I've seen that claim made but I've not seen it in reality.

There are examples of where LLMs are useful for information retrieval in that they can take vague queries and produce good summaries, but they're just as likely to produce reasonable-sounding nonsense that needs to be carefully verified.

I've also seen examples where LLMs can produce code that implements well-defined toy problems but when used on a real software system with millions of lines of context they do not produce code that can remain coherent with the system.

From what I've seen LLMs have yet to graduate from "impressive demo" and everyone characterizing them as being a revolution are still describing some potential future state with no real evidence that we'll get there with this technology or any time soon.
Fusion: Turbulence, plus Naiver-Stokes was known to be hard, plus adding in EM fields, plus the exothermic state change of the nuclei fusing introduces discontinuous jumps in the free energy.

Collatz: if you replace 1 and 3 with arbitrary parameters, Conway showed that this class of problems is undecidable, so any particular instance could be arbitrarily hard.
'but most of the world works on “fuck you I’ve got mine”'

I think this is an oversimplification and misrepresentation. I certainly see it in some additudes (my wife's opinion of aome of our neighbors, unfortunately), but there are some others. I more often see the additudes that come from responsibility. Like you mentioned about not giving money but food instead. Most government housing comes with some sort of requirements currently. I think many people just want assurances that the money is helping people and that they aren't being taken advantage of.
Because the institutional response was explicitly to backstop housing as an investment instead of as a basic need/resource. If they'd let the banks fail, nationalized the toxic assets that no one else wanted, and wrote off the mortgages as losses, no one in their right mind would have written a new one for years. Which sucks if you make your money off mortgages, but I'm unconvinced that it would have destroyed our ability to build houses.
I know that we "want" investment in AI, but I'd be perfectly happy if Wallstreet stays the heck out of this whole situation. Every time investment money gets into a topic - not company, not an industry, a topic - it becomes an absolute mess.

Investment feels like a micromanager that won't let you do your work.
I’m not sure Dave noticed to be honest. To this day, I’ve never heard him mention or talk about it in public or in private chat.

It also wasn’t me running a shadow campaign or something. We were all talking about it and joking about it. At the time it was a “funny because it’s true” joke. I didn’t even mind so much, I felt like if he valued doing other things more, then he’s an adult and can make his decisions. Maybe the feeling is best described as “I’m not mad, just disapointed.”

There’s also a history of Dave doing the opening keynote and Aaron doing the closing one. And it’s mostly filled with jokes about the opening keynote.

I guess the reason I brought up that anecdote is that it was indicative of the culture he built around the development. We didn’t feel free to speak or minds or share our feelings on things that bothered us to him or around him, when those things involved him. Jokes in public were kind of the only commonly used channel. Provided they’re not too harsh and don’t go over some invisible line.

Maybe I was hoping it started a dialog or something. But it didn’t. I hoped to talk to him privately after the basecamp stuff but he didn’t come to RailsConf in Portland in 2022 either, and then he started a whole foundation to kill RailsConf (as I see it). So here we are.
if you create a posting that you know will never be filled or for a job that doesn't exist, then to me that's unethical and should be against the law.
The argument (or at least the main argument) IA is making is that CDL is fair use, so they're analogizing it to the "one at a time" nature inherent to lending of physical books. Of course actual physical lending doesn't involve making a copy and is more of a "first sale doctrine" type situation, so this is just an analogy.

This is why there was so much discussion around how this affects the ebook market: that's part of the fair use analysis, and often the most important part.

I've generally been of the opinion that CDL doesn't stand much of a chance of flying as fair use, but there's a non-ridiculous argument for it.

The period of uncontrolled lending during the pandemic is another matter that's less defensible, but the point of this case for the publishers is to kill "normal" CDL.
>Summarization with current generation models is excellent. I can get a summarization of a several-hour-long-call with better recall than I could have had myself, for less than $2 in inference costs.

The company that I'm in has moved to all calls being video calls and recorded so we can get minutes out of them automatically.

I had the bright idea of using magic phrases to add an item to a action list. Now everyone says nonsensical words so a computer can remember what we want to do for us.
Curious. I believed trilobites have just evolved into "horseshoe crabs".
That’s the thing. I’m not sure they can do much with diffusion models. They need an output that maps to the Figma definition language or whatever it is they call it. In theory an LLM could do this, but they would need to train it on a huge amount of Figma customer data so I bet that’s where they’re going with this new policy.

Let's judge the ideas/rulings for ourselves, after all we often vote for judges or those who appoint them. Law isn't rocket science. If it's impenetrable to normal people then that also is a problem worth solving.
Water transport of goods is still a thriving business. Crops from farmers in the Columbia River Basin (Oregon, Washington, Idaho) get loaded as far inland as Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Dealing with BNSF and Union Pacific Railways is much more costly and complicated for your freight than getting a barge to transport it out to the Pacific Ocean.

