Yes, I think Deno's a decent analogue for what we're doing, though the Unison language provides some additional superpowers that we find essential. The https://www.unison.cloud/our-approach/ post has more details on why the language "needs" to change to get certain benefits. (This is not a knock against Deno, btw, I think it's an awesome project!)

> Interesting. Whats it like upgrading and managing dependencies in that code? I'd assume it gets more complex when it's not just the Unison system but 3rd party plugins (stuff interacting with the OS or other libs).

In Unison, there's an all-in-one tool we call the Unison Codebase Manager (UCM) which can typecheck and run your code and talk to the code database (we use SQLite for this). The workflow is that you have your text editor / VS code open, and UCM in another terminal, watching for changes.

So if you want to edit a definition, say, here's the workflow -

1. `edit blah` brings code into a scratch file, pretty-printed. You make your changes and get that compiling.

2. You type `update` in UCM, and it tries to propagate this change throughout your project. If it can, you're done. If it can't (say because you've changed a type signature), UCM puts the minimum set of definitions in your scratch file. You get this compiling, then do `update` again and you're done. It's quite nice! The scratch files are very ephemeral and not the source of truth.

For library dependency upgrades the process is similar: you fetch the new version, then use `upgrade` to say "I want my project to exclusively use the new version". If everything's compatible, you're done. If there's incompatible changes, UCM creates a scratch file with the minimum set of things to get compiling.

One interesting benefit is you can have multiple versions of the same library in use in your project. Unison doesn't care if you do this (though it can get confusing so people tend to consolidate). But there are cases where we've made good use of the ability to reference multiple "incompatible" library versions within a project.
> Also you have the right to check their papers, as in to demand they prove to you their commitments and beliefs, and their unwillingness to do so on demand is a sign of culpability too.

It's funny but points to a fundamental reason I got off social media. In healthy relationships, you can (healthily) infer a lot in a conversation because you have invested in getting to know the other individual. I can say things like, "You know I wouldn't agree with that," and I don't need to offer up dozens of pieces of evidence to prove it.
I’d not heard of Ctrl D, so will definitely check it out!
for us, A and B are the same Term since they have the same hash, they are just two different alias for that hash, so if you update either, you are effectively updating both.

In fact if you had the function:

double x = x + x

and you were to rewrite it to be:

double addend = addend + addend

Unison would say "this is the same function, no update needed" as it produces the same AST

Usually you can modify the amount of RAM dedicated to the GPU in BIOS.
> Who needs an actual model of cognition when you have billions of parameters and brute force?

Well, that is a hypothetical model of cognition. It's not a biological model, but transformers certainly mimic observed properties of brain structures, e.g., grid cells.
I believe most (all?) machines allow you to configure this through the UEFI interface (pre-boot). Search your laptop model and you should find a way to change the amount of RAM dedicated to the integrated GPU.
Oh, sorry, I had no idea, my impression was I often see correlated stories but I didn't know it's something to be avoided.
I've rarely seen cases where multiple commits per PR are a good thing. When that happens, it's (usually) that either the commits can be squashed into one logical/consistent commit, or there are too many changes for one PR.

The exception being that many ci/cd setups will squash your commits for you when merging a PR.
Since it supports Android and iOS, it seems likely that's due to a lack of demand and not an actual portability barrier?
Has anyone done studies showing how much people notice the difference between 60 and 110 PPD photos for example? There are many people who have a hard time articulating 30 vs 60 PPD as it is with computer monitors. How much of a diminishing return is it to go beyond 60 PPD?
Right, in my experience large changesets often don't add a single thing, but do some refactoring, which enables the change, and then add some new infrastructure and the individual feature.

If you split it, you can verify the refactoring is a pure refactoring, not changing functionality (much), can understnad the infrastructure added and then understand the feature built on top.

Of course often things aren't developed in isolation, thus preparing the review for isolating those aspects is work again, but usually that in a side effect leads to better architecture, as you look at the parts in isolation, leading to half a refactoring, half an infrastructure and a feature hacked in.
A combination of stronger storms, more frequent coastal flooding, larger wildfires, and more severe heat waves.

