Well music is arguably its own language. You wouldn't expect a monolingual English speaker to speak fluent Chinese. In the same way you can't expect a musically untrained person (or model) to "speak music".

But if you took an LLM size neural network and trained it on all the music in the world - I dare say you may get some interesting results.
I just asked gpt-4o:

“9.9 is larger than 9.11.

This is because 9.9 is equivalent to 9.90, and comparing 9.90 to 9.11, it’s clear that 90 is greater than 11 in the decimal place.”
Haha, no. He praised Trump immediately after.

> but I don’t see any of that hard work in what he writes

I didn’t say he wasn’t a scientist. I said his pontifications aren’t backed by the hard work of doing real research.
Democracy isn't binary and doesn't start and end with elections. It is not democratic, for instance, for a president to subvert the powers of Congress (whose members also won their elections).
So the government takes physical assets? Didn't we fight a war over property rights?

My neighbor is way wealthier than me. So its ok if I take his car. He has enough he can just buy another one.
> Your intentions are good, but you're just stating the same thing as what you quoted with more steps.

Incorrect. The parent comment was talking about using epigenetic measurements of specific people to decide if they get resources. The child comment was not talking about doing that, instead saying that this research can be used to argue for more resources in general.

The only mention of demographics in the child comment was about groups likely to experience violence. Those groups would have no markers. It would be purely about how we can most effectively reduce violence.

The only measurements suggested in the child comment would be for statistical purposes.
> it's not a straw man. the security guarantees zelensky requested and used to hold up the deal extend to that.

It does not. Europe has been willing to send troops on the ground. The guarantee from the US could be in the form of equipment, air interdiction, etc. Note the the US already had guaranteed Ukraine sovereignty when it gave up its nukes. So no new treaty should even be necessary if the US only stuck to its words.

> it was, in fact, a fair deal. the minerals deal was to ensure we got some sort of repayment for all the aid we've already sent

No repayment was expected when the aid was given, otherwise it would have been given as loans.

Do you ask for repayment 2 years after giving people gifts? I would hate to be at your Christmas gathering.

> to make us a bit more comfortable with the additional aid

That's not how treaties work. You put, IN WRITING, something you agree to do and the other sides does too.

If Ukraine commits to give something while the US "feels good" about maybe doing something (or not, who knows?), that's not fair.

> what he did was simple disrespect

Musk holds conferences in the oval office in T-shirt and MAGA cap while his child scolds the president. Nobody stepped in to ask where was his suit, and certainly not the president.
The other side is made up of and cares about the wellbeing of people they don’t like (people of color, lgbtqia, traditionally oppressed people, disabled people, etc.)

That’s it: extinction burst because winning because of attributes you inherited wasn’t working.

Also, real easy to say “shit sucks”. Really hard to actually make things that don’t suck.

That, plus a healthy dose of anti-intellectualism, is a ratchet to hell.

So help me understands Europe's reasoning for not keeping its spending commitments to NATO during peace time? We still met ours, still met all our obligations despite ongoing wars.

I agree now things really matter but why should America be on the hook for wartime sacrifices when Europe couldn't be bothered to do the easy part in peace time? No one ever answers this simple question. They all just down vote me which is fine but if there is a rebuttal to this let me know.
My experience has certainly been that AWS is both a) more stable, and b) has more migration resources and guides than the reverse.

It was easier to go to AWS than to Azure; and I've done both in the past ~4 years. Migrating to AWS was just technical work. Migrating to azure was 'fight unexpected bugs and the fact it doesn't actually work in surprising situations'.

The only reason to go to azure was that Microsoft waved a big fat $$$ discount to use their services.

Migrating to AWS was a breeze.
> it’s just that what developers get vs what’s expected of us and what we had to do to get there is very different than what it is for almost the entire rest of the working world

It's about margins. Software has the 2nd highest margins of any sector (highest is High Finance), so it's easy to pay competitively in software compared to other fields.
To me it is just another step in series of layoffs. Throw some insults see if some leave after this humiliation. Or they pretend nothing has happened and wait for their turn in next layoff.
Because employees are just numbers and a business is about optimizing the numbers. Meanwhile what we're getting as a civilization is faster and faster pace of living life in general. Faster information consumption, faster jobs, faster food, faster communication, faster spending, faster startups, etc. etc.

So we're basically sacrificing human connection, healthy communities, for a faster paced life style that is dominated by technology... for the purpose of building more technology. It's insane but I wonder if it's inevitable, and I wonder if this is what the Bible is really about and whether that has been the point of religion all this time (and it has lost its way since the Enlightenment).

If you read the second paragraph the authors explain what they mean by "becoming".

>People in advanced economies stand to inherit around $6trn this year—about 10% of GDP, up from around 5% on average in a selection of rich countries during the middle of the 20th century. As a share of output, annual inheritance flows have doubled in France since the 1960s, and nearly trebled in Germany since the 1970s. Whether a young person can afford to buy a house and live in relative comfort is determined by inherited wealth nearly as much as it is by their own success at work. This shift has alarming economic and social consequences, because it imperils not just the meritocratic ideal, but capitalism itself.

I'm quite concerned about the web becoming closed at this point. Bigger websites are mostly walled gardens, there's an increasingly big amount of generated crap (even before LLMs), and on top of that Chromium is the new IE, which on it's own a bit better than before since the core is open, but still a bad cherry on top, especially since the Ad push from Google. I don't want `chrome://settings/adPrivacy` on my browser as the optimal amount of ads and tracking is zero.
To add on to that, counting on them to feel shame or self-reflection. That does not exist.
I don't see colocation charges in there, unless you were planning on running your 'server' out of your house on a residential internet connection (that probably has restrictions on acceptable use.)

