Yeah I think that's a good point, and my issue with Penrose. His point sounds more profound but it is like dropping everything in complexity analysis (Big O). An approximation only goes so far, and sometimes the specifics matter. More importantly, when they matter, they usually matter A LOT. I think people underestimate how many things we approximate, and approximate with only first or second order terms. But last I checked, most things are not simple harmonic oscillators (springs)[0]

Can you explain what the LLM sees in your Gmail example instead of the chain?

And how is that translation layer created? Do you write it yourself for whatever you need? Or is the idea for API owners to provide this?

Unlikely, given the 10/50 to 1 demand/supply ratio. The very top people are workaholics and true believers, so it is unlikely that the absence of the institution of tenure would affect their choices.
For mid-quality people, there is an overabundance of researchers who would get that job, tenure or no-tenure, for a piece of chocolate.
This is the type of innovations that AI should be used for. The fact that this type of product wasn't the very first thing Microsoft tried to create is unfortunate.

Microsoft is kinda-sorta pushing for machines that can do AI stuff locally with their copilot branded PCs, but I don't see any evidence that they are willing to go all in on AI powered locally controlled everything with no SaSS model attached.

I don't think it's any harder now on the whole. Some things are even easier. Creating a successful startup was never easy. Not then, and not now.

You have to remember that books like Fire in the Valley tend to portray a romanticized version of events and usually leave out a lot of the real daily grind and struggles because they usually aren't entertaining to read about.

Edit to add: also, books like "Fire in the Valley" are talking about the startups that were successful. They don't tend to mention the one that failed, which is the vast majority of them. Even then.

It's a really interesting somewhat thought provoking idea. To some extent these people are valuable enough that turning them into blood factories after cerebral death is the more moral option?
Again, it's a range request though. What if the browser simply didn't send a network request at all and just synchronously returned the partial result from the cache. You agree that would be correct (if arguably not very useful), right? The point is that the 403 isn't required to be seen, at all. You can't require the browser return a value that the browser doesn't know about.

It's a cache consistency bug at its root. The value was there, and now it's not. The reporter says "the browser is responsible for cache coherency" (call this the "MESI camp"). The Chrome folks say "the app is responsible for cache coherency" (the "unsnooped incoherent" gang). Neither is wrong. And the problem remains obscure regardless.

motorcycles are also significantly more dangerous, regrettably.

I used to be very into them when I was younger, and then having multiple friends get into motorcycle accidents kinda turned me off of them :/
Having taken a minute to understand this, I agree with the chrome team - it's not a bug, but rather an unfortunate complexity of interacting with caching and a server. It's definitely a choice on their part to issue a request different than the one you asked for by partially satisfying it from cache and asking the server for the rest. But it's not an unseasonable optimization. At which point when their shorter range request fails, they have no way to message the 403 back to you and also give back the partial content. So they chose to pass back the partial content.
"String interning" is discussed in the Java Language Spec, going back to the 1990s, and wasn't novel there. It goes back at least to Lisp implementations from the 1970s. Probably even earlier than that.

This is not just true of CEOs. As a precocious chief sysadmin of a small local ISP at age 19, I was allowed to fully administer things no sane company would allow a 19 year-old to touch: sophisticated ADSL aggregation equipment, BGP-speaking border routers, mission-critical core routers, ATM equipment, and so much more.

Not everything I did with this power was smart. A lot of my understanding of what that stuff is was learned "improvisationally", and major local customers, including the county government, paid the price. But what I did do was very successfully parlay this experience into a big-kid job (and a mega pay rise) in the big city, which then begat more such jobs. I doubt I could have rocketed that high, that quickly, if the small-town ISP weren't willing to let ambitious but inexperienced people like me screw up, in exchange for paying them semi-student wages.
It is a software problem when a pen is used; you aren't using a pen so it doesn't impact you.

I don't understand why you thought it was constructive to point out the difference between a "software problem Vs. a software problem only when the pen is used." The article was very clear on that point already, it isn't adding to the conversation.
If you want to emulate a current console, try emulating the switch. I haven't looked into it much, but apparently it works better on modern hardware than on the switch itself. Not surprising given the switch aging hardware and power limit.

> high income from software jobs

I don't think it is a worry about just software jobs though. Would people be nearly as concerned if some "Technology X" would delete all software jobs but leave all other white-collar jobs intact? Probably not nearly as much, just retrain and go do some other job. I think the concern is that once an AI can replace SWE, it is likely already at the level where in short order there will be no value to intellectual labor, no "thinking jobs" that can sustain a good life.

