>Now I'm creating a VM om MacOS inside the MacOS and will attempt to extract the browser part. I don't want microsoft all around my system.

The funny part is that apple's telemetry is just as bad as Microsoft's, the modern macOS sends a hash of each and every program you run and if their servers are affected, it has a good chance to pull your apps down with it as long as you are connected to the net.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Not a fan of either system.
I think your message implies that performance is the axis that matters and if you don’t need performance at all you should use something other than SQLite (like a file system with json)?
Why does Microsoft’s LLM call it “hacking” when a user creates certain prompts to make answer more truthfully?

We should be very careful not to accept and use that kind of language for that kind of activity.
If the Swedes were serious about joining NATO, they could have pressured the protestor to do his Quran burning after Sweden had become a member. But instead, they allowed it to happen even though they knew how Turkey would react. And this isn't an "Erdogan" issue. There is genuine outrage among the Turkish population about this incident and it will be very hard for any Turkish politician to overcome the public animosity against Sweden. That means Turkey will not support Sweden becoming a NATO member.
eeeeeh probably putting the money into getting solar panel would be a better deal eco-wise
The examples I've seen from Sydney/new Bing suggest it's trained on quite different material or at least doesn't have the same filters ChatGPT does. In fact if I didn't know better I don't think I'd assume it was the same technology at all. It does seem MS may have been a bit rash adopting it, even if it is a restricted release. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if it goes through a few major revisions before becoming the default universally available version.
> Creative writing

I tried to get it to write _1984_ erotic fanfiction, which it did - but everything it spewed out was a cliche. I imagine it had read all of FFN and AO3.

> gathering information

It will probably be like the Google infoboxes and “People Also Search” entries we’ve had for a while, only more superficially coherent.

It seems like the “fake it until you make it” craze has fully taken over the AI/ML scene.
I think mathematics has problems with continuum, because it tries to describe our analog universe with digital paradigm.
It's because they are growing massively, meaning they invest a lot of those margins in capital expenses. At least that's true for CF, not sure about DO
As John Scalzi said, "the failure mode of clever is asshole" - as in, how you are perceived, especially in low-context situations.
Later they came to be called the Greeks mostly by the Latins, to kind of steal the legacy, i.e. you're not Roman, you're Greek. But for the Ottomans it was always Rum (Roman), even now it is more Istanbulite to call the "European" side Rum. Same as there is this story from the liberation wars, where Greek kids from an island came running to see the soldier. The soldiers asked, what are you looking for, and they say: "Greeks!". The soldiers say: "But you, too are Greeks". The kids answer, "No, we're just Romans."
It depends on what the OS gives you. As far as I know the old BSD sockets-like Linux I/O syscalls are not really cancellable (the process would have to send a signal to itself to get interrupted, or close the fd, or pthread_kill ... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17822025/how-to-cleanly-... )

And that's usually where the zero-cost [compared to hand rolling it] abstractions come in, but it turns out that's not enough, we would also need composability (decomposability to be precise), because async Rust is doing a lot, especially if you need only the cancellation feature.

Stepping back, it all depends on the development budget and goals. If time is short but there's plenty of RAM and performance budget, just go with Tokio. If that's too bloated, go with something low-level, eg. mio, and if you need every last bit of performance, then you are basically bargaining with the kernel anyway, so io_uring, and XDP (eBFP) ... and along the way there are potential stops at Seastar (a C++ framework) and dark alleys like DPDK (https://talawah.io/blog/linux-kernel-vs-dpdk-http-performanc...) :)

Unless you have sober, objective reasons to believe that your peers are well ahead of you in technical skills & productivity, this is 95% likely to be a failing of your workplace culture. (Whether it's members of the "right" social clique promoting their in-group, a racially biased manager, or something else.)

Best solution - do your professional best, while quietly looking for a new job elsewhere. (Which could just be on a different team at a larger org.)

