It’s not a stretch to refine the model to store summaries in a database I don’t think. Microsoft is already doing something similar where Sydney generates search queries. Seems reasonable the model could be trained to insert $(store)”summary of chat” tokens into its output.

I imagine some self supervised learning scheme where the model is asked to insert $(store) and $(recall) tokens. When asked to recall previous chats the model would generate something like “I’m trying to remember wheat we talked about three weeks ago $(recall){timestamp}. The output of the recall token would then be used to ground the next response.

Thinking about it the “I’m trying to remember” output wouldn’t even need to be shown to the user. Perhaps you could treat it as an internal monologue of sorts.

You had a power outage that lasted few days?

BTW. For short outage batteries in terminal is enough, and BTSes have UPS that last quite long. Basically when my neighborhood has power outage (once a year maybe) for max 2-4 hours, cell service still works (a bit slower because everyone switched to it).

In developed countries yes, but as more products, more content, and processing of data is available, it will make it to less developed countries and cater to other cultures, resulting in similar advances there.

Almost no one mentions housing's upwards pressure on wages.

In Seattle, renting a studio in a not-terrible part of town costs over $1500 a month. With prices like that, there is no room for "low paying" jobs.

Accordingly, everyone has had to raise wages, which means some types of businesses are no longer viable. Child care is a good example, between housing prices and higher wages, daycare in Seattle now starts at $22k a year, with well rated daycares charging around 30k a year, and at those prices many daycares are struggling to stay open! Staff turnover is high, employees cannot afford to live within commute distance of their jobs, but wages cannot go up any more because customers can barely afford prices as they are.

The answer is a royal-shit-ton of construction. The answer is the complete demolition of existing zoning laws and a dramatic rethinking of building codes[1]. We need to allow more in-home businesses[2], and allow a wide variety of different styles of housing to be built. The city needs to stop encouraging tall and narrow townhomes that are not livable by families, or really anyone over the age of 40, and stop mixing middle class morality with housing options[3].

If housing goes back to being an 8k a year expense rather than a 20k+ a year expense, wages can stop shooting up.

[1] As an example, if I wanted to add a new bedroom to my current, well insulated house, I'd have to get the entire structure of my roof replaced so I could fit in additional couple inches of insulation. I already had an energy assessment done and they confirmed that this change would have, quite literally, 0 impact on my home's energy usage. The law as it stands prevents me from adding more density to my existing house, so good job there city.

[2] Why can't I buy breakfast sandwiches out of the front of someone's garage as I walk to the bus stop? Why aren't more barbers working out of their house?

[3] Boarding houses and such are famously illegal in most US cities, even though they provide affordable, dense, housing.
If by "arbitrarily" you mean "at east 4/5 line boundary", perhaps, but in that case it's virtually impossible to give the smaller functions meaningful names.
Personally I wouldn't tick a PR with functions more than about 30 lines generally, pretty much the only exception would be something like a simple switch statement that happens to need to deal with 50+ cases, and does so with a single function call for each case* (it may be preferable to do that using a data structure to map input cases to function pointers, but generally that makes code harder to debug too). Arguably that's "forcing" other devs to stick to small functions.
I've never seen a 1000+ line function that has anything like any decent sort of unit test coverage, for a start.

*) message handlers in raw Win32-apps come to mind
No it isn’t. “Tech” is only slowing down for a very narrow definition of tech. Perhaps we forget that rather recently the world created a vaccine for a novel virus using cutting edge techniques, that genome sequencing costs continue to fall, that genome construction costs continue to fall, that synthetic meats are on the horizon, that infrastructure for electric vehicles is now present in much of the world. Tech innovation continues to flourish, that growth just isn’t focused in computer hardware any more

CBC is far easier to implement than GCM mode.

I bet that most programmers cannot implement a Galois Field in Javascript. Meanwhile, CBC is just "encrypt then xor".

This is more likely to be the cause of not getting a high level job.

I do not know Japanese, for example, and i would not expect to get a good job in Japan without being proficient.
I thought my answer was direct enough, but if you need it spelled out further, I'm glad to give it a go.

It is possible that there are some people seeking "retribution". It is also possible that somebody might seek to whitewash retribution under the label of asymmetric behavior.

However, I am not doing that. I specifically chose that phrase because it's extremely broad, because in encompasses all sorts of things. If you are choosing to see anything asymmetric as retribution, that's not about me. That's about you.

