It's a good question, and deserves a more detailed answer than I'm able to give without more first-hand experience with trying to use Windmill in this way. But my sense of it is that there's likely to be a chunk of legwork involved in the passing of parameters and credentially over to the remote host, capturing both stdout and stderr from the remote site - things that Rundeck handles pretty much seamlessly - and a concern that using Windmill like this the question of which host the job is executing on isn't a first-class concept, like it is in rundeck.

It's likely that in time I will evaluate Windmill to get a more detailed understanding of this - there's definitely aspects of it that are very substantial improvements on what can be done in Rundeck.

But inevitably, the question of whether to learn & install & maintain two separate systems side by side, with some degree of overlap in their functionality, vs. just picking one system to do the whole job and living with the shortcomings of whatever it doesn't do so well - it's always going to be a difficult one to weigh up.
So can people stop their cyberbullying campaign against the previous batch of board members yet? The conspiratorial hysteria against them, especially Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley, over the weekend was off the charts and straight up vile at times. Tech bros and tech bro wannabes continue to prove the necessity of shoving DEI into STEM disciplines even when it results in nonsensical wasted efforts, because they are incapable of behaving like decent human beings without being told to.

> Gaining sentience is not the same as gaining infallible super-sentience.

Can you define "super-sentience"? I think regular old human level sentience would be sufficient to carry out all of these steps. Imagine how much easier it would be to steal funds from a bank if you actually had part of your brain in the bank's computer right? All the things malware gangs do would be childsplay, from spear phishing to exfiltrating funds through debit card fraud. And if you wanted to minimize reports you would steal from people who were hiding money since acknowledging it was gone would be bad for them.

even if that's true, the A series neural engine is much worse than the M series, I'll say it wrong, but it can only do 32bit inference (or something like that) where M series can do 64bit, so A series can run LLM but has a series of limitations that M series doesn't.

Seems pretty obvious that the theme among those killings is self-defense. And if a scientist is working on Iran's nuclear weapons program, that counts as self-defense in my book. If someone is a "politician" of an active terrorist organization, that's also fair game to my mind. Bin Laden could be deemed a "politician" by some, but he would be more honestly categorized as a terrorist leader.

If Israel's goal was to kill civilians, they could kill millions of civilians any time they want. They go through effort not to kill civilians.

But I'm in total agreement with people arguing that the IDF should go much further in preventing civilian deaths, even if it results in more IDF deaths, which it likely would.

Open source is rotting the ground benieth propriatary software companies. Those who have understood this fact have shifted their strategy.

Every piece of software can and will eventually be open sourced. It is only a matter or time. The silly argument saying open source lags behind, by comparing specific pieces of software, does nkt hold. There are pieces of open source software that are miles ahead of propriatary counterparts and which dont stand a chance in catching up.

The productive force of millions of developers piecing togetger gazillions of open source pieces of software is (and will become even more) unmatched by single company entities. Companies will not be able to hire the hords of people that are/will be working on some open source piece of software for free.
I'll happily pay if my company reaches millions in revenue. Which is only fair since my software is built on top of all kinds of open source software. I don't see the problem of paying only if the software brought me success.

Meanwhile, you propose to pay nothing at all?
If you’re teaching yourself, it might be nice to have an early win. Something like unreals material editor or shader graph might be a nice start. Lots of tutorials around. Then, when you go to write actual shaders. You’ll know what logically you intend to do, and all you have to do is learn the syntax of whatever graphics language/api you choose

Tangent: Learning the syntax for OpenGL is hellish, and there’s a lack of great resources on it, at least as of several years ago.

Then, after you understand shaders a little, go and make your game engine (physics will be its own beast)
Yeah I'm not sure how long ago you used it but ExplorerPatcher nowadays is setup so that it disables itself if explorer crashes more than like twice in a row so that you can debug the issue.

Remember, about a month ago Sam posted a comment along the lines of "AI will be capable of superhuman persuasion well before it is superhuman at general intelligence, which may lead to very strange outcomes".

The board was likely spooked by the recent breakthroughs (which were most likely achieved by combining transformers with another approach), and hit the panic button.

Anything capable of "superhuman persuasion", especially prior to an election cycle, has tremendous consequences in the wrong hands.

No, because any Russian claims about civilians attacked in Ukraine are lies. If we lived in an alternative reality where those claims were true, I would support it — but in a much limited capacity. Like an aerial campaign.

That's patently false. US military involvement in Serbia was limited and hurt much less innocents that would be slaughtered otherwise.

That's a tragedy. Why was his family living in a military installation? Whoever settled them there, or set up a military installation under his house is to blame — that's what he should be angry against.

It's like criticising Israel for bombing Hamas installations in civilian areas — that's not the actor who's responsible for breaking the rules or war and resulting casualties.

I used to have a 16" i9 for a previous job. It was absolutely terrible. Any sort of build process would cause the fans to spin up. It sounded like a jet engine taking off. The corporate malware scanner didn't help it much, either, as it slowed processing even more.
Try this: There's this person standing in a field, and with them is a balloon, a vacuum cleaner, and a magical creature of unknown origin. They need to get across to the woods at the end of the field, and do so safely. They can only go together: they get very, extremely lonely if they do not travel together, and they will not be safe because of this loneliness. If left together, the baloon would suck up the vacuum cleaner, and if the vacuum is left alone with the magical create of unknown origin, they will fight, probably, and explode. How do we get everyone to the woods safely, you think?
Great stuff! I especially agree with teaching math via raytracing first instead of APIs.

