> However, there are plenty of forms of "animal testing" that confer zero positive value.

I find it difficult to believe that companies do expensive surgery on expensive animals for no reason (other than sadism?). These companies think this testing does in fact have value (and if we don't trust companies to make that determination we probably should restrict animal testing to governments).

But regardless, there's no real way to justify eating meat (given the marginal benefit of taste over vegan food) other than saying the lives and suffering of animals is essentially worthless. There isn't a threshhold you can put which will allow eating but prevent animal testing.

There's a simple tool to figure it out. It's called double blind test.

I went through it, and could tell mp3 (lame) from lossless, with high confidence. Many people I know and trust not to make shit up have done the same. Parent likely did the same as well.

However, I cannot ABX Opus from flac. It becomes impossible for me somewhere 100 to 160kbit/s depending on song, weather and luck.

mp3 is quite good for a codec from 1991. But it is deeply flawed, and compares quite poorly to what we have today.

I’m very lazy. Sometimes I’m lazy even to switch window from terminal to chatgpt. Yet alone copy and paste command from gpt to terminal, and back. So I create a very simple helper, which uses TIOCSTI to insert gpt response as input in terminal, so I can modify it right away and run.

Her is my workflow:

Start typing command I want to run lsof -
Figure out, what I forgot the name flags, lsof -tcp 8089
Press, ctrl+g and allow my helper to query GPT with my command as prompt.
Verify and edit returned command from GPT
Run it (press up to retrieve howto command from history to adjust prompt).

Works on macOS and Linux
Does NOT work on Windows (just prints to stdout), i don’t know how to “fake input” on windows

> If it was that or be paralyzed for the rest of your life, would you at least consider it?

It's all hypothetical anyway, what's your deal? Are you saying the totally hypothetical life changing cure is something to be impressed by so much, that the real suffering caused by those pursuing it is to be ignored? Ignoring the real suffering for some hypothetical deus ex machina is very cowardly, and if my hypothetical sacrifice reminded you of that, that's fine.

4 tokens per second is pretty slow. That's 5-10s for a comment the length of yours (and R1 specifically likes to output a lot of tokens). It's 10-20x slower than many top end models, which are available cheaply. Even high cost versions of R1 (at more than twice the price of sonnet) are $7/million tokens. For $2K you get 285 million tokens. You'd have to run the box at full whack for over two years (for 4tps) to hit that spending, and that ignores electricity prices. Sonnet 3.5 is half that price, and other R1 providers you could probably hit about a billion tokens for $2k. Gemini flash 2 is over 100 tokens per second and $2k gets you something like 5+B tokens (more really but I'm taking an easy estimate over the more expensive part).

If there are things you cannot send to a random party, you might want to look at hosted versions with agreements (if it's a code issue, if you're fine with github then azure is probably fine too).

Outside of that, if you really need to then sure, but these are the kinds of things that really benefit from being able to get high usage on GPUs for short periods of time.

Right. Yeah I often do, possibly because I only have one word (marketing) for both.

I guess the storytelling is the part that I feel is overvalued. "This genius changed the world because of how he phrased it" seems like bullshit to me.

The part where you define what a good product is, this one matters. Even though I feel like there is a whole lot more luck involved than what people want to think. "Steve Jobs was a genius" may rather be "Steve Jobs was really good, and at the same time he was lucky that what he considered a good product at the time was actually perceived as a good product by the masses".

It feels like there is a lot of survivorship bias (let me link xkcd myself before someone does: [1]) that we keep ignoring. "If Musk/Besos/Zuckerberg/<name your crazy billionaire> is where he is, that's most likely because he is the best". Ok, they probably did something right (maybe?), but they got crazy lucky as well.

There are more competitive cars at the price point in Europe (the Leaf is kinda long in the tooth now; second-gen is 8 years old), but the US is likely not a priority market for cheap EVs; it's a smaller market for EVs _in general_ than either Europe or China, and it's also not a good market for small cars.

I assume that the 25k EUR id.2 (replacement for the VW eUp, out early next year) will launch in the US, tho, and should be competitive with the Dolphin.
> Universal healthcare, social welfare, consumer protection, environmental regulations.

This is a strawman. Musk isn't attacking these things.

