Another small northern European language here that got an (hopefully) auto-translated version. Completely unreadable. Even if done by a human it is pretty much translated word for word with no feeling for the target language at all.

There's already tooling available for using SMT to validate LLVM-IR transformations [1]. It's designed for zero false positives however, so some things might slip through the cracks.

Additionally, this work focuses on phase ordering, which produces correct code regardless of what the LLM puts out, assuming there aren't any bugs in the passes being used (which could crop up as random orderings aren't as well tested as the standard orderings in the commonly used pipelines).

While i get the pain of users, i've observed that habits stick and only a weak 5-20% of the learners actually drop convenient-but-insecure habits (downloading untrusted files without inspection beforehand) because convinence always wins over. I wouldnt change the system but definitely mention (more than once) the risks involved with what they are doing at the moment and to inspect the code later when they learn more.

What is the source of your confidence?
One example where a LLM might be better is which functions to inline.

Current compilers use a complex set of heuristics, a more holistic approach the kind neural networks do might outperform.
“written by Father Lother Koenig, a Jesuit who was in the anti-Nazi resistance in Germany”

Probably might be a stretch, and even if not, a Jesuit rebel would probably have been taken with a large grain of salt. While the Jesuits are the spies of the Vatican, they’re kept at arms length. Not surprising this didn’t see the light of day until the First Jesuit Pope.
I’m curious how this compares to OCI’s Resource Manager.

People are managing to wring Python / Jupyter installations together using online tutorials, writing, and sharing useful code. The open source community brought us those tools. Today, all of the "top" programming languages have open-source toolchains.

I agree about the portability of VB, HC, and Excel code, including spreadsheets. At least, VB6. ;-) But people are managing with the more fragmented ecosystems of open source tools such as Python toolchains.
> Does meat actually taste good though?

It does to me -- but I think there's a good point here (even if unintentional):

Meats have _textures_ that vegetables don't have. Someone else mentioned how the Impossible Burger replicates "the bloody meat texture". For many folks, that's going to be as important as the taste.

I love vegetables but sometimes I just want a hamburger -- or kung pao chicken, or lamb kadhi, or many other dishes where I _like_ the taste and texture of the meat, and I don't have a better replacement.
Hey, I like your site! Especially like the selection of fonts you linked, thanks. Also checked out the static site generator you linked to, and thought you might want to know that their website gives an error unless you include the "www." prefix in the url.
A tool that that tells people what they want to hear is not much of a tool.
This is reductionist to the point of absurdity.

Remember the Luddites. Yea, that group considered to be 'anti-technology', except that isn't what happened. At the time they were kicked to the street to starve with nowhere to live.

AI does not have to replace every job to completely and totally disrupt society in ways like leading to world wars, or the rise again of fascist governments. Blind faith that the magic hand of technology always makes things better is just a form of historical ignorance of all the social changes that had to occur with it to ensure that we were not enslaved by those that owned technology.

My take is that it is attempting a similar “intervention” as the Agile Manifesto did, but less well thought through or phrased.

The data science/ engineering domain appears to often produce outcomes like a good deal of 1990s software projects - projects that don’t produce good or expected results [0].

I posted a counterpoint recently [1] that said we should stop approaching data engineering like software engineering. Given what appears to be an almost endless number of data projects that produce little to no value to businesses, what should data professionals do to address the problem? This manifesto at least attempts to make a statement.

[0] I contributed to many of these at the beginning of my career!

Not really, at least not apples-apples for something like a Pi.

There are a couple of different aspects to this, one is that soft-logic it typically slower than hard-logic so you just can't get comparable frequencies out of a soft implementation. For datapath designs, this is typically solved by going wider, but that isn't quite as helpful or practical for all aspects of a processor implemented in soft logic.

If you look at the specs for this softcore processor, they have much less performance than a Pi, even when you're using some of the biggest and more $$ families of FPGAs: https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/microblaze.html....

I'd say that is on-par with similar complexity soft-core CPUs from other vendors or even open-source ones.

With respect to the design transparency, it kind of depends on how much you care about the black-box compilers required to use a lot of these advanced chips. You can feed open-source RTL into them, but there's still a proprietary black-box compiler/fitter/place-route etc for a lot of these.

There's some work toward open toolchains from yosys and https://f4pga.org/, but none of the big FPGA companies seem very bought-in or willing to help in big ways, so it's been a community best-effort, and for some of the fancier devices, you still have to use the proprietary tools to build bitstreams.
When I first read the title I thought: how useless, even if he did know, the article won't tell me anything about his thinking process, decisions, or whatever went on backstage. Then I saw it was a CNN article, which doubled my certainty of the uselessness of the information. The I read the article to confirm my beliefs and biases...confirmed. No one can draw conclusions from this information.; it only leaves conspiracy theories, confusion, and more questions. Such is the state of the news media.
The spores are, but the toxin is the problem and breaks down with heat so, in theory, if you boil the food for a bit before eating it, it would be safe.
Although I don't hunt or fish anymore, this was great. It captures how bizarrely engaging and gratifying activities like these can be, haha.

