Some archivists make decisions about what to archive. Something that isn't going to be runnable in the future would be a poor choice if you only have limited resources.

Also, some archivists have the choice to convert media. For example, rather than storing a Wordperfect document, perhaps it is best to convert to PDF. Rather than storing the ROM of an 80's arcade machine, or the whole machine, perhaps it is best to store an MPEG video of a playthrough. Rather than storing the data on a floppy disk in a filing cabinet, perhaps it is best to store the data on a server which will be kept up to date? Well resourced archives might be able to implement emulators - but then the question remains how should that be done - Is it okay to have a PDP11 emulator that runs on dos, emulated by dosbox in windows XP, emulated again by virtualbox on Windows 11?

A big part of being an archivist is making decisions of what to keep, what not to keep, what form to keep it in, and when to convert it.

There is no consensus - some archives knowingly keep data and software that they have no way to open/run, in the hope someone might bother in the future. Others keep dependency tables to ensure that they always have some combination of hardware and software to run/open any stored material.
Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”
The right answer is probably to pay the teachers of the problem kids more or adjust student teacher ratios- For example, with no behavior problems a single math teacher could probably handle instructing and grading 50 students, as this is the model in college calc.
Exactly. Pick whatever language you like. There are many more options.

> Those protests will go the way of the Google Bus protests: make a lot of noise, before they disappear.

Totally agree, I expect they’ll dissipate pretty quickly, because there’s no actual committed support.

>These have been a mainstay…

Disagree here. Yes, these issues have always been more visible in SF than elsewhere: mild climate, permissive drug laws, and a low income area in the Tenderloin that’s closer to more affluent areas than other major cities.

The extent has changed markedly over just the last few years. Police don’t respond to calls. Home invasions don’t result in charges.

Physical attacks by the unhoused used to be a concern of suburbanites on a weekend trip, not something residents really factored into realistic risk.

Now it’s something folks in my circle who have been here for a very long time witness and in some cases have experienced.

I hear you that to a certain extent this has always been here, and I agree. But this is outside of the normal bound of historical SF.
Registration required…so a no go. Arguing against others having the option to occasionally get a comfortable night’s sleep with a portable (two hose preferred) air conditioner just sounds silly. For the Guardian to only allow a snippet to be read without registration and to deploy a pop-up ad asking for money for this particular example of “quality” journalism seems even sillier.
They already use procedural generation for worlds and stupid NPCs. If adding Open Source AI makes offline single player games more credible, I'd be all for it. If not also because that would force them to make online multiplayer games a lot more palatable. The point is creating competition, not discouraging multiplayer.
> (presumably) those seven posters would be motivated by big tech money

Probably not, I think. They're more likely to be employees or friends/family of the company doing it because they were required or asked to.
I find comment 2. interesting for a couple reasons.

a) What it says about lowest unique bid auctions [1] and reverse auctions [2] with multiple bidders and multiple auctioneers. That the auctioneers will often (?) take the lowest bid, even if it represents "unrealistic" based on the criteria of the auction (this seems especially relevant in contract procurement).

Especially though, that even in a market, with relatively "transparent" information (concrete costs this much, lumber costs this much, ect...) there's still not much consumer transparency on what "reasonable" prices for construction represent. And consumers or "auctioneers" are likely to just take the lowest number, like a lowest unique bid auction. Whether its lack of information, strong preference for lowest price, can't be bothered to check reasonableness, purposeful cost obfuscation, or some other issue.

b) That people often fall for sunk cost issues. Especially on big purchases. Gov't might drop $100k contract without much notice. Except a $10B contract? Just keep throwing good money after bad. Consumer might switch soap brands on a tiny price fluctuation. Except a $1M house? Just keep throwing good money after bad.

Australia's had a rash of collapses lately, and it's felt this way.[3] 2000 companies in two years, and reading along, lots of companies that basically said "Give us another $200k as a payment right now." ("Even though we know we won't be able to finish your house, because our financials are horrible.") Except buyers felt like they had to, because they already committed to an expensive project.