So basically I don't think it is just self-interest. I think a lot of people see a plausible outcome being the destruction of the value of (at least intellectual) labor. If labor loses all value and society isn't prepared to entirely upend our economic system, most people could suffer greatly, to the extent where the positive and exciting benefits of AI don't really mean much. If someone believes that not making their software open-source can delay that, it isn't necessarily a selfish decision. If that is what you believe, you're delaying a negative outcome for a lot of people.
Energy costs should probably be progressive. If you need more than the poor your cost starts shooting through the roof.

This reminds me of that popular "reality" show where they remodel a family's home and surprise them with what is basically a palace. Afterward the families are shattered by energy costs, and eventually exorbitant property taxes. Off camera they are forced into forclosure and end up in debt.

After the first month or so they are forced to seal off most of the house as they desperately try to stay afloat. Lacking financial savvy, most end up mortgaging the home.

I, too, participate in the world's biggest and longest-lasting Ponzi scheme. As long as people keep buying in, the value will keep going up. It runs so long that it's likely it will still be running when I die. I strongly recommend everyone to buy as much of this scheme as possible.
I'd also point out that it's an ever-shifting landscape. What was slow yesterday might not be today.

In my experience, while there are some negatives of the runtime selected, the vast majority of performance is won or lost at the algorithm level. It really doesn't matter that rust can be faster than ruby if you chose an O(n^3) algorithm. Rust will run the O(n^3) algorithm faster than ruby, for sure, but ruby will beat the pants off of rust if someone converts it into an O(n) algorithm.

It only starts mattering if you've already have an O(n) algorithm. However, in my experience, a LOT of programmers are happy writing a n^3 and moving on to the next task without considering what this will do.

Taiwan is still not allowed to buy F35 fighters. And the weapons they are allowed to buy from the US are delivered late and of poor quality:

Taiwan Is Getting Its U.S. Weaponry—but Years Behind Schedule:
https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/taiwan-is-getting-its-u-s-wea...

U.S. delivered "wet and moldy body armor" to Taiwan, Pentagon watchdog says:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-wet-moldy-body-armor-to-tai...

The US has not been a good partner to Taiwan, truth be told. If you browse social media that are popular among the Taiwanese, you'll discover that there is quite a bit of resentment towards the US, because they see the US as coercing them into transferring their much-needed human and intellectual capital in world-class semicon technology. (E.g. ~50% of the staff now working at the Arizona fab are TSMC engineers who moved from Taiwan, because American workers allegedly do not have the requisite skills or work ethic.) And yet the US is not willing to reciprocate by transferring its military technology.

I'm sure Trump's disastrous meeting with Zelenskyy has greatly damaged confidence among the Taiwanese. At some point more and more Taiwanese might just decide that a mob boss who speaks their language is better than a mob boss who doesn't.

> When you ask our government to grant you special privileges

You ask your state to create a corporation. You ask your bank to give it a bank account. The U.S. requires the bank to make you told the U.S. who your beneficial owners are. This isn’t a story about a party granting privileges asking for something in return.

And the parties granting those privileges, states and banks, don’t treat them as privileges. Being denied an LLC is extraordinary in every U.S. jurisdiction I know. Being denied a bank account is more common, but still often requires some reason. (Even if it isn’t communicated to the customer.)

Note that my argument is narrow: your argument doesn’t hold. I agree with you in these data not deserving confidentiality. But not because incorporation is a privilege, but because there is a social good to making it public and social cost to letting people hide behind fictitious persons. (Where I disagree with the CTA is in making these data only available to law enforcement and the like. FinCEN’s BOI should be public.)

China currently would have a serious bad time economically, cut off from intl trade. So there are options in addition to military - if there was a will. The rest of the world would have a hard time without China intl trade but probably far more survivable.

And blockade options go both ways: China could blockade Taiwan? They have more and more attack submarines and anti-aircraft missiles - which may be good enough.
Why shouldn't it be public? We should be allowed to know who owns a company, especially when it's trivial for anyone with a bit of money to set up and tear down a company. If you let that be anonymous, how do you ever hold anyone liable for anything? The customer relationship will be owned by a throw away company and you end up with a buyer beware system where bad actors spin things up and down so quickly that no one can keep track of anything or hold anyone accountable.

