Oh, damn, you are right, I had no idea. I just saw their front page, really liked its design and felt like you guys might like it as well. It's very much like Tailwind, but, unlike the latter one, it doesn't hide example components behind the paywall, which puts TACHYONS far ahead.
... this is an open source federated app. There is NO reason you can't run your own instance that you control and back up that participates in the network. IF you don't want to pay for expensive hosting, but want it to be always on, then throw it on a raspberry pie and run it from home.

also, because it's federated, all the data you add is backed up on all the other instances that federate with yours. It isn't easy to recreate from their copies, but it's not lost.
Can you suggest any large bitmap fonts for use in terminals? I find them much cleaner than antialiased (i.e., blurred) fonts.

By "large", I mean that they are readable on a hidpi monitor without scaling. Thus at least of size 24 pixels, hopefully larger. So far the only one that I know is Terminus, which is not particularly beautiful.
For me, I'm not sure why there is a "Ms. Nancy Pelosi," and a "Nancy Pelosi," that both have trade activity.

(Nancy Pelosi is interesting. She entered Congress worth about ~3-4 million. Now she is worth $100 million, give or take $20 million depending on the estimate. Interesting. I'm not saying it's Insider Trading, but the probability...)
"SteamOS is our Linux-based operating system. The base system draws from Debian 8, code named Debian Jessie."

Debian Jessie is terribly out of date and hasn't seen regular security updates for five years now, from https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/:

> Debian “jessie” Release Information

> Debian 8.11 was released June 23rd, 2018. Debian 8.0 was initially released on April 26th, 2015. The release included many major changes, described in our press release and the Release Notes.

> Debian 8 has been superseded by Debian 9 (stretch). Regular security support updates have been discontinued as of June 17th, 2018.

edit: it looks like the SteamOS build for custom hardware is no longer available for download, as the download link now leads to a "Download SteamOS: Steam Deck Image" page.

I believe this sort of system is one of the main reasons why WGA and SAG-AFTRA are striking. Even though this seeks to "augment" the writing process, it ultimately leads to not needing a writer at all. It also just requires an actor provide enough audio to generate a believable voice. All of the limitations to fully automated episodic generation are essentially temporary.
If their statement is that they haven't changed the weights, there still an immense number of things they can toy with.

For example, the prompt may add more 'safety' language in it, which can cause strange differences to occur, or typical_p sampling values, top_p, top_k, etc, or if they do use mixture of experts, they may even be able to 'use less experts' and only run 1/4 of the models, such that the speed is improved greatly.

There's plenty of ways to make the model change output without retraining.
The particle-physics breakthrough that paved the way for the Higgs boson
One thing I've always wondered about this is how to handle circumstantial evidence. Let's say you have a relative who may have insider information on a stock. You talk sometimes but not regularly. They call you (as they occasionally do) the day before you trade a stock and it performs favorably within a short time period.

Are you now in a position where you have to prove a negative? Are there people in prison right now because of exactly this type of occurrence, or is it so circumstantial that it's not even pursued unless there is additional evidence, e.g. you always buy $500-1k in stock but after this call you buy $10k in options or something.
Strongly agree with this. IIRC, in RMarkdown state is treated as a separate cache stored outside the notebook and loaded as needed. You could use something like dvc or gitlfs to manage those cache files, and since the Markdown file is plain text, use regular git to inspect changes to the notebook implementation.

I feel like Jupyter notebooks are the PDFs of data science. They are super useful for displaying results, but bake that data in a super inconvenient way for doing anything but rendering the data to look nice.
Non-fluent lisp programmers work much harder just to keep up (with work on a program written in lisp)
This seems super overbroad? "Executive branch employees" is basically everyone who works for the federal government, which is 2.1 million civilians and another 1.3 million active-duty military. Most of these people are, like, border patrol agents or Social Security clerks or nurses at Veterans Affairs hospitals or prison guards, and are just middle-class workers who won't have access to insider information anyway.
Thanks for this considered response!

> obligatory gender in animate pronouns

While it's just one in a long list of things, I'll point out that singular "they" is available (and has a long history) for people wishing to use non-gendered, animate pronouns. (I have also heard "it", but, while everyone's mileage will differ, my brain has a much harder time getting over the difficulty with reading "it" as animate than it does the difficulty with reading "they" as singular.)
> Notably just about the entire developed world is protein deficient.

