My guess is that the model does work, but that verifying that it works is just way too expensive for a tiny benefit. Especially if the model is constantly evolving.

You're missing the point. South Korea would be well within their rights under international law to shoot down the North Korean rocket that is launching the satellite with no repercussions from the international community. I doubt they will because it would probably start WW3, however they have said they may.
Words and actions speak louder [1] -

"Three days later, four of the experts who attended that meeting drafted a research document, which was forwarded to Fauci upon completion for editing and approval. The paper, later published in Nature Medicine, argued that Covid had “mutations” that supported the explanation that it had been transmitted to humans from animals.

One of the four authors, Dr. Kristin Andersen, admits in a cover email sent to Nature that Fauci “prompted” the paper’s drafting in order to “disprove” the lab-leak theory."

"In April, 2020, Fauci addressed reporters at a White House press conference alongside former president Trump, pointing to the paper as justification for his belief that the lab-leak theory was a far-fetched conspiracy. Fauci did not acknowledge his own role in commissioning the paper and feigned ignorance as to the identities of its authors...

“There was a study recently where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences … in bats as they evolve and the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human,” Fauci said at the time.

“So, the paper will be available. I don’t have the authors right now, but we can make it available to you,” he said. Fauci told National Geographic a month later that Covid “could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated.”

I thought async/await creates a state machine in the background. If so, there should be a runtime cost.

State machines to deal with interrupts (to name the most basic kind of async event) is the ABC of embedded "bare metal" programming.

Whether async/await is cleaner, easier, readable, etc. is a matter of taste.
So the idea is that the risk is so great we need to regulate software and math and GPUs– but not so great that you need to stop working on it? These companies would be much more credible (that this wasn't just a totally transparent ploy to close the market) if they at least put their money where their mouth is and stopped working on AI.

It's possible to brute force it in 2 seconds too. In fact just as likely to do that as it is to find the key in the last 2 seconds of a full search.

Purely functional data structures are very common in purely functional languages like Haskell but are also used in non functional languages via libraries like immutable.js.

At a high level, immutability forces you to be extremely deliberate about state changes in your application. This improves reasoning/understanding, reduces bugs, and eases debugging.

An example of immutability that you might be familiar with would be react props/state. You don’t modify your state. This makes reasoning about state much more simple.
Why would you assume that? "Professional musician" covers an incredibly wide range of experiences but large swathes of that easily fall into solo entrepreneur. Even among professionals very very few musicians are practicing or performing for the majority of their working time.
I don’t think that’s going to be enough. How do you verify that it’s them who is responding, or that they are not being coerced? (before anyone comments, yes I know I’m taking this to the extreme, but if we handle the extreme cases we handle the easier ones too)
Have you tried filing an issue, or opening a PR? It's open source after all.
Some skepticism is healthy, but I think you have a misconception about what an LLM is. Neural networks use machine learning to automagically find connections between data. Handwriting recognition is an example of this, as it's trivial to build a model that can recognize the differences between characters/digits, whereas writing an algorithm to do that effectively would be very difficult. You can train a model on sample data, and it will "learn" the patterns that make up a '7', 'G', 'O', etc with the same or better accuracy than a person.

Language models are more or less the same thing, except they're trained on human language. Since human language is an encoding of human thought processes, then the model learns the patterns of human thought which are embedded in text, and can both generate and recognize them.

This is why LLMs can "understand" and answer complicated questions that don't exist in their training set, and do things like debug code. Even though it never saw that exact question, it recognizes the high level/abstract concepts that make up the question (since those abstract concepts exist in various different forms in the training set).

So giving an LLM a textual description of an algorithm, and having it detect logical errors in it, is not that unbelievable. Whether current models are good enough to do it well is the question to ask.
Define racism?
Imo the typical “women in tech” issues only really applies to US (and maybe some other typical western countries). It’s really different elsewhere, case in point in Afghanistan.

Hope that the small things we’re doing at GitStart can break down the barriers of language, merit, class, culture, and political situation and let anyone who wants to learn coding can learn, and those who want to make money from it can!
Oh it’s possible and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with saying it’s possible without “proof” given that’s how all hypothesis starts. That said, the risk may exist but isn’t manifest yet, so being positive (as opposed to the scientific method which seeks to negate a truth of something) is just holding out hope.
The FBI is the generalist of them, the rest are nominally more specialized to their particular parent department's purview. Inefficiency by just having a separate department for every federal crime is a silly way to try to go about limiting overreach when we haven't even really tried proper oversight and enforcement.

No, chargebacks exist even when you have all of your agency and you paid willingly.

If you order something that then arrives broken and the company refuses a return, you can do a chargeback.

