If push comes to shove I certainly want to be prepared to do so, but no, it's not something I yearn for. I have many other reasons to try and keep the large US IT-companies at arms length, among them the criminality of US law with regards to data protection rights.

However, most weekends I travel to the forest with my family and we spend some time walking, cooking and hanging out in a distinctly analog setting.

No, it doesn't. It assumes they might know someone who knows someone that has valuable input. Doesn't require that they have direct experience either, it's usually enough that they have adjacent experience. And then there's books, when _I find myself to be the unique snowflake in my social network there's always someone who wrote a good book or more on the topic. By now my physical library is quite large and covers a large portion of occidental modernity, both fiction and the sciences.

The Internet is nice and all, and sometimes there's good advice in contemporary web forums, but it's also pretty young and lacks both the depth and width of the last few centuries of dead tree storage. These days people also throw second hand books after you if you say you're interested, or they charge a euro at most unless it's something collectors might find valuable.

I quite enjoy computers and computer networks, though. It's mostly the social and entertainment industrial side of it that I find unsatisfying.
Thanks, good to know -- that's something I can change
I've seen this pop up several times, but when I see this line...

>The event, which could occur anytime between now and September

I know the likelihood of me seeing it live is almost 0, so I'll just have to look at the pictures from the telescopes and cameras that are undoubtedly locked on it. If I do see it, great, but I have 0 expectations.
Some guy at Google who worked on like 14 chat apps over the last two decades might just welcome it...
I had never seen this purported quote before. And I found it extremely dubious that he said such a thing. Seeing as you didn't provide a source I went looking for one. I found first a recent NYT piece [1] with the purported quote. Here's the first paragraph of that piece :

> Fourteen years ago, at a human rights conference in Oslo, I met Julian Assange. From the moment I encountered the wraithlike WikiLeaks founder, I sensed that he might be a morally dubious character. My suspicions were confirmed upon witnessing his speech at the conference, in which he listed Israel alongside Iran and China as part of a “rogue’s gallery of states” and compared the Guantánamo Bay detention facility to a Nazi concentration camp

I think it's pretty obvious from that opening that it's a hit piece on Assange. Anyway, that piece links to an earlier Guardian piece [2] for the source of the quote. That Guardian column is another, and even more obvious, hit piece on Assange. Here's its first paragraph :

> You did not have to listen for too long to Julian Assange's half-educated condemnations of the American "military-industrial complex" to know that he was aching to betray better and braver people than he could ever be.

Vomit. But finally in the Guardian piece we find the source of the purported quote. It's from David Leigh and Luke Harding's "history" of WikiLeaks. I think most people who have closely followed the Wikleaks story will understand how unreliable and compromised both David Leigh and Luke Harding are to serve as 'witnesses' or sources for any reporting on Wikileaks and Assange. But they've served their masters very well as yellow journalists engaged in a state backed smear campaign against Assange.

> Fundamentally if you've got separate blocks of memory tied together by pcie then it's either annoying copying data across or a potential performance problem doing it behind the scenes.

Well, as I said that's amenable to automated planning.

I tend to avoid [other people's] dependencies like the plague. Not just for security, but also for performance and Quality. I think I have a grand total of two (2), in all my repos, and they are ones that I can reengineer, if I absolutely need to (and I have looked them over, and basically am OK with them, in their current contexts).

But I use a lot of dependencies; it's just that I've written most of them.

What has been annoying AF, is the inevitable sneer, when I mention that I like to avoid dependencies.

They usually mumble something like "Yeah, but DRY...", or "That's a SOLVED problem!" etc. I don't usually hang around to hear it.
Okay but your entire comment is riddled with mentions of complex systems (flight envelope system?) which proves the point of the parent comment. "Management" here is a group of humans who need to deal with all the complexity of corporate structures, government regulations, etc.. while also dealing with the complexities of the products themselves. We're all fallible beings.
I suspect its the processing and validation, not the raw data that is difficult. At least for cities.
I would agree with you if minification delivered marginal gains, but it will generally roughly halve the size of a large bundle or major JS library (compared to just gzip'ing it alone), and this is leaving aside further benefits you can get from advanced minification with dead code removal and tree-shaking. That means less network transfer time and less parse time. At least for my use-cases, this will always justify the extra build step.

