I am not sure. I have seen many reports of people turning to ChatGPT for self-healing practices, almost therapy-like exchanges. In some ways, despite the largely "corpus & stats/tokens based approach", those exchanges can be more empathetic than what most people meet in real life. Something that you would expect from a good life companion :-)

No need to open ports if it’s installed on devices, ACLs, tailscale SSH, taildrop, DNS.
You need people who have strong guarantees their jobs will remain remote, or can be swapped when they need a new remote job. Private industry is never going to be a component in this regard (until remote/flexible work gets codified as a right, when possible, in labor law), but you could do it with federal government jobs (many of which already support this flexibility).

Until then, workers will be forced to live where there is a lack of housing because jobs require it.

It seems you're interested in proving your world view rather than finding (easily available) solutions to your problems (the whole argument was pure hypocrisy - you're asking about native dependencies that ship with OS, that isn't MIT, instead of using e.g. Linux, if that's what you care about). You did not even follow the initial easy steps to set up a project or did not look up basic CLI commands like dotnet new or dotnet sln to easily manage whatever you're working with (it's easier than Go and similar to Rust's cargo).

I have never seen a programmer struggle this much, failing to follow basic list of steps and ending up at the strange links from google, so my point in the previous reply continues to be relevant. Hell, an acquaintance of mine managed to get NativeAOT compilation working on the second try despite exotic NixOS setup and having zero experience with .NET beforehand.

And mind you, my first job was first level of customer support, so there were a fair share of users that misread the messages, and this case is like one of those bad ones. And, you know, the users who have a problem usually at least make an attempt to understand, as they are invested in solving it. But because you are invested in the opposite, no amount of explanation will help.

Note to readers: do not follow the structure at the link, it's outdated and refers to personal template preferred by David Fowler, you don't need all of that and it was also created during the days of .NET Core 1.

There are two main "project manifest"-like files that .NET uses: .csproj (or .fsproj and similar) to declare projects, and .sln to group multiple projects together. Those are managed with `dotnet new {templateName}` and `dotnet new sln` then `dotnet sln add/remove {path/to/project}`. Everything else is optional.

Every criticism, like this one, of spreadsheets getting unwieldy and confusing and difficult to untangle is entirely applicable to most internal code bases as well. Technical debt, old languages, uncommented code blocks, obsolete anti-patterns, tied to some vendor product or github repo that has been discontinued/abandoned, code copy-and-pasted from Stack Overflow (or ChatGPT generated) that nobody ever understood, horribly inefficient database calls, etc etc.

Further, even a big messy Excel model (including VBA code) is usually self-contained in a single file, while a code-based model can be dozens or hundreds of files, many of which are support libraries for stuff that's built-in to Excel (front-end, vector math, charting). And lets not get started on breaking up a model into distributed microservices!
I'm convinced in a few hundred/thousand years scientists are going to be urging politicians to figure out how to pump more CO2 into the atmosphere due to cooling from cyclic perturbations of Earth's orbit. Too bad I won't be around to enjoy the irony.

I'm all for backing the regulatory pressure that has allowed this constant improvement (consider that flights per year have increased while the trendlines in those graphs have decreased) but I'm going to need to see that accident number reach about 100x what it is right now before I care about it enough to personally switch flights. The commercial aerospace side of Boeing has over 10,000 engineers, several of them have probably said we didn't land on the moon too. The way their management has handled decline in their record is at least a fair point just not nearly bad enough yet for me to really care as often as articles about it get posted here or enough to switch flights yet.
You could have gotten rid of the middle paragraph. It’s not fluff. These are valid technical points. Issues most companies would rather (reasonably) pay to not have to deal with.

And do you really think you can offer better security and uptime than AWS? Not impossible but very expensive if you’re managing everything from your own hardware. You clearly vastly underestimate all that AWS is taking care of.
Closed it as soon as I saw that green. Just a bad design.
You can also just directly connect to containers using Tailscale if it's just for internal use. That is, having an internally addressable `https://container_name` on your tailnet per-container if you want. This way I can setup Immich for example and it's just on my tailnet at `https://immich` without the need for a reverse proxy, etc...

That was an enjoyable read. I, too, when I was a child sometimes thought the same thing about my C64 “magically” being able to load some game-related images with just a few lines of code that are… just somewhere inside it? A super bizarre thought, but as a child you’re still prone to a lot of magical thinking.

> and the convoluted logic "440 IF <condition> GOTO 450“

To expand a little bit on that, while some instances in the code of your book could indeed use some cleanup (line 440 is especially egregious), the code in the book was likely written for the common BASICs of home computers of the time, which only operated on line numbers and had very limited branching statements?

The BASIC you use seems to be “structured”, which was extremely unusual for home computers of the time. I just recently saw that a C64 magazine from 1984 spent at least 3 issues of the magazine on a lengthy article series that introduced the readers to the wonders of structured programming!

The severe restrictions of the IF statement made assembly-language style conditional branches (using GOTO) extremely common and necessary.

