My point was that universities, like other corporations, have fixed budgets and additional funding for machine learning resources has to come from somewhere. Talent isn't really the issue. Universities will be using those limited AI resources to develop new technologies they can patent, to attract researchers and students interested in using those resources. There is not currently a deluge of students that want to learn Greek history.
Why does traffic bottleneck on freeways for no apparent reason? (2009)
Protesting the decline of reading
Running Kitty and having stable connections to all my servers means I never needed tmux. That’s the point for me. If you have a stable connection, let it run in a separate tab, window, split—whatever—until it’s finished. Digital life is complex and fragmented enough, so I avoid having to deal with another layer like tmux and call it a day. Keep it simple.
Although ChatGPT is a great product, I rely on it more and more not because it's improving, but because Google results are getting worse.

Yeah I would still fact check for complex, indepth things...but for quick things where I'm knowledgeable enough I can smell the hallucinations from a mile away, ChatGPT 100%.
It most likely comes from Greek, as the first time the Bible would be translated in a language where days had names. Some Greek calendars used the seven day week which seems to originate from the Sumerians, and naturally the day of the Sun would be the choice for the first day in the Greek pantheon.
you might want to give Zellij a try. (https://zellij.dev/) Works like tmux but with the UI friendliness of more modern apps.

Scale and respect for institutions brings order. Anarchists remind me of one of two things, primitive villages trading with other primitive villages for supplies and goods or post apocalyptic tribes people living off a past of greatness until they become primitive villages trading for supplies and goods of other villages. Anyway that type of life is gone. As soon as a country like the USA goes "anarchist" everything falls apart and another country like Russia or China invades and enslaves the population
So what? You have no way to know for sure if the human you ask the same question, does either. The question that started this thread was related to verifiability. And i still think it is a spurious complaint, given that we have exactly the same limitations when dealing with any human agent.
Hmm, no one is talking about the enabler for this - modern wealth. In the not so distant past, refusing to get up and face the world would result in starvation. Survival required people to be more social.

As a parent of two adult children who are both working, I can't imagine enabling this (even though I could.) Sure, if my kids were truly disabled that would be another story, but it seems the hikikomori are just unhappy with the world. Enabling them to spend their lives doomscrolling or playing games is actively harmful.
They are also extremely constrained problem spaces relative to the problem space of LLMs, which is apparently "everything imaginable".
100% correct, 80% correct lol.

The thing is that truth/reality is not a thing that is resolvable. Not even the scientific method has this sort of expectation!

You can imagine getting close to those percentages, with regards to consensus opinion. That's just a question of educating people to respond appropriately.
To make it more clear, it's not typically fatal and many other foods cause higher levels of both sickness and fatalities. To get any number of fatalities you have to expand the timeline like 40 years. I'd consider that basically never.

I've not seen anything claiming TB is a risk even in sources like the CDC and FDA. Maybe it is, but given the small numbers of illness I'd wager it's something localized or that effects people with serious underlying health complications.
OP here: I'm realizing tmux's/screen's remote persistence is a bigger deal for a lot of commenting folks than my dinky little "how do I put my logs on the right and my vim on the left" use case. Color me mildly surprised, I always thought screen splitting / multiple shells in tabs was the reason we were all using these.

To be unambiguous, that's not the "worse is better" I'm talking about. That's straightforwardly better is better.
I wouldn't call what the young people lying flat in china "rich enough". There are stories of people in their 20s and 30s, after college or after layoffs, that they've either got a few thousand dollars saved up or from family. They couldn't find any jobs due to ~70% youth unemployment rate. Or they don't want to work in factories that pays out $2/hour and waste their degree. So they are moving to very remote countryside and renting a room for $50/month, and spending only $.50 a day. Or live off of parents, what's also known as 啃老族 or eat the old.

Remember the previous Chinese premier confirmed there are 700 million people living off less than $100/month a few years ago. so this living of standard is possible for young people. Especially now that there's widespread 50% reduction in wages/cost of living in China.
I have a system where I use a tmux-server config that has a different prefix (^O), status bar color (yellow), and location (top). I use that for my outer tmux session, then start default configs on other host systems. Works pretty well, I don’t have any complaints.

HTML/CSS/JS is less capable than native development. It limits, not expands, what desktop application designs can do.

