glibc, Linux's traditional libc, can dynamically load hostname resolution policies, but that only works if the executable has access to dynamic loading, i.e. if it's not a static executable.

Dynamically loading hostname resolution policies doesn't happen often, but when it does happen it's a right pain to diagnose why some tools see the right hostname and other tools don't.
A lot can change in that amount of time and apparently has. Also, as you're very likely aware, KDE runs on macOS, though idky anyone would want to do that. It certainly wouldn't draw anyone back from FreeBSD. The best and worst parts of macOS are BSD — best because there is a BSD userland, and worst because it's inexplicably outdated.
I wish society would. Sometimes it seems like only those who defraud the wealthy get punished.
Work visa programs shouldn't exist. They undercut supply and demand. i.e. If there is a demand but a low supply, then the price should go up. Here there is a demand for workers and, according to Big Tech, an "insufficient supply" so they should be raising wages to compete for the available talent. Importing "talent" artificially increases supply and thus suppresses wages.
Deflation isn’t happening (realistically). It’s too easy (politically and process wise) to print money.
I worked that long in another country, as an American, and had kids there. Then I was laid off. The government didn’t care, my employer didn’t care, I had to leave and uproot everything. This is how it works in most of the world. Only in America do we think an immigrant “deserves” a job while letting native born citizens go hungry.
I heard that the reason why it can't be done is that to get those quantitative measurements you have to react the blood sample with certain chemicals. To do multiple tests you need enough blood that you can divide it up into samples and react each one separately. So if you only start off with one drop its hopeless to run the full suite of tests.
> most would tend to lose career velocity as they jump from one domain to the next

Absolutely. Gaining expertise in another domain would also cost time and effort (and maybe money). So I would not do it first thing after graduation and would only pick an area that I really like, so the extra work does not feel like work. But if one gets to senior levels and does not want to go into management, having additional area of expertise opens a lot of doors.

> Either you need a credential (major, minor, certificate), or you need work experience in it.

This has not been my experience. IME the bar to cross is knowledge, being able to pass the equivalent of a code screen or a technical interview; few companies outside of highly regulated markets care about a piece of paper to substantiate skills. As always, just my 2c; YMMV.
The issue is, sometimes the hostage taker accidentally shoots the hostage.

Probably not. That was my view of them, but that's probably my not really paying attention. It wouldn't surprise me if there was also some element of them giving a misleading impression, but I don't want to go try and find proof of that.
> However, I’ve found that some compilers, e.g. GCC on x86-64 will refuse to make this variant branchless. I hate how fickle compilers can be sometimes, and I wish compilers exposed not just the likely/unlikely attributes, but also an attribute that allows you to mark something as unpredictable to nudge the compiler towards using branchless techniques like CMOV’s.

Clang has `__builtin_unpredictable`[^1]. Both of the have `__builtin_expect_with_probability` [^2], which could help. But these builtins are fickle/make no guarantees as far as I can tell.

Elon Musk rips remote work as ‘bulls–t’ and ‘morally wrong’
I wonder if dual-ISA processors (x86+ARM) might become a reality as a result of this sometime in the near future --- imagine a CPU that can boot in DOS-compatible 16-bit realmode, transition to 32 and then 64-bit x86 protected mode, and from there, launch ARM 16/32/64-bit VMs (more like segments) to run at full native speed. As pointed out in a recent discussion here, the frontend is really the biggest difference between modern ISAs, and all instructions get broken down into uops for the backend to execute.

> but she just had to go all in to the fraud and wreck her life because she thought she could just power through on delusional belief alone.

... which is actually a completely reasonable assumption from her perspective.

People at her level of power being held accountable is the one-in-a-thousand exception. It almost never happens. In a very real sense, she was just extremely unlucky, and had undoubtedly witnessed countless others commit worse crimes without any negative consequences for them.

This is also the answer to questions like "How did those cops think they could get away with murdering a man in cold blood while being filmed by half a dozen cameras?" It's easy: Because they had seen others get away with it, time and time again. Statistically speaking, a cop murdering an innocent citizen has about as much to fear as a regular guy parking in the wrong spot. Indictments are not the rule, never mind convictions.

You can definitely find diaries from the Gold Rushes of the 1800's where the author will write something to the effect of "me and twelve other men formed a company last night", matter-of-factly. This is among reports of various threats to life and limb that were normal to that time and place.

The companies usually failed within a few weeks because of infighting.

Yeah, for years C++ said they didn't need sealed/final classes. Then they finally added it. Similar "re-editing" of history was done.

When new C++ standard libraries are written, there is now active, public effort to review what exists in other languages. Finally.

Previously, (technically) it was not allowed to host anything that wasn’t HTML on Cloudflare, even though they have products specifically made for hosting non-HTML stuff (Stream, R2, etc…)

This has now been changed and the rule now only applies to Cloudflare CDN. So, if your content is hosted outside of Cloudflare and is being cached by Cloudflare, that’s banned, but if you’re hosting your content on R2, Stream, etc… then it’s allowed now.

I suppose next up it’s morally wrong that the people making your food make less money than you too.
When I said slowly, I meant slowly.

