If the problem is cheap generation, you could do a lot worse than solar. My understanding is that storage and transmission is a huge obstacle too.
Corporate personhood, a legal fiction, is not relevant here.

The First Amendment in plain words protects the free speech rights of corporations, by referring to "the press". I have no opinion on what Amazon is doing, but they have a right to object to things on First Amendment grounds.

Edit: having read the blurb, there's a solid case to be made that captive-audience meetings are an illegal speech act, the same way that you aren't allowed to corner someone in an alley and say "give me your wallet".

Having First Amendment rights, which corporations do, does not give them license to violate the law through acts of free speech. It isn't the speaking which is proscribed in those cases, but the illegal act conveyed through speech.

Sounds a little like crypto although there are actual use cases for AI. Just not as many as investors think.
The Past, Present, and Future of Office Work
No. Both Qualcomm and Nuvia had an ALA = "Architecture License Agreement". Qualcomm had also licensed many ARM-designed cores separately.

An ALA signed with ARM gives the right to design CPU cores that are conformant to the Arm Architecture specification. When the CPU cores that are designed thus are sold, a royalty must be paid to ARM.

The royalties negotiated by Nuvia were much higher than those negotiated by Qualcomm, presumably based on the fact that Qualcomm sells a huge number of CPU cores, while Nuvia was expected to sell few, if any.

When Qualcomm has bought Nuvia, ARM has requested that Qualcomm shall pay the royalties specified by the Nuvia ALA, for any CPU cores that are derived in any way from work done at Nuvia. Qualcomm has refused, claiming that they should pay the smaller royalties specified by the Qualcomm ALA.

Then ARM has cancelled the Nuvia ALA, so they claim that any cores designed by Qualcomm that are derived from work done at Nuvia are unlicensed, so Qualcomm must stop any such design work, destroy all design data and obviously stop selling any products containing such CPU cores.

The trial date is in December and ARM has given an advance notice that they will also cancel the Qualcomm ALA some time shortly after the trial. So this will have no effect for now, it is just a means to put more pressure on Qualcomm, so they might accept a settlement before the trial.

Qualcomm buying Nuvia should increase the revenue for ARM from the work done at Nuvia, because Qualcomm will sell far more CPU cores than Nuvia, so even with smaller royalties the revenue for ARM will be greater.

Therefore the reason why ARM does not accept this deal is because in parallel their revenue from the ARM-designed cores licensed to Qualcomm would drop soon to zero. Qualcomm has announced that they will replace the ARM-designed cores in all their products, from smartphones and laptops to automotive CPUs.
The only AI thing that excites me on my phone is a battery-friendly way for app developers to run ML models. I don't want an AI assistant that sees everything that i do, but some things like computer vision and translation and OCR are handy to have a super efficient coprocessor for, and I could see interesting apps using ML increasingly. But that's kind of a second order thing. I'm sure apple and them are also trying to figure out how to also let app devs use their strongest foundation models too without every app wanting to download 100GB of weights.
> On a per-serving basis, foods like spinach contain far, far more iron than beef [0]

And how many servings of each dies the average person eat? Based only on my personal observations, I could believe that people eat enough red meat to far overcompensate for the differences per-serving.
It exists at MUCH SMALLER amounts. Their conclusion drawing should be based on an amount should it not? Lead from shooting my gun is not going to damage me the same as eating a bunch of handfulls of pure lead because of the AMOUNT that my body will end up processing.

Yep, rubbers are generally the class of elastomers.

Natural rubber is poly-cis-isoprene, synthetic rubbers are a mix of petroleum-derived polymers.
The C++ committee and standard library folks are in a hard spot.

They have two goals:

1. Make primitives in the language as safe as they can.

2. Be as fast as corresponding completely unsafe C code.

These goals are obviously in opposition. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can improve safety completely at compile time and after the safety is proven, the compiler eliminates everything with no overhead. But often you can't. And when you can't, C++ folks tend to prioritize 2 over 1.

You could definitely argue that that's the wrong choice. At the same time, that choice is arguably the soul of C++. Making a different choice there would fundamentally change the identity of the language.

