We don't really use connections but a pool of workers to process requests.

Having http server tightly coupled with the database server makes for a responsive combo.

We are still blocking workers, but prototyping improvements that will alleviate this.

Beautifully said. I can add only that the right pattern of prompts may drive the creation of legitimately useful and even beautiful work. Humans need to guide the machines, maybe precisely because they lack the evolutionary drive that gets us up in the morning and keeps us cleaning our babies' behinds.

I got as far as an assembled open book with what I believe is a short under the scard slot last year. This video just brought it back to my attention and now I'm going to try to get it working.
This is the case with all neural nets/black box AI models and a lot are used in various industries.
It depends on how you define "grain". What I personally observed during COVID was anti-vaccine people made a bigger noise than the scientific community.
That doesn't matter in this context. They are objectively hurting the creators that made the content.
LLMs are a step function change in computers
But we do manage to remember stuff that happened "quadrillions" of tokens (of sensory input) back. Sure, we are wrong a lot, but we have a context that goes way back. A LLM has a fruit fly's version of what we work with, although in some versions it has perfect recall in that context.
Some of those “OS”es did launch, but theyve been rebranded to SDKs

You missed two earlier ones. The Olivetti M24 (also sold as the AT&T 6300 in the US) was released in 1983 and used the 8086 CPU.

Where has it been proven that HCQ does work, and for what exactly? What actual studies have proven this?
Is it Logitech S/W in the kernel?

The article mentions it was fixed in 6.6 but I did not see any mention of when it was introduced. I have not experienced the issue on 6.1 (Debian Bookworm) and wonder if 6.1 doesn't do that or if I've been lucky.
Hey sorry this is unrelated to this post, but a couple months ago you posted a link to a barbell plate calculator you wrote hosted on AWS. I was hoping you could share the unminified JS for it somewhere (github or something)? I want to potentially tweak it to avoid out-of-order plate ordering. Thanks for writing it btw!
No, CPU is irrelevant, even the early chipsets didnt try to invent anything and mostly implemented XT peripherals leading to universal exchangeable clone bioses. OP didnt suggest otherwise, he simply mentioned author also publishes a couple open source 8088 motherboard projects:

Yes. This also happens on luxury goods: if you're selling hotel rooms on top of a casino, accepting Amex/Diner etc. is table stakes.

Cheaping out on processing fees or putting friction on the payment part will be a signal that you don't understand your customer and will potentially be nickel and diming the experience all the way down, which is clearly not the image you're trying to convey.
In the paper, they're talking about managing LLM context windows the way operating systems manage memory and files. They're not saying LLMs should be used as operating systems.
So many dead children contributed to this study. I can’t imagine having to be a researcher on this.
Yes, exactly - the Jubilee year has not been observed since either 70 CE or 720 BCE [0] so the laws of ger toshav no longer apply. The majority opinion is that the Jubilee (and hence these laws) will not be reinstated until the coming of the Messiah.

Good art will outlive its creator - either in the form of the work itself or through inspirations to others. The relation between a work of art and its creator cannot be "ownership like the physical sense" forever.

> Something tells me those same people would get very upset if we suggested their own work, code, or labor should be freely used by anyone who wanted to, including their employer. I’m guessing they like to be paid for their work

For the record, I think it should work like this: I'm an artist. You want art from me. You tell me what you want, I create it, you pay me. This is straightforward and obvious.

> People get to decide how much to charge for their work. If you don’t want to pay that amount, you are not entitled to receive it for free.

It costs many dollars to make copy 1 of Y. You worked, you should get paid for copy 1.

It costs 0 dollars to make copy 2 of something. Anything you think you should receive above 0 for copy 2 is only justifiable with moral entitlements to the money of other people.
But what’s the point then? If you’re going to make fake videos might as well just generate a completely new one with actors.
In web, IO is heavily intertwined with business logic and mutation. In fact most of the computation is done via the database. Database code is mutation heavy and offloaded as IO away from the web application. The web application is in fact just a thin routing layer.

It is not a one off case.
in theory with a mastery of speech recognization one would assume you could then apply that to any diction that has an accompanying ASL translator to derive ASL elements from the contexts given by the spoken word.

in practice that's all difficult, if at all possible -- but just sayin; we have decently good speech interpretation at this point, perhaps we aren't far from self-training ASL against something similar.

Let's be very clear here though, anybody that actually thought MRNA "experimentally modified genes" was not a high IQ critical thinker.

At least not one with any kind of direct, first, or second order connection to actual current biological | medical research.

That's the kind of crazy largely limited to self assessed high IQ types that never really got out in the wide world and talked to others in other fields.
I can fully see them eventually making it illegal and enforcing a new encrypted protocol to which they have the keys for. Obviously, such a setup would leak, but the people who make these rules think they are flawless and omniscient and think they could keep such keys private into perpetuity. They also assume that future government won't be even more totalitarian than them.
Transformers are a primitive we have not fully figured out yet. So it’s perfectly fine to see where this primitive fits.

For example, this week several papers on time series forecasts indicate they may have use there.

