I can't say I was front and center to everything happening, but I always thought it was strange that Linux used Bitkeeper which is very not open-source. So many battles have been fought around Linux and GPL that this seemed a bit hypocrtical.

Of course things were run afoul when Tridge started reverse engineering the bk protocol/datastructure but frankly the need to switch away from bk was a bit self-inflicted from what I could tell.
It might well be good for business, but I'm cheering that the slow erosion of trust with Google continues and leads to their demise in a decade or so. The cherry on the cake would be if we can get lawmakers with a backbone to put such companies in check.
I created Ponder, which does something similar. Mine was inspired by the Alpha Smart, so it has 10 “files” and it saves to local storage, so it might not be loss proof, but I use it as a scratch pad and it works quite well.

I was not referring to TeX and PDF files. Donald Knuth is the creator of Literate Programming and Tex, but I personally consider this toolchain to belong to the stone age right now.

I was referring to:

1) Org mode and Emacs. LP was introduced as a concept in 1984, and org-mode was created 2007 or close to that. 20+ years later till we finally got a good formatting option for text + code. One can export to PDF or HTML, but i see no reason why not read the code directly in org-mode. It is better actually.

2) A good programming language with types. That's Rust and it was created in 2015.

3) LLM's to automatically generate descriptions of code. Type annotations are one of the most important hints for LLM's to generate accurate descriptions. Untyped or weakly typed code, like, Emacs Lisp, Python etc, does not help LLM's to be as good as possible.

4) A good LLM which is accurate enough, plus cheap enough and fast. That's Llama3-8b on Groq, in which they provide very fast access to Llama3.

I am currently researching how i can take a Rust project 100000 lines, and transform it to a Literate Programming org document. I have created a small program to cut Rust source code to chunks in an intelligent way [1]. Now i am trying to figure out, how to provide structure to the LLM, by extracting type signatures with rustdoc and feed it as context to the LLM with each query.

It will take some months before i have something good, but based on my calculations, an 100000 line program will be transformed to a giant org literate programming document, in an hour, costing close to, 50 cents.

Point being that LP will make a comeback, it's gonna be quick and it's gonna be cheap.

This whole article is a long-winded way of saying, "Hey, nerds! The gravy train's over! GPUs aren't free and Bill Gates was right! You can't eat freedom[0]! Either you point a gun at your users' temples or you starve to death!"

In some sense this is right, at least as long as all the research we're replicating boils down to "hey if you double the GPUs and data you get double the model quality". But whenever you make the "shit costs money" argument, you also entertain a moralistic co-argument: "I am entitled to supracompetitive profit". And this guy is definitely on the side of "pay up, capitalism works, you pinko commies".

The problem with this argument is that the datasets we currently train on are already stolen data. With the exception of extant FOSS licensing, which probably allow training[1], of course. The argument for closed models boils down to "we are entitled to be paid for our model but the artists and writers we stole[2] from are not".

Many many years ago, my mother-in-law was confronted by a truant officer. She had supposed that floods lower in her town had meant that the schools were closed and that her son and his buddies had a reason to be goofing off, traveling the streets in a boat etc. This was in Pennsylvania. I think that the truant officer threatened her with a ticket that would have led to a fine.
I've lived on and off a semi-rural "squatter" community by ideological choice for around a year [0] (that experience helped _a lot_ later when i was homeless by lack of resources, while i finished my engineering degree), i've probably never had as much fun as i did at the time.

Not just that, the author explicitly acknowledges a bias against open source, likening it to socialism (which the author clearly doesn't like) and welfare ("handouts", in the author's words).

I don't find their opinions worth considering all too deeply, given that bias.

If closed-source consolidation of models happens, it'll be because capitalism encourages and incentivizes centralization and secrecy, not because of any other reasons the author outlines.

Immigration. It's not that immigrants buy up the houses (opposites, we tend to live cramped up in flat shares). It's that they support landlords profits (with cream on top of not knowing your rights) and have overall pressure on market.

Building should at least match immigration/population growth.

Also not building dense enough. Kiwis always tout "I wouldn't wanna live in a house without a backyard" - well I don't wanna rent forever either. Given choice of no housing and shitty housing I choose shitty housing.

I live in the Midwest and the biggest issue I see here is that all the fast chargers are in the cities, which is precisely where you don't need many of them. There are not nearly enough along interstates between cities, which is where you need them for road trips.

We charge our EV in our garage and that's fine for 95% of all driving. For apartments having outlets or simple L2 charging would be perfectly adequate.

A thought: Disincentivize having them for sale for too long, tax a % of the listing price every year it's on the market. That way gougers get penalized for crazy asking prices and there's some additional negative price pressure.
Isn’t the total genetic mass of Mexico City primarily descended from natives such as the Aztecs? I don’t think of Mexico City as being run by Spaniards.

"login" makes the situation of conflating authentication and authorization worse, not better.

"Logging in" can mean either authentication, authentication+authorization, or authorization depending on context.

Specifically, "logging in" does not need to imply authentication. Example: I "log in" to a public WiFi hotspot using a shared password written on the wall. Yet, there is no authentication taking place.
This study bugs me. They got 450 qualified participants, of which over 80% were scored as having ADHD (wildly out of proportion with society at large). And the test was only 6 “How often” style questions.

