Old plants were often designed such that at peak production, they would saturate the grid connection.

If you re-power that plant with more efficient panels, your production will sometimes be capped by the grid connection. But it’s fine because you will have significantly higher production in the morning and evening hours.

This can make financial sense.

I hope they put the used panels on the second hand market, such that users with different economics ( home installs, countries with lower labour and land costs) can buy and use them.
> Just try to avoid kissing your same sex partner in public.

Well, I don't do that with my opposite-sex partner in public in the US either, so I don't think it would be that difficult regardless of my partner's sex or the country I am in.

Just to be clear, I am not a prude or a conservative/religious person, and I don't have an issue with others doing that. And neither am I afraid of something bad happening if I did that. I just tend to reserve activities that involve any amount of bodily fluids to non-public places.

On a more relevant note, I don't see how your reply negates what the grandparent comment said. There is more to diversity than just sexual orientation. It is a component of it, of course. But you would be crazy to deny that it is still possible to have a room full of people with extremely diverse backgrounds and ways of life, despite none of them being into same-sex relationships.
How does this work? Doesn't Vmware's remote desktop functionality depend on their virtualization technology?
In the US where healthcare is tied to employment, the possibility of being replaced can literally be life or death.

Especially with efficiency culture where labor is often the first to be cut in the name of profit.

The fear is perfectly rational because managerial and C levels have made it clear that the person does not matter in the slightest. It would be foolish to outright trust management and is often how people are taken advantage of.

You're making an extreme claim without extreme amounts of evidence to back it up.

Even if one were to buy into your claim, you ignored the further, rather critical point.

By the time the US was the size of China economically, it had already given the world a vast number of prominent contributions in the realm of technology and science. Where is China's equivalent with all that economic output?

The center of the CRISPR revolution is in Boston, not China. The center of the mRNA revolution is in the US and Europe, not China.

Even Tesla fled to the US, where he did most of his work; by intent he did not want to be in Europe. If the industrial revolution was powered by one man, it was that one and he didn't do it in Europe.
> Would you honestly expect someone to know by heart what "sort -rn" or "uniq -c" do?

For people that program regularly in bash, I would. If it was a rare bash script in a code base where many team members didn't know bash well, comments would be appropriate. Even there, though, that's not the same as introducing superfluous intermediate variables.

The larger point here relates to "intended audience" or "what competencies may I assume the reader has?". This is a matter of art, not science, and highly context dependent.

Take an extreme version of the point you just made:

const x 4*2;

"Would you honestly expect someone to know by heart that `*` in JS means multiplication?"

Clearly that is absurd, because that knowledge is an assumed competency.

What about `**` for power?

What about `^` for XOR?

What about knowing that `-~x` is equivalent to `x+1`?

Where exactly do you draw the line? You can "err on the side of over-commenting" but only so much, because taken to an extreme it hurts readability, and will annoy everyone.

Responsibilities are distributed. Is clarification the responsibility of the author or the reader? What can I assume "a reasonable reader" should know? The answer depends on many things. But the right answer isn't a blanket policy of assuming incompetence and explaining every detail with comments or intermediate variables.
I started Java over a decade ago and by then no one was writing synchronized blocks when doing multithreaded code.
Replace LLMs with smart phones or desktop calculators it doesn’t really change that statement except the tense and though not false it isn’t a particularly profound observation. I am skeptical of how much lifting “impact” is doing here.
The alternative is to use the „labels as values“ feature of GCC. You can take the address of a label and later jump to it. I contributed the code that’s now in lc-addrlabels.h back in 2005 :-)

I also used the GCC local labels feature to completely avoid using __LINE__ anywhere, so you could have multiple coReturns in a single code line:

#define LC_SET(s)
do { ({ __label__ resume; resume: (s) = &&resume; }); }while(0)

Hey, thanks for the input. About the references ("Project X (cont.)"): Coming from a digital context this feels super awkward, naturally. But I come to believe that this might actually be supportive when it comes to navigating physical sheets. It might help to shape your spatial model.
There's an odd phenomenon where people become hiring managers and begin to think they're the sole authority on what other hiring managers care about, despite all evidence showing that it's an inconsistent, inexact science. Hard truth: if you're not a job-hopper, you have less varied experience of what it takes to get hired than those who are.
The fact that 'removing the “quadratic bottleneck”' involves either reduced expressability compared to self attention or disproving SETH is another reason.

The quadratic bottleneck is due to the lower bounds of exhaustive search.

The papers on this only ever seem to reference perplexity.

The fact it can append a word to "I'm going to the beach" that sounds good doesn't mean it is useful.

There is no free lunch, and this project hasn't shown that the costs are acceptable.

