It's not obvious from that what the difference between React and Next.js is. React handles rendering UI components, you don't need either to fetch data from APIs, and displaying images and fonts is not something you need any JavaScript for, and srcset and media queries deal with optimizing, still no JavaScript required.

I'm not dismissing Next.js or you, I just feel like these aren't great points in a vacuum.

Can anyone share a picture of what the rocket looked like on the pad, or sometime before launch?

Also how much of it was 3D printed, and which bits?

We do only recommend TVOC sensors to detect spikes but not for any specific concentration measurements. For spikes, TVOC has some use cases, e.g. detecting aggressive cleaning chemicals or leaking chemicals, e.g. in an art classroom if somebody forgot to close the pot with color.
For the last few hundred years, huge numbers of European-descended men took up tobacco. Moreover, cities were grossly polluted. I wonder if that affected the intuitions of scientists, who were mostly from such places. Maybe they really couldn’t smell very much.
Doesn’t it depend on how many cpu cores to some extent and how much the ruby process is idle on io?

Amazon doesn’t over commit cpu for normal VM instance types.
While I was writing a longer post I saw the edit, I think you see the great irony that I also see.

I don't think my comment was said in bad faith. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be particularly inflammatory. Yet, some set of people felt my words attacked them and chose to respond in kind with violence (use of flagging to force invisibility).

The complete irony of flagging my comment is that it is implicit agreement with the idea that I was stating.

At what point does believing that someone should be stripped of their rights become or manifest violence? At what point does trying to spread that idea that someone should be stripped of their rights until there is wide consent for actually stripping someone of their rights become violence?

There is an economy of speech and shutting down and not tolerating the abhorrent speech inhibits its replication. Speech that feels good replicates. Speech that feels bad dies. Speech can foment hate and that hate can feel good. Eventually those feelings manifest as actions that that the speakers feel righteous about.

At what point does "gay people are an abomination" go from opinion to violence? At what point should it be addressed? When should the speech be responded to with force?

I would assert that hearing speech like that means it is, at minimum, time to arm oneself with the tools of violence.

My central thesis is this: Intolerance acts as a selective force against replication of memes (the technical word, not the colloquial one). There should be a cost for saying "gays are an abomination."

My understanding of your statement is that you read it as a justification for violence. I believe what I quoted is an indictment of pacifism.

In our game of prisoners dilemma, you are cooperating, and that is admirable. It is best when people cooperate. As long as people are cooperating, everyone should cooperate. Everyone speaking freely and respecting eachother speech is cooperation. At what point do you recognize defection? At what point does bad faith become defection? How do you respond when someone announces their intent to defect? What are the results when two entities get locked in a pattern of defection?

I generally believe this is a good faith discussion. I believe all good faith discussions should be protected. Once a discussion becomes bad faith, I think force/violence is the only way to move forward.

I guess the other core idea I have is that bad faith is a form of violence.

In fact courts have repeatedly found that cops have no legal requirement to intervene, even if they see someone being stabbed by a fugitive they’re ostensibly searching for.
It's certainly true that there are people today with deeply held spiritual beliefs with tens of thousands of years of continuity that don't revolve about a singular interventionalist monotheist God - which rather dents the claim that "but it's all the same God".
Having had some back-channel status updates after I got pushed aside, the lesson is that some people accept or discard ideas based on employment background.

On the team I was on, newly-hired managers from Amazon accepted the ideas of ICs who had previously worked at Amazon, and rejected ideas from people who had not. I didn't realize this was a pattern until I already had one foot out the door, but even if I had realized it earlier it wouldn't have helped. I was ex-Google, so the ex-Amazon folks tagged every document with the bozo bit before they'd even opened it.

My takeaway was to be cautious of companies where the culture is imported through mass hiring from single companies. I joined in the middle of the "Google wave", which was relatively peaceful (per Google's culture at the time). When the "Amazon wave" arrived it was quite a shock; their culture was much more adversarial and authoritarian than anywhere I'd worked before. By the time I left, there were signs the Amazon folks were starting to get sidelined by an emerging "Oracle wave".
Yeah I was just using the archetypal advertising example as a demonstration of the angle they’re taking. I figured it was not legally sound.

