> So? We're talking about safety here, not fatality.

So? Not all violent crime is equally severe. Being forced to hand over your money is not the same as being killed.

Your odds of being shot seems to be significantly less in SF.

Isn't "correlation does not imply causality" already a household expression? If we are engineers why are we insisting in specious reasoning?

Treat like it's worthless. Unless you're a co-founder or one of the first few employees, it's unlikely to be a substantial amount of money. If you're lucky and the company does succeed, you might have a house downpayment or a car's worth of money, basically a large bonus payment.

Isn't today's situation the utility paying a retail rate for something with a much lower wholesale replacement cost?

That doesn't seem like a wash to me.

EDIT: I'm not a big fan of "a battery in every garage" but I would much rather see subsidies of planned large-scale green power generation vs a shotgun of individual solar installs.
Hmmm... maybe this thread will have an answer to the question that has been on my mind for a while. Sometime in the next 5-7 years, I think I'm going to be in the market for a new car. Are there any manufacturers out there whose niche is "dumb cars"? If so, they can have my money.
Hey, that's a pretty clever way to make different styles easier to prompt by hiding them behind genre/style selectors.

There must be some other re-work going on, though. I asked for a screenplay, and what was returned wasn't formatted as one. Is this using GPT in the backend?
Thanks. The long term vision would be to create desktop and mobile versions that install like a normal printer driver, so you can print from any application (not just Chrome). And you could use it to print at any nearby store location, regardless of whether it's a Kinkos (do they still exist?), FedEx Office, UPS Store, Staples, or whatever. So if you live in an apartment in New York and there's a UPS Store across the street, why would you waste any of your 600 sqft on a printer when you can just print directly to the printer in the UPS Store?
The problem is that official statistics are worse than useless because most victims of minor crimes never file police reports. And I don't think you'll find any statistics at all on the intensity of odors in public transit stations.
IMHO this is where the incentives are poorly aligned. The power companies should be offering incentives for people to install home battery systems but only if they are configured to act as a virtual peaker plant. IE the power company gets to decide when the battery is discharged to the grid. Maybe the power company buys the batteries and the homeowner pays the install cost.

The homeowner gets a backup that works when the power is out, and the power company doesn't have to build and run expensive peaker plants and can further defer upgrading the backhaul lines. Total cost is higher than grid scale battery backup, but since the price is split it should be cheaper for the utility and also the grid scale battery storage doesn't help the backhaul problem.

In the past the problem was that we simply were not making enough batteries so the market price was too high, but with battery production rapidly ramping up this should be practical if not now then within just a year or two.
Most helpful thing for the environment would be for big solar facilities to handle all this instead of individual homeowners. It's less efficient trying to make people run their own mini power plants.
Between Cowley & Divinity and the Tesco Express on Cowley if I remember correctly. Looking around on street view I can’t seem to find it :( maybe it was where there is now an Oodles according to Google maps but my memory’s hazy. Perhaps it was further down on Cowley and I’m misremembering.
Looks like this was a credible threat, with the trajectory ending on a land. Then the missile was lost and alert was updated as non-threat. Not clear if this has been an escalation or just a mistake.
population collapse is a big issue for the world. in the west we've become too savvy with just importing people to offset our falling birth rate, but this is causing lower birth rates and high brain drain in the countries we source from. its a global issue
As I understand it, monads help solve the problem of sequential computation in Haskell but the concept is not limited to that. For example, how would you consider the monadic properties of data type like Maybe or Either to be (exclusively?) interpreted through the lens of sequential computation? What about commutative monads where the order doesn’t matter?
I'm pretty well versed in how the tech world is financed and based on a very large amount of experience it is plain obvious to me that even if the EU would come up with a viable competitor to ChatGPT before they would be a serious threat they would be bought out by US money. This is what wealth concentration is all about. You can't compete with an advantage like that.
You're assuming that reduced aging is a huge evolutionary benefit. It seems pretty obvious by looking at difference species that's not true. Look at lifespans across species. The difference in species lifespan is over two orders of magnitude. So evolution has made progress on this.

Evolution only prioritizes lifespan as much as it needs to vs other reproductive goals.

You are not going to build an EU openAI on Horizon2020 grants. Also EU investors are closer to business angels when you compare with the VC funding scene in the US.
Probably the cheapest way to advertise and build goodwill.
I wouldn't use the word dangerous. NIFs and (linked in) ports are a risk, yes. You're loading native code, and you don't have intrinsic protection against it doing naughty things that alter the underlying shared state in unapproved ways. Things like writing to improper addresses, closing improper filehandles, opening filehandles and leaking them, leaking memory, other improper use of syscalls, or just running for too long.

