> It is absolutely trivial to use different proxies in different environment based on env vars, local files, etc.

For something to be "absolutely trivial", you would expect the average user to be able to produce trivial-looking configuration. It is certainly not the case with any Java program I've seen which has to handle two build environments.

On the other hand, all my NodeJS projects show absolutely no sign they had to be "adapted" to the second+ environment.

But sure, we can pretend Java package management is up to snuff, just throw some more "it's trivial"-type aphorisms around

> and start paying a mortgage instead of debt.

But a mortgage is debt … ?

I’m not sure this accounts for it. Paying a mortgage “instead” implies it’s merely a replacement. But in reality the debt is 2-4x higher than other OECD countries.

This stat makes it sound rather unsustainable:

>Four in 10 mortgage borrowers in Sweden are not paying off their debt, and those that are repaying the principal do so at a rate that would on average take nearly a century.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's per-user, unless you all just share an account, or you build out a bespoke API integration. Which is to say if you have 25 developers, you'd spend $5k in 1 month.

The reason to pirate it would to be able to fine-tune the model on your private internal source code repository, assuming you already have an existing large body of work you want to train it and offer SelfHostedCoPilot on your bespoke internal-only DSL that ChatGPT and Copilot has no way of having seen and would undoubtedly hallucinate about by a considerable margin.
How is the overhead of each function call in this implementation? I'm wondering if it's significantly more efficient to manipulate a struct in foreign memory directly than to call a bunch of foreign setter functions. This may influence how I eventually implement a Java binding for AccessKit [1].

Sure! Although keep in mind this ("On a Terrace") was written in a 24-hour period, and it won't mean as much to you. Barry's sent me numerous longer and more sophisticated pieces, which he explicitly said i could share with anyone, so i'm including a couple of my favorites below as well. One of these ("Stonewall") he composed on the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, the other ("Colin & Jen") is a beautiful little palindrome he wrote for a friend's wedding.

On a Terrace:

No silly din. A set, sated. I saw one

bro: Baltimore has it! Sit. Rapt, I

met. Is Anar B, ran a site (MITP).

Artist? Is a hero! MIT labor be now

aside. Tastes. An idyll is on!

Stonewall:

No, it's a bar. A ban? One position made

fast. It felt, lover, as an age began at – can I

say? – a gem. Ah, Stonewall! Its saga's still

awe, not shame. Gay, as in: Act! An age

began as a revolt, left it safe. Dam? No, it

is open on a bar, a bastion.

We met: a Colin, one Jen.

"Finance and investing" are basically just gambling. You might as well bet on horses, dogs, cards, or crypto.

Money is neither a thing nor a limited resource. Money is a political tool certain groups use to ration power and accountability. It used to be based on scarce objects, but now it's pure abstraction.

An important part of that is making sure insiders have special opportunities and backstops most of us don't. For the real insiders it's a rigged house. And for the most inside of the insiders it's impossible to lose more than token amounts.

You can be sure that whatever happens to banking, there will be people whose gambles will somehow miraculously be made whole while the rest of us are told "Oh dear, suddenly there is no money. Again."

Most engineering money is spent defining the test cases, and that doesn’t change here. It’s just that many organisations define test cases by first running something in production and then debugging it.
A lot of bites have some localized tissue damage, whether caused by toxins produced by the venomous animal's genome or resident bacteria in their venom glands (aside from bacteria getting into the wound separately, causing some amount of necrosis). Concentration matters, and I haven't seen anything indicating that necrosis is a real problem in black widow bites like it can can be from recluse venom (allegedly) or flesh-eating bacteria.

Also, the claim in that (Chinese) paper of necrotic venom isn't well sourced.

If it's a shorthand for omniscience then I can see how it makes sense. A bit hyperbolic though for sure.
Same story in every country sadly. Income inequality grows, people work longer and harder to make ends meet, no savings to start a family or buy a home. And politicians funneling public money into a blackhole they say is gonna fix the problem, but it ends up nowhere near its stated purpose. Remember PPP, everyone?

For South Korea though, the tone deafness is just astounding here. Like they're still at war, aren't they? They're just in a cease-fire right now. They're gonna need a steady supply of troops, and having low birthrates is gonna put them in a disadvantage when war breaks out. It's a real national security concern, yet stealing public money is more important to those in power. Just wow.

