Ah ok, I was assuming that having this be a fully transparent & reversible issue of representation isn't really possible - but if it is, then sure, then I'd agree, then it can be treated just like indentation or syntax highlighting color schemes.

But for the major issues like split between "lots of small functions" vs "one big function" even if the IDE could e.g. inline the functions for readability, but that feels a bit risky as it makes it difficult to talk about the code or document a functions' interface if another person is seeing different semantic structure of the code, it's as if they had different names for the same things.
The fruits are the bloated military-industrial complex - and yes, I don't think Boeing is different; I was just replying to a comment discussing it.
Noticed this on the modern object pascal intro page:

{$R+} // range checking on - nice for debugging

I want this (perhaps as a compiler and/or runtime option) for clang/gcc as well.
> Compared to resistive heat, sure, but a heat pump powered by fossil fuels isn't much better than a gas furnace. My point is that we need to stop burning fossil fuels for electricity so that heat pumps make sense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

Technically, heat pumps can absolutely achieve greater than 100% efficiency (considering their input electricity as a starting point).

It's also true though that there are also lot of caveats about their effectiveness based on temperature differential, maximum output compared to a furnace, efficiency with which the upstream electricity is generated, etc.
Yep. Even in the linked video around 3:20 the assembly makes a short 3foot trip on a conveyer. There's a cut there but you could imagine instead of walking the part that distance and back now they have half the next item already done. Looks like some are used as a small queue for the next station as well to give some slack to timing variations.
I did this for a long time and then realized I was dealing with a lot of bugginess where I'd have to restart cameras, things were wired to wall warts, etc, all to save just a few bucks. I got some cheap poe cameras off Amazon with built in rtsp and its been great.

Moore's law takes quite literally years to come into effect.

And the AI progress time gap we are seeing right now, of "amount of time between major AI breakthroughs" is measured in weeks, not years.

Going back to waiting years instead of weeks for entire technologies to be revolutionized is a major slowdown.
Agreed. It's so nice to be able to query intermediates to see what their output looks like and just check each step of the CTE during debugging. It was such an improvement over most subselects!
> That number is not 3x median.

You are inadvertently correct, but in the opposite way than you probably think.

$200K is more than 3x the median individual income in the US.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA646N

It's slightly under 3x the median household income, but it seems strange to compare a median household income to an individual's salary.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA646N

If we confine our comparison to only California, I couldn't find median individual income, but median household income is only 14% higher than the nationwide median, so it seems likely that individual income in CA tracks similarly: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSCAA646N

Optimized voice typing?

A special voice-code. Like Thufir Hawat did in Dune (the old one).

Because I can talk way faster than type. And if we could just iron out the bumps. Remove ambiguities and such.

Surely that's been done.

(Or even more specialized, for writing java...)
No, they're not lying, they have a bunch of systems in place to prevent the kind of abuse that they're allowed to prevent.

The fact that the law encodes legal abuse that cannot be blocked, doesn't mean google is lying because it doesn't block things it's not allowed to block. The position you're taking is "if a law allows any kind abuse you're not able to stop, you can't claim you're trying to prevent abuse".

The law is stupid and terrible, the lack of penalties for incorrect and fraudulent claims, the mandatory multi-week takedown even when there are multiple methods to demonstrate a claim is invalid, the lack of compensation for recipients legal costs (meaning that the majority of targets can't afford a lawyer to respond and just has to accept it), the restrictive and coercive terms that essentially force hosting providers to blanket accept every takedown demand and limit what anti-abuse steps they can take.

That said, u/kevingadd said that they're accepting incomplete submissions as valid, which would seems like a thing they should be trivially blocking - my guess based on prior experience in corporate America, they kept getting incomplete/erroneously filled out demands that were otherwise legitimate, and the companies sending them threatened them for not accepting the demands anyway - but I feel at this point they should adopt malicious compliance and require perfect fill and perfect info, and just respond to threats with "we get millions of bogus requests, and those requests may also target content that you have intentionally published, and we're trying to minimize the impact to you".
Is PRQL faster than the standard query model?
It matters quite a lot that it's bound by effectively no treaties or oversight by the population. Instagram also sucks, but there's at least a theoretical path to reining it in.
You could have two wordlists, one general and one for obscure words that you use for checking answers, but not for generating puzzles.
Because it still makes sense to reason about them that way, as weird as it may be. It's like the Chinese room problem, even though we know nobody is inside.

It's like when people say "our brain thinks that ..." when they talk about something we do subconsciously, or some illusion we fall for. What does that even mean? Is our brain suddenly a detached entity thinking on its own? Then what am I using to think? Yet, everybody understands what is meant by that.

So I don't think people keep forgetting that llms aren't conscious, at least as long as we talk about the target audience of articles like this, eg hn folks.
Just use target, if it starts with #, it's replacement, otherwise behaves as is.

