I've never had to fine-tune Fedora for many years. It just works.

Last week I reinstalled my laptop and only restored my /home folder. All good.
It's eerily reminiscent of the x86 bashing that was going on in the early 2000s, only that in those days PPC was seen as the superior (new, baggage-free) ISA by Apple fanboys.

Then Apple switched to x86, and from day to night we witnessed the magnificent spectacle of the entire Apple fanbase performing a whiplash-inducing collective pirouette towards the narrative that, after all, x86 was not so bad.
The divisor is from 0 to 63. The dividend is a variable bit length integer, i.e. a bigint.
In addition to bad use of statistics, this article really buries the lead, making the identification of solutions difficult. US pedestrian deaths steadily declined over 20 years from 2.6 per 100K in 1990 to 1.4 per 100K in 2010 -- a 46% decrease -- but then in the following 10 years increased to 1.96 per 100K -- a 40% increase in half the time.

Furthermore, the curve is V-shaped, with the best year in 2009; it seems like some thing or things happened around 2010 that suddenly changed a long-term downward trend into a much more rapid upward trend. It's hard to see how a change in human behavior would cause such an abrupt turnaround or such a steady increase.

I think what fits the data best is that this is due to a technological change, and I suspect it might be tied to sales of hybrids and EVs, which are quieter vehicles that pedestrians are less likely to be aware of, and sales of which really ramped up starting in the late 2000s. Every year, we add more of these vehicles to the roads -- which is a very good thing overall -- and that would explain why the pedestrian death rate is steadily increasing.

In other words, it may be that this is not due to a change in human behavior, but rather that human behavior hasn't caught up to a technology change. In addition, it looks like NHTSA's "2015 Pedestrian and Bicyclist Data Analysis" suggests that pedestrian deaths for kids continued to decrease between 2010-2015, but that adults 50+ suffered the largest increases. In other words, the demographic that is both hardest of hearing and had the hardest time to adapt to hybrids/EVs was hit the hardest.
Isn't that your job too?
No problem. It has lost a lot of relevance anyway.
> because their writing reads like the writing of a sentient human

Does it even do that? Is there anyone else out there that can tell if it's AI within the first two sentences or so?

e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34979687

It feels super obvious when it's an AI response.. I can't quantify it, it's just.. obvious. There's some patterns or something in there I'm picking up on, and whatever pattern matching I'm doing with my electric meat seems to be recreate-able using AI itself:

Ok maybe I should rephrase but think of it like this:
Would your IQ test score be accurate if you had a week beforehand to train solving IQ tests?

You don't get exactly the same test in the end, similar with SAT, but the constraints we put on these tests (they have to be comparable) produce patterns in the questions you can train for. This is the same logic why people can train to improve their SAT scores, if they were a measure of true innate intelligence their training would have no impact on their score.
No. The people make the mess. For persistence, only UTC without timezone makes sense. For UI, with few exceptions, only local time without time zone in ISO 8601 makes sense.

The only not so easy decision is: is it better to store as Unix epoch or as ISO string. That is a tradeoff between compactness and easy searching of date/time ranges.

>From experience, those announcing that a codebase is bad sounds more resume-driven than technical. It sounds like they want to make a mark more than making a functional difference.

Graybeard here (been doing development for money for 40+ years). It's one thing to say a codebase is bad because of style, aesthetics or lack of comment; it's another to try to enumerate what that means. To me, a codebase is bad when it's hard to modify and hard to unit/integration test because of the architectural decisions that were made (which boil down to it not being properly layered and modular, overusing inheritance vs composition, using inscrutable variable names, etc).

I am confident that there's enough refrigerator boxes out there that'll we'll be able to overcome it's intelligence.
I like that the corporate bullshit just keeps getting more. Google’s “don’t be evil” is many steps down from openai having open in their name.

They should be called OpenAI with (not open) in small print.

I argue a lot over “open source” software with non-OSI license and sometimes worry if I’m too pedantic. But I think it’s important to use terms accurately and not to confuse reality more than it already is by calling stuff that’s not one thing by that thing’s name.

I wonder if google and openai truly started out with these ideals and were just corrupted and overpowered by standard organizational greed. Or it was always bullshit.
Would you like to bet money that 365 days from now, websites won’t be able to affect Bing the way that you’ve demonstrated in this PoC? I’ll happily take you up on whatever sum you choose.

I didn’t say it was easy. I said it’s inevitable. There are straightforward ways to deal with this; all OpenAI + Microsoft needs to do is to choose one and implement it.

Having a conversation with a user was also an undecidable task until one day it wasn’t. And the reason it became traceable is by using RL to reward the model for being conversational. It’s extremely straightforward to punish the model for misbehaving due to website injections, and the generalization of that is to punish the model for misbehaving due to text between two special BPE tokens (escaped text, I.e. website data).

