Was Skynet project already taken? Wonder how many public infrastructure or resource programs will be cut to fund this.
Probably the first state to power all those renewables down at the whim of the president too.
Sunk cost? Selection bias? I don't think you can get a PhD by accident, you have to really want to work in academia (or a specific industry). And I doubt getting a second post doc position is all that hard (as long as you're willing to travel), given they're capable of getting the first one. My understanding is that universities quite like being able to hire cheap, hard working, disposable researchers.

People who go into academia are probably willing to live the life of an underpaid researcher. The fact that they have the post-doc title instead of the professor title probably is that big a deal, nor is the salary going to change their decision. The lack of autonomy is probably annoying, as is the lack of stability. Having to worry that they might change labs and maybe cities every 3 years, and not knowing for sure if they'll get a job is probably the only thing actually making them quit.
Yep. I left without even really trying to make it work. Academia has its good points, but the path to success is very grind-y.
Ok but their grid sure seems to fail a lot.
That's neat. I just tried something similar:

FORTUNE=$(fortune) && echo $FORTUNE && echo "Convert the following output of the Unix `fortune` command into a small screenplay in the style of Shakespeare: \n\n $FORTUNE" | ollama run phi4

Wait, was it supposed to re industrialize the USA?
There's a good amount of irony in the results that AI have achieved, particularly if we reach AGI - they have improved individual worker efficiency by removing other workers from the system. Naming it Stargate implies a reckoning with the actual series itself - an accomplishment by humanity. Instead, what this pushes, is accomplishing the removal of humans from humanity. I like cool shiny tech, but I like useful tech that really helps humans more. Work on 3D-printing sustainable food, or something actually useful like that. Jenson doesn't need another 1B gallons of water under his belt.
It's saying that society pays a price for fossil fuel emissions, in terms of damage to our climate and our health. Millions of people die every year from fossil fuel emissions. If we attach a price to that death and destruction, and apply that as a cost towards fossil fuels, it makes the financial subsidies of wind and solar insignificant.
Well, the silver lining is the incredible human capacity to get used to almost any situation given enough time

It will get weirder, but only relatively so, the concept of normalcy always trailing just a little bit behind as we slide

I worked in a group that was 100% in-person, with the team distributed all over the country. I wonder how this is going to play out for them.
Like dwnw said, anything goes in Texas if you have money and there’s already a decent number of qualified tech workers. Corporate taxes are super low as well.

Hush. Don't ask questions. It is going to be great.
Yeah, .NET developers have been passing CancellationTokens around in the places where they have needed them for 15 years. The tokens are basically invisible until their existence emerges when someone decides they want to cancel a long-running API call or something. At that point, they are plumbed as deeply as seems fit for the problem at hand and then hardly thought about ever again. CancellationTokens are generally a delightful pattern, especially when the language allows sensible defaults.
How much capacity does solar and wind add compared to nuclear, per square foot of land used? Also I thought the new administration was placing a ban on new renewable installations.
Apparently ROW = America's colonies (in the eyes of Meta), so maybe kind of yeah.

They say this will include hundreds of thousands of jobs. I have little doubt that dedicated power generation and storage is included in their plans.

Also I have no doubt that the timing is deliberate and that this is not happening without government endorsement. If I had to guess the US military also is involved in this and sees this initiative as important for national security.

SoftBank and MGX paying for all this, all foreign investment.

Where is the US government in all this? Why aren't they leading the charge? They obviously have the money.
There's a Stripe app in their marketplace for sending invoices over PEPPOL, I'm sure it'll become a feature once it's mandatory in enough places.

Here in France there's a similar system, I just require a certain tier to accept payments through it.
Ah, and the attack is knowing what CDN that is that signal itself is using, and examining it directly? I had missed that somehow.
So about 10% of what Sam was asking the Saudis (and everyone else) for a year ago? That's still a helluva lot of money.

Interesting that the UAE (MGX) and Japan (Softbank) are bankrolling the re-industrialization of America.

If that were true then yes, I could certainly understand why you think it's the wrong moderation call. But based on everything I know (or think I know) after 10+ years of doing this job, I don't believe it is true. It is too optimistic an assessment of the prospects of such a thread.

One point that might be worth adding (or maybe not, but here it is): when you say "moderation is crucial" and "letting the discussion happen (with supervision)", I feel like you're overestimating the capacity of moderation. It is a scarce resource in several ways, some obvious some not. Part of this is about trying to invest it wisely.

For example, I put huge effort into moderating the thread about pg's "origins of wokeness" essay (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42682305) and ended up, at the end of a long day, feeling like I had hardly made a dent. (The current case would certainly be worse.) So when you argue for letting a particularly flame-prone thread burn and posit that it can be turned into a thoughtful conversation by sufficiently effective moderation, my sense is "I don't think that's realistic".

Anyhow, that's a secondary consideration, but it is consistent with the primary considerations.

(Btw I had deleted the first paragraph of my comment because I felt it was cuttable, but since you quoted it, I've put it back.)
if it really worked that way, then it was a successful blue-sky negotiation tactic to maximize the actual final negotiation.

