I agree in the abstract, but I think that’s encompassed by my point that the Republican base wants to fight fire with fire: https://youtu.be/iRYB6N8fBKQ?si=-bSwtvosf-o4PE0z.

I think “principled Republicans” don’t know what time it is. Trump’s only mistake was not saying “I formally concede” before spending years saying the election was stolen. That’s the new normal and has been since 2000.
This made me wonder, what use was diff without patch?

But then I remembered diff -e which produces an ed script. In the 5th and 6th edition the -e option was simply - https://man.cat-v.org/unix-6th/1/diff I guess the reason for the non-ed output is to include the text of the deleted lines.

The diff3 utility (which arrived in the 7th edition https://man.cat-v.org/unix_7th/1/diff3) can be used as a sort of combined diff and patch, again with the help of ed, but it seems a bit awkward.

I think merge arrived as part of RCS? at least, that’s the way it is packaged now. (POSIX has neither RCS nor merge https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/idx/im.html) Curiously I can’t find any sign of a merge facility in SCCS – maybe I am missing something; SCCS terminology is a bit weird.

The crucial ingredients for pre-git open source workflows are context diffs, plus patch. Including the context makes the diff a lot easier to review without applying it, and it allows patch to be much more robust against concurrent changes. As far as I can tell, diff -c first appeared in 4BSD in 1980 https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4BSD/usr/man/cat1... It predates the start of the CSRG SCCS history of diff.c https://svnweb.freebsd.org/csrg/usr.bin/diff/diff/diff.c?vie... As the maintainer of unifdef I am greatly amused by diff’s -Dstring cpp mode.
can you comment on what those 500 lines actually were? react+redux?
This is cool. I clicked "deep learning models" and the results were ok, but some of them were out of date. It would be great if all of the threads were recent (within the last week or so).
There is some conflation between consciousness and intelligence going on. Consciousness is subjective experiences. Intelligence is cognitive ability. There isn’t a necessary link between the two. We can say LLMs are intelligent but not conscious. We could say a lizard is conscious but not that intelligent.
Kindof, but there was a ton of work done on ActionScript 3 making it all ECMA (?) compliant and there was a heck of a lot of road left on that. It was TypeScript before there was modern Javascript. And that could have been parlayed into a different runtime, like Haxe did. Flash the runtime had many problems, but the IDE and tools behind them were mature and well-understood.
I recently set up a mailchimp tenant for someone and was surprised that their email authentication wizard pretty much began and ended with DKIM. I'm way too used to b2b solutions that want the equivalent of a chmod+999 before it can run a hello world.
I do this as well. It's very handy (no pun intended).
> I don't think AIs are moral entities/are capable of being harmed or that training AIs and teaching humans are comparable.

Notice how this is a completely different argument that has nothing in common with what you originally said - "I don't understand the take that training an AI is an amoral act but aligning an AI is inherently moral. They're exactly the same, processes for adjusting parameters to get a desired outcome. However you feel about that desired outcome, if you don't think training an AI is torture, I don't see why you should think alignment is."
The only thing that I've seen on the topic is this:

> Results reveal that water-, molten salt–, and sodium-cooled SMR designs will increase the volume of nuclear waste in need of management and disposal by factors of 2 to 30.

> ... In addition, SMR spent fuel will contain relatively high concentrations of fissile nuclides, which will demand novel approaches to evaluating criticality during storage and disposal.

Sorry just to be clear the accusation is that he was effectively working for the Russians knowingly and the plan was to leak as much source and methods style information as widely as possible but under the cover of an independent whistleblower with the explicit goal of degrading US capabilities as much as possible.

Essentially that his motivations were something entirely different to his version of events.

It’s ultimately an impossible question to answer most likely.

His stated motivations make sense on the surface for sure but I think there are still some big questions around assuming it’s all true, what steps did he take along the way to minimise unnecessary damage and I can’t recall much on that front worth pointing to.

Hot take time: React is the most corporate framework to have ever corporated in the history of corporate, designed for one thing first and foremost: To make high turnover easier so they can fire you at any time and replace you with the next guy in line who'll already know how the entire thing works... because there is only one stupid way to do things in React. You either like it or it feels like pulling teeth.

I'm up for cheering for literally any alternative. Any.
Yeah that is what I was trying to get at. In such a case I certainly hope the likes of WF would reap what they sowed.
Well, probably by being much more selective about what we put in than just training on the most cheap and large corpus that is the internet.

