> Nor are those worries solely the province of cranks and ideologues — Simon Michaux of the Finnish Geological Survey has actually done extensive research

On the contrary, Michaux tripped a few of my crank alarms, mention of EROEI being one of them.
He seems to have learned something from since then. Maybe it took things affecting his bottomline.
It was obvious from the one sided marketing that the entire story wasn't being told.
Thanks I didn't know that. Happily the only ASP.NET I work with is my website, which will stay with the stack I have until/unless my ISP demands an upgrade. Although being a literal greybeard I'll probably do the lazy thing and find an ISP that does support my tech. Latest and greatest is no longer a priority.
It's unlikely to have happened last week, is it?
Is rsync-time-machine.py a valid module name? Or does it not matter because it’s a script?
> It’s slow, but if I ask it to write a Haiku it’s slow on the order of “go brew some coffee and come back in 10 minutes” and does it very well. Running it overnight on something like “summarize an analysis of topic X it does a reasonable job.

I'm sorry but that's unusably slow, even GPT-4 can take a retry or a prompt to fix certain type of issues. My experience is the open options require a lot more attempts/manual prompt tuning.

I can't think of a single workload where that is usable. That said once consumer GPUs are involved it does become usable
Oh man, that would be many many "random" checks on the border :)
Well, if you care about supporting compress/decompress in the browser (natively) then you pretty much have the choice of using gzip or gzip, so there is still the limitation of support, no matter where you try to drag me.
Chomsky is arguing that unvaccinated people are a danger to those they come into contact with. Not a potential danger - a real danger. It's not like having brown skin; you can't choose not to have brown skin.

People are free to not be vaccinated; and other people are free to shun them.

That's his point, the way I read it.
Clerks make $35 an hour in Switzerland. If we accept lower inequality and more expensive items - it’s possible that economic growth would improve.
This points to an ability to shake, like biological entities can shake to throw off unwanted things or stretch out body parts, as a feature that should be designed into future devices.
In case you missed it - the general election in Turkey is happening _today_. Getting banned weeks before and then getting un-banned some time in the future would have had a far more destructive impact on the political opposition.
E.g. in Arizona, only front seat passengers are required by law
Counter point: the whole internet can be distilled into an LLM and shared in a super condensed format.

Both of these things will happen (old web getting spammed, old web being distilled and crystalized), and the future will be weird and unpredictable to us now.

Just started reading this and, as a newcomer, I’m finding it helpful because it explains not just what things do, but how they work (for example: the keyword package). I haven’t gotten far, but it’s an encouraging start.
And what and why do you crawl?

The Wikipedia article for Kevin Durant lists him as 6’10”, which is different from the height the NBA lists for him, which is also different from the height that he actually is. So if you want to find an example of a non-controversial fact, you’re going to have to try harder than a persons height.

https://www.gq.com/story/nba-player-heights

But my point isn’t that all information on Wikipedia is factually incorrect. It contains a lot of useful information. My point is that the process for revolving controversies doesn’t simply focus on facts, or merit, or anything similar to scientific or academic rigour, as it is often influenced more by the politics of the Wikipedia editors social hierarchy.
> but I'm not sure the ChatGPT browsing plugin has even been shown to be vulnerable to prompt injection

https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2023/chatgpt-plugin-you... was posted in a Discord group I'm a part of this morning, demonstrating indirect prompt injection working in a ChatGPT plugin.

I see a lot of responses when talking about prompt injection where people keep asking, "okay, but is this new thing vulnerable?" And then eventually it's shown to be vulnerable, and then they just move on to the next new thing. Like, I already know the response here is going to be "okay, but are specifically ChatGPT-4 plugins vulnerable?" At this point, the answer is yes until the answer is demonstrated to be no -- at the very least, the answer is yes until a platform can last more than a month or two without seeing a prompt injection attack succeed.