Think of selling lead paint. If I sell using a company with beneficial ownership known, you can eventually ban me from getting a business registration in that category. If I don't have to disclose that info, I could start a new company every month using different branding and I'd have a dozen "different" products on the market before regulators would be able to unwind the first company.

We even have a small preview of that system. Look at the quality, or lack of quality rather, of products bought off of Amazon. It's all the same garbage sold through dozens of different brands. Once it delves into the realm of being illegal, you need to be able to cut it off at the source, aka beneficial owners that are being enriched.

Would you argue against knowing the owner for personal bank accounts? I can't walk into a bank and open an account without them knowing exactly who I am and every bank account I have is tied by to the same, real world identity - me. Why should I participate in that invasive system if rich people with shell companies don't have to?
Isn't that the same? You want to raise the price of energy to make wind etc competitive?
The only thing I'd note is that the spec seems to be pretty clear about the content-length response header needing to match how many bytes are actually in the response, and the 206 from Chrome is not returning a number of bytes matching the content-length header. Spec:

> A Content-Length header field present in a 206 response indicates the number of octets in the content of this message, which is usually not the complete length of the selected representation.

While in the article (and in the mailing group discussion) it seems that Chrome is responding with a `content-length` of 1943504 while the body of the response only contains 138721 octets. Unless there's some even more obscure part of the spec, that definitely seems like a bug as it makes detecting the need to re-request more annoying.
After trying both, I prefer Matrix to Origin.

However I do not rely on extensions/add-ons as I believe extensions/add-ons are not the right solution. Unless the computer user is compiling the browser herself, extensions/add-ons can be crippled/disabled/etc. by whomever is distributing binaries. When the distributor is supported by online advertising as is the case for both Chrome and Firefox, and all the other so-called "modern" graphical browsers, this possibility cannot be ignored.

I love Japanese stationery. I prefer my Mitsubishi Hi-Uni pencils to even my Blackwings, which are also great pencils. I also love Kokuyo Campus notebooks, which I first started using 15 years ago when I was a research intern at Fujitsu Labs in Kawasaki, Japan. Every time I travel to Japan, I stock up on stationery.

On a related note, I wish there were software companies that put as much attention to their software as companies like Mitsubishi and Kokuyo put into their stationery. There was some well-crafted software in the past; I have fond memories of ClarisWorks, and I also enjoyed using The Omni Group’s software, particularly OmniOutliner and OmniGraffle. I also love the classic Mac OS and Jobs-era Mac OS X. Unfortunately, most software these days do not “spark joy” for me. In fact, I often have to deal with software that gets in my way, that nags me instead of gets out of my way.

It’s unfortunate that the economics of software makes it difficult to create Omni Group’s-style companies. “Enshittification” seems to be the end result of successful large software companies. Also, it’s hard for smaller proprietary software companies to compete against free, whether it’s free-as-in-beer or FOSS. I love FOSS, but it’s hard for developers to make a living writing FOSS unless they have strategies for monetizing the software, which sometimes leads to compromises that threaten to “enshittify” the software.

I’d love to find a solution to this problem. I’d love to see more craftsmanship in software, but the economic incentives make pursuing such craftsmanship hard.

It's an interesting article and I agree with some points you brought up here. But here are some of them to which I don't agree to

1. Evals are used throughout the article in the sense of LLM benchmarking, but this is not the point. One could effectively evaluate any AI system by building custom evals.

2. The purpose of evals is to help devs systematically improve their AI systems (at least how we look at it) not any of the ones listed in your article. It's not a one-time thing, it's a practice like the scientific method.

Things only seem to be getting worse on the whole Musk PR front. These numbers will be from before the whole Zelensky Vance Trump meeting that didn't go very well. Musk seems to be going for the blame Zelensky for the war don't criticize Putin schtick which will probably not be great for sales.

Just a couple of hours ago: "Zelensky wants a forever war, because he loses his spotlight on the international stage as soon as peace is achieved." Compare that with "Just 4% of Americans support Russia in war with Ukraine" https://www.yahoo.com/news/just-4-americans-support-russia-0...

You're surely joking. The IMF isn't bailing out the UK, and there aren't 3 day week debates because of the failing power supply. What's led to the death of the Conservative party is them doing exactly the opposite what a lot of Conservative voters want: bigger economy, and slower immigration.
