"Most of the best, highly experienced people in this industry never post in chatrooms or forums."

Chatrooms, forums, IRC, and mailing lists are how the vast majority of open source software is developed. Usenet used to be big for this sort of thing as well. Most of the people working on open source are also employed in the industry.

Are these people going to spoon feed you everything you need to know? Of course not. The vast majority of insightful information I've learned about software engineering has come from books and people online. My current employer briefly employed some well known people in the Ruby community, but for the most part, most of us work with people who just see this as a job, and these sort of people seem determined to relearn every lesson and reinvent every wheel.

> As for drilling or sawing through it, that's going to take hours to do.

This is true for expensive commercial safes, but not for home safes. You can drill/saw through them relatively quickly. What you can't do is drill/saw through them without making a whole lot of noise.
Ah I wouldn't call that teaching it something new (like a concept), but giving it prompts and responses. It is really cool, though!
This is incredible. Is there any more recent photos/video of how it looks now?

I worry that in the final analysis our conclusion will land on "yes we made this technology because we were excited by the possibility of the benefits, but sadly it turned out to really not have been worth the downsides"
There was a suite of tests, that sadly fell to bitrot. One of the developers in the community created a parallel application that could test implementations, but then this too ended up unmaintained[1].

Peter Attia has an interview with Robert Sapolsky that was recently “rebroadcasted” - “ The impact of stress on our physical and emotional health” [1]

Highly recommended listening.

As a neuroendocrinology researcher, much Robert Sapolsky’s life work revolves around the questions your pondering on. He has spent years studying wild baboons in Kenya, “ .. specifically, Sapolsky studies the cortisol levels between the alpha male and female and the subordinates to determine stress level.” [2]

> just stop mowing

Oof.. this must be regional. Around here if I stop mowing I would have a yard full of tumble weed, goat heads, and white top. All of which are invasive species. The best I can do with native plants that will live without much intervention is sage brush and compacted soil which is neither pleasant to look at or pleasant to live in. =/
I've wasted more time than I care to admit reading about this today, and I don't see any hint that they're related. The two aren't in any way equivalent anyway.
Same setup here. Hoping for even more input devices in more places to spread the load. For instance there's also some folks building ergo keyboard with trackpads near the thumbs to replicate the MacBook experience of a trackpad below spacebar for the occasional pinch zoom or scroll. And having various buttons/knobs for specialized tasks would also be great.
i just finished an esp32 design with incredibly aggressive power savings as the primary goal

it saves persistent variables to non-volatile storage and deep-sleeps at 15-20uA according to my power profiler 2, waking up on a timer

when it wakes up, connects, checks battery, and updates display, it can peak 350mA, but mostly stays around 100-150mA while it works
> The solvents we need in this case are the healthier methods of fulfilling these longings.

Terrible take. Algorithmic feeds and ad-tech has continually optimized how to get and maintain our attention. It is ridiculous to think "going into nature" or any individual solution is the answer. We blame pharmaceutical companies for making addictive drugs, why don't we blame tech companies for making addictive apps?
> The mistake they make is a classic short-run vs. long-run miscalculation. In the short-run, you can get away with these kinds of tactics to increase compliance.

...

> But in the long-run, people will become more familiar with these tactics, such that they will become less effective (e.g. waning trust in the media).

I though that too ~20 years ago. I live in a small country with elections every few years (usually less than the full term of the government) and a "one supposedly rightwing party" vs. "a bunch of supposedly left wing parties"... the mix of left wing parties also slowly turned to "a new face + a bunch of old parties" recently.

Every pre-election period we get a bunch of people advocating online and in person, that if "party X" got elected, they'd solve the "problem Y", because they can do it, and "current party" is blocking them... somehow those same people (and not just fresh 18yo going for their first election) forget, that party X has been in the government 3 years ago, and the government before that, and before that, and that the "problem Y" has existed for atleast 20 years (healthcare, housing,...), and they did nothing.

