It seems more like you're saying "It's ok that your toaster doesn't cook pop-tarts, you shouldn't be having those anyway--the sugar's bad for you." Your way of doing things might not be everybody's.

Nothing has to cater to anything but I'm still allowed to be annoyed that I can't read it on mobile.
My term "same people" was referring to the oligarchs. They complain about the invasion from the Southern border, yet they also complain about people "not wanting to work." It's pretty clear they want to keep America white. I think alarm bells are going off for them with the slipping of the white majority in America.
Most homeowners would make a profit, but any of them who have bought or refinanced a house in the past few years would be idiots to sell now because of the interest rates.
I suspect that they would, if for no other reason that if the direct action is indiscriminate in whom it harms, then the well-heeled will have the resources necessary to seek compensation via litigation while the marginalized will be out of luck.
Crows Are Recursive
There are two truths here which are often taken to preclude one another, but I think they can coexist

1. Depression can be treated and even overcome in some circumstances

2. There are very justifiable reasons many people might be depressed
Yeah, and its good at minimizing high frequencies, which is why the dct is used in image compression. There is no good general windowing, understanding is key, and where smoothing or windowing will hide the effect of the border, thus inhibiting understanding, mirroring helps understanding.
> I find VS-code running notebooks with Colab plugin installed pretty helpful for this type of thing already.

I think you meant "with the Github Copilot plugin installed".
> I think really importantly, whatever failings the technique has, it’s reflective of humanity itself, and humans are often slightly wrong or misleading.

Absolutely, and I don't think every explanation has to be perfect to be useful, hence me saying "you gotta watch out" and not "fuck this tool, nobody should use it."
The default engine in beautiful is/was "regex engine". Just saying.
I bought a home specifically so I don't have to deal with landlords and their own level of bullshit.
Yes, supply has been limited. But demand - as well as what the market will bear* - has also increased. Price is a function of all three.

* We had the 30 yr mortgage and now 40 yr and 50 yr mortgages are seen as a way to make buying a home more affordable. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. The longer term lowers the monthly payment (temporarily) but at the same time demand is increased. When demand is increased...wait for it...prices increases.

On the other hand, as unpopular as this might be to say, limiting mortgages to 25 yrs, 20 yrs, or less would lower demand. Yes, please, also increase supply.

If you want a comparable example, look at student loans. More loans, larger loans and lower rates...increased demand, as well as what the market could bear and...prices went up, up, up.

This isn't rocket science. It's Economics 101. Unfortunately, most of our political "leader" are versed in law, not basic economics.
notepad++ has this feature, and I think current windows versions do as well
10-15 years out AI will be good enough to wipe out at least half of all software developers on the planet (that is, people writing actual code). That's not a risky prediction, that's very easily going to be the case.

Those people have nowhere to go to match what they're earning now. Maybe support review roles (which won't pay particularly well), where they approve decisions by the AI that are held up for human approval.

The bottom half of software developers won't have AI assistants. The AI will have them as human assistants (required by corporations for control/safety/oversight purposes).

The ~50%-25% bracket will build software using AI tools and will rarely write the actual code.

In the top ~25% bracket (in terms of skill) you'll have software developers that are still paid very well and they'll directly write code, although not always. That group will be the only one remaining that is paid like today's software developers get paid.

Software developer in the future will most commonly mean someone who builds software via AI tools (with the AI writing nearly all of the actual code). Human software developers will be glorified prompt wizards (with required degrees; it won't be a great job).

For the median software developer, the peak has already been reached (in terms of pay and job security).

Emerging market software developers will be hammered before their economies can fully benefit from the relatively high pay of the industry (from off-shoring work from big tech).

The golden run is over for the bottom 3/4 of software developers. Prepare for it. Get used to it. In the developed world the ladder up and out of the middle class via software development is going to go away (and quickly).

To regularly write code in the future you'll have to be damn good. Good enough, and knowledgeable enough, to be better at what you're doing than an AI with a handler (human assistant). You'll be writing the AI systems that govern everything and it'll be increasingly regulated, with more government licensing (plausibly formal AI engineer licensing and actual accountability, because the risks will go way up).

