Yes. I was very confused for a second.

I don’t think intelligence is a binary property. GPT3 is definitely “intelligent” in some areas even if it is deeply flawed in others.
Exactly :p
For whatever its worth, clojure.js is something I can accept - javascript was made as an attempt at a lisp with C-like syntax - using a hosted language which is a lisp only makes sense, especially that you can then share code with your backend.

And I am no lisp enthusiast, just find the abstraction very minimal there, plus good interop with the host language.
Can I have a list of articles without shortenings of headers? I have an obstruction to open that many items in the right column (20 years and months in every year) and despite struggle to see the items I can not read whole names of articles.
In my view FU money is a state of mind more than a set amount of money. If you still worry despite having a profitable business, you probably aren't there.
I have used it for that very use case while analyzing the terms and conditions of some documents before signing. I still read them all myself as well, because I do not trust the current state of GPT to not miss anything important. But it helped me get a basic understanding and overview before I started my own analysis.
Yeah, you're right about FF chugging on that homepage. I had added a bit of dynamic LOD that attempts to drop quality if the frame rate goes to shit, but that can only help so much. Canvas 2D in FF has more perf cliffs than in the other browsers, in my experience. I'm hoping to learn WebGPU and build some new playful visuals in that, which with any luck should run better on FF.

FWIW, I do test in FF as I work, and it's important to me to make things work well for everyone everywhere... but it's all tradeoffs.
A wise sysadmin buys a drive with more of that hidden internal space, instead of getting a larger drive with less hidden space.

The pricing of enterprise SSDs is... not exactly fair for the performance you get.
That's my instinct as well. The local university had a GGM month that was more like 2 years during the pandemic.

Rushdie also comes to mind. And I can't help but connect a number of similarities between The Satanic Verses and the TV series Lost.
What particularly is lacking in iOS itself that would prevent anyone from developing a functioning cloud/remote sync app?

Working with the filesystem was very tricky in the past but this is no longer the case with https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider for the past 4-5 years.
Get out of social media, journalists.

Who cares whether they are tracking geolocation, device fingerprints, and the rest that everyone else is tracking as well. Instead, journalists should understand that they're training ML models for face recognition, voice recognition, (pseudo-science) emotion recognition, and whatever recognition is hot at the moment. Some academics even call this "TikTok for good" and then scrape people's videos without their consent:

So it's the Brits fault that Pakistan/India immediately went at each others throat the moment they were gone and the solution was to keep both under "supervision" i.e. empire control? When exactly could they have left without that outcome? Or is the idea here that the British empire still exists in the 21st century?

At what point do the people living there take responsibility for ending their own violence, in this scenario?
Ah, if that's what you mean then there are plenty of intelligent systems out there.

I've used Google search for decades and it's been able to answer questions better than humans ever could. Same for Google Maps, though arguably they're the same system at this point. My calculator is far more intelligent than any human I've met, at least when it comes to adding large numbers. My compiler can detect even the slightest syntax error with impeccable accuracy. Microsoft word has an incredible vocabulary. Wikipedia knows more historical events than any human dead or alive. And so on.

Shit, users thought Eliza was intelligent in the 60s.

If what you really mean is that LLMs are cool and useful, then sure. Just say that instead of couching it in some vague claim of intelligence.
It looks like that's why they make the other two points - Corellium progresses common interests by advancing security research, and extends iOS with features Apple does not offer themselves.

This contention seems to rely on their third response, where they claim that Corellium hasn't "overhelped" themselves to copywritten material. This sorta makes sense - their reliance on Apple basically ends once they have the commercial iOS disk image. If they've proven that everything else was lawfully developed and reverse-engineered, it sounds like Corellium had a strong case on their hands.
You have enough of these interviews with people across a range of experience levels and you kind of get calibrated to what to expect at however many years into a career. Usually you get a small group of people who are operating far and above the level of their peers and it's pretty obvious.
The new foreign function & memory interface is sort of like that, given a shared library that runs on multiple OSs you can use it as is with Java.
Capitalism is more about markets for resource allocation and private property than profit.
Yes, but that's not necessarily a good thing when it comes to flamebait. Succinct flamebait often has the most trollish effects, whether you intended it to or not.

