I suspect this move is due to behind the scenes Adobe / Apple relations souring over the years.

Adobe used to be one of their biggest supporters and helped winning over users to the Mac platform.

This has diverged significantly over the years, and I think Apple is looking at Adobe and their business model and realizing that it both lucrative for them to have software that fills into this market to round out their creative pro apps suite and that Adobe increasingly becoming aggressive with cost / licensing and tactics to extract revenue aren't good for their ecosystem.

That's my working theory, at least.
Good point about not many people reading it, but there was a nice all-caps "NEW RULE" at the top today, so we'll see.

Definitely some people who will disregard rules they know are rules, but I think there's also a lot of people who just thought fake job posts were the convention, and now they'll change behavior.

I follow another creator who attended this event. Apparently, they filled out a feedback form complaining about how they were wrongfully punished by Google search.

More importantly, this creator (and I assume others as well including OP) has a good social following. He has been criticizing Google's treatment of small publishers, how Google AI is stealing content, and how bad the current search results are. The criticism is gaining traction, especially after Google Search's anti-trust trial. So, I am assuming Google wanted to take some steps and thought inviting the loudest voices would help bring the criticism down.

I kinda agree with your second point. These people built a business around a technology that they have no control over. But my only reservation is that said technology is Google—a huge monopoly and literally the gateway to the Internet. You can't let huge monopolies that control all entry and choke points go scott-free over these things.

And it was an authoritarian tyranny in any way at all how? Yes, he incited the idiotic disaster of a half baked protest/"coup" attempt (interpreting it very generously as far as that goes) on January 6th right near the end of his presidency, but aside from that, uneventful in the sense of turning into anything resembling a dictatorship does describe it. If you beg to differ, name something that differs if you like.

Also, read this article or at least part of its long winded rant. It goes to absurd, apocalyptic levels of hyperbole in anticipating the Trump presidency. Describes him as an "extinction event". Laughable. The centralization of executive power that has indeed been developing in the United States is a cumulative product of many administrations, their cabinets and, sadly, the tacit permissiveness of the other branches. Trump was nothing exceptional in its development and it will continue regardless of presidential officeholder long after he's in the ground. That's the wider point worth debating, instead of a pile of heavy handed anti-Trump hysterics.
I don't think that's universally true though. An example would be Logic, which Apple kept improving after buying it and it's still a great piece of software.

Can you really blame people for all of the confusion around whether or not an "AR-something" is 'technically' an "assault rifle"? I mean, if you go to the Wiki article that you cited, the piece you quoted links to the Wiki article about the Colt AR-15, which says:

>The term "AR-15" is a Colt registered trademark which it uses only to refer to its line of semi-automatic rifles.

So, yeah, sure, it's not technically an automatic rifle, but if the manufacturer is going to call it a semi-automatic, I'm not going to fault the average joe for not getting it perfect. "Semi" is halfway there, or at least "is that thing to a degree", after all.

To be entirely honest, the whole semantics debate around "BuT iT'S nOt AuToMaTiC" misses the forest for the trees and shouldn't be given much space. As another person said, a distraction.

The "should we use node for the core business logic for my use case" thing is absolutely valid and depends.

But you'd be surprised about the "react for the front end of the CLI" part. I used this thing a whole six years ago in a complex interactive CLI and it came off great to use, maintainable and ergonomic. React is just one framework that proscribes to the "UI as declaritive/composable trees" pattern. And that UI doesn't have to be web based. That pattern works for all UI's I've come across.

Its the pattern that is a good reason to do this. And not react/js landscape. That part is probably a bonus for many though.

tedious, error prone, tiring. NPP just works out of the box.
I didn't intend this as a comparison. I used Notepad++ for sometime along time ago when I was using windows primarily. I moved to using Linux and Mac and this in itself would mean I cannot use Notepad++ as it is not available on Mac. I was just sharing my experience using different tool to a similar workflow like you have. Being free and open source is good of course but for me Sublime has better integration and its UI is better. And it does support Mac.
This seems closely related to the "Mixtral" approach of a mixture-of-experts transformer [1]... I'm not claiming the approach is not original, it just helped me understand what was going on.