Not the gp, but…

- medical diagnosis

- assistant-systems for everything

- noise reduction in industrial settings (via mechanical design)

- basically anything language related

- interpretation of image data

- essentially anything involving a pair of interacting sequences (thanks, transformers)

Contrary to many cynic takes, deep learning, CNNs, transformers are massive. It’s hard to realize the scope of these developments zoomed in to one’s warped perception of time and progress. One needs to zoom out a bit.

We could probably stop advancing the field and reshape most of the “real world” we’re used to, just with things you can import with two lines in python. But those changes come incrementally, and most of the bright minds around are dedicated to advancing our conceptual realm instead of the meatspace-one.

This might be true, but one of the under-appreciated benefits of Kubernetes is the control around deployments.

3 services and a queue isn't much... unless you have high uptime requirements, need to maintain capacity during releases, want a careful rollout process, etc.

It's possible to orchestrate complex release flows without an orchestrator, but it's often easier with one.
In case of larger catastrophe cash is as useless as bitcoin. You trade food for other things, eg. tools, liquor, cigarettes, bicycle etc.
You’d have to ask someone who runs both Debian and Ubuntu systems; I don’t know.

I'd even say ANY 5000-line function can always be improved by breaking it up into 1000 5-line functions, but it would be rare that would be the ideal way to rewrite it either.
On iOS the Documents and Library folders exist per application in a sandbox, so those can be deleted with the app binary. Preferences like location permissions are reset too. But some things persist, like the app's related keychain data, which might contain a user session. Apps have the choice of where they store things and therefore what behavior to give users in a delete and reinstall scenario.

Of course any files saved in iCloud Drive or "On my iPhone" stay put, which users would expect.

I think the value of retaining the keychain is related to 1. automatically deleting least recently used apps and restoring them when a user goes to launch them, and 2. restoring from encrypted backups, in which the downloaded apps are not backed up themselves, slowly install after the restore completes, and find the keychain data waiting for them.

If I recall, not all methods of backup include the keychain, which I think was the difference between having to sign into every app again or just a few due to a new device's Secure Enclave. These days if you get a new device you'll have a much better time with the phone-to-phone migration assistant then a backup and restore.
But a trackpad button and the AirPods click do work with gloves.

Surely Apple will implement volume buttons that respond to pressure, like those do, rather than capacitance, like the iPhone home button.

And so a 3rd party case that covers the buttons would still work just fine.
I seem not to have communicated my point clearly: inequity in one direction can exist in some areas (e.g., payscales) and in the other in other areas (e.g., social validation in the form of the availability of positive media, toys, and events such as birthday parties, etc.).

So, yes, payscale inequality is a thing. That doesn't mean we haven't "overcorrected" in the opposite direction in other areas.
While I agree with you, the OP still makes a good point that simplicity of a language also has a strong impact on the ecosystem; like it or not.

I don't know what "being a stream" has to do with anything (you should virtually always use "stream" modes of AES); the meaningful distinction between CBC and GCM is that GCM authenticates the ciphertext, so you can't tamper with it.
if you're going to cheat (read: use anything other than the original version), the newer versions of doom support an fov larger than 90 degrees (aka doom3 + g_fov or via a mod), so you can just run one copy in widescreen (especially on today's 21:9 aspect ratio monitors). (this is touched upon in the video.)
> for capital to regain some leverage they lost and crack the whip. Which, to be fair, at least in the tech sector was probably warranted.

Capital has way more, by a large margin, leverage than labor. Big technology companies were far from have less leverage that tech workers. Why do you think that it is fair that a reduction in that difference is ended?
This requires some server side handling. The web browser could have a logout button so I can end my session. Probably that should be combined with a configured target page for the user.

And well, my experience there is about 20 years old, but back then sending 401 wasn't enough. You had to send a different auth request, which then would pop up a new password dialog first. Indoubt 401 is enough today as well, as the browser can't distinguish whether a specific resource is restricted or whether the whole session should be invalidated.
>Just because people don't actively think all the time in terms of low level contexts doesn't mean that only simulating the high level contexts is a sufficient substitute for the whole process.

See also Aristole's description of a 'soul' (Lat. anima/Gk. ψυχή), which is embodied above all, unlike the abstract description of the soul that the West would go on to inherit from Neo-Platonism via Christianity.