"I'm going to the beach" + house

Doesn't help if what you needed was

"I'm going to the beach" + tomorrow

I do hope that there is more information on the costs, or that they have disproven SETH soon.
Exactly, I expect those companies will come up with micro transaction like systems to extract more money from those who use their services.
You can use qemu for pure userspace emulation, without passing /dev/kvm. It'll be slow. Probably unusable for Windows. However I used this kind of emulation to build images with qemu from arm host and it worked OK, like few minutes to boot from Linux image, install some packages, run some commands and shutdown.

Docker is actually great for that kind of applications, because you can run it everywhere: Mac, Windows with one single-line. The only problem is that it's not very convenient to use docker images just as file containers, but it works.
I think you are right, but I never made that particular point.

Nothing the client is doing is unlawful afaict; I would prefer it if it was documented and easy to swap out the URL.

FWIW I had this exact issue when using vagrant/packer and it was always painful because we couldn’t target windows ISOs easily but equally we didnt want to self-host them on a public repo because of the dubious legality and negative speculation as we’re discussing here.

Those bobpony ISOs could be backdoored even if they’re not breaking laws for the client user. Would be good to walk through the legal way to generate the download link.
I'm sorry, what? Choking someone without their consent? This is not porn, it's assault.

Anal sex is not enjoyable? It is. And has been a thing for eons. In fact anal sex was a way to workaround getting pregnant before birth control was a thing/was mainstream.

I feel like we have the puritan point of view of what sex should be and anything that is not that is bad/not pleasurable.

So here's where I land: what whatever you want. Do whatever you want in the bedroom as long as it's 2 consenting adults. I don't believe that porn itself is to blame or be demonized for anything.

I also firmly believe that porn may provide an outlet for people to see and experience things that they don't want or cannot experience in real life.

Absolutely not. There are two opinions that I hold that are relevant here:

- If I buy parts that are certified to work together, and I use them according to their respective manuals, they should work as specified.

- If I desire to manually change or customise something, I should be able to modify whatever I'd like.

- As soon as my changes go outside the certified range, I'm liable myself. But as long as I'm within of the certified range, warranty should still apply and the product should continue working as specified.
This. Hyperparameter tuning and training include a lot of model specific black magic. Transformers have had time to mature, it'll take a while for other stuff to catch up even if they have a higher potential ceiling.
> As a result the change is perceived as an existential risk to their own job and they will go to great lengths to sabotage the change because of that.

It applies in some personal relationships too. Foster dependence, sabotage and discourage growth, maintain control. Yeah, ditch those people.

For organizations, you'd think that explaining the benefits for everyone, and making sure that everyone is on-board and can see themselves thriving under the new conditions (…or isolating and removing those who can't), would be the obvious first step, though.
This is sort of like the compression algorithm "problem." For the overwhelming majority of inputs, compression algorithms don't compress, and it can be proven that on average they don't work. But we're not really interested in compressing things on average. What we use compression for amounts to edge cases of highly regularized or repeatable data.

Thus the fact that LLMs can be proven in general to hallucinate doesn't necessarily imply that they must hallucinate in the types of situations for which we use them for. The paper itself discusses a number of mitigating strategies -- such as supplementing their training data with current information or using multiple LLMs to vote on the accuracy of the outcome -- only to basically brush them aside and advise not to use LLMs in any sort of critical situation. And that's probably true enough today, but in the future I think these strategies will greatly reduce the severity of these hallucinations. Just as we as human beings have developed strategies to reduce our reliance on pure memory.

This reminds me of a deposition I had to give a number of years back. One of the lawyers asked me if I remembered how the plaintiff and I came to discuss a certain accusation leveled at him by the defendant. And I confidently stated, "Sure, he and I used to have various conversations about the issue and one day he the plaintiff brought up this thing that defendant said to him." And the lawyer says, if you want to, you can refer to your phone text log to refresh your memory. Then I looked at my phone, and the truth was that I myself had spoken to the defendant, and she told me the accusation, and then I went and shared it with the plaintiff. So, I basically remembered the situation exactly backwards, i.e., a hallucination, which I was able to repair by referring to real world information instead of just my memory.
And the bigger question:

Why the hell are we trying shitty workarounds to dockerizing Windows? It's all dumb legal crap we have to work around... All the while, there's this Linux thing that just works.

And you usually don't actually need Windows. It's an application ON windows you need. So, try Linux/wine docker and dockerize it in WINE.
If you don’t like on call rotations then you shouldn’t be working on services that come with on call responsibilities.

However, suggesting that every Internet business needs to shut down after hours is one of the more out of touch things I’ve read in this comment section.

That’s not what on call rotation means. You shouldn’t be “working 24/7”.

On call should be a rare event.

I'm not trying to sell any one contact type over another. People have their preferences. By technique I just mean that similar to how you can play piano with different finger techniques (like pushing down on the pad of the finger vs tip), you can use your fingers differently on a keyboard, which may impact their long term durability. Different switches have different required levels of force, different spring configurations, etc., but it's also possible to type "harder" than necessary.

