I built something like this in Haskell! I never benchmarked it, but I actually found it quite compelling. I would define each agent as a different "expert" in a subdomain of mathematics for example: proof theorist, abstract algebraic expert, etc.

I found it helpful, but the signal to noise ratio was high, lots of agents restating points etc.
That’s a good point! Actually I’ve been using these in the asymmetric search setting, and the queries are very short phrases (not full questions like you might see in a RAG application).

My first total eclipse: What I am looking forward to
As an Australian, and as someone who is relatively switched on and pays attention to things in general, I do not know what I can and cannot recycle -- it has changed a few times in the past few years, and of course whenever I move to a new council area I have to contend with new rules.

What can you recycle? Who knows. Bottles, usually, but only if they're clear, green, or brown glass. And not if they're broken. Definitely no glass from mirrors. Also, probably not the bottle lids, or the the triggers from spray bottles. Aerosol cans? Sure. But not their caps. Aluminium foil, yes, but only if it's not got food contamination on it, so no. Same with aluminium baking tins and tin cans (actually steel!) from canned food. Can I recycle my pizza boxes in this council? Currently, yes, but only if they're not too greasy. What's too greasy? Still who knows. Coffee cups are recyclable in some councils, but not all, by the way. The lids are recyclable in basically all of them. As an aside, there are issues with recycling soft plastics, even if the plastic is actually recyclable, so be careful to make sure that even if it has the right symbol on it, it's not too bendy.

All of that, and ... well, it doesn't matter what I do, because my neighbour just yeets literally everything that smells like plastic or paper into their recycling bin, so my careful work is just commingled with garbage anyway.

This feels like an over-wrought analogy for a lot of things in my life, really.
Let's please reframe how bad it is to treat another person as an NPC. It is dehumanizing. It encourages losing focus on why people behave the way they do, rather than learning to hold empathy for the reality of life for the millions of people that surround us. Life isn't easy for many. Many don't have the opportunities to learn or are at least encouraged to do that.
my job has me managing multiple contractors/vendors at a time. you employ checks and balances, contractual obligations, smart project plans and requirements, and regular oversight.

>> There was an attempt to bomb an airport to create chaos.

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/bolsonaros-call-arms-...

>>> There was an invasion to the congress and to the SJ building by people asking for a military coup.

> Vandalism is not the same as a coup attempt.

Even the jailed people in the coup attempt confessed that their intent there was trying to prevent the elected president to govern, several of them were very vocal supporting a military dictatorship.

>>> There are confessions from military generals that Bolsonaro approached them to back his coup attempt.

> Lie. He approached them about declaring emergency state. This is a constitutional measure. Dilma did the same thing, by the way.

You are the one lying. Some people involved, like Tenent Mauro Cid and the army commander Marco Antônio Freire Gomes, delated Bolsonaro and confirmed the coup attempt.
unless you’re stating crypto primitives should only be written in assembly

Yes, that's exactly what I'm stating.

Have a look at openssl, boringssl, nspr, etc. They all implement the core modular arithmetic for RSA and the s-box table for AES using assembly language. There is no reliable way to prevent a C compiler from "optimizing" your constant-time code into non-constant-time code.

another rust TLS implementation

rustls uses assembler (from boringssl) for these routines. It is not 100% rust, and that's a good thing.

i launched an online allergy clinic with my cousin, a respected doctor.

Me and the team talk to every single person who works with us. Every day, customers tell us we're giving them their lives back because they can finally breathe.

I filmed my cousin, our doctor, as he gave me an impromptou allergy specialist visit. Now those videos get millions of views per month from people all around the world.

Much more fulfilling than any other job.

I guess there's two (non-contradictory) conversations going on at once
here. My emphasis is more on what we can do, or not do, as
participants in a technological society that chooses what technology
to make.

There is also the conversation on what to do about moustache-twisting,
cat stroking, comedy Bond villains with tanks of laser-sharks.

