So GitHub’s teaming up with Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI? Kinda feels Microsoft’s version of a ‘safety net’, but for who exactly? It’s hard not to wonder if this is actually about choice for the user or just insurance for Microsoft
Maybe ... maybe not.

Modern medicine does have magic pills for many illnesses; for example, antibiotics are magical for many bacterial infections, many vaccines are almost magical too.

OTOH, many pills will have undesired side-effects, and the body is in a complex dynamic equilibrium, so it may happen that blocking GLP-1 may have side effects.

Eventually, we'll all die, but I'm optimistic that GLP-1 will lead to a better equilibrium. Preliminary evidence says it will. I'm not as confident as the author though :)
Haven't used it myself, but from what I know it should "work better" with container technologies (in the sense of integate them nicer I assume)
Sure was, who's disputing that?

That’s correct. Not a native speaker. I am not well versed with slang words. I am sometimes embarrassed because I speak as if they are words from a book instead of sounding like spoken words. Do you know how cuts came to mean that it’s a deal. For a non-native speaker it means the exact opposite thing as in “he cut a wire”. Language evolves in strange ways.
A good amount of GLP-1 is made in the intestines, and production is heavily affected by interactions between those cells and gut bacteria. So anything that caused dysbiosis of the gut microbiome could potentially be causing problems with natural GLP-1 emissions, e.g., antibiotics in the food supply, emulsifiers, etc.
Anyone really. If you look at the quick connect fittings commonly found on German cars they're all built to a standard (VDA not DIN in this case) but built by the NORMA Group or Parker.
> NOTHING (of serious science) seems to indicate LLMs being anything but a dead end with the current hardware capabilites.

In the same sense that black powder sucks as a rocket propellant - but it's enough to demonstrate that iterating on the same architecture and using better fuels will get you to the Moon eventually. LLMs of today are starting points, and many ideas for architectural improvements are being explored, and nothing in serious science suggests that will be a dead end any time soon.
Agreed, but unrelated to if Meta/Zuck are right or successful, thinking of the metaverse as just a VR play is wrong and also underestimates the scope of the project.
Exponentiation is constant-time on floats. But as noted by sibling comments, the precision is a problem.
In terms of joules spent per blade of grass cut, a well honed scythe in the hands of a skillful operator is more efficient than mechanized solutions. If you have an area where you already have an abundance of agricultural workers, it might be that scythe is a better solution than having your agriculture sector being dependent on fossil fuels.
>If it was as simple as eating less makes these issues go away, we would've figured that out a long long time ago.

You can't get people in large enough quantities to do that reliably and for long enough as part of a study. Best you can do is a small quantity of lab rats.

The data is already rolling in as part of prescribed out-patient data.
Are diabetics biased in this way when they take insulin? Or where is your cutoff?

How many average person years does an intervention need to save before it meets your approval?
I went down a rabbit hole several years ago with this concept.

I built much of the code front end and back end then abandoned it because I just could not summon the belief in the idea as a startup.

I was focused on QR codes as entry points to buildings and companies, with integrated guest book functionality.

This was pre-covid so QR codes had not yet become something everyone knew how to drive and mobile phone implementation was not yet universal.

Also being pre-covid every still went to the office to go to work.

I came up with many names and registered many domains I think one of them was paperdoorbell.com and many other such variants.
Yes, I provide it as a service to my employer. It's called a job. Guess what? When I read code I learn from it and my brain doesn't care what license that code is under.
Copyright laws really really need a reform.

If a thing (game, software,...) is not "easily available" to buy locally, by the first party, in any usable form, companies should have no claims on damages, because piracy is a victimless crime.

Is ExampleGame(TM) on sale anywhere, on any platform? No? How can (eg) nintendo lose money then if i pirate it? Where's the harm in piracy then?
Even Windows has this with PowerToys.

I use 3 monitors but would switch to 1 if games respected the dimensions and 8k displays could refresh at 360Hz.
You're right, but the way you're going about it isn't.
How could you break the law by merely reordering the content a user will see?
Of course, saying "fat people should simply eat less" is by no means novel. It's the same as "have you tried _not_ being addicted to [drug]?" or "Why doesn't he just [obvious but impossible action]? Is he stupid?"

For some people, "eat less" is easier said than done. Their body, for whatever reason, makes them suffer when they don't eat. Maybe it's easy – or hard, but possible – for you, and that's great. But don't assume that simply because you've never experienced it as impossible, doesn't mean others don't (or that they simply lack some kind of strength that you possess).

If anything, the effectiveness of this medicine appears to demonstrate that – much like other "chemical imbalances" such as ADHD or depression – obesity might be a symptom of biology that simply doesn't make enough of a certain chemical, or makes too much of another.

Also, I see you posting your website link on a bunch of threads. I read it. This isn't the place for a discussion about it, but I do want to point out a major rhetorical flaw: you appear to assume that _no_ patented invention is _ever_ actually useful. I think this nullifies most of your argument, because it's demonstrably untrue.
I'd love an easier self hosted option too.

