> "The service can be rewritten and redeployed in 2 weeks." , Jon Eaves

I disagree with this statement. At that complexity level (be rewrittable and redeployable within 2 weeks), there will be an absolutely enormous set of microservices for any non-trivial application. Maintaining such a large set becomes a monumental challenge for local development in any company with more than a handful of teams.

Furthermore, I'm not convinced that all problems can be decomposed down into rewrittable-in-2-weeks chunks in a truly clean way.
Just for fun and to make a point, I threw your reply into Talk to Transformer.

> This is something so many people miss when trying test the limitations of GPT-2. It just doesn't make sense to test it on strings of text that nobody ever writes. To me, the best way to evaluate the usefulness of GPT-2 is to compare it to some actual test that validates a lot of its claims. So... let's do just that.

It might be just chance, but gee -- is this text referring to its own generation as a test to convey a point? The self-referentiality is formidable.
Not necessarily. It is true that the industrial civilizations we know of, considered on a consolidated planetary short-recent-history level, have launched satellites in geostationary orbits. But we can not logically infer from this that only the ones we know of have launched satellites in geostationary orbits. There may be ones that have launched geostationary satellites which we do not know of.
It wouldn't be, they're almost certainly doing something wrong on the back end. I sent identical requests on multiple IPs spaced out over some time, and each one of them returned as being "unique". Even though the e.g. UA values were in fact the same. I suspect some kind of aggressive dedupe of things that look too similar, or some such.
So many recent ones from mosquitoes, dengue or chikungunya.

More than almost any other near future technology, I hope for humanity's sake we quickly perfect a way to eradicate that demon insect.

This is a fine definition of understanding.

However, I don't understand why we're leaping to "first-grader" as a low level of intelligence. That level of general intelligence in a machine would be a monumental achievement, I would think.

I also don't understand why you think responding to arithmetic problems, via parsing natural language, while neither being designed to perform arithmetic nor trained on it directly would be "simple".

It's not fair to say the words convey "no information", they do convey information, just not information that is useful to you. There is a ton of information in the structure of the words it generates, and it is often semantically and syntactically correct, and both of those contain information.

This is clearly not particularly useful, but it does demonstrate some sort (and I would argue your sort) of understanding.

The question is not whether it understands math and language as well as a first grader, it's whether it understands anything at all.
>Sorry, but social networks are made of people, without the people you don't have a product.

This is an insane reply, nothing about that post made it sound like they thought otherwise.

>He's trying to say that because important people create the community then that's the most important thing to the product in this case.

That's not what the grandparent said at all. He was saying almost the opposite, that Tiktok owes its success to "...its strategy to take on the world with the freshest possible generation of users..." whom it wooed by offering a fresh social media environment, free of important people, where they wouldn't feel like they were "...competing against those who were already established."

Their core point was that TikTok's success was because of its marketing strategy, not because of its features, which is what the person you replied to was contesting. No one was arguing against whatever strawman you were building with quotes.

Primarily: walking around with $50,000 of cash makes me feel a lot more nervous than walking around with $100. There are other ways of paying for things than credit cards or cash of course. My point is mostly just that I understand cash isn't necessarily ideal for all circumstances.
I think you might be confused about "bats being eaten". A theory on SARS is that it was spread by bats eating fruit, leaving guano on it, civets eat the guano-laced fruit, people eat the civets. Just because bats are an important part of the vector doesn't mean that people are eating them directly. I haven't seen anyone claim, for example, that live bats were actually sold at the Wuhan wet markets. But civets are, illegally.
In Asia people eat a lot of really weird stuff for us Westerners. I live in Thailand with my Thai girlfriend.

I don't understand why my girlfriend likes to eat various kinds of insects and larva and why people in my village like to eat a pigs' brains. Yesterday my girlfriend showed me a YouTube movie of a Chinese girl eating a live octopus. I also know some people like to eat snakes around here.

Different strokes for different folks and all that.

Also Tik Tok launched outside of China only in 2017, much too late for the supposed 11 to 15 year olds to turn 18 to 21 as implied by the GP's comment :-)

The thing people miss about why TikTok (and WeChat for that matter) are so good is that they're born in the gladiatorial world of the largest and most competitive mobile app market in the world that is China. I know my marketers there work with not just douyin (the original Chinese app of TikTok) but also 4-5 other short video platforms. The pace of innovation in Mobile apps in China is something not matched anywhere else in the world.

They glaced over nuclear war a little too quickly. While I'm not an expert, I've heard many times that a significant nuclear exchange between countries would likely result in so much debris being thrown into the atmosphere it would cause a nuclear winter. This could lead to a full blown ice age, mass extinctions, etc...

Surely those "side effects" of the bombs would be measurable far longer than the radiation. We know of past super volcanic eruptions and the dinosaurs' extinction because of similar circumstances.

Why? There is an open question of societal benefit versus personal benefit regarding how PID is tracked and used, to say nothing of the actual ownership of that PID (if you walk into a store's private property and their security cameras record an image of your face while you're standing in their private property, do you own that image? Why should you? You're in their property and it was recorded with a camera they own on to media they own).

