I'm getting concerned that even researchers who know better are anthropomorphising GPT-3 in their descriptions of it's output.
MRI implements a write barrier. You can check out the write barrier implementation here:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/7bd93293621b85a87e7e117317612bb0a84efb7a/gc.c#L7802

The behavior for writes on a black object is defined in this function:

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/7bd93293621b85a87e7e117317612bb0a84efb7a/gc.c#L7766

Basically when a black -> white reference is written during incremental marking, the white object will be grey'd and added to the mark stack.

Happy Thursday!
Will these additional features increase the utility of the gun? Not as far as i can see. Then the answer must be that the gun increases the utility of the software. I'm not sure that turning an instrument of death into a toy is a wise idea. I know many guns are fired in sport, but the reality remains that its just your gun and your target. Will augmenting that reality reduce the gravity of firing a weapon at a live being? Am i taking this too seriously?

Don't worry Apple , Google is probably going to kill it at some point.
In many states, DMVs are private enterprises that are provided a license by the state to conduct business. I think one way you can tell is if the the DMV handles titles or there's a title office in an annex forcing you to wait in line twice.

A relative of mine runs a few DMVs in my area.
Completely agree. I've found that these kinds of questions select for people with good memorization skills more than for people with depth of experience. I would rather someone could tell me the trade offs between different solutions than solve a brain teaser.
Well if you’re ever in the Detroit area, stop by Ford’s Greenfield Village and they’ll happily give you rides in their Model T fleet. If you want to sit up front and ask questions, they’ll be glad to show you how to drive it (but not let you drive it - you need to get your own).
> The ISRG's approach of working directly with maintainers to support REWRITING tools and libraries incrementally falls directly in line with our perspective here at Google.

So, its not enough that anybody that don't want to rewrite millions of lines of code in Rust because its just pure insanity, need to be constantly harassed and forced to feel ashamed (or feel even feel guilt) because "how in the world you did not did this code in Rust"

Now there's a whole INSTITUTION to funnel the scarce resources, not by fixing the security bugs but by forcing others to Rewrite Everything In Rust® or else they will have their popular projects hijacked by highly paid engineers from companies with unlimited financial resources to rewrite the whole thing in Rust leaving the maintainers of the original project eating dust if the don't conceive?

If this is not going to support the source code maintainers to patch the bugs in whatever technology they are using, this is the Rust bullying that used to be just annoying social dynamics, being take into another level.

Daniel Stenberg and libcurl will be exemplary nailed so others feel more inclined to follow or else see their projects being taken out of their hands if they do not consent.

Imagine if you are a open source maintainer with scarce resources, being approached by an institution that promise you to give you some funds, but only if you show a plan to rewrite the whole thing in Rust?

Edit: Just follow the Stenberg tweeter if you are curious https://twitter.com/bagder to see all the pressure this guy have being taken lately.

>off-the-shelf processor that has hardware support for doing that kind of cross-checking on every instruction.

it is usually done with COTS CPU by either running the CPUs in lockstep (the simpler early generations of CPU) or by inserting hardware checkpoints at various points like branches, by number of instructions, etc. A recent such commercial system was the triple Itanium from Tandem/NonStop(HP).
I don’t think legislation is needed for that. Many publishers already allow you to publish your pre-print. Examples (leaving out some restrictions, but I think these are the gist of the policies)

https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/sharing#preprint:

“Preprint

Authors can share their preprint anywhere at any time.

If accepted for publication, we encourage authors to link from the preprint to their formal publication via its Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Millions of researchers have access to the formal publications on ScienceDirect, and so links will help your users to find, access, cite, and use the best available version.

Authors can update their preprints on arXiv or RePEc with their accepted manuscript.”

https://www.springer.com/gp/open-access/preprint-sharing/167...

“Springer journals encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms.

[…]

Authors may choose any license of their choice for the preprint including Creative Commons licenses.”

So, if you know the title of a paper, you often can find a preprint, if the authors are willing to make the effort to put them on a site.
>I want to point out that a big part of building anything on GPT-3 (or other large LMs for that matter) is "prompt engineering", which means you try out thousands of prompts and sampling parameters until you find something that works reasonably well for your use case.