But I suspect that the larger issue here is cultural. Every organization has some foundational experiences that help define the group's identity and culture. For C++, the fact that the language was able to succeed at all instead of withering away like so many other C competitors did is because it ruthlessly prioritized performance and C compatibility over all other factors.

Back in the early days of C++, C programmers wouldn't sacrifice an ounce of performance to get onto a "better" language. Their identity as close-to-the-metal programmers was based in part on being able to squeeze more out of a CPU than anyone else could. And, certainly, at the time, that really was valuable when computers were three orders of magnitude slower than they are today.

That culture still pervades C++ where everyone is afraid of a performance death of a thousand cuts.

So the language has sort of wedged itself into an untenable space where it refuses to be any slower than completely guardrail-less machine code, but where it's also trying to be safer.

I suspect that long-term, it's an evolutionary dead end. Given the state of hardware (fast) and computer security failures (catastrophically harmful), it's worth paying some amount of runtime cost for safer languages. If you need to pay an extra buck or two for a slightly faster chip, but you don't leak national security secrets and go to jail, or leak personal health information and get sued for millions... buy the damn chip.

That's really cool. We're on a similar path with https://api-fiddle.com

We're trying to build the best tool out there for team that want to build api-first and speed up development and code generation this way.

I'm happy you wrote this article!

Here are a few questions for you:
- Do you think the mock API is the best way to get Feedback from stakeholders?
- How do you merge your changed OpenAPI document into your master documentation when it's time for prod?
- How do you share your draft contract with e.g. a frontend engineer so they can get started building the UI?
On box mods(the big vapes you might recall starting to see 10-15 years ago) there is a chamber up top you have to manually fill with nicotine. This can be a bit annoying to do but the real problem is remembering to bring liquid to refill with.

That’s really the only negative to the large box mods, other than having to recharge 18650 batteries all the time. But disposables are usually much smaller(easier to hide if you’re in school), use nicotine salts(which are much more potent) and they usually last a long time - sometimes 20k hits. So these aren’t “bad” products, they have a lot of selling points.
Also means you're not having to do a bunch of isolation work to make the server-side execution environment safe.
Even without considering all of the contentious topics, the infinite scroll of the home feed trains people to triage posts faster and faster, because there's always more content, and who knows what you've missed?

I'm really starting to see the value of legitimate boredom
I’ve received this /exact/ same unhelpful response multiple times in other threads (from different users even; am I talking to deterministic bots here) so I’ll do the same by offering the response I gave others:

“Since I’m dealing with models rather than other engineers should I expect the process of breaking down the problem to be dramatically different from that of writing design documents or API specs? I rarely have difficulty prompting (or creating useful system prompts for) models when chatting or doing RAG work with plain English docs but once I try to get coherent code from a model things fall apart pretty quickly.”

Said another way, I long ago learned as an engineer how to do the things you’re suggesting (they are skills I’ve used and evolved over more than twenty years as a professional software engineer) but, in my experience, those same skills do not seem to apply when trying to do non-trivial code-generation tasks for Java/Scala/Python projects with an LLM.

I’ve tried prompting ’em with my design documentation and API specs. I’ve tried prompting ’em with a pared-down version of my docs/specs in order to be more succinct. I’ve tried expanding my docs/specs to be more concrete and detailed. I’ve tried very short prompts. I’ve tried very detailed and lengthy prompts. I’ve tried tweaking system prompts. I’ve tried starting with prompts that limit the scope of the project then expanding from there. I’ve tried uploading the docs/specs so that the models can reference them later. I’ve tried giving ‘em access to entire repositories. I’ve tried so many things all to no avail. The best solution I’ve thus far found in these threads is to just try to fit the entirety of a project within the limits of the context window and/or to just keep my whole project in a few short files; that may be sufficient for small projects but it’s not possible nor even reasonable given the size and complexity of projects with which I work.

As I’ve said elsewhere, I dearly /want/ these things to work in my environment and for my use-cases as capably as they do in/for yours—this stuff is really interesting and I enjoy learning how to do new things—but after reading all the comments in this thread and others I don’t think the needs of my environment are supported by these models. Maybe they will be someday. I’ll keep playing with things but as of right now I see a significant impedance mismatch between the confidence others have in the models’ ability to do complex coding tasks compared to the kinds of tasks I’ve seen demonstrated here and elsewhere.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians didn't get up one day and move fifteen miles down the road because they all felt like going on a picnic at the same time.

