Maybe another way to think of it is that the error correction part of image generation models is offloaded to the human visual cortex which is a very old evolutionary construct and thus had time to become very resilient? In case of text generation, maybe the error tolerance of the human brain is less developed as human-level language is a newer evolutionary invention.

It'd be interesting if the parameter/complexity requirements are actually similar once you examine the system as a whole, meaning machine _and_ human brain.

What if I want a spreadsheet in my word doc?
Im pretty sure this can also be an engineered trade for smart money.

I imagine it like this:

1. Place some money in bank.

2. Wait till bank bought bonds, treasuries and all that jazz.

3. Short the banks stock.

4. Withdraw huge amounts of money and cause liquidity crunch.

5. As the bank needs to keep its capital ratio above 5%, it will close positions at a loss, causing a death spiral (the bank run. As more people want to secure what’s left, the bank needs to unwind more positions at a loss. Which will cause even more people wanting to withdraw, which results in even more selling of the bank.

6. Eventually the bank becomes insolvent.

7. Buy stock back.

There might be more variables to it, such as the price of the treasuries itself (you might want to wait for a rate hike, inflation, credit rating change or whatever before you make the bank sell), but generally this is how imagine such a trade.
The web is an application platform. It is really the remnants of its history as a document presentation platform that makes it add all these ultra high level declarative features that make up the bulk of the complexity of a browser. Ironically, these features, much more than scripting, also make up the bulk of the attack surface for browser exploits. Features like USB and VR are not the problem, you can just turn them off and everything still works, but one little change to CSS layouting can turn a web page into salad.
> new sub-internets with stricter, formalised, rules to reduce spam and noise.

I'm not sure more, better rule are going to stop a rule engine from participating. If anything, formalized rules merely makes it easier to train the machine learning system du jour to follow them.

My modest proposal is to go the other direction - fill the entire internet with garbage data so that the generative models trained on it become useless. Clearly there's nothing that could go wrong with this plan.
What I kinda want is a way to use a detachable hardware key like a Yubikey as a primary factor for SSH and login authentication. I have multiple computers and I provision new OSes frequently and I always find it irritating depending on either network or flash drive synchronization for secret material when I could just be plugging in a smartcard device.

Anyone gone down this path?

I don't believe the claim that non-fractional reserve banking would actually slow economic growth.

Is real economic growth even determined by anything but technological development?

Of course, the economy can be made to "grow" by some slight of hand, like having a high inflation rate while pretending that we don't. Or by depleting natural resources. But that's not the kind of growth we want.
Yes. "Our patients are dying left and right, I was able to pick up a new field of anesthesiology, I could've picked up doing x-rays" => "why didn't you?"

Totally understandable if he says "because I don't like backend", but if you're essentially doing busy work just to keep yourself from going insane while someone else is struggling managing their work, you might as well help them. You'll learn something new, they'll struggle less, and the project will be better off.
It seems possible to do agile, TDD, and/or refactoring all without this practice of “following a single use case from start to finish throughout the entire application”. That’s all this is, an evocative name for the suggestion that taking a single use case through the entire system from beginning to end, implementing just what’s necessary at each step, is a good way to program.

I think it has benefits but you also hit on the biggest risk, if you aren’t careful you’ll end up writing spaghetti code, except now your spaghetti is made of steel which is way harder to untangle.
I'd also assign undefined to 'age' to show that it's not erroring
Maybe I miss the point, but why wouldn’t the ones that easily find a job (or maybe even have a next job at hand) take the payout for extra money while the ones that desperately don’t do any work or are not performing would stay? Wouldn’t this result in the wrong outcome?
This feels different.

In the case of recommendation systems, the unconscious consumer is wholly unaware of the witchcraft occurring on the backend.

OpenAI's ChatGPT, Midjourney, HuggingFace, and their kin, are commoditising a technology that was historically resigned to hidden artefacts, whose input was limited to system calls, not user calls.
You mean it prompted you to go and get the contents of the page? Chatgpt does not access the internet when running. Bing chat does though.
Unsurprisingly, this is not at all what the article speaks to; it may well be true that, epistemically, some of the things you're worried about are going on. But just like this is not an article about whether trace BPA in the food supply has hormone regulation effects, or whether replacing your current car with an EV is carbon positive or negative, it's also not an article about what you just said it was about.

Rather, it introduces two basic concepts in how intelligence organizations qualify their intelligence gathering: (1) estimative language: a concept that maps numerical probabilities into specific language (e.g. in the UK, "highly likely" means 80-90%); (2) analytic confidence: a concept that speaks to the verifiability of an individual source or conclusion, typically based on the mode of intelligence gathering.

Having done this, it then suggests that most individual pieces of intelligence have low analytic confidence, but that depending on the opportunity cost (loss function) of (in)action, this may be sufficient to proceed; likewise agglomerations of low confidence intelligence may form a high confidence conclusion (as in an ensemble learner).

By way of examples, it discusses the following examples: (1) whether Russia was using T-62 tanks -> whether better sights would help night vision; (2) the DOE COVID WSJ reporting; (3) whether Iraq had WMD; (4) whether Germany sabotaged Nordstream; (5) whether Russia would invade Ukraine in 2022; (6) the NIE Havana Syndrome reporting. I assume the thing that made you write the fan fiction you wrote was #2.

