I worked at a company that acquired expage.com, which was a late 90s/early 00s homepage builder.

The entire site was a single C source file littered with embedded HTML, a few separate HTML files for things like an FAQ, and a directory of compressed user page data in some proprietary format (including images) that was decompressed on-the-fly. Served over Apache with some CGI magic.

I tried to comment here previously, but I dont see it posted. It was about the meaning of 'open' and whether the question of suffering and freedom of the AIs was being taken into ethical consideration, not just the ability of humans to use them as tools for their own possibly paper-clippy purposes.

Huh. I never considered text alignment like that. Mind => Blown.
Premise 1: Any arbitrary 4D volume in spacetime (i.e., one connected component wrt physical interactions) can be considered a system.

Premise 2: https://xkcd.com/505/

Conclusion: Every system, open or closed, is computational in a certain rigorous sense of implementing dynamics along the space dimensions (versus inputs, via transformations, into outputs) and demonstrating dynamics along the time dimension (flux of the energy+information carried through its constituent parts).

If we can create a "computer" using rocks in a binary-ish encoding, surely we can implement "computers" in more efficient encodings that utilize certain properties of physical reality.

We as humans began to approach this with mechanical computers using complex linkages, but only got so far before we decided on digital (binary) encoding and then enshrined that in silicon. To be sure, binary is a very effective way of organizing computation given our physical implementation(s), but most likely there are way more efficient ways of doing things.

One fascinating direction we are beginning to explore to achieve more efficient computation is marrying machine learning with materials engineering![1]

In fact, by this conclusion, we can only believe that the universe is merely the most efficient way to simulate itself, but this by no means precludes the possibility of simulating it in any other medium (encoding).

Do you happen to know how much GPU RAM I need to run glid-3 and/or the latent diffusion model, if I don't want to run on colab?
I used to make games a lot as a kid. Most were really just toys. I made this game call Snow Siege which was just two players lobbing snowballs at each other. It's probably similar to Fortnite but 2D. Players would build up forts, and catapult giant snowballs over the enemy walls.

Most of the fun was in building a "physics" engine. Every item had some acceleration and velocity, so it would create this parabola motion when you launch something from a catapult. It was a lot more fun to make than play.

There's also stuff like bullet trajectories. The game making tool we used had a "speed 100" for items shot, but sometimes you want it to go even faster. So we'd use trigonometry to figure out what was the closest item in that bullet's path. Then for more fun, we'd add things like cover, e.g. shooting through low cover meant 50% of bullets went through.

And then AI. So I made a game where you had to raid a base, and a bunch of turrets guarded the entrance. The turrets were tough, had a high rate of fire, long range, but were completely predictable. Then you'd have a team of people who would run out from the woods and fire shots at the turrets, then jump for cover when the turret aimed at them. The AI was fun to figure out, in that the turrets were completely predictable but the team individuals would have some form of randomized personality (aggression, bravery). Some would retreat when wounded, lowering the bravery of others, which might trigger mass retreat. Sometimes the humans won, sometimes the turrets.

Most of these games were not even that fun to play, they were just a whole lot of fun to make. It's about figuring out what happens when I do that? Or how can I improve on this?

Also, yeah, Godot is probably the easiest recommendation for now.
Kubernetes' biggest problem by far is its mess of accumulated technical debt. FAANG promo committees very likely undervalue FLOSS contributions, but this hits all of FLOSS pretty much equally; it hardly explains why k8s specifically would be in so much trouble.
Good point. Physicists even call mathematics a “language,” which obviously has no implications whatsoever as to how easy (or hard) it is for a talented polyglot to learn it.

What job you have (theoretically) isn't due to "absolute advantage" but "comparative advantage".

In other words, if someone else is a better designer than you, that actually has nothing to do with if they're going to take your job. They may have something better to do. An ML model isn't a worker no matter how good it is at painting, so rather than having a job it has input resources (RTX 3090s, electricity, maintenance engineers) but the concept is still important.
I think that in CLIP+VQGAN, the VQGAN model is frozen, and what you do is start from a random latent code, generate an image, pass it to CLIP, and the backprop through CLIP and through the VQGAN generator to figure out how you should move the latent code to make it better match the prompt. Then you just keep taking gradient ascent steps to find better and better latent codes. So it's like 'retraining', except you're 'training' the network input rather than the network weights.
I'm sure this was a long time ago, but this is one of those "consult a lawyer" moments to me. Going back and finishing CS was probably the more productive option, however.

