This is actually one of my favorite features.

If I mess up my HA setup or anything like that, then worse case my "smart bulbs" are functionally identical to "dumb bulbs"
I’ve noticed there are situations where I’ll bring in some code from my project, and ask how to do something I know is almost impossible. (For example, accessing a session variable during my framework’s boot code.)

ChatGPT will, more often than not, come up with a stupidly complicated solution like to my above example that doesn't work. It takes an actual engineer to figure out why it is impossible and solve it correctly.

If I was hiring people, things like that would be great questions. It’s also so simple - keep track of the times GPT-4 has no idea of what it is doing, and use those as your questions.
Hi Francois, will there be breaking changes between 2.0 & 3.0 API
The scale they are quoting at 100,000 chip clusters and 65 exaflops seems impossible. At 800W per chip, that's 80MW of power! Unless they literally built an entire DC of these things, nobody is training anything on the entire cluster at once. It's probably 10-20 separate datacenters being combined for marketing reasons here.
always thought that was a bad argument even back when we weren't all running around with cell phones in like 4th grade. I think learning math without aids is crucial but there are better arguments than "you won't have technology at X"

The caveat you missed in that case was that the person unchecked the checkbox that would allow GitHub to use files in his repository for training.
From the log producing side, journald is much better than log files. No one wants to manually configure log rotation for each daemon individually (What signal does this daemon use to reopen its log file shudder). With systemd you just log to stdout+stderr and are done.
It's funny, the whole concept of human-verified vs non-human-verified web I've heard raised before and it sounds a lot like the Blackwall in Cyberpunk:

Who's to judge and what gives them the authority to judge? We've learned priests adhering to ancient fairy tales don't make for very good judges. Have any other ideas?
Fair. I'm biased as someone who has worked with public and private enterprise clients in F500 security/healthcare/government sectors where there's been reluctance to adopt some of these solutions. Amazon offering this natively might mean:
1) I won't have to rely on a smaller third party to have access to my data for connecting & processing that may or may not match my data regulatory requirements (compliance, protection, residency, etc) and
2) it's one less vendor to deal with at a price that's hard to beat in a time when many companies are consolidating systems spend.
I don't know what it means to be human-verified in any useful sense.
Note that it's entirely feasible that GCC would do the same in this specific case. This wasn't necessarily a "bug" in LLVM per se, because this is the specified behavior in C and C++, and LLVM was simply implementing those semantics. The fix here was just to allow languages to opt-out of this behavior. Since GCC is also primarily a C/C++ backend, you'd have the same problem unless they offer a similar opt-out.

But in general, yes, if this was unintended behavior of LLVM, then we would expect alternative backends to exhibit differing behavior.

I used to read this fast until I realized how little information I retained and how little wisdom I generated. I'd even oversell how much I was getting out of what I read, which was really just pure cope. Wasn't getting much out of reading that fast. I read far fewer books per year now, but I really digest them and get so much more out of what I read.
It's an open secret that TensorFlow is a deprecated framework internally at Google, and present/future model development should be done on JAX. Since Keras is a Google-owned product, it makes sense.
There is truly no magic in holding a meeting in person instead of on teleconference.
>maybe 4% of the people employed primarily doing JavaScript work actually know what they are doing. Just 4%.

Because it's JavaScript. It's a language specifically designed for people who don't care about how anything actually works.
I’m thinking that payload capacity might actually be the total payload rather than the bed, so 2500 - passengers and interior cargo? Or is that how it’s always rated.

That's a good phrase "learning how to use an AI", indeed it's not just "using an AI". It's also a process and it involves learning or knowing how to code.
I think you're both talking past each other. We have it better now in many ways than our parents and grandparents did. But they had it better in other ways.

The necessities were more affordable then, as were the simplest pleasures. My mother's father was a milk man, and her mother was a gas station clerk. They had 3 kids, a house and 2 horses. But, calling the next town over was exorbitantly expensive, their siblings were drafted, their uncles and aunts had had polio, they couldn't get kiwi fruit or sushi.

