Even just finetuning these models, they will pick up on the weirdest things a human wouldn't see, and artificial datasets will contain all kinds of invisible artifacts that further "inbreeding" is going to massively amplify.

I am not speaking speculatively either. I have seen it happen finetuning ESRGAN on previous upscales that I even personally vetted as "good," and these generative models are way more sensitive than the old GANs.
It shouldn't be preinstalled, but it should be easy to find professionally reviewed applications for the most common user application categories. Android's Google Play Store has "editor's choice" for example. If Ubuntu is trying to be THE desktop linux, this is something they should be doing.
Cost aside, I wonder how far you can get with something like a managed newsql database (Spanner, CockroachDB, Vitess, etc.) and serverless.

Most providers at this point offer ephemeral containers or serverless functions.

Does a product focused, non infra startup even need k8s? In my honest opinion people should be using Cloud Run. It’s by far Google’s best cloud product.

Anyway, going back to the article - k8s is hard if you’re doing hard things. It’s pretty trivial to do easy things using k8s, which only leads to the question - why not use the cloud equivalents of all the “easy”things? Monitoring, logging, pub/sub, etc. basically all of these things have cloud equivalents as services.

The question is, cost aside, why use k8s? Of course, if you are cost constrained you might do bare metal, or a cheaper collocation, or maybe even a cheap cloud like DigitalOcean. Regardless, you will bear the cost one way or another.

If it were really so easy to use k8s to productionize services to then offer as a SaaS, everyone would do it. Therefore I assert, unless those things are your service, you should use the cloud services. Don’t use cloud vms, use cloud services, and preserve your sanity. After all, if you’re not willing to pay someone else to be oncall, that implies the arbitrage isn’t really there enough to drive the cost down enough for you to pay, which might imply it isn’t worth your time either (infra companies aside).

This is an unfortunate decision by the UK.

Depleted uranium armor piercing rounds appear to be net superior to all other alternatives, including tungsten rounds. However, the UK was and is aware of the potential propaganda blow-back, as they decided that the shells for the export market should be made out of tungsten (see [1], L28A1).

Of course Russia will claim this stuff is a form of nuclear weapons. Why wouldn't they? Disinformation is what they do best. You can try to fight disinformation with truth, but it's an uphill battle. In this particular case, Russia can point out at how much criticism the Bush administration received for using depleted uranium rounds in Iraq, criticism coming from American people. Just take a look at this article [2] from The Guardian.

I'm fairly certain I was walking for longer. I should have been clear on that point. I would have claimed only an hour or so, as I did at the start. But thinking on it, there is no way that is accurate. I was almost certainly walking 3-4 hours many days.

Even now, when "biking season" starts back up and I get out there, I'll be on the bike 1.5 hours or so. Every day if I can stick to it. Not shockingly, I lose a fair bit of weight during that time. Even without trying to do sprints or anything.
I enjoyed playing chess on my phone during gaps (train commute, or else). It was a good blend of distraction and strategy.
> One generally says one kelvin per 100m elevation

That's not true in Europe nor Asia nor South America nor Africa, although I didn't climb mountains specifically in Greenland to be factual. Better value is cca 0.6C per 100m, or 6C per 1km (sorry, no conversion to feet/yard vs F and similar fun games for lazy sunday afternoon... seriously, with all the love, fix this shit guys, we are not living in 15th century when similar stuff was common and accepted).

It depends on many factors including humidity and local meteorology.

That part discussed about moving surface down doesn't make sense - you can lower glacier only to base rock/soil level. But at this level, where glacier starts, its already the dreaded temperature they want to avoid, so glaciers should be melting from the bottom with this logic. If they mean that once ice melts the rock temperature rises well yeah, that's a no brainer, its a different surface. Ice has surface temperature below/around 0, any rock hit with sun can easily surpass that even during winter.

I know reality is more complex out there, one of my todos is to have sleepover (no tent) on nearby Mer de Glace in Chamonix, France. Just me, gazillion stars, mountains crumbling around me and glacier cracking beneath my ass.
That sounds dangerous to free software/open source as a whole. Firstly, it's obviously not the status quo of how most people operate. Secondly, if they manage to win that claim in court it could encourage others to do the same.

"I'm not paying for the privilege of..."

Edit: A continuation of the above but paraphrased from my previous comment: ...being allowed to step over this ridiculous barrier to implement these fixes myself on my own device.
* Be willing to write your own tools from scratch. Once you get comfortable with this you have become the cliche 10x developer.

* Keep a list of your favorite small automation solutions handy. Let this be your Swiss Army Knife (Dr. Who screwdriver)

* Use a single function with dynamic dispatch pattern to manage all micro-services at each separate runtime of your application. Everything can be managed, distributed, and monitored from a single location like a network switch.

* Take the extra time and keystrokes to write code defensively. If you want to be fast that means continuously moving forward and not regressing. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

* Invest in test automation early. If it executes slowly, its worse than irrelevant. I have my browser test automation for my application down to 7-9 seconds for just under 300 points of evaluation.

* Over prioritize application execution speed. If its slow for you it will be slow for your users. The slower it gets the more distracted, as a developer, you will become and the less you will accomplish. (I got my personal OS GUI to load in the browser as fast as 80ms on old hardware).

* De-prioritize large frameworks and reliance on third party libraries where possible. Consider this luggage at the airport. You have to always carry it with you, which limits your mobility and constricts your freedom of movement. Worse, it eliminates your ability to pivot and experiment.

> doesn't happen as advertised.

But there will be a small transformation:

* More busy work will be automated taking away some of the fun and leaving the harder tasks thus making jobs shittier, pushing workers to find other kinds of work.

* More solutions on AI looking for problems will be implemented increasing the speed of success/failure, and from the lottery winner effect we can expect "the granny that created an AI solution and earned millions" that other devs will follow and fail leaving debts.

