1. DEI is being exposed as the fallacy it is; hiring on merit is covertly taking over
2. "Immigrants are taking my job" is a bullshit excuse. Get good, son.
3. This is the most hilarious take: "ai" llms will take my job? If I'm pumping out the exact same stuff all the time (ie, I'm a mediocre dev) then perhaps yes. But software engineers are creating new solutions, figuring out novel ways to do things - just look at deepseek, programmed by _humans_, not another llm. Or consider the Einstein problem posed recently to top models with no solutions forthcoming.

If you're scared ai is going to take your dev job, perhaps you really shouldn't be in the game - either you've overestimated the significance of llms (which informs me a lot about your skill level and general understanding) or you're writing the same bullshit over and over, and you could be replaced by a good template generation script (don't even need ai). In either case, _you_ should move on now, find a corporate pigeonhole to hide in. If you're a passionate creator of new and novel solutions, you'll find your career can only go upwards, and I don't mean into PHB territory.
It's true in the informal sense. Normal people, when considering an "infinitely" bad thing happening (being killed, losing their home, etc) with a very low probability will round that probability to zero ("It won't happen to ME"), multiply the two and resultantly spend zero time worrying about it, planning for it, etc.

For instance, a serial killer could kill me (infinitely bad outcome) but the chance of that happening is so tiny I treat it as zero, and so when I leave my house every day I don't look into the bushes for a psycho murderer waiting there for me, I don't wear body armor, I am unarmed, I don't even think about the chance of being killed by a serial killer. For all practical intents and purposes I treat that possibility as zero.

Important to remember that different people gave different thresholds at which they round to zero. Some people run through dark parking garages and jump into their car because they don't round the risk of a killer under their car slashing their achilles tendons down to zero. Some people carry a gun everywhere they go, because they don't round the risk of encountering a mass shooter to zero. Some people invest their time and money pursuing spaceflight development because they don't round a dino-killing asteroid to zero. A lot of people don't round the chance of wrecking a motorcycle to zero, and therefore don't buy one even though they look like fun.

The lesswrong/rationalist people have a tendency to have very low thresholds at which they'll start to round to zero, at least when the potential harm would be met out to a large portion of humanity. Their unusually low threshold leads them to very unusual conclusions. They take seriously possibilities which most people consider to be essentially zero, giving rise to the perception that rationalists don't think that infinity * 0 = 0.
The Swift compiler, LLVM, Swift Standard Library, CoreDispatch, the Swift Package Manager and the Swift LLDB debugger are all FOSS and allow you to compile, debug, deploy, sell, buy and ship any binary you want under the terms of the Apache License 2.0.

Deployment of any software (unrelated to Swift) on Apple's platforms is entirely unrelated (and even then, at least on macOS you and any other user can install, sell, buy (...) any binary as desired).

Then the claims are unsubstantiated. Political speech is some of the most twisted and manipulated. Unsubstantiated political claims are basically worthless. I'm willing to trust, if you are willing to verify. Engage in the discussion if you are serious about your claims.

"Everyone who disagrees with me is a National Socialist", is a tired line I've been reading on the Interwebs for a long time now. If you are unwilling to substantiate it, it is an odious comparison that trivializes one of the most murderous ideologies of the last century, second only to communism. These ideas demand serious treatment.

If you genuinely care about such things, you would take them more seriously. You might take the time to understand the genesis of these collectivist ideologies. After that, you might choose to champion ideals which stand in contrast. Individualism and individual self-ownership as the basis of private property would be one approach. Those who reason from these first principles are generally in favor of reducing the size of the state.
I’ve never encountered anything like Egan before. I’ve heard Stanislaw Lem mentioned in conversations about him though. But I can’t vouch for the comparison myself as I’ve never read Lem.
It seems to me that it was extensively investigated and the strongest claims about Russian influence didn’t end up being true.

What is "free code"? Most code is either proprietary (though sometimes public), under a permissive license or under a copyleft license. The only free code is code which is in the public domain.

You could make separate versions of an LLM depending on the license of its output. If it has t produce public domain code, it can only be trained on the public domain. If if has to produce permissive code (without attribution), then it can be trained on the public domain and permissive code. If copyleft, then those two and copyleft (but it does not solve attribution).

> Companies can also buy code for feeding the model after all.

We've come a long way since the time slavery was common (at least in the west) but we still have a class system where rich people can pay a one time fee (buying a company) and extract value in perpetuity from people putting in continuous work while doing nothing of value themselves. This kind of passive income is fundamentally unjust but pervasive enough that people accept it, just like they accepted slavery as a fact of life back then.

