As with programming, I think you really need a certain drive. My little sister was supported to learn an instrument, but I took it and taught it myself, mostly to impress my family. Then on I played in bands, and I am still a musician. And my sister even though she was forced to do lessons doesn't play at all. One of my best friends started guitar, but then left it, because it is just so much work. I think the drive, and the need for showmanship are so important.
I told myself this as well, but as an anecdote: I started to lose weight from counting each and every calorie and never exceeding the exact amount my weight-trainer set for me.

What did I eat? Fries, Pizza, Chocolate, Burger, … still lost weight.
320 km/h is not hundreds of miles per hour faster than the top speed of a Tesla, especially one like the Plaid marketed for speed. I don’t give a fuck if you’re from Europe or the US, high speed trains aren’t faster than high speed sports cars. This is from the perspective of someone who’s not an idiot.
Angularjs? I'm impressed. I've got to maintain (infrequently) a Django monstrosity with a (small) Angularjs front-end, and I've always had a much harder time fixing Angularjs than e.g. Vue, even though there is relatively little Angular code. They must have designed it properly from the start.
Yes, the intent makes perfect sense.

Less popular => less viewable is good UX.

Github has the right to remove any account it wants because terms of service generally allow that kind of stuff without repercussions (though they need to explain why in certain legislations by law).

However, if Github is actively curating content, that means they're also responsible for the stuff they do leave up. The argument that a company isn't legally responsible for its users content relies heavily on the company having little control over said content.

This direct influence is what got the thepiratebay guys and the megaupload guys arrested, or at least what made the case persuable enough to put effort into it.

Id it's true that Github is actively removing account that post things they deem as racist, then I will judge Github on any older content on the platform not taken down. There is a lot of weird shit on Github that's apparently okay if a stupid mod for a video game is considered as a reason to refuse service to someone.

Companies are free to choose what they do and do not host, but that freedom is a double edged sword.
This is the insight of the day. I have to save your comment for later reference.
There are instances of an overseas company stealing a large amount of code and just running it as-is.

As long as you do it outside the jurisdiction of the USA, you'll probably get away with it.

I have seen two instances of this in my professional career (can't talk about either I'm afraid!), but in both cases it had a pretty big impact on the original owner of the code, and in neither case did the company manage to get any compensation.
It's funny how different the atmosphere is on the various stack exchanges. On many other sites that question would have been closed with the rational "Needs more focus."
You should also mention there are two counterpart mods called "black only" and "yellow only"

> Self driving cars: barely any fatal accidents but some erratic behavior. People go "oh we can't have that because something extremely unlikely might kill somebody. Never mind it hasn't happened yet and might never happen. But it just might. Therefore I will never trust AIs!!!!"

Fatal accidents have been rare because of human intervention. The cars aren’t self driving and no one in their right mind will stop paying attention when in one of these cars.

So the “extremely unlikely” argument is very, very weak.

I am probably missing something but I still don't see the difference given that buffer pool will otherwise be implemented in terms of malloc, and malloc is still implemented in terms of mmap so we're back to square one.

However, I could imagine that it is possible for contention in kernel-space mmap locks could be artificially relieved because of the user-space locks in malloc.

Currently I don't see how TLB shootdowns would be specific to mmap only but not to malloc but I may find some time to read the paper.
Random thoughts:

1) My first thought would be that such a conversational search UI would never hit the original website, thus drying up monetization for the content creator. Kind of like snippets in current search. Then I realized that there is no "original website", no singular source for the AI answer given. That's even worse. Search is the main traffic controller of the web and now has zero reasons to send any traffic your way. Not only does it not have any reason to send traffic, it simply can't. You can't back trace an AI answer to a (single) source.

2) The implication of the above point may be that for human creators, producing new content for the open web becomes (somewhat) pointless, even in the case where you do not even care to monetize it. An exception is video, for now. You should not expect this change to lead to a drying up of content for AI though. Google/Microsoft will simply resort to making deals with major content platforms. That's where most content is produced anyway.

3) An interesting new problem for Google/Microsoft is the increased accountability regarding correctness. Right now, search results do not have to be correct. You're just showing results produced by other entities. This changes when you confidentially give an answer directly in the search UI though. Now you own the answer, even if this expectation is technically inaccurate. Since GPT3 is often confidentially incorrect, that's a major challenge. And we should hope that this problem remains for a long time, because the moment GPT3 is extremely accurate and correct, we're in a different world entirely.

4) Safety and political correctness is another concern. Google/Microsoft will likely deliver AI that is a little too safe instead of not safe enough. The implication is that instead of being a controller of traffic, it becomes a controller of opinion. Of right think and wrong think. Which may be ever changing and subject to institutional pressure. Combined with point 3, you're no longer a proxy. You're the source of truth and the source of what's right.

