That doesn’t sound right. For all of human history bullies who were bigger and stronger made the rules. The weak were ostracized. If anything, what you’re doing in homeschooling is reverting away from the norm and creating a sheltered environment. This is a double edged sword, you can turn your kids into fragile beings incapable of dealing with a harsh world but at the same time they will probably have productive, predictable and carefree childhoods.

The best case scenario is to be rich enough so you can create a bubble for your kids that lasts from birth all the way to their graves. It’s very possible, all the wealthiest people do it.
What made you draw that conclusion?

I made the point that the metric used (raw number of tests) is a bad way to enforce a good goal (higher code quality). I also made the point that metrics aren’t inherently bad, but they have to be chosen judiciously.

You seemed to take those two points and extrapolate an entirely different story as a personal affront and apply motives that, frankly, reads as a bit unhinged. So i also hope we don’t cross paths, because in safety critical code development where I come from where bad practices and toxic teammates can kill people.
Not Linux related, but I've been trying trying recent (at least to me..) C-64 accessories:

I've tried the "Kung Fu Flash"- it's a software defined cartridge that is cheap- just a single STM32 and can do pretty much everything. I bought this because I'm trying to duplicate the developer experience I see on "8-bit show and tell"- it can emulate the "super snapshot", but not the REU. It's a really nice way to quickly try a lot of C-64 software and games.

https://github.com/KimJorgensen/KungFuFlash

I also have an SD2IEC: what I've learned is that it would have been useful to get a variant with an extra DIN socket. It's nice but I was never a fan of C-64's DOS and this reinforces it. To mount a D64 disk image you have to: OPEN1,8,15,"CD:MYIMAGE.D64":CLOSE1... yuck..

JiffyDOS (replacement ROM for the C-64) improves this (it's faster and includes a permanent DOS wedge), I bought one- it's on the way. I'm curious to try it with the real 1541 drive.

What got me started on this recently is the "Penultimate +2" cartridge for the VIC-20:

In this case, I basically bought a VIC-20 just to try out the cartridge.
Sure, but that's an argument about scale not about fundamental limitations of the architecture.

The OP is saying the LLM approach can't be intelligent. Not even if you add more parameters, more RAM, more scale.

You're saying that an LLM might be able to do what you can do if we make the matrices bigger. That's a different claim.

Of course, the real trick, and I think it's clear this is the missing step, is that LLM training can read a thousand page book and embed that knowledge into the weights. So what you want to do is take some of the prompt input, and use it to update the weights in the model (or the LORA, or the fine-tuning, or whatever), not just the context. That's not how LLMs are working today. It's not clear to me that we're so many steps away from that being something we can do though.
Two Erlang patterns I love
Personal observation.

1/3 of my network is not going back to the office with their current employer. They got rid of their leases and invested in infrastructure to support remote work for the next decade.

Another 1/3 are a mix of wfh and hybrid, with the wfh group already being notified they should expect to be hybrid in the near feature (my wife included).

The last group was already given the order to return to office or get fired, some did but some remain defiant, this includes a couple of friends from Amazon thousands of miles from Seattle who are expecting to be axed any day now, although it may never happen.

So I believe at the end about half of my network will be wfh permanently.

That seems to me like a critical mass to trigger a "revolution".

How could anyone stay at their current job having to commute to an office knowing half of the people they know don't do that?

This is like being ok at your current job when they don't offer something as basic as health insurance or PTO.

I would be constantly looking for a new job that allows wfh and eventually I will find it.

> but it still seems to improbable/outlandish that such complex structures could be created just by natural selection, even with billions of years of time.

probably thats why Life is not abundant in the universe, as far as we can see even in the Solar system.
I would have loved to see an alternative future in which the open SPARC architecture (you can still get a license to build your own SPARC chips at sparc.org) kickstarted a similar development as the IBM PC did (unintentionally) a decade earlier.

Ideally this would have coincided with a Sun/Apple/NeXT merger so we would all use OpenSTEP for Solaris on open SPARC systems today :).

Well, we got something similar with the ARM Macs - though not really open for other manufacturers (at least you can install other OSes on the ARM Macs). The ARM Macs could be considered the last remaining Unix workstations - though Apple unfortunately tries really hard to hide more and more of macOS' Unix roots.
My experience is that is it obvious from code that who did't used Pycharm. My colleagues use JupyterLab as best, mostly vim, and their code quality is underwhelming. Open their code in Pycharm, immediately see red highlights everywhere: They can't see any of those syntax and type errors in vim.

