The way to think about it is this: you can scan an entire book for the part you’re looking for (a huge context window), or you can look it up in the index in the back (a good retriever). The latter is a better approach when you’re serving production use cases. It’s faster and less expensive.
Interesting, as 1M USD isn't that much money when you're 35. Even with a house and car(s) paid off, that's not a lot of yearly income to cover health insurance and the other expenses. Maybe his wife covers the insurance aspect and has a job that provides living expenses?
I can't wait until this becomes a spec. I wrote a small middleware to cache sql and graphql queries and I implemented QUERY and Cache-Control. Worked great and saved a ton of bandwidth for developing and running reports, as I didn't have to worry about caching progress. I just reran the whole job. It was like <50 lines of python to pull it off.

I conceptually agree with you that a fool blames his tools.

However! If LLMs produced only lies no one would use them! Clearly truthiness is a desired property of an LLM the way sufficient hardness is of a bolt. Therefore, I maintain that an LLM can be wrong because truthiness is its primary function.

I don't know all the intricate details of how these things work, but my general impression is that the terminal should really not be able to see or modify data being sent over pipes. The shell can, but you wouldn't want it unconditionally scraping and "cleaning" what is usually an opaque binary stream (even if it contains mostly text). So you can make it an option, but wouldn't it be better if programs just provided a standard way to turn off color coding?

There are enough examples of what happens if you as a tech company don’t cooperate with intelligence that I don’t blame them. There is nothing you can do against people with guns, gag orders, and secret courts when they show up and tell you to do something.

Though yes, Microsoft is a particularly grossly sycophantic player - their strategy clearly is to be the IC’s best friends because it will get them IC contracts and probably help protect/benefit them in many other aspects.

You could use a custom interface with your own system prompt where you tell it to refuse to talk about certain topics.
Yes; as you assume, a compliant program disables color by default when NO_COLOR is set but a command line flag, etc, could turn it back on.

Yes. Saddam Hussein was one of the worst leaders in history and the neocons legitimately thought they could create a free market utopia in Iraq (lmao), check out Imperial Life in the Emerald City. They fucked up horribly and made Iraq worse because they were incompetent morons who fired the entire army and didn't bother to make sure people actually had basic services.

I read the page before commenting and it didn't address my point. That answer is about why it's not satisfactory to simply disable all color in the terminal. I'm talking about adding a color whitelist/blacklist feature to a terminal emulator.
This is why the RFC suggests you redirect to a GET like /resource/queryABCD

Your color choices might not align with the user's color scheme. Might be necessary to further process the output which means someone has to strip out the escape codes.
And Valve rewrote Half-Life almost from scratch when they finished it and realized that it sucked.

I have the privilege of living with two young indoor cats.

One of them found me when I was walking in a nearby semi-rural neighborhood. He was about five weeks old, sitting on a fence, scared and hungry, mewing for help.

It was around dusk, the time of day when the crows and ravens and owls and other predators start looking for tasty little snacks like him.

I brought him home, gave him a bath and got the fleas off him, then took him to the vet where they gave him medication for his ear mites and worms.

The other was rescued from a similar situation by someone who brought her to Pets In Need, our local no-kill shelter, where I adopted her.

They are very happy here. They have good friends (each other and me) to play with and sleep with, tasty food that they don't have to fight to the death, and no risk of being swept up by a hungry bird.

One time as I was walking in the door, a raven started making a loud ruckus outside. Both kitties had a panicked look. They remember what their life was like as wild animals. When they saw me they felt safe and happy again.
Could America’s Adderall shortage have harmed its productivity?
I think the sentiment here applies generally. The world would be a much kinder place if we embraced radical cooperation. Why wait for disaster to strike before we start working together? But humans are egotistical by nature. That goes not only for the individuals that defied mandates, but for the policy makers too.

I think it's hard to define the "greater good" and even harder to tell who represents it. If you want to have the kind of cooperation you're talking about, it first requires trust. The data confirms trust makes a difference when you compare vaccine uptake in countries like Japan vs. Russia.

There's certainly much to be fed up about, but we can at least derive some practical questions from this experience.

* What was the source of distrust during the pandemic? Was it legitimate or illegitimate?

* Have our institutions earned trust since then so we can do better next time around?
I think you’re understating what happened.

Several people were seriously injured in the January 6 incident/riot/insurrection. 138 police officers were officially injured in the line of duty on that day and they caused 2.7 million dollars in damages.

