I'm not sure Donold is actually good at negotiations. The last time, the tariffs did not have the intended effect, we had to bail out farmers from reciprocal tariffs, and the deal to end it was not honored by the other side (did not buy anywhere near the amount of farm products they agreed to)

He is first and foremost a reality TV star, second an unilateral directory of a family real estate empire. All of his other "businesses" are largely brand deals for his name, most of which went bankrupt

I think the reason he reaches for things like tariffs is because he is lacks experience in and is unable to negotiate and build consensus, especially with members of congress. Tariffs are a unilateral action he can take, which is like how he has operated in his private family businesses

Saying "X genocide did not happen" clearly falls under the rule.

But I wonder if saying "I think that X genocide did not happen", which is statement of opinion, would be considered by censors/moderators to be hate speech.
> why the hell wouldn't it be possible, in principle, to regulate them as public utilities and forbid them by law from censorship or other nefarious practices?

You're arguing with a strawman, I never said it's impossible in principle. I said it isn't currently categorized as a utility, hence they are free to censor as they see fit.

It's entirely possible for the courts of the USA to deem it a utility, and it'd be interested to see the long term effects of such ruling.

The ruling would only apply to citizens of the USA, so it'd be very interesting to see how the companies in question implemented the changes to stay compliant.

It'd be an interesting case study, but it's impossible to speculate on its fallout until a clear plan has been drafted. I.e. It could potentially make it impossible for newcomers to create platforms, depending on the angle for such a regulation. Or it could make changes to the algorithm borderline impossible etc.

basically countless pitfalls and without a clear draft, nothing of value can be discussed

IIRC, formally "personne" has to be used with the "ne" negation in order to mean 'nobody', such as "personne ne l'a vu", which makes a certain kind of sense ('a person hasn't seen it' -> nobody has seen it). But French people usually drop "ne" in spoken language.

The Hyperloop: A 200-Year History of Hype and Failure
It's unfair, because we are talking in the hindsight about everything but Project Stargate, and it's also just your list (and I don't know what others could add to it) but it got me thinking. Manhattan Project goal is to make a powerful bomb. Apollo is to get to the Moon before soviets do (so, because of hubris, but still there is a concrete goal). South-North Water Transfer is pretty much terraforming, and others are mostly roads. I mean, it's all kinda understandable.

And Stargate Project is... what exactly? What is the goal? To make Altman richer, or is there any more or less concrete goal to achieve?

Also, few items for comparison, that I googled while thinking about it:

- Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository: $96B

- ITER: $65B

- Hubble Space Telescope: $16B

- JWST: $11B

I agree with your take, and actually go a bit further. I think the idea of "diminishing returns" is a bit of a red herring, and it's instead a combination of saturated benchmarks (and testing in general) and expectations of "one llm to rule them all". This might not be the case.

We've seen with oAI and Anthropic, and rumoured with Google, that holding your "best" model and using it to generate datasets for smaller but almost as capable models is one way to go forward. I would say that this shows the "big models" are more capable than it would seem and that they also open up new avenues.

We know that Meta used L2 to filter and improve its training sets for L3. We are also seeing how "long form" content + filtering + RL leads to amazing things (what people call "reasoning" models). Semantics might be a bit ambitious, but this really opens up the path towards -> documentation + virtual environments + many rollouts + filtering by SotA models => new dataset for next gen models.

That, plus optimisations (early exit from meta, titans from google, distillation from everyone, etc) really makes me question the "we've hit a wall" rhetoric. I think there are enough tools on the table today to either jump the wall, or move around it.
I think what you mean is that if a Square that is also a Rectangle can't be made to be non-square, then inheritance works. Which, fair enough, but I think there's still other good reasons that inheritance is a bad approach. Interfaces (and traits) are still way better.
That's one way of phrasing it, and unfortunately some jurisdictions have adopted that phrase, but it is not correct.

A preponderance of the evidence is the greater weight of the evidence after all evidence is considered. Heuristics along the lines of "yeah that fits my priors"—which is what is actually meant by "more likely than not"—are explicitly disallowed.

