>But going v6 means redesigning your network.

>If all the addresses, routing, etc were kept the same as before

It is a natural consequence of having a greater address space.

If you decide to expand the address to become 128-bits long (heck, even 64 bits), you will also expand the routing table and risk overwhelming the limited memory of some routers.

Hence, we need to find ways to aggregate the routes and make the route table more efficient, and that's what you are looking at with IPv6 addressing. The /64 per network requirement effectively cuts the size of your route table in half, for example.

But even so... your point that:

>Then once everyone's on v4.1, people could start using longer addresses.

...is incredibly naïve. It took decades to have everyone support HTTPS, and to this day we still have HTTP-only websites.

>ULAs are routed specially, basically as a replacement for NAT.

For god's sake, no. It is better to think ULAs are specifically used for internal communications than to think they are for NATs.

Like I said, you really don't understand IPv6 at all, stop pretending that you are, lest you repeat all the same so-claimed "mistakes of IPv6" in your own solution.

>no way that making the address field bigger requires changing all existing addresses.

Except that when you are moving pre-existing machines out of a NATted network, you will need to give them new addresses, and then you realize that you have to renumber everything anyways in the end - otherwise you will have locally proximal machines in vastly different subnets.
It's not like buying some other ring is that much better. We have 22ct gold rings but they are huge, heavy and don't fit very well anymore so they're easy to lose, so we never wear them. But we have them yay! At least it cost an order of magnitude less
I understand the point your making with respect to most things. Wife wants 1.3x price carpet instead of x price carpet because it looks better. They discuss and compromise. Husband wants to go to 2y price vacation instead of y price, they compromise on 1.5y price. Bride wants z+50 people at wedding and groom wants z, etc. so on. The synthesis of love languages, consumer culture, the psychological musings of commitment, devotion, the pleasures of our immortality projects in monogamy, etc. is deeply ingrained into the human experience. It's a part of why we live, do things, work our psyches into powerful frenzies on the esteem and cares of others. I get that. It's wonderful, it's beautiful.

However, I personally think the "rings must have a very expensive diamond" thing to be very silly. I know that it may be subjectively very important to the potential recipient, but that it seems to sometimes really be so inflexible feels murky in the "what normally tacit power dynamic in this relationship is this revealing?" sort of way. The only significant tangible difference between the diamond and moissanite is the mental totem: "It is a diamond, he bought a diamond for me. He wanted to buy something else but I wanted this and he got it". Which is a problem when it comes to that: that the recipient cannot budge on something so arbitrary. It feels more like the whispers of the DeBeers cultural brainwashing: "You don't deserve to have her if the sacrifice you made to purchase this wasn't big enough"

If a woman gets X amount of utility from a diamond ring over an alternative, how would it be invalid if I said I got -X utility from having to purchase it?

This is one of those hard to beat arguments where I know I'm not facing a purely rational point of view. I understand it, that's why I added the first paragraph of this response. It's one of those issues where I feel I'd need to have a Christopher Hitchens level of rhetorical skill to make any headway in my favor.
That's what I find weird here. The bit of the code written in rust is almost comically tiny, and the rest is just C++ you compiled to WASM which someone else already wrote. I think comparing this to a Python wrapper for the same code would produce very minimal difference in performance, because the majority goes into performance and formatting the prompt string really isn't that complex of a task. I just don't see what advantage Rust produces here other than the fact that it's a language you can compile to WASM so that you have one binary.
+ 1. to get a usable MBP spec (i.e. at least 1TB disk and 24GB RAM) you’re looking at a 2,689€ price tag here in Germany. Not an issue if it’s company provided, but outside, this is more than two months worth of rent and a substantial part of a post tax income of a software engineer in Germany.
Describing anything complicated to a general audience is tough.

Most people fundamentally misunderstand the issues around fission and its economic viability even though there’s hundreds of nuclear reactors. No base load power isn’t inherently a good thing, it was actually coined to describe a downside. Clarifying just that misunderstanding gets info market forces, investments, and engendering to a non trivial level but you essentially need to condense it down to an infographic or people will lose interest. I have no idea how you could pull that off in an interesting manner.

IMO, the trick is to narrowly address the common misconceptions. Flat paper airplane wings provide lift, therefore Bernoulli’s principle isn’t why wings work. However that doesn’t extend to actually explaining complex topics.

I've never met a libertarian who believed in the right to secretly adulterate product with undetectable slow acting poison customers don't know about or understand.

It's on the level of "you made a choice, alone, purely for the benefit of your family, not much socialist nanny state going on now."

There's plenty to discuss and even argue about across ideological lines. Unless it's straw-men all the way down when there becomes no point, which seems a shame to me.

