Maybe GR messes this up, but at least with newtonian gravity the difference is not as stark as this comparison would imply: a 1m change in elevation is about 300ugal, while an 80kg person 1m away is about .5ugal, so still not going to show up on a 1e-18 clock, but it's pretty close.
LLMs already do play at elo ~1400-1800. The question was how does their style feels like to someone who can appreciate the difference between a human player and a chess engine (and the different styles of different human players).
By artificially recreating scarcity in virtual space and reproducing the same kind economic dynamic there, what Antonio Negri called 'symbolic production'. Think fashion brands, video game currency, IP, crypto, Clubhouse, effectively the world we're already in. There's an older essay by Zizek somewhere where he points out that this already has played out. Marx was convinced 'general intellect', what we know call the 'knowledge economy' would render traditional economics obsolete, but we just privatized knowledge and reimposed the same logic on top of it.

I'm not sure when Intel started supporting microcode updates but I think it was much later.
It reappeared as e-bikes and e-scooters - Lime, Bird, etc.
One exciting thing that could still happen in the shorter term (if/when a promising novel "high temperature superconductor" is confirmed) is an explosion of investment into research in the area. So even if it takes decades for Material X to end up in MRI machines, there would still be a steady stream of juicy progress to read about while we wait!

Well, also notice that I said "bit-flipped input." I.e., the use case I believed to be talking about and responding to was data corruption detection (which is also associated with "checksum" as a term of art, as opposed to a generic "hash"). I agree that hashing for identity is a different use case than checksumming for data integrity.

FWIW I think commonly used checksums are basically ideal ("equally likely" to come to a different value) on single-bit flipped inputs, but don't quote me on that.
Just wanted to point out for the record that the person you're replying to said "inane," not "insane." Might not have changed your reply all that much though.

IMO SpaceX is not an inane idea, though it's arguably insane from the perspective of the era when it was founded (2002-ish), but it definitely seems to have succeeded. Tesla might be in the same bucket. But everything else he's been involved with has either been a non-starter or turned to trash (see: Boring Company, Twitter, xAI, whatever the hell the flamethrower thing was, etc). My sense is that he's getting worse over time, as mental illness, delusions of grandeur, and/or yes-men he's been surrounding himself with increasingly cloud his judgement.

I think it's just not feasible to totally avoid the GC in a language such as Haskell. It's inherently involved in anything that would require heap-allocated data in C/C++, and more besides. For example, Haskell does not have a borrow checker, so it needs the GC to ensure that closures' environments will stick around for as long as they're needed. (The Rust approach is the opposite by default - the compiler errors out whenever a closure will outlive the established lifetime of its referenced environment. You can always use Rc<> or Arc<> to have multiple owners that will all keep a program object alive as needed, but it's not the default.)
In the recent past, I've accepted that all titles are not informative anymore. But that there was hope that the subtitles were actually informative (i.e. the subtitle was the real title, and the title was the clickbait).

In this article, neither is informative.

As someone who was around before WordPress existed, and witnessed all the proprietary CMS systems of the day, as well as personally building custom CMS systems professionally, it disappoints me to watch this unfold.

I used to see WordPress as an example of how open-source can be good business. Being open-source, and comparatively better then other proprietary options at the time, made WordPress an attractive option, and its user base grew rapidly. Blogging was also more popular then, although people still blog.

I think as of today there are better options then WordPress, and blogging is not the same as in the past. I think because of peoples history with products like WordPress, many people have gravitated towards static site generators.

Early on Automattic seemed like a place I might want to work, but obviously a lot that has changed since WordPress first launched. I can't see myself wanting to work there now, or wanting to use WordPress again. Not to mention I moved on from PHP a long time ago.

> me typing this right now is basically just commanding my fingers to punch out the words the voice in my head is telling me to punch out.

That sounds really annoying, but I would assume that you could transcribe what someone is saying out loud while continuing to listen? I would find that extremely difficult.

In my mind when I’m typing out letters its a little similar to those typing games[0] where you see a word and punch it down letter by letter. In my head it goes bolder when I wrote a letter of a word I’m putting down. This makes it very easy to transcribe documents - an unnecessary skill in the age of OCR. I doubt there is any other advantage of this quirk, other than it seems that spelling seems to be easier for me than others on the internet.

