It's surveillance.

In an ideal world, your job performance would be measured by some combination of the amount of stories completed, balanced with the difficulty of the stories and the quality of the code delivered too. Not only would you avoid having to look over your employees' screens, you wouldn't even need to track time at all.

In the real world, these decisions are made by "managers" who think that things like hours, lines of code, surveillance, and using "approved software" are all good ways to measure the quality of the resulting product. They're the same ones pushing for return-to-office culture. They'll reward a dev who introduces bugs and then "burns the midnight oil" staying late to fix it, over the dev who writes clean code that doesn't crash in the first place.

I'd also argue that execution matters.
I kind of wish the calling convention for async didn't have await at all. What if instead of a special syntax for waiting on an async function you instead had a special syntax for _not_ awaiting. If you want a copy of the future then there is an alternate syntax.

What I really want is for my synchronous and asynchronous code to be a lot more transparent and not force my hand depending on whether I'm calling from a synchronous or asynchronous context. I know this is a really difficult ask because of the lack of knowledge of what runtime to use when calling an async task in the context of a synchronous call...

Its the coloring problem I ultimately hate fighting against. There are definitely times that I care about it, long running blocking synchronous calls and getting a handle on a Future are really the only ones I can think of and they tend to be the exception not the norm.
Don't both-sides this. The side that is pro childcare is also pro paid parental leave.
How is it possible if a length of input data going to SHA-256 is one of the required inputs for SHA-256?
Yes, especially since the use case for virtual threads is so niche.
> Practicing BDSM in a long term relationship is actually a good way to make it healthier, and many of the things that are good for one (communication, boundaries, self-knowledge) are good for the other.

That's very black and white. More realistically, "practicing or exploring BDSM if parties are interested and curious".

When I spent a lot more time than I do now in the BDSM scene, there was definitely a subset (and I'm not including you in this - though the ... fetishization ... of BDSM as a 'superset' of a normal relationship is a part of it) of people who had (with varying degrees of subtlety/bluntness) an attitude of sniffing and looking down their noses... "Ohhhh... you're just a vanilla person, are you?" like they were missing out on something.

Nothing wrong with vanilla. Nothing wrong with BDSM. Either can be good.

In reverse, it's interesting the connotation - people rarely suggest "Have you tried removing BDSM from your relationship to see if that will make it healthier?" because they don't want to accept that - for some people - it may be exactly that.
What's wrong with that? if my kid doesn't go to public school, i should be able to take my contribution to that and use it for what i moved him to (charter school or homeschool) etc.

Heyyy, CueCat club! Funny that QR codes are everywhere these days and people actually scan them; Digital Convergence was just ahead of their time.

I have keyboards with mag-stripe readers, keyboards with smart-card readers, keyboards with assignable and relegendable keys (meant for point-of-sale usage), 6DOF 3D "SpaceMouse" devices, a 5-axis Lexip Pu94 mouse, I've mapped an R/C quadcopter transmitter into a wireless joystick [1], and last year I finally bought my first USB gamepad. (To play Stray.)

I was recently digging into some details of the BlackMagic keyboard and it sounds like it's super difficult to remap the jog dial for other uses, what do you use yours for?

Do they need to explicitly contrast the situation with Unity in the headline to avoid being misleading?

Headlines don't have a lot of space!

And as I said in a different comment, the subheading seems to address the main complaints, and in most situations you'd see the headline and the subheading together.
I don't think so generally. I've been doing this for a few decades, and it seems to me that overall it's no more difficult or easier than it ever has been. All of the points you make have always been the case, at least during my career. Engineers even older than me tell me the same was true before my career began as well.

In the zoomed-in view, there are some things which are definitely harder and others which are easier. But overall? I don't see a difficulty difference.
It wasn't a mainstream gaming platform, true. But the productivity and development tools available would absolutely run rings around what was available for DOS. Easily worth the price if you needed it.

Anyway my main point was that DOS was nearly as primitive then compared to state of the art as it would be considered today.

I find it intriguing. It makes sense that this new kind of "thing" (LLMs) could be "programmed", and that you could craft a language specifically for it's abilities.
I've read the tutorials but I still find it hard to wrap my head around it.

Have you heard of any other language like this? Or had success using SudoLang?
Yes, GP was a layperson using "laundering" imprecisely as a proxy for "using for state-sponsored criminal activity."

Your rebuttal, while pedantically correct, does not refute their larger point that Bitcoin greatly aids ransomware.

Furthermore, I'd argue it is easier for ransomware groups to transfer large values of illicitly-gained Bitcoin across borders without the possibility of interception by authorities. This is a key step in international money laundering.

I think a lot of this depends on how you arrange your windows.

I've used a bunch of monitors in the past, but found that my neck started to hurt after looking to the side too much. And having the bezels right in the middle of your view makes the most valuable real estate effectively unusable (unless you have 3!). 4 32's would be way too much for me, no doubt.

Having a single widescreen monitor has been better for me. Most of the time I'm not maximizing its use, but when I want to combine a bunch of views at once, it's quite valuable. Like when I'm running a performance test while keeping tabs on a bunch of monitoring.