> We cruise on, the slough opening into a lake. By now, I’ve got the proper predatory mind-set and am catching nearly every frog I try for. “You’re doing real good, Bill,” Jody tells me. “You’ve got an interesting motion. I sort of smash-grab, you know. I’ll push that frog down another six inches when I grab him, but you sorta pluck him out like an eagle.” It’s shameful how gratified I am at these words of praise. I am a grown, widely traveled man. I have caught a 150-pound tarpon, killed a bull elk with a bow and arrow, and survived an audit by the IRS. But at this particular moment, I would rather be counted a good frog grabber than anything I can think of.

When you're into it, you're into it. As a kid I could hunt frogs for hours and hours. You get wired right into it. People will look at you like you're crazy, and maybe you are, but it becomes the singular thing that matters. Anyone who loves fishing will say the same.

These days I've replaced the hunting and fishing with shooting on cameras. It's fun in the water because a lot of fish are pretty clever, and they seem to pick up on when they're being hunted. When you just have a camera and you hang around a while, they warm up a bit and present a bit more. When you're blasting spears around and diving they tend to stay pretty cool and stay out of view extremely effectively. Pros and cons. I don't have crispy ling cod dinners on the beach anymore, but I get to dial into the state of the water, the animals, and the moment a little more too. It's all good.
Yep, and Apple does this too. The Spotlight feature in macOS (OS-wide search, it's the little magnifying glass in the top right) was a feature that Apple blatantly ripped off from a popular early-2000s third party extension. Adding this to the OS killed that company overnight. Forget their name, but someone else might remember.

All platform vendors seem to do this, which is unfortunate.
The article's funny, and kind of surreal read considering a dimension fading away while all the characters become cartoons and the landscape becomes vague. Have similar thoughts occasionally.

However, also creepy. Not sure if its the way humans have always written, that ChatAI got too good too fast, or that they all secretly had them all for years (Multiple massive AI releases in a year???, "had em all in a box in the back")

The 2nd image (with pair of images) on the Sharing Photos subsection [1] literally looks like StableDiffusion++. Somebody wrote two prompts, that had something like "Male with frizzy hair next to girl in pink shirt with glasses with brick building behind" and then it didn't care whether it was the same male in both, or what skin color.

Same thing happened in China. Just the last 5 years we have seen how incredible productive and industrial China is. Able to completely manufactured their own chips while USA had to rely on external allies. Just on the hypersonic missile production along by on some analysts estimate, China avle to outproduce entire NATO combined by at least 25 to 1 ratio. The same already seen happening today when Russia alone can outproduce artillery shells about 6 to 1 what USA and EU can produce combined. I believe we are in the middle of world event witnessing something like destruction of Spanish armada (or now more aptly to say American armada) being played out in coming years.
While i agree, the issue is the target audience. If this was directed at more technical and knowledgeable tech-savvy people one-upping their game, i would be very glad and thankful for a shell script. However, its not. Its a potential starting point for being, in cool nerd terms, webmaster, and that has its own set of responsibilites and habits, habits like not downloading files and packages without checking first. While some might change the habit after learning more, i doubt that many will do that.
Conversely, AI will likely call you a 'next-meal-predictor' sooner than later.
I have used Petals at a past project. I share my GPU as well as wrote code for the project.

The Petals part was abstracted away from me. I had a normal experience writing code.

I don't have the project listed anywhere. Don't really know what happened to it. But, it was mainly some five or so guys spearheading the thing.
So, they plan to switch from blast furnaces to electric arc furnaces. But there's a catch. Or actually two. The first is that the blast furnace smelts ore and produces iron and steel. That is energy and carbon intensive. The electric arc furnace processes recycled steel. That is much less energy and carbon intensive. You could say "great, a victory for recycling". But in reality is just moving the blast furnace to another part of the world. Every year the world produces some steel from recycled steel and some from ore. Switching from ore to recycled steel is not going to magically reduce the need for new steel. That new steel will still be needed, and it will be produced in China.

The second catch is that the electric arc furnace is carbon neutral only if the electricity that it uses is carbon neutral. The world is moving in that direction, so this is good. The only thing is that it's not the steel plant that's doing the heavy lifting, but the solar or wind plants that generate the green electricity. So, why the large subsidy to the steel plant? Their blast furnaces were at the end of their life, and they were going to replace them with arc furnaces anyway.

Well, after all it's a step in the right direction. Nothing is perfect.
The focus of this work is finding the optimal ordering of optimization passes to perform, not doing neural compilation. This guarantees correct code, assuming the underlying transformation passes are correct.

Most work in ML for compilers focuses on replacing heuristics and phase ordering precisely because they don't impact correctness. There is some work being done on neural compilation [1], but I'm not sure that's going to be a viable approach anytime soon.

