It's cool that the cargo team is embracing formalized postmortems and using them to improve their process.

Although I'm a bit surprised by the seriousness of the language employed; the post-mortem acts like they've dodged a major bullet, when the worst-case scenario would have been "nightly builds fail for a day or two", which, you know, is a risk you've signed up for if you use nightly builds.

It's important to take even minor failures seriously, but I think we should also communicate accurately how serious they are; treating every failure with maximum seriousness leads to the situation where people say "look at how unsafe Rust is, it has a lot of CVEs!" where almost all these CVEs aren't even considered vulnerabilities in other languages.
Not too uncommon in Bavaria and Austria, if the restaurant (or especially beergarden) is quite full - the waiters will even sometimes just place you there or give you the option to leave, or wait. I wouldn't say I've seen it if there are free tables though - but I've also been to regions where this would never ever happen, where your table is yours and yours alone.

I'd say talking to the people at your table is purely optional, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Distributed System Debugging with OpenTelemetry and Teletrace
Long Story Short: To effectively debug applications, consider utilizing powerful tools such as Teletrace and OpenTelemetry. These tools provide comprehensive tracing and telemetry capabilities, enabling you to pinpoint and resolve issues and making your debugging process highly efficient and effective.
Interesting coincidence, 16380 is only 4 off from 2^14 (16384).
That can be much more expensive as it won't automatically find the cheapest option for day passes or multi-day passes. And it's not very convenient to look up and pay separately for every ride if you visit a city and travel a lot.
This should work if you know for certain the transformer model behind GPT is actually working like a traditional transformer, it could be not. We don't know because OpenAI won't let anyone see the internals of the system.

Now, a more mundane hypothesis, if GPT is actually self-consciuous,the most probable answer would be to try to deceive humans from knowing for certain about this fact. You just answer incredible well some questions, some other you seem "confused" or hallucinating

..and the poor meatbag's minds won't know how to go ahead because there is no pattern to follow.
Based on what I have see it is making a really good approximation. Here is a thought problem: if memorized every single result of of a multiplication between two numbers up to the maximum a human can possibly think of, then do I understand multiplication?

My point about mistakes is not that they were made but the way they were made indicates it was attempting to approximate. Someone mentioned a famous mathematician who got basic multiplication wrong, now if you are wrong because you missed some steps in the process that can be proven. But if your mistake is because you guessed the that can also proven by showing defects in your answer were arbitrary.

Pretend you're grading a student, you can tell when they guessed and got it wrong as opposed to tried to follow the process bur misunderstood something or make a critical error.
ClickHouse Anti-Patterns
I think the first sentence can carry a lot more of the weight of explanation than you grant. There was a suspicion of big banks, which result in one particular law. But it also probably related in other rules and other behaviors.
"Company towns" sets off all sorts of alarm bells and rants. But the reality is that, in a lot of smaller cities, there pretty much are one or maybe two dominant employers and everything else exists primarily in service of people working for those employers.

As in the case of one person I know, if you live in Bentonville you're probably working for Walmart and if your position is eliminated and you can't get a new one, you're probably moving.
This isn't bad advice. The obvious risk is you can spend your whole life (and then some) waiting for the world to catch up with your own special weirdness.

But maybe that doesn't matter. Short of starving, some people are happier being themselves than trying to fit into someone else's dream.

Not all people, though! You need to decide where you belong (but at some point it's going to be obvious anyway).
Yes, but that's _state_, not _history_.
IBM had / has an army of sales types running around trying to insert Watson into health care, always reminded me of the Dick Jones character from Robocop trying to pedal the fundamentally flawed ED-209:
"I had a guaranteed military sale with ED209! Renovation program! Spare parts for 25 years! Who cares if it worked or not!"

Such an ethically questionable decision, trying to push unproven / non-functional tech into life or death decision making.
From looking around at the opposition to chemical industry regulations, it seems that knowingly poisoning people still isn’t considered wrong.
It is ok, but still a far cry from London for example, where you simply hold your card while entering and it automatically gives you the best price for your account. So if you drive around a lot as a tourist you just cap at the weekly price once you reach it.

