Sony also made the right choice in the PS1 design by basically asking developers what they wanted WRT to hardware. Developers didn't want the wacky-ass designs of the Saturn or Jaguar. They didn't want to have to orchestrate multiple CPUs or a bunch of proprietary peripheral chips to get optimal performance. Developers wanted a sane hardware design and good developer tools.
I keep referring to the situation where a supplier sold the Cisco select range. If you clicked the page on their site, select showed up in the url and their way blocked your connection.
Recently people have claimed GPT4 is an ensemble model with 8 different models under the hood. My guess is that the "nerfing"(I've noticed it as well at random times) is when the model directs a question to the wrong underlying model

From what I have seen so far Threads seems to have been an incredibly rushed and premature launch, done directly to counter Twitter's missteps from the last few weeks. And the decision is proving to be the absolute correct one.

What I don't understand is why Bluesky didn't seize the opportunity first. People were literally banging on their doors begging to be let in and they continued to go "sorry we are exclusive, invites only". Now no one gives a shit.
You notice there how I was specific about "nazi policies" right? It's to avoid a discussion like this one. I don't care about party affiliation per se, I am talking about advocating specific policies and worldviews.

Things like ethnonationism, eugenics, categorizing certain minorities as inherently criminal, white natalism: things that, if you could present them to a 1945-style straw nazi they'd say "yup that's us."

And all that aside, you know that people still self identify as nazis right? It's not preposterous that they show up here. They have jobs and kids and hobbies and professional aspirations, and if a chance to talk about the degeneracy of society re: immigration comes on the tech forum, hey, they know also how to slide into that conversation without saying anything too crass.

And yes, you could elide all that as "people I disagree with" if you're devoted to being particularly sloppy. Because I do disagree with them, and don't want them here? Is that not the case for you?
Mark Zuckerberg shields daughters’ faces in Instagram post, sparking outrage
I mean, you can't delete your account on Google Sheets but leave Google Docs intact.

So it really depends on whether you think you have a separate Threads account, or just an Instagram account that Threads uses. It seems like the latter is the case though.
I guess at first it was because I wanted to fix one particular problem at my company, that they previously had to hire a freelancer for, before having to maintain an in house tool for it.

My thinking was like: my bosses aren't dumb enough to waste thousands of dollars/man hours on something that a 20-100$ monthly subscription could fix, there must be no suitable solution, there is obviously a market for this.

(Turns out they maybe are dumb enough.)

Making money would be one of my goals yeah.

If I make it free I'm sure to have users, starting with my employer. I'm not sure about the numbers of features/hours I'd have to invest to start to reasonably charge people, unless I make it extremelyyyy cheap.
I've been camping on a mountainside when a storm came over at night and rocky outcrops on the ridge above us were struck repeatedly by lightning.

In the morning, clear blue skies, and we climbed up to have a look. Was sadly not very dramatic, we were expecting chunks of rock blown off, but you could see that the sudden heat had created fresh fissures, and around what we thought was the ground zero of a strike, the surface of the rock had become friable for a few centimetres.

But water/ice is always going to be a dominant feature in rock wasting, those lightning cracks just give it easier ingress.
Indeed, allowing employers to coerce the speech of employees by punishing them for actions outside of the reasonable scope of employment is very worrying. Unfortunately, a good deal of the modern "left" supports it when they dislike the person. Much of the right does too, which I have equal disdain for, but I will at least acknowledge it can be logically consistent with some right-wing philosophies (on the more ancap end). Whereas it's a bit strange to see "socialists" saying "but they're a private company!"

However speech in the classroom is within the scope of your job duties. So my employer should not be able to fire me for wearing a Trump or Biden sticker off the clock, but it is fair to prohibit me from wearing it whilst on the job, and to sanction me if I'm proselytizing to customers during my duties
Returning a 200 response for a resource that doesn't exist is wrong

Isn't that just begging the question? What defines whether a resource exists? Is it the client's knowledge about the webserver backend configuration, or the server's? If a server returns a 200 response, the resource exists, by definition. It may or may not have data, but again, that's not up to the client to decide. If the server says the resource exists and has no data, then that's the authoritative answer.
> "Back-of-envelope, that Osceola event released about 10^19 Joules of energy*. The scale of these things is absolutely incredible."

I wonder can we put a kind of "earth turbine" to capture some of that energy? Maybe tap it somehow to not release all in one catastrophe and make it safer at the same time.
The only way we'll ever actually get around to solving the problems with EVs is if they're widely produced and used. I'm not saying that battery or charging station production will follow any sort of exponential curve, but economies of scale are a thing, and once EV ownership hits a critical mass, they will be catered to.

