At least for me, “The Regulators” sounds like a bunch of guys in dark suits with stacks of records and regulations. “Pursuant to 17 USC § 501, we’re going to break your kneecaps”

The coolest possible use of a regulator is maybe scuba diving?
> The process outlined in the study — known scientifically as eutrophication — is remarkably similar to modern, albeit smaller-scale, phenomenon currently fueling broad “dead zones” in the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, as excess nutrients from fertilizers and other agricultural runoff trigger massive algae blooms that consume all of the water’s oxygen.

Meanwhile, the next COP28 (United Nations Climate Change conference) will be held by United Arab Emirates's minister for industry and CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. As much as this seems like a joke, or a "Don't look up" moment, it is not one ...
Teach them how to write their own.

Don't teach your kid how to use a computer program, teach them how to write one.

You can easily build a toy language model yourself, it will give your kid a massive head start and help structure their mental models for life so they don't view this as 'magic' like so many other people do.
In this thread: majority of commenters pointing out this was well known.

And one crank.
Thanks, we were aiming to make a desktop-grade UI in the browser and it's nice to hear feedback like that!

The UI was separately developed with JavaScript, it wasn't made in Construct itself (which is mostly canvas-based). The whole runtime is also in-house - we don't use PixiJS or any other libraries, once again it's all our own in-house engine, custom WebGL/WebGPU renderer, etc.

Constant pushing of boundaries is exactly what the Russians do: first they annex Crimea (no or very limited response from the West), then they separate Donbas (no response from the West), then they finally attack Ukraine proper. Should the West have watched this with arms folded in your opinion?

We are very far from average Joe being sent to the Russian front. Partly because there is a professional army that will be involved before that, but more likely it will not, in order to avoid nuclear conflict. I think you should worry more about that than the general population being sent to Ukraine.

Flash really got me hooked as a kid. It was easy enough to get started and had enough depth with their scripting language that got me to start to learn programming.

I still remember the demo flash animation to this day.

I wish more web products enabled a one kid show to get something done that wows adults.

Web dev today is a messy onion of poor abstractions that you need to know too much to get a little done.
While we are at it, a small shout-out to PDF X-Change Viewer/Editor. Best part for me is that it works on Linux (via Wine) and Windows.
my money is litteraly where my mouth is. where i also pay my taxes. you on the other hand told me my place is in russia. no its not. its in my homeland which i love. and no i dont see a contradiction between pointing out the hypocricy of my government and wanting to live where i live. on the contrary i voice my opinions because i belive that the people who live where i live deserve better. and i do for the reccord believe that the involvement of my government in the wars led by the US for the past three decades were a crime. it is because of these crimes that we have fed the likes of people like putin to become popular
I am skeptical that blanket decentralization works without some central framework to maintain it. Otherwise power still accumulates and without some enforcement of openness and a collective discussion - corruption also grows perfectly fine without government involved. See decentralized crypto industry as a microcosm.

I would say that government and a healthy protest of government as the French are exercising is one way to check the over accumulation of oppressive power.
I went hybrid a long time ago and haven't looked back since, though YMMV - I develop B&W film in Paterson tanks and a light proof changing bag, reducing my darkroom setup time to seconds.

I then scan the negatives. Once every blue moon I dust off the enlarger and make prints - but inbetween those sessions, I am happy to be digital.
Unfortunately, any product designed to be a drop-in replacement for sugar in a baking recipe needs to contain a bulking agent like maltodextrin. It makes the product take up the same volume as sugar, so that you don't need to adjust the ratios of all the other ingredients.

A recipe rewritten to use stevia in the first place won't require such hacks for backward compatibility, but there aren't many of them compared to all the legacy stuff out there.
I use it in a home-lab setup with my personal development and local deployment machines (mostly raspberry pis and a qnap) plus few EC2 instance as a part of the mesh along with my laptop and gaming PC.

Tailscale makes the ec2 instances feel just as local as the LAN machines. I love having easy SSH connectivity to my laptop and EC2s from my windows machine. There's no tunneling or bastioning or key management or any of that nonsense. And without extra network hops (nodes direct-connect whenever possible) I don't have extra nodes in the route to steal bandwidth time or cost.

But maybe small-scale isn't what you're after : I haven't done the work to figure out the at-scale bootstrapping process (I still install the systemd or whatever units and google auth each machine manually).
In what way is it not a "Don't Look Up" moment? It absolutely resonates with the theme of that documentary.

Doesn't make immediate sense to me, if using brains as computers you wouldn't want to occupy them with the Matrix simulation and the whole story falls apart, so how was the complicated plot ought to be? Use the brains with the Matrix how we are used already for solving captchas?
Yes.

... hooks were a revelation. They really did make it easy to encapsulate behavior and reuse stateful logic.

but

... anything that checks referential equality before running side effects — useEffect and its siblings — will get triggered too often.

and

... callbacks that persist between renders — because of useCallback, asynchronous operations, timeouts, etc — will access stale data.

and the answer is

... pretty kludgy! We’re now tracking the count in two different places, and our increment function has to update them both

so

... Hooks gave us a much better primitive for composing stateful logic, but it came at a cost.

