It would be fascinating to see how the proceeds of such an offer were split.

I've heard whispers that SpaceX has a bunch of debt that is collateralized by Tesla stock, if that's true there is clearly a case for margin pressure there.

There is the open question of what SpaceX will do with "all that lift capacity, if you give all earth to orbit contracts to SpaceX it still takes a long time to pay back that investment. Starlink was a good fit for Falcon 9, and murmurs that it is cash flow positive not withstanding, having your finger on "world internet" is cool[1] until the world takes it away from you.

On orbit refueling, which means having a fuel depot in orbit that has active cryo chillers operating to keep fuel for long periods of time, could be that answer since there is nominally "unlimited" demand for fuel in orbit, but the technology to make that work still has a lot of unknown unknowns. (I loved the ULA concept of using fuel boil off to run an internal combustion engine in the fuel depot that did active refrigeration, but that is still untested)

Still, having the only functioning orbital gas station would have even more leverage than having the only world internet. As Exxon et al have shown, you can extract a lot of value from people who can't get their gas anywhere else. Let's say a Starship flight costs $150 million to put 10 tons of cryo-fuel into orbit, can you sell it at $20 M/ton to customers? It only costs $250 - $300 to "make" liquid methane, maybe $200/ton for oxygen. That's some healthy markup and that would definitely make money.

[1] I am a Starlink customer and it has made working remotely from anywhere actually possible, that said if they decide to squeeze really hard that could cease to be the case.
How do I know that each of the pulses I sent out are the same ones I receive in reflection, in terms of frequency (remember, we have moving targets and therefore Doppler shift here), and amplitude? The reflections of my own pulses are pretty quiet compared to the pulses of, say, an oncoming vehicle's own radar transmissions.

How do I discern those individually-received pulses from the very similar pulses that are being received from other transmitting vehicles? (Sure, their timings should be be different, and the pulses may be very brief. But they may also overlap rather significantly, and errors can be very bad here. We need some rather good certainty here -- however that certainty is accomplished.)
I happen to know dispute handling was challenging for GS to implement for the Apple Cards.
Well, I went to try it, but it requires a phone number for some bizarre reason. Fine, gave it my primary number, a google voice number I've had for a decade, and it won't accept it. That's the end of my Claude journey, forever.

If you want me to try your service, try using some flow with less friction than sandpaper, folks.
Very, very cool. If you can make metal 3D printing viable for consumers I'll be the first in line to buy one (though I realize that's probably quite a ways away).
I'm guessing it's some sort of financial wizardry whereby the net present value of the archive is increased (on paper) by putting it behind a $50/clip paywall advertised only in trade journals.

What is the maximum number of tokens supported by gpt-4o?

ASSISTANT

As of my most recent update in October 2023, GPT-4 does not have an officially designated variant called "gpt-4o". However, OpenAI's GPT-4 model supports different maximum token limits depending on its variant. There are two primary context lengths for GPT-4 models:

1. *GPT-4 with 8K context length*: This variant supports up to 8,000 tokens.
2. *GPT-4 with 32K context length*: This variant supports up to 32,000 tokens.

These limits encompass both input and output tokens in a given interaction. If you intended to refer to a specific or newly introduced variant, such as "gpt-4o," it is essential to look up the most current resources or official announcements from OpenAI, as models and their capabilities can evolve.

I spent some time working on the defense of a heroin dealer who was moving huge quantities of drugs, but clearly the DEA didn't see him as a big enough target at the time. Once he mentioned to an undercover that he would be interested in moving cigarettes the ATF went nuclear trying to take him down. I wouldn't want to get on the bad side of the ATF, they have an alarming amount of resources apparently, when they are poked.

Why don’t you pivot with another startup? We launched some months ago, see serious traction, are raising a much lower amount in Europe and are close to turning actual revenue within the coming months.

Happy to get on a thread / call with you to understand what you’re doing and if there is synergy possible. Would be a shame to let all the effort go to waste.

This is a bad idea, because it would incentivize channeling even more people into the prison system in order to have test subjects.

Instead of more cures for diseases, we would get an equilibrium-finding economy of live human bodies, where most of the net gain is diverted to middlemen and administrative overhead. And don't forget the incomprehensible horror.
> So finding ways to help the brain clean itself — perhaps by inducing those slow electrical waves — might prevent a wide array of disorders.

Even before getting to the end this had me thinking of binaural beats. Back in college there was a beat that I would use whenever I was super tired and had a lot to do, and it'd help me refresh via a quick 20m nap (sometimes the nap itself wasn't even needed; just to let my mind be taken by the beat for the duration). If it's the case that a part of the effect is to trigger a "deep clean" (I've wondered on and off what's really happening), then this just may become a way to reduce said disorders...
In the extreme, extending refuge to minorities fleeing the oppressive regime. More long term, advocacy, both diplomatic and popular, for the cause of said minorities. Material and moral support for local movements doing the same. The gay pride movement is an excellent example.