I’m simply way too greasy of a person to shower at night. I’d rather sleep through the part where it’s built up the most, not waste the first 8 hours of being less greasy when I’m sleeping.

I suppose different genetics in different regions might play into that.
Tmux does the same job as screen.

I didn't want to before, but now in the current year I switched from gnu screen to tmux, keeping the key bindings the same. Ending a 15 year or so streak.

The reason is that tmux supports more modern features like hyperlinks and truecolor, in the distro versions. Once settled, I don't notice a difference.
W3C laid the groundwork for everything on the Web to be heavily cacheable, so it's weird that there are so few general-purpose proxy caches. Are publishers sending short "Cache-Control: max-age" or "Vary: Cookie" responses when they didn't need to? Are too many ISPs paying for transit rather than peering?
Into something probable. The models that underlie these chatbots are usually overfitted, so while they usually don't repeat their training data verbatim, they can.
Exactly. "Worse is better" makes zero sense.
Getting joins wrong once in 1000 queries would beat 99.9% of experienced data analysts.

Our standards for AI are too high.

If an autonomous car causes one wreck per ten million miles, people set the cars on fire.

When someone finds an LLM that suggests eating a small rock every day, that anecdote is used to discredit all LLM results.

This shit makes errors. But what is the alternative? Human analysts who get joins wrong four times in ten? Human drivers who cause wrecks 30 times per ten million miles? Human social media recommendations about nutritional supplements?

Entanglement with China Erodes Germany's Strategic Autonomy
I was particularly baffled by google's deal with reddit. they've spent 60 million (I think) to plug the sewage outlet of the internet directly into their training data
We do have an integration test that runs just before releases. I've never seen it fail, even when something was obviously broken, so I question the utility of it. There's a specific person in charge of maintaining it.

I've opted for option 4: continue to write code the way they want it written and keep cashing my paychecks. In the meantime there are tons of other improvements that I'm working on, some of which have a more direct impact on business revenue (which has a direct impact on my personal revenue).
The problem of other minds is no reason to throw everything out the window. Humans are capable of being conscious of their reasoning processes; token-at-a-time predictive text models wired up as chatbots aren't capable of it. Your choice is between a possibly-mistaken, possibly-lying human, and a 100%-definitely incapable computer program.

You don't know either "for sure", but you don't know that the external world exists "for sure" either. It's an insight-free observation, and shouldn't be the focus of anyone's decision-making.
It's not only a safety net for losing connection. As soon as I connect to a server to do work, I automatically fire screen, and create new terminals and rename them as I work with the system.

If my work is unfinished, I leave the screen as is, and disconnect. We don't touch each others' screen instances on servers, so it's a safe workspace which I can return whenever I want.
that's the part that scares me. I railed on someone's comment the other day about "indexes will come back into fashion" but the more I think about how much garbage has increased in just the past 2 to 3 years, I think I was wrong. Indexes and forums may be the only way to have a sane net where you can find things. Perhaps communities linking together in a ring like format, a "web ring" of sorts.
>It’s all designed to prevent you from sharing screenshots with competitors, relatives, and journalists using Microsoft Edge for Business.

I don’t take screenshots at work to share with any of these people. I take them to share with co-workers for business purposes.

If this is blocked and someone wants to share something with competitors, relatives, or journalists, can’t they just take a picture with their phone or a camera? Then it’s never on equipment the company has control over.

My dad worked at a place that blocked the ability to take screenshots on a company phone. The IT department needed proof he was on a certain release of the OS, and they asked him take a screenshot of his settings. He explained they blocked this feature. They told him to use another phone/camera to take a picture of the screen and send that. He tried to point out how silly it was to lock down screenshots when the work around is so obvious, but that didn’t matter. It was all about the illusion of security, not actually stopping anything.
Has there ever been an authority above the states ?
Several adults in my friendship circle (retired or semi-retired) have evolved to spending nearly their entire waking lives online. They're able socialize normally, but they don't make the time to do that as often as in the past. This is tantamount to hikkormoridom.

One friend went to visit two other friends who live together in New Mexico. He imagined they'd be out and about doing stuff during his visit, but the hosts remained preoccupied by their online activities. The visitor could have stayed home and texted.
> One of the biggest red flags in hiring is when people defer to tenure as a reason for anything technical.

