I ask, if that person is truly unpleasant have you spoken to them about how unpleasant they are?

Not to defend but how is someone to recognise a fault of their own if they're not called upon? Unless its truly terrible and they know they are doing it on purpose.

The issue we live in nowadays we are all scared how to tell each other how we feel towards and that we now safe harbour them by throwing them a label and approving that to a degree.

I'm direct and blunt, if someone is doing something in a group I call them out of it; I expect folk to do the same for me.

I may be offended but you should be offended, there's no harm in that.

Granted it's a double edged sword. You tell them; they preach to their safe haven and breathe the toxic fumes of their peers. Or they actually recognise it.
I tried getting into Lisp multiple times. Scheme was definitely the easiest way to get it to click with my brain that was used to C-like languages. If you want something more in depth, I also highly recommend SICP. There are a set of old lectures online on YouTube and MIT OCW, plus the SICP textbook is available for free online.
>I think this goes the other way around. Our method for understanding the economy is flawed and is not properly capturing what all consumers know intuitively, things kind of suck, even when you have a job and even when you're still buying things.

It seems kind of lazy to observe that anecdotes contradict statistics, and then conclude that it's the statistics are wrong without providing any empirical evidence to the contrary. This style of argumentation basically allows you to make whatever "intuitive" claim you want and handwave any empirical evidence to the contrary because the empirical evidence isn't "capturing what [we] all know intuitively".

> Any system that is not explicitly pro-Weird Nerd will turn anti-Weird Nerd pretty quickly

just feels like a misunderstanding of the paradox of tolerance[0] ("in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance").

So we need to question what the author means with "Weird Nerd", because if a weird nerd just isn't expressing intolerance, I can't fathom how anyone could have an issue with it ...and become "anti-Weird Nerd".

In my usage, a soliton and a topological defect are synonyms for certain isolated solutions to differential equations. Please replace soliton with topological defect in my statement above and see if it makes more sense.

The idea is there are families of solutions to partial differential equations that are stable, but cannot not deform continuously into any of the "ordinary" solutions without leaving the set of solutions at some intermediate point of deformation. These outlying solutions are topologically isolated Islands in the solution space.

We can think of them as disconnected families of non-standard solutions - solitons.

We can also think about them as topological defects in the set of solutions. We ordinarily expect the solution set of a differential equation to form a path connected set including the trivial solution. If there is some region of solutions that is topologically cut off from the ordinary solutions, we call its solutions topological defects. But these are nothing more than the solutions that can't be smoothly deformed into the zero solution.
Question - how can dependency hell be solved when using such a tool?

It seems so elegant and I love the "it just works" attitude, and I do understand that docker can't be used everywhere due to its technical (and mental) overhead, but I love it because it allows to isolate everything, freeze everything in time so running a container 5 years for now "just works".

In my humble workflow, I'm using lazydocker to manage the containers, gitlab workflow (action?) for deployment on push and a small VPS to build and push the containers to gitlab registry and to run it, on the same VPS. It's a little bit overkill - I could use a combination of a Dockerfile and a compose.yml with docker compose build. Also, I didn't figure out scaling yet. Good thing I don't need it! Otherwise I would swap docker for k8s and lazydocker for k9s.

(I'm open to suggestions. I just got into devops, and I love it!)
Give it time. GPT-4 is barely 14 months old. Things might look different in a year or two.

I don't think a language is complex just because it's not context free, since any language that supports syntactic macros of some sort are not context free. Neither M4 nor C++ are context free, but C++ is usually considered more complex than M4.

Still, multiple parsers and great tooling exist for C++, and the error messages have gotten much better in recent years. This is probably because companies needed them for different reasons, and they have the resources to build alternatives.
Many weird nerds are on the spectrum and require very good people managers above them to mitigate their quirks, and should never go into people management themselves.

The industry has really changed though. It is much easier to hire social well adapted people who can code at all than to hire a bunch of people with social problems who can code really good. The former is scalable at least, the latter breaks down as no one can get along.
The bot can use the LLM to scan for "interesting" information. It could read emails, see private documents, browsing histories, passwords, etc. Essentially a Recall system controlled by adversarial LLMs. That makes the bot much more dangerous.