You can’t scale horizontally forever because of communication. I think HBM would provide a lot more flexibility with the number of chips you need.
I think you're making condescending assumptions in order to explain away my different preferences, and I don't appreciate that. The feeling I'm experiencing is not anxiety at not knowing how to use the software or read the information presented, I am very comfortably a power user of basically every piece of software I use regularly. It's simply the fact that high levels of visual noise are more difficult to process than when information is clearly separated out and grouped and given enough visual space to be processed independently. Dense interfaces are just less visually restful. This is why I actually tend to prefer pieces of software with little interface at all, just keybindings, like my config of emacs. And I see no reason why being a power user would inherently make white space anxiety inducing, since there is no sensible psychological mechanism for the two to be connected in that direction, unlike the sensible psychological and vision processing connection between dense cluttered interfaces and a feeling of visual clutter.

Furthermore, my feelings in this matter extend far beyond user interfaces: not only do I prefer clean user interfaces with generous use of negative space, I prefer that in my books, and the walls of my house, and the organization of my room. If my wall was covered in posters and sticky notes, instead of a nice clean beige with one or two posters, that would make me feel anxious as well, and it isn't because I don't know how to read a post-it.
100% agree with you.

Qualcomm historically wrote awful OSS code that couldn't be upstreamed because it barely worked on a subset of their own SoCs, and broke basic function for everything else. Typically featuring incredibly invasive architectural changes that patched far too many layers of the OS with unmaintainable code.

QC then converted bad code into a business model, nickel and diming OEMs who needed bugs fixed to ship their products.

The idea that QC SoCs now have good upstream support is bizarre to me. At best, it means a few high volume SoCs can boot to console on reference designs. Forget about peripheral support for things anyone would take for granted, like audio and GPU.
I didn't say it did, just pointing out the attempt to preempt
GKI is short for Generic Kernel Images. Android kernels have always been heavily forked compared to mainline, this is not a new feature of GKI's. And if anything, the distance is shrinking over time, not getting larger. It's not Google's fault that manufacturers' BSP's tend to rely on proprietary blobs, that's always been common throughout the embedded ecosystem.

> If I can run a Debian phone & have all the fancy bits and bobs work, I won't feel so bad about GKI.

You can try Droidian, it's a Mobian fork configured to run as a GSI. You'll be running proprietary kernel modules and relying on Android's low-level layers (which is a somewhat unstable arrangement, since we don't know how these may change in future devices) but at least the system level and UX will be a plain Linux userspace.
Unless you'll be running this in complete isolation from your OS, without access to any secrets or env variables, I'd say don't ever touch this.

ChatGPT is not ready to be used as an agent like that. Running code generated by it blindly like this is extremely irresponsible.

Of course LLMs are not people. But human metaphors can (sometimes!) be useful in understanding, explaining, and even enhancing their behavior. For instance, techniques such as Chain-of-Thought prompting explicitly apply techniques that work well for people to improve the reasoning ability of LLMs.

A point I attempt to make in this article is that one reason reason LLMs are so vulnerable to jailbreaks and prompt injection is that these types of attacks include non sequiturs that are not well represented in the training data. I would argue that "LLMs are gullible because they are naive [haven't had much past exposure to this form of trickery]" is a reasonable mental shorthand for explaining and internalizing this idea. It's especially helpful for readers who won't be familiar with terms like "out of distribution" or "adversarial examples", but who would benefit from being able to internalize the idea that LLMs are easily subverted.

In other words, I don't think it's helpful to reflexively dismiss any application of human metaphors to LLMs. It's easy to go wrong with metaphors, but they can also be valuable tools for conveying complex ideas. Did you read the article, and do you have any comments as to the substance of its content?
The copyright notice on the Iliad says it is “generally regarded as being composer around the 6th Century BCE, and is therefore in the public domain.”

Now I'm curious about other games.

ScummVM and its backgrounds could be a relatively easy target. And on the opposite end would be using NES Mario gameplay as input and processing that real time to get consistently animated high definition results.

Are there any other remastering projects like this?
Exactly. Electron provides a backend which allows filesystem access, device access, etc. which a plain web app cannot get access to.
Ideally, laws would be written such that the only thing that could fill that gap would be real life social interaction.

Social media is, ipso facto, a bad thing.
> You are the first to suggest any such thing, in this comment chain.

I'm sorry, did you miss the original post: "Because they are at a child level of development. Give it a few years."

I extrapolated a little bit, but not much. They were clearly implying that it is on a similar developmental path as a child.
The demand for new software is effectively infinite. The industry is in the process of moving up a layer of abstraction, like when high-level languages like Pascal and C replaced assembly language. Every time a new layer of abstraction has been introduced which increased developer productivity, the number of working developers increased.

Learn to use the new tools. And become an expert in the business domain where you work. Developers who understand business issues are far more valuable than those who can only code to detailed specifications written by Product Owners or Business Analysts. Are you reading the trade press articles? Attending non-technical industry webinars? Networking with colleagues outside the engineering team?

I absolutely can't relate. The monthly streams for the first 10 artists in my Discover Weekly this week are 45k, 90k, 89k, 30k, 121k, 931k, 231k, 25k, 7k, 14k. I would have zero chance to discover these bands in the wild.

