If most people are unemployed, modern capitalism as we know it will collapse. I'm not sure that's in the interests of the billionaires. Perhaps some kind of a social safety net will be implemented.

But I do agree, there is no reason to be enthusiastic about any progress in AI, when the goal is simply automating people's jobs away.
>> Investing $9b into $13b of revenue sounds like a great use of government funds

No. By math alone, it is a horrible waste. It would be a good investment if those funds generated economic activity resulting 9+b in tax dollars. But this is about parks, not simply stimulating the economy. The value of parks cannot be expressed in dollars.
My perception is that for consumer hardware raw CPU power stopped mattering some 10 years ago, it seems to me what matters more these days is CPU cache size/latency as well as RAM latency. Is this really the case?

I think lately we have been seen a surge of efficiency cores because of this, turning on all that silicon to do just a little bit of computation and sitting idle is wasteful.

My impression is that this applies to a lot of server infra as well.
To add to this: one of the basic arguments about enshittification is that it happens as a result of services starting out by operating at a loss, which leads them to eventually need to shift the value proposition towards actually making the platform sustainable. Bandcamp built their service sustainably, achieving profitability back in 2012, so there is a lot less incentive to enshittify, which is borne out by the fact that the overall value prop hasn't changed in all that time.

Not for decades. Apple sold its stake in ARM when Steve Jobs came back, they needed the money to keep the company going.
The drilling and active learning part reminded me of this very nice article on Bayesian Optimization from Distill publication [0].

They explain it for selecting the hyper parameters for ML models:

> In this article, we talk about Bayesian Optimization, a suite of techniques often used to tune hyperparameters. More generally, Bayesian Optimization can be used to optimize any black-box function.

But the example at the beginning of the article is mining gold:

> Let us start with the example of gold mining. Our goal is to mine for gold in an unknown land 1 . For now, we assume that the gold is distributed about a line. We want to find the location along this line with the maximum gold while only drilling a few times (as drilling is expensive).

Depends on your level of refactor, for small things, sure, like everything its simple. But try to change the workflow or modify the architecture in a certain way, it can be a real pain. I find it's a blessing in a certain way though as it makes you plan and consider a lot more in advance when starting a project/implementation.
AlphaFold would be one example: https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/
Most of the cores branded "Kryo" have negligible differences from the original Arm cores. There might be some differences in the cache memories and in the interfaces between the cores and the rest of the Qualcomm SoC, but there are no differences in the inner CPU cores.

Snapdragon 865 has standard Arm cores. The same is true for the older Snapdragon 855, Snapdragon 845 and Snapdragon 835, which I am using or I have used in my phones.

The claim of Qualcomm that those cores have been "semi-custom", is mostly BS, because the changes made by Qualcomm to the cores licensed from Arm have been minimal.

That's according to you. Just because a few apples disagree doesn't mean there is no consensus.

I hope you're aware not only youth work on minimum wage jobs. Some of them are not going to get better jobs (and aren't on their way there), they are stuck in those jobs and you are proposing they shouldn't ever see a raise because if not those jobs will cease to exist.

I'd like to see some hard data and sources for this assumption, it's quite a big one and since you started the argument with the unrealistic view that those jobs are only stepping stones to better ones or performed by youngsters with access to their parents' home I cannot trust your argument prima facie.
I think the definition of 'new' can be extended a bit to cover insights as well, and in that case we may look at insights generated by LLMs as 'new knowedge'.
For the person receiving those insights generated by the AI, while they had the data, the extraction of information out of it resulted in, well, new knowledge.

What is "doxxing," legally?

I'm not aware of any statutes in the United States that codify or prohibit "doxxing." Europe might have something to say on this matter, but in the United States, "doxxing" is just a colloquialism: it's not a crime.

Private companies are welcome to prohibit this behavior from areas under their dominion if that's desirable, but no civil nor criminal action may be levied against someone disclosing truthful, publicly-available information.

It would help everything else, applications are not the only part of the network (and many already support socks), there are middle boxes, DHCP, NAT, firewalls, reverse proxies, LAN services and what not that don't need to be aware of new addressing scheme. Firewalls might benefit from it, but even they would still mostly work, even if with less than perfect precision. And even applications can benefit from simplification due to absence of dual mode sockets and no need for two sockets to listen on 0.0.0.0 and [::].
Just a question:
For this thingy to work, I must give the provider access to my computer?
Good luck. :)

Just another reason to use ONLY local LLM's.
1. Buttons don't "speak"

2. You don't need to understand the words to push the buttons. You could replace the English words with gibberish and it would still work as long as you always give the same thing when the same button is pressed. Many animals can do this. It is called positive reinforcement. Nothing to do with language
I guess history reasons
This is sort of the role that L3 cache plays already. Your proposal would be effectively an upgradable L4 cache. No idea if the economics on that are worth it vs bigger DRAM so you have less pressure on the nvme disk.
Somtime ago, there was a debate on the ability of a static type system to model an 'open-world situation' where fields are added to records as model changes. (based on a post[1] which responded to a Rich Hickey talk).

