I'm sure I would get a bad response!

Same as if I went to a very religious area, and disputed the existence of their god.

Just cos a bunch of people believe this or that bit of nonsense, perhaps almost everyone, doesn't make it real.
I feel like you missed the point of GP.

There's been many situations in history where enough people stopped believing in their country and suddenly the shared fiction was no more. East German police, judges and tax collectors had a lot of power until all of a sudden - they didn't.
Having read a few accounts of what it takes to summit Everest, I would guess that the number of people who could achieve it is less than half of 80%. The excellent book Into Thin Air[0] has a lot more on this (and some thoughts on the increased tourism/commercialization of the mountain).

That is a good point. I thought this was for embedding on a README
> Can you actually use those workflows in some sort of API from a script to automate it from lets say a python script.

Yes, you can, and the workflow JSON format has a reduced "API form" that discards visual/UI related information.

Also, if you are using Python, you could do your automation in Comfy (as custom nodes) instead of outside, too.

Probably a bigger percent of total GC sales by volume than by number of transactions. I assume legit purchases are $25-50, and scam-induced purchases are larger, perhaps much larger.
What in this stack allows mass real time writes and cache invalidations?

Bigpipe looks like it chunks data from the server to the client, but it's not clear to me how that helps with real time updates to the database?

Varnish can help to a degree, but if you're on a big provider you're going through their Varnish setup anyway (among other caches) and it's not super configurable.
I think OP makes clear actually that this was not a MS-inspired coup. MS appears to have had no role in the CSET paper criticism or anything else that I've found in the runup, and then during the crisis, being mostly reactive and defaulting to a simple loyalty of 'whatever our guy Altman says' (which included Altman+OA defecting to MS as their BATNA against the Board), and when the war went hot, ultimately decided that the status quo was most in their favor:

"As enticing as Plan C initially seemed, Microsoft executives have since concluded that the current situation is the best possible outcome.
Moving OpenAI’s staff into Microsoft could have led to costly and time-wasting litigation, in addition to possible government intervention.
Under the new framework, Microsoft has gained a nonvoting board seat at OpenAI, giving it greater influence without attracting regulatory scrutiny."
Although then you need something something both fast, and refuelable, and recoverable. So... bigger, heavier, etc. And recovered and refuled in combat. Not necessarily impossible but much more complicated.
You mean getting killed and conquered?
old VMWare used to cater to boomer enterprise companies and thats how they sold their products.

These new owners however are not interested in catering to customers' needs - they just want to milk license fees like Oracle and outsource as much product development and customer support overseas as possible.

with predictable outcomes obviously
I'm not a HTMX believer, so excuse my potential ignorance, but as far as I know the whole principle of HTMX is to keep things so simple that things cannot go out of sync. (Mostly because HTMX is basically a set of locally cute JS snippets helping with managing the very local interaction/state of a "user clicks button -> JS disables button, sends request to backend, waits for response, puts response somewhere in the DOM, and re-enables the button (or removes it, etc)"

everything else is simply HTML, <a href.., routing is on the backend, etc.

and yes, the article is targeting the SPA crowd
I can't imagine it will ever become mainstream to store source code using anything but plain text unless we stop using Git and representing files and directories in the classical Unix fashion.

The alternative to plain text is programming-language specific version control and source code formats, and managing codebases using some external database tool, or something similar. It also means you can't easily interoperate with existing plain text code.

I predict the only way people will switch is if there's some overwhelming competitive advantage in storing code as something other than text files, to the point where business competitors will go bankrupt from not upgrading technologies. And then the open source community will adopt it after the industry does.
The important thing is - Firefox has been slowly dying for a decade and SQLite has taken over the world.

You install the Nvidia drivers through your distro package manager. That's worked for me for the past 10 years. In recent years, the driver or some component of it recompiles via dkms whenever you install a new kernel. The Nouveau drivers have never worked for me.

