They don't.

1. LLMs are put in a position where everything they say is clearly based on encyclopedic knowledge of absolutely everything

2. LLMs try to use language that is very general, helpful and friendly, and as a result end up not properly portraying nuances, like "sometimes", "in this case", "not always", etc.

3. Humans are capable of saying "I don't know", or "I think XYZ but I'm not sure"

4. Humans convey that they aren't sure by lack of nonverbal confidence

These are differing sets of skills and issues. LLMs dont behave like humans, they don't solve things like humans, and people take what they say at face value by default.

> It’s faster at AI than an Nvidia RTX4090, because 96GB of the 128GB can be allocated to the GPU memory space

I love AMD's Ryzen chips and will recommend their laptops over an Nvidia model all day. However, this is a pretty facetious comparison that falls apart when you normalize the memory. Any chip can be memory bottlenecked, and if we take away that arbitrary precondition the Strix Halo gets trounced in terms of compute capacity. You can look at the TDP of either chip and surmise this pretty easily.
Totally unrelated, but since you brought it up a bit, I find recipes written in French to usually be much higher quality than similar recipes I find in English -- enough so that I'll alter my country and language for search engines when searching for recipes, and for ChatGPT I'll ask the question French.

Modern translation products aren't too terrible to cook from. Especially if you know some French already, I think you'd get good results dropping your recipes into an online translator and trying to make the most of it.

Where exactly do you think the additional revenue comes from to fill the gap between "infrastructure revenue" and "total transportation spending"?

In California—a state where revenues from user fees approximates 100% of highway expenditures—that only accounts for 45% of the overall transportation budget. Where do you suppose the extra $14.5bn comes from?

I doubt they even could for a book from 1971; word processors and computerized layout that could really handle a book were still in the future. Even in 1981, TeX was only 3 years old. I imagine any masters for it were destroyed, lost, or melted down in the intervening 50+ years.

So the best anyone, even the publisher, could do would be to ask the Library of Congress for a photocopy.

However, I firmly agree that not providing it for sale at a reasonable rate (no higher than the original sale price of a generally-available hardback edition, adjusted for inflation) should end copyright. You made it, you released it, you wanted to profit from it: fine. You own those rights for a long time: don't like it, but not really what I want to argue. You're embarassed by it and don't want anyone to know you published it: hey, man, if you sold it to the public, ever, you put it out there, and if you later decide you don't want to any more, well, you should not have published and taken advantage of copyright protection.

That isn't what is being questioned here. What we're calling into question the legitimacy of the agreements in the first place.

When it brings up the story of the home owners unknowingly breaking their HOA agreement in the beginning, the point isn't that it's unreasonable to expect people to follow rules that they agreed to. It's really two things; it's that A.) They didn't even realize they agreed to those rules and B.) Those rules are, in our opinion, stupid and arguably harmful, and we don't have to allow them.

Now you might argue, "Tough shit, their fault for agreeing to something without paying attention." I don't know if you guys happen to be homeowners, but I would dare you to even try to enumerate the number of obligations you've agreed to throughout the journey of buying a home. The enormous stack of paperwork you have to deal with is not exactly the easiest to digest, especially if you aren't a legal professional. It is fully understandable that someone would fail to grasp what they're getting into when they sign their HOA agreement, which I'm sure to many uninitiated people, is just another formality of home ownership. Most people are only aware of the practice of HOAs because of the pushback from normal people who assume when you buy a house and own land you generally are allowed to do what you want on it subject to some fairly basic legal requirements. And that's crap you have to read and understand in addition to hundreds of other such documents and contracts in your life. Cue the HumancentiPad episode of South Park here.

And even if you do know what you're getting into, it might not exactly be something you want to get into. The housing market is not always in your favor, and these HOAs are quite prevalent in some localities. So while it's technically an agreement, it's often a begrudging one. People who wind up here often won't be caught by surprise by an HOA rule, like the case at the beginning of this article, but that doesn't mean they're any happier.

