So, no flexibility, spontaneity? So far we had:

- "I'd like to stay with a friend after school - they'll drive me home after dinner", "Sure, thanks for the info, have fun"

- "Fire alert, I'm fine but bored"

- "Had to help a friend with an accident, will be home 1h later approx"

- Bus didn't turn up, uses app to improvise an alternative connection

- asking teachers about details from the lessons

- getting a news-feed from school

- looking up the schedule if things change

- manage their calendar and todo-lists

- set an alarm/reminder

So basically "everything" an adult does with their phone to make their lives easier.

After that there's enough brain left to learn that social media is something that needs special attention

I'm not saying there isn't progress. I'm saying progress is slow relative to the work that needs to be done. I've also worked at enough robotics companies to be skeptical of anything they publish because there is a strong tendency to cherry-pick results. The disconnect between the research papers being published and the reality of the robots at one company I worked at was pretty egregious.

Robots are super cool. Just be skeptical of the hype.

My understanding is that employers already do pay to post on LI, indeed, etc. It simply works out that paying for ghost jobs is worth it, so the enforcement mechanism needs to be a ban/other thing that doesn't rely on pricing
Yes the incentives will need to change. I think it’s also going to be a bigger question than just software. What do we do in general about those that control capital or distribution channels and end up rent seeking? How do others thrive in that environment?

In the short term, I wonder what happens to a lot of the other startups in the AI search space - companies like Perplexity or Glean, for example.
I saw your foundation model is trained on data from several different robots. Is the plan to eventually train a foundation model that can control any robot zero shot? That is, the effect of actuations on video/sensor input is collected and understood in-context and actuations are corrected to yield intended behavior. All in-context. Is this feasible?

More specifically, has your model already exhibited this type of capability, in principle?

Despite all the comments it still works pretty well for me. I feel like they've improved it a bit in the last year or so so you don't get way too much Quora and GitHub/Stackoverflow clones.

The level of sponsored results for some queries is way OTT, and obviously any kind of search like "best laptop 2024" is never going to give you good results (probably because they don't exist), but other than that I'm still pretty happy with Google Search.

Correct.

Corollary is that Risk Management is a specialist field. The least risky thing to do is always to close down the business (can't cause an incident if you have no customers).

Engineers and product folk, in particular, I find struggle to understand Risk Management.

I think you could save one round-trip if you included the resource size in OPEN response. It could be optional if you want to support streaming responses.
I think you're right, plus there was a solid wall dividing online life from "IRL" back then. When I asked and answered "A/S/L" among randos, we were all anonymous. It was an escape from the social dynamics among my peers at school, sports, church, etc.

For a while, there was some consensus that anonymity and talking to strangers was the danger. So we got real name and photo policies, and the expectation that we'd have an online presence that was an extension of our real selves. Now that every kid's online persona is indivisible from their IRL identity, and their popularity can be measured with likes and followers and inclusion / exclusion from group chats, it just allows the social dynamics among their peers to play out 24/7 on steroids with no escape.

Exactly. All of this screen time is bad for kids and the phone is the devil reincarnate is ludicrous. The type of content they are consuming is what parents should monitor. Allow kids to use the device appropriately. If they do something with the device that you deem as inappropriate, then talk to them and correct the behavior. It is through mistakes that kids (and adults) really learn. Sheltering and avoidance will do nothing to prepare them for the real world once they reach early adulthood.

Regarding incentives - with Perplexity, ChatGPT search et al. skinning web content - where does it leave the incentive to publish good, original web content?

The only incentivised publishing today is in social media silos, where it is primarily engagement bait. It's the new SEO.
Every single popular / well-funded take on this topic seems to focus entirely on quantity, and not at all on quality.

There are many wonderful things for kids - even very young kids - to do on the internet, in collaboration / supervision / concert with a caring adult.

My now 9yo has been playing games like Monument Valley, Lost Sounds, Dragonbox, and the SNES randomizers since he was three (maybe two for some of them). And I have no doubt that these have been enormous boosts to his cognitive and behavioral development, and have given him (and so many kids his age) super powers compared to us.

It's one thing to ward off social media and FPSs; it's another entirely to suggest that refraining from use of a phone or computer is likely to lead to better outcomes.

Rates are up, which makes it less attractive to borrow. I believe they re-did the tax rules on R&D to be less favorable to software development. It seems most large companies expect a large stock drop and recession in the next year or 2. Everywhere is pushing for higher productivity and efficiency. The belief is AI will boost productivity through Copilot and stuff.

