Hypertune integration available for low latency experimentation
Yes that's why I find it amazing. Such range and diversity of cultures yet any time I read up on any place in Europe it seems that many countries are like the others not big on small talk. I agree it's generalizing and from thin data but who knows it may be true or somewhat accurate.
Our eyeballs are not cameras and have way more depth info from their function than just two arrays of pixels that you can derive parallax from, and all the claims that "humans only use their eyes" fundamentally ignore all the other parts we use, up to and including an intrinsic simulation of physics in our brain.
Then sort by New or Old instead of by Best or Top.
Yeah that's somewhere between a 5km and 10km run. If you're in shape to pick up and do that once a week, you're in better shape than most people and so it's not really a surprise that such people have lower cardiovascular mortality.
Check out LLMStack (https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack). It allows you to build LLM apps and chatbots and provides you with an API for integration.

It should be possible to write a simple script to link LLMStack's app with your IRC channel. API documentation for running the apps is at https://llmstack.ai/docs/apis/introduction#apps. Let me know if you need help with this.

I think the earth can probably continue to support a few more billion humans, although obviously I'm no expert.

I also have a possibly unwarranted faith in humanity's ability to develop new technologies which enable large numbers of humans to live in the planet.

From what I understand, the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture came.about when humans hunted large game to extinction. Humans might be a bit more adaptable than rats

(Life) Advice From The Creator of C++ [video]
The creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup, shares some valuable life advice that, let’s face it, all developers, no matter their years of experience could use. According to Bjarne, ‘You can’t just do code’, you need to develop more skills if you want to be a well-rounded successful developer. Watch this unreleased interview if you want some inspiration and guidance on your developer journey from one of the OGs.
This was expected. Two of the largest economies in the BRICS are not on friendly terms, have very little in common (historically and culturally) and have ongoing contentious issues over territory.

So you're saying she was playing a character for her book? That's impossible.
There’s an app for this [0,1]. It follows the calendar and shows you the current season, it’s haiku, seasonal foods, etc. It’s free to view the current season, but you can pay (one-time) to access to the entire calendar. The company that makes it [2] publishes a book as well, though last I checked, it was only in Japanese. They also have an app [3,4] for Nara, showcasing local activities in the area during each microseason.

Are these copilots essentially all the same underlying model, but with various configurations creating a different prompt for the model? And to create your own, you configure it based on your project specs? Just making sure I understand what's happening. If so, it's kind of a cool and "simple" solution to making a model work better. Simple in quotes because nothing in software is actually simple, but the idea is.

Very YC compatible advice.
It might work in 2024, or 2025, if the market improves, though.
It's super local for sure. I doubt this one even applies effectively to all of japan. I found out about this a long time ago and have used it as a loose structure for coming up with my own similar thing based on my own area and observations.

But at this level of granularity moving a couple hundred miles north/south or a thousand feet in elevation is enough to shift a lot of it around, both in timing and in most notable plant and animal life at the transitions.

It's really more of a years-long exercise in observation, record keeping, poetry, and sense of place. I doubt there's a pre-made one that works as is for anyone.
Is that an unreasonable expectation for a multi-billion dollar firm with a proportional legal department that regularly ignites explosives on public property?

Unquote "enormous", plz.

There was some recent study which concluded that if all (externalized) costs to society were folded into the price of products, then basically all fossil-fuel enterprises would be unprofitable.

That's not even comparing against alternatives. Just [benefits - costs] expressed in $.

Of course one could argue a lot about the details of such a study. But... here we are in '23 with oil companies raking in record profits. And using those to pay dividend to shareholders + infrastructure investments to keep oil & gas flowing even longer. As opposed to investing that windfall into speeding up sustainable energy transition.

That's a 'bit' of a discrepancy, to put it mildly.

Only glimmer of hope I spotted is that exploration for new oil fields seems to be slowing down. In laymans terms: known reserves are big enough given CO2 budgets imposed by various climate accords. No need to explore eg. the Arctic any further.