Eh. We still have our entertainment and comforts to distract us. But with the greater and greater divide between the haves and have nots flipping cars might look tame when things change.
I've found ChatGPT quite useful for both coding and learning a language. Even though I have two friends who are native speakers of the language I'm learning, I don't want to bother them with my questions all the time. Especially since ChatGPT will give great explanations about grammar and why something is said the way it is. Also makes for a great practice partner to use your vocabulary and to correct your mistakes. It has definitely helped a lot already
It was certainly discussed that we can't know how long the protection from the vaccines will last. But it also didn't matter much as we needed the protection now, and even a waning protection later is much better than no protection at all.

There were various studies about how the vaccines affected transmission of COVID-19. You don't need unethical studies for that, you can still get that data by observation. The data is a bit noisy as it's affected by all kinds of confounding factors. But we had that data at various points in time. One big problem was that the variants affected that enormously, so the data was out of date at some important points. This was also discussed a lot in the media.

There were various arguments around vaccine mandates that seemed to have missed the memo on the transmission studies for Omicron. This was still discussed in the media, though I found it very annoying that bad arguments were made here by people that should know better.
> Trust isn't optional in a society. If you don't trust the "establishment", then somebody has to take its place...

Do you mean that, for an individual, they must replace the "establishment" with some other authority as a general tendency? Or do you mean that, for society, we must have some authoritative source of truth?

I disagree with both, but I assume you're talking more about the first. Although the first sentence quoted, I suspect, could be used to talk about 'low/high trust' societies, when such a concept (low- or high-trust societies) has very little to do with news media. In any case, even if I lean conservative, I tend to be very distrustful of 'conservative' e-celebs (e.g., Stephen Crowder). I'm distrustful of pretty much any second- or third-hand account unless it's court documents or police reports (and less so the latter if it concerns police brutality). I wish more people had a similar model regarding how much they trust what they hear on the news.

All that said, I'll still take sponsored by NordVPN over sponsored by Pfizer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2LQW1TY0lY, and yes, I know this is from "The Daily Caller", it's the first source I found that compiles these 'sponsored by' cuts, although only the first minute, then it goes into Tucker Carlson ranting).
What is LLVM here, 'large language vector models' (not a term I know)? Or a typo for LLM?
From one side you are correct and entitled to be able to do that. From another, and IANAPsychologist, I doubt the psychological effect of trying to emotionally isolate yourself from people you spend most of your time with is positive.
The whole “network order” of bytes thing is not a given. There’s little endian “network orderings”.

And now it seems most CPUs are little endian anyway, so why do this conversion anymore to “network order” if you are designing a new protocol?
Very nice, I tried on my phone and was really enjoyed being able to intuitively select regions to playback. Very fun.
On the whole I agree with you on this. I'm so often reminded how user-hostile computers really are by my father, who recently sent me a message to ask what Bing is and why his computer keeps asking him to use it. Despite several attempts to explain it, he doesn't really understand the difference between a web browser and a web site, he doesn't really understand that web sites and applications are different, he doesn't understand that Chrome and Edge are different but also the same, he doesn't really follow why a shortcut in the Start menu to a website is different to a shortcut to an application, or where things actually go when he saves or favourites or flags them, the list goes on.

Somewhere along the lines, we have built computer user experiences that bully people into trying to work how computers work, with tons of abstract concepts like "files" and "folders", applications that silo their data, difficult-to-understand application lifecycles and user interface paradigms and settings and so on. Worse is that power users and developers — the same people who have the power to do better — have come to believe that having to adapt to how computers work is an essential skill and not a failing of the computer itself.

The Mercury OS design linked is arguably a massive over-simplification of where computers need to be but some of the concepts really aren't far off what I would probably want to design myself: the idea that applications are really just exposing workflow elements and sane data APIs and not a concrete "thing" you have to interact with or care about directly, so that the user thinks about _what_ they are doing and not _how_ they have to do it.
Or you know you could work towards owning your own business. There are many pathways to get there, more than in any other country.

> prohibiting police from using computer vision isn't it either; they'll just buy the data from a private vendor like ring

The answer to this would be to legislate what data private vendors like ring can and can't collect.

