> Python — which is typically orders of magnitude slower than languages like C

Not to nit-pick...this has been characterized by a team who tested and compared a large set of languages against a wide range of application code. The number is, if I remember correctly, about 78x slower. I don't think "orders" of magnitude is entirely fair. Yes, Python is slow. I have made the mistake of trying to use it for time-critical embedded applications. Never again.

Aside from this admittedly pedantic observation, the first thing that crossed my mind with regards to this tool --which sounds fantastic-- is that you would have to trust the correctness and reliability of your code to this translation layer. Not sure how to think about this other than to keep a mental note of it if using this tool.
> Building a model on curated outputs may well be more useful than training a model on a collection of human outputs

How is the curation not a human output?

Because of bait and switch tactics.
A deserving; that which makes one deserving of reward or punishment; merit or demerit; good conferred, or evil inflicted, which merits an equivalent return: as, to reward or punish men according to their deserts.

"Just deserts" is a common phrase that uses it in the same way.
Stop spreading wrong facts. OpenBSD uses syspatch, no one uses cvs+patch for that anymore.

For upgrades, you use pkg_add -u for your installed packages and sysupgrade between releases for the base.
Indeed they do but if you look at the product range they offer its still in the "we help you run your server" territory, not in the "this is a service that eliminates Component X of your architecture". I really like the Hetzner cloud!
>"Nobody seriously uses AWS/GCP/Azure to have a couple VMs or dedicated servers alone"

It actually does happen. They build some software, deploy it on VM and have said software use cloudy database service that removes a headache of maintaining backups, standby, point in time recovery, secure data at rest.

I have couple of shell scripts that do all of that and use Hetzner but I can imaging some org with enough money to not care about the price for convenience of somebody else taking care of your data.
They are not, but actual usage is typically a single-digit % of promised space. So power users are served at cost (or even at loss), but the overwhelming majority of users are actually overpaying for what they use.
I like activate setting the path. “python3”, “pip3” is the best idea anyone ever got since Solomon suggested cutting a baby in half.

I mean, soon it becomes “python3.5” (don’t really try that one!), “python3.6”, “python3.7”, “python3.8”, and maybe “python3.9-pypi” and who knows what else.

If the noobs you are pandering are too lazy to create a venv, they will never be able to change your script that says

pip3.12.8a-lyrical-magical install xyzyzy

To match pip3.14q or whatever version they are running. With the venv you are much closer to a write-once, run-anywhere situation for writing Python backed and supporting scripts.
True, but it's a bold move taking on the market leader with only a weak differentiator they could compete against over night.
You're right that any reference to "tech bro" is revelatory of the author's motives, but the people downvoting you are also right that it's not something over which to get your knickers twisted.

> they can't work out how to build a business around what is at it's core a nice UI for Linux containers.

It's quite a shame (for the lack of better wording) that the better, simpler and more intuitive a free product is, the harder it is to make money from it by selling support.

I think that the best way to go from here, would be building companion products and supporting the whole ecosystem. By companion products, I mean other standalone apps/services, not just GUI for existing one.
That and wealth. There’s plenty of billionaires living privately, but many people find rich people who spend extravagantly interesting.
Maybe it's different where you are but I'm not aware of any restrictions on the flexibility of working hours or pay when you're classified as an employee.

The substantial difference is you'd accrue holiday pay pro-rata and be able to take statutory sick leave.
It's psychologically difficult to do nothing when faced with inflation and near zero interest rates. The banks should have just sat on their hands and made peace with losing money for a year or two. It's certainly preferable to buying bonds that plummet in value the moment interest rates go up. But that's what they did, because when faced with inflation it feels like you have to do something, and this is something, so they did it.
This is less about 'self-supervised' learning, and more about ground truth.

I see a variant of this in medical AI. E.g. people generate 'fake' augmented Brain MRI datasets using image processing tricks, in order to provide more training data. But the 'fake' MRI datasets are clearly 'similar looking images', which may or may not be anatomically correct.

