That's not the point though. The point is that companies and individuals continue to profit long after dangers are discovered, then we have to foot the cleanup bill. I looked it up and the US didn't ban lead pipe until 1986:

https://www.epa.gov/sdwa/use-lead-free-pipes-fittings-fixtur...

1986! Which means that someone lobbied for lead's continue use for decades. Most likely fossil fuel companies for leaded gas, and lead manufacturers, but maybe even plumbers unions. Looks like the dangers of lead were well understood by the 1950s but probably as far back as 2000 BC:

https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/get_the_lead_o...

There is overwhelming evidence on the dangers of the other substances I mentioned. And the list of dangerous substances is too long to list here, easily going into the hundreds or thousands.

Your point about the dangers of eating charred meat, while potentially true, doesn't discount these other dangers.

What concerns me is that ignorance is so prevalent in our discourse now that my mention of it triggers people more strongly than the topic at hand. It's become the very tool that the wealthy and powerful use to manipulate us. They know that equivocating arguments like yours are given equal airtime with the facts.

And a public not trained in civics or critical thinking skills is easily manipulated into voting against its own self-interest. That process forms the basis of center-right political strategy (adopted by republicans and establishment democrats), especially when aligned with regulatory capture of the government by corporations.

Whereas the direct strategy I mentioned, of auditing and billing the guilty parties is considered laughably naive, even cruel to the hardworking snake oil salesmen. So the narrative becomes: We should wait and see if there's more evidence. Too much work, might as well give up. It's all grandfathered in now, nothing we can do anyway.

And the really great part about all of this is that any guilty parties actually were grandfathered in by the EPA's 1986 SDWA amendment, exempting them from any liability from the time before then, to the tune of I don't know, $100 billion or $1 trillion or something. So it wouldn't surprise me if people in the lead business read the writing on the wall and pushed for the amendment to protect themselves. Many laws are like that, where the puppeteer can't be seen while the public focuses on the marionette.

Leaving me with the inevitable conclusion that maybe we shouldn't grandfather in anything. Which is impractical, and why I say that in a very real way, great wealth is built on ignorance.
This is really cool, and perfect for an aughts-throwback music project I've been chewing on. Thanks!
Sure, but consider this sentence (in the comment above):

Not only is "utilized" not doing any extra work there, it's arguably the wrong word to use there, as "use" fits better.

All of these are legit, and that's why they're great excuses. CI works most of the time, but sometimes has hiccups for whatever reason. Everybody gets hit by such issues from time to time, this particular dev is just reeeally unlucky and happens to catch those every other day. But nobody keeps the stats. People might get a hunch something is wrong, but what can you do with that?
IIRC, the Creel Committee (1917-1919) would move clique by clique, so not pervasive surveillance, but they did have a handle on the social graph, and not personalised persuasion, but somewhat small-group-ised persuasion.

Didn't read the article, I was hoping it was a gallery with a time line. Anyway, look for New Caledonian Crows, they make tools (bended hooks). It's the only non primate species that does. Supposedly, to make a tool you have a super accurate model representation in your head on what you want to achieve while elaborating such tool. That is awesome.
I've checked in America before and came to the same conclusion. There's an idea that COBOL programming pays vastly more than other languages, but it's just a myth. It might pay a little more, but more like 20% more. Certainly not enough to warrant a COBOL career.

And I'm sure some consultants can earn vast sums fixing old COBOL code, but that's just because they're consultants. Consultants always earn vast sums.

Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Muscimol
I actually think the humanities are wasted on undergraduates.

School children should have exposure to the humanities in high school.

Then college should prepare students for a job.

Then after earning money, people should explore the humanities.

I don’t think 18-22 in modern society really have enough life experience to really appreciate the questions the humanities seeks to answer.
In case it’s confusing for anyone to see “weight” as a verb and a noun so close together, there are indeed two different things going on:

1. There are the model weights, aka the parameters. These are what get adjusted during training to do the learning part. They always exist.

2. There are attention weights. These are part of the transformer architecture and they “weight” the context of the input. They are ephemeral. Used and discarded. Don’t always exist.

They are both typically 32-bit floats in case you’re curious but still different concepts.
Encryption works by mathematically not being predictable, whereas LLMs operate on predictable data.
I'm pretty sure there's already a system to transpile COBOL to Java without resorting to LLMs.
I suspect the existing implementation and it’s downsides are a feature not a bug.

There's probably not all that much to see past the decade-old public release from the arc project. The parts of it that aren't public past that are non-public by necessity, like the voting ring detector stuff.
Honestly, yoga. I'm not talking about the stretching contests they do in most gyms, I'm talking about the real deal. When your sexual energy gets drawn up into your body as your nervous system is awakened you get a new definition for the word 'ecstasy'. It makes you want to jump up and down like a child. You laugh out loud spontaneously at discovering the best secret in the world.

