Put more simply, he's saying art is the product of, and the expression of, human emotion and experience.

Suffering just happens to be a common element of that, but it's not essential. Maybe because it most commonly produces good or great art. People generally don't make art about how their love life is perfectly fine, instead they express their experience of devastating heartbreak.

Nike Cave is just one strand of the artistic experience. Contrast say Kraftwerk, whose expression is about feelings of affinity with machines, technology and even interaction with transport infrastructure.

That's because his scam of charging $8k over the price of a Tesla for "self driving" was complete vaporware. It never worked and it never was going to work. I am disappointed I fell for it.

There should be a class action lawsuit against TESLA for everyone that purchased the $8k self driving "feature". We were all told it was "being rolled out". It was a total lie.

It looks like Koto supports type hints - not sure if these are checked at compile-time, run-time, or both.

> I don’t understand why… inferred typing is nearly as easy to use while being more robust.

Is it (nearly as easy to use)? Every static type system seems to have special cases and exceptions which are avoided by dynamic typing. I'd love to find one that's actually simple.

Also, it's definitely not nearly as easy to implement - which is important for a language being designed and built by a small team and targeting a lightweight runtime.
1. Google was, and still is in some developed countries, under fire for as much as summarising search results too much, so I think yes, the claims have legs.

> This would be separate from the contributory infringement claim if the model will output a copyrighted work verbatim

2. Commercial for-profit models were shown to do that, and (other legal arguments aside, such as model and/or its output being a derivative work, etc.) in some cases that was precisely the smoking gun for the lawsuit, if I recall correctly.

I have not seen any conclusive outcome, I suppose it will depend on jurisdiction.

I finally finished the 4th of Caro's books about LBJ, "The Passage of Power", largest part about how LBJ dealt with assassination. Over and over shows how LBJ made sure that nobody, meaning world leaders, citizens, others in government, and, relevant here, also those in the Kennedy administration would feel lost and want to resign. Caro made sure to note how this is a very difficult task and required LBJ to act differently than normal, but also how important it is to not have things go into disarray which easily happens.

Side note: Astounding notes of how LBJ was able to get bills that weren't going to get through congress with Kennedy were pushed through and made possible by Johnson. Quote to end a chapter by Richard Russell, southern complete segregationist and racist, says "You know, we could have beaten John Kennedy on civil rights, but we can't Johnson." Other side, Caro makes certain however about how the coming issues of Vietnam show the darker side of LBJ and not get fully caught up in his stability of power and civil rights successes.

Maybe these are all cases of those who want power are usually those who shouldn't have it.

Chinese companies have one massive advantage in aggregate: they know that from 2028 onwards they will be competing for a captive domestic market of >1.3B people. The CCP have declared as their industrial [service] policy that by the end of 2027, all Chinese companies must be using services exclusively from Chinese suppliers. The target ratio of domestic/foreign services is being ramped up year over year, so that by 2028 the base expectation is everyone to have 100% Chinese suppliers only.

From thereon, every exception must be justified to - and approved by - their respective politburo.

An obvious second-order effect is that there has been an explosion of Chinese B2B companies eager to get themselves established in the market. They know that in just a few years they can still sell their services outside China, but can expect very limited competition from non-Chinese companies. And inside the country, they have a population of ~4x of US to compete for.

This is a result I find completely unbelievable. ChatGPT sucks at poetry. It struggles at anything other than ABAB rhymes and can't get rhythm right even at the level of syllable count per line. It also has a distinctive passive voice that I personally find unbearable. If people are saying it's indistinguishable from or better than human-written poetry, that's either poor judgment or poor human-written poetry.
I don't think you're disagreeing with parent. I also think these features are not groundbreaking and should be considered table stakes for any new/sane language.
I totally agree. I think it's simply because most of these projects are pretty much one-man efforts and implementing static typing is a lot more effort than dynamic typing.
I somehow discovered F# by accident and it’s really an hidden gem.

Its ahead of its time in basically every aspect, it’s 100% compatible transparently with the whole C# ecosystem, it’s mature yet still evolving.

The type system is something I never saw before : creating types is so ergonomic and fast that you can create custom type for basically any value of your program without boilerplate if you want.

It’s really a refreshing language that anyone should try.

What I really love with it is that it’s hard to write (when you are learning it) but incredibly clear to read.

Even worse for these LLM-as-a-service companies i that the utility of open source LLMs largely comes down to the customization: you can get a lot of utility by restricting token output, varying temperature, and lightly retraining them for specific applications.

The use-cases for LLMs seem unexplored beyond basic chatbot stuff.
I'm curious what you have in mind when it comes to ways in which OCaml is insistent on being functional while F# isn't. After all, OCaml has mutable data structures, mutable record fields, for loops and so on. Is it just that more libraries assume immutability and use functional abstractions?
Without someone pointing the user to what the issue is, it's very difficult for the user to know it's an extension causing the problem.

