One of the conceits people forget about git is that it really is meant for text only.

I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes git LFS, but only because I admit all it's short comings. But it is working really well for my game dev project. Not what I use to manage my asset library though. It is what I use to sync the most up to date binary files, which is really the use case it is maintained for anyway (think syncing build artifacts or large data sets).
Yes, almost constantly.

I think we can go one step beyond. It would probably help for ChatGPT to generate list of alternative use cases besides the customer support one, so that ChatGPT can generate tutorials or white papers focusing on how companies can integrate ChatGPT into their additional workflows.
It's trivial to decentralize any given process with which you're involved, if you care to.

The fact that the overwhelming majority of users prefer central workflows isn't a bad thing about Git.
Perfect, thanks.

Don't suppose if you know if the conversion is easily reversible? Some of these models are big, it sucks to carry around the original plus the gguf, but I would hate to be in a situation where the gguf represents a dead end.
>I had an epiphany and realized that it was more like working an unpaid part-time job

I've had the reverse epiphany: That if I view aspects of my real life that seem difficult to make progress on as being more like a computer game, I can increase my motivation to tackle them.

> versus saving binary project files where diffs/merges make little sense and can corrupt the output

Diffs and merges with binary files can work just fine. Look at rsync as an example. The problem is that it can take... too... much... time. Text is easy to diff because we can simplify the problem down to lines separated by `[\r]\n`. Being able to split a large text file into individual lines to delta is a much easier problem.

Binary data is much more difficult. So the problem isn't corrupting an output file, but just how much time it can take to figure out the most efficient way to delta a file. Because of this time limit, it makes the workflow of revision control too unwieldy.

It’s also not possible to write a non-trivial program in Rust.
I do not think Approach 2 is sound. It proposes specialization of a template without needing to recompile the library source, implying that the specialization will be done only in a separate translation unit.

The standard §13.9.4 says:

> If a template [...] is explicitly specialized, a declaration of that specialization shall be reachable from every use of that specialization that would cause an implicit instantiation to take place

What's going to happen in practice is the compiler will instantiate and inline the unspecialized template in the library, and the program will silently not use the mock time. Or not, it's entirely unconstrained.
> For example, the technology sometimes matched customers with people who had originally been enrolled in the database based on activity thousands of miles away, or flagged the same person at dozens of different stores all across the United States, according to the complaint.

So it's not that the data was wrong, just not properly scoped to stores in a given city/region? Or was it misidentifying people because they looked like someone in the database?
and this is why devices like this need biometrics not/and passwords
If the topic enthuses me, >12 hours. If it doesn't, 2 + long break + 2 is a max.

Advice 1: validate your assumptions. You seem to imply that maximising work hours maximises productivity. It could well be that you are above-average productive to start with, so you get more work done in a shorter amount of time. If that's the case, maybe you hit a limit that isn't mean to be passed.

Advice 2: validate your baseline. Are you in good shape and health? How does your productivity compare to peers? Are you working on harder topics than your peers? Is your work environment distraction-free? Is there something (health, personal life, financials etc) bothering you?

Advice 3: validate your motivation. Are you enthusiastic about the topic? If not, balance that against your goals and if you still think you need to do it, trick yourself into finding the work motivating [1].

Advice 4: experiment with different modes. I didn't know about the pomodoro technique before. After a short read, I don't think I would enjoy working like that. Breaking every half hour kills my flow, and 5 minute breaks are too short to get anything done.

> no one seems to have any idea where free will would come from

No materialists have any idea perhaps. A more common sense approach is to deduce from our common experience of free will (and consciousness too) and lack of a matter based reason for that experience that we are not merely made of matter.
Randomness doesn't imply free will. I was responding to the last paragraph of GGP's comment.

I’m surprised people preferred watching the plane movie over whatever they had saved on Netflix on their phone.
It depends, big surprise. Do you find that you’re aligned with what you’re doing? See the big picture, long term, the big why? Deep thought is expensive, and time is scarce, psychological alignment is necessary to break through the barrier so to speak. I know because I procrastinate difficult problems and think more about the why to even get started. Then once you’ve gotten started, in the right zone, you milk it to the extreme, not changing context or even getting up from the chair for the day. Do you work out of curiosity, beauty, or some sort of ambition or the next paycheck? Look cool? I’m only grilling myself here because lowly motivations are frequent for me personally and being honest can lead you to ask the right question to just get back on the track / right train of thought.

Personal minute example, I want to look competent while presenting the solution -> what does the good solution look like? Hook your feelings into helping you solve the problem. Larger example: I want to become a researcher -> Reading the next page is the best thing I can do right now toward that. So with a why you can keep going and activate your mind to stay on track despite low energy.

What’s going on in your mind when you’re spent? Where do your thoughts go? This is for you to answer personally because it’s not anyones business. But usually you can redirect that energy even though it’s a lack of energy so to speak.

