That's a pretty strong way of stating what's basically hearsay from a pretty low effort article.
pete isn't a different kind of plastic from pet, it's just a usa-only abbreviation to avoid the non-plastic-related pet trademark the pet company uses on their disposable drinking vessels made from whatever material

the broader point is valid that recycling even hdpe is difficult because of the diversity of fillers and other additives, not to mention variation in molecular weight even before scission by ultraviolet, hydrolysis, or the heat of the molding process

there are in fact people who make a living by recycling. until recently around here they even bought pet, offering lower prices for the colored pet (because with pet you really can economically separate out the fillers and additives and repolymerize it to a known molecular weight)

mostly they recycle paper (mostly cardboard), copper, bronze, brass, lead, and aluminum. glass, steel, concrete, and plastics can be recycled but it's hard to make it profitable

if you hold industry liable for damage done by people improperly discarding its products, soon you will have no industry
I'm interested in points of view from developers-who-deploy-software-changes in one form or another.

Why do you / do you not accept software updates in your os/dependencies/packages?

Do you naturally gravitate to something like CentOS and/or stick to LTS distro releases?

How do you reconcile believing that you improve your software against the idea that others make theirs worse?
How does the store solve visibility? In the demo it looked like there was a select list of Custom Assistants in the left panel which he manually had to click, so not much different from plug-ins?

Right he said something about promoting the best but what about the discoverability?
You can deal with that through tooling.

In a lot of my work I call those types of automated tool commits "wrench" commits personally and even have a simple shell script to help automate committing them. In my case I prefix the command line with a wrench emoji. At that point it's very obvious in git blame that if a line starts with a wrench it was last touched by an automated tool of some sort.

You can also very easily at that point grep your git log for wrenches to dump commit hashes into a git-ignore-revs file and automate that part too so that those commits don't even show up in git blame at all.
Does UHZ1 mean something like "ultra-high Z, #1"? (Z as in redshift)

Is it common for CloudFlare to publish documents or diagrams from their vendors clearly marked "Proprietary and Confidential"
I remember a long time ago I watched an interview with a high-level ESA French official that derided SpaceX’s efforts on reusability. It was back when SpaceX was still trying to figure out how to “land” boosters on the open sea. I remember the smug and superior attitude of the guy, he was just shy of calling SpaceX a fraud. Fast forward to today and here we are. I would love to see what he has to say now.
There are still places I see FPGAs used by hobbyists, for example Hams working with Software Defined Radio, game console emulators with a focus on correct timing, other retro computing where FPGAs can replace/upgrade components that are hard to find.
It is withfig/autocomplete. The only difference from their runtime is that this gives results directly in the console, instead of using a graphical overlay. I believe that means you could use this in an SSH session.
I was going to say the same thing. In what world is 100ms fast on a computer? (for something not making a network round trip)
You seem to be reading way too much into the OP's comment, maybe we should let him answer the question.
Anthropic doesn't care about consumer products. Their CEO believes that the company with the best LLM by 2026 will be too far ahead for anyone else to catch up.
> create a fine tuned version of GPT

No. It's unclear fine-tuning is happening. Many are guessing it's RAG.
It usually does. But I think such parents have distorted perception. When parents were blue-collar kids, they studied at lower-grade schools, and with some persistence could get high grades. This allowed them to get to university and move up by social ladder. (Even though, there's been a trend that more % of people get higher education.)

And then they set much higher standard for school, sending children to where it's really hard to get all A-s, even though the kid performs pretty well, way above the nation average.
Use an llm to evaluate the input and categorise it.
I personally use Whisper to transcribe painfully long meetings (2+ hours). The transcripts are then segmented and, you guessed it, entered right into GPT-4 for clean up, summarisation, minutes, etc. So in a sense it's a great way to get more people to use their other products?
bzr is superior to git in most ways. The only problem is that it is not used by many people today.

Magically turning 3-pt cards into 8-pt tasks made everyone...uncomfortable.
Their system also does not seem to support techniques like hybrid search, automated cleaning/modifying of chunks prior to embedding, or the ability to access citations used, all of which are pretty important for enterprise search.

Could just mean it's coming, though.
What breaks my brain is that if the Sun were compressed into a black hole, its Schwarzschild radius would be less than 2 miles, but the biggest black hole we know about so far, Phoenix A, has a Schwarzschild radius of almost 2,000 AU. The radius of Neptune's orbit is "only" about 30 AU, so Phoenix A's Schwarzschild radius is almost 70 times longer. Illustration here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Phoenix_... . And of course, volume increases cubically with radius. I have a hard time contemplating that you could make a black hole that ridiculously ginormous even if you crammed the entire universe into one black hole, and yet Phoenix A is far from the only supermassive black hole out there.
Even Postgres has its share of the bugs, e.g. simple search shows https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAGckUK2GLF%3Dd9J5ErEW...

