Inheritance was a premature optimization for computers with small memory. It did its job. However, once memory got big, people forgot to throw it out.

Composition uses a lot more indirection. That's bad on modern CPUs. Pointer chasing throws out performance, so composition is not always preferred, either.

I'm sad there's no easily-available public resource that would at least destructively scan those for you.
I don’t understand why people keep bringing this up when it has no functional relevance to how secure it is
Yeah Vietnam has a GDP of $408.8 Billion, a fraud of this magnitude is probably tantamount to treason.
This is a sane argument. I have no objection to it. Both things are true, in a sense.

It really depends on how you view the browser, IE should browsers be more adaptive to certain paradigms or should it set a reasonable paradigm and enforce it? I don’t know that there is a 100% right answer in this case, though they have moved to create better hooks for some forms of isolation (e.g. layers, scoping) but they fundamentally haven’t walked away from the cascade aspect.

It’s converging the two paradigms, for sure, but as I said, I don’t think either is wholly incorrect or correct.

Now if you wanted my opinion on the whole thing, I think the cascade is a fundamental element to be leveraged not avoided, but that’s me.
I'd be pretty rich if I got $0.01 every time I was asked that.

Also, it gives you the heuristics to decide if a code base is crazy and not redeemable.

I don't think I ever saw a rat on my dozen plus trips to NYC, but since moving here several years ago I have seen more than I can count. Many of those were in 2020 when I would see large groups (5-10) roaming around at night in search of dwindling food sources.
Yes, there are more tools for isolation now, but you can’t wholly opt out of the cascade, even if it’s only local relevant, and I think that’s a good thing IMO
alt + slash, with any luck
it was a half sentence, for that I apologize. and I don't remember entirely what I meant.

However, I do see a lot of one-sentence "truthms" being thrown around. like "garbage in; garbage out" and the likest.

these are not correct. we can just look at the current state of the art with LLMs that has vast amounts of garbage going in - it seems like the value is in the vastness of the data over the quality.

> On the one hand, a tool is as good or bad as the person wielding it.

I see this as being a dogme. smart people make good LLMs dumb people do not. but this is an open question. it seems like the biggest wallet will be the winner of the LLM game.

please correct me if I misunderstood something.
These are the luxury villas of the super-rich Romans, in the best-resort-close-to-Rome where they'd live while they didn't need to be in Rome for political reasons. They definitely could afford the "A team".
If someone picks up a hammer and struggles to pound screws in with them, it’s not the hammer that’s defective.

I don’t think CSS is the perfect tool for all browser-based styling but it’s the tool that’s there and it’ll probably work a lot better if you use it the way it’s intended to be used. If you want a screwdriver instead of a hammer… you have options (don’t target a browser, propose an alternative to CSS, use something that compiles down to CSS).
Yeah the issue with "Netanyahu is the problem" is that most of the Knesset is full of even worse folks. And the Israelis who elect them.

The country is drunk with US money and arms and hasn't had to really consider rational approaches to anything since big daddy US always funds them regardless of their actions.
> Corruption purges in Leninist states are always political.

This is true to a certain extent.

But this is actually truer here in democracy country than authoritarian country.

Think about it. In authoritarian country, corruption is part of the system that has internal regulation.

While here in democratic country, corruption has no explicit definition. It's just a matter of if your enemy sees corruption attackable. That makes punishing corruption in democratic country entirely political driven.

This phenomenone happens on industry: like Boeing, it has doged punishment until political resentment is no longer containable. It happens to high power, as epstain's case; and government officials Trump and Biden's family for example.
It wasn't commented out a few hours ago when I checked it. I think that's a recent change.
> Where I think inheritance works best is when the state in base classes is limited and the interface is quiet clear. Ideally where you are meant to override is also well defined.

What benefit is inheritance providing here? What you described sounds mostly like a struct, at which point the only value the interface provides is possibly some computed fields.
The question would be how they ended up in Siberia. :)
It raises an important point: Almost every square inch of Earth's real estate has belonged to more than one entity historically. Near current borders we might expect more recent changes of ownership (those borders being created more recently).

