The Chrysalids would be another choice of mine to be filmed - a post-apocalyptic coming of age drama.

I'm a big Lovecraft fan and have tried to watch as many of the video versions as possible, but most of the adaptations turn out to be fairly rubbish. Color Out of Space was good fun though. I think the best Lovecraftian films are not directly related and I'd recommend AM1200 as an excellent short that gives a really good Lovecraftian feel.
What will they own instead, and will the resulting motivation distortions be better or worse?
“Lossage” can also mean loss of service or other breakage. Any failure that wastes your time debugging and fixing the problem.

AC is much more energy efficient than heating. (Other than heat pump heating, which is not yet common worldwide.)

And yet I always hear people fret about the energy use of AC but not heating.

I think it's based in our naturalistic fallacy.

Heating all of Chicago to be bearable in the winter is seen as "natural" as humans have been heating our homes for millennia. But Las Vegas cooling it's interior spaces is seen as strange and unnatural. And yet, cooling a warm environment is better from an environmental point of view than warming a cold one.

> stopping production of manmade greenhouse gasses will not immediately reduce the amount of those gasses in the atmosphere, so heating will likely continue for many years after peak output

Regarding the stopping of manmade greenhouse gasses, the consensus has been changing over the last few years though and it's pretty wildly believed that the "heat in the pipeline" phenomenon isn't actually true. Here's the best summary on why zero emissions will mean an immediate end to global warming: https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-will-global-warming-st...
The funny thing is that sounds like a perfect case for systemd: By eating so many parts of the OS (here, device management, filesystem mounting, networking, and service management), it should be able to create very explicit dependency graphs - "this mount depends on this network which depends on this device". I wonder where the problem is - can it not properly handle something between the device and network? Or is it hitting the "network is up" goal too early?
I don't understand what you're arguing for. Science is responsible for information warfare? Huh?

> We might assume that this roughly correlates with positions that you do and do not agree with.

I'm not agreeing nor disagreeing with anything in that paragraph. I'm just pointing out that the bullshit TFA refers to are signs of information warfare, and that the sociopolitical climate we've seen in Western countries in recent years is a clear effect of it. I'm also saying that nudging people to think critically can help a small percentage of people, as the referenced study shows, but that this isn't a cure for the high efficacy of IW.
Apple is so bad at AI that they couldn't even get autocorrect right on the iPhone keyboard right until the end of 2023 (iOS 17). They willingly ignored most of the AI advances over the last 10 yers. How investors think highly of this company's management is mystery to me...

> Like every time someone streams a song on sportify, the artist gets a few pennies

You're thinking of broadcast radio. Streaming is a fraction of a penny!

> So should they be paid a few pennies every time the LLM spits out a response that "used" that training data?

That doesn't sound unreasonable! I understand that current LLMs have no way to report "this token came from this data" but that doesn't mean it's impossible to build. (Ack: this is a full-on proper dunning-kruger, having not looked into it & having zero knowledge of the field.)

But I think it's probably more reasonable to simply split a % of the service revenue across everyone whose data was used. Or pay an up-fee for ingesting the data in the first place.

Generally, it's crazy to name that some people think it's reasonable for these companies to pay for GPUs and CPUs and electricity to run them but not for the data that's the actual core of their service.
Glad to see a custom merge driver being used here - they’re one of the most powerful of git’s obscure features. Large teams working on a monorepo inevitably start noticing that particular files are magnets for conflicts (or other times, in cases like this, some files are a huge pain to resolve whenever they conflict).

This happens especially frequently if your team uses a lot of CIGARs (checked in generated artifacts)

In most cases writing a simple driver to automatically handle the conflict resolution is pretty straightforward (especially if the resolution is usually just to regenerate a generated file) and well worth the up front effort to eliminate ongoing conflict headaches.

https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_defining_a_custom_me...

The main hassle is that for security reasons all developers need to opt in by registering the merge driver , which you can put in a project bootstrap script if you have one. Would be great if GitHub (disclaimer: where I used to work) would integrate custom merge drivers in their internal conflict resolution flow.
It boils down to this: If you have some fraction of your students who get in, not on their primary merits as students, but for some other reason that benefits the rest of the student body in some way, eliminating that fraction of the students benefits a handful of students who were at the very top of the waitlist to get in, at the cost of the benefits those preferentially selected students provided.

In both athletics and the kids of rich donors cases, I'd be happy to defend that being a bad trade-off. The networking value of the rich kids going to the same university as me far outweighs the slight increase in average academic prowess of the university (emphasis on slight: remember, these are students who ranked below every other student in the merit-based application pool).

