People don’t choose to have gender dysphoria, and you can’t judge someone for receiving healthcare to manage their well-being. If you want to make the argument that gender affirming care isn’t healthcare then kindly don’t respond because I’m not trying to invite hate and transphobia.

I really cannot be bothered to respond to the rest of this because you’re starting from a place of not being familiar enough with this topic at all for this to be a meaningful exchange. I really hope you make time to educate yourself better on this topic and do so with an open mind and compassion
> So the conjecture from the article that the mac mini isn't powerful enough is false

Not what the article says... and that doesn't follow anyways. The remote experience was terrible and the non-remote experience wasn't shown at all. How fast the Mac Mini theoretically is doesn't matter at all once you have such an insane bottleneck.

> And based on other comments here, this is a pretty common way to do things.

And? The industry is making a mistake by knee-capping its editors. It's going into seconds-per-frame territory in the video, it's as close to unusable as you can get. The article seemed to definitively prove its case that someone desperately needs to step back and look at what the requirements for these editors actually are, rather than ramming conflicting demands into each other to appease the anti-piracy insurance mobsters.

> Thinking and thought have no solid definition. We can't say Claude doesn't "think" because we don't even know what a human thinking actually is.

I did not assert:

Claude doesn't "think" ...

What I did assert was that the onus is on the author(s) which write articles/posts such as the one cited to support their assertion that their systems qualify as "thinking" (for any reasonable definition of same).

Short of author(s) doing so, there is little difference between unsupported claims of "LLM's thinking" and 19th century snake oil[0] salesmen.

Netflix was unique it basically was a repeat of the early days of cable.

When cable came about it had access to a massive library of content that people didn’t know how or well couldn’t effectively monetize due to the fact that you had only limited number of channels and thus didn’t knew what it was actually worth.

You used to have 100’s of channels on basic cable that all now could broadcast 50+ years of TV and film content.

Cable broke through the bandwidth limit which at the time was basically the number of channels available. Instead of the 20 or so channels that were possible on broadcast TV you had 100’s.

Once people realized what their library was worth and how relatively cheap it was to setup your own cable channel things turned and we got premium cable.

Streaming was the same it basically took out the time multiplexing out of the equation completely.

However as just like cable it was an unproven business model especially when Netflix came to the scene people weren’t sure if it was worth the investment so Netflix had effectively a monopoly on a vast library of content which it licensed for pennies on the dollar.

Once it proved that the model is viable all the content holders jumped on the bandwagon.

We will never have another Netflix moment as the most likely next big jump in entertainment is most likely bespoke or at least viewer tailored AI generated content.

I’m disappointed in the news media fails to mention the cascading effects of dental health. Yes, the primary and direct benefit of fluoride is to have a healthier mouth.

But having a healthy mouth is far from the end goal, imo. If your mouth is full of cavities you’re more likely to build up bacteria that cause downstream effects as serious as heart disease. Also if your mouth is routinely uncomfortable you may gravitate towards soft processed foods and away from healthy whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables.

I know water is not the only way to get fluoride into people. But these politicians who are trying to take it out of the water are just saying basically “it’s fine, let’s do nothing”. They’re not going to fluoridate the salt. They’re not going to run public health campaigns stressing the importance of regular brushing. They’re just willing to let people’s teeth rot to score points.

It’s disgusting, and no matter how you feel about the water you should be able to see that these people are not on your side.

I'm a Mormon, so I can answer these :)

I can't speak to how enforcement was in the past (I haven't researched it enough to say), but the way it currently stands is there is a yearly "tithing settlement". No tax documents are requested, all that our church has is the amount I donate. The bishop asks if I'm a full tithe payer, and accepts my answer.

Social pressure perhaps? But at least where I've been it's appeal to morality as taught in our canon.

Membership is not rescinded for not paying tithing, but a temple recommend requires being a full tithe payer (as reported by me).

"ChatGPT needs an array of GPUs per active user" - nit: you're exaggerating by a few orders of magnitude.