This is guess-test-and-revise security, it is not how we should be approaching the problem; and after a while the conclusion has to be that there is something fundamental going wrong and that it's going to keep going wrong until something fundamental changes. If GPT-5 comes out and it's specifically trained with a new strategy, then fine, that's interesting to talk about. But do we need to have the same conversation every single time an incremental improvement happens with a model?

Assuming that models are secure by default until proven otherwise is not a feasible strategy anymore.
I would say that the hate against PHP is similar to BASIC, irrational.
Where (and more importantly how) do you live that you don't have fair use exception?

We do have clear evidence that Apple devices track our location, and we do not have ability to turn it off. We do not have evidence that logs are not kept or shared nor of the E2EE of those recordings. This is not conspiracy theory. We are asked to be credulous of how the largest market cap corporation in the world handles this valuable and sensitive data. The onus is on them to prove what they say, and if they cannot, I do not buy it.

Yes, RACI is exactly what I was thinking about. The differences also get people excited when they apply to delivery and funding. If you suggest that someone is accountable for a project then they may suddenly get very interested in it. RACI is also a very good way of identifying different types of stakeholder, e.g. when considering their potential roles with respect to a new project or capability.
"Social media is more like a common space, and unique user names are a limited resource."

This doesn't persuade me that culling usernames after someone dies is a great policy, especially when it also removes their content.

On the contrary - if unique usernames have value, then once someone has established a presence using that identity, it shouldn't be transferred to someone else. We've already seen the harms of domain squatting on expired registrations. I don't see any value in establishing a system that's going to allow people to take usernames that have a reputation built up by someone now dead. But I do see ample harm that can result from it.

For one thing, news doesn't always circulate evenly. You may not know someone has died immediately - so if a social media site allows redistribution of usernames after 12 months, it's real easy to imagine that being used for malicious purposes.

Social media sites really need to get away from the username model. Not sure what should replace it, but there's too many flaws inherent in allowing someone to build up a reputation / identity under a specific username and then turning that handle over to someone else.

Likewise, the first-come, first-serve model has been abused too. For many years Red Hat's twitter handle was not @redhat because someone else had squatted on the handle and would log in just often enough to keep it from being claimed under Twitter's policies. Had they pretended to be Red Hat it would've been reaped, but they just squatted on the username and kept it from being used. There's no reason a rando user should be able to claim a name that clearly isn't theirs.

And the whole common name problem, too. But taking, say @bobsmith away from the dead Bob Smith and handing it to somebody else isn't a good answer.
QC45 have been out for only 1.5 years
Not stereotype. I have all seasons on my sports car that stays in the garage, and snows for everything else when winter hits. All seasons are for if you get stuck in bad weather you can barely make it home. They are terribe compared to a legit winter tire. No seasons is not a exaggeration.
Raid 1 and 0 are perfectly stable on btrfs and have been for a decade. I don't think anyine ever fixed raid 5 or 6 on it tho...
> They could easily fix so much just by showing extensions.

A couple of years ago I troubleshot a problem someone was having on a Mac. IIRC, instead of creating a file with an extension they had somehow managed to create a folder with an extension, with the actual file inside of that folder.

Also IIRC, they tried to click into the folder, but apparently Mac had hid the file extension (of the folder!) which prevented them from entering the folder (since the name without the extension was not the full name of the folder??). This only became apparent when dropping into the shell and doing a list. From there it was easy to change directory into the full name of the directory.

I have no clue what was happening here.
Firstly that is reductive, simplistic; ancestry and culture is not the same as "a gene". And lumping "Christian" and "black" as the same kind of category regarding genetics is just very odd indeed.

Second it's not entirely accurate, as any online genetic testing service will give a good estimate at e.g. percentage of Ashkenazi heritage.

Thirdly and most importantly, it's not an answer to the above even if it was true, as it doesn't engage with the real existence - both for good and bad - of the ethnic heritage as given in the recent historical example above.

Or, as the other reply put it: "as a (secular) Jewish person, I'm still eligible for citizenship of Palestine/Israel, and also eligible for targeting by white supremicists/neonazis". Neither of those two groups are going to ask "how often do you go to temple?" regarding someone's perceived Jewishness.

