I'm building something similar. One area I see being a massive problem is separating 'brands' and 'products', especially with companies that do a really poor job of delineating between their different brands over time.

For example 'Quickbooks', 'Quickbooks Online', 'Intuit Quickbooks' all show up occasionally when you ask about 'Accounting software'.

As an aside 'Accounting Software', I'm not seeing QBO in the top 3, and Freshbooks in number one. I have never had that result whenever I've run reports.

LLMs did scale with huge data, symbolic AI did not. So why? [1]

Neural networks, not LLMs in particular, were just about the simplest thing that could scale - they scaled and everything else has been fine-tuning. Symbolic AI basically begins with existing mathematical models of reality and of human reason and indeed didn't scale.

The problem imo is: The standard way mathematical modeling works[2] is you have a triple of <data, model-of-data, math-formalism>. The math formalism characterizes what the data could be, how data diverges from reality etc. The trouble is that the math formalism really doesn't scale even if a given model scales[3]. So even if you were to start plugging numbers into some other math model and get a reality-approximation like an LLM, it would be a black box like an LLM because the meta-information would be just as opaque.

Consider the way Judea Pearl rejected confidence intervals and claimed probabilities were needed as the building blocks for approximate reasoning systems. But a look at human beings, animals or LLMs shows that things that "deal with reality" don't have and couldn't access to "real" probabilities.

I'd just offer that I believe that for a model to scale, the vast majority of it's parameters would have to be mathematically meaningless to us. And that's for the above reasons.

[1]. Really key point, imo
[2]. That innclude symbolic and probabilistic model "at the end of the day"
[3]. Contrast the simplicity of plugging data into a regression model versus the multitudes of approaches explaining regression and loss/error functions etc.
I mean how CF has advertises "unlimited bandwidth" and "unmetered DDOS protection" on their free and flat-rate paid plans, which abruptly turns into not-unlimited pay-per-gigabyte if they decide you're using them too much, but you're not allowed to know where that line is so you can plan around it. It's a fun surprise where they suddenly ask you to pay 10x more out of nowhere.

The market is absolutely delusional right now. It's not pricing in how devastating this general uncertainty is, nevermind the fact that massive tariff hikes are still in effect.

I have 4 pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes. The oldest pair is 6 or 7 years old. With some light care (conditioning / polishing) they've held up very well. To address another comment about comfort: They're quite uncomfortable at first. Over time the leather (and cork insoles) mold to your foot. Making them comfortable.

These are leather dress shoes though. As far as I know, this doesn't exist in the athletic shoe world. Considering the materials used in athletic shoes, I don't know how a "repairable" athletic shoe could exist without some serious re-engineering.
Do they also add "right?" all the time for no reason? Need that for an accurate rendering.
Wonder why they don't monitor the ZOG white nationalist types. Only those that offer opposition to Israel. Almost like it has nothing to do with antisemitism and is targeting anti Zionists.
Apparently not 100%. But they closed that little loophole. :-)
It's incomprehensible to most citizens of the US as well, which is why it's an important article by a major newspaper and we're discussing it.

There's some truth to that, but then the solution is to build more housing, not impose tariffs which only make houses and everything else less affordable.

Many reasons why this wouldn't be sufficient. Having a fall guy is a good example, doesn't allow for action against organization level willful fraud would be another. It basically slows down any sort of justice.

You should care because uncertainty leads to cancelled & deferred projects, which leads to reduced demand, which leads to reduced jobs.

If I don't know if Trump is literal or serious about re-shoring to normalize trade deficits, or its just a revenue gimmick, or if its all going to be delayed, or negotiated away ... am I moving any production back to the US? No.

My kid use to drop things and look down at them from his chair. I didn't understand what he was trying to do. I learned that it was his way of trying to understand how world works. That if he dropped something, will it remain there or disappear.

That contradicts this contradiction, unless there is another explanation.

I don't think you have lived experience to back that up. There are definitely people being turned away at customs in the US, and China has targeted nationals of other countries they have disputes with (e.g. during the Huawei daughter incident and putting two Canadians in jail for two years while she got house arrest in her mansion). And anyways, having your passport in a Beijing subway station is just the way things are now (never was needed before, but they random check all the time before I left in 2016).

