> You will say that until the day you will die in a crash.

For christ’s sake, this level of hyperbole is completely unjustified.

A supplier found a non-safety-critical flaw in a component they were manufacturing. It’s being fixed for new planes, and a plan is being devised to retrofit a fix on existing fleets. What more do you want?

Yes, the earlier issues with the MCAS and single AOA sensor were tragic and highlighted serious and inexcusable deficiencies within both Boeing and the FAA. And yet, since resolving this issue, the 737 MAX has returned to service with an exemplary safety record.

Flying on a 737 MAX—even including the fatal crashes due to MCAS—remains quite literally the safest way to travel by both time and distance.

Chill.

You asserted an analogy but didn't actualize the connection between the two concepts.
True, I misspoke with that word. I think the rest of my comment holds nonetheless.
I haven't watched any of her videos but it might not have been quite that bad. She would have had a camp set up, if not multiple. It really depends how deep the cave is. If it's too deep for one person to carry all the supplies needed then multiple base camps are set up along the way to serve, among other things, as supply stations. The article didn't speak to this but I assume she was provided with food at the adjacent base camp because how else did she get food if she had no human contact and never left the cave?

So it's safe to assume that at her personal camp she had a tent and other provisions. Flies can get into the tent, of course, but it would keep most of them out. I think the worst part would be feeling "trapped" inside of the tent while waiting out the infestation.

Violence and revenge are useful tools in many environments. The advantages they provide are why evolution made them prominent in our nature and pretending otherwise instead of accounting for it seems unwise. Our primate cousins famously practice war, genocide, infanticide etc.

I believe this is known as ethical subjectivism and it’s not entirely uncommon. What you’re expressing is ethical objectivism. Both are fine and common viewpoints, but I’m not sure it’s accurate to express either with complete and utter certainty. Hopefully someone with more depth in the matter can correct me or add color.

Pigs are literally in the top three meats consumed.
That substack article poorly understand's Turing's paper anyway. Cars aren't even mentioned. Chess is briefly mentioned at the end. I wouldn't base any opinions off of it.

Turing's test was not "this computer fooled me over text, therefore it's an AI". It's a philosophical, "we want to consider a machine that thinks, well we can't really define what thinking is, so instead it's more important to observe if a machine is indistinguishable from a thinker." He then goes on to consider counterpoints to the question, "Can a machine think?" Which is funny because some of these counterpoints are similar to the ones in the author's article.

Author offers no definition of "think" or "invent" or other words. It's paragraph after paragraph of claiming cognitive superiority. Turing's test isn't broken, it's just a baseline for discussion. And comparing it to SHA-1 is foolish. Author would have done better with a writeup of the Chinese room argument.
> Not to discount her record or anything,

You just spent the previous paragraph and opening line literally discounting it.
The whole experience drives a huge wedge into folks, as we see from the very strong breakdown of very negative vs very positive. The site's whole premise comes at the expense of severely agitating some people. Doubling down seems like the obvious move. I don't there's a real possibility of useful dialog or outreach with the discontent; making oveure's to a non-addressable market just doesn't make sense.

And it's not like they have particularly bad points either. They're over the top but basically counter-roasting far more over the top griping, for the most part. It's all pretty well constructed. I don't think they cause any additional or excess damage with this.

I don't always think shiboleths or in-comments are wise, but here in particular I think it adds greatly. It's almost entirely just people's disposition & response we see for how folks perceive this, and not at all cultural or information based. The context in question is mostly the reader themselves. This continues to parlay the grand-joke about emotions & people well, to me.

My guess is that they focused on the focal point of the image - the face, and especially the eyes - and didn't try to pick apart the whole image.

The white smudges in the center/top, and the yellow glow on the top of the left side seem like artifacts of a manual development process. That's likely something that would interest a photography judge - maybe the judge(s) here were just biased toward experimental analog processing and was therefore blind to the issues we immediately see?
Oh that's what I was nodding at with my "I wouldn't call C a simple language" comment. You are 100% correct. I assume--maybe wrongly but I don't think so--that the natural progression of the C programmer is:

- whoa cool everything is a number! Make that light blink, wipe that SDRAM chip, whiz bang!

- What the fuck is a torn read (insert any C gotcha in here)?! Everything is garbage!

- I know, I'll encapsulate "The right way to do things" in a library/new language.

