I'm one of the free tier people.

A while back I used 3.5 to make a chat web page so I could get the better models as PAYG rather than subscription… and then OpenAI made it mostly pointless because they gave sufficient 4o access to the free tier to meet my needs.

This is not clear to me. Furthermore, this statement assumes that there is a single and - more importantly - static definition of what is "hate speech", which is plainly not the case.

For sure! I'm eating simpler and more whole foods as well, but every once in a while I'll have something artificial as a treat. Or for example I briefly used these raspberry lemonade water flavor drops from Target, but I switched to a "Real Lemon" brand flavor and it tastes better and has no dye! :)
Not smarter, just different. People in Germany speak German. I can't speak German. That doesn't make them smarter.
I can't speak for any other engines, but in SpiderMonkey a BigInt is a GC-managed object with a one-word header containing the sign bit, the length, and some GC bookkeeping bits, along with a second word that is either a single inline 64-bit digit, or a pointer to an array of 64-bit digits. So the memory overhead of a BigInt that fits in 64 bits is "only" 2x, but doing math with BigInt requires more work than a native integer because it needs to handle larger numbers, manually manage sign bits, and so on.

Depends on your perspective. I think it’s like front-end development likely means you work _with_ React, not that you’re writing front end frameworks from scratch. In a similar way AI devs in our team work with LLMs, but they don’t create them from scratch.
All things considered, the proof is pretty short! It’s 19,000 lines of Coq (including white space and comments). And in my experience, if this were compiled into a traditional paper it would be significantly shorter than the Coq version. (Of course, length of the proof really isn’t a measure of difficulty or complexity, but it is a very rough yardstick we can use.)

When talking about the limits of human knowledge, I often think about the theorems that are provable, but so complex that no human being could understand them. Probably the most complex proof we have is the classification of finite simple groups, which is thousands upon thousands of pages, and there is probably very few or no people on Earth that fully understand all of it.

As the article suggests, BB(6) could be undecidable. But it could also have a proof millions of pages long, beyond the reach of humanity.
They definitely aren't, no idea what parent is talking about. They are the standard unless you're talking about a SAN or something. If I had to guess, 92% of the switches in a typical office are 1000M, 5% are 100M, and the rest are > 1000M for switch interconnects or HA server interconnects/SANs.
I'm an adult who doesn't have time to play Minecraft anymore because I'm too busy between a career and raising kids, but I did play a ton of it in its early days and I still watch a selection of Minecraft YouTube channels (mostly a few of the Hermits).

My early experiences with Minecraft absolutely helped get me to this point in my career. Minecraft is less a video game and more a sandbox and development platform. Redstone is a fabulous introduction to concepts that are applicable to programming, electrical engineering, and really any logic-oriented field. I first learned Forth through a Minecraft mod, and my first technical documentation experience came from writing docs for people to use that Forth system. I later picked up Lua through ComputerCraft, and my earliest real Java projects that I built were Minecraft mods.

All of which is to say: I'm totally going to introduce my kids to Minecraft when they're old enough! I wouldn't trade the hours I spent on that game and in its community for anything.

I have no idea what the man's reasons are, but supporting a ban on TikTok isn't necessarily against the first amendment.

TikTok is a fountain of hot garbage. It drowns out legitimate speech for algorithmically driven propaganda and memes. TikTok is to free speech what waterboarding is to hydration.
Three questions:

Will you use Vulkan when it comes to gpu accel or OpenGL?

Will you make better adblocking capabilities by embedding faster checks and rule engines/lookups in c++ than what we have now?

How much can people who do not contribute code affect development? In terms of requests suggestions? E.g. if I would suggest to skip OpenGL and use Vulkan (so basically defining a limit on how old should the hw be), would this be even considered?
At least portions of the Pentateuch certainly date prior to the Exile, because we have direct archeological evidence in the form of dated, physical scrolls.

At any rate both the Babylonians and the ancient Israelites were Semitic peoples, so obviously they had a shared background long before the Exile.

There are also many references in early Genesis that do suggest it originates in traditions much older, including references to great cities and powers that were long, long gone by the Exile. This actually sent me quite recently down some rabbit holes.

Those are unfortunate, IMO. But miners would support those because they increase transaction fee revenue. Hopefully they'll get priced-out of the fee marketplace eventually, either by the network getting more legitimate use (moving money instead of creating NFTs) or by people losing interest in NFTs.
It's worth mentioning how to turn off the creation of .DS_Store files by default while browsing network volumes - otherwise the directory modified timestamps are updated as you browse using the Finder, which is Just Plain Terrible.

