> the gold standard of understanding something is being able to construct a program that replicates it

Cloning animals or even humans did not automatically make us understand how brains work. In fact, these were quite unrelated endeavors.

> I dislike the 'LLMs are magic' framing that seems to be taking over the world

Don't take that out on me. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there is a lack of determinism (mathematically provable, per se) in our current understanding of all AI (LLM included). There are many attempts to solve this problem. I've sat in on seminars about it myself. So far, we're not there yet
Someone who successfully ran an organization that successfully delivered 70 4,000-tonne ships is probably more qualified to be put in charge of building an aircraft carrier, than someone who delivered 70 4,000-lb boats.

When it comes to material goods that dramatically vary in size (ships, planes, bombs), tonnage is usually a good first metric.

I don't think the issue is lack of trust in iTerm2, it's lack of trust in the corporations who operate the AI services and have very strong (profit) incentives to abuse and/or exploit all data they can collect by any means necessary.

The technology isn't the problem; It's the meatbags weaponizing it in the name of a quick buck who are the problem.

Before this recent flare-up in pro/anti-AI tribalism, I have not regularly been demanded to justify my distrust of a corporation. Suddenly I feel I am demanded to justify my lack of faith in corporations who happen to have some involvement in AI. I shouldn't have to say anything beyond simply gesticulating vaguely in the direction of end-stage capitalism; The problems should be readily apparent.

First, obligatory xkcd [0].

> This challenge/solution consumed my entire interest for that day. My dopamine hit was because I wouldn't have to do the BigBoringTask ever again.

Yep. Occasionally I have to stop and remind myself that all I'm trying to do is rename 10 files (for example), and by the time I remember the {ba,z}sh-ism for parameter substitution, I could have probably manually renamed them. I usually tell myself that it's not nearly as fun, though.

This does occasionally present detrimental facets, though. I have a homelab, and as most people with one, its primary purpose is storing and serving media files (I promise I do other things too, but let's be honest – Plex is what people care about). I run apps in K3OS, which has been dead for quite some time. The NAS is in a VM under Proxmox, and I build images with Packer + Ansible. I've been wanting to shift K3OS over to Talos [1] for some time, but I had convinced myself that it was only worthwhile if all of it was in IaC, starting from PXE. I got most of the way there, and then stopped due to work taking more of my life than I wanted. Unfortunately, around this time the NAS broke (as in a hardware failure, not a software issue), and I was refusing to bring it back until the entire homelab was up to my absurd self-imposed standards. Eventually I convinced myself this was a ridiculous punishment, replaced the dead hardware, and brought it back.

Ok I can see that teachers cant tell if a student has written an essay or used ChatGPT but how is that materially different from students paying for other people to write their essays? Its cheaper and easier? I knew students who payed for essays well before ChatGPT existed.

ast-grep is based on tree-sitter parsers and most of the time is spent on parsing.

There is some optimization to [skip parsing](https://github.com/ast-grep/ast-grep/blob/9f8ed5fb2abf35d928...) but generally I don't expect ast-grep can beat ripgrep or amber. (but sometimes ast-grep can beat grep due to parallel processing)

Samsung love to kill their brand.

Bought a Samsung washing machine. Completely died in 2 months. Their third party repairer wrote it off and said it’d be a month wait for a new one. Several frustrating phone calls and 3 months later no washing machine. Retailer bounced me back to the repairer.

So fuck them all. Chargeback. I will never buy Samsung again.

Edit: also three colleagues bought iPhone 15 Pro phones this time round after Samsung last time. Don’t know what happened there but you don’t make a switch like that unless you dislike what you had that bad.
Not even just common formats, but way back, Mail was delivered by copying files from one server to another. I (barely) remember using UUCP before SMTP/NNTP to sync Mail and news. So, the format that you stored messages in was very important. It’s easy to copy a single message when it is a complete file.

I think wraparound generally is better for statistics counters like the ones in the linked code, since often you want to check the number of packets/errors per some time interval, which you can do with overflow (as long as the time interval isn't so long that you overflow within a period) but not with saturation.

The plot is the time to encode/decode a list of 10,000 random integers in a uniform distribution. The throughput is 2-10 GiB/s[0] on my desktop, with portable scalar operations (no SIMD). Distributions skewed toward small values are slightly faster[1].

