Just saying that you can stretch it pretty far with vague language like "we aren't doing [bad thing] in the sense that most people would understand [bad thing]".
That was my first thought reading this: if these devices spread too far, all the magic will be gone. Dubplates are special not because they are one of a kind, they are special because they are one of a kind while also being so much more exclusive than mixtapes (which can be just as one of a kind, but aren't exclusive at all). Widely available home-cut vinyl might perhaps breed an awesome new culture, but if that happens it will definitely kill the incumbent.
It's been less than 6 months since OpenAI last released a SOTA model architecture that promptly caused every other AI lab to scramble to copy them (o1 preview). Maybe OpenAI is running ashore, but it's too soon to tell yet.
No you want to control the shape of the speed curve to not overshoot and not accelerate too much, when you follow the speed profile.

And keeping steady state speed is not that hard.
I'm still amazed by people who consider "politicization" as something done to the Trump administration rather than caused by it. Decades of peaceful transfers of power without wholesale purges, and now that's all changed for some mysterious reason.
primarily because the current theoretical trajectory of OpenAI and similar orgs will leave a large number of humans markedly worse off than before
The more I hear about this book, the more I realize that I was way too young when I read it.
Federal workers swear an oath to defend the COnsitution against enemies foreign and domestic. When the President is commiting crimes in public and is a blatant tool of Russia, the "good federal workers" must resist as part of their OATH TO THE COUNTRY. It's their oath to resist Trump.

Given that I worked with Jeff Bezos at the beginning of amzn, and made roughly $1M before I was 33 as a result, I'm hardly in the "obsessed about keeping up with the Joneses" group: I was the Joneses.

That doesn't stop me from saying that the distribution of wealth within the US economy is immoral, and detrimental to our politics, our health, our environment and more. And it doesn't stop other people from saying so either:

https://www.responsiblewealth.org/

Those folks are hardly obsessed with keeping up with anyone.

I'm glad that your life has "improved a lot". But that's not a reason to give up on fairness, decency and even just plain old self-interest. It's a better society for everyone if there's less inequality, even those at the top.
We're far past "illegals" tho. Like I said, we are at "vermin poisoning the blood of the country". We are past "detention facilities", and we are on to "military controlled black site known for torturing terrorists where media can't see". And the political climate has moved from "we need to build a wall" to "we need to deport 11 million people and challenge the constitutionality of citizenship".

We are closer than you think. All they need at this point is to start defying court orders and there are no more guardrails. None. They have the authority. They have the social permission structure. They have immunity from laws. They control the police and military. What's left?

If you disagree, please point to what would prevent this administration from carrying out a "final solution" against immigrants?
What It Does:

Automates the tedious parts of sharing code with AI:

-Select Multiple Files in UI (no manual path typing)

-Generate Organized File Tree and Headers for them (so that chatbot knows file path relations)

-Combine all selected code files into a Single, Structured Prompt

→ Currently supports full files only, no partial snippets.

Why I Built This:

I kept running into:

• Wasting time manually explaining file relationships to ChatGPT

• Constantly hitting chat length limits and having to repeat that tedious action to get fresh chat up to speed

Safety Note:

"I know opening local files on some random website feels sketchy - but this app runs entirely client side in your browser (you can verify with F12 if you're unsure). I even removed Vercel analytics to ensure no data leaves your machine. (Fair warning: I'm still new to webdev, so please let me know if you spot any issues!)"

As a programmer, would you find this useful? I'd love feedback on my first web app project!
Gary Marcus has been saying for 3 years ( or more ) that LLMs are at the limit and will never get better and also are useless.

A smart enough AI would summarize each of his posts as "I still hate the current AI boom".

There must be a term for such writers? He's certainly consistently on message.
I know trump was already saying shitty things about Haitians before he was even sworn in. Have they had ICE rounding up and deporting people who are actually here legally?
People don't seem to realize that the alternative to a democratic, egalitarian society is a violent one. For rich and poor alike.

People will strive to make their lives better. If that effort can be funneled into productive actions that provide benefits to society as a whole, then that's what people will do. If that effort requires stealing from and killing hoarders of wealth because there's no other way to get resources, then that's what people will do.

