Consider the ratios. “Groups of women” doesn’t mean anything if there are “hordes of men”. Come to nyc or sf or any major city. It’s overwhelming how many single men show up to any event. Often more men but especially more single men than single women. I also think a cruise is almost the worst place to try to meet a partner. People fly in from all over for cruises…

What kind of meetup? I haven’t seen any with any good amount of women.
> Part of me wonders whether the move to electric vehicles from ICE will resemble the move from CRT to LCD televisions. Less robust…

EVs are far more robust than ICEs from a mechanical level, as the number of moving parts is reduced by orders of magnitude. The problem is electronics, but this has been plaguing ICEs for over 30 years. There’s no reason for the electronics in an EV to any less robust than an ICE, but we are going to see far fewer mechanical failures.

EV or ICE, it seems unlikely any of these cars will be running in 30 years let alone 50. Eventually the electronics fail to a point that is too difficult to diagnose or fix.

Case in point - had a friend with a mid 2000s Astra. Everything worked except for the left indicator. Eventually the car was written off as no one could fix it. The car was just over 10 years old at the time.

reading from stdin isn’t challenging, nor writing to stdout. if someone can’t imagine why that might be useful, then i’d argue their journey as a software engineer is either at its end, or right at its beginning.

Weird how Windows is mentioned as one of the two programming models and then discarded. Obviously people have long-standing objections to commercial operating systems and Microsoft in particular, but it would be interesting to hear whether the many non-POSIX-y parts of Windows provide a better or worse model.

It has some annoying times, mostly for people using apple products, though. Like Macbooks not implementing USB-C monitor chaining but supporting Thunderbolt chaining, or even something as simple as my friend being unable to charge her phone in my car because all of my cables are usb-c.
> We should be able to assume that the data we want exists in main memory without having to keep telling the system to load more of it. APIs for managing threads and access to shared memory should be re-thought with defaults created for many-core systems, and new schedulers have to be built to handle the fact that memory is not all one thing. Modern systems have fast caches near CPU, main memory, and flash memory. Soon we'll have even more memory, disaggregated, which is faster than disk but slower than main RAM.

Isn't this what Intel was trying to do with Optane? What happened with that? It seems like a great idea.

Yes, but I mean it's also wrong...

That's not how the diffusion process works. You can pick any number of interesting ways to describe it but if they're technically wrong, it doesn't really matter how poetic they are right?

Diffusion models do use random noise.

As I understand it, every 'step' is composed of three parts: a) the previous output, b) the latent generated from the prompt and c) random noise.

As you move further up, the scheduler changes the weights of a, b, and c that get mixed in.

...but from the article:

> The subtle error comes in a misunderstanding about the "randomly generated noise."

It's not an error. You're just focusing on what you want to focus on.

Let's be 100% blunt: The author of an AI art image is pressing the random generator button. Every time. The output is random.

It's not a matter of debate; the initial seed to the diffusion model is random noise.

The prompt guides the diffusion process, which basically denoises the random noise added to the image certainly... but saying there's no random component to it is completely and utterly wrong.
FWIW the linked library does that, https://github.com/dominicsayers/isemail/blob/master/is_emai...
Yes. And not much point in all that careful checking against the RFCs - many email servers use, accept, and correctly process email addressed to technically invalid addresses.

This library runs the risk of blocking actual, working email addresses.
This feels very similar to a manager with late night emails. A type of hostage situation.

> why create an entire parallel system

Small claims are for small claims. No lawyers, no juries, no opinions; just a decision. Courts are great for large claims. Lawyers, juries and precedent-setting opinions.

In between are medium-sized claims where you want a lawyer but not a jury or opinion. (There are too many cases and they’re not individually worth it. If they’re worth it in aggregated, they should be certified as a class, something I don’t think one should be allowed to waive one’s right to.)

Arbitration emerged as a solution to claims too big and complex for small claims, but not worth litigating in court.

The housing demand is greatly variable by location across the country. It is possible that there is increased demand in fewer places even though overall demand is lower.
Regarding the training data, thanks so much! We're definitely gonna be looking into improving and specializing it so it's less... whatever we could come up with at 2AM in the morning.

Now I guess is my time to learn. Why do you think grammarly and gmail help flow? If anything, those red lines make me lose my train of thought.

And finally, regarding DFS, seems like you're right! Fixed!

Once we release for writers, we're planning to tighten up the positioning and make the UX a bit more intuitive.
I worked in this field, or very close to it, for a few years. The issue is that demonstrations are relatively easy, but validation and achieving acceptable performance over the entire range of the human population and entire range of operating conditions is very hard.

Yes, you can build a wearable device that mostly gets your blood pressure right, most of the time. What are you supposed to do with that? It's not a useful product (and the FDA won't let you sell it, for that reason).

