> Most peoples pictures are not a statement of record - we just want to remember the good times with loved ones

Maybe so, but personally if I'm taking a picture, I want that picture to be of real things. I don't want it to be altered or to have artificial things added. That just adds an additional layer of separation between my and reality.

If I want a picture to be artificially enhanced, I'd be using photoshop or similar.

But I understand that's just me. One of the things I worry about with how generative AI seems to be going is that it's being used for things that further blur what is real from what is not, and we already have far too much of that as it is.
I mean yeah some switch to transit, but there are still lots of people on bikes. I guess I shouldn’t have said nobody changes their behavior, but rather that it’s common and totally fine to ride in those conditions, as evidenced by many people doing it in my daily commute.
Calling these processors unsupported for Windows 10 is dubious. The official minimum CPU specification for Windows 10 only mentions PAX, NX, SSE2, CMPXCHG16B, LAHF/SAHF, and PREFETCHW, not SSE4:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/mi...

There is a more general Windows Processor Requirements doc that does drop a number of old CPUs off of the list for newer builds:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/mi...

However, this is not surfaced to the user nor are there compatibility blocks to prevent auto-upgrades to newer builds, and the page specifically says this:

> Changes to the processors listed do not indicate or impact a customer’s existing Windows support and are intended for OEMs to determine processors which may be used in new Windows devices.

If Microsoft wants to raise the minspec to maintain a reasonable support window, more power to them. I can't see how apps suddenly crashing is a good way to do this. It has to be an unintentional bug.
JIRA contains more context than you can put in even most elaborate comment. For example links to duplicates, test cases, screenshots, core dumps, discussion with testers/customers, etc. And it's updated over time.

Would you change the commit message if a tester noticed something about your explanation of the bug was wrong but the fix still works?

Additionally the context is already there in the JIRA, retyping it in detail in a different format into the commit message is more friction for little benefit.
I want the complete opposite. Most 3rd party developers absolutely suck at UX compared to Apple or even Microsoft. Look at this HP monstrosity, for example: https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/articles/07LJBKFE51UG5cHJPEojwn9...

It's also a lot easier to learn the 2-4 dominant UX paradigms of the dominant platforms than the hundreds we have now with everyone doing their own thing. Doing remote tech support for elderly relatives is hell when you can't even rely on a menu bar being present/useful.

One of the little-noticed features of YouTube Premium is is comes with a rotating library of studio films that are available for free. I didn't realize this for years until recently when I wanted to watch Iron Giant, and it popped up as being on YouTube. These are "free with ads" to signed out users or non-subscribers, but for subscribers there are no ads. The catalog is pretty small but changes frequently and it's a decent perk.
The portability is weird, NetBSD has 11 tier 1 platforms, OpenBSD has 14. NetBSD has a really impressive list of tier 2 platforms, but how usable are they?
Netflix and Amazon are playing a different game than YouTube. They are playing the "we own (exclusive) rights to this or that content and sell access to it" game, which YouTube is not necessarily. The former platforms also didn't start out with their own production companies, but eventually needed them in order to synthesize more exclusive content.

YouTube does not have a content quantity problem, if anything it has too much content which makes discoverability challenging (vs. the curated libraries of Netflix et al.)
Crucially, however, the commit message is not documentation of the code, which would need to be changed and updated. Instead, it is documentation of the change, describing the reason for the change, what the code does to achieve that, and, if relevant, why you chose that solution. It provides necessary context to the already immutable diff and therefore need not be mutable itself.
It also protects equal representation and voting rights through power given to congress in the 14th and 15th amendment. As well as the Commerce clause.
7) Oh and we use A.I. to render product placements into your streaming content.
That document is grossly unfinished and doesn’t even appear to specify syntax outside pseudo ops and a few other things. In a few places it refers to the output of objdump, which I think is close enough to saying “whatever gcc does”.

I think you're probably missing a word here (or maybe some commas..or maybe autocorrected). But it's related to the 10th amendment:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

No. We had a NT4 server, handful FreeBSDs and one Linux. After several blackouts FreeBSD would lose file or two. NT4 workstation had no problems either, neither with registry nor FS.
I think you guys are on the right track and this is a problem we are struggling with at my client.

