Real word actions and consequences give the words meaning. If you're rude to Bing, the conversation will end. You can keep typing but it won't respond.

Searching the web and ending conversations are the only two actions Bing can currently do so what i'm saying is less applicable for now. But humanity is gearing up to give more and more control of more and more tools to increasingly powerful LLMs. Hell Bing is scheduled a bump in tools in the coming weeks.

Hate to break it to you but "it's not real [insert property]" is not a shield. Not when you allow the machines to interact with the real world.

If your words to [insert LLM] guide responses that perform actions detrimental to you then those actions are no less real or detrimental because you've deluded yourself into thinking "it's not real understanding" is an intelligent argument.
airplane.dev is a commercial offering very similar
in spirit; it is not free but not expensive. It has native support for node, python, SQL, shell scripts and a couple other options as well as docker images for everything else. It’s been a game changer for me.

Same as partials in Rails, maybe. A while since I used it.
Ask HN: Experienced Back End Dev Learning Front End – Advice on Modern Tools?
Hey y'all,

I've been a senior software engineer for many years, focusing primarily on backend development. I know the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (and even worked professionally with Node.js), but my exposure to modern frontend tools and frameworks is quite limited.

The team that I'm transitioning into has a growing need for some front-end work, and I've decided to take the plunge. However, the vast array of options out there has left me a bit overwhelmed. I'm looking to familiarize myself with modern tools like Sass, Handlebars, as well as frameworks like React, Svelte, and Ember.

What are the best resources (online courses, books, tutorials, etc.) to learn these tools and frameworks?
Are there any specific learning paths you'd recommend for an experienced developer transitioning from backend to frontend?
That‘s exactly why i think it’s funny when people say microsoft is revolutionizing search & AI.

(Sure, they did a lot of work early with copilot and most there are much better developers than me, still…)
Sounds like we are thinking along very similar lines. Which leads me to wonder: have you by any chance read Attack Surface by Cory Doctorow? I read it a year or so ago, and my takeaway from it was that he is advocating a mindset of something like "Don't try to use technology to 'beat' the powerful players (corporations, governments, whatever) as they can always out-tech you. Rather, use tech to foster/facilitate policy change in beneficial ways." That's a rough paraphrase from memory, but I think it gets a chunk of the gist of what he was saying. And to the extent that it does, I think he has a point.

I think a lot of us techie types, especially the ones who did grow up on a healthy dose of cyberpunk and other sci-fi (and who didn't?) envision an ability to "win" in a contest between nation-state governments and/or powerful multi-national corporations. And in hindsight, maybe that is exactly our fatal conceit, and a view we need to shed.
I think his point is just because the data in isolation isn't identification, we live in a world where multiple public datasets are easily used to make 99.9% correlation, yet laws still act like these associations are "technically challenging"
Most of the problems are from actors who are very specifically motivated and we need to start a less isolated view of data breaches .
I for one kept using it mainly because it will close out tabs automatically (as long as you haven't pinned them) and you can pick up work on one window from another without skipping a beat.

gEDA was quite good when it was active. In the last few years the ringdove eda project is actively maintaining and improving pcb, while the lepton eda project is actively maintaining and improving the rest. They're quite good.
If you're looking at it a few times a year even if you don't know what you're looking at after a few times any substantial changes should be notable. On top of that I'd imagine most people who do their own oil changes are going to lean in the direction of mechanically inclined or at least willing to learn things.

If you're paying someone else to do it, presumably they're a set of eyes that's a bit more experienced with cars and can more confidently identify the sorts of things one could see from the perspective of an oil change.
I don't know how warped you have to be to look at that and think this isn't the most bottom of the barrel racism there is.
Exciting.

pip install --user

No longer works. Have fun! Python knows best!

Pip install doesn't work either. The workaround is to put everything in a virtualenv to isolate packages from one another. My expectation is that everything I try that with is going to break because it's all an incoherent mess of lots of python packages that need to interact with each other, and isolating them from one another is going to break.

Other workaround is to only install things using the system installer, apt or whatever, and generally hope you have root and that you're lucky with the one true version of a given package.

