Find an activity which puts you in contact with good people and during which you don't think about other things. I recommend something like judo, as many times a week as you can. During the class you won't be able to think about other stuff and afterwards you'll feel better.
This sounds like selective and out-of-context quoting.

Let's see.

Yup. Let's see what he goes on to say:

"To me, it means someone who believes that there are systemic injustices in the criminal justice system, and on that basis they can decline to fully enforce and uphold the law,"

And all this was in the context, specifically, of a legal battle around a suspension, so very much tailored to that situation.

All in all, the meme that "woke is a made up term" is tiring, and no, it certainly doesn't just mean "there are systemic injustices".

"You know personally I’ve been achingly specific about my critiques of social justice politics, but fine - no woke, it’s a “dogwhistle” for racism. (The term “dogwhistle” is a way for people to simply impute attitudes you don’t hold onto you, to make it easier to dismiss criticism, for the record.) But the same people say there’s no such thing as political correctness, and they also say identity politics is a bigoted term. So I’m kind of at a loss. Also, they propose sweeping changes to K-12 curricula, but you can’t call it CRT, even though the curricular documents specifically reference CRT, and if you do you’re an idiot and also you’re a racist cryptofascist. Also nobody (nobody!) ever advocated for defunding the police, and if they did it didn’t actually mean defunding the police. Seems to be a real resistance to simple, comprehensible terms around here. Serwer is a guy who constantly demands that he and his allies be allowed to do politics on easy mode, but he’s just part of a broader communal rejection of basic self-definition and comprehensible terms for this political tendency. Also if you say things they don’t like they might try to beat you up. Emphasis on try.

If you ask these people, are you part of a social revolution?, they’ll loudly tell you yes! Yes they are! They’re going to shake society at its very foundations. Well, OK then -what do I call your movement? You reject every name that organically develops! I’ll use the name you pick, but you have to actually pick one. You can’t just bitch on Twitter every time someone tries to describe your political cohort, which again you yourself say intends to change the world. Name yourself or you will be named."

I'd like to see an end to police officers bouncing from one department to another after they've been fired (or resigned) for misconduct.

Also, I'd like to see cops held liable for settlements, not the tax payer!

Both of these can be achieved by forcing cops to carry liability insurance. The more claims they get, the higher their premiums, and eventually bad cops will be uninsurable - thus unemployment.
I can't wait for the positive feedback loop of statically trained LLMs being retrained on data that was generated from the N-1th generation of statically trained LLMs.

There's so much of talk about what these models can generate, which is cool in relation to plugins, but there's still a lot of interesting code to write, companies to build, and ideas to formulate, that an LLM cannot do on its own. If you're terrified of your software engineering job becoming at risk, I urge you to just take a beat.
Current higher level programming languages are developed for humans to develop software closer to their natural language. If in the future humans will be writing and debugging little code, these LLMs will naturally evolve to directly writing Assembly. Scary to think about, but also makes me wonder how many non-technical people cope today with the "black box" of a computer.

About twenty years ago, I had a professor explain to the class that Rational Rose would be replacing us all....yet here we still are.

This is one of those ideas that sounds like it might work, on the surface of it, but the more I think about it the worse it gets.

You're on a date that you don't really want to be on, and the person sitting across from you knows precisely how much money you make, where you got it all, and what tax write offs you have.

That's sitcom material.
Hard to say. The tools exist to do it right. We put some work into accessibility for the SPA we publish at work and it passed an audit and I’ve used it enough with a screen reader to be sure it’s OK.

My first OSS project contributions went like this:

* Start using some software that I liked

* Read the documentation and notice poor grammar, punctuation, typos etc.

* submit PR for documentation (man pages, comment lines etc.)

* get PR merged and introduced to the dev team.

* submit more small PRs that are code based (expand existing classes, add minor features) etc.

* the maintainers will generally give feedback that your code doesn't fit into style guides, linters, case conventions etc. So patch it up and get it merged.

* Now you can pretty much do whatever. Test the code on Arm64. Add new OSes to their build pipeline.

