Soros’s fellow Hungarian Jew Imre Kertész, survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald and Nobel Prize for Literature laureate, said that he sometimes looked back on the death camps and recalled the moments of happiness he experienced there. It’s [spoiler warning] the climactic moment of his most acclaimed book. For Jews, living through the Holocaust brought some paradoxical emotions, which ultimately serve as proof that the human spirit is indomitable even in the darkest times.

Yet another garbage study where “researchers” wasted months of their lives evaluating GPT 3.5 instead of paying $20 to evaluate GPT 4.

It’s like drinking the complementary table water at a restaurant and then leaving a one-star review saying “tasteless and flat”.

I do think prompt engineering is a new industry, and your experience (if you actually good) will translate will into future jobs.

In my opinion it has to be combined with engineering to be competitive in a commercial sense.
Looking at the state of society, I think things are already fixing themselves. While the media, and partisans, continue to try to push 'left' vs 'right' divisions as hard as they possibly can, the reality is that the true divide in society is becoming much more like anti-establishment vs pro-establishment.

And 'establishment' is not a proxy for class or anything of the sort, but for a bucket of various "values" like: coercion vs persuasion, censorship, geopolitics > all, forever wars, ideological conformity, and so on. And it seems to me that anti-establishment is growing rapidly. And it's not just an America thing, but happening all over the world at the same time.

I don't think anybody can predict where this will lead, other than somewhere different. And given the way things are currently headed, it's hard to imagine that being a bad idea.

You'll be fine as long as it isn't your main skill. It should be just one of many things in a toolbelt. This is because as LLMs get more accessible, the importance of prompt engineering should fade away into just another chore.
It didn't really match the modern definition of emulator. AKA, something that takes raw machine code and implements all the IO capabilities of the target device.

Instead, Paul Allen's emulator worked at the code source level, and was implemented as a macros for the assembler. This wasn't even an 8080 assembler, it was a PDP-10 assembler and they created a bunch of macros to output the proper bytes for 8080 machine code.

For PDP-10 mode, they switched to a different set of macros, that took the same source code but for each 8080 instruction, it generated one or more PDP-10 to replicated the behaviour of 8080. The source code also replaced the IO code with native PDP-10 IO routines. This gives you a PDP-10 binary that you can run as normal.

I'm sure Paul Allen could have written an 8080 machine code interpreter if he wanted to; It's really not that hard to make an emulator of a single CPU with limited IO, especially when the instructions are all documented. But the goal wasn't to emulate other people's 8080 binaries, the goal was to quickly create a programming environment to target the 8080 platform.

No. An invalid pointer can point to literally anything. Just because the pointer type says it points to T doesn't mean it really does.

A brief brush with writing and using Python type hints
trying to elaborate on the OP a little by avoiding math terminology:

part 1 here is essentially the idea of logic circuits. you can write these down in terms of large vectors of 0s and 1s, and operations transforming them as large matrices -- which is useful because it takes familiar ideas (to a CS student) and casts it using mathematical formalisms that are later required for weird quantum stuff.

this could be unfamiliar if you haven't learned about matrix/vector multiplication. but ultimately it's just a different way of talking about combinations of AND/OR/NOT on truth values.

part 2 just says, go from vectors of 0s and 1s to probabilities between 0 and 1. the "L1 norm" (aka Manhattan or taxicab distance) in this situation just means that all the values together have to sum up to 1, the way probabilities do. this includes part 1 as a special case, and extends it naturally.

part 3 is indeed where the weird quantum stuff comes in. no easy explanation, you do have to get an idea of how complex numbers work. but again, the familiar logic circuits of part 1 are still a special case. the "L2 norm" for real numbers is just the regular straight-line distance -- I can't provide a good intuition for complex numbers though.
This is a great point—in terms of dynamic tables/materialized views, the software engineering best practices ie modularization, testing, version control are not as intuitive/straight-forward to apply in comparison to dbt and Serra. We can also add a direct SnowflakeDynamicTableWriter into our framework to work with the best of both worlds!
I feel like this might be the beginning of a much richer single player game genre that mixes generative language, image, texture, and other features with procedural rogue like world generation with the semantic features defined by the LLM. Obviously NPCs, dialogues, etc, can all be context aware agents bootstrapped by the environment and player history. Content creators IMO will be creating assets that are used to fine tune and create LoRas as future game assets. Instead of monotonously creating every asset in a game, they would create styles and control nets, language corpuses, and human written lore RAG’ing into game context, etc. I think artists will have a wonderful contribution much richer than simply painting a picture.

> C++ has been gradually back-porting Rust features,

I would hardly say that move semantics, or reusing temporary objects instead of deep copying them, is something invented by Rust.