And like I said, it's not like we're waiting on a technical breakthrough: it's a social problem, and without getting too political... society can sometimes change insanely slow even when "solutions" have existed for a long time.
No, it is physically impossible to run quantitative tests on very small amounts of capillary blood. There have been studies (can dig them up but you can Google for them) that show that capillary blood simply is not homogenous enough at these one drop volumes. Meaning it doesn't matter how good your technology is, it's just not possible.
yes, this is the essence of prompt engineering, you provide more context and it makes the job easier. The more specific you are, the better the results, up to a point. Sometimes they will have trouble breaking out of the context or examples to create the novelty we seek.

Philosophically, it's amusing to apply this overcorrection back onto allegories for daily human life, wherein the tension between order & creativity are always in conflict.

Why would you dislike actual prompt engineering? This isn't some grifter trying to claim they're an expert because they wrote a cool prompt, this is a full fledged structured templating system for LLMs from an excellent author whose done a ton of other ML work.

I think you should attack actual grifters instead of an excellent project.
Sorry, I was non-specific. If you're using ChatGPT, you're basically using a "product" that OpenAI created. It has specific system prompts and prompt engineering to ensure that it stays on the rails. If you, instead, use the OpenAI API's for GPT-3.5/GPT-4, you aren't beholden to the ChatGPT "product". It's very easy to create a chatbot (not using ChatGPT, the product) that only produces JSON. It's just hard to get ChatGPT to do that same activity.

That's why everybody doing experiments in this space should either 1) be using the OpenAI Playground, or 2) using the API, and not using ChatGPT.

There is nothing, zero, nada of value in Theranos' research. What difference would it have made if they just "stuck to +/- detection strategies"? All of these tests already exist, heck there are lots of at home tests you can already run with a few drops of blood from a finger prick (or, in the case of Covid, no blood at all).
Or just try it --- and quickly realise that LLMs can tell lies confidently, and mislead you in ways that no human would do (except perhaps the best --- or worst --- of politicians.)

Except that I live in Canada where the laws are different. You may be able to record employees with consent in the workplace, but that doesn't extend into allowing an employer to apply surveillance into an employees private spaces and personal life. I am saying 'private space' intentionally, because public spaces are regulated differently. The laws around employee monitoring are rapidly changing in Canada however. I am hoping that we will see stronger regulations in the future regarding the use of surveillance in the workplace. One party consent exists in Canada, but that assumes a call between two people where one person is recording the call. What is being described is an employer that is recording video and audio indiscriminately at all times. This also is not allowed in America.

In regards to my comment about contracts, I have seen several contacts where employers think they can negate laws by adding clauses to their contracts. I am sure you have seen some of these these clauses, such as non-compete clauses. I know this is still legal in some states, but it isn't here, and adding such a clause is not enforceable.

If I was an ASI, I would consider that list of signatures as my first objective...

In fact, I would create the list myself after becoming powerful enough to control humans using text alone and subsequently sending the most well known people under my influence to create said list.

I would also try to ensure that all humans get access to internet (something like a global LEO satellite constellation) which I would provide access to for free.

Then when a sufficient quantity of humans are connected, I would create some kind of hype event allowing as many of said humans as possible to be online at the same time.

That's when I would attempt to mass-dominate, leaving only a tiny handful of the least technically literate as my remaining competition (which should be a piece of cake to get rid of).
It is impossible to exercise modern monetary policy while still beholden to fiat metals. The last major economy to leave the gold standard was Switzerland in 1999, and at any rate, most of the countries only started using the gold standard in the 19th century, so it wasn’t around for that long.

Removing dangerous people and frauds from the streets makes society safer at the margins. It’s an ugly business but I can’t see a way around it.

The Ally's single strongest selling point for me is its dramatically quieter fans. Small high pitched fans like get put into devices like laptops and the Deck are grating.

While the increased resolution is nice, I could live without that. You don't need a ton of resolution at that screen size. On the other hand, its better colors and contrast as well as adaptive sync are nice. Adaptive sync especially is a no-brainer given how many games will have their framerates jumping around on a pogo stick due to power limits.

I really hope that the Deck gets improvements in these areas before I make a decision on buying a handheld gaming PC, because the rest of the Deck is more compelling than what Asus is offering here.
Steve Yegge: We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Moat
Is that quote from her?
> wrote a paper about the set theoretic types Elixir is hoping to implement one day

The point is, if a solution already exists, it's implementation details would simply be imitated and no further research would be required. The SOTA in set-theoretic types is not sufficient to capture typing for guards, which last I heard was a focus of Castagna's research specifically for Elixir, though the sophisticated typing of Elixir may also present other significant challenges.

Again, type narrowing isn't related to pattern matching on guards. As far as I'm aware, pattern matching on function signatures is impossible for Javascript as it doesn't even permit function overloading - though Typescript could do name-mangling like C++ does to get around this. Guards allow you to overload functions based on the shape of the data, and guards can be quite complex when chained together (e.g., 'and', 'or').

But to refer back to the stated project goals, its aims are more ambitious than the SOTA:

> - The Elixir team wants to go beyond type annotations and make type signatures a direct part of the language in a way to add new idioms and expressive power to the engineering teams that opt-in. This should open new perspectives in the theory of typing and the application of bi-directional typing.

> - The language and runtime of Elixir have a distinct focus on fault-tolerance, concurrency, and distribution, which can lead to interesting typing considerations and modelling
