As a counterpoint, I am absolutely horrible at writing Bash but I used ChatGPT to write a fairly complex (~50 lines, multiple functions) script in Bash that works just dandy. It wasn't perfect, and I made a couple adjustments, but it was 100x faster than what I could have done without it.

Turns into:

> Neither helps if the line that you're using drops mid-call, but there are ways to deal with that, if you have high speed available at a datacenter. For instance, I've set up routing of a small public subnet via tinc (https://www.tinc-vpn.org) over two routing machines, each with their own Internet connection, with CARP so that packets can go through either machine. This makes handing off from one to the other transparent so that connections don't need to be reestablished.

Can you explain more about the setup above? I don’t understand how tinc comes into play. What OS and physical configuration are you using?

That’s the exact opposite of what every military in the world has thought for the last 70 years. If you were China, you would not wait for the American military to dominate yours. If you were the US, you would know this, and not wait for them to launch their nukes at your silos.
GalliumOS is great but sadly it's no longer maintained. I think you can get most of the same benefits with a vanilla distro, but you have to be willing to do the tweaking yourself.

I installed Arch on a CB3-111 last week, and it seems to work fine. I will probably make it swap to zram, and see if I can install a better touchpad driver, but the other limitations aren't things I can fix, most importantly:

- only 4GB RAM

- no meta (windows) key, so I'm using alt as the meta key for i3

- function keys are labelled as media keys, so I have to remember which one is F1

But neither GalliumOS nor Arch are a practical solutions for schools today, unless there's an easy way to lock them down and have central management?
Same for me, Windows 2000 had the stability of Windows NT4, but with added support for USB stuff.

Godels incompleteness theorem and the Halting problem are very nearly equivalent. I believe Turing, very soon after hearing about Godels' incompleteness theorem, used it to show the non-existence of the Halting problem. The consequences of Godel's incompleteness theorem and the Halting problem wove into many outstanding problems, including Hilbert's 10th problem.

I would argue that computation is a much more natural setting for thinking about these ideas. Whether is recursively enumerable sets, Diophantine equations or set theory doesn't fundamentally matter so much, as they're all equivalent in some way. I wouldn't argue that you, or anyone else, shouldn't think of it in that way, but in my opinion, for many people, myself included, casting it through a computational lens makes more sense.

Not to harp on a small point but I would argue the diagonalization proof of the Halting problem relies on there being different orders of infinity, not that Z itself is infinite. Since Godel's incompleteness, we know that the continuum hypothesis can be true or false depending on which (consistent) axioms you choose, so I would argue that it's not so much which axioms we choose for how we think about infinities that's fundamental but the fact that consistent systems of sufficient complexity must be incomplete.

I'm firmly in the P!=NP camp but I commend you for putting your beliefs out there and actually doing the work. I do believe people throw up their hands when they hear "NP-Complete" when they absolutely shouldn't. The path from problems being "easy" (polynomial) to "hard" (exponential) is not very well understood and even if a problem is, in general, NP-Complete doesn't mean that a particular ensemble of problems being drawn from couldn't be solved by some clever polynomial time algorithm.

And of course, P ?= NP still remains an open problem so we still don't understand something pretty fundamental.

I keep hoping some of the laid off devs will fork the project and we can get back to a mostly volunteer model focused on just the browser. I'd much rather donate to something like that than the Mozilla foundation, at least as it currently stands.

Eh, from my experience in several large companies there's some malice, but there's way more incompetence.
Every time I post that story here someone quickly reads Wikipedia, doesn't think about what they just read and then immediately attempts an AI-quality refutation.

Yes Wikipedia claims that "Having found that recalculation showed that global warming was the more likely outcome, he published a retraction of his earlier findings in 1974". Yet there he is in 1976 - two years after this supposed retraction - telling the NY Times that there's an absolute scientific consensus on global cooling.

Wikipedia isn't reliable for anything climate related or on many other topics. Their citation for this claim of a retraction doesn't go to any retraction, but rather a book written by a Guardian journalist.

It's really depressing how systematic this problem is. I'd try to fix Wikipedia with a link to the 1976 interview but there's no point, it'd get reverted quickly for sure.

For the wider point here see my other comment. According to present day understanding not only the media but also scientists were massively misleading the public about the climate and what other scientists believed. So how do you know it's not still happening?

