honestly, yes, i really suspect this is true. i’ve been using chatgpt since the beta days to help with studying chinese, and i’ve noticed over the months that its replies have gotten increasingly wordy.

the good thing is that you can tell it to be more concise, less bot-like, not so apologetic, etc., and it’ll trim down its responses for as long as it can “remember” (whatever the token limit is on persistence). it’ll be great when llms have, by default, a bit of persistent memory to remember things like this
> So you have endless "Fix a" "Typo" "fixup" "revert redo" "add y missed in z" commits and then the squash pushes all that crap into the commit message for whatever the final mess will be?

In Github at least you can set the behavior to take the PR description by default as the squashed commit message. In fairness this is not the default. The default behavior for squash merges is to ask for a new commit message right as you hit the merge button, and the default is all of the messages from the commits being squashed together.

> make no effort to produce high-quality independent commits

I'm partial to sqaush merges when using github. I don't put much effort into the individual commit messages, instead I put lots of effort into the PR description (the thing reviewers will read, and what will eventually become the commit message in revision history). That said, one of my favorite features from gerrit at a past job was that the commit message itself could be reviewed.

Large Language Models as Superpositions of Cultural Perspectives
I disagree on this; GitHub should be building the best option here if they have the resources to do so. The fact that the review interface is as basic as it and so prone to accidentally marking the wrong comments as outdated is a major issue (one that other software like Phorge[0] already shows is possible if we're sticking to the realm of "non-mailing client reliant git servers").

Having to bolt extra features on top of GitHub to make it work properly is a shortcoming of GitHub, it shouldn't be an opportunity to build more tooling the customer has to pay for on top of it. Granted, I can see that conversation would get us nowhere given your income relies on selling people features GitHub is languishing on - you have an obvious interest in keeping that feature shitty.

> "By comparison, 1,000 Humanitaria beds cost $17,000, can be produced in hours on existing, readily-available packaging machinery in every major city in the world, delivered folded flat by plane next day and can be set up in 20 minutes. The first 24 hours is critical in disaster response and this invention brings massive promise!"

You misinterpretted that portion of the artical, the CEO is contrasting their beds to what 1000 beds currently take to set-up.
I'm familiar with similar can't-fail applications in industrial controls engineering. Safety-critical software usually only means enough watchdogs, counters, and checksums that you can be confident everything will shut down if something's not right.

But the Onewheel is a harder problem - you must continue to run even if something goes wrong! There are some industrial processes that are run continuous, you must not ever stop that pump or furnace or the molten metal will solidify or sewage will back up into people's homes or things will otherwise go very, very wrong. To deal with that, you need at the very least one-out-of-two function, redundant heterogeneous parallel motor drivers and IMUs in the Onewheel for example. Most plants - even big automotive lines, where an isolated fault can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour - do not go to that enormous effort and expense. A consumer product never will.
A Pull Request should represent one change to the system (whether that’s a new feature or a bug fix). A commit to the Pull Request branch only has value in the context of the Pull Request. If you want a Pull Request to contain multiple atomic changes then sure, you need to do what you’re describing… but that’s entirely optional (and straying even further from the idea of changesets).
> These models are very unsafe because people (not me) aren’t able to tell fact from fiction.

People who aren’t able to tell fact from fiction are unsafe, not the model.
I’m in 100% agreement. It’s difficult handling reviews of juniors in the current model, as you have to address the fir usage first and how to avoid these type of issues ITA BeFORE getting to the review at hand.

The features already exist and the topic doesn't indicate how they would get any better.
Is the purpose of your Amazon box to last forever? No.

