There was a russian scientist that did research on domestication of fox's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitri_K._Belyaev

He found that by breeding and selecting for the more human friendly animals they became tamer and tamer. Now they are to the point of domestication. True domestication as I have heard from some means that the animal cannot thrive in the wild as its wild counter part can. This is a technical labeling issue as in some dogs have reversed domestication on some islands etc.

The fox story in russia is interesting since they found that there was a reduction in adrenaline in the fox's as they became tamer and tamer. The reduction caused them to adopt traits similar to domesticated dogs: wagging tails, floppy ears, coat color change. They did embronic transplants and found wild mothers with tame embryo's raised tame offspring and the opposite was also true. So it was a genetic change that resulted in this taming. It only took 50 generations to result in the change.

It would not be that far off to think that humans gave food to cooperative animals and killed the aggressive ones.

Under labor conditions I would say at least 50 generations. But without these perfect conditions it is easy to imagine that it takes longer.
"Never have the limitations of existing insurance and payment models been more evident. "

Is the limitation really the payment model?

They're having trouble keeping up with demand, even at the current high prices.

It appears that the innovation has to occur at scaling the manufacturing.
The legacies of systems are a practical reality, not a "core principle" of computer science, that's the issue with the claim. Computer science barely even concerns itself with the limitations of real hardware, much less giving two shits about software legacies.

The conflating is no doubt coming from how many cs programs heavily comingle computer science with vocational training for becoming a programmer, but they're not the same thing.

The reality is that high drug prices are what incentivize companies to go through the process of creating/designing/trialing them. They will get cheaper with time as the techniques become commodities.

The US should probably negotiate 'most favored nation' status so they get the lowest price offered among the OECD (maybe adjusted by national income per capita) such that there is less global free ridership - but even that probably won't do that much to shift the cost burden.

We should also invest in lowering the costs of drug design & trialing so we can lower the risk premium and startup cost.
The point here isn’t to give users any kind of truth. It already isn’t YouTube goal. Wether we’re talking about the videos or the ads, they’re happy spreading ridiculous nonsense.

The only point of these kinds of platforms, for worse and for worse, is to give users what they want. So hallucinations wouldn’t matter, as long as the end result matches users’ preferences.
Couldn't you write this about almost any technological innovation?

Traditionally, avant garde tech is very expensive and available in limited quantities, then prices come down and things become more broadly affordable.

Every drug was a whizzy new drug at some point. Most of them are now common and affordable. The people who the drug will help cheaply in 20 years will benefit greatly.

He also appears to have no understanding of why government agencies and large corporations don't have to. Multiple times he says that such organizations need an innovation strategy or they will be out-competed. But government agencies and large corporations (which are mainly large because of the advantages of being large in an environment heavily regulated by government) don't have to worry about being out-competed, because they have insulated themselves from competition.
Needed this post and this comment. And hopefully I'm not misreading either.

I think a prerequisite is Micropayments being ubiquitously available by using your existing preferred payment instrument. Content business models can’t really develop until this happens since the ad-supported business model has lowered the price consumers are willing to pay for it.

Although the unit price of content has decreased so much, I think the total value of content created has gone up significantly. It’s just that the new price people are willing to pay for is below the price floor companies can charge people using existing solutions such as debit/credit cards. With those solutions you can’t profitable go below a dollar.

The unavailability of the infrastructure prevents entrepreneurs from developing the business and related revenue models.

It’s less of a tech industry problem and more of a banking/payments/finance industry problem.

“financial innovation” is a nice way to say “be less greedy”
This isn't meant as a judgment against China, but China openly wishes to lead an anti-US/anti-West economic and political coalition, has spun up its tech industry largely through espionage conducted against the West, and is increasingly militaristic and aggressive towards US allies (Phillipines, Taiwan) in the region. We can debate about the US approach to maintaining hegemony (the very idea may be fundamentally misguided), but it would be downright foolish for the United States to view China as anything like a friend.

I don’t have a problem when drugs for some obscure rare disease have an astronomical price tag associated with it. The problem starts when the cost of developing a cure for them is used as an excuse to charge $200 for a bag of saline. We have the best care in the world, but for when things go terribly wrong. And most people can barely afford it. Meanwhile, the primary care and basic affordable care is lacking.
It's pretty easy to see where they're coming from.

