I like this angle. There was a great article on ACOUP about the weaknesses when using ChatGPT for writing essays (including many out and out errors). This is definitely a novel approach to using ChatGPT's weaknesses as a tool to aid learning.
Honestly, people keep running trials like this and time and again they have the same results and then no-one does anything. Because, just like the whole WFH thing, these decisions aren’t made by the numbers, but by the personal preferences of employers.

> Gaurenteed positive rights are impractical and generally unworkable.

Which is generally why such things are formulated as a duty instead. But you don't even need to do that in the case of the police. The police is special because they get granted the monopoly on violence. It seems obvious to me that granting such a powerful and dangerous tool should come with limits. E.g. the police is allowed to use violence only in the pursuit of protecting citizens.

So no, not a positive right, just a "freedom from" getting shot by the police for no reason.
You're moving the goalposts. First came the cities and then came the public infrastructure. 200 years ago none of that infrastructure existed yet cities were already there. That's because there was a need for it, which was self financed.

Then someone had the idea to reverse the cause effect relationship in a way to promote moving people to smaller towns and away from big cities. To the point of Italy selling houses for €1 to motivate people to move back from big cities. It doesn't work.
>Oh cool there's a .001 version bump on the graphics drivers, let me spend all day recompiling that and tweaking my awesomerc.

That's a you problem, not a Linux problem.

I haven't compiled any drivers for Linux in many, many years, probably decades even.

It helps to avoid Nvidia GPUs however, but even here I haven't seen a big problem in ages (my work computer unfortunately sticks me with an Nvidia, but Debian updates seem to work as normal).
Unfortunately this is very unlikely to be politically acceptable to the current UK government. The prime minister and various other ministers (e.g. Rees-Mogg) have been publicly opposed to post-pandemic working from home, so I'd expect some pushback on this too. In the end it's up to businesses what they do, but the government can hinder improvements to our lives through their control of the laws and the tax system.
I don't know anything about node.js or websockets but I actually set them up and used them in Jitsi Meet's version of the Excalidraw Backend for its recent whiteboard implementation.

The "predicting words" part of the language models is a building block, but the actual applications being built around the LLMs are using that predictive ability in very dynamic ways along with external memory, feedback and sophisticated control methods to attenuate and channel their behavior.

> there would be rioting in the streets if school days were reduced 20%

Why not move schools to a four-day week, too? If it works for adults at work, I'm sure children would see similar benefits. We already know that typical school hours deprive children of much needed rest.
You mean you don't understand when you don't know something? If you had no problem reasoning about quantum physics, you wouldn't say it's a philosophical question.
Even with async/await it's still single-threaded.

I might be mistaken, since I'm not up-to-date with the multithreading/concurrency/isolates in nodejs/V8.

IMO async/await is error-prone and isn't an ideal programming model.

I guess it might be better than a tutorial video with a thick accent?
> Maybe it will improve in the future.

To be fair, I find this entertaining.

Very entertaining.

The early 80s, another wave of exciting AI happened (from Japanese and US government funding) but there was a question which shocked Douglas Lenat so badly he dedicated himself since then to build a system of basic facts, that being Cyc. The question is: if Susan goes shopping does her head go with her? ( sorry if I do not quote it word-by-word by correct, it's been over a quarter century when I had my exam on this topic :) )

You can generate any amount of such questions which a two year old human would have no trouble answering but no AI -- so far -- could possibly answer unless of course that question and answer already occurred in some text. ChatGPT was called a stochastic parrot and it's not that ChatGPT is that, the entire model can not possibly produce anything else. Reasoning doesn't enter into this picture. So, not only it will not improve in the future, it can not improve.
Not the OP, but I suspect it's more a question of time. My my wife and I work on opposite ends of town, so if we where to both hop on a bus, meet in the middle, enjoy a nice and leisurely lunch at a nice restaurant (as opposed to just grabbing some fast food) and then hop on a bus back to our respective offices, we're probably looking at at least 2 hours door to door.

Hell, even if I'm just going for lunch by myself there are lots of restaurants I cannot really go to, simply because it takes too long to get there, eat, and get back. Basically, while I always have time to eat lunch, but very rarely have time to enjoy lunch.
The path integral formulation doesn't sound that counterintuitive to me, though I don't know anything about it in terms of actually computing with it. Aren't there similar integrals in statistical thermodynamics, where what is "really going on" is random motion of molecules and the math has to consider every possible path, though in Euclidean space? I'd like to understand this stuff better someday. The "really going on" of quantum mechanics is perhaps more mysterious, but that doesn't mean physicists don't want to find it.

If you previously believed that the sun rose every morning because it was attached to Helios's chariot and he flew it across the sky, and then you discovered that actually the sun didn't rise at all and it only seemed to "rise" and "set" because the Earth was rotating on its axis, and also the sun was a giant perpetually-exploding hydrogen bomb that the Earth orbits and definitely can't be attached to someone's chariot and dragged around the Earth, you might stop believing that the people who told you it was because of Helios and his flying chariot had any idea what they were talking about.
Yes I’ve been in three now. Running a corporate like a collection of bootstrapped startups with trusted, invested staff and autonomy is the sweet spot.

