I don’t care who is researching this, we won’t have AGI by 2027 and super intelligence by 2030s.

> Based on trends in AI capabilities research since GPT-2, we are on course to expect AGI by 2027. Once AGI capability is available, if labs focus on automating AI research itself, progress in AI should accelerate. If similar progress can be achieved as the phase from GPT-2 to GPT-4, or GPT-4 to AGI, we should expect Superintelligence before the end of the decade.

Their explanation for why Go performs badly didn't make any sense to me. I'm not sure if they don't understand how goroutines work, if I don't understand how goroutines work or if I just don't understand their explanation.

Also, in the end, they didn't use the JSON payload. It would have been interesting if they had just written a static string. I'm curious how much of this is really measuring JSON [de]serialization performance.

Finally, it's worth pointing out that WebSocket is a standard. It's possible that some of these implementations follow the standard better than others. For example, WebSocket requires that a text message be valid UTF8. Personally, I think that's a dumb requirement (and in my own websocket server implementation for Zig, I don't enforce this - if the application wants to, it can). But it's completely possible that some implementations enforce this and others don't, and that (along with every other check) could make a difference.

Situation:

You have parents A, B and C.

- Parents A own a small business.

- Parents B sold their small business two years ago, and put the money in the stock market.

- Parents C just scrimped and scraped and over the years saved up money equal to parents A and B.

I’m not sure why you’re so hellbent on giving specifically parents A a free pass. Why the unequal treatment?
I've said in the past "The best developers are the laziest ones". We don't want to do a bit of unnecessary work at all.

I wouldn't cite him as a YouTuber first, but Jeff Nippard is a a reputable source.

I'll take filled rounded corners over the window border bulge atrocity seen in IRIX.

Also keep in mind IRIX (and most classic desktops) assumed 72 DPI displays rather than 96 DPI displays. That means when you view a screenshot or render them unadjusted they look 75% the size they did back in the day. Still plenty denser in many ways... just not as much as loading it up on a modern "96 DPI is 100%" screen would imply.
> I expect aggressive tariffs and outright bans of Chinese imports

We'll have to see how Americans react. If their feathers are ruffled by inflation they're definitely not going to take kindly to their Shein bill going through the roof. Either way, I don't think you're going to destroy China's economy by cutting out American imports. You're more likely to destroy the materialist lifestyle that's keeping America's middle class from collapsing. I have no love for America's reliance on the Chinese economy, but we chose this destiny. It was American business that sold us all out, and capitalism manufactured the consent.

> There is no reason to tolerate any of this.

Sure there is - it's an utter embarrassment that was inevitable from the moment Lawful Intercept was conceived. The US wanted this weapon, now they have to defend against it. This is a causal consequence of backdooring your telecommunications products and should be left as a smoldering example to anyone attempting something similar in the future. Seeking retribution for your own fuckup is senseless vengeance.

> Amazon doesn’t have an AI story.

A quibble: AWS _does_ have an AI story (which i was originally dismissive of): Bedrock as a common interface and platform to access your model of choice, plus niceties for fine tuning/embeddings/customization etc. Unlike say Azure theyre not betting on _a_ implementation. Theyre betting that competition/results between models will trend towards parity with limited fundamental differentiation. Its a bet on enterprises wanting the _functionality_ more generally and being able to ramp up that usage via AWS spend.

WRT titan my view is that its 1) production r&d to stay “in the game” 2) a path towards commoditization and lower structural costs, which companies will need if these capabilities are going to stick/have roi in low cost transactions.

these plastics that will break down are designed to fix the problems of plastics... which problems are that plastics break down. We only need for plastics to break down more because they've already broken down, into microplastics and god knows what else.

I want to go in the other direction, plastics that simply don't break down, ever. Plastic laundry baskets with handles that keep being handles. Slick looking rubbery objects that don't turn into a sticky mess. We never thought of plastics as a pollutant because we thought plastics wouldn't break down. Make it so.
I don't think building compilers is that bad, tbh. It's very difficult to do this without realizing it.

I've written a dozen different programs that might be considered compilers; some very simple, others very complex and whose life continued once I left the organization. Writing a functional compiler that provides the needs of the organization where existing tooling doesn't takes discipline and focus on what you actually want to accomplish. I don't know what "defining a struct inside a loop" might mean and this strikes me as, very obviously, having no clue what you actually want to build.

Perhaps the issue is not building a compiler but rather the lack of focus to begin with.
Framing things as right or wrong, win or loss hides the fact these are complex dynamic systems that keep oscillating between different constantly evolving states. When things are complex there is no right and wrong.

Economic history shows us Mercantilism was the response to Feudalism(no private ownership, barter instead of money).

Each system has its own contradictions that get amplified as they accumulate/exercise power.

As a reaction to Mercantilist thought (increase in govt controls, subsidies, tariffs, worship of gold, silver accumulation via trade as source of security), we get the Physiocrats/laissez-faire/Adam Smith/"natural laws" of production+distribution/free markets/free trade/value of labor & industry over trade. Then we get Marx focusing on exploitation/alienation etc and the Gilded age and Great Depression. Out of which we get Keynes/New Deal (and huge increase in the role of Govt). In the 70s it leads to stagflation and we get Reagan/Thacher/Milton Friedman. Which then leads to 2008 GFC and back to Keynes.

Things are constantly going back and forth. But each iteration reveals new dimensions. The system learns the value of land, then labor/population, then capital/distribution, then institutions/organization, then information/attention etc. Things might look like "more of the same" but the new dimensions change the story each time.

