Whoh, I don't interpret anything in my response as blaming or attacking you, just asking why you thought what you did.

My apologies for coming across aggressively.

I interpreted your question as blaming Framework for limiting fixes to the new chassis, and wanted to know your source for thinking they were limited, as everything I saw indicated that they were not.

Does the Ars review I linked not indicate that you could fix your battery problems by upgrading the mainboard? (It also mentions that using the larger battery will be possible with a BIOS upgrade, which should further improve things).
Skype was also horribly insecure and leaked your IP which was a cause of a lot of folks in esports getting DDoS'd from it[0].

We had guesses, but nothing particularly informed. My recollection is that we were right more often than not in our guesses, but it's been a while. We only ran experiments on changes we were willing to make. We never went against conclusive results due to judgement.

We also used data a bit less formally. For example, we had something similar to Google analytics' "funnel" feature of how people arrived at some of our pages, and we noticed a usage pattern that indicated we were missing a feature. When we added the feature directly it was one of our most used features.

Is 90MB really that big when compared against the other types of binaries that would get deployed: containers and VM images? How big is the platform (k8s, docker, etc) you need installed to run your app? Probably more than 90MB.
Of course not, there's no meaning of representative that requires this.

>"We informed them of our research in October 2022, and they responded that they would review our findings internally,” Levin said. “They stopped selling them for a while, but then it slowly came back, and then we made sure we won every auction. And all of the ones we got from that were indeed wiped, except there were four devices that had external SD [storage] cards in them that weren’t wiped.”

Well at least it seems to have a happy ending.
In practice, the real number is probably closer to 36% than to 65% (and likely even lower).

Here's the problem: the article doesn't account for the capacity factors of the various new installed sources they mention [1]. A capacity factor is the actual electrical energy produced by a generating unit, divided by the maximum possible electrical energy that generating unit could have produced if it were operating continuously at full power. And under real-world conditions, most renewable energy sources produce at far below their theoretical capacity maximum.

For example: wind turbines have a capacity factor around 36%, and solar installations are under 25% [2]. If we apply these factors to correct the numbers in the article, the picture becomes much bleaker: the headline 1475 MW of new wind capacity drops to just 531 MW, while the headline 2530 MW of installed solar drops to 632 MW. Now let's generously assume that the 100 MW of hydro and 29 MW of biomass from the article both operate at a 100% capacity factor. Under those assumptions, total new installed renewable capacity drops from 4134 MW to 1292 MW — more than threefold. [3]

And of course, the real-world shortfall is even worse than this. Electricity markets need to clear continuously, and the capacity factor for solar when the sun isn't shining is not 25%, but 0%. That means if the hours of peak demand coincide with hours during which solar is offline (which they do during much of the year) there is no amount of solar you can install that will keep the grid online. To sum up: there is no way to escape the need for reliable baseload power. [4]

[1] At least, the article doesn't mention correcting for capacity factors. And the FERC source document it cites gives me a blank page when I click on it in Firefox, meaning there is no way to be sure whether anyone applied this correction. I'm assuming they didn't, because citing high "headline" capacity numbers like this is unfortunately very common in discussions about renewable energy sources.

[2] Capacity factor numbers are for installations in the United States during 2022, from the Energy Information Administration: https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...

[3] From the article: 2530 MW of solar, 1475 MW of wind, 100 MW of new hydro, 29 MW of new biomass, 2259 MW of natural gas.

[4] Even battery installations don't get you there. Between 2022 and 2026, the US is expected to add only 24 minutes worth of battery storage to its grid. This includes residential, non-residential, and grid-scale installations.

Regulation does slow innovation, but is often needed because those innovating will not account for externalities. This is why we have the Clean Air and Water Act.

The debate is really about how much and what type of regulation. It is of strategic importance that we do not let bad actors get the upper hand, but we also know that bad actors will rarely follow any of this regulation anyway. There is something to be said for regulating the application rather than the technology, as well as for realizing that large corporations have historically used regulatory capture to increase their moat.

