I wonder how many thousands (millions?) of man-hours of lost productivity over the world the Github SSH debacle resulted in. Not only for teams to fix the issue in a build pipeline no one touched for several years, but also the lost productivity for teams build/deploy pipelines to break, etc.
I never said linux can't be used to play games.
These sensors are becoming increasingly popular in the home automation space, replacing traditional PIR sensors because, unlike PIR sensors they can still detect someone even if they're sitting relatively still (just breathing can be enough to trigger one!). I just wish my office would add them, the lights are always turning off on me.
I'm faintly reminded of RFC1751 [1] (and the associated RFC1760 [2] that contains the relevant word list), a scheme I still see used in various products to quickly compare crypto fingerprints.

(Although including the word "cock" on the word list may not have been the best idea, given how much it opens up the scope for humorous or offensive word sequences - but this was almost 30 years ago).

I know it's not the same, but both of these games can be played on cloud gaming (Geforce Now).

I have a subscription to GFN, not to play games not supported on Linux but to play on max specs without needing an expensive rig, and both Genshin Impact and Fortnite are supported there.

Anyway, it's never going to be a full drop-in replacement. Like you can't just replace your XBOX with a Playstation and play the same games. But still, Linux is a very valid option even for gaming.
Why wouldn't you expect price increases to continue?
Why not just use 'person' rather than 'man'?
The only place I really use windows is at work, so I'm not at liberty to install additional applications unfortunately.

I did manage to enable follow focus a while ago, but it didn't behave as I was used to (I don't remember the details), so I disabled it.
Yes, if you mean how much profit does the farmer make I think you are spot on.

Pricing fluctuates with the season, variety but from the data I've seen a farmer in the US might sell to the distributor at $2/kg, but after paying all their costs (packaging, labour, energy, supplies, depreciation) the pre-tax profit might be around $0.16/kg - so 8%, and that's probably a pretty good year! It's a low margin, high volume kind of business.
Django's ORM is much better than most, to the point where Django considers that "I can't model this query with the ORM" to be a bug.

There are of course some mismatches, but it's pretty hard to have a query that is not at all modelable, and Django's ORM is ... fairly predictable (I have some gripes about how obvious or not joins are but it's subjective).
Yes, because those HW bugs are at the origin, SW bugs.

I heard that the last processor where they still used VLSI by hand was DECs ALPHA. Now everything comes from HDL synthesis so bugs are common.
Ok, so as the link is some slides with a bunch of bullet points and a handful of images, I am going to be limited in my understanding of this in many of the same ways that my (aforementioned limited) understanding suggests that LeCunn is saying that LLMs are limited.

So: factual errors/hallucinations (or did I?), logical errors, lacking "common sense" (a term I don't like, but this isn't the place for a linguistics debate on why).

So if I understand, then I don't understand; and if I don't understand then I have correctly understood.

I wonder why you can't get past the paradoxes of Epimenides and Russell by defining a state that's neither true nor false and which also cannot be compared to itself, kinda like (NaN == NaN) == (NaN < NaN) == (NaN > NaN) == false? I assume this was the second thing someone suggested as soon as mere three-state-logic was demonstrated to be insufficient, so an answer probably already exists.

Hmm.

Anyway, I trivially agree that LLMs need a lot of effort to learn even the basics, and that even animals learn much faster. When discussing with non-tech people, I use this analogy for current generation AI: "Imagine you took a rat, made it immortal, and trained it for 50,000 years. It's very well educated, it might even be able to do some amazing work, but it's still only a rat brain."

Although, obvious question with biology is how much of default structure/wiring is genetic vs. learned; IIRC we have face recognition from birth so we must have that in our genes; I'd say we also need genes which build a brain structure, not necessarily visual, that gives us the ability to determine the gender of others because otherwise we'd all have gender agnostic sexualities, bi or ace, rather than gay or straight.

But, a demonstration proof learning can be done better than it is now doesn't mean the current system can't do it at all. To make that claim is also to say that "meaning and understanding" of quantum mechanics, or even simple 4D hypercubes, is impossible because the maths is beyond our sensory grounding.

I was going to suggest that it makes an equivalent claim about blind people, but despite the experience of… I can't remember his name, born blind (cataracts?) surgery as an adult, couldn't see until he touched a money statue or something like that… we do have at least some genetically coded visual brain structures, so there is at least some connection to visual sensory grounding.

