Does jitter compile C at run-time or just stitch it together? (EDIT: looks like stitch at run-time)

The other thing C&P does is allow for a library of stencils and stitch them together intelligently depending on where arguments are coming from, where the return should go, where the flow of control should go next, etc

EDIT: So I guess they look fairly similar, huh
Agreed. In fact, I thought this was an iteration on the previously announced "Devin" project until I realised that they have different spelling.

I mean, perhaps we don't need to say it because they say it explicitly.

Which makes me think that the title about "avoidance of sun exposure" is misleading, even if not deliberately so. "Avoidance" in the general lexicon usually means conscious choices to deliberately not expose yourself to something. Is someone who is, say, obese and bedridden "avoiding" sun exposure?
Sure. This is in every single study using surveys or statistics and yet everyone thinks the paper is making a casual argument. The paper itself actually does do that. So the whole limitations part is just ass covering for the fact that the authors are lying.

Why call it anything else. I mean it's like me writing a long paper proving that thermodynamics is flawed and then ending the paper with some acknowledgement that one of the key arguments has a logical flaw which renders the whole proof incorrect. So then the whole paper is worthless.

No, I mean that I have a handwavy explanation for why you can't put 500 tons of kerosene in a big stretchy bladder inside your rocket, but I'm hoping that someone who knows more about rocket design than I do will comment here.

> My point was that standard ullage motors can and will be used by SpaceX for the transfer. Why do you think this is harder than the fairly standard case of starting an engine in microgravity?

Because the motors have to run for much longer (many minutes instead of a few seconds) and the mass distribution of the docked system is rapidly changing during that entire time.

Have there been any convictions in any of these false cases due to poorly written software? I get being arrested and detained in jail for any length of time is total bullshit. Unless these people cannot post bail after being arraigned, that should be the end of it. Once a defense attorney challenges the case, the DA should be dropping charges. If the DA continues to prosecute, what jury is convicting? So this "going to jail" sounds like it's getting conflated from held until arraignment versus serving time after being found guilty
Hi, I'm the CISO from Anthropic. Thank you for the criticism, any feedback is a gift.

We have laid out in our RSP what we consider the next milestone of significant harms that we're are testing for (what we call ASL-3): https://anthropic.com/responsible-scaling-policy (PDF); this includes bioweapons assessment and cybersecurity.

As someone thinking night and day about security, I think the next major area of concern is going to be offensive (and defensive!) exploitation. It seems to me that within 6-18 months, LLMs will be able to iteratively walk through most open source code and identify vulnerabilities. It will be computationally expensive, though: that level of reasoning requires a large amount of scratch space and attention heads. But it seems very likely, based on everything that I'm seeing. Maybe 85% odds.

There's already the first sparks of this happening published publicly here: https://security.googleblog.com/2023/08/ai-powered-fuzzing-b... just using traditional LLM-augmented fuzzers. (They've since published an update on this work in December.) I know of a few other groups doing significant amounts of investment in this specific area, to try to run faster on the defensive side than any malign nation state might be.

Please check out the RSP, we are very explicit about what harms we consider ASL-3. Drug making and "stuff on the internet" is not at all in our threat model. ASL-3 seems somewhat likely within the next 6-9 months. Maybe 50% odds, by my guess.
Afiak, the purposes are to begin to setup the infrastructure for permanent habitation, and to prepare for a crewed flight to Mars.

This is the always-necessary reminder that credit card chargebacks do not in fact relieve you of the duty to pay for services that you did receive. A chargeback may be necessary to get the merchant's attention, but you do need to be careful to actually pay them the correct amount in the end.

I-95 is north/southbound and existed east of I-99 long before 99 was built.

99 doesn't fit into the numbering scheme at all. The road shouldn't even be a two-digit number; it's not a major trunk route and it's entirely within a single state. It only serves to connect interstates 76 and 80, so it should have been a spur route of one of those.
Even so, you still have to do it. The only alternative is unchecked bullshit, and that is highly corrosive to polite society.

It's basically information guerilla warfare. Lies are cheap and easy to produce, while the facts require investigation and analysis. Lies lead to conspiracy theories which lead to radicalization which lead to destruction of society.
It's funny you should say that, because OP actually tells a more complete version of the story here [0]. Hertz did send them a new bill with a threat to send it to collections if it weren't paid.

Maybe still a win in the end because the incorrect charge was removed, but I get really uncomfortable with how casually people recommend chargebacks on this forum. They're not intended to get you out of charges that the other party can prove you did agree to pay.

