It's strange, choosing to stick out a Ph.D. (and not just get a masters and be happy) really cemented the competitiveness in my mind for years. I knew from the start I'd never make it to Deep Mind, but I had figured my experience as a SWE and other internships would make me a competitive Research Engineer. Now that I'm applying for jobs and not doing as well as I expected, it's a huge emotional negative for me. I tell myself "Journey before destination" and that I really can focus on my family and enjoy my life, but it doesn't stop the hyper-rational part of myself from saying "but you could have been a self-actualized top research engineer and a family man." To answer you question of "Why fight?", it's that I cannot stop myself, despite trying.
For my paper, it just straight up invented most of the "relevant references" section
With servers it's expected to have someone to actually take care of them - I.e. do maintenance work like reboot once a month or use LivePatch or other measures.

Note though, snapd updates packages for you by default and was not an option to disable this as well.

2nd note - once you are talking about servers - I believe Windows Server has much fine grained control over this.

I generally had once or twice my Windows 11 Pro Insider Beta machine to reboot forcibly - usually I see notification on pending reboots and even been asked when to do it/delay. Cannot complain here.

Actually it is written in Janet programming language.
I liked Mozilla's idea of pdf.js since it is intrinsically sandboxed by using javascript, and makes use of all the architecture that it is already providing rather than shipping an entirely separate rendering pipeline.

Adobe's products have been a source of endless security vulnerabilities, and no matter how much sandboxing you do it is intrinsically unsafe.

The first best thing would be for PDF to die, but the second best thing would be pdf.js

If you care about security, turn off this feature and use the pdf.js extension. If you absolutely need form-filling, then run the standalone adobe reader and uninstall it at the earliest possible time.

The consensus for years has been that 100KW is about where lasers become militarily useful. Solid state lasers are about there now.

There's a new line of development - the Tactical Ultrashort Pulsed Laser. One terawatt for 200 femtoseconds. Unclear what that will do. It's not much energy.

Because

1. Any political movement will attract people who are hungry for power-for-power’s-sake or to inflate their own ego. Naiveté about this is malpractice in the same way that US naïveté about Chalabi was malpractice.

Iranians who are naive to the point of self-deception will be as misleading as those who are willfully deceptive. Discernment without undue cynicism is necessary but hard.

From the perspective of the US/UK, Iran and Iraq are pretty culturally similar. They are strangers to us. Lets not pretend to be more anthropologically/politically knowledgeable than we are.

2. We don’t have access to reliable intelligence. It is wise to be humble about our ability to sort fact from myth from falsehood.

3. If we want this to succeed, then we want marginal (in the sense of “swing voters”) and civic-minded Iranians to switch to supporting this. Those Iranians will have “CIA-backed coup” as a historical memory so it is worth empathizing with them.
Sounds great to me because you are forced to delete code that's not in use anymore. Without the monorepo, that code would still be there with old libraries that are potentially insecure.

Deleting code that is not being used anymore happens way too rarely in my opinion.
I have to assume that the answer is suicide which is tragically all too common in the trans community. They are denied basic medical care and the psychological pain is too much to bare. Tragically this mechanism of targeting trans people and, basically, encouraging their suicide is happening or is starting to happen in some western countries as well. I guess the world is united in this at least - hate for queer folk.
Is OpenAI's ChatGPT open source?

If not, the argument this person is making with this following statement:

"...would have discarded the whole software industry in 1972 as "just a wrapper on top of the C programming language".

is a complete strawman and a borderline non sequitur argument.

Unless we do see a viable open source ChatGPT competitor, all the moat goes to Microsoft / OpenAI, which is why everyone is rushing to get in on ChatGPT's API to depend their business on it.

So "just a wrapper on top of GPT3" is a completely valid argument.

go figure...
Then why not BASIC ?
> If we can convince Congress

That sounds good yet in practice even medical hippa privacy is bunk. Last week I went to a big hospital for a walk-in xray. They refused to take the pictures until I consented to their standard forms which provide for my results to be given to unnamed research groups. The check-in person acted like I was the first person ever to try to strike out that part of the form/contract. They literally refused treatment and the 'patient advocate' played her role of being pleasant and clueless.

I complained to hospital licensing at State which was rejected because it was not an unsafe care issue.
It’s okay to disagree with others in the thread, but there is no need to be insulting about it and accusing people of not having basic reading comprehension.

You might have been serious or not when writing that, but framing your comment in a more positive manner will result in better discussion.

This is by now a problem so pervasive that even economists puzzle over (the missing information technology productivity gain)

But this text is part of the problem really, as it is too simplistic and doesnt feel like it identifies fundamental recipes for building better software

sci-fi reflects reality. People are not as hopeful as they were in 1960. Most worlds inside and outside the federation are not perfect and many have rules that don't match our own. We only see what happens in the military in space. Money means little to them but it does to regular people (like Jake's grandfather who worked in a kitchen or other species of things default to trading. We see gambling and some clues of what happens outside of the military. That's not everyone future..