Given it seems quite unlikely we will be able to stop prompt injections, what are we to do?

Provenance seems like a good option, but difficult to implement. It allows us to track who created what, so when someone does something bad, we can find and punish them.

There are analogies to be made with the Bill of Rights and gun laws. Gun analogy seem interesting because they have to be registered, but often criminals won't and the debate is quite polarized.
Hi, thank you for founding Framework.

Love my 12th gen framework laptop except for an issue with the headphone jack. Waiting on a replacement for that.

I do wish the keyboard was better. See the Thinkpad. Using the function key for terminal paste + home and end forces me to spend a second to think to shift between this and my Thinkpad keyboards. I know you are coming out with magnetic ones-really looking forward to that and hope they match the thinkpad.
You may be right. It isn't easy to convince people to try something new. As for your website contact info link, how do you tell people that have the link to revisit it when you've made a change?
A few years ago, I wrote a compiler for FRACTRAN written in Haskell[0] (translated from Common Lisp) with an associated blog post[1]. Using the tagless-final style you can write a simple program like this:

sumTo :: FracComp repr => Integer -> [repr [Rational]]
sumTo n = [addi "c" 0, addi "n" n, while (jge "n" 0) [adds "c" "n", subi "n" 1]]

And the compiler would output this:

I am not a great father. I am an uncle that 'helped' my wife raise a niece and nephew. Many consider my guardianship to have been, at best, poorly implemented.

I simply went along with whatever they had wanted to do. My wife was stuck with all the non-fun stuff. We climbed mountains, we hiked across deserts, we flew airplanes, we canoed rivers, we ate whatever we wanted and when we wanted (at least when the wife was not around), let them routinely skip school when the wife was not in town, taught them to use all of the power and hand tools in my shop, taught them to use all of the equipment on my electronics benches, took them to IPSC matches, took them to rock concerts (at least I did not allow any weed smoking). Took them to whatever R-rated movies they wanted. Read Heinlein, Asimov, Sprague de Camp, Le Guin, and other such stuff when they were young as bed-time fare. I shit you not, their favorite was 'A Brief History of Time' - not a chance that kids at 5 and 7 years of age understood that Hawking shit, but they liked it.

The boy got a fancy PhD and does stupid shit for stupid people that pay him obscene salaries. The girl got music and math degrees and teaches music and math in a New Mexico public school.

My wife says that they turned out ok in spite of my non-efforts, not because of them. She may be correct, I dunno.

> It's impossible to know the other's mind

Ask. Don't attack.

> So, should they not take English classes either

Not at the university level. See next answer.

> Do you think the state of the average high school graduate is sufficient in English

It's horrible. This is precisely the kind of failure I am referring to.

Why are we assuming that everyone graduating high school must go to college? That is clearly no the case, by a massive margin. Not everyone should or wants to.

OK, from that basis, one where the majority of high school students do not move on to college: What should our high school education look like? What results should it deliver?

Well, they should have a solid commend of their own language, both spoken and written. Is that too much to ask? There should not be any need for an 18 year old to take English classes at the university level for any major that isn't directly in of this. English and Literature majors? Sure. Law? Not a lawyer, maybe. STEM? C'mon.

Another way to look at it is that we are causing serious issues of inequality and reduced opportunity because our high school education is so inadequate that the only way to become useful is to take another year of coursework at the college level. That, again, is a sign of failure. And the consequences to the non-college bound population are severe.

> Says you, completely anecdotally, without much to back it up rather than your own singular experience

Not sure what you are talking about. A bachelors in Europe takes three years and focuses on degree-related work. It is assumed that general education is what you got in high school. This isn't anecdotal or a singular experience, google it. Are there universities where it takes longer? Maybe, I haven't conducted a full survey. I just know that the idea is to graduate young adults from high school with a solid education and not have to engage in "repair work" at the university level if at all possible.

> I have a bunch of friends from High School that never went to college. They are productive members of society

Yeah? What do they do? Only list occupations they learned in high school or were able to walk into because they got a useful amount of training in that domain during high school.

