The work done in the Gradle project by Orchard, et al has been consistently good. I think a really solid progression from this paper is to take the same approach and combine it with the type system feature in ‘A Flexible Type System for Fearless Concurrency’ (Milano,etal 2022) [1]. The thrust of said paper is to utilize a coarser grain for ‘objects’ than what Rust promotes, which allows for much simpler implementations of common data structures (the paper uses a doubly linked, circular list as a well worked out example). Combining Milano’s approach to the scale at which ‘ownership’ is applied with the graded modality work from Orchard, et al would produce a very promising type system, with less syntactic noise from annotations, and still allow for a sliding scale of fineness in ownership semantics.

On the other end of the scale, the code base I worked on today has seen at least 7 separate leap days in production. Last week a manager asked if we expected any issues with the leap day, and we all just kind of laughed (and politely said no).

While looking at pictures of fossils or even physically handling fossils that others have found is interesting; for me it was a completely different experience personally discovering some of them 'in the wild'.

I was exploring an area known for fossilized turtle shells (and found some of them) when I discovered a group of about a dozen fossilized tree trunks. You could clearly see the base of each tree and where it stood in relation to the others. Awe inspiring.
The claim is it doesn’t drive traffic. People read the embedded snippet or what the person said it says and doesn’t follow to the site.

West Valley really is such a wonderful community.

For PAO specifically, also helpful to know where KGO (trio of radio antennas alongside bridges), the Dish / Stanford, Sunken Ship (what it sounds like), the Birdhouse (round structure between Amphitheater and PAO), Amphitheater (as well explained in top comment), 101, and train/auto bridges which often get used as visual landmarks.

For SQL, I can’t really remember too many landmarks that get used often other than Cement Plant (cement plant on the bay slightly past south side of the field) and AT&T (big grey building).
Thanks for your advice. I'll remove it.
While Grafana Agent uses less resources than Prometheus, there is more optimized Prometheus-compatible scraper and router exists - vmagent [1]. I'd recommend you giving Grafana Agent and vmagent the same workload and comparing their resource usage.

P.S. Prometheus itself can also act as a lightweight agent, which collects metrics and forwards them to the configured remote storage [2].

Ofcourse they were inspired by MENA people considering many of them live in the desert too with traces of tribalism and colonialism...

Maybe because a tech industry forum routinely circumventing copyright protection paywalls in a "grassroots" way is in questionable taste, and making it official would arguably be worse?

(Incidentally, someday a piracy site like that could serve up a browser zero-day, and pwn a large percentage of US tech companies. Without ever having needed to go to the trouble to develop their own content that would attract such a large audience of tech workers on work machines.)
This was incredibly fun to read and a wonderful rabbit hole.

Technologists are often defeated by their assumptions of how easy it is to solve a problem, but it’s also how we get ourselves in to solving impossibly hard ones.

Of course the natural conclusion is we repeat the same architecture in the name of new ones.
We should get it off work. We aren't getting paid for the extra day of work right?
> You forget about the desktop integration [...] the documentation it has, just superb. So yes, listening to user feedback is the most important but the role of a great toolkit to build on is also very important.

I did not forget it, Qt has great integration and documentation but this was not a comparison of the specific features Qt and some other toolkit like Gtk may have. My claim was that Qt isn't something special that would make Krita successful while using anything else would make it less successful.

I didn't bring those things up because they weren't really relevant for my claim. Also FWIW desktop integration for Krita isn't as important as it'd be for some other types of applications - consider that Krita even comes out of the box with its own themes that it uses instead of trying to "blend in" the underlying desktop looks.

In terms of what Krita does, there isn't any functionality that it uses from Qt that couldn't be found in other toolkits like Gtk - or other libraries. It wouldn't be the same way and certainly not with the same code, but Krita could have been written using a different GUI library and framework and even in a different language and still had the same success because the GUI framework it uses is not why it is successful: it is the functionality the program provides (which was written by the Krita developers themselves) and the communication the developers have with the users (which isn't even something technical).
I'd probably just create a config file, where I'd store all known Easter dates for the next 50 years. If software still works 50 years later, they can extend the config file.
The only companies worse than social media companies are media companies lol
Yeah, the publishers want compensation for the headline, photo, and text excerpt that appear on the social network. While these are really small excerpts, the publishers contend that it's sufficient to reduce demand for the article itself from users who'll read the headline and preview, maybe interact, and continue scrolling on the social network.

