Yes, I'd encourage you to post this somewhere else if it doesn't get attention here. I've been thinking about this recently and I'm convinced that one or more credible GPL'd (modified as necessary to reflect model weights) alternative sets of foundation models is what's needed to keep complete control out of the hands of big tech and special interests.

> Managers couldn't view the historical data in any way. There were no bonuses or rewards based on it. So there was no reason to lie and send it to a new station screen early.

It seems like the system described would be resilient to that? If there were incentives, tracking, and punishment, the process still involves the earlier-stage employee keying the pizza out and then the later-stage employee keying it in. If the earlier-stage guy benefits from lying about how quickly he finishes his stage of the pizza, how does he persuade the later-stage guy to take the fall of incredible slowness by keying the pizza in to his stage early?
Reminded me of the time when I had to write a piece performance-sensitive code in C++ but I decided that unit tests are not performance sensitive so I wrote them in Go. Naturally I used SWIG. It worked quite well since the C++ code exposed a very simple interface.

I thought I could leave it that way until one day a manager came and questioned why we had terrible unit test coverage. It turned out we had separate tools for measuring code coverage in C++ and Go and it was impossible to make them work together.
I'd be interested to learn more about this. Where can I find data on how admissions depts view homeschooled kids versus other kids?

Finding the differences...if your grandchildren are a tiny bit inquisitive they'd ask why did your (our) generation put the world on hold for 2 years while some decades earlier we went on as business as usual to work and have fun and accomplish great things both in the realm of work and fun.
pffffffffffffff yea right. maybe if you're building some tiny project one like 1 platform. anything serious and you're immediately diving through github issues for solutions to problems and poring over the source of both cibuildwheel and pip.
I tried to order a pizza at a big pizza chain near me, but their website wouldn't take my address!

It was one of these autocomplete drop-down but it won't let you enter anything not in the options.

I tried calling them but the guy on the phone was also telling me the system wouldn't accept my address!

In the end he did the delivery himself since there were not a lot of customers that day and knew the correct address.

*Caveat, I can't agree or disagree with the claim that most PCs are discarded faster. We still have a software problem with Macs. I don't know.
There’s a ton of these designed in modern times for emulator development. I’m not specifically sure about this one though.
I'm so confused about running these models locally only. When reading about the llm tool, I thought, ok, this helps organize all the pieces on my machine. But then it uses a replicate API key, so clearly it requires a network connection. Is this just to download the models? I feel like we need a new license or packaging model that clearly states whether the computation is happening locally or remotely. It's very important to me and often hard to know until I'm a long way into the installation process.

Everyone says they are hiring, but in reality most are just sitting there holding fishing rods with their lines in the water. I don't believe any company that says they are unable to find candidates after these recent layoffs, and watching actual candidates getting ghosted after applying to hundreds (thousands) of jobs.

Right, I get what an LP is. As I said in the other thread, I'm mainly trying to use charity to the opening post to find a way it can be meaningful. With an idea that mayhap you could use RL to try and explore a solution space that you don't know the penalty for non-compliance to a solution.

Specifically, use LP to craft a plan in an iteration of scenarios that is varying a cost function through iterations. I suspect I'm fumbling in the multi period planning realm more so than the RL one, here.

I further suspect, though, that it is more "if you can formalize your problem such that LP solves it, use LP." That is, the opening post was largely just nonsensical?
nothing amusing about it, just a simple statement of fact:

In grad school, I had conversations with a couple different conversations with fellow PhD students in the life sciences. The question I asked was not about p-values / hypothesis testing but about the (lack of use) of something else technical (I don’t recall the specific question). They all responded, “we haven’t done math since our intro to calculus class and we don’t know how to code.”

I feel like that is really at the heart of the problem. It is difficult to create the kind of bespoke scientific model required and use it to perform statistical analysis when you lack the mathematical and computational background. If you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s very easy to misapply existing statistical tests, let alone understand why you might care about something like the bias and variance of your estimator. It’s an understandable problem — if you are a biologist, you want to think about biology, not statistics and most biology work doesn’t require math so it appeals to the scientifically-minded that dislike math and programming.

I’m curious if people here who studied those subjects think this intuition tracks, or if I am way off base. If it is part of the problem, I don’t know what the solution is beyond requiring more mathematical and computational literacy, which likely comes at the cost of discipline-specific material.
That is starting to require too many resources... We want this things to consume as little as possible.

Personally, without considering languages, I think IDE subconsciously cause complexity and increase entropy for a project. When things are at the a single key jump it's easy to insert code wherever and eventually build a jumbled mess. I've seen this in too many projects. Going without IDE causes a short term pain but eventually the organization gets there and it speeds up because the code is simply better organized and where to look for things are either imprinted or self evident.