This is also why the farmers here are so opposed to dam removal. There are lots of small silted up hydroelectric dams that serve no other purpose today besides making the upstream waterway navigable by boat, which you need if your trying to dodge the high price of trucking or train transport of your crop.
They had an opportunity to buy netflix for $50 million after the dot com bust.
I don't understand why yet. Why is it important to you to know whether someone is listening to music or not? Why do you need to be able to tell at all?
Fond memories… a game shop had one you could play on as a guest, there was always a queue. Unimaginable to young me that some people actually owned them.

I remember playing and enjoying a side scrolling shooter with weird penis-shaped space ships (Last Resort).
Interesting, I wonder if this can be used to create a programmable BEAM nervous network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEAM_robotics
As a vim user, I think both worlds are crappy in their own way.

Vim has: a good editing model, good settings, programmability, arcane controls and language.

Ms-style usually has: extensive plugin systems, poor settings, poor editing model.

I wish there existed an editor/IDE which would consist of a good editing model, good settings, programmability and extensive plugin system, but without arcane controls and language.

Basically take vim, remap keys so it becomes ms++, replace vimscript with ts, add optional regular vscode around it. This editor would kill them all, imo.
> it loads up super tiny on my 4k laptop screen and is unusable. I suppose I could mess about with the compatibility and scaling settings but I kind of lost interest after all of the above.

Oh, it’s this one. I tried it a couple of years ago and it did this, and was somewhat awkward to fix IIRC.
I think customer support will be replaced or severely downsized within the next 5 years and that's a pretty big number of jobs.
Without the right PPE and training, there's a strong case they shouldn't be made to do it.
Nature interrupted: Impact of the US-Mexico border wall on wildlife
What if, and this might be just a guess, the hundreds of thousands of people at major investment corporations have thought of this as well and driven the price up so that they are now adequately valued?

Do you know more about the future of these tech companies then the legions of math/physics/economics/CS PhDs paid to investigate the potential of these companies?
You are hoping to replace the fact that society exists and the economy exists within its context. There is no other way to prevent people from networking to get jobs and promotions. You've also now stretched the concept to include numerous other bad things like overhiring and fake job postings. The stock market is arguably over-regulated as it is, which may be why we now see a large-scale return to private markets; extending this level of regulation to the entire job market is a crazy, unrealistic idea.
It's also a possibility that a bit of innate noise could be desirable, depending on the use case.

If your comparison for AI is XML, then you're missing the point of analogies.
Yes, I mean, in the 00s bubble everybody and their dog needed an internet presence without any idea of what to do with it. The difference is not that between Amazon and Sears, but that between Amazon and the thousands of contemporaneous companies with clueless execs who had no idea what to do with an internet but were told that they now HAD to have one, preferably two.

Big issue indeed, and I think it's more generally documentation.

I believe someone needs to be in charge of the documentation and have dedicated time for this. Other issues this person would need to make sure:

- keep a good structure

- avoid duplicated stuff

- avoid orphaned content

This can also be partially addressed by adding a mandatory step to update the documentation when performing tasks that require documentation.

I believe documentation with some stale stuff is be better than no documentation at all though. Imperfection needs to be tolerated.
I really hope the judges rule in the Internet Archives favor. If they don't and those half a million books stay down and more publishers continue to come after the Internet Archive's library until it is completely gutted, that would be a total indictment of our awful, horrible culture. It would be like voluntarily burning the library of Alexandria.

At the same time, I can't help but be saddened by the defenses that the Internet Archive is using, which all seem to lean heavily on the idea of artificially limiting digital information in order to simulate the limitations of physical books. It's so frustrating that we've created an essentially post-scarcity system, where goods can be infinitely shared at almost zero cost without ever running into supply issues, and yet, we are forced to fit this world into the straightjacket of scarcity and property rights, instead of using it to benefit and empower everyone.

Especially since it's just fundamentally absurd; it's extremely difficult to actually make digital information, especially on the internet, actually function like a scarce rivalrous good that you can have property rights to. That's why piracy is such an issue, and fighting piracy will simply require more and more surveillance and corporate control of our computers and our communications until there's nothing left at all of the decentralized, post-scarcity, free-as-in-freedom potential of computers and the internet, because as long as an ounce of freedom remains, then information will slip through the fingers of corporations and the state-like sand, information wants to be free, dammit, and the more we try to deny it, the worse things get. This is no slippery slope argument either. I think the logic for why this progression would happen, the forcing function that will ensure this is pretty clear: if your goal is to eliminate piracy then any freedom on the internet and on someone's computer is a threat to that goal because information is infinitely copyable and redistributable and so the pursuit of that goal will inherently and necessarily always tend toward the complete elimination of software freedom in the long run.
Or a trillion dollars on just teachers. Not "education" but teachers themselves.

