A Personal Retrospective on Prophet
Meanwhile, last week in NYC: https://secretnyc.co/nyc-air-quality-photos/

Cool and normal! Nothing to see here, folks.

But of course, the planet is fine! The people are f'ed! The planet's not going anywhere, we are! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmo8sh77G6Y
"The perfect outcome is text identical to the training set."

Huh? If the LLM was only ever spitting back identical content straight from the training set, that would be a symptom of extreme overfitting, which everyone universally agrees is a bad thing — not a perfect thing.
There was a backpack for that Mac form factor. I believe that makes it a 'luggable' though, not a portable.
Our government starting giving away money long before Covid lockdowns.

What is inflation? It’s prices going up. Or quality of service going down while priced the same. What is “supply chain disruption”, now? It is: you should pay more for the same delivery service, or if you refuse - your delivery will be delayed. “It’s not inflation, it’s just supply chain disruption” - was a political slogan then. No need to repeat it now: inflation is officially here already.
For simple, mostly-static pages, go right ahead. For dynamic pages with a lot of interactions... jQuery doesn't scale so well.
I feel like a large part of embedded is just telling people to stop counting BOM pennies and buy COTS. It ends up cheaper a shocking majority of the time. I've toyed around with the idea of moving up the stack, but I don't know if pushing protobufs around full-time is any less tedious.
Update antitrust regulation for modern times and close loopholes; actually break up effective monopolies. Especially in the essential services sectors.
Should have gone for washing machines. That would be more relevant and likely a use case for this type of vehicle.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, you and others are saying that posting racial slurs, CP and gore for shock value are an integral part of the culture?

I don't understand why it's important to be flamed at all by people who are anonymous? I might banter with friends, but there's a shared history of understanding there; in an anonymous message board there's none of that so I don't understand what it's trying to achieve?
They've adjusted it since when it was first released. Here's the current page about it now though:

Not OP. But applies to long term support, remember the loooong overdesigned redesign? Yeah, don't do that and rather make small quick improvements. "OH you found a typo in our config format? Update it and it'll ship in the next patch". Instead of "naw it's fine, leave it we're rewriting the configuration subsystem in that fancy new yaml/json format".
It seems like a job for information theory? What do LLMs look like from an information theoretic viewpoint? One gets the feeling that LLMs could be treated as a channel through which information is flowing and some very general statements be made about error rates and the relationship between inputs and outputs.

High-performance error correcting codes have the property that the closer they operate to the Shannon Limit, the better they perform when below the limit but the more dramatically they fail when the limit is exceeded. Gut feeling says the same should be true for LLMs: as the model/compression ratio gets better, and a "Shannon Limit" is approached, they should perform better but fail more spectacularly if the limit is exceeded.

The link between neural nets and information theory is well known, but there don't seem to be many results out there for LLMs. No doubt there are rooms full of PhD students working on it?

This is such a simple answer: NO. Not sure why we need to overcomplicate. The Fed's dual mandate is maximum employment and price stability. The best monetary policy lever to affect this is by adjusting the federal funds rate. This only has a limited effect on price stability. The basket of goods which makes up the Consumer Price Index includes many items which are inelastic. If prices of shelter, transportation and food go up, people still need to consume them to survive. These prices are influenced by many other geopolitical factors (war in Ukraine, housing policy, labor supply, etc) and thus interest rates only have a limited ability to "fix" inflation.
2016 was not 10y ago tho.
One of the points of writing with a nice, thick fountain pen is that you can vary the line width quite a bit while you are writing, by applying more pressure on the nib. This leads to more pleasant calligraphy than you can ever get with a rollerball.

Definitely would prefer the map (and associated pages/possibly form in future) to the be main interface.

The Google Form makes it very easy to bootstrap collecting emails (reliably) to prevent any spam that may be submitted, but it's long and confusing to new users (already got that feedback).

Ideally in future you could click on an intersection on the map, use a timer in the page (could optimise the UX), associate an email address with a one time code (on first load/if no cookie) then submit (with the OSM node ID already filled in so I don't have to manually update that).

So that would be the long term roadmap - if it gets enough traction and I have time!
Having been on the other side of this - often times our users are unhappy with the unfinished features, but our customers are delighted.

That is to say, the CxO or director we've sold to has everything on their checklist and is getting "good enough" results out of their organization. Our job is to understand which of the unfinished features will cause grumbling and which will motivate users to convince an executive to switch to a competitor. It's very unusual for the former to ever be worth prioritizing.
>This is just reviews with the word "uplifting". Many of the comments with "uplifting" is just saying it is not uplifting.

