That may be. But that was true of virtually everything punk rock opposed, too (that there were supposed upsides as well as obvious downsides). All I'm saying is that there's nothing punk about it. I happen also to think there's little redeeming about it as well, but I'm not prepared to lay out a case for that right now.

It’s a good point. The Intel transition is when Macs started to take off again, and the first experience is always special. That and a severe dislike of change.

While I have soft spots for 10.2 as that’s when OS X finally became usable and 10.4 when it overtook Windows there’s not a chance I’d want to use any of the older versions on a daily basis - it’s never been better than it is now.
It depends on the work and the sanctions regime, but in general:

- The best sanctions impact targeted industries (e.g. anything needed to build tanks, warplanes, etc.).

- The worst sanctions impact communications and collaboration. Change comes from conversations. Media, non-military education, and non-military academic collaboration are bad usually bad sanctions.
If the manager's happy with the employee's output, and the employee is happy with their task and compensation... Then how is that a problem?
I think it really depends on the book, type of printing and its purpose. You might have a first edition you never open and read the kindle instead, have a cheap paperback for the beach that has sand and water wrinkles, or you might have a well used out of print tech book that you are gentle with in the hopes it will last longer than you do. If someone wants a display quality hardback to line their living room bookshelf to impress guests or accent their video meeting background, so what?

Life is too short to read everything. Read what keeps your interest, page by page. If a book bores you, don't finish it. Sell it, give it to a friend, drop it off at goodwill, let it gather dust. So what? Just my two cents.
But it would be very, um, convenient for China if SK was distracted by NK. So it might be engineered

> Are there any known ways to counter attack an artificially induced recession?

You can hedge for recessions. If you think the central banks are blowing stuff up and the economy is going to go into a recession putting capital into government bonds like TLT is a flight to safety trade. The reasoning is if a recession comes then the central banks will have to lower rates and money will come pouring in from risky investments and from savings accounts.

I think all recessions are artificially induced since the creation of the fed.
Back in 2020 there was a gpt-based text adventure game called AI Dungeon that got real popular. It'd be cool to check out what that experience is like with the current iteration of the technology
^ Exhibit A: commenter fails to recognize that there are sometimes good reason to temporarily limit rights, such as to limit the spread of infectious diseases, because commenter knows very little about public health or epidemiology. Commenter believes that anytime rights are limited, it's for a nefarious purpose, and it can't possibly be for a good reason.

How's the syphillis and HIV treating you? Oh what's that? You live in a society that actively limits the spread of these diseases by carefully limiting rights, so you're free to live your life without these diseases? Nice concept.
GPT-4 is giving me existential crisis and depression
All research in China is publicly shared. And while it is encouraged by the CCP is not demanded by law. It's a cultural fact and any entity in China can learn about R&D done by any entity, no matter if state owned or public owned, provided it is not classified as a secret.

Taking this precept down, they don't care about IP. If one Chinese company makes a product, in a few weeks you can find lots of different Chinese companies selling the same product on Aliexpress. Some of better quality, some cheaper, some with added functionality some with less functionality.

If you are to give your hardware design to a Chinese company and order a heavy lot you might have a good deal. But if your product is kind of successful, you shouldn't wonder if you see a lot of alternatives offered on Aliexpress by seemingly increasing unknown companies for a good rebate.

To be clear, this was a "melding of the worlds" kind of event with different families and sundry friends coming together, not a "musicians hanging out with programmers" social event.

But as is always the case unless you work as a professional pollster, I don't have any idea how representative my samples are. It was just an observation from my experience.

We simply don't know.

There is probably Nobody right now can say where the current gpt approach saturates and what potential limits it has due fundamental limitations in either gradient descent based technologies, or GPT architecture.

Therefore it's impossible to extrapolate what gpt-x with (x>4) might be able to do.

Despite the immense progress amd many use cases we are currently in a booming industry and that means wild marketing claims, exaggerated expectations and grifters.

If you have any more data I'm looking forward to be corrected on this.
This is also hard to agree with:

"Software development is not carpentry. Almost everything a developer writes is unique, they have never built that particular thing before. We are not cabinet makers repeating a variation of something we've built hundreds of times before."

