I _really_ don't want to and have been dragging my feet, but I think I'll finally research AI-based development tools. If they truly are sticking around, I'd rather not be a luddite, but I'm still not so sure.

That's right. Who cares about pains of others and why they even should are absolutely words to live by.
I agree for RAM, but not for flash storage. The competition usually has as-good or even better flash throughput and IOs/second.

The reason people are aggrieved by Apple’s storage upgrade prices is that you can usually buy a high-end, entire NVMe device of a given capacity for less than Apple charges just for the upgrade to that capacity, and the NVMe will be as fast or faster than Apple’s offering.
Banning discussion of vaccines seems contrary to taking personal responsibility. If I don't know the facts (I'm not a medical professional or a virologist) I need to consult with an expert. I can't make a decision about my health this way. This is against conservative doctrine.

I guess the author must have missed out large part of the drama.
Like when you type something into the chat gpt app I am guessing it will start by preprocessing your input, doing some sanity checks, making sure it doesn’t say “how do I build a bomb?” or whatever. It may or may not alter/clean up your input before sending it to the model for processing. Once processed, there’s probably dozens of services it goes through to detect if the output is racist, somehow actually contained a bomb recipe, or maybe copywriter material, normal pattern matching stuff, maybe some advanced stuff like sentiment analysis to see if the output is bad mouthing Trump or something, and it might either alter the output or simply try again.

I’m wondering when you strip out all that “extra” non-model pre and post processing, if there’s someway to measure performance of that.
I think at the end of the day, the best we can hopefully for is that only one or two people grab the valuables inside, then everyone else realizes the curse is no joke and tosses the crate back into the ground.

No one writes a "complete program" these days. Things just keep evolving forever. I spent way too much time I care to admit dealing with dependencies of libraries which change seemingly on a daily basis these days. These predictions are so far off reality it makes me wonder if the people making them have ever written any code in their life.
They don’t even support businesses. We pay for whatever the highest tier of support is.

We have been emailing our TAM (or whatever Google calls them) for weeks (and opening tickets)

They keep giving us the same fucking documentation link.

Literally useless.

Another instance we were using code from their docs and they refused to help saying they don’t look at code ever
Shame that you can't probably open-source this, that would have been a hugely impressive case study.

And yeah, out of all the LLMs, it seems that Claude is the best when it comes to programming.
Non centralized proof of ownership is pretty cool.

Why is it legal for the consumer to be on the hook for mistakes by the company? They did not move the customer to the right plan, put them on a service he didn't ask for and now customer's the one who has to pay for it? Seems like many companies could just do this and inflate their earnings.
Intelligence comes in many forms and flavors. ARC prize questions are just one version of it -- perhaps measuring more human-like pattern recognition than true intelligence.

Can machines be more human-like in their pattern recognition? O3 met this need today.

While this is some form of accomplishment, it's nowhere near the scientific and engineering problem solving needed to call something truly artificial (human-like) intelligent.

What’s exciting is that these reasoning models are making significant strides in tackling eng and scientific problem-solving. Solving the ARC challenge seems almost trivial in comparison to that.

The timescale you are describing for 3D graphics is 4 years from the 1997 cover you posted to the release of Halo which you are saying plateaued excitement because it got advanced enough.

An almost infinitesimally small amount of time in terms of history human development and you are mocking the magazine being excited for the advancement because it was... 4 years yearly?

> If I do program, it's purely as a hobby, while professionally, I only work on scripts and automation.

I've always find it strange about the exclusion of "scripting" from programming. Scripts are programs, writing script is programming.
And do regularly call in for a discount or fee revision. A few years ago AT&T credited me over $700 for years of over-charging for an improperly disconnected line. I got the refund after about an hour of calling and trying to just get a cheaper plan. You probably don’t want to trust AT&T, but if you pay them remember to treat them as “efficiently” as they do you.
For software written in that era currently under maintenance mode, I don't expect people to upgrade their java language version though upgrading their JVM is a good idea.