Lots of groups try to use these historical claims - some going back thousands of years - to assert ownership of various lands. On that basis, there is no end to it; nobody owns or has sovereignty over any land.

I will also observe that the most prosperous and peaceful have fewer borders: Europe is reducing theirs; the US-Canada border is porous (yes, the EU's and US's southern borders obviously complicate this theory). Russia could have had such borders with Europe; instead they chose power and death over prosperity and peace.
Aren't we forced to pay taxes or obey a laws of governments that we don't even voted for?
What has it got to do with deduplication? I'm talking about crafting some kind of alternative (not necessarily duplicate) data. I agree some kind of post data collection cleaning/filtering of the data before training could potentially catch it. But maybe not!

> I see what you’re saying, but I don’t buy that reproducible builds actually solve anything,

You're right. They don't solve anything, if you restrict "anything" to mean stops exploits entering the system. What reproducible builds do is increase visibility.

They do that by ensuring everybody gets the same build, and by ensuring everybody has the source used to do the build, and by providing a reliable link in the audit trail that leads to when the vulnerability was created and who did it. They make it possible to automatically verify all that happened without anybody having to lift a finger, and it's done in a way that can't be subverted as Jia Tan did to the xz utils source.

Ensuring everyone has the same build means you can't just target a few people, everyone is going to get your code. That in turn means there will be many eyes like Andres looking at your work. Once one of them notice something, one of them is likely to trace it back to the identity that added it. Thus all these things combine to have one overall effect - they ensure the problem and it's cause are visible to many eyes. Those eyes can cooperate and combine their efforts to track down the issue, because they are all are absolutely guaranteed they are looking at the same thing.

If you don't think increasing visibility is a powerful technique for addressing problems in software then you have a lot to learn about software engineering. There are software engineers out their who have devoted their entire professional lives to increasing visibility. Without them creating things that merely report and preserve information like telemetry and logging systems software, would be nowhere as reliable as it is now. Nonetheless, if the point you are making is when we shine a little sunlight into a dark corner, the sunlight itself does nothing to whatever we find there, you're right. Fixing whatever the sunlight / log / telemetry revealed is a separate problem.

You aren't correct in thinking visibility doesn't reduce these sorts of attacks. By making the attack visible to more people, it increases the chance it will be notice on any given day, thus reducing it's lifetime and making it less useful. Worse, if the vulnerability was maliciously added the best outcome for the identity is what happened here - the identity was burned, all its contributions where also burned and so a few years of work went down the drain. At worst someone is going to end up in jail, or dead if they live in authoritarian state. The effect is not too different from a adding surveillance cameras in self-checkouts. Their mere presence makes honesty look like a much better policy.

"... academic bullshit" is quite broad.

Since my Ph.D. is in applied math and since for a while I was a college prof, I have a view:

A common criterion for publishing research was that the work was "new, correct, and significant".

Then what should be the criterion for a Ph.D. dissertation? Easily and commonly enough, "new, correct, and significant", or "an original contribution to knowledge worthy of publication".

Rest of the criteria for a Ph.D.? Good background of knowledge in the field, both for research and for teaching. Sooooo, have qualifying exams (QE). The QE I took were not easy. Only about 20% passed. I was the best in the class on 4 of the 5 exams, but what I did for all 4 was due heavily to independent study, 3 before grad school and the 4th in a summer during grad school.

So, in what I saw, a Ph.D. was not easy, and there was no glut of graduates.

By the way, I paid nothing to the university.

Then, due ONLY to help my wife, who suffered terribly for her Ph.D., I took a faculty position. They wanted research, and anything published in any academic journal was sufficient. No need to get financial grants.

My attitude: (1) The research they were asking for, and from the other profs were getting, was junk. (2) I wasn't getting paid enough: Really, brought two cars and left with the same two. Didn't have enough to buy a house and start a family. Net, LOST money. So, I had no respect for that career direction.

It does appear that broadly there has been a big change, at least in US academics: Somehow it is popular to insist that all profs do research -- just teaching is no longer sufficient. Soooo, we get a lot of papers published. Papers? You want papers? Okay, we'll give you papers ....

