There really is only so much you can do - especially once you've got refcount churn on objects being used across multiple threads. Swift's refcounting can get truly annoying at times.
I am completely convinced the future is local LLMs, privet, on your device. But then also fine tuned with your own data. All your documents, email, movements, browser history - maybe it even gets trained on your calls. Effectively an extension to your own brain.

I really don't want my AI assistant in the cloud, controlled by a corporation, reading and seeing everything I do. I would go as far as saying I want local AI more and open source AI.

Another comment said they want it to be an offline Wikipedia, we don't need that, we need it to know all our own stuff, that's what we work with every day.

chatGPT style is so close for what I've been trying to reach since a while ago, also I am so vulnerable to style and phrase stealing, I am seriously concerned that people will think that I am a robot.
At least on Unix and Windows file read and write methods work for sockets too, so streaming bytes isn't different.

What's there to love nowadays when it comes to software? I'm genuinely asking. What's there to love in making a company worth $2 trillion into becoming, what? A $3 trillion company? What's there to love in helping with making a tech dystopia more and more a reality each and every day? The dream of the '90s - early 2000s is well and truly dead, even in Portland.

Half of the problems of society are caused by this. Once you can attach a number to something, you can make a false equivalence and justify many ills. People often do this unknowingly or even worse, some intend it.

Finally some real scientist involved on ChatGPT topic will help you learn more about Ai and LLM.
In my opinion, Blindsight scratches the politically correct itches, and delivers little bottom line.

I just don't see what will go more wrong has China sent this mission packed with brighter alumnis of its best universities, tested for mental stability and stress tolerance, under command of General Secretary nephew.
Digital products' engineering mindset is reductive, alienating, irresponsible and divisive. It's time for an artful renaissance of digital design.
I think of it as:

When people didn't know what to do in the 90's, they went into e.g. advertising or banking. They just wanted a job, advertising was big, seems fun, let's do that. Now those kinds of people "get into tech because you can earn a lot". So you get people who focus more on what they can extract rather than the craft. They arrive, do a job, pretend to be value adders because it's good for bonuses, go home to do what they really want to do.

I guess that's ok, it takes all kinds and it's a big world. But the passionate, the people who love to create and love to refine and want to contribute and make a mark, those are my people. I think they're more likely to be there when you're in the first part of a company's life, before the extractors arrive. Right now I work with many of the builders and it's just wonderful.

I also think that as companies change, get more sluggish and require more paperwork, passion goes out the window and the organisational imperative drives the experience.

You know you can hold a stock forever without having to sell it? I have shares that I own from 17 years with absolutely no intention to sell, they pay me in dividends more in one year than I paid for them almost two decades ago.
Who mentioned macOS?!?

My original statement was,

> Android, ChromeOS, iOS and iPad OS have very little correlation to UNIX userspace, if any at all.

Those books show how iOS and iPad OS have very little UNIX across the whole stack, and how much was taken from OS X.
Who Is Going to Regulate AI?
Beej's guides are fantastic. He went to Chico State and I was happy to learn that his books were used for teaching network programming there when I attended.

Genuinely inspirational hacker. Feel's great to have had that experience at a state school.
Um, no. At most schools, the only place you might touch something as esoteric as Haskell is in a programming languages class.
Gmail is not free. You may not be paying for it with cash money, but you are paying for it with your privacy, and you’d better believe they profit from having your data.
In my experience, people staying in the field as developpers for 5~10 years have a genuine interest in the trade.

It might be different if they have some other personal/skill issue, but I've seen anyone doing a decent job for a few years get a path to either management, PM or something more "businessy", and in effect many PMs around me started as programmers. That's where I see the natural filtration of those who actualy saw it as a career and not just as a starting job (pay is usually not that different, or better when you go to a businessy path).