Interestingly, the term "ethnic cleansing" wasn't coined until the 1990s. The 20th century push for ethnic self determination came with an understanding that people would have to be moved to form concentrated and contiguous populations that could self determine. Millions of people were forced to move in the 1940s to establish India, Pakistan, and a more Slavic Soviet Union.
Interesting. The article mentions "spicy discussions" in the kernel mailing list. Is there any insider who can summarize objections and concerns? I tend to avoid reading the mailing list itself since it can get too spicy, and my headaches are already strong enough!

The mechanism itself seems reasonable, but I am surprised that something like this doesn't already exist in the kernel.
Do you have a citation for that? Most people would not consider a 3+ inch blade a pocket knife and even then it’s not illegal if you have a good reason:

For every time I see a criticism like Recht's (and Hossfelder's), I ask "could this theoretical scientist go into the lab and conduct a real experiment". I mean, find some challenging experiment that requires setting up a complex interferometer (or spectroscope, or molecular biology cloning), collect data, analyze it, and replicate an existing well-known theory?

Even though I'm a theoretical physicist I've gone into the lab and spent the time to learn how to conduct experiments and what I've learned is that a lot of theoretical wrangling is not relevant to actually getting a useful result that you can be confident in.

Looking at Recht's publication history, it looks like few of his papers ever do real-world experiments; mostly, they use simulations to "verify" the results. It may very well be that his gaps in experimental physics lead him to his conclusion.
Disposable vapes aren't legal in the US but they are available everywhere
High iron intake also seems to be implicated in cardiovascular disease, and may be one of the reasons it is more prevalent in men, as women lose iron during menstruation, whereas men tend to accumulate it over time. Donating blood may be a good way to deal with this.

It seems unreasonable to pin this concern on red meat in particular- especially since so many people also take iron supplements and eat iron fortified processed foods.

Instead I think it makes sense to look at your bloodwork- and then adjust iron intake and or donate blood regularly. I’d bet you can still eat a steak many times per week and have an overall fairly low, or even too low iron intake. It takes about a full pound of steak every day just to meet the iron RDA for adult men, which is much lower than for young women.
There has to be something wrong with their testing method on the browser benchmarks. What possible reason could there be for the 285K's performance on Speedometer 3.0 to be half what you'd expect? That's not consistent with the performance on any of the other single-threaded tests, and it's not even consistent with the other browser benchmarks.
I switched to vapes for a while and genuinely my lung health was worse than smoking.

In the end it was Allen Carr’s book that got me off them, and it was surprisingly easy.

The author died in 2006 so I wouldn’t even feel too bad about pirating it, I’m quite sure he wouldn’t mind.
I’m about 9 months off social media (not including Hackernews, if you consider that SM). I have no regrets whatsoever. I’m in my late 20’s so SM came into my sphere when I was around 16. I haven’t quite “grown up with it”, but it’s been an omnipresent force for most of my teenage and adult life.

> I am better at making time to catch up with the people I really care about, be that in-person or over WhatsApp.
> When I do catch up with someone, I genuinely have no idea what’s been going on in their life and that makes the catch up a lot more enjoyable and engaging. I haven’t passively kept up to date on their every movement through Instagram stories or Tweets like some kind of ghostly stalker. The best example of this that I can give is that my partner and I got engaged to be married ~4 months ago. Nothing posted on SM, just WhatsApp messages to close friends and family. I get to keep reliving the joy of telling people and witnessing the ecstatic surprise and pure love on their faces each time I catch up with someone I haven’t seen for a while.
> I am much more aware of just how much everyone uses their phones. Take a look around you. Sitting on the bus, waiting in a queue, riding an escalator, pissing at a urinal.

