This is just so cool. I wonder if they’ll release the large (98b) model or gatekeep it in some way. Something that can generate a novel fluorescing sequence is amazingly cool; I bet there’s a lot of interesting work to do from here both on model tuning, preference training and also biology research side.
This is on the assumption that supply will continue to remain constrained, excess energy usage, might as well be the investments necessary to shift to more Solar Panels and renewable energy storage, high compute intensive workloads can be executed anywhere, higher energy usage, might as well incentivise optimising AI, Research and Other Compute-intensive training workloads to shift to day time, when solar power peaks, and process everything during that time. The capabilities that this unlocks are tons, driving more investment into advanced battery tech, solar tech, etc.

Higher Consumption also drives investments to generate Higher Supply and hence future surplus and improvements in standard of living.
No, that's the core issue. They are overstepping the authority granted in legislation. If Congress passes an open-ended law saying "Agency X can administer Y in accordance with rules 1,2,3" then the agency should not be able to simply decide that rules 4,5,6 should also be created. This is what has been happening for decades, has been defended by Chevron, and is being forbidden by this decision.
To this day I still don't understand why these SBC manufacturers can't agree on a boot standard to avoid this mess. It can't be simply that they never support their products and thus never have the headaches of maintaining so many different environments right? I get that ARM came from a legacy of cell phones and other embedded devices, but with RISC-V it seems like there was a golden opportunity to nail it down right from the start and it was squandered. Plus, the ARM folks should have solved this problem over a decade ago. For comparison, this problem was solved 40 years ago on PCs.
Congress is one of the least effective institutions in this country
Yeah, it's cost of living which is matched with higher salaries. Be very careful that you're adding that to the comparison. If you're not getting a commensurate higher salary, don't do it.

What makes it worth it? That's a good question. It's a big economic question. People will say, "Milk costs more but you make more so it's the same as a place where you make less but milk, say, costs less." That's not true. The milk, for this example, in Switzerland is so much better, higher quality, etc. So it's not an apple to apples comparison. Plus, when you're buying non-local items, such as any electronics, for example, or you're saving/investing or you travel, now your higher salary is paying off.

Edit: P.S. This is a rule of thumb I live by, having lived and worked in five countries: all things being equal otherwise (meaning personal preferences should be considered first), always always always go for the higher nominal income. Be careful in putting trust in things like PPP.
I had to be sure there wasn't a Mandella effect. The logo plate had "//e" reflecting the legacy of the Apple ///. (Also seen on the //c). Then the later Platinum version went to "IIe" since it was in the Macintosh & IIgs era.

The "Apple ][" in the ROM I'd guess came from how hastily they had to regroup after the Apple /// wasn't successful.
It's surprising how quickly small plane general aviation beats many forms of "pay by the person" travel.

You can fit four adults in a small plane that costs $150/hr to run and goes roughly 150 miles an hour - or a dollar a mile.

It doesn't take that much of a charge for four people on a train to equal that.

And cars are way, way cheaper.

I think the issue is that most people don't have co-morbidities and most people aren't old. So when you're told to get the vaccine, and it turns out you're actually worse off due to potential heart complications, it feels like a betrayal. By the way, it is.

Part of this, I believe, was hedging bets in the fog of war that was a global pandemic. Part of it was just raw incompetence.

I am genuinely curious as someone who got every shot and booster. Do I actually benefit from this one? My understanding is the last one I did not statistically benefit from.
The openness is working exactly as intended: companies left and right are designing their own RISC-V chips without having to pay exorbitant license fees to some IP holder for the rights.
The reason I didn’t go with a ticket-based approach is that we don’t have a perfect 1-to-1 mapping of commits to tickets. The worry was that we would miss commits because they weren’t well-associated. Because the tool we made is web-based, it’s a little less scary for non-devs.
Given how rapidly the price of batteries and solar are falling, it seems absurd to think it will make any economic sense to spend tens of billions of dollars on a monster fusion plant.

China are churning out regular old fission plants, and have 27 under construction right now. Even still, the average build time is 7 years.

So even if we get some breakthrough and figure out how to build a commercial fusion plant, it's a certainty it won't be up and running for something like 10-15 years. Solar and batteries will be so cheap there won't be any discussions.
It depends how that's distributed.

If we had one hour per day without power that would be about 95% availability. Most of us wouldn't even notice that if it happened in the middle of the night.

If we had 100% availability with an 18-day stretch without power that would be about 95% availability, but it would be hugely disruptive.

GDPR also allows for processing for a company's "legitimate interests", which is supposed to be a balancing test, but Uber could argue it needs to process ID documents to ensure safety on its platform. If the company refuses to delete, the only option you have is to escalate to a data supervisory authority and have them adjudicate on it.

But more generally, GDPR has multiple legal bases for processing other than consent, and for any other than consent the processor might still be able to process data despite the right to be forgotten. And IME big company data processors tend to interpret these exceptions quite liberally, hoping people won't have the means to challenge their decision.
Well Wikipedia says there is a narrow definition, that necessarily involves boiling of a liquid. This is the one I always used.

