Have you considered object pools? Getting objects into an older generation will eliminate their impact on regular collections. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.exten...

You want to be intentional about how long objects hang about. In C# game dev it starts becoming an architectural concern.

That being said, allocation problems aren't unique to managed languages. You'll definitely see at least one pool somewhere in a large-scale C++ game. It's always costly.

You could use SSE, long polling, or even a webhook. With the latter two you'd miss out on some of the performance gains of not needing to re-establish a connection unless the producer does http streaming, but the main stability points are not using webhooks as the sole means of delivery and not flushing events after they're delivered. So many webhook implementations don't go far enough and just fling events at the consumer with a short-term retry policy, or none at all, and then don't provide a way to see what events got missed.
>the Android messages web app always had a hard time connecting to my phone even when the phone was clearly on, had the messages app open, and was connected to same wifi as my computer; and second, Chrome recently just started becoming unopenable (like it would open and then immediately close for some reason).

Those are definitely annoying and off putting. On my pixel 5 chrome always worked well (but I use other browsers), and messages app was trouble free...

Wonder if it was a problem with that model of phone you had.

If you have ideas, I encourage you to write a blog post and submit it to HN.

Somewhere I got the notion that the UN is generally considered to be dysfunctional these days, and that's part of the reason there's been a shift in diplomacy to other venues like the G20. Representativeness is important, but it's just one of several important desiderata in AI governance.

It seems to me that the current important decisions facing OpenAI are for the most part fairly technical, so it's good for their oversight to be technical. Representativeness becomes more important later. I'd say if OpenAI actually does succeed in developing AGI, that's the point at which the board should be replacing itself with some other, more representative institution.

>Of course the race is on and the first party to cross the threshold will get the gold and never mind the consequences so I expect any attempt at oversight to be murdered the second they have it working.

Maybe a good question from a governance perspective would be, how can we configure the institutional incentives to discourage this, or at least select for leaders with strong character and ethics who won't ruthlessly seek power at all costs?

I've been criticizing Sam Altman a fair amount lately, but it sounds like you take it much farther in essentially viewing him as some sort of crime boss, or else you're assuming that anyone with significant power will automatically adopt crime boss ethics as a result. I doubt the latter statement is true -- for example, I don't believe that Obama adopted crime boss ethics when he became POTUS.
He might have been the one to build the relationship but this hardly gives him “power.” He did a sales job basically. Sales people get replaced all the time.
American cities are built to benefit the people who pay for them. They don’t revamp things to benefit the poors.

>"She's the leading academic on the issue of AI safety."

From article, this is what I know about her:

>"Toner graduated from the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2014 with a degree in chemical engineering and subsequently worked as a research analyst at a series of firms, including Open Philanthropy, a foundation that makes grants based on the effective-altruism philosophy."

>"In 2019, she spent nine months in Beijing studying its AI ecosystem. When she returned, Toner helped establish a research organization at Georgetown University, called the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, where she continues to work."

She's been working in the field of AI safety for what 3 years at most? I find it very hard to believe that she's "thee" leading academic on the issue of safety. Stuart Russell's group, the Center for Human Compatible AI at UC Berkeley, MIT's The Algorithmic Alignment Group and David Kruegger's group at Cambridge are all academic leaders and groups with great expertise in this subdomain.

Further it's not even clear what "studying Beijing's AI ecosystem" actually means. Does this refer to the city? The university? The CCPs' surveillance state(not likely)? It's very hand wavy.

I don't have any problem with what she did or her views. I also think it's a loss for the company. I do question her bona fides for being called the leading academic on the issue though.
For companies this is the way. But I guess for personal use a private Keycloak instance is a bit overkill?
Yes but state of your body/skin (R) and current (I) is what matters with regard to 60 volts being really dangerous (also the current path as the article below states).

60 volts is nothing UNLESS you are completely wet or sweaty.

"It is estimated at 150 ohms for completely wet skin (in water), 1000 ohms for sweaty skin, and 100,000 ohms to 500,000 ohms for dry skin."

Assuming a worst-case scenario with dry skin providing a resistance of 100,000 ohms, fatality becomes a possibility if the current exceeds 50 mAmp.

Therefore, the lethal voltage would be above 0.05 (50 mAmp)×100,000=5000 Volts. [1]

So if you are wet or sweaty, it could be 7.5V to 50V that gets dangerous.

So it makes sense why 60 volts is a safety threshold, especially for those that live in Florida or Arizona.

I feel if the product is valuable enough and solves a real pain point, even if the backing company dies, an alternative will take its place.

