Yeah, that makes sense. She's pushed you away. Sounds like she's pushed everyone away. You don't have to keep fighting. I don't know if you currently live in proximity to her but if so, one day that will end and you'll have no chance at saving her then. I don't think building online platform is the fix for this, and it doesn't sound like that's what she really wants. If i armchair about my own experiences, sounds like she wants friends but is scared and doesn't remember how to get them. If i we're living the scenario that's in my head in reference to your words, i would focus my efforts on going outside and enjoying the world, then attempting to find people, you only have to force the first couple conversations before it becomes possible.

Also, is it possible she's just depressed? I her a couple therapy sessions would help. These methods are how i got out of my video game hole, and i woulda killed for someone to go through this with. I can't tell you what to do, but what I've heard so far it doesn't sound impossible. It does sound like you've accepted the barrier to assistance she's set up. Maybe when you're ready to leave someday you can make a final push
I had a bug in my code during my research degree. I was able to get some results and write it up as a thesis, submit it and get my degree.

That was almost 15 years ago. But to this day, every now and then I feel a little guilty about getting that degree because I haven’t truly solved that bug.

This reminds me of an episode of Map Men where they offhandedly point out that by plotting British place names of Viking origins, it is possible to see the true extent of their invasion: https://youtu.be/uYNzqgU7na4?si=l-b6-p4fSeviWmMs&t=310. In fact, the map they show in that episode (https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/n2s2qu/map_of_brit...) looks strikingly similar to this map I've found on Wikipedia of Celtic, Danish and English territory in 878: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:England_878.svg
1. There's nothing particularly special about Transformers, except that it was the first architecture to scale.

Transformers scale well because they leverage a GPU well. The drawback to this is the attention mechanism (RAM hungry and finite autoregressive window)

2. Transformers aren't "computers" in the turing machine sense given their finite state. You could make that argument for models with hidden states, though, like RNNs/LSTM, SSMs/Mamba, RWKV. THe issue with those is that the hidden state makes them harder to train at scale.

I think the main point is that it isn’t anyone else’s business how an individual chooses to spend their time.

Ask HN: What are some Paid Ads/Social Media agencies early-stage startups use?
I just launched a new business with a co-founder, we basically organize summer short-term study programs in Korea for high school students, and we would like to advertise on social media, google, reddit etc. and while we are good at what we do, we have ZERO clue about online advertising in general and we would like to hire an agency to handle all that for us, any recommendations? Thank you!

Stackless are very lightweight and can be done without stepping outside of C code, but it's a bit hacky, using either macros or generating the coroutine yourself. One big limitation is you have to yield from the originally called coroutine function and not from any function it called (because the coroutine has no stack of its own, but you could work around this, with more complexity). So besides the function and the memory required to save its local variables when it yields, no resources are required. These are great when you just want a basic generator or something. It's simple, platform independent, efficient and you can do it yourself (at least in C).

Stackful coroutines are more flexible in that they don't have the calling limitations since they have their own stack. The big downside is that they are much more complex to implement and use (understand). The code has to create and destroy stacks from scratch and switch contexts by saving and restoring the correct registers (so your platform has to be supported explicit). This may cause compatibility problems with some code. Those activities also require more resources, but still not very much. For some people they will be easier to use since you don't have to roll anything yourself.

Why not use Ansible for something like this?

Don’t get me wrong, I love bash scripts like any other old hat, but Ansible scratches this exact itch.

GDPR is all about being clear about the data you are collecting, what you are planning to do with it, and is what you are doing with it legitimate.

Lots of companies come unstuck because they fall into the trap of “let’s just collect everything and see what we can do with it”.

Or, I’ve got all this data I’ve collected legitimately. Who knew that you could sell it on to some data broken and make loads of money - let’s do that!

Or, I’ve collected all this data, I’m just going to keep it hanging around, oops I just put it on a public bucket and leaked it all. Hmm, I’m not even sure what data we had, have we just compromised a bunch of people? Who knows…

Not really in my culture but still necessary sometimes

I had to step in when my sister's post-natal drinking became too much. Everyone else turned a blind eye, but I couldn't stop thinking about my nephew and an emergency situation.

In a mini intervention, we snapped her out of it by saying you can't drive your baby to hospital in an emergency after 2-4 big glasses of wine (she was often on her own in the evenings); and if you did, child protective services would come down on you like hellfire. Plus a bit of "well prove us wrong that you don't need it to relax" etc.

