There are people literally claiming masks and vaccines are against their religion. That's not victim blaming, it's stating a fact. It's the same as saying Joe got hurt in a car crash and wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
I don't need to imagine. Teachers almost everywhere around the globe have poor salaries. In my country there are lower enrolment requirements to universities to become a school teacher than almost every other field of study. Means the dumbest students are there.

And then later they go to the school to teach our future, working with high stress and low salary.

Same with medical school in many countries where healthcare is not privatized. Insane hours, huge responsibilities and poor pay for doctors and nurses in many countries.

Nowadays everyone wants to be an influencer or software developer.
One prominent counterexample is that made famous after the UnitedHealthcare CEO was shot and killed, that they employed a decision-making algorithm that apparently rejected 90% of claims with no audit trail or real justification besides cost estimates.
I mean, almost ALL opensource models, ever since alpaca, contain a ton of synthetic data produced via ChatGPT in their finetuning or training datasets. It's not a surprise to anyone who's been using OSS LLMs for a while: almost ALL of them hallucinate that they are ChatGPT.
> Has the average homeowner added more ceiling lights or lamps because of different bulbs?

As much as I appreciate the snark and sarcasm, at least where I live, the equivalent is happening.

Old home and commercial construction would typically have one central light per room. Homes would have a single light fixture with 1-3 lightbulbs at the center of each ceiling and were pretty dimly lit. Commercial would be similar with fluorescents. You would turn it off when you left a room.

New home and commercial construction has accent lighting all over the place, some turned on 24/7. Cabinets have under-cabinet-lights. Closets have closet lights. We have rows of LEDs lining all sorts of accents.

If you compare 80's-style construction to 2020's-style, the amount of new light seems to be about that much of an increase.
So I'm going to do something I don't normally do and defend Amazon only a little bit...

What likely happened was that somebody had an old and broken Rode mic and decided to scam Amazon. They purchased a new one, put the old one in the new packaging, and sent it in as a return with "ordered by mistake" or some other reason that doesn't indicate a broken or faulty item.

Amazon warehouse employees certainly don't (and never can) check out every return item for full functionality. My guess is that at the most, they make sure it's not just an empty box or a brick.

So, the only signal that Amazon has about whether to restock the item again is what the buyer stated for a return reason. If they tell the truth, they might get someone to take a closer look at the item and decide that it's not actually new. If they lie, they are both scamming Amazon and the next buyer.

Amazon _could_ treat _all_ returns as defective and destroy the returned items (historically how many brick-and-mortar retailers did it), but given their generous return policies, this probably means quite a big hit to their bottom line.
I use pixel 3 with https://calyxos.org/ as a home phone to play music, record videos, pictures etc. Calyxos is still providing extended support for 4a, but microG doesn't work as well compared to sandboxed google play services on grapheneos (which i use on my 7a). So if google services are not too important go ahead with calyxos.

Right now it is solar and wind electricity that is cheap. E-fuel [1] and other forms of chemical storage [2] are a thing but might not be so cheap. Seasonal storage might use methane and avoid the legendary boondoggle that is Fischer–Tropsch [3] but methane is itself a powerful greenhouse gas. A really good methane handling system loses much less but if you lose 1% of it you might as well be burning fossil fuels. Even hydrogen isn't completely benign [4] as it depletes those "negative ions" that were a fad in the 1970s and as a result prolongs the life of other greenhouse gases.

> I think people underestimate how much consumption there was in the past

Sure, but as a child I was limited to initial one TV station, later two. They started broadcasting at 16 - 17 and stopped around midnight. The subtract dinner time, programming after bed time and the stuff I had no interest in watching, That didn't leave many hours for TV.

I don't think it's the hours that's the point, because is it really better to read a book, a magazine or the newspaper? It really depends on the content you consume and the quality of the content has gone rapidly downhill since the invention of reality TV.
Because you can use actual value to incentivize what you want to see rather than "cheap" likes. At the same time if you provide posts that are valuable to others, then you receive value back.

"Stole" - I don't believe that word means what he thinks it means. Perhaps I pre-maturely anthropomorphize AI -- yet when I read a novel, such as The Sorcerer's Stone, I am not guilty of stealing Rowling's work, even if I didn't purchase the book but instead found it and read it in a friend's bathroom. Now if I were to take the specific plot and characters of that story and write a screenplay or novel directly based on it, and, explicitly, attempt to sell this work, perhaps the verb chosen here would be appropriate.
> I admit I am concerned when I see blatant algorithmic manipulation of social platforms to favor any narrative that aligns with geopolitical objectives.

I'm curious how robust this principle is for you, because China and Russia are not the first countries that come to mind when talking about the (actual, existing, documented) manipulation of US speech and media by a foreign government.

Yet it seems we can only have this discussion, ironically, when the subject is a US government-approved one like China. Anything else would be problematic and unsafe.
I am not aware about anyone being hit harder than Dianna by post-covid. Her case is extreme.

While she is gaining her power back, there is still a considerable probability of acquiring dementia for her, she is in the grey zone now.

And note, we read only what meets the eye. Below that line, there were extreme panic attacks (crashes) with a sense of imminent death. I think that in many cases, the death by itself is more peaceful than 100x repetitions of the associated experiences.

Panic attacks are usually treated as a psychological phenomenon, but in case of post-covid they have metabolic nature. Tiny parts of body tissues literally die out of energy starvation. It applies to energy-hungry organs first, brain, nervous system, heart, liver, muscles. The heavy cases of post covid is like being a zombie who is still alive, but with tissue hypoxia and consequential tiny necrotic spots hidden inside under a healthy rosy skin.
It seems he was virtue signaling before. So it would be more accurate to blame him for having let himself become an ego driven person in the past. Or to put it nicely and to add the context of Brian Armstrong of Coinbase, who has also been showing public support for Trump, a mission-driven person.
Low cost providers will not be the winner because those will become commodity. It’s the leading model, the one closest to AGI that will make all the profit.

