Is this supposed to make blockchain look bad or something? Everyone knows John Cleese doesn't own the Brooklyn Bridge. He could have also started a title company on paper and sold the "rights" to the Brooklyn Bridge as a printed certificate and I guess he would have made title companies look like bullshit. And distributed ledgers are still technically more secure than a bunch of trusted bank employees...if that's what you care about. You can place your trust in them on in yourself. Previously, only one of those options was possible. Just more anti-hype hype.
I don't see why you would drop the "E" otherwise. The name "Data Flower" would be better to me, this is needlessly confusing.
In before someone ports this to Rust.
None of the other models are even close to the big one, and the paper also suggests calling the big one "GPT-3". And people do that very often in practice. So it's often ambiguous but saying the term only means the architecture isn't right either.
For many practical applications, deterministic parallelism is hundreds of times slower than indeterminate computation.

For a proof, see the following article:

I think you might be reading this incorrectly. It might be not that every pregnancy had a 30% chance to kill a woman, but that the cause of death of 30% of women was child birth complications. E.g. 70% of women probably had many pregnancies and lived after, and in the other 30% some might have actually went through 2+ pregnancies before dying during one.
It's the innovator's dilemma[0][1], plain and simple. They generally can't innovate a new model that will cannibalize their existing business to a large extent, without intentionally creating a sub entity that is completely outside of the jurisdiction of the existing business.

Rich people have always spent lots of money on bullshit. That's nothing new.
I said they are not reallocating resources which would have gone towards those things. Unless the person buying the NFT has a greater chance of spending it on the poor than the person selling it, nothing has really changed as far as our spending on health, housing etc. goes.

All money does is decide how we allocate physical resources and labour. If it is just sitting in a bank, or being moved from one person to another, nothing is being taken away from the poor.
It's sad that these reusable engines (the test fired ones have flown lots of times and are super-reliable and battle tested) are going to be discarded on an expendable launcher.

There are only a handful of RS-25s left in existence, they're all going to be used, when some of them should be in a museum. NASA is ordering more, but Rocketdyne/Aerojet are claiming new ones will cost, I kid you not, $100 million per engine, more than the cost of Falcon Heavy launch -- for ONE engine.

How can this possibly be competitive with BE-4 that ULA is using, or the Raptor that's going to be used on Starship?

Rocketdyne is clearly defrauding the government here with massively inflated costs.
two process working with a shared actor share that state

I think this is where I disagree. They may share an actor but the state of the actor belongs to the actor. To say they share it implies they can always change it independently but that's not the case. Actors don't trample on each other's internal states. For example a simple mutex semaphore pattern fixes your race condition.

HTH.
Yeah, they're not going to prevent browsers running on multiple OSes, but they do abuse their position to prevent competing browsers. The OS doesn't matter now, the browser does. They can leverage their position to move the goal posts faster than the competition can run. So, it's still bad, it's just a different abstraction.
Could you explain? I think I missed something but am interested in your comment. Are you saying to use Solutide data to train a model that hopefully approaches Solitude-like decisions? What could such a model detect that Solitude could not?
The article mentions the Bob’s post, and criticizes him for reacting to the slides out of context—that is, without seeing the pub talk that the slides were from, or contacting Dan to understand what the slides were about.
yeah, that requirements.txt is a nightmare.
>This just seems like a manifestation of the class shift that happened in the internet era. Don't be an idiot - you don't work for youtube. (...) essentially what I'm saying is that this isn't an issue with youtube, it's a political issue about power dynamics in corporate and monopoly power, and these surface level outbursts seema little... naive

Well, what's naive is to think that these vloggers would even have an audience or income stream if they didn't start on YouTube (or a similar platform) where the eyeballs were.

Heck, even now with 600K people knowing about him and subscribed to him, if this guy moves off of YouTube, he is probably going to lose a big chunk of his audience and thus income.

So, the lecture about power dynamics etc is a little trite. Sure, if he could he would do it on his own terms, in his own website/domain, with his own 100% of the ad revenue and so on. But it's just not realistic below a certain level of audience, and often not as lucrative at any level.
I don't mind ads. I do however mind seeing the same Gra*erly ad 48,000 times over. Why does anyone think this is a good idea. Showing me the same ad so many times makes me not want to buy the product. Cut it out!
I was just thinking about this. Seems like it could also be great if the type system could make a distinction between vectors and dual vectors, alleviating "you got the wrong axis" errors. But maybe for something like that you really need vector space objects like in Sage.
Why do you think people will slowly react over decades rather than putting things off until the last possible moment when they have no choice but to adjust very quickly? If humanity could plan over decades without short term need driving them then climate change wouldn't be an issue in the first place.
> So the alternative to copying the message would be to use a cross-process reference in memory that GC has to take the extra step of looking at two processes per message

At what point do you decide to make a copy? What if you pass a subset of the data to process C, which stores a subset of that data, then later passes it to process D? If you don't copy the data at any point in this series of steps, you need full blown cross-process GC which is counter to their goal.
I think it is strange that, on the one hand, the tech world has been advocating for the rights of neurodivergent people – society should accept that people on the autism spectrum are different and that’s OK. But at the same time RMS has been attacked for some statements very probably stemming from his autism that, while they may seem a bit shocking and at odds with the mainstream, were not illegal or intentionally offensive.
Same, August. Very challenging and very rewarding. A lot of work and sleepless nights, but all worth it to see that tiny person smiling for just seeing you. Never though a toothless smile could be so cute.

