Anyone have an opinion of embedded-postgres vs https://github.com/opentable/otj-pg-embedded (of which its a fork) for Clojure use?
> It’ll be constantly regenerated

What do you mean by this?
I've had issues doing decent copies from SVN to GIT. They both have different ideas about user identity, and how fragmented it can be.
Don't forget the carpeting in houses and offices as well.
yep. they have a neural engine that is separate from the CPU and GPU that does really fast matmuls https://github.com/hollance/neural-engine. it's basically completely undocumented and for programs like blas it has more horsepower than all the cores combined.

meteorlake and zen4 (8000) also both have npus which are similar. https://www.pcmag.com/news/the-meteor-lake-npu-meet-intels-d...
Same thing for us
What would motivate false claims that alcohol correlates with cancer incidence?
No it wouldn’t. The imperative would be to only upload pictures of yourself/never upload pictures of other people (without express consent)
I am improving it's just really, really slow. My teacher is working on my weaknesses as well. It just seems like I have to increase my effort 3 fold to have a chance at reaching advanced any time in the near future.
> So why are people still driving cars?

Because it costs Waymo about US$200,000 per car, not including the operating and maintenance staff. It will get cheaper.
> edit: the fact "latch key kids" was basically coined for gen-x kids would seem indicate 2 working parents was common.

The fact that it was a specific term indicates it was a known thing, but at the same time not pervasive in the way it is now.
It doesn't work on arbitrary data. Hand-crafted metrics on structured data, yeah. Free text, no. Data that you don't know anything about, also not really.
I will not even bother to read this shit. You sound naive. What is "Mathematically perfect"? EVERYTHING! Literally everything is perfect math in nature, you see things like honeycomb patters repeat themselves in so many different animal and insect species. There are so many things like that. I wish I remember what YouTube video or article it was that I read, it was fascinating how much repeating and "perfect math" happens in nature. I am sure the solar systems out there are not any different. Math is just what humans invented to measure what it already there, the outcome can only be "perfect".

In case you do not know, the speed of light is just a made up number, so how the fuck do they're even measuring some solar system? THEY DON'T!

It's all clickbait, end of story "aliens, perfect math ..." I know this without reading it.
I had a similar idea yesterday; I'd like to run Code Llama 70B on a GPU supercomputer cluster I have access to. But the wall I hit is the licence agreement by Facebook.

I'd rather download the models from 3rd party unofficial sources/torrents, since that'd be legal where I live for personal research usage. Does someone know of some server that hosts the Code Llama model weights or some torrent? I have downloaded the torrent with Llama weights, but I'd rather use the Code variant, if possible.
What do you mean? China has economic problems, but international escalation is often a great way to distract from donestic problems.
not sure why your comment is grey. it's an objective fact.

The Case for a Maintenance Mindset
From the article: "A conversation with Stewart Brand, one of the most influential thinkers and pioneers of our time, still known for his 1968 creation, the Whole Earth Catalog. We talk to him about his latest project: a book, being publicly drafted online, entitled 'Maintenance: Of Everything'"

Pretty sure he's the only podcaster making them significant profit
China isn't better. They just do colonialism 2.0 with their investments and debt-based diplomacy. The don't care one bit about a single African life.
I didn't say the science is wrong, I said the argument is special pleading.
Years ago i ran a script to fill a db table with entries for each day by incrementing a timestamp by 86400. It skipped the 29th of this year
It should work on Mac Studio with Ollama
Yes, I have been waiting for someone to do something like this, the problem with minilyrics is its too old and the chance of upload client working is like 1 out of 10. And regarding musixmatch, they would take down lyrics randomly because they "dont have" permission to show the lyrics of other artists
You can test performance, and you can monitor reliability. Scale and interdependence are spec requirements that are this theoretical AI's job. Maintainability is irrelevant to everyone here except the theoretical AI, as the AI does the maintaining.
Stupid question. How do these bugs happen?

