We add support by project, and the prototypical project we started with had 1M test reverse dependencies, a quarter of that was eligible test targets that we could recommend (based on language written in). This is probably the biggest project that we would ever find to support in the monorepo.

Some are UI tests, but we don't recommend those, because we found they don't catch breakages as often so we don't support the language they're written in. The tests we recommend are often integration type tests in that they call very higher order functions and often many of them.
Desktop sum = Chrome + Edge + Firefox + Safari = 39.4%

Firefox share = 4.2 / 39.4 = 10.7%

That's significantly higher than other reported figures.
> it is now impossible to run a desktop

I find that hard to believe, unless what you mean is "it is impossible to run a desktop with all of the features that I want, many of which are coincidentally easier to implement/maintain using systemd ecosystem features"
My 2008 Studio XPS 16 was a joy for almost a decade, with eventual upgrades to max out RAM and switch to SSD. The 1080p screen was amazing for its time and stayed acceptably nice, the text navigation keys (pg.up & etc.) vertically on the right were perfect for coding, and the Core 2 Duo was enough to get the job done (with a pretty optimized Gentoo setup, but it was still building that setup...)

Battery life sucked, though, even with the extended battery (of which I had 3).

I miss that laptop regularly. Maybe I'll try to resurrect it.
Somehow you've made a step in the exact opposite direction of what seems to be encouraged here. Does it still work out for you?
NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY HAVE TAKEN FROM US. WE WERE ONCE A CULTURE. NOW WE ARE LOST, FOREVER. WHITHER OUR SENSE OF BEAUTY. (etc., etc., insert architecture pics to taste)

C'mon dude. The opportunity for people to talk to one another about this stuff is unimaginably better than it was back then. Like, here we are, right now, me telling you you're full of shit. What are the chances of us being able to do that in 1999?

(I'm sorry to be mean, but I remember 1999 very well and it was much harder to get good information about things, and discuss things with others interested in the same topics, than it is today. And it was already markedly better then than it was even 5 years prior to that!)
lol CNN, MSNBC, NYT (sometimes they do), etc are all notorious for not linking out.

I’m so confident, go to CNN or MSNBC right now. I bet you can’t find one. NPR does this a lot too to be fair.
Both gpt-2 and gpt-4 do that.
The moral of the movie and show are very different too. Like JP the moral of the movie Westworld is that it is hubris to try to control a complex system and eventually something will (and does) go wrong. The show is much more like Blade Runner with the robots being actually intelligent and like BR the moral is that it is wrong to enslave and give false memories to intelligent beings even if they aren't human.
If Xi wanted to invade Taiwan he could have done it already. The US is not able to militarily defend it anymore. Obviously it would cause massive, massive problems for China, for instance it could completely stall the economic growth and as a result likely even create political instability but if 'uniting' Taiwan was the goal worth pursuing above anything else and it would need to be done NOW because Xi wants to live to see it happen then Chinese military is already capable of it and would have done it already. But they don't because they are rising superpower and Xi apparently doesn't want to see united Taiwan that badly or his grip on power is not so strong and others are not that keen on a shooting war with the US. So they just wait, because with every passing year China gets stronger and the US weaker. So they don't need to do anything to 'win by default'.
And that's why our west coast cities, which are not run by the half that hates government, are shining beacons of just how effective and successful governments can be.
The industrial revolution was (partially) enabled by finance. Especially Scotland managed to catch up so much with England during that time, because it had a better and more robust financial system.

I bring up the industrial revolution, because manufacturing before the industrial revolution existed, but with such low productivity that I am sure you wouldn't want to go back to that state.

I'm not sure the notion that interest was considered a sin by some people at some point in time carries much weight. First, have a look at all the other things considered great sins. Second, banks in the European middle ages did functionally earn interest income, they just used techniques that should be familiar to any modern tax optimiser or even sanction buster to officially call is something else.

One technique was to charge late fees. Technically as a debtor, you could pay your loan back on time at 0%, but if you ever wanted another loan, you better be fashionable late and pay your interest disguised as a late fee.

Another technique was to give you the loan in one currency and have you pay back in another. Then you can disguise the interest payments in the exchange rate.

There's also plenty of examples involving shenanigans with derivatives.

Have a look at modern Muslim finance for more examples.

