The logic of this article is all over the place.

At the root of it, the author is arguing that everyone needs to reach for common tools to patch together feature-packed solutions for a narrow set of customers. This somehow translates into it being cheaper to build and more appealing to customers. The problems I see:

1) Stuffing a bunch of third party services together to make a product is great for a startup looking to launch quickly, but in practice it is usually horrible long term. Quality integration between your features becomes difficult, and you will often sacrifice the UX as a result.

2) Outsourcing everything makes you a thin wrapper. Talk about commoditization.

3) The author seems to assume that the brand is the business, not the underlying product. That doesn't even hold for hamburgers, let alone specialized software verticals.

4) In an era of software being dumped on the market in droves, the solution is not to dump into the market even faster. I can tell you as someone coming from the medical side of things that people try doing this to us all of the time, and it's just endless heaps of garbage software. People would be smart to take the time to really think through our problems in the fine details where they matter. I know that doesn't mix well with a VC-backed growth at all costs model, but frankly that's not my problem.

The article feels like it was written by an MBA, not an engineer.

Don't listen to this person. They have no idea what they're talking about.

No one cares about this TOS provision. I know both startups and large businesses that violate it as well as industry datacenters and academic clusters. There are companies that explicitly sell you hardware to violate it. Heck, Nvidia will even give you a discount when you buy the hardware to violate it in large enough volume!

You do you.
Sounds like a great use case for AI. Dealing with angry customers all day must be hell for one's mental health.

Thanks for doing that. Honestly I think some of the criticism of Saas behaviours seem fair. On the other hand I don't necessarily think the criticism of the saas model itself is completely fair.

Making a website or newsletter requires an ongoing investment in people to produce content. So it's ideal to have an ongoing stream of subscription revenue to match that ongoing cost. As a user I happily subscribe to certain news outlets because I recognise the value they provide to me on an ongoing basis and think it's a fair quid pro quo.

Lots of things that people expect from software (ongoing updates, support, online features etc) incur an ongoing cost from the team so a subscription-type model is also better for the software company than a one-off payment.

So you can see why saas businesses and their investors like it. I think what they often fail to do, is show users that this model represents a good deal for them also. In other words they want to charge for software as a service but actually only provide software as a subscription (without real service behind it).

Ie if you're charging a subscription the user should get great support. They should get ongoing updates etc etc - things which cost money on an ongoing basis.
But that doesn't earn you a lot of clicks...

See a physio or a trainer to do it right, but in general explosive or percussive movements are supposed to be good for knees. People used to think that jogging was terrible for knees, for instance, but now the consensus seems to be the opposite.

Starting slow and doing good form squats and slow burpees could improve your knee health to the point where you can do regular-tempo burpees. However, don't get medical advice from internet forums.
It's already kinda lika that though.

> Heck Crimea basically guaranteed ukraine couldn't be admitted because of the whole no territorial disputes clause

There is no such clause in the North Atlantic Treaty, and many NATO members (including founding members) were admitted with territorial disputes, including with other NATO members, either admitted earlier or simultaneously admitted.

NATO members are required to pledge to resolve disputes of any kind in accordance with the principles of the UN, endeavouring to do so by means which are both peaceful and not disruptive of international peace and security, but without prejudice to any of their rights under the UN Charter including those of individual and collective self-defense, and to declare that at the time of their accession to the treaty none of their existing "engagements" violate those principles. (See, particularly, Articles 1, 7, and 8 of the North Atlantic Treaty.)

There is no reasonable reading of the Treaty which would prohibit a new member from being admitted while while some of its territory is under hostile occupation or while engaged in a defensive war on its won territory against an aggressor; it may make it more difficult to achieve the required unanimity,
but there is no "territorial disputes clause" preventing it.

The option to pay is still listed as coming soon, but I also see pricing information in the settings page, so maybe it actually is coming somewhat sooner. I’m seeing $0.05/1M input and $0.10/1M output for llama3 8B, which is not exactly identical to what the previous person quoted.

Either way, I wish Groq would offer a real service to people willing to pay.
I have significantly reduced/shifted my video consumption away from Prime since the addition of ads. I can foresee a day when I will cancel my Prime membership:(

Watching Youtube is rapidly becoming unbearable given the increasing level of obnoxious ads. Youtube is even worse given the shorter length of videos vs the length of the ads. It will not be long before the Internet will be as unwatchable as cable TV.

Seems there is no escape from ads even when you are willing to pay.

Question: Where do we go from here? Already progressed from TV->Cable TV->DVD Rental->Ala carte Internet->????

The content is only a part of it. We are a species specially-suited to pick up on others emotional states and factor that in our responses. A mismatch in response to certain emotions is going to cause further problems as, to an angry customer, it comes off as patronizing, dismissive, and disrespectful.

Typically, angry customers are conveying severity and urgency. If you do not respond with a similar sense of severity or urgency you now have two people who aren't on the same page. That's not a good foundation to solve problems on.
Got any evidence to support your statement?

> Only forage with a reliable guide, never an app, ...

Smarter move: Never forage for mushrooms, no matter how reliable your guide supposedly is.

