The root problem here is how references and mutability combine to cause spooky action at a distance, and the non-obviousness of how they combine.

The higher-level a programming language is, the more likely it is to hide the use of references, and also the more likely it is to hide when a new object is created, which would break shared mutable state.

In C or Go any reference is taken explicitly and objects are also created explicitly, so it's very easy to see at a glance what can be mutated from outside the immediate scope or when a defensive copy is made.

Java and C# use lots of implicit references but still require keyword new for nearly all object instantiations. It's easy to look at the expression Collections.nCopies(4, new ArrayList<>()) and understand that the same list will be referenced 4 times.

At the highest extreme you have languages like Haskell where immutability makes details about when objects are copied or referenced irrelevant. Surprising behaviour is outright impossible now.

Python appears to be in a tarpit where object instantiation and referencing is obscured just enough that it can take you by surprise when it silently results in shared mutable state.
Which capitalist theorists say that competition isn’t crucial for the success of capitalism?

It’s entirely integral to the proper functioning of the system. What you’re describing is that not being followed, which is exactly the point I’m making.
My point is that "opposite to what happened" has no immediate connection to what he believes.

I find normal that he tried to negotiate a better deal and that his negotiating position was worse because he was the defaulting party.

He can still (or not) honestly believe the responsibility should be more/fully with the lender. I do agree up to some point that the richer entity should bear more responsibility, but I have a feeling his discourse is often very political (trying to mobilize and get people excited) rather than propose some realistic attainable policies.

Once I reach the bottom of the page I can keep rotating of course and the page doesn't scroll further than the bottom. But if I rotate say 100px past the bottom of the screen I need to rotate backwards 100px before the screen moves up again. Basically there's a counter somewhere that needs to freeze once I hit the bottom of the page.

Step 1. Build an algorithm/AI to do what we want it to.

Step 2. It sometimes doesn't do what we wanted it to do.

Physically a lot smaller than DEC's first SSI Ethernet card(-set): https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/NEYAAOSw-mZlg0lZ/s-l1600.jpg (DEC DEUNA, those boards are over a foot long), though also a lot fewer features. DEUNA is a "real" NIC, it has tx/rx queues and handles all that autonomously. Does DMA, too. It of course comes with it's own on-card PDP-11 to run it.

From what I heard through the grapevine, OLMo is not nearly the best model for its size or compute budget. Apparently something didn’t quite go right and AI2 didn’t have the money to train until they got it right.
This is like the difference between communist theory and communism as it was actually practiced in the late USSR. The former had many good intentions but no real mechanism to ensure that it wouldn’t rapidly devolve into the latter. With capitalism we even have enough economic theory to understand why businesses are incentivized to move away from the ideal competitive environment, and to undermine the political mechanisms (like anti-trust) that should keep them there.

> They ("techno lords") can nudge our feeds however they want and manipulate. We wouldn’t know.

But there's a detail here that its hard to answer, or at least for some platforms. Given the complexity of some of these algorithms, do the techno lords have that sort of control of deliberate control, or it's just the uncontrolled optimization for a given outcome?

I'm not saying that reality is better, it might be even worse to know that no one is at the wheel.

> Technofeudalism has smashed the veil between refuge from markets (usually when you got home, you were home, but now you are on your phone); and one such market is the market of “self-discovery”. You need an identity online today, or you basically don’t exist. But what happens then is: you have to think before you post about “who could read this?” What does that entail?

I think that's a tremendous insight to be put forward, especially because we know this and yet the vast majority of people still act it out. Some time ago I saw an interview with Slavoj Zizek where he went deep into this phenomenon with the example of Santa Claus: Parents know it is a lie, yet they act it out to their children who at some point know it's a lie but still act it out not to disappoint their parents and keep that illusion, and this goes on for generations.

This is the exact same thing as this culture of self-discovery/acceptance, everyone preaches it, but end up boiling everything down to their best moments and highlights. It's a collective lie that everyone plays with, and I don't know if there's a clear purpose to it other than to sustain itself.
I commented this somewhere else, but word in the ether is that OLMo is not actually that good of a model given its size and compute budget. I am not entirely sure why, and it’s still good to have the full recipe for at least one model out in the open, but the current OLMo definitely is a cautionary tale for people training their own model.

Agreed. With a 3-3 you are trading away influence in favour of hard territory. AI is happy to do that very early because AI can effectively destroy influence. Human players need to learn to enter 3-3 at "the last possible moment". That requires judgement.
I think this is more applicable to a specific subculture (the mainstream) that it is to everyone. For me who relies mostly on older style forums and image boards, there is no algorithm and identity is reviled. And you'd be surprised at the influence of these boards even today, not just in the english internet but internationally.

Those areas have their own cons, and the mainstream has chosen accessibility over sincerity. But looking at the damage down today, I can't say if that was the right choice to make for them.
Why not? Does everything really need to be built in a cross platform way? I feel like that’s how we got into this mess.
Anytime I see a prompt from one of these companies, I assume it matches the style of instructions the model encountered during pre-training.

And the kinds of instruction formats that were encountered during pre-training end up informing what style of instruction the model is best at following.

An extreme example would be prompt templates that a "raw" instruct-tuned LLM follows: the model will technically work with a suboptimal format, but you get much better performance if you follow the prompt template the model was trained/fine-tuned on.

-

It's not a guarantee a given prompting style was involved during pre-training of course, but at the very least it's going to a provide a jumping off point that the creators of the model co-signed on.

