I don’t think this is how I’d design a LAN party house. I think a large round table with monitors is a more social setup, and creates equal importance amongst all the people sitting around it. There would be space in the middle section of table behind the monitors for people to connect their own rigs or setup one of the house rigs. With the right circumference, you could see up to 4 other people from any specific seating position.

I would also make the use of projectors to project live streams for different players in more social oriented areas of the house, where placing a TV would be impractical.

Pretty cool though that a LAN party house exists at all.
Many people in this thread have completely misunderstood the answer I gave, to the question that was posed.

> holy texts are a totally different ballgame.

They are not. Historically, written concepts endure longer than unwritten concepts. Again, this is commonly considered self-evident.

> I also don't think that speaking directly about a belief makes it stronger, particularly for discrimination

It may be worth it, but the hyperbole of denying the effect:

eg "How would it extend longevity?"

is the dissonance that I have pointed out.
This is where Chef got it right over Puppet, but of which were written in Ruby. But Chef recipes are just Ruby files, and they make use of the Ruby language to do the same thing because it's perfectly capable of describing things that way.

Huawei: "Stopped by one of my haters' funeral today"
This push and pull on "programming language vs DSL" will be with us forever. Some people love maven because it's a concise DSL, easy to understand if you understand maven. Some people like gradle because it's a DSL with a major escape hatch in that it's also just the groovy programming language with all that entails.

This dance has played out with the likes of the Javascript community. Just write a js script, no actually we need a pipeline so let's use grunt. Actually we hate grunt so let's use gulp, actually gulp is just wrong lets get declarative with webpack. Actually that's too inflexible and weedy let's just use a framework (like react-scripts) which just runs our code and gets out of the way.

After 10+ years of programming, it seems like we are on an endless loop of "let the framework do everything" to "let's enable maximum flexibility with a full programming language". (see ant in the java world for an even earlier version of this). It seems like the push and pull is this constant problem that "describing the problem is hard, and messing up that description makes everything more complex to maintain". The lack of flexibility feels nice because there's less to mess up, but then when something really complex arises you usually end up doing something 10x more nasty than you would with an ultimate flexibility framework. On the flip side, super flexible frameworks lend themselves to being completely unique butterflies that require a heavy up front research to understand (as, you don't know what that foo method is doing and why it does it). They can 1x the complex situation but it feels like the tendency is to want to overcomplicate simple problems by reinventing a framework for your company. (My company is dealing with this and jenkins pipelines)
I personally hope that LLMs have no such limits. The good these tools can do is immeasurable.

I can already run Llama 2 @70b on my laptop, and that’ll look like a quaint old AI artifact in 5-7 years. I think the consumer market will keep pace yet stay well below SotA, just as it always has. That still leaves plenty of room for incredible open-source stuff!
I saw another mention of this in the comments. How can this be affected by “removing tracking and branding and building our own binaries”?

Shouldn’t the be almost the same minus these small MS specific bits?

I think this would make me even more hesitant to use it if it introduces subtle changes / maybe bugs into the equation.
And yet, that practice won’t be prevented by this law.
Really cool stuff! Do you have any recommendations of where we could learn more?
I'm curious now, what disadvantages of React could outweight the entanglement of reactive state management and undocumented lifecycle. I could understand that you could have the same issues with state management if you were using MobX with React, but undocumented component lifecycle sounds crazy.
You said:

">Consumer protection law in the EU/UK has got this covered for those citizens."

regarding the topic that said:

"free" returns are coming to an end"

and I said that your comment is wrong becuase there is no EU protection in place saying that your return must be "free".

EU law only says the store must accept your return within 14 days, but you as the consumer are liable of the cost of your return such as shipping and loss of value of the item due to wear and tear or opening the seal.

There is no EU law mandating "free" returns for you, even if some of the big stores like Amazon or Zalando have been doing it as a courtesy to the customers, that doesn't mean it was the law, and as the title says, that can come to an end if the stores desire, and there's no law to stop them as you claim.