I think all of those are "fair game" now (if the price is right). I only wish I were kidding.
Sorry, wasn’t trying to attack you, it just seems like you’re really angry and hoping for tech workers to suffer. I hope you find some peace.
The problem with LLMs as a replacement for StackOverflow (and any other peer reviewed Q/A site) is that the LLM has, shocker, no peer review. Combined with the fact that the user has insufficient expertise to adequately vet the responses (ie: they needed to ask in the first place), there is a trap where the user can end up using an incorrect response without any expert feedback to help them make an informed choice.
As the LLMs get better, I expect that this will improve, but for now, it's gonna train a lot of novices to apply bad practices.
AFAIK this is a purely private project, and Trump is just doing the announcement as a form of bragging/ribbon-cutting
I was just thinking about this today. Basically replacing my price list or prefacing it with something like : "We've designed the pricing and services to be affordable by bootstrapped startups with just one investing founder. Additionally prices are comparable to a FT SWE on a quarterly basis."

Because the truth is that the contracts are almost always different, so while price tables are good to get an idea, words are just better at conveying the ballpark, and they lack the illusion of price rigidness.
I don’t know if $500bn could put anyone ahead of nvidia/tmc.
Peugeot is the gold standard. The traditional hourglass shape is around $40-50 for the normal-sized version, and they have a lot of other modern designs. A lot of competing brands buy the internal mechanism from Peugeot.

(If you're curious about the name: Yes, it was originally the same company as the Peugeot car/motorcycle company. It was spun out into a separate company at some point, but still owned by the descendants of the original Peugeot family.)
Well the Saudis are one of the president’s “personal shareholders” so I think that qualifies them as an American company now.

Sounds to me like you might want to reduce the Top P - that will prevent the really unlikely next tokens from ever being selected, while still providing nice randomness in the remaining next tokens so you continue to get diverse stories.

Points of measurement are a challenging issue.

One of the ... beyond annoying ... aspects of our track-everything-individuals-do-and-utilise-it-against-them contemporary information ecology is that it is so painfully difficult to make use of that information for personal advantage.

In the specific case of food intake, it should be reasonably trivial to aggregate purchase information, at grocery stores, restaurants, and online deliveries, and at least arrive at a reasonable baseline of total consumption. Rather than having to fill out a food diary from memory with uncertain measurments, one can rely on grocery and menu receipts directly.

This is more useful for those who live alone or shop for themselves (a large fraction of the population, but far from complete). It's based on the general principle that you tend to eat what you buy. There's some error imposed by food acquired elsewhere (shared at work, school, from friends, etc.), and of tossed food, but what you'll arrive at is over time a pretty accurate record of intake.

I'm surprised that such methods aren't more widely used or reported in both dietary management and research.

My own personal experience has been that I've been most successful in dietary management when 1) I have direct control over shopping and 2) I focus far more on what I eat than how much, though some of the latter applies. If I'm aware that specific foods are deleterious to goals (highly-processed, junk foods, high-caloric / high-sugar liquids, etc), then the most effective control point at minimum decision cost is at the store. If you don't buy crisps, chips, biscuits, fizzy drinks, ice cream, and the like, it's not at the house for you to consume.

I'm well aware that there are circumstances in which this is difficult to arrange, sometimes with friends or roommates, more often with families. I'll only say that clearly expressing terms and boundaries is tremendously useful here.
To get out from under OpenAI’s considerable obligation to Microsoft.

That is why there is the awkward “we’ll continue to consume Azure” sentence in there. Will be interesting to see if it works or if MS starts revving up their lawyers.
I think we're talking about two different things.

You're saying that some devices are measuring "resting heart rate" when it's not using the traditional definition, and comparing that number to the traditional definition is wrong, and I would agree.

I'm saying that the traditional measurement of resting heart rate is bad for a variety of reasons, one of which is that taking it while sitting at your couch at home after 15 minutes and having a stranger take it in the weird doctor's office can have very different results. And if our smart devices consistently measure an RHR on a regular basis, that's probably a better measurement of progress.
The Silicon-Valley bubble universe continues to introduce entropy that it feeds off of itself... Naming this Stargate when some of the largest effects AI has had is removing humans from processes to make other, fewer humans more efficient is emblematic of this hollow naming ethos - continuing to use the portal to shunt more and more humans out of the process that is humanity, with fairly reckless abandon. Who is Ra, and who is sending the nuke where, in this naming scheme? You decide.
$500 billion is a lot of money even by US government standards. It's about the size of all the new spending in the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure bill.
"create hundreds of thousands of American jobs"... Given the current educational system in the US, this should be fun to watch. Oh yeah, Musk and his H-1B Visa thing. Now it's making sense.
Am I the only one to have a problem with the "decluttering" movement.

It is not that I think that clutter is a good thing, but I think that decluttering focuses on the wrong side of the problem. That is, the real problem is not with what you are keeping, it is with what you are getting. Otherwise, it just encourages over-consumption.

Ok, your decluttered your house, disposing of all your junk, but now what? If you continue buying junk, then clutter will come back, then you will dispose of it, again, just to buy it again later. If you are doing that, you are better off keeping your clutter, at least it will make you think twice before buying some crap.

