I'm not familiar with the contract between Fujitsu and the UK government, but it is common practice in these types of contracts to have:

1. A sign-off process where the customer approves releases.

2. A bug reporting process where the customer is informed of any defects in the software and whatever corrective steps are being/need to be taken in order to fix them.

Although I've seen quite a bit of evidence that the Horizon software was not fit for purpose, and it had serious bugs, I have not seen any evidence that Fujitsu hid that from the Post Office (evidence does seem exist that Fujitsu conspired with the Post Office to keep that evidence from judges in various trials).

It's not a crime to produce bad software (thank goodness), even under contract. Fujitsu should face consequences for lying to courts, but it seems to me that the lion's share of the criminality here is on the side of the Post Office, and they are doing a (relatively) good job of spreading blame to Fujitsu for the bugs in Horizon, where the real scandal is the dogged approach to prosecutions taken by the Post Office despite very significant problems with the evidence which were known to them.
One of Meshtastic's common applications is standalone solar nodes that just sit on the top of a large hill or mountain and relay messages "indefinitely". There are a few in my area and it enables basic text communication even if there was no internet or power grid.

>there is also a place for large VC funded teams

that's a good point. i was at a large dev for a while myself and a fair number of coworkers have gone on to start their own studios, taking VC money in the process. a second dinner or theorycraft does need deep pockets, and the teams themselves bring most of the execution expertise needed
NaNs are not only possible by design, but are extremely common. Training of LLMs involve many tricks about how to deal with training steps that result in NaNs. Quantisation of LLMs also require dealing with huge outlier values.
Do you believe this is new?

It seems to me to just be another iteration of dealing with uncertain information: our neighbors may lie, our leaders may lie, newspaper may lie, radio may lie, TV may lie, blogs may lie, social networks may lie, pictures are photoshopped, videos are deepfaked..

At each iteration we had some problems but we adapted, it's one thing we're good at.

The point of "brain drain" is not to accuse those who leave of anything. The point is that, judging from the perspective of the country itself, or from that of the people who stay, having all your brightest minds leave is devastating.

And, as others have mentioned, forcing people to stay against their will is not what anyone wants as a cure to brain drain. The point is exactly to try to create the appropriate conditions to make people not want to leave, so they can help repair and improve the damage of many generations past.

Wait what, isn't the minimum temperature where Legionella will die around 60°C? Are you talking of a country where they (noticeably) chlorinate the water? I thought that was very uncommon, except for Southern Spain and Italy. If you set your boiler to 45°C in a country with (nearly) unchlorinated water you'll have a nice Legionella culture after your 3 week vacation.
They made an accounting software that couldn't add numbers correctly and destroyed many lifes on the way.

> I don't think one's opinion on the Catholic Church could be said to be "foundational"–for the vast majority of people.

> Some might.

I’m not saying these specific beliefs are foundational for everyone that holds them or even that those people would label them as foundational, just that they preform that function for some people. Being American is a huge part of some peoples identity and largely irrelevant to others.

It could their job, politics, culture, hobby, or even taste in music etc. But many people seem to crystalize around some external concept. It’s not as clear as I’m a “vegan” or “Republican” therefore I believe all these things, but identifying as something seems to have knock on effects. Someone thinks of themselves as having made it into an higher economic status and suddenly they have options about wrist watches or whatever. People will not just own a PlayStation/BMW/whatever but reject competing brands and think this then implies other things about themselves.
Note that we have no reason to believe that the underlying LLM inference process has suffered any setbacks. Obviously it has generated some logits. But the question is how is OpenAI server configured and what inference optimization tricks they're using.
swapcontext was in POSIX.1-2001; it was removed in 2008.

In relation to all this, in POSIX, there are often good reasons to use sigsetjmp and siglongjmp rather than setjmp and longjmp, because these also save and restore the signal mask. If you jump out of a context that locally disabled certain signals, you likely want them restored, like you would if that code returned normally. (It doesn't necessarily have to be a jump out of a signal handler!)
How do you prove this? I don't see any quantitate evidence of any sort that indicates that men are avoiding college due to political correctness or the Me Too movement. You might feel that this is obvious due to your gut instinct, but I bet that if you surveyed 100 men about why they didn't go to college, very few would name Me Too as a reason.

My own gut instinct is that the high cost of tuition combined with the diminishing value of a bachelor's degree are the biggest reasons.

Now that the internet is providing free access to most of the world's knowledge, there are very few reasons that one HAS to go to college to acquire knowledge.
Could you summarize what is great about the CL module system ? How does it compare to other languages like Rust/Go ?
This is super common, but the sound changes are less dependent in the exhaust and more dependent on the tuning.

