I like how trading cards and BTC are same category of "investment"
you won't "believe" until you study it. same in french. at the end you won't have to believe, Neo, you'll know.

it's how language works in the brain or rather, how language wires the brain, what it does "to the brain".

Chomsky isn't wrong. Bad analogy: Think of the C language and how other languages interface with it so they don't have to touch the machine code itself. Now think of proprietary and open hardware and drivers. Why Python? Why Mojo? Do you get Zig? ( I barely know any code, btw, any actual coder is more qualified to speak about a languages relation and work-asAndOnThe-bitLevel-inAndAroundTheWire-Interface than I am )

It's not _just_ grammar (vs gran'ma), tho. it's in the combo of pronunciation, "tone", (syntax and) semantics (ambiguity & conotation) and all the other stuff. levels of lexicology are elementary/fundamental, and, as far as I know, nothing comes close ( Mandarin and Japanese are THE exception ) to the amount of Russian levels ( and the combos, if you ever reach that level, which nobody has done in a loooong time. there's no official records anyway )

it's not even that crazy once you get the pattern. Russian can go "all ways" at the same time.

English & German are on another level with the former being much more permissive in terms of personality/individuality than the latter, which is why there's such an immense effort to fuck up the German language, because it's much closer to unambiguous truth/logic/ actual rationality ( not to mention super-rationality )

you'll barely find Germans with a proper command and or understanding of their own language anymore. and no, they won't turn into Hubrismen (Hybrismensch vs Übermensch) or anything like that via language alone.

thank you for 'phrasing' your ridicule as a question <3, you don't even know how awesome you might be
Only if you consider web apps have become so complex that it requires a container to wrap up the complexity.
Eradication of mosquitoes was a very popular cause in the 20th century, but the means by which that was being done caused a lot of incidental environmental damage (draining wetlands, thinning bird shells, gassing other bugs, etc) so the brakes were pulled. Since then new techniques have been developed but they need to overcome the caution people now have for the whole idea.

> If 20% of your economy is busy throwing ordnance at someone else sounds pretty unsustainable, then you are probably right.

The bigger harm Russia is putting onto itself is its inability to take part in the AI race. They've left the battle over to the US and China, while the EU at least isn't idling.

If they wouldn't have started the war and have at least pretended to be good friends, they could have used their vast amounts of energy resources to run huge datacenters (which they could then have used to start a war). Worst move ever made by a ruler.

The US and China are both profiting from this war.
> As someone living in Europe right now though I am worried.

Im optimistic, we're only one major negative event/disaster away from the EU members rallying behind the EU. It doesn't look good right now, but the right wing anti EU crowed normally aren't good at taking responsibility and they will hand over problems to Bruxelles as soon as things get a bit spicy. And I don't think the EU is too bad at making the right call, in the end.
> And most of those resulted in google searches to verify the information. But I literally could never do this before.

Could you elaborate on this? What happened before when you had that type of questions? What was stopping you from tamping "911 emergency indian reservation" into google and learning that the "Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation" has their own 911 dispatch?

In my youth, before the internet was everywhere, we were taught that we could always ask the nearest librarian and that they would help us find some useful information. The information was all there, in books, the challenge was to know which books to read. As I got older, and Google started to become more available, we were taught how to filter out bad information. The challenge shifted from finding information into how not to find misinformation.

When I hear what you say here, I'm reminded of that shift. There doesn't seem to be any fundamental change there, expect may that it makes it harder not to find misinformation by obscuring the source of the information, which I was taught was an important indicator of its legitimacy.

IMAP is absolutely terrible on unreliable connections. A connectionless protocol based on HTTP would do much better in those conditions.
Probably I misread the original announcement, but I got the impression this was a pilot to adding more rust to curl (and is exactly what a rewrite would start to look like)?
Ads in and of themselves don't mean a browser isn't privacy-focused. In fact the most privacy focused one I can think of, Duckduckgo, is monetized by ads. All of Duckduckgo is. They're just not personalized.

I think the asymmetry in payoffs explains this, since a bad actor who baits and switches their extension could do massive damage to users. So google try to catch this behaviour and inevitably have some false positives (extensions labelled malware that actually aren't). The cost of a false positive is annoyance. The cost of real malware getting through could be your bank balance.
Could equally be the case that these were coping mechanisms she was using to try to accommodate her early symptoms. The classic addiction story is that at the root of problematic alcohol or drug use there's serious trauma - frequently sexual abuse, early life neglect etc. While these things aggregate (losing her job etc), there could be a common root.

Gold is completely valid form of preserving wealth. Massive USD devaluation results is skyrocketing prices of gold. Why people think this leads to a mad max world I don't know. If USD is worthless, it just means people will start using some other currency.
Before the rest of these abuses, Honey was blatantly tracking users and selling that data, which I think is a good example of how privacy abuse is often a canary of generally immoral behavior.
Great study. Let's see if their next research can reach the same level.
It's also possible it isn't AGI hard and all you need is the ability to experiment with code along with a bit of agentic behavior.