And of course, thinking of common sense (:P) there are famously 5 senses, so in addition to vision, you also have balance, proprioception, hunger, and the baroreceptors near your carotid sinus which provide feedback to your blood pressure control system.

>Why isn’t semantic web more popular inside companies?

Because it offers no protection against some team inside the company breaking the whole web by moving to a different URI or refactoring their domain model in incompatible ways. A department pays for some subgraph tailored to their needs and they are not interested in financing this for the whole org.

Industrial companies use master data management systems, they are centralized and are considered the single source of truth, everyone else builds on them.
Yep, the Celeron 300A: https://www.anandtech.com/show/174/3
At the point you create the data, you don't have link rot. At the point you create the link rot, you don't notice it. At the point you notice it, you don't have time to fix it. At the point you try to fix it, you don't have a full list of rotten links. And those who keep starting the cycle by creating links don't care that ends up this way because there's no immediate impact on their silo.

Thus to fix it, you need an organisation-level project, but it's hard to identify what business value you get from it.

Minecraft would be a pretty good medium for finding out the answer to this question actually.

Stick a multimodal LLM thats already got language into Minecraft, train it up and leave it to fend for itself (it will need to make shelter, find food, not fall off high things etc).

Then you could use the chat to ask it about its world.
They could reintroduce their own currency after leaving. Montenegro is using the Euro despite not being part of the EU or Eurozone. They can switch to other currency if they want to.
Definitely! I remember seeing an old picture of a physical three dimensional plot about theoretical airliner efficiency. X axis was speed, Y axis was something else and Z axis was efficiency. I think it was made of wooden shapes. There were two local maxima there, one subsonic and one supersonic. Probably it was related to the US SST project.

Can't find the picture anymore...
It's just a tiny, tiny fraction of the productivity gained by using platforms like Github.

The phoneme 'th' does not exist in Spanish. So, we tend to mispronounce it. Many of us, at least for the native European Spanish speakers, pronounce a Spanish 'z' instead of 'th'.

By the way, the spanish phoneme 'z' is pronounced differently to the english phoneme 'z'.
I think its' perfectly fine in many games. In others there is a performance penalty of several percent, a slower fix rate for OS specific bugs, or graphics drivers lagging several weeks or even months behind the Windows release specific for the game.
Too many tokens for GPT4 as well, it frequently blows past the 8k token limit. And I'm not attaching the 32k model to this, that would get expensive real fast.

Russia tries to create a lithography machine using X-rays. I'd take that with a grain of salt, but researches were done, so I guess it's possible, probably other approaches made more commercial sense at the time.
It's not about technology but the people who create the technology. There seems to be a complete breakdown of ethics and responsibility at Microsoft (and also other large tech companies) for the sake of 'shareholder value' (or whatever the Golden Calf is they're dancing around at the moment).
Agree with this. It has little to do with actual performance, and more to do with whose lies/agenda are absorbed. In certain companies, the result is high-performing, high-knowledge people are denigrated and fired, a decision made by the umpteenth manager in less than a year via direct influence by the political elite.

Then we get follow-up situations like Ring being hacked by Ransomware group [1], where the company can't even triage [2].

Not sure how this is legal actually. I guess these companies are just betting that no one takes legal action (e.g., class-action; unionization). Maybe 2023 is the year of change.

When I read articles hinting at HR rehiring previously terminated persons [3], I immediately think this is to thwart a class-action.

Rails ActiveStorage controllers are publicly accessible by default
I was surprised by this when working on a recent side project.

The API for direct upload allows anyone to upload a file to the storage and to retrieve said file using its signed ID, which is returned by the API.

My guess is that there are many sites out there where this open door has not been closed. Especially since the guide is very vague about how to secure the controllers and it does not mention the issues with direct upload.
By "usable" I mean "is equivalent to" in terms of performance, availability. I should have used a better term than "usable" I suppose. It's usable with some caveats if you are willing to miss some titles, miss some performance and so on. It's not usable as a complete replacement for windows if you don't accept missing any titles, any performance.
Funny thing is that there are lots of reports for games of linux outperforming Windows. So considering that you might want to checking first, you might need to run Linux to really get 100% out of your GPU.
Again, culturally- and regionally-specific. My anecdotal evidence is that the people I've talked to (a narrow, biased group of people) have more nuanced views than the surveys pick up. Where I live, more people support the death penalty than are transphobic (according to polling, no less!).

