(Chrome on Android, but besides a responsive layout, I haven't noticed discrepancies with the desktop Chromium site/interface; sadly the native Android app still shows no signs of code interpreter mode.)

The announced (and a few days ago leaked) Omni prompt also doesn't show up in the model selector. And that despite the expanded context looking very promising for the REPL-feedback-augmented code generation abilities.
This is yet another article that doesn't really seem to get it. For example: it argues that many small check-ins are better for bisecting -- but enabling a development process that encourages many small commits while still allowing bisect to work is one of the big reasons of rebase's existence! (Perhaps the author is biased/doesn't understand common use cases because SQLite has a famously thorough test suite that almost nobody else comes close to. SQLite's development flow is also comparatively simple: the Linux kernel, for example, has orders of magnitude more developers.)

That said, it gets quite close to an interesting idea here:

> Second, if Git remembered the source of cherry-picks in commits, Git users might have a better argument for avoiding rebase, because they’d have an alternative that didn’t lose history.

I like the idea of properly remembering cherry-pick sources in commit metadata. It would be a cool thing to have, and potentially sometimes useful.

But try to really imagine a world where this is how Git worked. How would you solve the two problems I stated in my GP comment? You'd just transform state A of a branch into state B by performing a sequence of cherry-picks. And that's pretty much exactly what git rebase is...

So no, the author's proposal wouldn't eliminate the need for the rebase flow. It would subtly change the result of a rebase in a way that preserves more history. Which may or may not be useful, but I mostly wouldn't mind it.

(Just for your consideration, losing history can be important when you're maintaining a mixture of open and closed source / trade secret branches. You may not care personally, but being pragmatic about such things has certainly helped git.)

Tabla. These are drums from the South Asian region, which are probably the "most" harmonious drums you can construct. I am learning to play, but also slowly working out the physics of them. There is some work in the area, including foundational work by Ramen, the Nobel prize winning physicist.

But there is quite a lot still to be done. I would like to turn some of the art of making Tabla into the science of making Tabla.
They should have broken the dashboards by writing automation to increase the "baseline" to ludicrous levels. A towering spire to the moon, with all other conversations merely pixel-tall bars on the graph.

Not related to your comment. But I see so much future in what ChatGPT can do.

Imagine giving a list of [Input<> Output] pairs, write a minimal program fitting the description in any language, even an Excel macro. Input, Outputs could in future be application interactions.

Adding onto it, imagine a future model where it understands shader toy scripts and its corresponding visual output.

This is like program fitting just as we have techniques for curve fitting and line fitting over a series of data points.

I am super pumped and excited for the future.
I think it was an imaginary scenario that Chesterton invented to illustrate a point.

There are some preparedness-paradox stories in the book A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear where people who weren't used to living near bears pooh-poohed¹ precautions against them that other people said were necessary. Some of them had never before seen why those precautions might help anything.

Looking back to the recent 'semianalysis' article on NVIDIA: https://www.semianalysis.com/p/nvidias-plans-to-crush-compet...

'For those OEMs to win larger H100 allocation, Nvidia is pushing the L40S. Those OEMs face pressure to buy more L40S, and in turn receive better allocations of H100.'

Lots of articles and opinions popping out about the L40S as a serious H100 alternative at the same time. The people buying these kinds of cards have already been looking seriously (10-12k easy to source against 35k impossible to get?) and rejected them because for training memory bandwidth, intranode (nvlink) and internode (pcie5 and... Nvlink too?) interconnect, and tensor core performance are critical.

Now if your application is fp32 and compute bound (or mostly compute bound) or if you can make it fly with cuda cores and bit of tensor cores, a bit of work yes, and you're still on Eth200G (so pcie 4 is OK) the L40 is an incredible beast and you can build incredibly dense compute nodes with up to 700 TFLOPS which is just mad.
On a long-lived codebase you're going to end up with nearly as many such comments as there are lines of code. Now that's a cluttered mess.
Not who you’re replying to but I have similar views and hire engineers.

One crypto position probably wouldn’t raise eyebrows like having Mindgeek on your resume wouldn’t, but having multiple crypto roles probably would imo. Not that OP has indicated they have multiple crypto roles unless I’m parsing their post incorrectly.

