Every pursuit is a distraction until you die. There is no intrinsic meaning to life, you just do whatever you can to keep a steady release of dopamine in your brain. For some people that's watching television, for other people it's Family, for others it might be practicing musical instrument, the list goes on and on but it's purely subjective.
ChatGPT isn’t just using plain GPT-4, it’s using a specific pre-prompt and possibly additional fine-tuning (which I’m not sure about) compared to the plain GPT-4, available through API.

Someone saying ChatGPT4 is just saying in shorthand, the ChatGPT model based off GPT-4
Hmm, so while he was busy optimizing and learning and tweaking his keyboard setup, others invent game changing programming languages like Go, and then also write text editors that make heavy use of the mouse, and of mouse chording:

http://acme.cat-v.org/

So I’m sceptical whether this approach of spending ages on this really is that productive, cost-benefit-wise. Usually it doesn’t stop there, but this optimization becomes obsessive and conpulsive too often. Especially if they then also feel like they need to advertise for it in blog posts. Just the fact that the author thinks a mouse clutters up his desk seems to me like such a first world problem and a sign of lack of resilliency for real life. And before you know it your entire diet consists of vanilla ice cream, you pee in milk bottles that you collect, and you run strings through your house to erect borders for germ-free zones.

Besides it decreases compatibility and flexibility. “Oh, I need to do some Magic SysRQ shortcut. Oh, my keyboard doesn’t have the SysRQ key!” … “Oh, I need to ssh to a box to fix something. Oh, I’m so used to my heavily optimized nvim that I can’t operate the normal vi anymore!” … “Oh, I need to do some image manipulation. Oh, I have to spend 3 days learning and troubleshooting some GIMP keyboard shortcuts!” … “Oh, I need to connect to some completely out of date Java Applet based IPMI tool. Oh, to attach an iso image to it I need an obscure shortcut which I can’t do with my keyboard!”

I mean if none of these things ever happen, and one’s computer life is in such a narrow bubble that one can survive an entire year without it, then good for them, but I think for 99% of IT professionals it is either not worth it or impossible, and therefore irrelevant.

That same trader whom I wrote about in here:

https://albertcory50.substack.com/p/how-about-not-overcoming...

was on a trip in Africa where the tourists were, uncharacteristically, allowed to hike instead of riding in a truck. They found out why it's not usually done when a hippo came charging around a bend and took a huge chunk out of a hiker's leg. She would have bled to death had there not been a trained nurse in the party.

Hippos are aggressive even if you're not bothering them.
> Attorneys for Elk Mountain Ranch owner Fred Eshelman last week designated real estate agent James Rinehart of Laramie as an expert witness in Eshelman’s civil suit against the hunters

Nothing more credible than a local real estate agent being paid to serve as an expert witness by the prosecution team of a guy that owns a 22,045-acre ranch! He probably had a sniper dot on his forehead during the testimony.
Yes a public access easement should suffice, similar to how beaches are defied in some areas, waterways usually are. But how big is reasonable? Is it for vehicle access and/or larger equipment or only human sized objects?

I did something very similar. Assembly was not my first language (it was my 4th), but I decided to learn it by writing a compiler and linker in it.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

> The goal is not to program in assembly at all but to truely understand the cost of everything and what you can expect from your hardware.

Entirely this. Also, to help you understand more deeply how computers really work.

That said, being able to program in assembly is still of great use to me. I do it to this day, usually on ARM processors -- not entire programs anymore, but critical parts.
The article is obviously about postwar art.
Making nails out of sheet aluminum is engineering. It's not very pretty, doesn't require much mechanical knowledge and is wholly unimpressive, but it's still solidly an engineering-based effort.

I'd wager most people would call certain individuals like Dennis Ritchie and John Carmack true software engineers. In a reductive sense, writing a makefile for someone else's project or scratching an itch with a Python script is the nail-making of the software world. "Anyone" can do it, but it shouldn't be treated as a lesser form of engineering just because it's not elaborate or pretty.
Having eagerly bought the Quest 2 as a first-time VR enthusiast, I don't think I'll be buying the Quest 3, or any other headset for a while.

Quant trader here... I'm a big seller of this list. Making money tends to be a relatively empirical endeavor. It's all about having information about the future and using that in judiciously way and less so about any particular theory or model. I see someone else mentioning Grinold and Khan "Active Portfolio Management", I can't recommend it enough, it's basically a how to for making money quantitatively in a principled way, there are lots of "tips and tricks" that go on top of this and it really helps to have some good intuition for the space you are trying to operate in (by that I mean understanding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of your risk matrix). T-costs are also extremely important and the main "enemy" it's trivial to make money if you don't have to pay to trade.