You definitely could not nest IFs (as done in your code), so if you wanted to combine IFs together, you had to jump over the ones not taken. Commodore/C64’s BASIC (effectively Microsoft BASIC) did not even have ELSE, so usually ELSE had to be implemented with a negated condition and jumping over what would be the “ELSE” branch.

C64 BASIC did however have the interesting quirk that any other statement on the same line would belong to the THEN, e.g.

10 IF A=1 THEN PRINT “FOO” : PRINT “BAR”

Would print FOO BAR if A=1, and nothing otherwise. This of course worked only so far as you could fit statements on a (limited) single BASIC line. Other BASIC dialects would consider the PRINT “BAR” to not belong to the ELSE anymore, which is syntactically cleaner, but could be less convenient depending on what else the dialect offered.

A lot of the convenience and rigor we take as granted today wasn’t there. C64 BASIC seemed especially “dirty” to me, having lots of bizarre quirks that are more the result of its implementation. (Another random instance: Every function had to have an argument, whether it was required or not, so you had to write something like “?FRE(123)” to print the amount of free memory, where the 123 did not matter at all.)

> it's about how people use them

Lol. "How people use them" is entirely a question of "how the manufacturer lets people use them".

Somehow it is ok that Sony and Nintendo have defined their consoles as "not a general purpose computer", while it is not ok for Apple to define their device as "not a general purpose computer".

What you are actually asking for is that companies should impose more restrictions on what people can do, lest they be targeted as gatekeepers.

> market penetration is.

Yet "hometown" companies like Spotify are mysteriously absent from the list of gatekeepers. And iPad OS, despite not meeting the thresholds defined for gatekeepers has been added "because we felt like it".
In practice, you can only (reasonably) minimize your odds of flying on Boeing. That means "no" to Southwest Airlines. It means "yes" to Frontier Airlines, whose entire fleet consists only of Airbus planes. Thank goodness where I'm located and often need to go to are well-served by Frontier Airlines!

BUT - many airlines operate a mixed fleet. Book on an Airbus. They rarely change planes, but if they do, say your prayers! Unless you have tickets easily allowing you to re-book, which most of us aren't purchasing.
> Either the universe is fully deterministic and free will and agency do not exist, and we should be much kinder to people who e.g. commit crimes (they were forced to do it by their brain state, after all)...

I don't think that's consistent, as the same reasoning applies to the people (i.e. the 'we' in your statement) who will, in some way or perhaps not at all, censure the perpetrator of said crime.

In other words, if full determinism removes agency from the perpetrator, then it also removes it from everyone else.
This is disgusting.

I did not know that Microsoft offers these tools to organizations.
I'm honestly shocked that this exists.
They'll 100% abuse preview to offer similar features in the future.

Over the last years/decade, they worked hard to improve their image in the tech community, and I have to admit, it worked, at least for me.
They've just lost all the respect I had for them.
Even before Nadella, MS took insane risks with Windows. Ballmer oversaw the disastrous Windows 8 wigh the fullscreen Start Menu, which was hated far more than Vista ever was. W8 didn't even last 3 years before being replaced by Win10.

And that's to say nothing of the decade-long attempt to compete with Google and Apple in mobile with Windows Phone/RT/Nokia, which Nadella mercifully unwound.

Not many people in the world are capable of any of those lifts for 1 rep, let alone many.

Screen recording is Data.

How is this cynical? In what way have evilCorps of any name/brand shown you in the past that this is not exactly what will happen? Even Apple's CSAM back pedaling hasn't been long enough ago to see what the next attempt at it will be.

I do not trust anyone attempting to make money on AI that will not ultimately just be a data hoover for whatever model it is they are using. That's being generous in their motives. Anyone that is trying to hide their ulterior motives of out right spying would use this as the perfect cover.

So, am I an asshole in assuming everyone has nefarious intent or are you a good sheeple for giving people benefit of the doubt?
If "this" is temporarily backing off the surveillance frog boil because they went too fast, then the Kinect is clearly not an example. It has been over ten years since the launch of the Xbox One and they never did anything surveillancey with the consoles.

I always wonder about this. I tend to assume that people like Bezos and Musk aren't stupid, but rather saying what people want to hear. "Colonize Mars" is more inspiring than "launch a lot of stuff into orbit" to people I guess. And the latter may well be worth the money to humanity.
Counterpoint:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming

> Cargo cult programming is a style of computer programming characterized by the ritual inclusion of code or program structures that serve no real purpose.

> Cargo cult programming can also refer to the practice of applying a design pattern or coding style blindly without understanding the reasons behind that design principle.

Arguably, designing a presentation in a particular way out of habit or convention would fall under one or both of these definitions.

It's a common vernacular usage.

> As awareness of cargo cults spread in the West, they became a metaphor for empty promises and rituals, used most prominently by physicist Richard Feynman. The term "cargo-cult programming" appeared in version 2.5.1 of the Jargon File, a glossary of computing slang, released in January 1991.
What I really want JS/TS is one of my favorite features about Swift:

Throwing functions in Swift don't throw traditional exceptions (please someone up the stack catch this). Throwing an error in Swift actually returns an Error to the calling function instead of that function's normal result type. Swift also enforces that when you call code that might "throw" (return an error instead of a result) you either handle the error or "rethrow" it.

