its been such a long year, I still remember the month of gpt...what was it, not gpt4all...gpt...ah whatever. The "running an LLM in a loop will solve it" approach. I'm not a big fan, I'd need to see something truly transformative.

This seems to be a Langchain wrapper, where the Langchain is a prompt + retrieval based on a few documents.

Other countries have longer recording requirements (25 hours). The FAA has been pushing for longer black box recordings, but only for new planes.
I believe the current situation is like this.

The advantage of eBPF lies in *request granularity* (i.e. PRC, API, SQL, etc ...) distributed tracing. To trace the internal functions of an application, instrumentation is still required for coverage. Therefore, the finer the service decomposition, the more effective eBPF's distributed tracing becomes.
On the other hand, it would have been nice for anyone to have some humanity and put a stop to the nonsense rather than giving N candidates false hope.
re: "a lot", I don't have hard data but it is what I see in my own code, code I use and even whenever someone needs to post a lil snippet of code on videos, blog posts, etc. I just feel those three lines are pure friction for no good reason.

I actually like the suggestion below, that would involve just a little, backward compatible, tweak on how fmt works [1].

We’re still living in Reagan’s World and they still don’t get it.
I think the point is that these should be more similar (and they aren't with our current technology).
Dense walkable neighborhoods like you'd find in most parts of Europe.
This is a really informative tweet but I don't think the headline is an accurate summary.
Forgot to add - Wikihouse has been at it since like 2011. In that time, we've seen the rise of engineered wood to the point that CLT (Cross-Lamianted Timber) is discussed as a steel replacement in large and tall building construction. What WH was doing back when was quaint and very precious. But their whole thing is kind of a relic of a simpler time. What they say they're about hits on a lot of different levels for me - as an advocate for FOSS and Open Source more generally, a NERD for modular building systems, someone actually working in the advanced fabrication and automated construction spaces, and more I WISH I could go to bat for them. But there's just no "there there" in terms of meeting the goals they claim.
Looking at total deaths is only fair, because different situations are going to cause different attrition rates, including non-combat. Put another way, the non-combat death rate of those deployed in Afghanistan is going to be different than that for those on base at Pendleton. This is why, for instance, vaccine experiments compare all-cause mortality between the control and experiment groups.

Whether one is a fan of losing a war, or not, matters not - when you can't win. The Afghanistan Papers were the military's own assessment. We were losing, and running out of Afghans. If you wanted to keep the war going then soon enough you'd start needing large numbers of American soldiers maintaining ground ops, and that's basically not possible - we'd be getting picked off like fish in a barrel. The politicians certainly knew the Afghan security forces would collapse. The idea was probably to try to paint it as a failure of those security forces, instead of a failure of America - as would happen if we started mass deployment, and then ended up having to retreat anyhow - minimizing humiliation.

As for Vietnam, the number of initial refugees was quite low - hundreds of thousands in a country of tens of millions. And the earliest refugees were largely made up of collaborators who had every reasonable expectation of facing torture and death if they remained. It also says very little about ideology as China was one of the destinations for hundreds of thousands of the early refugees.
A very good book for web developers. I read it a couple of months ago. It's very useful and I highly recommend it, even if it doesn't go deep into the details like other books.
Imagine if Apple or Google were retroactively removing a feature. The shitstorm would be outrageous.

Where I'm from, the same discussion appears every two years, when the government tries once more to shutdown FM radio. Luckily, they always get shut down by the people. Maybe don't try to shut down public services that millions of people actually rely on.

Cheers, I had a quick glance at it and didn't understand how it supported their position at all.

That was 2016, which was Trump who gave you folks tax cuts and attacks on education. Completely mad.
A lot of these have ballistic parachutes to solve that problem, some even powerful enough to take into account low altitude flying.
Thank you. I can't believe how much FUD is out there from IOU (investor owned utilities) lobbyists that the general populace has accepted uncritically as fact. We need to encourage distributed generation by policy for so many reasons, not the least of which is a reduced need for transmission and land use.
I wouldn't classify type assertion as reflection. It's a super fast type check of the object header, not dynamic reflection.
No, what you are saying is factually wrong. Now if you are lying or just wrong would depend on how much of your income depends on it.