Classic right wing playbook. Here they defunded immigration services and then called for a crisis because there was not enough space to put all asylum seekers and there was too great a backlog to get it all processed in time.
poor analogy since this implies that Trump has everyone's best interests in his heart
Absolutely true but it's worth noting this has only been done for a small fraction of marijuana crimes, and as far as I know not at all through the backdoor method commonly used (by all administrations) where they just prosecute otherwise legal gun ownership as "owned a gun plus owned weed" and backdoor it as a gun crime.
They are all opinion shows but Im sure its not that hard to find examples in the opposite vein on other channels where America is described as racist, white supremacist etc (all the left-wing tropes).

They weren't saying that all along. They were saying that tariffs are a tool that will be used to reindustrialize the USA.

Plan on relying less on the US market. Grow customers elsewhere.
This sounds like some marketing stunt so microsoft can claim to be the most widely deployed website in the world, mostly by virtue of it installing itself to every windoze 11 desktop like most malware/potentially unwanted programs (pup).

It wouldn't be the first time they pull some shenanigans like that such as when they paid GoDaddy to switch their web parking from Apache to IIS circa 2005, and suddenly IIS was the most-used web server across (mostly parked) domains on the internet overnight as their marketing team quickly disseminated.
"It’s the T-bills wot dun it."

That’s my read on why the U.S. just paused the global tariff hike to 10%.

From the beginning, I’ve believed the executive branch's real goal was to push down the yield on the 10-year Treasury. Why? Because Uncle Sam has to refinance a mountain of debt this year, and the cost of that depends heavily on Treasury yields — especially the 10-year. That’s the rate that sets the tone for everything from mortgages to corporate borrowing.

So they tried to spook markets. Introduce global tariffs. Stir up uncertainty. And it worked—at first. Yields dipped. Traders moved to Treasuries as a typical flight-to-safety.

But then something flipped.

Instead of being seen as a safe haven, U.S. debt itself started to look shaky. Maybe it was the deficit outlook, maybe the global response to tariffs — but whatever it was, yields started climbing. Fast.

At that point, the strategy backfired. The executive branch had no choice but to walk it back. So they paused the tariffs.

Because when your national budget depends on cheap debt, you can't afford a crisis of confidence in your bonds.
Not at all. I thought twice before discussing this because brazilian politics aren't the point of this thread. The fact is Brazil is facing a major crisis due to stupid fiscal policy. Government spending is high and taxes need to make up for it. They were stupid enough to increase taxes on fuels, thereby making everything more expensive.

This is a country with obscenely high interest rates, currently at over 14% per year. It's just ridiculous. And inflation is still hovering between 4% to 5% per year, just under pandemic levels. The solution is for the government to stop spending money. They don't want to do that, they want to increase taxes instead. As a result, we're at record breaking taxation levels, last year Brazil achieved its highest tax revenue since 1995.

The current administration spent the last two years crying about the central bank's high interest rates. I can't even fathom what'd happen to this country if they got what they wanted. Mercifully, central bank has some degree of autonomy from their stupidity. After a couple years they get to appoint the head of the central bank. It turned out even their own guy wasn't stupid enough to lower the rates.

I think the only reason they haven't taxed Pix yet is the fact Pix is too popular already. I have no doubt they're still gonna manage to increase revenue by cross referencing Pix data for tax purposes.

What are you getting at? What's the joke?
I was wondering how they avoid being swamped by analog noise in the lower ranges with such a high dynamic range.

I suppose they use different gains per DAC and map that to the respective dynamic ranges of the f32 signal?
Sure, but all of those you mentioned are part of a base OS.

I'm not sure what the fallacy is called, but you say we have an excess of X and then the fallacy is "we can't live without X".

Modern projects especially in the javascript realm have like 10K dependencies. Having one dependency in an Operating System(even though it may itself have their own dependencies) is a huuuuuuuuuge difference.

You can pay cash money to Windows or Red Hat and have either a company that owns all of the deps, or a company that vets all of the dependencies, distributes some cash through donations, and provides a sensible base package.

It may sound extreme, but you don't need much more than a Base OS. If you reaaallly want something else, you can check the OS official package repository. Downloading some third party code is what's extreme to me.
I'm not sure I see the behavior in the Gemini 2.0 Flash model's image output as a strength. It seems to me it has multiple output modes, one indeed being masked edits. But it also seems to have convolutional matrix edits (e.g. "make this image grayscale" looks practically like it's applying a Photoshop filter) and true latent space edits ("show me this scene 1 minute later" or "move the camera so it is above this scene, pointing down"). And it almost seems to me these are actually distinct modes, which seems like it's been a bit too hand engineered.

