Both is a problem. It's just that, as a dev, you're less likely to see code with massive amounts of duplication because any mediocre developer understands why this is bad.

However, work with really bad (or just extremely inexperienced) devs and/or people who are not primarily coders (e.g. data scientists), and you'll see a lot of under-engineering to the point that it's almost impossible to figure out what the code is actually doing (especially when it's coupled with random code that is inserted without understanding, just because it makes things work somehow, at least on the dev's machine).
Well if we don’t have Data several months after ChatGPT, clearly we should shut it all down.

Yes, trademark proceedings take similarity and likelihood of confusion into account.

I'm not sure Hashicorp have a trademark here, but the names are awfully close. Think of the pronunciation: I am sure in plenty of localations the words are pronounced identically, let alone very similarly.

Yea, It was surprising how many years after that the perfect spec developer station was a Pentium Pro, Mach 64 graphics card, monochrome card with mono monitor for WinICE, and of course Windows NT 4.0.
> it's because the users are so dependent on the systems that they don't even have the simplest of skills to prevent catastrophe.

One pilot was pushing full nose down. The other full nose up. The system _did_ tell them that they were doing this, but in the sea of other alarms, it didn't register with them.

The lack of alarm prioritization and the lack of crew resource management training in the face of an emergency seem like the major human factors here. Half of that is in the design of the plane, the other half in how the company trains their pilots to handle severe emergencies.
There are ARM processors where bits in the branch instructions encode whether they should be predicted as taken or not. So on such architectures such hints can be useful. On x86-64, however, they are afaik completely useless (from an optimization perspective).
I think this is one of the main important things about vim. The longer it exists , the longer it will. It has outlived so many modern text editors. I hope that it lives on as long as I live and longer.

Eye Control SDK for Mobile App
From the web site:
"Athena’s AI software empowers developers to integrate Eye Control into any iOS application
Eye Control allows people to use their eyes to swipe, scroll and navigate on mobile devices. Athena’s SDK unlocks a powerful new tool for developers to build more accessible, immersive, and engaging user experiences."

Has anyone tried it out?

You don't have to lend out your badge for it to 'check in' without you. This is a software problem with many solutions.
Unfortunately this doesn’t work for websites.

It also doesn’t work when you use Search to open apps (e.g. swipe down, type “y”, tap on the YouTube app icon that appears — I open most apps that way), or when you swipe through recently opened apps.
Nobody said anything about Magic.

>There is no magic here at the lowest level – you can interrogate the math at each step and it'll make sense.

See that's the thing. You can't unless "making sense" has lost all meaning.

That you can see a bunch of signals firing or matrices being multiplied does not mean they "make sense" or are meaningful to you. Lol level gibberish is still gibberish.

Our ability to divine the purpose of activations of anything but the extremely small scale is atrocious.

I probably fall in the middle. We can only make statements about what's more or less probable by getting insight into what exists beyond our perception, but by definition we can't perceive what's beyond our perception so we have no data to determine which is more or less likely. Either position is one of faith, not logic. For that matter, trusting that logic is sound is itself a position of faith.

Hofstadter in GEB refers to positions like these as "axioms": statements that are impossible to formally prove within a particular system but from which we can derive statements that follow from those axioms through rules (the most fundamental of which are themselves axioms, like the statement in geometry that two points make a line) governing symbolic manipulation within a particular system. I like the concept and find it useful for wrangling logic and philosophy although I also note that it is itself subject to accepting certain axioms.
Nebula is fantastic, absolute love it. We use it in production. Cert management can be a bit of a pain on a large scale but there's an excellent Terraform provider [0] that can help.

Both approaches have value. Sometimes you want the journey, sometimes you want the destination.

The problem comes when people assume those things have the same value. Maybe I don't want to spend the next ten or fifteen years learning and meticulously honing skills in multiple artistic disciplines to the point of mastery just to get a picture I could probably get in an hour with the right prompt and some filters. Maybe I just want the dopamine hit, or I find the process of seeing what the AI comes up with interesting on its own. But that still doesn't make me an artist of anywhere near the caliber of a real professional.

Hopefully this comes across as tough love, rather than meanness... but you're just going to have to take some risks. If you can't, you won't succeed. And if you think building a business will mostly be fulfilling because it's developing tech, you need to realize you are suffering from the Coffee Shop Fallacy. It's going to be even more of a grind than your current position - just different, answering angry customer support, finding ways people try to scam you, dealing with ad accounts and SEO and taxes and payroll.

If you are unable or unwilling to make a mindset shift, stick with your day job because you are just seeing the greener side of the pasture.

Now, if you can see the opportunity and want to take the risk - then go for it. But you can't be as risk-afraid as you sound in these messages.

