Forty years ago we could have accomplished something.

Now I just want everyone to know that climate deniers are liars and bad people. It won't save us from the disasters, but climate denialism also comes with a cluster of other horrific anti social behavior. The political party that makes climate denialism its official platform should not be voted for under any circumstances. That will not stave off disaster long term but it might let us have some cogent national discussion for once while we wait.
That's because it doesn't bear on the Fermi paradox at all. The Fermi paradox is about how information from/about aliens could have reached us in the past, whereas GP's comment is about how information from/about us could reach aliens in the future. Very different questions. Put another way, the mere fact that we can see the 94% of future-unreachable galaxies means they're a problem for Fermi, regardless of whether we can signal to them.
> And as an engineer you should know that the best products never come from a committee or standardization.

That's literally my argument, lol

> Do you really want to cite Electron apps as an example of how great interoperability is?

Never said it was good, only that it's an example of the market driven need for platform interoperability of software.

My point was actually that Electron is bad and the fact that platform providers don't play well together is the reason why we, as consumers, must suffer Electron apps.

> Or alternatively, people can use their own free will and choose a more “open” alternative.

The idea is to stimulate competition, open or otherwise, to give consumers more choice and make startups/disruptors more likely to succeed. For instance, try install Uber on a PinePhone.

For example - it shouldn't require a multi-billion dollar company investing at a loss, risking lawsuits, to disrupt the gaming market away from Windows (Steam Deck).

This is to not disturb animals who depend on water access at night as well as avoiding contamination of water sources.
Have to admit that I disagree completely. If 'AI' makes employees in coding/finance/law more productive, on a per-person basis - then I expect it to raise wages for the elite practitioners who know how to leverage these tools.

Better tools (AI) tend to reward the most skilled people because the complimentary technology improves their productivity.

I can see entry level positions in things like law, medicine, finance, HR diminishing. But the senior people in these fields are paid for the responsibilities they take on in organizations - so I think their wages will go up as they take on more on a 'per-person' basis.
A poorly managed company is poorly managed even if you’re better paid.

Thanks for the ad hominem, but let's put that into perspective.

My current project is a GUI prototype based on plain Win32/Direct3D/Direct2D/DirectWrite. It currently clocks in at just under 6 KLOC. These are all the format calls in there (used git grep):

fatal_f("Failed to CreateBuffer(): %lx", err);
fatal_f("Failed to Map() buffer");
fatal_f("Failed to compile shader!");
fatal_f("Failed to CreateBuffer(): %lx", err);
fatal_f("Failed to create blend state");
fatal_f("OOM");
fatal_f("Failed to register Window class");
fatal_f("Failed to CreateWindow()");
fatal_f("%s failed: error code %lx", what, hr);
msg_f("Shader compile error messages: %s", errors->GetBufferPointer());
msg_f("Failed to compile shader but there are no error messages. "
msg_f("HELLO: %d times clicked", count);
msg_f("Click %s", item->name.buf);
msg_f("Init text controller %p", this);
msg_f("DELETE");
msg_f("Refcount is now %d", m_refcount);
msg_f("Refcount is now %d", m_refcount);
vfprintf(stderr, fmt, ap);
fprintf(stderr, "\n");
fprintf(stderr, "FATAL ERROR: ");
vfprintf(stderr, fmt, ap);
fprintf(stderr, "\n");
snprintf(utext, sizeof utext, "Hello %d", ui->update_count);
snprintf(filepath, sizeof filepath, "%s%s",
int r = vsnprintf(m_buffer, sizeof m_buffer, fmt, ap);
int r = vsnprintf(text_store, sizeof text_store, fmt, ap);
snprintf(svg_filepath, sizeof svg_filepath, "%s", filepath);

That's theory and practice for you. The real world is a bit more nuanced.

Meanwhile I have 100 other, more significant problems to worry about than printf type safety. For example, how to get rid of the RAII based refcounting that I introduced but it wasn't exactly an improvement to my architecture.

But thanks for the suggestion to use std::format in that set of cases and std::vformat in these other situations. I'll put those on my stack of C++ features to work through when I have time for things like that. (Let's hope that when I get there, those aren't already superseded by something safer).

(Update: uh, std::format returns std::string. Won't use.)
I've been brushing up on my Kubernetes knowledge recently and came across so much gross stuff like this. "If field X is set to Y, then value Z for key V is invalid." Jesus christ. I wish they put more effort into approachability.

It's because of the risk of contaminating the waters (with human waste like urine, food waste, etc.)

Going from A to B is more complicated than it sounds when you're considering reliability 5-10 years into the future, but the reviews don't go into that either. All you can really do is pick a reputable brand.
> The concentrated force for candidates to counteract this would be an industy-wide union. Which isn't happening.

It's one force, not "the" force. As described in the other comment, having enough data about which employers are actually hiring could go a long way.

