I'm quite unconvinced. If anyone can get a LLM to fix the geometry kernel bugs in solvespace I'll quit engineering today. From what I've seen, just understanding the intent of the algorithms is infinitely beyond an LLM even if explained by a human. This is not going to change any time soon.

True, but as we remove various forms of risks and prolong life, for sure there will be a point in the future where our 200-year-living descendants will say: why were those idiots actively, massively and collectively poisoning themselves?

Well... It just took me about 7 minutes to write all parts of one song, and it actually sounds like something that could have played in the radio (popular). This was in a Latin rhythm too. I don't know what to think of this :\

McDonalds + Starbucks is a weird connection. You'd think the first thing to compare them to would be number of gas stations ...

186,000 gas stations vs 60,000 car washes.

And a quick sanity check of my town - we have more gas stations than car washes (though some have car washes) and way more burger joints than car washes, and also more coffee shops than car washes.
yup, we designed an ensemble that considers both lexical & semantic similarity and trained on large datasets of labeled text. also building data pipelines to prevent models going stale.

I think one of the biggest problems is even stating what the solution an optimal compiler would be. How does one model a program or a CPU? There almost certainly isn't one perfect model for all situations. CPU's are extremely complicated despite the surface simplicity of assembly. Naive notions of registers or instruction ordering don't really exist. But also because of this, perfect compilation isn't that crucial. The CPU kind of JITs for you. The only objective function that seems pretty clear to me is code size.
As a musician and arranger this does not impress me much. Everything it spits out has a 'Top 40' kind of flavor.

Garage doors weigh from 80 to 200 lb (37 - 90 kg)[0], so you'd have to hang one of these from it[1]. Hmm, that doesn't sound too bad. Here's some smarter people than me discussing it[2]. Also, here's a company that sells them[3]. Looks like they use a pully system to double the weight and half the distance. Neat! I feel like I may have seen one of these before...

The most famous of those is parking lots. I'm not sure car washes are the same, because a car wash is way more expensive than paving a lot.
At my home country we used counter-weights, pulleys and cables. Took more space, it is arguably uglier (but who cares how it looks on the inside?) but the cable usually lasts for ages and fixing it is not a life-threatening procedure.

I am merely a layperson/patient with vague anecdotal experiences, but the notion that Vitamin D is capable of complex unexplored interactions is also my belief.

For me, occasional doctor-prescribed monthly slow release doses, intended to help counter depression and seasonal-affective-disorder, instead prefaced weeks/months of arguably mild but disturbing effects after each dose. That is, weird abdominal sensations/pressure, weight loss, paranoia/hypochondria and feelings of doom, among other things. Accordingly I eventually went through a slew of tests, including every blood test under the sun and an ultrasound - nothing found, and calcium levels not elevated.

It only happened 3 times, and I only got really suspicious on the third occasion, due to the common factor of the Vitamin D dose taken prior - at which point I swiftly and permanently ceased taking it - which was not really enough time to be certain of the cause, but I sure spent some fraught hours researching Vitamin D at the time - which convinced me of it's complex potential, in a similar manner as this article - and ultimately the particular, temporary syndrome I suffered on those occasions (whatever the cause) has not recurred in the years since.
But maybe you can superoptimize some hot sections, and encode the superoptimizer findings somewhere.
Then the compiler can validate the optimizations and apply them to the particular piece of code for the rest of the program life, untill the preconditions hold.
> Here’s some data from just Scotland:

No it's not (putting aside that they seem to be a bunch of anti-wind cranks).

> Total number of accidents: 3493

If you drill into the PDF they link to:

> 3493 Miscellaneous 31/12/2023 Whispering Willow North windpower facility, Franklin
County, Iowa USA

Last I looked, the USA hasn't been part of the UK in almost 250 years.

But also their data is nonsense - they've counted one turbine catching fire as two separate incidents, and conveniently ignore that it was during a named storm when the turbine was exposed to winds gusting >70 knots and thousands of people lost power due to downed power lines [0].

