the core of aws is actually pretty good. it’s just wrapped in several layers of nutshells which aren’t needed except by the equally thick enterprise.

aws is also inescapably imperative. it’s how the api and everything behind the scenes work.

aws is gonna have a lot of nonsense best practices, both 1st and 3rd party, that you have to aggressively ignore.

if you can come to peace with these three truths, aws is great. i use it like this:

for those trying to improve, the best aws docs are currently the go sdk and gopls.
Not giving a direct answer to a question isn’t the same as avoiding it; it’s asked disingenuously, so the actual answer doesn’t matter.

Just like your follow up question, which is similarly irrelevant, since changing behaviours to save lives isn’t at all the same as trading lives.
Guessing we'll see this excuse a lot more: Get caught making stuff up, blame ChatGPT.

The US has 70 times the population of New Zealand, an underclass that's larger in percentage terms and less functional than New Zealand's, a porous border through which literally millions of people pass illegally-outside of the government's control, and tens of millions of illegal residents who have illegal or no ID and studiously avoid being tracked by the government. New Zealand is an island country with only a handful of international airports. There was no possible way that the US could ever have implemented New Zealand's policy successfully, even if Americans wanted to do so.
Most of my medical issues I caught were do to me being proactive. Even HMO is very lax in actually taking care of people.
Too late to edit, but I should qualify this:

They claim 4000 tons per year, I did the math on 4000 tons per day.
So ~3-4 acres of PV to power, not 1000 acres.

To completely counteract the 37 billion tons per year produced worldwide, and do it with PV only, assuming desert southwest conditions, would require ~30 million acres of PV. That sounds impossibly high, but is only about the size of the US state of Mississippi. 20% of the land area of Texas, on the El Paso side, would be sufficient to keep pace with the entire world's carbon dioxide emissions.

I remain skeptical that this is the most cost-effective approach, as well as skeptical of its ability to scale, but I apologize for crapping on it at first gloss.
Respect for this much customer care. I don't think an car company would do this.
Which is actually a very good analogy. A lot of things can kill you, but only a human can be a murderer.
The example of asking it things like counting or sequences isn't a great one because it's been solved by asking it to "translate" to code and then run the code. I took this up as a challenge a while back with a similar line of reasoning on Reddit (that it couldn't do such a thing) and ended up implementing it in my AI web shell thing.

Supported in what sense? I meant that you could pay Ubuntu for support beyond it being pre-baked into the distro, which seems rare if not exclusive to Ubuntu.
I raised a child during the pandemic, during the lockdowns. His grandparents missed out on most of the first year of his life because of travel restrictions. They lived just across town.

What lesson did I learn from this?

I learned that toddlers will throw an epic hissy fit if they don't get what they want, even if what they want is impossible, impractical, or goes against either their own personal interest or the interests of their family. They'll insist on doing things that have a very decent chance of killing them on the spot.

"I want it!" followed by 120 decibel screeching is the behaviour of a toddler.

We're teaching him better, of course. We're teaching about sharing. About saying sorry. Telling him when to say "thank you" and "please". I'm also teaching him not to poke metal utensils into power sockets or to sneeze in my face.

Apparently not all parents bothered with this. Their children grew up to be big children, unable the grasp these simple concepts despite having adult bodies.

Yes, the speed limit on the highway is inconvenient for you if you're late for a meeting. No, nobody cares about you and your stupid appointment, we care about the family of four you might kill for your own convenience if we let you drive as fast as you possibly can.

This is the crux of it. Some people think being allowed to drive as fast as they can is freedom, and any curtailment of that freedom is oppression.

What's truly sad about all of this is not the political polarisation over the type of health policy that goes back centuries[1]. No, it's that Katalin Karikó, the woman who spent here entire life toiling away in obscurity, never got a proper "Thank you!" from the world that she saved.

She should be more famous than Beyoncé and richer than Bill Gates, and instead she's a little-known scientist with a few pats on the back from jealous colleagues mumbling "I could have invented that" under their breath.

[1] Go look up how old the word "quarantine" is and where it originated from.
The source might have other incentives.

But I agree with the sentiment. I think CO2 offsets could be more effective if done through a fund that funds specific de-carbonisation projects for our industries. For example, they could fund a transition from coal power plants to renewable power plants for power companies, so long as the power companies agree to not increase their carbon emissions and decommission their coal power plants in the process.

Or even a fund that simply subsidizes carbon filters for sources of pollution. Or a lobbying fund that's actually for the good of humanity, not for greed.