In Europe sure. That's why Energy is so expensive compared to the USA.

But in general that's not true. In particular, public resources such as electricity and water are installed for a specific planned capacity... the limit of how much resources to install is how much we can pay it back.

Public infrastructure is financed from taxes which is financed from jobs, this there's a cause effect relationship between infrastructure and productivity. That's the very meaning of self financed.
>If you are claiming that training a LLM literally only one time is enough and there is no need to train it more than once, you are wrong.

No, I'm rather claiming that what you claimed is wrong in the context of LLM training: "Well maybe not every day, but having a short feedback loop and the ability to run your code multiple times with different variations is generally considered to be a prerequisite for software development".

LLM training is not the same as writing a program and "running your code with different variations". For LLM you don't need to quickly rerun everything with some new corpus - it would be nice, but it's neither a prerequisite, not even crucial for any current use.

Hell, it's not even a "prerequisite" in programming, just good to have. Tons of great programs have been written with very slow build times, without quick edit/compile/build/run cycles.
This is in the context of a websocket (which is what the original story is about). Presumably, websocket is being used because HTTP isn't enough, namely, you want to receive pushes from the server. This _often_ comes in the form of data that multiple connections are interested in: game state, chat, collaborative editing. At scale, this data, or a copy of it, often stays in memory. E.g. a chat system might keep a list of room + brief chat history + user list in memory. This memory is being mutated by concurrent connections.
Nothing wrong with a home server. In fact, I've already gotten a home server running, and I save my backups there.

I am interested in your take on "conspiracy". While I understand it might feel that way for you as a night owl I would raise you a question. How else could we structure our universities and workdays if not according to our natural environment?

We cannot fill the employment roles for professors, support staff, and every other type of worker even with this rigid 8AM system. In my head that new world would include layers and layers of renduncancies which would be a system we could not feed with our current worker population.

> Go being “verbose”? Or “fragile”? I doubt we’re talking about the same Go.

Maybe compared to C, Go is quite concise, but Go is nowhere near Rust's level of expressiveness, especially with poor generics support, much more verbose error handling etc.

> no need for the borrow checker or reference counting on your side.

I think that people that mention borrow checker in context of backend dev haven't done much backend dev in Rust. The nature of a web backend is to (most of the time) get data from the client, process, return a response. In this context you very rarely have to think about borrow checker and almost never use explicit lifetimes.

Shout out to Andy and Heydon for their book Every Layout. It made CSS sensible to me.

By no means am I an expert, but I thoroughly enjoy writing CSS using techniques they teach in the book. Somehow, it helps me to think of CSS as a constraint programming system. Combinators are that --- layout constraint directives.

Architecturally, I really like the choice of pulling apart CSS in terms of structural definitions (Stack, Box, Switcher etc.), style definitions (applied to leaf nodes as far as possible), and global rules, ratios, and units (e.g. modular scale).

I think the system composes beautifully and lets me do a lot with a very small set of core definitions.

My personal site uses those techniques: https://www.evalapply.org/static/css/style.css

The employer can fix up the imbalance -- if there are N bank holidays in the year, give all 80% part time workers 0.8N extra days of holiday allowance above their usual amount (etc), and mandate that they cover the bank holidays with days from their allowance if they would normally work them. (My UK employer does this.)

I don't understand why USB support should even be an issue. Is the controller integrated into the SoC or something? Or is it a chipset thing?

Feels like Apple have made this a lot harder than it needed to be. Of course they're masters at designing great hardware with ridiculous flaws. Like somehow being fragile despite the metal construction. Missing connectors, weird keyboard design choices. Soldered-on components. I bought a Macbook Pro once almost a decade ago. Never again. Never before or since have I felt less like I actually owned the hardware I'd bought.
My impression is that what happens sometimes is managers just keep hiring more and more managers, and then eventually someone twigs and suddenly there's a big cull of management. It's happened to companies I've been at a couple of times.

You get to a point where there's two product managers and and a product owner per team, with like three or four engineers until someone realises.

> it's more a question of time

So, given we're talking about employers offering flexibility, how about allowing people to take a longer lunch break so they can go for lunch with their OH, but either start their day earlier or stay at work later?
Why would all employers say "I don't want to make more money if it means having to change this one thing"? And if they do, they'd surely be outcompeted by those adopting these policies.

There are two ways around this:

Frist, you can run the container with --cap-add=net_bind_service which allows processes to bind to privileged ports:

$ podman run --cap-add=net_bind_service --rm -it --user=1 localhost/socat

uid=1(bin) gid=1(bin) groups=1(bin)

Second, you can run the container with --sysctl=net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=0 which tells the kernel to allow any process to bind to ports above 0 instead of the default of 1024:

$ podman run --sysctl=net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=0 --rm -it --user=1 registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal
