Anyhow, I think I elaborated in other places. I don't think it is a bad role, but as a tech first, programming first type of person I would never be a CISO. Even as a manager I want to manage interesting technical things and spread knowledge and skills of how to build (secure) interesting technical things to people. CISO and risk management roles everywhere herd cats and don't really get to do that. So you have to keep in mind my perspective. Comp and top end of the risk management and information security management career can be really rewarding, but it is a mostly thankless job trying to get people to do things that no one will ultimately like all that much even if it is the right thing and they know it :)
After the balloon incident, and the US government cracking down on tiktok we now have a coordinated drop of lab leak articles in the press, with no new evidence presented at all. We know historically that the US government engages in propaganda, including the 2002 NIE that led to war with Iraq and the yellowcake/joseph wilson affair. But in real time we're always completely blind to the US government using propaganda and distorting intelligence. And I've heard "they know things we don't" used before to get people to uncritically accept falsehoods from US intelligence.
Gadget bikes for the wealthy in it as a hobby really are a world of their own.
> Do you find yourself frustrated working with your colleagues, thinking, “you know, I bet if they felt more free to utter racist slurs or endorse illegal activities, we would get a ton more done around here”?

I once visited Parler just to see what it was like, and pretty quickly found that the answer to your question seems to be yes. There are definitely people who feel they need that kind of dialog in their life. You might not think it was necessary in a random conversation about programming or something, but it turns out that isn't a universally held position.
This isn’t as true as it sounds, ex. stable diffusion can do better but requires in depth practice and experience.

For your average user, DallE is easy, MJ is fairly disorienting, and SD requires a technical background. I agree with you completely no one serious is doing art with DallE.

I would have said same as you until I tried integrating SD vs. DallE APIs, I desparately want SD because it’s easily 1/10th the cost, but it misses the point much more often. Probably gonna ship it anyway :X
From what I understand (and I may be wrong) the "need to warm up" was less about getting oil everywhere on cold-start (there are a few very large engines that have this as an actual issue, but they have a separate electric motor to distribute oil) and more about larger tolerances in machining that wouldn't "tighten up" until the engine was warm.

Modern engines are much tighter tolerances and should be fine for "on demand" instant start.
"nix flake update" should be able to do that.
People usually still use SD v1.5 because of the experience that people have with finetuning and merging with it. Also a lot of LoRA are trained for v1.4/1.5 models and they wouldn't work with v2.1, of course you also have incredible capability to control the generation with SD and this helps, to see some result: https://youtu.be/AlSCx-4d51U
Roughly speaking, words or word parts. Open AI has an explainer:

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936856-what-are-tokens-...

You can also check your input using their tokenizer:

So, your example is ~9 tokens
I tend to agree.

One way to ease that pain is for apple to make itself a supplier to others rather than the supplier and consumer of it's own parts. A top of the line iPhone costs ~$500 to 1000 bucks! why not try and go after the middle of the market by licencing the chipsets and other tech so that they can then supply mid teir companies that can compete in the android space with the lure of apple chipsets and hardware.
I was working on a backup system, the usual. Walk a directory tree, track new/changed files, then queue them for sha256 and encryption, then upload to a server with gRPC.

I hit the GIL, switched to multiprocessing, which helped. Still was about half as fast as I expected. Switched to go and using channels and got the performance I expected. Was still debating, till I got deeper into Python's crypto package. I ended up really happy with go.
Cool... can we get that "too big to fail" bank bailout back then?
It's not "equal".

If you guarantee "exactly once", you design your systems differently than "at least one with idempotence". A system designed for exactly once will be less complicated than a system designed for at least once + idempotence, which is why it is ideal but impossible.
Stable Diffusion isn’t free if you include the cost of the machine. Maybe you already have the hardware for some other reason, though?

To compare total cost of ownership for a business, you need to compare using someone else’s service to running a similar service yourself. There’s no particular reason to assume OpenAI can’t do better at running a cloud service.

Maybe someday you can assume end users have the hardware to run this client side, but for now that would limit your audience.
Every manufacturer has plants in the US, for the most part, including Hyundai. They make ~10% of all their cars (globally) in Alabama. They could have chosen to make their EV fleet here, as well. Can't say I particularly disagree with the decision to require US manufacturing. Pretty much every other car manufacturer can do it.
Taking care of elderly family members at home went away well before the recent dip in mental health and falls in line with the decline of family values. I'm personally saddened by the change, but I don't think it explains much here.

I'm guessing fewer 16-19yo have jobs mainly because school is more important now. College attendance is way up. But more importantly, the whole phone / social media thing is life-sucking even for kids who don't actively engage in it.
We still find SQL Injection at an alarming rate... but yes, eventually it would be nice to make it nearly impossible to do the wrong thing by default for programmers. That is the dream. Information systems are just too vast and complex for that to be true on any time scale I could predict for you, though, so job security seems pretty good!
What if your password is leaked from some website’s database or you have a keylogger or someone somehow sees it? Wouldn’t it help then?
Why would you use a niche programming that you can’t find any developers for? I would just use Go.
Are people dangerous? Yes or no question.

