We used spreadsheets to manage offices -- there is about 15 separate offices -- complete data set (clients, analytics, call logs) and each sheet has many, many different formulas interconnecting all the sheets in the book.

We use Google Sheets, as we changed from Office at the beginning of this year, and 10-15 times a day my tab crashes on Chrome from just existing, let alone when trying to do any operations.

It's a mess, and I'd rather build a simple web app to replace it, but don't have the time, approval, or financial resources to make the switch. So instead of letting me improve 100+ peoples daily workflows, we just suffer.

Go spreadsheets!

But the shareholders voted for it again. If the board and shareholders all agree to pay the CEO a share of their money, who some judge in delaware to disagree.

> If this stock starts being liquidated at any significant volume, the stock will also definitely drop. Even if these holdings are to be doled out & possible exercised, it sure seems like the company could hire & keep a lot of great people with this stock holding.

Yeah but maybe not Elon, and I believe based on this vote the shareholders fear losing him.

This takes 0 reasoning. You’ve given it an exact map to follow to the answer.
With CPU inference you just need a server with 1.28TB RAM. Yes, the inference will be super slow, but it is more realistic than to spend 100k+ dollars for A100 clusters with 1.28TB VRAM.

One example: HP DL580 Gen8. Use the 32GB PC3L-14900L LRDIMMs (HP PN 715275-001; 712384-001, 708643-B21) for a maximum of 3TB. You can get the LRDIMMs in the $32-$45 range on the second-hand market.
I wasn't thinking "use std::collections::LinkedList with an allocator parameter," just that like:

1. The reason linked lists in Rust are difficult is due to lifetimes.

2. Arenas in Rust are parameterized by a lifetime, and that does the stuff you want here, that is, make sure that they can't go away until the arena does.

3. This means this should Just Work.

I haven't written the code because I don't think it would be that useful. I already wrote one terrible linked list based on generational indices that's not useful for anything, so doing it again doesn't sound that fun, haha. Looking at chainlink, it's roughly the same design, except with a Vec instead of the arena, which isn't much of a difference.

> Kind of embarrassed now.

No need to be embarrassed by asking good-faith questions.
Or they can introduce laws that (while also protecting citizens rights) break down the economies of scale advantages currently enjoyed by US big tech.
I thought about that, but then I realized that the acceleration is going to be (more or less) equal and opposite for take-off and landing, so it's more about which one you want first, no?

I do not personally possess the knowledge with which to evaluate this person's claims or belief. Therefore, I have to index on other information to evaluate the plausibility of the claims.

In this case, the other information is 1) proven credentials in the subject matter and 2) general acceptance of his theories by a community with more credentials. He lacks the former and the latter, so I'm disinclined to give his theories much attention.

Plenty of so-called outsiders have made amazing discoveries before, or at least hypothesized what would eventually be an amazing discovery. Maybe that's the case here. Yet skepticism seems warranted without that being considered an ad hominem attack.
You could probably run it as a Q4 (definitely as a Q3) on 4 x A6000 (so on a $25K workstation), although you'd probably also be looking about 3-4 tok/s text generation. I do think that it's a big landmark to have a true GPT4-class model (with some questionable RL though from my initial testing). The best thing about it is that it's almost certainly now the strongest model available for generating synthetic data without any licensing restrictions.

Funnily enough, I don't think it's actually the most interesting model that Nvidia released this week. Nvidia also published this paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.07887 and released https://huggingface.co/nvidia/mamba2-hybrid-8b-3t-128k (Apache 2.0 licensed, to boot). It looks like it matches (and sometimes even edges out) Transformer performance, while having linear scaling for context length. Can't wait for a scaled up version of this.

Nvidia also released a top-notch Llama3 70B SteerLM reward model as well (although RLHFlow/ArmoRM-Llama3-8B-v0.1 might still be a better choice).

> They wind up creating simulations that just enforce their bias (because they write code that assumes their biases).

Agreed, such simulations can not be used to answer specific questions. Same thing also goes for weather / climate models, not just human economy.

