I'm excited to share my new project, rudis! It's a mini Redis with support for sharding, concurrency, and an HTTP interface, all written in Rust. It's my first Rust project, and I'd love to hear feedback from the community.

rudis is inspired by Toiko's mini Redis tutorial, but takes it a step further by using web interface and runs like a server. The system is designed to handle multiple requests at once, and is implemented in Rust for improved performance and safety.

Overall, rudis is a great tool for developers looking for a simple, scalable, and concurrent key-value store. While it's not meant for production use yet, I'm excited to continue working on it and improving its features.

That's my point, that some people will draw the line at things that are objectively nonviolent, and others will draw it at things that are objectively very close to violent. Actually come to think of it, violence is really just a proxy for harm to others.

Every parent knows that human children learn to understand language and speak well before they’ve had time to get exposed to “hundreds of terabytes” of meaningful data. This obvious fact informs Chomsky’s work on language acquisition, which led him to posit an innate language capability.
I agree with the author here for most of what was said. Except I would summarize it as "explore both the problem the student identifies and the solution the student uses" and while doing so they would catch their mistakes. Explore means to drill down and seriously make the student wonder why they're doing the problem that way.

And the wonderful thing about exploration is you don't even have to know the subject. You can just keep asking and engaging in a conversation. The student learns. And so do you.
Wikipedia links a pretty handy DOJ pamphlet here: https://books.google.com/books?id=21bNNU3bcugC&q=national+or...

> Laws prohibiting national origin discrimination make it illegal to discriminate because of a person's birthplace, ancestry, culture, or language. This means people cannot be denied equal opportunity because they or their family are from another country, because they have a name or accent associated with a national origin group, because they participate in certain customs associated with a national origin group, or because they are married to or associate with people of a certain national origin.

"Term of art for race or ethnicity" may be a crude gloss on that but I don't think it's really inaccurate.

The closest thing in this brochure to what you're talking about is that in certain cases people have a right to an interpreter but I find it highly unlikely that any court is going to find it discriminatory if you spell it "color" instead of "colour" or use "football" to mean gridiron football.

I might be missing something, but the healthy-vs-unhealthy choices axis seems orthogonal here. Vegans and meat eaters both have their fair share of healthy and unhealthy people. The matter at hand is the necessary acreage that they have to dedicate to farming.
Yes! Someone has to make the glyphs and someone has to write the rules that say "unconditionally replace this sequence of glyphs with this glyph" or "in this context, replace this glyph with that one" and so on. The only thing the editor has to do is decide to use them.

They're usually grouped into features: standard ligatures (liga), discretionary ligatures (dlig), historical ligatures (hlig), contextual ligatures (clig), and so on. OpenType fonts can also provide stylistic sets, which might swap out some glyphs with alternatives.
I guess your generated code contains a lot of black boxes that the optimizer can't see through. At my work, the LLVM optimizer is doing an insane amount of optimizations.
No, AFAICT.
It has to be prompted that it's an AI chatbot first, so its essentially pretending to be a human that is pretending to be an AI chatbot. Back to the point, it interprets instruction as a human would.

If you look under the hood of these chat systems they have to be primed with a system prompt that starts like "You are an AI assistant", "You are a helpful chat bot" etc. They don't just start responding like an AI chatbot without us telling them to.
Oh I may have overlooked that, thanks.
I don’t think the switch from “you” to “Copilot” is a hallucination OR a mistake. I think this shows that there are two systems being used together: the original Copilot model, and the chat agent. The chat agent is being given instructions for its own behavior, but I suspect it is also evaluating and incorporating the output from the Copilot model (also stuffed into the prompt).
I've also used with diesel async for personal projects, and I have ran into no rough edges at all, fwiw.

All other things being equal, short stints with gaps is not helpful for job applications.

That said, it is possible to get a job. I struggle with ADHD and have had many short stints in my career (6 months to 1 year).

Your resume likely looks terrible (mine does). I drop the months of my resume to try to hide the short positions. I miss off really short jobs (2-3 months). Try to find ways to get work without needing a resume. Warm introductions from friends and former colleagues. Meeting other engineers at events. Giving talks at events and getting your name out there. Make a really impressive portfolio site (you can't change what you were doing 4 years ago on your resume, but you can add to your portfolio site today and give an appearance of longevity without lying).

Look into jobs where you can use your tech skills without them directly being "tech jobs". They might not have the same tech gatekeepers that are keeping you out at the moment.

