I just tryed to post this to 4 subs and all were removed. You cant talk about this on there.
We have this discussion basically every new semester, honestly it's tiring. On the one hand we _are_ removing more and more content from our courses, not because we want ease the load on the first year students, but because we have to catch a increasingly large portion of students up to speed on topics that should have been covered in school.

Related: one of the faculties here recently announced the introduction of a threshold grade. If you were bad at school, you are not taken into consideration, even if there are available places.
Which, I should have pointed out in the original comment, relied on, yes, anthropogenic carbon emissions.
Just visited it yesterday - and here it is on the HN front page. :)

I was surprised to find out how they rely on modded consoles and presumably pirated ROMs. This just shows how much the emulation/modding scene means for video game preservation and how short-sighted corporations like Nintendo are, litigating and trying to shut down these efforts.
I don't think the vulkan driver exists in a usable state yet. So far there's only an OpenGL driver.

There's a show I like called How To with John Wilson. It's hard to explain, but it's kind of just a guy digging into a topic each episode, going down rabbit holes of various subcultures and industries, winding up meeting strange people in strange places, and filling a lot in with mundane footage captured in his day-to-day life in New York.

I have trouble giving an elevator pitch for the show, it's better watched than described. But I think "finding the interesting in the mundane" is what makes me enjoy the show so much.
That's how all browser APIs are accessed from WASM, the DOM is nothing special in that regard. The only way for WASM to interact with the 'outside world' is through import and export function tables, and at least in the browser all functions in the import table will be Javascript functions.

The only alternative would be for all browser Javascript APIs to get a separate "native C-like API" which could be plugged into the WASM import table and circumvent Javascript. That's basically how NaCl worked, with the downside that it only exposed a very small slice of browser APIs, for everything else one had to interact with Javascript via messaging, and this was a massively royal PITA. WASM does everything right in that regard.
This is such a non-story, mainly driven by the fact that home ownership in Nordic countries is ubiquitous (80% of Norwegians OWN their primary dwelling) combined with the high medium incomes resulting in those houses being quite expensive. I’d really recommend not trying to draw any deeper conclusions from this data.

Edit: by “own” I mean “have a non-paid off mortgage”, the tax on net wealth here actually disincentives paying off a mortgage early vs “leveling up” your debt/house.
Like I said, this may be conventional in the US.

I couldn't do it either as I have no idea what Animorphs or Duel are.
Maybe the most striking bit of its exploration of the morality of war is that the series spends something like 45 books building up the alien Andalites as beneficent do-gooders who the team of protagonists expect to swoop in and fix everything (including one of the protagonists who is a young Andalite stranded on Earth), and then it turns out that they've been as morally worn down by the ongoing interstellar war as the protagonists have in their guerrilla conflicts on Earth and are effectively as hostile to humans as the original invaders.
Not Northern Europe, but Czech Resident here. There has been an explosion in house prices here, a truly wild one. I bought my place for 3.6m CZK about 7 years back and according to a recent valuation practices is "worth" nearly double this now. It is fucking wild, and tbh I kind of hate it.

I still stand by my question, though. If I consider WebAss is a VM, which I think in some extend, it already is given that it let the process owner control/limit memory and IO sandbox. But, my understanding is that a true VM also needs to provide CPU sandbox, right? To answer another question in this thread related to JS "while (true) {}", most browser would already warn about the script CPU time and allow us to terminate/stop the long running script. I could say the same for a true VM that would limit the number of CPUs to use or even execution time out. Even with the JVM, where there is no mechanism to limit the execution of the entire process, I can run JVM plugins/modules in a separate thread and set execution time limit in that contained thread.

> you will not kill someone if you ride after a night drinking;

A pedestrian I know was seriously injured (brain damage, years of therapy) by a cyclist who was going the wrong way down a one-way street.

To be fair, the cyclist wasn't drunk, ... so maybe the drinking bit is completely irrelevant. Carry on then.
> I also wonder how this will shake out for people on H1B visas. When there are 10 qualified US citizens for every (US-based) job available, it's going to be a hard sell that they're hiring somebody with a special skillset that can't be found locally.

