I agree with the general sentiment but want to add: Dogs certainly process human language very well. From anecdotal experience of our dogs:

In terms of spoken language they are limited, but they surprise me all the time with terms they have picked up over the years. They can definitely associate a lot of words correctly (if it interests them) that we didn't train them with at all, just by mere observation.

A LLM associates bytes with other bytes very well. But it has no notion of emotion, real world actions and reactions and so on in relation to those words.

A thing that dogs are often way better than even humans is reading body language and communicating through body language. They are hyper aware of the smallest changes in posture, movement and so on. And they are extremely good at communicating intent or manipulate (in a neutral sense) others with their body language.

This is a huge, complex topic that I don't think we really fully understand, in part because every dog also has individual character traits that influence their way of communicating very much.

Here's an example of how complex their communication is. Just from yesterday:

One of our dogs is for some reason afraid of wind. I've observed how she gets spooked by sudden movements (for example curtains at an open window).

Yesterday it was windy and we went outside (off leash in our yard), she was wary and showed subtle fear and hesitated to move around much. The other dog saw that and then calmly got closer to her, posturing towards the same direction she seemed to go. He made small very steps forward, waited a bit, let her catch up and then she let go of the fear and went sniffing around.

This all happened in a very short amount of time, a few seconds, there is a lot more to the communication that would be difficult and wordy to explain. But since I got more aware of these tiny movements (from head to tail!) I started noticing more and more extremely subtle clues of communication, that can't even be processed in isolation but typically require the full context of all movements, the pacing and so on.

Now think about what the above example all entails. What these dogs have to process, know and feel. The specificity of it, the motivations behind it. How quickly they do that and how subtle their ways of communications are.

Body language is a large part of _human_ language as well. More often than not it gives a lot of context to what we speak or write. How often are statements misunderstood because it is only consumed via text. The tone, rhythm and general body language can make all the difference.
Gold isn't a currency. Gold coins can be, but then you either have to trust the mint or you carry around a scale. The key is being fungible and it's the state that promises that a dollar bill is equal to any other dollar bill.
Bun does not wrap Node. Bun is a JavaScript runtime and suite of tools separate from Node. We do implement Node APIs and spend an enormous amount of time on compatibility. We have to use the same `code` property on many errors or libraries that rely on it break.

It’s also possible you ran a package.json script that had the #!/usr/bin/env node shebang at the top, which Bun by default respects. You can force it to use bun by prefixing the command with “--bun”, like “bun --bun my-executable”

What error did you run into?

He did upend his entire life to stand up for something he believed in and now is in the sights of the US gov until the day he dies. The fact that he does not also want to be a sacrificial lamb to speak out on Ukraine doesn’t really compromise that fact in my mind.
I am not so sure about that.

A lot of the farming that is happening in Vietnam is on these smaller scale farmer levels. Drones are a harder sell in America imo because you have large multi-hundred/thousand acre farms in a country optimized for cars. In Vietnam the farmer will have a much much smaller plot of land and in the countryside often the roads will look more like sidewalks to a westerner.

I am not sure how effectively you could move tractors around in the countryside and you would be doing it often with the size of these farms.
Die Linke (far left), Greens (left), FDP (socially liberal-ish but economically further right than CDU) and AFD (far right) are against it. SPD (left) is internally conflicted about this topic. CDU (right) is in favour.

So essentially everyone who isn't very into law and order type politics and cares about civil rights is against this, regardless of where they are on the political spectrum. This is typical for such issues in Germany.

That’s the thing about socialized medicine. The government should put limits on what citizens are allowed to do because it impacts the bottom line.

In the US more people die per year of alcohol related diseases than by guns (1) (2). If we’re going to try to remove people’s rights to self defense, we need to remove people autonomy to purchase alcohol. The government would save billions of dollars a year on treatments if they just prohibit it.

