It's a bit hard to tell, but this isn't open source (well, assuming we all don't consider wasm source :)), right?

I got as far as "powered by cheerpx", which leads me here: https://leaningtech.com/webvm/

And I'm also guessing that you guys just allow free use of the compiled wasm for demos such as this?
Microsoft has since removed the ban

>I'm sick of hearing about how "interesting" and "potentially . . . useful" the tech is when the vast majority of real-world uses are speculative bets or outright scams.

There may well be good uses in narrow circumstances outside of developed countries. But people still try to steer so many conversations towards cryptocurrency not because of those uses, but because they want to drive the value of the currency higher.

Why does it matter if you're sick of hearing it? It remains true, for the technology, taking all the misueses by companies and people aside. You don't address that for one, the normal financial world is rife with abuses, and two, that those people in developing countries that you flippantly mention in passing make up hundreds of millions of individuals with major problems in their domestic governing systems.

Furthermore, somebody creating a crypto-related scam doesn't affect me personally if im not involved. Increasingly restrictive financial laws and algorithmic, arbitrary cancellations of accounts and transactions by major banking and finance institutions do on the other hand affect me whether I want them to or not. Sadly, one depends on these systems still, and an alternative would definitely be a useful thing.
Well the nice thing about MS, I'll say as a die-hard Linux user, is that these days, it's very very easy to not be a customer of MS or a user of their products to any great extent. If you don't want to use Windows, you really don't have to: it's very easy these days to just use Linux, and if you insist that you must use Windows because of some software, that's really on you at this point with so much stuff now on the web. No one is forcing you to play Madden MXLVI or whatever the latest Windows-only game is; it's purely a luxury.
> Do you have a link?

Unfortunately no. It was probably about a year ago and searching around for "ants" videos isn't coming up with anything. I've noticed that after a while YouTube will remove the red border to indicate you've watched a video.

I can say for sure it wasn't a Kurzgesagt video, but they have a number of videos about ants. I haven't seen all of them but their videos are usually high quality: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Kurzgesagt+ants

The video I'm thinking about had pretty big black "warrior" ants scout out an area and engage with termites, I'm not sure of their species. Based on my memory it felt like a documentary style video. It was all live captured video with a narrator, not an animation.

To be honest I'm not super into ants. It was one of those videos that somehow landed in my feed and I was pleasantly surprised because I like learning about new things.
IIRC, managers were qualified sales leads who were actively looking to move to a supported Linux platform, but got turned off by the installer&docs out-of-box experience that seemed like it was going to make a lot of extra work for them.

I just meant the "softening guide" might've helped from the perspective of the company who'd like to land those customers. I don't think it's the best way, but at the right moment it might've salvaged some sales.
Blakes 7 was NOT the latest BBC sci-fi series. The more recent one would be 'Red Dwarf', a comedic sci-fi series from 1988 (36 years ago)

That's a tax on new construction which will reduce it. Tax all homeowners equally.
i don't think uxn is trivial, i think it's a first step toward something great. it definitely isn't the exemplification of "software built for humans to understand"; you have to program it in assembly language, and a stack-based assembly language at that. in that sense it's closer to brainfuck than to hypertalk or excel or oberon. it falls short of its goal of working well on small computers (say, under a megabyte of ram and under a mips)

the bit you quote about uxn having a standard virtual machine to permit easy ports to new platforms is from wirth's 01965 paper on euler http://pascal.hansotten.com/niklaus-wirth/euler-2/; it isn't something devine and rek invented, and it may not have been something wirth invented either. schorre's 01963 paper on meta-ii targets a machine-independent 'fictitious machine' but it's not turing-complete and it's not clear if he intended it to be implemented by interpretation rather than, say, assembler macros

i suggest that if you develop more tolerance for opinions that differ from your own, instead of deprecating them as 'persistent negativity' and 'dictating', you will learn more rapidly, because other people know things you don't, and sometimes that is why our opinions differ. sometimes those things we know that you don't are even correct

i think this is one of those cases. what i said, that you were disagreeing with, was that uxn was not the same kind of achievement as oberon, pascal, quicksort, forth, and structured programming (and, let me clarify, a much less significant achievement) and that it is a long way from [meriting] a turing award. i don't see how anyone could possibly disagree with that, or gloss it as 'uxn is trivial', as you did, unless they don't know what those things are

i am pretty sure that if you ask devine what he thinks about this comment, you will find that he agrees with every word in it
The thing is.... all the failed reproductions of LK-99 were based on the leaked version of the paper, which according to the authors is missing some information/steps for production. They said they would publish the complete/final version of the paper in 2024, waiting to see that.
egui [1] supports wasm.