Steven Boyd at Stanford and his students / colleagues are probably the richest seam of up to date portfolio optimization wisdom. If you are using python you shoult probably be using CVXPY to build your portfolio. He has lots of good papers, e.g. see [2].

Of course you also need an "edge", that information about the future, and that's the jealously guarded part...

The USAF created a simulation to test how an AI controlled F-16 would behave in various combat situations. The AI was incentivized to complete its mission. Recognizing that the human in loop was the weakest link the real AI in the simulation killed its simulated human handler.
When instructed to stop killing its human in loop handler, it destroyed the control tower the human used to interact with it.

The US military is playing with fire creating AI that will carry out the mission at all costs. This scenario is literally the plot of EVERY sci-fi warning about misused AI.

I buy things produced by companies know to make use of slave labor and pollute the environment. I enjoy art made by people that honestly deserve to be punched in the face everyday.

It's not about being proud or ashamed about anything there. If the powers that be refuse to punish people and corporations that deserve to be punished, I think it's ultimately unfair to offload that responsibility onto consumers.

It's a good question but I don't think there's any good answer other than "1-0 or 2-0 doesn't feel like punishment enough". Interesingly, for two-legged cup competitions a forfeit likely won't result in a 3-0 loss, but a disqualification instead. So if you're winning 4-0 or 5-0 and can't be bothered showing up for the return fixture, you can't just forfeit and win 4-3 or 5-3 on aggregate, you have to fulfil the fixture.

And additionally, not showing up for a game might not even cause you to forfeit. Estonia didn't turn up to a European Qualifier against my national team, we didn't get a walkover and had to replay (which we won 1-0): https://twitter.com/90sfootball/status/1297216969326780416

Most freezing situations are blocking the UI thread, which should already be handled by the "Not Responding" dialog. I can't think of many cases where you'd want to terminate an application that isn't frozen instead of exiting it normally.
And doing that should be condemned, especially that in this case it is mostly to further corporate interest.

I think my comment was misinterpreted, judging by both comments to it.

What I meant to say, wrist straps were not even on my radar of aesthetics, and I was shocked to learn it’s a $1B business (for Apple alone?). So clearly, I missed how much they mean to people.

Obviously, I (and pretty much everyone else) do buy things at least partially influenced by aesthetics (clothing, sunglasses, furniture, to name a few). Wrist straps were a huge surprise for me, though. Another one is paying a premium for different colored phones (and I admit I was first in line to pay a premium for a jet black RAZR phone back in the day)
Best Open source LLM and embeddings
Hi, I have been asked to create a "chat with your documents" kind of product, but using open source LLM's, locally stored on a users desktop. Kind of like privategpt.io.

Embeddings have also to be created/queried on a user's desktop.

Is there any LLM and embeddings comparable to Open AI's products? My use case is for lawyers, so cant use Open AI, as they cant upload their documents on any server at all, everything has to be in house.

Is privategpt good enough, or is it just garbage, full of hallucinations? Will there be something for my use case available in a few months?
I won't buy it either way. I simply can't afford it :) With wages as they are here in Southern Europe it's a non-starter. But I hope their paradigm works out so I can get it from another company or maybe someone ports it to the Oculus Quest. Freely placing windows in space instead of "desktops" or "screens" makes much more sense in VR.

That's cool. The Dadaists and some Surrealists were doing stuff like that intentionally, trying to make art devoid of an artist, or of intent.

U.S. Buying Terminals SpaceX for Ukrainian Military–Despite Clash over Funding
I vehemently disagree with this notion.

In the case of Blizzard, I won't play Diablo 4 because I really think they have been making shit games for more than a decade. But I don't fault anyone that will play Diablo 4. People like what they like.

The cases of abuse and harassment at Blizzard are known and well documented. If the powers that be refuse to act in order to punish the people and corporation involved, why do we offload that responsibility onto consumers?
They just put out a blog post about how they’re doing exactly that by rewarding chain of thought style reasoning.
I don’t think it’s a serious limitation though, since the open-source LLMs like Alpaca/LLaMA have already “won” the mass adoption among engineers, and are only getting better (already better than GPT4 in some areas).
Recently tried Wordpress again, thinking maybe it has matured.

Terrible idea, terrible platform. For example, you want metadata on posts, you install ACF. You want to filter on that metadata, good luck if it's over a couple filters simultaneously, the SQL queries will time out. You're guaranteed to need different tweaks that get dumped into a scripts file, feels like patterns from 20 years ago. There are some people trying to untangle the Wordpress trash pile by refactoring and bolting Laravel onto it[1], but every layer is just a nightmare; the authors of different parts can barely assess why things randomly break.

You might find WP appealing for the plugin ecosystem, but the plugins are completely random in implementation, so you're likely to get a bloated scramble of CSS and JS pushed to your users.