Paki here, here to give the sad truth:

while he most definitely profited from this (and other) deals, the fact that this deal was passed through when he was in office without any issue then, and the fact that the other party (the property tycoon) is NOT also been indicted means that there is most definitely a political manoeuvre.

The same happened with the previous PM, Nawaz Sharif. Most people remember his name with the Panama papers, but the funny thing is, that was NOT the reason he was disqualified from office; because that would have implicated other people, and that's a no-no.

Instead he was indicted another, frankly stupid, reason... and used that as a basis to effectively neuter him by disqualifying from holding any public. This is the new tactic our benevolent overlords have chosen. Instead of assassinating someone, or jailing them for life... they just make you ineligible to hold public office and then cut their strings.

I guess the same will happen to this guy also. Meanwhile inflation is at an all time high, and I am worried about staples, but govt is too busy with random shit to focus on nation building.

Like imagine, while elon musk burnt 44 billion dollars for teh lulz, here we are, a nation of 230 million, begging for a single billion dollars just to avoid bankruptcy; we won't even be able to do anything useful with it, we will be begging again in a few months again.

I can't live here, I can't escape from here, it's like some weird Dante's hell type shit. I just envy my deceased father for having outlived this nonsense in 2020.
Came here to see if anyone else was thinking of Hayes commands! Agree, those suck too. Might be worth it to keep this thread in mind next time I have to deal with them to remind myself that new shiny things can be even shittier :)

While I am here: is anyone aware of a solid client library for handling AT commands? Ideally, suited for an embedded environment so C, no POSIX, no malloc, but really anything would do. Even just a solid implementation of handling the client to steal ideas & code from?
No they don't. It just requires there bring a currency they can use in trade without the risk of having their assets frozen.
isn't it just an interface to a proprietary binary which has no source to be read?

ChaGPT Impact on SEO
What are your views on this?
cesaref's comment is not good advice, it's not advice at all, it's a snarky take on how floating point is trickier than it looks

almost invariably floating-point calculations end up in some kind of comparison; if they didn't we'd probably do the calculations in a galois field or something instead

even equality comparison of floats is useful; there are an abundance of seminumerical algorithms which use it correctly on the results of computations. a trivial example is computing an attractive fixpoint by iterating a function and comparing each hare result to the previous iteration and to a tortoise. you have to be especially careful about x87 extended precision here

ieee-754 requires bit-exact results for the five fundamental operations

here is an example where your 'safe' generalization is not safe:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
float f = 0.7;
printf(f == 0.7 ? "ok\n" : "wtf\n");
return 0;
}

this prints 'wtf' on, for example, x86_64-linux-gnu
In that case there's even less of an argument for USB-C ports since it's real world failure rate is much higher . Partly due to the increased complexity, partly due to the physical design, partly due to less stringent quality control, etc...

If you assess failure rate based off whether it can reliably meet advertised claims year-after-year, such that a large degradation would count as failure, then I would dare say real world failure rate are dozens or hundreds of times higher than Lightning ports.
Moreover the spec defines rounding modes (rtnz, rtg, rtfz rtl) that are designed to exactly do interval arithmetic
The tone of that whole thread in combination with posts like

> Imagine if I had to store the 50k+ tweets I've made on Twitter on my device, and upload ALL of them to a new server whenever a community server went down.

doesn't make this person seem particularly competent. I'm getting a vague feeling that this is normal discourse on Mastodon though, and that not using social media much shifts your personal overton window for what is acceptable communication until you essentially don't overlap with the very online crowd anymore.
That's a great blog post, and the video alludes to it. But it covers the same ideas in only the loose sense that it's about some of the same topics since it's by the same author. But it's 13 years older than the video.

I too would love to find a text version of the video. In the meantime, the talk itself occupies only the first 30 minutes.
The GPT-generated ratings will be flattering and numerous.

I suppose some ratings bots will be deployed negatively. Really good negative reviews could be entertaining.

I must admit: this went against my intuition. My first guess was that you would end up with an urn full of either red or blue balls.
Western countries prefer to cut off access to banking and individual social media accounts rather than the internet. It's more effective and direct. Look at the Twitter files, Canada for examples. Cutting off the whole internet is only necessary for Pakistan because they don't have allied political operatives working at Twitter, Facebook, Google etc.
What style request does it take for ChatGPT to produce this take?
the second model is wishful thinking; the first model describes how ieee-754 arithmetic actually works

as you point out, the second model can be implemented
Man went off the deep end
Java has 2 tiers, but even so it can’t take some unbounded amount of time doing every kind of analysis, as a big selling point of JIT compilers is optimizations based on assumptions, with some low chance of needing a de/reoptimization later.

