UDP gives you port numbers supported by every networking equiment your datacenter already has, instead of having to deal with raw IP frames or somehow extending how your firewalls and servers handle your special boy packets. Especially useful considering you probably want port numbers anyway, and checksums are just a nice bonus. You'll probably reimplement part of TCP on top of it too.
I was looking for this! Thank you.
This also happened in Turkey on a massive scale. When the government implemented the 11-digit national identity numbers for the first time in early 2000s, there have been thousands of cases where the same ID number was given to the multiple people, and also many other citizens with no ID number.

Some reported that it was due to the ID number field in database not being a primary/unique key in database. The leaked Turkish citizenship database also confirms this, although we don't know if that leak reflects the original database structure.
> What if they are knowingly hiring more non-doers to help keep this balance and control. What if it's not accidental, or people skills, that means non-doers are in charge?

You bet this is the case. Every manager is, consciously or not, empire building. Hiring more underlings so they become more important. This not necessarily mean that they are evil schemers - on average, people are pretty good at convincing themselves that what they do is good and necessary.

Note that Big Corps have much more in common with communism than with capitalism. The way people think about capitalism, where everything is hyper efficient, is incompatible with the huge amount of waste that goes on in big organisations (this is a gross simplification, but you get the point). Communism by its nature means a large centralized bureaucracy, with ironically even worse denial of personal agency and thus more alienation.

The three best examples are a product that hasn't been proven yet, one of the biggest flops in recent gaming history (I would say the most notorious since the Dreamcast, probably), and a non-commercial project? If anything that reinforces the grandparent's point, I think.

One thing not mentioned in other comments is that stroke order also helps with software that wants to do character recognition.

If, for example, you are taking handwritten notes on an ipad, and want software to convert the notes into text... well, knowing the order of strokes and having an agreed upon order helps considerably over just trying to match shapes.

Digital dictionaries also usually have a "handwritten input" mode to look up a character, and that mode will also recognize characters much more accurately when input with correct stroke order.
Your only value as a human is based on the compensation you get from your worldview, I'm not sure many would agree with you.

If you are poor you are undeserving of care, regardless of why, your value as a human is directly attributed to how much a capitalist system values your labour.

Don't you see the disconnection and how morally wrong this is?

That would be one of the many issues to resolve in a federated context. But achieving "consensus" is never trivial and compromises and choices underlie its current model too.
Thanks for the link! The main problem I have is that gpg-agent won't start in ssh-agent mode automatically. I noticed on Ubuntu that there's some scripts that check if this directive is present in ~/.gpg/gnupg-agent.conf and then start it accordingly (and not load gnome-keychain) but this is not working correctly. I spent ages messing around to get it to load.

These days I use FreeBSD with KDE and it was a bit easier to get it to work. But I still have the scdaemon crashes a lot.

But yeah I really wish they would finally fix CTAP2 on Linux. I think the problem is a bit chicken and egg / there's not many services actually supporting it yet. Microsoft 365 is the only one I use that has it. And there it's in 'preview' so my work doesn't allow it, on my personal instance I do have it enabled though.
Tony Blair and William Hague call for digital ID cards for all (UK)
Sir Tony Blair and Lord Hague have called for everyone in the UK to get digital ID cards as part of a "technological revolution".

The issue with this when Blair first tried it was he wanted everything on a central database with all the details stored there. This was opposed by many, including the Open Rights Group and NO2ID.
Oligarchy sure, but that’s what all capitalist systems will tend towards with wealth redistribution. There is no such thing as free market capitalism. Markets can’t exist without states.
If you have no rainfall you have nothing to store, but i know what you mean and you are right.

Being from Switzerland we have already massive natural stores of water (Glaciers), but if it gets warmer we will loose them, and our alps would look like the Atlas Mountains in Maghreb, still water but nothing that could fill Lakes.

Not even talking about permafrost and falling-apart mountains.

In case anyone is curious, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_inheritance_theory mentions the canonical example of cultural and genetic coëvolution: lactose (in)tolerance.

In particular, in the given hypothetical, one might predict a change in the dairy culture in Japan if suddenly the population was significantly more tolerant of lactose.

(I assume the usual example of lactose intolerant is chosen because it appears some people are otherwise religiously opposed to considering the relationship between culture and genetics.)
Sure, you created value, for whom? In the case there's no spending: if it's for you and immediate neighbours there's a limit to that value, you can just feed so many carrots to people, over that threshold you are just creating waste, not value. You can donate them but that requires transportation and incurs costs, someone has to take those costs, which will cause spending.

So it's tied to spending, if you can't sell carrots then what value do you have for the rotting ones you can't eat?

Value does not exist in a vacuum.