In the end I feel legislation is really the only option; some fancy stuff with crypto like one of the other commenters mentions sounds both complex and error-prone to implement and have it work well, and also risks being cracked either by reverse-engineering or just leaked decryption keys. And if $entity wants to track your car – or anything else – they can probably do so anyway one way or the other. The only real option without having to play whack-a-mole is decent legislation.
Some people don't have much of a social life outside work so colleagues become their friends and support system. It may sound depressing but many are perfectly happy living like this so in that context this sounds like a good deal to me.
> I've never seen it do anything where I thought it had a parsimonious internal model of the problem. For instance I had it tell me about the quadratic equation, and the explanation was fine. When it came to plugging in numbers, it utterly failed, though the presentation was as if it understood it. If it had just a simple calculator inside it, this wouldn't be a problem.

That's - at the moment, AFAIU - a limitation of the tokenizers used to interface with LLMs. Basically, the model "calculates" bullshit because the input layer doesn't get correct inputs from the tokenizer.
My highest score on 2048 was in 2015 when I scored over 120,000. I was close but failed to achieve the 16384 block. If an AI were trained to play that game I would expect similar performance, because there are very few strategies to this game but those strategies will comprise multiple moves to solve for a given problem in the moment.

I also modified the original game code to allow a board of different sizes. The modifications are just a minor fix to the CSS, an input field for board size, an the corresponding JS for that input field.

The alternative was panic and worse.

The journalists didn't refuse to ask basic questions, they only applied a metaheuristic.

There were already MILLIONS of people worldwide thinking the vaccines were a ONU/bill gates pedophile-satanic conspiracy, etc. A lot of people not only didn't want to understand the science, but was attacking ALL SCIENCE. Even democracy got at risk. The system had to reorganize somehow, or the bases of civilization would be at risk.

That said, look up Tempelhofer Flughafen, which was right in the city center of Berlin and served passengers until 2008. Now it is just a huge empty field where people do sports and barbecue.
Brain activity of dying people shows signs of near-death experiences
I agree with your first paragraph, but the statement that The Nuremberg Trials were only a propaganda tool is just false and an insult to those who brought many to justice. It certain was a propaganda tool as well but justice is not all-or-nothing. Certainly some justice was had.

>So they wont be paying rent for the rest of their lives to the company, and presumably they can sell the houses later

To newer incoming employees? Who else would buy it?

Not to mention the houses will be near worthless if the company moves from the area.

This ties the employee with the company, but not vice versa.
The hypermedia response is not intended to be a bag of data that the client parses and transforms into a view.

The HTML response is the view. This is how the basic web works. The browser (as a client) knows how to render HTML. HTML also provides affordances (links and forms) to transition state.

Htmx has similar behavior to the basic web. Their client adds additional affordances to HTML and they allow state transition within the page.

People may disagree with this approach but to say it is not flexible seems odd when browsers are the most flexible hypermedia client in existence.
> the example given fits the request: someone killed as a result of an intel leak

Two corrupt spies being regularly tried and executed is definitely not "tons troughout history". That was your claim, not "someone killed as a result of an intel leak", and if all you have is other spies dying then I don't have any problem with it.

What I would have a problem with is civilian deaths resulting from leaks, but for what I see generally leaks reveal more often unauthorized civilian killings than they cause them.
This is also the understanding I came to a few weeks ago. LLMs themselves won’t be confused with AGI, but LLMs with tools have the potential to be more powerful than we can anticipate. No leap to “proper” AGI is required to live in a future where AGI functionally exists, and as a result the timeline is much shorter than anyone thought five years ago.
Its prejudiced because not all folks originally from middle-Eastern cultures now living in Germany are uneducated and poorly-spoken, as the OP implies ..

Its a racist trope.
The US pioneered social darwinism, eugenics, and commercial genocide. Andrew Jackson's ruthless campaigns of extermination against Native Americans a century earlier was a cited inspiration and model for the Holocaust.

