Never removing a name is relatively straightforward with views and aliases. Never breaking it is somewhat harder, but is still possible for well designed tables - especially if you use updateable views. Never reusing a name is also straightforward.

Cutting that thicker plastic can really be painful (and injurious). Scissors will tend to push one side up and the other down. The newly cut plastic is razor sharp. The plastic requires a lot more force than regular paper scissors are meant for.

I have an indoor pair of tin snips for just this occasion. Cuts smoothly through the plastic, and keeps my hand further away from the sharp bits.

I wonder if in the early days of programming languages people reveled in writing programs that instructed a computer to do the opposite of what was directed in user input and then gleefully shared how the computer was 'lying' or 'disobeying' them.

Is this just history repeating, or have humans somehow become even more silly with regards to emerging technology?
These days we understand that “normal” extends far beyond male and female, and that these norms are not exclusive to humans.

As an example, gay people are perfectly normal and natural.

Human society is built around humans so there is a reason I’m allowed to store art and stories in my brain; I and the vast majority of people can do jack all with it, pose little threat to the owners if we could, would draw attention if we did, and it’s not worthwhile or feasible to sue an entire population of content consumers for consuming content so people act smart and pick and choose their battles so society can function.

LLMs and diffusion models don’t “consume content” and the content they produce doesn’t come from inspiration, greed, boredom or any number of human traits. They don’t remember the Target logo to go shop there or a college class they took to apply for a job so they can be a tax paying member of society.
That's ethnic cleansing.
The people who make management decisions but don't understand the nuances of technical work are to be "blamed" for this outcome.
Stephen Mitchell has no real training in Old Chinese.[0] His “translation” is simply repackaging or distorting what was found in earlier, informed translations, for the sake of a publishing industry keen to cash in on “wisdom lit”. He is an analogue of Coleman Barks the Rumi “translator” who doesn’t know Persian, and Brooks Haxton the Heraclitus “translator” without a background in Greek.

In the early 1980s, when people had just begun to hear about laser printers and they were huge and expensive, I fooled my classmates into thinking I owned one by Xeroxing some images from a magazine onto pin-fed printer paper.

Never mind that laser printers don't use pin-fed paper: the fact that it was obviously printer paper of some sort, and yet contained a high-resolution image that was evidently produced by something laser-like, blew my friends' minds.
U.S. regulation isn’t coming for small businesses or hobbyists. It’s coming for other countries. if they don’t want to compete with small companies, they certainly don’t want to compete with small or large governments and other militaries.
Counterpoint: Wikipedia, by it's nature, strives to coalesce around a single narrative (there may be a lot of wrangling behind the scenes, but that's what they present). That puts them in line with much of the mainstream media, who have gotten several key events of the war fantastically wrong.

Twitter, by contrast, presents multiple points of view. This is a feature, not a bug. If you want to follow accounts cheering on Hamas, well, you're an animal, but go for it. If you want to follow IDF or particular sources you trust, you're probably much better informed than anyone reading, e.g., the New York Times.

Blue check marks have nothing to do with it. This reads like the last gasp of a gatekeeper trying to remain relevant in an increasingly distributed world.
I know those are traditionally buzz words but are they here? Trying to analyze traditionally anonymous payment methods that are virtual the only way randsomware is paid off seems like not a crazy idea.
Right, this is what I meant by the EFI brick in my comment. And in my comment "I can't say I've heard of that happening", I meant bricking a device on a system update. That's the specific thing which seems to happen on occasion with macOS, but that I've not seen with Linux. I do grant that there have been some (very rare) instances like this where hardware can be bricked by a command run on a Linux system.
People do lots of things in lack of better options. Some things are too big or complex for an individual to change themselves, and people choose the less bad option, and live with the unwanted consequences.

But through democracy, they can elect politicians that can create laws to give authorities tools to assert leverage. This is what we see in action here.
Then you should be against compulsory schooling because it leaves a huge number of children worse off and violates others' liberty at the same time.
What I think you're overlooking is that most people can only do a few hours of hardcore coding at peak productivity a day (3hours for me, maybe)

So you could spend 3hours babysitting GPT4 to write some code for you, but then you'd still have 3 hours of peak code productivity that day that you haven't "used up" yet
> Compression implies the input can be reconstructed from the output (lossy or not), in the case of these ml models the input is the training data and the output is the model. You can't reconstruct even a fraction of that training data using the model alone therefore it is not compression even in the most lossy sense.

It's already proven that you can reconstruct at least a small fraction of the training set from diffusion models. It's something quite well known, so could we not die on this hill?

Nor does it justify the vilification and exclusion of the one legged, no legged, and tripods.
We broadly do.