- Never mind, I've decided to build websites (insert popular tech job here) for a living, but be super grouchy about it

The corollary to "I think Rust's complexity makes it impossible to delight me" is "I think C's brittleness makes it impossible to delight me." It has notes of innocence lost, nostalgia, a "simpler time", etc. Are those days gone forever, as the Dan say? Dunno.

Same; I switched to YT Music b/c of better offline playback than Spotify Premium (and ofc YT Premium simply includes music!)

however i've found that the mixes introduce me to recommendations that I like at roughly the same rate as Discover Weekly.

What are you listening to for such good recommendations? Is the the automatic "Mix" playlists it creates?

I think this is genius. Thank you. This is the best use I've ever heard of for an LLM.

Online "debates" are always abysmal. People talking past each other, repeating arguments that they don't understand, re-re-re-retreading the same material that was worn out before the Internet was invented. I've never seen one that came anywhere close to teaching anybody anything or changing anybody's mind.

I've always said that ChatGPT is very good at writing things that don't need to be written: SEO text, school papers, content farming, etc. This is a great example, where people are begging for a form of content that they shouldn't need said, but desperately want.

Please: everybody go argue with the bot.
Hell, what about Skynet?
I think the only way to ensure that these days is to not allow data to ever leave your computer under any circumstances. I have no doubt Microsoft is using the software I published to train its copilot thing, I published it with that understanding. My only problem with this is the hypocrisy of it all. Microsoft won't allow their people to even look at at AGPLv3 code lest they unconsciously reproduce it but they will let the AI look at AGPLv3 code while conveniently excluding their proprietary software. It should be trained on everyone's code, especially the proprietary stuff they're so protective of, or not trained at all.

It probably isn't, in the sense of it happening previously.

But "longest record" is usually shorthand for "longest documented record", and indeed documented credibly.
I installed slackware as a 12 year old in the early 90s. I only have 1 PC in the house (other computer was amiga 500 with no internet). My ISP only supported PPP connection which didn't work very well at the time on Linux.

Since the PC was my only source to online help I literally had to reinstall windows and then slackware every time I made an attempt at getting it working. It took probably 15-20 rounds over a couple of months but when I got it felt like the biggest accomplishment of my life.

Someone who says there's no good and evil has never experienced the presence of evil. That's a form of privilege that rarely gets discussed.

There are some people the world is objectively better off without. The issue of course is who gets to decide that, and under what circumstances. But there's no denying that violence, properly applied, can solve many problems very efficiently.

I was quite relieved when Rush Limbaugh died, for example. I will feel a great deal of relief when Putin and Xi eventually kick the bucket. I feel no need to piss on their graves, but only because I have better things to do.
I've looked through a couple of articles, and none mention any samples collected while she was in the cave. She'd have to draw the samples herself, and at regular intervals at that. It seems she had no means of orienting herself with time, or know how many days had passed since the last sample draw, if any. In theory the support staff could just add the sample kits once a month, for example, but I suppose the presence of the kit would be a time cue as well.
I don't see why you'd need to buy the data to do that - you could just scrape it.
This isn't about 2 in 350,000,000 jobs failing. It's about 2 jobs disappearing entirely.

It's not reliability we're talking about, it's about durability. For reference, S3 has eleven 9s of durability.

Every major queuing system solves this problem. RabbitMQ uses unacknowledged messages which are pinned to a tcp connection, so when that connection drops before acknowledging them they get picked up by another worker. SQS uses visibility timeouts, where if the message hasn't been successfully processed within a time frame it's made available to other workers. Sidekiq free edition chooses not to solve it. And that's a fine stance for a free product, but just one I wish was made clearer.

>We've had programs that nobody would call "intelligent" to do both of those things for decades.

So you're right that if I have separate algorithms, each designed for a specific purpose, that those algorithms aren't intelligent. However, if I have a general system that can learn how to solve a math problem, write a poem, and do a bunch of other things that humans can do, then that system is intelligent.

Note that: (1) anywhere in Baltimore is far richer than the Bangladeshi village where my dad grew up; and (2) his village is nonetheless vastly safer and more peaceful.

> with no contact with the outside world

> Flamini was monitored by a group of psychologists, researchers, speleologists — specialists in the study of caves — and physical trainers who watched her every move and monitored her physical and mental well-being.

