Let’s say we want to use 6-grams and build an embedding vector for the word “because”: we add integer vectors for “becaus” and “ecause”, right? For example: [1,2,3,4,5,6] + [2,3,4,5,6,2] = [3,5,7,9,11,8]. Obviously we cannot use this resulting numerical vector to spell the input word. Pretty much all character level info is lost.
They're not smuggling the cores for usage. They're smuggling to reverse engineer, and the Chinese are much better (even if more willing) at it than Americans. You are also discounting that China has driven a new century of human prosperity for their country and globally through highly efficient manufacturing that has proven tough to replicate.

In the case of a Logger, though, it is likely passed around by reference or pointer. So users of the Logger (reference/pointer) do not have to change if its definition changes to that of an interface.

The "Server" class, or whatever instantiates the Logger, will have to change, but that might not be such a big deal.

So yes, the author was wrong about not having to modify any code, but likely you won't have to modify most code.

Actually I was wrong about where the error was here, encode_rle actually works like it should the shift isn't the problem there. It actually blew up later in a different place. The second one is just a bizarre way to write that but sure, it counts the first N repeats in the input slice.. There's plenty of bizarre stuff in here[1], but mostly the general shape of the idea is directionally correct. A couple notably questionable things, though, like the assumption that RLE is always the way to go if the run length is greater than 8, perplexing style choices, etc.

It was a little more nuance than that. Oracle was hoping SCOTUS would rule that API Structure, sequence and organization are copyrightable - the court sidestepped that question altogether by ruling that if APIs are copyrightable[1], the case fell under fair use. So the pre-existing case law holds (broadly, it's still fine to re-implement APIs - like s3 - for compatibility since SCOTUS chose not to weigh in on it in Google v. Oracle).

1. Breyer's majority statement presupposes API's are copyrightable, without declaring it or offering any kind of test on whats acceptable.

You’re probably right but I’m far more interested in seeing things like how you prompted the model to produce your audio tool’s code. Did you have a design doc or did you collaborate with the model to come up with a design and its implementation ad-hoc? How much manual rewriting did you do. How much worked with little to no editing? How much did you prompt the model to fix any bugs it created? How successful was it? Did you specify a style guide up front or just use what it spat out and try to refactor later? How did that part go? You see where I’m going?

Oh, wow, it honestly just occurred to me that examples of how to prompt a model to produce a certain kind of content might be considered, more or less, some kind of trade secret vaguely akin to a secret recipe. That would be a bit depressing but I get it.

This isn’t just an issue for cloud providers. It’s also not easy to find collocation space either.

My best guess is that it is a combination lower demand (vs rest of world), and infrastructure availability (connectivity + power).

I can imagine a bunch of secondary factors too, but this to me sounds like the key broad reasons.
Indeed, the constant goal shifting is tiresome.

I mean, we first put up a ladder and we could reach the peaches! Next, we put a ladder next to the apple tree and we could pluck those. Now, in their incessant goal post moving people said, great, now setup a ladder to the moon. There is no reason to assume this won’t work. None at all. People are just complaining and being angry at losing their fancy jobs.

More specific: it cannot learn, because it has no concept of learning from first principles. There is no way out, not even a theoretical one.

The Upside to Uncertainty on Taiwan

I'm sort of playing around with something like this in go for fun.
Maybe outsourced?
The threat that leaves something to chance - nice phrase! :)

Reading this it’s my reflection that the sense of possibly false urgency is a Sinosphere gambit to pressure the United States at a time when China feels increasingly confident (and desperate) to prosecute its interests. My advice: avoid the trap, don’t play into the hands of Taiwan or China on this issue. A US “decision” would definitely be exploited by the Chinese and Taiwanese for their own ends. The issue is “ostensibly” all about Taiwan and China? So, let it be: don’t get sucked in.

Consider the scenario where China becomes the world’s number 1 superpower: Taiwan is not going to lose sleep over distance to the West and would certainly benefit by China’s achievement. That is the ultimate goal here: the West should avoid getting sucked in or allowing itself to be manipulated by having its own values and ideals used against it to enmesh in a conflict that is not in its interest. The Taiwanese and Chinese “hate each other”? Okay, so let them figure it out. Nothing to do with us. West should avoid “by slow degrees” getting drawn in.

We can make our own chips, and eat the difference in the short term. A primary strategic concern is too much leverage is flowing toward the China/Taiwan nexus. West should step away to avoid having its weakened position used against it, as is surely the ultimate Sinosphere intention, in its quest for revitalization of the Chinese nation, and the requirement of global power and influence that entails.

