We've only just started! Hence me hitting all the fun issues with our 'organically' grown dev toolchain :)

It's been fairly simple so far with a few niggles. We won't be able to go full arm due to having to support 'stuff' but for the management planes and prometheus etc it's all hunky dory.
At this point, why care about Twitter?
roblox has ~50mm daily users (DAU), and if my math is correct (it probably isn't) you could have hour granularity (only 0-23) timestamps on 6 files, each day, and track 191mm unique users. I used roblox because i knew their DAU off-the-cuff - because roblox requires a login, they know who you are anyhow.

But if you do 1 second granularity a mere 2 cache timestamps are enough to fingerprint everyone on the planet, each day.

is my math wrong, here?
The blog post says:

> The model is often excessively verbose and overuses certain phrases, such as restating that it’s a language model trained by OpenAI. These issues arise from biases in the training data (trainers prefer longer answers that look more comprehensive) and well-known over-optimization issues.
Hired into a company. First day on job I find that the entire infrastructure team had quit. It was in a failing state.

told them flat out that they are most likely going out of business, but I’ll get it a try.

Couple of times owner tried to Ask me when feature X would be delivered. Just told them no. Managers were wise enough to understand they were one pissed tech guy from failure.

3 years of endless late nights to get company back to a good spot with a rebuilt time, new infrastructure. Proper documentation, the works.

Finally left after being passed over for promotion to a guy that did nothing, but promised the world. (He never delivered)

Took me a couple years to recover from that job.

I don’t work late nights anymore. If company doesn’t care to invest in infra, I look elsewhere.
Of course he's upset at Apple, users have spoken and told Meta "Do Not Track" and he's losing advertising revenue.

that's the crux of it - Epic, Meta, etc are angry because they can't track users or slide more advertisements onto iOS devices.

Meta has made a ton of money off of questionable business practices. I can't really feel sorry for them after all these years.
If you haven’t already tried it, I highly recommend PlexAmp.

It’s helped me rediscover some of my own local music and find it to be a much better experience for listening to music via Plex.

I am very lucky to work for a company that has zero debt. If I was looking to change jobs right now that would be one of the primary questions I would ask, the debt position of the company.

Yes.
We're strongly considering homeschooling our kid. We have reservations (read are scared of how hard it sounds compared to sending them off to school) but hearing about experiences like this move us in that direction.

It sounds like a best of both worlds. Avoid bullies and other bs associated with institutional education and instead have a customized, curiosity driven education.

OMG the 'Technology Foresight' group, the 'Process Improved Team'. Cross functional synergy!

We all know what the problems are and where investment is needed, but management pretends that they don't know so they can have An Initiative to discover it, but not really address it (because e.g. the problem is one they caused with previous poor management).
What does it mean "you have no right to exist"? I see this phrase used a lot, often to describe things like "you shouldn't be allowed to play football in a female team if you have male genitals" and I'm sorry, the two are not equivalent.
Last I checked, a 4 vCPU/16GB RAM/1TB storage configuration costs around $80 USD per month at VPS hosts like Hetzner. It's $762 USD per month on RDS.

There are trade-offs of course (https://onlineornot.com/self-hosting-vs-managed-services-dec...) between the two options.

I've been hoping fly.io builds a strong automated middle ground for a while now!
> a team that delivers net savings can’t be justified on the basis of cost-cutting

..in theory not, but in practice cost-cutting is often less a scientific, data-based project and more a cataclysmic purgative process where factors such as speed of execution are important.

e.g. Elon has certainly lost many, many great people and teams who were net positive for Twitter's bottom line in his recent purges. But he probably thinks there is huge value in acting quickly and putting the aggressive cutting behind him and inserting his "hardcore" team. There would be a real cost to the Twitter shareholders in doing a slow and scientific analysis of who to cut - there's a case to be made that a ruthless tearing off of the bandaid would more quickly lead to a profitable place, even if there is collateral damage on the way.

Rust has a tool for that, it's iterators. It is only limited however.

