The memory mapping for High-Res on the Apple II was indeed crazy. Combined with the funky color rules, I was never able to learn enough assembly to make fast line drawing.

Having this code when I was a teenager would have been great:

// I told you the memory mapping's crazy
function pixelsToMemory(pixelBytes) {
let mem = new Array(8192).fill(0);
let i = 0;
for (let band = 0; band < 3; band++) {
for (let block_row = 0; block_row < 8; block_row++) {
for (let pixel_row = 0; pixel_row < 8; pixel_row++) {
for (let block_column = 0; block_column < 40; block_column++)
{
let mem_offset = band * 0x28 + block_row * 0x80 + pixel_row * 0x400 + block_column;
mem[mem_offset] = pixelBytes[i];
i++;
}
}
}
}
return mem;
}

The largest project I have in Onyx is currently around 30000 lines (not all that large I know). That project on my Intel i7-1165G7 laptop compiles in about 80ms.

There are currently no large Onyx projects that can really test how this number scales, but I would guess the growth is not linear. So for an off the cuff estimated, I would say a million line project could compile in about 4-5 seconds.

Also worth noting that the entire compiler is currently single-threaded. So that number could get much better.

The most likely "real solution" is going to be using various tricks and finetuning on higher context lengths to just extend the context window. However I will say knowledge graphs are becoming more popular.

I made a comment the other day with a list of some of the popular methods:

I completely forgot to mention ROME in my last comment, where you can modify facts within an LLM https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.05262.pdf

Note that there could be something more recent then these that I missed, but as far as I know knowledge-graphs/RAG are what most people are currently using, but there's a lot of work being focused on extending the context window.

Just because there's a separate world championship and title system for women doesn't mean there's a gender gap. Plenty of women play in and do quite well in open tournaments.

Hou Yifan, the top female player, is above 2600, which by any objective measurement is really fucking good. That's good enough for top 100 players in the world regardless of gender. Just because she isn't competitive againts Magnus doesn't mean there's a gender gap....because TBH nobody is truly competitive against him.
Meta employee here. The system is not perfect, or it would not "hallucinate", while it's pretty good, it does sometime make errors (not just hallucination, maybe just some mistranslation due to noise in the training data). What we want is to avoid these errors to introduce toxicity (think swear words) that weren't in the input as this could be very bad for the user. There is a separate system that double checks the output (compared to the input) and tells the translation model to try again if it's too bad.
I bought my last 1U server a few years ago. The space savings I thought I was gaining was quickly diminished by the fact that we weren't going to be able to fill a cabinet simply due to running over our power envelope. It was going to require a bigger circuit, an electrician to install it, a change in our cool billing, etc.

So, these newer CPUs while being a lot more powerful also draw a lot more power as well. In the end the squeezing 1000s of CFM through a 1.75" aperture wasn't worth the headache.

I'm glad to see cloud providers are still using datacenter standard 1U chassis. I assumed everyone had moved to Open Compute rack dimensions 537x44mm.

The neighboring cabinet to ours has a 3x Walmart box fans. I thought that was pretty innovative. Just use big silent, slow, fans instead of these tiny, noisy airhorns.
The problem for me is that the effect is that you almost never make it above the floor. Maybe I'd have a different view on it if I had to work with a bunch of beginners, but I luckily don't.
How did you choose between training a model from scratch vs using retrieval augmented generation with an existing off-the-shelf model? From what I've observed, RAG + off-the-shelf model seems to be the more common approach for use cases like "create LLM that answers questions about my company's internal documentation", particularly because the iteration/improvement cycle is much shorter-- it's much easier to iterate on RAG/prompts vs. training a whole new model to improve it.
(If the answer is "I just wanted to try training a whole new llm", I won't fault you for that! :) )
Creator of Couchbase Mobile here — I’m doing a new web-based thing[1] with a similar reactive API. I’m hoping that my encrypted block replication makes it more of a “data anywhere” solution than a “local first” database. But the paradigm of powerful databases in the browser is definitely one I’m glad to see becoming popular.

