Can you explain the utility of them over unions then? Asking sincerely.
Nope! But I’ve been around for a little bit. Welcome to the other side of the mirror, folks.
Do not specify this plan in such detail. If your role is management, you need to think in terms of objectives, clearly communicate those objectives, and allow the engineers space and autonomy to meet those objectives.

Try “we need to ship more frequently (with the end goal being CI/CD) because our releases cause problems all the time and it’s very expensive” or something along those lines. Ask the engineers on your team to determine an approach that works for them, run it by you (your job in this is to manage risk/timeline/cost, not get them to do it your specific way), and then do it.
Interesting! I wonder how big their read base is. Other commenters mentioned sales numbers around 2000, you must have made a far larger sale to compensate for the lower loyalty.

Not everything government run is automatically worse. For a private company that is seemingly immune to bad PR over repeated full data breaches, security and security by design are costs. There are many private firms that should have an army of IT sec-ops, but instead have zero or close to it.

Meanwhile, government IT tends to be the bottom of the barrel. Though, many government contracted sites are just fine.

Overall, the incentives are not quite aligned for security and a company that does not have to care.
Nah man, it’s just math! Whereas we have souls… or something.
This is correct, and without the hyphens it reads like a garden-path sentence[1], which is one with an ambiguous structure that normal readers tend to parse incorrectly.

No it just increases the hurdle rate for valuable investments. It just means that entrepreneurs have to prove that their ideas are worth more than the security of knowing your money is safe. Is that so bad??
For me, the problem is there isn't a lot of high-quality content centralized in one or two services I'd be willing to pay for like that. There's maybe one or two articles worth reading a year in a given pay-for service, and that's just not worth my money.

I'm certainly not going to subscribe to every service out there to get a variety of news, because it's cost prohibitive, and yet I'd like a variety, because high-quality content is so spread out. What I want, and what I suspect several others want, either isn't available or isn't easy to discover.

People should understand AI safety != AI ethics.
AI safety has two branches, AI ethics and AI alignment. Those two branches despise each other with intense passion.

The alignment branch (responsible for developing RLHF->ChatGPT) believes AI ethics is completely trivial, and distracts attention away from existential risks.

The ethics branch (responsible for all the media attention about racist AIs/bias etc) view alignment people as pie in the sky researchers whose results are irrelevant to society.

It seems increasingly that the concerns from the ethics branch have not come to pass at all. Stable diffusion does not default to creating black people (you have to insert black into the prompt), this has not caused mass social harm despite the tens of millions of users. Hence companies are unwilling to pay for these teams.

The other concerns, such as mass unemployment, or copyright of training material, are real, but they are better understood by economists, lawyers etc, rather than this awkward branch of AI ethics.
Yes, that’s true; I’m ok to use a proprietary thermostat if I think it will save me money in 2 years max. (I’m using Sensi wifi thermostats that will become non-programmable if they stop supporting their phone app. It’s ok, as they were around $40 each after incentives and I’ll save most of that just this heating season. Its interface to the boiler is just power, common, and call-for-heat.)

At least in a hydronic (air-to-water or gas-fired) application, an intelligent stat is not mandatory to get decent efficiency (from variable control). You still have building heat transfer rate and outdoor temp sensing available inside the unit even with just a contact closure.
YC's success is due to a combination of luck, skill, and yes, the most juiced bull market in a century. That last one is less of a factor than one might think though. Everyone has benefitted from easy money. So if were a primary factor then every early stage investor would have a 6% unicorn hit rate and that's clearly not true.

I'm not an insider and I don't personally know any of their principals. But I have followed their work and read what they write, and I am absolutely certain they are considerably above the mean when it comes to intellect and operational ability.

I also suspect they have benefitted to some greater or lesser extent that is unknown to me from connections in government. But like it or not thats part of how the game works, so if you want to be at the top of the game you have to play ball.

I don't buy it. The moral structure doesn't change so easily. Perhaps the establishment of an ethics team was a response to an incident, and was motivated as a public relations move in that moment? Just as ethics had not changed when the team was on-boarded, the ethics won't change with its exit.

