The Cure’s Robert Smith convinces Ticketmaster to refund ‘unduly high’ fees
As a precaution I am seeing that a lot of people are moving to a paid account without actually using any paid service.

In my use case I am taking offsite backups in the event that the service might be discontinued. I don't have anything hosted there that I couldn't stand to be off for a few days.
Does anyone have experience with the AGPL in hardware, where it is much harder to figure out if a given core is used in the system?
Professional corporate headshots for remote team
The more obvious explanation is that a lot of the Kindle team were let go in the recent layoffs, and there now isn't enough people to run the service so everything non-essential is going to shift people over to keeping the lights on (the same is happening to the remnants of the Comixology team).
I've found similar success in using this approach rather than going direct to "write me some code AI-code-monkey". You can also take the following (which are the same sorts of things you'd want to do as a programmer writing this code yourself:

- Rewrite the problem as a list of constraints

- Point out any ambiguous or missing constraints

- Write an example that demonstrates each constraint

etc.

Effectively this article is really asking the question when posing a novel problem to the LLM, how deep does the internal state go in producing the completions. When it doesn't go deep enough, the trick is to make it do the things that deepen the internal state.

I'd guess that supplying a good system message to GPT-4 (waiting for my access) would help. Something like:

You're an engineer responsible for writing correct code from a specification. Break down the specification into small chunks that can be explained simply. If there are ambiguities, seek clarification. Only write code once all ambiguities are resolved and each part of the problem is described simply.
When I first played with VB in the early nineties, it was also about the time Microsoft Foundation Classes was released. I compared the two approaches for building UIs and it pretty much soured my opinion of C++ for life.
And that's why.
On desktop it works "fine", problem is that the scroll gets caught inside every code window on the way down. So scroll the page a bit, cursor above an example, scroll the example until end, then page keep on scrolling, then stuck on a new example etc.

On mobile it just blanks when scrolling.
Yeah, I want to emphasize those aspects.

• Excel is based on a simpler model of computation, something like the unification ideas in logic programming, state is not named and minimally expressive, etc. You want a looping construct? Better autofill a column or something!

• Excel automatically includes printf-style debugging of every object in the system; that is the default state of the system and you have to hide columns you don't want to see.

• Excel has no compilation or run step. The document is living and when you change things you immediately see the results of that change.

This means that the programming model in Excel becomes much more amenable to the results-oriented mind. Decide on an incremental goal, then calculate a bunch of results “the long way” and then massage the formula until it gives a result that matches your manual calculations. Repeat as desired.

It's like clay, basically. You sculpt it to look right and then you sculpt the next piece to build on that and so on.
It's very expensive whenever I look up. Sure, the apartments/rooms are quite nice and hype and well decorated, but that doesn't compensate the price (nor the fact that anything can go wrong I would be left without accomodation in the last second).
>head reads CSV row that has multiple lines.

It just reads lines, doesn't know anything about rows.

So if you want, say, the first 100 rows of a csv that has multiline rows, miller can give it, while head can't.

Head will just print the "N" first lines - whether those are 1, 22, 36 or N actual csv rows.

>Miller is being offered as "like awk, sed, head.." (emphasis on head - mine) and yes it offers more, but it does not behave "like" the nix tools it refers to.*

That's the whole idea.

That it behaves in a way more suited to the csv format, and more coherent than 5-6 different text-focused tools.

The claim is not "this is awk, sed, head, sort remade for csv with identical interfaces and behavior" but "this is a tool to work with csv files and do what you'd normally have to jump through hoops to do with awk, sed, head, sort which don't understand csv structure".
Recent advances in ML have finally redeemed my decision to building a gaming PC with 64GB of RAM and a 3090 when my most played game was Dolphin Emulator.
It will be interesting to see what position large software companies take on this. They also won't want to run the risk of losing copyright in their software, when programmers use AI assistants. Likely there's less risk here, at least at the moment, because you still need to do a lot of manual work above what AI does for you. But how close are we to the point where the corporate lawyers start to get nervous?
You couldn’t run google on your laptop or phone yourself. For inference, you can run many of these yourself and that is improving daily. There was no reality in which you would say ‘in 10 years I can run google on my laptop’ while there is an easy ‘in 10 years I can run 175B gpt3 or 4 on laptop’ as that will happen, at least for inference. So this is very different; you cannot censor things once they can run local.

