I've been thinking for a while about writing another network on top of IP with decentralized DNS (dealing with domain names similarly to how SSH deals with public keys), make it open-source, free, with a one-click installer, and strictly prohibit any commercial activity on it (no ads, no acting on behalf of a company) or at least make commercial activities selectively opt-in for the end user. The same could be done for bots. Some of the technical aspect are already solved by others but the problem is that such a project would need some larger organizational support with lawyers in order to make the EULA enforceable.

In other words, it's more of a social than a technical issue.

> My meandering point is that: everyone has different life situations

Yes, so it's not about preferences, it's not about the pros and cons, it's about not forcing people for needless suffering. Forcing people who want or need (professionally or personally) to work with other people at home is absurd, and forcing people who provide better work at home (for jobs were it makes no difference to be in office) to commute and work in an open space just to reassure bosses is as absurd.
This is Brave's official response on the affiliate link matter:

So they did intend to put affiliate links into suggestions, and the bug was that it was accidentally applied to autocomplete in the URL bar based on the first suggestion.

I think the original intention was shady enough. It's good that they changed direction on this, but the damage on their reputation is well justified in my opinion.

"these models very clearly learn not just patterns of words, but patterns of ideas, and ideas about ideas"

This is not at all clear to me.

Tamps down on? That's not true. Either one or the other is active? They're both continuously active.

Relaxing would free it? No, that's not true. When you relax a nervous system it becomes more effectively active, because the signals are more coherent. Yeah, more anxious? No.

Hahaha! Distracting and disorienting? Hahah! Medical and scientific? You mean like you're doing? You're the one misappropriating meanings here.

Internal experience of the world? Or their internal experience of a textbook, that you've misinterpreted anyway? Well look, internal experience is what you have to rely on. Otherwise you end up with these sort of uh, twisted textbook definitions where you don't have the experience.

You need to have the experience first. Only then will you know the meaning of those words. That’s why yoga is so important: it gives you more experience—of who you are, of your body, of how it works.

Perception and experiment? Very clever, haha :) Well look, I see you're trying to make a point. I see you're trying to contribute. But the problem is here, you just don't know. You don't have the experience to know what these words really mean in this context. And so, you know, you're not useful here. I'm sorry. Your contribution is not useful anyway.

Maybe you have a bad experience with yoga or a teacher or something. In the past, I don't know. It's possible. A girlfriend left for someone she met in the class or you felt like the class humiliated you. Look, it can happen. You can have bad teachers or bad classes. I feel sorry for you if that's the case. But you just don't know in this context. So, I encourage you to give it another shot. Give yoga another shot and give it a try. I got super lucky. I had a great teacher. So, I encourage you to try to find a really great teacher. Best of luck to you.
Anyone who follows this blog — it is frequently linked to from this place — would be able to understand the code words and time frame to figure out which company this refers to. It’s a small world and it’s not difficult to guess which piece of tech, which team, and which engineers and managers were involved as well.

The story is a good one but, like all gossip, it’s a guilty pleasure. When someone spreads gossip about a third party then you can assume they do it about you as well. It is toxic and the opposite of building trust.

If the engineers referred to in the story were asked for comment or OK’d the post (not that they have to) then I’m completely off base with everything I just said.

That did spark a thought: They are set up for "producing, selling and servicing" X vehicles a year, but the market shrunk and the best they can hope for now is a 1/100 of X... Thus, they don't need as many people. Or in other words "downsizing to match the reality".

It’s a bad take for several reasons.

- It’s reductive. The model may be architecturally relatively simple, at least insofar as humans are involved, but the data that was used train it is anything but. Code is data, data is code. The model is more than its architecture. It’s all the weights and biases within.

- It’s qualitatively wrong. The temperature settings change it from a predictive system (auto complete) to a generative one (digital assistant).

- It’s quantitatively ignorant. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. For that matter, how do you speak if not one word at a time? It happens that the model generates one token at a time as well, but the million dollar question remains: what chain of reasoning did it have to follow to come up with that token? Just because it‘s only outputting a single token doesn’t mean it’s not “thinking” about the structure of the sentence, paragraph, or the entire document - several tokens ahead, to say the least. Indeed, having been trained on a such a large internet corpus it has the capacity to model entire personalities and all the quirks and neuroses that go on behind the scenes.

