Just as this site is terrible for discussing anything related to crypto reasonably because of an overabundance of emotional hatred and bad faith arguments, so too has it become bad for AI-related subjects due to an overabundance of wide-eyed emotional belief and bad reasoning in favor of AI.

You routinely see arguments like "AI LLM models must be sentient because look at my cherry picked, very minor example X of one saying Y to me, just like a thinking intelligence!"

Or " Well if you claim LLMs are just Markov chains and sophisticated stochastic parrots, how can you know that human's aren't exactly the same thing?" Well, no it doesn't work that way. The one making the fantastic claim needs to justify it, not the person claiming have unique traits based on thousands of years of evidence.

And if that person can't even notice any difference between human self-directed behavior/reasoning and how something like GPT acts after being given ungodly amounts of text content to algorithmically filter through for a text response (and still often failing at answering even very simple questions), then that person is unlikely to use good reasoning for their notions of LLM sentience.
> If code reviews are absolute blockers on your team then your team is dysfunctional

So what am I supposed to work on when I'm waiting for my code to be reviewed? Am I supposed to context-switch over to another task, losing all of my current built-up state about the current problem and making it take twice as long just because you think your task is more important? Async reviews slow the whole team down, because juggling more tasks in your head means that you can't retain the high-context information about all of them as easily and you lose a lot of time to context-switching. In the synchronous review model, only one team member has to do a context switch (and a much lighter one than a full context switch to work on another task). In addition, synchronous reviews over a voice/video chat just take significantly less time in general, because being able to ask "Why did you do it this way?" and have an immediate discussion about the trade-offs is strictly superior to having to have that same discussion back and forth over days of async responses.

This is a misconception. The main result in the Kolmogorov complexity theory that there is precisely the "universal prior" that comes simply from the notion of computability.
I see an argument for the addition of the fence as "improving" the property and therefore showing that it has not been abandoned.

Aside from the obvious goal of keeping out trespassers, I'd be willing to bet the fence was added based on legal advice. In a few years there will probably need to be some further "improvement". Perhaps as simple as replacing the fence.

The hive mindedness of Reddit only gives the perception that it is actually useful or contains a trove of valuable information. In actuality it is foolish to follow just about any advice from Reddit, as the most visible comments are merely the ones that best fit with the hive mind and aren’t necessarily indicative of reality. Prime examples of this are relationship, legal, and health advice, but I’ve also found it extends to more niche areas as well.

I don’t just regret walking around for a few months stinking of Old Spice - I regret drinking Apple Cider vinegar, recommending my sister look into nootropic drugs, and arguing with family members based on flimsy political talking points.

The short version is that if atomics are implemented as part of the memory network, common cache, or memory controller, then atomics of the form “fetch-and-X” can be implemented in roughly equivalent complexity to a load of the current value (plus an instruction for the op, give it take) with the cost only scaling past that as op queues or other implementation-specific limits fire. It’s the infinite consensus ops that just can’t scale no matter what you do. The coherence and memory model matter a lot too of course, which is part of why x86 tends to be slow for atomics, while arm and ppc (with fetch-and-X extensions) or GPUs tend to do much better.

I haven't seen the stats I guess, but with as much turnover as there was during and after covid, are most people actually working for the same companies they were in 2019?

It's probably largely industry-dependent, and probably split along several demographic lines besides, but only a handful (<10%ish) of my coworkers worked for the company before the pandemic.

I had some issues with Jellyfin that weren't due to transcoding, still not sure what the cause was.

I had a 2nd gen chromecast that would play half a second and fail, something to do with the data format I think as there was some shenanigans with changing the media container but no real transcoding happening. Solved by getting a newer chromecast which was a nice upgrade anyway.

I also had problems playing on my phone, the integrated player in the app would play video fine while the UI was interacted with, so tapping continuously worked. The picture would freeze up though. Playing through the web UI on the phone worked fine, but I prefer the app. Changing the media player from the integrated to externally through VLC solved that.

So I've found it a bit rough in some cases for me, but there are a ton of Jellyfin apps with nice UI. The core work (transcoding etc) is done by ffmpeg by all the big players (plex, emby, jellyfin) so don't expect much differentiation there.
> My point was that if pressed, the lawmakers responsible for overriding these "bag bans" would say something similar to you, essentially that bag bans are bad (though I suspect their reasoning would look very different).