Wonder if this would hold for GPT 4, and if GPT training on the tuning/human feedback was for more 'conversational' responses.
Since recently, it does seem like GPT 4 is a little more 'dry' and guarded in its responses. A few months ago it would give me some sassy answers, now it is more business like.
would you mind elaborating or linking to this grading notation? not sure what to even look for
>> Assuming all this is reasonably true, there's a crazy amount of difference between ranks 7 and 10

For me the ranks are ordinal, not cardinal, so if they are represented as cardinal somewhere I wouldn't agree with that.

I assume that "I think it would be __difficult__ to claim that Soros is highly self-made" has a missing not somewhere?
You misunderstand, I'm not trying to convince rights holders. I hope they go out of business, and I hope my piracy is what does it. It's just that, knowing myself, I know I wouldn't bother with the hassle of pirating if there were a better alternative, like I stopped pirating games and just buy them on Steam now.

Social science is STEM by definition. The S stands for science.
I'd prefer to have the option to use my current Nvidia card with open source drivers, or to purchase a new one (I care more about good open source drivers now than I did when I bought my current card, in large part because of Wayland). Plus, Nvidia has a virtual monopoly on neural network acceleration because of CUDA, and that seems like it will last at least a few more years, so for some people it's not as simple as "buy AMD".

Second, my understanding of Linux's history is that people creating open source drivers for hardware is responsible for its success. The problem of bootstrapping Linux hardware compatibility was solved in part by people writing open-source drivers when companies didn't support Linux. Community support has been necessary for the creation and upstreaming of many previous drivers, not least among them AMDGpu.

Also, in this case, a large portion of the work for Nouveau is funded by Red Hat. I believe they business reasons for wanting a well-functioning open source Nvidia driver.
How much data a single user sees at a time?
I think Salad Fingers is very good, but surrealism was not invented in 2003. Surely there must have been earlier animated films with surreal themes. It could have a place as early internet art, and I don't understand how novel it really is, but I am not a art historian either.

On the contrary, I think many of us miss a bit of the internet that was before 2015. Todays walled gardens of stalker ad agencies and mega corps feels very different to the internet I knew.
What many people either can't or don't want to acknowledge is that ultimately whether or not you support live updates in parallel by multiple users, instead of locking so only one update can proceed at a time, is not a technical decision, it's a business decision: do the business rules that are appropriate for your application enable you to deal with concurrent live updates or not?

Ultimately that comes down to whether you can implement a process to ensure consistent resolution of any incompatibilities between multiple concurrent updates. Sometimes that can be done, and sometimes it can't, and which is the case for your application depends on your business rules, not on any technical capability.

If your business rules don't allow you to implement a resolution mechanism, you need locking so that only one update can happen at a time, whether you have the technical capability to support concurrent updates or not.
I think GP's sardonic point was that this sort of thing is more analogous to actual piracy than torrenting is -- people are actually being deprived of things they purchased here.
Is there really such thing as a bird or a dog? (Might I remind you, that there is no such thing as a fish?). Why not do away with all abstractions?

Perhaps it's because abstractions are often useful.
In Go, when you export function names they are capitalised. Eg MyFunc() would be exported and myFunc() is not. This always looks so jarring to me and I’ve avoided Go largely because of it, which must rank as one of the more snowflake reasons to avoid a programming language.
Open source driver lasts longer. Because of the great work by the Nouveau guys, I was able to use some hardware for longer than Nvidia would support. Very thankful.

Back in the day, VIA's Unichrome integrated graphics were best supported by the OpenChrome project. Very grateful to those guys too.

One other piece of prior art is Lotus Notes, in which the database was stored locally and synced in the background. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCL_Notes
>For example, let's suppose that you manage to have a conversation with God and you discover that BB(100) has the value of 42, and Chaitlin's number is 1/2.

An uncomputable number can not be expressed as a finite sequence of digits in any computable base. So Chaitin's constant must consist of an infinite number of digits regardless of what base you choose, so long as the base is computable.

So "God" or an oracle can never actually produce Chaitin's constant in any finite representation, all an oracle can do is behave as a function where you give it an integer N, and it returns the N'th digit of Chaitin's constant.

If you added attributes for the number of rows and columns (something like <table ... rows="4" cols="4">), it could render it progressively.

I don't recall if that was vanilla HTML or vendor extension, I suspect not vanilla.