Companies have a stronger bargaining position than individuals (one of the reasons beside defense why people form states - to represent a common interest against companies). This is gonna lead to companies (the rich) paying a one time fee, then extracting value forever while the individual has to invest effort into looking for another job. Compensation for buying code can only be fair if it's a percentage of the value generated by that code.

> So beside the injustice you directly experience right now over your own code probably being fed into AI models, do you fear/despise anything more than that from LLMs?

Umm, I think theft on a civilization-level scale is sufficient.

They won't have different models, in any other ways than if you want more storage (up to 4 TB, we don't know the lowest they will sell) and cabling necessary for connecting two DIGITS (it won't be included in the box).

We already know that it is going to be one single CPU and GPU and fixed memory. The GPU is most likely the RTX 5070 Ti laptop model (992 TFLOPS, clocked 1% higher to get 1 PFLOP).
A naive observer would look at these numbers and say “wow, I am unsurprised that this movement is made mostly of straight white American male tech workers”.

I used to go out in drag in Halloween before things got so polarized. Many people thought I had a great costume but I'd always seem some microexpressions of disgust enough to know I was doing something that wasn't completely safe.

I was very inclined to think positively of transgender people ten years ago but my own experience with them on Mastodon and in other places has led me to agree with the person you're replying to. It was when I started reading their words as opposed to reading about them in the media that I became more negative. People were sharing so many hateful memes on Mastodon that I had to put in a large number of filtering rules so that I can't see anything they post except for the hateful image memes that can't be filtered because the only text is in the filter.

It's almost as if some of these people have a fascination with assholes like Kiwi Farms and see it as a template for activism, like they build their whole lives and find all their meaning out of hating and being hated. See that "Witch Hunt of J.K. Rowling" podcast -- yes, there are jerks online who say horrible stuff like that to them, but that doesn't make it a righteous cause to that to other people; by fighting for territory that they couldn't defend they may have turned people against them and lost rights that they could have kept. They mirror the hatred and intolerance of the people they hate.

So I don't agree that "Hate for trans has nothing to do with what trans to (sic)" -- they do have to overcome some hate which is intrinsic but there is a lot which is a mirror of the hateful view that many of them have about the world.

There are specific cases where coordination is illegal. The examples the FTC uses are all cases where businesses colluded to raise prices – for example, retailers boycotting manufacturers who also sold to a cheaper catalog reseller - and it’s hard to imagine that applying here since the objections weren’t tied to ad rates or kickbacks from a competing social media company.

The author needed to reverse engineer what could have been on the spec sheet...
As someone who's been in a position like this before, I suspect the author is angry at the manufacturers and feels they're not being honest by not providing proper specs. It's hard to spec out a project when no one will tell you exactly what their parts can do. It's like if you were trying to buy a light truck for work and intsead of telling you how much weight it could pull or how often maintenance would be needed, the manufacturer refused to say anything more than "it can tow a speedboat" and "it requires infrequent maintenance."
I think there's a strong case to be made that the detailed map is indeed the land it maps.

Or that one can construct a surprisingly intuitive black box out of a sufficiently large pile of correlations.

Because what is written language, if not an attempt to map ideas we all have in our heads into words? So inversely, should there not be a statistically-relevant echo of those ideas in all our words?

I see. I am out of other ideas besides trying to play with BIOS tweaks wrt memory and CPU. I can see that there are plenty of them, for worse or for the better.

At a quick glance, some of them look interesting such as "Workload tuning" where you can pick different profiles. There is "memory throughput intensive" profile. You can also try to explicitly disable DIMMs that are not in use given you use only half of them. I wouldn't hold my breath that any of these will make a big difference but you can give it try.
The problem with that phrasing is that there is actual model merging, where you merge the weights. So people reading the title might (and apparently do) expect that, less so an LLM router.

I disagree. The reason humans anthropomorphize "AI" is because we apply our own meta-models of intelligence to llms, etc., where they simply don't apply. The model can spit out something that seems extremely intelligent and well thought out that would truly be shocking if a monkey said it for example due to our meta-model of intelligence, and that may be valid in that case if we determined it wasn't simply memorized. His argument can certainly be more fleshed out, but the point he's making is correct, which is that we can't treat the output of a machine designed to replicate human input as though it contains the requisite intelligence/"feeling"/etc to produce that output on it's own.
> We actually know exactly which gene sequence is responsible for real intelligence.