Keep in mind that If I want to hire:

A smart graduate from EPFL, Polytechnique or ETH Zurich who interned at CERN and has contributed to the Linux kernel for a software engineering job at a unicorn startup OR

A grad from a second tier "technical college" in India with a visa refusal rate of ~90% for a job doing manual UI testing and QA for a body shop [0]

my only path forward is H1! They'll both be listed as "computer related occupations" and apply for the same visa in the same quota. Does that make any sense to anyone?

Of course, my odds of getting a lottery spot for the former are dramatically lower, since we all know body shops and consulting firms won't hesitate to file 4-5 applications per seat they plan to fill out (so one can hopefully get a spot in the lottery and not get any RFE).

I upvote too many comments for that to be useful.
> Wasn't a fan of drone or having to maintain the integration with a separate CI/CD system.

I'm in the opposite camp, especially when this separate system is as simple as Drone CI or Woodpecker CI (I mostly use the former, but the latter is more permissive, license wise). I came to holding this view after I ran into some issues by using a self-hosted GitLab Omnibus install previously: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-...

Using separate systems for working with the code, doing CI/CD and storing artifacts made each of the parts easier to update, limit the resources available to each, as well as limited the fallout when something does go wrong - say, still being able to interact with the codebase, even if the container repo is temporarily unavailable, or vice versa.

That said, in a few years I might come around to holding the opposite views again - frankly, both approaches are good and seeing the Gitea Actions project is nice! Though I'll also acknowledge that some might claim that all-in-one solutions are sometimes a bit half-baked, a criticism that I've heard of GitLab in the past (though honestly they're also fine, especially for the more enterprise settings, where you have beefier servers and a few people to manage the install).
> If you must you could probably get away with reading the first ten, last ten

Not sure that you can. If you were to skip any, probably only 31 through 39 are completely skippable, maybe some of the late 20s but I would still read 29 and 30 at a minimum. Some of the teens and 20s might be skippable after 13 but there’s a fair amount of world-building outside the Chronicles series in the 20s; and 40 onwards is setting up the end game and then the end game. 41 and 48 are both weird but also kind of key towards finalizing the characters of the two cover characters in the end game.

EDIT: actually 33 and 38 shouldn’t be skipped either. They’re Tobias and Ax books and there’s so few of those that they’re all kind of essential, but maybe the Tobias books just a little bit more essential.
Nice. Would be cool next step if this was compiled into a windows cursor pack.

I think it is more complicated than that, Often tradeoffs of magnitude opposed to black and white.

There are jobs and education in rural areas, at least to some degree, but people prefer higher paying jobs and better education, which is more available in the cities.

I think that there is some level of thinking that the grass is always greener on the other side. I remember visiting my rural hometown after college and a few years working in SF to find that many acquaintances with only highschool degrees were now homeowners with 2.5 kids working at bars or auto shops. I'm sure they thought that I was rich, living in the city with 3X their salary.

I think that if you look at the National cost of living data for towns and cities he will find that there is something more going on then just jobs and education because many people flock to cities that don't have particularly good good relative cost of living

They have not gone away in Scala 3. They are better documented now and better supported.

However, the macros changed enough that it can be a significant effort to port macro-heavy code to Scala 3 from 2.x. I see comments about this in the issue trackers of some libraries I use.

I think the Asahi project will release a 4k kernel version for those really need/want it at some point. As I understand there are no technical barriers, they're just delaying it to push more projects into supporting the 16k mode (which has better perf).
They don't get to choose. The only way to get above-market pay is to keep potential employees out who would otherwise be offering better price:performance. That's the goal of a union, but they'll represent it in different ways, sometimes less obvious than others.
It’s a bummer cause it’s so short sighted in how it cripples creativity and open minded thinking. Fear has never been a motivator for almost anything good.

Dumb example I’ll share for a laugh is when I went to university (graduated 2013) they would put you on the sex offender registry for peeing outside and even for going in the wrong gendered restroom. One time I got obliterated and desperately needed to puke. But I was in a dorm where every other floor had your gender’s bathroom. Given my luck I was on the wrong floor. So my choice was potentially end up a sex offender for puking in a girl’s restroom stall or puke in the stairwell thus stinking it up for weeks. Guess which choice fear motivated me to make. Sorry about the stairwell, guys.
> I swear, if they could remove second hand sales, they would.