Do we have shitloads of regulations on what people can or cannot do? Yes or no question.
If you don't think idempotency can be complex then you haven't really worked on serious distributed computing problems.
I think chess can be difficult to appreciate for many reasons, but computers beating humans is probably at the bottom of that list, if not on the opposite list of reasons to be encouraged to play as you already explained.

Anyway, I can only speak for my past self and a few people I've known, but it's usually simple why people don't play.

It can be socially unappealing if there's no tradition of playing chess within their circle or that the people that do play might be snobs about it.

It can be difficult to feel encouraged to play since the game itself is complex enough to require more attention than expected and the jargon is confusing. The names of openings, tactics, etc. are not necessarily literal enough, and even when expressed in notation are still vague due to the nature of the game (many variations). For many people there's also a lack of motivation and it just seems unproductive, especially when it becomes clear that winning, even against the weakest AI, isn't common when starting out. Like any game, chess can help improve analytical thinking, but it's abstract enough to not be obvious how. If it's not made a pleasant enough experience, it's just easier to do something else.
As noted in the other comment, Linux (if running fwupd) and Windows support doing it automatically, but the files are made public so other operating systems and distributions can also implement that.
If it can be measured it is objective.

And I find it odd that the objective criteria the author chooses ("it was not an objective collapse in living standards, employment prospects, or opportunities for material security.") are mostly not applicable to teens, but to adults.

And to the extent they are applicable to teens, well teen employment has dropped quite a bit since the Great Recession, and is just now returning to what is was in 2007: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/06/21/after-dropp...

The percent of children living in "poverty" also increased by a few percentage points (about 1/4 to 1/3 in relative percent) after the Great Recession, and didn't fall back to trend until around 2017. This would have affected today's teens during formative times in their childhood: https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/line/43-children-in-po...
Well, there are variable length integers involved, since it's as part of a way of representing variable length integers. But it seems you're right that x is just a regular machine int in this context, as an implementation detail. I misunderstood.

Skills: Team leadership (remote-first), software architecture, open source development, web application development (full-stack, many technologies), code reading, fast learning, systems thinking. 25+ years of programming experience on all OS and most cloud platforms.

Seeking: Individual contributor role or leading a small team to deliver ambitious web applications. Preferably in areas of culture/music/social good.
I think we need to keep the concepts separate because otherwise people get confused. You can not receive a message exactly once. Yes, it's not that hard, if you know this is an issue, to build a system where receiving the same message more than once won't cause a bad thing to happen. There's a few principled ways to do this, and some less principled ways that will still mostly work.

But that's not because you built a system that successfully delivers messages exactly once... you build a system that successfully processes messages exactly once, even if delivery occurs multiple times. The delivery still occurred multiple times. Even if your processing layer handled it, that may have other consequences worth understanding. Wrapping that up in a library may present a nice API for some programmer, but it doesn't solve the Byzantine General problem.

Whenever someone insists they can build Exactly Once with [mumble mumble mumble great tech here] I guarantee you there's a non-empty set of human readers coming away with the idea they can successfully create systems based on exactly-once delivery. After all, I built some code based on exactly-once delivery last night and it's working fine on my home ethernet even after I push billions of messages through it.

We're really better of pushing "There is no such thing as Exactly Once, and the way you deal with is [idempotence/id tracking/whatever]", not "Yes there is such a thing as Exactly Once delivery (see fine print about how I'm redefining this term)". The former produces more accurate models in human brains about what is going on and is more likely to be understood as a set of engineering tradeoffs. The latter seems to produce a lot of confusion and people not understanding that their "Exactly Once" solution isn't a magic total solution to the problem, but is in fact a particular point on the engineering tradeoff spectrum. In particular, the "exactly once" solutions can be the wrong choice for certain problems, like multiplayer game state updates, where it may be a lot more viable to think 1-or-0 and some timestamping and the ability to miss messages entirely and recover, rather than building an "exactly once" system.
Just CSS is not enough for tooltips...

Here is what we've got in 10+ tooltip providing experience in Sciter[1] ...

Declarative tooltips support:

<div title="some text" />
<div titleid="dom-element-id" />
<div tooltip="<b>some html goes here</b>" />

Dynamic support, on demand, event handler:

element.ontooltiprequest = function(evt) {
evt.relatedTarget = ... some dome element reference ...
}

Dynamic, explicit popup show:

anchorEl.popup(popupEl, {anchorPos:..., popupPos:...});
anchorEl.popup(<div>some JSX expr</div>, {anchorPos:..., popupPos:...});

Popups (tooltips included) are shown as out-of-canvas elements - separate desktop windows, that's the must for desktop UI. Check this: https://terrainformatica.com/w3/sciter-tooltip.png

So far these APIs appear as complete, I do not have other tooltip related requests last 5 or so years.

And finally CSS styling:

anchorselector > popup[role="tooltip"] {
...
}

See the article for an explanation of why this is a bad idea. Note that on macOS Python disabled fork()-based multiprocessing as the default long ago (Python 3.8?) because it's so broken, and it will stop being the default for multiprocessing on Linux in 3.14, deprecated in 3.12.
I coded along with the code in the book and can really recommend it. It is well written and well explained.
There would be some drop-off, but gas stations already often lose money on fuel sales and only make it up on the convenience store side.

