Isn't it like saying "Windows is open source, since if you don't like it, you can just delete it and install FreeBSD"? OpenAI doesn't really have any realistic alternative that's not only in name open.
The fact that early computer storage was basically a co-opted audio format led to a lot of strange hacks. You could broadcast code over TV and radio, and I think there were some services that did this.

I think I also recall some program cassettes that held your program on one side, and music on the other.
US debt has been this high before.

You lend someone money based on whether you think they can pay you back. People still buy US debt because the US is good with its promises.

It’s the same reason the US dollar is the reserve currency… the US govt knows how to keep it reasonably stable and has decades of success at it.

Does the US use this to their advantage? Sure. But it doesn’t matter… you just need to be better than the next guy. Just observe the 100 year history of many countries: their institutions 100 years ago are much different from today. No one likes uncertainty.

This is a fun thing to think about - historical reconstruction. In the extreme, you end up with something like Accelerando[1]'s "resimulated" people - people recreated and resimulated in full fidelity from any and all available history, but who may never have actually existed. A bit like an AI hallucinating people.

I'm glad I did- I think the utilitarian distinction you made is such a good point.

Interesting as category theory is, and even while it does have applications, I think claiming that it's value is somehow in helping you learn Haskell/Elm/Gleam etc is just dishonest and misleading.

Thank you for explaining this so clearly. We were very cautious in choosing the license for this exact reason!

We love open-source and want to give back fully to the community. The AGPL felt like the most open license that still protects against outright theft — something we’ve unfortunately experienced in the past.
> Will WordPress be there in 5 years? Regardless, it has a cost.

WordPress will probably be around in 5 years, but I don't think anyone can say that the plugin ecosystem and open source community that WordPress heavily depends on would, especially with what has been going on in the past months.
A difference between Pinecone and many of the others you listed is that we host both embedding and reranking models in a serverless fashion. You pay for what you use while we manage the entire stack.

The Enterprise SaaS Sweet Spot: Lessons from 6 Years in the Trenches
The real goal of this research is developing models that match or exceed human understanding of the 3D world -- a key step toward AGI.

A key reason why current Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) still have inferior visual understanding compared to humans is their lack of deep comprehension of the 3D world. Such understanding requires movement, interaction, and feedback from the physical environment. Models that incorporate these elements will likely yield much more capable LMMs.

As a result, we can expect significant improvements in robotics and self-driving cars in the near future.

Simulations + Limited robot data from labs + Algorithms advancement --> Better spatial intelligence

which will lead to a positive feedback loop:

Better spatial intelligence --> Better robots --> More robot deployment --> Better spatial intelligence --> ...

Creating | Problem Solving | Ideas Sharing |Reliability

I started frontend development when I wanted to dig deeper into this field and understand it better. Soon, I really started enjoying it.

Creating something from scratch or using different components to build something new, adding styles, using different CSS tricks, and thinking about how to position elements to get the right look and feel—that's what keeps me hooked. I like easy-to-read code, almost like reading an English book.

I enjoy the challenges that come my way, breaking them down into smaller pieces to better analyze and find solutions. As a frontend developer, I also value close collaboration with team members, sharing and extending ideas to reach a good outcome.

I got into test automation too. I felt like a sponge, soaking up more information. I enjoy turning repetitive tasks into one-time test cases that just need maintenance. It’s a nice addition to development.

I like structuring my documentation well, so at a glance you can find the parts you need without having to read through the whole thing.

I’m always excited to learn new things and take on new challenges. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or collaborate!

Weird that people still get raped and murdered in your "safe and stable" environment. Sometimes the perpetrators don't even see justice and get away with their crimes. How do you account for that?

Without a doubt. I don't trust authority because I've been abused by it before. I'm sure you didn't mean to punch down but that's how many of us would rationally perceive it.

Great point, I am a big fan of how lightweight Tauri is. We have used it in the past but have got hung up on some of the browser APIs not being supported.

>Therefore, to approximate the value of √2, we can simply measure the time it takes for a player to travel at a constant rate along one of the legs and the time it takes for that player to travel along the hypotenuse.

In many games, moving diagonally (e.g. by pressing Left and Forward at the same time) gives the player a higher speed than moving orthogonally. The sideways and forward movements are added, rather than normalized, and so you could traverse the hypotenuse in the same amount of time as traversing a leg. I know this was the case at one time in Minecraft, but not sure if it still is. Presumably they did their measurement by just facing along the hypotenuse and walking forward, but it's the sort of weird game mechanic you have to be on guard for when doing this sort of thing.
in 89.65% ‘going for a walk’ is not possible unless you want to walk in circles around your house 76km away from the first tree/park/coffee house… you may though go for a drive in a pickup :)
This doesn't prove what you're using it to prove though.

1. Jesus didn't kill anyone. It's a long leap from driving people out of a temple, to killing someone and sealing their eternal fate, potentially consigning them to hell. Same can be said for property destruction (even omitting the fact that this is a special case of property within Jesus' own house, as it were).

