Of course people think of solving this problem again by constraining the consumer, instead of the producer.

What we should do is make rules for social media platforms to disallow them to develop algorithms that make people addicted. You might think how do you define that, but the companies have already made a whole science out of it so it's not that abstract anymore. It would sure be an elaborate task and will surely result in a cat and mouse game, but at least the issue would be taken seriously and people will understand better that engaging with these platforms that try to push the edges is playing with fire.
What i meant was that the idea was that people would eventually stop using e.g. whatsapp on Beeper and just use Beeper, since eventually all their friends would also have the beeper app installed. Might sound a bit optimistic but there it is.

No, no, no, that's nonsense.

Kids are given a phone and access to social media by their parents (who are also users most likely). I don't see parents saying oh please block this out of my kid's hands with deep packet inspection or ID checks. These people can just install Family Link or whatever and set limits, and be parents. But they just won't do it. Some don't even know it exists. Kids are clocking 5h+ of mobile use / day, with poor sleep patterns and digital hygiene. No limits. That's the real issue.

I've gone to uppercase. SQL is a noisy language, with lots of keywords cluttering up your code. I write the keywords in uppercase, and the table and column names in camel case. It seems to make the usefull stuff easyer to find, and the camel case gives a bit of extra info where it matters.
You’re right, this is a great suggestion! You should totally do it!
> If you choose Nix, for example, you'll need to spend at least several weeks of time (guessing on experience of others).

If you have no prior Nix experience, probably. Home Manager isn't really hard to work with, but its docs do assume basic Nixlang and Nix module system knowledge. If you try to cargo cult your way directly into a working flake with HM, you'll probably get a little lost.

But you also don't have to jump in all at once. I used a separate dotfile manager in conjunction with Nix for years, and it worked great. (I only bothered to switch to HM because the tool I was using became unmaintained! I was perfectly happy with it.) You can definitely ease into managing your dotfiles with Nix so it doesn't impose any downtime on you.

Using rcm for dotfiles plus Nix for the packages you regularly install is a pretty good idea imo. Then you can transition to using HM for dotfiles management later (or never!).

As “humble” as NVIDIA’s CEO appears to be, NVIDIA the company (he’s been running this whole time), made decision after decision with the simple intention of killing off its competition (ATI/AMD). Gameworks is my favorite example- essentially if you wanted a video game to look as good as possible, you needed an NVIDIA GPU. Those same games played on AMD GPUs just didn’t look as good.

Now that video gaming is secondary (tertiary?) to Nvidia’s revenue stream, they could give a shit which brand gamers prefer. It’s small time now. All that matters is who companies are buying their GPUs from for AI stuff. Break down that CUDA wall and it’s open-season. I wonder how they plan to stave that off. It’s only a matter of time before people get tired of writing C++ code to interface with CUDA.
I love Zed and it’s been my daily driver for the last 2 months or so.

All but a tiny population of pre-existing Jews in historic Palestine are settler colonialists living in territory violently ethnically cleansed of the indigenous Palestinian population to make way for Jewish settlers.

This isn't just false, it's luridly, categorically false. A plurality of Jewish Israeli citizens are of MENA origin --- from Morocco, Yemen, Iraq, Ethiopia, and other countries in the region. They're the "Mizrahim", they're a huge chunk of the population, Israel is literally their only homeland, and they tend to be more right-wing than the "settler-colonialist" Ashkenazim, who tend towards the left.

Imagine a new crop of QA automation tooling that's going to leverage these capabilities!

• Semantic change comparison between screenshots. Visual regression testing, where you prompt the model to ignore certain things instead of masking and where it labels the changes with a message, like "chart color changed" or "text shifted down by 3 pixels".

• Using plain English as test scenarios, instead of brittle WebDriver-like APIs.

• Autonomous agent fuzzing the application by free roaming the UI.

• RAG the design artifacts from Jira and Google Docs for more targeted feature exploration and test scenario generation.

• Automatic bug reports as the output of the above. Or even send a draft PR to fix an issue, while at it!

The more I think about use cases, the more it sounds like full software development automation. Late in game, we won't probably need software as it exists today at all. This feels like reading Accelerando again, but this time it's happening for real and to you.

I agree with you, but it goes beyond just smartphones.

TV shows were linear, so unless you had an interest in every single show being aired, your viewing was naturally limited to specific times.

Video games didn’t use to have online capabilities, nor did they provide endless matchmaking with completely strangers across the world, so if you wanted to play with other people, you had to do it in person. And games didn’t have endless streams of new content being released.

What changed is that everything became built around endless streams of content. Smartphones are a key enabler of that, but even legacy media like TV and video games have evolved to become bottomless content pits. Social media feeds never end, video games always have another match, there are always more shows and movies to binge on demand.

