Keep on truckin'drumhead. When you are doing something you love, it is not work. It's a hobby. ;) Thanks for your comment. Richard
Fabricating events, people, or facts is pretty much the worst thing a journalist can be accused of, but sadly it's all to tempting for some.

Journalism is hyper competitive, but the reality is proper reporting is an often boring, greulling grind. The remarkable, career-defining stories are so rare most could never dream to break them. Sources almost never provide coherent quotes, and facts sometimes contradict each other. It's an extremely unfulfilling pursuit most of the time.

So it's not too difficult to understand why some reporters might embellish a quote or something small, trying to better illustrate a larger narrative, or perhaps make their piece more appealing to their audience or their colleagues.

Once that line is crossed, they can soon find themselves inventing entire people or scenarios. History is littered with examples, but the reality is we probably only know of the most prominent cases, i.e. those who were caught.

I look at it the same as steroids in professional athletes or white collar crime. Those in the lower echelons are constantly looking for a way to climb the ranks of esteem and further their careers, but the tangible opportunities to make their mark don't often materialize.

In journalism school, I think most programs have at least one ethics course effectively dedicated to studying rather famous instances of journalists disgraced for one reason of another, most often fabrication.

Huge cultural strides have been taken since the days of yellow journalism and so facts are usually vetted by a small team. I think it's usually a matter of one small untruth spawning a network of supporting lies. The coverup is often worse than the crime, as it were.

In a role and industry where credibility is the only currency, it's extremely serious to make any factual error, even mistakenly.

I left the industry more than a decade ago, but can offer the following real-life annecdote. I was almost fired for mistaking one mountain for another on one of my first pieces. It was a weeks-long ordeal of meetings, "trainings," and reprimands both official and casual, and that was a dumb mistake my editor made and I mindlessly agreed with, not even something I introduced surreptitiously, or even with any intent.
Think that needs to be changed to "have a builtin web browser engine"
This would be even better if you could click on the various creatures you encounter to get their Wikipedia articles.

That said, this is pretty cool. It's made me think how for humans and many other animals, moving 10, 100, even thousands of kilometers horizontally is not a very big deal. But move vertically, and you effectively find yourself in a different world within as little as a few hundred meters.
> It's a given that size of the landmass is not the issue

There are many factors - landmass is only one of them, but it's definitely one of them. As the article points out:

] It is a tall order. The largest island to have removed all rats is South Georgia, a 170km (105-mile)-long territory in the South Atlantic. New Zealand conservationists believe the feat can in due course be achieved in an area larger than the UK.

What is your point?

There are definitely successful examples of the eradication of a recently introduced species that was severely damaging the ecosystem, where the ecosystem started to recover after the eradication. https://news.mongabay.com/2022/09/stamping-out-invasive-spec... says "Their analysis includes 1,550 attempts on nearly 1,000 islands, and it reveals that 88% of these projects were successful" and specifically listing species and ecosystem benefits in in the Galápagos, Palmyra Atoll, and Chagos Archipelago.

That there are examples where recently introduced species haven't been eradicated despite a century of trying, or examples where the ecosystem or food-production capability was damaged due to human attempts to eradicate a long-established local species, are rather different points, yes?
I think just about everyone agrees that e-bikes need regulations with strong enforcement. We just don’t agree that they also require training, licensing and insurance.

However bad you think e-bikes are, the fact remains that cars are worse. As long as e-bikes are replacing cars, they’re a good thing.
This seems entirely due to the higher mod/user ratio on Reddit compared to the rest of the web, doesn't it?

I'm pretty sure that quote from Churchill about how to make a martini is apocryphal.

>The marbles that were bought

From whom? Whoever Elgin paid money to certainly didn’t own the marbles, and the firman that he quoted doesn’t exist. He helped himself to set up his own personal museum.

>from being ground up to be made into cement

Only the marble that was on the ground was ground up into lime. Elgin pulled friezes off the Parthenon, that’s a big difference.

The Acropolis Museum has spaces reserved for the return of the marbles to their ancestral home. A museum that’s climate controlled and employs people who care about these artifacts a lot more than the British Museum [1]

It seems to me that the people running the British Museum want to hold onto the Marbles lest other governments demand their antiquities back, if the Marbles ever make it back home.

Because of this I always use `uniq`.

POSIX' documentation and Apple's man-page at least are bit better formulated than :

-u Unique: suppress all but one in each set of lines having equal keys.
[...]
-n Restrict the sort key to an initial numeric string, [...]

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/s...

than the GNU version - looks like the person documenting `-u` hasn't known what it does (never attribute to malice ...):

-u, --unique
with -c, check for strict ordering; without -c, output only the
first of an equal run
It would take a true maestro to make a damn good martini but even the basic AF store bought pina colada mix tastes good.

