You caught me, in that she’s 100% open to new evidence. Kinda why she is so effective.

So, over the past decade, Hossenfelder made a series of videos and talks about “dark matter is real.” And then “is dark matter real?”

Her opinion evolves. But the conclusions are generally that the data points to a measurable thing along many lines of evidence.

I find the cosmic web the most compelling, personally. Like, what else could that be besides a mystery? You can’t draw the web in some other configuration, it’s a real thing somehow.

From my understanding. Her hesitation that she expresses is more linked to an underlying intuition: the universe is completely deterministic—we just can’t see all of the rules being computed, and the initial conditions are intractable.

I also find that pretty compelling.

No

Also no

Deming says that's bad

That's built-in

Exactly not

Yes, they've misinterpreted what Deming was saying. Seems to be a common affliction.

When I first got into Linux it seemed like a lot of people mostly used Linux to configure desktop environments and Conky to take screenshots of.

There's a Buddhist parable about someone spending their whole life building a boat to cross a small river and dying before they made it across.
The issue isn't unexperienced devs not knowing about stuff. The issue is whether devs with no experience are willing to learn new stuff or not. We all had zero experience at some point.
I haven't, because I also wanted to reduce the time to maintain infrastructures.
Start with the wikipedia article on 'Range Safety'. Seems I was wrong, SpaceX started this only later, not already with Falcon 9.
Hi Sam!

I stumbled upon your DB service several times, and considered it several times suggesting it as the DB of choice for my customers (uxwizz.com), but the pricing is a bit confusing/hard to estimate in my case, which makes it hard for me to recommend it. Any suggestions?
> People don't know each other.

I am sitting in a coffee shop I frequent every morning. Through the years I have been coming here I have made a lot of friendships. I know here these popped live, what they do for a living and many of their political and social views. We discuss a range of topics and we are rarely all in agreement, but it never turns into anything like on the Internet.

I know people. You may not, and that is sad, but I know people.
How will you know the crypto hasn't been broken by "AI"?
That doesn’t seem like cultural context at all. That just seems like the arbitrary decision of the person who created the captchas. I am, presumably, from the same culture as them and would have agreed that pole was part of the traffic light.
And 95% of the time you don't even need Redis.
I need to fix those, they were a bit of patchwork
One quick proxy for age on Reddit is to see how many people are using the official app instead of the third-party

Are teenagers more or less likely to use the official app do you think?
>If on the other hand you have the top selling real estate portfolio management app in the world I don't expect the platform will fold that up in their offerings

Why not? In hindsight, we see "menstrual tracking" as an obvious fit now for a more complete Apple Health, but it's very easy to apply that same exact thinking to menstrual tracking.

Using your real estate portfolio management app, ok maybe Apple doesn't replicate it exactly as is, but what's stopping them from turning Apple Home into a more complete home control experience, where you can buy and sell in an easier way or incorporate Airbnb elements. Heck, having more control over your home totally fits their privacy MO. It might seem far fetched now if you don't have the vision, but again same about things like health tracking just 8 years ago!

So I would rethink this angle, I don't believe the determining factor is if it's a big market vs a niche market. A weather app is a niche market, yet they gobbled that up. An infinite canvas brainstorming app is a niche market, here comes Apple's Freeform.
> where can I use it? Compare this to what’s come out of OpenAI in the last two years

If you are using OpenAI stuff you are using it.

> how is it helping Alphabet’s bottom line? I haven’t seen it helping here either.

I guess I wasn't talking about "bottom line" impressive. Oracle might make a lot by squeezing current licensees in an unimpressive way, for example.
If I agree to sell your product, in the exchange I can obligate you to agree not to direct customers away from my store. Walmart doesn't display advertisements for Target. A grocer that sells Joe's fruit would no longer sell it if it had stickers directing customers to Joe's Fruit Stand. Apple has no obligation to promote competitors. And any competitors are free to create their own package managers and sell their own software, they just can't expect Apple to market them. In commerce contracts, noncompete clauses are legal and ubiquitous. Is Android anti-competitive because I can't run Apple software on it? Apple has not cornered a market through anti-competitive practices. They became successful by selling superior product that is massively popular, and Apple is not the only hardware manufacturer, mobile or otherwise, nor the only software developer. The hardware and software markets have a myriad of vigorous competition on which Apple protecting its IP has negligible or no effect whatsoever. What software developers have AppStore policies run out of business? Developers are making more money than ever thanks to Apple.
Get lost.