Ultimately, if a society doesn't adjust its views to accept its members, there's very little you can do. The only thing that works is convincing that society that it should change. Sanctions or wars won't get parents to accept their gays sons or daughters, even if they miraculously succeeded in changing some laws.
Sure... Though while I hate to say it, I don't blame people for trusting Google's hosted copy of something. For better or worse, they are more trustworthy than some "as seen on a million janky tutorials" whatever.io. A very privacy-focused employer precluded that possibility during peak adoption, but with what many sites load up, that's the least of your worries.

This is so sad for me on so many levels. Not the least of which that I came very very close to giving them my PDP-5 because they would keep it running and the curator at the time gave the impression that Paul was setting up a trust to keep the Museum operating (which he could have, but did not).

Guess his heirs would rather have his billions than his legacy.

I have been using Claude Sonnet with Artifacts along with Vercel V0 to build Sveltekit pages and components really well. I create a UI in V0 and then simply copy the JSX into Claude and tell it to convert to Sveltekit. It creates the +page.svelte +page.server.ts and all the components almost perfectly.
I switched from a GitHub Copilot subscription to Cody for VS Code, to give the competition a chance.

Cody's chat UI seems pretty good for making comparisons like this. You can set it to whichever LLM you want, including GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

I haven't used Claude enough to do to a detailed comparison, but GPT4o and Claude 3.5 seem roughly similar for my coding questions.

From my reading there's nothing here that's specific to Anthropic, right? Any app like Chatbox, Msty or other could implement their own version of Projects based on any of the available models. (Maybe even Notion...) The API for creating an assistant with a pre-baked context is also available.

My Dad collected antique cap guns. By the "collector's bible" its "worth" $40 - $50 grand.

I would love to share your enthusiasm but I can't. Russia has restarted their war industry, they have enough resources to build more modern military hardware. Everybody has been sending their '70s and '80s stuff into Ukraine in order to replace it with modern equipment (former Warsaw pact, current NATO members and even the US) or earn some dough (DPRK, Iran). At the end of the day it's the dumb shells combined with the drones and the US hardware that made a difference in this war. When Ukraine was left without them, Russia gained the frontline initiative which it still holds. This is why it's imperative to keep a steady flow of military aid to Ukraine.
While this author is of a younger generation, this really resonated with me as a Gen Xer. I feel there is so much disillusionment among folks that came of age during the 90s because there was so much techno optimism then, and it didn't quite turn out like we envisioned. Two things made me think about this recently:

1. I saw a Reddit post that was titled something like "The 90s were peak humanity. Enough tech to make life comfortable, but not so much that it had totally taken over the focus." It was a video of a packed mall around the holidays filled with generally happy people socializing in public.

2. That viral quote that was making the rounds, "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."

I just feel there has been a growing chasm over the past 25 years where tech is no longer solving pressing human problems (generally, obviously not true in all areas e.g. decarbonization tech) but is more concerned with just rent-seeking value extraction.

No, not that at all. It is more a reflection of APL’s extreme density. C-derivatives tend to devolve into ASCII-salad, which is no better.

Also, with APL, the code for something that can be expressed in linear algebra is reasonably natural, but when APL gets used to code other things it can be hard to reverse out what the author was thinking when they found a linear algebra expression of a problem for which that is not a natural mapping.
Took me several reads to realize Paze is a homophone for "pays". I guess all the good names are taken.
How have they not been sued into oblivion?
I'm a little confused about this and the article doesn't help explain it very well.

On the one hand it says

"The latter category has long been interpreted to include future lost earnings, the court said, including when reputational harm can hurt employees’ earning potential."

Which makes it sound like the decision is no big deal and in standing with long set precedent.

But then it also says, "Patrick Walsh, one of Perlick's attorneys, said the case could have far reaching impact."

But it isn't clear what the far reaching impact is, since future earnings have always been a factor?

It sounds like the actual far reaching impact is this?

"The court also said MSPB erred when it ruled Perlick was not entitled to compensatory damages because she was not guaranteed a job after her research concluded. Instead, the judges ruled, Perlick needed only to show that a preponderance of the evidence that she was likely to have future employment. That standard does not require certainty, the court ruled"

So they just clarified you don't need a guarantee of a future job to seek lost future wages, just a preponderance of evidence?

I'm just trying to parse what is actually novel & news here and the article isn't helping.

I see this sentiment a lot regarding gen AI. An I get it, we need to learn our tools. But this seems like it's saying the only way to learn problem solving is the way you learned it. That's just not true. Everyone learns problem solving differently and the emerging field of gen AI will figure out it's own way. It's a different way of thinking. I see my niece using ChatGPT to make projects I wouldn't have even imagined taking up at her age. Her games work. Who am I to say she isn't learning problem solving?

How much could it possibly have been costing them to leave old clips up? I suspect the really old stuff was pretty low traffic, file storage is ridiculously cheap, how much money could this realistically save them?

I'm sure it's not "zero" but I think I'm missing something...is it copyright savings or something?
It really wouldn’t have been. All you need is to get enough judges in the bench who will say it’s an unconstitutional law. That’s it.