You know what the great thing about years of experience is?

It's usually "I hold this $TECHNICAL opinion because it is the result of careful refinement over 20 years."

In some cases it is "I formed this $TECHNICAL opinion 20 years ago, and haven't come across enough evidence to change my mind"

It is VERY RARELY "I formed this $TECHNICAL opinion 20 years ago and dismissed any evidence to the contrary over the last 20 years, while still managing to retain gainful employment".

TBH, if you are seeing people from the third group often enough to use it as a heuristic, chances are it's a poor (or poorly correlated) heuristic that you haven't yet seen for the poor quality it is.

IOW, you are holding an opinion based on your experience, about others who hold an opinion based on their experience.

Holding on to this opinion might even make you part of that third group I listed above.

Very ironic.
How is fearing the risks associated with technology similar to believing in a cult?

Are people who believe that technology can save their life considered lunatics? Because it can already do so now, to a point, but it's not hard to believe that even old age could potentially be cured in the future, although perhaps not our generation. As far as I know there is no law of physics that would prevent us from being immortals (except perhaps the heat death of the universe or something).

Believing in medicine and its incredibly fast paced progress is believing in something irrational with a "scientific" technological gloss?
Fortran modules are great for developers but a bit of a pain when setting up a build system (even though it’s quite straightforward now, it still requires a first pass with something like makedepf90 or one of its many equivalents). I find it quite a feat that C++ modules, while benefitting from the experience of many languages, ended up so broken.

Also, I never really liked cmake but this looks really bad.
>Soon, you won't be able to take a screenshot using Microsoft Edge for Business for your company says no.

huh
Sure, but how often do you need to touch that config?

Since I keep my configs in a repo, I just checked the last time I changed my `.tmux.conf`. Turns out it was 2018, and I changed a grand total of 2 lines. And I use tmux daily, not just remote, but also on my local machine.

So yeah, if I am using something for more than half a decade without requiring any change, then its pretty safe to say that whatever hassles the configuration of that something imposes, is completely irrelevant.
It's amazing how Congress can be quick and effective when it wants.
Rather ironic, although I don't understand why you would want to drink/legalize raw milk.
I would say nuclear war is unfortunately back on the table again considering the current conflicts going on.
> I am potentially sympathetic to the idea that tmux and screen make it harder for terminal developers to add new features to their terminals.

Both are actively maintained and can work with modern terminals, as long as the hosting terminal is standards compliant.

I don't understand why people love to break standards.
I've spent probably 200 hours with MoonScript, was obsessed with it for a bit, and love it 90% of the time. The problem is that MoonScript's grammar is INCREDIBLY permissive. Common typos(often involving spaces) don't break your code, whereas in Lua or Python the mistake wouldn't compile.

MoonScript is awesome but I lean on compilers pretty heavily to catch my mistakes, so I sadly and regrettably admitted that I was more productive with other toolchains.
IIRC, iTerm2 has special support for tmux. E.g., tmux panes get corresponding iTerm2 panes?

Hey now, Vocaloid tuning takes effort and creativity!
My whole qualm with this AI integration into search engines: it's a search engine, not a question engine. I go to google to search the internet for something, not ask it a question. IMO, asking AI for something is a different task than searching the internet.

It's sorta the same problem as if I go into a store and ask an employee where something is, and they reply with "well what are you trying to do?"
You have sympathy for victims but offer none to offenders, who are often (but not always) victims themselves who have been failed previously.

If deterrance worked, why is the US so imprisoned today? The memes surrounding the tree of liberty did not spring up in a vaccuum, groups of men with power have a long sordid history of atrocities. Those men use magick (psychological trickery) to gain your consent to act on others by force, or the consent of others to act on you by force.

I am a pro- liberal gun ownership and pro- restricted state power kind of girl (especially re: "War on ___"): I have better chances of survival shooting back at criminals than goons in Fashi garb.
On mac, iterm2 has excellent tmux integration. You start tmux in control mode (tmux -CC) and it opens a new window for that session with all the multiplexing handled by the terminal instead. You get to use all of your normal terminal keyboard shortcuts and terminal interface.

It is the best of both worlds. And, yes, of course it works with a remote ssh session.
> He did also not want me to do any testing as "the customers were better at finding bugs than we are"

He's not wrong about that quoted bit, though :-/

Paying customers are uncannily better at finding bugs than anyone!

