Many feel entitled to captain a ship - they are often just useless.

Definitely not always, but more often than it should be. I had this experience once - a family of people that already had money that were obsessed with "running their own business" off the backs of others. They didn't even contribute the money they had. All exploitation. Fortunately I shut it down and walked away with code. It was useless code, but at least I was also able to waste their time on top of my own.

My default mode as a technical person now is to vet the person actually has something they can bring. If they do less than bring us customers before we have a finished product, they've failed. I expect them to make connections and sell what we don't even have. That way I know we can both make something from nothing - the key ingredient to liftoff.
Turkeys will also look straight up in the rain with their breaks open and drown. We've bred them for size and aesthetic appeal, not brains.

Guinea fowl still take the prize, though, and they're skittish and loud to boot.
No, they've got a point. These are simply not compatible with the old town and that's exactly where they go with them. You have to imagine a city that was made for something the size of a small horse drawn carriage where you take these massive vehicles. It's tight enough with normal cars, this is well across what's feasible in practice.
>We used to think a robot capable of vacuuming your house would be "AI"

Only because we thought such a robot would be like a AGI servant, not just a single-purpose device like a roomba that can just bounce around the floor.

So, it's not like we've changed our definition of AI (and even less so, AGI). What we did change is what a robot house-cleaner product is (less "C3PO with a broom", and more "single-purpose vacuum cleaner with heuristics to bounce around").

Even for chess playing, when people in the past thought a chess playing machine that would be able to defeat the human champion would have AGI, they did so not because they thought playing chess is enough to signify AGI, but because they thought AGI was necessary to do so.

If someone had explained to them back then that such a future machine would be able to play expert-level chess by mere number crunching of a huge list of moves, and that it wouldn't imply any other thinking facultu, they wouldn't consider that to be AGI.

>At this point the definition of AI is practically "Something computers can't do yet", though I'm partial to its corollary "Any sufficiently misunderstood algorithm is AI.

The practical definition of AI (as used colloqualy, in the market etc) for products is basically "any smart-looking algorithm, with heuristics to do something slightly complex".

It's just that the term is overloaded, and we sometimes say AI when we mean AGI.
This is the Internet. If something isn't a 100% bulletproof solution for literally every person, real or hypothetical, in every situation ever, it's worthless and the person who mentioned it is an idiot for even bringing it up.
they said they went to a dealership, bought it, then brought it to the track. No modifications etc.
I love the synced vibration/beep feature on crossing buttons, as I made a habit of laying my hand on top of the thing while waiting for the light to change. It gets my attention much faster than hearing/seeing the signals change, since I'm usually looking around during the time I'm waiting. Mostly at the lights for cars, since that hints at when it's my turn to go. (I can see and hear just fine, accessibility features like this are just bonus for me.)

I am most used to these ones specifically: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/ECW0FA/pedestrian-crossing-traffic...

Can be activated with your elbow, the thing beeps and the bottom lights up when you activate it.
very informative,also there is __GLIBCXX_DEBUG etc to catch errors sanitizer can not detect
Statistically eventually Amazon is always going to Amazon.
The whole Borland suite was epic for the time. I still feel like Turbo Debugger was the peak of debugging UI
it's never meant to go to production sadly. it's a test bed for their experimental hydrogen powerplant and new cyberpunkish design language in use on vehicles like the Ioniq.

i too would buy the crap out of it. it's glorious.
It would be nice to have an option to play against someone locally (sharing the same computer)
REAL ID act:

Yeah, more like curated training.
I have never seen EU compensation that is even half of what I make, it's usually 1/4 or 1/5th.
The individual example videos are nearly 1080p (1024 height) and they look pretty good to me. There is some glitchiness on the hands but it's very minor and could definitely be fixed easily in post-production or through further refinements. In fact, if you play the high resolution videos and pause at random points, it's hard to even find a frame where there are extra fingers, though there are a few.
That was my first computer too.
The Cybertruck has a larger bed and longer range than an F150 Lightning SuperCrew.
Having multiple browsers as a standard installation and employee training is an investment in business continuity.

And business continuity investment is like insurance: A waste until you need it.

Too much monoculture is short sighted and long term expensive.
They offered me more money in exchange for my labor than any other company was willing to offer a CRUD developer with AWS experience and above average soft skills. It was also remote. (Professional Services).
And Delphi, where at least he tried to do something with strings hah. Never got used to them, and never really liked Wirth languages, but respect is due of course.

That is not the price of the vehicle. If anything the price should be more because the three year cost of the vehicle is more than the initial price.
I am looking for something like this.
We develop IoT devices, thousand of linux computer running behind customer routers and have a central server with web admin, all in python.