The crucial point was that structural typing on which row-polymorphism is based can model such open-world situations.

Also, having such a system can free you from having overly nested types.

It would be great if Purescript or row-polymorphism became more popular.

Elon Musk is worried about “population collapse” in countries

Perhaps he’s underestimating the amount of resources needed per person and the garbage each person produces

Our planet had under a billion people for every century except the 20th and 21st, right?

What was so bad about that? The idea that less human scientists, workers means less innovation, productivity is not necessarily true now in the age of automation and AI.

The way I see it, people having less children across the planet may be the best way to rebalance this phenomenon.

One third of arable land is desertified. Insect and other species are plummeting. The world is being converted to monocultures and farms. And we are here talking about having more babies for the sustainability of .. social security schemes?

> a former employer used it for all the back-end stuff, and they weren't using the standard modules for web stuff either

This might have been a long time ago but I can't think of much that you cant do. I've seen this behavior though on some project, but it was usually not about the stdlib's deficiencies but more so the developers lack of understanding what they're supposed to do and so revert to another lib.

My state-issued, official high school diploma is written in Comic Sans. I love it!
I am fan of the Jeff Geerling Youtube series in which he is trying to make GPU (AMD/Nvidia) run on Raspbery Pi. It is not easy - and they have linux kernel source code available to modify. Now imagine all Qualcomm clients have to do similar stuff with their third party hardware, possibly with no access to source code of drivers. Then debug and fix for 3y all the bugs that pop up in the wild. What a nightmare.

Apple at least have full control on hardware stack (Qualcomm do not as they only sells chips to others).
In theory, the Raspberry Pi foundation could easily move 3 million 1.8GHz RVA23 in 1 quarter... with 64 cores + DSP ops it wouldn't necessarily need a GPU initially. =3

Bicycle paths on walkways are also hazardous to cyclists - and stressful, at least in London where there’s a lot of pedestrians and they uniformly ignore the markings and treat them like any other path. Crashing into a pedestrian is certainly less bad than being crashed into by a car, but most cars do pay attention and try not to hit you (regrettably not enough, admittedly), and you can make good progress.

I think I prefer to be on regular unseparated road, at least in busy areas where road users are used to cyclists. Rural or suburban areas are a different matter, the relative speeds of road traffic and number of pedestrians no doubt flips the trade off.
I think so too and the drop in the quality of agency, intent and attention from earlier GPTs was palpable. Clearly something was lobotomized and it is through RLHF. People like to attribute it to novelty wearing off or more and more interactions with them making it feel less mystical but it is really not the case. I didn't use them enough in the quick span of time that happened through.
Ask HN: Is there a market for LLM-powered local programs instead of SaaS?
I'm developing several LLM-powered tools for a friend who manages a social media account to streamline his workflow. Initially, I used the OpenAI API, but I believe some tasks could be handled by local models. Since these tools could be useful to others, I'm considering creating a SaaS offering. However, as I also plan to develop a local version, I’m unsure whether to commercialize it as a SaaS product or as a traditional software program that runs locally.
I asked ChatGPT 4 to name my product idea and it gave me a pretty awesome name (a very clever portmanteau) that had zero Google results. So technically, it was something new.

I once spent a load of time making a "galactic civilization simulator" (in C!).

First it spawned a galaxy of stars using RNG.

Then it seeded civilizations at different home stars throughout the galaxy.

Then it iterated an algorithm to show how they spread, settling more and more solar systems, expanding outwards. After a certain number of centuries, solar systems became "decadent" and stopped seeding other solar systems (I showed this by rendering them a darker shade of color). Systems that bordered those of another civilization had to reach a certain high population threshold then they were able to "take over" neighbors, but IIRC I coded it so that didn't happen very often. There wasn't any real diplomacy or war system like in real video games.

I would make some tweaks to the algo, then rerun the sim, and watch the civs spread out slowly in real time. It was pretty.
Dunno. Which alternative creates more shareholder value ?
The query layer would of course handle this. ELK has KQL, which could do it for you, but it doesn't. That's why I'm saying it's a design mistake.

