Yes it is hard to find the right one, given some registries are passive. There seems to be a lack of active involvement coming from them, personally being in the industry. What is happening within it, is almost the same as the real-estate market. Individuals with lots of money owning, digital real-estate and earning passive income.

The lack of active involvement to grow the communities, is slowing things down for sure. This is coming from @ domain.cam

>A junior fat fingers a command line and accidentally deletes prod. Do you

A) Delete prod yourself because it was obviously your design flaw for creating a production server.

B) Teach juniors that deleting prod destroys the company and that to keep the company alive we need to limit anyone to deleting prod more than two times at the company. We don't want to punish people who know how not to delete prod from working on prod.

C) Teach juniors that deleting prod destroys the company and that deleting prod means their instant access to prod is now forfeit for a set amount of time and needs to be reviewed.

D) Ramble on about how everything that goes wrong with a persons actions is a good thing and all the negatives are actually positives.

Would you like a 50/50?

Neither of your solutions are good. You can't "change a process" and have prod be both worked on and undeletable. Prods have existed for a long time without constantly being deleted everywhere, they also need to be accessed. This isn't a situation where you're magically limited from deleting X or Y or Z but not XYZ.

Ah, ok. My variation is it's a vegetarian wolf, a carnivorous goat, and a cabbage.

There's a few different hacks that will get it to work, but one of the more interesting is switching the nouns to emojis.

But almost none of the models ever get it on the first try, and every major model since GPT-4 can have the prompt tweaked to get it with the exception of Llama-3, which I just can't get to solve it with anything I've tried so far (and I'm not sure if it's because of extra strong associations to the standard form from the extra training run or if it lacks the core competencies, though I am starting to think it's the latter given how it responds as I point out errors).

I particularly like this variation because it requires remapping concepts in unintuitive ways based on broad abstractions, like having a goat potentially eat a wolf because of it being carnivorous.

I don’t enjoy React much, but (as I’ve commented before) I do love Mithril (https://mithril.js.org). Immediate-mode UI via a vDOM, like React, but small, simple, and with none of the reactivity complications. I’d never go back to building apps with pure JS.
Why would I need to “escape” my city?
IMHO this is not a fixable problem, it's not even a new problem because false information existed since ever. With the Web it become globally available, with social media it become globally spreadable and with "AI" it has become of endless supply in form and variety.

Humans need to develop humane defense mechanisms for the new reality, tech cannot be stopped and cannot be hermetically insulated against mistakes or bad actors.

Got it! I think nested envs become confusing really quickly, so there it is indeed better to do it explicitly.

My assumption overall in this is that most people have just one .env per project (or perhaps in sub-folders per environment, e.g prod, staging, local), but these don't nest. With nested .env files, the mental overhead they bring remove (IMO) most of the benefits, if not more.
That's because it's being used in the wrong way. It isn't a factual database.
You've had a very different experience of the past 13 years if you've experienced no major shifts. Even the past year has had a whole big change with the advent of LLMs, nevermind the rise of the web, VSCode, typescript, rust, and more.

In 2011, Java was on version 7. We're on 22 now in 2024. There have been some paradigm shifts in Java during that time. Streams (Java 8), Lambda expressions (Java 9), the var keyword (Java 10), Records (Java 14), switch and yield (Java 12/14), instanceof (Java 16). Functional programming over OOP; Cloud and microservices, emphasis on security, DevX, concurrency.

Code written in 2011 still runs, but the world's changed around it.

Actually, I guess I haven't stopped anywhere that isn't in a commuter zone, so it makes sense that I wasn't aware of this.
$400, damn. Although, to be fair, that book does look to be the size of a hefty fantasy trilogy. If the printing quality is up to snuff, it should be a gorgeous and very interesting read.
I promise you, in particle physics it is seen as somewhat suspect. But a very careful analysis with machine learning costs a couple PhD-years: it would be even more suspect to forgo an improvement on a 400m dollar experiment.

As you say, it's easy for a neural network to pick up on simulation artifacts, rather than real physical features. The appendix of the original paper [1] explains how they quantify the failure modes of this approach. One kind of cool approach was training an adversarial network to corrupt simulated backgrounds to make them signal-like. The details are sparse, but it sounds like fooling the classifier required a level of corruption that would have been noticeable when comparing the simulation to data.

Can you do this wrong? Sure, but you can also go wrong with the feature engineering that particle physicists have used in cases where they don't trust machine learning. You won't really know if the methodology is sound unless you:

- read the paper

- follow some references (the paper is a short-form "Physical Review Letter", which means it's impossible to give any meaningful review using the text itself)

- hopefully find some more detailed description of what they did

The last point is often the difficult for particle physics collaborations, they are generally a bit protective of their data and internal working.

