This actually seems like a permissive rule compared to the usual no alcohol, period. But private schools in general have weird rules for unrelated things, mostly to protect their own reputation, so yeah it is "screw up and we'll destroy you" for those. The funniest I can think of was how my private elementary school banned all students from personally having a MySpace account, at the threat of expulsion.
Still the best choice in my opinion. Batteries included for pretty much anything and RxJS is a delight. I really never have to think about state management issues.

My only concern are signals. They seem like worse Observables just for the sake of something new. Hope they never get added

Way to miss the point, but okay. Yes, sometimes they would be called strippers. I don't think any of them was necessarily seen as "good" by most people but yes.
> Last week was terrible. We started with policy changes that felt simple, reasonable, and principled, and it blew things up internally in ways we never anticipated. David and I completely own the consequences, and we're sorry. We have a lot to learn and reflect on, and we will. The new policies stand, but we have some refining and clarifying to do.

I often think about this precise scenario. There are so many cases and times where a big company shuts something down that would be perfectly viable at a different scale. My previous company got acquired by Verizon and then shut down because it didn't scale to a $1B business within five years (or something like that). I'm not claiming it was a viable business in the first place (it probably wasn't) but now we'll never know. And for this story, there's a thousand others. I understand that sometimes the small company becomes intertwined with the big company to a detrimental extent, but there are also plenty of cases where a separation is still very well possible. The separation doesn't even need to be the business whole, but it could be a constellation of IP and resources, for which someone creates a new business entity. I wish that more execs created that possibility, instead of just writing off a financial loss and calling it a day. While the write-off makes business sense to the bigger company, and there may not a huge business justification for spinning off instead of shutting down, there's also just something to doing the right thing in terms of providing continuity to the users of your product, and giving engineers a chance to double down on a product development that they may have faith in.
I've been trying this for a few days and now noticed u-boot no longer builds with an output dir ( `make O=subdir whatever` ).

It sure took me ages to figure it was CDPATH, but CDPATH it is. I won't retry without making that "cd @" thing a subfunction (that might involve making its own completion, but that's easy compared to debugging make... I still don't know WHY it broke, just that it's CDPATH that broke it -- it decided to duplicate the subdir arg when invoking a submake so make was now left with a weird unknown target, but it obviously wouldn't say that and just failed weirdly)
You think homeschooled kids typically don't have friends who argue? Interested how you've come to that conclusion.

> Pair programming appears to management as a huge waste — two people doing 1 job!

Sorry to play devil's advocate, but pair programming is literally two people doing a job that has traditionally/historically been done by one person. There is no surprise this is going to cause raised eyebrows with management. Two devs sharing a keyboard is 100% going to be seen as two people fulfilling a single person's job to nearly anyone external to the role for obvious reasons.
It'll be interesting to see where this leads to. Probably a much worse web and less accurate information. As soon as online info became a source of income through advertisements counted by clicks, clicks increased and the info quality decreased. As soon as presenting search results in a certain way became a "real" business, the searches increased but the quality of the results decreased. Now that simply having access to information will create monetary value for the middlemen by extracting it from the source, more and more garbage will be fed to the LLMs but since they're not getting paid for it or getting any recognition, the real people behind the scenes who write the articles and produce the primary information will stop doing so. Just like the independent journalists, bloggers and hobbyists who essentially stopped having an online presence gradually over the last decade.
Sure, these AIs have decades upon decades of information available to them, but what about the new stuff? Why publish an article when nobody but Bard and ChatGPT will read them? The answer is that people won't, or if they do, they'll know it will be used to direct the AIs answers and tweak them accordingly to fool it and get the behavioural result they desire from it's users.
This also exposes an underlying problem with these tools, they only know text on the internet, and they believe everything. It's like asking a gullible child to read you the first page results and give you an answer. That's just not going to work.
Is it me or is this deflationary?
your story is basically completely unrelated to the article.

Oh wow, this couldn't be more topical for me if it had to be. I seeded and maintained a react site at old job; so thought that I would do the same at new job.

I'm more than a little wary, as I have seen how easily out of hand the front end can get. Any "services" we are writing will be backend and mirroring all of that effort on the frontend feels very misguided. Not at all happy that the first thing I stumble into is looking to be a giant featured framework.
Ah like all ChatGPT submissions this week, it gets hugged, it stops working.
Where to begin, even? The first paragraph perhaps:

The comments in interpretability read like science fiction to me. There's paragraphs on DV3 explaining other models and itself and the emergent properties that appear with bigger models. There's so much commented out related to functional explainability and counterfactual generations.

"we asked DV3 for an explanation. DV3 replied that it detected sarcasm in the review, which it interpreted as a sign of negative sentiment. This was a surprising and reasonable explanation, since sarcasm is a subtle and subjective form of expression that can often elude human comprehension as well. However, it also revealed that DV3 had a more sensitive threshold for sarcasm detection than the human annotator, or than we expected -- thereby leading to the misspecification.

