Hi! Reaching out here because I can't find your contact info on the site.
I submitted "Volkseigene GPT" (Publicly Owned GPT) earlier today. Would you mind re-categorizing it from "Helper" to "Personality?"
Thanks in advance!
I vaguely remembered I read some news about Braid that it was originally developed by a single developer, and he was involved in some serious scandal/imprisoned, thus stopped developing a possible sequel. Was it true or was it about the Fez game instead of Braid? If it was true, are the new edition taken over by new dev?
I'd love to hear more about the challenges of getting the hardware working.
In order for access to media to be provided media has to exist. If those who create media cannot recover tte investments they make to create that media, less media will exist. Therefore piracy, which denies media creators the chance to recover their investments, harms society by reducing the potential amount of media that exists.

...at least, that's a hypothesis, but reality makes things trickier because not all media is a benefit to society. (As an example, those anime that were produced under the guidance of the Happy Science group.)
Well if you're not memory bandwidth bound, you're compute bound by definition.
From the end user POV, no difference - you still need to provide the original game files in order to play.

From an engineering POV it's great that it no longer needs to call into the old executable; they may be able to drop some legacy code and change some internal types, clearing the road to more changes in the future.
This shouldn't be downvoted. It is a legitimate question and widely held misconception that is addressed in several of the responses to parent.

If you have a nasty nasty difficult to find bug that emerged some time ago, and your history is littered with merge commits, git bisect is going to go badly. If your history is linear, and your data model is compatible with itself across history for the bits you're interested in, and you can write a sane test case - auto or manual, then your troubleshooting is going to be O(n^x) simpler than the case where you've got merge commits, and save you many hours. Not something I have to do often (once a year or less really) but valuabable enough that it's important to me nonetheless.

Rewriting history when things land in develop/master I think is a good thing. To use an analogy from the humanities, history is written by the winner.

At work we're collaborating with the merge camp at the moment and it's very difficult to work out what they're doing from reading their history - some of it is their bad practices elsewhere, but the merge commits are confusing.

I'd also be fine with no rebasing but any merges must be fast forward, so if you can't do that fix your problems prior to integration.

Also I've used a few different approaches for a few different projects, and the rebase/squash merge approach is the one that in my experience makes things clearer and easier to understand. I'd be reluctant to return to other approaches (aside from enforcing fast forward merges in public branches).

I believe that squash merges are a good compromise as so long as you don't mess with the reflog and keep the automated parts of the commit messages, then there is no lying about history.

> Russian and Chinese Surface to Air Missile (SAM) systems are really good

Their radars seem good. Russian “hypersonic” missiles [1] and S-400 batteries [2] are being taken out by decades-old Patriots and ATACMS. They’re demonstrably garbage.

Two months in the OP has destroyed whatever goodwill there was and lost the backing of management…I mean management talked to the “problematic” people and sided with them.

Maybe simply because firing people is expensive. But probably not solely for that.

I mean they hired the OP to fix the team not destroy it.

They could have fired them all instead of bringing the OP in.

The OP is showing a naïveté regarding ordinary organizational reality and managing up as poorly as they are managing down.

Fire the developers who aren’t using tests? Now you have two problems.
Putin is taking care of Russia and the people he considers to be under Russia's care. As far as I know from my immediate family, living under Putin is pretty nice. The economy has actually gotten stronger since the invasion. They're doing better than we are in the US on prices and imports. The sanctions are a joke, and BRICS is really strong.

That's all immaterial compared to the actual discussion here, and I appreciate you clarifying your position.
Or how you could ask 10 people what Net Neutrality meant and get 12 different answers, none of which related to the proposed policies?
This got me thinking. What about two new docblock tags?
@handwritten
@generated

The first, if used, implies the code can be contextualized through another employee at the office (the one who wrote it).

The second, if used, implies you may not be able to get an answer as to why the code was written as it was, since an LLM generated it.

I built a fake terminal on my website[0]. I've been planning on building an actual one that is compiled to WASM, but it was fun building the little features such as a memory of entered commands that can be navigated by pressing up and down with the arrow keys. This looks like a great resource for me to take it to the next level. Are there any concerns I should be aware of if I were to deploy a working terminal on a website?

Technically, defining something as being true only sometimes makes it true in fact ("All bachelors are unmarried", for example), in other cases (like this one) it only causes it to appear true...but then, if one considers the theory that reality is equal to people's perception of it, it is usually a moot distinction ...but not always.
927 is a really overused comic. It doesn't apply if companies are big enough to push them pretty much by fiat.

