"SE" denotes a cheaper, less capable model that is not part of the main sequence of product generation numbering. There have been two generations of Watch SE and three generations of iPhone SE; they're not updated as frequently as the flagship product line. The Watch SE does not have the sensors for EKG or blood oxygen, which are probably necessary for the sleep apnea detection.

Take a look at the hiring market today. Not that many options.

It's scummy and imo represents bad leadership (a lot of the good Amazonians in mid-level management got poached during the pandemic which caused some internal degradation as their replacements were strong but not as experienced with 0-to-1 + ), but there really aren't many other options that can pay Amazon level.

Hybrid (2-3 days in the office) solves most of your communication needs at the leadership level. 5 days is just too much.

+ A lot of the all-star PM and Eng leadership I knew of at AWS were poached during the pandemic to leadership or leadership track positions at plenty of companies (eg. Datadog, Felicis, Google, etc)
IIRC vbuterin formerly published code to brute force the nakamoto accounts specifically. It looks like the Python code to attempt such in Canada is no longer easy to find on github and things CSVW did, like Calibri and OpenOffice.

TIL about keys.lol:

> Every Bitcoin and Ethereum private key is on this website

The Large Bitcoin Collider: https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/about

> The "Large Bitcoin Collider" (LBC - a homage to LHC) is a distributed effort to find at least one collision of private Bitcoin keys by creating addresses to private keys in a continuous 2160 range. These are checked against the list of known BTC addresses with funds on them. In the rare event of a collision, the funds on the address in question would become accessible to the collision finder.

Unfortunately it's not possible to prevent sanctioned states from stealing assets by guessing crypto keys either.

When one sends a transaction from a Bitcoin address, the public key of the source account is then disclosed.

Is it or isn't it a vulnerability to share public keys; or, how long would it take to guess one or all key pairs with n coherent qubits in what year?

Robots that install PV. I think there's even an YCombinator startup doing exactly that? Needs a higher degree of AI to function outdoors than in a nice fixed factory setting.

(Especially if they also drive the trucks containing the PV, but who knows how long we'll have to wait for that AI…)

Mm. These things give increasing levels of generalisability: the biggest weakness of previous models, was that you could train them to learn one thing very well, and they'd suck at anything else.

In one sense that's still true of the new models, it's just that they're being trained to build a world model from most written text and most pictures and most videos, so they have a very broad range of things they're OK at — much less likely to be confused by a rattlesnake they mistake for a powerline, for example.
I remember the day Netscape added "Javascript" and many people complained that the name was confusing because it had nothing at all to do with Java. It was especially confusing because people used to embed actual Java applications in webpages as "applets". It was a dumb marketing move right from the start and it has caused nothing but trouble ever since. It's way past time for the name to be changed.
I would agree, a bureaucracy that one chooses to enter (employment) as a means to earn income is different from living under an all-controlling government that dictates most aspects of your life. Still, people in highly bureaucratic jobs tend to burn out and quit, or endure a certain level of misery.
Weekly injectable semaglutide is the first generation.

Tirzepatide is already more effective and better tolerated for most people, and there is also semaglutide as a daily oral pill available as Rybelsus. Further generations of obesity drugs are already in human trials, and are showing even greater effects relative to the side effects (e.g. retatrutide and combination therapy with cagrilintide).

Price is an issue, but with multiple pharma companies that have effective drugs, the prices have already come down quite a lot. My tirzepatide is running me less than £200/month now, and I'm saving at least that on groceries and eating out. Not even counting that it's effectively cured a few weight related medical conditions that were costing me more.
I'll grant you this. Meditation in the modern secular context which is devoid of its philosophical undercurrent, done in absence of an experienced teacher that has achieved the goal can lead to the pitfalls you describe.

Meditation is a tool, and it can be pointed to many aims. Without the right aims, it can lead you to reinforce things you don't want to like you describe. It can also lead you to dissociate, or to exacerbate latent neurosis. However, it can also be a life affirming method for being more present and less hung up on the vicissitudes of the anxiety producing nature of an impermanent world. It takes wisdom to use it for the latter.