People either forget or are gaslighted by the media.

> assassination attempts

This happens when problems get unsolved and worse and worse for years... bad healthcare, especially mental health, depression, drugs, save 10k, but the apartment you wanted is now 30k more expensive, average rent higher than average pension, etc., create more and more people with nothing left to lose.
I never install anything but a vanilla macOS, and don’t have any kexts.

Been like this for years.

I guess now we know why it’s not fixed if this is the Apple engineering mindset.
I'm not very good at this but I'll see if I can explain my thought process:

(is tiger fed) requires (eats tiger ?food)

which means there must exist ?what such that (is ?what eatable) and (is ?what ?food)

But in the fact table, nothing is actually eatable! We could have our tiger eat plants by asserting (eats tiger plants) and (is grass eatable), but that's two assertions. Tigers eat animals, and tigers ARE animals, so since we need to make something eatable we might as well do it on the only animals we have: (is tiger eatable)

I got level 2 as well but only after checking for hints in the source. I have been thoroughly nerd-sniped.
I am extremely militantly atheist, but I remember growing up with the church and experiencing community. There were weekly potlucks and all the church kids would hang out frequently while the parents drank. There were various clubs like choir you could just show up and be accepted.

Today we see things like christian parents abandoning their gay children, wanting to "cure" trans people, or "christians" voting for trump and it's clear that religion and therefore, for many, community has been corrupted by politics. From the outside religion seems more about hate than love. An irony considering the teachings of Jesus.

The internet exposes people to other people all around the earth who grew up in different environments, it makes clear that religion is a tradition, not a truth to be measured and understood, it is clear that region is in decline.

The tragedy is that what was once a centerpiece of community has dwindled, and I think we are seeing the effects across society. Lack of community promotes addiction.

We used to be born into community and baptized into it, but now we are left seeking it ourselves without guides like pastors. Community has been replaced with therapy. What we were once born into is now something we have to work for and pay for, and I don't think that as a society we have figured out what the next evolution of community looks like.

Whatever it is that the app developer thinks IS SO ABSOLUTELY FUCKING IMPORTANT THAT THEY NEED TO STEAL MY ATTENTION AWAY RIGHT THIS GODDAMN SECOND, just isn't actually that important to me.

My relationship with a lot of applications is like a clingy sidepiece that I'm about ready to dump if they get any more annoying.

Maybe using a term of art for a brand name was a terrible idea to begin with. "Bard" makes sense. "GPT" is a bad name.
>And being an employee is super super relaxing compared to being an employer.

If you're starting a business or just run something that barely gets profit yes. Else, after you have a cool few million in the bank, it's only stressful if you want it to be stressful and you're that type.

>Employees can go home at 5 while I worked the weekends.

For billions of people around the world (including hundreds of million in the first world), employees are expected to suck it up and work late nights, do whatever BS the employeer asks them to, work to the bone for minimum wage, and so on, if they even want to put food on the table. And they don't end up with any equity, even if they did all the hard work, and the employer is just some trust fund baby with family connections who just had some hazy "ideas"...
Egypt's previous de-desertification project "Toshka" kinda of worked. It wasn't the massive job creator that it was sold as because most of the farming was very large scale and mechanized. But it was able to produce large amounts of high quality food that Egyptians rarely saw because it was more valuable for export.

Here are some photos I shot of it for The National: https://www.daviddegner.com/photography/toshka/
RedPajama at 440B tokens higher quality than Pythia and StableLM
A week ago we announced RedPajama, a project to create leading open-source models. We released the first step in the project a training dataset of over 1.2 trillion tokens following the LLaMA recipe.

Today we shared progress on training our first model on this dataset, a 7B parameter model using the Pythia architecture. So far we are a bit less than 50% through the training - 440B parameters. We published HELM benchmark results on 16 different scenarios for this checkpoint, showing the model accuracy to be quite high for this stage of training.
I second this. I’ve never used it, talk to friends, and yet it’s still sitting there at the top.

