Yeah I think people don’t realize just how dire it is at Intel. The talk above of the culture being on a death march can easily be explained by the jobs at intel having literally nothing at stake. And they announced even more layoffs and wage freezes at the last quarterly earnings.

It’s not an engineering run company like the successful big tech companies. Everyone working at intel is there temporarily and there’s no reason to build a long term career there. You jump asap.

I don’t see the shareholders voting for a reasonable tripling (quadrupling?) of engineer salaries anytime soon given the short term thinking track record. Which means I think the only way out is for an entirely new engineer run company to appear.

Intel have run on momentum to this point. They actually have 10nm foundries operational due to some level of talent continuing to persist over the past 20 years. They can’t seem to get much further past that (smaller nodes than that have reported terrible yields). They have more or less competitive cpus for sale (although they clearly hit a wall in that aspect to the point the latest CPUs bench exactly the same or worse than their own previous generations).

I think the momentum has definitely run out and the talent is gone at this point. The momentum is now in the other direction. Morale is dire, no one working there gives anymore of a fuck about their job than the kid pushing trolleys at the grocery store. Their CPUs are not advancing with each generation at all anymore and they cannot get reasonable yields on newer fab nodes.
> A good chunk of the world does not speak english or latin character based languages.

nearly everyone in a first world country knows the English alphabet though. a vast majority of the developing world as well. just look at street view on Google maps in any country, there's going to be a ton of street signs using English characters, even in non-touristy areas.

> They should be able to interact with computers completely in their own languages and alphabet sets, even if those are written right-to-left or top-to-bottom.

if you're a typical android/ios end user you're interacting with a computer in your native language anyway. this discussion only applies to low level power users.

in that case: why? these aren't user-facing features. this is like saying that people should be able to use symbols native to their language rather than greek letters when writing math papers.

it might not be "fair" that English is overrepresented in computing but it also hasn't demonstrably been a barrier to entry. Japan, Korea and China have dominated, particularly in hardware.

if you think it should be fixed why stop at usernames? why represent uids with 1234 instead of 一二三四?
I dream of a world where instead of being inundated with ads, in case any of them is relevant to you, people who are shopping for something can opt to see ads while they're shopping.

Ads have to be aggressively pervasive because they're not very effective, and the attempted solution is even more invasive advertising for even more marginal gains.

Of course this will never happen because search engines are very effective forms of advertising, but ads could retreat from many mediums without significant impact to marketing.
I don't know why you interpret my comment like that, I don't support Russia, I say that Israel is just like Russia from that standpoint.

Are you by any chance assuming that Israel is absolutely innocent, therefore I must be claiming that Russia must be also innocent? It's the other way around, they are both aggressor and invaders. Anyone claiming that countries shouldn't invade other countries and respect the internationally recognized borders then should support Ukraine and Palestine.
Do you have a different solution than democracy? We've already tried communism in Romania for like 45 years and it was garbage.

For the parliament election that happened last week, the winning parties of parliament were the establishment parties. They did lose some support compared to 4 years ago, so democracy is definitely working, but they still have reasonable backing by the people.
Author here -- six months ago we launched ARC Prize, a huge $1M experiment, to test if we need new ideas for AGI. The ARC-AGI benchmark remains unbeaten and I think we can now definitely say "yes".

One big update since June is that progress is no longer stalled. Coming into 2024, the public consensus vibe was that pure deep learning / LLMs would continue scaling to AGI. The fundamental architecture of these systems hasn't changed since ~2019.

But this flipped late summer. AlphaProof and o1 are evidence of this new reality. All frontier AI systems are now incorporating components beyond pure deep learning like program synthesis and program search.

I believe ARC Prize played a role here too. All the winners this year are leveraging new AGI reasoning approaches like deep-learning guided program synthesis, and test-time training/fine-tuning. We'll be seeing a lot more of these in frontier AI systems in coming years.

And I'm proud to say that all the code and papers from this year's winners are now open source!

We're going to keep running this thing annually until its defeated. And we've got ARC-AGI-2 in the works to improve on several of the v1 flaws (more here: https://arcprize.org/blog/arc-prize-2024-winners-technical-r...)