I'm not a pilot or an aviation expert, but I think you're arguing against a strawman here. The investigation report said nothing about determining the precise stall speed, it just recommended "that pilots be informed about the stall behaviour of the Robertson short take-off and landing kit on the Cessna 185 aircraft, both by listing the issue in the aircraft flight manual supplement and through education through the aviation authority". The fact that the stall speeds were not listed on the test flight report was just further proof that the pilot didn't actually test the stall behaviour of the aircraft.

What the investigation report also didn't mention is that pilots should actually practice stall recovery and not just think "if I believe strongly enough that my plane is unstallable, I can ignore stall recovery". But that probably goes without saying...

It's multifactorial, fertility is tied to a looooot of things, including but not limited to quality of life, religion, economic prosperity, personal wealth, education, access to contraception, view on having kids,...

Online you'll find many accounts of people not wanting kids because it's too painful/will ruin your body, it's too expensive, it won't let you live your lifestyle, the future will be shit anyways, &c.

Global warming will play a role later but for now it's probably more about our modern lifestyle and individualism. Obesity &co are mechanically reducing fertility but it's a drop in the ocean compared to the fact that people don't want (as many) kids anymore
Close enough. It's "Don't try"
This seems so backwards to me. As a user of LLMs, it's clear to me that tokens generated by ChatGPT and similar are not to be interpreted as a legally-valid statement by the company making the LLMs, unless explicitly stated by said company. I certainly don't engage with them that way. I believe this to be fairly obvious to anyone who has used such tools, so I just see this as an opportunity to sue for a quick buck.
Ah that's why they're complaining about the student loans.

In The European countries I have been living in, the concept of personal bankcrupty doesn't exist in the same way, at least. People who get too much loans kind of just hang with them, after 15-20 years they are forgiven AFAIK.
We currently don’t know how to calculate the nucleus’s bound state despite a thorough understanding of individual pieces that make it together, as explored in colliders like CERN and others. The problem is similar to telling at what temperature water is boiling, freezing, and its density from knowing the properties of a single water molecule. We understand quantum mechanics and Columb forces govern the properties; it is incredibly hard to renormalise the system from an energy scale of a gas to a liquid or solid. Similarly, it is for a quark-gluon plasma; thus, phenomenological models are used, like how the nuclear potential could look and the masses for different combinations of nuclei.
Life has no way. It can't remind you of anything.
A decent number do.
You make a decent point... but this recent run up in property values truly feels different than the norm. I'm from the Phoenix area, and prior to the Pandemic, I could have afforded a three-bedroom, two bathroom house with a pool, and with a sub six-figure income to boot. That same property has doubled or tripled in price within the past few years (which is an abnormal level of growth in real estate) plus the interest rates have also gone up. I'm getting fscked on both ends, with a monthly mortgage payment that would make me absolutely house poor.

I just hate the feeling of needing to put more of my life on hold because a world changing event disrupted my buying power and messed up the available housing stock. Truly the perfect storm of disappointment.
Although can you recover at a height 15m above terrain?
In the Java world, sure. Other programming language ecosystems tend to have tons of churn. For an anecdote, every TypeScript project I find from 2021 or earlier is simply impossible to build nowadays, meanwhile the ClojureScript code I dealt with in a previous job was able to survive 8 years worth of updates to libraries and the core language. I frequently ran into code that was last modified around 2013 because it just worked and didn't need any refactoring. (For reference, ClojureScript didn't have a public release until 2011)

For another anecdote, every Golang repository I've found that predates v2 modules is nearly impossible to build, especially if it contains dependencies that link straight to Google Code instead of GitHub. (As an exercise, try building the first public releases of etcd, prometheus, etc. They were super simple projects compared to what they are today, but you will have a tough time building them)

Java and most JVM languages are the rare exception IMO (unless the project uses Gradle). That's one of many reasons why I love working with the Java platform :)

> You might be surprised to learn that I actually think LLMs have the potential to be not only fun but genuinely useful. “Show me some bullshit that would be typical in this context” can be a genuinely helpful question to have answered, in code and in natural language — for brainstorming, for seeing common conventions in an unfamiliar context, for having something crappy to react to.

Anesthesia shouldn't take your brain offline. It just makes you unconscious, paralyzes you, and gives you amnesia. Your brain is still active under general anesthesia. What you were thinking or feeling for those 8 hours was just forgotten.

Is there a difference between iOS and iPadOS in regards of restrictions, or why do you mention iPadOS specifically?
The most dangerous situations are when you're flying low and slow like before a landing though, when there's often no time for recovery (especially when you end up in a spin due to asymmetric stall). When I was flying I always worried about this too the point of approaching too fast. But I never finished my PPL anyway
Well, ISO C++ is a standard, and the standard being finished does not mean the implementation being finished.

