I miss BeOS. I ran it as my full time desktop OS at home and work for a good 1.5-2 years and there has never really been anything like that feeling - it was so "fast" and had so many nice little touches.
Every LLM answr ever... "You asked a question about sorting linked lists, but it is important to be respectful and not promote harmful stereotypes and always keep in mind that black people were systematically discriminated against in technical fields"
Are humans conscious? I have learned to note when they are not, when they are talking and unaware of their surroundings, and stand next to them and say to others "They're not conscious right now, they can't hear what I'm saying". You would think this would be incredibly rare, but it's more common than I ever expected. Awareness of surroundings does not equal consciousness, but "consciousness" measures can can assume things that are not always true.
> Indeed, there are two types of people in that regard

> One thinks in words

No. There are people who believe they think in words, because they haven't bothered to examine the question, but there are no people who think in words.

Think about the number of people you've ever seen do a double take at the idea that "I don't know how to put this into words".

On Reddit he doesn't even bother lying, he just straight up admits being a conman.

The front facing cameras were fogged. Just fixed that, but it’s still driving right justified all the way into the adjacent lane. Something is broken. NTSB time.
You only really answer question 2 of your parent, and they obviously meant for someone operating a Matrix server with regards to their users. It's pretty well summarized in Patrick Breyer's sumary page[0]:

> Only non-commercial services that are not ad-funded, such as many open source software, are out of scope

> How do you even ensure a client is actually self-reporting?

This is an interesting technical question whether or not it's covered by the actual proposal. How do you ensure that Messenger for instance is

1. actually doing the reporting, and not someone simply bypassing the app to keep sending e2ee chats without them being client-side scanned. That would most likely be against ToS and accounts would maybe get banned if doing so

2. prevent against spam reporting, where someone could basically DoS the reporting service with false positives

> If a photo are flagged, will it appear in a GDPR access request?

There are a bunch of dispositions in the draft concerning personal data protection (ctrl+f personal data to find the relevant articles). It also states pretty much everywhere that processing should be done in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, more commonly known as GDPR.

[0] https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/

What really bugs me though, is this:

> Having regard to the availability of technologies that can be used to meet the
requirements of this Regulation whilst still allowing for end-to-end encryption, nothing in this Regulation should be interpreted as prohibiting, requiring to disable, or making end-to-end encryption impossible. Providers should remain free to offer services using end-to-end encryption and should not be obliged by this Regulation to decrypt data or create access to end-to-end encrypted data

I believe this was added as a request from France, which didn't want E2EE to be undermined by this proposal. However, the provider would need to "create access to end-to-end encrypted data" to report it to the EU Centre. Although the following article states that E2EE can still be used if you don't send images, videos and URLs, so I guess that's the compromise?
I guess my system got immuned to such things after TS/JS coding, but if 20% of community will say it has "hidden magic" I'm not excited too.

Fast learning curve for new hires is a top golang feature for me too.
In the future you can't have any bad days or you will get pre-crimed.

"If you aren't a criminal you would be on Soma. The only reason people aren't on Soma is so that they can claim the AI was wrong and they were just having a bad day."

It's wild to get to live in a reality only dreamed about. On the plus side that train ride will be nicer when the people conducting 'fart suppression' get pulled before boarding, so I'd mark that one up as positive use case.
> Elixir is very much its own language on the Erlang platform

Huh -- so, Elixir has some new semantics, rather than just being "Erlang with Ruby syntax?" I hadn't known that -- but admittedly I'm not an Erlang/Elixir dev.
Where did you get that idea? 86% of Gen Z members (with a credit score, and you usually need one to rent) have a credit card in the US: https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/research/gen-z-a...
I'm not a domain expert in epigenetics, but in grad school for bioinformatics I did a bunch of research on nucleosome positioning[0] which is epigenetics-adjacent.

"Epigenetic memory" is the term of art I was taught in grad school. Either they've changed that in the last 10 years, or ch4s3 is attempting to assert a different definition of "memory" than the one used in the field.

They are also incorrect. DNA methylation is an actual methyl group chemically binding to an actual DNA nucleotide, and staying there. When we flip a bit on a hard drive platter we call that "memory" as well.

