Right, but I think the OP's question is why are you using RHEL compat instead of just getting licensed RHEL. In your example a company is already fine with paying full price for major engineering applications why wouldn't you do the same for your underlying OS.
Because without these repeated fig leaves, trans-Atlantic data transfers will be totally prohibited.

This carries the risk of losing the entire EU market, and further, the rise of actual competitors in the EU.

Can't have that. Gotta keep the EU dependent on US tech. Better make sure America retains tech dominance over Europe, and can keep raiding their tech talent with the lure of high compensation and global impact unavailable in the EU.

In all seriousness, the trans-Atlantic tech trade seems like a vaguely mercantilist colonialist system: Raw materials (skilled labor) flow in, finished goods (tech services) flow out.
You seem to be describing a way to lie to yourself about the taste.
We've got lots of datasets at this point in history - it ends up being pretty reasonable to formulate a hypothesis, propose a change to the ML system, then see how it does on a host of datasets. Most papers focus on one or two datasets, getting some initial improvement going from train-to-test, but the successful ideas end up transferring to a wide range of contexts. The extension to other dataseets + contexts constitutes the prediction of performance on other systems.

And sometimes (often?) techniques do fail to transfer! IME, it's only the simplest ideas which do transfer to new contexts well - there's a lot of dark heat in pushing Imagenet another hundredth of a point, which you realize when you try to take incremental 'new SOTA' papers and apply them to audio problems.

But the things which /do/ transfer constitute real advances. And that's (drumroll) science! Sometimes things look good initially and get falsified. Medicine is still science, even if drugs get disqualified in phase iii trials...

If you have a roof you can top up water tanks, water filtration systems clean the water and can recycle the water. Reverse Osmosis filtration which deionises the water is about as pure as you can get, so pure nothing can grow in it, which is why colony forming units (CFU's) aka TVC's are so low, lower than spring water.

This article explains why Thames Water is in the news. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/shortcuts/poll/2013/...
"after 2025, Thames Water believes more drastic measures will be needed"

Not long to go.... standby for some more "engineered" news.

>The Economist has a political bent,

Whilst its easy to say, privatise problems, Thames water has its own unique problems, but when looking at something like the coal miners, what did it do? It shifted people away from using coal to other less large airborne particulate laden forms of fossil fuel, the latest being air source heat pumps 1w in 4watts out at best, solar power 15-22% efficiency, and nuclear with the debate over the use of different nuclear fuels, like plutonium and thorium. Sort by Specific Energy (MJ/Kg) at this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#In_nuclear_reac...

Anyway some things are engineered including things in the news like Thames Water.... Someone's getting a shake down!
I agree. I think I like this. Enough to try it out. I've seen hundreds of to-do apps, local, cloud, and hosted. This one having the timeline visible on the front page is appealing. Too many apps try to obfuscate and obscure the details. For memos and notes, I feel like review is an important aspect. Having visibility of _when_ you wrote something can be just as important as what you wrote. It's kept simply here, but still functional.

This app does seem to be aiming for a collaborative experience. With that it would be nice to see some sort of comment or thread for posts. I.E. Create a to-do post that others can respond to without directly editing. That way memos aren't kept here while discussion is in Slack or Teams.
That's really nothing like python strings, which for the same string would be

formatted_str = f"My name is {name} and my favorite number is {num}"

The function call I could forgive, but the the ability to embed arbitrary python expressions into the f-string directly is a huge readability win IMO.
>arithmetic but in a different base is one of the counterfactual examples in the paper.

I know, that's why I referenced the proximity of bases seemingly being important to the LLM. I think this is what differentiates it.

>and yes it can answer them with worse performance.

It's accuracy is dependent on proximity to it's training set (going back to my original point). I think that points to a different mechanism than humans and that's what my last post was focusing on.

I think we agree that humans would do less well in most other bases than base-10. But that side-steps the point I was making. Will humans do worse in base-3 than base-9? I doubt it, but according the the article, it's reasonable to assume the LLM would be progressively worse. That, IMO, is an indicator that something different is going on. I.e., humans are deriving principles to work from rather than just pattern recognition. Those principles can be modified on-the-fly to adjust to novel circumstances without needing additional training data. Humans are using reasoning in addition to pattern recognition.

