Hey, this reminds me of Bill Beaty's Human IR Sense: http://amasci.com/weird/humanIR.html
can we really call it standalone if you need it to phone home to Meta? and doesn't it require an account one of their services too?

they did a fantastic job with hardware. I just wish they didn't couple the software so tightly.
Yea, the wife came to me in a bit of a panic that her Facebook account got hacked. I tried logging in to FB to check if I had been unfriended, and I also got errors indicating my password was incorrect. My FB password is 96 bits from /dev/urandom in a GPG-based password manager I wrote for myself a couple decades ago. So, no my password wasn't wrong, and I'm not a big enough target for someone to put enough effort into figuring out how to snarf up my password data and crack my GPG passphrase.

Anyway, when FB thought my password was wrong I calmed way down. I thought maybe FB corrupted their password DB or something, so I just tried to reset my password, got into an odd workflow loop, and then quacked "downdetector facebook".
Are you asking about creating LLMs or using LLMs to create apps?
> Genuinely interested: what do people think of their tons of third-party dependencies in Rust?

Here are three things I think, and they have in fact nothing to do with Rust:

1. The easier it is to add dependencies, the more dependencies will be added on average - unless you work purposefully against that.

2. The effect of a rising average number of dependencies in libraries is that their number of dependencies grows as well, and the number of their dependencies' dependencies... up to dependency graphs of several hundred nodes size. Like in exponential growth. An example would be the dependency graph of jquery.

3. I observe this "exponential" growth can have chain-reaction-like effects, like if you have a mass of U235 that achieves critical mass. Below that critical value, some neutrons flying around might trigger a few fissions, but these die out. Above that value, neutrons lead to fissions which lead to more neutrons and so on. The same can happen with complexity in multi-component software. At some point, complexity goes through the roof.

And the latter is especially true if backwards compatibility is not strictly observed, since backwards-incompatible changes tend to be infectuous in that they often make their client components (parents in the dependency graph) backwards-incompatible as well, in other words, there is breakage that propagates up the dependency graph. That breakage might die out and be able to be contained by local fixes, or it might propagate. And once your dependency graph becomes large enough, it is almost guaranteed, that you have breakage.

All these things together is why I believe that systems like NixOS or Guix are the future (but of course there might be other developments in that space).
I guess this is a good summary from someone with a primarily positive view of the EU.

I’m a EU citizen with a more negative view of the union. Core to my understanding of the EU is the idea that “Europe is a garden, while the rest of the world is a jungle – we have built a garden” [1]. It’s a fundamentally different approach to legislation: instead of thinking about what rules would be fair and reasonable, European politicians start with the end result (“the garden”) and try to craft rules that will accomplish that result. If the rules turn out to be unreasonable from some perspective… “well you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs”. For Americans, coming from a common law system, this has a totalitarian feel to it. At least that’s my personal feeling.

> putting random little "please for the love of all that is holy don't do X as it will cause problems for other users" notices in the documentation or even as interstitial UI (!!) of my products and watching everyone immediately do exactly that thing as no one reads or thinks (or even cares)--a large number of people aren't going to honor this request in the documentation

Kind of off topic, but you shouldn't get annoyed at people for ignoring your notices and not reading the docs. It's an extremely logical thing to do. Think about it - how many notices do you see in a typical day of computing? Probably dozens. How many tools to you use? Also dozens. Now imagine how long it would take if you read all of those notices, and exhaustively read the documentation for every tool. Too fucking long!

It's much better to use heuristics and not read. For example if you close a document and you've made unsaved changes to it, you know the dialog is going to be "Do you want to discard it?". There's no point reading it.

This is a good thing!!

So the conclusion is that you should design your software with the knowledge that people behave this way. It is usually possible to do so. If you give a concrete example I can probably suggest a better solution than "asking and hoping they read it".
Can you please share the list? I'm curious

In the broader field of machine learning (I would leave Artificial Intelligence for the marketers) don't think there are as many jobs as much there's hype.

A handful of companies are doing LLMs. Rest are doing internal fine tuning of available models.

LLMs have proved themselves not to be that reliable that they can be left in production alone.

Hence is the adoption. Limited to areas where they don't have significant impact such as "Change the tone , rewrite, summarize" context menus in many products.
Steam Index is great if you don't care about cords / needing a PC. Easy to do VRchat, IRacing, or even blade & sorcery game sessions for 3-4+ hours without any eye strain, headaches, motion sickness, or discomfort from the headset.

> On the other side you argue for no restrictions, typically until the day before birth.

No you really don't. If you look at all the bans on "partial birth abortion" they don't allow for any exceptions at all, including to save the life of the mother, even if there's no hope of delivering a living baby. The lack of exceptions that shackle medical professionals in emergency situations are what pro-choice people are against. Pretty much everyone who is pro-choice wants to get abortion done as quickly and as soon as possible. In Washington state, the limits are 10 weeks for prescribing mifepristone, and fetal viability for D&E abortions. Literally nobody is trying to increase the limits beyond viability if there's no risk to the mother. Everyone likes the idea of easy access to mifepristone to get it done earlier.

Go ahead and try to find Democratic politicians that actually want to go beyond that. You can probably find some very hard leftists who will say things like that on twitter, because you can find literally any idiot for any position on twitter. You won't find anyone saying that who actually needs to get elected.

Meanwhile you do see Republican politicians actually banning all kinds of abortion even in cases of rape, when the health and safety of the mother is at risk, and when the fetus will be still or never viable due to medical conditions, which is why people refer to them as "forced birth" positions: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/texa...

It is really isn't two sides of this debate by politicians that are equally unreasonable. There is opposition to dropping viability (~23 weeks) down to something like 12 weeks because of the proof of the slippery slope where we can literally see by public statements and laws that are passed that Republicans don't respect exceptions for the health and safety of the mother and it is being done obviously in bad faith towards banning all abortion federally.

