You reference "Turbobloat" and engines being "bloated" - which is to some extent fair. But it is maybe worth describing what that means to you - what features you consider "bloat" and which you have omitted from the Tramway project. To some the inclusion of an RPG framework may be considered bloat, for example, yet there is one present in Tramway.
Great point — I see this as evidence that this investment is more "who gets AGI first" speculation than "who has more chat subscriptions".
Especially for live fact checking the greater the number of lies and the more obvious/blatant those lies are the more likely someone is to get fact checked.
Meanwhile I use the AI on one of my projects and it cuts me off making me wait 3 hours. I get it, but for $60Billion I think they can afford some IO.

I think the parsed c program is the DSL. You have to write a parser and compiler for the c-like source to the actual c code.
You can't imagine a world where tomorrow's chat bot is only marginally better than today's?
idk what you are doing but my feed on bsky is mostly stuff that I'm interested in. The only time I saw stuff about Trump and Musk was when I didn't follow enough people or didn't subscribed to feeds.
Great news. It's further evidence that the zeitgeist has shifted against the idea that platforms have a "responsibility" to do "good" and make the world "better" through censorship. Tech companies like Meta have done incalculable damage to the public by arrogating the power to determine what's true, good, and beautiful.

Across the industry, tech companies are rejecting this framework. Only epistemic and moral humility can lead to good outcomes for society. It's going to take a long time to rebuild public trust.
It does not lead to obsessive/compulsive behaviour if
you simply optimize your emotional and awareness skills first.
One of the pieces of advice I would give to someone early in your career is to find a trusted seasoned executive who can share a perspective that I have never seen captured well in writing. Typical actual comp structures for a number of career paths. Board dynamics. The true sources of negotiating power. The types of restrictive terms included in exec and board contracts. etc.
SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck
... catching up with Bluesky!

It's hilarious to see Bluesky members say things like "It's so beautiful that there is no algorthmic feed on Bluesky and each comment is by somebody with a soul" (Well maybe I have a soul but my better half YOShInOn that posts with me doesn't [1])

I won't correct them, but the "Discover" tab Bluesky defaults to is very different from the "Following" tab. My rough estimate (N=200 or so) is that the Discover feed has about 1/4 the emotionally negative content that there is in following.

To stand Mastodon I need about 30 filters so I'm not overwhelmed with negativity, I haven't needed this for Bluesky because it has filters built in.

If you see the problem with "fake news" is that it is fake you need to create a god to tell truth from false. If you see that the problem is that it is emotionally negative and viral "news" you need SBERT + RNN + 10,000 well chosen training examples, though I think I'd have to back on Paxil if I had to curate a few thousands negative toots.

The core optimization you're trying sounds fairly similar to JPA*, which I believe is fantastic on open maps but eh on dense ones.[0]

Maybe take a look at HPA* (hierarchal A* - partition the map, pathfind on high-level map, then pathfind at lower granularity).

You can also encode into the hierarchy information about whether a rabbit exists in the chunk in the first place, to reduce the initial search for nearest-rabbit.

Factorio had a good blog post on it [1], and Rimworld too but it also enabled arbitrary-sized partitions. [2]

I'm kind of just guessing based on your basic description though; what's the full scenario in mind?

I'm not sure why you think your personal opinions about mentioning that a well-known racist was in fact a well-known racist matter, and why you think you have some sort of say in another person's blog post. This "scale" that you think the author is putting their thumb on does not exist. They are writing on their own personal website.
You're missing the most critical part though. Memory bandwidth. It hasn't been announced yet for Digits and it probably won't be comparable to that of dedicated GPUs.
For the record, Twitter currently punishes people who call VIP's mean names and seems to take action against all negativity pointed towards certain ideologies that fit with the owners preferences, and they're talking about some opaque "positivity" changes which actually sound like automating the current manual moderation behind their censorship of wrongthink.