Xcode's UI is miles better than the IntelliJ suite, or any other IDE I've used, but functionally it's a decade behind them, especially with Swift. Its autocomplete is extremely basic, its debugger barely works with Swift, and its refactoring system is very limited. It doesn't really support plugins, so the community can no longer patch these holes.

It scales poorly, shitting itself every time you open files larger than a megabyte (DB dumps as JSON hang it).

Xcode 15.3/15.4 shipped a really stupid bug where, when it detects certain changes to the file system, it just deletes the Package.resolved file, breaking your build. So you have to close the project just to do a git pull.

Speaking of closing, its overall launch and opening performance is very poor. Opening old style storyboards can hang the UI for multiple seconds. It abuses the main queue like none other.

Its UI can't handle large scale testing. It even added support for repeated tests in the UI, but viewing the results of thousands of test runs hangs the UI. When I do my manual test repetitions in the millions, I can wait literal minutes for the UI to render the result list. And I have to do those million test runs manually because the support they added for repeating tests in the UI run much more slowly its magnitudes slower.

Its syntax highlighting, like much of its tooling, breaks constantly, and yet is extremely inflexible. It has no customizable formatting capability, nor a Swift formatter or linter built in. It can't format on save, nor does it have any configuration available there.

Did I mention it has no real extensibility? Years ago there was a thriving third party plugin ecosystem, with a plugin manager called Alcatraz. It could manage plugins, snippets, editor themes, and project blueprints, all from within Xcode. Apple killed it by locking down the plugin API it used and replaced it with APIs that are a tenth as capable, barely work, and haven't been touched since.

So what's so terrible about Xcode? It's a death by a thousand paper cuts (and the occasional missing finger).

Genuinely curious if other HN users can share their experiences at Montessori. Considering options for my young son.
My first thought was similar like how incredible it would be to experience it in person.

Second thought was, if we see this in a movie it might come across as your average cgi scene (without any epic music or slow shots) and doesn't standout much.

But now that I know it is real, all these normal videos (compared to movie CGI) somehow makes them better, special and makes me want to be there which doesn't happen with a movie scene.
That is so smart to try it on Github.

None of those look fatal but I think they all differ from the intent of the author. That's why code review is so good. You just need someone to ask "what's 874600?". Turns out: not a thing.

MySQL's issue is a timeout on SSL sessions which is normally 300s. Textmate's is a "friendly" display of the time. Not a showstopper, but probably not what they had in mind. It's so easy to transpose digits. It's great to have someone ask "are you sure?".

He is in the unusual position to have achieved a great level of accomplishment.
I think you're agreeing with me? I'm not gonna wade into the issue in the link, but assuming its premise for purposes of discussion you have misinformation spread in a channel with a huge amount of reach — official government communications during a crisis, and the people trying to fact check it and correct the record failed miserably even with what they believed to be the truth and scientific evidence on their side.
They have/had huge collections of physical manuals too. That brings back memories around the turn of the century when I was in the "bookz" scene, going to the libraries with others and maxing out our library cards to bring home dozens of them for "scanparties". There were huge torrents of car manuals created as a result, and I suspect at least some of our efforts have been preserved in the "pirate libraries" today.
I agree to this. I think VC backed ones just want to make a quick bank...
We don't know all the details of their process, but there are a ton of viable ways to do it using their level of technology, I'm sure they used one of them.

I am biased against anyone who wants to stop me or others from thinking lol. Yes, "peer review" means something. It means that the criteria to get published is that some approved reviewers must accept the results. No more, no less. Anyone can obtain a journal article and form their own opinion about the article and its authors. This includes members of other academic fields, or the general public. Sometimes this outside scrutiny is sorely needed to address problems in the research.

If one has good results and data, their academic pedigree theoretically shouldn't matter when it comes to publication. But we know it doesn't work like that generally. The real world does not live up to our lofty ideals.
It's not a single study, though. There have been many studies showing the same results over the past 30 years.
The reasoning stands entirely on its own. There's nothing you need to "believe". That you don't have a way to disprove it is close enough to proof.

The problem with it is that it's not giving us anything useful.

OK, so maybe this moment is the only one there is? Now what?

Accordingly the only reasonable recourse is for the most part to ignore it, and add an implicit "assuming my memory and senses are roughly trustworthy" to every assumption.

