1. Yeah the jails item was addressed above with Debian being able to run docker so don't go with FreeBSD for that. Again, you don't have to run the same OS for everything. Its not like homogenous environments haven't existed before, organizations run Windows, BSD and Linux together.

2. Plenty of organization manage internal repositories for packages they regularly use or for systems that need pinned versions of software. I haven't worked at any organization that hasn't had this. This was the entire benefit of having integrated system commands like yum, apt, fetch, pkg, etc and using .rpm,.dep, etc and standard package managers / formats. Not all companies release code to upstream repositories how do you think they systematically deploy their code from build tools like bamboo or jenkins?

3. Not even sure what you are talking about here. You don't have to run package updates everyday, you don't have to upgrade your FreeBSD OS everyday, now a 2 year release cycle is ok? but a (5) year supported FreeBSD release cycle is too short? Even if you outsource this to vendors you don't read the release notes, you just upgrade, you don't have to make any backups of your data or software?

At this point I'm not even sure what you do. You write software, it compiles, and it just magically shows up on the Internet?

My point still stands though, there isn't any specific item tying most of the people in this thread to CentOS that they couldn't pay RH or move to Debian/Ubuntu/FreeBSD. CentOS was never free from any of the items you noted above.
The passthrough face requires a face scan thing that wasn't ready yet. For controlling avatars viewed in a virtual mirror I think I read they gave you an avatar of someone else to control.

If the passthrough eyes were available, clickbait journalism would also probably do things like intentionally cross their eyes and get a goofy look on it, then write and article about how the headset will make you look extra goofy.
Here's how you return a hashmap from a function:

fn buildMap(allocator: std.mem.Allocator) !std.AutoHashMap(u64, u64) {
var result = std.AutoHashMap(u64, u64).init(allocator);
errdefer result.deinit();
try result.put(10, 100);
try result.put(20, 200);
return result;
}

Your #1 option should be possible once Zig has comptime allocators -- it's on the roadmap, but not possible yet iirc.

I have friends in academia who use GPT-4 to help with with research level code. TikTok just released an app where you can hum a song it will generate a full instrumental backing track.

This stuff can already do impressive things and its only getting better.

Douglas Hofstadter and Geoffrey Hinton both think that we are on the path to humans eventually being surpassed.

I would urge everyone to hold back their instinctive reaction to the usual SV hype and go and try GPT-4,Claude+, Mid Journey, RunwayML for a few weeks and come to their own conclusions.

Full-stack engineer looking for my next opportunity! I've been at mid- and early- stage startups for the past ~10 years, so I have experience with fast-moving environments and love shipping things fast and often. I have technical leadership experience that I'm looking to use at a principal/staff level, or I'm looking to start at Senior level with possibility to move to principal/staff within a year or two.

In my spare time, I try my best to make games when I'm not out walking my dog.
I don't mean to contradict you, your comment just made a good opening to post the world map from the movie. The map is really (really…) not detailed, and honestly I find it hard to identify the problem border in it off the coast of "Asia".

Somebody on Twitter pointed out the sea border around Greenland is controversial as well, something about fishing rights.

Yeah I was just commenting in general towards the attitude of wanting to help people. It's wonderful when people have good intentions like that. But people should direct those good intentions on improving open data sets instead of being slave labour for large corporations.
Slices in zig are a fat pointer with a runtime known length, which have bounds checking at runtime and will panic if you access out of bounds.

Unless you build in releasefast, which disables that check. There is releasesafe for a release build that keeps bounds checking panics.

They’ve been slowly shipping pieces of the ecosystem for a while. The iPhone has had AR for years, and tvOS has moved to 3D icons already (you can move your finger on the remote touchpad to see the parallax and material reflections.

Also, iPad has had lidar for a while, which you can use to 3d scan stuff when building out AR apps.

I hope someone will find more compelling use cases for the hardware, but it will definitely have an ecosystem on day one.
Is the pay also "elite":)-

> It's popular in enterprise environments because it was popular in enterprises back in the day.

And so were Solaris and IRIX and HP/UX, until they weren't. And that happened in large part because Red Hat Linux was accessible to tech enthusiasts.

Not many could justify a Sun Ultra 1 or SGI Indigo for their homelab, but they could download Red Hat Linux for free and install it on an old PC. Eventually, these people began to question the price/performance of proprietary UNIX and hardware for their projects at work. The combination of lower price, widespread expertise, and commercial support from Linux vendors (especially Red Hat) circa 2000 is what marked the beginning of the end for proprietary UNIX.

And even when Red Hat Linux gave way to RHEL, it was still far less expensive than what the legacy UNIX vendors offered, plus clones such as Whitebox Enterprise Linux or CentOS were readily available for people to keep their RHEL skills current at home. That's helped to keep it going, but once IBM makes RHEL inaccessible to enthusiasts, the decline of RHEL in the marketplace will surely follow.
I think that's runtime safety protected. It should segfault if the program is built with "ReleaseSafe", the variable value is only known at runtime, and the variable overruns the array. There's a "ReleaseFast" mode which disables things like this. Also, if that variable is somehow known at comptime, then I'm pretty sure it will fail while compiling which is what you would want.
There's a possible higher-order argument for `quiver()`: the name is idiosyncratic, and sufficiently enough that it might tend to get remembered, which is useful for however many more minutes humans are actually writing code in this world.