2. All indications point to the fact that the whip was for the animals, not the people.

3. Even if we allow that Jesus whipped the people in the temple, he whipped people who weren't attacking him. Then later he died when people did attack him. This isn't a case of self-defense.

4. Jesus' stated purpose in this situation wasn't to physically protect anyone or to right a worldly injustice, it was to protect against a harmful spiritual idea, the commercialization of worship.

5. This was taking place in the community of God. The rules are different when you're dealing with God's people; more is permitted because souls are not at stake. Scripture states that God disciplines his children, not those who aren't his children.

So, next time you're in church among believers and there are moneychangers there, feel free to drive them and their animals out with a whip. But it strains credulity to jump from this to murder.

Comparing AI models to see their cost, speed, and output
I expressed myself poorly. I implied that the plastic goods would be okay if they weren't cheaply made. I grew up in an era where stores sold furniture made of wood and steel. That was like... less than one human generation ago. So what I actually meant is: the plastic goods inherently are cheap garbage.

I've spent a lot of time in a lot of different countries/cities with wildly different economics and I have a very different view of things.

PPP in the real world is a bit of a fraud, at least in the way people commonly use it. A lot of things you compare between two countries are in fact very different in reality. You might actually end up paying a lot more in nominal dollars for a lot of things in countries which are supposedly "cheap" to get not even the same quality. I find that the cost to maintain the same quality of life between different countries ends up being much more similar between countries than the statistics would have you believe.

I'm in a relatively poor country at the moment. On paper meat costs a fraction of what it does in the US, but what you get at the local market tastes absolutely terrible, uneatable to my spoiled western standards. I think they literally feed the animals trash. To get quality meat you need to go to specialty stores in the rich neighborhoods that caters to the country's elite. There it's actually about 10% more than what I pay at a US supermarket and it still is not as good. The same thing goes for housing, household goods, clothes, etc. In many countries you pay a huge premium for goods imported from the west, and the selection is often quite limited.

This has been my experience everywhere in the world. Excluding a few cities where you pay a premium just on the basis of the local job market, you more or less get what you pay for no matter where you go. The differences that don't fit into spreadsheets are quite significant and almost fully account for the pricing differences from location to location.
World Labs was kind of laughable. But at least you laughed.

It exists in the way it does for multiple reasons in tension with one another.

If it was just trying to generate revenue for the police, it would be better at it.

Ditto, if it were just trying to make roads safer, or if its main objective was full compliance. (Which are related objectives, but not the same thing).

The reality is that political pressures exist which means neither full compliance nor the engineering interventions to make roads much safer are palatable to US voters, but there are pressures in the other direction which demand something must be done. Which is how we end up where we are.
I think what you're really getting at is that the more efficient a market it, the closer to the Pareto frontier it is, and things become competitive instead of cooperative there.
It makes me feel better to know that one of its own creators hasn’t even beaten it. I never got anywhere near even finding the amulet when I was a kid, but it didn’t make it any less fun!
I agree, YMMV. But the average software dev salary in western Europe is half what it is in the US. The guy in the US can buy better insurance than what is provided through taxes in Europe, and still have way more money to invest in their future and increase their quality of life.

I'm not sure I understand what you want, but... If want you want is a generic way to interface with a bunch of small tools that take some parameters and output some file, read on. If not, sorry.

One thing you might do is abstract over something like dat.GUI [0]

(Note: I like dat.GUI but understand it hasn't seen development lately and you might be concerned about that. In that case, substitute dat.GUI for Tweakpane [1] and the idea is still the same)

dat.GUI creates a sort of control panel with various types of inputs based on whatever you want to manipulate. Something like this [2].

The code to produce it can be abstracted quite nicely. So you could simply create a small generic script to create a panel from just a JS object with the properties you want to manipulate. You'd link this to a simple submit against your server-side binary.

Now, the only thing that remains is presenting the output. I'm guessing that today you're generating an image but in some other case your output may be a text file or something else. For a lot of things you can just relay on the browser if you output to an <iframe> and let the browser sort it. In most cases it will display it and when not, it could offer to download & save with the correct headers.

> Tech is the problem. The internet is global (or perhaps two or three regions), and winner takes all - so global value creation is being experienced everywhere, but being monetised in the US stock market.

US cultural dominance for one thing, then success begets success - lots of VC money in the US because the US is rich which gets invested which returns even more and makes it richer.

US businesses more likely to work with US suppliers, US customers more likely to buy from US businesses, then those dominant domestic positions can be used to expand globally far easier than say a Spanish firm can expand into the US.
Spaces over tabs is one I don't understand - it's the most democratic way to format code (and it saves redundant bytes of code).
this is true but less and less so… I am European living in the US for the last 30+ years. spend my summers in europe and noticing each and every year that this culture is slowly dying. playgrounds where hoards of kids used to be are mostly deserted, mobiles and social media are slowly taking over the lives of europeans too. this may be difficult to see if you are not looking hard cause european cities get A LOT more tourists than US cities (tourists are on their phones too :) )
To be clear VTI is only US stocks and VEU is everything else. It is confusing because "Vanguard Total Stock Market" contains only United States equities.
