Optimal plan construction is math-heavy, algorithm-heavy and vary even by workload. There are options like creating just-in-time indexes, so solution space grows even faster than article presents. Sometimes it is the query planner which is the slow part of total execution time.

LLM is kind of blunt weapon to use here. I am waiting rather for alphago style neural net heuristic.

It uses copy-and-patch compilation to archive that

For Pixel drivers, is there something that prevents Google from relicensing them to proprietary and not share any source at all?

Many essential metabolic enzymes require metal ions for catalysis, structure, or substrate binding. So in some sense the dependence is still there, we just learned to take bits of substrate with us while travelling.

There is a famously counterintuitive conjecture about demand and supply named "Jevon's paradox". For compute it held so far.

Incredible. Thank you for posting that. What software do you use for phone calls?

Does encrypted memory give ECC-like detection benefit, along with rowhammer protection, for cheaper cost (only additional computation), and 100% reliable?

Nobody tried planet-scale geo engineering before, as far as I understand the opinions on it's effectiveness vary.

2% of country's people working together is a successful revolution

The latest moves from google are the damning smoking gun evidence that anti monopoly court ever needs. "Do this or else". Recaptcha, gmail, google suite, android, chrome, colab and even google play must be viable businesses on their own, separate from google ads machine. Gmail must start competing for users with other email providers. And, yes, recaptcha must pay its infrastructure cost in full only from recaptcha revenue. This is the good way to level playing field, silence all the critics and let air into the room.

>Dolphin held a pleasant surprise: it could detect my iPhone when it was plugged in. This made it a snap to transfer files to and from my phone as the file manager granted full file access to the iPhone

Wait, what? Is this true? Since when?

When NPU will become available in most systems, we will see learned indexes like in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.01208v1 on client side.

If file search indexes and such will be replaced by neural networks, this will be small but measurable improvement in battery life, speed and memory usage.

There are chemiseries and metabolisms out there beyond our wildest imaginations

1) 24/7 available super-competent personal assistant has tremendous value for any person who does something interesting or difficult and values personal time

2) llm-provided tax/legal advice alone was worth hundreds of euros for me

3) there is no easy way to capture all this value. I still think edge intelligence/autonomy has a way to pay for the rest of the party, because those will be physical things. People eagerly part with money for things. Governments and enterprises will maybe pay for cloud services, if the price will be right

>a horror story based on real events

So is it fiction? Details matter. If any of the details are not true, this makes story is waaay less interesting.

Chaos agents promote cooperation

The optimistic scenario for current ai bubble: long careful deflation, one flop at a time.

The cautious scenario of llm usage in daily life: in 36 years, it is invisible and everywhere. Every device has a neural chip. It replaced untold trillions of years of work, reshaped knowledge and artistic work, robotics, became something as boring as email, TV, SAP, or power cable today. Barely anyone is excited. Society is poor, but not hopelessly so.

Humanity forgotten LLMs and is hyping gene engineering.

Yes, interoperability, extensibility, composability and the tyranny of program author is a problem. JVM with runtime-loading of classes and it's once popular beans standard is one of closest approximations, known to me, of the most general "local" solution.

Yes, it's cumbersome and hacky and still limited. The beans idea lost popularity and mindshare.

I am questioning, how is this news? What about the other terabyte of text influenced by bias and opinion and human nature and clearly wrong, contradicts itself or in some other way very arguable.

Framing publishing falsehoods on internet as attempts to influence LLMs is true in same sense that inserts in a database attempts influence files on disk.

The real question is who authorized database access and how we believe the contents of table.

In general the better experience will command higher price, right. That is true, and by forcing same lowest level on everyone we are constructing artificial floor on how bad an experience can be.

Or at least ensuring that bad experience is so profitable that the competitor is ready to even pay the fee for violations.

Illegal markets operate in this territory. No consumer protection there, sorry.

I started to understand the question more, thank you for your comment

I am not getting it. The rule makes competition in markets higher. Because dollars flow to best offers faster. And thus improve economic situation, not only in markets affected by rule, but also on all other markets, in case customer wants to take his money elsewhere.

And on international scale, because more competitive companies presumably out-compete foreign competitors.

So, FTC needs some permission and review to make national economy money?

Steam's anti-piracy measure is being better, convenient, adding massive value to gamers.

I'll be fired if I create my worst

I am impressed by speed of the sound goalpost movement.

Few days ago Google released very competent summary generator, interpreter between 10-s of languages, gpt-3 class general purpose assistant. Working locally on modest hardware. On 5 years old laptop, no discrete GPU.

It alone potentially saves so much toil, so much stupid work.

We also finally “solved computer vision”. Read from PDF, read diagrams and tables.

Local vision models are much less impressive and need some care to use. Give it 2 years.

I don't know if we can overhype it when it archives holy grail level on some important tasks.

Crystallized intelligence is. I am not sure about fluid intelligence.

Apple and Google censorship of apps not getting nearly as much attention and publicity as it deserves.

Confusing everyone about java license situation is another example.

I think lawnmower metaphor never was accurate or helped to get it.

Oracle is an alligator or a snake. A reptile. If you move, it will probably eat you alive. It wants to eat you, or part of you.

It also lives in the waterhole, hoarding an essential resource. Not guarding or developing it, just sitting there.

It is ancient and will never change.

It's not alligator's fault for being predator. It is it's nature