A brave soul at my condo complex bought a tesla. I have been trying to get the board to allow the installation of charging spots for years now, but if there are enough of us, it will be impossible to ignore us.
I would push back on the interpretation that syntactic sugar, by virtue of making programs shorter, is more expressive. APL folds entire compositions into single character sequences, but one would probably not argue that it is more expressive than Brainfuck.

Rather, it seems expressiveness as used in common parlance is closer to ease of comprehension. We like programs that are easy to "think of", that are "natural" to write in that they are succinct and "natural" to read in that they mimic what you are conceptually trying to accomplish. This has very little to do with programming language design and more the experience of the language user - aesthetics, really.
Depends who buys the better steroids/drug cocktails. I hope that by some miracle of money and medical malpractice they both come out looking like the hulk and bane from batman.
The current Honda hybrids (Civic for sure and I think CRV also) work kind of that way - in slow speeds it works like a series hybrid and only in freeway speeds it connects the ICE to the wheels.

The claimed mileage is similar to Toyota's planetary power splitting thingie, no idea how it works in the real world.

You could also say that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are series hybrids, since the fuel cell mostly charges a battery, which is much more flexible in what power it can provides and can be recuperated into, unlike a fuel cell which is one-way.

Time management, project management, chat, calendars, email, operating systems themselves, all this shit we evolved into because we started with 8.3 char file limits, booting from floppy disks, other long forgotten hardware based concessions, and a host of other cruft we still haven't thrown off.

Our interfaces are not based on first principles of reality or organized thinking, they're all just hodgepodge artifacts evolved from tty interfaces and limited input options that were supersceded by lowest common denominator GUIs and every hostile app trying to lock in user data.

Only now are we starting to see a few "platform apps" start to converge towards slightly better taxonomies around calendars and tasks, the amount of context switching is still miserable overall.
If that's your argument, then we have nothing to discuss. Go on thinking that. I will go on not thinking that.
Meta purposely had ex-Twitter employees that it hire not work on Threads.
I feel like it’s left out that the overall trajectory of civilization may need correction.

What if instead of more efficient 20th century technologies we moved away from motor vehicles as a transportation class and into more livable, higher density and more nature preserving cities.

How come that’s not the first conversation?

I do agree with the common sense argument that less impact earlier is better that’s described in the article, but the entire conversation seems to have stalled out on “better version of what we have now” instead of a more radical but much more long-term sustainable vision of society transformed to be in balance with natural life support systems.

The conversation around sustainability is always about merely adjusting the system that has wrought profound destruction to the planet — always smart sounding but not particularly wise.
Instagram has a better brand for this sort of thing.

It's kind of incredible how fast OpenAI (now also known as ClosedAI) is going through the enshittification process. Even Facebook took around a decade to reach this level.

OpenAI has an amazing core product, but in the span of six months:

* Went from an amazing and inspiring open company that even put "Open" in their name to a fully locked up commercial beast.

* Non-existent customers support and all kinds of borderline illegal billing practice. You guys are definitely aware that when there's a network error on the API or ChatGPT, the user still gets charged. And there's a lot of these errors. I get roughly one per hour or two.

* Frustratingly loose interpretation of EU data protection rules. For example, the setting to say "don't use my personal chat data" is connected to the setting to save conversations. So you can't disable it without losing all your chat history.

* Clearly nerfing the ChatGPT v4 products, at least according to hundreds or even thousands of commenters here and on reddit, while denying to have made any changes.

* Use of cheap human labor in developing countries through shady anonymous companies (look up the company Sama who pay Kenyan workers about $1.5 an hour).

* Not to mention the huge questions around the secret training dataset and whether large portions of it consist of illegally obtained private data (see the recent class court case in California)
> Etam absolutely allows you to authenticate an unencrypted context.

You can specify an EtM construction that accepts additional authenticated data. However, you can also do it insecurely (as the post I linked above describes) without realizing you did it insecurely. This is why most people prefer to use cryptographer-approved AEAD modes.

> In fact, you must ensure that the nonce, a piece of unencrypted context, is authenticated.

For CBC mode, sure. For CTR mode? Not really.

> Nothing stops you from throwing more stuff in there.

What prevents an attacker from shifting bits from the ciphertext field into the AAD field in the decrypt path and yield the same HMAC tag? Unless you have an answer to this question, vanilla "encrypt then MAC" is not sufficient. You need a better-engineered construction than that.

I'm pretty sure the linked post covered all of this nuance. Please let me know if something wasn't clear, or you feel it was missing.
That is plainly allowed under federal law.