> "Experts say it cannot be done; amateurs accomplish it every day."

I love this because I seem to encounter situations like that every day. Who came up with this saying?

Recent example: This guy asked a very simple question about something that's commonly done in industry (wiring two power supplies in parallel and balancing the current between them): https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/1g84zd7/usi...

Literally 95% of the replies in that thread are irrelevant bullshit from "experts" that have no idea how redundant server PSUs work. I replied to some under the same username. Meanwhile another guy successfully wired two 100W USB-C ports in parallel to power an entire PC. He had no idea that the resistance of his crappy wires kept the two smps control loops stable and divided the current evenly between the two ports ensuring that neither one trips OCP: https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/1g8pser/let_m...
Depends on your definition of "there". Going from 8MB to 32MB did very little for you pre Windows95. Every piece of x86 software up to that point was maxing below 8MB because ram was insanely expensive and you needed to populate 4 modules at a time. Motherboards came standard with 4 or 8 ram slots limiting your ram choices to 1,2,4,5,8,16,17,20,32 MB with last 4 costing more than motherboard and CPU combined.

In 1992 standard desktop was still 386 + 4MB, with highend 486 + 8MB. 1MB SIMM was $30-50. 4MB $150 January 1992, dropping to $100 in December 1992, and back to $130 in December 1994.

Afaik 72 pin simms were first introduced in 1989 IBM PS/2 (55SX? proprietary variant) and later around 1993 in clones. You could run 1,2,3 or 4 simms of any size independently. In December 1994 2MB 72pin Simm was $80, 4MB $150, 8MB $300, 16MB $560. 32MB $1200, 64MB $2800.

486DX2-66 itself was ~$300, + $100 VLB motherboard meanwhile $1100 got you Pentium 90MHz with PCI motherboard. In December 1994 for the price of 486 with 32MB ram ($1600) you could have bought P90 with 16MB ($1660).

That could happen even for a byod phone? Wow.

I would definitely not give that up. If I did have to turn it in I'd wipe it first.

But I thought this couldn't happen because our phone apps are all cloud stored anyway so they can get to everything there. On my byod phone I'm not even able to download anything locally.

Ps: I'm not in the US but in Europe and we have pretty strong privacy protections so I couldn't imagine this would be a thing.

But even for legal holds in the US (which is incredibly much more litigious anyway) our company just freezes cloud assets afaik.
That's not Qualcomm's position in court. Do you have any legitimate source for that statement?

Also, the foundation of Qualcomm's "Oryon" is clearly Nuvia's "Phoenix" core, which is based on Arm’s v8.7-A ISA.

After Acquisition, Qualcomm formed a team to redesign Phoenix for use in consumer-products instead of servers, creating Oryon.

That's the issue they have. Qualcomm was/is confident to resolve this IP issue of the technical QCT-division via their licensing strong-arm QTL, forcing ARM into accepting Qualcomm's view.

However, they possibly overstepped a bit, as they also expect that they don't need to license newer CPU-designs from ARM because (like Apple) they built a custom design under their architecture license.

But in reality the core design of Oryon was in parts built under the license agreement of Nuvia, which has explicit limitations in transferability (only Nuvia as-is) and usage (only servers).

In court, Qualcomm doesn't even dispute that, they argue that this contract should not be enforced and hope that the court agrees.
I chuckled, but that is actually an interesting ( and very doable ) fun project idea.

Would this also be able to detect something like a camera that saves videos to an SD card to be retrieved later? Something that doesn't use WiFi or a radio?

> But art is mostly about surfacing the inner world, and only in part about skill.

I always thought that art is all about emotions, both preserving and creating them. That’s why I find a banana on the wall art, popular music is still art.

(Might be school influence but I also tend to ask myself „why”)

This invention is definitely work of art, but its output - in my eyes - not. It’s like a cloud. It can make different shapes, and some are funny, some might remind me of my close ones, but it’s still averaged randomness.

However the idea to reflect reality to this digital randomness I find without doubt - art. And, well: while not visual or audible, there is software, hardware, code and design which are also art (and difficult to make so counterpoint to thesis in first paragraph ;)).

it really depends on how much you've embraced the tech.

say, my parents own phones but don't do much on them except navigation, photos, messaging, and web browsing. if you're not into Uber, Doordash, mobile banking, and so on, then you're not really giving up much by switching to the alternatives.

generally, it's harder to _remove_ something from your life than it is to forego _adding_ it. if you're content with the functionality of your tech as it exists today, then a feasible route to de-apple/de-google really is to just not start doing too much _new_ with it, and within some number of years you'll find the alternatives have developed to the point where you can switch to them without going backward.