This is the same reason I'm a firm materialist even though we could be in a simulation, or brains in vats: absent evidence of either, the only thing giving us useful information is our senses and our introspection, and so the most useful approach is to assume they are valid until proven otherwise.
The incentives are against good fact checking. There are 3 broad kinds of misinformation:

1) Stuff that just isn't true and is kinda stupid. Flat earth territory (you can literally see the sea curve, c like). Barely worth debunking because nobody who cares about the truth is going to hold on to an opinion like that, but something for fact checkers to do.

2) Stuff that is not true but has powerful interests pushing it. Like war propaganda. The fact checkers are useless because they tend to get either drowned out or co-opted by someone since the players involved are so big they can corrupt things.

3) Hazy stuff that is plausible where the fact checker probably doesn't know what happened either.

So if the fact checker focuses on accuracy they tend to focus on trivialities, on money they tend to get corrupted and on important stuff they will tend to be wrong about a lot of things. There is no winning that game.
No Apple tools generate JPEG XL by default. You can, of course, export as jxl on newer OSes, since it's built in, but it's not a default. iOS devices still use HEIC as the default "new" image format, but convert to regular JPEG when shared with services which don't support it.
> Landlords can already raise prices whenever they want

Not sure how to interpret this response. I said "due to rent control rules". So this applies when rent control rules are in place and landlords cannot raise rents more than rent control allows. If you are in a place that doesn't have rent control, well then it doesn't apply.

> most choose to put in 10% to 40% increase, every single year

I suggest you do the math on this one to see if it possible.

Let's take the middle of your range, 25%. If a landlord raised rents 25% "every single year", a $2K rent would be $15k in just ten years. So, no, no landlord is doing that.

> Federal Government prevents landlords from accessing credit to wait out that downturn

Tell me more about this program where the government gives landlords credit to wait out the downturn? Not familiar with it.

The theorem applies beyond elementary arithmetic to any formal system. If we try to be rigorous in that way with our models of the universe, the theorem would say that no matter how formally sound our models are they will have to be incomplete, incorrect, or non-provable; that is, we would not be able to rule out the existence of consciousness or figurative pink elephants.

(And if they are not formally sound in that way, our models can be safely considered to be incorrect/incomplete simply because they are not formally sound in that way.)
> Bandwidth/Transport costs for live streaming, especially in group conference call scenarios (where N streams needs to be broadcasted to N-1 participants) become prohibitively expensive after about 8 or so participants unless you can offload those bandwidth requirements to other places (e.g., like in a peer-to-peer architecture).

I doubt they send N-1 full resolution streams to each participant. They probably send only the currently focused stream in full resolution, the unfocused streams in low res, and don't stream any of the non-visible participants.

As you change focus between the streams you can sometimes see as it renders the low res stream briefly until the high res stream is received.
Especially given all the negative sentiment in the developer community towards Devin. You would think they would want to distance themselves as much as possible

It's drastically different from Gmail. If Gmail bans you, you can go and get a different email address (and if you're not naive, you already have your own domain name for email even if you use Google for it). And you would be able to send messages from that different address, even to Gmail users; and they would be able to send messages to you.
> I've long thought the only solution to these issues is to levy fines (or jail time if intentional theft) large enough to discourage the behavior. If it is still happening, keep raising the fines until it stops.

We need a corporate death penalty and three strike laws - where three is scaled to the customer base or total monetary damages or whatever. Upon death, any and all assets (including shares of the company, in case of restructuring) go to employee salaries until the company can be wound down.
nice way to see it...and most chilled comment here so far. thanks!
The thing that fascinates me isn't the bandwidth part, it's the fact that every video needs to be (to some extent) transcoded. If nothing else, most videos get encoded at several different bitrates and resolutions.

While I highly doubt Youtube is just plopping the videos into a queue and firing up `ffmpeg -i myvid.mp4 -c:v libx264 -y outvid.mp4` and presumably they some dedicated silicon (or at least FPGAs) handling it, but even still it's incredible how they can pull that off. Video conversion is fairly expensive!

I guess what I'm getting at is that checking bullshit is far less effective than choking it out with the truth. Nobody believes the moon landing happened because they read a fact-checker's piece on the hoax, they believe it because there's so much positive evidence just floating out there that the conspiracy theory can't take hold except in teeny tiny little pockets.
So you can piggy back on the CDNs that do the same until you can afford to do so, with the same performance. This isn’t a privilege only given to those cloud providers, anyone with a checkbook and a pulse can do it.