We don't at all know this.
You are very kind! Thank you.
The world is complicated. This policy was established in response to a secondary boycott policy from the Arab League, where any company that agreed to do business in Israel would not be allowed to do business in a member country. Congress judged, I think correctly, that prohibiting companies from cooperating with this boycott was the only way to preserve their broader freedom to choose which countries they do or don’t want to do business in.
According to Islamic tradition it's the language of the heavens. The bottom line is that the best and/or perfect language there is, should be able to create the best and/or perfect literature either in the form of book/oration/etc. Mind you Quran is not originally in the form of book it's actually oral tradition and Muhammad is a well known illiterate person. In fact (I'm not making this up) currently there are many thousands (perhaps ten or hundred of thousands, who knows) of so called Hafiz who already memorizing the entire Quran. God forbid, if all the physical and digital Quran is being burned or deleted the entire Quran can be recreated rather easily. The same cannot be said about any other books including the Bible. Quran is believed to be sent as a revealed knowledge and wisdom as other books given to other prophets before Muhammad that started with Adam. Except that the other holy books are not guaranteed to be intact over time and have certain shelf life unlike the Quran [1].

But regardless, if you don't believe in prophethoods, you should view its supremacy from the point of Quran supreme literacy values alone (forget about the laws, the wisdom and the guidances). In actual facts there are several open challenges from Quran itself for those who doubted to create something of similar quality or values even in one short chapter or even smaller pieces of sentences. If you cannot and most probably never will even with the help of AI/LLMs/etc, you have to accept that Arabic is the perfect language in creating the original masterpiece.

Sounds interesting. Since there is already Alphafold, I would assume that your solution concentrates on Alphafold's main weakness: the restriction on cristal structures and steady state, i.e. a single structure snapshot in an unrealistic environment. I would assume that an MD based solution like yours would be able to simulate the movement of structure parts and its interaction with a specific environment. The major challenge of MD so far (as far as I remember) was the computability of decently large proteins in reasonable time. Can you please explain how your solution improves on this? Do you have publications?

If by "sex" you mean physical characteristics, it's not what we learn in school books but not all people have only two XX or XY chromosomes. There are other (rare) combinations.

XXY (Klinefelter syndrome),
X (Turner syndrome),

XYY (Jacob’s syndrome),

If we think in terms of genes, the situation is further complicated, and hormones also influence the sexual phenotype during fetal development.

compatibility with LLMs has already been influencing my own tech choices! one such example is picking up and using Tailwind for side projects.

I've always evaluated many different component and CSS libraries, usually settling for something a bit outside of the most common solutions. for example from 2020-2023 i mostly used HP's Grommet component library, whereas most developers were using something more popular like Material UI or Bootstrap.

i had to evaluate frontend libraries in 2023 for a work project, and one of the team members suggested Tailwind, so i needed to give it a try. i found that the "ugly" utility classes were mostly the same as the bootstrap ones, which have been around a long time, and Tailwind intellisense makes decoding or remembering them a breeze. what i did not expect was how much easier using LLM's are with Tailwind. I had been using plain CSS and the LLMs do fine with that, but copying and pasting multiple files was much more annoying than having everything contained in the component as with Tailwind.

so that's another vector where LLM tools can shape technology choices, besides the winner-takes-all problem!
I've met this team, been to their office and done a deep dive on what they are doing. They will 100% sell high value space mined materials into earth markets at a profit and be a multi-billion dollar company.

This is putting the cart before the horse. No matter how you slice and dice your equations, everyone intuitively understands you can't really store infinite data in your brain.

Hmm, I'm not sure the "do we want more or fewer muslims in this country?" question is as rethorical as you say.

Also, I don't think the main real reasons for such a question are the economical ones, even if that DOES matter to some.

It appears that the main concern for the populist right is that the people (ethnicity + culture) they identify with will become a minority or even disappear at some point.

One can always discuss if this is a realistic threat or if it is, if it's really such a bad thing.

But I think it's pretty obvious that for as long as Northern Europe has the kind of generous welfare states they currently have, there will be a LOT of people in the "Global South" that really would like to come, easily enough to overwhelm some of these countries, if there are no restrictions on immigration.

Which is what makes "do we want more or fewer muslims in this country?" a valid question to ask, as far as I can tell. Either that, or "What is the maximum number of <insert minority group> we want to have in our country?"

If even asking this question is a taboo, well then that's almost like deleting datasets that your political group doesn't like.
