Same experience here. Admittedly it's been a few years since I last used it, but there was so much boilerplate coupled with a layer of "magic" that was too thick for my liking.

Provider initialization (dependency injection) failed on me on a few occasions and it always wasted hours of productivity. It would break in some obscure way that wouldn't log any errors to the console, so there was nothing to go on besides attaching a debugger and stepping through layers of framework code. It was quite infuriating because it always happened when I was in the middle of something else.

If your specific use case wasn't covered by their docs (which were very barebones and "hello-world" oriented at the time), it was painful to figure out and use.
I don't find it demonstrated, though. Certain people have biases which lead them to find the claim reasonable. Certain others have different biases.

It's really hard to have a meaningful conversation based on that...
Every paying customer Anthropic gains is a paying customer that OpenAI loses. The early adopters of OpenAI are the ones now becoming early adopters of Claude 3. Also 200k context window is a big deal .
Defense in depth has value I agree, but I think it can also be counterproductive in some cases. Every layer can also be buggy and have vulnerabilities, which can often leak (e.g. into code execution) and compromise the whole system (bypassing layers). What happened in this case seems to be a case of maintained hijacking and introducing vulnerabilities. Adding an additional dependency (of say a port-knocking library) doesn't look great in that regard, if the dependency can be hijacked to add remote code execution capabilities. And that library is likely a lot less scrutinized than OpenSSH!

Also underrated I think is security by simplicity. OpenSSH should be extremely simple and easy to understand, such that every proposal and change could be easily scrutinized. Cryptographic constructions themselves are almost mathematically proven invulnerable, then a small codebase can go most of the way to mathematically provable security (bonus points for formal verification).

But for this kind of system there's usually some kind of human vulnerability (e.g. system updates for your distro) in the loop such that the community needs to remain watchful. (It's fun to consider an application that's proven correct and doesn't need updating every again, but usually that's not practical)
The ability to use them anonymously used to be my only criteria for interacting with an llm operated by a third party.

My anonymity for your free training data seemed a reasonable barter.

It’s the reason phind is really the only one I use at all.

But gpt4’s parent company has proven itself to thinking it is above the law, or even good faith morality, that I refuse to provide them any more data than the shit they already stole from me and my fellow creatives.

The president hardly affects anything, that's just the big sell to voters to make them feel like they have some representation in government. Both Trump and Biden nominated Jerome Powell.
Race is a political construct that varies in definition by country, culture, and year. (See how race is defined in places like Mexico and Brazil vs the US for example). People of the same race can much more variation in genetics that people of the same area. Where you live is actually a much better predictor of your genes (yeah it's correlated but obviously it's not the same thing)

Race is roughly correlated with ancestry especially in places where mating between races was discouraged. So often race is a close enough measure of family history, but make no mistake, there is no pure members of a race.

If there is a biological race like construct it doesn't match with whatever races your country's census records.
Ok but what does the ODNI say in 2024? A couple of years ago they said 'There is no one explanation for these incidents', so basically 'we don't know'. Has there been an update?

JAMA does not seem to rule out foul play, they're just saying they haven't found significant differences between control and treatment groups with regards to bio markers "except for self-reported and objective measures of imbalance; symptoms of fatigue, posttraumatic stress, and depression; and the development of functional neurological disorders in some", which is something that can be said for a lot of 'syndromes' in medical literature, syndromes that are very much real ("A syndrome is a recognizable complex of symptoms and physical findings which indicate a specific condition for which a direct cause is not necessarily understood."). Not sure if you're old enough to remember, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War_syndrome suffered from similar information battles.

So, I'm not sure I follow your arguments here, none of your quotes actually sustain your assertions.

And why is JAMA 'far less likely' to make things up vs the ODNI? What are your arguments about that statement?
You can group populations in a huge number of ways. By culture, genomes, by skin tone, by language, by size, by hair color, by attempts at testing intelligence whatever. Many of these are hereditary to various degrees, and many of these correlate to various diseases and social outcomes. That's not in serious dispute.

But race is just one specific grouping. There's nothing magic about it. It's not even consistent over space or time what the categories are or who gets categorized into which. When people say race is constructed, one thing they are saying is that our culture has produced this one grouping dominates our thinking of the variability between humans. And that critically we have embedded that into our society in a way that creates outcomes based on race.

When it comes to disease, "black" in particular is a TERRIBLE category, because there are a huge number of population groups that all get labelled black, even though they have different genetics, different issues, different ethnic behaviors. It's maybe hard to to better in the US given that the slave trade erased people's knowledge of where they came from and accelerated mixing. But also nobody is really trying to do better because racial categorization and anti-blackness is so embedded in American thinking. Compare this situation to where "white" Americans often know (or at least have some way to try to know some fraction) of their European ancestry.
I’d be worried the day someone makes a credible case for another reserve currency.

