IIRC, the 386 and 387 were exactly the same chip. The difference between them being the 387 had an activated math processor while the 386 did not.

If you plugged in a 387, it would disable the 386 chip and take over all the work of computation. Apparently, happened because the math coprocessor was where most of the manufacturing errors occurred so Intel just sold the defective chips as 386s in order to increase throughput
Nah, they really don’t.

The fact solarwinds or equifax exist after such egregious security errors with a botched response at best or an intentional attempt at covering up the size/scope of the problems at worse should tell you everything you need to know.
I'm still rocking a 2012 built HP EliteBook 8540w which I bought second hand in 2015. The weight of the thing is a little bit annoying and the battery is dead. It has never failed me, running Windows 10 now. It has always come back from standby and hibernate without fail. By far the most reliable computer I own. But it is showing its age though, not because of the hardware but because of software. Windows 11 doesn't run smooth on it unfortunately :-(.
You can get the relationship:

1 - x^2 < cos(x)^2 < 1 / (1 + x^2)

from ordinary trigonometry, although you can't just do this with nilsquare infinitesimals; you need a more sophisticated setup.
Considering that the flight termination system failed people were in danger of getting hit by a whole rocket...

I would trust that the FAA has made them fix that issue though... Apart from that issue keep out zones are designed assuming it blows up on the launch pad/at any point in flight, so it's pretty safe.
> However, they are not allowed to lie during trial.

outright lie? no. but that doesn't matter when it's just your word against theirs and they have some outsized influence in the community as a savior figure.
Elon mentioned on the JRE podcast the other day that the clearance for FAA, F&W, Coast Guard, etc is so extensive that they even had to try and calculate the likelihood of hitting a shark with debris which is so astronomically small of a chance that its pointless and ridiculous.

So yeah, I think they have the human factor of the safety planning covered.

In 90% of cases, these people have consented to sell their intellectual output to their employers, and in remaining 9,9%, they have consented to release it under an open source license. In both cases, it's completely unfair for them to expect any additional monetary reward for any use of their code above what they have already consented to — salary in the first case and nothing in the second.

I have one of the lcdfans modded Thinkpads. It's a "T70"—a T60 with an i7, 16GB of memory, the old style keyboard, a giant SSD, and, importantly, a high DPI display.

It's an awesome machine but it might as well be a desktop because it's so bulky and heavy that I never take it anywhere.

I travel with my M2 Mac but that Thinkpad sure is a sleeper.
Mythbusters tested "talking to plants;" as I recall it did in fact work, loud music also caused greater growth than controls.

I’ve never found GPT-4 capable of producing a useful solution in my niche of engineering.

When I’m stumped, it’s usually on a complex and very multi-faceted problem where the full scope doesn’t fit into the human brain very well. And for these problems, GPT will produce some borderline unworkable solutions. It’s like a jack of all trades and master of none in code. It’s knowledge seems a mile wide and an inch deep.

Granted, it could be different for junior to mid programmers.

This one is pretty easy though.
A rocket that flies 50 km, or even 500 km, while reaching 2-3M and carrying 200 kg of payload, is a much, much simpler machine than a rocket that makes it to LEO and reaches about 26M while carrying several tons of payload. (And then deorbits and lands!)

One example where I think this would clearly be great - if the police were able to respond to most crimes (eg gunshot, robbery, car theft) fast enough to establish line of sight with a drone, and then follow at a safe enough distance - so no cops firing at perps and hitting bystanders, and no police chases causing collateral damage.

Drone first responders might be cheap enough and fast enough to get extremely low response times across the city.

I think there are lots of reasonable objections to pervasive surveillance (I don’t want widespread drone patrols), but very rapid response times seem like a way to get many of the benefits with few of the downsides. (Just don’t weaponize them, please…)

You're missing that some folk haven't learned that yet - and that others have forgotten it.

In 2013 I was using complex ffmpeg commands and using filters in there. Could remember the stuff easy. Now, I've gotta reference my ffmpeg notes more frequently.

