"At a high enough level of abstraction, Altman's entire job is to keep us all fixated on an imagined AI future so we don't get too caught up in the underwhelming details of the present."

Old tactic.

The project that would eventually became Microsoft Corp. was founded on it. Gates told Ed Roberts the inventor of the first personal computer that he had a programming for it. He had no such programming langugage.

Gates proceeded to espouse "vapourware" for the decades. Arguably Microsoft and its disciples are still doing so today.

Will the tactic ever stop working. Who knows.

Focus on the future that no one can predict, not the present that anyone can describe.

> But if they are assuming a typical or dirty grid, then that’s one area where the footprint can come down a significant amount.

Not sure I understand how, since regular concrete made from portland cement does require heating to cure - in fact it's exothermic.

The vast majority of the emissions from traditional concrete come from the manufacturing of portland cement. It's not clear how a renewable grid would significantly lower the emissions of producing cornstarch, since the majority of emissions happen at the agricultural stage, via the petroleum based fertilizers.
What if you made it so any group could use the app? Like Meetup?

Not really, the process gets shortcut when the benefits of moving fast are dramatic enough.

So sure we could speed things up by killing more people undergoing medical experiments. But the current approach of validating safety in humans then efficacy in humans is inherently serial. Further a lot more stuff is going into the pipeline than actually ends up working.

In modern finance the Black-Scholes formula is not used to "price" options in any meaningful sense. The price of options is given by supply and demand. Black-Scholes is used in the opposite way: traders deduce the implied volatility from the observed option prices. This volatility is a representation of the risk-neutral probability distribution that the markets puts on the underlying returns. From that distribution we can price other financial products for which prices are not directly observable.
While it wasn't known early on that it didn't spread by touch, it was known pretty early on that it spread through the air.

They were sitting ducks.

Nope. That's _almost_ a non-statement. I'll readily admit that there are many more people smarter than I am. They've done good prior work, why would I not use it? Yeah sure, let's write our own crypto code. Guaranteed recipe for disaster.

I agree the +40% effect feels a bit too good, but it only applies to the simple OLTP queries on in-memory data, so the inefficiencies may have unexpectedly large impact. I agree 30-40% would be a massive speedup, and I expected it to disappear with a more diverse profile, but it did not ...

The TPC-H speedups (~5-10%) seem much more plausible, considering the binary layout effects we sometimes observe during benchmarking.

Anyway, I'd welcome other people trying to reproduce these tests.

Honestly, some of these stories are so saddening to read - because I am certain that such scammers are looting anyone they can, regardless of their political affiliation. This article is about Truth Social, but I’ve read similar ones about Facebook, Whatsapp, and Telegram.

We can scoff at the victims’ actions despite “obvious” red flags, but with the quality of AI faking we have now, it’ll only get worse. Could be your grand/parents any day now throwing away your potential inheritance to a scammer…

A Brief History of Defragging
Keep an eye on sickle cell anemia cure then.
A friend recently had a three person team break into his three flat building during broad daylight in Chicago near ORD. It took 60+ minutes for CPD to respond. Luckily, he had the pump action shotgun I had purchased him and was home at the time. CPD took the report and left. We’ve reached out to Flock for cameras for the street.

Assault is not great, but the necessary response is a function of a low trust society. Better to be safe than experience loss to life and property.

I understand that these variables have a rich and long history, but if you have ever heard a professor or anybody else say "foo" in lecture you will understand why I detest them.

They have absolutely no connection to the matter at hand. Since foo is often used before bar, you would think there is an ordering between the two but there doesn't have to be. They are hard to pronounce and easier to confuse.

Whenever I give an example I use variable names that actually make sense and are related to the example. I'm glad that I have been fortunate to not see "foo" and "bar" anywhere in all of the code I've seen in recent memory.

That was part of the plot of person of interest. A really interesting show, it started as a basic "monster of the week" show but near the end it became a much more interesting plot.

Although most of the human characters were extremely one-dimensional. Especially Jim Caviezel's who was just a grumpy super soldier in every episode. It was kinda funny because they called him "the man in the suit" in the series and there was indeed little else to identify his character. The others were hardly better :(

But the AI storyline I found very interesting.
My only fear of doing this is that someone could call in and say "oh sorry, I just typed in a bunch of random numbers and letters" and the rep will go "haha, don't we all!" and let them reset the password.

Sometimes I wonder if buildings really should last hundreds of years taking up that space. Similar to how laws last almost forever and lead to byzantine requirements and tricky interpretations.

Would be interesting if transient infrastructure and time-limited laws would lead to a more beneficial way of living.
I think that's reasonable, plus it is a fun subject.

For a totally accessible answer this article is hard to beat IMO: https://theprepared.com/blog/booby-trap-laws/

It gets to the core issue, which is that the laws as written are pretty vague, but the jurisprudence is overwhelmingly in favor of siding against booby traps. It's illegal at the federal level, and as far as I'm aware prohibited by all states as well, either explicitly or more usually through precedent in court. The reasoning of the courts seems to be more or less identical: it's a dangerous destructive device incapable of making the sort of prudent judgement required for a use of force. In short, it's an irresponsible and indiscriminate use of force.