If you can't depend on the results, you can't quantify in exactly what way the results are erroneous, and you don't have an enormous volume of clinical data and outcome studies, etc. with your device that allows you to draw clinical conclusions about your results regardless of their errors, you have nothing actually useful.
How much does that motivate a person though?

I think "zero-copy" is the actual gem which might actually move us closer to making more of our systems have "less visible" plumbing. There's always going to be plumbing somewhere and it's not so actually directly actionable to observe that we have "too much of it". There needs to be a signal to guide a process by which we remove unnecessary necessary plumbing to obtain benefit.

I think there are significant advantages that will accrue by moving toward systems designs that encourage "more zero copy plumbing" -- not totally clear on all the ways the posix legacy might prevent that but the parts of posix that do prevent that will prove to be the most important pieces to shed I think.
POSIX was largely an attempt to get everyone to agree on the bits that everyone agreed on, which turned out to be not a lot beyond the basics.

There was no political will to standardize the layers above POSIX and the standards that attempted to do that are dead and buried (in some cases for good reasons).

20 years later there still isn't the political will towards standardization.

The original article is correct in that our programming models do need to be updated, but I think it's a stretch to blame it on POSIX.
The code itself is very helpful and interesting, https://github.com/dominicsayers/isemail/blob/master/is_emai....

Point is that checking whether something is a valid email or not is 1179 lines long (I know there are a lot of comments). Particularly interesting is to look at all of the possible error conditions, and the fact that "whether a string is an email address" is not so much a binary yes-no, but the library provides a "likeliness threshold" option.

Essentially just pointing out that checking if a string is/can be an email address is surprisingly complex.
At some point all I can suggest is "don't work for a liar". Of course that
may be easier said than done.

The point of my anecdote was to illustrate how Agile makes it easier to lie, and makes it difficult for honest people to call out liars. If a manager tells me that the deadline is Wednesday, and the deadline passes without anything bad happening, then he or she looks bad. If a manger estimates a "3", and I estimate a "3", and then it turns out that our definitions of what a "3" is differ, then I look bad, regardless of whether the work was, in reality a "3", a "5", or a "3.1415926".

But that doesn't mean that good practices are worse than bad practices!

The worst practice of all is a bad practice that masquerades as a good practice. I'd much rather that people be honest and up-front about the deadline (even if it is BS) than try to hide behind some overly complicated poker-game kabuki.

But then youre still dealing with measuring it penetrating the skin and all the variables that have to with it - sensor position, changes in temperature and blood flow, etc.

There have been many alternatives. Nearly every embedded OS has a different (and better) API.

POSIX won because it was first. Simple inertia keeps it there.

Linux has made some strides to buck the shackles though. The io_uring stuff being some of the better innovations.

He talks about the human element and it being something which AI lacks and I would say the human element is lacking in this piece. People write to express themselves, to share, and to create, the sense of accomplishment is lost when you move creation and expression to AI. This is not making writing more accessible as he asserts, it is at best making the use of AI more accessible by explaining to people how they can use it to be mildly entertained (distracted) for a while until the next fad comes along. The really big thing that will prevent AI assisted writing from getting any real foothold is that how are "writers" going to feel about their writing when it turns out the only bits anyone wants to talk to them about end up being the parts written by the AI? They will end up feeling that AI is a better writer than they are and give up writing because what's the point and they only started writing on a whim anyways because it was so easy.

In these early days of AI there is a sense of accomplishment in gaming the system but that will pass once it gets done a few times and it will be about as exciting and fulfilling as printing out a copy of your favorite painting, it will be banal.
>I'd have said N=1 vs the study out there, but I too work with screens & LED lighting all the time & the "light spectrum" that affects me is not exactly the indoor component.

Also my wife hates the sharp white light so we always go for the warm yellow LEDs.
Allowed? No. Forced.
If you charge some cost per mail (whether that's CPU time or actual money), users/teams would check their spend and optimize accordingly. They'd notice runaway spend and act on it. The only reason why mail servers become compromised and nobody notices is that bandwidth for mail is generally too cheap to meter. On any 10s of megabits connection, sending a deluge of spam is trivial.
> I have come to the conclusion that that almost every work created by an AI tool should be copyrightable, even without the iterative refinement and post-processing that Kris performed. The more I search, the more I see similarities with photography and the long copyright battles over what minimum amount of creativity is needed to support the copyright in a photograph.

I think this is shortsighted; this opens up a space for "AI copyright trolls" who generate images for popular prompts in an automated fashion to get copyright, then go after people using AI art who happened to hit the same seed and prompt. Admittedly unlikely, but it could happen, and might eventually even be worth the GPU time depending on how popular AI artwork becomes (and how fast GPUs get).