The cost of your application being correct. It's fine if you're writing the kind of apps that you don't need React for (99% of them) but if you're working on apps that really need React it's awful.

On paper immutability is a good idea but it means you have different versions of the component being managed by the React, so now your app is like this guy

(At least if you use redux you can put all the insanity in one place and time travel over it)

What they call "signals" are a real improvement except somehow nobody told people that the word "signal" is used for one of the great mistakes of POSIX

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(IPC)

(see the part about "Risks" to see why they were a mistake). Use a word for an edge-triggered mechanism to describe a level-triggered mechanism is frighteningly like the kind of thinking that led to (i) react hooks and (ii) people thinking react hooks are acceptable so I am still a little terrified... But hey, I wrote a very complex knowledge graph editor in GWT (same async communication as Javascript) before many of you were in elementary school.
In the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their product?
It just doesn't make sense to only use LCOE for weather and season dependent sources of energy, of course you need storage if you don't want to burn gas/coal during Dunkelflaute. Just look at German grid and what's happening right now (614 gCO₂eq/kWh, mostly gas and coal). Meanwhile France is at 92g. Are you really proposing countries like Poland decarbonise like Germany instead of following France's example? Interconnected or not, you do need cheap and dependable energy and the only clean source of that is nuclear. Hydrogen is just a greenwashed natural gas. And 500MW in 3 years is quite far from being meaningful.
It's in some cases not even a choice. ISP service in the US is to my understanding also tied up in regional availability (it's less of an issue in Europe since afaict infrastructure is just... better in Europe, but even in Europe you have regions where the choices are between shit and slightly worse smelling shit; hence why net neutrality still matters here), and many of the more rural areas just have a single provider so your only choice to change ISP is to... move location. Which is frankly absurd.

The result is that said provider is basically running a regional monopoly, but this doesn't get regulated against because the total ISP market isn't monopolized.
Indeed, and I regularly watch other people give up on websites when they perform poorly.

And this isn’t just about 100 ms here or there. The frequency with which clicking a button takes seconds to have any observable effect is quite high. Coupled with modern UI trends where interactive elements aren’t clearly distinguished, sometimes users can’t tell a laggy button from a not-a-button.

I suspect a massive UX study bias here. Are people looking at telemetry to try to see whether users who completed some flow are happy? Those users (a) completed the flow, so they didn’t give up and (b) are likely enriched in those users who would use your site no matter what. The marginal users of poorly-functioning websites aren’t in the data set!
other perspective - in the long run, intel can't afford to axe the gpu division, because there's so much potential in that space where x86 and its new generations is increasingly getting bigger competition from arm based designs.

Intel basically has to get gpus right, eventually. AMD is already doing it. Apple is already doing it, for their purposes. Intel has to catch up.
why is useEffect hook in particular that bad?

I played with Vue and svelte and now a firm React user, mainly due to its ecosystem, for most products the slowness of React does not play a major role at all for me.
Indeed.

NMEA2000 is essentially a Marine Electronics version of CANBUS with their own agreed upon PGNs.

NMEA0183 is pretty close to RS-232 (and/or RS-422), usually at 4800 baud, but there's a "High Speed" variant at 38,400 baud.
I am well aware of the AI doomer argument, but you appear to assume that argumentation can be trusted just because it is convincing*. I believe you are not factoring in the possibility of epistemological error.

*for what it's worth I do not find it convincing but I am arguing "even if I found it convincing, I wouldn't believe it"

You're forgetting that a lot of people that use those highways want to live outside the city and don't want to be crammed into the city.

I love it in the city, can't imagine living where you literally cannot walk anywhere - but most of those people out there like it or they wouldn't be out there.

So, no, the people maintaining those highways aren't doing nothing. Maybe they're doing nothing for you. Maybe you can argue you're subsidizing other people's lives. But you can't say that people maintaining highways are doing nothing or are net negative.

Yes we are a software service company selling that convenience.
The code isn't "secret" but is definitely non-trivial to build and maintain.

My fear would rather be that a close-source competitor grabs our meeting bot, and builds on top, rather than using our service as an API.

If we were to open-source the software, we'd probably also offer it as an API for AI meeting companies.
The biggest conspiracy theory is that the government cares about you, or is responsive to public opinion. There is no evidence supporting this outlandish theory.
I know every field has its jargon, but as I see it for “training” the training data is a program. The training process lexes that program, tokenizes it, and then compiles that parsed data. Finally it links it with other compiled programs to build a large model.
We think with much more than just our brain. For example, there are neurons at the stomach level and your gut bacteria determines part of your mood. You could make a case that the whole body is required to capture the human experience.

It’s amazing what drinking regular coke is like after being off sugar for awhile. I swear the mouth-feel of drinking the syrup they make it with is there.
I don't know about this fork specifically, but in general yes absolutely.

