It is most certainly not the only way to evolve and more importantly, while it can be cost effective short term, it is destructive long term. Long term everyone loses, and a concious intelligent being taking control of an evolutionary process should know not to partake in selfish destructive behaviour, otherwise is it really intelligent?

A confounding factor example would be someone who sleeps regularly and someone who sleeps irregularly, two people who both live the same amount of years... but the irregular sleeper lives their last 10 years with greatly impaired capacity after a stroke. [Note: some of my work involves dealing with elderly people and "impaired after a stroke" is an extremely real, and common, thing.] These 'fuzzy' conclusions may be the best we can do.

I've been programming for nearly two decades and have a lot of experience in various technologies. Lately I've been learning game development in Elixir - a very weird task.
I think that's where my value is, though. I love working on weird, unknown projects. Basically everyone I talked to in the Elixir community about game development said it was a waste of time, but I've been showing that it's not only possible, it's quite nice!
I'm always looking for interesting and challenging problems. My wide range of experience (both with and without computers) helps me figure out tasks that don't have prior art. I'm very capable when it comes to R&D type projects.
Honestly, if you just need someone to churn out CRUD apps, you probably don't want to hire me. But if you have some weird ideas that you don't have someone on your team to figure out, I'm your man.
There is nothing quite like it nowadays - not in print, not online. Quanta has a similar vibe, but it's Math-focused.
I bought their previous software "RAW Power", because it was a one-time perpetual license. Then they rewrote the app (it's worse now BTW), rebranded as Nitro, and stopped updating the previous one to be able to charge again.

The Pixelmator team did the same thing with "Pixelmator Classic".
(1,000,000,000,000/63,000)/(60*60)

(1T tokens / 63k tokens per second) / (60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes per hour)

Is approx 4400 hours

So I guess that’s how the calculation went.

Or did you mean a source for the number of tokens per second?
More than a decade.

I was using it as soon as it came out in 2007 and my dinky desktop workstation was out performing the main frame in the basement.
My use will be for a small SaaS. Having automated failover for the database would make me feel much more at ease about uptime and reliability for clients.
Because the others can't use that node, there are no others in that same class. If there was a race, but one person is on foot, and the other is in a car, it's not surprising if the person in the car finishes first.
What kinds of contracts do these come with? I imagine they also expect you to keep quiet about it?
Indexed for inflation, that $7.25/hr should be $19 today.
Curious to learn which lifestyle factors correlate with extremely regular sleep patterns. Of my friends who have very regular sleep patterns, they tend to be very stable, long termists, career focussed, good in relationships, at least moderately sociable, fit and healthy (although in no way obsessed) and well rounded. Kinda good at everything but not extreme in any way. I'd guess those factors alone would have a noticeable effect on longevity.
Bro, you don't like people, we must create a religion. Hear your calling.
Great timing. I _almost_ bought a perpetual license last week. Now I know I'll wait.
I encountered the same issue earlier this year, it's one of the most maddening things I've had to deal with in nearly 2 decades of sysadmin work.

In our case, the domain was registered 15 years ago and email is only sent using Google Workspace. SPF, DKIM, DMARC (strict) all set up as they should be. The customers using proofpoint who suddenly stopped getting our emails had previously had no issues for 10+ years. In some cases (not all), those customers couldn't email us either - emails both directions got silently dropped, so even the employees of some customers didn't know their emails were not going through until we got angry calls asking why we weren't responding to them anymore.

Ultimately, I discovered the trigger was a compromised WordPress plugin quietly injecting SEO spam... running on wpengine. That WordPress site was fully owned/managed by our marketing team and in no way connected to our corporate infrastructure, other than by a CNAME of the same domain email is sent from. I had the marketing team revert to a backup that wasn't compromised, update all the plugins, and used quttera's scanner (which found it initially) to confirm the issue was gone, and within a few weeks it appeared we were no longer blocked. I say appeared because long before that point we had contacted all customers who had MX records indicating proofpoint was used, requesting manual whitelisting.

As much as I'd love to ban WordPress use at the company, we had to settle for using an internal-only WP instance and a plugin that generates a static site export to eliminate any chances of this happening again.
So then use $variables for evil syntactic tricks? That works everywhere. Functions where hygiene counts? Aliases never?
We aren't going to run out of efficiency gains anytime soon. And with a declining population projected, the whole infinite resources argument is less important since we can grow per person with less people
Alarms aren't foolproof though. I often shut them off in my sleep or sleep through them, so I have to keep the phone on the other side of the room AND change the alarm every week or two to prevent adaptation, and that still doesn't help if I can't fall asleep for whatever reason and end up sleeping through due to sheer exhaustion. What I've found that actually works well is alcohol; if I'm not tired at sleep-time, take a swig of 130 proof absinthe and I'll be asleep before long.
(If it helps anyone else, I'm completely dismissive of the value of crypto).
I don’t need to. They tell you their purpose in their mission statement.
maybe that's why it was impressive/memorable?
Very nice, very smooth experience on Android. The animations were well done.