It's called multiple passes.

It's just 2-3x more expensive to run a prompt and then the prompt and response though a secondary fine tuned model to detect injection when the cost is so low impact.

So no one is doing it.

Yeah I really don't care about other people's preferences and actions. I care about the fact that Facebook is stalking me through avenues I don't consent to. I care about privacy. My actions match my preferences. They're creepy stalkers for trying to follow everyone as hard as they try to. I'm not saying government should be involved. I'm saying we should fucking stop inviting adtech workers to Thanksgiving and birthday parties. We should make them outcasts for being creepy fucking stalkers.
She had the humility to admit she knew little about ancient Chinese and the courage to go ahead and venture a translation anyway, striving to touch something deeper than language.

Her success is extremely laudable for this reason.
None of these translations work if you really want to understand the work itself and not the author's interpretation. For example, in the Analects,『學而優則仕』is translated by Legge as "The student, having completed his learning, should apply himself to be an officer." This isn't what the sentence says. It could be what it means but that should be up to the reader. (This is a common phrase in Chinese and has a completly different meaning today although it's hard to say if this meaning comes from the understanding of this text or if the text is simply being used as a source for the current meaning of the phrase.)

This is an issue with translations in general but is more of an issue in classical Chinese. Tao Te Ching is particularly bad in this regard. Just read more than one translation and you will see.
While it's important to respond to these threats with a credible show of deterrence, realistically speaking not many people think China can or will even try to take Taiwan anytime soon, if ever. Invasion by sea was hard even before we had missiles, satellites, and radar - it now appears almost impossible and has not been attempted at scale since WWII. Never say never I suppose, but I don't personally believe China will ever try to invade Taiwan in the traditional sense, they're just not that stupid.

Of far greater concern is their increasing belligerence in their "sphere of influence" including the south china sea and surrounding island chains.
I don’t think Blizzard/Rockstar’s scenario necessarily applies here, Frank Cifladi has a GDC talk[1] about how the financial argument for remastering older IP can prove tricky. The enthusiast might not be happy with a bare bones, economically-sound port, so it can be challenging to market to them.

Digital Eclipse gets around it by making nicer ports on the cheap, but I think a long-term solution would be a low-cost way for rights holders to keep older games in circulation without effort.

(original comment)

Let this be a warning to everyone building RAG systems with PDFs: Don't rely on the text representation in a PDF, even if it's native text. OCR it. It's trivial to hide text in a PDF that's completely separate from a raster image of text.

You will, I promise, find yourself indexing and retrieving malicious text and shoving it into a prompt. That text could either be an intentional misrepresentation of the content in the PDF, or a well-crafted prompt injection that exfiltrates other secrets, or acts as a heretofore unknown vector for fuckery.

Some people are even doing RAG in `system` role prompts with GPT-4 and holy hell is that a bad idea.
Thank you for this perspective. Coming from a naive place - why is china childless? I know there was a "one child policy" many years ago and I don't think it's there now - why aren't people having kids?

Here in the west we obviously have low birth rates too, having to do with erosion of gender roles and family values and woke excuses like "it's bad for the environment." I don't imagine those factors to be in play in China - what is?

100k tokens and good ide support would be great. Copy pasting back and forth with browser and IDE is kinda annoying and you always miss some context. I think model is now good enough but what is kinda missing is good developer experience eg what to load in that context window and how model integrates to IDE. But this is kinda missing with copilot and chatgpt4 as well.

> These days we understand that “normal” extends far beyond male and female.

No. It is normal to have a penis or a vagina. So, humans are either male or female. This can be stated as truth, just as a scientist would claim that humans are bipedal, even while acknowledging exceptions do exist.
You don't need to re-license the BSD code to GPL as that code is not a derived from the GPL'd bcache. Distributing binaries is the only tricky bit: a kernel with GPL code would need to be distributed as GPL. This can be solved with loadable kernel modules. There isn't much stopping anyone from using the code from a license perspective.

The problem is this sort of code is strongly tied to the operating system, and porting it would require significant effort, if even feasible at all.
It felt like that in the 70s too.
The reason creationists push so hard against the teaching of evolution is that it fundamentally discredits their entire theology. It’s not just about the origin story.

If there wasn’t a literal Adam and Eve, then Adam and Eve never sinned by eating fruit from the wrong tree, and thus they never passed that sin down to all of humanity, meaning we aren’t all born with “original sin” for which we need to be forgiven and saved from being sent to hell when we die.
Often Chrome doesn't know when more frames are needed either, so it's not something we could add an API for unfortunately.

