Not sure that llm autocomplete is so much better than autocomplete using more energy efficient algorithms to make a noticeable difference in productivity.
I know they didn't in the past but they do now. I've seen ads on Youtube from them ever since my adblocker stopped working. Sadly the ads are just straight up stock automotive ads.
Right, so I think the idea is to "unbundle" this so that you can compose your own data analytics engine.
I had one of these, either the 150 or 160 pictured. Lots of fun. I later got the microcomputer one, which had a four bit microprocessor that you could program.
Semi-related - I saw this on https://v8.dev a while back, but `filter: hue-rotate(180deg) invert();` can be a neat CSS trick to 'dark mode' some kinds of graphics, while not screwing with the colours so much. The `hue-rotate` help a bit to keep 'blues blue' etc.

It's far from perfect, but it's a neat one to have in your back pocket.
To understand means a few things, but they all essentially boil down to having a correct (or at least correct enough to be useful for your usecase(s)) model for something in your head.

Have you told someone something like "no, don't do it that way because <insert non-obvious downstream problem>, instead, do <insert alternative strategy that achieves better outcomes>"? That's an artifact of understanding and of the model you've developed for that thing.

It's well described as a mixture of knowledge and wisdom, and is essentially the property of knowing the effect that pulling a lever will cause, coupled with good judgement about how, when, and why to pull the lever.
You are right, I probably should have a copyright file there, just so that if people use this project they have to cite me, other than that I don’t care about how people use it
This being said, if a merchant gets too many chargebacks the gateway or processor may terminate the merchant's account.
I'm thinking using this tool, and having your test suite run through it might work?

At least for people comfortable with doing test driven development.

Write your requirements for your API-driven code as tests first, then document those APIs by running the tests through this tool.
> If someone builds an expensive condo, yes this increases supply of housing in the area, but in the event that prices increase all over the place due to cartel-like behavior

Umm, no.

Adding a new expensive housing to a market does not increase the demand for existing inexpensive housing.

It can have the effect of reducing the demand for other expensive housing, as in "why should I pay a lot of money for old?"
Thanks for the insight, your last point on reducing context windows for AI is exactly what Nitric is trying to achieve for humans as well reduced cognitive complexity for 80% of the work (from your second point).

I can see a path forward for Nitric as platform engineering solution where standardization of architecture is achieved (with the aid of AI as well), through building Nitric custom providers: https://nitric.io/docs/reference/providers/custom/building-c...

Honestly, looks like they cherry picked all the studies that show no association and say there's no evidence. This is sample hacking, not science.
Another Air Force major similarly shared:

> I’ve witnessed vendors sell the same $100M offering to two services under a different name so those services could independently lobby for resources. I’ve witnessed one service sabotage another’s cyber operation (both under the same ‘Joint’ Force Headquarters) simply because that service did not receive credit. I’ve seen the services’ acquisition communities spend over $1B on poorly defined and duplicative cyber requirements to deliver tools that will never be used. Every effort to unify resources and address national priorities is undermined and resisted by the services who perceive no benefit to their domains.

That sounds exactly like I would expect the world of defense contracting to work. I bet the same kind of thing happens when Raytheon sells the same missile to the Air Force, Army, and Navy
I didn't suggest otherwise. The person I replied to said it was a bizarre question, which I disagree with. Their are obvious benefits outside of money.

AI will largely replace software developers very soon, along with most professions.
But all the industries that consume any electricity are already "keeping other coal plants running".

If you abitrarily decice a metal processing factory is "worth it" while an AI datacenter isn't, then yes, it's planned economy.

And yeah, I know the governments already tax different industries differently. I think these policies are hardly justified and mostly "redistribution by lobbying".

"You would have every right to be offended if someone said your pain was all in your head. But the truth is, pain is constructed entirely in the brain. This doesn’t mean your pain is any less real – it’s just that your brain literally creates what your body feels, and in cases of chronic pain, your brain helps perpetuate it."