Apple's approach to AI integration draws a pretty clear line between the part that Apple controls and takes credit/blame for privacy of (i.e. on-device models and their private cloud system) and third-parties that require specific consent to send data to (ChatGPT).

If the EU decided that Apple has to allow their whole on-device and private cloud stack to be warning-less-ly swapped out for PII_GrabberGPT, NüdLeaker Pro, or ScamBot9000 if the user chooses it from a legally required randomized menu, then I can see why they would have rational concerns about user privacy.
Not to minimize anything about what IA is doing, but there's also efforts that say "Fuck the system" and operate outside of it.

Why has insulin prices gone up then?
Trusting software at any level only becomes relevant after trust in hardware is established. In the case of Huawei, I distrust any hardware that they produce, so it doesn't matter what they run on top of it.
Please, your first response to me was full of sneer and snark. Don't cry about it now. I don't see any response to my points about markman hearings and the motion to dismiss deadlines, just more and more about how litigants shouldn't select judges (but it is somehow okay for big tech companies to do it!) when the western district has already changed its case assignment rules...

>I would want further information. I've never seen anything substantive that claims that such procedural matters are the chief concern of people who have an issue with the Eastern District. Usually, it's things like the above.

You don't know what you are talking about because you don't litigate patents and you just consume pearl clutching media from anti-patent sources. Patent plaintiffs go to those jurisdictions for that reason, Albright isn't particularly friendly to Plaintiffs, but you don't realize that, you just think they chose them because.... you can't explain why. Albright was a big law patent partner, working almost exclusively for the defense. It'd be nice if you could actually get on point here.

Do you have any evidence that shows Albright produces plaintiff-favorable outcomes? No, just pearl clutching.
We're talking about allophonic differences here, which are notoriously hard for native speakers to hear.

More people need to be aware of how the drug development costs are distributed. It’s the clinical trials, not R&D, which contributes to astronomical cost, and that price is emphatically NOT set by the pharmaceutical companies that the public loves to point their fingers at.
> some infinitesimal amount?

What does that even mean? If we're rejecting the notion of an irrational, then the statement, "some infinitesimal amount" might as well be "some gorkly boggleboop".

Sure, we can approximate to whatever precision is required for building a wall or calculating an orbit, but math itself would be hobbled by trying to make discoveries with the handicap of only allowing rationals.

> given that right isosceles triangles do exist in reality and their hypotenuse has a definite length?

I might be agreeing with you in a sideways manner, but right isosceles triangles don't exist in reality. Nor do any of the simple shapes like squares and circles. We have physical things that approximate those ideal shapes, but even the most precise triangle will not have a perfect right or 45 deg angle. Nor will the real-world hypotenuse be precisely sqrt(2). These physical items are made of a countable amount of molecules each of which is in some quantized state. Hell, the length of each side of the most perfect triangle we can make will be in constant flux.

So for practical everyday purposes, sure. We can't work directly with irrationals, and there's no need to. But for making new discoveries in math, we must work out how to deal with "weird new" classes of numbers, like 0, or the negatives, or the complex, etc.

Each one of those classes of numbers has survived because it has proven useful. If you can identify the "something wrong with how we think about this issue", you would probably win a big old prize for that :)
iirc Huawei shipped one of the first mainstream folding phones at a time when their only competition was Samsung and they both released them around the same time.

Huawei also did fancy stuff with their cameras during their partnership with Leica and they even started the trend of putting periscope zoom lenses in phones if I'm not mistaken.

Their SoC Kirin 970 had the first NPU when all other vendors didn't yet ship any neural acceleration in hardware.

Sure, they're probably stealing from the competition, but so does everyone else.

They're also doing remarkable stuff with modern mobile SoCs despite Western sanctions.

> A "liberal democracy" where the head of state can have random citizens murdered?

Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki (also spelled al-Aulaqi, Arabic: عبدالرحمن العولقي; August 26, 1995 – October 14, 2011) was a 16-year-old United States citizen who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen.

The U.S. drone strike that killed Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki was conducted under a policy approved by U.S. President Barack Obama

Human rights groups questioned why Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was killed by the U.S. in a country with which the United States was not at war. Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, stated "If the government is going to be firing Predator missiles at American citizens, surely the American public has a right to know who's being targeted, and why."

