But that's literally what it is. The only reason you can have dialog-like interactions with language models is because they have been trained with special "stop tokens" surrounding dialog, so the model can (generally) auto complete something that looks like a reasons, and then the inference engine can stop producing text when the model produces the stop token.

not distributed systems, but I have a build your own KV store project. It is in TDD fashion with the tests. So, you start with simple functions, pass the tests, and the difficulty level goes up. When all the tests pass, you will have written a persistent key-value store.

Your examples of arrogance has nuance:

> "For all the folks getting excited about my quotes. Here is another - Yes, I am a terrible coder, but I am probably still better than you :)" -Rasmus Lerdorf

Well, he shipped, met his user's needs, met the markets needs and generally hit all the necessary bullet points to make a successful and lasting impact on the world. If he didn't meet some requirement that you have, like memory safety, its because it wasn't necessary.

Checking off the required stuff and leaving the optional stuff for later is the sign of a good coder.

> his lack of giving a shit about things like tests and encryption and security that are extremely important

Woah there, cowboy! It turned out his take was correct, because it continued dominating over all those other technologies which cared about the thing you cared about.

Being correct is better than being elegant, clean, or bug-free.

> This is mostly because we have too many test failures which is primarily caused by us adding tests for bug reports before actually fixing the bug. I still like the practice of adding test cases for bugs and then working towards making the tests pass, however for some of these non-critical bugs that are taking a while to change

That's just a different way of saying "We didn't have enough resources to make the fixes go quicker". What's the alternative here? Don't log the bug? Don't make a test to repro the bug?

> Why didn't they simply FIX the gaping security hole in the not-so-real mysql escape string function,

You sound like you've never been in a professional development shop at all. The reason that things hang around seemingly forever is because someone is using it!.

It's the amateur mickey-mouse outfits that remove stuff which users are still using. It really is the equivalent of "Don't break userland".

No professional worth their salt breaks their existing users without a very good reason. This is why Microsoft is still shipping broken win32 functions that were written in 1998. It's why Linus insists "Don't break userland".

If you want to level up to professional level when shipping software, you're going to be shipping a lot of mistakes that you already know about.

On the whole, your comment makes Rasmus look like more of a professional than you.
I can only talk for Debian, not derivatives.

You definitely see it for several packages during dist-upgrades. Same in sid/testing except it can be any time though it's a rare event.

In case apt/dpkg is configured to ignore those, information still resides in /usr/share/doc/<pkg>

it'll also be put in the release notes when the next major Debian version is released.

I mean, distributions have already figured these things out 20 years ago, but I guess
users nowadays expect these to be announced in Twitter or a pinned Github issue or something :-<
It's because people read more than one sentence and the very next one is:

"Failure to maintain active Thread Group membership while shipping Thread technology may result in legal action, including but not limited to licensing fees."

Which specifically mentions legal action in reaction to shipping only.

"Membership in Thread Group is necessary to ..." is just a statement of their wishes.

It's like "Sleeping is necessary for good health". It doesn't mean we'll sue you, if you don't sleep.

Quora was doomed from the start. When StackOverflow started the founders and the early community put a lot of thought and energy into not becoming one of the niche expert exchanges that already existed at that time. Now, Stackoverflow failed, but not by repeating the mistakes that already had been made. That's not something that could be said about Quora.
Absolutely not. I first noticed this when visiting Iceland. The hot streams bubbling out of the ground sounded the same as boiling hot water being poured from a kettle, not the kind of cold-water stream sound you'd normally expect in the north in winter.

You can try it yourself. Take two identical kettles, boil the water in each of them and pour it somewhere. Obvious difference.

That means said Dave has the wrong bike and is not riding.

The bike is foremost made to not be a wall hanger. Neither is it supposed to cost more than a few hundred bucks.

Recreation does not require a $10k bicycle either. Just a different bike design. Neither does it require a damn battery.
The battery is useful for commuting. If you cannot finish or go to a recreational drive without one, train up to it or change the path. It's that easy.

Manicuired bike parks are kinda fun in the same sense a rollercoaster is. That is, once or twice. Someone should run a bike rental at one of these to fix the issue of bikes getting carried.

Interesting! So far I have seen the opposite - that different sub groups speaking the same language assign different meanings to different emojis, leading to misunderstandings when communicating cross-group. For example, the ubiquitous laugh-to-tears emoji means genuine amusement for some, sarcastic, sometimes even malicious laughter for others.
Why would the cutoff be at building self replicating probes and not before that?

I'm sorry if that's what you understood but ultimately that's just YOUR own subjective interpretation of it through your own bias, which I can't be responsible of.

Link shorteners always depend on the server. They just put the link in a database and map it to some shorter code.

You could have just an encoding and compression scheme, with no storage, but it wouldn’t be able to shorten the urls by much in most cases.
The difference ist that libraries are vaults of knowledge usually operated by governments to ensure access to the public.

This has been one of my biggest gripes with Quora, even if user answers are useful, I’m not seeing them, which defeats the whole purpose of the site.

The disc brakes start to be necessary on very fast ebikes and on downhill bikes going 50+ kph with need for quick thinking and pathing on the fly.