Maybe if you’re spent on hard coding, think about eventual applications, or software architecture. Think of the organization and the problems that can be solved with software. About the history, future, of coding. There are a lot of tangential thoughts that are still helpful to explore once you lack steam on the main path so to speak, and the exploratory low energy mode can lead you back to high energy or supplement the next high energy session with creative angles that would not be come across in a more alert state, like those fever dreams that are so vivid that your alert mind would never come up with them.

NFS has -o sec=krb5p which uses Kerberos principles, which can be mapped to accounts server side. Additionally, the the traffic is encrypted.

OpenAFS also uses kerberos for auth, but has a separate 'aklog' for AFS tokens on top of that. It also solved permissions in an interesting way by completely foregoing OS permissions. This allowed them to have more fine grained than POSIX specified and made the permissions identical across platforms.
I’m not saying Wayland is perfect as-is or accessibility shouldn’t be fixed. That’s a total straw man.

Every post that even touches on Wayland in the smallest way gets flooded with “Wayland sux, just keep developing Xorg” posts.

Xorg is not getting useful/meaningful/future focused development. The fact new commits exist doesn’t mean it’s a healthy alternative.

I just happened to see this post yesterday and thought it was a pretty good summary, if pithy, about the state of X vs Wayland. I don’t blame them for being mad about people continuing to beat this horse.

It must feel a bit like if people continuing to demand that we give up on electric cars and go back to developing leaded gas.
If you mentioned china, then we should look at China’s massive building of housing there for inspiration? They have none of the restrictions you say is keeping us back, but because housing is a speculative asset (and the only generic one of value given a untrusted stock market), prices still go up, people cant get places to rent in Beijing or Shanghai, one bedroom apartments going for $1 million, etc… of course, the issue is the speculation, not the lack of supply.

We already rely on market forces to ensure that everyone doesn’t just move to one of a few popular cities. We don’t just need more housing, we need them specifically in Seattle, SF, LA, Denver, Manhattan places where people want to live. I still don’t see how SF achieving Manhattan density would cause its prices not to be Manhattan comparable. Something else is going on with increased supply having the ability to induce even more demand.

Overbuilding is also a danger. Berlin had excess capacity of housing and work space for a couple of decades before demand could fill it. Just because there is demand today doesn’t mean there will be demand when your project is finished, eg interest rate increases can put a damper on speculative demand. A Japanese style mega property crash is something no one wants to deal with.
I think you would like ‘Determined’ by Robert Sapolsky (mentioned in the article), an endocrine neurobiologist and ethologist. He talks about predeterminism from a biological point of view, as well as implications on responsibility and justice systems in the absence of free will.
It can absolutely make sense to "train" with passengers on board.

Automation complacency or simply being out of practice can have significant repercussions in emergencies.

Consider a task where humans have a marginally higher error rate than the autopilot. Obviously, per task, the safe thing to do is to let the autopilot fly.

But now consider a more difficult scenario where the autopilot just bails out, e.g. due to ILS being inoperable, wind shear, any kind of non-permissible sensor discrepancy on board etc. – how would you like be on a plane flown by a pilot that has never done a manual landing in the past few months or even years due to company policy?

Of course, a night approach at a foreign airport might not be the best opportunity to practice a manual landing (and it looks like the planned arrival time was during daylight hours!), but as a general policy, allowing some manual flying seems like a very good safety practice, at least until autopilots can fly and land in 100% of all scenarios.
Great explanation.

> Saying that Pierre Poilievre isn't the CPC front runner

Poilievre îs already the leader of the CPC. It would be quite odd to call him the front runner there when there is currently no race being run.

And there is never a race for the Prime Minister's position. If that was what "front runner" was in reference to, that would be nonsensical.

The only race Poilievre is likely to run any time soon, at least within the context of political races, is for the MP's position in the Carleton riding. I expect he really is bound to be the front runner there, but unless you live in said riding, he is of no relevance.
Yes, there is something special about cars. Design mistakes result in death. It's not a race to get the most features out, it's a race to get the most features into proven, quality-assured, heavily-tested products. The software development mindset of "we'll fix it later", or "get the MVP out ASAP" has NO place.

I probably should sit down and write a comprehensive blog post about it sometime instead of dropping pieces of it in HN comments.

> So, I build a table (call it "transactions"?) that contains all of these, without repeating any of the similar fields.

That's still kinda just re-categorizing things. It's more like: identify the groups of fields that PurchaseOrders and SalesOrders have in common, and make that group a table (or possibly more than one).

> How easy is this design to work with and reason about? I'd be worried that makes said analysts dependent on the db architect to construct their queries for them, which isn't a situation I'd prefer. Is that, in practice, not a concern?

It's much easier to work with and reason about long-term for software developers, in my opinion. It's much harder to work directly in the database, which is a deal-breaker for some. Analysts are not constructing their own queries without help from a lot of views; but you have more opportunity to custom-tailor those views to their specific needs. Frankly, I don't think business analysts should be directly hitting the database -- it is a persistence layer, not an application layer. It'd be like demanding that analysts can specific memory addresses -- it's just the wrong layer of abstraction for them. "Canonical" functionality is added piecemeal in layers by various domain "library"-like layers. Analysis can pick the libraries that they need (more likely, devs set this up for them).