> What were the cortisol levels like for that average homo sapiens?

Much much lower actually. We use the same stress response for seeing a lion that we do to stress about making a mortgage payment. That's why we get ulcers and zebras don't

On top of that Homo sapiens also just had much more freetime and the median lifespans were actually not too far off from what they are today (~72 years[0]). Yes there was a huge dip in lifespans in (some) agricultural societies and when the industrial revolution started and there's definitely a lot of variation in difficulties faced but overall on average prehistoric peoples were healthier and much less stressed out than the average American is today. Also peoples that lived on islands and certain other ecosystems didn't really have to deal with predators at all. Predators are very unlikely to be the biggest source of stress in general as even the most dangerous of all predators, big cats, are very unlikely to attack a group of humans. As long as you're with your tribe you generally don't have much to fear.

How does anyone learn anything?
This is sorta a broad question, but how does anyone learn anything that is complicated or technical of nature? Even simple things are sprangly hard, like finding the correct formula to manipulate data in a spreadsheet a certain way. Online tutorial and guides may only answer some question or cover certain things and not be useful for specific problems. Overflow and exchange sites users get mad when questions are two trial or poorly worded, but part of the poor wording comes from the fact you don't have enough knowledge to be able to articulate the problem well. Some tutorials do not cover the level of abstraction you need answered and it is not possible to infer the correct answer. So how does one get out of this rut and actually become good at something when guides are so poor and ad-filled (Google is becoming increasingly useless as well for finding things due to spam) and people unhelpful? Other tutorials are useless and do not work when following steps.
And many America cities flat out refuse to contain construction noise. As someone very sensitive to noise, it strikes me as pure stupidity and barbaric in how we construct buildings and fix our cities with no consideration of its effects. People act like they aren’t effected but most people seem quite out of touch with what actually effects their moods and stress levels.
He said "monopoly power", not "monopoly". You can have monopoly power without having a monopoly.

Antitrust law in the US doesn't actually really care about monopoly. It cares about monopoly power.
I haven't used OCaml much directly, but F# is a common enough tool in my toolbelt at this point. My experience of F# is that overall it's a good language family. The access to .NET's standard library (the BCL) and easy interop with C# are the biggest reasons F# is the tool I more often reach to as it already fits the ecosystem most of my other development is in, but I'd love to work more directly with OCaml should the need arise.
The C interface for aligned memory allocation is aligned_alloc(). The returned pointers are always freed with free(). So what is probably happening is that aligned new calls aligned_alloc(), and then aligned delete simply calls the regular delete, expecting to end up in free(), which by design should work with both kinds of pointers.

I think the problem here is partly with the implementation of aligned new/delete. Since one is free to override only the old versions, the ones supplied by the standard library should make sure not to fall back to functions that may be partially overriden.
Unfortunately this is exactly the type of stuff that makes supporting commercial apps on linux a nightmare. Weird crashes due to weird linking of system libraries.

Common distros are very adamant about dynamic linking everything in order to support the use case of "core library has vulnerability, upgrade it in place without rebuilding consuming apps." Along with a desire to avoid "dll hell" and force a single canonical version of every library systemwide. This leads to these sorts of issues.

Windows gets around it by letting applications put the DLLs they care about beside the executable, and having it check there first by default.

TLDR:

Your exec team and investors (the board) can monkey around with any non-IPO acquisition to make sure they get paid before you as a regular employee.

1) They can put a "deemed liquidation" clause in the company's legal docs so that sales are treated as liquidations. Therefore the preferred stock gets paid before the common stock, making investors whole.