Back when I was in HS, our senior AP Biology teacher - who'd been foraging for mushrooms for 2+ decades, no problems - accidentally poisoned herself. (It couldn't have been destroying angel - she did survive.) Uber-Obvious Lesson for my stupid little teen male brain: If someone that expert and experienced with mushrooms could still suffer a near-fatal oopsie, then I for-sure nevernevereverever wanted to risk my neck by trying it.
I believe most modern trains use regenerative braking for the majority of their deceleration. At least the hybrid and electric ones.
Since the LLM needs more context around mocks for the unit test, it is better in generating test cases above existing test cases. Not good for generating from scratch for complex applications.
I've attempted that in the past out of similar naive idea. I didn't use any stimulants, just slept on a chair without proper blankets. It did seem to get rid of a lot of unwanted data, though it also posed cognitive penalties, possibly some permanent. I guess it's a last resort option, not something generally recommendable.

Zod is a great library, you can use it with Effect without any issues!

Schema is a more advanced library though that goes beyond parsing, it supports both encoding and decoding, also supports more complex types.

The boot sector moves itself to segment 96C0h:

0000:7c69 e8 00 00 CALL LAB_0000_7c6c

pushes the address of the following instruction (7C6C) on the stack.

0000:7c6c 5b POP BX=>DAT_9000_6ffe
0000:7c6d 83 eb 6c SUB BX,0x6c

BX is now 7C00, the beginning of the boot sector. This is a common trick to get the address of your own code when you don't know where it was loaded in memory. No idea why he did this though, since the PC BIOS boot process always uses the same address.

0000:7c70 c1 eb 04 SHR BX,0x4
0000:7c73 66 8c c8 MOV AX,CS
0000:7c76 03 c3 ADD AX,BX
0000:7c78 66 8e d8 MOV DS,AX

DS:0000 now points to the boot sector. Note that this would fail if it were loaded at some address that isn't a multiple of 16, but of course this is never the case.

0000:7c7b b9 00 02 MOV CX,0x200
0000:7c7e 33 f6 XOR SI,SI
0000:7c80 33 ff XOR DI,DI
0000:7c82 f3 a4 MOVSB.REP ES:DI,SI

Copy the 512 byte boot sector to segment 96C0

0000:7c84 b8 c0 96 MOV AX,0x96c0
0000:7c87 66 8e d8 MOV DS,AX
0000:7c8a ea a2 00 c0 96 JMPF LAB_9000_6ca2

Jump to rest of code starting at offset 00A2.

The 0000Kernel.BIN.C file isn't loaded yet at this point, and would likely end up at a different address. I haven't looked at the rest of the code, but it seems to be not nearly enough there to parse any filesystem structures. It probably loads the second stage starting from a fixed sector number.

This may sound like blasphemy to some, but honestly, I'm not that impressed with the quality of this code. There are also superfluous 66h prefixes on the segment load instructions.

There will always be angry customers. People who call customer service and abuse the representative are not expressing anger solely due to the complaint. It’s an accumulation of other things in their lives.
I wonder does it work in real time or does it add latency after each sentence?
> The original iPhone did not permit installing an alternate browser.

It didn't permit installing anything at all.

And even when it did allow app installs, I get why they wouldn't want people installing browsers: it's a great opportunity for third parties to absolutely wreck the device UX with garbage third party software. Banishing Flash from the platform was a genius move, because bad flash apps absolutely dragged the web to a crawl in the early/mid 2000s. Banning the worst offenders from the platform gave them a huge leg up in performance.

The thing with the iPhone is that a subset of boffins really want it to be a Mac or a Windows computer, when from day 1 it was always a Nintendo Switch. Consumers voted with their wallets and it won in a landslide. Now it's become so advanced that people confuse it with a general purpose computer, but that was never the deal, never the business model. Europe is basically trying to take Apple's platform and force them to give it to third parties gratis. They're mad because Apple is complying with the letter of the law, but not the spirit of the law which is for Apple to depart the EU market entirely.
One of the first episodes in the huberman podcast, he references a study where insomnia was cured in 100% of study participants by taking them camping for a week. I think sleeping is like weight loss, it's really simple but people don't want to do what's necessary. Non-sedentary lifestyle, eat right, wake up and go to sleep with sun, don't use electronics, etc.
You have a point. Definitely will take this into consideration. Thanks for the input!

> I've always understood this claim as a particular (rather restricted) interpretation of "systems" code

This is basically the retcon that the golang community has settled on but it's frankly not true.

When go was originally being promoted it was heavily advertised as a systems language suitable for writing low-level programs. Nowhere was it caveated that "systems language" means something different from what everyone understood a "systems language" to be at the time. Only when it more or less failed to gain traction in that space did this get redefined to mean "network servers that mostly just shuffle bytes around and CLI applications".
The same could be said of

* Buying a lottery ticket

* Moving to a new city and you hope you can find a decent job

* Having to choose a different brand of milk at the store because they're out of your regular one

* Starting on a new TV series and you hope it's not shit

* Organizing a party and you hope nothing goes wrong

But it's not at all the same "threat" feeling.
No, and the tone that you're making this assertion is laughable. You're saying a discussion in the realm of literary analysis and interpretation should be backed up with "facts"? And that statements like "I think" are out of bounds?