If you just take the naive approach and calculate everything as unix timestamp deltas, “yesterday” in human terms will still be 86400 seconds ago. No difference leap day or not.

If you use a date library with fancy “subtract one day” functions, it should also be handled automatically. Just like you don’t have to care that March has 31 days and April 30? No difference if leap day or not.

Someone must have spent a lot of effort to manually create date logic, hard coding the number of days in a month or something?

Only other edge case is if someone takes a 2024-02-29 timestamp and modify the year part, without using date library to do so. That should be rare, only use case is a yearly report. That’s not something that should take down the whole billing system.
Who knows what they need and can describe it? I’ve yet to see that
I have always suspected that a lot of stolen Finnish bikes (the high-end stuff) ended up in Russia, but AFAIK Customs didn't check outgoing, so who the heck knows. But maybe bike theft trends have changed now that the border is mostly closed. (Dual citizens can still shuttle back & forth, but now they need EU license plates not Russian.)
> If you’re not doing [CI] already as a developer, I don’t think you really have entered the 21st century yet.

Ah yes, nothing like a veiled insult towards the people that might need that advice the most, blaming them for not using a developer paradigm that you even fail to name and for which you only give a hard to (directly) search two-letter acronym ! (/s)

The street lights use some sort of timer that's tracking dates? Don't they typically just use light sensors to know when to turn on? It seems to me that'd be a simpler solution and also provide light during solar eclipses, thick storms, etc.
Exactly. Off the books for everyone.
It works.

But understand what you are doing: you are adding noise to individual's data to make them less identifiable within a specified set of data. The amount of noise you need to add depends on the size of the set they are within.

The OP is also right: For arbitrary customer data (within arbitrary sets of data) you can't guarantee anonymization.

There are also multi-party computation systems, homomorphic encryption and federated learning approaches that all provide different approaches for parts of the private machine learning problem.

It's hard.
Two used 3090s aren't as fast as two 4090s, but they're $800 each.
And before that the Big Data false gods, and before that the Web 2.0 false gods, and before that the microservices false gods.
I don’t think there’s an algorithm accurate enough to predict the death of that king down to a specific day.

There’s no reason to get an oil change at a dealer, it exists solely to upsell on other services. New cars under warranty can get a 15 minute oil job just fine, it’s removing one bolt and reinstalling it for 99% of cars.
In China, Huawei is known for offering competitive salaries but also demands a lot from its employees. Many people tolerate the toxic work environment in exchange for financial benefits, particularly as they gradually improve their family's lifestyle with their rising income.

As a successful company, Huawei has also popularized the so-called "Wolf-like Spirit" among other Chinese firms.

The "Wolf-like Spirit" implies an expectation to work extremely hard and do whatever is necessary to achieve the company's goals.

One anecdote involves some Japanese customers who visited ZTE, a competitor of Huawei. To break the deals, Huawei allegedly sent individuals who pretended to be ZTE employees and entertained the customers with drinking and whoring for a week.

No one should trust a company like Huawei. Or any companies with deep CCP connection from China.
It would be more realistic to try to nationalize them purraps.
Allies spy on each other all the time. There was a big affair of US spying on Merkel a couple of years ago.
That's not a particularly fruitful generalization. The traditional definition begins:

> The cross product on a Euclidean space V is a bilinear map from V × V to V.

This is required for some of the cross product's useful properties such as:

|a x b| = |a| |b| sin(theta)

This only works in 0, 1, 3, and 7 dimensions.
Anyone can trade after hours. It’s just a shit illiquid market so you shouldn’t be doing it unless you are absolutely certain on the price you want to pay. It’s not a special privilege.

They're not weird.

More unusual all the time, though.
>That's what the Debian Bug Tracking System is for.

Software should be extensively tested and code review should be done before it gets shipped to users. Most users don't know about the Debian Bug Tracking system, but they do know about upstream.