They said at the very start, the purpose is to be able to CHEAPLY and QUICKLY produce and deliver beds when disaster strikes. If you've months to prepare, then you can buy and ship decent beds from anywhere in the world via sea/train/truck. But if you absolutely positively need 10,000 beds tomorrow? This is the answer.
it is reasonable to charge for training, or require to work for some time if the training allows you to get a higher paying job. but the cost of the training, and the time that you need to stay in the job afterwards need to be reasonable too.

for example in germany, a 3-month training allows a 2 year binding to the job. repay clauses only trigger if the employee quits voluntarily and doesn't have a strong reason to quit. i couldn't find anything about the cost of the training, but i guess this should be industry average. pilot training is expensive everywhere, and medical training can be too i guess. but i would expect the training should allow you to demand a salary high enough to pay it off in a reasonable time.

the first example in the article is clearly demanding to much. as is mentioned further down, $20,000 is the average cost, which for a two year binding would mean the cost/repay-value is about $830 per month. still seems high, but if the training allows you to demand that much more for your salary then it would be ok.
i had a z10, shittiest speaker I ever had. almost killed my father when he had a heart attack, I couldn't understand the operator lady on my emergency call. thankfully they sent people over and he's still alive.
I am sorry? You would "prefer" 100 real beds to 1000 cardboard beds when there is a need for 1000 beds? That's nice, the rest 900 people can sleep on the ground as along as this is your preference.
After fifty years locked up, of course he had a mental illness. It's amazing he was still sapient.
I wonder what his inner experience was like those 50 years. Terry said that when your life is empty, God gives you clairvoyance to fill the void. Wonder if it was the same for this guy.
Unfortunately, I think it's likely that many of us would have mental problems if we went fifty years without talking to another human.

Getting the code right to compute how to drive the outputs when you have good inputs isn't the hard part. It's what happens when things overheat or time out or disconnect or get noisy that's hard; usually you'd just reset but the Onewheel can't do that while you're driving.
Any hope of seeing this ported to the Raspberry Pi?
There's plenty of state governments doing this just fine without the help of AI.

if a company terminates the employee then any repay clauses should become void. that's the case in germany for example. repay clauses only trigger if the employee quits without cause.

This is not really accurate. OCSes like this have been used for a long time in telecom, and we've proposed their use in datacenters in various ways as research, but this is this the first large scale datacenter deployment that I'm aware of. It's quite nice to see it being published.

(* I was at Google when this was happening but have no relationship to it; I was publishing competing/collaborating work on OCSes with the UCSD folk a decade ago)

> Yes, that is absolutely what I meant.

> That doesn't mean that it operates at the specific level of bosons or the force of gravity, which is what I read your comment as suggesting.

This is a contradiction.

If something is as fundamental as bosons, then it operates at the same level as bosons. Otherwise, it's not as fundamental as bosons. It could be more fundamental, it could be less.

I gave the examples of tensegrity and fluid dynamics above. That they're not as fundamental as quantum fields doesn't make them any less real. They're just not as fundamental.

So which is it?

> It's been a pleasure conversing -- I sadly no longer have time to continue, but these are exactly the kinds of debates philosophers of consciousness have -- there's a lot to clarify and figure out! It's a fascinating field.

I understand. I'm leaving my response for anyone else who agrees with you to pick up should they choose.
I find this trivially answerable with my own, limited imagination:

1. We couldn't have gotten to where we are without fossil fuels and a bounty of oxygen in the air (but not so much to be dangerous). So the conditions and time scales may not be so simple or average.

2. You're pesuming hyper-intelligent races even have the desire to spread themselves like a plague into the universe. Resources are distinctly finite, why waste unfathomable amounts of energy and labor "exploring" pointlessly when, instead, most of the population can just digitize themselves and live in an eternal, simulated heaven as they sip on resources slowly and only expand when absolutely necessary. This also minimizes the risk of encountering aggressive neighbors.
> This is the first thought that comes to mind: there's no way to bail, 0% chance. It's just completely not-an-option to fail on such a device at cruising speed

This is completely false. Bailing off these things at a variety of speeds is absolutely a skill you can learn. Some bails can be ran put, some are better handled with a roll or a controlled slid on your gear. Higher speeds always carry higher risks in a fall, but "cruising speed" is an individual choice and can easily be one of that you have the skills to safely bail at.

There are always risks, like in any extreme sport, but those risks can be managed with the combination of skills, equipment and good judgement.