So, yes, it is a bad take. That being said, it’s still a useful one because it encourages people to think about the models as tools, which is exactly correct given how they’re structured. So I still describe them as such.
> Incorrect. It’s totally fine to not get along with other people—and certainly to not want to share a democratic polity with them—based on cultural differences.

I like how Republicans act as master and judge and issue the judgement "incorrect" and go on to adopt a blatantly racist stance under the currently fashionable republican sound bite of "unacceptable cultural differences", while immediately switching to the directly opposite sound bite "diversity of ideas" without flinching. Republicans have a reputation for being racist for very good reasons.

Probable network behaviour. The other team members are part of a “network” and their goal is to 1) get non network members to do the work and then 2) get rid of them and 3) take over more projects, expand hold on the org.

Crafty!
Some languages support early return(break) and labeled return (continue) in lambdas. Although good languages have lazy iterators or optimizing compilers. One would use iterator.takeWhile(x => x is not m) in your case, or filter, and skip in other cases. Better languages even allow you to yield return and write your own lazy iterator transformations.

Not quite.

Passkeys are WebAuthn "discoverable credentials", meaning they contain a user identifier as well as a private key for signing.

When a site fully supports passkeys, you are able to sign in to your account without having to enter a username, just by using your site-specific passkey (e.g. https://www.passkeys.io).

GitHub's current implementation is based on pre-passkey WebAuthn that allows you to add a non-discoverable credential as 2nd factor. To sign in, you still need to enter your username, your password, and then get prompted for your WebAuthn credential, which can be stored on a physical security key, but also on your devices via the platform authenticator capability (Windows Hello, Touch ID, ...).

So, while GitHub's current 2nd-factor WebAuthn implementation (as awesome as it is) is not "passkey", I'm sure they will be among the first bigger websites to launch full passkey capabilities on their login page pretty soon.

You had the perils of writing C for GEOS? Having to lock a block of memory before using it and then unlocking it when you've done.

Looking back, my big regret was not trying harder to get C++ working. Having the compiler automatically insert unlock calls via a destructor function would have saved me a lot of time and screaming "Why are you still locked?" at the screen.

Based on my reading of the docs the API gives you a static screenshot of the old DOM and the live new DOM. So if you have any dynamic content on the page it freezes during the transition.

> not being alone in a room for most of the day

I think differences in people's personal lives silently drive this conversation.

I've worked remote before covid (better part of a decade now). I've never felt alone .. but I'm married. So I spend my remote work time with my wife instead of being apart from her in an office. That drives my love of remote work. But someone without that may frame it as "being alone all day."

> Anywhere you need text written, it can generate something.

Part of me is hopeful that this will have the effect of people recognizing that maybe
a) The text didn't need to be written after all, or
b) The bullet point you started out with, were enough after all.

There is too much content being produced out of a notion of "something has to be here" for layout reasons, or because its simply what somebody expects.

Probably, ubiquitous use of generative text model will worsen the signal-to-noise ratio we see in media today.

It's not spaghetti, it forces you to think about how the various layers are going to integrate, with a real-world testcase before you've written so much code that making corrections necessary to fix any abstraction errors you have made is painful.

> because it claims to not need build systems

Zig has a build system, but it's integrated into the compiler and stdlib (e.g. there's usually a 'build.zig' file in the project root which is regular Zig code using 'build system' modules from stdlib, this build.zig is then transparently compiled and run to 'perform the build').

(it's interesting that nothing of this is so special to Zig that other compilers - even C compilers - couldn't use the same approach)

Pro: Quick feedback cycle, particularly with how the new software fits the requirements. Some would call it agile.

Con: Early design decisions are the hardest to change. For example, retro-fitting security (or parallelism) onto a system that was not designed with it in mind is a fool's errand.

To Protect Wildlife from Artificial Light, Look to the Moon
At some point most covid-related conversations departed the realm of logic and turned into a sort of religious/political war, which also caused a bunch of people say things they didn't believe or care about just to score some points for themselves.