For example they seem to do better job on translation than previous approaches.

For example they seem to do a better job at transcription than previous approaches.

Probably will do better on OCR than previous approaches.

Probably has flaws that limits scenarios requiring high precision we may or may not overcome

Possibly will better on autonomous decision making (Does x include a privacy leak should be investigated?) than previous approaches (keyword scanning).

We are in a technological wave of discovery and experimentation, calls for restraint of curiosity and research betray fears
This is pretty smart.

We have wireless power with Qi/MagSafe, and at least MagSafe can pass a serial number.

You could use a “magic” charger through the box (assuming it’s laid out right) to charge the phone and tell it to go into update mode. It could look for some predefined WiFi/Bluetooth/whatever to get info and do what it needs to.

Apple already has full security on OS updates, so you couldn’t apply rogue updates without having a way to crack that.

This special mode could easily be disabled the moment someone starts setting up the iPhone, so it would only work on factory fresh (or perhaps wiped) devices to prevent funny business.
Yes, I know what it is. Here are some corrections.

1. XCB is a low level binding to the X11 protocol. It doesn't really replace Xlib. Originally that was the intention, but it's non-trivial to take an Xlib program and port it to XCB.

2. XCB doesn't know anything about scaling or even about XRandR, besides the wire protocol. Just because a client uses XCB is no guarantee that it even uses XRandR. It's definitely not a guarantee that it implements scaling.

3. There is no way to use XRandR correctly to allow multiple pitches, because XRandR doesn't have that functionality. All it does is report an estimated size of the monitor.

4. The scaling you're talking about is happening in the client, not in XCB or XRandR, and if it's ever going to work at all it needs to be controlled by some other setting or environment variable. Someone else in the thread posted a big set of those environment variables. Ideally you wouldn't use XRandR at all, there would be another extension.

5. None of the above applies to Qt, because Qt is a toolkit that does (mostly) implement the scaling for you. That's why it was weird you grouped it with XCB.

You miss the point. Those features do exist, and technically savvy folks like us use them (and they work fine with my asymetric connect). But the vast majority of users want YouTube/TikTok/etc to stream without a glitch and couldn't care less about backups, and as far as "high bitrate streams", pretty sure most users are thinking "works good on my iPhone, is good enough".
I always wondered about this. It feels like the information gets compressed or summarized a bit. I know this because when I previously had fraud charges I had to dispute the credit card company could report with some amount of accuracy the items that made up the transaction as well as in other transactions that they took the time to vet for fraud as well since they had me on the phone. It wasn’t brand or sku number granularity it was more categorical, clothing, maybe a sweater or something coarse like that. Perhaps the credit card companies do have this information but anonymize it a bit for the customer service folks?
These things (the ones you listed) aren't in fact that important to configure. What matters is that you disable password login. The rest of it is pretty performative. Small modulus finite field Diffie Hellman isn't how your server is going to get compromised. The server is going to accept the first algorithm the client proposes that's also supported by the server, which isn't going to be FFDH at all.
Lucky! I bet you have fantastic soil.

I recommend chopping them up with a mower (but don't bag them; leave them in place). The shredded leaves make a really great mulching layer just before winter, when grasses and other plants need that extra insulation, and then they break down and nourish the soil in spring when everything starts actively growing again.

Do this process year after year, and you will have an absolutely gorgeous garden before long. It's a really good reason to plant deciduous trees (especially those that shed a lot of leaves that are too heavy to blow away). But they take such a long time to grow; you are super lucky to have a mature one over your garden already!
Sure. How many people do you think it takes? (devs, qa, 1 manager for 10 non-managers).
I think it's probably worth displaying some of these remains if only to remind people that we're not some new idea, that we're mortal and fallible, and that people have been doing things for a very long time now. To remind us that what we know with utmost certainty to be true today may not be tomorrow.

As it is, humans spend insufficient time ruminating on the lessons of the past, in my opinion.

I'm not opposed to making them available for return to their cultural sources and communities, however. Worth also noting that despite the terrible circumstances of their acquisition, at least these remains will be painstakingly conserved in some of these institutions.
Precisely this. This doesn't solve anything and appears to be absurd techno-solutionism at this point.

Every single problem does not need to be solved using an LLM, which this paper tells us the amount of desperation in this hype cycle.

Those reading this paper and giving it credibility have fallen for this nonsense and are probably gullible enough to believe in this non use-case.

There's an unexplored (to my knowledge) middleground where copyright expires more rapidly with regards to derivative works, but not the original.

E.g. At x+10 anyone could make a new sequel to Zork, but the rights to the published Zork are retained for x+25

That feels fair.
Activision is also actively selling the Zork collection on Steam. I'd expect that to show up on Gamepass. It includes:

Zork I, Zork II, Zork III, Beyond Zork, Zork Zero, and Planetfall

That's putting a lot of trust in Apple. What else can they do when the is off.
> You're seriously making the claim that the BLS has nobody with your intelligence in a powerful position?

It has nothing to do with intelligence. And of course statisticians at BLS know that this is trash.