Now, that doesn't mean they (we) don't have a clock-in/clock-out mentality. E.g. I want to have multiple hobbies, and programming is only one of them. I deeply respect people who breath programming day-in day-out, but don't see it as an ideal or something to long for everyone. That's where I'm a bit sad it actively disappoints or drains your energy. I hope you'll find a happy place with people you enjoy working with !
Nice Product
For some reason, downloading the model they suggest keeps failing. I tried to download it in Firefox and Edge. I'm using Windows, if that matters. Anyone else seeing similar issues?
I mean it’s there by virtue of the shared cache, but if we’re talking about what actually gets “loaded” I believe it’s still possible to write binaries that don’t bring in libobjc.
Not if they're bad at it. ChatGPT and friends is a tool that's useful for some things and that's where it'll see adoption. Misuses if the technology will likely be exposed as such pretty quickly.
Wonder how long it will be until entire actors (voice, image, movement, etc) are commonly generated entirely?

Like (virtual) Japanese and Korean music idols, but for tv and movie actors.

The utility of LLM's is a very different question as the profitablity of LLM's.

That was something that was severely overlapping with crypto. Most people wanted to believe it's useful because it would mean $$$

LLM 's are here to stay, that's for sure.
I hear you and share the sentiment (for the most part). I don't understand what's with leetcode. Granted it's not the best for way to judge the capabilities of a programmer, but then what is? A design round can be gamed as much as an algorithmic round can be. At least with leetcode, people become aware of different ways of thinking. By different ways, I don't mean different algorithms. I mean, given a base set of capabilities (algos), how to use them effectively to solve a much more diverse set of problems. This kind of pattern almost always exists in my day to day job. The constraints are limited, and I need to figure out an effective way forward.
You've misunderstood how go routines work. You need to put the "go" keyword before the function call in order for it to be run concurrently.
And the AC87U got bitten today. Running out of memory until dnsmasq can't allocate anymore. Reboots help only temporary.
It seems like everyone in our company uses generative AI at the moment: marketing department coming up with ideas, designers creating illustrations, programmers writing code etc. I.e. there's a lot of useful real life application of generative AI right now, people actually use it for work. Crypto, for most part, in my opinion, did not provide as much value to the average person. And it's now possible to run LLMs locally, so you shouldn't be afraid of exit scams :)

Well, its UI predates Windows, by being based on Tk, so maybe that is your point?
Growing up my brother and I had to do many items of yard work using a wheelbarrow my father had taken from his father who had pulled it out of someone’s trash in 1939. Eventually my brother and I had real landscaping part-time jobs in high school and realized just how painful our wheelbarrow was and bought my dad a new one.

To be clear my grandfather was basically a farmhand from Bavaria with an 8th grade education who found himself in NYC in 1936 to marry his sweetheart and get the heck out of Germany.
yeah although medical does contribute, I bet the bulk of it is consumer debt. There are trillions and trillions made by industries pushing on people shit they can't afford. After you max out on iphones and other stupid shit, you either have to put up with snowballing interest (forget the principal) or declare bankruptcy. The latest innovation is bnpl where people buy food, groceries on credit :facepalm:

Please don't.

This is about people trying to use the wrong typing system "static typing" in a language that already has a better typing system "dynamic typing".

This is about bad programmers who have come from Java and want all other programming languages to look like Java.
As a young software engineer.. I had an insane amount of passion right until I got into the workforce.
As a kid hacking around was great and I thought that's what the job would be like. As soon as I entered the workforce it was pretty apparent that it's not about creativity, curiosity and being passionate and knowledgeable. It's about being agile and delivering quickly, quantity over quality, being good at talking, socializing and networking. And all the older people in the jobs I've worked with were definitely not passionate, they struggled along trying to do what they could to somewhat do the required tasks of the job.
I'm still passionate about it but now mostly on weekends when I can use the two days to work on my own side projects.
But i think an important point is also, we younger people have a pretty bleak outlook and seemingly uncertain future ahead. With covid lately and other challenges like AI and whatnot there may just be no time to be passionate because it is time spent worrying.
`sudo -k` is your friend ;-)

But for an attacker that convinced you to run some malicious shell commands (e.g. `curl ...| sh` or copy/pasting more than you bargained for) that's only a minor inconvenience; next time you sudo, they're root anyway.