A few people on HN are into Buddhist meditation - I read mentions of Culadasa's The Mind Illuminated or Ingram's book. Indeed I've done several Vipassana and Zen retreats, but they just aren't as integrated as yogas 8 limbs. They may lead to the same place eventually, but I think they take much longer.

If there was a device that made people feel as good as the awakening nervous system, the inventor would be a multi-millionaire, no question (in fact I think I heard a Western monk is involved in a startup to try to create one). It is truly unparalleled and something actually worth experiencing (from what I've seen so far).

It’s the confusion between actions(basically third party plugins) and workflows(the ci that you are building for yourself) that got me.
Title suggests when using clang, built binaries can't be run on this device. It means it can't build for this architecture at all. But the post eloborates that it's possible to build for this architecture, it's just incorrectly targets another one. It would not matter if it's on the same architecture, or cross compiling. The capability is there. It requires you to be explicit about which architecture you are targeting.

A default for targeting is incorrect, and/or an architecture identification is buggy. But binaries built for Pi B+ - when using correct targeting arguments - can be run on Pi B+.

Now if the title is using wording that suggest a functionality is not there anymore vs the reality, where defaults or identification are incorrect, wouldn't that mean that is hunting for sensation?
“In summary, drive on and ignore the local noise”

This is disastrous in many environments, but won’t sound as alpha or be as fun of a read.

The point about acting angry and then being angry being the same only tells me that about anger. I’m very skeptical this applies to joy or happiness as cranking a heart rate up is easier than down.

Interestingly, most the qualities the authors praise are what have created a rather polarized world: high stress leading to growth (my anecdotal experience is this is very false and VERY bad for society as a whole), confident rather than thoughtful (could be construed as arrogant and doesn’t work well in complex environments ), and always localize to overcome (I do like this one).

Overall, pretty typical “stick-to-idness” type reasoning.

You can essentially already do this with llama.cpp and ssd swap, much more quickly. Technically it only does the prompt processing and a few layers on the GPU (if that), but honestly that is better, just to avoid all the transfers over the GPU bus.

And you can do it in MLC, in your IGP, if you have enough CPU RAM to fit the model.

Running a 70B very slowly is nothing new. To be blunt, this strategy is a bad idea in the face of newer implementations.

I stayed away from jenkins for a long while because of its bad reputation, but after diving into it for a recent project I was surprisingly impressed how easy it was to set everything up (with the docker image at least), and it seemed that there was a solution for just about every convoluted build scenario I could come up with. In contrast, I've tried out other tools and encountered: confusing uis, too much focus on docker, broken interop with forges, poor documentation, too much yaml, ...

I guess the flexibility with jenkins is probably both a blessing and a curse.
> If taxes are paying for the school we should subsidize things that are good for America not individuals.

If all you have access to is a subsidized state school, do you get to learn a different language, examine history, ponder philosophy, experience and make art? Or is that only reserved for folks that can afford to go to fancy schools?

Are citizens who are aware of history, other languages and cultures, know how to create and understand art, not good for America?

This is interesting. While I think this approach may not be practical for a single computer due to poor performance, it could open new possibilities for distributed computing. Here, users across the internet could pool their graphics cards and the 80 layers could be distributed across 80 GPUs, with each GPU handling one layer. The results would then be processed through the system. Admittedly, if there is an average latency of 50 ms for each of the 80 GPUs, it would result in an additional 4 seconds of network delay. However, the overall process could be up to 80 times faster than on a single GPU since the layers are already in the GPU memory, albeit on different cards. This method also has the potential to enable the execution of much larger models on consumer hardware.

COBOL code I saw in the 80's and 90's wasn't spaghetti code. COBOL is pretty structured. If it's not, that would be a prior step in porting it to another language.

List of Birdwatchers
I wonder if the 50% drop was because developers were half as effective without copilot. Or was it because they have spent half of the day looking for ways to bypass the block while having angry conversations with colleagues, and therefore, were not coding.
The idea that aggregate developer output is 50% improved by the simple existence of transformers seems to not pass my sniff test.

I haven't seen any of my coworkers improve their output in the past x years.
> "Utilize" is more like "make use of" (as in employing something that was otherwise sitting idle) rather than the more straightforward "use".

Utilize means “make practical and effective use of”, the key difference from bare “use” being the “practical and effective” part. It is particularly useful in describing situations where the “practical and effective” would otherwise be contrary to some or all readers expectation, such as when describing the use of a tool about which there are widespread doubts or, a fortiori, one which is generally perceived as a bad fit for the use case being discussed, its also useful, as in the case upthread, when discussing a broad phenomenon of use to which one is reacting, to narrow that description to exclude uses thaf otherwise fit the description provided but which are bot practical and effective.

