That is the goal of every single person interested in longevity.

I have heard the term "extending healthspan" and to me that's a much better explanation of what people are trying to do.
Thanks for the background. Why is shrinking the rim never considered?
The next step is going to be around liability insurance for AI agents.

That's literally the point of liability insurance -- to allow the routine use of technologies that rarely (but catastrophically) fail, by ammortizing risk over time / population.
Kind of? Right now it feels like it's glued on the side and a good proof of concept. It takes a lot more panning and zooming than it should. But it DOES work, one-way: you can see your friends' locations but they can't see yours.
How did that go for the farm workers?
I'm lumping them all in the same category tbh. They say to just use the model libraries directly or a thin abstraction layer (like litellm maybe?) if you want to keep flexibility to change models easily.

Sure, once AI can actually do a job of some sort, without assistance, that job is gone - even if the machine costs significantly more. However, it can't remotely do that now so can only help a bit.

That's the point - willingly saying that they promote spam sites to milk ad revenue could land them in antitrust trouble. But all they have to so is merely not do anything that would downrank said spam sites, and the outcome is exactly the same yet they are now legally in the clear and can just blame incompetence for the (totally predictable) outcome.
Ah, fair point.

In that case I have a theory. The extra propellant mass, extra solar panel mass, etc, are all more mass against a small amount of thrust. Every bit of additional mass extends that 1-year timeline, and all the extra stuff is extra things that might go wrong.

So instead of a 7 year mission being reduced to 18 months, we have a 7 year mission reduced to maybe 4 years, but then there's possibly a higher chance of failure.

Balancing three years against failure risk, I could see that falling on one side for some missions, and the other side for others. I'm not surprised that they pick the extra time for some missions. I am surprised that they don't pick the faster option more frequently.
Can agree. We are awaiting for a response on our DUNs number. They said we have to provide a DUNS number, which we have, and it has to be exactly 9 characters long. Ours is 10. Apple accepts it, Google does not. Even the DUNS lookup site only finds our company using the 10 characters number.

Google gives no response just extended the deadline until they remove our account for not providing the DUNs number.

Funny thing is that our number starts with a zero so theoretically it could be 9 characters long but the official lookup requires the 0 prefix
That's not the point, I think: you can implement the brain in BASIC, in theory, this does not means that the brain is per-se a BASIC program.
I'll provide a more theoretical framework for reasoning about this: if the way to solve certain problems by an NN (the learned weights) can't be translated in some normal program that DOES NOT resemble the activation of an NN, then the NNs are not algorithms, but a different computational model.
This still largely goes back to the sanitization and reffing IMO. The refs have made themselves into main characters. Techs get thrown out for almost nothing. The refs need to stop ruining moments like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_NxoC_LObU

That’s going too far. RYF certification is what you could reasonably require.
I plan to write my own GEMM implementations so I can do kernel fusion. I am using GEMM implementations from Nvidia and Intel until I have my own performant substitutes. So far, my initial attempts at writing my own GEMM implementations have not been performance competitive. Intel and Nvidia use tiling algorithms. I know (unintentionally) from profiling that Intel is doing a memcpy trick that is presumably similar to the one described here:

https://youtu.be/vPhG9KSxguM

It is also presumably similar to the packing technique mentioned here:

https://salykova.github.io/matmul-cpu

As for the annotations, some might be outdated. Much like the GPU version, I had published the CPU version at the request of another OSS developer and before I had reached the point where I would make a cleanup pass to address any stale/obsolete/missing comments. I made some effort to have good comments for my own benefit during the current stage of development, but I was not disciplined enough to make a cleanup pass unnecessary. That is partly why I claimed it is messy. I am happy to hear that they look good even before I have done a cleanup pass.

As for xb being in L3, that is part of it. I suspect that Intel has multiple threads doing “tiles” from both GEMM (GEMV in GEMM) operations in parallel and the reads and prefetches on xb are being coalesced by L3 cache. I also had the idea of adapting my handwritten matmul to operate on 2 outputs at the same time, and even tried it, but it did not work. At the time, I had thought this was sue to register spilling occurred because I ran out of ymm registers on Zen 3. Presumably, this experiment could be attempted on Zen 4 using the additional ymm registers that AVX-512 gives to AVX2.

However, two further thoughts occurred to me while writing this response. The first is that this experiment could be done on Zen 3 by doing do 6 rows at a time per matrix instead of 8. The second is that this will be throwing a larger number of parallel linear accesses at the core’s memory prefetcher than what I suspect Intel does, so this might fail to work even if the underlying idea about how Intel is getting better performance is accurate. Honestly, I had been surprised to see Zen 3 handle 9 linear accesses per loop iteration, as I had felt that doing 9 (8 rows + xb) had already been asking too much, but to my happy surprise, it was not.