To verify this explanation, we needed to rewrite the review to eliminate any sarcasm and see if DV3 would revise its prediction. We asked DV3 to rewrite the review to remove sarcasm based on its explanation. When we presented this new review to DV3 in a new prompt, it correctly classified it as positive sentiment, confirming that sarcasm was the cause of the specification error."

The published paper instead says "we did not test for the ability to understand sarcasm, irony, humor, or deception, which are also related to theory of mind" .

The main conclusion I took away from this is "the remarkable emergence of what seems to be increasing functional explainability with increasing model scale". I can see the reasoning for why OpenAI decided not to publish any more details about the size or steps to reproduce their model. I assumed we would need a much bigger model to see these level of "human" understanding from LLMs. I can respect Meta, Google, and OpenAI's decision, but I hope this accelerates the research into truly open source models. Interacting with these models shouldn't be locked behind corporate doors.
Does anybody else use the "Minimize memory usage" function in "about:memory" in Firefox?

I'm on a 4 GB system, so RAM fills up quickly. Since I'm also still using a HDD, it's pretty important for me to prevent RAM from filling, since swapping makes the whole desktop environment lag.

When I see the RAM indicator column get close to 75 % I'm warned and do things like close applications I currently don't need or press the above mentioned button, since Firefox is open pretty much the whole time.
At this time in my life, learning to do front end work at work seems to be more difficult than reading and understanding the LLM paper from OpenAI (or Stephen Wolframe: How LLM works lengthy article). I did some front end work in the first 3 years of my career in server side render with JSP. We added jquery and the likes and it felt little complicated but manageable. Then I become mostly backend eng for the next 14 years. Now I feel like the dumbest folk in the group when it comes to talking UI framework. I know how those stuff works but the process to put them all together is akin to pulling teeth. And then there is a recent discussion at work about going back to SSR with hydration and get rid of react altogether. Hydration, SSR, improving response time by lower round trip calls, geez we did that in the early 2000s.
Somehow I can’t help but thinking the way of shit we are in now maybe because of the ZIRP which is ending now. Maybe I can take a deep breath and say “things will be back to normal for fuck sake”

HU is still mandatory, though I didn't feel it was that challenging. A lot of rote memorization basically.
> I got used to the screen's odd aspect ratio ...

Many people like the 3:2 ratio and consider it a feature, including me. It's better for productivity tasks where vertical real-estate is valuable.
What is that reason?
> Because it exists for every civilization and essentially every system. The U.S. is not inherently exceptional in this regard.

How does that follow? Clearly the presence of WMDs changed the game.

I also don't see how rationality, or it's absence, relates to this point?
I'm not a fan of the LINQ syntax itself so much as the fact that I'm not longer dealing with arbitrary strings being smashed together that happen to form a valid SQL statement, and all the benefits that inevitably come with not having stringly-typed logic (like being able to refactor properly, type safety, proper autocomplete, no-typos-at-runtime, etc). It maps closely enough to SQL itself that the negatives of having to use an "intermediate" language/api aren't significant, and the magic can be made negligible, so it's largely pure gains.

You're right, I misread. That negates my second paragraph.

Again though, the article is not complaining about parties being banned, but about the process surrounding that decision:

Dealing for months with lawyers and campus investigators drove Paulmeier, typically enthusiastic and motivated, into what he calls an “exhausted, burnt-out depression.” He told me he had gone through “a state of mental and physical exhaustion and collapse.”

Paulmeier was doing graduate-level coursework before the investigation. But by the end of spring 2022, he ended up with three incomplete classes. Normally a student who earned mostly As and Bs, he said he started his senior year in the fall by failing a class for the first time in his life.

His grades dropped so precipitously he was placed on academic probation and was in danger of failing out. Worst of all, one of his academic advisors wrote him a sympathetic letter urging him “in the strongest terms” to withdraw his honors thesis, which explored how elite colleges can reform their admissions processes to attract more students like him.

From what I understand, what happened was:

* Paulmeier hosted a party which he claims adhered to the rules.

* Allegations were made that rules were broken.

* His frat was placed on probation, along with several other frats.

* The university proceeded with a months-long investigation, throwing the weight of their legal team at the students, with actual lawyers doing lawyer things.

So basically, either accept the allegations, or go through months of legal crap. And this is going to be the standard process for resolving code of conduct disputes across the board, all the way up to and including matters involving academic suspensions (the coffee cup girl). I dunno, do we really want universities to be run this way?
Yeah I had forgotten until after I submitted that earth was an entirely separate project. There was a lot of other cool stuff. I remembered and tried to use linux.google.com a few weeks ago and found out it's no longer a thing.

Also Google labs, I remember playing with their set tool all the time. You add a few items of a set, and it added more. Ie 4-5 grunge bands and it will spit out 10 more.