The only proper solution is to audit and understand the code you're running, but hoping it's fine often works too; maybe formal methods, but to a first approximation, nobody uses those. Did you audit all of ERTS and/or OTP? I'm guessing probably not, but it's there to review if you run into a problem.

IMHO, it's not worrying about if BEAM will crash; worry about it not crashing instead. If your Rust NIF ties up a scheduler with an infinite loop, that has the potentially to lock up the whole BEAM once another scheduler needs to do something that requires full cross scheduler coordination.

BEAM can certainly crash on OOM; although I recommend setting a ulimit to ensure it will, because when it crashes, you can recover. I've also run into situations where instead of crashing or being killed by the OS OOM killer (which is close enough to crashing), the OS gets into some tricky to debug state where your application is neither functioning nor killed. Sometimes, you even get into a state where BEAM is making progress, but very slowly; that's a fate worse than death.

If you follow the Erlang philosophy, you'll have a recovery strategy from crashes or other deaths. Heart can be used to turn completely blocked into death, although I never used it professionally. But you've still got to worry about working but not well.

I don’t think you thought this through any further once you felt you had a somewhat rational construct that meshed with your comfort zone. Human behavior has massive amounts of variation even within a culture, both sex and gender traits inhabit overlapping bell curves. Is there a biological reason for why dresses are considered feminine in the US, and states are constructing laws restricting cross gender usage of them, but kurtas or sarongs are acceptably masculine elsewhere?

I recently had GPT 3.5 write me a function for translating the number under point to an ISO timestamp. It handled whether the epoch number was milliseconds or seconds since epoch. I kinda had to iterate on it and ask it to do some things different, but it never wrote invalid code.

I also lived in San Francisco. Was never threatened by a random weirdo. Lived in a different city and was threatened (he said he would beat me to death). But somehow the city I live doesn't have constant bellyaching about how dangerous it is despite having a higher violent crime rate than San Francisco.
Everyone have different needs. For us, OTP on top of pre-emptive lightweight threads and a REPL in production is a huge winner for troubleshooting, finding performance bottlenecks, and reliability.
RWKV is random chance on the PathX problem. Both of those models are > 95% on it, if I remember correctly.

I don't think Hyena can be run in RNN mode, though. But it _might_ scale better than the LRU model (second paper).
An endowed public library changed my life. The McGregor Public Library in Highland Park Michigan was close to my Junior High School.

I grew up in central Detroit a few miles from downtown. The neighborhood was rough and having been assaulted many times before, I was apprehensive about walking home from junior high school. Gangs of violent kids would form up after school and it made the journey perilous. However, close to the school there was a library; it was a big library, much bigger than one would expect from the neighborhood.

I would quickly make my way to the library and hide out until around dinner time and then, when the streets were clear, I would make my way home. I'd always been a curious kid, but for the first time I started reading science magazines. I quickly graduated to reading Scientific American. I read all of the years issues (1963) and then started reading the bound issues going back over 10 years. I was fascinated with Marin Gardner's columns and the Amateur Scientist columns that appeared in every issue. I also started reading Popular Electronics around that time. I also read every math and science book I could understand in that library.

I was learning very little in the public schools they weren't good. The thugs in my classes were disruptive and prevented the rest of us from being able to have good classes. My homework and science projects were stollen or destroyed out of spite, but it was always peaceful in the library where I kept reading.

My parents finally moved from that place and I finished the last two years of High School in a suburb where all of my friends were good students and all planning on applying for college. I was quickly promoted to the honors classes and ended up as the top math and science student in a very large school. None of this would have been possible if that library had not existed. I ended up at MIT and obtained degrees in Math and EE/CS. I've been very successful and I attribute that to my love books, especially technical books, fostered by my time at the McGregor Public Library.

Sadly, that library is now closed. There is now a locked fence around the building. [1]

Consider the various expected roles of men and women across time and culture, specifically where those expectations change as a consequence of the culture changing.

For a non-techy, the hurdles you just described are an annoyance in the way of getting a quick charge - not obvious security issues. After all, this charging station is operated by the amusement park/airport/conference/whatever... if it asks you to approve it why not?

