One of the big flaws in Karpathy's logic is that it implies human vision is acceptable and sufficient for an AV. The reality, as Cruise found out, seems to be that society will demand AVs are much safer than humans.

Human vision is an existence proof for human-level performance without lidar, but Waymo is an existence proof for 10x human performance WITH lidar. Right now the latter is where the bar is, and it'll keep being raised. I don't think at this point one could get away with deploying AVs at scale that are significantly less safe than Waymo.

Also: if sensor fusion is so hard, why is Waymo able to solve it but not Tesla?

But compiled code loses a lot of the "extra" data. Also these are "language" models so I would be surprised if training on binaries was much more efficient versus writing in some kind of language.

Besides, how do you even check the result now without running untrusted code? Every run of the model you need to reverse-engineer the binary?
> Can you expand on this further? Wouldn’t this just be exposing myself to the same vulnerabilities as OP?

Yeah I wouldn't do this personally, I just mentioned it as the simplest option. Unless it's meant to be a public service, I always try to at least hide it from automated scanners.

> If I use nginx as a reverse proxy, would I be mitigating the risk?

If the reverse proxy performs additional authentication before allowing traffic to pass onto the service it's protecting, then yes, it would.

One of my more elegant solutions has been to forward a port to nginx and configure it to require TLS client certificate verification. I generated and installed a certificate on each of my devices. It's seamless for me in day to day usage, but any uninvited visitors would be denied entry by the reverse proxy.

However support for client certificates is spotty outside of browsers, across platforms, which is unfortunate. For example HomeAssistant on Android supports it [1] (after years of pleading), but the iOS version doesn't. [2] NextCloud for iOS however supports it [3].

In summary, I think any kind of authentication added at the proxy would be great for both usability and security, but it has very spotty support.

> Based on other advice, it seems like the self hosted VPN (wireguard) is the safest option, but slower.

I think so. It shouldn't be slow per se, but it's probably going to affect battery life somewhat and it's annoying to find it disconnected when you try to access Immich or other services.

You could combine this with a quick cronjob to send notifications about daily/weekly spending but I don’t know an easy way to send texts without dipping into Twilio, which is difficult. If you’re okay having emails notify you, that might work.

Maybe enter purchases in a linked spreadsheet from your phone to your desktop to track purchases? Might just be better off sucking up purchase information from your bank’s API to your spreadsheet. Smaller bank APIs tend to suck though.
Another example of this is people putting code, intended to be shared, up on e.g. Github without a licence.

Many people seem to think that no licence = public domain, but it's still under strong copyright protection. This is the point of things like the Unlicense license.

Exactly. They're treating their customers with contempt by not at least pushing back. It almost seems like this is all automated and they don't care unless you're an enterprise customer.
+1 for Copilot.

When Mint shut down I did a ton of trials and Copilot had the best UI for me and I didn't have to learn a new "system" like YNAB. It relies on Plaid, so just make sure your banks/cards/accounts are mainstream (Chase, Wells Fargo, Goldman, Vanguard, etc).

The points mentioned against websockets are mostly fud, I've used websockets in production for a very heavy global data streaming application, and I would respond the following to the "upsides" of not using websockets:

> Observability Remains Unchanged

Actually it doesn't, many standard interesting metrics will break because long-polling is not a standard request either.

> Authentication Simplicity

Sure, auth is different than with http, but not more difficult. You can easily pass a token.

> Infrastructure Compatibility

I'm sure you can find firewalls out there where websockets are blocked, however for my use case I have never seen this reported. I think this is outdated, for sure you don't need "special proxy configurations or complex infrastructure setups".

> Operational Simplicity

Restarts will drop any persistent connection, state can be both or neither in WS or in LP, it doesn't matter what you use.

> Client implementation

It mentions "no special WebSocket libraries needed" and also "It works with any HTTP client". Guess what, websockets will work with any websocket client! Who knew!

Finally, in the conclusion:

> For us, staying close to the metal with a simple HTTP long polling implementation was the right choice

Calling simple HTTP long polling "close to the metal" in comparison to websockets is weird. I wouldn't be surprised if websockets scale much better and give much more control depending on the type of data, but that's besides the point. If you want to use long polling because you prefer it, go ahead. Its a great way to stick to request/response style semantics that web devs are familiar with. Its not necessary to regurgitate a bunch of random hearsay arguments that may influence people in the wrong way.

Try to actually leave the reader with some notion of when to use long polling vs when to use websockets, not a post-hoc justification of your decision based on generalized arguments that do not apply.

FWIW I don't hear of nearly any of the horror stories I used to. From my recollection, 2011 was about the peak of it, where buyers were claiming to never get their stuff, getting liberal refunds at the expense of the sellers. Sellers were getting their accounts locked by Paypal, sometimes with tens-of-thousands of dollars at stake, only to get it back 6 months later if they begged and screamed.

I opened a seller account in about 2020 to unload some server gear and almost got scammed, but I googled the buyers name and saw he was accused of fraud by several other people. I re-routed the package and although I didn't get reimbursed for that fee, ebay made me right and paypal (I think) gave me a small credit. They even had a phone call with me which seemed like they actually investigated it (I dont remember many details, it was 1 transaction 5 years ago).

There's just no way that any online auction can control fraud. I was on ebay yesterday as a buyer, looking for a tape backup drive. The seller clearly had been burned and (bitterly) warned that the sale was final, because previously he had sold a working drive which was parted out, replaced with broken parts (heads) and returned as defective. there's no way a third party can protect against it because either way the fraudster wins. 1) sell a bad drive, claim it was good, but accuse the buyer of fraud. Or 2) buy a good drive, swap it out with bad parts and return it. how could anyone (like ebay) solve this problem?

