I'm not going to lie; it took a long time to readjust, but I have, and I don't even think about it any more. The key is that everyone else is using the same thing, so it works out. I've worked my way up to maxing out the sensitivity in Battlefield 1, and I can usually place in the top 25%. To be fair, it takes a long time to really dial in your snap 180's with a mouse too. The no cheating thing helped me get over the hump. I was pretty tired of ALWAYS having at least one hacker in PC Battlefield.
We still have a ton of different ways to build cross-platform apps.
When you give the bank a $50 deposit, they put it somewhere and importantly, mark $50 on a ledger for your account. The mark in that ledger is a liability for the bank, it is money they owe you.

Say they then use that $50 to buy office paper (it's a small bank).

They then owe you $50 and have several thousand pieces of blank paper.

The thing you are tripping on is that the deposit doesn't necessarily represent something the bank actually has.
You’re forgetting the ~ 10% of tier 1 capital, and even more in other buckets…
The Prometheus Operator and Thanos projects only officially provide jsonnet libraries and example implementations, rather than Helm charts (which are provided by the community, but I detest Helm charts anyway) so I've picked up Jsonnet in the last few weeks to build our new monitoring stack and I'm really impressed.

It's a massive learning curve but it has become really powerful and flexible.

I started trying to use Tanka but found the mental model a bit strange and struggled passing parameters into environments, so I tried Kapitan instead and that has been much more productive.

The ones that have moved on are being replaced by newcomers though - as evidenced by my multiplicity of my comments on this post, I'm one of them ;)

I would agree with your appraisal of AI - at the moment, there is a much greater return-on-investment for processing vast quantities of unstructured data than there is for meticulously curating knowledge graphs. However, I think that, in time, the balance will shift to vindicate the semantic web as people desire more trustworthiness from automated systems.
Is there really a reason to use Alpine anymore? There's RedHat's UBI-minimal/micro and Ubuntu has a minimal image. Especially with Alpine's DNS weirdness in K8s environments. I feel the whole "Debian/Ubuntu bloatedness" (from the blog) is so last decade nowadays.
The CA system is just multiple points of failure instead of one. One is better.

> The white working class used to be the focus of the American left, but the left abandoned us

From World War I to the 1950s or 1960s, the idea that factory workers in Europe, or of European descent, might take over their countries, displacing the rich/capitalists/bourgeoisie, was an idea that was people took seriously, on all sides of the political spectrum. Not only would this class take over, but be the vanguard of the change.

Does anyone think this is going to happen now?

This article indicates an opinion on that question. A class of people taking power for themselves don't have to beg for pity from a coastal professional-managerial class. It would organize itself and take power.
This is like some old school prank developers would program in should the software detect it was pirated.
I really wish I could figure out the formula. I have had so many shirts that I wear for a year or two, then they're dead.

But there's this one shirt I bought back in 1999 that still now, today, looks about the same as it did then (I have photographs). I don't wear it any less than any of the other shirts. Just somehow... year after year... it remains decent.

I wish I could go custom-make 20 shirts out of the same material and with the same techniques as this shirt. I'd never need another shirt again in my life!
100% agree. They’re more deadly and contribute significantly more to climate change. For the vast majority of trips people make, SUVs are a waste of space both internally and externally (on the streets) causing more traffic.
Every non-power user I've seen actively really likes 11. It's baffling to me, I don't see how it doesn't get in the way more.
I use these two tricks to remember it.

1) Assets make the bank money (loans. interest collected), liabilities lose money (deposits. interest paid).

2) Deposits are loans the bank takes. (As in it has to pay interest to service the "debt".)

In your example a bank with $100 in deposits is paying interest on $100, but only receiving interest on $50. In the reverse it is receiving interest on $100, but only paying interest on $50. So the reverse is much more profitable for the bank.
> "its positive signal that GPT's previous outputs were correct"

Is that somehow baked into the algorithms?

Are positive words of encouragement interpreted as "positive signals" by the inference pipeline? Or do they somehow influence the attention mechanism?

Because otherwise, you're just rationalizing completely random and unpredicted behavior.
> And we already kind of have a third if you count Amazon Fire, as they run Android without Google services

Genuine question: how is that different than e.g. /e/ OS? It's not like there are tons of alternative Android SDKs. I essentially see this:

- iOS
- Android with Google Services
- Android without Google Services
- others

Of course you need to support the first two. Apparently you do support the third, which is great. But then I would think that if it works on Amazon Fire without the Google Services, it will work on a de-Googled /e/OS, CalyxOS or GrapheneOS.
You're right. Fixed wording in our README on Github, can't edit HN post. Thanks

This is a subject that gets a lot of reviewer attention and results in considerable gnashing of teeth. Yet for most users, how often do we generate many-gigabyte streams of sequential writes? It’s just not a usage pattern worthy of infinite optimization. As others have pointed out already, it’s the reads that matter. In particular, end users care about low queue depth, kind-of-random read throughout. And here, the cheapest SSD thrashes the best spinning disks.