If your goal is economics, it's dubious. If your goal is pleasure, it's subjective. If your goal is lifestyle, it's incredible at facilitating a particular lifestyle. Give it a small try and decide for yourself. Start as small as one square meter as an experiment. You have very little to lose.

No, the loop would have been slower. That is why they found the starting point with that bizarre two-instruction sequence. For any table size between (2^^n)+1 and 2^^(n+1), inclusive, it returned 2^^n as the starting point. Then of course it had to loop after that.
I like the idea of Creating an online Architecture job board! Upwork and others like this are not good places to find jobs or at least "good" jobs. You're spot on about its potential to reach a niche; however, I don't believe you have an advantage in giving access to a broader audience than traditional local channels like architecture magazines, newspapers, and personal referrals. because of that, you could have an opportunity to fill a gap in the market.

Consider tapping into the market for remote consulting services in architecture. While traditional architecture roles may not typically offer remote work, there's a high demand for specialized services like renderings, calculations, simulations, and compliance. Companies are increasingly seeking remote talent for these roles to access a broader pool and better talent. You could be the piece that will help companies make the jump to hire remote talent with confidence and help job seekers open their eyes to other kinds of opportunities.

I've personally helped friends find online architecture consulting jobs. If you're interested in exploring this, I'd love to have a chat. Just email me.

Best of luck with your product! I believe you're onto something!
There were a lot of practical attacks on poker PRNGs without enough internal state, where one could form a database of possible hands based on the first few cards.

I think the bare minimum requirement for a good shuffler is "all hands are possible." And then getting some more bits beyond that is good to debias it.
Yes, the weird nerd is rarely a good people manager. As useful as they might be as an individual contributor when property channeled, they can easily be a -10x contributor when you put them in charge of people.

People under 16 will still be able to legally create and use social media accounts in Spain. What they are raising is the age at which people are able to freely consent to the data processing that social media companies do.

The author bemoans that any org that is not sufficiently pro-weird-nerd becomes anti-weird-nerd, and in conjunction with this comment which laments the experience of working under one alongside my own experiences of similar, I think it's worth remarking that many Weird Nerds not only do not foster social skills of any sort, but in fact view this as a badge of honor, as "proof" of their weirdness, and just, I'm over that shit.

I love weird nerds, I love the sort of people who obsess about things, who work on them as obsessively as I do, I love info dumps, I love people who are passionate even about bizarre, niche shit I don't care about (actually, I love them even more for it!) but seriously. You need to be able to hold a conversation. You need to be able to talk productively with your fellow people, including difficult conversations. You need to open to negative feedback, to be able to take criticism or contrary viewpoints without turning into a puddle of some combination of depression/rage/self-hatred, or people are just not going to get on with you.

And I fully accept that autism runs through this pack of people like a freight train, and that's fair, I am always down to provide accommodations, I will talk to people how they need to be talked to, I will bend the norms of social interaction so it's more palatable, all of that, zero issues whatsoever. But even with that in consideration, relationships of all kinds are a give and take, and if all you do is take, people will notice, and people will avoid you.

Optimum – How we can stop wasting our renewable energy
I was asking for real world examples. Your hypothetical of someone saying LLMs can't code can be interpreted as "LLMs can't code without significant oversight from humans". Which is factual.

If I had a new hire that produced bugs and code that didn't work at the rate that LLMs produced bugs I would say they couldn't code.
The first half of the sentence ("women in STEM") is meant to reflect on the confounding approach to the person mentioned in the second half of the sentence, a woman in STEM. First half "YAY GIRL POWER GO!," second half is that same bunch of people, presumably the Twitterati in question, being down on an opinion held by a woman in STEM who, well, the Nobel Prize is pretty good as a confirmation that you are STEMming very hard, when what they ought to be doing is, "Hey, we were just talking about women in STEM, maybe we should not reflexively criticize the very model of the person we were praising when she has an opinion which might be new or troublesome to us."

The standard leaves it to the implementations/implementors to decide what to do. An implementation can check all these type constraints. It may not do it, for example, if code gets compiled with the opimization quality SAFETY of 0 (and possibly SPEED = 3) or similar. It may not do it all.

