Thanks so much! Can't wait to hear what you think.
Together’s $20M seed funding to build open-source AI and cloud platform
In a brief test, I found that the bigger context window only meant that I could stuff a whole schema into the input. It still hallucinated a value. When I plugged in a call to a vector embedding to only use the top k most "relevant" fields it did exactly what I wanted: https://twitter.com/_cartermp/status/1657037648400117760

YMMV.
ssh has supported x11 forwarding since at least 01996, and i've frequently forwarded vnc over it as well

i think the problem here is that x11 is shitty at 'inline' (things tend to open annoying new windows) and a modern terminal cosplaying a vt100 is shitty at graphics

sixel doesn't solve that problem; your terminal emulator is still shitty at graphics
> As a result, they would not only be logging DNS records but also the entire unencrypted data transfer.

Note that even if you have the private key for a specific certificate, you still cannot perform a passive MitM attack against servers that use modern TLS using perfect forward secrecy, and active MitM attacks can sometimes be detected by the web server itself. There are different techniques that have cropped up; here's an old doc page about Caddy v1, mainly because it's the one that I remembered first:

https://caddy.its-em.ma/v1/docs/mitm-detection

That said, as others have mentioned, CT logs basically foil direct man-in-the-middle attacks abusing CA certificates. The attack will work, assuming it isn't foiled by HSTS, but it will be detected. For a government surveillance program, this would obviously be a very bad outcome.

The CA system definitely gets some deserved flak for being flawed, however I've personally found myself impressed with how much practical security against attackers the web ecosystem has managed to build up. It also was probably good to get more of it done ahead of time before governments could try to abuse gaps in the system; as it stands now, if we had DoH and ESNI (edit: or, now, ECH, I suppose) deployed widely across the internet, it would probably render this entire government surveillance operation useless.

I'm linking to a bit earlier in time because on web.archive.org every hyperlink takes you a bit further to the future, eventually (sometime in 2016) ending up on a redirect to the JS version.

I'm saying that this policy of apprenticeships and the like has continued for thousands of generations, not that it ended thousands of generations ago. Apprenticeships still exist, both formal and informal.

There's a good chance that either we evolved to it, or it evolved to us, over that time span. Much less so with respect to mass education.

Mass education abandoned Chesterton's fence. For reasons, but pedagogical adaptations were still lost with the abandonment of it. And now educators need to relearn and reimplement structures which fulfill the purpose of those lost adaptations. The process of reimplementing these purposes (and adapting to novel purposes that come with non-lifelong-employment) means that students are still falling through the cracks.

The existance of commercial products doesn't eliminate researchers ability to publish work. Also users are smart. ML-powered search has existed for many years with users voting with their feet based on black boxes and "big numbers and big announcements".
One of these days, I will get around to making the ultimate emacs UI: zero defaults.

Give me a way to set and organize keybinds, good documentation, and nothing else. Every time I need a new keybind, I must explicitly decide what it will be. Inconvenient? So is learning the default, or worse, figuring out how my unique config accommodates that default.

It would be more work now for less work later. It would also move the work of UI/UX design into the same step as UI/UX learning; which I consider the most sensible place and time to do that work.

> Zevia sodas.

I'm not asking for products with the stuff in there, I'm asking for the raw product. Interesting that company has Disney copyright at the bottom, oh, I see... marketing.

> “stevia blended with other sweeteners”

In small letters, of course. I'd argue that most people don't look past the headline of 'STEVIA IN THE RAW'.

> Why do you feel the need to purchase and use powdered added sweetener products in your cooking?

I personally don't add it, but the partner likes it. When I started to investigate what they were adding (mostly because it gives me a massive amount of flatulence), I found a whole lot of "truth in advertising" failure. We've since stopped and I've become a more aware of the reality of this stuff.
> For some reason, that is not enough, and the office workers need a better argument than "real product development happens at the water cooler".

Here's the thing: they don't need a better argument. They don't need an argument at all. It's their preference.

> I don't understand it fully. It doesn't seem morally justifiable to me, and they encroach more on the professional autonomy on the remote worker than the remote worker does to them.

Here's the thing: it doesn't need to be morally justifiable to you or anyone else. It's a preference for working in-office with other people in-office.

I think you do understand this it's just that you don't like it because you have your own preference.

The others seem to have fallen into disrepair if they are still up at all.

Of course the WSJ may be wrong, but it’s based off of profit whereas your link seems to be revenue. Which would enable both to be true I think.

Regarding the other point of 15-20 years ago, OpenGL only started stagnating on the Mac with 4.1 in 2010. Prior to that gaming was still really missing on a Mac.

I’m also in agreement that it can’t be ignored. I just think it’s overstated.

But in general I think we’re saying the same things, and debating the nuances.