I’ll test it out with them and see what they think. I will say that we were originally exploring Bright, but we had to rely on telling them what APIs and endpoints to hit, and they wanted to embed an engineer with us to help us onboard their product.

We wanted something simple that we could pay money for, have it discover all of our endpoints, pentest, and return a report.

Sed contra ruah (breath) meaning that people are not of concern to God before they take their first breath - "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you" (Jeremiah 1:5). So even if people were not people before they were born, God cares about them before they are people. But then we have "Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" (Luke 1:43), said to a pregnant Mary by St. Elizabeth. If Christ is fully man and Mary is already "the mother of God" when she holds Christ in her womb then people are people before they are born. So we must be misunderstanding something about what Genesis 2:7 means.

As for drinking dirty water from the floor of the temple (literally, sweep up some dust and put it in a cup with water - not an abortifacient) - the trial is asking God to reveal the truth or falsity of the woman's claim that she is virtuous (much in the same way as asking someone to take an oath in court - the bad outcome in both cases is falling under the judgement of God and receiving in some measure justice for the offense of blaspheming by asking God to witness to your lie before men).
I wouldn't say so. In speech people just say "seven thousand ponds" or "seventy one hundred pounds".

Using "k" as a substitute for "thousand" is more of an internet written communication artifact that is rarely used offline.
I second that proposal. Or at least make all the FCC decider phone numbers public so I can robocall them until they make it illegal. And WTF does AI have to do with it. A non-AI generated but human or digitally created voice is somehow acceptable? There are plenty of voice actors that sound like Taylor Swift or Joe Biden.
This entire thread is making me feel like I'm taking a crazy pill.

A simple git log is considered "esoteric" these days? No extra command line arguments are required to read the entire commit message. If so software "engineering" is truly a dead discipline. I guess the "move fast and break things" crowd have taken over.
Predicting subsequent text is pretty much exactly what they do. Lots of very cool engineering that’s a real feat, but at its core it’s argmax(P(token|token,corpus)):

The engineering feats are up there with anything, but it’s a next token predictor.
Jokes aside, I get a consistent 1600mbps over wifi 6E which is good enough for me.

Of course you need an AP in every room to get consistent performance, but wifi has always been like that. And unless your applications use forward error correction wifi will always have latency spikes from L2 retransmission if there's even one wall between the AP and device
Only government picking winners can succeed when incumbant leader is generations ahead in sector with generations of knowledge mote and 100s of billions of historic investment, a big % of which was also industrial policy. The alternative to gov effort is nothing. Which is better than nothing and no waste (not trying), but worse than something an waste.

But real question is, when has PRC government industrial policy failed? Essentially never. Especially under pressure. They're inefficient sure, miss deadlines, but overall they have either delivered and caught up on almost every strategic sector of interest, except leading edge semiconductors. They even caught up on turbo jet engines within last few years, it's within single generation of performance, behind on reliability (hence operating costs). Which makes commercialization an issue, but that's hardly factor when alternative is nothing.

EUV being "hard" is to be quanitified. Despite narratives to liken EUV to black magic, it wasn't an Manhattan project effort. Before first commercial EUV system was released ASML had ~10k employees, Zeiss SMT had ~3k, Cymer had ~1k. EUV developed without any pressing strategic urgency for 20 years. It wasn't a massive commercial/strategic undertaking. For reference, Boeing/Lockheed/Airbus had like 100-150k in 2010s.