It's not surprising that users will do that to me. We see plenty of people commenting on HN without reading the article, and that's just based on a text only headline.
Looks like YC is dying in the last two years. Perhaps their offering is not as attractive as it used to be anymore. And the funding appears to have dried out. No wonder for the first time in many years we saw multiple posts reminding people to apply.
It makes sense in Australia as NewsCorp (and to a lesser extent, the other trad media companies) has much influence over public opinion via TV and newspapers, so political parties are beholden to it, and thus the legislation to force internet companies to pay news sources.

The problem I've found recently is that it's getting harder and harder to find books that are up to date and reflect the current best practices for a given language and its surrounding ecosystem. It seems like most of the current content comes from blogs, paid courses, and YouTube. I'm guessing it's due to the time vs. profit tradeoff of writing long form books versus blog entries or recording videos. There are also some advantages to videos for topics like mobile or web development that benefit from a visual representation. However, I still miss a good book when it comes to information density. In my opinion books are by far the best way to learn a new programming language's syntax and standard library.
The question is by how much? I prefilter tap water with brita and then my RO unit filters into a glass container which re-adds minerals for taste. Post-filtration, it should only make contact with two pieces of plastic (the pipe to the drip and the lid of the container. Pre-mineral it's usually under 10ppm. Can I get it any better with any other method?

You're going a bit extreme, but 5 auctions per week strike me as reasonable.

If the markets are trading continuously, benefits of parsing new information go to those who parse it the fastest. If the markets trade in occasional auctions, everyone shares the burden (or gift) of new information equally, and no resources are wasted in, say, building a somewhat more straight glass fibre connection between Chicago and NY, then building a sequence of microwave towers, because light moves faster in air than in fibre.

I'm biased. But, hear me out. We're a team of 3, and we think it's way more useful than Slack would have been.

As mentioned elsewhere, Struct is replacing two chat platforms (team and community), a task management system, a ChatGPT, my personal TODO list, a publicly indexable knowledge-base for us.

It's nice when you don't have to treat your chat platform as an ephemeral, knowledge void.
It's fair that Meta does not have to pay the legacy big media racket the protection fee, but unfortunately this hurts the players that were not asking for the protection fee in the first place. Maybe small players will hurt from the reduced exposure, to the advantage of the big players.

Amazon is also infamous for high turnover rates. I doubt even a quarter of those 900k still work there.
The attempt is not to replace a particular neural network which has already been trained by using Sigmoid or Rel functions. If one does this then one would necessarily have to use non-linear maps.
The whole point is that such a non-linear technique is not necessary for classifications.
It is not necessary to confine clusters by hyperplanes for solving a classification problem.
Our focus is on individual points.

We believe the brain does not do nonlinear maps!
Thanks! Kudos to Jason (OP). One of the best designers I've had a privilege to work with.
Well the least they could do imo would be to post or comment that a question is a duplicate of another or link to the top voted answer. Similar to how users on HN post links to "on going discussion threads" for duped posts. Its grunt work that these bots should at least be able to regurgitate or find easily.

Also theres a chance these LLMs have access to other tech forums in addition to stack overflow and could possibly provide a solution. For example GitHub has actually been the better source for me when debugging issues. Usually you can go to the repo and search the issues and read comments with solutions or workarounds.

But aside from that i am in agreeance with you that these bots will struggle to provide new, non regurgitated answers and could potentially cause more harm than good
Wow, this is really cool. It also completely borked my terminal! What fun.
I've been bothered for a while by these keyboards with non standard layouts. They tend to land on the budget side of the spectrum and are different for the sake of being different and cool. This means a lot of kids end up with these keyboards and as an adult will have to unlearn and relearn how to type.
Actually it's even more insidious than that, at least in Australia

Facebook (I refuse to call them Meta) is obligated to pay NewsCorp for articles posted

Facebook then writes this off as a tax deduction

Meanwhile Facebook pays effectively $0 in tax as-is because of all the various loopholes they exploit

As a result the Australian tax payer effectively is paying Newscorp to continue existing
Cosign, I feel like the longer context window is mostly a dud, especially above 16K tokens.

I don't miss sweating the details on what exactly to fit into 4096, but if I just use GPT-4, I'm left with the distinct impression the current context extension stuff is hacky, and something needs to be done in training to actually make use of it.

