Updates? Installing games? For our last LAN I brought a machine with LanCache[0] installed and mildly warmed up. I convinced the host to finally unpack his new switch with SFP+, connected a DAC and had the host point the DNS to that machine.

Having a bunch of people install cached games at GbE speed all at once, on a 100MBit/s internet line, was pretty nice :)

Obviously with 10GbE this is limited by disk speed. But a minimal Linux can buffer a few games in 64GB of main memory.

I had it cache Steam, Epic, Riot, Blizzard and Windows Update. The cache was warmed at home over night, based on our list of "games we might play". Though Steam was limited to games I owned.

(But yeah, I totally get what you did and would do the same!)
Read the first couple of paragraphs, realized I have no idea what DSLs are or why I should care about them.

Define your abbreviations, people, especially when its not the first hit when googling it. It's not that hard and makes your writing much more accessible.
JavaScript wasn't really a DSL though was it? Not in the sense of this article. Brendan Eich was hired to embed Scheme into Netscape Navigator. That's not the same as the kind of crippled templating languages this article is discussing.
> GPT4 is expensive to run, even more expensive to finetune

GPT4 can't even be finetuned at the moment (though I expect that to change).
There's some on the Wikipedia page

e.g.

> In 2021, six activists associated with the environmental protest organisation Extinction Rebellion were tried for causing criminal damage to the British headquarters of the multinational oil company Royal Dutch Shell. The judge told the jury that there was 'no defence in law' for the protestors' actions, which according to the prosecutor had caused 'significant damage' to the building, but the activists were acquitted
Well, we can recognise danger calls in birds, usually repeated sharp "chip" sounds. Going beyond that we start assuming that some organised signals correspond to our ideas of communication. I tend to doubt it. If there is something more complex it may be very different to what we are used to.
The comparison of sharing movies to hiding Jews from nazis is one of the most blatantly historical false equivalencies I’ve ever seen.
Awesome. I remember being mildly obsessed with LAN parties when I was at uni, about the same time this house was built. My friend was working (and living) in an old office for a boat warehouse, so there were plenty of desks, power outlets and sleeping space available. We'd bring our laptops and mostly play older games. Good times.
Llama, when the loss fell.
DSLs are often the advanced step to a programmer guaranteeing his future employment:

1) don't document

2) obfuscate

3) pick obscure language

4) implement with your own language

I will grant that the most succinct representation of a problem is a DSL, but DSLs are inherent obfuscation to some degree.

Just because a perfect mathematical representation exists doesn't mean anyone besides the author will understand it inherently
They want to be lisp SOOO BAD! =)
Ecdysiast == stripper

Hetaera == prostitute/escort

Where did you find these odd words!?

It seems like Ecydysiast for one is a facetious term invented by H.L. Mencken and barely ever used since.
I was keeping track of the good ones, and don't have many notes on the bad ones.

I do remember testing "LoKuS" last week and it was quite terrible (sometimes gave completely off-topic answers). It scored as one of the highest 13B models on the leaderboard (~65 average), but appears to be removed now.
That's a great point, didn't think about that!
Ah yes it does sign on macOS.

I don't think it's quite FUD, but I do agree none of these are strictly necessary, all can be rationalised as unnecessary and for many users this project probably provides a perfectly reasonable security posture. However the fact that there's so little explicit acknowledgement of the security concerns, and that 2 minutes looking at the repo turned these things up, suggests that security is not a priority of the project. Again, not the wrong thing to do, but maybe not the trade-offs all users will want.

Pinning actions is so low effort/high reward that even the low risk makes it worth it for a project like this in my opinion. Official actions are certainly much safer, but ultimately it's still just human review and PRs being merged.

Downloading over TLS negates some impact of hash/signing verification, but it would be a nice extra layer. You're otherwise putting a lot of trust in the combination of DNS+CDN+Hosting. I've seen hijacked sites due to IPs being re-used on cloud providers for example. Unlikely, but again easy to do and high impact in the rare situation that is is taken advantage of.

Yarn dependencies may be carefully chosen, I'm not familiar with the VSCode practices. I bet that official binaries however are not built like this – I'd bet that there are allowances for specific network connectivity and binary execution, and that everything else is locked down. To my knowledge GitHub Actions have open internet access. I wouldn't even say this is low risk either, the NPM ecosystem is so deeply nested that I'm sure malicious code could be snuck in somewhere. This is a lot harder to solve for this project, and certainly the most debatable aspect as to whether it's worth it or not.
Chinchilla’s death
I think you have some misunderstanding about how anti-discrimination laws actually work.

Others probably have more expertise than me, but I would highlight the following points:

1) The only way such a lawsuit would be successful is if he actually did something to indicate some decision was based off of caste.