As contrasted with "VectorPlot": was that "VectorPlot", "VectorGraph", "TensorPlot", or "PlotVector"?

"quiver" is short and sweet and slightly unusual but also conceptually related in a sense to the function.

I'm not saying that "quiver" is the better name, though I'm offering some arguments as to why it might be.
You're acknowledging the legitimacy of people who justify their existence by automating "Hey,listen!" That is foisted on every other individual on the planet, without their consent.
> What you call complacency, I call contentment.

Contentment and complacency are ostensibly the same thing, though the primary reason I tend towards the latter term is because I think we ought to aspire to growth (in whatever sense you determine for yourself). That's just my opinion though. It's also worth noting that I have no way of knowing what others are aspiring to, aside from what happens in their life over the years (which can be a poor proxy, given the role of luck).

Thanks for the feedback. It is somewhat vague on purpose, but we are starting to work on a new version of the site which should be more concrete.

To build on your initial idea - our system can use language models under the hood, but more importantly, beyond that, it can also:
1. Perform computations and reason in exact or statistically correct manner.
2. Provide sources of information that it used to answer questions.
If they're pruned and curated enough to not be immediately recognizable, let them have their chatGPT papers. Bad cheating is just a sign of not caring, but good cheating takes effort and smarts...
> It is interesting that so much foundational tech comes from Europe when I think there is a common perception of that generation of tech as being largely driven by the US (MIT, Bell, etc).

The UK chronically undervalues its computing sector. Lots of the pioneering hardware/fundamentals work was done at Bletchley Park in the 1940s, but was destroyed or remained classified for decades. We had a disproportionately large slice of the software industry in the 80s, but that seemed to be dismissed as just gaming; and of course games themselves aren't taken as seriously as e.g. cinema, despite being a much larger market.
> TLDR: I don't think meaningful work is reserved to "influences the thousandth generation after non nonexistence".

Sorry, I put that 10 vs 1000 year generation just to focus the conversation on AGI and not whether or not it's possible in some timeframe.

I personally feel like we could be _very_ close in 10-20 years, which is within my lifetime.

> All humans face the same anxiety of an unknown future. In this way, I don't think AGI is a _special_ concern to worry about any more than when your death date will be.

This is actually very reassuring, and I think a really good way for me to frame it for myself.
The tradeoff between the cost of many tests and the benefits of them is why I usually use a lower coverage requirement. Something like 80% or sometimes 60% seems to give most of the benefits with less of the cost.
I mean, this is the kind of thing I agree with, and would even say I'd trust a project with 90% coverage but no surviving test mutants vs. 100% and lots of mutants.

But in reality I'm usually looking at piles of like... 60-70%ish? Thousands of mutants. Maybe a round-trip fuzz or property test if I'm lucky.

So I keep aiming for 100% and hoping anyone else follows...
Who will be uploading gigabytes of videos to a headset to edit movies with a heavy device on your face instead of to a workstation where you have actual monitors and don't have to keep something heavy on you. Apple already sells machines that are good and comfortable for doing those things. Doing them in VR doesn't automatically make them better.
I've done this by accident a few times in my life - smell is usually the first indicator as the rubber components near the brakes start to suffer.
Surely there are attractive/cool looking journalists?
Agreed that the price of the tool can be justified by the value it helps create. I'm always bemused to know that most giant movies are not made with Apple tech, though? Seems render farms in custom linux toolchains are the norm, more than the tools that we so often see in marketing.

Or has that changed? I'd be lying if I said I keep up to date on this stuff.
Yup- they're breaking the law. This is really disappointing too, as OSO is a fairly decent project.
Is there a Juicero app for this or do I still have to squeeze the bags myself? I can't see the UI and squeeze the bag at the same time.
Yup. It offers tests as a solution, which is nice I guess, but kind if reminds me of Valgrind.

Another thing that caught me by surprise is passing arrays as references. Ages ago we used to pass arrays (`int arr[100]`) as pointers (`int*`). I'm sure C still supports this?

Literally everything. I'll save the explainer, since there's plenty of comments already doing that here.
Thanks! I have some context being Canadian, but I appreciate your explanation.

My thinking was more so that, regardless of legal enshrinement, “freedom” is a pretty universal component of the American ethos. (as I understand it)

You’d imagine that politicians would love to use people’s emotions on the topic, regardless if they have a de jure reason to oppose a change like gun control, or not, in the case of cars with remote off switches.
A smaller iPhone isn’t exactly an exploratory venture into a new market. And loud minorities don’t make a market.
That's because they asked for jet fighters and US military hardware to be in their movie. They were asking the government to participate significantly in the production.
>If you're going to use it for anything where accuracy is important, you're going to need a human in the loop,

Having a human in the loop doesn't mean nobody is replaced.

