“[thumbs up]”

If you message requires any kind of action to be taken rather than an immediate answer it becomes very ambiguous.
This comment was very helpful for me, thanks.

I’ve been working with RAG for months, too, and it’s vanishingly rare to see anything but toy examples in the wild. This is a solid, concise list of where the dragons are.

Any idea where all the RAG practitioners hang out and trade war stories? Is there a forum or Discord or something?

As I suspect that op meant that left sidebar that Ubuntu actually introduced with Unity. It was definitely ugly and unnecessary, especially with Amazon button on it by default (if I recall correctly).
I use Ubuntu Server. Should I be moving to Debian? I really like Ubuntu (user since Breezy Badger back when Mark Shuttleworth shipped CDs to everyone) but the whole snap thing has been a pain. They change around on you, don't work well (docker or something installed as a snap for me and failed in a strange way), and are quite slow (visually apparent load time).

I really don't want to worry about this stuff on Ubuntu Server. Has anyone else moved to Debian?
"Forcing everyone to public transport is horrible"

And yet we effectively force most people to drive private cars largely on basis of how our cities are laid out and how we invest in infrastructure.

I'd also suggest that in many countries with high PT usage (Japan etc.), very few people feel "forced" to take it. Many services operate with very little taxpayer funding (certainly no more than goes into building & maintaining roads etc.)

Yeah the article clearly states that the message sent was "please confirm contract" and the response was [thumbs up].
That's not true. It was not launched in the EU because of privacy laws / data sharing between Instagram and the new product, etc.
The secret sauce is Intellij and some community knowledge. There's a library for everything and a great IDE makes it pretty painless and fun. Not sure I'd always jump for it thanks to the GIL but I wouldn't mind a job where it's my primary instead of my secondary or third language.

The biggest pain with it is of course refactoring. It's tedious, but I think still comes out ahead in terms of productivity for high level stuff.
does this mean you can run, say, modern openCL code on smth like a VisionFive2?
If I spoke with you on the phone about the contract and sent you the contract later on WhatsApp with a message please confirm the contract. And you answered with thumbs up. I would assume that you are confirming the contract and not that you received it.
First you said articulated, not proof, so you're moving the goalposts to be argumentative and aren't discussing in good faith. Second, you seem to be under the impression that unless everyone caves to coercion 100% of the time, then it isn't coercion, which is obviously a fallacy. Just because someone doesn't pay when they are blackmailed doesn't mean they weren't blackmailed.

Both political parties threatened to rewrite section 230 on multiple occasions. This would effectively bankrupt most social media companies. The fact that you are unable or unwilling see this as coercion is your blind spot, not everyone else's.

> I assume that their test input (which isn't described in the post, and is also not in their GitHub repo) consists of random strings consisting almost entirely of s and p characters.

test code is here: https://github.com/414owen/blog-code/blob/master/02-the-same... it randomly selects between 's' or 'p'. The characters can't be anything other than 's', 'p', or the terminating null. Knowing that particular fact about our input gives us this ...clever... optimization:

int run_switches(const char* s) {
int result = 0;
while (*s)
result += (1 | *s++) - 'r';
return result;
}

which compiles to:

run_switches:
movzx eax, BYTE PTR [rdi]
xor edx, edx
test al, al
je .L1
.L3:
or eax, 1
inc rdi
movsx eax, al
lea edx, [rdx-114+rax]
movzx eax, BYTE PTR [rdi]
test al, al
jne .L3
.L1:
mov eax, edx
ret

This is too clever by half, of course, but it perfectly illustrates your point about exploiting properties of the data.
I could also have people at my desk looking at my screen as we go over some code or a project plan. Messaging services are for urgent matters which usually have some privileged info. If it’s just a non urgent question or request, send an email so you don’t interrupt people. Biggest issue with messaging services is that they easily abused for things that can done via asynchronous communication. They become big distractions.

Before I begin, I believe that everyone has the right to believe and (if they choose to do so) worship and pray as they want.