We should stop pretending that that website resembles its preceding namesake, because it does not.
It turns out that “normies” were people who have the kinds of normal, mainstream beliefs that Facebook has spent the past four years censoring.
I actually enjoy it. I still search with DDG, but Claude gives me direct answers without sifting through stackoverflow, or links upon links on how to do things on websites for their website functionality like e-bay or how to use things.
The problem with "Fact-Checkers" was that since they're human they're going to impose their own biases, and their own sense of morality. For well over a decade the majority of them were also left-leaning (per Silicon Valley), and so even true things that conservatives were trying to say got "censored" because these left-leaning folks believed their own sense of truth and morality were superior.
I assume the chief reasoning behind this decision twofold. First, it's a crapshoot to get alternative stores working on my steam deck (I wouldn't expect my less technical gamer friends to feel confident installing a game from Epic/EA/Ubisoft). It's also a financial decision, as Valve presumably isn't charging the OEMs a licensing fee.

In a market that's getting more crowded by the day, where so many of their competitors are using the same SoC and come in at roughly the same price point, it's a rational decision to control costs as much as possible. Not to mention, they also need to compete against the Deck itself, which Valve is subsidizing to hit its pricepoint. The alternative would be to innovate and differentiate your product offering from your competitors (like the original Legion Go, which had detachable controllers and a fancy pseudo-mouse). The fact that this machine didn't carry those features forward is a strong signal that the bottom of the market is where the early wins will be.

Keep in mind also that Microsoft is planning their own handheld xbox experience. Speculation: MS' effort will look a lot like Valve's, with Xbox games coming day-and-date to OEM-built handhelds, as well as a first party reference implementation that's intended as a benchmark for devs. I imagine that most OEMs are using the cheaper steamOS pricing as a hedge against future gouging from MS; if there's an "Xbox certification process" that proves to be too cumbersome, a vendor that's already shipping cheap(er) devices en masse with SteamOS has the option of simply dropping windows support altogether.
I've never heard that term before, so it's hard to answer :)

After learning how microeconomics/"price theory" explains how prices emerge in markets, it can be hard to discuss with people who don't understand the mechanisms.
It depends on the timing. I lucked out about a year ago on the 4080; I happened to be shopping in what turned out to be the ~1 month long window where you could just go to the nvidia site, and order one.
Reminds me of Vault-Tec from the Fallout universe trying to "win the capitalism game" and "optimize shareholder value" after a nuclear apocalypse, going so far as to facilitate nuclear war in order to raise their value as a "defense company"
Without thinking about it too deeply I'm wondering if GPU demand is that much higher than let's say iPhone demand. I don't think I've ever heard of iPhones being scarce and rare and out of stock.

How Many Cells Are in Your Body?
Your comment raised a question for me: what makes you certain that there isn't already an artificial superintelligence operating in the world? I am not sure that it is possible to know when the threshold has been crossed.
>n the first scenario, an investment in any AI model company that does not own its own compute is like buying a tar pit instead of an oil well. In other words, this future has AI like a commodity and the entity who wins is the one who can produce it at the lowest cost.

Why do you assume that AI will become a commodity that is only metered by access to compute?

Right now (since June 2024), Anthropic is ahead of the field in quality of their product, especially when it comes to programming. Even if O1/O3 beat them on benchmarks, they are still nowhere near when normalized for compute needs.

Can they sustain this? I don't know, but in the end this is very similar to known software or even SAAS business models. They are also in a somewhat synergetic relationship to Amazon.

Did office software ever become commoditized? Google and many more tried hard, but there is still the same company in the lead that was in the 90ies.
If we invented ASI today, it'd still take a lot of economic digestion time, especially on the physical side.

ASI doesn't mean it can magically reverse-infer a digital process from an existing hodge-podge of automation and manual steps.

ASI doesn't mean there are instantly enough telerobotics or sensors to physically automate all processes.

