Ah, I see, I thought you meant linear within a thread. So you mean some kind of deterministic/transparent sorting (like "most recent activity"). I agree that would improve things.
Docker Engine uses a feature of the Linux kernel called namespaces. Alternate OSes require a Linux VM. As another commenter mentioned, apps like Orbstack, Podman Desktop, and Docker Desktop provide a facility to create such a VM.
They just pick the best performer out of the built-in modes they offer.

Interesting data point about the models behavior, but even moreso it's a recommendation of which way to configure the model for optimal performance.

I do consider this to be an apple-to-apples benchmark since they're evaluating real world performance.

... assuming they have TPM 2.0, which is far from a given.

> And Apple has poor backwards compatibility. You can't run 32-bit Intel binaries on anything newer than 10.14.

Fair point. Apple is indeed more aggressive on backwards compatibility in software... which is both a blessing and a curse. At the very least, it forces app developers to stay at least somewhat current, which means that Apple has far less legacy garbage to drag around - unlike Windows, where Microsoft went through at least half a dozen completely different programming frameworks and paradigms alone relating to "how to draw a window on the screen" which it has to support to this day simply because otherwise the complaints would be endless. And Linux is even worse in that regard.

> PPC has been out of the question for over 15 years. Meanwhile even on Windows on Arm you can run stuff made with XP or even Windows 98 in mind.

If you really have such old software and a need for it... run it on a VM.
This just sounds like cope. There is no evidence that ChatGPT has a retention problem. Quite the contrary.
My hunch is it would work somewhat, but poorly.

Languages encode similar human experiences, so their conceptual spaces probably have natural alignments even without translation examples. Words for common objects or emotions might cluster similarly.

But without seeing actual translations, a model would miss nuances, idioms, and how languages carve up meaning differently. It might grasp that "dog" and "perro" relate to similar concepts without knowing they're direct translations.
As far as I can tell, it hasn't actually done anything yet.

The article reads like the press releases you see from academic departments, where an earth shattering breakthrough is juuuuust around the corner. In every single department, of every single university.

It's more PR fluff than substance.
The entire JVM ecosystem is built around "we all know you're using an IDE, right?" I among most folks who use Kotlin are aware of the Community Edition of IntelliJ. The price isn't the thing keeping me from using it. 1. an employer _should_ be covering that cost. 2. The tools is truly outstanding and well worth the 500 bucks (I'd argue it's not worth 500 bucks a year but...) With all of that said, I really don't enjoy the IDE experience. I do tend to write Kotlin + Quarkus in NeoVim... but the LSP is a volunteer effort. Meanwhile Rust and Go's LSPs are incredibly.

My biggest complaint against the JVM community will alwyas be, "don't expect that we can auto-import... document where methods/constant/imported vars come from".
Wikipedia has this amazing chart of progress since 1975

He has clearly invested a lot of his identity in his work at Google on Chrome etc - essentially his life's work. To have it flushed down the toilet via some opaque corporate process, cost-saving a company that basically prints its own profit has a terrible psychological impact... irrespective of whether investing one's personal dreams in a faceless multinational corporation was a rational idea in the first place.

Honestly, it's not as if the PMC classes have truly transcended the confines of generating someone else's profit, pushing them offside is probably quite unhelpful for solidarity in the labor movement, but whatever.

Again: you guys are missing my point. Whether you like it or not, or agree or not, they had no choice. Being rich as hell only leaves them that much more vulnerable to Trump.

If your business relies on the USPS as much as Amazon's still does, you want to have a seat at the table when the administration decides how they're going to kneecap the USPS. Same with tariffs, when half of the crap they sell comes straight outta Shenzhen. See also NASA and Musk. Being locked out of the rooms where these decisions get made is potentially fatal for them.

> I do not know why doctors are so hesitant to link the immune system and mood disorders.

People who call themselves doctors — e.g. neurologists — generally aren't hesitant to do this. But psychiatrists — and even moreso, therapists — generally are. And psychiatrists+therapists lead the conversation on mood disorders, since that's who everyone is talking to about their mood disorders.

IMHO it's just the hammer-and-nail thing. To a cardiologist, every medical problem is seen through a potentially cardiovascular lens; to an oncologist, every problem is a question of what type of cancer could cause it.