I think he was spot on why this generation can't see past the last scroll or click. They don't have perspective because they have not been bred to have it. It's very sad.

You should use freeze files. Whatever language you are using, you should specify your dependencies on the loosest way possible, and use freeze files to pin them down.

The only difference from one language to another is that some make this mandatory, while in others it's only something that you should really do and there isn't any other real option you should consider.
Again, you’re assuming product complexity won’t grow as a result of new AI tools.

3 decades ago you needed a big team to create the type of video games that one person can probably make on their own today in their spare time with modern tools.

But now modern tools have been used to make even more complicated games that require more massive teams than ever and huge amounts of money. One person has no hope of replicating that now, but maybe in the future with AI they can. And then the AAA games will be even more advanced.

It will be similar with other software.
In the age of fentanyl I am not at all surprised by this news. The age of experimentation is waning when you can't be sure that your substance is genuine and the cost of being wrong could be your life. If I were a young person today I probably wouldn't even touch anything powdered or pressed.
>It is silly, the logic is the same: "Only a (world-altering) 'AGI' could do [test]" -> test is passed -> no (world-altering) 'AGI' -> conclude that [test] is not a sufficient test for (world-altering) 'AGI' -> chase new benchmark.

Basically nobody today thinks beating a single benchmark and nothing else will make you a General Intelligence. As you've already pointed out out, even the maintainers of ARC-AGI do not think this.

>If you want to play games about how to define AGI go ahead.

I'm not playing any games. ENIAC cannot do 99% of the things people use computers to do today and yet barely anybody will tell you it wasn't the first general purpose computer.

On the contrary, it is people who seem to think "General" is a moniker for everything under the sun (and then some) that are playing games with definitions.

>People have been claiming for years that we've already reached AGI and with every improvement they have to bizarrely claim anew that now we've really achieved AGI.

Who are these people ? Do you have any examples at all. Genuine question

>But after a few months people realize it still doesn't do what you would expect of an AGI and so you chase some new benchmark ("just one more eval").

What do you expect from 'AGI'? Everybody seems to have different expectations, much of it rooted in science fiction and not even reality, so this is a moot point. What exactly is World Altering to you ? Genuinely, do you even have anything other than a "I'll know it when i see it ?"

If you introduce technology most people adopt, is that world altering or are you waiting for Skynet ?
That's fair. Well, I've written a lot of code. But anyway, I do want to emphasize the following. I am not making the same prediction as some that say AI can replace a programmer. Instead, I am saying: combination of AI plus programmers will reduce the need for the number or programmers, and hence allow the software industry to exist with far fewer people, with the lucky ones accumulating even more wealth.
Somehow Google and other tech companies are not required to have a customer service that actually solves the legitimate problems customers have with their services. I wonder how they are allowed to do this not just in the US but across the world.
That might be worse - if the autopay amount is even a few dollars over what you put into the separate account, you'll be on the hook for an overdraft fee, which you _definitely_ won't be able to recover.
AdS/CFT is already an example of an approach to gravity yielding an approach to strongly coupled field theories.
But if you go that way you get so yeah the Nazi's committed genocide but so did their opponents so it doesn't really matter.

I don't think that follows. In terms of implying the "so they're all basically the same, and the distinction doesn't really matter" part. On its own terms, the definition just doesn't do that.

Granted, some (many) people might think that way, but I think that's a subset of the broader problem of people being hopelessly caught up in muddled thinking patterns generally, these days.

Maybe we need a new term for excessive killing of civilians but short of trying to wipe out a whole people.

"Partial genocide," "smaller-scale", "mini" etc would seem to do the trick. But unfortunately boring language of that sort doesn't trigger people's dopamine levels, and so content discussing recent events in these more measured tones doesn't get promoted and shared as often.