If you start accepting a flood of fake images as legitimate data for training AI, then it will be impossible to trust the predictions, however good they are in the majority of cases.
It should refer to "desert" as in "to deserve". Desert arguments typically ascribe a certain sort of moral responsibility on certain persons and them being liable to negative consequences in light of that ascription.
I think your broader point is generally true and often missed so have an upvote, but in this case the FDIC is going beyond it's stated policy. Demanding that the floor of the FDIC's guarantee be lifted/ignored seems distinctly anti-libertarian regardless of whether it was the right thing to do practically. Draining a substantial portion of the FDIC's insurance program's funds seems anti-libertarian. Refilling that portion through (likely) additional requirements on banks that didn't have these issues seems anti-libertarian.

I guess you could make the broader point that people comfortable with government intervention would have argued for full depositor guarantees, so in some since libertarians are playing the same game but that seems much more tenuous to me.

Per your general point, it was very well written! I like to say that you aren't a hypocrite for playing by the rules of checkers even if you wanted to be playing chess but were overruled.

Well you can do that in cash or crypto. But you still want to the banks protection, right?

You could go down and withdraw your 20mil dollars and put them in your couch. But you kind of like that the bank takes care of security for you.

But you don't want to pay for that insurance?

When you start a company, you already insure tonnes of things. You employees, etc. Why not your financial position.

Do you also expect the society to take care of your liability insurance? or health insurance?

(It is actually laughable, that Americans think that the government should insure their deposits but not their health)
Not really. They would be paid as much as possible from selling assets. That does not imply they would be paid everything. They would probably lost some money over that limit.
It makes more sense when you realize they define small government as when the government makes them money, and big government is when they lose money.
Clearly there needs to be some sort of reckoning when it comes to bailouts. That's a political problem for which I don't have any simple answer.
> This rules out basically any project where one or more contributors have made any money from consulting, which is ~all major open source projects.

You're right, he's built a multi-employee consulting agency around Elixir which he has linked in his Twitter bio. He even explicitly calls out at using Docker to install Livebook on its official installation page.

So he's built a profitable business on top of Elixir and is now upset for having to pay $300 to continue using the tools that help him run his business? I don't get it. This is the cost of running a business. He could choose to self host the Docker bits but I'm guessing the costs would be higher than paying Docker's monthly fee. Alternatively he can spend the next XX years developing his own competitor to Docker and then pay out of pocket to host everyone's stuff for free indefinitely.
Unfortunely it harldy matters anymore if they implement something or not.

On all our projects it is already downgraded to "nice to have" status, if it matters at all.

That's a double whammy.

If you hold a large amount of cash in a low-yielding bank account, you not only get less yield but are also exposed to the possibility of bank failure (which is itself increased by the increase in treasury yields).

The investor may just not be able to inject more legally. There are limits.
The irony is that regional smaller banks would now be supporting larger banks with insurance contributions if unlimited deposit insurance becomes a real perpetual thing.
I agree given the usual definition of "net earnings", but private companies often represent earnings in creative ways that exclude obvious costs (hey Uber!).
> Nurses?

Ah yes, I remember them. The students that were taking the easy chemistry instead of hard chemistry, the easy physics in 2 classes instead of hard physics in 3 classes, and who mostly seemed to be fairly clueless and just doing nursing because someone told them that health care is a growth field. Reminded me a lot of aimless business majors.

Their jobs actually are also on average easier, their education was easier on average, and their ongoing training investment is on average easier, and maybe (although this I don’t know) with more job security.

Edit to reply:
No, this is not a joke. I remember this impression I had very clearly. I also still roughly remember the courses each major needed to take.
I just started paying for Docker. I use it daily, it makes my life easier so I decided to pay for it.
So nice that Commodore actually bought it off the developer and shipped it with later releases of AmigaOS. It's not just a great way to automate a lot of Amiga apps (since most, both commercial and "PD", had ARexx support) but also a useful IPC mechanism on the platform.

Hi, thanks for the advice. The template idea is great. I will implement it in the future.

I was also thinking about the vector arrays. Although I still don't know how to make it work. I'm interested in implementing something like this Julia package: https://juliaarrays.github.io/StructArrays.jl/stable/ but for C++. The problem is that C++ does not support reflection, therefore is a bit complicated. But it's on my to-do list. For now, I guess I can do a specific SOA implementation.

I know the angle calculation is not fast. But I don't want to sacrifice precision.
I was very worried that a fundamental limitation of current AI-approaches is the massive amount of data. Many interesting applications only have very small datasets. Of course there are still many problems where we have this fundamental problem, for example interpreting sensor data that is very domain specific etc.

