This twists a problem to make the solution fit.

Nobody would store "Foo 1 a" as name of the deepest item, they would want to build the name dynamically based on the concatenation of the parents "Foo" and "1", in which case the system doesn't work at all.

Otherwise, most operations on the structure are impossible to perform (a simple rename in the middle of a branch).

Disingenuous article.
I believed that you had to be amazing at science and maths or have a computer science degree. I had neither of those things going for me, but I still found it was possible to learn to code.
It definitely helps if you are mathematically minded, but it isn’t essential for you to succeed. Some of the best developers I have met on my journey so far have come from a non-traditional or self-taught background. If you have an interest and are committed to learning, anything is possible.

This is one of the things I love about programming. You can bootstrap and are not gated by formal qualifications.
> Instead of modifying spacetime, the theory – dubbed a “postquantum theory of classical gravity” – modifies quantum theory and predicts an intrinsic breakdown in predictability that is mediated by spacetime itself. This results in random and violent fluctuations in spacetime that are larger than envisaged under quantum theory, rendering the apparent weight of objects unpredictable if measured precisely enough.

I have so many questions about this paragraph; how did they change quantum theory? Are they saying that breakdown in predictability at the quantum level is actually caused by space-time? Why does this result in violent fluctuations in space-time? And why are the space-time fluctuations larger than in the case of quantum gravity?

Never seems too strong here. In 2000 years when it has been maybe 1500 years since a human turned a steering wheel I can see a situation where an individual owns a self driving car like thing.

Even well before some such future, the type of people who buy Bugatti Veyron will still want to buy something unique and out of reach of the 99.99% of the population. Maybe that is human driven but what if human driven becomes illegal?
Look into Quantum foam and Casimir force. In simple terms it’s basically the physical manifestation of the uncertainty of position and energy of all matter within the universe.
I believe they should be able to, to the degree that their output can constitute copyright infringement. Obviously, the fewer sources from the training data a given output matches, and the longer the match, the more relevant it is, and the easier it should be. I believe it should be feasible exactly because of that correlation. The examples you present are largely irrelevant to the problem, because they are largely irrelevant to the citing of sources for copyright reasons.
According to quantum mechanics there is plenty of true randomness around. If you get an electron or ion and pass it through a Stern-Gerlach apparatus [1] or a photon and pass it through a polarising beam splitter. Then in each case you can set it up so you get the thing going in 1 off two directions with 50:50 probability.

Astute and accurate observation. This is one of the reasons I strongly support unions (or a law that enforces a 2 months notice periods on the employer, no probation allowed).

Alternatively, interviews longer than 3 hours are no longer allowed so that people may switch jobs asap.

If we want flexible capitalism, we need to ensure that labor gets it's fair protections, just like corporations do.

I agree that high-quality datasets, usually proprietary, are key to good model performance. Microsoft's Phi-2 model for example is punching way above its weight thanks to being fed high-quality textbooks and encyclopedias. But that's not a total showstopper. To use those, deals can be arranged since many textbooks come from just a few publishing houses. Heavyweights like Microsoft can do that. And a comparatively small model might actually be less likely to reproduce content versatim even if prompted.

I am more curious whether researchers and private persons will be permitted to continue uploading models on Huggingface.
This is fantastic. Wish I knew this existed before. Already spotted a few alternatives for things that are keeping me on a dual boot.

On tagging, do you mean that you would want to define a list of allowed tags that the AI can select from?
Surely one answer is to train (or aggressively fine-tune) a new model that doesn’t (or refuses) to produce these outputs and then - as exists already, augment that model’s understanding of copyrighted material by having it Bing/Google search as a RAG process that requires the end user to log into accounts at the New York Times (and other accounts) with their paid sub. This broadly replicates the process a person could do today when they read the internet and summarize it while paying rights holders.

Expensive to do but hardly the end of Generative AI or OpenAI should that be the difference between having a business or being sued out of existence. Never underestimate people who have a clear economic interest especially when their own existence is at stake.
If you could pipe the ripgrep output into an editor, make changes, and have them applied, that would be great. Once you get all the text you want to change in one buffer, it should be easy to make repetitive changes quickly in your editor of choice.
Did you read my post at all?
I’d say it’s curious it happened at all. As others have mentioned Apple doesn’t allow emulators at all in their store, perhaps they are afraid of losing too much of the market after EU forces them to allow side-loading?

EDIT: I just checked the App Store listing for this app - I find it pretty hilarious (and for more than one reason) that it’s listed in the Adventure category which has a pirate flag for an icon.
No it still works, because in that case all the LLM is doing is making an API call based on the same token prediction, and passing on the result. It still doesn't "know" anything about anything.
I find it interesting that the top results are recent topics. In most cases, they appear to be folks getting context for news or other timely events, or something else they saw or heard about in the media.

