Disk space is the least of the problems garbage entries in command history cause.

It's not just commands that are actual for the current session (like ls/cd/cat), it's also incorrect commands or just commands not worth retaining still being saved among with the useful commands.

The most precious is user's time. And when you fzf part of the command with the regularly saved history and would like to re-execute something important - you'll first get a long list that you'll first have to filter to find the command you were seeking.

So to counter your question with another: why store garbage?
Yeah it seems odd. 1.73 million views is probably 'viral' for a super niche topic, 17.3 million views for less niche topics, 173 million views for music videos.

173k views though... wouldn't have been viral since at least 2008.
Covid’s future: mini-waves rather than seasonal surges
You're looking at this from the outside in. Priests consent to having their own thoughts and behaviors surveilled by the Clergy. This is not a legal battle. If the Priest wanted, he could just leave.
I think the OP meant "I dont need a dedicated driver to drive my car [because I can drive it on my own]".

The process is simplified so you can do it yourself if you have the right tool, instead of relying on dedicated professionals. The process can be traveling or designing and writing an app.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make with those edge cases, especially choking with a peanut, but driving your own car is extremely popular, despite those.
I stopped using Atuin because you need one additional click to go up the history, and the configuration didn't provide an easy way to change that behavior.

Edit: apparently, they made it possible to disable that behavior and the documentation is much better
The cool tool makes another cool tool, which in turn makes another cool tool, faster and faster, until we really don't understand at all what the latest cool tool is doing. But it just keeps getting smarter/faster/more effective/whatever it's optimizing for.

That's the basic definition of "the singularity".
Reaper does the same thing: ridiculously inexpensive and insanely well built, one edition, updates every couple weeks, supports an SDK, I could go on.

I think it’s also freemium with a nag screen.

How this is sustainable is beyond me, but I’m thankful every day there are still some SW companies who do amazing things without sucking the life out of their customers at every turn.

> you can get a newer larger house with a larger yard for less money in the suburbs compared to downtown, but the catch is you have to drive everywhere even on the weekends.

That catch is the reason that it is cheaper - it’s built in to the price

All of those parameters are combined into desirability. Everyone has different needs (at different times)

Kids ? Suburbs: Larger house and schools

Young adults ? density and night life

Young adults having kids ? Suburbs
Strains from PD patients and healthy controls had different effects in the animal model. See my summary in a top-level comment.
> With all due respect, if you're not a native English speaker you really aren't in a position to judge what constitutes "better language"

They said "find the edited sentences always easier to read" and that's valuable regardless if you're a native speaker or not. Of course, what "better language" is as subjective as "clean code" so probably won't reach any consensus there.

But all of this is highly subjective in the end, so everyone's opinion is equally worth, native speaker or not.
And hey guys, there are two big open source communities running that focus heavily on running this stuff offline.

KoboldAi

Look them up, join their discords, rent a few GPU servers and contribute to the stuff they are building. We've got a living solution you can contribute to right now if you're super worried about this.

This stuff is actually a very valid way to move towards finding a use for LLMs at your workplace, they offer pretty easy tools for doing things like fine tuning, so if you have a commercially license model you could throw a problem at it and see if it works.
That's an arguable factoid.
It does because the Priests are consenting. It isn't a legal relationship - it is a spiritual one.
> Language is a repository of cultural memory broken down to composable bits.

So we already have examples of discourse in which we alternate natural language with some other, more formal, language: english with formulae (math), english with tabs [less formal] or staff notation [more formal] (music criticism), english with a set of images with formal denotations (memes), etc. Even Montaigne's essays (which were attempts at deriving results, not just explaining established ones) somewhat follow the pattern in that at times they alternate french with classical quotations.

I hope —I think along with eternalban and Hermann Hesse— that we may see the introduction of new combinators, new forms of composition, that are general enough to serve both as explanations of established thought and tools of generating new thought. (cf Aristotle Organon)
The source of the surburban wealth is the city. Proximity to the urban core is the resource used to acquire that money. Those people work high paid jobs or own businesses in the city, then pay their local taxes to the surburb where they live. So the surburbs have better schools etc because of money extracted from the city.

> many area businesses are located in those surrounding suburban counties, with only small offices in the city

I understand why you'd have this impression and in some very exceptional cases it can be true. But look at the gross product of the different counties in your area, not personal income. I doubt this assessment holds up.
Did that update just break something? How bad updates are getting less likely
I'm confused by this. Would you want to just include your codebase, documentation, etc. in some last-mile training? That way you don't need the expense of including huge amounts of context in every query. It's baked in.

