It seems to me that kids tend to rebel against their parents beliefs whatever they are. Conservative parents end up with liberal kids and vice versa.

That's just how kids are. How many teenagers do you know who say "Yeah, my parents are right about almost everything!"

Related, but I use exit traps (or actually ERR traps) to make debugging bash scripts at runtime a little easier. This will print the number of the line of the script that failed along with any error messages from the line that failed. This is useful if for whatever reason your logging system or whatever doesn't capture stderr

```

failure() {

local lineno="$1"

local msg="$2"

echo "Failed at ${lineno}: ${msg}"

}

trap 'failure "$LINENO" "BASH_COMMAND"' ERR

And? I am not advocating for gold either. Gold hinges on the fact that its yellow and nice to look at or whatever. It is entirely feasible for the world to be possessed by zeitgeist such that gold or anything yellow doesn't mean particularly much. This could happen, for example, if gold and diamonds can be manufactured artificially. What then?

Developing on windows is zero fun, not totally happy to see that part of the announcement.

Compiling the libraries for the various consumer GPUs sounds good though. It definitely annoys people that they have to build from source (and tread the "officially unsupported" waters) when using consumer cards.

AVX-512 has 32 registers because the Pentium core Larrabee was developed against was in-order. In a real sense, the P5 core dictated much of AVX-512's design.

> No city/county/state has the resources to be able to offer healthcare or housing.

This is the lie told everywhere that the only real solution to affordable housing is gov spending billions on a small set of tenement buildings, that take a decade to build, and are 3x over budget. Instead of reforming municipal policies to reduce rampant NIMBYist roadblocks, rethinking zoning from the ground up, streamlining regulations to make it easier to follow and enforce the rules safely, etc etc.

None of those things require billions of dollars to be committed. Just heart, communication skills, and charisma. There's a mountain of capital and regular people ready to build new housing, lack of capital, or will, or lack of demand to build has never been the problem. To discover the root problem requires asking why it's so rare/expensive despite that reality and why it's so harder today than it was 100yrs ago.
Not sure how helpful that would be, I don't think most of the cost of robotics manufacturing is assembly. Precision machining would be part of it, as would actuators and batteries, all of which require their own specialised manufacturing chains that I doubt DeepMind can improve by an order of magnitude. And then of course there's the chips, which are very important and unlikely to drop in cost significantly from anything DeepMind can do. Of course your floor is the cost of materials, which is going to be based on labour and exchange value from mining and refining, particularly of lithium and aluminium, neither of which I think is particularly susceptible to any advances DeepMind is likely to make.

If someone from twenty years in the future appeared in my living room and informed me with certainty that robots are 100x cheaper in 2043 and asked me how that could be true, my first guess would be that there are significant energy breakthroughs making aluminium and lithium much cheaper as raw materials, and that robots took off as a very popular consumer product and are now sold in quantities between 100 million and 1 billion units every year, driving prices down through economies of scale. I'm not certain that would be enough on its own to get prices down that far, but it would be my best guess.
Sorry to hear about your struggles and I genuinely hope you’re in a good place now.

Inflation is brutal. As the head of a 6 person household, rent, groceries, and gas are eating up way too much of my budget. I make just under 6 figures and with trying to maintain the modest activities my children were in before inflation hit and paying down debts it’s pretty much paycheck to paycheck living.
That's still a thing. There's a tradeoff between ahead of time compiling for the specific architecture and shipping some more generic thing that you maybe try to specialise at the last moment. Some of the tooling now bundles the N different binaries in a single archive file which makes it less annoying in practice.
> I'm having a really hard time working on new, non-LLM related side projects due to anxiety that everything I'm doing is effectively worthless.

Is there really only joy in programming stuff if you think what you're doing is valuable to others?

I thought it was the opposite: because I don't need to be reliable with a side project, then I can take the time to do things in a slow or impractical way, as tidily as I like, or do it however I want to. -- It's a chance to play with whatever.

I'm finding it quite fun to play around with non-LLM stuff.

I think it's also quite fun to play around with LLM related stuff, and to see what it can do, and what it can't do.
Even more relevant, Evan Miller has an article on this exact topic (using Bayesian statistics to calculate ratings) that goes into further detail than the original article:

I don’t think there is anything visually wrong with the new reddit. My issue is with how slow and buggy it is. And all the dark patterns and engagement tricks it’s full of.

Great great bot here, even as is. The web is amazing.
This idea is why I think we should take lunatic conspiracy theory hypothesis seriously (enough to study them): if the mainstream scientific community ignores them, they end up being ‘tested’ by the ignorant masses using unsophisticated methods.

For example, it’s hard to find papers on heterodox hypothesis for climate change where a few good papers showing null results would help convince a lot of skeptics (although of course there will always be skeptics who distrust all academic data and are immune to changing their mind).
> At best you send some of it directly to someone else with no trusted middleman

This is impossible.

