Why would that implicate you on terrorism charges?

You aren't responsible for what people post online.
Anyone can post anything on a forum and you may be looking at it because of other interesting stuff doesn't mean you have bad intentions.

I think it's mainly paranoia, I still think the odds of falsely being charged with terrorism are incredibly low.
It's not feasible to transport Starship or Super Heavy halfway across the Pacific. Even if you could, the launch site on Omelek Island is part of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site[1] which is controlled by the US military. The Republic of the Marshall Islands never has access to the restricted technology.

It's hard to overstate how restrictive ITAR is. For example, ITAR covers generation 3 night vision devices. The US is hesitant to allow their export to allies, even for peaceful purposes.[2] When I bought a night vision device, I had to sign an acknowledgement that I wouldn't take it out of the country or even allow non-citizens to look through it (even on US soil). People caught violating these rules can be imprisoned for years.

I kind of dislike the term "Prompt Engineering". It mystifies what to me is an ordinary process. I'm not talking about chanting magic words, i'm just talking about taking the structure of an LLM into account, even taking how humans would approach the problem into account.

In microsoft's agi paper, there is a test for planning they put out for GPT-4. They give detailed instructions on the constraint of a poem and expect it to spit out the constrained poem in one shot. Of course it fails and the conclusion is that it can't plan. But if you think about it, this is a ridiculous assertion. No human on earth would have passed that test with working memory alone. Even by our standards, it's a weird way to present the information but they did so anyway. This is actually a major issue for most plan benchmark assessment for LLMs i've come across.

These are the kind of problems i'm talking about. If i changed the request to encourage for a draft/revise generation process and it consistently passed these tests then it's very fair to say it can plan. That's not "hacky". It's just truth. and saying otherwise is denying real world usage for a misplaced sense of propriety to benchmarks. a benchmark is only as useful as the capabilities it can assess.

a "this is how this is presented, this is how the model performed" would have been very prudent in my opinion. Maybe these guys already covered the kind of things i'm talking about(i can accept that!)....but i can't know that if they don't tell us.

I meant Swift. Golang compiles fast enough to be comparable with interpreted languages coding patterns. Swift by being a compiled language, also have awkwardness here and there when it comes to type-checking where TypeScript is much more reasonable. (Go is being reasonable on type-checking by doing less on type-checking in general. Swift tries to do a lot but there are just some coherency in how certain types were treated, most infamously the existential types v.s. non-existential types).

So funny that this came up today! I just had a developer reach out to me about whether we had a backend Swift SDK at my current company (stytch.com), or if we'd seen anybody else use us with Vapor.

Googled around to get some more context on Vapor's history and sure enough, found this thread from today.

Sounds like I should point him away from Vapor in your opinion?
Thanks for pointing out the evaluation methods and actually being doing some metrics on the outcome from LLMs myself.

I bet more on now adjusted knowledge on top of generated content based on facts/ nonsense scoring that can be harvested for feeding reasoning graphs with kind of auto balancing.

Less resources and high impact will make the difference on long term.
If you don't have enough reaction mass (for which water sometimes qualifies) to get out of orbit, having air but no water (rather than water but no air) just means you die three or four orders of magnitude more slowly. Maybe someone can lauch a rescue mission within a matter of days, but given how slow most space programs move these days, I'm not optimistic.
That's a different flag. The website says you should enable "Swap Processes on Cross-Site Window Open"
You're attributing way more malice than I think is warranted. Take a breath, friend. I've been largely calm and collected in this conversation, but you've (ironically) raised this to a higher adversarial point. I have no ill will towards you.

Funny enough, I tried to get a gov job recently. A chief data officer job in a niche group which I think I'd do a damn good job at. They denied me immediately because I don't have a degree, despite my qualifications. So yeah, I actually agree to a point that joining gov can be a way to 'fix things'... but, welp?

But even further, I have tried working with gov agencies on issues I've felt deep anguish towards. In late 2019 I did a significant amount of free data analysis of Chicago's parking tickets for the Chicago mayor's office to show how excessive ticketing can be. They reached out to me, they said they loved the work, but did shit-all with it. Later that year, the mayor ended up doing a 180 on the desire to have more-just ticketing policies. A month after I gave them that analysis, in a FOIA lawsuit trial, the city's counsel threw me under the bus by arguing that my end goal in that litigation is to gain access to their data so that I can modify it. Completely baseless argument that actively ignored that I put significant effort in trying to help with the highest office of the city. For free. So dude? I've fucking tried. In the end the city acted (and acts!) like a bully for the sole purpose of winning their cases. When that's the standard of behavior we receive, it's a damn wonder we even try to make any intentional effort to be kind.