This is probably a clunky example, but I'll try. Suppose an autonomous vehicle is trained to recognize that when a ball rolls into the street, it needs to slow down or stop because a child may not be far behind. A human can infer that seeing a kite blow into the street may signal the same response, even though they've never witnessed a kite blow into the street. The question is: can the autonomous vehicle infer the same? (This shouldn't be conflated with the general case of "see object obstructing the street and slow down/stop." The case I'm drawing here specifically adjusts the risk by the nature of the object being a child's toy. So, can the AV not only recognize the object as a kite but also adjust the risk accordingly?) I think one of the possible pitfalls is that we solve a more simple problem like image/pattern recognition and conflate it to a more difficult problem set being solved.

Circling back to the original point, one guess is that it's not understanding context as much as merely matching patterns really, really well. That can be incredibly useful but it may be something different than what's going on in our heads and maybe would should be careful not to conflate the two. Or, it's possible that all we're doing is also matching patterns in context, and eventually LLM will get there too.
I am not permitted to use it at work.

I have tested it with Go and Python and it makes mistakes.

But here is where I find it useful. When I am not sure if a particular Python module exists, I ask it for that. Most of the time it can point me to one or more modules in pypi.
> Funny, a stream of data at a constant rate makes much more sense to me intuitively than packets, specifically for uncompressed video.

Sure, until you start trying to design the transceivers and realize that supporting two or three fixed standard data rates is a lot simpler than supporting a continuously-variable clock speed. Every other high-speed digital interface operates at just a few discrete speeds: SATA/SAS, PCIe, Ethernet, USB.

The fact that DVI and HDMI were such a shallow digitization of VGA's racing-the-beam meant features like variable refresh rate (Gsync/Freesync) showed up far later than they should have. If we hadn't wasted a decade using CRT timings (and slight modifications thereof) to drive LCDs over digital links, it would have been more obvious that the link between GPU and display should be negotiated to the fastest data rate supported by both endpoints rather than the lowest data rate sufficient to deliver the pixels.
Are you willing to admit that training a model on the book is not the same thing as copying that book?

This type of interaction is not helpful. It's an argumentative strawman argument. Who said training a model is the same thing as copying a book? Of course it isn't. But who said it had to be?

Here's an idea... read the first five books in the series "A Song of Ice and Fire". Then sit down and write your own version of Book 6 to continue the story and sell it without a license. Guess what's going to happen? You will be sued into bankruptcy.

What OpenAI is doing is lot more similar to that than literally copying things. And it's still wrong and illegal.

It has been distorted beyond recognition by a few companies, who have state everything on a broad and permanent copyright

I agree with you, what Disney and others have done with copyright extensions is immoral and should be illegal. But it's not illegal.

pretending that training a model on some thing equals copying it isn’t based in reality

No, it isn't based in reality. Which is why nobody made the claim. They're packaging up a derivative work and selling it. Don't have to look hard to see examples that this is just as infringing as outright copying.
Because sometimes you don’t want to write your own training loops, you just want a working method to train a model.
Or, you know, don't do any of those silly dances and just let the windows stay where they are the whole time between turning the displays off and on?

Reminds me of that problem with video driver update on Windows when the screen is momentarily resized down to 1024x768 resolution and then instantly goes back to 2560x1440: all the non-maxed windows get shrunk down and shifted to the upper-left corner (so they would be visible on a 1024x768 screen) and then they just stay like this. It's totally useless and actually quite annoying.
If the software is fast, you ask for the butter and he puts it right in front of you. I say fast interactions and response is always better than slowness or fake loading screens.
This is a fun one, all told. The Mac way of leaving the cursor at the top of a document is infuriating to me. Why would I want the cursor to be off of the visible screen?

Point being that I suspect this is very much a learned behavior and you can grow to like either way. Not that one is superior to the other.

To be fair, HTML treating all whitespace as insignificant was absolutely the right call
Yes, but this unfairly penalizes people simply using different accounts NOT intending to evade any ban (I'm talking very established accounts that are years old... My oldest Reddit login dates to the first few months of Reddit's existence! And it's now also banned.) but simply to maintain anonymity.

Kill me for having a "porn" Reddit account and a "professional" Reddit account, I guess, plus one to disclose health issues I'd prefer to keep private... And deserve to. I actually enjoy anonymously helping people get through issues that for very good reasons they are also posting anonymously about (think: victims). This mentality ruins that, and I am now prevented from doing that.

Just out of curiosity, what would you expect the value-add to be in this? From my perspective, if you're using emacs, it's value comes from being the 'top layer' that ties together all the functions and coordinates between the things you need.

It's funny, in high school due to social perceptions I didn't align myself with the "shop kids", and took exclusively computer-based electives.