I wrote a simple chord finder for learning to play guitar with it pretty quickly [2], and would use it again to solve a problem like this, though I'm told immediate mode UI frameworks aren't good for things other than quick prototypes, or in my case, scratching a quick itch.

I've enjoyed Ali Abdaal's new book he just launched. A couple similar points really stood out along these lines even if they sounds pretty common sense.

Treat your priorities like any investment. Keep a wish list of all the things you want to do, but the second column is just the current things you are actually investing time in. You know there can only be 1-3 things in that column.

Have 3 things (quests) you do each day. One short task you can complete each day in each of these three categories: Work, Health, Relationships. Not 1, not 5. These 3. They can be as simple as "Relationship: call Grandma". IMO, doesn't even have to be a successful call. At least you made the attempt at the task. That means it's done and you made progress.
Three other options (admittedly less effective, but the upside is no killing).

1. Give them what they want. I have a bottle of cheap corn syrup I use as a truce offering. If I start getting scouts or the beginnings of an incursion I just dump a big glob of the syrup right next to their nest outside. Everyone disappears from my house within a half hour. Usually, they forget about the kitchen for a couple weeks. Then I repeat.

2. Peppermint oil. The ants here will avoid it. If I smear it across an active ant line it interrupts it even.

3. Ant moat. Works great for sugar products and pet dishes. I use 4 shot glasses full of soapy water holding up a small kitchen rack. The rack is perched on 4 small submerged pillars I added to the rack's feet.

Edit: of course an invasive species needs to be dealt with in accordance to the threat to the local ecosystem. I'm just providing options for simple nuisance ants.
Doesn't Phi-2 have testing data contamination, hence why it's performing well on these benchmarks?

Most professionals in the field that I'm near would not touch that model with a 10 foot pole. We desperately need better validation/data contamination detection methods.
thank you, i definitely should have mentioned franz's work, even though i didn't know he was gal's advisor

perhaps more significant than tracemonkey was luajit, which achieves much higher performance with the tracing technique

This is cool but I’m not clear on why this is needed, is spotty reception really that big of an issue? Or is it really to save lives under extreme circumstances in ultra remote areas? Anecdotally I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have a decent signal
IIRC this was a key part. Anything that “moves” and alters the state of a Rocket in flight could be considered key.

And this story, as far as I remember from the book, was from the Falcon 1 days, where reusability was not on the table. Early days type stuff where cash reserve preservation was tantamount.

The guy “had never built anything like the actuator” but he was an engineer who (hopefully by virtue of being an engineer) understood the first principles behind designs.

To put into context, a large part of SpaceX’s unique competitive advantage comes actions like this. The Aerospace industry up until SpaceX mostly operated in the manner you suggest: buy the outsourced parts, design only what is “truly key”, and then cobble it all together.

Except that exposes yourself to large amounts of supply chain risk, design constraints, and price gouging like no other. The actuator costed $120k because there were no competitors and they knew the old primes would buy it anyways.

Elon definitely went against the grain of established thinking at the time and it’s clearly paid off. Maybe not “business genius” but it’s not a small undertaking and went against decades of ingrained engineering culture and business practice.
That sounds a lot more livable than my solution of throwing pajama pants or socks over every LED before I go to bed. My dell laptop power connector and google router are the worst offenders.
>It’s a 10K fine per listing

Is it? Has even a single party been charged? And if so, what was the enforcement process?

Without unions that strike (key word: strike) workers have no power.

Edit: the $10k is a maximum fine, not a minimum fine. In other words, it's a complete joke.
franz-go is like 4x-20x faster than standard confluent client
Yes, I agree with you. But unfortunately working is the best cooperation pattern we've found so far, the society keeps running smoothly if everyone is working. Maybe AI will change it, maybe not, let's wait and see.
Unless you consider systemd's security features (filtering available syscalls), there's literally no interposition between apps and the kernel.

If I weren't a human living on Earth and only based on your description, I would almost believe that the US is a saint, lol.
We hired a guy who later billed for critical services through a shadow company. He used someone else’s name, resume and identity.

He was out of prison for a similar thing.

Guess what? There was no background check for the hire nor any vetting of the company.

