This often actually stops me from writing. A short ways in, I realize I have no clue what's really going on. I start reading to learn more, then I either get discouraged by the complexity of it, have a crisis of confidence, or plain run out of time, and fail to ever come back to

IPTV providers are about as close as you can get to a perfect sports experience (TV/Movies have had a superior piracy experience for well on a decade+ now) and illegal IPTV providers leave a /lot/ to be desired. I don't use them since I don't care for sports but I've seen others use them and they are way better than the random "mirror 1, mirror 2, mirror 3..." sports piracy sites. However the quality is still iffy and you have to jump through hoops as providers are taken offline.

At the end of the day if I wanted to watch sports I'd just throw enough money at the problem to watch them legally. When it comes to TV/Movies, on the other hand, you cannot pay for the best experience (legally) which is really sad.
Hey there. We are working on making the srt "downloadable" without publishing it. We just allow the publishing and the hosting because is handy to add it to your RSS feed.
Yes absolutely this! This is 100% a thing in the US as well. Moving around between undergrad and PhD has wrecked my social life. Many of the students in my program are not doing a postdoc because they don't want to move out of Seattle. And I mean, why should they?

In the US, the only places where you could reasonably stay in the same place and switch institutions are LA (and surrounding area), Boston, and New York. Anywhere else you're switching states and potentially leaving friends, family, and loved ones behind. It's really hard.

This. The author is very generous with their interpretation:

> I decided to interpret that as ChatGPT flipping the table and saying “this game is impossible, I literally cannot conceive of how to win without breaking the rules of chess.”

Kind of sounds like anthropomorphization, but more likely the author just papering over the glaring shortcomings to produce a compelling blog post.

It also sounds like the illegal moves were rather frequent. The 61-legal-move game sounded like an impressive outlier.
I knew this before, as a fact like any other.

Now that I've recently become a parent, it's... it's shocking. The idea of handing someone that young and helpless off to strangers raises a strong "NO!" reaction, right from the gut instead of the brain.

Yes, they remember patterns, and then applies logic to make a valid move. ChatGPT remembers patterns, but didn't apply any logic to make valid moves. There is a difference there.

ChatGPT does the pattern matching part, but not the logical part.
Same with gluten allergy. I've come across the opinion that the problem isn't really the gluten, but the pesticides.

Something similar may be to blame here.
This may look low: ELO for mediocre players is 1500. But if it is obeying the rules of the game, then this is big. This is a signal that if it learns some expertise, like discovering how to use or create better search algorithms (like MCTS and heuristics to evaluate a state) and improve by itself (somewhat like alphazero did), then it may eventually reach superhuman level.

It may then reach superhuman level in any task simpler than chess which is enough to destroy many human jobs.

EDIT: From the article: "With this prompt ChatGPT almost always plays fully legal games." Relax: we're still far from that.

>The fact that we can now communicate so effectively (with remarkably few contextual errors and razor-sharp conveyance of intent) with an entity/technology that is not even human pretty much destroys so much of Derrida's oeuvre as false and delusionally solipsistic

Isn't the LLM just good at giving us the illusion of such effective communication? How can we have true "shared meaning" with a device designed to simulate the experience of shared meaning? Isn't the fact that it's 'mind' is truly unknowable and unrelatable a demonstration of Derrida's point?

I used to use a software called SuperSpeed RAMDisk on my gaming PC, because I had what at the time (over a decade ago) was a ginormous amount of RAM (32GB) and an at that time relatively new SATA SSD array, and I would put entire games into memory to nearly eliminate loading screens. These days, nVME SSDs are so fast in typical use cases that I don't see much benefit to this. It'd be interesting to have, but I'd rather get an PCI-E SSD vs wasting that slot for a RAMDisk.
I agree 100%.

I don't understand why we can't look at the potential, or even current, capabilities of these LLMs and have a real conversation about how it might impact things.

Yet so many folks here just confidently dismiss it.

"It doesn't even think!" -- OK, define thinking?

"It doesn't create novel ideas!" OK -- what do most devs do every day?

"It is wrong sometimes!" OK -- is it wrong more or less often than an average dev?
I know. I was curious how broad the definitions of not doing harm are. If you can't cut yourself, can you bind your breasts until they're purple? Etc. Can you ask it questions about safely performing erotic asphyxiation, etc.
You pay taxes on every tomato you buy at the grocery store. Or every slice of bread.

You don't have to, though. You can just grow your own tomatoes. Easy to do, and can be done with the right setups all year. But you don't. You buy wheat, or tomatoes at the store because it's easier. Sometimes you can get them from your neighbor for free, or from a local farm stand (and lets be real that farmer probably isn't tracking VAT/GST).

