Exactly. There's some need, perhaps, to keep these tools "up to date" because someone in a non-free country is going to use them in a horrendous manner and we should maybe know more about them (maybe).

However, there is no good reason in a free society that this stuff should be widely accessible. Really, it should be illegal without a clearance, or need-to-know. We don't let just anyone handle the nukes...
The world probably would have missed out on a lot, since American industry (and exploitation) funded their R&D. Additionally, the next generation of (American, born-and-bred) scientists and engineers took us from their breakthroughs to more recent ones. The amazing things that can happen when people who were able to get an education are paid and tasked with something other than selling ads and opioids.
I think your iPhone analogy is apt. Do you want to be the person complaining that the phone drops calls or do you want to hold it slightly differently and get a lot of use out of it?

If you pay careful attention to prompt phrasing you will get a lot more mileage out of these models. That's the bottom line. If you believe that you shouldn't have to learn how to use a tool well then you can be satisfied with your righteous attitude but you won't get anywhere.
the goal of the Nvidia, etc., is to maximize ther profits, not to subsidize the incompetence of their competitors.
I can recommend Ente Auth https://ente.io/auth/. I use it for a while now and I have read some positive reviews.
Out of curiosity, what answer to that would you find acceptable? I don't know relativity well enough to even speculate.
Very fast collapse typically comes with positive evidence of this as people leave their lives out in the open, expecting to return later. Eg see the Roanoke colony in Virginia.
Yes, the former, trying to satirize cases where people are testing LLMs capabilities by its ability to count characters in a word, do mathematical operations token by token or otherwise. Because LLM is seeing hieroglyphs compared to character by character words that we are seeing. The true test is its ability to solve those problems using tools like somebody is using a calculator. And while it is good to learn and be good at math, it's not because of counting how much change you should receive when buying something. It's to figure out how reasoning works or how to reason in the first place.
Anyone tried both this and QCoDeS? We use QCoDeS in our lab after deciding Keysight's Labber wasn't tenable, and I'm curious how they compare.
Intent is immaterial
Yeah, of course tomorrow a global plague may eradicate us all, or "all except Sentinelese people".

Nevertheless, looking at our prehistory, the worst bottleneck of the human race was probably some 900 thousand years ago, way, way before we had anything resembling civilization.

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2023/august/human-ancest...

So, at least for me, the question of whether we are more resilient as civilization vs. as primitive people in their pristine state, is very much open. Too many people seem to be sure that going with the natural flow is long-term better. But it feels a bit like the Noble Savage myth reiterated for current sensibilities.
Looks really great! I never imagined that we will be "stealing" design from Chinese companies.
They call GPT4 a legacy model, maybe that's why they don't compare to it.
The problem with A -> B -> C is that it could be (A -> B) -> C or A -> (B -> C).

The -> operator in C is obvious. Though it does have left to right associativity, it's largely moot because only A would be a pointer-valued expression. The B and C would have to be member names:

A->left->value.

Even if the associativity went right to left, the semantic interpretation would have to be that the left member of A is selected, and then the value member of that.

When X -> Y means "mapping from X to Y", the associativity could be anything, and make sense that way. Moreover (X -> Y) -> Z is different from X -> (Y -> Z). One is a function which maps an X-to-Y function to Z, whereas the other is a function which maps X to a Y-to-Z function.
No, you are wrong, they were not. Centralized strategic planning did exist in USSR between 1930s (end of NEP) and 1950s (death of Stalin). The economic reforms of Kosygin shifted planning to enterprise level and the central planning authority - Gosplan - only coordinated the plans of each enterprise. In the last 30 years of its existence USSR was neither planned nor market economy, but rather something in between. They got incentives wrong, focusing on volume and revenue rather than on quality, innovation and profits.
This is true and yet companies (both Private and Public sector) spend literal billions on Accenture /Deloitte slop that runs budgets will into the 10s of millions.

