I think the answer is much simpler: They didn't recognize the potential of that specific architecture. I don't think anyone could have. They valued the perk to employees being able to publish research, and the prestige that follow

The ids were used in a limited context and it compared to all the other ids generated in the same context. Yes, absolutely nonsensical. I find it interesting that presumably the LLM was trained on millions of legit examples where people gen

They do tend to overengineer. The other day 5.6 Sol generated a while loop around a uuid4 call to make sure the generated ids were unique... I wonder if that's also how I'd behave if I had a reinforcement learning harness around m

What fraction of Google is owned by the engineers at Google? 5%? That's nothing compared to the bargaining power obtained by organized labor, actual socialist organization.

I mean why do you say that large tax evading organizations, operating in an extremely capitalist environment, steered by a small, unfathomably rich, group of people with uncommon and often ultra liberal ideologies, are more socialist than t

If there's no shadowy cabal then why do our politicians continue to pass domestically unpopular laws? I mean, there doesn't have to be a literal shadowy cabal, the effective "cabal" could be a combination of corruption,

Don't you think modern image analysis tools such as llms will be easily defeated by measures such as adding colored rings? A couple of years ago you could add some pixels to an image to change it's automatic classification from ca

Are you calling Macron a "leftist"? It does help your argument because it's a tautology that "the leftists failed to provide prosperity" if the entire political spectrum counts as such.

> the EU is toothless and lacks the spine to twist some arms in order to see its interests represented on the world stage. The rhetoric right now is just bizarre. Why should the EU force countries against their will using military? Do yo

They said "there are algorithmic changes that remains to be discovered" and you said they bought into the idea that "all we need is more context". Seems like opposites to me.

Looks great! One minor correction - the `summarize` function in duckdb can also be used in CTEs etc. But you have to wrap the `summarize` in a `from` clause like this: with some_table as (from range(10)), x as (from (summarize s

Call it progress, call it "economic leverage", a very inflated stock market is no good measure for either. It's true the US economy has grown faster than the European in the last two decades, for sure, I agree with you. It&#x

To be fair the value of the stock market is not a good indicator of progress. The US stock market is incredibly inflated. Besides, it's a bit strange to argue that it's impossible to make a change, and as proof of that take the fa

To add to that: There are also "compounding effects" from investments made by tax money, just as for any other investments, the difference is that the compounding gains are collectively owned and not controlled by an individual.

That's a misunderstanding of the original argument. It's not about billionairs "doing something bad". The claim is that the only way to become a billionaire is to benefit from an unfair economic system.

The word "extracted" does not betray a belief that value cannot be created. You can "extract" value that is created just as you can extract value that was there already. The question is not whether or not value was creat

This is the worst thing about current AI agents. They never ask questions. The prompt has to be pixel perfect and unambiguous or they'll happily run away doing something ridiculous.

By your definition 95% of the world population live in 'poor' countries. I guess if that's how you want to use the word that's up to you, but people outside of your bubble will literally not understand what you are sayin

Let's not be delusional. The UK is not a poor country, and 64K is low by US tech standards but it's good by any other measure.

Genuine question: why do you think game engines need operator overloading? I mean, what's wrong with generic functions like add, multiply, dot etc.

The context of this discussion is Brazil and the intentions of the socialist Brazilian government. Are you claiming that the socialist party in Brazil intends to dismantle capitalism? In case you are unaware, countries can have capitalist e