I wish i could have "syncronized objects", something were a change in a device would be reflected back to the server, web interface even better and in the other direction too, a way to see the whole system as one thing, not a hodge podge of api, calls, update and so on.

Is there an elegant way to do this?
Shostakovich did this a lot in his later work. His violin sonata starts with a long slow atonal dirge, then suddenly slinks into this little tonal waltz. It gives a “haunted music box” vibe that I absolutely love.
Not on Wayland it doesn't. Nor does it know if either window is visible, nor if it has been damaged since the last render.
I'm not the GP, but I know many of the tricks to watch out for:

- Offshore partner delivers software, but you dont have any code. Successive rounds of updates become more expensive. You cant walk away because you have none of the code. (Business co-founder has no idea and goes to new partner with binaries expecting updates to be delivered, then gets told they need to start from scratch)

- Offshore partner delivers software and code, but not the code corresponding to the software. You try to switch partners, but realize you start from zero, because you dont have the code

- Offshore partner delivers software and correct code, but only for the app/UI. Only they retain code for the backend.

- Offshre partner delivers code for UI and backend, but not the right code, UI is secretly pointing to a different backend with different code

- Offshore partner delivers correct code all around, but only they have the build scripts, dependencies, and cloud images required to run it.

- Offshore partner delivers everything, but only they have the data required to start up the system. New partner spends as much time figuring things out and eventually wants to re-code the whole system.

For each of the above, business co-founder goes thru the rounds two or three times. Each time, they spend 20 or 30k and each time they walk away with binaries they cant do much with. Eventually they give up, or find a technical co-founder.
Yeah, I live in Iowa and F150/Dodge Ram is the baseline for anybody working construction or farm jobs. My brother-in-law and my uncle both separately run their own construction companies; one drives an F250, the other drives a some kind of diesel Ram. They both use them to haul their trailers full of materials/tools and machines around to job sites. My father’s a farmer/mechanic and drives an older Silverado.

I drive a Chevy Bolt EUV fwiw and love it.
> Maybe it's illegal somehow, but this is certainly not immoral.

It is absolutely immoral, and I have no idea how you can say otherwise with a straight face. Tesla is deliberately listing the price as lower than it actually is, in order to try to psychologically trick people into buying their vehicles. It's (probably) legal because they state in smaller print what the actual price is, but it's hella fucking immoral.
Sorry meant more Deuteronomy 15 and the cancelling of debts after 7 years.

Bankruptcy screws the lender whereas a land value tax continues a tax on land which the poorest who inherit land can’t pay.

If your debt was going to be cancelled after 7 years you’d of course not make a loan longer than that.
which is fine, because then those who find that area too expensive will then spread out to a cheaper area.

And with increased population in these "WFH" areas, other services would spring up to feed the demand of the now locals working from home there.

The only real issue is the inability for small businesses to start near there for cheap, or for regulatory reasons. For example, you cannot run a corner store in residential areas.
Oh, sure, but that’s a hefty premium to pay if you don’t need it frequently - the $20+k extra people pay for commuter trucks would pay for thousands of truck rental hours, and that’s before you factor in the higher operating costs and insurance.
I really wish proxmox had sort of first-class docker/podman integration.

With docker it seems a Dockerfile is a self-contained recipe. You build it, then you run the container.

with proxmox, you sort of have to be a sysadmin. The proxmox UI helps you define the characteristics of the container, but then you have to put everything inside the container yourself without help or reproducibility.
For sure. Just having one when you own a home is very handy. Being able to just toss long boards or pipes or large pieces of furniture in the back is great. I really only use my truck for truck related stuff (things I wouldn’t otherwise be able to use a sedan or suv for) perhaps 2-3x a month. But that’s enough to justify owning one. I think even if it was only once every 3 months it would still be justified, since it doesn’t get radically worse mileage than a sedan and I don’t otherwise drive much.
I've lived up North in Canada and very much liked the F150, even if it was not exactly quality material it did the job and never got stuck no matter how bad the weather got. We built a house with it and it did double duty as farm truck. I don't think there was another vehicle even close in price to that one that would have done the same job. I'd have been just as happy with a smaller engine though, a V6 would have been plenty. Except that one time when I pulled a full size semi out of ditch (that did require some extra weight in the bed). They are pretty versatile workhorses and for that area they're a good match. The only people that should drive them around cities are contractors and landscapers, guys in suits driving big pickups have other issues.
We care more about the data resides versus where it's accessible. A developer knows C++ and a DBA knows SQL so each have their own tools to create monitoring.