> I've had the same idea. It would (I guess) rewriting the kernel from the ground up to turn every stream into two streams ?

Many (but not all) Unix implementations already have support for “record-oriented pipes” in the kernel, it is just that support has rarely been used. Linux has record-oriented Unix domain sockets (SOCK_SEQPACKET), but few use them.

> Telecoms uses both concepts (in-band signaling and out-of-band signaling) but I guess the Unix developers didn't get the memo ?

The original Bell Labs Unix team created STREAMS, which does support true record-oriented IO. Most commercial Unix implementations (such as Solaris and AIX) support it (or at least did at one point). But Berkeley Sockets won the mindshare competition, and open source Unix-likes (such as Linux and BSDs) never added streams support. There was a project to add it to Linux, but Linus was opposed to the idea, so it never got merged, and I think it has since been abandoned.

Even before STREAMS, Unix supported record-oriented IO in the terminal subsystem (cooked mode). But it wasn’t general, it was very specific to the needs of interactive use. STREAMS was intended as a generalisation but it never caught on. So even today all Unix-likes have a purpose-specific (rather than general) record-IO implementation in their tty subsystems, pseudoterminals, etc
The release of this pretty much hosed my morning at work. Suddenly CI wouldn’t build because this broke things in pyyaml and awscli.

Start reading production level Python.

I mean, so many people want to write production-level code and yet never took the time to actually read the production-level code right in their faces!

Even the standard library is worth seeing. Next time you import pathlib.Path, right click it, select "See Definition" and go find out how the sausage is made.

Obviously you are not expected to understand _everything_. But you will be surprised you will understand a bit. And then a bit more. And you will start getting comfortable dealing with production-level code. Soon you'll start writing it yourself.

Except this is a blatant misrepresentation. The CDC data shows that the covid associated death rate has dropped "normal", but all cause mortality rates are still above normal worldwide.

This kind of smacks of the skewing of the numbers where we saw influenza deaths dropped to nothing at the same time we saw covid deaths rise. The real problem is this is propagandizing these numbers because the real number that needs to be looked at is all cause mortality rate and that is still on average 9% above normal across all nations.

The fact that this is not being investigated by either the CDC or the world health organization is a travesty that's pointing out the politicalization of this.

Just a few posts later on hacker News you can see the headline that China deletes covid-19 death data.
In straight reporting, the title, or "headline," is a story summary. But there are many kinds of writing where the title is a teaser, something to get the reader to turn their attention to it. The worst of the them are "clickbait," but this one is something different. It encourages the reader to click, but not by misleading. Instead it teases, begging the reader to look at the article to make sense of it.

Man I miss good old GRUB, which I guess is called GRUB legacy now? Most entries only required 4-5 lines of config and there was no ugly shell syntax, a million options, conditionals etc.

Probably just because I grew up with it, but MBR and disk/boot management on Linux was so much simpler back then.

512 bytes of partition table + bootloader(well, the bootstrapping part anyway). Partitions had one simple, 3 character name in /dev. No weird FAT32 partitions full of mysterious files, UEFI stuffed full of unnecessary features, but you can be damn sure a desktop or laptop board is gonna provide all the ones that make your life harder, and none of the actually useful ones.

I'm sure there are lots of good technical reasons why everything needs a UUID now, and so on and so forth, but none of all this complexity solved any problem I actually had in the before times. It just added the problem of now having to read a buttload of documentation every time I even think about touching this stuff.

At some point a few years back, I wanted to switch DNS servers on my laptop running some ubuntu derivative at the time. resolv.conf was still there, so I edited it. Nothing happened. Eventually I ended up finding like 4 different files in various places specifying DNS. And only one was the right one to change. Others might do nothing or actually break DNS.

One of these days I'll probably throw up my hands, put my mobo in legacy mode, and install some bare bones, Systemd free distro. Maybe Crux Linux or Slackware if those even exist still.
I agree with you, but in regards to Chrome, thats been the case for at least 10 years, so I'm not sure what good pointing it out now will do. that ship has sailed, and aint comin back. better would be to point people toward better options, if they exist.

Oh, I see what you’re saying. I agree. Although even with driving, an unlicensed driver would still be liable.

I suppose it depends what you consider agreement to social rules and how you define liability. I can certainly be held liable for damages for my actions to others which do not require me to hold any license - merely break the law.

That may work for small projects[1], but for large projects you quickly run into a limit where manual navigation and lookup become very prohibitive to one's ability to efficiently write code.

Even then I'd rather avoid cumbersome navigation and typing (the fingers on keyboard kind this time, not the type system kind), as well as catching a lot of problems only in the compile step (if existing) in the best case, or at runtime in the worst case (common in python without static typing extensions).