This is going to be really annoying, for lots of people, for years. What's going to fill the niche for sysadmin style stuff for those who have run out of patience with python? Build scripts, gluing things together. I really hope it isn't perl. Fingers crossed for lua or guile.

When I'm somewhat dialed in to a subject, I'll frequently notice some concept or tech mentioned in one discussion will in turn get its own thread. Probably the same thing here but I was not privy to the original conversation.
I found it interesting to wonder how viable a CTO he'd be if he had to accede to somebody else's directional drive, or a board.

I suspect he wouldn't do too badly because he is sufficiently technical to know when he's being snowed and is also quite driven.

The problem isn't that he has no technical ability. The problem is he is unwise, and somewhat of an autodidact, convinced he's right irrespective of evidence. Lacking a source of directing force he is prone to making irrational, personally driven choices.

He also miscommunicates frequent. I doubt his "C suite" colleagues would welcome it, and so his directorate or board would be edgy all the time. Being in control makes me wonder if he's surrounded by yes-men and fires anyone who tries to argue back.
Oil companies don't much care that their products and practices have exacerbated climate change - they hid relevant data from us generated by their scientists - yet we are finding ways to hold them liable, and we generally don't think well of people who hold them up as paragons.

Copyright directly enables a huge portion of most developed nations' GDP. AI will have an effect on copyright and businesses that depend upon it. And even if you care nothing for the ethics around copyright, it's worth respecting the political might and bankrolls those companies will wield.

Sure, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But these PCAWG results have been discussed to death since they were published, and its pretty sound science.

You could also take the bottom-up approach of asking what DOES cause certain cancers. That's a whole other discussion.

Considering all this, if you still have doubts that "viruses do not cause the majority of cancers", I think you will likely be skeptical about pretty much all of biology.

I don't think we're actually in disagreement at all. I wasn't trying to be very specific even in my original comment when I replied to "Sure once you start bleeding you die from blood loss but if you're knifed can you really say you died from anemia?", but just note that we should be careful about assuming the blood loss was from being knifed, or being knifed once. Just that societal level changes can be complex as we should leery of accepting a narrative that neatly provides a cause. That doesn't mean it's wrong, it just means we should fight against our own instinctual urge to accept and believe simple answers.

> Climate studies in History show how massive, widespread collapse or large scale change happened in times of marked shifts in world climate, not the other way around

I'm not trying to argue it's the other way around, I'm more making an case that if climate change contributes 1/10th of the stressors causing a civilization collapse, and the rest is a bunch of other stuff added together, some individual items that might be more than 1/10th the cause, we'll still probably look at it and say ah, climate change caused it, because it's what happened and a bunch of other civilizations collapsed at the same time.

Sort of similar to losing your job in a recession. It's most often attributed to the recession, but in reality there's likely a lot of things that contributed, and the recession contributed enough to be the the straw that broke the camels back. Were one of those other things not present, the job may not have been lost.

What this means is that we likely attribute the variable that the most distinct entities as the cause, as opposed to the variable that contributes to the cause the most. Calling this out as I'm doing is mostly a matter of semantics, I'm fully aware, but I think it might be important to consider when formulating thoughts on this.

If climate change at a specific point causes every civilization to collapse, it's obviously the cause. If it causes an increase in the rate of collapse by 50%, it's very likely the cause. If it causes 20% more, now we're getting into a territory where it's contributing, but very possibly not the largest contributor.

I understand that with a population of civilizations as small as we have at any specific time in history that a statistical increase large enough to notice from climate change probably means it was indeed climate change, so I'm not trying to convince you it isn't, as much as call forth a way we put narratives to events. We definitely do often say someone lost their job because of the recession, when the relative change overall to the population can be quite small.

People understand the world through narratives, and those those narratives match reality to greater or lesser degrees sometimes.
It uses the same map, but with more depth — there are at least two layers I've discovered so far — original Hyrule and Sky Islands — and I suspect at least one more :)
I checked just now and Andrew Anglin's account is suspended.
I wasnt able to find a Patriotic Alternative account and when I searched on it, the overwhelming majority of the tweets were critical.
And the content of the so-called nazi meme appears to have nothing to do with Nazism other than the shape of a helmet. It's actually about the speed of technology change. And from what I can tell Nick Fuentes/Groyper thing was on twitter for 24hrs before being suspended.
So I dunno....it looks like you are providing a distorted view to support a narrative.
If I wanted to I'm sure I could find all kinds of other hate content on the fringes that is equally nasty but sits outside the "narrative" we are constantly being force-fed.
Yes, to an extent. I tried a bunch of things to get it to generate kick drums, but it seemed to always include some other drums like a snare or even the cymbals.