An AI doesn't need embodiment, understanding of physics / nature, or a lot of other things. It just needs to analyze and experiment with algorithms and get us that next 100x in effective compute.

The LLMs are missing enough of the spark of creativity for this to work yet but that could be right around the corner.

Actually, I noticed in a subreddit where some commenters were labelled '1% commenter'. This gives me a completely new picture, where the '1% commenters' are given the same usual narratives on the same topics over and over. I believe that these people are real, not shit-posting, and are genuinely passionate about the topics. Nevertheless, reading the non 1% comments is also interesting.
Apple has all the information they need, available publicly, to implement an OS-wide Chromecast client. They haven't done so because they don't want to.
If you don't care if it's correct or not you can also just make the stuff up. No need to pay for AI to do it for you.
Apple could implement Cast OS-wide on iPhones if they wanted to; the information to do so is publicly available. They simply just don't want to.
"Most" is the key word here. In my experience that's also the case for LLMs.
So what IS the state of the art that's also FOSS, perhaps even as-a-library, and non-gen-AI (I'm thinking interactive/game-dev/realtime use-cases)?
> For whatever reason (maybe post 2to3 PTSD), Python community seems not extremely eager to jump on latest versions of Python

I don't think it's the 2 -> 3 thing any more, that was a while ago. Honestly there are just a lot of things that don't work well in 3.x.0 Python releases. For example, 3.12.0 had the per-interpreter GIL thing; I tried that in 3.12.0 and ran into a completely breaking issue almost immediately. They were responsive & helpful and did fix the first issue in 3.12.1, but we still had more issues with parts of the C API which seemed to work in 3.11 and better again in 3.13, but it really felt like that needed another release to solidify. (Also you can't import datetime in that setup in 3.12, which is also a pretty big deal-breaker).

I can only imagine the free-threading thing will need at least the same kind of time to work the kinks out, although it is nice to see them moving in that direction.

While my main use case for LLMs is coding just like most people here, there are lots of areas that are being ignored.

Did you know llama 3.X models have been trained as psychotherapists? It's been invaluable to dump and discuss feelings with it in ways I wouldn't trust any regular person. When real therapists also cost more than what people can afford (and will have you committed if you say the wrong thing), this ends up being a very good option.

And you know how escorts are traditionally known as therapists lite? Yeah, it works in reverse too. The main use case most are sleeping on is, well, emotional porn and erotic role play. Let me explain.

My generation (i.e. Z) doesn't do drugs, we don't drink, we don't go out. Why? Because we can hang on discord, play games, scroll tiktok and goon to our heart's content. 60% of gen Z men are single, 30% women. The loneliness epidemic hit hard along with covid. It's basically a match made in heaven for LLMs that can pretend to love you, like everything about you, ask you about your day, and of course, can sext on a superhuman level. When you're lonely enough, the fact that it's all just simulated doesn't matter one bit.

It's so interesting that the porn industry is usually on the forefront of innovation, adopting blueray and hddvd and whatnot before anyone else, but they're largely asleep on this and so is everyone else who doesn't want to touch of it with a 10ft pole. Well except maybe c.ai to some extent. The business case is there and it's a wide open market that OAI, Anthropic, Google and the rest won't ever stoop down to themselves, so the bar for entry is far lower.

Right now the best experience is known to be heading over to r/locallama by doing it yourself, but there's millions to be made for someone who improves it and figures out a platform to sell it on in the next few years. It can be done well enough with existing properly tuned, open weight, apache licensed LLMs and progress isn't stopping.

The Hindi translation of (part of) this poem is famous in its own right. It was created by Harivansh Rai Bachchan, the most famous Hindi poet of his generation and famous now as the father of Amitabh Bachchan, the actor. The poem and its translation also have a connection to India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. According to Nehru's biographer, this poem - and its Hindi translation - were among the last things that Nehru read before his death in 1967 [1]. The Hindi version is not faithful to the meter of the English verse, but it is in many ways even more beautiful, with every word being deep and sonorous; and it sounds more wonderful when read out because of rhyme and alliteration on nearly every line. The link below contains the translation, and a few notes on why it's so beautiful.

Well-known critics are valuable for two reasons, even if they have wildly different likes and preferences from me:

1. they have seen/heard a lot. A professional movie critic watches more films in a month than I have in years. That gives him opportunities to compare, or to draw connections that I cannot.

2. they are known quantities. We have a certain image of Roger Ebert (as an example) in our minds and can adjust his reviews to get closer to our hypothetical opinion about the film. Also, we get to know his mannerisms and idiosyncracies.

