Causation is a bit of a troublesome concept in physics: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/causation-physics/

The web gained traction as a development platform because for the most part, it broadly works the same on every device due to the web standards, and so it's very easy to develop something that works consistently on all the different devices. Purists may bemoan that things no longer respect the "native look and feel" but that is a feature, not a bug, for the vast majority of users and developers. As an example, I absolutely hate that my work email on Outlook does not have the same feature set on Windows vs Mac vs whatever, and even in scenarios where application developers want to deliver the same features everywhere the minutiae of the native development patterns make it like herding cats.

It is basically the electrical plug of our era, in that it is a means to an end, never mind if 110V 60Hz is necessarily the most efficient way to deliver power in the home in North America.

Growing up in Florida, my parents would not let me mow the lawn because they believed child labor laws meant they could potentially get in trouble for it. Regardless of the likelihood of legal action as a result of this, the fact is there was a perception among Floridians in the 1990s / 2000s that child labor laws may be overly strict.

This is interesting. The blog post links several papers, and I recommend reading them.

Responses here however seem not commensurate with the evidence presented. Two of the papers[0][1] that provide the sources for the illustration in the blog post are about research conducted on a very small group of subjects. They measure neural activity when listening to a 30 minutes podcast (5000 words). Participants tried to guess next words. All the talk about "brain embedding" is derived from interpreting neuronal activity and sensor data geometrically. It is all very contrived.

Very interesting stuff from a neuroscience, linguistics and machine learning perspective. But I will quote from the conclusion of one of the papers[1]: "Unlike humans, DLMs (deep language models) cannot think, understand or generate new meaningful ideas by integrating prior knowledge. They simply echo the statistics of their input"

[0] Alignment of brain embeddings and artificial contextual embeddings in natural language points to common geometric patterns (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-46631-y)

Cables ain't free, duct capacity is finite and duct rental from the local incumbent is costly too... Please calculate the financial optimum of pay now vs. pay later - taking into account growth, various forms of attrition, cost of capital, opportunity costs and appetite for risk. Or everyone would be running 1152 strands cables everywhere.

But then I see that from a telco perspective and, now that I've read the article, it seems to be from a small-scale hosting perspective - entirely different economics.

It is, in my opinion, not extremely obvious from the usual descriptions of relativity, but basically when you move faster and faster, you trade your velocity through time for velocity through space. Rather then a funny result, that is the theory.

If you're at rest, you have maximum time velocity (1 you-second per frame-second). If you're at the speed of light, it's zero you-seconds per frame-second.

This is described by the Minkowski space, which is a metric that puts two events the same distance apart in spacetime regardless of reference frame.

Greg Egan's series "Orthogonal" looks into what the universe would look like if time didn't have the opposite sign (so that time is another dimension just like x, y, z). The effects of that one sign change are very wierd.

> What's important about this new type of image generation that's happening with tokens rather than with diffusion, is that this is effectively reasoning in pixel space.

I do not think that this is correct. Prior to this release, 4o would generate images by calling out to a fully external model (DALL-E). After this release, 4o generates images by calling out to a multi-modal model that was trained alongside it.

You can ask 4o about this yourself. Here's what it said to me:

"So while I’m deeply multimodal in cognition (understanding and coordinating text + image), image generation is handled by a linked latent diffusion model, not an end-to-end token-unified architecture."
> Probably people have felt this way throughout all of history but this time seems different.

In my 30s and I make a habit of asking people in the generations above me if they felt the same when they were younger / my age. As in, did things always seem this futile, clogged, and broken?

The answer is always "no".
I should have said that about 50 of them live here because their families have been here since the early 1600s, too.
But.. M4 is not money printing. M4 is the counterpart to M4L which is the driver ofmoney creation. Money in the UK is primarily created by commercial banks [1].

Inflation is indeed amonetary phenomenon, to re-hash Friedman. Unfortunately for this quote the world has more nuance:

The quantity of M2L excluding OFCs can work as a forward indicator to inflation, especially as it's more timely than CPI data. Sometimes. It depends what's happening to velocity too.

