It upsets me because it's so basic. Doesn't it seem like we should have a better system by now?

Specifically when I install multiple versions of a library, or install a new library that I don't know, I don't want to dink with the path. I don't see any reason I should have to run this command `export PATH="/path/to/executable:$PATH`. I think that this is bad for 3 reasons:

1. It's error prone because you can easily make typos
2. You have to dink with it to switch which executable you want
3. This is such an insanely common task, it seems ludicrous that we haven't come up with a simple command to register executables!
"kill", .. why would anyone kill for a fraction of a second in this case? Informed folks know that LLM hosters aren't raking in the big bucks.

> Currying is a subset of partial application

No, it isn't; it's a different operation.

Currying refers to building (effectively) functions of multiple arguments out of only one argument functions (such as in a language that has only those).

A curried function is not understood to have been applied, partially or otherwise; none of its arguments have been bound to values, thereby reducing its arity.

Partial application is an operation that requires one or more arguments. Currying does not require arguments; rather, the result of currying requires arguments (all of them).

There is a sort of partial application (effectively) going on when the curried function is applied to the arguments, which has to be done one argument at a time through the chain. At each step, one more argument is bound, and fewer remain.

There are hundreds of thousands of examples of abandoned mines in dire need of reclaimation, btw ... in one state of one single country:

Extensive mining has occurred in Western Australia since the mid-1800s resulting in tens of thousands of abandoned mine features across the Western Australia.

https://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/Geological-Survey/Abandoned-Mines-...

There's a program to very slowly deal with as many as possible using money taxed from current and future minesites .. but this is underfunded and overwhelmed.

It's a similar story in South Africa, other African states, China, Mongolia, Russia, former USSR satellites, Canada, USofA, etc.

Dunno whether S&P (peer link) still do abandoned mine GIS data .. we did before we sold that to them.

So the history is awesome. But that's kind of the problem. Times change, and I think it would be so nice to just have a simple utility that whenever someone installs a package, it automatically registers all executables, you know?

Do you ever get frustrated when you install a library or something and can't seem to figure out where the executable is, cause you installed it with brew or something?

To me the real benefit is when people install a program, that they instantly get access without having to update their path manually! Plus by default the installation wouldn't override the existing items because they would just go second or third in line in the database.

I'm surprised more people don't think this would be a good idea. I honestly thought it would make all our lives so easy, not having to dink with path.

Honestly, do you find PATH frustrating? Or am I the only one?

I understand where you're coming from on these 100%, but I believe some of the conclusions might be more dire than they are in practice.

Both identity and efcore both work fine with F#. What _doesn't_ work is the EF Core design-time support (having models auto-create your schema) and scaffolding razor pages with F# (razor pages just doesn't work in general).

Calling these APIs (authing your users, and interacting with the database) work fine.

I've used mostly database-first design, and tweaked the stock identity pages code anyways so these things haven't affected me a ton (though I _would_ like to use razor pages, since it seems nice and simple for the 80% use-case).
book by the same name is just amazing, highly recommended.

Soy sauce in solid form is an excellent description. I actually do this in reverse in Taiwan, where they have a type of thick soy sauce called 醬油膏. It's used in the local cuisine to build umami flavor in sauces and stir-fries or sometimes as a condiment, but it also works as a marmite-replacement. I tend to put it in a dish with some olive oil for margarine-replacement and dip chunks of bread into it to get my "foreign" food fix.

I imagine most people from soy sauce eating countries in Asia would understand the flavor profile, it might be more the combination with toast that feels unexpected.
Hi,

I am interested in the software engineer roles you mentioned. I have shared my resume over email.
I believe you can only make playlists available offline. So, you would have to create a playlist containing that single song and then there should be a download button (didn't test it).

What a nightmare.
It's curious to me how Plex is allowed to exist on the App Store?
I’ve been through the process once, so I’m certainly not an expert.

My guess is that it probably would have been possible. At that point, we’re already under contract (which means our offer has been accepted), and finalizing the loan and home owner’s insurance was part of closing.

The reason I didn’t dig into it too much at the time is I figured that the bank was probably a more sophisticated purchaser than I would have been, especially given the time pressure of needing to make a (reasonably) quick decision.

