Like the Bill Nye/Ken Ham "debate" some years ago [0]. A bit painful for me to watch. A creationist would come away feeling quite vindicated after that one.

I think he wants to limit evaluations to the most frequent question types seen in the real world.
There's still a big difference between a system service binding to the port vs a random app binding to it.

Even on a phone (that's not a "server" in the traditional sense), e.g. listening on UDP port 5353 is needed to show up in mDNS.
There no doubt that writing a popular frameworks boosts your status which could make it easier to get a job at VC funded startups. Vercel hired the top devs working on React and the creator of svelte. Netlify hired the creator of solid.

Some rely on donations from companies that use their frameworks. Eg: Evan You (creator of Vue)
> It is not for criticizing; the first sentence of TFA says "accusing Russian soldiers of committing crimes in Ukraine." So, libel.

He shared a video of Russian troops committing crimes, in Ukraine. Which they are - both in that video and thousands of others besides. Truthful statements are not libel.
The benefit of debuggers is that you can run experiments on your program while it's running. You don't have to stop, add a new print, recompile, re-run, and do whatever steps were required to get to the point of the printf. As you inspect the data, you can further ask more questions of your program without having to start all over again.

These days, I refuse to start a new language if there is no debugger or IDE available for it. I did that in C using an Ubuntu server with only vim and makefiles all through college, and I'm never going back to that.

I tried web assembly the other day. I couldn't get a decent debugger environment running on it, so I abandoned it.
> The weakness of this study is we didn't follow up with people. We only knew if our candidates got hired, not how well they did after they were in the door, as employees.

That's not just a weakness, that invalidates the whole study.
That’s not the same thing. In the Erlang world, the machines are literally distributed - meaning they are meshed and talk to each other (share state, etc). It’s one of the big selling points of Render or Fly over say Heroku.
I would qualify this statement. For a competent auditing firm there are non-negotiables to attesting to your own firms compliance, and a discerning (prospective) customer who pays attention and knows how to read those reports can spot places where “you’re trying to get away with it”.

I’d much sooner agree that the flexibility is in implementation. As long as you can hit a control in a reasonable and articulable manner that can be measured and evidenced, you have much flexibility. I see that as the benefit of SOC2. Others see it as an issue.

To your point, last time I led a company through a SOC2 Type 1-2 engagement, we had some standards sourced from NIST that were ahead of industry for the time, and published NIST standards were an authority that the auditing firm was comfortable accepting as compensatory for a control that otherwise would have been absent or out of compliance. So that control was ultimately accepted as “No exceptions during the audit period, but see our notes annex”.

“Receives $X years” Is an idiomatic way of expressing prison terms. Same kind of thing as saying “20 to life”.
The only real complaint I have about Firefox on macOS is that fullscreening a video takes forever. Safari does it twice as fast and with a smooth animation instead of blanking the screen.

Otherwise I find the experience on Windows and Mac very similar.
No something that codes better than you will likely happen long before agi.

Also who said agi will replace humanity? That's speculative. More likely it will replace your job first.
Is there an easy way to play with these models, as someone who hasn't deployed them? I can download/compile llama.cpp, but I don't know which models to get/where to put them/how to run them, so if someone knows about some automated downloader along with some list of "best models", that would be very helpful.
"Deaths of despair" is a defined term that includes three causes of death: suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholic liver disease. 1991 was the largest spike in deaths of despair in human history and the whataboutism and borderline Holocaust revisionism of implying Hitler's genocide was primarily drug overdoses, alcoholic liver disease, or suicide (!) is morally abhorrent. You could have just looked up a term you didn't understand rather than rushing to argue, and in the process arguing that Hitler's victims killed themselves.
Reading this I wonder if a computer program falls under "any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof". Has it been established that a computer program can be a protection circumvention tool?
I made a jupyter notebook "llama2.ipynb" from the Karpathy project: https://github.com/rbitr/llama2.ipynb

I didn't do a pure python, mine uses numpy, and although I haven't benchmarked, it runs the stories15M model much faster than 1.3 tok/sec on my 2018 macbook. You should try swapping in numpy matrix multiplication, or @ (I actually don't know if that's native or part of another package) for matmul and see what changes.
It depends. IIRC chrome/chromium had support for video acceleration on linux long before Firefox. And had better support for WebRTC using pipewire on linux. OTOH chrome's support for native wayland lagged far behind Firefox.

