There are three parts to every code review:

1. Code style: such as formatting and when to use certain things (non-negotiable and you really should automate that).

2. Working code: does the PR have a description/ticket and does the code do what it promises to do? Can we refactor anything to make it better?

3. Conventions: does the PR have tests when necessary, are there negative and positive tests? Does it pass those tests? Is there anything against the conventions? If so, bring it up with the dev and find out why, outside of the PR. Maybe they didn't know the convention or there is some legitimate reason for it. Don't be an ass and call them out for it on the PR in front of the whole team, give them the benefit of the doubt and if someone else comes along and calls them out, you can present a united front vs. forcing them to defend themselves all alone.

In this particular case:

Suggesting a library should have been done before the code was even written. At this point, I wouldn't even suggest using it without some homework for the reviewer and look at the implementation in the library.

If the library implementation covers cases not found in the code I was reviewing, I would suggest looking at that library for some inspiration and/or switching to it. I would emphasize switching to it if it is far and away from the library code; as time could be better spent elsewhere. If the new implementation looks better than the library one, I might even suggest refactoring the entire codebase to use the new implementation instead of the library and/or spending some time to open a PR with the original library and improve it.

The work has already been done. Try to capitalize on it, instead of dismissing it.

Seriously though, look at the library implementation before moving forward. I've seen some very popular libraries and frameworks be very poorly implemented in some areas but because "it's popular" people seem to think it is better. That's not always the case.

You can call an avocado a Dollar, and someone might accept exchanging it for an actual dollar, but try to walk into a shop and pay for your beer with that. That’s what consensus is for.
Fairly clickbaity headline. Asking it to do so causes the response to terminate early with a message that says it may violate the TOS.

I don't think the actual TOS has been changed though.
Interesting!
I recently wanted to make something similar and I completely fell in love with https://www.manim.community/ created by 3B1B.
This article is timely because we just setup our new cyber Monday Samsung TV. The screen was on for about 2 seconds before I recognized the frame interpolation. We spent a good 15 minutes going through the settings to find what we thought was doing it and seeing how it looked. Hate that they turn this shit on by default.

Even worse is I’m always the one who notices it when no one else does. It’s immediately obvious to me and everyone else is going “I don’t see what you’re talking about”, drives me bonkers. And then trying to find the setting to make me happy takes too long.
Spanish media sues Meta for ignoring GDPR and harvesting data
mmap on Optane direct-access-aware (DAX) filesystems like EXT4/XFS now, is not like mmap on block devices where the OS gets in your way and pages stuff in from disk and (maybe) later syncs it back to persistent storage. Optane is the persistent storage, it's just usable/addressable as regular RAM as it's plugged in to DIMM slots.

And in the later Xeon architecture (Xeon Scalable 3rd gen, I think), intel expanded the persistence domain to CPU caches too. So, you didn't even have to bother with CLFLUSH and CLWB instructions to manually ensure that some cache lines (not 512B blocks, but 64B cache lines) get persisted. You could operate in the CPU cache and in the event of power loss, the CPU/mem controllers/and the capacitors on Optane DCPMMs ensured that the dirty cache lines got persisted to Optane before the CPU lights went off. But all this coolness a bit too late...

Another note: Intel's marketing had terrible naming for Optane stuff. Optane DCPMMs are the ones that go into DIMM slots and have all the cool features. Optane Memory SSDs (like Optane H10) are just NAND SSDs with some Optane cache in front of them. These are flash disks, installed in PCIe slots but Intel decided to call these disks "Optane Memory" ...

When we explode a nuclear bomb here how far away in the universe would it be visible or detectable?
If there were a highly developed civilization would they not be listening for this background noise to detect when a civilization had reached the nuclear point and used it for exploding a bomb?
How is the block size relevant for that? Grandma won't carry around half a terabyte of block chain, and it doesn't help that the blocks are tiny at all.