I hope your product succeeds but it needs to be easy for useless people and I feel like you are aiming for braniacs like you
This is their "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US" moment.
Have you ever thought that your experience may be anecdotal?
A little over a decade ago some of my friends who were Turbo Pascal fans transitioned to Lazarus. Seemed like the logical successor to Turbo Pascal and Free Pascal. (Personally I transitioned to writing C++ in Emacs as I did not really appreciate the Pascal language.)
I think this is very similar to one of the games that I played growing up. I'm from a remote corner of India and everyone there knows how to play (school, family gatherings, etc). I tried teaching my kids but they find it too boring and mundane.
As someone who has spent a lot of time in the NYC classical/art music scene: I have many, many of those personal experiences.
Looks like we're gonna need AI ad blockers soon.
They’ve run out of chip companies to buy, so they have to figure out how to buy software companies. This is a little bit speculative but I believe they’re substantially interested in VMware’s capability to buy and integrate other software companies.
Just in case you haven't seen the postmortem of the Cloudflare outage which also was caused by a regex based DoS: https://blog.cloudflare.com/details-of-the-cloudflare-outage...
Really? The article didn’t give any details or I missed it. Is there more details I can read of how it’s used against the public?

Also, way too many people seemed to take the position of “oh it’s a company laptop so of course spyware is allowed”. It’s kinda gross how that’s accepted as “ok” - like if the company buys me a video camera or television for work that I can take home, it’s not ok if that fixed function appliance is reporting everything back to HQ. But for general purpose computing we’ve kind of accepted this breach of privacy without question. It’s really quite shocking (and no - it’s not a cybersecurity best practice to have spyware running on your employees devices).
It is. I remember listening to some AI or neuroscience podcast in 2019, it was an interview where one guy made a digression about religion being an internal control system which may be common and shared by people and works on mind level - the opposite, external control systems we make because people don't belive (in the same), so the first one doesn't work for them but CCTV (over them) does.

I can not find that podcast anymore. Any clue ?
> American GDP growing 30x the rate of China

it merely shows how much richer americans are compared to the chinese.

A drug is quite often an inelastic good - someone who is dying will, with very high probability, pay the maximum price they could afford for the drug.
Locality of Behavior (Programming)
In the Netherlands, bicycles and pedestrians get default priority, and often car lights go green when they detect a car in a loop in time for the car to reach the intersection.

This setup as I understand is preferred because it aligns with their modal priorities, and it is easier and more reliable to detect a heavy metal car than a person or a bicycle.
> I hate to say it but this is modern web dev in a nutshell. Remove stuff until you find where the bug is, tweak it randomly until it's fixed, done.

I’ve alternated between frontend, “full stack”, and backend roles for over 20 years. It’s my experience that what you’re describing is “dev in a nutshell”—neither “modern” nor “web” in the sense you seem to mean. And in any case it’s highly situational and variable depending on the dev and their team.

Probably the same ones who came up with the idea of "Partial zero" (emissions).
The typical use case would be with the sqlite in the browser?

I thought that it was deprecated for a lack of diversity of implementation.
Any news on the locations of the cuts? It looks like VMware is mostly in the Bay Area.
If you own the company you are still not in control - you have to worry about customers and a larger company throwing a few people at your product and squashing you like a cockroach
I just read the first paragraph and then decided I wanted to play and I still beat the bot first try. At least that means the game rules are fairly discoverable :)
Why are we incentivizing huge vehicles, sigh =/
Isn’t that a dishonest argument? Maybe they are saying they prefer to work with people who promote diversity to be in line with their values.
I agree with the others here about the ending being a total letdown.

Unfortunately, with access to neither the Chrome source code nor the Grammarly source code, we can only guess.

Is this what the "open source" movement has created --- developers who are
totally lost without source code and refuse to dig deeper? Of course the corporate interests who don't want us to know the truth, because their profit depends on it, would absolutely adore such propaganda...

I still remember a time when a lot of people would disassemble, understand, and patch programs without source --- and many of them weren't even career developers; it was just a way to get software to do what one wanted, and driven by that motivation, one would naturally learn enough to do so.

The article also touches on another point worth mentioning: the amount of complexity in the whole stack is insane. Seeing all the frameworks upon frameworks being name-dropped, I can't help but feel like a lot of this is self-inflicted.

When I removed loader-spinner.gif, the placeholder we display while the menu options load, the page stopped crashing.

Do menu options take long enough to load that they need a loading animation?
If organizations want to use software hosted by people that share their values, the solution is obvious: Self host. There are endless seelf-hostable basecamp alternatives, and I am sure there are people at Duke that would gain valuable experience helping host and maintain such services.
Let’s be honest here. To say that FAANG hasn’t achieved anything is demonstrably false
In Sutton's essay he's talking about more general techniques vs ones that build in expert knowledge. In the case of this paper it's the same technique in both the fine-tuned and "general" cases. So Sutton's argument doesn't apply here. This is entirely about training data.