Yes long tail yadda yadda, but it's an interesting reflection of what we want to learn about or reference: actors, singers, recent movies, and every once in a while, something else.

(Edit: fixed ambiguious wording)
To put it in context, the current price of electricity from Octopus on a new contract is about 30p/kWh. These high prices are a historical anomaly due to the high price of gas in Europe, but still, I think it's relevant context.

I imagine this price is not strictly comparable to the one quoted in the article since it includes various additional factors such as tax, network costs etc

It's still copyright violation. Sue them. Being generated by AI doesn't make the final output not copywritten.

The interesting question is whether the models themselves are copyright violations not the output.
Man, that's great that state of the art has advanced to the point where models can be trained on just a few copyrighted sources.
You're most welcome! Yea, I know _exactly_ how you feel. This is why I had my last Win7 partition for so long, but now it's gone as there all I really need is available on Linux. Bitwig + u-he, what more do you really need ;)
Gravity can and must "take this into account" somehow. The problem is we don't really have a working theory of gravity which does this.

There are a bunch of proposals, including this one but none of them are really complete or fully satisfying right now.
I am an author of four nonfiction books, so I have a definite stake in this. Take that for what it's worth.

For each of my books, I had to invest a substantial amount of time to do research, plus the writing and editing itself, plus everything else that goes into having a book published with a traditional publisher.

For instance:

* Experimenting With Babies (Oct 2013): 34,200 words. 208 pages. 82 works cited in references.

* Correlated (July 2014): 29,800 words. 210 pages. 1,123 lines of code across several programming languages to parse all of the data.

* Experiments for Newlyweds (April 2019): 43,200 words. 276 pages. 95 works cited in references.

* Experimenting With Kids (May 2020): 48,300 words. 272 pages. 86 works cited in references.

I could not have written any of these books without the ability to get paid for that work. And my publisher could not have paid me for that work without the ability to sell that work with exclusivity for some period of time. Otherwise, any other publisher could undercut them and profit off of work they didn't produce or pay for.

So although I understand the "information should be free" argument, we have to grapple with the fact that information is not free to produce, and it likely WILL NOT be produced if the people who would produce it decide not to because they need to devote their time to other activities that DO produce income. In a world without copyright, many of the creative works we currently enjoy simply would not exist.

That said, I think the current length of copyright in the US is obscenely long. If we were to make it much shorter (say 50 years total) I don't think it would have any effect on 99.9% of copyright holders.
> The idea that “suffering is suffering” is almost sociopathic.

I'm somewhat troubled by this line of thinking. Some people suffer due to war, climate change, hunger and so on, and others because their mother passed away peacefully at age 90. These are absolutely not the same and saying suffering is suffering greatly devalues the (somewhat preventable) suffering caused by unmet material needs, political actions and the like.
Turning seawater into salt by evaporating it works in areas where evaporation is substantially higher than precipitation, so mostly in dry, warm areas. It won’t work very well in Northern Europe for example. Salt needs to be kept moderately dry when transporting it, while it can’t rot, it’s still not trivial to transport.

And salt was not only flavoring, but one of the few means of preserving food. Access to salt was not a mere culinary issue, it was a matter of survival. This means that there was substantial trade, and substantial value in salt production and trade.
The idea behind the article is simple - use the structures fit for the problem.

The narrative, though, is imho faulty. You dont need CTE to retrieve the tree from the db - you can fetch a flat list and construct the tree locally, as you would most likely need to anyway for following manipulations.

The very same argument can be made about people who use rdbms to store the list - store it in a text file. Why pay the network latency cost?

Or alternatively, the proposed structure would not work with sufficiently big tree if we wanted to move branches around, changing their depth. That would impose linear cost.

State your intention at the beginning, instead of explaining three different examples that are later on invalidated in the conclusion section with "if you need a tree, use a tree". But adding this to the beginning of the article would be way less clickbaity.
yeah I kinda don't even believe what I'm writing, hence why I'm saying "supposed"

In 2020 here in Austria I had people clearly tell me when I was a fit and when I wasn't and with a reason. As a background I'm working for 20 years so I'd call myself very senior for a typical dev job.

The only exception was Automattic. They are very proud of everything and how clear their communication is, which it was for most of the time. I got invited to slack, got links with a lot of information. Then I had the interview, which from my point of view wasn't too bad.

After the interview I got told that they won't move forward. I can apply again after a year after I improved my skills. No word about what they thought didn't match the position. Slack channel closed, no response to my email asking what they were missing.
How do you figure?

