Hi all. I'm Julian, the guy who wrote the ending to Minecraft, and that Substack piece. I've read a fair few of your comments. (Not all; blimey, 600? You've crowdsourced a book!) Very interesting and enjoyable experience. Almost all the ones I've read are parsing the legalities; engaging with the law around copyright, rights agreements, etc. Arguing about legal specifics. Almost none of them engage with the artistic part of the story, or the emotional part. It's as though those things are simply not there, or were invisible. Fascinating! I particularly enjoyed the comments where blokes (so many blokes!) got angry at me for even HAVING emotions about this situation, when the law seemed, to them, to make such emotions invalid. Almost the opposite of the Reddit r/Minecraft comments, which are all about the emotions and the art. Anyway, thanks for this insight into a particular way of looking at the world. Very revealing, very interesting, very enjoyable. Have a great day!
"You can't delegate understanding." - Charles Eames

Abstraction means you don't have to think about details. Unfortunately, details matter in software.

As a simple example, how many projects use Hibernate, then run into massive performance problems? Pretty much all of them...because the devs don't bother to learn how their data store works. Then they iterate over 150,000,000 rows with their ORM instead of using, you know, SQL.

It's always a tradeoff, but again, "you can't delegate understanding."
Most complex one I saw this weekend was this [1], the point I'm trying to make is the even if you make generate complex stuff, if would take decades where we deploy this kind of workloads in real world scenarios.

Arguable Tesla believe the claims it was making. Certainly a lot of people who bought Teslas thought they did!

I don't think consumers shouldn't have any recourse though. They should be given refunds but I don't think they should get any sort of multiplier/etc. (In general/for non-necessitates) If you give a merchant $x in exchange for Y and the merchant later realizes they can't give you Y I think it's totally fair to just give you back the $x.

I agree that "please urinate with precision and elegance" is more direct than "please use the bathroom cleanly," but it's kind of funny that the translators assumed English speakers would expect the very direct version.
I'm confused as to how earplugs help with Tinnitus. The sound is coming from within your ears. At least in my case, the external world has no significance in the volume of the tinnitus. In fact, cutting out noises makes Tinnitus more apparent. Something like a white noise machine helps marginally, as it gives the brain something else to focus on.
I only go to the subscriptions page thus all my recommendations are from people I'm subbed to or similar creators. You gotta give the algo good data in to get good data out.

> All I can figure is people come to this conclusion because they're just looking at the blockbusters and what they see advertised everywhere, and figuring those are the only movies that exist.

This might be my age showing but movies used to be both blockbuster hits and completely unique storylines. Those things somehow became mutually exclusive and people never figured out how to explore the underground movie scene. When I was younger, even now to some extent, I sought out underground music as my interests were not popular. Yet, I have no idea how to do that for movies; it's just not a skill I ever acquired. When something new and "indie" shows up on my radar, I feel I am more likely to default to a feeling that it's a waste of time than something special I should invest some time on. Perhaps also due to run time differences, it's easier to "check out" some new music than a new movie.
It's got a hopeful tone, but I'm a bit confused by his advice to ignore mastodon. The fediverse is more than just mastodon. Mastodon is just one use of ActivityPub. If anything exemplifies the DIY nature he's trying to promote it would seem to be the fediverse.

Wow. It's amazing that if you had not said this was ChatGPT Inwoukd have thought "he's clever I should read it and learn something". However with the caveat there, I don't at all want to read and learn because I have no idea if it is correct or in what ways or direction it is misleading.

I simply cannot trust it.

ChatGPT is like one of the stone statues guarding a mythical treasure - one of them always lies and one always tells the truth. But they do speak full and coherent sentences and they sound convincing.

This does lead I guess to the point - maybe we are ChatGPT engines underneath but use some form of listening to the words and trying to build a real working model that can be tested and predicted.
AMD doesn't support any recent consumer GPUs, and they have long-standing support issues failing to build which are sometimes only resolved a year or more after launch.

Just see this thread for an example of the frustration people feel: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/887

This hasn't been an issue with day one CUDA and ML functionality on any recent Nvidia GPUs.

"And when those people have requested an interview with Bankman-Fried, he’s turned it down."

The very next quote from SBF: "... I'm not sure that will happen by the 13th. But when it does, I will testify."

This article is contradicting itself.
A language without null safety in the design in first place isn't worth my time at all. It's like a "business language" , released with deadline. I've suffered enough burnout and stress for those kinds of languages already. It's enough.
Have you seen any other vendors use that? I have only seen it being referred to as storage.
Our team has built a low-code solution to build simple web views and help lower the barriers to making changes. So far it has not saved us any time and arguably has made things worse. The requirements coming in are complex, so instead of building the views in a comfortable environment (our IDE) we are building the same amount of complexity in an environment with rough edges (our LC/NC tool). In my opinion we have misidentified the bottleneck. In reality the time sink is getting clarity on the requirements and understanding the interactions of the components on the page. Whether that page is made in an IDE or in our tool is largely irrelevant.
Skimmed rather than digested, but I don't see anywhere they say what business they are actually in... there are definitely still enclaves of know how and talent around the country with domain specific knowledge. Or, places where industries once thrived that are now shuttered but could be revitalized. There's a lot to be said for looking for locations with tax breaks / business incentives too, which might not be the usual suspects as far as cities go. Sure if you want to go ride the Silicon Valley express, that's one path in life, but there are lots of different ways to reach a successful outcome. Lots to be said for building one's life where you want to be.
Don't know for sure about SBF, but he legitimately could be what he shows (someone over his head).

