> do splits or tabs or anything but I/O. That's left to your actual terminal.

I use tmux exactly to split panels in any way I want. My terminal (iTerm2) doesn't give me the full power to manipulate windows/panels using shortcuts.

But unfortunately I'm gonna have to stop using tmux because it's not compatible with sixel. I spent a lot of time ricing it tho...
I don't actually think it's really a jargon problem per-se in this case. I think there's some minor changes that would help a lot.

For example, the very first sentence: "The (pan)arthropod head problem[4] is a long-standing zoological dispute concerning the segmental composition of the heads of the various arthropod groups, and how they are evolutionarily related to each other". So even if you understand the jargon more or less, the way this is written makes it feel like "there's a lot more essential detail" that's not covered in this sentence. But once you read the background section, and you get to this sentence "The challenge that the arthropod head problem has to address is to what extent the various structures of the arthropod head can be resolved into a set of hypothetical ancestral segments", you realize that actually the initial summary is actually fairly complete, but just strangely uncommital.

Rewriting the first sentence to be more direct might result in: "The arthropod head problem is a zoological dispute over the extent that the various structures of the arthropod head amongst different types of arthropods can be resolved into a set of hypothetical ancestral structures". Or maybe a less aggressive change: "The (pan) arthropod head problem is a zoological dispute over the segments that make up the heads of the various arthropod groups, and how these different segments are evolutionary related to each other".

The background section itself could probably be improved by moving the first sentence deeper into the section, and probably doing a paragraph break right before the "The challenge that the arthropod head problem has to address.." sentence to make it easier for skimmers (or glazed out readers) to pick out a significant segment.

In fact, maybe the problem with the beginning section is that it's focused on the "meta". Every single sentence contains information about the history and development of "the problem", while only one sentence directly talks about "problem", and like two sentences talk about the scope and some of the tools used to address the problem. Perhaps portions of the "Background" section should be raised to the top level, and the history stuff moved to a history (or even the background...) section.

I think it's reasonable for some articles to be pretty jargon dense, but the opening bits should make some accommodations to less specialized audiences.
True, but the volume of information in the world today is too overwhelming for one person to evaluate correctly. We live in the information age after all. Most people don't have the faculties to do a proper evaluation that includes both you and me. Would you trust your self to logically evaluate the capabilities of a nuclear reactor design if you yourself aren't an expert? No. You would hire an expert.

Therefore when it comes to technology that we our selves clearly aren't experts in, then the best method is to utilize the logic of other "experts" as a subroutine given that our own faculties are less efficient and less accurate.

Unless you yourself are an expert who has experience building an LLM on the scale of chatGPT trusting the opinions of experts is your best bet.

Most people have a common bias towards trusting their logic above the logic of others and this is actually ironically irrational. There are people who's entire lives around a certain subject matter and if you aren't that person, then for that subject matter the expert is better. That is the the most rational conclusion and I would venture to say if you aren't arriving at that conclusion yourself then likely you are suffering from the aforementioned bias.
It's a review in a general interest newspaper for the average headphone buyer. Almost no one who buys headphones knows what any of those things are.
My house is old enough to have (currently redundant) fireplaces. Reading stories like this, I wonder if it would be worth converting them into flameproof storage for battery powered devices.
Exactly. I'm gonna have to wait for the rtings.com review, the only source I use for headphones when the model I'm reviewing is on their site.

I'm not aware of any other site (suggestions welcome) that do in-depth product reviews
Maybe where you live, first year nurses here would gladly take 50K just to start paying off their university costs.

Edit: if the hospitals won't hire them directly, they can also go to a contract nursing agency and start working in eg. home care (which oddly enough pays more than working at a hospital)

The main criticism (IMO) isn't really the work itself but how it's handed down as wisdom. It wasn't really cathedral==proprietary and bazaar==open source. In fact it was about cathedral vs. bazaar in open source software and that story is more complicated and comes down to "It depends." There are certainly open source projects that have more of a cathedral aspect whether because of benevolent dictator model or, more recently, a strong commercially-oriented foundation. But there are also areas that look more like a bazaar which have some advantages with respect to innovation but can be... messy.

Loading assets JIT for the next frame from NVMe hasn't been a thing for 20 years though. Different kinds of latency floors.

What I was asking is whether LLM inference can be structured in such a way that only a fraction of the weight is needed at a time and then the next ones can be loaded JIT as the processing pipeline advances.
I just started using this! I'm making a tool called command-line-maps, its gonna be amazing.

Echoing another comment here, it doesn't work in tmux though which is pretty heartbreaking. But viewing beautiful maps in the terminal is amazing, and works perfectly.

(I'm using the alacritty branch that supports it, worked perfectly.)

> My guess has been that they are an item a journeyman blacksmith had to create to be promoted to master.

Seems pretty specific to span two centuries of known construction. Why would they be saved and not recycled? Nearly every medieval village had a blacksmith, with larger population centers supporting more, within the whole of medieval Europe thousands of blacksmiths at any one time, so why have only 116 of these turned up when there should be hundreds of thousands of them?

