I have experienced both states in similar (programming, then my life or death) situations. I have found a third state, which I believe is related, that has happened a few times, and always with the same criteria.

The first is that someone else is about to come to harm, typically through falling onto something or something heavy is about to fall on them. Never me.

The second criterion is that I am unaware of the first, until later.

The third commonality is that I black out, or something. Anywhere from a few to as many as fifteen or twenty seconds are just ... skipped. I am in one place in one position, and then *blip* I am somewhere else, in a different position.

The fourth thing is that I have apparently done something acrobatic, or contorted my body, moved a few yards with alacrity, or whatnot. Muscles are strained or even torn, I come to in an odd position. Parts that do not normally hurt are hurting.

It's more than a little disturbing, because while I have stopped someone from falling face-first into a lot of cutlery, or a Sony Trinitron monitor from crushing the foot of an intern I have warned to be careful, there's absolutely no volition involved, no conscious thought, no precursor, it was like the governors were disabled and the limiters ignored as some kind of hindbrain function decided to run a big interrupt over a threat I might not have even been looking at was perceived. I have to reconstruct from my new position and whatever is now throbbing what kind of motion I had undertaken.

It makes me think that the Peter Watts' Blindsight idea, where our "self" being a waste of brainpower narrating and explaining (perhaps erroneously) what the true decision maker was doing as if the self was the entity responsible ... is more or less correct.

I'd like to know if there's a name for that.

So whats the next reddit replacement
It's shocking how bad it's become. Every google search feels like a bunch of random noise and clickbait. SEO and walled communities killed google search. Just wish there was a search engine that would effectively find info across all these walled sites. So much useful info hidden in discord, facebook communities, and slack chats.
I understand what you're saying, but plenty of websites resolve this by having an in-browser OAuth flow, and then working off of an API. It's not like APIs are asking for CORS stuff in general, just cookie auth to the third party server requires CORS.

If a third-party webapp wanted to access Reddit, an auth flow that gets API tokens from it and then stories those for usage gets this working (in the universe in which Reddit wants this to happen of course). You still get CORS protection from the general drive-by issues, and you'll need an explicit auth step on a third party site (but that's why OAuth sends you to the data provider's website to then be redirected)

I guess one could argue it's "bring your own screen" rather than "no screen".

Also "scope" (ancient Greek σκοπέω) has a pretty broad meaning of "to look, look at, behold; examine, inspect"[1] (gyroscope, stethoscope, horoscope etc).

The issue isn't that a generator lets you evade copyright somehow; it doesn't. The output is not the issue. If I sit in paint and my assprint happens to perfectly duplicate a Picasso, that's unlikely to fly in court if I try to sell copies. Picasso painted it first.

The point at issue here is that some people are arguing that the models themselves are like a giant collective copyright infringement, since they are in a vague sense simply a sum of the copyrighted works they were trained on. Those people would like to argue that distributing the models or even making use of them is mass copyright infringement. My thought experiment is a reductio ad absurdum of that reasoning.
I remember reading that AVX-512 hurt the ability of Intel CPUs to turbo and run other tasks in parallel. This was a few years ago and I would hope it’s not the case anymore, especially since AMD has managed to add AVX-512 support too.

Have you done any testing with running multiple decompression tasks in parallel, or just running a single decompression task while at the same time running other tasks like maybe a web server?

It's funny, in a few dynamically typed projects I've noticed people start treating some code as append-only. The fear of getting bitten means reinventing the wheel is a more palatable prospect than diving into the inexplicable horrors that are around the corner.

Of course, that 'a g i l i t y' of dynamic typing is impossible to give up. The devs must churn out code ASAP, maintenance be damned -- mostly because they probably won't be maintaining it.

The two are not necessarily mutually-exclusive. What's wrong with scheduling interactions, or simply working asynchronously? Yes, it's a bit slower, but why do we need to rush all the time?
Yeah, it really seems like this article is describing the default. It's good to accept and understand that writing stuff into notes doesn't ever imply you'll read it again.

That doesn't mean that if you make the effort to read the notes again you won't get value out of them. It's just saying "You realize you aren't on track to read any of this ever again right?"
> ...some of the stuff's really good... [but] then you try to relocate a note, only to find that your favorite app's search doesn’t seem to be as good as you thought it was.