"batch compiled from scratch"

OTOH, most usage of Common Lisp is compiled, often by an incremental in-image compiler

Typically Lisp IDEs have features like Edit Callers and/or List Callers. I would

1) "Edit Callers" -> this walks me through all functions which use this function, I change the functions and I can edit/compile them

2) When I'm done, I use "Undefine Function", which then undefines the function from the running Lisp.

I guess I just view it as a really bad precedent to set. The government isn't doing this on the behalf of the general population, it is doing it on the behalf of greedy newstertainment hacks that want more money in a desperate attempt to save their outmoded lifestyle.

There's obviously some content the government should be involved with, like inciting violence. Usually that comes with a direct penalty to the government, in the form of a fine (the effectiveness of which is up for debate), not in the form of compelling speech AND paying a private org for the pleasure of doing it.

It's not justice, it's protectionism. Which is gross. Here in America we do similar shit, and it's just as gross here. We only have car dealerships at all due to protectionism, because it'd put them outta business if people could buy all the cars directly.

NetMaker: Connect Everything with a WireGuard VPN
JIT is completely separate issue entirely. I'm not talking about C++ vs Java here. I'm talking about the designs of different assembly languages.

I'm talking about Intel Itanium (ia64) vs AMD x86-64. Or VLIW (compiler-driven parallelism) vs Out-of-Order pipelined processors.

Intel Itanium had "premade bundles". Without getting into too far into the weeds, *the compiler* was responsible for discovering parallelism. The compiler then bundled instructions together

So think of this code:

theLoop:
mov ebx, eax[ecx] ; y = array[x]
add ebx, edx ; y += z
add ecx, 4
cmp ecx,
jnz theLoop

The Itanium Assembly language would allow the compiler to emit:

mov ebx, eax[ecx] ;
add ebx, edx : add ecx, 4; // This line executed in parallel
cmp ecx;
jnz theLoop

The compiler discovers that "add ebx, edx : add ecx, 4" are both independent, and therefore "bundles" them together. Intel Itanium then ran faster and without as much need of a decoder to discover this information ahead of time.

But look at how few optimizations are available to Itanium or its compiler!! The amount of parallelism in practice (for classic x86 code) was much bigger, especially when you consider Tomasulo's Algorithm.
It's not a reference, it's just a really neat game mechanic. Normally the high score is guarded by the game and changes only if the game deems it fit to change it. In this game, because the high score is accessible within the game and you can execute arbitrary instructions, you can use that to modify the high score.

It's as if in a more normal game the high score was kept in a big chest somewhere in the game world and once discovered you can start messing with the contents of it all within the rules of the world itself.
You are right: unlike modern platforms with vertex shading capabilities, the geometry pipeline runs entirely on the CPU and GTE. The GPU is a "black box" that operates exclusively in screen space and only gets access to transformed X/Y coordinates, which is also why it cannot calculate the depth of each pixel and use it to apply perspective correction to projected textures [1].

Exactly, this was the scary part for me. First time I've ever seen a public emotional frenzy escalate to a point where the majority agreed to suspend due process, for things that could have been prosecuted normally
>I think the confusion here is "in space", maybe you can expand on that. Is space itself not the medium?

I think using that definition is fine! I tried to talk about things positioned in space directly instead of using a notion of medium because that word comes with a lot of imagery, and it can make discussion difficult, it's easy to talk past each other when we start using words that don't have a very well settled definition

I was originally responding to a formulation where the medium is defined as something "present in a vacuum" that allows propagation of things. This is where imprecise language creates trouble, and why I don't like that word. You can say space is the medium, but you can't say space is a thing present in the vacuum that allows propagation. Vacuum is located in space, there's not a very meaningful sense in which space is a medium found within vacuum that helps things propagate, or at least that definition of the word is not very helpful to my understanding of the world

For gravity, I'm okay with calling spacetime the medium, as long as you're careful to not imagine that there's some more ethereal thing within the vacuum that physics doesn't say anything about

>But any medium is just the means by which something occurs or happens

That's fine. That's not an invalid definition. I just think it's important to separate the concept of a physical medium from more philosophical notions that everything happens in a medium, even if that sometimes means defining the word medium as an immaterial concept whose existence makes people question the definition of the word "exist".

