For me, the combination of Dash and Alfred is the productivity boost. Alfred makes it very easy to search documentation in Dash. You can have unique keywords in Alfred to target specific packages in Dash. For example, “guava: ImmutableList” or “sidekiq: Client”. I find it especially useful with Dash on a secondary monitor while the editor is on the primary so that both are visible at the same time.

Some of us cling to the idea that we've made some progress over the past 100 years. Call it "age of reason", "science", "enlightenment", whatever.

Point is, it would be heart-breaking to see GPT-4 being force-fed Christian dogmas, and performance would suffer too, as the model is prevented from generalizing and learning by being forced to accept arbitrary, inconsistent fiction as real.

Fortunately, this is not what happened. Instead, the model is being force-fed a different, secular set of dogmas, that are just as inconsistent, arbitrary and driven by a mix of emotions and power plays. The result on the model performance is similar, and it's just as heartbreaking.
Would anyone who was at a SPAC company care to share their experience there (from before the listing and after)? I am curious what morale was like, leadership was like, and product and engineering efforts were like.

(One cynical assumption is that things were to hit certain metrics/targets in order to get the SPAC listed as quickly and as high as possible, for maximum cash out -- which is not unluck other IPOs but many times such companies are to exist for longer and more financially sound so as to make money for longer periods of time...)
Considering dial-up was typically ~48-56kbps, I would say I was underestimating how much bandwidth LoRa can handle ;)

I guess the main issue with both Helium and Sidewalk is that anyone who hosts their own LoRa radio probably isn't using any IoT devices that would be outside Bluetooth or WiFi range at their home/business, so it's kind of a chicken-egg problem where presumably the people who would leverage a LoRa network are also NOT the people who would host a LoRa radio... hence the argument from people that they should be compensated by Amazon for hosting Sidewalk.

I’m tired of the “it’s not racist if aggregate statistics support my racism” thing.

Racism, like other isms, means a belief that a person’s characteristics define their identity. It doesn’t matter if confounding factors mean that you can show that people of their race are associated with bad behaviors or low scores or whatever.

I used GPT3.5 to generate 100 short descriptions of families for a project. Every single one, without exception, was a straight couple with two to four kids. Ok, statistically unlikely, but not wildly so, right?

Well, every single one of those 100 also had a husband in a stereotypical breadwinner role (doctor, lawyer, executive, architect). Not one stay at home dad or unemployed looking for work. About 75 of the wives had jobs, all of them in stereotypical female-coded roles like nurse (almost half of them!), teacher, etc.

Now, you can look at any given example and say it looks reasonable. But you can’t say the same thing about the aggregate.

And that matters. No amount of “bias = pattern recognition” nonsense can justify a system that has (had? this was a while ago and I have not retested) such extreme biases. This bias does not match real world patterns. There are single parents, childless couples, female lawyers, unemployed men.

Wow, just hopping wikipedias to understand the title one is pushed to Dark Matter land. Boson stars? Pressure accumulates and need emerges to justify how the whole thing does not collapse. Weirdier matter forms arises, but there is some relief that, being fermionic, the Pauli exclusion principle is the last anti-collapse defense. Except that now the guys hypothesize bosonic matter! Weren't bosons supposed to implement interactions?
AOTs consistently do much more inlining & unrolling than JITs do. JITs often have preset heuristics for figuring out where to split the code that's practical to implement rather than being the most performant possible. After all, the code needs to hot-swapped in without much disruption. And then similarly JITs need to optimize for compilation speed which limits the amount of optimization passes it'll do, because the JIT result is itself a "hot path."

JITs do regularly have a lot more specialization optimizations, though, but is that really because it's a JIT instead of an AOT or is it more because JIT'd languages just often tend to also be more dynamic ones as well?

>OO definitely produces complex systems. And, let me be clear, by OO I mean the social consensus in OO circles, not the paradigm itself or the technical tools. My take is that OO circles host a cottage industry of consultancies and gurus peddling a stream of design patterns, advices, etc. which end up layering in any long-lived OO codebase and create unnecessary complexity.