The ARC-AGI community keeps surprising me. From initial launch, through o1 testing, to the final 48 hours when the winning team jumped 10% and both winning papers dropped out of nowhere. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone and we will do our best to steward this attention towards AGI.

We'll be back in 2025!

It's just biology. People in their 70s and older are very likely to have physical and/or cognitive issues that substantially reduce their potential productivity.

The fast charger is the expensive part, the dispenser is not nearly so. Just like a gas station, dispensers to chargers are many-one. I was being a bit glib when I said the dispenser is a fancy switch (esp if the lines are cooled) but only just a bit.

I see a report that has Tesla’s cost as 43k per installed dispenser. That is a fully load cost, not the marginal cost of dispenser but it is good enough.

Looking at listings for gas stations for sale (with a convenience store but no auto repair), I see about 150-300k per dispenser. That isn’t exactly apples to apples but suffice to say it isn’t exactly cheap and much closer to representing the cost than the cost of a pump (which is I assume cheaper than a dispenser).
There's enough of them that you're saving a scarcer resource by not recording it anywhere.
> The fact they cannot deliver a GPU, which is just ..

“Just”?! This is an incredibly dumb take.

Are you by chance comparing a brand new hardware product launch with a software product launch? Launching a hw product that does well takes YEARS. Any other company will not be able to pull this off, or they would have done it already. Intel has done quite well coming up with a decent gpu from scratch. There are like two other companies in this world that know how to do that, and they took a long, long time to get there.
It’d be neat for readers to seamlessly integrate with a scraper, either self-hosted or commercial, if no feed is found. I believe Inoreader allows scraping a few sites depending on the plan level; most reader services don’t.
You folks are spot on. Single file in this case means single binary that is statically liked, i.e. w/o dependencies on shared library allowing you to just copy it from machine to machine similar to e.g. k3s.

Whether to use docker or not is really up to you. It's just a way to deploy other assets, e.g. a static html bundle. More importantly it saves me the trouble of providing windows builds at this current time :)

Back in the day people used to SHA256 a passphrase and create a Bitcoin private key from it.
People were unhappy before and nothing like this happened because of it. International interference was always very difficult.
I disagree with my sibling comment. The trick is beautiful. If you generate UUIDs such that each bit in the result can be reliably traced back to a single bit in the input, then you can take a substring of the UUID and use that to infer which bits of the input integer must be set to produce that substring. So you can produce a whole list of input bytes that meet the criteria and those become your search results.

The real magic trick here is that the uuids on the page only look random to us because of some bit twiddling and XOR trickery. If we had a better intuition for such things we would notice that successive UUIDs are just as correlated as successive integers.

Elegant stuff
I feel this is kind of stretching the phrase "free and fair". The election e.g. in Venezuela earlier this year was not "free and fair" because the votes simply weren't counted and made-up tallies were published. This is not what's happening here. Here, there is no doubt that people wanted to vote a certain way and the votes were accurately counted to reflect that.

In my own philosophy of photography, I've got a generalized (and admittedly overly simplified model) of:

For me / For others
Memories / Emotions

There are photographs that I take that are "memories for me" - things that I want to remember but are otherwise rather meh for other people. There's also photojournalism which is much more on the memories for others quadrant.

Likewise, the are photographs that are emotions for me... and the sellable ones are emotions for others.

All of those are perfectly acceptable photographs. It's a matter of what expectations there are for me when showing them to others. And likewise, there are photographs that other people other people take for memories for themselves that I hope don't disappoint them when they show them to me and its a "its ok" as the response when it was a memory that they want to maintain. Someone else's wedding photograph isn't something that is particularly interesting to me as a photograph.

It could be, but this aspect of the idea could also be user-togglable at runtime.
The explanation for full-text search was actually slightly more intelligent than what I initially assumed. I figured it just generated UUIDs until it found one that was in the correct direction of search (for the next/previous button), since I had observed that walking forwards and backwards in search results was giving different results each time, but in fact the author did the slightly better thing which is to just generate a bunch of possible results and then pick the best (I wonder how many results it generates for this?).

You know if this ever happened in another European country where the main parties were asleep at the wheel and a newcomer takes the stage - this sounds like a trial balloon to see how Europe likes cancelling democracy when it doesn't suit the ruling players.