I can't tell if there is any emotion (sadness) associated with those rules, but I've found, sadly, that those and more apply to business email. It didn't use to be that way, but now that folks don't even know what bottom posting is, much less are able to discuss the merits:

- one idea per email

- exec summary must be first ... don't lay out a case then summarize at the end

- only 1 question per email

if it's more complex than that, you need to break it up into a kind of detective clue-hunting trap sequence, where you ask each question in turn, in a multiple exchange thread. never try to shortcut it / condense into a single message.

- it is acceptable for your signature to be multiples of the body size

I increasingly feel the route to simplifying health insurance and medical care in the US is to bypass the existing legacy players entirely.

A good example here is Betamax. A lot of people lament that Betamax lost despite being better on a lot of measures: picture quality, etc. But what Betamax wasn't better at than VHS was runtime, and an early application of home VCRs was to time-shift NFL games, which ran longer than Betamax could record. It turns out that the end of NFL games is often the most important part, so people bought VHS instead of Betamax. So best is not some idealized thing, but depends a lot on what exactly you're measuring.

But also... this isn't doing well for Boeing? It's costing the money? I don't think Boeing is a template for success.

Not entirely true - bad things can be measured. Harm exists and has a value. The value, in this case if you wanted to derive, would be the amount of money consumers spent on random advertised things.

Sure it would be hard to measure - but you could argue that money is money consumers lost as a result of Mr Beast (or maybe YouTube as a whole).

For example, looking to the tobacco industry: they were incredibly economically successful because they leveraged the weaknesses of the human brain to sell their product, namely nicotine addiction. This is now largely considered immoral, but let's look past that.

We can still measure the badness, or harm, of the tobacco industry objectively. We see how much money was/is spent on cancer treatment, COPD treatment, etc. These analysis have been done before and it's pretty damning, billions of dollars. In some cases, the cost of tobacco straight up exceeds the profit. Meaning, from a communal economic standpoint, they are a net-negative. Yes, it's true, tobacco, while wildly popular, is economically in the red.

Of course, we live in a staunchly capitalistic, individualistic society. Communal economic cost/benefit is almost never looked at. Which is why we had the problems with the tobacco industry, and why the obesity epidemic grows. Mr Beast videos are not of this scale, but I would argue they are of this nature.

This is excellent advice. Spending 5 hours on a weekend cycling is extremely relaxing, not only because you are intensely using your body, but because you are completely and utterly distracted.

When I cycle, the first twenty kilometers are usually fairly painful: I am tired, I feel my knees, back, and muscles hurt, and am generally uncomfortable. After those twenty kilometers I enter a meditative, gelatinous phase, were I no longer really feel my body. I just ride. This is when I _think_; the same style of thinking I experience when lying, comfortably, in bed.

After maybe 60–90 kilometers (depending on my current fitness level), I enter the pain stage. This is when I start feeling my body again. Believe it or not, this is definitely the most therapeutic stage. This is when I cannot think. My mind stays blank, and I do — in a manner of speaking — nothing.

This lack of thought, meaning lack of stress, of worry, of hectic, etc., is what motivates me to go on 150 or 200 kilometer bike rides. You feel physically refreshed and exhausted. You feel that you were able to think in peace and purely, as well as having been void of all negative, stressful thoughts.

To anyone who has never tried an endurance sport like cycling: I highly recommend it. I started when I was 14, and it was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. It spared me hours of depression, fear, and stress. It also encouraged me to think and meditate in peace. I would not be the person I am today, if it were not for my dear high-school friend who showed me the world of cycling (as well as the world of communism; I owe much to this friend). Thank you.

While I agree with you, his goal is probably to make the most money. But I understand why he might not have phrased it that way. For any company their final goal is obviously to make the most money possible. But this goal is kind of unclear.

Very long time AI skeptic (since 1980) but I believe you're wrong. It turns out we don't need to figure out exactly how a biological brain works. It's just nature's solution for implementing matrix operations (greatly simplified take, obviously). Having hit on approaches that produce similar results to biological systems, we now don't need to focus so much on emulating them.