> The Single Responsibility Principle says that code should only do one thing. Another framing is that it should have “one reason to change”. I called this the “Pointlessly Vague Principle”. What is one thing anyway? Is ETL – Extract-Transform-Load – one thing (a DataProcessor) or three things? Any non-trivial code can have any number of reasons to change, which may or may not include the one you had in mind, so again this doesn’t make much sense to me.

The strawman here is the fallacy that SOLID (SRtC) is clearly not saying that a software, composed of "code", should only do one thing. By that reasoning, SOLID rules out any software that provide multiple capabilities. Your editor, for example, has multiple capabilities. It can save. It can highlight. It can cut. It can paste.

So, a reasonable reading of SOLID naturally is not ruling out composing complex software using "simple single purpose code". However, OP is assuming a ridiculous reading (the strawman) that basically can only be valid for software that has only one irreducible capability.

One can read SOLID SRtC in terms of capability as "compose complex software using single purpose code".

One can read SOLID SRtC in terms of change as "changes to code should consist of one, or a sequential set of, single purpose changes".
It's in a loop
1. Make perfect FSD

2. Do something that not suitable for drive by human, like racing style steering,
I wish FSF also started caring about the developers. Free software was and is a great idea, but unintended consequence is that it also facilitates exploitation of software developers by big corporations who from the perspective of FSF are just users as regular people. This means they make billions off of a software who someone built in their rented flat, living a modest life, sometimes struggling with bills, meanwhile the execs spend their time choosing a new jet and on which Caribbean island this time will be a general meeting of the board.
FSF should start lobbying for royalty system for developers, so that big corporations using free software should have to pay % of revenue to all contributors of open source software they are using. Individuals and small companies would be exempt.
Yep I just rebooted it, too many hits at once, if it goes down again I'll upgrade the server lol
TL;DR: I'd like to see web notifications improved rather than abandoned because I think they are part of a suite of features that could provide important competition for native apps on mobile devices.

> Somehow, by the time it reaches any of my multiple inboxes it’s not 99% spam

Right. Email providers didn't fix spam by throwing away the ability to send unsolicited messages, they fixed it by looking at the behavior of bad actors and blocking it, and evolving the UX of email services to adapt ("Report Spam" buttons and the like). My comment above was intended to suggest that rather than demanding the industry throw out the feature that would allow a website to send notifications at all, they can instead invest in making the experience more streamlined for the user (fewer notifications, less intrusive request flow). They could even use some of the same techniques used in fighting spam, like allowing users to report sites that are abusive in how they ask for permission.

The subtext here is that I think progressive web apps have the potential to foster a more open online culture than can be achieved through app stores alone, and they also give the user more control over the experience, since they leverage the browser, which is a "user agent" in a way that that apps rarely (if ever) achieve. Adopting a stance that solidifies the current inadequacies of web apps pushes more users and developers to "app store apps", which tilt the balance of power towards app store owners and away from users and developers. I think that trend has already caused problems (Spotify, Fortnite, Librem Tunnel[0], etc.), and I don't see any reason the problems will lessen in the future.

It was designed by the therapist and me after seeing how progress from more generic PT sessions had plateaued short of our goal. Basically a high quantity of precise pressure and controlled movements that were, in her professional estimation, taken as far as possible without risking a regression due to damage or increased pain. My job was to communicate clearly and make clear that I valued progress over comfort at every choice. Quite intense and lengthy, and the 12 hours after had me unsure if her assessment was correct, but it worked out.
> Unreal Engine 4 is open source

Another small mistake here as well. The source is available to read and modify under license but it’s not open source
It’s been true before that the losing architecture can juice their numbers by making big hot chips that use tons of power. Intel is so far behind that this is strategy is hard to continue. They can keep in the conversation by giving you more cores for less dollars, but those are dire straits for the company.
> intentionally offensive

I think this is spot on, because people stopped caring about someone's intention before judging them. Maybe people got so good at lying about their intention, that we don't believe them when they say "it wasn't my intention" when someone says something bad. The end result is the same, it doesn't matter what your intention was, you say something bad, you deserve bad back.
I think this is an important problem. With logistic regression or deep learning, at least one can compare (out of sample) calibration curves or discrimination measures. With a language model, what can we do?

It wasn’t just a few statements. It is a constellation of issues that make him very hard to interact with.

Uh, it is a practical one as being described in this thread.

Simply because the source is openly available to read, the licence can still say "you can read but no touchy touchy or compiling it".

While technically it doesn't stop you from actually doing this, in a court of law you'd be found to have violated the licence. So it wrecks the idea of businesses doing it, because usually the licence holder won't care unless someone is making money from it.