The culprit is manipulated mass media, the current version of it is social media so before mark Zuckerberg the culprit was television owners, not whatever excuse you are trying to find to not blame media.

Can you elaborate on this? From what I can tell, the outcome that you’re speaking of has occurred for the opposite reason.

Looking at the data for the US, there seems to be an even more exponential curve between 2015-2020, which would imply that these trends could have been further exacerbated by the reduction of government regulation. The same is likely true for the concentration of wealth, the loss in small businesses, disenfranchisement, etc.
Might even be useful for instance just to get 2k of ram allocated in an indirect way.
The most troublesome part of this demo for me was the one tablespoon of mayo it wanted you to add to your vegetable omelet. Yikes.
Certainly not forever, but maybe a couple of years.

At work we use Sierra Wireless modems which are only 3G + 4G. So in practice only 4G in many countries already now or in a couple of months.

The Netherlands close down 2G but keep 3G. (I am being told, not living or working there.)
100% open rate on transactional emails feels too high to me. Something like an e-commerce purchase might kick off multiple emails (purchase made, shipped, arrived), none of which the user opens
The biggest difference: DeepFlow enables *Distributed* Tracing.

In addition, DeepFlow combines the capabilities of eBPF and cBPF to achieve full-stack tracing of syscall + network_forward. You can take a look at our documentation: https://deepflow.io/docs/about/features/
Many years ago, Sprint used to have a "text to landline" feature on their network. You could send an SMS from your phone and then their server would dial the landline and use a speech synthesizer to read out the text.
I think it's the opposite of individualism. Individualism accepts some responsibility for risk, but we seem to be in a system where no risk is tolerable, and the government has to fix everything. It gives rise to learned helplessness.

I don't see social media as a technology for individualists either, because it's all about approval and homogenization. Individualism is actually antisocial at it's core, because it's about being yourself regardless of what anybody else thinks. It only seems like we have an individualist system because everything is on blast 24/7, but that's really just the shuffle of collectivists patting each other on the back in the public eye so that others can align their virtues with the current zeitgeist.

We don't have public places anymore where people can just be people away from the gaze of social media. Individualism requires learning who you really are, which means making mistakes, and that's difficult when a video on social media could make you a pariah outside of the confines of your local community.
I did AS/400 also. Cool stuff. We had token ring and it turns out if you are fast enough you can add in a new node to the existing ring without breaking any ongoing connections or anything. Lay all the cables out, practice the unplug and replay mentally and then boom, new employee online.

But yeah tcpdump, netcat, dig invaluable. Just the knowledge of the TCP handshake and what various timings for “connect failed” might mean about a firewall in the way vs. app not running etc is super useful, cloud or not.
Not long before the 3G voice gets disabled too so the spectrum can get reused.

When I applied for my Irish passport, the only way to inquire about the process of my application was via Twitter. (They had something that superficially looked like a contact widget on their website, but it was nonfunctional)
So quick to blame social media, even the article just waves it's hand and makes the assumption.

Why not declining social mobility? Why not climate change anxiety? Why not late stage capitalism? Nah, it's always easy to blame Tik Tok as if the chosen release isn't indicative of something much greater going on.
There's some cool science fiction / conspiracy theory out there about antimatter reactors and stable Moscovium 115. Our part of the galaxy is a desert for stable heavy elements.
You mentioned the "effect of ever faster economic growth across the world". But economic growth hasn't become consistently faster.
Technically it's not my problem (or on any other basis), but it bothers me because I'm weird.

I was tempted to find their CTO on linked in and post a message there, along with the fact that there was no reply to my outreach nor a proper channel to do so.

I think the only think in their defense is that they must get a lot of angry customer messages and they just don't want to deal with that.
Yeah I know; but blazor is huge because it needs to ship its own garbage collector and object runtime. Google says 1.3mb for a hello world blazor app.

With wasm-GC, blazor should get way faster and smaller. And the blazor-(JS & DOM) bridge can be massively simplified too. I don't see any good reason for blazor apps to be any larger than the equivalent react app. And that will make it a much more viable platform.
OK, make the comparison more direct, then. Say you have a filing cabinet with all of your important and \ or embarrassing documents in it. Are you OK with houseguests giving the handle a little wiggle when they come over to check if its locked? What about the neighborhood kids?

