Sure. I wasn't disagreeing or correcting you, I was just providing background information. That background information provides some important nuance.

It also provides another example of Matt exploding with a personal vendetta (IMO). Which is highly relevant to what's happening now. It's a pattern.
"The only way to do this is to give the person a place to live."

The people who are homeless are homeless because they, due to drugs, alcohol, or mental illness aren't safe to have around others of extreme poverty.

My friend operate several halfway houses. Almost weekly he has to kick someone out because they are a danger to staff or other clients. Generally this is at 2am, and the police are involved.

Our society has decided that institutionalizing people is inhumane. Well, if someone isn't safe enough to be in a halfway house and institutions are inhumane, the only place for them to go is the street, and, eventually, if they are lucky, prison.

> I once typed an SSH password in the username field, and the only way to erase that was to erase all the logs. So this has some significant downsides.

I hope this was a personal system. Changing logs in this manner would have almost certainly led to your dismissal anywhere I ever worked. This anecdote just re-enforces the need for Forward Secure Sealing.
This reminds me of something that appeared on hacker news a couple days ago:

Basically, the proxy objective is "getting into YC" -- the real objective is producing value of course.

We've started optimizing for the proxy. Which produces outcomes like this, where YC is a Thing You Do, after Graduating From Stanford, and before Becoming a YC Alum.
Yea, OP's point is that it's not about deserving it, it's that there's always someone who thinks anything available for free means that they can just take the whole lot for themselves, and/or profit from it.

I remember the last company I worked for that tried the whole "Free food if you stay a little late" thing. They'd buy a few boxes of pizzas and set them out int he break room with the expectation that you'd take a slice or two. Well, of course, eventually one or two people started taking entire boxes home for themselves and then that "perk" inevitably ended.

I'm not optimistic about mutual disarmament in my lifetime, but that's because there's perpetual unstable geopolitics.

I'm just saying the safest path away from MAD is mutual disarmament, not weakening the current precommitments to it.

This is how I get it to do correct date calculations. Don't tell me what date next Monday is, write Python code using datetime to calculate next Monday and I'll run it in a sandbox. Works super well.
If you take out London the UK GPD per capita has fallen below every single state in the US, so the doomsayers might not be entirely wrong, just inaccurate with their timeline.

Fair. Maybe this is good evidence of my naturally pessimistic disposition. I was quite active with the initial replies and didn't feel like it was giving any credit to a framework.
I think "Janet" - the computer-person from The Good Place (especially after her reset) is what we are more likely to end up with.
I don’t believe in single payment apps, developers miscalculate and ask for a single payment and they collect some money once and they have to support it for years to come. They later abandon the app or fix it but fixing is’n nice, I’m still bitter with the Halide developer because I purchased the app only for it to become a subscription app. Now I don’t get the new features and tell people to watch out for their new Kino app. I feel deceived.

I don’t see how I can be “booked” for years unless I make at least a few 100K’s from this. I don’t actually expect to have more than a few 100 paying users, this is a niche app.

I probably should have been charging at least 9.99$/month to make any financial sense based on my low expectations but since this is a subscription app at least I can discontinue the app without screwing up people if I have to abandon it.
>Hallucinations are less of an issue because you can just dump all the source data in, whole codebases can go in for stuff ranging from a refactor to ‘write documentation of the API’.

Is there no risk ? I mean say for testing purposes we give the AI a giant CSV file and ask it to make it a json is the chance for error 0% ? Because today we need to double check when we ask AI to transform some data or transform some code, there is the risk of it messing something up but if it is not something that would crash immediately you risk introducing a ton of new bugs by asking an AI to refactor instead of using some good tools.
I'm (still) working on my surf forecasting website / PWA [0].

I spent the past few months refactoring most of the site:

* Find a smarter logic to recommend when to go surfing, based on how the combination of swell and wind indicators are.
* Add support for other locations (currently: only Fuerteventura, Canary Islands is there) - this means refactoring the way how forecast data is managed.
* UX & UI: enhance the information hierarchy, menus, create a new visual identity.

Finally soon to be released.

> As soon as it works, no one calls it AI anymore.

So, what are good examples of some things that we used to call AI, which we don't call AI anymore because they work? All the examples that come to my mind (recommendation engines, etc.) do not have any real societal benefits.
People care about being able to consume information in ways that works for them.

I don't have time to read white papers (nor am I very good at it), but want to know what they consist of. I also want to take my dog for a walk which is hard to do while staring at a screen. This, and other tools like it are useful in achieving that.
Augmenting the Client with Alpine.js
YC's original appeal was for builders/creators who were truly passionate about building a great product that solved a real problem. Dropbox for example at the time.

In my opinion, effectiveness of anything dilutes over time especially as you increase volume. There is no way you can maintain the same level of vetting and quality when you have a batch of 50 vs batch of 500+ which is now where YC is. So they must have to pivot to a different model of vetting companies.

I am curious as to why they continue to do more batches instead of less. Is it really a numbers game now ?

For example, what was the last truly great product out of YC built by a true hacker/team ?

