Organize you "keepers" into an archive you can maintain. at ~6TB (edited "gb" typo, tx) thats not a big challenge to back up; multiple usb hard drives and regular schedule backups of that will serve. "Remote" is a distraction; put your data on media you own and keep a copy in a bank box or something if you feel the need for more off site redundancy.

Collecting and arranging the archive is the big job. you're just gonna have to bite down and start doing that, yourself: no one else is likely to know what needs saving or not. Set up a NAS or file share with a big HDD and start collecting files there.

You may find the old stuff fun to scrape up; for example how difficult is it to find a PATA interface today? that problem only gets harder. Motivation to get on the job now, rather than later; and to make the "archive maintenance" more of your everyday task list than to let it pile up.

> Calling it an error implies the model should be expected to be correct

To a degree, people do expect the output to be correct. But in my view, that's orthogonal to the use of the term "error" in this sense.

If an LLM says something that's not true, that's an erroneous statement. Whether or not the LLM is intended or expected to produce accurate output isn't relevant to that at all. It's in error nonetheless, and calling it that rather than "hallucination" is much more accurate.

After all, when people say things that are in error, we don't say they're "hallucinating". We say they're wrong.

> It generates syntactically correct language, and that's all it does.

Yes indeed. I think where we're misunderstanding each other is that I'm not talking about whether or not the LLM is functioning correctly (that's why I wouldn't call it a "bug"), I'm talking about whether or not factual statements it produces are correct.
The honest interpretation of DNA evidence is that Cro-Magnon man mixed with the Neanderthals and Denisovans and then likely migrated into Africa, not out of it.
Honest question: is this evidence of worsening QA at Apple, or a consequence of OS X growing a longer tail of old and varied hardware?

To an extent, we're all the product on HIBP. The site runs commercial subscriptions, where services pay some nominal fee to find out if its users are reusing a password they used on NeoPets 20 years ago. The site also runs some advertising. Irrespective of how optimised the application is, it has infrastructure and staff costs which need to be paid for in some way.

There's 13bn leaked accounts on the site, and although Hunt does appear to run the site entirely selflessly with little/no profit motive, there is at least some commercialisation of the accounts listed bringing in revenues to cover its costs.

It's free for us because somewhere in the chain, someone is paying for data about us - even if their use-case isn't nefarious.
There are reasonable attempts at answering those questions. We're not lost in the woods, we have a lot of precedent in research that has brought us closer to understanding these things.
That's what exploitation is. You see people in a bad situation, and think "oh hey, I can profit from that." Exploitation (usually) isn't slavery, and most people who are exploited voluntarily enter into that relationship.

Yeah - my experience of watching baby ultrasounds was that I had no idea what I was looking at until the technician told me. Maybe there's an occasional clear image of a head or nose or something, but the rest of the time it's just wobbling grey shapes. I can't imagine trying to do that myself - let alone looking at my own organs which are mostly just amorphous blobs, and trying to diagnose something.

I suspect the main cost in running a diagnostic scan is labour rather than capital - and these low cost ultrasound devices will only have an impact in the developed world if they go hand in hand with AI.

Obviously they'll make a huge difference in developing countries where labour is relatively cheap compared to equipment - but even then it'll still require trained professionals to operate.

Most of the time with these update problems it's way more specific than that. It'll be an Apple silicon chip with a very specific system state, creating a low number of high profile errors that are indistinguishable from random.

It's still often a good idea to wait a few days or weeks before updating just in case you're caught by the bugs, but the rates of errors are usually much lower than the mainstream media reporting would lead you to believe.

I've always been amazed that what I think of a dumb switch (wiring) USB hubs, have connectivity problems solved by such... its a protocol handling problem. Not a circuitry issue, and there should be a command to reset USB/Peripherel reboots.

They use it at her school, and I've bought her some books with projects for her because she's liked to do things outside of school too (for example, ML for kids, which is odd to think about but that's what it is). We've worked through some of the projects in the book, she's made simple pong-style games, and some other things.