My siblings can talk to anyone anywhere in the world real time for free, eat any food they can conceive of for relatively cheap, were never drafted, have an endless stream of stimulating entertainment, can read any book they like at a whim, diseases like measles are a fairy tale. But with 17 years of education and two salaries they can barely afford a house, a basket of groceries for a week costs them a day's labor, they're constantly bombarded with bad news, real or not.

Things are better for us, but the basics were easier for them. Something's not quite right, and we can all feel it, even though the measures all tell us it's better than ever. I think the real problem is that we mostly agree that things will not be better for our grandkids. Increased international tensions and drug resistant disease mean that the two main ways we are better off won't last, and on top of that, the basics are unaffordable.
The great thing about data is - if you run enough studies and cherry pick the data - you can prove almost anything.
> it makes it not function as a truck for myself.

No, you use a truck to accomplish tasks for which vehicles don't get named "truck". That's perfectly fine; you can and should do whatever you want with the vehicles that you buy. When you go out in public and say "that's not a truck" about something that clearly is, it's you who is "using whatever definition you want", not everyone else.

Perhaps, but those aren't the exclusive, or even main, alternatives today.
This might be a contentious take but I have concluded that people that work in tech need to adjust to the idea that "coding" as a sole technical proficiency will become increasingly less valuable as time goes on, and other technical skills that don't necessarily involve "coding" (such as OS knowledge, networking, etc.) will become more valuable.

In other words I feel really bad for bootcamp people right now.

The net death rates of people killed by small cars is still higher overall than SUVs and light trucks.

That being said, even the article mentions the primary factor in pedestrian deaths is the shape of the hood and the height of the hood:

"Even when the hood isn’t that high, a boxy front-end — with a grille that’s nearly vertical and a hood that goes almost straight out from the windshield — is more likely to cause death or serious injury to a pedestrian. In general, vehicles with box-shaped front ends, even when they’re only medium height, are roughly 26% more likely to kill a pedestrian, according to the IIHS."

Seems like it's at least partly a visibility issue (I'm not convinced that height matters as much as the angle a driver sits at from within the truck to be able to see what's in front of it), also the odds of getting slammed under the vehicle rather than rolled over the top of it.

That being said, none of these apply to the Cybertruck, which has an almost entirely sloped frontend with a low hood height and massive windshields for visibility paired with probably the most advanced pedestrian detection systems on the market.
they are related yes. but if it happens that the vast majority of influence over it is on the production side, the consumption side only matters insofar as it's able to change production which may be a distraction to focus on individual consumer green-purchasing if that's not actually a great way of influencing production behaviors. It ends up as a "personal garden" approach to ecology, keeping us occupied doing what we can in our personal lifestyles and evaluating/influencing our neighbors within our proximity. so then what force drives necessary change on the production side?

I see, so that 28K number looks solid, the 68K upper bound applies to a scenario where someone doesn't switch to an EV but buys one and still keeps driving an ICE vehicle too, which seems odd - I would think many drivers could use an EV for all their shorter trips (certainly shopping, likely commuting), but paying to register/license an extra car just for the occasional long trip doesn't seem very practical.

Even if this is “only” mesh autocomplete, it is still massively useful for 3D artists. There’s a disconnect right now between how characters are sculpted and how characters are animated. You’d typically need a time consuming step to retopologize your model. Transformer based retopology that takes a rough mesh and gives you clean topology would be a big time saver.

Another application: take the output of your gaussian splatter or diffusion model and run it through MeshGPT. Instant usable assets with clean topology from text.

How do you avoid becoming the righteous White Savior over talking the oppressed?
Of course ressentiment is constant, but the question is which kind of thinking dominates society?

Historically, the pendulum has swung back and forth between what Nietsche labeled master and slave morality. The Roman empire is a typical example of master culture: it's good to be rich and powerful, and it is right for the strong to dominate the weak. There might have been ressentiment among the Barbarians the Romans conquered, but the dominant culture certainly didn't sympathize with them.