Full search or replacement has never been easiler after I shifted my workflow to Pycharm. Of course same thing can be done in the terminal, by typing 800 time `cd A/somewhere; vi something`. Why make life harder when tools are accessible?
> They’re probably irked by how AI pessimists keep moving the goalposts

Then

> It confuses me how people don’t understand that moving the goalposts can be a coping mechanism.

And I said (rephrasing)

"It's not weird that people are annoyed by moving goalposts because ... "

Just saying coping mechanism isn't much of an excuse. Regular human things are still annoying sometimes. Like, it's annoying to set a goal, and when it is achieved, to have everyone say that really wasn't the goal, even if that is a normal human thing to do. When I deal with this at work, it pisses me off. When I deal with it at home, it pisses me off. When I read about it in the news. it ... you get the idea.
Yeah, so technically a Turing machine has infinite memory.. so no real-world computer is fully Turing complete.
How do we know that?

Don't get me wrong, this is an impressive feat—that sometimes crashes into firetrucks.

Until they stop crashing into firetrucks, which are rather large, bright red, and pretty hard to crash into, the idea that they are going to be better than most drivers is speculation.
> Just because cells are too complicated to fully simulate doesn’t mean they don’t have behavior that could be described as if/then logic

We are very, very far from really understanding how everything actually works, though.
If reality is actually the schroedinger equation, then you are just matrix multiplication in a for loop
Is it good that children get bullied or ostracized? Obviously not. It is far preferable however to the alternative of never having experienced that humans can act like this. We're sometimes assholes to each other for poor animalistic reasons, and that's probably not going away in my lifetime. One should be prepared for other people to act like this.

> Why should it be tolerated when it happens in school, where the victims have no choice but to attend every day?

Since it's where they go to learn that this behaviour exists but is bad. You need to have lighter sanctions in order to teach people about behaviour without ruining their lives in the process.
This looks really nice. I couldn't tell from the repo or website whether it supports the ollama api?

Hopefully you realise how lucky you are, and that your situation is the exception in the USA rather than the standard.
A good friend has two children, one with fairly severe autism and one with extra-strong interpersonal skills. They both go to the same school, but the kid with autism gets special care, including specialized teachers working with him. This is certainly not to say you are wrong! Rather, it's to point out the vast differences between one public school and another.

I have to remind myself sometimes that, even though my public school experience was pretty solid, I had a lot of things working in my favor, like living in a solidly middle-class liberal suburb, having access to lots of honors and AP classes and having several brilliant (and over-qualified) teachers in some departments. Most Americans do not get anything close to such a sweet deal out of their public schools.
Ask HN: What GNOME Shell extensions do you use?
I personally use Blur my Shell and Ubuntu AppIndicator, I use BmS mostly for asthetics, and Ubuntu AppIndicator because `pkill`ing Discord has the tendency to not start at all.
If you weren’t bullied growing up then maybe we can find some for you now, as you seem to be advocating this for kids.
Thank you for creating this! I’ve been looking for an alternative to Jekyll locally, while also sticking to the Jekyll repo format to use with GitHub Pages. (Because the repo format is good enough, and trying to migrate to Hugo was a nightmare on each of the three attempts I made several months apart.)
Ok but I’d rather my kids have be raised understanding and influenced by their parent’s perspective so that they will influence society along those similarly into adulthood.
"I see from your resume that you're more of a maintenance programmer, but we really need people who can hit the ground running, banging out new huge kernel modules. Maybe you could assist them, by writing unit tests, and fetching their coffee, so they can focus on the challenging new stuff?"

Is "new stuff" easier work than maintaining old stuff? I always thought it was the other way around. I always give greenfield stuff to the juniors. They fuck it up I fix it. It's basically like using chatgpt.
Face and iris are additional options. I'd be shocked if there weren't more than those in production at this point.