There are multiple death’s associated with the event though only the single death of a rioter by gunshot wound is a direct result of physical conflict. Still that’s far more than just some broken windows.
I don't think I want or need human-level cognition in my software. It turns out what I want is fancy autocomplete that you can few-shot teach to do all manner of useful NLP things, which is what LLMs are giving me today.
> Personally I think Elon is centrist, agreeing with some Right wing policies, and some left wing policies, but clearly has a personal bias which is reflected in the policy choices of twitter, too much so IMO.

"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"

No?

Well, if they did not do it before, because of "friendship", then they surely started doing it.

I actually do believe, there should be some restraint with hacking each and everyone because of "national security", because that can applied to everything. There should be a real reason, a actual threat.
Wouldn't insurance providers love getting 1 month of premiums with nearly 0 risk of any actual claims?
Shouldn't you rather use $TERM=dumb (or unknown) for this, since there are plenty of other escape sequences that you also wouldn't want?

The author has a use case (I believe their issue is that unlike $NO_COLOR, setting $TERM takes precedence over any configs or --color flags), though to me it seems like a rather niche problem. Anyways, if you support $TERM, it's easy to support $NO_COLOR as well, so there's not much of a reason to not follow the standard.
My claim was not that everything that hurts you must make you stronger, not weaker. I only made the much weaker claim that what fraction of things that hurt you make you weaker, not stronger, is highly variable from person to person. That does not imply that anyone would be made stronger by having each of their major bones broken--still less that doing so should be standard practice, just to see if it makes some people stronger. Having a major bone broken might not be in the set of things that makes anyone stronger by hurting them. There are lots of things that hurt besides having a major bone broken. Many of them do not do any physical damage to you at all.

NO_FOO variables seem to me like bad design: it makes it hard to override/explicity ask for FOO. In general, I think allowing a set of options like FOO=always,never,auto gives a lot more flexibility and extensibility.
> hundreds of feet beneath you and Highway 101.

Not US 101 — Interstate 280. Scott Parker on AARoads sez:

“There is one historic oddity regarding I-280: the bridges over SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center), on Stanford University land, were constructed between 1965 and 1967, some 4 years before the remaining construction on that segment of freeway commenced -- but in conjunction with the western extension of the accelerator (a long continuous structure that extends under the freeway). This advance construction was done as a joint project between the Division of Highways and Stanford in order to ensure that any vibrations emanating from the bridge structure would not affect SLAC operations and experiments. The bridge bents on either side of the accelerator building are double-isolated, with vibration-absorbing pads between the bridge beams and the vertical bents -- and the bents themselves are sitting in a "sheath" of sand and clays to dissipate any remaining vibrations that might be transmitted to the ground; the entire bridge structure therefore "floats" above the surrounding ground rather than terminating there. It is held in place by its own weight; connected to the remainder of the freeway by a series of short metal bars over which traffic passes (driving it, one feels a series of minor "bumps" at the connecting bars as well as a bit of a "dip" in the middle of the bridge itself -- a deliberately designed "sag" due to the irregular hillside that was carved out to accommodate the accelerator structure. The unusual design of this road-to-structure isolation interface was a condition imposed by Stanford University as part of the agreement to route I-280 through the back of campus property; there are seismometers installed in the ground underneath and adjacent to the bridge to measure the continuous effectiveness of the isolation measures; when particularly precise SLAC experiments are undertaken, I-280 has on rare occasion been closed for the duration of such an experiment. This is a one-of-a-kind accommodation by Caltrans and its predecessor agency made necessary by the nature of this particular atom-smashing device.”
> Civic Center and the Tenderloin should be condemned and razed

maybe the loin, but how does razing the Civic Center help? that area by itself is one of the nicest areas you can think of: a wide-open park-like place to walk around and enjoy the city. What would you even replace it with? and how would it help the problem of those people still around, who would shift to soma or elsewhere nearby.
I love my HDDs. I just invested in 90TB. That would have cost me a little more than two and a half times as much and be six times as many drives. I do not have the the sata ports or the power connectors for that.
> Snowden's leaks were an unambiguous act of conscience.

You clearly haven't read the leaks. If you had, you would have quickly realized that the vast majority of the leaked documents are totally unrelated to spying on citizens.

It's crystal clear to anyone who looks at the evidence itself that Snowden was not having a crisis of conscience, but was instead committing espionage.

Everything in the above comment is propaganda by someone who wants you to not look at the evidence because it would instantly discredit their position. If you want to know what Snowden actually did - go look at a random sampling of the documents, and tell us what you see.

I can understand this for e.g. cars. In case of minor damage the insurance isn't involved, leading to a significantly lower price with deductible.

