I Guess you must not be riding it as much as you think you do. I’m an infrequent rider and I’ve seen 2 altercations and multiple (10+) disturbances since January.

The funniest (or not if you’re not from SF) was a guy boarding a full bus with a 7 foot long dining table with the legs attached, arguing and threatening anyone who protested. Eventually he dropped the thing on someone’s foot and starting an altercation which delayed everyone by 15 mins.
I think the insecurity of being alone forces people to find something that makes them feel like they are not “sheep” and thus provide some modicum of validation for their existence. When you’re alone, you can also be as wild and wacky as you want because there’s no one to push back against it.

This is very much not the case - Startups are quite big in SK because the government gives them lots of funding.

The idea of trusting any AI with the error rate, "hallucination" tendencies and general fuckery of GPT with life-or-death decisions in any human sphere is ghastly.

If the idea of humans in the loop has been massively displaced from customer service in the major BigTech megacorps (nearly a foregone surrender to tendency by now) let's hope it at least stays out of other much more critical areas.
Are you still talking about Apache here?
I don't think that applies to the ESP32 family of devices. I've never heard of DSP hardware onboard them.

I think the comment you're referring to is talking about the architecture in general, but not the silicon we're discussing here.
The question I ask with these studies is "what is a conspiracy?", because there is a big difference between people who think the world is flat and people who think there is something fishy about, say, the Jeff Epstein saga. In this case we seem to be talking about the conspiracy mentality questionnaire [0]. So they've found a correlation between loneliness and what seems to be a 5 question survey.

To me, this says that lonely people probably have more time to reflect on the world. For example more social people don't have time to keep track of, say, the financial and electronic tracking systems that have been developed over the last 20 or so years. They really are quite frightening considering what the Nazis achieved in 1940s tech. The next industrial genocide may well be unprecedented. How alert people are to that fact is probably correlated to Q3.

There is a glob() function you can use in POSIX C also to get an array of strings.

The getdents system call being used in the above program is the basis for implementing readdir.

It doesn't return a string, but rather a buffer of multiple directory entries.

The program isn't parsing a giant string; it is parsing out the directory entry structures, which are variable length and have a length field so the next one can be found.

The program writes each name including the null terminator, so that the output is suitable for utilities which understand that.
The question though is how you make something that complex and not have it be a horror though, and is stackless python really the culprit of the horror vs anything else they could have built it in.
I don't think any one thing is better than the other. When you're a kid you should just be exploring new areas that might interest you. I tried Boy Scouts but didn't really click with the other groups of kids. Sports were good because they were seasonal and you could try out different things to find out what you were good at. I also think art and music are good for kids to try out. I took guitar lessons as a kid and have good memories and learned a lot.

I actually watched the entire video in the article.

There were some private driveway situations where the uploader intervened to back out to go to a new destination (but Waymo drops you off half a block away and makes you walk instead of entering your driveway, so it's not possible to compare). And there were some situations where a human driver honked - this has happened to me in Waymo as well. There was one situation where the Tesla didn't seem sure if it could proceed, but Waymo in that scenario would ask a remote operator (this has happened to me in both Waymo and Cruise) and presumably Tesla robotaxi can also have remote operators.

The only case where he actually disengaged was at a stop sign with a slip lane, and the car turned right at the stop sign instead of turning right using the slip lane. He went there again at the end of the video and the car used the slip lane. I don't see this as an unfixable problem, because clearly the car can use slip lanes to turn, it just needs to be taught to always prefer slip lanes when turning.

So, your own video disproves what you're saying. It isn't failing at basic driving tasks.

I think the mistake you're making is assuming that they will never be good enough. A lot of people said the same thing about Google/Waymo until they actually rode in one.

> How long am I supposed to wait, as my still-modern AMD GPU sits still-unsupported?

Which GPU do you have? At least according to these docs, on linux the upper chunk of RDNA3 is supported officially but from experience, basically all 6xxx or 7xxxx cards are unofficially supported if you build it for your target arch. 5xxx cards get the short end of the stick and got skipped (they were a rough launch) but Radeon VII cards should also still be officially supported (with support shifting to unofficial status in the next release).

https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/compatibility/compatibil...