There are no true competing standards because none of them are built into Ubuntu, which is a major benefit. It you make a snap package you know any Ubuntu user can install it on very few clicks.

The only other things built into Ubuntu are apt and manual install, which have obvious issues and aren't direct competition.
There's a huge win to be had though with "this is my natural language data, give me natural language insights at a 100 foot view, at a 50,000 foot view, etc". This is one of the big pulls OpenAI is hoping for w/ GPTs/Assistants.
In America we need to get rid of sub-minimum wages as it's currently legal in many states (Arkansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, etc.) to pay under the federal minimum wage ($7.25 per hour) and make up that salary by tips. Source:
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped

And I would also encourage people to patronize businesses that pay their workers higher wages. Also some of these businesses have higher prices and don't accept tips.

I live in near Seattle and when I patronize the cafe at Ada's Technical Books in Seattle I'm happy with paying a higher prices for food or drinks because they have explicitly say they don't accept tips and pay their workers higher wages. Source:

> Upon landing, police officers took Mr. Emerson, 44, into custody, and Multnomah County prosecutors charged him with 83 counts of attempted murder — one for every passenger and crew member he was accused of trying to kill.

Clearly, he wasn't intentionally trying to kill each and every one of the individuals with malice aforethought, and there are probably quite a number of other crimes/charges that would more appropriately fit.
Ok, but it's not really useful to talk about extreme outliers. Median sales px of a home in the US is 431,000.
Similar issue with the 16GB (flash) iPad Mini, where iOS takes like 12GB of flash up.
Ed Witten is uncharacteristically brilliant and yet he (in my opinion) fell prey to the “masses” of physicists who clung to String theory despite its inability to yield results. Imo, that’s a counter example to your point. Thinking differently than other people and outside the masses doesn’t make one smart, take any non Ted Kasinski serial killer
> extract phantom taxes

I don’t think this is a good characterization of bribery. Probably just better to say “extract money” or “personal profit”, taxes are not bribery and are used to support government’s ability to do things like maintain infrastructure, pay for schools, etc. They are not generally for enriching individuals, unless there is also fraud going on.
You are off in a parallel universe if sleep mode on your Mac is a failing comparison point here.
Possibly. I'm alluding to the spiritual disposition that expects 4.97 stars or bust. In relationship terms this often maps to expecting the perfect dinner company. When the actual company disappointingly fails to meet that standard, they are summarily dismissed, and the whole experience turns into superficial theater of appearances.
I agree but the irony is strong here. Criticize dismissal of politicians and then proceed to do exactly just that.
If you're interested in this, you should definitely check out the documentary Birdmen of Istanbul[1]. Turn on captions for English subtitles. It tells the story of the residents of bird cafes in Istanbul and the very old tradition of goldfinch, greenfinch and siskin training for singing.

They're completely obsessed with birds, dedicating their whole lives to finding and training them. They have special vocabulary for classifying different bird songs. It's known to be a dying tradition as well but this documentary might have rekindled the interest.

1) Desktop, many thousands of remote severs

2) Poor interactions with Linus, DaveM, and the Linux community (see below)

3) Performance

4a) A different package system, more akin to Ubuntu LTS with PPAs, so we could have stable packages for 99% of things, but could get the latest versions of software when needed.

4b) ebpf/xdp

5) Missing ^T (SIGINFO) support, simple init system, a kernel that makes sense

In 1994, I was a linux fanatic, with a stack of floppies I'd use to install linux on any pc I could get my hands on. I landed a job as a sysadmin for a stats dept, where we were using ancient DECstations running ULTRIX. Disk space was expensive, and TeX fonts were large. So we kept TeX fonts centrally located in NFS. The DECstations were old and slow compared to PCs (12.5MHz mips, vs 66Mhz 486), so I wanted to replace them with PCs running Linux. The problem came that it took the DECs ~1 second to render latex .dvi file using xdvi. It took a linux box a minute or more. This was because the DECs did NFS file caching, while Linux didn't, and xdvi seeked around at random in the font files.

I went to the 1994 Boston USENIX and met Linus at the Linux BOF. I asked him about NFS file caching. He said something like "bah, nobody uses NFS, we have no plans to implement any sort of NFS caching, its not important".. So I got up, went to the FreeBSD BOF, and they said it should work just fine. I've been a FreeBSD user ever since.