Free software lets you do whatever you want, but you gotta show your code. Big difference in practice, especially when it comes to running a business.
I have a B.S. CS from NYU and I think I had 6 humanities, two specifically dealing with critically engaging with different and difficult ideas, 1 ethics, an additional writing course and two electives from what I recall. I imagine there are many more engineering degrees with requirements like mine. As an aside I also minored in philosophy and I know of multiple engineers who have done similar. I think painting with broad generalities does your point a disservice.

I'll also raise the point a lot more people simply don't care or don't believe these things to be unethical than I think a lot of people are willing to admit.
My current company has really good internal tooling, and it's opened my eyes to just how productive developers can be when there's good tooling. Whenever I switch jobs, I'll either have to find another company that has at least as good of tooling, or I'll have to build some myself. I don't want to work without good tooling anymore.
I wonder if an AI could fingerprint the writing style of a ghostwriter and identify them? The current anti-plagiarism tools are mostly algorithmic.

Then another AI could deep fake a students style based of their fingerprint. An ever-escalating battle between AIs.

Unless he finds someone who looks really similar, these international students should bring their passports/F1 visas? My guess is that the administration is turning a blind-eye because of the international $$.
Questions to ask yourself:

1. Where are you most valuable to your business? Where is your time least valuable?

2. Where are you lacking experience or expertise? Where are the holes in your business value to customers?

3. Where are there opportunities for collaborative synergies? How does your business get to the next level?

The answers to these questions will help you to identify one or more opportunities for delegation and/or collaboration. And remember, delegation is also a job—it takes time to work with someone else, so plan for that.

The goal is to get 1 + 1 = 3.
If you insist on micromanaging instead of delegating or collaborating, you will get 1 + 1 = 1.5
I can't take credit for posting those links. They were good though.
The success is part of the art. A highschool kid scribbling "this is not a pipe" next to a pipe in his notebook is not the same as an accomplished artist convincing a gallery to feature it in an exhibition.
Again, maybe it was "hard to interact with him" only if one was unwilling to accept his difference?
FSF always looked scary to me...

this is a board that unify and welcome free softwares from different kind of licenses...

FSF were founded by RMS which GNU is part of it and GNU is also founded by RMS.

If you like this kind of stuff, I highly recommend also just going on Google maps, picking some remote corner of the world, dropping the guy down and just having a walk around.

It has provided me endless entertainment over the years.
I meant more as for non-trivial classes when people are deciding when to break up a class the "single responsibility" part is too loosely defined to the point where I've never seen people actually use it as a metric. I agree classes can grow too large the hard part is what rubric actually used for delineating it and just saying "single responsibility" really hasn't by itself been useful.
I don't think this would go quite how you expect. Consider that Peter Thiel is a popularizer of Rene Girard.
A responsibility is an obligation to perform a task or know information (authoritatively). If an object performs two tasks, it has two responibilities, and so on.

For example, an Entity part of the persistence layer in the app, has the responsibility to persist the state of the Entity to the database, but the responsibility to know the information is with an object that is part of the business logic layer. The information that is stored in the Entity to be able to persist it to the DB is just a cache of the information in the Business Object, the Entity is not responsible for it, it just holds a cache. If the same object would be responsible for both holding the information and persisting it, it would have 2 responsibilities.

This might sound somewhat confusing and useless, but it isn't so. Imagine a future where computers have a form of RAM that is not volatile. There is no need for a database, in the classical sense – whatever is in RAM when the computer is powered off/rebooted will still be there when the program resumes running.

Can you imagine if this happened when there was no Internet, Mobile phones, Long Distance still existed, no Satellite TV, etc? I grew up like that (Rural Farm) and there were periods of months during the summer I just read books, and wandered around outside and didn't see another kid for what seemed an eternity. If I complained my parents would find me some work to do. My wife thinks I'm normal so I guess it turned out ok, didn't need any mental therapy or anything.

My impression was that current unusually high interesting in NFT caused gas prices to spike. When I was playing with it for work reasons ( compliance ), it was around $50 for attempting to put my creations up for a bid ( I just checked today, gas fee is $103 ).

> I'll express another one: I think the whole thing about "ZOMG! Suicide rates through the roof!!!elevelty!1!" is blown out of proportion

Tacky childish mocking of valid concern over the mental health of children, some of whom are truly not doing well, is a garbage take. There are kids crying on a daily basis because of this Zoom shit and the expectations placed on them. While they will (likely) survive, it’s not good for them. I’ve seen kids test scores decline, parents enduring outright mutiny and violence from their children. I’ve seen single parents trying to work from home while their kids, who were already struggling when they had someone to pay attention to them, are screaming at the top of their lungs and breaking things.

Mental health issues can persist even in privileged circumstances, and deserves our concern. The existence of worse suffering doesn’t make current circumstances magically better. In a way, your take feels like the mental health counterpart to ‘it’s just the flu’ style arguments.

I also believe that, during wartime, a lot of children were able to go outside and play with other children.

Maybe I haven't seen enough but I never noticed senior engineers "pushed" to management in BigCos. It's usually someone who specifically optimizes for org climbing, trying to get the manager and the skip to identify them as a "potential" manager.

BigCos in my domain seem more than happy keeping you in a terminal senior engineer role.
