Translation wise, if you do not read Arabic then you could give ChatGPT a try. I am currently using GPT4 to clean-up+merge several OCRs of a Latin text and then translate it to English: while not perfect the result is very good.
Are you sure there isn’t some additional tricks?

Is it possible they are doing summarization when you use the web interface to gpt4?

Because I have some extremely long conversations and I ask it if it remembers the beginning of the conversation and it does.

WRT updates and restarting, we went through quite a bit of effort tracking down exactly the settings needed to disable update checking, because once it checks for updates it seems like there is basically no way you can prevent it from rebooting on it's own at some point in the future. And this is on Windows Server, where you'd think they'd be even more reluctant to just reboot.

We ended up with this, BTW:

Set-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\' -Name NoAutoUpdate -Value 1
Less than the Bitcoin network would use if the entire world switched to it.

At it's current usage where maybe 2-3% of the global population has ever actually performed a transaction on the bitcoin network, and next to no one uses it as their primary network for transacting, it used the equivalent energy of the entire country of Brazil, which has half the U.S. population (though less than half the energy usage)

To be clear, the energy usage is a function of price more directly than it is of actual usage, it just so happens that the price would continue to increase if people actually used it for real-world transactions.
It makes me crazy too. It reminds my of Hugin[0], which is a library for panorama stitching of photos. Somehow it's too close to that in my brain and neither really makes sense or sounds good.

You’re not looking at it from a status symbol seekers preferred view. They’re projecting an image they want you to be impressed by. They wouldn’t consider that you’d just assume it’s leased. You’d be dazzled by their superiority. in their mind.

Anyway, if it weren’t like this, you’d be able to lease the same fancy EV as them instead of just the ICE version of the car - again in their mind.
But that's just fucking it, the US is not going to abandon its interests so now China is also interested in compromising your safety and liberty. You can't change your mind later after an actual conflict starts, this isn't a game with a reset button. Once a civil war starts, ww3 starts,etc... you're stuck with what you have. Even right now most US corps bow to china's governments demands left and right. Because of Chinese influence. They have spies running out of think thanks and confucius centers in US colleges left and right.

Your safety is a precious temporary thing and you are naively working against it.
That may be the market insight of the week. So the next question: how much cheaper?
But does the passenger door swing open on left turns like my father’s pickup? That was exciting the first time that happened.
I guess the problem is that I'm slow when I'm plucking my way through something, so it takes me quite awhile to get going fast enough that there's clearly movement from one chord to the next, rather than stopping and resetting.

Maybe I'm just trying to restart at the wrong level.
except the type system in C isn't that good.
Agreed. DeepMind and Hassabis are on the right track—-a society of modules with many layers of recursive self attentional gating. LMM is one big part though.
It's not popular among the crowd here, but my favourite "pretty ok" language is C#. It's not really the best at anything, but it's pretty good for most use cases.

That being said, because there's no one perfect language, it's handy to have a few in your arsenal. As much as I like C#, I'd still reach for Python for any data or ML type use cases.
An empty criticism is: "this sucks, it should be improved".

A constructive criticism is: "this sucks because <reason>". It is constructive because it may not be trivial to explain why something sucks, yet it is mandatory if you expect to find a solution.

A solution is: "This sucks because <reason>. Doing <improvements> would make it better".
I'm pretty sure the truth is a mix of malicious compliance and inability, but I'd weight it heavily in favor of malicious compliance, especially for the insurance data. Insurers know their costs, and when and why they pay specific charges.

(My qualifications to make this statement: 15 years in healthcare IT, including UHG/Optum, and 8 years as CTO of a large clinical organization that included primary through tertiary care, research, and an insurance operation.)
But Rust puts a unique amount of information into the types. This can get annoying sometimes, but it means typechecking better predicts correctness.

For example, a c header type might have an out parameter and an error code returned. The interaction between those two isn't specified in the type system.

I personally require discriminated unions (i.e. enums where each variant can hold its own type of data) before I consider a type system adequate.

There's also quantization. It's currently where a lot of the current grassroots research is happening, if you've seen the llama.cpp repo posted here on HN, it uses the original 16-bit float weights downsized to 4-bit integers with a comparable reduction in resource usage with relatively little performance loss.

The big players are also using quantization in hardware, most notably with Google's TPUs.
The argument isn't really about whether EVs can fill the role played by ICE vehicles. It's about the fact that simply replacing ICE with EV (a) creates gigantic resource requirements (extraction, processing, production) (b) barely touches many of the more problematic aspects of the design of the USA (other places too).

