Taking the Swift Playground app as precedent, I would assume that you could very likely submit an emulator app that allows users to “develop” and “test” their own game “projects” inside it.

Apple would very likely counter by picking a nit about the distinction between ROMs (object code) and source code, though.

But there’s a (to me, quite pleasing) counter to this: support import of / repo sync with game “source code” projects… where the source code can just be ASM, and so a disassembly of an existing published game will work just fine.

This tactic is would push the responsibility for preventing IP theft off onto source code hosting services (e.g. GitHub… but self-hosted ones do exist, wink wink); and I think Apple’s lawyers would be pretty satisfied with that arrangement.
Yeah, the developer experience (DevEx) around diagrams is still really poor, despite some sterling efforts by folks behind Mermaid, PlantUML, D2, etc etc.

I want something that will use (text based, tree-sitter diffable, and git stored) architecture diagrams as its source of truth. Then compare those diagrams with actual code, and give us meaningful/useful divergence metrics. And from the source of truth, apply style transforms to display in different ways. D2 can do something like that last bit, with its different layout engines.

It feels like we already have the information available: we have (terraform) code that produces infrastructure, and (nodejs) code that produces applications. So how can take that structural information and turn it into something useful? I kind of like the idea of a ML model that gives you some standard views of your diagrams, then asks you which bits are useful, and which bits you want to hide/discard from the final output. Going back and forth with that a bit would produce a JSON file that tells the transform engine what to display. I don't know if an LLM can be prompted to do something like that, but a model-assisted workflow might be useful.

I also want to be able to compare before and after architectural decisions. Or compare the infrastructure and application patterns against industry best practices. Plus being able to automatically spit out updated, accurate diagrams for leadership would be great.
Depends on FAA involvement in each launch. In case of an airline FAA controls each flight for hours. In case of a rocket launch, most trouble comes from "don't go in that area" type of commitment, plus investigations of something went wrong.

Given that each airline can keep hundreds of machines in the air at any one time, and rocket launches happen weekly at best, paying 10% of the overall fee does not look fair.

Would be happy to know what aviation specialists think.
Sounds like telling the goose laying golden eggs to start paying for the water it's swimming in or move to another pond pronto.
In my particular case it was that in hindsight I don't think I was as close to a lot of those people as I thought I was at the time. When I moved away, many of them didn't even really say goodbye or goodluck or anything like that.

I kept in touch with a few of them for a couple of years after I left, visited a couple of times. Then they got married, had kids, and I hear from them much less. My understanding is that many childless people have a similar experience where their friends who marry and have kids move on from them fairly soon after, as their focus moves more onto their kids

I agree with the sentiment here, education is needed and finance / bribery is a good example. At a certain point though, you have to wonder what is wrong with society where "Don't kill a bunch of people through negligence" becomes something that needs to be educated.
ha!

In my defence I was demonstrating the way that passive voice can also be used to obscure responsibility after the event, as in "mistakes were made"
What you think about landfill and recycling is probably wrong
Part of the point of rewards cards is to encourage people with more choice (ie you) to use cards from that issuer. If the rewards are bad then you use a competitor card. If the rewards are good you use the issuer’s card and they make money on interchange. The cost of paying out the rewards decreases the amount the issuer makes from interchange, but they still make a profit. So never gaining from the points is probably bad – you’re basically giving that money to the issuer – and you could be better served by cashback instead. The point of using points from an issuers perspective is that they can have companies subsidise the cost of the rewards by treating the available rewards as ad space. They have eg some hotel chain pay the issuer to create some ‘money off these hotels’ reward, potentially also offering a higher-than normal value for the points. The hotel chain is happy because they expect this promotion is made to people who are more likely to spend more at their hotels even after the discount (or just because it brings people to their hotels rather than competitors). The card issuer is happy because they make more money for a given % of interchange paid out in rewards. The consumer is potentially happier with the card because they now get slightly more valuable rewards. The competing hotels now getting less custom are unhappy about it.

I think it’s reasonable to think points systems are, in some sense, trying to trick you, but also silly to ignore them because of this. Coupons are also trying to trick you in a similar way but that similarly doesn’t mean they’re a bad deal.
I know you’re joking around, but it’s not though… it’s GoTrue, Storage, Realtime, Kong, PostgREST, etc.