Athletics is a smaller effect size than the rich kids, but at the end of the day by providing very valuable labor to the university for approximately free, they completely pay for the sports programs (some of which the merit-admitted enjoyed, such as having a very large gym open 24 hours a day), in addition to feeding money back into the university, subsidizing everyone else's education. Couple that with the fact that these students are disproportionately NOT taking up seats in the most competitive programs, and it's still a net positive for the student body.
Oh man, you nailed it there!

> tax is calculated ignoring what's actually on the land

Isn't that the point? LVT forces land to be valued more so large less productive land use shifts to more productive use
Negative rights not conflicting with each other is the main and perhaps only factor that distinguishes them from positive rights, so if you don't think that is true, of course you won't find a difference.

When it comes to practical implementation, the tools used to maintain negative rights are the same as the tools used to maintain positive rights, so they appear very similar.

If you're familiar with the concept, you probably already know that negative rights prohibit other people from actions, while positive rights require other people to take actions.

I'm curious why you think this distinction is not valid.
I mean it is just like the YC model, 1% of the companies will give outsized rewards which will more than justify investing in the 99%. Same way, Harvard is probably propped up by the 1% of kids who it takes in who do great things and the rest can just enjoy the privilege of being alumni of such a "great institution". These top institutions take in not only unworthy rich kids but also the cream of the crop in science, leadership etc...
How is it possible to for the success rate to go from 98% to 2%? What is the author's explanation for this?
Was at the same camp but when I moved to retina screens source code pro seemed a bit better to me.

Don’t ask why. It just feels right lol.
What's even with this style of code that seems to be trying to save up on local variables? It instead writes directly into the output buffer's pointer then immediately re-reads the value back from there and then performing the relevant logic (which may include un-writing the value from the buffer). Memory reads aren't that easily optimized away and this style easily leads to logic errors just like this one.

Also, I think you got the "what will work" question backwards with signed/unsigned. MSVC on x86/x64 has signed char and so, e.g., "isupper(c = fgetc(f))" segfaults on reading a non-ASCII char; and similarly in this case reading "я" from a Win-1251-encoded file (or "ÿ" from a Win-1252-encoded file) will be treated as (premature) EOF.

No, that's exactly opposite of what I meant when I described what I'm working on, that all of the alternatives that you both with OP described are terrible in that specific case because of project constraints. I actually measured that!

I didn’t know Jung came up with this concept.

The power of ideas is amazing. Hardly anyone knows Jung, but everyone knows introvert vs extravert.

The same goes for Freud, more have heard of him but still mostly under educated people, but everyone knows what is meant by subconscious, which was a concept he came up with.

Even though they both had many weird, good and bad ideas. Their reputation as great thinkers iOS valid just by these 2 contributions they made to human thoughts.

Ages from now kids will speak of their subconscious and being an introvert while Jung & Freuds names will only be known to a few niche historians.
I actually do treat them very differently on my Home Mini. I want them to be different in the following ways:

- Timers can be set to the second (2 minutes 30 seconds), alarms are only to the minute (5:00) (it already works this way, I think)

- A timer noise should be immediate and jarring (so you can rush out of the other room to pull the thing out of the oven before it burns), alarms should start quiet and harmonious and only gradually increase in volume and obnoxiousness as needed to wake you up (sadly, few alarms are like that, but Google timer/alarm sounds are different)

- Ideally you want to be able to give timers names when you set them ("oven", "stockpot", "toaster oven") when you're using multiple, that are repeated when they go off (Google doesn't do this). You don't need this with alarms

- Alarms need a snooze option. Timers don't

While they both involve a sonic alert after a certain amount of time, their use cases are so different that they really are totally separate features.
You might have a different perspective if you lived and worked in a region whose once vibrant manufacturing industries had decimated by globalization. Or if you invented something valuable and had it instantly ripped off by a Chinese competitor beyond the reach of western IP laws. Etc. etc.

You may not like Thiel's "nationalism", but there is certainly a coherent through line from a society whose middle class has been eroded by globalization to its increasingly polarized and manic politics. Trump voters, for example, feel he speaks directly to their pain, which has its roots in globalization.

Thiel's view on globalization seems to be that it has not been good on a number of dimensions, but that the real problem for the U.S. (and all of humanity) is the stalling out of real technological innovation.

I agree with you and the GP… individual responsibilities are frauds ( CF : recycling)

At the same time I live in New Orleans where house are wooden box without a inch of insulation.

It’s a vaste on a large scale to AC that city ( or the south at large, housing are as shitty in MS, AL and so on.

But I command GP to at least think about it.