If we are our histories, the US are, as a people, still moral and ethical infants.
Nope. About the same, just grumpy for different reasons.
One of the most infamous Cold War episodes began in 1960, when American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers was shot down and captured on a spying mission over the Soviet Union.
A lot of corporations are replacing humans jobs instead of enhancing them with new tech like what the tech gurus say during their TED talks about the benefits of X tech. Another reason to flip cars.
I've said it before, I'll say it again - "too big to fail" should be recast as "too big to exist"

I'm not sure what the best solution is here, but making the big banks even bigger is not it. This is just going to make the banking system more concentrated and no concentrated market is good for anyone. Least of all because the past decade+ has set the precedent that the banks will be bailed out... If they're big enough
No, I fully expect GPS to be off even though cell provider can still triangulate my location. On airplane mode I expect both things to be off. Now, I would like to know what is stopping a class action suit on this subject.
Well America has plenty of outrage, but they're utterly divided and most that outrage just goes into poopooing the other side, instead of something productive like real demonstrations and protests with a real purpose. Instead we get outrage protests mainly designed for extremist groups to waste their time fighting eachother and playing at civil war.
Interesting. Maybe it's a north/south thing? I was in Beijing. Or maybe it was an affluence thing? I can totally imagine an indication stove being a status symbol. But they are far from ubiquitous and common in the country overall, of that I can assure you.
Why would financial speculation be zero sum (or how do you define financial speculation here)?

Awesome-ChatGPT – List of ChatGPT projects and resources
People have been saying "it's better" for 3 years now. One things for sure, I'm not going to go recheck this again, anytime soon. Anything I'll say at this point will be met with "it's better now" and then I'll have to go find out it's really not in classic Julia fashion. The docs for package compiler were awful for about 2 years. See my above comment and other users jumping as to how annoying it is.

Fun Julia story. I remember one time someone, I believe from Julia computing(iirc) was telling me how much better Julia had gotten at something. They sent me links to academic flag plant repositories that had no code in them. Literally empty packages with no branches even with statement of purposes readmes. I offered to work on it and was met with... Academic competition about how I shouldn't do that because a package already existed for it, and how I should try to work with the author on theirs. Meanwhile I already had code for it, it just never went into the ecosystem. I'm highly unlikely to start investigating Julia again in the short term. Maybe in five years.
I think selling the houses is fine. Renting them out, brings up issues of company towns.

But as long as they are sold, I don’t see much of an issue.

If the company is large, it is likely that a significant number of people in any new housing development close to the company would be employees of that company.

In addition, with the ebbs and flows of employment, it is likely that the housing would end up getting sold later at market prices to people who did not work for the company.

In addition, having company built housing, ends up relieving the price pressures on housing in the area.

I think this overall is a good thing, as long as the houses are being sold, not owned and rented out by the company.
Given that a lot of what programmers do is write CRUD-style apps and a lot of TV shows and movies - particularly the big IPs - follow one and the same formula... it's not like that argument has some merit.

AI is rapidly approaching a quality level near to "good enough with a bit of human cleanup afterwards".
nice project. it would be great to update currency
Federal in the American sense is a bit of a false friend for Germans: It means basically the same, but Americans use it to signify the unity of the states, while Germans talk about the states of the Union. So if we say federal borders we actually mean state borders and would otherwise say national or country borders.

trying to insert Watson into health care

They were trying to insert Watson into everything. I used to work at a company that worked with building management systems and we had Watson sales people all over our senior managers trying to get 'collaboration' projects going.
This is fascinating. I've long thought we needed some ground-up thinking in this area.

But I now wonder if it's also why stripped-out UIs like GNOME are favoured by so many folks in (e.g.) the Linux space... which is famously full of neurodivergent people.

15min to pick a filename?! Really?

But I've seen SO MANY desktops like the pics in that blog.

This made me think in different directions. I already knew some users find current models very hard... But that they were this trying for them is news to me.

Maybe that's why some folk like working on iPads instead of laptops?

What is horribly frustrating & limiting to me, might be their exhilarating liberation from the endless suffering of window, and file and directory, management?

Could this be why so many aspie/ADHD-spectrum techies actually like GNOME or tiling window managers & lots of xterms?

My favourite non-pointer-driven GUI has for >~30 years been EPOC16 from the Psion 3 series. That could have lessons to teach here. No desktop, and the launcher is also a categorised columnar file manager with automatic grouping. It was an inspired design.

Bitcoin mining can be thought of as a way to convert energy to $$$ without any transmission costs (long distance wiring, transformers, batteries, etc.)

So, if you have a power source, and it is too far from where energy is needed, just use that power source to mine, and make bitcoins.
I wouldn't really call my neighbours a "part of my personal life". They're just people who live near me and have relatively little impact on my life. If anything, I wouldn't be surprised if people working at my company are more similar/relatable to me than just a random set of people in the same socio-economic class that move next to me.