In my experience with aphantasia, I struggle with the ability to describe people based on their physical attributes (my parents for example) but I think it's distinct from face blindness. I can easily recognize people that I know purely based on their faces, but I don't believe that people with face blindness could. I just can't visualize what they look like mentally.
I'm curious how people are handling multi-lingual embeddings.

I've found LASER[1] which originally had the idea to embed all languages in the same vector space, though it's a bit harder to use than models available through SentenceTransformers. LASER2 stuck with this approach, but LASER3 switched to language-specific models. However, I haven't found benchmarks for these models, and they were released about 2 years ago.

Another alternative would be to translate everything before embedding, which would introduce some amount of error, though maybe it wouldn't be significant.

The problem is, there are very many chemicals, those chemicals in many ways power our modern world, and they can all end up in drinking water or ingested by some other means. If you took every chemical off of the market that didn’t go through a randomized controlled double blind study, billions of people would die. Literally. How many people are fed thanks to fertilizers and pesticides that we know would be actively harmful if you consume them in quantity? Or at least don’t know would be unharmful.

It’s not practical to ban everything that we don’t know can be ingested safely. It’s just not even an intelligent idea. It’s merely a response to hysteria.
Tesla does seem to be becoming a partisan brand, which strikes me as unwise.
It’s up to voters whether they want to subsidize war-machine manufacturing in China (which is what vehicle building capabilities are for real politik). China subsidized their entire industry for this reason.

Would you have two different systems, one for low risk and another for high risk messages? How would triage and enforcement work?

What it sounds like is that you are proposing a system that is less secure compared to what is already in place and this is what people are protesting against.
This article is actually good at that.

Don't look too much at the Greek letters, look at the tables and code instead. A DCT is just a bunch of multiplications, additions and a lookup table. The approach to derive the Walsh-Hadamard transform is actually very computer sciencey. It is made using a recursive algorithm, it then takes advantage of the fact that a+b==b+a to reorder the rows. There is even a trick that uses a bitwise AND.

As a programmer I find it much easier to start from here: tables, loops, and simple operations like multiplication and addition. And when I finally understand how a computer does the thing, maybe go back to the maths to see if I can get more insight.

In the end, the only appropriate answer is "get good at maths". The question is how to achieve that. And if you have a programmer mindset like I do (and I guess like many people here) and struggle with maths, I recommend trying the bottom up approach. Write the code, have it actually show visuals and play sounds, play with the parameters and see what changes and what doesn't change.

The other part is overcoming the language barrier, I am still struggling with that. Mathematicians use barbaric name like eigenvectors for "stuff that won't change", they call "integration" an addition in a loop and write it with a weird sigma thing, or a weird "S" thing when there are a lot of iterations over very small numbers. But in the end, it is not that different from reading Perl :)
This paper suggests that pseudocode is more understandable to LLM's than natural language. So building off of that, one should not write comments in the method bodies, one should translate a function body (in mixed English and pseudocode) as a unit. LLM's can memorize a lot but there is a limit so I guess it would have to be structured as a multi-level translation. You mention in the Readme that it is persnickety, this is probably due to the use of "auto-complete" in the prompt. I would use an intro like "here is a function body in pseudocode", then prompts "split it into chunks by inserting labels", "translate whole body preserving chunk labels", "re-translate each chunk using whole body as context", "fix type errors". I think the biggest issues besides prompt engineering are cost and latency though.
Im unsurprised by the headline. Musk's penchant for ranting about conspiracy theories, racist dog whistles, and fearmongering about the latest boogeyman of the week must be a PR nightmare.

Its a shame because SpaceX is really really awesome and very very important! I do wish SpaceX could either separate itself from him at least publicly or something because he is a huge liability for them.

Anyway ill never own a Tesla not just because of Musk but because their interior design is garbage and they are synonymous with NIMBY's who spend their days fighting tooth and nail in their facebook groups and HOAs to prevent any real progress in the USA.
it doesn't look they fine-tune those models on any of modern foundational models, which likely produces huge performance gap compared to OpenAI embedding for example..

What is everyone using embeddings for, and which mdels? I built a RAG last year (for searching long documents) but found it a bit disappointing. I tested it with OpenAI and with SentenceTransformers (instructor-xl or a smaller variant). Apparently they've come a long way since then though.