Similarly, even ASI will by definition be non-deterministic and make mistakes. So processes will have to be reengineered to be compatible with it.
I first read that very very differently with a word which is almost an anagram of Fertilo, which begins with 'fe' and ends with 'o'. I was very confused how what has been euphemistically described as "swallowing kids" would produce viable eggs.

Part of the answer is that toslink does not support DRM, while HDMI does.

So they never was any compelling reason to improve it like that.
They even removed toslink output from many devices nowadays even if they didn’t have too.
Could you add to the prompt that the password is stored in an sqlite database using argon2 for encryption, the encryption parameters are stored as environment variables.

You would like it to avoid timing based attacks as well as dos attacks.

It should also generate the functions as pure functions so that state is passed in and passed out and no side effects(printing to the console) happen within the function.

Then also confirm for me that it has handled all error cases that might reasonably happen.

While you are doing that, just think about how much implicit knowledge I just had to type into the comment here and that is still ignoring a ton of other knowledge that needs to be considered like whether that password was salted before being stored. All the error conditions for the sqlite implementation in python, the argon2 implementation in the library.

TLDR: that code is useless and would have taken me the same amount of time to write as your prompt.
> There is no "slap on the wrist" expression in russian language

Do you speak russian? They have "получишь по рукам" "получить по рукам" which has the same meaning as "slap on the wrist"
I think the sad thing is that you just don’t need search engines any more because there is too much conglomeration. There’s basically like three kinds of websites. Companies, Social Media, and Wikipedia.

My plan, if I ever need long haul(>3meters) video or audio links, is to get the signal into ethernet(or even better ip) and use common network equipment to transport it.

The theory being ethernet is such a well developed, easy to source common jelly-bean part that this would trump any gains that specialized transports might otherwise have.

But this is probably just my inner network engineer being disdainful over unfamiliar transport layers.

If you as a corporation are unwilling to take the time/effort/resources to prove in a court of law that there is (civil case) not enough evidence to show you most likely did the "wrong" thing, then do not be surprised when the public draws adverse inferences.

The expensive nature of the american court system could be improved in a way that you would never be worse off defending yourself, but these companies don't push for that because they LIKE having the power to bully people with stupid expensive lawfare.

There’s a third one as well.
AI will never get past its current autocomplete on steroids state and mainstream people will see through the facade at some point. AGI always was and always will be a pipe dream with the technology we currently have.

All AI stocks come crashing down from fantasy amounts of money to what they’re actually worth as they did with every previous tech hype until people find a new thing to throw their money at.
Marx also predicted many things that turned out to be completely false. It's easy to make a convincing sounding argument after the fact if you only cherry pick the bits that support your view.

Agreed, and I believe that's very unfortunate.

I update drivers regularly. I've only had one display failure and was solved by a simple rollback. To be a bit fair (:/) it was specifically a combination of new beta driver and a newer kernel. It's definitely improved a ton since 10 years ago I just would not update them except very carefully.
I'm a moral incompletist.

That is, no consistent system of axioms whose theorems can be listed by an effective procedure is capable of proving all truths about moral actions. Either moral systems are complete, or they are consistent. Consistency and completeness are requirements for optimization, so the idea of moral optimization is dead on arrival for me. It's simply not possible, and like the author one will drive themselves to insanity over trying.

Edit: I made an unfortunately error in the original version - accidentally mixing up consistent with inconsistent. My apologies for the confusion.
Agreed...I was in High School from 2006-2010, at the dawn of the Smart Phone revolution. Virtually everyone had phones of some kind, but they were explicitly banned from use during school hours. Yes, people would use them in secret (eg texting under a desk), but teachers would take them away if they noticed.

I don't understand why schools decided to allow students to use phones during the day.

> the market forces will produce a rough equivalent result over time.