My "favorite" one was that if, in 2020, you for one second doubted that it was some mysterious bats, some people automatically labelled you as a conspiracy theorist and possibly racist. I think those people behaved that way not because of logic but because of hysteria or some other motives of their own. Now the lab leak theory is often described as a likely candidate (to me as a layperson it was the most likely explanation from day one when i read about gain of function research), it's a mainstream point of view published by Bloomberg and for some reason no longer considered tinfoil or racist, probably because you can't score too many political points bashing it anymore.

Similarly, some people made a point to violate or otherwise shit on every single covid precaution not because of some firm scientific beliefs but just to piss people off and potentially score some PR points. That doesn't make me love the lockdowns, but there was plenty of sad behavior all around.
LLaMA-13B 4bit needs only 18GB of VRAM for GPT-3 175B level text generation. But your point stands.

LLaMA-65B 4bit needs 36 GB of VRAM, but far exceeds GPT-3's capabilities and even takes on PaLM 540B.

The inevitable result of three things:

1. an absurdly car-friendly society that prioritizes cars well above everyone else - basically, parents have to pick up their children in cars because there is no reasonable pedestrian infrastructure to allow them a safe walking home.

2. a truckload of busybodies ("Karens") that call CPS on children wandering alone - Utah had to pass a law in 2018 [1] to cut down on that crap and other US states are following suit. Unfortunately, in states without that explicit carve-out, schools can be cited for neglect as well.

3. US healthcare being absolutely rotten to the core, which means that should a child get injured on the way from the school home, their health insurance will try to pass the bucket down to somewhere else, and the first obvious thing is to attempt to sue the school because they were the last ones in custody of the child. As a result, schools introduce such policies because the second the child is in custody of the parent, the school is no longer liable for anything and the insurance can go and stuff its claims.

1. My day job involves a lot of learning. (Learning DevOps, embedded Rust)

2. I write open source software in my spare time. (Learning WebAssembly, reactive programming)

3. I learned and mastered a functional language, learn DSLs and make compilers for them.

I'm allowed to work professionally on stuff that's new to me and my employer.

The interplay with "getting stuff done" at work and "perfecting the craft" in my spare time is an attempt to strike a balance: Think about the design, leave things nicer, but don't spend forever.

Learning and mastering a functional language makes you think of programming patterns. Studying the programming patterns of well-made open source Haskell and Rust libraries has had a big impact on my learning.
But what we do is not the same as medicine, which is highly regulated and has implications for life and death. Nothing stops us from learning any new technical thing we care to.
Allegations of Scientific Misconduct Mount as Physicist Makes His Biggest Claim
Here is an example of ChatGPT being confidently wrong in something domain specific that I know about. Here's what I asked:

"I'm playing Old School Runescape. I want to efficiently level up my Mining. I'm currently level 90 and I want to do a tick-manipulating method. Something like 3t4g. I don't understand when to click and what I need. Can you explain the method?"

Here's the method it replied minus kruft at the start and end:
"
1. Equip your pickaxe and head to the location where you want to mine.

2. Find a 3x3 square of rocks that you want to mine. The square should be in a straight line in front of you, with the rock you want to mine in the middle.

3. Stand in the square so that your character is in the middle of the square, facing the rock you want to mine.

4. Start mining the rock as normal.

5. As soon as you see the animation of your pickaxe hitting the rock, immediately right-click on the rock and select "Prospect". This will cancel the animation of your pickaxe hitting the rock and allow you to perform another action.

6. As soon as you see the prospect animation start, immediately right-click on the rock and select "Mine". This will cancel the prospect animation and allow you to perform another action.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as quickly as possible.

8. Every fourth action, switch to a different rock in the 3x3 square.
"

This is total nonsense. Not only is this not 3t4g but the actions it says don't work like that in the game. Obviously it's not understanding anything and it's forming sentences that sound natural in the context of the question. OSRS has one of the best most complete wikis of any game. To me this is an example of being very cautious of trusting what it says when you ask it about something you don't know about.