I have also seen models where the source is made available just before that happens. For eg: https://www.placemark.io/post/placemark-is-winding-down
This seems like a scam...

The author claims that the FDA set impossible standards for getting this approved when it was originally discovered and that those same standards prevent them from seeking FDA approval now....but further down acknowledges that probiotics like this product are actually subject to much more lenient standards.
The FDA is often bad: https://jakeseliger.com/2023/07/22/i-am-dying-of-squamous-ce....

It is good at "protecting" people from things that might help them. Like many others, I'm being protected from treatments that might harm me, so the cancer I've got can kill me instead.
> I am curios about how Microsoft Research team interpreted OpenAI's policy and obtained approval to release competitive models.

Microsoft has separate, privately-contracted, full access to OpenAI models, so the public ToU doesn't apply to Microsoft at all.

(There is a two-party mechanism to get around such terms, since they aren't viral and don't attach to product made with the model: if you are a user subject to the terms of use, you create and distribute a dataset, but don't use it for training a model. Then someone who wants to train a model but who has not subjected themselves to the ToU for the upstream model uses the dataset for training.)
Modern heat pumps are able to work at much colder temperatures than that.

I understand your bill went up because the backup electric heating was kicking in.

I don't understand why in 2022 it would even be an option to get a heat pump installed that only works down to 25°F. That's super outdated tech.

How is it not faked? This is the equivalent of that Nikola demo of their electric car, where they set it up to roll down a hill so that it looked like it was working.

The Google video demo is hugely faked, to the point of being smoke & mirrors.

The inputs to the AI are still frames, not video.

The input images are different to the video frames, often substantially different.

The prompts were provided as text, not audio as shown.

Both the prompts and responses are significantly longer.

The latency is much higher than shown, which appears to be near real-time.

Etc...

The demo they showed would be a mindblowing improvement in LLM technology and applicability to use-cases such as controlling a home robot.

Instead, we were shown what is essentially a short science fiction movie "inspired" by possible future capabilities, not current capabilities.

Google literally said so: "The video illustrates what the multimodal user experiences built with Gemini could look like. We made it to inspire developers."

PS: Their other benchmark results are also highly suspect, because there is a high chance that Gemini trained on the exam question-answer pairs inadvertently. They even admit this in several places, such as in their technical paper. So... they knew the results are bogus and published it anyway!
You certainly don't need a full on Keycloak installation here, if you don't want to go that far. There's various OIDC providers, some more complex than others!
Please go take a look at Rust and/or Swift to see how nice a language without null feels like.

Its like this with a lot of industries. E.g. Meta is probably interested in social media “safety” to the extend it moats them legal protections and allows them to define the regulatory environment they operate within through lobbying. Likewise for automakers or any other business with a chance for harm.

It is called Structured Query Language, it allows for complex logic that can be processed close to the data to speed up operations and reduce complexity and increase reliability of client applications.
Sure, if you require Google scale of connectivity, it might not work but 99.9999% of people do not and their applications would be simpler, cleaner, more performant and more reliable if they learned and used their database correctly instead of re-implementing all that functionality (but badly) in their application layer.
E2EE certainly is not the "bare minimum", TLS is. Maybe encryption at rest, but even that's debatable.
Examining which part of the supply chain put their prices up seems pointless unless it sheds light on why that part of the supply chain in particular could put their prices up.

Excellent synopsis.

Price discovery is not perfect and not instantaneous. It often overshoots in both directions (see stock prices). And as you said, there is a constant upward pressure on prices as a part of profit seeking. It’s the downward pressure of competition and other factors that keeps it in check.

Inflation disrupts this equilibrium. It's not only profit that drives price increases, but also cost of goods, which can vary frequently.

There is a strategy in pricing as well - sometimes it makes sense to take a 10% price increase if cost of goods sold has increased 5% and is expected to increase another 5% in the near future, rather than take two separate price increases. Factors like that can cause an overcorrection which takes times to reverse if costs don't go up as expected.

The cause of the disruption is where the focus should be.
The Ars article mentions people losing things in Sheets where they didn't have a Windows client at all, though. Of course, we have inadequate intimation to determine if it's the same issue.
All I suggested was that they were very quick to demand that people be forcibly ejected based on insufficient information.

I'd rather see the restaurant try to solve a problem than arbitrarily punish people, especially when "people" might include myself under the wrong circumstances. But I guess no one likes to hear nuance.

If you already have LDAP or some other backing auth, setting up Dex for OIDC is pretty easy. Took me less than an hour or so.