There's definitely much to be said in favor of simple function composition.

However, I found the API choices odd because in RxJS the `.pipe` operator is, itself, chained rather than being standalone. Using a standalone `pipe`, such as via Ramda or something home-grown worked just fine, so I found it very strange that they mixed the functional composition style with the object-chainable style.

> I see why it isn’t more widely adopted too

I agree that RxJS is amazing, which is why less adoption is unfortunate. So many projects would benefit from RxJS or something like it.
And Steve Wozniak saved Jobs with the Apple II a decade and a half before that.
It's just kinda crap. It's not the same bloody thing. FWIW, I agreed with the general point but disagreed with the language.

I commented to make the OP aware, as I always dislike being downvoted with no explanation. Shrug, it's not like I can pay my mortgage with HN karma.
Nintendo loves consumer fans. Nintendo hates technically knowledgeable fans.
the justifications in the essay might be poor, but it is sensible to restrict the language of wikipedia to be as unambiguous as possible, given its status as "authoritative on most topics".

For an example in the other direction, wikipedia should ban the word inflammable. Its original meaning, which some authors will definitely prefer (if they are pedants), is entirely the opposite meaning of the colloquial meaning. Should wikipedia pick a meaning for the word, which people are free to ignore, or just outright ban it? (except in etymology wikipedia, where it is an example of a word, rather than part of the explanatory grammar)
Those things are easier to recreate remotely. You can see their actual screen instead of watching on a projector or over their shoulder. Pair programming is even easy to do remotely, there are IDEs that support it. Hop in any kind of voice call and they can talk you through what they’re doing as they’re doing it.

Also, the road taken is interested. They could have go to one of the ports of the British islands, like St. Peter Port at Guernsey. But this would have been dangerous. This part of the English Chanel, is full of smalls rock islands, shoals and one of the most dangerous marine currents in the world : The Alderney Race (or Raz Blanchard in french).
Dude, chill. Plugins are insanely new. Barely anyone has access to them. It just seems like they are widespread because they've been going viral.

The initial blog post was only just over a month ago, and it was announcing alpha access for a few users and developers:

> Today, we will begin extending plugin alpha access to users and developers from our waitlist. While we will initially prioritize a small number of developers and ChatGPT Plus users, we plan to roll out larger-scale access over time.

https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt-plugins

We are literally 1 month into the alpha of plugins.
Wow that's awesome
Peter wasn't shot by Paul, it was John that was shot by Mark, and the whole Paul thing is a hoax.

If you hold common stock in Apple, you have very little right to their assets in a ' collapse to zero' scenario. Preferred stock may have some floor price where the value of a company's assets prop it up, but not the common stock you buy on an exchange.

Ethereum, like Apple, has a dividend. You can stake ETH and earn rewards from the network. Granted, these rewards are accrued in ETH, but they are mostly based on gas fees that users pay the network, which has no dependency on the price of ETH. ETH is bought and sold with dollars so your dividend comes through with a thin layer of abstraction.

However, people don't buy Apple stock for it's asset value or its dividend. They buy it because of the huge TAM of Apple and promise of future growth. Similar to why people buy Ethereum's token.

Let's look at a different stock: DoorDash. They lose money hand over fist every quarter. They have very little assets, and again if you're a common stock holder those shares will be worth $0 when the company is liquidated. However it's still worth a nonzero sum because of speculation and future expectations of growing or turning a profit. Does that makes it a scam? Is their market cap fake because it can collapse to zero say any moment?
the square damp marks on the building walls are real bad. Otherwise i like it...modern building, beautiful landscaping, gorgeous silence
Thanks, math was never my strong suit and I was writing the comment as I was calculating towards the results, never refined and raw, as it should :)
They propose a total ban that does not require fraudulent intent to criminalize possession, an unlimited fine, and ignore that most of the use is just bypassing rentseeking A2P SMS charges? Along with the fact that it’s unclear who is even asking for it. UK similarly banned GSM gateways in the early 2000s but recent court rulings said the way it was banned was illegal and is in the appeals process.
Unless this singularity is able to construct for itself sensors and actuators that can refine existing knowledge and acquire new knowledge, it will forever be hamstrung by the incomplete and static knowledge of the universe that was used to train the initial model. This is where regulation is desperately needed. We must be very careful with the kinds of sensors and actuators that are integrated with these systems. Perhaps none should be allowed.
I tried to checkout nat.dev, but it wants me to create an account to see anything at all. What is nat.dev please?
Could somebody do the same for “nonplussed”? We have now given that poor poor word two opposite meanings. Currently, I have no idea what somebody means when they say they’re nonplussed.
I used to shit on js. Especially node. My opinion changed working in a 65+ team engineering org with freedom to choose languages. There was a clear pattern of js/ts/node teams shipping faster.

