I took a look at toolbox just now and seen they've only just got symmetry and stencils last month, which would make me worried about what other aspects they are currently missing.

There is a perpetual license for substance painter on steam, which although updates are only for that years version, is still permanent. Not ideal I know (I'm stuck with a minor bug) but it's half the price of toolbox for an industry standard tool.
Many answers are in this thread, I should have made my point clearer: from Perseus doc, it has a limited vision of static rendering, that stems from a slightly incorrect mental model. Statically rendering and not needing a server are different subject, and statically rendering is not limited to generic content. This can be easily proven if you think statically rendering a page as precomputing the render at build-time. I've written multiple time about this subject and Next 13 App Router design choices are consistent with this theory. This makes Next much more powerful that many competitors, as it covers all use cases of static rendering.
You make good points. I'm not so hopeless. China and India in aggregate are expanding wind and solar power at a staggering rate. (India already has the world's single largest installation with more being planned.) Yes, in the short term, both India and China need a lot of coal for power and steel production. In the medium term, that will taper off as wind and solar (any _maybe_ nuclear) provides a greater share of electricity.

And there's the cost of keeping a dying language alive.

You're basically asking people to sacrifice their lives to a less useful language, a mere social utility, so you can maintain a sort of "cultural linguistic zoo" ... and yes you are by this analogy relegating them to the role of animals in a theme park.

Think of what that entails: "No, you can't be taught in the language that will get you into university and get you the best jobs. You must dedicate a significant portion portion of your life to something we already know is a dead end for you personally, because we have decided that it is more important that a legacy tool be kept alive than that you prosper as a person."
yes the corporate-sphere is.. how to say.. very dumb.
Yes, but the GP rightly pointed out that comparing AI capabilities to dumb humans is not very useful. After all, you wouldn't hire random people from the street to do your accounting either. As another example, I doubt that a lawyer's office would want to hire someone who cannot correctly answer the glass door puzzle, even if that person's main task was only summarizing texts.

To be fair, at the current pace of development I'd be surprised if the next iterations of GPT won't outperform most qualified humans, too.
Sounds a bit like ADHD vs ASD
> to supply a full-sized sponge iron factory for three to four days

how long does it take to fill, because if it takes longer than 3-4 days to fill, then it's not a matter of storage capacity, but production capacity.
An URL rewrite doesn't involve making the language part of the route. It's true that you use a route parameter, but the user doesn't have to see it. Look for Segmented Rendering or the Megaparam pattern for my work on this idea.
Dell's new XPS laptops reminds me of Apple in 2016.

They're adding gimmicks to try to differentiate and prioritizing form over function.

Because Dell uses Intel/AMD chips with Windows, it's extremely hard to differentiate over a Lenovo or Asus or Samsung or HP or Acer. This means they can mostly differentiate on marketing and price.

So they started adding gimmicks such as removing the function keys and adding touch buttons to replace them. This is a worse version of the Apple Touch Bar that most people hated.

They made the touchpad "invisible" to make it look cleaner. This reduces functionality because now it's harder to know where the touchpad begins and ends.

Lastly, they removed the headphone jack at a time when Apple started to add more ports back.

Apple's old Mac design philosophy was form over function in order to differentiate from other Intel laptops. Now that they have Apple Silicon, they no longer need to differentiate over gimmicks.
The technical challenges must be greater than I imagined, because even for a pilot study, 100m3 seems very small.
MAME is just crazy. I only learned recently it contains the best Sega Genesis emulator and now you tell me it does terminal emulation, too.
Im not able to tell - using web search - if chatGPT is available in China.
See also the evil interview question, "how does a keyboard type characters into an Emacs buffer?"

You could spend 8 hours describing it from power, to USB descriptors, to debouncing, to keymapping, to matrix scanning, to ptys, to editor string management algorithms to Lisp. And passing by this article as well!
I'm trying to learn Clojure at the moment at the recommendation of Paul Graham and other technologists whom I greatly respect. But as I work through various coding challenges in an attempt to come to grips with the language, I have yet to encounter a single problem that is solved more elegantly in Clojure than the equivalent Pythonic solution. I am really trying to have an open mind, but I don't want to join a cult, either.