On the other hand, OpenAI's model, while it does seem to have some upscaling magic happening (which makes the outputs look a lot nicer than the ones from Gemini FWIW), also seems to perform all its edits entirely in latent space (hence it's easy to see things degrade at a conceptual level such as texture, rotation, position, etc.) But this is a sign that its latent space mode is solid enough to always use, while with Gemini 2.0 Flash I get the feeling when it is used, it's just not performing as well.
Permanent damage has been done to our relationships with countries that have always been our allies.

Permanent damage has to our economic markets, since everyone now knows that everything can change on the whim of a single man.

Permanent damage has been done to any reputation we've had as a supporter of democracy worldwide now that we've abandoned our support of Ukraine.

Permanent damage has been done to our own faith in our country. Any pride I had in our values and democracy has slipped away, now I know that they were all illusions.

This might be what you mean, but for anyone reading -- the point of Simon's article is the whole agent and all of its tools have to be considered part of the same sandbox, and the same security boundary. You can't sandbox MCPs individually, you have to sandbox the whole system together.

Specifically the core design principal is you have to be comfortable with any possible combination of things your agent can do with its tools, not only the combination you ask for.

If your agent can search the web and can access your WhatsApp account, then you can ask it to search for something and text you the results -- cool. But there's some possible search result that would take over its brain and make it post your WhatsApp history to the web. So probably you should not set up an agent that has MCPs to both search the web and read your WhatsApp history. And in general many plausibly useful combinations of tools to provide to agents are unsafe together.
Ever since the tariffs were first announced I've been trying to understand if there is any method to the madness.

There is sound reasoning behind the tariffs, and I can at least understand the motivations. However, to execute the vision behind the tariffs would be tantamount to severely contracting the American economy, and the voters would never agree to go hungry in order to militarily independent.

He knows what he's doing, but him and his ilk are openly lying to the American public because no one would ever agree to it.
Trump was always the butt of businessman jokes. He was never "america's darling". He always wanted to be in the club, to be seen as an example of business excellence, but the actual examples are generally pretty quiet and keep to themselves.

This rationale can explain many actions he’s taken. Is it reckless? Risky? For sure. Does it work? It has in the past, let’s hope it does for the global financial system, for everyone’s sake.

According to a sibling top-comment this is not a decision to not pursue cryptocurrency fraud altogether, just to leave some such crimes to other agencies in the federal government. That is, if the SEC wants charges filed against some person, then presumably the DOJ will prosecute, but the DOJ will not prosecute w/o the SEC (or other regulator) requesting it.

>Too early for the people fundraising to build US manufacturing capabilities.

It's a good idea to hedge against future trade uncertainties.

After COVID some Danish and German companies began looking for non-Chinese alternatives for electronics manufacturing. The only area where China is the absolute better alternative is PCB manufacturing without mounting chips/components. The Danish and German companies get tens of thousands of these bare PCBs from China. The chips/components are from Taiwan, South Korea, the US, Italy, and Germany and can be cost effectively mounted in Denmark and Germany.

Why not let the market take care of it? It's cheaper to buy things from China then make them yourself. When that changes, production will naturally move to the next best place. I don't see the issue.

This is a hilarious assertion. Their stated objectives have been all over the map, so any outcome can fit at least some of their statements.

Admin proxies have said tariffs are to pay for tax cuts, they've stated they're intended to bring back manufacturing jobs, they've stated we should prepare for a lengthy trade war and accept the higher prices like men, and while some proxies have said this is a negotiation tactic others have stated unequivocally that this is not a negotiation tactic.

Bold assertions like yours are easy to make with the benefit of hindsight. What do you predict tariff rates to be in a week? A month? A year?
> US voters disagree.

Some polls would disagree with your assessment:

> A Wall Street Journal poll released Friday[1] found 52 percent disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy, compared to 44 percent who approve. The disapproval is 12 points higher than the 40 percent who said in October that they had an unfavorable view of Trump’s economic plans.

> Pollsters found 54 percent said they oppose placing tariffs on imported goods, while the percentage who said tariffs will raise prices on consumer products rose from 68 percent in January to 75 percent in March.