There are many creative solutions that could offset a ton of CO2 emissions cheaper. But not the carbon-offset grift we have now. Instead, actual programs with actual reports, auditing, and accountability. If such a fund claims they've recaptured one tonne of CO2, I would expect that there is at least 273kg-heavy pile of carbon or, more realistically, some kilograms of some carbonated substance somewhere.
>Gibson said the phones are a security backstop in the case of an emergency that "takes out communications" in part of America.

Ummm, what about the rest of us? Large scale emergency preparations in the USA fell to the wayside long ago. Maybe the new satellite messaging features just starting to roll out would help, although I doubt they have been tested at scale with tens of millions of people trying to use them at the same time.
The point is they would need less wealth if they also weren't spending the second half of your life saving up for a house...
And you can still give them the money

Still makes no sense to me
Such a great comment. The nice thing about this is that if search was a key part of your product pre-LLM, you likely already have something useful in place that requires very little adaptation.
One of my classmates in elementary school lived close to a closed factory. The backyard with lot of scrap was a wonderful adventurous playground. The city train station was further down the street and the trains passed just behind the fence furthest in the back.
When someone heard a train approaching he would yell "Train's coming!". Whatever play would cease immediately and we all ran to pick up one of our poops on a stick and line up at the fence. Great was the joy when one of us hit a window.
If you go off grid but still have a grid connection that you can use any time you want, you should still pay in. All the transition equipment is still needed.

Full off grid should probably not have to pay anything. But if something breaks you are on your own.
Is CDT developed enough that one can calculate black hole entropy? I'm guessing not yet, but wouldn't mind being corrected...
We can infer.
We realistically won’t see a good retrospective until the political leaders in 2020 have exited the political scene. Until then reactions to Covid stuff will just be a culture war reflex response of self-preservation.
The cache is local to the proxy or web server, it doesn't matter what the hashing algorithm is as long as the cache accurately returns cached results given the same inputs. The semantic meaning of "input" is different for if it's a proxy or if it's the origin. The origin web server could very well cache based on the result of post processing and validation of the input, while a proxy should cache based on a much more strict (exact series of bytes) interpretation of the input.

This is no different than how any other caching proxy is expected to operate given a set of inputs. It's never been up to the proxy to interpret if the queries "name=joe%20user" and "first=joe&last=user" are the same, it just passes the input along to its upstream and then locally stores the result, assuming that the same input will occur again and save a trip to upstream.
The remedy here seems to be expecting lawyers to do their jobs. Citations would be nice but I don’t see a reason to legislate that requirement, especially from the bench. Let the market sort this one out. Discipline the lawyers using existing mechanisms.
Yeah he should've martyred himself when those who actually ran these programs got away with it completely. And it's amazing that you attack Russia for being what it is, an authoritarian country ran by its intelligence agencies... While using the exact same rhetoric that is always used to justify authoritarianism. Actually, you might very well be surprised by how much you'd agree with the Russian government if we go by your last sentence.

I hope you realize that all of this was justified because of the war on terror. It had nothing to do with Russia. They weren't going against a super power (which you could at least argue might justify the means), they were trying to find boogeyman terrorists that may or may not have existed in the US. If as you said they did their damn job, they wouldn't need to cast such a wide net like they did with their surveillance. And we would also have had more example of said surveillance actually saving lifes or leading to results.

What we do have instead is countless example of suspects being listed as at risk but nothing being done since the lists are so huge and impossible to act upon. it's not even a form of survivorship biais either; authorities are very very happy to announce that they thwarted some terrorist plot before it happened. Its just that it happens very rarely.
She owns three residences. Bill Gates, one home is almost the size of a Walmart. It's time to confront the "leaders" of climate crisis on this as being also a crisi. Leaders don't live a lifestyle that is counter to their advocacy.
It's really since the Reagan years that it shot through the roof. Look at the data
If you calculate the number of permutations (order matters), you will double-count a lot of combinations (order does not matter) with the same elements that only differ by the order of the elements. How many times does that happen? That depends on the number of elements, r. So in how many ways can these elements be arranged? r! To undo this double-counting, you divide nPr by r!.

I feel the situation is much clearer if you actually write nCr and nPr out.

Edit: the Wikipedia articles on combination and permutation are also helpful.
> Policies are generally not that clean cut and clear.

Policy clearness is a legislative choice. If someone tries to mail a bomb to the White House the policies are very unambiguous about what happens next.

> Many progressives already fight against policies that would increase housing (like adding overly burdensome restrictions to the development process)

Liberals maybe, not progressives.
Would that require CIPP/G to be able to participate at the state, muni or fed level?
Go ahead and post a study that says we saved tens of millions.