For what its worth, there is a vendor that uses LLVM as a JIT compiler (Falcon), but that really is not the bottleneck in most java applications.
And this is why I absolutely refuse to do the whole HTML and Co. method of doing GUI's to this day. (XAML etc). I use tools like ETO instead where possible, where I define my UI in code, and it's built to the native UI toolkit whereever relevant. At no point am I writing fucking XML (why does anyone think this is a good idea?!) for a UI. I'm saying I want a title bar with these elements, directly in code. It's fantastic, and should be how it happened in the first place.
This is pretty much spot on.

Imran has been called a zealot and a fool, but almost no one who knows him has called him corrupt.
I would definitely be curious for elaboration on what requirements the project had that weren't met by OpenAPI or gRPC or Cap'n Proto or Apache Thrift or any of the other existing things that solve this general category of problem.
“iPassword”?
I am sorry.

Than you for the explanation.
I was intrigued by a use case of analyzing financial documents like SEC filings (10-k,10-Q). Like in this video https://youtu.be/UzUJzdn7c2w, Prof. Aswath Damodaran teaches how to read these documents and value of company. It was mostly information retrieval. With the LLMs, we can automate this process and get a valuation of the company.
Thank you! I need the cheatsheet for this site.
>completely independent from Internet and the cellular phones networks.

I love this and I am going to try it but like all UHF and up radio communications systems this will depend on line of sight. Lora sweep modulation doesn't make your signal go through hills. The only solution is getting enough reliable electrical power up high above the surrounding terrain to have line of sight to the next transceiver. That's why cell networks work: they pay big money to build towers to put their antennas up high where they can see the users' handsets.

Non-line of sight VHF/UHF propagation like tropospheric ducting are unpredictable and extremely low duty cycle. Alternately the more reliable tropospheric scatter mode is a brute force solution requiring high output powers of a kilowatt or more with big horn antennas.

Software can only do so much. I get the feeling the game changer for community radio networks will be a way of cheaply and reliably getting some antennas up very high. Weather that's multi-copters, tethered aerostats, or just up a tree in the yard it'll need obscure tech like single wire surface wave transmission lines sending RF power to implement it cheaply (coax and DC power are heavy and expensive).
It doesn’t really use Git, but it has Git semantics. They borrowed some basic concepts (repository, commit, etc).
I was hoping for an open implementation of the protocol and a software radio based implementation from someone at some point. I know the hardware is cheap but seems like having an open protocol would be best.
Nah. The best method is to have a standard for the entire discipline. For instance, math papers almost always have the authors listed in alphabetical order. I say "almost always," because, although I've read more math papers than the average bear, and I've never seen one deviate from the alphabetical order protocol, the Math Overflow link below does mention a couple:

And without Rockefeller Steel, who knows what would have happened in World War I? It doesn't mean we should tolerate their monopoly though. When people do bad things, we punish them. It doesn't matter how much goodness they've done, that's the rule of law. Apple is abusing market position.

If you're fine with Apple using you, that's okay. You can still pay them 30% going forward, but Apple will eventually have to give up total control of payment processing. It's up to you to decide if it's worth the trouble then.
more liquidity in a security drives spreads down, not up, so you have the effect backwards
I was interested but just wouldn't spend that much, would rather try organising something myself.
Touche, I’m unmoved but you make good points.

Notwithstanding your point about the “obvious” meaning, I think it’s clear who is doing what with their word choices.
Does Apple dogfood their OS X/iOS CI pipelines, i.e. are they running them on some off-the-shelf Macs like they expect everyone else to do? I remember reading that at least in the past they were running virtualized OS X on regular servers for those (actually found following: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18117885).

And it's not like Apple would need to verify anything. They can grant the license, but say that the only supported configuration is Mac, it's up to VMWare and such to provide the support if they want to say that you can run OS X on their platform.
Yes, computer viruses have more agency than ChatGPT.

