The AI revolution isn't replacing Java developers. No, it's forcing us to think harder.Welcome to another episode of the Foojay Podcast! Today, we're talking about AI and Java, how it's changing the way we work, what we need to watch out for, and why understanding what's really happening matters more than ever.I recorded interviews at Devoxx and JFall and spoke with people who build and use this technology every day.Marianne Hoornenborg opened my eyes to something important: every time an AI generates a token, there's a massive amount of computation happening behind the scenes.Viktor Gamov and Baruch Sadogursky did something really cool: they tested six different AI coding tools live on stage with the same task. The results were all over the place! But they found that the tools with access to good documentation performed much better.Stephen Chin showed me how graph databases can make AI responses more reliable by providing a solid source of truth rather than relying on vector search.Mario Fusco works on LangChain4J, a leading Java framework for AI. He explained that breaking down large tasks into smaller ones and using specialized agents can help reduce errors—hallucinations, as they're called.Jeroen Benckhuijsen and Martijn Dashorst shared their experiences working with enterprise Java. Even as frameworks are becoming lighter and we're running everything in containers, there are still complex problems that require real developer expertise.Maarten Mulders reminds us that AI is a tool, not a replacement—especially when you're solving problems no one has tackled before. You still need to know what you're doing.And finally, Simon Maple from Tessel discussed moving beyond vibe coding towards a more reliable, production-ready approach, using specifications to guide AI tools.00:00 Introduction of topics and guests02:12 Marianne Hoornenborg https://www.linkedin.com/in/mhoornenborg/The Simple Math behind AI The cost of tokens when using LLMs06:54 Viktor Gamov and Baruch Sadogursky https://www.linkedin.com/in/vikgamov/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jbaruch/ Robocoders, about the many agentic tools that can be used for vibe coding https://context7.com/16:24 Stephen Chin https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveonjava/ Graph versus relational databases Explaining MCP and Agents23:09 Mario Fusco https://www.linkedin.com/in/mario-fusco-3467213/ AI and LangChain4j in Quarkus Coding tools with AI35:43 Jeroen Benckhuijsen https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeroenbenckhuijsen/ Java in business, Evolutions in Java Making use of containers and Kubernetes Learning from the community41:44 Martijn Dashorst https://www.linkedin.com/in/dashorst/ Investigating an OOM-killer in Kubernetes with the help of AI49:37 Maarten Mulders https://www.linkedin.com/in/mthmulders/How AI may impact our jobs How to improve your Maven builds 56:13 Simon Maple https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonmaple/ AI developer tool Tessl Spec-driven vibe coding Secure AI development01:02:12 Conclusion

Hey everyone, Alex here
It's the 50th episode of 6OP, and the boys are back for a bumper August episode. We cover two full months of content, as it appears we have lost the month of July 2025 from the podcasting annals (Jon claims it's not because of the winner of the month). The 6OP team are joined by the 4 other draft captains - or at least, joined by Sam, Huw and Hocking, and whatever was inhabiting Couhig's body at the time. As we enter into the last full month of the OOM season, plenty to play for in the overall standings and the team draft, and pressure abounds. Listen to what is the pinnacle of podcasting glory (we've been nominated for an award, don't you know), featuring Pete on a boat, a live transfer window that definitely goes as smoothly as expected, Gav forgetting MTC plays golf, Huw caring more about his team than his own golf, and a bunch of instantly forgettable 50 facts. In addition, Gav wins yet ANOTHER Roost event, the entire Flock gets hustled by Craig Adams, and there's even a cheeky little competition…Send us a textButter Cut Social ClubGolf apparel and merch.

Oom es una voz respetada en temas de salud mental, crianza y liderazgo emocional, con formación en neurociencia cognitiva aplicada y experiencia clínica tanto en República Dominicana como en el extranjero. Nuestra conversación aborda sin filtros las complejidades de las relaciones de pareja, el impacto real de la biología en los roles de hombres y mujeres, y la importancia del padre en la formación emocional de los hijos. También exploramos cómo criar seres funcionales en una época donde las ideologías a menudo reemplazan el sentido común. Un episodio provocador, necesario y profundamente humano para cualquiera que quiera entender mejor su lugar en la pareja, la familia y la sociedad.

