True, it was an example of how “the same protocol” doesn’t necessarily imply compatibility. The algorithm negotiation procedure doesn’t guarantee that there will be an agreement, so it is somewhat secondary to the argument.
FWIW, the low voltage system is separate from the high voltage system in most vehicles with electric drivetrains.
Eh, I grew up in one of the most rural parts of the UK. It's overrated. The scenary is nice and it's a safe, quiet place to grow up, but if you had ambitions beyond local teacher it's a maddening place. And it's the filtering effect - the kind of people I get along with don't move to random farming villages in the middle of nowhere, so while I had friends, I never had that uber-close "I get you" thing. Since moving to London, it's happened a lot more.
In Greek only 11 and 12 are different, with 12 (δώδεκα = dodeka) being obvious to anyone who learned geometry.
What you primarily want in HPC is control over where your data is stored. That is is subtly different from where your computations are performed. E.g an HPC computation may use N heterogeneous devices and require fine-grained control over how data is communicated between those devices. The examples with "locales" are too blunt to handle such scenarios.

I find myself sympathetic to people like Oxman that are catching strays. Attacking someone's family as a proxy isn't holding them accountable, it is bullying.

Bummer. I have no plan to get rid of the switch as it is a nice portable console but I would totally dig playing Zelda at higher resolution and framerate when the computer is available.
Yes but those students are enrolled in a program called "mechanical engineering" so it makes sense that it would be the focus and not physics.

I'm not sure how to encourage this change, but if we want educators to take software engineering seriously then I think we ought to disentangle it from computer science.
> Keep in mind this appliues to the execs as well

One challenge is that many execs see WFH as a privilege of being an exec. The modern corner office is a detached home office overlooking the pool.
The difference is that file systems need a lot of “mechanical sympathy” to account for the many quirks inside syscalls and actual physical disks.

There was a nice video about how it is really hard to implement file systems because disks just don’t do what you expect.

Databases are a layer up and assume that they can at least write a blob somewhere and retrieve it with certain guarantees. Those guarantees are a thousand hacks in the file system implementation.
It's probably not super important with the switch like it would be with the nintendo 64 or something because it's an ARM cpu.

When I looked into it several years ago, browser support for some critical features wasn't there yet. Not sure whether this has improved.

In principle, this would be a great alternative to proprietary PDF rendering libraries which require you to design your document completely in (e.g. Java) code, and to the typical LaTeX approach. You really appreciate the elegance of HTML+CSS once you had the misfortune of having to do a simple fucking table in LaTeX.
Hi mom! No, it's crazy, but I'm okay.

That would probably be the primary thing I'd imagine the parent is worried about. If you have a kid in a school with feckless police that stand outside while kids are getting shot at, then yeah, some parents probably are a better rescue option.
A good counterpoint. Not many people get it but you found something good. That's very nice.
One observation about private v. public schools:

Private schools, perhaps counterintuitively, have greater ability to enforce rules that some parents dislike, than public schools. They can organize around and enforce a general culture in ways that public schools cannot, and this ability increases the more prestigious they are. Families self-select to be generally agreeable to and aligned with the school's culture, and bad fits can simply be sent away. Public schools have to deal with whatever mix of families they happen to serve, period. Private schools are sometimes pointed to as being more-accountable to parents, and that's sort of true, but they also have much greater freedom to tell a loud minority of their "customers" to, frankly, go eff themselves.

An observation of trends I've seen with a limited dataset but that I suspect generalizes pretty well:

Better-off, if you will, parents, or at least those with a "higher-class" cultural background (Fussell's upper-middle and higher—doctors, lawyers, executives, in short) are giving their kids phones later, restricting use more, and are more-amenable to restrictions on phones imposed by schools, than lower-class (Fussell's middle and lower) parents. These factors tend to significantly reduce student phone use in ritzy private schools, "captive" nigh-private-school public schools, and the tip-top of other upper-tier public schools, compared with practically all the rest of the school landscape.

I fully expect this to widen already-large class differences in education.

So far we don't see that hockey stick from the internet in medicine or even most technologies.