First, queries from users can be combined and fed into servers in batches so that hundreds of queries can be concurrently served by a single node. Second, people aren't on and asking ChatGPT questions every second of every day. I'd guess the median is more like ~single digit queries per day. Assuming average response length of 100 tokens and throughput of 50 tok/s at batch size 50, that's 25 QPS or 2.1M queries per day, or 420k users served per node at 5 queries per user per day.

Now, a single 8xH100 node is a lot more expensive than $5/mo, so you're directionally correct there, but I'd wager you can segment your market aggressively and serve heavily distilled/quantized models (small enough to fit onto single commodity GPUs, or even CPUs) to your free tier. Finally, this is subject to Huang's Law, which says every 2 years the cost of the same performance will more than halve.
> A pedantic conversation about what is and isn't true AI is not productive.

It's not at all 'pedantic' and while it's not productive to be having to rail against this stupid term, that is not the fault of the people pushing back at it. It's the fault of the hype merchants who have promoted it.

A key part of thinking independently is to be continually questioning the use of language.

> Any counter argument about "it's not real intelligence" or "it's just a next-token predictor" ignores the fact that LLMs have enabled us to do things with machines that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago.

No, it's entirely possible to appreciate that LLMs are a very powerful and useful technology while also pointing out that they are not 'intelligence' in any meaningful sense of the word and that labeling them 'artificial intelligence' is unhelpful to users and, ultimately, to the industry.

Well we could all wish that being or aiming to be helpful was a standard throughout the industry - sadly it in my experience, and even your notion of unhelpful is indicative of the behaviour that has become more the par present times in regard of services offered - especially by larger companies which have adapted to the cheapest means to deal with external complaints.

As you point out, we are in the dark as to just what the hosting services were, there's mention of a server but we can only speculate. However the company does point out in their TOS, the customer is responsible for backing up their own data - but saying that we (as non customers) also don't know just how easy they allow the customer to do that.

Getting to the nature of the complaint - Obviously any company such as Hostinger has to position to minimise legal threats as per what they ultimately are responsible for hosting, and would do so by setting up processes to monitor for threats, detection measures such as looking for file fingerprints, possibly by using A.I. in a clever means. They'd also have a process to handle external complaints from people or companies on the web.

I can sort of guess what might have started the ball rolling,[1] (complaints by various domain providers) but that in itself, is not a proof, just that someone did not address those whatever they were issues in a timely manner. The person within Hostinger tasked to deal with the external complaint, given an apparent non reversal a suspended domain with the customer apparently simply ignoring the fact they have a suspended domain; isn't probably going to go to great depths to call in the system admin to confirm. Now they might be wrong given the small number of edge cases where it's all just a mix up or some other honest problem ... how many domains and with how many different providers?

[1] >They denied us access to our own data, even for non-suspended domains
Serious question, because I'm not sure how I feel about it... should software with a server-side component that needs to keep working be counted as "buy once"? We've seen so many cases of companies going out of business or just deciding that it's no longer worth running these services, and leaving customers with no recourse.

An example from this list: LocalCan – https://buyoncesoftware.com/localcan – there's a server-side component (which is why ngrok its competitor is subscription based). If this component disappears the app ceases to function.

The flip side to this is that just because an app is entirely local doesn't mean it will work as the software around it gets updated (OSes etc), so if a company decides to stop supporting it, that too is useless in a way. It's not the same because running it on the machine you had when you bought it would still work, but that's not how we use computers in practice. Perhaps this is a different case because many of these "buy once" would charge for a major update like that anyway.
I don't think it is worth being dismissive.

I snorted when I got to the self-important haughtiness about reddit.

Why?

- You immediately recognized what they meant.

- They weren't advancing a claim, they were indicating a basis for their interrogative, likely to avoid seeming naive when claiming it out of nowhere.

- The article we're commenting on describes the same mechanism you claim differentiates iOS. ("register in advance...which applications...intends to query, and the list needs to be very short and motivated.")

- I've worked heavily on iOS and Android since 2009. As close to a graybeard as you can get in mobile. I'm searching, reaching, grasping for any sign you've done anything other than Google and link the first article you saw, and I can't find _any_. At all. But I don't think that's wrong. You're trying. Why is it wrong for the person you asked to try too?