Although, that might not cover the T-shirts…
They aren't for you in this context then. The value of an LLM that can write passable code is not to take an experienced developer and make them better, it's to take someone who can't code at all and allow them to generate code. Whereas it might make you 10% better (or whatever your estimate is), it makes them infinity times better as it allows them to do it at all, even if it's not very good.

Think of it like an accessibility aid. It doesn't help people who don't need them, but for those who do it's life changing.
This seems to be a very good experiment, not in the outcome of the game, but in how much effort that you had to input to develop this.

"People can claim otherwise and it may be true for a small percentage of people but if you have less than 3 years of real professional experience, 100% remote is a bad idea."

Why three years? What about 4 years? How about 2.5 years?

I'm sorry to call you out but it's incredibly frustrating than on a news aggregate site that purports to hold itself to a higher standard than alternatives like reddit, that users are still completely confident about putting forth assertions such as these with zero actual concrete quantifiable data other than anecdotal evidence.
Weird how this promotional article is weak re advice for the most popular OS (and personal experience isn't the only source of insight)
We usually use the SenseAir S8 NDIR sensors that have a very good quality but also have a couple of MH-Z19 sensors in monitors that run since a couple of years without issues.

We ran a comparison between the two and the S8 and MH-Z19 pretty much delivers the same values (with ABS turned on).

We use the automatic baseline calibration in pretty much all our installations so we do not have experience on long term drifts.

It’s ironic that AWS touts the benefit Lambda gets from overcommit, but if you build a lambda that simply turns around and makes an api call, you are paying full price for the cpu usage, even though it’s idle.

I don't have a great way to put it in words, but the intuition is that you are putting enormous mental energy into something that doesn't give anything back. Being able to solve heat equations doesn't make you warm.

Other subjects are the same, obviously, but when writing a history essay you can BS and not think too hard and skate by with a C. With a math problem, if it's difficult for you, you need to really put your whole self into solving it to make any progress at all. And I think that can be painful, in a certain way.
Conceivably ChatGPT could help, with more suggestions for fuzzing that independently operating malicious actors may not have been able to synthesize.

Most of the really bad actors have skills approximately at or below those displayed by GPT-4.
We are in the process to replace Jira, Bitbucket, Jenkins, MediaWiki with Gitlab. Looks good so far, but I don't know any details. We didn't have to write any code for the transformation.
The system that you mentioned is specifically for macOS Desktop apps. I think even Apple is drawing a line there. I don‘t know of any Apple commandline tool which has a configuration in plist format etc. But I might be wrong.
It might be more cut and dry than you imply.
I mean if some company is selling, say, a Radeon 7600 module and then Framework comes out with their own "official" 7600 module then the third-party company is toast.
I was one year old in 1993, so I'll defer to you on the meaning of this expression [0], but it sounds like you were on the opposite side of its ideological argument. How did that work out for you? Thirty years later, I'm not sure it's a position I'd want to brag about taking, considering the tremendous success and net positive impact of the Internet (despite its many flaws). Although, based on this Wikipedia article, I can see how it's a sort of Rorschach test that naive libertarians and optimistic statists could each interpret favorably according to their own bias.

No it won't. Large language models are trained on 1,000 - 50,000 GPUs. No one's going to buy hundreds of Mac pros to mount them in a datacenter for training ML models.
Engaging in blunt conversation on here is valuable to me aswell. It can be difficult to summarize a topic like religion (so much to say) that I know exists, but isn't directly my faith. Protection from offense is not something I need in my faith, though I understand sensitivity to offense is common in American-focused websites.

You are free to say whatever you want and I love that freedom. I want it too.

I believe saying that God and religion is a lie, is something you can do as an atheist and be fine.

But if taken as a statement of truth about God and a foundational axiom, you can end up in nihilism and a 'bad place', speaking loosely, quickly.

In discussing porn and the way we all have to live together in society, I'm not willing to casually throw away the moral implications of porn and the moral logic of the conversation about porn.

Making porn a matter of faith, religion, atheism or belief is a policy mistake to begin with. If it has measurably damaging outcomes to our youth, the case should be much clearer about the boundary between freedom and delayed gratification.