I was just filling in the context that he left out of the actual wording of the question.

"More confident" than what? You can interpret the question more literally as "more confident than in their coding than they would have been if someone criticized their code". But that implies the alternative we are talking about is working in a team and also having less confidence.

"Is it a good thing?" to me is about outcomes. The outcome depends on the circumstance which again was implied to be either a solo dev or a team.
I think they mean that it is likely to heavily depend upon the task.

Decoder models are good at generation of language, and of course they're going to do well where that counts.
But if you want to do typical NER+Relation extraction and then normalize to an in-house dictionary of 10 million IDs? You can't do that as effectively with GPT-4.
You need a local model (right now).

There are a lot of things that GPT-4 doesn't touch in terms of data domain, so for many projects, yes local (typically encoder) models are 1) way faster 2) way" cheaper and 3) have better metrics.

Of course, the capability could* be there with a large decoder model, but if it's a task that needs your specific (large amount of) data, you have to make something locally.
I took shop class in high school and was a welder for 9 years after I graduated. I think we can absolutely shorten the entry into the trades. I would have loved to work an entry level welding job in the summers once I turned 14. It would have been a whole lot better than all the dangerous shit I did working for farmers. There is so much untapped interest in the trades among teenagers.

A neighbor kid I grew up with, struggled with acting out in school. His home life was massively disfunctional. However, he loved to tinker and play with all things mechanical. I think an apprenticeship in high school would have been life changing for kids like him.

Most airlines are truly awful. It's pushed me towards budget ones for domestic flights (Southwest, Frontier, Spirit, etc) because at least they're upfront with "Yeah, we suck, but we'll charge you half the fare".

Flying internationally, KLM has never done me wrong (I suspect the average Dutch man being 6ft tall helps seat sizing) and I recently had a rather pleasant flight on Turkish Airways.
It uses SQLite database. I like this!
When you are expected to write tests for your code, you will be happier if that code uses functional patterns. Functional code can usually be tested without the complex mocking many developers are used to relying on.

For me, as a UI dev, there are a lot of repetitive tasks. FP allows me to know that the Lego pieces all work as they should.
A friend of mine had problems with his monitor, it would go into standby randomly when running certain games.

I asked him for details about his setup and I was pretty confused when he said the connector at the back of his monitor had screws but I saw the Nvidia control panel reporting HDMI.

Turns out he was using an HDMI to VGA adapter ! (GPU was outputting HDMI and screen consumed VGA).

I just told him to go buy a display port cable (since his GPU and monitor both had it) and he had no problem since.

Does anyone have insight about why the adapter could cause monitor standby in certain games ? It is really a peculiar issue.
And don't go standby after 1s of signal loss.
Historically English-language typography, in contrast to French typography, used a larger space between sentences than between words. Typists imitated this traditional style. The single-space style gained typograhic ground through the twentieth century, becoming the norm in the 1950s.

Preferring a single space between sentences is a reasonable choice. But flagging or "correcting" the two-space style is simply a mistake.
Long overdue. And sadly the carriers have not been held accountable in most lawsuits about this where actual funds were lost.

Most people don't need to choose a Linux distro at all, cause Windows or Mac works fine for them and will never have obscure problems.

The car analogy is that you've got the boring Toyota (Windows), the boring but somewhat nicer Honda (Mac), the slightly more efficient CVT Mitsubishi (typical Linux) that needs some major component (X11 or w/e) replaced in 2 years and fewer people will know how to deal with it, or the same Mitsubishi except with stanced wheels and degen exhaust setup to be cooler (Arch Linux w/ XFCE or w/e).

I flipped through all the OTA channels here in Chicago and my ~10 year old HDTV showed them crisp and clear.

Is this only in Boston and Connecticut? Slowly moving west? I bet the SHTF once it reaches NYC.

EDIT - it looks like NYC and Chicago each have a single ATSC 3 broadcaster, neither of which is worth watching. No wonder I haven’t noticed.
On the other hand I can imagine there being some sort of study that claims that having to "check the warehouse" makes the client now invested in the process and more likely to complete the sale.

I get it, sales and marketing are an essential part of doing business, you will not have a business if you can't sell anything. But it is an inherently evil practice, the whole goal is to coerce somebody into doing something they would not have other wise done. When kept to a moderate amount this is not a problem, the business sells things the customer gets things, everybody is happy. But sometime the marketing department can push thing to a very unhealthy level, psychological manipulation, dark patterns, obsessive tracking, etc.
I believe the reason many people refuse to recognize the evident reality of our interdependence is an implied "all or nothing" simple mindedness that dismisses the required changes as unachievable.

We clearly cant be "best buddies" across all 7bln x 7bln pairs sharing the planet at any given time. Nor is it needed.