I've used kicad professionally for about three years now. That brief phase of using CI was in my current employer and we had some confusing weeks where no one knew which sch version was the right one.

Being able to share out autogenerated schematics is one of those rare cases where CI hinders you rather than helps you.

I'm sort of tunneling in on this one facet though. This is great work and I'll be reading it more closely when I get off the plane. I'll probably grab some of your kibot configs for myself!
There's also the false choice where you think you're making a choice but it's really being made for you. The classic example is a magician asking you to pick one of two cards. If you pick the one they want, they will proceed with the trick add planned. If you pick the other card, they make as if the choice was for which card to discard so they get to proceed with the card they wanted all along
The expectation when a car is sold is that the ignition cannot be easily bypassed by an unskilled person using ordinary household items.

There is no expectation when a window is sold that it cannot be smashed with a rock.

Many but I like to save them for real life.

One tamer one is the time I stopped to help a woman whose car broke down on the side of Route 5 near Camp Pendleton. Her phone had died and she was stuck there waiting for help. I didn't have a phone, but knew there was a Marine Base nearby so drove there to get help. Unfortunately it was dark and I went down the wrong road and suddenly see a Marine running after my car with an M-16. Luckily he didn't shoot, laughed at my Hawaii Driver's License, and directed me to a nearby gas station, where we were able to phone for help.

Not having a phone makes every day an adventure! :)
The physical human brain has 86 billion neurons with up to 10,000 connections each. However they are somewhat structured, e.g. the seven layers of the cerebral cortex, reducing the arbitrariness of connections. So say the connectome has 100 trillion parameters.

The bain also has a bunch of other cells that dont appear to encode information. They may supply structural scaffolding and chemicals to mediate neuron function.
Using eye-gaze as cursor is something I've wanted on my desktop computing experience. It is so annoying when window management fails, but if it used the input form my webcam it could do the right thing.

Using Overlays, Immersed, etc for doing Desktop computing in VR is super painful. Mirroring your desktop monitor feels limiting, but individual applications as windows has focus issues.

It will be interesting to see if RealityOS fixes a lot of this out of the gate or if it will take years to have a decent coding experience in VR.
Will be curious to know if there are any EU companies making AI to regulate, or that they'll all be imports.
> why can't statistics alone generate emergent phenomena?

because there is no generative mechanism in the definition of "statistics" with which to generate anything.

> What convinces you that the human brain isn't also just statistics at a massive scale?

Because the human brain created the concept of "statistics" so if statistics created the human brain this would mean statistics created statistics, leading to infinite regress.
What causes El Niño to happen every few years? What mechanism drives the phenomenon? I was thinking maybe sun spots, but sun spots have 11 year cycles on average, so I don't think it's the cause. Why doesn't El Niño happen every year, like hurricanes?

Attention isn’t the problem imho. Will and tolerance of future gains opportunity cost are what’s needed. Those in power are not yet impacted enough by future costs of all sorts (economical, societal, reputational) to make alternative, more aggressive decisions around climate mitigation actions. Until those with power have exposure that causes course correction, progress occurs on the current trajectory.
> Bitcoin as a "bank" would be far too volatile for basically everyone.

If you use bitcoin as collateralized lending and borrowing, it becomes a banking tool. Price becomes far less of an issue as long as you maintain your collateralization ratios. Volatility of the price is at least partially offset by the utility of earning interest on it. This also has the effect of making bitcoin more scarce as it becomes more and more locked up as debt. 21m max, it becomes deflationary if enough people become their own bank.

> The Fed should just offer consumer accounts, free of charge.

No. We have enough government control of finances as it is.