And given that ROCm is pretty core to AMD's support for the windows AI stack (via ONNX), you can assume any new GPUs released from here on out will be supported.

This is a good article!

In ClickHouse, interval arithmetic is applied to index analysis. A sparse index consists of granules, and each granule is an interval of tuples in lexicographic order. This interval is decomposed into a union of hyperrectangles. Conditions such as comparisons, logic operators, and many other functions are evaluated on these hyperrectangles, yielding boolean intervals. Boolean intervals represent ternary logic (always true, always false, can be true or false). Interesting tricks include: applying functions that are monotonic on ranges (for example, the function "day of month" is monotonic as long as the month does not change), calculating function preimages on intervals, and even calculating preimages of n-ary functions, which is useful for space-filling curves, such as Morton or Hilbert curves.

> the insecurity of being alone forces people to find something that makes them feel like they are not “sheep”

It’s one deeper. It’s the anxiety of confronting the fact that nobody is in charge, there isn’t a secret cabal pulling the strings, it’s a bunch of competing, chaotic forces that you’re caught—somewhat meaninglessly—in the middle of.

Replacing that with a puppeteer, even a horrible one, is relieving. (The fact that inventing divine origins for natural phenomena—and cruel gods—is so well preserved across cultures extant and historic strikes at this being a need, not a comfort.)
You'll need a massive amount of batteries for solar night. People severely over-estimate battery storage.

Even on earth, giant grid-scale storage system are not able to supply all the power for region they serve alone for more than some 4 or 6 hours. In the moon, they would have to supply power for some two weeks.

Battery storage is not a real solution on earth, it is even less plausible in the moon.

Kurzweil's vision of the technological singularity may be more distant than his optimistic predictions suggest.

The concept of a singularity - a point of rapid, transformative change beyond which predictions become unreliable - is inherently challenging to analyze. However, examining historical examples of singularity-like events can provide valuable insights.

- The Big Bang: Often regarded as the ultimate singularity, this event marked the birth of our universe and the beginning of space, time, and matter as we understand them.

- The emergence of organic life: The transition from inorganic matter to self-replicating, complex organisms represents another fundamental shift in the nature of our world.

- The evolution of human consciousness: The development of our species, with its unprecedented cognitive abilities and capacity for abstract thought, can be seen as a singularity in the progression of life on Earth.

These examples share a common characteristic: while their impacts are immeasurably significant, the full realization of their consequences unfolds over vast periods of time. The Big Bang occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago, yet the universe continues to evolve.

Life on Earth emerged roughly 3.5 billion years ago, with complex multicellular organisms appearing much later.

Human beings have existed for a mere fraction of that time, yet our impact on the planet is still unfolding.

Drawing parallels to these historical singularities, it's reasonable to infer that even if a technological singularity were to occur within the next few decades, its effects would likely manifest gradually rather than instantaneously.

The idea that such an event would fundamentally alter every aspect of our existence "in the blink of an eye" may be an oversimplification.

Consider, for example, the Industrial Revolution. While it dramatically transformed society, economy, and technology, these changes occurred over decades and centuries, not overnight.

Similarly, the ongoing Digital Revolution has been reshaping our world for several decades, with its full impact still unfolding.

> it’s an emergent feature of the system

It is an emergent feature of trade. Realistically, there is always going to be someone who has something you want more than what they want from you, creating an imbalance. Trade and capitalism are not synonymous, though.

Consider the most primitive type of trade humans engage in: Sex. There is little question that the most sexually attractive "at the top" have way more power than those "at the bottom". People will fall over themselves for a chance to please the "hot girl" all while the "homely guy" doesn't even get the time of day. This is the same type of hierarchy that is featured in the larger discussion taking place here...

...Yet is not capitalism. If you do think that kind of sexual hierarchy is capitalism or a product of capitalism, you are not using a definition that aligns with any common usage. Sex appeal is not traditionally considered capital. Capitalism wasn't even invented when these human sexual dynamics came into existence.

> No I didn’t have trade in mind, listen to my words.

Your words are poorly chosen. I do my best to infer, but there is only so much to work with.
That just depends on how you look at it and what your opinion is with regards to what the role of governments should be.