Type checking in Swift is notoriously slow and picky. Things have improved over the years (considerably!), but the odd complicated generics usecase will either take a minute extra to compile, or throw a Segfault.

TSMC is at risk due to geopolitical tensions, particularly between China and the USA. These risks led to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway selling its stake in TSMC. Investors are worried about that. That s my best guess. Apple also opened three factories in India and other places to mitigate this risk.

The challenge is that these are all terribly inconvenient solutions. For ex. what do you do if your flight is delayed and you're stuck in the terminal for an additional few hours?

In effect, we are trying to solve a problem with technology that could be better solved with laws limiting powers and adding oversight.
Good question. As a comparison we have been piling up dirt significantly longer than VR has been around and yet the physics of granular materials is still actively researched.
Perfect Forward Security just requires them to crack the key exchange they stored for each session instead of the static keys. I guess that's somewhat harder, but not that much.
This is my solution for Reddit and HN - which are my "problem" sites as well.

Like just now reading this thread anonymously on my phone and then at a later time, after some more contemplation, going to my computer and writing this comment. That break does three things. First, I get to think about why I am commenting. Second, if I decide that I do still want to comment, I've had some "offline" time to think about it. Third, by the time I am back on my computer I may have just forgot about it, or find that someone had already made the same comment as I had intended.

Only about 1/5 of the time will I comment on something that - after reading on my phone - I had felt compelled to comment on.

Reddit I never look at on my phone. I came late to Reddit - maybe a year ago. But I'm now a Reddit junky and probably spend an hour a day on it. Reddit does make it easier to avoid using on one's phone. For one, they aggressively push their app and I don't install apps. Second, they don't let you look at any content they deem "sensitive" without logging in. The result is that I will only use Reddit on my computer and that for me greatly limits my time spend there as I don't view my computer as an entertainment device.
I think the point is that these data structures can be the foundation of a pure-functional style of programming.

You wouldn't drop these into an ecosystem where the programmers are used to dealing with mutable structures.

Now, whether using a purely functional language correlates with writing less bugs is a separate discussion, not sure what the modern consensus is.

States have their own FBI-alikes and they're not much better when it comes to privacy they just have fewer tools but mostly because they're not getting that much in the way of work that would need it. If they get delegated responsibility they're not going to turn out much better than the FBI.

There doesn't seem to be any benefit to solving this problem, so how is it an overreaction given the negative press?
_Immutable_ data structures (not 100% the same thing, but a lot of overlap) avoid all kinds of concurrency problems, because you can safely pass them around and you'll never get a data race. You don't even need any locking (just to make things complicated, _lock-free_ data structures are another closely related but not identical concept).

Once you're running a distributed system, this kind of stuff comes into its own.

> The high cost of housing is unrelated to automation

Housing, health care, higher education... all drastically more expensive.

The point about outsourcing is a good one.

However, automation still appears to drive income inequality (at least in the US.)

> should be discouraged. If you need to read in 1M integers, put them in a file and read them in.

This is exactly the attitude that needs to be addressed. It's hostile to argue with users who are doing something completely legal and tell them they shouldn't do that, they should do it another way, that that behavior needs to be discouraged, etc.

We went through this all the time with V8, trying to tell JS developers they just shouldn't do that because V8 had couldn't run that code fast. Or worse, that it had a particular pathology that made certain code absurdly slow. It just doesn't fly. It's V8's job to not go off the rails for user inputs; it should provide good default performance all the time, not get stuck in deopt loops, use absurd amounts of memory, etc. Yeah, and that's hard work.
Yes, in 2017 bitcoin block limit was replaced with a larger weight limit, but "discounted price" is nonsense: fees aren't priced by the protocol. Each block has a limit of 4 million, each transaction uses some amount of the limit and offers some fee. Income maximizing behavior by miners is to fill the block up with as much fees as they can fit within the limit which (if you ignore transaction dependencies and end packing) is accomplished by dividing fees by capacity usage and sorting. Taproot didn't change anything with respect to that, which you can easily verify for yourself by grabbing a copy of Bitcoin from (say) 2019 and observing that it accepts the same transactions. I'm quite confused as to why anyone is bringing up taproot other than that it was the most recent consensus change, but it didn't and couldn't have added any means to add more data because it strictly reduced the set of blocks considered valid (and didn't use the segwit technique of adding a new field to transactions to escape the prior limits). I could offer some cynical guesses, but I doubt they'd advance the discussion.

I'd happily agree these things are not particularly relevant, but you brought them up and stated them falsely.