The good news is, there is precedent here. We don't just let people agree to whatever they want, because the dynamics of some kinds of relationships are too ripe for abuse and negative outcomes for society. Just like how labor laws can restrict what employers can ask you to do, the law can also restrict what HOAs are allowed to enforce, and that's what we're after here. The rationale here is pretty straightforward; I don't give a shit about people's desire to live in neighborhoods with lawns that look like golf greens, but I do care about the ecological disaster that American lawns can be, especially depending on where you live.

Now if you disagree with that premise, then fine, nobody says you have to agree with the article, and I'm not trying to convince anyone to either, but this line of argument is offensively missing the point. I promise you, nobody is misunderstanding how an agreement works.
You're missing my point completely.

These folks very well understand that bad people can steal keys. Stolen keys have been a thing since antiquity. It's not rocket science they don't understand. Every single key in history has had a risk of theft and this is no exception.

The truth is a lot of them understand this just like you. But unlike you, they are willing to accept this risk. You aren't. That's fine. You have a value disagreement -- you don't think the risk is worth it, and they think it is. Which is why you make arguments about the merits of the issue, instead of attacking the other side on their basic literacy. Just because you disagree on values that doesn't mean the other side is stupid or illiterate about the basics.

This isn't about politeness either, it's actively counterproductive to your own cause: insulting people and showing that you lack a basic understanding of their position is a sure-fire way to make sure they dig their heels in and continue to oppose you regardless of the merits of the situation. i.e. it's a grest strategy for losing in the end.

The tone of this article is so strange. It's like the author is lamenting the fact that fewer Russians are signing up to violently extort and oppress members of their own communities on Putin's behalf. Apparently the jackboots getting worn out is a bad thing?
The political gamesmanship in the US is beyond shameful, but that's different in an important way. When the government passively denies you a service by shutting down, that's negligence. When the government actively makes a service worse, that's cruelty for the sake of cruelty, and rightfully gets called out. But when a company actively makes a service worse to induce demand, that's a fat bonus for a PM, where instead we should be calling it out for the cruelty that it is.

Or to put it another way, for a government, cruelty is done for its own sake. In a corporation, cruelty is economically incentivized.
I don’t think it works like that. Gene mixing happens all over the world and our nearest common ancestor of everyone alive today is only 3000 years ago.

The issue is that programming a discrete GPU feels like programming a printer over a COM port, just with higher bandwidths. It's an entirely moronic programming model to be using in 2025.

- You need to compile shader source/bytecode at runtime; you can't just "run" a program.

- On NUMA/discrete, the GPU cannot just manipulate the data structures the CPU already has; gotta copy the whole thing over. And you better design an algorithm that does not require immediate synchronization between the two.

- You need to synchronize data access between CPU-GPU and GPU workloads.

- You need to deal with bad and confusing APIs because there is no standardization of the underlying hardware.

- You need to deal with a combinatorial turd explosion of configurations. HW vendors want to protect their turd, so drivers and specs are behind fairly tight gates. OS vendors also want to protect their turd and refuse even the software API standard altogether. And then the tooling also sucks.

What I would like is a CPU with a highly parallel array of "worker cores" all addressing the same memory and speaking the same goddamn language that the CPU does. But maybe that is an inherently crappy architecture for reasons that are beyond my basic hardware knowledge.
I probably should have just written "counter" or "fight back". I was rushing out the office door when I pushed the reply button.

In some countries you can sue for "unjustifiable threats to begin patent infringement proceedings", but I was also thinking things like filing complaints with the relevant Bar associations. That sort of thing.

You don't have to jointly agree though. If one person is just burned out being a middle manager at a tech company, they can choose to quit and move over to being a construction site traffic controller (holding road signs), for half the pay but a huge boost in happiness. Their partner might not like it, but they're not going to jail over it.

But then they get separated - you no longer have that choice, or you go to jail. It seems orwellian.
> However, this is a pretty facetious comparison that falls apart when you normalize the memory

Why would you normalize though? You can't buy a 96 GB RTX4090. So it's fair to compare the whole deal, slowish APU with large RAM versus very fast GPU with limited RAM.