Even though today we know full well we are indissolubly embodied entities, the tendency to frame identity around an abstraction of that persists, but it seems thinking around this hasn't completely succumb to this historical artifact, see 'Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human'
Nobody implements GCM themselves; they get it from a library. CBC, implemented the way you're describing, is almost always insecure.
Sloth author here. To clarify, Sloth does not run with or require root privileges. However, it allows you to (optionally) run lsof itself with root privileges via Apple's Authorization framework. The application is Developer ID signed, but not notarized by Apple (which is a PITA). I guess it's "unaudited", but the source code is right there for anyone to view, analyze and build from scratch.

Also, I'd be curious to know what "blocks of code copy-pasted from stackoverflow" you found. As far as I know, I wrote all of Sloth myself, starting 19 years ago. As for references to "Mac OS X" in code comments, that seems rather pedantic given that this is very old code and Apple keeps changing the name of their operating system: Mac OS X -> OS X -> macOS.

That being said, thank you for identifying the appcast deployment script, which shouldn't have been in version control to begin with.

If, say, Linus Pauling published in the 90s something along the lines of 'I've discovered the secret to immortality, and no, I won't provide any verifiable evidence for it, you just have to trust me' after decades of passing off Vitamin C as a cure for cancer, and everybody was saying 'well Linus Pauling is one of the greatest biochemists of our time, he's won the Nobel Prize', is it out of bounds to say, well, maybe at one point, but the man is 90 now and clearly lost his marbles some years ago?
That’s anecdotal though. For an opposite anecdote, airplanes have been pretty much the same since the 70s.

I don't think that relaxing work restrictions for 14-17 year olds is bad. At 14 I was capable and already doing many of the things that I was prohibited from doing for money. I was also working at 14. About the only work allowed for a 14 year old is retail and custodial work. It would have been great to be allowed to get paid for more kinds of jobs.

> The “essence” of who you are, the part that wants to feel “seen” and is able to be “seen” is no longer special. Seeing and being seen is apparently just neurotic streams of interleaved text flowing across a screen. Not some kind of ineffable communion only humans are uniquely spiritually capable of.

> This has been most surprising insight for me: apparently text is all you need2 to create personhood. You don’t need embodiment, logic, intuitive experience of the physics of materiality, accurate arithmetic, consciousness, or deep sensory experience of Life, the Universe, and Everything. You might need those things to reproduce other aspects of being, but not for personhood, for seeing and being seen.

Perhaps this is within the author's scope of "other aspects of being," but the wordless dimension of personhood is no triviality. Try bringing another to tears with the playing of a piano -- that's a profound sense of "seen" for this n=1 here.

I hate micro management usually because they're more worried about slack time than building value is neither good for employee neither for shareholders

as employee I optimize "work rate" for value output
as shareholder I optimize spending for profit

In real life of software building value output is decoupled from "work rate" for other professions like factory where quantity and quality are metrics easily measured then value output can be coupled with work rate.

If the job is task oriented why bother having employees just pay per task but maintaining and evolving software is not task oriented even some structures consider software engineers as transpilers of (bad written) user stories :)

Because the transpiling part is gone in few years LLM will do it better than any average programmer

Luckily not everywhere. In Thailand cash (and bank transfers) are king. Most places do not accept credit, and the place that do usually require a $15 or $30 minimum and/or you're going to pay that extra overhead yourself. Alternatively, like when I bought my monitor recently, folks will just give you a discount for paying via cash/transfer (high value items like that often end up as credit charges or interest loans through the bankers).
> Why can't apple put Touch ID... on the sides?

The shortest sync interval is still 5 minutes. But I have developed the habit of CTRL+S'ing after each important change. Which is coincidentally the sync shortcut key within Joplin. So for me that isn't really an issue.

But to be fair, I was looking for a 'real-time' webbased app, like Notion. But I wanted it to be self-hosted, use Markdown for formatting, (a little) polished and easy to setup and maintain. And while Joplin isn't perfect, or even fits all of my criteria, it was a close second. Even if it has it's drawbacks.

I kinda thought those environments would be less dependent on emergency cash, because they'll have a week's worth of food, backup energy/power sources (BBQs, propane tanks, jerry cans of gas, woodstoves, etc.).

It's people in the cities that get boned when the grid crashes.
Tech progress is slowing down because all of the entrenched players are protecting their cash cows rather than innovating. I also think that the ability of these companies to capture practically all talented tech employees with inflated salaries has harmed the industry and diminished creativity. The fracturing of these massive conglomerates hopefully brings a cambrian explosion of new tech.
