I am seeing this kind of comment more and more here and I think it's a trend I would like to see end. That's fine if you don't want to read a long, meandering essay. I myself made it about 30% through and decided I didn't want to finish. But why would you then expend the effort to come here and ask others to do work for you? Paste it into chatgpt and ask it to summarize for you.
I'm no lawyer but I feel like a company shouldn't have standing to contest a patent if they can't demonstrate damages, like a product losing sales because someone else is selling a competing product using technology under their patent.

And "we paid for something and want ROI" are not damages. There's no legal right to profit from an investment. You gotta use it or lose it.
The story I know is that US gas (used to) cause corrosion of the Cu pipes. I don't have a gas line (in the house), so no recent installation - and of course I won't be installing a gas line on my silly-own (while I can go by and do some plumbing for the water). Yet, if i see a tiny (8mm) copper tube I'm quite confident, it's for the gas.
That glove box came out real nice, what a good idea. I inhaled too much dust as a young man and eventually became sensitive to it. Now I have to wear a respirator all the time. It is smart to contain the dust in your appt since you spend so much time breathing the air there.
Once upon a time, Windows sleep was reliable 99.xy% of the time. If you put a Windows laptop to sleep it stayed asleep cozily.

Now its like an elderly nursing home patient who wakes up several times and raids the kitchen to eat all the time.

The fall of a once great OS is sad to see. I guess AI matters more to Microsoft than their Core OS nowadays.
Oh god, there are mines?!
On a second read, my original comment was unkind and I regret it. I lumped you in with all the other comments which I saw as unfairly criticising a situation most of us will never be in and responded with mockery, but that is neither an excuse nor fair to you.

Your points are well reasoned—and I believe well-intentioned—and I should’ve done better. I apologise.
I'm not sure what the rush is. Do we have to make it profitable now? 2 years is not a long time. The point has been made elsewhere by other commentators about the dot-com bubble and how long that took for trillion dollar industries to form. It sounds like his gripe with Altman's hype narrative has soley informed his somewhat negative view on LLMs as a whole.

I find it interesting that he almost equates OpenAI === LLMs and misses the fact that the hype is not purely industry driven. For instance, the number of machine learning papers in the last year has quite literally doubled.

This is also typical of an Americentric view on innovation that we don't report on the quiet revolution happening in education in underdeveloped countries that are a direct result of the accessibility of this unprofitable technology.

I don't think we need killer application right now

We also forget the internet bubble happend first

I think the author is looking at LLMs through the lens of Sam Altman's hype narrative and I wonder why we care so much that
>It's also to incentivize the wealthy to keep their money moving instead of hoarding it. [...] It forced companies to invest in capital and labor

Rich people already do that. Do you think the average "wealthy" person has their wealth in a vault full of gold like scrooge mcduck?
> You haven't mentioned the negative-positive person who puts effort into the relationship with you but you suck them dry.

The concept only works when you look at it from one side. If you swap the perspective to the other person, you're the negative-negative person in your example.

> In truth, it's not quite so straight forward, and in the real world people occupy different roles with different people at different times. Maybe your role with some people is always to build them up, but you need to rely on others to get through things yourself. At any given time, most relationships are pretty one way, but over time things might balance out - maybe your role is always to provide support for someone, but in turn there's someone in your life who does the same for you and overall it balances out in your life.

Yes, like most conceptual frameworks, it has limits and shouldn't be taken literally. However, the framework isn't intended to be used for identifying negative-negative relationships and terminating all of them. It's more for gaining a holistic understanding of how energy is being spent/gained in your relationships so you can better understand why you may be feeling burnt out.

> The cynical position is to cut out the relationships you see as draining in your life, and while you absolutely should do that if you don't have the strength to do that and maintain your own wellbeing, even if you aren't directly benefitting from a seemingly one-way relationship, often other people will see how you treat them and want to spend more time with you, even if that relationship is primarily energy flowing to you.