How much better is Mullvad Browser and why?
Why was everyone so obsessed with the idea of Optane as universal memory?

From a consumer perspective, it was a fast small SSD that doesn't wear out. That was enough to justify it's value at the prices it went for(Or at least it seems like it, I never personally used it). It didn't need any radical rethink of computing to be worth it.

I'm not even a fan of the nonvolatile RAM idea. Rebooting is often the first thing we do to fix stuff. Modern computing trends towards regenerating from descriptions, not adding more persistent state. Persistent state can get messed up, better to be able to wipe and start over.
Data Quality Issues and How to Solve Them
To keep you risk-safe, here are tried-and-true practices helping to deal with the most common data quality issues.
>overwhelmingly more flexible than analog.

Perhaps that's only because we haven't begun to understand analog yet. And our crude original perceptions have long suffered for being ignored. For example, I have yet to actually hear any digital music yet ... that didn't have to pass through a DtoA converter. Hell, we may even learn that braining is not really the product of individual neurons at all, but a coordinated ballet oscillating like seaweed. I'll go bigger: is consciousness analog?

If anything there needs to be more regulation in the UK, I don't understand why every year I have to go through the song and dance of calling up my ISP at the time, saying "it's too expensive I'm going to leave", and getting them to put the price down.

It seems like a lot of these companies' revenue relies on people being too lazy or ill-informed to do this so you end up paying way more than you need to be.

It literally takes two minutes on the phone sometimes.

Ultimately it's just a way to say, "well, there is simply more gravity there". I was also thinking of the "why" and I'd say because when the universe expends, or initially expended, it didn't happen homogeneously. In my opinion it's more realistic that spacetime isn't homogeneous than that it is.
It's a great tool for enhancing artificial intelligence capabilities in any chat program.
Because there are no intermediate internal registers with values that can be altered by a prompt, it's prompt in -> pass through deterministic computations with fixed trained weights -> token out. Context-dependent planning (beyond what you get from next-token prediction, which is already a lot) requires additional mutable state.
I was wondering that myself, and just this moment tested it. Interestingly, I pressed cancel on the keyring dialog instead of entering a password.. everything seems to work fine!? I can view saved passwords for wifi networks in gnome network manager, firefox passwords can be viewed in it's manager too. So what exactly does this system protect?

It seems I have either misunderstood it's functionality or it's completely broken. Is it literally only protecting the "login keyring", in which case what is the point when I can still login and seemingly do everything anyway?

In the gui "seahorse" I can view all openssh and gpg keys without having unlocked the login keyring.. very confused by this!

Quality is a good point. However there is a point to hidden camera like this and that is when combined with other views to make it look like their model doesn't know she is being filmed.
“We can steal people’s copyrighted content but we can’t let you see it for yourself.”

Outside of privacy (leaking PII), the above is likely the main reason. Someone could have invested a lump of money to scrape as much as they can and then go to town in the courts.

The terms that prohibit it are under “2. Usage Requirements” that restrict reverse engineering the underlying model structure.
It’s all about risk. If you have a simple enough system, you might be able to hide it behind an abstraction layer that adequately contains the possible effects of change.

But many interesting useful real-world systems are difficult to contain within a perfect black box. Abstractions are leaky. An API gateway, for example, cannot hide increased latency in the backend.

People accountable for technology have learned, through years of pain, not to trust changes that claim to be purely technical with no possible
impact on business functionality. Hence testing, approval and cost.
Optane suffered the same fate as every other storage technology over the decades with a similar value proposition. Broadly, the notional value of storage technology like Optane is that it offers a drop-in improvement in storage performance without requiring any software modification, albeit at a significant cost premium. The theory that this market exists in any significant way never pans out in practice.

On one hand, you have a large market of people that are not sensitive enough to storage performance for the extra cost to be worth it. Ordinary storage is perfectly adequate for their needs and they would see little benefit in transparently making the storage their software was designed for faster.

