Yeap. I forgot those and more. It's like some sort of culture of medieval hazing rituals that too many people have normalized and accepted that somehow "proves" their loyalty, dedication, and/or self-worth to a company that probably took out dead peasant insurance on them and continually weighs whether laying them off would be profitable.
Indeed.

The only trick that consistently improves the lot of all participants in a civilization is to take a portion of the private surplus and apply it to the public good.

Latest Updates Re-Enable Apple Intelligence Even When Previously Disabled
Cursor already does the latter task pretty well, as I'm sure other AI agents already do. AI struggles only when it's something complex, like dealing with a geometric object, or plugging together infra, or programme logic.

Last year, I built a reasonably complicated e-commerce project wholly with AI, using the zod library and some pretty convoluted e-commerce logic. While it was a struggle, I was able to build it out in a couple of weeks. And I had zero prior experience even building forms in react, forget using zod.

Now shipping it to production? That's something AI will struggle at, but humans also struggle at that :(

Please read more carefully and don't shove your own words down other people's throats, it's rude and un-called for. What zealotry? The only politically-sided arguments in this thread are coming from you. By the way, if you took a few more seconds to read a bit more carefully, you would have noticed I never said they did not provide any value - only that the net negative seems to be outweighing the benefits to the society as a whole, and this is based on hard data, not ideology, mate. This is to make comparison to Threads, which is, unlike these two, not even providing a real-life service to justify it's existence. Plus, please learn: revenue != profits. I won't go down the rabbit hole of discussing the business models of Uber and Airbnb, you obviously haven't understood who carries the actual operating costs of those "businesses" and maybe in your world these are great services, as they come with an implicit ego-boost for all the Karens of this world?
> three of those would not have been enough for the 4090, nevermind the 5090.

Oh you are right these PCIe power connectors can only draw 150W, so you would need 4 of those for 4090/5090. I guess that makes sense then to create a new standard for it actually, hopefully they can make a newer revision of that connector that makes it safer.

In theory with the new standard you can have a single cable from the PSU to the GPU instead of 4, which would be a huge improvement. Except if you use those and then your PC catches fire, you will be blamed by the community for it. People on the reddit thread [1] were arguing that it was his own fault for using a "third party" connector.

The question about reference frames, even relative ones, is really interesting and has quite a long history. The current view of them really started only with Newton, and e.g. Leibniz actually had a different view, and rejected the idea of space "independent" of objects or time "independent" of events.

Leibniz was partly vindicated by Einstein, although I think Leibniz' idea of relationalism was even more fundamental (and perhaps untenable).

Yep, hybrid works best for me too.

Being at home 100% of the time works if I have perfectly clear tasks and deadlines. But as soon as there's something that requires collaboration with multiple people it's just SO MUCH EASIER to do it in person with everyone physically in the same room.

Zoom is good and all, but it's always janky the more people are in the meeting.

On site you can get more of the subtle hints off of people and the conversation flows better when you can talk over each other without the software deciding whose voice gets through.

Then you make the decisions you need and can hole up in your comfy home office for a while before needing to emerge again to collaborate.

>That's interesting, and rather goes up against the free markety ideas.

While the general impression of free market that is commonly touted does imply what you say, even in its current form people don't carry free market ideas to it's extreme: for example someone could argue that in a true free market you could kill your competitor to gain an edge.

>Although I note that thing_you_like is allowed to be nuanced and complex, and thing_you_dislike must be bad because it's complex.

There are areas where complexity may be needed and not avoidable. (for example a rocket ) . Something similar goes for the land division that I talked about. What I can assure you is that if a land division is not considered, the complexity ( and associated atrocities) are magnified in other areas like the tax code.

>I would like to see laws implemented with test conditions for how we will know if they are working, with a mandatory sunset period for reviewing them and if they aren't meeting the test conditions they automatically expire.

As much as I agree with you on this I don't think it'll happen in practice, simply because most humans are completely incapable of even conceiving those kind of ideas. If you are a developer like me, you are well about the average IQ - so what may seem trivial to you and me is not for the common man or the common elected representative that he elects.

> tax code was in any way optimal

The tax code especially for income tax and property tax, can never be optimal, or if it's optimal it's only for a short time. Because by it's very nature it's predatory. (it's another huge topic as to what can be taxed)

While you did not answer my questions which were directed to you as a person( I assume that most of your answers would be 'no'). I'm glad that you're familiar with "Yes Minister". (I had seen it a few decades back.). Anyway I'm arguing for minimal government and for minimizing any scope creep of the powers that the government may have. Easier said than done. (the mostly legalized and easy to obtain gun ownership in US is one example, which if I interpret correctly was intended to keep the government in check)

OP here. One thing I don't have a good answer for yet: this mostly uses Wikipedia as a source. How can I pay back to volunteer editors ("Wikipedians") if this is at all successful? I've seen other sites like newsasfacts.com suggest giving a proportion of profits to the Wikimedia foundation, but obviously they are ultimately separate from the volunteer base, and its fundraising appears increasingly controversial [1, 2].