Just because it's impactful doesn't mean it's going to make much money. Take audiobooks for example, the market is valued at around $5 billion. In the very near future audiobooks will be created with AI. Does that mean anybody is making billions with those AI audiobooks? I don't think so. The value of audiobook will go towards $0 and audiobooks as a product category will completely disappear. Audiobooks will simply be the text2speech feature of your eBook reader.

Similar stuff will happen with a lot of other content, things that used to be costly will become very cheap. And then what? The amount of books people can consume doesn't scale into infinity. Their entertainment needs will be served by auto-generated AI content. Even the books themselves will be written by AI sooner or later.

Advertising industry might also start hurting badly, as while they will certainly try getting ads into AI content, users will have AI at home to filter it out. A lot of classic tricks and dark pattern to manipulate the user behavior will no longer work, since the user has a little AI helper to protect them from those tricks.

I don't doubt that the impact of AI will be gigantic, but a lot of AI produced content won't be worth anything, since it's so easy to create for everybody. And there isn't much of a moat either, since new models with better capabilities pop up all the time from different companies. Classic lock-in is also not really usable anymore, as AI can effortlessly translate between different APIs and user-interfaces.

Problem is, we had these kinds of societies in the past, and they mostly got taken over and incorporated into societies with hierarchal structures, because those had militaries and were aggressive. Maybe I'm overstating that a little bit, but there was still plenty of conquest, and I don't see how a return to decentralized communities prevents that from playing out again.

Or alternatively, stops some communities from being raiders and pirates, and the eventual desire to have a stronger response that a hierarchy can bring to bear. At any rate, the current global order is very far from anarchy, and it's extremely difficult to see how it could be come about in part of the world without being taken over by countries with imperialistic ambitions. Imagine what Russia and China would do if somehow Europe and the US became anarchistic.
If the people who wanted dumb TVs didn’t want smart TVs *enough*, they wouldn’t buy them - the reason it still works is because people just buy smart TVs and don’t use the smart features. So it’s still a demand problem - demand hasn’t dropped enough!

But you’re right - demand != desires of consumers. But they’re going to optimize for what people buy, not what they want or say they want.

No disagree, Both came later IIRC. Melbourne unis work on appletalk and Apple file system support was in the late 80s and I believe POSIX xattr spec work was mid nineties, NTFS was '93 or so. The fork model in apple file store was eighties work.
I agree with the interactive usecase.

But for when you don't want an extra dependency, awk and perl are better than bash and just about as ubiquitous. (I might dare to say more ubiquitous, since MacOS in particular ships with an ancient version of bash that can't even use this jb tool. But the versions of awk and perl it comes with are fine.)
> One of the great tragedies regarding the rise of fascism in Germany is that the left-wing forces did not manage to unite in time to stop it. Communists and social democrats preferred to fight each other instead.

That seems to point to some sensible people being in the ranks of the social democrats. Communism would have been a far bigger disaster for Germany than fascism - which is really saying something given that the outcome of fascism was the destruction of the nation and decades of foreign military occupation.

The real tragedy here is there were 3 political groups, none focused on and successful in increasing the prosperity of the people who they governed. They needed a competent liberal tradition.
That works surprisingly well! I mean that I am genuinely surprised.
Maybe unrelated to this, but I noticed fairly recently that my backups from my macbook now backup seemingly randomly modified pdf and txt files all over the disk. My guess is that whenever I search for something, it decides to touch a couple of hundred files (but not ALL pdf/txt files for some reason).
LLM's have a "temperature" value which defines how much randomness to allow in their answer. Like with everything LLM, this is basically a kludge that makes the performance better, even if it has little theoretical basis. So their results are non-deterministic and actually quite difficult to evaluate correctly at scale: feed responses to outputs into another model which tries to score it? Human score lots of responses? Raise the temperature enough to make it deterministic, score that, and presume that gives good enough results with a lower temperature?
I ended up losing nearly 15 years of my Google Location history during the switch to on-device, so if you're interested in doing analyses like this, be sure to back up your data on Takeout before you enable the on-device setting that nemo1618 mentioned.

I'm not invested, but slightly bullish on Ladybird here. I'm a FireFox user of the last five years, but I'm all ears for a non-chromium competitor.

I'm glad that it seems they're building a truly independent engine (which I assume is both rendering and JS). It's been a minute since we've had something _actually_ new in the browser space, and I'm excited.
I think they've tapped into something fundamental about knowledge, the mind, and information and this is only the beginning. How many different ways are there to train, wire these up, and integrate with other systems? Then the silicon built for it...I just don't know where the horizon is.