Imho it’s a little bit like complaining that long, sequential writes to DRAM are slower than reads from L1$. It’s true, it just doesn’t matter for most of us.
> For example, if you buy a car or a house, it’s basically guaranteed that you will soon need car things and house things. Many of those things will in turn require their own things, and so on.

> We assign the label ℵ₀ to an infinite set when we want to express the property that any given element can eventually be reached in a finite time if we keep counting for long enough.

Look at your definition: “if we keep counting long enough”

You are reducing infinity to “long enough” and using that as a label for infinity.

You can’t know ahead of time that you will be able to finish without finishing.

You are saying you can know the unknown. But you won’t until you go and try to count the numbers.

You will never be able to count all the natural numbers. Regardless of what you think the formulas/symbols mean.

Math doesn’t happen by itself, it needs an interpreter to “execute the operations”. Without an operator, math is just a bunch of symbols.

The operator will never finish counting natural numbers. Or any other sequence/set/group of numbers that is infinite.
> Except getting out of it wouldn’t be as easy as calling “select_related(…)” - you’d instead just end up re-inventing an ORM.

This could be where we differ. I wouldn't propose that at all, I'd propose writing a query more appropriate for whatever part of the code contains the iteration.

Key information: this is for sequential writes.

HDDs are actually pretty good at sequential writes. Random writes show a much much bigger gap.

> press release says this is going to cost the FDIC ~20 billion. If they didn't shoulder that loss, who would have except for depositors?

I'm not familiar enough with FDIC jargon to know what this means. My guess is it's an accounting figure, incorporating the $16.5bn discount given to First-Citizens, not a cash outlay from the DIF, though the wording suggests the latter. (It may be a reference to the expected loss-sharing agreement outlay.)
"As a programmer I just copy and paste stuff from StackOverflow". This has been a meme for a long time... But SO and Google haven't killed programming jobs.

I predict (and this prediction is worth what you've paid for it), that ChatGPT and the AIs will be a good thing for programmers. If you can figure out how to work effectively with ChatGPT and Copilot and the like, smaller teams can deliver outsized results. Smaller companies can afford to do bigger things. More demand.

The Industrial Revolution didn't kill the craftsman, the craftsman started building the tooling, or designing the products or making the things that industry is bad at.

The AI is good at giving you Legos bricks. There's still a lot of room for people to plug those bricks together in new ways.

It sounds like you're in a good position, with your history, for being able to leverage the AI, because you likely know enough to be able to guide the AI when it's off in the weeds. I think that's going to become important.

My 13yo son, however, he's got a huge interest and aptitude for computers and programming, but he doesn't have the background to know when the AI is in the weeds, or when the components the AI gives him have subtle problems. Heck, he doesn't even know to ask the AI to write tests for him... This is where I'm trying to guide him.

It can still be "general" outside of those areas, it will just be prone to mistakes of common sense. So to rephrase it all tersely:

Sensory grounding isn't needed for general intelligence or for computers to be capable of "understanding" (as per the title), but it is needed for that intelligence to have what we consider common sense.

But I'm glad I got my point made. Great talk.
There's no point in defragging an SSD unless the low-level controller is doing it; the controller is always presenting a false picture of the mapping between data addresses and physical location of pages.

There's no good ZFS defragging tool, although the initial send to a new pool will accomplish that. This is just a thing for COW-style filesystems.
ChatGPT Struggles with Wordle Puzzles
90-95% sounds like a good stat, but I just checked and it doesn't support at all the main game I play for most of my gaming time. So it's very incompatible from my point of view.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1938090/Call_of_Duty_Mode...

Looking back over the previous call of duty titles, it doesn't seem to support any of them. Missing giant and popular gaming franchises like this is why I would not even be comfortable calling it 90-95% compatible.

I also checked BF 2042 which I play probably 2nd most often, same, not compatible.

And 3rd most played for me, Rainbow Sig Siege, also not compatible.

These are not exactly small games or small gaming franchises and so basically steam deck or Linux doesn't support basically any of the games I play.

Just wanted to give my perspective.

No - I'm not sure anyone outside of OpenAI knows, and maybe they only have a rough understanding themselves.

We don't even know the exact architecture of GPT-4 - is it just a Transformer, or does it have more to it ? The head of OpenAI, Sam Altman, was interviewed by Lex Fridman yesterday (you can find it on YouTube) and he mentioned that, paraphrasing, "OpenAI is all about performance of the model, even if that involves hacks ...".

While Sutskever describes GPT-4 as having learnt this "world model", Sam Altman instead describes it as having learnt a non-specific "something" from the training data. It seems they may still be trying to figure out much of how it is working themselves, although Altman also said that "it took a lot of understanding to build GPT-4", so apparently it's more than just a scaling up of earlier models.