Are there cases of minor damage to burning houses? If it burns it burns? The price with deductible would only be lower proportionally to the maximum possible damage.

It’s amazing we’re still finding serious perf issues in TCP stacks, some of the most battletested subsystems we have. It’s really a testament to how complicated flow control, congestion control etc is. There are so many little gotchas that can wreak havoc, especially in the face of shared resources.

Makes me worried about QUIC and how long it will take to build up the same level of rigor as TCP stacks, plus all the other fancy features. And who’s going to maintain std lib for every popular language? Heck many of them don’t even provide HTTP or recent TLS versions.

They’ve just started building a QUIC stack in Go (std) and the excellent community project quic-go is something like 8y in with 70kLOC (although mostly tests). And there are still important perf improvements missing.

Having TCP provided by the kernel is something I’ve come to appreciate more and more. Plus the kernel can divide up resources and schedule based on information that simply doesn’t exist in user-space.
I agree with all of that and would add that it could have all been avoided if they had not redirected the on-site national guard members to go hang out and eventually sleep for a month in a parking garage. The initial wave of 7000 troops would have been more than enough to keep everyone 500 feet from the building.
You could take away Europe's social safety net and wages would still be lower. There is no equivalent to Silicon Valley there which creates the competition that bids up salaries.
Part of being a functioning, emotionally mature adult is being able to self-regulate. It sounds like your partner relied on you for regulation, which is exhausting.

Sometimes we have to help other people co-regulate, especially young children. It's a useful skill - basically table stakes any time you're talking to someone having a hard time.

But if you're spending a significant amount of energy co-regulating a partner, check out YouTube videos related to codependency and speak to a therapist about the situation if you're able.
People love to assume that the CIA/NSA/etc are all powerful all knowing cabals running the entire world, while also believing that government is inherently incompetent.

Anybody who’s been in a large organization, even one that’s highly selective or difficult to join, knows that they’re as a rule chaotic, dysfunctional, and reactive with no coherent or coordinated planning. They’re also composed of individuals who usually run the gamut of moral and honest to deceitful and self serving - but the “sociopathic puppet master genius” is more of a fictional archetype than something that exists in reality.
> In the history of GUI applications does react represent the best we have managed to come up with

tl;dr, yes.

Ignore the DSL syntax of React (or SwiftUI or whatever), and understand that React's model is that UI is a function of state. In my experience, being able to declare how your application should look given it's current state (and just let the engine figure out how to get there) is a significantly more productive.

This works very well with React on the Web because the primitives there are pretty basic, and there's a well understood way to break out back down to the imperative DOM APIs. Others (SwiftUI, WinUI XAML from my experience) haven't quite seem to have gotten the mix right yet, so you have a harder time once you need to do more complicated things.

SwiftUI (like React Web) has some really neat benefits from this - views can be serialized down and rendered without your application running. This is how lock+home screen widgets, and watch complications work - the app is intermittently asked to provide snapshots at certain points in time, which the OS serializes and shows later. This is easily possible with SwiftUI because it fundamentally is data.
> leading to people having five-figure bills

Those people purposely signed contracts exposing them to the spot prices. They got exactly what they signed up for. Those people were few overall as well, by the way. Most people are on fixed contracts.
The price of chicken today at the local grocery store went up 20%. Half gallon of milk, 20%.

In one day.
The people who got absurd bills are the ones who explicitly opted in to paying the wholesale prices on the grid. In the good times that could mean paying very low (or even negative) prices[0]. But that was a gamble, and in the ice storm they lost hard.

Now perhaps retail customers shouldn't be allowed to be directly exposed to the wholesale grid prices for their own protection, but it's not like these were people buying a perfectly normal electric plan who then got wacked over the head with a $16k bill.

Look at the fact that they have taken Bakhmut. So maybe that is the limit of Russian ability or maybe if Ukraine can't stop them taking Bakhmut, there isn't a line where Ukraine can suddenly stop them.

Ukraine just lost 10% of its territory in 1 year, 25% of their population and their most economically prosperous region s [0] are now at risk of becoming a war zone. I don't like the prognosis for Ukraine if the Russian foreign policy takes a firm "no, we don't think they can exist as an independent country".

You might like the original book Solaris better. It has a unique atmosphere, isolation and mystery of the alien planet, and explores a different idea of alien life than we usually get in movies. This is hard to communicate in a movie, Tarkovsky did well, but it does not hold up as well as the book.

Neither they are. That's why they just want to get done with it while not burning any bridges, or possibly closing any doors. Whenever I see copy pasta/regular resignations messages which involves praise or good feelings I assume this person was unhappy there.