Oh that’s a funny read. Somehow 2023 is the closest we’ve ever been to global catastrophe? I’m not saying it’s out of the question this year but those jokers really think now is worse than at any point in the cold war? Really? Well you know what they say about broken clocks…

Industrial revolution was funded by the colonies, both in providing resources and the market for the finished goods. For instance, the British starved the local textile industry in Bengal (which had accounted to 30% of global textile market) by exporting the raw cotton back home and dumping the products in India.
The headline is talking about a point of no return for a specific threshold or feedback loop, and there seem to be no end of those, for decades to come. As for the "we're fucked" point of no return, we'll still need to first precisely define it.
Also at this point, very few of the biggest players are going to tell us anything about which matters most and those fine tuning numbers can represent a huge strategic advantage. Forcing your competitors to spend billions in hardware and time can put you far ahead of them quickly, at least at our current rate.
I expect this, too. Scammers are gonna scam.
Funny, I don't feel this way at all - Encanto is probably one of my favourite recent disney films, I must have seen it 100 times now(partially because of my kid watching it all the time, but that's the funny thing - despite pretty much knowing every single line by heart now, I still like it. The story is good and the songs are great).

Turning Red is equally great - as someone who has also grown up in the 90s the film just gets so much right, it's a delight to watch. The story turns into absolute nonsense by the end but meh, the joy of watching teenagers figure out how to get money for a concert they want to go to is worth it.
AFAIK it's still an active area of research, and evidence from Meta AI [0] suggests that size and quality of data can let smaller (not necessarily less sophisticated) models do amazing things.

But a lot of the advancements we're seeing right now are the result of more sophisticated models [1], and one person is doing some interesting work [2] around achieving transformer-level performance with other architectures.

So it's not completely settled if more data is the answer. But it has a significant impact.

Absolutely, and it's the GNOME camp where this awful excessively padded user interface style is coming from, and spreading across the platform to other desktop environments. Personally, I gave up on modifying the CSS theme files for GTK3 to reduce the ugliness - I made it just barely tolerable, but not any better than that.
A disappointment in the hype cycle isn't equivalent to AI winter. The hype cycle always, eventually, hits a trough, even with wildly successful products.

It's very likely we'll be disappointed with AI in many oversold contexts (I share the sentiment about self-driving cars), but it can't be denied that ChatGPT is a product that's being used _right now_ to massive success and still has quite a ways to go.
I did not verify this regex, on the very surface scan seems OK:

Here is a handy short form regex to validate an email address:
^([a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-z\.]{2,6})+$
The first character can be either uppercase or lower case. The second group must contain at least one letter and the third group may contain any number of characters (up to 5). The last part ensures that it ends with @ followed by two more letters separated by dots.
If you want to make sure that your input string contains only valid characters for emails then use this regex instead:
\A[\w.]@[\w.]\.\w{1,4}\z

This isn't a categorical imperative. This is a decision for this individual situation. By "doomsday" I mean, an economic doomsday for privileged people like me who have had a pretty good ride for a while, not a literal doomsday for everyone. I also don't see any way of possibly stopping this.
Make is in POSIX, so stick to POSIX features and your Makefile is portable across all reasonable systems. For Windows, I guess you use a .bat file.
There is nearly an unlimited amount of training data. As of so far models have been eating up text. We still have sound, image, video, temperature, gravimetrics, and other sources that we can feed multimodal models. And that's not even including training models from learning from the world itself.

Ad absurdum that would make assembly a better choice — we can just as well reason about better register allocation strategies.

I think the fundamental abstraction level is very important to get right. Of course it depends on the problem domain, and it might just make sense for Zig to expose explicitly allocators everywhere, but maybe some implicitly passed allocator when not otherwise specified could be a better trade off (correct me if it is a thing)
Perhaps put more simply, operating in production has a lot of intrinsic complexity that will probably surface in the tooling, and if you constantly reinvent to "fix" the complexity you'll eventually end up putting up it back.

That's how you end up with the modern javascript tooling hellscape where it looks like no one was around to tell a bright young developer "no"

The main reason I still use Make over other alternatives is that everyone already has it. No need to install something else to bootstrap a project. I put in a `make initialize` that takes care of everything: setting up the virtualenv, using our internal pip mirror, downloading dependencies, etc. It's just such low friction!

Side note: Make is also really popular among self-hosters for ansible infrastructure setup.
I really like Tyme for time tracking. It works quite well for me, is dirt cheap, has a great UX across both my iphone and my macbook and gives me flexibility around start and end times so it's easy to keep it roughly accurate.

That said, I don't use it for detailed task observation. For example while writing this my "management" timer is running and this is definitely not managing my team. I use it for directionality more than anything else.

You're not really thinking about it as a "mac app", but rather "the service". You expect it to act like the service you use on other platforms with all the features you rely on.

If I'm using Spotify, I don't think "oh this doesn't use windows navigation component from winUI", I immediately know where the genre categories are because I've already used it on android or linux and expect it to be there. I know exactly how to add a song to my library, to shift around playlists, to manage folders, everything is as I learned it on [other platform].

Design development becomes this duplicated burden where every feature now has to go through the ringer twice (or more) to fit native components for their respective platforms. When you hit limitations on those native components, you're now having to make the decision to either hold back the feature entirely, or create fragile workarounds.

In an alternate timeline native components would have had far greater appeal, where people actually hate and boycott apps designed otherwise. But we don't. Even on iOS or mac, people regularly rely on apps that only vaguely interpret their native components. The situation is even worse on windows past 7, where the idea of a "windows app" is so jumbled there is nothing to "expect" from the experience - which is actually part of why I think these unified app designs have really taken off.
