> Einstein literally rewrote the formula for “add two velocities together”.

No, he didn't. There's a reason we are talking about the Lorentz transformation, not the Einstein transformation.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lorentz_transformat...

> In physics, analogous transformations have been introduced by Voigt (1887) related to an incompressible medium, and by Heaviside (1888), Thomson (1889), Searle (1896) and Lorentz (1892, 1895) who analyzed Maxwell's equations. They were completed by Larmor (1897, 1900) and Lorentz (1899, 1904), and brought into their modern form by Poincaré (1905) who gave the transformation the name of Lorentz.[3] Eventually, Einstein (1905) showed in his development of special relativity that the transformations follow from the principle of relativity and constant light speed alone by modifying the traditional concepts of space and time, without requiring a mechanical aether in contradistinction to Lorentz and Poincaré.[4] Minkowski (1907–1908) used them to argue that space and time are inseparably connected as spacetime.

Einstein did great work, no doubt. But his work was still a product of his time, and was 'in the air'. If it hadn't been for Einstein, other people would have made similar discoveries soon. They were already in the process, after all.

However I suspect, it would have probably taken several great scientists and a few more years.

Hierarchical Quality of Service (HQoS) uses a hierarchical queue scheduling mechanism to ensure the bandwidth of different services for users in the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model. Conventional QoS performs one-level traffic scheduling. A single port can differentiate only services but not users. HQoS implements hierarchical scheduling based on multiple levels of queues, and differentiates traffic of different users and services to provide refined QoS guarantee.

Personally I don't think that's what makes a code "good". All code will get out of date with time. As with everything in this world. Doesn't mean that they are not good. My old gas stove doesn't have the bells and whistles that newer ones does. But it was a really good engineered product that have lasted for decades. It's really well documented so it's easy to do maintenance. It's also well understood by people.

Many people will say that an induction stove is better in safety, convenience and many more. But a gas stove still has its own place.

Just because the kernel code doesn't use the latest "best practices" doesn't mean it's bad. It could be due to many reasons from performance, compatibility, etc. Software is so easy to update anyway compared to other things that I'd bet there's more "good" software than "good" anything else.

Visceral violent hate of 'heretics' and 'pagans' has less to do with Western civilization and more to do with human nature's propension to identify with a tribe and consider everyone outside the tribe as a threat until proven otherwise.

That propension didn't appear randomly either, it is the result of millenias of hard lessons learned where those outside tribes were indeed threats.

That learned behavior still dictates our actions today, except for some of us, the notion of "tribe" has been enlarged to include a vast number of people, or, for the most idealistic, the entire planet.

Your first-hand perspective is valuable here. Thanks for pitching in where you’re an actual “expert”.
The Sony Ericson phone being in Bond is not the same as a phone review saying "you should buy this". I understand your general complaint, but I think here the FTC is basically trying to establish a line for the most egregious levels of "native" advertising that isn't being disclosed.

For what it's worth I have often seen stuff in credits pointing out what companies have provided things for a show on TV ("nobody watches the credits" well I do so your point is actually empirically false! Though I understand).

I think with this entire topic there are many knobs that can be turned. We might not have them set at the right level, and we can adjust. But it's totally not a binary thing. Though I would honestly be very up for much stricter disclosure rules on this point for things advertised to children.

My personal feeling is at one point in your life you learn that media is given access to stuff for advertising purposes, so every brand made visible is just "obviously" product placement. If there's an explicit endorsement really make it loud if it's an ad/all the conditions of the review. But I don't feel like watching Lydia Tar use a Macbook is really much of an endorsement of anything, and do not feel the need for this to be an ad (just like I don't need a disclaimer about Tar being an ad for the Berlin Philharmonic).
Is this “Apple silicon only” right now?
While I don't think this code is the best, these complaints are like disliking Shakespeare because his writing is archaic. Yeah, no shit.

Good writing is relative to the norms and expectations of the audience, which are other kernel developers in this case.

It’s written in an unsafe language.

So is every other mainstream kernel.

Double underscores everywhere, which are the bad alternative to namespaces seen in weak languages like C.

It's the designated way to avoid symbol conflicts for system software. Cultural norms.

Constants defined with lowercase and not actually marked as const.

There aren't any constants in fs/file.c though? Do you mean the sysctls? Those are modifiable at runtime.

WTF does “BITBIT_NR(nr)” do!?

This is genuinely obscure without background knowledge. fs/file.c maintains a bitmap of bitmaps for performance optimization reasons, hence "bitbit". "nr" has been a standard abbreviation in this part of the kernel for decades.

Abbreviations everywhere: ofdr, nfdt, fds, fs, etc…

Terse identifiers are just a cultural norm in kernel code. old file descriptor table, new file descriptor table, file descriptors, filesystem, etc...

Then there is a long-winded explanation of how they pack bits into an array of longs. Okay, why not make this a reusable module of code? Because C is a weak language, or because the Linux kernel is spaghetti with a dozen implementations of bit maps?

Because this code is actually very tricky, performance sensitive, and basically unique in the kernel. The kernel has many things that could be de-duplicated, but I'm confident someone's tried refactoring this and failed for some reason or another, probably performance.

Sorry… did I just see a data race just casually commented as “okay because it is faster if it’s horrifically unsafe?

You're seeing one of the many design tradeoffs that are made to get good performance in the real world. The VFS code this file is part of is one of the most performance-critical components in the kernel and gets involved with all the other filesystem operations that happen, which on a unix system is essentially everything. The code (and cache footprint) are smaller if the safety burden is pushed off to other people here, which is more important than maintaining an ideal interface.

