It’s partly the late stage effect of the ad supported everything business model. Rage is very effective to generate engagement, tribalism and passion. When major politicians are ready to exploit the us vs them dynamic to their benefit it creates a perfect storm.

Also the Guardian and other news outlets have been driving this where every headline is about how one group or another is outraged it’s getting a bit ridiculous.

One of them had over 3 years in the cloud space alone. The other two probably close to 5 years. All of them were from the top 3 universities in the country. I guess it had to do with the forced quota system. In big companies, there is a need to mandatorily fill their positions with x percent of locals. Sometimes, it is not a good thing.
Yes, it doesn't need a parser. I didn't link to one post, it's a tag that links a series of posts discussing tagless interpreters. You can use the interpreter in the first post directly without the parser as well, it's a separate component. IQueryLanguage<T> is the interpreter definition.
Yi is led by Dr. Kai-Fu Lee.

They have been releasing a lot of really good models over the last ~6 months. Their previous (1.0?) Yi-34B-Chat model ranks similar to GPT-3.5 on Chatbot Arena. [1] A quantized version of that model can be run on a single consumer video card like the RTX 4090.

This new set of models should raise the bar again by adding more options to the open source LLM ecosystem. If you inspect the config.json[2] in the model repo on HuggingFace, you can see that the model architecture is LlamaForCausalLM (the same as Meta's Lllama). The difference between the Yi models and a simple fine-tuning is that Yi models have had a different set of data, configuration, and process going back to the pre-training stage.

Their models perform well in Chinese and in English.

There are a lot of good models coming out of China, some of which are only published to ModelScope. I haven't spent much time on ModelScope because I don't have a Chinese mobile number to use to create an account. Fortunately, Yi publish to HuggingFace as well.

> I'd rather categorize handwaving of Rusts additional complexities by their community as silly.

I believe what steveklabnik meant, was that all this extra complexity (the borrow checker) already exists in the language for other reasons. It's not an additional cost to the compiler or the developer when using the reference-counted types (Rc or Arc).
OpenAI is not the only one producing models from SO data. There are open models doing so as well

I'd say anger IS a prime engagement mechanism, its purpose is almost to 'engage' ("I must take action to fix this now/it is on ME to engage with this now). The problem is that it can be co-opted and misused to drive up numbers for people sitting in San Francisco, outside of its original purpose in a huntergatherer society.

What reasoning lead you to treat this apporach as an anxiety booster? Do you refer to using productivity apps in general?

Personally it was the opposite to me - various games increased my clarity, focus and the feeling of empowerment.

Though I have to say that gamifying life is about "creating a game" - game can be too difficult (lead to anxiety) or too easy (lead to boredoom) or the right one. Just like "normal" game for entertainment.

Tucker Carlson interviewed the founder of Telegram, interesting interview. Telegram is based out of UAE to avoid jurisdiction of Russian and Western intelligence agencies.

Tucker Carlson also revealed that he's had the contents of his private signal messages leaked to media (allegedly by US Intel agencies monitoring his communication).

There's a nice video from a psychological experiment that illustrates it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=meiU6TxysCg

I think evolution hardwired our primate brains against inequality. We go out of our way to punish those who don't play nice and share with the broader group. Otherwise complex societies would have never emerged, because assholes exploiting and taking advantage of peers would ruin and doom any group larger than a few individuals.

> If you do the loads as uint32, you lose the single atomic operations on two different values which was the whole point of this exercise.

There's no need for any flirting with undefined behaviour through type-punning.

When doing the atomic write, you prepare the uint64_t value to write by using bitwise operations, and then perform the atomic write of the resultant uint64_t value.

When doing the atomic read, you atomically read the uint64_t value, then use bitwise operations to unpack the original pair of uint32_t values.

Put differently, writing is done by pack-then-atomically-write, and reading is done by atomically-read-then-unpack.

Turns out we're both overthinking it though, there's a more direct way: use a struct containing an array of 2 uint32_t elements, or declare a struct with 2 uint32_t members. Both C and C++ support atomic reads and writes of user-defined types. For a C++ example showing this see [0]. This will be atomic and, presumably, should be lock-free where possible (hard to imagine the compiler would introduce padding in the struct type that would sabotage this).

> Using a single uint64 as the memory type works, but you no longer have two different names fields and have to pack/unpack them by hand.

Yes, the stored variable would hold 2 different meaningful values, which is a little ugly.

> There's no ub if you use the compiler extension, just totally clear code that does the right thing

Anyone with a deep knowledge of the language will quickly recognise it as incorrect per the language standard. I wouldn't call that totally clear code that does the right thing.

Your proposed solution is only assured to behave as expected if the correct compiler-specific flags are used, otherwise it will introduce undefined behaviour. There's no guarantee that a compiler will even offer such a flag. It's also likely to trigger compiler warnings.