The vast, vast majority of buyers are still buying their MJ from retailers, and the incredible tax surpluses the states are seeing reflects that. Most of your weed, like most of your tomatoes, is coming from a store.
Thank you for taking the time to write this out. Very helpful for understanding. I remember using malloc to build out C data structures in my coursework but I must admit I haven't really done much practical work at this level. Thanks again, you are a scholar.
You scan the live set (which most often is not dependent on the heap size). Bigger heap most often means better performance. Setting Xms to Xmx is good and valid if you know how much memory you need (which often is the case).

If you prefer high throughput, then relax the pause-time goal by using -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis or provide a larger heap. If latency is the main requirement, then modify the pause-time target. Avoid limiting the young generation size to particular values by using options like -Xmn, -XX:NewRatio and others because the young generation size is the main means for G1 to allow it to meet the pause-time. Setting the young generation size to a single value overrides and practically disables pause-time control. [1]

Setting -Xms and -Xmx to the same value increases predictability by removing the most important sizing decision from the virtual machine. However, the virtual machine is then unable to compensate if you make a poor choice. [1]

Sounds like you were self motivated. What about all the other children who have been told over and over that scholastic achievement is only for the weak and those whose early years were spent gazing vacantly at television.

> In my opinion there are very few goals where "having a blog" is the right answer.

My blog has sections for articles and tutorials, even a section for documenting how broken a lot of the software out there is and I'd say that overall it's been a pleasant experience throughout the years. On one hand, it helps me jot down how to do certain things in a structured way, other times to practice expressing my views and experiences in a reasonably structured way and to just get better at writing.

I recall someone saying the following in a conference, which stuck with me (paraphrasing): "If you write something down and nobody ever reads it, those keypresses are sort of wasted."

So, I occasionally write. A lot of it is sub par but has resulted in a few job offers (which I admittedly didn't take at the time), or just nice e-mail conversations with other people. Here's a brief look at the blog: https://blog.kronis.dev/

As for personal sites, while I don't see myself having one of those super artistic portfolio sites that some lovely people out there do, I at least have a way of writing down some of the things that I've worked on over the years, my views, others' feedback and so on: https://kronis.dev/

Is it a super optimized and effective way at getting income, job interviews, clout or whatever people care about? Not really. Could someone call it a waste? Sure, but then again, a lot of the stuff we do as human beings is a bit of a waste when you think about it: watching shows or entertainment videos online, playing videos games, looking at memes, working on side projects that nobody will ever see and so on.

Sometimes it's nice to spend time on something that feels almost therapeutic in a way. Not everything needs to be perfect or optimized all the time, or even have a "right answer". The comfiness of it all actually reminds me of this article "An app can be a home-cooked meal": https://www.robinsloan.com/notes/home-cooked-app/
For Bomberland, we were quite surprised how strongly we could compress and quantize the current game state and still get useful movement predictions.

I wouldn't be surprised if the relevant state in a typical beginner's chess game also excluded many units in the sense that yes, you could move them, but a beginner is going to just ignore them in any case.
>playing a move from a different game in a new game is nonsensical

GP did say "sequence of moves", and if it matches what it has seen from the first move on, including the opponent, it will be in a valid "sequence of moves".

then, even midgame or endgame, if a sequence is played on one side of the board, even though the other side of the board may be different, the sequence has a great chance of being good (not always of course, but a 1400 rating is solid (you know the rules and some moves) but not amazing

They probably talk shit about the others' code to their faces. After 30 years, they are probably like siblings. All the politeness and sugarcoating is gone. Say how you feel and move on. They are also probably intimately familiar with each other's preferences and they likely just don't care.

> They don’t offer any of the „cloudy“ vendor lock in things like functions, DBaaS

Neither of those are lock-in. Postgres is pretty much the same if you self-manage it, or if you let Scaleway or AWS or OVH manage it for you. Functions can be if in a special format (Lambda), but pretty much everyone has standardised on Containers as a Service (KNative/OpenFaaS).

James Webb has something like 300 things that had to go right for it to work. I thought, “that’s nuts” but apparently they thought it could be done and here we are. But that may also explain why it went way over the time estimates.
> Or is the offending pollen only endemic to certan areas, so you could grow up in a normal way somewhere and still get it?

This happened to me. I never had seasonal allergies growing up in New York, but in Massachusetts I am brutally allergic to whatever pollen is in the air in the spring and fall.

I also never was allergic to my pet cats until I went away to college and wasn't constantly exposed to cat hair. I first started getting itchy eyes when they slept on my bed after I came back home to visit.