That's because Musk doesn't understand what he bought and lacks the finesse to manage it productively.

And that's a good thing, because if someone as toxic and unhinged as Musk understood how SM really works, it would be a global disaster.

We've already seen what happens with that in the MSM space. So far, SM has only had fragmentary versions of that kind of propaganda monolith - Cambridge Analytica, bot farms, and so on.

Those are all bad enough. But a global platform that existed purely for propaganda and disinformation while pretending not to would be horrific.
I'm happy that you spent a wonderful day outdoors!

Do you think that makes your statement "Currying is a subset of partial application" (and doubling down on that) any more true?

After all, you can implement subtraction with just the help of addition and multiplication:

add :: Int -> Int -> Int
add a b = a + b

mult :: Int -> Int -> Int
mult a b = a * b

sub :: Int -> Int -> Int
sub a b = add a (mult (-1) b)

So, does that make "subtraction is a subset of addition" a true statement?

We did actually run into D1 issues during the outage, though I don't remember exact details on what was down. Our issues may have been API related with reads still functional.

My concerns, and this is very much my own concerns with no context of what has or is happening internally st Cloudflare, is that the outage exposed some serious issues that will take time to fix safely. The fact that D1 still doesn't support replication is an indication to me that it has been deprioritized, likely with other newer and less used products, while the infrastructure updates are dealt with.

Just because developers aren’t coming up with the business models doesn’t mean they bear no responsibility. You can’t go to work every day for a company that makes bad things, as someone making bad things at that company, and claim no responsibility for their existence in the world. This is especially true when employee mobility is so high in software. Surely if developers had a mature sense of professional ethics and strong personal values they would be sure they worked at a company that they felt aligned with them, or admit that they have compromised their values for a larger paycheck.

The devil is in the details, and nuanced. A broadly capitalistic structure in the right place and time for the right society and with the right regulation, can be good.

A state stricken with, say, ethnic factionalism that, while holding fair elections, oppresses their minorities, has a problem. Is it a problem with the majority race? Is it a problem with the presence and lack of ethnic minorities in this particular state? Is it a problem with democracy in general that it is perhaps not suitable for some states?

Here the author makes the point that broadly speaking, the details of how capitalism used to be organized did not have these feudalistic aspects that aren't good, but they do now.

> Boeing, General Mills, or ford wouldn't want you to be a dev if they could figure out how to do it?

You do in fact agree with the author. He calls this subspecies cloud capitalism. In another time or place, cloud capitalism would be materially impossible, and capitalism of another flavor might still be appropriate.

You disagree with the author in that they are silent on other types of capitalism, but you are considering this to be a flaw with capitalism at large, from what I can tell.

That's like telling someone it was wrong of them to not do CPR after they've found a rotting corpse without a head. Switzerland has so little impact on the global climate, it's laughable and nothing Switzerland could do would change anything whatsoever.

Is there even a technology available that could show the impact on climate change were Switzerland's CO2 magically zero tomorrow?
And then the solution would be …increasing competition and anti trust legislation. No?

I’m fairly certain that most people using the term late capitalism aren’t advocating for more competition, they’re advocating for more state control.

But it doesn't do that. You haven't shown that this approach is able to deal with loops and loops are pretty fundamental to every C program.

Heck, you haven't technically shown that this approach can deal with binary operators. I would love to turn Xr0 into an improptu SAT solver, but without `&&` and `||` that sadly isn't possible right now.

I'll probably be downloaded or flagged just for saying this but they never will care. Men are considered expendable in our society.

1) Small drones can be detected. I'm not gonna go into the specifics, but Orlan sized drones with 3m wingspan can be detected from hundreds of km. Smaller sized commercial drones, which are 1/10th of that size, can also be detected pretty well.

2) No mater how small these drones are, they are dependent on some nav and coms system. Even autonomous "fire-and-forget" drones need a somewhat robust GPS link for navigation. For operated drones, any telemetry can and will be linked to.

But, ok, let's assume some futuristic drone that has a powerful AI system to do all its navigation via onboard sensors, which do not transmit or receive any information. How could such a drone get past a radar system? By either being too small for the radar to detect, fly too low for the radar to detect, or have some geometry that voids detection. Or the radar gets jammed, while the drone tries to get past it.

3) Drones have features which can be detected by radar. Motors, for example, would be one of those.

4) Radars are rarely the only sensors used. You have a whole array of different sensors which can be used to pickup stuff. Even with the radars themselves, you could have one radar for detection / target acquisition, and another radar for precise imaging.

There's no free lunch, though. A very small drone would mean limited range and payload, which in turn means you'll either have to deploy it close to the enemy, or via some larger craft.

Flying a drone too close to ground ads tons of interference to the drone, not to mention detection by things like acoustic sensors, humans, cameras, and what not.

But that also goes for the radars. Small targets can easily disappear in clutter, or dip under the elevation of the radar.

Problem is, making a board design using an existing GPU chip and sticking more RAM into it is (relatively) simple but of course none of the GPU chip makers would allow partners to do that. Making your own GPU chip that’s competitive with Nvidia or AMD’s current offerings is a massive undertaking and pretty much impossible for a newcomer.

Just look at how much trouble Intel has had breaking into the discrete GPU market or even just how hard it’s been for AMD to compete with Nvidia even with decades of experience in the market.

And if some newcomer could make a competitive GPU with large memory capacity they’d be crazy not to sell it at datacenter prices, maybe just undercutting the others but a few grand but still way more expensive than any consumer GPU you can buy today, even a 4090.