If Joe Smith in Smalltown, Ohio was hit by a blue bus, and hammock owns 51 of the 100 blue buses in Smalltown whereas torstenvl owns 49 of the 100 blue buses, that is insufficient evidence by itself to prevail by a preponderance standard against hammock in a civil suit.

From the homepage it sounds like they've prioritised geometry fidelity for CV research rather than performance:

> Infinigen is optimized for computer vision research, particularly 3D vision. Infinigen does not use bump/normal-maps, full-transparency, or other techniques which fake geometric detail. All fine details of geometry from Infinigen are real, ensuring accurate 3D ground truth.

So I suspect the assets wouldn't be particularly optimised for video games. Perhaps a good starting point though!

Motivated reasoning sings nicely to the tune of billions of dollars. None of these folks will ever say, "don't waste money on this dead end".

Besides what ImJamal said, as a wealthy playboy man-about-town hanging out at Studio 54 in the '70s and '80s, I guarantee Trump has known and been friends with more gays than 95% of Americans. Certainly there has been no shortage of gay people among his top-level appointees in either his first or second administrations.
I’m sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about. 95% relative humidity means sweat won’t evaporate, and there is no evaporative cooling. 100F external temps are above cooling temps and near dangerous baseline body temperatures.

100+F + 95% relative humidity will literally kill people, regardless of adaptations. Fans won’t help.

Fatal core temperature ranges are so close, even baseline metabolic heat can kill someone from hyperthermia in those conditions.

[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10010916/#:~:text=F....]

In a general environmental sense, current estimates have 95F outside temps and 95% relative humidity being the point where mass die offs of mammals start to occur. It’s a major concern with global temperature changes [https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0913352107].

Skin temperatures > 95F (which will occur if air temp is 95F or higher and there is no evaporative cooling ability) inevitably lead to hyperthermia even in fit and acclimated individuals - even at rest

Most of the time, people just don’t realize what the actual relative humidity is. ‘Terribly humid’ is usually more like 60% RH.

95% is saturated, often foggy/misty.

‘At least it’s a dry heat’ in Deserts, which allows people to survive high temps, are often 5-10% relative humidity or even lower. There, the biggest challenge is staying hydrated enough to sustain the rapid loss of water. In some situations it’s possible to lose a gallon an hour. But it’s possible.

In 95% RH, that gallon makes no difference and you’ll flat out die instead.
Even with react, we have found that having a separate API layer was more ergonomic.

Can constructors and destructors still go counter to this idea if needed?
If you have a sufficiently statically typed language then the is-a concern goes away -- certainly in the example you gave, since the compiler/linker knows to look for a `GetNotifier()` that returns a `Notifier`. Now, you might still want to know whether the notifier you got satisfies other traits than just those of `Notifier`, but you do that by using a type that has those traits rather than `Notifier`, and now you have little need for `instanceof` or similar operators. (You still might want to know what kind of thing you got because you might care about semantics that are not expressed in the interface. For example you might care to know whether a logger is "fast" as in local or "slow" as in remote, as that might cause you to log less verbosely to avoid drops or blocking or whatever. But the need for this `instanceof` goes down dramatically if you have interfaces and traits.)

Microsoft loses status as OpenAI's exclusive cloud provider
Clang getting more aggressive about optimizing undefined behavior
How is that funny?

A utility is something that is regulated, it comes with a lot of caveats and challenges. It's not just a label you can put on anything, you need to actually define and set boundaries etc to what the utility provider is required to do etc.

This has happened for ISPs, but none of that has happened for Twitter, Facebook etc... thus it's not a utility, thus it's not bound to the free speech amendment.
Here is what I think is going on in this announcement. Take the 4 major commodity cloud companies (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle) and determine: do they have big data centers and do they have their own AI product organization?

- Google has a massive data center division (Google Cloud / GCP) and a massive AI product division (Deep Mind / Gemini).

- Microsoft has a massive data center division (Azure) but no significant AI product division; for the most part, they build their "Copilot" functionality atop their partner version of the OpenAI APIs.