Lars Bendsen joins the spotlight to discuss how AC883 helps operators source turbine parts to cut costs and reduce downtime. AC883 can offer faster response times and better pricing than manufacturers based in Europe. Lars shares how his company's approach helps prevent extended turbine downtime by providing quick access to critical components. Fill out our Uptime listener survey and enter to win an Uptime mug!

Learn more about Weather Guard's StrikeTape Wind Turbine LPS retrofit. Follow the show on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Linkedin and visit Weather Guard on the web. And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Allen Hall: In the wind industry, a turbine standing still often means one thing, waiting for parts that should be readily available. This week on the uptime spotlight, we're joined by Lars Benson of AC 8 83, which is based in Canada. AC883 has direct connections to manufacturers in Denmark where most critical worm turbine components are actually produced Lars shares, house site operators can cut costs and dramatically reduce downtime by bypassing the OEM middleman and sourcing parts directly from the original suppliers. Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining Light on wind Energy's brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Lars, welcome back to the show. Thank you. Spare Parts is a huge issue all over the world, but it seems like in the US and Canada, there's always a shortage. They're looking for spare parts. They don't know where to get them, and the easy answer has been to call the original equipment manufacturer in terms of the GE Vestus Siemens, cesa, Nordex, whoever that may be, and just to place a order. There are other opportunities out there. What happens when a wind side in Texas just decides to buy from the wind turbine manufacturer? How much are they paying overpaying for that part? Lars Bendsen: I can't say exactly on on dollars and cents, but but we know the markup from the OEMs. Then they're not shy of earning money on that, those parts. And yeah, so it's very simple. We can get those parts directly from Europe directly from the suppliers to the OEMs. Allen Hall: Yeah. And if I'm an operator, and I haven't been over to Denmark to look at the situation there, a significant number of critical parts are actually manufactured in Denmark or in the surrounding areas. You have no way of knowing that if you own the turbine, Lars Bendsen: that's true. You don't. Somehow the OEMs have been really good and keeping a bit of cloud cloudy around that area. It's actually pretty simple. They all produced either in in Denmark and Germany for basically all turbines. GE turbines is a target turbine from Germany that that they bought back when. So that's why sim that's a German turbine as well. It's not a US turbine at all. Allen Hall: And the supply chain has remained that way for a long time. Lars Bendsen: It's a BP parts. It's standard parts. There's no rocket sites in it.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Questionable Narratives of "Situational Awareness", published by fergusq on June 17, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Introduction This is a response to the Situational Awareness essay series by Leopold Aschenbrenner. As a disclaimer, I am an AI pessimist, meaning that I don't believe there is evidence for AGI appearing any time soon. I do also believe that even if you are an AI optimist, you should view Aschenbrenner's text critically, as it contains numerous flawed arguments and questionable narratives, which I will go through in this post. The text has numerous dubious technical claims and flawed arguments, including misleading statements regarding RLHF[1], uncited claims of human intelligence[2], use of made-up units such as OOM[3] without any serious technical argumentation, use of made-up charts that extrapolate these made-up units, claims that current models could be "unhobbled"[4], and baseless claims such as that current AI is at the level of a preschooler or a high school student[5]. I have given some thoughts on these in the footnotes, although I don't consider myself the best person to criticize them. Instead, I will be focusing more on the narrative structure of the text, which I think is more important than the technical part. After reading this text, it gave me heavy propaganda-vibes, as if it were a political piece that tries to construct a narrative that aims to support certain political goals. Its technical argumentation is secondary to creating a compelling narrative (or a group of narratives). I will first go through the two most problematic narratives, the conspiracy-esque and US-centric narratives. Then, I will talk a bit about the technological narrative, which is the main narrative of the text. I stress that I don't necessarily believe that there is any malign intent behind these narratives, or that Aschenbrenner is trying to intentionally mislead people with them. However, I believe they should be pointed out, as I think these narratives are harmful to the AI safety community. The concepts of AGI and intelligence explosion are outlandish and suspicious to people not accepting them. Using narratives often utilized by bad-faith actors makes it easier for readers to just discard what is being said. Conspiracy narratives The text opens with a description of how the writer is part of a very small group of enlightened people who have learned the truth: Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. [...] Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride. This invokes a conspiracy theory narrative that the world is "asleep" and must "wake up", and only a small group of conspirators and enlightened individuals know what is really going on. This is then compared to real-life "conspiracies" such as the Manhattan project to draw credibility for such narratives while ignoring the clear differences to them, such that the Manhattan project was a highly-organized goal-directed attempt to construct a weapon, which is not remotely similar to the decentralized actors currently developing AI systems. Later in the text, a hypothetical "AGI Manhattan Project" is described, further trying to frame the current AI discussion as being similar to the discussion that happened the couple of years before the Manhattan project in real life. Again, this ignores the fact that AI is being researched by thousands of people across the world, both in universities and in companies, and it has clear commercial value, wh...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Scaling of AI training runs will slow down after GPT-5, published by Maxime Riché on April 26, 2024 on LessWrong. My credence: 33% confidence in the claim that the growth in the number of GPUs used for training SOTA AI will slow down significantly directly after GPT-5. It is not higher because of (1) decentralized training is possible, and (2) GPT-5 may be able to increase hardware efficiency significantly, (3) GPT-5 may be smaller than assumed in this post, (4) race dynamics. TLDR: Because of a bottleneck in energy access to data centers and the need to build OOM larger data centers. Update: See Vladimir_Nesov's comment below for why this claim is likely wrong, since decentralized training seems to be solved. The reasoning behind the claim: Current large data centers consume around 100 MW of power, while a single nuclear power plant generates 1GW. The largest seems to consume 150 MW. An A100 GPU uses 250W, and around 1kW with overheard. B200 GPUs, uses ~1kW without overhead. Thus a 1MW data center can support maximum 1k to 2k GPUs. GPT-4 used something like 15k to 25k GPUs to train, thus around 15 to 25MW. Large data centers are around 10-100 MW. This is likely one of the reason why top AI labs are mostly only using ~ GPT-4 level of FLOPS to train new models. GPT-5 will mark the end of the fast scaling of training runs. A 10-fold increase in the number of GPUs above GPT-5 would require a 1 to 2.5 GW data center, which doesn't exist and would take years to build, OR would require decentralized training using several data centers. Thus GPT-5 is expected to mark a significant slowdown in scaling runs. The power consumption required to continue scaling at the current rate is becoming unsustainable, as it would require the equivalent of multiple nuclear power plants. I think this is basically what Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are saying in public interviews. The main focus to increase capabilities will be one more time on improving software efficiency. In the next few years, investment will also focus on scaling at inference time and decentralized training using several data centers. If GPT-5 doesn't unlock research capabilities, then after GPT-5, scaling capabilities will slow down for some time towards historical rates, with most gains coming from software improvements, a bit from hardware improvement, and significantly less than currently from scaling spending. Scaling GPUs will be slowed down by regulations on lands, energy production, and build time. Training data centers may be located and built in low-regulation countries. E.g., the Middle East for cheap land, fast construction, low regulation, and cheap energy, thus maybe explaining some talks with Middle East investors. Unrelated to the claim: Hopefully, GPT-5 is still insufficient for self-improvement: Research has pretty long horizon tasks that may require several OOM more compute. More accurate world models may be necessary for longer horizon tasks and especially for research (hopefully requiring the use of compute-inefficient real, non-noisy data, e.g., real video). "Hopefully", moving to above human level requires RL. "Hopefully", RL training to finetune agents is still several OOM less efficient than pretraining and/or is currently too noisy to improve the world model (this is different than simply shaping propensities) and doesn't work in the end. Guessing that GPT-5 will be at expert human level on short horizon tasks but not on long horizon tasks nor on doing research (improving SOTA), and we can't scale as fast as currently above that. How big is that effect going to be? Using values from: https://epochai.org/blog/the-longest-training-run, we have estimates that in a year, the effective compute is increased by: Software efficiency: x1.7/year (1 OOM in 3.9 y) Hardware efficiency: x1.3/year ...