I am sure there are. I was quite into aquaponics for a while as well.

I just wish these things were more common place. All these technological advances...it should be easy option for people to live in communities where they can do few hours of work a day and live simply. Yet this is somehow a complete luxury!

Instead we need cars, roads, computers, phones, to work 8-10 hours a day just to provide ourselves with shelter food and clothing.
What is the pipeline for future medications for obesity?
The house I grew up in had quite a large central pillar with a hole in it. The purpose was that dirty laundry from the rooms for the adults/children, which we're on the first floor, could be transported to the cellar where the washing machine was.

I still remember when as a child a "situation" arose and I managed to block it with my clothes and my parents had to clear the blockage.

I think the spirit of this article is correct, although some of the digs at modern web tech and SPAs seem to be beside the point.

I used to have a "mildly dynamic website." It was a $5 digital ocean box. It ran nginx with php-fpm, mostly so it could have a Wordpress install in a subdirectory, and it had a unicorn setup for an experimental Rails app somewhere in there.

Given that environment, the "mildly dynamic website" experience that TFA talks about was absolutely true. If I wanted a simple script to accept form input, or some little tiny dynamic experimental website, I could trivially deploy it. I could write PHP (ugh) or whatever other backend service I felt like writing. I ported the Rails app to golang after a while. It was fun. It made for a low cost of entry for experimental, hackish things. It's a nice workshop if you have it.

The thing is — if you are running this setup on your own linux virtual machine — it requires endless system maintenance. Otherwise all the PHP stuff becomes vulnerable to random hacks. And the base OS needs endless security updates. And maybe you want backups, because you got lazy about maintaining your ansible scripts for system setup. And the price of the $5 virtual linux box tends to go up over the years. And the "personal website" model of the web has kind of declined (not that it's altogether dead, just marginalized by twitter/facebook).

So I got exhausted by having to maintain the environment (I already do enough system maintenance at work) and decided to switch to static HTML sites on S3. You can't hack it anymore. But so far — I can live with it.

Building video classifiers using vision-language models and active learning
This goes massively against the consensus of experts in this field. The modal AI researcher believes that "high-level machine intelligence", roughly AGI, will be achieved by 2047, per the survey below. Given the rapid pace of development in this field, it's likely that timelines would be shorter if this were asked today.

> more human approach to simulating intelligence

What about a more rational approach to implementing it instead.

(Which was not excluded from past plans: they just simply admittedly did not know the formula, and explored emergence. But the next efforts will have to go in the direction of attempting actual intelligence.)
This argument is very close to one by Whitehead in an essay called "The Rhythm of Education". The stages back there are called Romance, Precision, and Generalisation - but I'd argue there is an isomorphism (in a suitable category) between that and Tao's three stages.
You can't play it on Android
In a lot of cases you can't, many devices are locked in, especially in the arm world, you can't just switch, you have the os baked in which is a great way to cause an ewaste explosion. Like you can't buy an ipad and expect to run linux on it even though its chips are more than capable.

NT has no notion of pipes that send structured objects, but it does have Unix-like pipes.

Maybe you are thinking about Powershell. Powershell is interesting (although in practice I find it not very practical to use), but is quite another subject than NT. It's really also its own segregated world, that relies on dotnet, that is really another platform than NT (although in the first place implemented on top of it, and of course there are some integrations)

Windows ACL are powerful in theory but hard to manage in practice. Look at this fine textual representation for example: "O:AOG:DAD:(A;;RPWPCCDCLCSWRCWDWOGA;;;S-1-0-0)". Hum; at least ugo+-rwx you can remember it, and actually POSIX ACL are also easier to remember than Windows ACL.

Windows NT is not even that much GUI first. There are tons of things that you just can't access through a GUI, let alone a user friendly GUI. Funny example: ACLs on tasks from the Task Scheduler: no GUI access at all. It would probably not even be too hard for MS to plug their standard permission Window so that you can access them with the GUI, but they never did it. So much for the GUI first. Oh, I'm not even sure it has a command line interface to set the ACL there. Maybe just the Win32 API.

I also don't think there is an integrated Windows tool to view for examples the processes in a tree, even less to show Win32 jobs.

