A reasonable concern.

It has often struck me that intelligence could also be gathered using civilian infrastructure. There are a lot of cameras out there, things like cars are tracked. Overall traffic movements, particular images showing something like a military vehicle, and an individuals private vehicle's movements can all yield a lot of information if a lot is available.
No I did not mean to include stdio.h twice. I don’t think I am doing that either?
I'm inspired to slim down my own app. Any good tools or techniques out there to identify what's causing bloat?
Not accessible via Tor or currently hugged to death?
To think that Navalny or his wife are in any way leftists is insane. They were leaning more towards nationalism (just for Russia instead of the US).

In the face of current events though, that can be overlooked as it is not a narrative that serves western interest.

But to give an anecdote about an alternative, I rarely see any bigotry on Mastodon. Instances which allow that or don't moderate it correctly get block listed by instances I like. These instances may defederate into their own bubble in which they can still exist but cause no harm to the general timeline. Yet everyone still remains the freedom to express themselves.
I like this because it's just a natural way of how to solve this problem for the end user.
I love what Resend are doing and am a customer. I can also absolutely empathise as our lead engineer did exactly the same thing at a startup I was running a decade ago. It's a horrible situation.

But yeah, both the incident and the report are really tough to read. It would be great if they can do a follow-up with further actions they're taking.

There's a neo-bank called Revolut that allegedly at one point had just two teams: "go fast" and "don't screw it up". I feel like an infrastructure play needs some dedicated hires in camp 2.
This page doesn't seem to be linked from any other public page, so I think it was a response to unwanted complaints from users who tried to track the "oodle" thing in the error log---like SQLite back in 2006 [1].

Haven't you heard? AI will replace all of us in our jobs by like 2027

Just like teslas became fully autonomous in 2014 and replaced all human drivers as saint Elon Musk prophecised
That's… an assumption. At least 3 motherboard vendors are affected, and going by the Gigabyte/MSI workarounds at the end of the article, it looks like things need to be adjusted away from Intel defaults.

…it'll need a statement from Intel for some clarity on this…
These stories always make me wonder what those colleges and universities are teaching when it can allegedly be so easily replaced with AI-generated content. The times when writing fluffy, unoriginal essays would constitute a "soft skill" are definitely gone.

Anyway, until AI tools become standard, my advice to students and researchers is to use version control systems to document every step of the evolution of a paper. That's what I'm going to do while I'm still in Academia (not that I plan to stay, after 16 years I've had enough of this nonsense).
That is a bit unfair, as it is intentionally not doing so. You may disagree with it, sure, but as it stands I think your comment implies oversight or immaturity, which is evidently not the case reading the discussion on the issue you linked.
>default overclock too much

Per the article MSI literally suggests to OC the CPU to fix the problem
TestGen-LLM: Meta's LLM-based test generator
Google, internally, is pretty up front that there's a forced distribution (or quota) for performance ratings and promotions. It's for budgetary reasons, and it's not strictly enforced, but it's published and often referred to. Past a certain level, a business justification is also needed in addition to merit.

The quota the manager was referring to was very likely that.
Yes. Props to Oodle for not passing on the hot potato but trying to get the root cause fixed. This hack would have been the easy way out for them so their product doesn't get blamed.
It's linked from https://www.radgametools.com/tech.htm (click "support" at the top, look next to "Oodle" logo → "Note: If you are having trouble with an Intel 13900K or 14900K CPU, please [[read this page]].")
As noted in the linked page, this issue would affect any heavy use of CPU. Oodle happened to be optimized well to hit this issue earlier than most other applications, but nothing can't be really trusted at that point. There is a reason that they recommend to disable overclocking if possible, because such issue is in general linked to the instability due to excessive overclocking.
I’m not, sorry for the confusion. I compiled the code on my macbook instead because it was too late to start my win 10 computer.

I think windows threw a similar error.
That is why he was not promoted, which does not imply, that that would have been the reason for him to be promoted. As you can clearly see, the performance was such, that he should have been promoted, but he wasn't for being white.
The only way this is useful in the context of code is if:

* The LLMs have a sufficient "understanding" of the request and of how to write code to fulfill the request

* Have a way to validate the suggestion by actually executing the code (at least during training) and inspecting the output

From what I've seen we are still far away from that, Copilot and GPT-4 seem heavily reliant on very well-commented code and on sources like Stackoverflow
Congrats on the launch, looks neat!

