I definitely wouldn't make the Deno sandbox my only line of defense — I'm a strong proponent of defense in depth. Now having said that, there's definitely a precedent for trusting V8's sandboxing capabilities. Cloudflare is running untrusted user code across their entire network and relying on V8 isolates as a sandboxing mechanism for Cloudflare Workers. I'm not sure I would go that far, but I do think we should be taking advantage of the strides browser developers have been making from a security perspective. When I re-watched Ryan Dahl's original conference talk where he introduced Deno, the sandboxing aspect was the part that resonated the most with me. But again, it's always best to have multiple layers of security. You should sandbox your applications and audit your dependencies, those mitigation techniques aren't mutually exclusive.
> Also you might find this normal but I cannot imagine my female colleagues being amused at me calling one of them up asking to “consult” about a name solely because she’s a woman.

I'd certainly hope it wouldn't be "solely" because she's a woman. There's no people you'd be interested in input from that happen to be women?

A project name is something you'd want to throw around to a few people (ideally with different perspectives) and make sure it conveys what you intend and has the right tone and such.
From a digital historian perspective, I do like the idea of DRM that is just there temporarily to ensure the fat-head of sales before being removed... especially when there's an economic cost spurring companies to not keep it around indefinitely.
When IMGZ was first announced a few years ago[1], someone mentioned that the marketing style was "extremely distasteful and offensive."[2]

I had the same thought. If I was going to pay someone, it would be nice if the recipient sounded more professional.

I guess the marketing didn't work.

1.5.29-rc2 was tagged on 9 Nov 2023 [1] and, as an example, did not contain "N_("CJK Unified Ideographs Extension I")," in src/ibusunicodegen.h [2].

Commit 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae from 28 Feb 2023 introduced this change instead. It's the same person who tagged 1.5.29-rc2 and committed 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae which is typically an indication the maintainer tar'd their checked out git folder and accidentally included changes not get committed.

The question raised is whether anyone is auditing these differences before the checksummed tarballs are added to package repositories.

I feel pretty strongly that the middle class stopped stocking its pantry with cans. Fresh ingredients not only taste better but are usually cheaper, and work from home only gave people more free time for the prep work involved.

It's not even about cost, but taste and showing off to the neighbors at the next gathering.

Well for me it was a matter of how much time it took. I spent enough time understanding the Central Processor with all the weird CDC-specific terms. I had to reread several times before I realized Increment instructions did load/store. Oh, and that "bootloader" was called "dead start".

The peripheral processors were indeed a 10-way SMT thing, which they called a barrel processor. Each thread had three registers but they operated in really strange ways, and I just didn't figure that out.

There were other details like bandwidth being tied to bank count, which I also didn't go into.
I generally mean a member based organizations, could be a book club or professional association or anything of the sorts.

Not every club charges dues, but those that do generally start off with a google form and a pinky promise that you'll send your dues after submitting the form.

Yes, this is a fundamental weakness with LLMs. Unfortunately this is likely unsolvable because the search space is exponential. Techniques like beam search help, but can only introduce a constant scaling factor.

That said, LLM reach their current performance despite this limitation.
Worse, it enables features based on local system packages whose dependencies aren’t captured by the package dependencies.

At least for a time, this was a horrible problem in Yocto.
I was immediately reminded of Gavin Belson from Silicon Valley saying:

Interesting breakdown. 1/3 are retired or students, I wonder how many people moving in to California are not working? This article also seems to say that the majority of people leaving the state earn below average income and don't have a college degree, so it seems like California has become too expensive for them perhaps? Again I'm not 100% sure it's a sign of economic malaise, people leave when it gets too expensive.
There has been a dip in California population since covid (https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/population-ex...) which makes sense with what I've experience anecdotally with people I know who've ditched SF for NY (and elsewhere). Definitely SF seems to be on the decline. The people I know didn't leave because of some kind of "failed state" vibe though, they left cause SF was going too right wing for them.
This is true to a degree though there are high profile actors such as Yann LeCunn who have ethical boundaries. Yann wants AI to be open source and available to all, and he's straight up said that he won't work for a company that doesn't follow this principle. Zuck might not have a hand to play in terms of AI products, but even if he did he'd have to tread carefully because the guy that sets his whole AI direction and stewards all their research would 100% walk if he wasn't happy with the ethical direction of the company.
This is the most addictingly fun thing I've played since the first time I tried Threes. Truly you've got something good here.
Might be the case but I remember the day I got one as a kid, unknown to me this was the reason. Oh the stress of signing my name in permanent ink on this very small piece of light cardstock to which I needed access if required by the government and yet must not be lost. How can something so small not go missing? How could I possibly sign my name again like that to prove that I am me or that I am the legitimate bearer of more numbers than my parent’s telephone?

