You saw the small replica Rembrandt made for the dude who commissioned the painting. He wanted one to hang in his home. It’s much smaller than the actual piece, which covers a whole wall.

And indeed, the large one got a chunk cut off at some stage as they had to move it. This was long ago when Rembrandt was not particularly in vogue.

1. A posting like this appeared on [Reddit](
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1e79xoz/creati...) two months ago. This repo started two months ago. The user [ApexProgrammer](https://github.com/ApexProgrammer) has one repo under their account.

2. These repos' first commits happened around July 12th, 2024, and July 9th, 2024.

3. One reference "Farm Manager," and another reference "Farm to Market."

Questions:

- Are these artifacts from a school project?
- Are these AI-driven code repositories bent on world domination?
- Are these questions to remain unanswered?
Their hope is to reach AGI and effective post-scarcity for most things that we currently view as scarce.

I know it sounds crazy but that is what they actually believe and is a regular theme of conversations in SF. They also think it is a flywheel and whoever wins the race in the next few years will be so far ahead in terms of iteration capability/synthetic data that they will be the runaway winner.
I suppose in the real world such stars would collide in the center of the sphere and possibly form a black hole before achieving the required density approaching infinity, and also catapult stars out so that they leave the system by exceeding the escape velocity without encountering an elastic wall returning them to the system.

But there were cases in late summer 2019, and indirect evidence some researchers may have got sick around that time. They should just give up trying to whitewash it by now, nearly all the circumstantial evidence points to a lab leak, and virtually none to zoonotic origin, other than 'this is how it usually works', and 'evidence is consistent with' (ie does not rule it out).

I recently experimented with running llama-3.1-8b-instruct locally on my Consumer hardware, aka my Nvidia RTX 4060 with 8GB VRAM, as I wanted to experiment with prompting pdfs with a large context which is extremely expensive with how LLMs are priced.

I was able to fit the model with decent speeds (30 tokens/seconds) and a 20k token context completely on the GPU.

For summarization, the performance of these models are decent enough. However unfortunately in my use case I felt using Gemini's Free Tier with it's multimodal capabilities and much better quality output made running local LLMs not really worth it as of right now, atleast for consumers.

Someone works grueling hours in the sun to grow it and then the rest of us work and pay those people that grew it money. Is this really a question?

If the people doing the growing are getting all of their needs met why would they grind to produce food to sell for money when they get money for free?

Why would the vast majority of people in the bottom 50% of the economic ladder work at all if they were getting all of their needs met at no cost to them?
This is exciting, and should be fairly easy to confirm/deny with a double blind trial in humans. There's no money to be had in it for big pharma, so funding it would have to come from some other means, but it should be possible.

This. Mostly disk latency, for me. People who have only ever known DBaaS have no idea how absurdly fast they can be when you don’t have compute and disk split by network hops, and your disks are NVMe.

Of course, it doesn’t matter, because the 10x latency hit is overshadowed by the miasma of everything else in a modern stack. My favorite is introducing a caching layer because you can’t write performant SQL, and your DB would struggle to deliver it anyway.
I wouldn’t say that. There are some not obvious things like timing attacks that you probably shouldn’t feel bad about.

If you’re still writing sql injections though, yeah, you’re terrible.

Heh all along I'm wondering, what kind of thermodynamic cycle is it? By six strokes, does it mean there are actually distinct new phases to the PV graphs compared to Atkinson/Carnot/Miller?

Yes, that's why I qualified self-worth by field of competency. I really try to view the world objectively, ignoring the opinions of others, but after N fizzled relationships... is it me or is it you?

But just because you are detached from societal values doesn't imply you should be detached from people. I can't enumerate the intangibles I get by surrounding myself with others. I perform better, I have better ideas, I feel more alert. I've never been able to understand why as I never gain any objective aid. Does unexpected input promote flexible thinking? Am I inspired by differing worldviews to think outside the box. Or is it simple happiness? No idea.