This is very a countervailing claim against what you find when you google protein needs, so I'd like to see some sources for it. Especially for people who aren't even working out.

For example, top google results:

- https://www.health.harvard.edu/nutrition/when-it-comes-to-pr...

- https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/resources/2020-2025-dietar...

"""Contrary to all the hype that everyone needs more protein, most people in the U.S. meet or exceed their needs. This is especially true for males ages 19–59. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020–2025 indicate that men in that age range are exceeding their protein recommendations, especially from meat, poultry and eggs."""

> Eating proper levels of protein just leaves you so absurdly full.

Let's say you eat 200g protein per day (1g/1lb weight). I can come up with wildly different dietary patterns that hit that goal. Frankly, the protein dense foods seem the least filling way to hit that number since they don't hit 2000+ calories.

- 260g protein powder: 920 calories

- 2100g tofu: 1800 calories

- 750g beef sirloin: 1875 calories

- 950g seitan: 1000 calories

- 730g chicken breast: 1340 calories

Not to say you should eat any one food item, but I think it's ancient broscience that protein is magically satiating, else you could easily fill up on protein powder and potatoes wouldn't be the most satiating food per calorie.

So I think you're in broscience territory unless you elaborate a bit more.
What to do if you've been caught biting someone else's work
You have to pick your battles, and pay for stuff you want more of. All the different apps are annoying, and it’s possible to come up with alternative solutions, but it undermines your own long term benefits.

This crowd is probably the biggest target for SciFi, and also the one that can pirate stuff the most. So if you want more Star Trek Strange New Worlds, you need to pay for the app so they know it’s worth making more. If you pirate it, all the good will in the world isn’t going to pay for production of the next season. The fact that so much SicFi seems to have good reception but gets cancelled anyway seems to point to this audience being too tech savvy for their own good.

Pay for the apps, pay for the content. If you want to sign up, binge, then cancel, that will at least give them some stats on the type of shows that will get you to subscribe again.
If you know the tuning and scale length of the guitar, you can map the note played (audio) to string and fret position without trying to work that out from video?

I imagine audio waveform is a magnitude easier than video recognition.

Video would be a pain because you would probably need to synchronise hand fretting position with picking/strumming timing to know which video frame actually 'struck' each string or chord, right?

Imagine finger style guitar or flamenco, the picking patterns are at least as complex as the fretted hand position.

Triple-A is a designation given to games which receive some undefined large amount of funding toward its development. That tends to correlate with being developed or published by a large studio, which Dave the Diver definitely was, but MINTROCKET wasn't given nearly the same resources as, say, a typical Xbox Games Studio studio would be.
Yes. The proposed solution seems to be, lets make it harder for everyone to read anything.

I think the money printing machine is fine. Stagnating a bit, but that's it.

Rather this seems a time where companies check who is in fact not contributing in any way at all to the functioning of the money printing machine.
If you're paying for it, it's a released product, not a beta. No matter how much a company wants to claim it's a "beta", it's simply not. The company just wants to be able to adhere to lower standards.

OpenAI is hardly the only company that pulls these shenanigans, too.
It will be interesting to see what the language space looks like 100-200 years from now.

Almost certainly the world will converge onto fewer and fewer languages, likely just one being commonly used in the end.

Sad to lose the edge that language gives to cultural uniqueness, but hard to argue the costs of communication barriers are worth it.

Another way it could go is for widely available real time translating tools. The technology is already pretty much there... but this still adds overhead to communication

Most back end systems do string templating, most of the exceptions compile templates ahead of time like Cold Fusion and .NET.

An alternate approach is to work entirely at the DOM level, a bit of a manifesto for that

https://ontology2.com/the-book/html5-the-official-document-l...

To take the common case, your "master template" could be an HTML page with a few "slots" in, say <div> elements with a certain id or class. The main content for a page is another HTML page, both of these are parsed to the DOM, the <body> of the donor page is extracted, grafted into the slot of the host page.

More generally we can write functions that act on the DOM just as someone can write code that works on the AST of a programming language.

One capability that ought to be possible is transclusion, in fact the "Real Semantics" system that was being designed at that time was a system for annotating documents and extracting knowledge from them and the first step of that is that a document is "fixated" an embedded in an another document, pinned down the way an entomologist pins down a butterfly.