Only second to their other biggest threat: themselves.
It just takes one language library to dethrone the next. I called this when everyone was like CHATGPT!!! The problem is noone knows what they are talking about and screaming AI!!! ChatGPT is not AI. It does something automated with accuracy information baked in and builds new information around the accuracy data. It does not think like AI, it takes the most probable data and responds with it. That is machine learning it. It is fundamentally a cornerstone toward AI, but not AI itself.
I wonder how this might impact how it does on the MMLU benchmark?

Step Functions: Unix Pipes in the Cloud
You realize that the US government has many supercomputer clusters it owns directly to support its own data collection and analysis needs right? If the US decided BTC was a meaningful security threat, they have a lot of power they can bring to bear and anyone thinking otherwise is fooling themselves. This is the country that deployed a very sophisticated worldwide Trojan to make an attack on a nuclear reactor in a hostile country. The key here is if they can take over a huge swath of available worldwide compute no problem, they wouldn’t even need to touch their sufficient in house and commercial compute resources available to them.

Bitcoin proponents love to pretend it’s undefeatable and confuse IT in government with offensive capabilities. They also liked to think it was anonymous until researchers put in a modicum of effort to show how it’s not. They get the strategy of the attack fundamentally wrong. They think it’s to take over Bitcoin. It’s not. Driving value to zero is sufficient. And that is a much different case (making transactions take longer and longer, disrupting on-ramps and off-ramps, doing hostile take overs of data centers running mining operations, perhaps in conjunction with other governments, having spies infiltrate these groups, etc etc etc). As the xkcd joke goes, your super duper cryptography is no match for a guy with a $5 wrench.
"Many people are more productive and happier working from an office and meeting their colleauges in person."

I can only speak to my industry as a software engineer, but I have yet to meet someone in my field under 40 who wants to go into an office.
This looks amazing, and makes me finally consider a Framework laptop for my next laptop: my must haves are good displays and discrete graphics, and this model seems to allow upgrading of these.
I gave it a paragraph "hiring" GPT-4 and explaining our mission. Then a sentence overview of our two projects (api and app) as well as a description of similar apps and how we're different. Then I have about 12 tickets written in plaintext like this:

Issue ID: GD-012
Type: Task
Title: [api] Migrate to TRPC from express/rest
Assignee: John
Status: In Progress
--Description Beginning--
--Description End--

Because the outputs are really long, here's an example of my interactions with Dave (the name I gave to GPT-4). There's also emails Dave has created to fictional stakeholders but that's too high up. Right now the problem I'm having is that sometimes Dave can remember the issue tracker state but when trying to output (so that I can store it) it can't produce a long enough output (now, it worked before when I had 6 tickets). If I were to cram everything into 1 prompt then it would probably work, but a better solution is to use langchain and a document loader for issues.

I believe that if I was able to vectorize the codebase so that if could search for relavent portions of code (at work a lot of our tickets were "update this endpoint to handle case X, we did it to this other endpoint 6 months ago (link to PR)) and have a proper store of issues then it could be powerful.

Sorry, we are techies - why would we be running a "social simulation"?

At this point, I just gave up on commenting because I was too cross. Worst article I have ever read linked to here, by far. Why does everything here get upvoted?
I've read various places that it's about 85% printed, by mass. The tanks & payload shroud, and portions of the engines as well. For the latter, the expansion nozzles and the crazy custom propellant plumbing were 3D printed.
We had an entire summer of protests against the ability of police to kill innocent people, with zero changes to laws that I have heard about.

Such a massive civil uprising, with no legislative response except to perhaps retrench qualified immunity, is not the sign of a free country.

By the lords above, beside, and below I am not going to pearl clutch and nitpick actions that disrupt police. They already have the systemic benefit of the doubt and so much more. If we start torturing their families on live camera then give me a page but until then.... I sleep.

If this weren't horribly mislabeled, it'd be a great behind-the-scenes article.

> Practical Libc-free threading on Linux

> This article will demonstrate a simple, practical, and robust approach to spawning and managing threads using only raw system calls.

This is neither practical nor simple nor robust.

It is a good write-up on what happens behind the scenes when you set up threads in your language of choice with your library of choice. Great if you have that understanding.