I think you're right that virtual workspaces are great, especially if you dedicate them for discrete purposes.
That's the only reason I ever log into Windows. Such an atrocious OS.
Overshooting Earth’s Boundaries: An Interview with Bill Rees
I wish mathematicians or philosophers or biologists or neurologists or psychologists would outline a definition of what intelligence is, outside of machine machine learning or ai, so that we could learn something.

For example a gorilla was able to learn sign language. Domestic animals can recognize objects or words. Orcas are social and intelligent.

I'm a bit curious why computer scientists don't try to map or examine real neural structures.
That’s the halting problem, I’m referring to busy beaver numbers.
You can hear things that are going faster than the speed of sound, so I don't see why something that is outrunning its own light would be invisible. You wouldn't see it coming, but you would see it leaving. If it's not transparent then you'd see its shadow, if it smashed its way through a planet you'd see the hole, etc.

It's a difference in quality large enough to constitute a difference in kind. Autocorrect nominally takes text in your own words as typed and converts them into your words as intended. Chatgpt used as you describe does not produce text in the author's own words.

It seems to me by design or by indifference Java is now tired of JVM ecosystem languages at large who claim innovation by surface level changes while relying heavily on JVM bedrock.

Now Java is moving fast and they are taking JVM compiler, runtime, class metadata etc along where Java, the language is headed.

My 16 year old son is autistic and mostly nonverbal. He has been making some great progress on this app lately: https://speakforyourself.org/
That being said, as a parent you really have to work with him on it. It isn't easy to build it into his daily routine. It also helps to have his teachers on board with it. That is why I think he has improved on so much recently.
It is also very expensive at $300 but, in terms of making a difference to his life, it is well worth it.
And progressives say that we cant means test anything because... there is always someone above the limit.

The solution is simple: an income bases subsidy that gradually decreases with no welfare cliff.
I don't think it would like flying through our atmosphere.
The argument no one has brought up yet: why should society have to pay up even more for breeders' personal choices?

People without kids have to pay higher taxes (via rebates for parents), utilize less resources (public schools), effectively subsidizing people who want to have kids.

I'm all for protecting what's best for children, but I am not happy with people having children they cannot adequately support, causing other people to need to pay for them.
Good oppertunity to get those things up to speed.
haha, you know, he's not a scientist in our current definition. His career and personal life is much more important than the star which is 7200 light years away. Checked the history a bit, he seems to be very successful and served emperor for multiple decades.
You know you've lost the plot when even child care is looked at through the lense of capitalistic markets.

Was the “uncesorable money” declaration part of the original vision or marketing tacked on to bitcoin.org?

If the former, Satoshi at least thought many governments would try to make it illegal.
It occurs to me that the root here might lie in 17-18th century philosophy: British Empiricism v. European Rationalism. Empiricism defers to the world, and builds knowledge bottom-up. Rationalism defers to the mind and its abstract ideas, which try to impose themselves top-down on an unsuspecting world.

Spoiler alert ... in any conflict, the world wins.

Obviously 19-20th century philosophy continues the tradition, with the Europeans contributing Marx (his -ism, with followers in Russia, China, and beyond!), cultural-Marxism, existentialists and post-modernists (mostly German in 19th century, then mostly French in the 20th).

Meanwhile, the Anglo-sphere had to fight (I mean really fight and die, not just oppose) all these ridiculous European ideologies, to defend Western Civ and uphold Enlightenment ideas.
I do not disagree that this was a peaceful move, I rather disagree that Yasser Arafat is an example of someone getting the peace prize despite acting against American/Western interest.

Because "RAG" is shorter than "use a vector db/embeddings coupled with LLM to generate better answers"

But better answer: "retrieval augmented" has been used in papers since at least 2018 [1], the full "RAG" acronym since at least 2020 [2], and it was recently repopularized when the GPT3+ hype wave realized they were doing the same thing.

To me, leaving aside whether a dating AI should offer sexual advice (and I think it should) or whether a company should be in a realm it's obviously not entirely comfortable being in...

this isn't a Product Manager issue. I see an extremely simple solution to the practical affect of this: delay rendering until it has passed the censorship layer. And provide a simple 'neutral' explanation, "that's not an area I'm able to discuss", versus the very Clippy-like "Woah, it looks like you're trying to learn about red flag things..."
A silly pet idea I have is that while time didn't literally pass slower, there was less overall entropy in the world back then. There were fewer people working on fewer things, so less new things happened overall. Today there are more people working on more things, so the rate of new things happening is higher, and thus the perception of time passing faster.
That's a really interesting observation. Having been in enterprise for a long time I think there are 3 things that I've seen make a big improvement on the health of a system after a decade or more.

1. Longevity of Engineers: Attrition is a killer from a knowledge perspective. Teams that keep their engineers have healthier systems

2. Avoid Over Abstraction: Simple understandable code is easier to maintain. Too many mid level engineers go overboard with abstraction and bad abstraction is worse than no abstraction.