It worked, quickly, luckily
This described my brother too. He killed himself four years ago, after about thirty years of just that kind of depression. And I was my little brother's keeper damn it, so it's my failure. Ever since I keep reliving it and wondering what I could have done. All I come up with are fantasy scenarios in which I somehow make us both wildly successful. But even that's a stretch given his outlook. I fantasize about some kind of extreme intervention, but that would probably have just alienated him from me along with everyone else.

Not that you shouldn't try. I hope you find a way.

Nice article, congratulations. I have worked with information systems all my life and one of the biggest insights I had was that the transaction, a purchase or a sale, which is the basis of the ERP system, is converted into 2 flows, the money that enters or leaves on one side and the product or service in another, this is accounting double entry. It may be obvious and simple, but I see that few people in my area have this understanding.

“Bugs are not scary”

Generally agree with this section. In my experience bugs are at best a nuisance, at worst a fun puzzle to solve.

You know what’s scary? New requirements. Those can completely up-end your program’s entire design and even just thinking about their future existence can cause you to do all kinds of weird stuff.
How did they get a free pass?
That's a fine stance if staying home is an option for you, but many people are not that fortunate with their logistical and financial situation.

Meanwhile, it transpires that the outside world is full of people who I am sure are upstanding and willing to self-sacrifice for their fellow man in theory, but will point blank refuse to bear the mild inconvenience of a piece of cloth over their face in shared spaces for the comfort of those around them in practice.

I mean, it's not news; most humans have never cared much about the welfare of strangers; people doing what they want and ignoring the externalities happens all the time - smoking in public spaces, drink driving... the pandemic simply served to viscerally ram home just how self-centered we all are.

And thus we come full circle to the start of the thread. Hell is other people. The more we interact with other people, the more obvious this becomes. As our world becomes more connected, no room is left for illusions on the subject; it's little wonder teens end up holing up in their rooms avoiding everyone.
Based on my experience, they'll immediately initiate a review of things. They might plug a couple of small holes if there is anything obvious. Then the process will drag on, and the sense of urgency and concern will start to get diluted as other newer issues come up in day to day operations. They might finally get some recommendations, and if those recommendations are huge, there won't be a budget. So it'll get put into next years budget request, reviewed in a few months, and then there is a 50/50 chance they get funding approval to do anything major.

During this, it will become apparent that this was an inside job, and the attackers had knowledge of the system, and thus most common hardening or mitigation procedures would be less effective against an informed attacker. Because of that, the feeling of a need to install the most robust systems with offsite backups will drop to near zero.

The article doesn't even state that the video system was in fact disabled, or that they were using wifi cameras at all. Obviously, the police are not disclosing many details, it is possible that they have video from the robbery and are simply not saying it.
Yesss. Gnome also does this with its file manager. Worst design ever. Second to only S0 sleep. I use Pcmanfm in all my gnome installations to have sane file navigation.
I lean in the opposite direction. When someone random like a new neighbor initially asks me what I do, I say "I'm a coder at an insurance company". I teach fifth graders Python in an "Advanced Coding Club". When people ask me what I do for hobbies, one of them is "learning new languages to code with". I will only go into more detail if they are also technical and want more details about what it is I code.

I don't think of it as degrading the thing that I do. I think of it as boiling it down to the simplest description, and I find it more refreshing than "software developer" or "computer programmer" or f"{word} engineer".
> The other problem is that not having social media and mobile devices can be alienating and ostracizing, especially for teenagers.

Sorry, I see this a lot but: oh well? They'll get over it. Social media on the other hand gets its hooks in deep.

If every teenager were guzzling gallons of soda everyday and telling them to stop "alienated and ostracized" them, I'd still do it for the good of their health.
Social media is designed to make money, whether that be from selling data or conglomerating it and advertising to you. They want the user to be purely a consumer. They are designed to make people reactive and have a short attention span, they are easier to sell to.the users mental reward system is essentially brainwashed to be an easier target to sell to.

Yes, if you can't find a successor you trust then let someone fork the project and build trust from 0 rather than transferring trust others' trust in you by handing over the project.

