>>Are you suggesting some metal brake components have unusual rust because of disuse

Yes, the brake disks, especially if you drive some place where they salt the roads during the winter. I had to change the rear disks on my hybrid after two years because they started to fall apart from rust, now I have learned to do some heavy braking at the end of trips to clean and dry the disks
Thank you for your response! I too think that Excel is a premier example of low-code success: especially if you think that who is it low-code for - business people. Many times I find technical people (me too) engaging these low-code discussions so that they forget that low-code and no-code should be powerful enough to bring power of programming to groups of non-technical people.

In my case, I wanted to start with Excel functions, but it could be valuable to add even more functions. And to be able to write these functions in a different way than Excel does is what I am after: think of it as sequences of functions instead of placing them inside cells. Another thing is that you can't really run Excel as a backend i.e. without human intervention. Or well, there are nowadays some tools for that too, but that gets quite technical quickly.
How are people lookup tables? In the case of neural networks the representation of the table is obvious, it's just numbers. What would be the equivalent table for the liver?

My argument isn't abstract. Neural networks really are just numerical functions which can be expanded into their equivalent graph representations.
This project also acts as a survey to determine if the community can develop a useful app entirely from scratch without any primary developer and base code if only the methods and objectives are laid out. Feel free to contribute if you like.
Not yeeting them would appear to be a valid option, yes. You can leave them un-yote for as long as you wish.
I don't think that consequence would have happened 10 years ago.

But I guess I'm that guy who still resents that since then Google has fully evolved into yet another mindless corporate greed machine.
oh ok. Any idea how I can do that?
Enjoying this article. It's an area of computing I am very weak on, and it's really good to see an intelligent formulation of the why and how of multi-threaded computing in a broader context.
It sounds like you're asking whether the output of a neural network is a deterministic function of its input. For many LLMs, you can make that answer yes with the right combination of parameters (temperature = 0) and underlying compute (variance in floating point calculations can still introduce randomness in model outputs even when the model should theoretically return the same answer every time).

There are some ways to introduce stochasticity:

1. Add randomness. The temperature or "creativity" hyperparameter in most LLMs does this, as do some decoders. The hardware these models run can also add randomness.

2. Add some concept of state. RNNs do this, some of the approaches which give the LLM a scratch pad or external memory do this, and continuous pre-training sort of does this.

How this affects people's perception of LLMs as thinking machines, I don't know. What if someone took every response I ever gave to every question that was ever asked of me in my life and made a Chinese Room[1] version of me? A lookup table that is functionally identical to my entire existence. In what contexts is the difference meaningful?

> That's not too surprising since the Cass review just looks at transgender care, and not anything else.

Which is a bizarre choice on its face, given that children with precocious puberty tend to be on these drugs for longer than those with gender dysphoria.

> If people had been actually researching this instead of obsessing over JK Rowling and generally being an asshole on twitter then everyone would be better off by now, trans kids most of all.

I believe that transgender people and their supporters are rightfully worried that this is the harbinger to significantly restricting or altogether banning gender-affirming care across the board, even for consenting and informed adults. If I thought I would lose access to medication that allowed me to not only function, but live a happier and more fulfilling life, as is the case in many US states, I'd be a bit cross as well.

Then again, I also don't feel like laying this problem at Twitter users' feet is very productive, considering how much of a trash fire the site is in its sum total no matter what conversation you're having.
I understand your concern. There're always some trade-off over there. Taking Trangram implementation for example, I have to choose among different front-end frameworks considering all the strength and weakness, features and performance, documentation and community activeness; Creating new features and functionalities from scratch or use existing 3rd-party libs which is usually heavyweight in file size and may probably cause compatibility issues in the future; Determining which cloud servers to host Trangram so as to balance the performance and the cost. etc... And in terms of web apps vs native apps, we have to balance things like compatibility and maintainability.

Anyway, I will try my best to make Trangram sustainable and bring values to everyone by creating and sharing creative contents.
Thank you for that. I guess where I have a problem is the notion that 2.2 degrees higher on the wet bulb than where we were earlier this week is going to lead to millions of deaths. Like, this is the tropics, it's always hot. It's been a lot hotter than it was this week, and yet there was no extinction event. It's very hard for me to parse this idea from an Internet forum filled with white dudes in air conditioned NA/EU offices saying that millions of us are going to die because the weather will be basically the same as it's always been here. There has got to be some breakdown in the logic between the observations about the wet bulb and the conclusion that humanity will go extinct because it can't sweat or whatever. There are like a billion people sweating in temperatures around what this study says will kill them.