[Note: I am not advocating for removing testing from your process.]
It doesn't convey the same idea
Does tmux allow redefining the key bindings?

GNU screen allows for redefining (at least) its hotkey. If tmux allows the same maybe you could redo the bindings more to your liking?
After setting up static IP between two computers, (1) it was not so bad, and (2) I estimate I am two decades behind.

The only way to catch up is to foster an environment where one must create the things one wants to do. Make a game to play one. Write the screenplay instead of watching the movie. Make paper models, sketch wireframes, and read books.

All I can do is block, block, block. Be bored or burning calories. Be the only one--for a while, maybe--who can quit vi or compile a program.

Fundamentally, mechanics, math, and programming. Write adventures, design levels, and port Photoshop tutorials to Gimp.

Foster a network, but (locally) not many may subscribe to this quirky constellation.
I don't think that's mandatory.

Noun phrases can be arbitrarily long in English and don't require connecting words or hyphens. This can be very confusing to people whose first language doesn't have this feature. Classic example: "Heathrow airport customer car park", a five word noun phrase (IE, noun noun noun noun noun) that native speakers find completely normal.
Fully agreed.

I myself use 2 terminals: Alacritty and WezTerm. The former for local work, and the latter for my VMs, and occasional remote server work.

I couldn't explain exactly why I use separated applications, since WezTerm works well for local (which even has a menu entry for that) and remote alike, but I'm comfortable with the workflow that I have today, and for me it's enough and what matters.
It depends on the team/company. I've worked on many teams/companies where:

- Developers were encouraged to put in time to maintain and refactor code. (including forcing them to take time to focus on that and do nothing else)

- Engineering-centric work was prioritized over random product management asks.

- Schedules were adjusted to make sure the engineering work is done properly.

I'd say this was my typical experience, including S&P-500 multi-billion dollar companies, 100M-$1B companies, startups. I would also say that in all these cases there were experienced software engineers and managers that could be trusted to make reasonable tradeoffs and also pay attention to business needs. Often engineers interacted/worked directly with customers.

There has to be balance and that balance is typically achieved through people that can apply a balance. Striving for "perfect" can lead to never ending refactoring and never shipping. Ignoring technical debt or shipping garbage can lead to the collapse of the business over time. Neither of these extremes are the right thing. Where exactly you land on that spectrum also depends on the specific product, industry, customers, business.
GPT-4 as a brain is already quite capable. It needs a body, be it virtual or real. It need arms and legs. And that's just code, which it is already quite capable of doing. An integrated system where GPT4 can run commands and receive feedback about them is quite smart.
Restarting, Again
I'm back to blogging on my personal blog. I'd like to spend more time experimenting and creating things. I wish to document my process of building tools and art, and some other random stuff. Make things, tell stories. That's what I am into those days.
It always has been, regardless of the current world conflicts. There are nukes ready to be launched at moments notice all the time.
What I've been wanting to see for a while now is a social-network based search engine:

* No pages are indexed automatically. The only indexed pages are pages that users say are worth indexing. Probably have a browser add-on for a one button click that people can use.
* You can friend/follow others
* Your search results are a combination of your own indexed pages and the pages indexed by people in your network.
kitty seems to be a relatively more opinionated terminal compared to other terminals. The first time I heard about kitty was via a comment about not implementing Sixel support:

https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/2511#issuecomment...

"Terminal multiplexers are a bad idea" sounds just like Sixel being "an inferior graphics protocol", and Sixel is probably another example of "worse is better".
Ha! I'll raise you the woman I know who thinks Michael Jackson was the John the Baptist to Donald Trump's Christ!

There's wrong, and then there's so-wrong-it-should-be-a-musical!
If I use a terminal with mosh with tmux with neovim with :term how many parses is that? At least 4 or 5. It works!
I find irony here.
yes, why? seems like not that useful of a phrase if it needs an explanation with parenthesis in a wikipedia
No need to question or debate; just pointing out that we are getting an empirical test of it as we speak. We'll have the empirical data in a year or less.
Some truths are ill heard. Thank you for being a voice of reason and screw the downvotes.
I wonder how this relates to sodium ion batteries. Would this make them obsolete if these are a better alternative to lithium ion?