I doubt that the Covid vaccine was developed so quickly because of the internet. The internet might have shaved a little bit time off, but it wasn't instrumental in the vaccine developement as far as I understand it. The development was a huge effort between governments, corporations, and science sitting atop decades of research. Did it make certain communications easier - for sure, but I struggle to see that as anywhere as big as changed processes in testing and roll-out.
I'm mildly surprised they haven't, but the reasons seem pretty obvious. Redundancy (in offerings), storage costs, and home network upload speeds.

Redundancy because the thing most people care about backing up is media and important documents, which are likely already stored in iCloud. If you care about Time Machine back ups you probably want your whole filesystem with point-in-time restores. That's a lot more data for Apple to hang onto, for a small segment of its target market. Of course, Apple does have 2TB+ iCloud+ plans, but I would bet that the average iCloud+ subscriber is using nowhere near their limit.
Because the known system effect means that the more arbitrary developers engage with them, the more likely it is that at least some of them will drive corporate adoption and, by extension, sales.

Can you talk about the attention visualization a bit. What’s the benefit. I have been plotting attention masks and even visualizing them over sentences but it obv doesn’t result in a ton of insight due to the sentences changing from words to much more complex vectors that represent those words after being processed through attentions 32x.
So we should let every company charge 10000% what they currently do, because some of the shareholders might be relying on extra dividends for retirement. Hmmm.
I was thinking recently about the (seeming?) increase in anti-science/anti-expert/conspiratorial thinking and movements of recent years (covid, anti-vax, 5g, qanon etc etc etc) and the (increase in?) use and more widespread legalization/decrim efforts of cannabis. I wonder if any studies have been done or what that might look like.
They don't incorporate the nitrogen at the pouring step, Guinness (and other stouts and ales) are force 'carbonated', stored and dispensed under a 75% nitrogen/25% CO2 blend, whereas most draughts use just CO2.

Guinness requires a different faucet to most draughts, with a restrictor plate that forms the creamy head. The plastic widget in cans of draught Guinness performs the same function as the restrictor plate.

The purpose of all of this is to replicate the head and mouthfeel of a 'real ale' that has been naturally carbonated and dispensed at atmospheric pressure with a handpump.
Pretty rich to say that when this whole drama is caused by Ackman launching a great war on academia under the pretense of weeding out plagiarism, and then throwing a hissy fit when shown his academic of a wife has done worse than Claudine Gay.

A Small and Vigorous Black Hole in the Early Universe
The "window cracks when you open it" is very common in most frameless-window cars and not a Tesla-specific thing. Most people never notice it.

How are none of these problems affecting people in Norway, where electric cars have skyrocketed to become 80% of new cars sales?

This seems like just more of the old windows-breaking-in-US-built-Telsas nonsense; Norwegian Teslas are built in China.
That might be, but then don't wonder if people look at you strange if you tell them you got burnout from a job where you never met any colleagues and didn't get paid either.
This really feels like a game of whack-a-mole.

Personally, I think DoH was a mistake. Instead of the network admin configuring the name resolution services (via DHCP, for example) each app has a hard-coded list of IP addresses that it will use to resolve hostnames. Instead of a system resolver that does the job we now have a resolver, complete with hard-coded server configuration, baked into various applications/devices.
AS/400 was doing this in the 80’s…
I think you’re assuming things that I don’t actually believe.

The OSI are scum because of their incessant propaganda against source-available and constant attacks of developers that aren’t being bootlickers.

If a developer wants for their code to be free for corporate use. Fine. If they don’t, also fine.

I am for developers getting paid for their work that they want to be paid for, and if they believe that licensing to corporations differently helps them achieve that, then so be it.

I create source under both open source and source available licenses depending on what it is.
I have Messages in iCloud turned on, and still...

Deleted messages would disappear in Big Sur. But read status wasn't synced for unread messages

In Catalina if you delete an unread message on iOS, it will disappear on MacOS, but Messages will still have an "1 message unread" badge.
I don't know. And maybe you're right - but I'd bet it's the attempt by the school the quell all kinds of complaints from parents like "what if my kid gets suddenly lost on the way home? what then????" by giving them a phone that has some mapping capability, it's just crap - but I guess it will do in an emergency.
>> given my current bland state, I will have a hard time creating and sustaining connections with the ample time I have left.

Recognize that it takes effort to create and sustain connections.

It is difficult whether or not you are in a "bland state."

Do not assume that creating and sustaining connections is easy for others.