Nvidia has products to serve lower end as well. There’s no reason why Nvidia can’t dominate in the commodity sector.

And if Nvidia can’t keep their high margins, they will make it up with significantly more volume (Jevons Paradox in play).

Yeah I think a lot of people are just old in this thread and are nodding along because that's how it used to be. They're talking for everyone as if they are the arbiters of what is sexy for everyone when it's clearly taking popular viewpoints from a specific time, place, and type of person. All of their examples of Phones used to be sexy are stupid. These people are just nostalgic.

The fact that they mention NEETs using Pornography and Video Games as supplements for relationship and achievement is a signal. Some people might do that but do you think most of these people would have done other decidedly sexy things had these things not existed? What is your argument? Even if it was true should we then force these men, who don't get attention from women, to do nothing but chase women and fail because it's "romantic", the world does not revolve around you. This woman sounds like those people who denigrate video games and pornography then watch 30 hours of trashy reality television a week and don't see the irony of their own behavior. We get it, your boyfriend won't pay attention to you because your relationship was poor in the first place and now you have an issue with others enjoying themselves.

Also, nothing is stopping you from being spontaneous, nothing is forcing you to look up the menu before you go to a restaurant. That is your active decision that you're crying about as if it's what everyone is forced to do. I have no issue being spontaneous and actively choose to not look stuff up all the time. People like this are the same type of people to try and police others behavior but never discover their own flaws or ignore double standards because it benefits them, and yet decry others are living terribly.
Getting swatted by your smartphone sounds like a Black Mirror episode.
Well no. It's not uncommon for p-values to be even lower than that. We are talking about a specific SNP (allele) having a specific mutation being predictive of a phenotype / outcome.

So, a specific SNP mutation being predictive of a gene expression / protein is basically a p-value of 0.

After a long career in global tech I have to take issue with that, but then I'd be relying on my own memories of colleagues, bosses, and hires, and not quantifiable data. We're discussing school kids, after all.
At Microsoft’s size, they don’t care; they just buy out others.
I think there's two different things going on here:

"DeepSeek trained on our outputs and that's not fair because those outputs are ours, and you shouldn't take other peoples' data!" This is obviously extremely silly, because that's exactly how OpenAI got all of its training data in the first place - by scraping other peoples' data off the internet.

"DeepSeek trained on our outputs, and so their claims of replicating o1-level performance from scratch are not really true" This is at least plausibly a valid claim. The DeepSeek R1 paper shows that distillation is really powerful (e.g. they show Llama models get a huge boost by finetuning on R1 outputs), and if it were the case that DeepSeek were using a bunch of o1 outputs to train their model, that would legitimately cast doubt on the narrative of training efficiency. But that's a separate question from whether it's somehow unethical to use OpenAI's data the same way OpenAI uses everyone else's data.
> if intelligence is ultimately a function of power input, what is the shape of the curve?

According to a quick google search, the human body consumes ~145W of power over 24h (eating 3000kcals/day). The brain needs ~20% of that so 29W/day. Much less than our current designs of software & (especially) hardware for AI.
The economic liberalization of China and its participation in global markets has led to the fastest and most widespread reduction in poverty in human history. Even if we could have kept China in the dirt, it's extremely questionable if that would be the right thing to do.
While it's clearly content marketing aimed at the hype of DeepSeek, it only mentions Lago in a single sentence.

It's just an article that is aimed to get you to hear about Lago, star their GitHub repository and eventually talk about the "open source" billing tool you heard about called Lago.

Taking responsibility isn't the same as accepting blame and guilt. Maybe i didnt cause an oil spill but ill do my best to try to clean it up.

>Thinking that we can’t be blamed for our decisions, in my experience, is counterproductive to overcoming bad habits.

I think the opposite. We are entirely 100% the result of outside influences: our parents, our culture, genetics, society. The only way you can argue otherwise is to appeal to some religious concept of a soul or something. Looking deeply into this, we can learn who we are and why we are the way that we are. Only then can we see how best to move forward and in which direction. Once you see that the some algorithm is an unhealthy influence, you can try to avoid it. The exact same lessons are present in Buddhism with its insights into self and interdependence; it's probably the largest influence that lead me to see things this way.

>They believe that because “the algorithm” is addictive, they shouldn’t feel bad about using social media to excess.

I don't think it is rational or healthy to "feel bad" and harbor guilt because you were manipulated and mistreated. It can lead to depression. We are in an unhealthy society and it is productive to see this truth so we can then try to extricate ourselves from its traps.

This destroyed my phone, and their appeasement process was terrible too.

The whole thing is ridiculous and poorly handled. Sadly, if my phone had just cracked or failed to turn on, I'd probably have upgraded happily and moved on with my life. As it is, now I feel like something was taken from me. So it goes
Personally I don't trust a NAS as far as I can throw it, or rather I'd use one the way I use Amazon S3.

My home server has a ZFS array, the media server and some other programs access it directly. If I want to move files to or from it I use SFTP. If I want to back files up to it I use rsync. I have Lightroom running pretty good on an external HDD, no way I'd take my chances running it on a NAS.
Didn't he lie about having a physics degree?
I think the important metric will be if we can compete against the price of AWS or Microsoft in running large LLMs, not their time to market. Competing on cost against overpriced hyperscalers is not very hard, and $30K is a small investment, not a gamble. If it would fail, worst case you would only loose $3000-$6500 or so.