Consider a case of two "experts" or two "value parameter tokens."

The mixture of experts has a "router" network that provides a weight to each expert (through a softmax) conditional on an input. The output is a (sparse) weighted sum of the outputs of the experts.

The TokenFormer has an "attention" layer combines the token and a key value to provide a weight to each "value parameter" token. A(B+C) = AB + AC definitionally, so this is like applying a weighted sum of distinct transformations.

I think the differences are: a) where the non-linearity hits (the above description doesn't consider an activation function), b) this attention softmax is not (necessarily) sparse, c) that "mixtral" networks only replace the feed-forward components of the layer, and d) that extending a "mixtral" approach would require re-training the "router" layers.

It seems like (d) is maybe the nicest feature here... my intuition would think (a) doesn't matter much, (b) is debatable (how close a sparse-MoE can approximate a dense-MoE), (c) has probably been tried (guessing the ffwd limitation was just "more-bang-for-buck-given-parameters" not an oversight)...

... I wonder, though, if there might be diminishing returns here (I believe that Mixture-of-Experts tends to struggle with imbalanced "winner-take-all" dynamics, since "early" winners get more gradient signal to improve their weights) and how different this would have been from going from 3x7B to a 8x7B to a 24x7B training approach (with a "retrain routing networks" step).

I would not have called a Chinese invasion of Taiwan a civil war - not sure of your point there. My reference to a Chinese civil war was like how I would image a US civil war. Start out as a small outburst of grievances and quickly grow.

Israel has made a grave mistake and is only now just starting to realize it - views made public with the 'painful concessions' speech made 4 days ago. Due to modern weaponry we no longer live in a world were you can relatively cheaply maintain dominance over your neighbors. In my view the failure to navigate this new state of affairs could be terminal. The US can no longer afford to bail them out of a major regional war.

In theory you would have independent, private organizations which people trusted to inspect manufacturing facilities and review products. In the U.S., those types of organizations existed before modern Federal regulations. For example, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or Underwriters Laboratories (UL), both of which were founded in the 19th century. Both of those organizations still exist and their role has actually been incorporated into law.

> It's only regulation and government interference that can make it manageable for the consumer.

I would disagree with such a strong statement, but for various reasons I would agree that a purely private approach probably wouldn't be able to achieve the current degree of consumer safety in the U.S., though in less militantly individualistic societies perhaps it could. (Note that "the government", as in the police state, and institutions of social governance are not the same thing.)

The joke was the over the top-ness in the example of how CLI solutions have lacked forward compatibility as often as GUI solutions. The latter parts about how both CLI and GUI have decent examples of long term backwards compatibility were serious.

When a mass employment offer is made to steal or destroy another business, it's usually something ridiculous. For developers it might be a million a year each, for example. It's not an amount intended to be paid perpetually so it can be larger than the defending business can be paying to retain.

It is not illegal to do general hiring at good rates and shop for employees at a particular company. That wouldn't have the same results as buying a company. Plus, you wouldn't own their creations; you'd have to rebuild or clean room steal it.
Probably Java and python will also

How many of those are there? If I'm posed with a problem where in a given year 500,000 babies die or 350 women die depending on which of the two options I choose, how am I supposed to choose?

And what if I have reason to believe that those 350 women die because, more often than not, pro-abortionists hold them hostage and then whine "it's not our fault, you wouldn't let us deal with the ectopic pregnancy! only legalized partial-birth abortions could've saved their lives!!!" ?

It's difficult to even take your argument, as presented in the comment above, seriously. Are you just this bad at arguing, or do you just parrot the catchphrases without even thinking about them? Maybe you want me to feel bad about those 350 women? If I cry properly while singing the praises of their brave sacrifice, that's all you were asking for all along, and you'll stop supporting infant massacres? Is it that you've sort of ballparked how much of each occur, and you think the numbers are swapped? Only 350 fetuses aborted per year, but nearly half a million women? Maybe it's not even that one-sided, there's numerical parity?

I like how you've put it here:

> Needless to say it's a bit more involved, but I felt more accomplished when I figured out how to cook with it.

