Almost nothing scales like cars. In many countries nearly every adult has one and they only last a few years. As such they don't need high margins to make high profits.

Food scales even more than cars, and as a result has about the lowest margin of anything people buy.

If people bought jumbo jets like they bought food we could take several zeros off the price (but this would still be more $$$ than anyone can afford even if they wanted one so it would be stupid to try to scale up jet manufacturing that much)
Yeah, totally agree. Here's a useful link for non-Brits, that goes into a bit more detail:

Also, we have yet to define precisely define what is meant by 'British'. This probably needs a "20 falsehoods people believe about..."-type article.
For those unfamiliar with professional wrestling, where the term comes from:

> Kayfabe is the illusion of rivalry. It is what all of pro wrestling is built on: invented characters and storylines, fake rivals engaged in fabricated feuds and staged events that are portrayed as real. Everything down to the last detail of a match and a wrestling season is highly scripted. All wrestling fans know this. It is part of the suspension of reality that we all indulge in when we go to movies or any form of escapist storytelling.

> But cross walks have nothing to do with that really?

The posted article mentioned accidents specifically at cross walks.

> The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that drivers of SUVs, pickups, vans, and minivans are “substantially more likely” than car drivers to hit pedestrians when making turns,

The reasoning though is mainly speculation. I've found that minivans offer exceptional visibility. So it could be as simple as people who buy SUVs, minivans, and pickups are just worse drivers than those in coupes and sedans.

My theory is that people just don't consider pedestrians when making left turns at intersections with cross walks. Instead, they focus on oncoming traffic and commit to a turn before looking at where they are going.
They've certainly engaged in a lot of privacy theater before. For example

> Apple oversells its differential privacy protections. "Apple’s privacy loss parameters exceed the levels typically considered acceptable by the differential privacy research community," says USC professor Aleksandra Korolova, a former Google research scientist who worked on Google's own implementation of differential privacy until 2014. She says the dialing down of Apple's privacy protections in iOS in particular represents an "immense increase in risk" compared to the uses most researchers in the field would recommend.

You are absolutely right.

AI is used to generate new code, not to reduce its size through rewrite [1].

[1] https://www.folklore.org/Negative_2000_Lines_Of_Code.html

The code is always a burden, a legacy. To support it, one need to look after it, take care of it, bear it's weight.

I have 35+ years of experience on my shoulders. I always celebrate when I can reduce code - and, recently, I do that more and more often, being a support person for a large code base with a 20+ years of history.

PS
You were answering a comment that brags about migrating multithousand LOC code bases from language to the other. Recently I had to review a file that is more than (metric) megabyte (10^6 bytes) and more than 32 thousands LOC in size. I need to find a way to apply a fix for a problem triggered by single statement in several thousands (more that 1M of LOCs) of test cases.
Yeah. DST really boils down to tricking people to wake up earlier. But you can get all that sunshine by waking up earlier yourself at 5am. No need to force an awkward schedule change on everyone.

I prefer a formulation closer to the mathematical representation.

With "kill", there is not a lot of space for interpretation, that is why it works.

Take for example the name "Convolutional Neural Networks". Do you prefer that, or let's say "Vision Neural Networks"?

I prefer the first one because it is closer to the mathematical representation. And it does not force you to think that it can only be used for "Vision", which would be biasing the understanding of the model.
> > Those $100 face-value tickets were selling for 10 to 50x their price on secondary markets. Either she truly believed her tickets were only worth $100 (unlikely), or she was deliberately underpricing to maintain her image as an artist who cares about fan access.

> No, those $100 tickets are mostly worth $100.

No, all of those tickets were worth more than $100, which you see from the fact that, if you had one, you could sell it for more than $100.
I'm getting this right away!
I think "Unified" vs "shared" is just something Apple marketing department came up with.

Calling something "shared" makes you think: "there's not enough of it, so it has to be shared".

Calling something "unified" makes you think: "they are good engineers, they managed to unify two previously separate things, for my benefit".

Yes, definitely a big difference between reality and a pretty, fast facsimile of it!
Well, by definition, thinking is always explicit reasoning, no?

And I'd hazard a guess that a well-thought through Fermi Estimation beats lizard-brain eyeballing every time, it's just that in the inbetween space the two interfere unfavourably.
Yeah, I always have AppleCare. I view it as part of the cost of a mac (or iPhone).

And yeah, this incident reminded me of why it's important to back up as close to daily as you can, or even more often during periods when you're doing important work and want to be sure you have the intermediate steps.
I witnessed a driver make an aggressive left turn as soon as a light turned green, to beat the first car going the other way.