> And you're assuming political backroom antics. Neither assumption is borne out in any way beyond the fact you seem to think China is inherently scary because it's China.

I’m not assuming anything. You’re the one claiming that this factoid means something. The onus is entirely on you. A good way to demonstrate this would be something that shows China is systematically less corrupt.

Russia also has arrested individuals for corruption. is that supposed to be evidence that Russia is less corruption friendly than the US?
Yeah YouTube has unlocked a lot of niche knowledge that in that era was on like page 27 of a pinned thread in a specific web forum.

That’s quite a takedown. In particular the existence of an apparently better run attempt to duplicate the result, which returned not much, seems like quite a nail to put in that coffin.
I kind of also do this, for some queries, and I found it to be a very interesting concept, even from a philosophical pov.

It's some sort of Chain-of-thought constraint on a different layer of abstraction. Does this come with its own advantages?

(And no, AGI is not here either).
I believe pip-chill still operates on packaged installed into the environment. This project seems to derive from the code itself, even if no packages are installed in the current environment.
About having other problems, I think you are right. However, often it is the frontend engineers pushing for using more frontend frameworks on the server side as well, and then implementing business logic there, not merely presentation, using arguments like "then we can have a mono repo for all the things and have type checks for frontend and backend" or "all in on language!" and suddenly you got into that situation.
I never said they created it. I said they have made substantial oss contributions.

And does it really matter? If an OSS project is forked, soars to new heights, and sees use in millions of devices all over the world is that a bad thing? Or would you prefer it remain a quiet little sleepy project for 3 devs to bikeshed on.

New study casts doubt on loneliness as a cause of many diseases
This sounds like an episode of "Shark Tank" - If you have $1 mil in orders which will generate a profit of 500k they will fight each other to invest 100k for 40% of your company. If you dont have a full order book and a production pipeline - no bueno.

I can only assume your product didnt fit into the current hype investment bucket (you should have put Ai in the pitch and you would have been funded). LPs in the VC funds want their Blockchain Ai and whatever hype they hear about exposure - the VCs have to deliver it and have it in their portfolio. The investment hype cycle is self reinfocing; as the investment headlines get bigger and the hype gets bigger.
While that article is very interesting, I'm not sure its main argument is actually correct, at least not in the wide, general way it is made.

For example, the article says that if Churchill had not been thrown out of power at the end of WW II, his history of that war would never have been written. I'm not sure that's actually true--Churchill had done plenty of writing before that and probably would have found time to write such a history later on anyway. But even if it's true, it doesn't mean that we would be without any history of WW II if Churchill had remained in power. There are plenty of other histories of that war, including ones which take very different viewpoints from Churchill's.

But even leaving that aside: yes, Churchill "lost" in the sense that his party lost the election in 1945. But that does not make Churchill a loser in WW II itself, nor does it make his history of that war a history written by a loser. Indeed, his history of WW II, as far as I can tell, says nothing about his loss of the Prime Ministership or the party that defeated him. It talks about his own leadership during the war, which, at least as far as keeping Britain from being conquered and reclaiming Western Europe was concerned, was a victory, not a loss.

The example of Thucydides also isn't as simple as the article makes it out to be. Yes, Thucydides was originally an Athenian and fought on the Athenian side, i.e., the side that would eventually lose, in the Peloponnesian War. But Thucydides was exiled from Athens long before that war ended and Athens fell from power--and where did he settle? In the Peloponnese, i.e., in the domain of Sparta. In other words, he wasn't writing his history of the war as a losing Athenian. Sure, his portrayal of people he personally interacted with, particularly people he lost battles to, is going to reflect his own interests, but that's not the same as the entire history being a history written by a loser.

Even the article's main example, Sima Qian, isn't that simple. The article makes it seem like Sima Qian's history was mainly about the emperor who had him castrated. But his history actually covered more than two thousand years. Whatever is in it regarding that one emperor is only a small part of the whole. (And it's arguable that Sima Qian didn't even end up as a loser in the Chinese court of his own time; after being released from prison he had a highly paid job as a palace eunuch.)
Yes but other countries (off the top of my head: UK, Aus, India) use gov.[ccTLD]

My point was that that's confusing with gov.ca if the US is using ca.gov and gov.ca.gov for California, and that perhaps that's why Canada does not do that.
In isolation, probably not.

But it's likely to be an important component in an AGI system. I suppose the interesting question is how to integrate LLMs with more traditional logic and planning systems.
Your appeal is staunch but your own quotes from the paper fail to give a convincing argument for the jump to quantum physics.

I don’t know if this is how pipreqs works, but I’d be concerned about a typo in an import that inadvertently installs a library.

I’ve found pip-tools [1] to be a nice middle ground between `pip freeze` and something heavier like poetry. It’s especially helpful in showing you where a library came from, when a library installs other libraries it depends upon.

One could still have a typo in their requirements.in file with pip-tools, but changes there are much less frequent than imports in any Python file in your proejcf which could be a daily occurrence in some codebases.

While I'm all for open models; why can't the small models not be used effectively?