- Amazon has a massive data center division (Amazon Web Services / AWS) but no significant AI product division; for the most part, they are hedging their bets here with an investment in Anthropic and support for running models inside AWS (e.g. Bedrock).

- Oracle has a massive data center division (Oracle Cloud / OCI) but no significant AI product division.

Now look at OpenAI by comparison. OpenAI has no data center division, as the whole company is basically the AI product division and related R&D. But, at the moment, their data centers come exclusively from their partnership with Microsoft.

This announcement is OpenAI succeeding in a multi-party negotiation with Microsoft, Oracle, and the new administration of the US Gov't. Oracle will build the new data centers, which it knows how to do. OpenAI will use the compute in these new data centers, which it knows how to do. Microsoft granted OpenAI an exception to their exclusive cloud compute licensing arrangement, due to this special circumstance. Masa helps raise the money for the joint venture, which he knows how to do. US Gov't puts its seal on it to make it a more valuable joint venture and to clear regulatory roadblocks for big parallel data center build-outs. The current administration gets to take credit as "doing something in the AI space," while also framing it in national industrial policy terms ("data centers built in the USA").

The clear winner in all of this is OpenAI, which has politically and economically navigated its way to a multi-cloud arrangement, while still outsourcing physical data center management to Microsoft and Oracle. Probably their deal with Oracle will end up looking like their deal with Microsoft, where the trade is compute capacity for API credits that Oracle can use in its higher level database products.

OpenAI probably only needs two well-capitalized hardware providers competing for their CPU+GPU business in order to have a "good enough" commodity market to carry them to the next level of scaling, and now they have it.

Google increasingly has a strategic reason not to sell OpenAI any of its cloud compute, and Amazon could be headed in that direction too. So this was more strategically (and existentially) important to OpenAI than one might have imagined.

Generatove AI has all but solved the Frame Problem.

Those expressions where intractable bc of the impossibility to represent in logic all the background knowledge that is required to understand the context.

It turns out, it is possible to represent all that knowledge in compressed form, with statistical summarisation applied to humongous amounts of data and processing power, unimaginable back then; this puts the knowledge in reach of the algorithm processing the sentence, which is thus capable of understanding the context.

> One of the arguments for a SPA is that it provides a more reactive customer experience. I think that’s mostly debunked at this point

That's not true. You absolutely can make edge applications faster than anything running server-side. A great example is Linear, it can switch between issues within 100ms (it even supports hjkl keys for navigation!).

But this requires you to be EXTREMELY careful. In case of Linear, they're using a sync engine to replicate the data onto the client side, rather than doing the request/response model.
Yeah, I'm not sure why we're pretending this will benefit the public. The only benefit is that it will create employment, and datacenter jobs are among the lowest paid tech workers in the industry.
Angular apologist here. Learning curve is somewhat steep but I can be immediately productive in it and testing is built into the framework as a first-class citizen. Routing, debugging, state management, SSR, it’s all there. I like the separation of controllers, HTML, spec tests, and CSS because it allows the developer to reason about these separately. DX is damn good.

In fact I recently whipped up a front-end UI in a few days using the BAEL stack (Bootstrap Angular Electron). You still need the data layer of course, but this would be true of any UI framework unless you want to go full monolith like Rails (which I still fully believe is a superb solution).

And having done Rails, React, Angular, and a mishmash of other frameworks, libraries, and architectures, I can say that a “pure” Rails app out of the box is impressively good for most use cases, especially now with Turbo.

Yes, this is a fact. HTMX / Unpoly are just lighter solutions and much easier to debug.
Inheriting from a class creates dispatch problems, and there's instance variables/fields/whatever to deal with. Never mind multiple inheritance, as that gets hairy real fast. With interfaces there is no hierarchy, and all there is is a type and a data, and you either pass them around together, you monomorphize to avoid the need to pass two pointers instead of one, or you have the data point to its type in a generic way. With class hierarchies you have to have operations to cast data up and down the hierarchy, meaning trade one dispatch table for another.
I've had exactly the same experience.