Tangentially related, I get strong Metaverse/NFT vibes around predictions on agents.

Namely, a lot of predictions were made around NFTs that just didn’t make sense or were kind of dumb. My pet favorite was this notion that in the future you could bring your NFTs with you to different games and the like. You could buy a Batman NFT costume and have your guy wear it while playing metaverse World of Warcraft. They basically took Ready Player One and ran with it. Besides the fact that this is much harder to do than they could imagine, it’s also kind of a goofy idea.

I feel the same way with predictions made around AI agents. My pet favorite is the notion that we stop using the internet and delegate everything to our agents. Planning a trip? Let an AI agent handle things for you. Shopping? Likewise, let an agent handle your purchases. In the future ads won’t even be targeted at people, they’ll target agents instead, and pretty soon agents won’t even browse the internet but talk to other agents instead.

Is it feasible? I can’t say. I’m more interested in how goofy it all sounds. The notion that you no longer have buyer preferences while your agent gets served ads, or the notion of planning that trip to Rome or whatever and just entrusting the agent with the itinerary as if it won’t come up with unoriginal suggestions.

Work agents make more sense in general, but the sentiment remains.
How are US courts relevant in a case concerning a UK citizen being challenged by another UK citizen in the UK?

From what I understand anyone in the UK can make claims, file cases, etc…, against anyone else.

Edit: They may take action in another jurisdiction where they posesss some advantage, but it would have to be taken up in UK courts to actually mete out formal punishment.
ORG (Open Rights Group) as a UK org might provide good recommendations.

Plastic recycling, because of what plastics are, is basically impossible at cost. PET recycling might make you think "see, we can recycle plastics" but first and foremost, PET recycling isn't recycling, it's reuse (using the PET as a base material to make something else, like fleece, which cannot be recycled), and second: the majority of plastics aren't PET and literally have no recycling path.

My point about income is that it has doubled in the same way housing prices have. If you inflation adjusted the housing prices they aren’t so out of line with median household income.

If your theory about housing prices is building materials, you’re just flatly wrong. The underlying land values have had very large increases in value, and materials are a small portion of the court of a frame built house. Land and labor costs dominate.

> It's incredible that people still haven't figured out or won't accept or plan for technology to continue to improve. Especially given how obvious the rapid improvement in this area has been.

If you wrote this about aeroplanes in the mid-1960s, despite the previous 40-50 years of rapid improvement, you'd be wrong.

The same would be true for bicycles, and automobiles - despite decades of incremental and noteworthy-for-specific-context improvements, there's been no fundamental changes in these (and many other technologies) that reflects the early progress. Yes, modern cars are safer, more comfortable, more fuel efficient (sometimes), but they get nothing done that wasn't possible with a car from the mid-1950s.

Why would you assume that the recent past of LLMs provides an outline of what the future of AI in general (not just LLMs) is going to be?

If you decide to go the low-tech/DIY route, I will shamelessly self-promote my platform WebWidgets.io. It basically allows you to upload SQLite file(s) and then talk to them in JavaScript from a web app. I built a finance tracker app for myself using WWIO (I do a monthly download of my spending data from my online bank and then upload the CSV to my app). I've been using it for years.

The key issue in this world is that everyone wants a slightly different set of features, so any one-size-fits-all app will be too complex. DIY-ing it means you get exactly the features you want and no gratuitous complexity.

WebSocket solves a very different problem. It may be only partially related to organizing two-way communication, but it has nothing to do with data complexity. Moreover, WS are not good enough at transmitting binary data.

If you are using SSE and SW and you need to transfer some binary data from client to server or from server to client, the easiest solution is to use the Fetch API.
`fetch()` handles binary data perfectly well without transformations or additional protocols.

If the data in SW is large enough to require displaying the progress of the data transfer to the server, you will probably be more suited to `XMLHttpRequest`.

> if you have several tabs, you need a SharedWorker to share the connection between the tabs.

You don't have to use a SharedWorker, you can also do domain sharding. Since the concurrent connection limit is per domain, you can add a bunch of DNS records like SSE1.example.org -> 2001:db8::f00; SSE2.example.org -> 2001:db8::f00; SSE3.example.org -> 2001:db8::f00; and so on. Then it's just a matter of picking a domain at random on each page load. A couple hundred tabs ought to be enough for anyone ;)
I believe growth is exponential. The growth of complexity. The author mentions how it can get you 70% of the way there, well Pareto is a bitch. Once the details matter more the difficulty grows evidentially (well power series).

What people fail to realize is despite what we've done is incredibly and no easy task, it's "the easy part". And progress is unfortunately constantly like this. Because as we progress we are effectively solving higher order solutions. Solve your Taylor series problems. If you've done up to 4th order and still need 5th, everything previously is (usually) "easy" in comparison. Getting to the 6th is no different, and so on. And of course it gets harder, we made progress! The naive part is to think the future will be as easy as the past looks in retrospect, not as hard as the current state looked a priori.
My point was just that there’s a lot going on there, and value for those who want more than an RDBMS. I have no disagreement that the RDBMS on its own is not worth paying for for most, and especially not for any techish organizations.

I’d also note that most orgs and use cases probably don’t need more than 24 cores and 128GB RAM.

I think for an organization that wants a near-trivial out of the box experience with RDBMS, reporting, and analytics, Standard Edition is not a bad deal. Especially for the many organizations that are already using Microsoft as their identity provider and productivity suite.