Right now, some GPU-based experiments are at the top of my mental to do list. I will likely circle back to the CPU side to try to understand how to get this performance from my own GEMM/GEMV kernels at some point after doing them.

Ask HN: How to Get Fiber Installed
The only ISP we have is Cox, and they only offer Copper Cable with low speeds. I've tried filing FCC availability complaints, but they were fruitless to get Cox to install Fiber at our neighborhood. I've also attempted to do the same for ATT and another local ISP who offers Fiber within 1 mile of us without success.

Is there anything else I can try to get fiber at our house? I read about a person setting up their own ISP due to lack of Fiber accessibility, but I AFAIK there isn't government grants offering the same incentives that Michigan does. I live in Louisiana, Baton Rouge area. I've tried the T-Mobile 5G wireless internet, but the speeds are insufficient to stream 4k connect even with a cat 6 wired connection.

> Do this metaphors really help anyone? To me it only obfuscates the situation. It doesn't give me any clarity.

To be fair, leaving aside how fitting or unfitting it is, the metaphor is too kind to cause any reaction at all.

If you say "we can take a bit of technical debt to get more work done today, we can always pay it off later", people would nod and move on. The reaction you get would be, at most, on the same level as someone watching TV news about a tragedy on a different continent ("Oh no. Anyway...").

But if you say "we can cook today's meals without washing any pots/pans/spatulas/etc and save time and money that way, we can just keep doing it every day until the first roaches appear", even though the message probably gets across way more clearly, you'd get a warning to watch your language and keep it appropriate, and how dare you compare the company to such a nasty restaurant.

"Our technical debt is starting to become too much" doesn't ring the same as "there's too many roaches and they are actually starting to get in the way of our cooking".
well yeah its partially philosphical, i guess my haphazard use of language like “all” makes it more philosophical than intended.

but im getting at a few things.
one of those things is neurological. how do deductive inference constructs manifest in neurons and is it really inadvertently an inductive process that that creates deductive neural functions.

other aspect of the question i guess is more philosophical. like why does deductive inference work at all, i think clues to a potential answer to that can be seen in the mechanics of generalization of antecedents predicting(or correlating with) certain generalized consequences consistently. the brain coagulates generalized coinciding concepts by reinforcement and it recognizes or differentiates inclusive instances or excluding instances of a generalization by recognition properties that seem to gatekeep identities accordingly. its hard to explain succinctly what i mean by the latter, but im planning on writing an academic paper on that.
I'm in theater, which is challenging because we do things comparable to TV and movies, but with significant physical constraints. And costs constraints, unless you're doing a Broadway musical for which ticket prices are well over $100.

Yet people still come to my shows. I have to charge more than I want to, simply as a matter of real estate. People do still want what we can bring them live. I could not conceivably make a living at it, but there is still value in doing the work and bringing it to people.

Maybe AI will demotivate people from screens. I haven't seen a flood yet, to be sure, but we'll see.
But how do I get everyone to mirror my gigabytes of encrypted photo backups?
You've only ever seen people get upset about technical jargon they know they don't understand, but also never seen people misuse jargon wildly?

The latter in particular is how I model the mistakes LLMs made, what with them having read most things.
Apparently I need to work on my deadpan delivery.

Or just articulate things openly: we already insulate business owners from liability because we think it tunes investment incentives, and in so doing have created social entities/corporate "persons"/a kind of AI who have different incentives than most human beings but are driving important social decisions. And they've supported some astonishing cooperation which has helped produce things like the infrastructure on which we are having this conversation! But also, we have existing AIs of this kind who are already inclined to cut down the entire Amazonas forest for furnitue production because it maximizes their function.

That's not just the future we live in, that's the world we've been living in for a century or few. On one hand, industrial productivity benefits, on the other hand, it values human life and the ecology we depend on about like any other industrial input. Yet many people in the world's premier (former?) democracy repeat enthusiastic endorsements of this philosophy reducing their personal skin to little more than an industrial input: "run the government like a business."

Unless people change, we are very much on track to create a world where these dynamics (among others) of the human condition are greatly magnified by all kinds of automation technology, including AI. Probably starting with limited liability for AIs and companies employing them, possibly even statutory limits, though it's much more likely that wealthy businesses will simply be insulated with by the sheer resources they have to make sure the courts can't hold them accountable, even where we still have a judicial system that isn't willing to play calvinball for cash or catechism (which, unfortunately, does not seem to include a supreme court majority).

In short, you and I probably agree that liability for AI is important, and limited liability for it isn't good. Perhaps I am too skeptical that we can pull this off, and being optimistic would serve everyone better.
> If it's ultimately a deflationary force?