The actual recommendation is Core i7-14700F or Ryzen 9 5950X. At least I understand it means the expected multicore performance rather than core count.

Also, I don't think gaming-optimized CPUs are that important. As far as I know, it's a concept AMD introduced in 2022. Until then, gamers usually just bought high-end consumer CPUs, and Intel users still do. And those use core counts to differentiate the top models from lower tiers.

[EDIT: I probably shouldn't mention that]. I have some experience of getting webrtc up on new platforms, and it's not as bad as all that. libwebrtc is a remarkably solid library, especially given the domain it's in.

Nix purists would say that you should use flakes to declare all the dependencies for each project, and reference all Python dependencies as Nix packages there. Nix effectively tries to replace every package manager in existence, so all Python, Ruby, Emacs, etc. dependency trees are duplicated in Nix.

I think this is insane. Not only will many packages be missing from Nix, you will also have to wait for the upstream changes to actually propagate to Nix repositories. This all assumes, of course, that there are no packaging issues or incompatibilities in this repackaging.

This is one of the ways that Nix sometimes just gets in your way. I've been using Nix(OS) for several years now, and this still bothers me.

Instead of doing this, For Python specifically I would suggest installing pyenv, which Nix packages. Then enter a nix-shell with a derivation thingie[1,2], and install Python as usual with pyenv. Then you can use any Python version, and with pyenv-virtualenv (which Nix _doesn't_ package...), you can use venvs as you're used to. Sure, you don't get the benefits of the declarative approach and isolation as with "the Nix way", and you may run into other issues, but at least it's a workflow well known to Python devs. Hope it helps!

Since the new OpenAI voice model launched, I feel the opposite. Some of the responses me and my gf have gotten from it were fantastic. It’s really good at role play and using intonation now. And you can interrupt it halfway through a response if it’s going off track.

For example, I spent 20 minutes the other day talking through some software architecture decisions for a solo project. That was incredible. No way I would have typed out my thoughts as smoothly.
There is probably no single "Satoshi" individual, but that was their avatar "API boundary" with which to interface with the rest of the world. It was probably a scheme to financialize fintech (with an emphasis on tech) by 2-4 people who then held large amounts of the value they printed, making them covert decabillionaires able to escape press, kidnapping, pitch schemes, and taxation.
Another project to check out if you enjoy LFS is buildroot.

Buildroot uses Kconfig (and associated tools like menuconfig, config, etc.) same as the kernel, to generate a configuration for building an embedded Linux system. This configuration can be committed and patched in the repo for your project. Adding an application or library automatically pulls in dependencies. Configs can be merged with fragments that add specific features.

Buildroot is capable of building its own cross compilation tool chain for many architectures, and enables developers to choose their own libc, and other toolchain configurations. It can also be configured to pull a prebuilt toolchain tarball to save time.

Packages are written in GNU Make, and macros are available for pulling code from GitHub and building packages using autoconf, cmake, meson, golang, Rust, python, and many more.

It works fantastically for anything from building an embedded Linux distro for something like digital signage, to a self-contained network bootable application for large scale automated provisioning of devices, to building minimal tarballs of filesystems to run as containers.
MMOs have always been like that though. The forced group content is a later addition that not every game follows (eg OSRS). But that doesn't really mean anything. You're still sharing a virtual world. You see people pass you by, meet random people etc. They are still active participants, they just don't have to wait around for other people constantly (because that's what forced group content always turns into).
It doesn't solve anything because it's an individual action to a societal problem.

Judicial fines are paid using a GRU (is a type of document that you generate in the goverment IRS site, with the codes that you type in the bank and it transfers the money).

An old Ryzen CPU (2600 IIRC) and Radeon Pro VII 16GB. Got it new at a really good price.

It works ok but with a large context it can still run out of memory and also gets a lot slower. With small context it's super snappy and surprisingly good. What it is bad at are facts/knowledge but this is not something a LLM is meant to do anyway. OpenWebUI has really good search engine integration which makes it work like perplexity does. That's a better option for knowledge usecases.
Appwrite, all in one, and it shockingly just works from install to go focus on building the side projects.

Cheap/ free to self host. I have tried a bunch of the other ones and they all had things I liked but Appwrite gave me nothing to complain about other than getting on with building :)

Recently became totally enamored with Wittgenstein - one of those thinkers who's core ideas have lived, inarticulate, in my heart, since I was a child: Language has no definite meaning, we operate in a fog of connotation, real communication of meaning is impossible, there is no possible scientific description of every-day concepts like "chair"... So much to be gained from overcoming "the bewitchment of language". Brilliant thinker.

Had no idea the duck-rabbit was attributed to him! Appears attributed incorrectly, but one can see why: The drawing is neither a duck nor a rabbit, while also being both a duck _and_ a rabbit.

> if your email provider attempts to scan urls to see where they actually go you end up giving them an auth token

This is what the "change the temporary token for a "permanent" token they (the frontend) can use for authentication" part is for, as it'll require a browser to visit the page so the token can be set in the frontend after making the "switch" with the authentication backend. The tokens get invalidated when used.

Regarding abuse, there is a lot of other things around the design itself that has to be considered that I didn't mention. Rate-limits, validation, verification, operations and other things feel kind of besides the meat of the pattern. Otherwise we'll end up with very long comments :)
