I didn't know about IPv6rs, but thanks for supporting raw WireGuard configs[1]! Being able to use just WireGuard without having to install any additional daemons or wrappers is always appreciated.

If only I had known about this service before AWS launched its eu-south-2 region (Spain), I would have seriously considered it. But unfortunately I already have my stuff all setup and working, tunneling through an EC2 instance.

Still, bookmarked. I won't say I'll be using it in the future, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for the next time I need to change/update my homeserver stuff.

Oh don’t worry, you can also protest. Just make sure to get a permit first and don’t obstruct traffic too much and when the police show up, which they will, disperse peacefully immediately. Just make sure your protest is completely ignorable.
Nonetheless, Nix/NixOS is more reproducible than the majority of other build systems and distros out of the box. But yes, if this is a hard requirement, you’ll be better off with a different choice.

Keep in mind that this is but one of the features NixOS provides. I would say the config-driven approach to OS management is extremely powerful.

As an example, I could bring up my homelab’s external reverse proxy on a generic VPS in a few minutes over SSH using a single command. This includes SSH keys, Telegraf, Nginx with LetsEncrypt certs, and automatic OS upgrades. No Ansible needed :)

Hiring managers are usually dumb.

Interviews at most tech companies are broken.

They are run by developers who are usually poor communicators which means they cannot tell you what they are looking for etc.

What you are trying to do will not help you at all.

At 11 years of experience if you are not getting direct invitations to join teams without interviews you have done the biggest mistake so far: you haven't created a network.

Your goal should be very simple. Make a list of director of engineering from top companies, see if they have a GitHub, check if they have a open source project and then contribute to that.

All you need in your GitHub is a hyped up version of your skills.

Do not do interviews, that is key.

While I am aware that nothing is permanent and everything takes maintenance, I sure feel
like there ought to be a bit _more_ permanent way to publish things.

I run a few daily word games. They're static sites that could continue forever as long as they have players, but sometimes I think about what would happen if I died or stopped paying attention. Domains would expire. Maybe some people could still play cached versions, and archive site versions would still exist.

I host them on github pages so if I exposed that url then that could probably exist for as long as github does - or breaks something that requires the owner to click a button to fix or something.

I could probably publish a free desktop version on various stores, and that might last as long as the store, or OS upgrades break it.

It would be great if there was a way to publish something such that it exists as long as anyone cares about it.
Good for you.

But your post would attract way more attention if you give some interesting details about the course itself, the process behind it and motivations.

Otherwise it looks like a cold spam.
Don't get me wrong, I love reading and watching sci-fi! And actually, that's a great source of inspiration to keep my mind sharp; a superintelligence unleashed on our world today, with pathetically insecure networked listening devices in all of our pockets, a populace demonstrably manipulable through social media, etc; humanity has nothing but literal prayer to protect itself from actual superintelligence. Which isn't an actual defense, but hope feels nice.

Let's be clear: what we have today is LLMs. Not superintelligence. When people drool over the promise of superintelligence, to the exclusion of curiosity about the problems we intelligent humans can solve, they've bought into a thought-terminating utopian fantasy. That's a dead brain, that will not help humanity progress. Zombies.

Superintelligence, should it ever arise, is my enemy. The disdain that I have for its adherents is born of self-preservation.

edit to add clarity regarding my admonition to experience "the world": whoever receives all of their knowledge from computer sources is readily replaced by an automaton with access to the same. Those of us who are curious about the world around us are capable of making observations yet to be recorded in electronic form. Be curious, my friend, or succumb to zombiehood.

Building a cross-platform GUI toolkit takes an incredible amount of work & time, especially at the systems level.[0]

A robust cross-platform ecosystem for the underlying programming language is a necessary but insufficient piece of the puzzle.

Given the proliferation of HTML and WebView/web-tech wrappers (Electron, Tauri, React Native etc.) there are now enough "good enough" solutions that most organizations that would underwrite the in-house R&D of a new Neuron Data or Delphi or Flash simply don't feel the need.

When it does happen — say Google Flutter — it's almost statistically impossible to keep the hydra of VPs and biz folks aligned over the decades of ongoing investment it takes to mature & form community around this kind of technology — see the recent Flutter team layoffs at Google.

You can pretend the identity function is a derivative that is no different from other kinds of derivatives, and has no logical difference.

A judge and jury are going to laugh in your face.

An exact copy is completely different than “produced new code based on everything it’s seen”. You can try your “it’s just an identity function derivative” if you want, but… judges and juries aren’t idiots. They know that a copy is a copy. You’re not going to pull the wool over their eyes

Depends on what you mean by learn... And what other relevant background one has outside of CS - programming/math/stats/systems/engineering. Assuming one has a few years of that, and one want to get to the level of being able to apply this to a problem that comes up in a realistic setting (making a product etc). Maybe extreme dedication over many months, or a few years at 20 hours a week? This is assuming that one either is very good at studying alone, or have access to people one can ask alone the way.