HyperV by itself has nothing revolutionary but there are a few interesting ideas that it can bring when integrated in a few Windows component (some security related sadly reserved to Entreprise version, because it is well known that in 2024 making good security architecture unreachable from the general public and SME is a brilliant idea). But compared to Qubes OS for example, it is very little. Oh there are also no Windows GUI to show HyperV states for these integration (as opposed with regular full system VMs)

Now I still think there are a few good ideas in NT, but the low level layers are actually not that far from Unix systems. It's closer than Cutler would admit. (In particular, there are not so much differences between "everything is a "file"" and "everything is an "object"", at least when you look at what Linux as done about "everything is a "file"" -- this is quite ironic because Cutler particularly disliked the "everything is a "file"" idea)

No, you are right. A lot of effort is being poured into monitoring and advocacy because that is the only place those interested in tackling these problems have to go. If there was an appetite for reform or mitigation, the folks doing high tech problem solving would be put to work in more meaningful ways. Worldwide though there is little interest in or support for changing our lifestyles, industrial systems, or resource flows to any significant extent (beyond extending them within poorer countries).
Very much not an expert, but I think this is talking about a whole different technology. This is holographic storage within a 3-D medium.

The article explains that the technology is 20+ years old, but didn't seem to occupy an optimal point on the frontier of throughput and cost, which is the major tradeoff for long-term storage devices. But it says with the physical limits of spinning magnetic disks on the horizon, it's worth looking at holographic again.

It further explains that to characterize the cost, you have to consider that the data has to be refreshed periodically, because reading degrades it, so that must be considered in the cost. And then they describe a protocol for doing the reads and refreshes that has good results.

So sad! Rest in peace.

I got to meet him in his office and have dinner with him once. It was an unforgettable and hugely influential experience.

Two fun anecdotes that have never left me:

- He taught me that IPIs (inter-processor interrupts) are inherently and hugely expensive. Knowing this has helped me with architectural choices more times than I can count.

- He quoted (I think from someone else) a rebuttal to the idea that Physics is the reality and math is just theory. It goes something like: Math is the reality that physicists sometimes discover. Love it.
And, of course, they don't just "bear the cost of an idle server". Just like any other fixed costs in any other industry, those costs get smeared over the charged prices. Unless there is some serious economy of scale (i.e. ops at Amazon managing to handle the upkeep of a 1000 of their servers for less than 1/1000 it costs you to manage 1 of your server), you're ending up paying somewhat more. But then again, you don't have to spend time to manage your own server which is probably a positive trade-off.
I think it kind of goes both ways. There are times when you absolutely want lambda functions instead of cgi-bin scripts. But conversely - there are times when you absolutely want cgi-bin instead of lambda. (For interfacing with other linux services or packages, for example). The two tools don't always substitute for each other.

Additionally, the only sea covered in its entirety is the Mediterranean. Generally, constellations don't do captures over open ocean as researchers/customers tend to be much more interested in events on land; this makes it difficult to do long-term analyses of marine events as the data just simply isn't captured.

Word of mouth, mainly. Posted it on Reddit back then, things like that. It grew organically from that. And, although it’s far from being on top results on SERP (search engine result pages), some people do find it that way.

Also: because it’s so lightweight, it got included some years ago in the Moya app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.bi.moya), a popular messaging app in South Africa that is “data-free” for users (it does reverse-billing). Now half the players are South Africans!

Someone being exposed for leading a fraud organization for several years is not the time to call for "empathy". This reads as a astroturf manipulation tactic to make the guilty seem not as bad as they are.
Overall, I like the idea a lot: it's Anki specifically for building your vocabulary. That said, I struggled a lot with the UX.

I think you need to make it more obvious that this is a preview and today you can only use words starting with S.

Changing the initial text in the search to 'Try searching for a word beginning with S...' would go a long way.

I'd also explain the product to people a bit more when on the landing page (without the copy above I would have been baffled) rather than launching them straight into it.

The login / sign up experience is a bit confusing. UX wise the view conflates sign up / login with information about the browser extensions. In my view, it's also a bit early to force people to use passkeys as the only way to login. Regardless, the whole button should be clickable rather than just the key.

The flying text is quite distracting.

On desktop, it's really not obvious that there is a button at the bottom right which has a lot of settings.

I also think there are very few people who would commit to spending $15.64 a month (1564 is Shakespeare's birthdate - nice) without some sort of free trial or at least having more of a go at using the app with more words than just daily one.

Sorry if that's harsh but that's my honest view. As I said, I like the idea overall. There is very little chance I'd spend $15.64 on this as it stands or if ever though.
What EDA software do you need and how much does it cost?