Then ~10 years later, working for a company making one of the first 10GbE NICs, I had submitted our base driver and got it accepted via the netdev list. I then completed work on TCP LRO in our driver, submitted that, and got it NACK'ed for the reasonable reason that they didn't want to have multiple LRO implementations. EVEN THOUGH OUR COMPETITOR'S DRIVER HAD THEIR OWN LRO IN THEIR DRIVER, AND ANOTHER VENDOR SUBMITTED A DRIVER WITH THE BASE DRIVER AND LRO IN THE SAME PATCH AFTER US AND GOT IT ACCEPTED, AND THEY DIDNT RIP LRO OUT OF THE OTHER DRIVERS. So our driver had dog-shit performance out of the box due to a lack of LRO as compared to 2 of our competitors. At that point I was pretty much done with Linux.

Compared to FreeBSD, where we had the best LRO in our driver, and a few other vendors copy/pasted it, and it wound up eventually being centralized as tcp_lro.c and driver-specific LRO ripped out.
Google has infinite money and doesn't have to care about things like that. They can waste money on food just like they waste it hiring 10000 engineers who don't do any work.
Man I saw this product recently it was like "Use AI for SEO, everything else sucks". $3K/mrr I feel like people can just make things up, hype, some landing page, people buy it, get burned, that company disappears.
> I also feel like there are larger societal issues that foster such problems and going after the tech is probably a relatively weak solution that tends to make people comfortable with leaving other issues unresolved.

that's my feelings and unfortunately going after the middleman is an increasingly popular strategy. It's more a matter of how many lawyers the website can throw at the issue because every single site that allows user hosted content will run into this issue. Sweeping the problem further under the rug instead of funding actual solutions.
Plenty of high end restaurants in the city do this. The problem is that it usually makes things worse. If I want to book a dinner, and the restaurant has something like a $200 non-refundable deposit, I'm going to think long and hard before committing because my plans can always change. A bot on the other hand wouldn't hesitate because they can turn around and sell the reservation to anyone they want. The deposit is simply a cost of doing business for them.
It might be right to call Jon Postel a hippie, but Vint Cerf sports a three piece suit. The Internet was designed by DARPA contractors and university grad students, so it’s a bit of a weird mix.
One graph at the end of the article shows the population growth per age group. According to that, the number of children in 2060 will be the same as today (1.8 billion). But the number of people that are 70+ will grow form 0.3 to 1.5 billion.
I was not aware of that. This impresses me a lot.

I see this strong trend for the first time. I wonder what it will change in the society and economy.
That sounds like some great revisionist history.

Thousands of sysadmins, open source devs, even Hatters themselves used CentOS as a proxy for RHEL where they didn't want to deal with licensing crap.

In the middle of the CentOS 8 lifecycle, they converted CentOS to CentOS Stream (nobody asked for this), forcing everyone who had migrated their tooling and infra from CentOS 7 to 8 to migrate instead to... what?

Rocky/Alma stepped in and saved the day for all those folks.

Then in the middle of the CentOS Stream 9 lifecycle, they hid some of the sources required for rebuilding a CentOS-equivalent (at least simply/easily) behind a Red Hat account and told the community they should be happy with 16 dev licenses for RHEL if they truly needed RHEL compatibility.

As I said then, "no thanks."

Oh. Microsoft invents new APIs and don’t maintain them. Win32, MFC, WinForms, WPF, WTL, WinUI - What is the next? Therefore Windows looks like a patchwork and is hard to use. And half of the UI is literally still Win2k. For applications by others anyway no rules exist.

Linux? Gtk and Qt are maintained for years. They deprecate the old stuff and then a new major release is published. While the old release is maintained and they even care about keeping Gtk3 and Gtk2 aligend and bugs fixed. People complain about upgrades - but actually there are updates and upgrades.

PS: Don’t mention Silverlight.
At one time low altitude was the best way to evade air defense as fighters didn't have look down/shoot down radar capability. They do now, so the low altitude mission might help with ground based radar (by using the earth and geographic features to hide), but an enemy with modern fighters and AWACS capability makes this profile difficult.