The crazy thing is how controversial that comment becomes. If you look at the new 8-K public companies must file to report cyber incidents; MGM just filed their press release-nothing more.

Key takeaway paragraphs for me:

"But roller bottles aren’t just problematic due to their miniscule output. They’re also expensive and wasteful, according to numerous biopharma and cultivated-meat industry sources. Each flask is made from sterile, single-use plastic, which must be discarded or recycled once it has generated its 2 to 3 grams of tissue. Given that an ordinary 2-liter plastic drink bottle can easily weigh 30 grams, Upside’s current production method likely produces plastic waste more than 10 times faster than it makes meat. “Can you imagine how much landfill waste you’re actually generating?” says one former employee, who was disturbed by the volume of single-use plastic being used at Upside.

Roller bottles also require a lot of tending by human beings, says David Humbird, an independent analyst and bioprocess scale-up expert and author of a comprehensive economic assessment of cultivated meat. Before it can produce its 2 to 3 grams of tissue, each bottle will need to be individually prepared, filled with cells, then periodically opened and filled with new media over the course of several days—a painstaking process that staffers must repeat under sterile conditions with hundreds of bottles before finished cell sheets can be carefully squeegeed out. It’s an approach that requires many hours of work by trained scientists to yield a tiny serving of food.

But the chicken served at Bar Crenn uses multiple animal-derived ingredients. The roller bottles in which the tissues are grown are coated with porcine gelatin to help the cells stick to the plastic surface. An FDA safety dossier submitted by Upside also confirms that it might use bovine serum to grow its cells. The current employee also said that bovine serum—derived from the blood of adult cattle—is being used in the roller bottle process for Bar Crenn."
I'm surprised there are more conspiracies about this than the facades you can find walking around Manhattan. I remember stumbling upon one without knowing what they were, and being rather confused (and suspicious).
War's not about territory. It's about enforcing your will on some other national entity. But yeah, most often that will is "I want all the benefit of your territory to devolve to whomever I say."
Because the purpose of war is to force political concessions from an opponent through the force of violence against property and life. The suffering and material cost are what make war an effective means of coercion. Video games don't have the same political impact that the charred corpses of Americans hung from a bridge in Fallujah do.

And that's not even getting into war as a racket, its utility for propaganda and cultural control, boosting the economy and funding the military industrial complex.
IIRC the PSAC II building, also in NYC, is designed so that someone can fly a plane into it without anyone inside really noticing.
You don’t need to see a doctor regularly with sublingual immunotherapy. It’s just a couple of drops or a tablet once a day for 5 mins. No side effects (it’s effectively microdosing the allergen to desensitise the body)

1. Many less police than 20 years ago

2. Police still have to take reports for these things, not to mention they have other things they have to do.

3. Overworked police have to prioritize what parts of their jobs they get done.

There is no conjecture about it, it simply is. And it explains how Seattle reported crime was down 4% in 2022 while homicide was up 24%.

> With everything related to policing, these things are never as simple as "simply have less [sic] cops". Reporting requirements change, dispatch systems change, unit composition changes, etc etc.

Those things change very slowly, if at all, over 20 years. They still need people to pick up the phone, and online reporting isn't applicable to larger crimes (they'll tell you that you can't file online and must call the non-emergency number).
I wish the map could represent gun ownership and smoker rates as well. Am I just seeing that there are a lot more smokers in the red areas? Or is it the same rate of smokers as many other states, just these have more smoking-related deaths? Did they normalize the data for that already? I feel like there's not enough information here to really interpret the visualization.
No it's not. There is always a taller person and shorter people.

I think that's true, at least officially, but IIRC the ATF came about in the 1800s as part of the Treasury Department, i.e. "managing" those things in the sense of taxation/revenue first more than policing, the latter now belonging at least as much to the DEA and FBI maybe?

I'm living on a business visa, somewhere in Asia. I am a freelancer, on long to medium term contracts (6-12 months), but my clients may cancel my contract at any 3 month notice, depending on how they feels (that's the nature of the game). Which would mean that my business visa is in limbo, and I potentially need to return to where I came from; which for me would be fatal at this point (economically, spiritually & socially).

The way I cope with this, is by making sure that my current contract does not define my future. I'm always interviewing and networking with new companies & clients (3-4x per month), and am working on my own startup, which after +1 year is slowly getting users. Perhaps there is no perfect advice here, but I cope by making sure that my job is as replaceable as me. I also have backup plans for if my visa doesn't work work out (spend some time in another country, where I already made plans to get around if my visa becomes a problem).
Of course (2) is not a perfect measure of accuracy, since it does not quantify how far wrong an output is, e.g. if 111111111111 is the correct output, then both
111111111110 and 829382934783 count as equally faulty. The main advantage of (2) is that it is natural, easy to understand, and easy to measure and compare. We have to start somewhere. I imagine that, in the future, it can be refined (e.g. taking the Hamming distance between desire and actual output). I expect that more refined quantification emerges in response to the community better understanding exactly what is hard in the synthesis of programs.