Way back when, a buddy of mine had caught a garter snake, and wanted to give it to me. Natural enough, we're both enthusiasts. I was not available when he stopped by, so he put it in a drink cup, and put the cup in my car. He said he'd left a note but it missed me.

Snake got out. Snake got up into the vents.

Later that evening, I'm driving home, in full crush, Chicago suburbs, weekday afternoon traffic. Snake pops up out of the vent right by my right hand and says "Hi!".

It was somewhat disturbing. I like snakes, mind you. This is not the context in which i was expecting to meet one.

i had his neck quick and had to deal with upset snake coiling on (and stinking up) my arm, but he didn't get a chance to bite. I got pulled over to where I could let him out safely. Then had to sit there and watch the traffic go by for a while while a regained my equilibrium and tried to wipe snake crap off my jacket.

Next time I saw my buddy, he asked "Did you get the snake?". Much joy was had then, and since, from the story.
So sorry to have caused the confusion. I've updated the post to be more detailed. Honest mistake. I was referencing the mechanical parts of the board that move the dot.

Because even if you don't touch Windows (or whatever mediocre malware Microsoft presently peddles) those folks come to you and say stuff like "skype won't start" and lo! it does not start, though after much clicking around and rebooting and trying the obvious things you discover that if you right-click and try "open with skype" on the skype icon then skype will start. That problem at some point disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared. Eh, who knows, it's Windows, and there's more science to reading tea leaves or goose entrails.

Then after za'o decades of stories like the above (it is merely the most recent of many) one might wonder how does Microsoft with so many programmers and so much money produce such kusogeware? That continues to waste my time?
I think the first step is to have a .claudeignore file (or maybe we can standardize on .llmignore) to tell it which files you don’t want it to add to the context. You could easily eliminate millions of tokens by ignore node_modules in most JavaScript projects!

This is one of our biggest pain ponts with Helm right now. Can you share your plans?

> If you want to rob a bank, and you come and ask me to be the getaway driver, we're both going to hang. It doesn't matter who had the idea for the crime, what matters is that he materially assisted in carrying it out.

Flawed analogy.

He didn't help them rob the bank. They asked "what is a good way to get away from a bank robbery." He answered "here are some ideas that have worked in past bank robberies."

And it's not a false dichotomy. The law considers mens rea to be a very important factor. The law isn't a black and white application of imputed standards to our social order. You can tell this because we allow juries to decide what happens in them.

> but I will probably live to see you completely lose your global hegemony and your fantasies of power

Not sure where you live, friend. And perhaps America never should have attempted to be world’s policeman. Neither an international awareness nor an appreciation for the subltiew of diplomacy have never been America’s strong suit.

But rest assured it is tired and over such a role, with two plus decades of military veterans having seen up close and personally how ugly the world can be in places.

Perhaps you are merely a troll but I’m guessing you have seen the most recent trendlines on this planet. They don’t look good. And it appears will get exactly what you seek.

Of course I see this as a conflation of life versus intelligence.

Do I suspect we'll see life commuting between galaxies, seems unlikely life as is fragile compared to how damned harsh space is.

But intelligence is a completely different story. We send rudimentary intelligences to space and have racked up billions of miles on them. It seems far more likely that any space faring civilization would look like the following.

1. They would ship the instruction to build life when the reach the destination they are heading too. Machines with error correction seem much more resilient would be much more likely to reach a destination if they had enough energy for the trip so they could refurbish themselves over time.

2. Getting rid of the bodies/life part in the first place. Who cares if it's a million years if you can just pause yourself?

Of course the fact the entire universe isn't filled with Von Neumann probes (at least that we see) points out that this hasn't happened yet.
I think this is a grey area. If you commit a crime via the internet like fraud can a state go after you? I guess I think so. Should Assange have been prosecuted is a different matter. Can journalists be prosecuted seems also like a hard case by case question. In general if you are acting in the public interest and only act as a publisher IE do not recruit or gain secrets yourself you shouldn't be prosecuted. I also think it's 100% in an other nations right to deny extradition. So what I think is that this is a hard case with lots of grey area that isn't as clear cut as people pretend it is.