2) Management will negotiate a retention agreement despite the fact that the common is worth 0 to get themselves paid.
I know how Windows Boot Manager (aka WBM, BOOTMGR) works. :P

EFI or BIOS loads WBM, which resides in the EFI system partition or active partition (also tagged "System") as applicable, which then reads the Boot Configuration Data (aka BCD) also located in that partition. Windows itself is located in a separate partition from WBM and BCD.[1]

WBM then boots a specified Windows installation from a given partition, which is tagged as "Boot". If desired, WBM can also chainload into another bootloader (eg: NTLDR, Windows 9x bootloader, GRUB, etc.) to boot something other than Windows NT6 and up.[2]

If the point of the lesson truly was to identify that the exercise was chosen deliberately to be deceptive, then sure. But I doubt it. Your example is very different, because there’s no obvious answer that one might spit out instantly by doing naive pattern matching.
Ah, I agree with your conclusion but not about sharing db's. Sometimes its literally the only way to share data (particularly very large sets of data).
Between this new tool and https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat I am starting to feel like (at least from my filter bubble) that the web may be slightly starting to think about maybe someday turning the corner on centralized-by-default model for building new applications.

You're right, fake LSD is rampant and it's important to screen for it using a reagent test!

If this is the case, due to the long comeup I'd suspect the author took a drug in the DOx family. But there's no definitive telltale sign of it, a long comeup can theoretically happen on LSD as well. ^1

LSD analogues (1P-LSD, AL-LAD, ALD-52, etc.) are generally very similar to LSD, to the point where most unknowing users might not know the difference. They are also more expensive to obtain, so they are rarely ever sold as fake LSD. Some of them may even be prodrugs and therefore identical aside from slightly different potency.

Most fake LSD will instead be a different class of psychedelics entirely, usually a phenethylamine, such as the DOx class of substituted amphetamine psychedelics, or 25x-NBOMe. 25i-NBOMe is a pretty bad one.

Bromo-DragonFLY is said to be utterly horrible. Thank god it's rare.

Not all phenethylamines are bad, though, such as 2C-B and mescaline, but the ones sold as fake acid are usually terrible.

---

^1: Something I find extremely fascinating -- different psychedelics are notorious for feeling wildly different to psychonauts, yet when you actually compare two psychedelics, LSD and mushrooms, a lysergamide and a tryptamine, in a double-blind controlled trial you get a list of reported subjective effects that is nearly identical. Can human language not describe the differences, or is it more based on expectation of what you think you are taking more than anything? What if you did the same study but had them write an essay instead of a list of effects? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-022-01297-2
I work for a (pre-covid) 100% remote company with a decent company culture. What worked for us is two whole-company meetups per year plus some smaller trips for teams and departments. It really boosts the team spirit to spend a week somewhere nice with plenty of time to just chat to mates and random people that I wouldn't otherwise meet.

We also have some online social activities during the year but it doesn't work as well. The participation is low. Teams have regular online (paid-for) lunches together which is nice but a bit awkward. People generally prefer to focus on getting the job done and having a good work-life balance. This works as long as we get to see each other in person a couple of times a year.

That said, with the recent economic down-turn, the company meetups got put on hold. The company grew and it's now very expensive to organise transport and accommodation for everyone. I can already see the negative effects of the decision.
The comments I see getting crushed are really out there, but then I stay out of the political threads. I see downvotes as a way to sense the limits of the community without actually hurting anything.
Isn't that the same as any other company offering services for money? The fact that they give freebies doesn't make them "open". It would be far too vague, nevermind that "open" already has a specific well-established meaning in the context.
So obviously what he's doing is unethical. The quality of the information is pretty bad...

But what about, say, selling a coffee table art book. "Visions of the Future" - like 50 good quality scifi images with captions generated by, oh, Midjourney?

Not really, trademarks are industry-specific, and having a registered trademark in another industry where there is no reasonable confusion is not an obstacle.

For example, "Oracle" is a valid registered trademark for cigars and for archery bow sights and for many, many other things, despite also being a trademark for one of the most litigious firms in the software industry.