//Edit

Also, an attacker aiming for root is a red herring. One compromised account can already be bad enough - why would they need root on your private computer when they already stole your password database, keylogged your master password and created an off-site backup of your home dir?
In the terminal, you can browse man pages and --help text of every CLI command...
Who on earth needs another tool to do it?
I think one would have to be mad to love many ordinary software jobs out there. Being a cog in the machine, with average salary, and a job to maintain boring legacy apps, now that really doesn't sound fun to me. It might be a decent job, but not something to love.
Oracle sued Google over the Android's implementation of Java's API. Kotlin still uses those APIs as it is compiled to Java bytecode on Android.
I would pay several hundred dollars a month to keep access to GPT-4, and never found any use at all for crypto. There might be hype, but there’s also an insane amount of utility

I see - for me and the folks I have worked with, that is what we meant i.e. it does its core competency very well and is "dumb" about business logic.
Your Wwrk should be a passion in your life, not the only passion.

People often assume that "work should be your passion" means that it should be the singular one.

It's my passion, but I still don't being work home, even if I work on related (if distantly) hobbies in my free time (and at work too sometimes)
What does n-p-m stand for?
GoDaddy is one example.
The study is paywalled but it looks like poverty is just correlated with death. The most likely explanation is that they have a common cause.

In studies that can differentiate between environmental and genetic causes, longevity has some genetic influence but no or very little influence from poverty. For example, from [1]:

> The heritability of longevity was estimated to be 0.26 for males
and 0.23 for females. [...] There is no evidence for an impact of shared (family) environment.

In this context, "shared family environment" encompasses everything in the environment that is shared between children in the same family, including income.

Another study [2] shows that longevity has substantial genetic cause:

> Half of the variation in susceptibility to mortality is genetic: findings from Swedish twin survival data

Note that these two studies only include childhood poverty. What about adult poverty? From [3]:

> While we find some evidence that permanent income shocks lead to poorer health behaviour, we find no evidence that it affects directly any health measures. Despite sizable shocks to income at the cohort level during our period of analysis, which can be empirically linked to changes in consumption expenditures, we fail to find any changes in (cohort) health, even if we allow those shocks to affect health with a lag.

Note that this is health, not mortality, but they're related. It suggests that the stronger underlying cause is, in the paper's terms, "underlying factors" such as genetics, innate ability, or childhood poverty. Childhood poverty we already know from behavior genetics is not causal.

There's other evidence out there along similar lines. If the new paper used a research design that could actually determine causality, or could at least rule out some ways in which a common cause would explain the data, it would be more interesting.

those things are anthropomorphic by design. there's no point in being cautious, unless it's from an ideological stand point

I don't work with it either. But I find that learning the abstraction below where you're working at can be quite beneficial to understanding the constraints of your layer, debug, and solve problems.

I agree. I understand there’s a diverse set of people in the world, with various degrees of interest and passion in their work. But I only much prefer to work with people who are intensely attracted to their work. It’s contagious. Passion breeds passion, and too much “balance” leads to people being ambivalent about work.
I got 64gb ram in my desktop for few hundred €. Laptops overprice RAM (as a price discriminator I guess).

But unlike Apple SoC, most GPUs have separate memory - getting a GPU with 24gb ram is very very expensive in comparison.

Definitely worth checking out ICPC problems if you like Leetcode. IPSC is another good one.
> I want to work with more people who LOVE software and find the development of machines and the code that runs on them as fascinating as I do. Unfortunately, its less and less these days.

While I like software I'm beginning to see it as a rather bad career. While you make more money early in the career, you stop doing so rather fast and other jobs catch up quite quickly and surpass you.

I guess there's always the exception company, etc. but as a non-US career, it can get taxing to see de-growth.

https://whoisnnamdi.com/never-enough-developers/ was a neat read along the same lines.
Given the biased nature of many if not most Wikipedia articles it would be certain that such a system would bend the truth to an unacceptable degree. Train the thing on more than just Wikipedia, e.g add Encyclopedia Britannica to the training set. This is the one area where "diversity" really matters: diversity of opinion. Using a single biased source as your oracle will turn you into a pawn for those who control the bias.
I genuinely enjoy writing code at work (the same way I enjoy doing crossword puzzles), but I literally never do it in my spare time. I already spend a greater number of waking hours in front of my computer than I do with my family (or playing music or mountain biking or…), so even though writing code at home isn’t on my list of priorities it doesn’t mean I lack of enthusiasm, it just means that itch is already being scratched.
"Work is work" is a perfectly fair conclusion. It works pretty well (so to speak) and you can live comfortably like that. Many people do.