That's not a hack, that's practically an industry standard.
The service they provide is verifying rumors, essentially. Due to the nature of the subject matter it's not possible for them to show you all the data you need to verify things yourself. If you don't want to trust their verification that's your prerogative but IMO rather silly considering their excellent past track record. And that's coming from someone who is extremely critical of most journalism these days.
To be really fair, there are levels of programming. The easiest level is traditionally vulnerable to automation. There's a lot of "accidental complexity" (https://wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet), e.g. ffmpeg, git; even in recalling syntax and idiom of an infrequently used tool, e.g. bash, jq.

Once upon a time, developers had to pore over manpages, paper textbooks, or memorize it. Then came google. Next, stackexchange. And now GPT-4 - which is kind of a search engine plus rudimentary synthesis.

But let's be clear. This is low-hanging fruit. It's a poor substitute for actual thought. And surely we are safe.
Uh you're over thinking it. They just have cameras in the toll booths that snap a photo when the car crosses the sensor.
It’s also one of the few fields with good compensation that can be broken into with minimal expense — all one needs is an old laptop, an internet connection, and some grit. Just about anything else that nets a similar or better paycheck requires expensive training and equipment.

Losing that would be a real shame.
You can do it already it is just unreasonably cumbersome.

Or you can install a company cert profile, or pay 100$ a year for a dev account.
The nearly optimal solution is effectively just as easy to understand and maintain and frankly should come even more naturally to an engineer than the O(n^2) version.

But even more importantly, with a slightly better solution I don’t get woken up in the night once a week because some buffoon left behind a hundred of these little performance landmines that worked great when the table had ten rows on their dev box but causes an outage in prod the second we hit some critical threshold of data.

This takes all sorts of forms from people using quadratic time or quadratic memory to my personal favorite: pulling entire database tables across the network to do basic analytics.

The authors always have the same excuse, that “it worked good enough for what was needed at the time”, ignoring the simple fact that the version which wouldn’t have caused an outage would have been just as easy from day one.
The hype has no end....

> What I learned was that programming is not really about knowledge or skill but simply about patience, or maybe obsession. Programmers are people who can endure an endless parade of tedious obstacles.

This captures the reason I'm optimistic about AI-assisted programming.

The learning curve for getting started programming is horribly steep - and it's not because it's hard, it's because it's frustrating. You have to sweat through six months of weird error messages and missing semicolons before you get to the point where it feels like you're actually building things and making progress.

Most people give up. They assume they're "not smart enough" to learn to program, when really they aren't patient enough to make it through all of that muck.

I think LLMs dramatically impact that initial learning curve. I love the idea that many more people will be able to learn basic programming - I think every human being deserves to be able to use computers to automate tedious repetitive tasks in their lives.
Merlin had many flight proofs before Falcon 9 though so it’s not a great comparison to starship.

80% of the time they'll produce a subtly biased shuffle, most people don't intuitively know the fisher-yates method unless they've been taught it

like, try this

import collections, random
def shuffle(xs): # naive intuitive shuffle
for i in range(len(xs)):
j = random.randrange(len(xs))
xs[i], xs[j] = xs[j], xs[i]

def first_of(n):
xs = list(range(n))
shuffle(xs)
return xs[0]

print(collections.Counter([first_of(3) for i in range(100_000)]))

note that 1 comes out first 25% more often than 2, but with a fair shuffle all three should have an equal chance of being first

even without running it you can figure out logically that it must be biased in some way because there are 3! = 6 possible permutations and 3³ = 9 equally likely sequences of choices for j (each producing one of those permutations), and 9 is not divisible by 6, so some of those permutations have to be more likely than others

so i think this algorithm is a good one to get from a library if its randomness is important to you

not from chatgpt, which commonly does give you subtly buggy code

The police usually can't do much for stolen items. Unless you can give them unequivocal proof of an injustice, personal theft is a case of he said/she said. Just think of the implications if they did act on every request. You meet up and hand off a PS5 and take cash for it, you decide you miss your PS5 so you claim it's stolen. Should the police just take you at your word?