You people are like broken records, honestly. Any criticism automatically becomes bigotry or hate or genocide or whatever. It's absurd.
How do you feel about maintenance programmers, doctors, and car mechanics?
Yes, but not very soon. So the thing is that counter.dev is optimised to handle many users for free. For example as the primary database Redis is used. But if you are actually paying for the server resources SQL is just fine. The service is optimised for efficiency and my concern would be that having some kind of "white label" self hosting one click solution would bring in too much complexity that would go against the aim of saving server resources in order to offer the service for free. Maybe I am wrong, but that is my current thinking.

That being said you can technically self host and I am happy to answer questions at hey@counter.dev . Is just that this solution is not designed to be self hosted and with another web analytics solution the self hosting experience could be more streamlined.

One thing that for me would actually make sense is having a conventional backend that plug and plays with the awesome counter.dev UI - then the "only" codebase change would be to whitelabel the UI. But yeah, that might not happen anytime soon.

By copy pasting selectively, pieces of the post by benton.io.
the entire "more data and pray" approach is how you's all end up with these problems. You want to see another stable diffusion generation failure, try asking Dalle or Craiyon for playing cards. In particular the back sides. Very similar to what you pointed out. Lots of repetition in the data sets, but non-exact repetitions. Different companies put different patterns and different stylistic choices on the same recognizable standard deck. The output the machine produces is frankly psychedelic.

Here's what you missed. The generation problems all happen under a certain length scale. Its things under a certain band of fine detail where the distortion happens. Normally you won't notice it, because normally there isn't anything but noise in that band anyway. Shove a SD generated image through a fourier transform to see what I mean.

And here's my very informed conjecture why it happens. The hint is right there in the name. Stable Diffusion. The generator network trains to de-noise images. The adversary adds Gaussian noise. That's a perfectly reasonable noise method, but it comes with its own spread and distribution in frequency space.

A very similar problem exists with dithering processes. One way to use a b/w screen for grayscale is to treat the gray scale values as coin flip probabilities. This is known as random dithering. Its simple, its obvious, it should work, and it does work surprisingly well most of the time. But it runs into the exact same distribution problem. When there are closely spaced stripes in the image you want to show, that stripe pattern gets completely washed out by the noise being added to fake brightness levels. Put another way, overlaying TV static on any image makes it impossible to see blobs of the same size as might happen by random chance. The generator network can't see certain patterns, because the length scale of those patterns are coincident with the length scale of the noise being added by the adversary.

This problem will never be solved by substituting data for comprehension. That's a one shot lesson worth generalizing.
I wonder if this is legally enforceable. If Microsoft is right with Copilot on the point that training models counts as "fair use", then the only thing stopping people from fine tuning their own models are these terms of use, which seems like it can be easily sidestepped by having an intermediate person/company to "process" the outputs.
Too bad Microsoft did not have an "Ethical Office Team" back when Microsoft Office was first released. Think of how many hurtful words have been typed into Word documents. Think of all the PowerPoints that were used to mislead people. Think of all the people that were tricked out of their money looking at an Excel spreadsheet with non-factual numbers.

You are correct that there are circumstances where you have to consider panic safety. But those are rare. Most code is not unsafe, and catching panics is usually bad practice in Rust (though I am sure there are circumstances where it is needed). In C++ by contrast you have to think about panic safety almost everywhere. Rust’s error handling is a big improvement in that regard.

I disagree. Actions is really nice and I don’t have to set up and debug runners. In GitHub, I can have dedicated runners if I want, but99% of the time, I just use vanilla Ubuntu runners.

My fear though is that GitHub will Jack up their prices once I’m running everything. Right now they give 50k minutes per month, but that could change at any point. GitHub enterprise started out at $8/month and now it’s $20+.

A lot of negative things about unions are "commonly accepted;" that doesn't make them true.

It's possible that those wage increases did have a negative effect, but especially in this time of massively increased anti-union propaganda, I think that anything negative about them being claimed as "commonly accepted" deserves a [Citation Needed].