Google miraculously getting 1M context with perfect recall is more fuel for my "don't tell me, show me" fire when it comes to Google. They're batting roughly 0 for 2 years now
This product is way better than Slack IMO! We have so much information lost in Slack and hard to summarize the key insights with so much data dump! Kudos Struct team, what an exciting product we will test it with our slack integration.
If sub-quadratic architectures (eg Mamba) become a thing, it will become feasible to precompute most of the work for a fixed prefix (i.e. system prompt) and the latency can be pretty minimal. Even with current transformers, if you have a fixed system prompt, you can save the KV cache and it helps a lot (though the inference time of each incremental token is still linear).
The search feature on ChatGPT for Android only works for a tiny number of recent chats.
It doesn’t even matter how many tokens there is, because LLMs are completely ignorant about how their input is structured. They don’t see letters or syllables cause they have no “eyes”. The closest analogy with a human is that vocal-ish concepts just emerge in their mind without any visual representation. They can only “recall” how many “e”s are there, but cannot look and count.

Cool, but the dictionary provides record of the prevailing use of words, and it is clear that the original comment was said in the same vein as how most people define it – "a timid and cowardly person (typically used of a man)". There was no association with female body parts (or cats, for that matter) made in the original comment. Whatever pet definition found in your community may be is irrelevant here.

I'll be sure to ask the cats in my life while I'm at it...

>For example, if Debian updates libpng because there's a new RCE, it's ideal if they can update every package to the same new version of libpng all at once.

It Debian is upgrading a dependency instead of a developer, then Debian should be ready to fix any bugs they introduce.

>then this would actually mean that you have to update every dependent package to a new release that has the new version of libpng, all at the same time, across all supported versions of the distribution

This is already how it works. All vulnerable programs make an update and try to hold off in releasing it until near an embargo date. You don't have to literally update them all at the same time. It's okay of some are updated at different times than others.

>Not to mention, imagine the number of duplicate libraries.

Duplicate libraries are not an issue.

>Many Linux distros, including Debian, have adopted a policy of only having one version of any given library across the whole repo.

This is a ridiculous policy to me as you are forcing programs to use dependencies they were not designed for. This is something that should be avoided as much as possible.

>by the time a bug gets to you, there is a pretty reasonable chance that it's actually a valid issue

That doesn't mean there isn't damage done. There are many people who consider kdenlive an unstable program that constantly crashes because of distros shipping it with the incorrect dependencies. This creates reputational damage.
Ha, okay mp3 128 is 480p then. Fwiw, I happened to watch an old DVD I had recently (480p), it was so much worse than I remembered. 1080p to 4k is very much not as big a quality jump.
> fairing separation (shedding excess weight, but constrained by the aerodynamic advantages and protections of the fairing itself) tends to occur before major pitch-over.

Not for the launches I've watched, e.g. SpaceX pitches through 45 degrees at ~61km of altitude, whereas fairing separation doesn't happen until 82km altitude (by which time it's of course pitched down significantly further). Is that unusual?

> That's getting to be close to what's useful for space launch, but whilst the altitude is useful, the velocity remains low relative to orbital velocities.

True, but also potentially positive; if (big if) you can figure out the other issues, then the faster you go the higher you can continue to take in enough air to be useful.

Well, no, but you can write scopes explicitly, and all your lifetimes correspond to scopes, by definition.

It worked for how some programmers reason about lifetimes in their head. Not for me. Maybe I'm the minority.

Nice, I hadn't come across Genode before:

The Genode OS Framework is a tool kit for building highly secure special-purpose operating systems. It scales from embedded systems with as little as 4 MB of memory to highly dynamic general-purpose workloads.

Genode is based on a recursive system structure. Each program runs in a dedicated sandbox and gets granted only those access rights and resources that are needed for its specific purpose. [... ] Thanks to this rigid regime, the attack surface of security-critical functions can be reduced by orders of magnitude compared to contemporary operating systems.

The framework aligns the construction principles of L4 with Unix philosophy.

https://genode.org/about/index

There was a time I'd have been all over this, good to see small secure systems are still being developed (Yes, I saw that Genode dates back to 2008 .. ).

It should be fairly simple to come up with some standard to block social media sharing i.e some .nosocial file in your root dir = don't share this site on social media.

Of course, if the news companies don't implement such a standard and they keep their social media meta tags to encourage sharing, surely that means that they don't mind their content being shared and shouldn't be trying to charge some fee for the privilege?