Expect a lot of currently known fossil reserves to remain in the ground, even if (ignoring externalized costs) pumping those up would appear profitable.
Is this supposed to be an argument? Some sort of elitism about public transit?
Get a normal, fully-clothed, completely SFW, maybe face-only shot of your target. Paste it into facial-image-similarity search engine that also supports constraining the output using text, and make the text "hardcore blah blah blah". If, as you assume, there are in fact hardcore blah blah blah images out there that look like they're of the target, the image search will find them.

A search engine that does something like that doesn't seem too hard to build and will probably come along sometime... especially if the availability of images that you can't search for by pure text has created demand.

In fact, it doesn't seem too farfetched for somebody to build a purely text-prompted image searcher that can accept "looks like $target" as part of the search string, and have it go find a picture of the face, then combine that with the rest of the query text. Again, if the images are out there, it'll find them.

Not only do the images being out there create demand for the search system, but the search system then creates demand for people to compete in producing and publishing the "best" images. So you might very well find that the skill level for finding the images was even lower than the skill level for prompting them. And of course the shared images would automatically be visible to the target, as would a lot of link sharing and commmenting activity.

Pretty much any publicly visible woman, and many publicly visible men, would end up being able to search for their own name and find a bunch of people sharing and talking about obvious fake images of them.

Sharing the images really does have different consequences than just generating them, even if you don't put names on them.

Also, I don't think there's any functional difference between allowing an image to be tagged as "Princess Leia" or "Hermione Granger" and allowing that image to be tagged as "Carrie Fisher" or "Emma Watson". That just means that the character name becomes a widely known, thinly veiled code for the actress name.

I don't know what to do here, but I'm pretty convinced the particular line you want to draw doesn't make sense.
Not only that, the built-in connection network that developed over hundreds of millions of years from untold trillions of organisms.
Is this just Malthus? While it makes sense, the people predicting this have been wrong for 200 years now. Sure this might be the time they're finally right but it has a bad track record.

Similarly, are up-votes expressing agreement or do they indicate something worth reading (opposite of thd topic/trolling/unhelpful)?

Some comments can go yo-yo, but I don't think it is possible to see the two counts separately.
Some of this has to do with Google pushing sites like geeksforgeeks above more helpful blogs.

Advantages, Lua is old and simple so implementing it was a breeze. Disadvantage, I kept running into scenarios where oop made more sense and extending an interface. I could have done that through convention, but it’s not for me. I need to “enforce” the interface more than just a try catch. That led me to Python. Which also worked and suited that need for interface contracts but it introduced new problems. How can I enforce memory guards and sandboxing and execute parallel Python contexts? I ran into road blocks and gave Otto a try as it’s written in go, I would have more luck making the necessary changes if I needed a feature.
> Yet again, a Canadian (thinks he) knows more about other countries' affairs than his own.

Yeah there's a story there.

Plus their apparent belief in having mind reading abilities is disturbing.
The existence of cap and trade and emissions trading schemes prove there's greater interest in profiting off climate change than mitigating the effects.
> Philosophy of mind. It is impossible to create an artificial version of something that we cannot yet define

Not true. It's a genuine fear of mine that we will create artificial consciousness without knowing we've done so, and doom countless minds to endless suffering before we realize the err.

I think, with regard to AGI, like a lot of A.I. research, implementation will come before explanation.
I've made it a personal rule for a while now, that I generally won't touch production once it is "online" ... I'll work initial setup, but after that, I'm happy to be on a screen sharing session walking someone else through what to do, so I don't have access and cannot touch it directly. Usually in favor of a CI/CD pipeline that will do regular releases. This at least lowers risk, but doesn't strictly prevent a DROP in a db/migration script.