Oracle might be military grade because they have the entire web page on how to report wrong results bugs: https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Oracle%20Cloud/150895_1... https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Oracle%20Database%20Pro... etc.

Query engines are (not)surprisingly complex software products. Add to that the constant (and aggressive, due to the competition in the field) evolution and adition of the new features that can interact with every existing feature in any existing context and you have a perfect environment for bugs to appear.
I'm typing this on an Essential PH-1 phone I took out of the box a week ago to replace the Essential PH-1 I have been using daily since 2017. I never updated the other phone once and it lasted 6 years of significant use.

I did update this one to Android 10 - I don't want 6 years out of this one.
If that's actually the case, then using this congestion control algorithm for that purpose is okay I suppose.
Hi! Fastly employee here — we're working on improving our accessibility for individuals/ smaller workloads.

No, the UK. And the company with the oldest demographic was an American company based out of Seattle. The second oldest was another American company HQ'd in Portland.
Is this scary? They said revenue share - it sounds like a streaming platform software licensing model. That sounds like getting paid much less than 70%.
oh god, please, no. :)

I mean, go for it if you want but I'm not sure why you'd need to maintain so many heterogeous pipelines that would warrant a tool like this.
I would be also interested in knowing when these show up in Azure OpenAI offerings.

IANAL...but from the article's phrasing, it does not sound like Air Canada's 3rd-party in-flight medical emergency advice provider (MedAire) provides Air Canada with any liability coverage in case of lawsuits.

Just as interesting - it sounds like the cabin crew had nothing but aspirin to offer to the victim. With how many AED's - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_external_defibrillat... - I see in public buildings these days (admittedly in the US)...that seems very odd.
I've joked in the past (in WFH vs RTO threads) that in order to appease the people who want to see a busy in-person office: companies should just hire actors to run around the office carrying clipboards, sketching on whiteboards, and looking busy, because the visual, performative art of work is all that's important at a lot of places. I wasn't 100% serious about it, but here we are.
Author here:

At the time of writing, I was not aware that the matrix form and the closed form are same, because you can derive the golden ratio based formula from the matrix formula. Full disclaimer: I am not a math major, and I can make such mistakes :)

Although, I am curious to learn about exponentiation of real numbers. While writing this article, I was investigating how different libraries/languages implement exponentiation. While for matrix exponentiation, numpy used the algorithm I showed in the article. I also looked at the pow() function in libm of FreeBSD and it used the form you provided. I've been trying to look at an explanation behind this. Please share a pointer if you have any references.

You'll have to do this in addition to one of the previously discussed solutions if you want something like document.qsA since document isn't an HTMLElement.
I way prefer them to do that than them to close their shop. They do all the development and then you have some big software development providers selling solutions for millions of € to government agencies and they get nothing out of it. That at some point they consider that a part should go back to them or if no money some code is fair.
From the FSF:

> The GNU Affero General Public License is a modified version of the ordinary GNU GPL version 3. It has one added requirement: if you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there.

I don't understand how this corresponds with anything you are saying.
>how often is "understanding your project history" something that actually comes up for you?

Frequently, for any long and complex project. Large amounts were written by people no longer working on it, and the history of how things came to be can help fill in documentation gaps and make intent clear.

By "frequently" I mean something like "I check history for about 2/3rds of bug fixes, and 1/4 of adding features" to understand the surroundings better, when writing or reviewing. Anything that makes that better saves me hours per week.

It catches and prevents more than enough subtle issues to be worth the effort.

The claim isn’t that 100ms is fast, it’s that the blame for the latency lies in the engineering, not the language.
Objectivity. Independent thought.

The technologies we have are models, not actors. They are each the static result of a process that determines boundaries and relationships between pieces of data. These models do not, however, organize or label the boundaries or relationships themselves.

For example, you can model a dataset of human-written text into an LLM. Using that LLM, you can transform a human-written prompt into a "continuation" that incorporates the modeled dataset. The resulting continuation will contain a new organization of both text from your prompt and/or text from the dataset: nothing more.

The boundaries and relationships modeled by an LLM are not categorized. The model does not contain any objective observation about its data. It only provides a structure that is intended to "align to" (simulate) the already-present semantics of natural language. It was not the model's intention to align with language semantics: that comes from the authors of the model, and from the presence of patterns (we recognize as language semantics) in the dataset itself. Without the presence of natural language patterns, there would be no boundary to align to in the first place.