One bit of feedback, you could have a next level button rather than returning to the main screen.

One the first level, it would be nice to point to the tutorial overlay you have on your main page or perhaps create a demonstration animation. It was easy enough to figure out but might be nice to route new users there. I only saw it after completing 10 levels. Your could also add a small explanation when new mechanics are introduced in the level itself.

Overall, great work!

I was around the space before Alexnet came out. Without NVidia the last 15 years of AI would not have happened.

Deep learning was only possible because you could do it on NVidia cards with Cuda without having to use the big machines in the basement.

Trying to convince anyone that neural networks could be useful in 2009 was impossible - I got a grant declined and my PhD supervisor told me to drop the useless tech and focus on something better like support vector machines.
It's amazing how NVidia became worth $3T simply because they have better drivers and CUDA.

AMD has great hardware, but they never could be assed to do anything about their software.
I still run one distro on WSL1 - the fact it shares network with "main" Windows helps me to do simpler TCP proxying when needed. So you are not alone ;) While WSL1 is nothing bad, the most of things I do involving WSL happens in WSL2.

Not to say you are doing something wrong - whatever suite your needs. For me, WSL2 provide Linux tooling, i.e. systemd, which WSL1 just cannot by design. The very same way managing system as I do on servers.

When it's possible/makes sense, I do run gitlab-runner in my WSL2 for easier builds debugging, when setting up new projects for programmers - comparing to 250-300+ ms latency working on remote hosts, it's often much more productive.

Basically stable Linux without fighting with Linux-on-desktop-year-to-come.

>It does feel like at some point we might end up with apartment building standards requiring 2.4ghz/5ghz mesh in the walls to attenuate cross-talk signals between apartments or something (and then maybe phone-tower micro antennas to provide signal for 5G).

I've had it both ways, and I can't say that it is better either way.

In dense neighborhoods (especially stick-framed apartments), Wifi is problematic due to co-channel interference, as you've addressed. This can be resolved somewhat by increasing the density of my own access points.

But things don't get completely rosy with isolation, either. My current dwelling has aluminum siding, low E windows, and even some metal lath in the walls. This all conspire to make it resemble a Faraday cage.

Wifi works great indoors, but it's a struggle to even load up the most basic of web pages (like HN) using wifi on my front porch.

It is fixable by adding some low-power access points outside and I probably will do that at some point. It's just still not exactly ideal, either.

Both situations have challenges.
I just finished writing a discord bot backed by postgres with a web frontend. Some friends and I like to do watch parties and this system lets you set a theme for a group of movies, everyone submits their picks, then it will randomize and post what the agenda is each week. Afterwards it posts a poll to let them respond with a thumbs up or down. The next thing on my list is to use the voting data to render a user score based on how well their picks were received by the group lol.

I got really interested in this idea when I decided to write it in a stack I don't normally work in, Go + HTMX. Go routines are incredibly useful. I used https://nostalgic-css.github.io/NES.css/ for the front end and it's really become a fun bot all around.

How on earth can selection pressure a virus that kills long after it transmits? When increased severity can sometimes improve transmission? This is 1800s transmission-virulence tradeoff hypothesis nonsense.
I think you are correct and GP has the right idea for wrong reasons. In the long term people will stop borrowing in a deflating economy which will harm debt servicers. Financial institutions collapse when your mattress is better place than a bank for money.
Did no one check the scores? They're not the top consumer CPU by quite a range. It's probably the best power per watt, but not the most powerful CPU.
That's not very scientific at all. With how close the CPUs are, how would you compare the tiny differences?

Ostensibly CEO compensation is so high in order to incentivize them to make the company perform well, this job that apparently only these rare individuals are uniquely talented to do. If the CEO suffered pay cuts or lost their job when times turned bad for the company -- the way it does for those being laid off -- then wouldn't that be a pretty strong incentive to keep the ship running well?

Instead, it seems CEOs just get to keep the carrot, while the fallout from their poor decisions falls on everyone else. What kind of performance incentive is that?

I think it's an interesting tech demo. You're right that as-is it's not useful. Here are some long-term things I could imagine:

1. Scale it up so that it has a longer context length than a single frame. If it could observe the last million frames, for example, that would allow significantly more temporal consistency.