As far as I know, there's no such role as "manager" in a Scrum team.

The Scrum way of working is a joy, which I have gotten to experience in my career just once. Practically it also seems very difficult for an organization to support, at least many have failed.

Scrum teams need to be autonomous, or the process becomes torture. Scrum as a process is rather simple, but the context is exactly a team working on their own. SAFe and such seem more like consultant slideware to me .
It has everything to do with capitalist accumulation of resources. Capitalism is the algorithm that drives US behavior.

> this is a hard problem though. and i don't know what is the right answer.

The hard problem is always the same, how to be happy making what we like. Sometimes the solution involves making a reasonable amount of money.

> then you only write what publishers want

Most software developers write only what their customers / bosses want and not what they would like to write. That allows them to pay their bills and live their lives. Local optima, often easy to reach.
Are feijoa's in season yet? Where we lived around Auckland there were these pathways with fruits just rotting - massive feijoas and best plums I ever had in my life. Unsure why, but owners chopped off the plum tree.
It's really not. ARCing everything gives you less efficient code than just using tracing garbage collection. The approach that makes RC and ARC worthwhile is the one seen in Rust, where RC is only used for any object that might have more than a single "owner" controlling its lifecycle, and ARC when such "ownership" might be shared across threads.

Temperature is an option passed into the LLM. A temperature of 0 means the response is deterministic, that is that it always returns the same completion. A temperature of greater than zero results in increasing variation in the completion.
HTTP might now be used for other things but right from the beginning (check the RFCs) HTTP stood for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol", the RFC was written by Berners-Lee. HTTP and HTML did come together, and from the same person.
That really depends on what you would call a live stream and how fast the camera can cover the whole panosphere. Having the whole image updated every minute (probably not realistic for this resolution) could still be considered a live stream.

And the distance doesn't really help the privacy implications if the resolution is big enough that you can zoom in far enough to identify individual humans. Then again, expectations of privacy outside and at locations visible from outside are probably going to be violated at some point anyway.
After a year and a half doing hobby projects in rust, I must say this Error dispatch is the biggest pain. You may get used to ownership by just writing less ambitiously. But those errors everywhere, are quite tangled. Even Box<dyn Error> that seems universal, stops working with thread-related functions.

There are plenty of reasonable arguments out there telling you real issues with crypto which just haven't been addressed because they don't matter in scams.

Alone the Bitcoin incentive to consume unlimited cheap energy.

50% attacks are really and are ignored.

I have plenty of arguments no one was answering reasonable. Instead people say stupid things like Bitcoin solves inflatiin because BTC are limited but just ignore that mBTC etc exist and it still lead to inflation or deflation as everything else.

Or all the green washing garbage people try to sell. Uhh Bitcoin can push renewable and wasted energy. No we just incentive burning gas for Bitcoin instead of thinking about how to make it economically and sustainable useful for us....

Is it dead? Nope but has it ever reached a reasonable thing? Nope it got hyped into the sky due to money scams but it's not even were it should be to be used like we currently use it.

The biggest issue for crypto is the hype

To me that sounds like socialism - a perfect system if it just weren't for those pesky people and their deeply ingrained selfishness and desire to gain more status, power and wealth.

Agile is a system that ignores how power and status plays work in companies which almost always makes it into a miserable system for everyone involved.

However, wouldn't a GPT trained exactly on Wikipedia be quite useful? It would be the biggest user-editable training material for a language model that can be asked about things.

In addition to the obvious use of responding to questions based on the material, perhaps it could be a tool for finding e.g. if and how a cited source relates to the article where it was cited. Abuse detection could also be one application.

I couldn't exactly find out what the goal of Wikipedia is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia but it doesn't seem a "better search" would be opposite to those goals.
Management of the contract lifecycle is a procedure that is essential to any organization's success. Yet as time goes on, a number of significant technical developments and innovative ideas that simplify contracting continue to arise, empowering contract managers and business owners.
I think that some of this is true, but, in the Marxist tradition, it strives to define classes of people to hate, and ignores the key aspects of capital, risk and relationship in things succeeding.
Your argument doesn’t seem very coherent to me.

Placing strict terms on how long temporary workers can be employed is not an issue in the case you point. If your demand really fluctuates, you will have ended their employment long before the generally generous limit.

Avoiding long term employment though a stint of short term contracts is legitimate. You don’t want company trying to wiggle out of employment law through this kind of stints and experience prove some definitely will.

> No wonder the average grandma in the EU does not have the skills to start a small business, if needed. The laws and regulations are simply too complex for her.

Really I don’t understand where you get your information from. I’ve started businesses in the EU, it’s trivial easy, there are no complicated laws or regulations to worry about, at least not for micro-businesses.

