Not really. You archive that by liking, following, blocking and muting. And once you do that, you create an account which is very much an extreme bubble, because of the recommendation's engine profile which is generated for you, and which you can't tweak. You can't say: "Show me no politics, even from people I follow". You can't backlist topics. The auto-generated list is not helpful, because you can only uncheck auto-recommended topics.

"Ignore political tweets except those coming from politicians or journalists with at least x followers"

My Twitter account is very nice, because I only see AI and 3D programming stuff. No politics or other stuff. It's a bubble.

I have another Twitter account which is relatively new (in terms of "use", but exists since the beginnings), which I use to see what is getting posted about politics and which topics are trending, and I always end up in a bad mood, because there I see how horribly Twitter is getting used to promote hatred.

Maybe Twitter is more extreme in Germany, in terms of negativity, as there the far right has taken over. Add to this Elon's posts, who I wouldn't be surprised is living in an extreme bubble on Twitter, where all looks "nice" to him, in terms of "freedom of speech". I'm not sure if he's aware of what's really going on in Germany on his platform. It is extremely toxic. It adds no value to a democratic discourse.

Am I in a bubble because of my AI-3D-filtered account? No, because I also read news to stay informed about politics and society, but for others the other news sources are Telegram and TikTok.
>the not for profit structure

Vast oversimplification.

It's difficult to get your arms around the absurdity that is the OpenAI corporate structure. A non-profit parent entity with a wholly owned for-profit subsidiary (actually, the non-profit wholly owns and controls a third "manager" entity which in turn is the controlling but not majority shareholder of the for-profit subsidiary) where the profit of the for-profit entity is "capped" and oh by the way, that for-profit subsidiary has a 49% shareholder who happens to be Microsoft. However, Microsoft, despite having 49% ownership of the for-profit subsidiary, gets 75% of their profit..........until their initial investment is recouped. Employees get Profit Participation Units (PPUs) which are NOT equity but which entitle employees to a percentage of profits, again up to the "cap". Then of course, when OpenAI achieves AGI, whatever the hell that is, then everything from that point forward reverts back to the non-profit entity and Microsoft, other investors, and employees get hosed.

People say that (and the same for Python), but I just don’t get it – and I’m a huge fan of Python.

With shell, I can take the same tools I’ve already been using as one-liners while fiddling around, and reuse them. There is no syntax mapping to do in my head.

With any other language, I have to map the steps, and probably also add various modules (likely within stdlib, but still). That’s not nothing.

I’ve rewritten a somewhat-complicated bash script into Python. It takes some time, especially when you want to add tests.
Ben Thompson has been covering Intel’s precarious position for over a decade (well before the market finally realized it) and the latest update is not looking good:

Intel’s is technically on pace to achieve the five nodes in four years Gelsinger promised (in truth two of those nodes were iterations), but they haven’t truly scaled any of them; the first attempt to do so, with Intel 3, destroyed their margins. This isn’t a surprise: the reason why it is hard to skip steps is not just because technology advances, but because you have to actually learn on the line how to implement new technology at scale, with sustainable yield. Go back to Intel’s 10nm failure: the company could technically make a 10nm chip, they just couldn’t do so economically; there are now open questions about Intel 3, much less next year’s promised 18A.

Usually the point is the same as with a very-heard-of well-maintained one: how did they do it?

Algorithms and methodologies don't require being well-known or being well-maintained to be valid and useful comparisons.
A great example of the rule is that C++ rediscovers car/cdr at a glacial pace in the template language. In C++26 one can finally get the car of a typename parameter pack with Args...[0].

I've no idea why they don't introduce car/cdr functions and nil for empty parameter packs and allow to store parameter packs instead of the current syntax insanity.

One thing the article doesn’t mention is how they figured out that waiting for external memory access is the bottleneck. Are there any profiling tools available that would tell the developer that the cpu is waiting for external memory x% of the time?
Why not?

I actually really want one and could afford it, but the combination of abundant apparent QC issues and reports of poor/slow customer service kill the idea for me.

Once they’re out there for another couple of years and there are published statistics - and I’m able to get my hands on some used ones to see how they’ve held up - I’ll reevaluate. Until then, I’ll stick with my 25-year-old Jeep.

Valuation is based on future, not past performance. Toyota is looking a bit stale and weak lately. They are loosing market share. Amongst others to BYD and Tesla in a market that Tesla single handedly created. And Toyota's portion of that is so pathetic it's barely worth talking about.

It's gotten so bad that Toyota is currently actually outsourcing EVs to BYD at the same time that company is grabbing market share from them. Not a great look if you have to ask your fastest growing competitor to please build a product for you.

Tesla is of course taking a few big bets that may or may not pay off. Many people are rightfully somewhat skeptical about all that but it is a bit disingenuous to portray them as just a car company given their growing number of "definitely not a car" type products and services. E.g. battery storage is bringing in quite a bit of revenue now for them and is one of the things that is rapidly growing. And of course the whole robots, AI, and FSD angle has lots of potential. Regardless of whether you believe Tesla can do that or not.

This article is about OpenAI who is getting quite stellar valuations in that area. Tesla is of course part of that market. Toyota very much isn't.

In short, Tesla might fail or they might succeed. In the same way Toyota might recover or they might not. To be honest, both companies have issues. But I have more confidence in Tesla than Toyota. Toyota seems a company without ambition and vision. Tesla can't be accused of that. Toyota's vision is to do what all their competitors are doing right now but in ten years. Tesla's vision is to do in ten years what nobody is doing right now.

Again, you might not believe in any of that. But you might be wrong. That's the gamble you make in the stock market with either company. And the share price is just a reflection of what people buying shares right now believe.
Building an LLM Router
Fragmentation is not the problem. The problem is inability to change os or firmware. If control of upgrading or changing os wasn't solely with the maker there wouldn't have been an issue in the first place. I bet for example many of these bugs might be due to the much older linux kernels in use in phones. Again something easily solved by making the os easily changeable and not presenting cryptographic etc roadblocks to reverse engineering, if they don't even want to open source the firmwares at least. At the end of the day these are software bugs not hardware bugs, so the solution as with any software is to be able to push fixes. It does not matter if there are a million different Android phone platforms, a fix to some bug in the Linux kernel for example should work the same on all of them. More importantly, as a piece of pure software this should be something anyone working on Linux or Android should be able to fix as happens in the more sane world of laptop, server etc hardware. If we weren't locked to the manufacturer for all operating system and software support this won't be a problem in the first place. Imagine how ridiculous it'd be if we had a Dell XPS 13 OS, a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 OS etc that went out of support the moment the model is discontinued instead of the sane and normal situation where your Debian or whatever os continues receiving software updates as long as Debian wants to support it.

Piers Anthony didn’t quite rail against his fans but he complained bitterly about having a contract that obligated him to write Xanth books at a superhuman rate even if it made him rich. He probably hates Xanth more than I did.

Similarly Douglas Adams hit it big with Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy which created a new kind of fan. I read an Asimov book and then read more Asimov books and then Heinlein and Pohl and Herbert and Anderson and Leiber and Smith and Anthony and many others. People whose first book was Hitchhiker followed the trajectory of reading the same book hundreds of times rather than hundreds of books by different authors. Adams’ success left him typecast and boxed in, something he was resentful about, probably more resentful than I was at feeling really alone in a world of ‘sci-fi fans’ who had never branched out past Doug Adams (and who wouldn’t have even bought a Doug Adams book that was the slightest bit different.)

I’ll not though I enjoyed Stross’s early books (Iron Sunrise and Singularit Sky) and I like his antipope blog but I could not stand following him on Mastodon because he uses the word “fascist” the way some people use another f-word, as in “Keir Starmer is a fascist”

He gets halfway through that article before he uses that word, to his credit.

I grew up around the same time as Musk and certainly the branch of 1970s sci-fi he talks about appealed to me a lot, but he leaves out the story of the “new wave” which formed in opposition to the strand he’s talking about but ran out of steam in the 1970s and the rise of Tor Press which had a much more militaristic (would someone dare say “fascist?”) orientation which turned me off.

The plan when having a self driving car help you steal it would not be to have it self-drive from the owner's home in, say, San Francisco, to a chop shop in Tijuana where you gang awaits, thus requiring it to make a long trip without human intervention.

It would be have it self-drive from the owner's home to someplace nearby not associated with the the thieves to get it out of sight from the owner's security cameras and whatever other security cameras in the neighborhood might be watching where the gang can disable the cloud connection and then transport it by truck or driving it in manual mode to their chop shop.

This hides quote a lot of awful, cruel, selfish and unfair. You don't build monasty by being nice. Dynasties are possible only due to little stuff like massacres and human rights violation, belief that you are more entitled then others.

When you remove religion, traditional values that build monasty you get awful lot of great people who help other, who are nice, who work to create better world. And if you remove family you get the same except more lonely.

I was fortunate to be hired as a contractor 11 years ago to work on an internal Google Knowledge Graph application. Google is just one of many large companies to utilize one huge graph to localize information from many sources.

I bought into TBL’s Semantic Web ideas (and I cover ‘lower case’ semantic web topics in a few of my books). I think it is a shame that publicly accessible world knowledge graphs never really took off, but at least Google’s Data Commons is available for free for non-commercial, educational, and research uses.
I'm sure they intend to do something like that, but unfortunately time/funding is probably getting in the way. Making an app like that is not exactly cheap. You need either the right combination of skills or a lot of trial an error, which is either high rate times short time, or low rate times long time. So they probably released this intermediate work to try to gin up some interest to get more funding.

Good luck to them. Never really worked out that way for me in my efforts.
