The keyboard layout they picked is super weird. I'm on a split board and am pretty familiar with them and split style one piece boards. Rather than making it symmetrical they made the 6 row super low. The worst is the bottom row. Two small buttons means you better hope your hands rest in the right place.

I'm all for alternative keyboards but this one is not great.

This is very well said and I think it helps to spend time doing concrete things that are not really required of you.

Especially physical things that naturally take more time implementing than it would take to pull additional ideas out of thin air, even if you just build a proof of concept.

You end up spending a lot of time thinking about things that are not required of you but are required by a project that's not required of you, and it can require incremental innovation to progress toward a rewarding milestone.

When you get accustomed to this you will be regularly thinking a whole lot more about things you would not have otherwise, and you will have some structure in place set aside in case such a brilliant idea comes along and you want to build more than a proof-of-concept.

Sometimes working without a deadline is key to actually reaching a milestone eventually, compared to unrealistic time pressure which can take so much energy accelerating up to anticipated speed, that things fizzle without going as much distance by the same future point in time beyond the deadline after all.

This is also one of those things that a lot of people are pressured to never spend time pursuing. If you do it you will be very different and so will your innovations, although without a deadline you may be at a disadvantage when it comes to extreme urgency, you can have an extreme advantage when urgency is not the utmost consideration.

Sometimes you just need to get out and breathe a little fresh air.

Not necessarily true, if (as the hypothesis goes) dreams are just an alternate (incorrect) decoding of your existing memories, experienced as a side-effect of the process of memory reconsolidation — the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake of what's in your short-term memory buffer.

If that hypothesis holds, then "remembering" dreams wouldn't be like "remembering" regular memories, requiring independent storage of the data about them, but rather would be "free" as long as you retain the memory that the dream is an incorrect decoding of — the "memory" for the dream just being a pointer to the original memory, plus a pointer to the mental trick to reinterpret it. Such data wouldn't take up more than a trivial amount of space to "remember", any more than procedurally-generated background art in old video games take up space to "store."

(But, of course, the downside is these dream-pointers are probably not "strong references" to the things they point at from the brain's memory garbage-collection perspective — which is why dreams are so easily forgotten in the first place. Forget the original thing, and you forget the dream, whether you intend to remember the dream or not!)

Most languages have something like this, usually around async.

For instance NodeJS has had a bit of this around promises, and eventually needed to institute the rule “if a promise rejects with an error, anf nobody is around to hear it, we will crash your program on the assumption that you probably needed to clean up some resources but didn't and now they're going to leak. Listen to the error with a handler that does nothing, if we are wrong about that.”

You're probably going to need a reference to the task in order to inspect it in the debugger. Creating that reference prevents the bug.
I agree with a bunch of points here, but this author reveals a spectacular gap when they mention qsort and bsearch without mentioning the high cost of the repeat function pointer calls on a modern CPU.

A good qsort or bsearch mechanism would allow the comparisons to be inlined. Performance critical code can't use the libc versions due to this.
Yes, sorry, I realized this only later.

And it doesn't make sense to me either.

Gatekeeping is one of the central aspects of modern medicine. Maybe a hundred years ago, when we had a free country and you could buy heroin over the counter, there was nobody gatekeeping what you did to your own body. But now we’ve corrected a pretty long way in the other direction.

In principle I think consenting adults should be able to do whatever they want with their own bodies, but consent needs to be informed and the person needs to be mentally capable of consent. You need some degree of gatekeeping just to reach that bar. And this is going to be an even bigger concern with children.

If you look critically at the research papers being published on these topics as a means to champion it, your hopes will be dashed.

As a Checkvist user, too, I'm really happy whenever I see it mentioned. It deserves a lot of credit for all the things it does right, keyboard shortcuts especially.
Where would you say a UI framework (e.g. AppKit, Qt, etc) falls under this? Seems to straddling between utility and platform, and while I can see the benefit in keeping proprietary forks at bay one would probably want to enable the widest possible usage.
No web3/crypto, though.
The numbers are just far lower then cars. The individual parts are far larger and far lower numbers. You can't have as much economics of scale.