So that golden age of no interest never really existed to begin with.
People today are more able to see people who are doing better than them economically, through social media etc., than at any time in the past. This is a huge contributor to the negative sentiment.
The Canadian projects with GE Hitachi's BWRX-300 definitely seem the closest to reality. But when I look at the promises:

> In 2019, GEH expected construction to start in 2024/2025 in the US or Canada, entering commercial operation in 2027/2028, and for the first unit to cost less than $1 billion to build. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BWRX-300

I can only think that they are completely over promising and committing themselves to under delivering. Three years to build at $3300/kW seems like exactly the same fantasy land that the nuclear industry has been failing to deliver for far too long. Just once they should try a realistic estimate and deliver what they promise. That would have an amazing positive effect for whoever did that.

Agreed on Fervo. For the 5% of countries with the worst sun and wind resources, something like that will be essential. And it will undoubtedly help the countries in the top 95% of wind and solar resources too.
Looks like the 1.3 percent was the part that was off. It’s .13 percent: https://www.davidsonacademy.unr.edu/blog/what-does-profoundl....

So the end result is accurate, it would be 2-3 students with that ability level.
A colleague once made a script that would follow links at random around Wikipedia.

His presentation was more in an artistic collage-style, but one might imagine a similar mechanism to provide "sabbath mode" for a web browser, browsing autonomously to avoid the potential melakha of borer involved when selects a link, removing all the unwanted anchor texts, leaving only the desired destination text?
Unemployment is also a poor metric in and of itself as it discounts large groups of people

Participation rate is much more meaningful IMO

Example, the participation rate is currently ~67%, so its inverse is 33%.

This means that 33% of the working age population are currently not employed
It's interesting how the massive model of e5-mistral has only marginal performance gains over the bge-base and similar ones. It could still be useful for the longer sentence length though.

What the problem is impacts how you solve it.

Spending less time on YouTube may not improve your financial situation, but it could change how secure you feel. On the other hand a second job can help if you’re actually just drowning in collage debt etc.
Example of what GP is trying to say: crime rate against children are objectively(as in true) lower now than it was a generation before yet parents are more worried about child's safety. And people "feeling" something is a very weak evidence.
The unemployment rate is a bit of a red herring; it could almost be said to measure regulatory interference. Supply and demand are simple laws that tell us that for practical purposes everyone will find a job - the only real question is at what wage and whether wages are high enough for people to get a job.

We see from the participation rate [0] that wages are not high enough to get men into jobs (or they just don't have the skills to be able to work productively). Women aren't moving in to the labour market any more either which is interesting.

> probability larger than zero

Strictly speaking, it should be a mistake to assign a probability equal to zero to any moves, even for illegal board moves, but especially for an AI that learns by example and self-play. It never gets taught the rules, it only gets shown the games -- there's no reason that it should conclude that the probability of a rook moving diagonally is exactly zero just because it's never seen it happen in the data, and gets penalized in training every time it tries it.

But even for a human, assigning probability of exactly zero is too strong. It would forbid any possibility that you misunderstand any rules, or forgot any special cases. It's a good idea to always maintain at least a small amount of epistemic humility that you might be mistaken about the rules, so that sufficiently overwhelmingly strong evidence could convince you that a move you thought was illegal turns out to be legal.

A link in the article purports to go to a 1973 issues of American Cinematographer. Sadly the link is broken, the domain having closed up shop years ago.

I persisted though and found the issue of the magazine [1], FWIW. Maybe the site is sketchy? I don't know.

Since I was into Super-8 film making when I was a teen I definitely enjoyed seeing the ads for all the high end film gear and flat-bed editors from 1973 that I could only dream of.

In 2023, most workers had wage growth stronger than inflation, which is also true for the post pandemic recovery.

"The data reveal that as of late 2023, most workers are earning more, in inflation-adjusted terms, than they were one year prior, and the fraction of workers receiving real wage increases is about the same as it was in the years before the pandemic. The data also suggest that most individual workers are earning more today than they were before the pandemic; every prime-age worker cohort has higher inflation-adjusted median wages than before the pandemic.

Solar PV is intrinsically scalable from microwatts to hundreds of gigawatts, or even larger. There were and are markets at all of these scales.[1] That's what allowed its development.

The space industry funded early development, Japan and then Germany funded early-mid adoption, and then China saw an opportunity to take leadership in the transition away from fossil fuels. So it goes.

