I meant a version that had text to speech and speech to text incorporated so that you could actually talk to it.

I hadn’t considered textual conversations. That’s a good idea.

Personally I’m learning a couple of languages with foreign alphabets, so I’m really still in the stages of just learning the alphabets. (And Duolingo makes it possible by being casual and convenient.)
Retracted in light of BoorishBear's comment, which is definitely true. I'm not a big hip hop guy, but I think that the "everyone sounds like T-Pain" comment is something like 10-15 years out of date.

I have to say that I'm really not a fan of what seems to be "topping the charts" in hip-hop today, but even so, there's undeniably people doing new and interesting things in the genre.

A few releases since the heyday of T-Pain that I did enjoy:

* To Pimp a Butterfly

* DAMN

* Coloring Book

* Kids See Ghosts

* We Got It From Here ... Thank You For Your Service

I've also really enjoyed some of the hip-hop adjacent stuff that Thundercat has put out, especially Drunk. (Thundercat is amazingly talented, and was a big part of the production on TPAB).
Sure, the happy path is straightforward. I'm fine with that (except I don't see why they're pursuing the HTML attribute variant... just keep it CSS).

The complexity comes later in the article when they talk about handling details and oddities. Like `position-fallback`.

Again, maybe this is just as simple as it gets since it's just a hard problem. I really would love a CSS-only solution to this. Use cases are everywhere, and I certainly don't have any better ideas.

I don't think you mean service mesh here, or at least not Istio/Linkerd style service mesh
I also used to be annoyed by how long it took to get “basic useful functionality” for some use case in CSS. Over the years I have mellowed as I recognized it simply takes a long time to converge on what functionality is actually desired, and then what systems need to be in place so you can request that functionality in the most obvious location in your code (e.g. it turns out we really want to put the request for centering on the element to be centered, not the parent) along with figuring out the truly minimal, truly necessary information to carry out that functionality — and then further still to implement those needed systems in all major browsers. It’s just a long and incremental process by its nature and we probably can’t do much better than that. Ironically, the fact that the state of the art changes every few years is evidence that this process, though slow, does work reliably well.
> Taking your passion and making it your day work is obviously tempting but also a risky game, as you will keep “working” tirelessly if you’re not putting barrier

Risky game indeed. It’s 1:24am here in Australia and I’ve finally stopped attempting to reverse a network protocol for an embedded device which I’m pentesting. Reading the article is a good reminder of what can happen if you push it too far. The challenge is with this type of work you often have to put in the hours, particularly if it’s a hard target..

If you lack the passion and drive you simply just won’t retain and develop the skills required to deliver. If seasoned pentesters disagree, then I’m all ears.
Some Notes on Using Nix

The answer is always "No" to telemetry in every case.
I have tried Wayland several times over the last few years, but I have many persistent niggles caused by third parties refusal to fully support it. For one, Discord doesn't support push-to-talk VOIP on Wayland (I believe it requires them to create a daemon for global keypresses). I also recently 'upgraded' my RX 5700 XT to a 3070, because I received the 3070 for free, and Nvidia just refuses to support Wayland.

It's not that Wayland is bad. It's that companies, whose primary focus is Windows, just refuse to develop for it.
The InstructGPT paper only explains the RLHF part of how ChatGPT works. There's reason to believe that isn't enough to achieve ChatGPT's performance and behaviour (e.g. [1]). There are other components that make ChatGPT more powerful, and OpenAPI is not being open about them.

The flip side is there are people out there that do everything they want now. A couple people I know have been doing that for quite some time. They're getting older now - they've raided their retirement, they don't have much in terms of savings, no assets. Life is getting more difficult for them as they get older. My advice would be to find some balance. Go on some great adventures within reason. There's no reason to buckle down entirely until you're 60 but be smart about it.
That sounds like an amazing job, which I never heard of. How did you get into that?

I've found that I've incidentally been doing this and am already planning on continuing the pattern.

I've had some shame about not making most of my past year off though. My entrepreneurial ideas haven't taken off, I didn't quite cut it with freelancing, and I honestly didn't rest that much (just spent time worrying about $).

All learning though, I now have an idea of how much I'll need to actually feel free next time.

Any other insights though? Thanks!

Actually I descend at 70-74km/h. Routinely. The main worry would be a tire failure. The odds of a rear triangle failing on a steel bike because it was bent outward by 2mm on each side are approximately zero.

That said if the front fork on a steelie gets bent even a little bit by an accident, I don't ride it any more. I've had to retire one for that reason.
that would be really great… if AMD had a working software stack that supported consumer (as opposed to: datacenter) APUs. I'm writing this on a machine with a Ryzen APU… and it's pretty much unusable for compute.

And that's not a hardware problem (the hardware specs would be nice enough) but AMD not giving a shit about having a working software stack, especially if it doesn't fall into one of the two domains: "gamers" or "datacenter".
There isnt anything stopping you from asking questions like why is something done this way. You might see it as slave labour, but if you laid bricks for example, you cant lay bricks in temperatures below 3 or 4 degrees C, and you can only lay so many rows of bricks high as the mortar has to set.