You (and I) are right. Now for others to realize... it can be a long road.
they've managed to hit a good starting price but it still feels positioned like their phones.

for context: you can get better sounding non-anc tws for a third of the price, or good budget anc options under 100 usd. i have been personally using a pair of jabra (non-anc) for more than past couple years that i bought for under 40 usd on discount.

if they sell individual headphone for those who lost an individual piece for a fair price, perhaps there is a niche for them in terms of value. otherwise the one-off just buy a new pair for competing offerings are very close alternatives.
> Just because I once entered "Aldi" manually, now that always seems to have an extremely heavy positive weighting, even though I've only actually wanted it a very small number of times and "also" is far more likely as it is used at a 20:1 ratio, and I'm endlessly deleting "Aldi".

I'm using Google Pinyin Input, which is discontinued. (I use it anyway because the replacement input methods are worse. Don't ask me why they stripped useful functionality in order to replace it with nothing.)

It has swipe input, but as far as I can tell it isn't possible to add words to the swipe input dictionary. However, if that were possible, your problem wouldn't exist - the way the system works is that you swipe something, the system's first guess appears in the text input, and a bar of suggestions appears over the top of the keyboard. If the first guess was wrong, you can select from the suggestion bar, and the word in the text input will be changed to whatever you selected.

So I'm kind of bemused at the idea that you need to be deleting wrong guesses.

A list of AI analytics tools
...not to mention the 'Aaaaarrrgh!!!!' moment I had when finding that the brand spanking new network adapter I had purchased during my student days had no floppy with drivers in the box.

Oh no. The manual stated I could simply go online to find the required drivers on the new-fangled world wide web.

Which, incidentally, was why I had bought the adapter in the first place.
Native iOS also has a loop, it’s literally called the run loop.
It can give you ideas and lead you to new paths when problem solving, you just have to be aware that its knowledge is planet wide but inch deep. I lost the count of how many times it conceptually gets "above the target" rather nicely and then its implementation is like a blind person throwing darts. I also lost the count of how many times it describes the code it wrote and it's like it has two brains, one which writes the descriprion and the other, ahem, a little bit "slower", that writes the code.

Classic debate looks like this:

- Hey how do you implement X in lang Y using Z?
- Certainly! Blablablah this code adds 1 and the return is 3!
- Your code returns 5 and it seems to add 2, fix it.
- I apologize for the oversight, here's the fixed version (replies with the same, maybe slightly altered, but still broken, code)

Well I guess ultimately one can't expect miracles from a statistics based token generation machine.

Sometimes I do wonder if the entire gen AI craze of the last few years is just one massive bubble and we're actually nowhere near AGI.

All the evidence I see when interacting with these models points towards them "knowing" things, but not "understanding" things, a context aware planet-scale Wikipedia. (Don't get me wrong, I still think LLMs are life changing for language specific tasks like translation etc., but they're just not in any way new forms of intelligent beings, which is what a lot of mainstream population and even some investors seem to think).
> [...] but it is hard to optimize prompts when you cannot build a test-suite of questions and correct replies against which you can test and improve the instruction prompt.

I think this is because your approach isn't right. This tech isn't really unit-testable in the same sense. In fact, for many use cases, you may want non-deterministic results by design.

Instead, you probably need evaluations. The idea is that you're still building out "test" cases, but instead of expecting a specific result each time, you get a result that you can score through some means. Each test case produces a score, and you get a rollup score for the suite, and that's how you can track regressions over time.

For example, in our use case, we produce structured JSON that has to match a spec, but we also want to have the contents of that valid-to-spec JSON object be "useful". So there's a function that defines "usefulness" based on some criteria that I've put together since I'm a domain expert. This is something I can evolve over time, using real-world inputs that produce bad or unsatisfying outputs as new evaluations for the evaluation suite.

Fair warning though, it's not very easy to get started with, and there's not a whole lot of information about doing it well online.

Mischaracterizing the issue, which is people handing over (or having taken from them) responsibility, to the state, for something they should be taking responsibility for.

No chance your father or your joiner friend hadn't seen those ads of the saws which automatically stop on contact. But they chose not to buy one, because they decided they didn't need one. They had that choice. Or if before those existed, to use a hand saw.

Regulation is nothing more than saying "we're superior to you in making choices for you, so we'll do so". And it's made not by efficient innovative geniuses, but by the same people who run the DMV. And it's not imposed on children by parents, it's on grown adults by other grown adults with no legal accountability. And it ossifies technology by locking in certain measures which will quickly drift out of date. And, as we've seen with the FDA and Opioids, it gives a get out of jail free card to wrongdoers who game the rules, because they can point to their compliance and say "so look, we followed the rules, we shouldn't be liable".

It's just unbelievable people think regulation is in any way a good thing.