2. RAG-style approaches. Generate a simple room-by-room level map (basically just empty bounding boxes), and allow the model to read the map as part of its input rather than simply looking at frames. And when your character is in a bounding box the model has generated before, give N frames of that generation as context for the current frame generation (perhaps specifically the frames with the same camera direction, even, or the closest to that camera direction). That would probably result in near-perfect temporal consistency even over very long generations and timeframes, assuming the frame context length was long enough.

3. Train on larger numbers of games, and text modalities, so that you can describe a desired game and get something similar to your description (instead of needing to train on a zillion Minecraft runs just to get... Minecraft.)

That being said I think in the near-term it'll be much more fruitful to generate game assets and put them in a traditional game engine — or generate assets, and have an LLM generate code to place them in an engine — rather than trying to end-to-end go from keyboard+mouse input to video frames without anything structured in between.

Eventually the end-to-end model will probably win unless scaling limits get hit, as per the Bitter Lesson [1], but that's a long eventually, and TBH at that scale there really may just be fundamental scaling issues compared to assets+code approaches.

It's still pretty cool though! And seems useful from a research perspective to show what can already be done at the current scale. And there's no guarantee the scaling limits will exist such that this will be impossible; betting against scaling LLMs during the gpt-2 era would've been a bad bet. Games in particular are very nice to train against, since you have easy access to near-infinite ground truth data, synthetically, since you can just run the game on a computer. I think you could also probably do some very clever things to get better-than-an-engine results by training on real-life video as well, with faked keyboard/mouse inputs, such that eventually you'd just be better both in terms of graphics and physics than a game engine could ever hope to be.

Looking at the graph in the study, it looks like 0.972 fraction of the very regular sleepers are alive after 7.8 years and 0.945 of the highly irregular sleepers. The difference is 0.027, or in other words 2.7% more of the highly irregular sleepers have died off after 7.8 years. It might be significant in the statistical sense, but it looks like a pretty small difference to me.

I don't know to translate that into a statement like: If you were able to switch from a highly irregular sleep schedule to a very regular schedule, you would live __(x days)__ longer on average. With some hand-wavy reasoning I arrived at something like 10 days longer over a period of 10 years. I.e., a very small amount on average. I'd welcome someone with a statistics background to do a real calculation.
Proofpoint delivers more value to some of your customers’ inboxes than you do. There is no larger question.
I believe this is called "responsive design", a useful but differentiated concept.

It's pretty cool how PDFs don't typically load resources from an external website or CDN. They are self-contained, and thus demonstrably portable.

Gross analogy: Have you ever been to a multi-day music festival? A port-o-potty in the dark is disgusting, but still somewhat useable compared the alternative of going to the bathroom in public. PDF artifacts are in the same ballpark.

Once again, evolutionists report that an organism gained abilities it basically already had. There was no, new capabilities invented in the process. So, you might want to drop that one.

Re common ancestors

Most of what I saw in the past was them claiming that without proof. What they’d usually argue are similarities. Reuse of design, or iterations, happen in intelligent design done by human engineers. We reuse and tweak all kinds of stuff, esp mechanical and software. You don’t see people arguing an unguided, chance-based process must have produced the software because of the similarities in the code. Evolutionists take quite a leap.

Re failed theory w/ counter evidence

You said vestigial. That’s another thing I’m skeptical of. Scientists that don’t understand our bodies have said many things were useless in the past. Then, evolutionists said they were vestigial. Later, the appendix, the spleen, “junk DNA,” etc were proven to have important uses for people even though you can live without some of them.

Vestigial organs seem to be one of those things where evolutionists don’t know why something exists, make a statement of faith that it’s vestigial, and then use the faith-based statements (existence of vestigials) to back evolution theory itself. I don’t like that methodology since they’ve been wrong so many times.

Re fetal development

Same as before. There’s similarities. So, instead of designed with similarities (most likely), it must have been produced by unguided processes in hostile environments that endlessly added more capabilities starting with simple things they spontaneously formed from non-living material in a universe that accidentally formed life-preserving constants.

Yet, even those that believe this won’t rely on such processes to design anything because they don’t work. Even evolutionary algorithms and large, language models take lots of fine-tuning in environments hand-crafted for their execution. Why would I expect anything less of the more complex designs in the universe and of life? :)
The best thing to come out of crypto hype is the attention to Markel trees.

That probably played a part I. The development of CRDTs, which are straight up magic.
AMD had GPU compute APIs at the time as well. They also used to contribute GPUs (albeit in much smaller quantities). They just ended up killing them in favor of OpenCL which then withered on the vine.

NVIDIA absolutely contributed to the foundation but they are not the foundation alone.

Alexnet was great research but they could have done the same on other vendors at the time too. The hardware didn’t exist in a vacuum.
I do much better with no alarm clock and being in situations where i don’t need one. Allowing myself to naturally wake up and being in situations where variable times to naturally wake up are ok are very much better for my brain and overall health.
