That would be all nice and dandy, except that by doing that you validate all the things that Google did before to kill off any competition in the video hosting space.

There were plenty of platforms out there that could not rely on Google's bottomless coffers to sustain their operation. Were you paying for those as well?
Imho, and as a xoogler who's been in Google Cloud's ecosystem the past few years, Google Cloud's three big focus areas have been AI (this is an evolution from their historical focus on data, then also analytics), Distributed Cloud (Anthos++) and security (post the Mandiant acquisition). They'll never be able to compete on base infra, given their late entry into the game, lack of presence in certain markets, and the lock the competition has in some industries (Azure in industrial/mfg, AWS in pharma, etc), and they know that, so they've lately been focused on what they believe they can control. One of those things is the narrative that Google Cloud is the most secure cloud.

It shouldn't be overlooked that acquiring Wiz is also a way for Google to secure a beachhead in half the Fortune 100, many of which are "enemy" territory.

The price is high, but there aren't many options available and Wiz has the advantage of being built on Google Cloud natively, and already have Marketplace integrations completed.

You can, but the complaint rings hollow when we’re talking about a service with enormous amounts of actual good content, and a straightforward non-abusive paid plan. If you don’t think it’s worth it, that makes complete sense. If somebody decides there isn’t anything worth paying or watching ads and just bails out, totally sensible. But this “ads are so terrible we should just abandon the service” thing is weird here. YouTube is an example of doing it right. They use ads to support a free tier, and have a paid plan that removes them. They don’t do nonsense where they take your money and still show you ads. They don’t serve unvetted ads that infect your computer with malware or mine cryptocurrency. If people won’t even consider paying for this (not merely deciding it’s not worth it, but refusing to even consider it as a possibility) then I have to conclude that they just think they’re entitled to get stuff for free.

"Invested massively" because the could get scaling advantages. Both companies built off of existing OS and ad tech monopolies which should have been regulated long ago.

"Lots of developers already familiar with their stacks" is a network effect.

> Monopoly does actually mean only a single provider

Is a tomato a fruit?

I was very clear to give my definition of "monopoly", to include "oligarchy" for those who wanted to be picky, to point to how others describe De Beers as a "monopoly", consistent with my use, and to show how even the Wikipedia page on "monopoly" is not disagreeing with me.

You'll note that same Wikipedia page for "monopoly" lists De Beers and Standard Oil as monopolies, when they were not sole providers of diamonds or petroleum, respectively.

> They're actually famous for not raising prices.

Right. You are using Bork's 1970s influential re-orientation of monopoly power away from general anti-competitive behavior to focus only on "consumer welfare". I agree with Lina Khan (starting with "Amazon's Antitrust Paradox") and others, who argue that Bork's standard is too narrow.

Or, to use your terms, Bork's right-wing viewpoints twisted established law to allow abusive behavior by powerful companies, so long as consumer pricing was not affected. V.P. Vance likes Khan because he wants the right to use the stick to beat companies which don't support the right. This is only possible because all of the big tech companies already abuse their market power, because Bork gave them the freedom to do so.

> This so-called legal definition isn't a definition at all, it's a purely political construct

All laws are political constructs. What is "ownership"? Do you own the water which falls on the land you own? What is a "reasonable search"? What is "cruel and unusual punishment"?

The Adam optimizer was published at ICLR, a top conference in machine learning. So, basically, analogous to a peer-reviewed journal for the purposes of this discussion. ML (and some other subfields of computer science) have the particularity that the really comptetitive gatekeeping happens even more in conferences than in journals.

That said, there definitely are very relevant papers that are not published in any peer-reviewed venue. A good example is "Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners" (the GPT-2 paper, which I would argue started the whole generative LLM revolution). But I think if you look for this kind of papers, you will find something in common to all of them: they are by very well known researchers, elite institutions or influential companies. That's why people went out of their way to read them even if they were posted somewhere without peer review.

If you removed peer review and just relied on posting to arXiv or similar, new researchers, or researchers from less known institutions, would have no chance at all to make an impact. It's peer review that allows them to be able to submit to a top journal, where the editor and reviewers will read their paper, and they can get a somewhat fair chance.

PS: I don't really like the peer review system that much either. It's just that every alternative that I have seen proposed so far is worse.

I agree and never claimed that "a single person" could - but just because something is too complex for a single person to fully understand does not make it "mysterious" or a "black box". So what is the claim you are making? Anything beyond the complexity of a single person to understand = magic?
Tape is reliable and suitable for long term archiving, but it still needs care and feeding.

Having some kind of parity data recorded so losing a single tape does not result in data loss, routine testing and replacement of failing tapes, and a plan to migrate to denser media every x years are all considerations.

Spinning rust just feels simple because the abstractions we use are built on top of a substrate that assumes individual drive (or shelf) failure. Everybody knows that if you use hard drives you'll need people to go around and replace failing hardware for the entire lifetime of the data.