On the other side, there are people who care about storage performance a lot. So much so, that they will design and modify their software to take full advantage of the storage and system characteristics. They use the storage so well that the gains by putting something in the middle will be marginal or non-existent, and certainly not worth the extra cost —- they would gain just as much by adding more storage devices.

The effective target market always ends up being “people who care a lot about storage performance but use their storage in the most naive way possible”, which isn’t that big of a market in practice. Using good software design to achieve similar results on commodity hardware is almost always the better option.
I remember, but I couldn't see them going back to that, so to speak.

Disagree. It’s not the model outputting this message. It is a hard coded checked by open ai. It seems to very clearly be openai responding to the specific attack used by deepmind as explained by the article.

It is a TOS violation. It’s not a big one. But the weakness of the model is the story here.
You may conceptualize it as digital, as most of our modern mythology does with appearances these days. But does that really correspond with the ding-an-sich? Or, again, how much analog developent happened before our rush to commoditize everything as quickly as possible?

'Imperfect components' is a value judgement. Apparently an analog world was a necessary part of self-replicating 'mechanisms' arising while floating in the analog seas.
Austin, TX, USA

Pros:

- “silicon hills” - lots of tech jobs, second only to the Bay Area if you do embedded software or hardware.

- Chill vibe. Friendly people, low crime, thriving LBGTQ+ community

- World-class tacos, BBQ, and beer

- Lots of bars and nightlife if that’s your cup of tea

- Moderate cost of living. Not as good as 10 years ago, but still very doable, especially if you are willing to live out in the ‘burbs. Still possible to have a nice house and put your kids in good schools without being in the 1%. Unlike the Bay Area, not priced out of having a family.

- Spring and Fall. For about 6-8 months of the year, great weather.

- Lots of stuff to do in driving distance. Good outdoor hikes, boating/fishing/camping, and lots of stuff to do in Houston and Dallas.

- Good seasonal events. SXSW, ACL, F1 race, UT football

- UT is here and it’s very possible to go for a top-10-ranked engineering masters degree while you work a high-paying tech job.

Cons:

— Summer. 90 days of 100F+ weather.

- Winter. Infrastructure not set up for snow / ice, but it happens for a few days every year or two. When it does, it is exceptionally disruptive.

- Traffic. IH-35 through downtown Austin is consistently rated the most congested piece of highway in the USA. Public transport is weak, most people need to have a car.

- Police. During the Black Lives Matter protests, things broke down between the community and APD. A bunch “quiet quit” and sit in their cars playing on their phone all day. 911 has had 30 minute hold times. It’s to the point they sent in the state police to help. Expect hours to get a response for non-violent crime.

- Food. Outside of tacos, beer, BBQ, there are limited options. Somewhat mitigated by world-class food in Houston being a two hour drive away.

- Allergies. Cedar pollen turns everyone’s cars green for weeks at a time. Not fun to breathe that stuff.

- Museums, Performing Arts. Not much here. Again, somewhat mitigated by world-class options in Houston and Dallas being in day-tripping distance.

- High property taxes. TX has no state income tax, but the property tax ends up being higher than state income tax in CA in many circumstances.

All-in-all, it’s not a bad place to live.
As a former Vipassana practicioner, I bought and enjoyed the Mental Development book. Short and to the point; helped me to start meditating again after several years of hesitation or a "dead end" of sorts. The tone and style of your writing have an interesting "math-y" feel -- but it also feels very clean and somehow calm.

Same goes for the Klong book, which I bought and enjoyed thoroughly. Haven't mastered the language, though, but I'm hoping to; it definitely is really interesting, especially for a person like me who loves the build-your-own-tiny-tools-with-tiny-languages-for-your-own-use-and-prefer-low-end-computers philosophy. I'm definitely a fan of your work; your webpage and entire way of life has been an inspiration for me for years already.

If you don't mind me asking -- are you working on any upcoming books these days as well?