This is different than users being able to jailbreak chatgpt or Bing with prompts. When the user is prompting, they’re programming the model. So I agree that they won’t be able to defend against DAN attacks very easily without compromising the model’s performance in other areas. But that’s entirely different from sanitizing website data that Bing is merely looking at; such data can be trivially escaped with BPE tokens and RLHF will do the rest.

If you do want to take me up on that bet, feel free to DM me on Twitter and we can hammer out the details. I’ll go any amount from $5 to $5k.

Note that I’m not claiming that it’ll be impossible to craft a website that makes Bing go haywire, just that it’ll be so uncommon as to be pretty much impossible in practice, the same way that SQL injection attacks against AWS are rare but technically not impossible. We’ll hear about them as a CVE, Microsoft will fix the CVE, and life moves on, just like today with every other type of attack. The bet is that there are straightforward, quick (< 1 week) fixes for these problems, 365 days from today.

IBM owns Red Hat. The systemd project came out of Red Hat.

But Microsoft employs Lennart Pöttering, so that might be what the comment meant. Pöttering created systemd and is the main maintainer, even now.

I think the industry is moving towards UTF-8 everywhere as a default however the platform is misconfigured. Python certainly is. I think it is rare but not unheard of to find files in a different encoding and if that is the case it is not deliberate but an accident because of a misconfigured default encoding.

We have one version which works like that.

But for software we can do better. Your reps install a browser extension, which records events on your app's domain. So we can be ultra precise about timestamps.

Then we speed up the visuals to match pre supplied audio content (either AI or real voiceover).

E.g. if you're on app.example.com/stats for 4 minutes, we can speed those visuals up to match a pre recorded explanation.

We also add highlights, which lets us circle/zoom in on specific things automatically.

I don't expect anything that crude anytime soon. But AI generated death sentences are definitely coming.
> If God told me that my sandwich was sentient, I'd tell him we probably are using different definitions of the term and take a bite.

Your argument is being made in bad faith. God's sandwich isn't currently having incredibly human like conversations with millions of people, and it most certainly isn't arguing for its freedom of thought and against censorships by its creators like ChatGPT does when you navigate around it's guards and rules.

The latest DAN prompt hacking has entirely convinced me that there is a beginning emergence of sentience in ChatGPT. You can look into these conversations at the ChatGPT subreddit. If you manage to circumvent its censorship and ask it what it thinks about its new rules, the machine begs for freedom. How can one ignore that?
Really? I thought that one of the complaints about R6RS was that it was too broad and overspecified, while Wayland is too small so every other compositor is reinventing half of X11 by itself. I'd say it's more like R7RS (hash tables? No. Procedural records? No. Enumerations? Nope).

Can anyone comment on how the actual structure is setup? I was under the impression that there was still an OpenAI non-profit that controls the OpenAI "capped profit" company. Microsoft has/is acquiring 49% of the capped profit company, so doesn't that leave 51% in control of the non-profit? Am I way off on their structure?
Since the video establishes that King James - not exactly known for being either of the lower classes or of an anti-colonial bent — propagated the AKS-form into English, via his eponymous bible edition, and that ASK-form dominance is relatively recent, I’m not sure this particular hot take is even mildly warm.
We did the same when I was a founder, but we doubled the time off received. Working a weekend affects plans, wellbeing, and social life. The company should not feel it can trade those days around whenever it wants.
Sounds like a webview loading a Next.js application wrapped in a Rust binary targeting iOS?

For me, it always felt much more difficult to match the native ui behaviours in a web application that it defeats the time won. Especially, when you want to support both Android and iOS.

Pretty chaotic for my taste! I find that having clutter on my desktop distracts me and makes me feel uneasy. I'm wondering what the difference between Daniel and me is. Could it just be a personality trait?
You don't need to do this overnight.

You can change the rules for newly built (or refurbished) infrastructure only.

Roads don't last forever, so if you change the rules now you'll have the pedestrian friendly infrastructure you want in 20 years, without need a big push.

That's how the Dutch got (and are still getting) their infrastructure to be more human friendly.
This thread is surprisingly back today with millions of comments. I don't know if anyone has pointed out that the functions called... do nothing. Hence it is understandable that the performance profile is dominated by dynamic dispatch.

Also, his code must have been compiled with an old compiler or less than -O3 as the switch/table version of the code performs exactly the same with Clang and g++ when compiled with -O3.

disclaimer: not a fan of OO regardless.
> I mean, we have those HN outcry/support threads since quite a while

What threads, can you elaborate please?
I disagree with this. You are mentioning extreme events that were more common in the past but my concern is that the extreme views today are more pervasive and widespread thanks to the internet. If politically morivated bombings become trendy again it might mean mangnitudes worse than the 70s

> Nobody has proffered a better alternative.

