Well, your comment is flagged so I can no longer quote from it.

But from what I remember is that you were accusing people of being dishonest because they said that Twitter could have an alternative but people aren't saying that Sony can just make a CoD alternative.

And I'm saying its not dishonest because A) its different people and B) Microsoft made a claim and these response are directly in response to that claim.
Before jumping in with both feet, please check out the ALTER statement. GOTO on steroids and more.
Fantastic repo. Love it!

Looking back, we can see how Machine Code, with its intricate and challenging nature, paved the way for more accessible options. Assembly language then emerged, providing a higher level of abstraction and reducing the complexities of directly working with machine instructions. And of course, C followed suit, offering even greater simplicity and ease of use compared to Assembly.

Imagine a future where programming languages, as we know them today, become akin to CPU instructions – a foundational and low-level primitive. LLMs will revolutionize the way we interact with code, providing a unified interface where the complexities of various languages are distilled into a common representation. The proliferation of individual programming languages will wane. Knowing Java or C++ will become a rare skill, akin to individuals specializing in low-level optimizations using Assembly language these days.

Edit: as time progresses, even the convenience of LLMs may pose challenges, given our inherent tendency towards laziness, so an additional layer of abstraction will be introduced, bridging the gap between LLMs and spoken languages. BCIs will revolutionize the act of coding itself so that individuals can seamlessly "code" by simply "thinking" about their desired actions.

Motivating topics for students is so important and underrated. It's also super hard I think. For one thing, everyone responds to different motivation. Some people are motivated to learn basic algebra more by the possibility of extending it into applied math so they can get a good job as an engineer. Others don't have any interest in that, but rather would be motivated by the beauty of pure math. And students themselves have no idea what they like.

But yeah, I can think of so many examples of things that I would have been way more into in school if I understood how they mapped onto the adult world. Statistics is probably at the top of that list though.
all those formulas were derived using calculus...
Engineers didn’t do those calculations by hand. They were done by “computers” who were mostly youngish women with slide rules.
I actually think it might. My experience is that the people who pay to get their replies to the top do it either because they have something to sell, or because they agree with Elon's politics. So the result is that every tweet I view have pretty much the same low quality answers on the top. That has made the experience much worse for me, and I personally would quit if there were a good enough alternative.

It also depends on how you define "killed". I dont think twitter will be gone, but there is a chance it will become a lot more similar to truth social or parler.

Do you think Hackernews would do better or worse if they introduced a paid tier that put your comment above others every time?
That looks like a pretty constant upward trend that just juked due to COVID and a lack of more recent data.
Most of the apps I use are in fact free, and do not have ads to pay for them. Someone wanted something to exist, so they made it, and then they gave it away for free to everyone because computers are magical and there's no marginal cost to do that. The ad based Internet dying would leave hobby and academic content, significantly cleaning up the signal:noise ratio on the web, which would be great. As a bonus, you wouldn't need to be Google to index it all if it weren't filled with AI generated SEOd blogspam garbage trying to make money from ads.

Good tip. I think I'm never going to do a take home assignment again.
I think they are positioning their own professionally supported enterprise distro as “the best” while positioning this Red Hat clone as the free-est ( both in the free beer and freedom sense ).

It is a good move. They siphon off customers from the competition to a free option and dramatically raise awareness of their paid service.

If it turns out that they still cannot make headway in North America with SLES, they can create paid support options for Liberty. Just like Red Hat, they will have the credibility of being the distro maintainer.

Given the staffing and infrastructure they already have to maintain for SLES, maintaining a RHEL-a-like may not even be that much work.

Really smart.

Very interesting. I feel like any type of digital storage or transmission format (PCM audio formats like CD Audio, packet switched networks like Internet Protocol, etc.) could also be described thusly, given that a typical human can't readily consume it. We use a tool that parses it using some algorithm, not a tool that avoids/breaks the algorithm. The error correction of a CD or the sequence number of a packet surely rolls way more rapidly than those DASH slices, too. Are those more common formats also considered effective access controls, since humans have severe difficulty interacting with them without the help of a tool?

Granted, I suppose the difference there is that the creators of those formats/protocols did publish the spec, whereas YouTube didn't. Or did they, though? The JavaScript that YouTube serves is the instruction for parsing the DASH response, available publicly, hardly different from publications like IEC 60908 ("Red Book" CD-DA spec) or an RFC 791 (IP spec) -- a different language, is all.

What a mess.
Home hosting protects from institutional threats like governments, TLAs, and LEO. Cloud providers can’t offer that. They’re a huge target and it’s an open secret they are compromised. Apple even tried to pitch that as a feature. And they’re the leaders in privacy!

It’s easy to reason about data locality. I can have a literal social network of just my actual friends and no tech company gets to spy on it.

Cloud backups are still good for disaster recovery if they are fully encrypted.
What a terrible analogy. First of all, the two best shoe companies are selling the SAME shoes to everybody, they aren't denying you service. You just don't like the color that it's being sold in. You willingly choose to wear wooden clogs and then complain that they won't sell you the shoes that they are selling to everybody else. The entitlement not just in this comment but in the entire thread is ridiculous.