If you're not writing data very often, this isn't a concern. For example, if you assume 5 microseconds to write a line, and 1 line written per hour on average, then the chance that the power goes out while you're writing a line is 10^-9, i.e. will never happen.
> Filtering only the school accounts is pointless if the student can just switch to a non-school account (or guest account) and access whatever they want there.

From the district's perspective this does have a point: it removes perceived or actual liability for things that the student could be exposed to or experience using their managed services. Being able to tell an offended parent "not our account, not our device, not our problem" versus having to answer for "but he was logged into his district managed Google account, shouldn't you have protected him?"
Right alignment is just less common in general, right? It requires knowing how long a line of text is before rendering the line of text, and the more complicated implementation makes it probably the least used form of justification for blocks of text. (Of course computers make right justifying free)

I’m a bit tired of the design, I want to rethink it to better support short form content; but also because I’m a bit bored of the hyper-minimalist Medium-esque aesthetic. It’s actually fairly overengineered, so I’ll make sure the next version is even more overengineered.

> Login is a bit trickier as it's hard to build an app that leverages the internet and facilitates teamwork without understanding user identity. But point taken.

I think you need to understand that this is a rare edge case and at least 95-99% of users do not want or need this. A terminal is a terminal, a command line shell. There are countless tools within it that have been developed for decades that provide collaboration: Git is a nice example. The shell itself is localized and user authentication is handled by the system.

What exactly is there to be worked on in collaboration on a command line? Only one person can type or execute commands on it at the same time, and even worse, it is a very sensitive part of any system and the whole point of TTY and session management is to NOT have it as a shared resource.

Don't get me wrong, there are features of your product that look very nice and have almost convinced me to switch to it (until I saw the SSO screen), but the way you approach this rings all possible alarm bells and demonstrates a deep and fundamental lack of understanding of what you are trying to re-invent.

Not sure what any of those complaints have to do with visual programming. BPs are pretty fast, and efficient BPs will be faster than inefficient C++ for example. Crashes and bugs are hardly unique to visual programming either.
Yeah I was surprised by the article. I had thought silver bullets were fairly common, at least as novelty items for shooters, rather than for actual werewolf hunting. I guess not, though: the ones I see now all seem to be replicas unsuitable for actual shooting.

I also don't understand the casting headaches: I've seen some videos of Alec Steele making gold rings by lost wax casting and not having such trouble. Is the difference that he was willing to do a lot of hand finishing of the cast rings?

Here is one of Alec Steele's videos showing him making a ring. It's a very romantic vid for the right kind of nerd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb2ZCoiOe3k

I wish Hugo would include a default theme that you can just point at a recursive directory of markdown files without needing silly _index.md files. JavaScript tooling is very bloated. Would be nice to have something like this in Go or Rust.
Sure, but this is partially enabled by the fact that often doctors lose money on Medicaid patients which is why they often don’t accept them.

> The page limits, while high, are somewhat unsettling.

Can you explain this _unsettling_ comment further? Do you find the limits too low? A lot of research was put into the 100 page as I found only about 3% of projects ever went >100 pages.

> I would want to apply this to a handful of my open source projects which would already require ~$200-$300 (yearly should I want updates).

Just so it's clear, that would only be if each of those projects individually were >100 pages.

Yeah the MT7621 is still a popular choice at the lower-end. You'll see it bundled with a WiFi 6 radio sometimes too. You'll see the single-core MT7620 at the even lower lower end as well.

> If you see a WiFi 6 AP that only has WiFi6 on 5GHz, and WiFi4/n on 2.4GHz, a good chance it is using a MTK MIPS WiFi 4/n SoC + a MTK WiFi 6 PCIe IC, with the SoC providing 2.4GHz and 5GHz being provided by something like the MT7915 or similar. The Ubiquiti U6 Lite and U6 LR are examples of this, as are the Belkin RT3200 / Linksys E8450.

The U6-LR and E8450/RT3200 use the MT7622, which is dual-core ARM Cortex-A53's. The inbuilt 2.4ghz radio is essentially still a MT7615 block doing 4x4 11n though.

There's also the MT7986 ("Filogic 830"), which is essentially the same thing but with a 11ax capable radio instead. However I've only seen a couple products using it right now, with quick search reveals one only announced in the last few days too...