I'd argue that its terrible from the angle of government overreach, this still seems well within the realm of a free market problem.

I'd also argue its terrible that corporate law is almost entirely boiled down to fines with no person really having to live with the consequences of their actions. That effectively makes it an accounting game, you're totally fine breaking the law as long as (a) its just a corporate expense and (b) you believe that you'll make more money breaking the law than you will lose in court.

In Kurzweil's version, Moore's law is not a metric of transistor capacity per dollar, but instead is an exponential growth of the amount of information that humans can leverage. He claims that this has been going for thousands of years and continues (quite vertically) now.

Subhraag, the inventor of the Infinitone here! A friend of mine just told me about this thread. Please write to me at subhraag (at) infinitone.com. I made this instrument the way I did because it was within my skill set (and budget) to do so. I am absolutely open to collaboration to improve it.
A friend described that era (looking back from the 2010s) as the "amateur web". Another thing worth mentioning is nobody really had any idea how to be responsive.

The technology for it barely worked (things like percent widths for table cells) but design professionals did not know how to deal with it at all. They all came from print. The only upside is that the number of possible screen resolutions were pretty small.
Does this work?

X = 1 with probability 0.5, 0 with probability 0.5
Y = 0 when X = 1, 1 when X = 0 (for the \omega for which X(\omega) = 1, Y(\omega) = 0).

They're both bernoulli distributions with p=0.5 (i.e. they follow the same distribution) and P(X=Y) = 0
> but that also involves an exponential increase in cost

Not necessarily. For training, yes. But there surely will be custom hardware specialized for the inference of "1-bit" quantized models, which could be orders of magnitude more energy-effective than GPUs.

Hell, you probably can even bake trained models in silicon. Maybe instead of digital logic, use analog circuits. Photonics?

I believe there's so much room for improvement and I feel that GPUs are just the "training wheels" (lol, quite literally) — there will be exponentially more effective hardware for running LLMs.
I fell into the lableak/fauci covering it up conspiracy theory
No I'd actually rather see the opposite. If we really think its imperative that the government defines corporate laws then I'd want to see companies and those making decisions held legally liable.

Corporate law as it stands today is more of a game of accounting, trying to figure out what laws you break and how you make more profit from it then you may lose in court. Is it really so important that our governments define these laws only to chase companies for legal cases that either amount to nothing or a fraction of the profits gained? Would we be better off either not having the laws at all, or by enforcing those laws with criminal penalty to those people shown to have knowingly made decisions to break the law?

> Would we be better off either not having the laws at all, or by enforcing those laws with criminal penalty to those people shown to have knowingly made decisions to break the law?

Yes to this part though. We shouldn't be writing laws enforcible in perpetuity when we can't even define what the law covers. How are citizens meant to stay on the right side of the law when the laws are purposely gray get still punishable after clarifying the details later?

The US is too invested (literally) in Big Tech right now, as it gives them a geopolitical advantage. That's why they have not broken up anything for real lately. But this feed-the-giant policy is already, though slowly, starting to crack. Look at how Congress is caught by the balls by Microsoft (“The US government’s dependence on Microsoft poses a serious threat to US national security,” says US senator Ron Wyden. [1]), and yet they cannot do anything about it because they have no alternative; a self-inflicted wound from decades of inaction.

Like the other comment here, it's ironic that it is the EU pulling from the market/capitalism playbook now.

In New Jersey the problem was grocery delivery companies. Like, yes, if I have a constant stream of any packaging I’m going to dispose of it.

In California, stores giving away free bags seems to have compounded the problem. Banning single-use plastic bags and adding a bag tax seems like the way to go.

The end conclusion was "having a single superdominant proprietary browser is stupid." This probably extends to other communications software like productivity apps.

The only reason the Web exists as it does now is because of Firefox. Even with the ruling, Microsoft put IE into maintenance mode and disbanded the team once IE6 won. The only reason IE7 came about was because Netscape opened their source code, and eventually firefox started really gaining popularity. And that was only because it was a foundation and volunteers, not a proprietary business (otherwise it would have died like the others.)

So you can thank the Netscape and Mozilla folks that the modern web isn't still IE6 with the state of the art being the marquee tag, ActiveX, and VBSctipt/ancient JavaScript.