Oh I agree, this post won't change anything at this point. But I guess that's why it was released (and as others noted, also for regulators / to save face after weeks of chaos).
If you want to use facebook, you either use the app or the web site.

If you don't want to use the app or the website, don't use facebook.

They made it so you have to use an app to use facebook messenger even though before you didn't have to, so I stopped using it and let everyone know you can't find me on facebook messenger.

Problem solved.
The reason performance decreased when he removed bounds checking is because asserting bounds is very useful to a compiler. Essentially, the compiler emits code like this:

1. if (x >= 0) && (x < arr_len(arr))
2. get element from array index x
3. else
4. throw exception
5. do more stuff

The compiler deduces that at line 5 0 <= x < arr_len(arr). From that it can deduce that abs(x) is a no op, that 2*x won't overflow (cause arrays can only have 2^32 elements), etc. Without bounds checking the compiler emits:

1. get element from array index x
2. do more stuff

So the compiler doesn't know anything about x, which is bad. The solution which apparently is not implemented in Rust (or LLVM, idk) is to emit code like the following:

1. assert that 0 <= x < arr_len(arr)
2. get element from array index x
3. do more stuff

First want to say congrats to the Patterns team for launching a gorgeous looking tool. Very minimal and approachable. Massive kudos!

Disclaimer: we're building something very similar and I'm curious about a couple of things.

One of the questions our users have asked us often is how to minimize the dependence on "product specific" components/nodes/steps. For example, if you write CI for GitHub Actions you may use a bunch of GitHub Action references.

Looking at the `graph.yml` in some of the examples you shared you use a similar approach (e.g. patterns/openai-completion@v4). That means that whenever you depend on such components your automation/data pipeline becomes more tied to the specific tool (GitHub Actions/Patterns), effectively locking in users.

How are you helping users feel comfortable with that problem (I don't want to invest in something that's not portable)? It's something we've struggled with ourselves as we're expanding the "out of the box" capabilities you get.

Furthermore, would have loved to see this as an open source project. But I guess the second best thing to open source is some open source contributions and `dcp` and `common-model` look quite interesting!

For those who are curious, I'm one of the authors of https://github.com/orchest/orchest
But isn't one really useful way to learn by having people older and wiser than you step in and explain the situation to everyone involved? You don't just throw a bunch of math symbols at a child and say, "learn how to do arithmetic." You teach them what numbers and numerals are and how to manipulate them. You teach them easier concepts first, and then build on them. That needs to be done for both bullies and their victims, too. Most people will not "just figure it out." That's abusive in itself.
Mastodon doesn't do any of the things I want out of social media, and has the most backwards thinking to moderation. The moderation system is based on witch hunting. Federation can't work when there are discrete sets of people that absolutely hate each other. Right now Mastodon is full of the most far-left people.
> If the invalid arithmetic proceeds without crashing, and produces a value in the int32_t i variable, then that issue is settled. The subsequent statement should behave according to accessing that value.

The C standard imposes no such constraint on undefined behaviour, neither is it the case that real compilers always behave as if it did.

That's what it is. The other guy was terribly triggered by it, for reasons I don't understand, but Japanese office workers will ocasionally choke on katakana names. The kicker here is that when you are sending a remittance, the bank will profit from it without risk or extra expenses, so it is on the bank's interest to get your application through.

MyNumber is managed by your local city office. Just like any other governmental agency, it has no incentives for nothing.

If all of your documents match perfectly, the bank will approve your application for remittance. But you should be using Wise - it has much better deals than Shinsei.

Because we should, and we do, get smarter with every generation. This Feelings Monster seems to focus on soft skills and SEL. Still, your comments imply you may have issues with advancing educational tools or with technology companies investing in educational features over profits.

Yes, learning arithmetic on chalkboards worked fine, but should we stop improving our methods and tools because we've already met some arbitrary bar of what you think was once good enough? No, we should improve them by any measure whenever we have the chance.
This is assuming the old "no such thing as bad publicity!" adage is correct and can only mean good things for whoever the subject is. However recall that any new revelations around Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX similarly shoot up the front page and get a load of clicks, eyeballs and comments ... so clearly there's a limit to where this applies.

