Fixed the result, eh? In both senses of the word.

The bitter lesson is rather specific and IMO vastly over-applied. It basically says that you can beat hand-tuning by waiting a few years and using "more of the same" generic method. It's not all that different from saying &qu

One could also say that a logical agent needs ultimate goals to do anything and it cannot choose them by logical means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEUO6pjwFOo

No shit, but the huge ordeal you described is an exaggeration.

How do you mean building things? To be honest, I don't get excited about most products that I'm working on - that is what the money is for. The enjoyment comes mostly from technological problem solving.

It took me about three hours total to set up a local model. I already have a GPU and I have fiber for the download. llama.cpp is not difficult to compile and has many backends. It can run parts of the model on different backends, like in th

Konrad Adenauer, Ludwig Erhard, Kurt Georg Kiesinger and Helmut Kohl were CDU chancellors without SPD for a total of 36 years. Merkel had one election period out of four without SPD, so there was a total of 40 years of no SPD. That is much

Well, the intention is much more really-actually-defensive this time.

Oh no, not at all. When CDU and SPD were both very strong (until about 2005-2010), they never once had a coalition, and CDU won elections more often than SPD.

Also rcrdlbl.com! It didn't have as much, but a higher density of good stuff IME. That said, finding good stuff on Hype Machine is not that difficult: 1. Find a track that you like (this may take a while), 2. Browse collections of peop

How would understanding the environment of a decision not matter for making a good decision?

Regarding "measurements tend to produce micro-improvements", not if you are the first to actually measure stuff in a codebase. There tend to be big fat low-hanging fruit.

Maybe they could ask the AI to fix their atrocious build times. Only in Chrome do you have 300 line source files that blow up to 20 megabytes after preprocessing as a matter of course. 3 GB per compile job is getting more common - and RAM i

Probably the same way it was in Germany: in some foreign countries, where it's the cost of doing business. Switzerland has an unusually direct democracy, which keeps their house in order. Maybe it's also what allows Switzerland to

I have never before seen "FIFA World Cup" used so much and I guess that's why. Do you enjoy watching FIA F1 or IOC Olympics? It's pushy and inconsiderate self-promotion that nobody wants to hear.

In almost every part of the world, all people know some basic things about football (and I do mean the one where you kick a ball with the foot ), like it has two halves of 45 minutes.

One is a dictatorship (well that is how it turns out every time), the other is a democracy, for starters. If that is not a huge difference to you...

Stop the hyperbole. Jacobin is more like social democrat (what most nominally social democrat parties used to do, but aren't doing anymore). That's about two significant notches less communist than communism.

Did anyone say lazy? I think the attitude was more like "irresponsible": Taking on debt with no hope of paying it off.

Fine by me. Technology-wise, it doesn't seem to do anything cool that hasn't been done before, and its business goals seem to be to get rid of that pesky GPL2 licensed stuff and to introduce a stable ABI for drivers (i.e. no accid

According to Cliff Click, compilers and JVM + some other systems programming guy, Azul has a JVM with microseconds pause times at very large heap sizes (10s, 100s of GB?) and allocation rates. That is "pauseless" for gaming purpos

The reason why I omitted Minix is that I don't know about its performance characteristics. Same for TRON / eTRON which is or used to be huge in the Japanese industry.