I don't think the crypto world is patient enough to let the government (any government) handle things. So since we're making predictions: if no government acts within a year, I bet he'll be dead within three. I think they call that "slashing".
Yeah I'm sorry but I don't consider that a valid argument in this discussion, in fact I think you are making it in bad faith - clearly China would be doing this regardless of whether they have an opt-in or opt-out list for organ donations.

And the Israeli actions were actions dictated by hate against Palestinians, not a public health policy. Again, they would have done the same regardless of whether they had an opt-in or opt-out policy.

Can you provide an example in which a crime was committed by selling addictive drugs or poisoning water supplies?

If you are alluding to pain killers, those were approved for use so whether or not the company knew they were addictive is a moral question not a legal one. A massive fine was also leveed against Purdue.

As for the water, I assume you mean Flint? What crime was committed?
We genuinely don't know that yet. People keep saying this as if we have any reason to suspect neural networks are even remotely related to how mammal brains work. The strongest link they have is that neural networks chose a very heavy handed name.

It's pretty likely that a handful or neurons, or even a singular neuron is comparable to a HUGE neural net in ability to "learn".

We know of plentiful single celled organisms that learn. It's clear we have no fucking clue what's going on, and we as computer people should stop letting AI researchers claim magic
There may be more parallels to SBF and Jon Corzine than to Bernie Madoff. SBF and Corzine ran companies that were regulated by the CFTC which requires segmentation of client funds from corporate funds. Both SBF and Corzine failed to provide the appropriate systems and safeguards to prevent the intermingling of client and corporate funds. Only time and evidence will tell if SBF knowingly and intentionally siphoned client funds for nefarious intent. The situation can get more murky if usage/terms of services policies existed for the alt-coins that were used. In Madoffs' case, there was a point that no investments were being made and new money was being used to pay/boost returns of existing clients which doesn't seem to be the case with FTX.
Perhaps I do not need live chat to sell or market me something. But I am very grateful and appreciative to services that provide support as an existing customer in the form of a live chat. It saves me hold time on the phone, it's more immediate than email, and it usually very efficient.
And Numba is actually CPython, unlike this which is just "Python-like".

There's also Nuitka as yet another alternative.

"The value of a technical advance to the whole undertaking of life must be judged by its contribution to the human opportunity for spiritual occupation."

"Other technical inventions enrich only the life of the inventor himself; they represent a gross and ruthless theft from humankind’s common reserve of experiences and should invoke the harshest punishment if made public against the veto of censorship. One such crime among numerous others is the use of flying machines to explore uncharted land. In a single vandalistic glob, one thus destroys lush opportunities for experience that could benefit many if each, by effort, obtained his fair share."

A couple of Zapffe quotes on how we aren't thinking enough about the effects of the technology we deploy. I don't agree with his statement against 'flying machines' but he is correct about theft of experience. People are robbed of experience and motivation by being able to go on Youtube and watch others do what they could likely do themselves with motivation and time.
Nope. They're not risking Ingenuity (a tech demo that works very well) crashing into Perseverance.
Also: no need, Perseverance doesn't have solar panels but an Radioactive Thermal Generator.

How many of those are Mobile?

And how many of those mobile ipv6 addresses are communicating with the "real" internet through a carrier grade NAT to translate/intermediate with IPV4 servers/addresses?

And about the most offensive, disgusting thing to ipv6 people is the NAT. It's the thorn in their side that 1) IPV6 "trivially" solves (allegedly) but even worse 2) it's what keeps ipv4 on life support with the ISPs.

Can some ipv6 person tell me with a straight face that mobiles being ipv6 behind a huge cgnat is "success"?

So the fact that the big success story of ipv6 is all enabled by a huge massive NAT is ... morbidly hilarious.

So that actually means that most "regular internet" HAVEN'T adopted it, a statistic meant to show good uptake actually shows the real problem. The ISPs for cable/internet, Despite huge huge monopoly-protected revenues, aren't doing anything at all.

Again, as a programmer, I would like to work with static IPs. NATs suck, ipv4 sucks, private addresses vs public addresses suck. If not for the condescending, ivory tower, shove-down-throat, bungled incompetent planning, utter lack of outreach and transition planning, an addres transition plan (per the MX + A guy's thesis), I would love ipv6. I WANT A STATIC IP. EVERY PROGRAMMER WANTS A STATIC IP. We don't want to think about all the ipv4 bullshit.

The failure is with the ipv6 mafia. They failed. They keep failing. And based on everything they say and their representatives, they will continue to fail.
These requirements are definitely wrong.