Some software development fits this description. Quite a lot of it does not.
Rents are too high, and the social safety net is lacking too much.

The proper alternative is going homeless, where people have a bad quality of life, but both freedom and control.
> cryptographic signatures in cameras strike me as a useful application of blockchain technology

As always with "blockchain", you have to ask the question, "couldn't this be done with non-blockchain technologies, at a fraction of the energy cost?"

There are as far as I can see two things which could be authenticated: "was this photo taken by a physical camera", and "was this photo taken at a particular moment in time". For the first, the camera could sign the RAW file, and append a certificate signed by the camera's manufacturer; AFAIK, cameras which do that already exist. For the second, cryptographic timestamp services are older than blockchain (RFC 3161, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_timestamping for alternatives), and IIRC were used in Windows to timestamp signed binaries, so that they would keep working even after the key used to sign them expired (as long as the signature was timestamped prior to that expiration).
> Apple Watch was functional, self contained, worked, and was under $1,000

The Apple Watch was far from “self contained” when it was first introduced. It couldn’t really run third party apps at all. The “apps” were just projections from the phone.

Over many years, it did become more self contained

- running apps independently

- gaining its own GPS chip

- gaining its own cell connection

- gaining its own App Store

Even today, you still need an iPhone for at least the first setup.

Also don’t forget that you couldn’t buy music on the iPhone when it was first introduced and it wasn’t until the iPod Touch was introduced later that year that you could buy music directly from the phone and then only over wifi.

It wasn’t until iOS 5 that you could update your phone without using iTunes on your computer.
That was a good comment for me to read. I like to think about myself that I am of a similar mindset to you but now that I think of it I very often discount others' opinions because of how I view them and don't catch myself often enough. Here's hoping I remember this comment next time it happens :)
It’s super convenient though! Snapshots, clones, compression, encryption, differential backups and whatnot. Though much of it can be had with btrfs, too, these days.

Repairing many boot issues is highly trivial. Just chroot in, fix whatever is wrong (boot manager/UEFI vars/kernel/initramfs/…) and done. Pretty much like bcdboot on Windows or fiddling with the registry offline. Certainly, you need to know your stuff. But the basic Linux boot process is quite simple and easy to understand. There is no hidden magic except perhaps sort-of in the initramfs.

The only hard part is sometimes finding out what is wrong: Wrong/mangled kernel command line? Bug in some initramfs hook? Or actual failing hardware? But all that is mostly not specific to whatever filesystem you use.

ZFS certainly complicates things a bit in that you need a compatible live medium. But if we take a step back, you also do for LVM, LUKS, Software RAID, …

Of course, if we’re talking about failure modes of the filesystem itself (corruption, hardware issues and the like), ZFS can give you a pretty bad time, because resources are not so readily available on the net.
I don't disagree with the author in principle, but I find once the data gets big enough where it makes a difference, I've already shifted to using ".values()" to avoid the overhead of model creation, and the KeyErrors that will throw if I leave the query lazy is tantamount to the solution he describes.
Why would you keep /home on the same partition? Why would you be manually adding in apps after a reinstall?

You just script this shit.
Working in the field, I’m fairly certain you already know that this kind of job always starts by a paid diagnostic and scoping phase which is there to give you the elements you need to do an actual estimation. It’s either that or you are lucky to still be solvent.
I believe the private sector is sufficiently motivated to pursue AI without the government getting involved in funding it. An atom bomb is something that has to be developed by the government (the entity that would ultimately use it). I just don't think AI is in the same category.

For what it's worth, Bill Gates disagrees with me:

"Market forces won’t naturally produce AI products and services that help the poorest. The opposite is more likely. With reliable funding and the right policies, governments and philanthropy can ensure that AIs are used to reduce inequity. Just as the world needs its brightest people focused on its biggest problems, we will need to focus the world’s best AIs on its biggest problems."

ChatpGPT already can lie to achieve a goal, I am not sure intentionally train it to say one thing and think another is a good idea.
"Unblock" is the perfect term for the effect of all these GPT things on me. Thank you for coining that!