I do suspect however that there's something to the biological experience of "being the life support system" for the brain, that significantly affects the training process. It might be challenging to simulate that.

Bitcoin doesn't stabilize the power grid. Its stupid greewashing. There is no motivation for a Bitcoin miner to leverage 'overenergy' the only motivation is to get cheap energy as much as possible.

In NYC they bought a Gas power plant only for bitcoin. In Texas they had to pay millions to bitcoin miners for them to shut down. In china they stole power from normal people left and right.

It also allows to sell local limited energy globally and pushing energy into the trading/gambling area. Instead of giving local people cheap energy, some bitcoin miner will try to get as much of that cheap energy possible. It also incentivives using bitcoin miners to use flare gas instead of doing something to actually capture and use it as it is a limited resource.

Nonetheless PoW is stupid. its the worst scenario we can come up with in a society with scare resources and a very limited co2 budget by now ( have you watched the TED talk? ). And at the end bitcoins PoW system even still stand on our existing PoW system. Someone stole your bitcoins? You go to the police... Without our existing PoS System, you would need to keep your bitcoin wallet and address always anonyme otherwise you would trust our law and order (part of our PoS system) and you could literaly only send bitcoins around and nothing else. (Smart contracts are also not scalable and not stable solution to this issue).

Btw. yes gold need energy to be mined but its a one time cost YOU HAVE TO DO to use this material. Bitcoin is a Waste Resource all the time to use. And Gold has real value in science, manufacturing and in styling/model/art. Nonetheless we need to get the co2 production of Gold down and Bitcoin we just don't need. The best solution is to get rid of bitcoin and keep reducing co2 production for gold.

And yes i do have a lot more arguments on why bitcoin is useless.
Scaling like what? Are there any comparisons with and without CoT, or with other models with their CoT? As far as I'm aware, their CoT part is secret. I'm sure the finetuning does some lifting, but I'm also sure the difference in a fair comparison won't be remotely as significant as it's being hyped currently.

This is still clearly CoT, with all its limitations and caveats as expected. That's an improvement, sure, but definitely not a qualitative leap like OAI is trying to present it. (in a really shady manner)
Lawyers finding problems and trying to stop things from happening instead of finding solutions. Security blocking things and not suggesting alternatives. IT blocking this or that instead of trying solve problems, etc.

Legit, but you're not thinking this all the way through. As an organization grows you'll have people whose primary duty is risk mitigation, without the executive authority to pick up the phone and spend resources on implementing, identifying, or seeking a solution. Indeed, if they spend too much time solutioneering, it will limit their ability to do the job they were hired for. Then they get punished for going too far. The sort of initiative-taking and ownership that works great in a startup can get someone fired in a larger org.

Golden rice is a solution which works in a specific context by virtue of it being rice. People who will benefit from it already eat rice, know how to grow rice, how to store it and how to distribute it. When they could produce a fresh vegetable like lettuce and distribute it year round at a price that everyone can afford, they could very likely grow and distribute any vegetable. Particularly those which are already rich in beta carotene.

Hence my question: What problem does golden lettuce solve...

Maybe it's about the definition of the word 'popular'.

Dictionary.com:

1. regarded with favor, approval, or affection by people in general

2. regarded with favor, approval, or affection by an acquaintance or acquaintances:

3. of, relating to, or representing the people, especially the common people:

4. of the people as a whole, especially of all citizens of a nation or state qualified to participate in an election:

5. prevailing among the people generally:

6. suited to or intended for the general masses of people:

7. adapted to the ordinary intelligence or taste:

8. suited to the means of ordinary people; not expensive:

I have always associated popular with definition 1. Let me ask differently: do people really like JavaScript or they like web and JavaScript is forced upon them since there are no alternatives (and they actually dislike/hate it)?

Same as ever by Morgan Housel, also the author of the Psychology of Money. This book is not directly related to startups, but I have read it, and it is full of timeless lessons that could apply to startups, like planning pessimistically yet dreaming optimistically, the compounding effect, and many more. I think it could set you in a good mindset for startups, especially in the early stage, though I think this book could resonate with anyone. It’s quite new, but it’s one of the best reads of mine this year.