I read somewhere, all water on Earth has some form of pollution from human sources (plastic, chemicals and other things). It was a study I think by the UN or NOAA.
the point of copyright is to allow people to exploit their work for material gain, which in turn benefits society by encouraging people to create works

if only Microsoft (OpenAI) are able to exploit works for material gain at the cost of the literally 100% of the rest of society: why should society allow Microsoft to do this?

(or even to allow Microsoft to exist at all?)
To be fair, he announced that he was going to launch an “anti-woke” AI effort after having a falling-out with OpenAI well before signing the letter, so his commercial interest in “everybody stop so I can catch up” was clear from the outset, not a hidden thing revealed only in retrospect.
I don't think one connects with the other. Parler is not associated with trump and trump isn't on there. Trump has his own social media site that his heavy duty supporters are going to use.

Trump's success at fundraising doesn't mean that anyone who messages those people looking for money gets it. Assuming trump, massively popular with many conservatives, will be treated the same way as anyone with conservative sounding things in an email is a fallacy that assumes all people giving money to trump are stupid and throw money at emails.

There may be value in the data in building some lists, but I don't immediately assume its political fundraising directly without more evidence. Sometimes influence type operations might not be directly monetary.

I have been slowly but surely working on pljs in my spare time. it is nowhere near feature parity with plv8, but I hope to get it closer with more time. currently missing:

* query execution/cursors
* window functions
* sub transactions

it is based on quickjs, is very fast/easy to compile, and while in long-running functions it is slower than v8, it has a very fast startup time that negates that for shorter functions.

but, it's not ready for prime time yet.
Yeah because it’s nothing but a record. Not sure what else you want me to say.

Feel free to enlighten me if it is something else. The article does not mention it.

This is also discussed in the talk, which I hope will be on YouTube soon enough (it was live streamed).

DB connections are heavier than web server connections, in particular in terms of memory (when using postgres, not sure about mysql). Multiplexers like pgbouncer can address this, but then you lose a bit of the deployment simplicity. Fortunately RAM is pretty cheap nowadays, you can configure the DB to disconnect idle connections, you can use multiplexers and you can make the client transparently reconnect when a connection is needed. So it turns into a RAM/user latency tradeoff.

There are some benefits though. Native DB protocols will tend to stream results in binary, avoiding a JSON encoding that can expand the bandwidth requirements. Also you can get rid of the server side load balancing, because good db drivers know how to load balance amongst R/O replicas already. A lot of deployment complexity in web apps is driven by the fact that browsers handle errors by just throwing up an error page and stopping, so you need to avoid even tiny amounts of downtime. When you control the client you can do failover and recovery more gracefully, which in turn relaxes the availability constraints on the servers a bit.
Specifically, there are 18,000 police jurisdictions in the USA. Each “police force” has completely separate management and reports to a different authority body (most are “ruled” by the government of a city).

No one body oversees these 18,000 different police forces.
>the limited number of employers who sponsored work visas

I find the imprecise language that gets thrown around on visas unhelpful. My understanding is that a US company can try to sponsor your H1-B if you're already on OPT, but the government holds a visa lottery process, so the decision about whether or not you ultimately get it is random and not up to the company. Similarly, once you have an H1-B you can then transfer it to another employer, but this isn't a 'sponsorship'- this is a visa transfer, a completely separate legal process. Finally there's sponsorship for an actual Green Card. Just because a company does 1 of these 3 things, doesn't necessarily mean that they do the other 2.

I think it'd be helpful if people in the industry used more precise language and specified what exactly they're looking for from the companies, sorry to be nitpicky. I just have this conversation a lot. I don't know what specific legal steps the companies on this guy's website do
> even if they _are_ able to access the content itself?

Just as a non-wheelchair accessible store is an example of discrimination, even if someone in a wheelchair could conceivably gain access to it by dragging themselves up the steps with their arms.

> Why don't you take legal action against them?

Because I'd honestly rather they do the right thing for the right reasons. Lawsuits should be a means of last resort.

And honestly, I'm not rich enough to fund a legal campaign. I'll leave that to someone with more money than I.
One might assume then that life is inevitable. Seems like too much if a coincidence (although I appreciate the tautology of that thought).
Grappling With C: Part 1 – pulsar17's blog
The argument put forth isn't that there's a spectrum of good and evil, it's that good and evil don't exist. Presumably along the naturalist lines that we're all just animals doing animal things and morality is a useless fictional construct. An idea I find rather naive.