Pilot (https://pilot.com/) | Full-time | Onsite (SF) | Sr Software Engineer (Backend or Full-Stack)

Pilot is a Series-C funded, 7-year-old successful startup that partners with other companies to run their financial back office. We let small businesses focus on what they do best -- running their business -- and offload to us the financial back office. We build software that makes this possible: software that enables us to deliver a high-quality bookkeeping, CFO, Tax etc service while also scaling to thousands of customers.

Pilot’s aim is to provide our customers with the same superpowers as large companies with full finance teams — superpowers that include having a deep understanding of financial health of the business, the machinery to constantly improve it, and the predictive abilities to thoughtfully plan for the future. We do this at a fraction of the cost a large company would pay for this, by delivering these capabilities through powerful software.

Pilot is already one of the biggest bookkeeping firms in the country (if not the biggest!) and we're just getting started (we also have 3+ years of runway and not imminently in need of any fundraise).

All of our teams have unique charters to collectively build the software, services and systems that enable Pilot to deliver a high-quality experience, profitably, at scale. The Accounting Engine team enables Pilot to build our bookkeeping service on an increasingly real-time foundation of customer financial data. We're hiring a senior engineer who loves to go deep in complex systems, and who loves to bring order to chaos :)

If this sounds interesting, please reach out!

> And every time you visit a hotel and hand them your card they tend to make an imprint of the card

I haven't had my card imprinted (or, later, photocopied) in hotels since a long time. Now it's just a pre-authorization.

Although recently I had my credit card photocopied by a car rental agency so they would be able to phone the card processor and cancel the pre-auth manually. Absolute madness.

> the only thing the hotel doesn't have is the CVC

Considering the most recent credit cards that I have been issued, most lost the embossing and now print the PAN on the back together with the CVC, so if some hotel photocopies the card - as nobody have the imprinters anymore - the CVC is there. This also applies to the last embossed card that I have in my wallet, an Amex card, which always had the CVC on the front that wasn't captured with an imprinter. Now with photocopiers, it is.
Very speculative amateur opinion: My understanding is that Valve didn't exactly ban AI, they banned AI that was fed copyrighted works that could possibly make the results copyright infringement ( https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/1/23781339/valve-steam-ai-ar... ). (Side note: Regardless of individual views on whether AIs are just copyright regurgitaters or not, I can understand Valve being cautious until courts have actually decided.) So if speech models can be made purely from assets that their creators can prove they have the rights to use, it would probably be easy enough to get it approved.
An old company I worked for used project management software with a check-in/out mechanism for making changes. When you "check out" a project it downloads a copy that you change locally, then "check in" uploads it back to the server. A project is "locked" while in the "checked out" state. We all felt it was an archaic mechanism in a word of live updating apps.

After 10 years of building SPA "web apps", that data synchronization mechanism feels ahead of its time.

In this case, they mean particles they have hit with a laser to split into superposition, so "quantum particles" = "particles in superposition".
Slightly less worse, but the original function that I inputted into ChatGPT to generate the code from my message was this:

def create_user(email)
user = User.create(email: email)
user.roles << Roles.find_by(name: 'admin')
user.permissions << Permissions.find_by(name: 'invite')
Templates.find_by(name: 'invite').call(user: user)
end

IMO this 4 line function is significantly better in terms of clarity, readability, and it avoids unnecessary state. Testability and encapsulation are the same.

(I would argue that the encapsulation is better with a function, since encapsulation is way too easy to break in Ruby, but hey, that's me)
TypeScript IDEs also typically support this via `// #region <name>` and `// #endregion`.

If you took your high school and college education even somewhat seriously, you would have already learned how an action potential travels through a neuron, and you’d have a good grasp of science fundamentals to read any research paper. I learned it in my high school biology class along with a host of other things. Also, who says your so called “experts” know those details either? I’ve met a physician (recent new grad) had no idea what mitosis was, something I’ve known since I was like 12 and I develop software for a living. We’re supposed to trust what these people say? Nah

Ah, that's a nice observation about zero, that would have saved me some typing. :-)

I did the same thing with my actual solution in terms of order (but I went 0, 1, 2, 3), but mostly so I could truncate the matching array to solve part 1. Notably, that was a ret-con of my actual solution to part 1, which I originally did by just mapping the characters through .is_ascii_digit(), but I wanted to consolidate the code a little. I ended up with:

You need radar to detect incoming things anyway, and radar can be re-used.
I have three shots and zero covid.

