> The theory is that the increasing supply disincentives people from just letting their money sit stagnant

I've always found this hypocritical in some way, since Keynesians and other Great Society/New Deal types are now generally very pro-environment and supposedly anti-consumerism.

So we're now in a situation where funny enough standard economics (which we're told is brain dead to oppose) would be exactly pro-consumerism and anti-environment just based on the idea of it incentivizing people to "not let money sit idle". It's clear to me that they're now faced with a problem being so pro-consumerism - they have to control the consumer through ever increasing regulation and surveillance.
At the bottom, it it says that is a downside
X11 with modern frameworks passes only damaged bitmaps too...
No local font rendering, not vector primitives.

And for me inability to detach whole session from one server (in X11 terms) and attach to another is showstopper.

X11 needed something like console "screen"/"tmux" from the very beginning, in the core protocol, IMHO. Not for multiplexing of workspaces or desktops, but for this session re-attaching.

Damn you got Germany good. It's all collapsing now, mensa shoot-outs, marching bands playing on public radio, students getting lectured by ICMBs.

I was just giving an example of a wider sentiment on MIC involvement outside the US. The specifics don't matter at all. In much of Europe working for or with MIC is not widely accepted and makes many people uneasy.

Based on the 11-2023 knowledge cutoff date, I have to wonder if it might be Llama 3 400B rather than GPT-N. Llama 3 70B cutoff was 12-2023 (8B was 3-2023).

Claude seems unlikely (unless it's a potential 3.5 rather than 4), since Claude-3 cutoff was 8-2023, so 11-2023 seems too soon after for next gen model.

The other candidate would be Gemini, which has an early 2023 cutoff, similar to that of GPT-4.
> This is a progressive, good idea. It will save 24,000 injuries a year.

This is what it is promised it will do. What it will do is what it can, with the resources that are left over for development and safety - once shareholders and execs are satisfied (per scotus: Dodge vs Ford).
>The council now plans to begin a "refreshed programme to implement Oracle Fusion as the preferred ERP system, based on a model of 'adopt not adapt' with a new set of suppliers…

LOL.

Story as old as time. Bean counters chase a cheaper ERP solution, but then everyone else wants the new ERP to work just like the old ERP. One 5000% overbudget later, the new ERP now works like the old ERP after spending 20 years worth old-erp subscription payments on only the upgrade. Or your project fails and you give up.

Government does it and so do businesses.

It's also why some ERPs are monstrosities because they also try and contort the ERP out of the box to make every possible sale.

The other joke is startups and vendors that say, ALL OTHER ERPS SUCK, IM GOING TO MAKE A STREAMLINED BETTER ERP.
10 years later its a monstrosity because they tailored it to make every possible sale just like the other guys.
Oh, good point... Right, back to the drawing board - how about "kilocount" for a thousand, "megacount" for a million, and "gigacounts" for a (short) billion? The prefixes were apparently resurrected from the Greek for use in the metric system, but haven't had any other contradictory meanings as far as I can tell. I know I'm mixing up the Greek and Latin roots with "-count", but "kiloarithmos" is two syllables too many!
Nice! What is the point of the "Levels"? I'm suspicious of any attempt a gamification.

Old CSV files bring no stigma.

There is no CSV specification. That does bring opprobrium. RFC4180 is from 2005, long after Unicode and XML, so people should have known better. The absence of a standard points to disagreement, perhaps commercial disagreement, but IETF should be independent, is it not?

That failure to standardize encoding, and other issues (headers, etc.), has wasted an enormous amount of time for many creative hackers, who could have been producing value, rather than banging their head against a vague assembly of pseudo-spec-illusions. Me included, sadly.
One thing you could think about is the very simple idea of “I’m walking north on park avenue, how do I get into the park”?

The answer is always ‘turn left’ no matter where you are on park avenue. These kind of heuristics would allow you to build more general path finding based on ‘next direction’ prediction.

OpenAI may well have built a lot of synthetic direction data from some maps system like Google maps, which would then heavily train this ‘next direction’ prediction system. Google maps builds a list of smaller direction steps to follow to achieve the larger navigation goal.