I see it more likely the US gets a major electrical blackout right in the middle of winter due to some foreign state actors as a higher likelihood than WW3.

Wikipedia [meta essay]: Large language models
I wonder if it was determined that the code isn’t arbitrary, and nothing is being emulated. It’s more like a content engine.

Perhaps ScummVM is closer in concept to something like Super Mario Maker than to a full blown programming environment. You could argue that the custom content is “code” but it’s more like a limited set of actions accompanied with content.

GPLv3’s anti-Tivoization clause specifically targets software bundled with a device, which this is not. There’s plenty of GPLv3 software distributed by its developers on the App Store and nothing in the text of the GPL forbids distribution in a proprietary marketplace.
That ship has long sailed. There’s an x86 Linux user space emulator capable of running unmodified Alpine Linux, a shell running WASM/WASI binaries…

Of course, not every problem can be solved by BLAS, but if you are doing linear algebra, the cache stuff should be mostly handled by BLAS.

I’m not sure how much multiplication vs addition matters on a modern chip. You can have a bazillion instructions in flight after all, as long as they don’t have any dependencies, so I’d go with whichever option shortens the data dependencies on the critical path. The computer will figure out where to park longer instruction if it needs to.
So it’s ok for science to be limited by politics?

Yeah, I thought the other two sections were good but the "lost updates" section was just wrong, and in my opinion bizarre. Bizarre because the author does talk about different isolation levels - what does he suppose the purpose of those different isolation levels to actually be if he thinks READ COMMITTED should behave the same as SERIALIZABLE?
It shows that as a society we might be ok with humans doing it. Whether or not we are with machines doing it is a different question.
Optimizing with "Bad Code" [video]
What's that x86 Linux emulator app?
Amen. Since Chat GPT took off I've continued to believe it's biggest contribution to society will be that it greatly improves the ability of individuals to generate massive amounts of noise which they can add to the sea of unnavigable garbage the internet has already become. The power to produce more in less time is a net negative that ultimately lends itself to entropy, it is not a positive thing at all unless you completely ignore social and holistic effects in favor of a machiavellian hyper-individualist perspective which claims that any means and any consequence is acceptable to satisfy the isolated, local needs of single individuals at any given point in time.
This problem is not exclusive to Meta. It's the product of "big ball of mud" design. It relates to Dunbar's Number and the limitation of mental models.
Agree. The article is imho clickbaity and very shallow in the reasoning presented.
There is nice summary on the topic: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/choosing-an-open-table... ("Optimizing read performance"). Those technologies primary "Data Management at Scale" but they also extend capabilities provided by raw storage formats such as parquet. So they may help you, but the question if you are really need it. I haven't worked with BigQuery, it may include [similar features](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/search-index).

You need to define what "latency" means in your case and what is "quite high levels". We are talking about analytical data storage, it is designed for efficient batch processing. To find a single record is not a primary goal of the architecture - you will need some kind of caching/indexing for fast search. Sometimes adding "limit 1" for your single record search may solve the problem.

Be sure you are using efficent data storage format as parquet, check size of the files to be sure you don't have the ["small file problem"](https://www.royalcyber.com/blog/data-services/managing-small...), then check if you are using relevant BigQuery features. And before and after those checks run "explain" on your query, if you don't use partition keys or indexed columns your search results won't be instant in any big data system.
Those are not the same things.
Why Founders End Up Unemployable
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion here, but "tickets" don't make any conceptual sense for driverless cars. The entire concept of tickets and fines are to act as a deterrent to individual drivers who might make unsafe choices -- that they'll actively choose whether to obey a speed limit or not.

Driverless cars don't seem to be programmed to break laws in the first place. They're incapable of making a choice to break laws to save time. They're simply programmed not to speed, not to run through red lights. And when they do, it's not out of some "choice" -- it's just a bug or deficiency in their code.

Driverless cars absolutely do need to be held to safety standards. But the way to do that isn't through issuing tickets. It's simply for a governmental regulatory agency to set statistical limits for the manufacturer's software for mistakes like running a red light, and if the whole fleet of cars goes above that limit you require the software manufacturer to fix it, risking fines if they don't fix it quickly, or losing the ability to operate at all.

Issuing tickets for driverless cars makes as much sense as issuing tickets if pharmaceutical companies put the wrong amount of a drug in a pill. Tickets are for individuals who make choices; safety regulations with fines and revoking licenses are for corporations and things like driverless cars.
This is a Canadian Press story CBC is syndicating that's unfortunately about them. Not like they'd want to draw attention to this really. They can continue on with the actual news of the day. Fine with it.
