I think you’re way off here. The basic consistency of parsing between browsers is absolutely the result of the HTML 5 standard. Polyfills and transpilation are rarely necessary in modern web dev.

(Transpilation can improve your dev experience, but you can easily get by in a pinch with the JS features that modern browsers support natively.)
Legal writing is ideal training data: mostly formulaic, based on conventions and rules, well-formed and highly vetted, with much of the best in the public domain.

Medical writing is the opposite, with unstated premises, semi-random associations, and rarely a meaningful sentence.
> I remember reading that people who swear a lot are statistically smarter.

I'd need more evidence of that. My anecdotal experience is that saying "fuck" a lot is indicative of a lack of imagination. For example, Winston Churchill's legendary devastating insults, with no profanity necessary.
> Twitter rate limited me (no blue check) could someone screenshot this?

Just open it in a private window. Twitter is no longer blocking logged-out views (at least for now).
I second the idea of revisiting the calendar. I add events in the calendar of what I’ve been doing every time I context switch. It makes it purposefully annoying to context switch often, and I revisit what I did that week at the end of it. Additionally, I’m able to answer questions such as “What percentage of time do I spend on research vs writing vs coding etc.
Threads is intended to be massive scale.

I’d use the analogy of a Japanese bullet train as the compiled language and a diesel train as Python.

Python is my primary language along with JS but if I was building a new service for Meta I wouldn’t use either at the back end.
what you call red terror was merely a preludium to the much more servere and large scale 'white terror' the royalists and their supporters comitted much more horrifying and large scale terror on a massive scale. The right-wing terror that followed the revolution is somehow never mentioned. I guess people still buy into the scarlet pimpernel bs.

You’re exactly my target user. I want to help as many people get into gamedev as possible.

The most important thing is to get the codebase open in an IDE, and building. From there you can place breakpoints and start looking at things.

One trick is to literally just hit the pause button in the debugger while the game is running and see where you end up by looking at the stack frames. I use that all the time to map out new codebases. Then start changing some code and see what happens.

I’m sorry I haven’t been able to get something comprehensive together yet; my wife and I have been in the hospital for the last month, and we have a month to go. But it’s almost over.

EDIT: there’s a dev stream too. Sorry for the quality and the music, but you might be able to glean some useful tricks. Pay close attention to the chapter titles, since it’s a serialization of my thought process as I hunted down a bug: https://youtu.be/VBj0RcpxCIc?t=132
This is the only thing that ever works for me, but a) you have to be doing repeated projects or high overlap, and b) it's hard to defend when a PM challenges. My response is usually "<shrug> this is how long this kind of thing has taken in the past". I do a lot of the same projects at different customers, so my gut feel is usually pretty close (and I have to give a ballpark quote, so there's some penalty to being over or under). But if it's something completely new, breaking it down in to detail tasks almost never results in a good estimate.
While all of that is true, the real reason is that Threads was actually an instagram feature several years ago that they previously killed off. They were able to bring it back quickly and make some changes to capitalize on twitter's meltdown.
Agree but it is a lot of work to deanonimyze, when they already have people giving up all the data.

At least I try not to be the lowest hanging fruit in deanonimyzation problem
Are graduate students employees in the USA? I know in Europe there are universities where that is the case.
Branches are prone to be faster than conditional moves if they are correctly predicted, because they do not increase the critical path length. And utf-8 decoders are commonly run on all-ascii input. What were you benchmarking on?
> There is no neutral reporting.

I agree. That was my point. But point this truth out to people who work at sacbee and they'll proclaim they are objective beacons of truth.

> Media both creates and reflects people’s attention and anyone pretending it’s only one or the other is showing their own bias.

The media pretends it's only one or the other. That's the point.
>But assuming that local user access means you're already fucked can be pretty damn honest.

Compartmentation through VMs or containers (docker et al) tends to be assumed sufficient.

The world relies on this to work yet Linux, unlike seL4[0], cannot guarantee separation.

I have recently learned that the introductory calculus classes at one of our local community colleges bans the use of calculators - any calculators - entirely during exams, and the syllabus and problem sets are accordingly structured in a way that makes using calculators largely redundant.
Extension to clear the VS Code history cache (containing sensitive files)
VS Code silently stores copies of all files you are editing in the %APPDATA%/Code/User/History folder. Even files you are editing from, say, truecrypt volumes because they contain sensitive data. I don't like that. An administrator can probably access those files. And even if they can't, I still don't like it. I could not find a way to prevent this, so this extension removes the entire History folder when vscode is closed.
Agreed. Bluesky had a tone of hype back in its infancy, and now you never hear about it. They definitely missed their opportunity.
I thought that too. It's certainly how they present it. But, apparently not.
I'll take some downvotes for this opinion:
I hate public transportation.