Most people don't know the first thing about anything. Ask them what we should do about climate change, and they'll say "household recycling". Ask them whether they're okay with the environmental impact of a nuclear power station, and they'll say they're outraged about it. The uninformed opinion of people who haven't really thought very hard, when presented with a loaded question, is not particularly indicative of the process they use to form their views: it's more indicative of your sampling method.

I don't know much about how sanctuaries and safe spaces are run, but it's my understanding that they don't generally have "we accept anyone who meets this sentence-long description" policies. Round these parts, shelters have always been able to discriminate against trans people with reason, and they haven't been doing so, and it hasn't been an issue: public sentiment is just that. People have been medically-transitioning in English-speaking cultures for well over a century, now, and it's only been a Big Deal in the last couple of decades. Politics.

One other approach is directory expiration.

If a directory has a time-to-live of 8 hours, then any files or subdirectories inside the directory will be deleted 8 hours after their last modification.

That way the applications that work on these files don't need to be setting special attributes on every file.
What the hell? This isn't a slight negative, it's a compelling reason to avoid them completely.

A low-risk SaaS business has their account terminated for no reason at all? Good lord, that's not what you want in a bank.
> No pure classical reality learner could ever come up with quantum mechanics. They must have a sensory organ to feel the eigen states.

That's obviously not true, as biological organisms who lack such organs have still arrived at learning quantum mechanics (granted, we spent a few billion years inventing language first, but still, those tiny little microbes evtually learned how quantum mechanics works).

I should also mention that we don't yet know whether the eigenstates exist in any sense, or are just a cool modeling trick to predict probabilities, or are actually wrong and there is some better way to model particle physics that perhaps doesn't require them at all.
Ah that does make sense, thanks.

Is it possible to mark a method const in Zig, like in C++? I guess you set the type of the self parameter to const *Self or similar?

Yes. It could.

If you're looking for an easy magic happy way to enact social change where everyone likes you at every step of the way, you'll be looking for a long time.

All you can really do is raise a stink and encourage others to do the same. Fortunately, it takes fewer complaints than you might think to get even a large business to pay attention.

If we don't want businesses to passive aggressively pass their labor costs to their customers, here's a plausible course of events.

1) Angry customers, encouraging each other over social media, start tipping zero and writing angry comments about why. (A sibling commenter's idea to underscore in your comment that you're going to take your business elsewhere because of the policy is excellent.) Because of the people who refuse to tip, angry employees also start making noise, sometimes to the customer, but just as often to to their manager because the manager is there every day. Now everyone's angry, the negativity is spreading, awareness is being created.

2) A news outlet picks up on the trend because news loves everything negative. They trump it up and claim it's an epidemic across the nation of Americans rejecting tipping culture because greedy corporations took it too far. It's now in the news cycle and it's a real PR issue for some corps.

3) A clever corp that likes to make a big deal about treating their employees right realizes that their policy of passing off labor costs to the customer is generating more bad PR than it's worth. They realize they can generate GOOD PR for themselves by changing this policy. Maybe some smaller business owner is gutsy enough to use this trend to actually pay their employees a living wage and stop asking for tips altogether. That gets headlines, generates more attention for the trend, and helps them get more customers.

4) The revolution is in full swing at this point, because the issue has entered the public consciousness and at least some businesses have changed their ways under pressure. Does tipping culture get abolished nationwide and replaced with businesses actually paying people what they're worth? Probably not, but it becomes harder for businesses to pass their labor costs to customers via the deceptive practice of tip inflation. The world is improved because people were angry and unreasonable.

If you think about it this process happens all over the place within our society. It doesn't take 100% of the people shouting to compel action. Outcomes are a function of the number of people who shout multiplied by how loudly they shout. So yeah customers are well within their tights to tip zero and be explicit about why. Because it won't just be the customers shouting at that point, it will make labor shout too. It is an unreasonable action but the willingness of someone to be unreasonable is frequently what change depends on.
I mean, it does require relatively rare technical skill among the general populace, so you need to incentivize it in some way. That is nowhere near a sufficient argument to prove it's difficult in the sense of it being a rare event. Lots and lots of rewards are given out, which means there are lots and lots of open holes in any given moment.
Won’t somebody think of the returns ? \s

> I can't imagine having to deal with this kind of things on a daily-basis while trying to actually get stuff done.

