"in the hopes of bankrupting them"

Where do you get that idea?

How exactly were they entitled to his $1B donation?
An immediate visual representation, at that. HMR at best offers a pale shadow of the feedback loop Excel users get for free.
Selling into the enterprise is about doing your research on who the key people are, who has the purse strings, what the drivers for that company are, and what your competitors are doing with pricing, bundling, and their pitches.

Very little of this involves talking to code monkeys, unless there's a technical person who is already well-regarded enough that general managers, C*O, and the like, listen to their opinions.

The engineers in the company are usually sufficiently contemptuous of "politics" and "people pleasing" and "bean counters" and "marketing" that they aren't part of those discussions, because they've already made it clear that they hold the people making the calls in contempt. Oracle sales people are more than happy to fill the gap.
This is not really a new problem, the previous version being "idk, I copy pasted it from stack overflow." True expertise realized that the answer often lay buried in sub-comments and the top voted answer is not often the correct one. LLM's naturally do not realize any of this.
Only if people would start using OSS projects that are out there for them for free and contribute (where contribute means, using, supporting, adding to documentation) it would be solved already.

You know there is libre office, there are tons of other OSS apps - accounting, CAD, image manipulation.

Whole idea that people somehow need to be developers is crooked and making it worse. There are tons of already useful local first software rotting out there - only because „everyone uses Photoshop” „everyone uses Excel”.

I don’t agree with „barefoot developers” - it should be „OSS promoters” that promote open standards and open applications and not come build up each and every piece of software by reinventing the wheel.

I as a developer don’t need to make every app for myself - 99% of my needs for software in personal life is covered by excel and 1% is communication apps that cannot be local and someone has to run server anyway.

Not surprising. When I was researching options for a client I tried a few companies including ElevenLabs and Play.ht, each seemed happy to talk to us... except Coqui. I think I went as far as reporting bugs to them, just to have them aggressively ignore me. I guess they're more of a research team than a business?

Ground source heat pumps, insulating foam, and sealed windows are about to get a lot more popular I imagine. The best part is that they work equally well on extreme cold as extreme hot which seems to be what we're all in for.
I'm talking about in proportion to income... for example, if people spend 30% of household income on housing, you cannot have an order of magnitude increase in housing prices over any time scale as it will always have a hard cap at 100%.
You’re right but I think that’s pretty self-defeating so people wouldn’t really do it.

But there’s a pretty good argument that the way exceptions are implemented in Java makes the easiest thing to do simply be to start tacking “throws Exception“ on the end of tons of methods once you start to have trouble. Everywhere I’ve worked you start to see that in chunks of the code base.

You don’t have to. It’s certainly avoidable. But as things get more and more complicated people will just opt for that to save themselves time. Java’s design unintentionally encourage it when the going gets rough. Even when using an IDE that can add the correct types to the list for you, that’s what people reach for.
Type safe and unguessable IDs are what I've been using in my projects for the past, oh, 10 years maybe? Inspired by Stripe!

In my databases, I often prefer integer primary keys for performance reasons. On the other hand, I don't want to expose my primary keys because they are easy to guess.

Recently I've been playing with Rust, and ended up publishing a library to encrypt IDs in they way I like:

Fact, that you cannot use their software legally offline is enough for me to not trust them.
I was once apart of a team evaluating storage solutions from multiple vendors. We had rows of racks dedicated to each vendor. Between production IT, production engineers, and even the operators doing the daily grind, there was a clear loser and 2 very good/close winners. We ran our stress tests for months to generate all sorts of useful metrics. Then, corporate comes along and makes a massive PR release about the new deal they just signed with the absolute worst vendor.

Eventually, after production came to a grinding halt because the storage solution did not work, there was no follow up PR campaign about the abject failure of that partnership. C-suite people can fuck up the easiest decisions because of perks/kick backs.
People get much larger houses today because they can afford much larger houses. This comes from both increased prosperity and having fewer kids.

1950s: The average new home sold for $82,098. It had 983 square feet of floor space and a household size of 3.37 people, or 292 square feet per person.

2010s: The average new home ($292,700) offers 924 square feet per person (2.59 people per household, 2,392 total square feet) — three times the space afforded in the 1950s.

> Spatial relationships are just another type of logical relationship and we should expect AGI to be able to analyze relationships and generate algorithms on the fly to solve problems.

Not really. By that reasoning, 5-dimensional spatial reasoning is "just another type of logical relationship" and yet humans mostly can't do that at all.

It's clear that we have incredibly specialized capabilities for dealing with two- and three-dimensional spatiality that don't have much of anything to do with general logical intelligence at all.
Ground News uses bias ratings from Ad Fontes Media, All Sides, and Media Bias/Fact Check; they rate NPR as Center, Lean Left, and Lean Left respectively.