The most likely reason you don’t see so many micro-business in the EU is simply because people have other options that provide greater prosperity and security than running a micro-business. Running businesses are hard, running tiny ones is stressful. You’ve got no safety net, no income guarantee, no rights to holidays or time off. Going and working for an employer that can provide all that is simply a better life for most.
This is not really true though, 40 hour working weeks are very much not something western countries "have" in the general sense of having a constitution or police force. In many western countries, especially northern Europe, it is a given that parents (especially women, but also men) work less than 40 hours, even in demanding jobs. As a more general example, the municipalities of many cities in the Netherlands consider 36 hours a full time job, in the sense that getting paid more than 36 hours is actually beyond your contract and working that long is very unlikely to happen. Personally I work a demanding tech job with 32 hours a week, like others in this thread, this does not hurt my performance.

The real problem, and reason I suspect you use the word "have", is that this is fundamentally a cultural issue where the resolution is not for "the bad companies to stop demanding all this work" but actually the entire society moving away from the idea that work is somehow the only way to constructively spend your time, and for money being the only value that is worth pursuing.

Concretely what this means is that the fetishization of work must stop. This includes hustle culture, the idea of "side" or "passive" income, and the glorification of high salaries and high work "ethic" (see the use of the word ethic there, super interesting right). Opening hackernews itself, you can see that this mindset is widespread and actually not enforced by companies.

If you look around the world, you will see that many societies don't work this way. Western societies became like this, for better or worse, through religion, specifically protestant christianity. If we look back now, saying that this is a good or bad thing is complete nonsense, but looking at the present we can desire for things to be different, and that desire is what is missing.

To make your own summaries you need to understand and think about the source material. I get more value from reading the book and analyzing it rather than glancing at the too-long-didn't-read version of notes somebody else wrote.

For example, the entire Checklist Manifesto book can be distilled to one sentence: break down crucial procedures into checklists and follow them. That's the core message. The 1%. On its own it means nothing to me. I can re-read it hundreds of times and it won't change my life. I'll recognize it but I won't understand it.

I need time to process my thoughts. Let the ideas marinate in my brain so to speak. I won't get much out of a book if I read it cover to cover in one sitting either.

My way to study a subject is to read not just one book, but 2 or 3 more from different authors. This way I can compare their opinions, find common things, see where they disagree, find the answers to questions I wrote down during my first read. Then I can take those ideas and make them my own.

Yes, it takes time. There's no shortcuts when I want to understand something.

As for the 99% filler content - I don't have to read it. When I read I ask myself "What's the goal of this section? What does the author try to achieve?". Often, I find a good reason. If not, I'll skip it. I can always return to it later. I have that option. I can't do that with summaries because they are lossy compression. I can't get more out of them because it's not there.

Sure, I can do my own research and look for it on the internet or interview relevant people. But at this point, I might as well write my own book.

If you write the current transaction so it overlaps the previous line, you even have some of the collective tamper proofing benefits.
My view is that anonymity should always be allowed but that in certain instances people should have the ability to choose to interact in explicitly non-anonymous manner. That does mean with their full identity attached to their online avatar.

I don’t even remotely understand the problems. My real identity is attached to the ownership of my house and so far the government hasn’t put a bag over my head.

But yes, I realize that the tyranny of the anonymous will go on for longer than it really should due to extreme paranoia about the political other.
Nah, most of Scrum is fine [0], even insightful I'd say, but yeah, the certification industry that drives its adoption is a scam.

The problem is that nowadays people have to be in the software field whether they want to be in it or not. So you have the perfect storm of people who believe in good old fashioned taylorism ("scientific" management) clashing with people who ultimately reject much of that thinking. Basically, traditional management realized that it will be obsolete and power is shifting to a bunch of "nerds". So what basically happened is that they appropriated a lot of the nerds' concepts and methodologies in order to regain power.

>Language is a world model, outputting acceptable text is outputting text that fits what's underneath the language: the meaning of the terms and their relationships. As far as I can tell that's how we do it too, I have no reason to believe we need a special mechanism for logic.

So why did we invent mathematical notation, programming languages, diagrams and all sorts of formal semantics? Clearly it's because natural language does have some characteristics that make it less suitable for some tasks. It may be partly down to our cognitive limitations. But I think the most important issue is the way in which natural language changes. It all happens in a distributed and implicit (on the meta level) way, i.e. without anyone writing a specification of how new expressions relate to meaning.

Having said that, there is no reason to assume that the principles of LLMs are unsuitable to learning formal languages and formal semantics. The question is whether LLMs are the best algorithm for generating and testing formal hypotheses though. They may just turn out to be rather mediocre at this. It's definitely worth trying though and I'm sure this is being done already.