> Making yourself a subsided of Amazon was never wise

True, but the AWS pricing doesn't make sense otherwise. If you're not using the managed services, then the value proposition is no longer there. Using those services is what allows you to build massive systems for relatively cheap, with much less staff. We had a project that was to be moved from on-prem to Azure (same deal), it went from thousands of Euros per month to fitting into the a free-tier, but only because we could use managed services. Spinning up the same VMs would cost more than hosting it ourselves.
I use KeepassXC as well and it works well enough. Its still not as clean as just an SSH key login which we could have done on the web years ago and would make everyone’s life easier.

If you’re buddies with higher-ups, they absolutely can and will look upon your projects with a softer eye. There’s a limit, of course, and that heavily depends on the company culture, but it’s unreasonable to expect favoritism to not factor in at all.
I'm confused by the language here; it seems "model" means different things.

To me a "model" is a static file containing numbers. In front of that file is an inference engine that receives input from a user, runs it through the "model" and outputs the result. That inference engine is a program (not a static file) that can be generic (can run any number of models of the same format, like llama.cpp) or specific/proprietary. This program usually offers an API. "Wrappers" talk to those APIs and therefore, don't do much (they're neither an inference engine, nor a model) -- their specialty is UI.

But in this post it seems the term "model" covers a kind of full package that goes from LLM to UI, including a specific, dedicated inference engine?

If so, the point of the article would be that, because inference is in the process of being commoditized, the industry is moving to vertical integration so as to protect itself and create unique value propositions.

Is this interpretation correct?

> Sure, there’s a lot of crap. But you don’t have to watch that.

But even non-crappy content will be steered toward some direction by the advertisement, most videos are made just long enough to fit whatever is the new optimum time for revenue per view. And some subject will be censored to not displease advertisers.

Some people are not doing that, but it's simply because they don't rely on YouTube revenues.
Wiz uses various API's via read access in your accounts/orgs/subscriptions to assess risk of configuration.

They also snapshot your disks, cloning them to Wiz accounts to provide secrets scanning / vuln scanning / etc against your infra.

These resulting risks / findings are scored and provided in their SAAS Wiz console via dashboards / APIs / integrations with remediation guidance.
it depends on the sources that are used and above all on how much data is imagined before making an average ranking of the products... so in that case it is very useful rather than reading N sources and then deciding what to focus on
> This whole conversation has been about reducing intelligence to its defining component.

Not really, but I can see why you might say this. Neither Russell nor I are attempting to define "the one component" of intelligence -- we're saying that there is no single kind of intelligence. Only when one defines a particular (agent, environment, goal) triple can one can start to analyze it statistically and tease apart the related factors. You and I agree that the result will be multifaceted.

I wouldn't say I'm trying to "reduce" anything. I would say I've been attempting to explain a general definition of intelligence that works for a wide variety of types of intelligence. The goal is to reduce unnecessary confusion about it. It simply requires taking some extra time to spell out the (agent, environment, goal).

Once people get specific about a particular triple, then we have a foundation and can start to talk about patterns across different triples. If one is so inclined, we can try to generalize across all intelligent behavior, but frankly, only a tiny fraction of people have put in the requisite thought to do this rigorously. Instead, many people latch onto one particular form of intelligence (e.g. abstract problem solving or "creativity" or whatever) and hoist these preferred qualities into their definition. This is the tail wagging the dog in my opinion. But this is another topic.

the idea would be to slowly charge the capacitor to its capacity in the breaks between the charger being used. That way when you arrive at the charger, the capacitor would be fairly full and able to quickly transfer that energy to your car. The charger would then replenish that capacitor more slowly (meaning that the charger wouldn't be able to be used for a bit).
Anecdotally I noticed this in aider with 3.7 as well; the responses coming back from Claude 3.7 are wayyy more tokens than 3.5(+), and the model is a little less responsive to aider’s prompts. Upshot - it benchmarks better, but is frustrating to use and slower.

Using claude code, it’s clear that Anthropic knows how to get the best out of their model — and, the output spewing is hidden in the interface. I am now using both, depending on task.

I’d go even further and say that HTTP/3 gives almost no gains for the average person using a high speed wired or wireless internet connection at a fixed location (or changing locations infrequently).

However, for high latency mobile connections while roaming and continuously using the internet, it’s quite an optimisation.

I wouldn’t expect even the vast majority of devs in FAANG to care. It should purely be an infrastructural change that has no impact on application semantics.

If you're a sci-fi and/or a fantasy fan I really recommend watching the original film and the prequel in that order and make your own mind up.

I was young when the original came out so I found it good but scary. I felt the prequel was excellent and it left me wanting more.

These days I feel a lot of my youthful nostalgia has been vandalised for a quick corporate buck. Probably the worst has been Willow on Disney+.

There are so few examples of good follow-ups to nostalgic media. The only other example I can think of is Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017).
Just buy the content and play it from your local devices. I use streaming simply for "auditioning" new music (and there are podcasts, YouTube channels that do that without a subscription, FWIW). I prefer then to buy the tracks from Bandcamp. Hopefully the artists get a bigger slice of the revenue that way.