The upthread use is both discussing a tool which is controversial in all uses and deecribing a broad phenomenon of use in a context where the narrowing od “utilize” is significant, so it seems to be very much the kind of circumstance where “utilize” is most useful and distinct from “use”.

I don't understand this. Did they measure the number of releases in the GitHub "releases" feature?
Immutable values are reference counted, so for most code, things will be dropped when they exit scope. For captured mutable values, there is a fairly mundane mark and sweep collector. It is possible to manually control the garbage collector, however I have not optimized it for that kind of workload. If you were embedding Steel in a game, I don't think it would be explicitly necessary to tune the GC as long as you aren't using a ton of mutation. If you were using a lot of mutation and still wanted a relatively performant GC collection at the end of every frame, then the underlying GC implementation would have to be changed or swapped to a different one (which is not impossible - I just only have one GC implemented)
No, the biggest issue is you rebuild an image that has apt-update and 20 dependencies break.
It's easily true for me. Far more than 50% for someone doing simple React development or DS scripting.

You’re not missing much, maybe just an implicit and aging position in the field. People have made the argument (in the long line of “this is what makes humans unique” arguments) that our consistent use of technology is what separates us from other animals.

In order to do so they’ve tried to argue that other early primates or hominins apparently outside the human lineage did not. It has been clear for some time to most reasonable observers that this is not the case.

This is just more data that tool use and tool-making are more broadly distributed than the anthropocentrically-fixated would like to admit.
That's fair. But there's still changes going on in terms of extensions, and then there's the implementation level stuff (both hardware and software). So I guess I was really thinking more in terms of the overall ecosystem than just the instruction set.

Why do people change their haircuts or buy new outfits?

Part of branding is fashion. What is current fashion looks outdated and old and, well, out-of-fashion after a few years.

So what you gain is that you continue to look modern and current and up-to-date, rather than looking old and fuddy-duddy and out-of-touch.

> Is a logo important, if not why are you changing it

Because it's important to keep it looking good, part of which is keeping it up-to-date.

> why are you throwing out the current valuable logo

Because it loses value over time as it starts to look old-fashioned

> or are you implicitly accepting you somehow failed and tainted the old logo

I don't know what that means. Logos go out of style not because of anything you did, there's no "tainting". It's just how fashions change
I was interested to see how it affected them in the medium-term, including the VPN/Tor usage, but the data range seems extremely short, a few days before the ban and a few after. Also doesn’t seem to account for any other events taking place in and around that time, or that it’s a weekend and so on.

The link says nothing about Copilot, this title is not just editorialised but wrong.
Yes, it’s the last part. Medicare has set prices it will pay [0], period, and Medicare is not prone to denying procedures that a physician thinks is necessary. This is a public socialized good.

MA plans negotiate with providers, similar to a regular commercial insurance company, for different “deals.” As you may be aware from commercial insurance, that typically means higher rates, since everyone along the line has to get paid across the providers and the insurance companies. Much higher profit motive than a socialized good.

On top of that, MA plans have an incentive to deny coverage wherever possible, because as a for-profit entity they want to make as much money as possible, not get old people healthier.

Young people have trouble fighting insurers on denials. I know this firsthand. But it’s doable, because we tend to have more energy and less cognitive impairment; I’m generalizing here, but dementia is a thing that happens to a lot of people in old age, for example.

For older people, fighting insurance companies is just about impossible. Often, this falls on their younger family members to help (ask me how I know, lol), but that implies their family or friends are willing to help. Not everyone has that.

And it shouldn’t be that way.

[0] There is a thing called Excess Charges that providers can charge, if they don’t accept the Medicare fee table, but still accept Medicare generally. They have to tell you before the service, or you are not responsible. It is also capped at 15% of the service, and is illegal in some states entirely, and capped lower in others. Some Medigap plans also cover excess charges, but they are on the more expensive end.
They do have 2.5GbE through the dream machine special edition, also anything that is an SFE port you can put in a 2.5 or 10gbit ethernet jack if you need it. I get the general impression that they just want to go straight to 10gbit and not do 2.5gbit much.
Studying the humanities puts people in debt to the tune of $100K, sometimes $250K, to get a job that pays $50K.

The problem isn't that humanities jobs are all worthless, it's that there are a very, very limited number that have enough of a value add to society to make a good living. For every successful author/artist there are 100 or 1000 struggling ones. The numbers just don't work.

Universities--especially private big-name art schools--have preyed on this lack of perspective on this asymmetry. The other commenter is right about administrative costs, but this particular scam of selling an unrealistic dream has got to stop somewhere.