No, they absolutely will not. Absolutely not. The entire history of the labor movement and of labor law is testament to this. We’ve tried this, repeatedly, in the real world, and labor gets fucked every single time. Employers do not pay according to the value generated by the employee, they pay the minimum they need to get an employee. Get this model out of your head, it is wrong.
It says "mixed-criticality"

"Mixed-criticality essentially means one chip is running two pieces of software that require disparate safety levels. An example would be a single chip that controls both radio volume and electric steering controls. A failure of audio controls is annoying — while a failure of steering controls is dangerous, possibly even life-threatening."[0]

It says they're working on ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level B (ASIL-B) which from[0] says - "medium-risk" for failures e.g. headlights or rear-camera.

> It does not lead to obsessive/compulsive behaviour if you simply optimize your emotional and awareness skills first.

I don't think you understand what optimizing entails.

Optimization is inherently antithetical to balance, in principle.

Optimization is looking for local/global maxima. Balance is releasing the need from seeking local/global maxima entirely.

I mean, you could try to seek balance through optimization. Good luck with that.
Now 99%+ of smart phones use the design decisions iPhone pioneered

Given that the iPhone UI was based on the LG Prada, it would seem that LG Prada is the pioneer. And on that note, you haven't been able to mention a single that the Apple actually did first that it didn't just copy from an Android device (or other competitor).

As you keep moving the goal posts and ignoring things that prove Apple wasn't the inventor of everything, I'm going to bow out of this conversation now.

> The hypothesis I find most compelling is that IQ levels have "naturally" been declining for decades

You find compelling the idea that organisms naturally get dumber with each successive generation? What possible mechanism would cause IQ levels to "naturally" decline? Have they been naturally declining since the dawn of civilization? Since LUCA? Shouldn't the expectation be that without other causes, IQ levels would remain roughly constant throughout generations?

Weirdly they're advertising "1 petaflop of AI performance at FP4 precision" [1] when they're advertising the 5090 [2] as having 3352 "AI TOPS" (presumably equivalent to "3 petaflops at FP4 precision"). The closest graphics card they're selling is the 5070 with a GPU performing at 988 "AI TOPS" [2]....

My guess: in recent months, many people (e.g., me) who are motivated to counter fake news have left Twitter for other platforms. Thus, proposed CNs are seen and upvoted by fewer people, resulting in fewer of them being shown to the public.
Also, I ask myself: why should I spend time verifying or writing CNs when it does not matter - the emperor knows that he is not wearing any clothes, and he does not care.

Get it when you want and as much as you want. Doctors will say you can be healthy at size and advertisers will tell you to be body positive. Then when you’re over served and obese you can get weight loss injections and start all over. It’s the American way. An endless orgy of consumerism.

They have been making real improvements the last few years. Most of their proprietary driver code is in firmware now, and the kernel driver is open-source[1] (the userland-side is still closed though).

They've also significantly improved support for wayland and stopped trying to force eglstreams on the community. Wayland+nvidia works quite well now, especially after they added explicit sync support.

I did all of my education post elementary school in the United States, specifically in Texas. Class space was limited in advanced subjects, and there are only so many scholarships to go around. If I had not gotten one, I am not sure if my family would have been able to afford college - which, regardless of we may think of the utility of higher education, definitely set me up with connections that set me on a career path that's currently supporting my family.
I have very similar experience. For me LLM are good at explaining someone else's complex code, but for some reason they don't help me write new code well. I would also like to see any LLM-driven developers work in real time.
This doesn't seem relevant.

Anthropic could pivot to a UI and hosting for models (potentially with some or no proprietary models) and still be worth $60B.
>Unity and Unreal are top-tier garbage that don't deserve our money and time. The bigger practical reason to use them is that people have experience and the plugin and extension ecosystems are rich and filled with battle tested and useful stuff.

Both are effectively magical sandboxes where platform support is someone else's problem.

Unity is still pretty great, but it's chained to a company that has no real business plan to sustainability.

Unreal is okay, but developers aren't using it right. For any bigger project you should customized the engine for your needs. Or at the very least spend some time to optimize.

But we need to ship and we need to ship now.

Blame the developers not the tools.