Nerd Helmet? Ouch.
> why not just build (and maintain) the firebreaks, wait for a wildfire to happen inside the burn zone, and then just refuse to put it out?

Per my understanding, part of performing a controlled burn is mustering more resources near the burn (spatially and temporally) than you could reasonably maintain near every possible burn site all the time.
We do need c2.com. I was just thinking about wiki because it looks like I'm going to need to train a few people and I was wondering what Ward (not my dad) was running at c2.com
I built a bunch of pages there and although perhaps the development ideas are not leading edge (or new?) any more, I at least like to look up the stuff that I wrote there. Also, I don't know who is using what out there, but crucial rules of thumb on that wiki are not followed and the continued fragility of systems is a result.
That community was, let's say, idiosyncratic, but all good communities are, IMO.
I am still very much hoping that c2.com comes live again, with improvements, and that stuff like federation gets hammered out.
There are two things that I liked about wiki:
1) Its elegant, user friendly design/philosophy/ethos. :)
2) Its workingness. :(
I am so glad I stumbled on this site. Bookmarking.
If anybody cares, the query that got me here was:
What is c2.com running?
I just wanted to know the OS in case I wanted to send code along.
Here is a design improvement I would hack in, just for the insanity of it:
Add a Generative Pre-trained Transformer so you could
type in ... aw nuts. You could get it to write something for you like this:
Automated content generation: You can issue commands to the GPT backend to write about specific topics and have it generate content for the wiki page. This can be useful for quickly populating or updating pages with relevant information.

Collaborative editing: With the GPT backend, you can allow visitors to temporarily rewrite the wiki page to their liking. This enables collaborative editing, where multiple users can contribute and modify the content while ensuring a history of changes is maintained.

Intelligent refutation: You mentioned the ability to issue a disagreement and instruct the system to refute the previous content. By integrating GPT, you can prompt it to generate counter-arguments or provide alternative perspectives to foster a balanced discussion.

Personalization and anticipation: Over time, the GPT backend can learn from user interactions and get to know individuals personally. This can enable it to anticipate their preferences, interests, or even the types of content they are likely to contribute. Such personalization can enhance the user experience.

Aesthetic improvements: You can instruct the GPT backend to optimize or rewrite its own code to make the wiki front end more aesthetically pleasant. This may involve generating CSS styles, layout modifications, or even interactive design elements based on user preferences.

Intelligent linking: By leveraging the GPT backend's language generation capabilities, you can automate the process of hyperlinking important terms, concepts, or keywords in the wiki content. The system can identify relevant sources, explanations, or further reading materials and dynamically add hyperlinks for easy access to additional information.

Aha! So that’s where it comes from…
So, if wikidata is where bing gets it’s facts about the world, that opens the door to lots of pranks. And edit wars :)
Yes, and not just housing costs... all costs. The general cost of living has gone way up everywhere (some places more than others of course).
thank you for this! I have something very similar
That's my guess as well. Sometimes Google emails end up in spam, even on GMail. Since spam is purged after 30 days, if it ended up there, there would be no trace of it at this point.
New paper introduces ethics framework for use of Generative AI in healthcare
Thanks for checking it out.

Right now aider doesn't even try and deal with files larger than the context window. For gpt-4, that's 8k tokens or about 32kbytes. Which is pretty reasonable.

According to the data in [1], the average source file in github is less than 14KB. It's worth noting that they explicitly discarded small files with less than 10 lines. So the true average is probably much lower.

Regardless, I haven't found the gpt-4 context window issue to be problematic in practice yet. You do need to be careful about how many files you "add to the chat" at once. But that's not hard. For sure there are cases where you would need to refactor a large file before you could use it with aider.

I am certainly interested added context window management features to aider. I have previously explored a bunch of approaches for this with gpt-3.5-turbo. I shared some notes about these experiments previously on HN [2].

> Heather Heward is a senior instructor at the University of Idaho who teaches about forests and fires. She said it’s not just federal land we need to be thinning and burning, it’s private land, too.

