I received the email from Google notifying me of this "battery performance update" for my Pixel 4A which actually drains the battery faster, so it left me scratching my head wondering what a "performance update" is for Google.

After the update, my battery was depleted at an alarming rate. I applied for the $100 voucher but I've never heard back from Google. So I decided to bite the bullet and moved to iPhone instead. Apple might not be the best, but this was the last straw for me.

I use it through Kagi Assistant which has the proper R1 model through Together.ai/Fireworks.ai

My standard test is to ask the model to write a QSyntaxHighlighter subclass that uses TreeSitter to implement syntax highlighting. O1 can do it after a few iterations, but R1’s output has been a mess. That said, its thought process revealed a few issues that I then fixed in my canonical implementation.
Many regulations are created by executive action, without input from Congress. The Council on Environmental Quality, created by the National Environmental Policy Act, has the power to issue it's own regulations. Executive Orders can function similarly and the executive can order rulemaking bodies to create and remove regulations, though there is a judicial effort to restrict this kind of policymaking and return regulatory power back to Congress.
I'm with you about not wanting the autofill, but I use the key combo mentioned below in nearly 100% of cases.

The vast majority of the time I'm opening the extension popover it's because the key combo failed to autofill (site doesn't support it) and I need to manually copy/paste.

For extra fun - the Key combo is customizable if you don't like ctrl-shift-L

Just hit up chrome://extensions/shortcuts and change the combo to something you'd like.

OpenAI has been in a war-room for days searching for a match in the data, and they just came out with this without providing proof.

My cynical opinion is that the traning corpus has some small amount of data generated by OpenAI, which is probably impossible to avoid at this point, and they are hanging on that thread for dear life.
This kind of blithe commentary is 20 years out of date and reminiscent of 1970s criticisms of the Japanese car industry.

While companies will always follow the path of least resistance and prefer as little regulation as possible to make money without a lot of headaches, most people will prefer their privacy be respected and their data not sold-off without their approval or used in undocumented ways, even if it leads to less innovation in the corporate landscape.
> Reader also had no vendor lock in at all. There’s no network effect like Facebook.

Reader had a massive social graph and strong network effects. There were social feeds that only existed in Reader and vanished when Reader shut down. I know I had friends that didn't blog but curated fascinating social feeds in Reader based on how widely they read. There were shared comments that only existed in Reader and entire discussions that happened in the margins of feeds that were lost.

Those social feeds were a discoverability joy. You'd find new feeds for yourself. You'd encourage friends to follow feeds you most recommended. None of the replacements have ever quite felt the same. (I love Newsblur, and it has versions of most of those social features, but it has never had the network effect, and probably never will.)

At one point too, the feeds in Reader included full histories up until the date someone first added the feed to Reader. You could scroll back through time "forever" on some feeds all the way to their first posts, sometimes posts that even the site itself had deleted since (and still read Reader-only comments on them). RSS feeds generally only provide the most recent dozen or so posts. Reader was tracking everything. That was a massive infrastructure demand in the Google scale that just about only Google could have done. None of the replacements try, and generally only keep about 45-90 days of feed activity.

Sure, it wasn't a completely walled garden, like Facebook, but it's still a case of Google killing the largest social network it had with the most beloved network effects for a marginal increase in vendor lock-in. They had good vendor lock-in that few could have competed with, and the replacements today are still scored on how much they can't compete with it, despite matching features.
I have run personal tests and the results are at least as good as I get from OpenAI. Smarter people have also reached the same conclusion. Of course you can find contrary datapoints, but it doesn't change the big picture.
A close family member has permanent heart failure caused by the first Covid booster.

They now go to the top heart hospital in the world.

The doctors there say that while nothing can be proven for certain - obviously - the timing of their booster and the onset of their heart symptoms and the fact that there was no indication they had Covid at the time all point to the high probability it was the vaccine.

And they’ve seen this in other patients.

The scary thing is that this person had symptoms of heart failure for months before going to the ER and if they hadn’t, would have probably just died in their sleep long after getting the shot and it would have been a mystery, chalked up to bad luck and age.

Ironically, their current status with heart failure puts them in a high risk group and the recommendation is that they keep getting Covid boosters. The logic here is that the chances of getting another bad reaction from the vaccine is overruled by the chances they’d die from severe Covid.

It’s not as cut and dry as people on either side of this debate want to make it.

I'm not interested in prosecuting that David gives off fascist vibes. I don't have to provide proof. Kinda lazy that you're all not out there looking for the proof yourself.

To reorient the discussion around what the original poster talked about, that he gives off Elon Musk Vibes. And that it's a problem. Well it IS a problem. A problem openly, and vigorously discussed in the Ruby community.

Many people have left the Ruby community because of his behavior, and many more have chosen never to come into the community because of it. Because of the perceived strong association between him and the Ruby and Rails community at large.