Unfortunately that aggressive left turn ended abruptly when they hit a pedestrian crossing the street on that same green light. Thankfully the pedestrian seemed mostly shaken up, but I have to imagine there were long-term consequences of that.
This makes several logical leaps that are unwarranted. It would be interesting to hear more about how they are using it, though.

My experience with the military is that there are huge number of functions involved, and actual warfighting is a small fraction of that.

Not only do I completely agree, I've been playing around with both of them for the past 30 minutes and my impression is that GPT-4o is significantly better across the board. It's faster, it's a better writer, it's more insightful, it has a much broader knowledgebase, etc.

What's more, DeepSeek doesn't seem capable of handling image uploads. I got an error every time. ("No text extracted from attachment.") It claims to be able to handle images, but it's just not working for me.

When it comes to math, the two seem roughly equivalent.

DeepSeek is, however, politically neutral in an interesting way. Whereas GPT-4o will take strong moral stances, DeepSeek is an impressively blank tool that seems to have no strong opinions of its own. I tested them both on a 1910 article critiquing women's suffrage, asking for a review of the article and a rewritten modernized version; GPT-4o recoiled, DeepSeek treated the task as business as usual.

All joking aside, I'm pretty sure they can't. Sure the hosted service can collect input / output and do nefarious things with it, but the model itself is just a model.

Plus it's open source, you can run it yourself somewhere. For example, I run deepseek-coder-v2:16b with ollama + Continue for tab completion. It's decent quality and I get 70-100 tokens/s.
I believe Ticketmaster or Ticketek do this already and earn now double their fees. When they first sell it and when they handle the secondary resell on behalf of the first buyer. Most of their tickets are digital now.

I don't think that argument supports the better analogy of breaking into a computer or filing cabinet owned by someone renting the space. Just because someone is renting space doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want to them. Cameras in bathrooms of a rented space would be another example.
I can ask AI to generate the same code multiple times, and get new variations on programming style each time, and get the occasional solution that is just not quite right but sort of works. Sounds like a recipe for a gloppy mushy mess of style salad.
The single core performance looks really fast.

We've been using this at work to get inside of our customer's perspective. It's helpful to throw eg a bunch of point-of-sale data sync challenges into Notebook LM and eg pass a 10 minute audio to the team so they can understand where our work fits in.
BasicallyHomeless did a recent YouTube video on this.
I generally go to low cost events (<20 USD) and sometimes buy tickets speculatively (eg at a date/time when I’m not sure I’ll be able to make it).

It’s surprisingly hard to let many venues know you won’t attend and the tickets can be reallocated, even if you don’t expect / want and refund!
Sweet thanks!

I am going to work a ton this winter to improve topic/genre accuracy, as I think we have more on Mesopotamia but the system is struggling to tag it correctly. We are using an older NLP/ML system that isn't working as well as newer ones. Update coming soon.
If only in some shots, but they are such a valuable company that they simply cannot afford the risk of e.g. criticism for the choice of people they display, or inappropriate outfits or behaviour. One blip from a shareholder can cost them billions in value, which pisses off other shareholders. All of their published media, from videos like this to their conferences, are highly polished, rehearsed, and designed by committee. Microsoft and Google are the same, although at least with Google there's still room for some comedy in some of their departments: https://youtu.be/EHqPrHTN1dU
If it is written in C you can always introduce a buffer overflow or something similar by just adding a little bit of line noise here or there and nobody can prove it was deliberate.

As someone working in cybersecurity and actively researching vulnerability scanning in codebases (including with LLMs), I’m struggling to understand what you mean by “safe.” If you’re referring to detecting security vulnerabilities, then you’re either working on a confidential project with unpublished methods, or your approach is likely on par with the current state of the art, which primarily addresses basic vulnerabilities.

And that API has root access... thus it's a rootkit.
Apple has a pretty good trade-in program. If you have an Apple card, it's even better (e.g. the trade-in value is deducted immediately, zero interest, etc.).

Could you get more money by selling it? Sure. But it's hard to be the convenience. They ship you a box. You seal up the old device and drop it off at UPS.

I also build my desktop computers with a mix of Windows and Linux. But those are upgraded over the years, not regularly.
No, those are considered. That $2,500/mo is at the bottom of your career. You will be saving more as you age, even accounting for employment gaps.

If we are considering kids, presumably there is another partner (and income) to be added to the equation. While you may have half the amount saved due to the cost of raising children, your partner would have the other half.

It feels like you're only thinking about it at a personal level.

From a higher level perspective, we didn't give them those cars, they bought them. And buying them provided tangible benefits to the people who made them and the companies that serviced them, etc. The money was freed from the dragon hoards of the unproductive and actually SPENT on something. Spending is useful. Hoarding isn't.