Fire Stick and Roku are worse for ads than what Sony ships.

To clarify, my TV shows a list of apps, and that is it, aside from a single "suggested channel" at top I cannot get rid of.

No content previews, no "watch now!" no special promos, just a list of apps.

To explain a bit more what I said up above, Sony TVs cost more than other TVs with identical specs, ~$200-$300 USD more, but compared to a mid-range LG or Samsung, Sony opts you out of advertising by default (the initial setup is hilarious, for the most part you'd have to manually select a bunch of checkboxes to opt into tracking!).
Even if the deck shuffling is deterministically irrelevant?
Firstly, how would someone know what the "best possible answer" is for something that is designed to answer all questions?

Secondly when you provide this additional prompt context you are giving the model more to work with including just more information about how you are going to assess the responses. It stands to reason this should give a "better" answer in the sense that it should be able to use that information to give an answer closer to what you are hoping for and it doesn't have to read your mind about what that might be.

This is no different from how humans work. For example when you take say a trig exam the question doesn't just say "evaluate tan(3pi/8)" it says something like "Give an exact value for tan(3pi/8) without using a calculator. Simplify where possible and rationalise any denominators but do not remove common factors. Show your working. " The examiner is saying they want to see you know how use the right half angle trig identities etc not just that they can't find their calculator and need you to type something in for them. If they just gave the question in the first form you wouldn't know.

Small nitpick on choice of words here - homogenous probably isn't the right word to use, instead the correct term is probably invariant.

The universe appears homogenous at various scales, meaning it's self-same within some amount of tolerance across itself. The distribution is homogenous. That's different from invariance, the assumption that a variable (in this case an intrinsic property such as mass) remains unchanged over time for a given subject of study, such as a particle.

Even if a given property can vary from subject to subject (even wildly), the sum of all subjects could still appear homogeneous in their distribution.

>why do we assume spacetime to be homogenous in its nature?

Because it's distribution appears to be consistent, at least as far as we can measure. That's not the same thing as objects at the quantum scale being invariant (or variable) in some way that we currently think is the opposite.

>Couldn't then dark matter be explained by some variations on a large scale? Like giant "wrinkles" in spacetime?

Considering the scales at which these fluctuations would have to occur for us to have not already measured them I'm doubtful they could build up to anything like that, even in aggregate and random patterns.

>They would then behave as pseudo black holes, or more like "black trenches", that lead to the structures we see today in the universe. The structures seem to have more mass than what we can actually see, but are in fact just placed in locations that behave differently gravity wise?

I don't think I'm really qualified to answer on how possible this interpretation is, but with the confirmation of gravitational waves a few years back we confirmed another piece of Einstein's theories and seem to have a good grasp on the observational effects of gravity at least. There was a recent announcement about mapping of the Gravitational Wave Background [0] using pulsars spread across the galaxy that was super cool too you might be interested in that I would say is related to this question.

The real answer is that theories like this require quite a bit of work to manipulate existing and complex math, and that you'd need someone who can translate an idea like yours into a mathematical model that fits with our observational data. That's an exceedingly difficult thing to do, as evidenced by the last 70ish years of physics.

>Or does it mean that those who already suffer from asthma are more likely to have attacks in the afternoon?

The latter: https://hms.harvard.edu/news/circadian-rhythm-asthma

>For the fever part, I haven't noticed such a pattern for myself. Does it mean that fevers are more likely to occur in the afternoon, or does it mean that a normal human's daily temperature pattern resembles a fever in the afternoon?

Apparently the first: https://westjem.com/articles/fever-incidence-is-much-lower-i...

But it's also true our daily temperature pattern changes throughout the day following a circadian rhythm (though I wouldn't call it rising that it "resembles a fever").
That is true, but OTOH I maintain that - in absolute terms - there are more difficult problems that people are struggling to solve using computers today than there were in 1970.