Sounds sane, usually you don't want multiple versions just because people were too lazy to keep code up to date. But in some instances it's probably worth supporting several major versions across the whole org.
Sounds like Blackwater to me, including sample unpunished accusations of war crimes like spraying crowds of civilians with automatic fire.

We all know US will declare war on Belgium IIRC if international court of justice will ever sentence any US soldier, all pretty unique scenarios.

Blue helmets may not all be saints, but they did and do some important security work in semi-failed states ie in Africa where otherwise gangs would chop civilians from other tribes if left unchecked. Also kept Balcan states more stable after war. You are simply choosing to not see forest for the trees for whatever personal reasons.
The Nazi Reich? Arguably it brought about its own downfall via its misguided attempts at "invasion" - at any rate it was about as violent and sudden an end to a regime as you could ask for. But history is full of coups d'etat that didn't necessarily negatively impact the greater population all that directly.

One way amateurs can help is by setting up a meteor detection system and engaging in a little citizen science. A few years ago this was an expensive task, but now with a Raspberry Pi and some simple electronic parts it’s much easier.

Yes. Silicon Valley is a trap.

You can’t afford to have parents nearby unless they already are (as these folks have)

Everything related to families is a cash grab and a SFH in Palo Alto, Peninsula or Cupertino means throwing any hope of early financial freedom. A FAANG job will pay more but for how you can live almost anywhere else in the country, a remote job at 2/3 the salary is much much better.

Sighting a UFO in Sydney, Australia during the 80s:

I was playing with my friend Lucas when I spotted a silver disc floating in the air. It was shaped like the classic, stereotypical image of a UFO that we often think of today. At that time, as kids, we had no clue as to what it could be.

It was 2x the size of the moon and remained stationary. Despite being too young to understand what a UFO was, I remember the experience vividly. The UFO I saw as a child had no lights, no aliens, no noise, and no incredible speeds. It was not the kind of exciting event that would thrill a child.

We informed Lucas' mother, who then rang up his uncle, who was a pilot. However, he was unable to identify the object. At the time, the experience was not particularly exciting for me as I didn't have a concept of what a UFO was, and so we simply continued playing.

Later, when we looked up again, the object had vanished. I'm afraid that's it!
But will Edge Linux get it?
I completely agree.

However, over here in Japan, we have a similar problem with Mount Fuji, which could possibly erupt in the next 100 years, with catastrophic consequences. Perhaps this project could be done here instead. And unlike America, this country has little trouble summoning the political will to do big things, which is why it's building a mostly-underground maglev line between two major cities (Tokyo and Nagoya) right now.
With years of experience building innovative products for different industries we know how to determine the best toolset for each case. And today it’s product management tools that we’re talking about.

Product management is a vital part of modern business. It manages a company’s products and services from conception to delivery. Product managers need to be able to identify customer needs, design products and services, and oversee the production process to ensure that their products meet customer expectations.

Project management tools for software development help streamline the product management process and make it easier to monitor product performance and make decisions about product development.

Product management is a complex process encompassing many skills, from identifying customer needs and setting product goals to managing teams and analysing performance. Product managers need the right tools to ensure efficient and productive workflow.
They use it on rivals. One of the rivals is their own people.

FWIW, I believe pdf.js has some support for forms nowadays, though I haven't used it personally/don't know how complete it is.

fantastic article about GPT. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the detailed response. Are the advantages of fasting well researched?
1 and 2 could be solved by using proper gradle multi-module projects and tests. So I would say this is a problem of tooling of the language you're using. This is one of the reasons why I still can't understand how people operate with inferior ecosystems like node in the backend and I also wish go would have these things.
Thank you, I was starting to wonder if there was a secret game going on, or if I was supposed to screenshot them all and post for a hat-trick or whatever. So strange.

Not sure if I was being hit by Extra Strong(tm) confirmation bias [1], so at least very nice to see I was not alone in reacting.

Some will discuss anything but the topic at hand. It is telling that they need to review your post history instead of engaging with the topic.

I don't think it matters much if you're inside the moat. Running vulnerable software inside the moat makes it very easy for an attacker to move laterally once they're in. Patching everything where possible reduces the blast radius of an attack massively.

It's written right there. Made in China. The only thing still made in US is military equipment.
I've never cold connected to anyone. I wouldn't know how to go about doing it. My first idea is to find members of teams that cited one of my papers, but that makes me sound neurotic about papers, doesn't it. I've had the application page for OpenAI's position open for a couple weeks now, I'll give it a serious try tomorrow, and see if there's any team member that at least 2 degrees of separation from me.