This is not a technical limitation at all, this is purely about cost and time, and companies wanting to save on both.

There are also methods like RAG that try to give them access to fixed datasets rather than just the algorithmic representations of their training data.
The most important difference between YouTube and any other video entertainment service is that they do not pre-audit content creators and content. Anybody and everybody can publish there and start building their audience. You don't have to be from the right family, have the right political connections and right political opinions, or do unspeakable sexual acts for casting managers. You can be independent, and unlike Instagram, Facebook and etc, you can make money on your work.
TSMC already sells to those companies, so I don't think that addressed the scenario. I would imagine that other chip fabs would be able to pick up the slack, including many that are purchasing from ASML already and are on track to begin matching TSMC from a node perspective in a year or 2.
Who said I'm trying to justify anything? I don't think it is justifiable to do during peacetime.

But obviously an existential crisis is not the time that many governments stand on their principles, which is why 'war powers' tend to be justified under extenuating circumstances when countries end up at war.

There is no question, if there is another major war between world powers, they will invoke the authority to compel their industries to cooperate with the effort. If they don't, they'll quickly cease to exist.
2 questions... why AI free? Is it only pulling from reddit, hacker news and stack exchange? I find a a lot of tech discussion has moved to discord, which makes it very hard to find... just even looking at your search samples, kubernetes and react both have official discord servers, and i'm sure there's talk about them in countless other servers.
> Ah, so you made it up. Words have meaning.

Actually, I used the meaning of the word to arrive at the conclusion I did, whereas your objection seems to be to the fact that you didn't use that specific word

> You're changing your argument here.

Nope, same argument the whole time: Drug prohibition doesn't work, and it also causes harm. Perhaps it's confusing when I take time to respond to what you're saying specifically?

> You've forgotten what you're trying to prove and you've misunderstood in what sense I'm saying that my statements are consistent.

What a lovely little gotcha this would be if it referred to anything that actually happened.

> You're restating the same false choice.

Nope, I'm describing reality under the status quo of drug enforcement. I'm not talking in hypotheticals, I'm talking about what happened and continues to happen

> It's been real. I'm gonna leave it here. Consider that a win.

I know it's a trite idiom but nothing about this is "real." You, like many on this website, seem to think debate consists of acting smug and trying to find little "gotchas" while making no case whatsoever for your own beliefs. I understand that trying to define, let alone justify, exactly what it is what you believe is pretty hard. Perhaps that's why you'd like state actors to be empowered to make more decisions for people. Maybe people would have better discussions if they didn't think about it in terms of "winning"
And what happens when you taking dumping to the logical extreme? You wind up with nobody domestically that can do any advanced work at all, because everyone gets put out of business. Then we have nothing to export and no skill or capability gradient to climb.

BYD exists because of Chinese economic protectionism. China carved out a space for its domestic products to grow. We should do the same.
I think you misread the parent. He didn't say Photoshop is bad for painting. He said Krita is bad for photo edition.
How many people ever got rich enough to pay for a copy of WinRar?
There is no liquid nitrogen involved here. The instrument from the article is actually rather big, current generations of quantum IMUs are roughly half this size with lots of room for miniaturization.

One big advantage of these atom interferometers is that they actually don't need to be recalibrated because the reference is the wavelength of the lasers which can be controlled with extreme precision.

A big disadvantage is however the limited repetition rate, which is on the order of only 1 Hz at the moment. Currently, combinations with "classical" IMUs seem most promising, and there is lots of interest in these devices for applications in planes, cars and spacecraft.
> So, that energy density is 100 times greater than whatever TDK's previous solid-state battery was, not necessarily 100 times other battery technologies.

Yes. 100x better density than current LiPo, LiMH, or something like that would immediately enable electric airliners. Like tomorrow.
I agree with you, but it's always hard to ignore the allure of not needing to write all the bindings manually. If nobody is willing to write the bulk of the initial bindings then the chance of someone using it seems low, and in theory writing a transparent layer between the two takes less time/effort (in practice I agree that the incompatibilities will make it messy long term).

Rust has the same problem with C APIs, in the past I've went to use something and found that the binding was not there. For a couple functions it's no big deal, but if say half or more of the ones I needed weren't there already then I wouldn't have bothered trying to use it at all.
EU is, and always was, a compensation job for failed national politicians at their respective national levels. It's the trade horse for allowing your party buddies to take over the government jobs.