A few guidelines to avoid maintainer's burnout:

* Do not allow questions on GitHub issues, it's a poor place for conversations. I find Discourse or some other forum (or mailing list) a better place to do that, which allows community participation (and you can automate moderation using something like https://github.com/pierotofy/issuewhiz)

* People owe you nothing, just as you owe them nothing; you don't have to fix an issue or merge a pull request because somebody opened one.

* Try review and merge contributions, but on your own timeframe. If people have urgency, kindly invite them to get a paid support agreement.

* Don't engage in quarrels; you always have the option to ignore or ban the offenders.

* Document FAQs.
It should be able to underpin most apps. The sky is the limit. Or your imagination is the limit; whichever comes first.

This is a protocol for generic shared information spaces, where each person still owns & can manage permissions for their pieces of data in the space. It's a general idea that's present & implicit in most existing online spaces.
Notice how they specifically use the word "open". I guess "closed" models aren't a problem, huh. You, peasant, can rent it by the token and maybe Big Tech will throw you a bone if you send it some queries approved by the content policy. But whoops, the cat got out of the bag. We can run decent models on a run of the mill gaming PC. China and many others are creating competitive models that are fantastic and open sourcing them. GPT4 is still the top dog, but OSS isn't far behind.

A lot of very big, influential companies are facing some disruption. It's VERY obvious why safety is being pushed in tech media. Eventually as they get more desperate you'll learn exactly why they spend so much money on lobbyists when they try to make it illegal to run open source AI models.
And the losers at the end of the day, are the consumers. Amazon & Apple are still making money hand over fist.
Funny thing is I live so much closer to friends in a city than I did in my rural upbringing. I can walk to at least half a dozen friend's places inside 10 minutes right now - in my rural hometown, it was a 20 minute walk to the nearest, and anyone else needed a car.
Maybe it hanging out with more leftists but I am really bothered with people who seem to think that when a black man or a white man have a conflict the black man should always win or when a man and a woman have a conflict the woman should always win. I worked enough at a mediation center to know that anyone can be in the right or in the wrong.

I think the first time I heard a leftist reject the categorical imperative was a friend of mine who I met when we were activists for the 2000 Ralph Nader campaign and what was one of the most active local Green parties in the US for a few years. He was teaching a course in ethics at a local college and when I asked him about "how do I make better ethical decisions?" he gave me a spiel about how the left is on the side of the angels and the right is on the side of the devils.

On Mastodon I run into people like that all the time. If you confronted a rightist about, say, Pinochet's crimes, they would probably say it was justified, just look at what Lenin and Stalin did. They did it (and might even do it again) so we have to do it too. Many online leftists (like my ethicist friend) would probably say something to the extent that "it's OK that we do it but not OK when they do it" which is right up there with people who take Carol Gilligan too seriously.
In the grand scheme of things, she's a nobody. Story of her plagiarisms wouldn't be listed anywhere in normal circumstances. This is purely spite driven move to hurt Ackerman by proxy by publicly humiliating her.

I quickly switched to Dendron from Obsidian because I preferred it being open source, and I liked the creator's views on the hierarchical search and categorization instead of just a tangle of wiki links, and liked the idea of it being a VSCode extension and then other extensions would also be available.

I think Dendron is high quality, and encourage everyone interested in markdown notes and Obsidian to check it out, and watch some of the creator Kevin Slin's introductory and overview videos or read the blog posts. He worked for Amazon and had to remember too many things and find them quickly, and that drove the Dendron hierarchical layout and features for managing lots of notes.

But personally, I'm not a big fan of VSCode or markdown; mostly what I want is to take quick screenshots and stash them for later - "here's how it looked before", "here's where to find this option" - and markdown is not great at that, you need to open 'markdown preview' to render your notes and see images. So you get a VS Code interface, and the editing window and the preview window. It's computing pre-WYSIWYG. And no way to draw on images like in OneNote. Similar with snippets of code and command lines, having to write them in markdown fiddling with word wrap and then preview the markdown to see them rendered properly in monospace isn't very convenient.