Also, move semantics were introduced in C++ with C++11, which was in the works since the early 2000s. Rust first appeared in 2015. Are you actually trying to claim that C++ in 2011 specified in an international standard features that it back ported from a language that only saw the light of day in 2015?

> To make forward progress with the C++ model, you have to throw stuff out of the language.

No, not really. Mindlessly removing features only breaks backward compatibility with no reason. We have progress by offering improvements. It's up to the developer to manage how he manages their projects. Mindlessly breaking compatibility prevents that same developer from benefitting from improvements for no reason whatsoever.

> Many, many people, including me, have tried to make C/C++ safer without breaking backwards compatibility too much. It doesn't seem to be possible to do both. You have to disallow some things or the exercise is pointless.

This is an absurdly silly thing to say. It's a kin to complaining that making Rust safe is pointless because Rust still supports unsafe.

The density of black hole decrease by the inverse square of the mass of the black hole. That means massive black holes have a much lower density that small black holes. So they are more likely to form than small black holes. Dark matter will have played an important role in the creation of those early black holes. If there is no dark matter and some form of MOND theory of gravity is correct, the Schwarzschild formula will require a modification for large black holes. In that case galaxy centers will not require large masses to see the same effects.
Aren't we?
Worth pointing out that t.co has always been an instance of an annoying and seemingly unjustified practice I named "nonsemantic redirect". Rather than legitimately redirecting using an HTTP Location header, it instead is an HTML page with a META refresh tag on it.

You don't see this with curl/wget because they use user agent sniffing. If they don't think you're a browser they _will_ give you a Location header. To see it, capture a request in Firefox developer tools, right click on the request, copy as CURL. (May need to remove the Accept-Encoding tag and add -i to see the headers).

I think one can do an analogy with search engines.

I noticed that a lot of people are terrible with search engines. They would carefully try to craft a combination of keywords that they hope will answer their problem.

I have pretty much always been able to find the answers I need quickly, by using a few ideas I see not that many around me use, such as trying to imagine in what context the answer might be answered (what would be the title of a blog or forum post about it, etc), as well as searching for the exact error message if I got one etc.

Now, search engines have gotten a lot better over the last say 5-10 years, so this skill isn't as important anymore, but I remember how the ability to find things quickly was a real productivity booster.

I think something similar might happen with LLMs.

You will have a (probably much bigger) productivity boost by being great at leveraging them.

With time, the user interfacing tooling and general knowledge of them will get much better, so the relative benefit you have will grow smaller, but it will for sure always be useful to know how to use them well.

> But the GPL explicitly forbids you from forbidding that person who paid you from sharing the code.

Well, yes. That's the point after all - you took someone else's code, made changes to it, gave it to a third person, so now you can't very well tell that third person "Sorry, that code I gave you is now a secret!"

> If an employee works on a Linux driver that you'd prefer be a trade secret, those GPL imports are going to be a massive problem.

In theory, sure. In practice, it hasn't stopped any manufacturer from distributing binary blobs. Nvidia, with proprietary drivers, is still the most popular graphics card on Linux[1].

So here we see that there is no problem for a vendor to be wildly profitable and have the best penetration of all its competitors even though they are strictly adhering to the license.

If an employee is working on any Linux driver, your business is depending on the success of Linux itself to make that driver economically viable to develop.

If your success depends on building on GPL code and not giving back, then maybe try to find success elsewhere.

[1] IIRC, that is. I last checked the Steam stats a long time ago, they may have changed.
Definitely, I can jump into what we meant by brittle—we mainly meant that SQL scripts are hard to debug/undescriptive, you can't parametrize and customize error messages that you receive from transforms, and you can only execute one complete statement at a time that are often chained together with CTEs (which is a nightmare if its a statement of 400 lines of SQL). Python makes it easier to debug since we turn the approach from a declarative to a procedural one, and that's even the case with breakpoints when you write your actual transformers in Python.
You can read about Zapatistas, who ideologically are the closest to anarchist territory in practice. They have quite a bit higher standard of living then the rest of Chiapas, so it seems the experiment is successful.

A lot of people don't like liberalism anymore and because they think the only alternative on the left was Marxist-Leninism they slowly go in the direction of fascism. Anarchism is another direction.

Anarchist revolution wouldn't have leaders and it in theory wouldn't have to be violent - anarcho-syndycalists postulate that a general strike would be enough. Probably some violence would happen, especially from the state or fascist paramilitary groups but who knows.

Anarchist main strategy is prefiguration, so create spaces that are anarchist in nature and grow them from there, show as many people they don't need a state or private property or if you are a communist a money too.

However, "on average, each recording in the collection is only accessed by one researcher per month" seems to me like a dishonest way to present the data. Surely surely there are one or a few recordings in the project that are vastly more popular than others. That's always how it goes. So "on average" completely obscures how popular the most popular ones might be.