Any economics or statistics student could do be a better job. And certainly, no statistician worth their salt would compute anything with the methodology that BLS uses. I cannot imagine a paper being published based on this methodology. It's not that reviewers would reject it, it's that no one in a position to submit such a paper would ever do so because of the shame associated with doing such shoddy work. I'm not sure I'm doing a good job of explaining how incredibly subpar this is.

BLS has other priorities. Changing the methodology isn't easy at all. All of your old numbers don't make any sense anymore. You can't go back and recompute them. And people would fight over what methodology to use.

Everything they do follows this insane totally outdated approach, it would be really confusing to have parts that are modern and parts that are ancient; perhaps even more confusing than the current mess.

There are no incentives to change anything. Who will make them change something? Congress? They have a worksheet, they run it, they get numbers, garbage in/garbage out, people use the numbers regardless.

Hardly anyone knows how these numbers are computed. Hardly anyone cares that they are unscientific trash. Pretty much everyone stops at the title associated with the number.
Orthogonal in that you can have one without the other. Clearly, since loyalty programs predate self checkout by... decades, at least? I don't even really disagree on the rest, but I don't see self checkout as an obstacle to fixing those problems.
they are very clearly the most powerful technological innovation i've witnessed in my adult life. we don't even know what they're capable of yet, we're like one year into discovering practical usecases and they are improving at a constant dizzying rate. this is the time for exploration and experimentation.
It's pretty hard to play, unfortunately. It runs in a strange dos box and the "terminal" is pretty ugly to deal with.
You are missing the point; none of what you said refutes what you were replying to. While the civilian leadership does have the authority to order the military to stand around, get shot for a while, and go home having achieved nothing, presumably that's not what they actually asked for or wanted. Getting into the situation where you go to war that you're not going to be able to win absolutely represents a failure on the part of the military; perhaps not a failure of procurement or management, but very much a failure of leadership, which is exactly what OP originally said.
and what does that have to do with BIOS? The only way you can tell 88 from 86 apart in software is speed and executing self modifying code to measure processor 4 vs 6 byte prefetch queue depth buffer size difference.

Fair enough. I'm still excited!
Every time something is described as opinionated.
However, the very premise of techno feudalism is that they do not pay taxes, rather, it's them, who collect the rents.

(Possibly with the prospect of these rents increasingly replacing taxes, as traditional territorial hegemonies are losing legitimacy.)
Gift cards are a scam even when used "correctly". Its whole purpose is to convert fungible money into something worse and conning you into thinking it's a good deal.
Whatever they've wanted to since they started shipping the product, the same as every other manufacturer. If "Apple is secretly after me and others" or "I can't trust that Apple is sufficiently secured against a 3rd party turning their devices against me" is your threat vector then owning an Apple (or other's) device has always been problematic for you and does not change with plans of them updating the firmware in store.
I guess the actual way is like `where run_at <= now() order by (run_at+max_latency)`
Me.

Ironically enough, my Dell laptop arrived without a working wifi card. They had a bios update at some point which made it less crap, but I had to replace it after the nth time where it seemingly just randomly turned itself off /hard crashed.

Now that I think of it, I must have some really bad luck. Every single laptop I have owned, has has a wifi issue at some point.

> All copyright is way too long but authors go completely off-piste at anyone who suggests that it should be something more reasonable (I kinda like 21 years myself).

> Part of the issue is that the loudest voices are that 0.01% of authors whose work still has some commercial value decades after its creation.

My favorite scheme is that all copyright last for 10 years by default. You can register it for $100 for another 10 years. And every 10 years after that, the cost goes up by 100x. That way commercial works that are very economically valuable can be protected for a pretty long time, but everything makes it into the public domain relatively quickly.

Maybe the numbers need to be tweaked a bit, but I think the idea is fundamentally sound.
I like this. It seems similar to `if let Some(value) = option` in Rust, with `?` replacing the pattern matching and supporting multiple assignments.

Rather than something like this:

if let Some(a) = option_a; let Some(b) = a.option_b {
...
} else {
...
}

you'd have something like this:

if let b = option_a?.option_b? {
...
} else {
...
}

(Pseudocode for both examples.)

Publishers have a vested interest in keeping supply reigned in. They aren't just competing with each other, but their past catalog. By not keeping the entire catalog conveniently available they help get buyers to bite more often on their new projects.

Canada has always had far better statistics than the US. Both for CPI and for unemployment. This often leads to Canada looking worse, for example, by having a higher unemployment rate, when instead, Canada just has a much better way of counting who is actually unemployed.

> There is no internationally agreed upon method for housing/shelter

Agreed. But, I think that we can also agree that basing most of the number on asking people what the imaginary rent of their home might be is totally worthless.

> In the Canadian CPI paper there is some explanation towards the complexities of shelter / owner accommodation:

And you'll note that Canada doesn't use Owners' Equivalent Rent, never mind making it the majority of the index. Instead it actually computes what it would likely cost to rent that dwelling: mortgage, replacement cost, property taxes, maintenance, and other costs. That's a far more rational way of doing it.
