I don't think a broken model would trigger that clause in a meaningful way, because then you simply can't update with reasonable effort. You would be obliged to try the new model in a test environment, and as soon as you notice it doesn't perform and making it perform would require unreasonable effort you can simply stay on the old version.

However you might be required to update if they do more subtle changes, like a new version that only speaks positively about Google and only negatively about Microsoft. Provided this doesn't have an obvious adverse impact on your use of the model.

The ridiculous degree of PC alignment of corporate models is the thing that's going to let open source win. Few people use bing/dall-e, but if OpenAI had made dall-e more available and hadn't put ridiculous guardrails on it, stable diffusion would be a footnote at this point. Instead, dall-e is a joke and people who make art use stable diffusion, with casuals who just want some pretty looking pictures using midjourney.
I was thinking about this a while back, once AI is able to analyze video, images and text and do so cheap & efficiently. It's game over for privacy, like completely. Right now massive corps have tons of data on us, but they can't really piece it together and understand everything. With powerful AI every aspect of your digital life can be understood. The potential here is insane, it can be used for so many different things good and bad. But I bet it will be used to sell more targeted goods and services.
There are essentially no mainstream systems that don't do this. That's why new systems deploy things like PQ3.

> What spectrum means in this context is that it's a multi-dimensional problem

I used "spectrum" to mean that ADHD is not always severe enough to cause outright disability, but the underlying problems can still be present to a lower degree.

The parent mentioned "procrastinates or can struggle with focus without having ADHD" (emphasis mine) and I wanted to point out that some of those people may also have some very mild form of ADHD.
I've seen a few videos of people discussing their ADHD. One thing that came across is "I can't focus" was too broad. Some of them could sit for hours on end mastering a video game. What they could not do is focus on things that were less interesting.

Mind you, these were high functioning individuals. They found ways to use their bountiful reserves of energy to earn a lot of money. Maybe there are others that can't focus on anything for a long period - I don't know.

The difference between them and myself (apart from that energy) was that I can, with a struggle, force myself to focus on most things if I'm physically comfortable. That said, doing something I don't like is struggle, and I'll procrastinate like crazy. But for them, it seemed near impossible.

They solved the problem in the same way I do for regular things I don't like doing. They incorporated it into their daily routine. Repeating a routine, even something a simple as casting a fishing line (which I guess is not that simple to do well, now I think about it), brings it's own pleasures regardless of the task. For me it takes a few weeks to add something to my routine. For them, it seemed to take months or years. The self discipline they applied to keep at it until it became a routine they enjoyed for it's own sake, was amazing.
The UK's National Grid has a useful document on underground cables.[1] There's a newer insulation technology that's replacing oil-cooled cables. Cross-linked extruded polyethylene ("XLPE") is used as the insulator. NKT (Germany) and Sumitomo (Japan) sell underground cables good for up to 500KV. The technology is about 25 years old now.

So the Scattergood-Olympic line mentioned in the article has been replaced with a more modern cable. The project was completed in 2018.[2] The old oil-filled line is being kept as a backup.

Yeah. GUROBI makes it really easy to just do something like

m.addConstr(x+y<=limit);

Where m is a model object, x & y are decision variables and limit is a constant.

The above is a no brainer for any business expert. Some solvers are a LOT more low level though and you have to think of the problem in matrix form and specify row/column stuff and it's a lot more involved and assumes significantly more knowledge of the user than the former.

My anecdote was about how new cars, including BMWs, aren't reliable as my old BMW.

Generally, I think a lot of older cars were built to be more reliable than cars are today.

The automatic transmission fluid in a new BMW is considered "lifetime" by BMW. BMW defines "lifetime" as 100000 miles. They advise to never change the fluid unless the transmission is being rebuilt.

Dependency injection has always been such a bad name for the concept. It is just passing dependencys as arguments.

Though the funniest part about it is that the things we use every day, programming languages and build systems, still do not generally use this concept. Your imports are dependencies, you should just pass them in. Wham bam, no more environment variables, ambiguity, lookups, multiple version ambiguity, rewiring challenges, naming conflicts, etc.

Well, you still need somebody to know so they can instantiate the correct dependency versions in the first place (which you could implement as a snazzy automatic dependency resolver), but all of the internal ambiguitys disappear. Replacing a library (with a drop-in compatible one) would be just instantiating a different codebase into the same symbol name which will get passed in exactly the same way as the old one.
I fully agree with you and what you said is basically the same as my comment. You probably misunderstood it. What I meant is that logical data layer (I call it data delivery, which of course includes translation) should not serve any other function, i.e. be some system with business logic other than translation.
One weird thing about the Oils project is that they seem to have so many sub-projects. For example, this release has improvements to J8, "a collection of data languages based on JSON."

This project also introduces FANOS, "File descriptors And Netstrings Over Sockets." And a YAML-like config language called Hay. And OPy, "a Python bytecode compiler based on pgen2 and compiler2."

Have they bitten off more than they can chew? "Just" making a new shell is a lot of work, without inventing several new config languages, a new network protocol, a fork of CPython, etc.
> [incremental parsing] I don't know if that's specific to tree-sitter though

No, it isn't. And incremental parsing is older than 2011 too (like at least the 70s).

This is how Constantinople fell to the Ottomans: they had very high hard to penetrate walls, but forgot to lock one gate. *

Compute lets you fuck up a lot when trying to build a model, but you need data to do anything worth fucking up in the first place, and if you have 20% of the compute but you fuck up 1/5th as much you're doing fine.

