Of related interest, here is an old CIA.gov webpage giving an account (from the CIA, keep in mind..) of the United States' realization that the Soviet Union was building the Alfa class of submarine with titanium hulls, which many people believed wasn't possible for various reasons (the difficulty of shaping and welding huge pieces of titanium in dirty shipyards, titanium alloys supposedly dissolving in sea water, etc): https://web.archive.org/web/20080919231406/https://www.cia.g...
Another exciting effort is marine sanctuaries in which no one can fish. They tend to be places which are critical ecology for nurturing juveniles of indigenous species, which provides improved opportunities to compete with invasive species and ultimately provides substantial breeding stock for surrounding ecosystems.

There is one near my city and the overflow of life is incredible. Diving near it is like an entirely different world from the areas around it which are far more exposed to noise, pollution, fishing, and so on. It’s very encouraging to see how strong marine ecosystems can be when they’re properly left alone.
The problem isn’t that the story is suspicious, but that only the cached thumbnail version is around, and we can’t make out the letters on the mug.
> DoS should be legalized IMO... If a company cannot mitigate a DoS or DDoS attack and stay profitable, it's their own fault. Their fault for not designing their software properly and their fault for accumulating too many enemies.

Getting DoS-ed is sufficient "punishment" for not being able to mitigate a DoS. "their fault for accumulating too many enemies" is dubious considering that one "enemy" is enough for a DoS and that the DoS-er might not actually have something personal against the target.

> DDoS is just freedom of speech. Just some people have louder voices than others which is not a foreign concept to the rest of us.

I wouldn't characterize a DoS-er as "the one with the louder voice". I hope you don't think doxxing and revenge porn should be legal too. Anyway, there's the saying "My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins."

Google’s interview process puts immense emphasis on doing thorough system design.

Additionally, in contrast with companies who do ask hacker rank questions, Google only asks novel, unique questions that are not on leetcode or hackkerrank, prizing creativity in problem solving over memorizing.

Finally, since everything is reviewed by a hiring committee, there’s almost no chance of nepotism or someone playing favorites for whatever reason.

When I interviewed at Microsoft, I was asked to implement numerous classic CS algorithms, not disguised even remotely. With google, none of the coding questions were anywhere to be found on the internet.

Big organizations tend to follow regression of the mean, but at FAANG i’ve yet to see see the absolute bottom of the barrel that

Certainly small companies have top tier talent as well as google and other FAANGs, but there’s remarkably little bureaucracy at FAANGs as well. It sounds like you’ve developed your opinion from a vocal minority that have left in anger rather than first hand experience.
I believe the issue was not a lack of computational power, but rather that people at the time didn't think large models with many parameters would effect meaningful change. This was even true three years ago, albeit on a different scale. As Ilya Sutskever expressed, people were not convinced there was still room to increase the scale. For the status quo to shift, two things could happen: a substantial reduction in computing costs, making large-scale experiments less a matter of conviction and more a matter of course; or the emergence of individuals with the resources and conviction to undertake larger experiments.

I agree there probably is an interesting story, but it’s also worth noting the things that weren’t true back in the 60s. I found some old declassified CIA reports that suggest the USSR controlled 70% of world titanium production, and that this was five times US production. Patents for the processes used in Australian production appear to date from 1960 onwards, and there is also a note that 80% of the titanium bought for these aircraft was rejected due to impurities.

Putting all those things together I would guess that they could not get enough titanium without getting it from the USSR, and that they would have had to use a front company in any event as they had not publicly acknowledged the aircraft’s development.

The more I read things written by right leaning people, the more I realize that they stopped caring about facts and correctness (a term they've made derogatory to the extent that it's difficult to use it literally) and instead think that emotion and name calling are all the response any discourse require.

Flourishes are the right of all opinions and writing, but "cancel those with views they disapprove of", "effeminate and conformist" intellectuals (who, incidentally, aren't worth "winning over" by discourse and persuasive argument), "make sure AI doesn’t say anything politically incorrect", "shutting down woke activism", show that this author has substantially more names to call than articulable arguments. Also, the idea that there's an argument to be made that the "tech right" is somehow legitimized by a collection of tech bros who happen to lean that way isn't the compelling argument the author might think it is.