Everyone else uses them because they're fancy and can be made hydraulic more easily. Mechanical disc brakes are mostly worthless and essentially on par. Hydraulic brakes, now, make for comfier braking with less lever force and better modulation. Unless they aren't bled properly, which can be a pain to do.
The alleged benefit of not having to replace a wheel rim instead replacing the disc is way overstated for most riders, even daily.

There's technically no reason not to make a hydraulic caliper or V-brake... Other than it still being expensive. Magura made one of these, they probably still do.

Not that oiling a brake wire every now and then or adjusting the tension on it is hard in any way, but it does take a bit of work someone might rather not do.

It specifically mentions "specifications" too, and I did quote that bit in a previous comment that you replied to, so I know you read it.

How are we supposed to interpret "Membership in Thread Group is necessary to implement, practice, and ship Thread technology and Thread Group specifications."

You are specifically, in the license, forbidden from implementing, practicing or shipping the SPECIFICATIONS.

You literally cannot transfer any material or content that reveals the specifications.

I've brought volumes back from ashes with only their inode-local metadata! Yet, '/var/lib/glusterd' remains a liability somehow. The details of that recovery escape me.

With RDMA it performs like local-attached storage. Performance is great, but once the thing is off rails... Eesh.

Setup is deceptively easy. There's a few reasonable configurations, far more that are less than ideal. The topology you decide casts a lot of lines/decisions.
i think the bigger problem folks have is these ai tools charge a premium for data which was consumed from publicly open websites, where folks originally contributed their knowledge with the belief that others could access the information as-is (paraphrased or what have you)- without being charged a fee

>The “art world” is wildly divorced from the tastes of the majority of people in society

Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Because, if that's what you're saying, then what is your idea of "art"? Something that you can buy, have promptly delivered and hanged on a wall to decorate a space and get compliments from passers-by?

Would you like if all music was something designed to be played on the radio or in malls to decorate musically the environment?
I did! It missed “their” mark. Because that’s not the mark they want to hit. It missed it so much that they are apologizing. So, yes, I did miss it!

If you move the mark, and replace this mark with your mark, then, whatever. Your answer will be always right if you change the question.

So, yes. It did miss the mark.

Disc brakes are not particularly safer, not even in bad weather.
What is safer is having the right or multicompound or high end compound brake pad. Which is actually harder to pull off in a small uncovered disc brake.

The proprietary parts are getting worse, with variant derailleurs and shifters mostly. Then the aforementioned brake pads are almost always proprietary and often specific for the brake caliper, unlike in usual V-brake or caliper brake.
That means more kinds get made to sit on the shelves.

The latest proprietary addition is funny kinds of bottom brackets and interesting mounting systems for brakes.
Shimano has a lot of systems for each of these on their own, and that's just one manufacturer doing planned obsolescence. A lot of the changes do nothing for even advanced usages of the performance bikes.
DWIM in Interlisp was an automated error handler for Lisp code. It would be triggered on errors and then tried to guess possible fixes at runtime (misspelled functions&variables could be corrected, ...).

You snark, but please note the "[1983]" in the title. This article's points have since been expounded on, with new evidence both archaeological and experimental.

Namely:

> The concentric lines were not always perfectly parallel.

1. What the article calls "concentric circles" are, in fact, series of spirals. That is, a cutting point ploughing through the granite, round and round.

And indeed the fine abrasive circles that this article manages to reproduce (image 7b) look nothing like the original fairly well-spaced, deep-cut grooves of the original hole (image 1a, all the way at the top).

Petrie himself documented spiral grooves that span many drill rotations, sometimes totaling over 6 metres in a single continuous groove. This is well established and not disputed because the physical evidence is so plain.

Why the OP failed to mention spiral grooves and talks about "concentric circles" instead is unclear, given they otherwise quote Petrie extensively.

> [the hole] diameter on the outside is 5.3 cm. and tapers to 4.3 cm. on the inside.

> …a tubular copper drill creates a more parallel drill hole since it cannot wear beyond the internal diameter of the drill.

2. By all accounts, the tubular drills were fairly thin. We know this because there are thin (overdrilled) circles at the bottom of discovered tube holes, up to 0.5cm in thickness of the tube wall max. There you can see the actual narrow width of the tube because the bottom wasn't sawn off as in the case of OP's particular sarcophagus.

Again well documented by Petrie and others, supported by overwhelming physical evidence, so not a point of contention.

The OP does not go into how the observed difference of 1cm compares to the wear of the (presumably thinner) "internal diameter of the drill". See for example [0] for a clearer, updated exposition.

----

To be clear, none of this is of course evidence for any "aliens". But reading your snark reminded me of those internet fly-by experts who deride honest work of others because "The science is settled bro, I saw a documentary on NBC! Aliens lol these other people are cretins!"

I'd recommend turning off sound if Youtube amateur commentary irks you, but the breadth of physical evidence (photos and videos of actual stone artefacts, not theories around them) they display is astounding. Reading scientific papers (or watching NBC…) alone won't build you enough intuition and nuance for fly-by snarks. It is a complex topic, and not all amateurs are cretins. A bit of humility helps.