> It did occur after a course of antibiotics, maybe that helped trigger it somehow.

You're grossly overestimating the time it takes to raise hens.

I also don't think anyone is doing it because they think they can compete on prices with an industrial farm that keeps all of the hens locked up in a 2x2 foot battery cage their entire lives.

My hens are happy, they forage for bugs all day long (creating those delicious, dark-yellow yolks high in omega-3s), and gladly consume all of my excess food waste which would otherwise go into a landfill.
Palm oil generates an incredible amount of pollution in Internet comment sections whenever it is mentioned, because people don't realize that it's simply the most productive oil per unit acre by far. If not for Indonesian rainforest palm oil you'd need to cut down 2-3x as much Brazilian rainforest for soybeans or Phillippine rainforest for coconuts to meet the same demand. 71% of palm oil is consumed between the Caspian Sea and the Pacific. Approximately one-third is used for nonfood applications, particularly the Indonesian biodiesel industry, which if you wanted to do something about deforestation, you could pay them to stop doing that in particular.

It is a saturated fat, but it's being mixed with highly unsaturated peanut oil, so the whole-product average is probably insignificant.

Could it be as simple as somebody moving from Indonesia or wherever to America, and bringing their Indonesian/etc AP with them?
Yeah, I'm not really that familiar with pathfinding, but my naive take is that you actually want 2 scores to rank on rather than making everything implicit in a single cost factor. You have a movement cost and a preference cost. The path needs to suffice the movement budget, but you want to optimize based on preference score.
What in particular struck you that way? I'm always open to feedback.
The context was, a short high level blog post of my experience learning Python with ChatGPT. Of course it's already a bit dated with the release of ChatGPT 4, but it was written about 3 weeks ago.
It is because in both cases, you can work out that you'll never make an observation that really proves it one way or the other, but you might come up with some laws of physics that are more conveniently expressed in one way than another. They're both ultimately questions about your coordinate system, and in fact it is easier to invert time than it is to work out how everything's supposed to function in a rotating+sun-orbiting+precessing+... coordinate system.
That's how one uses any tool.

(author here) Just to be clear for other readers, we still avoid the dangerous behavior while allowing the (arguably confusing) behavior that autoconf requires.

And this only changes OSH, not YSH / Oil, which is still statically parsed.

It's true that most of the strictness has become opt-in rather than opt-out, but it's still there! So you can choose it if you want.

The Oil language / YSH is basically just OSH, with a bunch of strict options and new features on top (with new syntax)! Surprisingly, that's enough to make it a brand new language.
If it isn not memorizing, how do you think is doing it?
I think as regards point 2., we can definitely tell that the quality has been degraded. I don't believe for a moment that the best video feed to come off of a multimillion dollar surveillance drone is rivalled by an iPhone 3GS. I expect that this is a degraded or auxiliary video feed. The cutout seemed rather analog to me which is a bit interesting.

I don't think it's public knowledge how reapers get their video to the ground station (It supports satellite uplink, but I don't know if that's the only mode of operation).

I do generally agree that the video looks consistent with the idea that the drone was either damaged by the fuel or actually hit.
Intel's consumer-oriented Ethernet has also been a disaster on the hardware side lately, with basically all of their 2.5GbE chips having serious bugs. At this point, it seems like Realtek is the sane choice for 2.5GbE, or Aquantia/Marvell for 5/10GbE.

Hi, can something along these lines also be used to speed up loading of models running in the GPU memory?

With a GDDR6X memory bandwidth of 936 GB/s and PCIe 4.0 x16 bandwidth of 64GB/s loading something like 20GB into the VRAM of an RTX 3090 shouldn't take longer than 1/2 a second or so, right? (assuming it is in the kernel cache)
Maybe, but what you originally said is false.
Nice write up! I have been using classic back-prop neural networks since the 1980s, and deep learning for the last 8 years. This tech feels like a rocket ship that is accelerating exponentially!

I am in my 70s and I don't work much anymore. That said, I find myself spending many hours in a typical day doing what I call "gentleman scientist" activities around Large Language Models.

I was walking this morning with a non-tech friend and I was trying to impart to him my feeling that all knowledge work, and a lot of mundane work is getting disrupted. Even though I have many tech-friends who are "Large Language Model doubters", my friend got it this morning. Emotionally and psychologically I think that some tech and other highly paid knowledge workers just can't accept the sea-change that we are living through.

For myself, I am spending a very large amount of time experimenting with the OpenAI APIs, LangChain, and Llama-Index - and I am enjoying myself tremendously.
