The general rule is, no, they are not. Unfortunately there is really no penalty in the US if you're following to close unless you get in an accident. I quite often drive on I-35 and so often it's in conditions I call a fast moving traffic jam. People are traveling nearly 80MPH with 2 car distances between each other. Quite often this turns into multi car pileups because someone has to emergency break.
Boiling the frog for 3 years now. And then we get these insulting blog posts of clueless Developer Relations people claiming how amazing it is that they now support 5000 rules, a number surely meant to impress equally clueless people.

It's just kind of the experience, I don't know. It has a certain familiarity, but there's also the shared experience aspect of it. I don't like to be cloistered more and more at home, despite that being the overwhelming arc of American culture. Sometimes it's nice to enjoy a shared, familiar experience (even if the popcorn costs too much).
Yeah, I love my TypeScript serverless backend project and my successful DynamoDB project but often I think I could have saved a lot of pain by using PHP and/or Postgres.
The bigger deal to me is that so many Americans (that many that he could win) are still going to vote for Trump! That's so disappointing of the American society.
People also don't generally vendor. Just saying it's an option - there's too many "vendor everything" voices around. I've got a 4.4GB repo which says "please don't, that was a bad idea".

AI in education reminds me of that book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age

Spoiler alert: seems the author didn’t consider realistic for an AI to do a good job as a general-purpose smart assistant for a child. Yet here we are.
Yeah, don't be DRY from the start, YAGNI.
There’s no guarantee we’ll manage to cope, even socially, with every technology we develop.

I suspect this is one of them. Only expensive private education will be able to avoid regressing in quality. Public schools are already rubbing their hands with glee imagining how many teachers they can lay off or avoid hiring (there’s a staffing crisis) to give half as much money (which will slowly inflate to the same amount) to SV app vendors instead. Zero chance the first attempt at this is gonna be any good, we’re soon going to see something far more damaging than Covid was, for kids’ educations.

I think there's definitely harm and it doesn't even require teachers to use it. Lazy students will plug anything into chatGPT. Instead of obviously plagiarized unreadable garbage like you used to get, you get coherent AI maybe garbage that's harder to detect. And students not doing the assignment doesn't help them. It's also limiting to require all work to be done in class or oral to try and prevent usage.

As someone who also went through the public school system and who was able to get into an ivy league school off of that education, maybe you should show some more respect to the people doing the work of education for shit pay.
Everything can potentially have mistakes, therefore we should rely on computers to do all the thinking for us?

I miss Joe, he was a super nice guy who always responded back to my dumb emails when I was first starting as an engineer asking for help with concurrent programming in elaborate detail. He didn't have to do that, but he did, and he was awesome for it.

Even in this post, he was able to be polite and still critical of Elixir, pointing out parts that annoyed him, but still ended it with positive praise.

> As far as I understand it's a jury trial which means it wasn't up to the judge to make the call.

IANAL but I've done some jury-duty: As a general rule the judge is responsible for determining things like "which laws are involved here", and when there's a jury the judge creates instructions that cover the rest of it like: "The law says X. The question of Y is not relevant and you should not let it affect your decision. You must convict if ((A and B) or C)."

So in a jury trial the judge might rule "those aren't actually charges you can make", but not so much "that evidence is fake" or "that person is lying" etc.
Target requires delabeling on most items in pallets that are Target branded and at least when I last looked they said no exporting. I went down the path of trying to apply to purchase pallets myself but opted against it even if a lot of other resellers ignore the rules. Not worth it - plus good chance of getting stuck with school supplies like reams of paper which you really can't do anything with when selling online.

You completely extinguish the patient (and population) safety issue over some mealy mouthed allusion to American Puritanism while completely just ignoring unaddressed the main counter that most other industrialized nations never matched the high level of opioid uses or its skyrocketing growth in the 90s.

which in addition to hawking a number of questionable co-opted concepts is literally stating the equivalent of “risk of death from automobile ejection is now super low these days therefore seatbelts must not be necessary”, which is ballsy to put out there (or not so much if you’re retired).

This and your wall also just completely ignores the diversion issue. Ibuprofen may have harms but no one is selling it for $20 a pill or more to people that end up dead. The methods to avoid it at the end of the chain are laughably terrible, annoying or even harmful to legitimate users and not an impediment at all to diverters.

This is a complex medico-ethical-legal and public health issue, "hurr durr, those nasty right wing puritans" is uselessly reductionist.

Any SVG you view on a website is already downloaded to your computer when you view it.

But you probably already knew that but you’ve sort of shared your own question.

No, they may not give you a license to use it. So don’t use it and then there’s nothing wrong. That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with downloading it.
This is a mild view of what’s on the horizon. I’m pretty sure liberal democracy can’t survive in the environment we’re creating. It wasn’t clear it was going to survive iteratively-improving Internet strategies in the first place, and LLMs are like giving a battleship to bad actors and a revolver to anything resembling the truth.