See the problem?

People who believe they know what is best for any other person are exclusively idiots.(not saying this is anyone in particular)

Also, please don't suggest the shots did anything. I get sick once per five years. It's plausible that the shots helped but not definitive.

Incentives that work are easy. Do research in corporate labs. That's all it takes. Now there is an incentive to do work that replicates (because it is intended to be used to build useful things), there are people responsible for detecting and resolving fraud (managers), they are incentivized to do so by a mix of carrots and sticks some of them legal.

Fact is, corporate R&D doesn't have this relentless problem with reproducibility. It's academic output that does, because academics only care about getting a paper published and don't expect that anyone will use their results. Often they don't even make their code or data available at all because it's not to their advantage for others to be able to replicate their work, as that would yield fewer papers. But this is all wrong. Science exists to be used in technology, not for its own sake.
Gepard has a range of 6km vs buk range of 50km or s-300 range of 120km. You would need a lot of them and they also don't have enough range to cover offensives.
It’s a shame that their UI and docs are by far the best of the three (at least for me) in my experience. However their support is non-existent. Given I use the UI and docs daily and rarely use their support that’s the trade off I’ve made.
This looks like it would be useful for any online clothes shopping. Why fixate on negative uses?
I do understand to the degree tax incentives get involved. But, whether having deluded themselves or not, I do believe most execs pushing RTO are doing so for reasons they think are sound for collaboration, cultural, or other rational reasons.

I love that the grad student who caught it came from a Marxist-oriented economics program. He legit figured it out by trying to replicate the results published by Reinhart and Rogoff.

Not-so-fun fact: Economists don't publish their actual Excel spreadsheets, which would have made their error trivial to prove, but just the results!

I mean, obviously. Anduril is one company, and still a relatively small company at that.

> And if you want quality, anduril is not at the forefront of this at all.

The US, as you mention, already has quality. We need speed and things that are "good enough" right now, not quality. Anduril seems to be heading pretty good in that direction.

> “He believed he was in a relationship with the model. He sent her money to buy dresses and encouraged her to continue posting photos. I don’t know if they’re still together,” she jokes.

Emotionally manipulating someone to send money. Hilarious. I just can't stop laughing.

OnlyFans is an abusive platform. It's not "just" nodes and porn, it sells "connections", except they're not really connections at all, and then abuses that to make money. It's just like the old "form a connection, then ask for money"-scam that's been around for ages.

Before they were falling out of fashion, there were relatively "cheap" versions produced in larger numbers (like 400+ Gepards for Germany, for example, no idea how many of the 35mm guns were made), if I recall correctly, also, you don't need thousands of AA guns to protect an object. The current skyranger 30 system is $5+M I think, but I don't think you need necessarily luxury systems to defend against rather simple drones (and it has low production numbers, I believe).
Oh yeah no, the issue was not with the API, it’s just that I got to the first example, figured “seems easy enough” making a bunch of assumption I did not validate in any way in the process, then when that didn’t work rather than check I was using the API correctly I made a bunch more assumptions (completely nonsensical too) of where the error might be. When I finally got to reading the docstring for `find_iter` the error was obvious and it took seconds to get the correct result again.

Also, nothing ticks all the usability boxes from actual HCI papers as vim's edit mode. It's confusing because the UI around it never evolved. But one can argue that even moving your hand to the mouse to select text, click menus etc is exactly that same pattern with a physical component. That's why removing this from a vim expert is like removing the mouse from an excel office worker.
The amount of conflation between "the Internet" and "the Web" is way too high in here. It is the most popular protocol, but it is not the only protocol.
AA guns have the following issues:

1. Everything you shoot into the air must come down.

2. Active radar is a loud target and stationary targets are difficult to relocate quickly.

3. Automated AA have a larger footprint and are more obvious installations.

Considering the customer who this was designed for was US Special Operations Command, it makes sense that small, light, pinpoint, and easily relocatable were priorities.
