This might turn out to be a lot more stable structure long term: the commercialization of AI under Microsoft's brand, with Microsoft's resources, and the deep research into advanced AI under OpenAI. This could shield the research

It depends on what assurances they were given and by whom. Perhaps it was Sam Altman himself that made verbal promises that weren’t his to give, and he may end up in trouble over them. We don’t know what was said, and what was signed. To pu

Nobody actually understands how humans actually understand something, just like nobody actually understands how LLMs do what they do. Everybody opining about it is doing just that: offering an opinion. Geoff Hinton’s opinion is worth more t

Enforcing screen time in any way other than physical device security is an exercise in frustration. With apple screen time is sometimes not counted, and sometimes counted when the screen is off. On mac especially it is basically useless. An

Part of it is the hype cycle. The other part is that everyone working on them is very confident they will get a lot better at what they are doing today, and will gain new abilities. The kind of programming from the video, conversationally b

You can use the htm library as a pure client-side jsx: https://github.com/developit/htm It is not completely the same, but far better than that h function madness.

Not if you use react server components, then markup is streamed in chunks as it gets rendered on the server and patched into the dom on the client. The JS for those components is never sent to the client.

Samsung and apple make most of their money from selling hardware. Google makes most of its money from selling advertising. In fact, google makes more money from youtube ads than from all its hardware combined. That changes the motivation of

You mean do the right thing by shareholders. Apple spends on the order of a 100 billion a year lining shareholder pockets through buybacks and dividends. That is three times what they spend on r&d. This company is making obscene amounts

In my experience writing out assumptions together with estimates tends to improve estimate accuracy a lot, by challenging the assumptions (and estimates) more at estimation time, and making it more visible when changes occur at implementati

I agree that immigration is a quick fix for a low fertility rate. But the people worrying about fertility rates fear cultural displacement by immigrants. They want less immigration, not more, and instead see a return to family values as the

They don’t. They leave. When enough of them leave a negative spiral sets in, until most of whose left are people who have nowhere else to go. You would think that kills a company, but a big company can survive decades in that mode, just slo

But it does guarantee that any customer that can’t afford a big legal team uses their big legal team, reducing the chances of a bad (for them) precedent caused by an inept defense. It also discourages predatory lawsuits against small user

HTML has built-in templates now, and custom elements (web components) provide composability. If the built-in templating is not quite powerful enough (it has no logic or variables) there’s developit/htm which is basically JSX but parsin

The storage plan for the EU is a mix of battery and hydrogen storage. It has a timeline that will take a while, but so does nuclear. There is a roadmap for converting europe’s gas transport and storage infrastructure over to hydrogen as par

The people best placed to understand how AGI will affect social power dynamics are probably political creatures, not AI researchers, except if one of those AI researchers is also a skilled politician, which I don’t think any of them are.

In general I think you’re right. Global GDP per capita is at $13K which is probably not enough to give everyone a western lifestyle if inequalities were stripped away. But specifically for food the situation is different. There’s so much fo

Seeing the weights is useless for knowing capabilities, and even knowing training data and architecture you still need to interact with it to figure those out, which you can do with cloud AI just as well. The real risk that I see is the use

It replaces the 13 inch macbook pro with m2. Apple always has a “pro” macbook at that price point and it is one of the better selling macbooks, because not all “pro” users have a need for cpu grunt. A lawyer, for example, probably wants a “

Apple does not backport all security fixes and they never have, and what they do backport they do on a delayed schedule. It's not clear whether they have an actual policy that determines what gets backported or whether it's just a
