I'm not an expert on the Lisa or Pascal, but my understanding is that Lisa Pascal did compile natively (vs. p-compilers) and was based on the UCSD Pascal dialect (which introduced units), and that Clascal (and later Object Pascal) extended it with objects and classes. The Lisa Workshop's text menu-based command interface appears to resemble that of the UCSD p-System, though it provided access to a mouse-based editor with a Lisa-style GUI.
> I assume once a model is loaded, many queries can be serviced by that model quickly.

Depends. If you have room to load the whole model, yes. If you need to swap in and out parts of the model, then it matters if you have enough RAM.
Something about this problem smells queuing theory.

We all know the solution! Over provisioning. Leave some slack in your calendars damnit.
>Sure, do that. The cops won't chase you, they'll just be waiting for you at the toll booth. I'm sure Waze will get you out of it.

Never once happened to me having driven hundreds of thousands of kilometers through these countries, but YMMV.

We usually wear matching hoodies on any longer trips to combat driver identification anyway. If the cops actually make an effort, you just perform some acrobatics inside the car so they won't be able to tell which of the passengers was driving.

> know that getting caught once is a 1500€ fine and your car seized

Can't seize a car the driver doesn't own. Unless you mean impounding it and requiring you to pay some small release fee?

>Needless to say, we don't need drivers like you on our roads, and I dearly hope you do crash at that speed and permanently rid us of you.

Unnecessarily harsh. I reckon it'd be better for everybody if I didn't crash at that speed.
It used to be like that in the past, but now it's changing... For example Qonto, Spendesk - fintech unicorns, so rather serious companies - rely on Forest Admin. And if you talk to ops people using natively built internal tools, they typically complain about them a lot.
Ah, so that will have some features of ASLR missing. Specifically, you can't do this on a read only root and it didn't randomise the stack location as far as I can tell?
You know, I'm fairly sure that there is more than just procrastination at play. This feels like some human mal-adaptation where we do anything (or nothing) to avoid dealing with That One Terrible Thing, whatever it may be.

Throughout my career I've had this feeling or state of thinking multiple times, whether I had to work with legacy code, uncooperative individuals, or just a week ago, work with a bad DB schema and write complex queries against it.

In my case, procrastination was just a consequence of wanting to do something but I very clearly also remember just sitting and staring at the task at hand, doing absolutely nothing, because I couldn't stomach how bad everything about the task that needed to be done was - bunches of redundant tables, illogical linking of data, lots of overcomplication, no documentation and no examples of helpful queries whatsoever.

> If you're not just making slow progress but literally unable to make a single bit of progress, my goto strategy is similar to what writers call a vomit draft.

In the end, just forcing myself to get started, writing out the dozen of different things I needed as a part of the query and then working backwards through everything, was what worked. It took hours of uninterrupted work, I felt miserable throughout it, but I got things done in the end, all because of that decision to actually work on it and deal with the pain and suffering, very much how someone would need to make the leap to dive into legacy code, or an issue for a project that doesn't have monitoring or instrumentation, or writing a thesis.

I think that's why techniques like Pomodoro also get recommended, because if you trick yourself into saying that you'll only do a bit of suffering (work on the horrible thing) now and will take a break later, it's more tolerable: https://todoist.com/productivity-methods/pomodoro-technique

I'm just writing this because to me it feels different from how people commonly view procrastination: just getting distracted and wanting dopamine, as opposed to being able to stare at the computer for an hour without doing anything, just because doing the thing would be horrible. The latter feeling makes you want to quit your academical program (which seems like what the author is dealing with a little bit), or maybe draft your resignation and leave the job market for a bit instead of dealing with the codebase or whatever (which I did, albeit for different and less negative reasons in my case).
I think it's valid to argue that you shouldn't be able to put some of commas, quotes, and newlines inside fields at all. And comma versus semicolon.

But that doesn't extend to using backslash escapes in something that's legitimately trying to be CSV. That's someone getting confused and implementing a mix of data formats, or trying to be clever and making an extended CSV format.

The problem is your advisor sent you on an unknown journey. A Ph.D. thesis isn't a postdoc project. You needed guidance on the journey and course correction but didn't receive any.

I also went on an unknown journey but the difference was I had a weekly meeting with my advisor and we talked and tried to find a solution. I wrote a few pages in my thesis explaining all our failed approaches. But the difference was my advisor helped me. He saw me working on a dead-end solution and he said it doesn't work to find a different solution. After 5 or 6 attempts, we found a solution.

PhD advisor is not necessary someone who knows the topic. It's someone who teaches you the research and guides you.

>you just initialize the context window with the desired number 500-600 number ab to be factorized

You also have to initialize the initial random context correctly correlated with your initial ab prompt (before the prompt, aka the initial state) which it has used to generate this number ab. For example give it a feature vector corresponding to a, b, and ab written in binary (in the way the network has learned to do). It won't ever learn to invert the one way function ab-> a,b from only being shown ab.

In practice, the learning signal will be quite weak because only when it has seen ab,a,b aka at the last character and back-propagate it through to the initial time (in training all previous character level prediction will amount to noise that it will have to learn to model first to be able to ignore ("Benford's law" distortion ??) , (or you can just give weight of zero to these intermediate character predictions that only add to the noise)

About the deterministic/randomness, the task is fundamentally deterministic as it has a single answer, so noise won't help but a non-deterministic network can/will learn to produce deterministic output without problem. In fact if at any point the network output a wrong digit, it won't be able to recover (except if you give him some character like backspace in which case each time it outputs a wrong digit not corresponding to its initial state that it want to write it will output a backspace for the next character and try its luck again ) and the answer will be wrong, but the output will look something like ab,a,b where a and b are real primes but with some wrong digits (like if they had been corrupted by a noisy channel).
Hidden datasets can be replaced with model predictions collected from a public API. So they can be "exfiltrated" from the trained model. And we already maxed out on the accessible online text and the good quality sources.