If your data mixes data types, I would argue that your report (whatever that is) _should_ get two columns.
How so? What standards do you need support for?
"The future is now, old man!"
So it's "breaking down" and "malfunctioning" relative to the water needs of the humans living in the affected areas. So this is not in fact any meaningful step change in the system, unless you see providing comfortable amounts of fresh water to all humans living in those specific areas as its purpose.

I guess that's technically creating new knowledge but it doesn't feel "innovative".
In fact, I'd venture as far as to say that all memory in personal and/or "home" computers, starting with the earliest generation (Apple I & Co), has always been some variation of DRAM - with the possible exception of the external cache memory chips used by some CPUs (e.g. 486, Pentium IIRC).

Is there a grammar? ie. a set of rules to form valid sentences in the language

Is there linguistic creativity? ie. you can generate new words to describe things never encountered

Is there metalinguistic reflexion? ie. can you use the language to talk about the language itself?

Can the language allow displacement? i.e. talking about things that are not in the current spacetime point

These are some of the core requirements for a system of communication to be considered a language.
It seems like efforts to fix our problems are being deliberately sabotaged by wealthy corporations as they attempt to squeeze as much profit as they can before our inevitable civilisation collapse.

Traffic is cheap and has been for years. Providers do not pay for the amount of sent/received data but rather a fixed price for capacity at peak and this fee can easily be absorbed into the price of their service (they also don't pay any fees if they are peering with the destination directly). This is why many companies (even smaller ones) are able to provide unlimited traffic for free or free but limited to tens of terabytes (OVHcloud, Scaleway, netcup, Hetzner...).

How much would it cost to have unlimited 1 Gbps in a collocated server? A local datacenter I'm familiar with offers 2U with unlimited 1 Gbps for ~$60. Each additional 1 Gbps costs ~$20 up to 10 Gbps. The larger plans come with 10 Gbps by default (https://dc6.cz/cenik-server-housingu/). If these are the prices offered to end customers from a company, how little do the large players pay?

Cloudflare is able to provide free egress because they are not (as?) greedy. The biggest scam the cloud industry has been able to pull off is to convince people that paying for traffic in 2024 is normal and expected.
Maybe next the air will get tired of circulating and we’ll just have to take turns breathing.

Just something I as a random person been thinking, how likely is next version of Windows _not_ going to be something Linux-based with WINE+Bochs preinstalled?

Windows branding is now forever tied with x86/x64 Win32 legacy compatibility, meanwhile WSL had captured back a lot of webdevs from Mac. Google continues to push Chrome, but Electron continues to grow side by side. Lots of stuff happening with AI on Linux too, with both Windows and Mac remaining to be consumer deployment targets. Phone CPUs are fast enough to run some games on WINE+Bochs.

At this point, would it not make sense for MS to make its own ChromeOS and bolt-on an "LSW"?
Hmm, maybe I'm not sure what you mean about people knowing the unknowable? To me, whether something is unknowable or not is a property that can change over time as technology/epistemology develops. On the other hand there have always been (and probably will always be) people making confident assertions about things they don't know for certain. Getting at some sort of truth is an uncommon goal for monkeys =).

No disagreement from me about science making progress on the mind.
Designing a new clean and better ISA is easy. With the current existing experience that could be done in weeks or a few months at most, to allow for the simulation of how various variants run benchmarks, to determine the best variant.

Nevertheless, designing the ISA is the only easy part. Then you have to write high-quality compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers and various other tools, and also good documentation for the ISA and all the tools.

Developing such toolchains and convincing people to use them and educating them can take some years. Optimizing various libraries for which the performance is important for the new ISA can also take years.

These things are what the incumbent ISAs like Aarch64, RISC-V or POWER provide.
Unordered simply means the order isn’t exposed, not that the bits have somehow literally fallen out of the computer and are scattered on the floor.

Laymen think of language the same way they do about theory and then try to apply that to an academic context. Different meaning. A system of communication is not necessarily a language even if all languages are systems of communication. If your dog could use arbitrary linguistic tokens, generate new ones, describe things that it has not seen before, talk about the past, the future or places other than the current one, then I would be more willing to entertain the idea that your dog has a language

When real, testimonials are hand-picked from the full set of reviews and feedback. That practice should be banned too.

Of course, creation of rules would do only so much. The real deal is ability to execute those in practice.
It would imply faster than light communication between particles, but as someone else said, models are only models. Faster than light communication is impossible for us to achieve, no reason to assume there's not a way that's inaccessible to us.