What projects are you making using LLMs?
As the title suggests, what projects are you all building using these new stacks: Langchain, Llama Index etc along with LLMs?
Ever read a Fortran code base? I once worked with a vendor that had nearly zero documentation, but at least you could get source and it was very well commented. You could spend a few hours and actually learn what was going on. The comments helped get enough of an idea to where reading the code wasn't too bad. I don't think I would've had the patience to only read the code without some assistance in what I should be looking for.
EVs don’t allow that. Either you’re driving or charging.
Power-input. US dryers would typically work on 110 volts mains. Those similar dryers in the EU or Australia are working on 220 volts mains. Took me a while to click on why the great differences in working-times. 15 amps wiring in the US means 1650 watts, the same wiring in EU is 3300 watts.
Can you try notionsmith.ai and let me know what you think?

I've been working on LLMs for creative tasks and believe a mix of chain of thought and injecting stochasticity (like instructing the LLM to use certain random letters pulled from an RNG in a certain way at certain points) can go a long way in terms of getting closer to human-like creativity
I don't understand your point about time; how does 20 small vehicles not take up more room than a bus?
Maybe I'm missing something here or I'm just being dense but what exactly is the problem with EtM and AAD? Just use a suitable encoding like MAC(len(aad) || aad || E(plain))
Yes, but energy is not consumed by that process, it is only converted into heat. The degradation usually is a result of the heat produced. If we’re talking about mater to energy transitions, we need to start talking about special relativity.

I said 100% electrical efficiency because from the prongs of the plug, through the conductors in the appliance cord, the rheostat, all electrical connection and contact points, and of course the hearing element itself all will product heat as a consequence of electricity flowing through, and being resisted by, it’s various components.

It was pointed out that this does not mean “energy bill efficient” which is totally correct: this whole thing is a somewhat silly thought experiment to consider what it really means for something to be efficient.
This code screams for SIMD! If you can change the prototype to take an explicit length, you could easily read and process 16 bytes at a time (the compares will give you values you can just add and subtract directly). Heck, even calling strlen() at the function's start to get the explicit length would probably be worth it.
How did you get into e-ink screen programming? I read here that e-inks are a market dominated by one company and that all the toolchain is owned by them, did you make your tools yourself?

After reading, I don't think <5% points is helpful to add to discussion here without pointing it out explicitly, people are asserting much wilder claims, regularly
The literal only goal of a public company is to make money for its shareholders; shareholder wealth maximization.

Yep. It's amazing how people are taking "the reddit hivemind thinks ChatGPT was gimped" as some kind of objective fact.
Him and Jobs both. The way things are headed now, I suspect the Elon biopic will give them all a run for their money.
Agreed. Personally, what {pf,open}sense add aren't worth not just running pf/pfsync/carp on straight OpenBSD. Yes...no flashy GUI, but it's all well documented.
Those vehicles will trickle down through the market. In 5 years’ time there will be lots of second hand electrics, as their rich owners trade in for the latest and greatest.

Do you have any links about the CO2 footprint? I don’t see how the total lifetime footprint could be higher than a fuel burner
Far more politically expedient to shoot it into the sun.
Both Zuck and Musk are unreliable people who can't be taken at face value. I wouldn't put any level of shenanigans past either of them.
Nobody actually disagrees with this take, but here's what happens. This has happened now three times in my hometown.

1. Some Politician: We need to invest in public transportation.

2. Planning Commission: Okay but it's geographically infeasible to blanket the city in busses, the only thing that is going to work is a rail system to cover the long distances and have busses to cover the last mile.

3. Sounds great! Let's put together a proposal.

4. Politician: Hahahahahahahaha we can't afford that. Also people will riot if we eminent domain literally thousands of homes.

5. Politician: What if we just added really annoying bike lanes to like 3 roads that will sit there empty because a dedicated lane wasn't what was stopping people from riding their bikes?

6. Planning Commission: But that won't actually he....

7. Politician: LOOK AT HOW WE'RE INVESTING IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!!1 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. GREEN. ENVIRONMENT.

Like good lord if they would actually commit to more than just some symbolic non-solutions I would volunteer to swing a hammer to lay tracks.
fun fact: "minimal install" was a full install with a bunch of "apt purge" afterwards.
It is too soon to tell but my intuition here is that this platform is primarily going to be driven by bluecheckmarks and influencers. And it is in Meta's interest to display that as the main feed. If and when the people we actually follow start posting, they might add a follower tab
Man, people are being really rude here just for me asking a question.
I threw together a quick risc-v vectorized implementation:

size_t run(char *str) {
uint8_t *p = (uint8_t*)str;
long end = 0;
size_t res = 0, vl;
while (1) {
vl = __riscv_vsetvlmax_e8m8();
vuint8m8_t v = __riscv_vle8ff_v_u8m8(p, &vl, vl);
end = __riscv_vfirst_m_b1(__riscv_vmseq_vx_u8m8_b1(v, '\0', vl), vl);
if (end >= 0)
break;
res += __riscv_vcpop_m_b1(__riscv_vmseq_vx_u8m8_b1(v, 's', vl), vl);
res -= __riscv_vcpop_m_b1(__riscv_vmseq_vx_u8m8_b1(v, 'p', vl), vl);
p += vl;
}
vl = __riscv_vsetvl_e8m8(end);
vuint8m8_t v = __riscv_vle8_v_u8m8(p, vl);
res += __riscv_vcpop_m_b1(__riscv_vmseq_vx_u8m8_b1(v, 's', vl), vl);
res -= __riscv_vcpop_m_b1(__riscv_vmseq_vx_u8m8_b1(v, 'p', vl), vl);
return res;
}

