To elaborate on the other comment -

It doesn't even need to sound like the person. It's about the intent. Did OpenAI intend to imitate ScarJo.

Half the people of the world thinking it's ScarJo is strong evidence that it's not an accident.

Given that "Her" is Sam's favorite movie, and that he cryptically tweeted "her" the day it launched, and that he reached out to ScarJo to do the voice, and that the company reached out to her again to reconsider two days before the launch -

I personally think the situation is very obvious. I understand that some people strongly disagree - but then there are some people who think the Earth is flat. So.

It's the application of the titular "doge meme" to a message expressing grief. The history behind it is the history of the doge meme itself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_(meme)

The reply comment "wow" is also part of the doge meme, and the two comments together form another kind of a meta-meme, where one person writes an unfinished, but straightforward reference to something, and the reply commenter completes that - a traditional "call and response", also very popular in songs.

> using library A which uses say libuv, and one that uses libevent (two different event loops)

It's not ideal, but I don't see a reason this wouldn't work if you ran the two event loops on separate threads

> forking while holding locks

Yes. You can't use fork in a multi-threaded program, unless it is followed by an exec. Which is one reason forking is somewhat rare in modern code.

> two libraries using two different thread pools -- concurrency policy is a global concern.

That doesn't break the semantics of the program.

> create a Waiter object that wraps waitpid(), and only code that has a reference to the waiter can do anything with processes.

This doesn't help if you use a library that calls waitpid directly.

This is actually probably more of a problem in non-c code, where the standard library likely to have an abstraction that calls waitpid on child processes. So handling SIGCHLD can interfere with other code waiting for a child to finish.
The buzz is because it is really one of a most widely used new AI things, easily applicable to millions of businesses. Everyone has some large storage of unstructured data they want to search through and ask questions about - legal docs, candidates, books, articles.. At the same time it’s relatively straightforward to implement so it’s already tens or hundreds of startups / products pushing RAG agenda (all these “it seems easy but it’s not!”). Hopefully soon it will be added as a built in LLM feature - ability to upload own data for LLM to use. It also made many more developers aware of embeddings and vector search, which is great.
It does. Recently migrated a project from a tile server to PMTiles, and now tile generation is just part of CI in the kart repo where the shapefiles are edited. CI passes and uploads the pmtiles file to the web server. Completely eliminated the tile server altogether.
the system for evaluating whether new evidence is "new evidence" already exists and is not what is being claimed here. read more into the facts and proceedures of the legal system please.

As others have pointed out, our fond memories of the Old Internet being "democratic" may be a little off.

But. I think it's fair to say it felt more free, it had a high barrier of technical entry, which filtered out most of the public, and there was no craven race to monetize and enshitify absolutely every single of our interactions.

Mostly because corporations were in the process of figuring out how to do all that with this new Internet thing.

From a first principles approach: it does not really make sense to use an LLM to do fundamental analysis directly. Maybe you can use an LLM to write some python code to do fundamental analysis. But skipping that model building step and just applying a language model to numbers does not make intuitive sense to me.

I am surprised at the results in the paper. The biggest red flag is that the researcher are not sure why there is predictive ability in LLMs. Maybe they didn't control for some lookahead bias.
I know not everyone loves the syntax, but that would be relatively easy with Powershell, or than plain .NET.
Very cool, I didn't realize this was a thing. I've actually had the same idea, of having a pole over the tub to hang wet clothes on with a heat pump to blow warm air over them. Even if you don't mind how energy-wasteful tumble-dryers are, the amount of damage they do to your clothes is just astonishing. Every time you clean out your lint trap, you're collecting the shreds that have been torn off your clothes by the dryer. It just feels terrible.

> Genius level intellects like von Neumann or Einstein are such massive force multipliers

The Ubermensch model of innovation is not how reality actually works.

Einstein was able to do what he did because he was born in a middle class Swiss family. If he was born in rural Ukraine, Poland, or Belarus (like most Ashkenazi like him were at the time) he'd have died either from child mortality or a pogrom like in Odessa 1881.

Who knows how many Einstein or von Neumanns have existed because they were not given the opportunity to reach their maximum potential.

This cannot be resolved by eugenics anyhow.

These people are claiming emotional territory that doesn't belong to them. Usually, they have precalculated that they can "get away" with it, which means they see you as weak.

Three options:

- Give up, cede the ground, and move on with your life. The less sleep you lose over how unfair it is, the better.

- Confront them head-on. They are ready for a fight, but their position is inherently unreasonable. The less you get dragged into their headspace, the more you "win".

- Come down from above. Bring social proof that they are wrong into their space. In the OP, this would be programmers who mutually respect each other's work, and are productive without nitpicking.