Launch date November 16, 2022, 06:47:44 UTC (1:47 am EST)

"Artemis 1 was outlined by NASA as Exploration Mission 1 (EM-1) in 2012, at which point it was set to launch in 2017"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_2

"Launch date
During preliminary reviews in 2011, the launch date was placed somewhere between 2019 and 2021, but afterwards the launch date was delayed to 2023 on an SLS launch vehicle.[25][26] Although, as of March 2023, the mission is pegged for a November 2024 launch,[1] the need to recycle and refurbish components from Orion that flew on Artemis 1 may push this back to later in 2024 or the first quarter of 2025"

> Che was a sociopathic extreme homophobe and mass murderer

The homophobic claim is patently false. He had no involvement in Cuba's treatment of gay people, and the only quote in which he even mentions gay people is about how he was bothered when a guy he liked was beat up. The homophobia accusation is mostly just peddled as a gotcha question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5eFPgvhS60

Shots inside an aircraft usually use a set. If you watch any Netflix series at all, you start to see the same A320-based aircraft cabin set used over and over again in different shows. It looks just like an A320 cabin interior, but split in two lengthways and the aisle widened, with a flat panel added in the ceiling to fill in the gap from the widening. Once you know what to look for you realize it’s the same set every time.

It’s possible they used the actual aircraft in this case because they were filming an ad or some other promotional material for the tour company, perhaps.
With SWD and a Tag-Connect connector[1]. I watched someone on youtube recommend it due to the small space and low profile. You can use the VSCode NRF Connect SDK plugin (coupled with Jlink or NRF52 dev kit) to flash the device. But of course you can just use USB und copy a generated .hex file directly on the device. I use SWD because its faster to flash many boards by just pressing the pogo pins on the connector pad. Boom done. :)

If you are at a university I highly recommend trying to take a subject on UNIS.
If you want to see some really brutal wars, you need to go back from the Middle Ages into Antiquity.

The ancient empires were able to gather armies much larger than any medieval king could, and, at the same time, people had few qualms about genocide. There weren't even religious reasons not to commit one, much less any chivalry codes etc.

The Romans in particular had the principle of "aries murum attigit", which meant that a city had time to surrender until the first battering ram touched its walls. After that, the captives would be put to the sword.
This struck a chord. We truly are lucky to coexist with our furry friends. Thanks for sharing
> what's the point of having a super expensive bomber plane with an actual human pilot vs. having a much cheaper, autonomous, hyper-sonic, and disposable delivery vehicle

Russian hypersonic missiles are being shot down by old Patriots [1]. Meanwhile, our commercial autonomous systems—arguably ahead of our military’s—still lag humans.

If we want to bomb someone, land-based missiles are the way to go. They overwhelm defences. And they’ll be just as loud as a hypersonic missile.

Bombers, on the other hand, can fly stealthily. They can also loiter, similar to a carrier strike group, sending a message without provoking MAD.

> The temperature of the water in the caverns varies between 50 and 90 °C.

Presumably 50 is in April or May and 90 is in August or September. Or are these swings shorter-term ?
> That’s maybe 20k cycles for the round trip (read IDT and GDT, go through the whole awful ucode flow, and jump to kernel, then do the work, and the do IRET, which is, again, amazingly slow).

For comparison to the protected-mode version you've outlined: in real-mode, there's no GDT (all segments are 64 kilobytes in length, with their base address given by the value of the segment register shifted left by 4 bits), and the IDT is actually the IVT, a 1024-byte list of 256 segment:offset addresses that begins at memory address zero. There's no switching from user mode to kernel mode. And all IRET has to do is pop flags, segment and offset from the stack, and jump to it.

In the code above, the biggest bottleneck would be probably be the (VGA)BIOS's implementation of the print character function, which was usually dog slow, as it would look up the current cursor position by querying VGA registers using the x86 port IO instructions, which were quite slow even at the time, and would have to do so for each character.

I wouldn't call it fast, but it's good enough for displaying a few short messages onscreen in an assembly-language program, for example a bootloader.
>And why not just remove video chat completely and keep the text chat and with higher moderation and tools, it should have been possible to keep the problems at bay.

I am sure that was very possible. But from the tone of the creator's last post, it sounds like this was the camel that broke the camel's back, after years of straw that was already on the way to breaking it. He just sounded like it was becoming harder to manage and affecting his mental health. A single lawsuit will certainly do damage, but it didn't sound like the only factor in closing it down.
This is a blog post from Google Cloud marketing. It's saying that you, too, could train an LLM on Google Cloud if you hand them enough money. You can't do that on Inflection's or Tesla's clusters.

The PaLM paper linked in the blog post is about how to get something actually useful out of that compute.
