One of the earliest projects I took over from a higher level developer was an auction website back around 1998. The site worked like eBay in as far as you could put a maximum bid, and it would automatically bid higher than the last bid up to that point. The problem was, it was all dependent on users being on that page so that the auto-reload http header would fire again and refresh the page. If nobody was on the site watching the auction, no automatic bids would happen and nobody would be declared the winner.

In the recently released book Rassie: Stories of Life and Rugby by Rassie Erasmus (two time World Cup winning South African rugby coach), Rassie mentions that he doesn’t do one-on-ones. To quote from the book:

"Everything was done in front of everybody. I’ve never had a one-on-one with a player, except when he came to me with a deeply personal issue. I told them not to come to me individually with questions about why they were not in the team, or why they thought they deserved an opportunity…

Some of the newer players weren’t used to me not having one-on-one discussions. I told them I preferred to talk to everyone together so everyone understood what was going on, and no rumours started about what might have happened between me and a player behind closed doors."

Given how often sports team analogies are used in leadership speak, perhaps this fits.
I strongly believe there's nothing there other than gibberish. Piping /dev/random to a word selector will probably enumerates everything inside that set. There's a reason we can translate between every language on earth. That's because it's the same earth and reality. So there's a common sets of concepts that gives us the foundational rules of languages. Which is the data that you're speaking about.
This reminds me of my experience in developing "Felo Search", which was truly crazy. In the past year, I hardly dared to think about projects related to general search engines. Such experiences are common, just like when you achieve success in the field of technology, people will also encounter unfamiliar things or situations in life and learn new knowledge and skills from them.

This kind of experience can be seen as a part of growth, no matter how experienced we are in a certain field, we will always encounter new challenges that require learning, I wish you good luck!

my ego is pretty detached from the reasoning and learning side of the house. for the ego i start with first principles, where i put myself pretty squarely in the blithering idiot column.

when it comes to reasoning and learning, when i'm wrong it tends to be kind of a weirdly joyful moment, maybe to be able to think of the growth from when i was young and less excited to make mistakes.
I am what I think you mean by Mormon--a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't know you at all, so I have no idea whether you are going to hell, but my default guess is no. I'm not qualified to know even if I did know you so I don't know if that will make you feel any better. Please don't try to prove me wrong. :-)

I agree with your generalization about cheerful, conscientious people. I have been mostly pleased with the efforts of people within that faith who have taught my children. Then again, I have been mostly pleased with the efforts of people not within that faith who have taught my children.

But I have been pretty dissatisfied with the efforts of people who were not professional teachers. I have seen a discouraging share of toxic individualism and narcissism among people in all faiths, including my own. Perhaps I fall into the same pit.

I'd like to defend all the good folks in London and New York and caution everyone to not depend on a person's religion as a teaching credential. (Or even a ticket to an after life.)
The same occurred to me while reading it.

I appreciate it's probably not possible to share too many details but I wouldn't be surprised if the choice of Java wasn't simply preference. It may have been a problem with the pipeline rather than with K. I.e. a fix might have been available using K but it can be easier (and harder) to just use some out-of-the box solution. I agree that columnar and time series dbs may have caught up with K over the years, but most of the complaints I've heard about K aren't technical.
A lot of the “fake news” in circulation about Covid turned out to be true. Oh how some of this info was shut down, from twitter and Facebook removing them , to news outlets reporting on them.

Things being free in public helps low income people live nice fulfilled lives still.

Now it costs $40 to launch a sailboat at my local reservoir. Even state camping spots are $40+ it seems in areas I know aren't full all the time.

It costs like $20 in extra gas tax to drive to LA with your friends because California can't just set the income tax appropriately?

I could go on and on. The income tax to me sounds pretty fair. But making a poor person living paycheck to paycheck come up with $40 to go to the lake with a cheap sailboat seems harsh to me (my dad and I used to go as a Kid. It was $5 then. And my dad made $20 an hour as a recent immigrant in construction).

And don't start that people that use services should pay. My tax money goes to a lot of things I don't use or even agree with.