I noted that when I posted the link. But at least half are saying it is uplifting.

I obviously can't argue further as I haven't read it. I will remark that different people will react to the same material variously uplifted or beaten-down, and neither reaction is less valid (unless they just misunderstood the plot). Personally, I tend to find depictions of nobility and perseverance in the face of imminent doom interesting and moving if not uplifting.
I dislike that I have to make an effort to entertain myself during downtimes, but this is an excellent exercise for a future where reddit execs might just have made the site unusable for me.
It’s certainly been worth it. For better or for worse, the .com projects a level of professionalism the .io does not. We work with many large companies, and I’m absolutely confident we’ve made our money back on it.
Why do that, when you can just present the surplus/deficit coldest-sunniest day in late spring and pretend it is an essential aspect of all renewable generation?
That is very dependent on the consumed quantity, and the time of consumption.

And is nothing compared to the next most frequently used drugs, alcohol and nicotine, hell it has plenty of positive effects.

So my initial statement I believe still stands that humanity could hardly happen upon another substance that they could use in such a huge amounts with minimal negatives.
In your example, how can the compiler (or a human) know that int is a concrete type as opposed to an unconstrained type variable?

Consider these two function signatures:

map :: ([a] -> [a])

map :: ([int] -> [int])

Furthermore the syntax that Elixir uses here let's you do something like

map :: (list(a) -> list(b))

list_to_other_data_structure :: (list(a) -> other_data_structure(a))

It all reminds me a bit of how Haskell does it https://medium.com/functional/haskell-basic-types-and-type-v...

I'm now curious to know if/how the above 'generics' would be expressed in TypeScript/Python/Go without a similar 'type constructor' syntax construct?

If it would weigh anything, this alone would be worth its weight in gold.
Organizing the continued blackout on Reddit is a bad look. I know it's not their aim, but it seems like "users should be prevented from using reddit, but us mods are exempt."

That said, short of preemptively having coordinated something, I don't know where else they'd organize. Particularly as I'm unaware of any real "leaders" to this movement.
YMMV, but the rice cooker is mostly collecting dust since I got and Instant Pot. Why? The IP is much faster than a rice cooker. Also, the inner vessel is more durable - it's stainless steel (as opposed to the non-stick coating in the rice cooker), so no worries about scratches, dishwasher, etc... .
This could have been an interesting technical discussion of potential failure modes in data safety, but holy shit this guy is immediately full of himself. Seems like he just wants to start internet fights and pat himself on the back about it. Hard Pass.
They just need a dockerfile that builds correctly. No need to make an image available, the dockerfile should be able to build it consistently
I've at this point needed to convert projects between Eagle, KiCAD, OrCAD, and a few others.

I've seen Altium do decent at open EagleCAD. I've seen KiCAD do much better at opening EagleCAD. I assume KiCAD and EagleCAD work decently well with one another's file formats due to both being text based and documented.

That said, no matter how much someone paid for the software being converted from or to, I've yet to see a project that wasn't better served by starting from scratch and reproducing the design. Each tool just has a somewhat different paradigm (or default grid spacing or whatever) and like... EagleCAD symbols imported into Altium work they just suck. For example.

I've been dealing with this mess for a while. My colleague has decades worth of PCB designs trapped in OrCAD pre-cadence. I've been pushing him to EagleCAD, and have been pushing myself towards KiCAD for over a year. Now I'm telling him "hey, it's closer to orcad" and "the HTML BOM will make your life way easier training grad students" and "the package library is way more reliable" and these are legitimate honest-to-god features that are convincing to an experienced designer.

You see enough proprietary tools like this get the death knell and you learn to recognize the signs I guess. This one was pretty obvious and thankfully y'all have three years to download KiCAD ASAP, use it for every single project from here on out, gradually transition legacy documents in every CAD system to KiCAD. For once in my life I'll have some well-grounded confidence that my designs are safe and highly likely to still be usable in ten years when I badly need to debug them and create a new board revision.
I'll preface that, since I haven't actually taken any of these courses, I lack the full nuance to be able to make as faithful of a judgement as someone who actually attended these universities.

That being said, I've certainly heard of Berkeley's CS61A, and in particular, Brown's usage of the Pyret language. From what I've gleaned from Brown's curriculum, it looks extremely solid for a one-semester course! Everything from K-means to BST invariants to graphs to DP. One question I would be interested in is how "naturally" the progression arises, as the class goes from topic to topic, as I don't necessarily immediately see the thesis of the course, but that may just be a preference in how I teach. I feel like 15-150 has a very clear and obvious story to how it progresses.

