I agree, it is disorienting.

I think the best thing one can do is learn how LLMs work, acquaint themselves with real implementations of it (ChatGPT, copilot), and then find ways to integrate these techniques into their companies.
So you‘re saying that OpenSSH has an interface for that on the host key side?

I‘m aware of the PKCS#11 integration in the OpenSSH client and have dabbled a bit with it but was not aware of any server side equivalent.

And how does TLS fit in here? SSH is a very different protocol from that, no?

Update: I can't find any OpenSSH documentation of either (server-side) PCKS#11/HSM support or kernel-mode cryptography (which also in the case of Linux only addresses symmetric encryption to my knowledge, at least the mainline kernel version I know of).

Maybe you're thinking of some other SSH implementation? The protocol definitely allows for server-side HSM usage, and Github at their scale is not bound to OpenSSH in any way.
ML inference is not generally FP32 anymore. I was going off of the TOPs numbers for ML from a few sources, which generally agree M2 is about 22 TOPS and 4080 (desktop) is about 50.

But in any event, yes, that was my point. UMA is a huge advantage, the GPU itself is too weak to be serious.

But it’s a lot easier to drop a dramatically beefier GPU into a new design than it is to update the entire platform for UMA. Apple has a huge opportunity here… whether tbey pursue it or not remains to be seen.

This is a super super super beginner question, but what's a good resource for learning the "correct" fingerings?

I took 9 years of piano lessons, but I was very young (I quit when I was 12, 25+ years ago), so I have a vague memory that there's a "right" way to do things, but no idea where to go to re-learn it.

I quit as soon as my parents would let me because I thought sight reading was supposed to be as easy as reading written words, and if I hadn't been able to master what I thought of as the most basic skill in 9 years, I must be hopeless.

Now I understand that sight reading is actually a much more advanced skill, so I probably wasn't hopeless after all.
I really like the animations. Well done.

This one does confuse me though. Why not have the sidebar display permanently instead of hiding it within a drop-down? There already appears to be white space and a column header ("More options...") dedicated to it already. Also, why is the button label pi? It's all just really confusing and feels unintuitive. I imagine some thought went into it though, so I'm curious as to the reasoning behind it.

Other than that one particular case, I like what you've done with the rest.
Maybe they mean "information architecture." Facebook does produce Docusaurus, after all, one of the best documentation platforms out there today :)
Yikes. Your full potential isn't your work. We are all creative beings with deep emotional lives and connections to everything around us. And there are a ton of jobs in programming that pay well enough that you can live relatively well in a capitalist society. Some people find fulfillment in their families, neighbours, art, and dreams.

How many jobs in modern society are complete bullshit? A good deal of them, I would say. Why should people measure their happiness and self worth from these?
You want to look at the DIY options (it's not terribly hard to install the RAM and storage), for no Windows tax.

It's a pity the keyboard design never seriously improves even for the niche laptops.

Like, the space to the sides is useless here, but if you could split the keyboard and move that space to to the middle - well, know you've moved one step closer towards more ergonomic typing! Or better yet, you could move all those pinky keys there so that instead of moving your right pinky to hit backspace you'd just move your right index finger

The huge space is also a waste

This is an important point. Most certification standards are not tech literate, only process literate.

So you may be able to get certified for policy, process but not necessarily the programming to allow something in the first place.

Hopefully now knowing this will improve under Microsoft.

Improving Page Load Time with the AsyncSelectField
Here's a pro athlete with a pulled hamstring. They may not even be able to walk. They've got expectations for themselves, and they can't meet them. They can guilt trip or berate themselves for letting the team down, but that doesn't make them any more able to play.

You're injured. You may someday be healed, but for right now, you're injured. That's not a moral statement. You're not a bad person for being injured.

You can't meet your expectations right now. Injury is like that. Forgive yourself for it. ("Forgive" is the wrong word, because it implies moral fault. But to the degree that you blame yourself, forgive yourself.) Then try to work on healing. That's what you need right now. (Athletes don't try to play on pulled hamstrings, but they do work on rehab.)

I can't tell you what "rehab" looks like for you. All I can say is that you need to stop beating yourself up for being broken by trauma. It's not a failing.