That's actually a good principle to adopt overall.

We should treat this attack like an air plane accident and adopt new rules that mitigate the chances of it being successfully carried out again. We might not be able to vet every single person who contributes, but we should be able to easily separate out noisy test data.
A lot of people only seem to want huge SUVs because of the safety issues caused by other huge SUVs.

People definitely don’t like the high costs. And I’m not sure how much they love the really big ones, only the smaller.

They’d live the better fuel economy of smaller vehicles. They hated SUVs at first and had to be convinced by years and years of ads and product placement.

Yes some tiny part of the populace will freak out about their rights to 20ft tall SUVs. Let them have them, just put an insane tax on them to cover the horrific externalities.

No one likes new cars pushing $40k. Sitting in an SUV and seeing the hood of the truck next to you is over your head.

Some people didn’t want seatbelts. Or airbags. Or helmets on motorcycles. It’s ok to move forward anyway.
Bun's equivalent of "npm i" is extremely fast, at least an order of magnitude faster on all 3 of my machines.

You didn't even cite an actual study, you just implied there was one... and most of the studies on homelessness I've seen come from groups that have either questionable methodology or you have to wonder about their motivation. You just hand waved that you read one that said something like you were Moses coming down from Mt Sinai with the word of god. Sorry, but maybe you're the ignorant/foolish/naive one for believing anything you read because it reinforces what you want to hear (confirmation bias). And why can people not criticize California without someone flipping out? I live here, I know what's good and bad. Anyone who comes here from Europe is shocked at the wealth inequality, homelessness, open drug use, open prostitution in LA/SF, etc. I'm not even saying something controversial. I truly think it says more about the people who want to put their blinders on and say "California is perfect and above criticism!" It's not!

I've had a feeling for a while that they've hit a plateau in terms of how much "intelligence" they can squeeze from all the text in the world. Many openai and other researchers have publicly claimed that they need better data for better models. This to me feels like a desperate attempt to collect more data than they already are to improve their models.
I don’t disagree. But there are lots of easy ways to cut traffic deaths besides trying to turn back behavior changes of the last few years.

I got audited once. They had my old address, and I was very worried it would appear I was avoiding them. I kept calling my agent and leaving messages- but I never got a hold of anyone. I reached out to a CPA who said I should fax the agent instead. I got a response after that! This was only 10 years ago- so don’t underestimate the power of a fax when dealing with the IRS!
I also found that going to play actual pinball is different from the virtual gameplay I had become used to. You're right about the rules and such — you can save a lot of quarters learning the rules at home — then head to the local Beercade.

I suppose it's possible to be into virtual pinball more than actual pinball? I can say that when I play an actual pinball table (at the Beercade) often it is in too dark an environment and the playfield lights flash so brightly that it can actually be difficult to follow the ball.

I owned an actual Stargate (commercial video game) machine when I was in college. (My wife has a friend that have a World Cup Soccer pinball table in their basement. Pretty sure it doesn't get played much — cool to have when company comes over though.) Sadly it more or less just sat there after the first few days or so of excitement. I imagine any one pinball table would go the same way. I could be mistaken though (and Medieval Madness would no doubt be one of the tables most likely to have staying power — or is that playing power).

As I mentioned though, I am kind of into the art of pinball. I enjoy exploring the variety of tables, the history of pinball, by way of virtual pinball "representations". The wife too likes to learn new tables for a few weeks or so. And then she enjoys moving on to a new table that I pull down.
The title would be April 1 worthy, but it's just a simulation
I think its not a good idea to teach the statistics and model of I.Q. and not teach the socialised history of its (mis)application. Science and society are inexorably interlinked and there is probably no field of human endeavour which does not have downsides, which therefore need to be discussed in learning about that field. I do not believe I.Q. is any different in that regard.