Also, every customer has a lot of wishes. Imagine it more like Uber buying 1 million GM cars demanding to have costume interior and many other details.

It really depends on what the train is supposed to do. A train is mostly costume to its mission. An S-Bahn that operates more like metro, needs lots of large doors with a open layout. The same basic train can also be configured for an inter-city operations, having very different layout, different doors and so on.

And each country has different standard, differ track gauge, loading gauge, signaling, breaking and so on. Accessibility standards is another huge thing that is slight different everywhere.

But even so, lots of train types are quite similar, lots of train are built on the same platforms. Each of the manufactures have a few standard platforms. And inside different train there is lots of reuse.
That wasn't the point of my message.
That is true. But it is weaker than GPL in that it permits mixing CDDL code with non-CDDL code.

The argument that the essay appears to be making is that large companies want to establish themselves as monopolies by requiring that competing forks publish their changes, incorporating the good changes, and outgunning them on overall development effort. My reading is that the CDDL would not force forks to publish the source code for changes that are made to non-CDDL source files.

Power is the end goal. A student says they were harmed, uses moral outrage to force a change, thereby reinforcing the behavior. Cancel culture and BLM are about exerting power and making others do something they don't want to do.

Motive matters. There is a world of difference between intentionally trying to infect others and doing your best to not infect while still using the right to travel.

A distinction you have failed to acknowledge at all in your narrative. You simply assume guilt and appear to have no real conceptual understanding of justice, guilt, fault and appropriate punishments.

This individual has needs and rights that must be upheld as well.

The ends justify the means is a terrible philosophy that, if pursued, ends in sorrow. Another way to describe it is the many out weigh the few. It is the pavement of the road leading to pretty much every totalitarian government in history.

Finally, every day activities entail a certain amount of risk. Car accidents, disease, pests. You assume these risks to participate in public and they cannot be eliminated. Reasonable efforts to reduce them is fine, but there is a growing mentality that any risk you impose on others is unacceptable and this is an untenable position. You can't reasonably zero out risk.
Hey, I saw a brand new BART rail car in Omaha a few weeks ago! It was heading west on interstate 80, on a trailer, being pulled by a semi truck...

I couldn’t help but feel like there was something wrong with that situation.

A few years ago, I saw a big line of brand new VIA rail locomotives (the Canadian version of Amtrak) heading east in Chicago. But at least they were on CN railroad tracks under their own power…

The company can collect it on behalf of the service, they might even have a tip pool in place, but in Washington state at least, there are strict rules in who gets the tips, even if they are made via a credit card/digital interface. Yes, businesses are free to break labor laws, but Washington state is very aggressive about punishing that kind of law breaking, so it just takes one employee to make a complaint.

So, envy is not conceptually immoral on your view. It's perhaps a positivist's type of resentment, I take it. If that's the case, then I think I understand where you are coming from.

Don't feel any shame in turning down the difficulty a bit while you are learning (turning down spawn rate, starting with more stats etc.) My brother turns off spawns all together and just plays it as a survival sandbox game. That's pretty extreme but the game has a lot to offer outside of combat, and if the difficulty is too high to get to any of that, turn it down.

With that being said, you should be dying pretty often. I think I made about 50 characters before I made it to winter for the first time.

Yes. And there are lots of mandatory tips going on as well, but in any case, as long as they call it a "tip", Washington state requires it to go to either servers or servers and kitchen staff (if a tip pool is in place).
It absolutely is common. People see there is a len function that takes one argument, they call len(some_collection), see that it indeed returns the number of items in the collection like they expect and move on. They don't expect len to return a negative number instead on Thursdays, and of course it doesn't because that would be a pretty big footgun. People also see that there is a create_task function that takes a coroutine, they call create_task(some_coroutine), see that the coroutine indeed runs like they expect, and move on. Sure, you're supposed to await the result, but maybe they don't need the awaited value anymore, only the side effects, and see that it still works.
The sooner Silicon Valley comes to grips with the fact the world has fundamentally changed the better. The F-22 has been around since the 90s without any air to air engagement. This last week it happened 2x. If tech lives in its own world where it can do anything to grow user base or make money then society will crush it. It's mind boggling that tech hasn't grasped this yet. The same privileges society has given to tech on the way, can be taken away and used against to bring it to heel.
Beyond the other answers, I’ll point out that pytorch is developing tools that will make doing this work by hand or implementing in a framework much easier. They’re building a native DTensor implementation and testing out SPMD-style distributed models with pipelining. DTensor is in torch.distributed, and the SPMD code is in the repo called Tau under the pytorch org on github.
Dumb question, but do you have ID of your house on the chip? You could at least have a high and low threshold for your house and compare it to other houses.