For what it's worth, I'm praying for you.
Fractional scaling on Linux is still hit or miss in my experience. I played with several permutations of Wayland/X11/GNOME (with fractional enabled)/KDE and none got it 100% right, and even under the setup that got closest some programs acted confused.

It’s certainly not as painless as fractional scaling on Windows, where only truly ancient/esoteric programs pose issues typically.

I doubt the score would have been part of sentiment analysis. I ignored it and tried to make a judgement based on the text alone. It seemed more like a 5/10 review to me and mildly negative.

> also a way to achieve personal fulfillment and happiness

For all but a select few this is an unrealistic fairy tail. Most of us just want to make money to better enjoy our lives. We were given or acquired certain skills to make money, out of juvenile interests or opportunities we used. That doesn't mean we enjoy using those skills. It would be very hard to find any other job without taking a massive pay cut, investing huge amounts of money, time and effort only to have a high chance you won't like your new job as well.

I see no job or career I am interested in: I hate everything the moment it becomes work. And I am no unique snow flake. I am part of the majority with that.

I recognised the artifacts at lower quality levels, thought "this looks like JPEG2000" and as expected, it's wavelet-based. A quick skim through the specifications shows that it is very similar to JPEG2000, but also much simplified.
Probably not but I doubt ASM is either. It's too low level, and it doesn't make sense for a LLM to have to do things like instruction selection which would can be done far better by existing tools (LLVM etc.).

Maybe it could just be an alternative syntax for an existing language which is more optimized for input/output to an LLM.

This would be my perfect machine. Over the past few years I've gone deep down the keyboard rabbit hole. Given it's a device I spend a large proportion of my waking hours in contact with it's a good point to optimise (or at least experiment with) to be honest.

While Accenture is a consultancy, it has massive amounts of IT developers around the world.
I very much learn by getting my hands dirty, so if I were you I would find a project. Either write a a simple song and put in on paper, or incorporate concept you learn about music theory into a song or riff on the instrument of your choice. I honestly don't think reading music is 100% essential depending on what your goal is for learning theory.

I take piano lessons over Zoom (a byproduct of COVID, but I work remote so it's convenient to sign off of work and migrate over to my keyboard in my office for my lesson). I needed an excuse to practice more scales and expand my own knowledge of theory and be able to more intuitively find a key while playing or build cords. I ended up building this rudimentary scale-generator in Rust.

I did so because I primarily wanted to learn Rust but also wanted a tool to practice and memorize more diatonic major and minor scales.

This CLI tool is far from perfect or what I would call done, but I'm sharing in case you may find some use out of it or just as an example of what I did to expand my knowledge. In writing this I learned a lot about how diatonic scales are structured, and how Western musical notation was designed in such a way to make intervals easier to play on instruments such as the piano. It really forced me to understand how the major and minor scales are structured in order to be able to model it in the code.

Do you think the current regime of Google/etc doing ad hoc scans on cloud storage, with no transparency about who is requesting scans for what, is more private?
Nothing. It says nothing about consciousness and individuality. Numerical weights and physical neurons aren’t even remotely comparable.
I also use the right shift a lot (though it's not my "main" one) and would hate to see it go away.

But there's no reason for it to be so freaking huge! On the two keyboards I have on my desk (HP EliteBook laptop and a "normal layout" desktop keyboard) the right shift is the second-biggest key after the space bar!

My favorite layout, by far, has to be the "75%" some mechanical keyboards have, like this: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0059/0630/1017/t/5/assets/...

Hi,

I would highly recommend Perun on youtube for more in-depth insights on the economy, logistics, and management of the Ukraine war.
https://www.youtube.com/@PerunAU/videos

He's either Australian or New Zeelander, and somehow very involved in defence procurment and war economy, but he's very private about his life. Has enough respect in his analysis to get retired General Ben Hodges the former commanding general of the US Armed Forces in Europe to agree to an interview. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hodges

Why is Perun my first go to choise? He's excellent at summarising and contextualising several different sources, is not alarmist, and very sceptical to both Russian, and Ukrainian claims and prefers to try and verify as much as possible. Also his dry wit and humor makes an otherwise boring power point presentation very good as a podcast.