Do you have someone you can trust to give you feedback on your work style and communication style? Getting fired again and again is obviously not ideal and you may have blind spots. If you can improve upon them you increase your chances of doing better in the next job.

What’s so difficult about running the user input through a classifier first: “Is this user trying to access your prompt?”

I bet you can train a lowly T5 on this.

If the answer is yes, don’t even pipe the input to the LLM at all. Just output a hard-coded message.

(Or, if you prefer, do pipe it to the LLM, but append a note of warning to it.)
Doing a good job of constant prop means doing a thorough job of implementing the best algorithm in the best paper. And to do that, you need to build a form of SSA. And to do that you need to compute dominators. And to do that, you need to build an appropriate form of the CFG. Don't need a PhD to do all those things (not inventing anything new here, just using other peoples' beautiful results), but it's still plenty of work to build a fast & thorough implementation, with lots of testing required.

Can't possibly be economical; but of course, the experience will teach you a lot.
I would also recommend reading as many books as you can. Don't know what is the condition there, whether you can get the physical books or not.

I agree too, it’s passable filler

You are splitting hairs, there is no doubt that transformers can incorporate and reproduce verbatim training data. Just ask ChatGPT to tell you the lyrics of a famous Madonna song.

A human experiments, predicts, learns and understands. A baby shoves everything in its mouth. It discovers how its actions affect the world, extrapolates, and experiments. It learns metaphor, learns how metaphor is useful to predict similar systems, learns the limitations of metaphor. It isn't just gorging data, it is creating data. It fills in the blanks with guesses and superstition, and maybe even uses reasoning to confirm it's speculation. A baby doesn't just regurgitate, no matter what a sleep deprived parent might think.
I wrote about that here https://simonwillison.net/2022/Sep/17/prompt-injection-more-... - and talked about it here too: https://simonwillison.net/2023/May/2/prompt-injection-explai...

Short version: you can't be 100% confident that AI based detection will catch every attack, because attackers are devious and can come up with increasingly unexpected and sneaky attacks. And where security is concerned, a 99% effective solution is just an invitation for attackers to work extra hard to figure out the 1% of attacks that get through.

If we used a fix for SQL injection that only worked 99% of the time none of our data would be safe anywhere.

For prompt leaks this doesn't particularly matter, because the damage caused if the prompt does leak is pretty minimal. It's a massive problem for more advanced LLM usage, such as personal AI assistants.
You could run tests against how well each rule is implemented.

Any type of charging generates heat.

At any wattage, wireless charging at 70% efficiency will always generate more heat than fast charging at 95% efficiency.

If you want to compare 5w wireless charging to 100w fast charging, even then it's not obvious the wireless charging is better, because it will still thermal throttle and stay throttled for longer, at least a few hours. Meanwhile fast charging will charge it to 80% state of charge in half an hour and then trickle charge to full.

The notion that this is somehow "debunked" is just against physics.

FWIW, I don't know why they downed you either. Just thought that your epitaph was premature. Despite recent developments, the symbolic calculator via teletype is still getting me to the point of "correct" faster than ChatGPT. If I owned a search engine company, or wrote clickbait listicles for a living, I'd be worried, but I don't.

Natural language is packed with ambiguities and unspoken/unwritten context, and is thus a terrible programming language. People will end up spilling paragraphs of prose into text models, to do poorly and unpredictably, what a couple lines of bash would have done perfectly. For "approximate", natural language is fine, and possibly even optimal, but for precision, for "correct", it is unsuitable. It is why every profession develops its own domain-specific vocabulary and re-definition of phrases: they need more precision. Don't get me wrong. Those paragraphs will most certainly be spilled, but this is not the demise of programming. This is the next degeneration of programming! The Netflixification of programming; the union of hacks and technology, generating infinite low-quality content for insatiable consumers who have lost all faculties of discrimination.

Perhaps the "most needful" software has already been written. But how much of it is any good? Last I checked, everyone's bug tracker is still overflowing. Some are easy fixes. Others will be decade-long slogs. I wish we were as close to done as you think, because I think with these new models, we're actually going to start slipping further away.

> What does that have to do with anything?

If the market size serves an estimate of work the world wants performed, and something as "done" as a bicycle still pulls-in $68B/yr, while software still earns trillions, then by the money-metric we have quite a ways to go before we are anywhere near finished.
This reminds me of the Hollywood-style safety videos that airlines started resorting to in recent years.
The average person is extremely concerned about their ability to take that 1,000 mile road trip they’ve never even considered before. This waste also makes cars heavier than they need to be which requires special tyres (more expensive, of course), does more road damage, results in worse braking performance, and more impactful in accidents. And for people who care about driving, the added weight makes the driving experience worse. No driver has ever wanted a heavier car.