If I had to listen to someone I would have to pause while my brain processed it into text and only then could I continue.

This is amazing and really useful, love the idea; but let me tell you a story, it's a bit of a tangent but relevant enough:

In an online language class we were sending the assignments to our teacher via slack, the teacher would then mark our mistakes and send it back.

I, as a true hater of all the heavy weight text formats for everyday communications, autonomously fired up the terminal, wrote my assignment in my_name.md and happily sent it without giving it any thought. This is what I hear the next session:

"... and everybody did a great job! Although someone just sent me their assignment in a stupid format. I don't know what it was! I could neither highlight it or make the text bold or anything. Don't do that to me again please".

Before that I never dreamed of meeting someone who preferred a word document _after_ opening a .md file, and I also learned if I had chosen product design as a career, everyone would've suffered immensely (or maybe not, I would've just ended up jobless).
The free credit or the tokens? Because that's a very different story.
Comparative advantage. Even if AGI is better at absolutely all work the amount of work it is capable of doing is finite. So AGI will end up mostly being used for the highest value, most differentiated work it’s capable of, and it will “trade” with humans for work where humans have a lower opportunity cost, even if it would technically be better at those tasks too.

Basically the same dynamic that you see in e.g. customer support. A company’s founder is going to be better than your typical tier 1 support person at every tier 1 support task, but the founder’s time is limited and the opportunity cost of spending their time on first-contact support is high.

It was, actually, very enjoyable! When we pulled React ProseMirror[1] out of the NYT text editor, it was a pretty laborious process that we had to careful plan and execute for months, and we still ended up with an internal fork for a while.

By contrast, this was mostly just moving a file around and then writing documentation and cleaning up the public API. I rather enjoy thinking about and modeling library APIs in general, so I actually had a lot of fun with it!

Older Intel CPUs were already using microcode. Intel went after NEC with a copyright case over 8086 microcode, and after AMD with a copyright case over 287/386/486 microcode:

- https://www.upi.com/Archives/1994/03/10/Jury-backs-AMD-in-di...

I would totally believe the FDIV bug is why Intel went to a patchable microcode architecture however. See “Intel P6 Microcode Can Be Patched — Intel Discloses Details of Download Mechanism for Fixing CPU Bugs (1997)” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35934367
I don't think you've been paying attention to the industry even though your posturing like an insider.
I wish I could agree, and happy to be shot down but I am not seeing anything that is not just a re-interpretation of current facts to make history sound nicer. there has certainly been nothing uncovered this century that has changed anything and I mean anything important about the current world and the original article was about economic benefits to our country which there frankly are none. Subjective "research" IMHO is a waste of taxpayer dollars when objective research is still underfunded.

They have a paywall now, you can still view their free articles without an account.

My understanding is that most publications like this have declining financials. More competition, functional replacements in the market, declining search traffic, changing audience preferences. The pay wall is to try to re-capture some of that lost rev to keep things going. They have some free articles about this and have talked about it on their podcast.
This is pretty much entirely a GR effect, not a Newtonian effect.
Given how close the tech is to running on consumer hardware — by which I mean normal consumers not top-end MacBooks — there's a real chance that the direct ROI is going to be exactly zero within 5 years.

I say direct, because Chrome is free to users, yet clearly has a benefit to Google worth spending on both development and advertising the browser to users, and analogous profit sources may be coming to LLMs for similar reasons — you can use it locally so long as you don't mind every third paragraph being a political message sponsored by the Turquoise Party of Tumbrige Wells.
Neither they nor Elon can or should be trusted to tell the truth. The only utility this statement should have is to illustrate whatever public narrative OAI wishes to affect.
> Correct, but you as the component writer don't care. From your perspective, you are writing a purely functional component because you have no control over the injected state. So your function is "pure" with respect to the props that are passed in and the state that is injected by React. It's actually UI = F(props, state)

This is like calling the constructor of an OO class a pure function. The class constructor takes in parameters (props) and the created instances don't interfere with each other's states. With all due respect, this stretching of the definition of pure function is beyond recognition.

