I get plenty of people don't like AI, but a lot of the arguments seem to be confusing.

Like, AI has been a thing for a very long time. I'v done plenty of hobby research and development using AI. Be it CNN, GAN's or development of classifiers. This is all AI, and LLM's or image generation is no different. This "AI got good" is just what happens when you can manage to create really good datasets for training and are able to throw lots of compute at the problem.

If we made 4k scans of handwriting, we could easily generate synthetic handwriting that looks realistic, but based on how we classify the data you might even be able to determine different handwriting authors. This is. Of a breakthrough, its an application of using large data that's been classified correctly, and then using the massive compute that's available now.
Hopefully this is not bad intent by Github.

This:

> no idea he had to make the approach in the opposite direction.

So the wall is actually at the beginning of the runway. That wall was never never meant to be at the end of a landing but at the start of landing.

I don't understand why this isn't made clear. Basically the runway was used against the design specifications.

Gol Ya Pooch – Real-Time Multiplayer Guessing Game
Gol ya Pooch is a fun and fast-paced realtime multiplayer guessing game brought to the web! One player hides the “gol” (a small object) in one hand, and the other has to figure out which hand it’s in. It’s all about bluffing, quick thinking, and outsmarting your opponents. Guess the hand, dodge the bluff, and don’t get played!
Thank you for doing that. We're all better off with people who use their good fortune to help others in need.
They already botched a gear down landing, which is almost never mentioned. They retracted the gear and did a teardrop go around from a headwind into a tailwind belly flop.

Meh, I've used it numerous times in situations like setting up some clustered software to explore for the first time. Just fire up your 3 vms, ssh into each of them in their own panes, hotkey to activate broadcast mode, start creating/editing your config(s) and tuning your server.

It really is useful in the right scenarios, sure you shouldn't adopt it as your "official method for provisioning production servers" but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a legitimate use case or is a "crutch".

Haha true. In fairness, post kids, I had to become very selective about what I do (farewell Netflix and side projects) but the things I really care about, I do perhaps more than pre-kids.

I used to be very selective about going cycling, for example. Too early, too late, might rain, wind a bit gusty. But as a result I often didn't go. Now, if I have a window of opportunity, I just go, even if it's drizzly. And I go overall much more.
The template is what makes the training process so short for humans. We need minimal data and we can run off of that.

Training is both longer and less effective for the LLM because there is no template.

To give an example suppose it takes just one picture for a human to recognize a dog and it takes 1 million pictures for a ML model to do the same. What I’m saying is that it’s like this because humans come preprogrammed with application specific wetware to do the learning and recognition as a generic operation. That’s why it’s so quick. For AI we are doing it as a one shot operation on something that is not application specific. The training takes longer because of this and is less effective.
Sure, but the number of atoms which a mol represents is just as arbitrary as a kilogram or an ounce.

I may sound very arrogant and I am, but I am shocked how clueless one can be about themselves and what they want, while still being clearly very competent and intelligent.

When you have no job and "infinite" money (for most purposes) and you don't even know what you like doing, you should really spend some time just thinking. It's telling how the next arbitrary opportunity presents itself and the author is immediately 100% on it, possibly changing their entire life immediately after it. As someone that likely thought too much and did too little (I don't have millions), I think this is a case of someone that does too much and thinks too little.

Sitting on a beach and studying physics is probably good start, but it might be better to study nothing and just think about what you like and why you do things. And when you figured it out, keep sitting there a while more (weeks, months, I don't know).

It's a bit disappointing that we live in a system that rewards behavior like this so much and unfortunate for everyone that they often end up with power.

That's way too deep for this audience.
I wouldn't say many because we can probably count them on our fingers. I personally don't feel so concerned about that sector though because it's a capital intensive industry. My take is that monopolies in such industries are not as harmful as monopolies in other industries which have naturally low capital barriers where the anti-competitive forces are felt far more strongly by more market participants.

When capital barriers are low and you are able to build a product which solves a problem 10x better than the competition within a specific niche, it comes as quite a shock when you cannot even find a single user willing to try your product for free. A product which is low capital to build can be very high capital to sell because you need an enormous marketing budget to even get one real user to try your product long enough to realize that it's 10x more efficient than what they're using now. Then there might be a ton of additional regulatory barriers standing in the way of a sale (esp. B2B). Massive chicken and egg problem. These kinds of situations where sale becomes a total bottleneck and stands in the way of delivering economic efficiency can make one feel that the economic pie must be shrinking fast.

>Being outdoors is an excellent defense, as is shown in the data generated by the NFL during the pandemic.

This is so crazy to me. Maybe it wasn't communicated clear enough, but for me it was always cristal clear that while being outside chances of getting infected are very very small. And people were still afraid and wore masks outside. The government still bullied you, and police could fine you, if you took a stroll during lockdown in germany.