> so quick to denigrate them

Our culture seems to now have the option to interpret the truth as denigration. Not a way to make things better at all.

> The first step would be to actually look at the data and figure out what are the problems and what are the strengths. If you're unwilling or unable to see any strengths, perhaps you should look at the problem closer.

You don't fix strengths. You fix failures. Go research college dropout rates and think of what happened in high school that did not allow so many students to excel in college.
A language model can do many things based on language instructions, some harmless, some harmful. They are both instructable and teachable. Depending on the prompt, they are not just harmless LLMs.
You can slap the buttons hard to get the table to wobble a bit, you can tap the cabinet with your wrists, you can grab the table tightly and move a leg or a hip in the opposite direction while keeping your body rigid, you can even slide the whole table if you're feeling desperate and want to burn a warning.

It's a super physical game if you're taking risky shots and having to recover from bad situations constantly, and the pros make it look like they're barely nudging at all by taking safe shots and making minor corrections with nudges.
I am wondering what qualifies as "complete", though. Any reasonable definition I can come up with is redundant with "representative" and "free of errors".
Just from a quick browse through Framework's replacement parts, almost none of them specify which version they're designed for. So either they're all interchangeable with any chassis version, or the website has an enormous usability problem and can expect a lot of unhappy customers. (I don't own a Framework and I have no idea which of these is the case.)
Perhaps your game is bad? Encouraging folks to gamble on their enjoyment seems like a losing strategy- instead make a compelling game?
> These answers make sense to everyone except neoliberal economists and people in their thrall.

Yes, those are answers. No, they are not solutions. Many of those problems were created by government. Either as means to buying votes or as a result of Cronie Capitalism.

So now the answer - not the solution? - is more of the same? Maybe it would work? But I continually fail to follow the logic.
Spoke to Gitlab rep today about our renewal price (prices going up by 50%+, 25% with "existing customer discount) and the rep used reliability as a key differentiator against GitHub.

I quickly pointed about a major outage affecting Gitlabs shared runners which prevented us from deploying a hot fix (we worked around it, but was a ton of stress and extra work).
Marxist, as in his contrasting of power relations (usiLly shadowy owners/bureaucrats vs consumers, if not proles), and explicit in that all operate in global market. Ie dynamics are always worldwide, connected, interchangeable.

Also Marxist by extension, because Curtis is taking after Debord and baudeillard: wafting underneath it all is a vapor,the commoditization of everything, the flattening of reality, mass media as a factory for dispositions.

Fwiw - I don't necessarily see the great man view, it's more a Ted talky way of anchoring his stories. E.g. sure Clinton xyz, but could just as well be interchangeable usa president xyz.

All major industries have achieved regulatory capture in the USA: lobbyists for special interests have Congress and the Executive Branch in their pockets.

This seems like a legal moat that will only allow very wealthy corporations to make maximum use of AI.

In the EU, it has been reported that new laws will keep companies like Hugging Face from offering open source models via APIs.

I think a pretty good metaphor is: the wealthy and large corporations live in large beautiful houses (metaphor for infrastructure) and common people live like mice in the walls, quietly living out their livelihoods and trying to not get noticed.

I really admire the people in France and Israel who have taken to the streets in protest this year over actions of their governments. Non-violent protest is a pure and beneficial part of democracy and should be more widely practiced, even though in cases like Occupy Wall Street, some non-violent protesters were very badly abused.

What happens when a consumer does not understand the producer’s domain and misuses the data? As we load metadata with semantics of their own, we just kick the can down the road. Metadata is itself semantics about data. In many regulated environments, as producer you are responsible for downstream aggregations etc. I think the idea works great in prototyping, but similar to data mesh, ownership is poorly defined in the presence of aggregate domains and it’s more tuned to operational point to point interfaces.
First I did not say we should keep ecosystems stable, I don't believe that.

There is a difference between non-native and invasive species.