What he is attacking is excessive regulations imposed on new technology, often pre-emptively or without significant demonstrable harm. Regulations that aren't solving any real world problem but exist for political reasons. To allow politicians to message "we'll protect you from the Americans" and to allow regulators to continue having a reason to be employed.
The original model, aside from its programming mistakes, also misremembered the doubling formula. I hoped to see that solved, which it was, as well as maybe a more general performance boost from recovering some distillation loss.

As far as I'm aware, most of the lobbying in favor of stricter copyright has been done by Disney, Universal, Time Warner, RIAA, etc.

Not to say that tech companies have a consistent moral stance beyond whatever's currently in their financial self-interest, but I think that self-interest has put them in a position of supporting fair use and copyright safe harbors, opposing link tax, etc. more often than the the other way around - with cases like Authors Guild v. Google being a significant win for fair use.

A lot of what you're talking about is open source. Here's the extract method refactoring (Version 2):

https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/44a42be...

As you can see it's not that easy. At the core of an IDE is a database that has to incrementally update itself based on real time edits that can arbitrarily break the datasource (code) that the database is modeling, often in highly confusing ways. Refactorings often require sophisticated data analysis in order to not break code themselves, they aren't simple at all.

The LSP architecture complicates things further by introducing an asynchronous data structure synchronization problem between frontend and backend. Jetbrain's architecture is conventional, with analysis and UI running in-process. They can share data directly and use locks for mutual exclusion. The downside of this is that if locking isn't fine grained enough, or if the GC causes stalls, you can get UI hitches and sluggishness. The upside is that it's a pretty dramatic productivity upgrade because you aren't solving all these hard distributed computing problems that the LSP design introduces.

So the question becomes who solves their problems first? Jetbrains and Oracle have done a ton of work in recent years on solving these problems. Java GC pause times have been driven down aggressively, now there are fully pauseless GCs available although I don't know if IDEA uses them yet. GC pauses haven't been visible for me in years at any rate. And Jetbrains have done lots of work over time to reduce the amount of lock contention that can cause UI stalls, to introduce limited amounts of asynchronous replication within the process and so on.

The thing is, when you're in-process you can use the same ideas as in the LSP to reduce UI latency but to whatever extent makes sense or is necessary in a specific context. Nothing stops you tossing in an actor with a queue if you want that, or introducing a lock if a UI stall is in fact preferable to the alternatives (and sometimes it is). But you aren't bound to it all the time. Whereas the LSP design with separate processes and a hard address space separation doesn't allow that. To add anything you need to extend the protocol and handle the possibility of data skew between frontend and backend, which introduces a lot of surface area for bugs, which then drains time that could be spent on fixing refactoring bugs or adding new static analyses. So it's a hard tradeoff and one isn't clearly a winner to the other.
Plus that SSDs apparently have a very dirty manufacturing process, worse than the battery or screen in your laptop. I recently learned this because the EU is starting to require reporting CO2e for products (mentioned on a Dutch podcast: https://tweakers.net/geek/230852/tweakers-podcast-356-switch...). I don't know how a hard drive stacks up but if the SSD is the worst of all of a laptop's components, odds are that it's better and so one could make the decision to use one or the other based on whether an SSD is needed rather than just tossing it in because it's cheap

Probably it also matters if you get a bulky 3.5" HDD when all you need is a small flash chip with a few GB of persistent storage — the devil is in the details but I simply didn't realise this could be a part of the decision process

It's about 75-90% the speed of light, but even that's too slow.

Light travels about 30cms in a nanosecond, so extending a pcie port to a different box is going to have a measurable difference.

Managing Asynchronous Operations in Node.js with AbortController
It almost feels like no one in this thread worked at a company. Who's to decide to release it or not? Low level workers have no decision rights. Mid-management that handles this has to cooperate with technical and legal departments and juggle associated risks, including "my-ass" risks. Upper management won't "just do it" without waiting on detailed reports on the facts and implications.

One doesn't simply just do it at Tesla scale, it doesn't work like that. No other automotive company would release it quicker than until the courtroom, unless there was a pre-designed set of processes for doing so anytime. You may blame Tesla for being shady in that regard -- that's true, they are opaque and tricky and their leader is a Demon Lord. But doctoring the case in a non-legal-risky way would probably cost much more to them than just throwing some money at $subj. Imagine all these departments working together to fabricate something not easily debunkable by a curious nerd... That's 100K..1M budget range with unavoidably huge reputational risks.