The author doesn't improve from there. This article appears to offer little more than emotional reasoning for justifying ridiculous assertions, sometimes in stark and direct opposition to the actual world (embracing gender spectrum is actually part of transhumanism and extropianism, not discouraged by it - duh!). The author tries to rationalize eugenics ("strong genetic basis" for things that have been proven precisely the opposite), and repeatedly attempts to put words and intent in others' mouths.

In other words, it doesn't go anywhere and lacks any real content.

> "CISC CPUs and RISC CPUs both just decode instructions into microcode and then execute that" is probably a more accurate but less "memeable" expression of that idea.

That’s not very accurate either. Most instructions are not implemented in microcode. Only rare or complex instructions are.
Most algorithm driven tech content is bullshit. Especially YouTube tech content.

They must produce or die, so, soon enough, it's bullshit coming out.
I think it is fine for Open Source software to behave as you describe. It is much more difficult for a commercial service. Any kind is service would be borderline but charging money for it pushes it over the edge in my view.

At the very least, I think you would need two entities where one creates the software and other one hosts it. That way “the service” is hosting the software and not the specific features that the software provides.

Plex mixes both and so downloading the video files becomes part of the commercial service they are offering. Providing commercial access to somebody else’s copyright sounds illegal to me.

I'm curious whose telling you not to roll your own auth. I've worked on far more software that handles its own auth than integrates with Okta/Keycloak/Whatever.

> And to complete the loop, Russia is now importing sanctioned American microchips for its missiles via third parties.

I think they were doing exactly that back then too. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
"finance tech" -- those people maintaining those systems are middle-aged, comfortable, and well-paid. If you were junior under them, you would never want to stay. Fifteen years ago, there were large fresh hire classes each year. Tons of juniors around the office. Plenty of young ones dreaming up unnecessary "upgrades". Most of that is gone as the industry has matured. If anything, the hoards of junior hires have moved from finance to Big Tech.

Their idea is that you won't ever need your UI to be this bright, I guess? It's Apple, that's what they do — they build things that work optimally for most people. They aren't wrong about it in this particular case either. The MacBook Pro display does get bright enough for me as is to be readable in direct sunlight.

But if you do want to "use the full potential of your hardware", there was some third-party app that used private APIs to set the screen brightness above that limit. I don't remember its name.

He meant that HTMX can work with a backend written in any language/framework. It doesn't constrain you to use any specific server-side tech.
I disagree that this is the case; decomposing into microservices doesn’t mean that the functionality within a service boundary is trivial and easy to rewrite.
Maybe it would be more clear if you specified salary is in exchange for a certain minimum amount of output, then I would kinda agree. But then you also are expected be at work for the remainder of your contractual work hours. So it’s not as easy as saying one or the other is completely true, it’s a mixture of both time and output

> it's not impressive that ChatGPT is simply regurgitating stuff it knows about.

to me it is. unless i misunderstand LLMs, they're trained on data. i couldn't train a neural network to figure out how to do y = x * 2.

how is it able to recite with 100% accuracy (instead of sub-100% accuracy, aka hallucination) based on "i predict this next word/punctuation in the sentence should be the highest scoring token given the relevant content"

imagine having their massive index and being able to serve relevant content just from a "postgres" or "redis" cache/database perspective. even looking up content at that scale 1:1 is "hard".
Plain systemd can run docker containers, and keep them up if they crash. (Yes, systemd can be a useful thing sometimes!)

Also, Docker and Podman know how to restart containers if needed, depending on a policy you set.

If you want something even smaller, take https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap or https://github.com/arachsys/containers and run them under the process monitor of your choice, like runit or s6.
I hate to be the one to break it to you but if you've already provided a contact method for a salesperson you can tell them "no I never want to be offered this again" directly to their face, and what they actually hear is "maybe later". Because maybe you won't change your mind but as a general rule people do change their mind and a high percentage of sales is being there at the right time with the offer.
They actually loaded the pizzas into the plane uncooked and relied on aerodynamic heating to cook it in flight.
They also make hilly terrain trivial and some have more storage than a normal bike. I use mine as a commuting vehicle and my normal one as more of a sports vehicle now. I take my normal bike if I'm going only one place and don't need to carry more than a small bag. I can get nearly a week's worth of groceries on my ebike and the motor means I don't have to worry about the weight and the hill I have to go up to get home. I think class one and maybe class two e-bikes could be in the same tier as normal bikes but class three and maybe class two should be in their own space

> And in my opinion Ukraine needs a deal and it should have tried to keep Minsk 2. And I do not see this as colonial mindset, as Ukrainian I would think the same.