2) Everyone can already be sued based off of attributes they have inherited against their will. People can be sued for discriminating against the opposite (or even the same!) gender, people can be sued for discriminating on the basis of race. Your son didn't choose to get born Indian, but he could still be sued for promoting Indians over Hispanics or something.

3) It is not only higher caste Hindus that can be sued for caste discrimination if that's a protected status. A manager of no religion or any religion could also be theoretically sued for discriminating against low-caste Hindus--or descendants of Japanese butchers, which, to my knowledge, constitute a low caste in Japan.
Well let’s not forget the importance of being able to sue. You use free software without warranty there is nobody to sue.
My sister worked in urology. She could smell bladder cancer. She would collect the sample, catch a whiff, recognize the sharp scent, and then confirmation from the lab. She never told patients, but she would tell the doctor, "that one has cancer." It is wild that she can do that; they have dogs that do it.

Similarly, a human smell factoid is humans are more sensitive to the smell of petrichor (fresh rain on a dry area) than sharks are to blood!
Author is arguing that parsed DSLs are worse than embedded DSLs, and he's not wrong pe se - if you have a choice, you should choose parsod DSLs 99% of the time.

However, this is not at all an argument against DSLs. Using a "real" language to specify the cloud infrastructure, you'd still want your API to be declarative and ergonomic, i.e. you'd want a DSL.
What specific DSLs are you talking about being failures? Because this is absolutely ludicrous claim.
I'm not sure what you're arguing, but I don't think its true that the claim "we want to secede because of injustices against us" was retroactive.

see: https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declarati...

"The people of the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, on the 26th day of April, A.D., 1852, declared that the frequent violations of the Constitution of the United States, by the Federal Government, and its encroachments upon the reserved rights of the States, fully justified this State in then withdrawing from the Federal Union."

I think there's a tendency for discussions about the south's position in the civil war to end up with slavery poisoning the well.

Differences in Reliability Across Wikipedia's Language Editions
Isn't the whole point of this comment thread "vulnerabilities to supply chain attacks"?

>> - Downloads binaries for use in build with no hash/signing verification.

> It downloads them using TLS.

If the binary is updated to a shady version, sure, no one will be able to tamper with the download, they're certain to have received the correct shady stuff.
What's the difference in pay between a "full doctor" as you put it consultant (UK) or attending (US)?

UK a consultant earns £100k pretax and pays approximately 30% net tax rate and 60% marginal rate.

What about US?

Apparently family medicine in the US brings in 130% more than the equivalent in the UK (GP which makes up half of all UK doctors).

That's truly astounding.
In the next 15 years?

Ember.js and Angular.

And I wouldn't call React a framework, it's a view library.

Let me explain.

While there was a new React router coming out every week in early 2010s, some teams picked a batteries included framework such as Ember.js and focused on productivity and shipping rather than bikeshedding which router to use or what folder structure to have.

And those teams have been upgrading their apps for over a decade since the early Ember.js versions (some even upgraded from before Ember was forked from Apple's SproutCore).

Intercom swears by it https://www.intercom.com/blog/evolution-of-ember-at-intercom...

So do some Ember apps at Apple, LinkedIn, Microsoft and Heroku that have been going through this journey for years.

And they will carry on.

There's a new and faster rendering library out on the block?

That's easy. We'll just replace the rendering engine.

That's what Ember.js did in mid-late 2010s with Glimmer.js, where they dropped-in a complete replacement of Ember.js rendering engine with full backwards compatibility which was beating React in some benchmarks.

https://auth0.com/blog/face-off-virtual-dom-vs-incremental-d...

So frameworks such as Ember.js, Ruby on Rails and others will still be there in 15 years, alive, with people interested in productivity rather than tinkering keeping them fresh and alive.

View libraries? Yes, but in the same sense jQuery is today. It's there, it's being patched, thousands of sites use it, but there'll be better ways to do it.
"Other Site Abandons Anonymity" says website which puts large "Sign Up" prompts on first-use and below every article.

Slightly hypocritical reclaimthenet
"notoriously under-subscribed" is a generous way to put it. I'm going to post a cool video soon though, I swear.
I've comments on it, but here goes again. I can't at all say Svelte lacks magic, but that magic is focused on eliminating boilerplate, not hiding where everything is coming from and going to.

It is jarring at first when you look at your code and say, "Wait, what else do I need to do?" And there's nothing left.

const { count, setCount } = useState(0);

in React becomes the following in Svelte.

let count = 0;

There is no more useMemo(…) or useEffect(…). No trying to help junior devs wrap their minds around closure rules just for basic functionality. These "extra" APIs on top of your problem just don't exist. There's no need for them. State management "just works" by using a store variable like $store instead of a more explicit subscribe callback and then having to remember to set up an event callback to unsubscribe and avoid a resource leak.