The author mixed view with model.

I trust they’ll disconnect the two at some point.
Obviously this is highly dependent on where you live…which gets back to my original point that there are so many variables it probably isn’t possible to declare one option better for the environment. Fwiw, in the UK I actively turn heat on and off depending on when it’s needed. It would never, ever, be on when I’m out, unless I was going out of town for a while and had to consider things like frozen pipes.
For anyone reading - the first person's symptoms are not directly linked to coffee - but he was drinking 10 cups a day for years.

Everything in moderation! I highly recommend starting to have half-caf (half decaf-half normal) coffees when it's simply for flavour, to lessen the adverse effects.

You can buy nice decaf coffee in beans to grind yourself, my guests never know it's decaf. Highly recommend anything done with (I think) swedish water method, the beans are decaffed when green, so the flavor is almost not affected.

Edit: Another thing that can help is Maté! Is doesn't taste anywhere near coffee or tea, but it's got a little caffeine and anecdotally the effects are less intense and more long lasting
Doesn't the algorithm work on directed graphs, rather than only DAGs, i.e., also on cyclic ones? That's a difference with Dijkstra, where cycles are excluded from the solution. Plus, it takes the graph and a sequence of transitions.
Depends on what "getting stuff done" means. I find 13B models (running on my M1 Mac) useful for playing AI Dungeon-like games -- where you describe the environment and your character and you can play an RPG.
I only skimmed it but didn’t see any mention of the argument that our electrical grid is not reliable and resilient enough to support a massive uptick of EVs.

At least in CA, where the power company likes to preemptively turn off power so that fires don’t start, that’s a big concern for families with only one car, or considering replacing their second car with an EV.

I've been going in range-anxiety circles with my dad for over 10 years. He insists he needs a car that can take him hundreds of miles into the wilderness for camping. I ask whether he's ever done that. He says no, but he intends to.

He's 84.

EV manufacturers should offer the 500-mile-range vehicle, but as an option. Pay $X for a car with 250 miles range, and an extra $20,000 for another 250 miles range. Most people will look at that price difference and conclude that their need to drive 8 hours without a pee break is and always will be aspirational.
Note that said they trust the _people_ building stuff. Those organizations get anything done because of some hard working individuals. Those people are definitely the parts of those systems least deserving of criticism.
Yes. All that is required to make that true is that our brains come up with a model that we cannot comprehend or that reflects a reality that we do not understand. That has been true since cycles and epicycles were used to describe the motion of celestial bodies and probably long before that.
Yeah, this entire article has a single mention of "charging infrastructure", and even that's a passing reference. This doesn't address all the arguments against an EV. The fact of the matter is, if I don't have a Tesla and rent my apartment, I won't be able to reliably charge this vehicle. Even for someone with a house, long trips face unreliable charging infrastructure.

It's gonna take a few more years
I had an honest-to-goodness bad dream about this issue last night.

So happy to hear it is resolved!
This is good. Humanity progresses and therefore more tasks become automated.
Am I missing something, how is:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
printf("Hello World!\n");
}

just as easy as:

10 PRINT "Hello World!"

Later versions of BASIC like QBasic dropped the line numbers even. BASIC won because there was no friction and no ceremony involved with writing simple programs. Displaying text, getting input from the user, and doing simple mathematical calculations were relatively intuitive. Control flow was easy with GOTO. You could learn how to do all these things in an afternoon. Most microcomputer bundled BASICS even had primitive facilities for handling graphics, sound, and joysticks, so you had all you needed to make simple games. You could even PEEK and POKE at the memory, meaning you could even do some pretty advanced programming without reaching for C, Pascal, or Assembler.