It's led me to a lucrative career in programming, but now all my hobbiest time is actually spent learning the same hands-on skills I would have gotten in shop class, I love doing automotive repairs, I even learned how to fix my own AC system, and want to learn to weld.

Electrical is the tricky one because it's the one with the most consequences for mistakes. I wish there was a "electrician lite" night school or something.
Failing safely in a squat rack means you know how to bail from the weight in a way to not further injure yourself. Thats not immediately obvious, like learning to fall in other sports.

Not everyone sees an olympic lifting coach before trying olympic lifts at the gym, probably a very small percentage actually do.

I'll see your profligate 16MB of RAM for an HP system we had running HP/UX with a full gui desktop, and also running as a DNS and NNTP server. It had 4MB of RAM.

> Mouse clicks and distance are two of the most basic metrics. And straight forward. So why wouldn't you optimize there?

You might, but to do so based solely on those metrics is a mistake. That's because those metrics don't fully capture what makes a UI efficient for human use. Other things, like cognitive load, are more important.

Does it matter if it only takes two clicks to do a thing if that usage path isn't one that meshes with the way I think? I think not, because it means that I'll spend additional time thinking about how to accomplish the task rather than just accomplishing it.

> and even worse, prioritizing "fancy" animations as if that's a good thing and as if that's your main job.

I 100% agree with you there! Animations are commonly misused and dramatically overused, and I think that more UIs would be improved by omitting them.

> The goal of UI is to optimize efficiency across most use cases (and hence users) as measurably possible.

If we're talking about "efficiency" in terms of "minimizing the use of the mouse", then I disagree. If we're talking about "efficiency" in terms of what helps a person to accomplish a task in the best way possible, then I agree -- but focusing mostly on those metrics excludes so much other important stuff as to give a distorted picture of the situation.

> So you can do a TLS/postgres connection instead of adding additional layers.

Sure, sometimes you can. But a key use-case for a serverless database is connecting from a serverless compute environment, and not all serverless compute environments support TCP connections.

Sure, but "if the instance of your monolith is not responding" probably means the app is down. That's only going to be true for a small subset of the microservices.
People have investigated better solutions than iostreams for decades. But creating a near perfect interface is difficult in C++ because you have almost infinite control over the compile time and runtime characteristics of it. It has to compile fast, it has to be extensible (even the formatting syntax is interchangeable and programmable here), it has to give formatting errors at compile time, and it has to run nearly optimally. Victor Zverovich cracked the code, but only after Meta, Boost, and many others put tons of work into their own attempts. Imo, std::format is the most complex part of the standard library so far in terms of its implementation.

Iostream predates parameter packs, which is why they use << for a variadic API.
It's much less than I expected.

Yeah that's why most startups fail. Rarely do startups exist for over 40 years with no physical proof of the idea working and just a simulation of it that fundamentally undermines its reality and even more rarely are there people who don't work at those startups who defend them as if compelled by some strange force.

What if Rust gets a Copilot to make working with borrow checker trivial?

Hmm, another idea: what if a language's compiler itself use an LLM to find invariants and issues (like race conditions) in the code?
It exists in 23: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/header/print
iostreams required only early C++ features and in return gave you:

1. Type safe string formatting. You'd get a compile error if the value you tried to write didn't support it.

2. User-defined formatting support for user defined types. You could make instances of your own class support being written directly to a stream. Sort of like how some other languages let you override `toString()`.

3. No runtime dispatch for #2. Unlike Java, C#, etc. the user-defined formatting code for your type is called statically with no overhead of virtual dispatch.

Using operator overloading to achieve all of those was really clever and led to a very powerful, efficient, and flexible system. It's also just unfortunately pretty verbose and kind of weird.

It's the same in ML. Good predictions do come from real ideas about how the systems work - ideas in information theory, entropy, cognitive science, statistical mechanics and so on - formulated in a context of our existing understanding and prior results. That's science.

Any links to said "troubling rumors about Arc Gen 2"?
This is a great decision for the US game industry. Sony has a ton of exclusives, many from acquisitions, and strengthening XBOX will help maintain a competitive gaming market which should lead to even better exclusives in the long run. Some of the best rivalries in the history of gaming came from different sides with hard hitting exclusives (SNES vs Genesis for instance).

While Microsoft has promised to keep Call of Duty on the Playstation, I think it would be totally ok if they stopped doing that in the future, as any other Activision-Blizzard game; after all, Uncharted and Last of Us aren't available on the XBOX either.