Agreed but I also comment for validation.
Being true to HN guideline of assuming good faith, I can say that the place is really irrelevant, as, from my experience, you can't effectively force a definition within an institution without taking away academic autonomy. Mind it, this is a definition stemming from the Social Studies/Culturology context, and not from Art Criticism/Art History, as the former fields do not concern themselves with making a value judgement.

I'm long out of the loop, so I can give only general directions. You could say that the definition in question aligns with Riegl's idea of embodiment of Kunstwollen, perhaps in some way with Collingwood's aesthetic expressivism view of art, and also integrates the semiotics approach, which helps with underlining the importance of both the form/medium and the subjectivity of perception (this is important for looking at art in historical/sociological context).

If your question was, in fact, an Ad Locus attack - well, the name for it is Genetic Fallacy, I believe.

This is a bit of a contentious opinion perhaps, but I think there is a generational thing going on. Younger generations seem to have a lot of certainty about what is good or bad (but how do they know?) and are unable to hold a conversation that challenges them without feeling offended. The idea of 'hate speech' is ascendent, that it is right to deplatform and marginalise. Mostly forgotten is the idea that people have freedom of speech, and that many and various opinions are fine, and should even be encouraged. If only a narrow (often corporate or governmental) set of opinions are acknowledged, yes many feel marginalised. Which leads to anger. And also leads to a deteriorating social situation where everyone is the poorer, even if they think they are right.
A different way to think about it: if the army has to use everyone (in this case, an IDF-style gender-blind everyone?), it has an incentive to ensure that everyone gets educated.

I don't think this is mutually exclusive, and it depends on the nature of concerns. Should these students be complaining? No. Could it be and has it been much worse? Yes. Should we still hope for a society where advances in technology and productivity filter into leisure time for the masses? I think so. Is global warming , and reduction in biodiversity an existential threat, and the sort of thing we should be deeply ashamed about as a society, and doing everything we can to slow? Yes.
The US Army all-volunteer force only seemed like it was working well in the 1980s and 1990s because of persistently high unemployment, low opportunity, and general discrimination against African Americans in the civilian economy. With unemployment at or below 5% for all races, military recruiting must be effectively impossible.
Now everyone gets to try to control everyone else rather than regulate their own emotions (“trigger warnings”), and you have the absolute shit show we have now.
In the US, yes. Middle class is 50% and continues to decline. The upper class is also getting richer.

The state of the art MRI stuff uses "compressed sensing" -- essentially image completion in some domain or another. Presumably, carefully designed to not hallucinate details or one would hope.

There isn't necessarily a particularly neutral choice here: the MRI scan isn't in the pixel domain, artifacts are going to be 'weird' looking-- e.g. edges that move during the scan ringing across the whole image.
How could it not be?

If someone was doing much better than you it would be hard to know or it was more formalized within the social hierarchy itself: nobles, kings, etc.

Now all you have to do is open social media and see dozens of people doing things you could never even dream of doing.
It sounds like you are putting pressure on yourself to "succeed", to "achieve" a certain level of something by 30.

What? And, more important, why?

Comparing yourself to others is not a game you can win. You can only lose. So don't play.

(What do I mean by "you can only lose"? Let's say there are 100 people in your neighborhood. If you're doing better than 90 of them, you're not looking at them. You're looking at the 10 who are doing better than you. And if you're doing better than all of them, you're not comparing yourself to them at all, because you're not there any more. You've moved to a better neighborhood, and you're comparing yourself to your new neighbors. "Neighbors" can be real, or it can be a metaphor. As you move up, you start comparing yourself to new people, not to the same old people. And so you're still not a "success", even though you're on your third or fourth group of people that your comparing yourself to.)

As I said, don't play that game.

But even if you're playing a different game, even if you have a fixed standard of what you want to achieve, why are you pressuring yourself to achieve it by 30? Why the artificial deadline?

Don't judge who you are by external achievements. Don't put your identity in them. Find out who you are, apart from what you do.
Agency. All power has been effervescing up up up, into stratospherically high off C suites.

We no longer see a local world that we have a place in around us; the decisions are all made in far off places & built by production line labor thousands of miles yet further still.

Few about figure out an orientation & poise in the modern "thrownness" of being. Many do adapt & find a way, but

Without agency, we have no core of self to believe in, to fall back in. Every offense grates further. Anger is for the reactive, for the unempowered, those without; those with a sense of self can have affronts big & small roll off, because they have a connection to meaning. They believe in something and their role in that something. Agency & self co-develop, and are the antidote to being easily swayed.

(This is not a total answer. But I believe these conditions form a sizable chunk of the bedrock of our social conditions & experiences, set up what zeitgeists come and go.)

(This belief in human agency is Ppart of the reason I believe so strongly in http://malleable.systems. Technology ought offer us a path to agency, a way to check the Black Iron Prison of consumerdom/control. This is a religious/spiritual calling, of letting people back in to systems, to me.)
Social media pushed algorithms designed to enrage so that shareholders could make money on "engagement."