The Egyptians domesticated the ostrich and it has been familiar to Mediterranean civilization since. England was part of the Roman world just a few hundred years before the period in question. At that time at least, there were lions in London's zoos and gladiatorial games. I don't know of records to this effect, but there might even have been been ostriches - a favourite animal to import for the games elsewhere in the empire.

It's much less likely there were live ostriches in Anglo-Saxon times but the rich have always enjoyed mangeries and exotic animals. I wouldn't be surprised. And there would be traveller accounts and stories, increasingly mythical to be fair, as large population movements from places where people had actually seen them declined in the post-Roman era.
I was watching David Kipping on Lex, and he mentioned some absurd number of requests to Hubble and Webb get denied (like 90%+). With Starship advancing at such a rapid pace, and with their launch size capabilities, I really hope cheaper "single purpose" telescopes start getting produced and launched. Could be a cool business opportunity for some obscure engineering company.

If you're a fan of tldr-ai, you might also like my site, EmergentMind.com, which does something similar: it surfaces trending AI papers based on social media engagement (including HackerNews upvotes!), then summarizes those papers using GPT-4 (a bullet point summary + detailed writeup based on the actual content of the paper), and highlights discussions on HN, Reddit, YouTube, GitHub, and X about that paper.

I don't want to highjack this launch post (we definitely need more tools in this space!), just wanted to share my tool for anyone interested since it's related. Feedback welcome: matt@emergentmind.com.
First, here's the actual guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Names_and_... . Of course they still have to use stuff like #include <windows.h> but it's very very limited.

They also are not removing any info -- most of it IS project headers. To me that's the actual bonkers bit :)

With GCC/Clang, headers found in paths passed with -isystem are headers that are immune to compiler arguments like -Werror because they are, by definition, out of your control. In Google's case, ALL code is already checked in the project repo, including language stdlib. So none of them are system headers "per se".
I've never heard of an ISP called "SonicWall"; in what geographical area do they operate a network?
In small government, the government should not have the access to this money to begin with. You can roughly see how small your government really is by comparing its outlays (not taxes because of deficit spending) vs GDP. Corruption of this kind is still possible, but at least it would be less wasted money relatively speaking.
Your comment about the colour fidelity of deep sky objects is waay too sloppily written for you to get away with that tone!

I mean, just look at what you wrote:

as anyone who owns a telescope that can point at trees knows, you can definitely "look at things" and see them in colour (assuming you have normal colour vision).
I think microsoft released one the other day about securing directory servers... But yeah this is a neat concept, but a lot of the tech is very AWS specific - probably still fun to try even without much AWS heavy - they look like they're mostly testing your understanding of the 'edges' of the cloud.

i can't speak for app stores, but my band, based out of Anchorage, Alaska, makes good money from streams. we are completely independent. we don't use cdbaby, but distrokid who charges a flat fee to upload, and publishes to all available platforms. that flat fee also covers publishing to new platforms as they become available to distrokid.

Oooops, it is IBM RPG, not PRG! My bad!

There are some links in Wikipedia.

I never used it, but only read big thread about SQL vs RPG on Russian-speaking forum, and there was a ton of examples from person who works with IBM i platform in some big bank. Basic operations look like SQLite bytecodes: open table, move cursor after record with key value "X", get some fields, update some field, plus loops, if's, basic arithmetic, etc.
I maintain a system I created in 2004 (crazy right). Not sure how we lived; but at the time, emojis were not as much of a thing. This has come to bite me several times.
You still have to branch on opcode selection which you're omitting in your translation. Branching on "expression type" and column type in your first example is also unnecessary. Bytecodes have different opcodes to operate on different types and different arities, so in both cases you have only one unpredictable branch for each operation/opcode.

The main benefit of bytecodes is then cache friendliness, by removing all of those unpredictable loads and stores to obtain the expression details (opcode, arguments, etc.). All of those are inlined into the bytecode array which is already in cache.

If you are referring to the "ADVANCED IMPAIRED DRIVING TECHNOLOGY" section of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act at https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3684... then I think you've misread the bill.

First, it does not require passive alcohol detection. The text allows a system which can "passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired". I think this is meant to allow systems like the one in Volvo’s EX90 electric SUV described at https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/21/23363673/volvo-ex90-elect... ("two cameras inside the vehicle will monitor the driver’s eye behavior to determine whether they are paying attention or even perhaps impaired").

