> To be clear, we agree that AIs will eventually outperform humans at nearly all economically valuable activities, and this will lead to a significant acceleration in economic growth.

The (literal) trillion-dollar question, though, is who benefits from this significant acceleration in economic growth? Every major technological revolution, from the Agricultural through the Industrial and into the Digital Revolution, has produced further and further stratification of society. Will this one be the exception?

I can see four ways this can go:

1. We repeat our mistakes, with power concentrating into ever-fewer hands while everyone else enjoys less and less autonomy (at best, in exchange for the bare minimum token quality-of-life improvements to prevent revolts)

2. We learn from our mistakes and achieve the fully-automated luxury gay space communist utopia that techno-optimism has promised us

3. We riot and conduct an anti-automation purge, Butlerian Jihad style

4. We discover that AI wasn't all it's hyped up to be and any AI-driven technological revolution is still a long ways off

I'm hoping for #2. I'm expecting #1 or #4. Society is trending toward #1 or #3.
I agree, preventing devs from even testing features on their own boxes without Apple's permission is excessive gatekeeping. Open source users should be able to grant permission on their own machines. This is a user hostile bandaid around a broken security model.

Although, it's not strictly a paywall, because you can pay for the developer program and still not be granted an entitlement -- although, I guess it's a paywall to be granted access to even ask for an entitlement, which does seem worse.
You were prepared to replace a functioning washing machine just to match a replacement clothes dryer?
Like many unicorns. During the Dot Com era, when Oracle chief Larry Ellison was briefly thought to be lost at sea on his sailing yacht, Oracle’s stock tanked, then recovered after he was found safe.
Always a possibility with custom runtimes, but the weights alone do not pose any form of malicious code risk. The asterisk there is allowing them to run arbitrary commands on your computer but that is ALWAYS a massive risk with these things. That risk is not from who trained the model.

I could have missed a paper but it seems very unlikely even closed door research has gotten to the stage of maliciously tuning models to surreptitiously backdoor someone's machine in a way that wouldn't be very easy to catch.

Your threat model may vary.
Now that I could totally get behind. Built in Matter/Zigbee/Z-Wave radio would be amazing! Might actually make it halfway 'smart'.
The “tax” is enabling total American dominance economically and politically, not to mention huge leverage over all of Europe's military with vendor lock in.
The model itself poses no risks (beyond potentially saying things you would prefer not to see).

The code that comes with the model should be treated like any other untrusted code.
And they switched from tactile controls to touch-sensitive buttons.

I always miss the ding (it's in the basement and very quiet), I'd probably do fine if it simply kept beeping every few minutes, I'd eventually hear one. But just one, nah, not nearly enough.

So, I put a magnetic sensor on the door and made a circuit that starts beeping when the door has been closed for an hour.

Simple as that. Door open, machine not in use. Door closed for less than an hour, probably still running. After that, beep until I open the door. No need for anything networked, no subscription, no terms of service, just more beeping.

(Same with the microwave. There's never a reason to leave cooked food in the microwave with the door closed for a long time, so it dings every few minutes until I open the door. My old microwave didn't do this, but my new one does. It's so simple, why can't they all have this?)
I'm amused by the fact that you're not considered a "job hopper" if you change your company every two years.
Their current best satellite in the constellation is the SuperDove and it takes images ~637 sq km at a time so, as a naive calculation, to cover the whole earth at any single instant you'd need over 800 thousand of Planet's SuperDove ignoring the difficulty of making a constellation that efficient and ignoring that you can also save a lot of birds by confining the area of interest to a narrower band of latitude without missing much activity. Your raw efficiency per satellite does take a small hit as you shrink the latitude coverage because you get a concentration of satellites along the edges but that's just orbital mechanics for you. (you can see this on the starlink constellation trackers, they're moderately denser right along the edge of the latitude band of their orbit: https://satellitemap.space/?norad=59877)

Now if we reduce the time resolution somewhat and accept we may not know at the exact moment where any particular plane is but that it will get captured on a satellite every X minutes you can really start cutting into those numbers.
> First, it lets product designers get lazy.

