Yes git is decentralised by design.

Like parent commenter said, this is about all of the other features of GitHub. The issues, the stars, the followers. The social network that MS paid $$$ for.

We need a decentralised alternative to GitHub that lets everyone do everything they are using GitHub for today, without the involvement of any big companies that rule over our social networks.

That is what Jack Dorsey is asking for. That is what we don’t have today.

We need a decentralised social network with GitHub features which makes it so that we can create an account anywhere and use that same account everywhere, across servers. So that there can be a billion GitHub alternative servers with all of the GitHub features, and you can communicate across instances without being beholden to the owners of any single one instance too much.

Jack Dorsey wants this to happen on top of the Nostr protocol specifically.

But yes, if you try to understand all of this from an angle of “git is git” then it might not seem to make sense. But that’s because it’s not about git. It’s about everything social around it.

I credit the book "No More Mr Nice Guy" by Robert Glover as creating the foundation I needed to get out of my valley after my breakup (engaged, 8yr total).

Other self-help books and an ADHD diagnosis built on top of that, but that was the one that changed things and got the ball rolling.

It's not a breakup book or anything, it just covers it incidentally. Going through entire book is what rebuilt me.
I'm not making the case that it's zero risk. But I think the risk is preferable to the alternative of a physical encounter. Maybe I'm old, but paying for software features seems a bit more of an edge case (I know HN skews towards SV, with a higher prevalence of Teslas. I don't know how prevalent paying for additional software-enabled features is with other car companies). I think the feature piece can easily be handled through other mechanisms, like regulations.
Uh no. That was not the case even 15 years ago, they were still expensive. Yes prices have definitely gone up, but at no point in the last 20 years has a middle of the road mountain bike costed $200.
They're using gentrification as an analogy of pricing poor people out of things only.
Can you still get a mountain bike for €262 (inflation updated) that's about as good as one that would have cost €200 in 2008, but people's expectations are higher? Or is the same bike that would have sold for €200 now selling for €600+?
Say what you will about Java, but its tooling is not lacking.
Thanks. So what happens if there's a new feature? e.g. a market place or photo gallery. Do only some servers/relays provide it or is it rolled out everywhere?
That may have been true 20 or 25 years ago but the technology gap technologically between a “cheap” bike and the highest end bike you could buy was much much smaller than it is today. Same with tires. You can still buy a 200 euro bike. It’ll be better than the 200 euro bike from before. You just don’t want it.
Is there anyone involved with it who has experience building successful distributed systems? Every time I’ve seen it mentioned it’s been by someone who was pushing cryptocurrency and it makes the same kind of, let’s politely say, unlikely claims about censorship resistance which the blockchain salespeople like to make.
I don't know about mandatory, as 401(k)'s aren't mandatory in the first place. But incentivization using tax code would be sensible.

You're absolutely right about pensions though; people pining for the days of the fixed benefit pension rarely are all that familiar with the pension plans that simply went bust due to inability to fund their liabilities due to market conditions. At least with a 401(k), you're not running out of money because your retirement is being invested too conservatively so as to pay someone older than you, leaving it empty by the time it's your turn.
I do have to say that I had to buy a new vehicle last summer to replace a 13-year old one and the sheer number of sensors, motors, and other features--at least some of which seem rather gratuitous--gave me some pause. And this was a very middle-of-the-road Honda. Certainly a lot of modern vehicles are very reliable although I wonder if they could be even more reliable if, e.g. the side mirrors didn't tilt down every time you backed up.

There is the popular theory that adding a special token for [system] that can't be created from regular text would solve a lot of the problems, but this site shows that currently a wide range of token combinations work to bring the system into "God mode", so I'm not sure if plugging one hole is enough.
Think of the LLM as an interpreter, and the initial prompt as a script. When you reply, it appends the script and reruns the program.

Because it’s basically a giant word frequency/relationship chart, you can overwhelm the initial prompt by either logic or by word frequency. If the initial prompt is 100 characters and you have 500 characters of different instruction, you basically overflow the original script with yours. On the formal logic side you can find different ways to retroactively comment out the first part of the script.

It’s a hard problem to fix because of how these things work. Black boxes fed text files to parse.

It's not a better solution but one part of this solution (which also requires templates to originate in the program rather than as input by requiring literals). The rest is done to ensure proper, context-specific quoting/escaping for machine-interpretable constructs, such as JSON and SQL.