If I have a job that requires 20 people to respond to emails all day, I can have AI do the job with 1 person in the loop. That's 19 people replaced.

The other thing you need to think about is basically the trendline. Sure the AI requires humans in the loop now, but will it in the future? Just 1 year back a tool like chatGPT didn't exist. Now it exists. What's the next year going to bring? Most likely a tool Better than chatGPT. If "better" keeps happening every year, inevitably there will be a point where the AI doesn't need a human in the loop.
It's not like RedHat started the civil war with the recent announcement only...

Strange choice to release an article about RTS without mentioning Starcraft. I still play frequently as do plenty others, despite naysayers claiming the genre as dead for 5+ years. Stormgate coming out soon will hopefully scratch the itch for a sequel.
Both can be true. In some cases the remote driver can drive it, in other cases it requires physical presence.
Because they've already been voluntarily accepting it for 15 years.

How is the border shown in the movie? Is a screenshot available? How is the map embedded into the 'story'?
Yeah, it sounds like Prigozhin's empire is being systematically dismantled from top to bottom. I wouldn't be surprised if the useful bits are reconstituted under a different name with more direct oversight.
There was a great book, Red Carpet: Hollywood, China, and the Global Battle for Cultural Supremacy, that had both examples and which talked about how the idea that Hollywood is kowtowing to Beijing is coming to an end... not so much because of Hollywood, but because China has been working hard to build up their film industry to a point that they have regular domestic features and don't have to depend on foreign films. So while some studios still likely self-censor in an effort to get China distribution, as that avenue is increasingly closed off regardless of the film content, that self-censorship may go away.
Once we have one AGI machine wouldn't we quickly have as many as we wanted?
Personally, I stopped saying things like that when AlphaGo showed up. Thrashing a 9-dan master also wasn't supposed to be "something that tech could do."

Humans aren't really all that special.
Yes but also deeply besides the point the post you are replying to is trying to make.

His question is - can your mind wrap around the amount of progress that can happen in 1000 years? If yes, can you imagine that going from "now" to "fully automated cars" is a small amount of progress, relative to progress that's possible on 1000 years? If yes, great - now you can dial back that it probably won't take 1000 years.
Do your own research on that. Even endocrinologists oversee obvious reasons for low testosterone.

Usually, low testosterone is more a symptom. Better fix the underlying issue. Get somebody with expertise to look at your tests (i.e. not a government-paid doctor).

Look also into thyroid etc
Okay, so I'm not the only one haha. That was also the impression I got- some sort of NLP AI???
The person wasn't exactly living in subsidised housing and living on food stamps.

People who have the money WILL buy these as early adopters, but it's not a mass-market product.

Like the comment above said, the real game changer will be the Vision and Vision Air or whatever they're called. Either the tech gets cheaper or Apple will pare down the sensors and features to a point that satisfies the applications devs have built for the Pro and shown that they are viable.

The pass-through eye display for example is just 100% Apple flexing, not something a "normal" user will ever need. That's a few hundred off the price.
> 802.1q VLAN tags: access versus trunk

I think the parent was saying that these are Cisco specific terms; more generic terms would be "untagged" + "tagged".
Linux did not win on technical merits back then (it wasn't very good). It did not win because its geeky simps pushed it. It won because it was cheaper, good enough, and (more importantly) another company (Red Hat!, Caldera) was willing to walk you through compliance, offer support, and take the blame if shit went sideways.

Maybe your experience was true for your company. But it feels like revisionism to me, a fellow 90s Linux professional who introduced it to many orgs.
Iris sensors are just NIR cameras illuminated by a maximum of three different frequencies.

Samsung used to put them in their phones and they seem to have been using just one frequency.

Confidence is only sexy when it’s deserved.

People who jump straight to 100% coverage often cheat, and now we have to manually inspect all of the tests to see if they are actual tests. Sometimes life is easier when you are seeing that there are spots that need more tests because coverage is only 85% in a file.
I get that you think it's overhyped but how can you be thoroughly unimpressed? This stuff was pure science-fiction just a couple of years ago.
"because that's how we've always done it", and the churches still are influential enough that nobody opposed to it wants to spend the political capital on it, compared to all the other things that need fixing (and you can't just opt-out of) when there isn't a "Christian" party in power.
Yes, China will absolutely ban them because the other version exists. The point for China isn't just to manipulate their citizens, but control what the world sees as well... they have a billion+ person market and they know how to wield it to get what they want from corporations desperate to show good quarterly profits.

It's emblematic of Europe in general and the "de-baptism" movement, but Germany's clergy is especially egregious in wishing to go their "Synodal Way" and embracing not one, but several heretical propositions all at once. See, progressives believe that if they cave in to the zeitgeist and liberalize doctrines, and become more "inclusive and accepting" where anything goes, they believe that they will bolster their numbers and enjoy an influx of people to worship with them. However, they're only following in the footsteps of a revolution from 500 years ago, which just didn't work out so well. Nobody wants a watered down faith that doesn't judge. Why be Christian at all?