Skills aren't even something that dictates software spend, it seems.
I haven't really seen those in the wild yet.

On the other hand there are plenty of cheap original Nespresso machines pretty much everywhere in Switzerland. In some countries Nestlé was virtually giving them away around 2010~2015. Shortly after, some patents expired and third party brands started selling plastic capsules, and Nestlé had to fight back and make their machines work poorly with these!

As far as I know all patents have expired now, and a few third party brands sell 100% compatible aluminium capsules.

Of all the tech companies in the US, Intel is the most likely to be bailed out by the government, no questions asked.

Poor business? Gimme a break. They could exterminate a smaller ~~African~~ scratch that, Central or South American country with zero consequences.

> Can you confidently say that an LLM won’t be better than an average 22 year old coder within these 30 years?

No 22 years old coder is better than the open source library he's using taken straight from github, and yet he's the one who's getting paid for it.

People who claim IA will disrupt software development are just missing the big picture here: software jobs are already unrecognizable from what it was just 20 years ago. AI is just another tool, and as long as execs won't bother use the tool by themselves, then they'll pay developers to do it instead.

Over the past decades, writing code has become more and more efficient (better programming languages, better tooling, then enormous open source libraries) yet the number of developers kept increasing, it's Jevons paradox[1] in its purest form. So if past tells us anything, is that AI is going to create many new software developer jobs! (because the amount of people able to ship significant value to a customer is going to skyrocket, and customers' needs are a renewable resource).

I tried it with a cipher text that ChatGPT4o flailed with.

Recently I tried the same cipher with Claude Sonnet 3.5 and it solved it quickly and perfectly.

Just now tried with ChatGPT o1 preview and it totally failed. Based on just this one test, Claude is still way ahead.

ChatGPT also showed a comical (possibly just fake filler material) journey of things it supposedly tried including several rewordings of "rethinking my approach." It remarkably never showed that it was trying common word patterns (other than one and two letters) nor did it look for "the" and other "th" words nor did it ever say that it was trying to match letter patterns.

I told it upfront as a hint that the text was in English and was not a quote. The plaintext was one paragraph of layman-level material on a technical topic including a foreign name, text that has never appeared on the Internet or dark web. Pretty easy cipher with a lot of ways to get in, but nope, and super slow, where Claude was not only snappy but nailed it and explained itself.
Oh it's already getting run on the open internet, plenty of hackers out there using CoT + agents for all sorts of things.
I have been a huge advocate of the pinecil and haven't used anything else in years. It's just so easy to grab my pinecil and temporarily use my laptop's power supply for the iron, or use a mobile battery, instead of moving myself and the things I am working on to the location of my soldering station. These look like upgrades compared to pinecil:

- comfier grip

- shorter tip length and presumably a more solid feel (the pinecil's mechanical interface to the tip is pretty loose-feeling)

- higher power over usb-c (actually can't think of a time I've needed more than 60W for hobby stuff, but I can imagine use cases like large ground planes)

- storage cap (this is a major improvement for working in a temporary, tight space)

All of these would be worth the price increase over pinecil, but unfortunately I think the lack of on-iron temperature settings is a dealbreaker. The pinecil in my toolbag is practically the size of a sharpie and works with my existing usb-c cables and batteries with no extra space taken up, and the killer feature (portability) is broken once you need a proprietary battery or a laptop to change temperature.
Hm, I'm wondering why "paid family leave" is listed as if anyone is suggesting the government pay for it.

When I have heard discussion of paid leave, it's always been "mandate companies provide it", not "federal government pays a stipend".

In "Build and support affordable housing", it lists a large increase in debt. Does that calculation take into account likely savings for local and state entities and hospitals?

I get it's a federal calculator, but it feels somewhat myopic.