(BTW, the genocide definition under discussion refers not just to "excessive" killings of civilians, but the specific targeting of civilians of a particular group. If the Allies had only targeted military facilities, even with the greatly more imprecise munitions in use at the time, then it would be much more difficult to say that these bombings were "genocidal". It's the fact that the Allies deliberately targeted residential areas, at a massive scale and with the specific intent of spreading terror in the civilian population, which made these bombings arguably genocidal).
I disagree, from a certain point of view. Consider the CDN. One customers downtime is the IRS’s filing date. The IRS’s slow time is during the Super Bowl. The NFL’s season of rest is baseball season. Baseball goes dark on cyber Monday.

When should the CDN undertake updates? Continuously.

(Obviously I do get your main point: the NFL should not upgrade at halftime of the Super Bowl. But there is a time and a place for different models.)
Can’t they just let some dude use the gel on their head to test it out? Should be very easy to verify it works on humans as well.
It's the least interesting benchmark for language models among all they've released, especially now that we already had a large jump in its best scores this year. It might be more useful as a multimodal reasoning task since it clearly involves visual elements, but with o3 already performing so well, this has proven unnecessary. ARC-AGI served a very specific purpose well: showcasing tasks where humans easily outperformed language models, so these simple puzzles had their uses. But tasks like proving math theorems or programming are far more impactful.
It is statistically accurate in my estimation. It may be disconcerting to some, but no one ever said the truth will be pleasant. It is not intended to be universal, as individuals can vary.
No. The Peter Principle states that in a hierarchical organization, everyone gets promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. This means we could conclude that if someone has stopped being promoted, they are incompetent in their current position.

However, if we assume that promotions are generally given to the most competent individuals within a group, then ultimately, while such a person may be incompetent, they will still be the least incompetent option compared to others.
For you. My recommendations are tech videos, documentaries and good music. I find YouTube to have a great recommendation engine. I do use ublock origin.
Assuming what you've written is accurate:

The first and best solution is to help these people improve, obviously. You've tried that, but it's not working quickly enough. (People can always be coached; some are just more coachable than others. When I hear that someone "isn't learning," that always reads to me as someone who's "learning more slowly than I have patience for.")

Then, the second-best solution is for management to move people around to other teams, or out of the company. Unfortunately, that's difficult and slow - and sometimes impossible, depending on the company culture or regulations.

Then, the third-best solution: move yourself to an environment with "better" people in it. This also may not be possible or desirable; job changes are difficult and can be risky.

So, the fourth-best (but most common) solution: make your peace with the situation by finding ways to become comfortable with the gap between your expectations of your colleagues and their actual performance.

Some strategies:

- Remind yourself that "the company pays me well to put up with this." (And if the company doesn't pay you well enough to make it worth it, then yes, absolutely leave. I assume Microsoft pays you well though.)

- Dig deep to find out what frustrates you about working with these people, and address those concerns instead. Are you frustrated because these people increase your workload? Are you worried that their lack of quality work will reflect poorly on you? Do you worry that they will compromise work that you care about? These are all insecurities that can be addressed.

- Remember that intelligence is not linear; nobody is strictly smarter than somebody else in every aspect of life. These people may be good at parts of their jobs that you don't see, in which case your expectations of these people may be what needs to change.
I wonder if this still works, but I bought a chrome book for account creation. If you factory reset it each time you can make a generous amount of google accounts before it becomes locked up. Not sure if this still works.
If you want to get technical, doesn’t it? When some particular variety of thing is popular across all human cultures, doesn’t this point to it addressing some deep desire we might put on mazlow’s? What distinguishes a deep, innate human desire from a need?

I won't be as brutal in my wording, but I agree with the sentiment. This was something drilled into me as someone with a hobby in PC Gaming and Photography: benchmarks, while handy measures of potential capabilities, are not guarantees of real world performance. Very few PC gamers completely reinstall the OS before benchmarking to remove all potential cruft or performance impacts, just as very few photographers exclusively take photos of test materials.