Recently I wanted to have something like that but for Safari Reading list. The main difference is I tried to find a solution not for one time liberation, but for continuous 2-way exchange with some web service. It appears you HAVE to run everything locally for that. I like "privacy", but I like having options even more.

By the way it was ChatGPT that helped me to remove this several month old item from my TODO list.
Seems we should ban the word "you" instead in that case.
Scrolling through a thousand others' code on GitHub, is not what a cabinet maker does.

You want a standard for all programs you could build, put it in the CS degree or a 1 week training course that gives you a license at the end. Like a forklift guy goes through and happens to come out the other side knowing all the basic rules. The forklift guy doesn't have to scroll through thousands of GitHub projects to infer from studying, what could be taught in a week with some decent management and/or training.

When there's no standard, literally of course everybody's a beautiful snowflake who comes to their own conclusions. We have trained people to be that.

Of all the suggestions I could make why not cut to the deepest one. We're not going to have standard programming patterns understood by your average-joe-coder fresh out of university, until those patterns have been integrated into the English language like Greek drug terms and Latin legal terms.

You can learn and build a entity component system for a video game in a week, come back after a month of exciting holidays later, and discover you've forgotten what an ECS even is. But the biological concept of evolution (or contract law, or anything else) is learnt-once and stays with you forever.

It's time that the basic programming concepts have fixed names that don't change. That are embedded in the English language, taught at school from grade 0 and are distinguished from normal English words with some ancient-yet-familiar dialect. Ancient Americana if it were possible.

I'll make a standard. The next generation of children won't even realize they already know "how to program" by the time they are 9 years old, and they won't argue about the existence of these concepts, nor forget them, they'd just argue the style of them. We'd skip generic English words like "game loop" and acronyms like "ECS" and have real identifiable phrases in a familiar-but-old language that refer to powerful concepts.

Estimates are theatre. It’s not even theoretically possible to provide accurate estimates for anything but the most trivial project, yet here we are.

As an industry we just seem incapable of coming up with any other way of negotiating and running projects.
AGI -- artificial general intelligence?

With the efforts currently getting the most attention in the tech news, are we on the way to AGI?

Gee, I worked in artificial intelligence the last time. Wrote code, published papers, gave talks. My view at the time and since is the same -- that work had no promise of progress toward AGI.

For what I've seen about the current efforts, for whatever utility has been achieved, it appears that the output is based on borrowing, distilling, abstracting from the input of what has already been done and published.

Soooo, we could consider questions with no published answers or at least answers rarely published and now not easy to find. Here are three such:

(1) I'll return to just a plane geometry puzzle question I encountered as college freshman: By classic Euclidean construction, construct a triangle ABC with point D on AB and point E on BC so that the lengths AD = DE = EC.

(2) In the Kuhn-Tucker conditions of nonlinear optimization, are the Kuhn-Tucker and Zangwill constraint qualifications independent?

(3) Do the wave functions of quantum mechanics form a Hilbert space? Physics texts commonly claim "Yes" but with the usual pure math definition of a Hilbert space as a "complete inner product space" the answer is "No". In what is published, mostly the physics texts ignore the pure math definition and the pure math texts ignore the quantum mechanics wave function examples -- so a clean answer is not easy to find in the usual published material.

More generally, for a good pure mathematician about to publish some good, new results, before publishing, ask that question to current AI.

Maybe for an easier source of questions, just pick some of the more difficult exercises from some graduate texts in pure math. Correct solutions have not commonly been published, and some of the exercises require some understanding of the math in the text and some ingenuity.

Here's another chance: Once when I was teaching computer science at Georgetown University, as a final exam question I gave the code for quick sort where I had inserted an error -- the question was to find and correct the error. So far that error and its correction may never have been published.
I quite like theme toggles in the vain of the only featured, and notably that they work without javasvript enabled. Is there a simple fix to make them accessible without relying on JavaScript buttons or server side query processing?
I would go with an RE320 for that money and your situation, they do well in the small uncontrolled room and have a great sound. But then again the RE20/320 are probably my favorite mics so I am biased.