By contrast, shifting people (where possible/appropriate) towards transit and e-bikes might help address both of these issues.

You’re replying to someone named “fsflover”. This is a bit like trying to convince someone named “maolover” that capitalism has some advantages.

The idea that non-free software is unethical and should be abolished is the bedrock of all of the FSF’s philosophy, and is held almost as a religious view for RMS and his adherents.
Hey nvarsj, I do agree that you need to do what works best for you. Everyone have a method and if it works, great!

However, I do feel like Floutwork really solves your problem of keeping work related things isolated. Although it comes with many producutivity features, you can simply use it just to work on your work related apps. It will be the same as logging into virtual desktop but if you ever need the extra productivity tools later on, you can always use them. It tracks productivity by default and helps you track your tasks with ease. Would love for you to give it a shot! But if it seems overwhelming to you, I totally understand.

Got to agree—unfortunately.
it's akin to "jack of all trades", we're broadly skilled over having a singular focus on one area.

It's in OP's favor; we tend to be more easily employable because we can step into roles with admittedly less of the impact that someone with dedicated skills in that area, but having advantage the breadth of the work we can do is wider.

We're cross-disciplinary, usually not academically educated, and tend to look at problems differently because we'll have a more diverse experience.

> NHS is not known for speedy treatment, for instance.

From what I understand (I am not a UK citizen, but me mum's mum spoke Scouse. My mother, on the other hand, spoke The Queen's English), everyone loves to hate on the NHS, but no politician in their right mind will touch it. It's a "third rail."
Sure, what could possibly go wrong.

>We are no longer particularly in the business of writing software to perform specific tasks. We now teach the software how to learn, and in the primary bonding process it molds itself around the task to be performed. The feedback loop never really ends, so a tenth year polysentience can be a priceless jewel or a psychotic wreck, but it is the primary bonding process--the childhood, if you will--that has the most far-reaching repercussions.

Back when I was a developer, I tended towards the competent jerk. I was pretty good, but not 10x and I was a bit short with people not a raging asshole, though looking back I am ashamed of my behavior. The good thing is that it makes it really easy for me to recognize now.

On my teams, I don’t accept incompetence, so even the nice folks get managed out quickly.

I do have a strategy for handling the 10x assholes, though. We have a difficult problem domain (lots of math and physics) so I need those smart folks. I’m also lucky to have 2 hyper-competent nice devs too. I use them like jiu jitsu gyms use their enforcers.

When an extra aggressive 20 something shows up to a gym and starts making it unsafe to train, the gym will pair them up with a black belt who will humiliate them but be super nice about it and put them in their place.

I do the same. If I see asshole behavior surfacing, I’ll pair them up with my one of my super competent devs and have a them do a in depth code review or something like that.

Most of the time it works and the bad behavior goes away. If that doesn’t work (very rarely), we’ll manage them out.

Sometimes the 10x jerk is a jerk because he’s used to dealing with incompetence. But if you can show them competent-nice behavior, they’ll often pattern match to that.
The transition to luxury EVs is hard. The transition to EVs is less hard. Things get easier if you throw out some of the requirements that we didn't need in the first place.

For instance, we don't need cobalt to make batteries. LFP cells are fine, though they may need extra insulation and heating/cooling systems in cold weather.

We don't need copper for the main power cables. Aluminum is fine as long as you can properly engineer the connectors.

For that matter, we don't need copper for the motor windings either. Aluminum could work there too, it's just that the motor will tend to be physically larger and less powerful.

We don't need rare earths for permanent magnets, though again this means a bulkier and less powerful motor (unless you go with induction, but induction motors aren't as efficient as permanent magnet motors).

We don't need cars with 300 mile range batteries. We /do/ need cars to be able to make long trips in a timely fashion, but that can be addressed by increasing charge station availability or (what would be much better) electrifying our major highways so that vehicles don't even need to stop to recharge. If the average car has "only" 100 miles of range rather than 200 miles, that translates to being able to make a lot more cars with the same amount of batteries, and the cars can be a lot lighter.