Userspace-paged data is a tiny fraction of the amount of data that C++ programs, taken as a whole, process, and is a very weak argument for dropping static memory safety. Besides, because of unsafe, any Rust-like language, like Circle C++, will have the features needed to deal with such data too.
I think a good write-up that shows some practical use cases of monads is a paper called "Monads for functional programming" by Philip Wadler. It assumes you're familiar with the basic syntax of Haskell or its predecessors, though.

It's more like C++ made by that ISO committee and C++ used by actual users of C++ needs a divorce. They are so far up in the clouds adding features to language that mostly only help them to write less embarrasing standard library code, it hurts to watch sometimes.

Remember discussions that led to std::bit_cast? How absolutely everyone who processes binary data is wrong, because object of type, say, "unsigned" does not exist before it is created, so everyone casting pointers to parse packets is wrong, and only commitee is right?

It is doubly sad to see them claim compatibility to C (C++ is absolutely not compatible to C) as a reason for some features, or single pass compilation as a reason for others...

[edit]
To clarify, on one hand, a lot of terrible misfeatures are kept in the name of compatibility, e.g. "int x = x;" ("fixing that will break too many existing exploits") or not being able to add friends without editing source ("debugging? we think it is overrated"), but then they go and proclaim basically all existing code that processes structured binary data as non-conformant.
Recently I've been thinking the important thing is that advice is always highly context sensitive, so throwing out "good advice" without qualification or discernment leads to a lot of harm.

Take (again) dating advice: Saying something like "you shouldn't put so much emphasis on someone's looks" may help someone who is unsuccessful at dating and puts an inordinate emphasis on looks in their selection process. But if someone who already had a balanced view on looks that hears the advice, they may take it to heart and try dating people they have no physical attraction to and find less success.
I’m not the parent, but depending on the context, GPT-4 will often make up functions that then end up requiring research and correction; in other cases like once when I asked it to show me an example of a class of X86 assembly instructions, it just added a label and skipped the actual instruction and implementation!

Yesterday I was looking for some help on an issue with the unshare command; it repeatedly made bad assumptions about the nature of the error even I provided it with the full error message and one could already guess the initial cause by looking at that.

I guess such errors can be frighteningly common once you get outside of typical web development.

Huh, you’re clearly right. I would have expected it to say smoke measuring ionization chamber, to distinguish it from a radiation measuring ionization chamber.

It feels like the particular corner of the universe I reside on did not migrate to Wayland well. Perhaps it would less bother me if I didn't feel like I was being forced to accept KDE or GNOME or deal with a second-best experience.

Having just set up a new machine the last few days (Debian Sid on a new Thinkpad L13) and spending a little while in a KDE/Wayland session, I remembered what I don't like about the big desktops: since they don't completely own the distribution underneath, there's always going to be a control panel that doesn't work as expected, or some incompatible software in there. The illusion isn't quite strong enough.

My best theory is that the lack of compositor options is a timing issue: Wayland arrived at a time when most desktop Linux was moving towards the big desktops, and away from the classic standalone window managers. I suspect they were more or less a solved problem; FVWM in 2024 looks and works very much like FVWM in 2004, so there simply was less interest in them in general, let alone to bankroll a huge production number like making a Wayland-compatible rewrite. Tiling window management seems like a newish trend that acquired its own fanbase late enough that there was momentum to build things like sway.

I'm surprised there isn't a "reverse xwayland" -- a paper-thin compositor that exposes Wayland top-level windows in a manner that twm and friends know how to wrangle. I know I can launch a Wayland compositor with its own captured desktop but that defeats the purpose of wanting something else to own the frames, decoration, and movement.

Chicago and NYC have huge commuter rail networks that accomplish exactly what you’re claiming is impractical.

The Metra commuter rail in Chicago handles over 2.5 million trips per month.

59 percent of the people who commute to Manhattan do so via public transit. People commute to work to Manhattan from Connecticut and New Jersey by train.

Penn Station is the busiest transportation facility in the Western hemisphere, serving 600,000 passengers a day, primarily commuter rail and regional rail. And that’s just one station.

One subway tunnel with two tracks is equivalent to something like a 15 lane highway in passenger throughput. That’s where highway expansion truly falls apart: it only really scales up to a small to mid-sized cities before the land waste becomes a burden.

