Author here, very fair comment! My thinking with the naming convention was to resemble a "compiled textbook" where the "meat" of each chapter/section is the linked content, and my primary contribution is the organization/roadmap rather than the exposition itself, but I'm open to changing if it'd help with clarity. Will be doing another round of edits soon anyways to reflect some newly suggested resources that people have shared.

This has gotten a lot more eyes on it than I was expecting, suggestions/criticisms are welcome and appreciated! Started making it mostly to organize my own understanding + to have a central resource repository to share around to friends who want to learn more about this stuff, any other people finding it useful is a bonus :)
Hi - this sounds really interesting. If the author sees this - would you consider putting some non-technical features in the list? "cross-platform" and "zero dependencies" are great, but those aren't really helping me decide whether I might benefit from giving this a spin.

From skimming the rest of the readme, I kind of think this is meant for "visually navigating tables in a database, as read-only operations." But I may very well be wrong. A summary of the actual use cases would be very helpful!

We've talked to twitch on and off over the years, but nothing specific to this. Music licensing data pipelines are a massively complex topic and very hard to get right. Its one of those areas you can only appreciate having done it. It looks trivial from the outside, my guess is they will be starting that work now, and in about 6-12 months time the complex reality of it will start to set in. Ironically the hardest part isn't even figuring out the track, its figuring out which major label owns the rights for it, in the territory it was streamed, on the day it was streamed. This is even more complex on the publishing side, where you can have multiple writers.

This post has skill issues. The cab driver study has no bearing on a sex difference study. The subject groups are intentionally too different. One cannot port a conclusion from it to the other study. Only as a theme in a hypothesis. Ergo, you can not say that a study that showed a difference in gender brain matter "does not immediately prove" the conclusion due to the cab driver study. It may immediately prove, and it may not. But the reason that it would not is not the cab driver study. The reason would be other aspects of the gender study. Such aspects, like deficiencies in study design, should be in the discussion regardless of the cab driver study. But the real issue is that "immediately prove" is simply unscientific language that should be revised. You're also asking everyone to accept that cross-gender nurture, all other variables accounted for and including "gender role" volunteerism, is definitely the deciding factor. Sorry. And I say that as someone who could care less if my opposite gender has a brain that has 3x "better" architecture according to any study.
Outcry from big AI firms over California AI "kill switch" bill
This is exactly why I see virtually no difference between the desired tyrannies of the “woke” types today as compared to the religious right of the ‘80s and ‘90s. It’s the same shit with a slightly different script. That inherent desire to criminalize opinions and behaviors that might offend their chosen moralities whether or not it actually affects them individually or even others.
Put another way, something that didn’t even exist 100 yrs ago can’t be framed as a right. Saying I have a right to an iPhone is the same as saying I have a right to health insurance.
IMO, the landscape has shifted. "Back in the day", before we could use computers, we had to build them. Technology was new and we were growing with it. It was enormously liberative, but not all use cases were. A couple of us wanted to open source and give away a school information system database schema so that anyone could built upon it, and there could be data portability between proprietary silos that locked people in and stifled innovation. That didn't work out.

Young people have great tools as a foundation, and it's my hope that they focus on use cases to liberate people instead of trapping them in walled gardens.

you're right about force being the ultimate authority, if a government derives it's powers from it's force alone you would be right. but even in dictatorial regimes, the dictator needs support from various underlings and factions. But in the context of western democracy, governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed. In that context, no such authority has been given to them.

But still, what I was alluding to was that while governments can alienate rights by force, them doing so is exceeding their authority and resisting their rule is not rebellion in that context. Even if the people voted to alienate such basic rights, the government still does not have legitimate authority. My goal was to take away legitimacy from such governments and their rule.

I stated this in a sibling comment as well but this is the reason by which american revolution (July 4th coming up!) was justified. The english rule under king george used force to restrict and regulate inalienable rights and thus lost it's legitimacy. Without legitimacy, it was possible to organize resistance and revolt against such rule.

Updated Intel Meteor Lake Tuning for Linux Shows Performance/Power Improvements
An important aspect that is not considered in the article is that GPT-4o can generate images by itself (even though the feature is not enable to the public) meaning that it's very likely trained on sequential image tokens and the images are quantized using a VQGAN, my guess is that the VQGAN takes 512x512 images and outputs 13x13 tokens (169 image tokens + special token), the VQGAN can be a convolutional network like shown in the article, for a transformer-based VQGAN I cannot think of a configuration with overlapping patches where it would output 13x13 tokens on a 512x512 image (unless they just added a padding of 4 on the entire image and the patches are not overlapping).

Rights are one thing, their protection is another. Most rights are granted by the state, some rights though are beyond the state's authority to grant. This belief and concept is the literal founding cornerstone of america as a nation.

The rebellion against english rule was justified because the state exceeded it's authority to regulate rights by restricting inalienable rights.
Cool, but I'd first have to be sold on tiling managers being a good idea in the first place. I like to imagine my desktop as well.. my physical desktop. It's got papers on it, books, it's all overlapping and I usually put the stuff I am working on in the center. That's the issue with tiling managers for me - it introduces a structure where you probably don't need it.

I'm a little more charitable on such things than I used to be, because it is hard to know why they overlooked the typo. For example, in this case it might be that they actually use a tool called signular [1] and so added that to their spelling dictionary.