TL;DR the ISO standards committees behind SQL are working on bring graph query languages and SQL databases closer together.

Obviously there is work to be done at the storage/query planning layer after that, but I’m hopeful once the surface exists more widely that will drive more work in those areas.
> I'm told state-of-the-art quest on PC is running SteamVR through windows remote desktop. It's bad. Incredibly bad.

You weren't told that. You don't know what "Virtual Desktop" is (an app that makes using SteamVR wirelessly on a Quest a one click process) and apparently assumed it's the same as Remote Desktop, the two are unrelated.

If you're willing to do wired you don't even need Virtual Desktop, AirLink and a normal Link cable both work just fine.

Why would violent resistance be effective at this point? That seems likely to result in Syria or Libya at best.

Speaking uncharitably (and ignoring vast theological differences…), the folks talking about violent overthrow seem pretty naive. ISIS was bad enough when they didn’t have the Zagros mountains to hide behind.

I'm not sure I care what the typical employer wants to hear. If it's a taxpayer funded education then it's more about what society gets out of it. I can't speak for everybody, but I think what society wants is people who can solve problems whether or not they've been blessed by some third party with a license.
As far as I can tell, it just rephrases the abstracts...
In my experience with PDFs, no other PDF program can really open all the weird PDFs, except for Acrobat Reader. Especially with regards to PDF Forms.

The funny thing is, only Acrobat Reader on PC and Mac is like that. If you open some of the weird PDFs on their phone Acrobat Reader or web Acrobat Reader, they are about as broken as they are in Pdfium (Chrome’s open source PDF reader, based on licensed FoxIt) or Preview, let alone pdf.js.

Not even Adobe can really port their format readers on phone and javascript.

(But that’s my experience with Word/Excel too)
Hi, while this is a nice gesture, HN is not really the place for things such as this, and it is considered spam by most users.

They do touch on the security aspect but there is a whole lotta attack surface to worry about.

Fta:
Microsoft made a particular point of outlining its efforts to ensure the new Adobe PDF tool is secure. Miscreants will use malware-infused PDFs to muscle their way into enterprise networks, so Microsoft's Edge Vulnerability Research team was involved in the process of bringing the Adobe engine to Edge.

That includes adding security features to the PDF stack such as PartitionAlloc a secure heap implementation developed on Chromium and already used in Edge, according to Gareth Evans, principal security research lead at Microsoft.

"PartitionAlloc is designed in such a way as to keep objects of different types separate from each other with minimal intervention from the developer," Evans wrote.

The package also includes mitigations such as Intel's Control Flow Enforcement Technology to protect against the hijacking of control-flow transfer instructions, a technology that complements Microsoft's Control Flow Guard. Fuzzing – automatic testing for vulnerabilities – is another security feature included with the new Edge PDF stack.

In addition, Edge's Acrobat engine will be included in the software vendor's bug bounty program to incentivize developers to find and report flaws. And there have been quite a few flaws in Adobe's PDF code.

To me, cloud documents are better for most cases. They allow exporting to multiple file types, and allow you to edit after sending it out. While also often preserving revision history, and enabling collaboration.

The next best options would be open source document formats.

EPUB, ODT, SVG, exported HTML like MHTML (MHT)... all good options.

Algorithmic trading here means more about how to "execute trades" thus reduce the "execution cost" of a trade, rather than using quantitative method to gain advantage (alpha). They are usually employed by firms executing large trades, no mather whether the trade comes from a traditional trading form, or a quantitative trading firm. There are definitely overlaps, especially for HFTs regarding market microstructure, but in HTFs case, the market microstructure is built-in the HFT strategy itself, while for algorithmic trading can be decoupled as execution from the actual trading strategy that produces the majority of the "alpha"s.

Excerpt from C11:

"[...] errno which expands to a modifiable lvalue that has type int and thread local storage duration"
Considering that PRC has been operating concentration camps at least since the 2008 Uyghur unrest, and has been known to harvest organs at least since 1994 https://humanrightscommission.house.gov/events/hearings/forc..., and has been known to disappear individuals it finds undesirable ever since it was founded, none of this is surprising. PRC is simply not a free country and not a place where anybody can live as they please. PRC is a huge concentration camp of slaves.

I suppose the best outcome for the persecuted individuals inside PRC is to flee the country. Anybody wants to chime in if they'd be eligible for refugee status with the US immigration system? One would also think nearby countries like Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea should also try to accommodate, even though sadly they are not known to be very sympathetic toward refugees.

I would also argue that the best course of action for people outside PRC is to keep records of the victims of PRC atrocities, and to urge their governments to stop allowing business as usual with this fascist regime, unlike what happened since 1989.

Now, as far as documenting PRC atrocities, United States the bastion of freedom, does not even bother to keep track of statistics regarding the thousands of its own citizens killed each year by its own police.