Means js is better than _insert_other_language_? Nope. There's always tradeoffs. The best solutions seek to manage essential tradeoffs, while ignoring irrelevant ideology.
You may be right. I found when working from home that leaving to run errands suddenly became a burden. Pre-covid I could stop at the store on the way home from work to grab a thing. With those opportunity trips gone, every trip has to be deliberate.
> Safety isn’t the only reason I’m excited about the Natrium design. It also includes an energy storage system that will allow it to control how much electricity it produces at any given time. That’s unique among nuclear reactors, and it’s essential for integrating with power grids that use variable sources like solar and wind.

I'm surprised this is all he says on this matter. As far as I'm aware, this problem is largely unsolved, and one of the reasons dams can't go away: they're the only power generation technology that we can spin up and down in response to fluctuation in wind power and so on. That's because we don't have a good solution for storing energy on this scale, and thus must use the energy we generate. Have we finally come up with one? A water battery (pumping water into a reservoir behind a dam) is the only one I know of, which doesn't seem to scale well.
I love how the last sentence in the article begins with the word "But". Brilliant.
I wouldn't call this janitorial work. This seems to me to be less like someone cleaning a building than someone replacing every pencil in the building with a #2 pencil, because they believe that type of pencil is the correct type of pencil to use. They haven't made anything materially better, except by their own rigid definition of what the best pencil is--and maybe there are advantages of using a #2 pencil over a #3 pencil, but if you brought that pencil to work, there's a chance you brought that pencil because you prefer writing with it, and you wouldn't want someone, despite their best intentions, replacing your pencil with a 'better' one. Almost no one is going to look at the graphite and not be able to recognize words because it's a #3 pencil and not a #2 pencil.

In my opinion, this isn't what built Wikipedia, this is what made Wikipedia hostile to new contributors.
This is also sub-optimal, as it causes another problem: some of the commands are part of a bigger sequence (the most import property here is that items inside sequences are ordered, the order of commands matters!), so by blindly deleting duplicates - you break sequences.

In SQL there are sessions and transactions. In shell history - we don't have such entities and this sucks. One could configure their bash/zsh to save history into separate files, but you can't teach them later to source them properly (retaining session awareness).
Typescript + functional programming is the sweet spot for me
"good cops" look the other way regarding all the "bad cops" around them so to the degree they are "good" while protecting corruption is not very compelling. The "good cops" that actually have a problem with things tend to not stay cops for long.
Yeah, I can see this being useful for one-off queries, but don't they want to offer some sort of final training ("last-mile" I called it in another comment. I can't remember what the proper term is.) to companies to customize the model so it already has all the context they need baked in to every query?
I hope so, speaking from the perspective of someone who wants to keep their job. But at the same time I feel it's not trivial to bring good arguments against LLMs taking over without resorting to "they can't take into account all the context and might make tiny mistakes". But maybe people can be trained to be verifiers/testers as opposed to code writers.
Big boat very big. Small boat small.

Need to get close enough that someone can go between without a wave throwing the big one into the small one.

Which is why “touch and go” between ships of equal size was considered a test of skill and a bit risky, normally they’d drop a rowboat or dingy. A tiny boat can’t really be crushed as it just bumps out of the way.
I'm blown away by this comparison. One is a supercomputer aimed at helping businesses and the other is a public facing web app that consumers can use.
I thought it was already available for a while on Microsoft Azure?
That's by their own account. Multiple times they mention they don't do the best of caring about our tracking negative comments. They do however do the opposite. It's important to remember this is written by them and is all from their perspective.
The ability to decouple wages from CoL is seen as a huge existential threat to existing power structures. If workers began to believe they have choices, then the old model of management simply doesn't work as well.
The cycle could look something like this: LLMv1 > prompt "get me the code for a better LLM" > paste output to terminal, execute > LLMv2 > repeat.

