Safety standards were often the outcome of both accidents and insurance. For this to work on needs liability which is enforced. With so much money at stake regulatory capture now threatens this fundamental safeguard.
The author praises the enterprise version vs. the more simpler one. Having had the pleasure coordinating one clearcase site in a very large distributed setup with significant replication traffic and windows and unix clients: It was an unstable mess.
Let's wait and see how well this Touch ID works. My alarm bells went off when it was mentioned in conjunction with the Apple Watch also being able to unlock it.
I'm wondering whether it is now time for regulators to pressure mobile phone companies to install longer life batteries. There is not really an incentive to prolong device life for manufacturers and when I look at recent progress on the car industry and utility battery side there is imho. potential.
I also feel Copilot is not getting the attention it should considering its user base and its importance in the enterprise context. There is a lot to be learned and I found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49256057 (mitm copilot investigation) interesting. Playing with Copilot and asking it what was the biggest part of its standard payload I was surprised to learn that VSCode extensions plug in their MCP servers without me being much aware of it.
This would require data centre cap-ex north of 1T and revenues from non AI companies in the same order of magnitude. Is it realistic to scale up data centre roll-outs? Are regular companies ready to re-allocate 1T? And this all happens in an environment where rates go up and many of the companies are not profitable?
It may be worth getting checked out for fructose malabsorption. It means the main pathway for fructose absorption is not working and your gut only has less effective (and easily disrupted, looking at you Sorbitol) transport pathways with single digit grams capacity. Anything more and you will get symptoms. It is extremely hard to avoid fructose to get down to that level without careful attention so it is significantly under-diagnosed.
These waves where someone found a new way to focus on the valuable part and leave the grunt work to lowly others comes again and again. As always the truth remains that each step in the process is relatively trivial and is is the overall complexity e2e and scale and handling edge cases that are where value is created. But that won‘t stop groups trying to differentiate themselves by looking down on others even when it is clearly failing. As long as there is a benefit to the group driving it.
Propping up the yen may be more helpful for the US than if Japan hikes interest rates which is on the table (Google ’bring money home‘). The carry trade buying treasuries with debts incurred in yen has been a steady source for US funding. Eventually it will happen with collateral impact on treasury rates but this ‚supportive‘ move may just shift it past November.
Tired seeing them is one thing the real problem is tired updating your software stack with a frequency the team & tooling was never designed to sustain. Worse: You are not tired enough to forget the real security issues that would need some calm period to fix.
Ultimately the market will balance demand and supply. From a strategic perspective big players want to get to a level playing field as soon as possible as then their market reach and capital wins the game. Pesky nimble small closed upstarts are in the best case a costly distraction and in the worst case a threat - Antropic and Openai did not sign the letter.
Predictable power play by corporate strategy and legal departments.
AI seems to help with tasks that should have been simplified and have accidental complexity, at least that's how I read:
AI usage outside of work appears particularly high for high-friction adminis-
trative tasks. ATLAS data covers a broad set of activities outside of work, and we find that a handful of high-friction professional and bureaucratic activities exhibit significant over-representation in the data relative to the actual time spent on them. These activities include interactions related to government services, legal topics, finance, and education.
I‘m really wondering about plan and then agent mode switch in Copilot even with the same model. The switch swaps the prompt so all the learnings during planning which are in the cache will get invalidated.
It was also the rise of Github and the importance of the software hosted there. More consistent documentation and transparent issue trackers/PRs helped a lot dealing with evolving software.
If we are in the long run stabilising that would be already a win. Until the temperatures go down it will be a long, long, long time if ever. So temperatures will go up and we have to adjust. The scale of required adjustments is not understood yet and the increasing number of surprising needs to adjust is scary.
Not necessarily. By handling certain aspects orthogonal to the main flow it reduces the context the llm has to keep track of and should enable deeper reasoning of the main functional logic.
Reproducibly through measurements has a lot of value if you do not have a coach like the author for his mother. Yes a lot of recipes can be handed down but the space of recipes is so much larger. We don‘t need books as we can tell stories and this bring out the feel so much better is true but where would we be without the encyclopedia.
In December by chance I put a pack of Vitamin D into my shopping basket. I did not think much, thought to take 1000IE but then decided that for the first week I take 3000 to catch up. Muscle pain went and control over eating improved. I did not expect any changes based on past experience with 1000 but this time I could not ignore it (age can play a role) and I stayed on 3000. Tests a month later showed I was just not deficient any-more. I continued on the regime and started having improvements in long running skin issues to the extent my dentist noticed. It may not be a miracle drug but one should not underestimate cumulative impact individual factors, age and lifestyle changes (less sun) that may change levels and demand.
