They have claimed progress since then, but their latest and greatest processor that is available still runs on mostly TSMC chips. 18A has zero proof of being ready by the end of the year like they claim.

So it's okay for you for all Russians to end up with devices we can't use without a non-trivial setup with a router that wraps all traffic into a VPN, all so that Apple could prove a point?
Just to nitpick, the “Byline” is ‘By Ben Turner’

What you are looking at there is a “standfirst”
I built a crappy scripting language. The language itself is nothing special. Vaguely ECMAScript. But it was a ton of fun to _evolve_ the language and runtime system over the span of ten or so years.

I have my collection of scripts in that language, some of which were in regular use for a time, and I wanted the changes I made to be as backwards-compatible as possible. Those were some really fun design challenges. Like: "how do you retro-fit a module system into a language that essentially started out with PHP-style source transclusion for re-use?".
Imagine that you had a gun and one of the features of the gun was that if you had sunglasses on and something in your left pocket, holstering the gun would cause it to immediately fire. You could argue that the gun shouldn’t behave this way, but it’s also possible that others are dependent on this behavior and you can’t remove it.

This is a footgun - the way to avoid the holster firing is to simply not wear sunglasses, or keep something in your left pocket, and then it would never fire. But the problem is that both of those things are extremely common (for good reason). It’s a poorly thought out feature because it has severe consequences (potentially shooting your foot) for extremely common situations (wearing sunglasses and using your left pocket).

Yes, all the US dollar variants since then have had the same size and weight. The latter distinguishes them from Canadian dollar coins that are the same size (within wear tolerance).
this has got to be one of my favorite blog names i've seen on this site
There was a story here a few months ago from a guy who has severe Crohn's disease, with his gut fused to some other organ I can't recall in a way that prevented eating at all. He was able to survive via a direct infusion of nutrients into his blood, but the viscosity of the subtance would make it far too painful to inject by any normal IV route, so he needed a catheter inserted straight into his vena cava. And though this provided all the sustenance his body required for energy, because hunger hormones are produced in the gut, not eating will leave you perpetually hungry even if you actually have all the energy you need. The very existence of obesity should probably make it obvious this is possible, but removing our digestive systems may have unintended consequences. The way this guy described his experiences sounded like a pretty miserable existence.

Congratulations on launching.

What's next for it?
Thanks :] Will do, once (if) I get there.
Well the idea was to use a typescript-capable environment, and we thought that deno could be a good fit.

The main problem is that we spent more time doing trial-and-error than actually developing software.

Maybe it was a bad choice, yes.

Brain dopamine responses to ultra-processed milkshakes are highly variable
This is a good point, and deserves a lot more discussion about it.

I personally don't mind that my code is somewhere else than in a text file, because as it now I have to ductape a huge array of tools to make it to production in languages like TypeScript and Elixir(languages we use at $WORK). I don't want to deal with that anymore than I need to.

I hope modern languages get to the level of swiftness like Unison, but until then I'm really happy with Unison, because code-in-database is only one of the several aspects I like about it(no dependency conflicts being another huge part of it!).

Clang is a good example I know, and Scala(https://www.chris-kipp.io/blog/an-intro-to-the-scala-present...) also has some nifty stuff. But even in Scala things aren't as seamless as in Unison.

Unison does things very differently, and it might not be everybody's cup of tea. But I do hope that popular languages take the good bits and help programmers do less chores and more fun stuff.

> I often feel modern languages get this wrong by “including” too many “batteries” instead of specifying and documenting their build / dependency semantics clearly

Do you have some examples? Nix somewhat aims to solve this, but it has its own drawbacks.
A lot of people these days _expect_ a battery included environment: package manager, build tooling, linting, formatting, a language server, documentation generators. Unison solves a lot of these in one go because of the way it handles code, I think that's elegant and worth exploring.

released more for internal propaganda, and/or the countermeasures are already well known enough to the AFU / NATO that there is no reason to be coy about it.

Plus the ATACMS still work with inertial guidance. that creates ever-increasing errors as the travel time increases but is often good enough for hitting strategic targets.
It feels funny to say "Hacker" when it was just someone one using something on the open internet the way it was (defacto) designed for, and just used it a lot.

Like if I crawl hackernews and download all the somethings am I a "hacker"?

