I’m definitely interested. I’d be down for profit sharing as well. I’ve been unemployed for some time now, so I have time to commit towards development.

> How the higher level thought is occurring continues to be a mystery. This is an emergent behavior that wasn’t predicted prior to the first breakthroughs which were intended for translation, not for this type of higher level reasoning.

I'm curious what you mean by higher level thought (or reasoning). Can you elaborate or provide some references?

VMWare had half of its employees laid off in the past two year. Hock Tan cornered the market, taking over VMWare and its competitor, Citrix. Was this caused by Sec 174, or was it just another predatory acquisition?

There's a LOT of pushback against the idea that AI is not magic. Imagine if there was a narrative that said, "[compilers|kernels|web browsers] are magic. Even though we have the source code, we don't really know what's going on under the hood."

That's not my problem. That's your problem.

A lot of things are magic when you don't understand the underlying principles of operation.

So, some engineers just stumbled upon LLMs and said, "Holy smokes, we've created something impressive, but we really can't explain how this stuff works!"

We built these things. Piece by piece. If you don't understand the state-of-the-art architectures, I don't blame you. Neither do I. It's exhausting trying to keep up. But these technologies, by and large, are understood by the engineers that created them.

What is "the ACJ decision from last session"? For that matter, what is ACJ?

Hey zbuf, if you go to any of Cleanfeed's blog posts, the FAQ and Contact links in the footer are broken.

  The headphone jack was putting the additional risk on your device to be crushed.

Can you expand on this? I'm assuming the force required to collapse the 3.5mm cavity would be incredibly high.

  Jacks themselves were good spots to break due to mechanical stress, especially the cheap ones.

The same can be said about the lightning connector.

  It was literally stopping any innovation. Without the jack, new alternatives will pop up at an incredible pace.

This is forced obsolescence. Suppose the jack remained in iPhone 7. Apple would have a much harder time selling wireless earbuds.

These Ask HN's can really be a crap shoot.

The sensor is the same size though.