Here's my problem: I don't want tiling windows. I want title bars. I don't want to run KDE or GNOME. I want desktop computing like it was in 1994.

In the X11 universe, there's a galaxy of decent full featured window managers that fit my needs. Yes, some of them are archaic, but they work.

On Wayland, I don't have that option. There are:

* Experimental projects which went inactive several years ago. Since the compositor has so many more moving parts than an X11 Window Manager, I'm not sure how viable these are.

* Weston, which is extremely limited in features, so I'm not sure all Wayland tools are happy with it

* In-process wlroots projects like labwc and wayfire that sort of work, but often feel surprisingly incomplete. (labwc's theming is weak, Wayfire doesn't know what window shading is)

If there was something that felt complete and workable-- a FVWM or a WindowMaker, I wouldn't feel like I'm giving up quality-of-experience for the sake of Waylandness.
IEEE FP8 Formats for Machine Learning (Draft) [pdf]
I was recently a defendant in a a set of lawsuits by a scammer seeking hundreds of billions of dollars in damages, using the courts as a weapon to shut down people who were in the way of his confidence game. The cumulative costs incurred by his opponents ended up well over ten million £‎.

After a five week trial the court found against him in every respect, concluding his evidence was forged, that his actions constituted a fraud upon the court, etc.

Relevant to this thread is that partly through the process he began to use ChatGPT. He appeared to use it in four ways: To create forgeries that he didn't have the technical skills to create (at least not on a short timeframe) with e.g. ChatGPT walking him through the technical steps, to concoct excuses and explanations, and to flood out his opponents with hundreds of pages of ChatGPT authored testimony that expended our resources just reading the material.

He also used it to suggest legal strategy, which didn't cause us any problems and probably worked in our favor as ChatGPT's suggestions on that front appear to have been uniformly idiotic.

Though he concealed his earlier usage, claiming to have lost access to his prior account, all in all his ChatGPT activity from around September 2023 to January 2024 amounted to some 22 million lines of text.

We were extremely fortunate that his usage of ChatGPT began after his litigation began and that he made numerous errors that made his usage unambiguous. Had he been using it all along and less obviously our cost of defending the claim may have been increased dramatically-- even at his current usage had we been funding our defense entirely out of our own pockets his abuse of chatgpt may well have been the straw that bankrupted us before we could secure our victory.

I think the us of LLMs as a tool in crime is interesting. For many negative uses of LLMs like spamming you can counter that people could just hire humans for the task so the LLM is more a question of cost or degree. But when committing a crime anyone you hire is a party that could extort you or whistleblow. We suspect our con made as many errors as he did with his forgeries in part due to his limited ability to enlist third parties to vet them.

The potential for productive, honest, usage of the technology in this case appeared pretty limited relative to the potential for abuse. Some of the abuse could be addressed through improvements in standard practices like filing length limits, but its less clear to me how abuse like using it as a confidential forgery aid can be addressed.

I certainly don't think it can be solved with safety approaches, since the interaction never needs to tell the LLM the true purpose. The same doesn't work for a human forgery aid because their access to outside information and potential for being questioned would make it much harder to avoid the risk that they discover that they're being used as a tool for fraud.

Later down the line, if you want to have separate behaviour for task deadlines vs payment deadlines, you're going to have to go through your codebase and look at every call to set_deadline and figure out if it's being used to set a task deadline or payment deadline. If you have an inkling that the deadlines might need a different behaviour, the “good example” can save you an annoying refactor in the future.
TBF robotaxis have a much higher duty cycle than a private car, so much sooner than 3 years. Something like twice per year per taxi, I'd estimate. But that doesn't take away from what a travesty it is to claim FSD will be robotaxiing anytime soon. 30 miles to disengagement would amount to 5-7 times per day per taxi.

On top of all that, Waymo does intensive 3d mapping for their service locations. These maps have to be maintained. Then the cars need sensors that take advantage of those 3D maps. If that combination of intensive mapping and LIDAR sensing turns out to be necessary to get beyond FSD's current and near future performance, then Tesla isn't even at the starting line.

Fine Tuning a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) from a Single YouTube Video
Hey all,

We were messing around with PixArt as a way to fine tune DiT's for image generation. I was pretty impressed with the results and thought I'd share.

https://www.oxen.ai/ox/PixArtTutorial

In this example I downloaded a video from YouTube (the trailer of Wes Anderson's Asteroid City) chopped up the frames, captioned them with LLaVA, and then trained the model to generate in the style of the video. It's only about 340 frames of data so pretty quick to generate and train.

I also compare against pure prompting, which the model did not have encoded in it's base parameters.

Using PEFT and LoRA, it took less than 3 hours on an A10 GPU on Lambda Labs. So cost about $3 in total. Pretty wild that it worked right out of the gate for that cheap.

Hopefully it inspires others for what they could build!

> You can then go back and DRY it up while making sure your unit tests (you did write those, right?) still pass.