If one has no relevant background, then I would 5+ years of full time study.

Some apps have much more effort than that one, but that hasn't changed their performance.

No, supply in this case is the number of units available for rent, units being rented are unavailable on the market. Same as real estate market, when they talk about housing supply they don't count houses that are already sold.

Most clasic graffiti to me look like trash left on the street, it doesn't convey the 'taking back of public space'. I like some graffiti concepts like in Berlin where ppl pay some artists to paint something over their building or some cool looking art on walls even when it's illegal/not approved (but would like to just go the approval way, or push for adding laws for such cases). But in the case of those random words/letters that maybe do have a meaning for some ppl - those are perceived by a lot of ppl just like trash, not a counterculture. Related to billboards- there are many places where cities do have a design code that basically forbids most of billboard types, esp in city center and it's not like you can't create your own party to push for this idea. If you don't gain votes, that means ppl are ok with billboards
>The argument that this is 90% of what matters in ML seems a bit bold. AFAICT it is completely missing reinforcement learning,

Show HN: A Better LLM UI in Emacs
All LLM user interfaces I've seen so far are somewhat frustrating:

* ChatGPT web requires a lot of copy-paste, it rewrites whole document even if you need to update a part of it, etc.
* Github Copilot completions are rather unreliable and do not leave an option to specify what you want; Copilot's chat sidebar is little more than ChatGPT integrated into the IDE
* Google Docs have right UI for non-code text, but they use really dumb model (not Gemini 1.5 Pro). Also won't work for code.

So... I wrote a Emacs Lisp function which calls LLM with contents of the buffer to generate text according to the (optional) user's command. It can both insert new text and update selected text.

In my twitter post I have two videos demonstrating the usage: https://x.com/killerstorm/status/1791840684208463940

I haven't been using Emacs for 10+ years (IntelliJ offers better ergonomics for Kotlin and TS), but it does seem like the easiest platform for this kind of stuff.

Took me about 4 hours to implement this, largely because I knew almost nothing about Emacs Lisp, my Common Lisp is rusty (I've used it professionally 10+ years ago) and I decided to use CL server as a proxy for the LLM API. It's likely unnecessary, and it might be possible to achieve the same in pure Emacs Lisp. But I wanted to use more advanced prompting down the line (e.g. feed it adjacent files, chained prompts, etc) and for me it would be a lot easier to do it in CL.

Regarding LLM models, OpenRouter offers quite a wide selection and they are easy to switch, so I tried >10 of them. I've got best results with google/gemini-flash-1.5 and openai/gpt-4o. Video demo uses Gemini. GPT-4o seems to be just as fast, and it handles formatting in a cleaner way (i.e. it keeps track of whitespace), also probably a bit smarter. Clause 3 Opus is a good model but it's slow.

Llama 3 70B Instruct is fast but you lose some intelligence.

Most other models, including 8B Llama 3 Instruct did not understand the prompt... It can be simplified, sure, but do I really want to use a model which cannot understand "You should return the text to be insert in between `before` and `after`?" I tried simpler prompts (i.e. without JSON), and they just struggle with understanding what they need to return. Pretty funny that people said that "mistralai/mixtral-8x7b-instruct" is "almost GPT-4", but it cannot even...

Anyway, here's code which you might try at home: https://gist.github.com/killerstorm/0fddba22d778c871452213b1...

CL server can trivially be replaced with Python.

There's other religious calendars in use.

None of them (including the secular "metric" ones) make much sense without further context.

You want to measure the seasons for planting? that's not the same thing as "where are we in the annual orbit", but there's a relationship. cf "easter".

see also why land speed is measured differently than speed on water or in air. Though it looks, superficially, like you're measuring the same quantity, its actually more complicated than that.

Finally, when the aliens land and we compare calendars, the biggest surprise will be the holiday celebrating Emperor Norton, which appears on all the greater Galactic event lists but is barely remembered here on his home world.

Yes, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is great! (and it is referenced in the paper)

A quote from it: "Other compatibilists show less concern in rebutting the conclusion that the freedom to do otherwise is incompatible with determinism. Compatibilists of this stripe reject the idea that such freedom is necessary for meaningful forms of free will (e.g., Frankfurt 1969, 1971; Watson 1975, Dennett 1984)—the “varieties of free will worth wanting,” (Dennett 1984). And even more notably, some compatibilists simply deny that freedom of this sort is in any way connected to morally responsible agency (e.g., Fischer 1994, Fischer & Ravizza 1998, Scanlon 1998, Wallace 1994, Sartorio 2016)."

This is the position of the paper above essentially. It references Dennett. The kind of freedom that matters, and that ppl are talking about in everyday life, is not the type of freedom incompatibilists reject. It still makes sense to talk about freedom, as in "freedom of opinion" etc, even if agents could not have chosen differently.

The paper explains this position from the perspective of reinforcement learning, and also gives a theory for why it is beneficial for intelligent agents to model themselves as being able to have chosen differently even if they actually could not.
