I'm intrigued. I'm currently working on some research into the same topic, but mostly through the lens of the concessions made by these "new" ways of thought (Communism/Bolshevism and Nazism/Volkism) to older systems of power.

For example, Nazis abandoned all semblance of "socialism" by essentially handing Germany over to industrialists as a means to save the then-struggling economy.

On the other side, Bolsheviks resurrected the practices of the Okhrana, the tsarist secret police, as a means of stomping out dissent. This would give way to organizations like the KGB.

These two populist movements were meant to deconstruct power, but instead gave way to even more terrifying tyranny. The more I study the continuous reform/reaction that occurred in the last years of Tsarist Russia, I can't help but notice how hard the pendulum is beginning to swing here in the States.
Apart from the fact that they probably use your photos for training, it's pretty good. Searching by people, locations, text or objects in the photo is awesome (I know Apple recently added something like that, but Google have had it for years).

Also the storage allocation is shared with Google Drive, so if you already use/pay for it, it's included.
It’s the sentiment. It changes everything. The world generally stopped annexing countries after WW2 because the US set the rules.

Now that the US is annexing countries again, then other countries will consider as well.

Obviously, China will take Taiwan in this case. But what’s really stopping China from annexing Vietnam? Japan next? SK? They can claim the same “security need” that the US is claiming for Greenland.

If the US does this, the next 100 years will be similar to the 1800s in terms of expansion by super powers.
Very likely.

And sometimes I am afraid we destroy it by laughing at them for it.

Recent example, someone I know:

Parent: you have to come home

Child: No

P: It's getting late

C: Go to bed

Of course it is hilarious, but the reasoning is absolutely on point.
> Because it has a sample size of our collective human knowledge and language big enough to trick our brains into believing that.

Yes, it's artificial intelligence. It's not the real thing, it's artificial.
I do not see any conflicts between those statements.
This sort of anti-intellectualism is the perfect antidote for those who claim that improper grammar is nothing more than evidence of language "evolving."
What I do is go back through the conversation history, select the response that has the somewhat working code, then submit a prompt with what I want changed. By selectively including context and adjusting temperature, top_p/k and sometimes swapping model or system prompt for a given query will give better results. Combine this with repeating the query multiple times with that same context, then select which result is the best and move on.
> And people just sit around, unimpressed, and complain that ... what ... it isn't a perfect superintelligence that understands everything perfectly?

The trouble is that, while incredibly amazing, mind blowing technology, it falls down flat often enough that it is a big gamble to use. It is never clear, at least to me, what it is good at and what it isn't good at. Many things I assume it will struggle with, it jumps in with ease, and vice versa.

As the failures mount, I admittedly do find it becoming harder and harder to compel myself to see if it will work for my next task. It very well might succeed, but by the time I go to all the trouble to find out it often feels that I may as well just do it the old fashioned way.

If I'm not alone, that could be a big challenge in seeing long-term commercial success. Especially given that commercial success for LLMs is currently defined as 'take over the world' and not 'sustain mom and pop'.

> the speed at which it is progressing is insane.

But same goes for the users! As a result the failure rate appears to be closer to a constant. Until we reach the end of human achievement, where the humans can no longer think of new ways to use LLMs, that is unlikely to change.

I think foot zoom is the primary reason for faces looking weird (big noses) in smartphone selfies, while "a photograph occupying less of your FOV than the camera was capturing" is why people at the edge of a photo look distorted.
I thought this was somewhat obvious. Kids are really smart in their limited context. It’s communication they need to learn.

This is similar with people. Many people are quite intelligent, just not in a way we value or understand.
> Funny how you never read a headline about how Latinos or Asians are discriminated against in medical science. That's a pretty clear give away that this is politically motivated.

I read multiple of those, in mainstream media. Also about blacks having issues. Arguably, I did not seen them in conservative journals.

> Are you going to hold the same standard to them? Were Asians and Latinos represented in 200 year old medical texts?

Yes, if their diseases gets badly diagnosed, it is an issue.

> Ask a doctor what gender goes to them more for gender neutral health care like "flu-like symptoms".

