Well Coal is already cooked

I wonder if the AI companies would even pay for this, because it increases the quality of the training data.

You gotta edit your posts!

First and third paragraphs are highly redundant (surrounding ideas are the same too).

It's not nice to read something that appears like the author never read it.

I thought this was complaining the solo founder would just be sales. Sales, with some agent lackies doing dev.

Because people will see the training vehicles?

There are already tourist rickshaws that blare music extremely loudly. Those are effectively the replacement.

They probably were unwilling to impose penalties that would be strong enough because they would also put them out of business, and until they were willing to ban it outright they were uncomfortable with that outcome.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50116002 See that.

There is no business here that can afford any capital outlay, this is a bunch of mom-and-pop shops that rent stable slots (I think) and own medallions. No capital outlay -- nothing can really change.

The city could also spend money on the stables. And NYC NYS have spent money propping up stupid small businesses unable to take care of themselves before. But I do not endorse that outcome at all.

I do not know. I have not looked into this issue on the merits. I have just observed the gridlock and status-quo bias around it.

I suspect though that mandating better conditions would have the same effect --- the horse tourism business probably stops penciling out if they have to make the required changes. And given that, TWU would fight it just as hard --- a de jure or de facto ban has the same effect as far as they are concerned.

I am a layperson, but this is I think the best thing I've ever read about neural networks.

This is a bigger deal than it might sound. Despite lots of consensus that the horse carriages are bad, it has taken years to get this done. It infamously stalled during De Blasio's mayoralty too, for example.

This is also an L for the TWU, and I suspect there will be more of those to come in the following months.

This usage is etymological. So its fine. I don't like it when we trash and etymology, but in this case we're restoring it, or at least not making it worse.

("ex normal" doesn't clearly mean "evil"/"sinful", and Latin already had it as "big".)

Yeah very confusing why someone would think cars and cats are not similar. They both have two shiny eyes and a nose!

Who knows what they were thinking before, but this all sounds very good.

Not as much as Mastodon does!

I would say if rents are any indication, it is still a thing going on in many cities. But yes, remote work has sapped the appeal for many people.

Crime has declined for 30 years to an amazing extent, almost uninterrupted but for Covid. Total non-problem.

I mean there's been huge strides in electric vehicles at low prices that Americans haven't experienced.

We've just locked out a large part of modernity because the shitty American auto industry is in swing states and also gender.

Same could be said about the slow rollout of Waymo.

Lots of America is just very anti technological change, and this means any technology no matter how "magical" hits a wall.

This is exactly right.

I saw a post that said roughly "I thought computing was doomed to be 'Linux, Python, and HTTP' for the rest of my life. Now we're free". That's it. Let it sink in. We're free. We can make the computer do whatever we want.

Cast off the yokes back-compat and history

That's an artifact of where you live haha

RL robotics is increasingly something that cannot be avoided, I think.

To everyone skeptical of people saying that it's better to separate CPU and GPU code into separate files, riddle me this:

With this system, how do we specify whether dependencies are needed to be compiled for the CPU, GPU, or both?

----

Technically I don't know really care whether it's multiple files or one, I just want to make sure we are not reinventing a shittier version of CFG. What they are providing looks to me like:

1. explicitly annotate some things as `cfg(GPU)` or ungated (both)

2. unlabeled means annotated `cfg(not(GPU))` by definitely

Put this way, this has nothing to do with GPUs, and just has to do with creating some crate-local CFG shorthanded. Great! Let's do that first, get a solid foundation, and then come back to whatever is remaining for CUDA Rust.

The problem is not the sex, the problem is the cult. The sex is merely evidence for the cult.

My perspective using Nix is that it's hardly worth standardizing ISAs. Recompiling software is easy and we should have a Cambrian explosion of different designs.

This is especially good if one scopes out a family of ISAs that are ABI compatible such that one can compile down to a semi-pre-optimized portable IR, and just do the last bit per ISA.

Sure.

Nixpkgs cross support for Windows has been in there a while. Native windows support for Nix is a bit less advertised because it is pre-release/pre-MVP-on-master, but see https://github.com/nix-windows/nix-windows-demo . And expect to hear more on this in the next few weeks :).

I totally agree with you on the first bit, but I also think that I am way better at deciding on how to refactor code bases than the LLM is.

Right now, I put models in low thinking mode during my refactors and hate waiting. I would much rather have a faster model that that maybe was slightly stupider, and I would wait far less long between prompts where it needs my valuable input.

Models that are dumb, but humble and fast, can be fine.

If your task has incremental rewards/feedback, you can push the "intelligence rate" simply by sampling the reward function faster. That's not fake, even if it not a substitute either.

This is the "dumber but honest person that works harder" phenomenon, vs "lazy genius".

> PS: If anyone managed to combine Clang-based MinGW with AddressSanitizer and Wine without crashing at launch, please show me how and drop me an e-mail. Thank you!

It's for problems like these that I have been working at cross and native Windows support in the Nix ecosystem

No this isn't mindless reinventing --- this is finally having clear empiric evidence for something that we knew the entire time. This is a huge relief!

Next up is demonstrating the AI is more productive with better programming languages.

Where is this meme coming from? IEEE floating point is deterministic