If you trade crypto, at some point that money has to become fiat for you to pay bills, pay taxes or cash out. If the currency _is_ crypto, you either have to transact on-chain where it is inefficient and slow by design, or off-chain, where you are trusting a middle-man by definition.

Either way, you are beholden to the currency controls of your country, and unlike you, they have the resources of a nation-state and can de-anonymize and use violence to force you to bend the knee.
In 10 years we'll be talking about Reddit like we talk about MySpace today.
Correct. And if you personally don't see anything of value being created by cryptocurrencies, nobody is forcing you to invest or work in this field. It's the beauty of free markets when they're allowed to operate properly.

Btw ever wondered why in the year of our lord 2023 you can't trade stocks on the NASDAQ after 4pm EST, and why an ACH transfer takes 3 days to settle? I guess it's easier to piss away billions in lawyers and lobbyists to gatekeep the competition instead of R&D to improve your products.
The thing is that reading the manual isn't easy. If it was, everyone would do it, because the benefit is that, eventually, you know every topic or section that appears in the bash man page, and then eventually you know most of what that page says about most of those features. These efforts compound over time. If you reach that point, you know that if you don't know of a feature in that software, it doesn't exist. You eventually get a shape of the feature set, often as it was intended to be used by the author of the tool.

You can spend twice as much time over twice as many years reading random blog posts and googling, and you'll have no cohesive, comprehensive picture of the full tool and all its features. In this case, if you look at `man bash` and find the trap builtin function you'll learn about the DEBUG and ERR traps, for example, which I didn't see mentioned in the discussion here. These things might be useful to just file away; in case you ever need it someday, then you'll know it's there and exactly where to find it, not some half-remembered blog post you can't find again.

Over ten or twenty years, the difference between these two habits is night and day. The people who read the documentation first, and only then ask for help, and the people who ask for help first and get it and so never read the docs, end up in a totally different place with respect to overall confidence and comfort with the tools. Reading the man page means you don't get your answer right away, it's slower, less enjoyable, and less fun than googling. It's competing with content that was literally filtered by an engagement selection process. Of course it's less immediate gratification. The only reason people will do it is if they internalize the habit long enough to appreciate the benefits.

"RTFM" was a bit of social shaming, to tell people "don't be lazy, the answer you seek is literally in the documentation, please just read it". Shaming strangers on the internet turns out to not work well at scale, so generally we don't do this now, and the message just doesn't get passed on at all.

I've been shocked at the attitude even in some companies that reading docs is some kind of unnecessary or obsolete practice. As you say, it's become the default option to seek answers online. A culture of reading documentation still exists, but now it has to be maintained inside organizations that care about it, because it's no longer understood as the basic professional attitude.
I think this hints at a concept I find very hard to articulate about letting metrics guide your design. You set out with metrics that seem plausible, you work to improve them, and if they do improve, you call the design a success. But then it actually turns out the metrics were no good in the first place because they “improve” for scenarios where you’ve most certainly made the user experience worse. Metrics proponents would argue that you should have had better metrics, but then I start to feel that the problem of selecting the right metrics becomes an art form just as subjective and complicated as designing a good UI in the first place, at which point they’re no help.
Heh! Not sure if it's a cosmic coincidence, but I posted something (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36410781) similar based on https://github.com/bashup/events a few hours ago in another thread.

The version here's much simpler, which has its merit if you need the performance or have a simple (append-only, exit-only) use-case.

bashup.events supports removing handlers, one-time events, pseudo-promises, and more. It's easy to use it for something like this, but also modular deferred init/load and more.

I was wondering about that. What would be the proper way of doing it? Perhaps glue…but then you have the screws that hold on the titanium caps. Maybe carbon fiber in general wasn’t a good choice.

> People who participated in this knew the risks.

Did they? Knowing the risks, imo, requires more than just being aware of the failure scenarios - it also means having an understanding of the probabilities involved. Playing Russian roulette with 1 vs 5 rounds have the same worse case outcomes, but the odds are very different.

Not doing destructive testing, hiding info from the guy who was supposed to look at the ship, etc. that's avoiding getting a handle on risk.

Probably not, but otoh, it sounds like they probably could have done so and failed to take the necessary steps to make it happen.
I started to avoid LLM news and I feel much more relaxed. Most of it started to feel like bs hype. It will take a year or so until the hype settles and everyone has a reasonably idea of how it can be used reliably in a product.
I'm just imagining it running out of batteries. Then the user non-chalantly asks the pilot/guide for the spares. But they get a blank look. They repeat themselves. They must not have heard. They get a grimace this time and they suddenly realize what a precarious situation they were in all along.

I'm guessing the next iteration of the protest if mods aren't allowed to make their subs NSFW that the mods will simply allow a few NSFW/advertiser unfriendly posts to go unremoved. "Gee it should would be easier to moderate with third party apps, but since they went away things seem to be slipping through the cracks."

If a mainstream advertiser thinks it's possible their ad could be displayed next to NSFW content, they probably won't post it. The whole optics of the fight between Reddit and its users has probably soured a lot of potential future business regardless.