All the same, I don't touch prod servers, and especially don't touch client prod servers.
The reading experience of the authors obsession of using caps in huge swaths of the writing was really offputting
If you booted anything but the OS that set up BitLocker, wouldn't the TPM refuse to release the key?
>There's dang's own idiosyncratic, controversial, unwritten exception to "Please submit the original source", i.e., unless it's a corporate PR.

I said it before and I'll say it again: this is a bad rule. People can read through the corporate bullshit themselves instead of having some "journalist" tell them what to think of it.
Lead dev here. Yup, that's right. There are a few classes that we will be forced to implement in Go. We're fixated on keeping this number as low as possible, but Thread is one that is inescapable. Class is another inescapable one--if we're to support reflection, etc.
No, because that allows one person to double down on negativity - it can turn something grey and detract from the comment, both of which then bias future readers to read it negatively.

I'd go the other way - disallow downvoting if you comment, and disallow comments if you downvoted. You get one choice of how to indicate that you don't feel the comment is correct.

Admittedly, teaching people not to downvote just for disagreement would be better. Personally, I downvote a ton, but never for disagreement - I downvote for exactly the reasons I see in the guidelines: non-substantive comments. Or, admittedly, I also downvote people who are just being a jerk.
What you are saying is certainly true.

However, the problem is that in order to get your SUV classified as a 'light truck' in the US, and benefit from regulatory loopholes, certain features are pretty much banned. Some of them impact the safety, especially of pedestrians.

Btw, I'm not so much worried about the safety of my own car (especially since I don't own one), but rather the safety of other people's cars for cyclist, pedestrians and other cars.

(I don't live in the US either, I just bring up their regulatory environment as an example.)
OTOH they can be patched and to exploit them locally you either need software code exec or do a physical side-channel attack which is miles beyond a simple bus snooping.
In the context of a static site generator, you'd usually render all those entities with a markdown processor + syntax highlighter anyway.
That's all well and good, but it's still just taking the company's word for it. For something like this to be really useful, the claims at least need to be validated by some trustworthy group.
I create things to express my own feelings, for my own satisfaction in the act of creation. Nobody else can do that for me, including an AI. So far I just share with people I know, and AI won't make that more difficult.
Great, four minutes of two fellas philosophically spinning their wheels.

> The trade-offs are as bad as the solution, quite often.

Embarrassing. This overgeneralization is so broad you could pass the US national debt through it sideways. It’s perfectly fine to take a subject matter, say lock downs or climate change, and talk in concrete terms about the trade-offs of different proposed solutions. But as presented here, it’s just noise that undermines public discourse.

> You’re not gonna solve anything

> There are no solutions. There just aren’t.

Reductive and cynical generalization. We solve things all the time. Yes, every solution in the practical world has trade-offs. Yes, some solutions are worse than others. But the insinuation that solutions are and have to be perfect is false. Is he suggesting that we should just do nothing because we’re fallible, mortal beings incapable of perfection? Another quote comes to mind: Perfect is the enemy of good.

> What we’re reducing politics to is series of one-trick pony shows

> there’s a crisis here, and it’s the only thing we’ll talk about

He knows full well governments balance a wide assortment of issues at any given time. However, as severity increases, it bubbles up chain of leadership to a group that has the mandate, resources, and experience to address the crisis. When you have lots of crises in play, you have to rely on an efficient executive to prioritize your responses and manage those resources. That can lead to bottlenecks, and when it comes to government, that can damage people in many ways.

Today, we’re faced with a lot of severe crises that often play off one another. Talking about our governments’ ability to effectively and efficiently address problems at the scale they are affecting us is one thing, but the proximity of these two statements (whether he intended it or not) read as a handwavy dismissal of public or political reactions to climate change and lock downs as gimmicks.

> I’m not conservative

Disagree, I’ve read your substack.