If you want something fancier Authelia isn't too bad, I got that running in an evening and hooking it up to Tailscale took another hour or two. Most of that spent figuring out how I want to do webfinger.
No, the argument is, "It's not cheating because it wasn't a programming assignment."
I much prefer languages without Null (Rust being a personal favorite). I'll speak to that because I have a bit of experience with both C# w/ Nullable and Rust.

In Rust, you express types using the Option syntax. Its basically saying "This value could be None". It behaves similarly to nulls, but instead of Option being implicit (like C# nulls) its explicit. You can't do `let foo: String = None` because its an invalid type assertion. Whereas you can do `let foo: Option<String> = None`. In C#, you can't express "This is a string that cannot be null" (even with nullables if I recall correctly).

I know plenty of people who only use sql. There is now a role called analytics engineer that primarily sql and often with transformation tools like dbt.

I personally haven’t met a lot of software devs who would call their data modeling capabilities ‘good enough’. It is a different way of thinking to go from building 3rd form normalized tables to denormalizing everything. Plus if a company is merging data from many systems, it makes it more complicated for the software developer.
Any particularly useful takeaways?

I used to read a book about complex systems. The book told a story that a town decided to build speed bumps to slow down traffic in its downtown area. As a results, there are more cars on the road and more noise. I guess the reality is more complex the what the book covers.
The human using photoshop is providing the creativity, and thus the human using photoshop owns the copyright, if they do sufficiently creative work (like actually drawing).

However, when using the current image gen AIs, the input you provide is a sentence of text and a couple parameters, a minimal amount of creativity.

This would be akin to opening photoshop and doing minimal work, such as choosing "resize image, apply blur filter".

If you open photoshop and do a few rote transformations, you indeed have not imbued enough creativity to create a new copyrighted work, the work retains its original copyright if you just open it in photoshop and resize it.

Eel is just providing the shock not the DNA. There is an advantage on the otherhand for species to be susceptible to this sort of horizontal gene transfer. E.g. bacteria populations will uptake environmental dna like this on the offchance they take up something beneficial (usually from other bacteria populations in the area that might have genes giving an advantage in that environment).
The alternative is to just be authentic and not put up a fake show.

Elon seems to have felt untouchable for a long time. There is a limit to how much people will overlook in the pursuit of money but let's be real here - Disney is trying to portray itself as a family company. Basically anything that happens on Twitter at this point is pretty much not family friendly. Elon being Elon might have given Disney an easy excuse to back out of ad buys on a platform they don't see a large enough target market using.
That comparison is irrelevant because words have meaning based on the context they’re used in.

English, being a very complex language, can have the same sentence mean multiple things as well depending on how you interpret the context. There may be better ways to phrase something to remove ambiguity, but the title as presented could be read both ways.
I assume you mean the decline in the use of the term AJAX as it was now just the standard and you don’t need to use that to describe your site or tool as being capable of being highly interactive and dynamic vs just static.

Before the invention of the xmlhttprequest there was so little you could do with JS most dynamic content was some version of shifty tricks with iframes or img tags or anything that could trigger the browser to make a server request to a url that you could generate dynamically.

Fetch was the formalization of the xmlhttprequest (hence the use of xhr as the name of the request type ). Jquery wrapped it really nicely and essentially popularized (they may have invented async js leveraging callbacks and the like), the creation of promises was basically the formalization and standardization of this.

So AJAX itself is in fact used almost in the entire totality of the web, the term has become irrelevant given the absolute domination of the technology.
No. Nobody is putting in a 12v to 400v dc to dc converter. There would be no point. I haven’t done the math but I’d be surprised if you got more than a couple miles out of it. If your high voltage battery is completely dead, you’re calling a tow truck.
Well yeah, because they have no choice? Like what kind of counter argument is this?

GOS is reliant on work upstream like most products and projects are, it's why they stop supporting phones once the SoC and it's associate blob code fall out of support of the manufacturer. Fairphone doesn't do this, they keep pumping out new versions filled with unpatched vulnerabilities while pretending the software they're producing for the hardware they're supporting is up to date when it actually isn't. It's not a weak point, it borders on fraud.

It's very weird to type it out, as we only use it when we speak. At least, when I type, I tend to think in one language, so there's less organic mixing happening. Since it's speaking-only thing for me, I tend to add the usual filler words, suffixes for superlative forms and etc., but from all three languages. Apologies for using French/English, as that didn't convey my point properly.

It's not about loan words, it's exactly just mixing random languages together as they roll off your tongue. I know it sounds stupid, but I've been talking to my siblings that way my entire life, so it's very "natural" to me. Most of my university friends are at least bilingual as well, and from what I've been told, they do the same with their friends in their own languages.