I agree that it's important to avoid bankruns. However, it is more important that losses from private ventures are not borne by people who wouldn't have had any share in the profits.

If the Federal Government were to guarantee that banks could engage in criminal levels of financial irresponsibility whilst pursuing profit and yet any disastrous fallout would be borne by the taxpayer, such a scheme would only lead to a solidification of a wealthy minority and an exceedingly poorer majority.

As far as keeping up with things, the best way to do this is actually to be in AI related discords. I'm not sure why, but people involved in AI are terrible about having a single source of info...or even just info in general. I would start by joining the LAION discord then finding others from there.

Another great way to learn about what's going on in AI is actually through threads on 4chan's /g/ board. If you're willing to look past the fact that it's 4chan you will be the first to know about lots of neat stuff.

Btw, I'm not a researcher. I'm just talking about ways to get a quick scoop on what the current AI meta is and how far it can be pushed.

Where are you from? I'd like to move if people around you take care of their land. Here in Michigan people don't often do that.

My private well is contaminated with 85 ppt (and my bloodstream, at 30ppt years after fixing the water supply) of PFAS because Wolverine tannery owners decided to dump ScotchGuard contaminated scraps in the swamp behind their homes.

The river through that same town, likewise, is no longer a world-class trout stream because homeowners on the stream banks fill it with nitrates and algae blooms by fertilizing their lawns. Lakes are clogged with zebra mussels because fishermen won't clean their boats and drain livewells/bilges while traveling between lakes, and the very fish they're going around to catch are down precipitously as a result of those actions. Once-productive farms? Soil's depleted. Old growth forests? Clear-cut, replaced by scrubby tangles and immature pines. The whole Great Lakes ecosystems? I give it less than a decade before invasive carp come through Chicago's unreliable electric deterrent.

The lack of radioactive sludge opportunities is unique, most other land-destroying activities are well established.

Land keeps its value because it's scarce and the growing population and growing economy keeps needing it, not because it's maintained to anything remotely like the ecological quality it once had.

Not many, that's my point, Americans should take a page from the book of Extinction Rebellion protestors in the UK and begin disrupting operations, or of German environmentalist protestors who actively disrupt for example coal mining operations. Or perhaps the French, experts in civil disobedience. I think the American zeitgeist is generally extremely conservative which is a large hindrance to mass movements, but also it lacks a strong leftist movement, any form of progressivism seems to have been effectively captured by liberals.

I highly doubt any further progress will be seen from attempting to elect progressive candidates in the USA - the bloodletting I've seen between Bernie Sanders supporters and the rest of the country is a great example of why, he's perhaps one of the most milquetoast socialists on earth and yet even the american "progressive" party viciously turned on him. Considering the captured election system, it seems like Americans that are interested in progress and leftist values should instead seek direct remedies.

Unfortunately it's actually kind of difficult to parse your question because of the ambiguity in the surrounding comments. You could mean "tagged union" instead of "union," or maybe not and "them" means "tagged union"...

If you're asking to compare tagged unions and unions, then...

A union is not a tagged union. A union is part of a tagged union. A union on its own is just a region of memory. What's in that memory? I dunno. Who does? Maybe something about your program knows what it is. Maybe not. But what if you need to know what it is and some other aspect of your program doesn't tell you what it is? Well, you instead put a little bit of memory next to your union. Perhaps it an integer. 0 means the memory is a 32-bit signed integer. 1 means it's a NUL terminated string. 2 means it's a 'struct dirent'. The point is, that integer is a tag. The combination of a union and a tag is a tagged union.

An abstract syntax tree is a classic example of a tagged union.

If instead you're asking to compare tagged unions and sum types, then...

Tagged unions are one particularly popular implementation choice of a sum type. Usually sum types have additional stuff layered on top of them that a simple tagged union does not have. For example, pattern matching and exhaustiveness checking.

Of those things that I like more in Gitlab, it is deploy tokens: an easy way to be able to dole out permission to clone code where needed without having to bother with key management or user management. As far as I can tell GitHub has something like this but it requires setting up an app to talk to the API and isn’t nearly simple as the button available in Gitlab.