No, seriously, get lost. Go out for a walk somewhere remote, let your mental juices flow, and bring a pad of paper to write down whatever comes to mind. Your mind will naturally gravitate to what preoccupies you if you are up for it. Talk to yourself as you walk, visualise what you’ve got ahead. If what you have is a problem to solve, zoom in and look for entry points. No electronics, no phones, no interruptions whatsoever. Then when you get back into your normal life, try and flesh it out or implement it or whatever.
Sounds like Harriot invented it independently and didn't know about the ancient Chinese.
I like OCaml, but if I were to start a new project with an ML I'd probably lean towards F# to take advantage of all the .NET libs
Why do you discount the ability of a bad commit to nuke your application? Should firefighters go into buildings without gear because it would show a lack of confidence in their abilities?
In my limited experience, I would add cacao for MacOS to that list.

I believe that having a common language but using native widgets is the sweet spot for many cross platform projects and teams.
I was actually working on something in this vain yesterday, asking it for output and found it often generated the output I asked for, it was not actually the output of the SQL query that it wrote.

The query it wrote wasn't even valid SQL but it was close enough to make you think it would work.
It's easy to think this will be only bad things, but currently we have volumes of legislation being dropped at the 11th hour and kneejerk judgements on whether to sign it or delegate "the good parts" to understudies and interns to review. If this gets legislators to get a good summary, it won't fix the system but does fix the problem for now.
Well I just learned a shit ton about bed bugs (saw this in another post). Cool.
They should learn to code, oh wait.
> the latter is falsified by the fact we can reason about code despite the Halting Problem.

I'm not talking in general terms, or describing 'what the code does' in a summary or bullet point high-level form. No one is arguing that it can't summarize and describe what code does. These models are very good at that.

I'm talking specifically about generating the output of the command, as the OP specifically mentioned.

It does generate the exact output for commands and scripts if you request it, sometimes even if you don't, just as an example; they're just, often, hallucinated rubbish.

Being impressed that GPT can invent from 'thin air' some creative writing (fiction) when you tell it `pretend you're a docker container and now run 'ls'` is I feel, missing the boat, in terms of understanding or being impressed by the capabilities of these LLMs.
Sure, I'll simplify it:

1. company pays workers to work in warehouse

2. tornado warnings happen

3. company doesn't warn workers in warehouse

4. warehouse in a country where tornadoes happen often doesn't have a tornado shelter

5. tornado kills workers

I hope this makes it more clear! Feel free to ask if things are still confusing.
I would guess it's because most climbing gear isn't performance-related, shoes being the main exception. (And chalk is chalk... I think.)
For now, at least, Rust for Linux actually requires Nightly features, so it's even less stable than the requirements of many relatively fast moving but popular Rust crates in userspace.

As with Firefox, Linux (ab)uses the compiler's own environment hack to say "No, I want nightly features, I don't care that this invalidates my warranty" despite using a stable compiler.

The actual version used is, I think, currently 1.66 (so, about three months old).
Isn’t that ignoring the capital costs for the gas generators?
Todoist and Obsidian for me. I linked them with extensions. Obsidian is my notebook and Todoist keeps me on track. People that go this deep into pkms aren't efficient workers. They can be extremely helpful, but this sounds frankly unhealthy and unhelpful.
A bug in Safari:
As you scroll to the end, the second-to-last card blocks the last card. Kind of poetic that it’s QEII and Charles.
I always just thought of them as a second dimension to the number line. 2D numbers, if you will. That enables rotation as well, of course, as such a thing doesn’t make sense in 1D. And for certain situations this helps resolve ambiguities that would be difficult and messy without this extra dimension.

Like Quaternions, which add another dimension to our 3 to help solve ambiguities with Euler angles and gimbal lock. Going another dimension up makes the solutions much more elegant.

EDIT: the difference between complex numbers and 2D vectors (as I understand it) is just that you can’t really multiply 2 2D vectors together to get another 2D vector (you need to multiply a scalar times the vector to get a vector), but you CAN multiply two complex numbers together to get another complex number.

To do multiplication with 2 vectors you need to introduce new things like the “inner product” (dot product) to produce another vector (as opposed to “outer product” which produces yet ANOTHER kind of thing, a matrix) whereas with complex numbers you can use regular multiplication without introducing new types of multiplication.
Because they're different languages?

It's more insane to me that one wants the same tool to do everything rather than have different tools for different tasks.

Like should Perl be compiled with GCC just to satisfy that requirement because it's used during the kernel build? That's ridiculous!
I'm not sure why the existence of people who attempt to redefine "harassment" as "upsetting or inconveniencing me in any way" means one cannot use the established legal or dictionary definitions of it when attempting to draw guidelines and laws for conduct in online spaces...?