Twitter isn't in the position FTX is in, but I personally believe that the publicity that Musk and Twitter have been getting over the last month has been nearly universally bad. There is little value in increased user engagement if so much of it is centered around the catastrophic Twitter management and Elon Musk or Tesla parody accounts, particularly if there fewer companies interested in advertising to those users.
Lastpass - Notice of Recent Security Incident
It has been done often. There are risks.
The amount of people who read through a README is probably in the single digit percentage of users who post issues (judging by the fact that so many issues have their resolution in part of the README).

The number of people (especially those who post issues, not PRs necessarily) who read a contribution guide is probably less than 1%.

GitHub issue templates can help in that regard, but it's still pretty minimal the amount of work 80% of people who post issues will put in towards solving it themselves first.
Bullying is the social destruction of self not because it is the act of one "crazy" person but because bullies have the support of the entire community including teachers, other students, and school administration.

If it was just one violent person doing one thing it would be a minor act. It is everyone being complicit in this act that demonstrates to you how worthless you are that destroys you.

I recently wrote a letter to the alumni development office of the undergraduate school I went to about why I don't give money to them when I was re-traumatized by receiving the first alumni newsletter I had received in a long time.

We had a student who waged a war against gays but this was the 1980s and people like that were so afraid of AIDS that instead they'd bash straight people who showed the slightest amount of support for gays. I couldn't leave my room without the risk of being assaulted. It only ended when he hit a resident assistant in the face with a rock from a catapult at point blank range. A gay man and a lesbian woman committed suicide because of this nonsense.

This person had support from many groups of people at tech including religious people, drug users (this guy was the drug dealer who would take the biggest chances to get supply) and the school administration. What I found was so wounding was that I lost many of my friends over this.

The person I blame most of all was the very popular dean of students who told me repeatedly that his "hands were tied" but I am sure he would have found something he could have done if his daughter was the victim.

The ringleader of this group went to prison a few years later because he was caught on tape selling 3 kilos of cocaine to an undercover cop. If I heard he was still alive and had gone straight I would would forgive him and actually celebrate him because he has paid for his crimes and it is such a hard thing to go straight.

I would have a very hard time forgiving the dean of students because he has received so many accolades from people and is seen as a hero (for many good reasons), I grieve more for the people who were victims of suicide than I do for my own suffering which was minor in comparison. I wonder how many other victims there are from before and after I was there. It is all the more wounding for me because otherwise college would have been a respite and chance to heal from the abuse I received in the public schools.
Are there open source alternatives to conversational models like this? I'd like to fine-tune it based on my personal browsing experience. Ideally, it would be useful to run it locally while I'm on a 15h flight with no internet access.
Why are you defending fraud?
I'd go so far as to suspect that anyone calling this victim blaming is a bully themselves and is attempting to make people at large less resilient to bullying by advocating positions that don't promote resiliency and self control in these kinds of situations.
MySQL is a huge amount of code doing a variety of things in each query -- networking, parsing, IO, locking, etc. Each of those can easily have significant and hard to predict latencies.

Benchmarking that needs special care, and planning for whatever it is you want to measure. A million trivial queries and a dozen very heavy queries are going to do significantly different things, and have different tradeoffs and performance characteristics.
> I think he'll make it.

On what basis?

Elon needs cash flow to pay the loans he took to buy Twitter.

Banks don’t give a shit about politics, or mission, or popularity. Banks care about cash flow.

Fact: advertisers (read: cash flow) are leaving Twitter. How will Elon pay off his loans?
Same with mine. We're small and lean but we are slow to grow or needlessly spend money. A bit less reward but way less risk.
You can get those bugs when you are doing your own atomics, and your code relies on x86's relaxed memory semantics. It looks like their code is JS and Go, which buries that stuff. Services they use were already proven out on ARM. (Or, maybe, are not on ARM?)