Life is becoming more expensive. Inflation, shrinkflation, greedflation, convenience fees, subscriptions increasing in price and helpfully serving the ads they promised the subscription fee would remove. All of it collectively rising faster than the money a person can bring in if they're a wage-worker and not an investor who can live off of capital and on a megayacht.

People aware that life is worse than they were promised, and going to get worse still, but being gaslighted or shamed if they voice it, and the entrenched players having the means to hijack the conversation and stifle dissent in a way never before seen in history.

A lot of sci-fi demonstrates an oppressive regime by having the lower classes live in sterile boxes containing only what the regime wants and ceaselessly surveilling, meting out "justice" for the slightest infraction without appeal or mercy. Between being surrounded by GenAI phantasmagoria and shadowbanning, we're just building the digital equivalent and hailing it as Progress, Therefore Good. Pot's boiling, lid's locked in place, and it's only a matter of time before it explodes.
IMHO, it's also the increasing amount of leisure time that we have now, coupled with smartphones.
If alternative treatment with decent prognosis exists (in this case Hemodialysis is such an option), to get past the ethics committee, first operations like these typically have to be done on patients on their death bed. That doesn’t make it likely the patients survive a long time.

For example, here’s what Wikipedia says this of the first receiver of a heart transplant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Washkansky):

“As a result of heart attacks in 1965, approximately only one third of his heart was still functioning. In late October, he went into a diabetic coma, but regained consciousness. Once, when he was swollen with fluid and in considerable pain, his wife Ann asked him in a whisper how he was doing. He managed a smile and whispered, "I'm on top of the world." He was also suffering from kidney and liver failure.”

And that’s a case where no good alternative treatment existed, at a time when ethics committees weren’t as stringent as they are today, if they existed at all.
The idea sounds great, but the examples they provide aren’t encouraging for the usefulness of the technique:

> The brain images showed various brain tissues whereas the spine images revealed intervertebral disks, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid. Abdominal images displayed major structures like the liver, kidneys, and spleen. Lung images showed pulmonary vessels and parenchyma. Knee images identified knee structures such as cartilage and meniscus. Cardiac cine images depicted the left ventricle contraction and neck angiography revealed carotid arteries.

Maybe there’s more to it that
I’m missing, but this sounds like the main accomplishment is being able to identify that different tissues are present. Actually getting diagnostic information out of imagining requires more detail, and I’m not sure how much this could provide.
During my several decades I would say polarization and tribalism has been a mainstay of American discourse. Think of “communist” as an all-purpose slur in the 50s, the Vietnam and establishment vs. counterculture situation in the 60s/70s, some weak anti-Yuppie stuff in the 80s, etc. But I can’t think of any time this bad.

I personally blame not only the algorithms, but the focus of political parties on activating their more extreme constituents rather than on achieving reasonable compromise and effectively governing. It used to be you could have an actual substantive debate, but now at least one side will be either unable or unwilling to participate.

The Republicans in particular got so good at energizing the extreme “base” as an electoral strategy that it seems the whole party leadership was inadvertently replaced by the “base”, which makes it very hard to make progress.
Yup.

It's something that demagogues have known for centuries.

Get people angry, and you can lead them around.

When we are angry or afraid (and, it's my belief that anger is really just a reaction to fear), our thinking becomes "binary." No time to sweat the details. [Fight|Flight] Pick one. We don't become stupid, but our decisions tend to be rash, and ill-considered.

People make bad decisions when they are stressed, especially when angry.

Works a charm, when you are the hate dealer, and you are the one that benefits from the bad decisions of your customers.
> I find it funny and also ironic that a lot of modern languages re-discover Lisp's amazing features decades later.

This is never surprising as Lispy languages are some of the most flexible and expressive languages. But that's the problem, it is too expressive. The Lisps always reminded me of mixed media (visual) art, where the freedom of expression from the mixed media sounds good on the face of it but in the end it generally produces sub-par works compared to more traditional single media art. It turns out that the restrictions of the medium are just as important as the expressiveness.
Amazon, Kroger, Red Bull… brands… have all the capital, buy up supply, add their markups and fees, etc influence supply and demand through price fixing in abstract math games. Meanwhile the public is shackled to nickel and dime, dollars and sense finance and cannot get ahead, they tread water while also doing all the work to prop up the brands.

We need to keep stuff on shelves or people will riot. But we also need to validate the past rulers for some reason by enabling them to monopolize capital. As we cling to Anglo-babble story about risk taking. When tree trimmer was number one most dangerous job in 2023, and the rest are blue collar jobs… police not on the list, fwiw… the rich investor is using story they won for some reason to avoid real risk of trimming a tree.

But Protestant work ethic and so a generational Ponzi scheme to funnel

Nonsense. PURPA was just more regulation, regardless of how it was sold. It had nothing to do with "markets being opened to competition".

One can trace the downfall of nuclear in the US to the end of the New Deal coalition and the divestment of public infrastructure, which meant short-term planning only. It has nothing to do with "markets". Markets in energy don't exist now and did not exist then.