Psychiatrists are technically medical doctors, but they spend their entire careers (after a few short years of school) focusing on psych cases; where these patients' problems either are purely psychological (e.g. conditioned-response, traumatic-response, coping/defensive, attachment-related, etc.), or at best "we don't know" the degree to which they're psychological vs organic. (If we can recognize a problem as purely organic from the outset, that problem doesn't end up in the hands of a psychiatrist!) And either way, they usually see good results in clinical practice from treating the patient's mind, rather than addressing organic signs/symptoms directly. Even when they prescribe medication, they're measuring their success on a mental basis (using questionnaire-based instruments used to gauge mental changes) rather than observing changes in e.g. measurable behavioral signs. The problems they're faced with, and the successes they have via these models, reinforce in psychiatrists a mind-centered mental model / worldview for psychiatric disease. (A model which is "the right one" to use in many psychological diseases! But not for many others.)

And therapists aren't even medical doctors. They never learn much-at-all in school about potential organic causes of psychological (or medical) problems. They focus purely on this lens of "the mind", ignoring the lens of "the brain as an organ" entirely. This means that in clinical practice, when confronted with a problem that has both mental and organic aspects, a therapist will tend to ignore the organic aspects; and when confronted with a problem where the organic aspects are too large to ignore, the therapist will simply refer to a psychiatrist (or neurologist, maybe) — with no follow-up, and thereby, no way to end up learning what the patient's problem actually was and thereby evolving the neurological side of their understanding.
I take mustard baths occasionally (about a cups worth) when I feel a cold or virus coming on which seems to kind of fast track clearing out whatever is causing it. Feel amazing after. Better than baseline as I’ve found a similar effect when not sick.

I agree it's a mindset, I just mean that that mindset has kind of coevolved with a bunch of other stuff.

Even Microsoft seems to be slipping. It seems like these days the (unstoppable!) Windows updates may actually change functionality and UI, which was much less common in the past. And of course the new versions of Windows are more aggressive about updating. They still maintain backwards compatibility for running third-party programs, but I feel like their mindset used to include more stability in their own software as well.

I agree some of their models are losing ground, but blanketing Open AI overall as an overhyped underperforming company because of that is just silly.
Pookleblinky (PBUH) was prophetic about the lack of an American trickster archetype. So prescient that the populace ended up electing some f***ed up Protestant version of one.
And I think I addressed the salutes (and implicitly his other actions) as being completely irrational and inexplicable. Musk does that sort of thing a lot.

I disagree. It's easier to get the non-technical in my life to remember one password than many. And most of them can't even manage that. I too have failed many times with 1password. It's literally one password and they can't remember it. It makes me understand why I keep seeing new email addresses: the moment their phone dies, they are out of luck because they don't remember their email passwords. At least magic link is one less password for them to forget.

Not true. They can remove you from the company grounds and block access to all systems the moment you get fired or you hand in your resignation. But they have to pay you (if there is no "good reason" for firing you) for a varying amount of time (depending on your contract and some minimums by law).

Of course, most of the time, you can / need to stay at the company for that above mentioned varying amount of time.

This is a rather tediously long article. The summary as I see it:

1. OpenAI hemorrhages money (on the order of $10's of billions a year).

1a. A subargument that this hemorrhaging is rather fundamental--OpenAI isn't anywhere close to breaking even on operational costs, and it seems that OpenAI is getting sweetheart deals on compute that aren't going to last very long.

2. There's very few entities capable of maintaining the pipeline of money that OpenAI desperately needs.

3. Most of those (this article claims) are unwilling to stump for the cash.

4. OpenAI's capital expenditures (this article claims) are a major (if not existential) source of revenue for its suppliers, so if OpenAI implodes, it presents a risk to many other tech companies as well via the network of suppliers.