5) Some say that the open web is already close to dead thus the already ongoing trend of people resorting into private spaces (Discord, Mastodon, etc) might accelerate. An open web and a closed human web. Even in the closed human web AI-generated content can and will penetrate so there will be attempts to detect it. Which is likely futile, because one can use AI-generated content and then tweak it to make it more human-like.

6) We need legislation ASAP. None of our regulations and laws are designed for what is coming. Do you really want a congressional hearing 10 years from now where a 75-year old asks "So this AI thing, is it like a smart calculator?", after all damage has already been done?

7) We should unite in at least some basic pushback. Stop thinking in individual use cases like AI art, Copilot and GPT3. Think about the broader problem where all of human creation is sucked up for free and without permission, after which all benefits are centralized up to the point of even replacing you. It's a shared, human problem. We're unlikely to stop it but at least don't make it this easy.

The problems are not discoverability, but servers. GitHub is mainly successful because they simply offer services for free, and maintain them well. Most other features they offer is just a bonus. Though, at this point the weight of their accumulated fame, features and repos is also a reason for continuation, as long as they behave well enough.

Leak of code can be very damaging, not just because it might reveal vulnerabilities but also because it will reveal IP and will allow all sorts of 'IP theft'. Then, losing the code altogether is the death of the company.
Well, y'know then Poe's Law[0] kicks in. Repeating racist dogwhistles but doing it "to own the libs" is y'know, still repeating racist dogwhistles. I can totally understand a company like GitHub for purely cynical money reasons not wanting to be affiliated with that sort of thing even if it's ironic (which, Poes Law, I have no reason to believe is the case with Automatic).

As for the OK sign thing; that was a case of "4chan sliced a bunch of older pictures together of Trump and his ilk making an OK-sign" (which yeah, it's a common hand gesture, wow). The kinda strange thing is that it resulted in a sort of self-perpetuating effect; you had in part the media falling for the prank, but at the same time, those very same Trump supporters started doing the OK-hand deliberately to indicate what political "team" they belonged on.

It fell out of favor with those Trump supporters after a bit (because y'know, it was just a trend and trends defined solely by "trolling the libs" don't tend to last; eventually "the libs" catch on and they need something new).

Basically doing something ironically can make the people whose behavior you're emulating think they're in good company. Unless you take it to straight up absurdist levels (no Nazi will ever use Springtime for Hitler as propaganda), that will always happen.

Stuff like being clear about it being made to mock (as with Poes Law, which suggests things like the /s sarcasm marker) or extreme absurdity (Springtime) helps avoid that.

Instead of your speculation, let me be the expert to explain your speculation is wrong.

1. ASC 842 states that lease liabilities should be measured by lease terms that are non-cancellable. In this case, these are Amazon’s non-cancellable leases.

2. The average lease term remaining is ~9-11 years for Amazon.

3. Lease liabilities are present value calculations, ie. They are not as you suggested 50 years x $1M/yr. They represent the present value of the discounted cash flows. The discount rates are disclosed.

The article did mention that this breach did not include the “primary codebase”. Where is the rest of the code hosted? I’m guessing some private Git server (e.g. “on-prem” GitHub/GitLab Enterprise)?
There's actually a lot of processing done to the picture in the store and typically in the out-of-the-box settings, that's pretty annoying and overdone when watching regular content. During my first weeks with a 4K OLED TV I've disabled almost all processing possible, so the image is more neutral and life-like. I don't really notice much difference between 1080p and 4K with that settings.

One thing that I found to be a huge improvement though is Dolby Vision.
I had the exact same issue and spent a lot of time figuring out why this was a problem for me, as I would alter between my old 15 inch and new 16 inch and feel the difference each time.

Long story short, I found a solution that removed all my issues;

- Use the accessibility «contrast» feature set to level 2

- Use an app[0] that applies a gamme filter to adjust the white level down to account for the contrast increase

- (optional) use an srgb color profile that disables temporal dithering of colors

This reduces you max brightness level to the same amount as the old 15 inch (I don’t need the extra brightness) but allowes you to keep the backlight at max output, minimizing the pvm strobing effect[0] that some people seem to be sensitive to.

Yes, this is well known, they had a major breach earlier in 2022 that apparently leaked all of their Github tokens. This happened almost simultaneously to the Heroku leak and is thought to be connected to it. From OP's link, it sounds like they had another one recently—maybe another group re-using the first vulnerability?
If you don't communicate, you lose the narrative. As the article highlights, it seems Slack has gone out of its way to exclude this incident report from appearing in Google searches. As a result this article will likely appear first.