EU politicians should keep their over inflated salaries, and stick to what they are good at. Meeting with Google and Microsoft lobbyists at the best Brussels luxury restaurants.
Weird coincidence, just yesterday I cracked open my Appalachian Trail guide to a random page just to scan through it. I opened it to the page with this guy's memorial. I thought "hey I didn't know this guy had a memorial on the AT".
Not to interrupt the "Apple buyer are sophisticated high status individuals" talk but Goldman is losing money on the Apple card precisely because they are lending to people that can't make the payments.
Anthropic actually has a Claude 3 tokenizer tucked away in one of their repos: https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-tokenizer-typescript

At this moment, Tokencost uses the OpenAI tokenizer as a default tokenizer, but this would be a welcome PR!
Sure, and just like all synthetic leathers, it will be both more fossil fuel intensive and an inferior material to the real thing. The current leather market is supplied almost entirely by slaughterhouse byproduct, and this just sounds like more needless human waste.
There is a philosophical definition. Our sensations which make up perception, dreams, imagination. Or subjective experience.
I recently noticed this when debugging email delivery issues for a family member who have their own TLD, but forward everything to Gmail.

Unfortunately, the mail server of the forwarding domain doesn't seem to support ARC, so Gmail frequently throws away everything that doesn't have a DMARC header, since without DMARC the only other option is SPF, which doesn't work for forwarding.

Thanks to hn crowd, who explained it's not super difficult (and not going to lie, summer $500 discount), a Google pixel phone, soon running GrapheneOS, is on it's way.

Can GrapheneOS prevent detection of somebody sideloading Signal?
Yeah, I see, you mean deterministic in the strongest sense - no state, no side-effects. A pure function. Might be worth phrasing it that way as React devs are familiar with that terminology but not the former.
You predicted it. Already on page 3. Algorithmic or not, we'll never know.
I still feel like animal intelligence is completely downplayed.

Dog's can learn new environments and tasks. The simple act of recognizing what a door is and how they work takes quite a bit of intelligence.

As far as I can see, AI still can't make a robotic dog.

The news is that lying on those filings is a federal crime and can lead to jail time (for normal people who are actually subject to law).
Not surprising it’s not so much fun in 2024.
That’s essentially the problem. Everything is plastic because plastic is cheap and versatile, but surprise, it’s also bad for you! Maybe in a century after a bunch of bickering on whether or not it’s really bad, if it’s worth solving, and lobbying by every industry against any potential hit to revenue, it’ll finally get solved, and then we get to find out all the problems with the solution, rinse and repeat.

I wonder how hemp would work out as a replacement, it seems pretty promising - stable, biodegradable, likely inert, and versatile (it can be used for containers, textiles, paper, and a lot more). For degradation, (GMed) fungi or bacteria seem like a potential avenue, surely nothing could go wrong with that.

If you're paying artists to make art in PS, are you not doing it for something you make money off of? Or are you just really deep in the hobby that you're nearing professional level?

Photoshop was never $1500 either. CS6 was $700. The design standard CS6 suite was $1300.

Maybe hunt for artists that use the reasonably priced Clip Studio Paint instead? It's pretty popular among manga and the like artists anyways.
I reject panpsychism on the grounds of the Standard Model.

There are no possible fields at the energy levels we've explored that could have an effect such as panpsychism claims (and fields at any other energy levels couldn't have such an effect). Sean Carroll published a paper on this, and it's worth a read, as is his draft response to Phillip Goff. [1], [2]

The point is that the plateau could be 6 months from now or decades from now, you don't know, and can't make a judgement solely on the idea that all tech hits plateaus.

Moore's law held steady for decades. Nvidia's chip improvements, the main driver behind exponential gains in AI compute per dollar, are not close to slowing down. Even if the current generation of chips is the last one forever (almost 0% chance this is the case), all the SOTA models today were trained on chips from 1-2 years ago, there's still a 2-4x gain per dollar to be made for free.

I'll believe LLM's plateau when they do plateau, but judging on the rate of development in algorithmic advances, chip capacity, multi-modal integration to broaden training data, investment, etc, it seems silly to just assume it will just plateau at a level no more significant that the level we are at now.
I find the idea of embodied, conscious ai "replacing" us, like they are our children, not that objectionable. AIs being conscious is of course a hypothetical and we seem quite far off that happening, if at all possible. If it does happen and they have all the traits we seek in humans, I can see more and more people choosing to have a robot as a child as they presumably can never die of disease etc.