I guess the same could be said by a military hawk, who may assert "Sure, cut spending by $450B in ten years, but World War 3 will cost $10T!"
Even for regular users, the Share button is not always available or functional. It works sometimes, and other times it disappears. For example, since today, I have no Share button at all for chats.
Yikes! Looks hopeful as of 3rd of September they say the following on facebook:

> Just a small mid-late month update. Thanks again to everyone who has donated. Small and big all donations make a big difference for our prototyping effort. We are now just waiting on coils and cnc to come through which should be a week or so. We finished clearing away all the rubble from the fire and the new shed is now built and sealed ready to start housing REVR! We have had some very productive discussions and vid calls with people looking to help make REVR happen which we may be able to elaborate on in future. We have also entered the Samsung Solve For Tomorrow comp to promote REVR. There is some more good competition news we can't wait to share. Will have some more substantial updates very soon.

People wouldn't use Nespresso pods if they found them to be horrible tasting, as you claim they are, no matter how convenient they are. They use them because they both enjoy the taste and find them convenient.

Most people like the taste of Nespresso pods, k-cups, drip coffee and Starbucks. The sales of all 4 reflect that.
So how is the internal chain of thought represented anyhow? What does it look like when someone sees it?

I must support Your words. Long time I thought that Intel is the best, but unfortunately I could not anymore.

Must admit, I still don't understand, how it happened, but now NVIDIA is best.

It is (or it can be) if you want to avoid antitrust lawsuits. Same reason Microsoft bailed out Apple in the 90s.

That doesn't sound like a method for reasoning.
not only are they not going to do that, Sony’s android phones delete the firmware if you unlock the bootloader
I didn't know the name of it before, but this sounds like many developers I know who work only to the spec and will not deviate under any circumstances, even when it is dangerous or just plain wrong.

> All mainstream, general purpose programming languages are (basically) Turing-complete, and therefore any programme you can write in one you can, in fact, write in another.

That stuck out to me as well, I said out loud "that is a very Haskell thing to say". It would be more accurate to say that Turing Completeness means that any programme you write in one language, may be run in another language by writing an emulator for the first programme's runtime, and executing the first programme in the second.

Because it is not "in fact" the case that a given developer can write a programme in language B just because that developer can write the program in language A. It isn't even "in principle" the case, computability and programming just aren't that closely related, it's like saying anything you can do with a chainsaw you can do with a pocketknife because they're both Sharp Complete.

I shook it off and enjoyed the rest of the article, though. Haskell will never be my jam but I like reading people sing the virtues of what they love.
There's no such thing as "your Android phone" - this phone is not really yours. Not just because Android acts against your interest, but also because you have no access to the TEE (which powers DRM for example).

Things will get even worse because Google is working on the AVF framework which includes so called "protected VMs" - of course they're meant to be protected from you, the user. Their "security" (where you're the "attacker") is based on the TEE but also a so called "protected vm firmware".
In their design document they explicitly say that these protected VMs can provide "security" only with locked bootloader.. you probably know what that means..
As always, The Economist is 2-3 months behind the hurrent hate trend.

Yes, Intel is currently in a slump. Just like AMD was for a decade before Zen 2/3.
Is intel even in a position to be competitive on the fab level? I was under the impression intel's fabs haven't been "cutting edge" for a long time now.
It's because there is nothing novel here from an architectural point of view. Again, the secret sauce is only in the training data.

Great, yet another step towards the inevitable conclusion. Now I'm not just being asked to outsource my thinking to my computer, but instead to a black box operated by a for-profit company for the benefit of Microsoft. Not only will they not tell me the whole reasoning chain, they wont even tell me how they came up with it.

Tell me, users of this tool. What's even are you? If you've outsourced your thinking to a corporation, what happens to your unique perspective? your blend of circumstance and upbringing? Are you really OK being reduced to meaningless computation and worthless weights. Don't you want to be something more?
I describe it as "appetite calming." Not sure how else to put it. I used to have a low grade constant craving for food. I wasn't obese but the weight had crept up. Losing weight was impossible. I had high blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. (Now on meds for all those things and they are under control.)