You're missing the point. Imitation is the artistic act in question. The act of "creation". The question is what does the imitation bring to the viewer's experience of it? "Starry Night" brings a lot. A photocopy of it probably doesn't. What does the imitation create or express?

Nice! Now, if it only had type support.
I’m not Gen X but every time I read these types of stories I feel the same way. You have to adapt and grow or you die, simple as that. People that think learning ends when school ends annoy the hell out of me as do people who think it’s reasonable to expect a job to always exist, be the same, and pay the same.

Times change, you can change with it or be broken by it. It’s a choice and people who make the choice to not grow, and then complain about it, frustrate me.
Totally agreed. While not bad, this all expresses a somewhat familiar loneliness in the world from a successful tech guy like pg. I think it just happens here:

> The most impressive thing humans can do is to think. It may be the most impressive thing that can be done.

Something like this has been a marker for humanism since Pico della Mirandolla's famous "Oration on the Dignity of Man," for sure, if not Aristotle before that. But there is another viewpoint and set of frameworks that privileges the sociality and capacity for working together of humans. Isn't it, at least arguably, more impressive what we can build only together, rather than what any one of us has thought up at a given time? Ideas feel destined, individuals are products of their time; if I am not going to manifest some creative idea, it seems inevitable someone else will eventually. With the individual, it could always be otherwise, e.g., all the Einsteins who die in sweatshops, etc.

But what could not be otherwise is the brute force and cunning of people in general. Its much easier to replace a single CEO than it is an entire workforce.

I am not trying to be too damning, there are certainly worse formulations out there, and perhaps this is all a matter of emphasis. I also don't expect a guy like Paul Graham to be anything other than this kind of individualist; there is some necessary investment into the ego in order to live in the world he does, its fine. There is just the tinge of disappointment for me that this is still where we are at, when the world has such a surplus of ideas and deficit in solidarity.
Yes; for about $1000. Eg:

I have the ser-8 model, and can confirm everything works under Linux. This one has an 80 TOPS AI thing, since you asked about llms.
For IHM prediction, LSTM models and transformer models were trained for 100 epochs using the MIMIC-III and eICU datasets separately.

I might be blind, but I don't see any mention of loss. Did they stop at 100 because it was a nice round number or because it was a good place to stop?

The LSTM model they used had 7k trainable parameters, the CW-LSTM model 153k while the transformer model had 800k parameters (300k trainable parameters and 600k optimizer parameters as they say).

I don't follow the field close enough, but is it reasonable these models all converged at the same time, given the large difference in size?

They mention the transformer model outperforming the LSTMs, but I wonder if it could have done a lot better.
This drummer is sick of everyone ribbing him about not being a real musician, so he goes to the music shop to buy a proper instrument.

He says to the owner "I'd like to see some guitars, please".

The owner says "you must be a drummer".

The drummer says "How did you know that?".

The owner says "This is a fish shop".

The drummer wanders down the street and finally finds the music shop. He's in there for hours, overwhelmed by the choice, weighing up all the different options.

After much thought, he musters up all of his courage and says to the owner "I'd like the big red trumpet and that accordion over there".

The owner says "Well, you can have the fire extinguisher, but I can't sell you the radiator".

> Boxing is the process of converting a value type (on the stack, passed by value) to the type "object". When the runtime boxes a value type, it wraps the value inside a object instance and stores it on the managed heap (passed by reference). Unboxing extracts the value type from the object.

I’d say it’s required that you experience or feel something powerful. Suffering counts. Joy, love (no songs about that!), awe, anger, patriotic fervor, whatever.

I agree with him about the poetry produced by LLMs. I’ve tried it too. What comes out just feels like what it is: a mathematical average of other peoples poetry. It’s devoid of feeling.

The same thing happens when I try those music making LLMs. They’re great for doing meme level funny stuff. Like a friend of mine had one make a pouty country song about panels falling off someone’s cybertruck “like tears in my beer.”

There's more to business than tech. There's more to business than product.

The software behind Facebook as an app wasn't particularly unique, yet it eclipsed the competition. The same could be said for Google. Google didn't even have any real lock-in for years, but it still owned consumer mindshare, which gave it the vast majority of search traffic, which made it one of the most valuable companies in the world.

ChatGPT is in a similar position. The fact of the matter is, the average person knows what ChatGPT is and how to use it. Many hundreds of millions of normal people use ChatGPT weekly, and the number is growing. The same cannot be said of Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, or the various open source models.

And the gap is massive. It's not even close. It's like 400M weekly ChatGPT actives vs 30M monthly Claude actives.

So yes, the average Hacker News contrarian who thinks their tiny bubble represents the entire world might think that "nobody cares," in part because nobody they know cares, and in part because that assessment aligns with their own personal biases and desires.

But anyone who's been paying attention to how internet behemoths grow for the past 30 years certainly still cares about OpenAI.

I don't think populism is a good strategy, personally. It always devolves into a "us vs them" tribalism battle, where you're going against the "elite" but the "elite" is a moving target and not set in stone. Lots of conspiracies arise and you're less effective as a bloc.