The big flaw in this paper, to me, is that no one knows what GPT-4 has been trained on. It could include all the same training sources as the specialized models for all we know. If that's the case, it's a bit curious that it requires prompting to get the accuracy, but again, we'll never know.

I'd go so far as to say this paper isn't even giving any useful information here, aside from the fact that GPT-4 can be made to work well in these specific domains with prompting.
It's biggest downside was that it was limited to producing 64KB .COM files until version 4 or 5.
Well this is very addictive, thank you for sharing.

If you're looking for feature requests then the ability to view move history (especially after the game is over) and the ability to share completed games would be nice. I see a game ID but it's not clear to me I can do anything with it.
When you mute corporate media all of these little voices get louder.
The traits that make human beings unique (2022)
So is VMware. Not as severely so, but they took apart a bunch of systems in Pivotal because they already had one. Never mind that Pivotal’s version worked and VMware’s didn’t.

Especially amusing (in hindsight) in the case of provisioning test VSphere clusters.
It's the element in quick sort that you swap around to make sure all elements before pivot are less than it and all elements after are greater than it.
Given that we're talking about Stanisław Lem, what about using something like Google Lens to translate the text on the fly? :)
How would a spy be checked for embedded devices?
If you don't believe me then pretend I'm trying to write a Tom Clancy novel. If I was worried that I'd had a device embedded in me like the following: https://www.wired.com/2002/06/excuse-me-is-your-tooth-ringing/
how could I have my body scanned to have it removed? I remember being told it was very small and that it was too deep to show up in an MRI. I was told it was a speaker/microphone but it could have been a microchip.
Because it's not free, it's $6000. It's fine to mention the two things together but rolling them into one figure is nonsense - expected operational savings don't have any impact on purchase price. In the context of the Tesla, the 'gas savings' are 1) an estimate based on a specific scenario and therefore not guaranteed, and 2) not materialised at the point of purchase; this is the difference between 'price' and 'cost'.

Try walking into a Tesla dealership, telling them you expect the car to save you $10,000 over its lifetime, and that you should therefore pay $10,000 less than the ticket price, and see what they say.
At least by default you get three moves per turn. Try playing more moves.
I hope not. I want AI to hammer in the final nails into the coffin of intellectual property so we can finally bury it. I want this technology to be so ubiquitous it cannot be controlled. I want them to give up on controlling things with such nonsense "legal protections", society should change permanently instead.
Large station wagons no longer exist in the US market. The biggest one remaining is probably the Volvo V90, which is a nice car but can barely fit 5 people, and if you put a dog in the back then there's no room for cargo. It's also too expensive for most families; several large SUVs are actually cheaper.

Minivans are a good option for some families. But they suck for towing trailers, and the ground clearance is terrible if you ever have to drive on a dirt road.
I can't remember the details anymore but the craziest bug I ever found was one that would crash the page whenever Chrome's Developer Tools were opened. I ended up having to use an embedded JS-based dev tool to figure out what was going on (I was a pretty junior developer and didn't have any better ideas at the time).
Bloodcom is ruthless. Wonder what the severance package is like
This is not answering that question. It is answering whether a specific large model with unknown training set can compete with specific small models on known smaller training sets.
U-haul rents pickup trucks for $20 a day plus mileage, and if you want something bigger, they've got it. Your friends and family would get along just fine without your truck ownership.
We’re incentivizing business capital investments. Certainly, it’s not always efficient (Hummers that used this tax treatment), but that is the intent. It would be more optimal if trucks didn’t keep getting bigger, but trucks are still needed for work purposes.
US Compels Saudi Fund to Exit AI Chip Startup Backed by Altman
Nerds need to stop assuming what's best for tradespeople and offering unsolicited advice.

Ultimately the market will decide.

This usually comes up in the context of telling landscapers they should give up their gasoline powered tools and switch to battery; or, my personal favorite, "use rakes".

The tradesmen will decide what is best for themselves, given the proper incentives, and we will adapt.
Do you not have zebra crossings where you are? Striped line going across the road, with "flashing amber beacons" on either side, where cars must stop if someone is crossing or waiting to cross.

I think they're mainly a UK/Ireland thing, which confused the hell out of me when I went to continental europe and saw the same road markings paired with actual traffic lights + button. (here, that'd be a "pelican crossing" and have different road markings)
I was about to say there are a good few tools smaller than that on my system, but I was one hundred percent wrong.

# zsh glob for regular files that are smaller
print -l /usr/bin/*(.L-39731) # Some ~500 results
# Not interpreted or using system libraries
file /usr/bin/*(.L-39731) | egrep -v '(script|dynamically)' # 0 results

Turns out there are only smaller things if you accept big caveats.