Your internet story is also funny to me because my dad worked at an ISP when I was a toddler. One of my earliest computer memories is when he taught me how to go into the Windows 98 graphics menu and toggle the color settings from 16-bit to 32-bit (or vice versa, can't remember now) before booting up a particular CD-ROM game, because otherwise the graphics would be put of whack. I must have been four or five.

I also remember asking why I couldn't play the games whose cool icons were always visible in the taskbar... turns out those "games" were Napster and IrfanView, lol.
Modern Vintage Gamer recently went over Wing Commander and talked about this in detail. The problem with DosBox is the framerate chugs with lots of enemies on screen and then speeds up as you take them out one by one. He suggests the best way to play is on a PC that it was originally designed for.

BTW, I remember playing Wing Commander way back in the day. No game sucked me in like that before or since.

For me the ideal would be some form of single subscription - I'm fine with $100 / month, where whatever I use is proportionally tracked and the services I use are ad-free, orientated to bring me the content I absolutely want and nothing else. Depending on usage of all of those is how the $100 would be spread among them.
Literally that, it would throw exceptions with the compiler error. And as a sibling comment mentioned and I had forgotten -- it would allow for hotpatching code at runtime as you fixed compiler errors.

You could literally start the skeleton of a webserver and gradually add functionality to it without recompiling and it would mostly "just work". Certain changes would require the app to be restarted.
Who will teach them how to (not) use them once they have one? I mean things like privacy, phishing, social media risks, addiction, subscription fees, etc.?

I think the possession of a device isn't the risk itself.

The problem is that your solution to find "good, fair competition" (whatever that means to you) involves some form of ranking.

The problems start when everyone cares about their damn ranking. And yes, even casuals care about that crap. Everybody follows the same strategies, everyone is whiny and annoying because losing means your ranking is damaged.

Back in the day nobody cared. A match went awry because someone did a completely retarded build on their toon, or didn't know how to play with the class they picked? Oh well, game is over, you find a new one.
Is it optimising for all users? And assuming people thumbs up the correct info. I wonder what accuracy percentage we are looking at there.

I played a similar game called Turing Complete and really enjoyed it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/

Here it is best to not engage or add any volume to discussions like this. How you get a community that isn't infested with shallow controversy is by not giving it any attention but small amounts of gentle discouragement.
I'm glad to see high schools pushing back on this. My college student had classes their first two years that required a smartphone in order to participate in class. Failure to procure an Android or Apple device that could run the app they used was an automatic 20% markdown on one's final grade for non-participation.
This is a epistemological problem, you think Neumann's expertise on 1950s technology gives him insight into the technology of, let's say the 2040s. You muddle the issue by calling him an expert on "technology" rather than an expert on "technology as of when he died in the 1950s".

If we don't grant that expertise on 1950s technology gives insight into 2040s technology, then there's little reason to consider his writing as something other than a cool story.

Management decides whether they build a cheap wooden building, a brick one, or a steel skyscraper. These all have different risk profiles.

Safety is a business/management decision, even in structural engineering. A pedestrian bridge could be constructed to support tanks and withstand nuclear explosions, but why. Many engineered structures are actually extremely dangerous - for example mountain climbing trails.

Also yes, you have many opportunities to just YOLO without significant consequences in software. A hackathon is a good example - I love them, always great to see the incredible projects at the end. The last one I visited was sponsored by a corporation and they straight up incorporated a startup next day with the winning team.
I agree that you can solve it using MILP, but I would say that commercial solvers will solve many instances of the problem pretty fast. But we know that you need even Ω(n²) time for 3SUM, so given large enough n, some instances will take a long time, regardless of solver.
And despite all that, you still can't me @all...
Let's be honest, putting the hottest part at the top of the chip where it can be in contact with the heatsink is not the kind of thing AMD could have failed to think about until now. There's surely some reason why they didn't do it this way in previous generations? Does anyone know why?

Not op, but Kagi user. Also have perplexity but usually use kagi.

I would say:
1) The UI. You’re still performing normal searches in Kagi. But if you hit q, or end your query with a question mark, you get an llm synthesized answer at the top, but can still browse and click through the normal search results.

2) Kagi has personalization, ie you uprank/downrank/block domains, so the synthesized llm answer should usually be better because it has your personalized search as input.