I will say though more recently, when I first got in a car with Android Auto I was like I will never be able to live without this again. It may sound silly but just the fact that the time synced with my phone I was like take my money. Even more recently the call screen feature on the pixel 6 and 7 was just pure surprise and delight. I finally feel like I am the boss of my phone again. Google lens and translate are actually quite impressive but kind of niche use cases.

There were a lot of little things, Google desktop which was pretty cool for awhile and it kind of fulfilled what MS was trying to do with it's "Active Desktop."

My point being that maybe everyone (including myself) is a little harsh but google is still building interesting things. The pace seems to have slowed down though and they aren't leaps ahead of the pack anymore.
That's a bit black and white. And impractical.

They are adults, and if there are no reasonable venues for being able to do regular adult things, for intentional reasons or not, they will create venues somehow, someway.

If there is anything to be learned from Prohibition, it is if you make rules too strict for the context, either you have to enforce them with unreasonable measures, or people break the rules in ways that cause more harm than you were trying to prevent.

Usually both.
I vouched for you, reasonable question, I got a few pages in and expected something reasonable. The first example set of white supremacy in math read as extremely tenuous by linking pedagogical techniques to overt white supremicist philosophy. An example that stuck out to me because I also think there are better ways was the teaching of maths as a linear sequence - seems much more clearly the result of an education pipeline focused on producing physicists and engineers than white supremacy.

Readers wondering how else you would do it; more like a tree structure, some pre-reqs make sense but there is an astounding volume of useful introductory math that is approachable once you have mastered arithmetic and are comfortable performing algebra. Logic, digital logic, linear algebra, probability, statistics (we can call that three things though given that two sets of two examples are closely related). Loads of stuff
Absolutely. We really hope to see the secondary market emerge as well. As Framework Laptop owners upgrade to new Mainboards, we want to make sure those old Mainboards either get reused by the same person, or resold to another user who can make use of it as a PC.

I don't get this. Did you not attempt to verify something that important was actually understood?
"Witch Trials" I read as more tongue-in-cheek than provocative, given the content of the Harry Potter books. A decent pun, by my standards.

I already listened to much of it, but gave up on the 5th episode in frustration. For a podcast series about J.K. Rowling, there is very little of her voice in it. It's mostly audio from an interview recorded a year or more ago that has been padded out immensely by inclusion of often-immaterial commentary from frankly bloggers and video streamers. Judging by accent, almost all are Americans, not British, and their analyses are invariably superficial. Essentially, the interviewer asks them to give an impression of what was happening years ago on the online fora where they were spending their time.

If they just released the audio for the interview alone, only interrupting for adding context and not commentary, it would be interesting. A desire, I think, to milk it for all it's worth ruined it for me.

And to the point of the original article posted, whatever you think of its contents, my God was it badly written!
Technically yes but just because they have a scheduled major release every 6 months doesn’t mean you’re going to see significant breaking changes. They’re not as conservative as Ember in that regard (still on 3.x!) but relative to React, Vue, etc things aren’t changing as quickly.
If you're dealing with a (normally small) company that generally takes care of their customers, an email like this as a conversation starter is just going to make the customer support reps lives miserable and make them not want to lift a finger for you. Save this for the companies that really deserve it.
Two key ways

1. You use their services which makes them money (e.g. you're returned good flight info and book through chatgpt, they get commission)

2. You sell access to end users. The requests can be authenticated so you can give your paying users access to your stuff through an advanced natural language engine for the implementation cost of roughly adding a file explaining your APIs.

It was a mix of cash and stock options which vested over a few years. There was a confidentiality clause in the contract so I can't be super specific. But I asked ChatGPT what a typical price per employee is in an acquihire and it gives the following answer. I'll just say that the common range it gives doesn't sound crazy to me.

> In general, the price per employee in an acquihire can range from $100,000 to over $1 million, with a more common range being between $250,000 and $500,000 per employee.

You're right but I think there are those who believe and the charlatans who take advantage of them. It's hard to reason with the mob once it's co-opted by someone who feeds into their beliefs.

As a newbie to this space, I see this mentioning PyTorch. I was looking at Whisper earlier today and, somewhat impressively, was reminded that my M1 Pro has a CPU fan. Is it realistic to think it would be a modest amount of work to install this in my local venv and use the NPU instead?
To elaborate, the soul is defined as the animating principle. In fact the words “animate” and “animal” both come from the Latin word for soul “animus.” So we don’t need to prove the existence of the soul. We don’t even need to claim that it’s substantially spirit, although I do happen to believe that makes the most sense. We simply have to say that a living thing has something that its otherwise identically configured recently inanimate remains do not.

I do find it amusing that purely materialist life scientists gave up on defining life.

Consider this writer's observation then juxtapose the crazy incident involving the Fifth Circuit Judge protest just a few day prior to publication of this article. It seems like a tale of two very different institutions. One where the students are victimized by a ruthless bureaucracy, and the other where the students are the true menace. The only common factor is a twisted administrative state.