> But the algorithm isn’t collaborating, every possible outcome is fixed when the algorithm is finalized and users can’t actually change the possibilities.

But that actually reinforces the idea that all of the creative work is in the prompt, everything else is purely mechanical process implementing the command given by the prompt. Arguably, its analogous to saying that a programmer can copyright the prompt but not the resulting image is like saying I can copyright source code, but can have no copyright on the output of the compiler.

Germany and internet connection, I can't comprehend how one of the richest countries in the world, in such a small land mass can have such bad connectivity.

It's really baffling going here from Sweden where I'm starting to get 5G signal outside of core city areas, get 4G almost across the whole country with speeds of 50-100+Mbps, into the city centre of Berlin and there I fallback to 3G networks every 3rd/4th block walking.

Friends living there having terrible experiences with Telekom, almost no fiber available, etc.

Germany should enact something like this policy from here: https://pts.se/sv/bransch/internet/bredbandsstrategin/

When GPT gives an answer like that, is it actually a meaningful description of its capabilities? Does it have that kind of self-awareness? Or is it just a plausible answer based on the training corpus?

Genuine question.
> They just show it to the AI, it doesn't store it - just data about it. The same as you when you look at something, be it a painting or a chair.

In general for machine learning, yes, but deep learning models with large numbers of parameters such as transformers and stable diffusion do actually memorise part of their training data verbatim. The problem is mainly duplicate data points. E.g.

Not all code is secret
I have some experience here and can share my frustrations... I wrote the original version of a product named React Studio (https://reactstudio.com). It's sort of a "VB for the modern mobile-first web". Unlike VB though, it's runtimeless and exports regular React code (there's no closed blob or mandatory custom packages in the output).

An enormous thing that has changed since the 1990s and those halcyon days of Visual Basic is the central role of design. Back then, overall consistency was a pillar of desktop UI. If your app's buttons looked like Windows buttons and you could use Tab to move through input fields, that was usually good enough. VB provided that kind of usability out of the box. The PC platform was fairly homogenous: you could assume that your user has at least a 800*600 screen, so you'd just make your application window that size and the MVP can ship.

Today's UI designs must deal with an enormous variety of physical form factors and display resolutions. But even if your no-code tool is able to deal with this and provides a consistent UI that scales from phone to desktop, it's not nearly enough. Commercial visual branding has replaced consistency as the central pillar of UIs. Now your buttons must never look like default buttons, and your UI must use a custom font even though the OS standard font would be more readable. This is simply what customers believe they want.

Unfortunately the web is a very poor platform for expressing UI designs in a consistent way, so literally everyone has their own haphazard UI framework. Basic components like pop-up menu buttons are commonly written from scratch. Nobody can agree on how to style a button. Et cetera ad absurdum. Your no-code tool should somehow integrate into this customer-specific private universe. On top of this mess, your primary input is visual designers who draw static pictures of applications in Figma and expect those to be translated into code. Often these designs are entirely lacking in structural thinking. (These designers typically come from a graphic design background, so they are very interested in fonts and padding widths but have never read the Apple Human Interface Guidelines or any other UI fundamentals. Hence they're mostly concerned with making sure any prototype application looks exactly like their Figma document.)

In my experience, the only reasonable way out of this trap is to focus on applications that are not of interest to the designers, i.e. internal business tools. Retool seems to be very successful here. I also use Retool in my day job and appreciate its no-nonsense design.
Nope, see you're using Rider, because VS4Mac and VSCode only offer a subset of Visual Studio capabilities for .NET development.

I rather do .NET than Java, but the FOSS story isn't as Microsoft sells it, hence why on our agency .NET is mostly used on Windows projects, and usually loses against Java or node in UNIX like RFP, even after .NET Core reboot, because of dependencies and existing enterprise tooling.
Yes. I only need it to write 50-100 lines at a time to be incredibly effective.