Berkeley's 61A, B, C progression looks solid in terms of how it slowly unravels the state of the world to students. In terms of specifically 61A, I might hesitate a little bit at teaching higher-order functions to first-time programmers in the second week, but again, I don't really have the full context to know how successfully that usually goes. In terms of topics, it looks more object-oriented than either 150 or Brown (in that 150 is not whatsoever, and Brown does not seem to be). Personally, I fear that OOP can lead you to too much focusing on specific machinery (inheritance, `self`, method resolution) as opposed to general programming concepts, like algebraic data, recursion, or compositional thinking. It has its place, but I prefer fundamentals to specific tools.

With respect to your question about intro level courses, personally I believe they're of utmost importance. CMU SCS's success as an educational institution is in absolutely no small part due to the fact that the school's intro courses are _chiefly_ run by undergraduate TAs, and so the undergraduate course sequence is one of the strongest you can find anywhere in the world. In just the first six courses, which earns a CS minor at CMU, a student becomes most formidable. By contrast, 70% of what I learned in upper-level courses at CMU, I do not use at my day job (except for compilers).

and

> Behind the fear of releasing is often the fear of exposing your work, and yourself, to criticism.

When I plan to release my project's source code, it has helped me to release parts of the project up front as single-purpose libraries. This helps me think in smaller chunks of work, and makes me feel like I'm finishing more often. It also shortens the feedback cycle.
As a non-native English speaker, I still find it difficult to read texts where a singular person is referred to by a plural pronoun. Every "they" becomes ambiguous and requires more mental cycles to unpack. Is it about Morgan, or some unrelated group of people, or Morgan plus the group?

I understand the cultural reasons, but I regret the loss of linguistic clarity.
Which would be a form of AOP that mostly emerged after the AOP hype of the late nineties. I was looking at things like aspect oriented programming and subject oriented programming around 1999-2000 time frame as part of my phh d thesis work. There were a few interesting derivatives.

The main aspectj work sort of folded into the spring framework which still uses some parts of that as part of the annotation processing in e.g. hibernate. That's the main reason, it bundles byte code manipulation libraries. So it can weave in some aspects. But most of the aspectj language level features never really became a mainstream thing.

Decorators, annotations, and similar language constructs emerged as a good enough thing that did most of what AOP was trying to accomplish. Python added those around 2003. Java gained annotations with Java 1.5 which was a few years after that. Other languages use macros or similar features to achieve the same thing. Mostly good enough though IMHO people over use them.

BTW. if you are into functional programming, this should feel really wrong. Basically you are deliberately adding side effects to your code by saying around or before/after a call to this, also do that. Of course the goto functional programming solution of monads has its own issues in terms of complexity, philosophical debates, and people having a hard time understanding them. The researchers in Utrecht where I studied in the mid nineties were into monads big time. My compiler course was basically about the compiler generator technology they were working on. Monads top to bottom. I liked aspectj a lot better after that. Easier to grasp for my primitive brain.
It caused asset inflation for 10 years.

Housing, the stock market, crypto.

Supply of goods and services could mostly keep up with any increased demand so you didn't see inflation so obviously there.
It's kinda dumb to go private as a protest, because visiting the home page as a lurker, there's no indication that anything is happening - just a different mix of subreddits hitting the default feed

It's a little quieter, I kinda like it.
What are you talking about? How are the mods exempt from the blackout? You think all community mods can see all the private subreddits?
> because if you memcpy pointers they would cause structure sharing, that I'm trying to avoid, hence a deep clone.

I'm probably that guy that pipes up when he doesn't know what he's talking about but.

You can store offsets instead of pointers. You can then just memcpy the whole thing and it'll just work as long as everything is self contained.

This will fail. No one really cares about subreddit ABC and some will even be glad they can't compulsively look at it.
Yes, KiBot is awesome. Just yesterday I saw that I can panelize my PCBs in my CI pipline!

Love this. I wish we saw reactions like this during the various Facebook scandals.
> The local Wikipedia says nuclear ramps up or down at 5%/min. This is faster than any other method of generation.

How is paying extra to ramp at 5%/min once a day "faster than" being able to switch off in seconds and back on in a minute like a wind turbine, or turn on and off in milliseconds as many times as you like like a PV inverter or even stopping starting in minutes like a reciprocating or OCGT peaker or ramping 0-100% in minutes repeatedly like hydro?
> The link discovery and discussion are one and the same because they are being driven by the same community.