But after playing around with ChatGPT I think it really opened up new use-cases because it has some "common sense" through its extensive training. As long as your domain is text it really is quite flexible and was able to perform simple tasks and transforming it into structured output, so you can later consume it and feed it into another system. I think this is really revolutionary, the ability to describe simple tasks as you would describe it to a human coupled with a structure on the output, like a simple json with some defined keys. An interface between unstructured and structured so to speak.

A fun, small example from my life: I live in a smaller city and I am constantly a bit annoyed by the amount of work it takes to keep up what's going on culturally. The small independent-cinema communicates mostly via instagram, the small jazz-venue has a news-letter it sends every week and the art-museum has a website etc. Where's some live music this week? I would really like to have some recommendation ever week what's going on. Just to test it, I pushed the text into ChatGPT and asked it for a json to give me a list with a date, heading and a two sentences describing the event. I could have just connected it to a website and published it there and also let ChatGPT generate me an instagram post every week with the summary. The result was quite good. This was just plain impossible before and would have to be done by hand.

For bigger cities you have various news-sources and magazines covering the culture life, but here in my 80K-city it's obviously not profitable.

To me that says Red Hat doesn't qualify. Since the Organization attempts to make a profit. Apache does since they are a non profit.

However it says nothing about individuals of the organization making money off consulting. So contributing to Apache and running an Apache consulting company is OK, Apache still qualifies but your consulting company doesn't.

How far does this scenario go though? it would be easier for Google to just deploy a changed client app (chrome) that skips the blinding infrastructure, or just sends the user information to them at the same time anyway. In the end, unless you're reading and building every line of code (and maybe even hardware) you are delegating trust.

Or it assumes away inflation, which in the dogmatic libertarian view is also a government-created ("archopathic"?) problem.
Yep.

We’re already training models based on ML models of what human feedback would be for a response. I see no difference between that and training models on inputs that a model estimates are desirable to humans.

This is classic “processor design will hit a wall when they get too complex for humans to understand every gate” criticism: it assumes limits on a tech advance, when the limits themselves are being wiped out by the advance.

The Fed has a mandate to mitigate swings in the economy. The Fed has a mandate to prevent bank failures. And finally, The Fed was instrumental in creating the inflation. Let's not forget about that either.

I think most businesses and investors would not want that.

We’ve seen bank stocks drop, it is in those banks interest to show they’re not taking chances like SBV.
After Docker announced rate limiting for the hub this was an anticipated move. Was just the matter of time.

The only recommendation to everyone: move away or duplicate.

One of the strategies I am yet to test is the synchronization between gitlab and github for protected branches and tags and relying on their container registries. Thus (at least) you provide multiple ways to serve public images for free and with relatively low hassle.

And then for open source projects’ maintainers: provide a one command way to reproducibly build images from scratch to serve them from wherever users want. In production I don’t want to depend on public registries at all and if anything I must be able to build images on my own and expect them to be the same as their publicly built counterparts. Mirroring images is the primary way, reproducing is the fallback option and also helps to verify the integrity.
TLDR - Credit Suisse has been a sh*t show for over a decade. This has been coming for a while.

Credit Suisse is in investment banking and wealth management. It does not have a significant retail presence (EDIT - outside of Switzerland). Credit Suisse has also had a number of accounting, risk management, and other scandals over the last few years. They were bailed out late last year by a fund linked with Saudi Arabia who took a ~10% stake in the company. Today, they (the Saudi fund) refused to inject more capital and the shares have collapsed.

After swapping an and b in your example it correctly detects the divide-by-zero, impressive.

After replacing the zero with an expression that must be mathematically evaluated to get zero, it still detects the divide-by-zero - that’s downright spooky.

I think you're strawmanning here. I'm not against deposit insurance. I merely suggested it should actually be part of the banking regulation.

Like maybe it's a default line item monthly fee to insure your deposits and you can choose to opt out of it. The default is to protect your funds. My guess is very few people will opt out, including me.

I asked it a question once to clarify a fact from a book I was reading that temporarily baffled my 2am barely awake mind.

“Why is humid air less dense than dry air? Isn’t water heavier than air”

It went on to explain the composition of air, the atomic weights of all the most common air molecules and how the atomic weight of water molecules is lighter than nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2)

And my fallacy was in comparing air to liquid water that people are more familiar with rather than water vapor which is what would be found in humid air.
