It should have followed the 5 and by passed the towns in the Central Valley. The republicans there felt that was a terrible idea and should instead go through where there was much more built out.

Have mostly heard this kind of talk before about the cannabis plant - by all indication it has existed alongside mankind for much of mankind’s history, seems uniquely suited to many of man’s needs, even practical ones like rope - grows easily alongside anywhere humans will typically habitate. It’s toxic to lots of other animals humans domesticate with, which is why it seems uniquely “targeting” humans as an evolutionary adaptation.
I'll make an excuse for PostgreSQL lacking that feature: it's a transactional relational database with extremely well understood performance characteristics and a reputation for robustly delivering new reliable features without breaking backwards compatibility.

They have added horizontal scalability in the form of built-in replication: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/high-availability.ht...

Adding sharding-style horizontal scaling to that while maintaining the characteristics of PostgreSQL that make it so popular is a very tall order. My suspicion is that handling sharded horizontal write scalability through external systems and extensions is a better architectural fit than trying to bake that into core.
Agreed, this has been happening since long before LLMs existed.

I did a quick search for the affiliate tag noted in the blog post, and found another Redditor complaining about that same affiliate tag, but from three other accounts[0].

My fascination is that, with LLMs, the line between obvious bot regurgitation and seemingly human posts is now much thinner.

The fact that the Reddit post was an affiliate link for Edward Bernays' Propaganda is just the cherry on top, in this case it's like selling ice to eskimos.

Moderation has become a real weak-point for reddit. They expect anonymous and unpaid volunteers to do the hard and thankless job of keeping large numbers of passionate strangers, malicious bots, trolls, etc. under control while being impartial, honest, etc.. In reality, their mods are usually either power-tripping, pushing their own agenda, or state-sponsored propagandists. There's absolutely no recourse if you see shady moderation going on. Reddit doesn't care so long as everybody keeps clicking.

I recently decided to take a break from reddit, and may yet make that break permanent. There is still some good stuff there, but it's getting rarer and harder to find in a sea of spam.
I was a hired early to a startup (my hiring manager was the CEO) that's now public and worth $10B+ that you've heard of. It took them over 10 years to go public, and I would have done just as well putting my money in FAANG, but with lower risk and more liquidity.

My only concern is pricing. It's gonna have to be about 50$ each way to be worth it in my opinion. You can get a flight to a fro for about 150$ and that's out an airport like burbank which is very low security and easy to navigate.
I read something similar on Yuval Harari's Homo Sapiens, where he suggests wheat domesticated humans not the other way around. An excerpt can be found here [1]. Whole essay is great but I especially liked this part:

Yup. Basically supply contraction puts people out of work, which requires lowering rates by selling bonds, but exporters under duress are also dumping their bonds, which means you need to print more money than you otherwise would to push rates down. Those dollars create inflationary pressure whose solution is raising rates. But you can’t because of the supply disruption. Basically, Trump and Musk have engineered stagflation.

The way I see it, the argument comes down to an assertion that as impressive as these technologies are, they are a local maximum that will always have some limitation that keeps it from feeling truly human (to us).

That's an assertion that has not been proven one way or the other. It's certainly true that progress has leveled off after an extraordinary climb, and most people would say it's still not a fully general intelligence yet. But we don't know if the next step requires incremental work or if it requires a radically different approach.

So it's just taking a stance on an unproven assertion rather than defining anything fundamental.
And the region between Beijing to Shanghai is fairly flat and densely populated (Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei), which makes it easier to justify and build out the associated infra, as plenty of other slower lines can also be run concurrently - specifically by connecting Tianjin (one of the most important cities in China)

Meanwhile, the only major population centers between NY and Chicago are Pittsburg and Columbus - both of whom combined have a fraction of the population that Jiagnsu or Shandong have.

Furthermore, land acquisition is different in a country like the US versus China. Mass expropriation or eminent domain of land is politically untenable in the US, but something that is easier to implement in China as a significant amount of land remains under local municipal ownership instead of private ownership.
Snapshot Fuzzing
One other trick I learned about and should warn others about - getting an offer for shares (an employee level %) where there is in fact no options pool and existing shares will be diluted for every new employee who joins the team. I got such an offer, and not only was this information not given to me until I asked about any events aside from funding rounds that would be dilutive, but it was presented as standard operating procedure.

Supervoting stock is absolutely a thing with companies. We’re not talking about that. We’re talking about start-up founders.
It made choices that turned out to be good in retrospect. And it's young enough that it hasn't turned into a stagnant bureaucracy yet.

Technology is not magic. If you can do something, others can do it as well, if they want. Established organizations often fail at that, because they don't want to be successful. They might want to be successful in principle, but in practice, the personal interests of the people in charge override the interests of the organization.

Wall Street pays cash. Trading firms pay cash. Cash is the best form of compensation because it's the most fungible*. If you really believe your employer's stock will double in value, you can take your cash bonus and buy shares of it. Of course if you're that confident in your market prediction power you're in the wrong line of work. Wall Street pays cash because it gives employees the power to invest it however they wish (read: no one knows the future so they invest in a diversified basket of assets).

The only downside of all cash compensation is it attracts mercenaries. Personally I find believers and missionaries more pleasant to work with.

* All else being equal, such as the payout schedule.

There’s still a lot to learn about how LLM’s do things. They could be doing it in either a deep or a shallow way (parroting information) depending on the task. It’s not something to be settled once and for all.

So what’s “dead?” Overconfidently assuming you can know how an LLM does something without actually investigating it.
Cool post. I'd be interested in seeing models likes this deployed to the satellites themselves.

Typically, data gathered from satellites needs to wait for the satellite to do a pass over a dedicated ground station before it can be processed, which is probably somewhere in the US. If you move the processing from the ground station to the satellite, then you 1. Don't have to transmit as much data, 2. Can transmit actionable intelligence much faster. It can be upwards of 90 minutes before a satellite passes over it's ground station. If you could get that down to a few seconds, I could see some serious applications in disaster response.

So far, LLM models have not demonstrated grasp on dual language phonetic jokes and false cognates.

Humans learn a second language very quickly, and false cognates that work on phonetics are the first steps in doing so, doesn't require a genius to understand.

I am yet to see an LLM that can demonstrate that. They can translate it, or repeat known false cognates, but can't come up with new ones on the spot.

If they do acquire that, we will come up with another creative example of what humans can do that machines can't.

This is the way. Options aren't really worth much for the rank and file startup employees after about 7-10 hires. That fraction of a percent is just not going to be life changing unless it's the next OpenAI or something. For very early employees it's different, but even for them some founders will assign far too little equity to really make a difference.
Early Wikipedia was pretty terrible in general and was even worse than Encarta relative to a printed encyclopedia.

Today it is better in terms of comprehensiveness but it is still poorly written compared to the work of professional writers and editors. In part because good writing is not valued and well-written passages get arbitrary edits from amateurs.

I’m not sure they can do that without breaching the contract. My employer pays for ChatGPT enterprise I use.

Another thing, OpenAI has very small amount of my data because they only have the stuff I entered to their web service.