We are all flawed humans. I can empathize so far - but no further, because the thing that comes after "we are all flawed humans" needs to be learning how to manage one's own flawed nature such that its blast radius encompasses blameless others as closely to never as possible. It is not evident Allred has meaningfully done anything remotely resembling that kind of work.

There is a way to achieve load balancing, safety, and distribution effectively. The models used by Airbnb, Uber, and Spotify have proven to be generally successful. Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology is the future; even in China, people are streaming videos using this technology, and it works seamlessly. I envision a future where everyone joins the AI revolution with an iPhone, with both training and inference distributed in a P2P manner. I wonder why no one has done this yet.
This is literally a discussion on allocation of capital, it's not a reach to say that capitalism might be involved.
You're talking about physical maturity, I'm talking about mental maturity.

Physical maturity is irrelevant when it comes to mental decisions of how to apply that physical maturity.
Thanks for pointing that out! I'll need to update that - guidelines aren't something I've thought about in a great amount of detail, but I'd imagine there are some existing policies out there I can take inspiration from. Open to suggestions if anyone has any. Perhaps there's an open-source set of guidelines somewhere.

And yup - definitely need to define a process for that rather than removing groups with zero warning.
OK, I give up; I can't find an easter egg, except maybe for the simulated “curve reflection” on the spectrum on the right (but I wouldn't call it an easter egg, so most probably it isn't what you mean).

Yeah, at some point soon I'll have to go upgrade my APs at home with Wifi 7 ones, currently running a Unifi mix, with them all backhauled through Cat6 and PoE.

It's interesting to see wireless moving faster than ethernet now although it'll be hard to ditch the need for physically connecting APs for reliability and performance guarantees vs meshing them.

Internally I do have everyone's MacBooks backup with TimeMachine to a local Samba share. That's on a 2.5Gbps NIC and on NVMes, so theoretically all pushing performance limits. In reality we're just not pushing that much data between machines though, at least compared to streaming and gaming.

The bandwidth estimates were copied straight from ChatGPT, and over time will obviously improve. Things like GForceNow also present interesting opportunities to use the lowest latency and highest bandwidth connections upstream to ISPs, and then like you said, Steamboxes or Moonlight within the house. Ultimately though, I hate supporting IT at home, so would rather just buy an Xbox for the kids than build and support a gaming PC and moonlight.
Are you seriously asking how the most talented AI researcher of the last decade will be able to recruit other researchers? Ilya saw the potential of deep learning way before other machine learning academics.
Definitely true of even normal software engineering; my experience has been the opposite of expectations, that TC-creep has infected the industry to an irreparable degree and the most talented people I've ever worked around or with are in boring, medium-sized enterprises in the midwest US or australia, you'll probably never hear of them, and every big tech company would absolutely love to hire them but just can't figure out the interview process to weed them apart from the TC grifters.

TC is actually totally uncorrelated with the quality of talent you can hire, beyond some low number that pretty much any funded startup could pay. Businesses hate to hear this, because money is easy to turn the dial up on; but most have no idea how to turn the dial up on what really matters to high talent individuals. Fortunately, I doubt Ilya will have any problem with that.

And of course I can't really fault them for joining a company for the purpose of optimizing TC.

> Building safe superintelligence (SSI) is the most important technical problem of our time.

Call me a cranky old man but the superlatives in these sorts of announcements really annoy me. I want to ask: Have you surveyed every problem in the world? Are you aware of how much suffering there is outside of your office and how unresponsive it has been so far to improvements in artificial intelligence? Are you really saying that there is a nice total-ordering of problems by importance to the world, and that the one you're interested happens also to be at the top?

I hired out of app academy. It was fine -- they were super junior, but that was expected. All of them were successful in other industries and used app academy to retrain into software.

I suspect one of the problems with these programs is they're supply constrained; if you want to scale them, you're betting there's a lot of people with the requisite IQ, self control, motivation, ability to set and carry out long term goals, etc, that fell through the cracks both for college and an industry desperate for engineers. There definitely are some, but it sure doesn't seem like there's a VC-industry or public companies amount of these people.
"and it ended up being shipped into production not long after" - To me that seems like a reason to run from that company.

Since no one knows how to build an AGI, hard to say. But you might imagine that more restricted goals could end up being easier to accomplish. A "safe" AGI is more focused on doing something useful than figuring out how to take over the world and murder all the humans.