The relationship of I.Q. to the eugenics movement, its application to social policy justifying the sterilisation of people at the low extreme, to exclude immigrants, to argue for substantive racial differences justifying laws of exclusion and difference, I really don't think can be ignored.

"Importance" is in the eye of the beholder I find. If it's not important to you, so be it. I don't doubt there is a model of intelligence which an I.Q. test can try to quantify but I doubt intelligence a singleton, is quantifiable so simply, or based on the evidence to hand that rules based on the statistics of intelligence do very much good.
did you mean to use a different word than "aristocracy?"

Something that they can do because they raised $50m last month. But how are they going to repay that investment? Their FAQ makes the business plan sound like a work in progress, which is unusual when you've raised that much money.

I tried Arc but found myself less productive with it because I had over twenty years of experience with the existing products. I would have to use it consistently for months to realize an uncertain pay off.
There are so many things that are poorly thought out or underspecified in JSON, it's amazing that it got so widely adopted for interop. No wonder that it became a perpetual source of serialization bugs.

The Hiveeyes Project – flexible beehive monitoring platform and toolkit
> Shows what's really missing from these old projects

Well that's kind of the opportunity there, right? Usually there are more modern solutions:

- use GH actions to do multi platform / multi-compiler tests

- use modern packaging solutions (eg, convert setup.py to a Pep 518 style pyproject.toml)

- publish to package repos (eg, many python projects are not on pypi)

This kind of work was baffling to me before I started working with gpt4 - my main struggle was understanding existing solutions, reading the documentation of existing build and packaging systems, and troubleshooting complex error logs.

At first gpt4 simply helped me when my own reading inabilities kicked my butt. But then I got better at understanding existing solutions and proposing new work. Now I can describe things at a high level and give GPT the right context it needs to propose a good first draft solution. And I understand things well enough to manually validate the solution. On top of that we also go ahead and test the solution, and fix issues that come up.

As a result I'm simply not scared of build systems anymore, no matter how byzantine or poorly documented. I'm vastly more capable of completing improvements then I was a year ago, and have half a dozen major upgrades under my belt.

I don't think that this will ever work automatically given that even gpt4 still hallucinates and lacks big picture thinking and awareness of up to date best practices.

However I do see it as a huge Force Multiplier for our loose community of volunteers.

We'll have to break down the assumptions that GPT always hallucinates uncontrollably. That's simply not true - GPT4 usually hallucinates in ways that are easy to fix by checking documentation and running tests. It usually introduces less errors than I do if I'm new to a system, and with its help I can correct more errors than I can on my own.

I see it as a huge win, if we can educate people in the community.

Not only did it mandate authentication, but there was also a Killswitch, and there's no other reason for that than because you have reasons to suspect someone may have access to this sensitive world-stopper exploit and use it against you. That leaves simply a (reasonably, but still) paranoid person, and people worried about that+consequences are unlikely to have the mental well-being to pull this off, or, a group of people.
>Pretty much every state has zoning laws because among other things, people in suburbs don't want huge apartment complexes popping up next to them.

Do you not get that it's all relative? If California was building enough homes for its population growth and now it isn't--that certainly impacts prices. This is why Japan has cheap homes--even though they have tough zoning laws. It's all a game of manipulation.

Yes, other states have zoning laws, but they don't cripple new housing development. California has absurd laws that allow neighbors to challenge homes being built on empty lots or about the design choices of someone else's home. You claim to be for freedom in another comment then defend this? Which is it? Do you want an open market or not? Or are you just for what benefits you? That's fine, but be honest about it.

> not everyone has to live in the same city, and there's always more land to build on

This is the stupid and selfish talking again. This is why the Bay Area has workers living in Gilroy and Livermore commuting to SF and San Jose. This isn't good for anyone. San Francisco doesn't have to stay 2 stories tall... that's all a charade to prevent housing supply increasing.

>But plenty (most? idk) of those who left the area still stayed elsewhere in CA.

I actually don't disagree with this, but curious if you can cite anything because I had workers move to Florida, Montana, Colorado, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, NYC, Utah... and none of them ever returned. I do think a lot stayed in California--I for one moved from SF to Burlingame and then to Sacramento then to San Diego. I do think there would be some interesting migration patterns to track.