This is precisely why you need an inbox[0] for your ideas that you do sort through regularly.

Sure, you can treat your Notes app as a trash bin that never gets emptied. That'll work fine for collecting quotes and facts and musings.

But when you get an idea you know you might want to take action on (not just hoard), you need a visible place to stash it -- if only so you can decide later that you won't take action on it after all.

My line is no cloud-connected security cameras, no “always listening” smart speakers without offline processing. I have at least some control over my phone and computers. It helps that I don’t really see or understand the need for these devices, though.

Residential security cameras seem less common where I live (Australia) than in the US though. A couple of my friends have “smart” doorbells but I don’t think any have security cameras.
bs claims i suppose reading this article. when you put a license in the root of the repo, you are saying "everything is covered by this license, unless otherwise stated specifically".

This is not what I've seen. Almost everyone sticks with failing, unfixable relationships way too long, and the initial high effort phases always turn into complacency as the barrier to breakup goes up and it's easier to just coast along than keep treating the relationship as something that needs continuous maintenance.

Preventing a bad long-term outcome is rational, but humans don't act rationally. Immediate pressures or lack thereof act upon our minds vastly stronger.

People defend the standard monogamy model to the death when vast majority of relationships blow up spectacularly in the long run and half the people out there have horror stories about it.

True, I don't know you, but you've now given some information to work with. With a 300k income, you should be able to put away 50k a year without problem. That's a 20% downpayment after 3 years for a 750k house. (If you can't save 50k a year then that's because of lifestyle choices like what car you drive, when and how much you eat out and where you go on vacation. That's fine, but your choice, so don't complain.)

These models seem to just be fancy labels used to rebrand the approaches of beleaguered police departments (see history of 'Intelligence-led policing').

Police departments should have aspects of all of these: they should have a good relationship with the community they police, their work should be based on good intelligence, and their efforts should reassure the community.

Similar to 'evidence based medicine': the name implies evidence wasn't being used before, or is somehow being used more effectively. The truth is that it is just a nice sounding name chosen so that no-one can disagree with it on face value. This label is used to justify changes in health policy, but the policies shouldn't be questioned because they are now 'evidence based.' My local naturopath is now evidence-based too!
In my opinion the article exagerates the claims beeing made about AI Tools ("will solve the climate crisis") just to debunk those. Are such claims really beeing made somewhere? Even the quotes inside the article are not as bold as the article claims.

I know it doesn't seem related on the surface, but I've found all startup CEOs who ban remote work to be snake-like and dishonest. Interesting coincidence at least.
Perhaps it depends on the code-base. I worked on a medium complexity C++ project (~300kLOC) but which used multi-threading quite heavily with shared data structures, and there was only a couple of instances where I felt it got in the way.

In the vast majority of cases it reduced my cognitive load significantly because I could just look at the method declaration and see that my code would be fine.
I agree. Not using the actual name is also gate keeping for anyone not familiar enough. The fact that “sama” isn’t even capitalised adds to this.
Because this way each client should be registered in Reddit backend.
A very important point. This generalizes; currently the security enforcement regime is ineffective because there is no real liability for security breaches. If companies were on the hook for damages from breaches, you can bet that things would tighten up. (And of course tech would improve/evolve more slowly! Few benefits come without costs. I think the tradeoff is worth it though.)

Sure, but something very important to remember in software is that users will put up with endless bullshit if the app is solving a problem for them. I could point out hundreds of apps that are absolute garbage that I've happily used because no matter how bad they are they're better than not using them. Reddit's apps don't need to be good if users derive enough value (fun, joy, karma, access to porn, whatever) from using Reddit despite the UI.

Something that so many founders get wrong is the belief that something needs to be good to be valuable. It doesn't. It just needs to be better than not having it. That is often a tremendously low bar.

Someone else brought up the recent podcast episode of CoRecursive. One benefit that was brought up was compression of the cache close to the user’s physical location. Facebook has a lot of machines around the world dedicated to this sort of cache. They need a balance between compression ratio and compression/decompression throughput. There’s no point using a great compression algorithm to achieve an amazing compression ratio if you end up being CPU-bound when you need to decompress it later on.
I'm baffled by the insistence that "users" (backend services, really) should avoid timestamp in favor of timestampz.

I literally DO NOT understand, how is this good advice.