So I decided that, despite my immense annoyance and not being able to see the homeowners insurance agreement before the closing was complete, that I’d accept the bank’s choice, and use my first year of homeownership to learn the contract and decide if I wanted to change carriers.

I founded a business in Germany, and the tax departments decided to asses me for 2024 to an amount of 100% of my combined 2020-2022 turnover. Instopped trading halfway through 2023, abd there will be no turnover for 2024. I currently have a tax “debt” that is literally more money than the business ever _collected_ over it’s entire existence.

It is nearly impossible to find a tax lawyer that is willing to take on the case, and my accountant keeps telling me that there is nothing to do except pay up and then wait for the refund. I don’t now have, or ever had in the past, the kind of money they are demanding. The anxiety that this situation has been causing for the past year and a half (they did a similar stunt for 2023) has become unbearable - I am threatened with personal bankruptcy and jail time for taxes I don’t even owe - and I often consider the easy way out.

I recently had to appear, in person, at the tax office (I reside on the other side if Europe now, but was forced to make the trip). There are no options to send a representative. You must make declarations in person, like its 1734.

Living in Germany and running a business there is turning out to be the biggest mistake of my life.

In principle, any object can become a black hole if it is made dense enough. It does not matter for the gravity at long distance: replace the earth with a black hole of the same mass, and it not change the interactions with the other bodies (sun and moon, mostly).

Light does not escape in the black hole case because the black hole is smaller: in case of a black hole earth, light starting at 6370 km (current radius) can still escape. A black hole weighing the same as the earth would have a 9 millimeter radius, no light will escape from there.
What? Electric baseboard are rightly on the out, because they cost a fortune to run.

Water based gas radiators are absolutely not cheaper to install in the us than forced air. They are uncommon and expensive. Heat pump forced air is slightly more expensive to install than heat pump forced air. The a/c part is basically “for free” these days
They're making a lot of claims and in the readme present zero measurements. The official Kafka distro is pretty bulletproof since 7+ years ago. It'd be great if they could include more information for the (apparently). initiated!

I am open to new things.. with at least a tad of supporting data attached :D Ymmv.
A regular star has a significantly lower density. The ongoing fusion causes a pressure that keeps it from collapsing. The atoms here move chaotically through a 3d space in quite a volume. So your ball sits on too large a surface of cellophane to go really deep. That can continue for increasing masses for quite a while. Google tells me the heaviest known star is about 200 solar masses.

Black holes and neutron stars are fundamentally different - there’s no space left between the matter of a neutron star. Now, the physics of that is a bit over my head, but a simplification I got from a PBS Spacetime episode is that the matter in a neutron star pretty much overlaps in 3d and stars filling up some quantum mechanics dimensions. When those cross a threshold, the last forces give way and everything collapses without a limit. So now we’re talking about a ball on your cellophane as small as physically possible for its mass (compact), pushing down significantly deeper… Until it gets replaced with pretty much a puncture, pushing it down to some abstract floor.
How's the overall software support for MI300 series? The hardware itself looks great.

(also, +100 to valuing honesty and transparency)
What if it's some other class of object that we have yet to identify? Why black hole if not neutron star?

Quantum theory predicts and limits the sorts of things you can get once you really put the squeeze on and these predictions align well with observations.

They already have too many people working on UX.

Take for example their recent addition to the desktop app called "Now playing view" which opens every time you play a song (unless you disable it), squishes your current view into a three-pane window, and displays valuable information such as the song's album cover, which is already on the screen in the lower-left corner!
Seems nice, but are there any publicly available documentation to be able to evaluate its readiness and what languages are there libraries for? I may be blind but I cannot find any.
Yeah, but it's maybe not so obvious that this is a bad solution, because allowing single downloaded songs would then also require a way to find those songs while offline. So the best UX would probably end up putting the song into a playlist called "Downloaded Songs", which would always be downloaded. Net result, a playlist that has downloaded songs, with a slightly better UI for putting songs into that playlist.
> Everybody is processing Ukranians and Arabs.