I think it's very interesting their construction appears to cease just in time for Christianity to take over Europe in the late 4th century. Previously, Rome had 12 principal deities.
'Nothing good' happens by 'self-oriented individuals doing the least', in fact I would go further and say 'almost nothing' happens at all.

If you've ever been on a 'decent team' you'll see that there are many 'in between' elements of an operating situation that have to be accommodated, and it takes a bit of extra focus and goodwill by everyone if it's going to work out.

This applies not only to tight-knit groups, but large teams, and also to contractors, and can be extended to the system overall, aka companies working with each other, individuals, public servants etc.

We generally have to keep our chins up, and 'try to do our jobs as we can' not the 'minimum we can get away with', knowing full well that it's not going to work out all the time, that some situations are better than others, and that there will be a lot of variables for which your 'expected bonus of 4%' or whatever is only one small part.

This doesn't mean we 'die on a hill for someone else's cause' or work ourselves in a grind for no reason, nor does it mean accepting negative behaviour on the part of employers, and definitely 'some days are better than others' - but 'life is long' and 'consistency over time' does matter.

It doesn't even mean fake emotional posture (you know those people who are always in a good mood!), but rather just 'doing it'.

In most corporate situations, the bar for 'minimum' is actually fairly low and so pragmatically, if we want to be 'trusted' as individuals, there has to be a general expectation that we will do 'it' not the 'minimum' or it just won't work.

Obviously, things will be uneven in so many ways - some people's 'minimum' will be better than other's 'best effort', but that's life - that's all part of it.

It's an issue of productivity, but arguably, morality as well.

It's actually a bit troubling that people would even need to ask the question, I hope this level of selfish orientation is a niche mentality and not some kind of new, secular social trend.

It's also hard to even grasp that people could be so cynical - I feel sorry for people in that posture, because either they've literally never 'been on a team' and have no internalization of those dynamics, or a are just depressed or have a negative life outlook. I'm not very athletic myself, but over the years I've gravitated towards people who do play sports, especially team sports, as having more of an innate sense for those things. Even 'toxic' people are more often than not just misfits, at least they are interesting.

It's a sad kind of organizational problem as well - the people who are overtly bad or toxic are easy to let go of, but the pernicious malignancy of 'do the least' is worse.

'Doing the thing' it usually doesn't cost any more material time, just focus. If you're going to do it, then do it.

Good article, terrible headline.
Considering the size and makeup of the Roman empire, I wouldn't be surprised if there were substantial differences in every-day purely utilitarian activities for no other reason than "that's how we do it here". People didn't even speak the same language (Britain never adopted Latin as a common language, and Gaul didn't until after these devices are dated).

Unfortunately a lot of these details about every-day life are lost to history as no one bothered to write it down "as everyone already knows about it".
Very Nice! One caveat is that say won't speak the "minus" if your SNR became negative.

Glad to hear it, sir.

To be clear, despite years and $30k+ in therapy, I'm still undeniably fucked up. By and large, they've been good therapists. IMO, the best have done their best.

Recently I'm coming around to the realization that extended periods of stress as an adolescent does long-term damage. I was struggling and wishing for death or any alternative to my painful reality frequently from the ages of 12-17 years old.

On the outside, I am a successful executive on the cutting edge at a very large firm, but my personal life has been a tour of one mess to the next. My current partner is a great person, couldn't tell you a single negative thing about her. But a lot of days I'm still struggling to hold myself together.

What I'm attempting to convey is that nothing exists in a vacuum. When I go out and see people in public or at work, it's rare to see signs of how messed up they are. But I believe most of us hide a secret pain to varying degrees.

Otherwise, people are just goddamned, insufferably boring.
Which, on the whole, is a good thing.

I use the classical and only legitimate definition of bitrot.

Any other instance using that term is merely a corruption of language meant to mislead and confuse, and make communication harder if not impossible.

Its hard enough communicating technical issues without people corrupting the language used to do it. Bitrot has nothing to do with program design and deprecation.

My gut feeling is that machine learning is pretty good at this kind of text categorization. You could also try going old school and using stylometry. There are a bunch of companies trying to sell GPT detection.

But also remember captcha stands for Completely Automated Turing Test to Tell Humans and Computers Apart. Automated isn't necessarily always a hard requirement, for a Turing Test just using your gut is fine.

It’s funny how that works. I remember when fake leather was generally thought of as a bad thing, granted at times it could be really plastic like and brittle…. but at some point it clearly became both cheaper and really durable.

I thought more or less the same. Sometimes people think strong typing is type safety. Weak/strong typing is a very confusing concept now, I think dynamic / static is a much clearer division.

Well this kind of my point. Questions that are hard for an unfamiliar person to answer even after googling are where these chat LLMs really shine. Having a chat interface to simply search the web for related concepts is not all that useful. It's not totally useless, but there's not much value there if you know how to use a search engine well.