Anyways, as per my original point, that despite the Fascist vibes from that guy, Ruby and Rails are still really great choices.
This is very interesting. I wish they put some explanation into the mechanics of how a bill like this would prevent / deal with these lawsuits. It mentions a special motion but it's not clear what the rules are for ruling on that / considering the situation.
How did you get diagnosed eventually? What all tests did you go thru first?
Unfairly?

That’s sort of a weird way of putting it! Look at these immigrants to USA “unfairly” exploiting their own relative poverty and lower standards of living and entertainment to outcompete regular Americans! The tiger moms also “unfairly” use their higher standards of achievement for their kids to send them to get piano lessons and KUMON centers instead of hanging out with their friends in the park. It’s so unfair! We have to restrict their opportunities. Maybe have quotas at the universities…

It sounds a bit like that but on an international scale. I mean, one could argue it is far more unfair that they are behind in standards of living in the first place, what with all the Western imperialism and opium wars and British Raj. In India it is more unfair that Britain helped the East India company and engineered famines in the 1700s through 1940s through requisitioning grain, than the “unfairness” of Indian H1B visa workers “taking our jobs” now in a boomerang.

======

The only sense of “fairness” that makes any coherent sense here is that advanced countries should all cooperate to have minimum standards of living and human rights for everyone in them. Well, if we are going to cooperate on that, we may as well cooperate on non-proliferation of dangerous AI, as we successfully did with nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and CFCs. But the upsides of AI are “too sweet” (to quote nuclear researchers) to actually do cooperation, so we do competition instead.

What is “unfair” about competition by exploiting lower standards of living or different culture, if you rule out cooperation?
How many SpaceX employees in D.C. shit their pants when Musk showed up?
Somewhat unrelated, I guess, but we used to use a split line shebang for tcl like the following

#!/bin/sh
# A Tcl comment, whose contents don't matter \
exec tclsh "$0" "$@"

- The first line runs the shell

- The second line is treated like a commend by the shell (and Tcl)

- The third line is executed by the shell to run Tcl with all the command line args. But then Tcl treats it as part of the second line (a comment).

Edit: Doing a bit of web searching (it's been a while since I last had the option to program in Tcl), this was also used to work around line length limitations in shebang. And also it let you exec Tcl from your path, rather than hard code it.

Usually I'm very much on the side of protecting America's interests from China, but in this case I'm so disgusted with OpenAI and the rest of BigTech driving this "arms race" that I'd be happy with them burning to the ground.

So we're going to reverse our goals to reduce emissions and fossil fuels in order to hopefully save future generations from the worst effects of climate change, in the name of being able to do what, exactly, that is actually benefiting humanity? Boost corporate profits by reducing labor?
Bill gates in his recent interview with WSJ said one of his past mistakes he regrets is not having a Microsoft office in DC sooner.
Yes, but in science you reference your work and credit those who came before you.

Edit: I am not defending OpenAI and we are all enjoying the irony here. But it puts into perspective some of the wilder claims circulating that DeekSeek was able to somehow complete with OpenAI for only $5M, as if on a level playing field.

You can read out the FARM logs of Seagate hard drives using

smartctl -l farm /dev/sd<n>

They're supposed to be "more trustworthy" than the regular SMART stats.

(My two "new" 16TB Exos drives had 0 hours (regular) and ~18k hours (farm) - DOM 04JUN2021 and 07JUN2021. Also, zfs refused to format the drive: 'already formatted as ddf_raid_member'.)
Would grapheneos (https://grapheneos.org/) help with this? I am using a pixel 4a as a "house phone" so it is plugged in all the time but I wonder if I should upgrade.
This is the way. We need to restrict IP protection, especially temporally.
We wouldn't be here discussing if nobody invented internet... nor these models had training data at all.

> Separately, I do think that now that the Chinese leadership saw this, that they have the chops to pull this off and then some, they are probably going to rein in future innovations; they'll likely demand that the big future discoveries remain closed-sourced (or even unannounced/unpublicized).

How do we know that this is not already happening with OpenAI/Meta and the U.S. government at some level? The concept of power is equal, whether we wanted it or not. We don't have to pretend to be "better" all the time.
The source being available means the code is "source available." Open implies more rights.
Ya cool, does this change the result? No.

Europe has no competitors to the US/Chinese tech giants and their citizens want to use technology like anybody else without a layer of bureaucracy preventing them from doing basic stuff.

I don't think European citizens have been forced to use Uber, Airbnb, Apple, Android, Facebook , WhatsApp and so on.
> AI won't scrub a toilet, but it will cheaply and inexhaustibly do every job that humans find meaningful today

That's the part I really don't believe. I'm open to being wrong about this, the risk is probably large enough to warrant considering it even if the probability of this happening is low, but I do think it's quite low.

