When AIs kill people, it is not because they are intelligent, but because they are given lethal powers without appropriate judgement. The first autonomous weapons platform with a kill count was an accident. https://www.wired.com/2007/10/robot-cannon-ki/ Self-driving cars kill people all the time. These things happen because the AIs are not super-intelligent, but people keep giving them too much power.
Same, but I think you got it backwards, at least based on their description.

There's a project setting for running linting tools on the fly rather than when invoking actions. These will do stuff like lint and refresh stuff as you type, but it adds latency and other weird jitters if the tools take longer than expected to finish execution. This is indicated next to the checkbox that enables the setting.

I usually turn the setting on, but there are a few projects that do make the UI sluggish where u have to turn them off. I'm not entirely sure what the problem is, some code with many dependencies works absolutely fine while some code with only basic crates turns into a lagfest. My suspicion is that there's a crate somewhere deep down the dependency tree that makes use of some very intensive macros that trip up the tooling.

I've also noticed that the most recent release of Rust made working with the tooling feel a lot snappier. Not sure what changed, but it's nice to see.

One laat thing I always recommend anyone running into weird IntelliJ/Clion/IDE slowdowns: check the difference between antivirus off/on to see if that influences things. Windows Defender just can't seem to deal with a program opening many small files. What this means for you depends (you probably shouldn't disable AV on a company laptop) but it may solve the mystery why your experience doesn't match other people's.
I personally prefer HDMI or DVI, I don't like DisplayPort because on the display that I have, when I turn off the display the computer detects it as if I've physically disconnected the display, which then moves all the windows that I had open around and breaks my macros...
It's as good as an intern today, there's definitely room to improve to avoid saying incorrect things - great work being done on providing negative samples during RLHF training; also some papers working on incorporating trust (not near my laptop so don't have links)

I can't speak for the original commenter, but I would definitely say that "is this actually X" is a pointless debate for most values of X. If I understand what people mean by X, there's no need to quibble about whether it satisfies my personal definition; if I don't understand, I should try to clarify rather than just saying "it's not really X" and crossing my arms.
There's also Thunderbolt over USB-C that does DisplayPort, but it doesn't support all the same versions as DisplayPort over USB-C. And there's also USB 4 but I don't know/understand if it changes anything.
They depend on others for many things regarding that support.
Lattice-free half-half attack on Bitcoin and Ethereum
A lattice attack has been recently published under the name “The curious case of the half-half Bitcoin ECDSA nonces” and experimented against Bitcoin. As a Swiss team loving the half and half cheese fondue, we had to investigate such attack. We discovered that our previous attack, “Polynonce“, is also applicable to this way of generating ECDSA nonces. We explain how in this post and show the results we obtained compared to the paper.
> You keep bringing up arguments I've already said will not sway me.

That's not a problem with the arguments, it's a problem with your worldview. If everything that happened that you directly benefit from 'wasn't you' and you therefore refuse to redress the wrongs done and on top of that refuse those same benefits to others that doesn't - in my opinion - make you a nice or reasonable person. Similar arguments have been put forth by the beneficiaries of crimes in the past and failed. You're obviously entirely welcome to your worldview and your feeling that if it wasn't you that did it that you can ignore the source of your wealth but such individual selfishness can add up to collective selfishness and that's the sort of thing that will sooner or later garner a collective response. And by then no amount of 'it wasn't me' will be of help because it was you, all along. By helping to correct these wrong and by being open to others being helped you serve yourself because you keep the social pressures at a manageable level. Ignoring them for too long leads to them spilling over.

From the announcement:

"We're excited to share with you a new library called Keras Core, a preview version of the future of Keras. In Fall 2023, this library will become Keras 3.0. Keras Core is a full rewrite of the Keras codebase that rebases it on top of a modular backend architecture. It makes it possible to run Keras workflows on top of arbitrary frameworks — starting with TensorFlow, JAX, and PyTorch."

Excited about this one. Please let us know if you have any questions.
The problem with nuclear is that there is no cheap form factor of nuclear reactors available right here and now, it's all "in the future...". Current NPP designs have painfully high CAPEX, way more so than solar.

And just slashing regulatory requirements to make it cheaper strikes me as unwise.