Note too that my description of it's internal state being maintained/updated through the conversation is likely (without knowing the exact architecture) to be more functional than literal since if it were just a plain Transformer then it's internal state is going to be calculated from scratch for each word it is asked to generate, but evidentially there is a great deal of continuity between the internal state when the input is, say, prompt words 1-100 as when it is words 2-101 - so (assuming they haven't added any architectural modification to remember anything of prior state), the internal state isn't really "updated" as such, but rather regenerated into updated form.

Lots of questions, not so many answers, unfortunately!
I agree that the browser was revolutionary - but it was only really useable at home, on my wifi. The 2.5G wireless hobbled it so badly I never used it for anything more than basic info lookups. Web apps were just too painful to use and I could rarely complete an entire transaction with all the loading and back and forth. In the pre-app store era, that really mattered since the web was the only way to get anything done.
A JWT is not encrypted but signed. The payload, eyJkYXRhIjoiSGVsbG8ifQ, is just in base64. The signature probably doesn’t match.

It looks like GPT-4 returned a very common JSON {"data":"hello"} in base64 with some random and wrong signature.

Did you ask for a JWT before in the context ? It’s weird that it didn’t provide a JWE document.

I'd love to see what flash chips the cheap drives are using. I expect at least some of them to be Micron chips, which is the same chips used in the Crucial drive. I would be very amused if one of them was using Spectec, which is the brand Micron uses for their lowest binned chips.

My best friends and I moved apart after college. I've only seen them a few times since. We keep in touch over Discord. One of them is active on HN. (Hi!) It's not easy when we live on opposite coasts.

When there are months between physical contact it gets very lonely. I've got so starved of meaningful social interaction that I had to fly home to my parents just to get a hug. Coworkers and random people from meetups just felt empty. Escaping for a single day was enough to keep me going until I found a better place to work and live.
I'm missing the purpose of this.
Among major economies the US is the only one besides South Korea where suicide rates have increased since 1997. See graph[1] from this paywalled story [2]. More impressionistically the Irish, British and Australian press don’t talk about deaths of despair. Less impressionistically there’s no evidence for them outside the the US[3].

> 'Deaths of despair' on the rise in the US: Why here and not in other nations?

> Mortality rates in the United States have increased, with suicide and poisoning by alcohol and drugs significantly contributing to the increase, alongside the cardiovascular effects of rising obesity.
The causes of despair-related deaths involve factors such as increased isolation and people’s attempts to use substances to satisfy a lack of dopamine in the brain.
Some experts suggest that the United States should look at how other countries support the human life cycle and adopt these policies to help prevent despair-related deaths.

> Also, games

If you're saying that games work better than windows that they do in Linux I'd have to say that this is changing very quickly.

The proton layer is really changing the game on that. And it seems like many companies like Google will be moving to running applications in that environment. I could see The day where this leads to companies developing native applications for Linux.
The cost part Quora gets really well, I have no problem with that. Since Soviet Roubles were worthless money anyway, it did not matter how much you paid for that.

What it does not say though, is that housing supply was extremely poor. There was extreme lack of decent housing, and people could be easily on a 10+ year wait list (as my parents were). There was practically only government provided houses (e.g. apartments), you could not buy land to build your house yourself (all land was nationalized and belonged to "people", i.e. government). So your option was to wait until you were given one. There was also virtually no secondary housing market, you could not buy an apartment since the supply was so low.
So while you waited for the gift from government, you either lived with your parents (if they had place), lived in "kommunalka" (shared apartment where each family got one room but shared kitchen, bathroom etc with other families), or rented a room from whomever you could find (which was not legal actually because it was deemed private entrepreneurship which was not allowed). Was not fun, believe me.
No, there is no defragmentation for ZFS, unfortunately. A way to get around that is to send the pool's content to another (fresh) ZFS pool, where it would be written sequentially. But for that you would need a set of drives of same (or larger) capacity.

There are ideas on how one would do an actual defrag. They are generally based on a concept called block pointer rewrite, which Matt Ahrens once said could be the 'last feature ever implemented in ZFS', as it would make everything so much more complicated, that it would be hard to add new features afterwards [1].

Mostly, there's still some slippage of some but for the most part we estimate accurately and pad a bit for testing and unexpected side-effects. I've used retrospectives to get better at estimating things and are honest about how well we did with respect to the timelines. Either we missed the timeline because we didn't understand the lift or we shaved the features of delivery to match the timeline.

We monitor our velocity and adjust accordingly.

There is no "left" in the US, not in mainstream politics anyway.

The words needed to have a sensible political discussion are ill-defined and only add noise. I'm afraid it's beyond repair: we need a new vocab to discuss social issues, or we will never have the discussion at scale (and are doomed to live under capitalism until the collapse into autoritrianism).
