>it's usually exploitable in proportion to current standing

As I reckon it, standing is derived from the system. The system gives license to Apple to patent certain aspects of design, trademarks, etc. They don't have a truly market-derived end, what they have is derived from a much greater system in competition with others who've been borne similarly by systemic effects rather than market pressure. Restoring market pressures by breaking down such walls - certainly a progressive talking point - seems more likely to induce competition and thus affecting prices and priorities across the board.

I'd also make the aside here that I expect a large proportion of the businesses extant today existed in a "pre-capture" environment and made up the "post-capture" environment up for themselves, that is to say they wrote the book on what defines dumping by bribery which also bought them the lax oversight on antitrust - giving them license to subsume competition and permeate the market and expand.

That is to say take away an avenue like IP from companies like Adobe for example, and commodify their products. Conversely, giving competitors license to make bold faces copies of competitor's products results. In either case, I would expect the end to be very similar: more real competition as in driven by market pressure and selection.

With that said, such a policy wouldn't remedy conglomeration, which I would definitely submit is a problem, but ostensibly in many domains this would be a self-correcting as the barrier of entry doesn't require reinventing the wheel as a non-wheel-geometric-rolling-variation-on-a-circle-that's-never-quite right.

Two possible options among the universe of options:

- The count of ideological voices somehow prevents minority views from publishing their views across the millions of venues?

- Could it be that Registered Republican voices are few because the worldview doesn't stand up to scrutiny?
You can try, but other models in this class have struggled when initialized using model states pulled from other analysis systems.

ECMWF publishes a tool that can help bootstrap simple inference runs with different AI models [1] (they have plugins for several). You could write a tool that re-maps a GDAS analysis to "look like" ERA-5 or IFS analysis, and then try feeding it into GraphCast. But YMMV if the integration is stable or not - models like PanguWx do not work off-the-shelf with this approach.

And where are they more likely to be hit by one? Probably in a denser populated area with heavier traffic. You can’t just wave a magic wand and make all the cars go away.

Regardless, you have to make cities a desirable and affordable place to live for this to work at scale. You can’t just fix it at the transportation infrastructure level.

If I’m looking for affordability, low violent crime, and good schools, I am not looking anywhere in the city where I live. It didn’t used to be this way, but post-covid housing costs are so high that I have to go 40+ minutes out of the city to get those things. If you don’t change that, many people with families are just going to deal with traffic being worse rather than moving into the city.
I haven't noticed it asking for the captcha yet on automatic logout, but I'd imagine it would be there all the same if I had to guess.
And here we are, exchanging views on the subject, for which I am sincerely grateful you took the effort to write your take on "my precious nugget' (love the metaphor!)

Perhaps it is good to add that I do try to gauge other people's willingness to talk before making any move. It gets easier to recognise and - this is something the author of the book noted to - somehow other people that are willing to talk sort of engage by themselves as if they recognise my willingness to talk. I think this happens because of non-verbal clues we are capable of picking up because of our evolution as species.

And I am sure you would signal as "do not disturb" on my "stranger radar" - which I would absolutely respect diligently.
Happy day to you, too. :-)
I had the opposite experience.

Every plugin in nvim required to learn some new different bs shortcut to have basic features.
Plus, I ran into plenty of crashes and weird error in some plugins - and performance wasn't always great.

The editing is fine, you can get used to buffer editing - it's everything else which is not polished and feels like a pile of half implemented features.

Right. But you do realise, if there is political capital or some other advantage to be gained by this perception, that the fbi or some other agency, would potentially undertake an operation that would allow the impression to be given that it was Russia that did it?

> A space drone with gas propulsion and a grasping hand?

Please, for this application you should use the term, "gripping hand".

To be more substantive: now you mention it I haven't heard of such a device and I also wonder why. Makes sense for inspection (but how much happens?) though retrieving lost tools sound quite difficult.

And though difficult, it seems like something worth becoming good at. Seems like a 1U might be big enough to hold a small drone and some things to retrieve. However you'd have to design your experiment carefully so that something you failed to retrieve would rather soon reenter the atmosphere and not become dangerous orbiting junk. I don't know how easy this would be: what if the drone tried to grab it and added a non-normal (i.e. sideways) component that put the target on a potentially destructive trajectory?