Ted was exposed to tech and humans for quite some time. After the drug and psychological experiments on him at Harvard it is not surprising he would want to get away from that and also not at all surprising that his responses and reactions would be a bit extreme.

whenever you see the word "systemic," you can be sure that what follows is going to be painting in broad strokes at a population level and not something that is actually relevant to decisions an individual can make.
Chat bots are a way of saying Fuck you....without saying it.
I think the solution people are proposing is paying teachers more AND removing all the fat from the administration side in order to help fund some of it. This will not be enough since the education system has been through decades of being gutted in favor of stealing the public's money in favor of private interests. I am including the whole welfare system the U.S has in its "defense" budget that seems to be invisible to both parties who will otherwise fight tooth an nail for every other bone and scrap that comes in sight.

The U.S should be aiming for something like Finland for its education system. Their secret sauce is not what they teach at all. Teachers are well paid and its a very desirable job therefore its very competitive.

Contrast that to the U.S where its just above the poverty line and therefore most people do not want to do it.
I'm too lucky.
The society as a whole would benefit from more information transparency (in the job market and several other areas) but the economic incentives just don't align to make this happen.

Which is kinda funny because the free market itself is advertised based on how great it is - when there's information transparency.
Answer is simple: if you cant use technology safely - dont use it! Problem is nobody is teaching effective fraud defense for consumers at scale.

Disable online banking, use checkbook and write checks everywhere or carry cash. I still see older people use checkbooks from time to time, even shopping groceries.

Problem solved.

We require drivers license to operate vehicle, it is time we should require infosec101 training before handing over credit cards and or online banking accounts.

So that you cannot blame the bank for your own fault.

Or migrate to something Apple Pay, but that also does not guarantee 100% fraud prevention
It would be a very poor study that didn't control for those factors!

Why not start by supporting webauthn (Yubikeys)?

How come all online VISA transactions don't have to completed through a redirect to visa.com or master.com (or may bank website), but instead we're typing card numbers into sketchy websites? (I guess EU 2FA requirements are pushing the boundary, but very slowly and often in ways that still appear remarkably sketchy).

Trust scores of IPs and phones numbers is a tool, but when physically hardened security tokens aren't widely supported, I'd argue the essential tools simply aren't available to users.

> I'm in favor of laws that are precise and unambiguous, and not up to the interpretation of whatever courts and enforcement agencies wish to impose.

So am I but unfortunately the topic itself is highly nuanced. If it were that easy to say this type of usage is ok but this type isn’t then we would have been able to put better technological measures in place to keep our data safe.

And let’s be honest, GDPR is hardly an outlier. Most laws end up being nuanced when it comes to cutting edge technology. Whether it is intellectual property laws, computer misuse laws, etc. The only difference here is that innocent people aren’t being harmed by GDPR.

So if you’re going to complain about vague laws harming people, then GDPR is the literal last one you should be concerned about at this point in time.

The only reason people moan about GDPR is because entities like Facebook have brainwashed you into believing it’s bad. They say it’s “anti-business”, “harms innocent companies”, etc. but it’s all BS. And I say this as someone who has had to work inside the GDPR every day since it’s inception.

Now if you want to moan about innocent people being arrested in America for “hacking” because they send bug bounties, or even just click “view source” in Chrome…then I’m all ears. Or complain about how IP laws are being abused to hoard monopolies on obvious ideas. Or about how companies are sucking up other peoples copyrighted content for free to train proprietary GAN. Or about the abuses of DMCA.

The thing is, companies don’t to moan about those things because those abuses empower them. Whereas GDPR levels the playing field. So despite the fact that GDPR has never once been abused and the others frequently are, GDPR is the law that everyone gets pissy about.
This is the way. Best of both worlds although using js libraries is kind of a pain
If someone plugs math into a calculator, are they really learning something when it spits out an answer?