If you provided them an audio (ideally with visuals) recording of the interaction and the identity of the thief, of course they can help. Otherwise, it's up to the courts to figure out in most cases.

As to the point of filing, as the sibling response pointed out, it's more for an official record to be on the books for insurance to act on. They'll then use it in their investigations/civil proceedings.

Bravo - for these simple things, typing in a GPT prompt or search query is more work than the command.

Whats the workflow for writing code like the app mentioned with chat? My experience was like the authors, its a massive environment set up, plus even small projects have 10s of files. How does the model keep all that in context plus changes. How do you start a new session? I checked some small cpp project and the code alone is 168,000 words, so thats already larger then the gpt4 context, that doesn't even include iteration and chat history. IDK where you would even get started.

Also, dont really see the comparison between programming and chess. In chess you can still compete to be the best human chess player. Coding or working in corporate america doesnt really have that.

Besides I won’t call it a service. I would call their substandard iCloud a service.

You know what let’s talk about macOS and since we are talking about search let’s talk about Spotlight. God, everything is awful about it. What is worse is that you don’t even know what is happening.

Suddenly your apps stopped turning up in search? Well there are interesting ways suggested on Apple support site to try. No didn’t work? Of course it didn’t. Then why not remove everything and then add the full disk and let it index and then remove it again and then try the selection you want to keep. Naah, didn’t work. That’s fine, it’s normal. Restart it. No no, do it couple of times. It takes few restarts for the indexing engine to get all warmed up. Oh you rather called Apple support? Yeah, they would do it properly. After helping you wipe your Mac twice the next step in the workflow is guiding you through the steps to drop your Mac at a service centre and you’ll get it back in a week or two with some magic sauce poured inside.

It worked? Yup. Apple does it right every single time.

It didn’t? You must be doing something wrong.

I’ve been coding for 20 years commercially now, and I’ve come to define good coders - and indeed intelligence itself as … adaptability.

Not fluid intelligence, not creative velocity, not creative originality, not oodles of domain knowledge … adaptability.

A new tool comes along? Adapt. A new idea breaks a long established paradigm? Adapt. A new skill is required? Adapt. As I get older adapting gets easier, because I treat ideas like objects - useful until they are not. No part of me cannot change, and my certainty in myself comes not from a bank of sanctified ideals I worship but in the knowledge that whatever comes, I will adapt and thrive. Fat client, thin client, centralised, edge, micro services, monolithic, ideas, tech, frameworks, everything is fluid and that’s what keeps things fun.

Same goes with the arrival of GPT, I embraced it, learnt it’s strengths and weaknesses and now I estimate I’m maybe 2x more productive because of it, that means more time of fun things that interest me.

Adapt, adapt, adapt

Normal “low” DPI screens I can deal with, but the panels that used to be built into many ThinkPads until pretty recently are some of the worst screens I’ve ever used… washed out, terrible viewing angles, mediocre brightness.

I have an old Dell workstation laptop and 15” MBP both manufactured around 2008, with 1920x1200 and 1440x900 panels respectively and they’re both much nicer to use than what you find in a lot of T-series Thinkpads, so it’s not even an age thing… Lenovo just used bargain basement panels.
I don't understand the exfiltration part here. Wasn't only the user's own conversation that got copied elsewhere? That could have done in many different ways. I think I'm missing the point here.
Easy.

1. Find names appearing in both log files. From this create a Set of customers that appear in both. In python it's just creating a set from the first file, creating another set from the second file and unionizing them. O(N)

2. concatenate both files to treat as one. create a Map with key: Customer and value: Set[Page]. This is basically iterating through the log, when you see a customer append the customer_id to the map and add the page to the set if it already exists. O(N)

3. Filter the map for all customers with length(Set[Page]) > 1. To get the Set of all customers that visited more than one page. O(N)

4. Combine the sets of customers who visited multiple pages with customers that appeared in both log files into a new set. O(N). You can do this with, again the union operator in python.

The irony is I'm more able to do this in python then I am in SQL. For SQL stuff at work I just look it up. I never remember the exact syntax.
Total runtime O(N)