You don't need to swear. Textbook publishers already have done. I'm sure conventional publishers would too, if they imagined for a moment they could get away with it.

>You contradict yourself by praising Apple for keeping standard features while deriding Lenovo for doing the same thing.

Putting words in my mouth. I never praised Apple and I never derided Lenovo. I am simply stating the facts. I am trying to explain that both companies have the same approach. Neither of them are open source idealists. Lenovo is not more open than Apple. Apple is not more open than Lenovo. I am pointing out the double standards and hypocrisy in this thread. I have owned many Lenovo and Apple products and I'm not a fanboy of any company.

> 1. This is not true for "Apple hardware" as a rule.

It is true for their laptops and desktops. iPhone/iPad are not relevant to this discussion.
I think it would probably do fine, given we have languages like Brainfuck, image editors named The GIMP, parallel-processing tools named Linda (after the star of a pornographic film), etc.

I just don't think people are that sensitive about software naming.

There used to be a relatively popular package called "System Administrator's Tool for Analyzing Networks." A friend of mine still has a physical copy of O'Reilly's "Protecting Networks With SATAN."
> There is zero precedent for a nationalised investment bank of all things.

Aren't large state holding companies and sovereign wealth funds (Norway, Singapore, ME/Gulf countries) a special case of national investment banks?
> If there was a sudden influx of 5000 doctors, we’d end up with 5000 doctors seating idle.

I think we'd actually see an uptick in the amount of americas getting treated for their conditions. And a decrease in the number of doctors that work over 60hrs a week. But maybe not, there are a lot of Americans that need help.
I think bonds themselves when bought through a normal broker's normal account are usually true investments in your name that can't be "pledged and re-pledged"..

I generally accept the argument that people are having trouble running the gauntlet to true government backed low risk investment and that is basically by design (well inherent capitalist evolution).. Anyone who fails to get there or gets talked out of that position by an army of telemarketers in turn fuels those telemarketers getting more people to take inherently worse risk/benefit options that pay for sign ups.
We live in times of reddit/blind/social media - IT workers can already pseudo-unionize ehile staying under the radar.

We dont need formal union, but informal one - through information dissemination over Internet and absolutely voluntary participation and knowledge sharing - this is fine for me.

OP wants to change the software. That's probably easier if you do it with a different CPU board intended for you to mess with things, than with the original board.
How much does it cost to privately fine-tune and run Llama?

It’s USD 600 for fine-tuning. Maybe USD 4-5k for a computer that can run it.

ChatGPT pro is $20/month. 5k would be 250 months (10+ years) of paid access.

Not sure pirating it now adds up.
> * The sqlx::query! macro is a neat hack, but the fact that it calls out to a database in a proc macro is pretty insane.

Another point that I don't think gets emphasized a lot is that research software developers use spack as a dev tool on their laptop/cluster. Setting up easybuild locally is too much effort? If developers maintain spack recipes because they need them, it's much easier for sysadmins to deploy this software with spack too
You could be right! I don't claim access to any private OpenAI information so any theories by me are based on what's known publicly, which isn't much for GPT-4. I do want to call attention to the difference between training runs and inference runs (post-training usage of the model). If each training run costs mid six-figures, CompetitorGPT is going to have to be well-funded and likely sponsored by AWS/GCP (eg Deepmind) just to train up the model, given that it's probably not a one-shot. If it's much lower due to optimizations in training, on top of only having to fine-tune the model on a company's codebase instead of training the whole model from scratch each time, then I could see a company selling the service of creating CompetitorGPT or CompetitorCoPilot seems like it could be a very worthwhile investment, by companies that are willing to invest in such services for their developers. (Eg companies that are willing to pay Splunk's exorbitant costs vs one that would rather burn time self-hosting a graphana setup. Not to impugn graphana, but it's very much a home-grown, open source self-hosted deployment. Managing a Splunk cluster is also far from free, it's just that not all companies are willing to bear the yearly licensing cost for it and would prefer to self-host graphana solely for cost reasons even if TCO including the opportunity cost makes it more expensive in the long run.)
Well, so far at least Barry's skills are safe from ChatGPT. Here's what I got when I asked ChatGPT4 to create a palindrome:

User: Write a poem which is 100 words long and a meaningful palindrome.