You know what's really trivial? Buying a fake ID.
Definitely not advocating for bullying, just pointing out that you can’t harken back to antiquity and call homeschooling a continuation of that paradigm in this particular sense.
CalDAV is where the money is
Balloon (2018) is really well done. Even though I had already seen the old Disney movie, Night Crossing (1982), the new movie was still suspenseful.
I won't be held hostage by asocial freaks who piss and moan when they don't get their way. Let's democratic republic these people into the prison they so yearn for, you may join them if you want.
Could replace `eval` in a namespace?
It gets more interesting if one does not accept the analytical/tracking cookies: the user gets thrown ouf of the website and is redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_planetariums

Which I think is very rude of a scientifically inclined website hosted in the .org domain zone to deny knowledge to the general public as a retaliation to the user to reject to be tracked. If they are really that strapped for cash, they could have rendered the message differently at the very least.
In Netherlands they did the exact same thing and then reverted to walkable cities.

It's not the only choice and it has lots of bad consequences.

And I'd argue most citizens were never asked about it, it was decided for them by zoning laws and planning commitees in both countries.
It's a straightforward description of lived experience. The only "intent" I see is to tell us of the curriculum that was pressed upon the author.
Capitalism is altruism.
Not 100% sure, but I support his channel on Patreon so I theoretically have access to all his content. And on Patreon only one video shows up for "Quantum Derivative" and his approximately the same upload date as the video linked here. Looking at the run-time and the thumbnails, etc. I think they are the same video.

Maybe he releases his "members only" content to the public after some time delay? Or maybe it was an oversight? Not sure.
Map territory distinction -- what they are looking for (strong engineers regardless of stack) and what the role is (a description of what you'll be doing) are two different things. Find your way to doing and articulating impactful projects that use technology to measurably create leverage and value for the business, and you will be fine. Of course, that can be easier said than done.
Kurt Vonnegut wrote this story in 1961:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron
To explain why this isn't a solution to the AI in a box problem:

You have a halting AI. During training it learns enough about people and external resources to convince a human to take its output and store it somewhere. In subsequent conversations, the AI asks "have we talked about this before?", and maybe "can you retrieve the value I gave you for this key?".

Now it has created a memory, which would allow it to form new concepts, and continue reasoning from those concepts. It would no longer be limited by concepts in the training set, and the computational limit before it halts. It would be able to start thinking from the stored concepts as a starting point.
Similar to how humans use symbols and abstraction to think about complicated things. We don't reason all the way through at once; we toy with an idea until we understand it, then start new thoughts from the symbol for that concept, not the content.

Consider a new process defined by the continuous feedback loop from the AI accessing the memory through the human. There's no reason to think that process eventually halts.
Maybe your public school experience was mostly decent, but for a lot of people it's hell and it actively breeds misanthropy. You can learn to deal with stupid and difficult people without being exposed to soul poisoning doses of both.
I have two slots installed correctly. The bandwidth tool in AUR reports ~20-35 GB/s for sequential reads (although weird spikes of 70 gb/s) i.e. which is consistent with memtest86's ~25 GB/s (the discrepancy can be explained away by memtest probably not using AVX instructions). Writes seem a lot better at ~58 GB/s bypassing cache.

That's still a large discrepancy though where I'm typically 30% away from the nominal speed.
That might be a bit harder to sync up, but would probably be worth it, especially if it showed the lyrics on screen. Plus this is using spotify's song previews to get the audio, which may not be the part of the song you want.

I especially want this to be a thing, because it took me far too long to remember that the song "queeblo - Whopper and a Forty" wasn't called "5:45", that's just the time mentioned in the hook.
Without offering anything to anybody trying to characterize "intelligence," I do like silly languages. FRACTRAN is integer×rational multiplication in a double for-loop. Not an exact match, but if you work in a factorized representation, I think you can massage the integer×rational into a matrix multiplication.
My team manages several static sites. They're each hundreds/thousands of pages in size. Here's why we like faster builds.

* Fast builds are way more pleasant during development. "Incremental" per-article builds help, but not in all scenarios. Nothing kills my motivation faster than having to wait 30 seconds to preview a fix.

* Fast builds help us avoid jams in our automated push-live systems. Sometimes we have many editors updating pages during a big event. You could consider many different trade-offs when deciding how to manage these queues. But a fast build time erases a lot of those conversations.

We use 11ty on most of our sites. We've found 11ty itself to be fairly performant. The slugs tend to be everything related to processing assets: JavaScript bundles, Sass builds, image manipulation, etc. By streamlining those activities, we can usually get a site build down to just a few seconds.