Been waiting 50 years for that…
Reification is the false assumption of using something abstract to make an objective classification. My point is in this case the underlying is not abstract, it’s as objective as it gets (your genetic makeup is a fact).
This is super cool! It's nice to see commercialization in the bioinfo space, after dealing with bedraggled servers running in your PI's lab for many years and dealing with insane packages (ever try to install QIIME?). I would have loved this job coming out of college.
Did you read the original agile manifesto? It's very reasonable.

In the 20 years since, agile morphed into the agile industrial complex, where practices at best cargo cult the original idea.
I have a pencil stab wound from grade school as well. Apparently there are many of us pencil stab victims.

The same girl came at me with scissors later on but she wasn't as successful that time.
I appreciate this, thanks. Sure, sickle cell was a really quick example and definitely highlights my presuppositions here. It was the best one I could come up with off the top of my head.

But it seems we agree that my highly generalized social construct wouldn't invalidate the biological factors at play that expose more specific racial groups to higher/lower risk of certain conditions.

My fear is that we have to make certain we are only removing the social constructs and not the biological ones when we purge racial considerations from medicine. Quality of patient care will inevitably suffer otherwise.

No more or less than any other self-sabotaging economic policy. Brexit, etc.
What I imagined from your initial description is that you were doing the following:

for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
await delay(1000);
}

However (as you are possibly well aware), this line in your example is starting all the work immediately and essentially in parallel:

const promises = Array(3).fill(null).map(() => delay(1000));

So the timing of your for...of loop is that the first element probably takes about 1000ms to complete, and then the other two seem to happen instantly.

Promise.all is just an alternative to writing the for...of await loop:

await Promise.all(promises);

I guess it relies on you already being familiar with the Promise API, but I feel that Promise.all() has slightly less cognitive load to read and its intent is more immediately clear.

A strong case for preferring the Promise.all() is that Promise.allSettled(), Promise.any() and Promise.race() also exist for working with collections of promises, and unlike Promise.all(), they would not be so easily reproduced with a one liner for...of loop, so its not unreasonable to expect that JS developers should be aware of Promise.all(), meaning there is no reason for it not to be the preferred syntax for the reasons I stated above.
There’s troubleshooting and then there’s the troubleshooting of the troubleshooting post-mortem. GP is just doing the latter.
The CDC 6600 was really a rather simple machine; it just had multiple copies of some units.
The CRAY-I was even simpler, but had 64 copies of some units. Both were designed by small teams and had simple instruction sets.

The other extreme was the Pentium Pro, the first superscalar x86 CPU. I went to the talk at Stanford where the lead designer described the architecture. That was the most insanely complicated CPU built up to that time. People were thinking RISC was the future, because nobody could possibly get something as messy as x86 to go much faster by architectural means. But Intel brought it off.

One of the speaker's graphs showed the number of engineers involved over time. That peaked around 3000 people. Just getting that many people to work together to design one tightly-coordinated thing was an impressive achievement.
I think the fact that the strike was resolved via legislative action (which I suppose, somewhat circuitously imply threats of violence) and not via overt violence is pretty telling.

While in general, strike tactics have moderated, its also true that companies' first step in breaking a strike is no longer physical violence against union organizers.
The knockee PoC should also be straightforward, can use socat + udp-listen + fork with a script that checks that input matches `sha1sum(secret||num)||num` and `num>previously_seen_num`, and if so, adds an iptables rule.

This should prevent against replays. Throw in some rate limits somewhere maybe to not get DDoSed, especially if you let socat `fork`.
Nice try CIA ;)
Do share the proof, then.
Is it?

I would wager that many people who read torrent freak weren't even born back then. I personally have very limited knowledge what happened before i was born, other than what i learned in history class and it wasn't much.

Just to clarify what Dillon said:

When you do `celest deploy` it sends your current code to the cloud. After that if your code contains: `celest.init(environment: CelestEnvironment.production);` it will use that code you just sent to the cloud. If your code contains `celest.init(environment: CelestEnvironment.local);` it will use the code you have in your local machine.

But in practice you develop locally, so you don't need to deploy all the time.

Also, you can call `celest.init` as many times as you like, while the app is running, to change from local to cloud and vice-versa, on the fly!
They said Russia would invade Ukraine. Many other people denied it. Russia invaded Ukraine. I feel this is pretty good evidence that people trust US intelligence. You can cherry pick some failures, but they generally do a good job.
Anecdote 3: Once I went to teach a class at a town at 3000m (10000ft). I started talking at my normal speed, but after the first sentense I had no air. So the rest of the class I talked at half speed and took a deep breath between sentenses.
I think my chair does this, but only when I'm not sitting in it. Maybe my body absorbs the ESD? If I'm doing anything nearby and bump the chair there's a good chance my monitor will lose signal for a second. It happens with both HDMI and Displayport with a number of different GPUs and different computers. The USB-C connection has never had a problem.