Stretch Goal: Be able to "Dilbert speak", with a completely neutral face and tone, about how it was obvious to everyone that you were bottom-1% on your old team, but your new boss & peers think you're great stuff. Your moved helped everyone. And if your old team is really screwed, because you were far more valuable a worker than they credited - keep your face neutral, and very calmly talk about the must-have-been-true feedback they gave you. Month after month. Doubtless their current problems are unrelated to your departure, and blaming you is just venting their emotional stress.
“You have helped calm my fear of flying” is a somewhat frequent comment on many of the videos of aviation related videos like Mentour Pilot on YouTube (no relation), I think particularly in the accident analysis ones.

It seems that knowing what is going on and being aware of the safety systems helps demystify some of the fearful aspects. Perhaps that may help you.
No, starting a new chat it gives me again a (different) wrong answer.

I should add that I looked closer now at the transcript from yesterday, and the second answer it gave me after apologising was actually not correct, but correct enough for me to code it with the help of some actual API documentation.
This. I have been saying this to friends from the start. But even my tech friends are super impressed by it.

For me it is just another tool, that I can use to help me in certain areas. Not more. Not less.

If I was Sam Altman I would sell the thing asap before the hype dies out like with crypto.
Javascript was born with async built-in. The async/await in JS is just syntactic sugar around callbacks/promises.
I don’t get why any user has the ability to cause so much damage. Sure they can lock their own files out and need to restore from backup, but how can that knock out other departments, let alone things like email.
If the main argument for Ruff is speed, its real advantage is the consolidation of the Python QA menagerie:

- isort (import statement sorting)
- pyupgrade (syntax upgrade for newer Python versions)
- pylint (general linting)
- pycln (remove unused imports)
- pydocstyle (docstring syntax checks)

All of these can be replaced with a single ruff call. Ruff consolidates the rules from all these tools into a comprehensive and non-overlapping corpus. And removes the burden of having to find the right invokation order.

What's missing for ruff to be the gold standard, is to adopt features from:

- autopep8 (wraps long comments)
- docformatter (docstring auto-formatting)
- black (determinism code formatting)
- blacken-docs (applying black on Python code blocks in documentation)
I happen to like SQL but maybe I've been doing this for too long. Still:

> having data in one place and format, accessed through a single programming model will typically be easier than a separate service with a different language and model, no matter how efficient.

I would need examples of such a system. The closest I know of is... a RDBMS coupled with a decent ORM.

It's pulling information out of it's ass to look intelligent like a human would. Impressive.
from my experience im very sceptical each time when someone says that business people will write these rules. on paper it looks nice but at the end if rule is a bit more complicated developers end up writing or updating the rule while someone standing behind their back :)
It really doesn’t matter what Plato believed in. “Platonism” in philosophy of mathematics has a specific meaning regardless of that.
Provisioning EKS Cluster with Terragrunt – Part 2
In this post we will provision an EKS cluster using Terragrunt and we will verify our cluster health.
It's great that parts of SCSS are getting superseded by CSS.

Nesting is great to avoid selector repetition.

Custom properties (CSS variables) and CSS functions give us tools to avoid magic numbers and to encode layout relationships.

New sets of selectors and container queries let us decouple and re-use declarations more.

CSS Houdini gives us further power in extending CSS functionality.

Of course there are things that SCSS provides which are unlikely in the scope of future CSS proposals such as datastructures (maps) and loops to generate classes and mixins. But I can already imagine a world were those aren't necessary anymore for many cases.
I’ve seen this plenty of times in CSS codebases. Nesting is a write-time optimisation but a read-time hinderance.

If users stick to nesting for lightweight scoping, things will go well. But they wont: they’ll use it to DRY every possible line and their inheritors will suffer dehydration.
One thing that makes me depressed about ChatGPT is that the software engineering behind it is not some 1996 Doom Carmack style wizardry. It's attention mechanisms, a transformer architecture, and lots and lots and lots of data. The data does all the programming. I look at a lot of AI projects and there's not a lot of code. Sure it takes a lot of work to understand it, but in the end it's not a lot of code.

