Me either, although I am using it for my home. It does allow configuring VMs, containers, logical volumes, and such. I think you can have multiple proxmox in a cluster. I might not have reached the point where I am doing enough with it to understand the benefit.
Yeah, I assume the 2-3% rates is referring to mortgage rates, which isn’t directly caused by the fed but was certainly influenced by the fed setting short-term rates at 0.
I don't know if that's true of all of them, but it certainly seems to be true of most, and that's entirely my point: the structure just doesn't work. All (or at least the vast majority) of the employees have for-profit incentives, which - as we've now seen - makes it impossible for the non-profit board to act in accordance with their mission, when those actions conflict with the for-profit incentives, as they inevitably will. It was doomed from the start.
We're searching for an efficient algorithm that leads to AGI. Given sufficient time and compute, I'm sure that we could get there with existing stuff, by accident, and we wouldn't realize it before moving on to the next thing... and there'd be a poor orphan AGI, lost in a Git repo, waiting for runtime.
The simplest summary I can pull out of my head is... big companies pay them big money to put big ads between the content, at so great a margin that all the excess profit goes towards searching for the next means of striking it rich. Now you
I retired at 20 to make my way in my civilian tech career. I looked at the amount of effort you'd need to put into make Captain or above, and the knock-on effects on your civilian career, and said "nope." Tried to do the best I could. One of the best officers I worked with in the reserve dropped on request from helo training due to family issues, and ended up making a career as a support guy for the reserve Naval Special Warfare folks.
> What you describe is a consequence of another, more-nuanced phenomenon at work: Over time, the political demographics of the U.S. have changed

I agree, but in my view the relevant demographic change was mass immigration from continental European countries outside the Anglo legal tradition, which resulted in the election of a President that threatened the Supreme Court until it relented and effectively rewrote the Constitution.

> gerrymandering, plus the massive overrepresentation of small, rural states, have given a minority of the voting population an effective veto over what would be salutary constitutional amendments.

Both are complete red herrings. Neither party has won more than 55% of the House popular vote in my lifetime. Even if our system was exactly like Germany's--proportional voting in the lower house, 2/3 majority required to amend the Basic Law)--no party would have been able to pass a partisan amendment in even the House alone.

It's theoretically possible that Senators representing a minority of voters could block an amendment, but it doesn't actually split that way in practice. Biden carried 25.5 states (excluding DC) which exactly reflects his 51% of the popular vote. Obama in 2008 carried 28.5 states (57%) with 53% of the popular vote.

This is just how companies operate today. Burn furniture to heat the place for a quarter. Sell your property to a for profit entity you lease from instead to save a line item today and no doubt get screwed when its time to renegotiate the lease (long after whoever made this decision has left the company I’m sure). Fire staff and rehire instead of retrain. Its all myopic thinking that you’d find in any MBA program sold to you as the best practices in modern business.
lol?

It's so much better to work for 1/2 as long for 3x the salary than twice as long for 1/3 of the salary.

There's plenty of minimum wage job for the foreseeable future as well; but being employeed 24/7 is not the metric to optimize here.
We have one on central Arizona that never needs to shut down due to heat and definitely does not rely on sea water for cooling. So no, they don’t need to shut down when it gets too hot if they are designed for the heat.

Bloomer – use any OpenAPI schema with OpenAI
Without a person-nights denominator, 22 US CO deaths/14 years is impossible to compare to 19 global CO deaths/10 years. Of course, Airbnb's 0 US CO deaths/(10 years * X person-nights) is less than 22 deaths/(14 years * Y person-nights) for any values of X and Y > 0, but if the ratio was less than 1X:100Y, say, the 0 wouldn't be precise enough to get to a comparison.
The tragedy of commons at work. Each individual iPhone is a very small consumer of energy, but Apple has 2 billion active devices in the wild. 10g x 2 billion devices is suddenly quite significant and worthwhile. It's an interesting win that probably didn't actually take that many resources to implement. It won't come close to solving climate change on its own, but it's certainly not doing any harm and I'd much rather Apple implement it rather than not bothering.
For a lot of people starting their careers, this is probably close to the truth. For people like me (I’ve got all of those besides the pets, unless you consider fish), well… Yeah, you might want to consider a different path.
Is an MP3 file itself a reproduction of the audio? Or is it merely capable of producing the reproduction?

Now, it's trivially true that an MP3 file is not, itself, physically audio. It is physically bits in a digital storage medium.

Without the right software and the right commands, there is no way to reproduce the recorded audio from the MP3 file. Now, that software is pretty ubiquitous today, so we have come to think of MP3 files as being the audio...but in a technical sense they do actually share a lot with the models behind LLMs and other generative ML projects. In another 10 years, the software to reproduce elements from the training set of an LLM may be as ubiquitous as MP3 players are today. (Well, that's actually pretty unlikely, given how many devices can play MP3s, but such software could well be baked into the OSes of major desktop and mobile operating systems by that time, anyway.)

I think it is an oversimplification to call an LLM a "lossy compression" of the training data, but being an oversimplification doesn't mean there's not some very real truth to it—possibly enough that the law would find it to be a reasonable analogy.

The whole cl-lib thing is a total disaster:

They added cl- as a prefix to each provide Common Lisp operator/variable/...

FIRST is now called cl-first, CAAAR is now cl-caaar .

I would really prefer if GNU Emacs removes all Common Lisp functionality, instead of creating this really wacky stuff, with heated discussions about this topic every year.