I don't think they are fooling any of us. They swagger around in plain
sight, naked in their madness, and we could literally write a list of
their names here on HN.

Of course these strategic and psychiatric questions are related.

This article has been around for some time, and it still shines. It focuses on building a product rather than just prototyping an LLM wrapper and waiting for the dark magic of GenAI.

Chapters like "The Strive for Faster Latencies" and "Post-Processing" are truly inspiring.

Creating production-level DevTools demands much more effort than merely wrapping around a ChatCompletion endpoint and mindlessly stuffing a context window with everything accessible inside the IDE (so-called "prompt engineering").
There are a couple of aspects that can make lockfiles deceptive to look at

- Lockfiles include dependencies for all platforms, not just the ones you build with, including wasm and Hermit kernel

- Due to some quirks, lockfiles include more dependencies than will ever be used (related to a feature called "weak dependency features").

For a more accurate picture, look at `cargo tree` and `cargo tree --target=all`.

In this case, a lot of it is that the GitQL SDK depends on gix (gitoxide), a Rust re-implementation of git / libgit, which is made up of a lot of crates and depends on a lot of crates. This dependency should likely not be there and should be fixed. Even with `default-features = false`, gix pulls in a lot. Gix should not be relevant to a more generic SDK.

The other thing that stood out to me as unnecessary is that comfy-tables pulls in cross-term which has way too large of a dependency for what it is doing.

I am surprised at how much `chrono` pulls in but almost all of that is for specific platforms and `chrono` shrinks dramatically when looking only at the native platform.

I do see some stray dependencies that have built-in equivalents (lazy_static -> OnceCell, atty -> IsTerminal). Some of that is due to compatibility with old Rust versions. There were only a couple of these.
If we presuppose that platforms should be able to scale past their ability to not cause harm or even comply with the law, this defense makes sense. It’s not feasible for a company with a billion users to avoid harming people. This is the philosophy we’ve been living under for at least the last 20 years.

If we instead say that people are more important than a corporation’s right to scale, then a single large-scale violation would have been the end of Facebook and have criminal consequences for the leadership of the company. The scale of the act should make you more culpable, not less.

Me either. It's a couple hundred lines of code to make a very comprehensive fixture using the real postgres, and it supports all extensions, including exotic ones you make yourself.
Thinking about how this may apply to AI, this research seems to be saying that the distribution of neurons is not a normal distribution, but more akin to the population of a country, where there are dense clusters of neurons amid a mostly sparse network, the same way populations heavily cluster in urban areas.

We don’t yet know the reason for that structure, but it appears across species and across different regions of the brain

It could be that a similarly modeled neuronal network would exhibit more pockets of specialized activity in response to certain inputs, and potentially even redundancies in specialization allowing it to process the inputs in slightly different ways to reach ensemble/consensus style outcomes. In some ways it sounds reminiscent of the mixture of experts approach

It’s certainly interesting!

TTL is a general term standing for "time to live". In the context of an IP packet it's a number of hops. In the context of a cache, it's a time until expiration.
There seems to be a growing frustration about asylum seekers who moved to Germany and did not adopt German values, a theme you will find in every country.

It's scary because the party that complains the most about it is gaining traction, and it convinces centrist parties to change their stance on immigration. It's not a pearl-clutching minority anymore, but a politically advantageous position.

As an immigrant, I feel like we're about to live a variation of the Niemöller poem. "First they came for the asylum seekers..."

>I’m not suggesting it’s the same as an air gap. I’m suggesting that the solution sufficiently meets their requirements to do away with the need for a bona fide air gap. In fact, that’s what is implied by the quoted statement in the article.

>You can rant on about how they should treat their data as as if they’re nuclear launch codes, but they’ve made a deliberate decision to implement a solution that is secure enough for their needs.

Indeed, I disagree with The Guardian's assessment that virtualization is sufficient to protect their information. It's ultimately none of my business (literally so), though that won't stop me from being appalled at their callousness and I for one certainly won't provide them any information if I'm ever in such a position.