TPU, LPU, and other are custom ASICs already exist. I also assume Nvidia's AI focused offerings have some optimizations that make them better at the usage patterns and avoid spending silicon on the typical graphics rendering pipeline.

My understanding is the biggest issue is keeping the model fed with data, especially during training across multiple GPUs/VMs, which is required for the bigger models.
Good point! It's not just the LOD, it may be also the fact that the parallelization makes GPUs a better fit for subdivision than CPUs, and surely there's a matter of connection bandwith to the GPUs: the vertex coordinates, as well as lots of other vertex-specific data, needs only to be sent for the base vertices, the new vertices get their new values from interpolating old values, and the textures like displacement map control the difference from interpolated value to desired value. Of course a texture would have been just some weird compromise of resolution of the sent data, except you don't have to provide a texture for every attribute, and more importantly, such a texture might be static (e.g. if encoded in normal space it may work throughout an animation of an object).
That just shifts the problem around: if there's a bug or mistake in the smart contract itself, then you face the problem that you can't reverse that smart contract.
You seem to be assuming that the AI industry will know which models might capable enough (good enough at reality) to take over the world and which models cannot be dangerous and consequently can safely be assigned coding tasks by many various members of the public.

Clearly, ChatGPT is not "locked down via literally verified APIs", but rather ChatGPT gets to write code that goes on to get executed on thousands of different computers. We know now that ChatGPT is not capable of taking over the world (because if it were so capable, it would have done so already) but how would anyone, even the experts that built ("grew"?) ChatGPT, have known whether it was dangerously capable before its release to the general public?

How would anyone know that about the results of the next big training run? And the one after that?

This is what I think about most when looking at languages. “How painful would it be if I implemented the minimum now and wanted to add more capability later?”

Some languages make it very painful to not have a mostly complete design upfront and then you’re trapped adding complexity just in case.

Even if I though VSC was on the same level (I don't) the configuration and plugin management hell alone is worth $173/yr (No, I don't want to hear about how easy you think it is). If you're using it professionally then $173/yr is nothing, hell, I'd probably pay $300/yr and not gripe because again, I get so much value out of these tools.

That's just revisionism though. The PLA had a lot of Christian Palestinians. It's just that as the conflict got more viscious, groups like Hamas started emerging and basing themselves on religion. Even then, Hamas isn't Al Qaeda. Its core is still based on Palestinian nationalism.

Israel also has tons and tons religious extremism but it wouldn't be fair to say that Israel fights for religious reasons. It just comes down to an extreme and probably unsolvable fixation on the land from both sides.

The objective is not to heat the room, the goal is just to keep the air warm enough and dry enough that evaporation can occur in a timely enough fashion that your clothes don't get musty.

Furthermore, with a standard tumble dryer, you're definitely not just heating a small space. Go look at the outside of your house where your dryer exhaust is and look at all the hot air that it's constantly spewing outside. All that energy is just being wasted.

What is this latter? Is it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation#Cardano's_formu... ?
30 minutes? Definitely not.

More than once per day? It's complicated. There are two designs:

- Electrostatic masks work well so long as the mask remains charged (those are the 3M N95 ones). Efficiency drops as they become moist, especially. However, for good ones, even after extended use, it's still surprisingly high.

- Nano masks basically work forever. The initial efficiency is lower than electrostatic, but remains pretty good for longer than I'd want to use one.

For real-world use, I really prefer nano. Unless you're much more careful than I am, enough air leaks around the mask that I'm not sure there's a big difference between 99%, 95%, or even 80% filtration.

And the numbers are extremely conservative too -- they look at filtration around a few hundred nanometers, which is the worst-case. Most diseases come in on much larger droplets.

One thing which tends to be under-emphasized is that it's not binary. Viral load is important. A single virus particle probably won't cause an infection (it probably won't infect a cell, and if it does, your innate immune system will probably flush it). If it does cause an infection, your adaptive immune system has a lot of time to react, so it probably won't be a bad one.

This is even more true for pollution and allergens.

For my purposes, I find nano masks to be the right bang-for-the-buck. They're much more breathable too. And they handle environmentals like rain or sweat better.

The Asians are right; living in a big city, I've felt better since 2020, with masks, air quality monitors, and HEPA filters everywhere. I get sick less often, have milder seasonal allergies, and just generally do better.

On a related note, other aspects of air quality matter too: CO2 levels, humidity, etc.

I have one of these in my home (in Tokyo). Honestly... they kind of suck. The lint from your clothes clogs your drains and vents even faster than normal (you're supposed to use a plastic slab cover thing over your bath, which requires a lot of maintenance or it gets gross very quickly). It renders your shower unusable for hours at time, so if you live with other people it makes coordination of laundry/showers much more complex. Would not recommend. I got a regular washer/dryer combo unit recently and it markedly improved the quality of my life.