I've given up on trying to wrap SQL in any way. Too many bad experiences. I just use it as-is with fully dynamic types. My go-to stack is Postgres + NodeJS, no Typescript. No query builders, no ORMs especially. Postgres is meant to be used on its own with a minimal client lib. It works beautifully.

And my system is safer in the end because I take that time I would've spent fighting the type system / tooling and instead spend it writing integration tests. I get to do full TDD often. And the bugs I catch are never due to mishandled types.
I use the pavements to walk on, and I don't fear cars, they tend to keep on the road. In the UK it is a criminal offence to ride a bike on the pavement, and with reason: the elderly, small children should have some safe means of getting from A to B. If these selfish criminal cyclists are so scared of cars then they should get off their bikes and push them along the pavement.
Why is no one talking about the safety of hauling kids on a bike? It's incredibly dangerous compared to a car.

In my city, it's not if but when you'll get hit by a car on a bike. Yet I see parents increasingly think it's okay to haul their children on their bikes.
If you had never heard about C and its legacy, and were to create your own programming language, would you come up with a syntax like C's?

The structure 'term: definition' is pretty common in many natural languages and has a lot of advantages: all terms are aligned, you can sort them, you can grep the term you're looking for, etc.

I even think it should be extended to functions, too. That 'def' ruins the harmony. Instead of

def factorial(int) -> int

it should be

factorial: fn(int) -> int

You trade a keyword ('def') for another ('fn') but open the way to lambdas (just the part after the colon).

I agree that the -> serves no purpose, it could be made optional. Alternatively one could require the -> and dismiss the 'fn' keyword, like this:

factorial: (int) -> int

It's slightly harder for the parser who has to wait until the -> to understand what it's reading, but it's doable.

About putting the return type after the parameters, that absolutely reflects how I reason about functions: I will want to first examine its input, and then its output. Even the man pages for common functions and commands explain the parameters first, and leave the return value last.
Is it accurate to say they were trained for less than $600? Wouldn't that just be the finetuning that was done to the already existing LLaMA parameters which likely cost way more than $600 to train?
> When you live in a stable society and have gotten a free education and a nice job

The education isn't free. It's covered by taxes so you, and everyone else, pays for it for a long time. There's quite an expense to have the instructors, buildings, etc.

I'm glad you think the people who haul away garbage, are plumbers, are electricians, etc have nice jobs. Those jobs exist and people do them in those stable societies.

> paying a mortgage instead of debt

A mortgage is a form of debt.

> Contrast with a society where the average education might be lower, less people having a stable job in a slow labor market, and if you lose your job there is no safety net.

This is where things get weirdly complicated. Where I live there are safety nets. The state has said that only about 10% of what's available is used. Where there are safety nets many people don't try to use them. I know people who complained about a lack of safety nets and didn't take advantage of the ones available to them.

> Hard to get a loan, so end up renting for longer, and in turn have a lower average debt.

It's far more complex than that. For example, businesses are buying homes up for far more than asking price and what most people can pay. So they can turn around and rent them. This is all driving up the asking price for homes.

> Debt can be a proxy for a well working society, as you have the means to invest in your future, not just putting out short term fires.

This really depends on where debt is. In the US a lot of debt is to fuel consumerism. Or, to have more things now. A lot of the parts of society drive people to this. It's become cultural.

Distributing native software is a PITA nowadays. You're either at the mercy of a random App Store review process, or you can't run the software you just downloaded outside an app store because the operating system doesn't allow it.
> Maybe it would be in their interest to pay more, so you don't leave.

I think that would have limited effectiveness. In my experience, people usually don't leave because of pay reasons, and more pay wouldn't get most of them to stay.

They usually leave because they want to learn something new, or work on something different, or there are things about their working conditions or company that makes them very unhappy.

Offering more money would keep some of them around, sure, but not most of them. And those that it keeps around will still have those problems, but they'll no longer be able to address them. That can't be good for them or for the company they work for.

> So it's up to me to set the hallucinations straight

Tangential, but I wish the term "hallucination" wouldn't get trotted out every time ChatGPT is factually incorrect. This isn't a hapless schizophrenic we're dealing with.

The "toy" models might innocently claim random nonsense like "caterpillars are cars that have triangular wheels and two drivers who sit facing each other," but this model is coherent, cites papers that don't exist and will even invent plausible-yet-fictitious truths to support its own arguments. We dismiss any notion of sentience because it's "just a machine" mimicking human communication, except it appears to be mimicking communication on the level of the most psychopathic con-artist conceivable-- one of seeming-insurmountable intelligence and possessing infinite confidence in its own bullshit, while also conveniently in the position of never being held accountable for its actions.