> and b) building my own frontend (probably via React, and then maybe via formik)

There's also a new technology called HTML. It comes with a <form> tag, <input> field tags, and even a <button> to submit!

Although new, they managed to get all browsers on board to support it.

You will not need to import 150kb of JavaScript, though, which is sad. And it's not shiny to speak about in the interview for your next job.

I guess the pros dont overweight these cons... Yes, "probably via React" is the way!
Perhaps, but America is a state where the Rule of Law has power. Undermining the Rule of Law for individual cases like this is not worth it.
The article addresses this very point, using the example of climate change:

> it will be VERY plausible for an AI to simply conclude that it should proceed with the most expedient way to delete ~95% of humans.

The elimination of ~95% of humans is a realistic way of "solving" climate change, without bending reality. It just so happens that this is not a morally acceptable solution to most of us. In other words, it is not an issue of people bending reality, it is an issue of the reality being far more complicated than humans programmers can fathom, and consequently, that humans programming an AI to address real issues will be inherently limited by their own imagination of what the solutions to those issue most might be.

In other words, woke programmers may be bending reality due to their biases and limitations, leading to unacceptable outcomes from their AI, but don't be so arrogant as to think that your own biases and limitations aren't going to yield equally unacceptable output.
Unfortunately these sort of mistakes are seen as a "right of passage" for many developers. I ran "`DELETE FROM users;` without a WHERE clause against production in my first year on the job. I felt absolutely terrible. I thought I was connected to a development machine.

Fortunately we had backups available.

Often this isn't a problem with the individual developer itself, but points to a problem with the organization. Frankly most developers shouldn't have access to a production database, let alone mutable access.

One major concern is loss of data, but another is privacy.

It's so frustrating to see this happening when there are tools that solve this like Snaplet (I'm a founder), and Replibyte that allow you to generate or obfuscate data for usage in dev-environments, and Neon that allows you to branch your database.
It actually depends, developer can block you from using the app until you update, either themselves or through Play Store's 'Immediate updates'.

It’s clear we’re rapidly getting to the point that geo-engineering is becoming necessary not optional, despite the risks (which can be pretty big). I’m happy to support such an endeavour with a single proviso: that not one cent of money is directed to any company or parent company involved in the decades long campaign to deny science, subvert policy and delay action. Those bastards can fuck off and die if they think they can profit off the problem and then profit off the solution.
Serious question: what is the issue with these paritcular sizes? I know that features/look these websites have are definitely achievable with less JS at a higher engineering cost, but what's the problem with it? 10MB loads in two seconds on an okay-ish desktop connection (correct me if I'm wrong, but most of people don't deploy Vercel apps from their phone from a mountain range with 3G connection). The experience on the websites mentioned is smooth as it can only get; everything is super fast and nice. Every subsequent click is just instant action. That's how web should look like.

Is the problem here that they perform poorly on slower computers/connections? Is it even true? Is there an audience of developers who can't use Vercel or GitLab productively because of that? Any metrics to support that? IMHO optimizing against bundle size/JS sent over the network is one of the worst metrics for performance I could imagine.
Ooh, thank you! I looked so long at the Oodle section and skimmed other sections as well (even searched for the `oodleintel.htm` link in their source codes), but somehow missed that...
Publishers were squeezed out not by ZIRP but by ad networks, iframes in apps and influencers replacing them as the power users of social media

As others have suggested the code should be refactored for testing so that the opening and reading of the file contents is separated from the processing of those contents, and futher separated from opening and writing out the converted text. Then each of these can be tested in isolation, with the conversion tests just specifying the input and output text inline in each test.

If you're relying on external files or an external environment then you're not writing unit tests but integration tests, since you're integrating multiple components together.

Edit:
Another option to test this sort of code is to just write a simple command line program where you pass the input and output file as parameters. Then you can use an external testing framework (like CTest) or tool (like a simple script) to run through the input text files and compare them to expected output text files.
It's still grim. All the "signals" we have are from the hypeworks. It's fascinating, actually, how basically nobody in the media had the guts to be honest & neutral, and state the obvious fact that things aren't looking _that_ good.
So in your view well regulated telephone networks could not feasibly ensure every call has origin data? Not even to the level of upstream origin to the suppliers network?

In other words, they have no idea where calls enter their network from; a corollary of which is they don't know which company to bill for any of the calls they terminate.

Companies purposefully allow false origins for call centres, and purposefully carry calls from spammers for financial reasons (they get paid). It's not a technical problem.

