I have no interest in converting anyone. I am answering questions as accurately as I can, as I always do.

I don't quite follow your disagreement, but I appreciate the way you talk. I don't mean I disagree with you, I don't quite understand what you're getting at.

I said that this

> It's inconsistently in favor of freedom. "Renting yourself to a dictatorship is not freedom"? What if I want to? Should I not have the freedom to do so?

Works as well for Slavery. And it does. What if someone wants to be a slave? Should they not have the freedom to do so?

I feel like that's a reasonable argument, and don't see any reason to adjust it.
Some bikes are over the minimum weight, by a wide margin, and rode by the race leaders too.
"I'm sorry that you think..." is not an apology at all.
>You used to be able to pull out your phone and play Disney soundtracks or Taylor Swift music which would result in the video being non-monetizable. But improvements in audio isolation techniques have now defeated this countermeasure.

In my opinion, this is a bug, not a feature. If you pull out your phone and play Taylor Swift, you are in fact making a public performance without permission. Even if you had permission (as some cops allegedly do to use some bands music for this purpose), this is not the correct method to deal with professional annoyances.

As a police officer, your job is to be the adult in the room. Society is trusting you with a tremendous amount of power. If you can't handle some annoying whiny YouTubers professionally without using "countermeasures", you should hang up your badge and get another job.
> In theory you can get a pretty good idea of where instructions came from in the source code though the optimizer does, shall we say, obfuscate/spread that a little bit (which is why debugging through optimized code or looking at core dumps from optimized code can be tricky- but you can still mostly do it, there's just some lack of precision in the mapping back).

I think the whole point of BOLT is that in practice, you can't get a good idea of where instructions came from.

And it's not even about instructions as much as control flow. LLVM, GCC, and other good compilers (like the ones I wrote for JSC) can and absolutely will fuck up the control flow graph for fun and profit. So if the point of the FDO is to create better code layout, then feeding the profiling samples into before when the compiler did its fuckery will put you up shit creek without a paddle: the basic blocks and branches that the profiler will be telling you about don't exist, and won't, until the compiler does its thing.

You could try to run the compiler forward until it recreates the control flow structure that the profiler is talking about, but that seems hella sketchy since at that point you're leaning on the compiler's determinism in a way that would make me (and probably others) uncomfortable. It would rule out running BOLT on binaries optimized with PGO and it would create super nasty requirements for build system maintainers.
Synology sure provides an expensive but complete package for home office and enthusiasts.

Just buy it and be done with it. It's certainly more expensive than DIY it yourself using off the shelf components and things bought out of online classifieds. But for most people that have no interest in tinkering or don't know what to do, just paying the price of a complete solution might be worth it.
But that is due to extreme curvature on account of the body’s mass. I think that John Michell was on the right path to discovering black holes, but the sciences known to him and his time weren’t sufficient for him to complete the thought.
AI and ML will help a lot of people and already does. Alpha Fold / protein folding will help us with cancer.

We will have better batterires thanks to ml material research.

We will be able to calculate and optimize everything related to flow like wind.

The last thing we need to optimize is compute and compute is what has the most money anyway. One of the first industries going green is datacenters. Google for example is going green 24/7 (so not just buying solar power but pulling green energy from the grid 24/7 through geo thermy and others).

AI/ML big datacenters are crucial for all the illneses we have which no one cares enough to solve. For example, i have one of these and we need data to make a therapy for this and i'm not alone.
I got bored of it a few years ago when it basically became a thing for people selling expensive notion templates and thinking they had created some form of amazing product or 'operating system'

So I am a network dummy, but why would 100M vs 1000M have a difference in latency unless the pipe was saturated?
Now, the question of "Are LLMs intelligent" is debatable, but intelligence is foundational itself.
Don't most smartphones these days have a second noise cancelling microphone?
One difference between AI and mobile is this.

The mobile revolution needs three kinds of investment:

(A) The carrier has to build out a network

(B) You need to buy a handset

(C) Businesses need to invest in a mobile app.

The returns that anybody gets from investing in A, B or C depend on the investments that other people have made. For instance, why should I buy a handset if the network and the apps aren't there? Why should a business develop an app if the network and users aren't there? These concerns suppress the growth of mobile phones in the early phase.