And as to why, it’s an industry full of scams and a lot of wishful thinking that I wouldn’t think would help actually build out a stable business. You might have worked at only the “good ones” but given how modern hiring works with regards to hundreds of applications, I probably wouldn’t spend the effort to check the quality of those firms.
If you need a superhuman intellect (admittedly, a narrow one) in order to write sane code in a language, that means that language is no longer a good language for humans.

The current trend of slapping an AI onto everything makes me nervous about our future: why put effort into careful design when it's easier to feed terabytes of data to an AI and hope something good comes out? Nevermind that you now have to sift through tons of garbage it produces.

C++ is deeply flawed to say the least, you won't fix it with AI or anything. It's time to ditch it already.

Considering how well simply reusing GPT-3.5/4 outputs has worked to juice rival model performance, at least in relatively narrow benchmarking, I dunno how many GBs it'd take, but probably not that many, and it's a straightforward easy way to turn money into performance at a much lower cost than buying a few thousand more H100s.

I've arrived at a hotel to discover that they are over booked and they don't have a room for me. Sure they put me in a taxi/Uber to another hotel, but not the one that I booked, not where I wanted to be, no recourse other than suck it up. This isn't only an Airbnb problem

In the world of crypto, there are no negatives. Ever.
Its called SEO.

If you know something bad has happened, you want to word your public statements in such a way that you beat out the bad news to the top search of Google at least, to minimize the attention given to that issue.

Ex: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1465838829370228737

This Elon Musk tweet coincided to help SEO-fight against a Whistleblower claim.

Boris Johnson using search terms to try and hide the "Bus" incident back during Brexit.

-----------

The #1 goal is to do it in such a way that confuses and befuddles those not-in-the-know (Oh, its just the CEO being quirky... they'll brush it off). But of course, you still want to accomplish the goal and make a news-statement with the largest amount of reach such that you beat the "real news" event on the top search of Google/Facebook/other social media.

It often sounds like gobbytygook, because it is. You're just word-vomiting into the wild trying to shove search terms to the top of Google / other search engines... but in a way that no one realizes why those words are related.
> Nothing about you really stands out as problematic, but in my own opinion your heavy startup/crypto background makes you seem like someone only interested in money/getting rich quickly.

> You might be a great candidate, but I'd fully expect you to check out if a better offer even looked in your direction. Given a choice between you and a more-conservative candidate, I'd pick them.

Something about this seems... off to me. Yes, many of us are in tech because it's our passion. But I can almost guarantee that at least most of us work for companies _for money_, because _we need money_. And when people talk about money, in general, they're wanting _more of it._ How out of touch with reality do we think people that hire staff are? Even more than that, how do we gauge what a more conservative candidate looks like? I don't exactly put in my resume or cover letters (when I bother to write one) "I like money." But I can tell you that I very much do. Actually, nothing quite makes you start liking money the same way that growing up poor does.

Anyway, this rant wasn't necessarily focused towards you, so much as that line of reasoning, which I've seen before. In particular, "I'd fully expect you to check out if a better offer even looked in your direction." If we're discussing similar (or better) workplace culture and benefits, an offer for more money will usually do this. There aren't too many engineers in tech that are providing a company value out of the kindness of their hearts, they want a pay check, the bigger the better.
Caring about power yields more power. All people are a mix of all these qualities, but if some qualities help to survive/succeed in an organization, the organization will be lobsided towards these. It doesn't take evil masterminds, just bits of "worse" instincts that get amplified in the dynamics of the organization.

I find it quite apparent in academia too. Academics do care about the truth and such, but to survive in academia you have to "play the game" even when it means being a bit flexible with the truth or other such principles. Or conversely, being too rigorous with principles means you don't usually stay a (paid) academic for long.
> a market that OpenAI/MS/Google can't or won't touch.

The book is way broader than Wiki, basically it wants "epistemological anarchy". Let scientists do their thing regardless of what the current view on it is. Only by pushing do we discover new things.

I think this is far less true in other arenas, which is why I'm not talking about politics or culture here. Although there is probably some merit in anarchy there too. It'd be naive of us to assume our current understanding of government is complete. Imagine being a Monarchist in the 1700s and thinking there was no more perfect form of government!

Low-plastic living.

I read a book by the world's first zero-waste restaurant, Silo. The book got me thinking about how different our lives would be if oil were expensive. "Pretend oil is really expensive" is a good proxy for doing things that are "eco-friendly." Since reading the book, I've tried to eliminate single-use plastic from most of my life. It's incredibly hard. Everything from my socks to my vegetable packaging to my dog's toys to my floor is made of plastic.