We don't actually have to build artificial humans. It's very difficult and very far away. It's a research program that is related to but not identical to the research program leading to tools that have intelligence as a feature.

We should be, and in fact we are, building tools. I'm convinced that the mental model many people here and elsewhere are applying is essentially "AGI = artificial human", simply because the human is the only kind of thing in the world that we know that appears to have general intelligence.

But that mental model is flawed. We'll be putting intelligence in all sorts of places that are not similar to a human at all, without those devices competing with us at being human.
The amount of compute required for R1 to determine that strawberry has 3 Rs is hilarious..

I'm not so convinced that the Nvidia panic is justified.
This reminds me of the railroads, where once railroads were invented, there was a huge investment boom of eveyrone trying to make money of the railroads, but the competition brought the costs down where the railroads weren’t the people who generally made the money and got the benefit, but the consumers and regular businesses did and competition caused many to fail.

AI is probably similar where the Moore’s law and advancement will eventually allow people to run open models locally and bring down the cost of operation. Competiition will make it hard for all but one or two players to survive and Nvidia, OpenAI, Deepseek, etc most investments in AI by these large companies will fail to generate substantial wealth but maybe earn some sort of return or maybe not.

It might be okay if production and transportation only work some of the time if you can store up enough fuel to ride out the outages. That's how it works today for fuel transportation; gas stations commonly go without deliveries for days or weeks at a time when roads are snowed out, for example, and oil tankers and LNG tankers make their deliveries even less frequently.

In particular, solar and wind won't produce any fuel at night when no wind is blowing, and may not produce enough fuel during the rainy season or winter.

Rule of law means that an unbiased judge with an understanding of the relevant precedents allows two litigants to argue their cases on the merits of the case and of the evidence, and then when the judge or jury renders a judgement, the society accepts the judgement and allows any consequences to be carried out without regard for who the judgement is for or against. It has nothing to do with "clear guidance" because what is clear as day to one person may be totally unfathomable to another. I guarantee that you or I could find two statutes together that make perfect sense to me but which you do not understand, and vice-versa. That's why we have attorneys and judges.

- You: Well he said he wasn't going to do it, he lied!

You missed the wink and the fingers crossed behind his back, but the rest of us picked up on it. Sorry you weren't paying attention to that, but Kamala pointed it out to you, so you can't say you weren't warned.

>If you can't translate your email into a foreign language, how is the AI going to rewrite your incorrect prose into correct prose? it's working on something incorrect. And then after the ai rewrites it, how can you tell if it's saying what you want it to?

Absolutely this. "Accessibility" and "participation" are great goals on paper, but the tools at hand are likely to introduce confusion because the user fundamentally isn't in a position to judge the quality of the output.
You mean charge a 27x lower price, but have 45x lower costs, so your profit margin has doubled?

Your relative margin may have doubled, but your absolute profit-per-item hasn't. Say you had a 10% margin before, at a $100 price and $90 cost, for a $10 profit-per-item. Reduce price 27x and cost 45x, so $3.7 price, $2 cost, and $1.7 profit-per-item. 6x less profit - not as bad as 27x, but not good if you're OpenAI.

Induced Demand is a poorly conceived mental model.

The concept of "Induced Demand" is easily explained by the default state of the downward sloping demand curve, and upward sloping supply curve.

In basic economic theory, if you reduce the cost of a good, more people will consume it.

e.g. the classic building a highway example; there was always demand for cheap housing with accessibility to downtowns, but the supply of cheap housing with accessibility to downtowns did not exist prior to building the highway there. The "demand curve" doesn't shift at all, you're just moving along it as perception of cost changes.

Has there ever been a case where a highway was run through the middle of nowhere and traffic didn't increase? It's intuitive why

I'm not really sure how Apple's Hide My Email works, but my impression is they work by creating a proxy email for you. If that is the case, it should be a good solution for protecting you privacy. The problem is you become hostage to Apple, because now if you loose access to your Apple account you also loose access to ALL your accounts(potentially). It's probably on the same level as using a password manager like BitWarden.

I've just explained the problem with the gmail tagging in another comment.
People say this, but when it comes to AI models, the training data is not owned by these companies/groups, so it cannot be "open sourced" in any sense. And the training code is basically accessing that training data that cannot be open sourced, therefore it also cannot be shared. So the full open source model you wish to have can only provide subpar results.

My question back to you would be, will the content look like it's been written and posted by an AI? What about instead of focusing on AI doing creative content generation you have an AI that does all of that other work that keeps you busy running your business so you could focus on creative content generation?

In general when I see AI doing creative works it seems incredibly obvious to me and strikes me as incredibly lazy. Creativity of the human brain is what has given us the great works throughout history shuffling that off to AI seems foolish to me. If it's only good enough for AI to say it does it really need to be said? Let AI handle the grunt work tasks that keep everyone busy so the human is freed up to focus on creative endeavors.