Is it?
“Artists” are not a monolith. For example, music streaming services have to spend most of their money on artists that performed many decades ago, otherwise no one will buy it. This reduces spend available for new artists.

Excessive copyright terms go from incentivizing creating art to incentivizing rent seeking. Society also spends a ton more resources litigating disputes and avoiding them.
My issue with LLMs is that you require a review-competent human in the loop, to fix confabulations.

Yes, I’m using them from time to time for research. But I’m also aware of the topics I research and see through bs. And best LLMs out there, right now, produce bs in just 3-4 paragraphs, in nicely documented areas.

A recent example is my question on how to run N vpn servers on N ips on the same eth with ip binding (in ip = out ip, instead of using a gw with the lowest metric). I had no idea but I know how networks work and the terminology. It started helping, created a namespace, set up lo, set up two interfaces for inner and outer routing and then made a couple of crucial mistakes that couldn’t be detected or fixed by someone even a little clueless (in routing setup for outgoing traffic). I didn’t even argue and just asked what that does wrt my task, and that started the classic “oh wait, sorry, here’s more bs” loop that never ended.

Eventually I distilled the general idea and found an article that AI very likely learned from, cause it was the same code almost verbatim, but without mistakes.

Does that count as helping? Idk, probably yes. But I know that examples like this show that you cannot not only leave an LLM unsupervised for any non-trivial question, but have to leave a competent role in the loop.

I think the programming community is just blinded by LLMs succeeding in writing kilometers of untalented react/jsx/etc crap that has no complexity or competence in it apart from repeating “do like this” patterns and literally millions of examples, so noise cannot hit through that “protection”. Everything else suffers from LLMs adding inevitable noise into what they learned from a couple of sources. The problem here, as I understand it, is that only specific programmer roles and s{c,p}ammers (ironically) write the same crap again and again millions of times, other info usually exists in only a few important sources and blog posts, and only a few of those are full and have good explanations.

Your framing was disingenuous, straight up -- it was a baiting question in the classic mold -- and that's why it was necessary to shut it down.

When you start a question with "Surely you will admit ...", it presupposes a certain aura of doubt or guilt on the part of the person that you're addressing (as if you think there's grounds to believe they would be reluctant to give a normal, sensible answer to that question). You also buttered up your inquest with excessive detail, as if you thought the person you were addressing it to would be ignorant of (or in denial about) the events of that day.

No one needs to answer questions like this.

Always telling to see ...

I find the bullshit insinuation of antisemitism that you're making here (on a public discussion forum, no less) to be rather insulting, actually.
> Are you extending the healthy, active period, or just dragging out that bit at the end when someone else has to wipe your bottom and feed you apple sauce?

It's always both. Mortality isn't an independent counter, it's linked to a bunch of predictors that are also predictors of health and autonomy.

In other words, if you "eat the other half", you won't just die younger, you'll also start eating applesauce sooner.
It's too bad that stardom still generally requires being promoted by one of a handful of corporations. It's not impossible to get there without them, but the result is that we still end up concentrating most of the wealth on a tiny number of artists, while a vast number of equal talents go under-used and under-compensated.
While I have a lot of respect for Charlie, and I think this type of reaction is probably good as a way to create some attention and pressure, in practice my bet is this will end up mostly being a non-event for most people.

It's still a bad law, though, and a great recipe for selective enforcement, so the more people who do take it seriously, the better.

This will lead people to treat each other worse because of being jaded by talking to bots all the time.

Now two questions popped in my head:

1 - Some non-statin antichilesterol drugs work by preventing reabsorption of bile acids, causing them to pass through the bowels. Can this have the positive side-effect of making lithocholic acid precursors more available to the gut flora downstream? See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile_acid_sequestrant

2 - Does this affect those who underwent surgery to remove the gallbladder? Say, making caloric restriction more or less effective for this population.
There's more to it than that. Many responsible historians have looked into the question of why the Allies found it necessary to make a point of deliberately targeting civilians during the strategic campaign (while not even attempting to target the actual killing machinery of the Final Solution itself). The bombings were really quite horrific, too. Dresden was by no means an outlier, in this regard.

But if you want just say that this investigation is just all retarded, then that's your right I guess.
> Keep looking for dividing lines in the external and you’ll always find them. But the problem is in the human heart.

Yes, the problem is in the human heart, but I'm not in charge of the petrochemical industry that is polluting the planet, nor am I an oppressor causing misery for the poor or folks of other ethnicities or cultures.

History has taught us enough about what other folks are capable of when their hearts are tuned against universal compassion, for me to know whom to keep a careful eye on.