> “We have a real lack of (prescribed burn) practitioners, specifically on the private land side, that are able to do this work because – we're scared, honestly. We are scared that something will go wrong and that someone will sue us. I'm scared of that,” she said.
Seriously, just use KDE Plasma. Sure, it's not 'minimal', but on modern hardware it sings. It just works. It's a batteries-included desktop. It's built on a toolkit that people actually like using (Qt) and they don't change it constantly in backwards-incompatible ways just because the mood strikes them. It doesn't treat you like an infant with ADHD. They don't constantly fix things that aren't broken. Plus if you have a problem you have a decent chance of finding the solution via Google, unlike with a lot of the 'long tail' WMs/DEs people have mentioned.

Note, this is allows one to "retrieve the master password from the software’s memory", not from disk.

Which means the importance is pretty low.. if you have a malicious program running in your account it is game over anyway, as it can sniff the keyboard or inject code into process or do many other things to steal your password.

Researcher says the big problem is "someone could obtain access to your computer and conduct forensic analysis". I agree with that, and I also thing this is not a big concert for many people.
How did you manage to keep the BOM so low. Very impressed!
I responded in detail him about, but honestly I can't think of many that answer your qiestion. It's amost always the opposite. A I like to present this as stereotypical example of the types of differences you find the two, IMO. Generating a 3x3 matrix of random booleans.

>Julia

A = rand(Bool,3,3)

Python: No standard support for Matrices. I could really do it a disservsice and comapre the "core language", but that''s obivously stupid so we'll bring in some external libraries to make it easier. Of many ways to skin the cat here's one..

>Python

import numpy.numpy as np
gen = np.random.default.default_rng()
B = gen.choice([True,False],(3,3))

I find myself just taking `rand(["Msg1",.....,"MsnN"])` to get a random string often.
And small things like this are why you see people Julia is so nice to write and become so defendant of it.
If this were Star Trek: Picard, we’d find out that Hitler’s brain was transferred into an android body in 1945 and he wrote the song “Paranoid Android” fifty years later.
Jesus, this just triggered another nightmare scenario I should have thought of earlier.
People are going to have it write and/or comment a function whose purpose is non-trivial and not straight-forward.
It will be not or imperfectly checked that the comment actually says what it should and the functionality matches.
There will be no indication of what was written by AI, so the only option is to guess that both were written competently/with the same purpose, but when they don't actually match there's no way to know which is wrong except to check all other code that interacts with it and figure out what has been working right/expecting what was originally intended in ways that subtly break/have been working right depending on the incorrect implementation that existed.

This is absolutely something that already happens with fully human developers, but it seems likely to be much more frequent and not caught as soon with AI assistance.

This also seems like a failure mode that could go pathologically wrong on a regular basis for TDD types.
"The only kind of love is stone blind love" -Tom Waits

It's very hard for someone to accept that what they feel is the best thing that ever happened to them, is actually some kind of scam. Logically, most of the victims of this will have plenty of clues, and plenty of reasons to suspect, but they will still keep going along with it because of the strong feelings involved. That is what makes this type of scam so egregious.
Thanks!

Ordered two.
> I have observed that many of my peers want to be “managed.” What they like about the arrangement is the feeling of isolated from responsibility and liability. Do as told. It’s sort of an “anti self reliance” thing. An attempt to be, as an adult, in a relationship that looks more like a subservient child-parent relationship.

What a bizarre take. I like programming, I don't like dealing with all the people stuff. I've run my own business and it involved focusing on all the things I find uninteresting and focusing very little on the things I find very interesting. So for me it's just a matter of not liking that position. This belief that everyone who isn't in management is some sort of troglodyte who can't pick their own nose is very childish.
The climate crisis isn't true, these panics never are. Look at the data. If there was a crisis people would be dying but deaths from weather are massively down over the last 100 years. You can't actually perceive climate change with your senses because the changes are far too small and slow, so you have to rely on news media and academics who aren't exactly reliable.