The rituals and sense of accomplishment. Teflon is very convenient, when it fails you buy a new one, RVS takes a bit more expertise and cast iron is even more of an adventure, it gets better over time, last many generations. It is different in that it heats very slowly but also stays hot when you put it on the table. Nice for slow dining and/or foods that don't stay warm for long. If the handle is also iron you can put it in the oven. You get to cook different dishes that go from the stove in the oven.
Sublime Text has a "Save Project As" option that will create a project with all the files that you have open, wherever they are located. When I tried to migrate to other programs that's one of the first things I try to do and they never have it.
That's just conspiracy theory. The government has no appetite for such a thing, not even a tiny bit. The best we could hope for is an extremely well funded voluntary buy-back program. Offer a thousand bucks each no questions asked (and no silly loopholes like turning in empty rocker launcher tubes, and exclusions for newly created weapons) and we could take a huge number of guns off the streets. Would cost a fair amount of money, sure, but at the scale of the federal government as a non-recurring cost it is entirely feasible. Economically, I mean, not politically.
That's very smart. You could even be in the q&a during the talk answering questions while pre-recorded-you is still speaking! This could give a lot more time for focused interaction.
From my perspective, there are few things that are hitting at the same time.

One, the FAANGs have been captured by MBA types, not computer scientists, so they do not have the background to carefully gauge what is and is not technically possible. Given that the C Suite is invested, are you as a middle manager going to speak up. When you have people, even Musk, claiming that X will be possible in Y years, I discount it. Even Hinton isn't close to the tools here.

Two, there are areas that they seem to have genuine use. Boilerplate email generators, musicians, graphic designers, and visual effects people should watch their back. Professors who merely add problems from another textbook than the assigned one are likely also in trouble. Maybe things like logic programming or unit tests, not sure, but those seem harder to mess up.

Three, we are seeing what happens when a statistical engine, and not a logic engine run amok. If you add non relevant information or change the order of elements, AFAIK, these tools cannot incorporate the change in information. So I think that their usefulness as a teaching tool is also overstated. If we ever get an engine that can explain it's choices, well, that is also a difference.

Lastly, tech is really looking for a genuinely transformational technology. They arguably haven't had a real hit since cloud computing. Maybe since the iPhone. Their last few attempts have run into the difficulty that the universe may be harder to model inside a silicon box than is worth it (self driving cars, cryptocurrency, video game streaming), and if they have to go from never ending growth companies to large S&P 500 companies that have to compete... well... things will be different. Especially compensation for medium talent software engineers.

However: Deepmind seems like they are 50 years in the future for all of this, so if someone there says I'm wrong about any of this, listen to them and not me.
Me too. So stable that I'm becoming less and less tolerant for annoying issues in Windows, and further more motivated to make consumer linux even more available and reliable.

> As far as they're concerned, they've lived through a half-century holocaust of baby murder

It's interesting how this narrative has developed only in the past 40 years or so. At the time of Roe vs. Wade, the Catholic Church did not view a person as being alive until the first breath (a view held today by the Jewish Faith - I've heard they consider the truncated care available to women as an affront to their faith). It wasn't until around Regan that the view really started to change as stopping abortion became a mainstay of the Republican party's policies.

This incorporation into their policies and values is mostly what drove the change in view - going from "it's not a person until it's born" to "fetal personhood". Then after the Dobbs decision and in the leadup to this election, that the phrase murder started being thrown around.

Ever wonder why they're still only prosecuting for the act of abortion, not murder? It's because federal law (which trumps state law) only considers a person as someone who is born.

> they've all collectively decided not to bother trying to seem sincere to those who do not agree with them.

I'd argue that they act quite sincere, and often violently so. Raised voices is the least of what a conversation between a "abortion is murder" and "abortion is health care" tends to result in.
They best vote first. The way democracy works is that you vote for what you want. If our democracy ever fails it will be because people use something other than voting to get what they want. Or if someone stops allowing the votes to be taken or fairly counted. Unless and until that happens the way to do it is to vote.
I’d love to know too! Looking for some comments… :)