- There's strong signs you didn't read the article we're commenting on.

- If you had, it is unlikely you would have said iOS was differentiated, then laid out the exact same mechanism described in the article.

- There's strong signs you didn't read the article you linked.

- On iOS you can register URL schemes in a plist, these aren't "external applications you intend to query" and the list does not have to be "very short and motivated"

I get cranky too, but, I am grateful I recognize it is very reddit to cry Reddit and edit it out, or delete.

From the context, what I gather was meant by the idea of "multiple Indias" was the socioeconomic status of different demographics in India and their app usage. The presence of specific apps gives a tell to which demographic they belong to.

In other words, the richest demographic used certain apps and was equated to folks in Mexico, followed by the less rich equated to folks in Indonesia and the poor to Sub-Saharan Africa.

If I remember correctly, main reason for forking was that Nim BDFL was writing lazy commit messages and old codebase was hard to navigate around. Some small part of community forked the language and trying to rewrite the compiler. According to readme they're not trying to replace Nim, but to create new language with Nim as base. Not sure how usable it's right now or will it ever be.

I also want to point out that Araq quickly took the criticism and his commits look a lot better now.

Also, core Nim team is currently working on their own rewrite of Nim compiler, called Nimony, that should evolve into Nim 3.

No, that's not what "web3" means. Web3 is all about the blockchain (or you can call it "distributed ledger technology" if you want to distance it from cryptocurrency scams).

Isn’t this easily solved by building in a container? Something a lot of people do anyway - I do it all the time because it insulates the build from changes in the underlying build agents - if the CI team decides to upgrade the build agent OS to a new release next month or migrate them to a different distro, building in a container (mostly) isolates my build job from that change, doing it directly on the agents exposes it to them

If we had perfect knowledge of what goes on in US politics, we would not be having this discussion. Instead, we are forced to parse information from different sources, and figure out what the reality most likely is in our head.

If you are unable to be unbiased (and you, and every other Republican are clearly not), towards information, the chances of you being able to predict reality accurately go way down.

It could very well be that US economy tanks so hard that we enter a pretty harsh recession, with lots of job loss, lack of social services we rely on, and so on. Its a possibility. I don't know that it will happen, but you also don't know it won't. The difference between you and me though is that because I don't blindly believe in one side being right and other side being wrong, I have a much better chance of seeing signs and taking respective action, like selling my house and moving out of the country before it does.

The TLDR of this is that you vote Republican because you are an idealogue. I vote Democrat because of rational decisions. If you want to continue doing this, its not my problem. The least I can hope for is if you do some critical analysis of yourself and figure out whether the things you believe are actually true or do they just sound good.
At risk of repeating myself, you're not anywhere close to grappling with how bad the situation has been on AMD cards. If they could consistently half-saturate the hardware they'd have a place in the AI revolution instead of being left out in the cold. The traditional achievement of an AMD card, in practice, is 0% hardware saturation because when they tried to multiply matricies then there was a good chance that the system would crash.

The type of commercial logic you're talking about isn't the important factor in the real world. 50% saturation with the option to fully saturate is amazing by AMDs standards and they have much bigger problems than this affecting people's buying decisions. If they had been able to achieve this standard in 2020 I would still be buying AMD.
A point of clarification: Biden pardoned his son because he was a three time convicted felon. Certainly not because of fears of Trump: he was convicted of these federal felonies while Biden was in office. He additionally pardoned the entire rest of his family (siblings and their spouses) too, from “anything and everything”, for reasons only he knows.

And unjust judges must be taken down by the people en masse. It is indeed our civic responsibility. But this particular case isn’t requiring anything extreme: the people are simply being encouraged to vote. This is actually among the most democratic of any judicial nomination process. Now, I’m guessing there’s some Iranian “Supreme Leader”-style vetting of the candidates; the ruling elite almost never give the people any actual power, but still. Upper echelons of democracy no doubt, hardly damaging democracy in any way.