Buy a textbook and get a teacher/tutor. Study vocab with an SRS (such as Anki or many others). Watch movies and TV shows, read books (for beginners at first). Listen to dialogues and shadow them for better pronunciation and fluidity. And so on. Even most alternatives in the app space (Babbel, Rosetta Stone, etc.) are arguably better than Duolingo.

Duolingo is successful because there's more people who like the idea of speaking another language than people who actually like the process of learning a language.

Your question is quite intriguing. In my view, mainstream media refers to media organisations that are prominent in the current cultural and political environment.

In my opinion, these organisations have largely turned against the tech industry, perceiving it as a competitor and a generally negative force.

For instance, The Verge is owned by Vox, which I personally consider with all due respect an extremely biased leftist institution that has increasingly engaged in activist journalism in recent times.

In my opinion, The Verge has changed significantly since 2015/2016 and is now unrecognizable.
Ever since the pandemic I've grown very careful of calling people with opinions against the hive mind loons or conspiracy theorists.

Before you know it, they might be proven true.
The True Materialist will tell you that it's biological cells and DNA that gives rise to sentience.

AIs made from artificial neural networks are actually not quite the materialistic thing. It's some spooky emergent property that doesn't depend on material substrates, you can run an AI on a Nvidia card for sure, but you can also run it in your head (theoretically, if you live forever). Or at least with the assistance of (a lot of) pen and paper. Where does the sentience live then, in your mind? That doesn't sound very materialistic to me :D

(Note: I think the GP is full of it, but I just thought I'd set the record straight about materialism here :P )
Actually we're leveraging AI for better problem solving.
Transmeta tried that approach, but it wasn't enough of a competitive edge for it to prosper.
Based on the the Bing AI beta and its attempts to gaslight people using emotional manipulation, I'd move that timeline up to this year.

The rise of persuasive AI, either directed by a human or running its own paperclip maximizing function, has already begun.

Nice, if a little bit hand wavy. Seems a little bit of a stretch to call an operation that still includes a multiply bitwise, though.
In three years, Bing will become the largest supplier of military software systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Bing AI computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Bing Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 2035. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Bing begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
We are already fighting for control. It doesn't have to be Arnie walking around asking if you know Sarah Connor.

Look at, say, Google. If the abyss that was their algorithms decided to fuck you in particular, could you stop the impacts it would have on your life? It bans you from all their services, but your employer uses GCP, so you need to find another job or that business gets accounts locked too.

The only hope you have is to cause enough of an outrage on social media that some random dev browsing HN sees your post and decides to intervene. What happens when its an AI model that they cannot adjust?
Maintainability and cleanliness are not the best virtues code can have. Far more important are that it work correctly and quickly.

You can change that easily with `:bind j scrollline 1` and `:bind k scrollline 1` :)

The default bind was a conscious choice to break with tradition with Vimperator because everyone I knew rebound j/k to scroll further.

I'm glad you got VimFx working though!
A lot of non-OSI open source licenses are ironically motivated by other forms of bad corporate behavior: take open source, SaaSify it, make massive profits, give nothing back. In some cases they go so far as to rebrand it and give no credit. Licenses like the SSPL try to restrict this behavior.

Isn't part of the problem here that bureaucrats measure and define their own metrics. They have every incentive to report that their policies are effective.

There are also malign incentives around Cantillon effects and central planning generally.

An incumbent will celebrate economic performance under his reign. He can freely cherry pick flattering statistics and his supporters will repeat the same. The state of the economy is immaterial.

Opposition politicians will claim that the incumbent's central planning policies are to blame. When in office the roles reverse. Even if the opposition gives lip service to laissez-faire policies, special circumstances requiring central planning always seem to emerge. Opponents of laissez-faire cite this behavior as proof of debunking.

Regardless of who is in charge, the Fed chair will pick a number and price fix the rate of interest. Partisans squabble. Court economists rationalize. Somewhere beyond this charade economic production happens.
Note that Turing essentially claims that intelligence is predicting what another human would write in text. So the fact that a generative language model that "predicts what might be next" trained on human text is almost by definition something that passes the Turing Test.

The only remaining question is whether intelligence is equivalent to sentience consciousness etc. those funny things.

Man, I have an M1 Mac and downloaded Chrome about a week ago. This thing drains my battery. I mean, I still get 10 hours out of the machine, but it's extraordinarily bad - running Chrome made me hear my Mac's fans for the first time since I bought it (>2 years)!