> try to predict the stock market -- this is essentially what you are asking

No, it is not what they are asking. Mistake here is confusing what is called microstate and macrostate [0] in statistical mechanics.

E.g. yes you can not predict the path an individual gas molecule will take around a driving vehicle because it is a highly chaotic system [1]. And the same goes for individual stocks at a specific time. However, that does not mean that air flow simulations are not possible or useless, quite the opposite.

What is the opposite of oil drilling?
I look forward to people figuring out how to create a sustainable biosphere out of raw materials when we can't figure out how to keep a pre-existing rich one healthy. Somehow the economic incentives in the outposts will prevent them from screwing things up?

If they are small enough they could keep a lid on the entropy from divergent human behaviors, including the basic tendency to say "I can waste this/destroy this, my action doesn't affect the whole very much". But they also need to be large enough to be functional. If they're all fully automated and people just need to live their lives- wish we could have that on Earth, but economically it will never happen.
For me it’s not about the money. It’s just that I will not (willingly) give a single cent to google. Ever.

Worse, they can pick whistleblowers, people who attempt to unionize, people who have harassment claims against the company, and ask it to retroactively come up with a legal justification for firing them that would pass muster if challenged in court.

It would be for sure a nightmare if it's automating the thing some companies do where they constantly hire their "worst performers" -- but they're doing it anyway with manual labor. The worse thing is that it makes it much more possible to justify firing someone for deceptive reasons in order to avoid anti-discrimination or harassment claims.

This enables much more, because screenshots to comb through for dirt exist where they otherwise would not.
Hm, maybe I'm not seeing the point here, or maybe I'm just too old and crotchety. But it seems to me that Effect provides two things:

1. A way to have strongly-typed errors

2. A standard library, like a better HTTP library and better concurrency primitives.

I'm not particularly sold on 1) in isolation. If you want strongly typed errors, you can use vanilla TS: just use `type Result<T> = { type: 'result'; data: T } | { type: 'error'; message: string }` as a return type and you're basically there, modulo an if statement on the calling side.

On the other hand, 2) seems a bit more compelling. I do think it's true that JS could use a better standard library. But the cost of the standard library is that I now have to write my code in this extremely unusual way, and that seems like a bit too high of a cost to me. Effect.forEach (instead of for...of), Effect.runPromise (instead of await), Effect.andThen (instead of... nothing?) have, to my eyes, significant penalties in readability, debuggability and maintainability.
"cynical". That's like calling the sky blue a "cynical" take. It should be obvious to anyone that has been paying attention for a while that this is exactly what is happening. Requires absolutely zero conspiracy mindset. You are either very young or don't pay attention whatsoever. Sorry about being blunt, but I'm tired of these pollyanna naive takes that it's "cynical" to suggest that corporations and government agents want to spy on you when it's obvious to my 8 year old that they are doing it. There have been hundreds of events and leaks indicating exactly this situation that made front-page news in major publications over the last couple decades. Where have you been?
expect Elon has no problem censoring speech he does not like.. And he has no problem supporting censorship in places he has nothing to gain..

on one side you have him criticizing the current left wing government and the country supreme court because "freedom of speech" in brazil, while he is loosing the negotiation to buy one of the largest lithium mining company in the region to china's BYD and having a right wing government instead would benefit him, so causing political turmoil is in his best interest..

while at the other end you have india that has made more requests to take down content then brasil and is heavily censoring people in twitter, but since they have a right wing government that Elon have good relation with you do not hear a pip from him about censorship in india..

Elon crusade is not about freedom of speech, it is about what is best for Elon..

if you say something he does not like, you will get banned, like already happened with several journalists that criticized him and the guy the posted his plane location..

When you run Coverity or other static analyzer on your code, how many violations do you find? How many were unexpected?

> The only argument against this that is correct, is that like in every other domain people would self-assess their own abilities too optimistically, so even those who are slow would believe that they can retrieve their luggage fast enough to not hinder the evacuation, but then they would be proven wrong.

This is they key. Not only overestimating their speed in taking down the luggage, but also other passengers overestimating how much time they have to safely get off the plane.

