This is insane. I learned mathematics from Houghton-Mifflin and Addison-Wesley copyrighted textbooks. Are you telling me that if I use this knowledge to, say, calculate matrices, I am violating copyright?

If I read Brandon Sanderson, absorb his writing style, setting, characters, and plot devices into my subconscious, and then a year later pen a short story that happens to be Sanderson-ish, do I have to write a check to Brandon?

No. LLMs are doing roughly the same thing our own brains do, at least at a high level: absorb information, and utilize that information in different ways. That's it.
As June rolled around today, I was just reflecting on the history of sexuality, and the philosophical shift that has occurred relatively recently, from "lifestyle" to "orientation" to "identity" and all that comes with it.

People in the past did not consider themselves to have sexual orientations, to be gay or straight or something else. Even someone who was committed to a same-sex romantic relationship wouldn't have, or want, the terminology to describe and identify themselves in those terms. It was... behavior. Passions.

So it's not difficult to see that this lack of labeling and identity would also be a lack of barriers to intimacy and romantic talk without necessitating or implying sexual behavior. If a bro is too proud to sit next to me on a bus bench today because he needs his personal space, perhaps he's afraid of being labeled or branded as something he doesn't like.

I like the fact that the subjects of this article have gone beyond "best friends" terminology and come up with some neat new terms. "Boot-camp besties"! Yeah!
Sounds like you've re-invented Nagle's algorithm.
In AWS, if you keep a long running VM, it will keep running in the same server, even if degraded afaik. Even a reboot won't migrate to a new server. You have to shut it down and power it back up. This I learned back in 2019, so it could have changed but I doubt it.
If the government is going to put a domain name on license plates, you'd think it would make sure the domain name stays registered as long as the license plates remain in use. They're lucky it was snatched up by a casino and not something worse like hardcore pornography or a hate group.

To fix this, the state of Maryland should identify everybody who still has this license plate and send them a replacement plate in the current style. They have that information in a database somewhere, associated with names and addresses, so they should be able to run a simple query. If not, that means they probably need to fund a project to upgrade their databases to a modern implementation of SQL.
> Shareholders are spending these extravagant sums for tasks that can now be done just as well by an AI program trained on 100 years of corporate reports and Wall Street Journal texts.

The quote from the article is clearly from someone who has never run a company, of size at least.

People have a very hard time being good CEO's, AI will not make that happen any time soon.
Au contraire, it's the other way around. It makes more sense to put favicon.ico, robots.txt and humans.txt in .well-known, but that's life, these files are legacy. (shrugs)
> disable the CC6 sleep state.

This is now the second time AMD has screwed up the C6 state. Ryzen first gen would hang daily for me when due to a similar bug.
I have to admit I wasn't aware of sleep states being necessary for the problem do arise when I wrote the comment.
That's basically the assumption made by this project.
Zig looks like a fine C replacement, but C isn't what people are using to make games in the vast majority of cases. It's all C++, and operator overloading is part of the "sane subset" that everyone uses even if they hate the excesses of modern C++ as a whole.
This depends on the C6 sleep state being enabled and the server not having been restarted for 3 years. It’s extremely unlikely that your cloud provider servers are going to meet this criteria and ignore this errata for a part they’ve bought thousands of.

So no, it’s not going to start randomly hitting people.

> Seems comparably problematic to me.

Not even close. The FDIV bug hit common operations that could be issued millions of times per second. This bug only applies to specific configurations that haven’t been rebooted for 3 years and has a clear workaround.

They’re not even close to comparable in impact and ability to work around. Literally many orders of magnitude different.
The rise of "no-wash" movement
I think you’ve just quantified the difference between a text generator (LLM) and AGI.
CEO's and mid to upper management are about power, not doing things. Why is it so hard for us to understand something that is so simple and so obvious?
We can't afford to do this: it would put too many coke dealers and mistresses out of business.
Like a safety razor, which is much less safe than modern alternatives.
Do you have a reference?