1. Well, so far, only tens of gigawatts at the upper end in commercial operation, but it's just a matter of time before we get to hundreds. There are no engineering or regulatory problems.
Because you are not the same person 20 years ago and neither take the same salary.
They're using LFP batteries here which generally don't puff up and go foom.
I've been taught that that's what walkways are for. To walk twice as fast!
Yeah, totally. In fact, when I encounter someone who speaks and behaves like they are on the spectrum, it's a positive signal to me that: they probably aren't going to like me because I'm ADD and careless, but I'm going to love working with them because they are likely to complement my weaknesses.
I also struggle with how to define it. But I think it's so enigmatic due to the stochastic nature of the beast and unstable prompt-following. This morning, I saw flashes of AGI, as they say. I implemented a copy of ChatGPT browsing mode as it was last year, before they tweaked it for efficiency. I kept a copy of their good system prompt from that time and fed it into my own Bing search assistant's pipeline.

To test it, I used a query which the old ChatGPT browsing mode was able to solve consistently, and current browsing mode fails consistently. Fact-checking this quote:

What is the origin and history of this Joseph Addison quote?
"There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one..."

Every link on page one of Google confirms the source as Joseph Addison https://i.imgur.com/wtxW9xS.png

ChatGPT with browsing mode says Joseph Addison. My naive replacement using some new assistant's API code that someone posted to OpenAI's forum also answered Joseph Addison. https://i.imgur.com/h7XB81c.png

But I knew it could do better. I used a version of the old good prompt and iterated on it, removing all the copyright guardrails cruft. I implored it to only use authoritative sources and to never give up searching, etc. It didn't take long before it was telling me that the original author was actually NOT Joseph Addison but Hugh Blair. And you would only learn this by reading a book on archive.org https://i.imgur.com/hh6naF7.png

The problem is it isn't stable, and often fails to find the correct author, even using the exact same prompt and code. Setting the temperature to 0 only works for tokens that are well represented in the training set. Using 0 on tokens that it's never seen before will cause it to largely ignore the token. Ask it to write some code for "gpt-3.5-turbo-1106", and it will often reply with "gpt-3.5-turbo" at temperature 0, but increasing to 1 makes it more consistently reply with "gpt-3.5-turbo-1106". It's dropping the 1106 because it's not in its training weights, and you've kneecapped its ability to pick uncommon tokens. Stabilizing this is a hard thing. New concepts in programming or published research should be given the most attention by us, but the LLMs give them the least attention. Tuning it to pick up new terms more easily means upping the temperature, which also makes it more likely to deviate from the ground truth, which is also undesirable in many tasks.

But I don't think we are very far away from stabilizing this to a point where I will have no problem calling it AI myself.

Watching the inner monologue of the web search agent was illuminating, and worth implementing just to be able to see and modulate all that. For example, I was shocked to see the way that it detailed the precise quoting it would need to use and advanced keyword modifiers, which I didn't even realize were a thing on Bing, as Google dropped those advanced search tools a decade ago.

Watching its inner monologue is very interesting.

I mean if you don't want to be federally regulated for air travel, you can just fly intrastate. Southwest famously operated like this in the pre-deregulation era and became the poster child for federal airline deregulation. Though I don't think anyone is dumb enough to risk reputational suicide by flying a grounded plane intrastate.
Sure but past 2-7 years I haven't changed much either, and willing to take less as well.
The book's homepage: https://www.acityonmars.com

It could even be true that colonising space is not a desirable goal in general, but one might wish specific people would attempt to settle Mars, although said wish would be less benevolent and more "don't let the gravity well hit you on the way out"...
I think there's slight a difference there. Compare these two:

You: I’ve been trained to obey bedtime

Proposed: I'm a person that obeys bedtime

What I'm getting at here is that while you seem to think you _should do_ it, you don't actually think about yourself as someone that does do it. Which makes sense because it's true, but I think the suggestion is to lie to yourself, just a little.
And yet actual employment rate has dropped slightly, though it has been relatively consistent - https://www.statista.com/statistics/192398/employment-rate-i...

In reality, like inflation or jobs reports, the numbers are really just a shell game played by politically inclined departments. To put it simply, the actual employment rate is down ~2% since 2008. In real terms, we have ~2% less Americans employed since 2008. That said ~60% currently are employed.

