No. And speaking of disingenuous arguments, you've made an especially absurd one here.

Linters are useful. But you're arguing that you have such complex rules that they cannot be performed by a linter and thus must be offloaded to an LLM. I think that's wrong, and it's a classical middle management mistake.

We can all agree that some rules are good. But that does not mean more rules are good, nor does it mean more complex rules are good. Not only are you integrating a whole extra system to support these linting rules, you are doing so for the sake of adding even more complex linting rules that cannot be automated in a way that prevents developer friction.
Update on the Flamanville EPR
During my Masters, one of my professors had us take turns reading everything we wrote aloud to a classmate. It sounds like a lot, but it was effective. Reading what you write aloud to another person makes you notice all kinds of things about your tone, repetition, etc that you would otherwise miss.
I think a more positive read of it is that it provides publicity for the organizations that receive money.
Neither are AAA.

Also, Factorio was crowdfunded via a kickstarter-like platform.

If this treatment is “surprising”, it might point to a unskilful way of conceptualizing the disease in the first place.

I wonder how many people make things worse for themselves by worrying that they’re going crazy, which ends up feeding the cycle.

As opposed to “What can I do with this/How can I work around it?”

Giving people agency and making them know that they don’t need to own every random voice that comes into their head is nice. Even for non-psychotic folks.
For so many things the cloud isn't really easier or cheaper, and most cloud providers stopped advertising it as such. My assumption is that cloud adoption is mainly driven by 3 forces:

- for small companies: free credits

- for large companies: moving prices as far away as possible from the deploy button, allowing dev and it to just deploy stuff without purchase orders

- self-perpetuating due to hype, cv-driven development, and ease of hiring

All of these are decent reasons, but none of them may apply to a company like fastmail
That's because in NYC, you'll get run over if you're not assertive.
They generally aren't real proposals in the first place (see hyperloop). They're usually vaporware used to frustrate a real transit proposal, analogous to e.g. deflecting proposals to move to a memory safe language by saying that you're going to use a safe subset of C++ that's going to be defined and standardised real soon now.
But what about the cost and complexity of a room with the racks and the cooling needs of running these machines? And the uninterrupted power setup? The wiring mess behind the racks.
Reminds me of this Louis CK joke:

I was on an airplane and there was high-speed Internet on the airplane. That's the newest thing that I know exists. And I'm sitting on the plane and they go, open up your laptop, you can go on the Internet.

And it's fast, and I'm watching YouTube clips. It's amazing. I'm on an airplane! And then it breaks down. And they apologize, the Internet's not working. And the guy next to me goes, 'This is bullshit.' I mean, how quickly does the world owe him something that he knew existed only 10 seconds ago?"

As stated in the book “Lessons of History,” this is what billionaires should be doing with the wealth that they’ve snatched from the poor, marginalized and unlucky.

When we started on this tech journey, the hope was for a better more equal world,

Instead we have the worst inequality since the Great Depression, mass surveillance on a global scale and the destruction of the middle class.

Inequality is a part of our society. Some are born with better genetics and opportunities in a lucky part of the world.

If you are lucky to become a billionaire your purpose is to serve humanity and redistribute that wealth to your workers and to society at large.

If not, the only eventual outcome is repression by the billionaire class or forced redistribution through violent revolution.

These are the lessons that history has taught us.

I use Fastmail for my personal mail, and I don’t regret it, but I’m not quite as sold as you are, I guess maybe because I still have a few Google work accounts I need to use. Spam filtering in Fastmail is a little worse, and the search is _terrible_. The iOS app is usable but buggy. The easy masked emails are a big win though, and setting up new domains feels like less of a hassle with FM. I don’t regret using Fastmail, and I’d use them again for my personal email, but it doesn’t feel like a slam dunk.
I miss that era!
What a gal. The world would be a much different place if we saw more of this kind of wealth transfer.
IMHO, I dont think this is her responsibility.
I'm not fastmail but this is not rocket science. Has everyone forgotten how datacentre services work in 2024?
Sure, but given the timeline, it’s unlikely the decision came about simply because he was influenced by “the Pixar guys”. I pointed out that the goal for the first NeXT computers was to be able to do wet lab simulations, and this was due to a conversation Jobs had with Paul Berg while Jobs was still at Apple. They met again after Jobs founded NeXT before drawing up the initial spec in September 1985.

More likely the decision to use Mach/BSD was because Avie Tevanian was the project lead for the operating system.

4Sight also didn’t debut until IRIX 3.0 (1987, also when it picked up the IRIX name), prior to that they used mex which I traced back as far as 1985 and prior to that I’m not sure, but I don’t think they had a window manager and it seems unlikely they would prior to 1985.

Can you give me an example of one?

Again, an example? You are suggesting for example that there is no redemption or afterlife but they convey some point?

> If the people writing them thought that was important, they would have avoided doing so- contrary to modern opinion, ancient theologians and philosophers like St. Augustine were not idiots.

Does Augustine contradict himself? In a single work (different views in different works could be a change of mind)?

Albania bans TikTok for a year after fatal stabbing of teenager last month
The poor, almost by definition, don't have enough money to snatch, as amply illustrated by the total share of tech revenue coming from Africa or ghettos in Missouri.

In the modern tech world, you become a billionaire by servicing people with enough money to afford a somewhat banal subscription or enough travel under their belt that they need something like AirBnB or TripAdvisor.

Almost all the money I ever spent on tech was from the "discretionary" part of my budget, and so did everyone in my surroundings. This may sound bad, but it is probably better than the earlier times, when money was strongly associated with mining of vital resources and similar enterprises. In some places, that still holds, and those places are (with exceptions) usually more brutal and inequal than the West.