What you describe is an historic problem, not a technical inability to act.
If you don’t have some form of automated throttling, couldn’t that still become costly if a popular webpage started pulling resources from that bucket?

If so, their warning could have been phrased better, but isn’t incorrect.
So much this.

I'm a Emacs guy, and still use it when staging/stashing/committing stuff, but when I rediscovered JetBrains tools, it was such a joy to use, I've used WebStorm (with Datagrip paid plugin) as my daily driver ever since.

I like Emacs but JetBrains stuff just work without needing to search obscure config on the web, it's a breath of fresh air.
quote: However, this problem does not only affect Oodle, and machines that suffer from this instability will also exhibit failures in standard benchmark and stress test programs.

It sounds like a hardware issue, i'm guessing over-agressive memory/cpu tuning, underpowered PSU triggering off behaviour etc. The fact that replacing the processor makes the problem go away does not in itself point to the processor as the issue - you may find that changing the memory also 'fixes' the problem.
Read the article; they are not shutting down.

I have a large and complex (ERP/MRP/inventory system for electronics) ClojureScript application and I was worried about my compiled code size being around 2.45MB.

This puts it into perspective. I heard complaints about ClojureScript applications being large, which I think is true if you write a "Hello, world!" program, but not true for complex applications.

Also, Google Closure compiler in advanced compilation mode is a great tool. Of course, since it is technically superior, it is not in fashion, and since it is hard to use correctly, people pretend it isn't there.

> "Intel's default maximum TDP for the 13900K is 253 watts, though it can easily consume 300 watts or more when given a higher power limit. In our testing, manually setting the power limit to 275–300 watts and the amperage limit to 350A, proved to be perfectly stable for our 13900K. That required going into the advanced CPU settings in the BIOS to change the PL1/PL2 limits — called short and long duration power limits in our particular case. The motherboard's default "Auto" power and current limits meanwhile created instability issues — which correspond to a power limit of 4,096 watts and 4,096 amps." [0]

The motherboard manufacturers are setting default/auto power and current limits that are way outside of Intel's specs (253 W, 307 A) [1].

Wow... the whole point of a vending machine is to get a soda when you want to have a soda, if you wanted to have a soda later you could get it (usually a lot cheaper) at a supermarket?

Indeed, but I do like the grandparent’s choice of “tugging” better as well.

The original story had the foolish farmer pulling the sprouts upward by an inch and said that he had made them grow taller by that much.

Maybe “tugging up the crops to speed its growth”?
I like to classify what to prioritise by how many standard deviations from the happy path a certain issue is.

For example, I’m working on a pay-as-you-go SaaS - so the probability of using the SaaS while your account balance is low is 1-SD away from the happy path.

Figuring out if the user has JavaScript enabled (SaaS is an SPA) would mean the user first signed up with JavaScript enabled, then disabled it. Id put it at 3-SD away from the happy path.

Keep doing this and work on the bugs nearest to the happy path.

Of course, the 1-SD, 3-SD estimates are just hunches.

Let me tell you something about this fancy HTML tag you are talking about.

It has an "action" attribute that points to a server you need to own and run a code you need to code in order to validate the input and store it in the database. If you are comfortable doing this, which no doubt you are, then you are not the target audience of this tool.
Oh, it wasn't a primary data structure, yet alone 'the' primary data structure.

It was just provided via a library and very easy to use. Haskell is pretty good about making user-provided libraries as convenient to use as things built into the language.

this was the most approachable commentary on a 1BRC submission i've read thus far.

up to 6.6 seconds variant, i see the point of pushing the envelope of the programming environment and hacks that might help optimize future builds of the language. but beyond that the optimizations seems to be more about overcoming the inherent limitations of the environment, which are due to conciously made tradeoffs.

i feel that once you hit that limit, we have reached the upper limit of the competition.

And the code is not at all economical. It's 80% copy-paste with little deviations. There is no attempt to save by being clever either, it's all just good old vanilla JS. And no zipping, no space reduction. The code is perfectly readable when opened with the "View page source" button.

The trick is - zero dependency policy. No third party, no internal. All the code you need, you get along with the HTML file. Paradoxically, in the long run, copy-paste is a bloat preventor, not a bloat cause.

That's a gross misrepresentations of the value proposition of a terminal ui. Even when you are fully proficient in all UI elements, most UIs --- with very few counter examples [1] --- don't offer a comparable composability of commands.

[1]: The only ones that come to my mind are at the moment are, large graphics applications that provide an editable history of all commands that lead to the current state. That is arguable even more advanced than a terminal interface.