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Improving SAE's by Sqrt()-ing L1 & Removing Lowest Activating Features, published by Logan Riggs Smith on March 15, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. TL;DR We achieve better SAE performance by: Removing the lowest activating features Replacing the L1(feature_activations) penalty function with L1(sqrt(feature_activations)) with 'better' meaning: we can reconstruct the original LLM activations w/ lower MSE & with fewer features/datapoint. As a sneak peak (the graph should make more sense as we build up to it, don't worry!): Now in more details: Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) reconstruct each datapoint in [layer 3's residual stream activations of Pythia-70M-deduped] using a certain amount of features (this is the L0-norm of the hidden activation in the SAE). Typically the higher activations are interpretable & the lowest of activations non-interpretable. Here is a feature that activates mostly on apostrophe (removing it also makes it worse at predicting "s"). The lower activations are conceptually similar, but then we have a huge amount of tokens that are something else. From a datapoint viewpoint, there's a similar story: given a specific datapoint, the top activation features make a lot of sense, but the lowest ones don't (ie if 20 features activate that reconstruct a specific datapoint, the top ~5 features make a decent amount of sense & the lower 15 make less and less sense) Are these low-activating features actually important for downstream performance (eg CE)? Or are they modeling noise in the underlying LLM (which is why we see conceptually similar datapoints in lower activation points)? Ablating Lowest Features There are a few different ways to remove the "lowest" feature activations. Dataset View: Lowest k-features per datapoint Feature View: Features have different activation values. Some are an OOM larger than others on average, so we can set feature specific thresholds. Percentage of max activation - remove all feature activations that are < [10%] of max activation for that feature Quantile - Remove all features in the [10th] percentile activations for each feature Global Threshold - Let's treat all features the same. Set all feature activations less than [0.1] to 0. It turns out that the simple global threshold performs the best: [Note: "CE" refers to the CE when you replace [layer 3 residual stream]'s activations with the reconstruction from the SAE. Ultimately we want the original model's CE with the smallest amount of feature's per datapoint (L0 norm).] You can halve the L0 w/ a small (~0.08) increase in CE. Sadly, there is an increase in both MSE & CE. If MSE was higher & CE stayed the same, then that supports the hypothesis that the SAE is modeling noise at lower activations (ie noise that's important for MSE/reconstruction but not for CE/downstream performance). But these lower activations are important for both MSE & CE similarly. For completion sake, here's a messy graph w/ all 4 methods: [Note: this was run on a different SAE than the other images] There may be a more sophisticated methods that take into account feature-information (such as whether it's an outlier feature or feature frequency), but we'll be sticking w/ the global threshold for the rest of the post. Sweeping Across SAE's with Different L0's You can get widly different L0's by just sweeping the weight on the L1 penalty term where increasing the L0 increases reconstruction but at the cost of more, potentially polysemantic, features per datapoint. Does the above phenomona extend to SAE's w/ different L0's? Looks like it does & the models seems to follow a pareto frontier. Using L1(sqrt(feature_activation)) @Lucia Quirke trained SAE's with L1(sqrt(feature_activations)) (this punishes smaller activations more & larger activations less) and anecdotally noticed less of these smaller, unintepreta...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Originality vs. Correctness, published by alkjash on December 6, 2023 on LessWrong. I talk with Alkjash about valuing original thinking vs getting things right. We discuss a few main threads: What are the benefits of epistemic specialisation? What about generalism? How much of the action in an actual human mind is in tweaking your distribution over hypotheses and how much over making sure you're considering good hypotheses? If your hope is to slot into an epistemic process that figures out what's correct in part by you coming up with novel ideas, will processes that are out to get you make you waste your life? Intellectual generals vs supersoldiers Over time I've noticed that I care less and less about epistemic rationality - i.e. being correct - and more and more about being original. Of course the final goal is to produce thoughts that are original AND correct, but I find the originality condition more stringent and worth optimizing for. This might be a feature of working in mathematics where verifying correctness is cheap and reliable. Huh that feels like an interesting take. I don't have a super strong take on originality vs. correctness, but I do think I live my life with more of a "if you don't understand the big picture and your environment well, you'll get got, and also the most important things are 10000x more important than the median important thing, so you really need to be able to notice those opportunities, which requires an accurate map of how things work in-aggregate". Which like, isn't in direct conflict with what you are saying, though maybe is. I think I have two big sets of considerations that make me hesitant to optimize