Honestly, it's a 13 paragraph article and a link around the paywall was posted hours before you posted your thing, so maybe just read the article?
Eco-tourism is a type of sustainable tourism that involves exploring natural areas while minimizing the impact on the environment and supporting local communities. It is a responsible way of traveling that aims to preserve natural habitats, protect wildlife, and promote sustainable development.
Fair point, but - uno reverse card - maybe it will make tedious exposition so effortless and superfluous that nobody wants to do it anymore.

It might do to overlong text what border-radius did to rounded corners, and discourse will trend back to wit and concision over ceremony and formality. Businesses will value drafts - unpolished bullet points, like you describe - over finished pieces, because they’ll feed everything into standardized models fine-tuned by Brand Prompt Engineers to generate copy in the organization’s voice.
I think the point is that the C standard (or K&R, or both? I forget) repeatedly refers to "objects", and uses the word differently than we're used to in OOP

I can't argue with you on the recent Conservative track record, they're a pale shadow of the party they once were. The only thing that's saved them is that Labour under Corbyn was plainly, obviously such an utter catastrophe in the making the Cons couldn't help looking good.

There certainly was an aspect of that back in the 80s. In the early years Labour was lead by Michael Foot, basically a likeable version of Corbyn but just as unelectable. But then, the Labour Party back then was properly Marxist and had actually pushed forward a programme of nationalisation and unionisation that worked out about as well as you'd expect.

The most egregious example of waste was the coal industry, hence the strikes. The tax payer was subsidizing coal to the tune of £1.3 billion a year which was real money back then, just under 1% of total national GDP, not including the increased costs to power and steel industries that were prevented from using cheaper alternatives. When the mining union leader Arthur Scargill appeared before a Parliamentary committee and was asked at what level of loss it was acceptable to close a pit he answered “As far as I can see, the loss is without limits.” That's what we were dealing with. That's just coal, but swathes of industry had been nationalised and was a horrible rotting carcass of waste and losses dragging the country down. Reforming that lot was incredibly painful but it had to be done.

Maggie is generally portrayed as being incredibly unpopular, and the way she was lampooned by a generation of up coming British comics was cruel though frankly hilarious, but she won resounding election victory after victory. The economy she built transformed the country into the modern nation it is today. Notably when Blair and Brown brought in a Labour government in 1997 they changed essentially nothing substantive because her reforms palpably worked. All the proposed changes reverting Britain towards a statist socialist economic agenda were quietly shelved and never talked about agin until Corbyn came along.

Since then Conservatism on both sides of the pond has suffered an appalling moral and intellectual collapse. The conservative and republican parties are mocking parodies of their former selves. Back in the 80s there were serious, major economic and social problems that desperately needed fixing and economic liberalism had the answers. Nowadays that's just not even vaguely controversial, instead the focus of the right has shifted towards damaging reactionary dog whistle issues like culture wars and blind nationalism. That tendency has always been there, but now it's all they have.

I got an Epson ecotank and it really works nicely with third party inks
You bring up an interesting point. I have not seen this in flat or small companies as I have not worked in many. But I imagine that those surrounding the engineer will still feel that their expectations are no longer met if the engineer tries to return to normality from their superhero role. Though perhaps the colleagues might understand the full circumstances of the situation better in a tighter or less hierarchical team.

Ultimately, if someone has the engineer's back when they need to stop being the proverbial "Atlas who holds up the world", then maybe things could end better. But there are few managers that have the insight to notice it and grace to do something about it. The kind manager (or colleague) described in the article we are discussing is not common.

So whatever the circumstances, generally it does end badly if the engineer significantly over-commits to save the project.

> Firstly, the feature was off by default, so that those who wanted to support Brave could enable it.

From the same Brave response:

> We have already fixed the issue in Brave’s open source on GitHub and in the Brave Nightly, Beta, and Developer release channels, as well as in the Stable (1.9.80) release of our desktop browser that just went live, by changing the “Show Brave suggested sites in autocomplete suggestions” setting’s default to “off”.

So no, unless I read it wrong, it was not off by default.

> Then I guess Firefox providing Google search as default, without asking you is shady too? or Firefox installing a whole extension for Mr.Robot without asking its users was shady too? what about Pocket? Featuring articles from partners.

Yes, Firefox also did a lot of shady stuff. Also mistakes of Mozilla doesn't absolve Brave from their own mistakes.

Google search being the default in Firefox is blatantly obvious, they don't try to hide it. Compare it to the affiliate link suggestion screenshot:

https://brave.com/static-assets/images/optimized/referral-co...

Yeah, there is absolutely no indication that this is an affiliate link suggested by Brave. It was clearly meant to fly under the radar.

There might be no privacy concerns here, but I still think this is a bit shady.
Ask HN: Guidance on writing a source to source compiler (transpiler)
I would like to learn to write a transpiler from scratch. Where would I get started?