This makes me think that in the future programming will be just about collecting data and then doing things with the data. We will all be data generators and collectors with a few math PHDs in the middle working on the activation functions and so forth. The rest of us will be stringing models together Stable Diffusion style or writing the billing code.
A video of it working might be really good, it might make it clearer what this does.
> Any definition of explicit to make your proposition work is equivalent to “computable”. any decent formalism of mathematics is computable.

I am not sure that this is the case actually. Many results in mathematics only relate to the (non) existence of certain objects, without explicit recipes for finding (i.e., computing) them. And obviously philosophers started arguing whether an object that cannot be found actually exists or not :)
I don't disagree with your broader point, but I'll make a small nit that I don't think peer/spot bonuses are a meaningful-enough portion of TC that they matter from a financial perspective (unless the numbers have changed significantly over the years). The 'kudos' part of it was more meaningful to me.
It's not any user, it's a ransomware attack. So it was intentionally done to limit their ability to work. Also, don't assume they had backups, or that these backups weren't also targeted.
I don't actually care about telemetry, I'm fine with them knowing how I use the apps. That's how better products are made.

The problem is that MS puts me in the loop. Just update without telling me, if you fail I don't want to know and if I explicitly remove you from the log in items don't try to re-add yourself. I don't want to have sidekick apps to be able to run one app.

Microsoft definitely does some things right but I suspect that the incompetent and evil part of the company is still alive and kicking.
Here is the caveat - you have to learn and be interested with it.

If you just want to do the minimum to run the app, it will make you worse and usually utterly terrible sysadmin, as it usually is going to be "do the minimum required amount of copy-pasting from tutorials to make the stuff running".

Then inevitably don't update shit, nor even set unattended-upgrades package.

And if the server won't get hacked from bad firewall and no updates, the server will ran out of space because dev of course didn't thought about data management and some log file in wrong place without rotation overflowed.

That's from decade+ of fixing shit of developers that think that tutorial on internet made them sysadmin.
I'm inclined to agree, and to extend the statement to physicists as well. Sometimes I even wonder if they're being disingenuous, for example Stephen Hawking on the one hand says "Philosophy is dead" and on the other hand actively engages in the debate over philosophical realism: https://medium.com/paul-austin-murphys-essays-on-philosophy/...

Bad move for sustainability of open source software. Not every European has a credit card.
They just write a new title and it erases the previous one. The idea is to prevent "clickbait" titles. In practice it mostly destroys information.

It would be kind of acceptable if it was done immediately after posting, or if there was some kind of time limit. But it can happen at anytime, and sometimes links that have been upvoted for half a day suddenly change titles, which is infuriating.

entirely depends what you're deploying.

Go app which is one blob and some static file ? Sure. Java app that just needs JVM in system ? Go ahead, .service systemd file with some limits is all you need.

Ruby on Rails ? Put that radioactive shit in container, else your server will need to have a bunch of -dev packages just to compile gems and make it running (or alternatively you'd have to compile the gems on same environment server is running, which is more work than just making a container)
Because it has no idea if it's spouting bullshit at the moment or not.

And that doesn't seem to be addressable as long as the model is just stringing together the next most likely words as it learned them from some huge dataset. The answer "i don't know that" will always be rare, because nobody sits down and writes a blog post about how he could not find the solution to a problem.
> Neal Stephenson's _Snow Crash_ predicted cryptocurrency and the metaverse

The mateverse is named after the one from Snow Crash. Did Tolkien predict the popularity of elves, dwarves, hobbits and wizards, or inspire it?
It's not perfect, you can't expect it to always be correct, factual and logic. But it gives you something to with. The companies that are rolling out LLMs need to fix these flaws, though. That's where the competition is moving to.

