>Personally speaking, I've never cared whether someone "validates" my emotions (and I often view such attempts as a bit patronizing or insincere). There's a problem to be solved, so let's attempt to solve it or at least compromise in good faith. The resolution to the problem is the most likely way to elicit positive emotions from me anyway.

I assume ads don't work on you either, right? You buy purely based on a logical calculus of requirements and whether a product is fit-for-purpose. I assume the obverse must also be true; if they invalidate your emotions it doesn't affect you either?

Imagine you lose your parking receipt and have to pay for the whole day. An attendant that says:
"You were stupid for losing your ticket. It says in 1-ft letters at the entrance 'lost tickets pay full day.' We don't make exceptions for people that can't keep track of their stuff."

vs

"Damn dude, that sucks. You're not the only one today -- previous woman had her wallet stolen as well. Sorry I can't help, boss doesn't let me make exceptions"

Of course people validate other's emotions. You are affected by it. You only notice when someone does it poorly. Your perception of whether an exchange in which you had to compromise went well or not is highly colored by the attitude and "fluff" that the other person presented.
Curious if there is available math to show the gain scale properties of this technique across the spectrum -- in other words its frequency response. The system doesn't appear to be LTI so I don't believe we can utilize the Z-transform to do this. Phase response would also be important as well.
One task I do is I feed the models the text of entire books, and ask them various questions about it ('what happened in Chapter 4', 'what did character X do in the book' etc.).

GPT 4.1 is the first model that has provided a human-quality answer to these questions. It seems to be the first model that can follow plotlines, and character motivations accurately.

I'd say since text processing is a very important use case for LLMs, that's quite noteworthy.
It's roughly 40 min per workday over a typical year. That's a bit high but not unreasonably so.
In-person, people surround themselves in echo chambers, or as I like to call them, "friends". They're amendable to good faith discussions because they already mostly agree.

And, clearly, you must not have any insane MAGA family. I've tried to convince some family members that the Covid Vaccine isn't what gave me cancer, and it's like talking to brick wall. In their eyes, my cancer is my own fault because I pray to Fauci or something and this is just retribution.

Okay, some people are legitimately just not aligned with reality. I'm not calling them insane to be mean, I think they are actually, literally, insane. I don't know what happened to them.
The "barefoot developers" link that they cite as an inspiration is heavily steeped in AI bullshit ("First, that language models will create a golden age of local, home-cooked software and barefoot developers.").
That's one way of seeing it, I guess.

"virus" implies something harmful, a disease. I refrain from borrowing that term because, as I said, I don't know if it merits being associated with something bad.

Since we are here on a techie forum, I could have used a term like "cobtinously self-applying cultural diff patch". Got it?

What it really reminds me of is the story about the East India Company and the tulip selling rise, crisis and subsequent crash.

But that's because I thought too much about words and was "hit in the head" with a lot of wordplay that made me create a box inside my head that looks at language and history in a weird way.

These ideas about cultural diseases, treatments, biology comparisons... to me, sound dumb. Like if someone watched too many movies and is trying too hard to be funny. This is not for me, it goes on the weird box.

It seems people like the weird box stuff. Maybe I should charge very high prices for it. You know what? Let's make it so. Tapping into my weird head box incurs terrible cultural charges that must be payed.
Depending on how work was divided up, it doesn’t seem like the photographer of Jack Nicholson would necessarily know where the image Nicholson was superimposed on came from, so I don’t blame them for not checking with him first.
Then you have issue with reading comprehension. The whole point of the discussion was this:

"The time to do this was about a decade ago. Apps, open formats, open USB protocols, open wifi / bluetooth protocols, and semi-open firmware (with a few proprietary blobs for color processing, likely) would have led things down a very different trajectory."

And the rest of your posts also misquote what I said and, ironically, just as often, what you said. There are also minor technical errors: diffraction limits are basic physics. It's a simple relationship between (a) the radius of the circle of confusion (in units of angle); (2) the frequency of light (in linear units, typically nanometers); and (3) the radius of the aperture (in linear units, typically mm). There is no voodoo with "sensor size, pixel pitch, and the lens optics." Most of your post is taking statements like a basic rule-of-thumb of what you need for decent photos and exaggerating to statements like "diffraction doesn't affect sharpness." Of course it's easy to beat up a statement if you misquote it. That's called a strawman.