Why does Ukraine need a deal? Ukraine already has at least one international agreement that Russia signed saying they would never threaten the borders of Ukraine in anyway.

What is going to stop Russia from breaking any future deals, like they have broken deals in the past?.

What Ukraine needs is for Russia to leave because they realise that staying in Ukraine is too devastating for their country.

Evidently this the only thing Russia understands, force.

The biggest problem with AGI is definitional. How will we know when we see it?

Once that little detail gets solved, who’s to say that “refined LLM hooked up to tools and other specialized LLMs” won’t be it? Sure could be.

But it also could not be! AGI has been right around the corner my whole life and even longer. 50 years at least. Every new AI discovery is on the verge of AGI until a few years later it hits a wall. Research is hard like that.
Yeah I dunno, I hear this a lot, but there has universally been way more work to do than people to do it at every company I've worked for. But that doesn't mean the right things are being prioritized.
y = x * 2 is what you get on the most basic neural network. You show it a bunch of points for that function and it will train to predict the rest

or, in other words - nns and llms do exactly that - predict/invent functions that meet the data points
I’ve often wondered this as well. It seems like the amount of client core data is really small, like fit into a single payload small, and changes very infrequently (a small subset maybe a few times on a busy day).

Are custom listings/ordering the blocking issue that takes several seconds to load when the app starts? There’s so much amazing low level work that I’ve read from the Netflix streaming team, but the front end has always seemed lacking (why can’t I easily just get a list of all the videos)? It effects how I use the app?
Simplest form is `docker run --restart=unless-stopped` and `systemctl enable docker`

They will restart when crash, and after reboot.

I'm aware Java can be fast, but thats never what I work with. The products I've supported include vmware vcenter, confluence and epo. In all cases, just restarting a service is a "go have a coffee" affair. It really says a lot that something can take longer than a Microsoft exchange server to start but when I see it, I know someone badly wrote a Java app. To be clear I'll happily buy that this is a case of it not done right, but that seems pervasive.
This sounds incredibly stupid to me, giving some unspecified range of content providers access to things that users don't have access to. But that's Apple for you I guess.
On iOS it works in FF.
Don’t think production code, think MVP that may allow you to prove certain hypothesis and/or demonstrate need.

That may/will allow you to raise funds which will allow you to actually pay for OpenAI’s API or maybe train your own LLM or whatever.

Again, if you think in terms of MVP, these become extremely valuable.

Data, data, data, data. 1990s don't have wikipedia, Youtube, megapixel cameras every which where, every single adult human hooked up to a sensor package 24 hours a day, and who knows what else. I know as a 1990s guy I would never have imagined the amount of data we would eventually all throw up into the ether even ten years later, to say nothing of today. Without that corpus . .

It’s something that’s handled a lot these days at BigCos by service / query gateways / proxies and in the places that utilize these heavily it’s pretty automated from my experience. Basically the dev experience is you go into some web ui or make a PR against some JSON / yaml policy to allow whatever then it just works because some other sec / infra team plumed in all the auth and access control parts.

GQL itself doesn’t attempt to solve authZ or authN by design.

Scarcity of what? Certainly not money - there seems to be enough of that, it's just not in the poor people's hands
There are plenty of people who live in Tokyo who speak ~no Japanese, despite being here for 20+ years. Not recommended from a social sanity perspective, but there are enough foreigners to where you can just exist in the non-JP bubble for ~ever. Especially in the fancier parts of town.

And even absent that you can just figure out and manage. It's not the Netherlands but you can be functionally illiterate and exist here

There are plenty of Japanese classes in Japan. There are formal language schools, things offered by the city, and you can also just pay for private lessons. But if you're coming for work you're probably busy with work

Having said all that... loads of companies do the whole "English is the official language" thing here but are still properly segmented into "can speak Japanese" and "cannot speak Japanese" cliques.