In the simplest case there are exhaust cutouts that reroute the flow from a button push. Mercedes aftermarket mods are common here. But, there are also tuning changes that can be triggered in the ECU or timing changes in the valves, turbos, and other parts of the combustion flow with digital or analog input.

For instance, current EU emissions requirements keep a Ferrari F8 much quieter at idle than a 458 or 488 but it still can make the fun car sound at full throttle or with aftermarket modifications.

Look into the car you like to drive, there are many mods available, YMMV.
You seem to be confusing the economy with capitalism or money in general? AGI is potentially a post-money technology if you take it to the limit. Economy is a way of improving society. Money was useful in this use case for a few thousand years but might not be anymore; the economy will still have to work, though.
Helium is also used in leak detection machines. A friend of mine works for a company that makes those machines. Simplifying the process is: you fill an item with helium, put it in a vacuum chamber inside the machine, a mass spectrometer checks if there is more helium than expected. If positive, there is a leak.

They use helium because it's not reactive and it's tiny but not too tiny like hydrogen, which he says it's harder to contain. I just checked and the hydrogen molecule is indeed smaller than the helium atom, 120 pm vs 140 pm van der Waals radius. Furthermore, as many candidates as helium alternatives, there is too much hydrogen around and it's not clear what the mass spectrometer is reading: a leak or some leftover from the vacuuming process?

Anyway, they were hit by the spike in helium costs years ago. Not so much to steer them and their industry to something different. Their customers need to check for leaks no matter what.
I see :) thanks for sharing
The radio station does pay royalties to the artists. And in case you forgot, they play ads as well. Sure, you can "skip" ads by switching to a different station, but the point remains that they compensate artists.
What is this？
Agreed. A lot of the things that we humans do are not economically valuable. Yet, those help us survive, evolve and thrive as human being and the most intelligent species known to us.

> quick qn ? for the tinkerers -- is there a language these days that nicely interfaces with c i.e able to use all c libraries through ffi.

Yes. https://ecl.common-lisp.dev/static/files/manual/current-manu...

> without loss of performance or extra fu.

Maybe a small loss, compared with fine-tuned C.

> the language being small enough that all basics can be grasped in a day.

The basics, certainly. You can learn the basics of Lisp syntax in about twenty minutes, the basics of looping, conditionals, datatype definitions, function definitions and all basic stuff in about a day.

> the language being complete that it will remain the same in 10 years.

Mostly, yes. ECL has mostly been the same for the previous 20 years. I see no reason that it would change substantially in the next 20.

> while at the same time being memory safe.

Caveats apply here, due to how deeply ECL can hook into C code. Even if you're doing weird things in the C code, it's unlikely you'd accidentally run into problems.

> btw I don't think golang applies given the bad ffi story in go.

What bad ffi story? I've never tried to use the FFI in go, but I haven't heard particularly bad things about it. Of course, that could be because most Go programmers aren't using the FFI anyway.

I looked around last week to see if they are on the market yet, and found that Philips already seems to have helium-free MRIs for sale. I'm not sure if they just sealed it better or switched to REBCO.

> I hesitate to say the slaughter of indigenous would not have happened, frankly the British are simply better at hiding their iniquity.

The British indigenous headcount is likely only surpassed by Ghengis Khan, and I am not at all convinced they really went out of their way to hide anything. At the time, nobody cared about the folks they slaughtered and enslaved, and many Western cultures _still_ don’t care about them. They are the people that do the mining, make your sneakers, and develop your shitty games. They are the tech support people that are doing the needful, they are the folks living in the lands where we dump our trash - we in the West have _never_ cared for them, why start now?

The British didn’t need to _hide_ anything, they know that if they don’t bring it up, nobody else in polite society will either.
Sounds like that AI software needs yet another `if` clause...
thanks for reading and sharing your perspective! i'm arguing against my own interest here as VCs indirectly pay most of my income, but as you also observe the standard playbook doesn't quite seem to copy paste well
I'd argue helium being non-reactive is 100 times more important than being larger than hydrogen in "why we choose it over hydrogen".
We have self driving cars in an extremely limited number of cities (just one or two) and you can’t buy them, you can only use them like an Uber.

He’s overselling how mature the technology is.
It might be possible to reduce that effect by applying a mix-blend-mode to the layers.
Another is that a microwave doesn't operate at a set pressure, so even the same model will behave differently at different evelations.