I do highly recommend that people who want to buy a device like this take the time to learn the risks and not rush themselves to ride at high speeds before they build their skills and understand their equipment.
To be clear, I don't think this is the business of governments and nobody should be coerced to have or not to have children.

I believe that in case of population collapse, the solution will naturally appear to large enough number of people, evolution shaped us to reproduce, I don't think this instinct is likely to disappear, even if we might not fully understand it and why girls and women tend to have less children in some conditions (it happened before, in antiquity, and was considered to be a problem by Roman politicians, many of the current traditions around marriages were first created as laws...)
I've been an active skateboarder, snowboarder, and surfer for 25 years, and have ridden a One Wheel XR for about three years.

All are different in terms of most of the skills needed to do any of them.

The One Wheel is much more like a snowboarding in soft powder than it is like skateboarding, but even then, it's not quite the same. There's a sort of softish center pivot feeling, where on a snowboard it depends on where your edges are.

Skill wise, you don't need any to make the One Wheel do what's advertised. You do need skill to ride it confidently, but you gain those skills as you use it.

I've had one very bad fall on the One Wheel, and it was bad. It slide out while going fast down a steep slippery/sandy hill, and then nosedived, which sent me cart wheeling, then whipped my heel into the ground, shattering it into 23 pieces. I was in bed for 6 months, and didn't walk without help for 12.

I actually think my other boarding skills made the injury worse. I reacted as if the board was a skateboard, where a sideways slide is something I'm super comfortable with and do on purpose. That reaction was to lean deep, counter to the forces of the slide. The big fat gripping tire of the One Wheel bit in, then acted as a fulcrum with my body as the lever, and I just went sailing.

The advice from the GP to have One Wheel-curious people try a skateboard first is indeed good advice. It won't teach you how to ride a One Wheel, but it will teach you how hard the ground is.
For what it's worth, I'm one of those people that you're looking for. Out of the 11 games I completed this year so far, the only AAA title I played is Tears of the Kingdom (and, if that counts as AAA, Satisfactory). Everything else is indies.

I got into Satisfactory really hard this year (450+ hours played) after seeing a friend play it. I previously tried Factorio based on a similar personal recommendation and a general sense of "I ought to like this", but put it down after 2 hours thinking mostly just "meh". In hindsight, I really do think it is the graphics.

I'm now somewhat "over" Satisfactory (at least until they add more stuff in the next updates) and thinking about how to explore the factory builder genre more. Factorio is still in my library, yet I feel no desire to go back to it, mostly based on visual appeal. If I want to see something that's just 90% grey and brown, I can just go see any DC or Marvel movie from the last decade, thank you very much. In fact, looking at the games I recently played, one of the connecting facets seems to be a vibrant color palette (Hollow Knight, Ori 1+2, Webbed, Bug Fables, A Short Hike, Fez, Chicory, to name a few).

Same reason why I don't plan on playing any of the From Software games, even though 250 hours of Hollow Knight confirms that I'm a glutton for punishment and thus in the main demographic for Dark Souls and friends. But if I'm going to die 100 times in one sitting, at least I want something pretty to look at as I do so.
The birthrate in most of the third world is also declining, fwiw, and most of these countries are becoming richer. Immigration is a good solution if you have a low-context, high-income country, that poor or chaotic neighbors want to live in, but that's not a given and won't work everywhere forever
That makes "git bisect" and "git blame" fairly useless. Please don't do that. Better to keep "oops" commits than squashing a series of logical changes into one monster commit.
I'm just trying to understand what you're saying because you yourself used the words "know anything".

So if your comment is not about knowledge but only experience then all you are saying is a simple tautology, ie the only way to experience something is to experience it.

This really doesn't hit on the nature of experience or how it is similar or different from knowledge.

Could a memory of an experience be implanted? Yes, such things happen. We experience imaginary things in dreams as well.