I switched from Windows to Arch Linux on Thinkpads for about 15 years and had a great time and learned a lot, but dealing with things on a daily basis was why I switched back to Windows 10 a few years ago, along with a new gaming habit during the pandemic. Gaming on Linux with Steam is wonderful these days, but the daily overhead of random stuff to deal with was too much when sometimes I just want to play games.
> And though it's phonetically spelled

I've never tried to learn Hungarian but as a casual traveller there I deeply appreciated the phonetic spelling. The Hungarian alphabet can be memorized in an hour or two and then you can immediately pronounce any written Hungarian word and be understood (terrible accent I'm sure but the locals will get it).

By comparison, I've lived in Vietnam for several years now. The grammar is very simple. Every word is one syllable. A lot of common words are made from compounds of basic words (long horn animal = rhino type thing) so you can make educated guesses once you've learned a few words.

The problem? Nobody, including even my close friends, partner, and coworkers, can understand anything that I say in Vietnamese. Anything more complicated than "thank you", "hello", and a handful of numbers. And I cannot understand them either. If I pronounce a word as written but get the tone very very slightly wrong, it seems 100% impossible for Vietnamese people to infer the word I meant to say. It's incredibly frustrating and I've started and given up learning Vietnamese many times. I've learned some basic grammar, I've learned enough words to string a few sentences together. But what use is that when I go into a market and order something basic like "ice" ("nuoc da" , or just "da") and nobody has a clue what I'm saying?

Every conversation where I try to learn a new word in Vietnamese turns into ten minutes of "no, you're still not saying it right, the tone rises and falls at the end", "no, too much rise, say it like this" over and over until I give up. And that's not even mentioning the accents, differences in tone, and entirely different words used for basic things between the north and south of the country. Or the fact that locals are not in any way interested in trying to help a foreigner speak their language.

Learning Vietnamese is the most frustrating thing I've ever attempted in my life. I'm good at learning things. I'm sure I could sit down for a few days and memorize a hundred irregular verb conjugations. But I can't overcome this problem. How can you learn a language that you can't pronounce or hear?
I think people have just had to become a bit more realistic after having their eyes opened. Right now my imagination says that this virus might destroy cancer, but who knows what else it's going to do?
Wait for a couple of major version updates before praising prematurely.

Usually desktop Linux works great until it suddenly doesn't, and then the real fun of figuring out what's wrong begins ;)
What did you use to anonymize the photos with the stylization? I really like how those photos are stylized. And there's some neat ideas here.

There's a book called Exploring Curvature by James Casey that has a lot of little physical experiments and constructions for exploring differential geometry. You may be interested in it.

And Tadashi Tokieda has a lot of lectures on YouTube along these lines as well, where he'll have students cut out strips of paper to explore topological ideas.
Anybody knows how it was done? Did GPT-4 generate all the codes, or did the author fine-tune GPT-4 on Blender code?
I use C++ and Delphi / Lazarus. I guess I have a "very different philosophy" then I ;)

To me either has pros and cons.
Yeah, I don't think the concept works in this case because it's too noisy. But I don't think it's "silly". Everything's silly until it becomes normal.
Welsh language: New law to help all students speak confidently by 2050
If you test both on the same terms (i.e. only interaction via a remote terminal) then a decent simulation can entirely convince humans that a bottle has been dipped in it and water removed from it too. But it still doesn't have the essential properties of H20, it just looks like it in many ways to some imperfect observers.

Testing is a moot point when my original argument was that it there is no reason to assume that a converts-to-ASCII subset of i/o as it is perceived by a [remote] human observer other is the only differences between two dissimilar physical processes (one of which we know results in sensory experiences, self awareness etc). Takes a lot more belief that the human mind is special to believe that sensory experience etc resides not in physics but whether human observation deduces the entity has sensory experience.

Looking forward to trying it out :)
Typically, there's two ways to do this.

The first is to just use the fact the GPT-4 will have seen a lot of blender code so just knows how to do it.

The second way is to tell GPT-4 in the prompt what the API surface looks like and have it script against that.