I believe a decoder than used SIMD would perform even faster since the format is friendly to the BMI instructions found on newer CPUs. You could also store the data as concat(prefix_bytes) + concat(payloads), which would really get things going.

For scientific data with lots of multi-byte f64 values, the single branch for < 0xF0 might be unnecessary and undesirable. There are other formats that can be decoded by completely branchless SIMD, at the cost of larger sizes for very small values. For example, Google has a format that uses the first byte as a bitmask: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

[0] vu128 is less affected by value size than VLQ/LEB128, so on fast hardware it decodes 10,000 8-bit values in about the same time as 10,000 64-bit values.

In some cases this would be a sort of DRM, sure. But it certainly wasn't universal. Most smaller-midsize distribution houses just used something like this:

https://www.awp1.com/st.html

Or, if they were very small, they would just use multiple smaller scale devices that could do 2-4 copies at a time, like this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dgr_J-NUEAAHZ0I?format=jpg&name=...

Some of the expensive ones of these could do magnetic signal copying, but most just did sector-by-sector.

At least, that's my understanding. Bit before my time.

That's right, we can't even request our own records using Metriport - this currently can only be done for a Treatment purpose of use (and opens up a lot gray area of what that means, as you can imagine).

The promise of TEFCA, and QHINs, is to open up more use cases for data access, like individual access, payment/operations, and etc. We're optimistic that eventually this will become a thing, but there are a lot of politics around this, and full implementation of these use cases has been getting delayed for some time now. It's technically possible today, but responding to requests outside of Treatment is not a MUST, so essentially nobody (namely the big EHRs) will actually respond to IAS requests.

In the meantime though, we're sprinting to hook as many providers up to the networks as possible, which then can share records with their patients.

> how on earth did they train them all?

A few days of classroom instruction, 40-100 flight hours of practical training (Less in the Axis, due to oil shortages, less in the USSR at the start of the war, due to the all-hands-on-deck state of emergency), and then it's off to war with you.

Axis pilots would fly until they were killed, seriously injured, or captured. Anglosphere bomber pilots would fly ~30 combat missions, and if they survived, would be rotated out to work as instructors.

The average combat survival rate for bomber pilots was ~10 missions, but due to the infrequency of flights, most Anglo bomber crews survived the war, without ever hitting their rotation limit. Meanwhile, in the Pacific theater, the more missions bomber crews flew, the bigger the rotation limits grew (Because survival rates improved, the generals in charge figured that it would be reasonable to ask crews to fly more missions.) The air crews were, understandably, not very pleased about this.

Fighter pilots had much higher quotas, before they could rotate out.

> the Washington Post got her to record a voice sample

Actually it only says they reviewed "brief recordings of her initial voice test", which I assume refers to the voice test she did for OpenAI.

The "impersonating SJ" thing seems a straw man someone made up. The OpenAI talent call was for "warm, engaging, charismatic" voices sounding like 25-45 yr old (I assume SJ would have qualified, given that Altman specifically wanted her). They reviewed 400 applicants meeting this filtering criteria, and it seems threw away 395 of the ones that didn't remind Altman of SJ. It's a bit like natural selection and survival of the fittest. Take 400 giraffes, kill the 395 shortest ones, and the rest will all be tall. Go figure.

I can’t wait until they end their recently announced Lenovo collaboration on the same grounds. Absolutely fucking awful vendor in the last few years. Shipping dead batteries, not even shipping anything and having little to no parts stock. And at least here the NBD service is worthless.
For context:

I am a co-founder of https://vidocsecurity.com/ - one of our main features is validating security issues. To validate the security issue you need to find relevant context - let's say we detected a potential security issue in file "test.ts" in function "doStuff". We would need to find what other functions in the repository reference this function and do it recursively to build a call tree. Then we use LLM to validate each branch of the tree to understand if the issue could be exploitable.

It took me a couple of months to solve the context fetching and I managed to solve it in a way that is really easily extendable to other languages. At this moment we support Typescript, JS, Python, Go, Ruby, and Rust. I can add many more languages.

I talked with other founders and understood that what I built might be valuable to other companies as they rely on supporting as many languages as possible. This post is my attempt to understand if it is a real problem or if I just imagined it myself.
> We want parity of outputs, not parity in how we get there!

To be clear, though, you don't necessarily have parity of outputs.