Most people buying Rivians and Lightnings and electric Hummers are wasting resources that could have gone towards building three or four boring sedans or minivans. Some people really do need trucks for what they do, but we could adopt policies that discourage truck ownership rather than encourage it (e.g. CDL requirement for vehicles with more than a certain power/weight, get rid of the chicken tax to improve availability of smaller trucks, add visibility regulations to prohibit comically tall grills).
Thanks, I'd love to open-source it someday! It's a beautiful mess.
> privacy still exists without secrecy

It can, but if the goal is to —in one fell swoop— remove both secrecy (encryption) and privacy (scanning of de—encrypted information) then clearly that isn’t true.
Even a free Google Voice account can manage some of that, but something like DialPad, (Made by the exGoogle engineers that made RingCentral which was bought by Google to make Google Voice) is a paid service that offers more features. If you think of being a celebrity as a business, who's product is that celebrity's name, time, and attention, then it seems obvious they'll have an IT department, a reception desk, a finance department, a social media manager, an assistant to manage their calendar (what's a calendly), etc.

Half a dozen phones's obviously a bit much, but if a phone gets dropped and breaks, the IT person should already have a replacement ready to go, no waiting around being phoneless while someone goes to go to the Apple store.
>What's so difficult to deal with?

Respectfully, if you think dealing with people is as simple as delivering ultimatums about their behavior then you likely have not dealt with leading teams of highly skilled professionals.

I feel bad - now someone has to pay 9 cents * 4GB in S3 costs when I downloaded the weights. Cloudflare R2 has free bandwidth and is much faster (my current speed for any S3 download is just 10MBit despite 300MBit connection) - way to few devs use R2.

Ugh.. not this again. It can't be malware if there is no malicious intent behind it. Not greed, not carelessness, not incompetence not apathy but malice, as in MS must desire to cause harm to its users.

Why rewrite TeX? To me TeX is one of the example of what a software project should aim to be, arrive to a stable version where it does what it should do and it work reasonably well. That was the initial idea of Knuth (in fact the version is a number that approaches PI one decimal at a time).

This is the contrary of the "modern" philosophy that says that we need to constantly modify, update or rewrite a software in "modern" languages even if it's a huge effort and risks introducing bugs that were not present in the original version.

Well, at least if we want to rewrite it let's just have to wait 10 years, then we can fed all the codebase to ChatGPT and ask for a new fancy Rust version!

Regarding of integration, TeX follows the (to me still relevant) UNIX philosophy that a software can be called by another software and the input/output communicates in a pipe. Nowadays we have even containers that let us distribute the software as a single unit so we don't have to worry about installing multiple files on a system. Not a big deal, in the end.
@muscle6 - Although window management is only one aspect of Floutwork, yes, window management in itself was a huge problem for me and a source of distraction with all those open windows and multiple browser windows with tons of open tabs. Even if you just want to use it for window management, it will still save you a heck of a lot of effort.
Few people, in practice, have been able make a living selling pure GPLv3 software. Indeed it’s not strictly impossible but it’s extremely difficult under normal conditions.

Even most of the vendors of free software today (e.g. Confluent) are using some kind of SaaS or open core model.

In one sense it's impressive Rust has mediocre refactoring support despite orders of magnitude less investment in tooling. But that isn't worth all that much. It's no worse than any other typed language I've tried.

Rust in theory has a lot of potential here because it's designed to minimize action at a distance.

Not the person you are replying to but in hindsight the "solution" to COVID was to chill out more, get vitamin D and and other than the most comorbid people, go on with life.

My wife and I drove our 6 month old son from NY to Florida in Jan 2021. In NY, everything was shut down, everyone was locked inside, everyone was stressed and miserable. In Florida everything was open, restaurants were having 3 hour waits, everyone happy.

In retrospect mortality rate same in FL and NY even though many old folks in FL. So seems like a lot of it was over reacting.

That's interesting, but if you're trying to make a DE that attracts users who are used to Windows, or serve as a Windows replacement for corporate/government employees, it won't be helpful. Neither is GNOME, in my opinion. KDE is easily the closest thing in FOSS-land to the Windows UI, and it's always baffled me why RedHat didn't support it instead, given their corporate focus.

Some people argue that Gnome (3+) is better here because it doesn't lend itself to customization very well, but its entire UI is so radically different from Windows that I don't see how this argument holds water. Sure, KDE is ridiculously configurable, and that can be a big problem for IT support, but for non-admin users, it shouldn't be difficult to set an option to lock it down and only give users a very limited subset of the config options. KDE might not have that now, but RH could have easily developed that with a tiny fraction of the resources they've poured into Gnome development.
PL. PO. I don't think either of those work :)