I agree with him that paying the real cost of things would help our best friend the free market do it’s only job.

( carbon intensive goods and service should be priced at a large premium IMO )

I would also add : tax incentive to keep lodging energy efficient ( heat pump, insulation, yada yada )

Just to get a single data point from a canadien resident : what do you think of outlaws AC in malls and shop that do not keep the cold air inside?
Side note: I think it's going to be really interesting how governments decide to respond to rising oceans / temps (think places like Miami, Manhattan, any coastal city at sea level).

Seems like there's 2 options:

1) Encourage people to migrate to other cities and essentially "give up" on saving the city

2) Spend a lot of money trying to fortify existing cities

I'm guessing it will start with #2 (technically it's already happening) and then eventually we'll get to #1 but only when the situation is truly dire after which it becomes a politically favorable philosophy.

And then the question is how long do we think it will take for #1 to happen (assuming it will happen in the first place). 1-2 decades? Half a century? Multiple centuries?

There must be some contrarian billionaires out there buying up tons of land in undeveloped areas with a multi-decade idea that the land will 100x in value if/when mass migrations occur. That said, I would guess that most easily habitable areas of the US are already pretty well built up. Maybe what's more likely to happen to migration to suburbs and eventually to rural areas, until those areas are in such demand that the suburbs become metros and rural becomes suburbs.

> Generative AI doesn't fit very well into Apple's hardware centric philosophy.

I think it fits pretty well since Apple controls almost 100% of their stack. If they need hardware specific tweaks to make AI models run better, they can do that. On M* Macs for example, the unified memory model lets them do a number of AI tasks even with the lower powered GPU.
Knowing how safe Apple likes to play and how unsolved the legal side of input data is I doubt Apple will build anything like ChatGPT but I can see them building LMs for iPhone. Even Tesla switched to LM for their self driving software
I mean, figure something out?

Didn't Sam want to create UBI? That's one way!
Kinda agree with this. It seems like every company is hard at work building their vision of an AI future, but no one can get the present right. Integration of current GPT-level intelligence could do so much to improve reminders, scheduling, calendar management, email sorting, web browsing, app installs, general UI navigation and tons more, but they all just want to build better chatbots and train larger models and chase AGI.

Gzip fails at audio and video compression IIRC?

Are time-domain signals better compressed with A/V codecs (compression-decompression); and does this gzip finding suggest that other compression algorithms likely to outperform LLMs at certain tasks like computational complexity, at least?
OP will soon be ranking for the exact phrase he discusses.

(If we discuss “a comprehensive ecosystem of open-source software for big data management” enough, perhaps we can get this thread to rank too.)
The main goal is to create an all-in-one secret management platform that targets developers and not just platform/security engineers (following the security shift left). Infisical is one platform where you can securely store your secrets, automatically sync them to 3rd party tools, continuously monitor code and prevent secret leaks, etc. We have more exciting features coming very soon.

On top of that, we heard over and over again that HCP Vault is too complicated for developers to set up and maintain. One of the goals of Infisical is to provide similar levels of security at a reduced learning curve. Because of that, we invested a lot of effort in the developer experience in order to make everything more intuitive for developers when compared to Vault.

You should try and let me know what you think.
I recognise the frustration; weirdly, for me I get all the errors with Alexa, and almost none with Siri, but the near daily experience of "Alexa, Küche auf" "Ich kann nicht 'Küche' auf Spotify finden" when we don't even have Spotify means I totally empathise.

I would love to know the personal motivations and moral feelings of those who work on features like this. Are they naive about how these features will be used? Do they not care? Do they not have a personal sense of responsibility for contributing to the end of open, free computing? It's been a while since I took a Big Tech paycheck, but I don't remember being this willing to go build nightmare tech when I was getting one.
I agree with all this except:

>happy to pay a bit extra for the compute, it could be "premium siri"

Siri is heavily embedded in the ecosystem, yet has bitterly under delivered for far too long. Many improvements should have been made absent access to an LLM.

Apple should provide this behavior out of the box, and figure out how to make the costs work without additional subscriptions.
I wonder how prison conditions then compared to today, particularly in the UK. I imagine it was a lot worse.
>AKA as long as you don't give control to the user.

A system being secure doesn't mean that the user doesn't have control. The operating system should allow the user to control it, but only in a secure way that doesn't compromise the rest of the security of the system. The Windows way of having an administrator account or Linux of having a root account given to the user has been proven over time to be worse for security. Windows has been trying to roll back this mistake, but most Linux distributions don't do anything because they don't care that much about security compared to an operating system like Android.