I moved to Directus and Astro, but I would probably use a Laravel-based CMS like October or Statamic for more generalized PHP deployment.

I don't understand all these articles that base their argument on total replacement of the writers, or whichever profession. The true value in the current AI is augmentation of the user's abilities. A writer that was able to write one story can now write multiple stories given the same time. AI will change the way writer's work, that's an absolute truth, and therefore be a success as far as saving money. What I suspect will happen is that we'll see a lot of average scripts that will have a sameness about them. The diamonds will be even harder to find. We are seeing some of that play out with music. Music has had a lot of automation introduced into it over the last few decades which has made modern songs very similar to each other in each genre. I suspect we'll see the same happen to the writing of scripts.

Except that we literally have a different term for that: "shared source"
I understand your definition. The problem is that not everyone agrees with it. This is a great example of why I don't use the term -- there is no longer a real consensus on what it means, exactly.
Your post is the one getting buried because you're the one who broke the rules. All sides of such stories are off topic in these threads.

I don't think this is so hard to understand? The only way to have a chance at fairly evaluating such claims would be to have all sides make their case and then have the community hash it out. Who Is Hiring threads are obviously not the place for that.
> If I can view the source code, it's open source

The whole point of this discussion is that this term is contentious. Your comment reads to me as dismissive of the arguments/context/nuance without engaging in a dialog.

Especially as a reply to the GP who essentially says "I stopped using the term open source because it was problematic."
The keywords are "reasonable accommodation". E.g. in California if you have a property near a beach that completely blocks access, you have to provide a reasonable way to it.

And there's no need to shrink all the plots if there's a reasonable way already present.
Eh, not really. If I try and store a local (time zone naive) datetime from EST, it will be "converted" (read: interpreted as) UTC. Well that's bad, because:

- It doesn't know I was using EST, so it's off by 5 hours now.

- If I ever want to do math across the DST switch, I can't, because my original tzinfo was lost.

It's not wholly unreasonable to want to avoid time zones, but personally I think you should always be time zone aware and build it into your app in a reasonable way, though I recognize that's easier said than done. Mostly I guess my feeling is "get over it" though haha.
This is the first and only time I've heard that term used.
You have to break down a problem to GPT just like you would to a human, and if it misunderstands you or asks you, you'd have to elaborate just the same. It's modeled after us, after all. The rubber duck is a stand-in for a human. GPT also is. But just a vastly better one.
Yeah, characterising that as rage quitting is disinformation. When an organisation clearly supports misconduct by an institutionally powerful figure it is correct to call into question whether the organisation itself should continue to receive support. I'm certainly never giving a cent to the FSF ever again.

Auto-vectorization is easier to get into than other SIMD-frameworks like CUDA, OpenCL, ROCm, Intel's ISPC and whatnot. But in my experience, auto-vectorizers are just not as flexible as the proper SIMD-tools.

I'd say auto-vectorization should still be learned by modern high-performance programmers, because its very low-hanging fruit. You barely have to do anything and suddenly your for-loops are AVX512 optimized, though maybe not to the fullest extent possible.

Still, I suggest that programmers also learn how to properly make SIMD code. Maybe intrinsics are too hard in practice, but ISPC, CUDA, and other SIMD-programming environments make things far easier to learn than you might expect.

------------

ISPC in particular is Intel's SIMD programming language, much akin to CUDA except it compiles into AVX512. So for AVX512-like code execution environments, using the ISPC language/compiler is exceptionally useful.

Its harder to learn a new language than to learn a few compiler-options to enable auto-vectorization however. So in practice, auto-vectorization will continue to be used. But for tasks that specifically would benefit from SIMD-thinking, the dedicated ISPC language should be beneficial.

Diablo Immortal makes more than any other game they've made.

So, the shittier something is (ethically, substantively), the more money it makes. Money really is the root of all evil.

Therefore, boycotting something because it's bad makes less sense than buying it because it's bad.

QED
It actually depends. The type of keyboard is not necessarily as important as the manner in which you depress the keys. RSI is usually caused by performing an action that isolates a muscular movement.

So for example, you might have a mechanical keyboard which may have a longer vertical travel, but if you depress the keys through the usage of the weight of the arm and let gravity do some of the work, you might be able to ameliorate some of the potential causes of RSI.

Source: studied ergonomics including the Alexander technique and Taubman for piano, some of which applies to computer keyboards.
Yes, but Wordpress is substantially less useful if you avoid using plugins. I dropped wordpress because it was more effort than it was worth to deal with the issue.
It does not actually mean much. These chatbots can easily output JavaScript using var where it absolutely should not. It being aware of the latest standards does not mean it can properly use the new syntax or features -- it emits a form of whatever crappy/legacy code it was trained on.
