As a longtime NeXTSTEP user, I still remember the first time I perused the filesystem of Mac OS X 10.0 (Cheetah) in 2001. And I distinctly remember thinking to myself that Apple basically took NeXTSTEP and slapped their own window manager and app framework on it only. The filesystem and toolset was nearly identical, and I even found several config files (I don't remember which ones) that still had NeXTSTEP listed in the comments.

As I evolved to develop iOS apps in the 2010s, NSObject (NS=NeXTSTEP) continued to be a reminder of this same lineage.
Not exactly...

The App Store install what you would install through .dmg or .pkg. This is, if you install, for example, Android Studio, Docker and UTM, you will have three QEMU executables, one for each app.

Homebrew does quite a good job as a package manager for Mac, however, it's far from how the package managers work in Linux distros. For example, by running ``sudo pacman -Syu`` I upgrade everything that is installed, including the kernel, standard libraries, Python packages, language packages, manpages and so on. In Mac, I have to upgrade the system through system updates, homebrew packages through ``brew upgrade``, Python packages through pip, the App Store installed stuff through App Store and the manually installed apps through whatever the way they are upgraded.
That's what disk encryption is for.
That’s an interesting idea. What if OpenAI funded medical research initiatives in exchange for exclusive training rights on the research.
Good that we already have AGI in o3.
I understand your skepticism and discomfort, and also agree that an LLM should not replace a human code reviewer.

I would encourage you to try one (nearly all including ours have a free trial).

When done right, they serve as a solid first pass and surface things that warrant a second look. Repeated code where there should be an abstraction, inconsistent patterns from other similar code elsewhere in the codebase, etc. Things that linters can’t do.

Would you not want your coworkers to have AI look at their PRs, have them address the relevant comments, and then pass it to you for review?
Multibrand retail should be about curation, and a shop that does little more than open boxes is not worth supporting, I'll grant you that.

Your list is good, but how many are vulnerable to competition from online ?
we JUST saw in the election few months ago that Kamala’s 1.6bn dollars spent wasn’t enough - you cannot just buy the election, you need money but you also need other things…
I’m curious how, if at all, the plan to get around compounding bias in synthetic data generated by models trained in synthetic data.
> I finally did this by letting go of my perfectionism but I don't want to let go of improvement.

I tend to have similar issues, where trying to perfect things lead to a complete arrest of progress. The advice I want to give myself is to always try to improve, to but improve on what I wrote 4 months ago, not 4 minutes ago. If I focus on analyzing and improving stuff that I'm not actively writing today, hopefully that allows what I write today to not become an obstacle to writing more today.
Love this. Thanks!
Well, yeah. YC doesn't invest in charity, it invests in things that will have big impacts. YC's raison d'être is finding situations where their impact creates positive wealth-generating feedback loops. Charity is explicitly not about doing that.

Without the wealth feedback loop part, small amounts of money don't do much.
You are stretching the meaning of "poor" if you call non-unionized tech employees or US farmers "poor people". They aren't as rich as Bezos is, but "poor" is something very different.

Amazon warehouse workers are closer to the definition of "poor", but they will likely be replaced by robots fully anyway. Which I would say is good, because putting stuff into boxes for hours is arduous work that is suitable for machines, not humans.

Amazon destroying small businesses is somewhat similar to e-mail destroying telegraph, an almost inevitable development stemming from the technology. Even in Europe, where we don't have one big Amazon, there are obvious advantages to several big online retailers that operate on economies of scale. Customers prefer lower prices, and that includes poor customers.
Everything I described in my comment.
Maybe I don't, but the solution for that is to destroy what they have, not torture myself by making myself store and know more about myself.

I am not a company. As a human, my needs are different.
That is incredible. So low over the water, with missile inbound. Those aviators are lucky to be alive.

Last time an American war plane was shot down by a missile fired from the ship was in Vietnam!
Best Region for AI and Entrepreneurship?
I'm moving to the Bay to explore opportunities in AI.

In terms of meeting people and being around the most entrepreneurial energy and knowledge flow, what is better; living somewhere in SF proper, or the South Bay/Peninsula?
I guess the first question is “what do you really mean by improve your writing?”

You might mean “make it easier to read” or you might mean “make it better for capturing and recording my ideas for future reference” but I suspect given you’ve linked to a blog you probably mean “build an audience”.

Which then leads into “why do you want to build an audience” and “what ideas do you have that are worth sharing” and “why would people even care?”