France is another case where the main ruling parties (PS, LR and even ENS) have lost legitimacy but they paint the newcomers in ascendancy (RN, LFI) as both "useful idiots of the Russians" and "antisemitic". Then the President decides to break norms and not follow the will of the people in his choice of PM (typically should go to the party with most votes in assembly) - and faces no reprimand from the institutions.

Both of these are tests what needs to happens so Europe remains tied to NATO and the US. But these are both symptoms of a decaying order.

Only because the author is utterly rejecting the source material. The very first thing "invented" in any "sci-fi" war setting is a magic fabric that acts like a rigid structure when hit with a weapon. The black "fabric" that the article points to at Master Chief's waist IS armor. Not only that, but it HAS evolved against it's threat profile: The primary damage type it needs to resist is thermal, not kinetic. The black fabric has a layer of ~magic~ nano goo that better dissipates the heat, and the setting's shields are more effective at mitigating a ball of plasma than a physical plate of material is.

The large green portions of Master Chief's armor is primarily for housing equipment and systems. It has a nuclear reactor in it, computing facilities that rival starships, and enough motors or hydraulics or "space magic" actuators so that Mister chef can shot-put cars. It won't have mobility problems because it's power armor, the suit IS the mobility. The suit canonically survives reentry primarily by becoming entirely rigid and pretending the impact would not turn the occupant into goo. It's a suit of Iron Man armor.

Halo meanwhile has both UNSC Marine "armor", which is basically a plate of steel hung over your chest and nothing else, and ODST trooper armor which would have likely been better for this post, as they are actual standard equipment, while there are only a few hundred sets of Mjollnir-IV armor.

The Mass effect commentary suffers from the same problem: All the "flexible" stuff on an N7 suit are magic material that provide ample ballistic protection. They also massively overemphasize hand to hand combat for the Mass Effect universe. Sure you might take a rifle butt to the chest, but 99% of the threat in that universe is a microgram of metal fired at a significant fraction the speed of light.

For the Dune armors, the complaints about "rigid" stuff bending are accurate, but the swordplay in Dune isn't really comparable to how we protected against middle ages swordplay, because the shields completely change everything up. Shields ARE effective against a sword, if it travels fast enough. You don't armor against an actual sword blow delivering 100J because that will be stopped by the shield. You don't land a brutal slice on your enemies, you slip inside their shield and gently slide a knife between their ribs. A stab proof vest in this universe should be entirely effective armor, but instead, no armor in Dune is ever shown to do anything. Dune 2 had MUCH more rigid and all-encompassing armor for people who expected to get shot, not that it stopped them from getting domed and stabbed.

Well, my perspective is that the Russian government is much worse than the US government, even if both are bad (although the US is getting worse).

My perspective is also that search engines like Google are bad, but they at least aren't run by the US government in the same way Yandex is run by the Kremlin.

"You can't criticize Kagi using Yandex because the US is also bad" is why it's whataboutism, and why that's not an effective argument.

It actually uses ultralytics version 8 (but that seems to be on version 11!) so it’s a bit behind but should have excellent performance still.

It mentions allowing you to use additionally trained model is an enhancement that is being worked on for the future!

Still, I think it’s fantastic that you can take a great model in python and make it available in the Elixir machine learning framework, allowing Elixir programs to integrate with this type of models at a low level without completely reinventing all the effort to train and build them in the first place!
It depends on how you use it. I think your point is similar to the concerns people had when calculators or other similar tools were invented. It's not about the tool itself but how you use it. For example, I use BrainSpeed.ai and I really like it
No those two things are clear to me.

First, yes they will be re-ran, and it's doubtful the winning candidate will even get to run. Also, where does it end, do we keep re-running it until we get the right candidate? What if it was the candidate you voted for, how would you feel?

Second, yes apparently you can, it happened. If the whole country was able to be swayed by TikTok ads but apparently no politicians noticed then they aren't very good at politicking or governing. If they noticed an issue they should have dealt with TikTok earlier.

So far TikTok hasn't been held liable, only the voters who choose to vote for this candidate.

See my other comment in this thread - there are degrees to everything, and my view is that the Russian government is one of the worst. It's absolutely valid to be more critical of a Kremlin run search engine than one that's in the US, even if they both have major issues.