> I have some conservative views, some not-conservative views

Population growth is slowing and is forecast to stop later this century. Obviously there is still the change for a cataclysmic event but it seems overblown.
Prokaryotes are archaea. The nature of the difference between their cell walls and other single cell organisms is not fully explored, and whether they formed from convergent evolution or not is still up for debate: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudopeptidoglycan
I think the problem is that SNNs aren't suited to standard von neuman architecture. I'm in total agreement. That amount of power and compute thrown at language models, and ML in general is shocking relative to the capabilities. For GPT4, it's staggering. Probably on the order of KWHs in power alone for basic tasks.

I think a properly modeled architecture would look something like the actor model represented in hardware, where each actor is basically a small extremely power efficient cpu but unfortunately you wouldn't be able to pull that off the shelf.
> Most people have only a vague understanding of ITAR and EAR. I have actually made the same mistake of writing a job posting that required applicants to be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, excluding refugees and asylum seekers, but HR caught it.

I would expect that most people wouldn’t be too familiar with the ins and outs of “who we can hire”, and that that knowledge would often be concentrated in a compliance unit or units (likely in HR and Legal, at least) that would be primarily responsible.

I do think its a pretty big deal, though, if those compliance units aren’t doing their jobs.
It’s not just ego. It’s accelerationism. Giving this stuff away from free is probably going to accelerate AI a decade faster than if it was kept locked up behind closed doors at Google, OpenAI, etc. And if you’re an optimist then that actually might make the world a better place much faster.
Ah. Which is probably what happened to me as I've signed into my MS account.
Came to say just this. The linked article and the paper rest of the same false assumptions that Malthus made.

It will simply move to a higher level of abstraction.

Remind me, how many programmers today are writing in assembly?
> it's destructive to the notion of "introduce a coordinate system" because now the phenomena you're describing messes with the coordinate system you picked to describe it!

That's the whole point of GR - coordinate systems aren't physically meaningful.
And when those break down and the owner doesn't fix it?

Self driving cars will require regular and stringent inspections of functionality, otherwise it's a time bomb.

GNU radio has all the bits to do signal processing from raw analog data to symbols to bytes.

For example, I can use my SDR to record various signals in my neighborhood, make a guess that it's manchester encoded, then pass that signal to a symbol demodulaor, pass the symbols through a manchester decoder, then on to a protocol decoder (IIRC my tires have batteries and transmitters to send their pressure level to my car). GNU radio has bits for all these steps, but yeah, you kind of need to know the modulation schema and the codec scheme to make sense of it.

Here's a nice example:

Ehrlich's "The Population Bomb" from the 70s has given this sort of thing a bad name.

The problem is that there is absolutely zero doubt that the fundamentals are correct: there are limits to the population the earth can support and our population is still growing at a crazy rate (even if the growth is decelerating a bit).

The dilemma is that we don't know what the limits are. Every previous attempt to calculate or predict them has failed in significant ways.

So while it seems right to raise the alarm, it also seems hard to take any actual prediction seriously. I think we're likely better off with approaches that don't stress the (potential) crash. Emphasize that we have plenty of people already for us all to lead a wonderful life, and maybe we could just get to steady state because that will bring us all lots of benefits, whether the crash is 25 or 25,000 years away.
Not the parent but there are several high quality native (meaning no CGO) Lua implementations for Go and it's a great choice if you want an embedded scripting language:

https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua

https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua

Unless you specifically need a JVM either of these will be a much more practical and mature choice for embedded scripting.

Alternatively if you prefer JS then Otto is a good choice:

Any commonality?
Things like web-components for example.
Yes comrade, for example we could get rid of these stories about these “start up companies,” they are clearly capitalism extremists pushing their political viewpoints.

Jokes aside, I think it is hard to moderate too strictly on the topic of “no politics” without enforcing a particular political viewpoint, because we tend to see politics we like as normal, and politics we don’t like as politics.
Acid rain was so-mitigated, was it not?
I don't know about front to back, a good module should be explicit on what it affects and _ideally_ abstract its implementation.
We were talking about what a module should aim to be, and that aim is a good proxy for a lot of properties of well architected applications, even when not perfected. And even when you don't plan to ever throw the module out.