Hum, almost all of my t-shirts are 100% cotton, or at least that's what the label says. I use mostly the same clothes from 15 years ago so maybe synthetic is more common nowadays? I think the only t-shirts I own that are not 100% cotton are those I've got for free on things like marathons and hackathons. Does it contain phthalate? I have no idea, there is no label saying what they are made of. Probably polyester. Does it have phthalates in any meaningful concentration? This review says basically that "it varies a lot" and "needs further study". https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S138266892...

>But that whole find me something on my mutliple gigabytes of storage on my device account definitely seems like the mass appeal

This is such a mundane use of AI, but unsurprising Apple would sell it as revolutionary.
IMO the main culprit is the over regulation of semi/non-disposable vapes/nicotine which still require more R&D to make accessible and easy to use for any consumer. This disposables are just plain better because the internals of vapes are finicky. Coils, wicking, batteries, juice, all in a very small package. it’s literally easier to just throw the entire thing away than to worry about the specifics, try to buy the separate components and replace them as they age, etc. It’s why semi-disposable pod systems like juul are also quite successful.
yes, I would. thick glass is great and cant break easily if it is smaller container. there is also stainless steel and other materials.

plastic was invented 100 years ago. people did just fine in the house without it.
The cells themselves are pretty good - pretty much only every come across Lipo's even in "non-rechargeable" disposables. mAh basically depends on the size of the vape / the puff count, but yeah I normally find them to br between 500 and 1500 mAh (give or take).
To be fair, cigarettes are worse and pipes worse still, especially 2nd hand so it kind of makes sense that everyone was happy to have vapes proliferate.

Hinton has become a household name, at least here in Canada. But only within recent years as his discoveries have now proven useful in capital creation. Nobody knew who he was in the 1980s when his discoveries were "useless".

Which stands to reason. People only think about you if you do something for them. Newton and Einstein enabled the creation of capital that changed the world, so they are remembered. The guy who discovered something amazing beside them, but that which we still haven't figured out how to use, remains unknown.

Yes, the German monitoring would point to the VPN provider, instead of directly at the user. However, they would then install a monitoring device at your VPN node.
How do they get the words out to the locals when they move place? Or from a different perspective, how does a local learn which new restaurants are truly exceptional? Do people constantly try new ones that just pop up?

I find myself living in the same town in years without finding a single restaurant that I can call "truly exceptional". They range from "I'd rather eat cup noodle", to "the food is worth the money". I don't know if I'm just unlucky, or if I lack some sort of culinary detective skill.
That's what AI is. The weights are the clever part. Cameras have done this since the Nikon FA in 1983.
How Excessive Red Meat Consumption Increases Colorectal Cancer Risk
Rechargeable vape pens are incredibly cheap, and disposables aren't noticeably more expensive overall so the cost difference is insignificant. Couple reasons for a preference (personally don't vape nicotine and I've never cared strongly about disposable vs not):

- Disposables won't die on you. Unless you're getting massive carts the battery tends to last the whole time and you never worry about charging.

- Guaranteed compatible. I've seen seemingly standard carts not work with certain pens which can be very frustrating.

- The standard 510 thread cartridge kinda sucks. I'm not sure if it's a design flaw or a lot of bad manufacturers but they tend to leak and develop blockages.
Next step they should put a minimum price on non-disposable vapes at £50-£100.
I also noticed that the flavors I'd get in disposables taste a lot more "chemical" than the ones you can find for a vape mod. I suspect that people buying them in a pinch makes them a lot less discerning about what ends up in them.

By this logic, mugging somebody at gunpoint is protected by the first and second amendment. I exercised my right to free speech and to bear arms, and then they voluntarily gave me all they had.

If a citizen claims this -- ridiculous. But if a corporation or the president did it, and with the current supreme court -- who knows.

My sense is they simply believe it actually, drawing on sources that seem organic and Western to them; the propaganda is that effective.

In any case: (1) there has never been a "civil war" in Ukraine in modern times; (2) Azov was formed in May 2014, well after Russia's invasions of both the Donbas and the Crimea were well underway; and (3) nevermind the rest.

Well the article title implies the consumption of "all" red meat is linked to cancer, while the actual study opens with stating that it's over consumption of iron-rich meat which is linked to cancer, but the actual study then never even bothers to define what they consider to be "over consumption".