What is going to make a difference is running models to generate more text for training, because relying on humans alone doesn't scale. For example we could be using LLMs to do brute force problem solving and then fine-tuning on solutions.

AlphaZero is the shining example of a model trained on its own generated data and surpassing us at our own game. The self generated data approach has potential to reach super human levels of performance.

> Projects in C/C++ seem to be making much faster progress eg. SerenityOS than the Rust community. What is holding Rust back in this area? This is a genuine question, not intending to inflame the discussion. I'm spending some time learning Rust as I can afford, but am not opinionated one way or the other yet.

You're not wrong, but replace 'SerenityOS' with 'Fuchsia'. Since the latter is a much serious OS that uses Rust for its drivers.

Maybe some day Fuchsia's Zircon kernel will be rewritten in Rust and then we can all come back to this again.

UNIX-like OSes, C/C++ were just not designed for security. It is time we leave UNIX in the past and start on a clean state with the state-of-the-art and little to no legacy cruft.
We can be pretty sure it's not to protect anyone. Anybody too dangerous to allow on an airplane should probably be behind bars. What it does accomplish is letting the government punish people without justification let alone a trial and with pretty much no transparency or consequences when innocent people end up being hurt by it. I imagine that's a power which is hard to surrender, and 'we the people' haven't exactly been insisting that they give it up either.

Everyday you can see the affect that speed has where cars are driving far too close together at speeds where a collision will occur before the driver has mentally registered a need to apply the breaks.
Yup, that kind of thing can happen. Many years ago I was in Norway with a friend, and a truck cut a corner on the road and scraped the side of my friends car. The truck driver refused any responsibility (evidently because we were tourists, and he knew we weren't gonna stay in Norway to drive claims against him), but we took pictures and all the details etc.

Insurance paid for the repairs to the car, and apparently the insurance company arranged for an outstanding warrant on the truck/driver, and several years later my friend got a notice from the insurance company that the truck driver had been detained upon entering Finland and forced to pay.
In a country where the first responders, hospitals, etc. are obligated to provide expensive services and care for victims of motor vehicle accidents - regardless of their ability to pay - there is the moral and public policy issue of "My high-speed fun, somebody else's high taxes and medical bills".

Let's not pretend the food production subsidies are there for some kind of altruistic reasons. They're mostly there because of lobbyism.

There are also people who say that the overproduction of food in EU and US causes underproduction of food in poorer countries, making them less self sufficient and more sensitive to price increases and supply chain disruptions.
Amusingly, "they" is not one of the pronouns it prefers.

There's no alternative here. You're asking for a law where a driver gets to interpret the situation and decide whether a traffic law should apply to them or not. That's just unenforceable, imagine trivial court cases hinging on whether a "reasonable person" would drive a certain speed. Plus, most drivers think they're a better and safer driver than they really are. Do you really trust them to correctly assess the risk, not just to themselves but to others? I certainly don't.

These rules have to be black and white! Do triple digit (mph) speeds on a highway? Get an expensive ticket, even if the highway wasn't busy.
Since knowledge ≠ competence I’m not sure what exactly we can make of this. Medical training involves a heavy layer of knowledge in interrelated disciplines but there’s a large procedural layer, that entities without opposable thumbs, let alone hands, cannot perform. Hopefully by the time that aspect of medical practice automation arrives we will have developed more standards around what level of safety is required before freeing it in the real world. As opposed to, say, full self-driving.

> Supply chain? They didn't have an international supply chain 100 years ago. They barely had one 50 years ago. The world will be fine without one for awhile.

Yes, because they used to have local factories and mines that they built up over decades. Then as globalization and direct international investments were encouraged instead of trade, factories and mines were closed down and production moved to China/India/S Korea/Japan/Taiwan etc. Going to the point that cloth masks couldn't be produced in any significant numbers in the USA or Europe when a pandemic hit.

You can stay within the given limit and fear nothing though.
This is definitely good advice for fleshing out the actual writing, I used this ontop of to the paragraph planning. So you build out a mindmap style plan with part > chapter > section > sub-section > sub-sub-section / figures / tables > couple words for a paragraph. Then you manage everything at the lowest level, you work out how many paragraphs you need by when. You pick paragraphs at random even if you dont have the results or good stuff to say you write the vomit draft of that paragraph. Then you pick just one thats already written and edit it. Repeat until you run out of time. It's the only way I managed to finish my thesis. The other thing I did was always do a writing warm up, so just something free flowing off the top of your head but still a bit technical. Maybe some instructions on how to make a cup of tea for an alien in low gravity. Without a plan though you can't validate you can actually finish, which is insanely important for motivation. You need the concept of % progress and time left. Also you need to know you've done enough work to actually write a thesis or if you need to do more work, and what work you actually need. The definition here is also a paragraph is about 3-5 sentences, a sentence being around 10 words. It is extremely hard to fail to write 50 words. That sense of failing to write is the mind killer. After a session even if that session lasts 20 minutes and you only wrote 50 words you update the spreadsheet showing vomit to edit progress. Until I did all this my progress was almost nothing.

In the absolutely fantastic novel Too Like Lightning there was a character that is famous for the life-like dolls made of it. Eventually it comes to term with the fact that its preferred identifier is "it" because it feels more comfortable being referred to as a doll, or inhuman, i.e. literally objectified, than it does with being considered traditionally human.

I also feel uncomfortable using "it" as a pronoun, luckily this person seems comfortable with "she/her" as well so we can just use those instead.