This reminds me of those trashy articles like the ones Microsoft peddles on their Windows 11 widgets tab. They basically take a few tweets with just a handful of likes and create an entire article around them. The buzz that they are drumming up feels artificial and contrived. And if the author was really lacking in integrity, they could just set up anonymous Twitter accounts and conjure up the posts themselves.

It looks like Maybe/Option is just a Booleans-in-disguise. As I'm in favor of banning Booleans (and if-statements), so it makes sense to ban Maybe/Option-s also.
I've used it many times for things that aren't technical. It's fantastic. I love that it provides references.
Assuming an nvidia GPU and requisite system memory, use llama.cpp compiled with cublas support, then run with the -ngl [n layers] option. You'll need a model quantized after May 12 to work with this.

The smallest GPU-only 7B 4-bit model requires 8GB VRAM, so it's either do CPU only or use the GPU offload above.

Error-Message Guidelines
The best way is to make sure you ACCOMPLISH something. I did the same as you and actually got a massively better role after my startup failed. The reason was because I accomplished something that's hard to accomplish.

How about you get a client before leaving? You should be able to find someone to pay for what you're making. If you can't work an additional 10,15,20 hrs per week at a cushy FAANG job and get a client you probably shouldn't leave to work the brutal life of rejection building a new company entails.

The egregious-ness of taxation is seen only by the amount of money spent, not in the fashion in which it's collected. If you want lower taxes, you have to specify what things you're going to cut. (And you have to be honest about it: singling out tiny programs you disagree with doesn't even begin to cover it.)

All taxation is "double taxation". There's only a finite amount of money in the system. It just moves around. The government pays for its spending by taking a bit of it every time it moves. There's no single fair way to do that; everybody will always say that it should fall on somebody else.

Eliminating "double taxation" isn't a reasonable or useful goal. To cut taxes, you have to cut spending. And "cut spending on everybody but my priorities" isn't a useful way to think about that.
What can parents do about it? Cut their kids off? Will they be better off if they reach adulthood without being immersed in the tech culture of their day? They might be at first, but they might struggle as adults to thrive in the brave new world we’re creating with tech where “software is eating the world”
> What did DEC have on Microsoft to get them to port Windows NT to the AXP architecture?

> That was an obvious money pit at the time. Also remember that Microsoft had just released the explicitly 32-bit Win32 API, nobody in the PC world was interested in 64-bit architecture. Win32 was the new shiny toy.

IIRC, they had Windows NT releases for PowerPC and MIPS, too.

At the time, I think the matra was "CISC is dead, long live RISC." It was prudent on Microsoft's part to be ready if Intel became uncompetitive, to avoid finding themselves it Apple's early-90s situation with Motorola.

This I 100% agree with. The parent post was essentially that Rails doesn't scale and "everything else scales better".

Most battle tested languages and frameworks can be adequately scaled if you have the right devs. I think that a lot of the reason we see system rewrites due to scalability is more because startups tend to hire developers that like to "build new things fast" and those aren't necessarily the same as the developers that have already dealt with 1M+ users at petabyte scale.

Once you become that successful sometimes the solution is to bring in people that have solved these problems of scalability previously. This sometimes results in rewrites in whole or in part because their experience is on a different stack.

In one of the PHP to Rails (for scalability) projects I worked on I was contacted quite early in the process. I am a longtime friend with one of the business owners. The existing developers could not scale the product horizontally and were already on the largest instances available at the time so there was no more ability to scale vertically.

They had hired a new technical lead that had extensive experience scaling Rails, but most of the team only knew PHP. My team did both Rails and PHP consulting at the time and we were hired to speed up the rewrite in Rails while the PHP devs were doing a mix of trying to keep things running and learn Rails so they could support after the rewrite.

The first thing I did was review the existing PHP codebase. I then advised that they not switch to Rails because I firmly believed that in about 3 months the PHP version could be refactored to allow for adequate horizontal scalability. The full rewrite was expected to take a little over a year.

The owner agreed that my assessment was probably right, but he still opted for the rewrite because the new lead was competent at scalability and likely would have quit if they stayed on PHP.
Haha yep this pretty much sums it up. Great find.
The challenge with authorization is that mistakes are catastrophic.

The foremost benefit of Cedar is that the implementation is formally proven. Which means that you are extremely unlikely to have to deal with unexpected behavior! Of course, the modeling needs to be reviewed manually for completeness, but the verifier can tell if the model is buggy or inconsistent.
At the time, the Alpha chip WAS the hotness. The first x64 chip was released in 1999 (by AMD, not Intel) and there was some reasonable expectation the Alpha would be THE chip for high capacity computing and even personal computing. Also, many gov contracts at the time had stipulations that you had to be an 'open' computing platform, which included being able to run on multiple architectures.
I'm pretty sure I browsed the java version last week, or maybe even just 2-3 days ago.