My summary view: To buy a house, support a family, have a good, secure life, need to look at the US economy, say, more closely than just stay in school, get a Ph.D., accept a position as an assistant prof. E.g., at present the US has a lot of $1 million houses: It appears that few of them were bought just from earnings as an assistant prof, and the people in those houses found some sources of money better than just such a college prof salary.
Accelerating Recommender Model Training by Dynamically Skipping Stale Embeddings
This is real thing I'm glad you've acknowledged as more than just a figment of my imagination. There are things I want to do outside of work programming that are there own level of mental taxing and/or creative...side projects, competitive Magic the Gathering...and I while usually find some juice to squeeze into these, I do agree that it seems like many other professions leave a lot more in the tank.
If anything Engineers would get the least pushback to taking a mental health day of those careers.

Our skillset becomes so uniquely tied to the company we work at that replacing a veteran engineer would take more than a year minimum. The differences between operations at two hospitals is probably minuscule compared to two tech companies.

It also feels like managers have received training in "burnout" so the few times I have uttered those words usually leads to some temporary white glove treatment.

Small thing, but the blurb on the README says

> While the system cannot produce publication-ready articles that often require a significant number of edits, experienced Wikipedia editors have found it helpful in their pre-writing stage.

So it can't produce articles that require many edits? Meaning it can produce publication-ready articles that don't need lots of edits? Or it can't produce publication-ready articles, and the articles produced require lots of edits? I can't make sense of this statement.
Airlines like Spirit and Frontier are just the "bus fare". Want anything extra, like a carry on bag? You'll have to pay for it. Learned my lesson, will just book Southwest or similar next time.
I'd ask what you mean by "fighting the browser"- as generally, the number one way to ruin the performance of your CSS is to introduce depth to it. In general, keeping everything isolated regularly leads to better rendering performance.

I'd say that most of those things you list film directors needing to worry about are just as important to stage directors, but also, film directors have crew and other experts to fill a lot of those gaps. Directors aren't writing scripts, there are scriptwriter for that, just like playwrights, the director just gets some input, which happens in live theater right now. I know a director who is having to edit the script of Hamlet himself right now due to time constraints. A film director doesn't necessarily need to know everything they just need to be able to vocalize their wants and vision to other people who know more, and be able to receive feedback from that. Also, to my knowledge, directors aren't hiring everyone. They might pick a few key people, but that's why you have producers, and you let your key people pick their people under them.
Yep, it's also "just a Markov chain", and "just a data structure", and "just lookups" but what I'm telling you is that it's really (fr fr) a next-token prediction library that you can use like this:

// Predict the next word

agent.getTokenPrediction('what');

// Predict the next 5 words

agent.getTokenSequencePrediction('what is', 5);

// Complete the phrase

agent.complete('hopefully');

// Get a top k sample of completion predictions

agent.getCompletions('The sun');

Hope this helps!
Very handy to do with 7-Zip: -mf=Delta:4 (or just f=Delta:4 in the GUI config window). This is for 4 byte little endian integers, which works pretty well with 16-bit stereo PCM even if there's some unwanted overflow between the channels, if you can't use flac in some context (raw data, etc).
How do you mean? Svelte 4 and 5 don't use any node-specific APIs for SSR
I've been looking for a sensor that can accurately detect a golf club sweeping over the top of it (how close, how quickly, arc of swing).

The idea being to create a golf launch monitor that doesn't require hitting a ball, so you can play sim golf inside. Think playing alongside the Masters as you watch on TV in the lounge - without smashing a golf ball through your TV.

I am wondering if this could be suitable (or a number of them ganged together).

>with proof of intent to harass

It would/should be very difficult to prove. A scenario; there is already a conversation online about how someone is an asshole and I link a publicly available page that has their address and phone numbers, no other message content. Is that prosecutable? Laws that try to read peoples minds (intent) are always abused and rarely just.
LLMs are artificial neural networks. What you seem to be describing is a trie. You dont use tries at all when building neural networks, you use matrices, and typically algorithms like backpropagation to train the weights of the network.