>Honestly, this whole tangent is pointless. Distributions like Debian have been operating like this for like 20+ years. It's dramatically too late to argue about it now, but if you're going to, this is not exactly the strongest argument.

It's not too late as evidence by the growth of solutions like appimage and flatpak which allows developers to avoid this.

>So let's say I want to depend on two libraries, and both of them eventually depend on two different but compatible versions of a library, and only one of them can be loaded into the process space. Is this a made-up problem? No, this exact thing happens constantly, for example with libwayland.

Multiple versions of a library can be loaded into the same address space. Developers can choose to have their libraries support a range of versions.

>that's why we have shared libraries and semver to begin with

Hyrum's Law. Semver doesn't prevent breakages on minor bumps.
I'm only speculating, but I assume it's a lot easier to consume in excess with this method before you'd feel sick. I feel nausea if I drink too much too quickly, not sure if I'd get that with inhaling it.

I do want to give it a try some time though.
"A military base" is really understating it.

Germany not only has several important bases, like Ramstein with the largest American military hospital outside American soil, and several other large bases (K-Town), but also houses two of eleven unified combatant commands in a single city: EUCOM and AFRICOM are both in Stuttgart.
It's interesting that Ukraine seems to have a better supply of Chinese-built drones than Russia.
Do you have any plans of opening up API access or onboarding plugins and developer ecosystem?
It's as feasible as telling how many chars in html lead to this comment by looking at a screenshot. LLM doesn't see characters, tokens, numbers or its own activations. LLM is a "set of rules" component in a chinese room scenario. Anything an operator of that room does is lower-level.

GGP's idea suggests that an LLM, allegedly as a whole-room, receives something like: "hey, look at these tokens: <tokens>, please infer the continuation". This puts it into a nested-room's-operator position, which (1) it is not, (2) there's no nested room.
probably a misunderstanding of what the GC is and does.

The GC works on data, not code.

I never understood people who complained about oil changes.

Do... people not rotate their tires or something? EVs are heavier and therefore have more tire-wear. Its probably more important to rotate those tires.

Oil Change + Tire Rotation is pretty typical service. Even if you get rid of oil changes, the tires still should go around-and-round.
They cannot “figure” it, they could learn it but for that it would need to be in it's training data (which isn't because nobody is writing down the actual pairing in every byte pair encoding in plain text. Also the LLM has no clue about what encoding it uses unless you tell it somehow in the fine-tuning process or the prompt.)
Amazing writing! Reminds me of the Cuckoo's Egg for some reason.
Europe is not hostile to cars. Europe is not as dependent on cars as North America.

Sure, it's fake, it's really nothing more than an automated artistic impression. It could always have been done by a human artist, but most people wouldn't have the skills. It's not much different to using an image editor to stick a person's head onto somebody else's body, which is so old that it's "normalized" and no longer of much interest.
Positions aren't infinite. Even if you want the $20/hr job, so do a lot of other people.

I think you're misunderstanding this turn of events, now is the best time to upload your pictures, because all pictures (and videos) are now considered suspect by default.

Repeating or regurgitating your content. To anyone, somewhere. You got it. Think about it from the perspective of creatives and professionals who deal in words.
"As if source code rusted." - Not unless you rewrite in Rust.
Worth investigation "k-anonymity" as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-anonymity

k-anonymity is an attempt to solve the problem "Given person-specific field-structured data, produce a release of the data with scientific guarantees that the individuals who are the subjects of the data cannot be re-identified while the data remain practically useful."

One serious problem with that approach is that no matter how well you k-anonymise your data set, someone else's dataset may deanonymise yours.
What, for all thoughts and purpose, would you think any regulation would stop any of this?
> No need to worry about expiration -- the DS record has none.

> the DS record is signed by an RRSIG record that has an expiration

You've just contradicted yourself.

> No need to worry about expiration

If that were true, which it isn't, a MITM could keep feeding old signatures to the victim.