There's two dictionary definitions of tergiversate. One is the one you quoted, the other is one of desertion. Both meanings of the word are pejorative in the sense that the word comes with a connotation of betrayal of a cause. What I wanted to express was an acknowledgement that I understood the feeling that you get when someone who's clearly a fan of your work nevertheless does not provide a clear endorsement. It's easy emotionally to dismiss people who "just don't get it". But when someone does get it but chooses to equivocate, that can feel like an emotional betrayal. So I was looking for a word that covered that with the right connotation. I originally used apostasy, but it didn't feel quite right, because I wasn't really renouncing, more failing to fully endorse, so tergiversation it was. Of course having to write an entire paragraph to explain your word choice kind of defeats the purpose of choosing a single well fitting word over just writing a sentence of simple words that explains what you mean. But hey, I write enough technical writing, documentation, reports, grants, etc. all day where clarity is paramount that I feel like I get to have a little vocabulary treat in my personal writing ;).

Russia's pre-war demands were less extreme than that, Wikipedia suggests [0] the Russians just wanted a de-facto pullback. Why do you think the US would have changed their stance? If they were willing to offer anything like that I doubt the war would have happened at all.

This kinda goes to my main point. If the US was willing to do anything even a little bit like that at all, this could all have probably been avoided. You're suggesting a sane offer - I too think a sane offer would allow things to wind down fairly quickly. The issue is that after 3 years of war it is clear that the US is not willing to make a deal like that.

Trump might be able to change that, I hope he can, but the odds seem stacked against him. He is in a key position buy doesn't have that much negotiating power; what you're suggesting looks to me like an unconditional US fold. Trump'd quite possibly end up in a lot of trouble. And there is no way it has been an option open to the Russians for the last 3 years.

The next generation of soft-sciences research reproducibility is going to be interesting.
The experiment is literally all about scaling. It tests scaling from distance 3 to 5 to 7. It shows the logical qubit lifetime doubles each time the distance is increased. The sentence you quoted is describing an expectation that this doubling will continue to larger distances, when larger chips are built.

This is the first quantum error correction experiment showing actual improvement as size is increased (without any cheating such as postselection or only running for a single step). It was always believed in theory that bigger codes should have more protection, but there are have been various skeptics over the years saying you'd never actually see these improvements in practice due to the engineering difficulty or due to quantum mechanics breaking down or something.

Make no mistake; much remains to be done. But this experiment is a clear indication of progress. It demonstrates that error correction actually works. It says that quantum computers should be able to solve qubit quality with qubit quantity.

disclaimer: worked on this experiment

I've been using Claude 3.5 over API for about 4 months on $100 of credit. I use it fairly extensively, on mobile and my laptop, and I expected to run out of credit ages ago. However, I am careful to keep chats fairly short as it's long chats that eat up the credit.

So I'd say it depends. For my use case it's about even but the API provides better functionality.
A fun way to celebrate!

As I've said, the facts speak for themselves. If Russia had enough modern tanks and wasn't running out of tanks, it would not use T-54 tanks in Ukraine. If one looks at the satelitte images over time of Russian tank and artillery storage sites, they empty out and we do not see massive amounts of tanks at the front, we still see 5-10 vehicle tank attacks, so tanks are depleting - or where are they?

In France it is mandatory either with salary or rest. In addition the labor code stipulates mandatory daily rest of 11 contiguous hours even during the weekend and extra 24 contiguous hours of rest during the weekend.
Hours of intervention are considered work.

In my company we get approximately 800€ for every week of on-call and each hour of intervention is also compensated with salary.

From my point of view this should be high enough for the company to be willing to focus on on-call issues.
Ater years of being on-call I must admit the salary is comfortable but it doesn't cover the pain and constraints of being on-call: being kinda "stuck" at home basically, lots of consequences on private life etc.

LLVM doesn't prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot via a dozen different language details completely divorced from backend implementation. It's only a small, but very important and difficult, aspect of compiler writing. I think languages like go have demonstrated well that this is of limited benefit to the success of the language.

Racket at least provides most of the tooling required (eg dealing with details of namespacing, syntax, runtime/compile-time/evaluate-time distinction, continuations and garbage collection), but if you've ever tried to introduce it into an organization of significant size this very same result of yak-shaving will be considered a liability.
Why I couldn't guess but an example similar to the article that I tried does not immediately execute (version 5.2.37(1)-release) when indrected through a variable as you show although other aritmetic evaluation does still happen when indirected. You can echo "${num}" and it shows the passed string. If you change it to declare -i num ; num="${1}" then it does immediately execute.

A pattern I'm seeing in this thread: Someone makes a hyperbolic "America is evil" claim. I spend, like, 60 seconds investigating. The claim doesn't appear to hold up.

It seems clear to me that you, and others, love to exaggerate how evil the US is, regardless of the facts. And you haven't given a historical example of a country that did a good job of addressing counterinsurgency/counterterrorism with belligerents who hide in a civilian popuation. For example, perhaps you think that China's method in Xinjiang represents a superior approach? Please, provide a model that you think worked well!

I just want you to do one of two things: (a) admit you/others in this thread might be exaggerating a smidge, or (b) embrace the logical implication of your position, that the US should withdraw from NATO.

I don't care which of those you do -- I just want you to be consistent!

As an American, I personally have become more and more convinced that the US should withdraw from NATO, with every comment that's left in this thread. It just isn't worth the risk that something like this will happen again in the future, should the US become involved in another major war.

And, I don't think Americans should die for people who love to exaggerate how evil we are. That's absurd, frankly.