Not one intervention has been shown to reduce mortality by 50% across the general population — you’re making facts up to deny the harms caused.
Probably nowhere to export to because other countries don't need the energy either. Electricity prices flipped deep into the negative in Germany as well because there is just so much renewable energy during these sunny days: https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/price_spot_market/char...
I think this may be the best thing I've read about real-world prompt engineering - there's SO MUCH hard earned knowledge in here.

The description of how they're handling the threat of prompt injection was particularly smart.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Not being able to deploy to the most powerful devices is a real constraint of actually using the API
OpenAI or any other company becomes liable when they market a product to be used in place of lawyers (or doctors, engineers, or whatever other profession)

as long as we're hiring professionals to do these jobs, part of that real actual human's job is to accept the liability for their work. if a person want to use a tool to make their job easier, it's also their job to make sure that the tool is working properly. if the human isn't capable of doing that, then the human doesn't need to be involved in this process at all - we can just turn the legal system over to the LLMs. but for me, i'd prefer the humans were still responsible.

in this case, "the experimenter" was the lawyer who chose to use ChatGPT for his work, not OpenAI for making the tool available. and yes, i agree, the experimenter should be held accountable.
At the same time, the inventiveness of AI sometimes gives quite a few fruitful ideas for a solution. Yes, formally this can be classified as AI hallucinations, but sometimes they are so bright and well-aimed that I get goosebumps.

My favorite one is phind.com - it gave me so many slightly hallucinating but nevertheless useful advices. And I was able to incorporate most of them into my professional work.

The whole situation reminds me of a good friend of mine - he's super talented at inventing things and brainstorming, but he can often be caught misrepresenting the facts, and sometimes outright lying. However, the pros easily outweigh the cons if you know who you're working with.
Yeah if there indeed is some kind of theoretical reason that makes NP-complete problems hard to parallelize, that would be interesting to know about and understand. Maybe somebody has studied this problem.

I think that unlike the story with neural nets, there wasn't some faction trying to say that parallelizing SAT is a bad idea. In fact the state-of-the-art sequential solvers use techniques to exploit properties of CPU caches to get their speedup breakthrough; that in itself was an important lesson within the research community to pay close attention to hardware capabilities. My impression is that ever since that success within their discipline, SAT specialists became interested not just in algorithms/formal theory but also hardware and implementation, and in today's case that would include having a close look at GPUs/TPUs for the possibility of new algorithms.
imo "pets" shouldn't even exist, same with zoos and similar, we should just try to look at wild animals outside, learn to approach and communicate with them. In captivity we can have plants, that's fine
Me & my family had covid at least 6 times, possibly 7-8. It happens when you have small kids in kindergarten who yet don't grok concepts of sanitation. Very anecdotal, but no observed immunity impact. What I do, eat, train/workout, sleep, expose ie to cold etc. has much higher impact on immunity. Sure as hell hope that's also valid long term.
Or people care, but they don't care in the direction that GP wants. I want US spy agencies to spy on non-American living outside the US who have information that affects national security without being slowed down by too many procedures. I don't want them to spy on Americans, but the government actively works to prevent the agencies from doing this, so it's working as intended.
That happened in NorCal in 2019. There were no generators to be had south of Chico, CA that summer. Had to go halfway to Redding to a random Home Depot that didn't have a large customer base. When you need a generator because PG&E decided to have a PSPS for a week or 2 without warning, then you need it immediately. It's not a panic purchase when it's an emergency purchase of inelastic necessity, not hoarding of 4000 rolls of toilet paper.

Gasoline generators are a PITA. Most of them require frequent oil changes. And floating neutral generators generally won't work well with GFI circuits because they easily see an imbalance in current across neutral and to the ground path. If you want your generator to be safe and work with GFI, you'll have to use a bonded one and ground it.

Most residential solar sets in California lack battery backup capacity and do not generate power in the absence of grid power "for safety". This is because most homeowners are uninformed consumers and don't know what options they need. It's worth getting a subpanel, moving critical loads to them, and having a 3-way ATS with solar-batteries-inverter, grid tie, and an autostart natural gas generator.
Of course it’s not. Neither of my children’s faces have ever appeared on social media. It just requires a little discipline on the parents part, which seems to be in short supply these days.
I have a vaguely related question about Signal. People say it’s secure and encrypted but it was widely publicised that Sam Bankman Fried’s Signal messages were inspected by authorities. How did this happen?
That's hard to believe when Clapper literally perjured himself before his oversight and faced no consequences.
It's not whataboutism. You implied that the deep red states have less severe social problems, which is incredibly false.
I can sneak it into a few scripts here and there at work, and I can write my side projects in it, but there's only so much I can do.