Of course these sorts of things have always killed people and right now the statistical increases are small enough that it's not unreasonable to believe that they're just fluctuations within normal historical bounds. It would take significantly larger increases in severity and intensity for many people to accept climate change as a contributing factor.

So it's not just that we have to wait for people in wealthy countries to die, it's that we have to have to wait for them to die in high enough numbers that the average citizen acknowledges that there is a problem.
Well it definitely seems to beat LoRaWAN for throughput, LoRA is cool for sensors and data blips but has such a low transfer speed that it couldn't even do a decent audio call, let alone video.
I think it’s worth distinguishing the text and subtext of these instructions.

The text might ask for a uniform distribution in order to override a bias. If OpenAi find (plausibly) that the bias is strong then you might need a strong prompt to override it. You might ask for something unrealistic but opposed to the model default knowing that the llm will undershoot and provide something less biased but still realistic.
> Screen sharing from my Mac looks distractingly bad, which is a huge bummer. (AVP apps, by contrast, look fantastic.) No matter how I scale or where I place the space, it just never looks very good.

I think a big part of the difference is that your feed is rotated and skewed raster graphic. That might work fine for photographs and movies. But UIs and text will quickly suffer from washed out edges when you apply transformations to otherwise "perfect" pixels.

The resolution of the pre-transformed image would have to be vastly higher to counteract the fuzzyness.

An even better solution would be if the UI could be rendered directly to the AVP rather than being a screen capture.

Sorry if I mistook your intent. However:

More objective looks at reliability put Teslas as a class very far down in any ordered ranking.

Really, you should look more closely at automotive industry rankings. This is basically fodder for the legacy media, which has deservedly lost a lot of credibility. For that matter, take a close look at media covering these things. So many of these things are gamed. Also look up what Peter Thiel says about incumbency, ossification, and lack of true innovation in today's industry. It's not that the emperor has no clothes, but things a lot skimpier than they're supposed to be.

Depends on where you live and which people you will be hanging out with that day (you can have multiple limbs - see this talk where Aimee Mullins shows off her 12 pairs of legs and discusses the context for each [1]. Limbs for Olympic running already don’t look “normal.”)

I’m queer and trans and I live in Oakland and I hang out with almost all queer anarchist people. You can bet I’d wear a tentacle from time to time and they’d all think it’s rad as hell. I’m a robotics engineer and I tend to like to be a bit loud at times and go against the grain. If I lost a hand or an arm I’d almost certainly build myself a fire shooting tentacle. (I could do this now but motivation goes up if I’ve lost a limb and I’ve begun working on replacements.)

I learned long ago that trying to appease the normative views of others simply isn’t going to work for me, so I trained away the part of my brain that worries what other people think as long as I’m not actively harming others. In doing so I’ve found a lot of people that appreciate this, and I’ve learned the value in leaning into it and building community with the weirdos.

If I’m going to my normie friend’s wedding I might bring a normal prosthetic and keep the fire shooting tentacle in the car for all the nerds that want to see it after the ceremony.

> Do you claim Americans would do nothing if killed in hundreds?

They'd blame the people who died. At least, that's how Kent State went down (And the students there weren't even trying to overthrow the government).

There's a process for peaceful transfer of power. Some countries have good processes for this, some have bad ones, some are in between. As far as I'm aware, though, no country has a process of 'Enough people storm the capitol' for determining when that happens.

When you don't follow the permitted process, this compromises a democracy's legitimacy. Now, obviously the coup was only carried out against the executive, not the legislature, so the resulting government was partially legitimate - at least, the legislature remained representative of the public (And the issue was resolved in the subsequent election).

But that aside, just because the coup only finished on the 21st, and the invasion happened on the 20th, doesn't mean that the weeks of the revolution leading up to it weren't intimately related to the start of the war.

Part of the problem of car insurance in the USA is that we don't really enforce people to be insured (1) and that the minimums are too low (2).

