurate. If it does not demonstrate the ability to understand and adapt to contextual changes in a logical and effective manner, it cannot be classified as a genuine LAM.

For a true LAM, it is crucial that the technology not only follows a predefined sequence of steps but also understands the logic and purpose behind each step, adjusting as necessary to achieve the desired goal. If rabbit r1 does not meet these criteria, its classification as a LAM indeed needs to be reviewed.

And, with that in mind I can assure you that rabbit r1 it's not a LAM oriented assistant as they claim.
> > Given that designation as a separate state, complaining that they can't vote in Israeli elections is like complaining that Canadians can't vote in US elections.

> I don’t remember the US ever occupying Canada.

I'm confused by this.

Normally under international law, it is illegal to allow people in occupied territory to vote or otherwise integrate them into civil government.

Israel has even gotten criticized by the UN human rights council for allowing elections in occupied territory (in golan heights, so not Palestinian occupied territory) http://undocs.org/A/HRC/37/L.18

We don't have 25% unemployment among those able to build AI hardware. We don't have 25% unemployment among those able to grow pure silicon crystals, or able to create semiconductor fabs.

There are actual capacity constraints. You're not going to change them very much by printing a ton of money.
Out of idle curiosity, how did you arrive at Zionism from a non-jewish and leftist background? That has to be one of the rarest identities to simultaneously associate with.

I find work in Europe had more social breaks during the day, but my 35h schedule (working 40 and getting paid catch-up days off to be used monthly) still ended up looking like 70h weeks reported as 40 with no extra catch-up days and no overtime pay.

Contrast to Canada, my 40h week does average to 40h and if I do overtime it is paid (provided I get it approved ahead of time) and I get to take that back as unpaid time off later. Though I am told to report my real hours in my timesheet provided they are 8h per day. So not my real hours.

A lot of this comes from being salaried vs. hourly, but I'm not really hourly other than on paper. As salaried I was expected to do a lot more unpaid overtime though under the guise of flexibility. Oddly the flexibility was rarely in my favor :p
In case it makes McDonalds feel better I lived in Galway for a while and there was never much confusion between McDonalds and Supermacs. In general Supermacs was more expensive and lower quality but it would serve you drunk after coming out of the pub. Also they had a popular line of messy curry fries.
No, that's incorrect. It's not more efficient at all, and even if it was it would still be less efficient to do it in the toolkit instead of in a separate shim. I explained this in detail in my other comment.

Also the testing and validation always needs to happen irrespective of where the shim layer is shipped, because this is still a new major release of a relatively large library. Having a shim for one widget out of many isn't going to meaningfully reduce the need for testing.

If you could mention what these programs are that are somehow completing the rest of their GTK4 ports in a small amount of time, refactoring everything to use the new improved widgets and rendering system at incredible speed, but are taking hundreds of thousands of man hours to replace the word HBox with Box, maybe someone can look at them and advise them on how to do that faster.
I could be wrong but I think it's an intentional misrepresentation of Israel's Law of Return (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Return), which allows any Jewish person to move to Israel and then become a citizen. It doesn't mean that every Jewish person anywhere in the world is automatically an Israeli citizen whether they want to be or not, but some people like to say that.
Ha! No, they're not using metrology resistors, just ripping people off.
Moissanite is sub $100/carat if you have the right vendor. Not expensive at all.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. It may or may not be like theft, but either way, if one of us trained an AI on Hollywood movies, you best believe we'd get sued for eleventy billion dollars and lose. It's only fair that we hold corporations to the same standard.
I don't understand - what do you suggest as an alternative to Gvisor?

> large multiple performance decrease per dollar spent

Gvisor helps you offer multi-tenant products which can be actually much cheaper to operate and offer to customers, especially when their usage is lower than a single VM would require. Also, a lot of applications won't see big performance hits from running under Gvisor depending on their resource requirements and perf bottlenecks.

No, they are saying that since CSAM fell outside of the scope of the report that for the purposes of this report it is not coded as illegal speech.

Gently: I think there's a better way to phrase this, and you still have time to edit. It's strong but once you're at paragraph 4....once you're "saying propaganda war/colonialist/apartheid/you're in a propaganda bubble".........let me start again. We all have agency, and denying agency/telling someone they're in a bubble and not able to think for themselves, is one of the easiest ways for them to ignore your invitation for them to seize agency and think for themselves, via consuming the media* you recommend.

* they would say propaganda. It's a "you're rubber I'm glue, whatever you say..." type deal

One of my previous homes was in a neighborhood that put a security camera at the entry roundabout, ostensibly because “teenagers were doing drugs.” It was one of my deciding factors to leave that neighborhood.
Yeah I agree, something like that. Honestly though I think it's more than that, I like building "toys" that are fun to use (and help with productive work). I don't think anyone's hiring toymakers, I might need to go solo myself if I'm determined.