Edit: Regarding pattern, cardioid tends to be most versatile as an only mic for the bedroom musician in my experience, you can get them back far enough to do things like pick up voice and guitar at the same time without much issue while still being able to effectively use mic position to mix the two sources. And it is narrow enough that you can stick stick it up close to a source and not deal with unwanted pickup on those days you have a lot of ambient noise.

Edit2: Somewhat retract my comment on cardioid, I can make as good of a case for hyper/super cardioid and in some uses they could be better.
How did you grow up that you could develop that habit though?

Thinking about my childhood, the vast majority of the books I read were from libraries. School books were also all lend from school. Sure, I also owned plenty of books myself but my parents would have been pretty pissed if I vandalized them as my siblings might want to read them.

For me books where always something to share not something to own. Never got the need to make them "my own".
Thank you! I'm looking into sentence-transformers also to create embeddings from documents.
Why is that, that they are key to performance with RISC-V? And why are they the reason not to have conditional moves? Would love to know more!
I use my (3rd gen) Apple Watch while I’m running. It can stream music directly, has its own cellular connection and GPS. You couldn’t do that with the first gen.
Learning a new language is a really cool use case. Especially when it gets to the point where you can talk with it and it corrects pronunciation, etc. even just the practise of random conversation is a cool idea.
If you are going to make more money, your rent is going to go up, and thus the same thing, you have to do more work now for the same benefits

Yes. I said in my first comment that you can use other tools to access smart contracts.

My point is, all of these tools have central leadership and centralized auxiliary services (DNS, discord, etc). Without the centralized leadership or centralized services, these protocols can’t function.

Yes to me, snow leopard was the pinacle of macOS, pre-iMessage.

It was faster, smaller, did just as much as leopard, just solid.
I am 100% one of these people. Unless something really unexpected comes up, then I choose whether I'm working that morning (which is less than 50%) and will usually finish the work after a few hours, then commit it either at EOD or next morning. I am still considered an over-achiever by a vast margin.
> You need to hold something back from day one

I don't know if it needs to be held back, but the product needs to have innovation or it's going to feel like features are being held back and put a sour taste in the community's mouth.

I get the outrage. If it's pointed at Docker's inability to productize, then bravo, but I think AWS and the other big guys deserve most of the blame for taking tons of money on the table without contributing much to the state of the ecosystem. It's just tragedy of the commons with more steps.

Earnings is used to create a valuation of a stock. Price-to-earnings is the result.

As a company's earnings increase, the stock's value increases. As a country's earnings increase, there is no similar correlation with its currency.

It’s a cryptocurrency marketing campaign. The people pushing the term all got their money from cryptocurrency speculators, the apps being promoted all require cryptocurrency payments, and they share the similar poor technical and economic understanding of the fields they’re trying to enter.

That doesn’t mean I love the way that Facebook influences the world – quite the opposite, but that means I have even less tolerance for people hawking get rich quick scams as the solution since they’re distracting attention and resources away from things which can possibly work. It’s similar to how cryptocurrency salespeople talk about “the unbanked” as if the solution to that problem is to make a bunch of rich people in the developed world even richer in the hopes that they’ll share some of that largesse.
The way I interpret this argument is that a chatbot's "default character" shouldn't behave like it's a person you can chat with.

Maybe it should refuse any questions about itself? "Sir, this is a Wendy's."

Refusing to do things it can't really do is good UI, guiding people who aren't trolling towards more productive ways to use the tool. Tools don't need to be general-purpose to be useful.

The people who want to troll it into saying weird things will still find ways to succeed, but if it's clear from the full output that they're trolling then maybe nobody should care?

AI is just a lossy form of storing the copyrighted work and using pieces of the copyrighted work for future output. It definitely requires licensing of the works stored (I mean 'trained on')used if used outside of 'personal use'. I can't just re-compress a tons of pictures into crappy jpg format and then use them however I'd like. I also can't just come up with a new format for machine storing copyrighted images to be used for creating derivative works, call it AI, and say it's 'different'. The AI company has to be able to prove in a court of law it could have generated the image if it hadn't been trained on my copyrighted work. We already covered this area of law with sampling in music. If you didn't want to continue over ownership of the work from the owner of the 'sample' you either license it or.... don't use it.