And of course hierarchy isn't free, it depends on me organizing and categorising (does this command go in "computers.aws.s3" or "software.amazon.s3.cli" or "tickets.12345678-Amazon-s3-client-weirdness" ?) which I'm not very committed to.
Maybe Aldi has unusually high professional standards. When I worked in retail as a teenager there was an obvious split between the adults who had been working there for ages (and were exceptionally skilled and quick), and the high school/college students who were there for summer jobs.

The majority of the employees were in the latter group and we didn’t have any special skill. I mean, lots of people work in retail when they are teenagers, so on average the people who have done that in the past are more experienced that those who are currently doing it, right? Unless there’s a skew that is causing people to stick around longer in retail jobs as time goes by.
I did the same thing on Windows, and when I recently moved to linux, I upped my game with Hyprland workspaces:

- if the window doesn't exist, open it (*)

- if the window exists, change focus to it (*)

- (*): on it own workspace, which allows me to run windows in full screen mode, without a title bar wasting space!

The workspaces are configured by a set of rules (ex: I have mozilla|firefox|edge => go to workspace #2 for browsers)

Hyprland is both a tiling and a normal window manager, so you can make a window either. I'm running one terminal in quake mode, with what's called a special workspace

I added a few dedicated keys:

- F2: send me to workspace #2

- Win+F2: reassign the window to workspace #2, say if I want to have a text editor to take notes while reading a page

- Win+Shift+Arrows: resize the tile, because I want a lot of space for the browser and not so much for the editor

- Win+J: toggle the tile, because I want the text editor at the bottom (or top) of the screen, not on the left (or the right)

As an academic both the article and the ASA get things wrong.

Obviously making science available for everyone is good, and the ASA has no argument.

But the article minimizes the fundamental problems in academia.

> 2. Academia is more open than much of business, government, and organized religion, so it’s easier for us to see the problems.

That's not even remotely true. Academia is more closed, more obscure, more small network, with fewer sunshine laws, than any business, government or organized religion. It's far harder for us to see the real problems.

> 3. So much of the enabling of cheating in academia just seems so pointless. It’s not cool when companies pollute, but, hey, you can see the reason$ they’ll want to do so. But what does the American Sociology Association get out of fighting against open science, what does the University of California get out of tolerating research misconduct, what do the American Statistical Association and American Political Science Association get out of giving rewards for plagiarists? Nothing. That’s what so damn pitiful.

Cheating in academia has great rewards! The ASA gets money. UC gets prestige, donors, etc.

The fundamental mistake the author makes is that academia is not one thing. There are academics as we've always known then and then there is the administration class.

The people who do the work mostly want to get to the truth and get things done. The administration is into face-saving, donations, endowments, insanely expensive buildings, adding another VP of something, yet another layer of paperwork for every action, etc. the truth and what's right isn't aligned at all with the administrative class.
My background pre-MBA was in manufacturing, not necessarily contract manufacturing, but factory operations heavy positions. If I did anything that was
"savvy" was just recognizing that it was a relatively great time to start a business located inside China. I was able to manage my working capital very well in the early days by receiving credit from facilities in China, and it was easier than it would have been in America. Then, we got into GoPro camera accessories like when it was GoPro v1-2 days. That took off and allowed us to grow into a contract manufacturing company.
I am totally confused by what youre saying still. First what are the easier ways of backdooring closed source models? There is some other way to get a model to output known vulnerable code in 2024 but not 2023 or to exfil data? As far as I am aware this is a novel capability of this specific type of vulnerability.

This paper from Anthropic and subsequent speculation are not just about this vulnerability surviving retrains though that is an important facet. It is also demonstrating that unwanted behavior can be hidden and then triggered. This is IMO the most important part of the research and the part that is emphasized the most in the paper: that a model can perform perfectly well until some trigger happens and then start doing unwanted behavior in a wide variety of ways.

>"If a company wanted to mess with API responses, they could just do that directly or swap out the backend model whenever they wanted."

What company are we talking about here? The company hosting the model as a service or a company trying to attack the model?
Pricing link doesn't seem to bring me anywhere.

> You can strong arm researchers into accepting worse terms, but that just means you'll get less research done, unless funding is increased.

Many of the researchers are absolutely fine with this rule. It's only the top ASA leadership and the rent extracting journals that have a problem with no longer facilitating journal's rent extraction from publicly funded research.

I'm currently trying to make this work for me so I can cancel all my streaming subscriptions, but the storage cost really makes it unreasonable.
