Oh - thank you very much for the correction, I must have been reading the article too quickly!

Rich guys are mainly incompetent. They'll tell you they're rich because of meritocracy, but I've found that too much money has the opposite effect. You end up surrounded by yes-men and can buy your way out of any failure, so

I mean, it smells an AI slop article, so it's hard to expect much coherence.

Relevance?

I've seen (and said) "if it compiles it works," but only when preceded by softening statements like "In my experience," or "most of the time." Because it really does feel like most of the time, the first t

That's how these things go, sadly. As an example, Loving v Virginia, the Supreme Court case that struck down all anti-miscegenation laws, was in 1967. In 1968, a Gallup poll indicated that less that 20% of white Americans "approve

It's really not 'the smartest people.' It's people interested in tech, and often in making-a-lot-of-money-in-tech. It does have a lot of people with significant industry experience, which is cool.

The bandwidth of rdma over thunderbolt is so much faster (and lower latency) than Apple's system of mostly-wireless devices, I can't see how any learnings here would transfer.

I think a 'real store' generally allows you to exchange money for something. If I wanted to sell software to Linux users, Steam is probably the closest thing to an 'app store' you could expect to find. Windows has the M

They don't - not the same way that farms or factories need laborers. Some small fraction of your software workers need to be around to handle the running software and hardware in case of failure. In the context of union bargaining powe

Is there an alternative union that you think Id employees should have joined?

Exactly - they've been doing paint outs and composite shots forever! It doesn't feel fundamentally different to do it "on a computer," to me. They aren't using it to show off, just to make the scene look how you&#x2

It's a lot of CGI, but done in realistic ways. A lot of the examples from the article (which is a very good article, thank you for linking it) were mostly about paint-outs, color grading, or background elements. There's a good chu

Dunno :) I'm not an expert at LLMs or test design, I just see a lot of similarity between IQ tests and these questions.

Took a couple just now. It seems like a straight-forward generalization of the IQ tests I've taken before, reformatted into an explicit grid to be a little bit friendlier to machines. Not to humble-brag, but I also outperform on IQ tes

It is very similar to an IQ test, with all the attendant problems that entails. Looking at the Arc-AGI problems, it seems like visual/spatial reasoning is just about the only thing they are testing.

And it's worse if your python libraries might be on network storage - like in a user's homedir in a shared compute environment.

Profoundly awful idea.

Very subtle equivalence you're drawing between gay people and pedophiles.