Wouldn't them turning off their DMs mean they don't want to be messaged? This seems like the definition of unsolicited.
No, they also said they think we'll find out "really really soon", which seems highly likely.
Would you include political ideology as another problem? If bitcoin/ether fulfilled their potential, wouldn't that mean the US dollar would fall as the world reserve currency and thereby weaken the US government's influence? This seems to be the main reason for introducing a CBDC as it gives nation states complete control over their money.
Hat tip to this post. Google tells me from searching "us percentage of home ownership":

Renters are politically invisible in the United States due to the economic situation. Rent will continue to rise to unsustainable levels and nothing will done. As Charlie Munger (Berkshire Hathaway #2) says: "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome."
Here in Flagstaff and NAZ we've been getting hit hard by huge wildfires. The amount of fuel in these forests is mindblowing, and terrain is often a big challenge, too.

Luckily, we had a heavy monsoon season last year and a brutal winter. So much water that roads/levees have broken and lakes that are normally dry beds were overflowing. This has abated the normally horrible winds of April/May. This wet and abnormally calm weather has allowed for some action and I'm beyond pleased to have seen numerous prescribed burns in the forests around town this year. I really hope they can keep it up and treat a few thousand more acres before conditions turn.

The forest service seems like it does a good job here with fuel and flood management. There are still pockets of land that are wayyyy overladen/undertreated but much of the area, especially near town has been treated with thinning and slash and burn piles.

Unfortunately, the logging industry here is deteriorating and one of the longest-running operators closed shop. A few factors contributed to this, including the failure to open an OSB plant in Winslow, and the closure of a local mill just before the turn of the millenium. A damn shame, as logging ops really bolster the ability of the FS to manage fires.

Are you saying that because the Open RAIL M license doesn't conform to the OSI definition of "open source"?

I agree that it's not "open source", but I don't think that means it's "proprietary".

Most people in China actually want to be one of the “little people”. They get compensated way more than what they could make in their lifetime.

Doing the same in California would be 10-100x more expensive though, people are just cheaper there.
This what you get when you mess with us.
I'm sure Diamond would be happy to have company provided housing, and pay employees in company script that is good at the company store -- imagine the profit potential!
It's hard for me to justify living in one of the most expensive cities unless it's connected to employment in some way (or I have more money than I know what to do with). Yes, they're often nice (in some ways). But a lot of smaller cities have nice walkable cores if that's your thing. Or you can just visit big cities now and then if you want to.
Astmaker – A DSL in Rust for programming language designers
Yeah but think of how long it will take for the ripples to settle, if it ever could in our lifetime. We're still dealing with supply shocks from the initial panic around COVID and no fab capacity was actually lost then.
It could be, they currently aren't making money really, right? We don't know if they can monetize it and we know the queries are quite expensive computationally.
Free of charge, unless they don’t like what sort of programs you run! Google bans certain open source AI models in Colab, like Pygmalion. See https://colab.research.google.com/github/PygmalionAI/gradio-...
Depending on the person, it can be true. I know through mutual friends that the first person I ever had to terminate walked off with a hard drive full of our IP and a prototype dev kit of a device the company was working on.
I think there is a whole generation of developers who have no experience with how to do these things in the absence of telemetry, so they genuinely believe it's not possible.
In general I'd be in agreement with you, but I think this is one case where the typical argument is quite clearly true. I've lived in regions with slash and burn agriculture, which uses seasonal controlled burns. It is horrible. Air quality levels spike into the hundreds for a period of weeks to months, depending on the specifics of the season. It's difficult to tolerate in my hoity toity life with indoor work, air conditioning, and multiple air purifiers [barely] managing to keep the air breathable.

At the same time this is happening, there are countless people working outdoors or in other sorts of conditions where they don't have such luxuries. And the cost is masked because, somewhat like smoking, many of the consequences happen over many years if not decades. And even when you do hit a climax, it may be argued that the bad air contributed, but did not provably cause, e.g. some cardiovascular event.

Of course, if you don't burn - then a lightning strike, or a firebug, means you're going to really burn. Clearly we need an army of sheep. Gah, then people would complain about the methane and massive marbled mutton fests. Cripes things are tricky.