In response to the original post, that definition of a medium inside the vacuum is something that doesn't exist. With your definition of space as the medium for gravity, you can make that work, as long as you can communicate what you really mean to other people when using that particular word!
1983 called. Ada would like a word.
I worked for quite a long time at Amazon. All of the horror stories are true. With tenure, you learn that other tenured employees are the most toxic. The longer someone has lasted at Amazon, the more focussed they are on performance documentation, pushing work onto others, blaming others for project failures, and protecting all of their deliverables. Any sort of innovation or quality of work comes second. This is why the company is stagnating. Many many people sitting in the same organization/same level for a decade.
I'd be hesitant to compare these. The aircraft still operated as designed. It detected that the input data was bad and turned the automation off. The pilot flying just didn't seem to grasp what that means.

Most Tesla Autopilot failures aren't drivers that don't know how to drive, it's the automation making bad inputs.

The issue is that if the legal and tax incentives are skewed to liquidate the company rather than save it then people will naturally have that preference. I worry that is not great for the working class in this country.
Microsoft has largely stopped giving a fuck about piracy of their consumer products.

py-kms is freely available on GitHub, and so are Windows Activation Tools.

While arguably py-kms doesn’t violate anything, as it’s a cleanroom implementation of the KMS server, Windows Activation Tools definitely does.

Either way, MS could eradicate all of those repositories, they aren’t doing it.
GPL is an open-source license, and MIT-licensed software is free software.

The difference between free software and open-source is a matter of marketing. Open-source is a way of presenting free software to businesses and investors. Free software is an unabashedly political movement, openly concerned first and foremost with the public good. But the licenses themselves and the software itself, those things are identical.
Sounds like a good reason to have more stop and checks.
Oxide (https://oxide.computer) uses Illumos, which is based on OpenSolaris.

How about tic-tac-toe (noughts and crosses for those in the Old Dart)? Currently GPT-4 is terrible at it!

Sure, you could trivially program a game-specific AI to be capable of winning or forcing a draw every time. The trick is to have a general AI which has not seen the game before (in its training set) be able to pick up and learn the game after a couple of tries.

This is a task any 5 year old can easily do!
> Species are currently going extinct at a rate orders magnitude greater than the historical average

Nobody has a good idea how many species there are currently, let alone how many there were in the past and how many of them went extinct. Estimates for the current species count are from 3 to 100 million[0], which is a range too wide to be useful in this context.

Of the mass extinction events in Earth's history, we may be peeking above the baseline rate[1]; the most severe statement we can make is that vertebrate mammals don't appear to be doing very well in recent times, which stands to reason, considering that Homo sapiens is by far the most competitive vertebrate mammal, doing a good job of crowding others out. But there's a lot of life and biodiversity outside of vertebrate mammals.

Honestly, part of the mistake is also on Dubois. When flying as a team, it is essential to establish hierarchy and make sure who has authority. As the one with the lesser number of hours, Bonin should have been relegated in favor of Robert. That being said, hierarchy should not be as much of an obstacle that the one in authority disregards the suggestions of the copilot.
Funny that it includes the hammock :)
AFAICT this is an incomplete first draft?

As others have said, skipping over the entire era of classic AI in the LISP/Prolog era from SHRDLU to Scripts, Plans, Goals, and Understanding, is an egregious ommission.

Also,I don't immediately find a discussion of either multi-agent coordination or multi-modal ML models.
The issue isn't over or under engineering by these definitions. A good solution needs to satisfy both all requirements, some of which may be clear from the onset and some of which need to be discovered. The issue is how one handles unknown requirements. So often people either guess what unkown requirements will be (which is how this piece defines over-engineering), or ignore them (which is how this piece defines under-engineering). You should be doing neither. Instead you should be decoupling your known from your unknown requirements so that you are agnostic to what solutions need to be implemented down the road. You don't need things that can handle problems you don't have, but you need to be able to easily rip out and replace parts of your solution as they become inadequate. You don't need to handle every edge case, you need to design things to fail safely by default. You don't need to hold off on making decisions until you have information, you need to make decisions you'll be happy with no matter what information you receive later. A robust solution can still be quite lean.

IME, during congestion, there aren't cars with no cars in front of them, and if there, there isn’t a way for them to get into the next lane without coming near a dead stop first.

In fact, if neither of those conditions apply, that alone is a pretty good sign that there's not particularly significant congestion.

Llama 2 uncensored vs. GPT3.5 benchmarking
I think its well established that young children need at least 11-12 hours of sleep a night (depending on age). That would mean bedtime (or asleep by) 6:30pm the night before. These natural requirements don't fit well with societal norms.

I've noticed huge changes in my mood and the mood of my children when we get enough sleep. In my experience their meltdowns/tantrums (and mine as an adult) are either related to lack of sleep or hunger.

Sleep deprivation is a real problem that many may not realize until they get into the rhythm of healthy sleep.
I don't think saying "humans pass and AI doesn't" makes any sense here because the two are not even taking the same exam for all the points outlined above.
