> The fact some people still are is not an excuse for rasism in the opposite direction.

i think this is where the base assumptions diverge.

affirmative action is not meant to address individual person-to-person acts of racism, but the systemic institution-against-class racism that is still rooted in society; the cumulative effect of lots of little factors, where each individual factor is seemingly harmless, difficult to even pinpoint, perpetuated largely unnoticed, but the cumulative effect creates more or fewer opportunities for success in life depending on the color of your skin.

i know very few people who i would accuse of being racist. yet, everybody i know (of all races) participate in institutions that perpetuate systemic racism because it is impossible not to. affirmative action is an acknowledgement of, and attempt to balance, very real data-backed disparities in privilege.

I disagree that stars should be evenly distributed between 1 to 5 stars. I think it's quite possible that most books that people choose to read end up being a 3 (good with some flaws) or 4 (good but not all-time great). It's kind of like the same thing with pizza. I'd give most pizza a 3 or 4. Very few 1s and 5s to be sure. 1 doesn't have to mean bottom 20% of pizzas. It can mean "awful, couldn't finish," where very few pizzas would fall into that category. 5 doesn't need to mean "best 20% of pizzas," it can mean "telling strangers about it the next day," again where very few pizzas would fall into that category.
> Its a language model and it fooled DH. It hasnt gotten smarter than us yet. Its just faster at repeating what other humans verbally said.

I agree with this completely.
That said, I think this part is a bit unfair:

> Lets take someone, who is past their prime and interview them on a topic they have never worked on.

AI has been a part of DH's work for decades. For most of that time, he's dismissed the mainstream approach as being intelligent in the Strange Loop sense, and was involved in alternative approaches to AI.

Also, if we remove "faster", "repeating what other humans verbally said" is something a lot of humans do, especially little children. I think that may be the part that scares DH: at this point, what these models are doing is not that different (from a superficial POV) from what little kids or even some adults do.

I still agree with you though, and I think what DH misses here is the fact that IMHO there is no introspection at all in these models. Somehow, in the case of humans, we go from parroting like an LLM to introspection and actually original productions over the course of some years (n = 2 for me, but I think any parent can confirm this; watching this happen in front of my eyes has been one of greatest experiences in my life), but I can still understand how someone like DH would be confused by the current state of affairs.
> Well... words and decades of circumstances.

That also can be modified with words though (but for both good and bad). Unfortunately, those with expertise in this domain may not have all of our best interests at heart.

> If you removed the circumstances (the religion, the conflict, the money, geography, etc) then the words would be absolutely hollow.

There's also the problem of non-religious faith based belief.
So, I did not realize these were all supposed to be the same location.

I find it funny that my best guess was what appeared to me to be a Ohio conference room.
I used a paper from 1968 ( https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.1968.0004 ), and treating the centripetal acceleration due to orbital motion as uniform acceleration. It's good enough for the Earth-Sun system, but it'll fail in the case of something like close orbiting pulsars.
Someday, cosmetic geneticists will offer to sell you extra middle fingers.
" ...In my book," pretty much sums it up. Literally everyone who seems to pontificate on a Chat bot and new Photoshop features has a book and can't seem to help but mention it. Replace "book" with literally anything else and you can see it's completely about ego and money at the end of the day. He's probably getting ready to announce he accepted a position from one of these recently funded AI companies and whatever he's getting from that is more than he could make from his book, academia and giving interviews where he talks about humanity's fear of fire.
My Nest Thermostat was an example where I lost time.

Sure I didn't have to walk down the stairs to change the temperature a few times, but as the Thermostat started to bug out, I spent hours trying to fix it. I lost more time than I ever saved.
AFAIK, comparing to what Red Hat offers:

* openSUSE Factory is comparable to Fedora Rawhide (upstream "development" rolling release);

* openSUSE Tumbleweed is comparable to CentOS Stream (upstream "stable" rolling release);

* openSUSE Leap is comparable to SLE and RHEL (stable conventional point releases).
Exceptionally well. Zig by default outputs valgrind client requests to annotate undefined memory. This makes Valgrind even more an effective tool for zig code than for C code.
I also did not read the very brief introduction. Then, some of the pictures looked similar and I got suspicious.

If you can edit out the spoiler in your comment that might be polite.
The best and most common uses of it I've found so far is finding recipes. GPT 3.5 is good at it but you generally need to find an actual recipe once you get an idea from it but GPT4 does a much better job of giving you a coherent recipe from the start (trust but verify though).

I give it some restrictions and a few preferences and ask it to suggest 20 things for me to cook. It's very helpful.

I had always heard of Microsoft as a good "rest and vest" employer: lower pay than its competitors but also less work and less stress. Is the latter part not true? I've heard it compared to a place like Amazon that is high pay but high stress.
Can you elaborate a bit more on the reason?
Games do use GPGPU through DirectX12 compute shaders.

Maybe Vulkan compute shaders if cross-platform capability is desired.