I've been using ffmpeg as my primary video editor for over a decade now. Most of my edits are just combining or cropping clips or the occasional enhancement. I've done a few large projects like slideshows for funerals and weddings, combining both pictures and video and titles into the slideshow. It's an incredibly powerful tool.
In fact, I’m almost convinced that this regulatory framework was suggested by Apple themselves, because it doesn’t really accomplish anything. No one wanted to use third party app stores, they just want Apple to stop charging them so much. It’s fundamentally a payment processing issue, and they’ve spun it into a user freedom issue.
Just dollar cost average and stop trying to time the market? That's the smartest advice you'll get
In what sense is using less energy good for the world? All forward progress has been accompanied by more energy usage.
I think so. You ask that question because you’re interrogating the position, not because 1000 humans have asked that question in similar situations.

You and I know there’s a truth and we’d like to find it. The GPT is just happy (I.e. rewarded) to produce frequently used tokens.
As a sailor, who crossed oceans, on nothing but wind power (and solar), I resent that - but I totally get what you’re saying. The world would be, different, to say the least.
> increase cohesion between an application and its running infrastructure

> without increasing coupling to that infrastructure

These are contradictory. I don't know what people are doing to fuck up their TF so much, but I've never seen an issue where TF and application code were coupled in a way that wasn't trivially solvable.

Of course, that depends on people not being really dumb.
So you are a bot?
Where did that $70T come from? The most obvious objection is that most labor is not desk jobs, so 1% from autocomplete seems very unreasonable to me, but I don’t know how it breaks out in dollars. Maybe your source says that?
But that is exactly what GP is criticizing: just looking at the $$$. All of us here know that the environmental impact of electric energy generation is externalized and global. If we were to price that in fairly, the labor might well be cheaper!
The jaquard loom and steam engine can't do those things either. A revolution occurs when a technology saves even a fraction of worldwide labor costs. That's all it needs to do to be literally revolutionary.
I was going to respond in sarcasm but realized your comment does not even deserve that.

Governments of any shape are unable to accurately pick which industry to allow or prevent. Even harder would be creating legislation that carves out specific industry.

You can tax the externalities of the use of electricity. Please don’t create pandering comments with zero substance.

I don’t like bitcoin but who am I to tell people what to spend money on.
Great, then you won't buy the $20/mo copilot package and save energy!
Or just good ol’ laws and regulations.
"New requirement will slow delivery process, Musk says in memo"

This tells me nothing about the how and why this decision was made. All it is says to me is the CEO of the company is complaining about the decision in a way that matches my comment's realization.

What is your point in this worthless "Did you read the TFA" nonsense. You are not contributing to the discussion in a positive manner at all. You just want to sound high and mighty about reading comprehension of sub-headlines that don't actually answer anything.

Edit: after using the com. trick:

"Tesla Inc. staff are now required to install and demonstrate the company’s driver-assistance technology before handing cars over to buyers in North America, a “hard requirement” that Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk says will slow deliveries."

So, once again, I ask how a Tesla employee is going to do this. There are no dealerships for me to buy a Tesla and take delivery from them at that location fully staffed by Tesla employees. If I buy a Tesla, it is delivered to me directly. Again, is there a Tesla employee delivering that car that is going to show me this feature? If not, how will I get this demo?
> it comes down to whether it can reason about things and whether it can draw new conclusions or create new information as a result

Neither can humans, at least with our bare brains. We can do it by carefully observing the effects of our actions in the environment, but we are really studying the world and it takes time. Everything we know comes from the environment.

The brain by itself invents or discovers nothing, it is the data-engine made by action-effect-feedback that teaches us all we know. Without the ability to push and prod, set up our experiments and carefully observe effects we wouldn't be at our current level.

Environment is the teacher, but there is another important factor - language. Without it every one of us would have to rediscover from scratch. With it we can build upon other people to learn and cooperate. We encode everything we know in language. It acts like an evolutionary system of ideas.

LLMs have what is necessary, they can learn language pretty well, but until now have not been exposed much to the world. There are millions of chats but very little in other kinds of environments - computers, simulators, games, robots. LLMs can create their own experiences and learn from each other, and from us.

Open ended discovery is a grand project, a social process, it doesn't work well in one agent. Language is the linking element, and the world is the teacher. Some things are not written in any books, only the external world can teach us. Reasoning about things and drawing new conclusions depends on having access to an environment.
That's a tall ask but I think something is possible. The best approach imo would be a "soft wingsail" made from two fabric sails that sandwich a central mast with ability to pivot widely if not freespin. There's some companies today chasing this as a middle ground. It's not as efficient as a solid wing, but sailors are understandably conservative and like something fabric they can take down in high winds vs let weathervane, even if the physics of the latter work out.