Also, modules is probably one of the biggest changes in terms of work required in build systems, compilers and tooling since at least C++11.

Are today's atomic clocks really so imprecise? Without further explanation of this, it reminds me of this comic (which is alas showing its age both by mentioning flash, and by implying that 1024 is already a uselessly high number of cpus to support):

Hi Mr Philips,

I liked the first chapters quite a bit, and trying it coming from a history of vi/vim/sublime/vs where I never took the time for proper configuration. However I'm not a big fan of subscriptions (Patreon) is there a way I can do a one time payment for the book, or is it far from being finished?

Thanks
My tip: Increase the size of .cc files. Since each .cc file is including tens of thousands of .h lines, you should not allow developers to check in < 100 line .cc files.

The OP was seeing build times increase faster than loc. Probably someone on the team likes small .cc files.
Their behaviour around llama.cpp acknowledgement is very shady. Until the very recent, there was no mention of llama.cpp in their README at all and now it's tucked away all the way down. Compare that to the originally proposed PR for example: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/3700

I don't think that grid-scale batteries are working with consumers on the grid in the same way that your home UPS is with you in your house.

Perhaps most-obviously: Consumers who are suddenly running on grid-scale batteries have no idea that this is a thing that is happening. There's no signal for them to shut their stuff off -- automated, or not.

It's a whole different paradigm than your UPS under your desk is: With your UPS, your system(s) receive a signal that things are running on local battery, and you've elected to configure things to use that signal to order an automated shutdown.

But, again: That doesn't happen with the grid-scale batteries under discussion -- at all. You're comparing apples to dildos here.

(Which is not to say that grid-scale batteries offer new opportunities for power cuts, because the opposite of that is true. It is instead just to say that unknowingly using grid-scale batteries is nothing like monitoring a local UPS is.)
Dr. Phil has a great speech about starting new late in life, I highly recommend it.
I get it that reading the article might take effort but this one is relatively easy and short.

The title means that February was the 52nd month in a row having more deaths than births. It's explained at the end of the article in a sentence.

People have a fundamental misunderstanding of what LLMs are.

I’ve had to explain this so many times even to engineers. People keep using it as Google. It is not a mechanism to retrieve facts.

It’s rather a reasoning mechanism, that when used like a search engine generates text that looks like output from a retrieval of facts.

The article talks about OpenAI being unwilling to correct errors. But they just can’t. There just aren’t facts like birthdays for specific people discernible from the weights. Maybe for some.

So what would they correct? The best that can be done is like it is said in the article, apply filtering to refuse to answer.
In sense it is suicide mission. To stay up as long as possible and control the war to bitter end...
This will fail with comments. Of course you can script around that as well (I have done so), but it's not bulletproof. It makes sense to have a dedicated tool for the job.
Aviv Regev: The Revolution in Digital Biology (Interviewed by Eric Topol)
I agree with the sentiment that IAM in PostgreSQL is complex.

What makes it complex is that there are 3 layers of objects (Database, Schema, Tables) and also implicit grants given to DB object owners

To be able to select from a table you need:

* CONNECT on the Database

* USAGE on the Schema (Given implicitly to schema owner)

* SELECT on the Table (Given implicitly to table owner)

To see these privileges we need to understand acl entries of this format

`grantee=privilege-abbreviation[]/grantor:`

* Use \l+ to see privileges of Database

* Use \dn+ to see privileges of Schemas

* Use \dp+ to see privileges of Tables

Privileges are seen [here](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-priv.html)

e.g. in the following example user has been given all permissions by postgres role

`user=arwdDxt/postgres`

If the “grantee” column is empty for a given object, it means the object has default owner privileges (all privileges) or it can mean privileges to PUBLIC role (every role that exists)

`=r/postgres`

Also it's confusing when Public schema is used. You have CREATE permission on schema so when the tables are created with the same user you select data with and you have owner permissions out of the box.
Usage of a comma makes all the difference in the world.

Same question, really!? Like... what would you jump on? Why? What do you do that some hypothetical "killer app" would improve, and so much so that it would be pivotal in helping this thing go mainstream?

I just looked into what noyb is, thank you for pointing this out. Perhaps this is something that had to be brought to court at one point or another, so we can set a precedent one way or the other, then. At the moment I think I'm hoping nothing comes out of this.
That's exactly my thought reading the piece: it talks about "errors", "mistakes", "irrecoverable damage" where everything could be viewed as "non-optimal choices." And they are judged with the benefit of hindsight, because they could have been the most logical choices with the information available at the time.

Past events can't be changed, and we are not the person who made the decision at the time anymore.
I'm unclear on how you mean to connect those technologies in a useful way.

I could see LLMs as query-suggestors, but it doesn't make much sense to feed them data that isn't more "language." Their fundamental design is not conducive to doing math or solving logic constraints.