It is also worth nothing that other major breaches (LastPass) were preceded by source code breaches. The corresponding incident reports also included re-assurances that there was no impact on customer safety. The Slack incident report doesn't specify what type of Github repos were accessed, so it is hard to judge if any sensitive code has been leaked.

From the recent LastPass security incident report:

Based on our investigation to date, we have learned that an unknown threat actor accessed a cloud-based storage environment leveraging information obtained from the incident we previously disclosed in August of 2022 (source code breach)

Yes, getting only "the best of the best" doesn't scale. I fully agree.

But it also doesn't work for smaller teams, because people are people.

Now we're back to my previous argument: The probability to get a team of only excellent (or terrible) people is near zero in reality independent of team size.

Everything put together finally invalidates the original:

> > Same thing happened with "small schools perform better" so they got funded. But turns out it's possible for them to perform terribly for the same reason it is for them to perform well.

> Joint probability all members are either all excellent or all terrible is higher when the number of people is smaller.

Trying to approach this conclusion by statistics just doesn't work as we see.

But the non stochastic arguments why small teams are always in advantage, which I presented in my other post, hold.
Nope, not weird. I feel exactly the same way.

Chess and other games are solved, because they use well-defined rules, and have a combinatorial explosion that we cannot comprehend.

Text and art are not solved. What would solved even mean for those? There are NNs which produce decent output given a simple prompt, but e.g. art is characterized to a large extent by development over time. Stable Diffusion isn't going to develop by itself.

Robotics OTOH is much simpler, but it might depend on your expectations. Look at Boston Dynamics.
I agree with what you're saying. I don't like racist/homophobic/transphobic behavior but I find it hard to reconcile that with free speech. And I think they only way you can change someone's mind is by allowing free speech and engaging in conversations with them to try to change their minds. Banning them would just make them look for other channels to communicate and find like minded people and their bad ideas will never be challenged.

You mentioned the "black little mermaid" and it's hard not to draw a parallel between a mod in a game that allows you to change the skin color of a character and the "woke" media race swapping well known characters like the little mermaid, Triss from the Witcher, Achilles, etc.

I agree that this is one likely interpretation but it's not the only one and it's yet to be tested in the courts.
> Rust does everything that C does while making programmer more productive. Look at what Linux Kernel hackers say about it. They are the ones who know things about C.

Anybody can submit a patch to the Linux kernel (which is great of course). Any big names (long term kernel development) backing it?

That said, kernel development has different constraints to userspace application development. For kernel drivers for example, sometimes you really are pulling absolutely every trick out of the book just to squeeze enough performance out.

> Nobody said it will. But segfaults hardly come from poor design. They come from accidental mistakes, lack of static analysis, and gotchas that your language offers.

Sure, but there are a few simple patterns when used throughout that are quite reliable. There are quite a few books out there on writing safe and reliable C.

> > now it is harder to develop

> Only if you're a C programmer who doesn't know Rust.

Maybe, but I'm not yet sold that the added 'dance' you have to perform with Rust is worth excluding one type of bug.

> This is plan false. Please back it up.

Every C program can theoretically [+] be compiled to be the same as a Rust binary, but not every Rust program could be compiled to be the same as a C binary [1].

> Try using it for a week, and count for me how many times it segfaults on your face. (That is not to diminish Grigory's work, which I have nothing against.)

I use it quite regularly. Even more regularly I use C++, I simply program with it in the same way one would do using Java as pure OO and no raw pointer magic (except in rare, well tested cases). The less magic used, the more reusable your code will be in the future.

[+] Not exactly, but close enough.

I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say Android has had a bigger impact on Windows then .NET, but each to their own.

It is also worth noting that Android is Google’s own implementation of Java and has nothing to do with Microsoft’s code (J++) nor Sun/Oracles either. So regardless of opinions about “impact”, I’m not really convinced Android is even in the scope of this conversation.

Too late to edit, but I think this passage from the article fits here quite well:

>> Take the story of a group of fallen angels who descend to earth to seduce beautiful women. Using his new technique, Langlois discovered that earlier scholars had gotten the names of some of the angels wrong, and so had not realized the names were derived from Canaanite gods worshipped in the second millennium B.C.—a clear example of the way scriptural authors integrated elements of the cultures that surrounded them into their theologies.

The priests from the new religion wrote a text portraying the ancient gods as "evil". Sounds like an efficient use of propaganda to me. And that is something that makes historical research of religious texts very worthwhile.
Evidently we are getting there. It is already more than 50%.
In addition to the usual people making constant demands and generally being rude and unappreciative, there's one person in particular in the community who is especially relentless.

They're known for being non-stop rude practically on a daily basis, have been doing so for years across multiple projects, evading bans with multiple accounts, impersonating other people in the community. This person is relentless in being rude to developers and doesn't seem to show any remorse or understanding.