Product designers get blamed for this kind of thing, but I can all but guarantee the product designer just worked on the how, they didn't decide that your dishwasher needed this feature. We rarely go rogue and create a whole new system that nobody asked for, then convince a bunch of product managers, VPs, and engineers that what they thought was a shitty idea is actually worth doing. Ideas like this get given to us, it's our job to execute on them, just like engineers implementing shitty features to the best of their ability. Product designers are usually the ones who complain about bad user experience, and get told it conflicts with business goals.
A few of them held up signs and some were kicked out. Yes, actually - some of our legislatures were removed from the premises for silently protesting!
I agree with you that realtors have their own sites and Zillow allows people to search for homes . What differentiates us is that we allow natural language and only show what they are looking for . Essentially , what perplexity is doing to Google search. I was thinking to sell directly to real estate firms since they are the ones who are incentivized to sell, but I prefer to make a consumer app since I’m also a real estate investor
Eventually it must be possible, because humans don't come with LIDAR.

But "eventually" can be a long way off. Dunno how far we are from a pure-vision model that is simultaneously good enough for FSD and fits into the power envelope available to a car.

And even then, it feels like an unnecessary handicap to skimp on more sensor modalities.
LinkedIn was created basically for headhunters to pay to contact people and search. That's why it's such junk. It's there to trap "candidates" with an endless feed of dreck, long enough to get headhunters interested in paying to spam them.

We, the candidates, don't need a place to "stand out", like an Instagram for Jobs. We shouldn't be "making content" at all. Nobody should have to create a multimedia presentation to get a job interview.

My own department at work has been working for months to try to find a candidate for a couple positions. Yet there's supposedly so many people out of work? Either everyone out of work is terrible, or the way we find and filter candidates is terrible. I think it's the latter. And I think it's time for an engineering approach. No more bullshit resumes, bullshit headhunters, and bullshit social media. Let's solve this problem, once and for all.

What I think we need, is fine-grained, data-informed, weighted and sorted matching. Show me the people/companies who match what I'm looking for, and sort them based on my criteria.

For candidates:

- How do you do your best work? (select an option, with weighting)
- How many years have you practiced trunk-based development? (select an option, with weighting)
- How much experience do you have with X framework? (select an option, with weighting)
- How many years experience to you have working with blockchain technologies? (select an option, with weighting)

For employers:

- How much do performance reviews affect merit increase or bonus? (select an option, with weighting)
- How much vacation time do you offer? (select an option, with weighting)
- What kind of presence do you require? (select an option, with weighting)
- Does your engineering department have thorough on-call documentation? (select an option, with weighting)

We work in technology. We make this stuff for a living. But nobody's made a simple site to actually filter on this stuff? There's a dozen dating sites that do it. But none for jobs? Despite the fact that we all complain all the time about how hard it is to find jobs, and candidates?

You may not like the examples above, but they're not the point. The point is that we all have questions we'd like to ask, either way. We'd all like to cut out all the BS, like having to tailor all your life's work down to 2 pages of one-line snippets. We'd all like to cut through candidates who won't match our company's culture. And we shouldn't have to read a bunch of 2-page summaries that don't really tell us anything, only to then have a dozen 30-minute calls just to tell us what could have been in an e-mail.
Those products will earn profits to the producers after sale by bundling ads onto the app. Since the cost of producing the networking is less than projected sales, every unit will sooner or later have said networking and app. The app-only dishwashers will then out compete other dishwashers, slowly replacing all alternatives to app-only dishwashers outside "industry dishwashers" which will be app-free but cost 10x that of a dishwasher sold to the private consumer.

Try buy a TV without smart features. You can, but then you got to buy one intended for hotels and pay the market price for products intended for that market.

There are lots of "alliterated" versions of models too, which is where people will essentially remove the models ability to reject responding to a prompt. The huihui r1 14b alliterated had some trouble telling me about tiananmen square, basically dodging the question by telling me about itself, but after some coaxing I was able to get the info out of it.