The reason why I wrote the above language, quite explicitly, is because religions, in the long-term, do not agree with such co-existence. Eventually, there's a reversion to the mean, or a splintering that spreads fundamentalism and decries other groups.

> I would say we live in the most widespread Uneasy Peace in human history. And unlike religious peace which had occasional conflicts, a break in the peace now would mean annihilation. Is general peace, risk of annihilation better than occasional petty wars without annihilation?

When was this religious peace? Here's a graph of human history, could you kindly tell me when you think this religious peace lies in this graph? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EGL9VKKXkAAVhwB.jpg

As far as I can tell, this peace we experience is truly un-precedented in the original sense of the word, i.e. there is no prior precedent.

> Well, considering that they murdered priests and pastors in their camps, were they really friendly to religion? Particularly Catholic Priests, who represented 94% of the clergy they executed.

They believed that they were the true chosen people of god and everyone else was less. Their persecution of jewish people was (partly, not completely) driven by the belief that they were the ones who killed god.

Expanding on this, with the following statement,

> Let's not confuse Protestant fundamentalism motivated by political ends with religion in general.

That's the problem. Whose book and under what interpretation and rules?

You can't just say, "these events wouldn't occur under my doctrine. My religion is the only religion and the others aren't."

When you create rules by fiat, "X is Y because I/holy book/prophet said so." Then is it surprising that others will make rules by fiat as well? What makes their rules more valid than yours? You believe that you have god's mandate. Well, so do they. They're both equally absurd claims with equal validity to an outside observer.

The point of the enlightenment is to look towards something more concrete; ideals that have been honed via debate and examination of history. Ideals that are subject to change as we learn more. Ideals that are more real, because they become real in their execution.

You may say, well, that's religion as well, but I am not aware of any religion where things are subject to true debate (can you even question the existence of the deity?), or religious groups that are open to changes in their fundamental philosophies.

PS1 was easier to pirate games than n64
Totally! Too often console makers went with wacky things that developers didn't know how to get performance out of. Though that sanity was short-lived for Sony. The PlayStation 2 was a complex design that was a pain for developers.

As much of a success as the PS2 was, it probably left the door open for Microsoft. The Xbox had a normal x86 processor and normal Nvidia GPU (and the GameCube had a normal PowerPC/ATI GPU combo). The PS2 was a huge success, but I think a lot of it was built off the momentum of the PS1, the fact that it was backward compatible, and its DVD player. If the PS2 had been Sony's first console, they probably would have lost. Developers would have considered it a pain to develop for and Microsoft would have had a more powerful Xbox with an easier development platform.

I think the PS2 does show that developers will accommodate (if hate) wacky-ass designs if there's momentum. However, Sega had killed their momentum with the Sega CD and 32X with both developers and gamers so the Saturn's wacky design was the final nail in the coffin. Atari had been out of the console game for nearly a decade when they launched the Jaguar so they also did't have the momentum.

The PS2 was a bit pushed by momentum. Developers knew that gamers would buy it because Sony's brand in gaming was amazing at the time and it offered a DVD player so they put up with it.
I just wish more companies communicated using iCalendar. In work calendar events are ubiquitous but I have found it really valuable to use them to organise my personal life as well. The problem is that it can be quite tedious to enter everything by hand. I wish cinemas, theatres, restaurants, hotels, airlines, train companies, etc etc, all sent you calendar appointments when you booked with them online. In my experience only a minority do and even the ones that do often don't do it right (eg, British Airways gets the timezone wrong).

I also sometimes wonder if we couldn't create a better calendar event format using JSON or something, but iCalendar is powerful enough for 99% of use cases - I just wish it was used more.
You forgot about Friendster (2002), it came before MySpace (2003), had great momentum, failed to scale (slow as hell), turned down $30M from Google, and then fizzled out. It had most of the features of Facebook, but a number of years before Facebook was available to the general public.

Twitter is a bunch of journalists snarking about the news. Seems like threads is a bunch of Instagram celebrities using a 2nd medium for brand management. It seems like people are only there in case it takes off and that’s not going to be interesting conversation.
Because the initial "hi" forces a context switch which the recipient (after reading and replying) has to either: Sit idle while the sender writes their actual question, or try to context switch back for a tiny amount of time.