ChatCPT depends on the existing network and existing clients for delivery so ChatGPT can make 100% of the investment required to bring their product to market which means they can avoid the two decades of waiting for the network and handsets to be there in order to motivate (C).

Note another thing that younger people might never have noticed was that the US was far behind the rest of the world in mobile adoption from maybe 1990 to 2005. When I changed apartments in the US in the 1990s I could get landline service turned on almost immediately by picking up the phone. When I was in Germany later I had no idea I could go into a store in most countries other than the US and walk out with a "handy" and be talking right away so I ended up waiting a month for DT to hook up my phone line.
I’d be interested to understand why the $60 is incompressible or an unsellable price.

Did you consult with a print farm to see how much they could produce your items for, or was this based on you producing them yourself? Also, designing for manufacturability is a thing, and slightly changing your design can yield massive improvements in costs.

I’m not saying 3D printing is magic—I very much understand there are very strong limits. But the jump from $60 to $5 seems massive.

The Kanun Is about Much More Than Just Blood Feuds (2021)
Yep. During the first parts of sleep your body locks to prevent you from acting out your dreams.
Here are a few:

When your body locks up, test it. try to use as much force as you can without 'breaking' that lock... it keeps you in the present moment and 'close to being able to move'...

The standard: focus on your breathing is also applicable.

What has helped the most is imagining a dot, and moving that dot around, changing its color, moving it along the z-direction (closer). Focusing your mind on that keeps it active.
On the one hand, yes!

But more realistically, think of the headache of trying to keep your engine's Hampsterdance in sync with the Hampsterdance blaring from your car's stereo, (as it naturally would be).

Not to mention all the other excellent tracks on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampsterdance:_The_Album
Only holds if whatever hardware that’s pretending to be the matter can act exactly like the matter without being the same thing.

For the distinction, consider the difference between a simulation of a simple chemical process in a computer—even a perfectly accurate one!—and the actual thing happening. Is the thing going on in the computer the same? No, no matter how perfect the simulation. It’s a little electricity moving around, looking nothing whatsoever like the real thing. The simulation is meaning that we impose on that electricity moving around.

That being the case, this reduces to “if we recreate the matter and state exactly, for-real, is that consciousness?” in which case yeah, sure, probably so.

This doesn’t work if the thing running the simulation requires interpretation.
It‘s because to the domesticated observer, the walled city symbolizes an idealized vision of chaos. A place you could have inhabited where you would finally be free from the dictates of society. The ideal space of opportunity where you could have forged your own path, the realities of KWC be damned.

In the same way that people living in Chaos yearn for a Franco or an old King because they symbolize order, regardless of the realities of their reign.
Just a projection space that is sufficiently ill-defined that it becomes a canvas.
If it's based on a real flood, they presumably follow a power law distribution, where you have relatively frequent "normal" floods, and progressively larger floods are rarer and rarer, till you get an occasional gargantuan one.

My guess though is it's probably a plot device where the storyteller takes a known phenomenon and just exaggerates it to magical-mythical proportions, which may contribute to the story being repeated as it strikes the balance between the relatability of the real phenomenon and the attention-grabbing otherworldliness of its exaggerated version.

I bet you've not seen a mustard seed, but you still get what is being said, in the parable of the mustard seed.

If the parable is talking to a foundational reality, rather than cultural situations, I think it can endure.

I get what you are saying, but even parables don't have 'the truth'. I would imagine that there may even be parables that argue the opposite position. And both, opposing positions could be right, depending on the context.
"Here, look studiously at this bookshelf"

So strange how scientists and professors get treated by media. Do they think those pictures help an otherwise very interesting article? I guess if you don't have cool diagrams of magnetic gas flow in the interstellar medium, you do what you can?
Well and succinctly put. One would have to be a philosopher to be willing to consider p-zombies further.