Clear now?
K3s is the best out of any of these "lite" k8 frameworks. As someone who has never worked in tech, it took me about five hours to setup k3s with cert manager with a few PHP and nodejs deployments. This is using my own helm setup making it trivial to upgrade.

Hi! We ran LSH filtering over datasets to remove all code that can be similar to HumanEval samples.
I'm pretty sure it is protected under the first amendment, especially as long as you don't actively advocate direct violence etc.
Also, I can't replicate it? I gave ChatGPT the prompts "Define caste," "explain caste to me," and "discuss caste discrimination" and the responses didn't include the word Hindu once.

Notable excerpts:

"Castes have been particularly prevalent in certain societies, notably in parts of South Asia, such as India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka."
...
"It's important to note that caste systems are not limited to South Asia, as similar systems have existed in other parts of the world. The term "caste" may also be used more broadly to describe any system of social stratification based on hereditary or ascribed characteristics that assign people to different social roles and statuses."

I suppose they OpenAI could have patched ChatGPT between then and now, but I'd like to see the full prompt and conversation history she used.
> What I want is Javascript helper library that's easy to jump back into

YMMV, but this is precisely why I've standardized on svelte both for work and hobby projects. There are times when I've come back to project that I haven't touched in over a year and it was really easy to get my bearings quickly because there wasn't all kinds of code noise to sift through.
It’s only a false dilemma if there’s a third, etc. possibility. You can’t just assume that every problem has a magical happy solution that requires no tradeoffs.
> For ascorbic acid (vitamin C) specifically, there is such a thing as too much of it.. in humans, the level that is too much is when it gives you loose stools.. if you back off that, then the body is likely using what it needs.

You’re describing absorption tolerance, but the body doesn’t need anywhere near that much Vitamin C.

The idea that you need to “titrate to bowel tolerance” as the alternative medicine practitioners say is rather nonsensical. Nothing in the diets we evolved to consume has anywhere near enough Vitamin C to cause loose stools (from Vitamin C excess)

You can consume more than enough Vitamin C for your body to ever use with regular food. Taking these megadose supplements at unnaturally high doses may get some absorbed into your body, but it just gets excreted back out.

Absorption and use are two different things.
So you are saying intellectual property theft should not be illegal?
I am an Indian who oppose this bill, because of multiple reasons.
A good amount of Indian population here in America is form a Hindu background. And the majority of that population doesn't really believe in a caste system. I have never ever ill intentionally asked anyone their caste. But the way the bill is worded, It implies that anyone in my lineage can be sued based on my perceived caste (based on allegations of course) that is inherited to me against my will. That's is literally discriminatory law.
The bill defines caste as:
“Caste” means an individual’s perceived position in a system of social stratification on the basis of inherited status.
My son who never ever knew the term caste, can be sued when he grows up if in his 40s he becomes a manager and promoted someone which not promoting someone else. Right or wrong aside, my son did nothing wrong to be automatically finding himself in a category of a "perceived caste" that can be sued for caste discrimination.
Mankind should work against such categorizations including religions.
That’s the key. Declarative converging systems so much better than imperative and all the edge case handling necessary.
I'd like to add belatedly that I think it's cool that you introduce the Curry-Howard stuff so early on, basically from the very beginning.
This really rings true for me. I’ve used many DSLs over the last 20+ years. Build systems. UI definition files. Orchestration languages.

They always start simple and easy, but they always eventually grow so complex that using a real language would be preferable.

I’ve never seen a system remain at the same level of complexity (or much less shrink) over a multi year timeline.
What do you mean by “behave this way”? I have no idea what in particular you’re referring to. It could be parent. Or something in grand parent and you’re supporting parent.

Have you read even one chapter of the novel?

Although he is fascinated by the craft of spying (and I can see why some people might find that objectionable or regrettable) Le Carre does not engage in the moral stereotyping or moral certainty you describe.