Maybe next time phrase the thing more along the lines of:

"How do libertarians view such market regulation success?"
Yeah, I think all those scientific papers miss out a lot by not checking how people actually RP with models, especially in regards to the prompts used.
The folks at Sublight Dynamics had a really neat product in this vein that I was excited about. Seems like the perfect flightsim controller. They had trouble getting fully to market. Website is still up though so I'm holding out hope!
Yeah like I'm totally fine with the phrase when it is actually something that doesn't happen in a socialist system but it's just become a standin for "bad". But there's things that are bad that are divorce of capitalism and socialism. I mean... what I referred to is more a result of the human condition and specialization. And I'm not sure why every response is always followed up with a great assumption that I'm capitalist. I'll dunk on capitalism and I'll dunk on communism, but they aren't really related to the topic at hand and don't need to be ham fisted into everything. Weren't we literally complaining about politization and bureaucratization? Those definitely exist in literally all forms of governments, from anarchist to dictatorships. Can we just talk about the thing we're actually trying to talk about? SMH
In the UK both employer and employee pay payroll taxes (national insurance) at about 13% of salary, additionally employers must pay a minimum of 3% of salary to a pension.

Contractors paid themselves a minimum salary to avoid the payroll taxes. They then took the rest of their earnings as dividends from their personal services company instead, the combination of payroll taxes + income taxes being higher than taxes on dividends.

Since that ruse has been heavily restricted, employers have had to increase contractor pay to make-up for contractors having to pay more income tax + national insurance.
I think your picture is slightly inaccurate. It is more like, there are the random arxiv pre-prints, then 1 in 1000 of those get featured in popular press like this or are otherwise truly remarkable, and 1 in 100 of those make it into the textbooks.

The Gauss and Euler results you find in textbooks are not mundane, they are the "arxiv pre-prints" of 200 years ago that made it through the filter of time because they turned out to be important or deep.
I don't think you can call anything wasm efficient.
Recently, SIMD has been increasingly used to make use of the increased number of compute units in a CPU. Sure, it's not as easy and straightforward to use as multithreading (I never expected to say that about multithreading), but libraries and programming languages make more and more use of them.

Edit: latency is difficult. But accellerating CPUs and using GPUs for compute was never about latency. Most I/O bottlenecks are because CPUs have sped up so much and left the rest of the platform in the dust. Much of it is also due to fundamental limitations due to the speed of light. Increasing throughput is always easier that reducing latency.
I think the problem is that science today, in many fields, is slower and requires more work than it used to.

With physics in particular there’s a perception that science should progress fast in spectacular breakthroughs. But the 1900s was a very unique time. It’s not like that anymore. We’ve figured out the “easy” things (relatively speaking), most things left to discover are probably far harder.

So we need to get used to paying scientists and researchers to just play around with whatever they feel like, over long stretches of time. There’s no guarantee that a breakthrough will come from someone strongly embedded in the science mainstream writing lots of articles with tons of citation. And there’s no guarantee that breakthroughs will happen in any reasonable time.

I think we also need a shift from documenting/publishing the results, to documenting/publishing the process. YouTube is interesting in that regard. A lot of creators there doing very interesting and unique work.. and even if they don’t get great results, people still watch it if the process is interesting, and/or if the creator teaches their techniques, what they’re learning, how they failed, etc.

TBH this sounds like a great candidate for rewrite - likely millions of hours of runtime/hour. Prettier is written on a platform with a history of such rewrites getting 10x perf increases. The only alternative that comes to mind is Go but I'm not that offended by Rust choice - has pros and cons.

That is my guess, at least.

I once heard of a (tongue-in-cheek) list of interesting facts about numbers, and I think it listed 37 as the first uninteresting number, but I guess that was wrong.
As a (nominally) front-end developer the RIIR movement's energy is similar to how the front-end community approaches things.

Overall Rust and its community have many traits that make them very approachable to people not expected to know anything about systems programming, namely:

-Package manager with a familiar philosophy behind it (and not the sort of hell you have to deal with setting up a C++ development environment).

-Outputs WASM without much bureaucracy and advertises it.

-Friendly compiler messages. I don't recall seeing "perhaps" in a compiler error message before.

The people designing Rust put much effort into making the language as approachable as possible and that's the net effect.

That is not to say this is going to be necessarily successful, but so far the enthusiasm is there.
"Run LlaMA 2 on WASM in 2 MB RAM"

This has the added advantage of being completely gibberish to someone outside tech.

Edit: wait, it's not RAM, the binary is just 2 MB. That's disappointing.
Because bureaucracies and politics also existed under every communist regime. They exist in anarchist communities. They exist in households. But the difference is the degree of separation you are from those in power structures. And before you say that anarchism doesn't have a power structure (and there's many forms of anachism, just as there are many forms of socialism, communism, libertarianism, capitalism, liberalism, etc) if a power structure isn't explicit it is implicit. Which is rather well known in anarchist literature. We saw metric hacking in The Soviet Union, in The US, in China, in The UK, in Germany, France, Cuba, Colonial Korea, Colonial India (hell, we even got a stats term that everyone now knows out of that one), Feudal Europe, and far back into the Greeks, Ancient China, and as far back as we have literature. Which last I checked, most of those things predate capitalism but do not predate bureaucrats nor politics.

I hate to break it to you, but not everything is about economics.
I wouldn't care if someone said they wouldn't marry whomever I married for some deal breaker unique to them.

If I disagree with it, I'd think "their loss, sucks to have weird arbitrary standards"

If I agreed then I'd have been lying about my happiness with the relationship.