No, I didn't want to go outside or to a party to infect others. I wanted to take a stroll to not kill myself and because I knew there is almost no chance in getting infected or infecting anyone else. And I still was scared of any police car driving past, because the government fucked up. I even remember the news stories of people getting fined because they read a book on a f-in park bench, because they werent allowed to linger outside

This is all true. But it isn't as easy as it sounds.

When you start out, you probably only have a vague idea of what the product will be.

The sort of people you want to talk to might not want to talk to you. They are busy people and you don't even have a product!

People saying they will give you money is worthless, in my experience. Only people actually giving you money counts for anything.

Django has tools like Ninja and DRF that let's you use Django in much the same way you would Flask, while still being comparable with the rest of the Django ecosystem.

The difference isn't so much one of actual scope, but rather that Django is still perceived as much heavier and more complicated than Flask to get started with.
I wouldn’t state that with any certainty. They touched down 1500m down the runway with little to no braking or reverse thrust. The ending may have been less violent but the outcome may have been the same. I’d rather go from blunt force than being burned alive if a wing ditched and it rolled.

Let’s wait for the investigators. It’s not good to fixate on this outcome.
Okay but for the vast overwhelming majority of people, what they actually need is "a helping hand, a business loan or grant etc"

You talk about this like this is trivial, but it's the kind of material help that would make a difference for almost everyone who is currently not doing what they want in life

Yes, no one can teach you to self-actualize. People's material circumstances are rarely a result of inadequate self-actualization or agency, despite what the self-help industry would like you to believe.

Most "high-agency" people who succeed started out with either adequate resources to at least support themselves while they tried stuff, reliable backup plans (like living with supportive family), or help in the form of stuff like grants or startup funding. People who don't have that need that, regardless of their mindset or abilities. There are exceptions who got incredibly lucky, and they are a rounding error among rounding errors. That is the world we live in. There are ways to engineer a world where this is less the case, but at least in the US, we seem to choose not to move in this direction at every opportunity, and freak out when even minor forms of the security necessary to act with agency take hold for large numbers of people (See: The business world's hysterical reaction to COVID relief)

Right and it's not necessarily a causal relationship between that and censorship, but ONCE you see how coordinated it was, it starts looking like part of a bigger effort (David Martin for example has talked about some of this)

Otherwise I might not be so gung ho about it. I would have accepted "sorry, it got out, it's our fault". Accidents happen, but not when you coerce, censor, and make illegal (certain early treatment drugs) tools in the toolkit to fight the virus

It’s sort of like the parent whose kids have finally left home or the person who hits retirement after decades of routine. You spend so long in a role that demands all your energy—raising children, clocking into work, scaling a startup—that once it’s gone, it feels disorienting. It’s not really about the money he made; it’s about losing the sense of urgency and purpose that kept him going. Now he’s stuck figuring out how to fill that void, which is something parents and retirees often deal with, too.

Professional athletes who retire face a similar void after years of training for a single goal; military personnel returning from deployment often grapple with the loss of a clear mission; newly graduated students or PhD candidates who’ve just defended their thesis can feel a void, too. It’s the same pattern: once your main structure or purpose vanishes, you have to figure out how to fill the space it leaves behind.

His story is not about money. Although many see that as the main info here, it’s not. It’s about losing identity, the main goal in life.

I wanted to like kitty and tried it many times. It is subtle issues that break Emacs now and then, like breaking the display alignment for some zero-width joined emoji. Iterm2 on a MacBook is snappy for me. With remote work, the latency for me is mostly network delays of order a couple of ms per keystroke for the cabled Ethernet connection; mosh helps for the extreme cases, or when on WiFi (which often feels annoying without mosh), otherwise ssh -C is sufficient for my daily driver.
Well, we literally can’t buy a domain name only rent it, and owning a TLD or possess a static numerical address is not an option that is accessible to mere mortal either.

> bad idea to have a concrete wall at the end of the runway

but was it the end of the runway? As I understand, the pilot came in from the opposite direction, i.e.

> The pilot then aborted the original landing and requested permission to land from the opposite direction.[1]

So that wall was located at the beginning of the runway if the runway was used correctly.

From the bottom image[2], it would appear the wall is located behind the point where planes begin their take-off (and I assume their landing) - but I'm no aviation expert.

I think it's strange that he rejected the idea of humanoid robots because it was "cringe" to copy Elon so instead he... studies physics with a goal of applying first principles thinking to manufacturing businesses? That's kind of Elon's whole thing.

Attribution. If you read a book, blog or code and others ask you where you got your ideas/inspiration you can refer them back to the original author. This helps people build a reputation. Even if it's just happens every once in a while, it still helps the original author.

Once an AI has hoover up your work and regurgitated it as it's own, all links back to the original creator is lost.
