Great question jotaen. For our ITN we do indeed require the open source to be in a package manager. We support 6 package managers at launch including npm, pypi, gem, brew and apt.

We intend to aggressively expand this (I have soft spot for Swift) but also have plans for eventually decentralizing this properly relying only on release tarballs that can be signed proving attachment to the wallets registered with the tea protocol.

I'm fully aware just how much amazing open source is outside package managers but we really believe in doing this problem well and that also meant limiting ourselves at the outset to established and reputable third party data.
> It's hard to find a company that that is in a better position than Meta now.

Meta has no browser. No mobile phone OS. No big email userbase (where the valuable business stuff is sent, not the "zomg lulz cats pictures"). I think Apple, Microsoft and Google are all way better positioned than Meta.

> Near-total dominance of social networking, chat, mobile ads, and now AI.

Social networking, OK. Although LinkedIn is MS and, once again, that's where the real juicy stuff is. Mobile ads: dunno, maybe. But around me everybody has Telegram (EU here and it's not the first country in the EU where I notice that). Telegram is growing quickly: 800 MAU. AI: I know Meta just ordered a shitload of big stuff from NVidia, for billions and billions... But it seems to me OpenAI is still ahead. Is Meta even ahead of Mistral/Mixtral? (a tiny company with a mere 300 million EUR in funding).

That said I did buy Meta at around $100 when the tech crash happened. I hate Meta, but now the Zuck is working for me ; )

Letting other people blow off steam can be an act of self-preservation. Insisting that people only ever do 100% work things at work or on work hardware slightly raises your low-but-never-zero chances of being murdered by coworkers. Or less ironically, hilariously intense bridge-burning activities.

Also most of this conversation is happening during work hours so I think we can infer that grandparent is being a little hypocritical.

This wouldn't get you much. We already assume the network is insecure. This is why TLS is a thing (and mTLS for those who are serious).
I have seldom run into this being a problem.

The context of a commit message is that someone took some minutes to explain what the context of the change is. Using their current understanding. Explain the problem. Lay out the assumptions. Given three paragraphs or so it will help immensely to figure out how or why something you/them thought was the case was in fact wrong when the message was written.

That is documentation in itself.

And if you make straightforward mistakes like a typo in an issue key in the message and you really care: you can make a note of it on the commit with git notes.

> Compare that with documentation stored in a .md file, or even a Wiki or even Confluence.

I don’t want to access a remote wiki for every little code context (certainly not Conf.). The code is just right there. Comments/Doc comments/commit messages are mostly enough for that.
At the time Meta had greater profits than even Walmart, thanks to very high profit margins. It was insanely cheap. The market was pricing in a disaster in which Metaverse losses somehow destroy the company, or loss of market share to TikTok. Neither of those happened.

Can't we just say that the key is to put something that makes sense for the first line, given that sometimes only the first line is printed?

I don't really care if it says "The files must be in us-ascii" or "Changed the files to us-ascii"... both of them clearly tell me that the files were changed to us-ascii.

Attempting to do the math is better than the alternative of going with your gut. The numerator is also an overestimate, not everyone suffered excessive cognitive decline.

If this was a critical decision (like it was for the authors of the study, unlike it is for the authors of Internet comments) you can work for better inputs.

Most importantly, though, we're trying to understand if that fraction is greater than one or less than one. There's a number that might be 8 billion or might be a tenth or a hundredth of that in the denominator, and a number that's on the order of 100 - or maybe 10x that, or maybe 1/10th that. But it doesn't matter, because it's not close, the ratio is still a million to one.

You kind of hit the nail on the head as to why it's done after markets close. By doing it after it closes, no one party theoretically has the ability to make more money than another party.

The easiest satellite to see is the ISS. NASA provides times when it can be seen from any given place. I subscribe to the SpotTheStation mailing list.

In general, you can see a satellite when it is overhead and illuminated by the sun. In the evening, it will appear in the west, moving towards the east ( almost all satellites go this way, not just ISS ). As it goes farther east, heading towards darkness, it will fade away. The ISS is bright enough to see a reddish tinge as it passes through sunset light.

Shooting stars go much faster than satellites.

Closing some positions doesn't imply that one should stop hiring for those that remain open and unfilled. What sinister motive are you implying?
With the caveat that I'm not an LLM expert here but have read up on some of this...