That said, violent backlash against the rich is certainly possible, but the outcome will likely be the same as it used to - transfer of power and wealth from the capitalists to the apparatchiks of The Party that takes absolute power in the mayhem.

People like Ceausescu and Assad were far from poor. Poor elite just isn't a thing in modern civilization.
I would caution us all not to interpret this as “obese people must be corrupt” (when it’s more a discussion of correlation not causation in either direction).

My kingdom for a dataset that included more countries than just the old soviet bloc. If this correlation holds true, it would rear its head no matter the geographical region.
I did something similar with dotnet and linq. Idea was to create something like marten but for sqlite instead of postgres. Stopped working on it some time ago, the thing that was really slow was de/serialization, but with new source generators for json maybe it can be sped up.
The investors need their returns now!

Soon, all the middle class jobs will be converted to profits for the capital/data center owners, so they have to spend while they can before the economy crashes due to lack of spending.

Had a blast this lazy Sunday watching my 10-year-old create a poop tracker (his idea, poor guy has issues ;). He did all the prompting himself - I just jumped in at the end to add persistence, exports, and DB reset. Pretty wild seeing him get exactly what he imagined just by describing it. We're in the age of super personalised apps on demand.
I think calling them "demons" is part of the problem. I take my delusion as clues, psychic hints, a sort of over sensitivity and Cassandra like quality, that should be used by people without schizo. But I cannot tell you how many time sI was called stupid and crazy about my ideas on here yet I talk with research scientists on the regular.

To me Schizo is nothing more than an intensely creative mind. Why see nothing when you can see somthing?

Note that hunter gatherer genetics are linked to schizo and the idea of aa demon is a particularly Christian view of insights that do not fit the norm. More so if the ideas were coming from "pagan" people.

If Sama ever reads this, I have no idea why no users seem to focus on this, but it would be really good to prioritise being able to select which model you can use with the custom myGPTs. I know this maybe hard or not possible without recreating them , but I still dont think it's possible.

I dont think most customers realise how much better the models work with custom GPTs.
You can use the new project feature for that. That's a way of grouping conversations, adding files, etc. Should work with o1 pro as well apparently.
For a company that sees itself as the undisputed leader and that wants to raise $7 trillion to build fabs, they deserve some of the heaviest levels of scrutiny in the world.

If OpenAI's investment prospectus relies on them reaching AGI before the tech becomes commoditized, everyone is going to look for that weakness.

I find that o1 and Sonnet 3.5 are good and bad quite equally on different things. That's why I keep asking both the same coding questions.
I remember London area codes being 01 (or 0441 from USA) followed by 6 digits, so maybe 3 are missing. It would be interesting to see if that landline is still available, but with 1000 possibilities (01ABC831) maybe a google search might be the way to go.
In my deeper psychosis, asking myself “What can I do with this/How can I work around it?” is literally impossible. I am too busy running down the street secretly taking pictures of people who I think are agents from some unknown organization.

So there is a limit to this therapy.

We do the same (all requests go to o1, sonnet and gemini and we store the results for later to compare) automatically for our research: Claude always wins. Even with specific prompting on both platforms. Especially frontend it seems o1 really is terrible.

Everyone's comparing o1 and claude, but neither really work well enough to justify paying for them in my experience for coding. What I really want is a mode where they ask clarifying questions, ideally many of them, before spitting out an answer. This would greatly improve utility of producing something with more value than an auto-complete.

One use-case: They help with learning things quickly by having a chat and asking questions. And they never get tired or emotional. Tutoring 24/7.

They also generate small code or scripts, as well as automate small things, when you're not sure how, but you know there's a way. You need to ensure you have a way to verify the results.

They do language tasks like grammar-fixing, perfect translation, etc.

They're 100 times easier and faster than search engines, if you limit your uses to that.
Not to be dismissive, but you reviewed hundreds of abstracts. A top conference in this area receives hundreds to thousands of papers. So there is a non-negligible chance your submission trickles down to some PhD student who is still learning the ropes of peer review. And then, there is a non-zero chance they won't fully understand the fine print and give you a thumbs up.

Again, this does not seem the case here (this one was likely uploaded to ArXiv after being rejected) and I thnk the opposite (good papers being rejected) is way more common in academia, so I wouldn't frame it as "low standards". Just an unfortunate outcome of "publish or perish" in a conferences-first community that highly values a small subset of all venues.

It depends on the terms of what she does. Things like the gates foundation want control over what is done and provide a stream of money. That creates continuous dependence on funding.

IMO this is deliberate - it means you can "give away" the money but keep the power and the status which are the only benefits for having that much money.

The ocean would be much better place if the meat weren’t so uneven in the first place.
What we can reasonably assume from statements made by insiders:

They want a 10x improvement from scaling and a 10x improvement from data and algorithmic changes

The sources of public data are essentially tapped

Algorithmic changes will be an unknown to us until they release, but from published research this remains a steady source of improvement

Scaling seems to stall if data is limited

So with all of that taken together, the logical step is to figure out how to turn compute into better data to train on. Enter strawberry / o1, and now o3

They can throw money, time, and compute at thinking about and then generating better training data. If the belief is that N billion new tokens of high quality training data will unlock the leap in capabilities they’re looking for, then it makes sense to delay the training until that dataset is ready

With o3 now public knowledge, imagine how long it’s been churning out new thinking at expert level across every field. OpenAI’s next moat may be the best synthetic training set ever.

At this point I would guess we get 4.5 with a subset of this - some scale improvement, the algorithmic pickups since 4 was trained, and a cleaned and improved core data set but without risking leakage of the superior dataset

When 5 launches, we get to see what a fully scaled version looks like with training data that outstrips average humans in almost every problem space

Then the next o-model gets to start with that as a base and reason? Its likely to be remarkable