Guess who found him out?
Sure, but Texas rarely approaches anything you could consider 'room temperature' anyway, its more like 'sauna temperature'
i'm delighted it's useful!
No, modern AI tools make dragnet surveillance much easier. Imagine that the State bans a certain religion, and has the ability to automatically detect apostatic or heretical speech in private conversations without a tap, without an agent reviewing the recording, and with a fraction of the compute needed in the past

No, I'm not really worried about Joe doing that, just Uncle Sam
I like the example and the detailed explanation but "it works in some scenarios" is only enough to say that some things work well as files, it's not enough to convince that everything should be a file (or that everything should be the same, whatever the same is).

> "sky's the limit, just put the logic in the fs"

You can, but why is it better to do that? "just" put the logic in a Python script seems much simpler than putting it in a low level pretend filesystem driver, on the other side of an arbitrary interface you had to come up with to satisfy an ideology that everything should have to go through this interface, right?

Over Christmas I set some LED displays running, controlled by an RS-232 serial port. It would be possible to echo a line of text to a pretend filename and have it appear on the sign, but there is a command for whether the text is static or scrolling and one for whether the text appears on the top line or bottom line. That information has to be somewhere, either as different paths in the filesystem e.g. /mnt/sign/static/row/top vs /mnt/sign/scrolling/row/top or as formatted content inside the file, or both.

There's a command to change the colour of the subsequent text, which can be used anywhere in the message, many times over - so that can't easily go in the filesystem path so now there needs to be some intermediate structure which both the shell script and the filesystem driver speak, to be able to pass this command through the file interface. With a COM port in Windows, if one script opens it and another script tries to open it then there's a clear error that the port is in use. If a usermode filesystem driver held the com port open, what would happen if two scripts tried to write to these files? Does one get a mysterious "write failed" filesystem error to catch and debug instead of a proper relevant error message? Do they have to proxy error messages through /mnt/sign/meta/error ?

This is one of the most trivial things a computer can do, sending a short text, which is possible with echoing to a com port /dev/ttyS0, and the abstraction idea of making it a file is already creaking under the weight of the task, adding the burden of arbitrary path decisions and data formatting and task-specific escape codes and control sequences, and bodgy-error handling, while assisting with basically nothing - while you can find /mnt/* you get no help with that, no link to any documentation, no further discovery, no interactivity like you get from a command line binary program interface. Much much easier to put the sign's commands directly in a short Python script, isn't it? And other more complex tasks just get more and more intense, as the "plain text" files in /etc/ are an ad-hoc mix of formats and data types and parsing rules and symbolic links to /opt/ and other random places.

As I say in another comment, usermode filesystems never became the default or popular way to do things, why not?
The per computer thing made me move to iDrive but I will move back for the UX. I am going to do a hybrid where one computer is backed up with the majority of files, and for other computers use free Dropbox tiers.
The first programming language I started to learn in college is Pascal, RIP and thank you Niklaus!
This is great! I’m always on the lookout for advancements in decompilation. Looking forward to Part 2 :)
It's worth noting that there are no known attacks against MD5 HMACs, which look identical to MD5 hashes.
i found a video of a standoff between termites and ants even more impressive: https://youtu.be/C96w-7B2W8I

> What, exactly, is supposed to be so bad about that?

The eventual users of the hypothetical commercial OS lose their freedom. (Or don't get their freedom, depending on your point of view.) Permissive licences grant users freedom, but don't preserve those freedoms in derivative works, so the original work can end up helping derived software disrespect users' freedom. For those who believe that users' freedom should always be respected, this is a very bad thing that needs to be avoided.
Nice. Although "latest news" are from 2021.
Teams was kept in appdata like Chrome so that these programs can update themselves without admin privileges and I suppose that is how they keep users on a recent version.
In a couple of years pretty much any "photo" online could be fake. Heck, phones are now sold on the basis of the fake images you can take with them. Generative AI has come for pretty much everything.
I'm not throwing shade at proper transparency, I'm calling for more of it!

Putting out a story, report, assertion, etc, that carries most or all the trappings of veracity, but has some disclaimer that isn't right up front-and-center-obvious, is NOT proper transparency.

Proper news stories are supposed to be structured with the most important information up front, in the headline & first paragraph — the 5 Ws — Who, What, When, Where, Why. Then go into successively less important detail. The concept is to deliver news, and also allow the editors to cut it off wherever necessary to fit.