To me a hack is some kind of escalation of privilege beyond what I'm truly entitled to (such as stuffing passwords, tricking software to run a payload, crafting a payload for service A so that it tricks Service B) ...

Sadly the article does not say what is going to take those 15 years. I know that the underlying reason for the delays is that the ITER staff have very comfortable taxpayer-funded lifestyles with no sense of urgency whatsoever, but still would be interesting to know how they are justifying the timeline.
FWIW there is a linter that enforces explicit struct field initialization.
I remember telling my kids how much better TV was when I was young. So to prove my point a player them a random episode of the Ringo Star series if Thomas the Tank. After about 10 minutes my kids were horrified because the Fat Controller was burying Gordon alive (!!) because Gordon didn’t want rain on his new paintwork.

After that I realised maybe kids shouldn’t be exposed to the weird shit people thought was ok in the 80s.

disagree with this. there is clearly a difference between "technical" and "non-technical" people.

the definition "technical people" are using when they make that distinction is close enough to 1a of Webster: "having special and usually practical knowledge especially of a mechanical or scientific subject"

now, it's fine to be non-technical. but don't try redefine "people-people" as "technical, but in a different way". part of being a good manager of technical people is to understand the distinction and the different way they think. i've had great managers and leaders that were technical people that became managers. and the very best managers i've had were non-technical people that were extremely skilled leaders. they grew to understand, trust, and manage technical people. they knew the difference and thrived by providing complementary viewpoints and skills.

but i've seen a whole lot of amateur politicians that didn't really understand people as well as their supposed expertise was touted to. they don't have strong technical skills or even the right mindset, so the recast themselves as being good at other things instead (if not good at engineering, they must be good at management, right?).

they chafe at people calling it "soft-skills" or "non-technical". they use analogies like basketball a lot (and sewing, and rock climbing). to try to equivalate a technical engineering mindset to the way the author thinks is a tell that they don't understand the difference at all. the attempts to change the reality by changing language. mis-ascribing phrasing as some kind a value judgement or slight.

all of this tells me this person is not as skilled in technical fields OR with people as they think they are.

Amazing. Probably one of the coolest open source projects I've seen.

Unrelated, I see you administer the 'network' as34553. After looking through PeeringDB(new to me) and some exchanges, networks, etc, I still have very little understanding of what service is actually being provided here. Is this a backbone network for service providers to lease? Are these typically provided for small groups to interconnect experimental networks? I'm a bit out of my league, but I do have basic networking knowledge (CCNA certified with some experience in an MSP NOC).

I wrote a pair of PHP scripts that let me subscribe to YouTube channels as podcast feeds, with enclosure URLs and all. One script parses the channel's RSS feed and inserts enclosure tags, with the target URLs pointing to the second script with the video ID as a parameter. The second script then wraps youtube-dl and redirects to the raw video URL obtained for that video ID by youtube-dl.

This worked great for years, but recently, YouTube stopped serving their `22` format for most videos, which coupled 720p video with the audio stream. Now, the best resolution you can get with audio and video interleaved is `18`, which contains only 360p video. So that's the best resolution obtainable this way for now, unless I add a whole layer to this to reconstruct an interleaved video from separate audio and video streams selected from the DASH manifest.
Rust editions are very conservative, expect everything to be built from source, with the same compiler, and don't touch semantic changes across versions, mostly grammar changes.

Example, there is no story for scenario, where a callback defined in one version, is used in another crate version, calling into code, using yet another version, while passing a closure with a specific type with semantic changes across all versions.

I am not yet convinced they will scale at the size of industry use cases for C and C++, with a plethora of compilers, and mixing several editions on a 30 year old codebase.

To elaborate on your statement, we all think in very different ways. Recently there was an academic test posted here that evaluated “how” a person thinks (internal monologue, use of images, how memories are recalled, etc.). After my girlfriend and I both took the test and I saw how differently we both think, I was shocked. Had we not taken this quiz I’d have assumed the inside of her mind fundamentally worked the same way as mine does. But that is seemingly very far from the truth.