Why are some kids so fascinated by magic? (2010)
Exactly. It figures that out on its own. That's what "understanding" looks like in this context, imo.

Tax negative externalities
People give Brutalism a lot of shit but I think the buildings have a certain utilitarian charm. I have heard that concrete can be very unsustainable and counterintuitivly actually hard to maintain though, so I suppose it's a good thing it's going out of style.
Say this is true. I have serious doubts, especially on the seemingly interchangeable uses of 'pain' and 'chronic pain' - but even so:

CBD is still extremely helpful in pain management, because it balances out THC's more paranoid effects, smoothing the high and making it last longer. No one can seriously deny that THC helps with pain management, although the medical industry and the FDA did claim this for decades against their own analyses.

The article itself is written as a cannabis hit piece, which gives me more misgivings. "Ooh, there might be THC in your CBD!" Ok - how much? 0.1%? 0.2%? In the study they claim "as much as" 100 mg - per gram? per dose?

I'm fine with regulating CBD for safety - 100% on board. However, this article reeks, and the "study" is highly questionable.

For example, tfa claims "A meta-analysis (which combines data from multiple studies and plays a fundamental role in evidence-based healthcare) links CBD to increased rates of serious adverse events, including liver toxicity."

But there's no meta analysis about liver toxicity. There's one study, where 7% of people have elevated liver enzymes, more than placebo. Not technically incorrect, but dishonest.

The study talks about "pharmacautical CBD", and then immediately conflates this with commercial products which "contain untested synthetic chemicals".

There are red flags upon red flags. Cherries picked here, there and everywhere.

There's not really any solid justification for the article's breathless claim that "consumers would do well to steer clear of these products". The authors of the study say things like "there’s a complete lack of quality evidence that it has any positive effects", but this is contradicted by their own research. Not a good sign of unbiased research.
Why is using less energy good thing for the world? Using energy in itself is fine, you can use all the solar you want and nobody is going to complain. Nuclear is marginally less harmless, but still quite fine. Don't use coal or gas.

For rust, fibers (as a user-space, cooperative concurrency abstraction) would mandate a lot of design choices, such as whether stacks should be implemented using spaghetti stacks or require some sort of process-level memory mapping library, or even if they were just limited to a fixed size stack.

> All three of these approaches would cause issues when interacting with code in another language with a different ABI. It can get really complicated, for example, when C code gets called from one fiber and wants to then resume another.

Java (in OpenJDK 21) is doing it. To be fair, Java had no other choice because there is so much sequential code written in Java, but also the Java language and bytecode compilation makes it easy to implement spaghetti stacks transparently. Given those two things it's obviously a good idea to go with green threads. The same might not apply to other languages.

My personal preference is for async/await, but it's true that its ecosystem bifurcating virality is a bit of a problem.
Managing the Bereaved
Yes, they are perfectly fair and correct.
I'm seeing shots that would be incredibly expensive for some productions - even if we ignore the ones requiring visual effects work. Some of them would need small crews, permits, rentals of expensive equipment, casting, and travel. It's impressive and concerning at the same time.
Fewer people using Elon Musk's X as it struggles to keep users
That's a bit easy to say this. "We progressed during capitalism hence capitalism allowed the progress" but you don't know at all. You also don't know how will the next 1000 years look if we continue to do things in the name of profit. I think that making hypothetical branches like that is just useless because there are so many more factors that just "capitalism or communism"
There is always a need for both short-term and long-term thinking. If I am running a company, I am thinking short-term (at least when it comes to tooling). If I am dreaming or doing cutting edge research, I am thinking long-term.

I think we are still just babies in the history of programming. 50 years is nothing.
This just in - cherry-picked shitty C++ code behaves shittly. Who cares?

These comments about the Covid supply chain issues only further prove my point:

1. Most importantly, the pandemic was global. Pretty much every country was affected, so it's not like if you wanted to switch supply chains from one place to another that the other place didn't also have significant pandemic issues.