Be interesting if we kept developing this tech. Where would CRT's be now?
My own interpretation of the business cycle is that growth cause externalities that stop growth. Sometimes you get time periods like the 1970s where efforts to control externalities themselves would cause more problems than they solved, at least some of the time. (e.g. see the trash 1974 model year of automobiles where they hadn’t figured out how to make emission controls work.)

I’d credit the success of Reagan in the 1980s at managing inflation to a quiet policy of degrowth the Republicans could get away with because everybody thinks they are “pro business”. As hostile as Reagan’s rhetoric was towards environmentalism note we got new clean air and clean water acts in the 1980s but that all got put in pause under Clinton where irresponsible monetary expansion restarted.
I think you're overthinking this. "Thanks for the PR. Could you update the commits to English, please?" Is all that's needed.

If the situation is pissing you off, that's a separate thing. Maybe you should slow down and consider why. Someone just gave you some of their free time, just not in a perfect way you expected.
> Taking LLaMA 3 70B as an example, in float16 the weights are approximately 140GB, and the generation context adds another ~2GB. MI300X’s theoretical maximum is 5.3TB/second, which gives us a hard upper limit of (5300 / 142) = ~37.2 tokens per second.

I think they mean 37.2 forward passes per second. And at 4008 tokens per second (from "LLaMA3-70B Inference" chart) it means they were using a batch size of ~138 (if using that math, but probably not correct). Right?
> At the same time, some state secrets are best kept secret for national interests and Assange seemed to show a lack of regard for protecting this type of information.

Julian Assange was an irresponsible arsehole. Doesn't mean his treatment was anything resembling just. While he probably put a lot of people at risk, I've not heard of anyone actually getting hurt as a result of his actions. Given that, and given his treatment in prison, he's more than served his time.
the problem is that EU basically wants Teams to be more expensive so that Slack will become cheaper and thus more attractive.

> Every public-school kid has to learn exactly the same things, in the same timeframe, in the same order, at the same pace.

Standardization isn't a bad thing. If there are no standards, then how could the state identify poor educational outcomes and fix them? If there's no way of identifying them, what's incentivizing schools and teachers to do a good job?

I get that a lot of people (teachers especially) aren't fond of standardized testing, but the alternative sounds like an administrative clusterfuck
I'm not sure if it's a particular version or environment that does this, but at the very least I can't replicate it on my home PC with Teams (personal). If I disable it in the task manager's autostart, it remains disabled if I start Teams. It won't even let me enable "Auto-start" in the Teams settings if it's disabled in the task manager.

But it is a replacement. One project don't need to be a pareto obtimum to claim to be replacement, it's ok even if there are some drawbacks.

Having to pay is clearly one drawback for some, but if you save this money by not having to develop some features or getting some support, then it may be worth it.
I always want something like that as a feature. For a hobby project on a free plan I prefer have an auto delete feature and choose the timeframe.

Read the code:

- If you can understand it and it makes sense, feel free to rewrite the git history and accept the patch.

- If you cannot understand it, ask questions based on your understanding. Feel free to refuse the PR if it does not end up making sense for you.

The fact that the commit messages are not English don't matter at all IMHO: you are entitled to refuse a PR even if the commit messages are in English. What matters is whether or not you want to maintain the offered changes. And in order to do that, you need to understand the code.

The phrase "supply chain attack" makes it sound like it's some big, hard to avoid problem. But almost always, it's just developer negligence:

1. Developer allows some organization to inject arbitrary code in the developer's system

2. Organization injects malicious code

3. Developer acts all surprised and calls it an "attack"

Maybe don't trust 3rd parties so much? There's technical means to avoid it.

Calling this situation a supply chain attack is like saying you were victim of a "ethanol consumption attack" when you get drunk from drinking too many beers.
Remember that the passenger cars are not the only thing that can scale; if you can automate the mapping and data preparation part of the process sufficiently, you may even be able to reduce it to mostly a matter of driving a few sensor cars around for a few weeks; maybe even cars that are adapted versions of your normal taxi vehicles, but with a human driver behind the wheel while you are mapping.

I would imagine that while Waymo's mapping efforts have been very human effort-intensive so far, they will be looking at developing this automatic map-making capability as a high priority for rolling out new cities. Scaling the rate of expansion is then mostly a matter of throwing hardware and compute at the problem.