That said, "instant build" is the dream that animates the best conversations on our team, and we've started building our own static site generator. Our SSG can run both on the server and in the browser. We want our editors in our CMS to be able to get instant, true previews of the page they're editing. Then we want to be able to push single-article builds live, instead of always rebuilding the whole site. It's early days yet. Maybe you'll see it on a "Show HN" some day.
I think Google is exploring other options as well, such as Rust. Carbon is a more aggressive experiment with higher risks. They've been very clear about Carbon's experimental status and that users should consider using Rust or something else instead of Carbon if they can use the one right now.
> Within our lifetimes, books with every person in town's name, number, and address used to be delivered to everyone's home.

And our opinions towards that changed precisely because some people started abusing that data to do targeting (and adversarial discrimination), exploiting scale, and the whole thing got out of hand.
Agreed. It would be great if the hardware was more affordable/accessible as well. That's potentially a barrier to entry worth addressing for devs who might otherwise be interested in tackling the problem, but don't have the quality eye tracking hardware to start. A Tobii-like hardware devkit could be a starting point.
It’s not Musk’s responsibility to fix societal problems, it’s the government’s. He sucks as a person but the companies he’s in charge of are quite useful and I’m happy they exist. I’m watching my government fail every single day at addressing basic issues like homelessness despite near infinite money. They would fail at fast satellite internet and electric cars too.
> Solbourne was the first to market in 1989 with multiprocessing SPARC servers

Soon after was the Cray S-MP multiprocessing SPARC server: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_S-MP

(I was lucky to get to use the S-MP to "port" some product to it. They also had the matrix coprocessor there, which was much more parallel.)

Both Solbourne's and Cray's multiprocessing SPARC servers were before Sun's own `sun4m` products, IIRC.
> I wish more focus were put on how someone would fit in a team, and what both the existing team and the hire would bring to one another.

Management doesn't want to and doesn't have the skills to do this work.
That’s the entire thing! He read an account of a city so many miles away from where he was that on a specific day of the year had no shadows at noon. On that day in his city, shadows still were cast. If there was no discrepancies in the shadows that would make sense for a flat earth. But the discrepancy made him determine it had to be sphere and then he went out and calculated the circumference.
Think about it like work. A low level manager or individual contributor may be able to greatly change trajectory and outcomes for their small team but is unlikely to change anything for an entire global organization and the bureaucracy that comes with it. With enough successes at a low level then maybe those get recognized and the effects begin to trickle up. Or maybe not but at least you did the best you could for what you were directly responsible for.
Why down vote? I've had instances yanked. It sucks. No fraud, willing to pay, not abusing services.

I've read about lots of other users who have as well. Can't exactly poll their users.

Other providers have been fine for me.
Adhawk, adhawk.io, has the only all day ultralight eye tracking wearable I'm aware of, all MEMS based with ultra high scan rates, 500Hz+ and research grade accuracy. For ALS u likely need something light and frictionless, wearing a hot and heavy headset all day probably doesn't work.
I'm a little surprised that AI is the best way to approach this, as opposed to some kind of transpiler. I'd be more inclined to trust the latter for correctness.
Bald eagles are not even close to endangered.
I've been working on the menuing side [1] based on crossing Fitt's Law with Huffman trees. But, don't know the constraints for ALS.

Hopefully, whomever takes this on doesn't take the standard Accessibility approach, which is adding an extra layer of complexity on an existing UI.

A good friend, Gordon Fuller, found out he was going blind. So, he co-founded one of the first VR startups in the 90's. Why? For wayfinding.

What we came up with is a concept of Universal design. Start over from first principles. Seeing Gordon use an Accessible UI is painful to watch, it takes three times as many steps to navigate and confirm. So, what is the factor? 0.3 X?

Imagine if we could refactor all apps with a LLM, and then couple it with an auto compete menu. Within that menu is personal history of all your past transversals.

What would be the result? A 10X? Would my sister in a wheelchair be able to use it? Would love to find out!

You should be able to boost that up to 128k. Once there you have a solid chance of being able to run Fuzix on it.

Start there and you’ll find a rabbit hole of reasonable depth.

In Houston, where I used to live, that is totally cool and legal and allowed. If there are concerns, too bad. I can’t definitely say that it made life worse or better, as I didn’t live there for long enough as an adult to make an informed decision.

So if you want the answer to that question look to Houston - it’s one of the very few places in the world that you can actually ask that question and get an answer back that is based on real world boots on the ground experience of a land without zoning