I've found that for speeding up design generation like that, most of the utility comes from the coding approach.

> If you present a simple chess board to an LLM or a complex board to an LLM and ask it to generate the next move, it always responds in the same amount of time.

Is that true, especially if you ask it to think step-by-step?

I would think the model has certain associations for simple/common board states and different ones for complex/uncommon states, and when you ask it to think step-by-step it will explain the associations with a particular state. That "chattiness" may lead it to using more computation for complex boards.
Which insulin?
I think it's understandable. If they allow any dependence on a community that includes the West, it will be snatched away simply for the sake of damaging China. Western governments have openly stated that their enemy is Chinese prosperity. Huawei has been enemy #1, simply for being successful.

I think the question would be if through China's closer alliances with other BRICS and the global South, would they feel comfortable opening up to developers outside the NATOsphere? They may have just soured on FOSS altogether, seeing as it doesn't allow them to accrue any advantage, and the West will simply ban any sharing in China's direction if US demagogues feel that it might hurt.

> you need to send them a government id, and their recommended getting started paths are all using some cloud workstation & cloud device testing setups. The barriers to "hello world" are enormous.

This seems like they're going to attempt to control things by keeping it on Chinese infrastructure, and only letting allies onto that infrastructure. Maybe that tactic might ultimately lead to China becoming a feasible alternative to US infrastructure in the rest of the world. They will probably have to understand that other people won't tolerate the sort of control they extend over their own citizens' network usage to do that. They'll either have to partition their infrastructure for export, or loosen up domestically. Chinese people are generally patriotic and know what they're up against, they don't have to be watched like children.

As the Western internet goes in the direction of the Chinese internet, maybe China can turn around and go in the other direction.

aside: I love that they didn't give this language an English name, or even a name that an English speaker would have a clue of how to pronounce.
Cos market consolidation and collusion is a more powerful force than technological progress.
For dialects that have this (not all English dialects do), the difference in time for the two words is precisely the difference in time for the two vowels.

Senior engineers have less opportunity to write time consumingly careful code because they get paid so much. Much easier to throw new great hardware at it.
Insulin is not the same insulin that was first created - they have modified it with improvements to make the metabolic process much smoother.
The thing that I miss mainly about CDs and floppies and even SD cards to an extent is that they were actually integrated into the machine itself.

Modern removable storage solutions just use the Universal Serial Bus, and could look like anything, and have no specified shape or size, and stick out of the machine.

CDs, floppies, and SDs slide nicely into a dedicated opening, and go all the way in. They’re nicely stackable and sortable. You can even write on them for quick labeling. Very user friendly.
Because this way they don’t have to rely on pesky people to produce content that maximises the engagement and retention of the other pesky people to which they want to show as many ads as possible.

I am not implying this is a good thing. Or a bad one. It’s just a step further down the same path we’re already on, while taking an unreliable and costly middle-man (content producing users) out of the picture.
Thanks for the friendly reply, mate! I wasn't trying to be rude, it all just seemed a bit odd. I've got a better impression of that project now and I wish you and your team all the best.
To fulfill this inspiring vision of local autonomous private sensing, we'll need optical ("Li-Fi") wireless networking, or large-scale RF shielding for perimeter surfaces (wall, window, floor, ceiling), as 2024-onward PCs and other devices ship with human activity recognition radar a.k.a. Wi-Fi 7 Sensing.

We will also need robust network perimeter firewalls with 10+ years of security updates, preferably based on reproducible, open-source, memory-safe software for all security-critical functions, unlike existing consumer routers that are routinely pwned.
As someone who works on our SSO implementation, the reason for the SSO tax is twofold:

- Positioning: it’s seen as an enterprise product so attracts enterprise pricing

- Support: it’s genuinely a high touch feature which lots of customers fuck up all the time in the same way and always needs support and engineering help.

Documentation for those issues? We have it, it doesn’t stop the support requests coming in. I was looking at a request this morning where the error message is coming from Azure itself and clearly says “this is not configured correctly.” The request hasn’t even reached our systems yet!

Until SSO is as plug n play for users as Google Sign-in, SSO will continue to attract a high price point. And I’ll continue to push back on attempts internally to democratise it.