> I'd fear it comes at the cost of monster queries which align poorly with business logic.

Yes, queries are bigger and include more JOINs, but they are more aligned with the business logic, not less. I've done it with table sizes on the order of 100 million records (SQL Server), and it's just fine, but I haven't gotten into the real "big data" sizes. Databases are very good at joins with proper indexes nowadays. If you're in "big data" size, I don't see a reason why table-per-noun is any better of a starting point for Apache Spark or whatever you're doing.

> Which of those real-world concerns am I over-valuing?

In my opinion, you are over-valuing direct access to the database tables with no business logic applied on top at the application layer. That's what the application layer is for.
ooo thanks. Too late to edit now but appreciate it! Not a pilot currently; just very interested and will probably get one in my lifetime.

> "if you're lonely, anxious, or depressed, it's because the world has become increasingly fragmented" - https://youtu.be/RXiLAn3vUKg?feature=shared

IMHO this video was hard to watch.

There is no "loneliness epidemic" [1] *, and blaming every listener's anxiety+depression on X (the oldest snake oil tactic), where X is YouTube's personalization algorithm, is cringeworthy. The rest of this video was full of loose correlations. It reminded me of watching the "pizza gate" conspiracy video.

[1] https://ourworldindata.org/loneliness-epidemic

* Or rather, there was none before 2020. Obviously, in 2020+, the COVID quarantine was a massive drive of loneliness poll results, and we must assume that effect might still linger a few years later. The only way to rule this out is to look at pre-2020 polls.
No, unfortunately the framework itself is not public.
Because it states, "patent or other intellectual property right" for Tesla, but only "patent right" for everybody else. If you are really "opening" your patents or intellectual property then you would just have a symmetric agreement like patents for both, or intellectual property for both. You would not have a ridiculously asymmetric agreement that legalizes your usage of industrial espionage or counterfeiting.

For that matter, the pledge is transitive, but only uniquely privileges Tesla intellectual property rights:

"(i) any patent or other intellectual property right against Tesla"

"(ii) any patent right against a third party for its use of technologies relating to electric vehicles or related equipment"

See how they clearly highlight different rights. The second term is a symmetric patent pledge, everybody equally agrees to not sue each other or others over patents. But the first term says Tesla is more equal than others and you can not sue them for anything even if they steal your trade secrets or literally make counterfeits of your products.
It's specifically 5 years, but it does _feel_ like 20.
Missing from both the cited news item and the discussion is:

As an engineer, you are required to maintain a duty of care that overrides employer/client relationships. As in, even if the boss says "seal it" on an inadequate bridge design, you are legally required to refuse. Key thing is, that seal is required, so (at least in theory) the boss is stuck, since nobody else with a seal will seal it either.

Now stuff happens, ultimately the penalty is dismissal from the ranks of the PEng (and likely civil lawsuits), but an engineering license is a matter of entrusting the recipient to create a cost effective solution that does not compromise the safety of third parties.

In economic language, this 'internalizes' the cost of failing to build things that will be safe to third parties (eg., the users of the bridge).

As near as I can tell, the individual never had that accreditation, so the issue isn't about 'paying tribute', it's about false advertising.
In the short term yes. The church accepted Galileo's heliocentric theory at first because it helped fix their calendars, later they realized what it truly meant as the general public started connecting the dots.

> Indeed, GIMP did much the same thing. They messed up a few things (like color models), which continue to haunt it (even the ones which were retroactively fit back in), but it's not any more work to do it right. If they had, it'd be very competitive with Photoshop today.

Ask any designer and they’ll laugh at you for bringing up in Gimp compared to Photoshop. Photoshop is 10x better. It’s easy to say it’s easy to make Photoshop, but they didn’t. It’s like a poor person saying it’s easy to be a millionaire if they wanted to.

My local Rite Aid here in Marin County CA put this in some years ago. As soon as I noticed it, I yelled at the manager and told him neither I nor anyone in my family would be coming in there again. I also edited OSM.org to show the facial recognition cameras in the store. Sadly, I think I am a minority who resists this stuff. If more people would do the same, they would have stopped it. Don't be afraid to tell stores what you think. If it affects their business, they will change.
No more cheap Russian energy. In place, expensive nordic and American energy. It is basically active self-sabotaging by European leaders. Not only heat pumps, a lot of businesses bankrupt. You can ask any Germans friends how bad German economy is and next couple of years. Some even wish to move to Indonesia or Eastern Asia side to look for jobs. Heat pump sale is just minuscule to all other collapsing sales there. Meanwhile the business contacts I know in Moscow and Petersburg having historic bonuses and pay increases. Meanwhile, UK and German tax payers still facing new taxes and subsidies cuts as I type this. Look on the bright side, look for military complex jobs. I see they are hiring.