My advice: Start small. Actually talk to the maintainers.
Yeah, that's a good, fair and well-reasoned analysis. Can't argue with that. :-)
In Norway motherboard is called hovedkort. Hoved is etymologically linked to Norse hǫfuð or English head, but in this context the correct translation is main. Kort in this context means a card as derived from a chart or piece of cardboard or paper. While the term moderkort could be constructed in Norwegian, it simply does not exist. An alternative is kretskort which means circuit board, but it doesn't really relate well to a mainboard. In any case, when dealing with Norwegian or even German developers they might wrongly misconstrue their own word for mainboard, and thus contribute to the word spreading, perhaps even where it shouldn't.
I used Chef's Plate in Vancouver ~5 years ago, and it was the best meal kit service I've tried. The recipes were varied, and often had unique ingredients or garnishes that I'd never have tried otherwise. None of the meal kits in Germany match that level of quality or uniqueness.
It would make a lot of sense for a lot of others as well... Screens crack, keyboard keys pop off, batteries wear out. People will generally upgrade to a new laptop at that point. Being able to repurpose the compute/ram/storage in a stand-alone case is a great option for many old laptops.

And while many may not want the hassle, there's plenty of value for a home server with an external storage drive for a lot of people.

Except that is too limited even for a document web.
It does depend what you're learning, too. Anything practical (chemistry lab skills, for example) will need a classroom. And languages probably do too.

(If you do Deaf Studies in Trinity College, University of Dublin, one of the lectures is on Deaf Culture, Perspectives on Deafness, Working with the Deaf Community. The lecturer is himself Deaf, and will lecture in ISL. There's an interpreter present to voice the lecture for the hearing students (and to interpret any questions, of course). In third year, you lose the interpreter. By that stage, you should be fluent enough in ISL from your ISL classes to no longer need one.)

On alpaca, I've found "Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. Summarise the following text: " or "Give me a 5 word summary of the following: " to work fairly well using the 30B weights.

It's certainly nowhere close to the quality of OpenAI summarisation, just better than what I previously had locally (e.g. in summarising a family history project with transcripts of old letters, gpt-3.5-turbo was able to accurately read between the lines summarising an original poem which I found amazing).

I half wonder if the change in spelling from US -> UK makes a difference...

I'd run a test on that but I've just broken my alpaca setup for longer prompts (switched to use mainline llama.cpp, which required a model conversion & some code changes, and it's no longer allocating enough memory)
I figure that some kind of MAC sandboxing for cookies and similar credentials probably seems like a good idea. I think that macOS has something like this with per-application sandboxes, but I don't know how effective this is.

That's greater than zero. So you're already failing—and that's on top of the handicap already afforded to you for the initial setup.

I'm sorry to hear you are suffering. I have struggled with many of the things you mentioned. This will be an unpopular response on this board, but I want to share it anyway, because it's the only thing that has helped heal me and helped me find relief.

I began attending an Orthodox Christian church about four years ago. I was a staunch atheist for many years before that, but my life was falling apart and I felt I had nothing else to lose. It was strange and I had no idea what was going on, but I also felt more peaceful and couldn't wait to go back.

It hasn't been easy by any stretch of the imagination, but my whole life has been transformed in ways I never would have expected.

Again, I am sorry to hear you are suffering so deeply. I will pray for you and I hope you find peace soon. Please don't give up.
Don't forget that transformers, the basic architecture of these large language models, were introduced by Google, and many other basic building blocks were introduced by universities and research centers all over the world. So no, the outcome is not very clear, at all.

I can't believe how bad Finder is despite having to use it daily on work machine.

That one view where icons don't snap to any grid but move like pixels in a raster editor... I am baffled as to why did it ever got made, and how is it staying in every new version.
That works fine for some kinds of questions, but not for questions like "prove this group is cyclic" or "prove this function is holomorphic" - in those cases there is no answer separate from the derivation.

And those questions tend to be the hardest and most prone to bullshittery by students. Many times in exams I made up proofs that made no sense and hoped no-one would notice.

Often when given the end result of a computation students just make up some nonsense integral or something and pretend they evaluated it, even if they didn't. Not having the answer immediately at least forces an honest attempt.

Let's not kid ourselves, we were all students at one time and we know students are lazy.
If you're actually coding without external screen and keyboard then your complaints may be valid. But lots of people only buy laptops so that they can transport their work between home and office, both equipped with external screens and keyboards without having to set up 2 computers and deal with data & config synchronization...