Bring this into any kind of production code base (that isn't itself a threading library) and it's grounds for dismissal, because it makes very evident a severe lack of insight and judgement on what tools to use for a given problem at hand.
RRR is not Bollywood technically, it’s Tollywood.
What reputation?
That's a bit defeatest, don't you think?

OpenAI is not the end all and be all, and projects like this will only inspire more challengers. OpenAI copying this architecture will delegitimize them as hardcore innovators, whom they're not.

I see this is a credible challenge because it most certainly is.
What do you mean by "reliably perform basic reasoning"?
Yeah that theological argument is surmountable, from my eyes. I'm happy to have both ideas on as options, the monotheism one was left off the map.

The Indian and Japanese beliefs are particularly fascinating in the departure from monotheism. The Shinto practices and Hindu beliefs are something I have left inadequately studied so far.

We’re on two very different wavelengths my friend.

I think what’s happening is that I’m arguing between the lines and you’re arguing on them. It’s like matter and antimatter, but no matter.
Oh I‘m fighting the battle for a clean home directory for years. I even use a setup on macOS to set specific environment variables via systemd during login so I can link them into the .config directory.

Only issue with my setup in general is that I can‘t just replicate it for other people. I moved .aws directory in .config/aws and I sometimes forget what the default for most tools is or where I helped the tool out to „find the right path“.

I also make sure when writing scripts/cli tools to use the XDG spec. In rust I use the dirs crate for example. I even go so far to never hardcode it for my own config scripts/files just in case I think about going from ~/.config to ~/.my_configurations or whatever.
That's not the takeaway I got from the "how it works" post. He does describe the word statistics part in detail - which is, of course, pretty fundamental to how it works - but he doesn't claim that it's merely a "stochastic parrot", like many do. On the contrary (highlighting mine):

"... this means that ChatGPT—even with its ultimately straightforward neural net structure—is successfully able to “capture the essence” of human language and the thinking behind it. And moreover, in its training, ChatGPT has somehow “implicitly discovered” whatever regularities in language (and thinking) make this possible."
And then get hired one county over. So not really any accountability.
I highly recommend you take a look at https://webkit.org/blog/6161/locking-in-webkit/ then. It’s been known for a long time that pthread mutexes are very expensive and terrible. Unfortunately you can’t fix it AND maintain back compat (and you might lose technical compliance with POSIX). But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t drastically better locking primitives and it’s the epitomy of hubirus to think glibc is a great codebase. It’s just widely used and most people really don’t want to dive into writing their own libc. Literally every high performance application I’ve seen uses their own locking primitives, DNS alternatives etc. The only exception is when the locking isn’t a critical bottleneck.

Examples of the same concept in different contexts:
WTF lock
Folly locks
ABSEIL locks
Rust mutexes

I have more interesting projects to work on than glibc maintenance.
if you watch their announcement Livestream video it looked just as fast as normal ChatGPT.

I think what we have access to is a fair bit slower.
They have already ingested most of the internet and all popular and semi popular books. If your plan doesn't involve every person on Earth wearing a go pro and uploading it to OpenAI you will have difficulty finding 9,999 more internets and libraries of congress.
> when an academic person dismisses this type of devilry as fiction

Are you implying that instead all people should align on witchcraft being legitimate? And that if all people align on it being legitimate that it should be viewed as devilry?
On the bright side, now you’re basically caught up. This stuff is shockingly easy :)
In theory this is what the second amendment is for. Police raid you house, pump em with bullets. In practice this only works as deterrence -- you always hear of cops confronting drug dealers etc calmly in public places, where they are away from their trove of weapons, whereas no-knock raids and home invasions are for the poors.
Well, I just came in this thread to lurk, so I guess I'm watching those who are watching those who watch the watchers.
Research developments are already showing that our models are woefully inefficient in their current state (compare the performance of GPT-3 140B against Alpaca 30B). Not only will hardware get better, the minimum model sizes for good inference will become smaller in the future.
Would an ASIC really be better than GPUs? I'm not 100% sure but aren't low power GPUs essentially ASICs for matrix multiplication.
>People like this never pause to ask why they spend so much time thinking about things that they say are ridiculous fictions.

Because belief in fictional things can have enormous consequences for society. The things may be fictional, but the humans that believe them are real.