Incidentally, I believe this is why Python is so popular today. It's just a saner iteration on BASIC in many aspects.
The article fails to mention a major hypothesis that immediately came to mind when I saw the object. Wikipedia agrees [1]:

> It has also been suggested that they might have been an object to test the skill of a metalsmith, perhaps as part of a portfolio to demonstrate their capabilities to customers or as a way to qualify for a certain status in a collegium (guild). This speculation is based on the historic cost of bronze and the level of skill necessary to cast such an object.

It’s complexity screams “apprentice’s graduating casting project” which would also explain why some were found with coin hoards - they’re sentimental objects kept by successful blacksmiths; the one thing they’d keep to represent an entire career.

Automated ad fraud is why. It's the biggest problem you've never heard of.

The last time I heard it cited (which, to be fair, was a few years back) the actual number was 33%—for every three dollars spent on digital advertising, a dollar gets lost to fraud. Not too far off.
Yet how woefully it has failed to curtail growing inequality. The well off have proven for millennia they won't support the hardest hit on society. Governments have to do that.
No they shouldn't, ai will write the cowdes.
Or even the same person at different stages of life, like the guy referenced in the article. They’re both valid stances.
They literally just described Svelte with that headline.

Front end framework: check

Reactivity: $check

Composability: check

No dependencies: once compiled, check

And pretty sure Svelte (or Qwik or Solid or even React) will perform better than the "dependency-free" custom components. The open secret in the front end world is that custom components as baked into browsers is slower and a major pain in the ass as an API. That's why it wasn't adopted widely and why it will likely never be adopted widely.

The funny thing about stories like these is that once you write the first general use code that isn't based on your specific task, you've created a dependency. Only this dependency isn't improved and maintained by a community or company; its maintenance is handled by you and your team. Maybe you take it on because the benefits outweigh the costs for your team. You improve and refine "just a few functions". Other folks like what you've done and ask to use it. Now they have a dependency on the "no dependencies" framework. Eventually you have to give it a name, and it gets popular.

A few years later, a developer decides they doesn't want any dependencies in their front end code anymore…
wow that's an interesting thing, like a windows but for web. What do you use it for?

The bit about ad revenue was actually specifically called out here as probably not the story.

The interesting part to me is the overall positive sentiment towards tech in general, because you are right - at least for specific companies, sentiment as reported by a local poll of people I play games with, Elon and FB are the literal devil.

What's wrong with EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested)? It seems sensible to me without knowing too much about it.
This hits a little too close to home. All the symptoms and thoughts racing through your head during the first 6 month recovery period.

I wish her the best of luck going forward. TBI is something that changes you forever, and not necessarily for the better.

If you know someone with TBI - please be patient with them and give them a little bit more leeway than you would a normal person. We're a little slow and we can't really do much about it.

It seems with the massive amounts of money and full time engineers JVM has to be far more advanced technically, but does it actually make a difference? I don't know anything about compilers I just know LuaJIT is faster than any dynamic language on the JVM, SBCL is much faster than lisp on the JVM, chez scheme is much faster then scheme on the JVM, pypy is faster than jython. For statically-typed GC languages that should be comparable to Java, Go and Ocaml are famous for having very simple and fast compilers (fast as in they compile quickly without doing much optimization) and they don't perform any worse than Java.
Oh that's really ingesting, we have plenty of whitetail deer in my area and never thought about whatever they night technically be invasive.

We also have a species of tree called the princess tree. Most consider it invasive because it grows and propogates so quickly, it's originally from Asia if I'm not mistaken. Personally I really like it and have transplanted a few into our posture for fast shade growth and hope to harvest it for wood in 8-10 years.

Yes. I got in trouble in a place well-known for highly literate participants when I correctly used the phrase "putative woman" to describe someone in the news. In fact, one them went as far to posit that since I knew Spanish, I should be well-aware of the derogatory nature of that adjective in English usage!

I was rather shocked at the unironic chastisement I received at that time!

MacOS also doesn’t let you cut a file and then lose it by accidentally copying something else to the clipboard, because to “cut and paste” you copy, then use option-command-v to move the file instead of copying.