This is some of the most battle-tested code in the world. It's fine if you don't want to modify it, but it's solid code that people have literally bet their lives on given the mildly terrifying use of Linux in safety-critical systems.
His relatively young death was such a tragedy. Von Neumann's intellect really was superhuman.
> Will we ever know if NP can be reduced to P???

My opinion is that it cannot, due to the unbounded nature of NP problems[0]. Regarding sudoku specifically, the question is a bit more nuanced (as described here[1]).

As for the NP nature of sudoko in its general form, a short but very informative description can be found here[2].

By that do you just mean that no services are openly exposed on the system? To my understanding, if any vulnerable service is remotely exposed then it's not at all safe to use agent forwarding with the affected version of openssh.

An interesting bit of trivia is that Einstein explicitly did not get his Nobel for relativity. That was still considered too controversial at the time.

Another bit: at the time Einstein worked on Brownian motion the theory of atoms was still not entirely accepted by everyone. His worked helped settle the matter.
It’s specifically endorsement they care about. Reviewing can be an endorsement if you say what you liked about the product. A critique wouldn’t need an ad placement.

If you watch e.g. Masterchef, they are very coy with how they phrase their product placements. They don’t endorse, they say something like “X contestant will have no problem getting up to temp on their stove” as the camera pans over the logo. They don’t spend longer than maybe 3 seconds featuring it. As far as I can tell, TV and movies play by the same rules, they just know what boundaries to not cross.

Well, it's not really about finding a way to solve sudokus.

Nobody involved in this cares for that as a goal in itself.

It's about the mystery of why an LLM can't do it well.

It's about the challenge of finding a way (prompt) to get it to.

It's about what this reveals about the inner workings and limitations of an LLM.
Thank you. This is important to say, seriously. This kind of "pop psych" notion that you should just "forgive your parents" even if they abused you, definitely is retraumatizing and works to try diminish the impact of the abuse and your feelings about it. Which shouldn't be minimized, but processed, I think. Especially because, it seems a lot of times, people coming from that situation don't see how fucked up it was, because it was their only experience, and until they see how good parents behave they don't realize how poorly they were mistreated. I think this is why it's important to face it, and process it, rather than never understand or just "forgive".

BTW~~what kind of psychological process, thought do people you treat go through when they forgive really abusive people or behavior, people that meant to hurt them, with malice? How does forgiveness look like for the person going choosing it and what are the effects? Sorry, it's a big question! No probs if you don't want to or can't answer it! :)

It'll depend on what you've worked on, what you want to work on and how you present at interview.

If you've got 25 years specialised in some crackpot internal system that noone else cares about you may have a bad time. If you can obviously add value to whatever the company is currently worried about, it'll be fine.

There's some risk you'll be grilled on optimal hashtable design by a raw graduate who doesn't know the right answers. Some places expect you to write code using unfamiliar tooling while someone watches over your shoulder. There's a lot of nonsense in programming interviews. That's not very age dependent though, except in that you might remember a less absurd approach from last time around.
I'm not worried about dead mice; I'm worried about tampering. I would have hoped there'd be more guidance than "just look and see if anything looks weird". A determined threat actor can easily side-step that check with, for example, careful desoldering/resoldering technique.
That’s harsh. Showing up is demonstrably an action in the direction of making things right , apologising is not out of a pure disconnected entity, but out of a being with feelings, driven by them to do right. Perhaps if the story was different, he would have gotten the proper moralising tune, but that was his experience and that’s the tune he found appropriate. I don’t agree with his findings but that does not mean I question his intentions.
I highly highly highly recommend using something like Zeal for documentation viewing. It's so much faster to type in something and read docs than to google, no matter how fast your internet is. Though it's more limited to knowing what object you're looking for already

Funnily enough, I picked up the habit of using graves for my opening quotes from working with old Unix software like ELisp without any context. I think it's a fine practice, particularly when used as markup that's transformed into curly-quotes on the user-faceing side, and it's even seeped into my handwriting as exaggerated opening quotes. I'll still draw nice curly quotes or mirrored ticks when writing neatly, but for sloppy writing and markdown alike, I find the clear distinction between opening and closing delimiters to be more readable than using just single quotes. On this, reasonable minds may differ c:

Yep. In 2023 you cannot buy a copy of Mario Kart Wii and have the money go to the people who wrote, or even wrote the IP for the game anyways so it’s kind of a victimless crime. Obviously pirating a game you can still legally buy from the rights holder is a different story

This is rather trivial. The real challenge would be to make it choose what type to return. The function api does that, but then natural conversations sometimes involve calling multiple functions, and there isn't a good schema for that.
I recommend reading the theoretical work on the computational capabilities of Transformers: https://twitter.com/lambdaviking/status/1630581475425828864
References to other work can probably be found in that article.

Shameless plug to my own blogpost about this: https://blog.wtf.sg/posts/2023-02-03-the-new-xor-problem/

TL;DR: The theoretical class of problems that Transformers can solve (without Chain-of-Thought style responses) is fairly limited. Generally, universal approximation proofs rely on infinite precision assumptions, which are not practical in reality. Empirical results also show very limited capabilities when tested on certain formal languages.

In the Sudoku case, the problem-length is limited, so one could conceptually make a large enough model that could memorise all solutions to all possible combinations of permissible sudoku boards, which could then just access and read out the solutions.
I wish people see this more. It's so frustrating to see people pass judgement without even understanding the whole context. Maybe it's due to the lack of documentation sometimes. But many times it's just people not reading them.