Preferably something that doesn't involve going though big projects to read the source code.
If you write tests first, you don't write a complete front to back "thread" first, right?

If you write tests first, you assume that the test is going to match how you're going to use the stuff in a real situation, which you generally don't know.

That would be because no one has any hope left for Google. There's no point in complaining or using their browser, they simply cannot be trusted.

All decent replies but, the truth is that it is mostly a quirk of transformer architecture which scales quadratically in the length of the sequence because transformers look at all pairwise combinations of the input tokens. So you can get the memory to whatever level you want to just increase the sequence length (also known as context):
i wonder if this is the accidental downside we have to pay for the incredible speed of information these days. not just information in the sense of journalistic report, but also information in the sense of acknowledging and processing transactions. the older i began the more i come to be wary of speed, just for the sake of it (i'm looking at all of you performance engineers). latency might as well be an extremely cheap security/life-sustaining feature (i'm looking at its reincarnation in cryptography/security as constant time algorithms).

I used to love in inter city north Melbourne for the cool life style. I moved to northern rivers area after 30 years of living in the city. I moved to a house about 1.5km for the beach. Over three years that went from “the closest I’ll ever live to the beach!” To “I can’t be bothered going to the beach, it’s a bit cloudy, not worth it!”. I now live 400m to the beach and go everyday. I’ve grown up a bit an realised that I may never live like this again!

We definitely are a costal nation. I love hearing the ocean roar as I go to sleep.
Many Thanks for your software. I used SumatraPDF heavily for 10+ years while I was on Windows. Used to shudder at Adobe Reader.
This is how I do TDD - first I build out the smallest possible thing (usually with code, sometimes with comments) then iterate / play around a little until I have the structure right. Then start putting tests in.

Then later in the cycle you have high-level structure so it's easier to start with the test.

We teach TDD and a lot of Software Engineering practises largely to beginners to make them productive for the maintenance of software - as that is about 95% of or work. So the flows that are stressed are those suitable to maturing/mature code not to completely new systems.
Sounds like a bug with the Nix package, it should be bundling SDL2 as a buildInput if Carp depends on it. I'd open a issue at nixos/nixpkgs.
As the other comment mentions, installing pkg-config and sdl2 alongside carp might work, but I suspect Nix is smart enough to properly isolate derivatives such that it wont.
Seeing "cobble stone" and "childhood", I thought it was about Counter Strike.

Set in a medieval castle, Cobblestone is one of the oldest Counter Strike map, dated back in CS Beta 6.5, and is also one of the most iconic map in Counter Strike, that not only this map spanned across the whole CS competitive scene, but that this map is also designed by David Johnston, who is otherwise more well-known for his work in de_dust2, the most iconic map in CS.
My company cannot afford to demand that we are in-office. We aren't super-rich and cannot afford planet-busting salaries. So to get people we have to cast a wide net. We get people in other cities. Part of our team is in India anyhow.

Overall it just doesn't make sense to have millions of people moving around twice a day who don't need to and this will take over. COVID made it much clearer but it's obvious anyhow.
Unsure what "massive concurrency means". As far as I'm aware zig offers no special primitives for threading (other than tools in a standard library to start/stop threads and such). Async/await/suspend/resume are features used for concurrency (yielding on a single thread).

You then use those primitives to implement parallelism however you want. Just like you'd do in C. Or, ykno, someone makes a library that does green threads the way you want using those primitives.
But sometimes it's saved elsewhere. Home office often increases energy usage in data centers through chat software, video conferencing etc. But it saves much more in energy otherwise wasted for commute.

Likewise, other computations in data centers might also save energy used somewhere else. Given all that servers do, 1% of electricity really doesn't seem much.

There’re those who want to establish the dictatorship of software developers because they think anyone not writing code is stupid and useless.
I think the official Zig website already does a good enough job at expressing what the the language has to offer, to the extent C devs can read a couple of pages and know whether or not they vibe with the language. The only thing it's missing is quoted praise from its users.

>Its clear from your post you don't have much experience with being around small kids for longer time.

Yep, that is literally what day care is for. This is how things have been done for decades. How are things all of a sudden any different - other than now the father is working from home and the mother can offload onto him and eat into his work time.

As with everything having kids requires sacrifices, meaning you lose your free time since you have to build and take care of your family, but then trying to now shift that on the employer is unreasonable.

>a lot of lonely

Again (not-so) subtle attack on my person. Of course I must be lonely (and probably a loser) since I prefer to have the perks of working in an office.

>Most of what you describe is just matter of a bit of discipline

Aaand there comes the dismissing.

>heck get it delivered home if you are so lazy

I would if I could. No place delivers before 10 or 11. However this is due to the city I live in. I am sure in bigger expensive city I could get coffee delivered at 6, but not here. Also since again I've made the sacrifice with pay I don't want to be paying 10€+ every morning to get coffee delivered, I could afford it, but I am not so well off that I wouldn't notice it in my finances.

>you don't want to clear snow to go to gym (which is TBH ridiculous if you think about it).

More dismissal. Yeah, you can think it is ridiculous, but I think having kids is ridiculous so that argument doesn't hold much weight.
It really was. Thanks for posting it