PayPal is notoriously bad for everyone - both consumers and merchants. Using another alternative would be awesome.
Tbf, I've only seen decent implementations of it over the past couple of years, with Koka and OCaml. There's still work to do to get it to interact nicely with a low-level language, but I'd argue that they're the way forward for newer GC'ed languages.
Perhaps there's no drive for revenue due to these services being subsidized by the main income stream.

The real cost of delivering these services is written off by the company as a necessary expense. The value obtained from these services via goodwill or some other metric is currently deemed to be greater than their cost.

If anything, ploy or not, flawed or not, the topic of "AI consciousness" just transitioned from being a scifi trope to almost a "palpable" reality, which is in and of itself unbelievable.
Interesting, I don't think it's true on the extremes but I reckon that is true when you think of the abundance of megafaunal herbivores on land, like there's a dugong and a few decent sized fishes, but there's no proliferation of deer, goats, rhino giraffe etc.

Not true at the extremes I say because pelagic ecosystems have small single cells handling their primary productivity, you have microscopic copepods starting the grazing at the same size as the smallest herbivorous insects, and until recently you had stellars sea cow weighing in at 8-10 t, more than an African elephant.
That's a tautology, you can similarly say "imagine a world where mathematics isn't tied to the real or fictional existence, in this world mathematics isn't tied to the real or fictional existence".

It's derived from initial assumptions, which is how all math works.

not just read-time, but yes it is that as well, I find a class I search for this class, now I need to understand all scope in html tree and scope of the css to understand am I looking at the right one (sure you can run into situations with that as well, but in my experience nesting makes it more difficult)

but it is also a source of bugs, because complicated selectors mess with css priority and the cascade then someone writes something that has side effects and blame CSS instead of their ridiculously long nesting.

Reading some of the Bing screens reminds me of the 1970 movie Colossus – the forbin project. An AI develops sentience and starts probing the world network, after a while surmising that THERE IS ANOTHER and them it all goes to hell. Highly recommended movie!

Well yes, nesting is inherently a concretion that can lead to overly specific selectors. One of our/my style guide rules is to avoid nesting (in SCSS) when it's unnecessary. When nesting is used it should read "this declaration only makes sense in this nested context".

But not having nesting at all is similarly problematic as having too much nesting, because it can lead to repetition, proliferation of classes and brittleness.
ChatGPT is one of the greatest cultural pushes toward originality ever. It is the perfect summary of an era focused on making derivative outputs from historical data, and really shows how ultimately limited and uninteresting those outputs are. Rather than decimating the creative fields I think it is going to make them all explode with vibrance as we finally understand that it is novelty that makes new culture compelling and valuable. For this the bots have no way to truly compete, and we, when unburdened by the need to faithfully reproduce the past, can at last focus on producing the originality that makes culture slappppp
You might get the correct answer on the second try, but that would be down to random seeds.
It is better because arbitration agreements in a competitive employment market makes wages to be pushed higher or consumer prices to be pushed lower. The possibility of a jury trial adds costs because, the trials are more expensive, for starters, but also juries can and do give unjust levels of damages.
I guess the thinking when they got started was that this FOSS stuff was for smelly hippies and not serious use.

And once the world had converted to Itanium, having to buy Intel compilers to wring decent performance out of it, would have given Intel another big revenue stream.

In other news, the Intel compiler suite has been recently refactored on top of clang&llvm. How the world turns..
I have no idea what you're even on about any more; you're talking in riddles with vague references to this and that, but nowhere is it clear what you actually mean.

> ChatGPT is very effective

Massive [Citation Needed] to be honest. ChatGPT is arguably even worse than Bing at producing factually correct information, since it does not have any ability to source it. It simply predicts the next most likely word in a sentence. Even if that next word makes the entire thing horribly incorrect.

Not true at all.
No wonder, they probably got their account locked by PayPal for "fraud" on regular basis, while paying exorbitant fees for it. At least that's my experience with PayPal.