It really feels at this point like Python has subsumed the best features of every dynamically typed language.

Typically, people endorse Clojure for the following reasons:
1. It's functional!
OK, well, all the higher order functions exist in Python, too, but in fact you wouldn't want to use them anyway because in Python you have list comprehensions, which, it turns out, usually leads to an even more readable solution.
2. REPL-driven development!
Python also has a REPL. True, it isn't the best REPL imaginable, but as far as I can tell it has feature parity with Clojure's! Both are missing the ability to fix errors live in a breakout REPL like you would find in a true LISP REPL.
3. Macros! Code is data! You can easily create your own DSL!
OK, maybe. But actually, in Clojure I've gathered the impression that macros are looked down upon, a feature of last resort, unlike in other LISPs. I also can't recall ever using Python and wishing I could replace its syntax with a DSL, since it is already so expressive and flexible. But admittedly that might be a limitation with my own imagination and experience.

People tend to say all these things in favor of Clojure, but when you actually investigate them they seem quite flimsy. Meanwhile, for a language like Python the value product is clear and obvious. Where else are you going to do your machine learning, for example?

I really am not trying to be an asshole to people who do enjoy and like Clojure, because I want to be one of you! I just need some reason to continue learning because clearly I haven't yet grokked the benefits. If anybody could concisely explain the advantages Clojure has over a language like Python (speed, maybe?) which do not fall apart under close scrutiny I would be grateful.

Does it take a lot of effort? The article claims this particular tribe only had "first contact" with western civilization in the 50s or 60s or so.
in Argentina pavo also is used to refer to someone that is not very intelligent.
> Why would we expect to get comparable performance with models a fraction of the size and a pittance of the fine tuning?

LLaMA incorporated new techniques that make 65B perform way better than GPT-3's 175B so the model size argument is not very strong.

Hey, I have an Elitebook 8540w! I got it out of storage and tried the browser/email button but unfortunately doesn't do anything. (They are capacitive buttons though, does it really work on an EliteBook 8540w?). I don't have the HP_TOOLS partition either, but this would work great for dual booting? If you press the normal power on button it boots in Windows, if you touch the "browser" button it boots in Linux. Will try some more things.

Update: I had the quicklook/quickweb stuff disabled in the BIOS, I enabled it and lo and behold the computer booted when touching the browser button. Cool.
Part of why I think autocracies will outpace democracies, like China and the US. With better computational analysis, data collection, and advances in theory, we can do far better than the mass trial and error of a free market. We design cars, airplanes with simulation, but we don't do that with the economy because it's been too complex. Imagine a simulation of 400 million chatgpt's as citizens and being able to tweak those levers in an ensemble with 10,000 different outcomes.
Better than Fastly?
Not always; they were standard bank formats. Both for the GB and the NES.
I don't dislike Vercel specifically, but I dislike opaque businesses that masquerade as open source champions. Also, I wish fewer devs were OK with "advanced frontend stuff" being such a leaky abstraction.
Unfair and irrelevant. Keep it up, Andrej!
Yesterday I asked myself the following question: would you rather be judged by a judge or by GPT5?
Batteries can be recycled.
You make good points. I wish govts in wealthy countries would offer more zero rate loans or grants to low income people to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. It's a win-win: That means low income people lower their CO2 footprint and their incomes rise. For low income people, usually that gets spent right back into the economy, further boosting GDP.

If you look closely at the heat pump rebates in the UK, it is roughly 50% the upfront cost for average installations. That leaves an upfront payment of 5,000 GBP or more. There is just no way that middle class and below will have that money in savings. A better idea: Provide zero interest loans. Whatever is saved on energy bills can be used to pay down the loan. After 10-20 years, it should payoff the entire loan with a huge benefit for everyone.
No, it's the reverse. Posts like this are a dime a dozen, so they are probably over-represented in GPT's training set.
>not to mention those words that reflect something so unique to that culture that you can't really translate them

You've inverted the role of language. Language is what we use to communicate the things we feel, we gain essentially nothing from the words themselves. Even when you think you're communicating something very specific with the words you are using, there's little reason to believe that the person on the other end of the conversation really gets what you're trying to communicate. In a practical sense, you can easily communicate, but these deep, almost mystical, meanings you're implying... it's just not really something that can be known.