By the time you spec out a real server (redundant power, higher quality components than Newegg stuff), rent some space in a rack, pay for bandwidth (50Mbps is going to be about it without paying a premium), you're going to be looking at $5000 + $300/m. All that effort, whereas you could spin up something in the cloud for a bit more per month.

This does flip quickly, however. Once you get into the high 5-figure monthly spend, running your own hardware makes sense again. DHH's blog posts on 'Leaving the Cloud' are a great read.

That’s because the Dems aren’t so different than the GOP when it comes to a lot of that stuff. They’re still the party of the rich, just a different set of rich. The DMC made it clear in 2016 that it rejected the liberal economic policies when it shut down Bernie (who I think could have beat Trump). And radicals like AOC have been a thorn in the side of Pelosi and her ilk. The Dems try to play it safe, but I think if they embraced the radical side they’d find a base to match the MAGA energy and win. That’s what it’s gonna take.

I don't get it. Watched the first video, and it seems like the LLMs provided no value at all? Like, you already knew where the bug was, and what the bug was, and they couldn't find it?

Again these things take time. I can see how people don't like the method but I will wait to judge it by the results. Please bear in mind that Clinton fired 377,000 federal workers in the 90's. Things didn't come crashing down.

We need more oversight and less people imho. I am actually hopeful that they will have the ability to push through better software systems to track initiatives and spending. It isn't the number of employees it is where was all the money going, it was/is the lack of insight/transparency which has eroded my confidence in the federal government.

My true wish is they have the guts to pass legislation outlawing campaign contributions. It isn't just parts of the house that need a thorough purging to be honest.

Divisive? Bellicose? Flames?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a less divisive thread than this one, having read _hundreds_ of comments in this thread. There is virtually no flame war going on here and opinions are fairly uniform on the matter at hand.

It’s more incendiary for this pretty civil discussion to be called divisive when there’s hardly any evidence that it is. The comments I most disagree with are all about appeasement, which is in my opinion misguided and coming from a place of saving lives (even if all the evidence is there in practice that it won't in the long run), rather than actively malicious.

>but for it to be generational wealth you must then pass on more than you inherited. Further it doesn’t serve as a major investment, because your parents only die ~25 years before you do, meaning it can’t be used to start a business or something similar.

At least in theory that's not hard to pull off. From the article:

>By one calculation, if America’s rich families in 1900 had invested passively in the stockmarket, spent 2% of their wealth each year and had the usual number of children, there would be about 16,000 old-money billionaires in America today. In fact, there are fewer than 1,000 billionaires and the vast majority of them are self-made.

The average inheritor might be too spendthrift to stick to the plan, it's not exactly impossible as you suggest.

This administration is not actually addressing any of this btw. It isn't even clear that the billions of dollars "saved" from withdrawing support from Ukraine would even go to infrastructure, debt, or helping people. In fact, just the opposite, because the administration is slashing the exact programs for people who need help (laying off suicide hotline workers at the VA).

Oops!
Yup, the hardest part about migrating to Azure was jumping between all the managed services that work everywhere else but are insanely buggy on Azure. We ended up with the most basic architecture you can imagine (other than AKS, which works great as long as you don't use any plugins) and we're still running into issues.

We have a very long list of Azure features and services that we've banned people from using.

Just got off a call with someone at Azure today who told us to setup our own NAT gateway instead of using Azure's because of an outage where we made too many requests and then got our NAT Gateway quota taken away for the next 2 hours.

It implies maintaining the browser would better fund the mission in the long run than selling user data to adtech now as the user count continues to decline.

Google pays Apple 18 billion dollars per year to be the default search engine on Safari. If Firefox had managed to stay just as popular imagine how much more money they'd have been making on search deals these last 5 years and how much of that could have went to whatever mission they wanted. Instead they've got a whole lot of noise adding up to about nothing for income + a much smaller search deal than they should have. That's why "having a social mission" isn't inherently the issue, it's all about the management around balancing how the investment for the social mission is done.

I think GPs numbers are off by an order of magnitude or so though. I remember reading something like Mozilla spending 200 million/year on software development (not all Firefox) so it might take 300+ million/year just on Firefox to really have a big impact from status quo. Someone with the real numbers is invited to correct me on that. Browsers have huge teams of people, even Ladybird is using large components like Skia developed by other browser teams.
But it says "Your use of Firefox must follow [the terms of use for Mozilla services]"

You could make this a bring your own key product. But that will likely limit your market to technical users and businesses already invested enough in AI to have a key.

The claims that AI will itself solve the problems it creates are I think my favorite variation of this. I think it was Eric Schmidt who recently said well sure breakneck AI spending will accelerate climate change but then we'll have AI to solve it. Second cousin to Altman saying it will solve "all of physics," I suppose... and actually he said "fixing the climate" right before that.
I know we're talking about AWS and Azure here, but had to add that fwiw, the M365 admin interface(s) are so bad it practically feels like a prank. In other words, it's as though someone is purposely making them as chaotic as possible to what end I can't even guess.
>Every positive comes with a negative, nothing is created nothing is destroyed.

This is a platitude that has no bearing on reality. Technological advance in the past 2 centuries has increase our wealth and standards of living by orders of magnitude. You can come up with token objections about how each advancement had some downsides (indoor plumbing is bad because... copper mines pollute the environment?), but it's certainly not the case that "nothing is created nothing is destroyed". Technological advancement has created untold wealth.