I don't think they necessarily have to be the same thing, but the voting for links to bring quality ones to the top, and the choosing of which site to be looking at today is very much like having a TV channel.

Lots of people find themselves watching films that are being aired on specific channels, despite the fact that they had access to that film for years on a streaming service and didn't watch it. I think of the link discovery aspect of Reddit as similar to an aggregated DJ or TV channel.
He doesn't want to see it. It will ruin his investments now that crypto is no good.
Can anyone explain how much pressure and where it comes from for the “raise revenue at all costs” pre-IPO. Is it common for other companies to shoot themselves in the foot by layoffs and policy changes that alienate users? Just feels like no one was smart enough to say “we can try and raise revenue by doing this, but we could lose everything” - maybe companies just constantly forget how defiant and fickle the internet can be.
This is a well writed explanation!

I wrote a short news about the emulator on the french collaborative website linuxfr.org
(see https://linuxfr.org/news/un-emulateur-et-un-desassembleur-ri...)

I would like to translate your comment and add it. Can I ?
They developer isn't complaining, why are you? Maybe you can create something, opensource it MIT, and then complain.

Yea, definitely more of a mod revolt than a user revolt

I feel like a lot of users have had it up to here with mod abuse too, maybe smaller subreddits with less automation would be preferable to mega reddits with bots that auto-ban you for being new to the community
Ah thanks for the tip! And FWIW I think you picked a great time to ship, it's really a great MVP.
This is a bit devil’s advocate, but if you accept higher profiteering has been happening, and that this has fuelled inflation data (higher prices effectively devaluing the purchasing power of the $), and that this has led to increased interest rates, has the decision to not intervene (and I’m not saying the GP’s comment is the only way, nor my preferred way) effectively led to “the financial and monetary system” taking more of people’s private assets across the board either by devaluing the worth of their existing dollars and/or, for those with lines of credit, actively “taxing” new dollars they get through higher rates. Not to mention the likely resulting impact on small businesses as investment and consumer $ tighten up, and people who will presumably start losing jobs as the intended impact of these monetary levers hit.

I know the US system is a little different with long-term fixed mortgages, but for much of the world on variable interest rates, central bank decisions have an almost next day impact on income (and a fairly near term impact for those able to lock-in rates for a couple years).

It’s not quite as active as the government seizing assets, and I agree from a liberty perspective in governments not doing that, but from a purely rational perspective if I was presented the option of “once off wealth tax to erode the savings everyone accumulated during Covid (or even better put them into a long-term bond that will be released during a future deflationary period)” and the situation we have right now where they’re netting the same outcome slowly, in the process enabling privileged parties along the way to benefit through siphoning off as the policy levers squeeze, I’m given some pause.
Gotcha, that all makes sense. We’ll be making it faster shortly. And we’ll look into making it easier to set as the default on Safari.
To downvoters - I didn't say it should fail, simply that it will. Reddit might fail as well.
Could the 3rd-party apps allow users to config API keys? That would distribute the cost.
Perhaps looking towards the promised land of a practical macro and micro arch defensible in the real world, then start with a minimal ISA that can most readily implement a capabilities secure kernel like seL4. Too many features are a problem.
Ugh still 50k for a car. Why can we have a basic car like this for like 10-20k?
"Already gunfire was general within the tent..." That line encapsulates so much.

That said, short of preemptively having coordinated something, I don't know where else they'd organize.

Then instead of saying how bad of a look it is, perhaps lament that there isn't a better alternative to organize. A place where reddit both absolutely knows what is going on (after all, they can look at their own subs), the public can see what is going on, and where all the mods would know to go.

Seriously. This complaint is about as fruitless as complaining that a poor person isn't paying for the 12 pack of toilet paper when they only have money for the 4 pack while now knowing how they are supposed to afford the cheaper-per-roll 12 pack.
And yet, america uses much more. Shouldn't that give you a pause? :)

Jokes aside, you're describing a correlation. America does not seem "more civilized" to me, you guys are just wasteful. Wasted energy does not lead to more civilization.
But try searching the internet for any topic, seeing a good reddit page, clicking on it, and then realising - "oh wait, it's locked" - and then having to scramble to find a cached version of the page
>The doomers have to mathematically prove that AI will kill humanity.

No, since almost all AI inventors and foundeds signed saying there is grave risk, the non dormers should mathematically prove we will not all die, not vice versa. The pharmaceuticals need to prove drug is harmless not the FDA to prove it is harmful!
Now imagine it's nothing like plumbing!