On the other hand, there's something that eats at me all the time: the fact that a huge portion of my life is spent on work. If I had to choose between zoning out for 8 hours a day vs working towards something I care about for 10+ hours a day, I can't help but feel like the latter just sounds better. Maybe not easy to attain, but definitely better.
RTT to the US servers will be most of it, IMHO.
When a hobby becomes a job, it's now work. Do you really wanna do more work in your extremely limited leisure time?

Think esports pros, playing games used to be a break, but after working 8+ hours a day. It's no longer that relaxing fun activity.
Because C++ is not memory safe, lifetime safe, type safe, has notoriously brittle ABIs, ...?

Seriously if you're going to take the cost of rewriting massive amounts of code, why would you not rewrite it in a language that offers actual improvements to the language that's being rewritten?

Apple already has (and uses) objective-c++, and the majority of objc I've ever interacted with is objc++ once you're outside of headers (just look for .mm extensions).
But none of that is random.

Eg. NYC (population estimate 8.3M) had 273 fatalities in 2021 (easy to find full year numbers for): https://www.triallaw1.com/data-shows-2021-was-the-deadliest-...

USA (population estimate 335M) had 42,915 (estimated) according to https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/early-estimate-2021-tra...

USA-wide rate is 1 in 7,800 people dying in traffic accidents yearly, whereas NYC has a rate of 1 in 30,000. I am sure it's even lower for subway riders vs drivers. Even drivers, somebody doing 4k miles a year has different chances than somebody doing 40k. People usually adapt their driving style after having kids which also reduces the chances of them being in a collision.

Basically, your life choices and circumstances influence your chances of dying in a traffic accident.

At the extreme, you can go live on a mountaintop, produce your own food and not have to get in contact with a vehicle at all (and some cultures even do).

FWIW, I responded to a rethorical question about killings being random: they are not random today, even if there is a random element to them!

If you want to sign up to a completely random and expected chance of death that you can't influence at all, good luck! I don't.
The phenomenon is mostly the same though: something I’ve enjoyed for a long time doesn’t have the same prominence in my life anymore because of other things I’ve taken an interest in.
Since when is C the most performant? One can’t even write a performant generic vector with it.

C++ is the de facto language used for hight performance.
You’re looking at it wrong. Some people really love flying planes. Some pilots clock off and go straight home to not think about their jobs until they’re back. If you want to work with people like that, look at the programming equivalent of your local airshow, not SFO.
Within a few minutes you can sign up to OpenAI and see the potential of ChatGPT immediately, in you own hands. The potential of crypto/web3 was always an abstract idea (jumped on by so many scammers), there was nothing you could actually use to see the utility.
Thank you for this story!

It remind me of my first professional experience: the ship was sinking, it was hard, but I never ever again learned so much.
Sometimes I'm nostalgic if the intensity I lived in, but I think I'm too old for this.
The thing about transformer models that are impressive is that they compress all sorts of stuff about human understanding down into a incredibly tiny space. They asked GPT-4 to explain GPT-2 and it found things like "something done right" or "metaphors" corresponded to neurons. It's this meta understanding of thought, just like diffusion models are this meta understanding of art. The real innovation is one can turn a crank and it keeps getting deeper and more subtle insights into the whole thing. If you turn that crank with A100s for a few days it gets very deep and doesn't hit a wall. In the earlier days of machine learning that didn't used to happen. Understanding was bounded at some point and didn't increase, but it seems transformers just keep going.
Then again (google translate works just fine if needed).

I try to not be pedantic about plot holes but i’ve felt there were so many ilogical and unexplained decisions. Author just moves on and does not care that it was very distracting.

I liked some of the ideas although i think you can find books that dig into similar ones a bit deeper.

What also doesnt help is that this seems to be the book that people that dont read sci-fi (because its for kids) all read and they love it. I got so many raving reviews from people telling me if scifi was like this they would read sci-fi… annoying as hell.