If you consider NPR to be far-far left then what is Jezebel, The Young Turks, Jacobin, or Democracy Now? That's not even getting into things like Socialist Alternative or pod casts like Chapo Trap House.

Between the ones I listed and NPR are sites like Slate and Vox which are to the left of NPR but not as far left as Democracy Now.
> How exactly were they entitled to his $1B donation?

They weren't. But neither is Musk entitled to anything from OpenAI and the lawsuit was BS.

He pulled his donation because he wasn't given total control, and now he is being a sore loser about it with a failed lawsuit.
If you are on windows ShareX blows almost everything else out of the water imo, the GIF/movie capture feature is great.
Fair point, in that sense it seems like some fairly fixed step-ups are possible where people culturally decide to spend more of their income on housing, but it cannot be a steady trend to profit from as an investor, because it will always have a hard cap at 100% of household income. It can't steadily beat inflation over long time scales.
> I gave them every opportunity to prove to me they could do the job (or learn at least to) they were hired to do, instead they cheated their way through the pip, passing others peoples work off as their own.

I feel like this is the problem with PIPs. From the managerial side, there is this good-faith expectation that a poorly-performing employee will snap back into shape once put on-notice. For people that are chronically incapable of certain tasks, this is a deliberately bad-faith expectation. And while it's not particularly common, it also stands to reason that a well-performing employee could be judged by unfair metrics or assigned an impossible task. So now everyone feels wronged. It's like a minimally-viable abstraction for making a firing appear natural and documented.
Right, so their original premise is…still confusing.

Sometime in the mid 90s young me came across a PlayStation demo kiosk at Best Buy that happened to be demoing Wipeout. When I started playing, the soundtrack "Messij" started.

This is such a poor hot take. Literally every single person that has personally dealt with him disagrees this narrative. It's only popular on reddit/hacker news boards and among some journalists. Karpathy has a good discussion on it that I've heard several employees at his other companies agree with.

Or even Shotwell herself for that matter and how she has expressed how she and Elon subdivide the work.

Elon Musk is not nice person, but he gets things done and he's deeply involved in the day-to-day activities of his companies. I know a low level software engineer at SpaceX and he regularly attends their team meetings and contributes.
Following up, HumHub seems like a close fit.

I know you're talking about the cloud offerings, but the idea of using just a little bit of crack as "not production" is hilarious to me.
Having briefly tried it I have to say it's not as clear or easy to use as ShareX (another open-source screenshot tool). The monochrome icons are really not intuitive or easy to discern at a glance.

Can you feasibly run a homelab C&C server on the free tier of any of the big 3?
It'll sell you on the idea that you can trust it; that it only sources verified reports and data; that it's better than the other AI slop that doesn't care about accuracy or privacy.

Then it'll build up habits and routines with you. You'll feel good that your AI slop is actually good AI and is trying to benefit you.

All the while, the verified reports and data always supports your expectations and worldview. It's almost perfect, aside from the fact it sometimes cites The Federalist more than it should. And it convinced you to throw out all your pillows and buy a whole new set for your family. But you're able to look past it, because it's actually good AI.
Yes, unironically.

In the USA you have the SLS, which can only be described as a congressionally designed failure.

Past experiments by NASA for self landing rockets had their funding denied as well.

In the EU there was the Arianespace CEO who explicitly said that self landing rockets were a waste of time.

In Japan, space experimentation and failures are such a public nightmare we would never have bothered.

The idea of losing dozens of rockets in order to aim for reusability would have been untenable.

Starship would not exist. Because the idea of a rocket with that many engines on the booster was also believed to be impractical.

Elon is egomaniacal sure, but that's only magnified by his status as a CEO. His behavior, unfortunately pretty close to the average person.

Doesn't change the fact that SpaceX under his leadership is the only reason we have reusable rockets, or the ridiculously ambitious Starship launches.

No one could have predicted the current incredible cadence of launches by SpaceX either.
Sorry, I should have said why couldn't Apple license Grok. Their deal with OpenAI isn't exclusive, after all.

Musk's shenanigans are good reasons for Cupertino to keep a wide berth.
Please do show me where he explicitly invited child pornographers. Go ahead, link me to the specific place where he said that. I want to see what he said word for word.
Ostensibly they are, but the article posits that the definition of “fully plugged” here is not really actually “fully plugged”.
Insightful question...unless something emergent came along with Neuralink for free, we have a hard problem of how to figure out how to use the new bandwidth. And both ends need to be able to encode and decode, and understand the result, with multiple levels of error handling.