Then in Europe we get the rise of Christianity, a typical example of slave morality which regards strength and power as evil (the New Testament is full of messages like the meek will inherit the earth, it's easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter heaven, etc.)

Then Western civilization swings back to Master morality: the crusades as an early example, later manifest destiny, the white man's burden, the rise of fascism in Europe, etc. Then after WW2 fascism loses its luster and the pendulum swings back.

Western colonies which were previously considered mutually beneficial developments are now condemned as exploitative of the less advanced native cultures. People like Columbus who were once lionized for their discoveries and conquests are now condemned as villains.

You can view the American civil war as a midpoint of the pendulum's swing: while Negroes, who are poor and uneducated, are not (yet) considered morally superior to Whites, it is no longer morally acceptable to enslave them just because you can.

Today, the pendulum has swung fully towards slave morality. You should check your privilege, and shut up, so the oppressed may speak. Representation is important. The rich and powerful are almost by definition evil. Bill Gates and Elon Musk won't be remembered in the same way as Rockefeller or Ford. Racism is no longer racism, as it was in Martin Luther King's time, but now it's prejudice PLUS power (also everyone has racial bias, so by the very definition, the powerful are evil, while the powerless are innocent).

So while you can argue that the pendulum has swung back and forth on this topic through history, and it's hard to say if slave morality is currently at an “all-time high”, I think it's undeniably true that we are currently heavily biased towards celebrating the powerless over the rich and powerful.

I was going to mention that relaxed atomics additionally have a requirement that a read always reads the "last" write to that value, but the problem is that the temporal sense of "last" in that sentence only bears a loose resemblance to a typical programmer's sense of time in a program, so I think it may confuse more than it helps.

In LLVM IR terms, the largest practical difference to users between unordered (Java) and monotonic (C relaxed) is that unordered is too weak to let an atomicrmw instruction be definable, whereas monotonic is strong enough to let it be defined. In both cases, you still have to be prepared for the possibility that a load is going to read a value that is in some sense stale.

(There are a few other differences, e.g., you can reorder load unordered p/load unordered q if p and q are may-alias, but you can't if they're relaxed loads. But that's generally something that only comes up when you're writing optimization passes).

Would you like to automate PR reviews using an AI assistant?
I know that conventional wisdom is that PR reviews are essential for engineers' learning and important to ensure that we are in the loop about what other engineers on your team are working on (plus checks and balances, of course). However, the amount of time it takes to review some of the PRs makes me question if this should be done differently so that we, as engineers, can focus on higher-level, more important, and creative work.

I think the most important thing about remote, local, and hybrid work is "it depends".

To other people's point, this is only an issue for a small percentage of population - many jobs are inherently physical.

Of the ones where remote vs hybrid vs local is in the running, it hugely depends. Does everybody actually live in a single area? Or are you multi-site to begin with? What are your teams structured as, what are you trying to accomplish, what are your processes and procedures like?

As horrible as COVID was from public health perspective, it was a boon for my particular operations project. We have a population of about 200++, two basic sites about 2500km away, and a scattering of people around the country. Hybrid model was... awful in retrospective:

For years, people not at the main site were effectively second class citizens. A lot of decisions would be made by "whoever happened to be around the cubicles", and chains of review, approval, and implementation were never followed. Left hand did not know what the right was doing. Speakerphones never ever worked in big conference rooms, and my biggest peeve was the sentence "You guys on the phone won't see this, but we are drawing the new architecture on the board here", with the runner up of "Sorry you can't hear Vince today, he's far away from the microphone, but he just outlined the strategy and basic requirements for the next phase for us" etc.

When we were forced to do fully remote... oh, bliss! We had to communicate with intent and consciously choose who needs to know what how and when. We become a smooth running machine. Our efficiency increased hugely, our results improved, and our people were happier!

We are slowly turning back into hybrid mode, unfortunately, and literally 15 minutes ago I was privy to "Sorry you 30 people on the phone can't hear Chris, but he just outlined our main focus for the next quarter" and I gotta say I did not miss it!