Here in AZ when you drive uninsured the cops can't even hold your car anymore. They'd tow you and you get to the impound lot, pay the fine and walk away.

That doesn't help anybody, as the person still isn't insured as they walk (drive) away.

If we increase the mandatory minimums groups of people will not be able to afford insurance and that costs votes.

This is something that is so different in Belgium. In Belgium driving without insurance and / or license (even not having it on you) is considered a big no-no. Hell, most people scoff less at driving while (slightly) impaired than driving without license / insurance.

At the point when you've written a term which is incidentally equivalent to another, the Unison codebase manager tool tells you that you're adding a term that is identical and lists its name. You can still technically perform the addition if you really want at that point, but most folks don't want two aliases for the same function floating around. If you do end up adding it, updating A would also update B. Think of the function name as metadata and the actual implementation as the identity of the function.

As someone who built various websites from 2007 through around 2015, with only one really going anywhere, I have to admit it's been very, VERY daunting to get back into it. I mainly used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front-end and PHP for the back-end with Apache as my web server, and now everywhere I look I see posts and videos suggesting Go to serve the pages and then all the stacks and frameworks of today. It's very easy to get lost in the shiny and never actually get a working product out, especially if you're used to the days of old.

With that said: yes, it's getting complex compared to how things used to be, but it all depends on what you're wanting to do. You can still approach web development the same way, but a lot of things have gotten "easier" once you learn them if you don't want the headache of compatibility and everything. You either adapt and grow or stay put and fall behind, which isn't always a bad thing depending on what you're wanting from web dev. Just my two cents.

The the enormous benefit of being able to claim GPT doesn't just regurgitate its training data verbatim, which puts it clearly within the crosshairs of copyright lawsuits. That's a potentially business-ending catastrophe, so this has massive benefit. Only to OpenAI, not to you or me.
Dell's BIOS has no option to change it, but it says that it has reserved 128MB for it.

As I said, Ubuntu has zero issues with handing 28GB+ RAM to applications, so this is convincingly a Windows thing and not something related to the BIOS.

While searching for a solution there's another person having this issue with a Gigabyte Z97-D3H-CF mainboard. He has 32GB RAM and half of it goes to "Shared Video Memory". I downloaded the manual and the relevant section reads

`Intel Processor Graphics Memory Allocation: Allows you to set the onboard graphics memory size. Options are: 32M~1024M. (Default: 64M)`

So the mainboard has no option for 16GB "Shared Video Memory", yet Windows 10 is causing this problem to him [0].

For me the "Works in Ubuntu" is what makes me disbelieve the BIOS-settings claims.

Browsers have a tendency to consolidate. I think "there is a dominant browser used by N-times-% of the userbase relative to the second-most-popular" is a feature endemic to the ecosystem.

This is exactly the same justification for why social media platforms must retain the ability to shape the content in their platform through editorial decision making.

>Tesla wasn't actually being forced.

Can you explain? So by not "actually being forced" do you mean they found the issue themselves and brought it to Nitsa, or that they aren't making the change even though it would be easily done by an OTA update?

In terms of inconsequential non-compliance, that's a risk-based approach. And that's the correct approach IMO. The difference is that risk-based decisions should ideally be made before manufacturing because it shows you understood the requirement and risk before making the design decision. An "easy fix" after the fact isn't a good explanation for not understanding the requirements in the first place. I agree this should also apply to other manufacturers, but the video is 1) looking at other cars nearly a decade old and 2) using a digital cluster and not a touchscreen. From that standpoint, it muddles the comparison just to pat Tesla on the back. It's like comparing a 1980s carburetor non-compliance to a modern EFI that can be fixed with reprogrammed fuel mapping; the principle is there, but it just makes for a bad analogy.

Also: don't spam the thread with the same comment. You left this same copy/paste at least 7x. At best, it waters down the conversation and at worst, it comes across as shilling for Tesla and sets your otherwise decent point as fodder for shallow dismissal