Also, spies probably save lives: if for example the Kremlin had been more skilled at collecting and analyzing information about Ukraine's military capabilities, they probably wouldn't have invaded.

Look at ideas from the Fediverse which provides a tookit to build things like

* mastodon which is a federated "twitter"
* pixelfed which is a federated "flickr"
* Kbin and Lemmy are a federated "reddit"

Lately I've taken some interest in "Web3" in the sense that I think the Fedi is missing single sign on, but Web3 is problematic in many ways, not least the financialization/ownership thing seems to be about as offputting as having a friend join Amway, and that even with a good solution to signing your signing key people will still struggle to manage keys. Client-side SSL certificates have been around since the server-side ones but when have you seen one used?

Taking a look at the bigger picture, it does indeed seem like the Perl philosophy lost to the Python philosophy overall.

Looking at the hip n cool languages, not just Python for scripting but surely Go and to some extent Rust as well for native stuff (Dart for scripting also but it didn't outright "win"), these are mostly languages that deliberately simplified things. Yes, even Rust - it needs to be compared to C++ and its biggest feature is basically that it doesn't let you do all the things C++ does, within a very similar model.

The only language that I heard is going against these trends (but I'm largely clueless what it's actually like) is Julia which sort of has its own "lay" niche like Perl did back in the day, and is mostly winning based on the premise that it's a performant scientific language.

The industry obsesses over costs of adoption, stability, maintenance; in short: how to get the most out of the least actual new development. It does make quite a lot of sense, to be honest, although sometimes it's really demotivating at an individual level.

And frankly, "learn the language, duh" usually comes up when the language is complex or unintuitive for no practical purpose. Of course there will be people who always complain if they have to learn anything but I don't think they make the majority, or even a significant minority, in the software engineering world. "Learning the language" is only as much of a virtue as the language itself serves its purpose, which includes easy of use and the readability of someone else's code.
I don’t know a lot about this subject and am definitely open to my perception being wrong, but reading about the opposition to this makes we wonder whether it’s akin to the south during the civil war—“we want to secede because of injustices against us, totally not because we want to keep slavery”.
SQL would be my #1 example too.

It is probably the ultimate DSL if you are willing to get deviant with your tech stack.
Both the C community and the C++ community is strong enough to survive someone occasionally posting about how the committee is sometimes annoying to work with. In return, we get some pretty awesome new features and important fixes to the languages and their standard libraries. Seems like a win to me.

The point sailed right over your head. Before you ask what I mean, I want you to think of a few possibilities first.
When I was a kid learning programming, there was another kid named "PatorJK", maybe a few years older than me, and its crazy to see him still coming up with new app ideas, mostly just scripts that you can use on his website. The reason its crazy... I became familiar with him over 25 years ago, when I was probably around 12 or 13 years old.

Back in the days of Visual Basic, he would include the code to do it, which was always useful for me to see how it was done, being the self-taught programmer I was.

Too many years ago, he posted on his blog about what his website was... http://patorjk.com/blog/2007/09/24/what-patorjkcom-is/

I still pop into his website every now and then to see his latest projects. It's just a unique random mess of his life's work, but he's still somewhat active today.
Kagi's search results are good, feels like google never died, to me.

It's really comfortable and easy to use for my desktop use case.

What makes me wobble about Kagi is about advertising on here with anonymized aggregated stats. He promises in the privacy policy to never share data (I'm paraphrasing, it's not exacty this wording) and then advertises with it.

It's not the advertising that bothers me, it just feels so needless to provide a sense of 'privacy comfort' and then provide a sense of 'wait you're gonna air my (anon) dirty laundry?'

Again not a big deal, but if he breaks his own rules (or suggests at it)... then he's not really committed and nor am I.

I know it's a small thing. I wouldn't mind 5yrs ago, but as everyone is so antsy about people playing by 'the rules' and constantly providing updates to software that doesn't need it, locking a relationship into place I didn't ask for... then the little things start to matter.
Ah I misread your first line. I don't think many people, white or otherwise feel tarnished by the banning of literal race discrimination such as white supremacy, which probably contributed to my misreading.