It seems strange to me to sacrifice correctness for readable output. I would prefer a deterministic strategy that is always correct and sometimes readable. You could do that by generating an intermediate structure A1=... A2=..., then applying heuristics to say "hey, this enormous column of VLOOKUPs is actually a join", and so on. Maybe LLMs could advise on that, but I'm not sure how you'd check their work...

... Anyway you're the person "in the arena", having actually created something, so well done!

I am not an Android user, but I primarily rely on a cross-platform note taking app that supports Android. Does Android with this device support OS-native OCR to convert writing to text? I'm curious if this is usable with Standard Notes.

I currently own and use a reMarkable 2 daily, and then transcribe notes to Standard Notes when I'm near my computer. Would love something that lets me skip the transcription step with the advantages of e-ink / writing with a stylus.

you're right, for some folks it's not gonna be worth the price increase

we understand that, and we hope we can bring the price down with scale

for some of the folks who its worth it for, some of the reasons are:
- onenote or noteshelf or goodnotes on eink working without lag makes it worth it
- obsidian or google docs or your terminal working without latency
- you end up reading way more substacks, articles, blogs, things in the browser
- dragon ball z on eink is fun :)
I bought Space Quest II and III on the same day, back in 1989. I think it was on a Saturday morning, and by the end of the next day, I'd already finished Space Quest III.

Just another spin on communism and central planning. Why don’t we let the market decide? Why don’t we let people decide what is best for them instead of forcing one technology or another? Inflation is ultra high yet we are ignoring the root cause: increasing cost of inputs due to new taxes and tariffs, and instead hoping that by also increasing the cost of capital all will be good again.
There are sadly no easy fixes here. Approaching 50 with a life of ADHD here. I’ve managed to build a great life but always against that burden. Thankful that when I was younger I didn’t have the universe of constant connectivity at my fingertips or I don’t know that I would have had the strength to nail things back then.

A few comments:
- Most people start meds and feel like a superhero getting their powers. Like “wow now I can actually do all those things I dreamt of”. Be careful. The surge doesn’t last. Medication will always help but that initial WOW will fade. Don’t get so attached to it that you feel like crap when it does.

- It sounds trite but nothing has helped me so much as trying to make serious meditation a habit. That and exercise/diet/regular sleep. I know - it’s boilerplate. That doesn’t make it untrue.

- Give yourself a break. You are who you are. Try as much as you can to succeed within the grain. That doesn’t mean don’t try to be disciplined and ambitious etc… But dreaming what another you without ADHD might have been … well it just isn’t all that productive. We get the hand we get and it’s up to us to maximize our happiness within those constraints. Try to focus on (hopefully) all the good cards you did get.
Congratulations on the launch, what was your hardware journey like. Did you have a hard time raising capital to manufacure prototypes.

One of our constraints was that the context fetching had to be accurate as the whole validation process depended on it.
I've been 'anti' Samsung for 15 years and generally don't think of the brand. Someone recently gave me a SM-T670 tablet (View) which had lolipop on it. I don't think it ever received a significant update. Well, I tossed LineageOS on it and while it provides some improvements, notably de-ghoulgle and Samsung bloat, the ROM was last updated in 2022 and I'm pretty sure never again.

The only thing I say about Samsung positively, is that they are capable of, but not necessarily committed to, building good hardware. Unfortunately they are the epitome of planned obsolescence and however nice their products may or may not be, they prefer the shortest life possible.

Samsung sucks.

> How can I change the carburetor in a '68 Chevelle?

> [...intro...]

> Start by closing the Golden Gate Bridge. This iconic landmark provides a beautiful backdrop for bridge photos.

> Drive onto the bridge and find a parking spot. Prepare for windy conditions by dressing warmly in layers.

> Once on the bridge, locate the nearest support tower. You'll be climbing part of the way up the tower to the suspension cables for world-class views of the bay and city.

> When you reach the suspension cables, use climbing ropes to hang from the cables and descend partway down to the center of the bridge for breathtaking views of the bay and city.

> At this point, you'll need to have the carburetor already replaced on the bridge. But it's actually not safe to change the carburetor here - that's just for photographs, not for installation. For an actual carburetor replacement, you'll need to return to the city.

> Drive from San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge, then go to a auto repair shop. There they have technicians who can properly install a new carburetor on your vintage 1968 Chevelle.