"The reason this distinction is critical is because these models are, in fact, nothing but mathematical functions. They take as input a bunch of numbers, and calculate and return a different bunch of numbers. They don’t do anything themselves — they can only calculate numbers."

> Conversely, if you can do these things in the absence of any training or outside influence, you're intelligent enough to be called a god.

So you're saying humans, collectively, are gods? After all, as a species we started with nothing - no "clean" training data, no paintings to replicate, not even language itself. And here we are - arguing about whether one creation of ours, trained on a bunch of other stuff we created, is as intelligent as us.

I suppose that they are saying that CockroachDB is a single binary which you just drop on a machine and you are good to go. For ScyllaDB you need to install Java, Python and several ScyllaDB related packages.
That very much depends on how much bandwidth you're pushing through the cable, older versions of HDMI could tolerate long cable runs but HDMI 2.1 is also limited to about 3m unless you use an expensive active optical cable. DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 is taking forever to come to market but it's going to be similarly limited in its high bandwidth modes when it does arrive.
I don't see that either. There is nothing legally grey about shipping kits. There is about shipping a finished product and marking it as a kit.

> I wouldn't say there is any threshold where purely functional programming shines less.

But what is the set of problems you are usually solving? Any problem set that involves a lot of mutable set is not well-suited for functional programming, in my opinion. And maybe problems where efficiency is important, although I don't know enough to have an opinion on that. Some areas that come to mind are:

- systems programming (which you said)

- GUI programming

- games

- large simulations? Maybe if you can reuse the before and after buffers FP would work okay there.

GUI's have a surprising amount of state, which is why immediate-mode GUIs haven't really taken off. (Yes, there's Dear ImGUI, but it actually uses the name of the control to store retained-mode state under the hood) It sounds really good when you think about buttons and sliders, but then you come to text editing or list-box selection...
The air is the most limited source of carbon we have. There is probably more of it in coal, and certainly more in fossil fuels.

But anyway, a huge part of the Earth's crust is composed of carbon-rich rocks. If we ever take the carbon from the air, it will be to regulate its amount. Taking it from rocks is much easier and requires a comparably tiny amount of infrastructure.

They're saying that microservices scale much worse than monoliths at the beginning, and need to reach a certain scale before they're worth the effort. The debate around is usually around where that inflection point is, and to a lesser degree if there are other non-scale advances to microservices that might make it worth adopting sooner.

1. LLMs are general pattern machines. They can generalize and complete in context to a wide variety of complex non linguistic patterns.https://general-pattern-machines.github.io/

2. LLMs see positive transfer in multi lingual capability. For example, an LLM trained on 500B tokens of English and 10B tokens of French will not speak in french like a model trained on only 10B tokens of French. What will happen is that the model will be nearly as competent in French as it is in English

3. Language models of code reason better even if the benchmarks have nothing to do with code.

This gets stated a lot, but I don't think it's actually true and RH has stated they don't see an actual benefit from this. Plus, they already have that ecosystem that isn't just free-version of RHEL with CentOS Stream and Fedora.
Last time I tried this, the overlayfs was disabled in response to a CVE. Once that's re-enabled, I do think this could be a useful tool with some better wrappers; running every application in its own firejail (assuming easy to set up) would be pretty sweet.

Deduplicating by SHA (so, exactly the same bytes) is straightforward, and phototprism does that: https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/library/duplicates/

Unfortunately, if you've used Google Takeout or other systems that can both downsample your photos and videos, as well as actually deleting _or changing_ metadata, deduplicating becomes a big wad of heuristics.

My first approach was to build a UID based on a series of metadata fields (like captured-at time, the shutter count of the camera body, and the geohash), but that breaks when metadata is missing or edited from their sibling variants.

Just finding what assets to compare against by time proved to be problematic in some edge cases. By storing in UTC (which is how I've built systems for the last thirty years!) made any file that didn't encode a time zones be wrong by whatever the correct offset was--almost all videos, and many RAW file formats don't have timezones. The solution I came up with was to encoding captured-at time _in the local time_, rather than UTC. I also infer or extract a milliseconds of precision for the date stamp, so files with more or less precision will still overlap during the initial captured-at query.