Love is a choice, not a circumstance, and unconditional love is the strongest form of it. I choose to love you even if you stop having characteristics I like. I choose to love you regardless of any good or bad qualities you have. I love you because you are, but I'll even love you after you stop being (what else is grief?).

I don't know if you can understand it until you've received it. Until two years ago, I thought "love" itself was a lie we tell children to manipulate them into doing what we want, like Santa Claus.

But then somebody loved me. Somebody saw me, heard me, knew me, understood me. He found joy in my existence, often because of his own determination to do so, not because I was making it apparent.

He just loves me because I'm me and not him. If only one of us matters in this situation, from his perspective, it's me, not him. He wills my good for my sake, not his own, and even at his own expense.

You seem to be using "love" to mean something like "like a whole lot," and maybe that's why unconditionality doesn't make sense.

Love is an act of the will, not a response to a circumstance.
Being proprietary it can't be part of the Debian destribution, and the license might be problematic for other distros to include as well.
If the generative part moves entirely client side, then video calls could become extremely low bandwidth. You could basically stream just the audio of the conversation, and each person could still feel like they were still talking face to face through photo realistic avatars. I don’t how likely this is, but maybe it makes reliability so good that it’s a no brainer. You could probably not even look at your camera if you’re busy, but the other person will still feel like you’re looking at them the whole time.
My brother is so old I changed toners twice. Still no paper jams. Saw too many customers with HP printers with problems so stayed away from those.
The documentation is excellent.
One of worst failures/dropouts I saw at university were the guys smart enough to do entire high school without any significant effort (ie my roommate left books at school and aced it, in stark contrast with me).

Then they eventually reached subject on uni where some serious effort was required even from them, and many just couldn't get themselves through the suck. Unlike say me who was already used to put effort into getting through, and just increased it a bit when it mattered.
Yes, and empty shelves in the shops, and absence of salaries, joblessness. Maybe in the beginning some people really believed in the changes, but they quickly got disillusioned.

The thing is, under commies people were brainwashed that they live in the best country in the world. It wasn't some kind of evil dystopia with everybody suffering. Yes, they were poor, but they didn't know life outside do compare to understand their poverty. The state gave everybody the bare minimum to live. The state gave the clear direction and meaning of life.
Even now there are plenty of (older-ish) people who feel nostalgic about that times!

edit: I agree that in 00s the situation became better, but that's the point, that life in 2005 != 1994.
Ah yes it was Skype and not Teams, my bad.
> We know that everything is scarce

Now that's a very good point. That's the one thing that a free market is supposed to do - meet demand. Yet that's not happening reliably any more. Think hard about that.

Pretty bold thing to say to your potential clients. "You can always tell your employees not to use our product, but they won't listen to you."
It's nice if your employer foots the bill, but not worth going on your own dime imo. People who have been going for a while keepn coming back to see friends they've made over the years.

Also wanted to add:

> Seriously, are there really any unemployed? There are none

This is just blatantly false. There are more than enough unemployed in Belarus.

> Belarusian mentality is a peasant one, anyone who does not work hard can't be a member of society, so it just doesn't happen there.

No, it's not. You're wrong. I'm telling you this as a Belarusian.

This might be Łukašenka's mentality, but definitely not Belarusian. And the 2020 has shown clearly that Łukašenka does not represent us.
There is also interaction of different notes somewhere in the processing in the brain.

On speakers play a sine wave in the left channel and a sine wave of a slightly different frequency in the right channel. You'll hear a beat frequency due to the actual physical interaction of the two waves in the air.

Then do the same thing except using headphones with good isolation so each ear only hears one of the sine waves. You still hear a beat frequency even though the two waves are no longer interacting in their air.
Stargate is the perfect space scifi series, even better than starwars, startrek and the expanse. The best part of it is it takes part in our time and universe. Unfortunately, not many have even heard of it.

You still haven't answered whether you're advocating for improving or starving the NHS. Although if you're intent on shitting on the NHS as if it's intrinsically bad (regardless of budget), I would strongly suspect you are advocating for more private health care, and vote conservative.