Second, 2026 is the absolute minimum. It requires first a final rule:

"Subject to subsection (e) and not later than 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue a final rule prescribing a Federal motor vehicle safety standard under section 30111 of title 49, United States Code, that requires passenger motor vehicles manufactured after the effective date of that standard to be equipped with advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology."

and then (assuming it is not delayed - the bill says it can be delayed for up to 10 years before sending a report to Congress):

"shall be not earlier than 2 years and not more than 3 years after the date on which that rule is issued"

Has that final rule been prescribed? Last I heard they were still testing the various options.
So trailing commas are another failure. That issue is mildly entangled with headers. Perhaps start making a list...
You see no difference between non-RLHFed GPT3 from early 2022 and GPT-4 in 2024? It's a very broad consensus that there is a huge difference so that's why I wanted to clarify and make sure you were comparing the right things.

What type of usages are you testing? For general knowledge it hallucinates way less often, and for reasoning and coding and modifying its past code based on English instructions it is way, way better than GPT-3 in my experience.

Migration from a monolithic architecture to microservices presents challenges in identifying and managing dependencies within the codebase. Observability can help shine a light on code dependencies and provide insights for safer and more iterative refactoring. Digma, an IntelliJ plugin, can be used to collect and analyze tracing data to identify areas with high levels of runtime dependencies and reveal performance baselines.
This was my thought too - since smithy is already out there and used in a similar domain, it would be useful to have a comparison. “Doesn’t have Kotlin and Gradle all over the show” seems like a significant advantage in favour of TypeSpec.

I would hope nobody bases their existing infra on vaporware, but planning a future endeavor around future tech is risky but not stupid.

If you don't have clarity of thought, no intelligence in the world can help you.

I disagree.

Moronic people in positions of power are often in this situation. So far this has worked out well for the moronic powerful people: as long as they can convince intelligent people to work for them, they get to be moronic, powerful, and successful. This strategy has been working for them (as a group) for several millenia.

I think this is why the "LLMs will evolve into God In My Pocket" story gets so much traction. To a moronic person in power this sounds a lot like everyday life, but with computers cleaning up their messes instead of humans. It is totally plausible to them.
At this point UK local government authorities should spend the money on suing Oracle. This is ridiculous.
> While we recognize the passion that players have for classic games, supporting emulation also supports the illegal piracy of our products.

Nintendo has never, ever, called the rerelease of their older titles emulation. Nintendo makes a conscious distinction between what they do internally, and external emulation. They have somewhat softened the wording of their statements, but their actions have shown they consider emulation outside Nintendo as a scourge.
> People were doing that 30 years ago with the chips available at the time

I agree to a certain extent, but this isn't something done in isolation, and I think you're falling into the classic trap of assuming a hard problem is actually easy.

Just having chips alone isn't enough for simulations - you need an entire ecosystem of SDKs, BLAS implementations, etc that are very difficult and very hardware dependent.

Most of the existing stack and ecosystem in the space was developed with Intel, AMD, and increasingly Nvidia hardware in mind and with their input, and to even reach that point you need to build multiple domestic champions if you're the kind of country that's increasingly facing tech sanctions which imo are increasingly comparable to those imposed on Russia post-Crimea.

And this is why there has been a massive push on this kind of domestic ecosystem in China after the Xeon import sanctions began.

Also, as I mentioned previously, the biggest reason is nuclear simulations, as China has de facto chosen to transition from defensive nuclear capabilities to offensive as well [0] (sources in this comment thread).

iPhone and iPads are marketed as general computing devices and are used by people as general computing devices. Being able to run whatever software you want is a cornerstone of computers that some computer companies have tried to prohibit for their own profit margins, and branded it as a security feature. The industry hasn’t been able to right this in over a decade, so I support governments intervening.
I don’t think it’s problematic. You don’t build a system then figure out how to use it. You make a goal and that figure out what it takes to meet it and build accordingly.
> Just because someone doesn't have a mortgage doesn't mean they magically have free money.

I'm talking about people who have paid off their mortgage. They can re-mortgage their house, which would make a large sum available to them right then and there. I've even heard of people doing this when a house gains value: "extend" the mortgage, which gets you the gain of the house value in spendable cash ...