Vanilla JS libraries typically work out if the box with it without some bespoke wrapper or adapter for your framework. ("bind:this" is really handy.)
Web development with 99% less BS. Lets you focus on your problem, not on your framework's abstraction leaks.

In Svelte, CSS is automatically scoped to your component. No manual shenanigans, weird naming rules, or bespoke CSS generation from JS your dev team have to agree on like what's found in React. No giving up and just using inline styles. No hacks.

Just make a descriptive class name and write your CSS styles. That's it. You're done. For that reason, it reduces any desire I have to work with Tailwind, since we don't have to worry about style leakage. For pre-made styles, Open Props works better with SvelteKit's model.

If you like functional programming (like REALLY like it and consider it the "one true way"), React will likely appeal to you more since it puts programmatic logic above all other concerns and really cares about immutability and one-way data binding.

For the rest of us who care a little less about (in my opinion illusory) absolute purity and more about getting the job done as quickly as possible, with the least amount of code, and more understandable to newcomers, SvelteKit simply can't be beat for developer experience.

Under no circumstances would I recommend using React without a metaframework like NextJS. Similar advice for Svelte/SvelteKit, though I have used Svelte on its own for trivial, truly single-page view apps/pages.

For a beginner, no question: Svelte/SvelteKit is easier to learn, teach, and become productive with.

If you hate HTML and CSS, React is far better at hiding the underlying technologies from view. With Svelte, HTML and CSS are baked in to the developer experience.
It is a platform play, where the platform increasingly becomes incompatible with the open core stuff.

The value of a lot of software comes from interoperability, not from the code itself.

For instance, try running AOSP and 100% open source system libraries on your android phone for a month. You will find that you cannot perform basic financial transactions, like paying for parking, or hailing an uber/lyft, fast-charge your car, attend concerts without paying an extra fee, etc, etc.

I don’t even want my phone to support any of the above crap, but I don’t get to dictate how the US economy is structured, so I have no choice but to need all that stuff to work.
Researchers discovered that SD v1 uses internal representations of 3D geometry when generating an image. This ability emerged during the training phase of the AI, and was not programmed by people.
Just had to switch away from an open source build yesterday because after updating, Pylance seems to have stopped working due to DRM. Whenever it booted up, it just displayed a big warning about how using it with non-MS-sanctioned builds is a violation of the license, and promptly locked up.

What I miss most about early 2000 during college where the lan parties. When I went first live alone I organized a party at my appartment. It had so many poeple that there was a guy sited in the toilet with the keyboard and mouse on his lap, and the monitor on the sink.

The people favorites at the timeL: Quake 3 arena, CS1.6, and Duke Nuken 3d using Dukester to play in Lan
One is procedural (JavaScript), the other is declarative (HCL).

Both are (or at least were originally) “crippled” compared to “real” languages.

Both grew immensely each eventually escaping their single-vendor origins.
Is there any guide to getting this running on a real N64? I have an everdrive.
One misleading thing is the notion that you need a 1-2B model to run on commodity hardware.

This is not really true. Llama 7B runs with Vulkan/llama.cpp on ~8GB smartphones and ~12GB laptops. That ease is going to get much better over time, as lower RAM hardware starts dropping out of the market and the Vulkan implementations get more widespread.

For users trying to run LLMs on 8GB or less machines, the AI Horde approach of distributed models seems much more practical anyway.
> Importantly, this question sounds more like trying to find a reason why casteism is justified tbh.

No of course it’s not justified, and not sure why you thought I was trying to do that. I apologize if my comment came across like that.

I have never been in your shoes, so was trying to understand.
It's still the biggest social media platform out there and in fact it has more daily users now than it did before he bought it (discounting bots) so he's doing something right. Really makes a certain class of people seethe.
Well, if you spend enough time on duo lingo, and get past the "I fucking love the rrrrugby" stage, then you can totally talk to all sorts of people from whales in their native language.
"Crossing the chasm" is not a bad one
Then technically neither is wind, since it slows down surface air currents and widens the effective boundary layer of the atmosphere.

Technically-technically, no forms of energy "generation" (technically just conversion) are 100% efficient so something is always lost to heat. I guess the important question is, what is the net effect in changing that kind of energy into purely thermal energy?
I think they mean "command economy"/"planned economy"
I've played Texas Hold-Em once in my life so can't really comment on it. I did well for about 5 hands (lucky cards) but had lost everything by the end of the night (combination of unlucky cards and some strategic mistakes).
How fast-check does to support both CJS and ESM users?
Yeah, compost worms, aquaculture, and chickens.