To be fair you have to push Spotify a little by listening to tiny bands before it starts recommending more of them because the "gravity" of popular music is too strong. Like what do you recommend to someone who listens to mega popular genre defying artists like Taylor Swift? She's so ungodly popular that they could be a diehard metal head and still listen to her. There's no signal. The set of music TSwift fans also listened to is all music.
It happened after I left so I can't say for certain, but my guess is they decided to hire professional translators instead.

I tried exporting the Pydantic documentation page on syntax changes as PDF, feeding that to GPT-4, and then telling it to be careful about Pydantic syntax changes. That helped it use the new syntax, but we can't feed in the entire Pydantic doc so it still didn't get the details right.

Is it normal that I have asked two networks (llama/mixtral) the same question ("tell me about most popular audio pitch detection algorithms") and they gave almost the same answer? Both answers start with "Sure, here are some of the most popular pitch detection algorithms used in audio signal processing" and end with "Each of these algorithms has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of algorithm depends on the specific application and the characteristics of the input signal.". And the content is 95% the same. How can it be?

If I omitted any puzzle with alternate obscure solutions, the vast majority of puzzles would be invalid. There are a lot of obscure words.

If on the other hand I set it to accept the alternate obscure solutions, that actually could ruin the puzzle in my opinion.

Take today's with BRA for example - it's a nigh-certainty that the commenter suggesting BRA did not know the archaic alternate spelling of BRAWL. What's much more likely is that they saw "BRASS", then checked ZE and saw "ZEBRA", and then thought "I wonder if BRALL is a word?" and googled it to find that it was indeed a word in a very obscure sense.

Check this google n-gram for a reference of just how obscure that word is - it hasn't registered meaningfully anytime in several centuries. I added in the word "quine," another obscure word, just for comparison, and you can see it's orders of magnitude less common even than that. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=brall%2Cbrawl%...

So what would start happening is people would find something that worked for 2 of 3 (which is easy), type it in cuz why not it might work, have it succeed because the 3rd option was written once by a Gregorian monk in a remote monastery in the Balkan Mountains, and be like "huh, well that's dumb." It's actually a lose-lose that would let people off easier because they'd feel like it was done just because they found something that matched 2 of 3 and happened to match the 3rd in a fairly ridiculous way.

Edit: I came up with a solution to this. I'll verify each puzzle against a full dictionary with obscure words included, and if a user puts in a valid obscure solution I'll display a message saying "Valid, but at least one of these words is too obscure. A better solution exists." It'll take a little time to add that functionality though.
Real question, do you really want to know where you may be mistaken, or will you hand wave away information in order to protect what you believe?

No judgement here but I am just tired of sharing information with people to explain why while interpretation of a complex model may be hard, we know the methods of how PAC learning works and some hard boundaries on what it can do.

Obviously we need people to push boundaries and assumptions.

But we have known about hard upper limits for a long time. Right now we are pushing up to those limits in what we can actually implement, but those hard limits haven't budged in decades.

People clicking on known brands most of the time now is a behavior that was reinforced by google.

Now that smaller domains haven't been getting that search engine traffic, people wanting to make a sustainable business being a content creator have moved to other platforms for a long time now.
uMatrix has a spreadsheet like matrix of features and sites. It's immediately clear what happens when I click a cell, a column or a row. With uBO I don't even understand where to click to toggle JS for one of the sites a page got scripts from. I learned it years ago but it was too cumbersome. I kept using uMatrix and I forgot it. I attempted to use it again now and I couldn't find anything. I didn't google for it.

I installed uMatrix on my phone and disabled NoScript. Of course I keep using uBO for filtering out ads and hiding annoying parts of sites with the element picker.

This is mind-bogglingly wrong for most cancers. Several death sentences have been turned into treatable diseases.
> I would flip that round and ask why people need to feel they have to talk about overcoming any personal problem on social media? Particular as I see it most often on LinkedIn which is supposed to be for business, and mostly used for business. Is it an appropriate venue to discuss something as personal as overcoming an addiction?

I think that's just like anything else: either for kicks or for clicks. Give people an outlet and they'll use it, either because it feels good or it makes them money or both.

To me the more interesting thing is why people feel compelled to engage, especially so when it comes to substances.

> Maybe sometimes, but quite a lot of the time there is an implicit, moralistic, criticism - the intent is very clearly "this is a bad thing to do" and everyone should stop doing it

I think people tend to perceive the "everyone should stop doing it" whether it's there or not with these topics. If I just say "I don't X", some portion of people will undoubtedly hear "and nobody else should either" and get their hackles up.

It's really just a topic best avoided if you don't want to offend people or risk making them think poorly of you, even if you aren't the one bringing it up. Which seems a little sad.

I have been using Apple Notes which is great because I can read/write in the moment on a Mac, on iPad, on iPhone, and everything is (almost always) synced and stored in the cloud. I have been doing one note per day.

I would like to change to a more portable format, e.g. markdown, but I am looking for a solution that syncs nicely across devices. Maybe iaWriter. Maybe just sublime text or even emacs and just put everything in a dropbox folder.