Hell the effective altruists would say giving a trillion dollars to people would be pretty effective.
It must be your IP's geography. It doesn't seem like you have normal internet access. It would seem you have only highly-restricted ISP-approved access. Consider complaining to your ISP rather than here.
Unsurprisingly, brucehoult was right (somewhat). Based on "bleeding edge", pre-2019 specs.

This one is a low end chip (single core, slow, based on the early 2017 specs) aimed at custom, embedded devices where the whole software stack (firmware image) is built from a single Makefile by the vendor.

I have a development board with one of them (only 512MB RAM, I managed to run a web browser on it at one point); I do indeed own too many RISC-V trinkets; this was the second RISC-V board I got.

Allwinner, same situation as their ARM chips (e.g. the A64 used in Pine64 I also own, or the A10 in the Cubieboard I also own). Most upstreaming work is done by linux-sunxi[0] instead of Allwinner themselves, which does not seem to care.

Not great in terms of already upstreamed drivers, which is why it is perceived as a pain. The hardware is also pretty limited, being a design that predates the base 2019 RISC-V specifications. But it can run Linux. The earlier Kendrite K210 (my and many people's first RISC-V chip) can run Linux too, but as an academic exercise. That one only has the builtin 8MB SRAM and its implemented privileged spec predates the first ratified one with significant differences.

Otherwise, standard RISC-V boot flow (i.e. "0" does not apply). In that sense, much better than its ARM counterparts, but you'll want to ensure you have the latest boot firmware in any event, not the early shipped one. This is a fairly early design too, so note the boot specs that were available at the time are far less reaching than what is available today, and were not even ratified yet. Despite this, the firmware has advanced somewhat, alongside the specs.

Runs generic RVA20 gcc compiled code just fine (i.e. "1" does not apply either) because the unprivileged spec ratified in 2019 didn't really chance since 2017. It does also have a pre-1.0 vector extension, which was very useful at the time to play with vector before the final version was available. GCC has support for this extension. Obviously, it is considered a "custom extension", and thus code using it will only work on processors implementing it.

TL;DR: One of the earliest designs, based on specs earlier than 2019, predating any ratified spec. Despite this, it manages to not meet 0 nor 1. Irrespective of all the FUD, RISC-V is doing great.

I think the description of what you want to achieve is not clear.

Can you link to an example image which you would upload and then describe based on that example what the generated image should look like?
It reads like a Monty Python sketch!

> he playfully snatched two of the fruits and ate them as he ran. A bit further along the course, he stopped at an orchard and snacked on some apples, which turned out to be rotten. Suffering from stomach cramps, he laid down and took a nap. Mellor, now in the lead, also experienced severe cramping.
I see that as a continuation of a long arc of using machines to read things in finance (not just on the buy side, btw.), don't think it will change the competitive dynamics between the more dominant players. (There might be some more concentration in some areas, but the dynamics for that pre-date LLMs or even AI/ML in some cases.)
The reality is, the economy is on a ticking timer for when it will be turned upside down by 1) LLM agent workflows 2) AGI 3) superintelligence. There are many companies who know this and want to hedge against that future but they simply don’t know how yet. The tricky part about productizing LLMs is that your product designers need to have a full understanding of LLMs and what they can and cannot do. So currently many of the existing product designs and AI user experiences still suck.

The biggest misconception is that just because chatbots are now more capable that somehow that means that you should replace your UI with one.
s/NFTs/blockchain/

People said the same things about blockchain—that it would be the foundational tech that would power a new iteration of the Internet, a web3.

Not that LLMs are in the same category, they certainly seem to have more utility in certain contexts than I ever saw in blockchain, but OP is correct that not every hyped technology turns into the next internet.
The point is that you can create a rich text editor that stores the data as markdown.

Note how I said that git and markdown could be abstracted away, as in hidden from the user who can’t be bothered to learn. Use them under the hood, so at the end of the day your entire wiki is just a repo.
If we replace bankers with AI the returns, the returns may be better.
No doubt Brazil and the Confederacy would have liked to trade, as there was a strong tie between them as you guessed from the slavery issue. After the war, a number of Confederates (some illegally with their enslaved people) moved to Brazil, where their descendants are known as "Confederados" [1]. However, during the war the Union blockaded Southern ports and few trade items (including coffee) got through.