> One automaker, I forget who, was researching doing a hybrid drive train like the volt had, but where the engine could run in that one single speed and charge a battery

Not sure if this is what you're thinking of but Honda's eHEV platform drives the wheels with an electric motor and small battery†, with the engine kicking in as needed to generate current and to charge the battery (as well as regen).

†Until you get to high speeds, at which point a clutch engages and the engine drives the wheels directly, via a single fixed gear.
Requiring an account to use a DJI drone is a human rights violation?
Well, you can go back and look at the original blog posts announcing React? I assume they're still on the internet somewhere. React was a pretty massive speedup over the portions of Facebook and Instagram's frontends that it replaced and they showed off their benchmarks a lot early on. That library had very little in common with the thing now known as React, though.
> now I'm flummoxed as to how Vercel/next.js exists/releases new features

They run on canary react releases. It's a not that hidden dirty "secret".
Apple Pay Later is distinct from Apple's installment payment options for their own products, which have been around considerably longer, though.
I mean, same with gravity, right? In ascending order of complexity, noticing gravity, using gravity for benefit, and explaining gravity are orders of magnitude different.
Ugh, autocorrect and it's too late to edit.

> The correlation does not mean the microplastics are the thing causing IBD. It probably means they are exasperating it for various reasons.

It doesn't even necessarily mean that microplastics are contributing to the harm. It could be that existing disease impairs the body's ability to eliminate microplastics.

Regardless, following the precautionary principle, we should treat them as a foreign toxin until the evidence suggests otherwise.
That expectation emerged because that has largely been the goal of the field of AI research since it's inception.

LLMs stepped into a field that has existed in popular consciousness for decades and decades, and the companies running LLMs for public use *sell* them on the idea that they're useful as more than just expensive text-suggestion machines.
Whatever slim you want to think your recourse is in the US, it is FAR better and broader than in the country that has uncounted mobile execution vans with zero available records of who is executed.

At least the US is trying to be a democracy, and has largely functioning checks and balances.

CCP is flat-out 'you cannot even talk or access information on things that make us look bad, such as Tibet or Tiananmen Protests' and 'make the wrong criticism at the wrong time and it is over for you'.

There is a MASSIVE difference. Playing false equivalence games will end very badly.
What would you say the normal reception you receive from this email template is?

I like the idea, but I would think sending a technical email (with industry-specific acronyms that you don't spell out!) to a business that has no in-house IT would just be ignored in most cases.
1) Was ZZ Top bad? Was Pantera bad?

I chose those two because they were fairly famous local acts in Texas long before they became nationally famous.

ZZ Top in particular used to open for a lot of bands who would tour Texas. They were noted for bringing along a set of local fans who would help sell tickets for your tour.

2) One must suck before one gets good

If you can't make a living while you notionally "suck", you lose the pipeline to "good". I would, in fact, argue that this is really what is dragging down a lot of our "pop culture" right now. We are finally seeing the results of that pipeline collapsing around Y2K.
At first glance this looks excellent! I'm going to keep playing with it.

Phone companies have been letting poor people pay for a $1000 iphone with 36 monthly payments of $50 for years.

The main thing on my mind is that the build system would become more bespoke when doing it that way, compared to running a few processes that interact with each other.

The overhead of socket read+write is typically much less than the serialization overhead, although both can be optimized to the point of irrelevance for many applications.

It's also interesting because it ends up looking like a microservices architecture, except all on one machine (even all in one process tree).
Am I the only one who feels embarrassed when I see something like this?

I'm just a nerd. I'm not involved with ebook publishing. But I know for a fact that I'm the 1%. 99% of the people can't use a computer as well as I'm able to. So this is my 1%. And when my 1% creates a digital version of a product that is inferior to the physical version of the product, and then tells the 99% it's the better way but it turns out they just didn't consider everything, and they don't even seem to care, and it just keeps making things worse for a lot of people, I just feel embarrassed. It wasn't supposed to be like this. It was supposed to be a total victory, better in every conceivable way. If it's not for the smell and texture of paper, then I don't want to hear "but physical books are better because..." This isn't even a complicated technology. It's just text.

How can an industry that can't figure out how to make a book digital handle something like artificial intelligence?
That's an interesting thread ... they claim they won't be compliant, which I applaud, but what will happen is that unwitting Signal users will end up being targeted by law enforcement. There are already precedents of people with "secure" phones or encrypted messaging apps being targeted, such as the Sky ECC case.
This seems unfair given how the team reverted the change. You can argue they messed up and maybe aren't as in tune to some segment of their user base as they should be, but not that they aren't interested in making the best software they can for everyone.