My productivity this month has been insane. I'm still writing most of the code the old fashioned way, but the confidence of having this kind of tool makes it a lot easier to push through boring/tricky items.
Quite interesting... Do I understand correctly that aperture makes it easy to manage internet traffic peaks and avoid site crashes due to high demand?
They are the best. You can give your opinion and they will always go against you. That means if the project goes south, it's their fault (you have the chance to say "I told you so", but ofc you wouldn't say because you are a decent guy). Basically, if you have a few years of experience in the industry, working with these kind of people leads always to a relaxed environment because they also tend to work a lot to show off.
Interesting... there is someone trying to create a modern Visual Basic 6 compiler & IDE : https://www.radbasic.dev/
They've released 11 generations of the hardware, I think it might be doing OK.
Hmm can't say I entirely disagree with them on that one. I mean it's clearly not a harmful phrase but it definitely is a useless one.

It carries almost zero information. Who is going to read "trigger warning" and think "oo they know that I'm highly sensitive about this specific unknown subject. I don't want to get triggered, I'll stop!"

Contrast it with something like "spoilers" where everyone agrees on what it means and people generally really don't want to read spoilers.
That's pretty much an opinionated, quick test. Don't take it too seriously. Even though some questions should be decent, I hope
Space based fission electric isn't very good though. Hence why they use PV now.

NASA are developing a system that aims to be 6.67We/kg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilopower

Compare to 50We/kg for cheap consumer grade flexible PV designed to be kicked around for a decade including an inverter.

And that's with an atmosphere to use as a heatsink instead of radiators.
it’s a proof of concept. you will have on-premise models soon that are privacy preserving, and OpenAI can set up another tier of API that has privacy-preserving TOS (just like cloud providers do)
Let’s talk large language models (Ep. 546)
Hey, I got started programming in VB3! Thank you for your involvement in forming my expectations of programming.

I feel like my path was so much better because I started from laying out a UI and then learning code as a way to make it do stuff instead of the "lets learn complicated goop with no clear purpose first".

To this day I'm amazed by how ok devs are with not being able to get instant satisfaction from achieving things that should be simple.
Bloomz.cpp: C++ implementation for BLOOM models
I'm not a doctor, but my understanding has been that we all have cancer cells at any given point in time. Consider how many cells inside you are undergoing cell division; errors in cell division are where cancer cells come from.

The question is whether your body sees and kills the cancer cells; most of the time it does, which is why most of us can live pleasantly for most of our lives despite errors cropping up silently. What we term cancer are the cancer cells that slipped past our body's defences, growing into masses that cause no end of grief.

To put it in computer terms, it's like error correction in HDDs and SSDs and ethernet connections. Errors are inevitably going to occur while data is in transit, but they are of no concern so long as error correction and other such mechanisms can correct and recover. The errors do become a concern when they start slipping past such mechanisms, however.
> If an author chooses not to credit an AI, how are they going to know?

IF a dispute arises, it will be settled in a court of law, with the trier of fact (jury or judge, as may be) applying the civil preponderance of the evidence standard. (Tools for detecting use of generative AI models are being developed, as are systems of including watermarks that are unnoticeable by casual human inspection in the output of such systems.)
It played a pretty large part in corporate intranets, which certainly controlled a lot of users. Most people weren't using more than one browser.
Interesting. I wonder if in future, people who use locales that are not supported by ChatGPTs/Ernies would be more disadvantaged. (They are probably already disadvantaged to some extent)

I hope LlaMa/Alpaca come to a level even these people can train it for their own language.
Why would it be? Most businesses have no issue hosting private stuff on cloud or in github private repos.

TOS and trust matter the most.
"I'm sure we could learn something from how Amazon contributes to the destruction of something already both so fragile and crucial, the press" isn't exactly a good look, but go ahead.
"If we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as lines produced but as lines spent." — Dijkstra
Gotcha. I think I would kind of welcome it if AI caused people to focus more on the offline world. Perhaps real life meetings will flourish because of this development. Perhaps artists will make art again for intrinsic reasons, because commercializing art will be even harder than it is now.
I doubt it.