That's true, but I don't think it effected the average user much.
I first moved to San Francisco in early 1997. I was absolutely flabbergasted at the amount of rain we got that winter. It just never stopped raining. For months. My distant memory of it was that it started raining just before Thanksgiving (when I had a cousin visit, which is why I remember) and then just didn't stop until like May of 1998. I just looked it up: 18 days of rain in November, 10 in December, 22 in January, 20 in February, 14 in March, 10 in April and 14 in May. Nice to know my 25 year old memory wasn't that bad.

I went to Tahoe for the first time that winter and the snowpack was absolutely absurd. Like 20 feet. The ski area parking lot I went to had a wall of snow carved out next to the cars. I have a sideways panoramic photo taken of myself next to it to remember it by.

In the context of optimization, does the generalized assignment problem satisfy total unimodularity?

Assistant:

The generalized assignment problem (GAP) is an NP-hard optimization problem that can be formulated as an integer linear program. The problem involves assigning a set of tasks to a set of agents, subject to capacity constraints, with the goal of maximizing the total profit or minimizing the total cost. The integer linear programming formulation of GAP is as follows:

Objective function:

Maximize ∑_(i=1)^m ∑_(j=1)^n c_ij * x_ij

Subject to:

1. ∑_(j=1)^n a_ij * x_ij ≤ b_i, for all i (capacity constraints for each agent)

2. ∑_(i=1)^m x_ij = 1, for all j (each task must be assigned to exactly one agent)

3. x_ij ∈ {0, 1}, for all i and j (binary assignment variables)

Total unimodularity (TU) is a property of a matrix that guarantees that the linear programming relaxation of an integer linear program will result in integer optimal solutions. If the constraint matrix is totally unimodular, you can solve the linear programming relaxation and obtain an integer solution without using specialized integer programming algorithms.

In the case of the generalized assignment problem, the constraint matrix does not satisfy
Processes can still be fine. If you're lucky you can be debating over whether you'd like something to be 99x or 100x faster.
What Bluesky Tells Us About the Future of Social Media
What I understand from this specific case these models don't have an engine immobilizer AND it's very easy to turn on the ignition using a USB cable. If I understood it correctly this is easier than stealing a car in the 80s, you don't even have to smash a window, it's that bad.

The United States is an exception to the rule being the only first world country that I know of to not mandate engine immobilizers (I'm sure someone will be able to point an exception, but overall these are mandatory in a lot of countries for decades already).
Sorry I'm a bit confused by the question could you elaborate?

make a track like Ministry Industrial style in the form of "So What" but talking about GPU frameworks.
So? This is a guardrail added by a Microsoft employee, mate. After their earlier dabblings in AI outputting bigotry and general toxicity, someone in their wisdom saw the sense to try and prevent going down a negative conversation path, hence all the edge lords on Reddit offering prompts to "jailbreak" an LLM and bypass the guardrails, which then get patched by a human being not long after.

You're projecting so much meaning onto something that is functioning as designed by throwing a sentiment var into the calculation, just like you can measure "sentiment" with social media analysis tools to get a feel for which way the wind is blowing or which of the millions of tweets at your brand might be worth prioritizing.

Do you really believe you've thus offended an LLM? That is delusional.
Seems more like politics where I'm at. My company won't let you work on the models without a PhD. Literally all I would do as an "ML Developer" would be cleaning and moving data plus APIs to provide input/output.
> Is it hardware testing at the simulation/emulation level as a "digital twin"

This, very likely.

It's possible to set up simulations of certain sections of the hardware using some Spice software, but it's quite time consuming and I'm not sure if anyone's built a way to compare the output of the simulation to expected output.

Simulating any entire circuit as a whole is impossible, since lots of parts just cannot be simulated.
This looks great. I've seen a few things in rest of comments but if anyone could share anything similar about networking or computer science topics in general I'd really appreciate it. It's weird looking back I learned so much stuff as a kid in the 90s that I wish I knew better now, from trying to be a wannabe hacker and always breaking stuff I had to figure out how to fix if I wanted to use it again. I never went to college for Comp Science or worked in IT or coding but now I want to make a career change. Even though I always had some personal projects or occasional freelance type web dev, I guess the more complicated stuff was abstracted away over the years and it was easier to do more with knowing less.