And of course my deep fear is I'd find that perfect job and nothing about my habits would change.

You can't "boil off" the atmosphere. You need to accelerate the gas molecules past the planetary escape velocity, otherwise they'll just cool down and drop back onto the surface.

There's no realistic way to evacuate that much gas (the surface pressure on Venus is almost 100 atmospheres!).

One option is first to cover the surface of Venus with water, by first creating giant orbital mirrors to let the atmosphere to cool. Then you can sequester the carbon dioxide as elemental carbon under the water surface. Oxygen released in the process will be naturally consumed by all the underoxidized minerals present on Venus.
I agree with both the original author's thoughts and yours. Surrogate keys are generally necessary but also overrated. Natural keys will always remain important. I think it's important to keep natural keys as reliable as possible whenever you control the system. Creating a new surrogate key every time the data moves creates it's own headache as you have to keep track of more and more keys referring to the same concept.
> That's just a more polite way to say tax. Being permissionless is cool, but it's still tax in my dict.

It most certainly is not. They are doing a work for the network and getting remunerated for it. That's not a tax. That's what is commonly referred to as a job. A kid that delivers newspapers over the weekend is not taxing the kid that decides not to. Both make a free decision on what to do with their time and effort given how much it's worth to them. Running a validator takes skill, time, opportunity cost, and you assume certain risks of capital loss. You are getting remunerated for it.

> And, who is going to be able to have a larger percentage of their funds staked, a poor or a whale? You need a (mostly) fixed amount of liquidity to use the thing.

Indeed, the protocol cannot solve wealth inequality. That's an out of protocol issue. It cannot cure cancer either.

> In short, I don't see anything preventing me to run 10000 validators with 32 ETH each with very similar cost to running just one. It's certainly not linear.

There are some fixed costs, indeed. But they are rather negligible. You need a consumer-grade PC (1000 USD) and consumer-grade broadband to solo stake. Or you can use a Liquid Staking Derivative which will have no fixed costs but will have a 10% cut. The curve of APY as a function of stake is very flat. Almost anything else around us has greater barriers of entry or economies of scale.

The National Review is an extremely right-wing News Source citing a House Oversight Committee letter written by two absolute political hacks: Jim Jordan and James Comey. It attempts to hint at Fauci commissioning a paper that attempted to debunk the lab theory, but is very imprecise and hand-wavy. The article never comes close to backing your initial claim that:

> Fauci said from day 1 that this was not a lab leak and anyone saying that should be discredited

Let's go straight to the source of that National Review article, the House Oversight Committee's 2022 letter to Secretary Becerra [1]. If wade through the innuendo in the letter, it's pretty clear that:

Dr. Kristen Anderson sent an email to Dr. Fauci expressing her worries about whether the furin cleavage site in SARS2 was naturally evolved or a product of genetic engineering. To address Anderson's concerns, Dr. Fauci organized an online meeting via Zoom with her and a group of other specialists, which successfully dispelled Anderson's fears.

The fact is, following the Zoom conference, Anderson, along with three other participants, authored a research paper on the origins of COVID-19 that was published in the prestigious journal, Nature, in March 2020. This paper was not directed or "commissioned" by either Fauci or Collins. While Anderson did share advance copies potentially with them and others for their remarks, a common academic convention, there wasn't any attribution given for their possible input. Suggesting that Anderson wrote the paper to advance Dr. Fauci's political agenda is just (yes) conspiratorial nonsense.

Republicans in general don't like China or the concept of expertise (almost entirely because the CCP has "Communist" in the name, and expert opinions tend to refute the majority of things Republicans fight for). Dunking on China is evergreen political fodder for the right, no matter how outlandish. In 2020, (and still today, as far as I've ever read), the preponderance of scientific evidence points to the origin of covid being zoonotic.

The atmosphere of speculation by politically-motivated buffoons didn't help clarify any of this, and continues to confuse people today.

Good. Diamond is a wonder material that would bring about dramatic changes if it were more widely available. Not just grit or gemstones, it’s conductive and self lubricating properties are woefully under utilized. Imagine ways, diamond coated shafts, and bearings that last billions of cycles. Not to mention its semiconductor properties.
Regulating your immune system can mean many things. Gabor Mate and Robert Sapolsky for example just talk about how too much stress can affect your immune system and if you have the genes, you may be more susceptible than others.

The good news of all this is that immune therapies are entering their golden age. Hopefully that means in the future you can be cured of these immune based diseases as we find the immune cell culprits like macrophages here.

Funny how it happens like that. Maurice Ravel's most famous piece, Bolero, was written intended as a simple warmup for his orchestra.
I don't want to counter it. They have their opinion and that's fine, I don't agree nor disagree.