The is the point of the indeterminacy of translation illustrated by W.V. Quine.
If you have access to GPT-4, you can use it in the OpenAI API Playground. It’s a bit more reliable than ChatGPT and I’ve not run into any completion limitations, although my use is strictly small-scale.
There is always a server, CDN are servers, so even a totally static websites exported as HTML pages can benefit for user-level or segment-level personalization if the host has enough features. A simple URL rewriting layer is the only thing you need. Your mental model is consistent with what I see from Perseus, but I think that Next is already one step ahead, and this step is to understand that there is a always a server and a user request around even when you render statically. This was my initial point, probably poorly phrased.
Constraints are a layout paradigm that seems conceptually perfect to engineers, but is almost unusable to designers.

I think Apple's capitulation in SwiftUI to abandon constraints has marked their end in mainstream UI design, at least until we have AI tooling that can manipulate constraints in a more intuitive way.
Didn't China build a huge hydropower dam because the government dictated it would happen ? Even over the people that had to move and the changes to their environment?

Nuclear power is expensive in the US because of stringent regulations, most of which should be kept. However there are lessons from existing installations, newer designs, and better technology to help design things now, than in the 50s and 60s.
Maybe the real lesson here is that the meaning of life is always a product of its time.

The Japanese government has a feverish obsession with My Number, a universal ID system that encompasses everything from identity proof to health insurance and tax verification. Think of the possibilities if they paired it with AI. They would wield a formidable weapon to regulate the Japanese populace like never before.

It is not true; the main impediment to nuclear in Australia has been some combination of the Australian Labor party and the people who vote for them. They've been staunchly anti-nuclear for a long time.

I wonder why monogamy is not mentioned here?

Given a very primal mammalian impusle towards power-structed polygamy, social conditioning around monogamy has to be pretty profoundly integrated into culture. Or you are going to have some very seriously angry young men. And given the numbers being posted, they may be coming back.
Something worth considering: Sometimes people may use older versions of compilers, e.g., older versions of GCC, for compiling older programs for older hardware. These GCC versions are smaller in size and written to run on less powerful hardware. For example, the gzip'd source tarball for GCC 2.95 from 2001 is 12M while the one for GCC 12.2 from 2022 is 143M, an 11x size increase.
The Overton Window works as a concept when we all talk to each other. But we now have three separate echo chambers - "Left", "Right", "Center" - and they each have their own Overton Window.
I don't think it is about you per se but about the population in general and I'm quite sure that inside these companies there are unfiltered feeds available. But I can see why in today's sue-happy and sensitive environment a large company would try to not expose itself to that kind of risk. Note that these are exactly the kind of things that the press jumps on and have considerable risk of brand damage.
“Open”AI blocks ChatGPT access from the PRC last time I checked.
I am a French native and GPT has a really good level in my experience, albeit not as good as in English — which I speak quite well, having spent many years in the US. But it’s not as good, maybe 80-90% there.
Data Is a New Product
It's really just super autocomplete. Visualize a loop. You can ask it in the loop to count, but you can't ask it to loop. It needs to loop to be able to track the word count.
tldr; the answer to the clickbait: "I’m having a rest before another challenge crops up, and I really don’t want to think about my heart rate variability, whether I slept well, or even have notifications on my wrist at all – I just want to give my brain a break. "

I'm guessing that the only reason he wore it to be able to write this article with this headline.
In Praise of Top Down Programming
Thanks.

I saw "Introducing GPT-4, OpenAI’s most advanced system" and clicked the "Try GPT" link below it, guess technically that doesn't directly state the version.
I need to write a post about why the invisible hands doesn't mean what people think, it means if you kill the king, the system won't collapse because the secret sauce of the society is in the trade of the parts, Adam's Smith write about that people aren't rational and that we need controls over monopolies, most what people think Smith say is what Lucas say.
Proto capitalism is what lead up to feudalism. The Roman empire didn't have modern capitalism with banking, company shares and insolvency but what they did have is a silver/gold standard with debt bondage. Debt bondage is still a thing in Pakistan and the dynamic is exactly the same. You borrow a little money, the interest payments become overwhelming, you are forced to work on behalf of the creditor who can decide your wage and the interest rate.and whether they pay you in food and shelter or in money. There is no reason why they wouldn't abuse this power.