I started blogging a while ago, but all my contents are mid at best. How do you level up? There is constant pressure within me to produce but I can't write anything impressive that can help other people. All the things I do rely on collective knowledge of the common, hence I will not be adding anything new on the table. This sabotages my self confidence.
Are you in similar situation too? I am in that 90% of the internet where everything is crap.
Technically it's 21.097 km.
I spent like 4 hours a day on Twitter before the screen time app. Now I’m almost never on it.
ImageBind: A new way to ‘link’ AI across the senses
Honestly, it sounds like you're just fishing for reasons to ban phones because you personally don't like them and are unable to respect students as people.

Not sure what you mean about the reliability - the apps are more reliable than the previous methods like paper tickets. I don't really want to go back to standing in endless queues.

And no, these apps don't have nearly unlimited access to my private information, not sure where you got that idea. They have access to some of my personal information that I gave them, but they always had that access - the public transport app has the same information that I had to fill out in a paper form when buying a yearly pass, for example. And of course, my email provider has access to my email - news at 11.

Here in EU we have GDPR and DSA, that's enough adversarial review for me.
Thanks, that looks amazing, never heard of it before!
Fun fact: Chicago became known as the windy city due to the "long-winded" speeches it's politicians were giving.
And now imagine what that means for their behavior in their first job. Will those not-anymore-students suddenly stop the cheating? Just copy some code from questionable sources on the web with unclear quality and licensing? Ignore FOSS licenses and just blatently violate them? Take competitors code if they can get their hands in it?

Unlikely they will suddenly change. This is troubling for companies.
> That is-- I love the interactive internet, but wouldn't it be cool if it gracefully degraded to still provide "postcards" and "broadcast radio" and a bit more as capacity went down, intermittency went up, and inability to return traffic was sometimes a factor?

This already exists, it's called ham radio. There are even large communities of folks sending 'postcards' to each other on a regular basis.
Rewritten what? The container runtime will need the same access regardless of what it's written in, and rewriting all of Linux (the kernel) would be... ambitious, although it is adopting rust incrementally.
I believe truffle would’ve been a much better fit.
India is particularly trigger happy with blocking the internet at the first sign of trouble in any city or region.

Makes me wonder what will happen to the internet - and politics - once generative AI tools are sufficiently advanced and easy to use. It’s already easy to rile up people with Whatsapp forwards. Imagine how easy it would be if the Whatsapp message comes with an inflammatory AI generated video.
I don't understand the mentality that everything on YouTube should be free. Sure, there's plenty of junk, but there are glorious slices that I am compelled to support, both via YouTube Premium and via Patreon where applicable.
> If that was taught as a class in high school, it might eliminate long-term drug addiction.

How will reading a book help anyone with physiological dependency to quit a drug? Some drugs like alcohol can't be quit by going cold turkey. Unless you want to end up like that cold turkey (i.e. dead).

Let alone other factors like being environment, outlook on life, etc.
I’ve been walking a similar route through the nearby forest for the last 2-3 years. It really isn’t the same thing on a day to day basis. The weather changes, the plants change. In the winter, you can see quite far into the woods. In the summer, you see only green, but lots of different plants and insects. Sometimes, there’s deer, the bird sounds change with the season. Lots of woodpeckers in the winter and spring.

It’s not the only route I walk, but I was surprised myself that I almost never found it boring.

I’ve always felt that its very hard to harbor deep hatred for any people when you can speak their language and share their culture.
Somehow some governments do it and go under the mainstream media coverage. is it because they got the green light from the bigger guys to do it? (I am talking about Algeria during the protests)

Just to say, it's not as simple as authoritarian vs not, it's mote like, authoritarian and didn't get the green light vs not.
Some people just love routine. Just recently I have listened interview with local Olympic swimmer Giedrius Titenis (not in English, so won't share). He mentioned that he liked to swim in a pool the same n*100 meter distances multiple times each day. Repeat and repeat and repeat. This allows person to compare current result with previous. Measure time and think "oh, I made in xy seconds but still had some power left, I can do better next time".
Amazing, looks just like all the websites I don’t use! Looks like my video content addiction will have a cure very soon.
I'm just wondering if she wanted to quit but did this on purpose to get fired instead? i.e. severance pay?

The long story of how neural nets got to where they are [video]