Secondly, they are private companies selling non-essential goods. Using their models isn't a right. If they want to lobotomize it and make it as pg13 as possible, that is their right. They aren't doing anything against the law in regards to discrimination. If you want to use their toys, you have to play by their rules. Yes they have the best toys but you don't get to cry about it and force them to change their rules. It's such a simple concept and it's hardly new.
7 years & no burnout is impressive. Seems like you’ve had a good strategy from the foundation (I had some friends who were smarter than me and also avoided some of my mistakes). You definitely get more consistent, higher quality output this way.

I’m just focused on learning from where I’ve gone wrong & improving my self knowledge to ensure I don’t dig myself into that hole again!

Could be apocryphal, but I swear I read something from the writers on the show saying that they would take turns coming up with the most ridiculous computer interaction they could think of.
When I was a teenager, I was sort of obsessed with learning all the keystrokes in Microsoft Office (and later OpenOffice). I got to a point where I rarely ever touched the mouse. Once I got to that point, I started getting increasingly annoyed that so much space was taken by UI elements that I never used.

It has eventually culminated with a rejection of GUIs entirely now; everything I do lives almost entirely in the command line with tmux and Neovim. I am reasonably happy with pandoc markdown for about ~85% of document tasks, XeLaTeX for the remainder. I use LSP for something approximating an IDE.

It’s not for everyone, but I really like how little superfluous crap is in my window now.
Although LangChain might not be great as a library/framework, it still could be a great starting point to learn about programming pattern for prompt/actor programming.

It’s funny that you mention Sony considering almost all of their first titles are from studios they’ve bought over the last 15 years. I guess it’s fine when Sony did it in the past to get ahead of the competition but now when Microsoft is doing it, it’s anticompetitive.

The fact is the only way Microsoft becomes competitive again is for the industry to switch to streaming
games. Thats why they’re buying all these studios. If Microsoft isn’t successful in the switch to streaming games, they are out of the gaming business cause they’ve lost the console wars and there’s no recovering at this point unless Sony significantly fucks up.
As an undergrad I tutored folks in a sort of “calculus for non-STEM students” class that focused more on practical stuff and applications… and TBH I think trying to shield them from the complexity didn’t really do them any favors. I often found that they had some practical algorithm memorized step-by-step and some graphical or conceptual intuition, but when the steps and intuition betrayed them we’d end up spending a while backtracking to find where they lost track of the concrete rules, and then we could work our way forward to catch up to their intuition. Practical results are good guideposts but don’t replace full understanding I think.

That’s just my perspective, though, I have a pretty simplistic, algebraic way of looking at math. I could never be a mathematician or see true beauty in math, it is just a bunch of little rules to me.

IMO calculus class is fundamentally just relatively abstract compared to the stuff before it. But once you’ve finished it, your engineering and science classes should be full of practical, reinforcing applications, right?
As long as ‘bad’ students have a voucher, you could ensure that public schools take them.
I've found that some disciplines need calculus, others don't. I've found deeply understanding logic and binary/hex MUCH more important than calculus in my career.
https://www.ioverlander.com/
> You know they will never use it in adulthood, outside of certain career choices.

Just going to register my dislike of this particular trope. Mostly because "certain career choices" is doing a huge amount of work. "Certain career choices" can give you access to a very high income. They can give you access to a deeper understanding of some pretty interesting stuff and put you in a position to accomplish all sorts of amazing things.

People use calculus in the sciences, of course, but also in business, the arts, music, politics, and beyond.

We learn calculus when we're young as a part of expanding ourselves, casting the widest possible net to find that intersection of what we're good and and what we're excited by. And to fill our quiver with as many arrows as possible for when we hit the adult world. And, of course, to build our self-esteem by showing ourselves we can accomplish hard things.

But I would highly recommend against taking the attitude that "you'll probably never use it." That's counter-productive. And the people who "don't use things" are boring...
Is there anything known about LSD production today? Since it is still widely available easily and cheaply.
> And if Apple “fails” with “trendsetting professionals” which is only a tiny market and the Mac itself is only 10% of Apple’s revenue, does it matter?

Only in that Apple would need a platform to develop for iOS. But at that future Mac failure point that dev platform would just be iPadOS or something. I would be disappointed if Macs went away, Windows is garbage and no Linux desktop experience is as good (for me) as the Mac's but Apple wouldn't really notice in terms of revenue.

However I don't think there's any foreseeable reason for the Mac to go away. Most of the Apple's development effort is shared between macOS and iOS with even more iOS things being ported to the Mac side. Even hardware development is shared between the platforms and will be shared with the Vision platform. Even with 10% of the company's revenues the Mac is nowhere near 10% of Apple's OpEx so it definitely makes more money than it costs to develop and maintain.
I feel pretty unfamiliar with my face even though I have tons of photos of it and see it in the mirror a lot. I just don't process it the way I do a face I need to recognize or read emotions on. Of the faces I'm familiar with, I'd say it's the one I'm least familiar with.
Without a mutex, you can’t even write code equivalent to that in the article because you cant mutably share as you pointed out. With a mutex you could – and the mutex would prevent data races (but not race conditions in general) – but indeed mutexes are a red herring here (at least in the specific sense of a runtime synchronization primitive).