The physics of kinetic weaponry is stupidly simple, and so kinetic defense is also stupidly simple: E = (mv^2)/2

Kinetic "energy shields" (as commonly depicted) are basically impossible, if not literally impossible. You're much better off either dodging or intercepting.
We're not a lookup table of the things we're, eg., saying, or doing etc. Nor are we looking up, in this sense, when we act.

ie., when you compress text into an NN and use it to generate text, the generated text is just a synthesis of the compressed text.

Whereas when I type, I am not synthesising text. Rather I have the skill of typing, I have an interior subjectivity of thoughts, I have memories which arent text, and so on.

When my fingers move across the keyboard it isn't because they are looking up text.

Our causal properties (experiencing, thinking, seeing, feeling, remembering, moving, speaking, growing, digesting ...) are not each, "index on the total history of prior experience", "index on the total history of prior seeing". The world directly causes, eg., us to see -- seeing isnt a lookup table of prior seeings.

( Also, the whole of physics is formulated in terms that cannot be made into a lookup table; and there is no evidence, only insistence, of the converse. )
I already pay that at the gas station.

Glad that you solve it. Trangram requires modern browsers which support web apis such as stream and crypto api to work properly.
For me, it looks like this. Scroll down on this page to the Two Dimensions section and let that run a bit. When it starts swirling, imagine just taking a curved 1 cm wide slice of it, and overlaying it on your field of view.

For the circle in the article here, look at the skin on hand there, it kind of fades into fabric. And something looks wrong with the cloth in the exact center of the circle, I don't see any article of clothing that that makes sense to be a part of, but I could be wrong on that.
It's only with their clients; if you use a different client you don't have to use their centralised filter. They need some form of censorship in their own client for plausible deniability so they don't get shut down (or face extreme deplatforming like Gab).

I find the market way more open and competitive than dot-com. Everyone is throwing up a chatbot or RAG solution. There are tradesmen and secretaries and infinite 19 year olds who are now able to wire together a no-code app or low-code bot and add value to real businesses. The hyper scalars are making some money but absolutely don't have this locked up. Any Groq or Mistral could wander in and eat their lunch, and we haven't really started the race yet. The next decade will be ridiculous.
Load up on GOOG ;)
I've participated in programming olympiads and worked with people of varying skill and I would say that overall the correlation between competitive programming and software engineering in a business environment is probably like 0.2 or less.
Roughly, yes. Netmaker has a self-hostable server though. With tailscsle of course the 3rd-party headscale is available. Netbird also seems promising. See https://github.com/cedrickchee/awesome-wireguard for more alternatives.

Not sure what he's referring to in terms of modern physics saying we're just a lookup table but at the very least, you could say the same thing about the conversation that we're having now. You read words, those words map to meaning representation in our heads, we then generate a response.
The next step up is an orchestron, where the auxiliary instruments are all played automatically.[1] These got bigger and bigger and reached ridiculous scale around 1900.

The most advanced multiple-instrument machine was the Mills Violano Virtuoso.[2] This combined a violin and a piano. It's a beautiful piece of mechanical engineering. These things were robust enough to be coin-operated.

This is understandably shocking. The way I have chosen bitcoin wallets is searching for trusted brands in the space using Google, and going to their website and then installing the app.
…and I thought math branched off from computing science sometime in the 19th century. Before that, what was called „math“ was mostly algorithms to compute stuff.
People can not be reduced to lookup tables even in theory. No one even knows how a single cell does what it does let alone an entire organism like a person.

I'm not making an abstract claim about neural networks because all numerical algorithms like neural networks can be reduced to a lookup table given a large enough hard drive. This is not practical because the space required would exceed the number of atoms in the known universe but the argument is sound. The same isn't true for people unless a person is idealized and abstracted into a sequence of numbers. I'm not saying no one is allowed to think of people as some sequence of numbers but this is clearly an abstraction of what it means to be a person and in the case of the neural network there is no abstraction, it really is a numerical function which can be expanded into a large table which represents its graph.
It might depend on whether you do a lot of counting in your non-native tongue. Since I studied maths in English (not my native language), I also do counting in English when I'm thinking in English because to me counting in English is just as easy as in my mother tongue.
Many things have been claimed to be the "death" of software careers (.com crash, outsourcing, remote work, etc.) and yet we have more demand than ever.