Feel free to elaborate on what your common sense dictates as a solution.
I suspect that there are a lot of people with kids in school and various other use cases where color printing isn't really optional. (Though color laser isn't all that unreasonable these days.)
What most countries consider libel is free speech in the US, which is why the US standards for libel, especially against public figures, is higher than most other countries.

Specifically, the First Amendment protection of free speech (and the identical rules incorporated against the states by the 14th Amedment) are why, among other impacts:

(1) In the US, falsity is an element of libel, rather than truth being a defense (or, in some foreign jurisdictions, not even necessarily being defense always.)

(2) In the US, libel against public figures (either in general, or limited purpose public figures within the scope in which they are public figures), requires the plaintiff to prove actual malice on top of the elements of libel that apply in other cases.
I’ve been using inexpensive laser (monochrome) since 2010 and haven’t had to do any of this nonsense.

Sometimes I don’t even replace the toner when it complains; I just take toner out shake it and it keeps working (a bit lighter than usual)
A ton of history and literature has been basically wiped out over the centuries. That fact alone should make downloading media and storing it privately a natural right, just like monks copied writings in the middle ages to preserve them. Distribution is an entirely different topic.
Yep, the web used to be for distributing documents, but now it is becoming/has become more of an application VM [1]. But ActivityPub is a nice format for the document distribution use-case; it is a superset (in terms of features) of semantic HTML [2] and RSS and has higher level semantics (comment sections, profiles, etc) and no server-provided scripting nor styling.

I'll probably make myself an ass here because I can't help myself sometimes. But I have determined that we are being in a way shepherded like individual sheep to individual Shepards. One sheep per shepard. When in my youtube feed if I signal in my various ways that I like a kind of discussion I see more and more of it. It could be music or politics or anything really. Almost always it is reinforced.

Eventually I find my own interests being the only thing I see and whatever principles I have tend to float quickly to the top. And then at that point if the account is old enough all I see is things that piss me off and make me outraged.

But when I look outside the sun still shines, I can still hear ordinary people say I love you, or watch a young man take his granny by the arm and walk with her.

A long time ago higher learning was often exposure to things we didn't agree with at first. But how did we get to that conclusion before hand? We were not born with our ideas.

There is definitely a powder keg here. I know of a huge match to light it coming in less than 100 days and it was in the BBC video I posted. But it might not even be that.
Lots and lots, yes, but only really in strongly- statically-typed languages; I have hated Nixlang since the moment I first set eyes on it.
We should use a term like liberated rather than jailbroken. The phrasing leads to a conclusion about the behavior which isn't correct.
Hype for what? Can you specify for claritty? What is exactly being hyped and for what?. You can say LLMs are being hyped but, again, for what?

If you say LLMs are being hyped as AGI I would say that's false. Not many people are saying this.

If you're saying LLMs are being hyped for being able to at times produce remarkable nonrandom output then the hype is very very accurate.
Poor management from executives seems to be the norm.

- They insisted on launching even though it was explained that the system wasn't ready.

- Insisted on having a launch party when failure was expected.

As an experienced toki pona speaker, this list is amusing because most of this is either a pointless terrible idea or already valid and accepted - somehow with very little in between. I'll leave it to the next commenter to go point by point.
This sounds like a transposition[0] and translation error. The word "effective" has two meanings:

- Is strong enough to keep you from copying the thing

- Has the effect of keeping you from copying the thing

Congress intended the latter meaning and US courts adopted that. The first meaning would be self-defeating: once someone figured out how to break a copy protection system, it would no longer be effective, so you'd only be able to prosecute the first person to break the system.

If effective meant "is strong enough" I don't think DVD CSS would count because they specifically used export-grade encryption. The rule (part of ITAR, AFAIK) was that 40-bits was the max entropy you could have, specifically so the NSA could break foreign-operated encryption systems. But this is kind of silly - computers are getting faster all the time, so it seems odd that a measure considered copy protection yesterday would stop being copy protection today just because we can crack passwords faster.

[0] Transposition is the concept of copying EU regulations into member state law. I'm using the term slightly broader than EU law. While WTO rules don't have a direct transposition requirement, USTR conditioned lots of trade deals on transposing DMCA 1201 into local law.
Isn't this just because the majority of us are not attuned to things that in fact do work remarkably well and it's only when they don't it feels like "nothing works"?

e.g. plumbing in large cities is amazing it's the most thankless thing that we've ever invented (along with dentistry and requesting information seamlessly from across the planet in a couple of microseconds)
I'm talking about his companies. Read why everyone is worried that CFO of Tesla quit a week ago. He was basically running the company.