The US Supreme Court just decided that bribing an official is legal as long as the payment for the action happens after the favor has been granted. If you give a judge $10k to influence his opinion court that is illegal. If you give the judge a wink and pay him the $10k after he delivers his opinion, that’s just gratuity and is perfectly fine. Work hard enough and long enough and you can get enough justices vetted by a very specific organization and all sort of things are possible.

> The high court’s 6-3 opinion along ideological lines found the law criminalizes bribes given before an official act, not rewards handed out after.

> “Some gratuities can be problematic. Others are commonplace and might be innocuous,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote. The lines aren’t always clear, especially since many state and local officials have other jobs, he said.

> The high court sided with James Snyder, a Republican who was convicted of taking $13,000 from a trucking company after prosecutors said he steered about $1 million worth of city contracts to the company.

Claude Sonnet is freaking amazing. I used to have a safety test[0] that Claude failed. But it was a bogus safety test and fortunately someone here told me so and I immediately subscribed to it. It's amazing. The other day I ported a whole node.js script to Python with it. It was not flawless but it was pretty damned good. Such a mechanical process and I just had to review. Loved it.

The article doesn't clearly distinguish between the museum auctioning off the item it owns and the Allen estate auctioning the items that it had loaned to the museum, but there's a difference.
That depends. Right now we have a scarcity mindset with regards to certain materials. A trillion dollar rock could open up new use cases we never imagined before because it was too cost prohibitive.
> For example in Australia they are upgrading our fibre network to 1Gbps which is 10x the speed of Starlink.

I don't know of anyone using Starlink in areas with fibre, only rural areas with no fibre.
Yep, it's the outline around text that won you the client.
You’ve assumed that the customers in developed nations are primarily fixed installations. Starlink is wildly popular with the rv/sailboat/second home crowd.

I also wouldn’t be betting on US terrestrial internet providers to outcompete anything.

Thanks for the detailed reply! The arch and perf gains sound compelling.

It might be a bit early for benchmarks, but I'd be curious to see how argus compares vis-à-vis other ebpf-based introspection tools at scale, in terms of stability and coverage... Probably makes for a good blog post for some day.
The bigger satellites that are coming to starlink will allow much narrower signal beams, which in turn will allow far faster speeds for the same interference-to-gso budget.
The US makes up a majority of their user base. My property isn’t even that rural and I doubt I’ll get fiber before 2050.

5G is much more likely. It’s just too cost prohibitive to bring fiber to most rural areas.
Hello fellow Canadian?
Sadly, nope. Every nation on the planet still tries the same thing - printing money in the doomed hope it will make the nation wealthy.
There is no market for Mars. No one needs, or even really wants, to build anything on Mars. Taking a human there just to show that we can might be a cute publicity stunt, but that's the only possible rational motivation for Mars in the next 500 years or so.
This looks great for both tech and non tech folks and solves for use cases from both groups.

I wish it could preview svelte builds. I wish it would let me include svelte files in “projects.”
Claude helped me code up a quick webhook handler for a silly side project. Being a side project, I asked it to put the code into a Docker container, which is did flawlessly. It also gave me a Makefile with sensible targets for building, rebuilding, starting, stopping, etc. Finally, I asked it use an .env file for the secrets I needed to store. Everything it did was one-shot on target. The only thing that would make this better would be to have it in the terminal with me.
I don’t think that will affect it. Apple’s public use of Keynote has always been very basic
I was a speaker at this years Figma Config (ends tomorrow) and we all had to use keynote since it has way better support for video and animations than goog.

I’m sure that won’t be the case next year with this new announcement.
> "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."

Except this quote is just...internet clickbait. As though technological development is a straight line with easily predictable outcomes. Hell it's even engaging in a bait and switch argument: "I want to art and writing" -> well, AI isn't stopping you from doing those thing versus the reality of creative work for hire -> "I want to be paid to do art and writing".

Setting aside the obvious "when your hobby becomes your job it tends to cease being your hobby" which so many Twitch influencers discover, the headline argument is as though someone has overtly set out to build generative AI and not "done the obvious thing of making a laundry and dishwashing robot" (while you know, also ignoring that technically we have both those things and built them almost immediately - literally washing machines and dishwashers).

The complaint is...well frankly classist as hell. "Why should lower myself to manual labor? Take those other people's jobs away first". It sounds profound but says nothing: Twitter in a nutshell.

Great summation of how it looks (and smells) from the outside. The only thing that jarred me out of furious agreement was this line:

> At least I have my integrity.

And I may be throwing stones from a glass house but, in my opinion, they have 6 months of integrity on a backdrop of <unknown number> of years of quite specific non-integrity.

Exiting the speeding-train-with-no-brakes saves you. Helping to stop the train has at least the chance to save others, which earns integrity.

Write an (anonymous?) blog describing how to recognise the bullshit, what the strategies are that you, yourself employed to convince the rubes. Expose your methods so that others who are employing them are made toothless.

There lieth integrity.