A lot of urban highways have no way to add lanes because there is no more physical space, or you have to destroy the actual destinations that the highway is supposed to serve to expand it.

I will also add that there are a decent amount of suburbs with walkable downtowns along those NYC and Chicago (and Boston!) commuter rail networks where you can buy a condo, rent an apartment, or even a buy a single family home within walking or biking distance of commuters rail and go downtown. In addition, suburban bus lines that feed people into commuter rail stops also exist. So it’s not all park and rides.

And park and rides still help spread traffic across the metro area highway network instead of sending all traffic into to a handful of highways going downtown. If I drive to my town’s commuter rail stop my car is probably not even getting on a highway.

Television and internet have most certainly had adverse effects on children's growth and development. This is a well-documented fact.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is you said “they” but, like the comment from borski, we have multiple rescue felines and a rescue canine, only one cat shows _any_ interest in hunting (bugs generally but wants lizards too), whereas the others are like wtf. And the dog and cats snuggle, play, have bery distinct personalities and are very smart in sometimes very individual ways. So “they” is the same logical error made by those who describe members of a group as all like a particular member of the group.
> Because we don’t live in a vacuum? I don’t want to be around erratic, constantly outraged and disinformation fed people. And before you say “well, you don’t have to”, keep in mind that those people hold as much voting power as you, possibly more, because hordes of fanatic will eat whatever shit their influencer overlords will tell them.

I would not rebut with “well, you don’t have to.” I know that we have to. But what is being complained about here is not a new problem enabled by the internet. Disinformation has been around as long as humanity has (see religion). This attitude that “those people” have as much voting power as I do is the kind of thinking that disenfranchised women and non white men. (As an aside, it’s funny that you think voting actually matters and that the populace has a say in anything that goes on in the halls of power).

This type of intellectual exercise is nothing more than mental masturbation: it serves only to make the writer feel good about himself. You can’t force others to value what you value. And you certainly can’t shame them into it by calling them intellectually obese.

Don’t worry about me. I don’t feel called out by this article. I’m careful about what information I consume, don’t spend my time on socials or YouTube, and I’m comfortable with my choices. What irks me about this article is that it serves no purpose but to cut other people down for their choices that don’t harm others.

From your link:

>Brontosaurus is a genus in the subfamily Apatosaurinae, which includes only it and Apatosaurus, which are distinguished by their firm builds and thick necks. Although Apatosaurinae was named in 1929, the group was not used validly until an extensive 2015 paper, which found Brontosaurus to be valid. However, the status of Brontosaurus is still uncertain, with some paleontologists still considering it a synonym of Apatosaurus.

And:

>Almost all 20th-century paleontologists agreed with Riggs that all Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus species should be classified in a single genus. According to the rules of the ICZN, which governs the scientific names of animals, the name Apatosaurus, having been published first, had priority; Brontosaurus was considered a junior synonym and was therefore discarded from formal use.

I had the same thought. People know that ChatGPT is completely fallible—prone to hallucination, etc—yet people continue to abuse it to do things it's incapable of doing—write a legal brief, create an A paper, etc. This is the same magical thinking that would lead someone to consult a wizard.
Every home-schooled person I've ever met, I didn't need to be told they were home-schooled because it was obvious after a few minutes that they were, and a few minutes later they wove it into the conversation.

Now this is a fun idea. If you think of embeddings as a sort of quantization of latent space, what would happen if you “turned off” that quantization? It would obviously make no sense to us, as we can only understand the output of vectors that map to tokens in languages we speak, but you could imagine a language model writing something in a sort of platonic, infinitely precise language that another model with the same latent space could then interpret.
The last commit on Github was 2 days ago so I think it's safe to say this is a dead project.

In Erlang (so probably valid in Elixir too?) if you're using OTP 25+, try using `format_status/1` (one argument) instead of the older `format_status/2`

https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/stdlib/gen_server#c:format_s...

One new thing it does, compared to the old `format_status/2` is it allows removing the last message received by the process from, to prevent it from being dumped in the logs.