At Microsoft I headed Incident Count Reduction on my team where opex could be top priority & rotating on call would have a common thread between shifts through me (ie, I would know which issues were related or not, what fixes were in the pipe, etc)

I'm guessing the above isn't an option for you, but you can try drive an understanding that while someone is on call there is no expectation for them to work on anything else. That means subtracting on call head count during project planning

Im more positive on the topic, and think what we are seeing is growing pains, and they are not equally distributed.

Almost all of our historic writings wrestling with the higher levels of the pyramid came from social elites, and now vast swaths of humanity are able (or forced) to wrestle with these tough questions.

Many people seem to be avoidant and running from these tough questions to their own detriment, but culture takes time to adjust.

I think your points about levels of self fulfillment and satisfaction are strong evidence that the destination state of Brave New World is unstable equilibrium at best. Most people being miserable from their own existential angst is not long sustainable in an environment where the cognitive tools to overcome it exist and are available.

I think culture will adapt because I think there is a lot of selection pressure favoring being well adapted. People will look at those with fulfillment and satisfaction and emulate them. Thats what I try to do. Right now just happens be a tough time for a lot of people to identify that because we are in a period of transition.

I think people will have a much better sense of which one of us is correct 5 generations from now.

Even if a company prefers RTW (or partial RTW aka forced hybrid), that doesn't mean every employee does. The mismatch is not ideal. Additionally, this limits the company to either hiring from a fraction of the available talent pool, or enduring the strife you speak of. As a company grows, these issues compound and become more likely to present.

That's why the ideal solution here is a choice arrangement (aka flex), where the people who want RTO or Partial RTO can self-organize in the office, and the others can self-organize elsewhere.
That's the thing. HVDC works better in a decentralised manner. You don't have clocking to deal with so instead it's mainly a matter of just hooking power production and power draw up to what is basically a big cross-country busbar.

And you can connect as many bridging connections as you want without having to worry about phase or desync. Instead more connections generally just means power goes from production to consumption along more efficient paths.

The confusion seems to be all yours. This article is certainly something. First, they dispute that licenses are actually setting legal terms. If they were not, then there was no point to open-source licensing either. So that argument is idiotic. Secondly, sentences like

are full of unjustified entitlement. And also not relevant: The companies we are talking about are not open-source companies. They are just companies. Some of them, with source-available software and/or hardware. Some of them, with open-source software and/or hardware. Some of them, with both.

How popular was it compared to Bible? Was it possible for people to consume his writings in multimedia formats like video, audio? Were there meme-pages on tiktoks which contextualized his writings in different day-to-day scenarios so that the importance of his general ideas were imprinted on their minds? Did he have debate with others to defend his ideas watched by many, how would he respond to those counter-arguments? Would your mind change considering if his responses weren't that strong or on filmsy grounds?

I can see that. And your counterexample is also pretty apt.

I guess universally it may not be true, but I suspect for some it very well could be. Just depends on the value function you ascribe to (knowingly or unknowingly).

It should also be said that this topic is more complex than these simple models. I've heard it described that Narcissists essentially refute the evidence rather than allow it to poke a hole in their bubble of self-worth; All of that to say, there are many moving pieces beyond just how you value things that add up to your self-worth.
One of the most 'nice' thing about contract systems is automating blame checking in higher-order code. They handle the lambda/method param wrapping and blame direction assignment for you, which is annoying to do via manual assertions.

>Of course big money doesn't understand what they invested in

Why "of course"? SIE did the due diligence, not just the executives (e.g. Hermen Hulst, the head of WWS, who signed off on the deal, is lauded as the genius of game design with such amazing titles as Killzone and Horizon under his direction during his tenure at Guerilla) but very senior people at the Playstation studios (Bungie, Naughty Dog, Insomniac etc.) checked this out and identified it as a sensible investment into a successful game. These are not some VCs investing into the most hyped thing this week, these are some acclaimed developers closing their eyes on the abomination of a game they purchased with money they don't really have.

There is nothing remotely normal in this process, this is something like Toyota buying Fisker for $10B and putting its badge on Karma.