Put aside for a moment that this is a classic tactic to ban something. Tear through a bunch of them looking for any imperfections whatsoever, ignoring any equivalent imperfections in the status quo, then exaggerate the issue and propose prohibition as the solution.

Even if the problem is real, why is the solution prohibition? Put liability on the manufacturer for regulatory non-compliance, the same as we do for cars or appliances or any other prefabricated product.

This is literally the timeline: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459
Mass transit is horribly expensive, not just to build, but to operate too. Because of this, it requires high density to really work. You can't just slap some light rail lines into a giant suburban US city and expect it to work out somehow. Even here in Tokyo, with hundreds of train/subway stations all over the metro area, you frequently have to do a significant amount of walking (or even cycling) in between the nearest station and your actual destination. And don't forget all the stairs: subway stations are frequently quite deep, and have long staircases to get in and out. (There's many escalators and elevators, but they're not always that conveniently located.) It's a completely different culture that most Americans will not desire nor put up with. Mass transit isn't some kind of utopian panacea where a nice train will take you right to your employer or shopping destination or home.

It all works here because the city was built densely to begin with, and because they made the smart decision back in the 60s, when it looked like car culture was going to take over, of revamping the zoning laws and permitting the construction of housing just about anywhere, which made it more profitable to build housing and other buildings than parking lots, which made it extremely inconvenient to use a car.

Sorry for the tangential question, but do people working in frontend feel that knowledge of the web fundamentals is not present in newer developers? Like the fundamentals of HTML, HTTP, CSS and vanilla JS?

I am no longer very exposed to the frontend landscape but I am curious if those who gained intimate knowledge of those technologies back when it was all that was present might have a niche lucrative role in the future of web tech. I know they are quick to learn, but the idiosyncrasies were always an arcane art.

Interesting ideas but it didn’t mention priming, which is a prompt-engineering way to improve consistency in answers.

Basically, in the context window, you provide your model with 5 or more example inputs and outputs. If you’re running in chat mode, that’s be the preceding 5 user and assistant message pairs, which establish a pattern of how to answer to different types of information. Then you give the current prompt as a user, and the assistance will follow the rhythm and style of previous answers in the context window.

It works so well I was able to take out answer reformatting logic out of some of my programs that query llama2 7b. And it’s a lot cheaper than fine-tuning, which may be overkill for simple applications.

No, Switzerland is at most a semi-direct democracy. We don't vote on every last decision the government takes, after all - we have a bicameral parliament and an executive branch for those!

Just going by appearances, the story at the time looked a lot like Jack Ma fleeing the country for a bit. One minute he was disturbing the tranquillity in China then the next he was picking up some Zen among the cherry blossoms.

It is interesting to compare-and-contrast Jack Ma and Elon Musk who seems to me the nearest analogue in the US. How their host countries treat them says a lot about the real cultural differences between Washington and Beijing. For all America's problems - at least up to Trump level annoying the politicians - it is safe to build wealth in the US.

My personal speculation is that their closed models are based on other companies' models.

For example on EQbench[0], Miqu[1], a leaked continued pretrain based on LLama2, performs extremely similar to the mistral medium model their API offers.

Maybe they're thinking it'd be bad PR for them to release models they didn't create from scratch, or there is some contractual obligation preventing the release.

No, there's not. There's any number of ways to deal with a hazard. Your two avenues are not even distinct. Both require exerting control. Any scheme can be manipulated by bad actors. Scheming to not scheme is still scheming.

You cannot make people anything without limiting their freedom. How do you make people stronger? If you have an idea, there is a centralised point of control/failure. Bad actors will be more strong and free as well.

There's plenty of examples of successful measures to reduce harm by controlling the "environment" see: cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, being old enough to drive on public roads, being old enough to take on debt, child labour, etc.

It's weird to use the words "environment" and "hazard" on one hand and "people" on the other. The discussion is about hazards designed, created and maintained by people. The environment to manipulate is people, organisations, and law.
"embedded" is such a strange word to use.

1) install hy via pip

2) run the hy command, which exposes python3 calls, functions, "libc" and has a LISP syntax.

btw you won't believe it, but it's "embedded" all the way down:

run Hy Embedded in Python which is Embedded in C. which is Embedded in Assembler which is Embedded in an ALU microcode stack which is Embedded in gates Which are embedded in quantum effects.

"Implemented" feels better. Implemented in Python3 and exposing the Python3 import libraries and native systemcall methods.

Is the REPL coded in Hy or in Python? Can I e.g. break from Hy inside the exec('Hy') and be at the Python3 REPL? If thats the case I can probably come at "embedded"