Arguably they could have avoided Microsoft "betrayal" as well. Ultimately, Windows 3.0 was a skunkworks project of single engineer against the corporate decisions of Microsoft, and only when it was quite closer to complete did it start getting management buy-in.

Something I don't get is why OpenAI don't provide clear, comprehensive documentation as to how this actually works,

I get that there's competition from other providers now so they have an instinct to keep implementation details secret, but as someone building on their APIs this lack of documentation really holds me back.

To make good judgements about how to use this stuff I need to know how it works!

I had a hilarious bug a few weeks ago where I loaded in a single image representing multiple pages of a PDF and GPT-4 vision effectively hallucinated the contents of the document when asked to OCR it, presumably because the image was too big and was first resized to a point where the text was illegible: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Apr/17/ai-for-data-journalism...

If OpenAI had clear documentation about how their image handling works I could avoid those kinds of problems much more effectively.

While it doesn't seems so today, that's the premise of the State of Israel after the Holocaust.
He may still be able to say he is Jewish or even deny that he is religious today the trend in the west is the same as in the 1930's. You see it in the UK, France, the US and even in Germany. It doesn't matter what these governments say today. They don't fight or even deny anti-semitism either from the radical right or the marxist and Islamo-left. The protests under the mask of anti-Israel are just these ideas peeking into the surface.

When his business gets boycotted, burned and stolen, when he won't be able to run for office or hold a government position, when his house gets marked and his kids won't be able to go to school the only safe place in that regard will be Israel.

You seem insistent that there's no nuance whatsoever involved in this, yet I find this hard to accept.

Just in the article you linked to, it says that 49,000 gay men were pardoned. It also says the law against "gross indecency with a man" was passed in 1885 and was only repealed in 1967. The law against "buggery" was first used in 1533 and was in place until the 19th century!

If we assume that 100 million people lived through those times, and that the conservative estimate of approximately 3% gay population held, then there would have been 3,000,000 gay people during that time. That means that 1.6% of gay people ended up prosecuted. If we only consider men, then 3.2% ended up prosecuted. This seems to me to be a little more nuanced than you are suggesting, otherwise there wouldn't be such a huge inconsistency in enforcement.

Since we're urging each other now, I’d urge you to spend more time thinking about how perception can differ from reality, what the pitfalls are of binary thinking and blind acceptance, and why Socrates encouraged people to have humility about what they think they know.
They still had to feed the slaves, and they were certainly not unlimited. In fact, many roads were built by Roman legions themselves, not slaves. (the engineers were also soldiers).
This is how I originally learned vi. Watching a crusty old guy who occasionally explained his keystrokes and didn't think it was worth mentioning that alternatives existed. (After all, if the alternative requires eight megabytes and constant swapping, is it worth mentioning?)
Google is working on a Recall-like feature for Chromebooks, too
It will use mostly unused ram for tmp files, but if it doesn't fit, the swap manager will swap it out to disk (think of a ramdisk with swapping).

This means that is should work a lot faster for typical workloads and that data in `/tmp` will automatically be cleared on reboot.

In theory it shouldn't affect anyone much, unless you have swapping disabled (which by default you won't).
Absolutely sure. It's this "Google Play Protect"-feature. I have multiple apps, and they used to trigger randomly these scan requests on upgrades for maybe two years, but with today's install it appears that they have changed how they deal with this, where you no longer have a choice.

Maybe it's because it has extensive permissions wich I need in order to get access to my data usage, but that's not the point. Then again, it also happens with apps which don't require many permissions.
I disagree. The trajectory is pretty clear if you remember what Windows 98 control panel looked like and then compare it to Windows 10. Things are slowly being removed outside user's view for one reason or another ( we can speculate about the why, but it is largely irrelevant as the end result is the same ).

It is admittedly a small thing. In a grand scheme of things, it is almost laughable given what MS has done so far. That said, small steps slowly erode the resistance we once had.

Not that long ago users would have revolted over 'always on' requirement for games that are not mmos. Now it is standard. Not that long ago users would have revolted over claims that a company collected data and sent it to the mothership. Now it is practically expected. All those started with small, negligible attempts that eventually broke the resistance.
Use hardware to measure hardware…makes sense.
It's a Digital thing.

IIRC, the company itself promoted the use of "Digital" rather than "DEC", with the latter being accident of funding availability when it was founded.

"I'm sorry officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that"
Yes, it can make stuff that fits in the rest of the codebase

But I am saying it's not going to ever make the code significantly better

In my experience, code naturally gets worse over time as you add features, and make the codebase bigger. You have to apply some effort and ingenuity to keep it manageable.

So if everyone is using LLMs to barf out status quo code, eventually you will end up with something not very readable. It might look OK locally, but the readability you care about is a global concern.
That was my assumption also. I worked at Google as a contractor in 2013 on a AI related project and their entire internal development environment was so much fun to use, and massive. Their internal coding world is an ideal and probably sufficient source of end-stage training data, given early training on the usual data sources to build language understanding first. They wouldn’t train on just their internal data exclusively.
Technically it's social media but with a different vibe/community.

What specific controls have been removed as of late? I've used Windows on/off since XP (and today use 11), mostly for professional audio stuff and some gaming, but as far as I can tell, everything that used to be accessible, still is. Some of it has different looks (like the sound device management) but a lot still look exactly the same (like the "Device Manager" or partition manager).