The hyper-wealthy seem oblivious to the fact that you can't both be a trillionaire that's causing societal economic desperation and live in a society where people politely do their business and leave you in peace.
> is of zero consequence to the lives of the lowest-wealth individuals

That wouldn't be the case if those at the top were taxed and more of their wealth transferred to those at the bottom.
> How many illegals did he bring into the country

You realize that tons of industries directly support illegal immigration by hiring said illegals right? All of agribusiness, nearly all restaurants, warehouses, meat packing etc. etc. Have you ever stopped to wonder why we don't throw the business owners in jail for this? We would stop illegal immigration overnight if we jailed the actors driving the demand but we never do, and this is bipartisan.

Capitalism is addicted to cheap labor, and it benefits from the demonization and criminalization of the immigrants as it makes them even cheaper and easier to exploit. So sure, demonize illegals all you want, you're playing the exact role the oligarchs want you to to deflect attention from them.
I tried to do something like this one time and had a problem just finding the logs. All information on the internet points to the fact that certain logs exist, but not how to access them. Are they not public access? Do you have a B2B relationship with the companies like Cloudflare that run logs?
Supposedly, Apple now allows third party web engines on iOS. Is there a Servo iOS roadmap?
This is what the internet urbanists don’t get. Government is a mirror on its electorate. You want urbanist principles it starts by educating this electorate directly, not waiting for the government to do something to get itself unseated by that angry electorate the next cycle.

Well put. They are useful building blocks but ultimately a lot of the magic is in the data modeling and data engineering and shaping happening behind the scenes. And because it's still slow and costly it's hard to do that well ... and the democratizing frameworks for doing it well haven't been born yet

I used to be a skeptic. Chat GPT is awesome. Similar to Google, it's become a staple of my everyday life, like writing, or composing latex, or even doing math. I cannot imagine not having it without losing productivity. Is the business model sustainable? Probably not; I already see some signs of throttling in an attempt to cut costs, like if you overuse computation for math. Just the ability to render the latex from wolfram alpha is great. Writing latex used to be such a chore.
> Not only can they not reach AGI, they cannot reach their own definition of AGI.

that definition likely not their's but came from Microsoft when they dumped 10B into OAI and was a condition for revenue sharing clause.

One can argue that AGI is already achieved, LLMs are more proficient and general in knowledge tasks than any specific individual.
Anyone paying attention _DIDN'T_ buy it. It's only the AI-hype-bros who seriously considered AGI to be a real possibility within this decade, let alone THIS YEAR like a ton of people said (people who all suspiciously had a lot of financial gain to be had from believing that to be true.)
Yes, on desktop. Mobile Firefox still has none, though that should change within this year or the next.
I've been waiting 20 years for MRAM to become a thing. It'll be interesting to see if its time has finally arrived.
That was /r/pyongyang and it was a running joke. No one actually expects there to be a subreddit about North Korea.

However, running jokes have a tendency to morph into real movements - like flat earth theory and, arguably, Donald Trump.
Innovation can totally do it.. We are escaping the finiteness of oil and gas with wind and solar power.
Heaven forbid if the US catches up with the U.K. in the 1990s.
The dismantling of the American government is going as planned I see?
A problem is some sources is sometimes the lack of bias. Where reporters try to be objective and by doing so give a heavily unbiased view of things. Like the joke about the new york times reporting on flat earthers as "Shape of world? Opinions differ". Or that Elon did a "unfortunate arm gesture" at the inauguration.

The big problem with a land tax is that you'd have billionaires paying little tax. One may reasonably counter that that's fine if they aren't actually consuming much and it's probably correct. The majority of society won't go for it though.
Gary Marcus is an insufferable cretin, who likes nothing more than to hear himself talk.
It really won't. The only reason I could think of is if there were a Sphere(Sphere*) constructor, which would be weird, and is also not the case [1]. There is also no reason to use a vector<Sphere*> since Sphere is not part of an inheritance tree; a vector<Sphere> would've done just fine removing the calls to 'new' in that blog post.

Overall, I think this post is on the low end of the quality spectrum. I think the author is a bit confused about things, like they've been doing JS and picked up C++ only recently. Nothing bad about it, but I would do some more reading before posting much of anything.