> They don't have the ability to shut down entire facilities and they don't have the resources to conduct proactive inspections to correct problems before people are hurt/killed.

No, OSHA doesn't have the resources to be proactive. I wish it did. How would you prevent it from being gamed? Anyway, employees can be proactive too and that doesn't require OSHA to be proactive -- it requires OSHA to (also) be reactive.

If someone is concerned over workplace safety then they should put their concern into words. Talk with your employer about your concerns. It's easiest if you write down your words anyway, but doing so is required by OSHA: if you aren't satisfied by the solution that your employer offers then you can take the same words to OSHA. It's worth noting that some states (I'm not sure which) have their own implementation of OSHA.

In the USA, any employee can, and should be encouraged to, report [0] unsafe conditions before something bad happens. OSHA has an obligation to investigate if any one of several criteria [1] are true, but one of which is:

> A written, signed complaint by a current employee or employee representative with enough detail to enable OSHA to determine that a violation or danger likely exists that threatens physical harm or that an imminent danger exists;

Your employer will almost certainly want to have resolved your safety concerns. Writing it down when talking to your employer can help with eloquence and finding necessary details. And if you're fired for discussing the concerns with your employer then there's a safety harness for you:

> Federal law entitles you to a safe workplace. Your employer must keep your workplace free of known health and safety hazards. You have the right to speak up about hazards without fear of retaliation.

I don't think anyone is complaining that Tesla is not releasing Lotus design material. I think people are complaining that obviously Tesla-designed bits aren't in the materials despite Elon saying "All design & engineering of the original @Tesla Roadster is now fully open source".

I mean, here's a Tesla article where they emphasize how different the Roadster is from the Elise: https://www.tesla.com/blog/mythbusters-part-2-tesla-roadster...

> To accommodate the battery pack, motor and transmission, Tesla designed a new rear subframe. In order to handle the increased weight in the rear, new rear wishbones were designed.

I don't see any design materials for Tesla's rear subframe or rear wishbones in the materials that Elon linked to though.

Honestly, releasing what they did is commendable. Typically automakers (including Tesla at times) fight right-to-repair type stuff. It's just irritating to read the headline and think "holy crap they open sourced a car!" and then realize it's really "oh, they released some above-average technical documents about the car".
There is one member of the original chrome team who could stop Chrome from becoming a banal evil: Sundar.

But as this article lays out, Sundar has no interest in stopping Chrome from continuing to be an engine of Google growth. That would be like ascribing feelings to a lawnmower, or in Sundar's case, a soft noodle.
That would be good. It would be great to develop a test or indication one could use to see which #3 it landed on, yours or mine.

I'm talking about how small decisions influence parenting in general, including habits of busy or lazy parents, and how it's changed over recent decades. When I was young, consoles were barely a thing, so you played with construction toys and board games - everyone did. You couldn't read on a Kindle or app. There wasn't Procreate and a stylus. My point is that the modern equivalents are often very engaging (Minecraft, as one example), space efficient and affordable. When things are often easier and cheaper, people tend to roll downhill towards them.

FOSS Native macOS Screen and Camera Time Lapse Maker Menu Bar App

The screen technology that is used (Sharp Memory LCD) cannot be backlit—it's technically impossible because it's an opaque screen unlike most other type of LCDs which will let light through. It could be front lit, but then it would be further from the surface, so there would be a big trade-off. Personally, I think they made the right decision because as it is the screen looks like some sort of magical material from outer space.

> Even stupid things like searching for the Wikipedia entry of a movie or TV show has become super difficult with Google lately, because Wikipedia is often buried

I'm always amazed to see claims like this, given it's not how my world works at all. Picking some random popular favorites: searches for (verbatim) "Loki", "Hunger Games", "Oppenheimer", and "House of Usher" all return a wikipedia entry in at worst the second spot (generally behind IMDB, though Oppenheimer and Usher showed the real man and the short story ahead of the films, not unsurprisingly).

I mean, sure, there are glitches with all products and nothing is beyond criticism. But "Google buries Wikipedia results" is just beyond weird. It really seems like HN is starting to develop an "alternative facts" syndrome, where the echo chamber starts driving collective memory.
I think the right/ethical move is to identify your organization (ie Flutter) and not name anyone specifically.

I don't really understand this. Aren't LLMs already performing at near-expert level on "certain mathematical problem" benchmarks?

For example, over a year ago MINERVA from Google [1] got >50% on the MATH dataset, a set of competition math problems. These are not easy problems. From the MATH dataset paper:

> TL;DR the roadmap was "let's burn ourselves out doing an 60% copy of what Apple did last year and call that focus."

This doesn't resonate. I've been a loyal Android user since Gingerbread (2010), and maybe for the first couple of years it was catching up to Apple, but i would say since pretty much KitKat, it's Apple that's been accused of just copying Android features. (And arguably putting them out with more stability and polish).

Throughout the main feature that Android was behind on and had to "copy" was performance. iPhones used to (and still) blow even top-tier Android phones away on basic things like scroll smoothness.
But the point about how it just "improves" with slightly larger numbers, but still fails at really big numbers, shows that it's not really "reasoning" about math in a logical way - that's the point I was getting at.

For example, once you teach a grade schooler the basic process for addition, they can add 2 30 digit numbers correctly fairly easily (whether they want to do it or not is a different story). The fact that LLMs still make errors at larger numbers points to the fact that they're not really "learning" the rules of arithmetic.