I say this because I think that the Perplexity model is tuned on additional information, whereas the alliterated models only include information trained into the underlying model, which is interesting to see.

I think a lot of people got discouraged, seeing how openai solved arc agi 1 by what seems like brute forcing and throwing money at it. Do you believe arc was solved in the "spirit" of the challenge? Also all the open sourced solutions seem super specific to solving arc. Is this really leading us to human level AI at open ended tasks?
While CR has the ability to filter by Wifi or not, as time goes on, this will drop to zero. What they don't do is say if the functionality is gated behind 1) an app and 2) behind internet connectivity, they aren't the same.

Specialization has it's down sides as even Adam Smith noted. Doing the same thing every day can feel mentally dull even for knowledge work. If you specialized in sweeping, grinding through a software bug might feel like a great and novel accomplishment.
If such bizarre actions were to actually take place, Tesla’s brand will be the least of our problems.

It’s like saying that if Musk unleashes a billion Optimus robots to take control of the world, people will be mad and stop buying Teslas.
That doesn't answer the question.

It's a race with winners and losers because ego and money. Ego because … well, ego.

Money because whoever develops the most powerful AI and gets enough people to buy into it, will probably retain the top spot for quite a while because inertia (sort of like how Google got to be where it is).

I'm sure some level of paranoia feeds into it at some level. Whoever gets locked in the public's mindset will rule the world and if it's not a Silicon Valley magnate, then they are losers.
I'm having a local appliance recycler pick it up tomorrow — they aggregate these machines, repair various ones using parts from non-working units, and get them back into use again. I'd rather that than it sit in my house until I get time to hack it together again.

It's the tech bro mentality and low interest rates that got us here. It's not enough for a company to just make something good on an open standard. No, they have to go with the enshitification/juicero model and blitzscale the whole market. Appliances should work with zigbee or similar but instead we get a dozen janky apps or 'works with Alexa'.
I would recommend you pay careful attention to your diet

- get the proper amount of essential fatty acids

- experiment with vitamins, especially magnesium

- green, leafy vegetables

- minimal processed sugar & zero alcohol

And exercise. Get some cardio, even if it's just walking for a half-hour to an hour.

It's a struggle, but learning your body will help you optimize your performance and consistency.

Peace be with you, and I wish you the best of luck.
The patch eases the build of the Fortran runtime for (not on) GPUs, but most of the work done to make the C++ implementation of the runtime compilable for GPUs was done a while ago by NVIDIA. I had GPUs in mind when the runtime was first written, and avoided the use of C++ features that didn't play well on the GPU so that most of it could be on the device if needed.
My washer and dryer are miele, and the remote notifications are useful. I've used some of the remote start features to ensure the machines run when the solar is generating, but that's about it

Honestly I'd have been better with the speed queen and a relay wired into the starter switch.

As for the dishwasher, I rigged up my current one to send me end of cycle alerts by putting a current detector loop around it's power inlet, and alerting when it goes from high to low and stays that way for a period

I find this kind of thing a good case for LLMs as they can dumb down the technical jargon:

From Gemini:

```

Imagine you're trying to record someone talking in a noisy room using your MacBook's built-in microphones. This software acts like a super-smart filter:

* It knows where the microphones are: Apple laptops have multiple tiny microphones.

* It listens to all of them at once: It takes the input from all the microphones.

* It figures out where the person talking is: It analyzes the sound to find the direction of the voice.

* It focuses on that voice: It boosts the sound coming from that direction.

* It quiets down the other noises: It reduces the sound from other directions, like background chatter.

So, instead of getting a muddy recording with lots of noise, you get a clearer recording of the person you want to hear.
Basically, it makes your MacBook's microphones sound much better in noisy environments. And it's designed to work within audio programs that use a specific plugin format called LV2.

```

If that was the case, then cooking recipes would be all copyrighted, and you would have to pay a licensing fee every time you made spaghetti. The complexity of copyright is even referenced in the Wikipedia supreme court ruling I linked too. Yet you ask for an honest discussion? What was not forthright in my reply?
About a week ago, I realized there was a gap in tasks managers for immediate small tasks that needed to be done whilst I code on larger projects.