There is a lot of bad writing out there. Generic “thought leadership” nonsense that says little but takes a lot of time and space to say it. Think the awful recipe preamble that food influencers churn out, but for “business writing”.

The best writing has something interesting to say, but doesn’t need to be original, and has its own very clear tone of voice.

The thing that will have the most impact on improving the way you write is to know who your audience is, and why they read your content, or why you hope they will read your content. If you’re writing without an audience or objective in mind then your writing will have less direction and will fundamentally be written for an audience of one: you.

Over time your audience should be able to recognise your content by its style, structure and tone of voice.

So you need to decide how you want to communicate (vocabulary, structure, length) and how you want people to read. The best writing is writing that people will enjoy reading whatever the subject; as an author that works for you because it means that the ideas you are communicating reach more people and might provoke more interesting responses.

A big part of this is writing and workshopping and editing and rewriting.

The power of prosody - the rhythm and intonation of writing - is often underlooked by inexperienced writers and it why talented writers often get very upset when their writing is badly edited.

The British food critic Giles Coren is notorious for this, once laying into subeditors, saying “I have never ended on an unstressed syllable”.

Coming up with “set pieces” can be a good way to develop style, tone and personality in your writing. For example, if your write the same thing every few weeks - such and such company has released its quarterly earnings - you may find that the “templated” nature of what you are working with means that you are able to write better within those constraints, allowing (or forcing!) you to develop a unique style and tone.

What I found spectacularly interesting (and no one else) was the long forgotten spectacle of professional writers hating on the PICS3 content rating system.

To butcher the spec:

(Not getting into the logistics to much) You could create your own rating service or use a 3rd party rating service. You could use the rating service to rate things you've found online or use it to rate your own content. You were free to use whatever scale and units of rating you could imagine. Say Mormonity, Alienness, article length, grammar how javascript the article is or the spagetticodiness. A demo site rated by canadianness. Then you could aggregate those into ratings for the author or the website or create a dedicated rating system to fit.

Apparently a lot of accomplished writers hated nothing more than to be exposed to crowd sourced ratings. The writing was most unprofessional and full of nonsense like associating the protocol with parental oversight and the great wall of china.

Ironically the parental oversight industrial complex were the only one to embrace the protocol. With all the free advertisement they had a good thing going for them. It was even implemented in Internet exploder.

Meanwhile, as an unaccomplished writer universally not liked by readers, I wondered what kind of www we could have had. In stead we got mega corp automatons to select content for us by useless nonsensical metrics with a memory hole design to trash everything older than 5 minutes.

The fun seems to be in crudely rating things and getting less crude results. I would love to be a 10 out of 100 technology blogger with a complexity of 23 out of 100, a sarcasm score of 87.6 out of 99 and 76 accuracy out of 100.0001

I think LLM's could actually rate consistently and rather accurately by whatever words one provides. Say, hackernewsiness, educationalness or boomerishness.
> Intelligent people

This point is worth elaborating.

Select on more than "intelligence". Plenty of intelligent people write
complete rot.

Trust your feelings [0] and feed your hunger for satisfaction from
reading. "AI" slop, formulaic performance language like overly
academic, too-perfectly structured, or corporate tripe, likewise
bleeds into and corrupts your soul. Good writing makes effortless
reading and the words pull you along with delight, If not, stop.

[0] we actually read many lines ahead of where our eyes scan, so long
before the words are internally "verbalised" you'll get a feeling
about it. Pay attention to that.
War, Bureaucracy, and Divine Commerce
Yes, almost always.

So very, very easy for them to be the problem. As 'middle managers' they are answerable to neither the customer nor the investors. They float rootless within a larger organization. Their career goal is then defined as 'meet objectives within budget'. The natural human response to that is

Minimize objectives

Maximize budget

These goals do not align with the investors' nor the customers' interests.
I was a witness in court last week and it was said that I was a computer whiz for knowing how to play the mp4 file on the thumb drive.

And then later that was used against me to accuse me of lying about not knowing how to check the voicemail on my landline.
No, people who say "it's bullshit" and then do something to fix the bullshit are the ones that push technology forward. Most people who say "it's bullshit" instantly when something isn't perfect for exactly what they want right now are just whingers and will never contribute anything except unconstructive criticism.
You lost me at the end there.