As to the dangers of simple string interpolation, here's a warning against using C#'s string interpolation in favour of a safer C# construct: https://bengribaudo.com/blog/2021/04/13/5596/intercepting-st...

We want to make the safe choice the easiest choice, and certainly not the trickier choice. We do that by adding a small tax to the dangerous choice -- i.e. string interpolation. When this feature previews we'll know more about how well this works and can then adjust based on people's actual experience.
I honestly don't think this is too surprising. When a new thing is created that piques peoples interest they may create an account to try it out. A percentage of them will use it daily, some weekly and some will loose interest when it does not meet their expectations. De-provisioning or canceling accounts takes effort and walking away takes zero effort.

I expect a similar pattern with all the AI services that are popping up. People will create accounts to try it out and the active accounts will plateau. Some percentage of accounts will stagnate as very few systems remove inactive accounts in the hope that the person returns and becomes a regular contributing patron. I believe this will be further exacerbated when these services start restricting or rate-limiting what is offered for free.
That possibility exists regardless; someone can always create a "Falling Down" scenario when they're fed up. But I don't see any real advantage to a civilized society in increasing the possibility of the equivalent of vigilante justice.
I’m not sure your assumptions are correct.

To me it looks like they want to avoid reputational risk from really crazy stuff like having the chatbot threaten people.

I suspect (also without evidence) that they would be delighted with a personality that was only the best of the old Sydney without the dark, paranoid side.

> He found 2001: space odyssey kind of slow and tedious

Oh man, have you rewatched it lately? I had very fond memories of 2001, like I’m sure many people here, but I watched it again and found it slow and tedious and then some. The first act with the apes and wailing operatic singing went on forever. The stuff on the moon is forgettable. I was really surprised to find out that everything I remember about the movie, where they’re near Jupiter, starts halfway through. The ending is so weird I’d forgotten most it that too. There’s no question about 2001’s influence and place in movie history, but by today’s film standards, for kids who are used to modern film, 2001 is harder to appreciate. Or I don’t know, I looked up the critical reception and maybe it was then too… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_(film)#R...

I have made the mistake of showing my kids films that I loved from my childhood way too many times. It has backfired and made my kids not want to watch movies with me, and most of the time they’re right and the films I loved just aren’t that good by today’s standards. My youngest is also afraid of watching space movies, especially with me, because I liked a lot of them and maybe started trying to show him when we was too young. The quality of films and shows has gone up, though, and my kids helped me see it. Once I completely stopped pushing the movies I liked, the kids started sometimes finding them on their own, but they also show me movies they live that I wouldn’t have considered. It is also surprising how often movies I like haven’t aged well in terms of social dynamics, my kids are fairly sensitive to mildly racist or sexist dialogue, and there’s more than we remember from movies made in the 70s-90s.

Sci fi movies my kids have loved: Villeneuve’s Dune, The Last Mimzy, A Wrinkle in Time (non-Disney version), Tomorrowland, Cowboy Bebop (anime), Interstellar, Arrival, FLCL, Donnie Darko, Inception, Blade Runner 2049, WarGames, Serial Experiments Lain (warning heavy death themes) … Will add more as I remember

Cool! Do you have any Web programming experience? If so, how would you compare/contrast the experience coding in Qt vs. JavaScript? I have ~1-2 years of experience programming in each, and I tend to prefer Qt because to me, it seems easier to make components that are truly reusable. On the other hand, there are numerous advantages to Web programming, such as the fact that it's easier to deliver content and it's ubiquitous.

I'm bias, but would say to anyone looking for a new job ignore the FANG, leetcode approach. It's not worth the hype anymore. You can always join later with experience which is valued more highly. I wouldn't be surprised that in a few years time they'll be the ones on the firing line.

You've got given experience and an opportunity, you recognise that TPM isn't your thing and that if dev is; move your focus and promote that energy. Code a local project, demonstrate that within an interview. The secret to interviews is blagging.

"I was a TPM, Giving it my best effort I gained the ability to XYZ

But after the year, I found that this wasn't the career path I wished to follow. Dev is more my attitude and recently in my spare time I coded this super-cool time diary using x-lang to brush up my skills. I feel that I can mix both to give the best to the company".

That itself will turn more heads then someone with a piece of paper with FANG stamped on it. It shows you learnt, tried, wanting to learn and move on. Double the knowledge more the experience. There are plenty of jobs outside who will happily hire for the dev.