And yes, in the past many iOS jailbreaks were shockingly simple. The website one in particular - you went to a URL and clicked a button... your phone rebooted and was jailbroken.
So get it replaced. You're implying that this is an ordeal, when it simply isn't. Using a device until it no longer functions is the best option, clearly. If it's still functional, reuse it or have it recycled, safely and properly. Where is the issue? The option to extend the useful life exists where the existing battery can be replaced and, if done properly, recycled.

You trying to suggest that user replaceable batteries are the best option. I'm not sure that this is necessarily true. While it is beneficial that these devices are easier to repair, the are downsides to this. The obvious one is how many people will responsibly recycle their batteries once replaced? A battery left in a drawer is as bad as it not being recycled or being irresponsibly disposed of. The point is, it isn't as open and shut as you are implying.

The financial climate in 1908 was entirely different from the one in 2023. Please try to understand that I would love to see an EU competitor to every US firm that operates at scale in Europe for something that Europe could provide itself. Then maybe check out my bio and see that I've been a tech investor since ~2007 and have a significant amount of money on the line to back EU companies and to help them succeed when and where I can.

Even so, I'm realistic enough to know that there is no way the EU VC scene could compete with Sandhill Road when it comes to valuations and that's why any significant success created in Europe will sooner or later be US based. Examples aplenty.
We’re so far away from doing what makes sense with regards to climate change that working out if one move makes sense in isolation is impossible.
I hope there is (or will be) a way to use io_uring for the sorts of purposes that the syscall boundary is currently used for. The example I have in mind is https://rr-project.org/ which uses the syscall boundary to isolate nondeterminism in order to implement record/replay debugging. I'm not sure how it can accomplish the same thing with io_uring; it would need to be informed of all updates to the shared pages or something?
As a 'professional coder', I've been very much pondering - and experimentinng - with how best to use AI coding tools.

For big, complex, programs I work on (multiple C programs up to 100k LoC) it's hard to frame a question in such a way that it doesn't need to know details of the codebase. For peripheral stuff it's pretty useful as a quick way to get some cut'n'paste code ('write me code to read the load average on linux and log it to a file every second' - I know exactly how to do that, but it's a faster typer).

So initial take is it's a very useful new tool - so sort-of a corollary, people who learn how to use it quickly and well are going to have an advantage in the short term. And even if/when everyone uses it, some people are going to be better at using it (i.e. asking the right question - like I find myself groping around for, when asking it about UK company law earlier today).
I would definitely say that the big social network sites are bad for the internet and bad for "real world" society as well; I think it's a perfect example of an externality that they ignore in going for money at all costs.

"The foundations of the discussion are just some speculation about the leakers character, so it's a lot of wasted words until more is known conclusively."

It's not really speculation when you're taking their own statements found on video. And either way is at least a theoretical example to answer the original question.
This is completely unrelated but I will never understand why people make throwaways for comments like this - I make all my own dumb snarky comments on this account and it's never anything more than like -5 points. Who cares?
I am quite sure that “break down of gender roles” happened so long ago that modern person doesn't really understand that the whole experience of the world is different in a different era or place. They picture themselves as they are, only in clothing they are familiar with from media products or history book illustrations.

Say, you are in a traditional agricultural society in less than perfect climate. Then you have to sweat your guts out working on crops as much as they need, each year, from childhood to the old age. It's not an option, it's not a choice. Illness or “feelings” are not an excuse. And then bad weather can turn the hard work of many months into almost nothing.

Say, you are in a traditional patriarchal family. It is a solid productive unit, not an association of “individuals”. If it is good, it's good, if it is bad, it's bad. Everyone shares the fate. Of course, there are many possible ways for the person to act, but the frame that define the common base for all actions is set in that manner.

Even more so, the description of people as “individuals” that have “feelings” have itself appeared not so long ago, in a specific age and place. Different ones need people who think differently.
Depends on the president, in fairness.

Comparing it to pasting code into GPT4 (the chat interface), how much better is it? I can't wait to see what this can do when an entire codebase can be held within the context window.

I would say the main issue is that these people have very bad self esteem problems coupled with being introverts and the modern online worlds ability to endlessly distract you.

In the past, pre-internet most of these people couldn't live like this, they'd be forced out of their homes from boredom, but with the internet that's just no longer true.

The only way to fix it is to fix peoples self esteem, but these are likely the last people in the world who'd willingly go to something like therapy, I can't imagine subsidies are really going to help.