Also, when I've been told over the phone and email countless times, "we are not obligated to answer questions under the law"... even for the most basic of things.. it's pretty clear where the disconnect is.

I could go on with these stories, but since it really sounds like you didn't read the article I shared -- please do, and you might better see where many of us are coming from.
In my opinion, the invocation is of pro-Israel sentiment, nore than anti-Muslim. Although of course, the former is bolstered by the latter.

From MJD's post: I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?

But they never do.

FWIW, MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" attempts to deal with this lack, though, even there, it was an unofficial course taught in 2020 between terms, during MIT's IAP -- Independent Activities Period[1] -- and not an actual CS course.

Read the last sentence of their abstract: "Identifying a fifteenth-century painting of a handaxe does not change what we know about Acheulean individuals, but it does push back the evidence for when handaxes became a prominent part of the ‘modern’ social and cultural world."

That clearly Indicates the authors believe the painter and his contemporary society of modern 15th century peoples already had a culture of appreciation for the objects as pre-historic axes, that their so-called finding "pushes back the date" for this appreciation. That is literally their thesis and conclusion.

That argument is reductive. They are saying that the painting is evidence that early modern people believed axe-theory because the authors have identified the rock in the painting as an axe from axe-theory. Everything else is speculation. It is complete garbage with a motive to push archeological axe-theory for academic crumbs. It is a desperate attempt to scrape empirical evidence for imaginary archeologies.

Actually, this incorrect, soils naturally acidify through nutrient loss (e.g. natural minerals) and the breakdown of nitrogen fertilizers. And soil have been amended with limestone (and volcanic soils) for a very long time.

In fact, terrestrial enhanced rock weathering (ERW) was created to replace the cost of liming fields for farmers, which leads to the release of carbon. Many farmers are open to it because they need to balance their soil's ph. Which as you said, is important to farmers because the land "is the tool the farmers use to make their living" therefore, you can consider ERW/liming as the maintianence on their tool...
you're being too negative, it's as if you don't understand "worse is better".

>If you read /proc, you must "read" each file with one unbuffered kernel read to be free of race conditions.

you make this sound like it's some arcane and tricky incantation; it's totally normal, like saying "to walk, put one foot in front of the other". It's unix file I/O 101, bufferless file operations are always atomic, it's a feature. There is absolutely no problem making atomic reads from files, it's a massive fucking feature.

The point is not that this is the best conceivable way to get this information, but that by making this information available this way by default, you can write and leverage all sorts of shell scripts while you are noodling at your keyboard. You don't very often need to turn your keyboard noodling into a 6-sigma 5-nines server, but if you know how to rip through this type of keyboard noodling, I'd trust you a lot more when it comes to uptime than all the people who show up at meetings ranting about 6-sigma and 5-nines while they cite Dave Cutler.

btw linux the /proc text file tree has already been supplanted by a binary "restatement" of the same and more data. I think this is more in keeping with the standard unix/solaris /proc approach, but it's not something I've had a need to look into much.

> Clearly the solution is... build roads from olivine! :D Collectively, roadways are "naturally" subject to a huge amount of mechanical weathering, which currently mostly just generates asphalt microplastics.

Nah, asphalt microparticles are in the end just very viscose oil and rock dust from the filler. The microplastics from roads come from tire wear and brake dust.
So, how do you share credentials with new employees with your current setup? Then, to further upon your "change password" story: how do you propagate out the changed password to the remaining audience who still need it?

Look, on the one hand, shared credentials are a nightmare and should be avoided; on the other hand, there are differing organizational maturity levels so I'll gladly take "here is the URL to the Legacy Vendor Login" over "well, I put the password in our Magic Password Excel in Dropbox lolol"

This is high, unless you are a platform as a service, effectively selling the compute on to customers. Add on the free tiers subsidy (for growth!) and it make sense then.

If you are selling just software and 80% of that is on the cloud you are undercharging or wasting crazy resources.
Specifically what would you do about your teeth? Isn't a lot of it genetics?
I looked into cloud, but it's just not really feasible. It really is possible to do a lot with a little at home.

I'm using about 60-100W for my home-prod, and a lot of it is "older". I'm running about 15 small VMs at any given time these days, and probably 20 containers.

I think my biggest single draw is the Mikrotik CCR1036 in the garage, but it saved me from buying new gear. Sure there's a break even point with hydro, but that's years in the future when the device is free. It's also pretty fun to watch VPN connections testing at 700Mbps from home.