The rest of your posts continues with the false claims "These same developers block attempts to increase the block size in Bitcoin" -- yet your own post admits blocks can now be 4MB, it was increased. Of course, absolutely zero evidence for your 'block attempts to increase' when your own post contradicts it! lol

> You are arguing about intent

Quite the opposite: "Unless you are referring to increasing the capacity of blocks back in 2017, no change to the consensus rules that allowed larger transactions has happened. You can easily verify this for yourself by starting up an older copy of Bitcoin and observe that it accepts everything fine."

The offense at 'in support of "BRC-20" tokens' isn't even a question of intent, it's a casual impossibility. Bitcoin's capacity increase was in 2017. Taproot (which isn't relevant, but lets ignore that) was designed in 2019-- these things couldn't have been done in support of BRC-20 which is a few months old. Nor would they have needed to, since the BRC-20 data is 89 bytes, people had no problem embedding files tens of kilobytes in size secretly in transactions many years ago.

> I agree this could be an adversary with an incentive to take market share away

I don't see how that's actually disputable. We already know who's funding it, it's funded by Calvin Ayre as the people engaging in it have openly disclosed. ...Unless you want to dispute that Ayre is an adversary! :D Exactly why is a total guessing game, I doubt there is only a single reason.
No it is not equivalent.

My dream stack that I am using for my business is Phoenix, Live View and Stimulus.js with Tailwind.

I have built projects on Laravel, Django, RoR, React and a long tail of in house frameworks, and nothing feels as good as this stack for web apps. Ruby on Rails is quite underrated, but the BEAM is a spaceship that fits neatly in the list of unknown unknowns for 99% of software engineers: they do not know what the BEAM can do for them. Its process and mailbox model feels futuristic in its expressiveness and simplicity.

It's easier than you think to get used to Elixir's functional language model. For me it was super easy, while with stuff like Haskell or Prolog I felt like I had to rewrite my brain from scratch.

To end my proselitism, I am adamant that the first Live View demo by McCord and Valim will have the same staying power if not popularity as DHH's first demo of Ruby on Rails which spawned the modern MVC framework architecture of the past 15 years.

The Live View model is in my eyes the next generation of interactive web architecture, the true successor to MVC.
Why not use the 2nd layer with another 1st layer? Because I won't benefit financially.
Most super computers - at least the ones I’ve visited - have some nice chrome. Their output tends to be a couple of numbers or something equally uninspiring so making them look awesome is key to funding.
Good, it's not the most important or interesting part imo. I also had an entire course about parsing, just not about compilers, and I don't see why many professors give it such an amount of attention.
Accepted!

Funny, how easy it can be to retain those totally unimportant facts, isn't it? I credit my English to a huge extend to stuff like that, after almost all those books came in English.
"Or you can buy a top brand like Samsung, if you're happy with the bloatware and the recent deal with Meta – details not revealed, but it's safe to assume Zuck's hummingbird will be slipping its tongue into your sweet data nectar somewhere along the line. That may not end well."

It doesn't mention Samsung's cloud backup, which is enabled by default. It stores EVERYTHING from your phone on a server in South Korea. (This includes the contents of the removable uSD card, if one is present.) I'm sure the NSA loves this.

> At the same time, I'm surprised they can't get this classifier to work. It doesn't seem like a very challenging problem

Why are you assuming that they can't get the classifier to work? There's no evidence to that effect in the article.

> I wonder if they're over-reacting and just deciding to zero any residual risk by not allowing that classification anymore.

Why do you describe that as over-reacting? It seems like the appropriate level of reaction given there is no upside for getting it right and a massive downside for getting it wrong.

It doesn't even need to be a top-down edict, it's just the way the incentives will work out for everyone involved.

Let's say that you're an engineer working on that team, and find that there's a bunch of terms added to a blocklist a decade ago and still there. Are you going to just remove them, on the assumption that the classifications are correct? Of course not. How much validation work are you willing to do to convince yourself and others that the results are 100% correct? Is that really going to be the most interesting or impactful work you can do this quarter?

Similarly you'd find that whoever needs to approve such a removal would have incentives very strongly biased toward not approving the removal of terms from a blocklist. If everything goes well, they get no credit. If something goes wrong, they get the blame. It's possible to push through that bias toward inaction, but it requires it to be a change that somebody really wants to make happen.

For all the convolution Nassin Taleb has published (you really have to put what he publishes in the perspective of a guy who thought up a bet against the grain of the conventional thinking in financial markets, won big and got to live off that and just publish opinion pieces forevermore), I think he hit the nail on the head with the idea that very old books still in print are worth reading. The older the better, precisely because of what you said. I got more insight from reading Gilgamesh than from whole semesters of my college years.