Why is texting friends bad?

My daughter has autism, and struggles to connect with her classmates. She gets overwhelmed in groups, and is shy talking in person sometimes.

Now that her classmates started messaging each other, she is actually being included a lot more. She has started messaging and setting up online play dates with her classmates. I was so proud when I found her playing Minecraft with a class mate while FaceTiming. She was playing with a friend!

I don’t care what anyone says, that is good for my daughter.
Once Kagi implements location aware search that is actually useful I’ll be interested in Kagi. That’s what made me leave the engine besides loving it otherwise.

> “It’s not going to cure cancer, it’s not going to bring world peace, two things that we desperately need right now,” she says.

“But I would argue that there is great value in understanding the world [and] how biodiversity works so that we can preserve it, which is an integral component of human health,” says Pringle.

She adds: “It’s not clear to me that the best way to repair the world isn’t sitting and watching lichens grow in a cemetery and telling the world about it.”
Running an unknown app on a trusted remote server under your local user account - not a good idea! Just keep it local on your own machine.

Your editor can handle everything way faster locally, plus it can grab files with SSH’s built-in (and mature to the point of being ancient!) capabilities: caching, compression, and instant text file downloads over an open connection. You can even check for remote file changes using stat.

Even better, use sshfs or another FUSE option.

There’s a ton you can do with plain SSH alone. This whole running-a-remote-server idea is, frankly, puzzling.
I've had this same thought. I have younger kids, so we haven't yet reached the point of needing to contend with all this (e.g. "...but everyone else has an iPhone and Instagram and Tik-Tok account..."), and I've been encouraged by what seems like an increasingly popular movement to deal with it through collective action. It does seem like parents with kids 5-10 years older went through the worst of it; with society caught off-guard and any parent who fought the problem going hard against the grain.
That's a social campaign with a discount code swap. We do that with hundreds of organizations, anyone that are mission-driven.

LLMs arent embodied. They can not break news as they have no ability to gather fresh news
A more sensible way to present the idea is to put the turning point of the parabola at the origin of the graph and then show that 5 is somewhere on the line of super-linearly increasing schedule risk.
No current level of server-sided classification can discriminate between good players and humanized aimbots. Similarly, no instantaneous window of input scrutiny can detect informational cheats (like ESP). You'd need days/weeks of data, and oops too late—they're radiant already.

Also, server-sided anti-cheat is far cheaper than client-sided. I see the inverse quoted everywhere, but it's just not true.
Because the US is the primary enforcer of the world order that mandates, broadly, that everyone can trade with no fear of attacks on their shipping, and that we don't steal each other's land any more.

When the US gives up on that role, the world is going to change drastically, and not for the better.
Tangentially, what are people using to have a unified interface to query multiple LLMs? Juggling multiple apps or websites for each provider gets annoying. I was using openrouter but the chat history is only stored in browser, so I'm looking for something else now. I tried open-webui[1] and that looks pretty good but I wonder if there are better alternatives.

Not allowing something at school is a lot different than not allowing something anywhere.
The parent has failed if the child can't teach themselves by that age. Besides, as you say, it's not so much the phone itself -- those risks can be learned or taught separately from the phone. (I didn't have my first phone until I was 23, but I'm not a tech-clueless zoomer and grew up with message boards.)
At 2:54, it struggles to pick up the cloth for 10 seconds (100 seconds real-time).

This may just be a software fix, but I wonder about the idea of exchanging tools for different tasks. In this case some kind of pincher-vacuum or roller-grip might have done the job better.
Indeed, these debates always seem to lack any sort of nuance. Probably because it's about children, and it becomes really emotionally charged.

Teaching responsible use of technology is, in my opinion, one of my duties as a parent. That includes how to responsibly use a phone, ideally with the goal of improving my kids life.

I don't allow social media (which, I think is really the core of this issue), but I do allow other things like games (in moderation, with approval), communication (with approved contacts), as a dictionary and thesaurus, as an encyclopedia, etc.

I don't know what it is chemically, but why is that naming confusing? Some tortoises are in the family Giant Tortoise. Within that group some are smaller than others. A "small giant tortoise" is not so confusing? A video card can be mid-range. It can also be upper-mid-range or lower-mid-range. I assume similar of LDL; within the group "LDL" there is some variation in size and density; the smaller denser parts of the range have properties which make them worth talking about as a sub-group.

It's a term people use, e.g.