The Grow Biointensive system claims to be a complete diet and require no fertilizer. The trick is that 60% of your crop is so-called "carbon farming" that produces a lot of compostable material in addition to food (e.g. corn, fava beans).
I’m using that, and haven’t noticed any differences between vscodium and the closed source one (other than the removal of telemetry).
I’m probably part of the minority but I simply power off my laptop whenever I don’t need to use it for more than 10 minutes. Perhaps PTSD from when battery used to drain if it hibernates
Yeah, Fleming knew more the schmoozing at fancy parties like Bond in part because he was working in the US in 1940-1941 trying (and failing) to convince American politicians to enter the war (before it had to in late 1941).
Please don't just copy/paste LLM responses.
It's a bit more important than that number suggests. For one, 7% of global systematic reviews is not a trivial proportion.

But more importantly Cochrane allows for the pre-registration of such reviews, i.e. where the methodology and goals (hypotheses) are stated before the review is conducted. This is probably the most scientifically rigorous method of assessing evidence, and is not performed for most systematic reviews.
That made me a bit hesitant too, because it's likely that I might not like the switches I choose first.

It takes a few days or weeks of actual usage to have an idea how suitable a certain switch type is.

It's also likely that I would choose different switches for a few keys....
You now the bit about Nazis, you can be two of either a) a nice person b) an intelligent person c) a Nazi.

I guess the works for all kinds of cases of discrimination.
Untyped lambda calculus FTW!
ssh-ing somewhere strange on a small laggy connection is standard operating procedure. Not having internet is normal. Not being able to write gigabytes of crap into root's home is normal. Not to mention not installing some weird language environment like Kotlin just so the config is highlighted properly. Including all the bazillion libs i'll need. And all the editor configuration that i'll of course have to copy around everywhere. And then debug first, to get the language server working on old CrapHeadDistro 17.9 from back when Obama still ruled. Only to get chewed up in the next security audit for having installed too much useless old crap, because I need that to edit some config files...

You can pry vim from my cold dead hands. After pressing <Esc> thrice of course. You may even get me to install a syntax highlighting file somewhere and maybe use netrw if possible. But a random server you are adminning just isn't the same as your average developers single laptop.
That sounds more like the movie industry approach.

In the games industry, that would probably only happen in you developed the entire game yourself and only needed a publisher. If you need to take payment in advance for development, you would also most likely lose the IP.

Both Takahashi and Iwatani were Namco employees, so they wouldn't get to keep any IP they developed within the company. But that doesn't stop the said company from giving them bonuses and promotions. Doesn't seem to have happened in their case.
This may seem like bad news, but as a grad student studying evidence synthesis I can say that there is a silver lining here. The quality of studies in systematic inputs is low and even Cochrane's reviews have been critiqued for missing things. It's a big factory that hasn't fundamentally innovated how research is synthesized. There are newer forms of synthesis like realist reviews, meta-modeling, and model-driven meta-analyses (those are just a few examples).

Hopefully this results in some innovation at the conceptual and financial levels. For those who lost their income, they have transferrable skills that would be welcomed in healthtech companies, other governmental groups, and academic positions. It's really not as bad as it seems.
My point is it’s all cake. Everything’s an abstraction on something.
Every energy source becomes renewable on the right time scale.
Perhaps, though I could see there being issues like "I see fish on our left" "well, you're always wrong so we are going right" being an issue. There's even the issue with "shorthand" that might not be universalizable. For example, with a hunting strategy you could imagine "Execute the Janeway protocol" being an issue for translation.

You can see some of the hunting strategy problems play out with sheep dogs. A well trained sheep herding dog can execute really impressive actions based only on specific whistles trained by the handler. [1]. It'd be wrong to conclude a specific element of language for all dogs based on the whistles.

This project is mostly useless, and I say that as someone who uses ungoogled chromium as their primary browser.

The only apparent practical reason for this to exist is to disable telemetry. But the telemetry built into VSCode can already be completely disabled by configuration. And if you don’t trust that configuration to do what it says on the tin you should also not trust a piece of software built from the same source.
That seems pretty elaborate just to maintain two different environments.

Doesn't VSCodium have something like browser profiles, where you can customize all kinds of things only in that profile? I use this in Firefox all the time, windows looks different etc.
Sure, but you're using the internet, courtesy of military-funded research, using electricity that's been routed through distribution and substations that exist thanks to military-funded research, travel places based on GPS, courtesy of direct military research, your modern life is only possible because just like everyone else, the military has a budget allocated for researching computing and electronics advances that they can use, which invariably translates to things the private sector can use.

So what's your point?
it's very weird of you to basically only call out the above user's actions of... being in the thread, and not the actual merits of what they're saying.

many of us will laugh at you as well, because you don't add anything to the conversation but pretend like you do

Not sure you can logically own something after you’re dead. Even the cells that comprised you. They came from elsewhere (primarily the grocery store) and were fleetingly you until they weren’t.
Are you sure you weren’t using an older version of one? I see no practical difference between code on macos and vscodium on Linux (except that I prefer Linux’s font renderer, and the ctrl key moved).