They can already do this via the cellular phone networks, which need your location to provide the service. Yes, they could discard that data once it was no longer needed, but that is subject to subpoena and preservation orders, so it's not that far to a location history DB anyways.
Generally the other way, if you're paranoid -- the fact that it's separate component allows an attacker to MITM the communication.
I assure you they didn't use an LLM to invent their pricing strategy. Elevenlabs subscription levels are designed around converting text-to-speech in the primary use-case. They charge by the character when converting text to speech, so characters are kind of the currency on their site. 1000 characters per minute makes sense in that context and I find it surprisingly expensive compared to generation
I mean, you don't have to?

Set up an audio source, for example, your phone, playing a reasonable length of talking, for example a youtube video, or a podcast on spotify. Then record from your computer or other recording device, and test with that?
> The number of people raped by Soviet forces is estimated between 1 and 2 million, among them many well-known people, such as the wife of Helmut Kohl, raped when she was 12.

No Russian would accuse their grand dad that has taken Berlin of anything, before walking in his shoes first. Walking to the Berlin obviously.

Around 2 millions of Russian civilians starved in Leningrad during the Nazi siege.

I'm honestly not sure which kind of a different response would one expect after murdering more than 20 million Soviet citizens in the four years before that. You do not want to ever bring this topic into conversation because you're going to look worse than the side you are accusing. "We said we are sorry" is not good enough, just like the post-Soviet borders. I believe Germans should start going around whacking annoying Eastern Europeans over the head when they try to dig out this hideous mass grave again. Extremely annoying behavior.

Still, our ancestors had to kill all of armed to the teeth German males first, and that was no small feat, that we are still proud of; and obviously they were 100% righteous in doing so. Then all the Eastern Europeans who we "set free" did their little ethnic cleansing against Germans. I've heard Czech has expelled circa 300,000 Germans, killing several tens of thousands in the process. Ditto Poland.
I don't think Googs knows what free is. They have replaced that word with "ad supported". If TLAs want access to that data, they can just pay for it like everyone else. Gives a whole new meaning to "targeted" ads

Retool is junk. The UI is abysmal, and the data model inscrutable. Delete that shit.
Assuming your model of him is correct.

How many videos of him "destroying" theists have you watched on TikTok? I've seen 100+, and agree that he's an idiot, amazingly so. Watch carefully the words he uses as he "proves" his "facts".
Commonly stated, except I think that statement is wrong. A PR is the thing that has the effect of sending emails to the team, it is the PR that leaves behind a webpage & summary of what has changed. It is the PR that is doing the work there, not the CR. Which implies, you can open and then immediately merge PRs without CR to get that same benefit.

CR does give others a chance to study code, and become familiar with it - but that is different from "keeping up to date."

You pretty much need a second, similar system, hopefully not physically nearby. Tape doesn't scale down to home use, and optical is too small.

My home NAS has several roles, so I don't have to backup the full capacity. The family shared drive definitely needs to be backed up. The windows desktop backups probably don't, although if I had a better plan for offsite backups, I would probably include desktop backups in that. TV recordings and ripped optical discs don't need to be backed up for me, I could re-rip them and they're typically commercially available if I had a total loss; not worth the expense to host a copy of that offsite, too; IMHO.

You might do something like mirrored disks on the NAS and single copy on the backup as a cost saver, but that comes with risks too.
There's a growing divide between inference GPUs and training GPUs.

Investors first need to ask what that ratio might look like in 10 years.
10-to-1? 100-to-1? Inference-to-Training

Assuming for each NVDA training GPU sold there are 100 open source / commodity GPUs doing inference, who owns and supplies those data centers and hardware?

I sync a few single external drives every week or two over good old USB. In house sneaker net. Tools like Freefilesync make this easy and fast (and give me a manual check so accidental deletes are visible too).

Here's the first of a three-part interview with Waldrop, the author of The Dream Machine[1] and semi-official Licklider biographer of sorts:

<https://luminary.fm/episode/mitch-waldrop-on-the-dream-machi...>

1. Not to be confused with Ted Nelson's titled work Dream Machines, one half of the pair Computer Lib/Dream Machines that described Project Xanadu and articulated a vision about computer user freedom that predates Stallman and the free software movement, complete with manifesto.
Is there a source for that? I thought since they're not public yet they wouldn't release much info about revenue or profits.
AI is dangerous to VCs.