I don't really care about uptime, and I've got gigabit fibre to the house, so bandwidth isn't a huge problem. It worked fine on 300/60Mb cable too.

Ryzen 3 2200G, 32GB RAM, 1T NVMe, 10TB HDD. This one runs services.

> However my style and approach to problems is more in alignment with GCP. I am for example of the opinion that the cloud provider should take care of everything linked to infrastructure, maintenance and as well scaling.

You get that on AWS, too. The difference in my experience has been that once you’re out of a narrow range of features you’re more likely to hit something which is builtin on AWS but has a GCP ticket from 5 years ago with no progress. If you have any kind of security compliance requirements that gets brutal on GCP since you have to take on running an entire service to get that one missing feature.
Please fact check the emerald mine thing. From what I understand it is wildly overblown, his estranged dad had a couple shares, that's all. The fact that it has gathered so much steam fits perfectly into a Manufactured Consent style narrative.

The advent of CSP really ruined the bookmarklet party, because the browser would obey the CSP headers, rather than the user whose computer the browser was running on, preventing a slew of bookmarklets from working due to script loading being "forbidden" by the server whose pages you were trying to run your bookmarklet on. By the time browser makers finally tried to address that, the damage was already done.
lmao make me want to play lemmings
They have one if you followed that link. But, to your point, no point trying to sell one without infrastructure!

A friend in San Diego had a Toyota Mirai, only available to lease, and had to therefore refuel at the station off Del Mar Highlands road. There's just no infrastructure.

Any business that you can run from a home server
with a residential business line is not the kind
of business we are talking about here.

What kind of business are we talking about here? What does the "taking off" in your previous post mean, exactly?

Depends on what you're trying to do.

You are not going to be able to run a Netflix competitor out of your garage.

You're not going to get high availability without some significant investment and even then you'll be at the mercy of whatever your ISP is doing upstream in the event of a power outage. I live in an area where we average something like 99.99% power uptime, but not everybody is so lucky.

You could, potentially, host something that serves up something non bandwidth-intensive to tens of thousands of users, give or take an order of magnitude. (SaaS, APIs, etc) You can do a lot of interesting things with a homelab and some of them are potentially profitable.

Perhaps more crucially: you're not exactly locked in to a homelab. You can start with that and once you reach a certain point, migrate to colo or cloud.
That statement is not compelling unless you are making a claim about something within their expertise, such as their opinions.
While we're on that topic, what is people's strategy for playing with Stable Diffusion safely?

I still haven't found any way to run it in a VM using consumer hardware (GPU continues to refuse to work). A second install of the OS on a second drive is so insanely clunky to switch between, I'd really like to not have to keep doing that.
Maybe the most demonstrable is egress/ingress bandwidth. But since
there's a power asymmetry when dealing with mega-corporations I had
other asymmetries in mind too.
And then there are companies like Dell and Lenovo which dispatch a serviceman to your address on next day and fix or replace the device on the spot.
Maybe that's just my limited experience but a lot of Linux software that comes with a GUI like Gimp, Libreoffice or even Isabelle tend to be accompanied by a CLI or API for automating tasks. That may be less accessible than a simple GUI automation but tends to be more powerful.

Though for GUI automation of, e.g., the increasing number of electron-backed apps more accessible software would be nice.
I’m a big fan of LunarVim, but handling large files out-of-the-box is not a great experience. Observed in both lvim, and neovim with my own config. I’ve found myself leaning on helix in those cases - quicker than screwing with either config, or running vim -u NONE.

LunarVim is my daily driver, but Helix is screaming fast compared to it in many cases.

> In early 2014, the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs released a draft report which confirmed that the intelligence agencies of New Zealand and Canada have cooperated with the NSA under the Five Eyes programme and may have been actively sharing the personal data of EU citizens. The EU report did not investigate if any international or domestic US laws were broken by the US and did not claim that any FVEY nation was illegally conducting intelligence collection on the EU.

For reference, this is the same NSA that has boasted about having inroads at companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple. The same FIVE EYES that recently "somehow" found the damning evidence to accuse India of conspiring to kill a foreign dissident.

Two-lane roundabouts still confuse me a bit. Even the video tutorial in that article has what looks like a problem to me. At 1:06, the pink car in the right lane skips the first exit. How does the orange car in the left lane know it's safe to take the second exit? That's a collision risk right there if the pink car wants to continue counter-clockwise.