Getting into tiki cocktails, I’ve never had a bad one because it is literally impossible to mess up fruit juices and large quantities of rum and other spirits.
Labor force participation rate tells a different story, so I'd be more careful in asserting statements like that.
In this case, supply chain security mostly means compliance. Alpine and other distros already do a great job at most aspects of supply chain security, but we make package/image signatures and SBOMs very easy to get in Wolfi.

We're also more flexible on packaging extra software in Wolfi than other distros are, which has an effect on your overall supply chain security posture. We're aiming to package the entire Cloud Native landscape (to start!), so you can simply "apk add" anything you need, without having to drop back to "curl | bash" in your Dockerfile.

By making it easier for devs to get the software they need "the right way", they'll have a reduced need to work around the already existing secure distribution mechanisms built into their distros.

If you're already on Alpine and like it, that's great! If there are some packages you can't find in Alpine, or musl vs. glibc ever causes you issues, or you need SBOMs for some reason, give Wolfi a try!
from the bottom of my heart: congratulations on making the web an unusable pile of garbage. It probably took a lot of effort, but you googlers incontestably pulled it off.

You're repeating your points without refuting mine. You're endorsing my points with the "you're free to choose your own Blocklist", which:
- you aren't as an individual except through an admin who decides on their instance or the high barrier of running your own.

The choice I have is it to love or leave each instance and pay the price of fragmentation and user registration per instance, plus having to switch.

In any case, you've unwillingly agreed with me by explaining my "choice" after calling me uninformed and now vague.

It's funny how you also see diversity as an unfortunate. Says a lot.

Fundamentally, it's not putting the true power of granularity and easy choice on the user but forming small very narrow minded communities at the whim of an admin, with a high cost of transfer (unlike a sub where you might disagre with a mod decisiom).

Funnily enough, feels less free choice than Reddit in some aspects.
Java is absolutely used for perf critical workloads, hell, I am fairly sure that there are no runtime in existence that would handle that load of memory pressure better - of course the problem is sort of self-made, not every allocation should have to be done in the first place in this case.

But Java is heavily used in high-frequency trading, is the backbone of many cloud infrastructures and it is such a large platform that there are plenty of small niches where it is used and performance is important.

... and still they did not abort the dive. In fact, they continued to go even deeper. Think about that for a second.

That's the stuff those explorers (and the people backing them) were made of. No wonder nobody has been to the Moon in 50 years. I can't even imagine where you would find an institution willing to let its employees take such risks today.
Broadly speaking, competitiveness is the source of quality of life improvements, through its effect of expanding capital and thereby raising productivity.
Good read. Currently there are lot of issues in autonomous agents apart from Finite context length, task decomposition and natural language as interface mentioned in the article.
I think for agents to truly find adoption in real world, agent trajectory fine tuning is critical component - how do you make an agent perform better to achieve particular objective with every subsequent run. Basically making the agents learn similar to how we learn when we

Also I think current LLMs might not fit well for agent use cases in mid to long term because the RL they go through is based on input-best output methods whereas the intelligence that you need in agents is more around how to build an algorithm to achieve an objective on the fly - this requires perhaps new type of large models ( Large Agent Models ? ) which are trained using RLfD ( Reinforcement Learning from demonstration )

Also I think one of the key missing piece is a highly configurable software middle ware between Intelligence ( LLMs ), Memory ( Vector Dbs ~LTMs, STMs ), Tools and workflows across every iteration. Current agent core loop to find next best action is too simplistic. For example if core self prompting loop or iteration of an agent can be configured for the use case in hand. Eg for BabyAGI, every iteration goes through workflow of Plan, Prioritize and Execute or in AutoGPT it finds the next best action based on LTM/STM, or GPTEngineer it is to write specs > write tests > write code. Now for dev infra monitoring agent this workflow might be totally different - it would look like consume logs from different tools like Grafana, Splunk, APMs > See if it doesnt have an anomaly > if it has an anomaly then take human input for feedback. Every use case in real world has it's own workflow and current construct of agent frameworks have this thing hard coded in base prompt. In SuperAGI( https://superagi.com) ( disclaimer : Im creator of it ), core iteration workflow of agent can be defined as part of agent provisioning.

Another missing piece is notion of Knowledge. Agents currently depend entirely upon knowledge of LLMs or search results to execute on tasks, but if a specialised knowledge set is plugged to an agent, it performs significantly better.

Substitute ghee for butter and you've got one foot in heaven.
I think this is just the beginning of a whole wave of open source behind paywall type of deal. Ubuntu put the Amazon store app in their distro, for Christ's sake.