Immediately after going on metformin my appetite calmed. Slowly, over the next year, I lost 25 pounds. I did not try to diet. My BMI is now 23.7.

After a few months I started weight training. I changed my diet to lower carbs. I haven't lowered my HbA1c into a totally comfortable level (it is 5.6 and 5.7 and above is prediabetic). But I am better.

But before any of those changes, just the Metformin alone calmed my appetite.
I can go hours without thinking about food. I am just less concerned. I feel normal.

Just as a data point, the last time I got Covid, it was quite mild. It's at least possible that the better metabolic health and weight loss had an impact.
Yep. It will become the default after a bit. As I mentioned in the other thread, Google is using its monopoly position to force consumers to do business with it (by forcing them to have a google account to use the play walled garden).

I would demand more from machine reasoning, just like we demand an extremely low error rate from machine calculations.
Demand for x86 processors isn't going away any time soon either, and they're only one of only two companies with a license to make them. AMD is currently strong on the x86 front, but their production is constrained by the wafer allocations they can get at TSMC while those wafers would be more profitably spent on making GPUs instead.
With nearly unlimited energy, if you set up an indefinite while-loop asking it to continue to expand and make new theories on the same token vector it would approach >99% meaninglessness.
I have a cheap binocular microscope at home, and solder most everything underneath it. A USB microscope is much lower resolution, and the image lags. They're pretty terrible.

At work I get to use a very very expensive Olympus binocular microscope. It is extraordinarily good, but at about 60k it costs more than a car.

Also, what is the financial risk the software is reducing or eliminating? If it massively reduces risk, it could adjust the price higher. These banks wouldn't bat an eye at $100k/yr if it has the chance to reduce a million screw-up byba sufficient amount.

TFA says companies have an incentive for intel to succeed so they're not all reliant on TSMC.

Apple used to dual-source their chips from Samsung/TSMC before they went all in with TSMC, but it's clear they're now vulnerable to geopolitical tensions.

It depends on what is worse, a slow leakage that can poison the life in the immediate vicinity for decades, or a quick explosion that is immediately lethal to life in a large volume but is quickly diluted.

Also, I don't believe that arsenic-containing chemical agents were used in WWI. Lewisite production started in 1918, too late for it to enter the war. And other chemical weapon agents are not persistent polluters.
You mentioned in another comment you’ve used AI to write clean code, but here you mention you’re a “shit coder”. How do you know it’s giving you clean code?

There was a time when Apple had a market cap approximately equal to its book value, about 4 billion.

This was when basically every article about the company used the word beleaguered, they couldn’t actually ship the computers people wanted to buy, and they were flailing around with their next gen os.
The context was the cost of a Solidworks license within the purchasing power of an average salary. Meaning the question posed was whether an employee could buy a Solidworks license.

To that, I say that is irrelevant because just like you said: It's the company that buys and pays for the license, not a singular employee on a salary.
> N100/N97

Aren't those extremely cheap? Do they have good margins on them?
I think Gelsingers plan is sound, but they have only one try left after they desired to skip 20A to save money. It's 18A or bust. If 18A is not success, Intel will drop out of manufacturing. If 18A does well, Intel is back making money next to TSMC.

So far 18A seems to be a success. Already sub-0.40 D0 defect density and launch at some time 2025Q3 and fully ramped up in 2026.

Fabs will bleed money 2024 and 2025, there is no way around it.
Microsoft bought Apple shares for their own benefit instead of for supporting a competitor (it was too cheap for them and they could argue not a monpoly).
Having an order of magnitude larger country makes this strategy somewhat similar, but different in kind, due to the new economic distortions that haven’t been trialed before.

Hints at private equity sharks might start circling. Splitting chip design and fabrication would align with how most of the industry operates. Get very good at chip design or fabrication.

The era of WinTel is over. Megalithic data centers tend not to use MS OS and thus are free to choose AMD and increasingly ARM CPUs. For Intel to rush into AI would be, too little, too late.