I think you were asked a good question. What would constitute "evidence", to you?
I hope Terry rest in peace. He had a tormented mind.
That probably somewhat depends on what you consider "natural".

While I'm not an expert - to my knowledge the land/resources were pretty thoroughly exploited and agricultural productivity wasn't exactly high. You'd have seen a lot of farm fields/pastures stretching across vast areas and things like that. Not that much "wild", unaltered/unworked land.
Is that sentiment for rising-tide reasons, or to help erode the C footprint in industry, something else?
It's not an argument not to do it. I'm just pointing out that it isn't enough to make the world a better place, you need to have a plan ready for how to keep it that way or we just get captured again.

Lift your foot up and try to balance in your seat and see how it feels. Try using a standing desk with it. Put a pen between your toes and try to draw a square and feel major muscles in your upper thighs struggling to make these fine control motions. Put on high heels and try to do anything that isn't gross movement. Sit in a train/plane/car and think of trying to use a laptop with a foot controller. Heck, put your mouse on the ground right now, turn pointer speed down as slow as possible to accommodate the gross movements of your legs, and try to use it.
So, what is the difference between your argument and this more concise version?

The falsehood of the "Full Self-Driving" claims are generally known to existing customers, therefore it is ok to lie to new customers.
Very weaselly worded. Some things that appear to be allowed:

* intended bias
* legal surveillance
* legal collection of biometrics without consent
* legal harrassment

Ie, state sanctioned killbots are just fine!
They should still expose the emotion level to the call center operator, just in a different way. Have something on the UI that indicates the level of emotion. It's still an important metric to take into account when resolving the customer enquiry.

Well, those specific corporate claims of safety and oversight when the model is downloadable.

I know OpenAI gets a lot of flak for not letting people download their model weights, but this is kinda why I agree with them in principle. In practice, so far, it seems that even the best model isn't a threat; but if the models are downloadable, we'll only know that any given model is a threat when it's too late to do anything about it.

I think the only way to be sure a sufficiently powerful model is "safe" to distribute is something which might be impossible: unless and until we know how to make a model such that its concept of good and evil* cannot be removed even by someone who has read and write access to all the weights, I expect someone to be able to find the equivalent of the "good/evil" switch and change it between them whenever they feel like it.

* for the purpose of this discussion: it does not matter whose concept of good and evil the AI is aligned with, given the point is that I expect it can be deleted regardless.
They're speaking to the lay community. The lay community is not known for using precise language. If they had used language like yours, the lay community probably wouldn't have received the key message: "10x better".

On the other side, it seems clear that the scientific community was able to deduce the intended meaning of "10x fewer".
Parent commenter used the wrong word. It’s the EULA that prevents it.

This use-case may be good or bad, but the logic underneath it is 100% correct IMO. Fundamentally, these new models allow you to encode and communicate high-level thoughts in the same way that the internet allowed you to encode and communicate well-defined information.

The natural evolution of this technology is to insert it into human communication channels and automatically transform raw thoughts into something better for the other end of the channel. "Better" is open to interpretation and going to be very interesting in this new world, but there are so many options.

Why not a version of HackerNews that doesn't just have commenting guidelines, but actually automatically enforces them? Or a chrome extension that takes HN comments and transforms them all to be kinder (or whatever you want) when you open a thread? Or a text input box that automatically rewrites (or proposes a rewrite of) your comments if they don't meet the standards you have for yourself?
True. Though I've not been that specific, and there's a lot of variability even in the general area. Texas is odd that way.

Should give an idea how much values have shot up, though, and how fast. A $75k home in 2010 can easily be over $500k now. It's crazy.
Real story IMO is at least further confirmation that Facebook, despite "expressing anger" are wholly subsumed by the national security state and allowed, or was not able to put a stop to this campaign until NSC chose to stopped the disinformation campaign because it aligned with new admins interest. Meta not only let obviously inorganic US propaganda to continue, but gave pentagon heads up that the campaign was too obvious, implying they can coordinate to enhance US disinformation dissemination, if subject/purpose wasn't something FB culture found distasteful. Not that it matters, since article suggest DoD can just ram through disinfo campaign on FB and presumably other western platforms with relative impunity.
Well you can't because now you declaratively represent the execution flow, and the actual execution is implicit. If you put any breakpoint in there it will break during the declaration of the execution flow rather than when the corresponding logic actually gets executed:

Except that the article assumes that the GPUs would be using their max TDP all the time, which is incorrect. GPUs will throttle down to 5-20w (depending on the specific GPU). So your actual power consumption is going to be much, much lower, unless you’re literally using your LLM 24/7.
Not that the vaccines themselves were fake (though the full multi-step doses were never actually administered, source included below).

I was taught not to eat unknown mushrooms when I was about 5 years old. Maybe I had to wait until 6 to understand that mushrooms were dangerous specifically because poisonous varieties could easily be confused with edible ones.

Seriously, this is just like the reason why we have to put "do not eat" warnings on a box of tacks.
And their only hope is to get more investors to prop them up.