Nothing makes Roger Ebert a priori a better reviewer than Mike from 4chan who obsessively watches films, but having a handful of critics we recognize is more valuable w.r.t. these two points than having thousands of unknown reviewers.
Because there are still market advantages to creating and maintaining protocols that you are required to license to others.

Making everything proprietary and exclusive is not the only way to make money. And even if you can make more money that way, I don't care: corporations exist at the pleasure of the people, and we should feel free to demand whatever we want from them.
Just to note that this is even more common in gaming and Steam has developed strong countermeasures, not to outright suppress review bombing because there are legitimate cases that look similar, but to highlight it and give some options to filter it out.
JMAP uses fewer resources server-side, and with their scale, it will probably reduce operating costs. But it will depends on how much they will save compared with devel/migration costs.
AI will wipe out 80% of jobs. People will starve for employment. Unemployment rates will be highest in History, even more than war times. There will be a general purposelessness among youngsters because of this. And it will create a lot of social issues and unrest in the world
Definitely. It's a perfect mix of factors to enable dark sides of our personas. I belive everyone has certain level of near sociopathic perverse curiosity, and certain amount of need to push the limits, if there are no consequences for such behaviors. Algorithms can only affect so much. But gore sites, efukt, countless whatsapp/facebook/signal/whatever group that teens post vile things in are mostly due to childish morbid curiosity and not due to everyone being a literal psycho.

I'll take a look at the essay, thanks.

Surely a symptom of the industrio/tech induced epidemic of loneliness.

A very interesting question on the ethical side as well.

My knee-jerk reaction is that the promotion and propagation of such methods should not be allowed, as it can risk nudging vulnerable individuals the wrong way.

But if this is not allowed, why would meditation be ?

What makes it different ? Only the outcomes ?

I cannot help but to be overwhelmed by the human condition sometimes.
The way I see it they have been like that for at last a decade. Of course before the transformers revolution these were generated in a more crude way, but still the end result is 99% of Google results for any topic have been trash for me since early 200x.

Google has given up on fighting the SEO crowd long time ago. I worry they give up on the entire idea of search and will just serve answers from their LLM.

This only happens for toy examples; all real development is iterative, across years and teams. There are a few people who can do Feynman "think very hard and write down the answer", but it's a unique skill of limited availability.

> One question I have about this is why postfix notation is so unpopular versus infix or prefix, where complex expressions in postfix read more like literature where details build up to greater concepts. Is it just because of school?

Developers (you, and the rest of the audience) really need to be able to distinguish between a personal aesthetic preference and some sort of timeless truth.

> Could postfix fix the stem/humanities gap?

I feel fairly confident when anyone posts One Weird Trick nonsense like this that the answer is "no". Especially as postfix is in no way new, it's decades old.

Heck, this is also Anglocentric: there are plenty of human languages which are "postfix", in that they're subject-object-verb rather than subject-verb-object. Such as German and Japanese. Doesn't seem to convey an automatic advantage in either science or literature against the juggernaut of ubiquitous English.

(Mathematical notation tends to use infix operators for some things and prefix operators for others; postfix seems to be rarer? Mostly for units?)
Ah ive used the chatGPT iPhone app frequently as well when driving to get things done and learn things through voice chat. In doing so i want that same experience from Siri and more, but Siri is dumb as ever. She pales in comparison to an app (GPT) running on Apple's iPhone, so to me GPT has made Siri stale and boring.

I use GPT frequently and it has made me think how I want an AI Phone to be; envision what i think (its subjective) would be a new phone UX paradigm that knocks peoples socks off. Thus the iPhone is far from what I've envisioned so further & subjectively its outdated/stale/boring.

Basically you'd have the movie H.E.R. in your pocket but the facetime video you talk to is of a skin of whoever you like it to be living or deceased. Having your personal AI assistant as a deceased love one who still guides/helps you through daily life might be a game/world changing use of AI or possibly a terrible idea.
So what? This idea that every feature or protocol needs to be owned, with allowed uses dictated by some corporation is gross.
> The ability to “talk to an expert” about any topic I’m curious about and ask very specific questions has been invaluable to me.

It is dangerous to assume that LLMs are experts on any topic. With or without quotes. You are getting a super fast journalist intern with a huge memory but inability to reason critically, lacking understanding about anything and huge unreliability when it comes to answering questions (you can get completely different answers to the same question depending on how you answer it and sometimes even the same question can get you different answers). LLMs are very useful and are a true game changer. But calling that expertise is a disservice to the true experts.
Navtive FlameGraphViewer
Hello, I found that it's difficult to visualize the flamegraph out of the huge amount of data when I was profiling Rust Analyzer. Viewing the flamegraph in a browser (Firefox and Chrome) made it impossible to view. In fact, it was simply frozen. I made this visualizer to solve my problem. Maybe it would help someone else. I leave the link to my article about it, but you can find the link to the project right in the first paragraph.