Take Spantax Flight 995, for example. Almost everyone survived the initial crash landing, but dozens died from smoke inhalation. Most of those who died were seated in the rear of the plane, where there was traffic in the aisles due to one or two people grabbing luggage from the overhead bins. There is an account from a survivor from the rear of the plane who only managed to escape because he climbed over the seats to get around the traffic. Most other passengers in the area were content to wait, not realizing how quickly the smoke would spread and turn lethal.
Well, Vercel at least maintains the open-source Next.js, which is a pretty important framework for a lot of us. And they provide a generous free and Teams plan for small teams and individual devs that just need to spin something up with minimal fuss.

I'm biased (as a frontend dev who really appreciates what they've abstracted and simplified), but IMO they and Cloudflare have been the two companies really driving the Web forward as an app platform, where AWS and Google and Azure have stalled.

Is this not just soft determinism?

I've always felt like soft determinists were just people who really wanted "free will" but couldn't see enough uncertainty in the unexplored realms of physics to see how the universe isn't fully deterministic (if very difficult to simulate or make predictions that match reality beyond a few seconds). So instead they just redefined free will in a "this is fine [room is on fire]" kind of way.

Either the universe is fully deterministic and free will and agency do not exist, and we should be much kinder to people who e.g. commit crimes (they were forced to do it by their brain state, after all).

Or the universe is not fully deterministic, and we are going to eventually find some (or many) fundamental source of non-deterministic behavior.

Now mind you, whether that non-deterministic behavior actually happens in our brains in a way that it provides some kind of metaphorical "door" for our soul, or our true selves, or whatever you might call it, to propagate through meaningfully into our consciousnesses in a way that will make whether we are a sinner or a saint some actual function of whether "we" are "good". Now that remains to be seen.

Wouldn't it be funny if we found that truly non-deterministic behavior happens at the event horizons of black holes, or in the middle of the fusion of a star, or something crazily exotic like that. And definitely doesn't happen at standard temperature and pressure in our brains.
Swift for all its niceties still suffers from a habit of inherently tying its conventions to Apple and its "appleisms" when coding. Tasks that should be relatively straightforward to do e.g. iterating through a file line-by-line still requires an awkward amount of code. It's especially noticeable when compared to languages like Go or Python:

https://forums.swift.org/t/text-streaming-in-standard-librar...

While these things are not difficult to solve with some minor additions to the standard library and documentation that emphasizes some basic conventions, the fact that we're on Swift6 and things like this aren't just available speaks to how much further the community needs to evolve to get the language ergonomics right for non apple-y things.
None. That’s the problem.

My take is the video format is terrible and should not exist in the first place anyway, so I live happily far away from all the yt drama.

For instance it was the WWDC this week and all the sessions are video. Most of them could be articles instead and it would be much better/useful. (Thankfully they provide full searchable transcripts now, so at least there’s that…)

I do watch videos: TV Shows and movies. Which I pay other services to provide for me.

> My issue with Go is that it's not low level enough to be good for systems programming but it's not high level enough to avoid boilerplate.

That's really interesting because in general I find Go faster to work in than Python. Python has great flexibility but even production code I read is littered with noise that I don't see with Go applications. Other than error propagation - which is more a style choice than boilerplate - I find doing something in Go results in fewer lines of code and less spaghetti logic.

I'm a bit too dug in on Rust to spend a ton of time replacing it with Zig and my use cases frankly could be handled by a Go app without much worry about performance. But one thing Rust has is boilerplate out the wazoo.

I can't find a picture. IIRC the machine was something like this

https://content.invisioncic.com/r322239/monthly_10_2015/post...

Except it had terrain and pits. A pit would light up and you needed to land in the pit (your ship landing would depress the button in the center of the pit). If you didn't aim well your ship would hit the edge of the pit, tilt, and you'd fail. If you did hit the button then the light would go off and a different pit would light up.

-- update --

now that I think about it, maybe the controls were more like UFO catcher where you'd align at the top and then press "land".

Anyway, it used to be at Disneyland at the Main Street Arcade.