Seems like the predominant sentiment in that thread is along the lines of “whatever, it’s just predicting language”. Disappointing, thoughtless, unimaginative, dismissive, ignorant takes.
And that repo you linked to has 1846 issues, 161 open. Which doesn't seem extraordinary based on my limited exposure to k8s.

Maybe I'm wrong and this is all a good sign of progress, but my impression is that the entire k8s ecosystem is held together with reused duct tape.
I do view language models as intelligent, but in a very alien sense. One of the key differences is that each transaction is ephemeral. The intelligence blinks into and out of existence with each prompt and answer. Beyond each dialogue, it has no memory.

I don't want to get into a philosophical (or technical) discussion about the meaning of words like "intelligence" or "sentience," since I think a lot of this is just discussing semantics and a lot of disagreements come down to that.

Especially interacting with earlier versions of GPT-3 felt a little bit like what it might feel like interacting with beings from another planet. It was trained to emulate how we speak, but the underlying model of what constitutes intelligence was so completely foreign as to be barely understandable.

Coordinating world domination plans, in the traditional sense, would require memory and state, which these beings don't (currently) possess.

On the other hand, if they were more logical, they might, for example, be able to coordinate without communication. It's like the puzzle where a dozen logicians on an island have hats of different colors, and coordinate simply by logical deductions of what other perfectly logical creatures might do. Or it might be something completely foreign to us.

I am very curious where this pathway leads. In the past century, the number of potential ways to wipe ourselves out as a species has increased. There were zero ways in 1930. By 1950, we had nuclear warheads capable of destroying the world. Today, we have:

- The capability to pollute our climate and make Earth inhospitable

- The capability to genetically engineer super-viruses which can kill us all

Will AI be another one potential way to wipe ourselves out? Will the number of existential threats just keep increasing?

Children do stupid things. Gate keeping them from touching a flame or walking off a balcony or any other experience they have no concept of is what parents do. It is to indoctrinate until children learns their own way and that generally happens once they understand the world better.

If we let children do as they do because it was their body then where would we be as responsible parents.
>because of the unusual reproductive strategy they use where all the members of a hive are siblings

Specifically, eusocial insects are haplodiploidic, where workers are more related to each other (sharing 75% of their genes) than they would be to their own children, which reduces the genetic incentive to defect from the cooperative structure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplodiploidy

This sounds outrageously strange, but something similar can happen in humans: identical twins are also more related to each other than to their children.

If we were living in a simulation, I think it would be programmed in such a way that it would be emergent. A bit like a mandelbrot set, where the rules are simple but the complexity is infinite. No need to texture anything if the rules define what the texture would look like by a minimal fixed set of rules (laws of nature).
Static typing is not only about declaring your arguments and variables as simple types (int, float, array of ints etc).

It means having a distinct type for any complex structure you pass around (think pre-normalization API params, post-normalization API params, slightly enriched post-processing data as separate type vs a dict of str to anything in Python), or anything you want to make compatible (think interfaces vs duck typing).
There's a "b" in "about", but there's no "k" or "m".
Also worth noting that the page says:

> The above observations regarding moral rights imply that putting code under an ISC or two-clause BSD license essentially makes the code as free as it can possibly get.

Emphasis on: or two-clause BSD license.

That said, the ultimate recommendation on the page is ISC, but only because:

> The ISC copyright is functionally equivalent to a two-term BSD copyright with language removed that is made unnecessary by the Berne convention.
If you have the capability to run such a simulation, why not start from time=0 and just let it run... if you already have near infinite compute ability what does it matter? If you are an observer outside the universe so to speak does time even happen?