for originality over correctness (and also a bunch the other way around, but I'll argue for one side here first): The world itself is really heavy-tailed and having a good understanding of how most of the world works, while sacrificing deeper understanding of how a narrower slicer of the world works, seems worth it since behind every part of reality that you haven't considered, a crucial consideration might lurk that completely shifts what you want to be doing with your life The obvious example from an LW perspective is encountering the arguments for AI Risk vs. not and some related considerations around "living in the most important century". But also broader things like encountering the tools of proof and empirical science and learning how to program. The world is adversarial in the sense that if you are smart and competent, there are large numbers of people and institutions optimizing to get you to do things that are advantageous to them, ignoring your personal interests. Most smart people "get got" and end up orienting their lives around some random thing they don't even care about that much, because they've gotten their OODA loop captured by some social environment that makes it hard for them to understand what is going on or learn much about what they actually want to do with their lives. I think navigating an adversarial environment like this requires situational awareness and broad maps of the world, and prioritizing originality over correctness IMO makes one substantially more susceptible to a large set of attacks. Some quick gut reactions that I'll reflect/expand on: I think the world is not as heavy-tailed for most human utility functions as you claim. Revealed preferences suggest that saving the world is probably within an OOM as good (to me and most other people) as living ten years longer, or something like this. Same with the difference between $1m and $1b. One of the core heuristics I have is that your perspective (which is one that seems predominant on LW) is one of very low trust in "the intellectual community," leading to every individual doing all the computations from the ground up for themselves. It feels to...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: XPT forecasts on (some) Direct Approach model inputs, published by Forecasting Research Institute on August 21, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post was co-authored by the Forecasting Research Institute and Rose Hadshar. Thanks to Josh Rosenberg for managing this work, Zachary Jacobs and Molly Hickman for the underlying data analysis, Kayla Gamin for fact-checking and copy-editing, and the whole FRI XPT team for all their work on this project. Special thanks to staff at Epoch for their feedback and advice. Summary Superforecaster and expert forecasts from the Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (XPT) differ substantially from Epoch's default Direct Approach model inputs on algorithmic progress and investment: InputEpoch (default)XPT superforecasterXPT expertNotesBaseline growth rate in algorithmic progress (OOM/year)0.21-0.650.09-0.20.15-0.23Current spending ($, millions)$60$35$60Yearly growth in spending (%)34%-91.4%6.40%-11%5.7%-19.5% Epoch: 80% confidence interval (CI) XPT: 90% CI, based on 2024-2030 forecasts Epoch: 2023 estimate XPT: 2024 median forecast Epoch: 80% CI XPT: 90% CI, based on 2024-2050 forecasts Note that there are no XPT forecasts relating to other inputs to the Direct Approach model, most notably the compute requirements parameters. Taking the Direct Approach model as given and using relevant XPT forecasts as inputs where possible leads to substantial differences in model output: OutputEpoch default inputsXPT superforecaster inputsXPT expert inputsMedian TAI arrival yearProbability of TAI by 2050Probability of TAI by 2070Probability of TAI by 2100 2036 2065 2052 70% 38% 49% 76% 53% 65% 80% 66% 74% Note that regeneration affects model outputs, so these results can't be replicated directly, and the TAI probabilities presented here differ slightly from those in Epoch's blog post. Figures given here are the average of 5 regenerations. Epoch is drawing on recent research which was not available at the time the XPT forecasters made their forecasts (the XPT closed in October 2022). Most of the difference in outputs comes down to differences in forecasts on baseline growth rate in algorithmic progress and yearly growth in spending, where XPT forecasts differ radically from the Epoch default inputs (which extrapolate historical trends). XPT forecasters' all-things-considered transformative artificial intelligence (TAI) timelines are much longer than those which the Direct Approach model outputs using XPT inputs: Source of 2070 forecastXPT superforecasterXPT expertDirect Approach model53%65%XPT postmortem survey question on probability of TAI by 20703.75%16% If you buy the assumptions of the Direct Approach model, and XPT forecasts on relevant inputs, this pushes timelines out by two to three decades compared with the default Epoch inputs. However, it still implies TAI by 2070. It seems very likely that XPT forecasters would not buy the assumptions of the Direct Approach model: their explicitly stated probabilities on TAI by 2070 are

Sometimes the transformation from word to acronym is so extreme that some words even end up changing their gender!