In Java you can’t synchronize defensively because synchronization requires that everybody who has access to the shared resource cooperates with you. And even if you could, you wouldn’t want to, not in this sort of a case.

In Rust mutexes own the data they protect, and make it impossible for anyone to access the data without locking the mutex first, but again, an API like this would clearly not bother with dealing with mutexes but rather take a normal compile-time-checked borrow.

The only countries where American law is irrelevant are Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.

Go anywhere else, and on closer examination you'll find that American law is in fact very relevant, with local governments often bending over backwards to accommodate US legal provisions. Copyright, financial regulation, and international travel are some of the areas where this is usually apparent, but far from the only ones.
I agree, except for the move away from empiricism part, empiricism can be quite quite useful.
One issue is uptime. Sometimes the power goes off and you need a ups. If you have LUKS enabled, you need to be physically near the server to restart it.

If you use VMs, you have to update and maintain the hypervisor. You update it and it may break. You need to take care of networking, firewalls, snapshoting, etc. If you use AWS, there is a lot of external services available, eg, add block storage as needed, create a S3 bucket and connect it, etc. Static IP address is another good thing.

My guess is you'll be running GPT4 equivalent in your closet, but with a 4K context window.

Context size is as much of a big deal as newer generations of models imo.
I expect they have three objectives:

- damage and embarrass Red Hat, their direct competitor
- enhance their own brand, brand awareness, and reputation with customers of their competitor. Sell more of their own existing enterprise offerings as a result.
- create an alternative distribution that they can monetize if it turns out to be more popular than their own offerings ( even if only in one geography )
Part of what you're paying for with the AWS instance is "easy", documented integration with the rest of the AWS ecosystem, including things like access control and monitoring.

If you already know how to run the desired workloads on the laptops, then most of what remains is a way to make it accessible to the rest of your infrastructure. Cloudflared, nebula, or wireguard tunnels are a few options.

I use nebula (https://github.com/slackhq/nebula) to network all the machines of my homelab, regardless of how they're connected to the internet, including my laptops. I do think there's space for more lightweight and batteries-included options to take advantage of connected resources in this model.
I'm mostly looking into writing technical books (e.g. about AI, coding, etc.)

The big differentiator is how micro do you go. My rule of thumb is split by scaling requirements (and hardware requirements if you have them). For example splitting off your general business API from your TURN servers/service since the TURN should be scaled by connections and throughput plus possibly requires a higher network bandwidth.
Yes, but you need a static ip address, resilient server software components, acceptance of occasional inconvenience.

IPV6 works, so long as you have a jump box to get you from a CGNAT'ed IPV4 network into the global IPV6 world.

If you want to skip on the jump box, you could give up some convenience and go with TOR to get yourself back to your home-AWS setup.

I would say this is the biggest barrier to utilizing home compute.

As for reliability, you could use just program stuff to dependency failure rates of 5% (up time of 95%).

I would not run any Docker containers or Kubernetes as that will be too much work. I would stick to bare metal and not bother with isolation. Just make sure you are using certificate authentication or SSH. Do not use a user name and password or expected to be pwned.

Lastly, I would definitely consider using gitlab.com to host code and run a gitlab runner from home. The previous parts of what I wrote become moot. The runner just connects when it can and runs jobs.
I'm curious why you aren't anti-ad. Ads are psychological manipulation. Why would you want to subject yourself to that?

I was recently visiting some family, and saw the garbage my 7-year-old nephew sits through to get to the YouTube video he wants to see[0]. I can only assume we're just training a new generation of kids to believe that ads are a normal, inevitable part of every kind of media consumption.

I agree that creators need to be compensated somehow. And I'd be fine throwing a couple tens of cents per view of a video rather than either watch ads or block them and freeload. But micropayments will never take off (for understandable reasons), so that's pretty much never an option. For creators I watch frequently, I contribute to their Patreon if they have one, at least. But if someone links me a one-off video from someone I've never heard of, and will probably never watch a video from again, I'm not going to do that, and I'm certainly not going to let them pollute my brain with whatever advertising they've decided to push.

But I loathe every form of advertising and will block it any chance I get. If I could wear AR glasses that blocked out things like billboards, I would.

The keyword (primarily for federal land) is MVUM. It stands for Motor Vehicle Use Map. It will be an awkward PDF. Green dotted will indicate trails you can drive on. If you can't pull off all trails to camp little dots will indicate where that's allowed.

BLM and USFS websites have horrible navigation. Just Google the name of the forest with "MVUM". You might also need to first Google forest name + district map and then Google MVUMs for the specific district.

Another option is the MVUM layer in CalTopo (the name comes from the fact it started as just CA, but it's national nowadays)
Someone please correct me if I'm way off the mark here: I assume the reason behind this purchase is to keep Windows relevant as a gaming platform.

> Advertising is inherently immoral and it's our moral obligation to drive advertisers into bankruptcy.

I agree with this on principle, but in reality I wonder how we'll pay for content online if this were to happen.

Micropayments will never be a thing, and subscriptions don't make sense for random one-off videos or articles.