> * the order that your function is called somehow affects the final render. Now you need to worry about how your function is called, and with what values. Not an issue with React.

The order of the function invocations calling setXX() matters anyway in React or non-React libraries. The queued up setXX() calls pending state updates in React has an order. There's no difference in handling state update ordering between React and others.

> * the underlying state is out of sync with the UI, because you changed it but didn't trigger a re-render. Not possible in React (except for refs).

> * the internal state of the component ends up in an invalid state because of the ordering of set-state calls and renders. Again, not possible in React because all set-states are batched together and applied consistently to the next render cycle. There's no such thing as a "partial render".

Both of these are because React's inability to detect changes to state updates in a comprehensive and fine grained way.
> When Altman was collecting the award at Cambridge the other year, protesters dropped in on the after-award public talk/Q&A session, and he actively empathised with the protestors.

He always does that to give himself cover, but he has clearly shown that his words mean very little in this regard. He always dodges criticism. He used to talk about the importance of him being accountable to the OpenAI board and them being able to fire him if necessary when people were questioning the dangers of having one person have this much control over something as big as bleeding edge AI. He also used to mention how he had no direct financial interests in the company since he had no equity.

Then the board did fire him. What happened next? He came back, the board is gone, he now openly has complete control over OpenAI, and they have given him a potentially huge equity package. I really don't think Sam Altman is particularly trustworthy. He will say whatever he needs to say to get what he wants.
It's rich coming from Sam Altman -- the guy who famously tried to use regulatory capture to block everyone else.
Important context: Elon Musk's close friend from the PayPal days and fellow libertarian tech billionaire David Sacks has been selected as the Trump admin's czar for AI and crypto.

This is why OpenAI and Sam Altman are understandably concerned.
I know companies that have had layoffs - but those would have happened anyways - regular layoffs are practically demanded by the market at this point.

I know companies that have (or rather are in the process of) adopting AI into business workflows. The only companies I know of that aren't using more labor to correct their AI tools are the ones that used it pre-ChatGPT/AI Bubble. Plenty of companies have rolled out "talk to our AI" chat bubbles on their websites and users either exploit and jailbreak them to run prompts on the company's dime or generally detest them.

AI is an extremely useful tool that has been improving our lives for a long time - but we're in the middle of an absolutely bonkers level bubble that is devouring millions of dollars for projects that often lack a clear monetization plan. Even code gen seems pretty underwhelming to most of the developers I've heard from that have used it - it may very well be extremely impactful to the next generation of developers - but most current developers have already honed their skills to out-compete code gen in the low complexity problems it can competently perform.

Lots of money is entering markets - but I haven't seen real disruption.
Possibly unpopular here but how about a Discord server with a channel for every city? When you join Discord, a bot could ask which cities you want to join (allowing people who travel to join multiple cities, but maybe limit it to some sane number to prevent bots from trawling everything).

Yup, great point. Especially if you've used some tool to convert from another file, like a PDF, into an EPUB, you can easily end up with the entire book in a single XHTML file, which, again, can be pretty heavy for a browser to parse and format!

With a microcode update that ruins FDIV performance, sure. Even at that time there were CPUs still using microcoded division, like the AMD K5.
The gravitational redshift is proportional to the gravitational potential (~1/distance), not to the gravitational acceleration (~1/distance²). This suppresses the effect of small masses nearby a lot compared to the effect of the earth.

> static cling

Every burr grinder I've owned over the years (Cuisinart, De’Longhi, Braun, Black+Decker) had that awful static cling problem, although my newest, a KitchenAid KCG8433DG conical, is notably cleaner and quieter than all of the others were. For comparison, I'd like to see some real life on-the-counter evidence after a Velofuso grind.

BTW, there are a few different means of reducing static cling problems, including stirring the beans in the hopper with a moistened spoon before each run.
Personally, I forgot that Linux only fixed /dev/random in 2020 in kernel 5.6. That's not that long ago in terms of enterprise / LTS kernels. I'm sure this has been a surprising pain point for end-users for a long time, and perhaps still is in some environments.