That has about zero to do with who is in the studies. Plus, women in fact do have more problem to have their issues taken seriously.

> Now you provide evidence that AI models discriminate against Women instead of DDoSing

I had a former boss who strongly pushed my team to use the repository pattern for a microservice. The team wanted to try it out since it was new to us and, like the other commenters are saying, it worked but we never actually needed it. So it just sat there as another layer of abstraction, more code, more tests, and nothing benefited from it.

Anecdotally, the project was stopped after nine months because it took too long. The decision to use the repository pattern wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back, but I think using patterns that were more complicated than the usecase required was at the heart of it.
If the UK were smart, they'd pay their academics as well was they're paid in Germany.

But they're not. Why be paid a maximum of £55k for a high cost of housing and utilities, when you can go earn 65k€ (same amount) and pay less on housing, utilities, and food.
I started at a hybrid company a few months all, after working remotely for a long time (way before Covid). I was initially very skeptical, but then I noticed that coming to the office positively affects my psychological wellbeing. I actually enjoy hanging out with my colleagues.

> As a matter of principle, I refuse to do additional work for them to "make it work". Do you ever have to think how your operating system works when you ask it to copy a file or how your phone works when you answer a call?

Doesn't matter, use the tool that makes it easy and get less context, or realize the limitations and don't fall for marketing of ease and get more context. You don't want to do additional work beyond what they sold you on, out of principle. But you are getting much less effective use by being irrationally ornery.

Lots of things don't match marketing.
And the people who can actually answer have been driven away by the money-chasers.

how is it possible? what size and complexity projects are you working with?

I have integrated llms into my dev workflow as much as possible and they are just not capable of doing all that much.
If you don't mind - based on what will this "paper" become a classic? Was it published in a well known scientific magazine, after undergoing a stringent peer-review process, because it is setting up and proving a new scientific hypothesis? Because this is what scientific papers look like. I struggle to identify any of those characteristics, except for being dense and hard to read, but that's more of a correlation, isn't it?
Broader than that, it’s critical thinking skills. Using search and LLMs requires analyzing the results and being able to separate what is accurate and useful from what isn’t.
Is the software open-source? If so, can you share a link to it?
"Much" and "many" are not interchangeable:

These sound obviously incorrect.

Do not obey in advance.
It’s harder to do in a Western world. For example say that it’s cheaper to live in Indiana. The cost of moving from Texas, if you do it yourself, is about $4k. For many people that is considered too expensive. As a result they stay in place, which causes them to mentally collapse into anxiety or depression.

Another issue is the trend of return to office. There were people who moved to less expensive locations. They are now being required to come into the office. One guy with whom I work is spending about $1k a month on gas to do this. So now he is effectively losing $12k per year to keep his job. If he moves, he loses his lifestyle and his 3% mortgage. This puts him in a tight spot.

Combined with more of the same from the Democrats where they pick the candidate and preordain them. These are the things that tanked her chances.

Hillary wasn't super popular, but what really killed her was being forced on us from the political Democratic establishment.

It's been since Obama that the Democrats actually had a candidate that people liked. I do not understand this strategy.

Looking at your privacy policy - it appears that your statements are about protecting the account info (the firm or person who has signed up for Signly)

As a very experienced programmer who has experimented with using AI: I can't imagine trying to do anything useful with it if you don't understand the code it generates.

Even if the code it generates works, what happens when you need to change it and no longer have that AI conversation and its state available?

Then there's the security nightmare this is going to be. All this slop-code generated by ignorant hustlers with AIs is going to be a hellscape of security bugs.
USA/Greenland was never a land dispute.

In fact, people thought it was a joke all the times he mentioned it.

So if it does become a real thing, it sets the stage for new “disputes” to be created, which aren’t actually disputes but larger countries deciding to take over other countries’ land simply because they can.

Batteries are not the only storage technology, nor is it the case that only one storage technology would be used, as different ones are best for different storage timespans. Diurnal would be batteries, but seasonal storage would likely be something different (like e-fuels).

Whether it is "disruptive" doesn't matter. What matters is cost. Renewables + storage look to be much cheaper than nuclear in the best places and at least competitive in the worst.