It seems problematic to conflate experience and knowledge, which you seem to be doing even while admitting they are different. You seem to argue that experience is a truer form of knowledge but I would push back and argue they are tangential.
I mean the planet is as warm as it was predicted to be 50 years ago based on the emissions scenario that played out. Considering the earth is hotter than it's been in 100,000 years I would say that's one of the greatest predictions in the history of earth sciences.

Rates are up. Inflation is up. Common sense is back.
Specialization is our superpower.

We could have targeted the space of all US financial institutions, but we decided to constrain ourselves to a cohort of banks who use a specific core vendor we are intimately familiar with. Turns out, the core is kind of a big factor regarding how the front & back offices interact, so most of these customers have similar processes (or are otherwise amenable to our happy path).

Our closest competition advertises integration with a wide range of core platforms (multiple vendors & offerings per). Our product can't touch a large % of our competitor's customer base, but for the core that ours does touch, we absolutely wipe the floor with them. It's not even close.

You may find that after you achieve total and unquestionable mastery over your first specialized vertical that a new path emerges for how to take things wide across the rest of the market. We are seeing this now.
Being strongly typed also helps! One other interesting thing is including the tests directly in the file you're writing in. To me, that will be incredibly helpful when doing certification and verification.
There’s not anything nearly as strong in the Bible. American Muslims are more affluent and highly educated than the average American, but also have significantly higher fertility rates (2.4 in 2017, versus 2.1 overall). Also, it’s not the “modern world.” The US fertility rate was above 3.0 the same decade we put a man on the moon.

I don't see why you wouldn't do both. I have always done both. I don't even make a distinction. But then I never go to an agency and say "find me a job" ... I apply for a job that the agency is advertising. Some are slippery and try to palm one of their crappier jobs on you "there is this amazing company I know you would be a great fit for..."

I think developing these memeplexes will be an important decider wrt what ideology looks like in in the next few centuries
I see the problem as being that Github's bad git tooling blocks people from mastery in Git and actively discourages high-quality commits.
My colleague once told me that the reason telecom providers took so long with Android software updates was because they had to verify that the phone meets regulatory requirements after the update. One of these requirements was being able to dial 112 (Europe's 911) very thoroughly. There was a legally prescribed process (by BNetzA, IIRC) for doing that in Germany. After a quick Google search, it seems like there is something like that mandated by the FCC in the US.

I wonder how the Pixel 4 passed it. Not just in the US, but in many countries.

> What does this mean? There's a runtime VM or compile time VM?

Compile time VM. It's used to run macros / templates / concepts. You can also run most code at compile time in a `static` block except for stuff that needs C calls. You can also compile the VM into a program and use it as a runtime VM (see https://github.com/beef331/nimscripter) which I do in my GUI lib. NIR should enable the compile time VM to run faster too, and possibly use JIT'ed code.
It’s a slightly different methodology, but Git Patch Stack has worked well for us over the past year. The CLI is a huge help.

Yes, but take this to the extreme and you have nodes who do not wish to censor literally fighting to get to censored, paying users.

The more the censored transactions build up, the easier it is for any honest node to swoop in, outpace the attacker and earn the rewards. And then those users now have a node who is willing to include their data - the incentive structure leads to these connections.

The point is that nodes who censor are giving up money to anyone else willing to include the data.

Who determines social status? It seems to be the people wanting this rule enforced and not any objective measure. To use Colbert as an example is frankly strange and telling of how arbitrary this line of thinking is, someone who earns $15m a year constantly makes fun of regular people who end up on the news or in awkward situations.

If I were to make a joke about blue-collar neo-nazis am I allowed to do that? I get the feeling most who nod along to this article would say yes and howl along in laughter, but that implies that min wage and racist ideology is of higher status than average wage and moderate ideology, which again makes absolutely no sense unless you come to the conclusion that there is no "up" and "down", just "us" and "them".

The way I see it everyone should be fair game for jokes.
"oops" commits are bad for this too (harder to find the regression when there's unrelated broken states), but you're right that it's less bad.

Note that you can bisect --first-parent if you want the "just find the topic branch that introduced this" behavior, without taking away the ability to find the actual commit!