Relaxed memory bus semantics imposes a pretty substantial performance cost. Depending on how they are billed, this might account for a big chunk of their lower cost. But probably not.

Their real problem is that they are firmly entrenched in proprietary Amazon services, so switching to another cloud would be very difficult. Amazon can raise prices 35% anytime, and what can they do?
> TAG became aware of the Heliconia framework when Google received an anonymous submission to the Chrome bug reporting program. The submitter filed three bugs, each with instructions and an archive that contained source code. They used unique names in the bug reports including, “Heliconia Noise,” “Heliconia Soft” and “Files.” TAG analyzed the submissions and found they contained frameworks for deploying exploits in the wild and a script in the source code included clues pointing to the possible developer of the exploitation frameworks, Variston IT.

Does that mean that this was likely an internal whistleblower at Variston since the bug reports had internal build tools?
I can manage 15 minutes or so on my aging Oculus Quest but that's about it. There's a Netflix option on there, I can relax in a virtual cinema with surround sound and a screen sized big enough to feel like a cinema screen and I've not been able to watch anything because of the vertigo.

I thought my kids would go crazy on it, perhaps I'm too old, out of touch etc. but they can do 15 mins max too. It's a novelty toy, quickly put away.

If Google Glasses had really taken off and I could have AR, not VR - overlays on ordinary vision - I'd be there. Handy for work, could do virtual meetings, notifications, all sorts. But as with most things Google it went the way of the dodo and I haven't heard of any replacement poised to take the world by storm.
SBF: First Live Interview Since Bankruptcy
Every time I see an actual, reproducible bug report come across one of my repos, I immediately label it with 'bug', and the stale bot will never touch the issue.

I only let it loose on all the thousands of feature requests and incomplete issues where I have no idea what the person is even asking.
There are a lot of interesting properties:

- Adjoints preserve limits/colimits.

- Adjoint functors give rise to a monad

- They are connected to universal morphisms
This presupposes that bullying is always explained by something environmental or that it's learned behavior. But what if bullying is just fun for some people? What if human beings have differing innate levels of aggression, empathy, and tolerance? What if some people see bullying and feel a little pit in their stomach -- fear, disgust, anger -- and what if others simply don't?

"The blank slate" conception of the world continues to mislead us about the domain of effective interventions.
I read the experimentation bit as Twitter (Elon) trying to push the boundaries of what Twitter can get away with from a PR perspective.
I'm not entirely sure if that is what you are asking, but for example pure functions from a type A to a type B can be compose with pure functions from a type B to a type C, to form a pure function from A to C. A lot of programmer oriented CT takes place in the category of types, with morphisms being a function from one type to another. Programming in a purely functional style makes composition of functions... trivial, compared to a function that has side-effects due to mutation.

Now of course this sounds trivial, but you can build much more refined concepts out of that simple idea. For example, creating product and sum types.

And that's where the rabbit hole starts.
100%, the way to avoid being bullied is to not be an easy target.

I once had a kid bullying me in middle school. I spoke with my mother about it, who recommended I say something to the teachers, which I did.

When that didn't work I knocked the shit out of him the next time he tried to bully me, to the point that he was running around the edges of the classroom trying to get away from me while I chased him down to beat on him some more.

He stopped fucking with me after that.

To your point, we both got suspended, but my mother made it clear I wasn't being punished and made sure I had fun during that suspension.

It's a lifelong skill that will be used as an adult too.
My favorite way to watch this slow down is to introduce some node workloads into the build workflow.

Any time I had to go to Traffikverket (equivalent to the DMV), Skatteverket (tax agency, your IRS) or Polisen (the police, to get passports or national IDs) which are the only 3 agencies that I had ever to interact with to get pictures collected from, I book an appointment online for a time slot; I show up 10-15 min before my scheduled time and wait for the call for my booking; Go in, talk to someone, take pictures/collect fingerprints and get out.

It's very, very easy.