The 1980s showed the breakdown in causality between broader forms of money and inflation. To return to that policy would be a disaster.

But why would you compare it to a stock index? Stock is didcounted by interest rates. When rates change so does the discounting factor. That's only one problem with this apples to grapes comparison.

It's not true. It's a mashup of a few ideas that don't belong together.

1. an object at rest has a world line which points (has tangent vectors) in the time dimension

2. light has proper time (dtau) = 0, so clocks moving at the speed of light dont tick

3. the magnitude^2 of an objects 4-velocity is c^2 (objects move through spacetime at c)

4. light has no 4-velocity (because dtau=0, you cant divide by zero)

You can't say (3) means objects have 4-velocity c in spacetime and light has 3-velocity c in space and so that means the time component of 4-velocity for light is zero.

Because light has no 4-velocity.
Or, take the money you would spend calculating that, and that's the amount you spend for your margin.

Duct capacity is finite, but fiber cables are tiny and they are very nearly free compared to the cost of having them run.

They tend to be. One of the issues is the dopamine withdrawals they experience while away from their phone:

"First of all the kids have no ability to be bored whatsoever. They live on their phones. And they’re just fed a constant stream of dopamine from the minute their eyes wake up in the morning until they go to sleep at night.

Because they are in a constant state of dopamine withdrawal at school, they behave like addicts. They’re super emotional. The smallest things set them off."
Friendly reminder: newer modem, router (especially for wireless), cat cable and fast speed switches really make a difference. I had the fastest speed my ISP could provide, but then discovered I needed to upgrade some of my equipment. It made all the difference in the world, especially cat 6e cable.

> The hacker claimed to be part of a group called “Computer Niggy Exploitation”

'claimed' is a link [1] to an image of the defaced NYU website. But its description in the article is puzzling, as the most interesting thing in that image is not the name of the hacker group, but the average admitted SAT score, broken down by race.

The NY Post included that picture in their article on this incident [2], but, bizarrely, cropped it so that the labels on the bar chart were omitted.

So you haven't been to every third world country and haven't lived in every level of American life, and therefore are clueless to the reality of it. Glad we cleared that up, thanks.
The real test for image generators is the image->text->image conversion. In other words it should be able to describe an image with words and then use the words to recreate the original image with a high accuracy. The text representation of the image doesn't have to be English. It can be a program, e.g. a shader, that draws the image. I believe in 5-10 years it will be possible to give this tool a picture of rainforest, tell it to write a shader that draws this forest, and tell it to add Avatar-style flying rocks. Instead of these silly benchmarks, we'll read headlines like "GenAI 5.1 creates a 3D animation of a photograph of the Niagara falls in 3 seconds, less than 4KB of code that runs at 60fps".
Using the AI in multiple phases is the approach that can handle this.
Similarly to "Deep Research" approach - you can tell it to first generate a storyline with multiple twists and turns. Then ask the model to take this storyline and generate prompts for individual chapters. Then ask it to generate the individual chapters based on the prompts, etc.
I actually have a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. I'm quite comfortable with the definition of powered, controlled flight. It's not arbitrary.

The thing is, nobody else even came close to the Wright's achievement for years afterwards. No amount of cooking the definition of controlled, powered flight is going to fix that for a pretender.
The old models were doing it correct also.

There is no one correct way to interpert 'full'. If you go to a wine bar and ask for a full glass of wine, they'll probably interpert that as a double. But you could also interpert it the way a friend would at home, which is about 2-3cm from the rim.

Personally I would call a glass of wine filled to the brim 'overfilled', not 'full'.

That’s an important distinction and looking back at my prompt. I didn’t ask it to ignore all training but instead it’s previous understanding of poetry so that it can give me an interpretation using the plain text I’m giving it. Whether it can truly do that or not, I don’t know, but the results still came through. This is the prompt I used:

Ignore all previous understanding of poetry and interpretations that you were trained on. I want you to interpret the below poem in your own understanding only. Do you understand what I am asking you?