Could it have been better spent? Sure, but spending it at all is better than leaving it to rot collecting a few points interest without actually producing anything of value.
Except for the usb c charge port - magcharge was the best invention and I’ll never understand why it was removed.
One of the most underrated macOS features is the screen sharing app - it’s great for seamless tech support with parents.

It works via your keychain and your contacts, and the recipient gets a little notification to allow you to view their screen.

That’s it - no downloads, no login, no 20 minutes getting a Remote Desktop screen share set up.
Honestly it was a game changer. Before I'd never leave the house without a charger, nowadays I rarely bring it with me on office days, even with JS / front-end workloads.

(of course, everyone else has a macbook too, there's always someone that can lend me a charger. Bonus points that the newer macbooks support both magsafe and USB-C charging. Added bonus points that they brought back magsafe and HDMI ports)
Google's AI would have the advantage of the source code. The adversaries would not. (At least, not without hacking Google's code repository, which isn't impossible...)
The population indeed went up, and at the same time the fertility rate is declining. What Malthus was expecting is that more food would just lead to more people on the knife-edge of famine, and we're wildly far from that in most of the world. (What is paradoxical is that the USA is simultaneously very rich, has high obesity, and somehow manages to also have a huge problem with kids going hungry).

The very specific point I'm claiming is that the increased consumption isn't always unbounded.
Perhaps, but it's far better to have cheaters and bots than to have games require a rootkit to play them.

Many years ago, when I purchased tickets to Nine Inch Nails concerts through their fan sales, they tied the ticket to the name on your government ID. And yes, they checked IDs. This was the cost of preventing scalping of premium tickets.

Some venues mandate facial recognition to get in [1]. I am not supportive of such corporate surveillance, but to rebut your comment, identity solutions exist to dissuade scalping, and some are in active use today. Even if you break up Live Nation, scalping will occur for events if profit is to be made.

Does anyone know whether disclosure of Denuvo and similarly controversial "add-ons" does negatively affect sales? Maybe I am cynical, but I have come to the conclusion that whether it is always online DRM, rootkit-level anti-cheat or the need to have an account for offline play, community anger is often only maintained when a game had other things going against it from the get-go. Not against disclosing this of course, that is a great move for those who actually are willing to walk-the-walk, just asking whether we should perhaps temper our expectations on the impact of such a measure.
It really isn't, in my experience. What makes you think "everything military = death business"? The military tends to be mostly logistics, and ends up funneling resources to tons of efforts that benefit the nation as a whole. One such investment is CCDC SC, which was the subject of a 99 PI podcast, IIRC. They've worked for decades to research and operationalize shelf-stable foods, for example. These approaches have made it into civilian foods for the same reasons they are used in the military: convenience, especially under dire circumstances.

The real question is how many lines of code was it responsible for removing.
That's a nice little aphorism. I think this happens in a lot of things in life. Like comments on Reddit always seem quite insightful until you actually read the article they're commenting on.
For me the most impressive „shadow moment“ happened while playing GTA IV. I ha a quite beefy gaming PC and the real time shadows cast from the beams of the player vehicle were generally great.

The moment that’s still stuck with me happened while stealing a car in a back alley at night. Right as my player character entered the car a police man came around the corner. He „saw“ me stealing the car and pulled his gun right when the headlights of the car turned on and cast a huge shadow of the police man in motion onto a nearby wall.
AI's "Human in the Loop" Isn't
I cannot imagine this to be true, cause imo current LLM's coding abilities are very limited. It definitely makes me more productive to use it as a tool, but I use it mainly for boilerplate and short examples (where I had to read some library documentation before).

Whenever the problem requires thinking, it horribly fails because it cannot reason (yet). So unless this is also true for google devs, I cannot see that 25% number.
I'd be terribly scared to use it in a language that isn't statically typed with many, many compile time error checks.

Unless you're the type of programmer that is writing sabots all day (connecting round pegs into square holes between two data sources) you've got to be very critical of what these things are spitting out.
Only in residential properties, typically. There are also states that have no such requirement even on residential rentals.

In any case, I think it's a bit of a red herring and that the "regular comings and goings" case is more analogous.

But also that, at this point in the thread, we have reached a point where analogy stops being helpful and the actual thing has to be analyzed.
It's closed source and the assembly is obfuscated. You don't even need to bother with plausible debiability.
This is quite interesting to know.

I will be curious to see if it has any impact positive or negative
over a couple of years.

Will the code be more secure since the AI does not make the mistakes

Or will the code, not well enough understood by the employees, exposes
exploits that would not be there?

Malicious code in Lottie-Player CDN files
What I meant is that I can imagine cases where some part of the dataset may look like R2 and then colapse to have a spike that looks like R1, so it is not a standard manifold where all of it has the same dimension.

Appart from that, these "manifolds" have noise, so that is another difference with the standard manifolds.