To contrast, a human can read text into ideas, then think objectively about those ideas, produce new ideas, and finally express those ideas into text by structuring them into language semantics. Nothing like that happens in any software I am aware of.

Copilot vs. Cody: Why context matters for code AI
Can I ask what the goal is here? It's cool to be able to spin up a nicely designed website (and it is nicely designed and has a good aesthetic), but isn't the content going to be semantically empty? I don't want to be negative but it feels like cheap plastic imitation of a real thing, and the web is already full of spammy low quality content. Aren't you in danger of your products having a very short life cycle and ending up as digital landfill, so to speak?
Is this way or never. Choose one.

Some people still wants to believe that we will be able to solve some of the worst problems of the human history without spending too much resources and that it will be cheap. I don't think so.

Been a long time coming, but hopefully if it happens an implosion of the Arianespace semi-monopoly will open the way for the EU to see its own domestic commercial providers grow into genuinely globally competitive options. The EU should be focused on generating demand like Commercial Cargo/Commercial Crew did and then allowing fixed price providers to meet it however they can, vs trying to micromanage means and distribution. I think a fundamental mistake of a lot of the old guard, which is really something repeated over and over throughout modern history, is somehow failing to recognize a potentially positive sum game when they see it. There was so much focus on "protecting jobs", as-in existing jobs doing the same existing thing, as if it was a zero-sum game where any money spent more efficiently getting to space would then just mean that the freed up money evaporated. But massively cheaper, higher cadence access to space opens up entirely new and improved economic opportunities and in turn a lot of new potential jobs. The money saved on getting a kilogram to orbit can turn right around into more kilograms that generate a more lasting return then the money previously burned up in the atmosphere. That's "economic growth" in the most fundamental positive way, delivering humans more value for the same amount of energy/materials.

Ariane has turned into a lumbering zombie that is sucking up financial and political oxygen that much more promising players desperately need. But the EU (and the world) is plenty big enough to support their own SpaceX/Rocket Labs/Relativity/etc and next generation space stations/industry. I'm an American and think our own space efforts are one area of absolutely justifiable pride, but it'd be healthy long term if other democracies and groups of democracies offered some redundancy.

Your VAE Sucks
I wrote a short article about jpg and if we could use concepts from how jpg works to make an image autoencoder that has a left-to-right positional bias and variable compression

Basically, existing VAEs are pretty good at compression, but have bad properties like 2D latent position bias and difficulty training on batches of mixed resolutions

So I try something I call DCT-Autoencoder, which takes ideas from JPG to learn compression of patched DCT features of an image

Check it out!
They were the worst! Luckily I had less and less of them as I got older.
You can `git bisect --first-parent` and only bisect top-level merge commits. In most cases that gets you to the ballpark of "PR that introduced the bug" no matter how dirty the commit history inside that PR had been and if you can git bisect further in that branch. In my experience that is most of what you want anyway, "PR that introduced the bug" gives more than enough context.

In this part of the kingdom of Sweden, our kids were affected.

They couldn't spend time at the library (max 15 minute visits), they couldn't go to the local science center (closed), they couldn't go to the small farm that the city runs (closed for visitors), and they couldn't go to a visitor center usually open in summer and with the only toilets near a water-themed playground they enjoy.
I applaud pay transparency, but reading the text of my state's legislation regarding it (RCW 49.58.110), all I see is that it says most employers must have a pay scale that is known to candidates. My initial adversarial response as an imaginary business would be to say "okay, the pay scale for this position is between $0-$10000000, depending on qualifications". Now we're back where we started, with the candidate having no valuable information, and the company seemingly in compliance with the law. Why wouldn't this work?

Anyway, with regards to the actual article, I was wondering just what mechanism supposedly made jobs with pay transparency harder to negotiate from a recruiter's perspective. Is the implication that there were no hard salary bands before this, so recruiters could sometimes offer 2x or 10x the salary? I'm sure it happened for exceptional candidates, even though it certainly never came up when I negotiated my salary...

But I'm wondering: did it happen so often that it affects the overall statistics? That would be a moderate surprise to me.

Why don’t you need embedding?
The problem with system libraries requiring importing them as C libraries isn't new and doesn't seem to be going away. It has caused all sorts of problems for alternative languages over the years that it seems like an alternative would give all of computing a giant boost by allowing different models that don't work well with C. Stabilizing and standardizing the syscall interfaces would be one way to accomplish this and is the closest thing we have to it now. Implementing syscalls as a separate service might also work but then you have the IPC overhead. That might not be as bad though as we'll end up with something like that anyways as requirements ramp up for C to have it's own runtime (eg. https://dslab.epfl.ch/research/cpi/).