While I appreciate the benchmark and its goals (not to mention the puzzles - I quite enjoy figuring them out), successfully passing this benchmark does not demonstrate or guarantee real world capabilities or performance. This is why I increasingly side-eye this field and its obsession with constantly passing benchmarks and then moving the goal posts to a newer, harder benchmark that claims to be a better simulation of human capabilities than the last one: it reeks of squandered capital and a lack of a viable/profitable product, at least to my sniff test. Rather than simply capitalize on their actual accomplishments (which LLMs are - natural language interaction is huge!), they're trying to prove to Capital that with a few (hundred) billion more in investments, they can make AGI out of this and replace all those expensive humans.

They've built the most advanced prediction engines ever conceived, and insist they're best used to replace labor. I'm not sure how they reached that conclusion, but considering even their own models refute this use case for LLMs, I doubt their execution ability on that lofty promise.
Is the Cybersecurity Fabric an open standard? I didn't see any licenses in the Github repository. Is Tidecloak just an implementation of an open protocol? Or is it entirely proprietary?
Something like that would be nice - self-driving cabs for last-mile journeys make sense for areas that are hard to serve otherwise, though funny enough you just described my exact commute, except that I use a rental bike (ov-fiets) between the station and work.

yeah its not a 1click, but less intrusion, no buffering unless your device is prehistoric, if its a keeper, you can snip off kruft, and do all the neat VLC, and Handbrake things.
The problem is it never stops recommending stuff. So if I say to never show me some channel (because maybe it’s irrelevant to me), then it just fills that spot with the next slightly more irrelevant channel.

Pretty soon all the recommendations are way far off what I would ever watch, because of course i don’t want to watch everything YouTube has. There is a point where there is nothing left that I will ever wanted to watch.
Already there bro.

Engineering is traditionally boom/bust. The baller tech dudes in 1973 were designing parts for F-15’s and making bank. By 1993 the movie “Falling Down” had come out and thousands of those folks were discarded. A big feel good stories were a bunch of aerospace engineers who applied their skills to designing low flow toilets.

It happens today in tech. How many high dollar Storage Administrators are deployed in your company? The highest paid contractors in many companies were the high priests of the SAN.

The vicious cycle in tech is you get trapped in a bad specialty or pulled up into middle management and purged. It mostly timing and luck. Nobody gives a shit that you were the man with some old semiconductor process. Likewise, nobody is going to pay a premium for some dude whose been a manager for a decade to sling Java.

Tacking works because you have resistance against two media (air and water) which are travelling at different velocities -- you need a keel in the water. Solar sails don't have an analogous second medium.
They don’t literally mean in the sun.
It is not exactly AGI but huge step toward it. I would expect this step in 2028-2030. I cant really understand why people are happy with it, this technology is so dangerous that can disrupt whole society. It's neither like smartphone nor internet. What will happen to 3rd world countries. Lots of unsolved questions and world is not prepared for such a change. Lots of people will lose their jobs I am not even mentioning their debts. No one will have chance to be rich anymore, If you are in first world country you will probably get UBI, if not you wont.
I hope that you're both right. In 2004-2007 I saw self driving vehicles make lightning progress from the weak showing of the 2004 DARPA Grand Challenge to the impressive 2005 Grand Challenge winners and the even more impressive performance in the 2007 Urban Challenge. At the time I thought that full self driving vehicles would have a major commercial impact within 5 years. I expected truck and taxi drivers to be obsolete jobs in 10 years. 17 years after the Urban Challenge there are still millions of truck driver jobs in America and only Waymo seems to have a credible alternative to taxi drivers (even then, only in a small number of cities).

Sounds like me!

Production music is booming today thanks to a digital environment in which a growing share of internet traffic comes from video and audio. Generations of YouTube and TikTok influencers strive to avoid the complicated world of sync licensing (short for music synchronization licensing, the process of acquiring rights to play music in the background of audiovisual content) and the possibility of content being removed for copyright violations. Companies like Epidemic Sound purport to solve this problem, claiming to simplify sync licensing by offering a library of pre-cleared, royalty-free production music for a monthly or yearly subscription fee. They also provide in-store music for retail outlets, in the tradition of muzak.

I actually kinda like some of those backing tracks, they are quite recognizable.