CERN-OHL-S seems more common in open hardware.

In general FOSH licenses aren't as developed or tested as FOSS ones.
This may be shocking but truth doesn't matter, it's about perception maybe users don't see it yet.

The second problem I see is in creative products, if the success bar is 100 million users, how can you take chances on anything, basically before you start your already constraint while small players can grow normally.
It’s different but has similarity. Both are function that gets called when some lifecycle is reached.

React hooks is running on each component, not on whole app. React app is composed by bunch of components, and each of those have their own hooks.

The way I would build a DM with GPT4 is with a few external tools: the character sheets, random dice, and perhaps other things should be available on the side, and fed to the chatbot when needed.

>However, they were also not obligated to internationally announce that they in particular aren't giving them any more money.

Hmm, I think you're reading into it way more than there was. The messaging from the Saudi NB was more 'We're not putting more money in because we're happy enough with the plan to turn CS around, and anyway.. we couldn't if we wanted to because...'

But that doesn't sell clicks, so the media turned it into a 'man bites dog' story to scream that the SNB was abandoning CS to its fate and it's all doomed.

>they shouldn't have said anything.
Yes in that situation keeping schtoom would have been the better thing to do, but not everybody can get it right every time.

However I doubt very much whether the SNB hoped to wound us evil people in the west as they seem to be mostly rational market participants hoping to make a long term bet on a Swiss bank.
You are missing the fact that the scandal would be equally so, if this objectified any other gender and that objectification is the game of that trope/genre. And it's effectively not the only case of objectification in this text.
Ok, I'm not sure where this is going. You previously argued that the first movers might be able to get more money out, and nonzero transactions might be processed during the run. Both are very plainly factually incorrect, even for the very first mover, even when that first mover is perhaps the most sophisticated actor in the entire sector, and even when it directly impacts the most important portco in the first mover's portfolio.

This is not a prisoner's dilemma because there is no hope for the success case. The prisoner cooperates or not, and either way they go to jail. The only rational action is for all participants to not participate.

If you have a point to make, now is the time to do it...
In the post, author says that the GPT-3 version it apparently worked well. Which is really is amazing to me.

The prompts really read in a way where I wouldn't have expected the "correct" output.
I haven't used Vue 3 but I have used Vue 2 and React extensively. React is much better for anything but tiny projects.

It has much better Typescript support, and also it doesn't have Vue's spaghetti reactivity system, both of which vastly increase the chances of bugs.

I guess you could say they're more similar if you simply don't care about bugs at all.
Dishwashers were just an unimportant example. Construction, retail and logistics are examples where there's a lot of very simple tasks that robots cannot perform and that pay very poorly.

You've not understood the problem.

The problem is not the devices that support DRM.

Many ereaders support some form of DRM, but that doesn't stop you reading both free and paid content without DRM.

The problem is that the content (Newspapers/Magazine) is not made available via a suitable medium to continue reading it on an ereader.
Your arguments do not make any sense. Contrary to CO2 emmissions, nitrogen emmission have a direct effect on local wildlife, biodiversity and health of people and animals. It therefore does make absolute sense to limit emmissions, even if that means emissions are subsequently done in another country, besides 75% of dutch livestock is produced for export so we are actually currently taking the local emmission burden for foreignly consumed meat!
> Like imagine a label on a thing that says "Made without CNC machinery". So instead of finishing the thing on a CNC mill, they instead stuck it on a Bridgeport manual mill, and finished by hand. Or somebody finished the cast with a file.

I like this idea a lot, but the size of many of the books I read constrains me. I can slip the kindle into my pocket when going on an errand and read while waiting in line, etc. A physical book -- even a "pocket" book -- would necessitate some sort of carrying vessel.

Similar for magazines. I did subscribe to print issues back when I spent long times commuting on a train because I could just as well bring a print issue then. But now that I move a lot by walking or biking and would prefer to avoid bringing a bag of stuff -- I don't see it as equally likely.

How do you deal with that?