2. I never said their wouldn't be an adjustment, I'm just arguing that you always see this type of hyperbole like "The world economy hinges on one tiny town in North Carolina!!", as if this is the sole source of vibranium like in the Black Panther movie. Even at the height of the pandemic, with major supply disruptions, I'd hardly call a 12% decline in vehicle output or a Christmas without a PlayStation some sort of "catastrophe". If this factory disappeared tomorrow, yes, a ton of people in the semiconductor industry would scramble, and you might see some prices rise short term, but the average person would probably not even notice.
The issue is that the FFI might use C thread-local storage and end up assuming 1-1 threading between the language and C, but if you're using green threads then that won't be the case.
I mean from your perspective I'm just a name making more words on your screen, right? Don't worry too much about it, buddy, you're doin' great :)
Yeah, disputing the charge might be better than a straight chargeback. The merchant gets to respond to the dispute and provide evidence, and if they clearly deny having issued the charge then it gets reversed and you can move on.
Thanks for this. One reason I bought ECC for my home desktop was specifically for protection against Rowhammer (Zen2 TR platform), and that line made my heart race a bit. Very misleading.
He was CTO but also owned the company. That is why he was named directly on the complaint.

I feel he violated what I feel are very basic, elementary ethical principles with regards to software development, by specifically setting out to create software products that were not designed to give the user value but to scam and trick them out of their money.

(There's an argument to be made that he was merely ahead of his time at Microsoft but that's perhaps another discussion.)

He's retired and supposedly wealthy. Not sure what sort of stock options he might have for 7 years at Microsoft, but how much of that wealth (if it even exists) is or was from the scam company? He didn't have to pay most of the fine and the number of customers that requested refunds is hardly documented. For all we know dude is still living off money he scammed from people.

Either way when you stoop that low I don't think you can ever stand up straight again- all you can do is try to hide your slouch.

>What would it take for you to let go of this vendetta that you say you have?

Well, to take an extreme but analogous (IMO) example - what would it take to trust Bernie Madoff for financial advice? That's kind of what I feel this is like. Doesn't matter if they "went through the justice system". You never regain the trust in the field when you so readily violated it to make money.
If negative externalities are an issue, just tax those and let people decide if the investment is still worth it.
>Lots of building up untill the second world ware are gorgous

I think you may have severely underestimated the population growth and need for housing after WWII. The world had not seen population growth like that before. The US and Europe cast away their ornate designs and focused on a burgeoning population in the US and rebuilding quickly in Europe.
Why do you need to target one person who has thousands of machines? What if I just want to pwn whatever random machines visit my dodgy website? Dismissing an exploit just because it only works some fraction of the time seems overly optimistic to me.
A person with this kind of mindset will tell less-developed nations to stop developing fossil fuel infrastructure because any more impact on the planet is unjustified.
Steam engines were literally created specifically to help with mining, this is so hilariously telling of people into this hype.
Maybe anyone with a conscience, nuclear energy should be going to decarbonisation of the existing economy not to expanding a new industry en masse.

People are funny on this forum, when it was Bitcoin it was the devil and now it’s helping us complete our lines of code it’s ok to require a nuclear power plant to run such a system? I guess whatever benefits the individual is ok ? Silicone valley types are funny too because it was all about developing fusion to save humanity now it’s about developing fusion to cat gifs?

These products need to be taxed to price in these externalities we can’t keep this up, it’s ridiculous.

Which is a really good argument for breaking up companies the size of Meta.
The casualty number comes from the Gaza Ministry of Health, not Hamas directly. It is taken by counting names. These names can be cross referenced with the Israeli controlled population registry of Gaza. They can also be searched on the internet, and in many cases you will find real people behind these names, with social media profiles, graduation records, employee profiles, obituaries, etc. This list is public, so you are free to download it and search for evidence of tampering, duplicates, fabrications, people still alive, people not from Gaza etc.

To save you time, I’d like to inform you that this has been done, and the conclusion is that the count published by the ministry of health is believable. But again you are free to prove me wrong and search for these abnormalities.

I will not engage on the question whether the human caused climate change is real or whether the 2020 US presidential election results were fraudulent. I take it as self evident that any arguments to the contrary are indeed conspiracy theories with no basis in reality.