Yes, just feeding inputs 1 by 1 for each dequeue event until you get the number of outputs you want in your steady state is the best way. It minimizes memory usage. I'll see about updating the MDN documentation to state this better.

This is nonsense based on nostalgia, no better than “I long for the days when men were men” or “kids these days don’t respect their elders like we used to”.

To the point specifically about being a newcomer to the software industry, there are definitely challenges that I don’t want to underplay. But there are also more resources, more types of resources available than ever before. Mentoring junior ICs is something that is explicitly rewarded in many tech companies, making it easier for them to find mentors.

If you have some actual data that compares the ease of joining the industry compared to 10 and 20 years ago, please share. But if you’re just waxing lyrical about the good old days, please don’t.

I got $1000 that says that I could name several “Godly” (greater than 90% abrahamic affiliation) that you would immediately label “a shithole country”, but if I were to name the most secular ones, you’d most likely state that “theyre great, beautiful places to live with good people.”
> Asking questions is the best way to get an imposter off their track.

I think this is more of a function of people who hire than people who work. Its an an interesting industry that obsesses itself with imposters, which is pretty much the experience of working for, or trying to be hired into any tech company.
> Nor does it justify the vilification and exclusion of the one legged, no legged, and tripods.

Of course not. No good person would claim otherwise.

But it does not invalidate those people, to make the claim that humans, as a biological classification, are bipedal.
> One afternoon in March 2019, St. Louis police officers entered Gardner's office with a search warrant and seized a computer server. The raid had been ordered by a special prosecutor investigating a perjury claim tied to an investigator in Gardner’s office. But an appeals court intervened and the police returned the equipment.

> Gardner saw the raid as a direct affront to her authority. She sharply criticized the police, accusing them of deploying tactics “to intimidate, harass and embarrass this office.”

Hahaha. Accountability isn't so fun when you're the one under the spotlight.
Developers without special training should generally not do database design for the sort of databases that are intended to last decades. It is a similar task to developing a complex file format that is usable twenty years later - not something to be done off the cuff, and if you want schema stability database design requires more care than most file formats.

I’m the opposite, personally. I can code for 5 or 6 hours just fine if I’m “in the zone”, but I can’t deal with LLMs for more than an hour or two max, usually less. I find their sweet spot is when I need to ask one or two questions with one or two follow-ups, 5-10 minutes ideally. They can sometimes be a big win in small doses if you can keep it to that kind of interaction. But they are just draining to interact with for longer periods. For me they’re a lot like being a TA stuck in multi-hour office hours with undergrads once you get past a few questions. Just a really shitty slog.
It's not crazy, but tracing blockchain transactions has been done since blockchains were invented. I'm not sure if new AI techniques are helpful or not.

I completely agree with your overall point about the fantastic night sky but it should be no surprise that people suggest sunrise, as the Hawaiian Haleakala literally translates to "house of the sun".
If it were me, babysitting GPT4 would still spend my peak code productivity credits, as it's basically coding (in natural language).
I think it's a similar reason to the west's low birth rate : women have more choice and therefore, a larger portion is choosing to have kids later in life (or are finding it more difficult to get a partner, as they require one that surpasses themselves in earning/status etc).

I think you will find that rural areas of china has a higher birth rate than urban areas, as the opportunities in rural areas are fewer. But as more and more people move to urban areas for economic prosperity, the same birthrate will befall them just like in western advanced economies.
I am not Catholic, but I have studied the history of various religions, and it's pretty clear that the RC Church definitely deviated from the teachings it claimed to follow, for literally centuries. In fact, for centuries it was actually illegal for lay people (people who weren't priests/clergy) to read the Bible, and it was forbidden to translate it into other languages. There are many such examples, such as the selling of indulgences (buy salvation instead of it being free).

But: just because that Catholic Church deviated from its own teachings doesn't mean that at least some of those teachings weren't correct. Teachings like "love one another" resonate in any language.

Technically you can say this to most text. You can even say practically no one alive never read The Bible.
Key information is not relevant for generating code.

You have to generate specific api calls with specific semantics not “high level summary” and “key information” .

You have to generate token sequences that are functionally equivalent to an exact segment of the input prompt.

A lower precision is less useful for code generation.

How do you maintain existing code functionality when you give code + “refactor for x” as an input?

I’m skeptical you’ve tried this and know what you’re talking about.

I did not get halfway through this before I could start to feel the hairs of my neck start to stand on end. The numerous blind alleys. The promising leads that aren't. The official documentation that contains links to other documents that contradict the first and so I have to try and also piece together some temporal state to make any sense of any of it. Some days it seems I am actually some kind of an information archeologist, piecing together the detritus of overlapping civilizations.