Ingenuity – Hide an Seek
I see this argument a lot but I don't understand it. Are you suggesting the dead people would have been grateful for the policies that didn't stop them from dying? Or are you suggesting the policies didn't go far enough, and if the dead people could complain, then we'd be convinced to implement even stricter policies next time?

I think the argument would be more convincing if there were a group of people who are still alive that could say they would have been dead without the policies. Obviously this is impossible for anyone to say with certainty, but given that it's the corollary of the "if dead people could talk" argument, perhaps that indicates that both arguments are unfalsifiable and thus ineffective.
Okay, but if you’re driving recklessly and cause a car crash which kills someone, I don’t say they died “naturally”.

There’s a reason the US banned that variety of gain of function — and a reason why people are outraged Fauci and EcoHealth Alliance sponsored it in China to circumvent that.
If anyone is reading this, please don't exercise very hard when you're recovering from COVID. I went on two bike rides two weeks after I got my negative test. I was so eager to get out of the house and back on my goal of 3,000 miles for the year. And that's when all my symptoms like tremors, brain fog, and memory issues started. There were also a few times I struggled to understand people. There are many similar anecdotes out there of formerly athletic people trying to get back to training too soon, and that's when their long COVID symptoms started. So, if you're reading this, please give yourself at least a month of slow movement and don't jump back into vigorous activities right away.
> If there are a billion people who load 40 pages and each saves 2ms, we save 2.5 human years a day.

That's as idiotic as saying "If a billion people take one less breath a day, humanity will consume 500,000,000,000 ml less air a day."

It doesn't mean anything.

Speaking from memory and coarse grained understanding,

1) MLC/TLC/QLC work more like 4/8/16-tone grayscale e-paper than flash: e.g. 0x10 = (1,0,1,0), that’s “4 level/bits per cell”. And it’s not a single pulse of 0x10 voltage into a memory cell, more like repetitive pulses from 0b1111 to enough millivolts below 0b1011. Readout is probably more complicated, let alone lifecycle management. Those businesses might be more involved than it’s worth filesystem researchers time.

2) It was often said, at least years ago, that the considerable fraction of heat in NVMe SSDs comes from PCIe serialization/deserialization(SerDes), rather than payload data processing or NAND programming.

If both of above are true, maybe it’s PCIe that should be replaced, with something more like the original PCI?
It is designed to give the illusion that it reasons the way a human does, which is why many people are using it. To blame the average user--who quite obviously doesn't understand how LLMs work--isn't fair, either.

A lawyer, however, should have vetted a new piece of tech before using it in this way.
Yes, and this points to the real problem that permeates through a lot of our technology.

Computers are dealing with a reflection of reality, not reality itself.

As you say AI has no understanding that double-check has an action that needs to take place, it just knows that the words exist.

Another big and obvious place this problem is showing up is Identity Management.

The computers are only seeing a reflection, the information associated with our identity, not the physical reality of the identity (and that's why we cannot secure ourselves much further than passwords, MFA is really just "more information that we make harder to emulate, but is still just bits and bytes to the computer, the origin is impossible for it to ascertain).

Also see XuanTie C910, open-source yet competitive with Cortex-A73, been available for years.

Meanwhile, Eben Upton has been falsely claiming that no such cores are available for licensing.

A Raspberry Pi 5 could already be out with RISC-V and higher specs than pi4/pi400 if he hadn't ignored C910 or otherwise licensed any of the many competitive cores in the market that have been license-able for years now.
Baby's first cryptographic analysis, sure. Mapping letters to bits is easy, and the 8 bit repeating pattern is also easy.

The thing that might make it hard is if people have forgotten English itself, and in that case ASCII is one of the smallest barriers.

EBCDIC would also be fine.
I am curious if an architect or an engineer did this for a design and submitted this, would we extend to them the same "reasonable" explanation and excuse, especially if someone's life was put on the line.

Interestingly, it's exactly the same in court! People's lives are put on the line all the time, and lawyers also sometimes flat out lie. This just further indicts the current legal system because it doesn't really "work" but it's just that the mistakes are often covered-up enough until most people forget about them and move on to something else.
>"So the main advantage here would be to be able to consume your Zig code/libraries with your Swift application"

I've heard that BS from MS reps when they visited our company sometime in 90s. They were telling us how we should have monkeys drawing forms in VB and gurus making main code in C/C++. Then I showed them Delphi. You had to see how sour their faces turned.

>"You'll never be able to write that kind of code with Zig, or C or C++"

Your statement looks totally wrong. Looking at code seems like simple "fluent" notation that is quite possible in languages you mentioned.