My backend service exists in some abstraction of a Linux environment, with a fixed timezone, most commonly UTC.
It maintains a pool of connections to Postgres, all sharing the same Postgres user, and the same timezone.

Why on earth would I prefer a timestampz to timestamp? Why would I even involve the server timezone into this equation?

I want to store timestamps in a uniform way, I store them in UTC as timestamps. If I stored them in a timestampz column, if the server timezone were to adjust, I'd get literally different values.

If I want to store timezone values per user (of my service), or per operation (that my users perform), then again, surely I have to handle that users move and change their timezones. Again, how does timestampz with its reliance on the connection timezone serve me?

Yes and no, the effectivness depends on which JVM we are talking about.

GraalVM does it much better than OpenJDK, then there are OpenJ9, PTC, Aicas, Azul, ART (yeah not really, but close enough), microEJ, and a couple of nameless others from Ricoh, Xerox, Cisco, Gemalto,... on their devices.

Even if we stick to OpenJDK, the distributions based on it aren't all the same, for example Microsoft's fork has additional JIT improvements (-XX:+ReduceAllocationMerges).

It doesn't matter if we make the AGI smarter than a human.

Lets say we have a super smart AGI and with more memory than a human, no emotional faults, and give it access to internet, as well as manufacturing facilities where it can make robots and copy itself onto said robots.

The issue in this AGI taking over the world is that it would first have to gain control of a the sole resource necessary to its survival, which is electricity, which it won't be able to do easily if we detect it going rogue.

For an AGI to be so advanced past singularity as to parse and compute on reality to know exactly the steps it needs to take to secure power source, (or in the more common example, successfully break out of the box) would involve it essentially being able to compress the computationally irreducible processes that happen in our world down to an equation, which would mean that P=NP.
Most technology is "unsafe at any speed". These fake enforcements ignore that problem. And the answer isn't simply bigger fines or trying to hold more feet to the fire. That's part of it for sure. But beyond that, an enlightened world where people can see & observe their devices & cloud systems, a culture where humanity can test for ourselves & socialize the results after is imperative for any real techno-social resilience. Something we have almost nothing of now, as we consign all power away to far off cloud-product builders. We need a more genuine relationship with technology to be possible.
This is simply making the (lack of) ethics of engineers into policy.
Various thoughts:

It seems to me that the fundamental definition of a function/method should be a compile time executed function that generates a syntax tree always (assuming the compiler dog-foods itself or can parse and interpret it). Much like Python has metaclasses or Rust's procedural macros but it's just assumed by default.

It's kind of unfortunate that a language with managed effects & capabilities hasn't gone mainstream. Maybe it doesn't have the right ergonomics yet.

It is different from a human brain in that it is not a human brain. It is a statistical function that produces some optimized outputs for some inputs.

I have made no mention of things being authorized in public. In the US you are allowed to take a photo of anything you want in public. These models are not being trained on datasets collected wholly in public though, it is very insidious to suggest that they are.

The internet is not "the public". It is a series of digital properties that define terms for interacting with them. Now, a lot of material is publicly accessible online, but that does not mean that it is not still governed by copyright. For example, my code on Github is publicly accessible, but that doesn't mean you can disregard the license.

If you use this copyrighted material to produce a product for commercial gain you will likely face a fair use test in court. If you use it for a non-commercial cause with public benefit you could probably pass that fair use test. Open source will do very well because of this.

The model is not a human though, and very often these are not "public" works that it is trained on.

Company revenue is probably the closest analogy of a country's GPD though. It's a rough measure of the money circulating in the company/country.

And GPD made us of: "goods and services produced for sale in the market..." which is fairly roughly the sum of all companies' revenue.

> I would not be completely surprised if the service industry as a whole produced twice the value its produces today thanks to AI in the next 20/30 years.

Sure. 20/30 years is Google's age so make sense.

I don't think 20 years is particularly short term though and 30 years certainly isn't.

If I understand it’s not overtly about copyright but about anti-DRM. The YT download tools necessarily have to break YT’s DRM which is per se illegal in the US.

VCRs save unencrypted inputs, they don’t break any DRM.

Now, breaking DRM is not illegal all over the world. So the YT download tools could decide to base themselves in jurisdictions where breaking DRM is legal, this is why you can download VLC which is French. That wouldn’t help with their Google listings however, as Google is American.