[ Ed: And that BBC article you cite has a lot of inflammatory quotes from Republicans CLAIMING it was about allowing abortion under all circumstances up until the day of delivery, when the actual quotes from Democrats are about fetal abnormalities and nonviable pregnancies which do not risk the life of the mother -- the mother forced to spend 5 days in the hospital with a child that was always going to be stillborn is a good example of where the Virginia law banned abortion in that case and why Democrats were trying to relax that language. You still can't provide a case of Democrats saying with their own words that they support entirely elective abortions with no medical justification right up until the day of birth. You can only find Republicans saying that they do, which isn't the same thing. ]

WAFs are a key part of a defense in depth model.

> Nothing in the API or OAuth flow would make that doable in an automatic fashion with this outage. It'd have to be something you put up manually as a banner after hearing of the outage.

That is fair: if I choose to architect my site such that a user-critical feature goes down when a 3rd party service goes down, it behooves me to monitor the 3rd party service and do whatever necessary to properly inform users what's going on.

I edited my post unfortunately after you replied, but another option is removing the parts of your site that rely on 3rd parties, if you don't want the failures of those 3rd parties to reflect poorly on you (which they reasonably would).

>we're talking about why DownDetector isn't necessarily ideal for assessing. It can be a useful signal, in some scenarios, but I've seen plenty of spurious signals come from it.

Indeed, and if a bunch of users say that a feature of your site is down, even if it's a result of a 3rd party failure: chances are, that part of your site is down, and it's partially your fault for relying on a 3rd party for that feature. The users correctly don't care what the root cause is, they expect you to either mitigate it or don't have a feature they rely upon be unreliable.
> The right to free speech only means you can't be prosecuted for what you say.

It is a much broader protection against government retaliation than just "cannot be prosecuted", but it is a protection against the government, and it includes protection against being forced to endorse and relay others' speech. Compelled speech is the opposite of free speech.
yeah ok that's about what I figured.

“Where we going we don’t need docs”. That scares me… docs are among other things there to provide context and info for things not clear from why certain choices were made or not made… no way your AI is going to guess that I put that restriction because of an explicit request from product, despite it looking wrong…
Sure, but the question is still whether that carbon came from a fossil source or was part of the cycle to begin with.

Let's say a cow eats grass, produces methane, the methane gets converted into CO2, the grass grows back. No net increase in CO2.

If, on the other hand, the methane came from natural gas, you have permanently added carbon to the cycle.

> Therefore the difference between the horn being readily accessible and being hidden away could be the difference between life and death.

Being readily accessible is a must. The point I was trying to make (poorly; it was late) was that having the horn button in the middle of the wheel is about the worst place imaginable if you lay on the horn to avoid a crash and it happens anyway, because some portion of your arm is probably going to be broken when it gets crushed between an exploding airbag and your rapidly-decelerating body.

> The fact that the author calls it a slab arena makes me think they did, indeed, intend for it to be used with a single type per arena.

Maybe? But that seems strange, since they seem to have intended it to be used for http servers making per-request allocations.

Come to think of it, the arena is probably still unsound with just ints, because the underlying allocation is just for a `[]byte`, which I don't think is guaranteed to be aligned to 8 bytes. Might be on most platforms, though.
I don't think that's the issue. Vim has been maintained for years, even after NeoVim popped on the scene. The main contention point these days seems to be Vim's choice of vimscript 9 instead of Lua as chosen by NeoVim. Now there's a divide in the plugin community.

It only creates "more CO2" if the carbon atom wasn't part of the carbon cycle to begin with. That's the case for natural gas, but not for biological sources.
I have an active Instagram account. Today, coincidentally was the first time I thought of promoting my best few posts as an ad to improve reach to fellow photographers. Bad luck! The app now seems to be back online but my ads which were supposed to run for 48-72 hours, show <Disabled>. And there is a new "Pay Now" link, even though it was paid for and seems ad-spend is already showing it used some of that payment.

As an individual, this is pretty confusing. I don't have much to lose. I am glad I spent 10-15 bucks on favorite 2-3 posts only. I can imagine many others to be more affected. What is normally to be expected for SME users? Does Meta resume the ads automatically? Do they make good for the lost time since the clock seems to be ticking -- although no one saw any impression.

Edit: I submitted a ticket to Instagram Help and they responded by asking for a screencast video. The first time I sent, the video bounced. I have re-sent this by trimming the video.

Out of curiosity I want to know firsthand how Meta handles the small customers.

Frustrating that Lenovo do not offer Linux as a default OS choice. I'd think Lenovo want to get out from under the Windows boot themselves but they seem not to be advancing that possibility.
From one document to the middle of a different one. I use restructured text which lets me link that way. It is a little tricky, but not difficult and makes it much easier to have documents reference others. I have separate user documentation from design documentation, but the design documentation often needs to reference the user documentation for the thing it just talked about to get into details that otherwise would have to be repeated.

Unfortunately restructure text is not nearly as popular as markdown and so lots of other tools I want either don't exist, or are out of date.

I was talking about really large trees like you get in true old growth forests (ie never cut. Many people see 100 year old second growth forests and think they are old growth, but they are not).

Tree plantations are a whole different eco-system (a very improverished one like a cornfield) from an old growth forest (not really an eco-system). I would love to see tree plantations grow trees for 500 years, but I have never heard of that happening.

Check out this paper where the oldest tree in the study (651 years old) was producing the most heartwood per year of any tree in the study area[1]. Or use google scholar and search for "wood production of old growth forests" The rings on this 651 year old tree will be very thin but the volume of wood produced is large due to the huge diameter of the trunk. Have you every seen a 16 ft diameter tree? They are rare but amazing.