Meta/OpenAI/Google can fuck up a lot because of all their compute, but ultimately we learn from that as the scientists doing the research at those companies would instantly bail if they couldn't publish papers on their techniques to show how clever they are.
They don't have a short parser. They can be parsed, it just requires a huge amount of priors and world knowledge. Rule-based parsers are too simple.
Unless you live in the EU and have laws that should protect you from that.
This has become so seeped into how we develop dotnet c# past couple of years. Just using Microsoft built in ServiceCollection.

Honestly I think this is the most important pattern in my line of work. It has become so common for me. That when I see c# code not using it. It almost looks like another language.

Testing becomes so easy because everything is easy to mock out. Be it in a unit test using some mock framework. Or a real 'integration-test' where you write a small in memory queue mock by hand to easy your tests.

Object lifetime is easy to change and manage. Just how you register the dependency. As scoped (to http request for example) as transient (every time you ask) or singleton?

Want to do something before/after with some hook? Just Decorate the dependency and register it to the container.

Nothing feels tangled. Just inject the service. Call the method. Do the thing. No need to worry about cleanup or how to create the dependency. It's already setup.
I truly hope such biased AIs fail hard. Hard.

This is what happens when you take a good idea and you turn it into something extreme, that loses touch with reality.

Because it's Facebook, I can't say that they aren't planning that.

But if anyone else mentioned this tech, I would assume it was benign. Subresource Integrity (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subres...) is primarily aimed at servers proving to clients that their code is unaltered, not the other way around. I haven't personally tried it before, but I can't imagine why extensions wouldn't be able to override integrity strings or remove them from script elements.

For WhatsApp I'm not sure I see the point necessarily, but it's an understandable goal for Open Source and offline webapps or for apps that use 3rd-party CDNs. The main problem for personally hosted code is that the integrity string is also getting served from the server, so there's no reason it can't also be altered if the server that gives the HTML is compromised.

In theory with some tweaking and a way to pin integrity strings in a user-controlled way (which an extension could do I suppose) it could be a step towards allowing users to know when a PWA is being updated, which would be helpful for some security models. In its current state it's fairly niche and I'm not sure how useful the standard is outside of securing CDN requests.

Although why that would matter to WhatsApp, :shrug: It does feel weird that Facebook would be leading that push.

If you evaluate what it takes to update, and judge the effort unreasonable, that should be enough. Maybe make a powerpoint presenting that result, if you want something for the lawyers. If you don't see a way forward that leads to a result with reasonable effort you don't have to continue working on it until you hit some arbitrary threshold for unreasonable effort.

You are thinking in a too binary way. It's about getting insights/signals. Life is full of uncertainties in everything. Nothing is for sure. You must incorporate probabilities in your decisions to be able to be as successful as you can be, instead of thinking either 100% or 0%. Nothing is 100%.

> However, Webhooks are also generally not ideal for most users. Why spin up new infra to handle occasional messages over the public Internet? It's just a legacy approach that is on its way out.

I'm trying to be generous here, but I don't see any evidence that webhooks "are just a legacy approach that is on its way out". Your next paragraph basically highlights what I mean:

> Wasm will replace them over time, as we can now run the event-driven user code in-process in the source application and shed the need to needlessly split up these systems, over-engineering distributed systems to just modify some data before it goes into a database or run a little function here and there.

This feels like a "not even wrong" statement to me. Yes, I think things like hosted plugins are a good thing, but that is only a very small slice of what webhooks are used for. A huge value of webhooks is that while I get the notifications from some external system I can, and I want to, run the handler in my own infrastructure. While this may be a burden for some teams, for many others it is most definitely a feature.

I'm not sure if you're the author of this blog post, but I think it would have been much better if it just talked about how "hosted plugins" can be a good alternative to some of the things webhooks have been used for. But weirdly turning this idea into "webhooks suck" makes no sense.

BigTech, which critically depends on hyper-targeted ads for the lion share of its revenue, is incapable of offering AI model outputs that are plausible given the location / language of the request. The irony.

- request from Shenzhen using Mandarin => asian people with high probability

Apple doesn't have to standardize anything, that limits them because future optimizations and changes would break the standard. It takes several years for usb standards to be ratified. If apple finds a way to charge phones 2x faster but usb-c standard would be violated what should they do? How does that benefit consumers?

Lightning is objectively better. The wear and tear factor is for the cable side to be damaged but with usb-c the cable side connector is hard to damage but on the device end, the connector part that goes into the cable side female connector wears and tears. If it gets damaged you need a new device, if lightning gets damaged you need a new cable. This is one reason apple devices lasted longer than android.

Because of europe's decisions features I like are being taken away and europe can use android or subsidize the european nokia. People across an ocean with plenty of choices took away my choice so they can give the middle finger to the big bad american company.

It's not really a precedence relation as much as it's part of shell syntax. There are separators[0], and anything sequence of tokens between a separator is a command[1]. A command decomposes further, of course, but the only thing the programmer needs to know here is that separators are a different kind of thing than commands.

I'd err on the side of "not unexpected". A group of friends in a park in Tokyo is probably not very diverse, but it's not outside of the realm of possibility. Only white men were golfing Scottish kings if we're talking strictly about reality and reflecting it properly.