I'm in an older home with questionable wiring which I'm sure is also a factor.

I'd replace the chair but it's so dang comfy.
No joy:-(

Thank you for that response! If I understand correctly, the tree-farm trees are actually then pretty decent for construction material all-in-all.

Personally, I do wish we could strike a better balance in the US. I don't think we want these trees entirely constituting the "forests".
My first thought as well was there could be something emitting an intense signal in the vicinity that is interfering with the connection. However, there does not seem to be anything nearby (like I said, it is on a bridge going over a lake).
Dunno, there are some pretty large exceptions to that.

The AI boom is almost entirely a thing due to advancements in hardware. You simply couldn't build ChatGPT with 2014 hardware.
This looks really nice. I assume you have looked at the alternatives and created heyform with a special feature or use case in mind? If so, could you summarize the differences between heyform and for example: getinput.co, quillforms.com or snoopforms.com?

I cannot know whether the story is true, but wet leaves definitely would interfere more with the link. The typical water content (and conductivity) of tree leaves is relatively low, and it could also be a factor apart from the aforementioned sagging due to the water's weight.

It is also true though that rain water has low mineralisation, and therefore low conductivity.
> How many "process failures" are described in that process that exist in every OSS repo with volunteer unknown untrusted maintainers?

What process failures actually happened here? What changes in process do you think would have stopped this?
Unsolicited calls are annoying but not that much of a problem, because unknown number real people that have a good reason to join me can always leave voicemail, while spammers never do (not worth it for them I guess) ?
Likewise I think the author makes the same error elsewhere. TFA states:

>The contemporary challenge is the high and rising price of essential services like healthcare, higher education and law, that are monopolized by guilds of highly educated experts.

The rising cost of education and healthcare are not exactly going to the "guilds of highly educated experts" as much as they are ballooned by second-order effects from an overly complicated system. For example, the higher cost of education is not going to professors as much as it's going to the administrative costs as colleges continue to compete for a growing supply of students willing to pay (in part because the mass availability of student loans allows them an extensive line of credit and also because the labor market makes it seem like they must get a degree to be competitive).
Apparently they encrypted customer passwords instead of one-way hashing [1].

"A security researcher who analyzed the leaked data told TechCrunch that the encrypted account passcodes are easy to decipher."

"The leaked data includes AT&T customer names, home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth and Social Security numbers."

> First of all, better infrastructure doesn't just mean faster chargers.

It means faster chargers and more. Not point in defending mediocrity.

Mercedes has 400 kW chargers: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a45847770/mercedes-chargep...

Gravity has 500 kW chargers: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gravit...

North America's EV infrastructure is slowly improving.

> Second, Tesla is a private company

No, it's a public company.

> Tesla builds its own charger for its own network that charges cars that they know.

They've been charging all brands in Europe for a long time now.

> They don't need to sell superchargers to other networks or costumers.

But that's exactly what they are doing. Not even Tesla agrees with you.
I think it would help to try and secure signing infrastructure as much as possible. First of all, try to have 3 devs for any given project (this is the most difficult step). Make sure logging into or changing any of the signing stuff requires at least 2 of the devs, one to initiate the JIT and one to monitor.

Additionally, take supply chain steps like requiring independent approval for PRs and requiring the signing process to only work with automated builds. Don't allow for signing bits that were built on a dev machine.

Finally, I think it would help to start implementing signing executables and scripts which get checked at runtime. Windows obviously does executable signing, but it largely doesn't sign stuff like Python scripts. JS in the browser is kind of signed given that the whole site is signed via https. It's not perfect, but it would help in preventing one program from modifying another for very sensitive contexts like web servers.

5 years at Walmart in business operations (buyer/merchant) and then Pricing Strategy. Studied econometrics at Claremont McKenna & foundational Computer Science at Harvey Mudd, then online CS classes at SNHU (thanks to Walmart employee benefits). I love computers and consider myself to be a novice self-taught programmer. Through my career, I’ve leveraged my business experience & communication skills to place myself in more technical roles that align with my passion for learning about technology. I’m a good fit for a PM or data role in retail or supply chain, and willing to take a step back into a more junior position that brings me closer to engineering.

That doesn't make sense. If that were the case then the cold & flu wouldn't intermingle, though they very much do. And now, when fewer mitigations are around, we see people hospitalized with COVID, influenza, and RSV. Why, when mitigations are removed, is COVID no longer so dominate it's pushing the flu out?