I can't find the details, but if the supercomputer job only had to run once, or a few times, while this model can make accurate predictions repeatedly on unique situations, then it doesn't matter as much that a supercomputer was required. The goal is to use the supercomputer once, to create a high value simulated dataset, then repeatedly make predictions from the lower-cost models.
I don't think the top comment is advocating this be foisted on everyone. This will work a lot better if everyone acknowledges it, makse a cultural shift and then policy will follow. Obviously that's not easy, but it can happen.

I've been contemplating the impact of Large Language Models (LLMs) on our work and if their influence is ultimately gloomy. For me it seems to hinge on whether one is goal-oriented or process-oriented.

For those who are goal-oriented, the focus is on the outcome: discovering new things, earning money, or making an impact. LLMs can achieve many of these objectives, potentially overshadowing the achievements of goal-driven individuals. This could be particularly disheartening when the goals are as fundamental as earning a living.

On the other hand, those who are process-oriented value the journey itself - the state of flow, the challenge of problem-solving. For them, the advent of LLMs is less troubling. It's not the first time a process has been automated away from humans: Knitting remains a beloved activity despite the existence of industrial looms. Enjoying programming for its own sake is unaffected by the efficiency or capabilities of LLMs.

I think it's valid to be upset about LLMs taking jobs. But under the assumption that one's basic needs are met, I think it's a good reminder that focusing on process over goals can make you both happier and more resilient to outside change.

Even if we put away conversation about OS-provided vs. direct-from-developer libraries, why would one want centralized repositories like crates.io, instead of decentralized CVSs like Git, and just link Git URL like dependencies? Seems to me that such centralized repositories have all common disadvantages of centralized solutions, but without their advantages.
The book Willem says he is reading, by Joe Keohane, talks about the benefits of talking to strangers, and calls this "connecting". That is not at all what psychologists mean by "connecting". I talk to people all the time, both familiar and strange, and yet am not connected to anyone, in the latter sense.
Read https://wiki.osdev.org/X86-64_Instruction_Encoding#Legacy_Pr...

The REP prefixes are the most common; they just let you perform the same instruction a variable number of times. It looks in the CX register for the count. This makes many common loops really, really short, especially for moving objects around in memory. The memcpy function is often inlined as a single REP MOVS instruction, possibly with an instruction to copy the count into CX if it isn’t already there.

I suppose the REX (operand size) prefix is pretty common too, since 64–bit programs will want to operate on 64–bit values and addresses pretty frequently.

None of the prefixes toggle things that can be set globally, by the BIOS or otherwise. They all just specify things that the next instruction needs to do.
Just in case you don’t know, packages can no longer be pulled from npm by the developer. At least not without emailing someone. And you need a very good reason - like that version is ransomware.

The particular pulled package version identifier (foo@1.0.1) can also never be reused. If you audit 1.0.1, it will never change out from under you.

The leftpad fiasco was hilarious and embarrassing. But it can’t happen again because of changes in npm policy.
The things you mentioned are not solved by a typical "SBOM" but e.g. CycloneDX has extra fields to record provenance and pedigree and things like in-toto (https://in-toto.io/) or SLSA (https://slsa.dev/) also aim to work in this field.

I've spent the last six months in this field and people will tell you that this or that is an industry best practice or "a standard" but in my experience none of that is true. Everyone is still trying to figure out how best to protect the software supply chain security and things are still very much in flux.
Pushing towards a certain set of values doesn't require coordination, only mindshare.
Yeah, no. If the only reason to do it is to accommodate poorly made accessibility software then count me out. That's bad reasoning and the 'correct' elements will change with the accessibility software.

Logically it should be the reverse. Screenreaders can learn how to detect all clickable elements instead of shoehorning a form control element into places.
Is trying to take a nuanced view really a common talking point? I mean, hopefully it is, but to suggest that saying "both are lying to the same extent" is Russian propaganda seems poisonous to me. Like how can we actually have a conversation if you just dismiss a priori other perspectives? Almost certainly both sides are lying to some extent, whether to the same extent who knows but certainly up for discussion and debate.

Not willing to entertain the idea that yes Ukraine is lying and engaging in propaganda too (just like the Russians), I'd say that yes you are echoing western propaganda; though it may not be conscious, hence the word echo.

This is a very interesting attitude. Have you at all considered your impact on others?
Just to reflect that back to you - you're responding to some folks (including myself) who are presenting a game-theoretic argument, and your response stems from "I am about to become psychotic."

If your goal is to persuade others to think more like you, "coming from a crazy place" isn't a good way to do that. If you think that people are making an illogical argument, then either present a parallel argument or better yet find the flaw in their logic.