So I think I'm done here. Give me your downvote, and I'll argue somewhere else.
He has it setup to charge whenever he is not charging his phone. So, it's charging during the day and being used at night most likely. I have friends that have used battery operated lights where there aren't enough outlets or to avoid a cord to trip over.
I printed out an application form and had it delivered to a physical drop box at the Indian Railways office (they don’t accept email) via Blinkit (Indian quick commerce app, which does print+delivery in 10 minutes.).
idk if I agree, it feels genuine enough to me, plus you can self-host so it's not like they're just trying to own your content.
You can quote statistics to show that "inequality is the same", but that's obviously not the case. To wit, Bill Gates became the richest person in the '90s with wealth of $13 billion. There are now 10 people with more than $100 billion each. Meanwhile inflation since 1990 has been only 2.5x.

The richest individuals have an order of magnitude more wealth, and you can't say this is inconsequential when the richest person in the world (net worth $300b+) is actively leading the effort to dismantle US government institutions.
We don't have that. We have functionally unlimited times now. Publishing something new today puts you at risk of litigation from existing rights-holders.

I don't believe it's morally right to license music but, if I did, I'd look at the climate of lawsuits in the the last 10-15 years and conclude that the risks might outweigh the potential rewards.
The ones I’ve seen sell mostly phones and toys now. They might have a very small selection of components in a corner.
Given the downdittles: I mention two leaders at the end and am not referring to Trump for either.

As someone who loves to converse with either side, it's more often one side than the other that will listen to reason, and argue outside of logical fallacies.

I get vastly more violent threats/lame insults from one side.

I get an overwhelming amount of definition problems from one side. Which are easily solved using any dictionary (though this is becoming less true)

I get things like "True X, Y, Z or Proper X, Y, Z" overwhelmingly from one side.

And I get vastly more conspiracy theories not grounded in any reality from one side.

I know of many people from both sides that hold disgusting views such as: I want to do X,Y,Z but am mad if anyone else does this exact thing to me. Every one of these people do so on protected grounds (in Government) of one form or another.

Recently, I have noted people who scream at a leader and bootlick another while claiming each are of the other's style of governance. It's quite remarkable.
My strong suspicion is someone misclicked a select box in a form somewhere.
It will basically be like the rise of indie games. Every now and again you get something like Among Us which is low quality but good enough to be enjoyable and with the right combination of luck and timing it becomes insanely popular.
I've finally lived long enough to both remember when Radio Shack was mocked as low-quality, staffed by teens who knew nothing... and now to watch that same company given a hagiography.

"It was the place to go if you needed..." sounds a lot better than, "It was often the only game in town, and woeful at that," I guess. I still remember them trying to sell Monster cables for amounts of money that were downright comical.
Most of us have no idea what movies we want. The most delightful films are a total surprise (other than the drones who watch every Marvel film of course).
First time I visited Norway back in 2018, I remember watching it on TV. I had no idea what was going on, there was just a bunch of moose standing next to a river and it appeared to be broadcast live. I can honestly say it was mesmerizing and I could not stop watching, even though nothing at all was happening.
Someone should study whether that statement is disproportionately included by authors with names later on in the alphabet.
> He also accused the European Commission of “protectionism” and an “anti-American” attitude.

Says someone working for a government that’s just introduced protectionist tariffs.

Hypocrites.
So you support deceptive messaging because... your Nazi fan-fic justifies it somehow? Or is your argument that, if you're able to level any vague, hand-wavy allegation against someone, you should feel free to deceive at will?

Call me crazy but staking out a pro-deception stance just seems counter productive.
Sad to see that the last two in Orlando are dead now too.

I miss Radio Shack, particularly when they were a bit more "component based". As a general electronics store, they were almost always strictly worse than any of the big box stores, but if you needed something like a resistor or individual LEDs, it was great to be able to be able to drive over there and find something. I live in NYC now, and fortunately we still have Micro Center which is still fun, though I do worry that it might go the way of Fry's Electronics soon enough.

I understand it, it's really hard to compete with Amazon in today's environment, and I'm not judging anyone for using Amazon instead of buying from a store, I buy online too, and fundamentally these are for-profit businesses and I don't feel any obligation to give them charity.

Still, seeing Radio Shack and Fry's dying does make me a little sad. When I first moved to Dallas, one of my favorite things to do on the weekend was go to Fry's, look around the store, and buy a cheap DVD of some anime that I hadn't heard of.
Me, for one. As a person with negative free time this sounds like exactly what I need.
thanks for bringing this up, and totally understand the concern. we are committed to security, and we never write/access your code without your action--the only reason that setting is necessary is so that you can merge/1-click commit suggestions from the AI directly from the code suggestions it's posted.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of research funding, and quite frankly repeating it without even basic research borders on negligence.