Like, I'm sure that there are loopholes and gray areas in the dictionary and legal definitions; the English language is woefully inadequate to fully convey the breadth of human experience. But nothing you've described falls into that category.
FWIW I think this is good advice for any tool. You don't have to (and shouldn't) read the manual front to back, but you absolutely should look at the table of contents and at least start reading the introductory material.
As an aside, I love ONNX and the main reason I'm sticking with PyTorch. I was able to develop and train an RL model in Python and then convert it to ONNX and call it from C# production code.

It still took a lot of effort but the final version is very performant and reliable.
We've been living in the (golden age?) of crowdsourced information for a while now.

AI-generated content at scale (especially if it has marketing dollars behind it trying to influence future models) may well cause a resurgence of curated / authenticated information services.
Yeah, no more business and work taxes. But also zero wealth captured by very few capital owners. Money stays in the hands of the workers/consumers so they have money to fund stuff bottom up or if necessary pay higher taxes. It's way easier to effectively tax the workers than tax the capital owners when it comes to it.
There's is good money in the trades.

I've done a few small home repairs myself (changing faucets, putting in hard wired smoke detectors, swapping a garbage disposal, putting in a new toilet, and others) I watch a few Youtube videos, and if I'm confident I can do it myself without flooding my house or electrocuting myself, I will. Sometimes it takes an extra trip to the hardware store, because I'm missing a part or tool.

Each one of these repairs would be $300 or $400 minimum in this area. Actually, probably more, since I'm basing that on pre-pandemic prices when I had other things done. I'd guess more like $500 minimum today.
You have described the 2010's for me succinctly. Wow.
No problem. Happy to help with anything else if you need. Just reach out.
Well, think of it as a term of art and less a description of the ground truth. We can bike shed whether it's the best description, but it's what we have.

Indeed, there are plenty of examples of similarly reductionist terms used throughout history.

For example, until recently the western world marks the era of history in which we live as existing within the reign of our Lord, Jesus Christ [0]. We have now invented a backronym to work around this unpleasant detail, but we couldn't even get so far as to switch out the letters (so as to avoid upsetting people who we know are going to keep thinking in terms of "anno domini" regardless).

There's also the related "Christendom" [1] term which was in broad usage.

They may not generate garbage per se, but they do generate bullshit. Or if you want to put it more positively, they are consummate improvisers. The amount of guidance they require cannot be understated, since while they demonstrate phenomenal capacity for production of language, and understanding of language, they do not yet demonstrate much in the way of capacity for control or alignment.

A technology can be both wildly powerful, mindblowingly cool, and deeply imperfect. I don't believe it's intellectually dishonest to emphasize the latter when it comes to impact against the human beings on the other end of the barrel. Especially when the technology starts to break out of the communities that already understand it (and its limitations).
The "Digital garden" part also makes very little sense. Notes on personal wikis. What? How is this part of the social web?
one can only hope that they use it at least in tiny part to allow for just a little bit more whimsy in the maze of bureaucracy. An occasional artistic flourish of pirate speak or poetry in subsection 37B, while preserving meaning could be wonderful. Remember that a lawyer will be the one using the tool, so its at least possible this could be done without major issues
Borax also works really well against ants. I had a terrible infestation, and put it all around where they were coming inside. It must have wiped them out at the source when they brought it back to the nest, because I never saw them again, even outside.
Talking about ideals is nice and all, but unfortunately we live in reality. Bob can't help Chuck over there unless Bob can afford to be charitable.

Put another way, you need both will and power to do something. Just wanting to be charitable never helped anyone, you also need the means to be charitable.
A significant amount of these issues are solved by sticking to Core, Dune, and avoiding imperative blocks
I haven't been able to find a coherent comparison of what targets are supported by gcc vs llvm. Wasm ptx, and spirv seem to be llvm only? But the gcc list is kind of confusing. 8051 is mayne gcc only? Or is that even supported by gcc? Other than 8051, all the uc stuff I'm familiar with was in llvm. I'm not sure what 68k support means though, there have been so many variants. More simply, what machines will I be able to compile rust for once this hits that I couldn't before? Gameboy? C64?
Who is not to say google et al doesn’t have an in house army that re-annotates images with a low score and store it in a parallel dataset?
To this day, I wonder if the crack I found in the 90s or early 00s for some kind of forensic software was real. It was a file containing precise measurements for a hole you had to drill into the CD you burned the software on to circumvent the copy protection … It sounds like a joke now, but back then I was impressed.
Have you seen the other demos:

> The credit companies did take into account the likelihood that they wouldn't be able to repay (both willingly and unwillingly), that's the reason for the interest rate they charge.