The way you're engaging makes it seem like "logic" is on one side and "psychosis" is on the other side - so someone reading this who could be persuaded one way or the other, has zero reason to go with you.
How does "AI" help here? Apart from attracting interest and funding I mean.
I felt the same way and recently did the whole 92 questions of CodeSignal's Python Arcade section (https://app.codesignal.com/arcade/python-arcade). This made me completely fluent on modern Python syntax and the questions themselves are very easy so can be done quickly. You are really only re-learning Python's syntax as opposed to doing hard algorithmic problems or anything like that (although I do recommend doing this as you'll be able to touch on Python's standard library more).

I guess the one thing that you don't get to do with that approach is build something interesting or use `async-await` but it gets you fluent with the syntax again which is an important first step.
I think 10 days is basically the normal term for weather, in that we can get decent predictions for that span using "classical"/non-ML methods.

This "solution" is worse than the original problem.
Yes, but on Earth you have the option of being a bastard who pushes your problems onto other systems. On Mars you have no choice but to develop closed circular systems. It's harder to engineer but harder to sin, too. I have high hopes that we will figure out the engineering. I have low hopes that we will figure out how to systematically avoid temptation. I think space exploration is the best way to figure out circular systems at scale, and hopefully those lessons can be backported.

It creates a feedback loop too. You see a lot less in traffic when all the cars around you are SUV's... so you buy an SUV.

Then you get some less self aware people complaining because they think there is some grand conspiracy to shrink parking spaces and roads.

It's cool to see these kinds of things running, even if it's just for 'why not' reasons. The 'Try it out' demo was really neat! Love the idea of these tools. Maybe we'll see something like a Jupyter Notebook or Apache Zeppelin running solely in the browser without any need for a backend besides something that serves a static page, especially as we see WASM and WebGPU continue maturing.

A good reminder (from May 2020) to us all on how we need to be thoughtful and intentional about how much surveillance of ourselves we allow. Perhaps the best way to avoid surveillance is to be well-behaved; that is, increased crime in any jurisdiction is what will be used as a justification for more surveillance.

I first thought “Another editor, we don’t need that…” but this one actually gets everything even more right than neovim! Plugins on WASM, written entirely in Rust, renders via wgpu, built in Remote Development. Only thing missing is an official built-in package manager, to avoid the mistake neovim did. A non-barebones VSCode like out-of-the-box configuration would be the cherry on top.

I took the entire pandemic off from programming, and when I had to go back to find a job, I needed to level up quickly to be able to pass programming interviews.

I wrote a program to start downloading stock quotes, then added writing to a database, then added code to graph it with flask, etc. If you choose something you're interested in and keep expanding the scope of the project, it's the best way to learn.

And functionally, Python 3 isn't a huge difference over Python 2, especially if you're starting from scratch again. For me the biggest change is adding parentheses around my print statements. Everything else is pretty similar.

It can't possibly be a "hard conversation to have" because people disagree with you, huh? It has to be that the car companies brainwashed them?

I see this everywhere on social media. "I have an opinion, my opinion is the right one, and if you disagree with me, you didn't actually come to an independent conclusion, you were just brainwashed or had an emotional response."
No collision of 2 surfboards is going to loft debris high enough to be in a stable orbit. If the common point of orbit is 500km, all of that debris will de-orbit.

This is completely false. Vehicular manslaughter carries a long sentence (2-4 years is not uncommon), especially if you are driving dangerously at the time. The driver can also get sued by the family of the person who was run over for massive damages.

This all assumes, however, that the accident was actually the fault of the driver. In many cases, it's actually not their fault, in which case the lawsuit from the family goes out the window and the sentence also tends to get reduced. The cases you are thinking of probably involved a pedestrian running into the street without seeing the car or a cyclist doing something equally stupid.

You might find https://syften.com/ interesting. I use it for monitoring Reddit and all kinds of communities for mentions of my name and the titles of my books.
It kinda makes sense. You can burn natural gas to make electricity. You get 0.4 energy units of electricity for each energy unit of natural gas. Heat pump COP is say 3.5. So you get 1.4 units of heating out. Converting to electricity has costs that eat away at that 1.4 units.

Call it a wash.

The big differences are the electric grid can be powered by zero carbon sources. And burning natural gas is a local pollutant. And if you ditch gas you don't need to maintain commercial and residential gas infrastructure.