You can only use a C++ struct by writing C++ code that includes the definition of the struct. This means that if your program waits to see

{ "type":"struct" "name:"MyStruct" "struct": { "var1":"int", "var2":float; "var3":"double" } }

in an input file before acting on this declaration, it cannot be the same program that uses

typedef struct { var1:int; var2:float; var3:double }MyStruct`

to process a conforming JSON file.

I can think of two plausible scenarios:

1) You can actually use the compiler: program 1 reads your type definition and generates the source code for program 2 (which includes your typedef and all specialized code you want), then you compile program 2 and finally you process JSON of the appropriate type with program 2. (Technically, program 2 could be a dynamic link library running within the same process as program 1.)

2) You only want high performance JSON processing, as if you used a straightforward specialized C++ program with compact structs: memory efficiency can be achieved by packing values inside buffers "by hand" without using C++ structs (I suggest looking at module ctypes in the Python standard library for inspiration), but being limited by not knowing names and structures ahead of time your program can only be an interpreter for a DSL about general-purpose JSON processing, like e.g. jq.
How about 25?

Can't be very expensive, probably minimum is a few hundred thousand to get setup somewhere new. With billions missing and dozens of shell companies and various assets all over the place in his name (because FTX lent him personally 100s of millions if not more), I have to imagine he has a few million accessible.
https://lwn.net/Articles/768410/ has a good explanation of the differences:

> The third option, surprisingly, is Gallium3D (or simply "Gallium"), he said. He has been learning that it is basically a hybrid approach between state streaming and pre-baked pipelines. It uses "constant state objects" (CSOs), which are immutable objects that capture a part of the GPU state and can be cached across multiple draw operations. CSOs are essentially a Vulkan pipeline that has been chopped up into pieces that can be mixed and matched as needed. Things like the blending state, rasterization mode, viewport, and shader would each have their own CSO. The driver can associate the actual GPU commands needed to achieve that state with the CSO.
Show HN: I built playlist generator for upcoming concerts
Yup. Although, to be pedantic, the offer/ack is often unicast. Here's the relevant bit from the RFC.

> If the 'giaddr' field in a DHCP message from a client is non-zero,
the server sends any return messages to the 'DHCP server' port on the
BOOTP relay agent whose address appears in 'giaddr'. If the 'giaddr'
field is zero and the 'ciaddr' field is nonzero, then the server
unicasts DHCPOFFER and DHCPACK messages to the address in 'ciaddr'.
If 'giaddr' is zero and 'ciaddr' is zero, and the broadcast bit is
set, then the server broadcasts DHCPOFFER and DHCPACK messages to
0xffffffff. If the broadcast bit is not set and 'giaddr' is zero and
'ciaddr' is zero, then the server unicasts DHCPOFFER and DHCPACK
messages to the client's hardware address and 'yiaddr' address. In
all cases, when 'giaddr' is zero, the server broadcasts any DHCPNAK
messages to 0xffffffff.
Unfortunately proving that nothing is infringing on whatever patents Ibiquity created would likely be difficult and/or expensive, and since most indie broadcasters are still happy to just broadcast analog-only for the time being, there's not a lot of will to fight for it.

It's not a sad story. It's a lesson to others.

It's interesting how the story switches between reasons. To me, the most salient is: "could not overcome Heisenberg's complete lack of interest and gave up the effort".

Attention to detail has been one of my largest issues in mistakes I've made, and this reminds me that sometimes that's what is required.

And sometimes what's required is putting a draft on arxiv.org and waiting for the criticism or roast.

Growing up in a house where your parent is worried about your performance in a subfield and reaches out to experts in the field. That's the complicated double-edged sword.
He's been very careful and cagey about those other claims though - things like saying he didn't implement an FTX/Alameda backdoor (deliberately avoiding the more important issue of whether one existed and whether he used it) and saying he didn't try to commit fraud (sure he didn't try, but he succeeded on a rather impressive scale).
And he admitted to commiting fraud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o_jPzBZSIo
I’m not even sure I’m anything more than an advanced autocomplete…

So I just asked GPT-3:

“It can be difficult to determine which tasks require understanding and which do not. In general, tasks that require a deep understanding of the world and the ability to think abstractly are likely to be more challenging for language models to perform. This includes tasks such as problem-solving, making inferences, and generating creative ideas. On the other hand, tasks that involve more straightforward processing of language, such as translating text or answering simple questions, may be more suitable for language models to handle.”
I don't doubt that on this take, it was driving itself successfully, or that they could reproduce the video today.

But when you say the driver is only there for legal reasons you are implying that the car doesn't need supervision except to appease regulators. You are implying that the technology side of it is much more solved than it is.

I've had some bubbling thoughts about no-code that I think just congealed:

No-code is subject to simplicity vs easiness just like code is (https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/). No-code tools tend to put a huge focus on doing one or both of these things. They're core value-props. But I think the question of whether or not a tool gives you sustainable value comes down to the simplicity axis (vs just making it easier to add more complexity)

A no-code tool that's easier but more complex than the equivalent code solution is probably going to be a net-loss, at least in the long run. Whereas a no-code tool that helps keep things simple by presenting a narrow, focused representation of a system (instead of general-purpose code) can be beneficial.

In a way, no-code can be thought of as a(n invisible) DSL + a GUI