As someone who is instinctively skeptical about these language models, this kind of statement makes my antennae twitch. You have this black box model that generates all sort of plausible outputs, you jiggle the handle until those outputs meet your expectations for some range of tested inputs, and then ... you assume it's just going to work?

For parlor tricks, or even low-stakes real world activities that might be enough - but how can you trust it?
> three people got confused about what they needed to do, and they all thought they completed their task successfully when they didn't.

> For example, before actually sending any transaction there could be a screen saying: - Summary of transaction - X$ will be sent to account XYZ - X$ will be sent to account ABC

These sums up what I think too. I get that internal software is more complex, and bank transaction are also complex, but when three people checked it, though it was good to go and didn't realize a mistake until the next day, that's a problem.

Showing a summary of how much is being sent to where, and how much is going to stay in the account is the minimum I would expect for a finance software that's used to transfer millions of dollars in a single action.
No, this is a common misconception about deck.gl. deck.gl is completely independent from other frameworks, however deck.gl is more geared towards data visualization, so it's commonly paired with other frameworks that focus on a vector basemap.

There are examples [0] of pairing deck.gl with either Mapbox GL JS or Google Maps. It's also easy to use deck.gl with the open source Mapbox GL JS port [1]. Also if you're ok with a bitmap basemap, you can just render OSM tiles with deck.gl directly [2].

(Also I guess good to disclaim that I'm a maintainer of deck.gl )

> Likewise I don't care that Google knows what I searched for, or that Twitter knows what I tweeted, or that LinkedIn has my employment history. What I don't want is all of that being sold to Cambridge Analytica to then aggregate and sell on to someone else for goodness knows what purposes.

So you don't like Cambridge Analytica, but Google, Twitter and LinkedIn using your data for goodness know what purposes is fine? I'm pretty sure they're running all that data through all sorts of machine learning algorithms and some of that might be used at some point for surveillance and censorship purposes or dystopian stuff in general. Not might, will be, if already isn't. Because you'd have to be stupid to have this amount of data and not use it to further your political agenda.
I was unpleasantly surprised the first (and so far only) time I drove a stick with an indicator on the dash that would light when the computer thought it was time for me to shift.

I think I’d have to place electrical tape over those indicators.

He lucked into a ten-sigma event. That’s luck even if you had the call right. Then he held onto the gains for internet points. That last bit is what gets me the most. This guy doesn’t even compare to some of the epic retail traders we had in the past. Look up cissan_9984.
This was extremely refreshing, albeit very concerning to read.

The recent track record of curl shows it has zero reported memory safety issues recently. Reading the article and the old linked research you'd be mislead.

It also states that Rust completely prevents them - it does not. The article talks about mitigation, but also says: "would have been completely prevented by using a memory-safe language". The "completely prevented" claim in the article is the one not supported by current research. If you only read this article, you'd be mislead about memory safety in Rust.
There were documented procedures:

> The Fund Sighting Manual explains that, in order to suppress payment of a principal amount, “ALL of the below field[s] must be set to the wash account: FRONT[;] FUND[; and] PRINCIPAL”

and checklists:

> Raj then emailed Fratta, seeking final approval under the six-eye review process, explaining “NOTE: Principal set to Wash and Interest Notice released to Investors.”

and confirmations:

> which prompted a warning on his computer screen — referred to as a “stop sign” — stating: “Account used is Wire Account and Funds will be sent out of the bank. Do you want to continue?” But “The ‘stop sign’ did not indicate the amount that would be ‘sent out of the bank,’

To answer your question "Why were these 3 employees left to assume they were using the tool correctly, rather than referring to a definitive documented procedure that would give them the answer for sure?" My guess is that the manual is a million pages long and incredibly confusing.

My takeaway from this is that you can't train and document your way out of a core human factors issue. Your point about SQL queries is apt; that's why you don't just give humans access to prod.
Demo of GPT3 and TextToSpeech Used for Game NPC AI
It was really interesting. I saw the discussions about it where zzzeek was like, “oh, what, I could kinda just make this wrapper thing. Wait, what am I missing here? Nope, it works”

It was a late entry into the transition rather than a planned thing from what I could tell.