Universities use indirect funds for maintaining facilities, the shared equipment, bulk purchases of materials, staff for things like cleaning and disposal. It is pivotal that these funds are available in the right amount or research physically cannot happen despite being "indirect" (due merely to the legal definition of the word). And these rates are aggressively negotiated beforehand.

Can university administration be trimmed? Can their heads be paid less? Of course. But the idea that that's going to happen is absurd. If you want to stop that, you make laws and regulations. If you want to stop the science, you gut the financial viability of research.
The logic "gen AI is theft" is pretty careless. Let's say I use gen-AI to identify a skin sore, and seek appropriate treatment. Who's copyright was being violated? How about if I ask it to make a story where my kid is a protagonist? In fact the more I put into a prompt, the less it looks like anything in the training set, the longer the discussion, the greater the divergence.
Yeah, I'm one of those commenters. I do believe its a genuine project made by someone who cares with the intention to make something lovely for the world. I believe the people who are making this are good people.

Its just that the marketing copy has some of the breathless silicon valley tone and organizational structure to it like its selling a product which grates against the quirky, personal, community-first vibes of indieweb.

And hell yeah! Any excuse to put something fun on the web is a good one, excited to see what you make :)
How are you planning on making enough money to cover server costs etc? eg to avoid another Cohost style catastrophe.
The mainstream assessment is deindustrialization is inevitable in the western world because all kinds of legitimate reasons: the cost is too high. The talent pool is too small. We are left behind and lack critical IPs and infrastructures. People are too lazy/stupid/uneducated/self righteous/<your favorite derogatory phrases>. We can hang on to our high-value service industry.

What I don't understand is, why would people even want the US dollar and its service industry if we can't produce sufficiently any more? And what about future conflicts in the world? The US can't even produce enough saline solution or disinfectant wipes, let along active pharmaceutical ingredients? Did people see what China goods we tariff on? We tariff China for advanced materials, electronics, machineries, and etc, yet China tariffs on our raw materials and agricultural goods. And we think the US can maintain its wealth by behaving like a colony of China? When there's a conflict between us and China, what do we do? Beg them for the life essentials? And we keep yelling to punish Russia and help Ukraine to win the war and we should, but with what? We can't even out produce artillery shells faster and cheaper than Russia, or drones faster and cheaper than China. Admiral Yamamoto used to say that he saw so many factories and chimneys in Philadelphia that he knew that those industries could turn into efficient war machines if Japan ever declared war on the US. Would he be able to say the same today?

As for what we can, wasn't the US a manufacturing powerhouse until early 2000s? BTW, the US is still a manufacturing powerhouse in some sectors, but we just can't make things cheap enough with good quality because we pretty much destroyed our light industry. Didn't China have nothing and it was heavy investment from the western world that helped China grow so fast and so rapidly? Then, why can't we shift investment back to the US and bring our key industries back? We kept talking about technical difficulties, yet we ignore the necessity of the matter.

You can have social stability and fast moving economy. Israel has tons of startups and social stability with a social safety net. It can be done.
What is "essential stuff" to you?
> Tarring everyone who dislikes illegal immigration and believes the "soft" solutions have utterly failed as a bigot is inaccurate and unproductive.

I wouldn't do that myself but when you refer to people as "illegals" you make it much more difficult.
The tricky part is the goal is another tax cut.

Right now, after all of the other tax cuts, our budget deficit is slightly larger than the US discretionary budget.

Which means that, even if DOGE cut everything, there's still no way to close the deficit without raising taxes.

Enter the tariffs.
> I'm not one of our founders and REALLY wouldn't want to be publicly held accountable for policies or commitments

I don't mean to phrase this in a hostile way, but then what is even the point of posting? Your word means nothing. You are not in a position to promise anything. You could wake up one morning and find yourself laid off with all your accounts terminated.

And the fact that a Cohere employee is playing PR trying to deflect this issue gives me less faith, not more.
I don't understand why you forgot to double check you didn't miss anything before posting: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/09/...
That’s quite the leap
LLMs are just tools, run by human beings who are naturally members of the public. There is no confusion or ambiguity here.
If you use a reasonable definition of rich like 150k for individuals then yes it could work. But that's not what people actually mean when they say it.
This is why I have a bunch of stock in Shopify. It's slowly started rolling out discovery features in its Shop app that federates its stores. I try to limit my use on Amazon to things I know can't be faked and things that are so much cheaper that I can deal with it being fake. My purchasing trends have definitely moved toward the edges - aliexpress for chinese stuff (that would normally be on Amazon) and Shopify for "buy it for life" stuff.
> and is, instead, doing the same things "the other guys" did, just in the opposite direction.