And by the way, I find it particularly ironic that Marie Kondo sells a whole lot of crap on her website, as if the message was "get rid of your stuff so you can put mine in its place".

The ideas are not bad, but I'd rather make them about the future rather than about the past. Don't ask yourself "does it spark joy" at home, ask yourself "will it spark joy" when you are shopping. Find the right place for the stuff you intend to buy, not for what you already have.

I’ve found verse recall to be a problem, but this can usually by mitigated by adding the verse to the prompt or pushing the LLM to search the web.

My guess would be it's all about electricity.

Texas has a .... unique energy market (literally! They don't connect to the national grid so they can avoid US Government regulations- that way it's not interstate commerce). Because of that spot prices fluctuate very wildly up and down, depending on the weather, demand, and their large quantity of renewables (Texas is good for solar and wind energy). When the weather is good for renewables they have very cheap electricity (lots of production and can't sell to anyone outside the state), when the weather is bad they can have incredibly expensive electricity (less production, can't buy from anyone outside the state). Larger markets, able to pull from larger pools of producers and consumers, just fluctuate less.

I know some bitcoin miners liked to be in Texas and basically worked as energy speculators: when electricity was cheap they would mine bitcoin, when it was expensive they shut down their plant- sometimes they even got paid by producers to shut-down their plant! I would bet that you could do a lot of that with AI training as well, given good checkpointing.

You wouldn't want to do inference there (which needs to be responsive and doesn't like 'oh this plant is going to shut down in one minute because a storm just came up') but for training it should be fine?
In other ways the strongest attraction can arise from things are are not "true north" either ;)

> I really do not understand why governments aren't working hard to make this kind of gig-economy illegal.

Because there's a large number of people who take the writings of Ayan Rand and the policies of Ronald Regan as the best way to run government.

Workers' rights are being eroded because we've slowly dismantled and privatized as much of the government as possible.

Workers' rights are incompatible with small government and or libertarian ideals. Much like other rights such as civil rights. Or rights to clean water, air, and food.

Big government isn't perfect, but for its flaws there are benefits having a large organization with a bigger stick to beat in line robber barons whose entire goal is to undermine rights as much as possible to leach maximum profit from society.
I don't get it, if this was government/American funded I could understand the marketing as "USA" secured infrastructure but like it's not?
It's called criminalisation of compliance and pre-crime. It exists because there is a compliance-industrial complex selling software to create compliance. More compliance, more revenue. Social discussion does not matter, because what's good and what's bad is determined by software and compliance companies.

Here is a book about it:

A funny thing happens to those who live or train in extreme environments, their body adapts over time. You or I might pass out if we were suddenly exposed to that sort of factory environment, but an experienced worker might handle limited exposure just fine. The human body is amazingly adaptable.

It was, a Smith-Corona, but it was a scientific version where the characters that were normally on the "shifted" top row number keys were instead subscripted numbers. So you could type chemical formulas with proper subscripts (or roll the paper down one notch and have superscripts) but it wasn't great for normal writing.

You probably still need to train the initial models in data centers, with local host mostly being used to run train models. At most we’d augment trained models with local data storage on local host.

If compute continues to become cheaper, local training might be feasible in 20 years.
The platform/infra distinction applies here. Remember that pre-cloud there was a short lived category called "application service providers" that would offer some app for you to use. Salesforce used to aggressively advertise "no more software!" and over on the IT side of the house people like Citrix were simulating multi-user NT with GUI terminal services. Plus the whole conversation around TCO and how thin clients might be the way forward.

All that was solving a (local) infrastructure problem. Cloud moved the infra to someone else's data center but it did not take long before they started allowing anyone to consume the back end services as a platform. (My pet theory is that S3 is the most industry-changing software written in the last 30 years...)

Today, people are locked into the platform. I can't move from X to Y because my business is welded to AWS S3, Lambda or Azure Kubernetes or whatever.
If your target is savvy enough not to click random links sent by strangers, it's hard to get them to load it. Many apps have caught onto the tracking pixel technique. It used to work for iMessage long ago.
Huh, a hunter-seeker
Not being upfront about prices is a major red flag, I associate it with someone selling pyramid schemes, or snake oil.

If I ask price and you insist on showing me a presentation to get me hooked and invested, I'm out. At that point you are bound to be talking to a salesman whose job it is to sell and you are experiencing a process that was designed and perfected to manipulate you into buying.

I don't want to buy from salesmen usually, directly from the manufacturer or provider is better, cut the middleman out. OTOH I have to be open to some imperfections, if we have to wait for someone or be inexperienced with sales process (introduction too long), that's fine.

On some industries it's possible for someone to do the work without saying price even. An electrician might be happy to do the work without talking about price, and then you have almost no recourse when it's a shitload.
I am not sure if OpenAI will be the winner despite this investment. Currently, I see various DeepSeek AI models as offering much more bang for the buck at a vastly cheaper cost for small tasks, but not yet for large context tasks.

In most of the western world the sentiment is that basic worker rights are a necessary element of social stability. And that just because a job "presents an opportunity for poorer communities to provide dinner for a family" it should not be excluded from receiving basic labor protections.