Since I think you might not be european, this source is a great general european news channel, that is great at contextualising current major news in Europe and will help you understand the current cold-luke warm war with russia. Ukraine might be where the front is, but this is make no doubts about it, also a proxy war for the energy dependency of the EU and the influence of Russia in the Europe. https://www.youtube.com/@TLDRnewsEU/videos

So, do non-joke dating sims exist? Beyond this, I'm aware of three; the one where you date pigeons, a Pride and Prejudice one, and one involving cats in some way. I assume that all of these are parodying a real genre, but the joke ones seem much more prominent than the real ones.
It sounded like you were arguing against "software wants to be free," or at least that you were exasperated with the argument, so I was wondering how you reconciled that with the fact that the Internet appears to have been a resounding success, and those advocating "software wants to be free" turned out to be mostly correct.

There'd still be nothing stopping Bard from adopting an extremely similar API structure, and people would just upload the same manifests to both.
I'm really curious to hear the arguments if it does. There's a lot of angles folks could take on this.
I really hope this doesn't displace regular fine tuning techniques. Dreambooth is superior in quality to Lora with image generation, and I suspect that it's similar with LLMs.
I come from a remote environmental instrumentation background and it's pretty amazing where the technology has gone. I've built two of the airgradient kits, tested various relatively inexpensive sensors and compared them to professional grade sensors. While this stuff is not even close to research grade it's a fraction of the cost, $35 for NDIR CO2? Crazy to me. You could setup a few of these sensors inexpensively, do an in-situ calibration (your house, backyard, whatever), model the response and apply a correction factor to give you some pretty good results.

For homes good enough is fine so it's really cool to see these devices become more available. You'll have fun with the kit, it's super easy to use and really easy to integrate.

I understand the idea is to 'juice up' the UI, but again, IMHO, it's not the right word for non-essential-but-nice additional behaviors.

>The reverence/disgust for police splits right down party lines. Team red supports the “boys in blue” but hates team blue. What a weird situation!

I think that's starting to break down. Conservatives are not happy with the ATF's self evaluation of congressional law right now and they are certainly an armed police force with arresting power. Also, poor people who are conservative are also on the receiving end of police violence quite frequently as well.

There are plenty of police abuse videos out there, against citizens of all colors and they're all over YouTube. The more people watch them, the more that support will break down.

Of course the other irony is some of the worst police departments are in cities run by the Democratic Party. New York, LA, Chicago, Louisville, New Orleans. The abuses aren't limited to a single party, so it's difficult to politicize.

Isn't this just to protect them from liability? If someone claims that their LLM hurt them in some way, they can say that they had nothing to do with it and that they tried to prevent its spread.

Also, it could be a maneuver to prevent the genericization of the word LLaMa, which they may want to continue using.
> If it's only going to be used once a year, then "juicing" (in the sense that the original article meant) is only going to give very negligible added value whichever way you look at it.

Meh. The animations juice, maybe. The slightly non-standard UI, though, is probably worth it if it avoids the nested-modal-dialog hell the stock Windows UI is prone to having. Installed mouse and audio drivers on NT 4 recently and, well, I’m glad I forgot how bad it was. Making settings non-awful is important even if you only visit them once.

What’s the upside for the user of a nested sequence of modal dialogs anyway? Though I understand the technical convenience given how limited the bare Win32 toolkit is. And there definitely is a downside for the user: I can’t say how many times I’ve seen relatively sophisticated users fruitlessly smash the OK button on the wrong (not top-level) dialog, because they all look the same. (This is perhaps salvageable by more prominently shading disabled windows—something Win95 admittedly could not afford on contemporary hardware—instead of blinking the title bar, but is it worth it?)

The Quest for Better Music Recommendations Through Prompt Engineering
There is already software to basically run unit tests on LLM output and re-run the prompt until it passes. As the models get better and the tooling improves, a lot of programming will become specifying constraints on the program you want, and letting the AI explore the latent space until it finds a solution, which you then evaluate before providing more detailed constraints until it does everything you want.