The same goes for cigarettes, highly processed foods, and high fructose corn syrup. All of these should be banned because they lead directly to obesity, which costs trillions of dollars over a 10 year period. As the EU and even the US budget for their universal healthcare, they need to control the children, I mean citizens under their watch. The citizens show themselves unable or unwilling to control their consumption. Therefore such things should be out right banned.

Google maps has had that for years, right? I don’t think this threatens AllTrails.

I’ve used AllTrails for 10+ years and they’ve degraded by trying to force into paid subscriptions for basic functions. So I use them less and less (I just want maps and tracking hikes). So I’m happy that Apple is adding them and I don’t think will make me use AllTrails any less.
I believe it's alike for Ireland too. If BEVs are not decently priced, consumer doesn't have much of a choice over the issue.

I think micro SaaS solutions for small tiny verticals that are neglected by VC backed firms are the better option.

- They scale better

I don't think Bun "definitely can" run most Node code. Both Deno[1] and Bun's[2] Node compatibility are incomplete. Bun being perceived as more compatible is mostly clever marketing.

Just because somebody is called "president" doesn't mean they enjoy the same privileges as a US president. The presidency of the Council does nothing more than calling for discussions. No extra powers, no extra influence, so whoever is in charge matters way less than they'd like to claim (in this particular case to impress Putin, I would suppose).

Society plays a role, but like raising a dog, it's on the parents to socialize them and teach them how to interface with it safely.

Society cannot progress if the adults have to live in a child safe box. There must be places safe for children, but it's the parents who have to keep them from sticking their fingers in plug sockets, not putting the burden on having a third party validate their access to electrons.

If you send your child to a bar, they'll see alcohol - if you send them to the internet, they'll find the internet. I'm happy to tell you you shouldn't do that with your kids, but if you do it with yours, it's not on me to stop drinking at bars.

The way the courts handled expert witness testimony from software developers, and also the way they are now criticising it, is some through the looking glass shit. Just completely clear that they have zero context or ability to evaluate reliability of testimony, or have the right structures in place to ensure that appropriate investigations have taken place, to the extent that I now have significantly less trust about the English court system's evaluation of any case with scientific or technical elements.
The RAM also get much larger and cheaper, and it is now possible to have several terabyte (TB) of RAM memory (not storage), in a single PC or workstation. This i7 14700K can support 192 GB RAM but other lower end Xeon CPU W for workstation for example w3-2423 costing around USD350 can support 2 TB RAM albeit only 6-core [1]. But then with not so much more extra budgets you can scale the machine to your heart's content [2].

>What is an AI Factory?

>Here's how @MichaelDell defined it when we spoke in Las Vegas in May:

>"An ai factory is really a supply chain that creates intelligence. So if you think about a traditional factory, right, you've got all these ingredients and we know a lot about supply chains. It's kind of what we do, but think about it as a supply chain to create intelligence inside your company. And to do that. It all starts with data, right? If you have no data, you have no A.I., right? If you have bad data, you have bad A.I. So you've got to organize your data. It's something we know a lot about because data equals storage and we store more data than anybody in the world. If you start with the data and then, you know, you, you get into the ecosystem of all the software and the models that you're hearing about, small and large models, the retrieval augmented generation. And of course, it's not just GPUs, it's also the networking and the storage and the memory that come together."

Couldn't be less clear if he tried.
Hmm. I interpreted "[not publishing source code] goes also against the GPLv3 license that you're using" as meaning that the author is "bound" by the license to provide the source code.

Of course, the terms in GPLv3 that puts limits on the licensee / user (like that derivate works must be GPLv3) are not relevant.

But section 6 in the license stating that the source code must be distributed still holds true. Either OP distributes the source code to people who have the binaries, or the work is not licensed under GPLv3?

I don't know of many ways we enable people to do communal work, besides maybe those listed above and maybe the tax credits.

I just told you one. Charities, non-profits or foundations. These are the mechanisms that may be used to pay volunteers. There are also tax incentives for the rich to fund them, charitable donations are deductible.