If I followed this right, the frequency goes up with load (which seems backwards). So a 50%-loaded grid will be at 60.05 Hz. A newly started inverter will try to output 60 Hz (and fail, since it is unable to single-handedly reduce the frequency). But it will surely end up with nonzero current.

Don’t real spinning synchronous machines work the other way? If they are overloaded, they spin slower, and if they are spinning a bit slower than the grid when connected, the grid will speed them up?
>just that once you're in the role for two days you realize that replacing that role entirely isn't going to happen.

Journalists might very well say the same thing (when people who've never been journalists talk about replacing them with AI).
They won't though. An EC2 stays in the same server even if its service is degraded, afaik.
I'm way too young to remember it clearly but from what I was told it was nothing of the sort. Intel announced that they had identified a bug and would review on a case by case basis to see who was affected and would determine if you were worthy of getting a CPU that was fixed.

Again, this is secondhand but from people who worked directly in the industry at the time.

Have you seen the big printers at many konbinis? Those are also fax machines.

I have only sent two faxes in my life, and both were after I moved to Japan. The first was right after I arrived, I ordered something from Amazon and I realized I had written my address wrong, when I tried to fix it my account to blocked, and to unblock it I had to send a hand-written fax with my name and address. The second time was when I got a letter from the Sapporo police telling me that I had lost my driving license there. Again, to recover it I had to send a hand-written fax explaining the situation, so they could prove my identity. How that is considered a secure procedure is beyond me, but such is Japan.
If CEOs were as replaceable and disconnected from the outcome of a business as the author suggests, boards would've started doing this long ago and CEO salaries would come down as a result (lots of people want to be CEOs, and by this author's logic, virtually anyone can do it). This is so disconnected from reality it reads like satire.
It does seem to be for the more expensive diamondclean series tho I guess the brush checking would be similar. Didn't find any decryption in the APK, it just transfers it as is. Must be hidden inside the firmware as well. I don't think there's any way to get the firmware except dump it from the chip :/

This is basically what I've come to do in the Zig scripts I write at work.

It took a bit of getting used to when I joined but we agreed as a team to have all meaningful scripts written in Zig not bash (for one, bash doesn't work on Windows without WSL and we need to support Windows builds/testing/etc.).

It makes about as much sense as any other cross-platform scripting option once I got used to it!

Some examples:

Nah, your "flame war detector" validates it. Am I expected to believe a site that looks a lot like Craigslist and has no extra features like email, favorites, etc. has the ability and competence to properly code a flame war detector?

Or is it more likely there is a basic filter that blocks conversations against the interests of said party? Forums are transparent, when threads are locked /deleted / moderated it is egregiously obvious and publicly visible. HN operates Gestapo style and then tries to gaslight you that nothing happened.
Yeah its completely seperate. The LLM just gets some extra text in the prompt, that is all. The text you want to insert is "encoded" into the database which is not particularly compute expensive. You can read about one such implementation here: https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma
Back when I ran Gentoo, distcc and ccache were pretty a necessity.
Thanks that's great to hear! If you know anyone else that's interested definitely share it around, want to get as much feedback on it as possible.

Afaik Zig has the issue that basically everything happens on the Discord server, where it can't be indexed via search engines, or found by anyone who wants to have a quick question answered. This would be "fine" if the standard library and language were much better documented, but it isn't, and it's still ripe with bugs.

In other words, you're forced to use the Zig Discord server if you want to find answers to any simple questions, and this is (sadly) not obvious at all to newcomers to the language.
I don't understand the nature of the relationship between a motherboard manufacturer and AMD but when I got my MSI Tomahawk board for my Ryzen I really thought I was losing my mind. I would have USB devices stop working at the most random of times and some of them would continually cycle between connected and not connected.

A motherboard update from MSI applied something from AMD and that fixed the issue.