I don't think this is a fair characterization at all. Below, is copied from an NYT article [https://archive.ph/ONxlX]. Which of these did previous administrations do?

===

Some of the actions that the Trump administration demanded of Harvard were:

* Conducting plagiarism checks on all current and prospective faculty members.

* Sharing all its hiring data with the Trump administration, and subjecting itself to audits of its hiring while “reforms are being implemented,” at least through 2028.

* Providing all admissions data to the federal government, including information on both rejected and admitted applicants, sorted by race, national origin, grade-point average and performance on standardized tests.

* Immediately shutting down any programming related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

* Overhauling academic programs that the Trump administration says have “egregious records on antisemitism,” including placing certain departments and programs under an external audit. The list includes the Divinity School, the Graduate School of Education, the School of Public Health and the Medical School, among many others.
Agreed, it feels like something someone who had never had a conversation with a human being that strongly disagreed with them would write. If it was an introspective question meant to question the framing of trying to convince people through arguments in general, it might be meaningful.

I think it's fair to try to establish if the person you're talking to has an unfalsifiable belief and walk away if you're arguing with a brick wall, but that's definitely not the way to go about it.

Strawmanning the alternative as CGI with shell scripts really makes the entire post that much weaker.

> nobody refers to except in these arguments.

Be the change, maybe? People use REST like this because people write articles like this which uses REST this way.
"To make Brain Flakes, you melt plastic and force it into shaped metal molds. Were we to import the machines and molds needed to do this, it would work for a little while, but as soon as one of those molds broke, we’d be in trouble, because there are almost no moldmakers left in the United States. The people who knew how to build and repair molds have either passed away or are long retired. In the event of a problem, we’d have to order a new mold from China or send ours back, shutting down production for months."

This is what I have the most problem with. As I said above:

"For instance, there are plenty of tool and die makers left in the USA, plenty of injection molding machines. I have personally seen them and met the tool and die makers as well as the machines making the molds.".

The reality is that there are many injection molding machines in the USA making weapons, medical devices, electronics enclosures and connectors, car and airplane parts, and other high margin products, not kids toys. And it's a lie to say that tooling, molds, and tool and die makers and shops aren't widely available in the States. They just don't want to pay more for them, and are therefore disseminating propaganda to the contrary.

And, I have also spent time in China, I have toured the factories there, I know what I am talking about as well.
Frontier AI Models Still Fail at Basic Physical Tasks
> People with a conscience and an ounce of empathy will always value creative work if they themselves intend to make a profit with it in someway.

Is that empathy, or just self interest / good business? If I need a product I can't produce for my business to make a profit I'd better be giving my supplier a cut, lest they stop supplying me. With intangibles it's more fluid than with good bound by scarcity, but novel expressions of creativity become not-novel pretty quickly and, inevitably, you're going to need to go back to the well.

That is a good point, but the fact that it is a compromise should be communicated with the child, so it doesn't feel like an exchange.
Yeah, I'm moving away from it too. I loved everything about Notion 3 years ago and nothing about it now.

I love Obsidian and I really wish there was an enterprise-level hosting option for it.
Reading "The Linux Programming Interface" book helped me land my current job! I was able to have a deep discussion on file handling thanks to that chapter.
> I don't think America cares much about democracy anymore, only dollars.

I don't think it's a good idea to assign Trump's beliefs, or those of his administration, to America as a whole. Any more, frankly, than it's a good idea to assign those of his opposition to the country as a whole.
You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. The power of the internet and mass media is that you can publish to the whole world, and make something public to billions of people. With that power comes side effects, such as, obviously, billions of people being able to privately do whatever they want with the information you, you know, published.

“public, but, no, not like that” isn’t a thing and no technological measure can make it a thing.
>I don't see the advantages of having JSX representation of JSON objects on the server side.

That's not what we're building towards. I'm just using "breaking JSON apart" as a narrative device to show that Server Components componentize the UI-specific parts of the API logic (which previously lived in ad-hoc ViewModel-like parts of REST responses, or in the client codebase where REST responses get massaged).

The change-up happens at this point in the article: https://overreacted.io/jsx-over-the-wire/#viewmodels-revisit...

If you're interested in the "final" code, it's here: https://overreacted.io/jsx-over-the-wire/#final-code-slightl....

It blends the previous "JSON-building" into components.
To quote Nikita Bier, never underestimate how many people just want to watch Netflix and die.