Even if you take their number as gospel, which seems unwise given they're counting this as an accident:

> "World's biggest wind farm makes bid to force land sales". Report that SSE Renewables, owners of the Berwick Bank wind farm project off the cost of East Lothian, Scotland, are seeking to force landowners to sell land to operators of the Berwick Bank project.

> Their application to Scottish Ministers to use a Compulsory Purchase Order for lands has brought a stream of objections from private land owners, Network Rail, and EDF who operate Torness nuclear plant. The application will now go to public enquiry.

People could decide privately on banking regulation, but then it's quite close to a meaningless distinction between government and people as both would effectively coerce holdouts.

For stimulus the current sizes are just beyond any other organization. Could perhaps be some distributed system, but then why would it be better than delegation?
Humans and computers are different. It’s perfectly reasonable to treat a human being listening to something and taking inspiration differently from a computer listening to everything ever recorded.

I’ve thought a fair bit about what the future of music looks like in the age of AI and I’m not convinced that much will change. The ease of making music on computers already set the skill bar super low. In 2021 Spotify reported that 60k tracks are submitted to the platform every day. Will it really make a difference if this number goes up by 10X?

What knowledge workers fear about AI already happened to musicians years ago. There’s a reason that the vast majority of musicians have to work a different job. This new tool will not make much difference to musicians, who are already economically marginalized.
If we ever do find a way to copy humans (including their full mental state), I suspect all law and culture will be upended. We'll have to start over from scratch.
Thanks, that's an interesting overview.
Being a musical artist isn't about knowing how to use tools to make a sound, it's about having the taste to know which sounds out of many are the right ones to express what you're trying to say. It's about having an idea you want to create to put out into the world.

People without ideas and taste will play with this stuff for a while because it feels like it gives them a shortcut to talent, but after a while the novelty will wear off and they'll once again have to confront the fact that they have neither ideas, taste, nor talent.

If you're just in need of lowest-common-denominator sound-alike shit, go nuts. If you're interested in music, I suggest also spending time learning to actually be a creative artist, using whatever tools you want.

Numba replaces ops with LLVM byte code equivalent so the compiler will optimise out and coalesce the operations as part of the optimisation stage.

If you want to look at the sort of things compilers do though, take a look at “common subexpression elimination”
Probably otter like to an extent. Would be interesting if the first thing they ventured into shallow seas for was ammonites though.
I mean, we can work with, say, plutonium, in extremely small amounts, in extremely controlled circumstances, and there are still problems. That’s very different to how asbestos was used, though. It used to be used _everywhere_.

> Unlike stores, restaurants or other businesses, most self-service car washes don’t pay sales taxes to their host communities.

Then why don't they? It seems a taxable event has occurred, so tax it?

Maybe the current regulations count it as something else, so it has no sales tax.
Good luck with that. Gemini Advanced is simply unusable right now....It's so bad its hard to believe nobody picked up on that yet.
Another option, if you’ve got the ceiling height is a proper 4 post lift. Expensive, but you can justify it by doubling your car storage space.
Please do not give them this idea.

Ubuntu is actually a pretty great daily driver desktop Linux, and I'd hate for that to lose priority and disappear.

The people answering apparently don't know that you can use counter-weights, cables and pulleys instead of a torsion spring. It takes more space, but it rock solid and safer to fix.

I can highly recommend the book Ultra-processed People by Chris van Tulleken about what UPF does (and doesn't) do with our bodies. And if you don't want to read the book, here's a ~1h video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QOTBreQaIk talking about UPF. You don't even need to watch it, just listening is enough to make you think twice about buying many different kinds of food.
The whole idea is that some research suggests that vitamin D may be harmful without vitamin K to offset its effects ("so that calcium doesn't build up in the vessels but goes to the bones where it's supposed to be"). That's all there is to it.