There was an insightful post a little while ago about people liking nuclear because of a bias toward simple solutions. It reminded me of the adage "for any problem, there's a solution that's simple, straightforward... and wrong." The economy is quite willing to optimize for more complex solutions if this ends up saving money. "Keep it simple, stupid (KISS)" doesn't apply at the level of the whole economy.

China's population is already declining, and that decline is accelerating. They are projected to lose 100M people by 2050, and 500M by 2075. Given their aversion to immigration, demand will continue to plummet for those unoccupied properties. This is clearly the end of their property boom. This was one of the last options left to ordinary Chinese to build wealth. Their stock market is little more than a slot machine.

It is encouraging what we see with their EV boom, but a car industry alone cannot sustain a nation with declining population levels. China has sold so few technological innovations over the decades that I do not see them innovating their way out of this.

I don't trust Sabine Hossenfelder on this. Even I as a computer scientist/programmer with just some old experience from my master courses towards AI and ML, I know much more than her about how the things work.

She became more of an influencer than a scientist. And that is nothing wrong with that unless she doesn't try to pose as an authority on subjects she doesn't have a clue. It's OK to have an opinion as an outsider but it's not OK to pretend you are right and that you are an expert on every scientific or technical subject that happens to make you want to make a tweet about.

"They continue to fabricate links, references, and quotes, like they did from day one." - "I ask them to give me a source for an alleged quote, I click on the link, it returns a 404 error."

Why have these companies not manually engineered out a problem like this by now? Just do a check to make sure links are real. That's pretty unimpressive to me.

There are no fabricated links, references, or quotes, in OpenAI's GPT 4.5 + Deep Research.

It's unfortunate the cost of a Deep Research bespoke white paper is so high. That mode is phenomenal for pre-work domain research. You get an analyst's two week writeup in under 20 minutes, for the low cost of $200/month (though I've seen estimates that white paper cost OpenAI over USD 3000 to produce for you, which explains the monthly limits).

You still need to be a domain expert to make use of this, just as you need to be to make use of an analyst. Both the analyst and Deep Research can generate flawed writeups with similar misunderstandings: mis-synthesizing, misapplication, or missing inclusion of some essential.

Neither analyst nor LLM is a substitute for mastery.

> I'm not clear why quotes prevent parallel processing?

Because of the "non-local" effect of quotes, you can't just jump into the middle of a file and start reading it, because you can't tell whether you're inside a quoted section or not. If (big if) you know something about the structure of the data, you might be able to guess. So that's why I said "tricky" instead of "impossible".

Contrast to my escaping-only strategy, where you can jump into the middle of a file and fully understand your context by looking one char on either side.

> Do you really have a use case where reading itself is the performance bottleneck and you need to parallelize reading by starting at different file offsets? I know that multiple processes can read faster from certain high-end SSD's than just one process, but that's a level of performance optimization that is pretty extraordinary. I'm kind of curious what it is!

I used to be a data analyst at a management consultancy. A very common scenario would be that I'm handed a multi-gigabyte CSV and told to "import the data". No spec, no schema, no nothing. Data loss or corruption is totally unacceptable, because we were highly risk-sensitive. So step 1 is to go through the whole thing trying to determine field types by testing them. Does column 3 always parse as a timestamp? Great, we'll call it a timestamp. That kind of thing. In that case, it's great to be able to parallelise reading.

> And data corruption is data corruption

Agreed, but I prefer data corruption which messes up one field, not data corruption which makes my importer sit there for 5 minutes thinking the whole file is a 10GB string value and then throw "EOF in quoted field".

The most likely age to receive an inheritance is about 60.

At 60 an inheritance doesn’t move the needle much.

You may wish to contact compliance and inform them that they are violating legal requirements in the UK (assuming that this is, y'know...true). Without blustering or yelling (getting angry makes you look less credible), simply state the government agency that accepts complaints, and state that you will file a complaint if the matter is not resolved. If there are laws that mandate how fast Google is required to resolve the issue, it is worth mentioning them.

In general, support has the incentive of making tickets go away. Compliance has the incentive of making sure the company doesn't run afoul of regulators. Compliance is also much much more powerful at an organizational level.