This is on the edge of possibility: cut-and-pasting an arbitrary fragment of HTML out of somebody else's document and also rewriting id and class names and relevant CSS styles such that the the donor HTML looks the same way it did in the host HTML. (Or better yet, the CSS is manipulated so as to maintain the intent of the donor document in a way consistent with the host document)

Anyhow, one major barrier to this is that DOM parsing is pretty slow, a simple system based on DOM parsing can be two orders of magnitude slower than string templates. (No wonder ASP.NET compiles templates ahead of time)

Another one is ubiquitous Javascript; from my viewpoint a static document that can be "pinned down" is dramatically more valuable than a changable document in that I can easily repurpose the static document. (In literary criticism is is notable that a document is "dead" and can't fight back against a hostile or inventive reader, say Derrida or Badiou.) You certainly can snapshot the DOM of a dynamic document the way that Google can index React-based sites, but it sure is a hassle.
> us techies kinda get Mastodon is not a single place like Twitter so the only explanation for not saying "I moved from Twitter to such or such community" is not wanting people to know.

Eh? There are _some_ Mastodon instances which are to some a community distinct from Mastodon writ large, but that's not most of them. I moved from Twitter initially to mastodon.online (one of the giant ones, not really a community at all), then to mastodon.ie (the generic Ireland one; marginally a community, but only very marginally), and reserve the right to move further if appropriate. But I don't see why anyone would care about the distinction between them, really.

Generally, I would assume it's less not wanting people to know, and more that it's irrelevant detail. I think this is maybe a common point of confusion over Mastodon; for most people, for most purposes, the instance _simply does not matter_. There are some generally very small instances which are highly focused on specific communities (and may even require that user content revolves largely around those communities) but those are rare; I'd expect under 1% of the user ship. For most people Mastodon is the community, not their instance.

If someone says "I used to do business mostly by post and fax, but now do it mostly by email" you wouldn't go "ah, but are you using gmail or hotmail? It must be a conspiracy because you don't want to tell us!" They don't name the email provider because it is _irrelevant_.

To be fair to sama he did say that "it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it"[1] but I suspect that was a kind of 4d chess move to hope to be quoted in situations like this when he knew the hype died down a few months later to cushion the blow after the hype cooled off.

I feel like it has gotten worse. Your expectations have shifted towards knowing and accepting you have to prompt it a certain way. When you started, "holy shit I can just use natural language". GPT4 is influencing the bar we are setting for it, and the bar we are setting for it is influencing the outcome of its training. If you've been under a rock and you just found out about chatGPT today, you'd find it less fluid and impressive than the rest of us when we started.
>And how many successful CEOs of large companies were successful without demonstrating they could manage a large org before getting promoted.

There's something fishy about how developers continue to demonstrate the ability to write/ship software but they don't get regular raises, but it works differently for managers/execs for some reason. This and the poaching agreements are why we have job hopping as the primary lifting force of compensation.

It's also like your above post about L6s doing multiple L5s worth of work: that L6 pay doesn't scale with output/revenue impact.

It should actually be the opposite because managerial badness might happen in big bangs (whole team leaving) or very obvious red flags (abusive shitbags), but developers have access to a lot more objective information that could be used to drive promotion decisions, but that still doesn't happen.

Why Async, especially considering Zig intends to be something like a High Level "portable Assembly"?
Interesting project... in the hopes of maybe nerd-sniping you (or having someone tell me where it already exists), I'll tell you the story I'd really like a solution to but can never seem to find time to build:

I have 5 un-pushed commits. I missed a 1-line change to that first one. I add that one line change to staging (gitui/lazygit/whatever), then I want to `git commit --fixup=COMMIT`. Finding that COMMIT is always a manual process for me for two reasons.

First I have to find the commit to which it applies. This commit is almost always the commit that changed the same line, or added lines around it, or something similar. I guess you could say it's the commit with the closest proximity to the change I'm adding.

Second I have to find the hash of that commit. If I've since done something like an autosquash rebase then it'll have changed. I generally end up using the mouse to do a copy/paste at this point.

Why not skip the fixup commits and just rebase right then, you might ask. Well the commits are signed, and signing requires tapping my yubikey for each commit after that.

I would really like to be able to do something like `git commit --I'm-an-idiot-and-missed-this-so-please-apply-a-fixup-to-the-proper-commit`, and have it do the figuring out for me.