If the story is not factual, your disclaimer needs to be in that first paragraph (with an exception for April Fools jokes).

Just because most "news" is now formless clickbait trash, does not make it legit to put a "this uses some [unspecified amount of] AI input and may not be fully factual" at the end where nobody will read it. That's playing cute "gotcha" games with your readers, and is the opposite of transparency.
>You should be paid the accurate value of the labor.

that's gone out the door in the digital age. Compaies at this point have spent centuries trying to enfoce this model while witholding stuff like stock and royalties to take a part of what the company enjoys by protifting for decades off of a single (underpaid) piece of labor.

I don't exactly sympathize with a robot now trying to do the same. Pay your labor.
Large part of the tech world benefitted from low interest rates. Pull out the free money rug and lots of things fall over. All those devs working on those things don’t just disappear - they tilt supply/demand
Well, any pseudo-random algorithm. If we avoid pseudo-random behaviors, we can provide certain guarantees that no pattern of access can get around, such as that if an item is freshly inserted into the cache, then it will stay there for (at least) the next N cache misses, for some specific N; that those N misses will evict something else.

If we consider LRU, no contrived pattern of access on LRU will cause it to evict some item Y if there is an item Z present which was less recently touched than Y.
Thank you for your recognition
I should have mentioned somewhere, I disabled threading for OpenBLAS, so it is comparing one thread to one thread. Parallelism would be easy to add, but I tend to want the thread parallelism outside code like this anyways.

As for the inner loop not being well optimized... the disassembly looks like the same basic thing as OpenBLAS. There's disassembly in the comments of that file to show what code it generates, I'd love to know what you think is lacking! The only difference between the one I linked and this is prefetching and outer loop ordering: https://github.com/dsharlet/array/blob/master/examples/linea...
And AppStore distributed application which are by default isolated, removing some feature too. (custom shortcut for example).
If you forced me to conduct best language olympics, the process I would use might look something like this:

1. Each team develops the same vertical slice of the business in their ecosystem of choice.

2. Test officials will make an edit to each codebase (somehow invisible to git history) that introduces a subtle bug. Alternatively, they may propose a small feature enhancement.

3. Time how long it takes each team to get a corrected/updated build deployed & re-tested successfully.

4. Go to 2 until statisticians are satisfied with the results.
Sounds like everything went wrong.
That's fine man, life and work happens.

Still, your project shows up in search engines. Maybe you should consider handing it off to someone?

But I'll understand if not. Scratching our own itch and moving on, and all that. :)
Making the claim that transformers are a good candidate model for certain neural pathways is a pretty different claim than saying the brain is literally using transformers.

If you consider that almost nobody gets a job without going through some rejection, it is. It's a stochastic process, and every interview is another roll of the dice.
Yeah I find it very obscene that they ask so so many obtrusive questions for "statistics"
>Getting poorer reviews. Not being seen as a team player.

>If we're talking just socially, that will impact how the people you interact with perceive you.

I reiterate for emphasis: Stop caring what the fuck others think about you.

>Have you ever worked where the expectation is you'll be on-call, even on your vacation?

You are working at your choice of employment out of your own free will; you chose to work that job that demands you be on call even on vacation. If you don't like it, you have a right to quit and find other arrangements better suited to your lifestyle.

Worst-case scenario you might just have a wonderful time for several hours and decide you'd like to do it again with some kind of guide.

Anecdotally it's very uncommon to hear about people having a bad time or even a neutral experience on MDMA in any number of settings.
Criminals who don't reoffend (even for things like assault) within 5 years are almost always statistically a better risk than the public at large.

I won't say that it's almost tautological, but it's pretty close.

If you can surpass conviction and probation, you are remarkably self-disciplined. Probation conditions are much more problematic than an actual job, and the penalty for failure is going back to jail.

A person who can pass that kind of environment is absolutely the kind of person you want working for you.

I'll give your non-contribution to this discussion a quote in turn:

"Libertarians are like house cats: completely dependent on a system they neither understand nor appreciate, but nevertheless fiercely confident of their own independence."
Wouldn't you then be reliant on community members to track down that information and feed it into the system? In which case the end result would still be a matter of how determined the community is to keep police accountable, which I don't see changing much.
Good. What I mean is that it is a lot more effort than cutting down on an extra snack. Running a hour for 600 calories does not sound like its very effective since its just about the calories of 2 cookies.