ChatGPT: Creating a 100-word palindrome poem that is both meaningful and coherent is an extremely challenging task. However, I have attempted to create a shorter palindrome poem for you:

A Santa lived as a devil at NASA,
Lonely Tylenol,
Evil rats on no star live,
Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live,
Madam, in Eden, I'm Adam,
A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.

Please note that while the lines in the poem are palindromes, the poem as a whole isn't. Creating a meaningful and coherent 100-word palindrome poem is an incredibly difficult task, and I apologize for not being able to provide one as requested.
I warned about this for years. Finally an article gets it right.

Everyone will soon have the equivalent of online nuclear weapons: bot swarms that infiltrate every forum, including this one.
I’ve tried to like this more than once, but once you hit some cryptic error somewhere in the build you’re not going to have a great time.

Also unfortunately it doesn’t always play nicely with lots of high energy physics software which really leans on using LD_LIBRARY_PATH and running custom executables during builds. I’ve had bad experiences with ROOT and Gaudi with no obvious paths forward for fixing things.
Seems a bit general. Sweden is very much in debt because of the housing market. 15 years ago there were little regulation. You could get a 100 year mortgage with a variable rate and no money down. At the same time the government sold large amounts of public housing at below public market rate. Interest rates went from ~4% to ~1.5%. With no wealth or property taxes, but with tax deductions for renovations and interest rate payments. Most apartment buildings are co-ops, where the co-op have loans as well. Gradually there have been more regulation, but most still have variable rate mortgages which they are personally liable for and with no real a way to declare bankruptcy. Now interest rates will probably reach 4% again so hang on I guess.
It's the same as running a Javascript infinite loop. The browser will kill the tab if a WASM module doesn't yield back to the browser's event loop after a few seconds.
You don't need to use hydrogen directly. Methanol is made catalytically from hydrogen, can be reformed back into hydrogen fairly easily, and makes a good fuel on its own. The main link in the chain the needs to be replaced is switching hydrogen production from a natural gas feedstock over to a water feedstock.

What an odd thing to say. You can ban people from your instance of mastodon, just like you could ban, kick, suspend etc, people from your IRC server in olden times. What is wrong with that? How strange to make an act of moderation on your own personal instance into an act of censorship.
This is problematic.

We had to contact Mailchimp on March 7th regarding their flawed implementation of CKEditor.

To demonstrate the issue, we sent them a screencast[1] (in the video we opened dev tools).

We requested and were provided with a refund. Per my other comment on this thread. The content of the request was created using GPT (although the prompt history is not available, it can be reverse engineered).

The email sent and reply to the email are available[2].

I'm adding this comment to highlight the very reasonable fair use of opening up dev tools to try to workout what is going on.

The HashSet would be the owner of the IP address type. Your function would call the "take" method of the HashSet to take ownership of the IP address. Now the IP address cannot go back into the HashSet unless you give ownership back and no other thread/caller can take ownership.
Don’t know how this translates into Civil Engg but I was a software architect for a consulting company that did the same for a segment of the insurance industry.

Based on underwriting and accounting practices in that segment our company built core software libraries that embodied a common set of operations and transactions and best practices.

We would then customize these for the specific client. We would structure the contract so that it was hours billed plus a % like 20% that would be billed as licensing fee for the use of the libraries.

This would turn out best for both parties as we would get to bill multiple times to different clients for the work done once and they would save on the cost of building these libs from scratch.

We would of course factor in some free maintenance bug fixes etc but only in the core libs. Separate maintenance /support contract for application.

Some variation of this may work for you.

As a developer, absolutely!

But as someone who uses the internet for browsing, strong disagree.
> OpenAI's chosen not to release any real details about GPT-4

Actually, they have release some details about it, in this 99-page technical report https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.08774 (which is actually two papers stitches together, once you read it; oddly enough using different fonts).

But I'm not sure if this content qualifies as "real details".