Even without enough ram, you can stream model weights from disk and run at [size of model/disk read speed] seconds per token.

I'm doing that on a small GPU with this code, but it should be easy to get this working with the CPU as compute instead (and at least with my disk/CPU, I'm not even sure that it would run even slower, I think disk read would probably still be the bottleneck)

A lack of an absurd number of CPUs just means it's slow, not impossible.

Actually, that's just how the OpenAI chat endpoint works. Basically you can give the AI "system", "user" and "assistant" messages. You first pass some "system" messages to instruct the AI on how to behave. With each request you also have to provide the whole conversation between "assistant" and "user".
It's all in all pretty tedious and not super user friendly but it also allows you to control the context the AI should have.
mv uses rename(). No issue with the target file existing beforehand. No issue with symlinks going stale, because they link to the name not the inode. Hard links will preserve the old file and still refer to that though (which is sometimes what you want, sometimes not). But for most, symlinks are far more common.

$ echo "File 1" > file1
$ echo "File 2" > file2
$ ln -s file2 file3
$ cat file3
File 2
$ echo "File 4" > file4
$ mv file4 file2
$ cat file3
File 4
This won't work, because this space is already saturated: people use snapchat for informal, quick comms / pictures, instagram as a photo album, twitter as random musings, etc.
> Being forgiving towards the user is one of the important principles of programming. Because the user may not be able to “upgrade” his system.

Yes. If there is one thing I wish I could drill into every programmer's head, it's that not breaking stuff for your users is the #1 most important thing. There is one of you, and there may be many thousands of users. You putting in the extra effort means saving thousands of times of effort from your downstream users. Sometimes breakage unavoidable, but those instances should be rare, extremely well communicated, and felt as a failure to be learned from and avoided in the future. I don't care how ugly it makes things for you, your users are paramount.
I'll chime in with a suggestion. On average for every dollar of research money that goes to these institutions, another ~$0.70 is given to the bureaucracy to spend as it sees fit. The federal government could cap these rates at 40-50% down from 70% without a significant impact to research, since the research effort, including researcher salaries, are already paid from the direct funds. The bureaucracy will argue that it needs that extra money to keep the lights on, but in practice you see that the middle management tier of universities has expanded as a much higher rate than the research effort, suggesting it is relatively flush with cash compared to the boots on the ground types.

I'm Stuck in a Waterfall
it looks like an interesting concept, I would love to try it !

I work on B2B SaaS applications for medium/large industrial company and I don't think open source would improve your security posture for this type of client. IT departments have to evaluate vendors against a set of criteria and you pass or fail. if they are worried about the confidentiality of their data, then another approach would be to let them run your chatbot in their own cloud environment (or on premises).

this approach is appealing for a lot of companies. for instance, just looking at Azure, if you make your application part of the MS Transact program, then the client would simply pay their monthly/annual azure subscription and your license would just be a line item on it. this may seem pointless but large corp tend to negotiate deals with cloud providers and negotiate a better deal provide they spend a certain amount per year. if your solution helps them achieve this amount, it's very appealing

Beyond that, you can work on complying with SOCII or other programs
I really only shoot B&W so its still pretty cheap. There are also relatively inexpensive C41 color negative films. Slide/Chrome films on the other hand are all expensive. As for convenience, sure, there are no more drive through 1hr photomats, but the entire reason I went back to film is to immerse myself in the process, so I develop everything at home. I print B&W at home, and I scan at home (with a Pentax K-1ii mounted on a copy rig made froma Sinar P2). If you want snapshot, digital is certainly better in most ways, but if you want to understand and participate in a fascinating optical and chemical process, film is quite amazing.

You don't need 256 GB. A pair of the new 48GB DDR5 will work along with a pair of 32GB sticks should work in a consumer DDR5 MB to fit the weights. It does burst when initially loading.

An interesting game that Nintendo made early on in their mobile saga was Dragalia Lost [1], which was probably the most generous 'gatcha' [2] mobile game ever released.

It was so player-friendly, that it underperformed for much of it's 4 years, and ultimately shut down in November 2022.

It was unfortunate that mobile gaming is in the state that its in, but Nintendo had some good ideas in the mobile space.

Yeah, I find this area fascinating. Like, it's very cool to run a 7B params model locally, but it must feel like a toy when compared to ChatGPT, for example.

However, the 65B parameter, according to the benchmarks, is such a beast that you might be able to do some things on it that are not possible on ChatGPT (despite all of ChatGPT's quality of life features). Amazing times.

For me, 'regulators' sounds like a bunch of guys who regulate any stealing of his property. They're damn good too. Can't be any geek off the streets.

The reason is that they want software on their hardware to be faster and they don’t care if it makes competitors faster . They still have sales in the data center regardless.

A lot of people go through this but it gets old after a few years. Ideas are a dime a dozen and implementations are a dime a dozen, too. It takes more to grow one of these ideas to satisfactory size. The nature of the 'more' changes through the years and can definitely be gamed with money