> Because we don't know the dye that was used 3000 years ago, today most omit the blue thread

Were I party to that contract, I (being aware of non-english distinctions) would wear any azure/голубой (sky, not ocean, blue), for:

a) a colour is specified, neither dye nor pigment. (pedantically, it need not even be a reflective colour, presumably something emissive, eg blue EL wire, would be equally acceptable)

b) 15:39 says the colour is meant for the eyes of the wearer, to remind them, so in this case the proper interpretation of "blue" is not even whatever that colour may have been 3'000 years ago, but whatever suggests "tekhelet" to the garment's wearer, today.

(in particular, a tritanope ought to be able to wear suitable grey threads)

Caveat: I have no hebrew, and english has lost its second person singular. Is the second person in the original singular or plural? In the latter case, (b) would need to be amended to match a community, not a personal, interpretation, and the tritanope should then be less free and more frum.

Edit: I think I see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/אתם#Hebrew in there, so it needs to be a community blue. Sucks to be a tritanope, but presumably english monoglots (who don't make the sky/ocean distinction in their basic colours; compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_term#Color-term_hierarch... ) would be fine with any blue.
> Apple has lost its user-focus. Its products will only get worse and worse. Fortunately, this creates opportunity for new companies.

Apple has never focused on the users, it was always their interpretation of what the user wanted.

For the most notorious example of this:

> You're holding it wrong

Using Apple means you adjust to what Apple decides the UX should be like. And if you do, you enjoy a mostly uniform interface with good vertical integration across devices.

If you can't or don't want to, then you shouldn't use Apple products. It's as simple as that

>The perception that manual memory management is difficult to do, difficult to do correctly, and thus inherently bug-prone and unstable is common.

Yes, not just the perception. Microsoft and Google did large enough studies with the highest paid engineers in the world and they came to that conclusion. There's evidence behind it.

After working with C and C++ for over a decade, I still have to see a non-trivially sized/non-hobby project, that didn't have a vast amount of memory management bugs discovered later, with a lot of compute time for tooling and manual debugging involved.

I'd say a single talented programmer can manage memory manually mostly correctly.

But not a group of programmers of varying levels, as you will always find them in a larger project.

>If there is no organizing principle around managing these relationships and their corresponding lifetimes, through a number of subtle mistakes

Here the author seems to almost grok this. The only realization missing is that if you're not the dictator of this project, you won't be able to enforce your style top-down and this mess is almost inevitable.

Of course allocation and deallocation is also not the only memory management issue. The author seems to ignore mutability issues, array out of bounds issues, etc. which are also memory management issues C doesn't help you with. Quite often worse than a memory leak.

Despite his ranting detracting from the main point of the article, I think it's quite a solid introduction to arena allocation.

I've found it quite useful in hard real-time systems where you need more than the usual stack memory for dynamically sized arrays (within bounds).
Obviously if we are interacting over a digital medium then the responses will be encoded as numbers but there is no way to reduce an entire person to a lookup table. Measured output of human behavior can be expressed as lists of numbers but thinking is not the same as the list of numbers, unlike in the case of neural networks where the graph and the network are actually equivalent.
Certainly, but it could also be a net negative. We can however already identify ways in which it can benefit and harm our societies in the short term, so we should at least be considering mitigations of the negative aspects.
I appreciate your keen eye for detail. Will correct it later.
Their stackable moderation system might actually allow one to implement this relatively easily.

Add a moderation channel per country and let clients apply them depending on location/settings.
It's naturally not perfect, but as one can just travel to other countries and get their (potentially less restricted) view or even simpler use a VPN, it's as good as basically any other such censorship measurement.
Best guess is Apple finds it slightly unaesthetic and considers it more of an assistive function rather than strictly necessary for everyone.

I think its been this was as long as OS X has existed, maybe even earlier versions of Mac OS were the same?