We are currently seeking a Marketing Manager to join the Forge Biologics team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a high growth gene therapy manufacturing company based in Columbus, OH.
Safari has separate processes.
Another characteristic of this topic is that people from different camps keep talking past each other, and the discussion goes in circles.

What you propose is basically identical to Regehr's "Proposal for a Friendly Dialect of C". What's different in 2021 that will make it succeed now when it failed in 2014? If anything, there's less interest now, as there are viable alternatives and increased investment in tools that work with standard C.

Small bugs are being fixed. One of the most surprising is that shift-left of a negative number was UB (a fact that would be shocking to anyone in the semi-portable camp, who would reasonably expect to to compile to SAL on x86). Fortunately, this (ETA: hopefully) will be fixed in C2x.

ETA: As of N2596, it's still not fixed in the C2x draft. There certainly have been proposals to fix it, and I thought it had been agreed upon, but if so, it hasn't found its way into the draft yet. In the mean time, good luck shifting those negative integers!
It's a good way to operate.

Cap the profits at something like 10% which is enough to maintain good operation and provide the city with a good reason to continue service. It might be a good idea to prohibit the muni from selling any portion of the service to a third party.
The stock market is zero sum as well... When one person wins, another loses.

Are people buying Google, Facebook and Amazon stock suckers as well?
Thanks! Still confused, but just a little less. Seems like the opaque maze linking PBM's, insurance consumers and discount platform like GoodRX keep the real cost for each drug hidden from one or the other, so one doesn't really know how much they are making, and pharmacies are too afraid to lose the PBM network to challenge status quo. Not sure why government allowed this process to last this long, and not just step in, and regulate pricing for each drug.
He's in a complicated situation where he has to prove himself to not be a foolish internet meme-er worthy of throwing under the bus.

His opening statement _really_ worked to declare that he is a person, a person of value, a person of intelligence and a person that did his actions and purchase of the stock with meaning and genuine belief in the company.

I, an ignorant bystander, was impressed.
This isn't a feeling of injustice. This is a direct action by a CEO and his company that by all standards meets the definition of insider trading.

>>> The illegal practice of trading on the stock exchange to one's own advantage through having access to confidential information.

These guys had access to confidential information, and they prevented trading, and allowed specific trading that was to their own advantage.

This is a near textbook example of insider trading except that it wasn't the CEO who directly made the advantageous trades. But that makes no difference. This activity fits both the definition and the spirit of insider trading.
I've got you beat. :) I'm using a Model M from '86 and I have PC-AT -> PS/2 -> USB dongles. Still works great, though.
As far as I know witnesses submit their testimony in written form ahead of time.
The thing it doesn't look like we are actually erasing the device but a volume group inside it. I say that because there seems to be a protected partition that contains the OS installer. I could be wrong tho but I've reinstalled at least 2 systems like that.
Literally every post about one of these companies has a comment like this. The issue for companies like AirBNB is not that their application is necessarily bafflingly complex (though it is absolutely true that, especially during the nosql era, amazingly baroque and bizarre architectures had a heyday) but that operating reliably at scale is hard, requires good decisionmaking on multiple dimensions, and requires attention to things that "just CRUD app" doesn't capture because none of them actually matter at low scale.
There are the ARM Cortex-R series of processors which have two cores running in lockstep for fault tolerance.
In the end of the day only Rust will be chosen because we are talking mostly about system infrastructure.
It’s fun to see how Lithuanians fucked up their own nuclear power plant, basically murdered their own cheap energy production, then had to buy electricity from other countries and stage drills to pretend they closed their own station “for good”.
But this is something you could just use a hp search for, right, to determine the amount of models? Or are hp searches generally not used anymore at that scale?
Interesting, never thought of a manual transmission as a security device but I suppose it is a minor but growing hurdle.
As an employer / hiring manager yes, it's crazy. I dont want ANY of my candidates studying for my interviews. It will give me false positives.

Instead I want them to come as they are and show me their real skills.