They would say something similar to me. Except the reasoning would be very different.

So the only similarity is that they would say that it is “bad” (I would say that the ban is pointless per se).

So they wouldn’t say something similar to what I said.

Exactly. Pick a lane. 100% remote or 100% in office.

Long before the pandemic, we were 100% in office but we had one 100% remote team member. We never had any problems because Robert understood that he was the only remote person. There was a distinct section of "Robert update" in the team weekly meetings just to recap what we all agreed on and to update Robert. Robert knew that and worked around it. We also knew that any decision we made didn't involve Robert and that we had to minimize impact on him whenever possible. If it wasn't possible, then we needed to update him as soon as possible. Luckily Robert never worked on core components with many fuzzy interfaces to other component. Both him and us agreed long ago that it wasn't feasible.

If we all decided the whole team is remote, we could work with that. If we all decided the whole team is in-office, we too can work with that. Having a split team inherently dictated split responsibilities.
Yeah, this and countless others that nobody's ever heard of except through a YouTube advert making questionable claims with a questionable definition of 'VPN'.

I expect reddit to survive this because this isn't something that will stop people from visiting it. While they may originally go to reddit for information, they stay for the communities. It's pretty well established that no one there reads beyond the headline before heading to the comments section.

I feel the bigger threat to reddit is that many of the ways that people are introduced to it will be better served by AI-driven services. If people can find what they're looking for without ever visiting reddit, then they won't get involved in the communities, and the communities there slowly thin out.

Amusingly I see part of the reason for reddit's success is how poorly Google has become at finding information on the web. These days it seems that reddit is the go to place to find answers to a myriad of problems.
This highlights how lots of managers are just plain not good at their jobs.

For the life of me, I cannot get infuse to connect to my jellyfin server, which is why I use the official jellyfin app. It might be how I set it up on my NAS.

I’ve tried Plex in the past and wasn’t a fan of the bloat and constant changes. I’ll stick with jellyfin since it’s free and doesn’t have the negative incentives associated with pursuing profit. I find that annoying when o just want a clean way to watch my library.
I am using it and it is great so far.

One of the things I wish was improved was the UI for viewing the details of a package. Something better than right cliking and opening an unmovable modal popup. Maybe a vertical side panel that opens up on click and can be closed like in KDE Discover or like the preview panel in File Explorer on Windows. Selecting a different package would refresh the panel.

It would also be nice to be able to customize the columns in the gridview of packages and filter on them. I would like to be able to filter by source (show only Choco for example) or by licence (show only GPL packages for example) or sort by date last updated.

I still remember that I tried to install D1 on Win95 on 386 computer back then. System disk has 200MB and I needed 12 MB free space for D1 launcher that let me run D1 from disc. So I uninstalled Microsoft Briefcase. What a lovely times.

Still not finished, because then I got 486 and there was games like Heroes of M&M or AoE2 that I enjoyed more.

Maybe I shoul finish D1 now.

I use authentik for self hosted - it's great but still too powerful and configurable for me or most people who are not auth experts to customise. Just creating a password reset flow requires integrating a dozen moving parts. The only explanation how to do it is a yaml file or a YouTube tutorial.

The precautions for glyphosate are basically "don't drink that". My dishwasher detergent has sterner warnings. Heck, Tide pods are just as dangerous.

That's because the principal "danger" of glyphosate formulations comes from surfactants.

Pure glyphosate by itself is pretty benign.

I actually think buying a first gen Mac Mini M1 is a better idea with a thunderbolt drive storage. I have friends in California that does this for the reasons you mentioned.

I desperately want something similar, a small touchscreen Linux board that's thin/slim without any annoying headers etc so I can make a digital badge.

> The only thing I follow is keeping stuff simple.

Some other things I’ve kept around:

- Complex systems must develop out of a simple system (there’s a clever quote I can’t find right now) - also known as “make it work, then make it better”

- Bugs shall become test cases

- Bug reproducibility should be maximized (crash tracking / good logs, sacrifice performance if necessary)

- Fail fast

- Composition over inheritance (arguably a subjective one, but I’ve never regretted doing it)
I’m curious to hear what problems are you thinking of in particular that make it no-go? Strong model has challenges, but I am not aware of any total showstoppers.

x86 has also illustrated the triangle, garnering some weakly ordered benefits with examples like avx512 and enhanced rep movsb.