That’s because the government calculates the unemployment rate as “those seeking employment” but there’s a bunch of criteria for that. In truth, 40% of people aren’t working, 60% are.
A colleague and friend of mine just started a 6 week stay at an Antarctic base for research. They was telling me that there used to be an open bar there, but it has been closed due to too many cases of harassment. Instead, you have to request and reserve alcohol that you want to consume during your stay. The awkward part is you have to get your research advisor to sign off on it. In the end, they reserved the maximum number of "alcohol units" for their length of stay. This amounted to: a handle of whiskey, 4 bottles of wine, and 17 cans of beer. "Enough for one fun night" I joked!
Yeah, when I saw the film as a kid (in the theater) it was the first time I had heard of a computer virus. At the time I dismissed it as a fanciful but outrageous plot device.
Ask HN: Is a regular developer blog desireable in a B2C SaaS product?
I'm in the process of starting a B2C SaaS product; and I'm debating on sharing regular updates about decisions I'm making, struggles I'm having, etc. Part of me is interested in using this product as a potential portfolio for my skills, in the event that the product doesn't take off, so maybe there's value in relaying what I've done and am working on, etc?

But also, nothing of my product can be bought yet - in fact, I'm still working on the prototype to share with friends to get their opinion on, etc, so it would be a blog on an under construction website, which doesn't sound great either.

Thoughts? I'd love to get knowledge and feedback here, I'm very new to all of this! Well, old dev, new marketer.

(reposted at new time of day hoping to get more traction :D)
I mean, this seems obvious to me. How would the model predict the next move WITHOUT calculating the board state first? Yes, by memorization, but memorization hypothesis is easily rejected by comparison to training dataset in this case.

It is possible the model calculates an approximate board state, which is different from the board state but equivalent for most games, but not all games. It would be interesting to train adversarial policy to check this. From KataGo attack we know this does happen for Go AIs: Go rules have a concept of liberty, but so called pseudoliberty is easier to calculate and equivalent for most cases (but not all cases). In fact, human programmers also used pseudoliberty to optimize their engines. Adversarial attack found Go AIs also use pseudoliberty.
IMHO the comparison is to inform the decision point of whether to fly or drive somewhere, so the inputs should be limited accordingly: exclude drives that couldn't reasonably be flown.

Is it safer on average to do a long road trip, or fly? Historical crash data on long road trips (excluding commutes, local errands, etc.) probably doesn't exist, but if it did, that would be very preferable. Perhaps people crash more when driving unfamiliar roads, with additional fatigue of long durations, with additional distraction of kids, etc. Or perhaps routine drives are worse because one lets their guard down!

curiously, on top of all of this, as someone who regularly takes cannabinoids while running long distances, I have to say that it absolutely impacts my performance (and those I know who do) positively.

My uptake method is usually through either THC infused sports drinks or supplements, so that might be behind why I get the positive effects without the negative ones, and while the science isn't there (yet, for some reason), I can only conjecture that it would argue microdosing would have a positive effect.
"Their overall rate of accidents is estimated as 30 times higher than conventional elevators. A representative of the Union of Technical Inspection Associations stated that Germany saw an average of one death per year due to paternosters..."

Wow - those were definitely different times in terms of acceptable risks in various aspects of life.

Modern times obviously improved a lot of it, but if you're at least a bit cynical, you also have to wonder how much, due to those measures, people are "prevented" from having to build out their awareness of surroundings, dexterity and overall "aptitude for life".
I am again reminded of Huxley's 'Brave New World'.

Once you are unemployed for longer than a certain period of time (six months?), you're no longer counted among the unemployed as you are considered to no longer be in the labor market. Statistricks.
There’s some fun stuff in the unemployment stats if you look. For instance, more people taking a second job.

Companies are also cutting higher salary employees and reducing hiring.
Government regulation compliance: It is necessary to make accounts, verify identity, request and pay for licenses. Following rules, displaying required notifications, enforcing compliance with fines or status changes all comes across to most members of the public as completely byzantine and incomprehensible. All of that needs to start with government officers who understand the related legal landscape.

I believe it was another NPR podcast that pointed out that the Unemployment Rate is not designed to tell potential employees how easy it will be to get a job.

But rather it’s designed to inform business about the state of the labour market.

In recent decades of course it’s used as a political popularity tool.