In any case, I don't see why the unaltered, or in this case extremely minorly altered, image output itself should be copyrightable. It's like two people going to Venice Beach to record the waves at the same time. They each have copyright over their specific recordings, but they can't copyright the sounds of the waves itself; the other person is free to do what they want with their own recording of the same sound. The same way that if you generate a Midjourney image with a specific prompt/seed, I should be able to use the same settings to generate the same image and do what I want with it.
Lots of issues but mostly it didn't meet the sky high initial expectations Intel set for the product. It might've met expectations with the current generation of the product combined with CXL, but now it's cancelled and we'll never know!
Grow some crystals, build some counters, take on DoD contracts to run global surveys monitoring background radiation, expand the airframe fleet, do some broad area photography on the side.

That made one of my former bosses (an Australian) a millionaire several times over in the 1960s.

Hell, pretty much any Cold War era DoD contract would rain money .. and there was more going on than just weapons development, SIGINT and counter measures ran hot.

I have no "micro-architecture noSQL skills", I do have a few million battle tested SLOC's out in the field, know C, Fortran, ASM (for multiple archs), physics, robotics, a bit of electronics, wet photography, geophysics, mining, agriculture, etc.
Why not simply provide a subsidy directly to that subgroup that can now afford houses because of lower interest rates instead of providing massive benefits to those who can already afford? Not to mention second homes, etc.

We are subsidizing the well-off to allow some subgroup to afford owning homes while excluding the poorest from getting any benefits.
It never works like that. First there were implementations, often several, then they were standardized: POSIX, Common Lisp, HTML, JavaScript, etc.

Whatever will supplant POSIX is going to be something that will have been proven to work already, ready to be standardized. If it's not there yet, POSIX can reign supreme, despite all its (real) flaws.
Optical Transformers
No closer by what definition?

Thinking it through, I would say that "autocomplete" would be uni-multistructural and uni-unifunctional given that autocomplete is always structured only one way for the given environment that it's in, but that structure differs between environments (e.g. a phone, or a form in a web-browser), and that regardless of what environment its in it's only function is to predict the next token of output for a given input.

LLMs like ChatGPT on the other hand I would imagine to be uni-multistructural and multi-multifunctional, given that for any given environment you deploy an LLM into it's always structured the same, but there are many different structures it can take given there are lots of different LLMs. And I believe it to be multi-multifunctional because even within a single environment it can be used as an instrument to perform a wide variety of extrinsic functions, and this is true of other environments it could be deployed in.

So... it's actually significantly closer.

I concur. I shot a couple weddings and was absolutely burnt out at the end. Lots of stress; being in the right place at the right time with the right gear set to the right settings with all the expectations of the bride and groom and family.

I’m sure it gets easier, but it’s a grind.
I have no insight into how we store things. I sometimes have input into the buy or port to a replacement decision, but if we decide to buy there is a completely different department that handles the details.

Caps are an issue that is easiest for people here to understand, but we have a long list of similar issues to watch for in storing parts
but not in the case. Things are not fine. I tried for years to bend over backward so that my code was POSIX compliant. At some point enough is enough.
Windows has ostensibly been, or at least has been claimed to be, “POSIX compliant” for much longer than that. I think however technically true that might be, a good heuristic for why Windows is “other” in this categorization is how frequently things are reported as broken in Windows environments when they don’t have any other platform-specific issues across many *nixes. Sure that divergence might not be specific to POSIX, but a more general “every other system from every other vendor agrees broadly on ___ but if you use Windows your environment needs special accommodations.” Anecdotally, the surface area of this divergence is basically equivalent to any project which constructs file paths, and/or executes subcommands, unless special care was taken prior to address Windows specifically.

And Windows is certainly entitled to its own particularities and idiosyncrasies! But it’s not entitled to have those and be regarded as not having them at the same time. That would be absurd.
> The sellers can’t sell either because the next house will have a disproportionate loan amount

I dont have the numbers but most houses dont have loans specially old people houses who want to downsize or kids want to sell because their parents have paswed away.

On the other hand most majority of buyers need loans which is expensive in a high interest scenario.
I get what you're saying but we shouldn't escalate this into a type of prison gang situation, there's significant middle ground.

When the research is becoming clear that these dynamics and these years of a teen life cause so much harm, we can't be so fatalistic to say that giving in is mandatory.
Yes, the manual does say not to use adaptive cruise control (Distronic) on icy or slippery roads, if visibility is poor, or if the radar sensors are affected by a variety of weather conditions. Cruise will even automatically disengage if electronic stability intervenes.

I’m mostly annoyed that false positives such as the Nevada issue described above or a one-time splash of water on the sensor when it’s perfectly safe to use cruise control results in the whole system being unavailable for an extended period of time. To me, the right solution would be to disengage Distronic when the sensor can’t see well enough and then allow the driver to re-engage traditional cruise control if they deem it safe to do so. The system doesn’t have the sensors or the smarts to know if it’s actually safe to use cruise control, only the driver can make that judgement. From the manual: “Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time and for staying in your lane.”