That’s nonsense. The Ukrainians go through an expedited process. Before the war we put in an application for my spouse - 3rd party national spouse of an EU citizen process - we applied pretty much the day after we arrived and a few days before we left the country to live elsewhere (2 1/2 years later) we got a letter that they are considering giving her an appointment.

The German bureaucracy sucks hard.
I attempt to use LLMs in coding tasks many times a day, the capability is there: Opus can make and execute a plan, GPT-4 can find and fix a few persistent typographical errors when Opus attempts verbatim output, and Dolphin-8x7 (or a bunch of other consistently candid models) can de-noise out the static interference from the Morality Police over-aligment.

For a long time it’s been about extravagances like the ability to recover from a lost session, or get a link queried and used as context, or do a reset of the slowly but inevitably corrupted state without losing all of your painstaking assembled point in some abstract state space.

Basic product building on the core LLM experience is way more important than incremental improvements on LLMs, I’d take robustness, consistency, and revision control over an LLM breakthrough, a chat bot session is a tech demo if I lose my work with my browser tab.

These folks get it, I agree.
> More people should roll their own crypto so they can stumble and learn and eventually get good at it.

This would only work if it were always obvious when your implementation is unsecure, which is not the case.
Dunno how I feel about even more data formats being added, but this one really does have a lot of nice features.

I like that it doesn't have tons of baked in data types, and the ability to add properties to a node almost makes it seems like a good DSL base.

For config files, I really don't want to be hand editing anything that doesn't fit in INI or TOML well. I'm a big fan of the flat is better than nested concept(It's one thing that I don't like about Nix).

For data serialization, I like JSON and YAML. Keep it simple and common and don't make people install new IDE plugins if they have to look at it.

But I could see some good use cases for this.
Most of the low-level pieces are in Rust, the TUI is written in Python and most of the remaining pieces are getting lowered down to the Rust libraries over time.

US productivity gains comes from normalized worker exploitation. It’ll only be fixed with legislation and organizing. It is a shame the people exist who take advantage, and as long as they exist, a box must be put around them with policy to protect the rest of us from them.

But so long as democracy works, that should be possible, simply due to math.
This is cool (love the demo video; straight to the point)

Do you have a sense for how exhibits can be tagged (e.g. what category they belong to). For example, if I was curious to see how others had experienced LLM hallucinations, dangerous answers, incongruent compounds of otherwise correct answers, and any of 100's of other LLM quirks, then I could perhaps click on a category and see dozens/hundreds of submitted examples? (but it's hard if they're not categorized)

One other thing, I've seen people edit the page HTML in chatGPT to trick others into thinking it said things it didn't (I think even a NYT article famously misled readers because it omitted the start of a conversation where the user told the LLM to act like a psychopath). But tl;dr is there a way you can verify submissions are genuine?

Geezer in UK slang doesn’t imply age but rather means something like “good guy” or “cool guy”. We used to call each other “geezer” when I was in university!
I accompanied several friends through the process.

My observation was that by simply changing the view on what is happening and extrapolating how to act based on that one can achieve quite a lot.

I told people the following:

1. The person dealing with you is not there to help you, they are simply executing an act of governance. Rather than wanting them to help you, try to help them close their tickt.

2. You are the type of immigrant people actually want. These popele see lots of drama, lies, heartbreak and hopelessness. If you are pleasant and well prepared they will probably like working on your case since it will not make them feel bad.

3. Things take time. Be as early as possible with everything and realize that there early is a way to speed things up.

Keeping those three things to heart worked very well. That does not make things faster, but it takes a lot of frustration out of the process.
I do not know Extism, but I would start from the process of verifying the security of it, and highlight what allows to check it quickly and with certainty. For example documentation of the sandbox and possibility to inspect all syscalls performed with verbose logging.

I'll let you know once I get my hands on them again. There really isn't enough public information about them at all. So far, my friends at ElioVP [0] have published a blog post. Still with not enough detail for my taste, but I'm pretty sure he is limited by what he can talk about. Luckily, I am not.

I mention in another comment below that my current goal is to get a bunch of people to perform testing on them and then publish blog posts along with open source code. This way, we can start a repository of CI/CD tests to see how things improve with time. ROCm 6.1 is rumored to be quite an improvement.