I've slowly been adjusting my habits - such as checking whether clothing is natural or oil-based, buying food mostly at the farmers market, and eating in instead of takeaway. These little change have decreased my carbon footprint immensely.

I enjoy playing this game of "pretend oil is expensive" even though it's not because it's revealing problems we will need to tackle as a society. At some point we will run out of oil. When that happens, everything will be impacted. Travel, food delivery, and most of all healthcare.
Yeah made a quick edit when I realized that NG is methane

But here’s something from your link that completely reframes the problem:

Wtf? Are these health effects mainly from (unburnt) gas poisoning and have little to do with actual burner usage/combustion?

It's like a sunburn. The radiation damages the DNA of the cells. DNA damage like that triggers a cellular self-destruct mechanism. It's a cancer-prevention mechanism. So over the next few days as the skin or corneal cells start to go through their normal replication cycle, the DNA damage is discovered and causes those cells to die off. This causes an injury just like if another mechanism like heat or chemical damage, had killed those cells. Inflammation, oozing, pain, scarring.

This is probably valid, I'd have to think on it some. As a rule I am against the silencing of thought. I think I can see where you'd be right, but how do you guard against the feedback loop, things not on Wikipedia do not gain traction because they're not on Wikipedia.

Really recommend Ramit Sethi's I Will Teach You to be Rich.

When I was a freshly graduated 22-year-old entering grad school, I didn't know the first thing about finance, but this book taught me all of the fundamentals.

You'll learn about how to pay off debt, how credit scores work, how to use credit cards, how to invest for retirement, how to save for large expenses like weddings and homes, etc.

By the end of the book, you'll have learned how to automate your finances so you do the right things by default.
They just got hit with a massive funds confiscation in Italy (779 million euros) on account of (allegedly) unpaid taxes. I'm not sure if that was part of the determination of how broken AirBnB is but if it wasn't then they probably should fix that too.
Yes, that one seems promising, but I really would like more control on allowed URLs. I.e. a flag to allow/disallow cross domain URLs anywhere (<a href>, <link href>, <form action>, <img src>, <img srcset>, <iframe src> etc. etc.) And does it strip any styles (style attribute, style tag, link stylesheet)? If yes, can I allow certain styles somehow? Needs work IMO.
These things that you call Disney land parks, are where I’ve been living for the last year. It’s not Disneyland at all, though, since there is a bustling and productive economy (that I work in), even in the cities with minimal tourism.

Actually some of the nicest walkable neighborhoods that I’ve visited since moving here, I was the only tourist that I saw.

If you’re genuinely curious, I’d love to give you more information about my city (as an American that moved to Europe). Let me know.

But I have 5 grocery stores within a quarter mile of my home, I take public transit and bike for all of my daily errands, and haven’t driven a car once since moving here. I see my friends whenever I want, often by either walking or taking transit depending on distance.

Just last weekend, I took a train to another city to buy a new racing bike, and took the train most of the way home before riding it the last mile or two. It was easy, and I went all the way to a neighboring town to shop for it (since they had a model that I wanted to try).

You can minimize it by calling it a glorified Disneyland park, but then you’re basically just skipping over the hundreds of millions of people who work non-tourism jobs (engineering, law, business, farming, medicine) and live within these generally well designed places.

This is pathetic. The original promoters behind BAYC, two guys from Florida and the son of some official of a bank in Africa, were rave promoters. They botched their metaverse project, Otherside, but that was technically ambitious. The people running it now can't even run a medium-sized rave properly. Earlier ApeFest events were only for BAYC holders and had a celebrity lineup. This time they sold tickets to anyone.

BAYC is the top end of NFTs. Almost everything else is worse. Overall, NFT value has declined something like 98%.

(The NFT crowd irks me because I want to see good metaverses, and between the NFT clowns and Zuckerberg, the whole field crashed.)
Similar to the effect of wearing one earplug or one headphone/IEM: when one ear is exposed to much louder sound than the other, the combined exposure across both ears doesn't trigger the natural protective mechanism [0] to the degree that it would be triggered if that same level of exposure was applied to both ears, so the one ear gets totally wrecked. Also not a doctor and would appreciate a counterpoint from anyone who knows this to be a myth.

Separate embedding DBs are less important if you are working with OpenAI, since their Assistants API exists to (among other things) let you bring in additional data and let them worry about parsing it, storing it, and doing RAG with it.