I just tried it, and it works with clang version 17.0.6.
What isn't clear about the question?
Yeah, an incredibly dumb analysis.

I did a back of the hand estimate based off of the following assumptions:

gpt-4o: 10 H100s = ~7000W power requirement, 30 seconds to generate a summary for an hour-long call

human: ~10.7 kWh/year energy requirement (avg per American), 20 minutes to generate the same summary

The numbers come out to 60 Wh for 4o and 400 Wh for a human
> That's not how any of this works. Once I've submitted my binary to the escrow, then it's an original work worthy of copyright until challenged

Are you referring to some existing system? Because otherwise we're discussing in the abstract how this could work. And it would be straightforward for the copyright office to have a rule prima facie rejecting machine-executable binaries being claimed as original works, unless compelling proof were submitted that it had been directly created. Because as I said, show me any substantial executable that has been directly created with a hex editor.

The idea of a company choosing a few critical parts that they then (honestly or dishonestly) claim as original binary works is interesting. But note that this still would go a long way towards making the overall work part of the public domain when it expired - such blobs are highly unlikely to contain references to libraries with API churn and whatnot. And even if they somehow do, since they are small enough to be directly worked on, they can be directly fixed.
I honestly wish WFH was a movement that had a face ( that could be trusted ) to pull something like that off. I would love to see it, but it would require actual coordination.
"AI" is talked about like an individual company instead of like a mortgage-backed security, whose intrinsic value is made up of lots of little mortgages, some of which will pay out, and some will go into default.
AGI will not bring utopia. The folks promising "abundance" are either delusional or deliberately misleading.

There are finite resources on earth, and no bounds on how much energy can be spent thinking about something with AGI other than the will of whoever commands it.

People want to have yachts and McLarens. There will be luxurious ways to consume large slices of the AGI pie that people or countries will not forfeit.
The sad reality of city life is that there are so many people constantly in your vicinity that it's impossible to have true human connections with people.

However, even more sad is the reality that people learn to turtle up and keep their heads down out of necessity. Frankly, it's dangerous to engage with strange people who are desperate. More commonly, you'll just get taken advantage of.

I've been in a situation many times where I'll help a person out who says they need money for gas or food or a bus ticket, only to watch them take my money and stay in the same spot for over an hour asking even more people the same thing.

Or worse, you'll offer them the food directly, as you did, and they'll give you a nasty insult and refuse the food. They'll say anything to get that money, it's often a matter of survival. But kind people become hardened and the cycle continues.

I'm no expert on the topic, but it seems like income inequality is to blame and no amount of kindness will actually solve what is going on more broadly in society. But we should all try to stay kind and human.
I never understood why Chinese testing sites were always situated so close to semi-urban areas.

You never see similar videos in India despite also having spaceports near small towns and villages, and also having failures.

Ik China has hesitancy around Coastal launches but Ningxia, Gansu, Xinjiang, Qinghai, etc are all much less dense than Guangxi or Henan

(Edit: never mind - forgot that USSR-PRC relations were extremely bad, and all those regions were within signals capturing range of the USSR)
Define “free fall”, please. There seem to be plenty of interesting openings as far as I can tell. Less hysterical hiring, but plenty of work (and more interesting than the endless CRUD of 15 years ago).

If the regulations are so extensive that you would have needed a couple of weeks to create a checklist, how did you manage to see if the list was complete and correct within a couple of hours?
ImHex has been my primary hex editor for around a year and a half, nothing bad to say about it. By far the most advanced open-source hex editor. Kind of renders 010 Editor obsolete. The dev is exceptionally active as well. I was asking about a bug in his discord once and he patched it as we spoke.
Messaging apps need databases to store messages, they also need authentication.

I read below you want to make a food delivery app. If we are actually talking about restaurant delivery and not illicit drugs -- you need the delivery people to have an app that sends you their location, a routing algorithm to choose the closest person to send, logins, payment processing, etc. etc.

Its a major major undertaking that would cost at least $10m if done from scratch.
I don’t make them myself usually; I find founders looking for a cto. Which is a misnomer; I am not a cto, I like to start things. They have the ideas, I start things and then move on.

I did the same back in December...while I was undergoing sleep compression during my CBT for insomnia treatment. Withdrawal on hard mode!

What motivated me to do so was trying a single origin decaf that my local roaster had available and realizing that, yes, decaf coffee can taste like regular coffee! I literally decided to stop drinking caffeinated coffee after that first cup.

Things were rough for about a month but all good after that.

The nice thing about drinking decaf every day is that caffeine _really_ works when I do choose to use it. Super helpful while driving long distances.