The local kwik trips have more cars parked at the parking than at the pumps.
I don't get this article -- I do a lot of academic research and love online materials. When I have to access a book that is physical only, half an entire afternoon gets wasted. Online books are orders of magnitude faster to get, to search within, and you can highlight and annotate to your heart's delight.

Everyone agrees rare books and manuscripts need to be kept, which the article admits, so that's not an issue.

So ultimately the question is "regular books" and the crux of the article's argument seems to be:

> One glaring problem with libraries’ increasing their reliance on digital texts is the relatively large number of errors in the Google Books corpus. As archivist Paul Conway has shown, “the imperfection of digital surrogates is an obvious and nearly ubiquitous feature of Google Books.” But, even overlooking the outright errors in the scanned pages, my point is that “content”—what books contain—goes far beyond words in a particular order and beyond page images of a single representative copy. As we detach texts from books, we enable a certain range of procedures while disabling others. Online editions can offer up texts for investigation and discovery, but they are not replacements for the material they represent.

This makes no sense to me. I've never seen an "error" in a Google Books page image. The OCR for sure, but who cares, and that can always be redone. And in terms of "enabling a certain range of procedures while disabling others", online enables a ton, while I'm at a total loss of what is "disabled". Again -- for rare books and manuscripts, of course. A beautiful gilt binding, absolutely. But for just your everyday workhorse books that make up 99+% of a library's content... I just totally and utterly fail to see anything being lost at all. (And so many original covers/bindings are replaced with generic library covers/bindings when acquired, so it's not even that.)
Monetary incentivization works quite well in the economy. The idea that it can't work with teachers is hard to believe.

I've paid for instruction for various things. You bet there's a big difference in ability to teach from person to person. The ones that are good get paid well because they are in demand. The ones who aren't good, well, they wind up trying another career.

Besides, if teachers don't matter, might as well hire a chimpanzee to run the class.
Why not mention the architecture that comes closest to exactly-once delivery? If you store a Kafka offset along with your application state in a transactional datastore, then for all intents and purposes you have exactly-once delivery semantics. This is something I really like about Kafka’s design.
You entirely missed the key point of the original statement. These are not normal loans. You can't get rid of them in bankruptcy. The collectors use predatory (and somewhat terrifying) collection techniques. Stop comparing these to consumer anything, they aren't even remotely like that.
At some point the U.S. government should step up and provide some resources, and offer large datasets for open acess training and pretrained models. In the future, there will be many AI models for various purposes, closed source, guarded, with their moat being the costs to train a similar model on a dataset of similar breadth. This eliminates smaller orgs from ever being able to offer a competing model, and ruins innovation by gatekeeping who is allowed to innovate.

This is exactly the sort of role government is made for. To uplift the collective using the power the collective possess as a massive meta organism. Opening up access to these models will allow our developers to compete against the world and dominate in this space, much like how international researchers in other fields often leave their home countries for the U.S. to get at the resources needed to even engage in cutting edge research (such as institutional access to equipment, compute, data, and research funding that simply doesn't exist in other places).
I love this idea - ssh to see the jobs board. Given the current jobs available (events-producer.md, creative-technologist.md) it's good that you've got a regular webpage [0] backup!

Alright, alright, alright.

In all seriousness though, the ROI must have been worth it if they were willing to pay that much.
I'm curious if (and if so, how) these startups think they're going to survive when the supertankers of the large auto companies complete their miles-long turn and start production at the scale they do ICEs now. The scrappy first-mover advantage will only go so far.

Or are they just angling to be bought up by the big boys as an exit?

Azure will probably provide compliance (HIPAA, GDPR etc.) just like they do with their non-AI offerings.
It also happens to me sometimes that I might lose interest as soon as there is at least moderate progress. The field just loses its appeal and I "switch" :)
fixed with this new release btw
They don't want peasants to have mobility. Hell, we couldn't possibly produce enough EVs (nor provide the power to charge so many) for most middle-class folks to own a car if ICEs are banned.
Yup. Moreover this type of model will only do certain types of things well, and other types of models will do other things much better.
You know that's a lie, don't you?

I'm Mike, a newly minted software developer (<1 year) and a recovering technical Business Analyst (~5 years). My dev experience has been focused on building and maintaining proprietary business systems with .NET / SQL / jQuery. Before my developer work, I spent 5 years in a broad role that spanned several disciplines, including Product (advising stakeholders, backlog management, roadmapping), Design (rapid prototyping, UI/UX design), Business Analysis (requirements negotiation, actionable User Stories) and QA (testing, managing UAT, bug validation).

While a pure development role would be ideal, I'm also open to technical/functional hybrid roles.
They need to compete against other techs, against other concepts. Making one tech the single and permanent option in perpetuity is just wrong. Tech has to evolve, not just incrementally improve.

The whole point of the article is that, although in general economic conditions can negatively impact mental health, in this case the increase in mental health problems does not coincide with a deterioration in overall economic conditions.