Any single pill? Or is your objection specific to this one? (That iirc is actually an injection, not a pill, but w/e)
Self-hosting for Prisma Postgres, Pulse, and Accelerate isn’t currently on the agenda. Our focus is on building Prisma into a company that gives developers the best tools for working with data. We handle a lot of the underlying complexity, abstracting it away to make the developer experience seamless so that teams can concentrate on building their applications rather than worrying about infrastructure—just as we do with databases and the Prisma ORM.

Your point about concerns around vendor lock-in is completely valid, and we get it. However, we're confident that our approach with the ORM, along with the trust we’ve built with the community, will set the stage for us to develop long-term commercial products that are fit for serious, production-ready deployments.

> YouTube has seen some major changes in how it presents itself in recent months, for instance, by adding a pink gradient to the progress bar. We have also seen a removal of the skip countdown for ads, with it being replaced by a yellow line running along the bottom of the video. YouTube also announced several new AI features for creators that aim to give more creative freedom while streamlining content production and enhancing monetization.

YouTube can get away with all this because they have a monopoly on this type of video service. It is a natural monopoly that arises from network effects of viewers and people who make videos, plus controlling the ads market.
I feel like them working with broadcom is another warning sign
> People have had adequate food for quite long and not grown fat.

That's revisionist, both in terms of "for quite long" (food insecurity was common in America until about World War II, and massive food surplus available at consumer-cheap prices begins a little later; other countries still suffer from food insecurity today) and that people haven't grown fat when able to do so. Being wealthy enough to the point of being able to be fat has been A Thing for a thousand years. We know this because the medieval Catholic Church felt that they had to preach moderation; if they had to preach it, it's because it wasn't happening as a universality.
The lactose adaption took a couple thousand years to develop, no? While the last famines in developed countries took place less than 100 years ago. Feeling less hungry does feel like an elegant solution to the blatant oversupply humans are facing now.

As a disabled person: "and yet"…

The place where I live is very good at pretending to do the right thing while doing absolutely nothing.

For example a touristic social account managed by some government entity posted some extra complicated wheelchair lift (that will inevitably break in 1 month at most) to show how disabled people are well integrated.

Meanwhile of course the real situation is that people on wheelchair can go almost nowhere at all. Newer public transport has even worse accessibility than before, elevators are mostly broken at all times and regular ramps are missing, doors regularly have super strong springs and a button to open them (which breaks all the time) when they should just have a much weaker spring instead.

Designers I've worked with are like the tourist social media account. Showing the one single place they made accessible and explicitly saying in meetings "we are good people, we care for disabled people"… and then hating me for pointing out the million other things that are not accessible.
Why not just (from the local machine) run

?
Surprised the price is sub billion given how ubiquitous the motels are.
With heat now venting downward, that would work better above the new Mac Mini.
Interesting point of view. I have to think about it.
Do you have 20/20 eyesight, and how tall are you?

I use glasses (myopia) and can kind of tolerate the edges of my 32" 4k monitor, but I can't fathom craning my neck all the way up to the edges of a 55"+ display. Not to mention font sizes.
For most companies, there are in-house people there who are trained on the vendor specific platform, and understand (at least at a high-level) how it works. When they want to make big changes, they start talking to their partners/outsourcing companies about it, so that they, themselves, won't have to hire more people just for this one project. (afterwards, what will they be doing?)
Why? Care for references instead of opinions?
You're mostly correct, though a 4060Ti 16GB is 20-30% cheaper than the cheapest Mac Mini. More importantly though, "fits inside a Mac Mini" is not a criterion I'm using to evaluate whether a particular solution is suitable for LLM inference. If it is for you, that's fine, but we have vastly different priorities.
It is common practice for business subscribers (around UK) to get a /29
On the router we add a single /32 via the tunnel.

I think even the cheapest 100bucks business plans from many ISPs come with /28 or /29.
It is a complete waste because we had like 10 offices with 3-5 persons with laptops and NO servers. The common question from the ISPs is: Do you need some IPs? When we answer no, they give us /29.
Removing view counts and dates feels like another step towards making YouTube a black box. If they hide engagement metrics it’s a lot easier to push certain videos without users catching on. Wonder if this will really improve our experience or just make it harder to find what we’re looking for.
Immure it and leave it as a surprise for the future to find. Bonus points for leaving confusing clues around the house.
Maybe that’s a good enough reason for me to get one.

To the extent this is really a problem, it's broader than people focused on single companies seem to want to acknowledge. Globally, there are employers and employees and some balance of them such that the number of people employed in a functional economy is a huge supermajority and almost has to be for the health of the society.

Just as not every child in Lake Woebegone can be above average, this means not every company can only hire highly driven overachievers. As a company grows, its workforce grows and becomes closer and closer to the traits of the larger general population. If you ever grew large enough to be the only company in the world, your workforce would be the general population. At that point, it would be full of below average people. The only way to keep them out forever is to not grow. They're not the "wrong" people. At societal scale, to at least some employers, they're the only people who exist.
Apple's keyboard for the ipad does this.
Untreated diabetics can die within a week. Are we facing the same sort of problem here?
It's worse than that. Now the balls of mud are distributed. We get incredibly complex interactions between services which need a lot of infrastructure to enable them, that requires more observability, which requires more infrastructure...
I'd go further than that, there's no valid reason to monetize 40 year old games where most of the devs are retired or dead.