JavaScript has very similar semantics to scheme, and is just as hard to compile. V8 works well due to incredible engineering effort that draws upon scheme compiler research.

The biggest language difference I can think of is the guarantees about numeric types. JS can easily compile to native float or integer operations, when it's hard to do that in scheme.

What other scheme features do you have in mind that make it harder to compile? ( Maybe ignoring call/cc)
Yay npm packages
I think I heard about a new JavaScript framework that can help with that.

Spock says that the probe signifies aliens of great intelligence that somehow, are unaware of the signal's destructive nature and that he thinks it illogical that the probe's intention is hostile.

"...In the Bounty's lab, Spock discovers that it is in fact a whale song, specifically that of the humpback whale. McCoy at first wonders who would send a probe across the galaxy to speak to whales, but Kirk and Spock recognize that whales were on Earth ten million years before Humans. Humpback whales, Spock points out, have been extinct since the 21st century, and so it is possible an alien intelligence sent the probe to establish why they lost contact..."
It's embarrassing that some projects are templating yaml. It's a fully generic object serialization language that supports custom object types and you can build arbitrary DSLs in it. There should never be a need for templating it on the string level.

Yup, there was so much excitement around the free desktop as a promising future for computing. I miss it! And I always appreciated your contributions.

Now we all use unbelievably locked-down mobile devices, nobody even knows what files and folders are, and fewer kids than ever are able to learn about how computers work by messing around under the hood. Other amazing things are happening, but it's sad what gets lost.
Just... don't. Enjoy the profits when you get 'em. :)

This forum is filled with people who sold all sorts of tech stocks way too early (or too late), and people nerding out over things and tossing them and them magically gaining tons of value over time - I'm thinking about all of my super early CCGs that I tossed when cleaning house, the 20 bitcoin I mined for fun way back in 2012 or whenever and then deleted from my laptop (that I then sold on eBay for $100), the 10k of AAPL I bought for like $5 and sold for $10, etc. etc.

> how would they have performed if they tried to cheat but didn't find the poisoned answers?

I don't think this matters. Cheating was against the rules and a cheater demonstrates a failure to adhere to a social contract and voluntarily waives their right to be assessed the same with those who did follow the rules. At least there are avenues for a cheater to have another attempt, even if they have to move to another institution.

Ha, my Fiat Panda can top that. The gauges in the instrument clusters for speed and rpm, have concave shaped plexiglass windows on them[1], so when the light hits them at just the right angle, they turn into a parabolic mirror and focus the sun in single spot burning a hole into your eyes.

How the fuck did anyone think that putting parabolic mirrors facing the driver was a good idea? Shit like this should be illegal and worthy of a recall.

They're at P=0.93 right now. So they're very close.

Whereas, for women, P=0.0013.

Taking everything into consideration, that's exactly what I'd call "a high level of certainty that the effect for men doesn't equal the effect for women."

>It's like how people don't realize that the sum of 1 and 1 is 0. Many smart people will disagree but it is nonetheless a fact.

No, it isn't a fact. This assertion is a common internet troll trick that relies on misusing the "product property of square roots" [i.e. sqrt(xy) = sqrt(x)sqrt(y)], with the "trick" being that the "product property" is only applicable for x,y >= 0 and x,y ∈ ℝ, and therefore cannot be used to "prove" 1+1=0.

Why purposely mislead people who may take you at your word?
"Daniel Craig (left)" for a picture of an Apollo Saturn V rocket. Wired has gone through several site (and magazine) redesigns/WP upgrades since 2012.. looks like some corruption snuck in to the old stuff and no one noticed? Hopefully they can recover.
> But they teach you not to cheat because cheating is bad, on its own terms. The purpose of education is not just to teach facts, but also to teach young people how to be net-positive members of society. (This is why society subsidizes education.) Teaching not to cheat to get ahead falls within that part of the curriculum.

That is highly debatable. Cheating most often affects the cheater, if anything, because when they need a skill they pretended to have, they'll fail at real-life tasks. But nobody else is affected by cheating.
thanks too
Yes they do!

I manage a team of reporting analysts who have to maintain data feeds from our clients to brokers. They are from business and accounting backgrounds and use XSLT for it all. They don't need to worry about build steps or any of that junk, we just store the transforms in a database and they use IntelliJ to incrementally build out the files to the brokers specs, and we can display the transforms in a UI to other staff so they can know whats going on whenever there are questions.