>However I don't want to support another company that is inevitably going to go subscription

why not buy Affinity now and use it until you need to upgrade? unless there's some horrible TOS, I'm sure that tool as is will last you 5+ years before some new hit feature drops in.
To me the big take-aways here are:

1) Most of the heavy lifting is being done by search. We're talking about having the LLM generate thousands of candidate solutions, and they're mostly bad enough that "just pick the ones that get kinda close on the examples" is a meaningful operation.

2) More samples improves performance despite the fact that GPT-4o's vision is not capable of parsing the inputs. I'm curious how much performance would degrade if you shuffled the images passed to the model (but used the correct images when evaluating which candidates to keep).

3) It's definitely true that the LLM has to be giving you something more than random programs. At the very least, the LLM knows how to craft parsimonious programs that are more likely to be the solution. It may be that it's providing more than that, but it's not clear to me exactly how much information on the correct search space is coming from the hand-crafted examples in the prompt.

Overall, the work to get this far is very impressive, but it doesn't really move the needle for me on whether GPT-4 can do ARC puzzles. It does, however, show me that search is surprisingly powerful on this task.
It's a permissive license. The licensor is saying “I own copyright in this work, which gives me the right to give you permission to do whatever you want with it.”
Nice site, this’s a very useful platform.
I’m using Go daily. Usually new features in Go are addressing some real need or pain point, or standardizing on something that’s become fragmented in the 3p ecosystem. So I’m a little confused with the proposal – maybe I’m living in a parallel Go universe, but I don’t think I have ever needed or even wanted iterators. Can someone point to a real world use case where these iterators really make things better?
And not even once the product is good enough. It’s like suggesting devs should quit after closing a single ticket.
"people must have ... or else they would have" isn't usually an attempt at a statement of fact. It might be better to paraphrase to make your point. It's possible to know a lot in many situations, be fooled or harmed much less than others, be right most of the time, and still be fooled or harmed. Animals that can be dangerous to humans are a safety issue, not a statistics or awareness issues—you can only be badly wrong once to suffer serious harm.
Every single use case of LLMs inherently sacrifices quality, whether the developers are willing to admit it or not. I agree with you though that there aren't many use cases where end users would knowingly accept the trade off.
The answer to this question is out there, but the reports are not published yet.

I caution readers to not make rash judgements on their skill like this though. These bugs are really hard to find, and it was a minor miracle that I noticed these ones at all. I actually had a whole list of critical bugs in this codebase ready to report before the V2 upgrade was merged to master (which would put it in scope for a bounty). However the auditors managed to find every single bug on my list. I only noticed the ones that eventually made it here later, by a stroke of luck, and after I had already spent a ton of time looking at this codebase without noticing them.
Ah yes, the city built yesterday is nicer than the city built 100 years ago. And the point is?

China funded all that pretty infrastructure on massive local debt that the fees are not covering. Will be interesting to see how that works out long term.

Edit: I love China. I love the chinese people. I loved Shanghai of the 2010s. I've worked with a ton of amazing chinese developers in the Bay Area that were stranded after tiananmen, and I'm sad for their tragedy but they were definitely a boon to the USA. I don't think Americans are superior to Chinese in any way. I also don't think a new building/infrastructure being nicer than old buildings/infrastructure proves anything anyone who upgraded to a new car from an old one doesn't already know.
When the post I'm replying to is "I remember installing Windows on new PCs that came with DR DOS in the early 2000s," then yes.

If you don't want to pay for the car, why are you complaining about car dealerships? I don't think anyone here is opposed to the concept of paying for professional tooling in any way, shape, nor form.
Why do people focus so much on that random side comment from Pike during one talk he gave a long time ago? It's hardly the language philosophy and it's really hard to believe that Pike actually thinks Google programmers are bad or even average given that he has seen the hiring process.
Most wax paper and kraft paper is made using PFAS, and has for a very long time, as ‘forever wax’ is the most durable, tasteless, and chemically inert.

[https://cen.acs.org/materials/coatings/PFAS-paper-food-packa...]

Most plastic is not safe to reuse for the same uses, as the plastic is a little porous and is nearly impossible to properly clean to a sanitary level once exposed to certain types of chemicals or other contaminants. And it is exceptionally difficult and expensive to effectively test for them.

Think of the stains Tupperware would get if you left something with tomato sauce in it too long.

Now think of the equivalent of ‘community Tupperware’ - except someone stored pesticide in one of them before turning it in.