3. Choose tech that is likely to be well maintained decades later. It's better to pick tech that will be well maintained than to pick tech that is better in some way but more obscure and more likely to poorly maintained in decades.
I would assume that #2 is actually "yes" given the way derived works work and the fair use tests, and that #1 and #2 are actually very much linked. Fair use is a defense to copyright infringement, and it's a relatively complex balance of factors. It's relatively inarguable (even OpenAI isn't arguing this) that the model isn't a derivative work of its training set: they are just arguing that they have fair use rights to the contents of the training set. Only one of the factors in a fair use analysis is how transformative the use is, and I think it's hard to argue that training an LLM isn't a huge transformation. However, the other factors weigh pretty heavily against LLMs here, and the Author's Guild lawsuit is a pretty good set of arguments as to why. It's up to a court to decide whether the transformative nature outweighs the other factors.

If you're lumping the fair use question into #1 and the "is it a derived work" question is #2, I'm pretty sure that nobody on any side of this agrees that it isn't a derived work. Once you have a derived work, you can either ask whether they were licensed to produce that work (no) or whether it was fair use (possibly).

From what I got from the article the McKinsey survey, this is the actual revenues from transactions fees including but not limited to UPI. Not the adjacent revenues.

That's true, but again, him attempting to put himself as the gatekeeper of who can and cannot train/utilize advanced AI systems at scale gives him (almost) unilateral control over Nvidia's own AI chip manufacturing business. Deny startups the ability to train AI systems, and you deny Nvidia the opportunity to sell them their chips. Nvidia loses that revenue stream and stops producing AI chips due to high production costs and "lack" of demand. Ultimately leading to a market where only the obscenely wealthy companies who can manufacturer their own in-house chips can train AI, and even then, Sam Altman can deny even that.

One trend I have noticed on X and similar platforms (Mastodon) is that a lot of people really don't seem to like comments on their threads. It didn't seem like this when I was on Twitter before 2017 but today it seems widespread.

Some of it is that people have gotten in the habit of replying to themselves in long threads which doesn't really work right with the user interface on any of these sites under any conditions, but certainly not when somebody replies to what the OP thinks is the wrong toot.

And then some people just get pissed that somebody made a reply that didn't mirror them 100% and they post some image with angry text and the caption "... would you believe somebody posted this lame-ass reply within 15 minutes of my post?" (Don't most replies come pretty quickly?)

All these sites could use a dramatically better UI for showing the reply tree of a post but I think people have gotten downright nasty.
The thing about learning in general is that it inherently introduces biases. I imagine you could train up a genocidal maniac LLM with the right data sets.
The challenge here is if their English skills are so poor that they need a ML model to help make it readable, their English skills are likely so poor that they will not spot grammatical changes that adjust the meaning of the work. That's a problem when the next person finds that paper on Google Scholar and cites it - you get a telephone game in the literature. It's hard to remove bad "facts" from the literature after a few people cite it, since you also need to go after a whole chain of papers, hoping their journals are willing to issue a correction. God help you if it's in the intro section and the authors complain because of academia's "corrections are bad" mindset. Anything that increases the BS rate of the literature is a bad thing.

Also, if you go to contact the author or view a talk, and suddenly their English is broken and completely different than what they wrote, you start questioning whether they wrote it or paid someone to without disclosing it.

IMO it's worth disclosing for many of the same reasons you disclose funding, ethics approval, author contributions, and conflicts of interest at the end of an article: it's metadata that protects your credibility as an author by showing that you're not doing anything underhanded.
No that's like antithetical to the entire concept of taxes in general and their use for all. Government services are not a market and should not be. We pay for everyone's schooling because educated people make a better democracy. If you decide the public system isn't for you, why should you have any entitlement to not continue to pay for everyone else's children like everyone else?
It never was "definitely going to happen" last year.
You don’t deserve the downvotes and I will upvote you. Setting aside childish “but it’s not fair!” arguments this inevitably attracts - is the poster asking for us to assign “fault” based on a legal definition or some ill-defined moral code one?

Employment contract will define the former.

Outside the legal fault my interpretation of facts is - they don’t want to employ you anymore because they don’t feel like dealing with your crap and you are not valuable enough where they would rather go through the inconvenience of finding your replacement rather than tolerate the hassle off putting up with you.

Personally as an employee - I wouldn’t like it either and would probably find another job.

As an employer - I would also get rid of an employee if their contribution does not outweigh the costs of keeping them, both tangible and intangible.

It might have some limited ability for updates if the hardware had the model code but the weights were in memory that was updatable.

It might do in-context learning even without that.

I have not read The Ethical Slut so without commenting on the specifics, but agreed. I was in a long term, very open (kinky, BDSM) relationship with someone, but on the topic of opening things up, there was some guilt applied. "Perhaps if you were more progressive, you'd be into it..." as if dozens of other "progressive" traits in me, sexual or otherwise, were insufficient. It was very much an "unethical" approach at trying to introduce openness.