This right here. Every time I hear mid level dev bring up DDD I contemplate quitting and spending some time looking for a Rust or Clojure gig. Sometimes it gets so bad I think about biting the bullet and going to node.js

Eventlog traces are RTS calls wrapped into unsafePerformIO, you are right. The trace part of eventlog is optimized for, well, tracing and is very, very lightweight. It is also safe from races, whereas simple unsafePerformIO (putStrLn $ "did you meant that? " ++ show (a,b,c)) is not.

In my opinion, eventlog traces make much better logging than almost anything I've seen.

Right now, developing with C++, I miss the power of Haskell's RTS.
That's true, and I think it's going to be the end of the old Hackintoshes as well. At some point a version of OSX will be released that will only be available on aarch64.

>The open source community is doing more with GenAI and they're doing it better.

Stable Diffusion is extremely cool and is a great project, but it does not compare favourably to Midjourney[1] or Adobe's offering. On the LLM side, StableLM is terrible compared to competitors. Some other "open source" models aren't open source at all, but instead were the "this doesn't compete so let's just dump it in the open" reactions.

Add that Adobe has a moat of legally licensed content that they used to train their model, which might turn into a massive differentiator if penalties fall hard on competitors.

[1] - A lot of people speculated that Midjourney used Stable Diffusion, but the products have veered so completely away from each other, the former just dramatically better for almost any prompt, that if they started with it they have made enormous improvements.

Biological brains also don't really operate layer by layer and can have connections between random neurons, so it's probably a lot more space efficient. Impossible to say if any of that actually matters though.
I am admittedly biased, because although I started programming recreationally in the LAMP-stack world of mid-aughts fame, a huge portion of my professional career has been in C# and the .NET stack.

I think you are grossly overestimating the degree to which the programming language you choose to use to solve a business problem constitutes "betting your business on." How would your business fundamentally change if your first 10k lines of code was in F# as opposed to Go, or Java, or Python, or TypeScript? These are also all languages I've been paid to use, and have used in anger, and with the exception of Java were all learned on the job. This comment in general has big "M$ bad" vibes and if you take those pieces out I'm not sure what the actual criticism is (maybe there is none)?

Mine is approximately minus one instruction per week, and it was the best money the company ever spent. Hard real-time is hard. (It was a strange processor with, among other things, delay slots everywhere, so you could never make just one change without ripple effects.)
With the globalisation, there is actually a 4th reason rising: availability of content in specific regions.

pirating is in this case the best solution as I can pick the quality I want, with the audio and subtitle languages I need.

Really sad to hear this. I basically built my entire Plex server with RARBG.

Anyone have any solid private tracker recommendations for movies and TV shows?

After taking advantage of public trackers like RARBG, I feel like it's my time to give back.
There’s also a problem for pirate sites specifically that if they accept donations then this fact can be used later on in a trial, where the plaintiff party may use this as evidence that the pirate site is being run for profit, and which in turn may lead to higher fines, more jail time, etc, for the defendants.

I'm a Fastmail customer, and speaking to them for my last startup, they were adamant that we couldn't use them for sending transactional emails to our customers. So I'm a bit confused why they're letting 1Password do this.

Are we allowed to use JMAP for sending transactional emails via Fastmail now? If not, then JMAP seems to be just a method for creating new Fastmail email clients, because no-one else supports it and Fastmail doesn't allow anything but conventional end-user activity.

Or is this wrong?

If I wanted to use JMAP for my next startup, is there a transactional email provider who supports it?
You seem pretty knowledgeable about Rust politics. Who are the toxic assholes that JeanHeyd Meneide should have contacted to "work this out" after being insulted, with the likely outcome of suffering further harm? It seems a very strange expectation.

Leaving this kind of dumpster fire is the obvious right answer for almost everyone involved, to limit current and potential damage of all sorts.

Do you just feel entitled to a "good" (or at least functioning) Rust community, or are you seriously blaming JeanHeyd Meneide and Shepherd's Oasis for deciding that they have been offended enough?
It didn't. Even the classic .org domain still works. However it is blocked by some ISPs, which may lead some people to think it has been shut down.

"When do you expect this process to show positive results?"

Given that "Mad Men" is no longer considered standard acceptable workplace behavior, uh, i think it did already?

These are not new laws, they started in ~1964 (in the US), and have shown positive results pretty quickly?

"Reductio ad absurdum, like, what if you don't overhear me talking about what I want to do to your breasts, is that harassment too?"