I also said "We have a patch already, it just needs to be deployed more if required."

It does not matter that these people are "volunteers", for your goal is to see them funded. Saying it's not reasonable to pay them a wage for their volunteer work, doesn't jive here.

You say you just want everyone to receive cash. I don't. At all. I want people doing things of worth to society, even a portion of it to receive cash for their efforts.

You should note my culture, in that, I believe the infirm, the sick, those mentally incapable of working, and so on should receive a dignified living.

I also belive that even those just generally lazy, or to selfish to work should receive shelter, and food. They should not die from the elements, nor starve.

But I certainly believe the lazy and selfish should have no extra capital given to them by the state. Only enough to survive, no more.

I also don't think handing out cash to rich, poor, lazy, industrious alike makes sense.

Save the cash for those we really need to care for, the infirm, the sick, and so on.

There is a significant portion of people that are quite simply lazy. I believe it to be double digits.

I am not a fan of planned social governance, but if it were to happen, I'd start by prohibiting the lazy from procreating.

We don't need more of those genes.
Any person who's used an Internet-connected device has likely had curl involved. I'd be proud too if my work was one of the backbone components to modern society.
Have you looked at Luma?
Basically, yes. My last 4 days of playing with this voice assistant cost me some $3.60 for 215 requests to GPT-4o, amounting to a little under 700 000 tokens. It's something I can afford[0], but with costs like this, you can't exactly give GPT-4 access out to people for free. This cost structure doesn't work. It doesn't with GPT-4o, so it more than twice as much didn't with earlier model iterations. And yet, that is what you need if you want a general-purpose Copilot or Assistant-like system. GPT-3.5-Turbo ain't gonna cut it. Llamas ain't gonna cut it either[1].

In a large sense, Microsoft lied. But they didn't lie about capability of the technology itself - they just lied about being able to afford to deliver it for free.

[0] - Extrapolated to a hypothetical subscription, this would be ~$27 per month. I've seen more expensive and worse subscriptions. Still, it's a big motivator to go dig into the code of that integration and make it use ~2-4x fewer tokens by encoding "exposed entities" differently, and much more concisely.

lnav is amazing and I use it often. I do have a list of gripes where I think it could be improved, so I'm just going to dump them here in case you're interested:

- regex101 support for quickly defining custom formats is just awesome. Versioning support is slightly broken however, probably because regex101 changed something, so there's no easy way to update the format once you've initially imported it.

- I feel like there's missing opportunity for integration between various features.

- There are lots of different filtering capabilities, but there is no unified treatment of them. For example, `:hide-lines-before` and `:filter-out` are at their core the same type of operation: filtering. I should be able to pull up a list of all filters that are currently active and easily add new ones and toggle or delete existing ones.

- I would expect to be able to create a new view of the data using SQL `SELECT`. A select statement is fundamentally about filtering out some rows (log lines), which feels like a filter, and selecting some particular columns (log fields) and hiding others. The latter point seems like it could be something that should be handled when https://github.com/tstack/lnav/issues/1274 is resolved.
A sizeable part of Germany is nostalgic after the good ole times, be it of 50 years ago or of 90 years ago. You can see them at the voting booths.
I think Ozempic cost somewhere around $3 billion to research and develop. What’s the steel man argument for how we could charge the same for the drug in America, and fund future research with the proceeds? I don’t want to be paying $800/mo for my drugs, but if the alternative is that everyone is paying $5/mo and there’s no hope of recouping the R&D costs, then we just won’t get biomedical breakthroughs like this at all.

I think it’s easy to look at places in Europe that get drugs virtually for free, and want to be like that, but the US despite being 1/20 of the world’s population, funds something like 80% of the biomedical industry, due to our lack of price controls.

There’s so many areas of medicine where we don’t see progress because the ROI just isn’t worth it. Do we want to risk making all medicine like that?