Glass generally doesn’t have this issue.
> They are "legally required" to treat some people like all the other people their business supports in public - to do otherwise is the definition of segregation.

But of course, segregation is allowed in some circumstances. Like a women only gym is common sense even if it's segregation, so too is tackle football being only for men.

Racial segregation is more universally decried in almost all forms (except acting a part!).

Is same-sex relationships like gender or like race or like something else entirely? We're still figuring it out. It was very recently that we all thought there was a strong genetic basis for same-sex attraction, but now, after sequencing the entire human genome, we know there isn't. So these things are in flux, I don't think the cake thing is as black and white as most people make it out to be.
How do you miss the main point? The SPAC materials are immaterial until an acquisition is made. Plenty of things to not like about Altman but this is not one of them.
> Besides, Japan might ask for reparations one day.

For the 72 other Japanese cities thoroughly levelled just as Hiroshima and Nagasaki were, or just for the two cities each destroyed by a single bomb?

Regardless of what the film showed or not there's no shortage of public domain material showing the destruction in Japan and side by side comparisons of the firebombing of Tokyo against the ruins of Hiroshima.

It's hard to see the argument that this one film would make or break a reparations claim.
Came here to say this, plus add a little personal insight to the future of email.

I've run 5 or 6 different mail servers over the past 10 years. Originally before O365 I was an exchange admin, then postfix, iRed, mailcow, mail gun, you name it. Hosted on every cloud provider, even in our colo with part of a private /24 allocation with good reputation (built since 1997, gawdamn). Every sort of header combination, tls setup, and no blacklists. Always 100% alignment, including strict rejection policy (best results even over quarantine).

Does not matter, if you're sending from custom domain not handled through a big name, expect the spam box with Gmail. Yahoo and Outlook are fine, but Gmail is the bane.

I've spent maybe 100 hours of my own over this last year and know what I realized? Nobody cares about email anymore, except for automated account management stuff (login, PW reset). Businesses pay the $3 /mo / seat for fastmail and don't think twice.

But the current trend is toward social chat (discord or Whatsapp) and most the people who own an iPhone just use their apple ID email for everything.

Although I am a fervent supporter of open protocols and believe email (with pgp signing) is an awesome long form communication format... Face it, it's going the way of the fax machine.
This is why the concept of consciousness is largely nonsense.

The person that is blacked out is not unconscious. They just are not storing memories in order to remember the experience after the fact.

Can you see it? It is right in front of you that consciousness doesn't exist. It is right in your own example. It is a 21st century superstition and English language flaw. People cling to this idea the way people use to cling to the idea of a soul and some still do.

Like the soul, if you just get rid of the idea and word, nothing changes other than clarity in the language of what we are actually talking about instead of this ill-defined nonsense.

Do animals have a soul? It is the same question.

To come at it a different way. We can't be free of superstition and nonsense in 2024. There must be things we believe are true that simply aren't true and will look silly 300 years from now. What else do people believe in so admittedly in 2024 even though there is not just zero evidence for but we can't even define what we are talking about? It is prime suspect #1 to me when it comes to this category.
I'm not familiar with the whole situation - what would they be prosecuted for? Violation of copyright? Or is this some sort of 'everything is securities fraud' situation?
The heads of the research once wrote about that. They called it a "Hybrid Approach to Research" (as other comments pointed out).

Search for "March of Dimes Syndrome" on Wikipedia and the topic does not exist. But now it can. The first paragraph if published on wikipedia would be loaded with [citation needed] as in 'this claim needs references to reliable sources'.
To my eyes, Altman appears to be joking.
The fact that there can be a thumb on the scale is (or should be) well known by now. Since the thumb is invisible, though, we can never truly know unless it's directly addressed, which was the case with this one. +1 to the other commenter's suggestion of visibly marking manual moderation activity (vs. algorithmic voodoo which is more understandably opaque). We've already got the [flagged] tag that transparently shows end-user moderation activity.
>The actuarial table for any given software release is north of 5 years and south of 10.

even at full price, $200 for 5 years of usage from a professional tool seems pretty good for me. That's $3.33/month if you want to convert to the subscription model way or thinking.

No way any potential subscription model would be cheaper here if you are in it for the long haul.
Yeah, Reason is supported in that sense. But when the last blog post on their site is from Aug. 2018 [0], that gives me an uneasy feeling.