No need to discuss absorption. Furthermore, the idea "taking D and K at the exact same time reduces the absorption of D" is unsubstantiated in medical research
First, you prune tests to only those affected by the change. There's basically nothing (other than the build system itself) at the root of all code because of the huge number of languages and platforms in the repo.

But you still have library code that's depended on so much that you can't easily run all the tests for each change. So you run a train system so that you can run tests for a whole bunch of changes (those on the same train) at once. Developers have to schedule changes to get on the next train. Other code analyzes the failures from the train to try to apportion blame correctly.

Then, because getting on trains can be cumbersome and tests you care about can fail because of other changes, you build random test sampling and smoke test subsets so that you can get some immediate results to attach to a review, etc.

It roughly works, as well as anything can at that scale.

This is really cool. I was involved with getting the HTC Vive (SteamVR) headset working on a low power Intel NUC with embedded graphics - to do VR without using Valve's software. Like James, we used Occulus code as a guide, particularly guiding our efforts for the chromatic aberration correction - One thing that James will not have the processing power to handle. It was difficult but in the end we got it all working at 90 FPS (11 ms) - Good luck on your efforts James!
I found it varied wildly - the official manuals were incredibly detailed and covered everything - the Chilton guides would tell you how to avoid some weird $500 tool by using a crowbar and a dead chicken.
Neither do they particularly support it.

Lot's of people hear low pitched sounds, for decades, and it's been in the news. It must be psychosomatic... oops, we can measure it (~60dB), because we bothered to check. Where's it coming from? Don't know, but maybe NatGas pumping stations?

Now, the reason I doubted that RF was causing this is that enough radio wave power to penetrate skulls at a distance would have been easily detected with some LEDs and short pieces of wire. The idea that there aren't wide band RF detectors in embassies strains credulity. You could put them in glasses trivially. I think it would take me 5 minutes with a soldering iron and parts on hand, and be almost indetectable without examining the glasses.
I found the first book at least to be just a cacophony of ideas, some interesting, some just weird, and all barely hanging together well enough to make an actual story.
mitproxy lets you one tap install a config profile that does it. You know like you sometimes need to do in Korea or Kazakhstan... It's routine.

But I don't get you. You complained that droid makes it hard and apple makes it impossible. But it would be better for average user security if they could not do it (aka "did not own the device" in anti-apple propaganda), right?
You will not get fat by eating either low quality or calorie dense food.

You will get fat if you eat more than you need to maintain your weight.

If anything, personal experience, with processed foods it can actually be easier to maintain weight because the calories are known.

It's np hard. You can solve it perfectly for a given instance using a constraint solver and adequate patience.

Unfortunately instruction selection is also NP, and so is instruction scheduling, and all three are inter-related. An optimal solution for one tends to be suboptimal for the other two.

Ideally one would feed all three problems into a constraint solver together. Thus far this is considered computationally infeasible, though I don't think that belief would bear up to scrutiny with a supercomputer.
Isn't sparsity almost always a win at this point? Making everything fully connected is a major waste.

Developer experience. But isn’t devops part of developer experience?

Most of the metrics I’ve used for devex have been influenced partly by devops.

From https://github.blog/2023-06-08-developer-experience-what-is-...:

Deployment frequency (DF): how frequently an organization releases new software

Lead time for changes (LT): the time taken from when a change is requested or initiated to when it is deployed

Mean time to recovery (MTTR): the average time it takes to recover from a failure

Change failure rate (CFR): the percentage of changes that result in a failure

I generally enjoy that usually companies who seriously lie in advertising end up facing the music often enough that I don't need to seriously consider such things.

I suspect this case, after reading about it in between actually working, that the claim is actually more scoped than I'd understood, because it is primarily about the recyclability of the can and not a literal claim of zero plastic.

That is, in fact, on me, but given that this isn't an aspect of the product I care about, not entirely shocking to me that I misunderstood. And I got to learn a fun fact about aluminum cans that I didn't know before!