You seem to have little idea what you're talking about.

> if you say "IPFS", then you still need to sign up with some centralized service

Ipfs actually has some inbuilt cashing, so visitors to your site also take part of the load and can serve your assets when your PC/internet is down. All without pinning, purely based on GC timing. So as long as you are online reasonably often and your content has readers you will be fine. Another idea has been to make it so that bookmarking works a bit like pinning so by using the decentralized web you actually archive it (sort of)

The author's stance also used to be my stance for a long time. Then, earlier this week, I tried out AutoGPT/evo.ninja (which uses GPT-4 under the hood) and told it to "Write me a snake game in HTML, CSS and JavaScript" and, voilà, it wrote me a game that I could open in my browser and it worked perfectly out of the box.

I also tried this with Tic Tac Toe – it didn't work at first due to a bug in the CSS but the agent was able to fix that bug in the second round. It knew the context, knew the files it had created in the first round, and knew what I was talking about when I said "the Xs and Os are not visible", etc.

So, yes, program specs might still be needed in the beginning, when a piece of software gets written from scratch. But AI will often just fill in missing steps, and once the code has been written, the AI will simply iterate on it, and so the code will take on the role of the spec, just like it does nowadays. No need for the product manager to write detailed specs anymore.

All in all, I think the second direction mentioned in the article (AI becoming a full-blown software developer) is a lot more likely than the author thinks.
I have avoided uploading my pictures on Internet for past 20 years... Looks like I have made right move.
Blows my mind that people consider using ChatGPT for serious applications. I mean it's fine as a code autocorrect/autocomplete tool as in GitHub copilot. But it should not replace the code itself. You encounter a bug in the code, you fix it, you never encounter it again. But ChatGPT will repeat the same mistake sooner or later. That's not how we should engineer solution for critical problems.

ah, thanks for reminding me. I had some Canadian investments to move that day, and I could see if it made sense to move it at the "frozen" price that day (Canadian markets were closed), or better to wait for them to drop the next day. Saved me tens of tax dollars!

> it seems like people don't talk as much about these ideas anymore

The "modernized" Internet got addicted to low-latency interactive protocols. It's basically impossible to protect these from a global passive adversary. All the cool research results (mixnets) produced protections for protocols that have been proclaimed to be extremely uncool these days (like email and bitcoin tx broadcast).

> TOR is the successor to these efforts (despite the fact that it seems controlled by the NSA).

It would be smart for a global passive adversary to invest in technologies that protect people against everybody except them and then give the results away for free.

If I were a supervillian, I would definitely do that. Then I would kill people based on metadata. I'd also be more careful about letting my minions do the kind of dumb shit that gets them multi-year conference attendance bans and 11:30pm (not a typo) speaking slots.

Damn, I should become a supervillian.
There is, depending on the type, format, and volume of data.

Simply classify data into buckets for each value of each variable such that each unique combination of buckets for every variable contains at least N items for a suitably large number of N. It is then mathematically impossible to match an individual data point to any set of original data points less than N.
The +10 (or whatever it is) fluctuates by year is my point.
What kind of regulations do you have in mind?
It’s not a “need” but they are just riding the coat tails of “AI”. Probably getting a fat check in b2b by selling to OpenAI or many of the VC funded AI companies.

It seems like you're trying to convince me that I'm using the internet wrong :)

I like the channel based structure of Slack. It gives me a confidence that I can always go back and find any message, it won't disappear, or be unfindable.

I don't like the "filtered feed" model of Facebook and Twitter, because I'm never sure what has been filtered out. And the fact that everyone is getting a different view makes it hard to develop or maintain shared understanding with others.

Feeds are fine when it doesn't matter if you miss stuff - jump into Hacker News, read some of the latest posts, then disappear for a bit. Not so good (for me) when missing things matters.
And?

If reliability is zero, so is the risk.