I've always wondered how is it I Chemistry or biology fields? When you are interviewing for a position, do they ask you to balance a chem equation in the whiteboard or the optimal way to combine two carbon based constructs?
Eventually we all have to die of something. Evolution does a great job optimizing for protecting us against ailments that kill us before breeding age, but a pretty crap job of keeping us safe from things that kill us in old age.
Cancer is a major cause of death as we age because it gets more likely the older you get. You can certainly take steps to avoid making yourself extraordinarily vulnerable (don't hang out around tons of radiation, wear sunblock, don't smoke, etc) but enjoying the smell of a new car seems unlikely to be the factor that suddenly means you will die of cancer.
The fact that they're illegal and you don't know the dose is why this happens though.
I didn't know about any liquidity issues. But of that's the case then yeah, this is just regulatory limits kicking in. Though one could make the argument that they should have banned the sale of all stocks, not just GME, AMC, and other stocks targeted by the reddit short squeeze.
Where I lived had a very low crime rate, similar to where I live right now.

The US has many parts where crime is much worse, such as Baltimore, Detroit or some parts of Chicago.
How much did this really cost them? It is essentially a prepayment for something they were already going to pay

So, given the time value of money this cost them closer to 2%/yr of that balance?
Ask HN: Converted a monolith to microservices? Did you quantify the savings?
I was talking to a friend of mine who is a grad student and is working on a thesis about microservices. She asked me if I ever quantified the savings gained by going from monolith to microservices.

And I realized, I never had. I just assumed it would be better because it would allow for quicker deployments and smaller surfaces for bug triage.

And there are a ton of articles that talk about how microservices save you money over a monolith, but none include hard numbers. And I suspect a lot of companies made the move simply based on these articles.

So my question is, has anyone ever quantified the savings (or costs!) of using microservices vs a monolith?
I didn't mean that it looks ugly- I take functionality over pretty design any time. The screenshot itself doesn't provide much info,but when combined with comment from the article,the who picture is pretty bleak tbh..
I've tried a few, and all have come up short. I'd miss Google Maps disappearing a lot.

I guess it depends on your particular usage of these apps. Gmail is my primary email so I'd miss it too if it went away, but I'd be able to transition over to say, hotmail/outlook or some other webmail service without too much disruption. Google Maps going away on the other hand, would be highly disruptive to me.
Mars Rover Landing Crash Course- Today
This is a mental model that produces security vulnerabilities.

Even after weathering real world usage for 20 years, you can absolutely be pwned by an adversary intelligently crafting hostile inputs or using fuzzers that are good at very quickly covering exotic corners of the input space. With surprisingly high probability. Remember that UB is largely a dynamic data dependent condition.
I recently read some have two gear ratios, one assigned to the motor in the front, another to the back.
It can be as deterministic as you want it to be -- there are parameters that control how much randomness is used during the sampling process. Finding the most probable sequence from the learned distribution is intractable for all but the shortest of sequences. As you've said, beam search is used, but this is just a local search heuristic and provides no guarantees of producing the most probable output.
> Governments have three ways to retire their debt

But very little reason to retire debt; there are arguably good reasons to try to manage the debt-to-GDP ratio within broad parameters over the long term, but mostly that is about trying to constrain the long-term growth rate of total debt below long-term economic growth rate, not reducing debt on an absolute basis.
There's really no good way if you're applying to big corporations. At smaller companies you'll usually get a feel for the people there based on how you feel during the interviews. You might even get to have lunch with the entire team if it's small enough.
That was then. Today you can get a fixed rate in the high 2% range. If rates rise as expected, it will be those who chose the fixed rates who will be OK, and those who chose variable will be screwed.
I think that your comment mostly proves the opposite point. I wouldn’t say that it’s only a ui/ux issue. However, I’d say that ui/ux is the best solution in this case (and most other cases)
There are limits to this.

A ten pound sledge hammer can be used to drive finishing nails in fine furniture but it would be absurd to claim that all the dented furniture coming out of your shop is a result of poorly trained workers rather than inadequate tooling.

A generic hammer, like this UI (at least, as much as is apparent from the screenshots in the article) can drive basically any nail. But specialized hammers exist for good reasons. This is equally applicable in software tools.

A good tool should enable you to do things you couldn't do without it but the best tools make it easier to do what you want and harder to do what you don't want.