The ergo setups in particular forced me to adjust my palm and wrist positions and as a result I type softer than on a standard qwerty mechanical keyboard. In my case it was to help with finger and wrist pain (which it did wonders for).

Can't help you with the scan code failures there. I never had any issues with mine, sorry.

In the past, on older keyboards, some keys got squishier over time, but a dusting with compressed air would fix that. Another time I spilled water inside and had to retrace the circuits with a pencil. Some keyboards have issues with chording too many keys at once. But none of those situations resemble what you describe.

I think the main advantage is the ease and speed of use for people who want a simple, business-card-like website or a holding/landing page.

The main disadvantage is that due to the UI/UX of domain control panels, managing anything more than a few paragraphs of text gets messy really quickly. But that could be actually an advantage, as the DNS is not particularly well suited to serve large amounts of data, and the app itself is meant for small and simple websites.

I like your balanced approach here. Agree that humans are multifaceted, complex creatures.
As a member of the research community: that's nonsense. Publishing is an extremely noisy process in ML and is getting increasingly difficult for smaller non big tech collaborating labs. Reviewers' go to are: more datasets, scale, not novel. The easiest way to approach this is to work off of pretrained models. This is probably more obvious in the NLP world.

I agree that Mamba doesn't solve everything and it still needs work. But I disagree with the logic that there isn't an issue of railroading.

Get Insulted by AI
Even if a percentage just burned through it on drugs, it definitely would be that easy for most of the situational homeless. It would also help to prevent others from falling down the addiction/mental health rabbit hole. Being homeless on the street is a highly stressful endeavor, that constant stress exacerbates the mental health issues, motivates drug use, etc.

Just handing over that money to people about to be homeless would do far more than paying administrators to badly run a shelter that homeless avoid because they get all their shit stolen regularly.

>I'm saying it's amazing how Americans managed to be racist enough to make such a non-issue racist.

And you're a European? As a fellow European (balkans) I can comfortably say that many European cultures are racist as hell, to a degree that would make even quite a few Americans blush. I'd be careful about feeling any superiority over supposed European sophistication even in Western Europe.

Ask nearly anyone there about gypsies, jews or arabs in a context where they think they can speak honestly and privately. The kind of shit that gave Europe at least one huge holocaust and god knows how many pogroms before that hasn't entirely gone away, it's mostly just better camouflaged and with some of its sharper edges cut away.
Not sure if you have in mind entrance exams or something that's not set by professors (he mentions mid-terms). Or perhaps you have your local example in mind.

This however is absolutely the case in my country, exam questions are set by the teachers, and are graded by them (well, often also by postgraduates given this task by the teacher so they can slack).

As for the US, I did a quick search now, and found this: "Unlike final exams, which are scheduled by the university’s Registrar, midterm exams are typically scheduled during class time by the professor. Some classes may have two midterm exams, in which case they are spread further throughout the semester. Professors outline these exams in the course syllabus, so they will not come as a surprise. The weight of each midterm exam on the final grade is also usually provided in the course syllabus. Many instructors are open to telling students about the format of the midterm exam, as well as the topics or themes that the exam will cover."

So looks like it's on the instructors, as the grandparent says there too.
Most important lines for me.

It’s proving a bit harder than anticipated, not because the software can’t handle it, but because the signal to noise ratio of the web isn’t very good; a huge reason why the search engine works relatively well is because of what it doesn’t index.

Empirically, companies are very bad at evaluating this cost. If they weren't, upwardly-mobile job hoppers wouldn't exist because the previous company where they generate positive value would have increased their salary over the salary they could get elsewhere. In practice we see that the companies are reluctant to give raises, hiring costs are considered capex, and there are inefficiencies in salaries because frictions cause employees to stay in roles that are not financially optimal, meaning there's a premium to accepting the risk of moving jobs.

It was only slightly slower. (Netty vs virtual threads) that could easily just come down to implementation differences.

The take away, IMO, is that without major architecture you can use blocking code and get near (and sometimes over) the same performance as you'd get with non-blocking code.

> I also wonder if the reactive libraries could be refactored to use the virtual threading model.

You could, but ultimately the question is "why?". One of the benefits of virtual threads is that the reactive model isn't as appealing.

That said, it's definitely possible for the reactive libraries to simply use virtual threads whenever they do anything in parallel. That'd allow the model to avoid potential issues when calling into blocking code.

There might be a better avenue in the future if the JDK devs expose the underlying coroutine API (or parts of it) that powers virtual threads today.

> I would be sad to see those libraries go by the wayside as they do make a lot of complicated tasks simpler once you understand it.

The benefit of virtual threads is making things even simpler so you don't need to understand those complicated constructs. You just spawn new threads whenever you need to run things in parallel.