As an adult, friendships keep passing by. All of a sudden a good friend "gets busy" or "life just happens". I really do not believe it anymore, even if people are genuinely busy, the least they can do is spare a few seconds of their day to reply back to a text? After what can only be described as a long "sliding window" of maintaining multiple friendships, seeing one tail expire and me actively trying to build more, I am genuinely tired of this or being so emotionally invested with them. I just don't feel its right either talking to so many this devotedly to someone I have no intention of marrying.

I'm looking for something deeper, as this article shows, a monogamous romantic relationship. I would like to have many children too. I don't think humans are built for multiple deep friendships. It also invites jealousy with the romantic partner. Being religious, "till death do us part" being expected out of marriage, I doubt these deep friends would go that far without the benefits of marriage.

Marriage and kids seem to be the center of life in this otherwise busy world
I realize the part I was focused on was this: "Bleach can be easily made onsite from abundant salt and electrolysis"

I do a fair amount of back country moto-camping and so water purification is on my mind. I'm familiar with many of the water treatment methods for camping and backpacking. But this passage about making bleach is intriguing.

I'm genuinely curious if making bleach in this way is commonly used for water treatment. If the OP has this experience or is the OP knowledgeable about chemistry and synthesizing their knowledge to the problem for the sake of discussion.

Or is this yet another example of common knowledge that I missed because I was sleeping in high school chemistry class. LOL.
Not if Autocrypt has their way! (And I hope they will!)
Probably against the law (especially if you plan on continuing to drive the car waiting for replacements), but you'd probably get away with it. (more risky if you or your car attract police who want an excuse to mess with you). Good answer though.
Chess also has a rigid, well-defined set of rules. Business does not. Being a CEO requires combining a lot of (sometimes nebulous) mental models, each with a degree of uncertainty, to some overall business strategy. I think it was Sam Harris who pointed out this is why there are child prodigies in subjects like math and chess, but none in something like political science.
It was also during the attack on Baltimore that Francis Scott Key wrote the words to the Star Spangled Banner, a point of pride for Maryland
Pretty strange that I would think of myself under a new identity if I moved to a new place with a different social perspective. Seems like that is a deceptive abuse of what the word "identity" entails, and, while sociological terms are socially constructed and can be defined differently, I find this to be a very narrow (and very Western-centric) way of using the term.
At this point i just use ChatGPT to build the UI's for my script. What else does this offer?

This is fantastic. I've been using CSS Scan for years on an almost daily basis. It's so incredibly useful. Whenever I wanted to quickly see how a design was done, I'd hit the button and hover and get instant info that was quicker and easier than having to delve into the developer tools. The ability to quickly copy and paste with it is great. Now with all the extra features, it's a really great set of tools and removes the need for me to have separate tools for some of that functionality (including the super buggy eyedropper utilities I've been using). I did not even hesitate to buy it.

Amazing work! Ignore the critics.

Wait, git will happily run random binaries in path?

Is there a complete list of these? I take it git credential-format-hd and git remote-format-hd will at least work?

(This is ofcourse in addition to hooks).

Note that the author wrote neuro*a*typical (although I also made the same mistake when I first read the article). This makes more sense within the context of the paragraph - one typical trait of, for example, autism is a strong sense of right and wrong, so I think the author is trying to link those two ideas together: they are neurodivergant or neuroatypical in some way, and as a result, they feel heavily affected by issues that they perceive to have a moral or social justice aspect to them.
One possible next step might be composing an example. Currently automated CEOs have achieved at best modest accomplishments.
Dear Google Analytics 4
> Around here the retail rate I pay on my power bill is something like 12 cents per kWh which is $120/MWh.

A cargo ship does not retail its load. You would still need a transport and a distribution network behind it, as well as a production plant somewhere across the world.