The scariest thing in France I've seen is ~20yo voting for Mel-the-leftist-egocentric-schmuck so that they could keep doing nothing but taxing productive people. Other that that the "direction of travel" is dual: either drown in the mire of ever increasing taxes or kick ass. My feeling is that France has everything for the later, but for some weird reason prefers the former. Yet, in the meantime, it's OK. And the very latest geopolitics headlines are nice, if they ever come true.

My original point was about individual rights. I'm glad the country stands firm on that.

> how it makes me choose the correct number of neurons in a layer, how many layers, the activation function

Seeing massive ablation studies on each one of those in just about every ML paper should be fairly indicative that nobody knows shit about fuck when it comes to that. Just people trying things out randomly and seeing what works, copying ideas from each other resulting in some vague guidelines. It's the worst field if you want things to be logical and explainable. It's mostly labelling datasets, paying for compute and hoping for the best.
The simplest for sure was using ActiveJob in Rails with Clockwork for scheduling and Postgres for queueing things up.
Sometimes i'm using remote desktop inside a remote desktop, and it amazes me every time that it works so well, like there's no visible performance penalty or quality degradation in that. So yes, maybe it doesn't tunnel TCP but does the main task pretty well. And TCP can be tunneled with ssh, which also does its thing very well.
Bitvise SSH client (a great application BTW) has a nice feature that allows you to open tunneled RDP connection to the machine where you're connected via ssh, with a single button click and without the need for another authentication. Plus all the TCP tunneling you need. Highly recommended.
Ukraine in the early 90s hardly saw Russia as an adversary. After are all they invaded Moldova together.

Also back in the early 90s spending massive amounts of money you can't afford when your country is in an extremely horrible spot economically just in case you might need it 20 years later doesn't seem politically feasible (i.e. you need to be an authoritarian shithole like one of the countries you mentioned or slightly less authoritarian but consider a much larger neighbouring country to be an existential threat which again.. didn't make much sense in the early 90s)

Your assertion that criminals are idiots or lazy might hold true in the case of the high school weed dealer but i'd argue strongly against that case for the international drug trade or traffickers. The more sophisticated the crime, usually the more money, the more incentive to keep it hidden. These laws aren't written about weed dealers, they're written about traffickers. The justifications are always the high level traffickers and related peoples, the people most likely to be locked down anyways.

And besides all that, let's invoke the slope, would you install a camera in your home? Even if you would, are you willing to force that upon every other person, regardless of their feelings or wishes?

That's not to say Apple Maps is better overall for searching for businesses - they often have incorrect hours, or have closed completely.

The story of technological progress is one of shrinking feature sizes in manufacturing. Not just semiconductors, but everything. The Industrial Revolution is really the story of higher tolerance and more reliable manufacturing pins.

You can explore the physical limits of technology by looking at what happens when we reach perfect atomic precision--every atom where we want, in any configuration permitted by physical law. Across nearly every vertical, this represents a 100x to 1000x improvement. In some cases factors of 10^8 to 10^12 over present-day capabilities.

Developing a process to build structures atom-by-atom (essentially 3D printing diamond or other gemstone materials with atomic precision) would enable skipping to these theoretical limits, with the corresponding step function increase in functionality.

It would also move our technological base off being based on rare metals and alloys, and onto an industrial economy built on carbon (diamond and graphene), and other elements commonly available in the Earth's crust and atmosphere. After 3,000 years we will finally move from the Iron Age to the Diamond Age, and with it bring an eventual end to material scarcity and the economic basis for global conflict. You'd seriously need to go back as far as the invention of agriculture or Bronze Age or early Iron Age metallurgy to find a comparably transformative technological advancement.

Within the VC-fundable horizon of the next couple years, early versions of this manufacturing tech will permit making high-value quantum devices like sensors or qubits, as these can be manufactured by introducing certain defects into a growing crystal, with atomic precision relative to other defects or surface features.