What's basically going on is that the LLM has "read" vast amounts of text and classified words in all kinds of dimensions. As it goes from word to word it's predicting based on all of those dimensions, rather than the Markov chain's simple probabilities. So it knows "king" has high values of masculinity and authority, for example, and "man" has high values of masculinity without necessary the authority. Likewise for queen and woman. This also works for connective words like plus, minus, equals, etc. This leads the LLM to judge correctly that the most plausible word to continue that equation is "queen".

With enough dimensions and enough context (preceding words to include in the calculation) you get results that look like reasoning and intelligence -- and although a lot of people have started arguing that we need to define reasoning and intelligence in a way that excludes this, I'm not so sure of that. It seems quite possible that what goes on in our own heads is not so far from this with a few extra steps.

Yeah, my bad, I took a guess here, from what I remember about when neural networks became the hot buzzword (again, after the 1970's Perceptron ?) - sounds like I missed, since the transition was slower than I thought ?

P.S.: "2010" was probably from this great Ars Technica article :

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/01/skynet-meets-the-swar...

It's not clear to me whether neural networks were already involved (though there's already some self-learning there), you can see a few Ars and YouTube comments mentioning them, though "genetic algorithms" seems to also have been a popular buzzword ?

Starlink adds a latency penalty of tens of milliseconds going through the atmosphere. Each round trip is four hops through the clouds. I expect most of this delay is forward error correction, combined with lower bandwidth of the radios.

On top of that, you may have queuing in each satellite.

Finally, the satellite laser links aren’t pointing exactly in the direction you want to your packets to travel. They’re at some diagonal, and the packets need to tack back and forth, which wastes distance. Think the streets of Manhattan.

I started teaching myself programming at an early age and have over fifteen years of software engineering experience. For the last 16 months I have been focused on generative AI such as chat agents and stable diffusion integration. Here's an interesting video of a web application I was experimenting with that generates web pages (including appropriate images) according to specifications provided by users. It incorporates text-to-speech and speech-to-text. The audio is problematic so be careful with headphones.

> But picking the next available address to attach to the symbol is not like that.

> The compiler always picks that itself

One of the best analogies I heard, years ago on IRC, is that good source code is like select cuts of meat and fat, and the compiler is like a meat grinder. What comes out of the meat grinder is hamburger. It bears little resemblance to the source code, syntax, or semantics. But, it is meat.

I'll talk about register machines with a stack, since code is generated on most architecture this way. But, that's not necessarily a thing that can be relied upon. The compiler will preserve "relevant meaning" once the optimization passes are finished. Side-effects and return values (if used by the caller in the case of LTO) may be preserved, but that's largely it. That being said, let's talk about what a variable is, from the perspective of a compiler. A variable is decomposed into a value, which may be referenced, may be changed, or may need to be preserved. The optimizer aggressively strips away anything that isn't immediately needed. If the compiler needs to preserve the value of the register, then it can choose several ways of doing this. If the value is fixed, then it may just become a constant in code. Fixed values can also be produced synthetically. If the value is variable that is set at runtime and referenced later, then it could be set in one register and transferred to another register. If neither is possible, then the value could be spilled to the stack. But, this spill location is not necessarily assigned to this variable. This spill location could be used for another variable later in the function when this one falls out of scope. Spill locations aren't necessarily fixed. On many ABIs, there are scratch registers, registers that must be preserved between calls (the called function must preserve them if used), and registers that can be overwritten after a call. How a value is preserved depends entirely on whether it must be preserved, and which is the most efficient way to do so.

If a variable in source code is referenced but never assigned, then the optimizer can optimize away any "storage" (i.e. stack or a register) for this variable. When the variable is "read", the value used is arbitrary, if at all. The "read" has no meaning and has been optimized away. The value isn't fixed to a random value either at compile time or at runtime. It's whatever flotsam happens to be at that particular place in code at that particular time. If the value is "read" once in one location and once again in another location, even on the next line of source code, these values could be the same or entirely different. There's no telling what the compiler will do, because the optimizer is really free to interpret this in any way. The only way to ensure that a value is preserved by the optimizer is to explicitly assign this variable a value in the source code. This assignment is respected, assuming that the variable is referenced afterward. Beyond that, we can't make any meaningful assumptions.