Video Games already have a huge pipeline of GPU-compute setup for vertex / pixel shaders, geometry shaders and more. Throwing a DirectX Compute Shader / Vulkan Shader on top is no biggie. But this is a lot of cruft to add to a non-video game (gotta initialize DirectX or Vulkan graphics just to start running compute shaders, and ignoring the default vertex/pixel shaders that the APIs are designed for...)

> most notably realistic physics simulations

Physics simulation is a dead-end. There's no reason to do physics on GPU, because copying the data from CPU->GPU is slow, and GPU -> CPU is slower.

By the time all the copying, calculating, and copying back is done, the GPU-physics data is obsolete and the CPU might as well have run it locally in L3 cache instead.

I think there's a chance that GPGPU video games could exist, but the graphics would have to be delayed relative to the physics simulation.

Time X starts running a step of the physics simulation. Time X+1 the physics simulation copies back to CPU, and gives CPU-time to finalize the results. Time X+2 CPU copies the data into the Vertex/Pixel shaders for rendering to the user.

But the game engine, game, and graphics will have to be specifically tailored for GPGPU graphics. Still, real engines like Claybook have done this: https://ubm-twvideo01.s3.amazonaws.com/o1/vault/gdc2018/pres...
I was interviewing with Canonical in 2020, and I aced all interviews. The hiring manager began the salary discussion. He said he could offer 80k USD. He asked how much I wanted. I said 110k USD but was negotiable (I'm based in India), He agreed and said it was fair and said he could make that offer. Just had to get back to me. I got a form rejection letter a day later. I later discovered Canonical hates candidates who ask for more money. I learnt very early on that you never accept the first offer made to you. Ask for a little more than you'd have accepted, and see what move they make. I felt shitty since I would have taken 80k too, back then. But I'm glad I asked for what I felt I was worth. But yeah, steer clear of all roles with Canonical.
Hi everyone!
I'm the Founder of Continent. I previously worked at The Sandbox at the Finance department and then decided to focus on building a social network for NFTs.
Continent stands as the pioneering social network that enables users to share their NFTs, connect with friends based on shared collections, engage in conversations, foster social connections, explore fresh NFTs, monetize their content, and much more.
I would very much like to hear your feedback on our product and what problems you have that we can solve.
I would also like to mention that all early users will have access to a free Continent NFT. This NFT will be intimately tied to the growth and development of the platform! However, the supply will be capped at 10,000 so sign up now!
Excel is the most widely used no-code/low-code environment by a wide margin. It's not surprising that something in such widespread use has a lot of bugs in aggregate. It's not the typical office automation written in <pick your favorite language> is bug-free either.
But if your commercial or scientific software is only supported on RHEL or SLES then you can't just "use Debian."
Nobody will listen to ones unhinged rants outside though. Instead of being upvoted people just look at them funny.
> But Goodreads allows any user, not just those who’ve received advance copies, to leave ratings months before books are released. Authors who’ve become targets of review-bombing campaigns say there’s little moderation or recourse to report the harassment. Writers dealing with stalkers have pointed to the same problem.

"Problem": chicken-and-egg problem. Until it's actually published, there's little or no way for a review site to verify that you actually got it, let alone read it.

Once it's published, people look at the reviews to decide whether to buy it. So where are those reviews going to come from, for a self-published book?

Solution: the publisher gives advance review copies to readers. Yes, the system IS ripe for abuse. But if you're reading a review, it ought to be apparent whether the reviewer actually read the book, or whether they have anything interesting to say.

And Goodreads should remove the bad ones.

Don't live in a country that does this, so I don't know.

I ask for a menu.

Haven't seen that happen yet. There are some parking lots that require an app to park in them, but I just park elsewhere. The laundry room in my apartment complex requires an app to pay, so I just go to the laundromat down the street instead.

I do have a smartphone, although I'll switch to the dumbest phone I can find when this one dies. I do not use any apps for doing any commerce or the like, though. It's far too risky for my taste.

Since Apollo shut down ive been checking out lemmy.world (via wefwef.app[1], a web client app thats almost a carbon copy clone of Apollo) and I guess im slowly getting how the whole thing works, and into this whole fediverse thing.

Whilst there it not much content right now, you can experience first hand how the old communities you had on Reddit are being recreated there.
It’s kind of fascinating to watch and you also slowly realze that maybe it might be actually a great thing if the content is not going owned by any single company and that what happened with reddit could never happen here. But who knows?

I think we're seeing increased scrutiny towards any social network remaining after Reddit and Twitter have been anti-consumer in their monetization practices.

Personally, I've taken a great interest in ultimate-guitar.com, which I consider the equivalent of Goodreads for guitar and other music tabs. Networks like UG and Goodreads are the juiciest targets for corporate takeovers, and both those sites were entirely started on the contributions of non-employees. It doesn't matter if they have now started to produce the content themselves, they wouldn't have had the chance to without the work put in by others already.