I really love(..d?) the "stream of consciousness" nature of the c2 discussions. It is easily among the greatest intellectual rabbit holes of oldschool internet. The extremely minimal, kind of robust formatting probably also contributed to why it was such a compelling read at times. Content over form, for sure.

> Once again the market sorts things out itself.

It's always funny to see "the free market works itself out" used in contexts where markets are anything but free, due to intense regulation, high barriers to entry, and inelastic demand.

After national defense and healthcare, it's hard to think of a market that is less free - by economists' definition of "free" - than housing.

> I think, when it comes to questions of discrimination (on the basis of race/gender/etc), it is good that society seeks to prohibit it in public settings (government, the education system, the workplace, public [accommodations], etc), but trying to outlaw it in private is a road to totalitarianism, and that's true even if private discrimination is objectively morally wrong.

Finding the appropriate response is key, in policy, as in individual action. Response to an undesirable behavior need not (and typically should not) be blunt or "zero tolerance". There are a wide range of better responses / interventions.

Policies (whether before-the-incident precautions or after-the-harm responses) can be evaluated both in terms of (a) moral intent and (b) moral outcomes. Ascertaining intent of a collective decision (often requiring some kind of voting or consensus) can be theoretically impossible and often practically impossible.

But when it comes to moral outcomes, there are warning signs that suggest an immoral policy: (i) lack of a targeted impact; (ii) poor benefit / cost ratio; (iii) disproportional response; (iv) high sensitivity (as in "sensitivity analysis") to imprecise or unknowable information; (v) serious unintended consequences; (vi) prioritizing ends over means
If you remember the original premise of Seinfeld it was:

No hugging, no changing.

So he was reversing the standard (by then) TV trope of "characters learn from their mistakes, hug each other, the end."

Of course, "no hugging, no changing" itself is a trope.
Ryuichi Sakamoto’s newly released final playlist, played at his funeral
I'm struggling to think of a single word in an American accent (from American people I have listened to) that has a letter "o" pronounced correctly, as IPA "ɒ". If that's true, and Americans never learn to make that sound until they try to mimic another accent, then shouldn't this be described more as a speech impediment, rather than an accent?

But yes, it's "mahmmy", which is only very subtly different from a British "mummy" - in the American version, there's almost a hint of an "r" at the end of the vowel, whereas the British version has a straight (and short) "u".

"Don't be evil" was never the company ethos, only a smokescreen.
I would almost agree with you on the AGI angle, but my beliefs are still recovering from the shock of how we kind of randomly stumbled into solving multiple classes of seemingly intractable cognitive problems, just by feeding a program half the Internet and letting it position pieces of words in a hundred thousand dimensional vector space.

Human brain has to do a lot of work processing and integrating all the senses we use, which could cover at least for part of the neural capacity you mention, but I feel that where thinking is concerned, we may have accidentally solved the core problems. I somewhat expect that we'll look back and see that current LLMs were to human minds what the ol' Model T is to Tesla Model S - vastly different in levels of advancement, but also fundamentally the same thing.
Music output is "on the list".

Biggest fundamental issue is the speaker built in the ESP BOX is optimized for speech and not going to impress anyone playing music.

That said, the ESP BOX (of course) supports bluetooth so we can definitely pair with a speaker you bring.

Willow is the first of it's kind that I'm aware of to enable this kind of functionality at anything close to this price point in the open source ecosystem. Either we (or someone else) is likely going to manufacture an improved ESP BOX with market competitive speakers built-in for music playback.

Then it's "just" a matter of actually getting the music audio but we'll figure that out ;).
Likely speed - I ran Windows 2000 Pro on a Digital Personal Workstation 600au (Miata) Alpha 21164 system back then because the CD for both Windows 2000 Professional and Office 97 for Alpha came in my monthly TechNet subscription. Even though the OS and Office were 32-bit, it was by far the fastest workstation in the building, and new IT staff always came down to see it (to believe it).

Well, hold on -- the selfish gene is not hardwired to self-multiply either. It's just that the ones that do self multiply stick around more.

Likewise, one can imagine the evolution of AI's being bootstrapped, not by self-multiplying, but by humans multiplying them. The smartest ones will get copied by people. At some point, someone will be the first person to create an AI that picks the best of other AIs and uses them. Someone will be the first person to create an AI that can engineer and train other AIs. Someone will create the first robot body to be controlled by a very intelligent AI. People will want them as servants, and we will multiply them. We will give more money to companies that provide cheaper products, and such companies will have a strong incentive to replace human labor with AI-controlled robots. There will be a first datacenter, and a first power plant, that is entirely "manned" by AI-controlled robots.

Natural selection is not so different from the selection provided by economic forces, and it's way, way slower. This train may be hard to stop. Unless we collectively push back with a lot of force, the world will tend toward more automation, and that means more ways for digital intelligences to act on the world.