The returns are going to chip-makers and employers, including single founder startups, who don't have to hire a lot of people, and additionally get productivity they never thought possible. A surgeon I know uses AI every day - to translate, to explain, to figure out problems, to write. They wouldn't have paid someone to do that, but now they get that output in seconds. This is a time to solve all kinds of problems we didn't think possible - because AI has made the enterprising among us instantly smarter.

All the fodder about AGI being a next step is smoke and mirrors - for everyone using OpenAI knows they don't need any more niche tools as their one $20 subscription is doing more for them every day. AGI is here. Experts can correct AI generated mistakes, but those are getting less and less too. The real benchmark is: Name how many people you know who can out-do ChatGPT on a question. You won't bother to check LinkedIn for that.

The gains are aggregating towards Chips, Clouds and Entrepreneurs. The VCs, since A16Z's original AI blog post (all expense, little return, echoed this Sequoia post but did it but years ago), know they are not needed as much anymore. Fewer VCs will beat the market when founders can grow startups without raising too much money (they don't need to hire as many people). Hiring needs lead to PR waves which require VC funding. Valuation is not a big deal for founders making money either, so they may not even disclose how successful their companies are. Bragging about your gains only invites competition. So other than ponzi-type ventures where you need to attract the dinner to serve dinner, you won't hear much about the good ones.

A different era indeed. The tech giants are in for a lot of change as well. Those who have distribution may try to push their models to the masses to be the point of reference, but that can get expensive, especially for those who don't charge. AI will help improve AI performance as well and that means cheaper better performance with time.

What's most needed in this era are people who know what the world needs that hasn't been invented yet. They need to be inventing and monetizing it. Little stopping you now.

How is this different to this https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc
You're conflating the term "stopwatch" with an all mechanical device. That wasn't even true at the time period specified-- the quartz movement had been created in the 1950s and the first quartz pocket watch had been introduced in the mid 1960s.

The issues you bring up are only relevant to a particular set of devices that can be used as timepieces that measure the amount of time that elapses between its activation and deactivation-- and are are all stopwatches.
IIRC openai was the fastest growing service by subscriptions of all time.
>Is there an intrinsic reason something similar couldn't happen with LLMs?

Only if we can increase the efficiency of LLMs by 2-3 orders of magnitude, there are only some in lab examples of this and nothing really being publicly shown.

Even then the models are still going to require rather large amounts of memory, and any performance increases that could boost model efficiency would very likely increase performance on GPU hardware to the point we could get continuous learning models from multimodal input like video data and other sensors.
Krisp does a pretty great job of this currently without the two mics.
Did not know about this. Seems awesome tool to work for next project. Thanks.
Like Russia where the testers were running the doping program.
> just like previous technology hype cycles were surely going to Change Everything. I mean, we're seeing huge companies' entire product strategies changing overnight because We Must All Believe.

this didn’t really happen the way you want it to. Fortune 50 companies never spent billions of dollars on crypto or NFTs like they are doing for AI. No NASDAQ listed companies got trillion-dollar valuations out of crypto.

There is buy-in happening this time, unlike previous times, because this time actually is different.

> The whole AI thing just continues to baffle me. It's like everyone is in the same trance and simply assuming and chanting over and over that This Will Change Everything

I mean, some people see a broad consensus forming and reactively assume everyone else must be stupid (not like ME!). That’s a reflection of your own personal contrarianism.

Instead, try to realize that a broad consensus forming means you actually hold heterodox opinions, and if you think you have a good basis for them that’s fine, but if the foundation for your point that everyone in the world is too stupid to see what’s REALLY going on then maybe your opinions aren’t as reasoned as you think they are. You need to at least understand the values differences that are leading you down the road to different conclusions before you just dismiss the whole thing as “everyone else is just too wrapped into the cult to see straight”.

Bitcoin was actually rebuttable on some easily-explicable grounds as to why nobody really needed it. Why do you think semantic embeddings, semantic indexes/generation, multimodal interfaces, and computationally-tractable optimization/approximation generators are not commercially useful ideas?