> No there really isn't. The closest thing is "Rust after you've already gotten over the learning curve", but I realize that that learning curve is why you phrased your question the way you did.

I vigorously deny this claim :-)

There's an easy-to-learn and powerful language implementation, which I mentioned above, that has seamless interop with C (to the point that you can include snippets of actual C code in the source code).
Leave the house?
One other point about the earlier computation. Besides d^2 being 0 if d is the exterior derivative, there's another difficulty. Differential forms are elements of an exterior algebra Λ(W) where W is (say) a real vector space. Addition and multiplication of forms are defined; division is not. So before you can write "1/dx" and have it mean "division by dx", you have to first define what you mean by division by a differential form. The definition of the operation precedes the use of the symbol. I'm not sure how you'd define division of differential forms - you're going to take two differential forms, divide, and get a differential form? -but by all means explain if you have something in mind.

I still think it was a good thought to ask whether "d/dx" could be interpreted as "exterior derivative divided by dx".
The BlueSky architecture takes it for granted that you do. That's why they split up "personal data servers" and relays (fka "big graph service")

If you have 10 million people all spread out across small servers, how do you suggest I find everyone posting a particular hashtag?

yawn another libertarian blaming things on too much government.

I could sure use some more government right now cracking down on industries with oligopolies that feel no threat of consequence for completely undermining the quality of their products while raising prices.

Who says way too much art is being made? There are a dizzying array of video games outs there but there is still clearly plenty room for more.

The problem is the exploitive way we set up these industries. Right now we have most of the big game companies seemingly poised to try to fire all the bulk of their artists/employees in favor of ai and it goes going to fail spectacularly but the damage to human workers in the industry will be long lasting all the same.

Open-source sustainability won't be solved by donations alone. As highlighted in the article, donating is incredibly convenient nowadays, so when companies or individuals don't contribute, it's typically due to a lack of willingness.

To take on and compete with the proprietary model, one must generate comparable revenues and attract similar levels of investment. The solution to open-source sustainability is straightforward: people pay for what they genuinely need. Commercial open-source excels in this aspect!

However, as you may know, it comes with its challenges. When a company profits from an open-source program, decision-making authority about what to implement or exclude lies firmly with that company, diverging from the open-source ethos. Yet, the real issue isn't the existence of a business model and revenue, but rather the absence of community control.

This underscores the importance of addressing the root of the issue. To enhance open-source sustainability, we must identify what currently works best and tackle its associated problems. This means embracing a commercial open-source business model while ensuring that decisions about the software aren't solely in the hands of a select few developers or corporations. Instead, a democratic approach should be embraced, where the user community plays a significant role in shaping these processes. Community control guarantees that the software evolves in a way that aligns with the needs and values of its users.

West is not just ugly, it’s also dirty, its streets smell
pee, it has no moral compass, no standard in anything. It promotes abandoning traditions in favor of degeneration and the result is ugly and disgusting.

Its politicians have orgies and organize festivals to run naked on the street once a year in the name
of “pride”. Art is not art anymore, they’re producing “artists” who put candles in their ass and walk like dogs for “art”. Same as poets or singers. So much nakedness, nothing deep or beautiful. There’s no more good art, novels or movies coming out of Western culture. Careful people even take steps to protect their children from it.
Maybe we are using "foundational" somewhat differently?

You start talking about "foundational beliefs", and I immediately think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundationalism – maybe that's a consequence of having studied philosophy at university

I doubt many people derive their beliefs from a hobby or taste in music. You can find people who share the same hobby or like the same music, even while their views on politics / religion / social issues / etc are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

I've read the same Wired article you have, it's confusing but it does not actually say that Sturgeon testified during the trial. Read it again.

Sean Sturgeon was not called by the prosecution or the defense. He did not testify at the trial. The defense hinted several times during the trial that the police had not adequately investigated Sturgeon for the murder.

Before the trial, Sturgeon called the Oakland police and said "I've killed 8 and half people, but I didn't kill Nina." The police didn't know what to do with the 'half' part, and discounted him as a crank.

No, time has nothing to do with this. The point is that two points separated by an object in 3D space (say, a point inside a box and one outside the box) can be connected by something in 4D space, just like two points on a 2D plane on opposite sides of a river can be connected by a bridge in 3D space.

The time dimension is entirely separate. You always travel a distance in the time dimensions, in space the distance just exists, there is no concept of traveling without time. This is also visible in the math of SR - the time dimension is different from the three spatial dimensions (opposite sign in the distance metric).