In TS I use this pattern:

`type ErrorThrowingFunction = <T,>() => T|Error`

But it's not nearly as nice to use in TS since it's not a language feature.

>Subsidizing childcare is also "more money", but only for some workers. If the others don't notice or don't care that they're getting paid less for the same work that's great for the company.

Such an american thing to say.

No, we don't mind having the company pay colleagues' children childcare on top of our (equal to theirs) salary. We'd hate to be in a society where such a petty mindset would be common, that would be living in some kind of social hell.
This is probably endemic to Big Tech now -- the chorus of AI, AI, AI is still growing, and that's all the execs want more of.
> Losing the documents and data from the hand luggage may cause very serious problems that could need many months of work for solving and passing through many unpleasant experiences until then.

Rather go through the months of work solving problem and having unpleasant experiences than be dead.

And you can be confident anyone holding me up in an emergency for mere documents and papers is going to experience immediate unpleasantness that they aren't going to solve.

Why are you using an alternate alias to reply to me? Did you get confused and mix up your aliases? I just have one.
Yes, it would need to be implemented gradually. It would be enough to start by slowly shifting taxes from buildings and improvements and onto land values. This would only negatively affect those with a greater than average amount of their home value in the land rather than the house, and maybe those people should have a fire lit under them during an housing crisis. Everyone recognizes that housing should be cheaper, just so long as it's not their house that's cheaper, and they're too busy wondering why their children haven't started families yet to notice the contradiction.

If you have an alternative solution that would drive investment and lower housing prices, I'd love to hear it. Most of the solutions I've seen proposed are some form of dumping money on the fire in the hopes of cooling things off. Housing too expensive? Here's a first-time home-buyer's tax credit.

The tax exempt hedge funds that also provide post-secondary education are another matter entirely.
The idea of philosophical zombies has something in common with solipsism, which is where everybody else is a zombie, and hey, maybe the universe is a simulation too. But the argument against this is that if the universe (and its population) is perfectly simulated, then it's exactly equivalent to real, and that means it is real - or the zombie is a real person, if we're just discussing one "perfectly simulated" person. Otherwise, if the simulation is just very very good, we're talking about something less relevant to arguments.
I don’t mean this to be rude, but wake up and smell the coffee already.

The reason why Silicon Valley has got to where it is with the complete erosion of user privacy is naive individuals not being able to see far in front of them. Recall isn’t just one event, it’s an accumulation of a thousand tiny events to the point where Microsoft are so up their own arses that they assumed this would be an easy hole in one. Because it usually is.

And they will just slip it in regardless. This is just a PR thing. Mark my words, Recall will be back with a new name and slipped in with an update at some point and it will be enabled without the user even wanting it. Or coerced out of the user. Microsoft want people’s data, whether for their own greed or because they’ve been asked to by the NSA. Regardless, Recall is coming, and the public will be naive about its true intentions. Microsoft will win this in the end.
Ollama is not as powerful as llama.cpp or raw pytorch, but it is almost zero effort to get started.

brew install ollama; ollama serve; ollama pull llama3: 8b-v2.9-q5_K_M; ollama run llama3: 8b-v2.9-q5_K_M

https://ollama.com/library/dolphin-llama3:8b-v2.9-q5_K_M

(It may need to be Q4 or Q3 instead of Q5 depending on how the RAM shakes out. But the Q5_K_M quantization (k-quantization is the term) is generally the best balance of size vs performance vs intelligence if you can run it, followed by Q4_K_M. Running Q6, Q8, or fp16 is of course even better but you’re nowhere near fitting that on 8gb.)

https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1ba55rj/overvie...

Dolphin-llama3 is generally more compliant and I’d recommend that over just the base model. It's been fine-tuned to filter out the dumb "sorry I can't do that" battle, and it turns out this also increases the quality of the results (by limiting the space you're generating, you also limit the quality of the results).

https://erichartford.com/uncensored-models

https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.13449

Most of the time you will want to look for an "instruct" model, if it doesn't have the instruct suffix it'll normally be a "fill in the blank" model that finishes what it thinks is the pattern in the input, rather than generate a textual answer to a question. But ollama typically pulls the instruct models into their repos.

(sometimes you will see this even with instruct models, especially if they're misconfigured. When llama3 non-dolphin first came out I played with it and I'd get answers that looked like stackoverflow format or quora format responses with ""scores"" etc, either as the full output or mixed in. Presumably a misconfigured model, or they pulled in a non-instruct model, or something.)

Dolphin-mixtral:8x7b-v2.7 is where things get really interesting imo. I have 64gb and 32gb machines and so far the Q6 and q4-k_m are the best options for those machines. dolphin-llama3 is reasonable but dolphin-mixtral is a richer better response.

I’m told there’s better stuff available now, but not sure what a good choice would be for for 64gb and 32gb if not mixtral.

Also, just keep an eye on r/LocalLLaMA in general, that's where all the enthusiasts hang out.