These statistical models don’t generalize well to out of distribution data. If you accept that as a fact, then you must accept that these statistical models are not the path to AGI.
"Their minds are confused by confusion." --Bob Marley

Most people remain willfully ignorant of their spiritual potential to self-evolve, so sometimes they behave well and other times less so. We must eacho choose to wake from our unconsciousness and consciously embark upon the road to compassion, for there resides our peace and happiness, both individually and collectively.
Just tell it to do that and it will. Whenever I ask an AI for something and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have all the context I literally just say "ask me clarifying questions until you have enough information to do a great job on this."
Their parents can't afford to spend $3 on a child for a one-off vaccine. Frankly I don't think dying of malaria is actually the biggest problem with this story - it is the birth-life-death in abject poverty. If they don't die of malaria then they are going to live with nothing (and probably die of something else horrible I would suspect).

The actual solution to this sort of problem is what China did - lots of sweatshop labour, slowly scaling up the business opportunities into higher value sectors to the point where they're starting to look quite competitive against European lifestyles. Charity doesn't cut it for getting big fractions of humanity from poverty into the middle class. Then they don't need some billionaire's charity to give them $3 for vaccines. They have incomes of a few thousand dollars and can afford their own medical treatment.
Revolution means pretty literally "turn something around".

Which a first actual large-scale deployment of something fulfills, but isolated experiments don't.

Was Falcon 9 revolutionary? For me, absolutely, because it was the first widely deployed rocket that made partial reuse economical, and thus enabled projects such as Starlink.

We can call the previous small-scale experiments bold or maybe groundbreaking, but there was no revolution achieved.
A friend of mine co-runs a semi-popular semi-niche news site (for now more than a decade), and complains that recently traffic rose with bots masquerading as humans.

How would they know? Well, because Google, in its omniscience, started to downrank them for faking views with bots (which they do not do): it shows bot percentage in traffic stats, and it skyrocketed relative to non-bot traffic (which is now less than 50%) as they started to fall from the front page (feeding the vicious circle). Presumably, Google does not know or care it is a bot when it serves ads, but correlates it later with the metrics it has from other sites that use GA or ads.

Or, perhaps, Google spots the same anomalies that my friend (an old school sysadmin who pays attention to logs) did, such as the increase of traffic along with never seen before popularity among iPhone users (who are so tech savvy that they apparently do not require CSS), or users from Dallas who famously love their QQBrowser. I’m not going to list all telltale signs as the crowd here is too hype on LLMs (which is our going theory so far, it is very timely), but my friend hopes Google learns them quickly.

These newcomers usually fake UA, use inconspicuous Western IPs (requests from Baidu/Tencent data center ranges do sign themselves as bots in UA), ignore robots.txt and load many pages very quickly.

I would assume bot traffic increase would apply to feeds, since they are of as much use for LLM training purposes.

My friend does not actually engage in stringent filtering like Rachel does, but I wonder how soon it becomes actually infeasible to operate a website with actual original content (which my friend co-writes) without either that or resorting to Cloudflare or the like for protection because of the domination of these creepy-crawlies.

Edit: Google already downranked them, not threatened to downrank. Also, traffic rose but did not skyrocket, but relative amount of bot traffic skyrocketed. (Presumably without downranking the traffic would actually skyrocket.)
These studies simply aren’t nuanced enough for me. I want to give my 6 year old a phone that can do one thing only: call me, my wife or 911. No browser or any other app. Is that bad? Is the issue when they can communicate with friends? Is it social media? Email? The browser?
I spent my civil service as a paramedic assistent at the countryside, close to a mountainroad that was very popular with bikers. I was never interested in motorbikes in the first place, but the gruesome accidents I've witnessed turned me off for good.
One of my "priors" is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. There's no real evidence at all in that article, just a wobbly pile of theories building on theories.
It would be orders of magnitude cheaper to outsource to humans.
MSP430 are pretty much legacy (exception: the MSP430FR has its niche) since ST released the STM32U0.
The problem is mostly that some structure that looks good at start, looks bad after a while of using.

Maybe the first data was on postit notes. As the pandamic kept returning in waves, they thought they could use data in excel with new dates per row. Then new beta, delta,... variants emerged and they ran out of horizontal screen real estate.
Interesting.

Normally, films use deliberately fictious numbers, e.g. in the US it's always xxx555xxxxxx. Wikipedia says the UK uses various area codes for the same thing, including 011x and 01x1. The Pink Floyd number is a bit unusual---it's not made up.