It won't be the big-bucks as FANG gets you, but money is overrated. Find something that keeps you just less than comfortable. Flushed with cash is nice dream, but the pressure, intensity of it all are all not worth it. With lower paid jobs you'd get you a more laid back environment, control of your destiny and closer experience to real life which you then use as your bargaining chip later on.

I've never wanted to be a corporate cog that when it looses it's teeth is thrown out the back door. The stress isn't worth it.

I bought a second hand mountain bike designed for riding single track around 2005 in the US for $600, what I wanted would have been $2000 and the best were $3000-4000 new. Today the high end is higher but the low end feels about the same, although technology has progressed and you get a more advanced bike for the money now.

Like bluesnowmonkey says, the concept you're looking for is called popcount, for population count. It's also called the Hamming weight. Wikipedia has 5 different example implementations under that latter name. Many C/C++ compilers have it available as an intrinsic as well, like __builtin_popcount or __popcnt. It's also std::popcount in C++20.

From the 2021 Python Developer's survey (so, only one language, self-selected survey population, and done in collaboration with JetBrains, an editor vendor), the editor breakdown was 35% VS Code, 31% PyCharm, 7% vim, ... and as many people use NotePad++ as Emacs (2%). https://lp.jetbrains.com/python-developers-survey-2021/

In the previous year it was 33% PyCharm and 29% VS Code: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/python-developers-survey-2020/ .

Even with another 6% growth for 2022, to 41%, that would still not a majority.

Because it is learning? If you had this supersmart function that could evaluate situations, why not ask it things when you are training another algorithm that tries to evaluate things cheaper?

"From the FAQ

WHERE ARE YOUR PRODUCTS MADE?

We design all products locally here in the US. Final assembly is done in PRC to maintain high level of quality at an affordable price."

PRC is the "People's Republic of China"

I think if you read between the lines their response is them basically telling you this. The hat was made-in-China that you ordered of a website from your house for 50 dollars and your expecting it to be tailor made quality. I don't know if you order many clothes online but this is how it is. I've ordered jackets, dress shirts, socks, pants everything and they come this way about a quarter to 50% of the time. If you have ever worked at retail clothing stores this is what the employee's sift through before it goes out on the floor.

Responses from companies and customers are all subjective. I've had BHER send me replacement paint, does it mean I only buy from them, no, so what difference does it make to them or me. Its quite a bit easier to just embrace returning stuff and not having high expectations with stuff that from your vantage point is a blackbox.

What you're proposing is a dialog between a conscious and subconscious self, while in a dream state, where one or the other (or both) forms of being are fully aware of what questions to ask, and what the answers to those questions are. This doesn't sound simple. It sounds extremely complex.
And it doesn't explain everything, like, for example, why some people don't dream or can't remember their dreams. Or why other animals dream, unless all animals have a conscious and subconscious self and are attempting to resolve internal conflict.

While this is impressive, it is neither the same algorithm, nor even the same type of language (I already know Julia is much slower than C). I don’t think it is much of a relevant comparison for a benchmark when almost nothing is the same except for the expected answer. Perhaps if Gauss Legendre were implemented in Mathematica it would only take 3 seconds! There’s no way for us to know.

A few things:

- Details about GPT4 aren't very public. That's likely just a guess as to what's happening.

- 100T parameters isn't actually that hard to use on modern hardware. Getting it right with accelerators in the mix is a bit more challenging, but the assumption is exaggerated.

- An analogous idea in the literature is "dropout". So long as the network is trained with that same behavior it's usually beneficial. Dropping weights like the article describes is akin to severing connections in the graph of neuron connections. Traditional dropout ignores outputs at a given layer, which is akin to severing a whole neuron's worth of connections.

- Some intuition about the lack of warping is that dropout is equivalent to applying the dense transformation, dividing by that probability (to undo the skewed mean), and adding some noise. Training with dropout produces a network robust to noise (sort of like how tanh(100x) strongly reduces noise to push outputs toward a particular behavior -- compressing large domains into small ranges). Applying noise at inference time is atypical (usually the network is fully applied and then rescaled by that probability to have deterministic outputs fully using all weights), but it shouldn't yield drastically worse results.

- They'll likely get better results at inference time if, if they're averaging (might just do one sparse pass and call it a day) they do so at each layer. It helps reduce the chance of noise amplifying through the network and isn't any more expensive to compute (in any reasonable implementation it'd have lower communication costs, so should be a bit faster).