Wouldn't they lower the costs compared to big models drastically?
This is why no professional organization should conduct themselves on X (or Twitter), period. Open Source software can say stupid shit and still get used because it's actually superior to paid alternatives (eg. MPV). Godot is lucky - if they were a real business, they might have to worry about offending people on the internet.

The car wasn't a horse that was better, but a car has not changed drastically since they went mainstream.

They've gotten better, more efficient, loaded with tech, but are still roughly 4 seats, 4 doors, 4 wheels, driven by petroleum.

I know that this is a massive oversimplification, but I think we have seen the "shape" of LLMs\Gen AI\AI products already and it's all incremental improvements from here on out with more specialization.

We are going to have SUVs, sports cars, and single seater cars, not flying cars. AI will be made more fit for purpose for more people to use, but isn't going to replace people outright in their jobs.
I moderately trust them not to egregiously lie, but what about every AI startup that's just a thin layer around an OpenAI API- what are their privacy policies, has it changed in the last 12 hours, and what happens when they go bust and sell their assets off?

JFC how many times do you need to be told that what you’re claiming didn’t happen. You’ve been caught multiple times just straight up making up entire story lines that exist only in your head rather than just admitting that you had some bad information.

This is possibly one way to solve it, but I think there is a simpler way, following causal chains and the laws of thermodynamics.

We clearly have systems that can absorb energy for later use - creating a natural "pause" in the causal chain. Each of these pauses create a possible future that is not yet realized. The longer this energy is held, the larger this possibility space becomes.

Free will becomes that ability to hold the pause with intention, and then select from the different possible futures that have been created.

Determinism does not interfere with this in any way. The causal chains all follow the basic deterministic laws of physics. There is space for choice created by holding energy instead of immediately dissipating it.

No quantum mechanics required at all.

It's a lot like how whenever Apple adds a new feature to one of their operating systems, for Apple and its most dedicated fans, that feature is Apple's invention.

Much like macOS' very official and increasingly nominal affiliation with Unix, Apple's involvement with open-source of more interest to people who see that as a feather in Apple's cap than to people who see open-source as a first-order value of their own. Apple has little concern for either user freedom à la the free software movement or for the collaborative modes of development touted as the primary benefits of open-source by the open-source movement, and this shows in their historical and present actions. For people who give a shit about the goals, practices, and principles of open-source or free software, the creation of WebKit is remembered and remembered as a fiasco.

People who Apple fans first don't know or care about things like 'upstream-first' development, what characterizes a good citizen vs. a bad one in the open-source world, or likely even that companies other than Apple are also criticized by the F/OSS community for engaging in similar behaviors (e.g., the scandal provoked by Canonical's release of Mir after it was developed for a prolonged period in secret).
So the upshot of the study is that space is as much of a resource as food. Once the population hit the maximum density it stops growing. If the rats wanted to increase their population they needed to build more housing, and build it vertically since they were literally boxed in. Is this relevant to humans? Probably, but not to the apocalyptic degree that people seem to be reading it as.
One can start non-distruptively with uv by only using it as a pipx replacement at first ( uv tool). Nice and fast.
There are plenty of first-hand testimonies of slaves available. For example Frederick Douglas:

> The wife of Mr. Giles Hicks, living but a short distance from where I used to live, murdered my wife's cousin, a young girl between fifteen and sixteen years of age, mangling her person in the most horrible manner, breaking her nose and breastbone with a stick, so that the poor girl expired in a few hours afterward.
Most of us are old enough to have seen too many devs abandon iOS and Android for being head-up-ass terrible solutions.

I don't know what solution you're promoting because Free Software still works. The professional for-profit software industry is in the toilet right now - Open Source is destroying it in a certain for-profit purview.

Nah, I never said you can't call out racism or racial bias. But notice that the first paragraph of what you've written is suitably mealy-mouthed to satisfy the guidelines. You're not directly calling a person racist, but you're saying that a certain behavior has racist over/undertones. This is an approach to the conversation, a very important conversation for us to have as a society which I'm hoping you'll continue holding space for, which props the door open for a curious conversation. No guarantees anybody will meet you with curiosity, but that's more to the second point.

> fundamentally means saying "these attitudes and comments are acceptable and reasonable".

Nah. It doesn't mean that. It means saying that I as a human need to pick my battles, and when I do pick a battle, not waste that energy and opportunity trying approaches that are known to not work.
When people say, "The Deep State", what they really mean is, "unelected lifelong government employees who can create regulations that have the force of law".

And that is a problem. Congress makes laws, not government agencies like the FDA, EPA, USDA, etc.

We've seen a near-total abdication of responsibility from Congress on highly charged matters that'll piss off someone, somewhere in their constituency, because they'd rather allow the President to make an Executive Order, or a bureaucrat somewhere to create a rule or regulation that will have the same effect.

It's disgusting, shameful, and the American people need to do better, frankly. We need to demand Congress do their jobs.

So many of our problems can be solved if these people weren't concerned about being re-elected. Elected positions are supposed to be something you take time out of your life to do for a number of years, then you go back to your livelihood - not something you do for the entirety of your life.
It would be good to tell us, why you doubt the GP in that regard.