But in the broader sense, it seems to also mean the preparing of meals, but I never encountered it like this.

"Kochen (von lateinisch coquere, „kochen, sieden, reifen“ entlehnt) ist im engeren Sinne das Erhitzen einer Flüssigkeit bis zum und am Siedepunkt, im Weiteren das Garen oder Zubereiten von Lebensmitteln allgemein"

"es kocht" literally means, it is boiling.
I don't know. I bought into the Python hype and after a few years I've found myself missing R. If you're using the full python ecosystem more power to you...but for straight up data analysis and statistics, R is unbeatable.

The sky is really big. No detection will ever be 100%.
I have tried to use JetBrains IDEs a few times because I hear they are great and more productive, but I find that I don't know them well enough to be more productive in them... so I think to myself "do I really want to invest the time to learn this tool if it could be made unavailable to me in the future". To be fair to JetBrains, once you buy a license, you always own the license to the last version while you had a subscription, so you are never really cut off from using the old version... however, I also prefer to be able to fork and continue to evolve my tools. So yeah, JetBrains has one of the best proprietary software release models I have ever seen. I just haven't ever been able to justify jumping in when I am already used to the open source alternatives. All the praise to Jetbrains though, they have a great model and they really support a lot of open source development too!
I agree with you 100%. We need a better solution. A narrow tax on the wealthy specifically for homelessness would be fantastic.

I am deeply suspicious of "taxes on X" because that money rarely, if ever, goes to where it's most needed. It would be great to create a tax on the wealthy which may only be used for homeless accommodations, first, services for the homeless second, and everything else last. If there was a clear 1:1 application of those tax dollars I think it would receive wide support, but I doubt politicians would allow money to be so limited like that. Not when there are so many other...issues they would rather spend it on.
A modern airliner is rated to something like 3-4G's including the safety factor, probably much more if it's not at max takeoff weight. I'm sure you could do a Mythbusters-style test but I'd assume most passengers would pass out from the negative and positive G forces long before the aircraft structurally failed.
Maybe we're just weird imperfectly evolved creatures, and that there is no "ideal" way to do some of these activities? I mean, we make do as best we can, and in some respects we've been successful as a species, but I think that's been in large part due to our adaptability. And the thing about being very adaptable is that you're never perfectly suited for any one thing.
Everyone is entitled to due process and a certain burden of proof regardless of whether or not the vast majority are generally guilty.

The courts should not be dictated by efficiency, but by everyone's rights being fully respected. I understand what reality is but we should strive for better and accept nothing less.

Funny. Seems like it bent pretty hard in the last election. Why should we only honor the bends to the right?
To be fair, the same could be said about a lot of gamers. People spend $1000+ on a gaming PC and even if they enjoy playing competitively, most of them never go pro. I wonder if pro tennis is a case of people not wanting to go pro or not being able to go pro.

Edit: I think a handful of people are misunderstanding my point. I'm saying that not everything has to have a monetary return on investment. Even if the "opportunity cost" of spending all that time grinding is super high, the return is just the enjoyment that one gets from playing the game or from feeling accomplished to reach a certain goal/rank even if it's not pro level.

These discussions generally do not cover Knaanic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knaanic_language. Based on Old Czech, it is the first language like Yiddish or Ladino and predates all of them by like 500 years.
If you ignore the labels here, it's a small group of lawyers giving themselves more power because the large group of politicians can't get their act together and pass well-reasoned and descriptive laws.

So the large body isn't functioning well and the small body doesn't trust it anymore. So if we make the small body (the supreme court) large like the large body (congress) will that actually fix the issue?

Isn't the issue that politicians are corrupt and ignorant of actual expertise in the areas of the laws they pass? How will the Supreme Court overcome this same issue?
I understand, but I think I read it as the diseases-we-have-good-interventions-for-list. We can work on more efficient distribution, but it seems like a relatively minor issue.

POSIWID.
It would be great if more externalities were priced in to the cost of energy, but there doesn't seem to be anything special about AI datacenters vs. any other use of energy. Data centers actually seem much more consciences about the impacts of their energy. I don't think I've read any headlines about cement plants trying to switch to 100% renewable.
I understand that the actual playing the matches is very isolating too: there may be a crowd of people watching the 2 players but it's just them on the court battling it out. The intensity of the battle and its psychological components probably adds to the isolation on the court, and loneliness off it.
Comments moved to the latter. Thanks!
I dont inderstand your issue with this. Is it that they share their work several places, or that they don't describe their work in an unique way every time?

Ok, but is there any hard evidence that's what's happening here? I could see the party changing their collective mind, but that's not been done kind of plan from what I've seen.
Fair warning. I just have a different outlook on these things.
As usual, Twitter is impressed by this, but I'm very skeptical, the chance of it breaking your program is pretty high. The thing that makes optimizations so hard to make is that they have to match the behavior without optimizations (unless you have UBs), which is something that LLMs probably will struggle with since they can't exactly understand the code and execution tree.
Yeah, interesting and fair points. With the investor hat on, it makes sense to buy in to all of them, of course — doesn’t matter who wins from a portfolio returns point of view.