Web App Localization. in Rust
Yes, that is my point. Past a few iterations, there is not a lot of value in doing this company wide over and over.. versus making hard big picture decisions on resourcing departments properly.
There are lots of ways to define “good enough” as well. What are the costs of inferring several small experts contributing to a decomposed workflow versus using GPT4 for example. If you want to run multiple instances for different teams or departments, how do the costs escalate. Do you want to include patient data and have concerns about using a closed source model to do so. Etc.

There’s little doubt that GPT4 is going to be most capable at most tasks either OotB or with prompt engineering as here. But that doesn’t mean it’s the right approach to use now.
If AI companies and their benefactors are so concerned about this, they should be pushing for shorter copyright terms and more fair use exemptions. AFAIK they are not. Probably because they're hoping to lock up the AI models and possibly their output under the same onerous copyright system they flaunted when it was convenient for "training". Rules should be applied fairly. It's galling to see small creators get content taken down by DMCA strikes and then have large, well-funded players scoop up everything they can with no issue.
> Yep. I imagine adding support for different CPU architectures will be... well good luck with that.

Extremely hard indeed, probably more like a 95% rewrite. Might however make sense as a killer application for small ARM or Risc-V boards where Linux would be either overkill or too demanding.
If you're a fan of the -g flag to ripgrep then I also recommend checking out the -t flag, short for --type, which lets you search specific file types. You can see the full list with `rg --type-list`. For example, you could just search .cs files with `rg -tcs`.

This flag is especially convenient if you want to search e.g. .yml and .yaml in one go, or .c and .h in one go, etc.
One of the big takeways from Art berman, Nate Hagens and other experts on this subject is that the growth of GDP is very heavily dependent on Oil and it's impossible to decouple that within the next several decades. That may sound unlikely but the evidence they've shown is overwhelmingly convincing. One of the things I've learned is that reknewables aren't actually reknewable: they are mostly all tied to oil in some way, almost everything is because everything is either made of oil or uses oil in it's production, hence it's "the hemoglobin of the economy".

So there will always be more demand. It's the mainstream media that has it backwards: they're the ones always saying peak demand and that's misleading.

> there was indeed a warning, and the user dismissed it.

And that’s where effective logging can also shine, confirming that the warning message was triggered and was explicitly dismissed.

The key trick is to know where logging can best CYA, so as to keep it down to a full roar instead of generating gigabytes of noise.

> The tire’s meteoric rise might have surprised nineteenth-century observers of the wheel.

To be somewhat pedantic, tires were in use for the nineteenth century and earlier. Tire generally refers to anything wrapped around a wheel making contact with the ground. Before pneumatic tires, there were iron tires. These were wrought iron rings placed around wooden wagon wheels.

Obviously the article is talking about pneumatic tires here, but I thought that I'd note that there are other, prior types.

New Azure DevOps Server 2022.1 is out
Maybe maybe not. There certainly wouldn't have been the version of OpenAI that runs a massively successful and profitable AI product company. But reading the OpenAI charter, it's pretty clear that running a massively successful AI product company was never a necessary component of the organization; and indeed, as we just saw, is actually a conflict of interest with the organization's charter.

I don't really care much about the demise of OpenAI-the-nonprofit - I don't think it was ever a very promising approach to accomplishing its own goals, so I don't lament its failure all that much - but I feel like there is a kind of gaslighting going on, where people are trying to erase the history of the organization as a mission-oriented non-profit, and claim that it was always intended to be a wildly profitable product company, and that just isn't the case.
good ideas, yesterday I wrote a medium post exactly showing your 1st point : https://medium.com/@alexandre_43174/generating-terraform-gra...

Concerning the pricing, it's a freemium model based on the amount of Runs made. We offer 50 runs per month which approximately means 50 diagrams generated. We consider that a run is performed every time you modify your terraform files as we will process them to generate a new diagram.

Regarding the name Holori, despite we are french, the name actually sounds Italian and I personally love the italian language :) Also we wanted a name that sounded technological, fun and that could be pronounced worldwide!
Do you have evidence of this? While the US does use diesel electric locomotives. If you take a look at UNP for example, the majority of their locomotives were all built since the 90s and up. While I agree that emissions historically have not been at the forefront of business decisions, fuel usage certainly is and these companies have made improvements in fuel efficiency where it makes sense. Calling them 1950s locomotives is flat out wrong.

While I believe electricity is indeed the future for much of the world. I am not sure if its a slam dunk case with US rail lines today. Thinking at a high level for freight. Its possible that freight lines will go over leased tracks or tracks not otherwise not owned by the locomotive operator. So maybe it makes sense to only electrify specific lines, you not only introduce the upfront cost of electrifying which IIRC is a 2-3x (someone correct me if I am wrong) cost of just the existing tracks, you will also require different rail maintenance yards, require crews that know how to both operate and fix electric locomotives. Electricity is awesome but it won't be an easy sell to implement.

Locomotives will not be able to replace semi's. I am ignoring the fact they are run on diesel because I think this can and will change. The last mile will always be an issue. Additionally I believe most rail networks already run near capacity. Building more rail is a difficult task.

Is there an auto-tiling window manager that just enforces tiling without using keyboard shortcuts? Like if I drag a window with mouse, it snaps it in a tile.

I think I saw this in popOS. Does yabai support this?
I similarly find something like Yabai a bit too heavy-handed for my needs, and instead prefer Moom[0].

I find that I only need tiling occasionally, and for that Moom excels since it doesn’t add any new key shortcuts to memorize and is only ever visibly present when hovering your cursor over a window’s green button. Its Aero Snap equivalent is optional and turned off by default too, which is great for me (I trigger Aero Snap’s proposed-window-resize animations unintentionally often enough that they get to be irritating).