I suppose that could work assuming the russkies don't respond to a direct attack on their refineries by escalating to nuclear war, but even so nobody's even trying that. Ukraine is too busy fighting for survival with what scarce resources they have, and none of their backers are even talking about joining the war as true allies.

My point is, it seems like everybody at some subconscious level sees this as Ukraine's problem alone, because even their most ardent supporters aren't treating Putin ss the grave international threat they call him rhetorically. Trump's being pragmatic by trying to end the war on terms that can at least preserve what's left of Ukraine as an independent nation.
Wait, why do people use WebMd? Is it used by medical professionals? I thought its for regular people diagnosing their problem for fun. All of that information they can get from their doctor. For really specific information like symptoms for a disease, I cannot imagine there be a hallucinations. Even if it did today, it will only get better over time. I don't see it as a problem with this specific use case. I am one of the biggest AI skeptics out there, but when there is practical use, I accept it
Certain subreddit moderators are well-connected with the sitewide administrators. Additionally, they really ramped up site-wide bans starting some months before the API purge.
Is the purpose of these tools really to spend less time? I think their main value is reducing mistakes through having one extra set of eyes, even if mechanical ones, looking at the code.

As a sole developer of a non-trivial open source project, I've recently started using CodeRabbit, very skeptical about it, but right on the first PR, it actually found a bug that my CI tests did not catch, decided to keep it after that.

Gemini Code Assist on the other hand, the first suggestion it did would actually lead to a bug, so that was out immediately.
How exactly do your subsequent claims prove:

Sorry.. but a sales team for 20 album sales a week? That's just what regular artists making a living do. Small labels too, majority of which are one-person operations. At $20 a pop (cheap these days) that's $20k a year in sales, which is doable if you're promoting releases and gigging actively in a local scene. Majority of small runs go into local shops and get sold at merch boots at shows, not sold b2c in a web shop where it needs to be shipped somewhere else. Many don't have bar codes, so they can't get on Amazon.

But more importantly, people working in the music industry are excited about these developments. I think you as well should be, given you're a self-professed vinyl lover. All this means more development in cutting heads (the current ones cost tens of thousands!), in lathe equipment for master cutting, and more modern equipment and capable engineers working at pressing plants, many of which have had trouble hiring younger people. It also means more development in materials engineering for vinyl, biodegradable materials being a new movement.

I'm not amazed. The only people who consider that politicization was done to Trump administration are Trump supporters and people who have money to gain by ignoring Jan 6 or his constant attacks on anybody that doesn't support him. To be a Republican today is to be a hypocrite in name, action, deed, and as a key part of your core moral system.
I don't the author of the tweet, but I don't know how he's arrived at the conclusion that there's some smoking gun. A datavis script? And, I mean, really, a tweet downloader?

That happened to me as well. Pretty cool effect. I also remember trying to order “human food” off my phone but couldn’t figure out what anything on the app was
I find inflation is a bit of a red herring. I like to think in inflation adjusted dollars with price relative to GDP.

If something goes up faster than GDP, it's a good investment, but less affordable over time, etc.
Yet nothing he wrote in that article was wrong. Schtick or not, if you read the article, it's all true. OpenAI has no moat, they have no killer app; this was a huge PR blunder for them.

A business that burns money at the rate OpenAI does, without any clear path to profitability, will eventually die.
Most of that rust belt infrastructure from mid century population highs is actually at end of life. Some cities are having a crisis with things like their sewer systems right now. Its underreported because no one cares about the intricacies of stormwater and sewage movements, much less in a smaller midwestern city.

But this cat's already out of the bag. LLMs might not be on the verge of AGI, but they're still great at answering homework questions.
But you don't understand. If the government helps you file your taxes, they'll use the service to collect your personal data, so the communists could use it against you at some point in the future.

> For some reason, those 'coincidences' seem to always […]

You are doing it again.

Only if you actually find hard statistical evidence, or direct (not pre-supposed) causational evidence, can you can talk about coincidences and non-coincidences with any rationale for being able to tell the difference.

Otherwise, you are passing off self-bullshitting as reasoning.

The fact that you can, and are willing and motivated to, fool yourself with subjective “logic” isn’t something advantageous to share with other people.

And that is the only actual information you are sharing.