Also PRC growing at modest 5% vs previous 8-10% with RE speculation. 5% because without excess RE, PRC still has many easy growth drivers for recession. and RE is hardly an exitential crisis that affects development in other sectors. Only idiots thinks PRC economy is just a giant RE ponzi scheme and nothing else. US S&T growing throughout GFC too. There's plenty of money and more importantly, finally talent, to go around. And economically it's dumb to not dumb stupid money in semi, when it's PRC's largest import by value. Indigenous semi will save trillions from going to western pockets/western strategic industries. Simply not paying western IP fees / rent pushes inefficient PRC semi processes to be into commercial viablity. It pays for itself.
NetBSD runs well on older hardware, even old laptops. It is clean and no-nonsense; you don't have lots of daemon processes running that you haven't put there yourself. FreeBSD is what I run more, to be sure, but for old SPARC machines that I have, I use NetBSD.
The institutions mentioned unfortunately also apply to natural persons, otherwise no doubt you could just burn some homeless persons identity as the employer in trust to avoid these tyrants.

> In principle the inner working of an LLM can be anything from a Markov-chain-like predictor to a beyond-human intelligence.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. Next-token prediction isn't just the interface we use for LLMs, it is fundamentally what they are, to the very core. The training and loss function of the foundation models are completely oriented towards next-token accuracy.

Reasonable people can disagree about emergent behavior and if/how much the model is "planning ahead" in its weights (and what that could even mean) but it is emphatically not the case that the "next token" model is "just an interface". The analogy to human thought isn't accurate at all: we have our own recursive/iterative thought process, short and long term memory, decision making loops, etc.

A LLMs has no "thought" outside of next-token prediction and no working memory aside from its context window. We don't fully understand all the emergent behavior of a transformer model but we definitely understand exactly what's happening at the mechanical level: each token is determined, one at a time, by solving an extremely complex but deterministic equation in which the model weights are coefficients, and the output of which is a probability distribution over the next token.

There's no hidden intelligence or man behind the curtain. Whatever a LLM can do, next token prediction is how it does it.

> There's a ton of information that can be gleaned from people's reviews

Extremely unreliable information. Isn't that made worse if what you're looking for is subjective descriptors like "cozy", "chill", "cute", etc? Those are the kinds of things that there won't be a lot of agreement on.
My thesis advisor had a Festschrift conference at an odd-numbered age and when I attended I found he had a terminal diagnosis of brain cancer. It was great to bring together his students and colleagues to celebrate his life and work.
Touché! I guess I was thinking that there are often sub-classes of NP-complete problems that are amenable to much more efficient algorithms, and it might be easy to accidentally not try any hard ones. Turns out the author fully acknowledged exponential explosion, which I would have known had I read Final Words section instead of skimming everything after the intro!

It's discouraging that the goalposts (Overton window?) have been shifted so far that "company reluctantly agrees to stop harmful actions" is where we all pack up and go home. Like that's table stakes right? How about forcing them to divest the entire product line that benefited from misleading branding? Then we can claim a win.

My current mindset is that campaigning for legislation to override e.g. Citizens United is the only hope of reversing this trend. Does anyone have other suggestions on other ways forward to stem the escalation of US corporations' abuse of the rest of us?

Assembly is meant to be 1:1 with machine code, which makes writing an assembler extremely easy as long as you know the architecture. Machine code doesn’t have things like equal signs, it’s literally just a series of bytes (an opcode and operands)

If you want equal signs, use C
This is only available in Bard. The APIs for Vertex still say it's in GA, but then you have to call Google to get access, even if you are a trusted developer. And, there are no docs, just a vague POST request example that probably won't work if you don't have access. Even the Vision studio has it locked down for use. This was the case several months ago, and still is. Google's cloud service is great, but dealing with any humans there about getting access to non-access things is a painful process.

Well I have acquaintances employed here too. And my wife's case is not a single one.

Yeah by ingest I mean COPY FROM or attach via the SQLite extension. Then you can `INSERT INTO duckdbTable (select * from sqliteDb.sqliteTable)` or similar. I don’t think duckdb aggregate on native SQLite format will have any advantage; I think the native duckdb format would be necessary to see a big advantage over doing the aggregate in SQLite directly based on my reading of the duckdb extension code.
What specific, useful things in cryptography would never have happened if we had not been studying number theory for thousands of years? Even if there are some examples, would we be significantly behind in useful capability if we didn't have those specific results?

It's more efficient to work backwards from the problems you have and build out the math. That's what they did with a lot of linear algebra and functional analysis when quantum mechanics came about.