Now, I haven't gone through your code, I'm relying mainly on your description, so what you've said may have confused me and be different from what you've done, but what you seem to be calling an 'embedding' is a trie storing a dataset of sentences. The actual embedding used in LLMs is a mapping from words (a word/token list is effectively a 1 dimensional space) into a much higher dimensional space that captures aspects of the meaning of the words being embedded (e.g. similar concepts may map to similar vectors in the space, or you might be able to do classic word arithmetic like king - man + woman = queen with the vectors that each word maps to).

Then the neural network works, ultimately resulting in a vector in that space, which we map into the next token.

This is a very different process to looking up a set of options in a trie, and I would expect it to outperform the trie method by an enormous amount on longer outputs, or where outputs that are not in the training data are needed.
It's fairly common practice to test out exploits on victims that aren't the actual target first.
This makes sense, but what happens when the new Kindle sucks and you want to switch to the new super cool $startup e-reader? Can't take any of your books with you, so you have to hope that Amazon write an app for your new platform and that that app doesn't suck. So you're essentially trading long-term/future capabilities for a better short-term user experience. That might be worth it, after all it's hard to predict what will happen in the future. But I don't want to worry that someday I might not like the new Kindle and mine breaks, and I want to switch platforms and lose access to my whole library.

Are you able to save/export your own notes to PDF or something? (genuinely asking) I would be maniacal if I lost my handwritten notes to that! (I love my Remarkable tablet for it's ability to easily upload notes as PDFs to Google Drive).

I don't know how you feel about privacy, but behind that reading history data that you can see is details about exactly which pages you read, when you read them, where you read them, how long you were on the page, anything you happened to touch there, and more. Have you read any books that you would be embarrassed to admit to publicly? I have never had to worry that my paper book was spying on me, nor the epub version of the book.

Apple and Google will do that, no one else will be allowed to. Even if you could get the necessary device permissions (you can't), you're going to get sherlocked and be dead next year when Apple and Google bake whatever interesting thing you did into the OS and all apps get it for free.

You're at such a disadvantage on iOS and Android that it's a fools errand to try and build that app.
Like 99% of the people I know who work in IT don’t have anything near what you’re mentioning. They spend $100 on all their networking equipment, not just a switch. They’re not laying fiber in their house. And outside of that group the number is basically 0.

By "correct" here you only mean fashionable. Either approach works. Each has its merits and its costs.

Any big enough system will have parts that are most sensibly built object-oriented, and other parts that are more reasonably functional, plus anything else you can think of.
I think Dubai has from oil production, at least on the surface. Much of its economy is in retail, tourism, construction, transport, IT and financial services, etc. Yes the initial capital came from oil, the bigger issues for them now are perhaps how much comes from debt and how much comes from neighbouring states if their oil economies collapse.

> If everyone ultimately wants the usability of Heroku - which I can believe - why didn't Cloud Foundry take off?

Cloud Foundry isn't like Heroku, it's more like "build your own AWS" or maybe "build against this shim layer so you can make a credible threat to migrate when your cloud provider jacks up their prices".

The target audience isn't application developers, it's CTOs and CFOs.
Because we're all working at different companies on different codebases in different languages doing different things, we're all talking abstractly about something we think is the same, when really it isn't. Obvious to every programmer is to make a library if you're copy and pasting code multiple times,
but the overhead of that means you don't do that if you only do that once or twice. the problem, in humans, as with LLMs, is the context window. after running create-react-app or whatever, there are a number of steps to do that are repetitive, but because that doesn't happen often enough to fully automate it, you just do it manually. LLMs let you do that level of boilerplate without all the overhead of manually configuring snippets in the IDE.

While it may not be the most rigorous investigation, there is undoubtedly LLM-generated text being injected into the corpus of peer-reviewed scientific publications. It is not whether it is occurring but the magnitude that is in question. Being intimately familiar with academic research and publishing, I can confidently state that grad students and professors have a myriad of incentives to offload the bulk of manuscript drafting to a generative model. There have already been countless examples of attorneys getting into trouble in court because ChatGPT hallucinated, citing cases that do not exist, that were then included in court filings. Is this a serious issue and cause for concern? How can we ascertain the scale of the problem? Do we need to hold researchers or journals to account?