More generally in regards to this thread, I am horrified that so many people genuinely think virtualization can be a replacement for air gapping. Especially in the wake of vulnerabilities like Specter/Meltdown and Rowhammer, among many others.

>the fact that you don’t understand the immense burden

I absolutely understand how much work is required to create and maintain an air gapped environment, and the sheer inconvenience and borderline impracticality using them imposes.

I'm saying that handling sensitive information of this kind warrants all that and cannot be replaced by something easier, though I can sympathize with desires to do so because noone likes hard work.
I firmly believe that there is no reason to take away a baby from its parents. You can jail the parents if they're convicted of a crime. But without doing that, you can't just separate the child from them.
Interesting - it also suggests a "think step by step" approach where you tell the model to itself repeat (echo) the instructions before each step.
Anarchy in the US, Part 2
I have a child diagnosed with ASD level 2 (in Australia), he was born premature by a few weeks and immediately put on a course of antibiotics. I am curious about the connection here but am a total layman with the science.
8 months is not that long; these days the wait is longer. However, you are aware of how long the wait will be, there information is right there on the Australian Immigration website:
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-pr...

Providing updates to everyone waiting simply wastes time and resources; again, you know roughly how long it's going to take as the estimated times are provided. Hassling the agent on your case is unnecessary.

Regarding leaving and returning Australia - Bridging Visa class Bs are made available if you have good reasons to be leaving and coming back.

I can see this from two sides - my (now ex) wife went through getting temporary then permanent residency in Australia; yes, it was a pain and expensive, but Australia has high standards of living etc, which is why lots of people want to come here. The other side is this - immigration is one of the reasons why there are not enough houses to buy or places to rent, making life difficult for citizens or people who have PR or TR. So if the process of having more immigrants who also require housing is expensive or difficult, I think you'll find a lot of people are not particular sympathetic.

This post for me is an instance of that weird effect when once you start looking into something you see it everywhere..
You could create your own bin directory in your user directory (~/bin) and add it to your PATH.

Then you can create symlinks in ~/bin to whatever executables you want using whatever names you prefer.

If you have programs that need to run from a given location, you could create little launcher scripts that cd to the location and run the executable.

The PATH environment variable has worked the way it does since the 1970s and everything expects it to work that way. Since it is all text, it should not be too difficult to find or build tools to manage it or other environment variables.

Knowledge/training.

If you're shipping a brand new hardware arch, exposed as raw hardware, then you're on the hook for training everyone in the world and fixing all their weird edge case uses.

I.e. are you willing to invest in Intel/AMD/Nvidia-scale QA and support?

If you're exposing a PaaS (or even IaaS), then you have some levers you can tweak / mask behind the scenes, so only your team need be experts at low-level operations.

For a fast-paced company, the latter model makes a lot more sense, at least until hardware+software stabilizes.
Yes, that's how 'reputation laundering' works: just acquire all clinics and fool people with the tag "Stanford".
Two weeks would be quick for anything in Germany. 4 weeks seems like the standard for processes that run smoothly.
The antibiotic link is really alarming. Growing up in a country where antibiotics are basically prescribed for any illness, my mom refused to administer it to us unless there was an emergency. Clearly she had some foresight.

I find it a tough choice for my own kids. For example, if they have an ear infection, you could try waiting it out, and sometimes they can get better on their own, but it's riskier and might be longer and cause more discomfort. Or you can give the antibiotic, but then you get the unknown side effects.

Me and two of my siblings have had marriages to facilitate work visas, permanent residence and access to health care during a pregnancy. (Also because we liked the other person, but like, we would have kept liking them regardless of whether we got married.)

Most pregnancies take a while, two weeks is plenty of time. Don't even get me started on how long immigration bureaucracy takes -- two weeks is a drop in the bucket.
Bomb somebody else's harbor next time, kthxbai
The more I come across articles like this (yes: I know it’s talking about early life) the more I start to wonder if the problems I’ve struggled with in the past and to a somewhat lesser extent now (anxiety, with quite severe physical symptoms) are caused by/can at least be alleviated by a change in gut flora. I have this weird feeling (based on some recurring experience) that anxiety and digestion are somehow deeply connected.