>I think the trigger that would bring people back to the office is a new economic boom based on new and unknown technology

The modern Internet, the WWW, Linux, etc. and most of the core infra as we know it (and take for granted) was built in the 90s by people worldwide largely communicating via IRC and mailing lists.

If that's not an example of new and unknown technology, then I don't know what is.

FML I have a major dependency on one of their products. I guess that's life :|
"Surprisingly, ELIZA, developed in the mid-1960s by computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT, scored relatively well during the study, achieving a success rate of 27 percent. GPT-3.5, depending on the prompt, scored a 14 percent success rate, below ELIZA. GPT-4 achieved a success rate of 41 percent, second only to actual humans"

GPT-4 did better. I think the article stated 3.5 was like that by design.
This is a mixed route, so the comment above cites three grading scales:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(climbing)

The Mixed Climbing, Alpine Ice, and Aid Climbing grade scales, respectively. I wish I could provide more detail into each than the Wikipedia article, but the reality is each grading scale could probably warrant a small book of history and local/regional ethics.
Can you say more about the information you uploaded for the language to be useful – for example, the language specification, or a "getting started with $LANG" manual? I'm tempted to do a GPT for the classic Macintosh toolkit, but since I'll need to do a lot of OCR I'd prefer to be intentional about what I spend my effort on.
Yeah, I got that, but I thought this was a good time to point out that this is actual theft.
Location: EU

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

Words mean things. This word doesn't mean what you want it to mean, either according to the other people in the thread you're interacting with, or the source you decided to cite.

Etymology is not the sole determiner of meaning. We can call an area on the moon a "mare", and know this comes from the Latin for "sea", but "mare" in the context no longer means "sea".
It's always nice to see a YouTuber diversifying and branching out into "real" business. And kitboga is one of the few YouTubers whose videos make an obviously net positive impact on the world, so he deserves success, and he's clearly got the promotional and technical skills to find it. Assuming this is actually "his" company (and he's not just a spokesman as some comments are implying), then best of luck to him, and I hope he's able to achieve his vision.
That could just hint at complex legacy code that painted Docs into a corner and prevented them from easily supporting that feature without a full rewrite. No doubt the problem is challenging but just because Google didn't do it for docs does not mean it's necessarily some Herculean feat.

Apologies - you certainly are entitled to your strong opinions about your local politics!
What is an abstraction really? Surely the only context we have in this world are the molecules that surround us. Any simplification we have would obviously bias us into the status quo. But what is a molecule ... but I digress? But what is a digression? .. there I go again!

Their business plan seems to be working out for them.
I can't tell anything about 1. and 3., but depending on how you do 2. it might be a form of mental exposure from CBT.

Assuming you reach the threshold level (i.e. you're outside your comfort zone), and stay there, a habituation happens, because your brain adjusts to the situation.

In case of fear, you basically think about the proverbial spider so long, that the brain realizes "hmm, it's been 30 minutes, so maybe it won't annihilate me"? (Again, you need to actually feel the fear to the point of being uncomfortable.)

(Of course I don't know your specific case, and also I'm not a professional.)
I mean, other than this lovely anecdote, lithium batteries do, in fact, work absolutely fine I'm very cold temperatures, albeit at reduced capacity. The reason your phone shuts down is because the allowed discharge rate of the battery also goes down and it can't run its components at requested power levels, not because the battery stopped working.

Since we're sharing anecdotes - EVs are extremely popular in Norway and YouTube is full of videos of people testing the cars in negative 40 or even 50 centigrade. They work fine even without battery preheat.

What's the state of open models, though? I know that OpenAI's secret sauce is paying $$$ for access to private corpora, like the AP's archive, and I wonder how much the different levels of access to training data are reflected in any divide between open and commercial models, especially in different use cases like fact retrieval and synthesis.

(I've gotten too reliant on ChatGPT to satisfy my curiosity re: random questions – for example, "what are some French novels that depict post World War II Paris?" Honestly, if there's an open model that's beyond some "good enough" threshold – I don't know how to judge this – I'd download it on my computer ASAP.)