I wouldn't classify the negative-negative people as a "bad relationship." In relationships we often choose to spend energy in a way that reflects our own beliefs/worldview. For example, I have several negative-negative relationships in my community work where I know for a fact people are "abusing" my energy. However, I find it a worthy cause to put energy into, and I have enough positive relationships to support it.
I helped setting up Conversations / Monal on my grandparents phones and they have no issues sending messages.
This is exactly correct. Grok is already slandering specific journalistic outlets such as “The Information” that publish negative stories on Musk.
The React versioning is a bit silly, but React 15 was the first major version (in 2016) which makes it more like 4 major releases in 9 years. Not that different from 8 major releases over 20 years.
i.e. people who took all the risk when nothing existed.
I thought I would provide more information here, as I left it pretty blank when posting:

I am of the firm belief that unreliable help is worse than no help at all. LLMs are unreliable help, therefore they are useless to me.
Just last week a report about election interference by foreign entities on a Twitter was released.

Twitter does not seem very interested in transparency or stopping behavior favoring certain views

I'm so tired of those comments. It's almost always come from those who refuse to research before they talk, only echo what they learned from other people.

Do you know why there are new frameworks, new versions every time? Because web is a moving target. New js/css/html5 features are released every day and the libraries have to update to adopt them.

Back in the day you do not have css variables, so you have either use sass and do all the math inside the preprocessing process, or crazier, using those shitty css-in-js libraries to calculate css properties on the fly. Nowadays you can pass around the variables and it can cover almost all the case. In able to pass the css property to the component, you need to improve your framework.

Another example is html5 history API, back in the old days people implemented link components in SPA with buttons (hilarious but it happened), only after History API is introduced there raised the need to manipulate the history properly, thus another rewrite issued.

before that, ES5 introduced `class`, proving yet another way to write js code, which in some situation make cleaner code than the plain old js functions.

everything in the web is moving, new nice things are introduced every month, if you want to create a modern and performant web application, you need to keep up with the new fancy things, frameworks are no exception for that.
With the caveat that this is only possible with very lossy compression:

1. You land a software job which is "perfect" on almost every traditional indicator. Amazing office and amenities, incredible compensation and benefits, and no hard demands on your time... except to meekly endure some brief pain, for no particular reason, every day.

2. However it seems that neither the team nor yourself really accomplish anything, you gain no sense of social belonging, and you are literally a (very brief) punching-bag for your manager.

3. You "should" be happy, but you aren't. What's the point of it all? What are your values, and what is your worth? You start to struggle with depression. Eventually you can't take it anymore. You quit. Maybe you heal.

It's sort of like a Twilight Zone episode: You get (almost) everything you (believe that you) will be happy with, yet somehow the result is a subtle form of hell.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that an oligarch in the middle of a coup attempt isn't interested in being transparent
The implication would be that those API requests are being sold at a loss. Amodei wrote in January that Claude 3.5 Sonnet was trained for only a few $10Ms, but Anthropic has been losing billions.
I recently bought a panel on AliExpress for much cheaper than most of the branded one. There's not really reason for them to lie about the wavelength of the LEDs, so build quality is really the only risk factor.

A lot (most ?) people do jobs they don't enjoy to make ends meet, figuratively punched in the stomach yet without the luxury of being highly paid.
I think it happens to a certain extent, if we do as the article says, and revisit our memories. We then probably reinterpret our memories in the context of our new and updated understanding of the world.

In other cases I believe it’s quite possible that our understanding of the world, say at age two, is so radically different from our adult understanding, that the old memories don’t even make any sense in the new context. They can’t be remapped in any meaningful manner.
He's trustworthy.

If he had that level of neuroticism he would just not say anything or only offer surface level praise.
Everyone thinks that about agencies like NNSA and NASA, but then once you get under the covers it's a government agency like every other one. There are clerks and contract analysts and HR drones and people who push paper to other people who push paper in a self-perpetuating bureaucratic machine.