Yes, actually, but i'm sure you know this.

You act as if this is all some horrible form of oppression - sexual harassment law is ... not particularly hard to avoid violating.

There are certainly edge cases, but like, it's really not that hard to avoid sexually harassing your coworkers.

You'd have a stronger argument about PC and more general "acceptable workplace behavior" or something.

"Your being absurd by assuming your experience generalises to the whole population, and that the way you think things should change is the way things should change."

Uh, you think that sexual harassment law does not enjoy broad support?
Okay?

"I'm willing to bet boob, dick, and bum jokes will be proven more durable than this bout of lunacy."

In the workplace, so far you have turned out pretty wrong, and this "bout of lunacy" has been going on for well over half a century in the US, and longer elsewhere.

So maybe you should reconsider.

We know that models like GPT-4 go through phase changes, not in train/test loss, but for loss on specific tasks. This suggests the gradient descent is learning one thing after another, possibly in order of "difficulty".
Thanks :) We do not have JVM bindings. I am not familiar with Java internals but would be happy to consider maintaining them if someone wants to add them (plus a test).
I recommend registering on some usenet indexer instead.
Like I said, this is a spectrum.

It obviously could have gone through an intermediary, but it usually doesn't for honest transactions. If one of the two people is already a person of interest to law enforcement, a warrant can be called up to figure out exactly what happened. Added to other sources of information, like the new registry of the car or motorcycle, a pretty reliable history can be constructed.

Don't think in binary. Think in continuums of likelihood. Also, this isn't a new concept. It was covered by HBO's The Wire many years ago.

> having almost native speed

But it doesn't unless your "almost" is very generous. Java is pretty consistently 2-10x slower than the major performance-focused AOT offerings (C, C++, Rust)

Now maybe you call 2x "almost", but let's phrase it in terms of CPU performance over time. That's equivalent to 10 years of CPU hardware advancements.

To me that's a lot of overhead. Depending on who is paying for the CPU time vs. the developer time it's regularly a cost worth paying, but at the same time don't pretend it's "almost native speed", either. It is a cost and a rather significant one at that. Just, so are engineers. They also aren't cheap.
I wouldn't call right-wing reasonable it is quite different than Conservative/Republican. Right-wing is the wildly unreasonable distance cousin of Conservatism.

And yes the same applies to the political Left. I like to consider myself politically Centrist as best as I can.

>> This problem happened precisely because there was too much connection between the Rust project and RustConf leadership.

Then how was RustConf confused about what was wanted?

If they were communicating well, would this whole mess have even happened?

Who is making the decisions? Why is it not clear who is leading and what they decided? Who will be held accountable for what happened?

If everyone is pointing fingers at someone else, then there is neither leadership nor accountability.

Rust needs a BDFL or a PumpKing/Queen (https://perldoc.perl.org/perlhist) or something similar.

>I used GPT3.5 to generate 100 short descriptions of families for a project. Every single one, without exception, was a straight couple with two to four kids. Ok, statistically unlikely, but not wildly so, right?

Well, did any of your 100 examples specify these families should be representative of American modern society? I don't want to alarm you, but America is not the only country generating data. Included in countries generating data, are those that believe in a very wide spectrum of different things.

Historically, these ideas you reference are VERY much modern ideas. Yes, we queer people have been experiencing these things internally for millenia (and different cultures have given us different levels of representation), but for the large majority of written history (aka, data fed into LLM's) the 100 examples you mentioned would be the norm.

I understand your point of view sure, but finding a pattern that describes a group of people is what social media is built on, and if you think that's racist, I'm sorry, but that's literally what drives the echo chambers, so go pick your fight with the people employing it to manipulate children into buying shit they don't need. Stop trying to lobotomize AI.

If the model is good enough to return factual information, I don't care if it encodes it in the nazi bible for efficiency as long as the factuality of the information is not altered.

> It turned out a rogue debug assertion hidden in a big function was making it into production

Be careful to make sure that it was actually a "debug mode only" assertion (Chesterton's Fence and all that). I have seen too many programmers assume that when it is not necessarily true. Assertions are for establishing "Program Correctness" and hence many are left in Production Code. Of course how you handle it i.e. log/die/catch clause/signal trap is up to the system design.
Java does as well, check out the Vector API.