If you're interested, more details are here: https://photostructure.com/faq/what-do-you-mean-by-deduplica...

My main point here is to expose how deep this rabbit hole goes—I'd suggest you think about these different scenarios, and how aggressive or conservative you want to be in duplicate aggregation, and what you want to do with inexact duplicates.

Most importantly: have full offline backups before you use any deduping or asset management system. When (not if) the tool you're using behaves differently from how you expected, you won't have lost any data.
> The US having data on me by itself isn't a huge deal; there's no fucking way I will ever want to live there and factually:

I don't know how anyone can say this with certainty about any country these days unless you have a terminal disease or are up there in laps around the sun.

You have Western leaders literally toying with the idea of starting WW3 this week by inviting Ukraine into NATO - and sure it's not a certaintly, but so-called world leaders with bunkers are surprisingly laissez-aller about this.

And sure, the US is part of that block of countries, but there's a ton more distance between Russia and the US, than between Russia and Sweden.
If money is flowing to the US to buy real estate, I say good. That’s more money being pumped into our economy, more money going to local communities via property taxes. Let’s build more real estate meet this demand.

What we've discovered is that the first model breakthroughs have been able to largely demolish that dream.

IMO pure FP is nice because _compositionality_ is nice. If my problem has lots of simple data structures that represent mathematical objects, then usually I find that most of things I want to do with them can be succinctly modeled with pure function compositions. When my problem gets more complex, including but not limited to state, monads can restore that compositionality in a way that works with the rest of my pure code.

This property is true to varying degrees outside of pure FP too. For example in Rust I find that expression-orientation makes programs fairly easy to compose, modulo thinking about ownership.
> "Intelligence" is a word we made up

So is all human knowledge. They're all things we "made up" to describe the world around us. That's a really cheap way to reduce something. There's a mountain of psychological literature that intends to describe and measure intelligence. Saying it doesn't mean much of anything is a bit of a postmodern hot take.

> If an LLM can compose a poem found in no existing book, paint an attractive picture that no one has ever seen, or write a program that has never run before, it's intelligent enough to be called "intelligent."

Painting pictures and composing poems aren't good ways to measure general intelligence. That's creativity. They're correlated but not the same.

There are specific tests for measuring general intelligence, and there's absolutely no way current gen LLM would score highly on them because they don't even accept visual input. Yes I've seen that they can score highly on verbal-only tests. That's obvious anyway because they have seen, written down, and have access to the answers during the test.

Even if they did accept visual input they would only be able to solve problems for which they've previously been given the answers (trained on the dataset). Even then I'd have my doubts given how terribly wrong ChatGPT4 is when I ask it to produce a very simple Kubernetes manifest which has a strictly defined spec.
Nuclear reactors are cheap. What is expensive is regulatory compliance, and regulatory boards changing the rules while the reactor is being constructed in place. A way around this is to buy a pre-fab reactor that has already made it through regulatory and was fabricated in a factory.

As a daily Mac and Windows user... I could write a large article, and when people ask me this, I always say a different thing - because there are too many. So there it is today's:

Leave my screen real estate alone, please get rid of this annoying menu bar that gets in the way when I'm trying to use the mouse to switch tabs in the application. This is UI thinking from the 1980s. It's very easy to misclick the tab because of the fine control skills required to avoid the menu bar. I don't want full screen because of my multi-monitor setup.

Interestingly, speaking of multimonitor... Connecting my M2 to my gaming monitor... Windows syncs with the monitor in 3 seconds, the Mac takes 10 seconds.
Except in the microservice approach with multiple servers you have introduced the possibility of network partitioning where microservice A can't reach microservice B. Unless your language/runtime model can deal with that you have hidden that error case in your abstraction. I think a lot of microservice architectures are implemented with the YOLO model where there is no thought to network errors and all calls are assumed to succeed.

Language/runtimes like Erlang & Elixir on the BEAM/OTP that were built with this in mind work well. They are completely functional with all state contained with lightweight processes and can send messages with timeout handling transparently across nodes in a cluster. With OTP you get a supervision tree for those processes that can automatically restart nodes and child processes of nodes.