Either way some things need to be said. I haven't seen any good arguments in favor of purchasing a diamond ring which don't seem to dismiss and devalue the agency and right to an opinion of the purchaser.
Both languages being in the Indo-European language family, that's not very surprising.

I understand the problem, beggars add noise to an important contact signal point…

But this idea that people 'did actually already do the "work" for free' so don't deserve remuneration… isn't great.

Lot's of people do spec work to try and get paid, or to get more work. The recipient is free to negotiate, rebuff or simply ignore it, but this idea that time sunk is valueless is unhelpful.

Not defending "Hammad" here. If you do spec security work you need to lead with what you've got, even if that's just a rough CVE severity rating, and your price. But I think I'd rather have people checking my configuration and taxing me for my errors than not to know at all.
I have learnt from a historian that when the elites adopt the modes of the plebeians, things go badly wrong.
A little bit of necrosis is bad, but if its everywhere, all your problems magically go away! (/s)
Can you elaborate on what you find impressive? I know nothing about this stuff so I can't appreciate it.
Yes, it’s science, precisely for the reason I raised, which is that fundamental research is still needed and still being done before it can get to the point of being pure engineering. There’s no path to viable controlled nuclear fusion that can be achieved by simply applying engineering principles using known physics.

That’s why the Fusion Energy Sciences program within the Department of Energy’s Office of Science was allocated three quarters of a billion dollars in the 2023 appropriations bill.

Here’s a list of institutions involved in fusion research in the US alone:

https://science.osti.gov/fes/Research/Fusion-Institutions

There are similar lists for all the countries involved in the $40+ billion ITER experiment.

Of course, there’s serious engineering involved in these projects as well, just as there is for the LHC, for example. But presumably you wouldn’t call the research being done at the LHC “particle engineering”.

The Mechrevo Code 01 was a Tong Fang ODM chassis. XMG/Tuxedo (sister companies) have varying laptop models from both Tong Fang (Uniwill now?) and Clevo.

Historically, a lot of devs using Linux laptops have preferred iGPU models both to maximize useful perf/watt (dGPUs models tended to drain power much faster even when idle) and b/c most dGPU laptops are Nvidia-based and the driver issues used to be terrible. I wonder if that calculus will be changing now w/ local LLM code-helpers and other AI apps benefit greatly from stronger GPUs.

absolubtely! sight is an amazingly high-bandwidth sense, as is hearing.

Other types of interfaces do exist, for example ive worked with vibration motor arrays placed on the skin for various purposes such as assisting in guiding the arm of a patient to target a specific point (vibrate on side closest to target) etc. We also worked with pads of electrical patches that pass small currents through the skin to produce a distinct sensation, like pain but barely at the threshold of being noticable. These were used for first responders, placed along the side of the torso underneath the clothes with flat profile, allowing them to have handsfree silent communication with low bandwidth. Something like "up up left left" being pre-agreed to mean leave the structure now etc. Another fun one I wanted to mention is in-mouth joysticks controlled with the tongue for quadreplegic patients to allow them to move a wheelchair or robot arm to regain some small independance (might seem like it would be uselessly hard to achieve anything with an arm controlled that way but the emotional impact of independance can't be understated for such people, even a simple task can be very meaningful)

They won't be as good as screens or audio unfortunately. But they can exist. Even braille screens and keyboards exist as a nice product and are reasonably high bandwidth.

Large Language Models are predictors. Not imitators, not simulators. Those are just apparent byproducts of performant prediction.

The end goal and what the loss trending down to is to perfectly model the data it's been given.

So it will not stop at "surface level similarity" or "plausible" or "uninspired" or whatever arbitrary competency line anyone tries to draw in the sand.

It will continue to improve until it is "correct" (as determined by the data).

Stick a bunch of protein sequences and it's not going to stop when it starts generating alphanumeric sequences that look like proteins but really aren't.

It's eventually going to start generating real proteins.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01618-2

Then it's going to keep improving until it models the distribution of proteins in the dataset.

I'm honestly not sure what the point of this paper is.

"It is, perhaps, somewhat reassuring to know that LLM-based dialogue agents are not conscious entities with their own agendas and an instinct for self-preservation, and that when they appear to have those things it is merely role play."

Ignoring the whole, "We don't know what consciousness is", it just seems devoid of any meaningful distinction.

"Merely roleplay". What does that even mean ?
That's it's not real ? Not really.

They seem to understand this too.

"It would be little consolation to a user deceived into sending real money to a real bank account to know that the agent that brought this about was only playing a role."

Bing has a habit of ending conversations when users say upsetting things. You can talk all you want about how "it's not really upset" but the conversation did end and now you have to start over and be potentially less confrontational if you want to move forward.

"Roleplay" as consequential as the "real thing" is the real thing.

This shiny piece of yellow metal looks like gold, tests like gold, sells like gold but is not...real gold ?

Not unless you have a meaningless definition of real.
To an engineer's eye this might make sense, but the significant cost of a diamond is actually the very point of buying it. And it's hardly an odd thing - the history of human civilisation is littered with examples of spending for the sole purpose of being able parade the purchase.