I hate dealing with crowds of people.

I hate waiting for whatever conveyence I'm going to ride on.

I hate feeling like I need a full bath after riding on said conveyence.

I hate dealing with the inevitable schizos, drug addicts, mental illness, and other malcontents that will undoubtedly pan handle or beg. And no, it isn't my problem to care or deal with them.

Once I got enough money to ride in my own car to and from work, I stopped public transit and never looked back. If I somehow become stupid rich(doubt), I would charter private jets for the same reason.

I see you're from Italy and will concede that European public transit is better when it comes to frequency so there's less waiting but that's about it. Still have the drug addict schizos and cleanliness problems.

I still owned a car when I lived in Europe and if I do it again I'll be owning another, especially now with kids.
Much ado about nothing. Sounds scary though, doesn't it?

From the article:

WILL I BE AFFECTED? Almost certainly not, since all computers and smartphones made recently are 64-bit ... by the year 2038 it is likely that most (if not all) 32-bit devices will no longer be in use ...

Reminds me of "When 2000 comes around, planes will fall out of the sky" Yeah, sure. That happened too. NOT. Because the problem was fixed before it even started.
You are right, what's a little surveillance between friends. It's not like they're acting like the Chinese at all.
Ahhh thanks for the correction! And iirc GPT-4 has a 20k version too.

Huh? I'm not aware that it's possible to open source something without, you know, making it OSS. Am I mistaken, or are we talking about two different meanings for "open source"?
UK gov pays 45B a year interest on money it loaned to banks for bailouts
I get what you're saying, but in a large pile, finding the right piece is easily 10x harder now because the number of unique LEGO parts is much, much higher than when you and I were kids.
You can also use math to avoid most of the jumps:

int run_switches(char *input) {
int res = 0;
while (true) {
char c = *input++;
if (c == '\0') return res;
// Here's the trick:
res += (c == 's') - (c == 'p');
}
}

This gives a 3.7x speed compared to loop-1.c. The lower line count is also nice.
quick, somebody fork Ubuntu before they remove it!
It’s not like it’s a dark pattern, hidden under multiple layers of disinformation and redirection. Apps have always been siloed on iOS and it has even got better as some apps can break out of the container model (PDF Viewer is a prime example). I bought an iPhone and an iPad knowing that. If it ever bugs me, I switch to Android (which, BTW, is moving to the container model). Which means Obsidian could have requested permissions for the folder to be placed somewhere else (Textastic can access random folders on the filesystem).

Even though my phone and my tablet is capable of being a general purpose device, it was not the reason I bought them. They have a specific purpose and they are filling it well. I wouldn’t buy a microwave and complain I can’t make cakes with it.

> Software engineers have a different relationship to salary than most people and it shapes expectations

It also shapes expectations over what we think we will be expected to pay for personally, and what those costs are likely to escalate to be by the time we must pay for them.

Give me $80k/yr and my quality of life locked in on that (healthcare/retirement included of course!) and I'd sign the paperwork tomorrow.

The issue is that there is no way the costs are going to be reasonable enough if I get "unlucky" to say that is anywhere near enough money. The difference gets put into savings, not spent.

My family who have never seen what things cost (e.g. subsidized medical insurance, etc.) are perfectly content and happy making far less, and state that it's simply lifestyle inflation for others. I think it's more ignorance is bliss, and they always know (and utilize) the fact they have family doing much better than them to call if times get truly tough.

When you're the only backstop you have for yourself, and likely many others counting on you, that $80k sounds like pretty much nothing running a few not-ideal life scenarios.

tldr; $80k certainly gives a very reasonable lifestyle, but as soon as the music stops it turns into pain city really fast. It's less needing more money to have a nice lifestyle, and more middle class economic insecurity.
>Developers wishing to continue using their fine-tuned models beyond January 4, 2024 will need to fine-tune replacements atop the new base GPT-3 models (ada-002, babbage-002, curie-002, davinci-002), or newer models (gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4). Once this feature is available later this year, we will give priority access to GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4 fine-tuning to users who previously fine-tuned older models. We acknowledge that migrating off of models that are fine-tuned on your own data is challenging. We will be providing support to users who previously fine-tuned models to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Wait, they're not letting you use your own fine-tuned models anymore? So anybody who paid for a fine-tuned model is just forced to repay the training tokens to fine-tune on top of the new censored models? Maybe I'm misunderstanding it.
Taking beta-alanine will increase Carnosine synthase activity and probably lead to a depletion of magnesium and/or manganese since they are the co-factors for the enzyme. So this effect will differ based on genetic and nutrition.