The only downside I see to this (I don't care to get involved in the ethics or centos or "freeloading" debates/conversation) is gatekeeping / whistleblowing may get much harder. Granted, I don't care to or have ever looked at RHEL source code, but there is a lot of independent observers out there looking at code that runs servers and desktop software for very important things. Projects in my area that come to mind are scientific Linux and those spins that were directly supported by fermi and the like, and were based on RHEL. That code got put on all kinds of servers and desktops in very important applications.
As someone who's only ever drank moderately and has generally enjoyed it, I can confirm that you way overdid it.

If you're feeling like crap all the time and waking up with your money gone, perhaps the problem lay within the drinker, not the drink.
True. They could get away with it in countries that aren't friendly with the West and that don't extradite. But the problem is that they could no longer travel to the West. Oligarchs that aren't being sanctioned and aren't being wanted for anything else would probably want to avoid that. Especially now - when the situation in Russia is unstable.
> Harvard knows how much cachet a Harvard degree has

Reading about how crappy their intro CS course it makes me downgrade their cachet.

I can't help but wonder if the richer students simply pay for a tutor, rather than depend on the school-provided services.
Yes, but like the best simple recipes, the skill lies in picking the right two and using them in the right proportion.

Gins and vermouths both vary a lot in flavor, and a martini is a drink that's all about the subtleties of how they interact. If you get an olive or three in your martini, there's also the element of the olive brine. That could be an incidental amount from the surface of the olives, or an amount added beyond that, at which point the drink is properly called a dirty martini.

A martini is the perfect test of a bartender's skill, just as a plain cheese pizza is the perfect test of a pizza maker's skill.
It is a cool trick and even without virtual memory if the maximum read size has a low upper bound just copying a the first few bytes from the beginning to the end can be worth it to avoid the complexity and overhead of indexing into the ring buffer modulo its size.

This clever ring buffer has hidden costs that don't show up in microbenchmarks testing only the push() and pop() operations on an initialized ring buffer. These can be very high and impact other software as well.

The initialisation requires multiple system calls to setup the aliased memory mapping and it has to be a multiple of the page size. This can be very expensive on big systems e.g. shooting down the TLBs on all other CPUs with interprocessor interrupts to invalidate any potentially conflicting mappings. On other end small systems often using variations of virtual indexed data caches and may be forced to set the aliased ring buffer pages as uncacheable unless you can get the cache coloring correct. And even for very small ring buffers you also use at least two TLB entries. A "dumber" ring buffer implementation can share part of a large page with other data massively reducing the TLB pressure.

Abusing the MMU to implement an otherwise missing ring addressing mode is tempting and can be worth it for some use-cases on several common platforms, but be careful and measure the impact on the whole system.
I know that is what they're aiming for, but the point is that I'm disagreeing with the goal of prioritising transport to/from London because it actively encourages further centralisation, which keeps driving the need for even more upgrades while at the same time driving up the cost of doing them.
Wake me up when they make their code forge public, and not just drop tarballs of their Chromium fork every now and then, which doesn't include any of the front-end code such as their MUA!
Just one small point which you may already know, but I wasn’t sure from the way you phrased it…

The British empire grew and peaked predominantly after the US became independent.
Do you have any source for that? It seems questionable at best. Also, depending on where it is used, Java deals very well with indirect calls, it doesn’t have the same cost as, say, a C++ virtual call.
Nearly every Android device ever made runs on an outdated kernel that can't be upgraded anymore. From a platform perspective, I think they made the wrong choice when the majority of their install base has turned into abandonware.
1. If they say 60 up front, it’s likely much more than that.

2. I don’t do good work when I’m tired.

3. I have some health issues that make managing 40 hours difficult sometimes, so I’m not “posturing.”

Also, I’m pretty sure stock options didn’t vest until like four years or something. IIRC, Musk’s companies were well known for chewing up young engineers and spitting them out. Their modus operandi seemed to be taking advantage of young idealistic graduates who would work themselves to death for some “cause” (and not enough compensation).

Perhaps you're unfamiliar with how the term woke is currently used vis a vis American politics. It's a pejorative typically used as the foundation of a disingenuous argument about being respectful towards others or as a way of demonizing anything you disagree with.

Woke was used in line with its most common meaning and scare quotes were added. It wasn't a mistake and the context was made explicit (offending people). It was used out of ignorance, sure, but not the kind of naive ignorance you're suggesting. It was used as a dog whistle.

Unlike "the n word" which, in a familiar context, is used as a term of endearment in some groups, woke as an adjective has long since ceased to be used as anything other than a derogatory term used to vilify people you dislike.

Question: What if you don't get 12/12?
No. At the moment it's people who don't own a property and have savings instead who "pay twice". People who couldn't get a mortgage to buy a house so saved instead are expected to pay more towards old age care than those who did get a mortgage to buy a house. The proposed policy change was to rebalance the current rules which greatly benefit property owners over involuntary renters of similar means, to make the rules fairer.