> Semantics and correctness of implementation
It is not obvious how the Mariposa language could be given a formal semantics. Since there is no specification of its semantics, it doesn't even make sense to ask if the implementation is right or wrong. However, we are sure that the implementation is incorrect for almost any conceivable semantics. It should be understood only as an exploratory game.

You're correct - but wait until you meet their other friend "milling the panels." Doing it out of plywood is one increased level of expense and difficulty - machine and operator time is an exponential multiplier. Think about it - you're taking a system that could be a guy with a table saw ripping a piece of ply in a minute tops and turning it in to a guy standing and watching a mill run through a piece of ply in who knows how many passes... it just doesn't make any sense.
I had this momentarily, but then it disappeared after a refresh. Guessing a feature flag got switched on a little too early.

There are hundreds of anecdotes about people with near-impossible to conquer opiate addictions that have managed to quit using ibogaine. I personally know someone who tried and failed on three occasions with traditional rehab, but she has been 10 years clean after ibogaine.

It’s really frustrating how much our drug approval process biases towards patentability. There are probably hundreds of extremely beneficial drugs out there that have no chance of approval simply because no drug company is willing to do trials for an unpatentable drug.
Except with drinking, there's at least many adults that can effectively consider the risks of drinking. With smartphone usage, I'd argue that adults are just as bad, if not worse, in judging their own usage.

I fail to see how this is anything but blaming the youth (or, modern speech "ageism").
When I grew up in Germany you were allowed to drink beer and wine at 16. It's hard to drink yourself into the hospital with those and you are still living with your parents. It provided a safe environment to experiment and learn how to deal with alcohol. At 18 you were able to get a driver's license and start drinking stronger drinks. However, you weren't as excited about the novelty of liquor. It's the only policy are I feel Germany has nailed better than anyone else I'm aware of
You might have to require that any code that uses the now/at constructs be wrapped in a macro invocation, e.g. (with-time-travel ...). The with-time-travel macro would then be a syntax transformer that rewrites the program. I'm not sure how, though... you'd have to enumerate all of the code blocks that are inside "at" forms, and then conditionally dispatch to them in the expansion of the "now" form; but that doesn't quite work because (now) is a value, and so figuring out which "at" forms consume it is probably undecidable. You can't have all the cases in the expansion, either, because of the incompatible environments.

It's an interesting problem, but one that I think is ok not to be able to solve in Scheme.
> My point is that Boeing will take the flak for what is arguably a pilot error situation with the MAX crashes

It's hard to say if you're trolling or just very misinformed. Boeing was hiding the fact that MAX had additional system to correct the pitch from the pilots.
Meet people and solve their network problems. Whether at work or family or where ever, any time you solve a tricky problem you learn more and people bring you more in the future, plus you helped them which is a nice feeling. Also like they said above, build yourself a wonderfully complex home or small office network and maintain it. I would also say smaller companies are better for learning the basics as in large companies oftentimes you won’t even know someone allowed to touch cables but in a small company one person has broader responsibility or access to cool problems.
I agree with you in general, and I've never written code in this style.

But at the same time, converting between error and result domains is tedious and error-prone. As much as we believe separating concerns is a good thing, it's pretty likely that service layer code will never ever be used outside a HTTP service context, so... so what?

I probably still wouldn't design like this in my own stuff, but I'm not convinced it's actually so terrible.
I think micro.blog is easy no?
At my day job, red = on and green = off. This game is the opposite. I wish this game had alternative on/off indicators like 1 and 0 or something without relying on color. It’s too much for years of habit, even in color blind mode.
also it violates longstanding security measures against malicious prank unsubscribes; it means that if you forward an email list message to someone else, they can unsubscribe you without your consent as a prank

While I will always advocate for the legalization of all drugs, I think it's important to recognize the dangers and not downplay them.

But a lot of those dangers can be mitigated by having them legal and regulated.

A lot of abuse is about self-medicating from pain, so if they're going to do that let's at least make it safer to do so and have support to transition off when ready.
They were called "template-based" JIT and copy-and-patch approach is not new in this regard. The novel idea of copy-and-patch JIT was an automatic code generation via relocatable objects. (By the way, QEMU is indeed cited as an inspiration for copy-and-patch JIT.)