Same thing with the Intelligence Community: lots of DMV-like cogs that have TS clearances but otherwise are little different than the masses occupying the Social Security office down the street.

I, probably naively, hold out hope. But Trump/Musk dismantling the groups who work to keep elections fair and free is disturbing.

I thought his Twitter post was fair and covers both things that worked and things that did not.
Funnily enough, A380, A350, B787, and other new aircraft have their brakes connected by Ethernet (specifically AFDX, a modified variant of Ethernet) so braking actuator signals (and sensor data back) goes as UDP messages.

But it makes the system less complex and easier to handle, as there's one kind of cabling, and complex functions like ABS equivalent are handled from avionics bay

Not entirely surprising. Musk doesn't want anyone looking into his businesses. Every public agency that DOGE has shut down so far had an active investigation into Musk or one of his businesses.

It's only election interference when others share information. When the winners speak, it is and always was lawful and good. Might is right, afterall.

Is it your expectation that as models get cheaper we won't be developing much more powerful models at the higher price range?

Its already worth noting that we already ran into the self hosting at scale problem. People don't want to run a web server and instead accept all the problems that come along with the convenience of social media. Why would LLMs, or any future AI product, be different?
Which, at that point would have been a welcome article, since at that point the world war hadn't started yet, and countries like the UK weren't even involved yet. It wasn't until the invasion of Poland that UK got pulled in because of the guarantees they made earlier to Poland.

That said, people probably didn't understand "propaganda" in those times as well as we do today, so probably would have been even welcome back then than today.
Notice how I don't advocate for attacking Russia - but granting Ukraine a decisive victory, where Russian forces are absolutely decimated and pushed out of the country entirely would hopefully make Russia think twice about attacking any other neighbours in that direction. If they are allowed to basically keep what they took already then it's the same as giving them a full victory - they generally don't care about loss of life, so if they keep the land taken it's the same as winning.

Honoré de Balzac has a great bit about cashiers in Melmoth reconciled, basically explaining that it's a useless job that stems from a lack of trust (meanwhile the cashier becomes a trustee, which is ironic as if he had ambition he could just leave with the money). I have no idea how good the english translation is, but there's much better literature about bullshit jobs than this.
What is the "emoji hidden message" meant to be testing? This went around about a couple of weeks ago and it's an interesting bug/vuln, I suppose, but why do we care if an LLM catches it?
Unfortunately, it could only be an improvement after the 13th generation problems. I strongly believe that Intel owes me $150 after releasing a firmware update that turned my processor into one that cost $150 less.

The fact that "neoliberalism" is considered left should seriously concern anyone who has opened a history book.
Why don't you do it then? If you are talking about Deepseek "$5M", then you would be interested to know that they pay 7 digit salaries and reportedly have H100s worth $2B[1].

I don't know any voters who want fraud to continue, but most do accept that fraud is just a part of any system designed and implemented by humans.

I personally would like to see the end of the "find gravy train, keep that gravy flowing at all costs" methodology of capitalism, because it's primary focus is money instead of the service provided. Whether it's pentagon contractors, business subsidies, or the heinous medicare and medical insurance fraud. But I don't want to cut SNAP even if someone buys a goddamn coke once in a while.

The current method seems to be brain surgery with a monkey wrench. Slash and burn with little thought given to the effects upon humans, especially those who don't have other options. Kagi gave me a figure of between 9.2 to 15.2 percent of welfare being fraudulent. Yes that's too high, yes I'd like to fix that, but I want that change to be considered, studied, and planned with caution.
What is hilarious is your disdain for their achievements which occurred in less than two years. This is just the beginning.
what makes you think there won't be an ROI?
> DeeoSeek trained r1 for 1.25% (5M) of that money (using the same spot price) on 2048 crippled export H800s and is maybe a month behind.

This is a great example of how a misleading narrative can take hold and dominate discussion even when it's fundamentally incorrect.