As where I can visualize, use internal monologue, vividly recall my memories, etc. at will, by default I do none of the above, and my thoughts are opaque to me. For her, she almost exclusively uses her internal monologue when thinking, and her entire thought process is consciously visible to her. It’s entirely conceivable that other people might not have an experience of “consciousness” resembling anything like what my idea of consciousness is.
Absolutely. Of late I have an iOS app to measure the grade of hills. Initially this was to avoid parking tickets in San Francisco which requires curbing your tires for a 3% grade. The reality is that this is basically no grade and you should just curb no matter what in SF. Still fun to know how steep the hills are when walking.
The other one is to set the exif data on photos to be taken in Pyongyang 100m underground tomorrow. This me is probably going to get me and my friends in trouble with the NSA for messing up their database, but these things happen.

hard depreciating assets (factories) + selling chips are way worse than actually selling an ecosystem. NVDA is just getting started :-)
Yeah honestly, I'm in awe of how... weirdly well PLCs work? Yes they aren't exactly super complex usually, but they just work together. You can know exactly what your Plc will work with, you can see what it does in its vendor supplied GUI, it can be basically plug and play.

In a way that would be impossible without the insular ecosystem that the PLC world has, but that really doesn't matter considering how well they do the job.

And yeah, I think the reason why it hides complexity pretty well is that they are meant to be field repairable by regular technicians who don't necessarily know a lot about the underlying systems. That also makes it super easy to use... once you set up everything that is haha.

Thank you for the pointers, I heard about codesys but I always assumed that vendors all used their own proprietary islands of standards and only paid lip service to Interop. I'm only passably familiar with Siemens PLCs so not super knowledgeable either!
Where do you get them? Any kind of owner confirmation or just roll the dice? I feel a bit queasy buying used drives, imagining it has been redlined, while living in 95C temps for three years before I come along.

No, sorry, what you wrote is wrong.
Transformers process sequences token by token, but they don't do it cumulatively in the sense of linear models or RNNs. Instead, they process all tokens simultaneously in terms of calculating attention. The link I provided shows that visually.

Every time a token is processed in a transformer, the model computes its attention relative to ALL other tokens in the sequence. This is a key difference from sequential, step-by-step processing where previous states are incrementally built upon (so your :n, :n-1 etc). The attention mechanism in transformers recalculates the relationships for EACH token with ALL other tokens EVERY time any part of the input sequence changes.

When new tokens are added to the sequence (for example user input after a system prompt), the attention relationships for ALL PREVIOUS tokens can change. This is because the context provided by the new tokens can alter the relevance and interpretation of the earlier tokens. As such, the attention scores and subsequently the output embeddings for all tokens are recalculated to integrate this new information. So as you can see, you are not doing the same work over and over.

I hope this helps you better understand how transformers work.
Uh no.

The explanation is that Haskell has terrible performance idioms like “copying shit for no reason all the time”.

There’s a reason that the prevailing opinion on language performance within the Haskell community is “thinking about performance of a language is a premature optimization”

This, of course, ignores that Haskells poor performance characteristics are actually technical debt, for which all people should be considering off the bat for their project. You cannot simultaneously say “premature” and not also add this to the techdebt column.

There comes a time in *all* scaling applications that Haskell will be such a burden, that it’ll be forced to be rewritten.
> You would need some coordinating mechanism to ensure that all the p-zombies have the same hallucination

You mean like talking and writing? As I said, how would p-zombies invent organized religion or other common spiritual beliefs that are false?

> Since a non-p-zombie can sit down and interrogate the details of their conscious experience, then write a book about it, which others read and agree upon the fine details

First, assuming you think that we're not p-zombies, not everybody agrees on the properties of consciousness even though we presumably have such an introspective ability. Therefore what you describe is a kind of fictional just-so story, and clearly doesn't actually happen in all cases.

Second, when there is no fact of the matter as with p-zombies and consciousness, any argument about consciousness only has to be rhetorically persuasive, not factual. Why do so many people agree on the broad properties of ghosts, eg. translucency, pass through physical objects, etc. despite such things not existing? There is no fact of the matter being described, so people just need to like the story being told, or perhaps how it's told.

In such a world, Chalmers and other philosophers of consciousness are just persuasive writers that spin a convincing just-so story connecting fictional internal states to real world observations, and people/p-zombies run with it thinking they learned something meaningful.

Suffice it to say, I think this is uncomfortably close to our world.
And even earlier Samuel Butler in 1863 (hence the "Butlerian Jihad" against AI in Dune).

You can’t skip over step 1, this is an axiom. I see more materialists denying they have consciousness and free will. Kind of funny actually.