There are implementations which check these type constraints. So it is best to check the manual or ask the maintainers. IIRC there were implementations which added it on user requests.

But don't think all "Common Lisp" implementations will check those constraints, for example ABCL does not. Some don't and in others it can be turned off.
Tell me honestly that most weird nerds are not on the spectrum and I might be able to work up enough energy to clutch my pearls at this.

Somewhat. Some of the science behind behavioral economics relates to the fact that there are actually rationales behind certain preferences that aren't strictly about expected value. The utility of money is not a linear function. Etc.

People also don't understand statistics well as a whole, to be sure. But behavioral economics is also not purely about people being irrational.

Japan is not in the Occident.

By the way, the "solution" cited in the article is "divide the blue radius by 3", with no proof, so there's no superior mathematical prowess on display in this example.

The article says "Fukagawa Hidetoshi, a wasan researcher and former high school mathematics teacher who received his PhD from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, explains the problem and its solution as follows." but there is no explanation of the problem or it's solution.

Also, the article incorrectly transcribed the problem from the photograph into the computer diagram, and the original woodcut doesn't even show an eclipse (so maybe the Edo Japanese wasn't describing an ellipse at all),
and the problem doesn't make a whole lot of sense (the red and white circles are completely irrelevant to the problem) so the whole thing is suspect overall.

It's cool that Edo people were drawing pictures and writing about geometry, though.

Finally, the article title is a clickbait lie.
> But I wouldn't dismiss it because of it, as the "million bots that are out there" are hand-coded to exploit specific vulnerabilities

I would absolutely dismiss it if it's literally just an LLM sitting on top of bots and because there is an LLM involved now it's suddenly an agent. What is the LLM doing here that makes it more potent than existing techniques?

> However, these agents still perform poorly on real-world vulnerabilities that are unknown to the agent ahead of time (zero-day vulnerabilities).

Show HN: I made a Web shooter in C++ with no engine. Fully deterministic netcode
GitHub: https://github.com/TeamHypersomnia/Hypersomnia

- The netcode relies on full simulation determinism - this includes Box2D physics. I'm using standard floating-point calculations and rely on IEEE754 compliance. I also use STREFLOP for portable math function implementations. This is commonly done for RTS games with a lot of synchronized units, however this technique is rarely if ever seen in games with complex physics, esp. shooters.

- The atlas packer I wrote for the game was reused in Assassin's Creed, Skydio and received 2 scientific references: https://github.com/TeamHypersomnia/rectpack2D

- You can play ranked matches in the browser after signing in with Discord. Your MMR is based on the OpenSkill library.

- Browser clients and native clients (Windows, Linux, MacOS) can play on the same servers thanks to libdatachannel and datachannel-wasm. Host a server from your browser and connect from the Steam version, or vice versa.

- I use LLVM to build it for all platforms: Windows, Linux, MacOS. I use Emscripten to compile it to WebAssembly.

- There were significant challenges in making Box2D suitable for this, e.g. it comes without operator= so I had to implement complete cloning of the physical world for when I have to roll back the predicted world to reconcile it with the server state. Note it's not enough to just recreate the b2World from velocities and positions - you have to clone all contacts, generated trees, and all cached state so that the order of subsequent operations stays identical.

"Performer who is a diva" is not directly about focusing on one thing at the expense of another. Performers are trained to be divas by having no real friends willing to confront them, and by being infantilized by the people around them who lie about their faults, are excessively accommodating of bullshit, and don't ever make them take responsibility for mistakes or reflect on their impact on other people. The result is often the same for people in positions of authority, such as CEOs. Cf. Elon Musk.

To my understanding: one of the biggest outstanding research areas around LLMs is that we don't actually understanding all that well how much they "remember" vs. infer.

This is at the centerpiece of the ongoing lawsuits from newspapers against OpenAI: ChatGPT didn't just summarize articles, but appears to be capable of reproducing them verbatim[1].

(But even separately from this: the LLM doesn't need to store verbatim details from the pre-CVE-labeled vulnerability to poison the experiment here. Being trained on it at all poisons the experiment, since it's no longer an 0day.)

No, I mean the large contingent of people who literally say that all the code, and all the images, produced by LLMs exist on the web already and that LLMs are just search engines. This is not a hypothetical.