The Haskell documentation generation tool is named haddock. It comes with GHC. I've never run it standalone, so I don't know how involved that is. But I frequently run it with the command "cabal haddock", which takes care of telling it where all your source files are and where to drop the output.
Actually, the convention is really simple, when they follow it. It goes [model line] [Screen size] [Intel CPU generation] [0 for intel, 5 for AMD CPU of same vintage] + Yoga if flippy

> Several media outlets have confirmed that the "seafood market" actually sells a wide variety of wildlife meat

I'm sorry, but as I've said numerous times, the specific claim that I was disputing was that the commenter above claimed that they had an article stating that bat consumption was the "most probable". In fact, the article you linked specifically says what I'm saying. Namely, don't speculate!

> The West Blames the Wuhan Coronavirus on China’s Love of Eating Wild Animals. The Truth Is More Complex

Wonder what this could mean?

> The 2002-2003 SARS pandemic was eventually traced to civet cats sold in a similar style of wet market in southern Guandong province, and some foreign tabloids are circulating unsubstantiated claims that the Wuhan coronavirus originated from everything from bat soup to eating rats and live wolf pups.

This certainly doesn't sound like Time magazine is speculating that bat consumption is the "most probable" cause to me.

> However, Adam Kamradt-Scott, associate professor specializing in global health security at the University of Sydney, says this way of thinking is often flawed. While scientists first thought that Ebola started with the consumption of bat meat in a village of south-eastern Guinea, they now believe that the two-year-old girl known as Child Zero was likely infected via bat droppings that contaminated an object she put in her mouth. MERS was also primarily spread from live camels to humans through association, rather than the eating of camel meat.

This, rather, seems to support my claim that we shouldn't speculate on things that we don't have any information or expertise about.
That is still 98% quarantine rate and should significantly reduce the chance the infection will establish in other cities.
Ok then how about if people went back to writing checks? Eliminates both of those issues without the additional finance charges. That would however provide personal information to the retailer, unless the check was somehow de-identified (like an on-demand money order or something).

This is indeed how certain language runtimes generate null pointer exceptions. It would be too slow to add comparisons against null to every use of a pointer. So they handle SIGSEGV and raise the exception if the faulting access is on the null page.

Interesting side question: if you have a struct bigger than a page, and you dereference the end of it... How big does it have to be to not get this behavior?
Bazel’s rules_docker (https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker) is also capable of stomping out container images without using a Docker daemon. It also has its own freestanding pusher.

Rulesets like rules_go (https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go) also support pretty decent cross compilation, meaning that you can, for example, build Linux containers containing Go microservices on your Mac and push them into a registry immediately. All without running VMs/Docker daemons/... on your Mac.

> I’m struck here by an analogy to the Linux kernel. Kernel developers often use “time to build the kernel” as a go-to benchmark when proposing kernel optimizations, because it’s a performance-intensive benchmark that every kernel developer, by construction, has readily at hand. Not coincidentally, the Linux kernel is drastically faster than any other production kernel I know of for certain operations that kernel builds exercise heavily, such as filesystem lookups. I think there’s a general lesson here that converting some desirable system property into a direct personal pain point for developers of the system creates very powerful feedback loops to ensure that property.

Nice observation. It's a generalization of how devs with slow computers write more efficient code.

What's more likely?

An amazing coincidence:

- The origin of this novel disease is 20 miles from a research lab.
- The research lab is actively studying zoonotic viruses.
- The genome suggests a ~10 years lineage from the closest bat coronavirus (96% identical). This strain of Bat coronavirus has gone under the radar for that long?
- Despite the numerous mutations it has the exact same envelope protein to that closest bat coronavirus. This is extremely unusual even for closely related viruses.
- China is 'overreacting': has quarantined 50 million people, stationed armed guards in hazmat suits and is scrambling to build overflow hospitals.

OR

Someone responsible for disposing of test animals (bats) decided instead to make a quick buck selling them to a market 20 miles down the street?

Amazon will dominate cloud computing with these server CPUs. Who can compete with vertical integration at the sheer scale of AWS? AWS usage patterns tell them exactly what to accelerate with silicon. A process that has been largely driven by Intel will be replaced by a process driven by the customer workloads themselves. These processors will only get better with time.

I understand what you're saying about conflicting value systems, but you're flat-out wrong that what the author describes is indoctrination. The key word from the definition is "uncritically".

Here's the key part of what you've quoted:

> they learn to think for themselves, that they ask a lot of questions, that they question authority,

All that is the opposite of "accepting uncritically".

It is a specific mutation of the virus, that is able to infect lungs and spread by making you sneeze. The mechanism that makes you sick is also the way to spread for the virus.

One interesting point was they had tried to discourage these markets in the past and replace them with supermarkets, but people didn't want to switch. These markets offered food cheaper, people like them, they might offer opportunities to socialize, and they offer wild animals which are traditionally viewed as healthy and a sign of wealth.

Of course, the Chinese government can do a more authoritarian crackdown on it than what they tried in the past. Also, maybe this outbreak could change public opinion.