Of course! How to apply the calculator to problems, and how to discern if a problem is calculator-solveable. We've decided as a society it's better for students to use calculators as a tool in mathematics, why is chatGPT different in literature?
I consider code to be non-fiction, and ChatGPT will generate stuff that compiles and works most of the time. There's no need to triple-check the code output.
I think they are intentionally trying to change what communities are on Reddit. It was a throw away quote at the tail end of one of the many stores during the protest but it has given me pause as to whether I want to participate on reddit going forward:

edit: it's already like 2 gb
I'm misunderstanding your reasoning here. TS is already a new (superset) language which compiles to JS. Runtime types solve the problem of maintaining two duplicate, separate type systems -- one for compilation, one for validating data. I'm not seeing how that's related to OOP. For instance, my preferred workaround lib for this problem, `io-ts`, leans hard on functional programming.
Ah yes, the classic blame the immigrants take.
Windows didn't come preinstalled on my Mac.
The point is you need to collaborate with the LLM, not just expect it to provide fully-formed answers. I've saved countless hours of work over the past few months using GPT-4 to help me solve problems. One general framework can be to use it to help you google a solution instead of a problem. Googling a problem gives you all kinds of results, which you then need to dig through and understand in order to evaluate whether there's something that can be adapted to your use case. On the other hand, you can ask GPT-4 for solutions to the problem, and then google those, which cuts the process down significantly. Of course that's only one example. The pattern though is that you need to play to its strengths. It's not particularly smart, but it's very knowledgeable. Just like a human though, you can't expect it to perfectly regurgitate all the details. You use it for direction, and then refine from there, through conversation with the LLM as well as external research.
Yep.

That's why I'd dialed back my own usage and refrained from posting new content to my own subs years ago. It was was made painfully clear, razors-to-eyballs, that Reddit-corporate's direction and my own interests had little if any intersection, and that that set was decreasing over time.

That said, events of this past May and onwards have finally prompted me to take those subs private.
Thank you, rioters.
What you describe is not marketing - it's legal-ish language.

For marketing - listen to Sam Altman says. Listen to what VCs say. Listen to what influencers say.
In some cases outcomes might just be bad in major cities. It may be counter intuitive, but in many ways cities have felt the brunt of economic and racial injustices.

Are major cities more likely to contain people in abject poverty, who perceive their situation as hopeless, sometimes correctly? Many people struggle with learning, due to conditions at home, and without money there's no get out of jail free cards. Kids need people with money to advocate for them, or they can be abandoned by society, told they will never amount to nothing (very much like Biggy Smalls did), and their talents overlooked.

For people living in these conditions college may be achievable, but there's a very narrow window, with a ton of risk involved. To summarize, perhaps we're simply spending more, to combat bigger problems (often ineffectively); versus the quality of education being as poor as you claim.
Personally I'm of the opinion that we should focus on storing as many bytes of data of human endeavors as possible, and not worry about emulation/search/cataloging.

Future people will have better solutions to all these problems, and every bit of effort we put into organising our archives today is effort taken away from collecting more bytes.
I've never worked at DARPA, but yeah, they are a funding agency mostly so there's director-types who set research directions and create grant opportunities, admin-types who push money around and track status, and most the work is done by those who submit successful proposals. I've had a couple smallish tasks for DARPA while I was at a gov lab.

They have a nice model. The program managers (those who set research directions) are fixed-term IIRC, so they have very little incentive to politic, and instead can focus on seeing their pet program through to completion in the given time / funding.

One of their main "jobs" (aside from above), is to be an advocate for emerging tech among the military and civilian industrial partners to make sure it actually "becomes something".

To work at DARPA in this capacity usually requires a lot of successful R&D program management experience and some sense of grand vision. To work in a lesser, administrative capacity, including interacting with research partners, requires just a tad less, but on the average they've been exceptional, intelligent, and responsive partners for all the work we've done for them.
2¢, having non-runtime types makes code behavior easier to reason about, especially when aggressive type inference is present, and I'd hate to lose it

One of the things I don't love about Rust is how type inference affects program behavior in ways that can be really subtle. In Rust's case this is a necessary evil because it doesn't have a dynamic foundation, but TypeScript has done great without that compromise

> if you're naively messing with /etc/sudoers, that allowing passwordless "command" with sudo might be a bad idea.

It might be a bad idea, but that's not "bypassing local security restrictions", that's explicitly changing the local security restrictions such that that's not a restricted command for the user you're granting it to.

If you don't want someone to be able to read any file on the system, no, you shouldn't grant them the ability to run "cat" as root! But "I granted them X" "they ran X" → "they bypassed local security restrictions" is non sequitur.