Her school has kind of gradually been working through apps and scratch to build up concepts. Some of the early ones were games where you had to program a route out of a maze or something like that by doing things like providing the steps (up down right left, number of each) out. That kind of led to other things, which led to other things.

It sort of built from "tell this robot how to get out of a maze" to "tell your ipad how to do X" where X got gradually more complex over the course of months or a couple of years.

> What's the grand cosmic purpose of having something that holds a "constant amount of value" (whatever that means)?

Well, if a sandwich shop was selling sandwiches for $10 last year and $11 this year, it'd be convenient for me to have a way of telling if the real price of a sandwich has gone up without needing to do any calculations and look up statistical data. I think most people would benefit from that sort of comparative power to be honest; it is difficult to keep track of whether the offers being made are better or worse value as time passes. If the value of money were constant, then a $11 sandwich in 2024 would be guaranteed more expensive than a $10 sandwich in 2023.

I've talked to several people who are convinced the economy would collapse if that sort of constant pricing was normal practice. I have reservations about their claims.

> 1. Don't process EU citizen data (block them).

Many webmasters have neither the time nor inclination to read up on EU law. So blocking is the easiest and safest solution to minimize our legal risks. This is absolutely terrible - I grew up dreaming of an internet that is really humanity's network; not islands separated by political allegiance.

I agree that I can tone it down, but 99.99% of the FUD around is directly the fault of the EU for not making it crystal clear what the theory and practice around their internet laws will be.
That's not a very different argument from saying people will steal merchandise and sell it on the corner because consumers prefer to pay less and not walk the aisles.

> The study does have several limitations. For instance, participants provided dietary data through self-reporting, and some may have incorrectly recalled what they'd eaten. Only two diet surveys were used, so it's unknown whether these accurately represented people's long-term eating habits. The study also didn't consider the nutrient quality of participants' diets or reasons they practiced intermittent fasting.

I’m all for debunking fad diets, but these seem like pretty massive limitations, if for no other reason than selection bias. If someone is practicing a diet, including intermittent fasting, it’s almost certainly because they have health or weight concerns in the first place.

In my own experience, my diet was the worst when I was at my healthiest, because I was young, fit, exercised frequently, stress-free, and full of energy. I increasingly turn to dieting to help deal with the fact that I’m older, exercise far less, have gained weight, and overworked and stressed, and don’t have as much energy.

Thtat reminds me that when I was a kid and I knew literally nothing about computers, I hated Logo because of a totally non-intuitive syntax, but I solved a math puzzle (something like the mpuz form Emacs, but for DOS PC's) at great speeds. With Windows 96/98 and C++ it was even worse, as the programming barrier was uber-high with the Win32 API, and most of sysadmin the stuff under Windows was MS's technobabbled nonsense.

Thus, I tought computers where a crappy blackbox for College engineers and with no open knowledge. Until early 00's.

Then GNU/Linux came, with full manuals included for everything with Debian Woody and then Sarge. I tried to do the same with PostScript, it's kinda the literal same thing as Logo, but now the environment was much saner and understandable, with Emacs calling GV on demand, and the most importang thing: documentation. As simple was that. Bundled help files.

You didn't require books not found anywhere else, nor an internet connection, nor people really far from your blue collar relatives who had no connection to computers. The gap between the nerdy kid with young parents around computers and me became much smaller, and the GNU/BSD guys did an oustanding work spreading IT to anyone.

I've never made anything like some of the developer salaries I see bandied about on this site, but I do OK and live modestly; small house, beater car, only eat out on special occasions, etc... But I think the biggest thing is not having children. The estimates of their costs sans college is already in Lambo territory just for one. I often wonder how much that sort of thing has to do with the decline in fertility.
Recently my TV provider has decided to put all their DVR features in the cloud. So I have a huge DVR with hard drives sitting under my TV that's now completely useless as far as they are concerned.

Instead I get laggy replay functionality in their cloud that doesn't even work right and fails to record new episodes every so often.

And of course it prevents fast forwarding through ads, which I'm sure is why they went with this bullshit solution.