Nothing in the Affordable Care Act of 2010 grants the President (or any part of the executive branch) the statutory authority to implement reference pricing or otherwise set a limit on the prices of prescription drugs purchased under Medicare Part D. Your citation of 42 U.S.C. § 1315a is irrelevant and concerned with entirely separate programs. For something more relevant see 42 U.S.C. § 1320f as well as the current CMS guidance. The law requires a defined drug selection and negotiation process which can't be overridden by executive order.

> The fears are legitimate.

They're really not.

First of all, no data is really lost with Git. Commits can be recovered from the reflog if they haven't been garbage collected, and there are ways of recovering anything on GitHub as well[1], even if it technically shouldn't be the case.

But this aside, data loss is circumstantial, like you say. I've heard the idea that force-pushing in general is harmful, when it's really not if you're working solo or on an isolated branch. Rebasing and force-pushing are just different tools in the toolbox.

In general, my objection is to the practice of describing any software as "dangerous". It creates an air of intimidation that prevents people from using the tools to their full extent, which when spread can popularize wrong practices among new users as well. This is why you see the person in the article claiming that they've always been a "merger", having a false dilemma between merging and rebasing, and describing their solution as "fearless". This line of thinking is also commonly associated with the command line and Linux itself, and is just harmful.

Instead, users should be educated on what the software does, which does require having comprehensive UIs and documentation, and designing the software with sane defaults, fail-safes, and ways to undo any action. Git doesn't do a great job at all of these, but overall it's not so bad either. What really hurts users is spreading the wrong kind of ideas, though.

Guns simply make suicide easy. You’d be surprised how much grit/nerve it takes to jump off a bridge or building, it is definitely much harder than pulling a trigger. Stabbing yourself to death also takes a lot of grit/nerve. Guns are pretty easy and harder to screw up.

But you have countries like Korea with a high suicide rate and low access to firearms, so it’s obviously possible to have suicide without guns. But we don’t know if the problem would be much worse if South Koreans had easier access to firearms, or if the American problem is amplified by easy firearm access.
My experience with Walgreens is that the stores are woefully understaffed, the product selection is poor, and what product they do have is ridiculously overpriced. As for the pharmacy part of the store, the staff are constantly overwhelmed, and you're guaranteed to stand around waiting for help even when you're the only person in the store.

I've seen this scenario repeated over and over again at several of my local Walgreens stores. I'm not surprised they're in financial difficulty.

Ah thankyou for clarifying. Yes, I agree with this. Maybe, its like a B+ student confidently teaching the world what it knows.

The news has an equivalent: The Gell-Mann amnesia effect, where people read a newspaper article on a topic they're an expert on and realise the journalists are idiots. Then suddenly forget they're idiots when they read the next article outside their expertise!

So yes, I agree that its important to bear in mind that chatgpt will sometimes be confidently wrong.

But I counter with: usually, remarkably, it doesn't matter. The crepe recipe it gave produced delicious crepes. If it was a bad recipe I would have figured that out with my mouth pretty quickly. I asked it to brainstorm weird quirks for D&D characters to have, some of the ideas it came up with were fabulous. For a question like that, there isn't really such a thing as right and wrong anyway. I was writing rust code, and it clearly doesn't really understand borrowing. Some code it gives just doesn't compile.

I'll let you in on a secret: I couldn't remember the name of the gell-mann amnesia effect when I went to write this comment. A few minutes ago I asked chatgpt what it was called. But I googled it after chatgpt told me what it was called to make sure it got it right so I wouldn't look like an idiot.

I claim most questions I have in life are like that.

But there are certainly times when (1) its difficult to know if an answer is correct or not and (2) believing an incorrect answer has large, negative consequences. For example, Computer security. Building rocket ships. Research papers. Civil engineering. Law. Medicine. I really hope people aren't taking chatgpt's answers in those fields too seriously.

But for almost everything else, it simply doesn't matter that chatgpt is occasionally confidently wrong.

For example, if I ask it to write an email for me, I can proofread the email before sending it. The other day asked it for scene suggestions in improv, and the suggestions were cheesy and bad. So I asked it again for better ones (less chessy this time). I ask for CSS and the CSS doesn't quite work? I complain at it and it tries again. And so on. This is what chatgpt is good for today. It is insanely useful.