> Any ascension is as much a matter of luck as it is of skill.

There are people who can consistently ascend on nearly every run, if they pick a favorable class.

It requires extremely careful play and encyclopedic knowledge of all the little tricks to avoid danger. There are a lot of them in the game, and so long as you remember that the game is turn-based and that so long as you are careful, you can almost always just leave if things look hairy.
And this is why the "Year of the Linux Desktop" will never come.
Multiple reasons, but most important:

1. ChatGPT is "play twice and forget" for 90% of users, driven by curiosity.

2. ChatGPT’s answers have actually gotten significantly worse over time.

3. No fun. It's too restricted, hesitant to answer, annoying moral lessons and disclaimers.

4. Distrust. How can it improve productivity or save your time if you always need to double check it with Google or Wikipedia?

There's no sense in rationalizing with folks who want to quantify intelligence in the first place. They're chasing statistical phantoms. Even if we take a generous view of what they said and interpret it to mean that brain development finalizes in the mid-teens, it's still a completely myopic view of what it means to be "smart."
The problem is that if you are a common joe, you cannot know which is which.
.So you have to assume that a random product will be leeching
I think this is close, but I'd go even further and say that the problem is that with real debt anyone can see the money in black and white, they require no special training to be able to understand real debt and read the numbers off an account summary. There's not much room for interpretation there.

With tech debt, you can ask several engineers and get very different answers about how much tech debt there is on a particular project. It's not well defined, subject to interpretation, and so doesn't fit well with management wanting quantify the objective value of doing something. I think this is the real reason it's often disregarded.

It requires a degree of trust from management to the engineers to properly address, and that trust can be abused. All sides are aware of this and I'm sure I'm not the only one that has used tech debt as an excuse for some minor padding here and there.
Didn't realise that "regression to the mean" was the same as "shaking faith in AI". That's a pretty amazing claim.
The quality of comments here is pathetic. These are some of the most misleading arguments I've ever seen. Every bit of evidence is some exception to the norm.
Brogue is genuinely beautiful. I know pure roguelikes should be white ascii on black, but it's incredible what a little color can do. And the way it handles dynamic events in its environments. Really makes the cave "biome" come alive.

I notice my usage goes in waves.

There are days and weeks I use it constantly for things, but then I don't touch it for a bit.

Its like I already learned what I needed to and don't have a use for it.

Regarding LLMs, we have a usecase but we need local models. The local models by itself are not good enough, so we need to train/fine-tune. To fine-tune we need a beefy computer. We have the beefy computer but its air-gapped... Ugh hahaha. It makes dev quite slow.

The other thing is that there is a learning curve on LLMs. You get burned by bad information and you might not use it until you learn of a usecase that doesnt require the information to be great. For instance, I'll describe a meeting/person I'm talking to, then ask what are 2 of the best questions I could ask. These questions have been great.

That is better than asking about an easily google-able question. You need to be exposed or creative enough to come up with the prompts.
Typescript is not really compiled to JS, only the type annotations are removed.

To make dynamically typed languages nice for bigger projects we have typescript for type annotations (it's does not make it a statically typed language!). It is there, it is used, it scales and it works. If your type script project "collapses entirely", it's probably not the languages fault.

Let me be clear that I love it here and will never leave. It’s an amazing city with incredible innovation, a massive tech ecosystem, walkable streets, fantastic parks, easy access to nature.

But our leadership has gone totally head-in-the-sand on public safety.

SF recovered from the prior cycles due to deliberate efforts by many smart committed people over many years. Now it’s our turn to drive a recovery.

And we can only do that if we can be honest with one another about the challenges to be faced.

2 x 3090 (renewed) ~1800

128gb ram ~400

reasonable processor/mobo/psu ~600

2Tb m2 drive ~94

In hindsight - I don't know that the second GPU was worth the spend. The c++ tooling is doing a very good job right now at spreading work between GPU vram and main ram and still being fast enough. Even ~4/5 tokens a second is fast enough to not feel like you're waiting.

I'd suggest skipping the second card and dropping the price quite a bit (~2100 vs ~2900) unless you want to tune/train models.