From a predict-the-future point of view, I’ll say that Anthropic’s progress this year precisely backs your point that taste might in fact matter. Last year I would have said safety concerns had irrevocably ruined their product, but I would have been wrong.

The nature of the company / group that does get to some scale-out breakthrough probably has a big impact here. It’s easiest for me to imagine NVIDIA getting a sustained lead with some sort of exotic layout / rapid chip iteration AGI than for a newcomer that’s going to be competing with an app. But, to your point I guess it depends on how much taste gets you - a year? Ten years? A few months?

If it’s a California company, meaning no non-compete, I would guess that taste gets you max two years, maybe more like one. You’ll instantly have every member of the engineering team in the know able to raise $1bn+ for their own startup, and some will do so. So, you’ll want to be deeply embedded, really rich, and part of global infrastructure before you get there in order to capitalize on your lead. Which, to me, leads back to OA/MS as the current winner.

See you in a couple years — looking forward to finding out what happens.
That’s funny.
My take is exactly the reverse.

Solar power can 100% solve our energy needs today. It’s cost effective at the unit level. It works at scale. It decentralizes nicely.
Did I mention that it works?
Every home could have rooftop solar for less than it costs to produce centralized power plants. (I have rooftop solar and it cost significantly less than a new car now my power costs won’t go up for 20 years at which point the panels might need a refresh but that part of the system is the cheapest part)

We could easily flip from subsidizing fossil fuels to subsidizing rooftop solar today and realize significant gains (higher roi by shifting the investment). If you spent one years investment in fusion and fossil fuel subsidies on deploying rooftop solar and grid scale batteries you’d change the energy story permanently.
Energy would suddenly be plentiful. Fossil fuels would permanently shift out of relevance.
Fission reactors would look like quaint and staggeringly expensive tools of a bygone age. And fusion which DOES NOT WORK. Would look even more like a silly dream.(We are no closer to fusion than we were 30 years ago.)

Why the fuck are we still talking about fusion when we have something that works?

Ironically enough, professional pickleball players today are making more money than WNBA players and more money than most of the folks that this article talks about.
From the original article in the thread:

> Those “rich fucks” kept Johnny on the road, mind, as he offered a racket-stringing service to players.
Johnny has claimed he’s the only player ever to make a consistent living on the Futures tour, and he kept overheads low, running the school bus on vegetable oil. More recently, he has been making YouTube videos about “extreme couponing”, where he lists the great savings he has made on his weekly grocery shop.
> That's simply not true.

It's a simplification. Temperature also influences it to not always be the most probable character, as an example.

So you have orbiting panels that will do what? Beam the energy back to earth? Isn't the sun beaming energy to earth directly? What problems do orbiting panels solve?
The behavior of the homeless people living in a public park often makes said park unusable for everyone except them. How do you reconcile that fact with your opinion that "public parks are for everyone"? A public park provides far broader use to the general public when used as a park for all, as opposed to a campsite, chop shop, or drug dealing hotspot.

React has yet another templating language.

Sounds like we agree that JS isn't a shitty programming language, but that's hardly unique to react.
Probably a dumb question, but... is it basically proven then that gravity doesn't exist (it's effects are just a result of spacetime's geometry?). Because it seems like these gravitational waves experiments show that spacetime exists and has measurable geometry. Yet every time quantum mechanics comes up everyone talks about how we haven't found the gravity force carrier yet which doesn't make sense to me if gravity doesn't exist and is a consequence of the geometry of spacetime.

I'm sure Futures events are isolating and lonely, but it seems the author was quick to cast judgment on the players who prioritized socializing over winning at all costs.
State management is the worst part of React IMO. Basic things with `useState` aren't too bad but as soon as things get a bit more complex you need to reach for a separate library to make it easier. Unfortunately all of the popular options make use of weird patterns like reducers.

I ended up rolling my own state management that lets you just write a normal JS class with normal fields and methods and use that for accessing and modifying your state. No reducers, atoms, stores, etc... Just a JS class for your state and logic.

> You're not describing how a tiling WM fails to satisfy your needs.

Yes I don't want repeated toolbars because they are waste of space when they are repeated in each window/pane - having to switch browsers isn't the point, the discussion is about what Firefox can do to improve its user's life (even if everyone doesn't expect/need split panes in their browser, some do). Because I don't want to manage 4 windows tiled like 4 panes - I want to manage a single window with 4 panes. What happens if I close one of 4? Now I have a gap that an related or unrelated window will fill or it'll be a wasted space - this doesn't happen in case of split panes because the other panes will expand to take the space. I logically group my work in separate windows - so in a split pane setup, once I'm done, I close a single window instead of closing the separate "pane-like" windows one by one.