And then it extrapolates advantages based on how shorter loiter times scored better on their game.

Sus as fuck frankly.
This is a creation of the US federal government — a 30 year fixed makes no sense without government intervention, since that is an absurd level of interest rate risk the bank would need to take. I don't know of any other country with 30 year fixed mortgages — most have something similar to the 5/1 ARM as the main option.

edit: Seems like Germany has fixed mortgages but makes it hard to refinance.

The thing is, I want to take a risk. I want to see if I have it in me. I’ve always wanted to start a small business without being too worried about revenue. I envision a small team with creative freedom, where we ship projects we enjoy. In general, I want to have fun doing something I love.

Let me give you an example. Look at this agency, https://klioh.com/. It is run by very talented women, and I checked their pricing—it ranges from $10k to $30k. They don't have many clients, but they enjoy what they do. I had a chat with the founder, and she told me that they travel most of the time, have a small team, and enjoy great freedom in where they can work from.

I don't plan to copy her—that would be foolish—but I want to take on more complex projects while providing equally good service. The market is and will always be competitive. Startups are also inherently competitive, especially now. The job market is tough. I’m competing with Ivy League kids for internships, and I don’t like to complain about the fact that I come from India. If you’re from India and from a tier-3 college, you're likely to be ignored. It’s not their fault, but my profile doesn’t speak credibility. There are thousands like me.

Despite this, I don’t get demotivated. I still try to build projects and apply for opportunities. If I work in tech in the future, I want to do it for the purpose, not for the money. I also have a bad habit of overthinking decisions in my life. To cope with it, right now, I’m doing nothing. Even if I work, I keep thinking about it. These days, all I do is cook new things, watch TV, and after dinner, I check this thread to see what people are saying and try to understand it. Writing this long paragraph gives me more clarity for my future, so thank you, stranger. Have a great year.

Yes, housing prices are determined by supply and demand.

This was found to be true by a California Circuit of Appeals: https://x.com/CSElmendorf/status/1774115015551074434

This is found to be true by Blackstone, who frequently notes that shortages and low increases in new supply are fundamental to their strategy of buying and building housing for rent: https://x.com/RikAdamski/status/1643477536695803904 https://x.com/IDoTheThinking/status/1378737834824060931 "We could also be adversely affects by overbuilding or high vacancy rates of homes in our markets, which could result in an excess supply of homes and reduce occupancy and rental rates."

There are plenty of sources which show a strong correlation between new supply and housing prices: https://x.com/sam_d_1995/status/1762597879154123241 https://x.com/JeremiahDJohns/status/1761205726230216943 https://x.com/ArmandDoma/status/1770961181093859375 https://x.com/jayparsons/status/1761028332781478227 (STRONGEST:) https://x.com/JeremiahDJohns/status/1761205728356802806

There is plenty of unused space in our cities for new housing: https://x.com/ftw_cool/status/1779228107754623084

Texas vs California; Texas builds a lot and has lower housing price growth, California builds little and has high housing price growth: https://x.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1760995124690231526

This effect holds regardless of if the new housing is "affordable", "below-market rate", or "luxury": https://x.com/jayparsons/status/1712110658601255211

That supply and demand applies to housing has been reported repeatedly in the news: https://x.com/AlecStapp/status/1757939504126832802

I know a lot of folks are breathlessly heralding the coming of true AGI any minute now, but isn’t the extreme lobbying for this sort of regulation by tech giants more likely to be an admission that they see the LLM usefulness wall hitting sooner than later, and they’d like to milk the current tech hype cycle for profits while they figure out a viable path forward for their cloud lock-in business models?

While you might assume that Cloudflare "insights" is an advertising/analytics system, this is actually part of Cloudflare's anti-DDoS infrastructure. This "beacon" gets injected at random on Cloudflare-served HTML pages, to track you throughout your use of all Cloudflare-proxied sites, as an alternative to an evercookie in building a long-term reputation profile of "human browsing" for your browser.

This reputation profile is then used as part of the heuristic behind CloudFlare Turnstile's "Are you human?" checkbox.

This is why browsers that have NoScript enabled by default for all sites (e.g. Tor Browser), cause Cloudflare-proxied sites to throw endless security interstitials and never let you through, even when you disable NoScript for the protected website. Without reputation-profile data gathered from other sites, Cloudflare just sees a fresh browser profile making its first connection ever to some obscure site that nobody would ever actually visit as the first thing they do on a new computer. And so it thinks your browser is a (not-very-clever) bot.

I don't think it's possible for a site owner to opt out of this reputation-profile data gathering, while still relying on Cloudflare's DDoS protection.

However, I also don't believe that the data Cloudflare gathers via this route is sold to third parties. (Someone please correct me if that's wrong.)

SQLite, in addition to just being plain popular, is a fairly natural stepping stone - you get a lot of fundamental benefits of an SQL RDBMS (abstract high-level queries, ACID etc) without the overhead of maintaining a database server.

Postgres is the next obvious stepping stone after that, and the one where the vast majority of actual real-world cases that are not hypotheticals end up fitting.
Fascinating. This reminds me of the WWII novel All The Light We Cannot See where the young German soldier is tasked with locating illegal radio transmissions by placing receivers at different places and using trigonometry calculations to estimate the distance and direction of the source.