Hundreds of reports, couldn't manage it all without XSLT.
Users are almost always right
Yes, Japan struck first - nobody’s arguing that. My point is that after the United States was formally at war with all of the Axis powers, every American citizen of Japanese descent was forced into prison camps and significant financial loss. That didn’t even happen to all of the German or Italian citizens in the United States at the time, much less American citizens with roots in those countries.

(Also, a few supply ships is whitewashing somewhat – hundreds of Americans traveling on civilian vessels were killed by the German navy and there were dozens of American flagged ships sunk prior to Pearl Harbor. No, not what the Japanese navy did but more than enough to have served as grounds for war if the US wasn’t trying so strenuously to stay out.)

One of the things I kinda miss from when I was a mid-level developer was writing advanced SQL stored procedures. The peak of my stored proc skills was rewriting a stored proc that took in about 16 parameters which were optional filters on a query... the original query was about 4000 lines of code that was effectively the query with all of the possible branches of the logic. The rewrite was maybe 25 lines with subqueries that had no filtering effect if a null or non-value was passed in. Not only was the result orders of magnitude more elegant and easier to grok but it was significantly faster as well. I really wish I had printed and framed that one because now I would have a hard time remembering (or even Googling) how to replicate the logic (that's what my mid-range developers and database devs are for these days).
We are thrilled to open source Embedditor.AI

Embedditor is the open-source MS Word equivalent for embeddings pre-processing, that helps you get the most out of your vector search, while saving up to 30% on embedding and storage costs.

This solution is inspired by the experiences of over 30,000 IngestAI users. Our insights revealed a common bottleneck in AI and LLM-related applications, one that goes beyond LLM hallucinations or token limits, which are far easier to resolve. The prevailing issue lies in the GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) principle.

With no one-size-fits-all approach to chunking and embedding, certain models excel with individual sentences, while others thrive on chunks of 250 to 500 tokens. Blindly splitting chunks by the quantity of characters or tokens, and embedding content without normalization and with up to 30% of redundant noise (such as punctuations, stop-words, and low-relevance frequent terms) often leads to suboptimal vector search results and low-performing LLM-related applications using semantic or generative search. The issue was consisting in trying to enhance vector search using existing technologies, which proved to be as challenging for our users, as creating an outstanding document using a basic .txt format.

We decided to address the root problem, so we developed Embedditor - the Microsoft Word equivalent for embedding pre-processing, enabling with no background in data science or technical skills to improve performance of their vector search capabilities while saving up to 40% on embedding and storage. We've made Embedditor open-source and accessible to all because we genuinely believe that by improving vector search performance and boosting cost-efficiency simultaneously, Embedditor may have significant impact on current NLP and LLM industry.

So the students are disallowed or discouraged from learning how to use tools like AI in the courses they take?
I had a similar reaction. I was surprised that this school's policy forbids looking at old exams. I checked my alma mater's policies and they do not. Students openly sought out copies of old exams from upperclassmen or from repositories kept by a few cliques/clubs. Some professors themselves provided a collection of old tests so everyone had easy & equal access.

I guess an important difference is going for engineering, it was trivial for professors to change numbers & details from year to year so old tests could aid study but not provide answers.

That's not really a proof that we can't get a nice thing, though. SAT is NP-complete, but here we are talking about it. There may be ways to use parallelism at a higher level. And even if there isn't an alternative to unit propagation, a purely constant factor speedup with parallel processors isn't out of bounds and would still be fantastic.
Good idea! There are some use cases at the bottom of the page, but I guess I need to make them more visible and more specific.

It's the more ambiguous ones I see that get people to argue about how PEDMAS is interpreted. Your example is unambiguously -4. But consider:

6 / 2 (1 + 2) = ?

I approach the problem the same as I would 6 / 2(x + y). When the multiplication is missing 2(x + y) is a single term. The implicit multiplication is part of the parenthesis and reduces the problem to 6 / 6. People who argue that you have to strictly use PEDMAS left-to-right will divide 6 / 2 first and get 9.

Neither way is wrong as long as you can explain the process but everyone wants to argue and have there be a single answer.