I sat down and whipped up something that is almost eerily similar to what you published here.

I will give it a go and might potentially publish my minimalist version too
FAANG pipelines are likely full of people who fit these criteria - but then they whittle it down to only the ones who can performatively solve leetcode puzzles within strict time controls, and the leadership is left wondering why startups with <1% of their resources are dominating in AI performance and mindshare.
I'd love to hear from the ARC guys:

These benchmarks, and specifically the constraints placed on solving them (compute etc) seem to me to incentivize the opposite of "general intelligence"

Have any of the technical contributions used to win the past competition been used to advance general AI in any way?

We have transformer based systems constantly gaining capabilities. On the other hand have any of the Kaggle submissions actually advanced the field in any way outside of the ARC Challenge?

To me (a complete outsider, admittedly) the ARC prize seems like an operationalization of the bitter lesson

Deep down the elites know this is the best thing that could possibly happen for Europe long term. Shed the dependency on the US, build your own defence economy and the myriad of parallel non military economic benefits that come from defence investment. Yes a painful transition in the short term so you have to whine about it a bit to try and limit the damage, but this US adminstration is the single best thing that has happened to Europe and the UK. This is where Europe gets reborn. In 20-30 years Europe will be a proper superpower again.

SQLite error messages are similarly spartan. I wrote a SQLite extension recently and didn't find it difficult to have detailed/dynamic error messages, so it may have just been a preference of the author.
We have had more luck with our appliances:

* The clothes dryer only needed a new circuit board that cost half of a replacement.

* The microwave only needed a new magnetron that cost the price of a new microwave oven. - Some would find this insane, but none of the new microwaves matched the kitchen decor and replacing everything to make it match the latest fad would have been truly insane.

* The refrigerator’s gasket needed to be pushed back into its groove when it started to come loose.

The only appliance in recent years that I have replaced was a toaster. For some reason, it did not occur to me to try to save it.

As for your dish washing machine, we had problems with our first one and heard from a repair guy that you really need to rinse the dishes before putting them into it. Ever since doing that, we have had zero problems with our machine. Maybe that might aid your new one’s longevity.

I don't know, seems about the same as throwing tea into a river. Doesn't help anyone, the tea was probably already sold so it doesn't even hurt the manufacturer. But it does send a message, doesn't it?
Wow nice collection! Reminds me of the early days of the web. Kinda throws away everything we've learned about accessibility but I guess that's beside the point.
I agree using both a high level and a low level language is normal, and yes using libraries is fine.

It's having both Triton and HIP in the same project which I find weird. It feels very fragmented to me to use two high level languages. Maybe it makes sense given Triton is easier to use but less fully featured, but it definitely didn't strike me as normal.

I would be interested to know if NVIDIA use more than CUDA and PTX/SASS to write CUDNN and CUBLAS.

Why do you think I'm biased? I'm speaking from my own experience with the language last year. Judging by recent reports from others, there still seems to be a lot of confusion about fundamental features.

Though you've clearly invested much more time and effort into the language than me, so either it's gotten better, we haven't run into the same issues, or we have different thresholds for what constitutes an issue. I'm certainly keeping an eye on V, and I might try it out again in a few years.

While it may go against your personal expectations, I believe at least the Python variant is intentional not an accidental/unintended "bug".

"Surprise" is observer-relative. From a blank slate, if --long=val and --long val both work, then why not -s=val and -sval and -s val for a short -s?

So, I think the right word here is "disagreement" (perhaps about "which consistency - history vs. internal"), not throwing shade by simply declaring/asserting it a "bug".
A more interesting question is what could have happened if NASA had used much more of its funding on practical research (including rocketry research), instead of wasting a huge amount of it on sending people up into space for no good reason over the past 50 years.

Currently, almost half of NASAs budget is spent on manned space flight.
I don’t think it’s even that close to the same thing tbh.