Has anyone here tried making a change to their ‘microbiome’ and noticed it had any obvious effect?
You see, these contractors tend to hire retired admirals and generals directly out of acquisitions positions and onto their boards. The contracts are written in ways that make it hard to punish shoddy work in a way that doesn't make the government side look bad too, so they tend to let slide what is kept out of sight. After all, if someone makes enough noise, then your contract may end up on the news or even worse, on the hill. If that happens, contracts get yanked, people get reassigned or lose their chance at a kushy spot on a board in a few years. It varies by contract and organizations, some are much better run than others and tend to deliver good quality.

> If insurance can accurately predict losses that will occur and price accordingly, you are paying exactly the same amount plus overhead, on a similar schedule for insurance as directly paying for losses yourself without insurance.

The hypothetical that I'm working with is that the insurer can perfectly price insurance by perfectly estimating the _risk_ or _expected loss_ for each individual customer. They can then pool this risk, take a profit, and everyone wins.

This is what I assumed you meant by "perfectly priced insurance". But I've realized you're talking about the case where insurer has perfect knowledge of the future losses each individual will take. I agree in this case insurance will not make sense. Insurance would be free for most individuals and impossibly expensive for those doomed to catastrophe. (The latter group would be screwed, even if they shared perfect knowledge of the future with the insurer.)
It's not that people are not recognizing the good things about it. There's this underlying theory that we had one chance at a digital game library. The PS3 and Xbox 360 were way too early for people to get attached to their digital purchases; after all, few large titles released digitally day and date with their disc versions. So people bought a few indie titles digitally, but they still had a big disc library.

But the PS4 generation was the digital generation. The majority of sales were digital then (probably not dollars-wise, but certainly units-wise). So the theory goes that people have this large lock-in with PS4, which leads to them directly going to the PS5 without looking at the distinguished competition's offerings.

I'm not sure I agree.
State actors is just a term usually refer to threats from dedicated abd resourceful entities that have don't have to worry about funding, tracked by their government..etc. They usually are in the market for 0days and have dedicated resources to throw at their targets. So you can basically say the same about any tool. If I know that I am being targeted by a state actor while living in the US, the only thing that can help is me going to FBI. This assume of course that state actor is the US itself and assume that you know your are being targeted.

On individual level, if you have being targeted or use a tool with 0day then you lost before you even know that there was a game.
> There was no "coup". There was a protest. Identical to many others in the past, down to the "people all over the buildings" imagery. It was not the first time people have occupied the Brasília buildings and it certainly won't be the last. Just like this one for example:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_protests_in_Brazil

The other protests that you reference were not performed with the intent of preventing the elected president to assume and govern. A "protest" with violence where the objective is preventing the elected president to assume or govern and that tries to encourage the army to depose the president is literally a coup attempt.

Moreover Brazilian law allows content to be removed online for reasons of investigation, hate speech or unbased defamation.

> GitHub Actions is a CI system that makes it easy to get started

It's not even that! Coming from GitLab I was quite surprised at how poor the "getting started" experience was. Rather than a simple "on push, run command X" you first have to do a deep dive into actions/events/workflows/jobs/runs, and then figure out what kind of weird tooling is used for trivial things like checking out your code, or storing artifacts.

And then you try to unify your pipeline across several projects because that's what Github is heavily promoting with the whole "uses: actions/checkout" reuse thing - but it turns out to be a huge hassle to get it working because nothing works the way you'd expect it to work.

In the end I did get GHA to do what I was already doing in GitLAb, but it took me ten times as long as it did originally setting it up. I believe GHA is flexible and powerful enough to be well-suited for medium-sized companies, but it's neither easy enough for small companies, nor powerful enough for large companies. It's one of the few Github features I genuinely dislike using.