I only look at my laptop's display and use its keyboard for coding under extraordinary circumstances when I need to do some work from somewhere else (meeting room, conference, visiting a client, on a train) and most of those times I just need to quickly fix or review something, so basically any display and keyboard will do....
Remember that "silence is violence". So even if you say nothing - that can be perceived as harmful by some people.
> Why do you think the CIA sells drugs and weapons?

Definitely plan to do so myself. Would be cool to see 3D case options for other laptop MBs... too many go to waste when the screens, keyboards or batteries die. IF one can just transplant to a case, at least get some new life. Though really need to see better work for battery recovery/recycling... The existing infrastructure for e-waste doesn't do a good job at all, mostly gets dumped in someone else's backyard instead of your own.
Thanks for the feedback! I absolutely agree, the performance hit that these new svg filters created is a bit more than I'd prefer, I'm hoping to find ways to optimize it further. If you feel like it, would you mind testing in Firefox as well? Also, does the current version at dungeonmapdoodler.com/draw work smoothly for you? I'm still trying to nail down exactly why it still runs like crap on some fairly powerful hardware, but then runs great on other slower machines. My own desktop had a 10 year old graphics card up until a month or two ago, and this ran smoothly on it, but a comparably powerful desktop with modern, but integrated graphics runs it at like 3 fps.

I don’t get the overall doom and gloom towards LLMs on the software field.

If you are a software engineer, this will output your productivity ten fold on the upcoming years. Now you don’t need to hire junior devs and can just build the product of your dreams with very limited capital.

In my opinion this technology will be as democratising as the YouTube’s early days.

Instead of worrying, learn to work with it. It will be harder for large companies/large teams to extract value from this compared to small companies/small teams.

It means competition between companies will increase but it isn’t necessarily bad for existing software engineers, especially solo founders.
For what it’s worth, reading the title and having been exposed to D&D, the orcs seemed completely appropriate. This is how many D&D adventures start (if it wasn’t obvious).
Copyright (in the US, at least) is a “natural” right. It exists, as soon as the work exists, and registration is not required. It needs to be explicitly transferred and/or assigned. There is no need to "defend" it.

There have been a lot of challenges, based on “derivative copies,” but these generally seem to be from where someone uses a photo done by someone else, in their own creative work (like the Obama "Change" poster). Some of these challenges succeed, some do not. I would assume someone extending these weights might be considered a “derivative.”

Copyright law is odd, and there’s a lot of “fuzziness,” especially with creative works.

I’ve always been a bit skeptical of applying copyright to compiled and opaque binaries, but I guess I’m in the minority.

What you've basically said is "I don't agree with your opinion, therefore you are wrong". While you may have provided justifications for your beliefs, your delivery was unnecessarily aggressive and only served to further alienate yourself from the discussion.

For what it's worth, I also despise this sort of needless UI fluff for essentially the same reason they do; it reduces usability.

> For example, in the story about the Japanese, he assumes some context from the reader: "What are they building? What is Fujitsu and what is Habitat and why does Japan need their own special version of it?" It's not even clear they're building anything technical, so I wondered, "Why do they need a client and server? And also, didn't you ever think to check their internal technical details before? What did you think would be the result?"

None of those details are important to the story. Leaving out extraneous detail is good communication.

>Needing to pay attention to the contents of the screen? What an unrealistic burden.

I know far too many people (read: common users) who quickly lose track of what's going on if their program keeps changing things. Hell, I find most people still can't keep track of tabs in a web browser (because each tab overwrites most of the window), let alone your stuff.

>feel free to offer your version of the same that would cleanly separate secondary options and sub-options so not to overwhelm the user with a laundry list of settings.

A singular, global button or toggle somewhere that permanently keeps the UI in either Simple or Advanced modes? Almost nobody needs to flick between the two back and forth. Common users only care for what will get their work done, power users always want (and can deal with) all the details.

>The point of all that "hell" is the layering and progressive refinement of the UI.

What you call "layering and progressive refinement" I call an unnecessary click and movement of UI elements that don't have to exist. The former is a waste of time, and the latter is a waste of screen real estate.