There are lots of different singularity definitions on wikipedia, most focus on 'intelligence' (eg "an upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a 'runaway reaction' of self-improvement cycles, each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly"). I think focusing on what 'intelligence' really means, or whether any model is 'truly' intelligent can be be a bit of a distraction. So I just emphasized capabilities in a rather generic sense instead.

It's clear that LLMs can compete with humans on many tasks (coding, creative writing, medical diagnosis, psychotherapy,...), and it is conceivable that they may surpass most humans on those tasks some day. If we have models that can outperform most or all humans on important professional and everyday tasks, and also produce new models that perform even better, maybe at an accelerating rate, through means that are ultimately not interpretable for us, I'd say that's pretty close to a singularity, regardless of whether they're 'truly' intelligent. Even more so if they pass a duck test (walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,...).
To be clear: I'm not saying there won't be hosted options. It's just rare for the first mover to survive. The first movers in web-based office software got bought out...by Google. OpenAI will inevitably have some cruft in its technology or unexpected burden in its business model that lets someone swoop in and steal or buy its thunder.
> He’s not shoving it in our faces

But he is?

When someone goes around "correcting" everyone's language and writes a manifesto about it, that sure is shoving to me. It's not working towards a consensus by trying to convince, it's unilaterally imposing, and creating work for others to undo if they disagree. If that's not shoving, I don't know what is.

You're right that factoring into services should be based on natural domain boundaries. That said, it feels like a bit of a strawman to suggest that people are driving their architecture with naive math like this. I've definitely seen journeyman engineers coming out of FAANG and other big companies proposing overly complex service topographies, but there is always at least a veneer of semantic justification.

That's not to say there's no relationship between team size and the applicability of a service-oriented architecture. Microservices are a way of drawing hard boundaries around blocks of logic. These boundaries come with cognitive and operational costs, so they represent significant overhead, but they are a tool for abstracting both logic and physical operations to the maximum degree possible (100% is never possible for a single application). In order to get a net benefit, you have to have enough engineers that they can be experts in a subset of services, and the interfaces to their peer services have to be reliable and stable enough that they can be productive without knowing anything about their internals. So while I agree with you there is no universal floor of microservices that makes based purely on team size, there definitely is a ceiling.

Phoenix is located at the confluence of the Gila and Salt rivers. Municipal water use is flat since the 1990s while the population has increased from 1 to 1.5 million [1]. Its modern canal system is built on the ruins of irrigation works built by the Hohoklams over 1000 years ago [2]. Locations around the metro area have been inhabited for even longer. And finally, agriculture is 70% of water use state-wide [3]. Some embarrassingly large portion of that is used to grow alfalfa which is exported to the middle east where they have actual deserts.

What scenario did you have in mind where the city runs out of water? I bet the nice
folks who actually do this kind of work would love to hear about it. They seem exceedingly confident in their water portfolio [4]. Or maybe you’re just speculating; a little curiosity goes a long way [5].

Testing some random rust code, it's about 15-20 tokens per LoC, so about 1500-2000 LoC in a 32k context.

Interestingly, using 2-space indentation, as soon as you are about 3-4 indentation levels deep you spend as many tokens on indentation as on the actual code. For example, "log::LevelFilter::Info" is 6 tokens, same as 6 consecutive spaces. There are probably a lot of easy gains here reformatting your code to use longer lines or maybe no indentation at all.

Cloudflare strips the edns info from requests. Edns contains the IP address of the client making the request. Cloudflare strips it for privacy reasons. archive.today has an issue with this and therefore refuses to answer dns requests from Cloudflare. According to archive.today this is because not having the requesting IP address prevents them from complying with per country requirements. But archive.today will happily reply to dns requests from other resolvers which don't include the edns info. You can test this yourself using dig with the +noedns flag.
Like, none of what you wrote here has nothing whatsoever with the actual concrete practice test this particular guitarist complained about. Testing scales does not test any of these, actually. It is just absurd to claim that playing scales at practice test is done in order to test how you play "something you have rehearsed accurately" or "ability to transpose".

> If you're as good at sight-reading as you say, you can just read the scales off the sheet music and play them all perfectly the first time, so what's the problem?

So basically, you do not know anything about the test the guitarist complained about.
Couldn't it be argued that it's totally okay to have two separate meanings for "to comprise" as a direct verb (A comprises B), and mean the opposite when used in indirect form (B is comprised of A)?