When I was a sophomore in college and working an internship, I met a guy down the street who said he used to work for NASA. I was very interested in what he had done at NASA, and space in general. The next time I ran into him he gave me two photos, autographed to me by Thomas Stafford! One is him standing in front of the Saturn V, and the other is the picture of earth he took while flying around the moon. I was so blown away! They are hanging on my wall right now. Really meant a lot to me. The guy that gave me the photos and now Tom aren't alive anymore, but I'll treasure these photos and pass them to my kids.

Most blacklists are regarding product codes. No separate carve out for pvt companies. Sure after 123 agreement, most restrictions are being negotiated and lifted slowly and India is not being added to new blacklists. But, that is recent phenomenon.
I pay for a vpn service and whenever I'm on it google makes me go through a ton of captchas before I can search. The first time it happened I assumed I must've kept getting one wrong, it made me go through 10 or so. The next time I just quit after 5 and started using bing.

I suppose it's been the policy of a lot of big tech companies for a while, but it's just cheaper for them to lose x percent of users than it is to allow y percent of bots.
> Then the LuaTeX devs moved their efforts to LuaMetaTeX and I found myself scratching my head.

This makes sense: They're essentially “done” with LuaTeX; it works fine and is distributed with TeX Live; it's up to others to use it. Many people are in environments (submission to journals that insist on pdfTeX etc) where they cannot use LuaTeX; the LuaTeX developers cannot change that. (It has minor differences from TeX/pdfTeX but they don't seem keen to fix it.) Meanwhile for those who are willing to use a new system, they might as well simplify (remove the backward-compatibility requirements) and make a better typesetting system more suited to the needs of ConTeXt.

In other words, users can be divided into:

- those who insist/need to use pdfTeX + LaTeX

- those who are willing to try something different, for which there's ConTeXt (with lmtx) or (further afield) Typst, etc.

You faked this. `ldd` never prints just the text `statically linked` for a statically-linked binary.

You can't have truly statically linked binaries on glibc systems; they ditched support for that over a decade ago. On the 1% of Linux systems using Musl you can produce statically-linked binaries, but `ldd` will report `not a dynamic executable`.

You faked your console output.
Yes, but in the mid 90's, teaching Logo to Elementary students sucked at lot. We barely touched Logo for a week and doing advanced stuff was just something for kids with computers at home with young parents.

I was lucky to get a Debian release from a magazine in early 00's, my relation to computers did a 180 degree turn. That and retroemulation, I even learnt C64 basic just for fun under VICE/CSS64.
From that era I loved Perl, text adventures, self-learning from books and lots of howtos on C and PostScript.
From the paragraph you've shared here this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

How is the quality of work of these developers being assessed? Is there anyone senior overseeing their work – and if so, would they not be more suitable?

And in terms of the team structure, I genuinely find it hard to believe that the majority of your team are recent grads... That's insane. Imagine if you went to the dentist and it was full of of junior dentists – would not be concerned about the quality of dental care you'd receive? Do you process CCs, do you handle sensitive data, do you provide business critical services? Because if you do you really need to be ensuring you're doing things correctly and not just hacking stuff together like it's a college project...

Honestly I struggle to ensure quality in teams where ~25% of the team are junior...
This article is about the XB-70 Valkyrie, the headline is weird. Aren't there lots of supersonic planes that were faster than the Concorde? The only reason I can see for the choice is vague visual similarity and the fact that both were painted white, which is pretty weak.

That research budgets are split by subjects many times before arriving to a node where "string theory" is a possible leaf is not a controversial statement, it is reflected in basically all budget documents you will find.

For example, string theory funded by the NSF that "steals" money from laser research is plausibly only found in the "elementary particle physics - theory" program, which is part of the Physics division, which is part of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate.

You can find all NFS awards in the physics division, so about one step above where string theory could plausibly show up here: https://tableau.external.nsf.gov/views/NSFbyNumbers/Details?...

sadly the page is pretty shit so the filter selection is probably reset, and they don't label by division program so you'll have to mouse over each one and categorise yourself. As a guide to how much work it is, there was 350 awards in the physics division and about 30 of those in the theory program.