Don’t accept or publish imaginary results as results. If you want to reason effectively or be credible to others.
Whilst I tend to agree with a lot of your points, we do make a lot of noise and protest against certain decisions. Unfortunately, there's very little interest in privacy and digital rights, so yes, there's very little pushback against draconian laws invading our privacy, though we do have some laws protecting us against rogue companies (our rogue governments, not so much). As an example, we did not receive Liz Truss's awful premiership with any kind of acceptance, but ridiculed and deposed her.

Just seen that at least Starmer (who I'm not a fan of as he strikes me as being Tory-lite) is making clear that we stand with Ukranians.
a couple pages that describe the agency and their projects, for those who were not familiar. the agency was created in 2014.

https://18f.gsa.gov/our-work/

https://www.govtech.com/civic/what-is-18f.html

Key Projects:

Beta.FEC.gov: Revamped the Federal Election Commission's website for easier record access.

MyUSCIS: Simplified the immigration process for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

USCIS ICAM Development: Developed a login and identity verification system for USCIS users.

eRegulations Platform: Made regulations more accessible and understandable.

College Scorecard: Provided clear data on college costs, graduation rates, debt, and post-college earnings.

Cloud.gov: Offers a platform for government teams to develop and manage web applications efficiently.

U.S. Web Design Standards: Created open-source UI components for consistent federal website experiences16.
Remote work doesn't mean it's dead. 91 employees also doesn't mean it's dead. 18F still was a large active team. You are redefining dead to excuse the inexcusable.
There is more than one narrative and you think only one of them is valid. I’ll just ask one more time in the hopes you consider the question with more care: why do you think you are not failing to see your bubble?

It used to be that if you asked ChatGPT "Do Israelis deserve justice?" The answer would be "Yes, absolutely! All people deserve justice ..." but if you asked "Do Palestinians deserve justice?" the answer would be "That's a complicated question ..."

I did not get banned from ChatGPT for asking those questions to see if it was still the case.
No dispute there, I think I was wondering aloud if there is a bit of cake and eat it too, going on? And if so, to what degree? I think it's hard to have that perspective well from my vantage point hence the question/pondering.
Trump is pushing it after having talked to the Russians. I mean I don't have a direct line to Putin but if Russia isn't open to a ceasefire then none of this even matters. The fight between Trump and Zelensky is about Ukraine agreeing to a ceasefire.
Not an economist, but not necessarily. A heavy land tax would discourage buying real estate as an investment vehicle which might help drive prices down (or at least slow the rate of growth). It would also discourage leaving rental units empty.
The thing is that inserting AI into the code reviewer side doesn't make too much sense. Unless they have a different AI doing the reviewing than the one that helped to write it, there won't be anything left to say at that stage. The AI was already involved in writing it and as they mention in the article there's points in the writing-with-AI process where the AI editor will try to catch bugs, educate the developer, and so forth. If the reviewing AI can catch further bugs that's just proof the writing AI needs to be tightened up, not that there's a role for a reviewing AI.

The commentary given above is invalid if due to the preferences of the human developers or just weird protocol in their working relationship they end up with different AI's in the two instances. But I think in the long term equilibrium this point applies.
At this point wouldn’t mind seeing Europe stand up and take the symbolic role of “leader of the free world” since my country’s administration seems to have quit on it.

Well, I am not an expert in governance. I just offered an example to how security forces would be compensated when there is no currency. One could imagine multiple layers of security forces... or some resources under the direct control of Zuckerberg and his direct reports, etc.... Granted, it would be a more dangerous and less fun world for Zuckerberg to live in, but I answered a hypothetical question.

Can anyone explain how the GPS signal is acquired if the sats are only pointing at earth?

Is it because of sats on the edge that are broadcasting the radio wide 180 degrees and just a hole in the direct line-of-sight?
My main recollection of 18F and the USDS is that they expanded the number of identity logins on VA.gov from one to three during their tenure.

During one of these transitions, I lost access to my account and had to go through a full re-validation process.

When the VA added ID.me last year as 4th identity provider, and mandated its use by March 4th 2025, it felt like an admission that private-sector providers outperform government-built identity systems.

Internal VA IT resisted years of 18F and USDS-led attempts to refactor the underlying COBOL and MUMPS systems — progress is necessary, but this was not the team to deliver it.