With $100 worth of power at the ship terminal, you could very well pay another $50-60 of transport cost and maybe $30-40 in taxes.
> Anyways, my solution currently is a peer-to-peer approach where the systems themselves decide to mitigate issues, propagate patches (or even vaccines for zero-days) and also share incidents that look suspicious, so the surrounding nodes can start to quarantine themselves off, for example, when something really bad happened.

How do you intend to run analytics on a single node? A modern EDR needs a lot of processing power to analyze logs. You are going to have to push down potentially sensitive analytics to endpoints, and have the potentially compromised endpoint decide what to share. How is this scenario accounted for?
But what is power? It's an means to getting things done (albeit not necessarily 'doing them' yourself)

Do you maintain any C projects? Personally, I tried using zig for its build system (which can also compile C and whose build files are written in zig). One of the benefits of this was easy cross-compilation to all major platforms.

It might not be a _real_ use-case or anything, but writing a `build.zig` file for an existing C project might be a good way to at least dip your toe in the water.
Power and lying to the press, then. Still in AI's wheelhouse.
A word of caution with DIY/commercial products. Tested one product out, caused me to see flashing lights and another time caused a burning sensation.
Knowing something is "toxic" is not the same as knowing we should not use it, or that it's particularly dangerous. Tylenol is very toxic to ingest. So is gasoline. Yet we use both every day. Caffeine is pretty toxic as well. Not only do you need to know a product's toxicity, but also the expected dose, and exposure over time. PFAS may very well be dangerous -- I haven't looked at it closely -- but the reporting has all been a mess.

Even the linked article here doesn't tell us much. In the first bullet, the quote of a quote with excerpts out of context is telling. The second bullet about toxicity when ingested -- again, that's true of lots of products. At what dose, over what period of time? The third bullet about birth defects -- that happens. The question is whether they had reason to believe it was related to exposure to C-8.

As a modern society, it would be extremely expensive to have a zero tolerance position for toxics. Many every-day products that produce a great deal of value in our lives are toxic. The question is one of whether the toxicity is material or likely to affect people, and whether the risks outweigh the benefits. None of this reporting grapples with those issues.

Iirc “they” decided that all new standards for “specific URLs you may want to serve for a particular purpose” will be under /.well-known. Robots is grandfathered because it’s super old and established and thus crazy to move. There won’t be anymore “at the root” standards.
They replace C-level people often and the relationship isn't what you imply.

There's a structural power relationship in play. Monarchs play a fairly unimportant role these days but many countries still have them and compensate them handsomely.

CEOs are structurally capitalist monarchs. Sometimes it's even a hereditary position. They even do the corporate equivalent of court and heraldry stuff.

They're compensated not based on competency but instead, like every other job, via social arrangement.

If you don't think that's how salaries work, you're getting underpaid.
I mean i think you could probably argue the long tail of poor performing small simple companies that sell widgets you might be able to automate a chunk of tasks. Thats as far as I would be willing to go. Other than that its a dishonest or uneducated argument.
I'm surprised that the reason I'm mostly interested in Zig is not mentioned.

This is C interop.

I work with C quite a bit and I enjoy it, however writing a large project in C can be tiresome.

Having an option like Zig which can import C headers and call C functions without bindings is pretty attractive, especially when you want to write something a big larger but still stay in C world.

In my case it was so all encompassing (drowned in the noise) that behavioral therapy just increased my paranoia and made me more unstable. At some point I decided to dig deeper and then it 'clicked' and a overwhelming torrent of emotions got released.
I guess everyone's journey is different on that one. Some are more in tune with themselves and just need to establish healthy habits to get back on track, which is already hard enough. Others need to confront whatever they are suppressing with all its built up energy (mostly since childhood) and can only then - after integrating - unlock and access the healthy habits routine otherwise they will be helplessly stuck in undermining themselves.

But I agree not everyone needs to confront their demons - so to speak before trying out straightforward methods from behavioral therapy. If you are open and/or desperate enough, you will know if that is the case, is an organic process, albeit very painful.