According to a previous analysis, the call was the album's "Chief Engineer James Guthrie who called his own London apartment", with a neighbour answering the phone. Someone probably knows roughly where James Guthrie lived in 1979/1980 and what the area code there was. But I don't.
Many people probably do this already, somewhat intuitively. If you look around, descriptions of such problems and similar advice is found in many contemplative traditions. I've heard an sermon recently that was named something like "pay no mind to the evil thoughts". Now in the tradition of that priest (mainstream/Orthodox Christianity) they overly attribute some things to demons, but you'll find similar advice elsewhere without that baggage.

It is nice to see it in secular medicine as well, though.

Your logic seems to boil to “Person A is a bully, so let’s bring a bigger bully, aka Person B, to bully A”.

Nobody (other than billionaires) is happy with congress, their approval rating is the lowest it has ever been. That doesn’t mean we want one man to bully them, especially one as dumb and vile as Musk.

The right way to fight back is by peaceful protests, voting corrupt officials out etc.

If rates of psychosis are going up, why? It seems very worrying when rates of depression, suicide, psychosis, and other mental illnesses are increasing with what seems like no understanding of why or what to do to prevent the increase.
That OP is twisting this as hard as they can, into a show of 'Ukrainian weakness'. Apparently, deploying a new battle technique can be slammed as desperate.

> Productivity gains increase the standard of living for everyone

This just isn’t true, necessarily.
Productivity has gone up in the US since the 80s, but wages have not. Costs have, though.

What increases standards of living for everyone is social programs like public health and education. Affordable housing and adult-education and job hunting programs.

Not the rate at which money is gathered by corporations.
Looks interesting. I am wondering if I could get this to run with F5 XC

Correct. I do not use or recommend proprietary tools for any system a user needs to be able to trust. There are always alternatives.
Meta doesn’t have close to 100k developers.
Most of these people are forced to take these jobs, because nothing else is available, they don't have the power to avoid this job. You cannot make a principled decision if your basic needs, or those of your family are not met. In fact, many well-off, privileged people who are simply stressed cannot make principled decisions if their livelihood is at stake.

The world is not a tabula rasa where every decision is made in isolation, you can't just treat this like a high school debate team exercise.

Not acknowledging the social factors at play is bordering on bad faith in this case. The social conditions of the moderators is _the_ key factor in this discussion. The poorer you are, the more likely you are to be forced to take a moderator job, the more likely you are to get PTSD. Our social and economic systems are essentially punishing people for being poor.
She worked briefly at Amazon, and she was an accountant. She did not work on critical technology, logistics, growth strategy, design, or operations. There is no world in which she deserves, by dint of her contributions, anything more than $1B.

You're correct that she is LEGALLY entitled to half, but that doesn't make it right. People can LEGALLY traffic slaves in Yemen, but I'm going to guess you won't be advocating for the God-given right of Akhmed to sell laborers to UAE real estate development companies?
In my experience, there's very little correlation. I've been on projects with 1 deployment every six weeks, and there were just as many production incidents as projects with daily deployments.
This is so cool! I've never played on a website like this before.
Making money, itself, is not the problem. How and why one makes it determine the results of every endeavor.

Efficiencies do help us all, but they must not come at a harmful cost to the cogs in the wheels.
You are discounting the complexity of the logistics required for an AK47 army. You need ammo, spare parts, lubricant and cleaning tools. You need a factory to build the weapon, and churn out ammunition.

Or, gather a group of people, tell them to find a rock, and go bash the other sides head.
Not as sexy to investors though

I once hired a writing coach for a bit and it improved my writing immensely. There’s no better way to get real, unadulterated feedback on your writing.
That was puzzles me now. Everyone with a semblance of expertise in engineering knows that if you start with a tool and try to find a problem it could solve you are doing it wrong. The right way is the opposite - you start with a problem, and find the best tool to solve it, and if it's the new shiny tool - so be it, but most of the time it's not.

Except the whole tech world starting with the CEOs seems to do it the "wrong" way with LLMs. People and whole companies are encouraged to find what these things might be actually useful for.
This has little bearing on desktop software, which usually doesn't go through the App Store. Apple does not (yet?) require review for traditionally distributed desktop app bundles or executable binaries. The developer fee is paid in that case just to get a signing certificate. The increasing number of hoops necessary to get unsigned things to run seems to just be funneling more developers into paying up and becoming beholden to Apple so they can stop the nagging of their users.
Cool drawing but where is the explanation of it? I guess this is really a book ad.