Where most people are failed by those around them, like parents and school's is pointing out when you leave education, you wont stop learning, and its always good to ask questions and plan ahead what you want to do with your life.

Arguably have a bucket list which will change as you age in order to have something to aim for, and dont get caught in the trap of settling for second best or end up being used by people who think might be your friends but only knew you because of what you could do for them on the cheap.

Now you might have called your summer job slave labour, I look at it as being paid to exercise as well as learning new skills and make new contacts.

On the subject of aimless excited programmers, there's lots of ways to look at programming before learning a language.

If one wants to earn a lot of money, then consider database related programming, everything is data, even spreadsheets can be considered flat files of sorts.
And whilst you probably wouldnt use javascript to write a database app in, even though you could stuff data into a cookie and run it client side, there are better general purpose languages suited to database work, besides the obvious sql languages.

If chasing the money, consider looking at what's involved in high frequency trading where you'll be writing your own OS to maintain the super high speeds required for algorithmic trading. Co-locating data centres as close as possible to trading exchanges is just one part of the problem. [1]

IF you want to do apps for smart phones, again look at the languages that deliver the most for you, but also consider whether you should go with a popular language like dotnet or java thats portable across platforms, or whether you want to go with a niche language that might become less popular over time especially when considering there are thousands of languages that exist, with many having fallen by the wayside.

Or maybe it is a way to hide a weak or extremely busy engineering team and they prefer to delegate the tasks.
I remember NOVA did an episode "Secrets of the Viking Sword" (a sort of sequel to a similar episode about Japanese sword making traditions) where a modern blacksmith created a sword using presumed methods from the viking era to create a crucible steel sword. They pointed out the advantages that the better metallurgy would provide; I remember them showing the sword flex while most contemporary swords would have broken.

The idea was that this was sort of a trade secret for steel production and so it was rare and this may be one of the sources for legends of "magic swords".
Yes, by including code that if run, alters what happens. For example, you can add JavaScript code that handles the "comments" links on the front page in the new way (fetch the data and render it). For those browsers that don't run the code, everything will continue to work in the old way (links will cause a request to the server, which will render the comments).
That is marketing spin, his offer was freely licencing their patents in exchange for free usage from other big automakers which he knew would never happen.

Does anyone else wonder what their life might have been if you had never gotten into tech? I sometimes think I may be happier, but certainly less wealthy. My free time would probably be just that, free time - instead of having the relentless drive I have to do another app, blog post, etc.

On the other hand - the "hustle" economy is everywhere now, not just tech. Everyone has a side gig, and the grass isn't always greener. So, who knows.

Great post and best of luck in management.
I looked at a couple different subreddits and their threads for the latest episode.

/r/television has a few dozen hits for “boring”. It really was a slow episode, and combined with the previous episode it’s starting to become a slow series overall.

The one on the official subreddit? Zero. It’s eerie just how _positive_ everyone is which is hard to believe considering reactions elsewhere.

I've had jobs like this a couple of times and they've always been my favorite. Unfortunately, later in my career I haven't been able to find or create this again. It seems like you have to stumble onto it from somewhere else in an organization.
“ Obviously they wouldn't do as well but they still do better than chance” is a huge understatement. If a model wasn’t trained with any SAT questions and answers but was trained with the same verbal and mathematical knowledge a high school student would have, the AI would do extremely poorly in an actual test. In contrast, the vast majority of human test takers would score leagues above picking answers by chance.

Your original reply insinuated that the AI is learning very similar to how humans do and that’s just not true. Yes, humans do pattern matching based on prior experiences/knowledge like AI does when you train a model, but human intelligence goes way beyond that.
It's not trolling.

I strongly suspect this is why half-timbered houses, although being much more earthquake resilient than stone houses, haven't been common in Italy for thousands of years now. There simply wasn't enough wood left.
It's different to our ideas of being good at maths. On the one hand, as you mention it can sometimes resolve large individual calculations, but I have seen it be wrong for very simple world problems or even explicit equations with only a couple operations which I myself can immediately catch. It's not a fundamental flaw: I expect it to get better at this as time goes on. But its other of those fascinating little quirks it has that are so noteworthy only because of how competent it appears to be in other areas
I'm not sure if it was 1999, but I remember Mir being the golden future of display servers and Wayland being a pipedream. That didn't work out very well.
Absolutely this. The iOS mobile client of a system of I was responsible for once spontaneously stopped working, dumping users back to the login screen. The Android client was fine, and we couldn't see any issues in the backend logs.

After quite a bit of digging into the problem we eventually found that the iOS app was using a single error handler for all HTTP requests, including the one being made to query Status Page for any active incidents so they could be shown to users - our Status Page account had been erroneously disabled, which meant the requests were returning a 401, which the app interpreted as the user needing to re-authenticate. I'm not sure I've ever been embarrassed than having to report upstream that the cause of an incident was our solution for flagging incidents to customers.
I immigrated from a middle eastern country with hyperinflation and politics that are based on tribal/religious identity.

Even if you leave and do well, you will miss out on family, cousins growing up, grandparents passing away. Your parents..