I'm trying to say that we don't need any further advances in the science of ML or computers - we could already do it with a monumental lot of engineering. ChatGPT is what I meant by saying "the dumbest system - raw input to raw output based on conversations".

Several engineering steps are necessary IMHO:

- go through the training data and clean it up - likely what OpenAI does right now, but it's going to take a lot more than they have done so far

- make it a complex system with thoughts, memories, reasoning loops, planning, goal setting, self introspection... - this is what many amateurs are trying but the professionals seem to think their time is better used elsewhere right now

- careful machine code-level optimization of the software for purpose-built hardware

So, no new technologies or science are strictly necessary - "just" man-centuries of engineering.

Right now companies and researchers seem to think that there are more gains to be made at the fundamental scientific/technological level. But if that doesn't pan out, it doesn't mean AGI will never exist - just perhaps later, more energy consuming and less powerful than they thought.

Just imagine how dumb you would look if everybody heard the first thought your brain came up with, you couldn't stop yourself from saying it, think about it to consider the implications and meaning - or at least be aware you're saying it... I'm a sleep talker and the bullshit I say without any recollection of it is just insane, and frankly very similar to a hallucinating ML model.
I have never worked at a FAANG. Not only do typical companies pay much less, there isn't much in the way of stock packages. Usually there is some kind of ESPP, which is just a low-risk way for us to gamble on the stock price going up.

FAANGS are unusual in that they actually do reward productive employees.

I'm the top performer on my current team. After 3 years of no raises, I threw a bitch fit, and after a bunch of bureaucratic bullshit, I ended up with +6%. I have 0 stock or benefits because I am a contractor, which is a whole other load of shit I could complain about.
But is this actually a problem for a company? I think most companies can only afford second rate talent with the top tier talent going to FAANG companies anyway.

What most companies are really looking for is undervalued high performers. And there's probably a lot of those still that haven't moved to the bay area.

I think MBA's these days have decided that they'll hold labor costs low by not rewarding high performers, and then hire whoever they can to fit their budget, but then have a yearly 5% layoff to hold their employee's feet to the fire.

And then those same MBA's get a bonus for keeping costs low, meanwhile enjoying their beach houses on the weekends.

Granted it sucks to be an individual contributor, but if you're a manager, you have incentives for cutting costs to the bone.
> France and Poland from the revolutionary war

France is our oldest ally. But it (and Poland) are weaker and have been less reliably at our side than Britain has been.
It will likely be amazing, Sam Altman said that the step between 4 and 5 will be like the one between 3.5 and 4. You can of course doubt him, but we'll see...

I guess it will be this year, some guy working at OpenAI already posted "4+1=5" on Twitter, which is suggestive.
The primary reason for having an employer in your life at all is for them to pay you, so the primary measure of a good employer is good pay. Yes, there are other factors, but many of those factors (read: benefits) have known monetary values which are effectively equivalent to pay.

There is no such thing as a good employer who doesn't pay their workers competitively.

While this may not be your intent, your post sounds a lot like a manager narrative that "sure, our pay and benefits leave bit to be desired, but we have a great culture and we're well managed". That's not a thing. A great culture is one where everyone is paid enough to live comfortably, and when the company does well financially, workers do well financially. The primary measure of managing well is paying your workers well.

The things management does besides paying their workers simply do not have enough impact on workers' lives that they can "manage" well enough to make more difference in an employee's life than a 20% increase in pay, let alone a 50% increase in pay as you describe. Beyond behaving at all in an appropriate manner, i.e. not verbally, sexually, or physically abusing your employees, your actions as a manager simply don't impact workers' lives as much as that much money does.

And in fact, other attributes of management are correlated with pay in my experience. The company you describe, that pays well but is otherwise terribly managed, is not one I have experienced. In most cases, a company that pays well is great to work for in other ways, and a company that pays worse is terrible to work for in other ways. The management mindset that is stingy toward workers doesn't stop at pay.
Not even that, spark gaps and coherers :)

There's a really easy way around this, and that is to offer high salaries to the authors to join the company and reimplement their work.

For researchers, in all honestly that is a very, very good reason to go GPL. If someone wants to profit off of it, it's not that they can't use the code commercially, they are just forced to hire you or pay you to dual-license it.

There's no reason why a company whose stock goes up $10B due to your model can't cut you a few million of that.

> it supported USB-3 speeds for one device (the first iPad Pro)

I'm always unsure about this because it only supported USB 3 host for one specific accessory, the camera adapter. I question whether that implementation was just a hack or something that could've scaled to proper USB client support and others.

There was never a USB 3 Lightning to USB-A or USB-C cable.