Here are the results from the above, the switch and the table c implementation, ran on my mangopi mq pro (C906, in order rv64gc with rvv 0.7.1, and a 128 bit vector length):

switch: 0.19 Bytes/Cycle
tbl: 0.17 Bytes/Cycle
rvv: 1.57 Bytes/Cycle (dips down to 1.35 after ~30 KiB)

Edit: you can go up to 2/1.7 Bytes/Cycle, if you make sure the pointer is page aligned (and vl isn't larger than the page size), see comments
I mean I may be able to bring to the same level, it's just that at my current rate of progress it would take like 6 months.
In the list of missing things, I would also mention that Europe is missing.

I think you misread the comment you replied to.
Ah very good, now we are all cleared up :)

I expect that this includes people with disabilities (physical, learning) that prevent computer use, and that it’s a large number of people?
I agree with this, and some of this does come up in code review questions (point #4). Sometimes you can already predict a question or predict a mistake someone is likely to make, especially knowing your colleagues/context. In those cases a preemptive comment makes sense, but only if you couldn't somehow define that mistake/misconception out of existence in the code itself.
> Normal job switching was just pent-up and time-delayed to become concentrated into a shorter time window for a while.

Emphasis mine. So you do agree there actually was a great resignation. You just disagree with the explanation given for it.
If your argument is "trust them bro", then I'm not the one who is making "absurdly dumb" statements.
I have an 8GB, and I am considering two more 8GB, it should I get a single 16GB? The 8GB card was donated, and we need some pipelining... I have 10~15 2GB quadro cards... Apparently useless.

Can we instead talk about how using pullquote styling when the text is not a pullquote- in this case, it's the actual article content- is terrible from a usability standpoint? It increases cognitive load for a web part to take on the design characteristics for a role it does not play.
How is DDOS protection the issue then? Isn’t the issue just DDOS?
I was playing with the API and found that it returned better answers than ChatGPT. ChatGPT isn't even able to solve simple Python problems anymore, even if you try to help it. And some time ago it did these same problems with ease.

My guess is that they began to restrict ChatGPT because they can't sell that. They probably want to sell you CodeGPT or other products in the future so why would they give that away for free? ChatGPT is just a teaser.
GTA 3 was going to come to the Dreamcast first at one point. Or at least I'm sure I read that somewhere.
We'll never know if Elon would have shot himself more in the foot though without a clear competitive threat. Maybe some more time would have paid off? Though I agree that rate limiting + need to be signed in catastrophe over July 4 weekend seemed to be the sweet spot.
> Musk assumes that transit is an engineering problem, about vehicle design and technology. In fact, providing cost-effective and liberating transportation in cities requires solving a geometry problem. This confusion is very common in transport technology circles.

It's actually a psychology problem and I wish more urban/transit planners understood that.

You'd be hard-pressed to make buses go bumper to bumper like cars in traffic, meaning there's space to spare even when most people use public transport to move around. Geometry is actually a constraint only on the terminals - parking lots consume a lot of land.

Meanwhile people choose to drive not because it's efficient (it's not, far from it), but because for them it has advantages which can't be summarized as a single number like average travel time. If you ask around you'll find that most people don't think too hard about the exact amount of minutes their commute takes. They just want to be on time and once that's taken care of, other factors become more important.

To solve this you have to change how public transport is perceived.

I'm not American so bear with me here: One way to do it is to give a familiar experience. If statistics are to be believed, half of US K-12 students get to school by bus. Also, people regularly fly. Private transport via air is comparatively rare. This is all mass transit.

To me the core features of these two experiences are:

-Everyone sits.

-Everyone is accounted for.

-Changes are minimized, if present at all.

-There's a schedule and it's treated seriously.

It appears that Elon Musk, despite being generally unhinged, knows more about human nature than transit planners, which is weird, because that's a low bar to clear.
Except it's not. Bindings to C libraries are.
> We all know that if you have money, you can just throw in more servers.

Definitely not true at Facebook scale. You need to be smart, fast, _and_ throw more servers at it.