Well, we don't really know that.

There is a real art to doing "benchmarks", more correctly called "synthetic benchmarks" since they don't reflect actual usage but are intended for comparisons.

I had tried pgvector 0.6.2 on an OCI free node (2cpu 64GB) and noticed a few things:

- pgvector build environment does NOT use -O3

- cosine indexing with/without -03 was 1h:6h elapsed time (10M 128 x fp64 table)

- memory consumption for indexing is huge, I estimated 2x table size

- you can do parts of tables (maintenance_work_mem=) substituting disk io for memory and this only doubles elapsed time

My general comment would be: prospective users need effective guidance (beyond the great advice already on the pgvector website) about memory, cpu, and disk.

I really like the pgvectorscale possibilities for faster lookups; some great ideas there.
> most people will tell you that the market won't reward you for playing fair. If you work at a business, you fundamentally have to play the game to ensure progress.

I could not disagree with this more. My professional and business experience indicates this is not accurate.

> The entire article here is about how you will be manipulated if you don't question the literal wording of what HR tells you.

True! I'm not saying that the world isn't full of manipulative assholes, and people need to know what sort of assholery they will encounter.

I'm just saying that you don't need to be a manipulative asshole in order to succeed in business. If you're arguing that you do (which is what I'm hearing), I think that's incorrect.

> The only way to put yourself ahead of the management is to stop being a sycophant, and to strategically deny your employer free office hours.

We're entirely on the same page here, though.
Slop is not a new term, it refers to content people like (perjoratively, similar to how fast food is something people like) but for whatever reason (low brow? bad for you? clickbait? lowest common denominator?) should not be classified as good quality content. This slang is older than AI, possibly by decades.
Next time you "um akshually", do your homework first.

> These are pretty strong guarantees, and really make it difficult for Apple to bypass.

These guarantees rely entirely on trust in the hardware but it's not your hardware.
I work with two people who survived PIPs and are now productive members of my teams. I wasn't the manager involved, but I think she made a good choice, both when she PIP'ed them and by passing them when they picked up their game. This is going to vary company to company, but from my perspective there's absolutely no reason a capable person can't get themselves out of a PIP and remain at a company.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... you can't fool me twice!
Interesting. I'm not sure about $ and ^ either but I think I'd keep getting confused about which one of < and > meant pushing vs pulling
The person you are replying to said nothing about being entitled to the money. You are moving goal posts.

This is the equivalent of me coming to you and promising you money so that you can pull off a risky business move, then at the critical moment when I don’t like something pulling that money. Sure I might be entitled to do that as it is my money, but it’s a dick move and would certainly leave you holding the bag.
The amount of shit software my org has bought with seemingly no technical people in the meetings in mindboggling. For some reason the MO seems to be to bring the tech people in after the purchase to 'integrate'. Maybe because managers know the technical people would object and they just want to buy a solution now so it seems they are worth the inflated salary.

Thats not how libel works.

He is allowed to dislike the fact that Apple is working with OpenAI.

And whether or not it is good security practice isn't an objective fact and is instead a matter of opinion.

In the USA, free speech protections are very strong and you aren't going to win a lawsuit just because someone doesn't like your product.
It’s possible to run a single node cluster on GCP for almost free, especially if you’re creative with spot instance. But afaik, not really otherwise. OCI is far and away more generous, giving you 4 dedicated always on nodes, which is just enough to run a decent mini cluster
I work at a FAANG like company, and here it's just annual performance reviews, that include bunch of achievements and then politics. No way anyone is going to check anyone's commit history. There are huge calibration meetings where managers have to stand up for their engineers on who gets what kind of performance rating and who gets promoted, and it's just verbal debates. There's just no way anyone can bring up someone's commit history and have enough time to explain what is going on overall.

And managers have little clue about the actual work that is going on. Definitely not enough clue to understand what commits are about, even if they have had a technical background overall.

> requires no world knowledge, no understanding of language

This is treating “intelligence” like some abstract, platonic thing divorced from reality. Whatever else solving these puzzles is indicative of, it’s not intelligence.
It sure can, but whether your explanation is correct is the tricky part.

Luckily, most people can't realize this so the problem "doesn't exist", and "is" solved.
Just use OSS that already is there and contribute to it and we have it covered - no need for „everyone becoming a developer” and there are tons of local first OSS tools.

Where contributing is using OSS, commenting on it, sharing work done with OSS tools with others, filling in bug requests and maybe even paying something for it.

Working with tools and sharing work done with tools is important because everyone is using photoshop instead of Gimp, everyone is using Excel instead of libre office.
For now but this is in the pipeline too.