The problem with this article is that, as much as I might be inclined to agree with it based on my priors, I just don't see any actual plausible way that OpenAI implodes spectacularly like that. If the funding dries up, the most likely scenario to me is that OpenAI undergoes a crunch mode where it tries to eke out an operational profit while begging everybody else (including probably the government) to finance capital expenditures at a reduced rate. Instead of a big bang like Lehman Brothers was, it instead would look a lot more like a longer, slower decline where the tech industry underperforms the market rather than explosively driving it.
I think you're being too generous to both the speaker and the WSJ, but maybe that's too cynical.
> The government thus far refuses to even admit there is a contract

Right so for options, when the employee leaves the company, they can convert them to shares, and then there are ways for them to sell those shares somehow, and it results in cash money somewhere down the road that isn't just the salary.

Secondary to the primary horror of Trump's current attempts to apply this to citizens: It is also a direct attack on one of the other key points of societal failure, which is trust in police. Yes, yes, we were already way below where we need to be, but it was still the case that when an innocent non-black person encountered police, the majority of the time the feelings they might have ranged from trust to simple nervousness. An enormous caveat to law enforcement is that we trust officers with the power to order people to do things. If a cop orders me to come with them without a great explanation, I'm going to verbally protest, ask to see their badge, whatever - but I'm going to physically comply, because we agree to give cops this power, and, crucially, because there could be a legitimate reason, or an innocent mistake, and even absent that, I have a general feeling about the ceiling on the worst things that could realistically happen to me (since I'm a citizen, white, etc).

But now, a bright line has been crossed. Anybody in a group that Trump supporters hate has to consider that there is a non-zero chance an encounter with the wrong type of law enforcement could end with being tortured in a foreign prison. In a nation governed by fear, my mind is not nearly as clear on priorities and risk assessment when the cop asks me to come with him without a rock solid explanation. That's dangerous, for everybody, including the police.
don't miss that OAI also published a prompting guide WITH RECEIPTS for GPT 4.1 specifically for those building agents... with a new recommendation for:

- telling the model to be persistent (+20%)

- dont self-inject/parse toolcalls (+2%)

- prompted planning (+4%)

- JSON BAD - use XML or arxiv 2406.13121 (GDM format)

- put instructions + user query at TOP -and- BOTTOM - bottom-only is VERY BAD

- no evidence that ALL CAPS or Bribes or Tips or threats to grandma work

Not all systems upgrade every few months. A major question is when we reach step-improvements in performance warranting a re-eval, redesign of prompts, etc.

There's a small bleeding edge, and a much larger number of followers.

If you want to maintain the properties that SQLite has for read use cases, you'll need to replicate a couple of features. At the very least, you'll probably want the format to still be page-based with a BTree structure. You really could get away with just using the SQLite format if you didn't mind the weirdness; a functional SQLite parser that can read tables would not be a significant amount of code. I think, though, that if you want to read the schema as SQLite understands it, you'd need to interpret the CREATE TABLE syntax, which would make it a bit more complex for sure. Otherwise, you can read tables and columns themselves relatively easily, and the values are all stringified.
Thanks for the comments. This is a strange feeling. I rarely feel so at odds with the general opinion.

My experience is, passwords are a 1 second affair: open website, tap credential highlighted by password manager, trigger face/touch id or whatever exists on android/windows, done.

Email experience: open website, click login, get some link, go to another app, wait for it to pull emails, look for email, open email, click link, opens in browser, maybe not the same browser where you opened the app, so go back and copy link, realize copying links from email buttons is not easy on mobile, finally login.

If this is where you guys want this to go, it sucks. How can we improve it? Maybe we need to implement some wait to do what apple does when you get a 2FA code via sms? It just shows it to you in app instead of having you open messages app?

> the net would be about zero because half the people would downvote them.

Why would you assume that? It's a fallacy to assume that political opinions are evenly distributed. People seem to agree that different sites attract people of different political persuasions. A post that gets highly upvoted on Truth Social might get highly downvoted on Reddit, and vice versa. That's not astroturfing, that's just self-selecting communities.

> partisan posts in one direction always seem to net over 1000 or 2000, yet partisan posts in the other direction net about zero.

Again, it depends on the audience. This is not a new phenomenon. 50 years ago, you would get a different response to certain political statements depending on whether you made them at a Grateful Dead Concert or at a meeting of the Fraternal Order of Police. Why should today be different?

> I would only expect maybe +20 to be the ceiling.

Why? People feel strongly about their political believes. It's polarizing and engaging in a way that a post about crockpots or guitar strings isn't.