Edit: Well not really the same thing, it's quad-core, on a smaller process and has revised offload, but you get the gist...
Fair, though most of that is the fact that it has --help output and also that the same source covers both true and false. But yeah.
I want to call out - performance numbers don't actually mean nearly as much as people have made them out to be.

This is a mostly read only web page. Half a second to load? You're barely going to lose anyone, if you lose anyone at all. Hacker News routinely runs me ~300ms to load and has zero personalization, Facebook takes over a second and a half before anything displays, as does Youtube (on a refresh, no less, so things should reside in cache locally!). Hitting a random person's LinkedIn page (once I've passed the verification, which is a whole different issues) takes 1.2 seconds. Etc.

Now, admittedly those are including the latency on my end, but the point is, no one is so meth addled that a page loading after half a second (or even a full second!) is going to have much effect on engagement. Even the studies that have been done (that I have some major issues with) only really start measuring anything significant well after a second or two.

The author of my linked article also really didn't care for branch delay slots, which I am assuming was a carryover from the original pipeline that is long gone from modern designs.

I know that ARM removed many performance-adverse aspects in their 64-bit conversion (conditional execution, direct moves into the program counter), and I wonder how much was done for the 64-bit MIPS and SPARC instruction sets to make them more practical and less of a historical anachronism.
Decentralization can push features very fast, and support all kinds of extensions and variants that spread and become standards.

ActivityPub and all the rest are either not decentralized, or they are blockchainful with all the associated disadvantages. Namely, it doesn't work on isolated LANs, throwing away one of the coolest killer apps of P2P. Federated protocols often tie your identity to some random hobby scale project server.

What stops P2P from adding feaures is just the fact that it's a lot of work and nobody seems all that interested, and most P2P projects are held back by a very narrow defined scope, wheras companies like Facebook go for the kitchen sink.

The other thing that slows dev is multiple unrelated apps. If you control everything(Which is totally possible in FOSS, if one group is the de facto leader that most people go with), you can update as fast as you want, as long as your protocols have primitives for arbitrary message types.

If Tox or Jami had a million dollars, or SyncThing were interested in expanding scope, or a few dozen people wanted to make a social network on BitTorrent they could do just fine, but everyone wants to build yet another Etherium token, or doesn't have the resources to support all platforms and continually add features.

My personal blog! Let me know if you like any of the stuff on it. And what I'm wrong about :)
The AOF reader will discard and emit a warning about lines that can’t be parsed, but that’s the extent of it.

These apps are on Digital Ocean, and I don’t remember ever having unplanned downtime with them. They do sometimes migrate instances with advance notice, but that’s a clean shutdown.

I’m sure SQLite is a better choice for almost any app. My reason for not using it was to try avoiding dependencies out of curiosity, and also that I honestly really don’t like writing SQL — it just feels boring and error-prone. (Like eating celery, I know objectively it’s good for me.)
I can also imagine the magical nature of a child being able to make up a story (as children are wont to do) and having Dall-E here generating a picture book as they go.

It's not about having multiple accounts, it's about the fact that federation is a bit meaningless when only a megacorp can run a server.

Using a small server is just asking to lose everything when it goes away, and small things come and go all the time. Porting one account to a new server(Or better yet not tightly binding it in the first place) is essential.

> SQLite responds gracefully to memory allocation failures and disk I/O errors. Transactions are ACID even if interrupted by system crashes or power failures. All of this is verified by the automated tests using special test harnesses which simulate system failures.

from the sqlite about page. it's one of the most bullet proof and hardened pieces of software out there I think. it was made basically for exactly the ops use case of a file on disk. but who knows what the use case is for them. maybe writes to the db are few and far between so it's a fairly moot point.
Probably not. People tend to think that tasks that make us think hard require general intelligence just because that's the tool we use to solve that problem. The AI doesn't have to be very good to be able to replace CRUD web app developers (that is, most of us).

As I see, the real challenge to solve is for it to be able to hold context and be able to communicate iteratively. Also, as you say find missing gaps. That's important. Other than that, you tell it what you want, it creates something and then you tell it to change things around. Which is, BTW, pretty similar to how it works with biological life based developers. Though as we're lazy, we like to clarify a lot of things up front (and either drive customers crazy or teach them that this is the way it works). If you have an AI that spits out code in a few minutes, it may not matter a lot.

Most of the programming jobs are indeed about making relatively simple stuff from standard components.