I encourage you, reader, to look into the social networks you use and to think about how you can archive the data submitted by the public. UG caught my attention because I refuse to allow them to steal their users' content after the fact just because they added some lines to their ToS. I don't know that that's their plan, but based on everything I've seen it seem inevitable.

I hope someone else is looking to download all of Goodreads' data to make it available to future hobbyists and grassroots websites.
"Search this finite part of a number line" is probably fairly accurate in describing many Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) techniques. Such that, if you do get a breakthrough at that, you may see larger advances in optimization.

I think you are underestimating how much disposable income some people have.

People buy skiing equipment for 2000€ Euros just to go skiing a few times a year. They buy mountain bikes or road bikes for 5000€. They buy brake upgrades on their sports car for 7000€.

I think Apple will easily find a few people willing to spend 4000€ on a toy.

Whether the market will be big enough for 3rd party developers to be sustainable is another question.
In my experience, investors and secondarily tech execs are in the bubble. From porta-potties to snack chop manufacturers, every CEO is being asked what they’re doing about AI by their board.

The actual developers range from enthusiastic to skeptical. Actual developers take a practical perspective IMO.
There is something like a paradox of automation at play, too. Both business and programmers are aligned on not wanting drudgery, but this means that a) we undervalue first-order work, and b) our automation reach often exceeds our grasp (k8s being an excellent example). Perhaps my thinking is colored by my recent read of Patrick O'Brian's excellent "Master and Commander" series of historical novels, about early 18th century English sailing ships, but the lack of automation is part of the romance - just to get from "here" to "there" required enormous effort. And who knows? Maybe if we take that approach we can press people into the software service by force, just like in the good old days!
swastika is pretty common holy symbol in India, since thousands of years, a few decades of nazi use is not going to change that.

Yeah this seems compelling, especially the economics of it when paying for machine time.
Definitely. So in a robust system, you might also have to look at code coverage to see if the test interacts with any code changes since the last minor version increment.

If I change the test but not the code, that may be a clarification. If I change both, it’s ambiguous.

I initially thought so too. But his wording wasn't very self-building, it was all about how he was wrong, scared, etc... Overall not the take (wording) I'd expect from someone doing self promotion.
My thought has been that most of the IT revolution hasn't been able to produce much extra goods, its all about Information, all it can do is help us optimize existing goods producing processes. As a result much of the productivity within the Information Technology advancement, has done little in the way of actual wealth creation, apart from optimizing existing processes, which hits a limit pretty fast.
Generally bordem? Sometimes if I'm doing a lot of these types of work I get sloppy and can transpose numbers or make small errors.

For example, my comment obviously made you feel upset. There is no reason to believe I have not understood the claim correctly. I just disagreed with it. Which should be okay. Not everyone has to agree with you, right? That would be egotistical.

But let's look at a clear example that is much harder to dispute in how emotions play a role. You know that _joy_ and _excitement_ you get when you solve a really tough problem? How you overcame all that _frustration_ and _disappointment_? That dopamine hit that makes you feel on top of the world? That also is part of what drives you to keep pursuing these things. That makes you _stubborn_ and _focused_ because you have _pride_ and you're _curiosity_ _driven_. Without emotions you wouldn't be doing this in the first place.

The thing is that your biological machine was designed with emotions into the operating system. It is part of the language itself. But we are probably instead thinking of the definition of emotions differently. Just because you don't notice your feelings doesn't mean they aren't there. Indifference, seriousness, sincerity, ennui, indigence, self-confidence, reluctance, calmness, annoyance, insightfulness, and perseverance are all emotions, some of which you are exhibiting right now as you read this. What I propose instead is that recognizing this you can in turn control your emotions rather than let them be in control of you, which I think you'd fully agree upon. Emotions don't have to be extreme but nor do they need to be depressed (diction chosen with intent). They don't have to cleanly fit in a bin. Instead, emotions to us are like water to a fish. Rather than ridding yourself of emotions, you harness them. I'd suggest that it is a far better way to reach your goals as your working with the wetware you've been given instead of working against it. You don't need to install a new operating system but just learn to exploit the one you have. That's why I say that you are human too Mr Spock.
Some of us techies are also using it a tool, which is what it is, basically. E.g. I had to write a bunch of Groovy and since I don't write a lot of it all the time, I need to occasionally lookup some syntax etc. So I have the ChatGPT window open on the side and its answers, while not entirely perfect, are more than enough to keep me going at a brisk pace. No speedbreakers like having to scroll through bunch of non-sense search results and reading through answers on Stackoverflow to find what I'm looking for. 80-90% of the time, I don't even need to ask a follow-up question - the first answer is enough.

It is basically like a lubricant for my thought process.
My beef with TLA+ is that it's not the same code, so while you're testing the design yes, you aren't testing the implementation of the design, which is just as important (if not harder too) to get right.
>That thing was meant to be manual, no electricity, nothing, ever.

It was? Who decided this? It wasn't SAE.
Agreed 100%. He's brilliant, but he's not a programmer. IMO he's been tricked, in a way that Chompsky was not.