You see it all begins very benign. A farmer has a bad harvest. He needs to bridge over this year until the next harvest. So he borrows money with interest. When the next harvest fails then he becomes unable to pay and is forced to sell his land and perversively, hired to work on his own land. He has functionally become a serf. All it takes is for this to spread to the rest of society and you end up with feudalism.

In other words, feudalism is what happens when proto capitalism is exaggerated to an extreme extent.

If you were to exaggerate modern capitalism I am not sure what would happen. Maybe hyperinflation, maybe world war 3, maybe a reform of the banking system, maybe mass starvation or maybe a revolution or maybe modern feudalism except serfs aren't allowed to own intellectual property or shares in companies.

So no, I don't think the problem is that we don't have capitalism. We clearly have more capitalism than we want or need. Robber barons are an intrinsic part of capitalism.

The answer is a market economy without capitalism. I don't even see why anyone would care about capital obsession in a free market anyway. That sounds inherently autocratic. At some point in the capital accumulation process one person owns the entire economy, how does that not make them a monarch eventually?
I can't vouch for French, but it's fluent in Dutch as well (my native language). And you can ask it to adopt different styles and dialects even. Anything it can generate in English it can generate in Dutch as well and without any obvious grammar mistakes. So, it's not merely translating but actually able to generate answers in Dutch from training content that was never translated into Dutch.

I had a very similar experience and ultimately gave up, at least until I see more of the evidence you're asking for.

The concise way of writing Clojure/Lisp, which is often praised as one of its benefit (shorter code!) to me often just made it harder to understand.

Also, coming from TypeScript, I was really missing the static typing - TDD was not a sufficient replacement for me, as I feel that again the main benefit of static typing is more easy understanding when reading other people's code.

Since you mentioned PG, here's a very good counter point given by Jonathan Blow to what he says, and a discussion between the two (rare to see on HN): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21237636

The emotional roller coaster of changing requirements
"Survival of New Orleans Blog" by Michael Barnett (Interdictor) [0] on LiveJournal

“We’re on the 10th and 11th floor of a corporate high rise on Poydras Ave., right near St. Charles. We have generators and tons of food and water. It is five of us total. I am not sure how the Internet connection will be affected. I have a camera and my gun. Sustained winds are 175, gusts to 215. The real danger is not the wind, it’s the storm surge the wind will be pushing into the city from the Gulf through the lake. The city might never recover. Honestly, this thing could be biblical”

Starts on August 28th [1]

From Baseline magazine summary [2]:

That online diary, or weblog, entry was posted about noon on Sunday, Aug. 28, by Michael Barnett, a former Green Beret and business consultant to Intercosmos Media Group, the parent company of domain registrar DirectNIC and Zipa.com, a Web host. Barnett, a lifelong friend of Intercosmos chief executive officer Sigmund Solares, was holed up with his girlfriend Crystal Coleman in a data center in New Orleans’ Central Business District, an alleged safe place to ride out Hurricane Katrina. Solares hired Barnett as crisis manager for the storm.

In The Netherlands mobile home parks are bought at a rapid rate by (oftentimes foreign) investors to be replaced by cheaply built, uniform and boring rental home vacation parcs. It is attractive for municipalities who are strapped for cash, and thinking about future tourism income for their town or city, and who also generally don't like the original dwellers of these places: Local low-income residents who can't afford expensive vacations abroad. They occupy leased municipal land 'unproductively' in their eyes, causing incidents now and then. Troublemakers. But with the disappearance of these mobile home parks a unique and important social culture that is present there, also disappears. I think it is highly likely that by taking away the passtime for commoners in this way will create a lot of social problems in the long run. I haven't heard much about organizating as co-operatives, but the idea is very appealing.