Non-native species: These are species that have been moved from their native habitats to a new environment, usually as a result of human activities. Non-native species can be any type of organism, including plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria.

Invasive species: These are non-native species that not only survive in their new environments but also reproduce rapidly and spread widely, causing harm to the local ecosystem, economy, or human health. They can out-compete native species for resources, alter habitats, and disrupt ecosystem functions.

Here is a study on Stinknet in the Sonoran Desert. If you read through it I think most would say is qualifies as invasive in this environment
https://sdcwma.org/docs/stinknet_desert_plants.pdf

Conservation isn't about keeping the environment in a bubble but rather being stewards promoting the overall health of the ecosystem.

Depends. Doesn't seem much for a server but if you want to distribute an executable to your users then 90MB seems huge. IIRC a hello world Go binary is like 2MB.
I dunno. I haven't written a multiplexing I/O server. I haven't written a CGI forking process. I haven't written a reverse proxy handler. Heck, I haven't written C in years.

All sorts of reason why someone might want to write one of these. There's even a bunch of free tools to help test it (and who doesn't like free tests!).

> I view it as long-form autocomplete.

My wife sometimes views me as long-form autocomplete, and sometimes as a spell and grammar checker. Hell, my reply to your comment here is indistinguishable from a "long-form autocomplete".

Point being, that autocomplete has to work in some way. Our LLM autocompletes have been getting better and better at zero-shot completion to arbitrary long-form text, including arbitrary simulated conversations with a simulated human, without commensurate increase in complexity or resource utilization. This means they're getting better and better at compressing their training data - but in the limit, what is the difference between compression and understanding? I can't prove it formally, but I rather strongly believe they are, fundamentally, the same thing.

Also: if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, ducks like a duck, and is indistinguishable from a duck on any possible test you can think of or apply to it, then maybe your artificial faux-duck effectively turned into a real duck?

> Oh yeah, and who decides?

I think there’s a game theory where whatever people think others think is bad are shameworthy.

It doesn’t seem principle based and instead works backwards from disliking someone and the working backwards to find something wrong. That seems like a bad way to set moral standards and social norms. And sets us up for a constant second guessing of what to do or say, etc etc.

I think having a clear rule set (is legal? Is consenting? Then none of my business) is more productive. The last thing I want is people believing they need to perform some “nested evaluation” to determine if my missionary sex kink is appropriate or not.

An example that I encountered recently is that a friend was asking me to comment on other friends’ open marriage and tried a “would I permit that” reasoning to determine if it was appropriate. Asking simple questions like “is it legal” and “are all parties willing” is possible. But trying to have every person apply their own preference onto other people is a nightmare.
Like, what are the situations one would use this?
That seems like it would get really awkward fast. We'd probably have to give them full human rights (particularly if they successfully learned our language and demanded rights), but they might not be able to adapt to a homo sapien society. Also whoever funded their recreation wouldn't be able to keep them as property, but would probably try to.

It's good then that we now have another solution to tackle this like mentioned in OP, such as targeting reelin or APOE. And if anti-amyloids, or reducing amyloids are only a part solution. Hopefully, the findings keep continuing to cure Alzheimers.
> Attempting to shut down discussion by deliberately misunderstanding words or how they work is a sign of an inability to make productive valid points about reality.

Lumping a bunch of things together under a vague term to make it easier to vaguely complain about them is a sign of an inability to make productive valid points about reality.
For what it’s worth, this form of loss wouldn’t be possible under KRaft since they (ironically?) use Raft for the metadata and elections. Ain’t nobody starting a new cluster with Zookeeper these days.
> and the entire theory of disease is in question as well [2].

The entire theory of Alzheimer's is not resting on that research. Nobody believes in amyloids exclusively because of it.
> You're never going to be able to regulate what a person's computer can run.

You absolutely can. Maybe you can't effectively enforce that regulation but you can regulate and you can take measures that make violating the regulation impractical or risky for most people. By the way, the "crypto-wars" never ended and are ongoing all around the world (UK, EU, India, US...)