I figured you were referring to banning it even in the way that white supremacists currently exist (ie noisy bigots who would get in legal trouble if they actually discriminated in a meaningful way), which I think more people would oppose on principle.
It can be worth deprioritizing encode complexity since the majority of audio and video streaming is non-live content. Youtube, Netflix, TikTok, Instagram, and so on can all benefit even if encode is slower than realtime. Obviously there are cost-benefit considerations here but they are doing AV1 so they are willing to accept some hit on compute costs as a trade for bandwidth costs.
Community has a few elements: the people and topic are one (e.g. dpreview is a great place to go to get photography questions answered) another one is the quality of moderation.

Tildes has a fairly nice mechanism of notifying you about comments to your posts that I think draws people in to keep participating. (Note: I still have Tildes invites)
"Consume" is a generic economic term that encompasses any use of a good or service.
Changing norms in one place can influence changes in others. Can anyone not believe that Truman's desegregation of the armed forces in the late 1940s helped set the stage white acceptance of the later civil rights movements of the 50s and 60s?
Hyperbolic blog posts are so annoying.

Really, if OpenTF happens, you’ll be back to square one?

“ When the maintainers of OpenTF inevitably decide that they want to add enhancements that require language changes, you as the end user end up in a situation where you’re effectively back to square 1, learning (potentially) a new DSL.”

You can switch the extension marketplace, but Microsoft uses DRM in their extensions to prevent them from running with non-proprietary builds [1]. Pylance, their Python LSP, is one notable example [2]. Their earlier Python LSP was open source, but the community forks have lost a lot of the wind in their sails because such a large portion of developers use VC Code without realizing or caring that the LSP is DRM-laden and closed source. I believe the traditional term for this is embrace, extend, extinguish.

They do mention that Cochrane is only accounting for 7% of systematic reviews these days.

BTW, evidence-based medicine is not the same as science-based medicine. The Placebo Effect is evidence-based medicine.
> There's basically no way to do this without trusting the redistributor in addition to the original publisher, but some things can reduce the amount of trust. Having a verifiable build process, that checks signing keys and hashes, that re-signs, etc, that all helps. If end-users can theoretically produce exactly the same build themselves it's easier to trust it.

Really what much else could you ask for?

It only takes 1 trusted friend to verify the codebase, and from there it can spread. Luckily there are a lot of talented people on the Internet whom several people can vouch for, easy to find. It's pretty much a non-problem in the age of the Internet.

The same natural logic applies to anything else really... like cars - "yo what car do you trust?"

It's just the nature of living. If you don't have the skills, you need to find someone who does to trust. And no just because it comes from a company doesn't mean you can trust it, that's a fallacy. "Safety" doesn't necessary equate to "profits" which is what a business needs to live. It's an organism.

Did you ever analyze if this was purely due to your caste or if it was due to you being perceived (real or not I don’t know) as someone who is from the reserved category and hence benefited from reservation in college admission.

I don’t give a shit about caste, never have, and for most part can’t tell based on last names, but I’ll be honest that even after decades I still feel a little raw about reservation.

And therein lies the rub, as in will it or not, these legislations lead to people being unfairly sued for caste discrimination upon not getting a job due to lack of capability.
GPT4 is expensive to run, even more expensive to finetune, and for all practical purposes can’t be run offline (because the model is too big to run outside of a huge data center). Evaluation latency is also an issue for many usecases, and you have to share your query with openai, so you can’t run sensitive queries. The output is also controlled/censored by OpenAI.

Here’s a few usecases that I wouldn’t want to use OpenAI/GPT for

- Advanced autocomplete for texting and private communications

- Querying sensitive document databases like emails

- Traveling in low connectivity areas

- Politically incorrect usecases (generating erotic content for example)

List kinda goes on and on