I think all the social media stuff is missing the mark. It's 100% bad but it's just trash filling the hole society is making.

Looking top down at the problem, humans need self actualization or propose to be happy. Originally we evolved to live in medium sized social groups that worked together to ensure their survival, we took care of each other and that was what drove our purpose, or rather why that need evolved, it helped increase the odds a group survived.

Fast forward and we're now trying to derive purpose out of pure competition. What percentile is your IQ, your GPA, your income, your stack rank. Society is becoming hyper competitive because that is what makes the most money. Nobody interacts with their local community, they interact with those that provide the best chance of making enough money to survive: coworkers, their "network", prospective employers.

This is all great for perpetual exponential economic growth but not so great for humans. Instead of just being the best we can be for our community we're trying to make them compete, keeping people switched on in survival mode 24/7 to extract maximum profits. Instead of community we're trying to create a nice plastic wrapped substitute with social media and phones, they're not the cause, they're the symptom.
The red tape is actually hundreds of millions of dollars that some private party has to cough up to fund clinical trials, and with many of these drugs, there is no hope in recovering because they’re not patentable. And we don’t really have any mechanism for publicly funding clinical trials for unpatentable but public-benefitting drugs.
People have long complained about television, both in terms of bad behavior of fictional characters and tone of news shows.

At this point, though, young people are far more likely to doom scroll, fantasize about influence or whatever online than they are to be watching television.

It's also worth noting that this is a "teen mental health crisis"- television has been around long enough for several generations to go through teenage years without a similar experience.
Ask off as we’re talking about off topic substack shenanigans… I absolutely deplore the pop up on every single substack blog trying to get me to subscribe after, what, 100-200 words? I have no idea who the author is or what the article is even about at this point. I will not be subscribing. I’m definitely not logging in. It’s ridiculous and completely cheapens the content.
Only if they also include the random seed they used for the initial weights, otherwise you may be able to reproduce similar performance but will not likely obtain their same weights.
I have the related theory that the whole Santa Clause and Easter Bunny lie thing makes children more likely to believe in conspiracy theories. If all adults, including the weatherman conspire to lie to me for no actual gain, why wouldn't politicians and media personalities conspire to lie to me about the earth being flat or climate change if there is profit or power to be had?
I'm very curious what will happen to the drinking age in the US if full self driving cars ever come to be. The justification for adults age 18-20 being denied the ability to drink alcohol was the outsized frequency with which drivers in that age group ended up in wrecks while intoxicated. If they're no longer driving, that restriction on their liberty is more difficult to justify.

NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super, 4070 Ti Super, 4070 Super: Caratteristiche e Prezzi Trapelati

Nell’atteso CES 2024, NVIDIA ha presentato ufficialmente la serie RTX 4000 Super, rivelando dettagli su tre potenti schede grafiche: la RTX 4080 Super, la 4070 Ti Super e la 4070 Super. Le anticipazioni si sono concentrate sulle specifiche e i prezzi di questi nuovi componenti.

Dettagli delle Schede Grafiche: La RTX 4080 Super manterrà i 16GB di VRAM, ma con un aumento significativo delle CUDA core rispetto al suo predecessore. La confrontiamo con la RTX 3080 Ti e la 2080 Super, evidenziando un notevole salto in termini di prestazioni ed efficienza.

La 4070 Ti Super avrà un miglioramento nel sistema di memoria, passando dai 12GB della versione standard ai 16GB della nuova GPU. Questo ha comportato un aumento dell’interfaccia di memoria a 256-bit e un incremento della banda da 504 GB/s a 672 GB/s.

Prezzi e Confronti: La sorpresa riguarda i prezzi trapelati, apparentemente in linea o addirittura inferiori rispetto ai modelli precedenti. La RTX 4080 Super dovrebbe avere un MSRP di $999, $200 in meno rispetto al suo predecessore. La 4070 Ti Super sembra essere a $799 e la 4070 Super a $599.

Conclusione: Con queste rivelazioni, NVIDIA ha scatenato aspettative e confronti con le generazioni precedenti, mentre AMD si prepara a lanciare la RX 7600 XT 16GB. L’attenzione ora si sposta sul modo in cui la concorrenza reagirà a queste novità nel panorama delle schede grafiche di fascia alta.