The interesting thing is both solutions (weak ordering, special instructions) have been largely left to the compiler to manage, so it could become a question of which the compiler is better able to leverage. For example, if people are comfortable programming MP code in C on a strong memory model but reach for python on a weak memory model, things could shake out differently than expected.

Omitting the /s/ is an oversimplification. Classically what happens in accents like that is that /s/ is rendered as [h]. People do this aspiration to varying extents, sometimes omitting totally, sometimes not. Presence of a vowel following nearby can make a full formed [s] appear. The "a" in gracias a dios could easily make that into "gracias a dio".

By the way I had a coworker who was a native Arabic speaker say "thanks God" a lot. I think "thank God" is a phrasing that throws off a lot of people learning English, from multiple language backgrounds.

> Someone whose incentives are tightly aligned with the business is going to solve the actual problem and simply and effectively as possible.

On average, and depending on skill. Incentives are hugely important (probably the most important metric any manager could work on), but even they do not guarantee results. If you hire so many juniors that nobody is there to upskill them fast, you only get one lottery ticket per employee. Conversely, if you hire a bunch of geniuses and fail to give them incentives to work on realisable, useful problems together, you get two lottery tickets per employee at twice the price.

(This comment feels woefully incomplete. Does anyone know of good resources to learn more about incentive structures and how they relate to individual and company success? I feel like the problem is that incentive structures change massively when companies grow, so even for unicorns there's just a short sweet spot where we can actually learn how they are supposed to look.)

Grenade launchers would actually be a very poor tool for hunting deer.

Most deer hunters are looking to either take home a trophy or meat (or both). The use of a grenade to kill the deer would lead to the destruction of both meat and trophy.

While some hunters are hunting for sport and may enjoy the challenge over the trophy or the meat, these tend select an underpowered weapon (such as a bow and arrow) rather than an overpowered weapon (such as a grenade).

There is an expectation of top to bottom, in-order execution from a notebook. The point of it being a "notebook" is that it's like a scientists journal where they write the equations, solve them, write notes on the solution, and proceed from there.

The execution order is implied from the skeuomorphism of the notebook form.

This is why the notebook paradigm is not generally suitable for software development. They're well suited to using code to get answers from data, for learning, and for trying things out. But you wouldn't use them for building your next SaaS product (unless that product is a site for hosting notebooks..., or you're making Mathematica).

1) Unplug your hardware and do a scan of wifi networks nearby and note the channel numbers and strengths of each network. Make sure you choose a channel that's neither the same nor close to what's used by the stronger networks you can see.

2) Consider turning off 5 GHz completely. 2.4 GHz has better penetration through walls and other obstacles, and the speed difference between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz when you're closer to the access point is often irrelevant compared with the speed of your Internet connection.

3) If you buy additional equipment, do not buy a "repeater". They're usually crap and usually make things worse overall. Buy a device that can be a bridge - that is, that can act as an access point and not just as a "router" - and connect it to your primary device via ethernet, and situate that device closer to where you're having issues.
Right, but note that you've made two arguments. The first was "you can explain this simply using 'P(red) ≠ 0.5'". The second is "you can explain this using a heuristic".

The difference is that the first argument saves standard expected utility theory. The second does not. Someone who has this heuristic is violating expected utility. Maybe you didn't believe EUT to start with. But many people did, and so this paradox still resonates.
We use strongly typed contexts for:

- Request-scoped parameters like user ID, request ID, etc.

- Dependency injection (database connection and other IO)

- Cancellation

It works great. The one hairy part is when you need to change the context, for example when logging in you take an anonymous context and end up with a logged-in context. We use linters to ensure that stuff is right, but it still takes some thought in the edge cases.

Still, I think those issues are exposing problems in our codebase rather than problems with typed contexts.

Did u try SES
This is unfortunate that he got disillusioned but the shift is for really one simple reason - segment. The original twilio that went on to acquire sendgrid, was increasingly in a low margin commodity market. Segment is hugely profitable in contrast and is not dependent on increasingly competitive upstream providers (carriers) providing lower cost similar apis as twilio voice/messaging. It still stands that Twilio’s apis are better than the competitors but that will only last so long. Segment will keep twilio relevant for a much longer time.