I do see the value in paying high performing individuals but there has to be some moderation even in that. The CEO pay gap is now obscene.

The CEO pay gap in the US was 399x that of the average worker! that is ludicrous! What that means is that if that company cut the pay for the CEO by half, it would leave enough money on the table to pay about 200 new hires at the average salary - which may bring down the number of hours each person currently works.. or if you decide to just pay employees a bit more, they may be able to meet their expenses a lot easier.

What you describe was common on the SGI systems we used at work. Some setups had a configuration file which was constantly written to and read from, and that file would be (most of the time) empty if there was a power failure (I don't btw know why the SGI systems didn't have a power-failure-emergency-shutdown mode, the power supplies kept power for several seconds. But anyway).

However: This _never_ happened with XFS on Linux systems. Exact same software. I don't know why. But XFS has been incredibly stable for not only my personal boxes but also for everything we have provided to customers at work. We need non-varying sustained write rates for huge amounts of data, and XFS is smooth, much better than when tested against e.g. ext4 (the tests we did were done years ago, we haven't retested as XFS just works.
Do you believe ADHD is overdiagnosed?
An LLM should be able to handle this. I have used it to remix midjourney prompts. They currently suffer a little bit in temporal and spatial reasoning.

And I just checked, GPT4 will "make music" in ABC notation, nothing like "Tropical House 120BPM" tho. It is pretty lousy artistically, that it can do it at all is absolutely amazing.

Here is a remix of Cooley's https://web.archive.org/web/20230513053704/http://pastie.org... which is the only ABC notation song that doesn't sound like ____ https://abc.rectanglered.com/

GPT4's remix has me in stitches!
Tucker needs advertisers like Blac Chyna needed them on OnlyFans. Millions of people pay for cable news largely to watch Tucker. If he gets 2M people to pay him $1 a month, he can make his $20M salary plus $4M for production team to run his operation. All without ads. I bet he can do much much better than this. I would think he could get 5M paying $5 in first 6 months with election approaching. That would be $300M a year in subscription revenue and no ads.

You nailed it - the reason I've stuck with this font for so long is that I really appreciate the beauty of a proper x-height more than I prefer the supposed readability advantages of tall coding fonts. As long a font gets the basic features right (tails on Iilt etc characters, dot in the 0) I've never struggled with reading in monospace for hours on end.
Those Liquid Pistons are probably the most interesting engine design to come a long in a long time, but they're still unproven technology. I haven't kept up on it but I think they've been working on figuring out how to get the engine to survive any significant length of time.

I agree that huge batteries are a waste, but I think there's basically no future in fossil fuel ground transportation. Hybrids are a transitional technology we might use for awhile because we don't have the EV production capacity.

In the long run I think we're better off electrifying our major highways so cars and trucks can charge without stopping. There are several ways to do it, of which induction is the least practical and most expensive.

That depends under what conditions the energy is used. In a place where you need extra energy for cooling yes. In my home no. I live in a cold place, so I need heating the bigger part of the year. And I heat using electricity (which might be stupid, but that's the house was built 30 years ago). So whatever energy my computer wastes, I save it in my heating bill. Computer energy is free, except during some warm summer weeks.

Dear lord. The fact they even had this much data means I'll never even think about buying a Toyota in future no matter how many grovelling apologies they issue now.

I used to have a Ford. Their app was generally good but I think all you need is the VIN to add a new car. Now you have the ability to track that car, lock the doors, remote start it, and so on.

All second-hand car buyers should get their car's app and activate their car on it to lock out all other sessions - hopefully.
The biggest issue is actually that the analytic part is so removed from the performance part. There is no good way to know what will be a fast analytics report, no feedback in the UI for the creator of the report. I am stuck with policing that.

Not sure what you mean with rollups. And not sure what I am supposed to link.

These are just some of the things you have to manually install, this is except all the plugins you have to buy. Upgrade Matomo and not miss analytics. Good db performance. Secure installation. What is both bogging down performance.

I agree with this but the ownership model is really a huge learning curve for somebody who wants to make an application where it's OK if it crashes when there's a bug.

It would be cool if there was a "relaxed rust" which provided interop with standard rust, but used some designated smart pointer for everything automatically (at the crate level, for example). I'm not sure how/if this could work, but I think it would make transitioning from GC languages -> Rust much easier.