Currently I'm working on an old fashioned search engine (tf-if + keyword expansion). Apparently that can work better than vector databases in some cases:

I’m surprised that there aren’t projects that aggregate a bunch of these known exploits together with these security search engines to find vulnerable devices and use them to create a TOR-like network of proxy server nodes. Presumably most of these vulnerable devices are running in homes of consumers with residential internet, making the traffic hard to identify as being from a VPN service. Not that I’m suggesting anyone actually do this since it would be highly illegal…
I'm not sure partisan is the right word - I don't think Musk's politics align neatly with either American political party, he's just morphed into a very vocal garbage person.
It's a reminder that all of Apple's protestations about the apocalypse happening if they open up their platform (Flash games, iMessage, no native file manager app until 2017), are really just cover for Apple to promote Apple Music, Apple Arcade and iCloud.

Meanwhile on Android, transfer some files to local storage, point your emulation app to that director, and that's it.
I feel you. Protobuf is the organizational equivalent of adding more lanes to congested roads or mandating more parking spaces. It leads to more cars.
Humans are really good at subtlety and research. I guess my point is this:

pre-LLM era XZ-style exploit: takes 5 years to attain developer trust, then you merge malicious patches and hope nobody sees them

post-LLM era XZ-style exploit: takes 5 years to attain developer trust, then you merge patches that were written slightly faster and hope nobody sees them

For 99% of people, there isn't a meaningful difference between these situations. I really don't think there are people out there that couldn't write a buffer overflow exploit in 5 years but could groom maintainers for trust in the meantime.

The code-writing and prose bit is the easy part. The social engineering and deception is hard enough for a human, and Turing-assured destruction for LLMs.
I remember one of my first computers gifted to me with Windows 3.1(1?) on it and a bunch of games installed on it. I had a lot of fun with that computer.

One day I managed to screw up Windows so it wouldn't start anymore. Luckily they were kind enough to include a copy of Windows on floppy disks. One of the disks (7/13?) had an error on it, and I never was able to reinstall Windows. Damn you, GDI.DLL. I know it was always GDI.DLL it would fail on because I probably tried to reinstall it ten times, hoping for a different outcome.

Back to DOS for me. At least I learned batch scripting...

1. pg_dump the old database

2. pg_restore to the new database

3. setup replication between the two databases

4. redeploy your service. Usually, deployments are hot swapped so you continue ingesting into your old database, replicating to the new one, until the deployment is complete. If you use sequential identifiers, I don't think it's possible to do this without dropping a few records due to duplication, unfortunately. If duplication is something you cannot handle, you should deploy two instances of your application in parallel, take the original instance down, wait for replication to complete, and then switch to the new one. This will probably be <10s downtime.

I did something similar recently, but I switched both application hosts and database providers. End user DNS replication would theoretically take some time, but for me consumption dropped to zero within a minute or so https://shottr.cc/s/1ngg/SCR-20240407-hoa.png
1) We'd generally expect a computer to be better at mindless repetitive rule application than us. This is what they excel at.

2) While these are just LLMs (specifically, pre-trained transformers), they do have a place on the spectrum of intelligence, and some insiders are claiming "scale is all you need" to reach human-level AGI.

It's useful to step back, look at simple examples like this, and realize how far they are from being generally intelligent, as well as where our intuition for what they might be good at (repetitive tasks) is wrong due to their specific architecture.

If you're in the US, or the place you're trying to distribute to is under US jurisdiction, the DMCA is what forbids you from distributing DRM decryption keys. That's why emulators for modern systems usually don't include the keys, and make the user provide their own copy of them.

> What I'd expect instead, based on my having taken exactly one class in economics as an undergraduate, is subtler effects that play out over time. Maybe the general growth in prices over time slows down a titch until a new equilibrium point is met. Maybe wages rise a little bit because retailers can afford to pay their employees more. Maybe life gets easier for smaller businesses that have less negotiation power than the multinational behemoths. Maybe some bank executive somewhere decides not to buy that third luxury car at the same time as ten thousand restaurant owners decide that, just today, they will treat themselves to an espresso drink from the coffee shop instead of making drip coffee at home. That kind of thing.

To veer a little off-topic, this is why my biggest economic policy dream would be banning or severely restricting ads and marketing.

obviously gradually, and over many years, to make the transition manageable. e.g. increase taxation on marketing expenses by a few % a year so it is less and less financially viable.