It's kind of funny how the church of absolute simplicity above all things have became so dominant.

As someone who has seen the cost of C++ templates metaprogramming wizardry gone wild I understand part of this reaction. I reckon we would have a real talent shortage bigger by orders of magnitude if we required familiarity with Alexandrescus' Modern C++ Programming and Herb Sutter's Exceptional C++ to onboard new programmers in a project.

Yeah, definitelly there's such a thing in programming as "too clever".

But should we so radically into the opposite direction? Should we sacrifice any attempt at expressiveness into the altar of simplicity? Aren't we going too far into the opposite direction?
That entire paragraph is mostly a strawman, or, if you're feeling charitable, coming from an extremely surface-level awareness of the actual issues they're talking about.
Real question: Does modern Gmail use a web framework, like React? My assumption: Gmail has been reimplemented multiple times over the years to adapt to web app changes, but the end user feels very little difference (except speed?).
>"I'd love to see a world where more companies self-host the wiki for their game/TV show/etc, especially given the relatively low cost of deploying and hosting..."

I think the next best thing is when a company hosts their own forums where the community and in some cases the devs are active in answering questions. As long as forums are well-moderated then they naturally evolve into an knowledge base. X3:Terran Conflict comes to mind, along with IL-2 Sturmovik, which has good official forums and some excellent unofficial forums.
If I’m reaching for the script, it's because I’m already in a scenario where Proofpoint has quarantined legitimate email for failing SPF checks (we use Proofpoint too). So the script itself doesn’t do any analysis of the existing SPF record. It just shows them the existing record and tells them how to fix it based on the sender's IP for the email in question.
Should I be able to make wild claims about my product to trick you into buying it? False claims about my buisness performance to pump the stock? Lies about your character? Your kids? made up stuff that whips up entire segments of your city to commit violence or vandalism against you?

Why build all that infrastructure when the same use case is already being met with airplanes? The USA serves it's tier 3 cities much more efficiently with a few plane routes than building an entire high speed rail would.

Again, China's high speed rail utilization is not even able to pay for it's initial build out, and is very under utilized as it goes to tier 3 locations that don't justify it. Will be interesting to see how it plays out once 'maintenance debt' (technical debt but for infrastructure) gets added to the 'build out debt'. If those tier 3 cities turn tier 1 it will look like genius investment, but I don't see it happening.
Maybe it is just me, but I have a very hard time reading Go in general. I have a hard time with e.g. type annotations without a colon or an arrow. The := operator does not read fluently, and I always have to think about what it does to the variable binding (in python the := reads just fine).

Also, whenever I encounter multiple returns it feels very cluttered and I have to stop and think what the heck is going on.

And finally the the capitalization of variable does horrors to my understanding of the code that I’m reading, I know what it is for, but as I’m reading code, if a function being used is an imported from somewhere else is not a meaningful information, and just confuses me.

I bet there is more, but these are some of the examples I’m consciously aware of
Many of our emails were blocked because our SPF record was correct for our domain, but not correct for the Return-Path domain. There is no mention of Return-Path in the guide, but it's essential to get this right.

This is a cool idea. If I read it correctly, are you suggesting that MDN create a parallel doc tree, like "web apps", that introduces HTML/CSS/JS with the specific aim of building vanilla web apps? I am sure that it would be popular.
So, I guess the "grandma killers" that everyone hated, who wanted to wait for the mRNA vaccines to be tested, were ... right?

> Given the huge number of recent anti LGBTQ+ laws that have been created in the last few years, it is quite apparent that the exact opposite is true.

Something about this type of framing always gives me pause. Because lumping in the current slate of gender-assigned-at-sex-is-your-gender laws with laws about not teaching sexuality-related topics in schools with laws about who can access financial and legal marriage benefits feels disingenuous to me.

They are different topics with different consequences and which say different things about our society. Each is not simply a matter of pro or anti LGBTQ+.

And it feels like an attempt to dissuade us from really discussing the issues at the core of each to frame them all as such.

> meanwhile its creator is heavily involved in running for-profit Fandom that just so happens to solve that problem?

My understanding is that the series of events was - stuff kept getting rejected from wikipedia, so jimmy and some other people made wikicities (now fandom). I dont think its coincidence that jimmy saw a business oportunity, but wikipedia rejecting stuff came first, and jimmy does not control wikipedia processes.