The minimum common ground needed for long term sustainable survival is just that. A minimum. But it has not been reached and time is running out. Our numbers and techological progress are outgrowing our social adaptations for containing conflict at the fastest pace ever. Unless we address this imbalance things will not end well.

i dunno, I think denigrating vulnerable citizens as a way to justify irrational reductions to your countries education system as a result of learned propoganda from a political party that values having power over it's citizens would make you infinitely closer to the average north korean sympathizer than I am

i also notice you skipped any prior points to give a vapid reply while also doing the same thing you accuse me of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusation_in_a_mirror), so I'll correct myself from cringe libertarian to cringe lite-republican and highlight that point here as a way to lightly confirm that you don't have anything of substance to contribute besides mindless outrage

Zero shot is defined as being able to output predictions for classes they were not trained on.

Have you ever used a LJ-III? Clearly not. It was probably the finest printer of its type made since the beginning of microcomputers.

You actually missed the point, it was its reliability I was talking about (if you'd ever seen one then my comment would have been self-evident). And I wasn't advising others to use one.

It was built like a tank, nothing breaks and it takes a lot of bashing. I purchased it over 30 years ago and it still works because it was built in the days when engineers ran HP and not fucking accountants.

"Once you get the document processed and into ram, you are then waiting even longer because these printers actually have slow print speed."

This is the clincher fact. Nothing like that happens, it works damn fast—no RAM delay and no waiting to print. (If I want more than 300dpi I just change to another printer.)
*Why* do you burn out though?

What is the fear that makes you put so much energies and stress in work?

One of the best things I did early in my career was to save money. I don't really fear much losing a job, I can live without one for a prolonged period of time.

The only reason I would burn out would be if I had to count on every next paycheck.

> “Occupations in finance, medicine and legal activities which often require many years of education, and whose core functions rely on accumulated experience to reach decisions, may suddenly find themselves at risk of automation from AI,” said the OECD.

It added that highly skilled occupations were most exposed to AI-powered automation, such as workers in the fields of law, culture, science, engineering and business.

———

I’m not saying that businesses’s bottom lines might not benefit from greater “AI” automation, but the OECD’s take is pretty ridiculous. All of the aforementioned experience ideally culminates in an ability to understand nuance and granular, extremely context dependent, situations.

Which is what I’d imagine would be the absolutely hardest thing to justify simply automating away.
The algorithmic anti-culture of scale
What would be the proper level of abstraction according to your view?
Completely agree. When control flow gets messy, materializing it in explicit state variables is in my experience a significant improvement.
It’s not similar other than that attention relates tokens.
Is the non-accelerated model also a quantised version? The EdgeTPU is very efficient, but you can get a significant performance drop unless you take care when converting. Modern CPUs can do classification fast enough that you could do background processing and unless you have really tens of thousands of images, you'd be done in an hour or two
> If Theranos had a little more time they could’ve finished the product and significantly reduced the costs for medical providers, which would almost certainly have meant many lives saved and a boost to the economy.

So firstly - that's pure speculation.

Secondly and more importantly - they didn't just claim they had this technology working, they had actual people using it to inform their medical decisions. Fake it until you make it is never ever going to be ethical if you are operating in the medical diagnostics industry and you are actually having patients use it. What they did had the potential for causing great physical harm and even killing people due to misdiagnosis/clearing people of conditions they may have.

Blood tests aren't a fucking web app.
80% of all medical procedures are elective.

> Intel just slapped a chip in a generic case.

The "NUC" was actually an Intel developed form factor, smaller than Micro ATX. They had to engineer motherboards, power supplies, and cooling for the extremely small footprint. They were available as barebones kits (without a CPU), so literally the exact opposite of what you suggest.

Remember though, the 2nd amendment was pushed by James Madison who represented a slave owning state. During that time, the south had 'well regulated militias' which served as slave patrols, capturing runaway slaves and stamping down slave revolts which were common in that time. The southern states feared a strong federal government because they feared they will lose their slave holding powers, including losing the ability to have these militias controlling the slave population.

You always have to read content in it's historical context. In other words, the kind of 'oppression' the wealthy class feared was the ability to lose their primary business of owning slaves.
Can the drop in traffic be attributed to all the AI bot scrapers they were trying to kick off the platform in the first place?
There are entire nations of people where this religion of "legality" has effectively replaced all previous social norms, culture and decency of the population. The result is that people will do any and every immoral thing imaginable to benefit themselves, as long as it is legal. And the only response is more and more and more laws and regulations.

In these places there is a phenomena of scam businesses preying on customers - and getting law enforcement help to do it. An example is fake invoice companies that just spam out fake invoices and then get the sheriff to help them collect the money, since the recipient is obliged by law to contest any invoice in writing, no matter how fake. Customers are highly suspicious of doing business and making purchases in these places, since they've been screwed over so many times. In aggregate this has a huge economic impact.