The general issue I have with LLMs in testing is scoring/grading. Since the experience will be different for each test, someone or something will have to grade it individually by reading and "understanding their understanding".

It leaves too much to subjectivity.
Reading first two words isn't sufficient work to arrive at such conclusion. Thus you seem to have jumped to conclusion based on just two words, or more likely, you are showing off/asking for interaction with a seemingly cleverly constructed text that has all the negative attributes it criticizes in the other text.

I did not stop reading your comment, because I didn't think it is dangerous to do so, and I thought it was funny. I write here to you because I think now it is not that funny, and you should abandon this behaviour and change it for better. For example, before commenting on an article, I recommend you first read it all to understand what is it that the article says. You will then be in much better position to make a useful and funny comment here.
My suggestion would be to experiment with languages until you find one that you like more than the others and replicate the functionality of someone else’s software. Free yourself of the need to come up with a good idea.

If you choose a language that’s not widely used or no one is hiring for, don’t worry about it. You’ll find that the concepts you learn in any language are portable to all languages. Once you learn those, it will be easy to pick up new languages when you need to.

Bonus advice: when you find a language you’re good at, stick with it and get really good at it.
This is not news in 2024. We know LLMs say funny things.
I’m the founder of Hasura - sharing some notes from how I’ve seen GraphQL usage evolve over the last few years.

1. GraphQL was and remains insanely hard to build without an underlying data layer that does the heavy lifting. Without projection push-down, predicate push-down, a data layer that can support heavy parallelism it’s untenable. Exactly the problems the OP highlights - needing to “hoist”…

2. GraphQL on REST is an anti-pattern. The hype takes you there, but the juice is not worth the squeeze. The problem was lack of types? Add openapi. The problem was custom aggregation endpoints? Make it super easy / cheap to build aggregate endpoints in REST. Use an AI copilot to write an aggregate REST endpoint and a openapi schema for it even. But maybe the last thing to do is to build annd mainatian another API layer with a completely different execution model.

It’s not what it was meant for perhaps, but GraphQL’s killer use-case is an API to access / operate on data. Especially when there are multiple consumers of data (services, apps) and they don’t own the underlying data sources or speak the underlying language of the database. This turns out to be the underlying problem behind a lot of api, data modernization / migration / decomposition efforts.

The cost of this approach is implementing
Graphql by building a compiler/planner with a robust authz system baked into it. A resolver based approach can never cut it, unless you resolve a query plan - aka build a compiler.

If you want to use graphql to just batch rest endpoints, it’s very likely going to become legacy tech as soon as the team that built it starts to move on.
Well, it was the director's girlfriend - or maybe just a woman he wanted to shag? Memory fails. He was good enough - the finished piece looked fantastic - and I was doing a favour for a friend, so it was all OK. The girl had a list of London credits that I doubted heavily, but she came off very well on camera, so <shrug>. It's nowhere near my worst experience with a film actor, only annoying at the time, and totally worth it (as most things are) for the story.
Social media companies need to be required to have a way to reach customer support. The only reason he got any help was that he was a big enough content creator to be able to raise a stink.
perseverence is necessary to establish perfection. it's just reps. about 7-8x a year I memorize and perform monologues, usually several minutes in length with complete precision and without notes, which I have less than a couple of weeks to learn. I've tried memory palaces and mnemonics, but there is no substitute for just repeating it. even with spaced repetition most people emphasize the spaced and neglect the repetition part.

just work harder, and when you're successful, give bad advice that knocks the ladder away behind you so people think you're a genius.
There are plenty of examples of superior technology being beaten out by popularity of an inferior technology.

Even our current electric grids (which are at capacity and having trouble globally dealing with solar capacity)

Says who? Your evidence of nothing? For starters rooftop solar means less electricity going over the grid to a house as well as less electricity used for air conditioning due to shading the roof.

Worldwide solar is a small percentage of electricity, so who is "our" when you say "our electrical grids are at capacity" and why would electricity from solar have anything to do with it?

The amount of justification for these kinds of disgusting practices by Stripe (and other similar companies) on this thread (and other threads in the same vein I've read before) is ridiculous.

People who depend on these payments for their livelihood make a good faith attempt to use Stripe for processing them only to be treated like scum with no explanation of why and they're the ones who should be justifying themselves or looking for what went wrong?

Novel idea: the company that provides you with something for a comfortable fee actually fucking explains to you why it suddenly doesn't want your business, and gives you means for arbitration and fair hearing. It's the least they could do while screwing you over.

Opaque, algorithmic, bureaucratic account closures and penalizations are an absolute nightmare of the modern world that should under no circumstances be allowed to proliferate further. They take the old kafkaesque notions of bureaucratic opacity to an automated extreme that nobody should defend or tolerate.

Google, Stripe, Payshit and so many others regularly practice this, and here we see some people who themselves could one day be victims of the same actually bothering to find excuses for it.