The problem is they aim to not get paid back in full so they receive payments far in excess of the original loan amount in perpetuity. They aim to trap the people in a bad spot taking their loans.
Sabine's theories look like a New Age bullshiter parroting "quantumagical" nonsense to sell books, sorry.
Companies were rushing to VR/metaverse as well. I think we can just accept that any new shiny piece of tech will attract an army of grifters trying to capitalize on it and those comparisons won't tell you too much about the tech itself. Fwiw I've seen a lot more LLM demos that made me go "this idea can probably work and be used by millions" than those for VR or blockchain.
I consider it an advantage because you get a version-locked dependency on the tool that is easily updated along your other dependencies.
Eh, not really. Criminal law is by-and-large generally consented upon.

A vast majority of the population agrees that sexually violating a child is morally reprehensible and fit for a wide range of punishments. And that’s been a social standard for most of the world, for a REALLY long time.

I’m not sure about the number of people who agree or disagree with cocaine being illegal. But everyone knows it’s self-destructive behavior that can easily boil into destructive behavior for others. Therefore, most people I know understand why it’s illegal and agree with it.

So my original point still stands. It’s largely not-optimized, and largely consented upon on the large points that matter concerning violence and preservation of life. That doesn’t make it without flaws which, by nature makes it unoptimized.

> Recently, the browser extension, which is my main interface for 1Password, has been acting up.

> I use browser extension in Edge on macOS. I am on a page signing up for a new website and want to save credentials. It doesn't. Keeps erroring out. Disabling and re-enabling extension, and then refreshing the tab finally fixes it. I reached out to customer support and they told me to sign out to force refresh the cache. I did it, but the problem wasn't fixed.

I've had the same issue, support told me the exact same thing:

1. Lock the 1Password app (which also locks the extension).

2. Unlock the 1Password app (which also unlocks the extension).

If the issue is still present, please go through the steps below to fully re-sync your account:

1. Right click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and choose Settings.

2. Under General, disable "Integrate with 1Password app".

3. Under Accounts & Vaults, sign out of your account.

4. Sign back into your account.

5. Go back to General, and re-enable "Integrate with 1Password app".

I told them it didn't help at all, they claim they've released a fix for "one of the possible causes of the bug", in the beta version of the extension, they asked me to make a new chrome profile and install the beta version but I just didn't bother at that point and just lived with it..
The solution might be as simple as paywalls and user verification and accepting anything in front of a paywall is just AI generated spam trash. Also teaching history out of a history book, or possibly a walled garden online platform instead of wikipedia/youtube.
Definitely a tough frame of mind to be in for metalwork. You remind me that loco-builders are the exception to my rule, though. Maybe clock makers too, but the rest of us are busy on our solid toolposts and NASA-engineered toolbit height gauges.

"Continuous deployment means your mainline is sacred and always in a releasable state."

Well if that is true why not just stop there?
I disagree: it's about humility. We all make mistakes. Having a review process means we are humble enough to admit it.
I came to this thread to say the military bases I was stationed on in the 90s had Hobby Shops where you could get free help from other [probably uncertified DIYers] mechanics and it was the way you did car maintenance if you were enlisted. (Turns out ~$800 a month didn't go very far, even in the 90s!)

But weird coincidence, a few minutes ago I purchased some Park Tools bicycle repair tools to perform some maintenance on my mountain bike after watching a couple of their videos.
Furthermore, for Trump, literally every American was his constituent. Blocking any of them is clearly a violation.

For AOC, her constituents are New York State's 14th district residents. Anyone beyond that is not someone she's actively representing.

Now, does the law make a distinction here? (I'm genuinely asking; I'm unfamiliar with the specific statute.) If it does, then unless AOC was actually blocking a resident of her district, the situations are clearly different.
> It turns into an exercise where the Notion document becomes the goal, rather than a tool to help get work done.

Same, except it's Jira and Confluence. Everything has to have story points assigned to it just so we can say we did an arbitrary number of points per sprint and show a impressive looking graph in retrospectives.
Even more pedantic, but surplus allocation is typically determined by the board of the co-op. While it's probably generally true that this functions a bit like a representative democracy, I have definitely been a member of (and worked for) cooperatives where the board is not exactly aligned with the membership about how to allocate surplus funds. Typically this comes when the co-op's board wants to make a capital investment for long-term growth when the membership may want their discount/dividends/whatever-the-organizations-payout-structure-is more than they care about expanding the scope or mission.
The "solution" for the number 4 is a pretty bad footgun in itself, as it is obviously prone to race conditions.

Didn't read further.
Yes, and as per the very recent ruling, one would suggest that ycombinator is entirely correct in regards to not relying on a singular other company's platform, since they've decided that Apple is within their rights in regards to a walled garden.