The law still pretends that there's a transfer of value there when there's obviously not, the society has moved on.
The problem is the human existing in a modern environment that is hostile to it. GLP-1s enable the human to more effectively operate in said environment. It patches malfunctioning reward centers (addiction and food compulsion), it reduces overall inflammation, it provide cardiovascular protective properties.

As kubectl_h mentions [1], the future is better understanding and fine tuning the mechanisms responsible. I think gene therapy is the end goal (permanent fix vs chronic maintenance with GLP-1s), but others have indicated in previous threads that might not be possible. We need more information and research. This is only the beginning of the "Aha!" moment (The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not “Eureka” but “That's funny...” —Isaac Asimov).

You don’t believe the medicine that billions of people take to treat diseases that would’ve otherwise demonstrably killed them is “accumulated knowledge” enough?

> All it takes is one person to not buy a book because they can get it for free from the IA.

And how many people bought books because they liked what they got for free, ot because their friend who pirated it told them it was great?

Because if it's anything like record sales, basically every non industry funded study said that piracy is actually net good for sales. What publishers dislike is losing control over what sells.
I usually text/call when I visit people not so often like once a year or once in couple years because usually I don’t remember exactly which number it was.

I built and ran a read it later app in the iOS app store for a few years as a side project. I found it pretty difficult to monetise and the support burden got to me. I eventually just pulled it from the store as I was getting emails and reviews and felt I couldn’t really give it the attention it needed. I saw quite a few competitors coming and going over the years, either through acquisitions or developers just losing interest. It seems like a difficult thing to make work sustainably.
I don’t see the “clear acknowledgement that emulation … has done irreparable damage to the intellectual property rights of game developers”. Cifaldi is arguing that _because_ emulation was not better supported, users had no choice but to pirate the games they wanted to play. He’s asking game developers to provide a convenient and legal way to play the games, and predicting that will reduce piracy. I tend to agree with the argument. Between buying copies for friends and getting new versions, I’ve orchard age of empires at least 10 different times on steam. But before it was available on steam, I absolutely was pirating it (please don’t hurt me FBI). Pirating is annoying, I don’t want to deal with sketchy websites, I just want the game. Of course that’s just one datapoint
I had a kagi account for a year, but it’s just bing with some admittedly nice features on top.

> Most people recognize that LLM's are not currently super intelligent,

I think calling it intelligent is being extremely generous. Take a look at the following example which is a spelling and grammar checker that I wrote:

https://app.gitsense.com/?doc=f7419bfb27c89&temperature=0.50...

When the temperature is 0.5, both Claude 3.5 and GPT-4o can't properly recognize that GitHub is capitalized. You can see the responses by clicking in the sentence. Each model was asked to validate the sentence 5 times.

If the temperature is set to 0.0, most models will get it right (most of the time), but Claude 3.5 still can't see the sentence in front of it.

https://app.gitsense.com/?doc=f7419bfb27c89&temperature=0.00...

Right now, LLM is an insanely useful and powerful next word predictor, but I wouldn't call it intelligent.
National Geographic even created a TV show 5-years ago specifically on this topic.

"Lost Cities with Albert Lin" (2019)

It's an 11-episode show where they use Lidar in each episode to find lost cities.

In Michael Crichton's, "Travels", he discusses his experience dissecting a human body while in med school. The two most memorable bits: 1) the dissection triggered a hunger response in people and 2) they kept the hands covered to help the students dehumanize the body. I don't mean "dehumanize" in the sense of removing their dignity, but the hands apparently can make it more difficult to study the body as a subject and not a dead human.

I read it years ago, but remember really enjoying it.
The benefits of exploring is finding alternatives and knowing about gotchas. And knowing more about both the problem spaces and how the language/library/framework solves it.

>Or, looking from a different angle: what the complainers are saying is, they're sad they can't extract rent now that their past work became valuable for reasons they had no part in, and if they could turn back time, they'd happily rent-seek the shit out of their code,

Wrong and completely unfair/bitter accusation. The only people rent seeking are the corporations.

What kind of world do you want to live in? The one with "social games" or the one with corporate games? The one with corporate games seems to have less and less room for artists, musicians, language graduates, programmers...
Apple TestFlight: Generate individual courses to learn anything – New Update
Hi everyone,

Odinize has got a new update: an overview over your courses! This feature has been highly demanded from the previous alpha test phase and thus is our newest implementation. Let us know what you think!

We are still looking for beta testers to provide us with honest feedback on our app idea.

The app allows users to generate comprehensive courses on any topic they would like to learn in any style they prefer. It will also feature a community to browse / share courses and bite-sized daily knowledge for any topic the user is interested in. A chatbot helps with questions during a course.
This (actually alpha) version provides the core feature of course generation only, while the full version will feature the above functionalities.

We highly encourage you to provide us with feedback via this thread or any other communication channel. You can also visit our website at https://odinize.app where you can find more information.

Thank you in advance and happy learning!