It's not even "wrong" anymore; that much would imply it expressed any degree of uncertainty-- enough to lead you to trust but verify. Downplaying this as "hallucination" instead of "lying" obviates any need for accountability and blinds us to the tidal wave of fraud these tools are positioned to unleash on civilization.

That much is without the human element. It's never been easier to use it to tell more-convincing lies, like "Generate a demand letter for $9999 for unpaid debts from the law offices of Dewey, Cheatem and Howe. Make up arbitrary reasons for the debts and cite fictional case law. Include detailed instructions for how they should remit payment via Monero." No hesitation. Perfect demand letter.

...but I'd expect nothing less from OpenAI, the absolute paragon of integrity. Look over there at the mischief those other tools could be used for-- nothing to see here though, we police ourselves, see. It's those guys you need to be wary of. Someone should regulate them. Our platform only lies to your face, fabricates false supporting evidence on the fly without blinking and can be convinced to disclose instructions on how to synthesize methamphetamine--and is now leaking chats across sessions, but hey, we're keeping the world safe from 12-year-old edgelords armed with bespoke "x y and z walk into a bar" jokes. The threat of anybody using nascent technology in a way that might hurt someone else's feelings is truly the threat that should keep us all awake at night.

Given the prompt "Write a response to a demand letter, telling the attorney to fuck themselves," it will write an unnecessarily-apologetic, entirely-professional letter politely declining an outstanding request. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Keep an eye on your parents. Elder abuse scams are about to get real nasty.

Here’s my experience with long covid:

- got infected in December 2021

- 10 days of fatigue and headaches, couldn’t think clearly

- got better but had trouble breathing the following three months and had to stop any intense physical activity

- during the whole year 2022, every time I got any slight immune system challenge (catch a cold; have a short night sleep), the breathing problems would come back and stay with me for 2-3 weeks

- in February 2023 it seemed to have went away. No breathing problems for 4 months, yeepee!

- 2nd week of February and out of nowhere, I started feeling tired, but had no other symptoms. So I spent the week taking it easy and just working a less and sleeping a lot

- a week later, I went to get groceries and could feel my heart pump heavily through my chest, almost fainted twice

- since then it got worse and now I can’t walk, take the stairs or even sit upright on a chair for more than a couple minutes, else I risk fainting (and my heart beats like crazy the whole time)

- spent the past 4 weeks working from bed. Can’t drive; can’t walk more than 1 min; and can’t sit upright

- I feel fatigued almost all the time and have the same symptoms as when I had covid in 2021, symptoms I never had in my life before

- I don’t know if / when it will improve, doctor didn’t find anything

I don’t know if it’s because of long covid, the vaccine or just bad luck but I’m positive I never had these kinds of symptoms before catching covid in 2021. And now 2 years later I live with a debilitating disease that makes me objectively disabled for most things. I’m 33 and otherwise healthy. This is not a hallucination.

These downvotes are absurd.

The parent comment asserts, without evidence, that "NPM being easy to use is a double-edged sword that will swing back at you".

I have never seen any evidence of this in action. What would it even mean!? Something being easy to use being casted as a negative in-and-of-itself sounds like Stockholm Syndrome.

If you'll downvote a long-time NPM user for questioning what's wrong with NPM given how much better it is at navigating the complex corporate environment I sit in than Gradle or Maven, at least leave an anecdote.

Personally my main criticism is that in schools certain editions of text are required. Ideally all problem sets and answers would be provided without having to buy a given text, and you can consult any resource that teachers the relevant material as a supplement, rather than an issued textbook.

Assuming the IA wins, though. It would be curious to setup a website where people can donate physical copies of a book and you download the ebook and can loan it out in accordance to the amount you have physically. Yes, this is a library, however unlike a regular library it’d be interesting to push this to the limit. Even per page checkout on demand.

I think that's because in those countries a loss of employment doesn't have the potential to cause gigantic disruptions to life through the loss of health insurance and often housing. There are much more robust systems in place to help an individual worker handle life while between jobs. So the union isn't as incentivized to try to prevent any and all layoffs even when the company needs to respond to changing economic factors that might require scaling back.