As for Elon being public... yeah. This is what we're discussing. He's very public and it's very embarrassing. Has been for along time.
If you make enough money you can insulate yourself from most of these issues by hiring a personal assistant.

Also, keep in mind - as bad as things are today - they are still better than ever in human history.
> I am not required to take seriously the concern that people who "don't share your language" "make life more difficult".

Of course you are. It’s a social problem that is so recurrent that it’s literally in the Bible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel. Disunity and a diversity of languages was God’s punishment for humanity’s hubris.

> Coping with, and eventually prospering from the complexities of other people is part of building a western-style free society.

This is an empty assertion. How does “coping” with “complexity” result in “profit?” Does America seem to you like a country that’s on a good track as a result of the “complexity” caused by immigration?

> If this is an elaborate rhetorical ploy to get me to say that American culture is superior to that of the rest of the world in this regard, you needn't have been so coy, because I'm happy to come out and say it.

I get you think American culture is better. I’m blown away that you think the American approach is a moral imperative.

> You can decode a lot of our political differences to my lack of contempt for American culture and civic values.

My contempt is for the version of American culture that was manufactured in the 20th century to create a moral justification for globalization. That certainly wasn’t the sentiment of the framers, who rooted their theory of society and government in the history and tradition of the English. Even though the founding documents tackle cultural diversity as a matter of necessity—among different subgroups of English-you don’t see that “complexity” being framed as a positive thing.

I think the “culture and civic values” you’re referring to reflects a minority of Americans even today. Of course, half the country voted for Donald Trump. Among the other half, there are many who prefer to live in cultural enclaves. Bangladeshis in Queens aren’t thinking that what their blocks need is more non-Bangladeshis.

By contrast, what is a fundamental American civic value is self governance. And mass immigration fatally jeopardizes that. You can’t have real, bottom-up democracy where large swaths of the population lack generational experience in democracy, or are insecurely rooted in this country and will vote for whoever promises them support and services. That’s a recipe for oligarchy.
Yes, some things are scarce.

Relatively.

One of the problems with our markets today is that we allow corporations to get to the size where a problem for them becomes a problem for everyone. It's one of the reasons we have monopoly laws in the first place, and we really need to think about amending them. Unless your market is brand new, you probably shouldn't own more than 25% of it, for everyone's sake.
> He happened to criticize the ineptitude of the Russian military too loudly.

Girkin had criticized the military for over a year, and suffered no consequences. He is said to have protectors among the security services. His troubles started only this summer just after he demanded a new president for Russia, someone other than Putin – in Russia you can criticize the boyars, but you can’t ever call for the tsar’s removal.
This is true. The better you're at networking and building relationships the easier it gets in almost every domain of life. There's a point at which when you have enough connections and relationships you'll likely never need to write another motivation letter. You can just leverage your network.

As a long-time Firefox user (or rather, LibreWolf and Mull now) the biggest problem as I see it is websites that no longer support it. Compatibility is constantly getting worse as Chrome/Blink monopolises web dev and testing.

I'm considering writing letters to some of the sites that have the biggest issues and raising it as an issue.

Otherwise, Firefox is mostly fine. I have a few gripes with it and Moz are mismanaging their projects, but desktop Linux is hardly their #1 issue.
Yes. It's an interesting area, irrespective of implementation language.

I had tried out one or two Java-based RDBMSes back in the day, via programs written in Java, for fun.

I think one was HSQLDB.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSQLDB

There was also another interesting one called PointBase, which was developed by Bruce Scott, an Oracle founder, and others.

Of course it has nothing to do with productivity. But these people demanding rto are anything but “elites”.
It's not fucking theft. That is a literally insane and irrational position to take.
Thanks for sharing this! It's great to have a reference implementation written on java lang. With given original simplicity it's really easy to follow llama architecture logic.

Just in case if anyone interested in Python version, I spend some time on weekend and ported it to pure python -- https://github.com/tairov/llama2.py

I never knew that it would take about 500 lines of core part code to implement inference for such a cutting edge AI technology.