No, it is not accurate. That is not what Google's CLA says. (Though there are other CLAs out there that are closer to what you describe)

(*Update:* Though IANAL, you should read the child comment and the CLA itself and make up your own mind. https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual. The rest of my comment is mostly independent of the previous paragraph).

OTOH, IANAL, but AFAIK anyone can fork `jj` and sell a proprietary product based on jj (and distribute it under pretty much whatever license they like, with very few restrictions) because it is currently Apache licensed, but that is unrelated to the Google CLA.

Let me conjecture even more wildly about things I don't know. The following is a guess on my part.

One way to interpret this is that Google tends to publish their projects under Apache, and there is no need to demand that people transfer copyright to Google. By releasing your work under Apache, you are already giving Google (or anyone else) all the rights it needs.

AFAIK, the main purpose of the Google Individual CLA is to have you sign a statement claiming that you own the rights to your own work and didn't give up those rights to your employer.
This is so incredibly stupid, it almost makes me want to switch to hyprland. Now if only there was a cute kitten chasing the cursor...
Yes, I heard about them, but I also heard that their organisation was not at all free of hierachies, so many anarchists do not consider them anarchists.

They were people with weapons - taking what they needed for their fight. So some claim they were democratically legitimized, but the farms where they just took the horses and food from, could not really disagree - as the machnoists had the weapons. And they used it.

But most details seems to have been lost and it is hard getting accurate accounts. Those I read, were quite bloody and brutal. So all in all probably less brutal then the accounts of the white and red army, but not really up to the standards of "voluntarily" and "equality" like anarchisms wants to be.
>I've always been confused by this First Amendment argument with regards to TikTok: they're an organization that has been tied directly with an adversarial foreign state.

The First Amendment doesn't contain exceptions for adversarial foreign states, it's that simple. If it's acceptable to foment disinformation, hatred and conspiracy natively, and all free speech advocates will say that it is, then the same speech coming from foreign adversaries must also be acceptable.

And let's be clear - the premise that TikTok is some kind of nefarious CCP mind control platform is entirely speculative, and based primarily on Sinophobia. Elon Musk is driving far right wing white supremacist and anti-vaxx content all the time, but people are losing their shit about something TikTok isn't even doing.

>People should familiarize themselves with Gresham's Law: bad actors will always beat good actors if bad actors suffer no penalty.

This is true, but as far as the First Amendment is concerned, it's the job of society to penalize bad actors in the marketplace of ideas, not the government. Which is still further than many free speech advocates are willing to accept, but in practice means that it's up to TikTok (and every other platform) to decide what speech to carry, and what speech not to carry, and under whatever terms they choose, within legal limits of course.
Being able to create 2048 in 6 hours has basically zero economic value.

Can ChatGPT materially and positively impact the code written by big companies? Can it do meaningful work in excel? Can it do meaningful PowerPoint work? Can it give effective advice on management?

Right now we don’t know the answer to those questions. LLM apps can still improve in many ways - better base models, better integration with common enterprise applications, agentic processes, verifiability and so on - so there is definitely hope that there will be significant value created. Companies and people are excited because there’s huge potential. But it is really just potential right now … current systems aren’t creating real enterprise value at this moment in time

There is a reason why we don't use ASICs and instead use GPUs.

While people may say something is a Transformer that's more of a general description. It's not a specific algorithm; there are countless transformers and people are making progress on finding new ones.

Bitcoin runs a specific algorithm that never changes. That's for an ASIC. AI/ML runs a large class of models. GPUs are already finely tuned for his case.
> Those files should only be created if the user actually makes adjustments to the view settings or set a manual location for icons in a folder. That’s unfortunately not what happens and visiting a folder pretty much guarantees that a .DS_Store file will get created

This is my number one frustration with the Finder.

You can customize the look and size of individual folder windows in many interesting ways, al a the Classic Mac OS Finder, which is a really great feature. But if you blow through that same folder in a browser window then most of those customization are lost, overwritten with the settings of that browser window, even if you never change anything.

What's the point of allowing all of these great customizations when they're so easily clobbered?

I have a global hot key to bring up the Applications folder. I'd love to customize the look of that window, but it's pointless. Whenever I hit that hot key I have no idea what I'm going to get. It's always getting reset.

By the way, the reason it does this is because the Finder has no way to set a default browser window configuration. So instead, it just leaves behind the current browser settings in each folder it visits. Super frustrating.
And if some communities wish to be anarcho-capitalist, would they be permitted, or would other communities try to interfere?
I mean if you do the analysis on features supported on CanIUse, Safari is not really behind in any meaningful way.