10:30:01 [Coworker] hi

10:30:12 [Me] hi

10:30:35 [Coworker] do you have time for a call?

10:30:39 [Me] sure

Versus:

10:30:01 [Coworker] hi, do you have time for a call?

10:30:16 [Me] sure

This example isn't really that bad, but it is showing basically the best case with a simple question. It gets a lot worse if the sender actually has to type out a long message, or if there's a gap between each response because the other person was busy at the time.

I think modern porn (which is very different from traditional) flew under the radar for too long. It’s sort of a recreational drug and should be regulated so users could still use it freely, but it wouldn’t tease them at every corner.

I’m a user myself, but when I see it or its sales on a “generic” platform that’s just annoying and doesn’t belong there. What sex workers seem to want is being presented in-your-face at all crowded places. And when allowed they do it aggressively due to bloody competition and strong personal interest.
Very interesting approach. I should probably have specified that the somewhat naive assembly in `02-the-same-speed-as-c/loop-5.x64.s` is the fastest version I have.

On my machine I'm getting 0.244s for `loop-5.x64.s` and 0.422s for your implementation above.

I'm not sure why exactly we're seeing this discrepancy, and for what it's worth your implementation looks faster to me. I guess this is why you need to always benchmark on the hardware you're going to be running the code on...
>If you asked someone before 2000, do you think their answer would be different

No, I don't. I do not think reasonable people ever had an expectation of privacy while in public, especially when they are interacting with other people/strangers.

>Would setting/context change that? i.e. a person talking to their friend on the street vs giving a speech at a protest/demonstration?

Setting and context could change the expectation of privacy, sure - if you're in a private place, it's different from being in public.

>I think before you call reference to Ben Franklin, you have to also consider the differences in settings between today and then. A lot has changed and the discourse around the subject is not properly taking this into account, and often not even acknowledging the existence of change in the first place.

Are you saying people have more of an expectation of privacy now? I thought your whole argument went the other way.
While the original article doesn't mention it, I think there are two issues here, one of which you allude to.

1. Someone in a position of authority making context-less contact: "hi", "helllp!"... this is going to cause anxiety and fear in nearly anyone and leadership should avoid doing this at all costs.

2. Regular people communicating in a "normal" way by starting a conversation off with "hi". Maybe they're not so online as to be honed with IM etiquette, maybe they just like to say hi. Regardless, their intent is not malicious and a healthy and collaborative culture should be able to handle their natural (and quite popular) social communication style.

I wonder if there's some element of face-saving here to avoid a lawsuit that may come from someone that uses the model to perform negative actions.

Could you perhaps change something in .git to fail in case of conflict?

What do you mean by using git lfs but not wanting files in git? Generally you should be able to use git lfs with any note app that supports git as long as you are able to enable lfs on whatever server you are using and are able to edit .gitattributes. It's just git with a bit of logic to only download the needed revisions of binary files instead of the whole history. But as far as I can reason, there's no practical difference if you're not often editing the binary files which you add because there's usually only one copy/no patches for the binary files.
That’s not really what I was getting at (although it is generally true, and it is the original meaning of the phrase “the customer is always right”). My point was that advertising steers people’s opinions all the time. Better advertising would have ensured that the kids wanted the games that Sega would actually have.

Although I will also say that they must have known that a lot of kids would already want another Sonic game, so not having one at launch was a mistake. No need to steer people’s opinions if they are already in a convenient place.
We don’t actually know that it’s not legal. The copyrightability of model weights is an open legal question right now afaik.
On the installer image is a directory casper, there is another image filesystem.squashfs, I suspect that it is simply unpacked to the hard disk during installation. System deployment is really fast this way. Also in casper directory are two more interesting files: filesystem.manifest-minimal-remove and filesystem.manifest-remove with a bunch of packages names. And of course you should have a look at the log during the installation process, all the "apt purge" things show up there.