SemiAnalysis documents that DeepSeek has spent well over $500M on GPUs alone, with total infrastructure costs around $2.5B when including operating costs[0].

The more-interesting question is probably why do people keep repeating this? Why do they want it to be true so badly?

From what I've read, it actually seems like a bad idea for cancer. Red light is not going to induce cancer like UV, but if cancer is already there, it'd get the same mitochondria boosting effect, essentially helping it grow more.
tariffs mean the company has to pay the county money sort of like an extortion fee. profit is still the same and the US gets the 10%.
Why is it clickbait if Germany is not named in the title ? It's not like the title implies that it's in the US, that's just your brain.
It's fine. As far as I can tell from my end, nothing was delayed. Any data that could be leaked to "third-parties" (I assume you mean DOGE) has already been leaked several times by government and corporate mismanagement of your PII.

It sits right on the head with a ~1 inch foam spacer. The lens might change the fluence, which I think was a key part of the pending patent. Also 90W is the power draw for all the modules in the helmet. I can ask though what the targeted mW/area is and reply if I can get an answer.

No one told you to feel rage.

> Throw in the complete dismisal that anyone not scared of this is ignorant, shuts down discussion.

Weird, there are a lot of comments doing discussion in reply to the parent comment. It hasn't been shut down at all! You read those words and disagreed with them, and wrote your own words in response. You're doing the discussion you're claiming is being shut down! What are you even talking about?
I understand the value proposition. My problem is that people using them are offloading the cost onto others who have not agreed to be so exposed.

If it were possible to use something like these without throwing everyone they interact with under the bus in terms of privacy and security, I'd have no problem with them.
Ember is working through a migration replacing their build system and bundler with Vite -- all while maintaining backwards compatibility to a version released in 2021. Ember will be fun to watch in the coming year.
Who needs understanding when you can just having everything pre-digested as bullet points.
Also, profitability won't materialize in an environment with so many competitors offering comparable products. Perfect competition destroys profit. The good becomes a commodity, and the price people will pay simply becomes the marginal cost of production (or in this case, less, while the dumb money is still chasing the hype).
We recently cancelled our bus service and started driving our kid to school.

The location the district chose for the bus stop was obnoxious - right on a busy street away from all of the houses. Despite some completely sensible options nearby (that the bus drives by), the district refuses to negotiate.

I completely agree that our kids would be just as well off if they were as independent as kids in Japan. But the article hits the nail on the head - between the fast cars everywhere and our country's non-stop addiction to doomeristic crime news, we can't realistically expect to leave our kid out there and not expect disaster or someone to call the cops on us.

I actually tried riding a tandem bike to school every day to pick him up, until I get hit by a car one day and decided it was too dangerous to proceed.

So the only option really is to sit there and wait in the cold with my child for the bus. Which takes longer than just driving to the school and back.

You mean, systemd exists for its developers, not users? Indeed, there's some logic here.
I appreciate someone working on a sizable codebase to put in their opinion. Too often it's just feedback on their experience with a Hello World analog and it's easy to get hyperbolic opinions off of that.

While there might be incompatibilities with GPL and the App Store due to Apple’s insistence that developers must accept Apple’s terms to run Xcode and apps on developer devices, LGPL and other open source licenses are generally compatible with the App Store and Apple’s licenses. You can ship programs that use open source or are themselves open source within closed ecosystems by providing source code to end users via a website linked to within credits within the app. This distinction is because LGPL in particular permits more usage than GPL, allowing you to use the library in non-open source apps or those licensed under different terms, so ffmpeg has been somewhat adopted by a variety of open and closed source apps when a shared codebase is desired or particular codecs or functionality is required. That said, Apple themselves would prefer that you use their audio/video frameworks, due to device performance optimization, binary sizes, licensing and ecosystem lock-in. As far as I know, ffmpeg has adopted some of these Apple optimizations when appropriate frameworks are detected and configured at compile time.