I slightly balk at the idea, but is a cryptocurrency token possibly the answer? Generate, distribute to editors and have donations come inbound somehow? I see the dangers here!

Interesting idea.

I didn't consider that there could be a difference between the link that was shared and the place where you make yours. I just landed on the version that has both in one by happenstance.

But the idea makes sense. It would make it much more of a "I recieved this" and a "here I can make and share mine". I'll have to think a bit more on it, but love the idea.

Thanks!
If it's a hybrid inverter, it just offsets what you pull from the grid. And btw, as long as you have the right voltage and grid-frequency, you can practically push as little as you want. The details and roadblocks usually come in the form of regulation, contracts, meter features, and the utilities trying to stonewall any sort of slow phase-out of people's dependence on them.
At least in my experience in a somewhat bespoke industry on the non-cloud side, things have been moving in that direction due to most of the reasons they identify (it also ties nicely into the global "Datacenter as a Computer" concept they hit on).

People in my industry have a tendency to over-optimize (technical folks love nothing more than to tinker), and in doing so create very unique deployments per group that require a significant amount of infra and operational support, and drastically slow down the rate of progress/change (not to mention the cost). When you peel back all the requirements it turns out we really only need three unique deployment options. Makes it all significantly less cumbersome.

I have thought a lot about this and it is why I think remote is doomed long term at the mass market because of a type of scaling property.

I am much more productive working remote. It isn't even close.

The dysfunctional slacker at the office though can get some productivity squeezed out of them at the office. Remote, they are completely useless and dysfunctional.

Then take the average worker with kids who can save a ton of money by not sending the kid to daycare and the loss of productivity from that.

At some scale, the productivity increases do not make up for the productivity loss in aggregate. The more you scale up, the worse it gets.

Remote is only going to work long term for small organizations who won't be much effected by this scaling property.

The thing is though.... the locally hosted models in such hardware are cute as toys, and sure do write funny jokes and importantly, perform private tasks that I would never consider passing to non-selfhosted models, but pale in comparison to the models accessible over APIs(Claude 3.5 Sonnet, OpenAI etc).

Zero of whom pay for the product. They are the product.

What this leaves out is that the real customers, advertisers, already have a fully-functional hyperscale system creeping on users and pushing ads in their face. It's akin to crowing about how fast you can put up new billboard ads when the billboards are already built--someone else has already put in the power/network lines, poles, screens, routing, etc, and you just hooked up your existing ad feeds to it. Facebook doesn't give two shits if the billboards were in the middle of nowhere, as long as they can charge their advertisers some $$, they'd deliver seizure-inducing hallucinogenic drugs right into users' veins.
Great breakdown!. The "own your own AI" at home is a terrific hobby if you like to tinker, but you are going to spend a ton of time and money on hardware that will be underutilized most of the time. If you want to go nuts check out Mitko Vasilev's dream machine. It makes no sense if you don't have a very clear use case that only requires small models or really slow token generation speeds.

If the goal however is not to tinker but to really build and learn AI, it is going to be financially better to rent those GPUs/TPUs as needs arise.
The whole thing is incredibly frustrating to read because no one is providing any sort of data or graphs that are beyond something you would see in a commercial.

Minimal latency is only really needed for live performance and monitoring, though these do tend to be crucial demands in most cases. A major problem for browsers is also poor support for multichannel devices.

They do plan to have a "native wrapper like tauri" in the future. I've played around with node-web-audio-api for low latency multichannel for Electron, but it wasn't a great success. Mostly because Rust audio backends (and almost all audio backends in general) aren't very good in such usage.

Also relevant: in this particular case the authors themselves note that the results better theoretical behavior in the worst case, but no practical uses yet. So I think any software engineer exploring this direction would have abandoned it pretty quickly, for the same reason that galactic algorithms aren't typically invented by them either (unless they also do compsci as a hobby of course). In fact the Wiki page for galactic algorithm mentions another optimal-but-impractical hash table as one of its examples[0][1].

After reading it five or six times, I parse it as

(v-Fluence halts operations
(after (widespread backlash
(over (private portal
(profiling (environmental health advocates)))))))

i.e. v-Fluence is halting their operations. This is after there was widespread backlash. The widespread backlash was about a private portal. The private portal was for profiling certain people. Those certain people were environmental health advocates.