I'm not a compiler expert but if it's a "very simple loop" is it still too complex for the compiler to make good machine code? Did they use a bad compiler on purpose? Or are computers just not yet fast enough to do a good job with very simple loops in practical compilers?
Seems like they're probably referring to muzzling Environment Canada
True. The one that is referenced in that "ChatGPT AGI" youtube video, right?

the one from a MS researchers that has been recommended to all of us probably. Good video btw.
By and large, we don't really know what inductive biases we ought to be shoving in to models. Sometimes we think we do, but we're wrong more often than not. So methods with the least inductive biases work better.
Love Joplin! I love it so much, my lazy ass actually donated. I spent quite some time searching for open source alternatives that don’t have an ulterior motive. Currently using nextcloud sync and it works. Sometimes the iOS app and the Linux desktop app are out of sync, but a sync fixes that. Would love to see mTLS implemented at some point!
Still hear about it, but its either “No one is there” from people on it or “I can’t get an invite” from people not.
The Cinder team's longterm goal is to upstream as much as we can, and make the rest available as pip-installable extensions that anyone could theoretically install and use on CPython. The fewer internal changes and patches we need to maintain, the faster we can adopt upstream Python releases and all of the associated performance and tooling wins.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

You're not just 30k up from where you were two years ago

You're also up 78k from where you would be today if you had been renting at 2k/month those two years instead
I know people that bought a PS3 on launch for the same reason. They didn't play any games, but it was a cheap Blu-Ray player.
I might even be willing to get on board with that if a reasonable threshold were in place. Every American with an S&P 500 fund of some sort owns some 3M stock. We’re not throwing the majority of American adults in prison anytime soon.
I think it's really interesting that Sony is not on that list. It is self-declared, but Sony had > 75B€ in revenue in EU in 2022, I would guess has more than 10k business users across it's lines of business, and guessing from the sales of PS4 and PS5 units alone must be close, if not over the monthly active users threshold.

All things considered, Nintendo has a bit of a climb to get to those numbers.
I'm in the minority here I think. I thought Dhalgren was vivid and although some parts were difficult, especially around the bits where the story splits down the middle of pages, the challenge was rewarding. Those bits I ascribed to The Kid's somewhat tenuous mental state. Dhalgren is the only Delany work I can specifically recall scenes from some twenty+ years after reading it.
I tried one, maybe 20 years ago. I barely remembered it existed. I know I gave it a decent go, at least 100 pages, but it didn't stick. But I've had 20 more years to consume formulaic books, and then more that did quite a bit to subvert those overlapping genres in interest ways. Maybe I'll appreciate what might have been subtleties more nuanced than I had an eye for the first time around, and come at it with a more experienced set of eyes a second time. I'll go dig up something online to go through the beginning, and see if Dhalgren's found me now and buy a copy.

That interface isn't designed for them. Not everything has to be for everyone.

The attitude that an interface has to work for novices as well as experts is one of the reasons that interfaces keep getting worse.

They told Milgram himself and he hid the interviews. From the second link above,

The new research builds upon findings from a previous study, which analyzed recordings of 91 conversations conducted immediately after the termination of the experiments. The recordings showed that most of the obedient subjects justified continuing the experiment because they believed the learner was not really being harmed.
Having a full-blown predicate support is so nice to have, but it interferes with compact instruction encoding.

Such bloated ISA like x86 might actually handle predicate support, but who will try such a radical change?

Twitter Panics over Threads’ Ascent, Threatens to Sue
You can put it as a variant of the Pascal wager. If it is right, mankind may go through hellish conditions for decades and centuries, till extinction. If it is wrong we will have tl go through something like the lockdowns because the Covid pandemic.

Of course, that if you know nothing and believe in no one, so you don't have a clue of what future may come. We advanced a bit since astrology and reading tea leaves, we have better tools to make predictions, and they work well enough to base our current civilization on that, and, don't know, be afraid because taking a plane, entering a skyscraper, or taking a medicine. And those tools are the ones saying which alternative is the right one there.
the discussion is not about that idea of yours, and "the government" is not a monolithic entity

the discussion was around whether Facebook felt there was an implied threat there credible enough to act on it out of fear

obviously, they didn't, and wouldn't, because such a threat would have required that Biden control the GOP Congress somehow, which he didn't
(For clarity: I'm talking about off-street bike paths here)

The problematic ebikes are already breaking the law by driving on bike paths where motorized vehicles are prohibited. All they'd really have to do to both be legal and to avoid endangering and angering other users of the path is to not use the motor while on them.

Since they don't, I don't think they'd care anything about speed limits, either.