A positive is that by you leaving you get to support your family back home.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, people in developed countries have no idea what they got. Simple stuff they take for granted like hot water/electricity.

Best of luck brother
My Linode costs have already gone up 20% this year when they started charging VAT. :/ I have been with Linode since 2008.

Now I can expect another 20%?

I don't understand why there is a cost for IPs other than trying to prevent people from "wasting" them.
> I quit infosec...
You'd be surprised how often this happens though. I've seen all the following structures:

CISO -> COO -> CEO

CISO -> CIO -> COO -> CEO

CISO -> CSO -> COO -> CEO

CISO -> CLO -> CEO

CISO -> CLO -> CFO (wtf?) -> CEO

And none of:

CISO -> CEO, or even

CISO -> CSO -> CEO

The only one I've seen be extremely effective aside from a direct reporting relationship has been where the role reported up to the CLO (general counsel) and said role reported up to the CEO directly. Reporting up to the CIO or CFO (again wtf?), there were conflict issues at play where the CIO or CFO was obligated to prioritize their main mission. CISO to COO worked fine generally from what I saw, as did CISO to CSO to COO, but it meant the CEO was often shielded from issues where they could impactfully move the needle where needed.

---

The CFO one was at a company owned by private equity, which makes perverse sense when you consider that most business leaders consider infosec to be a pure cost center rather than a business enablement function. Doesn't help that many CISOs historically never ran their shops with business enablement in mind either, which put a lasting dent in infosec's reputation as a function that many emerging leaders are still trying to rehabilitate.

Performance is not an absolute. At the end of the day it is about user experience. From a computer science point of view, we can measure memory and CPU usage, but if the users haven't been complaining then what problems are you actually solving (at least from a product POV)?

Performance for performance sake is an interesting and appealing challenge to us engineers. I was writing C code in the 90s and I miss being that close to the hardware, trying to spare every clock cycle that I could while working with machines that had sparse resources.

But today I'm building SaaS products for millions of simultaneous active users. When customers complain about performance it is often not what us engineers think of as "performance." They're NOT saying things like "Your app is eating all memory on my phone" or "the rendering of this table looks choppy." It's usually issues related to server-side replication lag causing data inconsistencies or in some cases network timeouts due to slow responding services.

The point is the age old advice that we were giving aspiring game programmers back in the 90s:

Figure out and understand your priorities.

The famous inverse square root function in the Quake III Arena source code is a great example. If memory serves me, they needed this calculation as part of their particle physics engine. The problem is that calculating inverse square roots precisely is very expensive, especially at the scale they were required to. So they exploited how 32-bit floating point numbers are represented in binary in order to do a fast, good enough approximation. This is a good example of a targeted, purposeful optimization.

Back in the 90s we were obsessed over getting the most out of our hardware, especially when coding games. So we picked up all sorts of performance hacks and optimizations and learned how to code in assembly so that we could get even closer to the bare metal if we needed to. The result was impossible to understand and maintain code and so experienced engineers taught us young'uns:

Write clean code first, then profile to understand what your bottlenecks are, then to make TARGETED optimizations aimed at solving performance issues in order of priority.

That priority always being driven by user experience and/or scalability requirements.

Anything else is premature optimization. You're speculating about where your performance bottlenecks are, and you're throwing out maintainable code for speculative reasons; not actually knowing how much of an impact your optimizations are going to have on user experience.
if they were two disparate thoughts why did you put them next to each other with no indication of the disparity? and why do the two things have clear impact on each other?
Which national public owned entities do you trust?
But behavior alone cannot be an indicator for sentience as you can simply record behavior and play it back. Sentience has more to do with sensory perception and feedback loops than mental capability or intelligence.

If a future AI attains sentience on a commodity processor, that wouldn't imply that the program is what achieved sentience, rather the computer running the program and all computers before had sentience and the AI is just an interface between the computer and humans that lets it express its sentience in a way that can be understood by humans.

If you really believed that behavior is what drives sentience, then non verbal people with autism would have very low sentience and if they somehow overcome their non verbalism, they would gain sentience throughout their life, which is at odds with the fact that many people believe that animals in factory farms are sentient for instance, despite their poor language skills and complete lack of effort needed to achieve sentience.
I read astalavista and thought you meant AltaVista. After rereading, I'm not sure.
Because ChatGPT doesn't have motivations, it has a bag of connected neutral nets modelling text and some biased training. It has no capacity for introspect and control itself. It's extremely stupid. The average person has assumptions you can discover, and tends to respond the same way to the same stimulus. ChatGPT is like a person with epilepsy and a massive stroke.
Hi all. I would like to share a software/script developed in python (a little known application). The essence of this software is to automate participation on a site like SteamGift (I think a lot of people have heard of it).

Hmm. Crowdfunding avenues exist. What is missing is trust ( also undermined by OpenAI ). I am trying to think who I would believe to have the knowledge, skill, PR skills ( or at least name recognition ) and ethics necessary to pull it off and I am drawing a blank. I am admittedly merely an interested party, but it does not bode well since the rest of the public knows or cares even less.
